you know i’ve talked a lot about the

ketogenic diet fasting exercise

how to burn fat

but i haven’t really focused on other

things that can help you speed up this

fat burning process

specifically phytonutrient

now what is it about phytonutrients that

can help you lose weight well there’s

some pretty serious research on the six

herbs i’m going to talk about in

relationship to turning on certain genes

that have to do with increasing your

metabolism

activating certain genes that can help

you

cause more fat oxidation which is fat

burning and the primary mechanism

of a lot of these herbs has to do with

one thing it helps make insulin more

sensitive insulin is a fat storing

hormone if you have too much insulin

you’re not going to lose weight i think

that the best analogy would be someone

that you know that obsessively

communicates to you they just will not

be quiet they keep talking and talking

and talking no matter what you do

um they’re a terrible listener and all

they do is talk right after a while

you’re going to lose your sensitivity to

their communication you’re going to

phase out the same exact thing happens

with your cells

if you have too much communication too

much insulin coming through hormone

communication

your body just becomes insensitive it

just it becomes resistant and it no

longer receives that communication

so what does that cause your body to do

make more communication make more

insulin and that is behind a slow

metabolism that is behind excessive

weight accumulation and also your

inability to lose weight if you take

someone that can lose weight easily uh

no matter what they eat they usually

have

insulin sensitivity they don’t have

insulin resistance versus someone else

that

boy they just look at food and they gain

weight they have major insulin

resistance and their body is making more

insulin so anything that improves

insulin resistance will lower insulin

and you’re going to get into ketosis fat

burning more and your body is going to

burn more

fat so let’s get right into the six

herbs number one in one study which

happened to be in a lab they used human

fat cells by the way

they exposed these fat cells to a

compound in cinnamon called

cinnamaldehyde and they noticed that the

metabolism started speeding up so

cinnamon has certain compounds that

activate your genetics to help you burn

more fat it also is very powerful for a

diabetic since

pretty much all diabetics are insulin

resistant and this is why they recommend

cinnamon to help balance your blood

sugar so it’s really

effective for insulin resistance and

making insulin more sensitive and it’s

also a very powerful anti-inflammatory

and by the way inflammation in general

makes insulin resistance worse

so cinnamon is a really really great

thing to consume i would get it in a tea

you can take a cinnamon stick and put

that right in your cup and heat it up

and drink that you can put cinnamon in

certain foods you can make these little

keto cookies which have no sugar and add

cinnamon and i want to just say one

thing

just by taking any of these herbs

and not changing your diet you’re pretty

much wasting your money it’s not going

to work so you have to change your diet

too but they can help you lose a couple

more pounds and make your metabolism a

little bit faster all right number two

turmeric turmeric hands down is probably

one of the most powerful

super herbs that are out there now the

big way that turmeric works is in its

anti-inflammatory properties

the compound in turmeric is curcumin and

because it drops inflammation it

automatically improves insulin

resistance but it also directly

increases fat oxidation and another term

for a fat oxidation is fat burning and

it does it through activating certain

genetics so that’s pretty cool all right

number three fenugreek seeds

now typically fenugreek seeds are good

for digestion uh gas bloating

indigestion

but

fenugreek seeds also have a

phytonutrient that directly improves

insulin resistance it makes insulin more

sensitive so therefore lowering insulin

and a lot of people take it for blood

sugars but you can also take it to help

you lose some more weight all right

number four garcinia cambogia this is a

pretty pretty interesting

herb it has very interesting compounds

for a lot of different things

one is cancer but one big effect is

in its ability to help you lose weight

in one study it showed that it can help

you lose up to two pounds more in a two

to twelve week period compared to the

placebo group the main active compound

in this herb is called

hydroxycitrate and hydroxycitrate is

good for many things it’s good for

kidney stones it’s good to decrease

appetite but it’s especially good in

increasing insulin sensitivity it helps

to lower insulin resistance and this is

going to cause you to store less fat and

it was also found there is increased fat

byproducts in the urine after taking

this product for a period of time i’ll

put the research down below all right

number five my favorite green tea

its active compound egcg has the ability

to stimulate your metabolism directly it

can also cause fat oxidation directly

especially during exercise in one study

it was demonstrated that it could

increase your fat burning by 17

if combined with exercise so that’s

pretty cool i mean green tea is good for

so many things it has anti-cancer

properties anti-inflammatory properties

it helps increase longevity and the list

goes on and on and on all right number

six

berberine berberine in certain studies

shows almost

the exact effect as metformin and

metformin

targets insulin resistance i mean that’s

why people take it when they have

diabetes so it makes your cells more

sensitive to insulin it reduces insulin

and also turns off that liver from

producing too much glucose and so you

don’t end up with a fatty liver so

berberine is known for blood sugars but

anything that improves blood sugars and

insulin is going to help you lose weight

and so this is why berberine is used for

diabetes it’s used for pcos polycystic

ovarian syndrome which is

a female problem with too many androgens

which is caused by too much insulin

too much insulin triggers androgens and

in one study that i read

people that take it over a period of

three months

lose significantly more weight so

berberine is definitely included on this

list so like i said before um if you

take any of these herbs without changing

your diet you’re wasting your money but

i wanted to give you some additional

things

to give you um an extra edge in losing

weight and burning fat now if you

haven’t seen my other video on how to

accelerate fat burning i put it up right

here i think you’ll enjoy it check it
