today we're going to talk about three
facts you need to know about
intermittent fasting before you eat
breakfast in the morning fact number one
we are intermittently fasting every
single day it's the most natural thing
in to our body and the reason is that
fasting means not eating and when we're
sleeping we're not eating and so every
single day when we're sleeping we are
actually doing fasting we intermittently
sleep every 24 hours every day means
that we're intermittently fasting
fasting intermittent fasting is not
actually something that was invented as
a health Trend it is something that is
very natural fact number two when you're
actually fasting you're actually turning
on your
metabolism that's right intermittent
fasting helps your metabolism get
stronger and the reason is this when
you're actually eating you're putting
calories in your body your body's
metabolism uh is ready to actually
receive that those nutrients
begin storing the energy into your body
right but when you're fasting not eating
your body's like a race car it shifts
gears in order to go from food storing
energy storing mode to energy burning
mode so when you're sleeping and you're
fasting and you're not eating your
metabolism shifts into fuel burning mode
that's right when you're sleeping you're
burning fuel and one of the things it
does is it burns off those extra
calories you might have eaten during the
day and actually can burn down harmful
body fat and that's another benefit of
intermittent fasting fact number three
even though intermittent fasting is
often described as 16 hours of not
eating fasting and 8 hours of eating in
fact it's pretty hard to squeeze all
you're eating in eight hours for most
people if you got a family if you got a
job if you're actually out and about uh
traveling not that easy to squeeze all
your eating uh into eight hours however
Studies have shown that even if you fast
12 hours and eat for 12 hours which is a
much more reasonable pattern uh for
intermit and fasting you still get the
benefit you still activate your
metabolism you still burn down harmful
body fat and you still lose weight now
you do lose more weight when you
actually can fast for 16 hours but 12 12
hours is enough to actually give you a
boost and so here's how I think about 12
hours of fasting so think about it if
you eat dinner at let's say 7:00 in the
evening and most people eat dinner for
about an hour so at 8:00 you uh put your
dishes away now don't eat after you put
your dishes away all right when your
dishes go into the sink that's it no
more food and now let's say you go to
bed at 11:00 you've had 3 hours of not
eating now 11:00 let's say you go to bed
we all know that you should be sleeping
about 8 hours a day good for your immune
system good for overall Health all right
brain heart health heart health all 8
hours is good for uh is a really really
good period of rest well 8 hours from
11:00 means you're getting up at let's
say 7:00 in the morning all right so
it's 3 hours after the dishes go in the
sink plus uh 8 hours that's 11 hours now
let's say you get up at 7 all right now
rather than do what your mother told you
to do uh which is to roll out of bed and
eat breakfast right away so you can
catch the school bus to go to school
with some nutrition in your system so
your brain will function you can learn
in fact as adults we don't need to do
that so when you get up let's say at 700
in the morning here's what I do I don't
eat breakfast right away in fact I will
wait about an hour before I eat anything
all right and how do I do that well I
take my time getting ready take a shower
get dressed I might check my emails I
might read a book I might go out for a
walk it's just an hour all right and
then I might sit down and eat something
and now let's do the math from 8:00 the
evening before to 11:00 that's 3 hours
uh no don't eat no midnight snack don't
be sitting in front of the television uh
eating snacks along the way in the
evening okay now 11:00 to 7 o' in the
morning that is 8 hours now you're
talking about 3+ 8 is 11 hours I told
you get up and take your time don't eat
anything right away and now you're
adding an extra hour 3 plus 8 11 plus 1
Bingo you got your 12 hours of fasting
now during that time remember what I
told you when you're fasting your body
shifts into metabolism gear to burn down
extra calories and burn down harmful
body fat um and during that period also
reset your gut microbiome hey if you're

fasting uh 12 and 12 actually gives you
lots of benefits and although you get
more benefits if you fast for 16 hours
12 hours fasting is perfectly uh uh
reasonable in order to be able to do I'm
going to give you some bonus tips on
intermittent fasting uh when you're
going to do it no matter what how often
and how long you actually do it one
thing is that when you're fasting
intermittent fasting when you do eat one

you do is you don't overeat sometimes
when you get when you do intermittent
fasting when you fast for a longer
period of time you might be more hungry
