  there's a few things I'm passionate about one of the things is trying to help people get to where they need to be with regard to fitness now I'm still on my journey I will always be on my journey I still have things that I have to work on and these things are like food addiction getting carried away that still happens but it happens a lot less frequently and I guess that was kind of the trick moving through so if you've been battling for this and you see these fancy weight loss drugs coming out and other things that you might be able to shortcut your way and get better progress and torching off the weight I would say let's back up just for a moment and let's look at what weight means a lot of times if you look at these studies the weight is going to be a combination of a couple different things it's going to be fat which is what we wanna get rid of but then it's also going to be muscle which we want to try to maintain as much as possible the reason being is cause as you get into your older years and maybe you're already there you have these end of life beginning events when you actually fall off a couch or break something and of course that can happen to anybody but when you're lacking muscle mass and that supportive tissue and you're not in great health it's a lot easier to break things than when you are so the the goal would be to try to maintain as much muscle as possible as we get older there's a lot of different ways to do this guys thank god for this there's testosterone therapy if in fact your testosterone levels are low and usually after the age of 30 we start to deplete a particular percentage every single year you might wanna go out and talk to a doctor somebody that you know and have them check your levels maybe you're actually low in that regard and maybe that's something you should have them look at and then discuss with you the pros and cons of testosterone therapy to get that hormone back up to a more normal level now with that if you do that you will notice an increase in muscle mass if you start this testosterone therapy and again you younger people listening I would really tell you to not do this it's incredibly dangerous it's something that you shouldn't embark until later you have plenty of testosterone in most cases if you don't think you do go get a check from your doctor and then talk to them and take their advice cause I'm not one but I will tell you there's a lot of folks in the younger realm that I see at the gym and now working out when they see me the conversation comes up and some of them are very very large for their age they have a lot of muscle and some of them tell me that they've been taking things hormones and steroids to try to amplify their physical prowess all that stuff carries danger the longer you're on it the more capabilities that you're gonna have problems so that's my release for that so please be careful but all of us older gents if you look at your testosterone levels and they're incredibly low it might be something to look at now let's get back to this weight loss versus fat loss when you go on a caloric restricted diet from what I understand and from what I read and for what I experienced so many years trying it your metabolism actually goes down that explains the weight gain after you drop a certain amount of weight because you've been caloric restricted and if you were good you're able to focus on one two three months of doing this once you started eating normally again I'm not talking about blowing out of the park every meal having three and four thousand calories several times a day like some of us might have that in the past I'm just talking about going back to 2000 or 22 calories of intake per day what ends up happening is your body had a new set amount with regarding metabolism regarding how many calories it would consume a day because you went from whatever that was to a caloric restricted state to try to burn off body fat and in doing so your body did a pretty good job adjusting to that new number that's why your weight loss ended up slowing down when you did the caloric restriction and you might have stuck it out for a long time but the numbers really aren't that great even if you're doing some incredible working out which again you're tired you're lethargic your metabolism is going lower you don't have that kind of energy so any kind of workout is also kind of it's just like punching yourself in the face it's horrible so then the thing that I discovered that helped me out was the not eating I know starvation it really seemed to work fantastic in addition if you look at the studies done with how much weight people lose that is consistent with fat being lost versus muscle being lost there's a lot more muscle sparing effects in play by total fasting as far as just having water and black coffee but no caloric intake and IH did a study they looked at people that in different ranges of fast but they had some people in the group doing a 21 day fast and a lot of things change you can look at that's the National Institutes of Health NIH they did a study and it wasn't very long ago and they monitor these people over time so you can see the results it's pretty remarkable and these people had deprivation for up to 21 days which is known in the biblical world is a Daniel fast without food they had water they had black coffee but that was the fast that they embarked on I've experienced up to a 14 day fast now I'm doing a 21 day Daniel fast with no kind of caloric content I'm at the beginning of it but I fasted so much that I find after I can push through the first