are you too scared to do in a minute

fasting okay well that’s what someone

told me this weekend and I want to

explain what I told her okay so she was

trying to get on the program she could

do the ketogenic diet but she had a

problem with fasting because she was

really really nervous that it was gonna

be too painful she didn’t want to starve

okay I don’t know why she didn’t want to

starve she was fearful of extreme hunger

and muscle loss because she has to eat

so frequently that when she doesn’t eat

she just freaks out it’s like a

stressful situation when your body goes

into this flat or fight mode and the

interesting thing is that every time she

eats she’s never satisfied she’s she

constantly has to eat food she can’t

lose weight and she can’t sleep as well

there is a way to do it that is not

uncomfortable because here’s the thing

the benefits are huge that go way beyond

just weight loss cognitive improvements

with your focus in memory and mood

elevation but your inflammation drops

your brain actually can grow new cells

so here’s what I told her okay you start

with three meals no snacks the key is

adding more fat to the meal fat is very

satisfying it’ll allow you to go longer

without eating okay

now her thought was well my gosh I’m if

I eat all this fat how am I gonna lose

weight I said here’s the thing your

first goal should not be weight loss

okay it should be hunger loss so the

first goal of intermittent fasting

should be to get rid of your hunger so

you actually can do in a minute fasting

you’re never going to be able to do that

with hunger okay and cravings it’s going

to be impossible so you have to add fat

and you have to drop carbs and then

what’ll happen you’re not going to be

hungry as much and that’s gonna allow

you to go longer and longer to the point

where you can drop out your breakfast

and now you’re at two meals and you

start pushing these together closer and

closer and as you key to adapt if you

want to cut down the fats you can do

that but not initially so the fat really

is the key to allow intermittent fasting

to actually work and get your body need

ketosis so you’re not

running on glucose anymore because

that’s all about craving and being

hungry because I mean look at this you

only have 1,700 calories of stored sugar

okay that’s like maybe six to eight

hours but you have about over a hundred

thousand calories of stored fat you have

an unlimited capacity to store fat our

bodies were designed to use fat fuel but

now that the frequent frequency that

people are eating realize you’re going

for no hunger no craving and if you keep

your carbs low this should happen pretty

quick and you start to drop off these

meals push it to two meals if you want

to go to one meal that’s great but get

comfortable with this first all right
