Quin has been doing Intermittent Fasting to achieve a better focus and a clear mind.
This
is Quin Amorim, host of QA Selling Online. And today, I'm full of energy
because I'm doing a new special diet.
I
don't really wanna say “diet”, but anyway I'm doing intermittent fasting.
For
those of you that already heard of it and know what it is, you know exactly how
I feel and what's going on. For those that don't know, intermittent fasting is
basically when you stop eating for a certain period of time.
There's
lots of ways to do it. For example, I downloaded an app just to track what I
do. It's called Zero Fasting. It just measures how long I've been without
eating and then give me a period of time to eat. And you can start and do for
example 16 and 8, which is 16 hours is the period you don't eat and then you
have eight hours to eat only. And then you can do 20 and 4. And you can also do
18 and 6. All right. So basically let's say 20 and 4 is you go 20 hours per day
without eating and then you can have one meal a day basically and go 4 hours.
That's it.
Now
why am I doing it?
It
is for several reasons. The main one is to get mental clarity and focus. So
I've heard several entrepreneurs doing this. Some are doing 36-46 hours and
they get an incredible focus. Their mind becomes super sharp. And they can, you
know, be more active with their brain.
Basically
their brain power becomes better. And I wanted that.
Everybody
I guess wants that, right? To have a little bit more focus, to be able to be
more productive and do more and better things.
That
was the main reason for me. The second reason was of course with this, can lose
some weight and get more energy as well, physically. So I'm going to do it for
that reason as well. I'm on day 2 or actually this is day 3. And I wanted to do
the 16 and 8. I figured that will be super easy if I don't eat a few hours
before bed then sleep, for example, 7 hours if you sleep... so let's do eight
so the math is easier.
If
you sleep 8 hours, half of your time is gone already. So you be spent 8 hours
sleeping, so you have 16 hours that you don't eat. If you wait 3 hours before
bed, now we're talking about 11 hours gone, so you only have five hours of
basically that you have to be awake without eating. It's super easy.
Now,
I decided to do that one but ended up going 20 and 4, just because it became so
easy after beating the first day without eating, it became so easy that I was
actually no longer hungry.
I
just wanted to eat because of the addiction of eating and I wanted things that
taste good but I didn't necessarily... I wasn't necessarily hungry. So I did 20
and 4, 20 and 4 and this is day 3 like I said . So I'm keeping that routine.
The routine the app is tracking everything. There's also a lot of tips when it
comes to your health, what you can and cannot do, how long you can do it for,
how many any days you can do this in a row – it tracks everything. It also
tracks your weight. The only thing it cannot track is the brain power, the
clarity the you get and so much focus. That is just fantastic.
Of
course, I'm not affiliated with the app or anything like that but if you just
want to try it out, you can do it. You don't need an app, of course. You can
track things if you have your watch your iPhone and basically that is it.
That's what I'm doing now.
So
with that said, I still want to read maybe a couple questions here related to
selling online just so I can stick with the theme of the podcast. And I'm just
going to grab over here my email. Sorry I'm doing it as we speak. Here we go.
“Can
you guide me on what to sell on Amazon FBA?”
OK.
So I can guide you basically on what category to sell. I won't guide you
exactly on what product to sell. I won't tell you go ahead by a silicone
spatula and sell silicone spatula. I will not say that. But what I can tell you
is that the research of what to sell is one of the most important things. I was
