intermittent fasting for

serious

weight loss that’s the topic for today

now intermittent fasting is the most

important

and most magical thing you can do

for your body but the question is why

what does intermittent fasting do well

number one it actually increases your

white blood cells it strengthens your

immune system it increases stem cells

with your immune system so it can revive

and give you a new immune system if it’s

been damaged it powerfully suppresses

inflammation so if you have arthritis

bursitis tendinitis any of the itis is

those are going to go bye-bye it is a

powerful stimulator of something called

autophagy which is the recycling of old

damaged proteins your skin your hair

your nails your organs it is one of the

most powerful stimulators of growth

hormone growth hormone is all about fat

burning it’s all about anti-aging and

exercise only will increase growth

hormone by like i don’t know 750

fasting can increase growth hormone by 2

000

so why would anyone even hesitate from

doing intermittent fasting it can

increase testosterone by 180 percent it

greatly improves your mood so let’s say

you have depression or anxiety or you’re

not feeling that great you can bring

your emotions up to a whole new level so

you feel more like yourself i mean that

alone is huge

intermittent fasting helps regrow your

brain cells so your cognitive function

improve

memory concentration

focus it is very very beneficial if not

essential for people with alzheimer’s

parkinson’s dementia and the best way to

kill cancer cells in the shrink tumors

is fasting there’s so many different

epigenetic factors

in relationship to cancer one is that it

helps to recycle

old damaged mitochondria and the reason

why that’s really important is because

what causes cancer is damage within the

mitochondria so if you can recycle and

fix all the broken mitochondria you can

really not just prevent cancer but you

can help to

slow it down and so one term related to

that is not called autophagy it’s my

topogy but beyond that i think the

biggest and coolest thing that

fasting can do for someone is fix a

broken metabolism so if you have a slow

metabolism it can give you a fast

metabolism if you have this situation

where you can only lose a certain amount

because you hit this set point it can

help bust through that and help you lose

more and more because it fixes insulin

resistance

not to mention diabetes

there’s so many people studying this

right now it’s very very exciting and

the reason why intermittent fasting

becomes easier as you do it is because

your hunger completely goes away i mean

trying to do any diet if you are hungry

it’s just not going to work not having a

big appetite and definitely not craving

just makes it doable and just it makes

it easy now real quick i just wanted to

mention this amazing amazing success

story

of this guy who is completely

depressed suicidal

nothing was going right in his life and

so he decided

to commit suicide and the way he was

going to do it

was he was going to starve himself so he

went to his room laid out on his bed

and stopped eating

for three days

so you can guess what happened after the

second and third day he started feeling

better and better and he no longer had

depression he felt energy he felt better

so his plan backfired and so he got on

the internet and started searching about

fasting and he found that’s what he was

missing he found one of my videos we did

an interview and it completely changed

his life around so if you haven’t seen

that video i put a link down below

fascinating all right so now all you

need to know is exactly how to do

fasting in a very simple way i’m going

to show you a very gradual way to get

into fasting so you can go as fast or as

slow as you want but i want to make it

very very simple okay now intermittent

fasting is a pattern of eating and not

eating it’s not a diet so we want to

combine the ketogenic diet with

fasting in this video we’re primarily

going to just cover the fasting part

okay the pattern of eating all right

first thing is starting out worst case

scenario let’s say you’re doing three

meals a day and three snacks like i was

okay

and at night you’re just grazing with

chips and nuts and you just do that

until you go to sleep now realize that

every time you eat you stimulate insulin

so we have

three big spikes of insulin and then we

have also three

kind of mini spikes of insulin because

every time you eat you trigger insulin

so there is just absolutely

zero chance of losing weight with that

pattern of eating so the first thing to

do is just to eliminate the snacks

what you can actually do is change your

snacks to maybe protein or fat

and then push them to the meal

so that way they’re no longer a snack

they’re part of the meal so the first

step is doing three meals

no snacks now just to make it easier on

yourself you want to add more fat to the

meal to be more satisfied so you can go

longer the goal at this stage is to

start to reduce insulin

and to go longer in between meals that’s

your goal because snacking

is deadly now of course if you cut out

