Dr Mindy here and on this video we're going to talk about a new fast I've done 600 plus
videos and I've never talked about this fast and the research is showing that it's incredible
for weight loss so if you are new to my channel I just want to say welcome I'm a woman on a mission
we're going to get a million people here to my channel this year learning the art of fasting this
is how we change chronic disease so welcome hit the subscribe button hit the notification button
and those of you that share the videos I love you guys, I love this mission I love your passion for
fasting so thank you for being on this journey with me okay alternate day fasting what is that
for this video the explanation of alternate day fasting is you eat whatever you want one day
and you fast the next you're just fasting every other day and then you're making food changes
or you're choosing whatever food you want on the day you can eat and the research I'm going
to show you when you approach fasting from that angle is really compelling so first in this study
and I'll put the link in the notes below it showed that when people did the alternate day
fasting style over a three month period that they lost 13 pounds that's about six kilos
in three months and that was in comparison to people that just did intermittent fasting
so intermittent fasting to me is 13 to 15 hours without food and then you eat so in
this what they're saying is alternate day fasting is there's a whole 24 hour plus period you're not
eating but then you eat whatever you want and what they found is that you lost a tremendous amount of
weight, more weight when you did alternate day fasting compared to intermittent fasting right
a lot of us have been intermittent fasting losing weight that way this might be the next level for
you, you eat one day you fast one day you eat one day you fast one day that's the style here
so you get more weight loss they also found that it lowered blood pressure well a lot of
what we're seeing about why blood pressure comes down with fasting is because of the changes to the
microbiome I've done videos on that so go watch the videos on can fasting lower blood pressure
you also are it's better for insulin resistance so if you watch the video where I talked about all
the foods you should avoid to get yourself out of insulin resistance to help your fasting experience
and you were like oh my god I'm doing all those foods then you're going to want to do more
alternate day fasting so that we can kick you out of insulin resistance and then of course autophagy
when you're doing these alternate day fasts you are deepening the cellular cleaning that's
happening inside your cells so three month period we saw blood pressure went down insulin resistance
overcame insulin resistance better weight loss and better cellular cleaning every other day for
three months okay how do you do this fast what do you need to know it's as simple as I said
one day you're not eating next day you eat whatever you want and a lot of studies done on
this particular style of fasting show that you will start to change the way you approach food
the cravings you have so it's literally feast one day fast the next feast fast okay
is there a downside well this study showed that it long term it was a harder path to weight
loss as far as willpower because with calorie restriction you're at least eating something
but on the days you're not eating it can be a little more difficult because you're not eating
you're just drinking tea coffee and water but you're not eating so they showed that 38
of the people that did alternate day fasting dropped out of their study as compared to 29
of the people that just did calorie restriction so it's a little bit harder
okay but the results are so good the results are so compelling why would we not want to do this
and so how long would it take to overcome the hard and you can do hard by the way we all can
do hard but how long was it going to take to overcome the heart and this study tells us
it took 10 days of this every other day alternate day fasting to be able for hunger to come down for
cravings to go away and for the people in the study to start to get the groove with fasting
remember the study was done on people in a three-month time period
and so what they're saying is if you just hang in there for 10 days doing this alternate day fasting
strategy you're going to get all those benefits I talked about plus the hunger is going to go away
your food choices will change and you will start to get the groove of this alternate day fasting
so all this week I've been talking about fast that will really go after
burning fat I like these longer fasts to do that I love the 36 hour fast to help you burn more fat
I also really like what research is showing us about this alternate day fasting one day you
feast one day you fast so let me know if this is your style of fasting I know we got a lot
of fasters here so let me know if this is how you like to fast and what kind of weight loss you've
you've had with these results I'm going to put the study in the notes for those of you that are the
science geeks and as always we are launching a fat burner reset I'm going to be guiding my community
through a 15 day experience where I will teach you how to use thI'mools of fasting and how to use
the tools of refeeding and food in exercise we dive into exercise in the fat burning reset
so that you can finally lose weight for good for good like that this is we gotta end this obesity
epidemic now we gotta end chronic disease now is time and fasting is the way out so join me for
the fat burner reset just put fat burner reset in your comments and we will send you a link
but alternate day fasting there you go let's give it a try as always I hope that helps
