So think of it, like you have a pet
inside of you that is like, Hey, feed me.
And I'm going to burn fat for you.
I'm going to regulate
your blood sugar for you.
Will the greatest time to feed
that little pet is after you
have been fasting for a while.
Okay.
Dr Mindy here.
And on this video, I'm going to show you
some strategic ways to break your fast
so that you can accelerate weight loss.
So all this week, I'm here giving
you guys some really cool tips on how
to use fasting to undo the pandemic.
Wait, I know this is a major issue for
a lot of you and there's beautiful ways
you can hack into your fat burning.
Systems using the tools of fasting.
And on this video, I'm going to show you
how to use the tools of breaking your fast.
So if you're new to my channel,
I just want to say welcome.
I'm a woman on a mission trying to
teach a million people this year, how
to fast, we can end chronic disease.
We can get people immune strong.
We can get people metabolically
fit for the first time by using
these principles of fasting.
So welcome.
And those of you that share these videos.
So grateful for your kind comments
and for all the good that you're
doing, sending this out into the world
where we're more powerful together.
Breaking a fast, we get this question a lot.
In fact, I think every Thursday, my
Q and A's every Thursday, probably
answer this in some variation every
Thursday when I come live to you guys.
So I want to talk about how to be very
strategic with breaking your fast especially
if you're trying to lose weight and again,
on all my videos, you're going to see that
I like to give you sort of the paradigm.
In which I'm giving you the tools so
that you don't just take the tool, but
you understand the knowledge and you
can take this information and change
the course of your health forever.
So the paradigm that I want you to
fit this into is that fasting heals.
And how you break your fast matters.
So when you are in a fasted
state, you are accelerating
you're in this fat burning system.
You're in this ketogenic energy system,
you've turned on these healing mechanisms.
Now what you do after that
will either keep those healing
mechanisms going or shut them off.
So I was actually asked this question
recently, like what if somebody is
eating the standard American diet and
they fast, are they still healing?
And the answer is yes,
actually they're still healing.
I see fasting as an incredible tool for
ending chronic disease that has been
built off the standard American diet.
But if you want to do even better
than that, Why don't you break your
fast with some strategic things.
And there are four ways I like to break
my fast and I'm gonna talk about each four
and I'll talk about which one you would
want to use for accelerating weight loss.
So my first favorite way to break
a fast, you guys have followed
me and no autophagy fasting.
I love breaking a fast with fat.
Why would you break a fast with fat?
The reason is it kills the hunger hormone,
so it'll shut off the hunger hormone.
So when you hit that moment, let's say
you say I'm going to go 17 hours to fast.
Okay.
It's 17 hours.
I'm hungry to prevent that boomerang
that can happen where you just
start shoveling food in your mouth.
You say, okay, I'm going to eat fat first.
And then I'm going to wait an
hour before I eat anything else.
If you do that little trick, you're
going to find within an hour, you're
not going to want to eat , what
you thought you might want to eat.
That, that immediate desire
to boomerang will go away.
So what does fat look like?
And this is really the hardest thing,
because we need more good little fat tricks.
And in fact, if you guys have
one, put it in the comments, cause
we're a community here on YouTube.
And I want to make sure that you're
getting resources from everybody.
So some of my favorite of course, MCT oil.
We do this in the morning and
this is the thing about fat.
It doesn't necessarily pull you out
of a fasted state, but it moves you
deeper into this ketogenic energy
system and will kill the hunger hormone.
So if you're going to do a smoothie,
maybe you're going to do a smoothie
with some like raw kefir and maybe you
put some blueberries in it, which I'll
explain why you would want to use that.
Fill that up with MCT oil.
So that you can make sure that
you're killing the hunger hormone.
The other trick is you can do
like some of the seed oils, so
go check out Andrea's seed oils.
We'll put a link in the notes.
They have some incredible
high quality seed oils.
That taste really good.
For breaking fast.
I like the five seed oil because it's
really yummy and it has all their oils.
So sometimes I'll just put it on a
tablespoon and take a couple of tablespoons.
And I find that actually it kills
the hunger and I don't really want
to to worry about eating after that.
So you might try Andreas seed oils.
In fact, if you just put seed oils
in the comments, we'll send you our
favorite link for the seed oils.
So those are two options.
I often break my fast with an avocado.
Super easy.
Just cut it in half, eat it.
Sometimes I'll do nut butters with a
little bit of ghee I literally will take
a spoon and do a nut butter and then dip
it into the ghee and eat it like that.
And oftentimes , as I'm walking out
the door to go somewhere and I don't
want to completely eat a full meal,
I'll do some heavy fat like that.
And I find I can make it
all the way until dinner.
So that's why you would
want to break it with fat.
Second thing that you can look
at is breaking it with protein.
Now, why would you want
to break it with protein?
