About the benefits of fasting discussions are not one decade. Many doctors and athletes consider a complete rejection of food for some time one of the most effective ways to lose weight, maintain health and even combat certain diseases. But the problem is that fasting is a very painful process.
As tells The Atlantic, Silicon Valley startup HVMN has developed a special drink that will allow anyone to eat as usual, while still experiencing all the benefits of fasting. The developers of the nutritional supplement started from the processes occurring in the body during the period of refusal to eat. At this time, the body enters a state called ketosis - and it extracts energy not from the food it receives, but from fat stores. And this is the rare case when fats really "burn".
Ketones are chemicals produced when fat is “burned” after the body has “burned” all carbohydrates. This process is called ketosis and can be achieved either by fasting or by a ketogenic diet that is high in fat and very low in carbohydrates. The ketogenic diet was originally developed to help children with epilepsy, but ketosis has been found to promote effective weight loss as well as high concentration and energy levels.
The new drink, called Ketone, launches these processes without the agonizing refusal of food. Already after 30 minutes after drinking, the same effect begins, and immediately, with the results that can be obtained after six days of fasting. The package consisting of three bottles with Ketone, costs 99 dollars. They say that the drink tastes very unpleasant: "It's like a mixture of nail polish remover with cough syrup, which was poured into a garbage can and kept in the sun for a while," writes The Atlantic. Well, perhaps, the effect of the drink eliminates the unpleasant taste and aroma.
