Summary
Remember when breakfast was the most important meal of the day? Or so we thought. In fact, new research shows there may be benefits from skipping your avocado toast in the morning. In this week's Five Minute Friday, I will be discussing the increasingly popular Intermittent Fasting diet; its benefits, and my personal experience. Intermittent fasting has shown effective results for weight loss, benefits include improving insulin resistance, lowering cholesterol, and reducing inflammation. In my experience, I like to have a late dinner around 8 pm and have a low-calorie to a zero-calorie meal in the morning like green juice or black coffee. I 100% stand by adding my popular Simply Inulin powder and Internal Radiance Beauty Collagen to my juices because they keep me satiated until lunch. Over the course of the pandemic, I have lost 15 pounds while intermittent fasting! Can you believe it? Comment down below if you are currently on or want to try Intermittent Fasting. Just remember: There's no one-size-fits-all plan when it comes to diet and lifestyle. Obviously, consult your physician if you're thinking of beginning this diet. If you have a question about something you’d like covered on the podcast, feel free to send me a DM or email info@beautybydrkay.com and I’d be happy to respond!

| 0:00.0 | Well, hello, hello guys. You're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. K, Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon. And today on the podcast, |
| 0:22.8 | it's time for a five-minute Friday, my favorite time of the day. And I'm going to talk to you all |
| 0:27.5 | about intermittent fasting. And you guys know I've talked to you about this before, but intermittent |
| 0:34.1 | fasting has been a lifesaver for me. I've literally lost 15 pounds over the pandemic, and lots of people have gained weight. |
| 0:43.0 | But I've been so happy with this idea. |
| 0:46.2 | There is such good evidence out there that intermittent fasting can be very effective for weight loss. |
| 0:53.6 | And the benefits of intermittent fasting, it can improve your insulin resistance. |
| 0:59.2 | It can improve your long-term longevity. |
| 1:02.1 | And I also think it's so good for just your metabolic reset. |
| 1:07.2 | So if you're someone who has been gaining weight steadily and you're finding that you're not getting |
| 1:13.0 | any gains from exercise or all the different diets you've tried, just remember that intermittent |
| 1:18.4 | fasting is actually pretty easy to do. So you want to take a period of time that you're not |
| 1:24.3 | going to be eating. And it can be any period of time and any number of hours. |
| 1:29.4 | But the best thing is to not eat for at least eight to ten hours. And that's not that hard. |
| 1:34.7 | My pattern of intermittent fasting is have my dinner. I usually eat a late dinner, like around 8, 8.30 |
| 1:40.5 | in the evening. And then try not to snack or anything before bedtime and after dinner just |
| 1:47.3 | don't eat until the very next morning. So that's the easiest intermittent fasting to do. |
| 1:53.2 | 8 p.m. till 8 a.m. that's a full 12 hours for your body to do a reset. It takes 10 to 12 hours to use up the calories that are in |
| 2:03.3 | your liver stored as glycogen before a metabolic shift occurs to using your stored fat that's all |
| 2:11.0 | over your body. You want that fat to be digested down. You want those calories in your fat to be |
| 2:16.8 | utilized, but that's never going to |
| 2:18.5 | happen unless you let your tank run empty. So 10 to 12 hours is the minimum, and that itself is |
