so today we’re going to talk about the benefits of  being on a high fat diet one thing to realize is  

that when you’re fasting you are on a very high  fat diet because your body is breaking down the  

adipose tissue and turning it into fatty acids  and then ketones so think about all the benefits  

of fasting so initially when you fast you’re  going to quickly burn off your stored glycogen  

in your liver when that’s gone because you don’t  have a lot of that you’re gonna then transition  

right in to burning your fat and the majority of  fuel from your fat cell is gonna be fatty acid  

with about 40 being ketones and of course all  the things i’m talking about will only exist  

if you’re also on a low carb diet because you  never want to do high carb high fat that’s  

actually worse than being in a high carbohydrate  low fat diet fyi because when you add either  

protein to carbs or fat to carbs you really create  more damage and i’ve done all the videos on that  

topic but i’m not going to get sidetracked  on that yet so when you increase more fat  

in your diet and you keep your carbs low you’re  going to stimulate more bile production in more  

bile release so right there that’s going to help  you prevent gall stones simply because gallstones  

are a deficiency of bile all right number two  you’re going to provide for the raw material  

of fat soluble vitamins vitamin a d e k 1 and k 2.  you also provide for the omega-3 fatty acids dha  

and epa which are very very important that’s  why they call them essential fatty acids  

now just as a side note when you consume fiber  your microbes in the large colon will ferment  

this fiber into a type of fat that’s very healthy  for you it’s called short chain fatty acids  

and the name of one of them is called butyrate  and the benefit of butyrate is anti-cancer  

it can help you with blood sugars and insulin  resistance it can also feed your colon cells  

and there’s quite a few other benefits all  right number four medium chain triglycerides  

medium chain triglycerides is a type of fat that  can greatly help increase your energy because  

it’s converted into ketones and it doesn’t  need help from your gallbladder and the bile  

it doesn’t need help from your pancreas and the  pancreatic enzymes it quickly turns into ketones  

and it can give you energy and not only that it  can feed the brain tissue and the heart tissue  

despite even having damage in those two areas  of your body all right number five dietary fat  

in general will help increase your ability to  make ketones ketones are made from your liver  

ketones are the preferred fuel of the brain  and your heart which i just kind of mentioned  

ketones compared to glucose will increase your  oxygen and also decrease your co2 so it provides a  

more efficient fuel there’s also less free radical  damage from running your body on ketones than  

there is from glucose glucose is very oxidizing  it’s very damaging to your tissues this is why a  

diabetic for example has massive problems to the  eye the heart the kidney and the nervous system  

and lastly one really good benefit from consuming  more fat is it gives you the raw material  

for supplying necessary and essential  compounds for all of your cell membranes  

also many of your hormones including cortisol  testosterone estrogen need fat as its precursor  

you also need fat to help you make vitamin d as  well as the production of bile the production  

of bile and the production of vitamin d becomes a  problem when you’re on a low-fat diet all right so  

i pretty much talked about the good things about  being on a high-fat diet now let’s talk about  

the myths that are associated with the high fat  diet and i put those up right here check them out
