let’s talk about fat okay because what

we want to do we want to keep the

carbohydrates way down there no more

than 50 grams per day hopefully down

like 20 grams we want the proteins to be

at a moderate amount not too much

because it can convert to insulin and

then now we want the fats to be about 60

to 80 percent of the total calories now

let me just explain what I mean I’m not

talking about total volume I’m talking

about calories if we take one unit of

the fat unit it had more it has more

than twice as many calories is the

carbohydrates or protein so I’m talking

about daily calories I’m not talking

about just quantity so it’s not going to

be like you’re going to have deep dream

drinking liquid butter or lard but

you’re going to have a good amount of

fats in the diet and we’re going to have

healthy fats there’s some things to talk

about regarding fat and understand

because people are freaked out because

they’ve heard for a long time that this

eating fat will clog your arteries

probably the biggest study I think his

name was

Ansel keys and he was he did the study

back in the 50s and started this whole

phobia of fat and so what we found out

now if someone has ever read the study

that he omitted several countries in

this study so we didn’t show the full

picture so he basically took what he

wanted to and then he omitted the other

stuff that he didn’t want to so it was

we found now that found out that that

study was altered and fat now is okay to

consume and this is after years of

putting everyone on low-fat diets but

let’s talk about clogged arteries there

is no study whatsoever that is

independent study that shows that eating

fat will cause increase in cholesterol

or heart problems in any way shape or

form okay so that’s interesting because

that goes against what people been

telling you now they did some studies

and they found that eating fat will

cause

so insulin resistance and possibly some

diabetes but the types of fats that they

use use were corn oil okay

well of course corn oil is genetically

modified it’s really bad I’m not going

to recommend a consume it so we have

healthy fats and we have unhealthy fats

we’ll get into that a little bit the

next thing is that why do we have to eat

the fat number one there’s a lot of

nutrients in fat

that’s where you get all your fat

vitamins fat soluble vitamins vitamin A

D E K k1 k2 those vitamins are essential

for health and you can’t live without

them and yes you consume vegetables but

those have the precursor of vitamin A

for example they don’t have the the

actual active form of vitamin A which is

fat cybo vitamin I’m going to do a video

on that you have to have to be converted

so really it would take four pounds of

carrots to equal 1 teaspoon of beef

liver for vitamin A so again I’m talking

about available fats I love vitamins

most of those are in animal products is

in the fat and we must consume products

with with these fats I have item ins so

that’s the nutrient we have essential

fatty acids omega-3 fatty acids we need

a little bit of omega-6 those are

essential because our body can’t make

them we also need cholesterol our body

does make it but it’s a beneficial thing

because it helps to heal parts of our

tissues that’s part of the purpose and

now we get into the raw materials for

the bodies you know that your brain is

mostly fat so we have to constantly

replace that your brain sucks up 20% of

all the calories and you eat go to your

brain so it’s a very hungry organ and

it’s full of fat the nervous system all

the myelin sheath that surrounds the

nerve is made from fat all of your cell

walls you have trillions of cells and

they’re all made of fat so we need that

fat to protect the cells in the immune

system

fat is a an immune protector as well

there’s a lot of

properties that help the immune system

even a baby when they when a baby is

given or an infant breast milk there’s

just tons of healthy fats to help that

baby develop and lastly the raw

materials of fat build up your hormones

without fat you’re going to starve the

body of those hormones and have all

sorts of problems with fertility with

memory cognitive especially the stress

hormones and the sex hormones your

libido is going to go down so we need

these fats okay so that’s the benefit of

consuming fats and they also will

satisfy you nutritionally and you’ll be

less hungry so that’s important because

you don’t want to be doing any type of

program that you’re hungry

and then the question the big question

is this if I eat these fats will those

fats convert to more fat that’s the big

question that people have well yes - no

it depends what type of fats that you

consume the type of fats that I’m gonna

recommend are mainly medium chain

triglycerides which or smaller so we’re

not doing the long chain triglycerides

they’re just basically shorter fats that

we’ll show you how to get that in your

diet that convert to energy and they

don’t most of that does not even convert

to fat at all very small amounts if you

consume large quantities but you’re

going to be consuming the right amount

of fats that’s going to convert to

energy so what we want as an ideal seem

is we want you to get the energy from

the fat and we want you to get the

energy from the stored fat of your body

okay so that’s what we’re going to do

we’re going to actually use some of that

to run their body on we’re going to use

some of our store fat as energy so you

can lose the actual fat and we’ll make

adjustments till it’s perfect and it’s

true if your activity is very slow and

you’re a little bit older you may not be

able to consume as many fats but you

need some of this fat to be able to to

supply the health of the body because

the body if it’s an unhealthy state if

you try to lose weight unhealthy you’re

not going to lose weight so our goal

really is to make you healthy and part

of that is to feed the body what it

needs
