There’s a lot of information out there about fasting. Does it truly help? And if so, how?
The majority of information being presented on the web focuses on weight loss. However, this is only one small portion of the results. Fasting when properly applied and protocol followed has OUTSTANDING BENEFITS that anyone doing the fast and following instructions can gain. The fasting protocol is not simple and requires some dedication to fully achieve the projected results. Yes, the weight will be lost. Yes, inches of fat will be lost. Yes, you will eliminate toxin buildup in your lymphatic system. Yes, you will establish the basis for better health in the future. Yes, you will be in a better position to avoid or prevent some of the more nasty diseases. Yes, you may add several years to your lifetime if you continue the practice of periodic fasting. Yes, you may cure or prevent diabetics. Yes, you will have more energy — lean energy not regular ATP energy. Yes, if you follow instructions you will experience better cognitive powers.
How does it work – – – you should open your mind’s eye to the idea of a meta-physical being. I don’t like the name fasting — the name does not convey the full meaning and capability of the activity. The activity moves you out of the “day to day existence” and moves you into a higher plane of awareness and body functioning. So what do you call it? I don’t know. Maybe ” “Therapeutic Health Intervention”???
When properly followed your body moves from a sugar (glucose) energy orientation to a more lean energy orientation fueled by enzymes your body manufactures or produces via a complex sequence of pathways (which are not normally used with glucose). Your body begins to use KETONES as the fuel source. At the same time while being time dependent, there are a sequence of auxilary activities that get put into process which are not normally used. Stem Cells are produced and are used to replace existing cells which may not be operating properly.
Visualize your spirit awakening and begin to float just above your body — your body continues to function however your spirit begins to make changes to the internal operation of your organs, cells, neuron movements etc. Your spirit floats just above the body and directs the whole process towards a stronger, more rezealant and unflappable you. Your body efficiency jumps to a higher level.
The task is to stay in the ketone state of reference. It is totally possible to slide backward to the old you if you take back old habits. Mental and physical programs should be maintained to avoid falling backward
Is Intermittent fasting a good weight loss option for women over 30 years old?
YES
A 30 year old would benefit.not just from a weight loss perspective but from an overall health perspective. A female following a “Therapeutic Health Intervention” would lose weight, lose inches, gain energy, increase her self-worth awareness, increase her sense of being in control.
Can you talk about the 16 hours fast, 8-hour eating window? This has been the recommended version of intermittent fasting to achieve fat loss.
A 16 : 8 intervention is kinda for special needs — high stress, limited time availability, not in full control of their time. This is a good starting point to build your way up to longer time periods of therapeutic health focus. For Cerebral cleaning this type can work well when applied. There are methods to stay in the proper metabolic (no or little glucose) state without going into a highly structured procedural protocol. Mind you for someone new to the therapeutic health protocol it is probably best to stay with a highly structured process. To my way of thinking — I do not want to have my body moving back and forth between a glucose metabolic state to the Ketone metabolic state. I think it is preferable to stay in one metabolic state at all times. You will feel better, not subject to the highs and lows of each day’s stress, be in more control of your thoughts, being etc.
