1 00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:05,129 when you eat your body wants to store 2 00:00:02,370 --> 00:00:06,960 food energy because food Energy's coming 3 00:00:05,129 --> 00:00:09,689 in you should store it for a time that 4 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:13,230 you don't have it and when you are not 5 00:00:09,689 --> 00:00:15,029 eating then insulin falls and you simply 6 00:00:13,230 --> 00:00:16,859 take that food energy that you store it 7 00:00:15,029 --> 00:00:18,570 and you burn it and that's why you don't 8 00:00:16,859 --> 00:00:20,039 die in your sleep like every single 9 00:00:18,570 --> 00:00:22,560 night you don't have to eat muffins 10 00:00:20,039 --> 00:00:25,679 every two hours to survive like it's 11 00:00:22,559 --> 00:00:28,500 okay so if you think about it now we're 12 00:00:25,679 --> 00:00:30,960 eating sort of ten times a day instead 13 00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:34,670 of three times a day so 10 times a day 14 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:37,649 we're telling our bodies to store fat 15 00:00:34,670 --> 00:00:39,210 it's like store fast or fast or fast or 16 00:00:37,649 --> 00:00:41,549 fat and that's like I wonder why I'm so 17 00:00:39,210 --> 00:00:44,160 fat it's like because you keep telling 18 00:00:41,549 --> 00:00:46,649 your body do that and if you want to 19 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:48,029 burn fat then you gotta tell it to stop 20 00:00:46,649 --> 00:00:49,920 burning fat and again it's a hormonal 21 00:00:48,030 --> 00:00:51,929 signal it's not a caloric signal it's a 22 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:54,030 hormonal signal you got to let that 23 00:00:51,929 --> 00:00:56,460 insulin fall because it's when the 24 00:00:54,030 --> 00:00:58,230 enzyme fall that the body's gonna start 25 00:00:56,460 --> 00:01:00,600 burning the glycogen I'm gonna start 26 00:00:58,229 --> 00:01:03,358 burning the body fat if you keep your 27 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:05,640 insulin high then you'll never do it 28 00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:07,170 because insulin is the signal to to go 29 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,209 high and this is the promo type-2 30 00:01:07,170 --> 00:01:11,430 diabetes because you get this insulin 31 00:01:09,209 --> 00:01:13,408 resistance which means too high insulin 32 00:01:11,430 --> 00:01:15,810 all the time so it gets harder and 33 00:01:13,409 --> 00:01:19,350 harder to lose weight as it goes so then 34 00:01:15,810 --> 00:01:20,820 as you get in sort of like 40 years in 35 00:01:19,349 --> 00:01:22,829 if you're 60 years old and you've been 36 00:01:20,819 --> 00:01:24,179 gaining weight since age 20 for example 37 00:01:22,829 --> 00:01:25,859 you have all the senses and resistance 38 00:01:24,180 --> 00:01:28,110 it keeps it high even though your diet 39 00:01:25,859 --> 00:01:30,118 may be good you have to you have to 40 00:01:28,109 --> 00:01:31,590 fight all those years of insulin 41 00:01:30,118 --> 00:01:33,629 resistance and that's why I also say 42 00:01:31,590 --> 00:01:36,329 that that obesity is really a 43 00:01:33,629 --> 00:01:38,129 time-dependent phenomenon that is the 44 00:01:36,328 --> 00:01:41,699 longer you have it the harder it is 45 00:01:38,129 --> 00:01:44,819 which the Clarke theory completely sort 46 00:01:41,700 --> 00:01:46,710 of ignores that is to say if you gain 10 47 00:01:44,819 --> 00:01:49,529 pounds from where you are right now you 48 00:01:46,709 --> 00:01:52,949 could lose that pretty easily yeah but 49 00:01:49,530 --> 00:01:55,079 if somebody is 65 it's pretty hard to 50 00:01:52,950 --> 00:01:57,478 lose that 10 pounds because they've 51 00:01:55,078 --> 00:01:59,968 always had it and it's this sort of 52 00:01:57,478 --> 00:02:01,739 chronic resetting upwards of this body 53 00:01:59,968 --> 00:02:04,769 set weight that's the problem 54 00:02:01,739 --> 00:02:04,769 [Music] 55 00:02:08,780 --> 00:02:13,229 hey my friend it's Mike muscle here 56 00:02:11,219 --> 00:02:15,359 thanks so much for showing up and tuning 57 00:02:13,229 --> 00:02:17,459 into yet another video this episode is 58 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,690 proudly sponsored by salami fix one of 59 00:02:17,459 --> 00:02:21,060 the manufacturers of the world's only 60 00:02:18,689 --> 00:02:22,800 hypoallergenic mal tape that will get 61 00:02:21,060 --> 00:02:24,780 you sleeping like a baby again I mean 62 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,270 wearing this shirt right now to help 63 00:02:24,780 --> 00:02:28,620 promote the power of nose breathing and 64 00:02:27,270 --> 00:02:29,880 really discourage mouth breathing while 65 00:02:28,620 --> 00:02:31,319 you're sleeping because if you're 66 00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:33,000 sitting there with your mouth wide open 67 00:02:31,319 --> 00:02:35,069 while you're sleeping well guess what 68 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,080 you're not going to achieve those deep 69 00:02:35,069 --> 00:02:38,699 phases of restorative sleep that are 70 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,550 going to help you burn fat better become 71 00:02:38,699 --> 00:02:42,569 better fat adapted and if you are 72 00:02:41,550 --> 00:02:43,770 breathing through your mouth while 73 00:02:42,569 --> 00:02:46,259 you're sleeping you're probably going to 74 00:02:43,770 --> 00:02:47,700 be activating cortisol and free radical 75 00:02:46,259 --> 00:02:49,739 stressors within your body so that's 76 00:02:47,699 --> 00:02:51,539 where mouth taping can come in and what 77 00:02:49,739 --> 00:02:53,580 makes Sami fix a really unique product 78 00:02:51,539 --> 00:02:55,799 is it's made of hypoallergenic mouth 79 00:02:53,580 --> 00:02:57,360 tape that was studied at Harvard and the 80 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,130 adhesive does not cause any irritation 81 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,810 to your lips and it has a small little 82 00:02:59,129 --> 00:03:02,579 Pierce in there so you can speech or 83 00:03:00,810 --> 00:03:04,259 your partner or your spouse your 84 00:03:02,580 --> 00:03:06,120 children and your loved ones so please 85 00:03:04,259 --> 00:03:07,679 help support the show and get your your 86 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,080 sleep on track by going to some knee 87 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:13,469 fixed comm again thats omni fixed comm 88 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:15,269 som ni fi x.com dr. funk thanks so much 89 00:03:13,469 --> 00:03:17,400 for coming back on it's great to be with 90 00:03:15,269 --> 00:03:19,709 you again great to be here thanks having 91 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:22,049 me yeah so that last interview we did it 92 00:03:19,709 --> 00:03:24,840 was let's see not Memorial Day I'm 93 00:03:22,049 --> 00:03:27,989 thinking of membranes day of 2016 94 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:29,509 oh sure you're wearing your lapel people 95 00:03:27,989 --> 00:03:32,549 we're asking about that in that video 96 00:03:29,509 --> 00:03:33,689 remember that yeah it's like early 97 00:03:32,549 --> 00:03:36,060 November there's a whole week 98 00:03:33,689 --> 00:03:37,949 remembrance week oh yeah yeah yeah papi 99 00:03:36,060 --> 00:03:39,360 the punk people are asking like what's 100 00:03:37,949 --> 00:03:41,458 up with that flower and so we didn't 101 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,769 talk about that so anyway ah yeah okay 102 00:03:41,459 --> 00:03:44,759 almost eighteen months ago and I was 103 00:03:43,769 --> 00:03:46,260 looking through the comments or 104 00:03:44,759 --> 00:03:47,849 thousands of comments cuz there's such 105 00:03:46,259 --> 00:03:49,590 great content that you shared and people 106 00:03:47,849 --> 00:03:51,209 were curious or they one of the top 107 00:03:49,590 --> 00:03:53,729 comments that would keep coming up was 108 00:03:51,209 --> 00:03:55,680 did this doctor really just say that the 109 00:03:53,729 --> 00:03:57,359 calories in calories out model does not 110 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,650 govern whether someone loses weight or 111 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,690 gains weight and so we're talking 112 00:03:58,650 --> 00:04:02,610 offline how there's really no receptors 113 00:04:00,689 --> 00:04:04,139 for calories in their body yeah and this 114 00:04:02,610 --> 00:04:05,970 is the thing that's very strange routine 115 00:04:04,139 --> 00:04:07,949 so you take a concept from physics so 116 00:04:05,969 --> 00:04:09,569 what calories is is that they take a 117 00:04:07,949 --> 00:04:11,310 piece of steak or whatever and they 118 00:04:09,569 --> 00:04:13,439 basically burn it and see how much 119 00:04:11,310 --> 00:04:15,329 energy it is so you can determine how 120 00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:17,219 many calories are in a steak and a piece 121 00:04:15,329 --> 00:04:18,720 of broccoli or a piece of wood for that 122 00:04:17,220 --> 00:04:20,190 matter so you just burn it and see how 123 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,430 much physical energy there 124 00:04:20,189 --> 00:04:25,199 so the body has no receptors it doesn't 125 00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:26,819 measure calories it has no idea how many 126 00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:29,909 calories you eat so if you eat a piece 127 00:04:26,819 --> 00:04:31,800 of wood it might have 10,000 calories 128 00:04:29,910 --> 00:04:33,420 but you're not gonna absorb any of it 129 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,740 because it goes straight through you if 130 00:04:33,420 --> 00:04:37,170 you eat steak 131 00:04:34,740 --> 00:04:39,870 if you it's it's going to have a certain 132 00:04:37,170 --> 00:04:41,520 number of calories if you if you drink 133 00:04:39,870 --> 00:04:42,930 Cola it's gonna have a certain number of 134 00:04:41,519 --> 00:04:44,789 calories if you don't drink diet cola 135 00:04:42,930 --> 00:04:46,259 it's gonna have zero calories but the 136 00:04:44,790 --> 00:04:49,110 body doesn't actually know that because 137 00:04:46,259 --> 00:04:51,209 it has no way of measuring it so it has 138 00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:52,560 no way of responding to it so why would 139 00:04:51,209 --> 00:04:54,269 we think that this is a sort of an 140 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,970 important concept and the only reason we 141 00:04:54,269 --> 00:04:59,449 think that is because we've sort of been 142 00:04:56,970 --> 00:05:01,820 ingrained into us but it's a it's a 143 00:04:59,449 --> 00:05:05,310 concept of physics and it's not a 144 00:05:01,819 --> 00:05:08,099 physiologic concept if you put a hundred 145 00:05:05,310 --> 00:05:10,560 calories of sugar in your mouth versus a 146 00:05:08,100 --> 00:05:12,780 hundred calories of olive oil the 147 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,759 physiologic response is completely and 148 00:05:12,779 --> 00:05:17,009 utterly different so you put that oil 149 00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:19,349 into your mouth and drink it down for 150 00:05:17,009 --> 00:05:21,209 example and there's no insulin response 151 00:05:19,350 --> 00:05:23,340 for example you eat a brownie which is 152 00:05:21,209 --> 00:05:26,659 the same number of calories and insulin 153 00:05:23,339 --> 00:05:28,649 spikes way up so the body responds to 154 00:05:26,660 --> 00:05:30,780 hormones I mean everything runs on 155 00:05:28,649 --> 00:05:32,699 hormones thyroid hormone insulin all 156 00:05:30,779 --> 00:05:35,729 these different hormones and that's how 157 00:05:32,699 --> 00:05:38,550 it knows what to do so when it senses 158 00:05:35,730 --> 00:05:40,650 that you're taking in carbohydrates for 159 00:05:38,550 --> 00:05:42,389 example then insulin will go up if it 160 00:05:40,649 --> 00:05:44,310 senses that protein is coming in insulin 161 00:05:42,389 --> 00:05:46,560 will go up as well as well as something 162 00:05:44,310 --> 00:05:48,149 like mTOR so there's different receptors 163 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,339 for amino acids there's different 164 00:05:48,149 --> 00:05:52,799 receptors for fat there's different 165 00:05:50,339 --> 00:05:55,829 receptors so the fat for example you'll 166 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,300 have cholecystokinin release if you need 167 00:05:55,829 --> 00:05:59,099 a lot of fibrous foods you'll have 168 00:05:57,300 --> 00:06:00,629 stretch receptors in your stomach which 169 00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:02,010 are activated so there are all these 170 00:06:00,629 --> 00:06:04,379 different things that the body does 171 00:06:02,009 --> 00:06:06,750 respond to but calories is not one of 172 00:06:04,379 --> 00:06:09,750 them so therefore it really has no idea 173 00:06:06,750 --> 00:06:12,389 you can look on all these different you 174 00:06:09,750 --> 00:06:14,339 know these diagrams of metabolism that 175 00:06:12,389 --> 00:06:17,668 we've done and you can go on google you 176 00:06:14,339 --> 00:06:20,339 can find you know hundreds