so I want you to remember that you can still fast and get those healing responses
but when you eat this brings me to my third point when you eat you're gonna eat
Dr. Mindy here and on this video you guys asked so I got a video for you on what if you don't want to
lose any more weight fasting is such an incredible tool and I promise you many people get to this
place so if you're new to my channel I just want to say welcome hit the subscribe button hit the
notification button I am a woman on a mission to teach the world how to fast and everything
you want to know about fasting you should find here on my channel and if you don't find it
tell me what video you want that's how videos like this start to happen and those of you that
share the videos out again so grateful for you so this happens a lot much to people's disbelief
fasting is such a great tool for weight loss that there hits a point where you're like I don't want
to lose any more weight or you know maybe you're already at that point you're like I want all the
healing effects of fasting but I don't want the weight loss so that we tend to see the category of
those two people so there are three things that i really want to remind you when it comes to fasting
and those of you that are trying to not lose any weight there are a couple key things
and modifications I want you to make to your eating windows when you're eating so the first
thing that I want to talk about is that I want you to remember that fasting is a healing state
so even though you may have come to fasting for weight loss I want you to stay with fasting
because it heals your body so don't it'd be like saying to me hey Dr. Mindy I don't want to lose any
more weight and so therefore should I sleep? and it sleeping and fasting to me are the same similar
healing tools sleeping works for everybody fasting works for everybody it they are healing states so
just because you don't want to lose weight doesn't mean we can still access fasting as a healing tool
which leads me to my second point the second point is that let's look at your time fast so remember
when I approach fasting I approach it from a timed perspective so 13 to 15 hours we know is going to
start to move you over into being a fat burner it's going to bring inflammation down
it's going to start making ketones that will really help you repair neurons in your brain if
there's great studies showing its effects on reoccurrence of cancer I've talked about all those
17 hours we're stimulating autophagy 24 hours we're resetting the gut 36 hours the fat burner
one so we'll talk about that in this video in a moment 48 hours of your resetting dopamine
and 72 hours you're really rebooting your immune system so there's a lot of things
I just said that aren't weight loss dependent so I want you to remember that you can still
fast and get those healing responses but when you eat this brings me to my third point
when you eat you're gonna eat okay so this is the hardest part and this is really confusing because
when you've become this fat burner usually your hunger goes away and so we have to be very
strategic about the foods that we are advocating for you to eat and the foods that you're choosing
to break your fasts with the foods you're choosing to eat in your eating window
okay so here's the thought for you if you want to eat and build muscle then you're going to want to
increase your protein so let's say I'm at a weight that I'm like I love this weight don't want to
lose any more weight but I'd like more muscle okay so pick your fast based off of the timing
of the healing that you want maybe you want to go 17 for autophagy maybe you want to go 24 to repair
your gut so pick that timing but then when you break your fast you're going to break it with a
high protein meal and in that eating window you're going to lean into more protein so possible macros
that you might look at would be somewhere between 75 to 100 grams of protein because I know you guys
like the macros there let's say you want to build hormones you're like I am I'm a 50 year old woman
I love the weight that I'm at but I really could use some more progesterone
then what you would do is you want to make sure that you are upping your carbs that are going to
build hormones and these are your potatoes your squashes your beans your tropical fruits
your citrus fruits we've talked about those so lean more into the hormone building foods
and bring your carbohydrate macro up to about 100 to 200 grams so the real trick here is still fast
still use it as a healing tool but then when we eat we're going to eat and we're going to eat
strategically so and you're going to have to shy away from some of the lower keto stuff you have to
bring those macros up the two that I think of the most are protein and carbohydrates but it doesn't
mean when you eat you go to standard american diet that's not going to build you health doesn't mean
when you eat you go to a tub of ice cream and a box of pizza that's not going to build you health
so we want you to stay the weight you're at we want you to get the benefits of fasting but we
also want to make sure that when you're leaning into food that you're using it as a healing tool i
love this idea by the way around using fasting to build muscle so stick with me over the next couple
months because I'm going to be really bringing you a lot of thoughts that I have on how we can build
muscle I'm experiencing a lot of new techniques on myself and as I get results on myself I always
bring it to you guys so I'm excited to share those with you but if you want to know how to build more
muscle using fasting I have a video already done on that it's called how to build muscle quickly
with fasting and I talk about protein cycling I talk about how you can take your protein load days
and sandwich them around your biggest workouts so please go look at that video the other thing I
want to tell you is that if you're looking for more information on the timed fast a lot of our
community loves a cheat sheet we created called different types of fasting cheat sheet so just put
fasting cheat sheet in the notes and my team will make sure that you get a link to that's free
the other thing is that if you love this and you want to build a fasting lifestyle this is
what I'm helping people customize in my reset academy everybody has a different rhythm with
fasting everybody has a different rhythm with food what I love about building a fasting lifestyle is
you can be a vegan you can be carnivore you can do paleo you can take almost any diet and
match it to fasting and your health will thrive the only diet you might not be able to match is
standard american diet so but it is incredible when you find the groove for you how effortless
this whole experience can get so we're teaching people in the academy just put reset academy in
the comments and my staff will give you a link but as always you guys are strategies there's tweaks
let's never look at fasting as it doesn't work for me I shouldn't do it because that's like
saying sleep doesn't work for you that's like saying you should never sleep that's not right
fasting always works for the human body because you were designed to fast now let's make the
modifications that you need so that you don't drop too much weight and you keep your hormones up and
you keep building muscle and you live in the body you want to live in as always I hope that helps
