0:00.0 | Thank you. Thank you. A. So anything I say is definitely not meant to replace your medical care. |
0:36.4 | Check with your doctor before implementing any of the suggestions. On that note, we're going to dive right in. A lot of questions, and there's a lot of people in our green room. So let's over to you, Steve. Okay, absolutely. So green room for people. So we're going to get to you. But let's start off with our friends from social media, starting with |
0:55.5 | Gordy from Scotland on YouTube. Welcome. I watch your video about five-day fast. I don't think I could |
1:01.8 | go that long, but what are the benefits of fasting for one day? Huge. You should try it. I never |
1:10.5 | recommend doing five days until you work up to it. |
1:13.6 | See how you feel. What's, I think the big misconception is that you're going to be really hungry |
1:18.7 | when in fact you're eating your own fat and say you're not going to be hungry. Your blood |
1:23.9 | sugars are going to be stable. And it's like, wow, this is easier than I thought. And the benefits are amazing. So even on a one day fast, you're going to be stable and it's like wow this is easier than I |

1:45.2 | have that. But you should feel much better because you're reducing your insulin and allowing |
1:51.4 | your body to get into fat burning. Now, if you do a one day fast, and so you have to kind of |
1:59.9 | also differentiate if you're doing regular intermittent |
2:03.5 | fasting because I wouldn't go, I wouldn't do like three days or three meals a day with snacks |
2:11.1 | and then do a one-day fast once a week. Like you're not going to probably see much for that. |
2:15.5 | It's much better if you implement intermittent fasting fasting maybe two meals a day or even one meal a day and then |
2:23.0 | do a periodic you know one day where you don't eat anything so I think that |
2:29.0 | would be way more beneficial there's another fast that people do where they're |
2:33.8 | fasting on the weekends only. |
2:37.4 | So they will do, I think on the weekends they have, it's not even a true fast. It is 500 calories. |
