if I don't know the lies that I'm being told about food I can't make changes and
if I keep eating this way I keep putting my body in a bad position where there's
too much inflammation possible heart problems possible diabetes down the road
possible Alzheimers down the road possible PCOS for a lot of women and so
many other issues that we're learning over time are coming from the
carbohydrates that we eat hello everyone welcome to Mind Blowing Health and Wellness with
help you to understand that your physical health and mental health come
together to create an overall sense of well-being if you find these kind of
videos helpful please consider subscribing so there's a term that we've
been talking about it called insulin resistance or hyperinsulinemia if you're
going to go the medical route so this idea that our body when it has too much
insulin in it for too long a period of time becomes insensitive so non
responsive to insulin so I came up with an analogy that I hope will help
everyone so we already know that our body is able to have 5 grams of carbs in
it at any particular point in time so we like homeostasis like to be stable and
so we're going to imagine for a moment that our body has filters to keep till
to filter out the sugar and keep us at 5 grams the average person eats somewhere
between 200 and 300 grams of carbs per day so I'm going to stay on the little
man just to make this easier and say 200 grams a day so let's say that I eat 200
grams of carbs per day my body is working hard to keep me at 5 so in
essence what you would see is that because I'm at 5 right now then I would
have 20 filters for example in my body that could filter out the carbohydrates
so that I stay at 5 so each filter filtering 10 right over time as a filter
filters it gets a little dirty and clogged and so at some point you would
have to change the filter or clean the filter so as we go through our day we're
eating daily daily eating and our body's filtering filtering filtering and let's
say after one year the there's our club our body doesn't have
chance to clean up so what it will do is it will add more filters so we'll go
through another year so now we have some nice fresh clean filters maybe one or
two and then we have the old ones that are still functioning filter filter
filter and the next year again there'd be more clogged egde so
and as we go forward in life we just keep adding more filters until our body
reaches a saturation point there's no more space to put any more filters and
at that point you become diabetic interesting easy analogy to think about
there's only so much space in my body to put so many filters then I'm diabetic
but we need to add to this story though is that all the while that I'm doing
this I'm unaware that I'm clogging my filters I'm unaware that at some point I
won't have any space left to store right if you think about it most people
believe that diabetes is hereditary is genetic it's it's it's something that if
my mother had it I absolutely have a like higher chance of having and so
forth and although it's true that if my mother had it chances are I'm gonna have
it it's not because it's genetic it's because if my mother had it well she's
one taught me how to eat and so I'm gonna teach my daughter how to eat and
we're all eating these traditional foods and I'm from the Caribbean so that's a
bunch of rice and peas and potatoes and carrots and actually I'm getting
diabetes because I eat a bunch of carbs if you think about the desserts of a
Caribbean household sugar cake pone sweet bread I mean again hi-hi carp
mango like really high carb foods part of the problem that we mistake as a as a
hereditary thing is that we don't recognize that we kind of inherit the
way that we eat so it's not genetically inherited but it's inherited through
teaching so because carbohydrates are addictive and I start to have a dopamine
rush when I eat them even though I'm not hungry I'm chasing food so and what I
mean when I say I'm not hungry cuz physiologically I feel hungry but
you know there's this myth that says that you
have to eat three meals a day and of course the food companies want to eat
three meals a day because that means they sell more food but the question I
have for you is is it true that you have to eat three meals today is that for
your health to eat three meals a day and so what's interesting is that if you eat
a lot of carbohydrates absolutely you will eat three meals a day because
carbohydrates are addictive when I eat them I get a dopamine rush I get an
endorphin rush my body feels good I get a sense of like wow happening and then
my filters filter as much of that carbo's heart is out of my system as
possible because I can only have five grams of carbs in me at any particular
point in time the average chocolate bar has 30 what the average granola bar has
15 ish so you can your body is like working like crazy to put it away put it
away put it away and so what happens is that you go through this and then you go
in and down and then your body wants that feeling again so what does it do it
activates your hunger hormones do you actually feel hungry yeah are you hungry
no so when I say are you hungry I'm hungry when my body needs energy so am I
getting a signal that I should eat yes but does my body actually need energy
that's the part that becomes so frustrating the average well weighted
person so typical normal weight you are doing perfect on the the doctor's chart
has enough carbohydrates in their system for a day but enough fat in their system
so on their body there have enough fat to last months so an overweight person
has even more than months worth of so maybe even up to year or so of energy on
their body that they could live off of just need to drink water so this idea
that you have to eat every three meals a day every day it's not true even worse
that we have to have three meals a day and three snacks oh my god so not true
I need you guys to understand that if we don't challenge the things that the food
companies are telling us if we don't challenge the things that don't make
sense then we will keep making mistakes with our help
we'll keep eating inappropriately now the part that's really frustrating is
that because we don't label rice bread pasta carrots potatoes apples as sugar
we actually end up over the course of our life eating more and more and more
and more carbs on a daily basis all because we don't label them as sugar now
we know that they taste sweet like for example apples do our bananas
