hey guys I’m back and today I’m gonna do

a slightly different video than I

normally do I’m gonna talk about the

book that turned my health around okay

and the name of that book was mastering

the zone by Barry Sears PhD his first

book was the zone if I’m not mistaken

and then he he wrote a book called

mastering his own as a second look but

don’t quote me on that that’s just my

thought and I’m gonna read to you the

one line that I had this huge Epiphany

okay

so first I’m gonna read in Chapter one

and then there’s this basically a little

paragraph in Chapter one and a little

paragraph in Chapter two okay so this is

acts I didn’t even read the rest of the

book I just read these two paragraphs I

scanned okay obviously that was not the

enemy if that isn’t the enemy then what

is the answer is insulin it’s excess

insulin that makes you fat and keeps you

fat and your body produces excessive

amounts of insulin when you eat either

too many fat free carbohydrates or too

many calories at a meal now I’m gonna

come back to this because this is where

the problem is that he didn’t explain

this well enough but I’m gonna I’ll come

back to that therefore when you talk

about the zone it is really the zone of

insulin now I didn’t even know that

before I read the book I did not know he

was talking about the insulin zone not

too high not too low a zone of insulin

controlled by your diet okay that was in

Chapter 1 chapter 2 but more important

protein is so vital because it

stimulates the hormone glucagon now

chapter 1 he’s talking about insulin

being the problem and I talked about

that a lot but there’s another hormone

called glucagon that does the opposite

to insulin okay it’ll suppress insulin

they both work on a teeter-totter

mechanism and protein will stimulate

glucagon exercise will stimulate

glucagon carbs stimulate insulin so

glucagon has the opposite physiological

action to

in fact and this is the line that blew

me away

in fact glucagon acts as a major

governor of excess insulin production he

knows at that time where I was like wow

nine understand this in school but it

never really connected with what you eat

and then he goes into this it is excess

insulin that makes you fat makes you

hungry makes you mentally foggy

decreases your physical performance and

increases the likelihood of chronic

disease now at the time I was extremely

exhausted with brain fog starving all

the time I didn’t know why so I replaced

my my cereal for breakfast with I think

I had a it was a buffalo burger the

first time and then I think the second

time I had some fish and it was like

someone took a helmet off my head I was

like oh my gosh I feel so much better so

that was when I started telling all my

patients oh you need to start having a

protein breakfast and it wrote in my

book and the whole thing and that went

on for a couple years but then I

stumbled on some additional information

which took me to the next level and it

really had to do with what Barry

originally said in chapter one with

these this eating if you eat in general

anything significant with calories

this is gonna affect insulin so at the

time I didn’t really get it but looking

back on it this is just basically eating

so eating the frequency of eating and

the carbs so when I introduced in a

minute fasting and I cut the breakfast

right out I eliminated this part of the

insulin equation and eliminated this and

then I started going my health started

going higher and higher and higher so

that’s pretty much what I teach right

now now the problem with mastering the

zone is that he’s recommending 40% fat

30% protein and 30% carbs he’s allowing

way too many carbs

even in the zone bar that he sells

there’s soy protein low quality tapioca

starch corn syrup and sugar so I’m not

even recommending this book what you

should do is healthy keto and in a min

fasting so your fat is 70% and your

protein is 20% and your overall carbs

are really like 10% but you’re not

really counting the vegetables but the

vegetables would be like 5% because it’s

mostly fiber and water and then 5% low

glycemic carbs like hummus or the carbs

and nuts or the carbs and berries

something like that so in summary I do

appreciate the data that he has in this

book the problem is knowing what the

vital data is and what data that might

not be vital or might not be true and

sometimes you don’t know until you

really try it out well I’m gonna tell

you that this formula right here

healthy keto and in a minute fasting has

been thoroughly tested on a large amount

of people that I’m working with that are

in social media so if you’re new to this

I put a link down below of exactly what

you should be eating and lastly in the

comments I want you to tell me when you

came across some information or some

concept that turned your health around

if it was a book or a video go ahead and

put that down below because I’m really

curious thanks for watching