two or three days depending on what I was eating before the fast usually I fall right in and then it's just kind of comes down to willpower and in essence you don't need a lot of willpower after that point because your body is in ketosis and realistically there is a massive reduction in the amount of grehlin which is a hunger hormone as it's not very active after the first few days of a total fast or a water black coffee tea no calorie type fast that being the case why I mentioned depending on what I was eating before if I would have been in a ketogenic state if I would have been eating paleo or carnivore Paleo maybe but at least that's definitely better than the traditional American diet if I would have been eating that preceding the actual starting of the fast I would have more than likely already been in ketosis you've probably heard that term and that would have made it the transition lot easier into not eating because I was already using the fat for fuel source that's why the ketogenic diet seems to be superior then a lot of other diets but of course that's case by case individual talk to your doctor make sure you speak with your health professional before you embark on any kind of changing of what you're eating or not eating and especially if you're taking medication but everybody should do that so the ketosis transitions a lot easier because usually most of us over eating the traditional American diet and we're fat we probably have some insulin resistance going on it's taking more insulin to deal with the sugar in our blood and you keep doing that over time then you start to wear out that process so then you need more and more and then you go to a doctor and they say you have type 2 diabetes and now you get injectable insulin that you have to take over and above what you already take it would be amazing if there was something that somebody could do to actually heal that so they wouldn't have type 2 diabetes anymore I don't know if fasting would help but if you start to look at the studies like I have it looks like that solves a lot of that problem now let's back up just a little bit let's get back to this weight versus fat loss caloric restriction you cut your calories down to 800 1,000 calories a day people say well that's gonna be better for maintaining muscle in actuality from what I see probably not the reason being is this when you restrict your calories you actually lower your metabolism and it adjusts pretty quickly even at your refines you're not gonna be able to eat enough protein but the body is still in a calorie hungry state so it's not actually fasted so you don't get all these other benefits let me tell you this so you're tired you're lethargic you just don't feel good you're hangry which is a combination of hungry and angry versus if you don't eat now if you don't eat and you're able to sustain that for a little while your body will switch fuel sources going from being a sugar carbohydrate burner to being a fat burner when you switch fuel systems your body actually starts to burn the stored body fat for fuel that's what it moves to so then as long as you have body fat and as long as of course you keep your electrolytes up because when you start to fast for a long period of time you need to do your research your body will actually get rid of a lot of water weight very quickly it's not unusual for me to drop 15 20 pounds in the first two or three days of a water fast I'm also very large anyway
• 9:37
  right now I'm sitting about 3: 07 that's why I'm starting after my Daniel fast
• 9:42
  I'll probably be 2:55 or 2: 60 I still work out every day I don't eat anything I still have very good sleep I still pay attention to myself what I eat is nothing I drink water I drink the carbonated water as well mineral water I also drink black coffee I try to stay away from any sweeteners in the coffee because I find it just makes me hungry so if I'm already okay with not eating for extended period of time and I have something that has a no norcolor content but I drink it and it's like great here we go again and then I have to ride that particular hunger wave I wanna make sure what I'm losing is fat at least a majority of fat of course we can't all have it so how do you do that well you gotta work out you gotta lift some weights you gotta at least do the minimum amount to keep the muscle that you have you have to keep it activated so what does that look like I've watched a lot of studies you should study this too but from what I understand not being a professional but what I understand is somewhere between 5 and seven sets per week per body part is enough to maintain the muscle that you have so you don't lose it so I would do some calf raises five to seven sets per week and I would do each of the sets of calf calf raises to exhaustion then I would do some standing squats I would do those to exhaustion and I would grab grab some dumbbells and do some some bent over rows some stiff legged deadlift type most to get the hamstrings I would do six or seven of that then I come up further in the body then I would do some bicep curls that sort of thing I do tricep extensions overhead I do some shoulder presses maybe some vultures I do some chest presses maybe some rows for the back and then I would do that just to maintain the muscle I have during the time if you're just doing that for a minimum you're gonna keep your muscle for the most part you should be doing more though but I'm just putting it out there that it doesn't have to be a lot to be able to get you to some level of accomplishment now with caloric