so today we’re going to talk about the worst type of fasting that you could do

there’s actually two different uh patterns i want to touch on

the first one is the alternate day fasting

where you fast for one day and the next day you pretty much eat whatever you

want and there’s also a modified version of

that on the day that you’re fasting you’re actually consuming about 500

calories then you have what’s called the five and

two where you’re eating whatever you want for five days and then for two days

you’re gonna fast but this program also allows you to have about 500 calories in

the days that you’re fasting so it’s not a true fast and the

question is why are these two patterns of fasting

bad and not recommended well it’s because of this

it takes three to seven days for you to get into

ketosis okay i mean like really get into it where you’re about 80

to 90 percent burning ketones and doing it one day is just not enough

time to get into ketosis with this one you’re pretty much eating

whatever you want for five days and then two days out of the week you’re doing

fasting and of course if you’re doing 500 calories you’re not really fasting

you’re just doing a low calorie diet you’re not going to be able to generate

enough ketones for your brain to actually feel good

so you’re going to be miserable you’re going to be hungry

you’re definitely going to have cravings to carbs

and you’re going to be grouchy all the time and you’re probably going to give

up and then say that it didn’t work when in

fact it would work if you did maybe 18 and 6

where you’re fasting for 18 hours and then you have a six hour

window of eating so let’s say at 12 o’clock noon you had

your first meal and then at six o’clock at night you had

your second meal this would give you 18 hours of fasting

and you would really benefit from this because your hunger would go away

you wouldn’t crave anything and your mood would be great you would not be

grouching a slightly better fasting pattern if you

can do it which you may need to work up to it would be 20 and four

so you’re fasting for 20 hours and you have a four hour window

and this is pretty much what i do my first meal is about three in the

afternoon and the second meal is at about seven

that gives me 20 hours of fasting and this produces

some seriously good benefits especially

getting rid of your hunger in fact even before my first meal

there’s absolutely no hunger involved in fact it

feels like i just ate because i’m living off my own fat

i have absolutely zero cravings and i am definitely not grouchy you can

ask my wife there’s actually two important takeaways

from this not only knowing this information right

here but also this information right here all

it takes is a small amount of carbs to knock you out of ketosis for a good

amount of time so if you were to consume for example a

sandwich or a glass of wine that amount of

carbohydrate could knock you out of ketosis

for literally 48 hours if you want to avoid being miserable doing your fasting

just avoid these two methods i put up the right method