of diagrams 177 00:06:17,668 --> 00:06:23,399 of metabolism you see the Krebs cycle 178 00:06:20,339 --> 00:06:25,739 you see acetyl co a you'll see insulin 179 00:06:23,399 --> 00:06:28,649 receptors you'll see all kinds of things 180 00:06:25,740 --> 00:06:32,038 amino acids fatty acids all kinds of 181 00:06:28,649 --> 00:06:33,539 things and in nowhere in the last sort 182 00:06:32,038 --> 00:06:36,990 of five hundred you 183 00:06:33,540 --> 00:06:39,870 of human physiology have we described 184 00:06:36,990 --> 00:06:43,920 the calorie receptor it doesn't exist 185 00:06:39,870 --> 00:06:47,189 right and so the the entire concept is 186 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:49,140 sort of borrowed from physics and sort 187 00:06:47,189 --> 00:06:52,740 of made a little bit of sense not a lot 188 00:06:49,139 --> 00:06:54,329 of sense but it just kept being repeated 189 00:06:52,740 --> 00:06:57,840 repeated repeated so people think that 190 00:06:54,329 --> 00:06:59,550 is true but again 100 calories of 191 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,889 broccoli is not the same as a hundred 192 00:06:59,550 --> 00:07:03,720 calories of donuts that's just the 193 00:07:01,889 --> 00:07:07,229 bottom line and we all try and pretend 194 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:08,760 that it is but it isn't and that's where 195 00:07:07,230 --> 00:07:11,370 we've really failed so if you believe 196 00:07:08,759 --> 00:07:14,009 that calories is what's really important 197 00:07:11,370 --> 00:07:16,410 then all you need to do is switch over 198 00:07:14,009 --> 00:07:18,719 and drink diet soda and have that fake 199 00:07:16,410 --> 00:07:21,330 fat olestra that we used to have eat 200 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,740 fake food with zero calories switch and 201 00:07:21,329 --> 00:07:24,839 there are lots of things we've done it 202 00:07:22,740 --> 00:07:27,210 for sort of 30 years that I mean diet 203 00:07:24,839 --> 00:07:29,489 cooks been around for a long time and 204 00:07:27,209 --> 00:07:30,989 there would be no obesity crisis but 205 00:07:29,490 --> 00:07:33,420 it's worse than ever so it's like okay 206 00:07:30,990 --> 00:07:36,870 well you know what people never really 207 00:07:33,420 --> 00:07:39,180 get is that the bottom line is that you 208 00:07:36,870 --> 00:07:42,000 have to have results if you think that 209 00:07:39,180 --> 00:07:44,670 cutting calories is what's really 210 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,350 important and we've told people this is 211 00:07:44,670 --> 00:07:49,590 important for the last sort of 20-30 212 00:07:46,350 --> 00:07:51,150 years well what's happened well obesity 213 00:07:49,589 --> 00:07:54,060 has gone like through the roof so 214 00:07:51,149 --> 00:07:56,699 clearly this entire notion is completely 215 00:07:54,060 --> 00:07:59,040 false and that's where we're getting 216 00:07:56,699 --> 00:08:01,620 into trouble because we're following the 217 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,689 wrong path we're so obsessed with 218 00:08:01,620 --> 00:08:06,209 calories that we forget about everything 219 00:08:03,689 --> 00:08:08,879 else we say yeah you can eat doughnuts 220 00:08:06,209 --> 00:08:10,409 for dinner because it's the same number 221 00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:13,050 of calories as if you had that kale 222 00:08:10,410 --> 00:08:16,230 salad like you've got to be an idiot to 223 00:08:13,050 --> 00:08:18,990 think that eating doughnuts for dinner 224 00:08:16,230 --> 00:08:21,360 is a good idea and equally as fattening 225 00:08:18,990 --> 00:08:22,800 as eating kale salad there's nothing the 226 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,210 same about them the minute it goes into 227 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,790 your mouth there's nothing the same 228 00:08:24,209 --> 00:08:29,009 about those two foods so you got to 229 00:08:26,790 --> 00:08:33,179 follow the physiology rather than this 230 00:08:29,009 --> 00:08:35,970 sort of foreign notion of physics that 231 00:08:33,179 --> 00:08:38,429 we've sort of imported in I mean why 232 00:08:35,970 --> 00:08:40,769 don't we say for example that it's all 233 00:08:38,429 --> 00:08:42,389 dude the weight of food if you eat half 234 00:08:40,769 --> 00:08:43,519 a pound of food you will gain half a 235 00:08:42,389 --> 00:08:45,960 pound of weight 236 00:08:43,519 --> 00:08:48,419 you know depends what you're eating in 237 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,550 the hormone response yeah exactly and I 238 00:08:48,419 --> 00:08:52,919 mean that's the law of thermodynamics to 239 00:08:50,549 --> 00:08:54,750 first law of thermodynamics you can't 240 00:08:52,919 --> 00:08:57,000 gain a pound of weight if you've only 241 00:08:54,750 --> 00:08:59,279 eaten a pound half a pound of food if 242 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,470 you've eaten half a pound of food you 243 00:08:59,279 --> 00:09:03,449 must weigh half a pound more there's 244 00:09:01,470 --> 00:09:05,610 simply no way around it of course that's 245 00:09:03,450 --> 00:09:07,620 stupid because you get metabolism 246 00:09:05,610 --> 00:09:08,909 there's metabolism something that's 247 00:09:07,620 --> 00:09:10,620 going to be exhaled as carbon dioxide 248 00:09:08,909 --> 00:09:13,159 something's gonna go through your stools 249 00:09:10,620 --> 00:09:16,110 there's all this physiology that happens 250 00:09:13,159 --> 00:09:18,990 when when when you go from physics to 251 00:09:16,110 --> 00:09:22,950 physiology but but you know the whole 252 00:09:18,990 --> 00:09:25,590 calories thing is just like it's just so 253 00:09:22,950 --> 00:09:27,960 engrained into us from like we're from 254 00:09:25,590 --> 00:09:29,790 the time we're like 2 years old that we 255 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,259 really can't let go of this notion and 256 00:09:29,789 --> 00:09:32,759 that's where we're really really getting 257 00:09:31,259 --> 00:09:34,590 into trouble yeah do you think part of 258 00:09:32,759 --> 00:09:35,970 that is the food industry because people 259 00:09:34,590 --> 00:09:38,009 go to the grocery store buy packaged 260 00:09:35,970 --> 00:09:39,600 food so they look at calories and so 261 00:09:38,009 --> 00:09:40,799 it's like indelibly inked I mean it's 262 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,750 gonna take a long time for you on a 263 00:09:40,799 --> 00:09:44,729 hundred thirty it was all driven by the 264 00:09:42,750 --> 00:09:46,769 food industry in my mind because it's 265 00:09:44,730 --> 00:09:47,970 not driven by the scientists other than 266 00:09:46,769 --> 00:09:51,360 know what those who have been paid off 267 00:09:47,970 --> 00:09:55,620 by the industry because what they want 268 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:58,050 to do is equate in our minds that it's 269 00:09:55,620 --> 00:09:59,429 all calories so that you can say you can 270 00:09:58,049 --> 00:10:00,899 eat doughnuts for dinner and then hey 271 00:09:59,429 --> 00:10:02,669 why don't you buy these doughnuts 272 00:10:00,899 --> 00:10:04,799 there's a lot tastier than that salad 273 00:10:02,669 --> 00:10:06,870 you're gonna eat and if it's 200 274 00:10:04,799 --> 00:10:09,359 calories of doughnuts and 200 calories 275 00:10:06,870 --> 00:10:11,789 of salmon hey same thing it's like 276 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,769 cheaper it tastes better just eat that 277 00:10:11,789 --> 00:10:16,709 doughnut and it's great so of course 278 00:10:13,769 --> 00:10:19,019 they they love this sort of idea and the 279 00:10:16,710 --> 00:10:21,240 beverage business for example it's like 280 00:10:19,019 --> 00:10:23,970 yeah you can drink Gatorade and then go 281 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,350 bicycle for an hour and you'll work it 282 00:10:23,970 --> 00:10:26,970 all off it's the same it's all 283 00:10:25,350 --> 00:10:29,159 equivalent when you try and make them 284 00:10:26,970 --> 00:10:30,750 equivalent what you don't understand is 285 00:10:29,159 --> 00:10:32,069 that if you drink that sugary drink 286 00:10:30,750 --> 00:10:34,230 you're gonna get fatty liver you're 287 00:10:32,070 --> 00:10:35,670 gonna get insulin resistance you can 288 00:10:34,230 --> 00:10:37,649 exercise your muscles but you can't 289 00:10:35,669 --> 00:10:39,509 exercise your liver your livers dying 290 00:10:37,649 --> 00:10:41,850 your muscles are doing great so it's 291 00:10:39,509 --> 00:10:44,549 like okay well in the end you get all 292 00:10:41,850 --> 00:10:46,860 these athletes like Professor Tim Noakes 293 00:10:44,549 --> 00:10:49,529 who's running marathons to marathon 294 00:10:46,860 --> 00:10:52,019 after marathon and then gets type-2 295 00:10:49,529 --> 00:10:54,720 diabetes it's like okay well how does 296 00:10:52,019 --> 00:10:55,889 that work it works because the whole 297 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,560 calories notion is 298 00:10:55,889 --> 00:11:01,470 Falls and that's one of the things that 299 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:03,958 we have to understand yeah maybe it's 300 00:11:01,470 --> 00:11:04,528 you know maybe I over exaggerated a 301 00:11:03,958 --> 00:11:08,250 little bit 302 00:11:04,528 --> 00:11:10,110 for a fact but you really can't use that 303 00:11:08,250 --> 00:11:12,629 calories notion it's not a helpful 304 00:11:10,110 --> 00:11:14,700 notion and if it was we would be doing a 305 00:11:12,629 --> 00:11:17,189 lot better than we are sort of today 306 00:11:14,700 --> 00:11:19,140 mm-hmm and in the longer term at the 307 00:11:17,190 --> 00:11:21,870 demon illogical studies have teased this 308 00:11:19,139 --> 00:11:23,278 out and and reducing calories effects 309 00:11:21,870 --> 00:11:24,750 resting metabolic rate which I want to 310 00:11:23,278 --> 00:11:27,088 get into but first is two kind of two 311 00:11:24,750 --> 00:11:29,370 examples you know I want to talk about 312 00:11:27,089 --> 00:11:31,470 insulin and then also if someone is 313 00:11:29,370 --> 00:11:33,120 eating the right amount of 314 00:11:31,470 --> 00:11:35,278 macronutrients but is in a calorie 315 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,259 excess but yet it's keeping their 316 00:11:35,278 --> 00:11:38,519 hormones in balance so we've seen this a 317 00:11:37,259 --> 00:11:41,309 lot of people on the internet are doing 318 00:11:38,519 --> 00:11:43,709 like 5,000 or 4,000 calorie a day keto 319 00:11:41,309 --> 00:11:45,208 you know diets and they're not gaining 320 00:11:43,708 --> 00:11:48,028 fat because their hormones are 321 00:11:45,208 --> 00:11:52,009 imbalanced so yeah how do you feel about 322 00:11:48,028 --> 00:11:54,120 that I think you can do it now it all 323 00:11:52,009 --> 00:11:57,028 depends on what happens you got to 324 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:58,769 realize that for most of sort of human 325 00:11:57,028 --> 00:12:03,240 history people didn't count calories 326 00:11:58,769 --> 00:12:05,549 calorie intake varies widely know nobody 327 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:08,100 eats sort of like 2,000 a day every 328 00:12:05,549 --> 00:12:09,929 single day honestly I have no idea how 329 00:12:08,100 --> 00:12:11,519 many calories I eat in a day and most 330 00:12:09,929 --> 00:12:13,379 people don't either they even if they 331 00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:16,919 try and count it they're wildly 332 00:12:13,379 --> 00:12:19,919 inaccurate the idea is that the body 333 00:12:16,919 --> 00:12:21,990 works as a negative feedback loop and 334 00:12:19,919 --> 00:12:24,088 that's how we maintain stable weight so 335 00:12:21,990 --> 00:12:26,639 look let's go back to the 60s the 336 00:12:24,089 --> 00:12:28,890 sixties nobody's exercising and weight 337 00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:32,100 is quite stable for the most part in a 338 00:12:28,889 --> 00:12:35,189 very good range like in a non obese or 339 00:12:32,100 --> 00:12:38,579 overweight sort of a range so how does 340 00:12:35,190 --> 00:12:40,649 that work because if you think that you 341 00:12:38,578 --> 00:12:44,909 can match your calorie expenditure in 342 00:12:40,649 --> 00:12:49,019 your intake to that degree that sort of 343 00:12:44,909 --> 00:12:51,929 2% of the population is obese but you're 344 00:12:49,019 --> 00:12:56,250 taking 2,000 calories a day in a year 345 00:12:51,929 --> 00:12:59,009 times 365 it's you know 70,000 calories 346 00:12:56,250 --> 00:13:01,980 in a year a pound of fat is roughly 347 00:12:59,009 --> 00:13:04,860 3,000 calories so you're matching it to 348 00:13:01,980 --> 00:13:07,680 less like sort of a 99.5 percent 349 00:13:04,860 --> 00:13:09,379 accuracy without any idea of how many 350 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:12,078 calories are either either 351 00:13:09,379 --> 00:13:15,499 spending it's like there's no way that's 352 00:13:12,078 --> 00:13:17,208 possible so there's obviously a negative 353 00:13:15,499 --> 00:13:19,099 feedback loop and what that is it's like 354 00:13:17,208 --> 00:13:20,748 a thermostat so a thermostat is a 355 00:13:19,099 --> 00:13:23,539 perfect example of a negative feedback 356 00:13:20,749 --> 00:13:26,178 loop so you set your temperature at say 