hey guys I’m back and today we’re going

to talk about the fasting eating cycle

in a little more detail but I’m going to

try to make it as simple as possible

it’s actually very interesting okay so

over here we have the Emeka nism that

occurs when we’re eating okay over here

we have what happens when we are fasting

when we’re not eating so the cell needs

to be fed so when you’re eating insulin

is involved to feed the cell so what

it’s doing it’s taking the excess

glucose out of the blood and it’s

feeding the cell now if you’re consuming

a lot of carbs which most people do

it’ll then take some of that sugar and

it converts into storage sugar called

glycogen but we don’t have a lot of

glycogen storage we have like a limit we

could only store like 2,000 calories

anything more goes to fat and

cholesterol we have an unlimited

capacity to store fat so this is where

most people end up right down here okay

so now when we’re not eating and we’re

fasting there’s another hormone involved

called insulin-like growth factor so

insulin like growth factor is very

similar to insulin in that it does also

feed the cell glucose but the glucose is

not coming from the diet it’s coming

from the stored glucose as glycogen from

your liver and from your muscle so

basically your cell always gets fed one

way or the other either from the food or

from the storage okay but we don’t have

a lot of glycogen so did you fast a

little bit longer it’ll start tapping

into the fat and release that and feed

the cell so we have this nice little

balance going back and forth so IGF is

under complete control of the growth

hormone which is produced by the

pituitary and it works through the liver

and a lot of the functions of IGF are

the same as growth hormone so this is

also involved in releasing fuel to the

cell as well but I’m not going to get

into that much detail so if we have

enough growth hormone we have enough IGF

and everything is cool and by the way

our bodies have about a hundred times

in quantity in volume this hormone to

insulin what does that mean that means

that our bodies were designed to not eat

way more than we eat and the problem

that we’re running into right now is

people eat too frequently and they eat

too many carbs now recently I did a an

interview with a guy that was on The

Biggest Loser

he was I think 325 pounds he lost I

think 114 pounds in three months and

then he gained it all back he found some

videos that I did he’d liked the concept

of healthy ketosis in a minute fasting

he then proceeded to lose 90 pounds okay

so he did very very well but what was

fascinating about his interview which

I’m gonna put the link down below was

what he ate during the Biggest Loser

versus my recommendations as far as

eating and they were definitely

different because I recommended no fruit

potatoes but I think the biggest

difference is that he started doing

fasting because when he was on The

Biggest Loser he was like eating every

hour and then he was snacking at night

so you’re just like constantly raising

insulin over and over because every time

you eat you spike insulin so our bodies

were designed to fast a lot longer than

we eat and when we do that we all sorts

of health problems clear up when you

combine frequent eating with a chronic

carbohydrate consumption with low

potassium you get massive problems with

huge spike in insulin so as we increase

insulin and we become insulin dominant

we start not needing to use this anymore

so we actually suppress IGF we suppress

growth hormone now if we compound that

with age and liver damage because this

will eventually create a fatty liver and

inflammation and eventually cirrhosis of

the liver if we compound that then we

actually get even a lesser amount of

growth hormone and a lesser amount of

IGF okay so now let me just show you

what happens we have all this

carbohydrate and all this insulin being

produced the body will start to protect

itself so it develops insulin resistant

okay so now what happens is we need more

and more insulin to create the same

effect so what happens is when we have

more insulin we just said we still have

normal blood sugars okay because we have

more insulin to lower them so when you

get checked like oh you’re fine you

don’t have diabetes but they never check

for insulin so give it more time and

then the pancreas starts getting

exhausted now we get to the point where

this mechanism is overwhelmed so now

what happens is the blood sugars start

going higher and higher and higher and

that’s what we call diabetes but before

that you may have a spike in insulin and

end up with hypoglycemia because there’s

too much insulin that’s pushing the

blood sugar down well IGF comes in there

to protect you against that so we have a

combination of growth hormone igf-1 go

down to low but if we have liver damage

because of these factors right here we

no longer have the protective effect

against the low blood sugars and so you

have other hormones that are countering

insulin as well and that would be

cortisol okay that’s the stress hormone

that’s one of them and adrenaline

so this basically would just turn your

muscles into sugar so that’s why you’ll

start seeing people with a loss of

muscles in their leg they get really

kind of thin legs no butt and it’s all

in the gut so there’s these three

counter hormones that are working hard

to keep the sugar high but depending on

if you have a problem with the liver or

your dreams you may have symptoms of

hypoglycemia before you get

hyperglycemia which is diabetes some

people don’t have a problem with that so

they go right from pre-diabetes to

diabetes which is hyperglycemia high

sugar and when you actually lose growth

hormone you lose the protein sparing

effect and you also have additional

muscle loss just from that alone so the

combination of high cortisol and loss of

growth hormone equals loss of muscle

mass you see this a lot in menopause

growth hormone also stimulates cartilage

growth so you see a lot of people as

they get older they lose their

joints as well because of this all right

so what are we gonna do to solve this

number one we don’t want to eat so

frequently we want to do in a minute

fasting that’s going to take the stress

off the pancreas and you’ll instantly

start improving your liver

you’ll start increasing growth hormone

we want to add exercise that’s gonna

also burn off the excess glucose and get

you into fat-burning a lot faster as far

as what to eat we want to go a low carb

we want to go high potassium I put the

link down below with exactly what I’m

gonna recommend is called healthy

ketosis alright guys thanks for watching

and I will see in the next video so if

that sounds weird well I’ll just remind
