I had another question from someone that

wanted to know what do I think about the

fasting mimicking diet okay so this is a

diet that was developed by a guy by the

name of Valter Longo okay and he has the

patent on this program and basically you

consume 800 calories for five days okay

I have a certain diet and then you go

back to your regular eating the rest of

the month and then you do this each

month for three months okay so you’re

going to lose weight you’re going to

have positive changes so the macros are

90 percent protein

44 percent fat and 47 percent carbs okay

that’s way too high okay then we have

this this meal pack you have this box of

these powdered things and you’re going

to mix them with water you have

vegetable soup you have energy drinks

energy bars chips snacks tea and you get

supplements okay

it’s $249 so I was able to find some of

the ingredients there’s a couple things

that I really don’t like in the

minestrone and quinoa soup first of all

has 5 grams of sugar and it contains

rice flour and potato flakes it’s very

high glycemic and then the elbahr Coco

Crisp bar

3 grams of sugar it has inulin which

produces a lot of gas

brown rice sugar brown rice syrup rice

dextran and grape juice okay yeah

now the supplement is all synthetics and

it doesn’t look like there’s a lot of

natural anything and then supplement

here’s what I have a problem with okay

number one it’s way overpriced okay if

you were just to replace this with

really healthy ingredients it would be a

lot better and a lot cheaper number two

it contains sugar and low quality foods

that stimulate insulin why would we want

to even add those in there I have no

idea number three it’s a low calorie

diet it’s not fasting it’s a fasting

mimicking program but it’s really not

fasting so it’s really a low calorie

diet and it’s very painful to do the

people that are doing this are really

suffering through it and the

reason is because they don’t go through

a nice gradual adaptation process they

just cram you right in there and you

really never adapt and because you’re

eating less calories you’re going to

lose weight and you’re gonna probably

have some other benefits too but you’re

not going to feel real good a much

better way to do this would be to

gradually go into keto and then combine

in a minute fasting and slowly get your

body to adapt to fat and then when

you’re adapted to fat your hunger goes

way down cravings go way down you have

mental clarity and it’s not painful

it’s very pleasurable but the thing that

I really don’t like about this program

is it just does not teach you healthy

lifestyle changes okay you eat this food

go back to your regular eating for a

whole month and then you eat this diet

for five days and you go back and you do

that three times

so what do you do after that so despite

you losing some weight and having some

benefits I think it’ll be much better if

you get on the healthy ketosis and in a

minute fasting more on a consistent

basis and get educated so you can do

this long-term and really be healthy
