you starting to eat at 10am the following morning. I’m sure
you get the point and can do the math.
The daily fast accomplishes a few things. Firstly, it helps
replenish your body’s enzyme pool. Many functional medicine
experts and life extensions have said that when your enzyme
pool finally runs out so does your time on the planet. When
you constantly over stress the body by eating all day your
enzyme pool never gets a chance to replenish itself. This leads
to accelerated aging and a weakened immune system.
The act of eating and digesting is, in itself, very stressful to
the body. No matter how healthy your diet is you are still
placing stress on all of your internal organs when you eat. So
ideally you want to spend more time per day in the fasted
state and less time in the fed state. That is, of course, if you
are interested in being healthy, avoiding sickness and disease,
reducing inflammation, slowing down the aging process and
burning fat like crazy.
Even if you eat the same amount of calories per day but
pack them into a smaller window the difference will be
dramatic in how you look and feel.
One thing you will notice while on The Renegade Diet is
that your energy levels go through the roof. Your mental
clarity, focus and ability to deal with stress will be at an all
time high. That’s because fasting flips the switch and puts
your body into what’s known as sympathetic nervous system
mode. This is fight or flight mode when your senses are
heightened and you are wide awake and alert. Energy levels
will skyrocket during the fast, rather than plummet as so
many people would expect. When you eat a large meal,
especially one containing carbohydrates, your body switches
over to parasympathetic mode and that’s when you get tired.
Think Thanksgiving.
