i had a lot of requests for this video

today we’re going to show you how to

very a to b

get rid of puffy eyes as well as the

dark circles around the eyes and it just

so happens that the underlying cause or

at least the most common cause of both

of these conditions

is the same thing which is very very

good but typically when you research on

this you’re going to find

well it’s just fatigue it’s lack of

sleep you’re stressed it’s a hypothyroid

condition

it’s called hashimoto’s where you’re

having this

lymphatic tissue that’s backing up into

the system

or it might be an early sign of

epstein-barr virus or maybe it’s alcohol

or maybe it’s allergy right well i’m

just going to tell you these are not

very common causes of

dark circles underneath the eyes or

puffy eyes now it is true if you have

damaged kidneys you are going to

definitely have

puffiness around the eyes okay it’s not

as common as the thing i’m going to talk

about but it can happen and the reason

why it happens is you’re getting this uh

this fluid backing up into the tissues

it’s called interstitial

fluid retention

because there’s a loss of protein in the

urine and a loss of protein in your

blood so anytime you don’t have enough

albumin which is a protein in your blood

you start retaining fluid and you can

get edema and puffiness around the eyes

transverse bands on your nails so if you

see a couple uh i don’t know horizontal

bands around your fingers

you might want to get your kidneys

checked and there could be parasites

okay that’s another cause as well but

let’s talk about the most common cause

of both puffiness and dark circles

underneath your eyes

and the answer is

hyperinsulinemia

what is that that is too much insulin

in your blood you have insulin

resistance which is causing your

pancreas to produce too much insulin to

compensate so that’s really what’s

happening you see this a lot in early

diabetics type 2 and you see it nearly

always in pre-diabetics and of course

the majority of the rest of the

population has insulin resistance so you

probably see this very common in people

you can look at their eyes and if they

have this puffiness around the eyes and

this darkened pigment

suspect

they’ve been eating a lot of carbs

because it’s the carbs that is the big

trigger to this high level of insulin

now another condition that you see with

insulin resistance as well as

hyperinsulinemia

is acanthosis cancer what does

that mean that’s a condition where you

have

darkened

folds on your body like underneath your

armpits like a darkened band

on your neck you might see it under the

armpits or next to the breast tissue but

that condition which is a

hyper pigmentation problem is also

caused by high levels of insulin so the

more insulin you have the more melanin

that’s pumped out and that can show up

in a darker

layer of skin now of course if you’re

consuming all these carbs right and you

have high levels of insulin and insulin

resistance you’re going to be

one big fluid retaining sponge okay

you’re going to be holding fluid all

over the place and

one common area that you see it is in

the ankles and then the other one is in

the eyes right underneath the eyes or on

the top of the eyelid too so i mean i

could look at someone and go wow that

guy’s eating carbs you could just see

their eyes are all puffy and usually

they don’t have a clue that that is the

reason why they think it’s maybe genetic

or it’s a lack of sleep but it’s

actually the carbs and also carbs cause

the retention of sodium so they’re

holding

sodium

yet they’re very very deficient in

potassium so

what can be done about this there’s four

things that you can do right now to

reverse this okay number one stop eating

carbs you can’t get rid of this without

stopping carbs okay that’s number one

number two

stop

snacking okay

snacking is a killer every time you eat

guess what you trigger insulin so you

have to stop snacking

and number three you have to start with

something called intermittent fasting so

intermittent fasting is a pattern of

eating and not eating you want to

combine that with your low carb diet we

call it a ketogenic plan the combination

of low carb and intermittent fasting

without snacking of course is

powerful to handle the bags as well as

the dark circles now there’s one more

thing you can do to speed things up and

that is to start taking

potassium or consume foods high in

potassium not bananas okay or potatoes

you want to do things like beet greens

in your salad uh more salad itself like

seven to ten cups you want to do

avocados and avocados like 800

milligrams of potassium you can do

broccoli

mushrooms they’re all very high in

potassium so that’s the four things

number one stop your carbs stop your

snacking start doing intermittent

fasting

and start to beef up no pun intended

your potassium and watch those bags go

away and also watch the darkened circles

underneath the eyes go away that’s

usually going to take a little bit

longer could take between two three

maybe in four weeks before you start

noticing a difference now if you haven’t

seen my new tutorial on how to do keto i

put it right here check it out
