hi guys listen I want to clear up a

confusion that people have especially if

they’re cutting calories but they’re not

losing weight I don’t know if this ever

happened to you but so many people keep

telling me this over and over again I’m

I don’t know reducing my calories I’m

just now ending up with weight loss well

there’s a couple things you need to know

this only works the first time you do it

this only works if you’re 18 years old

or you have a healthy metabolism or your

hormones are really really healthy okay

every time you do it again and again and

again you’re going to slow your

metabolism your body is going to adjust

to the calories that you’re inputting

into it okay so basically dieting

reduces your metabolism it destroys the

setpoint that weight point that your

body gravitates into comfortably some

people it’s 150 some people it’s 180

some people it’s 130 so no matter what

you do whether you’re eating your body

kind of goes into that certain comfort

zone that’s your setpoint the way to

destroy your set point is to diet now we

really have three variables we have your

calories that you’re eating from fats

proteins and carbohydrates you have your

actual metabolism your body efficiency

of burning those calories and then you

have activity level and you have all

different combinations of all three okay

what you need to know is that even now

there are more calories in fat than

carbohydrate the calories in fat and

protein as far as food are not all used

to make fuel a good amount of the

protein fat that you eat a replacing

body tissue okay muscle brain tissue

cell hormones neurotransmitters all that

but a hundred percent of the calories

from carbohydrate are used for fuel so

this idea that I’m going to start

cutting back calories on fat for example

thinking that’s gonna end up weight loss

may not work for you alright so I just

want to clear that up now you could it’s

true that you can start to exercise more

alright then burn off more calories

because everyone knows if you

you just need to cut calories exercise

more and you can lose weight but not

necessarily because the calories that

you’re burning might not be fat calories

so if your goal is just to burn calories

in general you may be burning stored

calories as sugar calories that’s your

glycogen reserve or your actual muscle

protein is that the kind of calories you

want to lose I don’t think so so really

I think your goal is to burn fat right

so to do that what you have to do is you

have to manipulate and understand the

hormone aspects of this if you cut your

carbs you’re going to lower insulin okay

and that will force your body to start

tapping into fat the hormone that

determines whether you burn your stored

sugar or a muscle or actual fat is

insulin so you’ve got to keep in some

low I put several links down below to

get that information of how to do that

but in this video I wanted to kind of

clear up some general concepts on

calories and why lowering your calories

may not work for weight loss especially

if your metabolism is slow all right so

did your comments below tell me what you

think
