Why Do Carbs Make You Hungry

here’s a question why do carbs make us hungry all right so there’s two reasons one is that when you consume carbs you spike the hormone insulin because the purpose of insulin is to remove the carbs from your bloodstream and the body will then convert that into stored sugar in your liver and your muscles and if there’s excess it’ll convert it to fat in different places in your body but insulin’s job is to lower glucose now when the glucose becomes lower in the blood because you just spiked insulin this is where you’re going to crave more carbs and also just you’re just your appetite’s going to go up you’re going to be hungry so that’s number one low blood sugars will cause you to be hungry and number two insulin itself triggers hunger so the more insulin you have the more hungry you’re going to be and there’s a condition called insulin resistance and that’s created from eating chronic amount of carbs over many years to the point where your body is compensating by producing a lot more insulin to compensate for the resistance because it can’t get into the cells and so you’re going to be hungry all the time now the higher the glycemic index the faster the insulin spike and the more that it drops down into the lower part right here and so let’s say for example you consume a bowl of rice okay and there’s some type of sweet sauce on that and you’re at a restaurant like a chinese restaurant and you consume that it’s like maybe let’s say it’s a thai restaurant right because they have a lot of spicy great foods and it’s a lot of hidden sugar and they also have msg in there which also spikes insulin what’s going to happen you’re going to feel real good for a while you’re going to feel satisfied and then you’re going to leave the restaurant and all of a sudden you’re going to be like man i’m hungry where did that come from well what happened it spiked your insulin and now it’s removing all that sugar now you’re going to end up with low blood sugars so you’re probably going to go home and look for something sweet because you’re hungry now if you were to have a carbohydrate like let’s say a salad that is a carb it has fiber but fiber has no response on your insulin plus it’s nutrient dense you’re not going to get this massive spike probably like this and it’s not going to come down too far so you’re not going to get hungry after you consume a salad now to stimulate the appetite if you really wanted to stimulate your appetite consume a lot of empty carbohydrates refined carbohydrates breads pasta cereal crackers candy things like that sodas and that’s a great way to stimulate appetite because there’s no nutrients in there to satisfy the brain there’s all sorts of receptors in the brain that are signaling and getting feedback from the food that you eat and so one message that the brain is going to get to turn off hunger is okay we reached our amount of nutrients if there’s no nutrients in there it’s not going to turn off and you’re going to keep eating and eating and eating this is why it’s so easy to sit down and consume you know loaf of bread or this is why it’s so easy to sit down and consume a whole bunch of bread or refined carbs in one sitting like doritos for example in college i used to consume not just a small bag of doritos but the mega or a bulk bag of doritos literally it was this big i would sit down in one sitting and consume that whole thing why because i never got satisfied it was just good i just kept having it and then i was so thirsty afterwards because i was so filled with sodium my fingers would swell up because all that sodium and the fluid just kind of was retained all right another thing that will stimulate appetite is low fat or lean protein why because low-fat protein will stimulate insulin and the other thing is that fat satisfies you and so if there’s not enough fat to satisfy you you’re just doing protein and that’s going to stimulate an appetite this is why snacking on lean protein or beef jerky in between meals is not a good idea and then frequent eating if you’ve been watching my videos you’ve heard me say this a million times but more frequent you eat the greater the appetite why because every time you eat you trigger insulin regardless of what you eat now this is how you satisfy your hunger more fatty foods okay number two lower carbs i’ve already covered that three nutrient dense foods that also includes nutrient-dense carbs as in vegetables cruciferous things like that seafood is very nutrient-dense shellfish is extremely nutrient-dense organ meats are extremely nutrient dense very satisfying okay the more fiber something has for example if you’re doing uh vegetables and like celery it’s very rich with fiber that is going to buffer the insulin response greatly so you’re not going to ever gain weight or have an insulin problem when you’re consuming the carbohydrate celery all right bile if you don’t consume enough fat which by the way is the trigger of bile bile production from your liver and stored in the gallbladder you’re gonna end up with lower amounts of bile and if you don’t have enough bile you can’t extract some of the fat soluble nutrients that are very satisfying to your body and also trigger your brain that you you can turn off eating and so having enough bile having a healthy gallbladder how having a healthy liver can give you enough bile to give you more extraction of the certain nutrients that you need to satisfy the body if you’re deficient in bile like it’s like you just you’re just going to feel uh hungrier okay fasting now if you’re new to my channel i’m just going to explain this how can not eating get rid of hunger well you’re actually switching your metabolism from running on glucose especially the dietary sugars and carbs to running off your own body’s fat and to do that there’s a transition it takes a little bit might take three days but you’re not fasting for three days you’re just going to not eat so frequently and then what’s going to happen your body is going to convert over to running on fat and your hunger is going to completely disappear for those people that are new to my channel i put a link down below of exactly what diet you should be on the other cool thing about doing all of these things right here is that they fix insulin resistance and the more you’re fixing some resistance the lower the insulin will go the faster the metabolism will be and the more satisfied you’re going to be because insulin resistance also blocks the nutrients from going into the cell so if you have insulin resistance especially if it’s chronic like a lot of people have you’re going to rarely be satisfied after you eat so that’s why you have to take additional nutrients to satisfy you all right thanks for watching hey before you go real quick i have a course entitled how to bulletproof your immune system it’s a free course i want you to take it and here’s why here’s you here is
