What Is Intermittent Fasting?

What is intermittent fasting? How do you do intermittent fasting? What is intermittent fasting all about?

Coming right up.

So unless you live in a cave. You have probably heard of low carb and keto and

intermittent fasting. But what is intermittent fasting all about? Today we are going to

take a little bit closer look and really explain in detail what intermittent

fasting is. A lot of people are scared of fasting they think it is the same

thing as starving and they have been told you have to eat so so many meals a day and if you don't you

are going to crash and burn, you can't focus, you are going to get sick

and lots and lots of other nonsense. So fasting is simply when you don't eat

So you either eat or you don't eat. When you are eating you are not fasting and when you are not eating

you are fasting. It is as simple as that. And when you are eating you are triggering insulin

and insulin is a storage hormone so every

time you eat you are telling your body to store something and if you eat a lot of carbs

You are telling your body to store carbs that get converted into fat so insulin is

telling your body to store It is essentially a carb and fat storing hormone. It doesn't store fat per se

but it stores fat indirectly because when it stores carbohydrate and the

carbohydrates stores or the glycogen stores

fill up very quickly the rest gets turned into fat very quickly and insulin keeps us

from retrieving that fat. So the more insulin the food triggers and the

more often that we eat. The more we are telling our body to store and the more that we

don't eat the less we are telling it to store and the more we are giving it an opportunity to

retrieve some of that fat and some of the carbohydrates. So essentially

eating promotes insulin resistance and not eating promotes insulin sensitivity

or the opposite or insulin resistance. And why is this a big deal?

Well the reason, the biggest reason that all of these

ideas: the low carb the keto, intermittent fasting has taken off so

explosively is that people want lose weight and insulin resistance is the

primary factor responsible for obesity and

people that one thing that people really really care about there are so many

people are over weight majority of the population are significantly overweight

and finally finding a way to turn it around but

what they are really doing is they are turning around their insulin resistance and insulin

resistance is not just above weight it is about, it is also a

contributing, and you could make a strong argument for insulin resistance

where insulin being the dominant contributing factor in obesity

diabetes cardiovascular disease stroke dementia and auto immunity so

probably at least 95% of the stuff that kills people

is related to insulin resistance. So intermittent fasting is one of the most

powerful ways to reverse insulin resistance. Foods

that are high in glycemic index trigger insulin and foods that are low

in glycemic index trigger less insulin so that's why keto

is so popular. It's because it doesn't trigger so much insulin. But an even

stronger way of not triggering insulin is to not eat, so if you combine the two you aren't

necessarily have to go to go keto but you what to

go low carb because then you bring in body into a better balance that

prepares it for intermittent fasting. So you want to combine low carb with intermittent

fasting now you're attacking this insulin resistance from two

directions. Between each meal you are fasting. So if you eat breakfast at nine and

lunch at 12 and snack at three and dinner at six and

late night snack at nine you have a 3 hour fast

through out the day. And then if you have your first meal at nine and your last meal

at nine. Then presumably you don't eat during the night

you have a 12 hour fast during the night so everyone of us

is already doing intermittent fasting while we are sleeping. And most of

us are probably getting some where around 12 hours

of intermittent fasting every night. A lot of people call this a trend or a fad or

all these new fangled ideas but nothing is older

than the idea of eating low carb and doing intermittent fasting because our

ancestors did not wake up to a breakfast buffet.

there wasn't oatmeal and pancake for them to wake up to in the cave they woke up and

maybe they had some thing left over from the night before probably not. They went

out and they found something or hunted or retrieved something or produced the

food before they could eat. Our ancestors probably ate one or two

times a day and in between they might have snacked or found some berries or some nuts or

something like that but they probably did not have more than two substantial meals a day so

this is what we are designed for

doing a fast for a couple days and humans had lots and lots of defense
