you're getting heavier every year despite eating a healthy low-fat diet like everybody else what
are you doing wrong in fact eating like everyone else is part of the problem the standard diet
has skyrocketed north Americans to be heavier than they've ever been before back in 1960 31.5 percent
of the population was overweight 13.4 percent were considered obese while only 0.9 percent of the
population was extremely obese let's compare those numbers to 2010 where 32.7 percent of people were
now considered overweight 36.1 percent obese while 6.6 were now extremely obese although many will
try to tell you that the answer to this problem is exercise i want to show you that the true answer
is to change our diet we need to eat a diet that provides our body what it needs to build
and repair efficiently the modern diet is quite different than what was eaten prior to the 1900s
our ancestors ate a diet that prioritize protein and fat which is what our body
really needs in order to build itself and repair itself properly although we ate plants
the vegetation on our plate was not the main portion of the meal it was a side dish
in fact our diet focused on the protein but but how did we get here and in order to really
understand that we need to look at the decade that they called the roaring 20s
that was the 1920s so between the two world wars and just before the great depression
North America the United States in particular was in a time of prosperity everything was improving
financially people were doing well there was a focus on enjoying life and that translated into
extravagant meals our knowledge of bottling foods to preserve them which started back in 1809
improved over the course of years and eventually we came up with other methods to make foods more
shelf-stable which had a huge impact on the types of foods that Americans were having on their plate
on a regular basis these were not the foods that our great great great grandparents were eating
in those roaring twenties with the advent of refrigeration
and our increased wealth we were eating things like oysters Rockefeller icebox cakes
chocolate bars and finger sandwiches pineapple upside down cake not only were these foods
high in fat they were also high in carbohydrate and the icebox cakes chocolate bars bread
and other shelf-stable foods started to represent Americans Canadians acceptance
of processed foods in our daily diet but worse it normalize these foods as equivalent
to healthy whole foods your diet is making you fat and sick we are living in amazing times
we have medical advancements that allow us to combat most ailments and live well into our 90s
and we use that medical system the research shows that 66 percent of adults in the united states
take a prescription medication we are living longer but in bodies that are weak and prone
to disease in the 1960s 50 percent of the American population was living at a healthy weight by 2010
unfortunately 24.5 of Americans were living at a healthy weight the more processed foods we
add to our lives the more sugar we allow in our diets the more we focus on fun foods the heavier
we are getting it is time to change your diet and reclaim your health but what diet should you
choose there's a lot of evidence that shows that simply removing processed foods from your diet
will dramatically improve your health to do this you would need to remove pasta bread cookies
all canned foods cereals all box foods basically everything on the interior aisles
of the grocery store that honestly seems like an impossible task to most people and that's
precisely why it's not presented as an option but what happens if you actually do it there's more at
stake than being overweight as i mentioned before processed foods are high in sugar sugar has a very
damaging impact on the body i know that you know someone with diabetes what you may not know is
that every overweight person is insulin resistant the stage just before diabetes are you overweight
if so insulin resistant and as if that wasn't scary enough many adults don't become overweight
the damage that's being done by the sugar causes joint pain PCOS inflammation of the digestive
tract skin conditions and many other health issues that are a direct result of over eating sugar
people who stop eating processed foods and excessive amounts of sugar solve their joint
pain solve their inflammation issues experience clearer thought increase their energy and have
significant weight loss i know that that seems like a bold claim to make when i first heard
it i couldn't believe that eating pasta was causing the immense amount of pain in my hip
that was stopping me from doing my sports and causing me to limp every single day but after a
month and a half of research and ever increasing pain i started to realize how much sugar was in
those processed foods i was eating and that i needed to get them out of my diet unfortunately
at that time there was not a lot of information on how to remove these things out of my diet what
was i going to eat so i had to do more research and that's how i learned about the keto diet
most people talk about the amazing weight loss that you get from a keto diet but i'm here today
to tell you about how life-saving keto was for me the inflammation in my hip was gone within three
months but more importantly the inflammation in my knees the inflammation in my back the inflammation
in my elbow the inflammation in my neck that i had been living with for years the inflammation
in my knee started when i was in my 20s that's 23 years 24 years of pain gone if i had known earlier
i'm not special you can do what i did stop eating processed foods and you will improve your life
this video right here is going to help you understand how to cut down on those
processed foods i can't wait to talk to you again next Thursday until then
prioritize health over the taste of food
