WW: Burn Fat & Boost Metabolism Through Intermittent Fasting

Today’s podcast is a deep dive on how to use the science of intermittent fasting to safely burn more fat and boost metabolism while not damaging long-term hormonal health…

The problem with how many fasting programs are being implemented is that they overlook the long-term consequences to favor the short-term results…

This causes unnecessary metabolic health issues, which usually leaves you worse off from where you started initially…

That’s why on today’s #CabralConcept 2126 we’ll look at how to scientifically burn fat and boost metabolism through intermittent fasting (without the side effects) – Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments!

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways

1. Norepinephrine

This neurotransmitter has the power to help you burn more fat, but when taken too far it can cause serious HPA Axis/adrenal and thyroid issues. 

2. Metabolic Adaptation

If you decrease calories in the short term you will lose weight, but when done chronically you will lower your metabolism and weight loss will cease.

3. Time Restriction

The key to intermittent fasting is to find the proper window for eating and fasting that enables you to burn the maximum amount of fat by priming metabolic hormones that signal your body to do just that (detailed on today’s show).
