Cell Metabolism says that the best eating window the best time period is eight to ten
hours in a day and you become metabolically immune from any diet any poor diet giving
your body more time for rest then your metabolism is going to be higher
higher than if you eat that same meal throughout a longer period of time

much okay it's fast training week so if you're not familiar with fast training week we take five days
out of the month and we practice new fasts this fast training week I'm
really focused on metabolism what is metabolism how do we use fasting to speed up our metabolism
what should we break our fast with so we can get a better metabolic result I'm going to answer all
these questions over the next six videos so I'm really excited to share it with this with you

so if you we give away element gives away five boxes every day during fast training weeks so if
you want to win a free box you're gonna want the companion guide all the information I'm
gonna teach you over the next six videos is in the companion guide it's free so just put
companion guide in the notes are in your comments and my team will make sure that you get one
okay let's just dive right into it so first I've been I've been dying to do this video for you guys
because so many people have a misunderstanding about what your flippin metabolism is
and so let's start here what is your metabolism when people will come into my office all
the time and be like I think my metabolism is slow what does that mean what is that metabolism
so here we're going to make it really simple when we talk about metabolism I want your brain to
translate that into how is my body making energy right now and there are only two ways that your
body will make energy one is from sugar and one is from fat so i've talked about this at nauseum
here on this station so please go back and watch all those videos if that's a new concept for you
so the first thing we've got to realize is that if we're going to speed up our metabolism
we have to use both of these energy systems to our advantage when we're eating we're
sugar burners when we're fasting we're fat burners so the first thing you want to do
if you want to have a faster metabolism is know how to go in and out of these two systems if this
is brand new to you I'm teaching this in extreme detail in my academy just put reset academy in the
comments my team will send you a link for that there's an art to this switching in and out and
we all have a little different way we are going to want to approach that so in my academy I'm
teaching that now here's what I want you to know right now is that if all you've ever done is diet
you tried to restrict your calories you try to take foods out of your life I want
to give you the power back and tell you that the reason you failed at diets is not you it's because
diets fail and it's not your fault it's the diet's fault because when we look at dieting all we've
done is try to manipulate the sugar burner system so when we come to fasting we're now going into
the fat burner system and we're gonna learn how to switch in and out of these two systems over
the next six videos so you can finally get your metabolism as high as you possibly can so you can
start to burn fat but you got to work with both systems okay so that's the step number one so
step number two is how do we use fasting to get this metabolism to speed up we want a high
metabolism so how do we get it to speed up so the first thing you're going to do is you're going to
learn to compress your eating window so if this is new to you then what I'm going to tell you is that
there is an art to how you approach fasting and it starts by taking all the food you eat
and compressing it into a short time period for this fast training week stay tuned because
I'm going to tell you what that eating window is going to look like so when we put our food in one
small little eating period we leave an elongated period in our 24 hours for fasting and it's this
longer fasting period where our metabolism speeds up now once we've got this art of this condensed
eating window then now we've got to learn how to switch in and out of food and fasting
so let's dive into the science I love the science cell metabolism says that the best eating window
the best time period is eight to ten hours in a day and you become metabolically immune from any
diet any poor diet so high fat high sugar western diet as long as you're eating that in an eight to
ten hour window giving your body more time for rest then your metabolism is going to be higher
higher than if you eat that same meal throughout a longer period of time 12, 14 hours in a day
so this is really exciting so to answer the question of this video can fasting speed up your
metabolism the answer is heck yeah I can but what we've got to do is we've got to learn how
to go in and out of food and in and out of fasting we've got to take our eating window and start to
compress it okay so those are the rules here so for the next week for fast training week what we
are going to do is I've gamified this for you so if you're doing this with us live
awesome I'm really excited to be on this journey with you if you're watching this video after maybe
it's been you know months since we've done fast training week you can still do it on your own
and here's the game here's the way we're going to play the game ready okay rules for fast training
week you're going to fast for 16 hours we're going to model what I call or what the world of fasting
calls 16:8 you fast for 16 hours and your eating window is eight hours so that windows that's up
to you maybe you are gonna eat breakfast at ten and you're gonna finish at six o'clock at night
there's your eight hour eating window and the rest of the time you're gonna fast so we are actually
mimicking one of the most famous fasting studies that was done in cell metabolism okay next thing
I want you to know for fast training week is with this eight hour eating window we are not gonna eat
in the morning we're gonna make sure we are not eating first thing in the morning and we're gonna
make sure that we are not eating two hours before you go to bed nothing no drink no wine no beer no
alcohol no dessert nothing so you are gonna finish putting anything in your mouth two hours before
bedtime it's part of the rules of fast training week so ready and all of this by the way is in the
companion guide so free companion guide just put companion guide it's all written out for you next
when you are eating in that eight hour eating window you are only eating three meals a day
so a lot of you guys who are avid faster may be looking at this going well that's not that
big of a deal but I'm taking it's like I want to take you and put you in the cell metabolism study
so that we can watch how this magic metabolic magic works in your body so even if you can
knock out a three-day water fast like nobody's business then I still want you to try this because
sometimes going in and out of these fast really speeds up the metabolism and gets it much higher
okay so then you're gonna eat three meals a day in your eating window next thing when you break your
fast you're gonna break it with protein that's part of the game for fast trading week this week
so you can break it with eggs you can do a protein shake you can do uh you can do a sausage you can
whatever you're going to break it with protein now i know you're going to ask me what's up protein
only mostly protein I want that meal to be 90 protein so you can put a few little vegetables
maybe a little fat but I want you to understand the power of protein okay the other rule to the
food you eat during this time is no refined carbs no refined sugars no chemical ingredients and no
bad oils i'll list all those out on the companion guide so you're going to want to get the companion
guide so just put companion guide in there and then the last rule of this fast training week i'm
just going to say it again is you are not going to eat two hours before you go to bed and you're not
going to eat the first hour you get up now I give you the ten to six hour window but it's really
up to you you can you know you can make take that eight hours and move it around maybe you wanna do
eight in the morning and finish eating at four that's a really good weight loss window
maybe you want to go 12 eat start your first meal at 12 and finish at 8. you get to decide what you
want to do on that but it's an 8 hour window 16 hour fast 3 meals within that no snacks
you're going to break that first meal has to be protein 90 of that meal is protein and we're not
we're going to mine those melatonin moments so that we can make you more insulin sensitive so
let me know are you excited about that and by the way we've been doing fast training weeks
so many years I think it's been about two years now I want to know how many fast training weeks
you have done so put it in the notes how many fast training weeks I do them once a month
it's a free service to you guys so I want to know how many you've done I love your guys comments I
love seeing how engaged you are in this process and again if you need the companion guide go there
if you need more help with this sugar burner fat burner come to the reset academy last thing if you
want to dive into this information more I have a great video out that's called seven ways your
metabolism is affected by your gut microbiome my team will put a link there so as always you are
a metabolic miracle fasting is going to show you how so I'm excited for fast training week