do but when we're talking about rice we don't taste the sweetness and we don't
label it as sweet even though in our body the sugar behaves the same way how
that causes us to eventually eat more carbs is that I don't mean thing I was
just talking about so I eat some carbs my body puts it away and then it pushes
me to get more carbs and if I allow that cycle to keep happening over time the
timeframe between eating carbs gets smaller and smaller how do you think for
a moment for those of you who are watching this video who either have ever
known anyone with an apple problem or if you've ever had yourself an alcohol
problem when you first start drinking alcohol you were drinking some alcohol
and then it probably was months before you had alcohol again and then it became
month before you had alcohol again and then it became weeks before you and then
it became days and then it became until it was hours but people who don't have a
problem with alcohol can go months even years without having a drink because
whatever but when you have a resistance to the alcohol and you're also addicted
dopamine rush your body's constantly pushing you to have it because it wants
to experience that rush and yet at the same time your body's getting it out of
your system so fast as possible because it's dangerous and now you're on the
cycle carbohydrates same thing any substance that's not good for our body
our body tries to shuttle out as fast as possible we tell ourselves the lie that
breakfast is the most important meal of the day and it must happen in the
morning and you know what maybe I could go there with you there breakfast is the
most important meal of the day I might be able to say yes okay I agree with
but then the only reason that I would agree with the idea that breakfast is
the most important meal of the day is because I feel that breakfast sets the
tone for everything else you're going to eat if breakfast is the most important
meal of the day and I eat carbohydrates in my breakfast and if that's the main
thing my breakfast is think cereal for breakfast
think toast for breakfast think yogurt and and fruit for breakfast then what
happens is that I get that sugar rush first thing in the morning and for the
rest of the day I am chasing carbohydrates but if my breakfast is
something that's low carb so some kind of meat or cheese or healthy fats type
of breakfast so maybe some eggs bacon or ham or cheese and ham or write some
olives and some cheese if my breakfast is something that is low in
carbohydrates then that sets the tone for us my day and now I'm not chasing
carbs all day so yes I can agree that breakfast is the most important meal of
the day and then I'm gonna go to the second part which is that you have to
have it in the morning well guess what if you're having three meals a day
chances are very good you're gonna have your breakfast in the morning
by allowing yourself to eat 20 grams of carbs or less a day automatically most
people fall into it two meals a day situation why they're just not hungry
why they're not chasing carbohydrates why because if you don't eat
carbohydrates you don't chase them the reason that most of the people watching
this video don't chase cocaine is because most of you have never tried
cocaine but a Navy who have chased cocaine you know is because you tried
the cocaine we need to be honest and realistic with ourselves if we allow an
addictive substance into our lives we will chase it so by taking your grams of
carbs down to 20 or less chances are very good you fall into a two meals a
day situation if you allow those two meals a day to be close to each other so
rather than during breakfast dinner if I allow myself to do lunch dinner the
positive there is that I have the entire oven
all the way to the next day at lunchtime where I'm actually allowing my body to
clean itself up and if I can get the closer I can get my lunch and dinner to
each other the more time I have to clean up this is what you hear people talking
about as a compressed feeding window right so if I can get my feeding window
down to four hours I can get it down to two hours or in my case if I can just do
the one meal which is what I do then all the rest of the 23 hours my body is less
than 23 because you have the processing time so all the rest of the 20 the 18
ish hours my body is doing cleanup it is a falsity that you need to drink
something or eat something to stimulate detox your body knows how to clean up
even better once you get used to letting your body clean up this way the other
thing you can do is extend the time that you're fasting for rather than just
doing a one meal a day situation which is more about time restricted eating if
you allow yourself to go 36 hours 48 hours now you're fasting and again the
more time that you give yourself to detox the cleaner your body will get the
more chance that your insulin so your hyperinsulinemia will resolve itself if
you want to solve your hyperinsulinemia allowing yourself to fast is probably
one of the better ways that you can do it because honestly you know how to
clean up you I know how to clean up me right if I don't know the lies that I'm
being told about food I can't make changes if I don't know that these isms
about how we should eat are untrue then I'll keep eating this way and if I keep
eating this way I keep putting my body in a bad position where there's too much
inflammation possible heart problems possible diabetes down the road possible
Alzheimer's down the road possible PCOS for a lot of women that's what they have
and it's because of too many carbohydrates and so many other issues
that we're learning over time are coming from the carbohydrates that we eat and
carbohydrates are not necessary your body makes all that you need remember
the more carbs you eat the more your body needs to clean up the carbs
and the more your body's trying to clean up the carbs the more saturated it
becomes and the more saturated it becomes the closer and closer you get to
hyperinsulinemia and then the closer and closer you get to diabetes or Alzheimers
or heart issues or strokes or write to poor health inflammation to poor health
allow your body to clean up by keeping your carbohydrates low allow your body
to clean up by allowing it to withdraw some fat from the bank that we carry
around all the time allow your body to clean up by giving yourself periods of
time where you're not eating so your body can go in and engage at Apogee and
apoptosis and all the other cellular functions that it does to clean up the
system achu wellness warrior prioritizes health
