hi guys today we’re gonna talk about key

tell Platt tell okay you get on the

ketogenic plan and you lose all this

weight initially maybe like the first

month for six weeks but then things

start slowing down what’s happening this

is very frustrating it may cause you to

want to quit or stop but you may not

because of all the other benefits you

might be looking better feeling better

in your clothes and you might have no

cravings no hunger and have more energy

okay but let’s just talk about plateau

in general you know about The Biggest

Loser

right these people workout basically

eight hours a day they reduce the

calories they eventually lose the weight

do they gain the way back yes pretty

much all of them gain the way back why

because of this one simple fact losing

weight is not a normal thing for the

body it’s anti is survival I mean just

think about what fat is fat is stored

energy in fact your body doesn’t even

care what you look like it just wants to

store the energy and hold it you know

this is true because it’s much easier to

gain weight than it is to lose weight

alright so now when you go on a diet and

I’m talking about a low calorie diet

your metabolism will adjust and it will

start slowing down it will adapt and you

will eventually create what’s called a

set point which is a weight that it’s

almost impossible to bust through so

let’s say for example you’re on the

program and you get to let’s say 180 or

170 and you just can’t seem to get below

that okay you’re just like no matter

what you do so what really stops you

from busting through that Plateau that

set point that weight that your body is

very comfortable at is high levels of

insulin okay so too much insulin won’t

counter your ability to burn fat because

it prevents fat burning okay and usually

what comes along with that is insulin

resistance so the combination of insulin

resistance which the majority of the

population has and excessive insulin

they goes both go hand-in-hand

is what’s behind this set point okay all

right the big question is does keto slow

your metabolism like other diets

and the answer is this not if you’re

adding intermittent fasting okay now why

do I say that and by the way what’s the

difference between intermittent fasting

and a low calorie diet some people will

say they’re the same thing because you

are consuming less calories if you’re

not eating so frequent right well

there’s a huge difference and it boils

down to this one reference right here in

guidance physiology okay on page 930 and

we’re talking about other factors that

stimulate insulin okay it says

gastrointestinal hormones there’s a

hormone called GI P now what does that

mean it means that when you eat when you

eat frequently you trigger insulin so

key tell is low carb and that’s gonna

lower insulin in a min fasting is less

frequent eating less GIP hormone less

insulin okay so both these actions keto

low-carb intermón fasting less frequent

eating will lower insulin and improve

this set point this plateau where as low

calories doesn’t focus on frequency of

eating in fact when you’re in a low

calorie diet you have to eat frequent

meals and snacks you’re probably doing

five to six meals small meals well try

this experiment at home go ahead and

fast and then go ahead and eat just a

little bit of protein let’s say two

strips of bacon and I’ve done this

before you eat just a little bit of

protein I will guarantee within an hour

you are gonna be starving okay why

because of this you’re eating and every

time you eat you spike insulin almost

regardless of what you eat anything

so it’ll spike insulin the blood Sugar’s

will be plummeted and then you will be

hungry so with low calorie diets you are

constantly hungry okay and you have more

insulin production within a minute

fasting despite having the same amount

of calories okay as a low calorie diet

you have less insulin spike because

you’re not eating so frequently but the

cool thing is you’re not hungry

why

because when you lower insulin you

finally get to tap in your fat reserve

now there’s a great analogy is that

someone added to one of my comments in

the YouTube channel when you’re doing

the low calorie diet and you’re

dependent on sugar fuel you’re basically

living paycheck to paycheck because

you’re dependent on the sugar okay

you’re not tapping into the fat you tap

into fat you have to lower the insulin

when you’re doing keto and I F you’re

tapping into your reserve fuel the fat

this is your wise investments that build

up a reserve over time that give you

interest now with this model you may

have a huge reserve in the bank you

might have a million dollars in the bank

but you’re not able to tap into it

because insulin is like the lock that

holds it there alright so in order to

tap into this fat you need to lower

insulin and that’s gonna help lower your

setpoint

now the main reason why you get a

plateau on keto mainly has to do with

your past dieting okay

you may remember when the first time you

died it worked

second time maybe worked third time it

didn’t work is great for time it’s not

working that great and then to the point

where now it doesn’t work at all all

that means is you’ve generated so much

insulin in your body and you do so much

instant resistance that’s what’s really

behind this problem so when you do keto

and you definitely need to add if’ to it

and that’s the secret to speed this up

realize that the barrier is the high

insulin and you need to actually do a

little bit lower carb with the keto and

you need to decrease the frequency of

eating and get a little bit stricter

with your intimate of fasting now a lot

of you based on survey are doing a

six-hour window of eating in an 18 hour

fast okay but you’re still doing two

meals which is fine but if you plateaued

and you want to speed things up okay

what you want to do is you want to go

down to one meal a day okay it’s called

Oh mad what that will do that will speed

things up because you’re gonna really

drop insulin down and the other tip you

want to do is when you do keto start to

lower your carbs even below 20 grams

maybe down to even

10 grams or even lower okay and there’s

one more thing that you want to do that

I talked about in other videos and I’ll

put the link down below

it’s called prolonged fasting you can do

it periodically once a week do once a

month so I put a link down below on that

video specifically and I also put a link

down below of how I would recommend

doing in a minute fasting so check it

out

bust through the plateau through

lowering your insulin improving insulin

resistance thanks for watching so I want

to thank you for being here and watching

my videos if you haven’t already

subscribed go ahead and do so so you can

stay informed of future videos
