Summary

Each year millions of people start their year off with a New Year's resolution. Coming in at #1 is, of course, losing weight.  In an episode of the Steve Harvey show, they showed that 92% of people will not accomplish their goal by the end of the year.

Have you ever joined a gym, gone on a diet, or bought a fitness program? If so, what happened that derailed you from reaching and keeping your goal?  What brought you here to re-evaluate what you can do differently? 

In this fitness program, we not only address your barriers, but we will consider, on a much deeper level, what you've been doing, what's worked, what hasn't, strategies you've tried, issues at home, stress, anxiety depression, past hurts and traumas that may cause you to self-sabotage yourself.

So first, congratulations on recognizing that perhaps what you did in the past didn't work as well for you as you might have liked.  Also, that you are still motivated to explore other options and change your future!  You have taken the first step.  Let's get started.

How can you take the food you enjoy eating and still lose weight?  You may have to be mindful of what you buy and how you prepare the foods.  Everything in moderation.  We often think of going hungry and depriving ourselves when we are trying to lose weight.  Shift your mindset and challenge yourself to live a healthy life.  Plus! All the research that is done shows 70% of people who go on a diet will gain all the weight back and then some.  How can you be in the 30% that lose weight, keep it off and live a healthier life?  If you are craving a certain food, enjoy just a couple teaspoons full and then put it away.  You will stay on course and have satiated your hunger.

Well, the reason is something that the fitness industry, as a whole, doesn't want to address.  In today's article, we are going to address the "6 Things You Should Know Before You Start Your Next Diet!"

1) Self Image: 

Self-esteem is directly related to our self-image.  Working to build a strong self-image can permeate all aspects of your life.  When you feel healthy and strong, when you feel financially secure, you know that your life is of value, you are making a difference and have a positive attitude, the sky is the limit!  We all have our moments where we are feeling low and have to work hard to move beyond it.   Look for ways to boost your self-image and empower your life.  Do you like your eyes?  Are you smart, kind, or persistent?  If you don't see the person you want to be today,  consider your potential.  

Moving into a positive mindset for losing weight is key to your success.  Seeing yourself as being healthy and strong will prepare you for your transition to weight loss.

2) Self Talk

The key to changing the way you see yourself is to create a new story. We've heard the quote: "Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth" by Joseph Goebbels.  While he is not the best role model, it does ring true.  You are creating a new frame of mind that will become your reality.  If you can see it, you can be it!

Louise Hay says: "With every word and every thought you create your future." So what do your words say about your future?

This is done by repeating the same phrase over and over again to ourselves such as:

* [First & Last Name] is marathon runner
*[First & Last Name] has a 6 pack
*[First & Last Name] loves eating vegetables 
Etc...

By reading it, speaking it, and hearing yourself say it multiple times a day over several weeks, you are imprinting it into your mind and changing your internal dialog.  Then when you are facing a choice moving forward, should I sit on the couch watching TV or go out for a walk, you will be increasing your possibility of making decisions that will move you toward your goal.  

[adrotate group="32"]

3) Manage Your Mental Dialog

It is not only important that you create a new self-image through self-talk but, that you also limit the negative thoughts as much as possible.

In the following video with Dr. Joe Dispenzia, he explains that when you have a habit of negative thinking, it can sabotage you.  Breaking this pattern is pivotal to your success.  

You are going to have negative thoughts, however, once you have a negative thought you need to refocus your mind and decide how to change the wording.  For example, if your thoughts are "I can't do this, it's too hard" press the "pause" button in your mind and say ten times "I can do this and it's easy!"

You may believe you cannot achieve the body you want, however, if you tell yourself you can, eventually, you will believe it.  It will become your new reality.

4) Act As If

If you were in perfect shape, how would you act? Would you carry yourself differently? Would you be more confident? Most likely, you would be. You would have energy and your mood would improve.  You need to be an actor playing the part of yourself in the shape you are working towards. Fake it until you make it.  When you do this enough times and for long enough, your brain is trained to no longer see your body as it is now but rather how you want it to be.  You will take the steps to achieve this or any goal you have in life.  Tap into the power of your mind.

