so recently had a question am i getting

enough calories when I’m doing in a

minute fasting so let’s talk about that

well the first point I want to bring up

is it’s not really about the calories

per se it’s about the nutrients in the

calories so we all want to focus on that

but it does take a certain amount of

calories it takes at least 900 calories

to get these nutrients okay now the

higher the amount of nutrients in the

foods the less you will need so if we

were to compare kale for example to

iceberg lettuce it’s about ten times the

nutrition you would have to consume ten

times the amount of iceberg lettuce to

get the same nutrition from kale an egg

a pasture-raised organic egg versus a

chicken breast without skin hands-down

the egg just has so much more nutrition

and vitamins and nutrients but chicken

doesn’t have a lot of nutrients other

than some protein hot dog versus wild

caught salmon right well caught salmon

has a lot of omega-3 hot dogs

last time I checked doesn’t have a lot

of omega-3 a pecan is much healthier

than a peanut okay so then you have

protein powder which is extremely low

fat protein lets you have whey protein

powder we were to compare that to

grass-fed beef grass-fed beef has a lot

more nutrition now the next thing you

want to know is when you do in a minute

fasting and you put your body in a state

of etapa G which is the recycling of

proteins your body is taking old damaged

parts proteins and recycling them into

new raw material to build new tissue so

you need four amino acids go way down

your need for fatty acids are not near

what it would be like if you were doing

three or four meals a day because your

body is retaining these nutrients its

recycling them not only that but etapa G

will help the retention of nutrients

vitamins and minerals so those are da’s

or those requirements are much less so I

would just say watch out for any

nutritional deficiencies that you might

run up against like let’s say your hair

start falling out or you feel tired or

your your nails are brittle then we know

you need more nutrients let’s

about one meal a day okay so people have

a lot of questions about this if you’re

gonna do one meal a day do you have to

multiply the three to six ounces of

protein times three and have like 12 to

18 ounces of protein with that meal

that’s going to be really hard to

consume that no you don’t because you’re

in a top of G and you’re gonna conserve

protein you’re going to conserve fatty

acids so eight ounces of protein seven

ounces of protein nine ounces of protein

is totally fine you’re not going to need

as much you’re also going to not need as

much fat because you’re gonna retain

some of the fatty acids as well as far

as vegetables go I mean if you can

consume a very large ten cups of salad

that would be great but maybe you can

get away with seven cups especially if

you’re not used to eating that those

amounts but the point is that when you

eat less your body will adapt to some

degree so you do not need the same

quantities some of the nutrients that

are hard to get when you consuming one

meal a day trace minerals B vitamins so

personally I take my wheatgrass juice

powder my nutritional yeast tablets and

my electrolyte powder just to make sure

that I’m getting all the nutrients and

prevent any nutritional deficiency and

it seems to work fine alright well
