Main Points From Today’s Episode
Research shows that 90% of people eat over 12 hours a day. Eating around the clock is a prescription for metabolic disaster! The first step of the KetoFast approach is to compress your eating window for at least 4 weeks. A compressed eating window means you're eating all of your calories within 6-8 hours. Dr. Mercola shares an eating strategy you can use twice a week to reap massive metabolic benefits. This strategy depletes the stores of sugar in your liver, triggering processes in your body that help dramatically reduce your risk of chronic, degenerative disease.
