Published

2 years ago

November 10, 2023

Eating small amounts of food throughout the day, also known as frequent or grazing meals, has been associated with several potential benefits. It’s important to note that individual responses to eating patterns can vary, and what works for one person may not work for another. Here are some potential benefits of eating small, frequent meals:

Stable Blood Sugar Levels: Consuming smaller, balanced meals throughout the day may help regulate blood sugar levels. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with diabetes or those at risk of insulin resistance.
Improved Metabolism: Some studies suggest that eating smaller, more frequent meals can help maintain a higher metabolic rate compared to fewer large meals. This is because the body may expend energy through the thermic effect of food more consistently.
Reduced Hunger and Overeating: Eating smaller meals at regular intervals may help control hunger and reduce the likelihood of overeating during main meals. This can be especially helpful for weight management.
Sustained Energy Levels: Regular, smaller meals can help maintain a steady supply of nutrients and energy throughout the day, reducing the likelihood of energy crashes between meals.
Better Nutrient Absorption: Spreading nutrient intake throughout the day allows for better absorption and utilization of nutrients. This can be important for individuals who have difficulty consuming large meals or absorbing nutrients efficiently.
Enhanced Mood and Cognitive Function: A consistent intake of nutrients can contribute to stable energy levels, which may positively impact mood and cognitive function. Fluctuations in blood sugar levels can affect mood and concentration.
Digestive Comfort: Eating smaller meals may be gentler on the digestive system, potentially reducing issues like bloating and discomfort that can occur with larger meals.
Balanced Hormones: Regular meals can help regulate hormones involved in appetite and metabolism, such as insulin and ghrelin, contributing to better overall hormonal balance.
Customizable to Lifestyle: Frequent, smaller meals can be more manageable for individuals with busy schedules or those who prefer not to consume large meals. It allows for flexibility in meal planning.
Weight Management: Some people find that eating smaller, more frequent meals helps them manage their weight by preventing excessive calorie intake and promoting a sense of fullness.

It’s important to note that individual preferences, health conditions, and lifestyles vary, and there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to eating. Some people may feel more satisfied with three larger meals, while others may prefer smaller, more frequent meals. It’s advisable to listen to your body’s cues and find an eating pattern that works best for you. Additionally, the quality of the food consumed is crucial, regardless of the eating pattern chosen.

3 The Change-Up!

Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting involves cycling between periods of eating and fasting. While there are different methods of intermittent fasting, one common approach is the time-restricted feeding method, where individuals restrict their eating to a specific time window each day.

Here are some potential benefits associated with intermittent fasting:

Weight Management: Intermittent fasting may help some individuals with weight management by reducing overall calorie intake. The limited eating window can make it more challenging to overconsume calories during the day.
Improved Metabolic Health: Some studies suggest that intermittent fasting can lead to improvements in metabolic health, including insulin sensitivity and blood sugar regulation. This could be particularly beneficial for individuals at risk of type 2 diabetes.
Cellular Repair and Autophagy: During fasting periods, the body may initiate a process called autophagy, where cells remove damaged components and recycle them. This process is thought to have potential benefits for cellular repair and longevity.
Cardiovascular Health: Some research indicates that intermittent fasting may have positive effects on cardiovascular health by improving factors like blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and triglycerides.
Inflammation Reduction: Intermittent fasting has been associated with reduced levels of inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation is linked to various health issues, including heart disease and certain autoimmune conditions.
Brain Health: There is some evidence suggesting that intermittent fasting may have neuroprotective effects and could be beneficial for brain health. It may support cognitive function and help protect against neurodegenerative diseases.
Simplicity and Convenience: Intermittent fasting can be relatively simple to follow, as it doesn’t require meticulous calorie counting or complicated meal planning. This simplicity may make it easier for some people to adhere to compared to other dietary approaches.
Potential Longevity Benefits: Some animal studies have suggested that intermittent fasting might promote longevity. However, more research is needed to determine whether similar effects occur in humans.

It’s important to note that while intermittent fasting may offer various potential benefits, it may not be suitable for everyone. Individual responses to fasting can vary, and certain populations, such as pregnant women, individuals with a history of eating disorders, or those with certain medical conditions, should approach fasting with caution and consult with a healthcare professional.

