Part Two – Stalled Weight Loss Despite Intermittent Fasting

In part two we will talk about Macros vs. micros.

When you are fasting for two days or three days or even seven days or longer you are trying to avoid the macros – the carbs, the protein and the fat. But you have to think about micronutrients such vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, amino acids, and essential fatty acids.

Carbohydrates. There are no essential carbohydrates. Certain carbohydrates like vegetables will give us vitamins, minerals and trace minerals. When you are fasting find some type of concentrate will give you the natural vitamins, minerals and trace minerals instead of the carbohydrate. That way we get the nutrients and not all the calories.

2. Snacks – Snacking increases insulin because every time you eat, you trigger insulin. Cutting out snacks creates huge benefits.
