Intermittent Fasting is a new way of eating during a window during the day where between a few hours you can eat, and you can decide how long that window will be, and how long you should eat during that window. In this episode, I talk about the benefits of intermittent fasting and how it can improve your mental and physical well-being.

00:00:00.000 Surprise Flex!
00:00:08.000 Greetings, laddingtons!
00:00:11.000 I'm checking in from beautiful Lothlorien here in Middle-earth, aka Sweden.
00:00:18.000 Sweden in June.
00:00:19.000 What a time to be alive!
00:00:21.000 So, today I thought to radicalize you all with my teachings, but before I begin to do
00:00:26.000 I would like to offer a fair warning to all parents if you have teenage sons that watch
00:00:32.000 too many of my videos.
00:00:34.000 I will just give this heads up that they might start going to such extreme measures as to
00:00:40.000 stop watching porn, start going to the gym, start going to read more books, start having
00:00:46.000 an aversion to drugs and alcohol, and start generally taking more care of their mental
00:00:51.000 and physical well-being.
00:00:52.000 So, be prepared for that, just thought to give that fair warning so you all know what
00:00:57.000 is up when you come to my channel.
00:01:00.000 No, that being said, I have a lot of fitness and health videos incoming.
00:01:07.000 I thought about making many of these before, but then the whole censorship scandal broke,
00:01:12.000 so I had to deal with that first.
00:01:14.000 But I'm trying to catch up on the videos I have promised you all, especially you on Patreon
00:01:19.000 and Subscribestar, I have said that I'll make videos on it, this is one of them.
00:01:23.000 So, shout out to you again for your support.
00:01:26.000 So, basically what it means intermittent fasting, as you see in the title, is that you eat during
00:01:33.000 a window during the day.
00:01:36.000 So, between a few hours you can eat, and you can decide yourself on how long that window will be.
00:01:42.000 So, I first stumbled upon intermittent fasting via my Swedish countryman, Martin Berkan,
00:01:49.000 a few years back on his page Lean Gains, and I will link it below, because it's important
00:01:53.000 to give credit where credit is due.
00:01:55.000 And I thought it seemed perfectly reasonable, everything he wrote.
00:01:58.000 And if you want to look at the scientific studies behind what I'm talking about,
00:02:03.000 you can check that out there.
00:02:05.000 I'm just talking from my own personal experience.
00:02:08.000 So, basically, the first step is to cut out breakfast, basically.
00:02:14.000 And that is the main point for me when I talk about intermittent fasting,
00:02:17.000 because most people, they aren't really that hungry in the morning.
00:02:21.000 And for me, also personally, I like to get things done in the morning.
00:02:24.000 I don't want to waste time on making something to eat.
00:02:27.000 I can have a coffee or a tea in the morning.
00:02:30.000 I made a video a few weeks back.
00:02:32.000 And to, again, clarify, I don't disavow coffee in the least.
00:02:36.000 I think it's a great supplement.
00:02:37.000 I think it's a great light drug, as it were.
00:02:40.000 It's a healthy drug.
00:02:42.000 But use it with care.
00:02:43.000 For me, it was just a personal choice of cutting down somewhat on the consumption.
00:02:48.000 But if you want to start doing intermittent fasting,
00:02:52.000 and you still have that hunger or craving in the morning,
00:02:55.000 you can just have a cup of coffee instead and let that be your breakfast.
00:02:59.000 So that's the first step to cut out breakfast,
00:03:02.000 because unless you are a bulk bra, or if you are younger,
00:03:06.000 you're still growing and stuff, you can cut out breakfast
00:03:10.000 and place those extra calories if you need them at lunch.
00:03:15.000 So lunch then becomes your first meal of the day.
00:03:18.000 And this is something I've done for seven or so years,
00:03:21.000 so that lunch is the first meal.
00:03:23.000 Then again, if it's more convenient for me to eat a breakfast,
00:03:27.000 or because it's part of a certain experience,
00:03:29.000 so if I'm at some sort of hotel, it's a nice breakfast,
00:03:32.000 of course I will partake in it, so I'm not that static
00:03:35.000 that I let it go out over my enjoyment of life, as it were.
00:03:39.000 And then also if I know that eating early on in the day
00:03:42.000 is the only time to eat during the day because of some reasons,
00:03:45.000 then I will obviously do it.
00:03:47.000 So first step, cutting out breakfast.
00:03:50.000 And for me, it's a matter of convenience.
00:03:53.000 I just like to get a good start of the morning,
00:03:55.000 get things done and not be as dependent upon food.
00:03:59.000 And that's the second aspect I would like to enlighten you to.
00:04:04.000 It's the aspect of becoming less dependent upon food.
00:04:07.000 So if you're used to not eating for longer periods of time,
00:04:10.000 it doesn't matter if for whatever reason one day
00:04:13.000 you are longer without meals.
00:04:15.000 So if you get used to doing longer fasts,
00:04:17.000 you can deal with certain situations in a better manner.
00:04:21.000 And then also, if we're talking about,
00:04:23.000 for you who are interested in survivalism, et cetera,
00:04:26.000 getting your body to be a bit more comfortable
00:04:29.000 with going longer periods of time without food,
00:04:32.000 it's obviously a very good idea.
00:04:35.000 So for example, if I'm out and about
00:04:37.000 and I eat my first meal at 16 or something like that,
00:04:41.000 it's perfectly fine for me.
00:04:42.000 My cognitive ability isn't reduced,
00:04:44.000 whereas if I would have been dependent upon eating
00:04:47.000 every three or four hours,
00:04:49.000 my cognitive ability and general mood would be lessened
00:04:53.000 because you all know it's not nice to be hungry.
00:04:55.000 But if you are used to dealing with longer periods of time
00:04:59.000 without eating, it will affect you less.
00:05:01.000 Then, last aspect, it's also a matter of,
00:05:04.000 if you want to get shredded, if you want to lose some weight,
00:05:07.000 there are plenty of ways to do so.
00:05:10.000 For me, to just recommend intermittent fasting to someone,
00:05:13.000 it's a good first step.
00:05:15.000 Now, keep in mind that if you want to lose weight,
00:05:17.000 it's about calories in versus calories out.
00:05:20.000 So you have to spend more calories than you take in.
00:05:22.000 And restricting your eating is a great way to
00:05:25.000 not have to think all too much about what you eat.
00:05:28.000 And also, if you want to lose even more weight,
00:05:30.000 you can cut out all liquid calories so that you chew all food you take in.
00:05:35.000 Then, of course, you can drink coffee, water, tea, etc.
00:05:38.000 that do not have any calories in it.
00:05:40.000 But that's another aspect.
00:05:42.000 So you eat your last meal at 20 or 22, depending on when you get home from training.
00:05:48.000 So for me, if I train at 21, I get back at 22 perhaps,
00:05:53.000 then I eat my last meal.
00:05:54.000 Or if I'm training at 19, I get back at 20 or something,
00:05:57.000 I eat my last meal then, brush my teeth, and that's the end of the day.
00:06:01.000 Now, for the sake of transparency, I'm not as strict when it comes to the evenings sometimes I eat anyway.
00:06:08.000 But if I'm trying to get shredded, I'm more strict with the evening timing as well.
00:06:13.000 But when it comes to breakfast, it's a rarity that I eat it.
00:06:18.000 So that was my thoughts on intermittent fasting.
00:06:21.000 I hope it was somewhat helpful and informative at least.
00:06:26.000 And thank you for watching.
