today we’re going to discuss how to burn

more fat while you are sleeping

now the first thing to know is that if

you’re going to burn fat it’s going to

happen at night now during the day

if you weigh yourself before you go to

sleep and then compare that to when you

wake up versus when you wake up and

compare that to the end of the day

you are going to find if you use a

special scale that you are going to lose

a little bit more at night and hardly

anything during the day you burn fat

when you’re relaxing when you’re resting

when you’re repairing but what i want to

talk about is how to

turn that dowel up how to burn more fat

while you’re sleeping so when you go to

sleep at night you actually go through

four different waves of sleep from a

superficial level to a much deeper level

and there’s like four different waves

that you go through it’s in the deeper

delta wave where you’re burning the fat

and what triggers that is this hormone

called growth hormone and growth hormone

is the main fat burning hormone it’s the

hormone that helps to

mobilize fat from the fat reserves and

help you use that for energy and repair

so then the question is how do we get

more of delta wave sleep so you can get

more growth hormone well there’s many

things you can do related to sleep but

one is making sure that your room is not

too hot if you’re slightly cooler you’ll

get more into a deeper restful sleep so

i keep my temperature about 65 to 68

degrees now the next thing is you want

to make sure your room is very very dark

so there’s no light coming in because

darkness stimulates melatonin and

melatonin triggers

growth hormone okay and that’s going to

help you sleep so this is why you

wouldn’t want to be on your cell phone

or your computer right before bed you

don’t want to expose your eyes to blue

light so the best thing before bed is to

maybe read a book or you know if you’re

going to watch tv make sure it’s comedy

it’s not the news or some thriller or

some action movie that’s a big mistake

if i watch a comedy by the time it’s

nine o’clock i am like ready for bed now

i know that might sound early and that’s

just me but

as long as you’re getting to bed before

11 o’clock you’ll be in much better

shape because the way these circadian

waves work is that if you miss the first

wave 90 minute wave and you go to bed

after 12 o’clock now you have to kind of

wait until that wave catches you for the

next wave so in other words if you’re

tired and you don’t go to bed and you

you push through it

and now you’re awake then you have to

wait 90 minutes before you can catch the

wave and get back into the next wave of

sleep so there’s various hormones that

are triggering sleep that are in a kind

of a wave pattern there’s a couple other

things i’m going to mention about sleep

when you go to sleep a lot of times what

keeps you up is

thinking about things right you’re

you’re solving problems

i recommend taking vitamin b1 before you

go to bed you can do it through

nutritional yeast or a b1 supplement but

that will greatly help kind of turn off

that

conversation that is going on and on

your brain a couple other really good

nutrients to take right before sleep are

vitamin d3

like 10 000 international units that is

going to help you reset your circadian

wave it’s also going to get rid of pain

if you’re trying to sleep at night and

you have pain

that’s going to inhibit your ability to

sleep also zinc before bed is a really

good thing as well now if you get up at

two o’clock in the morning

and you can’t get back to bed that means

your cortisol is too high so one thing

you do is focus on your breath make sure

that your the inhalation is the same as

the exhalation and so whether that’s

five seconds four seconds three seconds

just

make sure the timing of the inhalation

matches the exhalation you can focus on

your breath as you’re laying there as

you’re trying to get back into sleep and

pretty soon you’ll be waking up

realizing that you just

slept okay so

that’s what i would recommend and then

if you do get up at two that means you

need to focus more on your stress and

work on that i have a lot of videos on

that i’ll put some links down below if

you have that problem so if sleeping

enhances fat burning insomnia inhibits

fat burning and the number one thing

that makes you not sleep is stress

probably one of my best tips for stress

is to get outside

get in nature

and do physical work of some type some

type of productive work that you can use

your whole body and you can actually

get tired that would be something i

would highly recommend if you can’t do

that then do some type of exercise that

will counter the stress now if you have

pain i already mentioned this vitamin d

is the best remedy for pain especially

if it’s in your lower back if you have

leg cramps that means you need

electrolytes because leg cramps can keep

you up as well so any leg cramps check

out the link down below i have a very