357 00:13:23,538 --> 00:13:29,088 72 degrees which is room temperature if 358 00:13:26,178 --> 00:13:31,278 it's summer and it's hot then the the 359 00:13:29,089 --> 00:13:32,689 thermostat senses it's too hot and turns 360 00:13:31,278 --> 00:13:35,178 on the air-conditioning brings it back 361 00:13:32,688 --> 00:13:37,578 to 72 if it's winter and it's really 362 00:13:35,178 --> 00:13:38,629 cold temperatures in the house drops to 363 00:13:37,578 --> 00:13:41,628 69 degrees 364 00:13:38,629 --> 00:13:43,369 these thermostat senses that turns on 365 00:13:41,629 --> 00:13:44,899 the heat brings it back up so it's a 366 00:13:43,369 --> 00:13:47,028 negative feedback loop and that's a 367 00:13:44,899 --> 00:13:50,149 perfect example of homeostasis the body 368 00:13:47,028 --> 00:13:53,688 does exactly the same thing and there's 369 00:13:50,149 --> 00:13:57,109 a very similar body set way so we have a 370 00:13:53,688 --> 00:14:00,228 a mechanism in our body that determines 371 00:13:57,109 --> 00:14:02,720 how fat we get so if you get too fat 372 00:14:00,229 --> 00:14:04,399 you're gonna you're not going to survive 373 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,839 because you're not going to be able to 374 00:14:04,399 --> 00:14:07,308 catch food or somebody's going to eat 375 00:14:05,839 --> 00:14:08,779 you if you get too skinny you're also 376 00:14:07,308 --> 00:14:10,458 not going to survive because you can't 377 00:14:08,778 --> 00:14:11,749 take it when there's no food like the 378 00:14:10,458 --> 00:14:14,778 wintertime there's no food you're gonna 379 00:14:11,749 --> 00:14:17,359 die so the body actually sets a certain 380 00:14:14,778 --> 00:14:19,489 set weight which is defended very 381 00:14:17,359 --> 00:14:21,709 vigorously actually so if you get too 382 00:14:19,489 --> 00:14:23,359 fat your body will actually turn on and 383 00:14:21,708 --> 00:14:24,978 try and burn off those calories and 384 00:14:23,359 --> 00:14:27,259 we've proved that through lots of 385 00:14:24,979 --> 00:14:30,229 studies so if you deliberately over feed 386 00:14:27,259 --> 00:14:32,389 people to gain 10 percent body weight 387 00:14:30,229 --> 00:14:35,509 they'll actually burn 500 calories per 388 00:14:32,389 --> 00:14:36,979 day more than if they're at their normal 389 00:14:35,509 --> 00:14:38,600 weight then you drop them to their 390 00:14:36,979 --> 00:14:41,329 normal weight and their basal metabolic 391 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,889 rate goes back to the same one if now 392 00:14:41,328 --> 00:14:44,628 you make them lose 10 percent of their 393 00:14:42,889 --> 00:14:47,178 body weight they're actually burning 300 394 00:14:44,629 --> 00:14:49,069 calories a day less than they did when 395 00:14:47,178 --> 00:14:51,288 they were normal weight so you see that 396 00:14:49,068 --> 00:14:53,478 the basal metabolic rate goes up and 397 00:14:51,288 --> 00:14:56,269 down depending on where it is but the 398 00:14:53,479 --> 00:14:57,979 body has this mechanism that if you get 399 00:14:56,269 --> 00:14:59,658 too fat it's going to burn it off 400 00:14:57,979 --> 00:15:02,139 burn off those calories so we get back 401 00:14:59,658 --> 00:15:04,788 to normal weight the more sort of 402 00:15:02,139 --> 00:15:07,129 situation we deal with more is that 403 00:15:04,788 --> 00:15:08,989 you're trying to lose weight then the 404 00:15:07,129 --> 00:15:12,079 body tries to make you gain that weight 405 00:15:08,989 --> 00:15:14,989 back so the key is not to look at the 406 00:15:12,078 --> 00:15:17,118 calories so let's take an example of the 407 00:15:14,989 --> 00:15:19,069 thermostat mm-hmm we know there's a 408 00:15:17,119 --> 00:15:21,319 there's a negative feedback loop there 409 00:15:19,068 --> 00:15:23,868 if you 410 00:15:21,318 --> 00:15:27,169 temperature of 72 degrees and it gets 411 00:15:23,869 --> 00:15:28,699 too hot then what's gonna happen is that 412 00:15:27,169 --> 00:15:31,969 the body will turn on the 413 00:15:28,698 --> 00:15:34,519 air-conditioning if you for example put 414 00:15:31,970 --> 00:15:37,009 in a bunch of heaters you can bring it 415 00:15:34,519 --> 00:15:38,839 back up so say you're at 72 degrees and 416 00:15:37,009 --> 00:15:41,449 you say okay now I want to be 75 degrees 417 00:15:38,839 --> 00:15:43,369 but instead of changing that thermostat 418 00:15:41,448 --> 00:15:47,058 you just bring in a couple of heaters 419 00:15:43,369 --> 00:15:51,050 well that's great you go from 72 to 75 420 00:15:47,058 --> 00:15:53,088 then the thermostat is going to turn on 421 00:15:51,049 --> 00:15:55,128 the AC and then it's gonna bring it back 422 00:15:53,089 --> 00:15:57,230 down to 72 so you say okay well that 423 00:15:55,129 --> 00:15:59,178 didn't work so instead of one heater 424 00:15:57,230 --> 00:16:01,490 I'll bring in two heaters you bring it 425 00:15:59,178 --> 00:16:04,039 up to 75 it brings it back down and you 426 00:16:01,490 --> 00:16:06,470 keep fighting yourself that's exactly 427 00:16:04,039 --> 00:16:09,110 what we do with our body so we have a 428 00:16:06,470 --> 00:16:10,759 say say our body set weight is 200 429 00:16:09,110 --> 00:16:11,829 pounds we don't want to be 200 pounds we 430 00:16:10,759 --> 00:16:14,300 want to be a hundred and eighty pounds 431 00:16:11,828 --> 00:16:18,469 so you lose weight you count your 432 00:16:14,299 --> 00:16:20,958 calories you lose weight go down to 180 433 00:16:18,470 --> 00:16:23,600 and what does the body do well the body 434 00:16:20,958 --> 00:16:26,239 makes you hungry and then it slows down 435 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:29,120 your metabolism in an effort to get back 436 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:31,490 up to the 200 pounds so then you say 437 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,839 okay well now you know I've got a lot of 438 00:16:31,490 --> 00:16:35,240 willpower so I'm gonna cut my calories 439 00:16:32,839 --> 00:16:37,399 even further so you cut your calories 440 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,169 further and what happens the body makes 441 00:16:37,399 --> 00:16:41,299 you hungrier and it slows down your 442 00:16:39,169 --> 00:16:43,549 metabolic rate even more so you're 443 00:16:41,299 --> 00:16:46,039 constantly fighting yourself rather than 444 00:16:43,549 --> 00:16:47,748 adjusting that body set wait so it's not 445 00:16:46,039 --> 00:16:49,789 about calories it's about this body's 446 00:16:47,749 --> 00:16:52,579 that way because the way it worked is 447 00:16:49,789 --> 00:16:55,789 that insulin is going to make you gain 448 00:16:52,578 --> 00:16:57,979 fat but if your fat cells expand to a 449 00:16:55,789 --> 00:17:01,519 certain point they're going to generate 450 00:16:57,980 --> 00:17:05,480 leptin so leptin goes into the brain and 451 00:17:01,519 --> 00:17:09,439 it says hey we're too fat and turns down 452 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:11,929 the appetite right down okay so as your 453 00:17:09,439 --> 00:17:14,449 appetite goes down you don't eat if you 454 00:17:11,929 --> 00:17:17,059 don't eat insulin goes down so perfect 455 00:17:14,449 --> 00:17:18,318 here is your negative feedback loop hi 456 00:17:17,058 --> 00:17:19,638 there it's me again with

479 00:18:05,180 --> 00:18:10,970 too fat left and turns on and turns off 480 00:18:08,420 --> 00:18:12,529 the insulin so it works perfectly what 481 00:18:10,970 --> 00:18:16,100 happens though is that if you've 482 00:18:12,529 --> 00:18:19,789 hijacked that mechanism now listen you 483 00:18:16,099 --> 00:18:23,000 you stimulate insulin all the time so 484 00:18:19,789 --> 00:18:25,730 you go to 1977 the government says eat 485 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:28,279 lots of Brad because remember they said 486 00:18:25,730 --> 00:18:30,319 eat 50 percent carbs 55 to 60 percent 487 00:18:28,279 --> 00:18:32,210 carbs right if they're eating broccoli 488 00:18:30,319 --> 00:18:34,059 you're good but if you're eating white 489 00:18:32,210 --> 00:18:36,079 bread and you should see the original 490 00:18:34,059 --> 00:18:39,079 Dietary Guidelines they're all white 491 00:18:36,079 --> 00:18:40,369 bread and you know spaghetti yeah and so 492 00:18:39,079 --> 00:18:42,230 you're supposed to eat that five or six 493 00:18:40,369 --> 00:18:44,989 times a day so insulin is going through 494 00:18:42,230 --> 00:18:46,759 the roof but not just that but people 495 00:18:44,990 --> 00:18:49,910 went from eating three times a day to 496 00:18:46,759 --> 00:18:52,519 six times a day that wasn't in the 497 00:18:49,910 --> 00:18:53,960 guidelines but that did happen so now 498 00:18:52,519 --> 00:18:55,879 you're stimula every time you eat 499 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:58,700 assuming you eat a mixed meal 500 00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:00,650 you're gonna stimulate insulin assuming 501 00:18:58,700 --> 00:19:03,319 you have some carbs some proteins on fat 502 00:19:00,650 --> 00:19:05,360 yeah you're gonna stimulate insulin so 503 00:19:03,319 --> 00:19:08,649 not only are you stimulated insulin more 504 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:12,319 you're stimulating it all the time so 505 00:19:08,650 --> 00:19:13,910 what happens is that if you stimulate 506 00:19:12,319 --> 00:19:17,779 insulin all the time you get insulin 507 00:19:13,910 --> 00:19:20,720 resistance your fat cells get big it 508 00:19:17,779 --> 00:19:22,369 turns on leptin leptin if you stimulate 509 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:25,970 all the time you get leptin resistance 510 00:19:22,369 --> 00:19:28,399 same thing we know that because in 511 00:19:25,970 --> 00:19:32,180 obesity what you have is not a lack of 512 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:34,730 leptin but a total lack of response so 513 00:19:32,180 --> 00:19:36,980 it's a leptin resistance state so now 514 00:19:34,730 --> 00:19:40,309 your negative feedback loop is 515 00:19:36,980 --> 00:19:43,250 completely busted because insulin you're 516 00:19:40,309 --> 00:19:44,440 eating a diet lots of carbs eating all 517 00:19:43,250 --> 00:19:46,849 the time 518 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:49,640 your insulin is going up through the 519 00:19:46,849 --> 00:19:52,398 roof and leptin goes up but there's no 520 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:55,159 response so now your your negative 521 00:19:52,398 --> 00:19:56,778 feedback loop is busted and you're just 522 00:19:55,159 --> 00:20:00,080 going to gain weight so that thermostat 523 00:19:56,778 --> 00:20:01,640 that bodyweight thermostat is gradually 524 00:20:00,079 --> 00:20:03,439 getting reset upwards 525 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:06,769 higher and higher and higher exact yeah 526 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:08,870 and then if you simply try so so the 527 00:20:06,769 --> 00:20:11,058 important thing is that how do you reset 528 00:20:08,869 --> 00:20:12,829 that well it's a balance between insulin 529 00:20:11,058 --> 00:20:15,288 and leptin you can't do much about 530 00:20:12,829 --> 00:20:18,138 leptin so you really got a attack the 531 00:20:15,288 --> 00:20:21,048 the infant side and really lower it but 532 00:20:18,138 --> 00:20:23,089 if you simply say and here's where we 533 00:20:21,048 --> 00:20:27,079 made a huge mistake so you're eating 534 00:20:23,089 --> 00:20:29,750 2,000 calories a day now you say okay I 535 00:20:27,079 --> 00:20:31,849 want to cut 500 calories I'm gonna cut 536 00:20:29,750 --> 00:20:33,288 the fat out because that's what the 537 00:20:31,849 --> 00:20:36,528 government told them I'm gonna cut the 538 00:20:33,288 --> 00:20:38,720 fat high calorie weight so the coke 539 00:20:36,528 --> 00:20:40,429 calorie thing is like okay I've cut my 540 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,940 calories because I've cut so much fat 541 00:20:40,429 --> 00:20:45,500 out of my diet that fat had no 542 00:20:42,940 --> 00:20:47,720 practically no insulin response anyway 543 00:20:45,500 --> 00:20:49,609 yeah and instead of eating three times a 544 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,350 day I'm gonna eat six or seven times a 545 00:20:49,609 --> 00:20:52,339 day because somebody told me that you 546 00:20:51,349 --> 00:20:56,569 have to eat all the time 547 00:20:52,339 --> 00:20:58,548 you should eat six meals a day so not 548 00:20:56,569 --> 00:21:01,220 only are you you're not affecting your 549 00:20:58,548 --> 00:21:03,500 insulin because you're eating foods that 550 00:21:01,220 --> 00:21:05,089 are getting reading the same insulin 551 00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:06,169 effect and you're getting more insulin 552 00:21:05,089 --> 00:21:08,000 effect because you're eating all the 553 00:21:06,169 --> 00:21:09,380 time so you're eating less calories for 554 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,179 having the same insulin in fact and then 555 00:21:09,380 --> 00:21:13,610 wondering why your weight is going up 556 00:21:11,179 --> 00:21:15,590 because you never corrected the problem 557 00:21:13,609 --> 00:21:17,689 which is this balance between insulin 558 00:21:15,589 --> 00:21:19,990 and leptin you need to get your insulin 559 00:21:17,690 --> 00:21:23,450 low for a significant amount of time and 