That should have done wonders for your IGF-1 ratings. Would be interesting to know what your levels are now. The programme said that high levels of IGF-1 is a major contributor to age-related diseases. One of the scientists interviewed on the programme was saying that after a year of such a diet, you practically wipe out the possibility of getting any of these diseases.
Today is going to be a fast day for me. So far I have had one cup of Rooibos and a small apple. Just looking for online calorie calculators to help keep track.