Sports psychologist, Martin Haggar, in his TED X presentation, talks about the mental game of sports athletes who spend hours imagining themselves making the shot and the ball going in the hoop. He also mentions how salespeople visualize giving their presentation in their minds and how well it goes.  What do you see for yourself?

If your goal is to lose weight, you need to no longer see yourself in the condition you are currently in but imagine yourself with the body you want to achieve.  If you want to be able to hike, climb a mountain, swim, or another activity, visualize yourself doing it.

ATTENTION! The following video is provided by a 3rd party vendor. If the video is no longer available, it is because the owner of the video or Youtube removed the video from their servers. We apologize for any inconvenience.

When you see yourself in your mind having the body of your dreams, then you will be willing to make the sacrifices necessary to achieve this kind of body.

5) Chunking

When you decide to improve any area of your life, many times we look at how far we have to go and thus get overwhelmed. So instead break it up into smaller tasks.

The problems with so many diet and fitness programs are that they require you to make too big of a change too quickly.  However, when you follow the simple steps outlined in this program, which walks you through the entire process of making small changes over time, it can give you drastic results.

6) Visualize Your Day

Instead of focusing on all the weight you have to lose, concentrate on what you need to do in the next hour.  Then once that hour has passed, look at what has to happen in the next hour and the hour after that and the day after that and so on...  If you do, you can reach your goal.  You are "chunking" and breaking your goals down into manageable, achievable steps.                                                                                            

So close your eyes and take a deep breath.  Picture a healthy, fit version of yourself.  What do you see?  What are you doing with your lean, strong body?  How do you feel?  Hold onto that image and your feelings and come back to it often.  It is your future if you are willing to work for it.  Good luck and let's get started!

Conclusion

It's not enough to know what to do to change your life; rather, it's crucial to develop the behaviors that enhance the likelihood of achieving lasting change. A specific set of personality traits or behaviors can ensure your success. While some individuals are naturally endowed with these traits, others, like you and me, must cultivate them. I invite you to take the performance-based personality test to determine if you possess any of these traits. Even if you don't, don't worry, as we will guide you in developing these traits at 10Xhabits.alphalifestyleacademy.com

The dream of every classic Disney fairy tale is that the Princess and Prince Charming will live happily ever after. Walt Disney is great at SELLING all of us the fantasy that everybody wants! However, how many people get the HAPPY EVER AFTER they dream about?

Some of us understand how to have a great career, save or invest money, have a great body and know how to keep it, but how many of us put in the effort to learning how to have a great marriage.

Will Smith lays out the principles of success.

Will Smith at the Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards said: "There have been millions and gazillions of people who have lived before us and there is no new problem that someone has not written the solution down in a book."

No matter what issues you face in your life there is someone whom you can learn from that has figured out the solution.

As we have stated before, the average millionaire spends 60 min. each and every day educating themselves on business and financial matters, which aligns with what the bible says.  It says in Joshua 1:8: This book of the Law should not depart from your mouth, and you must read it in an undertone day and night, in order to observe carefully all that is written in it; for then your way will be successful and then you will act wisely.

So if you want to get in shape, you should spend 60 minutes each day educating yourself on fitness and reading nutrition materials. If you want to have a great marriage, you should spend 60 min. each and every day educating yourself on Relationships. We created the "Alpha Lifestyle Academy Community" as a shortcut. Providing you the tools and resources, so you can experience the same results for yourself. 

My background is as a business consultant working with the ultra-rich. I wanted to combine my business and relationship experiences to help others. Most people go into a career trying to figure it out as they go along which is also how most people go into marriage. However, the truly successful people hire consultants and advisors trying to find out everything they can on their chosen vocation.  This can also be helpful in a marriage.

Over the years, the government has used a portion of our tax dollars trying to see what all successful people have in common. What we know is that the most savvy people do not try to figure it out on their own.  They follow a proven path to success by following a business plan.

