Fasting is incredible for fat loss. It's so incredible that I've been talking about it on YouTube since 2015 back when it was a sin to skip meals. Back then almost everyone looked down on fasting because it was supposed to drastically slow down your metabolism, and cause crazy muscle loss, and there's no way you can possibly have a good workout on an empty stomach right? Well, we now know all of these statements are untrue. In fact, it turns out that simply not eating is a very effective strategy to reduce calories and burn fat. Go figure... but today I don't want to just talk about the benefits of Intermittent fasting. Instead, I want to give you the best Intermittent fasting plan to transform your body in the next few weeks. And by the end of this video, you'll know exactly how to structure the perfect plan for yourself for free.Â
So first the beauty of intermittent fasting lies in its flexibility. This means there are many ways that you can fast, and the best plan for you is going to depend on well, you of course. Your preferences for everything from meal sizes to how well you deal with hunger when skipping meals, to what times of the day you crave food more or less, all these factors determine the perfect structure for you. For example, my two favorite fasting protocols that I've been following for years are the warrior diet and Omad otherwise known as the one-meal-a-day diet. To briefly explain each of these, the warrior diet, is based on the supposed eating patterns of ancient warriors. The reason why I say supposed is because no one actually knows exactly how ancient warriors ate so a lot of it is based on how we believe hunters and gatherers would act when faced with periods of limited food availability, no refrigeration to preserve food from prior hunts, and very limited agricultural skills. So the warrior diet involves undereating for a large portion of the day.
By not eating, unlike what most people think, you can actually become significantly more productive because you won't have the same fluctuations in your blood sugar, that come from eating and digesting meals. There's a theory that having an empty stomach throughout the day helps you focus and be more productive because during prehistoric times that boost in focus would help us hunt and catch prey so that we could ultimately eat, fill our stomachs, and then rest and digest. This is why another one of the main tenets of the warrior diet is the "feasting" period that you'll have at night. You get to eat very large satisfying meals, but the catch is that you only have a 4-hour window at the end of the day to eat. For the other 20 hours of the day, you should be fasting, which means you're eating nothing, and only drinking calorie-free drinks like water, unsweetened tea, and black coffee. The warrior diet also highly encourages you to eat whole, nutrient-dense foods during the 4-hour feasting period. This includes lean proteins, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and healthy fats, meanwhile, it excludes processed and refined foods. Since whole nutrient-dense foods are naturally very filling, while also containing a very low amount of calories per gram of food, its easy to see how you can massively reduce calories with this type of plan without even counting them. Suppose you're eating real single-ingredient foods and avoiding processed foods high in sugar and oil. In that case, it's almost impossible to overeat before your stomach can't take anymore within a 4 hour period.Â
It's a very similar story with Omad, with the major difference being, that instead of having a 4-hour feeding window, you only have one hour to eat all your food for the day. This 100 percent limits you to only one meal a day, and even though I have many days where 1 hour is more than enough time to fill my stomach and be done eating, I never punish myself if I want more time and need to switch into more of a 4-hour warrior diet eating structure. That's because once again intermittent fasting is supposed to be flexible. If I'm sitting there looking at the clock over and over again trying to stuff as much food in my stomach as possible before my one hour is up, not only is it unenjoyable, but not only can it lead to binge eating as much as you can within that hour, but it can also create a sort of eating disorder. So if you're going for Omad, it's not a big deal if you want to take a break, wait an hour or two, and eat some more. This is why I put Omad and the warrior diet under one umbrella. Another thing you should know for any intermittent fasting plan is to stop worrying about the exact hour... |