560 00:21:19,990 --> 00:21:24,980 keep get your you're left to get low and 561 00:21:23,450 --> 00:21:28,519 that takes a long time because that is 562 00:21:24,980 --> 00:21:31,940 reset upwards very very gradually so if 563 00:21:28,519 --> 00:21:34,579 you think about standard sort of common 564 00:21:31,940 --> 00:21:37,639 obesity it's about a pound of weight 565 00:21:34,579 --> 00:21:39,619 gain one to two pounds per year which 566 00:21:37,638 --> 00:21:43,250 adds up over three decades sort of thing 567 00:21:39,619 --> 00:21:45,888 but that's it this gradually reset 568 00:21:43,250 --> 00:21:47,630 upwards so can you move it all back down 569 00:21:45,888 --> 00:21:51,379 in like a month and a half not really 570 00:21:47,630 --> 00:21:53,299 it's it's a long term process there's 571 00:21:51,380 --> 00:21:54,740 this really fascinating study about 572 00:21:53,298 --> 00:21:56,210 eating habits and 573 00:21:54,740 --> 00:22:00,200 the things that I've always talked about 574 00:21:56,210 --> 00:22:03,470 in you know in the obesity code is that 575 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:05,840 it's not simply what we eat so if you 576 00:22:03,470 --> 00:22:08,000 look at the foods that we should eat 577 00:22:05,839 --> 00:22:09,709 there's there's really not that much 578 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,970 disagreement nobody really thinks you 579 00:22:09,710 --> 00:22:12,350 should be eating a lot of white bread 580 00:22:10,970 --> 00:22:15,399 anymore 581 00:22:12,349 --> 00:22:18,469 so if you look that we all sort of agree 582 00:22:15,398 --> 00:22:20,389 unprocessed foods are good natural fats 583 00:22:18,470 --> 00:22:22,100 are sort of back so there's less you 584 00:22:20,390 --> 00:22:23,840 know avocados and nuts it's not that 585 00:22:22,099 --> 00:22:25,490 much controversy around the edges like 586 00:22:23,839 --> 00:22:28,220 saturated fat and so on there's still 587 00:22:25,490 --> 00:22:30,169 some controversy but if you look at what 588 00:22:28,220 --> 00:22:32,690 people say you should eat it's not that 589 00:22:30,169 --> 00:22:35,149 it's not that different the thing I've 590 00:22:32,690 --> 00:22:37,880 never talked about is the when to eat if 591 00:22:35,148 --> 00:22:39,739 you look at nineteen seventy seven how 592 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,270 often people are eating it's about three 593 00:22:39,740 --> 00:22:42,649 times a day so I grew up in to some 594 00:22:41,269 --> 00:22:44,990 needs a breakfast lunch dinner you 595 00:22:42,648 --> 00:22:46,579 wanted to stack your mom said no you 596 00:22:44,990 --> 00:22:48,740 can't have a snack we don't have snacks 597 00:22:46,579 --> 00:22:50,178 and you're gonna ruin your dinner you 598 00:22:48,740 --> 00:22:52,759 want an after-dinner snack they're like 599 00:22:50,179 --> 00:22:54,740 no if you got hungry yes buddy you 600 00:22:52,759 --> 00:22:57,558 should be more dinner that exactly what 601 00:22:54,740 --> 00:23:00,798 they would have said and if you look at 602 00:22:57,558 --> 00:23:02,839 the latest data so 2004 2005 the Ann 603 00:23:00,798 --> 00:23:06,230 Haynes study which is this giant sort of 604 00:23:02,839 --> 00:23:11,000 American survey it's closer to six times 605 00:23:06,230 --> 00:23:12,380 a day average in 2005 sorry a couple of 606 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,640 years ago they had this really 607 00:23:12,380 --> 00:23:16,429 interesting study where they gave 608 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:18,080 somebody a smartphone app and people 609 00:23:16,429 --> 00:23:19,130 would just record when they ate and how 610 00:23:18,079 --> 00:23:21,470 much they ate sort of thing and they 611 00:23:19,130 --> 00:23:24,380 looked at how often people ate and they 612 00:23:21,470 --> 00:23:26,839 broke it in by deciles so each the top 613 00:23:24,380 --> 00:23:30,440 10% of people in the bottom 10% so the 614 00:23:26,839 --> 00:23:33,250 the bottom 10% the peep that the 10% of 615 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:38,750 people who ate the least frequently 616 00:23:33,250 --> 00:23:42,470 averaged 3.3 times hmm that is 90% of 617 00:23:38,750 --> 00:23:44,778 people ate more than three times a day 618 00:23:42,470 --> 00:23:46,940 it's and and the top 10 percent of 619 00:23:44,778 --> 00:23:47,148 people how often they it was ten times a 620 00:23:46,940 --> 00:23:49,880 day 621 00:23:47,148 --> 00:23:53,079 well it's ridiculous we're eating all 622 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:58,159 the time so again if you think about it 623 00:23:53,079 --> 00:24:01,490 the way human nutrition is is not that 624 00:23:58,159 --> 00:24:04,100 complicated when you eat your body wants 625 00:24:01,490 --> 00:24:05,630 to store food energy because food 626 00:24:04,099 --> 00:24:07,669 Energy's coming in you should store it 627 00:24:05,630 --> 00:24:11,600 for a time that you don't have it 628 00:24:07,670 --> 00:24:13,970 and when you are not eating then insulin 629 00:24:11,599 --> 00:24:15,829 falls and you simply take that food 630 00:24:13,970 --> 00:24:17,480 energy that you store it and you burn it 631 00:24:15,829 --> 00:24:19,039 and that's why you don't die in your 632 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,559 sleep like every single night it's like 633 00:24:19,039 --> 00:24:25,039 yes you don't have to eat muffins every 634 00:24:21,559 --> 00:24:26,899 two hours to survive like it's okay but 635 00:24:25,039 --> 00:24:29,619 that's the way nutrition is so if you 636 00:24:26,900 --> 00:24:32,390 think about it now we're eating sort of 637 00:24:29,619 --> 00:24:35,269 ten times a day instead of three times a 638 00:24:32,390 --> 00:24:37,880 day so 10 times a day we are telling our 639 00:24:35,269 --> 00:24:40,789 bodies to store fat 640 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:42,320 it's like store fast or fast or fast or 641 00:24:40,789 --> 00:24:44,450 fat and that's like I wonder why I'm so 642 00:24:42,319 --> 00:24:48,409 fat it's like because you keep telling 643 00:24:44,450 --> 00:24:50,150 your body do that and if you want to if 644 00:24:48,410 --> 00:24:51,860 you want to burn fat then you got to 645 00:24:50,150 --> 00:24:53,450 tell it to stop burning fat and again 646 00:24:51,859 --> 00:24:55,219 it's a hormonal signal it's not a 647 00:24:53,450 --> 00:24:57,830 caloric signal it's a hormonal signal 648 00:24:55,220 --> 00:24:59,839 you got to let that insulin fall because 649 00:24:57,829 --> 00:25:01,819 it's when the insulin fall that the 650 00:24:59,839 --> 00:25:04,459 body's gonna start burning the glycogen 651 00:25:01,819 --> 00:25:07,339 gonna start burning the body fat if you 652 00:25:04,460 --> 00:25:09,230 keep your insulin high then you'll never 653 00:25:07,339 --> 00:25:11,629 do it because insulin is the signal to 654 00:25:09,230 --> 00:25:13,640 go high and this is the promo type-2 655 00:25:11,630 --> 00:25:15,860 diabetes because you get this insulin 656 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,870 resistance which leads to high insulin 657 00:25:15,859 --> 00:25:20,240 all the time so it gets harder and 658 00:25:17,869 --> 00:25:23,779 harder to lose weight as it goes so then 659 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:25,099 as you get in sort of like 40 years in 660 00:25:23,779 --> 00:25:27,259 if you're 60 years old and you've been 661 00:25:25,099 --> 00:25:28,990 gaining weight since age 20 for example 662 00:25:27,259 --> 00:25:32,210 you have all this insulin resistance 663 00:25:28,990 --> 00:25:34,400 then of course the whole problem is that 664 00:25:32,210 --> 00:25:36,110 you have all this insulin resistance it 665 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,330 keeps it high even though your diet may 666 00:25:36,109 --> 00:25:40,129 be good you have to you have to fight 667 00:25:38,329 --> 00:25:42,589 all those years of insulin resistance 668 00:25:40,130 --> 00:25:44,210 and that's why I also say that that 669 00:25:42,589 --> 00:25:47,179 obesity is really a time-dependent 670 00:25:44,210 --> 00:25:49,490 phenomenon that is the longer you have 671 00:25:47,180 --> 00:25:52,519 it the harder it is which the Clarke 672 00:25:49,490 --> 00:25:55,460 theory completely sort of ignores that 673 00:25:52,519 --> 00:25:57,829 is to say if you gain ten pounds from 674 00:25:55,460 --> 00:25:59,960 where you are right now you could lose 675 00:25:57,829 --> 00:26:04,159 that pretty easily yeah but if somebody 676 00:25:59,960 --> 00:26:06,079 is 65 it's pretty hard to lose that ten 677 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,810 pounds because they've always had it and 678 00:26:06,079 --> 00:26:10,879 it's this sort of chronic resetting 679 00:26:08,809 --> 00:26:11,690 upwards of this body set weight that's 680 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,090 the problem 681 00:26:11,690 --> 00:26:16,640 so actors in Hollywood do it all the 682 00:26:14,089 --> 00:26:19,730 time you see people they gain like ten 683 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:22,549 for their 20 pounds for a roll and then 684 00:26:19,730 --> 00:26:23,089 they drop it and no no no biggie yeah of 685 00:26:22,548 --> 00:26:24,950 course 686 00:26:23,089 --> 00:26:26,659 they just gained it like two weeks ago 687 00:26:24,950 --> 00:26:28,100 they can lose it no problem right 688 00:26:26,660 --> 00:26:30,200 because their setpoint was relatively 689 00:26:28,099 --> 00:26:31,939 normal go there's that points here it 690 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,650 takes time it hasn't really gone up but 691 00:26:31,940 --> 00:26:35,179 they force-fed themselves to gain that 692 00:26:33,650 --> 00:26:37,370 weight for whatever movie role they have 693 00:26:35,179 --> 00:26:39,890 to do so their body weights here but 694 00:26:37,369 --> 00:26:41,989 their set points here so then they 695 00:26:39,890 --> 00:26:43,820 simply stop eating because lectins too 696 00:26:41,990 --> 00:26:45,529 high they stop eating because they 697 00:26:43,819 --> 00:26:47,750 really don't want to eat and they just 698 00:26:45,529 --> 00:26:50,359 drop and we saw that in experiments with 699 00:26:47,750 --> 00:26:53,000 in the 1960s with the overfeeding 700 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:56,119 studies so those are fascinating because 701 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:58,400 they took these college kids and they 702 00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:00,048 said we want you to gain weight so this 703 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,660 was an interesting story because Ethan 704 00:27:00,048 --> 00:27:04,970 Sims he wanted to study obesity so he 705 00:27:02,660 --> 00:27:06,740 said okay well you know what I'll make 706 00:27:04,970 --> 00:27:07,940 these rats gain weight so you just gave 707 00:27:06,740 --> 00:27:10,490 him food and they wouldn't gain weight 708 00:27:07,940 --> 00:27:12,710 when they're full they stopped which is 709 00:27:10,490 --> 00:27:14,779 exactly what happens in in in like the 710 00:27:12,710 --> 00:27:16,610 1960s of course people ate until they're 711 00:27:14,779 --> 00:27:19,548 full and they stopped the key of course 712 00:27:16,609 --> 00:27:21,979 is they're not eating all the time but 713 00:27:19,548 --> 00:27:24,470 they so he thought okay well I can't 714 00:27:21,980 --> 00:27:25,940 make these rats get fat that's weird 715 00:27:24,470 --> 00:27:27,769 I thought it is pretty easy so he got 716 00:27:25,940 --> 00:27:29,120 these college kids and I said I want you 717 00:27:27,769 --> 00:27:30,859 to gain like 10 percent of your weight 718 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,689 and they all thought it'd be easy and 719 00:27:30,859 --> 00:27:36,769 they couldn't do it they couldn't gain 720 00:27:32,690 --> 00:27:39,289 weight so he went to prison and he said 721 00:27:36,769 --> 00:27:42,168 okay I'm gonna take these people in 722 00:27:39,289 --> 00:27:44,539 prison and make them gain weight he he 723 00:27:42,169 --> 00:27:47,030 made sure they didn't exercise too much 724 00:27:44,539 --> 00:27:48,798 he had people watch them as they ate 725 00:27:47,029 --> 00:27:51,109 because you know their liberties were 726 00:27:48,798 --> 00:27:53,119 being restricted so they gained weight 727 00:27:51,109 --> 00:27:54,979 but is really really hard there's one 728 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,979 guy he eventually gained sort of 25 729 00:27:54,980 --> 00:28:00,558 percent of his body weight he was eating 730 00:27:56,980 --> 00:28:03,279 10,000 calories a day well so you think 731 00:28:00,558 --> 00:28:05,389 okay what's going on he normally 820 500 732 00:28:03,279 --> 00:28:08,149 calories a day for example he went up to 733 00:28:05,390 --> 00:28:10,700 10,000 but as you went up to 10,000 his 734 00:28:08,150 --> 00:28:13,370 bodies that way was down here and his 735 00:28:10,700 --> 00:28:14,900 body is actively trying to burn off all 736 00:28:13,369 --> 00:28:16,548 those calories that are coming in now 737 00:28:14,900 --> 00:28:18,230 you can't make up that many calories so 738 00:28:16,548 --> 00:28:20,450 he did gain weight that's what happened 739 00:28:18,230 --> 00:28:22,548 he said when the experiment stopped his 740 00:28:20,450 --> 00:28:25,009 body set weights down