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.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 ) A hunger minimized fasting system, comprising:
 a) preparing a fasting person for 3 to 5 days prior entering a fasting phase;   b) providing liquefied vitamin and mineral supplement on a daily basis enabling production of numerous enzymes for use in glycolysis, the process of conversion blood glucose to pyruvic acid and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as well as beta oxidation of fats in the TCA (Kreb) cycle;   c) providing on a daily basis juices, clear solid free vegetable soup of 8 to 12 ounces every 2 to 4 hours during waking hours representing a caloric intake of only 800 to 1200 calories representing a deficit of 600 to 1400 calories, maintaining blood glucose levels in the range of 5 to 10 mM (90 to 180 mg/dL), preventing the onset of hunger sensing mechanism present in the brain hypothalamus and brain stem preventing or minimizing the hunger sensation of the fasting person;   d) said clear solid free vegetable soup formed by lightly cooking vegetables in water at a temperature of about 80° C. to 95° C. to extract vitamins and minerals and micro nutrients and filtering out all solid material;   e) the blood glucose entering anaerobic glycolysis process synthesizing two pyruvic acid. molecules and two ATP molecules per glucose molecule in the extramitochondrial portion of the cell;   f) absence of solid material in the digestive organs including stomach and intestine reducing or eliminating brain hunger response from gut sensors and hormones by K-cells and L.-cells;   g) said reduction in calorie intake with blood sugar levels maintained in the satiety region causing fat molecules from fat storage to be released into the blood stream by hormone sensitive lipase with the help of adrenaline hormone and transported bound to serum albumin arriving at the extramitochondrial portion of the cell the very place where glycolysis produces ATP and is readily available, fatty acid reacts with ATP to give a fatty acyl adenylate, plus inorganic pyrophosphate, which then reacts with free coenzyme A to produce a fatty acyl-CoA ester plus adenosine monophosphate (AMP), precursor to ATP which enters the inner barrier of the mitochondria with the help of carnitine to form acylcarnitine during beta oxidation to produce acyl-CoA ester and that undergoes the TCA cycle within the mitochondria, and producing many molecules of ATP, the essential constituent for all cell operations; and   h) exiting the fast following the same procedure as the fast entry phase, but adding additional insoluble fibers such as whole flax seeds, chia seeds or bran flakes to adjust the digestive system for accepting solids;   whereby the overall calories of juices and vegetable soup consumed on a daily basis fall well below daily minimum calorie requirements of the body by about 600 to 1400 calories necessitating use of stored body flit or lipids to enable the functioning of body tissues and muscles;   whereby said brain hunger sensing mechanism is minimized or prevented and glycogen is not depleted from said fasting persons's muscles and liver, thereby allowing movement and exercise of the fasting person while all muscle tissues are preserved from any muscle degradation.   
     
     
         2 ) The hunger minimized fasting system as recited by  claim 1 , wherein said juices are clear solid free juices including orange juice, apple juice, pineapple juice, grape juice, pomegranate juice, coconut water, watermelon juice, cantaloupe juice, carrot juice, beetroot juice, celery juice, or combinations thereof. 
     
     
         3 ) The hunger minimized fasting system as recited by  claim 1 , wherein said clear solid free vegetable soup contains carrots, broccoli, beets, celery, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other vegetables. 
     
     
         4 ) The hunger minimized fasting system as recited by  claim 1 , wherein said fasting stage is in the range of 10 to 90 days. 
     
     
         5 ) The hunger minimized fasting system as recited by  claim 1 , wherein said fasting stage is extended to 120 days 
     
     
         6 ) The hunger minimized fasting system as recited by  claim 1 , wherein said fasting stage cannot be restarted after exiting phase without going through the preparing phase which is offset from the exiting stage by at least 4 weeks. 
     
     
         7 ) The hunger minimized fasting system as recited by  claim 1 , wherein said exit phase of fasting includes the addition of higher levels of calories. 
     
     
         8 ) The hunger minimized fasting system as recited by  claim 1 , wherein said clear solid free vegetable soup formed by lightly cooking vegetables in water at 80° C. to 95° C. for 20 to 30 minutes to extract vitamins and minerals and micro nutrients and filtering out all solid material and cooling the filtered soup. 
     
     
         9 ) The hunger minimized fasting system as recited by  claim 1 , the body weight of the fasting person decreases by about 0.5 to 1 pound per day of fast, the decrease being largest in the initial stage of the fast and decreases gradually. 
     
     
         10 ) The hunger minimized fasting system as recited by  claim 1 , the body weight increases by about 5 to 10 percent as the fasting person gradually resumes normal diet. 
     
     
         11 ) The hunger minimized fasting system as recited by  claim 8 , wherein the soup is prepared by cooking the vegetables in water at a temperature of 80° C. to 95° C. for 30 minutes. 
     
     
         12 ) The hunger minimized fasting system as recited by  claim 1 , wherein evacuation is facilitated by use of enemas or suppositories. 
     
     
         13 ) The hunger minimized fasting system as recited by  claim 1 , wherein the fast is conducted at the home of the fasting person. 
     
     
         14 ) The hunger minimized fasting system as recited by  claim 1 , wherein the fast is conducted at a fasting facility or hospital. 
     
     
         15 ) A method for hunger minimized fasting, comprising:
 a) preparing a person's body for fasting consuming only fruits in the morning, mid day and switching over to raw vegetables in the evening and prior to bed time for three to five days;   b) starting each day of fast by consuming 8 to 12 ounce of solid free vegetable soup with solid free liquefied vitamin and mineral supplement;   c) consuming 8 to 12 ounces of fruit juices every 2 to 4 hours throughout waking hours;   d) consuming 8 to 12 ounces of solid free vegetable soup with solid free liquefied vitamin and mineral supplement prior to bed time;   whereby hunger pangs are minimized even when steps b), c) and d) are followed every day throughout the fasting period which is less than 90 days.
