okay so we’re here at Ceres part two why

people can’t lose weight now here’s the

thing when you’re 18 years old most

people can burn fat easily and without

much problem they can even go on a diet

they can even do pretty much any night

and it works but when they hit this age

52 or even in their 40s or older

something starts to happen where they

can’t lose weight anymore so what’s the

difference between this and this and I

want to show you in relationship to

hormones what occurs at age 18 you have

the most fat burning hormones that you

will ever have in your life and after 18

it goes downward where you only have a

little bit left okay so you got one

right here and some of you already

experienced this and you know this but

if you’re 18 years old you have

something look forward to because it’s

all downhill from here now I’m just

kidding

so we want to realize that you’re

dealing with not enough fat burning

hormones

now do we just take hormones would it be

a good idea just to take some more the

problem with taking hormones

in general is that the feedback when you

take these hormones outside the body

inside your body your body then works

less in other words it will pump out

instead of pumping out that last one it

doesn’t need to pump out anything so it

gets these hormones it connects to the

gland and the gland stops to produce and

becomes dependent on the hormones that

you feed it so it has a reverse effect

so every time you take a hormone you

basically shut down your own body’s

gland that is supposed to make it thus

all the environmental hormones that

growth hormones in the food supply and

what that does to our body

not to mention birth control pills HRT

and all the estrogen as well so the

problem is taking hormones might help

you in the short run but in the long run

they can shut things down and make it

worse so that’s not the thing that I’m

going to jump in tell you to do now if

we look at

the fat making hormones you’re born with

a certain amount when they peak out at

18 but the fat making hormones do not

decrease when you’re 52 they stay the

same it’s not fair but so the ratios you

can see the ratio is one to one here

it’s like it’s commits completely unfair

because the odds of you trying to lose

weight doing the same thing you did when

you’re 18 is much less than winning the

lottery so it’s not going to happen so

we have to use this information wisely

so instead of trying to stimulate this

last hormone you have with all these

pills and stimulants why not not avoid

triggering this right here because these

these fat making hormones are dominating

in other words this is what’s really

keeping this last one from working and

yes you have to be a little bit more

strict yes you have to a little bit you

have to use more discipline but you can

still overcome this problem and these

are the two hormones that we want to

talk about insulin and cortisol insulin

is the hormone that regulates blood

sugars it’s triggered by sugar and is a

fat making hormone cortisol is a stress

hormone that’s triggered by stress so

what I would recommend if I were you and

you had the situation is I would put

less energy trying to stimulate this and

more energy try to lower the fat making

hormones now you’ll be more successful

now how do we do that that means that

someone at 18 years old can get away

with eating more sugar than you can so I

would avoid all sugar added and even in

foods that are hidden so I want to keep

that insulin down to zero again I just

last week I think it was last week I

created a video on on that point okay

insulin the other thing is the hidden

insulin like an MSG you go to a Chinese

restaurant and it’s hidden is modified

food starch and a lot of different foods

restaurants and it’s something that

makes the food taste better but it will

spike insulin by 300% so watch out for

that cortisol this

is a stress hormone so you want to start

doing things to reduce stress or sleep

long walks avoid people that are

stressful avoid situations that are

stressful anything that can lower stress

is very very therapeutic to your

metabolism so these are the two things

that you want to put attention on mostly

right now not necessarily put focus on

this one right here so what I’m trying

to do is give you strategies not

necessarily the details of every single

little thing but this would be part two

focus is put more attention on limiting

the fat making hormones then trying to

put energy try to stimulate the fat

burning hormones all right

I’ll see you in the next video and part
