somehow we were taught that we need to snack and we need snack foods all around us and snack foods in our house and snack foods at the airport and snack foods at every corner it just it's the worst and I think there's two things people could do to dramatically improve their houses get rid of liquid sugar calories and don't snack yes and I couldn't agree more
so when we're talking about the standard American it's really saying stop snacking rip that Band-Aid off because it's going to force you to reallocate your macronutrients your protein fat and carbs with your meals and then and only then is someone really in a position where they can say okay I'm not going to eat from breakfast to lunch and lunch to dinner and from dinner to breakfast
and so it may start with 12 hours of not eating and they evolve to 13 to 14 and I find for a lot of my patients who are very metabolically inflexible that are insulin resistant or diabetic we have to do this pretty slowly because their bodies are so inefficient it's almost as if they've been putting the wrong type of fuel in their bodies for so many
years that their body is not able to tap into fat stores as a first step so for those individuals it's a really slow stepwise approach kind of getting them to a point where they're putting on training wheels so they can get to a point where I can encourage them go 18 hours go 20 hours Go 24 hours
