I wanted to create this video and answer

a question that keeps coming up over and

over and over we’ll losing weight reduce

my insulin resistance okay now this

could be also pre-diabetes or diabetes

insulin resistance is kind of the thing

that comes before pre-diabetes but if

you have pre-diabetes or you have

diabetes you also have insulin

resistance so insulin resistance is a

situation where your your cells are not

absorbing insulin anymore they’re

rejecting it and your body is now making

way more insulin than it should

okay and insulin what it does is it

blocks the ability to burn fat so you

can’t lose weight and also it caused you

to store fat and it will keep you at

that certain set point like that Plateau

so you may lose weight but then you

plateau at a certain amount like let’s

say 180 and you just can’t seem to get

past that point that’s because you have

insulin resistance so now the question

is if you lose weight can you improve

this and does it put your body in a

state where you can actually lose weight

more easily here’s the answer it really

depends how you go about losing weight

okay now let me explain that if you try

to lose weight incorrectly let’s say you

do it with move more less calories but

you don’t change your carbohydrate level

so you’re like the Biggest Loser for

example where they’re watching their

calories and they’re exercising like

crazy all day but they haven’t reduced

the this thing internal okay they

haven’t tried to target this as a cause

of the obesity they haven’t fixed it so

they’re losing weight to a certain point

just with the fact that they’re

exercising so much and trying to burn

the calories but they still haven’t

fixed this what’s gonna happen they’re

gonna gain the weight right back and

that’s really what happens if you don’t

do it correctly and that also explains

the fact that people on so many

different diets if they on the wrong

diet they lose gain lose gain into the

point where they will not lose any more

because they developed so much insulin

resistance so I’m sort of talking about

a side

topic with this but I think it’s

important because if you know how to

lose weight correctly and that would be

healthy keto and in a minute fasting

you’re gonna correct insulin resistance

and it’s going to make it very easy to

lose weight and bust through this duck

metabolism Plateau

okay so now over here if someone’s obese

and they lose weight will they improve

insulin resistance if they do healthy

Kido in a minute fasting now if you have

too much fat in your body and you are

severely overweight your fat cells will

release something called cytokines and

cytokines give off these little

signaling molecules okay these things

right here you don’t really need to know

anything more than they create

inflammation okay so now we have more

inflammation in the body and we’re

giving off too many free radicals and

that’s creating destruction to the body

and then this right here can worsen

insulin resistance so being overweight

can cause instant resistance but here’s

the thing insulin resistance can also

cause inflammation because of the high

insulin having in some resistance will

increase more insulin which will then

cause more fat cells so it’s a two-way

road once you actually gain all this

weight now it’s going to be very very

difficult to lose it simply because the

fact that you have so much fat is

creating this sequence and this

generating so this thing right here so

what does all this mean how can we use

this information to achieve our

weight-loss goals what I would recommend

is not trying to lose weight to reduce

your insulin resistance

I would instead fix insulin resistance

to lose weight because it’s much easier

as soon as you start reducing your

insulin what’s going to happen you’re

going to start to burn for that you’re

gonna stop storing fat and then you’re

going to fix your metabolism and you’re

also going to reduce your hunger and

cravings to make it easy to do this if

you try to lose weight without fixing

this

just the hunger alone is going to keep

you from being successful if you’re new

to my channel and you want to know how

to do this I put a link down below it

really boils down to healthy keto and in

a minute fasting thanks for watching
