you know there’s nothing worse than

having someone give you the wrong

diagnosis they’ll say

you have a slow metabolism right because

you can’t lose weight fast

so when you’re given this false

diagnosis

then you’re very susceptible to doing

the wrong thing because then you’re

going to be focused on trying to find

some thing to boost your metabolism well

that doesn’t work in reality the problem

is not a slow

metabolism let me explain so what is

metabolism you have all these chemical

reactions going in your body whether

you’re breaking down food into energy or

building things back up into body tissue

like repairing things like maintaining

temperature and eliminating waste all

that is part of metabolism some people

tell you to create a negative caloric

condition

where you’re consuming less calories

than you’re eating okay eat less and

then you need to exercise more and then

after about six months of doing this you

haven’t really lost a pound they

basically heat up these calories and

burn them okay in a lab to determine

how much energy is in a carbohydrate fat

and protein but in the body in a

biological system

things work completely different you

have a lot more complexities going on

number one you have hormones and that’s

really the missing factor is the hormone

influence over

your specific

calories

so hormones are basically the

communications in your body and the very

important hormone that relates to

whether you burn fat or store fat is

insulin so the insulin message is store

fat if insulin goes up you store fat if

insulin goes down it’s a different

message it’s burn fat

so in reality if insulin is too high

that is going to mimic a slow metabolism

because as soon as you lower it you

start to burn fat but if that hormone is

just a little too high

not only will you not be able to burn

fat but the body’s going to enhance the

storage of calories into fat you see

this video is all about

focusing in on the real problem so then

you can have an actual solution to fix

it if we know what triggers insulin and

how to inhibit it then you will know how

to lose weight and you’re about to find

out why that is so different than

thinking you have a slow metabolism and

you need to speed up your metabolism it

just actually will make things worse

whether you’re taking like caffeine or

energy boosters or certain herbs that

stimulate your metabolism they end up

burning out your metabolism so before i

get into the triggers let me just

explain what happens

when this hormone insulin goes up you’re

going to experience several symptoms

okay you’re gonna find that you’re

hungry more often you’re gonna crave

carbohydrates you’re gonna have frequent

urination especially at night

you’re gonna have a tendency to have

more belly fat you’re gonna have fatigue

you’re gonna have cognitive issues

because you’re going to have brain fog

you’re not going to be able to focus as

well

your mood is going to be affected you

might feel more grouchy you might have

more anxiety and you’re definitely going

to have more liver fat and that’s really

what’s creating a spill off into your

abdominal area where you have belly fat

you’re also going to notice that your

set point okay that weight

that you just can’t get below is going

to be really

stuck if not raised

so

in other words let’s say you you do all

these different methods of trying to

lose weight and you just can’t seem to

get below 160 or 155 you’re just stuck

there

well that is called a set point and

insulin is really behind the set point

the inability

to continue to lose weight and there’s

one more really interesting symptom

related to this if your insulin is too

high

you will start or your liver will start

making extra sugar

not from sugar from your diet but from

other things like your own fat and

protein that’s called gluconeogenesis

gluco meaning sugar neo meaning new

genesis meaning the creation of and

you’re making new sugars because of a

very interesting situation where your

insulin has been chronically high for so

long

you develop this other condition called

insulin resistance

which means your body has to compensate

and make more insulin to create the same

effect so you have certain parts of your

body where you’re expressing symptoms of

too much insulin yet other parts of your

body where you’re experiencing too

little insulin and one common thing that

you see especially with diabetics that

have insulin resistance which they

always do

is this extra production of sugar from

your liver and you usually see it when a

person comes off the sugar

and then they

have high sugars especially in the

morning and they’re like where this

coming from well it’s coming from this

insulin resistance situation

all right so now let’s talk about two

different things we’ll talk about what

