so you may have heard this before maybe

another video this concept of

restricting calories and living longer

it’s been a lot of research in this on

animals insects bacteria and yeast and

mice that if you actually cut their

calories they live longer but that

conflicts with all the people that have

done low calorie diets in the past it’s

been proven that the more you diet and

you lower your calories you end up

gaining the weight back becoming bigger

and really struggling to stay on any

diet and not only that it destroys your

metabolism over time so how could the

restriction of calories end up making

you healthier and live longer that’s

what I want to talk about so a couple

things most of the studies out there

we’re done in animals not humans there

have been some studies done on humans

using the fasting mimicking diet where

you’re doing meals that are 500 calories

a day there’s also a program out there

called 5 and 2 okay where you can pretty

much eat what you want 5 days out of the

week but 2 of the days you’re consuming

500 calories per day so you’re

restricting your calories so there are a

couple problems with this and there’s

some problems with this as well when you

do the fasting mimicking diet you’re not

doing this

for any period of time you’re doing it

for a short period of time and then

you’re off of it you’re going back to it

like a diet which I don’t agree with

because what happens when you’re not

fasting you can pretty much eat whatever

you want and that is something that’s

not very workable the other big problem

when you lower calories is what are

those calories made up of if you’re

doing low calories but higher carbs

you’re going to keep your blood Sugar’s

up and down up and down up and down so

you’re going to be very hungry you can

actually be very uncomfortable you’re

gonna be very weak you’re gonna be very

irritable ok I’ve done these diets

before the only thing in my mind is that

big pizza I’m going to consume as soon

as I get off the diet and then you have

people that do low calorie and they’re

doing with low fat that is going to

stimulate a lot of hunger again very

uncomfortable not sustainable and this

is a real big problem

people go on diets blood sugar issues

hungry all the time

you’re gonna binge you’re gonna go off

the program you’re gonna then eat the

wrong foods and you’re gonna do this

over and over again and every time you

do this you destroy your metabolism a

little bit more a little bit more so

let’s talk about the real benefit when

you restrict calories the benefit is

epigenetics okay

epigenetics means above genetics so you

have certain amount of genes and then

you have the things that trigger these

genes

it’s called expression of a certain gene

and the genes that affect longevity and

weight loss have to do with really

lowering your glucose and your insulin

these are the two powerful triggers for

the benefits of the calorie restriction

not the fact that you’re restricting

calories but that you’re restricting

glucose in insulin this is where the

benefits come from right here the other

big problem I see when people do low

calories is they lower the nutrients and

they create nutritional deficiencies

especially if they do it long term they

end up with all sorts of problems but if

you’re new to my channel this is what I

recommend I do not recommend trying to

restrict your calories

I recommend you’re stretching your

glucose and that that will indirectly

lower your insulin because so a low carb

diet very very important but not at low

fat diet so you want to increase your

fat moderate protein lower your carbs

what will happen is your body’s going to

now shift it’s going to shift its

metabolism over to fat burning your

hunger is gonna go away it’s going to be

very easy to do you’re not gonna have

the blood sugar issues why because your

carbs are low it’s really about keeping

your carbs low and keeping you in

fat-burning it’s gonna be very

comfortable and even pleasurable when

you’re able to tap in your fat because

your hunger goes away and this makes it

sustainable so instead of going low

calorie or doing a 500 calorie meal I

recommend you do intra minute fasting

okay so you’re gonna try to go without

any food as long as you can okay until

you’re hungry and then you’re gonna eat

why because that’s gonna help lower

insulin okay and when you’re lower

insulin all sorts of things happen

on the epigenetic level and the genetic

level as well you definitely live longer

you can have a lot of health benefits

and when you go from three meals a day

down to two meals a day down to one meal

a day you’re naturally going to lower

your calories because there’s no way

you’re gonna be able to consume what you

would consume in three meals in one meal

but it’s not the fact that you’re

lowering calories that makes the

difference it’s this right here don’t

focus on calorie restriction focus on

healthy keto which is low carb higher

fat focus on nutrient-dense foods so you

have no malnutrition as well as

infrequent eating so this way it’s

sustainable you can do it long-term

it’ll be comfortable you won’t be hungry
