okay fat burning and dry fasting let me just remind you that this is fast training week
and in fast training week we practice news fasts we are practicing dry fasting if this is the first
video you're watching of mine go to the video before this and look at the rules of fast training
week or you can just hit companion guide put it in the comments below and my team will send you
a link that explains how to do this week we also this week all of our fast training weeks are
sponsored by LMNT which is like a faster dream and this these are incredible minerals
that will make fasting much easier because we're doing dry fasting this week I just
want to point out you wouldn't in your fasting window we wouldn't be drinking LMNT you can
break your dry fast with LMNT that would be a great idea but if you want to win a box of LMNT
go to the companion guide put companion guide there's a link in there where you can learn how to
win a box of LMNT okay there are two studies on burning fat and I want to point out again that
this is done over Ramadan fasting which means they didn't just throw one fast in this was a fast done
over 30 days okay so let's just be really clear because what I don't want to happen
is that you guys put in the comments like well I tried it for a day or two and didn't work
this is dry fasting is most effective when done repetitiously and I will say at the end
how I would use these two studies how we can apply it to our daily life so stay all the
way through so you get the application of it so here's the first study it was 43 participants
both men and women and here's what they measured body weight, BMI, body fat water, and minerals
fascinating because you'll see what we're finding is that the minerals go down right we already know
this but especially with dry fasting you're going to see minerals go down which is why we want this
week if you're playing this game with me let's make sure that we are breaking the fast with
something like LMNT so so keep that in mind but what they did is they measured all of those things
over a 28 day period and what they found was by the third week so it
took three weeks to gain some momentum all 43 participants saw improvement in BMI body fat
water content went down of course I'll explain why that happens in a moment
and the minerals went down they all went decreased in fact, it was the most significant on day
28. so remember that with Ramadan fasting what's happening is that you are drinking eating in the
morning sun comes up and then you're not doing any drinking or eating 12 hours after that sun
goes down and then you eat a meal so and that's what we're mimicking this week for
fast training week but on the 28th day they had the most significant change which I just want
to point out this is definitely something that you would want to do over several days
okay what else is interesting I just want to point this out because I don't want to be misleading
that this is like some new fabulous way to lose weight it's another tool in building a fasting
lifestyle but after four weeks they all gained the weight back okay the second study I'm going to tell
you what we learned from this this was 240 healthy adults that did ramadan fasting 158 of them were
men 82 of them were women and they fasted for 20 days and every single one of them lost weight so
okay I'm intrigued now what are we learning and I'll put those studies in the notes so you guys
who are the science geeks if you want to go check them out they'll be down in the notes
what do we learn from this well when you're not drinking water so remember that what most
of you guys are doing when you're fasting is you're drinking water when you're not drinking
water you're forcing your body to go find water to burn and the cells that have the most
water in them are fat cells so when we dry fast we are literally like putting an arrow at the fat
cell to the innate intelligence and we're saying like burn this here it is it's right here and
so it's a way to focus in fat burning you're in and it's because the body is going to search for
water along with all the other amazing things that it's going to do when you fast the second question
that I had when I looked at the study it was like well what can we learn from this you know so many
you guys want to use fasting for losing weight I think what we can learn from this is that dry
fasting is a really good variation to add in and I don't think you have to do it 30 days all the time
although if you want to just mimic what we're doing this week where you are drinking coffee
having a glass of water before the sun comes up fasting 12 hours and then at the end of the
day you are eating a ketobiotic meal if you wanted to do that for 28 days the evidence
is very clear you would lose weight and then after that 28-day period what you could do is go back to
like a 5-1-1 variation or women if you're fasting for your cycle you can go back to fasting for
your cycle so if you're struggling with weight loss this could be the one that unsticks you
that's what I see when I see this research so let me know if that's helpful if you've had great
weight loss results with dry fasting put it in the comments below so everybody can learn from it
if you want the companion guide for fast training week so you can win some free element you can
put that in the comments um and you guys know hopefully that our November reset will be coming
up at the beginning of the re of november and i teach fasting variation it's a 15 day experience
that's super cool gets everybody burning fat so if you want to be a part of that just put November
fat burner in your comments and my team will send you that link and if you want
more information on dry fasting go back to the one I did before this which is called
five reasons you'd want to dry fast and you can see more evidence more research on why dry fasting
is a really cool option to throw into your variation and stay tuned because i got more
more dry fasting videos coming to you but as always we want to mix our fasts up variation
is key and dry fasting has some incredible benefit for fat burning hope that helps
