Hey there, I’m JJ Virgin, and if you’re looking for ways to lose weight without living on a diet, you’re in the right place. My approach to healthy weight loss is unique, and it’s all about creating an eating plan tailored specifically to you. I use intermittent fasting to help people achieve fast weight loss and control their blood sugar.
Intermittent fasting is a popular method that has been around for centuries, and it’s about creating a food gap to give your body a break. The idea is to limit your meals to a specific time window, so ideally, you want to go at least 12 to 14 hours between meals. During this time, you’re not snacking but can drink coffee, tea, or sparkling water.
The beauty of intermittent fasting is that it helps shift your body from a sugar burner to a fat burner and eventually to a multi-fuel burner, where you’re burning fat, sugar, and ketones for fuel. This leads to fast fat loss, triggers autophagy (taking out cellular trash), and stimulates stem cell production.
But for many people, going without food for 14 hours can be daunting, so I recommend starting with 12 to 14 hours. Once you get comfortable with that, you can gradually increase the hours until you reach 16 or even one meal daily. The key is to do it in a way that’s easy and doesn’t deprive you of food.
To make fasting more accessible, eating clean, lean protein, healthy fats, and loads of fiber from non-starchy vegetables is essential. I recommend using my Virgin Diet Sugar Impact Diet Plate, which provides structure and helps to stabilize your blood sugar. This plate is like your training wheels, and it helps you control your cravings, burn fat, and feel fuller longer.
So, let’s break down how to fill your plate. First, you must aim for at least 20 grams of clean, lean protein per meal or up to 40 grams if you’re a big guy or an athlete. You also want to include zero to two servings of slow, low carbs, such as berries, wild rice, or potatoes. And finally, you need to get at least five servings of non-starchy vegetables per day, so you should aim for at least two servings per meal.
Non-starchy vegetables are essential for weight loss because they’re low in calories but high in fiber, which keeps you feeling fuller longer. Some great examples of non-starchy vegetables include broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower. You can even use cauliflower rice as a great way to get in more non-starchy vegetables.
In conclusion, intermittent fasting can be a powerful tool for weight loss and blood sugar control. You can lose fast fat and start living your best healthy life by gradually building up to more extended fasting periods and pairing it with clean eating. Remember, it’s all about finding what works for you and creating an eating plan unique to your needs.

She believes in creating a personalized eating plan that shifts the body from a sugar burner to a multi-fuel burner, including fat, sugar, and ketones, for fast fat loss. One of her recommended tools for this is intermittent fasting. Virgin recommends starting with a 12 to 14-hour fast between meals and not snacking. She suggests moving towards a 16-hour fast or even one meal a day once a week to amp up weight loss and speed gut healing. Virgin also emphasizes the importance of clean, lean protein, healthy fats, loads of fiber from non-starchy vegetables, and slow, low carbs at meal times while keeping it structured with the Virgin Diet Sugar Impact Diet Plate.