here he's up here 741 00:28:22,548 --> 00:28:26,200 boom he lost all that weight in like two 742 00:28:25,009 --> 00:28:28,150 months without effort 743 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,650 it's crazy that's crazy well you know a 744 00:28:28,150 --> 00:28:31,540 lot of bodybuilders not in review but a 745 00:28:29,650 --> 00:28:33,340 lot of bodybuilders use insulin for to 746 00:28:31,539 --> 00:28:34,899 put on mass you know because you you're 747 00:28:33,339 --> 00:28:37,419 at 190 pounds you want to be a 748 00:28:34,900 --> 00:28:39,040 professional onstage at 285 there's a 749 00:28:37,420 --> 00:28:41,050 long way to go right so they used 750 00:28:39,039 --> 00:28:42,849 insulin a lot of anabolic sex you rev up 751 00:28:41,049 --> 00:28:43,450 so that they can physically eat down 752 00:28:42,849 --> 00:28:45,669 much food 753 00:28:43,450 --> 00:28:47,080 yeah so it's crazy um you know a lot of 754 00:28:45,670 --> 00:28:48,550 people will say like oh I just have a 755 00:28:47,079 --> 00:28:49,929 sluggish metabolism and I remember 756 00:28:48,549 --> 00:28:52,000 reading some studies about that like 757 00:28:49,930 --> 00:28:54,100 overweight people their metabolisms not 758 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,990 slow they're just storing more than 759 00:28:54,099 --> 00:28:57,699 they're burning you know yeah so that's 760 00:28:55,990 --> 00:28:59,769 really interesting about like you know 761 00:28:57,700 --> 00:29:02,140 increasing the food intake the body will 762 00:28:59,769 --> 00:29:05,259 compensate and will speed up resting 763 00:29:02,140 --> 00:29:07,480 metabolic rate but one thing that how 764 00:29:05,259 --> 00:29:10,119 can we mentally unravel the difference 765 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:12,099 between calorie restriction like you 766 00:29:10,119 --> 00:29:13,809 know I want to lose whatever how many 767 00:29:12,099 --> 00:29:15,429 pound so I'm going to only eat 1200 768 00:29:13,809 --> 00:29:17,589 calories per day and intermittent 769 00:29:15,430 --> 00:29:19,600 fasting and how calorie restriction 770 00:29:17,589 --> 00:29:21,909 reduces your resting metabolic rate but 771 00:29:19,599 --> 00:29:23,740 intermittent fasting does not help us 772 00:29:21,910 --> 00:29:26,290 like navigate that yeah that's a common 773 00:29:23,740 --> 00:29:28,990 question and the point is that calorie 774 00:29:26,289 --> 00:29:30,869 restriction first of all the body really 775 00:29:28,990 --> 00:29:33,549 has no idea what the hell you're doing 776 00:29:30,869 --> 00:29:34,929 so you restrict calories but the body 777 00:29:33,549 --> 00:29:37,029 does whatever it wants because it 778 00:29:34,930 --> 00:29:39,310 responds to hormones intermittent 779 00:29:37,029 --> 00:29:41,440 fasting is not about how many calories 780 00:29:39,309 --> 00:29:44,169 you eat it's about the time that you're 781 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:47,279 not eating so you're not eating for 12 782 00:29:44,170 --> 00:29:51,430 hours or 16 hours or 24 hours or 7 days 783 00:29:47,279 --> 00:29:54,190 and people always think that you know if 784 00:29:51,430 --> 00:29:56,110 I only eat once a day for example and I 785 00:29:54,190 --> 00:29:58,210 eat 1200 calories well that's exactly 786 00:29:56,109 --> 00:30:01,359 the same is about 1200 calories through 787 00:29:58,210 --> 00:30:03,910 that day no the difference is that if 788 00:30:01,359 --> 00:30:08,079 you you know let's do a thought 789 00:30:03,910 --> 00:30:11,680 experiment yeah if you eat sort of you 790 00:30:08,079 --> 00:30:14,529 know I equal sized portions of food sort 791 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:17,049 of every hour you know throughout the 792 00:30:14,529 --> 00:30:19,690 whole day is that really the same as 793 00:30:17,049 --> 00:30:22,990 eating that one portion through that 794 00:30:19,690 --> 00:30:24,820 whole all at one sitting and it's not 795 00:30:22,990 --> 00:30:26,650 really because every time you kind of 796 00:30:24,819 --> 00:30:28,179 stimulate your insulin to go up and you 797 00:30:26,650 --> 00:30:32,500 keep telling your body to gain weight 798 00:30:28,180 --> 00:30:34,720 when you drop your insulin enough what's 799 00:30:32,500 --> 00:30:37,960 gonna happen is that you're going to 800 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:40,210 tell your body to switch fuel sources 801 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:42,548 okay so when you're eating all the time 802 00:30:40,210 --> 00:30:44,829 you're fueling your body on the food 803 00:30:42,548 --> 00:30:46,509 that's coming in so you eat two thousand 804 00:30:44,829 --> 00:30:48,158 calories you burn two thousand calories 805 00:30:46,509 --> 00:30:49,359 that's all food that's kind of going in 806 00:30:48,159 --> 00:30:51,240 and out and it's going through the 807 00:30:49,359 --> 00:30:53,859 short-term storage and the glycogen sure 808 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:56,409 but if you let your insulin fall low 809 00:30:53,859 --> 00:30:59,439 enough then what happens is that you 810 00:30:56,409 --> 00:31:01,390 switch into burning fat so after you get 811 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,009 through your glycogen then you get into 812 00:31:01,390 --> 00:31:04,899 your body fat and that's where you start 813 00:31:03,009 --> 00:31:06,700 to see the ketones and all this sort of 814 00:31:04,898 --> 00:31:09,699 stuff but you know that you're burning 815 00:31:06,700 --> 00:31:13,450 fat so for example if you're switching 816 00:31:09,700 --> 00:31:16,569 fuel sources there's no reason for your 817 00:31:13,450 --> 00:31:18,460 body to slow down so again let's take 818 00:31:16,569 --> 00:31:22,089 some numbers so if you have a 2,000 819 00:31:18,460 --> 00:31:23,230 calories a day and you eat 1,200 but 820 00:31:22,089 --> 00:31:24,788 you're eating all the time and you're 821 00:31:23,230 --> 00:31:26,288 you're keeping your insulin high either 822 00:31:24,788 --> 00:31:27,669 because you're injecting it or you have 823 00:31:26,288 --> 00:31:30,879 insulin resistance and your insulin 824 00:31:27,669 --> 00:31:33,759 slicer insulin is high insulin blocks 825 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:35,409 like pollicis so what that means and 826 00:31:33,759 --> 00:31:38,710 we've known this again for 50 years 827 00:31:35,409 --> 00:31:40,778 insulin stops you from burning fat why 828 00:31:38,710 --> 00:31:42,759 because insulin is telling your body to 829 00:31:40,778 --> 00:31:44,380 gain fat so you don't want to burn fat 830 00:31:42,759 --> 00:31:47,200 and gain found at the same time so we 831 00:31:44,380 --> 00:31:48,760 say insulin inhibits lipolysis so if 832 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:51,370 insulin is high but you're only taking 833 00:31:48,759 --> 00:31:54,190 1200 calories you have no access to your 834 00:31:51,369 --> 00:31:56,079 fat stores right because it blocks like 835 00:31:54,190 --> 00:31:58,509 pollicis insulin is high you can't burn 836 00:31:56,079 --> 00:32:01,509 fat so all you have coming in is 1200 837 00:31:58,509 --> 00:32:03,730 calories all you can burn is 1200 838 00:32:01,509 --> 00:32:04,119 calories your metabolic rate must slow 839 00:32:03,730 --> 00:32:07,089 down 840 00:32:04,119 --> 00:32:09,639 in order for you to survive because you 841 00:32:07,089 --> 00:32:13,028 don't want to die hmm what happens now 842 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:16,720 if you allow your innocent to drop say 843 00:32:13,028 --> 00:32:18,759 you go on a 7 day fast and so you have 844 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:20,589 zero calories coming in for seven days 845 00:32:18,759 --> 00:32:23,129 and I choose this not because I 846 00:32:20,589 --> 00:32:26,439 recommend it it's pretty it's fairly 847 00:32:23,130 --> 00:32:28,059 extreme in some cases but if you have 848 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:31,240 insulin resistance at least I know you 849 00:32:28,058 --> 00:32:33,369 your insulin will fall so as your 850 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:36,548 insulin falls then you're gonna switch 851 00:32:33,369 --> 00:32:40,000 from burning food to burning fat that's 852 00:32:36,548 --> 00:32:43,200 what's supposed to happen so if your 853 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:46,720 body now sees okay I'm burning body fat 854 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:49,279 there's like tons of this stuff yeah why 855 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:52,460 do I need to slow down my metabolism 856 00:32:49,279 --> 00:32:55,789 in fact if you look at the physiology of 857 00:32:52,460 --> 00:32:59,090 fasting it actually maintains the 858 00:32:55,789 --> 00:33:01,849 metabolic rate because as insulin Falls 859 00:32:59,089 --> 00:33:04,669 you get a counter regulatory hormone 860 00:33:01,849 --> 00:33:08,449 surge and again this is sort of basic 861 00:33:04,670 --> 00:33:10,730 physiology insulin Falls the body 862 00:33:08,450 --> 00:33:13,039 increases sympathetic tone so the 863 00:33:10,730 --> 00:33:15,110 sympathetic nervous system adrenaline 864 00:33:13,039 --> 00:33:17,750 and noradrenaline growth hormone and 865 00:33:15,109 --> 00:33:20,359 cortisol we know that that's pretty 866 00:33:17,750 --> 00:33:23,480 basic because that's trying to get the 867 00:33:20,359 --> 00:33:25,909 glucose back out from the liver into the 868 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:28,880 blood and those hormones the sympathetic 869 00:33:25,910 --> 00:33:30,860 nervous system adrenaline cortisol 870 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:33,320 growth hormone are trying to push the 871 00:33:30,859 --> 00:33:35,869 glucose out well what do you think 872 00:33:33,319 --> 00:33:38,059 adrenaline does that's not slowing your 873 00:33:35,869 --> 00:33:41,179 metabolic rate right it's pumping it up 874 00:33:38,059 --> 00:33:44,899 and why does growth hormone go up but 875 00:33:41,180 --> 00:33:48,920 growth hormone is there because you have 876 00:33:44,900 --> 00:33:50,810 a period of gluconeogenesis at around 24 877 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:53,210 hours if you look at the physiology of 878 00:33:50,809 --> 00:33:55,369 fasting the glycogen stores which are 879 00:33:53,210 --> 00:33:58,819 chains of glucose in your liver that's 880 00:33:55,369 --> 00:34:00,349 the first sort of stuff you go to when 881 00:33:58,819 --> 00:34:03,230 you burn through your glycogen it lasts 882 00:34:00,349 --> 00:34:05,659 for 24 hours at 24 to 36 hours roughly 883 00:34:03,230 --> 00:34:06,980 you're gonna burn protein and that's 884 00:34:05,660 --> 00:34:08,449 where everybody says all your burning 885 00:34:06,980 --> 00:34:10,039 muscle know you're burning protein 886 00:34:08,449 --> 00:34:11,779 that's not necessarily muscle there's a 887 00:34:10,039 --> 00:34:13,809 lot of excess connective tissue there's 888 00:34:11,780 --> 00:34:16,870 a lot of excess fat that you should burn 889 00:34:13,809 --> 00:34:18,619 if you look at those you know 890 00:34:16,869 --> 00:34:20,449 documentaries of people whose weight 891 00:34:18,619 --> 00:34:22,969 they have all this excess skin 892 00:34:20,449 --> 00:34:24,529 yeah well that needs to be burned and 893 00:34:22,969 --> 00:34:25,908 you want to burn that that's not bad 894 00:34:24,530 --> 00:34:27,320 thing that's a good thing you want to 895 00:34:25,909 --> 00:34:28,668 get rid of that same thing with the 896 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:31,250 Tophet you you want to get rid of this 897 00:34:28,668 --> 00:34:32,809 protein but if you keep getting rid of 898 00:34:31,250 --> 00:34:34,668 protein and never putting it back in 899 00:34:32,809 --> 00:34:37,369 that's not good either so what does a 900 00:34:34,668 --> 00:34:39,049 body do the body's not that stupid what 901 00:34:37,369 --> 00:34:41,539 it does is it pumps up growth hormone 902 00:34:39,050 --> 00:34:44,149 like you can't believe it goes up like 3 903 00:34:41,539 --> 00:34:46,489 to 5 fold on a 5 day fast Wow 904 00:34:44,148 --> 00:34:48,969 and what it means is that when you eat 905 00:34:46,489 --> 00:34:51,408 again you're gonna rebuild that protein 906 00:34:48,969 --> 00:34:52,989 but not the protein that you didn't need 907 00:34:51,409 --> 00:34:55,639 that excess skin that you didn't need 908 00:34:52,989 --> 00:34:57,679 the stuff that you do need the same 909 00:34:55,639 --> 00:35:00,030 thing for @rg same thing for cancer 910 00:34:57,679 --> 00:35:02,609 cells same thing for all 911 00:35:00,030 --> 00:35:04,680 timers plaque and so on you actually 912 00:35:02,610 --> 00:35:06,539 have the ability to break down this 913 00:35:04,679 --> 00:35:09,480 protein that you don't want and that's 914 00:35:06,539 --> 00:35:11,820 why a lot of these people there's a lot 915 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:14,269 of research going on into a tappa G 916 00:35:11,820 --> 00:35:17,120 caloric restriction in terms of 917 00:35:14,269 --> 00:35:19,530 longevity I mean there's a whole calorie 918 00:35:17,119 --> 00:35:21,750 notion which is not really physiologic 919 00:35:19,530 --> 00:35:23,910 but it's the same thing you really want 920 00:35:21,750 --> 00:35:27,119 to burn off this excess protein that's 921 