What is Intermittent Fasting ? Stop Over Eating

"Intermittent fasting puts you in fat burning mode , your body burns fat for fuel and short term fasting , lowers insulin and boost metabolism"


🍽Eating within a DCEW—>
daily
condensed
eating
window


*Which is simply consuming your caloric intake within a certain number of hours each day [example 11AM-6PM]instead of eating 16-18 hours a day, you can begin with a 12 hour eating window and 12 hours of fasting(can be while you’re sleeping 😊)

This definitely gives your body a rest from digesting and breaking down the foods you eat 🧘🏽‍♀️

If weight loss is a goal, it can also assist you with adhering to a caloric deficit 😊

“Assuming you're in the U.S., 70% of Americans are overweight or obese, so that means overweight is now "normal." So what used to be normal or healthy now looks too thin to many people. Eating all day is also now "normal" and even recommended by a lot of so-called experts. So skipping meals or fasting is seen as dangerous or unhealthy. Just ignorant.”

There was a time i was eating all day long because i read an article stating “eating 6 small meals per day would boost or speed up my metabolism”  which doesnt work well for my body type 🥴 All that did was make me crave more & spend more on food.  Think about it- the Food industry makes NO MONEY if we are fasting?  FASTING IS FREE! Fasting is the best most accurate method of destroying "old" and building "young. Food was constantly on my mind & taking control of my life. I was addicted to junk food and desperately needed help. 

I started researching about food addiction and stubbled on an article on fasting . At the time, i thought fasting was starving lol so i wasn’t interested. Eventually i started researching more & realized we fast everyday when we sleep. Thank goodness for sleep because I’m sure we would eat all day and night lol . I watched a few youtube videos and decided to take a solid food vacation for one week.

I took my ninadetox all natural appetite suppressant , drank green juice , coconut water, herbal teas & lime water for 7 days straight . I gave my digestive tract a break for one week. It was hard but i was determined. Of course, I lost weight, had so much energy, was regular without taking laxatives and felt like a new person. If i could do this..... intermittent fasting will be a breeze.

So for 18 hours , i fast or drink my green juice , coconut water , herbal teas & lime water . I eat one big meal (usually a salad with cooked veggies, avocado & hemp seed, I make my own dressing) between 12pm and 6pm . More on #omad “one meal per day “ in another post ....

Intermittent fasting can be considered a tool for fat loss because when you eat fewer times during the day, there’s a good chance that you’re taking in fewer calories and creating a calorie deficit

Remember " you cannot heal disease if you don't stop eating the foods that produce such disease-, Disease just means DIS-EASE. Are you currently Dis-Eased? TRY INTERMITTENT FASTING, IT WORKS.

 

WHAT IS CLEAN FASTING?

Water, Black Coffee, Plain Tea, Unflavored Mineral Water, Unflavored Seltzer

Clean fasting is when you follow an intermittent fasting protocol and ingest only water or non-caloric beverages like , mineral water, sparkling water, black coffee, and black tea. Sometimes, you’ll find information that says clean fasting must be calorie free But beverages like black coffee still contain five calories per cup. However, that few calories are negligible. 

Grey Area-  Adding Cinnamon, Lemon, Lime, Apple Cider Vinegar, Peppermint essential Oil, Other types of tea.

 

WHAT IS DIRTY FASTING?

Still works for weight loss but may affect other benefits like autophagy, HGH production.....

Dirty fasting is when you eat foods or beverages that are under 50 calories during your fasting window. Your fasting is dirty if you add a bit of creamer to your coffee, or sip on tasty bone broth; Or maybe you add zero-calorie sweeteners in your tea, or drink zero-calorie soda. 

Anything that's not black coffee, plain water, and plain tea. For example, The Gatorade has flavor in it that will spike your insulin levels and make it more difficult for you to fast.

For the additional benefits of fasting, dirty fasting does nothing, Only a real clean fast will produce those crazy results. In a way, Dirty fasting can be viewed  the same as eating.

NOT FASTING!

Flavored coffee, fruit flavored teas, diet sodas,  flavored water, natural flavors, any natural sweetener, any artificial sweetener, gun, mints, food  of any type, bone broth, coconut oil, butter, mct, cream, creamers, milk.

When living an intermittent fasting lifestyle, the real magic happens during the clean fast!
