Dr.
Mindy here.
And on this video, we're going to talk about the foods that are going to
make fasting so incredibly difficult.
So when you are eating, you want to avoid these foods so that when you're fasting,
you can get more out of your fasting life.
So, and as always, if you're new, my channel, welcome, hit the subscribe
button, the notification button.
I come live to answer your questions every week.
I'm putting out new videos for you every week.
And once a month, we fast together during fast training week.
It's a five day period where we fast together as a community.
That's what this video is a part of is the 36 hour fast.
I'm showing you guys how to fast this week in longer, extended fast, and it's pivotal that
you understand foods that make fasting hard.
And thank you to those of you that share my videos out.
We are going to change the world through fasting.
We are going to get a million people here this year so that we can end
chronic disease and end the suffering that so many people are experiencing.
So again, thank you.
Appreciate you guys.
Okay.
Are you ready?
The foods that make fasting hard.
So let's start with the first thing I've got 1, 2, 3, 4 categories of foods.
So bear with me as I go through this with you.
The first is anything that put your blood sugar on a roller coaster ride.
So these are your refined flour, refined sugars, which are your cakes, your
cookies, your pastas, your breads.
What happens is those foods, when something is highly processed and highly
refined, what it does is it will spike your blood sugar, give you a high, and
then your blood sugar will go to a low and as high as your blood sugar goes,
as, as low as your blood sugar goes.
And in that low is where you are going to get hungry.
Hungry, huh?
So we've got to get you off this roller coaster, right?
So if you're serious about going into these longer fasts, these foods have to go away.
It will make fasting more difficult.
Okay.
Second thing you're going to want to avoid is any food that makes you insulin resistance.
Well, the foods I just mentioned is one.
The second thing I want you to look at are your oils.
So we've talked about this.
I'm going to keep talking about it because the standard American diet
is packed with bad oils that are causing you to be insulin resistant.
These are your canola oils, your, your cotton seed oil, your corn
oil, your partially hydrogenated, sunflower, safflower, vegetables, soy.
Bringing every oil out there that you pretty much confined is a bad oil.
So get to know your oils, get the bad ones out and get, bring in the good ones.
The other piece that will make you insulin resistant are your fake ingredients.
So on my last video, I'm used this as a great example.
The first three ingredients are all spiking your blood sugar.
They are the refined flours, whole grain, corn, sugar, and rice flour, and corn syrup.
The first four ingredients totally go against the first thing
you're supposed to avoid to fast.
The second set of ingredients go against what makes you insulin resistant?
They're the bad oils.
Canola oil sunflower.
Then we go down into the fake ingredients, anything that says artificial, even natural
flavorings, those are fake ingredients, artificial colorings, red dye number
40, yellow dye number six, blue dye.
Number one.
Color added citric acid maleic acid.
These are chemicals they're making you overweight and they
are destroying your health.
They are what is going to make fasting difficult.
So please get out the fake ingredients.
The other thing that will make you insulin resistant is no fiber.
Okay.
Let's see how much fiber is in this trix.
Let me see if they even listed in here.
Oh, dietary fiber.
Here we go.
Of the 33 grams of carbohydrates in this particular cereal, we have one gram of fiber.
So one of the biggest challenges we have is we are not eating enough.
So when you're eating highly processed foods, you're not getting enough fiber
and that's going to make fasting harder.
And then always you're highly processed foods, which again comes
in these standard American diet junk.
Okay.
Now, third category.
This one might surprise you.
Your artificial sugars.
So this is your NutraSweet, your aspartame, your Splenda, your sucralose,
your sweet and low, your new team, your advantageous and your sweet.
Those of you that have been dieting with diet drinks that have been looking
for products that don't have sugar, but they have artificial sweeteners.
And those are making you insulin resistant and will put, make it
very difficult for you to fast.
So please get those chemical Laden sugars out the fourth category.
And this one just is where I just want to put my head down and cry.
Is your obesogens.
So these are the ones where I get so frustrated because people
are gaining weight and they don't understand why they're gaining weight.
And it's because they're eating.
These chemicals are being exposed to these chemicals.
The number one obesogens are fallates.
I just interviewed Dr.
Shauna Swan on my podcast, the Resetter podcast.
She wrote a book called countdown.
Looks like this.
And it's all about how our testosterone levels are going down.
Sperm counts are going down because of phtalates.
You're also gaining weight because of phtalates.
And so where are phtalates?
They are in your colognes.
They're in your perfumes.
They're in your air fresheners.
They're in your car fresheners.
All the fragrances are packed with phtalates second category of obesogene
want to get out or your BPA plastics.
So these are your plastic water.
Think about this for a moment that plastic water bottle that you let sit
in your car and heat up in your car, all those BPA plastics are going in there.
You pick up your bottle of water after it's been heated up.
And now you're drinking that that plastic is going in to you and making you gain
weight, making you insulin resistant and making it difficult for you to fast.
Get the plastics out, go to glass.
We got to stop the plastic.
Third obesogen is something called atrazine.
Atrazine is a weed killer for crops and it's banned in Europe.
So thank you, Europe.
I wish America would be a lot smarter with what we allow chemicals.
We allow here, but atrazine.
Is in anything that is not organic.
So it's sprayed.
I'm sure this has atrazine in it.
Anything that doesn't say organic on it has the potential for
atrazine to be sprayed on it.
It is a weed controller.
And then the last one, and this one is just, ah, it's so frustrating.
It's called organic tins and organic tins.
You can find an adhesive, so you're going to smell it in there's plastics and
you're going to find it in Marine water.
So these are your shellfish, your, your lobster, your shrimp, your
mollusks, your scallops, that are all on the bottom of the ocean.
Taking in these organotins . I found a study that showed that.
You are exposed to these organotins, the first trimester in the womb, it actually
increases your number of fat cells.
This is not okay.
These chemicals need to get out of our environment.
And as you learn to fast, as you learn to drop weight, let's vote with our
dollars and stop buying this stuff.
Go back to what nature provided us.
Go back to whole foods.
That's how we can use fasting and pair fasting to our lifestyle so
that we get the ultimate result with health that we're looking at.
So again, let me know if that's helpful.
I just rambled off a bunch of different chemicals that you might be like, whoa,
your eyes are rolling back in the back of your head, but we've got to bring this
stuff to the surface as always, if you want the companion guide for past training
week, put companion guide in there.
And if you want to join me in my next fat-burner reset.
Let me and my team guide you through a 15 day experience.
We're starting one up soon.
So just put fat burner reset in the comments and tell me your
fasting story in the comments.
I want to hear your wins.
We are going to change health through fasting because this is not okay.
Hope that helps.
