there is nothing more frustrating than doing all the right things to try to lose weight and it doesn’t work you know your spouse loses weight or your friends are losing weight but you’re not and you’re wondering what am I doing wrong right and then your friends or spouse will dub in all the reasons why they think it’s not working and they’re usually wrong and then that can just make things worse give me the wrong diagnosis Etc I’ve done videos on this topic extensive videos on all the reasons why people don’t lose weight but today I’m going to share one additional reason that will make everything make sense if you have this problem so you’re not stuck in this mystery of what could it be okay it is true that past dieting social metabolism okay it is true that the longer you’ve had insulin resistance the harder it is to lose weight okay so we have that factor we also have people doing the right type of diet you know ketogenic diet low carbs doing intermittent fasting okay and then also applying it correctly that’s very very important and also your sleep is really important too so if you’re not sleeping your blood sugar is going to be off your stress hormones are going to be up and that can be the reason why you’re not losing weight as well and it could also be other health problems all of these are valid but there’s one more reason that I’ve never covered in any videos and that is your genes your genetics okay now this is a very interesting subject and I’m going to give you some solutions if your problem is genetic but I’m doing a deep dive into genetics right now and so I have some fascinating new information I’m going to share with you in upcoming videos but there’s something called a gene variant and a gene is basically a blueprint that tells the body what to do and there’s all sorts of environmental things lifestyle things that can affect your genes uh positive and negative but within individuals there’s certain variations of certain genes that act differently so one person could have a fast metabolism and another person could actually have a slow metabolism one person can burn fat slowly the other one can burn fat very quickly some people are just always hungry and no matter how much they eat they can still keep eating whereas other people can get satisfied very quickly with food then you also have all these different behaviors you know like with Suites for example certain people when they start eating sweets they can’t stop right they just will keep eating and keep eating and they keep eating for some reason other people might go after fatty foods and maybe some other people might go after more protein and then you’ll exercise you take two people right they’re working out the same one person loses the other person doesn’t so this can be very very frustrating if you don’t understand there could be a genetic Factor now you may consider this a weakness okay within your genes but it’s not really a weakness if you understand the body is always trying to survive and do its best within its environment and so these genetic variances are not errors they’re just things that happen within our genetics long ago and those genes now do not help us in the current environment we’re in so let’s just take metabolism okay what would be the survival advantage of having a slow metabolism and burning fat slower and retaining fat right versus other people they’re just very lean and they burn very very brightly so what would be the advantage of someone with a slow metabolism well if you take a look at thousands of years ago let’s say in the caveman era if you had a slow metabolism and you could retain fat easier and hold fat longer you’re the one that survived the people who couldn’t store fat would die off easily but of course in this environment nowadays it doesn’t help that there’s so much food available now what about the person who when they eat sugar they just can’t stop what would be the survival advantage of that well let’s say for example there’s not a lot of food and you’re foraging through the woods and you happen to come across a beehive filled with honey right and this is a lot of energy right this can give you a lot of survival energy by consuming all of that beehive you wouldn’t necessarily just eat a little bit you’d probably eat the whole thing and that would help you survive versus someone else that wouldn’t necessarily eat those carbohydrates because eating those concentrated carbohydrates would then very easily convert to Fat which would give you more Storage Fuel to live longer but that doesn’t actually help you in this environment when there’s so many different types of Honey around or other sugars in fact when I have my genetics tested I have kind of a gene variant related to Sugar that once I start I can’t stop which makes total sense because growing up I was the kid that would eat massive amounts of sugar almost like I was not surviving that I would have to hoard it because I thought maybe I wasn’t going to eat tomorrow that’s kind of the thought process that was going through my mind in fact during Halloween right we would have bags of candy I would eat the whole thing in one night I mean that’s just crazy and I did that for years and so in this environment it can be very very deadly to your health the problem with these Gene variants especially as it relates to losing weight it’s just that you’re in the wrong environment now right you’re no longer in that environment where it helped you survive so I’m going to give you some tips on what you should do first of all realize this you could be doing everything right it’s not that you’re doing anything wrong okay it’s just that it’s going to take longer it’s going to take more work you have certain genes that are still operating like you’re still living a thousand years ago when it’s actually 2022. so number one give it some time number two um chances are you’re gonna have to be very strict with your carbohydrates whereas someone else can tolerate more carbohydrates you probably can’t number three I would definitely add more fasting more prolonged fasting fast longer that’s going to help you that’s something you can do that’s called an epigenetic action something that control your genes and greatly help you because we want to mimic the environment in the past which you didn’t eat three meals a day you’d be lucky if you ate once a day or once every other day now if you’re like me okay and you have a problem with sugar you’re gonna have to completely avoid sugar like just a little bit of sugar here and there is not going to help you because that’s going to lead to more and more sugar and that is one reason why why I don’t eat any sugar and I have enough knowledge and discipline just to avoid it but I could very easily slip into that sugar thing and just consume a massive amount and this may also include avoiding some of the keto snacks that are sweet or um even the sugar alcohols you might not do well with them why because you’re still getting the sensation of sweet it might be definitely better and good for a transition if you also have a problem with being satisfied okay and you’re just always hungry you just enjoy food the way to handle that is to really get into a deeper level of ketosis where your body is really adapted to Fat it’s burning fat 24 7. and you just absolutely have no appetite whatsoever that’s the best way to handle the appetite thing and of course when you’re eating eat nutrient-dense foods and that way your cells will be satisfied so many people when they do keto they don’t focus on the nutrients so yeah yes you’re in your body in ketones but the nutrients in the food actually help satisfy you if you ever eat an empty tomato or some of the food that’s empty like let’s take Doritos right you can’t just have one right you have to have the whole bag it’
