Now, today we're going to talk about doing intermittent fasting or some serious weight loss.

0:28.1

There are many magical and very cool things about intermittent fasting that you need to be aware of.

0:33.3

First of all, it's extremely cheap, in fact it's free, in fact you'll save money, it's easy and it doesn't require any effort, you're not doing something, you're just avoiding something, you're avoiding food.

0:46.1

Fasting gives you a lot of extra time, so you're not constantly cooking all day, fasting will help you live longer, it makes you smarter because it improves your cognitive function, it elevates your mood and lowers your risk for many diseases.

1:03.1

So there are a lot of benefits, there are a couple drawbacks to fasting, and the one you're going to lose a lot of weight, so that means you're going to have to spend more money on clothes.

1:11.8

So from that aspect it's going to be more expensive, and because you're not cooking all day, you're going to have a lot of extra time in your hands, so you're going to have to find something to do.

1:19.8

And because you're not spending all this extra money on food, you'll have a lot of extra money that you have to figure out what to do, and that's a problem.

1:27.8

But intermittent fasting is not a diet, it's a pattern of eating and not eating, it's putting you in the driver's seat of when you tell your body it can eat and when it needs to avoid eating.

1:41.8

I mean, if you think about it, the worst question to ask your body is, what is my body in the mood for today, you're going to get an insane answer.

1:52.8

In fact, if I ask that question right now, I probably get the answer a donut, maybe some M&Ms potato chips.

1:59.8

So many times you'll get a very unhealthy answer if you ask your body what it's in the mood for.

2:06.8

This especially applies to when your blood sugars are a problem, because if your blood sugars are too low or too high, you're going to get an insane answer.

2:16.8

So it's kind of like you being in the back seat of a car and having some insane driver drive you around, this is not a good situation because you're no longer in control.

2:26.8

And unfortunately, food has been controlling you your entire light. In fact, our whole existence revolves around food.

2:35.8

So doing it in a fasting starts to put you in control over this insanity, which is a very powerful thing for you personally with your willpower with yourself discipline and especially for your health.

2:50.8

The one thing that you need to know about in a minute fasting is that every time you eat, you trigger insulin. So insulin not only increases with sugar and carbs, but also from just eating in general.

3:04.8

So the less frequent you need, the less insulin you're going to trigger and the more benefits you're going to have.

3:11.8

So nowadays have evolved over a very long period of time to not eating because long ago food wasn't very available. So our bodies have adapted and developed all sorts of very amazing genetics for surviving without food.

3:32.8

I'm talking about survival. I'm talking about those genes that are survival genes repair genes disease genes turning off like, for example, cancer turns off when you fast. So all sorts of fascinating survival things related to your DNA get activated when you start fasting.

3:52.8

I'll show you exactly how to apply this right now. Okay, so you take an average person who's doing three meals with snacks in between meals. So they're doing three meals and three snacks like six meals. They're getting a lot of spikes of insulin through the day.

4:08.8

And their body is suffering immensely from this. So the first thing to do is to stop snacking. That's step number one. So then you just have three meals of that. And so then you do that into your comfortable. Then the next stage is to skip your breakfast or that first meal.

4:26.8

In other words, when you wake up in the morning, because you're not snacking, you're not really going to be hungry, especially if you're doing keto, but this video is not necessarily a keto. It's just about the fasting pattern and how to get into this at a nice gradual level.
