2:07

fasting is going to kill

2:10

new steady lives. That

2:12

if you squeeze your eating into an

2:14

8 hour window, you increase your chances

2:16

of heart disease by 91%. Does

2:21

anybody call bullshit on this? Anybody,

2:24

anybody, anybody, anybody. What

2:26

do you guys think? Intramitting fasting?

2:28

I intermittent fast. Did

2:31

you hear about this new study? No, I don't want

2:33

to read it if it's going to kill me. I'd rather you continue

2:35

along and keep my tummy flat. Thank you very

2:37

much. This study

2:39

claims that consolidating your eating from 12 hours to 8

2:41

hours will

2:44

increase your risk of heart disease by 21%.

2:47

Now, you generally would

2:49

need a clinical trial to make

2:51

these claims. There was none. No

2:54

data gathering. It's not a peer reviewed

2:56

study that appeared in a medical journal. No,

2:58

no. This came from

3:01

an abstract that was presented at

3:03

the American Heart Association conference.

3:06

Okay, you ready to study? Look

3:08

at one food survey. Oh,

3:12

come on. I swear to God.

3:14

So starting in 2003 to 2018, okay, I think it was like 20,000 people, but

3:20

they took a small sampling of those 20,000 people, very small.

3:23

And they gave them a two-day food

3:26

questionnaire. What do you eat and when

3:28

do you eat it? That's it. That's

3:30

it. And then they

3:33

looked at people who had died from

3:35

cardiovascular disease from the

3:37

CDC database and they cross-referenced it.

3:40

And from that, they said,

3:44

guess what? The

3:46

ones that skipped breakfast died,

3:49

which is total. It

3:52

is such bullshit. So the first thing we

3:54

need to talk about here is, number

3:56

one, why? Do

3:58

you think you're reading that headline? One guess.

4:01

Tony the Tiger wrote it. Far

4:03

right! The breakfast people! No,

4:08

honestly, if I was

4:10

to guess, it's just clickbait. It's to get you to

4:12

stop. In 2003, nobody

4:15

was even doing intermittent fasting. Nobody.

4:17

Nobody was like... They weren't thinking to

4:19

themselves, hold on, like, let

4:21

me... Intermittent

4:24

fast and skip breakfast because

4:26

I want to eat less calories throughout the

4:28

day or I want

4:30

to rest and digest. I want to give my

4:32

body more time to focus on

4:34

repair instead of digestion. And that's irrefutable. It

4:37

just is that it's better for you to not be

4:39

eating all the time. But

4:42

there's no accounting for what they

4:45

actually ate. So

4:47

they didn't bother to take

4:49

into account that these

4:51

people could have been eating

4:54

a McFlurry later on in

4:56

the afternoon. Or none of them. So

5:00

if we look at one study that

5:02

was done on OMAD, which is one meal a day a few

5:04

years back and had a very similar headline, like, it's

5:06

going to kill you. But there's

5:09

no question in my mind that it's a

5:11

case of reverse causality. Meaning that if

5:13

you were eating one meal a day, what

5:16

most of those people were doing was

5:18

overeating when they finally ate. So they

5:20

end up eating more, not less. Because

5:23

you skip that meal and then you're like, oh, I'm

5:25

going to go crazy. And

5:27

there's no accounting for food quality. And it's like, well, I'm

5:30

only eating one meal a day, so I'm going to

5:32

eat whatever I want. So my point

5:34

being reverse causality that they probably ended

5:36

up eating more food, which

5:38

is linked to greater

5:41

all-cause mortality, and crappier

5:43

food. And the

5:45

best part is that one

5:47

of the authors of the study came out and

5:50

was like, yeah, I mean, we

5:52

don't really know that

5:54

the mechanism would be

5:56

intermittent fasting. But,

5:58

you know, it's not a good thing. But yeah,

6:04

and this is the stuff that people

6:06

read and they freak out. Like they didn't

6:08

look at food quality. They didn't look at

6:10

how much they ate. None of

6:12

it. Zero. And here's the best part. Are you ready?

6:15

So when people do intermittent

6:18

fasting, they're generally focused on their health,

6:20

right? They're generally reducing overall calories. They're generally doing

6:22

it to give their body a rest period, which

6:24

we know is good for them. Or,

6:27

okay, they're doing

6:29

it to help balance their circadian rhythms. There's

6:31

this work of this guy, Dr. Sachin Pandit,

6:33

who's really impressive. And if you

6:35

don't eat three hours before bed, which generally

6:37

can create a longer fast window, same concept,

6:39

right? It allows the body to do all

6:42

the stuff it needs to do when it's

6:44

sleeping and not have insulin surging from eating

6:46

before bed when you're less insulin sensitive, which

6:48

can mess up all those good hormones you

6:50

make in the first sleep cycle, blah, blah,

6:52

blah. Okay. So the long and the short

6:54

of it is this. Are you ready? We

6:56

do actually have human randomized control trials on

6:59

health benefits surrounding intermittent

7:02

fasting, and this could be,

7:04

you know, potentially having to do

7:06

with calorie restriction, according to my, my

7:08

new best friend, Lane, Lane Norton, Dr. Lane

7:10

Norton, the effect of fasting

7:12

on cardiovascular disease, a systemic

7:14

review. Are you ready? Here's

7:16

the conclusion. Fasting

7:19

and cardiovascular disease have a

7:21

close relationship. We have evidence

7:23

suggesting that fasting is beneficial

7:26

in lowering the cardiovascular risk of a

7:28

population. This is achieved by improving

7:30

the lipid profile, improving metabolic

7:32

syndrome indicators, improving insulin resistance,

7:34

lowering body weight and inflammatory

7:37

biomarkers. These results hold

7:39

the different types of fasting, I.E.

7:42

intermittent fasting, continuous fasting, CR, protein

7:44

restriction, and time restricted eating. The

7:46

fact that no pharmaceutical medication has

7:49

had such a dramatic influence on

7:51

such a wide spectrum of cardio

7:54

metabolic risk variables makes these findings

7:56

revolutionary. But here's what else

7:58

is interesting. The average

8:00

age of the people in the control group

8:02

was 41 and up to 10 or 15

8:04

years later, 20%

8:08

of those people died. So

8:10

they're clearly not healthy to begin with.

8:12

No one took into account a bad heart

8:14

disease to begin with. So

8:18

now that that's my hot take

8:20

on this hot topic, the study

8:23

is bogus, complete baloney, definitely

8:25

give yourself a minimum 12 hour fast

8:27

window, up to 16

8:29

if you choose to. Don't

8:32

overeat though when you're eating window, that's when this is all

8:34

going sideways. Even you're

8:36

real with killing like. Hey