In the same is true in marriages, the government has also spent billions of dollars researching what all successful marriages have in common. Now you can build a relationship plan similar to a business plan.  You will see that the qualities all successful couples have in common.

How Smart People Solve Their Problems And Why 90% People Ignore This!

If You Could Fix Any Area Of Your Life What Would It Be?

Listen up, folks! We've got millions of peeps out there wrestling with life's curveballs. But here's the deal – no matter what you're going through, there's always been some wise soul who's walked that same path and found the golden ticket out!

As the legendary Will Smith once dropped some knowledge bombs, "There have been millions and gazillions of people who have lived before us and there is no new problem you can have that someone has not written the solution down in a book." And you know what? Old Willy boy's onto something. It's harmony with Joshua 1:8 from the Bible said, "This Book of the Law as it should not depart from your mouth, and you must read it in an undertone day and night, in order to observe carefully all that is written in it; for then your way will be successful and then you will act wisely."

So here's the deal, amigos – I might be wrestling with a problem you've already aced, and vice versa. Just 'cause life ain't serving you rainbows and unicorns right now, doesn't mean it's a forever deal. I mean, think about it – the average Joe spends a whopping 6 hours glued to the TV, and another 2 hours hypnotized by their cell phone, usually doing some pretty unproductive stuff (like Tik Tok dance videos, smashing buttons in video games, texting, and FaceTiming). Why not channel that time into something that'll kick your life into high gear?

So, bottom line – let's swap those screen binges for a dose of wisdom and problem-solving. Time's ticking, and we've got a world of solutions waiting in those dusty old books.

Most People Would Rather Complain About Their Problems Rather Than Doing Something About It

Well, strap in, folks, 'cause we've all heard that old chestnut – "history repeats itself." Yep, it's like a never-ending deja vu parade, and you know what that means? We've got a treasure trove of wisdom passed down from folks who've walked this bumpy road before us, whether they're kicking it on Earth or hanging out in the great beyond.

But here's the kicker – most folks waste precious time running away from their problems, instead of rolling up their sleeves and hunting down solutions like a boss.

Take, for instance, the money saga. People love to whine about it, but here's the scoop – billions of our hard-earned tax dollars have gone into cracking the financial code, yet most of us just let it gather dust. The average Joe buys fewer than 2 books a year. Now, on the flip side, your average millionaire? Well, they dedicate a solid 60 minutes daily to soak in that sweet knowledge about business and finances.

Warren Buffett? That dude devours 800-1000 pages daily. Bill Gates? He's on reading vacations. Even Rick Harrison from Pawn Stars goes all-in with 4 hours a day. My first mentor dropped 90 grand on college for a shiny 30k-a-year job. But when he splurged a hundred grand on business books, courses, and seminars, he was raking in a million bucks within three years.

So here's the deal, folks – whatever life's tossing your way, instead of drowning in TV, video games, and a futile escape act, invest that time in hunting down solutions. Know thyself, and if your ears are your best pals, grab some audiobooks and programs. Listen in the car, before snoozeville, or at home sweet home.

Now, check out that graph in your workbook. The bottom 20%? They only take action when pain's got them by the throat. Then you've got the 60% cruising along in "status quo" land – not thrilled but not rock bottom either.

learning-to-live

But here's where the party's at – the top 20%, the "high performers." They're living the good life, but they ain't settling. See, the average Joe faces some major curveball every 18 months or so. So instead of twiddling their thumbs and waiting for trouble, high performers are the "proactive" bunch. They see problems from a mile away and take 'em down before they even show up.

So, where do you stand on this wild graph of life? Are you reacting or proactively owning your destiny? It's time to step up and be the hero of your own story!

You Were Not Born Knowing How To Walk, Talk Or Drive A Car Were You?

These are all skills you learned when you needed them. Making money, saving money, getting in shape, even your marriage and relationships are all skills you learned when the time was right. We are each different and don't develop these skills at the same age and in some cases, we never learn them.  

So no matter what issues you have in life, you should spend 60 minutes each and every day educating yourself on the subjects. However, society today wants the fast version and that's where we come in.

