here’s a question why do carbs make us hungry  

all right so there’s two reasons one is that when  you consume carbs you spike the hormone insulin  

because the purpose of insulin is to  remove the carbs from your bloodstream  

and the body will then convert that into  stored sugar in your liver and your muscles  

and if there’s excess it’ll convert it  to fat in different places in your body  

but insulin’s job is to lower glucose now  when the glucose becomes lower in the blood  

because you just spiked insulin this is where  you’re going to crave more carbs and also just  

you’re just your appetite’s going to go up you’re  going to be hungry so that’s number one low blood  

sugars will cause you to be hungry and number two  insulin itself triggers hunger so the more insulin  

you have the more hungry you’re going to be and  there’s a condition called insulin resistance  

and that’s created from eating chronic amount of  carbs over many years to the point where your body  

is compensating by producing a lot more insulin to  compensate for the resistance because it can’t get  

into the cells and so you’re going to be hungry  all the time now the higher the glycemic index the  

faster the insulin spike and the more that it  drops down into the lower part right here and  

so let’s say for example you consume a bowl  of rice okay and there’s some type of sweet  

sauce on that and you’re at a restaurant like a  chinese restaurant and you consume that it’s like  

maybe let’s say it’s a thai restaurant right  because they have a lot of spicy great foods  

and it’s a lot of hidden sugar and they also  have msg in there which also spikes insulin  

what’s going to happen you’re going to feel real  good for a while you’re going to feel satisfied  

and then you’re going to leave the restaurant  and all of a sudden you’re going to be like man  

i’m hungry where did that come from well  what happened it spiked your insulin  

and now it’s removing all that sugar now you’re  going to end up with low blood sugars so you’re  

probably going to go home and look for something  sweet because you’re hungry now if you were to  

have a carbohydrate like let’s say a salad that is  a carb it has fiber but fiber has no response on  

your insulin plus it’s nutrient dense you’re not  going to get this massive spike probably like this  

and it’s not going to come down too far so you’re  not going to get hungry after you consume a salad  

now to stimulate the appetite if you really wanted  to stimulate your appetite consume a lot of empty  

carbohydrates refined carbohydrates breads pasta  cereal crackers candy things like that sodas and  

that’s a great way to stimulate appetite because  there’s no nutrients in there to satisfy the brain  

there’s all sorts of receptors in the brain  that are signaling and getting feedback from  

the food that you eat and so one message that the  brain is going to get to turn off hunger is okay  

we reached our amount of nutrients if there’s no  nutrients in there it’s not going to turn off and  

you’re going to keep eating and eating and eating  this is why it’s so easy to sit down and consume  

you know loaf of bread or this is why it’s so  easy to sit down and consume a whole bunch of  

bread or refined carbs in one sitting like  doritos for example in college i used to consume  

not just a small bag of doritos but the mega or  a bulk bag of doritos literally it was this big  

i would sit down in one sitting and consume that  whole thing why because i never got satisfied it  

was just good i just kept having it and then i was  so thirsty afterwards because i was so filled with  

sodium my fingers would swell up because all that  sodium and the fluid just kind of was retained

all right another thing that will stimulate  appetite is low fat or lean protein why  

because low-fat protein will stimulate insulin and  the other thing is that fat satisfies you and so  

if there’s not enough fat to satisfy you you’re  just doing protein and that’s going to stimulate  

an appetite this is why snacking on lean protein  or beef jerky in between meals is not a good idea  

and then frequent eating if you’ve been watching  my videos you’ve heard me say this a million times  

but more frequent you eat the greater the appetite  why because every time you eat you trigger insulin  

regardless of what you eat now this is how  you satisfy your hunger more fatty foods  

okay number two lower carbs i’ve already  covered that three nutrient dense foods  

that also includes nutrient-dense carbs as  in vegetables cruciferous things like that  

seafood is very nutrient-dense shellfish  is extremely nutrient-dense organ meats  

are extremely nutrient dense very satisfying  okay the more fiber something has for example  

if you’re doing uh vegetables and like celery it’s  very rich with fiber that is going to buffer the  

insulin response greatly so you’re not going to  ever gain weight or have an insulin problem when  

you’re consuming the carbohydrate celery all right  bile if you don’t consume enough fat which by the  

way is the trigger of bile bile production from  your liver and stored in the gallbladder you’re  

gonna end up with lower amounts of bile and if you  don’t have enough bile you can’t extract some of  

the fat soluble nutrients that are very satisfying  to your body and also trigger your brain that you  

you can turn off eating and so having enough bile  having a healthy gallbladder how having a healthy  

liver can give you enough bile to give you more  extraction of the certain nutrients that you need  

to satisfy the body if you’re deficient in bile  like it’s like you just you’re just going to feel  

uh hungrier okay fasting now if you’re new  to my channel i’m just going to explain this  

how can not eating get rid of hunger well  you’re actually switching your metabolism from  

running on glucose especially the dietary sugars  and carbs to running off your own body’s fat and  

to do that there’s a transition it takes a little  bit might take three days but you’re not fasting  

for three days you’re just going to not eat so  frequently and then what’s going to happen your  

body is going to convert over to running on fat  and your hunger is going to completely disappear  

for those people that are new to my channel i  put a link down below of exactly what diet you  

should be on the other cool thing about doing  all of these things right here is that they fix  

insulin resistance and the more you’re fixing  some resistance the lower the insulin will go  

the faster the metabolism will be and the more  satisfied you’re going to be because insulin  

resistance also blocks the nutrients from  going into the cell so if you have insulin  

resistance especially if it’s chronic like a  lot of people have you’re going to rarely be  

satisfied after you eat so that’s why you have  to take additional nutrients to satisfy you  

all right thanks for watching hey before you  go real quick i have a course entitled how to  

bulletproof your immune system it’s a free course  i want you to take it and here’s why here’s you  

here is your environment everyone is focused on  this over here avoiding your environment but what  

about here what about strengthening your immune  system that’s what’s missing this course will show  

you how to bulletproof yourself and so you can  tolerate and resist your environment much better  

by strengthening your own immune system i put  a link down in the description right down below
