Hey, it's Danny from Conscious Cataclysmics here. So I want to share with you why I do not calorie count whatsoever or recommend it when you are eating one meal a day or even intermittent fasting with two meals a day. And most people know of the intermittent fasting method known as the 16-8 method, which is where you fast for around a 16 hour window and eat for around an eight hour window every single day. And if you're someone that would like to learn more about the 16-8 method and about using it for serious rapid weight loss, then check out the video link that I've put here that I've made before. I highly recommend you go and check that out if you haven't. And if you're someone that is new to one meal a day and you'd like to learn how to put it to use for you to get to work the best for you a long term and get the greatest benefits from doing it, and then check out the how to one meal a day video that I've put a link for above. So yeah, the reason why I do not calorie count or recommend it is because it is completely unnecessary when intermittent fasting daily or doing one meal a day. It's because about six days after your last meal, your body will burn through all the glucose in your body, then it will burn through the stored glucose known as glycogen, it's mostly stored within the liver. And then after this time period, your body goes into fat burning mode where it burns your body fat as fuel. And the longer you fast, the lower your insulin goes and it improves your insulin sensitivity. And when insulin is higher, it is storing fat. So yeah, it is shown the longer that you fast the greater fat burning benefits you get, the greater insulin benefits you will get, testosterone levels go even higher, so does human growth hormone as well. And all of these different things are key for getting rid of a body fat whilst increasing your muscle mass at the same time. So based on this, actually doing one meal a day will give you greater weight loss benefits because you're fasting for a longer period of time in comparison to the 16-8 method. So if you're someone wants the fastest weight loss benefits, then you would want to be doing one meal a day over intermittent fasting daily, such as the 16-8 method. So yeah, there is no calorie counting whatsoever because your body is going to burn through all of the calories that you consumed from the day before whilst you're in a fasting state. And for me personally, I eat around three to four thousand calories per my one meal a day. And as you can see, I have a very low body fat percentage. I'm a calisthenics athlete. And yeah, it just works really, really well for me. And I'm just not someone that is into calorie counting whatsoever. I have a very busy, active lifestyle and calorie counting. It's just something where I have to go out of my way and yeah, way all of my food and counting. And it's just a lot more for me to do throughout my day. I'm going to try doing a lot of calorie counting in the past, so I end up forgetting to do it anyway. So yeah, this is why I call one meal a day and intermittent fasting daily the ultimate weight loss hack because you don't need to be calorie counting whatsoever. And you can even stick to the foods that you are eating. So you don't need to change your diet at all. You just reduce the amount of meals that you're eating and fast for a lot longer throughout the day. And what can happen with calorie restriction? This is not always, but I've seen it happen with a lot of people that are eating around a thousand to a thousand, five hundred calories. They start losing weight. And then their body stops losing weight. And I've had people mention this on my YouTube channel multiple times. And what is happening for a lot of people when they're doing severe calorie restriction, their body is thinking that it's going into starvation mode because they're not eating enough calories day in day out. And then your body is going into intense survival mode where it's trying to hold on to everything possible from your food and store it as fat. And this is what I've seen. A lot of people that have been doing this for a period of time that then start to increase their calories that they're eating on a daily basis, they then start to lose weight. And from my own person experience, I found once I increased my calories by a thousand calories a day that I actually started to reduce my body fat percentage even more. So from my own person experience, it worked really, really well for me. So yeah, one last thing I mentioned is if you want to see what A.E. in a day, check out a video link that I will put for up above that you can check out. And you can get a rough idea of what I eat in a day. And if you're someone that finds it hard to eat a lot of calories, check out my video where I teach you in the link up above that you can click for that video. How you can slowly over time increase the amount of calories that you're eating. So yeah, that's it for this video.
