Fasting for Fatloss or Longevity? - 019
Manage episode 277689764 series 2824609
In episode 19 of the Anti-Aging Lifestyle I give you my take on intermittent fasting, which seems to be growing in popularity every year. But is intermittent fast right for you based on your goals? Does it help you burn more body fat? All this and more!
Some highlights from the episode:
Traditional Eating Schedule: How we grow up thinking we are suppose to eat.
Traditional Fasting: Typical done for religious or cultural reasons, not normally viewed as a part of a healthy lifestyle.
So Popular: All the celebs and stars seem to be doing it these days. Hugh Jackman, Terry Crews, Jennifer Aniston, Chris Pratt, Halle Berry, just to name a few.
Fasting Variations: 16:8, 18:6, 20:4, Circadian Rhythm, 36 hour “monk fast,” 5:2, so many variations to choose from.
Fasting Benefits: Increased autophagy, growth hormone, and longevity. Decreased inflammation, blood pressure, and bad cholesterol.
Fasting Risks: Eating disorders, hard gainers, pregnant/nursing mothers, diabetics, elderly, youth, and those that need to take medication with food.
Fasting Tips: Use the Zero app, stay hydrated, and use club soda, coffee, tea, and other drinks low in macronutrients if needed to get you through your “fast.”
Perfection Unnecessary: You can still see huge health benefits when you fast even 5 days out of the week, with 2 days of completely normal eating.
Fasting for Weight Loss: Remember for weight loss to occur, you must be in a caloric deficit. Some people will prefer to spread their food out, some will prefer to using fasting and then eat in a smaller eating window. Overall caloric deficit is all that matters for fat loss.
Fasting for Energy: Intermittent fasting can be an effective way to start your day and boost mental clarity while your insulin and blood sugar levels are stable.
Fasting for Longevity: Intermittent fasting can provide a boost to longevity by decreasing your blood pressure, inflammation, bad cholesterol, and by increasing autophagy.
I finish the episode with Tomko Tip #19 where I talk about the concept of time and how living your life with a slight sense of urgency can sometimes be a good thing.
