so the question today is do you eat

based on what you’re in the mood for now

if you’re in Quito you’re probably doing

it for health reasons or to lose weight

so this doesn’t really apply but for

those of you that are not on keto what

determines the motivation of what you

eat if you wouldn’t mind just type that

down in the comment section I want to

review all of them I’m just really

curious what you’re gonna say but this

is a very dangerous question to ask your

body what it’s in the mood for because

you’re really asking what’s going on

with your blood Sugar’s and if the blood

sugars are low the answer you’re gonna

get is going to be refined carbohydrates

or salty crunchy carbohydrates which are

usually refined carbohydrates so many

times there’s not some sophisticated

answer either from this question

especially when you’re snacking some

people eat just to raise their mood or

their or to increase their energy or

they might just eat because it’s their

last weekend I went to see the movie

nineteen seventeen it’s a great movie

and I was observing people buying

popcorn and came into theater and some

people had this huge container of

popcorn it was just gigantic with all

this you know healthy butter on it right

which is very very filled with trans

fats and things like that

and they were just downing all this

popcorn with all sorts of other

additional junk food as well not even

thinking twice so one of the things you

want to do if you go to a theater and

you’re going to do something like that

get the smallest container or in your

house make sure you just don’t have this

junk food available because if it’s

there people just eat it they don’t

really think anything else other than I

got to eat it cuz it’s there and then

it’s gone I won’t eat it but there’s

nothing sophisticated going on other

than that now another interesting thing

about salty crunchy foods is in the

Paleolithic times salt was very scarce

potassium in plant foods was more

abundant and an average person back then

consumed a lot more vegetation even

magnesium they estimated it was like 600

milligrams of magnesium and I think it

was like over 11,000 milligrams

of potassium from plants and root

vegetables and all sorts of things so

our bodies have developed like in the

kidney certain hormones to retain salt

but not necessarily to retain potassium

potassium is not really retained your

body will kind of go through it sodium

is retained and we also have a mechanism

to crave sodium foods we do not have a

mechanism to crave potassium vegetable

hosts and things like that and this gets

people into trouble because the last row

body what am I in the mood for Oh

something salty so they’ll actually

they’ll beef up on the salt okay the

sodium but not in the potassium and then

they start to alter this ratio of

potassium sodium and they start getting

fluid retention and because they’re low

on potassium to start craving carbs even

more so this is another reason why if

you’re eating start with your vegetables

first your big salad then you’re salty

protein whatever you eat and the other

thing you want to do is you want to find

some healthy food within the keto family

of foods that have keto friendly that

gives you a lot of pleasure and you want

to focus on that for me it’s more like

egg yolks bacon maybe fried mushrooms

with cheese on it like I can live on

that in the past growing up you know we

have this reward connected with food if

you clean your room I’ll give you some

candy right or something like that or

guilt you know people are starving in

Ethiopia so you have to eat all of your

food on your plate or penalties if you

don’t eat everything in your plate

you’re gonna get a spanking or you can’t

go outside you’re gonna be grounded or

for a conference let’s say for example

you’re sick right and your grandmother

comes over and oh let’s give it let’s

give you some candy or a piece of cake

or something like that

so people start developing all these

weird things related to food and lastly

there’s an interesting study that I was

reading on the amount of food that a

person eats is related to how many

people that you’re socializing with so

if there’s a huge group of people you’ll

tend to eat way more food then with one

person you’re eating with so to party a

social event all these people you end up

we’re doing it you know let’s say you’re

starving and then you start eating and

you can have like mildly full and then

you’re full

now you’re full with you’re satisfied

but you keep going and - you’re stuffed

and then you’re completely loaded so try

to be more mindful and conscious of what

you put in your body and lastly if
