so with that in mind let's talk about overcoming the first hurdle when we first start to fast
hunger I always feel like hunger is the elephant in the fasting room it's like what are we gonna do
when we get hungry so let me explain a scenario that I have seen hundreds of thousands of times
maybe you have been eating all day you get up you have your cup of coffee you have your your
donut your bowl of oatmeal your cereal because you were taught that breakfast was the most important
meal of the day which by the way there's no evidence of that I can't find it I've been
looking and then you were taught if you eat every couple of hours you'll speed up your metabolism
that only works when you're dealing with one macronutrient protein but for the most part eating
first thing in the morning eating every couple hours is a recipe for putting on weight so all
of a sudden you get frustrated and you're like well I want to learn how to do this differently
and you hear about intermittent fasting so you decide to intermittent fast the first couple
days you try it you got headaches you're dizzy you're hungry you're looking at your friends that
told you about fasting and you're thinking no way they have to be insane fasting must work for them
not for me and what i want to tell you is fasting works for everybody it's like sleep
sleep is healing fasting is healing so the hacks I'm going to show you here are bridges to get you
to be able to fast effortlessly and in fast like a girl I talk about six different fasts so it's
everything from a 13-hour fast all the way up to a 72-hour fast and I show women how to time that
around her hormones but what I want you to know for this video is the first place I want you to
go if you want to lose weight with fasting if you want the mental clarity that fasting can give you
all the incredible benefits is instead of eating breakfast instead of eating two hours every
couple of hours you're gonna start to think about compressing your eating window i usually recommend
you start just push your breakfast back an hour in fast like a girl i have a whole pre-reese that you
can do that will prepare you for fasting so that's coming stay tuned so you're going to go ahead and
compress your eating windows start to push your breakfast back an hour
now what do you do if you get hungry in that hour and you're like I listen to this crazy doctor on
youtube what am I doing I'm listening to a doctor on youtube why am I doing this
and you're like second guessing your fasting behavior well what the research shows
is that when we can take a fasted snack and push our fast a little longer that we still get all
the metabolic changes all the metabolic desires that we're looking for with fasting we can still
lose weight we can still bring down glucose we can still bring down insulin when we use these
fasted snacks to help as a support like in like a crutch that allows us to go longer with fasting
there's one asterisk to this and that's that the fasted stack has to be mostly fat
so what do we do well I'm going to tell you my very favorite fasted snack I say this all the
time I have I probably should invest in this company but I have no affiliation with this
company whatsoever I just love love love keto cups as a fasted snack to be able to let us go
a couple of hours longer and what's so powerful about a keto cup is it's really a hundred percent
of a fat bomb so let's say let's use an example it's ten o'clock in the morning
and you're hungry and you're trying to go to noon and you're like this is ridiculous I'm not gonna
do that grab yourself a keto cup or two because they're pure fat and eat a keto cup two things are
gonna happen it has MCT oil in it so it's going to move you into this fat-burning place a lot quicker
and when you get in there you're going to get ketones that are going to start to turn
off the hunger hormone so I have done two maybe three at times when I want to push into a longer
fast love keto cups second favorite fasted snack is nut butter now we got a couple a little bit of
an issue with nut butter because the oxalates and the lectins so I would say stay away from
almond butter but do a scoop of pecan butter or walnut butter these are going to be lower in
lectins and oxalates for those of you that have any kind of gut dysbiosis
raw is best because there's enzymes in it that are going to help you break it down
and so one scoop I've even done in a fasted window for a fasted snack I'll just do a scoop
of nut butter and maybe put a little ghee on it right on my spoon like a fat bomb
you could do that and you would not pull yourself out of a fasted state now what I'm going to hear
a lot of you say is well what about the protein for those experts out there that are watching this
what about the protein won't that pull me out of autophagy if you're new to fasting I want
you to have one goal and that goal is to get into ketosis that's it then we can go into autophagy
then we can go into dopamine reset then we can go after a lot of stored sugar but this video
is about that beginner that's trying to make that leap from eating all day into the fasting window
so a scoop of nut butter with a little bit of ghee falls into the fasted snack category
okay avocado second favorite or third favorite fasted snack you could just cut it in half put
some sea salt on it I'm a fan of Redmond sea salt that is the cleanest sea salt out
there without plastics in it so have an avocado and then push on through another couple hours
bone broth is another one warm up some bone broth and have some bone broth
pick which one now you wouldn't do all of the idea is to just do a little bit
it's not to do a full fat meal but just a little bit to be able to get yourself to that longer
couple of more hours until you have yourself an official meal so those are the fasted snacks the
last thing i'll tell you is a lot of mct oil is working really well for people in their
coffee to help them get ketones to help them move over into their their fat burning state to help
with the fat the fasting window and this fat burning window so I love MCT oil I actually
prefer it over coconut oil because you're not going to see the spike in cholesterol as much
last thing I want to tell you when you get to that point that all is for hunger but what do you
do when you get to that point where you're like detoxing because fasting is a form of detox and
your brain is kind of con full and you're you're not sure you can go much longer and you've still
done all the fasted snacks this is where I promise you and you guys that have been around with me for
a while please put it in the comments I promise you take some minerals put it in some water
adding in sodium adding in magnesium and potassium and element has done an amazing
job with some flavored minerals put it in your drink and drink that and watch how you feel

hours 48 hours you can do it because your body was meant to do it you just trained it to eat all day
now you're going to train it too fast and these are your training wheels
