hey it’s me again listen I recently had someone who told me they were starving when they’re doing in a minute fasting so I wanted to show them and anyone else interested what I would recommend if your stomach is growling or you’re severely hungry doing this in a minute fasting okay well number one we want to cut things back you’re going too fast so if you’re at a two meal per day meal pattern go back to a three meal per day you have not graduated yet you want to do this so gradual that your body starts getting used to it okay so just add a meal all right next one you want to increase more fat with the meal fat is really the key to allow you to go longer okay so you might need to increase the fat and also make sure you’re doing enough protein some people cannot get by with three ounces they need to do six ounces some people need to do seven ounces per meal so just realize that that could be a factor but again you don’t want to go to much protein actually will stabilize your blood sugars and also it’s very important in the recovery process of building all your proteins but just kind of look at both of these we don’t want to do excessive proteins we really want a moderate amount which is about three to six ounces per meal sometimes a little bit more alright number three this is the most important reduce carbohydrates if your carbs are too high you will never ever get into ketosis not the way you get into ketosis and adapt to ketosis fat burning is by keeping the carbs low okay so these people that are doing kind of whatever they want to eat within a minute fasting a lot of those guys have a lot of problems especially fully adapting to fat burning okay so here you are burning sugar okay we want to go to fat burning you have to build enzymes so if there’s too much sugar in the bloodstream right here too much carbohydrate then the body will never fully adapt to fat burning and you won’t be in ketosis and you’re going to be suffering as you’re doing this because trying to do a intermittent fasting program when your body’s not adapted you’re not going to be able to tap into your own fat reserve so you’re constantly going high low sugar and then high when you eat and then low sugar and it’s torturous to the brain you’re gonna be irritable grouchy weak tired all right number four increase the amount of vegetables in the diet okay you need seven to ten cups why so you get two potassium and magnesium without those two minerals it’s going to be really really hard for your body to fully adapt into the state of ketosis where you’re actually burning fat consistently okay and those nutrients are also necessary to to improve insulin resistance so on the days that I don’t consume enough vegetables I can actually feel my blood Sugar’s not doing quite right okay number five apple cider vinegar this will help from two angles one is to help you get more digestion with the protein fix the stomach and secondly it actually will greatly improve your insulin situation in your blood Sugar’s so this alone will allow you to go longer without eating it’s a real simple thing I’m surprised that more people don’t do it okay number six if you’re having to snack and you absolutely have to snack do it with fat okay do it with fat don’t do it with a carb I would not do what protein do with fat that has the least response to insulin so recently I flew across the country and I didn’t have breakfast and so we flew about four and a half hour flight and pretty much both my wife and I ate nothing all day long until four o’clock you would think we’d be starving we were not starving we weren’t even hungry just a little bit hungry we did eat at that point and we are both at two meals per day but the point is that if you’re traveling and you travel a lot and you’re wondering well how am I gonna do this and how am I gonna get food it is the most awesome thing because you’re not gonna have to eat so frequent you can go and travel and not have to and do your immanent fasting and feel totally fine where all these other people are needing the snacks and they’re tired and falling asleep when you’re just going for hours and hours and you’re totally fine but you have to be able to adapt to that and it takes a little bit work and knowledge okay and also it takes about three days to get about fifty percent of your body into ketosis okay you’re not fully 100% adapted but you’re on your way and then you give it another day and it goes to maybe 70 percent adapted another day and 80 percent adapted till eventually probably a week you’re gonna be a hundred percent adapted to fat-burning now some people are gonna take longer some people a little shorter really depends on how bad your blood Sugar’s has been and how bad you had insulin resistance but the point is that give it time and in the transition do all these things that I’m talking about so you don’t have to suffer you don’t have to go through any type of feelings of starvation alright