00:35:23,909 --> 00:35:29,579 not making it good because the if you 922 00:35:27,119 --> 00:35:32,489 don't ever let your body break down this 923 00:35:29,579 --> 00:35:38,150 protein you can't actually build new 924 00:35:32,489 --> 00:35:41,069 protein because it's like if you have a 925 00:35:38,150 --> 00:35:43,230 bathroom that you want to renovate the 926 00:35:41,070 --> 00:35:46,620 first thing you got to do is pull out 927 00:35:43,230 --> 00:35:49,199 that sort of avocado green tub that was 928 00:35:46,619 --> 00:35:51,630 sitting from the 1970s if you don't pull 929 00:35:49,199 --> 00:35:54,389 out that tub you can't put in a nice new 930 00:35:51,630 --> 00:35:56,519 clawfoot tub you have to get rid of it 931 00:35:54,389 --> 00:35:59,279 first yeah then that's the way the body 932 00:35:56,519 --> 00:36:01,710 works if you look at turnover of bone 933 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:03,630 there's osteoclasts and osteoblasts the 934 00:36:01,710 --> 00:36:06,900 first thing you do when you remodel BOE 935 00:36:03,630 --> 00:36:09,690 is chew up the old bone then you lay 936 00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:12,510 down new bone and that's healthier then 937 00:36:09,690 --> 00:36:15,659 keeping the old crappy bone there just 938 00:36:12,510 --> 00:36:17,550 like that old avocado green top so you 939 00:36:15,659 --> 00:36:19,349 have to break it down to rebuild it and 940 00:36:17,550 --> 00:36:22,230 that's what fasting does it actually 941 00:36:19,349 --> 00:36:24,239 breaks down the protein growl hormone 942 00:36:22,230 --> 00:36:26,070 goes through the roof and so does 943 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,959 noradrenaline and some people have so 944 00:36:26,070 --> 00:36:30,300 much energy they're like I can't sleep 945 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:32,449 I'm like waking up at like 3 a.m. and 946 00:36:30,300 --> 00:36:36,000 you know doing all this work I'm like 947 00:36:32,449 --> 00:36:38,129 one is like that's great if you want but 948 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,210 if you can't then like yeah you know 949 00:36:38,130 --> 00:36:41,340 that's just one of the things that 950 00:36:39,210 --> 00:36:44,159 happens but what you're doing you're 951 00:36:41,340 --> 00:36:47,160 allowing access to those energy stores 952 00:36:44,159 --> 00:36:49,079 those fat stores remember fat is simply 953 00:36:47,159 --> 00:36:51,690 food that's stored away for you to use 954 00:36:49,079 --> 00:36:54,690 when there's no food available now that 955 00:36:51,690 --> 00:36:56,849 you've dropped your insulin you're 956 00:36:54,690 --> 00:36:58,769 allowing bought your body to access all 957 00:36:56,849 --> 00:37:00,569 those huge stores of energy and the 958 00:36:58,769 --> 00:37:02,699 body's going crazy and it's like yeah 959 00:37:00,570 --> 00:37:05,190 I'm going crazy I'm gonna do this so it 960 00:37:02,699 --> 00:37:07,109 burns it all off and at the same time 961 00:37:05,190 --> 00:37:08,820 it's breaking down this protein when you 962 00:37:07,110 --> 00:37:10,680 eat again growth hormone is so high 963 00:37:08,820 --> 00:37:12,330 you're going to rebuild your protein so 964 00:37:10,679 --> 00:37:13,049 when you look at clinical studies of 965 00:37:12,329 --> 00:37:15,929 weight loss 966 00:37:13,050 --> 00:37:18,210 you actually get much better retention 967 00:37:15,929 --> 00:37:20,819 of lean mass with an intermittent 968 00:37:18,210 --> 00:37:22,920 fasting strategy than a standard sort of 969 00:37:20,820 --> 00:37:24,450 cut 500 calories per day and these are 970 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:27,269 the sort of myths that are out there 971 00:37:24,449 --> 00:37:28,829 the myth that your metabolites going to 972 00:37:27,269 --> 00:37:31,320 go down it's actually the exact opposite 973 00:37:28,829 --> 00:37:34,259 fasting does much better in terms of 974 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:36,000 preservation of metabolic rate oh you're 975 00:37:34,260 --> 00:37:37,230 gonna lose all this muscle it's 976 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,920 completely false it's actually the 977 00:37:37,230 --> 00:37:39,599 opposite 978 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,130 if you try to lose weight with standard 979 00:37:39,599 --> 00:37:42,719 calorie restriction compared to 980 00:37:41,130 --> 00:37:45,450 intermittent fasting and the studies are 981 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:47,639 there then you will do much better by 982 00:37:45,449 --> 00:37:51,239 doing the fasting because you're you're 983 00:37:47,639 --> 00:37:53,250 cycling the the sort of energy source 984 00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:56,099 you're just you're allowing your body to 985 00:37:53,250 --> 00:37:58,590 access those energy stores rather than 986 00:37:56,099 --> 00:38:00,480 keeping insulin hiding it away and then 987 00:37:58,590 --> 00:38:02,820 saying okay you can use whatever energy 988 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:04,679 is coming in through the mouth and it's 989 00:38:02,820 --> 00:38:06,630 like 1,200 calories while you burn 1200 990 00:38:04,679 --> 00:38:09,000 calories and that's the real problem is 991 00:38:06,630 --> 00:38:10,730 that the body and we saw this in the 992 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:14,639 Biggest Loser so these Biggest Loser 993 00:38:10,730 --> 00:38:17,969 diets so they lose a lot of weight yeah 994 00:38:14,639 --> 00:38:20,339 and a lot of fat which is great but the 995 00:38:17,969 --> 00:38:24,179 problem is that the metabolic rate just 996 00:38:20,340 --> 00:38:26,490 kind of sank like a stone so yeah and 997 00:38:24,179 --> 00:38:28,379 one poor guy who is burning 3400 998 00:38:26,489 --> 00:38:30,750 calories a day went down to like 1800 999 00:38:28,380 --> 00:38:33,119 calories and what does a man drop that's 1000 00:38:30,750 --> 00:38:34,949 a massive drop yeah I mean he he lost a 1001 00:38:33,119 --> 00:38:38,699 lot of weight too but then the problem 1002 00:38:34,949 --> 00:38:41,039 is that the body's used to burning this 1003 00:38:38,699 --> 00:38:43,319 amount of calories so say say you 1004 00:38:41,039 --> 00:38:46,259 normally take 2,000 calories then you go 1005 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:48,900 on this 1,500 calorie a day caloric 1006 00:38:46,260 --> 00:38:50,760 restriction diet your body now can only 1007 00:38:48,900 --> 00:38:52,349 burn 1,500 because you haven't dropped 1008 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:54,240 your insulin you haven't solved this 1009 00:38:52,349 --> 00:38:56,039 sort of hormonal imbalance you're trying 1010 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,239 to solve this kauri imbalance but it's 1011 00:38:56,039 --> 00:38:59,119 not a calorie imbalance you got the 1012 00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:02,299 wrong problem she got the wrong solution 1013 00:38:59,119 --> 00:39:04,319 so you drop your calories now the body 1014 00:39:02,300 --> 00:39:06,150 insulin is still high because you're 1015 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:08,820 cutting fat and you're eating six times 1016 00:39:06,150 --> 00:39:11,579 a day so your insulin is high you have 1017 00:39:08,820 --> 00:39:14,490 no access to body fat you instead of 1018 00:39:11,579 --> 00:39:16,769 burning 2,000 you're burning 1,500 guess 1019 00:39:14,489 --> 00:39:20,369 what you're gonna feel cold you're gonna 1020 00:39:16,769 --> 00:39:22,530 you feel sluggish your hair may fall out 1021 00:39:20,369 --> 00:39:24,569 your nails might get brittle because 1022 00:39:22,530 --> 00:39:26,430 everything takes energy your heart needs 1023 00:39:24,570 --> 00:39:28,829 to pump your blood pressure your 1024 00:39:26,429 --> 00:39:31,230 liver your kidneys and you've put them 1025 00:39:28,829 --> 00:39:33,510 on this sort of restriction so you're 1026 00:39:31,230 --> 00:39:36,059 cold and then your body makes you hungry 1027 00:39:33,510 --> 00:39:37,650 you know that Gowland goes up your body 1028 00:39:36,059 --> 00:39:40,380 makes you hungry because it wants to get 1029 00:39:37,650 --> 00:39:42,180 backed up to that that weight and your 1030 00:39:40,380 --> 00:39:43,800 metabolic rate slowing so you feel cold 1031 00:39:42,179 --> 00:39:46,949 you feel tired you hunt feel hungry you 1032 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:49,109 feel like crap and you've stopped losing 1033 00:39:46,949 --> 00:39:51,509 weight because your metabolic rate has 1034 00:39:49,108 --> 00:39:53,608 gone down not to 59 that usually goes 1035 00:39:51,510 --> 00:39:56,130 down to like 1450 or something like that 1036 00:39:53,608 --> 00:39:59,009 yeah so now you're actually starting to 1037 00:39:56,130 --> 00:40:01,380 regain that weight so you're on 1,500 1038 00:39:59,010 --> 00:40:04,559 calories your body's move this metabolic 1039 00:40:01,380 --> 00:40:06,059 rate from 2,000 to 1450 you're regaining 1040 00:40:04,559 --> 00:40:08,040 that way you said forget it I'm going to 1041 00:40:06,059 --> 00:40:11,790 go back up to 1,700 calories 1042 00:40:08,039 --> 00:40:14,308 now you just pile on the weight because 1043 00:40:11,789 --> 00:40:15,750 you're still at 1450 mm-hmm and you're 1044 00:40:14,309 --> 00:40:18,720 still feeling it like crap because 1045 00:40:15,750 --> 00:40:20,309 you're used to burn 2,000 and your 1046 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:22,529 weights all back to where it was 1047 00:40:20,309 --> 00:40:24,240 it's like sound familiar yeah well guess 1048 00:40:22,530 --> 00:40:28,079 what that's what every single dieter 1049 00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:31,348 does why not instead do the intermittent 1050 00:40:28,079 --> 00:40:33,900 fasting drop your insulin levels very 1051 00:40:31,349 --> 00:40:36,088 low for a period of time whatever time 1052 00:40:33,900 --> 00:40:38,548 it is 16 hours 24 hour whatever it is 1053 00:40:36,088 --> 00:40:42,960 during that time you allow your body to 1054 00:40:38,548 --> 00:40:46,380 burn stored food energy hey why does it 1055 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:47,970 need to change from 2000 so this is the 1056 00:40:46,380 --> 00:40:51,568 difference between calorie restriction 1057 00:40:47,969 --> 00:40:54,629 of 1200 calories and eating one time or 1058 00:40:51,568 --> 00:40:57,900 1200 calories in you know one day is 1059 00:40:54,630 --> 00:41:02,338 that you're taking 1200 calories for 1060 00:40:57,900 --> 00:41:04,740 example from food and 800 calories from 1061 00:41:02,338 --> 00:41:07,230 body fat because you've dropped your 1062 00:41:04,739 --> 00:41:09,719 insulin and allowed your body to access 1063 00:41:07,230 --> 00:41:11,960 that body fat now your body's like yeah 1064 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:14,730 I'm gonna burn 2,000 because I want to 1065 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:16,530 whereas before when your insulin is high 1066 00:41:14,730 --> 00:41:19,199 you've blocked it off and you can only 1067 00:41:16,530 --> 00:41:21,298 burn 1200 and that's the difference 1068 00:41:19,199 --> 00:41:23,730 between sort of intermittent fasting and 1069 00:41:21,298 --> 00:41:25,230 just calorie restriction and you can see 1070 00:41:23,730 --> 00:41:27,030 why one works and one doesn't work 1071 00:41:25,230 --> 00:41:30,599 you're simply allowing your body to 1072 00:41:27,030 --> 00:41:31,650 access the stored food energy that's on 1073 00:41:30,599 --> 00:41:33,450 your body and guess what 1074 00:41:31,650 --> 00:41:35,400 that's what is therefore that's what 1075 00:41:33,449 --> 00:41:37,348 body is the body fat is there for it's 1076 00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,220 not there for looks it's there for you 1077 00:41:37,349 --> 00:41:40,019 to use 1078 00:41:38,219 --> 00:41:41,429 you know it's so brilliant I really 1079 00:41:40,019 --> 00:41:43,469 wanted add more into insulin I think 1080 00:41:41,429 --> 00:41:45,419 that's a great analogy you know that and 1081 00:41:43,469 --> 00:41:47,549 it really underscoring the importance of 1082 00:41:45,420 --> 00:41:49,079 the hormonal balance and speaking of 1083 00:41:47,550 --> 00:41:51,300 hormones ghrelin is a hormone people 1084 00:41:49,079 --> 00:41:52,858 talk about in the context of like why 1085 00:41:51,300 --> 00:41:54,810 women shouldn't fast and there was a 1086 00:41:52,858 --> 00:41:57,358 study came out that show that ghrelin 1087 00:41:54,809 --> 00:41:58,650 reduction was actually better in women 1088 00:41:57,358 --> 00:42:01,049 versus men which i think is interesting 1089 00:41:58,650 --> 00:42:02,579 yeah that was a fascinating study so 1090 00:42:01,050 --> 00:42:04,680 they talked about why women shouldn't 1091 00:42:02,579 --> 00:42:08,400 fast and honestly I don't know why 1092 00:42:04,679 --> 00:42:11,069 people say that it doesn't really make 1093 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:14,369 any sense I mean if the woman is 1094 00:42:11,070 --> 00:42:16,650 underweight or at risk of anorexia sure 1095 00:42:14,369 --> 00:42:18,570 that makes sense like you got to apply 1096 00:42:16,650 --> 00:42:21,210 everything in a clinical context you're 1097 00:42:18,570 --> 00:42:23,849 not gonna put a 16 year