so in this video I want to answer the

question is in a minute fasting really

that different for women compared to men

a lot of times I’ll get this question

you know female should I be doing in a

minute fasting I heard it was unhealthy

it’s gonna mess up my hormones so so

let’s just take a look a little bit

deeper into that topic what’s the

difference between a man and a woman is

that women have a more complete

reproductive system okay so they have

more estrogen they their bodies can make

another body and that’s all tied in with

survival and when you go into this topic

of starvation that is anti survival

right it lowers your survival starving

actually decreases your lifespan so

that’s going to create a lot of problems

with the endocrine system hormones etc

but here’s what I want to differentiate

we got starvation got fasting and a low

calorie diet when you do a low calorie

diet you’re actually cutting down the

food that you’re eating and usually

you’re creating nutritional deficiencies

alright when you’re doing fasting you’ve

created an adaptation to running your

body off fat the meals that are

recommended should not be low calorie

meals if you’re doing it healthily

because we want to provide for all of

your nutrients so overall you are

cutting calories because you’re not

eating so frequently but in that actual

meal you are satisfying your nutrients

now when you’re starving you’re creating

nutritional deficiencies all over the

place okay and you pretty much tapped

out your fat now you’re running off

muscle protein and you’re you’re hungry

all the time right you’re extremely

hungry it’s called starvation when

you’re fasting you’re not hungry it’s a

low stress situation in fact you feel

really good you feel euphoric and

hopefully you have nutritional reserves

based on what you ate in the past and if

not you need to enhance that with

supplements but in a low calorie diet

you’re usually craving carbs you’re

hungry all the time your body is telling

you to eat and I really think the

confusion is not really defining a

healthy version of in a minute fasting

okay because

if you just cut your calories you are

gonna create stress within the endocrine

system you’re gonna be hungry all the

time you’re gonna be craving and that’s

gonna create an issue and also when

you’re doing like the pattern of

so-called intimate fasting where it’s

like five and two like you eat what you

want for five days and then for two days

you basically cut your calories down

that’s not the definition of benevento

fasting that is going to create a

problem on the reproductive system

because you only have two days there to

adapt and that’s just not long enough

and plus all the other days you’re

probably eating foods that you shouldn’t

be eating so if you’re doing in a minute

fasting healthily okay and you’re doing

it gradually so your body can adapt and

you making sure the meals are

nutrient-dense it’s going to enhance

your reproductive system it’s not going

to create a problem all right thanks for
