okay so today we’re gonna talk about the

seven fasting myths okay so number one

fasting is not for everyone okay so I

disagree a version of fasting is good

for everyone but let’s say for example

you’re pregnant maybe you just do three

meals no snacks there’s nothing wrong

with that okay that’s kind of a mild

version of fasting for the average

American is just cut out the snacks

because they’re so addicted to so many

frequent meals now a small child same

thing just don’t do the snacks three

meals they’re gonna do much better from

constantly grazing and constantly

snacking between meals okay especially

if they’re eating healthy at the meal so

this is false information all right

number two not good for hypoglycemics

okay people with low blood sugar well it

is actually the exact thing you need to

do to correct low blood sugar because

when the sugar goes high insulin kicks

in if insulin is too high it’ll push the

blood sugars down so hypoglycemia in

many cases is caused by excessive

amounts of insulin well there’s two

things that reduce insulin one is

fasting the other is cutting down carbs

so when you give in to hypoglycemia by

consuming a carbohydrate you’re gonna

feel better but you’ll never correct it

you’ll make it worse over time so

fasting is really good for hypoglycemic

especially if they do healthy Kido to

actually give the right nutrients and

also do it on a gradual method you’re

not going to just jump in and then do

one meal a day you’ll gradually go into

it so it’s very very good for people

with low blood sugars number three it’s

not good for hormones like for example

your thyroid or the adrenal well it

actually is good for your hormones

you’re not starving your hormones of

nutrients when you’re fasting you’re

actually eating healthy and your body

goes into this interesting mode of

conserving nutrients okay so and also

proteins it starts to recycle nutrients

it starts to conserve nutrients and so

it’s very good for hormonal health and

the endocrine system now if you had an

autoimmune disease like Hashimoto’s for

example you have antibodies attacking

itself

seeing is one of the best things you can

do for that okay next one is well

fastening is starving so it’s really bad

for you well that’s false information

again starving is actually depriving

yourself of nutrients and you end up

with a lower state of health when you do

in a minute fasting you end up with a

higher level of health it’s not

starvation because you’re also eating in

between the fasting period okay number

five fasting makes you feel bad well it

doesn’t have to make you feel bad if you

do it correctly the real key is what

you’re eating when you’re eating so

healthy ketosis very healthy

nutrient-dense and then let your body

fast if you add more fat it’s easier to

fast now you’re going to feel bad only

if you eat poorly and you’re just eating

junk and you’re not consuming the key

nutrients to allow your body to burn fat

like potassium and B vitamins from

nutritional yeast but the goal is to

convert you from sugar burning into fat

burning in which you can run comfortably

on and feel really good long term number

six

fasting is gonna ruin my metabolism not

true what ruins your metabolism is high

levels of insulin that’s what gives you

that setpoint that you’re not able to go

below that’s what keeps you gaining more

and more and more because insulin is

kind of a switch in the presence of too

much insulin you’re not going to

actually lose any weight it’s the fat

storing hormone so it prevents you from

losing weight and so fasting lowers

insulin and it will improve your

metabolism greatly okay number seven

it’s stressful on the body it’s just the

reverse the body goes into this

interesting state of countering stress

and protecting the cells against stress

it actually has the ability to lower

oxidative stress when you’re fasting

it’s counterintuitive now you would

think if you would stop eating it would

be stressful on the body but it’s just

the opposite when you do intrument of

fasting for a period of time and you eat

it’s very very low stress in the body

and you’re actually going to burn fat

which has a lot less waste than running

your body on sugar fuel all right there

you have it the seven fasting myths

so I hope you’re coming to the keto

Health Summit coming up in October so I

want to quickly comment on what we’re

gonna do that’s different from other

conventions okay the problem with these

other conventions is they give you

information over a load okay it’s so

much data that you’re basically swimming

in a sea of information we’re going to

do things very differently we’re only

going to cover the most important things

that make a huge difference now there

are three very powerful strategies that

we’re going to be talking about at the

summit that you will not find and any of

my youtube videos number one is on

memory I’m going to be showing you

something very cool to dramatically

increase your memory and concentration

that’s going to blow you away

and number two I’m going to show you how

to increase your stress tolerance so you

are completely calm all the time alright

and number three and most importantly if

you have a slow metabolism if you’ve

dyed it for a long time and everything

is kind of just really slow I’m going to

show you how to get complete control

over your metabolism so you can

literally turn up the dial as high as

you want and control as much weight as

you want to lose and these three things

are just a tiny bit of what you’re going

to learn in the summit so click the link

below get signed up and I will see you

in October I would not want to give them

snacks I would just have three meals a

day so you can do a mild version of

fasting okay Wow

thought that I just put that there to

see if you would catch it and you did so

congratulations
