Here’s the thing you need to remember: your goal is to start burning your own fat for fuel. The ONLY WAY to tap into that stored fat is to STOP running on glucose / glycogen. You can either be a fat-burner or a sugar burner. The end. Making the transition from a sugar-burner to a fat-burner is the hard art, but once you do it, you will be AMAZED at how good you feel. I promise. | |

In a nutshell, there are two main types of intermittent fasting strategies: Plans you do every day (an “eating window” approach), or plans you implement a certain number of times per week (an “up / down day” approach). | |
Which approach to intermittent fasting is the best? It’s the one that makes you feel in control and the one that you can follow long-term as a lifestyle. That’s important to understand from the beginning — intermittent fasting is a lifestyle. It isn’t something that you start today and then end when you get to some arbitrary “goal weight.” Something you start and then stop is DIET. Intermittent fasting isn’t a diet — as I said, it’s a lifestyle. | |

Ghrelin And Leptin

When we follow restrictive diets, count calories, eat according to an arbitrary meal schedule, etc., we disconnect from our satiety hormones. We eat because it is time to eat. We eat because it is time to eat. We eat because food is available. The more we do it, the worse shape we are in. | |
Bottom line, if you have had trouble sticking to a diet, it isn’t your fault — it’s your hormones. The overwhelming drive to eat is coming from ghrelin, telling you to eat more. You are no longer able to get the signals from leptin, telling you that you have had enough. Understand that uncontrollable or constant hunger is a sign that your have made some dietary choices that aren’t working for you. On the other hand, satiety is a good sign, telling you that your body is happy with what you are doing. | |
