The take home message is the calorie deficit ❤<br>Less cash flow to break the fixed deposit ( visceral fat )

<b>Key Points to Remember After You Watch The Video. (Thank Me Later):</b><br>1. Fasting is like a free health insurance for your body that helps you use your stored energy instead of just saving it (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=16">0:16</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=53">0:53</a>).<br><br>2. When you do not eat for a long time, your body switches from using sugar for energy to burning fat, which is the main goal of fasting (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=900">15:00</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=948">15:48</a>).<br><br>3. Fasting is not the same as detoxing, as your liver and kidneys are already doing a great job of cleaning your body naturally (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=1152">19:12</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=1180">19:40</a>).<br><br>4. For most people, the best way to fast is the 5:2 method, where you eat normally for five days and keep calories very low for two non-consecutive days (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=545">9:05</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=567">9:27</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=1411">23:31</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=1470">24:30</a>).<br><br>5. You should try to keep your diet made of about 40% protein, 40% fiber, and less than 20% fat to stay healthy while fasting (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=1802">30:02</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=1819">30:19</a>).<br><br>6. Do not mistake religious fasting with feasting on fried or sugary foods, as that defeats the purpose of giving your body a healthy break (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=35">0:35</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=43">0:43</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=888">14:48</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=901">15:01</a>).<br><br>7. If you are starting out, try skipping breakfast and staying busy to make your fasting window easier to manage (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=2164">36:04</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=2189">36:29</a>).<br><br>8. Fiber is extremely important for your gut health, so make sure to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=2663">44:23</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=2700">45:00</a>).<br><br>9. Diabetics, kidney patients, and young children should not fast without strict supervision from a doctor because it can be dangerous (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=1968">32:48</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=2004">33:24</a>).<br><br>10. Fasting can help you lose weight, but it only works if you stay in a calorie deficit for the whole day (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=81">1:21</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=92">1:32</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=1261">21:01</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=1267">21:07</a>).<br><br>11. To break your fast, avoid sugary or fried foods that cause big insulin spikes and instead choose light protein, healthy fats, and fiber (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=2535">42:15</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=2568">42:48</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=2803">46:43</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=2817">46:57</a>).<br><br>12. Strength training is very important while fasting to make sure you do not lose too much muscle mass (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=2033">33:53</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=2041">34:01</a>).<br><br>13. Avoid using food delivery apps for your meals because you cannot control the quality of oils and ingredients they use (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=2993">49:53</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=3029">50:29</a>).<br><br>14. While some celebrities or public figures do extreme fasts, you should always do it in a safe, systematic way recommended by a professional (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=1638">27:18</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=1651">27:31</a>).<br><br>15. Black coffee or water are great options during your fasting hours because they do not add calories to your body (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=972">16:12</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=978">16:18</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=3135">52:15</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=3145">52:25</a>).<br><br>16. Fasting is also a way to learn how to say no to unhealthy habits, which is a great skill for a healthy lifestyle (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=3921">1:05:21</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac29UlKl5M&t=3949">1:05:49</a>).<br><br>I hope I can get to 1 million subscribers soon. 💪💪💪
