from certain or all food, drink, or both, for a period of time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">for our purposes, fasting is the restriction of a dietary source of fuel, and minimized digestive effort,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>for a specific period of time.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>specifically, we are looking to restrict starches and sugars, while minimizing digestive effort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">from an evolutionary perspective, fasting is cyclic and hormetic &#8211; as a brief stressor, it\u2019s beneficial for the body.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>very similar to the stress of exercise. cycling the body through periods of feast and famine mimic conditions that are bodies are used to and give us results that we want.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">the benefits of strategic fasting are tremendous.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>when the body is in a <b>rest &amp; digest<\/b> state, and NOT digesting, it is resting, healing, recuperating, and becoming extremely efficient at energy utilization and creation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>caution<\/b> &#8211; experimenting with fasting should NEVER be done without fully immersing yourself in our <b>POWERED by REAL FOOD<\/b> protocols first. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>benefits of fasting<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>improved metabolic efficiency<\/b> (#selfsufficiency).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>the body learns how to be create energy from fat stores, and maintains it\u2019s ability to use glucose = metabolic flexibility.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>this translates into better energy levels, better performance, and optimal body composition.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>increased quality of life and longevity.<\/b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>has been proven in the literature to increase lifespan when done periodically, for many reasons including reduced brain insulin signaling and many of the reasons below.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>improved measurable health markers.<\/b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>has been shown to greatly reduce triglycerides, LDL-C, and improve LDL particle number.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>we also see improvements in glucose numbers, insulin sensitivity, and blood pressure.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>compliance with optimal eating.<\/b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>incorporates a schedule and routine with goals to shoot for that make adopting this our way of eating easier.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>cancer.<\/b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>a proven protocol for starving cancer cells by forcing the body into #selfsufficiency, and forcing internal healing and cleansing.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>brain health.<\/b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>has been proven to increase neurological plasticity (flexibility and adaptability) and promote neuron growth because it gives the body a chance to focus on other priorities besides digesting, including optimizing brain function and strengthening specific neural networks.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>improved autophagy.<\/b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>the process by which cells recycle waste material, eliminate or down-regulate wasteful processes, and repair themselves.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>improved fitness.<\/b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>fasted training (and fasting in general) improves metabolic flexibility (#selfsufficiency) by forcing the body to be efficient with fat stores and glycogen (muscle sugar) usage, learning how to prioritize both.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>fasted training also improves nutrient utilization by enhancing insulin sensitivity and forcing the body to \u201cpool\u201d nutrients and resources.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>superior focus and mental clarity.<\/b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>you should notice that during fasting, there will be a very punctuated window of mental clarity, focus, and overall calmness.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>the more comfortable you get with fasting, and the more you experiment with implementing fasting randomly, the more focus and mental clarity you will acquire over time.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>most people experience extreme levels of focus, mental clarity, epiphanies, and inspirations in the middle of strategic fasts.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strategic Fasting and how to lose
