In a recent study in the Journal of Physiology, it indicated that performing exercise in a fasted state with a low glycemic post workout meal (or shake) promotes fat loss as well as muscle gain.
Feed your muscles with quality whey protein concentrate after exercise derived from grass fed cows that is ideally cold processed.
adding coconut oil to your whey protein.
40% of the U.S. population is insulin resistant.
According to a study out of the Journal of Laboratory and Clinical Medicine, people lost 4-7% of their waist circumference from intermittent fasting.
Apart from exercise, intermittent fasting is the most powerful natural insulin sensitizer known.
In the study out of the International Journal of Obesity, Mattson and his colleagues found that intermittent fasting was effective at reducing inflammation, improving metabolic disease markers and reducing insulin resistance.
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Journal of Applied Physiology, and The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry also showed a significant reduction in insulin resistance by intermittent fasting.
people who are insulin resistant have a 93% greater risk for developing heart disease, the leading cause of death in the world. The other diseases linked to insulin resistance includes liver disease, polycystic ovarian syndrome, Alzheimer’s disease, and cancer.
When we take a break from constantly feeding our body, our blood sugar begins to normalize.
Leptin is a hormone made by your fat cells that is responsible for reducing hunger.
Low leptin levels lead to an increase in hunger and a decrease in metabolic rate. High leptin leads to a decrease in hunger and an increase in metabolic rate.
A big key to preventing and reversing leptin resistant is abiding by a diet that keeps
International Journal of Obesity found that intermittent fasting was affective at reducing leptin hormone and improving leptin resistance. In addition, it fights inflammation and lowers triglycerides.
It is critical to limit the amount of fructose and processed carbohydrates when resetting your leptin levels.
you also want to avoid unstable polyunsaturated oils like walnut, flax, and peanut oil.
Ghrelin is known as your body’s hunger hormone.
Glucose can be metabolized by all of the tissues in our body, where fructose can only be metabolized by your liver.
Fructose, on the other hand, turns into free fatty acids, VLDL (the worst type of cholesterol), and triglycerides, which get stored as fat.
Under normal conditions, when you eat 120 calories of glucose, less than one calorie is stored as fat. When you eat 120 calories of fructose, nearly 40 of those calories are stored as fat.
This means that consuming fructose gives you more of a tendency to eat way too much because the brain isn’t getting the proper signals to stop eating. Fructose also doesn’t stimulate the satiety centers in the brain the same way as glucose, leading to reduced satiety, leaving you feeling hungry and unsatisfied.
Even though fructose and glucose have the same structure, fructose has much more negative effects on hormones, appetite, and metabolic health.
20 randomized controlled trials comparing low-carb and low-fat diets all come to the same conclusion: low carb diets lead to more weight loss.
work out in a fasted state, preferably before your first meal of the day. This will allow you to workout when ghrelin levels are at its peak, taking advantage of the elevated growth hormone levels.
Stress, anger, sadness, and other negative emotions also alter these hunger hormones,
A wide range of health problems, including, but not limited to, heart disease, stroke, obesity, migraines, cancer, chronic pain, thyroid issues, diabetes, dental issues, ADD/ADHD, peripheral neuropathy, and autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, and rheumatoid arthritis are all rooted in chronic inflammation.
Things that increase this harmful type of inflammation include chronically eating an unhealthy omega-3 to omega-6 ratio and consuming too much sugar.
Omega-6 fatty acids are inflammatory,
Free Radical Biology and Medicine also revealed that oxidative stress and inflammation declined in response to intermittent fasting.
cholesterol-lowering drugs are the most commonly prescribed medication in the United States.
In the journal Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, they showed that intermittent fasting for four months significantly reduced oxidative stress and free radical damage.
One person out of three will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives. In the early 1900’s, 1 in 20 people developed cancer In the 1940’s, 1 in 16 people developed cancer In the 1970’s, 1 in 10 people developed cancer Today, a whopping 1 in 3 develop cancer!
In the Journal of the American Medical Association, Harvard and Dartmouth analyzed 10 years’ worth of mammogram screenings, breast cancer diagnoses and deaths from 550 counties across America involving 16 million women. Conclusion: no evidence that getting a mammogram will add a day to your life.
According to the Cochrane Database, mammograms do not reduce the overall risk of dying, or the overall risk of dying from cancer. Women who get their recommended frequency of mammograms do not live longer than women who do not get mammograms.
Just watch the documentary film, “Cancer: Forbidden Cures.”
Just look into Dr. Burzynski and the Burzynski Clinic. This brave doctor and scientist invented some of the best cancer treatments and cures in the world, backed with randomized controlled clinical trials. This seems like great news, but there is one problem. The FDA is trying to stand in his way and block these treatments from being used and put on the market.
it. I truly believe you can virtually eliminate the risk of cancer and chronic disease by changing your lifestyle
the most powerful strategy out there to avoid or treat cancer is to starve your cancer cells by depriving them of their only food source – sugar.
Cancer cells, on the other hand, do not express that metabolic flexibility and are only able to use sugar as an energy source.
A man by the name of Dr. Otto Warburg was actually given the Nobel Prize in Physiology for this discovery over 75 years ago, and still virtually no oncologist actually uses this information!
Depriving your body of sugar by incorporating a ketogenic diet, especially when combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, is highly recommended as it will starve cancer cells.
Thomas Seyfried, Ph.D., who is the leader in treating cancer nutritionally: “Calorie restriction and restricted ketogenic diets, which reduce circulating glucose levels and elevate ketone levels, are anti-invasive, anti antiogenic, and pro-apoptotic towards malignant brain cancer.”
Cancer cells need glucose to thrive. Cutting carbs from your diet reduces glucose levels in the blood, therefore literally starving your cancer cells.
fasting can also kill the cancer cells!
“These studies suggest that multiple cycles of fasting promote differential stress sensitization in a wide range of tumors and could potentially replace or augment the efficacy of certain chemotherapy drugs in the treatment of various cancers.”
Intermittent fasting has been shown to starve cancer cells while simultaneously protecting cells from chemotherapy toxicity!
In the journal Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, they did a study that investigated the role of eating patterns on the prevention of age-related disorders. They showed that intermittent fasting for four months significantly reduced the incidence of lymphoma.
Intermittent fasting actually blocked the development of precancerous cells in the body, preventing cancer formation!
To be effective, the length of your daily fast must be at least 16 hours for men and around 14 hours for women.
Therefore, your daily eating window would be a maximum of 8 hours for males and 10 hours for females.
