hey guys so recently I had a lot of

people wanting me to do a video on this

topic so I’m gonna go ahead and do it

so recently and Julian Michael’s gave

her opinion on a ketogenic diet and I

just want to go through point by point

and talk about it so let’s get started

this business for a long time what’s

changed the most over the years the

reality of fitness and nutrition is

they’re all just fads reskin right I

mean if you think about it like right

now it’s keto and like I don’t know if

anybody’s as old as me in this room but

that ty it used to be called Atkins and

my mother did it in 1980 so you know so

so it is true the Atkins diet does put

you in ketosis

but the Atkins diet is pretty high in

protein so keto is moderate protein okay

so I just want to clarify that people

will take fads and trends and reskin

them with a different name

what does keto is Locarno is exactly it

puts you in ketosis but you know but

that’s not good for you no it’s not in

the end of the day just like two plus

two will always equal four when it comes

to health it’s an energy equation eat

less use common sense with your food

choices and move more and that’s just

alright guys so that is the solution we

if we just eat less and move more we

would all lose weight first of all if

you’re in practice for any period of

time and you’re working with people one

on one especially over the age of 40

especially if they’re female especially

if they’re pre menopausal you’re gonna

run up against a situation with a very

slow metabolism and eating less and

moving more is not going to work so one

thing she really doesn’t realize is that

exercise has a very small influence over

your ability to lose weight maybe if

you’re lucky it’s 15% that means that

85% of your results in weight loss has

to do with eating science

all right let’s go to another one the

keto diet I don’t understand like why

would anybody think this is a good idea

your cells your macromolecules are

literally made up of protein fat

carbohydrates nucleic acids okay so

let’s talk about that point this is one

of the million reasons why you should

not do a ketogenic diet because your

cells are made of fat protein

carbohydrates and nucleic acids most of

your brain is fat most of your nervous

system is fat most of your endocrine

system is fat then the rest is protein

you actually don’t have a large amount

of carbohydrate that makes up the

structural part of your body yes it can

be used as fuel but it doesn’t make up

body cells so if your brain and nervous

system and muscles are mostly protein

and fat why wouldn’t you want to consume

a higher fat moderate protein low

carbohydrate diet the diet that she

recommends is very high in carbohydrate

so what physical structural component of

your cells are high in carbohydrate

there is none when you do not eat one of

the three macronutrients those three

things I just mentioned you’re starving

your cells all right so let me just kind

of explain this and this is mainly for

new people it’s not for people who’ve

been watching my videos it’s really

obvious that she just does not

understand this one really important

topic in relationship to the Q generic

diet and that is the word insulin she

does not understand what that is and

what it does how it functions in the

body so for those of you that are new

insulin is a hormone made by the

pancreas and one of its functions is to

lower blood sugars okay and it gets

triggered by carbohydrates when we

consume too much carb we raise insulin

too much and then do we develop a

condition called insulin resistance

your body’s blocking it when you get

instant resistance what happens is the

body starts making more of it to try to

connect with that cell because it’s it’s

being resistive those macronutrients

serve a very important purpose for your

overall health and well-being each and

every one of them period end of story

you might process sugar you don’t eat

processed grains and to make a very long

story short avoid the keto diet so when

you do a balanced diet and include all

this carbohydrate you’re gonna keep

insulin very very high in the presence

of just a little bit of insulin all the

fat burning hormones that get blocked

and nullified so in other words insulin

blocks and prevents weight loss the more

insulin in the bloodstream the harder it

is to lose weight if someone has a slow

metabolism and they have a little too

much insulin they’re gonna have even a

tougher time losing weight despite how

many hours of exercise that they do and

when you develop insulin resistance

you can’t absorb those nutrients so the

concept of everything in moderation or a

balanced diet is a very bad idea so I

looked at Julian’s website just to find

out what food she’s recommending of

course you can do toast you can do fruit

like apples and bananas you can do

yogurt waffles pizza pop chips that’s

