I REMEMBER GOOGLING IT AND WAS INTIMIDATED BY IT.G IT AND WAS
INTIMIDATED BY IT. WHEN YOU SEARCHED TWO YEARS AGO,
A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, IT WAS
MEN WITH SIX PACK OF ABCS.
THATS NOT ME.
THEN I WATCHED A DOCUMENTARY
ABOUT IT, SAW THE SCIENCE AND
STUDIES BEHIND IT AND BECAME FASCINATED.IND IT AND BECAME
FASCINATED.
>> SO YOU DONT EAT MONDAY,

I DIDNT REALIZE I WOULD BE ABLE
TO GET THROUGH THE FIRST TWO
WEEKS.
WEEKS.
I TELL ANYBODY THAT IS INTERESTED IN INTERIM FASTING,
GIVE IT TWO, THREE WEEKS.
THATS THE TIME IT TAKES TO
BUILD A NEW HABIT.
SO THE FIRST WEEK OR TWO, REALLY
IT WAS A MENTAL CHALLENGE.
NOW I LOVE IT.
I ACTUALLY LOOK FORWARD TO
FASTING.
FASTING.
AS CRAZY AS IT SOUNDS.
>> WHY?
>> I LOOK FORWARD TO HOW IT
FEELS.
WHEN YOU EAT, SOMETIMES YOU FEEL
LETHARGIC, FEEL FULL AND TIRED.
IMAGINE THE OPPOSITE FEELING.
YOU WAKE UP, FEEL ENERGIZED AND FOCUSED, MENTAL CLARITY AND YOU
FEEL GREAT.
FEEL GREAT.
THATS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO
FAST.

WHICH IS WHAT I DO, HAVING A 500
CALORIE CRUTCH IS AVAILABLE TO

ALMONDS.
IT IS TO GET YOU THROUGH THE HUNGER PAIN PERIOD.ROUGH THE
HUNGER PAIN PERIOD. >> IF YOU GO 500 CALORIES ON THE
FAST DAY, IT TRANSITIONS TO AN
EAT DAY.
EAT DAY.
>> AT THAT POINT, I TELL MY
FRIENDS AND THEIR FRIENDS, EAT

NOT A FAST DAY.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WHEN YOU
ARE DOING YOUR EAT DAYS, YOURE EATING WELL.UR EAT DAYS, YOURE

I KNOW YOUR INSIDES ARE PROBABLY
DOING AMAZING THINGS, AS WELL.
IT IS RIDICULOUSLY HARD.
YOUVE CONVERTED THIS INTO A
LIFESTYLE.
LIFESTYLE.
I THINK THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE
WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FOLLOW IT THE WAY YOU ARE.E TO FOLLOW IT
THE WAY YOU ARE. BUT THERE IS ANOTHER VARIATION
THAT WE SPOKE ABOUT.
THEY TALKED ABOUT IT IN THE "
"WALL STREETJOURNAL JOURNAL."
>> EAT FOR 12 HOURS AND NOT FOR
12 HOURS.
12 HOURS. SOUNDS MORE DOABLE.
>> WINDOW OF EATING.
IF YOU START BREAKFAST AT 8:00,
FINISH DINNER AT 8:00 IN THE
EVENING.
EVENING.
WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS, YOU CAN
SHIFT IT DEPENDING UPON YOUR SCHEDULE.DEPENDING UPON YOUR
SCHEDULE.
YOU CAN START AT 9:00 A.M. AND
END AT 9:00 P.M.
WHAT I LIKE IS MOST PEOPLE ACCESSIBLY NIBBLE IN THELE
ACCESSIBLY NIBBLE IN THE EVENING.
EVENING.
WE HAVE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THAT. THAT TAKES IT OFF THE TABLE.HAT.
THAT TAKES IT OFF THE TABLE. IT MAKES YOU MORE MINDFUL.
I THINK EVEN IF PEOPLE JUST DO
THIS AS A ONE-WEEK EXPERIMENT, A
12-HOUR EATING WINDOW DURING
EACH AND EVERY DAY, IT IS A
GREAT LEARNING CURVE.
>> DOCTOR, WEVE BEEN TOLD,
DONT SKIP BREAKFAST BECAUSE
YOUR BODY BELIEVES IT IS GOING
TO STARVATION MODE, METABOLISM
SLOWS DOWN AND YOU GAIN WEIGHT
WHEN YOU STARVE YOURSELF.
>> THERE IS A SAYING YOU SHOULD
HAVE BREAKFAST LIKE A KING.
YOUR BODY IS TRAINED TO PROCESS
THE FOOD DURING THE DAY.
YOUR BODY MAKES THE DIGESTING
ENZYMES AND HORMONES.
THEYRE TO BE OPTIMIZED IN THE
MORNING.
MORNING.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO DO THIS
SOMEHOW TO MATCH PART OF THE
MORNING.
IF YOU DO IT 7:00 OR 10:00. >> ARE YOU SLOWING DOWN YOUR
METABOLISM BY NOT EATING?
>> ABSOLUTELY NOT.
ITS BEEN SHOWN IN STUDIES THAT
IT TAKES 72 HOURS FOR YOUR
METABOLISM TO SLOW DOWN.
>> 72.
>> 72. >> IT IS A MYTH THAT NEEDS TO BE
DEMYSTIFIED.
DEMYSTIFIED.
FASTING SPEEDS UP YOUR METABOLISM BY 10%.YOUR
METABOLISM BY 10%. >> AND IT HELPS WITH THE AGING
PROCESS.
PROCESS.
SOMETHING JENNY CRAIG CANNOT PROMISE.G JENNY CRAIG CANNOT
PROMISE.
I AM INTRIGUED. WITH THE CALORIE RESTRICTIVE
THINGS GOING ON PEOPLE SWEAR BY,
AND I SAID IN THE NEW YEAR, IM
GOING TO TRY THIS.
I HAVE NOT MADE IT ONE SINGLE
DAY SO FAR.
I WAS TRYING TO DO 12 AND 12.
NOT ONE SINGLE DAY.
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK --
EVERYBODY DOES FASTING WITHOUT
REALIZING IT.
REALIZING IT.
WHEN YOU SLEEP, YOURE FASTING FOR THE EIGHT HOURS.E FASTING
FOR THE EIGHT HOURS. >> BUT YOURE ASLEEP.
>> OF MY 36 HOURS, 16 OF THE
HOURS, IM SLEEPING.
IT COUNTS AS THAT.
>> IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN IN
