so all right at first i have this book

out there i’m promoting the best thing

to do is to eat your breakfast it’s the

most important meal of the day

and then i flip over to this idea where

no no no that’s false information don’t

eat your breakfast

fast and uh now i’m flipping and

recommending eating breakfast so what’s

going on so just hear me out it will

make sense because sometimes when you

hear new information

that changes the way you do things uh

for the better um you know you have to

be willing to at least

learn about it and study about it and

then maybe even try it to see if it does

work better my goal is definitely not to

be right about things it’s just to be

more successful with things and

unfortunately especially in science

there are certain

scientists that just they have their

pet theories and boy they are not very

flexible in changing their viewpoints on

their theories so i think it’s a good

thing so i want to share with you some

information that

may possibly change your mind about this

as well and i’m not saying you should

even do it but just hear me out you have

various variables you have your diet

okay and then you have

fasting your pattern of fasting okay

for me it’s 20 hours fasting a four-hour

eating window

but you also have the timing of when

those patterns are

so when is your first meal is it going

to be

at 12 noon 3 o’clock it’s going to be at

night well at first i thought it really

didn’t matter too much okay i thought

maybe if you can you know go to bed at

night you wake up you’re already fasting

why would you want to eat right you just

ride the wave and you go as long as you

can and that seemed to work pretty good

but there’s something that happened to

me recently that caused me to just look

at this timing a little bit closer

i’d say about two weeks ago i was i ate

really late and i ate a lot of protein

and i did not sleep hardly at all

and it got me thinking first of all

protein tends to stimulate and wake the

body up and of course if you eat a lot

of that late at night that’s not good

too

so i started to do some research into

this area and found this right here

early time restrictive eating

and there’s

quite a bit of hardcore research on this

basically eating earlier in the day

because that

aligns with your circadian rhythms a bit

more which i found interesting

especially since it affected my sleep so

in other words the whole concept is

basically do your pattern but just

switch it earlier

and uh don’t eat past like three o’clock

but i want to share with you some of the

research on this it’s pretty interesting

there was better homa ir

results what’s homo ir that’s a test to

measure insulin resistance so basically

there was improved insulin sensitivity

okay so that’s

that’s cool number two there’s better

blood sugars now these studies that are

listing down below

really are not changing the diet they’re

not changing the pattern of eating

they’re just changing the timing of when

you eat that’s it

and we have better blood sugars number

three there’s better or improved beta

cell response that is the main cell in

the pancreas that produces insulin and

so it just responded better which is

interesting

number four

you had less appetite

in the evening now

a lot of people graze at night

so

if you can just really handle that

appetite at night so there’s absolutely

no cravings whatsoever that can be

beneficial and number five there was

better insulin levels

after

you’re eating so when you eat the

insulin should spike a certain level

well there was less spiking so obviously

it was better insulin control over the

food that you ate number six there was

more autophagy and number seven i

already mentioned this it aligns with

your body rhythms a bit more apparently

in the evening

the the genes that deal with food are

more downgraded they’re supposed to be

downgraded not upgraded so if you eat

too late you kind of upgrade them and

start activating them

and because it’s part of your digestive

system that’s going to kind of wake you

up and affect your sleep so i found that

fascinating so

my pattern is 20 hours of fasting and

for our eating window so

i will eat at 9 a.m okay

first meal second meal at one and then

i’m done i will not eat anything past

this

now another thing that this

tends to solve is this little cortisol

spike at eight o’clock in the morning

where a lot of people get this wave of

hunger and

you know always just tell people to push

through it

but if you did eat here and then had

your next meal here and maybe even go to

three o’clock and if your pattern is a

little bit different it might give you

more results with what you’re trying to

achieve now the drawback is that

if there’s a social event with other

family members at dinner

you know that’s going to create a

problem so it does throw off your

schedule and i’m not even saying that

you should do this pattern all i’m

saying is that it’s something to look at

if maybe you want to squeeze out more

results

i’m going to continue to do this for a

couple more weeks

and

so far so good but i’m not 100 sold on

this quite yet i want to do this for a

little bit longer to see what happens

but i like the concept i like the

results so far i am noticing improvement

in my sleep so i just wanted to

introduce you to this

concept

and something you may want to consider

or not depending on where you’re at and

your results that you’re getting and

since we’re on the topic of blood sugars

i recently released a video on a really

cool spice that you can consume that can

even take you to the next level with

your blood sugar so i’m going to put

that up right here check it out
