What are the best hours of the day to eat...

Hey, hey everybody.

If you're scrolling through yourfeed, stop and check this out.

I'm Shaun Hadsallfrom Get Lean In 12, and inside this livevideo we're going to talk about how tosimplify your fat loss.

And we're going to make, whatis usually a very complex issue, losing belly fat, very simple.

And I'm going to show you howto never count calories again.

Now, if you're watching this,you're not familiar with me, you don't know who I am.

Do me a favor, putyour name down below.

Go ahead and tell uswhere you're from.

My name is ShaunHadsall and again, I'm the owner of Get Lean In 12.

I'm a stubborn fat expert.

And I'm also a grandpa tothree beautiful grandkids.

So my wife Karen and Ihave three grandchildren.

We have one on the way.

And at the end ofthis video, I'm going to introduceyou to a system that I've created where you'llbe introduced to a 12 minute metabolic protocol that'sspecifically designed for the current hormonalcondition of people who over 35 years old.

So if you're in your40s, 50s, or 60s, this information couldchange your life.

And I also was fortunateenough, way back in 1998, to be first runner up grandchampion in the world's largest body transformation contestcalled Body for Life.

This was the catalyst to mestarting my fitness career.

And what ended up happeningwas, in a 90-day period I took my body fat foraround 20% all the way down to below 5%.

I gained five poundsof muscle and I lost 18 pounds of belly fat.

And I did this only exercisingfour to five hours a week and eating a clean, sound diet.

And I used primarilyinterval training.

And the reason that I'msharing that with you is because as I got olderand my hormones declined, I discovered that too muchinterval training can actually cause adrenal fatigue.

So inside this video,at the very end, I'm going to introduce you tothis system and this 12 minute metabolic protocol thatyou can use instead that's specifically designed toreactivate declining fat loss hormones.

So let's talk about timing,combinations, and portion control and how tosimplify your diet to quickly lost more belly fat.

So the first thingyou need to understand is there's a lot of mythsabout eating before bed.

Eating before bedisn't necessarily going to make youfatter as long as you're making healthy choices.

However, it couldtake your body out of a fat burningenvironment because when you eat you raise insulin.

And remember, wheninsulin is elevated, it makes it nearlyimpossible for people to lose stubborn belly fat.

So it's in your best interestto wait about two hours after a meal beforegoing to sleep.

That will allowinsulin to stabilize so that you'll go to sleepin a fat burning environment.

There's also researchthat shows, and by the way I'll post that researchin the comments below, that shows this will also helpgrowth hormone production.

The next thing abouteating before bed is carbs.

Most people think you needto eat all your carbs early in the day or just golow carb in general.

What ends up happeningis, they did a study where one group ate alltheir carbs at night and one group ate alltheir carbs in the morning.

And the group that atetheir carbs at night actually lost more weight.

Because at the end of theday all that really matters-- I'm going to make surethis is still working.

It is, OK.

All that really mattersis did you keep your body in a calorie deficit.

Now there's a lotmore to it than that as long as you're makingthe right choices as well.

But that's really all thatmatters at the end of the day.

The timing of your carbohydratesand the timing of your food, although it's important andthis stuff will help you, really at the end ofthe day, it doesn't matter when you eat your food.

It's about the choices you make,about your portion control, and about keeping your body ina fat burning calorie deficit, and using movement patterns,exercises, intensity levels, and rest periodsthat are specifically designed for your age category.

So that's reallyall that matters.

So eating before bed,just make sure you wait two hours afterwards aboutfour or five days of the week.

This will keep your body ina fat burning environment.

The next thing isbefore exercise.

If you eat right beforeexercise, even an hour before exercise, thisis a healthy choice.

The other thingis after exercise.

So if you use specific,strategic movement patterns that are designed foryour age category, what ends up happening is afterexercise, your body will continue to burn fat andcalories for about an hour or two, sometimes even longer.

In fact, the 12 minutemetabolic trick I'm going to introduce you toat the end of this video-- and there's a linksomewhere around here you can click or tap tolearn about my system-- it's actually been shown toelevate the metabolic rate for up to 48 hours afterwardswhen it's performed properly.

