Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

This is where every diet has ever failed.

This is where aging starts to speed up.

This is where you get your libido wrong is because every conversation around nutrition

has only been around what we should eat.

And what fasting is doing is I'm now and me, plus many other experts are coming to the masses

saying, why don't we talk about when we eat?

We have two energy systems, one where we create energy when we eat and one energy

system that kicks in when we're not eating. So when you, your blood sugar starts to come down,

usually around eight hours, eight, ten hours without food, you switch over into what we call

the ketogenic energy system. It's also, I like to call it the fat burning system

because it's there that your body burns fat for energy. We're like a hybrid car. And so you switch

over, you start burning fat for energy, you make something called a ketone. Ketone goes up into the brain.

It shuts off hunger. It amps up GABA, so you get a lot

calmer. And it gives you incredible mental clarity and insane energy. If you never go eight to 10 hours

without eating, you will never tap into the system. And so you never get that limitless feeling that we're all getting

from fasting. And so if all you're doing is working with the one energy system, you are

absolutely accelerating the aging process. Really? And every diet's going to fail you because

what ends up happening is you're only focused on food and that's why we're

hopping from diet to diet to diet you know this is great then this is great then this is great

so you could eat all the right foods but if you're eating it too frequently you're still going to

gain weight you could potentially still gain weight if you're if you're not taking at least
