FASTING

“Eat when you are hungry. Sleep when you are sleepy.” - is said to be the most spiritual teaching considered, bar none, by renowned giant sages like the Dalai Lama, Thich Nhat Hanh, and old Joe Biden. [And this is when you sing Sesame Street’s “One of these things is not like the others…”]

Hi and welcome back. How’s that for reader engagement, huh?

On to the crux now…

Fasting is the most important thing you can do for your health. On the polar opposite side of things, snacking and continued eating are the two worst things you can do for your health.

Mom forced fed us as kids, not because we were hungry but because it was lunch time or dinner time. So much for the “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” mantra. Really? Do you really wake up hungry in the morning? Or, are you eating out of habit?

Here’s a helpful hack [in these days of hacking everything]: in order for you not to feel hungry for breakfast the morning after, keep your carbs down [as in 20 to 30 grams] for your lunch and dinner the day before.

Now, should you still feel that tiny tug of a feeling that you are hungry for breakfast, here’s what science has to say: the cortisol hormone peaks at 8 o’clock in the morning. Do not confuse this cortisol spike with hunger. It is nothing but a hormonal shift that you get.

The rule of thumb is “Do not eat when you are not hungry.” Simple enough?

When you fast, your body is simply eating your own fat. You are not starving it. Well, kinda… you are depriving it of sugar and carbs. And when you do this appetite goes away. You won’t feel hunger fangs anymore.

Lunch becomes your first meal of the day while dinner becomes your last. No snacking. We are trying to fix insulin resistance this way. That’s like an 18-hour window of fasting.

If you can pull this off , I shit you not, you are going to see some amazing results.… especially with your brain. You are going to grow new brain cells. Your cognitive functions, your memory, your focus, your attention, your ability to think creatively are all going to improve. Your mood will feel spectacular. You will feel happier just because your brain is healing. Your immune system is going to get stronger. You will actually grow new immune bone stem cells in your bone marrows. Inflammation goes away. You start feeling rejuvenated. You start healing faster.

The following was secretly and divinely codified and encrypted for the elect 1%. If you can decipher it, then, blessed art thou. However, if you can not… oh well, **ck ‘survival of the fittest’…

“Health and loss weight effortless. Easy super. [Day A Meal One] OMAD to then comfortable more get you as 16:8 to progress then, fast hour 12 a with begin to is fasting intermittent start to way basic most the.”

I wish you all good life!