Don't Leave Your Live In Someone Else's Hands

Well, well, well, look who's craving that sweet, sweet "instant gratification." Yep, we're living in an age where we want results served up on a silver platter, and we want 'em now, no sweat required. But here's the kicker – in our quest for the quick fix, we're missing out on the glorious feeling of internal gratification that comes from good old-fashioned hard work and learning the ropes.

Here's a newsflash, folks – most of us are handing the reins of our lives over to someone else. Take being sick, for example. Relying solely on your doc to fix you up? According to the American Medical Association, that's a one-way ticket to potential mistreatment, and guess what – it's one of the leading causes of DEATH! So why not take the bull by the horns and wrestle your life back into shape?

Don't just dump your health, finances, and relationships into someone else's lap. When you decide to seize control of your destiny by exploring the solutions others have discovered throughout history, that's when the real party starts. You'll be living a life that's not just productive but dripping with happiness.

How To Live A Balanced Lifestyle

Well, if you're aiming for that ultimate recipe for a happy, fulfilled life, it's all about keeping things balanced, my friends. When you manage to nail a few key areas of your life and keep 'em under control, it's like magic – the rest of the pieces just fall right into place. Yours truly spends hours every single day expanding my knowledge across the board and cooking up a plan to level up.

You know, there's that old saying, "It's not what you know but who you know." But I'm here to tell you, it's more than that – it's not just "who you are, who you know," but also "what they know." My greatest senseis and mentors have handed down their wisdom, and I've whipped up a shortcut to get all the different parts of your life into harmony. So, no matter what curveballs life hurls at you, there's always a lesson to be learned – whether from the living legends or the dearly departed.

And here's the kicker, folks – I don't think anyone ever truly crosses the finish line when it comes to self-improvement. It's a lifelong adventure, and trust me, it can be one heck of an exciting ride if you let it. So here's the deal – I'm extending an invitation, folks. Join me on this epic journey of self-improvement, and together, we'll crank up the excitement to a whole new level!

Watch Out For Healthy Junk Food!

Watch Out For Healthy Junk Food!

At this point, you are giving your body what it needs with vegetable smoothies which will help you make healthier choices, NOT BY DIETING, but rather by giving your body what it needs to diminish your junk food cravings. The problem with "so-called health foods" is they're advertising junk food as being good for you. In reality, they don't give your body what it needs. Many of these so-called healthy foods are filled with sugars and toxic chemicals that over time will lead to serious health consequences. 

I have never been obese, however, I have had skinny fat. In other words, I looked skinny until I took my shirt off.

So I ate many of the same diet foods you have tried, however, again many of these so-called diet foods are really junk food in disguise. There is a biochemical reason why eating these health foods causes us to gain weight and be unhealthy. We have been conditioned to look at the calories however, not all calories are created equal. 

For generations, we have been sold the idea we need meat and dairy for protein, however, as you see in the research below, broccoli has more protein than meat and dairy per calorie. Animal protein contains IGF-1 which the research shows increases your chance of cancer by 400%, and if you are above the age of 55-to-65, meat increases your odds of cancer by 600%.

Just like cigarette companies did in the past, food companies have spent billions of dollars trying to advertise their foods as being good for you.  They are actually more addictive because they release dopamine in the brain which are the same chemicals that are released in the brain with cocaine and intercourse.

So these foods can be quite addictive and cause high blood pressure, cancer, and diabetes, among other health issues.

Again, one of the reasons so many diet and fitness programs fail is because it expects people to go cold turkey. So in addition to giving the body what it needs Shakeology which kills your junk food cravings.

So we take things in small incremental stages. You may not be willing and able to make drastic changes in your eating habits all at once but if you make small lifestyle changes like intermittent fasting over time, these small changes will have a big impact on your health.  Here are the steps I took in my journey.

Stage #1) I gave up junk food and replaced it with fruit.  I had watched a video on Youtube about raw food and I became a fruitarian eating mostly bananas in which I lost 11 lbs. in my first 4 days. This decision wasn't healthy because the natural sugars from the fruit weren't giving me what I needed. However, because I was not giving my body what it needed, I lapsed into my same old bad habits.  It is important that when you give one thing up, you should replace it with something else.  Hopefully a healthy choice like exercise.

