Goldhamer, DC Introduction, XXX History, XXX Physiology, XXX Clinical Research, XXX Case Reports, XXX Clinical Studies, XXX Clinical Application, XXX General Principles, XXX Laboratory Values, XXX Adjunctive Care, XXX Contraindications, XXX Side Effects, XXX Conclusion, XXX Introduction Fasting is broadly defined as the voluntary practice of partially or completely abstaining from caloric foods and beverages.1 Fasting methods differ based on the amount and type of calories consumed daily, time period for daily caloric consumption, fasting duration, as well as rationale.1-6 Therapeutic prolonged water-only fasting is the protracted (i.e., ≥2 days) consumption of only water for purposes of health promotion.1,2,7 Most humans have enough nutrient reserves to safely undergo a prolonged water-only fast (herein called “fast”) for at least 1 40 days8-10 depending on body mass index, fat and muscle percentages, activity levels, and state of health. Human survival during fasting is supported by our ability to enter ketosis and utilize ketone bodies as an alternate energy source for the brain and other organs.11 Ketone bodies potentially modulate some of the molecular and cellular adaptations observed during nutrient deprivation.12 Preliminary evidence correlating beneficial clinical outcomes with fasting13-17 supports the continued research and clinical application of this method. In this chapter, we briefly review various aspects of therapeutic fasting in humans including historical context, physiological

  • Fueling the Vegetarian (Vegan) Athlete Joel Fuhrman and Deana M
    NUTRITION & ERGOGENIC AIDS Fueling the Vegetarian (Vegan) Athlete Joel Fuhrman and Deana M. Ferreri Dr. Fuhrman.com, Inc., Flemington, NJ FUHRMAN, J. and D.M. FERRERI. Fueling the vegetarian (vegan) athlete. Curr. Sports Med. Rep., Vol. 9, No. 4, pp. 233Y241, 2010. Vegetarian diets are associated with several health benefits, but whether a vegetarian or vegan diet is beneficial for athletic performance has not yet been defined. Based on the evidence in the literature that diets high in unrefined plant foods are associated with beneficial effects on overall health, lifespan, immune function, and cardiovascular health, such diets likely would promote improved athletic performance as well. In this article, we review the state of the literature on vegetarian diets and athletic performance, discuss prevention of potential micronutrient deficiencies that may occur in the vegan athlete, and provide strategies on meeting the enhanced caloric and protein needs of an athlete with a plant-based diet. INTRODUCTION individual who follows an eating style that is high in micro- nutrients. It can be vegan or include a limited amount of According to the American Dietetic Association (ADA) animal products, but it is distinguished from other eating (7), vegetarian diets are nutritionally adequate for all stages of styles as follows: a nutritarian diet includes a large amount of life and for athletes. However, many discussions of nutritional high-micronutrient, unrefined plant food V based on vege- adequacy of vegetarian diets focus on avoidance of nutrient tables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and beans. In addition to minimizing deficiencies rather than inclusion of health-promoting whole or avoiding animal products, a nutritarian diet avoids or foods whose benefits are supported by the literature.
