so all right at first i have this book out there i’m promoting the best thing to do is to eat your breakfast it’s the most important meal of the day and then i flip over to this idea where no no no that’s false information don’t eat your breakfast fast and uh now i’m flipping and recommending eating breakfast so what’s going on so just hear me out it will make sense because sometimes when you hear new information that changes the way you do things uh for the better um you know you have to be willing to at least learn about it and study about it and then maybe even try it to see if it does work better my goal is definitely not to be right about things it’s just to be more successful with things and unfortunately especially in science there are certain scientists that just they have their pet theories and boy they are not very flexible in changing their viewpoints on their theories so i think it’s a good thing so i want to share with you some information that may possibly change your mind about this as well and i’m not saying you should even do it but just hear me out you have various variables you have your diet okay and then you have fasting your pattern of fasting okay for me it’s 20 hours fasting a four-hour eating window but you also have the timing of when those patterns are so when is your first meal is it going to be at 12 noon 3 o’clock it’s going to be at night well at first i thought it really didn’t matter too much okay i thought maybe if you can you know go to bed at night you wake up you’re already fasting why would you want to eat right you just ride the wave and you go as long as you can and that seemed to work pretty good but there’s something that happened to me recently that caused me to just look at this timing a little bit closer i’d say about two weeks ago i was i ate really late and i ate a lot of protein and i did not sleep hardly at all and it got me thinking first of all protein tends to stimulate and wake the body up and of course if you eat a lot of that late at night that’s not good too so i started to do some research into this area and found this right here early time restrictive eating and there’s quite a bit of hardcore research on this basically eating earlier in the day because that aligns with your circadian rhythms a bit more which i found interesting especially since it affected my sleep so in other words the whole concept is basically do your pattern but just switch it earlier and uh don’t eat past like three o’clock but i want to share with you some of the research on this it’s pretty interesting there was better homa ir results what’s homo ir that’s a test to measure insulin resistance so basically there was improved insulin sensitivity okay so that’s that’s cool number two there’s better blood sugars now these studies that are listing down below really are not changing the diet they’re not changing the pattern of eating they’re just changing the timing of when you eat that’s it and we have better blood sugars number three there’s better or improved beta cell response that is the main cell in the pancreas that produces insulin and so it just responded better which is interesting number four you had less appetite in the evening now a lot of people graze at night so if you can just really handle that appetite at night so there’s absolutely no cravings whatsoever that can be beneficial and number five there was better insulin levels after you’re eating so when you eat the insulin should spike a certain level well there was less spiking so obviously it was better insulin control over the food that you ate number six there was more autophagy and number seven i already mentioned this it aligns with your body rhythms a bit more apparently in the evening the the genes that deal with food are more downgraded they’re supposed to be downgraded not upgraded so if you eat too late you kind of upgrade them and start activating them and because it’s part of your digestive system that’s going to kind of wake you up and affect your sleep so i found that fascinating so my pattern is 20 hours of fasting and for our eating window so i will eat at 9 a. m okay first meal second meal at one and then i’m done i will not eat anything past this now another thing that this tends to solve is this little cortisol spike at eight o’clock in the morning where a lot of people get this wave of hunger and you know always just tell people to push through it but if you did eat here and then had your next meal here and maybe even go to three o’clock and if your pattern is a little bit different it might give you more results with what you’re trying to achieve now the drawback is that if there’s a social event with other family members at dinner you know that’s going to create a problem so it does throw off your schedule and i’m not even saying that you should do this pattern all i’m saying is that it’s something to look at if maybe you want to squeeze out more results i’m going to continue to do this for a couple more weeks and so far so good but i’m not 100 sold on this quite yet i want to do this for a little bit longer to see what happens but i like the concept i like the results so far i am noticing improvement in my sleep so i just wanted to introduce you to this concept and something you may want to consider or not depending on where you’re at and your results that you’re getting and since we’re on the topic of blood sugars i recently released a video on a really cool spice that you can consume that can even take you to the next level with your blood sugar so i’m going to put that up right here check it out
