hey guys this video is mainly for

beginners and I’m gonna show you how to

do in a minute fasting and actually give

you a cheat sheet it’s down below you

can click the link below and print it

out and I actually detail exactly what

you do step by step but I’m just going

to summarize it right here now why is

intimate fasting so powerful now when

your body fast it does something very

very interesting certain genetic

switches turn on that put your body into

a repair mode in a healing mode so your

inflammation drops your brain cells

start growing and it’s a survival

mechanism because if there’s no food

around and you’re starving your body has

to survive better you have to think

better you have to you have to be not

have hunger and that’s within a minute

fasting your hunger goes away you don’t

have cravings anymore so it makes it a

lot easier but your brain cells start to

grow it’s very interesting so your

cognitive function improves so where do

we start we start where most people are

at which is like six meals and I’m

talking including snacks in that as well

a lot of people are snacking through the

day and they snack at night and

unfortunately they’re just eating too

frequently the problem with that is

every time you eat you trigger this

hormone called insulin and now we have

high insulin and now we become a

pre-diabetic and there’s so many

conditions connected to that and you

don’t even want to go down that road so

this is very very very bad okay now the

first step is to do three meals today no

snacks so at this point what we want to

do is we want to eat correctly and what

I’m gonna recommend is something called

healthy ketosis if you click down below

I have a video that will then allow you

to download like an acceptable food list

so you can find out what you should eat

on this program because you want to

combine in a minute fasting with healthy

ketosis together if we do that we can

really get the body healthy so three

meals and when you eat this certain way

you’re it’s going to make it easier

because your body is then going to adapt

to fat-burning that takes about three to

five days to get into that

mode where you’re actually living off

your fat our bodies have I mean a skinny

person has over a hundred thousand

calories of fat sitting there on their

bodies in storage we only have 1700

calories of stored sugar our bodies were

not on a survival mode not meant to live

off the stored sugar but that’s what

people are living off of and that’s why

they’re so dependent on food what we

want to do is we want you to run off

your fat fuel this is healthy and it

should be a primary fuel that you use

simply because our bodies have so much

of it so and when you actually convert

to fat-burning which you have to combine

in fasting without the ketosis you all

start tapping in the fat what’s going to

happen is your your hunger is gonna go

way way way way down and here’s the rule

if you’re not hungry don’t eat go as

long as you can because why would you

want to break the fast with eating

because you’re in fat burning might as

well ride the wave and allow your body

to just burn up some of this this stored

reserve or a potential energy we’re

going to call it so we go from three

meals no snacks down to two meals a day

now for some people they need to add

more fat to the meal to make it easier

to be more satisfied to go longer as far

as your breakfast goes usually what’s

going to happen after about three days

you’re not going to be hungry in the

morning so if you’re not hungry in the

morning don’t eat because if you do it’s

going to stimulate insulin and now your

sugar is going to come down because

insulin pushes the blood sugars down

you’re gonna end up with lower blood

sugar and that’s when you’re gonna be

hungry so you weren’t hungry until you

ate now you’re hungry an hour later

that’s what we’re trying to avoid so

start to eat only if you’re hungry let’s

say you’re hungry now at 10:00 in the

morning and then 11 a morning until

eventually you don’t even need a

breakfast anymore a lot of people are at

two meals a day okay and there’s a thing

called an eating window it’s basically

the time between the these meals right

here

so some people if they have to snack

they’ll do it

within the eating window okay verses in

the fasting period over here so now the

next step after two meals is to start to

push these two meals together closer so

if we push them closer to let’s say four

hours a four hour window of eating that

gives us 20 hours of fasting okay now a

lot of times when you actually read

about in a minute fasting there’s

different ratios that people are doing

like 4 to 20 6 to 18 that basically

means the 4 hour window of eating 20

hours of fasting or 6 hours of eating 18

hours of fasting or 8 hour window - 16

hours of fasting so we want to kind of

keep improving this especially if you

need to lose weight and you need to

improve something in your body whether

it’s inflammation an immune problem a

body organ issue dementia something very

interesting happens when you do a 6 to

18 a six hour window of eating and an 18

hour fast okay what happens is you go

into a toff ajit what is that

it’s where the body starts eating up its

old damaged protein it starts to recycle

like a self-cleaning oven cleaning up

all the old crap in the body like dead

proteins altered proteins and damaged

mitochondria and even viruses and

bacteria and Candida it starts cleaning

all this stuff up that’s when you start

to look younger feel younger you have

less stiffness in the body so this

happens at 6:00 our eating window and 18

hours of fasting and then when you go to

20 hours it’s going to be more okay so

here you are at a four hour window of

eating and a 20 hour fast so if you want

to take the next level what you do is

you just do what’s called oh man that

means one meal a day okay a lot of

people are doing this probably not as

many as doing this but a lot of people

are doing this especially if they’re

over the age of 50 and their metabolism

is slow and they have a thyroid issue

and they want to lose weight but not

even necessarily those people a lot of

are actually fit they do one meal a day

just they just feel better because

you’re burning your fat and what happens

when you do that as your body starts

conserving nutrients it starts to retain

nutrients so you’re going to be eating

less calories because there’s no way you

can have the same calories of three

meals but you don’t need the nutrients

as much anymore because your body’s

holding on to those nutrients the same

thing with protein so you’re not going

to lose muscle you’re not going to do

anything because you have these enhanced

hormonal factors like growth hormone and

you have retention of nutrients so you

eat this one big meal right here and

then you you go for what 20 23 hours of

fasting and then some people do

prolonged fasting that’s in another

video but the point is that this is a
