Pour a cup of this good smelling coffee. I just found another reason I love coffee. Let me explain. I started practicing intermittent fasting after learning from this guy. Hey, I'm Ronan. I am the author of Beyond Fasting Quest on mindvalley. And I am the guy who made vision fast for 22 hours. Yes, I fasted 22 freaking hours on my first day. And now I'd heard about intermittent fasting. Specifically, I'd read an article that said that it was a new trend among CEOs in Silicon Valley. It was giving them clarity, it was helping them stay in shape. So I thought, I gotta try that. But I also love food. So to give up eating for 22 hours, screw that. Until Ronan taught me the technique. First step, you don't need to eat breakfast. You don't even need to crave breakfast. Breakfast doesn't even come to your mind as long as you have coffee. But it's not just coffee. You also take a second substance in the morning. And it's as simple as this. Water with Himalayan salt. When I started doing this, I would wake up in the morning, make myself a glass of water with Himalayan salt, sometimes a touch of lime or lemon, and then a black coffee, and I would be able to plow through the day till 2pm and that is when I would eat my lunch. Now, doing this, I've been able to stay in great shape without sacrificing all the other incredible things I still want to put in my mouth throughout the day. But I've been able to maintain my weight, stay in great shape, but more than that, maintain energy levels and clarity of mind because of this fasting protocol.
