all right so you want to lose weight

hopefully you started the ketogenic diet

and you want to take your results to the

next level well you’re already drinking

water might as well add a few things to

take it to the next level the first

thing to realize is that weight is a

symptom it’s not the problem it’s not

the cause the underlying cause is too

much insulin a couple things about

insulin that you may already know this

is just a refresher insulin is the main

fat storing hormone in the presence of

eating a little bit of insulin you can’t

burn fat so insulin prevents the burning

of fat and when you have too much

insulin over time you develop something

called insulin resistance now at first

you might think this is a good thing

because insulin resistance sounds like

you’re resisting insulin so you’ll

actually lose weight but in reality what

happens with insulin resistance is the

body overcompensates and has to make a

lot more insulin to penetrate this

resistance so people that have insulin

resistance have a lot more insulin okay

and that’s the problem and of course you

get insulin resistance by having too

much insulin because your body is trying

to protect you against too much of it so

it develops this barrier but this whole

thing gets worse over time unless the

triggers to insulin are addressed you

may already know this but there’s three

things that trigger insulin carbs

trigger insulin especially the more

refined the carb is like sugar

also eating triggers insulin this is why

frequent eating and snacks are really

bad but the third thing which I just

talked about is having insulin

resistance okay that is the thing that

will just increase more insulin and

there’s just one more really important

thing that I want to explain to you

when you have insulin resistance which

the majority of the population has and

they get on a low carb diet they cut out

carbs eating no sugar and then they

check their blood sugars and the sugar

goes higher or for example they’re a

diabetic and the sugar just keeps going

higher but they’re not eating any sugar

that sugar is coming from somewhere it’s

coming from the liver the liver is

converting other things like fat like

protein like ketones into sugar this is

called gluconeogenesis

and so the worst insulin resistance that

you had going into this the more you

might find your blood sugars are still a

bit high for a while all you have to do

is continue this program push through it

do what I’m going to tell you next and

over time that blood sugar will come

down but that extra sugar in your blood

is not coming from your diet it’s coming

from your liver making this other

conversion should probably just mention

one thing too if someone is overweight

or they’re a diabetic or they have

insulin resistance there’s going to be

this it’s called a basal insulin level

like an underlying level of insulin that

your body is operating off of just to

keep things in check that has nothing to

do with what you’re eating or whatever

but there’s just going to be higher

amounts of insulin flowing through your

blood if you are overweight or you’re

diabetic or you have insulin resistance

so I just want to bring that up because

some people expect the same weight loss

as their spouse but maybe their spouse

doesn’t have insulin resistance is bad

so because your basal or basic insulin

levels are just higher than they should

be because of years of insulin

resistance it’s going to be a little bit

tougher to lose weight initially

compared to someone else who just

doesn’t have that level of insulin

flowing through their bloodstream the

whole goal of this video is to hyper

focus on fixing this insulin resistance

problem so you can lose the most weight

possible in the shortest amount of time

so we want to compound things we want to

get you on a healthy version of the

ketogenic diet we want you to do

intermittent fasting but with your

fluids you can add just a few things

just to take it to the next level so

we’re talking about three things lemon

apple cider vinegar

and cinnamon now if you were to add just

two maybe three of these drinks per day

you would see significant improvements

in your program and I’m talking about

weight loss because you’re addressing

this insulin issue and even if you’re

not perfect on the diet this will

actually improve things greatly all

right so let’s first talk about apple

cider vinegar apple cider vinegar has

something called acetic acid acetic acid

is a potent blood sugar lowering

compound okay it will help make insulin

more sensitive and less resistant it

will help lower your blood sugars even

if you eat some carbs believe it or not

and there’s some interesting studies

which I’ll put down below okay and then

we get this lemon right you can do

either lemon juice or a whole lemon you

can either blend the whole lemon in the

blender it takes a little bit more when

you’re cleaning things out but eating

the whole lemon gives you some

additional benefits if you have time but

if you don’t have time just get some

lemon lemon juice and use that so in

lemon juice you have various things you

have citric acid you have phytonutrients

you’ll have vitamin C if you juice to

the fresh lemon or blend the whole lemon

lemon juice that’s contained in a glass

jar is usually pasteurized it’s not raw

and because vitamin C is sensitive to

oxygen and heat it’s pretty much going

to destroy that vitamin C but there are

other benefits of vitamin C especially

as you’re trying to lose weight but the

phytonutrients in lemon juice make

insulin more sensitive and they make

insulin less resistant now the third

component and this is an extra thing

okay

cinnamon and you just put a pinch of the

cinnamon into this mixture cinnamon is

one of those things that has a potent

effect on making insulin more sensitive

and helping your blood sugars be more

regulated and one study they took a 543

diabetics and they tested this cinnamon

and the average person dropped their

blood sugars by 24 points which is very

significant so if you can just add a few

things to the liquid that you’re already

drinking it’s a no-brainer and we’re

using a Compound Effect we’re adding

several things actually we’re adding

intermittent fasting keto lemon juice

we’re adding cinnamon and apple cider

vinegar all of these things are going to

contribute and speed things up so you

can really get to your goal a lot faster

now the other cool thing about these

three things is that they all tend to

help reduce fat on your liver like I

said they reduce insulin they have blood

sugars they also help regulate your

cholesterol they help your liver make

more bile which has some benefits in

itself lemon water also has citrates to

decrease your risk of getting kidney

stones and all three are very

anti-inflammatory and too much

inflammation in the body can actually

create a situation where you have

insulin resistance so inflammation can

also trigger insulin resistance all

right so here are the instructions very

very simple

you can do this two or three times a day

you want to use 16 ounces of water

you’re going to add either an ounce of

lemon juice or a whole lemon you can

either blend the whole lemon or just

squeeze the lemon juice from one lemon

into the water then add one to two

tablespoons of apple cider vinegar I

don’t recommend Bragg’s Apple Cider

Vinegar I recommend fairchilds because

that is the source behind Braggs and

they don’t dilute it and I’m not

affiliated I don’t get any Kickbacks but

that’s a really Superior apple cider

vinegar it comes with the mother it’s

organic and it’s concentrated if you

look at the ingredients in Bragg’s Apple

Cider Vinegar they add water so

basically they dilute it then take your

cinnamon and just put a pinch into this

container you can either shake it up or

blend it and so some people that drink

this might not like the taste okay it

might be too bitter so you might want to

add a few drops liquid Stevia if you

don’t know what that is it’s an extract

from a plant that’s sweet without the

sugar and you just need a few drops and

it’ll just taste just like lemonade or

some people use my electrolyte powder

one scoop and that way you get some

electrolytes with the sweetener which is

Stevia so after you mix this up I would

recommend drinking this before your

meals now if you’re just doing one meal

a day first and second one are going to

be an empty stomach and the third one

will be right before a meal now the next

most important thing to understand is

how to do a ketogenic diet okay step by

step and I put that video up right here
