This Is How I Fast & Eat

Nutrition | July 16, 2021

 

Here’s the list of foods and supplements I mentioned in the video:

Spermidine Supplement 

Pre-Biotic Fiber from Bulletproof Brand

Pre-Biotic Fiber from Garden of Life

(I have the Garden of Life, but I’m about to try the Bulletproof starting next week)

MCT oil (some brands have MCT oil with high C8 content – the most ketogenic molecule)

Bulletproof Coffee:

Cup of coffee (I drink decaf but that’s your choice), 1/2 tbsp grass-fed unsalted butter (Kerigold), 1/2 tbsp MCT oil.

My Fast Ritual Overview:

16/8 hour fast, I typically eat between 12pm-8pm but it can vary. Some days I fast longer hours and there can be also a day in the week when I extend my eating window or don’t fast.

I’m in Keto without even trying and this fast got me fully adapted. Because of that I can enjoy more carbs from my favourite fruits or have things like quinoa or sweet potatoes. My strength has not suffered the way it did in the past, so I’m finally reaping all the benefits I’ve been looking for.

    I have been doing intermit…fast for a few years now and eating low carb diet as well and it really works and helps keep me in a steady weight and strength.

    Hi, thanks for sharing! This really has me interested and I’m thinking of trying this out with my husband too! Could you possibly share the brand of bone broth that you use?

      Butcher’s bone broth or Kettle & Fire is my choice. Or my own: https://zuzkalight.com/recipes/bone-broth-recipe/

    I appreciate this video! I did the keto meal plan for my entire family and it was probably the best thing I could’ve done for us. I have 3 sons age 19 years, 17 years, and 14 years. Then, a daughter who is 6 years. We did this a few years ago and they all thrived as far as being more tentative to what we were engaging in, whether cooking or working out or discussions and I believe we did feel strong! It[s fun watching my boys doing all kinds of crazy intense pull ups on the bar, but struggle with a pistol squat??😂 However, I do believe in our bodies will tell us what works best. So, thanks for sharing and encouraging us every day!

    Do you drink your bullet coffee to break your fast? Or is it something you drink in the morning as your fasting? I don’t drink coffee so could I supplement with bone broth and the fats in it?

    How many meals in the 8 hours? Also when do you workout, during fast or after you have eating a meal?

    I can naturally fast for a whole day without hunger. do I still need to get this supplements for fasting? Could I do whole day fasting instead intermittent?

      You don’t need anything. It’s just an extra recommendation but fasting alone is enough to trigger autophagy and all the health benefits. You can do a whole day fast if it’s easy for you. I would just be cautious not to over do it because it can mess up your hormones. Women don’t have the same tolerance when it comes to fasting as men do because of that. You can do a whole day fast couple times a week and mix it up with days of normal eating and then add some intermittent fasting if you want.

    Hi Zuzka, What is the book you mentioned in the beginning?

      It’s called “Fast This Way” from Dave Asprey
