so recently I did a video on the

relationship between if consuming fat

will slow your metabolism now I want to

answer another question which I pretty

much answer in a lot of my live events

but I don’t think I’ve done a video just

on this one topic

well skipping a meal slow your

metabolism so let’s just talk about that

we have to differentiate skipping a meal

which is infrequent meals or

intermittent fasting from just being in

a low calorie diet these are two

different things

now when you decrease the frequency of

meals you probably are going to reduce

the calories automatically when you

reduce your calories and you reduce your

frequency of meals you are going to not

feel too good I’ll give you an example

I’ve done several cleanses in the past a

long time ago one was the I think was

the lemon water cayenne pepper and maple

syrup cleanse you probably have done

that for seven days I think I did it for

10 days it almost killed me

that maple syrup that it was consuming

that was just enough glucose to keep me

out of ketosis to keep my blood Sugar’s

up and down while I was basically

starving to death I was so hungry

it was very torturous other cleanses

I’ve done which involved colon cleansing

and maybe just doing fruit a little bit

of fruit each day I felt terrible okay

so if someone brought up the concept of

fasting I would instantly reject it

because it was very painful and very

stressful

what I didn’t know which I know now

which if you do keto low-carb and

infrequent meals and you do it gradually

your hunger goes away you actually adapt

to burning your own fat as compared to

keeping your frequency of meals higher

but keeping a low amount of calories

it’s gonna be very difficult to switch

over to get your body to burn fat as its

primary fuel source because you keep

dumping in either glucose or just the

fact that you’re eating frequently

raises insulin a little bit to actually

prevent this process from happening so

you have a lot of

blood sugar symptoms over here and we

don’t have a lot of blood sugar issues

right here and when you actually

decrease the meals you’re decreasing

insulin you’re automatically increasing

your metabolic rate and you’re feeling

really good because your brain loves

ketones so if you do a search on how to

increase your metabolism you’ll find all

sorts of things like and drink more

water eat more protein eat spicy foods

because the thermogenic effect or green

tea these are trivial very trivial the

things that affect metabolism age okay

as you get older your metabolism will

slow down so you really can’t do much

about this one right dieting you can do

something with that you can change your

diet you can decrease the frequency of

meals so this one you can definitely do

something about also the diet that you

were on as an infant the foods that your

mother ate when she was pregnant with

you if they were very high carb and your

mother developed insulin resistance the

likelihood of you becoming a

pre-diabetic goes way up and also your

metabolism later in her life is going to

be slow based on what your mother ate

and what you ate is an infant

unfortunately the baby formulas are all

filled with glucose and very very poor

quality ingredients so this is a factor

you can’t go back in time to fix that

but what you can do is definitely share

this information with anyone that you

know is pregnant so it’s very very vital

to put attention on getting that diet

corrected when someone is pregnant which

could make or break the future health of

that child insulin I know I’m beating a

dead horse I’ve talked about this a

million times you can do something about

this okay you can keep this lowered

decrease frequent meals get on keto also

you can lower your stress that can also

help and you should do an experiment you

should actually instead of cutting your

calories just decrease the frequency of

your meals and you will see that you

will lose way more weight than if you

just cut your calories down and spread

those calories out

throughout the day go ahead and try it

and see for yourself
