hey I have a question do you ever get

sleepy after we protein if you do this

video is for you okay so let’s talk

about the conditions first so excessive

amounts of protein now what is excessive

mean about a pound of chicken wings

right that would be too much a large

huge twelve ounce steak but sometimes

when you go to a restaurant the portions

they bring you especially when you get

to meats are quite large okay they’re

huge actually it can go up to twelve

ounces to fifteen ounces crazy I

recommend sticking with about three to

six ounces because anything more it

tends to overload the liver however if

you’re a big guy if you’re active if

you’re younger and you’re 18 you could

probably get away with a lot more

protein but just realize that if you go

too much it’s going to make you go to

sleep because it’s going to raise blood

sugars okay so excessive protein is one

number two low fat proteins the lower

the fat in the protein like whey protein

for example some of the other protein

powders the higher the insulin spike now

if you’re consuming whey protein it’s

not necessarily going to convert the fat

it will increase insulin it could make

you more tired especially if you do a

large amount so here’s what happens when

you consume low fat like protein like

whey but you’re not doing a lot of it it

will stimulate insulin from the pancreas

but there’s another hormone that it will

also trigger called glucagon and what

does glucagon is it’s not sugar it’s not

glycogen it’s not glucose its glucagon

okay that’s a hormone that opposes

insulin and it’s triggered typically

when you’re not eating or it’s triggered

by exercise or it’s triggered by eating

protein okay

so if you’re triggering insulin and

glucagon it’s a lot better than just

triggering insulin because you’re going

to counter some of the bad effects from

it okay you’re not going to get fat

because this is a fat burning hormone so

what’s gonna happen the whey protein

will be driven into the cells the

insulin will help it go in there

but here’s the thing we don’t want to

keep triggering instant too much because

it’s going to create insulin resistance

so we want to keep it low do I recommend

whey protein powder no I don’t it’s

probably the least damaging of a lot of

different proteins but the problem is

that it’s a kind of a refined product

and it’d be much better if you had more

of a natural protein that comes with in

nature which comes with more fat and

that has a lower insulin response okay

so now the next thing is protein with

carbs Wow when you consume a burger with

fries a burger with a bun burger with

ketchup you greatly enhanced insulin and

this is where you’re gonna want to take

a nap okay so start like protein and

starches like potato not good meat

potatoes not good I was raised in the

Midwest we did meet Mateos 24/7

so that’s why I’m doing the seminar

right now because I had a lot of body

problems back then okay so we want to

avoid that and then low stomach acids if

your stomach is not acidic enough maybe

you’re getting older and that’s why it’s

going down maybe you ate junk food for a

long period of time and that weakened

your acids and the way that you know

that you have low stomach acids is that

you have indigestion bloating gas

heartburn acid reflux GERD that means

you need more acid okay that’s going to

help the digestion of protein if you’re

in a low salt diet for example sodium

chloride the chlorides are needed to

make hydrochloric acid so people that

are low salt dies for a long period of

time typically have lower stomach acids

then they start getting problems

digesting proteins in general so the

problem with the stomach of not being

able to digest protein is that you’re

not going to have the raw material for

the building blocks to replenish all the

body parts but again if you’re getting

tired after consuming protein then look

at these reasons why if you’re getting

tired after consuming carbs we know it’s

just insulin

and if you get tired after eating fats

that can be an overloading of the

gallbladder as well or the liver alright

so thanks for watching I will see you in
