Introduction:

This article examines the paradox of professionals who fail to practice what they preach, focusing particularly on doctors. Despite possessing knowledge about leading a healthy lifestyle, many doctors neglect their own well-being. Surprisingly, doctors with poorer health tend to be reluctant in providing health advice to their patients. Additionally, the article highlights how American health guidelines are often lowered because council members doubt the public's ability to meet higher standards. The public's perception of doctors' prestige outweighs the importance of leading by example. The article urges individuals to seek doctors who lead by example and emphasizes the significance of personal empowerment and research in making informed decisions about healthcare standards.

Do As I Say, Not As I Do:

You know that famous saying, "Do as I say, not as I do"? Well, it seems like some people in certain industries take it way too seriously. I mean, seriously, doctors are supposed to be the health gurus, but many of them don't even practice what they preach! It's mind-boggling. And get this, because some patients are in better shape than their doctors, these doctors actually hesitate to give them health advice. Can you believe it? A recent study from Hopkins confirmed that a doctor's own health and body weight can impact the quality of care they provide. So, if a doctor is a bit of a mess themselves, they might hold back on giving you the advice you need. Talk about a poor example!

American Doctors Are A Poor Example:

We're diving into some serious stuff here. It turns out that those American health guidelines we're all supposed to follow? Well, they're lower than they should be. Why? Because some of those council members think we can't handle the higher standards. So, they take the easy way out and lower the bar. Talk about taking the path of least resistance.

And here's the kicker: when it comes to health care, us Americans have this weird notion that being a doctor automatically makes someone credible. We trust them blindly, even more than our own ability to think for ourselves. It's like we're handing over the reins of our lives to these medical professionals.

You know, Robert Kiyosaki, the finance guru? He talks about how many financial advisors are just smooth-talking salespeople. We look to them for guidance, thinking they'll lead us to financial success. But guess what? They often have a conflict of interest. They might not offer the best solution for us because they're more focused on what benefits them, not us.

And guess what? Doctors can be guilty of the same thing. When we're sick, they tend to whip out their prescription pads or recommend harsh medical procedures because, well, that's what they sell. It's like they're running a business, not always putting our best interests first.

But here's the truth, my friends: doctors are salespeople in disguise. They're in it to make money, just like anyone else. So, we can't always assume their recommendations are in our best interest. We need to be smart, do our own research, and question their suggestions.

Death By Medicine:

You know those medical professionals we trust with our lives? Well, here's a little secret: they're not just in it for our well-being. They're running a business, and that business is all about making money. Shocking, right?

In this mind-blowing documentary called "Death by Medicine," they uncovered a pharmaceutical company that had a whopping 49,000 health professionals on their payroll. And what were these folks doing? Pushing drugs onto their patients. Talk about a twisted game.

But hold onto your chimichangas, because it gets even crazier. There's this sweet little governmental website where you can dig into how much money these big pharma companies are throwing at doctors in the good ol' US of A. All you need is a practitioner's name, and bam! It breaks down the dirty details.

You'll see which companies have been lining their pockets and the nature of those payments. We're talking consulting fees, research moolah, travel and lodging expenses, grants, and even food and drinks. It's like a buffet of corruption.

And get this: you can also check out how much these companies have dished out in total. Take Purdue Pharma, the folks behind OxyContin, for example. They've coughed up a staggering $10,977,788 in payments. And guess what? Nearly 60 percent of that cash was spent on "compensation for services other than consulting." Yeah, they're not fooling anyone.

So, my friends, don't be fooled either. Peel back the curtain, do your research, and uncover the truth. These medical professionals might not always have your best interests at heart. Stay vigilant, stay informed, and never let them play you like a chump.

And remember, you can find all this juicy info at this link: https://openpaymentsdata.cms.gov/search/companies. Dive in, and let the truth set you free!

Finding Healthy Doctors:

Step one: Find yourself a doctor who actually practices what they preach. Thanks to technology, you've got the power to dig up some dirt on these guys. Check out their pictures and see if they work out, eat healthy, and, most importantly, what kind of health advice they recommend. You don't want some couch potato telling you to hit the gym, do you?

Step two: Knowledge is power, my friends. Take control of your own life and don't let anyone take advantage of you, whether it's your health care provider or your financial guru. You gotta be in charge. Remember, everyone has their own health methods, so figure out what works for you.

And finally, don't just blindly accept the standards your doctor throws at you. Do some research, people! We've even provided you with the tools to make an informed decision. Take charge of your health standards and set them for yourself. Trust me, it's worth it.

So there you have it, straight from the mouth (or text, I guess) of yours truly. Go out there, find yourself a doctor who walks the talk, empower yourself with knowledge, and never settle for less.

Before you use the database, there are a few things you should understand

Primarily, just because your doctor has received money from a pharmaceutical company, it doesn’t mean they’re stooges from some evil pharmaceutical corporate giant. The majority of the money is likely to be completely innocent and simply the way business is done. To buy and sell drugs, just like any product, companies send sales representatives to potential buyers, in this case, doctors.

The fear for some people is that big pharma has "bought off" doctors into buying large amounts of a certain drug. This could hypothetically lead to the doctor being pressured to prescribe that certain drug, regardless of whether it is medically and scientifically the best option.