restriction whenever I did that in the past the weight loss was so slow especially in compared to fasting fasting you're dropping 3/4 to to of actual fat every day you continue the fast and at the beginning like I said there's a massive weight drop but that's gonna be a lot of water what happens when you go off the fast and start refeeding again that's gonna depend on the length of the fast it seems like the longer fast is the longer fasts have a lot more change in fact people have really reprogram themselves very well after experiencing a long fast 14 days 21 days or even more but that's something that's very dangerous if you Google it everybody's gonna tell you don't do it or at least make sure you talk to your health provider before you do if you're taking medicine that's something else that's incredibly important to pay pay attention to you don't have anything in here except the fact that you're burning for fuel and you start taking medicine because you that's what you've been taking before you started a lot of times that medicine is gonna start to have negative effects think of it this way let's say you're a type 2 diabetic talk to your doctor but let's say you are and let's say you're not eating anything but you're still injecting insulin what's gonna happen you're gonna get sick your body doesn't need that any longer while you're fasting and then what if you finish the fast and you eat you cut out all carbohydrates and that's how you eat the rest of your life I'm not sure if your body is going to need any exterior or any insulin from androgynous any insulin from coming in from the outside I don't know but that's interesting to ask you might want to check with your doctor and see what they say about that about the weight it should be a majority fat you got fat I have gotten fat I was 365 pounds at my at my fattest
• 13:46
  I got down to 2: 40 at my fattest
• 13:49
  and right now I move anywhere from 2:40 to about 2: 80 so I've on purpose gotten this fat to this point so I could go on a nice long fast the longest I've ever done just because I know I can and also I know that it's gonna heal a lot of the internal problems that I have through something called atophaji when you go on a fast or even caloric restricted if that's your thing or change your eating style you wanna make sure you maintain your muscle so this entire show was really about making sure when you go on a diet or restrict calories or go on a fast or start taking any kind of these medications that that help with fat loss make sure what you're losing is indeed fat there might be a little bit of protein that goes away when it's taken from certain parts of your body in order to feed certain things but it's not necessarily the case that it's gonna be much of anything because there's other systems like when you go on a faster metabolism increases it was 2,000 calories a day it could go up 10 12% depending on the study you look at so you could be burning extra calories by not eating because your body thinks it's starving who would have thought and it's free doesn't cost anything there's so much information online now 10 years ago you try to find something about fasting you would end up people would say you're gonna kill yourself this isn't something that anybody should take on lightly you should do your research and I found now when I'm getting into a longer type fast I did 14 days in the past it was just revolutionary for me there is a big spiritual component as well you might not even be after that but it's just a remarkable thing to get through it and then realize that you were able to be completely self sufficient on what your body carries and there is a point when fasting becomes dangerous if I was down to single digit body fat if I was ripped like an on stage body builder and then tried not to eat my body would then very simply because there was no more fat to burn would start going after muscles and vital organs and brain so that is a big problem but if you're sitting and a lot of us have 100,000 calories just sitting on us just in the way of fat and if you're bigger you have even more a lot of times you might be able to actually just not eat until you're done with a majority of it when you're done with your fast if you're gonna do little fasts and then refeed every week or a long fast and then refeed whatever your poison is going to be make sure that when it comes time to refeed that you're very careful because if we're food addicts like I am if we like to gorge which I do if you like to eat a whole bunch of nonsense and process food which yes I'm in that whole category too there's a tendency when you get done starving yourself over time that you're gonna blow out of the park with your next meal be careful that can kill you depending on how long you've gone and depending on your own biological proclivity if you have tendencies built in or you're in some way shape or form and again I'm not a doctor so I can't comment on it but you could be that one person that fasting is horrible for maybe you're a certain person or body type or whatever have some kind of metabolic issue that if you start to do this it's gonna end up being your end being fat's hard very difficult when I was 3 65 with a 65 inch waist it was really a horrible time for me and I was like that for so long it was until I got into my 50s till I started looking at things questioning things and understanding more about what I was eating there's a particular way to eat for your body not blood type wise although there's probably a little bit of truth in that but there's ways to eat and