Summary of Transcript:
The video discusses the effects of fasting on the body and what to eat afterwards. Studies show that after fasting, the body becomes better at using fats and has a decreased ability to utilize glucose, so it is recommended to eat less high-carb foods after fasting. However, the video emphasizes the importance of consuming protein after fasting and recommends BOMAR Nutrition’s protein powders, which are now sweetened with natural sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit. Instead of going completely keto after fasting, the video suggests either reducing carb intake or increasing fiber and protein intake to mitigate the effects of carbs on gene expression.

Summary of Description:
The video discusses the importance of eating less fat after fasting as the body has an increased sensitivity to fat, which can lead to an increased risk of inflammation and insulin resistance. Prioritizing protein after fasting is also important for muscle recovery and growth. The video includes references to studies on glucose tolerance and the effects of fasting on hormones. Additionally, the video includes a promotion for Bowmar Nutrition and recommends spacing out carb intake after fasting to avoid issues with sleep.

Introduction
Intermittent fasting has gained massive popularity as a health and weight loss strategy in recent times. It involves alternating periods of fasting and eating. During the fasting period, the body goes without food for several hours, leading to several changes in the body. In this video, Thomas DeLauer, a health and fitness expert, explains what to eat and avoid when breaking your fast.
What Changes When You Fast
When you fast, the body’s energy resources shift from glucose to fat stores. This leads to changes in insulin levels and glucose metabolism, which plays a significant role in weight loss.
What Does This Mean for After Fasting?
After fasting, blood glucose levels tend to be low, meaning you need to be careful with what you eat. Eating carb-laden meals post-fast can lead to a spike in blood sugar, resulting in sleep issues.
Glucose Tolerance After Fasting
Studies have shown that glucose tolerance is better after fasting, meaning your body is more insulin sensitive. This is because the body becomes more efficient in using glucose as fuel, leading to better blood sugar regulation.
You Need to Prioritize Protein After Fasting
Protein is a critical nutrient after fasting as it helps to rebuild muscles and repair tissues. It also boosts metabolism, which helps to burn more calories throughout the day. In this video, Thomas recommends Bowmar Nutrition, a brand that offers a 15% discount on any protein flavor using the code TDL15.
Here’s What to Eat When Breaking Your Fast
To break your fast, you need high-quality protein that is easy on your digestive system. Thomas recommends whey protein isolate from Bowmar Nutrition. You can add it to smoothies or mix it with water for a quick protein boost.
Carbs After Fasting & Sleep Issues
While it’s essential to replenish your glycogen stores after fasting with carbohydrates, you need to be careful not to overdo it. Eating too many carbs can lead to sleep problems, so it’s important to space them out over time.
What About Growth Hormone?
Fasting has been shown to increase growth hormone levels, which is beneficial for muscle growth and fat loss. However, consuming protein after fasting can blunt the growth hormone response. The solution is to consume protein before bedtime to ensure maximum GH release.
Conclusion
Intermittent fasting is a great way to improve your health and lose weight. However, breaking your fast the right way is crucial to maximize the benefits of fasting. Prioritizing protein, spacing out carbs and consuming protein before bedtime are some of the ways you can optimize your post-fast nutrition. Bowmar Nutrition offers a range of high-quality protein products that can help you achieve your fitness goals. Use the code TDL15 to get a 15% discount on any protein flavor today.