triggers insulin and what inhibits

insulin if you understand both sides of

the coin then you

personally can control your own weight

okay so

what triggers insulin well it’s carbs

okay carbs and definitely sugar okay

what inhibits insulin

low carbs that’s the ketogenic diet all

right another big trigger to insulin is

frequent eating okay like snacking and

grazing there’s nothing

more powerful to trigger insulin and

stop you losing weight then the small

snacks through the day because you’re

constantly triggering insulin all day

long and it’s this chronic sustained

high insulin that puts you in a

situation where you’re just not going to

lose weight no matter what so that means

one of the things that inhibit insulin

is fasting okay intermittent fasting

this is why we recommend keto

intermittent fasting and that is so

powerful to address

what you think might be a slow

metabolism in reality it’s just an

insulin problem another thing that will

trigger insulin is excessive amounts of

protein especially if it’s low

fat or no fat protein as in

whey protein powder that on the insulin

index is pretty darn

high now of course that doesn’t compare

to eating sugar but it’s still a factor

that could be a problem all right now on

the inhibiting side okay what will keep

insulin low

and

make insulin more

sensitive and less resistance is

exercise specifically resistance

training okay working your whole body at

a certain volume and in certain uh

intensity

uh that’s very very beneficial for

insulin resistance

and there’s two other things

that will not trigger insulin okay one

is fiber

natural fiber from things like

vegetables now i’m not talking about the

fake fibers

like fiber yum for example which is a

synthetic fiber which will definitely

increase

your insulin i’m talking about the

natural fiber from vegetables not the

fiber from grains because grains

comes with too many carbs but actual

really healthy type natural fiber

and then we have

fat okay

fat apparently does not trigger insulin

and this is very

surprising to people because they’ve

been taught that you need to avoid fat

with a slow metabolism well guess what

they didn’t really have a slow

metabolism in the first place they had

too much insulin and fat is one of the

things that doesn’t trigger insulin

interesting now as far as eating fat

goes um as long as you keep your carbs

low you’re going to be totally fine

that’s why the ketogenic diet has is a

good percentage of fat because we keep

our carbs really really low and we keep

moderate amount of protein all right

another trigger

for this insulin

is stress okay when the stress goes up

the cortisol goes up

another name for cortisol is

glucocorticoids

because it’s a hormone that also

controls glucose to a certain degree and

it will turn

your proteins even your body tissue

into glucose one of the side effects of

high levels of sustained cortisol output

is diabetes because you’re changing the

protein into glucose and it’s not coming

from the dietary sugars it’s coming from

stress so stress can make you fat but it

ultimately comes back to the insulin

because the cortisol

is raising the insulin it’s not the

cortisol directly it’s it’s an indirect

effect

now let’s flip over to the inhibitor

side okay there’s several things that

can inhibit insulin and make insulin

more sensitive and less resistant that

would be potassium

vitamin b1

and vitamin d okay all three of those

can greatly help you lower

this insulin resistance situation now

another thing that can make insulin more

sensitive is apple cider vinegar okay

take a tablespoon put some water drink

that that will really help your blood

sugars and then when you actually end up

getting into fat burning

that’s called ketosis and ketosis by

itself can increase insulin sensitivity

and then there’s three last things that

you have to be aware of if you want to

keep insulin lower because these three

things will trigger

insulin number one inflammation okay

inflammation that comes from omega-6

fatty acids like the so-called vegetable

oils the corn oil the soy oil the canola

those are very inflammatory then you

also have

belly fat in general visceral fat

actually increases inflammation and that

alone could actually increase insulin

msg monosodium glutamate has the

potential to increase insulin it’s in a

lot of foods especially in restaurant

foods

and

a lack of sleep can also mess up your

blood sugars and increase insulin this

is why people lose more weight if they

have a good night rest all right now you

have the secret

to bust through

this plateau

and overcome

what you thought was a metabolism

problem in reality it was really an

insulin

problem and on that note if you want

more information about insulin

resistance i put up this video right

here check it out
