A video shared on social media claims to illustrate what may happen to your body when you don’t eat for 36 hours.

Intermittent fasting has seen a big explosion in popularity, with many people claiming that it has helped them in their lives, including none other than former UK prime minister Rishi Sunak.

Sunak reportedly had regular 36 hour fasts, including during his time in number 10 itself, and there are some experts who claim that there may be health benefits to the practice.

The video on the FoodVFact account shared a timeline, saying that after four hours your digestion stops and insulin levels drop.

After eight hours your blood sugar has dropped, and after 12 hours fat burning in the body may also start to happen, entering ketosis.

After 16 hours autophagy starts, and then after a full 24 hours it describes ‘major repair mode’ in the body.

When you get to 30 hours growth hormones go up, and fat loss is accelerated. Finally after 36 hours the video describes ‘deep cleaning’ in the body.

However, experts have also warned that while there may be evidence that some people may get some benefit from the practice, intermittent fasting is very much not for everyone.

Adam Collins is an associate professor of nutrition at the University of Surrey, and warned that people who have an eating disorder or are pregnant should not try intermittent fasting, He also said that people who have diabetes should also be very careful if attempting it, though there may be some evidence of a benefit in people with pre-diabetes.

Weight loss is of course one of the big driving forces behind the popularity of intermittent fasting, with the video showing that after a certain point the body enters ketosis, effectively where it starts burning fat in order to sustain itself.

Collins has himself conducted research which compared people who underwent a period of intermittent fasting with people who followed a strict calorie-counting diet over the same period.

“In essence, what you’re doing is shifting the body from using fundamental carbohydrates for fuel towards using fat as a fuel over that 36-hour period,” he told The Guardian.

And ketosis is not the only process which there is evidence that fasting could trigger, there is also one called autophagy.

Collins compared this to spring cleaning, saying: “Your cells start to break down cellular components and then recycle those components for other things.”

One popular form for intermittent fasting is called the 5:2 diet.

This is effectively dividing up your week into five days and two days, where you eat your normal diet on five of those days, but then reduce it down to a quarter of your usual diet on two of the days.

It’s less drastic than fully fasting for 36 hours, but the idea is that you reduce your intake for that shorter period, and there is less of a big impact on your body than might be produced by fasting completely.

Fasting itself is considered to be among the most extreme diets out there, and Frank Modeo, a professor of the Institute of Molecular Biosciences at Karl-Franzens University of Graz in Austria, warned that ‘it has not been sufficiently investigated within randomised controlled trials’ to know for sure if there are health benefits, Healthline reports.

The definition of ‘fasting’ can also be loose, with some people still drinking tea and coffee, and others including bone broth in their fasting, while even stricter people go for just water.

Yorkshire Wildlife Park has announced that they will be reopening tomorrow (16 October) following the death of a man last week after he climbed into the tiger enclosure.

As the park reopens they’ve asked visitors ‘to be understanding and respectful towards our staff team, who have shown tremendous professionalism and dedication during an exceptionally difficult time’.

They also reassured people they were ‘providing specialist trauma support and ongoing care’ to people who were affected by the recent death.

In a statement published to social media they said: “Our thoughts and heartfelt sympathies remain with the family, friends and loved ones of William Chapman who sadly lost his life.

“The safety and wellbeing of our visitors, staff team and animals remain our highest priority.”

Chapman, 24, died of multiple traumatic injuries after he climbed into the tiger enclosure and was mauled by a tiger.

An inquest into his death opened today, which heard that Chapman had a diagnosis of schizophrenia and had previously suffered from bouts of psychosis, the BBC reports.

Though the self-employed online trader was under the care of adult mental health services in Doncaster, he was described as ‘highly functioning and independent with no care requirements’.

Senior coroner Nicola Mundy told court staff to contact Yorkshire Wildlife Park to ask them to retain any CCTV footage of the incident.

Altai the tiger is ‘safe and well’

The wildlife park has made it clear that the tiger will not be put down as a result, and their staff were very concerned with his welfare.