the carbs the same time it’s going to

make it easier because

carbs drop your blood sugars and then

now you’re going to be hungry so if you

combine quito with this it’s going to be

really easy all right so we go in the

first stage three meals no snacks you do

that for a few days and what’s gonna

happen is you’re gonna wake up in the

morning you’re not gonna be hungry

anymore and so if you’re not hungry

just don’t

eat you might want to write that on your

refrigerator it’s very very important

because we don’t want to eat out of

habit or schedule we want to eat when

our bodies are telling us to eat and so

if you’re not hungry guess what your

body is eating but it’s eating your own

fat and that is the goal so don’t screw

it up by eating and then also now you’re

hungry an hour and a half later so the

most important thing at this next phase

is to

take your breakfast and keep pushing it

more towards your lunch to the point

where it becomes your lunch okay so

we’re just combining our breakfast and

lunch together and a lot of times my

first meal is my breakfast i’ll have

eggs or bacon avocado now you can also

do the

bulletproof coffee just to make it

easier but i find this stage goes pretty

quick you might even be able to jump

into this within the next day because as

soon as you start reducing the frequency

of eating your hunger goes down because

we start making the switch from burning

sugar to burning fat all right so we got

rid of our snacks

we’re doing three meals a day we’re

adding fat to the meal

and then we’re going to skip breakfast

now we’re at two meals per day so let’s

say for example you eat at noon and then

that’s six

that gives you

a fasting pattern of 16 hours okay of

fasting with an eight hour eating window

now when i mention the eating window you

probably are going to be fasting through

that window as well we could add those

hours but for this example we’re not

going to add those hours we’re only

going to count the point where the last

meal is and then all the way to the next

day to the first meal okay so that

pattern is sixteen and eight and for

convenience you can do twelve and six

you can do eating at one pm to seven or

two to eight

depending on what your schedule is you

can adjust that all right so now you’re

at 16 8 you’re going to start to see

some amazing results okay the best way

you know it’s working is your appetite

goes away okay that’s the most important

indicator

not weight loss not even energy

all right if you want to see more

results we bring it to the next stage

and if you can look below in this chart

you’re still doing two meals but you’re

gonna take these two meals and start

squishing them together okay

so this is where i am at now okay so

i’ll do two meals and they’re within a

four hour eating window so that gives me

20 hours of fasting that’s huge

if you can do 20 hours of fasting you’re

gonna see

amazing benefits not just with your

weight with your cognitive function with

your immune system your body even starts

making more antioxidants

your stress goes down i mean it’s just

very remarkable all right so at this

stage your pattern is 20 and four and

let’s say your meals were between 12

noon and 4

or 1 and 5

or 2 and 6 so just adjust that to your

schedule all right so this is where a

good amount of people pretty much stay

at this level but let’s say

you want to take it to the next level

okay and

let’s say you’re over the age of 50 like

i am i’m 56

and you have a slow metabolism and you

want to have more

i don’t know improvement with your brain

for example you want to have less

inflammation with your joints you want

to have a better immune system you want

to speed up the loss of belly fat this

is what you do you go to what’s called

omad one meal a day that gives you a

pattern of 23 hours of fasting and one

hour of eating now with this meal you

want it very large you want to make sure

it’s nutrient dense but realize that all

the nutritional requirements

actually go down when you do one a meal

a day your body adjusts and so you don’t

actually need the quantity of nutrients

because your body becomes very very

efficient and at this stage i always

have to remind people don’t eat if

you’re not hungry okay just ride the

wave

for some people who are who have a lot

of fat to lose

and they have a slow metabolism

sometimes they’re not even hungry in a

given day so what i will tell them is

just go another day fast as long as you

can and some people fast for three days

and they lose a ton of weight and they

feel great so i have a lot of videos on

making this transition but in this video

let’s just stop at one meal a day if you

add exercise to this

it’s going to be even more deadly

powerful but i just wanted to give you

the overview the picture on how it goes

and you can plug in wherever you want to

plug in go at your own pace make it

easier in yourself but i really want you

to get started so you can personally

experience this for yourself and before

you get started i have some details

about fasting that you need to know

about i put those up right here check
