there’s a very important um

misconception out there regarding

carbohydrates okay

i want to clear this up because you’ll

see this

in various articles and different books

and this is what they say carbs are the

body’s most important

source of fuel okay they’ll say that

glucose is the most important source of

energy in the body now what does that

mean most important

source of energy does that mean it’s the

healthiest source of energy

i guess the question is i need

clarification and what they mean by

most important okay because the more

important question is this

what fuel source gives the body the most

health sometimes they’ll um they’ll say

that the brain

is dependent on glucose as a major

energy

source and then in the next sentence

they’ll say ketones are an

alternative source of energy usually

used when you’re starving

and so they kind of put ketones in a

negative light like they’re an

alternative fuel source

or you only make ketones when you’re

starving they won’t

usually mention fasting or intermittent

fasting sounds pretty dangerous

they might also add in their

ketoacidosis

a very rare condition for type 1

diabetics where you’re

you’re not using insulin and your

ketones are off the chart

to make it sound that ketones are very

very dangerous then you have the usda

guidelines

which recommend that 65 of all your

calories

should be carbohydrates so then we know

that if they recommend it it must be

true and also say that your body likes

to eat carbs because

they’re the first line of energy the

body will always burn the carbs first

before other energy sources like fat

or ketones so here’s the question i have

if this is actually true that our bodies

were designed to live on glucose

mainly as it’s very important fuel

source

and other fuel sources are not natural

they’re alternative and they’re used as

a backup

why do we have such a massive problem

with diabetes in the world diabetes is a

situation where

they have dysfunctional insulin so they

can’t regulate

glucose so insulin is either

dysfunctional

or there’s not enough insulin to take

the glucose out of the blood because

it’s either

not there or it’s insufficient in some

manner

so now we have this higher level of

glucose

in the blood and both of these

conditions occur

when you have high levels of glucose or

carbs

in the diet so if our bodies like

carbohydrates

why is everyone becoming a diabetic and

why is it

that so many health problems clear up

when you switch fuel sources

from carbohydrates or glucose

to fat and ketones i’m talking about

a fatty liver i’m talking about diabetes

i’m talking about insulin resistance i’m

talking about

mood disorders anxiety depression

cognitive disorders dementia better

focus

better concentration i’m talking about

other conditions

related to your hormones like pcos

polycystic ovarian syndrome

why does someone’s cholesterol do better

when they switch fuel sources

why does a person’s triglycerides come

down

why does a person with bad heart

problems actually get better

when they get in a ketogenic diet now if

you take a look at what

a normal blood sugar is it should be

right around 80 right

i mean what does that mean 80 milligrams

per deciliter

that’s basically one little teaspoon of

sugar

in all of your blood now if our bodies

were meant to consume

65 of the calories carbohydrates which

is basically

a cup and a half of sugar how can a

person’s blood sugar show

normal like 80 if they’re consuming all

the sugar well because

the insulin is coming in there and very

rapidly taking the sugar

out of the blood and putting it as

storage to keep that

normal blood sugars and so when many

people go to the doctor their

blood sugar is normal despite consuming

a massive amount of sugar

simply because the doctors rarely test

insulin levels they’re mainly focused on

glucose

levels if they were to also test the

insulin level

they would find a huge massive spike

in insulin that’s called hyper insulin

anemia in that condition

high levels of insulin is brewing in the

oven

for probably 10 to 15 to 20 years

before the person even gets a

pre-diabetic situation

or a diabetic situation so i just want

to do this video

to show you this very important

distinction

on what fuel source the body really

naturally was designed to run on

it’s not glucose it’s ketones if you’re

new to my channel

check out the link down below of exactly

what you need to be eating

hey before you go if you’re benefiting

from

any of my content i would love
