how does someone really know if information on  health weight loss or whatever is trusted credible  

and reliable that’s the topic of today now of  course most people go online they do a search  

and usually whatever is first they pick that as  the most credible or reliable information and  

so that’s what i did i actually went online  and i typed in the best way to lose weight  

and then what i did is i ordered their booklet and  so what we’re going to do today is we’re going to  

go through it and i’m not going to mention who it  is whatever i’m just going to kind of go through  

it and i want to evaluate it from two viewpoints  one from my viewpoint and two from a consumer’s  

viewpoint what you’re going to find out there is  so much information and data in this booklet and  

really no emphasis on the most important things  versus all the other stuff that may not matter  

what is the most important thing to know about  this do i have to read the entire article an  

entire book and then do everything or do i just  focus on one thing or two things that is a big  

issue so what makes something credible is that  the number of studies that are backing it up the  

problem with studies is most people don’t read  them they’re relying on second-hand information  

and also there’s a ton of manipulation and bias  in the area of research what about testimonials  

i like testimonials especially if they’re video  or picture because that doesn’t lie i think even  

though it’s anecdotal i think they’re credible  also reviews they can be faked but if i see a  

comparison with two different products and one has  a lot more views i’ll have a tendency to buy that  

product over this product over here and before  i get into it i want to share with you a very  

interesting observation that i made just being  in practice for 30 years whatever is touted as  

the most reliable information the most credible  the most trustworthy information especially if  

it’s in the area of mainstream i usually look in  the exact opposite direction i have found through  

experience that it ends up not being the most  reliable information and what happens if someone  

has a fixed idea and knows everything about it  it’s almost impossible to teach them anything  

because they won’t look at the information  they already have their mind made up so when  

you evaluate something you have to look at the  information yourself you have to ask yourself does  

it make sense you have to differentiate is it fact  from opinion so let’s go through this this booklet  

i read the whole thing and the first thing  we’re talking about there is no secret that  

two and three american adults way too much the  question is why as it turns out there isn’t  

one simple answer darn it i was looking for  that simple answer it starts with a combination  

of genes and environment we live in today okay  so right there talking about genetics okay and  

a little bit later they they said that scientists  have found 127 different genes related to obesity  

but that’s pretty much it so now the point is okay  what can you do if you have a genetic weakness  

there’s not much you can do so right there if  it’s genetics and i’m a consumer reading this  

i’m like oh i guess i just have bad genes and  there’s nothing i can do about it right and so  

then they talk about stubborn hormones they talk  about leptin okay which has to do with appetite  

and then they get into consuming high calorie  foods and too little exercise okay i mean  

we’ve heard that a million times right we know  that going on a low calorie diet this does not  

work so then they get into the power of genetic  influences could be up to 40 of your bmi which  

you know what that’s just opinion that’s not  a fact i totally actually disagree with that  

but if i was a consumer i’m like oh geez i might  have to go check my genetics there that could be  

why i’m not losing weight so any diet that i do  and it doesn’t work i can just blame it on my  

genes right all right next part here we’re  talking about calories and portion control  

having again it’s like eating less calories  

it says right here in in one study researchers  offered volunteers four different serving sizes of  

macaroni and cheese okay when served the largest  portion the volunteers polished off 30 percent  

more food than when given the smallest portion  they didn’t report feeling any more full than  

when they ate the smaller size now let me just say  something about this right here this information  

is just very confusing because what they’re  omitting is the fact that if you eat any carbs  

at all especially macaroni and cheese you’re going  to stimulate insulin and insulin is going to cause  

hunger so as far as portion size whether you have  a big bowl of macaroni and cheese or a little  

bowl it’s still going to make you hungry and  this gives us no good advice or information and  

then here on this page it talks about metabolic  syndrome okay that’s like when you have high blood  

pressure high cholesterol you’re pre-diabetic  and you have visceral fat right here but  

nowhere in there do they talk about what causes  that high levels of insulin so you’re omitting  

that piece of data they’re talking about you  should lose weight to improve your metabolic  

syndrome just like right here lose weight keep it  off and maintain a healthier weight my whole thing  

is let’s get healthy first so you can lose weight  but that’s not their motto all right next page we  

have some tips brown bag it at least three times  a week add two healthy foods to your shopping list  

rethink your drink all right these are all tips  that are pretty low on the list of importance  

all right next page it says avoid ultra high  calorie foods and they’re talking about fats right  

saturated fats well we know fats are necessary to  be able to satisfy you so if you’re going low fat  

lean which we’ll get to in a  little bit you’re just going to be  

actually more hungry because there’s nothing  there to satisfy you especially if you’re doing  

snacks okay this next part they’re talking about  strict calorie counting isn’t the best strategy  

okay well that’s good and then we get over here  it says beating hungry with a high quality diet  

so there’s a quote here it says eating processed  carbohydrates raises insulin levels and insulin  

drives calories into fat cells for storage  well thank you right here is the most important  

sentence of the entire book but there’s no other  mention of this okay so they’re actually telling  

