i have a question for you what ruins your metabolism more is it dieting or stress today we’re going to find out now this topic is interesting especially if you have a problem losing weight or you get stuck or you have a plateau the question is what do you focus on what do you do so you’re not spitting your wheels and you can get some major results there are various factors involved we have current dieting and past dieting you have your stress level you have your sleep you have your age right which you can’t really do anything about you have what you eat carbohydrates for example proteins fats you might have this idea that maybe you need to eat smaller meals frequent meals to stimulate your metabolism then you have exercise do you exercise more or maybe you start eating healthier what do you do and what has the biggest impact on your metabolism well i have some interesting news for you and you might want to be sitting down for this okay your metabolism is not ruined your metabolism is not damaged or destroyed these things right here do not ruin your metabolism they actually make your metabolism more efficient in fact if you are overweight you should get a t-shirt i’m not overweight i’m just more efficient it sounds a lot better let me explain what i mean you have some people that can burn fat very easily and without much effort really you need other people that boy they they have to do extreme things to be able to burn fat and what’s really happening at the cellular level is that their fat cells are very very efficient at um releasing energy fat cells do not like to waste energy so what is the solution well to make your body waste more fat and as a little side note what’s interesting about the ketogenic diet is that you’re wasting a lot of fat not only are you primarily burning fat you’re peeing out excessive ketones and you’re even breathing out your fat that’s why you can test ketones through your breath and your urine so what is being efficient well your energy system your fat cells and this is just a survival mechanism really what controls this you guessed it insulin okay the pancreas makes insulin insulin’s job is to store energy store calories it’s a fat storing hormone when it’s high when the insulin is low the body then can burn fat okay so if the insulin is high you can’t burn fat only when it’s low so the idea is to keep insulin very low we’ve got the pancreas that makes insulin a little cell called the beta cell here and what happens over time is when the insulin is too high repetitively then your body starts rejecting it and it starts to become more efficient by causing a resistance to that receptor the problem is we don’t get this return communication back to the pancreas so we don’t get the message back to the pancreas that there’s a problem there’s a blockage and so the pancreas just goes okay well i’m just going to produce more so the pancreas is being ignored so it just keeps communicating more and more and more and we have a situation where we have both insulin resistance and too much insulin okay and with this message being so high your body is just like not going to burn fat and when it holds fat it’s being very very conservative and very efficient so really the problem is an alteration in the endocrine system okay now before i get into these items here i just need to explain something okay this is interesting let’s just talk about diabetes for a second we have diabetes we have pre-diabetes and then before that you have insulin resistance so in order to get pre-diabetes okay you have to first have insulin resistance and with insulin resistance we have this this compensation going on because think about it the messages aren’t getting through so then the body has to make more insulin to make up for the resistance so that’s to compensate okay so with pre-diabetes we’re getting less compensation so now this compensation mechanism is failing to a certain degree so now if we have less insulin being pumped out okay we have less control of blood sugars so now the blood sugars have no choice but they’re starting to go up because one of the functions of insulin is to take the sugar out of the blood and turn it into fat right so what happens is we don’t have as much of that and so now we’re getting higher sugars okay so they’re going to diagnose you as a pre-diabetic and then over time you become a diabetic now we have even less compensation we have even less insulin there so we have higher and higher levels of blood sugar okay so that’s really what happens with diabetes now normally when you get insulin resistance you don’t have the symptom of high blood sugar right your blood sugars are normal regardless of how much sugar you eat why because insulin is working like crazy to remove that sugar and unfortunately the doctors are only focused on the blood sugars and not the insulin levels you don’t go to a doctor and get your insulin level tested because if you did it’d be off the charts you see that test if done right here could make you aware of where you are so you never go into these two things right here but with insulin resistance you don’t have any symptoms of high blood sugar okay you do have other symptoms obesity why because of the relationship between insulin and your fat right you also have high cholesterol hydroglycerides you might have low hdl and high ldl and you might have high blood pressure and there’s a whole series of other symptoms you might have now when things get worse okay and let’s say you’re in this mode you might get really thirsty you might have frequent urination you might get really tired after you eat you can have more of a fatty liver now the way they diagnose this is they use an a1c what is an a1c test it basically measures how much sugar that is stuck to your blood cells you know the protein in your blood okay so that’s really what it what it tells us and it kind of gives you a measurement of how much sugar is in your bloodstream okay because if you look up obesity diabetes this is what they’re going to say they’re going to say yes what causes this problem is is definitely related to lifestyle and genetics but it’s still unclear what is the actual causative factor right i mean now to me i’m like are these people just completely ignorant or are they trying to cover something up or what it just doesn’t make sense because basically a test to tell us how much sugar is in your bloodstream so obviously this relates to diet right or other things that can affect the sugar in the blood i mean it’s just bizarre to me if we look at what they say about this relationship between cause and effect they will tell you that there are risk factors involved okay and that’s you know they might say like a sleep stress carbohydrates things like that but they won’t come out and say the actual causative factor okay so that’s interesting now let’s just talk about these factors that can ruin your metabolism or shall i say make your metabolism efficient well we have poor sleep right we have stress level we have dieting we have frequent meals inactivity all these different things here let’s start with sleep so if you’re not sleeping you’ll notice that you will be hungry the next day right your appetite will go up you will want to snack now there’s a couple reasons why one is there’s some there’s alteration hormones you might be tired and you’re trying to eat to get energy there’s also a spike in cortisol there’s also a spike in insulin and all these hormones can not just make you fat but can make you hungry all the time as well so they found in one study that just one night of poor sleep can increase the problem of insulin resistance okay to a significant degree and the risk factors of becoming a diabetic if you’re sleeping five hours or less is by 3x okay you’re 3x more likely to get diabetes if your sle
