hey guys listen we’re talking about something actually I think it’s quite interesting insulin resistant fat cells and the other videos I’ve done I’ve talked about insulin resistance in just cells in general but you actually could be insulin resistant in your fat cells let me explain so in the muscle if your insulin resistant which basically means that the receptors stop absorbing in fun ok so now we have a situation where insulin doesn’t work anymore but the body will make more of it so it starts making a ton of it so an average person with insulin resistance which by the way the majority of population has instant resistance it produces between five to seven times more insulin than they need to ok so if we have that in the muscle the person’s not going to absorb glucose so they can’t get their fuel in the muscle ok so then the body produces more insulin to drive it in there and again I’m not talking about a situation where you’re on keto in a minute fascinating that’s going to correct it I’m talking about everyone before that stage before they implement those two things now in the liver we have a problem with glucose storage we can no longer store glucose as glycogen ok and we can’t release it so we have a kind of a catch-22 we can’t store it we can’t release it so glucose really is not an option anymore for fuel and the liver and then we have issues but in the fat cell this is what happens the fat cell basically has receptors for insulin and they get blocked and now the fat cell stops absorbing fat it’s full okay now that you might say that’s a good thing right now because now we get deposits of fat in other tissues we get deposits of the stuff that’s in the fat cell which is triglycerides and other types of fat it’s going to go in the viscera which is the organs around the organs in the arteries around the arteries inside the artery wall in the liver as a fatty liver in and around the muscles ok so some people get confused because they’ve seen studies where you’d have a pre-diabetic or someone that is insulin resistant and they usually have high levels of triglycerides the muscle tissue and they might in their mind think wow so it’s really the the cholesterol and the fat that someone’s eating that’s causing the insulin resistance no no no no the insulin resistance is causing the fat to no longer accept these triglycerides and they’re backing up into the other tissues around the muscle and so this is late on the a chain it’s the effect of these other things it’s not causing it because if you consume saturated fats or cholesterol rich foods without the carbs you don’t have a problem with these issues at all in fact your body will be forced to start cleaning all this up taking the fat out of this because you’re running on ketones and that’s why this whole model of running your body on glucose is not workable for the average person because you start developing instant resistance and now we have problems in the tissues so a natural healthy thing would be to convert to keto so we can avoid this and actually heal instead of resistance all right thanks for watching hey thank you so much for watching keep spreading the word and share this video