us that you know process carbohydrates gonna raise  insulin and you’re gonna store fat but the next  

part of the page it’s it’s giving you all  these carbohydrates you should be eating  

it says right here good carbohydrates although  processed carbohydrates can lead to weight gain  

not all carbohydrates are bad in fact carbohydrate  heavy foods such as peas beans lentils fruits  

vegetables and whole grains can be a healthy  part of your weight loss well not if you’re  

the average person in america not if you have  insulin resistance not if you are over the age  

of 40. you have to stop the q-tip when there’s  resistance here’s the thing even when i wrote my  

first book i recommended consuming fruits this  is probably i don’t know maybe 10 years ago and  

i was eating apples every day those apples were  keeping me overweight i think i weighed 211 pounds  

i’m 180 now and all i did is remove the apples  i mean so an apple has like 19 grams of sugar  

and then they’re recommending whole grains not  a good idea all right next page here we get into  

consuming fiber foods again more  grains one of the easiest ways  

to sneak more fiber into your diet is to increase  the intake of whole grains what about vegetables  

they don’t mention that people who on a regular  basis consume whole grains tend to have lower  

bmi and less body fat than those who don’t eat  whole grains i would love to see that study and  

i’m not talking about a questionnaire study i’m  talking about an actual study i will guarantee  

there is no study other than a questionnaire over  five years aim for at least three servings every  

day for more ideas of boosting your fiber see  page 10 okay and the recommending fruits right  

here okay then we get into lean proteins okay you  should always have lean proteins skinless chicken  

breasts etc etc like the fats gonna really  make you fat no no when you have lean protein  

you actually immediately increase the food’s  relationship to insulin you increase more insulin  

there’s a scale called the insulin index and the  leaner the protein the higher it is on that scale  

so the fattier the protein the lower the  insulin response so an insulin index is those  

non-carbohydrate foods that trigger insulin  compared to the glycemic index which is  

just carbs all right so here we have another  one another sentence here i like this they go  

some research even hence this type of fat may  increase the risk of type 2 diabetes we’re  

talking about saturated fats i like that they  don’t tell you what research and all they say  

is it hints so it doesn’t actually come  out and say it so it might influence it  

so that’s just a way of saying they don’t  really know okay what’s more in late 2015  

an international panel of experts convened by  the world health organization concluded that  

processed meats raised the risk of colon cancer  instead stick with a healthier low saturated fat  

options such as chicken fish eggs tofu beans and  lentils wait a second no no what if you’re doing  

grass-fed beef that’s high in saturated fat isn’t  that okay so that’s not the type of processed  

foods that they’re studied there actually is no  study that i know about that’s actually evaluating  

grass-fed beef or organic beef it’s mainly  processed meats with nitrates and other  

chemicals all right next part talking about power  up your morning with you guessed it breakfast is  

the perfect way to start your day on the right  track here’s why breakfast can supply lots of  

foods and nutrients that are linked to less hunger  well wait a second you just went to bed last night  

and you didn’t eat the whole night you’re in  this fast and then you wake up many people aren’t  

even hungry and then you’re going to eat you’re  breaking the fast so guess what if you were just  

to keep going you would actually not be hungry  maybe until noon so i just disagree with that  

okay so we have breakfast doesn’t have to be a  major meal work some extra fiber into your day by  

grabbing a couple of slices of whole wheat toast  or a whole grain english muffin or if you have a  

few extra minutes pour yourself a bowl of whole  grain cereal boy they’re really pushing these  

grains aren’t they so it’s more carbs more carbs  what’s going to happen is about an hour and a half  

you’re going to be hungry why because of insulin  and this is what is missing in this publication  

someone without the knowledge that insulin is like  the most important thing is going to read this  

and just be totally confused and say well yeah i  already tried that 20 years ago it didn’t work and  

maybe it’s my genes right all right next part says  the art of snacking okay it says that you may have  

heard that eating lots of small meals or snacks  is the best way to curb your appetite the truth  

is this advice has been greatly exaggerated now  on the second part of the page it’s telling you  

when choosing snacks simply follow the same  guidelines prioritize whole foods with minimal  

processing and look for healthier sources of fat  carbs and protein so they’re they’re saying that  

you know maybe snacking is not a good  idea but then they’re telling you  

to snack here’s a good one it says hide snack  foods if you keep your salty or sugary snacks  

on the kitchen counter find them a new home tucked  away in the pantry if they’re not in your line of  

vision every time you enter the kitchen you’ll  be less tempted to eat them that is not true  

i know people that will search out these  carbohydrates every night looking for these snacks  

it’s not a big deal to go into the pantry and grab  them why even buy these snacks in the first place  

don’t buy them keep them out of the house or  on on page 29 you can just if this doesn’t  

work you can try cognitive behavior therapy  okay so they give you that option they also  

give you an option of gastric bypass so  here’s the problem you have this document  

that gives you a lot of information with  some true information some false information  

but they don’t tell you what is the most important  information and that is this right here base the  

whole diet on keeping your insulin low and you  will be successful all right talk to you later
