Wanna Know How To Lose That Beer Gut?

Good morning! We panned through loads of silk to find you this week's dad nugget. You can put this info to use as quick as your kids trash your dining room during dinner time.

This week's nugget is: Self Care

Lose That Beer Gut (While Still Drinking Beer)

Before you read further: This is not a life-hack.

Sadly, the science of weight-loss is simple: if you consume more calories than you expend, you gain weight.

The inverse then is also true: to lose weight, you simply must consume less calories than you expend.

What am I talking about?

Keto? Paleo?

Nope.

Those can also be effective, but we are focusing on a method, not a diet.

The Method?

Intermittent Fasting...the simple restriction of the times each day you eat food.

A common example: the 16:8 fast.

For 16 hours each day, you eat/drink nothing caloric.

For 8 Hours each day, you eat/drink your daily requirements.

There is a simple free app that does the math for you.

Example:

John eats his first meal at 12:00PM.

He eats a small snack at 4PM.

At 7PM, John eats his dinner, and then fasts until 12:00PM the next day.

It is that simple.

How It Works:

To start, what makes this approach viable for losing weight is how easy it is.

Unlike a restrictive diet like Keto, the only thing you need to change is the time frames in which you eat.

Further, by restricting your time frame of consumption, you allow your body to switch from burning your sugar stores into your fat stores, a process called “Metabolic Switching”.

Mark Mattson's, of Johns Hopkins, research suggests:

“ Things happen during intermittent fasting that can protect organs against chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, age-related neurodegenerative disorders, even inflammatory bowel disease and many cancers."

The simpler reason...

Less time spent snacking +

Fewer meals +

Zero full-calorie pops for breakfast =

Less calories entering your stomach.

I also found the added benefit of making me a clearer thinker in the morning. And it helps me avoid the post lunch crash because I make a better choice of what I eat for lunch (my first meal of the day).

So want to lose weight? Want to still drink carbalicious beer? Tired of your wife’s Keto farts?

Try Fasting.
