today i want to talk about why is it that some people can eat 300 grams of carbs per day
and still be thin so if i put a red square on the screen most people are going to report that
they saw a red square so some people might report seeing a square some people might report seeing
something red but not be able to give the detail of whether it was a square red or a circle blue or
and that's kind of down to attention to detail now there could be people that see that clearly it was
a square but now they're kind of like guessing at what color it was and possibly that could be
explained by them being colorblind now there's other people that would report seeing something
red but then not being able to tell you what shape it was and although they clearly saw it and that
would be down to them being partially blind so they can see images but they can't see it clearly
and then there will be the people that report seeing nothing at all because they're actually
blind now what the heck does all this have to do with whether or not someone eating 300 grams of
carbs will be thin or gain weight hello everyone welcome to Mind Blowing Health and Wellness with
when our mental health and physical health are doing well and working well together we end up
having that overall sense of well-being if this is something that you are working on please subscribe
because i make new videos every week okay so all of that was to explain to you that how our body
is currently functioning is what determines how sugar will affect our body and at the same time
pointing out that sugar is sugar and our body is our body so human bodies function a certain way
sugar functions a certain way in the body so then why am i saying but
dependent on how your so it's because it's complicated we are actually built
to survive so one meal that's not on the plan one meal that's deviating from the norm
one meal that's giving me garbage is not going to kill me unless there's actually poison in it
but hundreds of meals thousands of meals that are off plan will harm us eventually what i'm actually
talking about right now is something that i heard Amy Berger talking about called the personal
fat threshold so i'm going to start there but there's more to this but i'm going to start there
you see our personal fat threshold really just refers to the fact that
each person has a threshold for how much fat their body can actually store on them
some people are not able to store a lot of fat so what does that mean it means that they will put
on a certain amount of fat for storage and then there's no more room when there's no more room
other metabolic things start to happen so whether they become diabetic they get pcos whether
they get heart issues and other physiological repercussions start to show themselves colitis and
start to show themselves inflammation was my story other problems start to show themselves
due to their inability to store more fat at that point in time the question that i have
is as a society are we trying to imply that having pcos heart disease or some other metabolic issue
is more desirable than being overweight because when you actually look at the reaction that
people who are overweight get versus people who are thin get but then you look at the fact that
there are a lot of people who have pcos heart disease and they don't get the same negative
reaction is it because we don't understand that their poor eating habits cause contributed
to those issues we need to think about this right because we fat shame all the time now i
know that we as a society work really hard to lose weight that's probably why some of you are here
but we need to understand that eating a healthy ketogenic lifestyle solves so much more
if we really want to try to understand what our body does with the excessive amount of carbs that
we eat and why one person can be thin and have heart trouble and another person can be thin
and have pcos and another person can be thin and have inflammation issues and another person can
be overweight and we're trying to understand why are all of those different situations happening
consider for a second what's happening with us right now with the shutdown that we're all
living we are ordering more things by mail than i think ever before that means that there are more
packages arriving to our homes which means that we are getting boxes and we are getting envelopes
and we are getting all these things that we weren't necessarily having before because we
would go to the store we would purchase the item and we would only have the packaging
that comes along with the item so now what would happen if violet wants to make sure that the best
possible thing happens with these packages well option number one is i recycle my stuff right so i
just do the normal break the boxes down break the packages down put them in the recycling let the
recycling companies come and take them away that's possibly number one so i might be the person who's
gonna say well of course eventually i'm gonna recycle the box but maybe before recycling it
i'm going to try to reuse it so i'm going to reuse the plastics i'm going to reuse the envelopes i'm
going to lose use the boxes now i might use the boxes to make crafts a good use before
i eventually recycle them what if i decide to use some of those envelopes as napkins and and and and
you know like for cleaning stuff using something for something it's not meant to be used for
it will do uh somewhat of a job is it doing a good job probably not so maybe now i'm having these
boxes in my home and i'm using them for other things but they're kind of cluttery and they're
kind of not practical but so they're kind of in the way but yet they're useful because they are
kind of doing the job eventually when the lockdown is over when people visit my home are they going
to see my home looking beautiful as it used to well no they're going to see you know boxes being
used for things that you typically don't use boxes for and i'll explain but you know does it change
the fact that my home it looks cluttered and messy does it change the fact that it's blocking
the air circulation and potentially harming me anyway because if you don't have good circulation
in your home the air quality diminishes and you can get sick does it change the fact that
boxes and paper collect um bugs and that maybe i'm going to have more bugs in my home which again not
healthy for violet so there are some uses for those boxes that might make sense right if i'm
gonna package something up to ship to someone else if i've got a box that's a good recycling
use and then there are other uses for the boxes that just don't make as much sense we need to
keep in mind that we are all special snowflakes right and the way that my body decides to manage
those carbohydrates that are coming in is going to be specific to violet and the way that your body
decides to manage the carbohydrates that you're taking in will be specific to your you wellness
warrior out there it's going to be specific to you if i understand that then what happens is that i
start to realize that it is not because violet is thin but eating excessive amounts of carbs
that my body is healthy on carbs because what we actually know is that carbohydrates in large
amounts equal toxic to humans what we also know is that we have insulin which is very efficient
at getting those carbohydrates out of our blood what we also know is that when insulin takes
those carbohydrates out of our blood it will put it away as fat however there are other hormones
and other processes in our body that are always at work trying to help in this process of making sure
that there's not too much carbohydrates floating around the blood so if somehow the carbohydrates
end up causing my inflammation and i didn't end up getting fat until many many years later
and then someone else's carbohydrate intake leads to them having pcos but then they don't
get overweight until many many years later and then someone else's carbohydrate situation has
a bid them gaining weight early and then they get issues later if someone is thin and has diabetes
there's so many different avenues that our body can take that still solves the problem of getting
the carbohydrates out of our blood there's so many reasons that these other things are happening
and we need to understand that and they say solve the problem it doesn't solve the problem
the carbohydrates are still there the carbohydrates are affecting us the carbohydrates
are causing problems but our body is taking them and using them and doing the things with them
and trying to keep us as safe as they possibly can what we need to learn to start to do is
unders is ask better questions because am i thin is not the only indicator of health
it's not even an indicator of health because the person who's overweight but has no other metabolic
issues is healthy because that's what your body's supposed to do
if there's extra carbohydrates there your body's supposed to put it away as fat
when we start to have all these other metabolic issues it's because things are going wrong and
that going back to that idea of Amy that your personal fat threshold makes such a huge impact
on what your body is doing and how your body is managing the carbohydrates that are coming in
and if you don't have space to make more fat your body still needs to do something to keep you alive
so are your joints working well are you menstruating normally if you're a lady
right is your heart working well how's your blood pressure
pay attention to how you're feeling are you are you fatigued all the time pay attention to how
you're feeling how's your intestines working all of these things matter all of these things
will impact whether or not you're healthy long-term let's not mistakenly believe that
because i can eat 300 grams of carbs in a day and not gain weight that that automatically equals
violet is healthy because i guarantee you when i was doing it 20 30 right up until
30 38 i was getting away with that getting away with it my joints were killing me was i really
getting away with it but right did it look like i was getting away with it my joints were killing me
