it's what you do in that eating window
that determines
the fat burning capabilities you have in
your fasting window
so make sure that you're eating really
high quality food
and i always say stay away from the
toxic
three
dr mindy here and on this video we are
gonna go
into another topic of fasting
troubleshooting
and that is what happens if you gain
weight
while you're fasting gosh that's
happened to a lot of our resetters
so in this video i want to show you five
things you need to think about and and
incorporate if you want to
unstick your weight and live a fasting
lifestyle and if you're new to my
channel
just welcome super happy you're here i
am a woman on a mission to teach over a
million people this year
the benefits of a fasting lifestyle and
if you haven't heard me say this before
you're living in a flippin miracle your
body
was born to heal and a fasting lifestyle
will give you
the tools to be able to achieve any
health result that you're looking for
so i want you to have the right
information and please subscribe
and as always if you love this share it
out
let's get this message out to the world
let's
take back the power with our health
let's step
out of fear because we got this
our bodies know what to do they know how
to lose weight they know how to keep the
immune system strong
we just weren't given the tools so on
this video let's dive into
why you're not losing weight while
you're fasting okay
there are five things i'm going to go
through them really fast and if you
followed me at all
you probably have heard me say some of
these and some of them are
new actually one of them the last one is
the one that i've been
really teaching my academy members and
is is that little extra step
so let's start with the first one if you
are fasting
and let's say let's use the example like
you all of a sudden come
to intermittent fasting and you're going
15 hours you do it for a couple weeks
and all of a sudden you're like well i'm
not losing any weight like
my friends said that that they lost
weight it's
possible you just haven't fasted long
enough
so you need to stick with that 15 hours
a month two months three months it may
need you got to incorporate it as a
habit
remember the goal is to go from being a
sugar burner to a fat burner you are
making a
metabolic switch and depending on how
saturated your cells are with sugar
it may take a little bit of time with
fasting to be able to make that switch
so the first thing is make sure that you
have been fasting long enough there's
one ever one other little caveat with
that
and that's that you might need to extend
your fast a little bit longer so instead
of 15
you might need to go 17 you might need
to throw in a 24 hour
my favorite one for weight loss is 36
hours
so maybe every couple weeks you throw in
a 36 hour fast
just to force some pressure we call that
a hormetic stress
where you just put some pressure on
those cells so that they go
start to realize that they're supposed
to be a fat burner so make sure that
you're fasting long enough
okay second one and this is a huge one
is remember that there's two sides of
the fat burning
equation there is making ketones and
being a fat burner we do that with
fasting
but there's also what are you eating so
look at what you're eating if you're
fasting 17 hours
every day and then you're eating a high
carb high
sugar high bad oil diet you're going to
struggle with weight loss
it's what you do in that eating window
that determines
the fat burning capabilities you have in
your fasting window
so make sure that you're eating really
high quality food
and i always say stay away from the
toxic
three which is the bad oils the high
sugar food
and the chemicals so those three will
keep you
stuck in insulin resistance it doesn't
matter how long you fast
doesn't matter how long you how many
carbs you keep down you
gotta avoid those three things so make
sure you're looking at what you're
eating
okay step number three or
troubleshooting point number three
which is are you varying your fats
remember we are
primal we were meant to come out of our
caves
and look around and go we don't have any
food let me go find some
food and go hunt food and bring back
to our village and then we're meant to
sit down
and eat so make sure
that you are very in and out of what we
call feast famine
cycling where you're eating good quality
food and you're feasting but then you're
fasting
and some days you might fast 15 hours
other days you go 36
day and a half you go 36 hours and you
want to vary your
fast my favorite variation i've
explained it here
many times on my youtube is what i call
a five
one one five days a week you
intermittent fast
one day a week you do a longer fast 24
hours is my
favorite and then one day a week you
don't fast that
is how you're now getting into this
feast famine cycling
number four possibility for you could
be that your detox pathways are closed
so
remember that the main organ we're
having an effect on when we fast is our
liver
but the liver has to push out
all of the toxins through the common
bile duct and the common bile duct
dumps it into the small intestine so the
number one
pathway to have open is your gut are you
having daily bowel movements
so if you're not in your eating window
you need to up your fiber you need to up
your polyphenol probiotic prebiotic
foods
i've done a lot of videos on that so
make sure that what that your pathway
specifically
your uh your digestive pathway is open
are you sweating maybe you need to get
into a sauna maybe you need to put on a
sw
on a sweatshirt and a hat and go out and
and
run and get some some movement and get
some sweat going
maybe you need to look at your lymph
like you know
is your lymph stagnant and you need to
get on
like a vibration plate or get into an
infrared sauna and get some
lymph movement so it's possible that
your pathways are stuck
so that's number four okay and number
five this one came
up this weekend with my resetters and
they had
so many ahas and so i wanted to bring it
to you
remember when we come to building a
fasting lifestyle we're trying to undo
most of us i should say i probably
should speak for myself here
we're trying to underdo the years of
high carb living
where we were eating all day and we're
eating all the wrong foods
and we're trying to undo that mess and
so
what we don't realize is over the years
our body has stocked away
as stored sugar and it stored it in our
fat
it stored it in our liver and it stored
it in our muscles
so when we're fasting we're trying to go
after that stored sugar
but sometimes we need to do more to
than just fasting to be able to go after
that sugar and
this is where exercise comes in but it's
not just exercise it's hit
training so hit training is where you're
taking 30 seconds
of an activity and you're going all out
so if it's a jumping jack
you're just a massive jumping jack all
as fast as you can
and then you rest for 30 seconds and
then you the next 30 seconds
maybe you run in and sprint in place or
you do squats but you
you want to have your heart rate go up
and down
that will signal to the body to release
stored sugar specifically in the liver
and in the muscles
so if you've done all the other things i
just mentioned
and you're like yeah yeah yeah i've
heard this before
guess what it's time to just do the good
old-fashioned
thing of exercise and when you exercise
all the other pieces will start to fall
into place
so those are the five things let me know
you guys we're
an amazing community here on youtube and
a lot of you are fasting experts and
some of you are brand new
so let me know if you've done any of
these five
things put it in the notes or in the
comments so the
rest of the community here can learn
from your experience
so five things make sure you're fasting
long enough
look at what you're eating vary your
fast open your detox pathways
and put on your running shoes and make
sure that you're working out
and as always you guys are amazing this
is the year
this is the year we live out of fear we
get out of fear we get into empowerment
and we fall in love with our body again
and that's what a fasting lifestyle will
do for you
so as always i hope this helped