where you can be more balanced the problem is the food so good it's so addictive it's difficult to not want to eat it I see Doritos chips commercials where the cat is fighting with the aliens over the bag of chips if they had that kind of technology why just they don't go pick up a vending machine anyway but that's how good this stuff is I used to eat bags of chips one right after another I would eat Ben and Jerry's ice cream not one I would devour two and everything you could imagine absolutely addicted I don't get caught in that autopilot lifestyle anymore I don't end I don't even drink alcohol anymore that was a good run but again I was horrible at it and realizing how much damage it does thank God I got it and thank God I was one of the people that could change it you can too it's gonna depend on how badly you want it which of course goes along with everything else but if you start trying I would suggest this if you screw it up don't say great I screwed it up again forget the whole thing I'm destined to be fat that's bullshit stop it don't do that to yourself don't get in that world that you're gonna have a big pity party we're gonna invite all your friends in and they're gonna be able to say behind your back we knew that they couldn't do it cause that's what people do they talk shit they're gonna talk about how many times you tried and how many times you failed you know what you already hear enough of that shit from yourself don't care about what people think if this is something that suits you talk to your doctor because that's important but after that if they give you their blessing to go for this fasting thing and not eat not spend any money not to buy a diet program don't have to buy food and go out there and drink some water and maybe get some kind of salt pills or potassium and magnesium pills so you don't get the cramps just because your body does deplete those quite a bit when you start a fast these are called electrolytes be careful of the drinks cause they're gonna be sweet and they're gonna have some artificial crap in there to make it more palatable I don't know if you ever mixed salt with water and drink it it's horrible but again maybe a little bit extra in your coffee if you haven't two or three cups of coffee a day put a little salt in there maybe you won't taste it just like that to keep those electrolytes up but try it see if this works and when you screw it up if you screw up the refeed which trust me I did plenty there was times that I went on a 3 or 40 fast and ate two large pizzas when I was done talk about pain but that's the problem right you see those poor folks those poor souls that are on oxygen and still smoking cigarettes I'm sure one of them what is that that's addiction and brother and sister food the same company that makes those death sticks bought out a lot of the processed food companies so now they're making that food it's great the best way I find a getaway is by not eating but not eating carries with it a lot of warnings by the entire world because people really that have money in the game they don't want you to get to a healthy point now watching this they're gonna say oh my God he wants people to die by not eating I'm not saying any such thing go talk to your doctor I'm telling you what works for me what works for me how it makes me feel how it's fantastic how it's very muscle sparing because of the growth hormone that starts to get released on a multiple day fast it's gonna hold on to that the most valuable tissues plus you're gonna be working it out plus you're gonna be dropping a majority of your weight in fat and that's what we wanna go for think about it work it out if you are ready to do it then do it talk to your medical professional or do it but either way it's important that you get that advice and I can't harp on it enough because the more I talk about this I get a lot of hate from people that have a lot of attorneys so please think about it make good choices but do your research there's a lot of great doctors out there cardiac surgeons nephrologist people on YouTube that talk about fasting and it's not just for fat loss it does a lot of very positive things for the human body if you look at us over time we haven't been eating processed food but for about half a minute compared to the long time we've been on this planet we haven't been eating so much so many meals per day but about a minute as far as our entire time span here on this planet don't eat like this but it's so easy it tastes so good the next time you're watching television or commercials or a movie look at how attention is paid to food to alcohol look at that when people want to get together it's always over food when people want to wind down and relax it's always around a central nervous system to present a poison which is alcohol somebody wants to relax the light up a cigarette or hit a vape you can see it just apply it to yourself don't care what people think except for your doctor of course if you're around people that enable you you might have to look at it as an us and them kind of thing it's either me or them and you need to take care of yourself are they going to be here when you have your end of life trauma are they going to be here when you blown something out and you're in the hospital I don't know and that's expensive too I would rather finish out the last 10 years of my life a little hungry than I would rather finish it out in a hospital bed do your research be good to yourselves I'm Connor with honor we'll see you in the next one and I would get milkshakes and tacos at Jack in the box