As with any dietary approach, the quality of the food consumed during eating periods is crucial. It’s essential to prioritize nutrient-dense foods and maintain a well-balanced diet even within the confines of the chosen eating pattern.

Extended Fasting

Extended fasting, such as fasting for 100 hours or more, is a more prolonged and intense form of intermittent fasting. It’s essential to approach extended fasting with caution and under appropriate supervision, especially for individuals with pre-existing health conditions. While there is some research suggesting potential benefits, the effects of extended fasting can vary among individuals. Here are some reported benefits:

Autophagy: Extended fasting may stimulate autophagy, a cellular process in which the body cleans out damaged cells and regenerates new, healthy ones. This process is believed to have potential benefits for cellular repair and longevity.
Improved Insulin Sensitivity: Some studies suggest that extended fasting may improve insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism. This could be beneficial for individuals with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes.
Hormone Regulation: Extended fasting may influence the regulation of various hormones, such as insulin, ghrelin, and growth hormone. These hormonal changes can impact metabolism and may contribute to the reported benefits of fasting.
Weight Loss: Extended fasting can lead to significant calorie restriction, resulting in weight loss. The body shifts from using glucose as its primary energy source to utilizing stored fat for energy during prolonged fasting.
Inflammation Reduction: Some research indicates that extended fasting may reduce markers of inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation is associated with various health conditions, so this effect could have potential health benefits.
Cellular and Organ Health: Advocates of extended fasting suggest that it may promote the health of various organs and systems, potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
Mental Clarity: Some individuals report improved mental clarity and focus during extended fasting periods. The mechanisms behind this effect are not fully understood, but it may be related to the metabolic adaptations that occur during fasting.

It’s crucial to note that while there are potential benefits associated with extended fasting, there are also risks, and it may not be suitable for everyone. Prolonged fasting can lead to nutritional deficiencies, electrolyte imbalances, and other health issues, especially if not done properly. Individuals considering extended fasting should consult with a healthcare professional, particularly if they have pre-existing health conditions, are pregnant, or are taking medications.

It’s also important to break a fast properly, gradually reintroducing food to avoid digestive issues. Extreme fasting should be approached with caution and ideally done under the guidance of a healthcare provider or a registered dietitian who can monitor and support the process. Always prioritize your health and safety when considering any significant changes to your eating patterns.

The Change-Up!

Switching between eating small amounts of food throughout the day and practicing intermittent fasting (going back and forth between the two modalities) is often referred to as a flexible or cyclical approach to eating. This approach can have certain benefits, and it aligns with the idea that different eating patterns may suit individuals at different times or under different circumstances. Here are some potential advantages:

Metabolic Flexibility: Alternating between frequent meals and intermittent fasting may enhance metabolic flexibility. This means your body becomes adept at using different fuel sources, such as glucose and ketones, depending on whether you’re in a fed or fasted state.
Adaptability: A flexible approach allows you to adapt your eating pattern to your lifestyle, social events, or specific goals. This adaptability can make it easier to sustain healthy eating habits over the long term.
Cognitive and Physical Performance: Some people find that certain eating patterns enhance their cognitive and physical performance. Switching between modalities allows you to experiment and find what works best for you in different situations.
Improved Insulin Sensitivity: Both frequent, balanced meals and intermittent fasting have been associated with improved insulin sensitivity. Switching between the two may provide the benefits of both approaches.
Caloric Cycling: Cycling between periods of more and fewer calories can have a positive impact on metabolism. It prevents the body from adapting to a consistent calorie intake, potentially avoiding plateaus in weight loss or muscle gain.
Digestive Rest: Intermittent fasting provides periods of digestive rest, allowing the gastrointestinal system to recover and potentially improving gut health. Alternating between eating patterns may offer a balance between regular nourishment and periods of digestive rest.
Individual Preferences and Variability: People have different preferences and respond differently to various eating patterns. A flexible approach acknowledges that what works for one person may not work for another. Switching between modalities allows you to find a balance that suits your individual needs and preferences.
Psychological Benefits: A flexible approach can reduce the likelihood of feeling overly restricted or deprived, potentially improving adherence to a healthy eating plan. It allows for a more intuitive and enjoyable relationship with food.