Stage #2) Oats - On a fruitarian diet, I would feel this pit in my stomach even though I was not hungry.  Oats seemed to fill this gap.  I started off with brown sugar with my oats, then exchanged brown sugar with pudding. I would mix it in with my oatmeal, exchange pudding for honey, and then honey for cinnamon, and finally ate only oats.

I poured my oats into a cup and added water.  After some time, I then started adding broccoli and other green leafy vegetables to my diet because broccoli has more protein than steak. I added ranch dressing with the broccoli, then moved from the dressing to hummus, and then finally just broccoli.

In the video, "The End of Dieting – How to prevent disease" by Dr. Joel Furham M.D, he suggests a plant-based diet, and because of IGF-1, he does not endorse the consumption of meat and dairy products. However, no matter what changes you are planning to make in your diet, to reduce your junk food cravings, you have to give your body what it needs.  By eating nutrition-rich foods or making them into a vegetable smoothie you can meet this need. To stop overeating and kill your junk food cravings you may decide to detox with our 3-day or 21-day detox,

If you were a smoker and stopped, your body would start detoxing itself if you go cold turkey and experience withdrawal symptoms. A smoker may feel ill, dizzy, etc, at first depending on how strong your health is.  You should consider medical intervention from your physician.

We are the fattest, sickest nation in the world, and with the #1 killers being cancer, diabetes, and heart disease we want to encourage you to take better care of your health.  We want to challenge you to live a healthy life an

Stage 4, Kill Your Junk Food Cravings

The reason people fail when deciding to start losing weight, get in shape or get healthy is..... People think they can immediately change their lifestyle habits but they don't understand it takes time to adapt to these changes.  The key is cutting cravings.

Even though we are eating enough, we are still malnourished because we tend to eat low-quality foods.  We need the proper nutrition in our bodies, and if we don't get it, we overeat by consuming every few hours.  If we had the right food we would eat less.

In the video "The End of Dieting - How to prevent disease", Dr. Joel Furhman M.D suggests high nutrient-rich foods that are low in calories. He recommends a daily diet of cruciferous vegetables which are dark green vegetables like broccoli, and spinach, then raw nuts, 1/2 cup beans, legumes, streamed greens and NO MEATS, SUGARS, SALTS, etc...to kill our food addiction.

However, this is too big of a jump for most people because you may not be excited about eating broccoli, and kale which is why many people turn to what we call as fake health food, which is food that is marketed to be healthy but is not.  Much of this healthy food may lead to long-term health problems down the road.

Instead of giving in to our junk food addictions, we want to add high-quality food to meals.  Here is another key to weight loss.  For many of us, we don't chew our food enough times to get the full nutrition out of it.

We overcook the food and that removes most of its nutritional value.  Plus we chew our food a couple of times to get the taste out and quickly swallow it.  To get the best nutritional value out of food, we need to chew it enough times to break it down into a soft consistency. 

One of the best ways to do this is by drinking vegetable smoothies, not juices. Juices have less fiber and when we drink fruit juice, there is no difference between orange juice and soda.  We need the fiber to fill us up and avoid the sugar that goes straight to our organs.  Smoothies, on the other hand, still contain the fiber we need and slow down the absorption of sugar into our bodies. Vegetable smoothies release nutrition for our bodies to get the most out of it.

I started out filling up on liquids and post poning my eating periods to later on during the day only eating 1-2 meals per day. Then I started to transition from liquids to drinking vegetable smoothies.

You need to have a balance! Yes, you need to include kale and other greens to get the proper nutrition your body needs, however, you need to make your smoothie tasty enough to finish it.  You also should keep in mind not to overdo it on the fruits. Just because fruit is natural doesn't mean it is always healthy. The fiber is what slows down the absorption of sugars however, sugar is sugar.