We'll go back and watch the video.
I did this week on how we can
start to accelerate weight loss.
And when you have more muscle,
your metabolism is higher.
So if you have two versions of me here,
one that doesn't have as much, much
muscle and one that has a ton of muscle.
Then we're both sitting here.
We're both me.
This person without muscle is
not going to have as fast of a
metabolism as the person with muscle.
So we want to build muscle.
And when you're fasting, you're
stimulating autophagy many times,
which is helping to clean up the cells.
And then when you break that fast
with protein, you build up muscle.
And so you end up with a body that's
not only thin, like you would like it to
be, but you're building muscle and it's
got more of a lean muscular look, which
I think a lot of people are going for.
One of my favorite hacks with protein,
you guys can try, this is workout in
a fasted state, do a 20 minute.
A HIIT workout and then follow that up
with like some sausage or some bacon
or a hamburger just protein only.
And now you've really helped to integrate
mTOR with autophagy and you'll make
yourself stronger and look more fit.
That's protein.
Third thing that I often
break a fast with our liquids.
Now I do this because a, I got a busy day and
often I don't want to slow down B sometimes.
I don't know about you guys, but if I break
a fast with too many carbohydrates, I can
get a little sleepy, like a daylight today.
I'm doing videos all day.
I'm interviewing people on my podcast.
So I want to make sure that whatever I break
my fast with is only going to give me energy.
And the more carbs it has,
the more my energy will tank.
So I'm super grateful for Organifi products.
Not only do they taste good, but
they mix really well in water.
This is my favorite one to break
a fast with it's called red juice.
It energizes me.
So I'll just take a scoop, put it in
my water bottle, shake my water bottle
up and I'll start the slow process of
breaking my fast with the red juice.
The, the green juice I'll use some times.
If I know that I might only get one meal and
I need more greens, the goal if I want to
calm myself down and then my new favorite.
For breaking a fast it's called pure
because it has lion's mane mushroom in
it, which helps with brain cognition.
So if you want information on Organifi,
just put Organifi in the comments and
we'll send you our information on that.
So liquid's great.
Kombucha is great.
Bone broth is good.
It's my gentle way of coming out
of a fast, when I don't want to
eat a full meal and get sleepy.
Okay.
And then the last way to , look at
this is to replenish your microbiome.
So I want you to remember that
you have bacteria in your gut
that help regulate blood sugar.
So if your blood sugar is out of balance
and you're getting too much, too high
of a blood sugar, your body's gonna to
store that extra blood sugar and fat.
So the microbiome matters for
weight loss in a very big way.
So we want to make sure that we're always
taking great care of our microbiome
and the more we fast, the longer
we fast we're resetting the terrain
inside our gut and making it a great
place for new bacteria to come in.
So I do a lot of that.
sauerkrawt, Kimchi . I'll take an avocado
and put kimchi and sauerkraut on top.
And I combine that probiotic rich
with a fat that's my most common way.
I break a fast, but now you're
replenishing these good bacteria.
You're feeding these good bacteria first
that are going to help you lose weight.
So think of it like you
have a pet inside of you.
That is like, Hey, feed me.
And I'm going to burn fat for you.
I'm going to regulate
your blood sugar for you.
Well, the greatest time to feed
that little pet is after you
have been fasting for awhile.
So again, Organifi has come
up with some cool ways.
I'm totally digging.
They're balanced right now.
It's in this really cool packet.
Again, stirs really well into yogurt.
I've been putting it in a
Cocoyo is my favorite yogurt.
And then I've been adding some
harmony, which is organic hormone
builder, and it's got Maka in it.
So super energizing.
And then I'm getting
the probiotics and coconut yogurt,
plus I'm adding a probiotic.
So it's like this probiotic rush to my
gut and a thank you for the incredible
work it did while it was fasting.
So really cool hacks.
You guys like this stuff that I'm showing
you on this video and the one before.
This is not only stuff I've done for myself,
I've done for my patients, but hundreds
of thousands of recenters are using these
techniques and we're seeing the same result.
So it's really exciting.
You can lose weight with fasting.
I wanted to bring you this week,
my favorite ways to approach this.
So if this is your first video, go back
and watch the video before this one.
And again, if you're not losing
weight and you need more assistance
with this, join me in my academy.
This is where we are as
a small group of people.
We're learning from each other, right.
Supporting each other, and you
can get some deeper answers.
So just put academy in the comments and
I will make sure that you get the link and
Hey, you guys that have been watching my
videos for a long time, tell your weight
loss stories in here, please, because what
will happen is new people to my channel.
Will come and they will read that.
And it's really cool to gain inspiration.
So if you've lost weight from
fasting, put it in the notes,
let us know how much you've lost.
And as always don't give up on yourself, you
are more miraculous than you've been taught
and fasting is your door in hope it helps.
