if you are losing inches but the scale

is not budging this video is for you

there is nothing more frustrating than

getting on the keto plan doing in a

minute fasting staying clean eating

healthy foods and not losing anyway your

spouse might be losing weight your

friends are losing weight but you’re not

and it’s extremely irritating and you

may feel like giving up but hear me out

if you’re losing inches if your hunger

is going away if you’re not craving

anymore and you have more energy it is

working let me show you something a slow

metabolism really is insulin resistance

and insulin resistance is this scenario

right here insulin is a key that opens

up the cell to allow certain things to

go into the cell fuel and amino acids

and certain vitamins so if insulin is

not connecting to the cell because

there’s insulin resistance okay it’s not

it’s not going in to the receptor then

you are not going to absorb protein

amino acids so your body is going to be

in a state where you have atrophy this

is why diabetics pre-diabetics and

especially people that have insulin

resistance usually have atrophy

a loss of muscle mass and decrease

protein absorption because insulin is an

anabolic hormone it builds up muscle

protein and other proteins so if insulin

is not working guess what you’re not

going to have the anabolic effect as

soon as you do keto an intimate of

fasting you are going to fix insulin

resistance which means you’re going to

absorb more protein more amino acids and

if we compare amino acids or protein to

fat protein actually weighs more than

fat

per

same volume which means that you are

going to shrink you will lose inches but

not necessarily weight loss initially

simply because you’re finally starting

to absorb protein you’re getting more

muscle mass you’re fixing the atrophy

which by the way is a priority in the

body because of the principle you have

to get healthy to lose weight not lose

weight to get healthy part of getting

healthy is fixing atrophy muscle loss

and protein absorption the protein in

your body is not just muscle hair and

nails

there’s hormones are made out of protein

all the enzymes and your metabolism are

protein based in fact all the enzymes in

general digestion biochemical pathways

it’s all protein neurotransmitters in

your brain are all protein so you have a

lot of machinery going on in the body

that is made out of protein so the body

will always fix that first before

focusing really on just getting rid of

fat so just realize that it is working

and what I mean by working is getting

healthy and you always have to get

healthy before you lose weight thanks
