let’s talk about what’s behind a swollen face and  puffy eyes now you may have this problem or you  

may know people who have this problem and it’s  so easy to fix if you understand this one thing  

there’s two sources of fuel in the body there’s  glucose and then there’s fat slash ketones well  

actually that would be three but let’s just keep  the fat and ketones together since ketones are  

made from fat so those are the two fuel sources  and you store glucose as glycogen so glycogen  

is the main storage of glucose and you store fat  as adipose tissue storing glucose as glycogen is  

extremely limited okay you only store a very small  amount of it but with fat it has no limit it’s  

unlimited some people can gain weight over five  six seven hundred pounds over a thousand pounds  

and it just keeps going there’s no limit the  amount of fat that you can store but with glycogen  

it’s very very limited to around i would say 1700  calories now the question is why is it so limited  

well it’s because of this one thing it’s  extremely hydrated in order for your body to store  

glucose as glycogen it requires a tremendous  amount of water it will store a little more than  

three times its weight in fluid so we’re  dealing with something that’s extremely  

waterlogged and there’s just not enough space to  store that much hydrated waterlogged material so  

the way the body will handle that is that it’ll  take the excess glucose that comes from the diet  

and very efficiently converts it over to fat so  if you’re consuming excess glucose in the diet  

you’re going to have more fat and you’re going to  have a lot more fluid and it shows up in the face  

as a swollen face and especially around the  eyes as puffy eyes in fact i had this problem  

in some of the earlier videos i did when i wasn’t  doing intermittent fasting or the ketogenic diet  

but the good news is if you have the  right information it’s very easy to  

fix all you have to do is eliminate the  excess amount of glucose in the diet now  

this is where the confusion comes in what is  considered excess and what is considered normal  

if you take a look at the amount of glucose that  normally should be in your blood when you test  

your blood and measure your blood glucose and it  says 80 milligrams per deciliter that’s normal  

that means you only have one tiny little teaspoon  in the entire amount of blood in your body  

so it’s not very much our bodies are only designed  to have a very tiny amount of sugar and that sugar  

can be easily created from non-carbohydrate  sources you do not need to consume sugar  

to keep your blood sugars at 80. but the average  person in America consumes 31 teaspoons of sugar  

every single day so you can see the problem  there’s a lot of people walking around with
