so this video is mainly for the beginner someone  that is just starting intermittent fasting i had  

a question recently regarding the five and two um  diet which basically is what i think is the worst  

intermittent fasting pattern and then  in this video i want to talk about  

some really good intermittent fasting patterns  now the whole purpose of this is to achieve the  

massive benefits of fasting without the negatives  like loss of muscle nutritional deficiencies so  

let’s start with the worst intermittent fasting  pattern it’s called the five and two diet it’s  

also called the fast diet and this is how it  works so for five days you’re gonna eat your  

normal foods whatever that means and then for  two days you’re gonna go on a low calorie diet  

500 calories per day now to me this is not even  fasting it’s really a combination between eating  

junk food for five days and then for two  days you’re restricting your calories  

now if you’re going to do two days  each day being 500 calories and it’s  

keto foods you’re going to experience some  benefits but here is the big problem it takes  

three days to actually get into ketosis so by  the time the two days are up you barely have  

gotten into ketosis and if you haven’t gotten the  ketosis you’re gonna be suffering you’re going to  

be craving carbohydrates you’re going to be hungry  it’s going to be very very difficult but you’re  

going to lose some water weight initially and you  might think wow this is working it’s helping me  

lose weight and then you can go back to your  normal regular foods for the next five days  

so from my viewpoint the five and two diet is the  absolute worst all right the next worst pattern  

which is maybe slightly better than the five  and two is what’s called the alternative day  

fasting in which you would eat what you want  on one day and then the next day you do a 500  

to 600 calorie diet so you go back and forth  and back and forth but remember it takes three  

days to get into ketosis so you really are not  even scratching the surface so you may create  

some benefits but number one it’s not sustainable  and you’re not going to even be close to achieving  

the benefits that you should be achieving so let’s  switch over to the best patterns so the 18 and six  

where you’re fasting for 18 hours and then you’re  eating within a six hour window so let’s say for  

example your first meal is at noon and your second  meal is at 6. that would be a good 18-6 pattern  

now if you want to achieve more benefits you go  to the 20 and 4 which i really like so your first  

meal is at 2 and then your second meal is at six  giving you 20 hours of benefits from fasting now  

if we want to take it one step further you’d want  to do one meal a day it’s called omad and a lot of  

people do this especially if you’re over the age  of 50 with amazing amazing benefits so if you’re  

new to my channel i put some links down below so  you can learn how to do this correctly because  

when you’re doing omad you want to make sure  that you’re definitely doing certain nutrients  

because if you have any potential subclinical  deficiencies going into eating one meal a day  

you know you could have some issues all right so  what does all this magic that happens at 18 hours  

or 20 hours number one you spike growth hormone  which is anti-aging number two you increase what’s  

called autophagy so now you’re actually tapping  into an anti-aging condition where your body is  

recycling old damaged proteins and you’re  starting to extend your life number three  

your inflammation goes down dramatically  so if you have arthritis autoimmune issues  

this is going to be very beneficial next one is  your immune system will start to improve so you  

strengthen your immune system next one is you’re  going to lose weight and i already mentioned  

you’re going to live longer by doing this and  the last two benefits which are quite huge is  

this number one your cognitive benefits your focus  your memory your concentration will do better and  

your mood will do better and so if you’re doing  the five and two and the alternative day fasting  

where you’re grouchy all the time doing the  18 and 6 or 24 or omad you’re going to be very  

very calm you’re going to feel serene you’re  going to feel really good so i challenge you  

to give it a chance try it out start with the  18-6 and just see how you do thanks for watching
