So today we’re going to talk about some really really stupid advice okay it’s eating everything in moderation I’m not sure who came up with it but the definition of moderation is you’re avoiding extremes you’re consuming a reasonable amount of something something that’s kind of rational something that’s more balanced and of course a lot of people will say that keto is unbalanced it’s too extreme to lower these carbohydrates and of course there is no bad food group it’s about just eating everything in moderation so let’s go through the reasons why this is a really stupid idea the first thing is that low carbs really are not low carb unless you compare them to what everyone else is doing the average person consumes at least 65 percent of their calories being carbs and of course if you compare the keto to that which is five percent of your calories being carbs yeah that would be extreme that would that would be considered a low carb but even when we talk about moderation it’s so subjective is it 50 or is it 70 is it 80 what is a moderate amount of carbohydrate if we compare normal blood sugar okay this is a good reference what is normal blood sugar well I’d say about 80 milligrams per deciliter that would be considered normal right now there’s there’s a little range a little higher a little lower but I would say 80 would be a good average now how much sugar does that mean in your blood all of your blood well if you take 80 milligrams per deciliter that really only comes out to one teaspoon of sugar one teaspoon of sugar that is only 4. 2 grams of carbohydrate okay that’s pretty darn low because in keto we’re allowed up to 50 grams of carbohydrate it almost sounds like keto is kind of high carbs if you compare it to your blood sugars and then we have insulin resistance now a much more scientific name for that would be carbohydrate intolerance if you were lactose intolerant right or glucose intolerant would it be okay to consume milk sugar or gluten in moderation if you had an allergy to something would it be okay to expose yourself to that in a certain moderate amount well if the majority of population is truly insulin resistant and then allowing people to eat a moderate amount or a much greater than the 50 grams per day that is going to lead to a lot of problems with all sorts of things because the person is already carb intolerant they already have insulin resistance so what we’re going to do is we’re going to make it worse and that’s going to produce more insulin it’s going to produce more belly fat more liver fat more blood sugar problems more bad lipid profile problems high blood pressure and the list goes on and on and on now there are people that can tolerate carbohydrates it’s not the majority of the population but certain people can and for those people I’m not necessarily talking to them but they can tolerate more carbs I mainly focus on the majority of population which probably includes you watching this video right now the other point about insulin resistance if you have insulin resistance which probably you do your ability to absorb nutrients is going to be less your ability to absorb potassium and B vitamins and calcium and magnesium and zinc is going to be less because of those receptors involved with insulin which means you’re going to be less satisfied because it’s the nutrients many times that will satisfy us and tell us to stop eating anytime that we’re eating something that we don’t get these nutrients the turn off switch is not going to be there and this can cause you to overeat let’s move on to the next point which is your genetics now when I had my DNA tested there was a very specific Gene that showed up that I had a problem with and they call it the Sweet Tooth Gene which is called tas-1 are two if there’s a problem with this Gene I’m going to keep this really simple your ability to be satisfied from sugar is a lot less than someone else’s so this may means as soon as you start eating sugar you have a difficult time stopping and that is totally me my entire life once I start I can’t stop I mean I remember Halloween right I would collect huge bags of candy and I would literally eat the whole thing in one sitting there’s also 38 additional genes related to diabetes and if you have a mutation with those genes you’re more susceptible to eating more sugar and developing diabetes so if someone has a kind of a genetic issue not only will they gravitate to eating more sweets they’re much higher risk for cavities because they’re eating more sweets but that’s just the tip of the iceberg okay there’s a lot more health problems than just a cavity you’re talking about heart problems you’re talking about liver problems you talk about brain problems and then we get into another topic of Addicting Foods okay because when we’re talking about eating everything in moderation we’re mainly talking about junk Foods maybe alcohol maybe pleasure Foods sweets if you give me permission to eat a moderate amount of Doritos I will not be able to do that as soon as I start eating Doritos I have to consume the entire bag no matter how big it is obviously you have a combination of these incredibly flavored corn chips right with these great spices but with no nutrition at all with certain chemicals like monosodium glutamate that stimulates hunger and it just doesn’t satisfy you as soon as you eat this it tastes great but there’s no actual nutrition to turn off that switch so I will just keep eating more and more and more I mean try to eat just one Oreo cookie just a you know just a small amount you know everything in moderation and see what happens again this is really bad bad advice and then you have the topic of just refined Foods in general or you have like the pizza and the chips and the candy and the cookies because they’re not nutrient dense it’s very difficult to moderate that amount that you’re eating because your body will never get satisfied and this relates to the next part which is eating anything will stimulate insulin an insulin tends to increase hunger so just having a little bit of something which is going to make you more hungry and now you’re actually going round and round around you can’t go for any period of time without the need for food it’s a never-ending cycle okay it’s a trap because once you’re in it then you just have to constantly eat every hour and a half so this idea of everything in moderation is just really stupid across the board it’s really hard to have willpower when your physical low blood sugar issue is causing you to want it more and more you’re not going to be rational in fact do an experiment take your kids to the grocery store okay unfed okay and just go past the uh you know the chip aisle or the junk food aisle and see what happens they’re gonna be demanding okay that refined carb the only door to burning off your fat is through bringing your carbs down below 50 grams or less that is the only way you’re going to shift your metabolism into burning off the fat that you need to burn off of and also it’s the only way to being able to rely on your fat as your primary fuel source and not have the hunger okay when you burn fat the hunger goes away it makes everything work it’s easier to follow a program when you don’t need sugar when you are not hungry when you’re satisfied when you’re not eating okay your body is eating your own fat but only if you drop your carbs below 50 grams so this low carb thing really solves a lot of problems health-wise now if you’re
