Hey Guys, im glad you’re interested in the latest cutting edge science in both weight loss/weight management and longevity!

It has been proven beyond all doubt that consuming less calories and fasting intermittently can extend your lifespan by 30-50% that’s a whopping amount of quality time!

There is a growing “longevity and weight loss” intelligentsia who are living this lifestyle, and yes its a lifestyle not a diet, although it does touch on good nutrition. Ultimately its a form of caloric restriction that allows you freedom to eat what you love on the times you eat.

there is a nutritionist author named Brad Pilon who has made it his business to provide a really awesome guide to this new lifestyle its called

The Science Behind it

Intermittent fasting works because it creates a caloric deficit, ie you are eating less than you burn and metabolize, what happens next is the miracle that causes all the prescribed benefits- your body adapts to this starvation mode by switching on certain genes/chromosomes that produce a life enhancing miracle called

here are the benefits:

1. Reduces insulin resistance
2. Increases your resistance to stress(specifically your neurological system/brain copes better)
3. Enhances your brains cognitive ability(makes you smarter and sharper)
4. Enhances your cardiovascular systems efficiency
5. reduces risk of coronary artery disease
6. improves your resitance to heart attacks
7. enhances your resistance to strokes
8. regulates and reduces your chances of getting high blood pressure
9. Increases insulin sensitivity
10. slows down your age related mental decline
11. it significantly reduces factors leading to diabetes and the development of type 2 diabetes
12. increases your resistence to radiation!
13. reduces triglycerides responsible for heart disease
14. increases high density lipoprotien in women(good cholesterol)
15. increases lifespan between 30-50%
16. because it reduces cell proliferation, by turning on a “preserve” gene, instead of replacing cells it trys to repair and preserve,
17. less cell proliferation= less chance of genetic errors=less chance of cancer!!
18. reduces inflammatory response
19. Reduces oxidative stress(free radical damage)
20. Increases BDNF-brain-derived neurotrophic factor- which makes you happier, smarter, lose weight and more insulin sensitive.
21. Increases Sir2/SIRT1 (a longevity gene)extends lifespan by suppressing DNA instability
22. improves memory

How it works

The process by which intermittent fasting works can be summarized by its beneficial action in reducing
free radical damage and glycation damage(you getting pickled by too much sugar in your system) the two major reasons we age! in addition, making us more resistant to the damaging effects of stress on our neurological system, keeping us smart and suppressing and preventing aging.

That’s 22 Reasons to seriously consider intermittent fasting as a way of life!, but choosing that lifestyle will take some serious commitment and a sound approach? how do you get “into” it? Some say alternate day fasting is great, where they eat whatever they like and then eat nothing and just drink water on their fasting day.

I recommend doing thorough research and having the support of a tried and tested system and community , so that you get the system right from the start. I find that if any system is to work you need to understand it fully(know why you are doing what you are doing) and then Knowing HOW to do what you are doing effectively.. to check it out
