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.

If you are in a chronic stress state, your body is not going to be able to get you into ketosis because of high cortisol and the high sugar and the high insulin so it is going to be really hard for you to get in the state of fat-burning if you have high cortisol.

Carbohydrates are highly addictive. We are conditioned as children to feed a carb addiction – most children consume large amounts of sugar daily. Sugars and refined grains are added to baby food, cereal, candy, and virtually all processed foods.

Over time, an addiction to carbs becomes stronger and stronger.

So what can you do to break a carb addiction?