It’s crucial to approach any changes in eating patterns mindfully and listen to your body’s signals. Pay attention to how your body responds to different modalities and adjust based on your energy levels, hunger cues, and overall well-being. Additionally, it’s important to focus on the quality of the food consumed and ensure that nutritional needs are met, regardless of the chosen eating pattern. Before making significant changes to your diet, it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian, especially if you have underlying health conditions.

Subject: Interview Request – A New Paradigm for True Freedom & Resilience

Dear Shawn Ryan & Team,

I recently watched your powerful interview with Julian Dorey, and I couldn’t help but recognize the urgency of the vulnerabilities you discussed—especially the power outage risks, the escalating health crisis, and the misguided climate change conversation. These are symptoms of a broken system, and what I’ve discovered is not just a patchwork solution—it’s a new paradigm that, if followed, makes people impervious to these vulnerabilities.

I’d love to come on your show to discuss how Nutritional Diversity unlocks the highest level of human resilience—from energy independence to immune system mastery, to food security, to stepping into true freedom.

Why This Conversation Matters:

Grid Failure? You Won’t Need It. –I hear your sincere concern! A properly designed society, in harmony with nature, will produce sustainably its own electric, in ways you would not think of now, but I can present to everyone through your outlet. A properly fueled body and mind can endure extreme conditions, and this independence starts with knowledge. Nutritional Diversity is the key to thriving in an off-grid or disrupted world.

Health Crisis? Solved. – The pharmaceutical system profits off weakness. Nutritional Diversity restores unshakable vitality, cognitive power, and immune strength by unlocking ancient nutritional intelligence.

Climate Change Debate? Over. – Regenerative agriculture and Nutritional Diversity not only heal the planet but also make individuals untouchable to food shortages and engineered scarcity.

The Truest Freedom Page – God’s Page. – This isn’t just about food. It’s about reclaiming human power. This system taps into the soul’s alignment with nature, divine order, and self-mastery.

Beyond the knowledge and implementation of Nutritional Diversity, I’m also working to reinvent the supplement industry from the ground up. I can help create the ultimate supplements—formulations that aren’t just trendy powders and pills but true nutritional powerhouses designed for optimal absorption, microbiome health, and long-term resilience. The entire manufacturing and delivery system for supplements needs a massive overhaul, eliminating synthetic garbage and creating highly bioavailable, full-spectrum nutrition solutions. This is another layer of the paradigm shift—equipping people with real tools, not industry gimmicks.

This movement can be driven and co-solutioned by homeless individuals, non-violent criminals, untasked military personnel, departments of ecology, and even drones—providing solutions in ways that repurpose resources effectively while restoring health and resilience at scale.

Adding to the gravity of this conversation, there is also a riveting real-life murder story running in the background—one that will have viewers glued to their screens. I arrived in Panama claiming his remains after he was brutally murdered in a scheme that targeted multiple Americans for their property. This story was later covered in an ABC special and bestselling books. At the same time, I became the target of another devastating event—the kidnapping and alienation of my daughter through a manipulative and corrupt system – soul-shakingly the same thing that sent the murderer on his killing spree. After losing my daughter and being locked out of the country on false claims, I wanted to kill everyone I saw, and for this reason, I went into the Jungle and lived there for about 5 years. These personal tragedies fueled my mission, shaping my understanding of resilience, truth, and survival in ways that few have experienced firsthand. I was given the concept of nutritional diversity through prayer.

What makes this even more critical is that my personal tragedy is not unique—over 22 million children have been affected by this form of psychological warfare, described by experts as the ultimate form of child abuse. Parental alienation is a silent epidemic, stripping children of their connection to a loving parent, often leaving them emotionally scarred for life. By exposing this issue alongside the greater paradigm shift, we shine a light on the deeper control mechanisms at play and offer real solutions for breaking free.

This is more than a conversation. It’s a wake-up call for those who are ready to break free from every form of control—nutritional, environmental, and spiritual. I know your audience is hungry for real solutions, and this is the most powerful, actionable strategy they will hear.

Let’s make this happen. Looking forward to your thoughts!

Best, Brandon Angel, Nutritional Diversity Sciences