specific video on that now the next

reason why people can’t sleep is they’re

getting up urinating several times a

night uh that means you have insulin

resistance in which case you need to go

on keto and do intermittent fasting but

the main thing with that is the snacking

late at night that is the killer

you need to stop snacking at night in

fact i wouldn’t recommend eating past 6

30 and i wouldn’t recommend drinking any

liquids past 6 30 just drink a lot of

liquids during the day but not past 6 30

that will give you plenty of time to

make sure your bladder is not filled so

you can go to bed and sleep with the

whole night it’s going to help you lose

my weight all right number two

exercise

not just any exercise but vigorous

exercise will help you burn more fat

because it’s going to increase more

growth hormone what is the term

vigorous what does that mean

it means done with force and intensity

so i wouldn’t do a little light thing

very quick you want to actually do

something high intensity a lot of force

that will cause your body to get sore

the next day so whatever that is

that’s what you need to do you see when

you exercise

you don’t burn any fat right away what

you’re doing is you’re tearing your body

down you’re stressing it out

and then in the recovery phase

when you’re sleeping is when you burn

the fat

and if you want to burn more fat you

want to do more vigorous

exercise full body intense

short duration

lots of rest

try not to over train high intensity

interval training it’s called hit is

another great uh pattern of exercise i

have videos on that i’ll put the links

down below but exercise will definitely

help you burn more fat while you’re

sleeping now one nullification that will

completely nullify your workout here you

spend you know half hour or an hour

putting all this effort in

and the last thing you want to do is to

pretty much cancel out your ability to

burn fat you want to make sure that you

don’t nullify that and

one big thing that will nullify it is

consuming

food

before during or after the workout as in

a protein energy bar as in a protein

shake as in a carbohydrate sugar shake

okay so you don’t want to consume any of

that stuff around the workout now you

can do electrolytes if there’s no sugar

but don’t do any protein amino acids

it’s not going to help you you have

enough protein in your body to repair

at night it’s not going to happen anyway

during the day so why are you going to

waste your time the purpose of exercise

is to stress the body break down

everything so you can heal the next

night or the next few days so don’t eat

anything before or after the workout

and in fact if you combine number two

exercise with number three

fasting this is the next topic

you can create some serious uh weight

loss when you’re sleeping fasting is

probably the most potent thing to help

you lose weight especially when you’re

sleeping because you can increase growth

hormone by a factor of 2 000 percent

when you’re working out you’re only

increasing growth hormone at a max of

700 percent so

fasting is way more powerful and i would

practice intermittent fasting as well as

periodic

prolonged fasting to really spike that

growth hormone so you can lose more

weight while you’re sleeping now a

couple cool things about fasting it’s

very cheap in fact it costs nothing it’s

free you’re not eating you’re going to

save a lot of money if you reduce the

frequency of meals like i’m going to

recommend

you’ll save at least 500

a month just on food

and you’ll probably have some of the

biggest health effects that you’ve ever

had in your entire life one being fat

loss but there’s a lot of other benefits

cognitive improvements improvements in

mood

decreasing risk of cancer and other

diseases but a really important thing to

combine is

to exercise while you’re fasting okay if

you can do it that would be a very good

thing but what would determine that is

if you work out

and you still can maintain the level of

intensity

without that food that means you’ve

fully adapted the fat and you should be

doing that but some people

they lose their

strength when they work out while

they’re fasting simply because they

haven’t adapted yet so that does take

some time in which case i would work out

around the meal either right before or

right after you eat when you do fasting

you stimulate something called the

parasympathetic nervous system and

another name for the parasympathetic

nervous system is

rest and

digest

you’re going to be able to feel calm

you’re going to be able to rest much

better and you’re going to be able to

burn more fat

you don’t burn fat when you’re in the

sympathetic flight or fight mode

when you’re in stress mode you don’t you

burn fat when you’re in a relaxed

state so if fasting improves fat burning

while you’re sleeping then frequent

eating is the killer

in burning fat while you’re sleeping and

it is so you don’t want to do that you

