did you realize that nuts are actually not  a healthy snack now before you click off  

just hear me out one ounce of nuts is roughly  about 14.2 grams of fat six grams of protein  

6.1 grams of carbs but 3.6 grams of fiber giving  you a 2.5 grams net carbs so it’s low carb  

high fat moderate protein sounds pretty good to  me doesn’t it but here’s the problem right here  

this word snack we never want to consume snacks  snacking is very bad why because it triggers  

this right here in your small intestine  called GIP gastric inhibitory polypeptide  

now what is that that is a hormone-like compound  that has a main role of stimulating insulin  

the data that you really need to understand is  every time you eat you’re stimulating insulin  

regardless of whatever you eat and this is why  intermittent fasting is so vitally important not  

just for your weight but for your overall health  this GIP hormone also stimulates fat accumulation  

and appetite this is why when you have a snack  between the meals you’re hungry an hour and a  

half later so it’s totally fine to consume  nuts just consume them with a meal or right  

after the meal not as a snack late at night or  in between meals and you’ll feel so much better  

another interesting piece of data diabetics are  not responsive to gip this compound right here  

what does that mean it means that they’re  resistant to insulin and they don’t have  

the benefit of insulin pushing down their blood  sugars and that’s why they’re diabetic because  

the blood sugar goes higher in other words this  is not a good thing right here and a diabetic  

should definitely be doing intermittent fasting  uh to help reverse diabetes now if you’re new to