Over time you can begin to lessen the amount of fruit that goes into them.  If you are new to drinking smoothies, you may not know the best portion sizes for each ingredient to yield the highest nutritional value and have it still taste good.  Here is a sample for you to consider.
Vegtable smoothies is an easy transition for people to make because by adding fruit you can make your smoothies quite tasty. You may have heard not to add fruit to your smoothie which is partially true.

You will want to add greens to your smoothies because even 1 lb. of Kale has more than enough nutrition for the recommended daily dosage.  It also adds almost 15 grams of protein and is a great source of Vitamins A and C!  If you need vitamins in your diet, as long as you include a variety of fruits and vegetables in your smoothies, you will reach your daily recommendations.

The Knowledge Of The 1% Percent

[adrotate group="1"]

[adrotate group="20"]

For centuries the secret of wealth has been passed on from one generation to the next throughout the ages through oral traditions in small groups and organizations of people.

Andrew Carnegie who at one time was the richest person in America however, in what may like to appear that Andrew Carnegie wanted to make up for his sin in the way he acquired in his wealth by writing out his life plan  to spend the his last years giving all his wealth away. He also wanted to share this knowledge with the world.

Andrew Carnegie decided to do what he could to never let anyone experience the pain of poverty every again, he commissioned Napoleon Hill and introduced him to 500 of the most successful businessmen in the word to do a 25 year study of what these men have in common with each other which was released in 1925 as a correspondence course through mail through a series of booklets and in 1928 released it as the “Laws of Success” in one volume however, Henry Ford felt the “Laws of Success” revealed to many secrets and would create too much completion for him. So in 1931 after the death of Andrew Carnegie, they released as the classic “Think And Grow Rich”.

Which was marketed as a simplified version, however, in reality, it was nothing of a sort. “Think And Grow Rich” neglected to reveal the true secrets of success which was Andrew Carney dying wish.

In the movie the Matrix, Morpheus offers Neuro a red pill and a blue pill. If he takes the blue pill he will forget everything he just learned and will return to his normal life however, if he takes the red pill he will see the world as it really is.

I am offering you the red pill. To see the world as it really is which is the knowledge of the 1% which is a secret the is carefully guarded for many of the world's top elites. You can continue your struggle, or you can be freed and see how easy life really is.

You may know how to work for money but unless you understand how to earn money you are doing your family a huge disservice by neglecting your family of your precious time and resources because you are working way harder and longer than you need to.

In order to work for money you just have to know how to do a certain skill, however, in order to earn money you have to understand the type of simple mathematics that many of you were never taught when you went to school.

You do not understand how your car works, how you can send messages through the air and send and receive messages on your cell phones and thus you do not need to understand the science of why this works.

So you do not need to understand this; in order to benefit from it.

What Time Of The Day Do You Burn The Most Fat?

Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read on the Website. Full medical clearance from a licensed physician should be obtained before beginning or modifying any diet, exercise, or lifestyle program, and your physician should be informed of all nutritional change

At this point, you are hopefully skipping breakfast or at least postponing the first meal of your day for as long as possible by filling up on liquids.

The next step is eating during the proper stage of your digestion. This is the secret to burning fat! Of course, it is also helpful if you make the best eating choices, however, you may need to exhibit willpower to do so at this stage. Take small steps but continue to move forward. If you make too many changes at once, you may become frustrated and give up. This is why we recommend a transition diet by making small changes over time that will give you drastic results.

What I found to be successful for me was to go to McDonald's every morning and buy a large cup of sweet tea. I then filled up four cups with ice and kept refilling them with the sweet tea over the course of the day. This would keep me satiated until 7:00 or 8:00 at night. At the time, I continued to eat the same junk food that I had already been eating.

I followed this routine for several weeks. During this time period, I was eating in the proper stage of my digestion but was not focusing specifically on my weight. (See more on this below.)

I had noticed that my clothes felt looser but wasn't weighing myself on a regular basis. On Mondays, I would visit my friend's timeshare and hang out at the pool all day. As I was walking around the area, I happened to walk by a large mirror and I had to take a second look at my reflection. I had lost so much weight from my mid-section I didn't recognize myself. I weighed myself when I returned home and discovered I had lost 21 lbs within 2 months without "dieting".

