03:26 Second problem: fat burning will slow down

05:35 Number 1: Eat more fat and protein with your meals, no snacking and eat until full.

AMPK improves glucose uptake so it lowers your blood sugar, increases the burning of stored fat, and decreases your blood triglycerides. It decreases fat-related chronic inflammation, which means that it is targeting the inflammatory fat or the abdominal fat specifically. Abdominal fat has more inflammatory potential than fats in other parts of the body. http://www.lifeextension.com/magazine… ,

Make sure you’re eating the particular fats that boost AMPK (which builds fat-burning mitochondria)
* 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil each day
* Hesperidin (a compound found in citrus peels), green tea extract, bilberry extract, can also help activate AMPK.

* Cold exposure increases AMPK by promoting fat burning, mitochondrial biogenesis, and hypothalamic desire to eat https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti…

* α-Lipoic acid (ALA) activates AMPK in muscles and other tissues

* Different compounds like bitter melon extract, ginseng, rooibos, quercetins, extra virgin olive oil, Astragalus

08:50 Number 2: Master your stress by practicing love and gratitude. We cannot heal a body we hate.

11:10 Number 3: EAT FOR YOUR CYCLE

A women’s cycle goes anywhere from 28-30 day cycles. From day 1 to day 14 women make a little bit of estrogen and very little progesterone, but once they ovulate then thats when those hormones kick in and the body needs to have certain foods to make specifically progesterone is the anti stress hormone. So what are those foods?

They are beans, tropical fruits, citrus fruits, white potatoes, squash, and wild rice.

Where it really becomes crucial is at day 21, about 1 week before the cycle. Don’t do a water fast, flex out of keto and focus on eating those foods.

The 5-1-1 rule is idea for post menopausal women.
