Hello Health Champions. Today I want to talk  about the top 10 mistakes that people make  

during intermittent fasting that rob them  of the results and the success that they're  

looking for when starting out on fasting or  intimate fasting. And when I say success,  

I'm talking about long-term success because  if you do something to get healthier but then  

you stop doing it and you get right back to  being unhealthy where you started then what  

was the point of changing anything at all. So have  the mindset of changing for a lifetime. Another  

problem is that people don't understand that  we are different it's like they think there is  

the right way. Tell me the right way as if someone  could do all the research and just figure it out  

and come up with a one magical answer  that's going to apply to everybody.  

And there is no such thing so stop looking for the  right way but instead if you start understanding  

the different principles and the mechanisms  then you use trial and error and you figure  

out what the right way is for you. And then  there are some people who can make every single  

mistake that I'm going to talk about and they  succeed anyway at least in terms of weight loss.  

They eat the pizza they eat the ice cream they  just do it once a day and they lose the weight.  

Now I'm happy that they're getting some weight  loss results or whatever they're looking for but  

it doesn't mean that that is healthy in the long  run. But then on the other hand there are other  

people who have much more stubborn situations  and they have to be very meticulous and follow  

every single rule in the book. So keep in  mind as we're talking about these 10 mistakes  

that when we talk about results they have to  be sustainable otherwise it doesn't work and  

if it's too painful you're not very likely to  carry it through but rather a lot of people  

will quit. Mistake number 10 is that people often  change too quickly. So if you're like most people  

and you've never really tried to do anything  then you probably wake up and you have breakfast  

you eat a mid-morning snack you have lunch  mid-afternoon snack dinner and an evening snack  

and the only time you're not eating is when you're  sleeping. So if you sleep for eight hours you  

might be fasting for 10 hours and all the rest  of the time you're basically eating. So what I  

suggest is that you allow your body to get used to  this gradually don't try to shock your body. Do it  

nicely then your body is going to work with you so  if you just move your evening snack back an hour  

you gained an hour of fasting. If you skip it  all together you gain another couple of hours  

if you move your breakfast up after that and you  skip the snacks now you have 15 hours of fasting  

and you're only stimulating insulin three times a  day. And then the next step, you probably realize  

you don't need breakfast at all so you just eat  lunch and dinner and now you have an 18-hour fast.  

So you've almost doubled your fasting period and  your feeding period has shrunk in more than half  

and some people do really well just going cold  turkey going from six meals a day to two meals a  

day and if that works great but I don't recommend  it I recommend you change gradually because your  

body is going to be much happier in the long run  for a lot of people if you change too quickly it's  

unnecessarily painful and if it's painful and  uncomfortable a lot of people are going to quit  

and then we don't get the results. Mistake number  nine is that we think of it as a quick fix.  

We've all heard about these diets we see the  magazines every day that lose 30 pounds in  

30 days or some ridiculous thing like that  and the problem is we get the mindset that  

we can do anything for a period of time but  what happens then is we plan to go back to  

doing what we used to do and create the problem  all over. So get over the idea of a quick fix.  

Don't think of this as a diet think of it  as a lifestyle and stop thinking short term.  

Just because it's powerful does not mean  that it's short term you can get results  

within weeks but it doesn't mean you can go back  to doing what you used to do. Mistake number eight  

is to not eat enough food and it could be because  you don't understand intermittent fasting or it  

could be that you're just too gung-ho and you  just want the results super fast. You decided  

I'm gonna do this once and for all and you  just go all in and that may not be so smart  

the idea of intermittent fasting is that  you eat less food overall because you eat  

fewer meals but when you do eat you allow  yourself to eat until you're full. That way  

you can eat to satiety you don't feel deprived but  you are eating less food overall. You're allowing  

your body to get into fat burning and you can  start burning some fat off the body instead of  

from what you're eating. But for some people who  are a little too eager they end up eating low carb  

which is a good thing but then they also eat low  fat and low protein, right? You can't eat less or  

very little of everything that's not going to work  there's a word for that it's called starvation  

and there's two problems with that first of all  you're shocking your body you're not allowing it  

to get into that healthy, peaceful, harmonious  place where it finds its homeostasis long term.  

And the other problem is that you're going to  be suffering and it's going to be very difficult  

to sustain it. Mistake number seven is to eat  too much carbohydrate and why is that a problem  

because carbohydrate raises insulin and  the whole reason we're doing intermittent  

fasting is to lower insulin. We do that two  ways by lowering carbohydrate and by eating  

fewer meals because what increases insulin is  whenever we eat something and whenever we eat  

especially carbohydrate. So for some people  it's enough to just reduce the number of meals  

but for a lot of people you have to do both.  You have to reduce the carbs and eat fewer meals  

and why is that so important to lower insulin?  Because insulin is fat storing and if insulin  

remains high then we're going to stay in a  state of fat storing we're going to prevent  

fat burning and if we eat less but insulin is high  then we still can't get to those fat stores on  

the body. And if we can't get to them and the body  senses it needs energy but it can't find it on the  

body then it says you have to eat more and you end  up getting hungry. So high levels of insulin makes  

you hungry and too much carbs will maintain those  high insulin levels. Mistake number six is to eat  

too much protein for most people I'm not talking  about the meat fish chicken eggs I'm not talking  

about whole food good sources of protein if you  eat that in moderation it's totally okay and  

for the vast majority of people you don't really  need to restrict these at all. But we still have  

to be aware of what happens to excess protein  because the excess gets turned into glucose.  

Whenever you eat protein it can only end up  two ways either your body uses it for something  

structural meaning muscles, bone, skin, hair,  collagen, it can use it for hormones small amount  

so the structural is one way but the other  way anything the body can't use for structural  

becomes energy it converts it into glucose and it  uses it for fuel and then the glucose gets stored  

as glycogen up to the limit which isn't very much  of how much glycogen we can store and the rest  

gets converted to fat. So what I really want to  get at is that some people have heard that sugar  

is bad and carbohydrates bad and fat is bad and  then they think that the only thing left to eat  

is protein and they eat as much as they can of  meat fish and chicken but then they might also  

in between start eating things like protein  powders and protein powders are not a great idea.  

I'm not totally opposed to it if you want to use  it here and there just don't think of more protein  

as always better and these protein powders most of  them are plant-based but even the ones there are  

things like whey and collagen they have a very  poor conversion into the structural into the  

tissues meaning over 80 percent of these protein  powders and the protein in the powders gets turned  

into glucose and then some of the protein powders  even have other sugars or carbohydrates or even  

artificial chemicals and sweeteners. Mistake  number five is to eat too much fat so this is  

a little confusing to people because they think  that low carb and keto and intermittent fasting  

is about eating as much fat as possible and that's  not true. It's about reducing the carbohydrates  

so that you lower the insulin, so you can burn  the fat now that's a good thing if you can burn  

fat because then you can burn the dietary fat but  the real purpose is to burn the fat off the body  

and you still want to be in a caloric  deficit so that your body has an incentive  

to burn the fat off the body. If you keep  giving your body all the fat it needs for  

energy through the diet then it's never going  to get around to burning it off the body.  

So for some people it takes care of itself because  when they eat fewer meals their appetite goes down  

and they start burning the fat but for others they  have a tendency to keep eating a little bit more  

than they should. So this is something that you  want to be aware of that if you're not losing the  

weight your body is not burning it off the body  it could be that you're still eating too much fat.  

Mistake number four is to eat too many calories  and it is possible if you're a really good