According to an article published on Mayclinic.org, in general, to lose 1 1/2 pounds (0.7 kilograms) a week, you need to reduce your daily calories by 500 to 750 calories. however, you can speed up this process by eating in the proper stage of your digestion. This same article also shows that you need to burn 3,500 more calories than you take in to lose 1 lb.

https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/weight-loss/in-depth/calories/art-20048065

So how was I able to average 2 lbs. a day? Because I understood how and when to eat to maximize my fat burning and when we are finished, I believe you can also see successful weight loss. The following are strategies for your consideration.

For 5 to 6 hours after you eat, if you work out or engage in strenuous activity, you are more likely to burn off the calories from the food you just ate instead of fat that your body is storing. Hold off until later to exercise.

Six to eight hours after you eat, when you exercise, the food you ate earlier has been digested and you start to burn Glycogen which is sugar.

Finally, 8 to 12 hours after you eat, you are in the proper stage of your digestion to start effectively burning fat. So during this third stage of your digestion, you should engage in physical activity in order to burn the most fat. Even when you're sleeping, your burning fat. when you go to sleep about 8 hours after you eat you are then in the proper stage of your digestion to start burning fat.

This is why many people go for a morning run or go to the gym early in the morning. If you are experiencing a slight hunger, moderate physical activity like a set of push-ups can be an appetite suppressant.

In a video entitled "What Really Happens When We Fast" found on Dr. Eric Berggs Youtube channel, he describes additional benefits of fasting.

ATTENTION! The following video is provided by a 3rd party vender. If the video is no longer available it is because the owner of the video or Youtube removed the video from their servers. we apologize for any inconvenience.

As I reviewed above, there are 3 stages to our digestion, however, the more hours we push off our eating in the day, the increased benefits you can experience. At this point, it may be just enough to skip breakfast, as you continue building upon your willpower you may be able to postpone your eating until when most people eat dinner however, over time the more hours you will be able to postpone your eating.

In a video entitled "What Really Happens When We Fast" found on Dr. Eric Berg's Youtube channel, he describes additional benefits of fasting.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhmtoAYVRSo

During fasting, you should be postponing your eating no more than 12, 18, or at most 24 hours. You should periodically consider extended fasting periods of at least 24 hours, 48 hours, or 72 hours. After 24 hours, you will experience a spike in growth hormones which assists in fat burning, anti-aging, healing joints, and producing new proteins. Your body starts going into autophagy where it starts to repair itself and reverse poor health issues you may be experiencing. At the 24 hour mark, your body is depleted of glycogen and begins to use ketones as an alternative fuel.

If you have ever done an extended fast, the first 24 hours is the hardest because these ketones suppress your appetite, and diminishes any junk food cravings you may have. Additional benefits include reduced inflammation and your digestion begins to heal, and your heart and brain function improve by producing new brain cells. You will experience the most benefits after 48 and 72 hours of prolonged fasting which you should only do periodically.

To get started, you should delay eating until after the 3rd stage of your digestion so that you can experience the maximum fat-burning benefits because fat is our most efficient energy source.

As with any change in your dietary habits and suggestions given in this post, it is recommended that you speak with a physician for guidance.

Step 3: Now, here's where the magic happens. Take a gander at those debt amounts, and let's find the one that's ready to be vanquished first. How do you do that? By focusing on the debt you can eliminate the fastest, and that usually means paying the minimum amount. It's like spotting the weakest link in a chain and breaking it!

But then, there's the good debt – yeah, you heard me right, good debt. This is the kind of debt that puts money back in your pocket. Let me tell you about one of my mentors, the guy had a hefty $90,000 in student loans and another $90,000 in credit card debt, a grand total of $180,000 in debt.

But here's where things get interesting – he went even deeper into debt by investing $8,000 in an income opportunity, and guess what? In just 30 days, that investment churned out a cool $10,000.
