protocol, that I NEVER got hungry anymore. In other
words, over time fasting has become a lot easier and skipping breakfast doesn’t even faze me anymore.
So I did some research on this phenomenon I was experiencing and I discovered that we can actually “retrain” our
hunger hormone Ghrelin.
Simply put (to save you from the mental agony), Ghrelin is
the hormone that controls your body’s hunger response to
food. It’s secreted when you’re about ready to eat. In other
words, you can reprogram Ghrelin to respond at a different
time of the day. This process only take a few weeks
(sometimes less) with intermittent fasting.
Also, Ghrelin is a potent stimulator of growth hormone. So
if you combine the growth hormone release that occurs
naturally during fasting with your body’s ability to “retrain” Ghrelin, you get a potent one-two GH punch.
With this plan, you get fat-burning during one long, 16-hour
stretch of the day and lean muscle building with recovery during
the 8-hour feeding stretch.
This can easily be manipulated into one long 24 hour stretch of
fat loss by manipulating macro-nutrient intake. And that’s exactly what we’re going to do for 10 days straight. Rinse and repeat.
I also want to give you a quick heads up on a few minor side effects of this approach. First, you may experience the chills and
feel your body temperature drop during the fast like I mentioned
above.
Also, when I get extremely lean (below 8 or 9%), I’ll
