so editor the question will consuming more fat boost my metabolism okay let’s talk about that there’s a couple factors that you need to know number one out of all the type of foods that you can eat fat is the lowest on the insulin index and what you need to know is that insulin is the hormone that not only stores fat but it actually prevents you from tapping into fat so what really affects the metabolism more than anything is the amount of insulin in your body and that also relates to how much insulin resistance you have because your body’s is going to make more insulin and slow down your metabolism to the point where no matter what you can’t lose weight so if you wanted to speed up your metabolism you want to keep insulin low also fat is the thing that will satisfy you and allow you to do intermittent fasting a lot longer because it is essential to allow yourself to go longer without eating and not being hungry okay in a minute fasting is the other tool to really help reduce insulin and heel insulin resistance to the point where your metabolism is a lot faster so fat is really a key thing to help you heal your metabolism now just to give you another example there’s another diet out there called the ideal protein diet okay I’m going to talk about that the good thing about ideal protein is it is low carb okay so you’re going to lower insulin and you are going to lose weight and they do recommend vegetables okay great the bad thing about ideal protein is that it is low fat low fat proteins now the problem with that if you’re going low fat guess what you’re going to be hungry all the time you’re not going to be satisfied and this is why they recommend four meals a day and the other big problem is that they’re recommending these powdered protein meals okay the quality is extremely low soy soy protein isolates you so oil which is GML milk proteins whey protein which is very low fat protein which is the highest thing on the insulin index okay and then some synthetic vitamins so it’s very low quality protein that is low fat and this is why you have to consume the frequent meals you’re gonna lose weight initially but because they’re low quality proteins your hair’s gonna be dry your skin’s gonna be dry I’ve noticed a lot of people when they do it they look older it’s not a healthy thing to do and I also noticed this in my clinic when people come in after doing it for a period of time a lot of them have gallbladder problems and liver problems and even gall stones because when you go low fat higher protein it’s really hard on the liver combined with doing this high omega-6 fatty acid GMO soy powder and also the milk that they’re using is from cows that are fed GMO grains so we’re having a combination of some inflammatory proteins which is not good for your liver when you go through phase 1 then phase 2 phase 3 phase 4 so you you start this diet you lose the weight and then these other phases like phase 3 you’re allowed to put the grains back in you’re allowed to put some of the sweet things back in okay and then the maintenance program I want to talk about that this is what they recommend in the maintenance program it’s an easy maintenance program okay breakfast you can actually start eating whole wheat bread and cereal again you can do yogurt and cottage cheese as long as it’s low fat you can do your fruit or fruit juice okay and coffee and then for lunch you can have meat and fish preferably lean meat no sauces side dish vegetables as much as you want wow that’s great and then they go fats are tolerated because they can’t be avoided I don’t understand what they mean by that dairy products cheese accompany with your salad cottage cheese low-fat and then yogurt low-fat yogurt with all the carbohydrates okay afternoon if you want a snack choose the following fruit yogurt whole-grain muffin or some dark chocolate dinner now check this out 150 to 200 grams of complex carbohydrates you have to weigh it and cook it so there’s three types starchy foods like potato grains wheat buckwheat corn or pulses lentils field beans and chickpeas to summarize you can choose from rice pasta lentils peas beans potatoes wheat as they contain complex carbohydrates the important thing to remember is that your dinner must contain little or no fat this is the same same old same old fat phobic idea that so many people still have ingrained in their minds but you can end your meal with a not too sweet dessert like cake rice pudding indulge in an evening dessert because you never had one at lunchtime so again this is why people have the problems they’re trying to lose weight they’re not trying to get healthy and the other idea that you have to lose weight to get healthy well guess what you’re gonna actually lose weight you’re not going to be any healthier you’re gonna look older you can have problems in your gallbladder and you go right back on the thing that created the problem in the first place now lastly I want to differentiate two things you have the metabolism okay then you have weight loss well eating fat boost my metabolism or will eating fat help me lose weight two different things okay fat is not going to lower your metabolism it’s going to help your metabolism because it’s eventually going to improve insulin resistance however if you’re consuming a lot of fat your body’s going to break down a certain portion of that into ketones which you can then run your body on is fuel so potentially if you’re consuming too much fat it might help your metabolism but you may not lose a lot of weight especially in the beginning especially if you have a slow metabolism because the fat that you’re running on is the dietary fat the MCT oil so you may need to make adjustments in the process of doing this especially if it was slow metabolism and keep your fat within certain ranges you don’t want to go low-fat maybe just keep your fat within the normal complex that it comes instead of adding MCT oil for example maybe just eat the fat that’s normally in the meat or the hamburger and the dairy and the fish or even the chicken so don’t take the skin off keep all that in there but just maybe not add that so I just wanted to emphasize this one little point again so you really get it we don’t want to go low-fat that’s gonna help us it’s gonna satisfy us it’s gonna reduce hunger it allow us to do in a minute fasting longer it’s not going to affect insulin but you may need to adjust the dietary fat and drop it down after you get into ketosis okay and you’re not hungry anymore maybe even down to 75 grams per day this is not low by the way but don’t start doing like the chicken without the skin or the low fat burger or the low fat meat always consume the fat that protein comes with so for example with cheese you do whole milk cheese you’re not doing low-fat anything you just don’t want to go low-fat because your hunger is gonna be high and you need that fat for the gallbladder to release bile and the fat is used structurally to build the brain the nervous system your skin and your immune system alright thanks for watching if you’re liking this content please subscribe now and