want to do intermittent fasting what

will turn off fat burning faster than

anything is carbs even a little bit of

carb also eating in general will turn

off your fat burning simply because

eating triggers insulin all right as far

as your macros go

what do you do with your carbs well i

would not count your vegetable

carbohydrates i would have big salads i

would try to count the other carbs and

make sure they’re below 20 grams per

day not per meal

but per day that’s going to be very very

important

now as far as the fat goes i would

recommend not adding additional fat to

your your diet i would only have the fat

that is with your meats okay

that means not adding additional fats

from some keto dessert

or your bulletproof coffee

or

mct oil you can put a little cream in

your coffee but don’t add additional

fats why because we’re trying to go

after weight loss and if you add

additional fats your body is going to

burn that for energy and not your own

fat reserve

so in other words keep your fat kind of

in the moderate amount

not excessive all right what about

protein

20 of your calories should be protein so

i would recommend anywhere between like

six to seven

ounces of protein per meal if you are a

female and you’re younger and you’re

smaller

maybe three ounces of protein and of

course i want to hammer this home

all it takes is a little bit of

carbohydrate to block a lot of fat

burning all it takes

is

a little snack before bedtime or a half

a glass of wine

or a handful of nuts or maybe a little

bit of ice cream before bed

to completely cancel out all the things

that you’re doing right during the day

the previous day let’s see you worked

out you ate healthy and then you had

this little

carbo snack guess what

all those great potential benefits are

nullified

unfortunately i’m sorry i’m just the

messenger okay so

next point is stress in cortisol when

cortisol goes up

your weight loss goes down

stress alone is probably equivalent to

eating sugar okay because stress

increases cortisol cortisol

another name for it is called

glucocorticoids because it helps you

regulate glucose and so if your cortisol

goes up

your fat burning goes down you have to

avoid stress some of the best things you

can do for stress like i already

mentioned would be physical

work

outside you know in nature that would be

great long walks

very very very important all right

number six there are other things you

can do to trigger

more fat burning while you’re sleeping

and this mainly is focusing in on

triggering growth hormone okay

number one niacin that’s vitamin b3 can

help you trigger growth hormone arginine

which is an amino acid can help you

trigger growth hormone and lose more

weight

zinc

increases testosterone and increasing

testosterone will then increase growth

hormone okay zinc is a good one oysters

have the most zinc red meat has zinc two

creatine from red meat also can trigger

growth hormone okay so don’t think red

meat is bad but just make sure consume a

moderate amount not high protein because

that can inhibit weight loss as well

there’s another natural thing you can

take to help increase growth hormones

called dhea this is good to take when

you’re getting older menopausal or just

over the age of 50 when your dhea is

going down because the adrenals are

weakened you can even take it as a

supplement to increase growth hormone

all right the next thing to take to help

you not just with sleep but with a

growth hormone is vitamin d vitamin d3

can help

make sure you take at least 10 000

international units all right and then

lastly we have potassium and magnesium

two powerful electrolytes that can help

calm your body allow you to get into a

restful sleep

and burn more fat potassium and

magnesium are both

natural physiological

tranquilizers they’re they calm the

nerves they help your muscles repair

very very important to take that

especially if you exercise during the

day but just make sure you don’t take

that in electrolyte form right before

you go to bed because it’s going to make

you urinate because it’s going to get

rid of excess fluid all right then

there’s two last points i want to bring

up there’s things that inhibit growth

hormone one is xenobiotics that would be

like the pesticides insecticides

herbicides fungicides

so you want to eat more organic

because all those things can stimulate

things like

estrogen and lower your growth hormone

and your testosterone and create

problems so you want to eat really clean

and if you’re on medications okay that’s

a real big blocker for growth hormone

and fat burning there are quite a few

people that just can’t lose weight

because they’re on medication i’ve done

about five thousand videos on various

topics and a lot of these topics include

overcoming health problems you can do a

search and find out the best remedies

for that all right if you haven’t seen

my video specifically on growth hormone

i put it up right here check it out