processed potato okay these are all just

gonna raise insulin it’s gonna make it

harder and harder to lose weight and one

more little point about this is that

she’s part owners with a company called

SodaStream and some of the products have

sugar in it so of course she has to

justify that I mean the ketogenic diet

right now is exploding it is the fastest

trending diet right now and because she

spent years promoting the same old

low-calorie low-fat whole-grain eat

everything in moderation snacking

between meals she obviously has to

defend that viewpoint because there are

so many people searching for the

ketogenic diet and her whole thing is

the exact opposite of the ketogenic diet

so it’s really obvious that she’s not

trying to understand it she doesn’t have

a clue she doesn’t understand insulin

and she just has to invalidate it

because

basically opposing her diet all right so

let’s just continue this is an article

NBC internal investigation probe whether

Biggest Loser contestants were getting

drugs so right now there’s a lawsuit

going on to determine if there was drugs

involved to help people lose weight

Jillian Michaels was one of the personal

trainers involved in this show and very

very few of these contestants ever kept

the weight off simply because they found

that it slowed their metabolism let me

show you they found that the average

contestants metabolism had dramatically

slowed down and although they may have

continued to eat healthy and exercise

they had trouble keeping the weight off

so the big problem with the biggest

losers is the carbohydrate content when

you keep the carbohydrates too high it

actually slows the metabolism and even

keep ptosis by itself needs to be done

in a healthy way because it’s not lose

weight and get healthy it’s get healthy

to lose the weight now that might sound

really simple but it’s very very

effective especially if you want to keep

the weight off so for those of you that

are new to keto don’t get discouraged

when you hear things like this learn the

facts understand why it works how it

works

understand insulin I put a little mini

course down below for you personally to

get the facts and not the opinions that

are not true so you yourself can get the

amazing results that keto has the

potential to give you keto is low carb

is exactly it puts you in ketosis but

you know but that’s not good for you no

it’s not so I’ve lost 130 pounds with

keto and intermittent fasting and I love

it I feel amazing little old me was on

350 milligrams of blood-pressure meds

every time I complain to the doctors

they just keep giving me more and more

and it wasn’t helping me so I decided to

quit everything and do keto in a minute

fasting and it is so working I’m the

healthier for it I feel like it they’ve

had it back thirty years to my life

I lost from July to November I lost 60

pounds no bad plan I’ve been on keto

since a year ago January I’m 76 I’ve

lost 25 pounds I’ve been following your

plan for like the last 14 months and I

have lost 40 pounds brought back my even

see below five point five which is five

point four now and kind of reverse my

diabetes and also lost my stomach inches

about eight inches

wow that’s not bad I’ve been doing keto

since December so I lost 42 pounds I’m

in maintenance now I’m back to the

weight I was pretty much in high school

lost 40 pounds Wow I’ve been on your

keto diet since five months and I’ve

lost 50 pounds no bad plan insulin

dependent type-2 I’m 72 years old I was

on a hundred units a day of insulin and

I’ve been able to bring it down to 20

units so I am calling you last 62 days

you know and I lost almost 50 pounds

you’re on steroids the end of November

it’s been going going pretty well lost

about forty six pounds or so now no bad

plan have gotten rid of all of my

arthritis so my journey through keto and

intermittent fasting has been something

that has literally like changed my life

it has also saved my life you know I

started keto diet because of fighting

brain cancer and before that I was doing

the complete opposite and I never

thought in a million years that I was

going to be consuming low carbs and I

never thought that I would feel the way

that I do and now I feel better than I

ever have when I’m really not supposed

to you know I was going through

chemotherapy and radiation and that’s

kind of when I found the ketogenic diet

and you know doctors like this is gonna

happen this is going to happen this can

have

they gave me literally a book of side

effects and symptoms and problems I was

going to have and I literally had none

of them and I keto diet intermittent

fasting has been so incredibly powerful

and overcoming that and that’s it’s

something that has changed my life in

more ways than one other than physical

results it’s mental results it’s just

emotional balance it’s incredible

and again keto diet has literally saved

my life
