hey guys today we’re gonna talk about the five types of people who should not be doing any man fasting now all of these groups right here should be doing healthy keto okay now when I talk about fasting I’m talking about at least like two meals a day no snacks if you’re doing three meals a day even no snacks I’m not gonna consider that in a minute fasting because you’re doing three meals okay I mean you’re avoiding snacks okay so you could maybe call that in a minute fasting but I’m not gonna classify that as intimate fasting now if you’re pregnant I recommend you do three meals a day and of course I wouldn’t recommend snacking and we want to make sure we don’t restrict the calories and make sure it’s nutrient-dense just because we want to make sure that we don’t deprive that mother of any nutrients at all okay same thing goes with nursing I don’t recommend intermittent fasting I would recommend three meals no snacks because the infant is taking a lot of nutrition from the mother we don’t want to deprive the mother of any nutrients okay number three thin people with neurodegeneration and I’m talking about if you have Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s and you’re very very frail and thin Biederman fasting that could be a problem so I would recommend three meals a day and bring the carbs down to 10 grams or a less of carbohydrate not 20 to 50 we’re gonna bring the carbs down and really force the body to run on ketones the brain cells love ketones okay and before babies okay now you’re breastfeeding your baby you’re not gonna do it like twice a day or you know you’re not gonna restrict it you’re gonna basically when that baby is hungry you feed it okay small children okay so I don’t recommend and been fasting but I also don’t recommend any type of sweets so we want to do healthy keto and alternative type sweet things because the child is growing and they demand a bit more nutrition than when we’re older okay number five if you have an eating disorder anorexia or bulimia now I did another video on this which I recommended a version of it Amanda fasting and I would explain this one point most people with eating disorders are doing a tremendous amount of carbohydrates okay so as soon as they do keto that’s going to be an instant relief and especially doing a healthy version of keto to satisfy any nutrient deficiencies right there that’s going to bring up the mood and give this individual a lot more control over their body and how they view themselves so that’s going to help and when those impulses diminish I think it would be really important to go from a three meal per day to maybe a two meal today and the big reason I’m recommending this especially for a bulimics is that it’s going to greatly improve the overall mental state the mood the support of the neurons in the brain of course if someone’s anorexic you’re not going to tell them to restrict their food but you want to start out with a healthy version of keto three meals a day no snacks okay then make a transition from there at the state where the person has less of those destructive impulses okay so the other question that people have is like what about if I’m hypoglycemic can I do in a minute fasting well what’s your alternative six meals a day that’s what caused this problem in the first place when you eat frequently you spike insulin okay so you temporarily handle the cravings in the hypoglycemia but you end up with the problem about an hour later okay so the ultimate solution is in a minute fasting done in a nice gradual way with a lot of healthy nutrient-dense foods and healthy fats what you’re going to notice is your cravings and hunger are going to go away and your blood sugars are going to stabilize it’s the way to correct this and what’s really behind this is insulin resistance okay what about anxiety is that going to be stressful to do in a minute fasting again you do a gradual you start with three meals add to go longer so you’re more satisfied add the B vitamins and potassium to help you with anxiety that alone will probably get rid of that symptom and then gradually go and Amanda fasting because your stress will go down when you join them in a fast it actually supports the adrenal gland it doesn’t worsen it it’s not an emergency State what is an emergency State for the body is this blood sugar crash up and down but you’re converting your body over to a different fuel source so it’s not an emergency next one sleep disorders well what’s interesting when you do in a minute fasting is that it supports your brain they need for sleep does go down I find a lot of people don’t need eight hours of sleep anymore even myself I can get by on maybe six hours of sleep and I am totally fine for the rest of the day also in a minute fasting and healthy keto together are really good for sleep apnea and you’re gonna lose the weight which is also going to help breathing in your back of your throat chew so it’s not contraindicated all right now what about this topic with women with hormones you hear this sometimes where oh you shouldn’t do any min fasting because it’s going to mess with the woman’s hormones it’s just the opposite think about what happens with polycystic ovarian syndrome when they have high androgens you do intimate fasting you drop insulin you drop antigens you actually really help women with polycystic ovarian syndrome then you have all the other successes with women that had infertility problems and then they do keynote and if’ and they become a lot more fertile and they have a child then you have women that had psycho problems massive heavy periods and they do this and that it levels off one of the things I notice when I hear this complaint with all my hormones are a problem I’m doing in a minute fasting well they’re doing what’s called the five and two okay which basically means five days out of the week they pretty much eat whatever they want and then they fast or they at least reduce their calories to five to six-hundred for two days okay to me that is not a healthy thing to do by the time you reduced your calories for those two days and you go right back to your you know regular eating or five days that’s gonna nullify really any results that you have I recommend doing in a minute fasting on a daily basis you do three meals than the two meals it may be even one meal per day but don’t do this right here five and two because I can see that potentially throwing off your hormones simply because you’re pretty much eating what you want for those five days and you’re not even fasting correctly for this day you’re reducing your calories so it’s kind of a unhealthy version of fasting anyways thanks for watching I’ll see in the next video hey guys real quick I
