hi guys I want to discuss another topic thats  related to the concern about adding more fat to your diet to lose weight so here you are going to  start a ketogenic diet and someone’s telling you you need to add more fat right has more calories  and you have a concern about that because it’s like wait a second if I add more fat that’s going  to cause more weight gain right I mean that sounds logical well in high school I was very very  skinny so I wanted to gain weight so I started eating more fat started losing weight I thought  it’s going to help me gain weight but we’ve been brainwashed into thinking that eating fat will  just make us fat so anyway um years and years and years of going on low-fat diets have thoroughly  proved that people do not lose weight on low-fat diets and here’s why okay what controls whether  you burn fat or not our hormones and the hormone that prevents you from losing weight is insulin  insulin and the presence of a little insulin you will not be able to burn fat okay so what triggers  insulin is carbohydrates sugars eating in general and excessive protein okay so look at this we got  what do we have we got carbs proteins and fats right so if you’re going to do a diet on low-fat  carbs and protein you’re going to you’re going to try your insulin there’s no other way around it so  fat is neutral is regards in regard to stimulating insulin that’s the only food that is neutral it  won’t trigger it but then again it won’t trigger any fat burning hormones either eating fat will  not cause you to like melt off fat that’s not how it’s going to work that’s not possible fat does  provide a lot of nutrition like fat-soluble vitamins vitamin A vitamin D which is necessary to get your  body healthy but fat in itself is not triggering the fat burning hormones fat is there as a neutral  food to consume to allow you to go longer without eating it’s very satisfying because if you were to  do a low-fat protein carbohydrate meal reason low fat protein you’re going to be so hungry you’re  not going to last and it will force you to eat more every time you eat you trigger insulin okay so  the point is that we need fat not crazy amounts that we need some to be able to do this eating  plan so if you’re still confused and you want to clarify all the details I put a link on a little  booklet that I put together it’s real simple you can get read this in an hour and it goat walks  through step by step of what I’m talking about but you don’t have to worry about fat especially  if you do this correctly it’s the only food that is neutral as far as insulin and the whole goal  is to reduce insulin I know it’s a new concept but definitely investigate it learn about it  and you’ll be glad that you did okay I put the link down there to check out more information  about the book thank you so much for watching