“We would like to thank all the people who have emailed, commented on our social media or contacted us with messages of support and love for our team at this time,” their statement continued.

“Many, many people also contacted us about Altai, the tiger. We can reassure everyone that he is safe and well and will not be euthanised as a result of this incident.

“His ongoing welfare at YWP remains a priority of our experienced animal care team.”

The tiger enclosure will be reopened along with the rest of the park, and YWP have made it clear they will still help South Yorkshire Police with their investigations into what happened.

During the tiger attack, zookeepers were seen trying to distract the animal by firing shots into the air, with their efforts eventually scaring it off.

With the tiger running away and hiding it allowed emergency services to reach Chapman, though sadly he was pronounced dead at the scene, and a ‘black screen’ was erected around the tiger enclosure to keep prying eyes away.

Emergency services had been contacted shortly after 1.30pm on 10 October, police said that Chapman had visited the wildlife park alone on the day he was killed.

“The family are utterly devastated by their loss and are struggling to come to terms with what has happened,” they said in a statement on Tuesday.

“The publication and circulation of deeply offensive media content is causing them severe distress at an exceptionally vulnerable time. We ask people to stop doing this.

“The family are hopeful that the relevant authorities will do their upmost to get to the bottom of why our amazing son did what he did.

“William was a bright, warm and engaging young man whom his family dearly loved – and William loved them back.”

A potential lineup for the upcoming Universal theme park has caused major controversy online as people share their thoughts.

A viral post created a potential mockup of the upcoming theme park, which included several big brands in the enormous movie-themed attraction.

The post, by the account DigitalDan7, explained that it had been pulled together from information about the project which is currently available, so it’s not an official confirmation of the layout, more an educated guess based on an official piece of artwork which Universal has released.

In the post, the user explained that the map was ‘based on grading maps, leaks & documents’, sharing an ‘updated look at the park layout’.

This included seven different areas, including themed areas such as the general Hollywood area, as well as Paddington, Jaws, Minions, Harry Potter, Back to the Future, Jurassic World, and Waterworld.

And since the park mock up was shared things have gotten slightly heated on social media.

One person took a more optimistic view, writing: “Why is everyone crashing out lol idc what IPs there are it’s a literal Universal park in the UK that’s all I care about.”

But many others had a lot of opinions on the layout.

One wrote: “We could’ve got a Game Of Thrones section or a Dune section or a Rick and Morty section…”

They added: “What’s the point in this park if it’s just the same as the Orlando ones? A lot of Brits/Europeans/Americans etc have already experienced these sections”.

Another pointed out a slight flaw in the weather in the UK, writing: “Not sure how Waterworld is going to work considering how cold and rainy it can be in the UK. I feel it would be more fitting if they did a bond show.”

They weren’t the only person to be frustrated by the lineup, with another person writing: “You’re telling me they don’t have The Simpsons? No DreamWorks? No Nintendo? no NOTHING?”

One person was frustrated by one choice in particular, writing: “the world does not need another Harry Potter theme park. get rid of the Wizarding World and give us a Dark Universe/horror park.”

Another shared their frustration, writing: “Waterworld and harry potter; over having a lord of the rings, universal monsters, or a james bond area. make it make sense.”

Meanwhile someone else questioned why there wasn’t a James Bond themed section, given than this would make a lot of sense in the UK.

“If it’s normal waterworld instead of James Bond I will forever think of it as a dropped ball,” they wrote.

But others were much less critical, with one writing: “It’s wild to me that people from the UK are complaining about getting Jurassic World (arguably one of Universal’s best dark rides) and a Back to The Future themed Intamin.”

Nick Hutson, a composer who writes music for theme parks, also tweeted about the lineup, explaining why these particular choices might have been made.

He wrote that people ‘need to realise’ why these choices were made, writing: “Potter is successful. Back to the future is big. Paddington is a British icon”, adding: “Get over it.”