However, laws are in place to limit this from happening however, that does not mean this does not happen.

Introduction:

Maintaining balance in life is crucial for overall fulfillment, focusing on health, wealth, happiness, and success. Prioritize physical and mental well-being, financial stability, positive relationships, and setting goals. Optimize your brain by addressing personality traits, healing past trauma, adopting a healthy lifestyle, and staying open to new discoveries. Romantic relationships are vital, as brain chemicals play a role in attraction. Health issues can affect love chemistry, leading to dysfunctional marriages. Getting health, money, and relationships right contributes to a happy life. Remember, everyone's definition of fulfillment may vary, so reflect on your values to achieve balance and satisfaction.

The Good Life:

If you could fix any area of your life what would it be? Health, wealth, happiness, or success? Most people focus on one or two particular areas of their lives, and the rest of their lives end up in shambles.

In order to live a truly happy and fulfilled life, you must live a balanced lifestyle. What you will notice when you do find balance is, once you get one area of your life handled, the rest of your life tends to balance out as well.

[adrotate group="32

GET YOUR MONEY RIGHT!

One primary area of focus for many people is their finances. If you listen to people like Tai Lopez and Grant Cardone they will tell you that you need to get your money right! Because money impacts so many different areas of your life.

[adrotate group="32"]

GET YOUR HEALTH RIGHT

The first area of your life you should focus on is your health. Not only your physical health but also your emotional and mental health too. Dr. Daniel Armen from the Armen Clinic, who has conducted over 83,000 brain scans, found those with healthy brains are happier, healthier, wealthier, wiser, more creative, and more innovative.

If you are struggling with any of these issues it is because of having a toxic brain.

Charles Eugster, a 93-year-old bodybuilder in his TED TALKS speech, explains that, at the current rate, 50% of the US population will be obese by 2030, when we are obese in the front part of the brain, called the pre-frontal cortex, shrinks.

Charles goes on: "The prospect of the most powerful nation in the world by 2030 having a shrinking brain is frightening. What's worse than being broke? Being fat, broke, and dumb."

If taking better care of your health to look good is not enough to motivate you; than perhaps for the sake of your finances it is, because how successful can you be with a shrunken brain?

The people who join programs like Tai Lopez and Grant Cardon fail not because their programs didn't work, but rather because their brains are not healthy, and thus they procrastinate and engage in self-destructive behaviors.

For you to be successful you need to optimize your brain, to lose weight, to get healthy, and to make more money. 

By optimizing your brain to make more money we will:

1) We will address how to cultivate the personality traits that are the greatest predictors of wealth.

2) How to heal from past trauma that can cause us to self-sabotage ourselves.

3) Lifestyle, As you have already seen because of poor lifestyle choices this can cause our brain to shrink and hampers our brains ability to perform.

4) Because we don't know what we don't know. Every month, new discoveries about the brain are being made and we may yet not know what we are about to discover to optimize your brain to make more money.

[adrotate group="32"]

GET YOUR ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS RIGHT

Nothing brings us as much joy or suffering as our romantic relationships, which is another very important area of our lives.

Love is not as simple as "boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl." There are a series of brain chemicals that attract us to certain types of people, who have a complimentary brain chemical, and thus causes us to fall in love. This is why scientists use the expression of "chemistry" to describe romantic relationships.

However, if either the husband or wife is unhealthy, they will not be able to properly produce these love chemicals at the adequate level. This will create a dysfunctional marriage. In addition, the #1 Cause for divorce is money problems.

#2 Reason for divorce is neglect, due to overworking.

Many marriage counselors have the lowest success rates of any counselors because they teach you how to get along with each other not the biology and what makes you attracted to each other.

[adrotate group="32"]

#1 Get your health RIGHT!  #2 Get your money RIGHT! #3 Get your romance or your marriage RIGHT! #4 GET YOUR LIFE RIGHT!

#1 Get your health RIGHT! - By getting your health right you will be in the proper state of mind to #2 Get your money RIGHT! And when you get your money right you will #3 Get your marriage RIGHT! because by getting your money right you will reduce the risk of the major cost of divorce you might otherwise have.

And by getting your marriage right you will have a happy life and #4 GET YOUR LIFE RIGHT!

This is the key to The Good Life is your Health, Wealth, Happiness, and Success Before we address how to optimizing your brain. We will address the keys to living a happy and successful life.

Conclusion:

In his 25-year study of the most successful people, Napoleon Hill's classic writings revealed 17 principles of success and 33 reasons why people fail. If you have ever failed to achieve something in life, it is likely due to one of these 33 reasons. Additionally, there are six factors that cause individuals to self-sabotage. Psychologists have discovered two personality traits that not only greatly predict wealth but also influence other areas of our lives, such as health, leading to increased joy and happiness. I invite you to take a performance-based personality test to determine if you possess these two personality traits, which are strong indicators of success. If you don't have them, don't worry, as most people are not born with these traits. We will guide you on how to cultivate them at millionaireTest.alphalifestyleacademy.com.

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. 

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.

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.

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! 

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.

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.

So far you are doing:

1) Intermittent fasting
2) Skip breakfast - Do not eat before 11 am
3) Walking
4) You are now getting the proper nutrition you need.

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.

So Let Us Continue

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.

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.
