you know there’s nothing worse than having someone give you the wrong diagnosis they’ll say you have a slow metabolism right because you can’t lose weight fast so when you’re given this false diagnosis then you’re very susceptible to doing the wrong thing because then you’re going to be focused on trying to find some thing to boost your metabolism well that doesn’t work in reality the problem is not a slow metabolism let me explain so what is metabolism you have all these chemical reactions going in your body whether you’re breaking down food into energy or building things back up into body tissue like repairing things like maintaining temperature and eliminating waste all that is part of metabolism some people tell you to create a negative caloric condition where you’re consuming less calories than you’re eating okay eat less and then you need to exercise more and then after about six months of doing this you haven’t really lost a pound they basically heat up these calories and burn them okay in a lab to determine how much energy is in a carbohydrate fat and protein but in the body in a biological system things work completely different you have a lot more complexities going on number one you have hormones and that’s really the missing factor is the hormone influence over your specific calories so hormones are basically the communications in your body and the very important hormone that relates to whether you burn fat or store fat is insulin so the insulin message is store fat if insulin goes up you store fat if insulin goes down it’s a different message it’s burn fat so in reality if insulin is too high that is going to mimic a slow metabolism because as soon as you lower it you start to burn fat but if that hormone is just a little too high not only will you not be able to burn fat but the body’s going to enhance the storage of calories into fat you see this video is all about focusing in on the real problem so then you can have an actual solution to fix it if we know what triggers insulin and how to inhibit it then you will know how to lose weight and you’re about to find out why that is so different than thinking you have a slow metabolism and you need to speed up your metabolism it just actually will make things worse whether you’re taking like caffeine or energy boosters or certain herbs that stimulate your metabolism they end up burning out your metabolism so before i get into the triggers let me just explain what happens when this hormone insulin goes up you’re going to experience several symptoms okay you’re gonna find that you’re hungry more often you’re gonna crave carbohydrates you’re gonna have frequent urination especially at night you’re gonna have a tendency to have more belly fat you’re gonna have fatigue you’re gonna have cognitive issues because you’re going to have brain fog you’re not going to be able to focus as well your mood is going to be affected you might feel more grouchy you might have more anxiety and you’re definitely going to have more liver fat and that’s really what’s creating a spill off into your abdominal area where you have belly fat you’re also going to notice that your set point okay that weight that you just can’t get below is going to be really stuck if not raised so in other words let’s say you you do all these different methods of trying to lose weight and you just can’t seem to get below 160 or 155 you’re just stuck there well that is called a set point and insulin is really behind the set point the inability to continue to lose weight and there’s one more really interesting symptom related to this if your insulin is too high you will start or your liver will start making extra sugar not from sugar from your diet but from other things like your own fat and protein that’s called gluconeogenesis gluco meaning sugar neo meaning new genesis meaning the creation of and you’re making new sugars because of a very interesting situation where your insulin has been chronically high for so long you develop this other condition called insulin resistance which means your body has to compensate and make more insulin to create the same effect so you have certain parts of your body where you’re expressing symptoms of too much insulin yet other parts of your body where you’re experiencing too little insulin and one common thing that you see especially with diabetics that have insulin resistance which they always do is this extra production of sugar from your liver and you usually see it when a person comes off the sugar and then they have high sugars especially in the morning and they’re like where this coming from well it’s coming from this insulin resistance situation all right so now let’s talk about two different things we’ll talk about what triggers insulin and what inhibits insulin if you understand both sides of the coin then you personally can control your own weight okay so what triggers insulin well it’s carbs okay carbs and definitely sugar okay what inhibits insulin low carbs that’s the ketogenic diet all right another big trigger to insulin is frequent eating okay like snacking and grazing there’s nothing more powerful to trigger insulin and stop you losing weight then the small snacks through the day because you’re constantly triggering insulin all day long and it’s this chronic sustained high insulin that puts you in a situation where you’re just not going to lose weight no matter what so that means one of the things that inhibit insulin is fasting okay intermittent fasting this is why we recommend keto intermittent fasting and that is so powerful to address what you think might be a slow metabolism in reality it’s just an insulin problem another thing that will trigger insulin is excessive amounts of protein especially if it’s low fat or no fat protein as in whey protein powder that on the insulin index is pretty darn high now of course that doesn’t compare to eating sugar but it’s still a factor that could be a problem all right now on the inhibiting side okay what will keep insulin low and make insulin more sensitive and less resistance is exercise specifically resistance training okay working your whole body at a certain volume and in certain uh intensity uh that’s very very beneficial for insulin resistance and there’s two other things that will not trigger insulin okay one is fiber natural fiber from things like vegetables now i’m not talking about the fake fibers like fiber yum for example which is a synthetic fiber which will definitely increase your insulin i’m talking about the natural fiber from vegetables not the fiber from grains because grains comes with too many carbs but actual really healthy type natural fiber and then we have fat okay fat apparently does not trigger insulin and this is very surprising to people because they’ve been taught that you need to avoid fat with a slow metabolism well guess what they didn’t really have a slow metabolism in the first place they had too much insulin and fat is one of the things that doesn’t trigger insulin interesting now as far as eating fat goes um as long as you keep your carbs low you’re going to be totally fine that’s why the ketogenic diet has is a good percentage of fat because we keep our carbs really really low and we keep moderate amount of protein all right another trigger for this insulin is stress okay when the stress goes up the cortisol goes up another name for cortisol is glucocorticoids because it’s a hormone that also controls glucose to a certain degree and it will turn your proteins even your body tissue into glucose one of the side effects of high levels of sustained cortisol output is diabetes because you’re changing the protein into glucose and it’s not coming from the dietary sugars it’s coming from stress so stress can make you fat but it ultimately comes back to the insulin because the cortisol is raising t
