you know when someone initially told me about fasting I really didn’t think anything of it I thought it was a fad I’m like fasting what is that going to do you’re just skipping meals it didn’t make sense to me and uh it kept coming up over and over and over again till I finally just took a look at it and once I really understood what it is it turns out that fasting especially intermittent fasting is the single best thing you could do for your health the most powerful thing you could do for weight loss it is the cure for so many problems including cancer and that is because it addresses the deeper root cause of most health problems which is insulin resistance and mitochondrial damage so wherever you’re at I’m going to show you how to transition into this as slowly and as fast as you want so what is this inin of fasting it’s not a diet it’s just a pattern of eating and not eating you’re mimicking what your body was designed to do our bodies were not developed or designed uh to have food 247 and that leads to weight gain inflammation and destruction of the brain cells and the immune system so if we reverse this thing and just eat less frequent all sorts of magical things happen at a deeper level you’re manipulating certain hormones you’re lowering your insulin which is going to help you to tap into your fat cells anytime insulin is high fat cannot be accessed you must lower insulin to tap into your fat cells and if you really understand this it’s pretty simple of how you should lose weight right you want to adjust these hormones you want to keep insulin as low as possible and then the other hormone growth hormone we want to activate that it just so happens that growth hormone gets activated with fasting and just so you know one of the best indicators to know that this is working is when your appetite goes away now think about that for a second appetite goes away isn’t that like a huge barrier to trying to stick to any program if you weren’t hungry all the time wouldn’t it be a lot easier and the answer is yes the next benefit that I personally like the most is cognitive benefits my brain works so much better when I do intermittent fasting I had no idea before how much this frequent eating was destroying my brain and keeping me in a brain fog like I felt like I had a helmet on my head all the time like this heavy like cloud and I just uh couldn’t wake up so from the brain level intermittent fasting is really awesome and this is going to help you focus help your concentration help your memory and then the other thing that this does is it raises your mood if you were depressed before if you had anxiety you’re now not going to have that anymore I’m not sure if you saw this video I’m going to put the link down below but it’s a fascinating story of this person who wanted to commit suicide okay they were extremely depressed and the way that he was going to kill himself is by starving himself to death so he goes into his room locks the door and he just lies on the bed day one he wakes up he’s still not dead day two he wakes up he’s still not dead day three he wakes up he’s feeling good he’s feeling actually no longer depressed he unlocks the door walks out and says what’s going on why do I feel so good right now I’m no I’m I’m not going to kill myself he started looking up on the Internet things about fasting and what happens when you don’t eat and he stumbled on this fasting thing and he stumbled on my website anyway he lost a lot of weight he no longer is depressed he’s no longer suicidal he’s a much happier person he has this huge success story and it all started with this miraculous fasting so fasting can help you fix your brain realize as a side note fasting is not starving that’s different starving is when your body is starting to eat up your muscle protein and different organs and you pretty much ran out of your fat see the fat on your body is there to help you survive when you are not eating okay let that sink in for a little bit when you don’t eat your body is not going to directly go after your muscle as energy it’s going to go after your fat as energy for a period of time until that’s gone then it’ll use the muscle that’s when you’re starving but what you need to know is that a lot of people have a lot of extra fat that it’s going to take a long time before you get to the muscles in fact an average person has roughly over a 100,000 calories of stored energy in their fat cells an average person that’s not overweight a 100,000 calories so just you know you’re not going to starve if you skip a couple meals but what’s really kind of funny is when someone starts fasting and they like oh my gosh am I going to be able to go this many hours without eating right and so they eat this huge meal like because they think it’s going to be their last meal but here’s the thing once you get used to it you know after a couple days it becomes easier and uh you start seeing the results and you have more confident you’re not going to starve to death emotionally you’re going to be happier number two your immune system is going to be better now I’m going to be talking about prolong fasting a little bit and what that can do that’s like uh fasting for a couple days or longer boy that can completely increase and help you generate stem cells for the immune system so you’re literally regrowing a new immune system which is fascinating the other really cool thing about fasting is you can generate this condition of autophagy autophagy means self eat so basically your body cells are cleaning up old damage cells and rejuvenating them and recycling them into new cells so it’s kind of like a garbage disposal on steroids you start cleaning everything up and then you’re generating new cells and this is why when people do fasting especially routine consistent intermittent fasting it’s definitely uh anti-aging you start looking younger your skin your joints inflammation goes down and so that’s another Point inflammation I mean think about how many diseases and conditions uh have inflammation heart disease autoimmune disease arthritis they all have inflammation all right another benefit is that when you do in minute fasting you’re going to save a lot of money on your grocery bills because you’re not eating all these snacks you’re eating less frequently and I calculated an average person could save anywhere between 100 to 300 to up to $600 a month just on eating less of these Foods now I do want to point out that this is not just about cutting calories however when you do intermittent fasting the need for food becomes less and your body becomes more efficient so you can get by on less calories your nutrient requirements are less because your body has adapted and when we talk about weight loss in a slow metabolism fasting does not slow the metabolism it repairs this thing behind the metabolism behind that set point that you might attempt to lose weight and like hit a certain plateau and you can’t get anything less on that that’s your set point and that’s controlled by insulin resistance so once you fast for a period of time you can correct that and actually lower that set point so basically you’re repairing your metabolism when you’re doing fasting because behind this slow metabolism is this insulin issue remember insulin is the key factor that determines whether you’re going to burn fat or not so we can actually lower our overall average insulin levels now the other thing that’s cool about fasting or eating less frequently is that it’s going to give you lot of extra time because you’re not constantly feeding yourself in preparing meals so that kind of cool and then also another big benefit is it gives your digestive system a chance to reset so it’s not constantly having to work 24/7 because you’re cramming all this food down your throat so you have less bloating less in
