Learn how you can lose weight with intermittent fasting.
I wanted to talk to you about intermittent fasting
because I believe it is the future of weight loss. There are a lot of
fad diets out there and all of them claim to work. The funny thing is
that they all play the science card and say that they have the facts on
their side. Yet you'll notice that each diet contradicts the next. The
problem is that you're being trained to be a consumer. I think all of
us recognize the fact that we got overweight in the first place by
consuming too much and the solution we're taught is to consume more.
They want us to eat every few hours, so we're always eating. I'm going
to talk to you about a different approach known as intermittent fasting.
I
was told all my life that I should be eating smaller meals more often
if I want to boost my metabolism and it wasn't until I sat down to look
at the facts that I realized this was stupid. Your metabolism comes off
as this esoteric item for weight loss, but it's really quite simple.
It's a measurement of how much energy (calories) is required to operate
all the cells of your body. Your body is going to need about the same
amount of calories whether you fast or eat. It's not like your cells
cease to exist.
Intermittent fasting is a great way to lose
weight because it doesn't lower your metabolism. It stays at the same
rate. The interesting thing about the diet is that you don't have to
change what you eat. You take a day or two a week to fast and that's
it. The rest of the time you can eat like you regularly eat now. Go eat
out at a restaurant or have some birthday cake because that's fine. The
fasting is where the weight loss comes from.
