okay I’m back and we’re gonna answer the

question how long should a person fast

for okay so let’s talk about this

ideally you want to ease into this

gradually because you want to let your

body fully adapt the goal is to run your

body on fat-burning and do keto at the

same time you’re doing intermittent

fasting so you start with 12 hours which

is not too hard and then you go to 18

and let your body get used to it and

then 20 hours okay and then you’re

eating window is about 4 hours a lot of

people are doing this right here

including myself this is a really good

range and one thing I like about this is

that with 2 meals you can really easily

get most of your nutrient requirements a

bunch of people also doing one meal a

day they’re doing 23 hours they’ll eat

and then they’ll wait another 23 hours

ok if they eat in one hour and this is

also effective and the amount of

nutrient requirements are not near as

when you’re doing 3 meals or even two

meals so you actually can recycle all

these nutrients and proteins so this is

fine as well

but you just have to kind of graduate

and adapt to this right here and this

would be really good if someone wanted

to improve their metabolism if they have

stubborn weight it’s actually great for

diabetics to actually help insulin

resistance so between you know two meals

and one meal is a good option now should

you go beyond this well if you do you

have to know what the heck you’re doing

you have to have a nutritional reserve

because recently I had two different

people pass out because they did

extended fasting without building enough

reserves especially electrolytes so they

had low electrolytes one guy fell over

and passed out hit his nose another

person passed out because they didn’t

have the amount of electrolytes through

the day so they just pretty much pushed

through just drank water nothing else

and they didn’t have the nutrient

reserve that they needed to do this so I

don’t recommend going beyond 23 hours

unless you know you’re doing

and you build up your nutritional

reserves okay thanks for watching hey if
