It takes around 48-72 hours to deplete liver and

muscle glycogen stores, During this time, the body

increases the process of gluconeogenesis, the

conversion of body protein into glucose, to help keep

the brain fueled, before it switches over the ketosis,

and producing ketones from increased fat burning.

Would not this response be similar to the one acheived

by the " every other day " feeding (with no restriction)

we saw previously. I think it was in the 3 meal/1

meal where both groups took in similar calories,

protocol.

Maybe there is additional benefit to CR in giving the

body occasional time periods where no food is

consumed, even if the % CR is minimal.
