so today I want to talk about this idea

of boosting your metabolism trying to

speed it up a lot of people with a slow

metabolism and in their mind they think

they need to just just speed it up and

so they’re always looking for a pill to

do it or you know green tea extract or

chili pepper so they can speed up this

metabolic rate okay and then they find

it just doesn’t work so when you consume

caffeine or coffee to try to speed it up

you’re not stimulating your metabolism

you’re stimulating your sympathetic

nervous system which is the flight or

fight mechanism that is not the way to

lose weight you’re actually going to

gain weight by increasing that mechanism

because you raise cortisol and you’ll

notice that you’ll have it right in the

midsection right here green tea does

elevate the metabolism like in very

small amounts

it’s very insignificant you’re not going

to see a lot of weight come off just by

drinking green tea or consuming Chili

Peppers sometimes people have this idea

that Oh Chili Peppers it’s gonna create

some heat in my body

and so I’m gonna burn the fat off the

fat is not melted off with heat that’s

not the way it works there’s a machine

in your mitochondria that uses the fuel

for energy but it doesn’t do it through

just temperature okay or else we could

just sit in a sauna and melt the fat off

that’s not gonna work or sometimes

people will say well if I you know I’ll

eat more frequently to stimulate my

metabolism

well you’re operating off the idea that

oh if I’m hungry I have more of an

appetite then my metabolism is high no

no no that means that your blood sugars

are low okay and you need to eat it

doesn’t mean that your metabolism is

faster and it is true that if you eat it

will create a spike with insulin and

drop low blood sugar and then you’ll

want to eat more you’re just going to

raise insulin and get fatter so we have

the speed of the metabolism okay and

then we have the concept of what is

being burned okay

who cares if your metabolism is fast if

you’re only burning up your sugar

Reserve and not tapping into the fat

reserve there’s many things that slow

your metabolism the

two big ones are actually there’s three

age getting older okay you get through

menopause so your metabolism slows down

you don’t have as much growth hormone

things like that but also it’s the

amount of diets that you have done in

the past let’s say when you’re younger

especially as a kid so if you were

overweight as a child and you had to do

multiple diets again and again involving

a low-calorie chances are you’re gonna

have a very slow metabolism as an adult

or even if you gain weight in your late

teens or even early 20s or after the

pregnancy so you go on a diet you lose

weight initially weight comes back and

then you do a diet again and then it’s

it’s harder the next time and the third

time is even harder the fourth time it’s

impossible so what happens is the

frequency of diets really mess up your

metabolism because your body just

adjusts to the lower amount of calories

so your body just compensates the big

one though is the having insulin

resistance so the chronic consumption of

carbs over a long period of time develop

so much insulin resistance and what that

means is you have your cells are

resisting insulin so it’s going to make

more to compensate so it’s the quantity

of insulin in your body that will

prevent your metabolism for working so

you’re gonna have what like a certain

set point so maybe you can lose but you

can’t ever get below a certain weight

like 160 or something you just can’t get

below that well that’s because we have

insulin resistance and that is why the

keto plan and in a minute fasting works

so well because it targets this right

here okay you can’t necessarily undo age

okay you can’t really get rid of the

past but you can fix this okay and that

is the gonna actually speed up your

metabolism by fixing a hormone that is

dominating a hormone that is suppressing

the ability to burn fat when insulin is

low you can burn fat when insulin is

high you burn sugar fuel okay and also

this is a very important point to what

fuel is being burned do you want to burn

sugar you want to burn fat the

in fact you need to go into ketosis

ketones come from fat burning okay so

why not just focus on doing ketosis

exclusively and not do any other program

because you’re gonna actually focus on

the thing that you want is to lose

actual fat versus just weight loss okay

now if your thyroids involved of course

your metabolism is going to be slower as

well but usually thyroid is secondary to

high levels of estrogen or something

going on with the gallbladder or the

liver

okay stress we talked about that if you

increase stress you increase cortisol

that’s gonna slow things down

many people have gained weight after a

stress event so there are things you can

do to extract stress I’m going to put

some links down below if you had a major

stress event I suggest that you watch

that video it’s called the stress

webinar and you can undo some of that

old stress because it is accumulative in

the body growth hormone is increased

through high quality sleep intense

exercise and keeping your sugar low okay

with protein there’s a certain amount of

portion of protein lot smaller than you

think actually it’s between 16 and 32

percent of certain proteins and I’ll do

a separate video on this are actually

used for repair of the body not

necessarily used for calories okay so

when you’re considering calories in your

diet some of that portion of protein

should not be used because you’re gonna

be using that as repair and that is fuel

so I’m gonna do a separate video on that

the point about protein is that you want

a moderate amount of protein you want a

high quality protein so you’re getting

the maximum absorption of those amino

acids so it’s not wasted we want protein

that usually comes in nature versus

protein powders like whey protein is

very lean protein and that can stimulate

the insulin and create issues so you

want protein that comes in nature like

sardines eggs

fish a high-quality grass-fed meat

things like that but a moderate amount

we don’t want to go low on that but we

don’t want to go high we want to go

right in the middle right there okay so

then we have fat

the thing about fat is on a keto plan we

go up with the fat because we go down

with the carbs it’s totally okay to

consume fat as long as your carbs are

lower important things about fat is to

allow you to go longer without eating

it’s called intermittent fasting and fat

also has a lot of nutrition for your

hormones there’s going to be a point

once you have adapted to fat-burning

where you can start to cut your fat back

a little bit if you’re plateaued forcing

your body to use up its reserves and not

the dietary fat that you’re consuming so

we want to make some adjustments on that

I have a lot of videos on that I’ll put

some links down below so anyway I wanted

to just to clear up this idea that you

can just stimulate your metabolism boost

it without fixing the underlying issues

that so many people have thanks for

watching hey before you go would you

mind putting a comment down below to

tell me what you think about this video
