you know I want to do this video on

sticking to

your healthy weight loss plan because

recently I’m doing a search on how to

stick to your program

and the amount of terrible advice is to

spread all through social media the

internet especially the first five pages

of Google and it literally makes me

nauseous to see what information is

being put out there by people that have

zero experience in this area if you try

their advice you’re just going to fail

miserably and the big problem with that

is every time you do

a diet that doesn’t work over a period

of time

your metabolism becomes slower and

slower and slower to the point where

you’re on 500 calories

a day and you’re not losing any weight

assume this in practice with the certain

people who have dieted as a child and it

just literally destroys their ability to

lose weight down the road so before I

get into how to solve this problem once

and for all I just want to read a few

things that you should

never follows as far as just bad advice

right it says don’t deprive yourself of

those things that you love to eat just

eat in moderation keep a detailed log of

everything you eat well I mean who has

time to do that that’s just I mean it’s

crazy drink more water okay you fill up

with water well water is not very

satisfying and don’t ever let yourself

get

hungry

okay so that would be just frequent

meals okay so all of that is very stupid

advice if you’re trying to stick to a

program you know this is just not about

having willpower or having discipline

because even if you have willpower or

you have discipline and you’re driving

down the street and you’re hungry and

you’re craving and you see Chick-fil-A

or Kentucky Fried Chicken

or Taco Bell it’s gonna call your name

right it’s gonna haunt you or you’re

going through a grocery store

and you’re walking past

potato chips or the bakery section

it’s going to be torture or even at home

let’s say you’re sitting watching TVs

late at night and you have something in

the pantry that’s calling your name Eric

gosh I don’t care how much willpower you

have or discipline you’re not going to

be able to resist that for very long so

let’s just talk about hunger and

cravings for a moment there’s two main

hormones involved you have um ghrelin

okay which is the hunger hormone makes

you hungry so we would want to decrease

ghrelin and then we want to increase

this other hormone that makes you

satisfied it’s called leptin

so if you look these two up you can just

isolate the factors to balance these out

to help you and I’ll just quickly go

down the list so we want to get more

sleep because we know if you’re tired

and you’re not sleeping you’re going to

crave more you’re going to be hungrier

decreasing sugar okay we know about that

having adequate amount of protein right

I’ve talked about that recently in

several videos if you’re deficient in

protein I mean think about how much of

your body is protein not only do you

have muscles and you have ligaments and

tendons and even part of your bone all

the chemicals the enzymes are all

protein so from a survival standpoint

your body is going to keep eating until

you get enough protein so we also have

fiber your microbes eat fiber we have

also the reduction of stress The more

stress you have the hungry you are

decreasing alcohol smoking Etc and then

we also have caffeine a little bit of

caffeine can satisfy you but a large

amount can make you hungry and then

they’ll mention a medication especially

antidepressants can really make you

hungry and then they talk about gastric

bypass another factor is the amount of

fat that you eat if you eat more fat

you’ll be more satisfied and less hungry

and then you also have the speed at

which you eat if you eat really fast it

can also alter these hormones so the

slower you eat and you chew your food it

can put these hormones back into balance

and of course I already talked about

decreasing sugar but also decreasing

carbs you have the menstrual cycle as

well so when you have the menstrual

cycle you have this shift in hormones

that will make you crave if that’s your

situation just as a side note a little

L-tryptophan will go a long way that can

totally handle cravings when you have

your menstrual cycle but anytime you

take L-tryptophan always take it in an

empty stomach because it can compete

with other proteins and it won’t work if

you have it with meals another factor is

eating nutrient dense foods right that’s

going to be more satisfying so that

would include like omega-3 fatty acids

the trace minerals like zinc especially

from

um like seafood for example or organ

meats or just higher quality

um like grass-fed beef things like that

this next thing

is really the big factor of this whole

video it says eat

frequent small meals to prevent hunger

if you’ve been watching my videos in the

past you’ll know that if you take on

this advice it’s going to be a big

problem because every time you eat you

increase insulin okay and you start

developing insulin resistance and in the

presence of insulin you’re not going to

be able to burn fat and if you’re not

burning fat you’re not going to lose

weight and if we just look at the

importance between these two things

lowering your carbohydrates

and also eating less frequent eating

less frequent is way way way more

important in other words we’re talking

about intermittent fasting if you have

any problem losing weight and you don’t

Implement intermittent fasting I don’t

think you’re going to be successful and

if we just take a look simply at hunger

and cravings What are we really talking

about we’re trying to solve the problem

of fuel in your cells because if there’s

not enough fuel in your cells you’re

going to Crave and you’re going to be

hungry that’s what it’s all about so is

there possibly a way

to feed the cells fuel between the meals

without eating and the answer is

absolutely we can feed the cells your

own body fat you’re never going to be

able to do that in the presence of

frequent meals because to get your body

to burn fat

it’s all dependent on lowering your

insulin by lowering your carbohydrates

and eating less frequent you see to get

your body to burn fat you have to adapt

to Fat it’s called being fat adapted

okay and that does take about two to

three days to get into that state but

once you’re in that state your hunger

goes away and your Cravings will go away

if you still have cravings or hunger all

that means is you’re not adapted yet but

when you know how to get your body

adapted and you can start running on fat

Fuel and other things called ketones

okay ketones are basically a byproduct

of fat being burned and you’re actually

burning both fat and ketones when you’re

adapted and to do that you have to lower

insulin through lowering your carbs and

sugar and also eating less frequent so

that way regardless of what environment

you are in okay if you’re in a party if

you’re at a social event if you’re

driving down the street and you see a

fast food restaurant or you’re in a

grocery store and you see those

chocolate brownies

you can control yourself you can walk

past those brownies and not have this

incredible impulse to have to have it

why because your cells are finally

getting fuel even though you’re not

eating anything and whether you have

resistance to leptins called leptin

resistance okay or insulin resistance

which then will make you hungry all the

time that will be quickly fixed because

getting on a ketogenic diet fixes both

of those problems versus being in

another condition where you’re having

these frequent meals to prevent hunger

your carbs are too high you’re going off

your program to frequent you’re not

doing intermittent fasting and you’re

literally trying to lose weight on top

of cravings and hunger which is

literally it’s torture so I really want

this to sink in if you want to be

successful when you see all these little

tricks to try to stick to a diet

ignore those because now you really know

how to do it the correct way right now

we have almost 8 000 success stories on

my website you can read them these are

from actual people I don’t know any

website that has that many success

stories so how do you do it a healthy

version of the ketogenic diet

intermittent fasting you want to add

other things in there too like a little

bit of apple cider vinegar and water

which will help and make it easier

berberine also helps to speed things up

it’s a natural herb and I have a really

good video to get started on this to

make it very simple and I put it up

right here check it out