old 80 pound 1098 00:42:21,210 --> 00:42:24,809 girl on some kind of fasting diet you're 1099 00:42:23,849 --> 00:42:27,539 asking for trouble 1100 00:42:24,809 --> 00:42:31,139 they might get anorexia nervosa sure but 1101 00:42:27,539 --> 00:42:33,389 you put a 250 pound 60 year-old man on 1102 00:42:31,139 --> 00:42:36,629 fasting he's not gonna get any sooner 1103 00:42:33,389 --> 00:42:38,129 Roza okay so women can fast absolutely 1104 00:42:36,630 --> 00:42:39,480 then grrrrrr Allen is so so-called 1105 00:42:38,130 --> 00:42:41,730 hunger hormone so the higher it is the 1106 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:44,070 hungrier on and when they look that food 1107 00:42:41,730 --> 00:42:46,858 craving so one of the things that we 1108 00:42:44,070 --> 00:42:49,769 talk about all the time is people when 1109 00:42:46,858 --> 00:42:51,900 they come in the the number one sort of 1110 00:42:49,769 --> 00:42:53,489 concern about fasting is hunger they 1111 00:42:51,900 --> 00:42:55,769 think I can't do it I'm gonna get so 1112 00:42:53,489 --> 00:42:59,009 hungry and what you have to realize is 1113 00:42:55,769 --> 00:43:00,838 that when you look at ghrelin over 24 1114 00:42:59,010 --> 00:43:02,820 hours if you don't even over 24 hours 1115 00:43:00,838 --> 00:43:04,380 you see gorillas spike in a spikes three 1116 00:43:02,820 --> 00:43:06,720 times at breakfast lunch and dinner 1117 00:43:04,380 --> 00:43:08,519 so we're trained to eat a lot of people 1118 00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:10,649 are trained to eat three times a day so 1119 00:43:08,519 --> 00:43:12,358 when it comes around to noontime ghrelin 1120 00:43:10,650 --> 00:43:16,588 spikes up but he is that doesn't 1121 00:43:12,358 --> 00:43:18,389 continue to go up if you don't eat it 1122 00:43:16,588 --> 00:43:21,838 actually just drops back down to normal 1123 00:43:18,389 --> 00:43:23,338 and anybody who's worked through Dinard 1124 00:43:21,838 --> 00:43:25,469 work through lunch 1125 00:43:23,338 --> 00:43:28,769 knows this because at twelve o'clock one 1126 00:43:25,469 --> 00:43:30,088 o'clock you're hungry but then you're so 1127 00:43:28,769 --> 00:43:33,530 busy you're just working you're working 1128 00:43:30,088 --> 00:43:36,779 or working by four o'clock it's as if 1129 00:43:33,530 --> 00:43:38,609 you ain't there's actually no difference 1130 00:43:36,780 --> 00:43:42,540 in hunger if you ate or you didn't eat 1131 00:43:38,608 --> 00:43:45,869 why is that well because insulin fell 1132 00:43:42,539 --> 00:43:48,570 your body essentially ate lunch out of 1133 00:43:45,869 --> 00:43:49,950 your own body fat it's like okay that's 1134 00:43:48,570 --> 00:43:52,980 perfect 1135 00:43:49,949 --> 00:43:54,960 that's exactly what we want it to do but 1136 00:43:52,980 --> 00:43:56,670 the hunger does not keep going up it 1137 00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:58,650 comes in waves and I say you got to ride 1138 00:43:56,670 --> 00:44:00,480 those waves out because they will come 1139 00:43:58,650 --> 00:44:02,519 they'll be dinner time you're gonna get 1140 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:04,800 hungry but if you bribed it out it's 1141 00:44:02,519 --> 00:44:06,900 gonna go down so if you look at food 1142 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:09,090 cravings you see the same thing so you 1143 00:44:06,900 --> 00:44:12,000 can do these questionnaires and this 1144 00:44:09,090 --> 00:44:13,769 study looked at food cravings and they 1145 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:16,170 compared a sort of standard calorie 1146 00:44:13,769 --> 00:44:18,420 restriction diet to is sort of ultra 1147 00:44:16,170 --> 00:44:20,789 ultra low calorie diet like a couple 1148 00:44:18,420 --> 00:44:22,200 hundred calories a day sort of thing and 1149 00:44:20,789 --> 00:44:26,969 what they found was that the cravings 1150 00:44:22,199 --> 00:44:29,489 essentially disappeared and women versus 1151 00:44:26,969 --> 00:44:31,289 men had much higher levels of these 1152 00:44:29,489 --> 00:44:32,819 ghrelin spikes and it sort of makes 1153 00:44:31,289 --> 00:44:35,670 sense when you talked about people who 1154 00:44:32,820 --> 00:44:38,940 are chocoholics and crave these foods 1155 00:44:35,670 --> 00:44:41,990 it's women for more than men whom these 1156 00:44:38,940 --> 00:44:44,190 sugar cravings and all that and 1157 00:44:41,989 --> 00:44:46,139 physiologically you see that the women 1158 00:44:44,190 --> 00:44:48,210 have these much higher morale and spikes 1159 00:44:46,139 --> 00:44:51,659 and they come right down when you fast 1160 00:44:48,210 --> 00:44:54,090 them so again if you have cravings the 1161 00:44:51,659 --> 00:44:56,309 important thing is not to say well I'm 1162 00:44:54,090 --> 00:44:59,190 gonna eat a little bit because it's like 1163 00:44:56,309 --> 00:45:02,639 an itch if you're a parent you know that 1164 00:44:59,190 --> 00:45:05,849 you don't touch that edge if you scratch 1165 00:45:02,639 --> 00:45:07,650 it it's gonna get worse mm-hmm it's the 1166 00:45:05,849 --> 00:45:09,539 same thing with cravings you don't say 1167 00:45:07,650 --> 00:45:11,730 okay I'm gonna take a little bit because 1168 00:45:09,539 --> 00:45:14,099 it's gonna get worse yeah if you take 1169 00:45:11,730 --> 00:45:15,570 those cravings for and it applies to 1170 00:45:14,099 --> 00:45:18,659 everything so you have a craving for 1171 00:45:15,570 --> 00:45:21,570 sweets if you all of a sudden stop 1172 00:45:18,659 --> 00:45:24,029 eating sweets entirely those cravings 1173 00:45:21,570 --> 00:45:25,800 actually disappear so fasting is much 1174 00:45:24,030 --> 00:45:28,590 more powerful because if you have 1175 00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:30,840 cravings for bread and then you just 1176 00:45:28,590 --> 00:45:32,519 stop eating bread those cravings will 1177 00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:34,050 actually diminish whereas if you just 1178 00:45:32,519 --> 00:45:35,550 eat oh I'm just gonna eat a little bit 1179 00:45:34,050 --> 00:45:40,860 of bread all the time we're gluten free 1180 00:45:35,550 --> 00:45:42,870 bread low carb prayers not your way even 1181 00:45:40,860 --> 00:45:45,269 if you reduce the amount of bread that 1182 00:45:42,869 --> 00:45:47,909 you eat or sweets that you eat because 1183 00:45:45,269 --> 00:45:50,849 you have to take those sort of cravings 1184 00:45:47,909 --> 00:45:52,889 down to a zero level take the food down 1185 00:45:50,849 --> 00:45:55,799 to the zero level and then the cravings 1186 00:45:52,889 --> 00:45:57,839 disappear and that's the real power of 1187 00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:59,610 the intermittent fasting and also the 1188 00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:02,670 ketogenic diets for example so if you're 1189 00:45:59,610 --> 00:46:03,200 eating ultra low carb well after a while 1190 00:46:02,670 --> 00:46:04,909 you soon 1191 00:46:03,199 --> 00:46:07,939 to get used to it and those cravings for 1192 00:46:04,909 --> 00:46:09,769 the carbs go away and that's one of the 1193 00:46:07,940 --> 00:46:12,050 sort of keys to a lot of people's 1194 00:46:09,769 --> 00:46:13,969 success is that once they stop eating it 1195 00:46:12,050 --> 00:46:16,160 they find that they don't really need it 1196 00:46:13,969 --> 00:46:17,809 but if you eat it sometimes you're gonna 1197 00:46:16,159 --> 00:46:20,509 get those cravings right back they come 1198 00:46:17,809 --> 00:46:21,769 right back and and sort of knowing this 1199 00:46:20,510 --> 00:46:25,130 is important because then you can say 1200 00:46:21,769 --> 00:46:26,960 well you can now use this information to 1201 00:46:25,130 --> 00:46:29,059 your advantage because if you know you 1202 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:31,190 have this sort of addictive behavior and 1203 00:46:29,059 --> 00:46:34,009 so on you can use these to get rid of 1204 00:46:31,190 --> 00:46:37,039 your cravings at the same time do 1205 00:46:34,010 --> 00:46:38,630 something which is very healthy and you 1206 00:46:37,039 --> 00:46:41,630 know has all these other benefits in 1207 00:46:38,630 --> 00:46:43,910 terms of protein breakdown and at off of 1208 00:46:41,630 --> 00:46:45,440 G and all these other things yeah and 1209 00:46:43,909 --> 00:46:47,838 that and that's the real key is the 1210 00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:49,309 having that knowledge allows you to sort 1211 00:46:47,838 --> 00:46:51,739 of say okay well I'm gonna do this I'm 1212 00:46:49,309 --> 00:46:54,500 gonna do this and this is getting back 1213 00:46:51,739 --> 00:46:59,629 to what I was saying is that to me 1214 00:46:54,500 --> 00:47:02,389 weight loss is really about sort of two 1215 00:46:59,630 --> 00:47:04,099 things what you eat and when you eat and 1216 00:47:02,389 --> 00:47:05,480 sort of we talked endlessly and then to 1217 00:47:04,099 --> 00:47:08,150 see about the what to eat but the when 1218 00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:11,150 to eat is sort of completely ignored so 1219 00:47:08,150 --> 00:47:13,250 if you ignore sort of like this huge 1220 00:47:11,150 --> 00:47:15,318 sort of fifty or sixty percent of the 1221 00:47:13,250 --> 00:47:17,690 problem you're gonna fail because you're 1222 00:47:15,318 --> 00:47:19,550 not addressing it because we've gone 1223 00:47:17,690 --> 00:47:22,338 from eating sort of three times a day to 1224 00:47:19,550 --> 00:47:26,269 somewhere around six to ten times a day 1225 00:47:22,338 --> 00:47:27,858 and we think it's good for you right you 1226 00:47:26,269 --> 00:47:29,630 see this all the time and the question 1227 00:47:27,858 --> 00:47:31,909 is where did this advice that you have 1228 00:47:29,630 --> 00:47:33,829 to eat all the time come from food 1229 00:47:31,909 --> 00:47:35,568 industry you know fitness and is up 1230 00:47:33,829 --> 00:47:37,730 there it sure didn't come from the 1231 00:47:35,568 --> 00:47:39,739 doctors because no doctor I know has 1232 00:47:37,730 --> 00:47:41,659 ever found any study that proves that 1233 00:47:39,739 --> 00:47:43,639 eating six or eight times a day is good 1234 00:47:41,659 --> 00:47:47,690 for you and nobody in the history of 1235 00:47:43,639 --> 00:47:51,710 humanity has ever done that because they 1236 00:47:47,690 --> 00:47:54,079 have work to do yeah yeah feels you have 1237 00:47:51,710 --> 00:47:56,690 to go you know plow the fields you're 1238 00:47:54,079 --> 00:47:58,910 not spending all your time eating and 1239 00:47:56,690 --> 00:48:00,889 yet we think that we shouldn't go more 1240 00:47:58,909 --> 00:48:02,509 than a couple of hours without stuffing 1241 00:48:00,889 --> 00:48:04,670 cookies in our mouths and we teach our 1242 00:48:02,510 --> 00:48:07,099 children this yeah you should look at my 1243 00:48:04,670 --> 00:48:09,639 son schedule I mean not anymore but when 1244 00:48:07,099 --> 00:48:12,500 they were in like grade school and so on 1245 00:48:09,639 --> 00:48:15,348 eat breakfast in the middle of morning a 1246 00:48:12,500 --> 00:48:16,559 couple cookies or something lunch after 1247 00:48:15,349 --> 00:48:19,380 school those 1248 00:48:16,559 --> 00:48:21,299 you know fruit or something dinner and 1249 00:48:19,380 --> 00:48:23,940 then you go to soccer and oh in between 1250 00:48:21,300 --> 00:48:27,150 the hands Oh another granola bar like 1251 00:48:23,940 --> 00:48:29,730 come on you know I used to go out and 1252 00:48:27,150 --> 00:48:32,130 play after dinner and it's like you 1253 00:48:29,730 --> 00:48:33,659 didn't eat you're busy playing you 1254 00:48:32,130 --> 00:48:35,309 didn't have to you don't need to stop to 1255 00:48:33,659 --> 00:48:37,170 eat and so you didn't eat anything from 1256 00:48:35,309 --> 00:48:39,690 dinner until at least breakfast the next 1257 00:48:37,170 --> 00:48:41,280 day if you eat breakfast yeah I deal 1258 00:48:39,690 --> 00:48:42,840 with that with my daughter right now and 1259 00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,670 it seems that there's always a birthday 1260 00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:47,100 party some special event and it's always 1261 00:48:44,670 --> 00:48:48,450 sugar-based foods yeah my topic for 1262 00:48:47,099 --> 00:48:50,159 another conversation but you know I 1263 00:48:48,449 --> 00:48:51,929 think it's really you know kind of 1264 00:48:50,159 --> 00:48:53,699 fascinating about the ladies you know 1265 00:48:51,929 --> 00:48:55,799 that ghrelin spike and so forth and 1266 00:48:53,699 --> 00:48:57,599 going back to that just completely I 1267 00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:59,700 don't having you know my problem with 1268 00:48:57,599 --> 00:49:01,500 diet foods is there's the Paleo Donuts 1269 00:48:59,699 --> 00:49:04,379 the low-carb donuts and all this stuff 1270 00:49:01,500 --> 00:49:06,199 is emerging for people and like you said 1271 00:49:04,380 --> 00:49:08,910 the addition is a kick the habit 1272 00:49:06,199 --> 00:49:10,710 obviously we need to enjoy life too and 1273 00:49:08,909 --> 00:49:12,539 have a little you know food periodically 1274 00:49:10,710 --> 00:49:14,760 but um you know one whatever advise a 1275 00:49:12,539 --> 00:49:17,579 heroin addict just take a small little 1276 00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:19,290 hit yeah okay