 Fasting reduces inflammation.

The increased autophagy might also be helping to clear out old damaged cells in your knee.

Bone broth & gelatinous meat (brisket, pork knuckle, ribs) is high in glycine & should be good for repairing after the fast.

 Yeah - it's just odd I've been doing carnivore(ish) for some time now. But fasting seems to really help. I feel if I went on an extended fast they would heal much quicker. Right now I'm doing a 24 hr fast once a week.

 Carnivore is really good for lowering inflammation.

I find my sweet spot for fasting is around 48-72hrs. After 72hrs I start to struggle.

I do an 17-18hr fast every day but it's been a while since I did an extended one. It feels like it's time for one.
