Intermittent Fasting with Ketogenic Diet: NOT A LOW-CALORIE DIET. Please, do not confuse my support of intermittent fasting with support for starving. Let me be clear: NO STARVING ALLOWED! Reduced calorie diets are a no-no. Intermittent Fasting (IF) knocks the socks off of a Low Calorie or Reduced Calorie diet. Indeed, I would say they are the OPPOSITE of each other. Intermittent fasting shifts your chemistry in the opposite direction of the low-calorie diets.
A calorie-reduced diet would be more accurately called a torture diet. No matter its name, it triggers your chemistry to store fat. This low-calorie setting takes your food and squirrels it away into cells designated to save energy. If you want body chemistry that locks your energy efficiently into your fat cells, go on a reduced calorie diet. Every study regarding reduced calorie diets has proven this over and over again. Notice that I have not mentioned carbohydrates or fat. When scouring through every reduced calorie diet, notice that the instructors of these diets select food with the fewest calories. Fats add the most calories per bite, therefore are chosen sparingly for these diets. When the dietician adds fat to the list of foods, suddenly their low-calorie diet is no longer low in calories. Their system is stressed, and you can measure their stress hormones to prove it. They don’t sleep well. They feel tired, crabby, and a countdown to the day they can start eating again. Sadly, their metabolism suffered the most damage. During the eight weeks of their diet ordeal, their body remains in the 'store all that you can find' mode. When they resume eating, watch out. BOOOM! The calories will be sucked into storage never to be re-released.

Scheduled Eating - Not Starving
Intermittent Fasting
Autophagy Fasting: The Mystery Explained
00:04
hi I'm dr. Boz and today we're gonna
00:08
take on a hearty topic called
00:10
intermittent fasting if you've watched
00:12
any of the other videos on ketosis this
00:15
one might be the most difficult to
00:17
understand intermittent fasting is
00:19
something that has been much more
00:21
commonly talked about over the last
00:23
couple of years and in part I think it
00:26
is because of the ketogenic diet and how
00:29
much they have similar chemistry states
00:32
when I mentioned the word intermittent
00:34
fasting if you're like my parents or
00:36
many of my patients the only word that
00:38
really registers in their minds is
00:40
fasting and they turn that word into
00:43
starving intermittent fasting is not
00:45
starving in fact I would contend that
00:48
starvation and intermittent fasting
00:50
might be opposite ends of the chemistry
00:54
spectrum there is no starving allowed in
00:56
what I recommend for a ketogenic diet
00:58
and the intermittent fasting that goes
01:00
with it let's be very clear about what
01:02
I'm comparing I am comparing low-calorie
01:04
diets to a intermittent fasting diet
01:08
low-calorie diets are those diets that
01:10
have restrictions of the calories to
01:14
less than 800 calories some of them I've
01:17
seen as low as 600 calories for the
01:19
first two weeks you will ask the
01:20
patients how they feel on those
01:22
low-calorie diets and they use the word
01:24
I feel like I'm starving I feel hungry
01:27
all the time and this chemistry state is
01:30
opposite from what you hear when
01:32
patients are on an intermittent fasting
01:34
state and if you do get the chance to
01:37
interview somebody in the second or
01:40
third day of an intermittent fast they
01:42
won't complain about hunger I mean
01:44
hunger isn't what their most common
01:46
symptom is and I would contend it's
01:48
because of the chemistry going on inside
01:50
their bodies when you compare a low
01:53
calorie diet to intermittent fasting
01:55
let's look at a couple of examples of
01:57
what happens to patients on a
01:59
low-calorie diet they go on to this low
02:01
calorie diet and indeed they do lose
02:03
weight but what's happening deep inside
02:05
their metabolism is that their body is
02:08
registering these few trickling calories
02:11
coming in
02:12
and how valuable it is to prepare for
02:15
what must be a famine ahead
02:18
you see when our body senses that there
02:20
is a low amount of food as opposed to no
02:23
food it results in a different response
02:26
from the system a trickle effect of low
02:29
calories turns into a message where your
02:31
body says we can sense it there's a
02:34
famine coming up you need to take those
02:36
calories store them quickly and don't
02:40
use any extra energy that in essence
02:42
turns down the metabolism of our bodies
02:45
our system gets prepared for the no
02:48
calorie phase the key is that the body
02:50
is always preparing for that low calorie
02:53
phase but it never actually gets there
02:55
the system stores energy and turns down
02:59
the metabolism for a low calorie diet
03:01
when looking at the metabolism of
03:03
somebody who's been on a low-calorie
03:04
diet for I've had patients for a couple
03:07
of years on a low calorie diet and their
03:09
system is running on effectively like
03:12
800 calories a day their body gets less
03:16
efficient every day that they trickle
03:18
calories into their system they may
03:20
survive on 800 calories today and if
03:24
they stick to that inherent calorie diet
03:26
the rules for tomorrow are you now need
03:28
to live on 799 calories and every day
03:32
that they go on with a low calorie diet
03:34
their body gets more and more nervous
03:37
about the impending famine that never
03:40
arrives
03:41
so let's compare that to a fasting state
03:44
when the noise from calories completely
03:47
turns off and I mean it's off not 300
03:51
calories it's zero no calories in a day
03:54
an impressive amount of changes happen
03:57
within the first 24 36 and especially
04:00
within the first 72 hours of no calories
04:02
first off your body uses up the storage
04:05
sugar that's in your liver and the sugar
04:08
that's in your blood the next thing that
04:09
happens is your insulin begins to fall
04:11
and even in my patients with insulin
04:14
resistance no calories turns into a
04:17
plummet of their insulin by 72 hours
04:20
