The perfect answer to: "How do you get your protein?"

The answer is: "I try to avoid overeating protein because it causes cell regrowth and aging."

Will fasting or living on a fruit diet slow my metabolism?

Initially, any calorie reduction will cause a lowering in the base metabolic rate. The cleansing during a fast will bring health, increasing metabolic efficiency. In other words, you will need less food and feel more energetic. Another contribution to efficiency is digestion will improve due to a cleaner colon. The colon walls have been cleansed of impacted feces, allowing enhanced absorption of nutrients. Something few people know is a more efficient metabolism slows the aging process. Overeating, especially a diet high in protein, stimulates cell regrowth. Sounds good but not really. Every time a cell dies its replacement is slightly inferior, hence, aging. A recent study revealed rats that lived on a restricted diet lived longer than rats given as much food as they could eat. Now this will be a problem for those who, after a fast, return to an idle, calorie-rich diet. Simple math. Increased calories eaten then burned will be stored as fat.

The greatest impact you can have on increasing resting metabolism is exercise. Within days of fasting, start an aerobic program, like running, biking, anything that will increase heart rate about 140 beats a minute for at least 20 minutes. Start slow, working your way into it. WhatÂ’s really exciting is after a 20-minute workout, you can sit on the couch and read, burning twice the calories you normally would as muscles grab glucose from the blood to replace glycogen supplies. The key to weight loss is fewer calories and more exercise. A diet high in raw food provides fewer calories and higher fiber.

Great answer! But then you may have to get into explaing cell regrowth and all the effects of why protein can have this effect and effect aging. ouch!

I think that the best answer is
"I get it from the same place as the gorrila and the elephant does and they do not seem to have a problem"
My answer to the comment "eating like that is not normal" is as follows
Normal at my age is to have high blood pressure, obesity, poor bone density and be worrying about cancer heart attack and stroke.I do not want to be normal.

My response: from my food. It's KISS.

I do like the "normal" response though.
