so I have another question is your fiber making you fat okay now realize that fiber is a carbohydrate however it doesn’t have enough direct effect on blood sugars okay and you can’t even digest it it’s not even for you it’s for your microbes so the benefit of vegetable fiber when that’s what I recommend is that the microbes turn it into this natural healthy fat called butyrate okay and butyrate actually reduces insulin resistance and which means it’s going to lower insulin which means it’s gonna help you lose weight just from that one effect right here also microbes will make B vitamins okay which will help in other ways so the vegetable fibers that you consume from your salad whatever give you vitamins and minerals and trace minerals and those are all absorbed in the small intestine the butyrate in the large intestine from the microbes okay B vitamins also the vegetable fiber buffers the pH from the like the meats that you consume that are acidic so we have that buffer effect and also you get phytonutrients from vegetables as well in theory the fiber should help you lose weight however here’s the problem if you have low amounts of microbes that is the thing that’s going to cause you to gain weight because even people when they go on an antibiotic and they kill off their microbes they start gaining weight as a side effect they give antibiotics to animals to make them get fat and get bigger so the combination of low microbes in the gut and then adding more fiber when these women basically we we don’t have enough microbes to eat all the fiber you’re gonna get bloating gas all sorts of issues so when you start consuming 7 to 10 cups of vegetables a day and you just feel bloated well this is the reason why right here so the fiber is actually making things worse so you might have to cut back a little bit and start building up your micro flora the other thing is that bile from your gall bladder is recycled from the microbes if you don’t have enough microbes there to recycle the bile which by the way it recycles it 4 to 12 times in a given okay then what’s gonna happen is you’re not gonna have enough file one of the functions BIOS to help you prevent a fatty liver okay so that’s an important one also it helps in lowering blood sugars and improving insulin resistance so just from that chain reaction you could actually gain weight just from that one thing you need to know is antibiotics destroy the microbes so you say well I don’t take antibiotics well here’s the problem seventy percent of all the antibiotics that are sold in the US are sold to livestock so basically if you consume non-organic hormone injected you know beef chicken turkey things like that then you’re getting a dose of that antibiotic okay so that could be one reason GMO foods there’s a chemical called glyphosate okay that’s been patented as an antibiotic so if you’re consuming GMO foods which is pretty much all the non-organic boots you’re gonna kill off your microbes so you have to do organic as much as possible artificial sweeteners also lower the microbes and there’s a lot of other things as well so not enough microbes can actually added the why you’re adding the fiber is not a good combination because we just want to feed feed them what they can eat not anything more and then there’s a condition called SIBO small intestinal bacterial overgrowth this is a situation where you have too much bacteria in the wrong place you have it in the small intestine it normally should be in large intestine if it’s in the small intestine what it does is it starts to compete for your food it starts eating your food and you don’t get the nutrients from your food so you start developing all sorts of nutritional deficiencies so if you’re adding fiber and feeding these microbes in the wrong place they’re gonna actually grow and multiply so you’re gonna have a worse problem down the road so you don’t want to give too much fiber in this situation where you don’t have enough microbes and in this situation where you have too much microbe in the wrong place I put a link down below on a video I did for this right here so you can get more data on that so the key is not to omit this right here but just to really make sure that you support the microbes there’s so many people that start to reestablish their friendly bacteria and they finally start losing weight and they’re finally able to handle more quantities of vegetable all right thanks for watching so I want to know about what you think about this video so please comment below and tell me what you think