And again, I'll post a studybelow in the comment section to substantiate these claims.

So after exercise, I recommendthat you ride the fat burning wave for about 45 to 60 minutesand let your body continue to burn that residual fat.

Now, it's OK if you eatdirectly after exercise.

And of course, you have sugarissues or blood sugar issues, you're diabetic, you needto talk to your doctor before you tryany of this stuff.

But just that eatingdirectly after exercise is a healthy choice.

It just could potentiallyget in the way of your body burning more bellyfat for that 45 minutes to hour afterwards.

The next thing iscombinations, and this is where a lot of people mess up.

The number one rule of thumbyou should always remember is to never ever eata starch or a sugar or a ripe fruit by itself.

Now there are some exceptionsto this rule like grapefruit.

Grapefruit has been oneof the few fruits that's shown to actuallyflatline insulin levels.

However, most ripefruits, like bananas, have a lot of sugar in them.

Starches do too.

It's just the way yourbody processes it.

What ends up happening,is every time you eat a starch or asugar by itself, that's what causes insulin spikesand takes your body out of a fat burning environment.

So always, always, alwayscombine your starches with a high quality protein.

And make sure that you'reeating protein in every meal.

I think the standardrecommendation of protein is like 60 grams a day.

And if you areexercising, you should be eating at least double that.

In fact, if you're usingthe movement patterns that I'm going to introduce youto at the end of this video, you should probablybe having one gram of protein per pound of bodyweight per day, approximately.

Again, once we getto portion control, you don't have to countcalories or grams.

So the other combinationthat you have to be aware of is starches and fat together.

So insulin is astorage hormone, right? So when you eat starchesand you raise insulin and you have fat in thebloodstream at the same time, the chances of yourbody storing that fat are a lot higher becauseinsulin is present.

So it's important that you keepfat intake a little bit lower in your starch containing meals.

I recommend 15 grams or lower.

So just keep your eye on that.

And again, proteinin every meal.

Remember, protein has been shownto prevent rebound weight gain.

It's been shown toincrease metabolic rate.

It's been shown topreserve and help you gain lean muscle tissue.

And it also helpsyour hunger levels.

And again, I'll post someresearch below in the comments to substantiate this stuff.

Now the last thingis portion control.

So again, we talkedabout protein grams and the importanceof protein intake.

So not only making sure thatyou get protein in every meal, but following theportion control guidelines that will keepyour body in a fat burning environment.

So a fist sized portionof carbs, a palm sized, or a deck of cardsized, portion of protein, and then a thumbsized friendly of fat is the general rule ofthumb that you can follow to never count calories again.

So if you just keepyour eye on that.

Now, if the goalis to gain muscle, this changes a littlebit because you're going to increase your carb intake.

But if the goal is to burn bellyfat and to lose weight quickly, then you want to followthis general portion control guideline rule.

OK.

So now that we've coveredtiming, combinations, and portion control, and we'vesimplified your fat loss, let's talk about this 12minute metabolic trick.

Because if you use this, itworks in synergy with this to help you quicklylose more belly fat.

So somewhere aroundthis video, you'll see a link that you canclick or tap and learn all about my system calledthe Over 40 Ab Solution.

Inside this system, you'll beintroduced to this 12 minute metabolic protocol.

I've actually usedthis for over 10 years to stay 10% body fat or lower.

And I'll post my progresspictures below just to confirm that because I knowpeople are going to be asking.

Let me see your abs,stuff like that.

So I want to show youguys that this works.

This is the samemetabolic protocol that my wife Karenused after she struggled, was forcedinto menopause, from having colorectal cancer.

And it really messedup her hormones.

So what we did, is we usedthese guidelines and then we combined it with our 12minute metabolic protocol and it quickly got ridof her upper belly fat.

So I'll go ahead and posta picture of that as well in the comments.

And if you click thelink around this video, you'll see her after picture.

You'll read all about her story.

She's 57 years old and she looksat least 15 to 20 years younger than her real age.

You can use this 12minute metabolic trick to help you quicklylose more belly fat.
