- 0:036: 33 a m haven't worked out yet but I will be getting to that part of the approach to this fasting protocol that I keep talking about that was my saving Grace back in the day has to do with willpower if you think that stopping eating is something that doesn't require willpower unfortunately you're mistaken there are a lot of people out there that have talked about fasting how it's easier than restricting calories couldn't tell you both are horrible both are difficult both seem to really take their toll emotionally and also physically Intel I guess you embrace it and realize that wherever this is going to have you end up maybe that's going to be a better place than where you currently are and as human beings if you kind of look at society in general yeah it's like we're all trying to scurry to be on top of the Empire that being the case you might wanna start screwing to get to the top of your own amp pile part of my process that I was considering was as I got older as I started getting to my 50s I started seeing people that I knew in my periphery very close friends and people in my sphere start to not be doing well and a lot of that seen because of excess excess something whether it was excess alcohol excess something other some other addictive substance or excess food um I never really saw anybody excess working out but I did see people excess sleeping excess lazy excess not being motivated excess depressed excess living in the past so there's a lot of other excesses other than physical workout and people being so concerned that they're gonna start lifting a couple dumbbells and then turn into Arnold Schwarzenegger you're not even a male that the size or looks at their hormone profile and sees that their testosterone is low and they go out and supplement and start lifting three days a week or whatever it may be having never touched a weight before in their life but now all of a sudden their testosterone's balanced they also will not become Arnold Schwarzenegger the women out there that are watching you're concerned with starting to lift weights cause you don't wanna get bulky you're not gonna get bulky you're not gonna get massive you're not gonna get huge it takes a lot of work and trust me when I tell you you'll know it when you start getting that way because you're gonna have people say wow you've really changed your body's really started to become more shapely I can see your muscles under your skin I can see fill in the blank you'll start to have people tell you and then all of a sudden you'll win Mr and Mrs Olympia and that might not be a bad place to be if you're using the excuse for starting to do some kind of resistance training with the fact that you're going to become some massive onstage bodybuilder you can put that to rest I've been lifting for a while I am on testosterone therapy so I'm on what a doctor is prescribing me to take to keep my testosterone where it should be normally at my age and that has had some fantastic benefits great you need to check with a medical professional before you embark in that but even with that you're not gonna become Arnold Schwarzenegger probably not but here's what I suggest that balance helped you're going to be out there maybe you've been fat for a long time and it's something that you really wanted to fix and like me I thought I had it many times I thought I had the solution and I thought this was gonna be what's going to work and it never did it wasn't until I coupled the fasting with everything not eating for extended periods of time and actually realizing that I would be okay not eating for a few days it actually worked getting into that and then refeeding refeeding is something that I'll draw your attention to as well if you're able to make it a day without eating and that's what the doctor says to do and so on these are my experiences but if the doctor says it's okay to maybe miss a meal or two then see what that feels like but you don't have to make up for that meal with the next meal the meal that you missed you don't have to make up with it with the very next thing you eat that was a big mind thing for me because I've been I've always been that person that has gone to Costco and probably bought more than they needed or go to a large box store probably bought more than they needed or I'm in the supermarket I love the two for one thing oh my gosh even though I'm not gonna eat both because some sugary treat high fat sugary treat that stuff that you know keeps us absolutely fat that stuff is wonderful but then at the supermarket they have a 2 for 1 special on it I actually after I had my change not that kind of change but after I had my change I actually realized that I wouldn't even get the free one and the the register clerk really wanted to help oh you got to get the free one it comes as 2 for 1 I see and I'm just gonna eat the one if I get two I'll eat both cause I know who I am that was very mind opening to me when I was able to do that the first time and I didn't even prepare for it it was just I was in that mental space that I always wanted too much of everything and actually it feels good not having too much of anything really and it still keeps you a little hungry point of what I'm saying is it's okay to be a little hungry camera slipped it's okay to be a little hungry you owe it to yourself to be a little hungry and if you're not a little hungry you're gonna be sitting on the couch watching repeats of your favorite shows be a little hungry thanks for watching today's Fat to fit