insulin you might remember is that
04:22
hormone that stores fat so now that the
04:25
insulin is gone all of the storage tanks
04:27
within their body open up and fat gets
04:31
released to the circulation once that
04:33
fat is in circulation it turns on those
04:36
little mitochondria furnaces inside your
04:39
cells and your body begins to burn a
04:41
fuel that has energy beyond measure
04:44
every day is if they go without eating
04:46
and I mean zero eating the metabolism
04:49
within their body gets a little higher
04:51
and a little higher and a little higher
04:52
it seems counterintuitive when you say a
04:55
patient is fasting they have zero
04:57
calories and yet their metabolism is
05:00
growing but think for a minute about
05:01
evolution if you had run out of food and
05:04
your tribe was now in danger of
05:07
starvation and you needed to be the
05:09
person who goes and catches the food for
05:12
the tribe to eat it would not make sense
05:14
that your metabolism would shut down
05:15
your system needs that backup energy to
05:18
be able to sprint and go find and forage
05:21
for food there is a mechanism built into
05:24
our systems that when food is zero
05:27
metabolism Rises this seems
05:29
counterintuitive the first time I
05:30
explained it to patients I have a chart
05:32
of a patient who lost 50 pounds take a
05:35
look at what her calories consumed were
05:38
at the beginning of when we started our
05:41
relationship she was burning 800
05:43
calories a day and she'd been on this
05:45
low-calorie diet for at least six years
05:47
there were times she'd fall off and
05:49
every time she fell off the low calorie
05:52
diet she'd gain back not just the weight
05:54
she'd lost in the low calories but even
05:56
more as you examined her you saw very
05:58
dull skin her hair had fallen out her
06:02
mind was slow and even on our first
06:05
visit her speech was slurred these are
06:07
all signs of a chronically inflamed
06:10
malnourished system specifically her
06:13
brain when we went through the shock and
06:16
awe of eating 80% fat at first she
06:18
didn't believe it but her many years of
06:21
a low-calorie diet had clearly not
06:23
worked
06:24
she began eating what I told her to eat
06:26
and this high-fat low-carbohydrate diet
06:29
sparked some amazing changes in her for
06:32
starters she had a whole bunch of
06:34
inflammation stored up within her body
06:35
so she lost nearly 20 pounds in
06:38
first week and a half and this was
06:39
mostly water we've explained that in
06:41
other posts and that's expected but what
06:43
happens next is when she comes in for
06:46
week three
06:47
she beams with energy and I could tell
06:50
by the moment she walked in that her
06:52
metabolism was higher her speech was
06:54
clear she didn't slough her her feet
06:57
along the floor as she walked she
07:00
bounded into the clinic and had a
07:02
incredible story of renewed energy
07:05
improved mental focus and a spirit that
07:09
she thought was long gone in her life
07:11
she went on to lose 70 pounds that year
07:13
just using a ketogenic diet we only get
07:16
to find what metabolism stimulation
07:19
happens in her in a minute intermittent
07:21
fasting when she hit a plateau and the
07:23
plateau came mostly because she had
07:25
increased the carbs enough to turn back
07:28
on the insulin and after years of having
07:30
such a low metabolism her body was a
07:33
little skeptical to believe that this
07:35
high fat time was going to continue it
07:37
didn't take more than 30 carbohydrates a
07:40
day for her to start plateauing and not
07:43
being able to lose weight as she
07:45
returned to the clinic we were able to
07:46
start intermittent fasting and the first
07:50
fasting she made was for 36 hours
07:52
it was difficult she did find that some
07:56
of the tricks of the trade that I
07:57
encourage patients are to put Himalayan
07:59
salt crystals in your pocket and when
08:02
you watch what happens to hunger when
08:05
fasting is hunger comes in waves
08:08
unlike the hunger that you get which is
08:10
chronic and all the time in a low
08:12
calorie diet when you fast the waves of
08:16
hunger only happen for certain sections
08:19
of the day if you can be prepared that
08:20
during those sections you flood your
08:23
system with salt by putting one of those
08:25
crystals in your mouth it is a success
08:28
story again and again with my patients
08:30
she was able to do that she made it 36
08:32
hours and when she went to have
08:34
breakfast after 36 hours of fasting she
08:37
ate a high fat diet her favorite was
08:39
eggs mixed with Moo flour which is
08:43
olives in oil this combination has been
08:46
a stable for many of my patients it's
08:48
not too high in fat it's just enough
08:51
food that gets them
08:52
back to feeling like they're on the
08:54
eating schedule again as opposed to what
08:55
I did the first time when I fasted which
08:57
I felt like I deserved this really big
08:59
meal I in fact ate way too many carbs
09:02
and got kind of sick from it all I've
09:05
learned from not just my mistakes but
09:07
again what the literature says which is
09:08
eating one rather small meal in foods
09:12
that you like and also not too
09:15
overwhelming in volume when you come off
09:17
of your fast the punchline for this post
09:19
was that when patients hear about
09:22
intermittent fasting they instantly hear
09:24
the word starvation that sense of
09:26
constant hunger comes when your body has
09:29
a trickle of calories that go in and
09:31
this is what I find in patients who've
09:33
been on a low-calorie diet for years
09:34
instead intermittent fasting happens
09:37
where there is zero calories and when
09:40
they do eat they eat a low carbohydrate
09:43
high fat diet to continue that ketosis
09:47
type chemistry which keeps the
09:50
inflammation low continues to stimulate
09:52
the metabolism within their body and not
09:55
end up with a chronic starvation mode
09:57
found in a low calorie diet if you want
09:59
to learn more about this diet take a
10:01
look at the book I wrote anyway you can
10:03
but also tune into here and send me
10:05
questions below I'd be happy to try and
10:06
answer them
