Hunger minimized juice fasting system

Abstract

The hunger minimized fasting system relies on providing a blood glucose level at all times in the range of 5 to 10 mM, satisfying glucose needs of the brain and metabolizing blood glucose through anaerobic glycolysis to release ATP at the extramitocontrial portion of the cell. Consuming only solid free nutrient liquids eliminates brain hunger response. Liquids consumed during fasting include solid filtered vegetable soup and clear fruit juices of 8 to 12 ounces taken every 2 to 4 hours having calorie deficiency of 600 to 1400 as compared to minimal daily calorie requirements for an adult. Fat released from storage is metabolized by ATP produced by glycolysis at the extramitocontrial location and enters the interior of the mitochondria, enabling the TCA cycle. Weight loss observed during fasting is about one half to one pound per day.

Description

1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This method relates diet management; and, more particularly, to a fasting method that utilizes juices and vegetable soup to stave off hunger pangs by providing a high sugar and carbohydrate content that satisfies the brain glucose-glycogen need.2 . DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART[0002]There is a global epidemic of obesity taking place, which leads to several obesity related diseases. There is a strong desire to effectively lose excess body weight. The present invention relates to a fasting method designed to lose excess body weight and body fat, and improve the functionality of critical body organs without creating hunger pangs as the duration of fasting effort progresses.[0003]Many patents and prior art documents relate to fasting methods. These methods aim towards reducing the body weight of the fasting person by merely reducing the calorie intake by way of limiting the quantity of food consumed. These methods do not pay attention to body mechanisms tha...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a hunger minimized fasting system that uses natural body processes to allow for prolonged fasting without the feeling of hunger. It achieves this by maintaining blood sugar levels in the range of 5 to 10 mM (90 to 180 mg / dL) which satisfies the brain's requirement for a continuous supply of glucose, while also preventing the brain from ordering the release of stored glycogen from muscles and liver. This system utilizes clear juices and soups that are filtered to remove any solid residues, which helps to reduce hunger pangs and minimize the feeling of hunger. The fasting process involves a pre-fast phase of 3 to 5 days where fruits and vegetables are consumed in the morning and raw vegetables in the evening, followed by a post-fast phase where the same fruits and vegetables are consumed in a more relaxed manner. The system also includes a liquefied vitamin and mineral supplement to provide essential nutrients and prevent nutrient deficiencies during fasting. Overall, this system allows for a safe and effective way to fast for extended periods without experiencing hunger or muscle fatigue.

Problems solved by technology

Prior art methods do not allow such prolonged fasts without the feeling of hunger.

More importantly, with such prior art methods, the progressive fast decreases body energy available and a person becomes very week and is generally unable to move.

The brain does not demand release of glycogen stored in the muscles and liver, a step that generally results in the weakening of the fasting person.

Eating protein or meat does not solve this problem since the eaten food is not in contact with blood.
