all right i have another question for you  

does diet regulate your sleep or does sleep  regulate your diet let’s first take a look at diet  

okay there is a very interesting study i’ll put  the link down below that compares going on a high  

carb low fat diet versus going on a low carb high  fat diet that’s called the ketogenic diet and this  

is what they found the group that was on a low  carb high fat diet had a significant increase  

in n rem sleep what does n rem mean  that is non-rem sleep that is the deep  

delta wave sleep that’s the type of sleep where  you burn most of your fat it’s a type of sleep  

that you wake up and you feel rejuvenated  physically now with a high carb low fat diet  

you’re going to be more deficient in zinc and if  you haven’t seen my recent video on zinc and sleep  

i put that down below very interesting because  zinc can greatly influence certain parts of  

the brain that control sleep and so if you have a  sleeping problem taking zinc before you go to bed  

very very very good idea and so with a  low carb high fat diet you’re not going  

to be as deficient in zinc and that’s going  to help you sleep as well as decrease your  

hunger but with a high carb low fat diet you’re  going to be hungry all the time all right so now  

let’s ship down to sleep if you have poor  sleep both in quality and quantity you will  

definitely notice an increase in the desire to  eat that means if you don’t sleep you’re going  

to be hungrier so repeat after me poor sleep  equals more hunger there’s also one study on  

poor rem sleep that usually happens in the second  half of the night where there’s superficial sleep  

what happens when you have poor rem sleep is  you increase the absorption of glucose which is  

going to spike your blood sugars which is going to  affect your insulin and that’s going to make you  

hungry too and not to mention when you’re not  sleeping well your cortisol is going to go up  

and cortisol will release more glucose it’ll  increase your blood sugars increase insulin  

and you’re going to have a greater appetite  and with higher levels of insulin they’re  

going to have a heck of a time trying to lose  weight you know i was in practice for 30 years  

and it was a very very good experience working  one-on-one with close to 40 000 different people  

over the 30 years and with that experience you  see every possible scenario especially with people  

struggling with weight when they were focusing  on exercising and trying to eat less calories it  

wasn’t until they got the high quality sleep that  helped them lose weight but when you put people  

on the ketogenic diet that right there calms  the sympathetic nervous system down it helps  

lower cortisol it helps increases their sleep it  helps them lose more weight they’re more satisfied  

so it’s much easier to lose weight if you’re on  the ketogenic diet if you’re new to my channel  

i put the link down below of exactly how to  do that so if you’re struggling with weight  

don’t forget about getting better sleep and also  i have several recent videos that talk about sleep  

check them out i put the links down below hey  before you go if you’re benefiting from any of my  

content i would love to hear about your success  story please share it in the link down below
