We still don't know if Wilcox does intermittent fasting, but we do know that Terry Crews does:

I'm all for intermittent/extended fasting but hard pass on the 90 day sex fast. That's a thing now?

The Oakland Raiders once played the Minnesota Vikings in the Super Bowl in New Orleans.As I remember the story, in the days before the game, the Raiders were out partying every night until all hours. In the press, someone asked Casey Stengel if sex before a game affected the athletes' performance, and Casey replied, "It's not the sex that is a problem, it is the staying up all night looking for it."

Wife Strong no think Wilcox looks like a Cal coach. She thinks he looks like a weaker Cal Strong. Or like the actor cast to play a Cal coach in a future Disney adaptation of our 2021 Rose Bowl season.

Just curious, do you ever find yourself outside of the Bear Insider blog talking like Cal Strong writes? Save me the response that you always like Cal Strong, but stronger in real life.

Was shopping for a birthday card for my mom and they had Valentine's Day cards out already. I figured I'd pick one out and hopefully not rush out at the last second like I usually do to get stuff. The one I picked out was a caveman/Cal Strong type card. I laughed. Almost picked up a second copy to send him.

To answer the OP I asked JW this tonight. He had no idea what intermittent fasting even was (nor I realized did I having never actually read this thread). Ragle then explained it to both of us. JW's response was "why would I do that". He then looked at me like I was crazy for asking the question. I blame all of you for this.

Did you get a "what do you mean" when you first asked the question?

Yup. First response. Although it may have been "what does that mean."

The OP asked the question before it was revealed that JW coached at Cal for years in two different stints and only last month(?) stepped inside of a Top Dog.

Anyone who's never struggled with weight would wonder why he/she would skip meals. Their metabolism works just fine. Anyone who has struggled would at first think intermittent fasting is impossible... "I'd be too hungry". Once you get your insulin management under control intermittent fasting is relatively easy. And it's a good way to not have to restrict what you eat when you do get to eat. Yes, I intermittent fast.

Glad you asked the question, but with all due respect to JW, he also says he he hasn't even been to Top Dog. So something is clearly off here when it comes to food. I wonder if he's hiding something because if i were a betting man, I'd bet he has both been to Too Dog before AND does intermittent fasting. Also odd that Ragle of all people had the answers. He could be complicit in JW's cover up.

Even more concerning about your exchange is that his lack of awareness of intermittent fasting suggests he doesn't read this board. Where the heck else does he go for advice on how to be better coach and which assistants and players should stay/go?

Also, the answer to the question about "why would anyone do that?" is:

1). To live longer. 2). To live healthier/happier and 3) to annoy the **** out of your friends.

Right, though I'm not sure "metabolism" is the issue. In general, people's metabolisms (the rate at which your body burns calories) are very similar, once you control for the level of physical activity. But there is evidence that some people's brains are wired differently to get the "I'm full" signal more quickly than others. The people who get that signal more slowly are more likely to be overweight and might have to engage in tricks like intermittent fasting to control their intake.

We talked about that as well. He said he'd eaten Top Dogs at the stadium several times before. Just hadn't gone to the restaurant (and I can't believe I'm using "restaurant" for a Top Dog but "store" doesn't sound right).

I'm sure he reads this board "for advice on how to be a better coach and which assistants and players should stay/go". it's just that he is so disciplined, he skips the off-topic threads, even if his name is mentioned in the title (because he is so humble).

And that's what you call taking one for the team. Bless you, Sebasta. This may be the nicest thing anyone has ever done for us.

This is a nice survey you can take on intermittent fasting.

3. Investigate compounds that target autophagy

Autophagy is a pathway used by cells to recycle damaged proteins and destroy pathogens, but some viruses can hijack the autophagy pathway to manufacture virus proteins [4]. Therefore, whether autophagy inhibition or activation would be more effective against SARS-CoV-2 infection needed further exploration.

We used Pathway Studio and found 406 compounds that inhibited and 802 compounds that activated autophagy. In total, 33 of the compounds that activated (and none of the compounds that inhibited) autophagy were listed among the 121 drugs reported effective against coronaviruses. In addition, Gassen et al. found that blocking autophagy attenuation inhibited MERS coronavirus replication [5]. Both these findings suggest that activation of autophagy inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication and autophagy-activating compounds should be investigated as antivirals.

---

I presume the compounds that they studied were all in vitro lab studies. But 33 of the 121 compounds that were effective against coronavirus ACTIVATED autophagy. The western/pharma model to find a drug to "cure" people is going to be 5 years too late for this pandemic.

What else promotes autophagy that doesn't require FDA fast track approval? Fasting. I'm hearing from the ICU's that BY FAR the most common characteristic of those getting vented is obesity. IIt is safe to say that the obese patients have not experienced much or if any substantive autophagy while they were breathing on their own. Food addiction and continuous processed carb consumption is coming home to roost. The thing is autophagy is not weight dependent. Everyone can physiologically promote it, you just have to fast.

BTW, the other thing that upregulates autophagy is exercise. But most people eat before or after exercise which stops autophagy. So unless you are working out 5-10 hours a day, you can't get the autophagy that fasting gets you. Also, sufficient sleep also upregulates autophagy, because most people aren't eating while they are sleeping.

Many theories have emerged as to why intermittent fasting works. One theory is that this timing of eating leads to less free radicals. The fewer the free radicals, the less inflammation occurs in your body. Another hypothesis is that nighttime eating leads to higher levels of insulin resistance. Insulin resistance and obesity both contribute to cardiovascular disease. It would follow that limiting food intake at night would lead to the opposite effect. The last and most popular hypothesis is that prolonged fasting allows the body to better utilize fat stores for energy rather than using glucose. This in turn leads to a more efficient way to lose weight.

Theories aside, how exactly does intermittent fasting lead to better cardiac health? The risk factors that lead to heart disease and strokes is what comprises cardiac health. These include obesity, blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes. Intermittent fasting has been shown to lower cholesterol, blood pressure and glucose levels along with weight loss. Improving those risk factors in turn leads to better cardiac health outcomes

When you are fasting, you rely on fat metabolism to fuel your body. Fat metabolism lends to one of healing, repair, and recycle. Sugar/carbohydrate(which is the dominant macronutrient in the standard western diet) metabolism lends to a growth metabolism. As an adult growth metabolism confers very little benefit and allows cellular dysfunction to flourish. I also recommend avoiding polyunsaturated fats(as opposed to mono and saturated fats). These wreck your mitochondria.

somehow I have a feeling you don't see this discussed (especially in detail) on any SEC site.

Yes - the dietary discussions on SEC boards are of the "what are the differences between Dr Pepper and Mr Pibb" variety.

Or, "what jug wine pairs with opossum stew?"

For multiple reasons I have slipped back into an SEC diet in 2020. I'm going back to the PAC 12 diet in 2021.

I tried intermittent fasting a few months, it gave me an ulcer, so I stopped.

That can happen, better to pair it with lots of probiotics.

The best advice I heard is to eat your breakfast or first meal of the day as late as you can and dinner or your last meal as early as you can.

Still is skinny. Stress generally doesn't confer that phenotype in the USA(ubiquitous comfort food doesn't help). Suggests a possible self control aspect(or possible pathologic orthorexia). Apologies ahead of time for noticing and commenting on the body habiti of others.
