warning you may never snack again after watching this video i’m going to tell you why snacking is a very interesting and important topic to talk about um why do people snack well they want to prevent overeating right they snacked for appetite control but what’s really interesting about that is the snacking increases insulin which triggers hunger about an hour and a half to two hours later so snacking increases appetite and encourages overeating now why do people snack is it always because they’re hungry maybe because they’re craving maybe but people snack for different reasons stress depression anxiety for social reasons because other people are doing it they’re at some social activity sometimes people eat just because it’s there it’s available and sometimes people snack because of previous foods that they ate maybe earlier in the day or the night before which is creating a craving for example i used to be addicted to doritos okay if i ate doritos i could not just eat one i ate the whole bag and then the next day i wanted doritos the same thing when i got into this whole ben and jerry addiction where i was consuming a pint of ben and jerry every night before bed i couldn’t wait till the next day until i had that ice cream so i have a question for you what is worse snacking or a high carb diet now when i’m talking about these two different factors i’m talking about if you’re on a high carb diet and you’re not snacking versus just snacking in general well i believe if you compare these two factors snacking is worse than a high carb diet now when i weighed 211 pounds some years ago my face was round i had a lot of blood sugar issues and i was eating pretty good but i was consuming an apple with peanut butter uh mid morning and mid afternoon and that was the only thing that i then changed okay i cut out that snack and i dropped down to 180 pounds and i’m still convinced that it was the snacking that was creating the problem so i think it would be a very good experiment if you’re new to my channel and you snack just to try this one experiment don’t change any of the foods that you’re eating just push those foods to the meal and have just three meals a day but nothing in between and just see what happens but my theory is that snacking is worse than a high carb diet now of course i recommend a low carb diet and no snacking but i think that if you compare these two factors this is worse there is an interesting study i will post it down below that concluded that snacking is the only independent factor that contributes to weight gain in children and at first i was thinking about well you know it’s probably the amount of junk food they eat and things like that but the more that i looked at that the snacking variable made more sense especially since growing up in the 70s i remember all of us consuming a tremendous amount of junk food but we definitely did not snack as much as people do now but snacking definitely started increasing in 1977 and it gradually increased through the 80s and the 90s to the point where we are now where about 97 of children are snacking now but at least in the early 70s people did not snack as much we had three meals a day and we did not nearly have the obesity that we have now now there are really two main ways that you stimulate insulin there’s actually three but we’re going to just talk about two one is eating a high carb diet number two is eating eating in general triggers insulin okay so it’s high carbs and eating and i’m just going to put snacking just because if you’re eating three meals and adding two snacks you’re really creating this repetitive frequent spike in insulin all day long and you don’t give your pancreas a chance to come down and reset it would be like exercising six times a day versus you know a few times a day or even one time a day so anything that triggers insulin too much eventually creates insulin resistance okay insulin resistance is a state where you have a lot more insulin being pumped out by the pancreas but it’s not being received okay on the receptor end so we have certain parts of our body that are low on insulin but other parts of our body that have way too much insulin so with someone with insulin resistance if they ever uh tested insulin itself they would probably find they have too much insulin in the blood that’s called hyper insulin anemia and so when you have insulin resistance you usually have too much insulin unless you’re a diabetic for a period of time and the pancreas gets burned out and then the insulin starts going down down down now normally insulin inhibits the formation of your liver making uh sugar okay that’s called gluconeogenesis so when you have insulin that goes up okay your liver stops making this new insulin right so you can eat sugar from your diet and have a high blood sugar or your liver can actually make insulin out of non-carbohydrate sources like from protein or fat or even ketones and then your liver can start making insulin even though you’re not consuming any sugar okay and so the question is how can you have too much insulin in the blood and still have a high level of this liver making new sugar well that’s because you have insulin resistance okay it’s not working so the feedback loops tell the pancreas we’re not receiving the signal pump out more and more insulin okay so for those people who have insulin resistance which i really think it’s the majority of the population they have an increased gluconeogenesis so the liver is just pumping a lot of sugar this explains too why you go on a ketogenic diet and your blood sugar is still high you’re on a low carb diet but in the morning your blood sugar is too high like what is up with that well that’s just because you have insulin resistance okay so let me just quickly go through the things that occur when you have too much insulin in your body it affects your cognitive function your memory starts to go downhill you get brain fog you lose focus your mood is altered you start getting depressed anxiety irritable it increases your cancer risk by two times okay so it doubles your cancer risk you gain weight especially in the midsection your visceral area it increases your risk of getting cardiovascular disease and stroke and diabetes and high blood pressure and pcos your muscles become weak your appetite increases okay so eating makes you hungry like i said before about an hour and a half later uh you start developing amyloid plaquing in your brain which is kind of a precursor for for alzheimer’s you definitely get a fatty liver your vision becomes altered where you can’t see as well kidney issues and neuropathy which is problems with your nerves on the bottom of your feet there are two foods that don’t trigger insulin we know that carbs will do it we know that an excessive amount of protein will increase insulin but the two foods that don’t trigger insulin are fat and fiber okay and i’m not talking about all the new synthetic fibers that they’re putting in all these keto treats i’m talking about fiber from vegetables i’m not talking about the fiber from grains which basically have a lot of carbohydrate in them i’m talking about the fibrous leafy greens okay so this is what i’m going to recommend from this video okay so obviously you want to stop snacking as a first action maybe you push your snack to the meal as a dessert okay just do that i promise that will you’ll do better okay you’ll at least go in the right direction and then the step two would be starting to go on a low carb diet which will lower insulin and decrease the impulse to snack number two start increasing the fat in your diet especially at the end of the meal to help your body become more satisfied so you can fast longer and avoid the snacking trying to handle the snacking issue on a low-fat diet is very very difficult but remember fat won’t trigger ins
