so this video is mainly for the beginner someone  that is just starting intermittent fasting i had a question recently regarding the five and two um  diet which basically is what i think is the worst intermittent fasting pattern and then  in this video i want to talk about some really good intermittent fasting patterns  now the whole purpose of this is to achieve the massive benefits of fasting without the negatives  like loss of muscle nutritional deficiencies so let’s start with the worst intermittent fasting  pattern it’s called the five and two diet it’s also called the fast diet and this is how it  works so for five days you’re gonna eat your normal foods whatever that means and then for  two days you’re gonna go on a low calorie diet 500 calories per day now to me this is not even  fasting it’s really a combination between eating junk food for five days and then for two  days you’re restricting your calories now if you’re going to do two days  each day being 500 calories and it’s keto foods you’re going to experience some  benefits but here is the big problem it takes three days to actually get into ketosis so by  the time the two days are up you barely have gotten into ketosis and if you haven’t gotten the  ketosis you’re gonna be suffering you’re going to be craving carbohydrates you’re going to be hungry  it’s going to be very very difficult but you’re going to lose some water weight initially and you  might think wow this is working it’s helping me lose weight and then you can go back to your  normal regular foods for the next five days so from my viewpoint the five and two diet is the  absolute worst all right the next worst pattern which is maybe slightly better than the five  and two is what’s called the alternative day fasting in which you would eat what you want  on one day and then the next day you do a 500 to 600 calorie diet so you go back and forth  and back and forth but remember it takes three days to get into ketosis so you really are not  even scratching the surface so you may create some benefits but number one it’s not sustainable  and you’re not going to even be close to achieving the benefits that you should be achieving so let’s  switch over to the best patterns so the 18 and six where you’re fasting for 18 hours and then you’re  eating within a six hour window so let’s say for example your first meal is at noon and your second  meal is at 6. that would be a good 18-6 pattern now if you want to achieve more benefits you go  to the 20 and 4 which i really like so your first meal is at 2 and then your second meal is at six  giving you 20 hours of benefits from fasting now if we want to take it one step further you’d want  to do one meal a day it’s called omad and a lot of people do this especially if you’re over the age  of 50 with amazing amazing benefits so if you’re new to my channel i put some links down below so  you can learn how to do this correctly because when you’re doing omad you want to make sure  that you’re definitely doing certain nutrients because if you have any potential subclinical  deficiencies going into eating one meal a day you know you could have some issues all right so  what does all this magic that happens at 18 hours or 20 hours number one you spike growth hormone  which is anti-aging number two you increase what’s called autophagy so now you’re actually tapping  into an anti-aging condition where your body is recycling old damaged proteins and you’re  starting to extend your life number three your inflammation goes down dramatically  so if you have arthritis autoimmune issues this is going to be very beneficial next one is  your immune system will start to improve so you strengthen your immune system next one is you’re  going to lose weight and i already mentioned you’re going to live longer by doing this and  the last two benefits which are quite huge is this number one your cognitive benefits your focus  your memory your concentration will do better and your mood will do better and so if you’re doing  the five and two and the alternative day fasting where you’re grouchy all the time doing the  18 and 6 or 24 or omad you’re going to be very very calm you’re going to feel serene you’re  going to feel really good so i challenge you to give it a chance try it out start with the  18-6 and just see how you do thanks for watching before you go if you have a question about a  product or you’re new to keto and you want to know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and you  need a debug because it’s not going as smooth i have a keto consultant standing by to help you this is just for the people in the us hopefully in  the future we’ll be able to answer everyone’s call but i put the number down below  so you can call and get some help