just a small like they 1277 00:49:17,579 --> 00:49:21,059 have to go cold turkey so that's kind of 1278 00:49:19,289 --> 00:49:23,279 an interesting yeah and and and again 1279 00:49:21,059 --> 00:49:25,289 the the key is understanding that 1280 00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:27,930 there's a difference between these sort 1281 00:49:25,289 --> 00:49:30,059 of carbohydrate insulin hypothesis and 1282 00:49:27,929 --> 00:49:32,099 the insulin hypothesis the instant 1283 00:49:30,059 --> 00:49:33,389 hypothesis says that insulin is one of 1284 00:49:32,099 --> 00:49:35,789 the key regulators of 1285 00:49:33,389 --> 00:49:39,779 body weight which i think is true what's 1286 00:49:35,789 --> 00:49:42,449 not true is that carbs are the only sort 1287 00:49:39,780 --> 00:49:46,440 of input into that system and that's 1288 00:49:42,449 --> 00:49:48,899 where a lot of people get into these 1289 00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:50,909 debates because it's like can you eat 1290 00:49:48,900 --> 00:49:54,110 high carb foods and still have low 1291 00:49:50,909 --> 00:49:57,299 insulin absolutely so you go back to the 1292 00:49:54,110 --> 00:50:00,450 Okinawan for example they're eating 65% 1293 00:49:57,300 --> 00:50:02,789 sweet potato diets there there's no 1294 00:50:00,449 --> 00:50:05,250 obesity whatsoever you go to the Kitab 1295 00:50:02,789 --> 00:50:07,679 and they're eating sort of 65 70 percent 1296 00:50:05,250 --> 00:50:10,019 carbohydrates their serum insulin levels 1297 00:50:07,679 --> 00:50:12,419 are like five percentile compared to a 1298 00:50:10,019 --> 00:50:15,269 Swedish population no obesity 1299 00:50:12,420 --> 00:50:16,980 well why is that well a big part of it 1300 00:50:15,269 --> 00:50:20,099 is that you're not eating all the time 1301 00:50:16,980 --> 00:50:22,409 so even though you're eating cassava and 1302 00:50:20,099 --> 00:50:26,489 root vegetables and all this and you got 1303 00:50:22,409 --> 00:50:29,629 to remember again in the 1980s in China 1304 00:50:26,489 --> 00:50:32,629 all white rice and vegetables 1305 00:50:29,630 --> 00:50:35,180 eating 10 times a day there's like 1306 00:50:32,630 --> 00:50:37,700 almost no sugar in that diet there's a 1307 00:50:35,179 --> 00:50:39,679 lot of carbohydrates so there's you can 1308 00:50:37,699 --> 00:50:40,969 look at the the Chinese and some people 1309 00:50:39,679 --> 00:50:42,199 say oh they're eating brown rice they're 1310 00:50:40,969 --> 00:50:43,730 not eating brown rice like I have 1311 00:50:42,199 --> 00:50:47,710 relatives from there everybody's eating 1312 00:50:43,730 --> 00:50:50,329 white rice it's all refined grains but 1313 00:50:47,710 --> 00:50:53,059 they're not eating all the time they're 1314 00:50:50,329 --> 00:50:54,889 eating very little sugar like almost 1315 00:50:53,059 --> 00:50:56,090 zero sugar and I think you know for 1316 00:50:54,889 --> 00:50:58,670 different reasons 1317 00:50:56,090 --> 00:51:00,559 sugar is much much much more fattening 1318 00:50:58,670 --> 00:51:02,630 than any other carbohydrate out there 1319 00:51:00,559 --> 00:51:05,269 and this is even though you get no 1320 00:51:02,630 --> 00:51:06,860 insulin effect of fructose so fructose 1321 00:51:05,269 --> 00:51:09,469 has no insulin of fact that has no 1322 00:51:06,860 --> 00:51:11,599 glycemic index of fact so people used to 1323 00:51:09,469 --> 00:51:13,759 think it's great but it's actually very 1324 00:51:11,599 --> 00:51:16,239 very bad for you and I think it's sort 1325 00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:19,490 of like 20 times as fattening as say 1326 00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:22,189 Brad which has sort of glucose as 1327 00:51:19,489 --> 00:51:25,129 opposed to the Frog dose mm-hmm 1328 00:51:22,190 --> 00:51:28,250 so there's no sugar in that they're not 1329 00:51:25,130 --> 00:51:29,750 eating all the time there's no you know 1330 00:51:28,250 --> 00:51:32,809 there's there's all these other sort of 1331 00:51:29,750 --> 00:51:34,730 mitigating factors that keep their 1332 00:51:32,809 --> 00:51:36,949 insulin low so you can eat a low fat 1333 00:51:34,730 --> 00:51:38,510 diet you can eat a high fat diet and 1334 00:51:36,949 --> 00:51:39,949 still keep your insulin low and we see 1335 00:51:38,510 --> 00:51:42,080 this in traditional societies all over 1336 00:51:39,949 --> 00:51:44,539 the world there are societies that are 1337 00:51:42,079 --> 00:51:46,730 based on eating meat and they do fine 1338 00:51:44,539 --> 00:51:49,070 and there's societies that are based on 1339 00:51:46,730 --> 00:51:51,559 eating white rice like China and they're 1340 00:51:49,070 --> 00:51:54,650 doing fine obesity wise obesity and type 1341 00:51:51,559 --> 00:51:56,840 2 diabetes but yet they're widely vary 1342 00:51:54,650 --> 00:51:58,910 in terms of their macronutrients so I 1343 00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:00,530 should never tell people to eat you know 1344 00:51:58,909 --> 00:52:01,909 to watch the macronutrient I don't think 1345 00:52:00,530 --> 00:52:03,560 it's that important but you have to 1346 00:52:01,909 --> 00:52:06,289 always keep in mind the insulin effect 1347 00:52:03,559 --> 00:52:09,170 and a huge part of that is sort of 1348 00:52:06,289 --> 00:52:12,590 frequency of eating and getting that way 1349 00:52:09,170 --> 00:52:14,389 down so if three per day is sort of what 1350 00:52:12,590 --> 00:52:17,030 people have traditionally done and done 1351 00:52:14,389 --> 00:52:18,710 fairly well with that well that's pretty 1352 00:52:17,030 --> 00:52:21,590 good but if you've been eating 10 a day 1353 00:52:18,710 --> 00:52:22,970 for the last 10 years going back to 3 a 1354 00:52:21,590 --> 00:52:24,880 day is not gonna cut it you're not gonna 1355 00:52:22,969 --> 00:52:28,369 lose weight like that you got to go 1356 00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:31,789 lower than 3 to make up for those surger 1357 00:52:28,369 --> 00:52:34,880 10 yeah years of 10 a day and and and 1358 00:52:31,789 --> 00:52:36,320 you know just like the you know and this 1359 00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:38,809 is where the calories thing in the 1360 00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:39,830 insulin thing really overlaps because 1361 00:52:38,809 --> 00:52:42,949 again 1362 00:52:39,829 --> 00:52:46,219 anything you eat assuming it's a blend 1363 00:52:42,949 --> 00:52:48,500 of the three macronutrients is going to 1364 00:52:46,219 --> 00:52:50,269 stimulate insulin to some effect and 1365 00:52:48,500 --> 00:52:51,969 it's gonna have some calories so there 1366 00:52:50,269 --> 00:52:55,909 is going to be an overlap between 1367 00:52:51,969 --> 00:52:57,409 calories and insulin effect so that's 1368 00:52:55,909 --> 00:52:58,730 where the confusion comes in because 1369 00:52:57,409 --> 00:53:00,619 people say oh it's just all about 1370 00:52:58,730 --> 00:53:01,969 calories like it's not about calories 1371 00:53:00,619 --> 00:53:06,230 there's nothing to do with calories but 1372 00:53:01,969 --> 00:53:08,750 there's an overlap between the two but 1373 00:53:06,230 --> 00:53:11,570 what when you look at Islan what you say 1374 00:53:08,750 --> 00:53:14,150 is that a hundred calories of certain 1375 00:53:11,570 --> 00:53:16,400 foods are more fattening than hundred 1376 00:53:14,150 --> 00:53:18,139 calories of other foods which is sort of 1377 00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:20,510 common sense and what your grandmother 1378 00:53:18,139 --> 00:53:22,489 sort of would have told you like she's 1379 00:53:20,510 --> 00:53:24,680 not gonna say oh you know eat cookies 1380 00:53:22,489 --> 00:53:27,109 and for dinner and I've seen this advice 1381 00:53:24,679 --> 00:53:29,210 given help by doctors so if you want 1382 00:53:27,110 --> 00:53:31,190 cookies and ice cream eat it instead of 1383 00:53:29,210 --> 00:53:34,490 dinner and you'll be fine oh my god God 1384 00:53:31,190 --> 00:53:36,079 yeah no clue because you can't hear you 1385 00:53:34,489 --> 00:53:38,299 can go or that physiology I mean there's 1386 00:53:36,079 --> 00:53:42,159 a whole thing to do a satiety for 1387 00:53:38,300 --> 00:53:44,870 example remember that as you eat foods 1388 00:53:42,159 --> 00:53:47,179 you're gonna activate certain satiety 1389 00:53:44,869 --> 00:53:49,579 signal so if you go to the buffet and 1390 00:53:47,179 --> 00:53:52,429 you eat like a lot like way too much and 1391 00:53:49,579 --> 00:53:54,349 then you try and eat a couple more pork 1392 00:53:52,429 --> 00:53:56,029 chops it's like you'll never do it you 1393 00:53:54,349 --> 00:53:58,150 can't do it you can't force the pork 1394 00:53:56,030 --> 00:54:01,070 chop down but if you're to eat some 1395 00:53:58,150 --> 00:54:04,539 cookie you could easily do that there 1396 00:54:01,070 --> 00:54:07,130 were no time for cookies exactly because 1397 00:54:04,539 --> 00:54:09,019 there's no satiety effect of those 1398 00:54:07,130 --> 00:54:12,079 highly refined grains the sugar the 1399 00:54:09,019 --> 00:54:14,630 fructose you're gonna get the calories 1400 00:54:12,079 --> 00:54:16,460 you're gonna get the insulin effect but 1401 00:54:14,630 --> 00:54:18,829 you're not gonna get any sort of satiety 1402 00:54:16,460 --> 00:54:21,199 effect yeah that's why I used to think 1403 00:54:18,829 --> 00:54:23,299 it's very strange because you can eaten 1404 00:54:21,199 --> 00:54:25,579 lunch in this guy I used to think this 1405 00:54:23,300 --> 00:54:27,380 is a kid actually it's very strange that 1406 00:54:25,579 --> 00:54:30,259 you can eat lunch or you can eat lunch 1407 00:54:27,380 --> 00:54:32,450 with a big soda and you'll feel exactly 1408 00:54:30,260 --> 00:54:35,540 the same in terms of fullness but you've 1409 00:54:32,449 --> 00:54:37,579 taken a lot more calories when you drink 1410 00:54:35,539 --> 00:54:40,279 that big soda it's like I wonder why I 1411 00:54:37,579 --> 00:54:42,529 you know you think of for 2,000 calories 1412 00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:45,170 I should feel the same amount of fall no 1413 00:54:42,530 --> 00:54:46,850 it's completely different and this is 1414 00:54:45,170 --> 00:54:48,849 the thing with natural foods is that 1415 00:54:46,849 --> 00:54:52,719 they have natural satiety Meck 1416 00:54:48,849 --> 00:54:55,960 so if you eat a lot of beans which is 1417 00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:57,309 all carbohydrates while you'll stretch 1418 00:54:55,960 --> 00:55:00,340 your stomach you'll activate stretch 1419 00:54:57,309 --> 00:55:02,769 receptors if you eat a lot of steak 1420 00:55:00,340 --> 00:55:04,329 you're going to activate peptide YY 1421 00:55:02,769 --> 00:55:07,179 which is for protein you're gonna 1422 00:55:04,329 --> 00:55:08,710 activate in cretons which is for you 1423 00:55:07,179 --> 00:55:10,329 know another satiety signal you're gonna 1424 00:55:08,710 --> 00:55:11,559 activate cholecystokinin which is a 1425 00:55:10,329 --> 00:55:13,420 satiety signal 1426 00:55:11,559 --> 00:55:15,250 you're gonna activate the vagus nerve 1427 00:55:13,420 --> 00:55:16,300 also in terms of stretch receptors so 1428 00:55:15,250 --> 00:55:18,699 you can eat something which is very 1429 00:55:16,300 --> 00:55:20,680 bulky and feel full or you can eat 1430 00:55:18,699 --> 00:55:22,599 something that's very not bulky and feel 1431 00:55:20,679 --> 00:55:25,239 full because we have natural satiety 1432 00:55:22,599 --> 00:55:30,489 mechanisms and this is part of you know 1433 00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:31,899 human physiology because our our we 1434 00:55:30,489 --> 00:55:33,909 don't want to die like we don't want to 1435 00:55:31,900 --> 00:55:36,730 stuff ourselves so much like you hear 1436 00:55:33,909 --> 00:55:38,589 these arguments that oh you know we're 1437 00:55:36,730 --> 00:55:40,090 genetically programmed to get fat we 1438 00:55:38,590 --> 00:55:42,730 just eat everything in front of our face 1439 00:55:40,090 --> 00:55:44,320 it was like you try eating that 60 ounce 1440 00:55:42,730 --> 00:55:45,400 steak that you'll get for free if you 1441 00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:47,410 eat in an hour 1442 00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:50,349 they're not going out of business any 1443 00:55:47,409 --> 00:55:53,139 time soon because there's powerful 1444 00:55:50,349 --> 00:55:56,230 satiety mechanisms but processing does 1445 00:55:53,139 --> 00:55:58,719 is it removes all that so you take flour 1446 00:55:56,230 --> 00:56:00,969 so if you're to eat carbohydrates like 1447 00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:02,439 beans you're gonna get full even rice 1448 00:56:00,969 --> 00:56:05,619 you're gonna get full but not as full as 1449 00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:08,619 you might think but now you take flour 1450 00:56:05,619 --> 00:56:10,389 you take out all the fats you take out 1451 00:56:08,619 --> 00:56:12,190 all the protein because the fat goes 1452 00:56:10,389 --> 00:56:14,799 rancid so you don't want to cook rancid 1453 00:56:12,190 --> 00:56:16,869 so if you take out all the fat you take 1454 00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:19,360 out all the protein you cut down a lot 1455 00:56:16,869 --> 00:56:21,549 of the bulk of the fiber well you've 1456 00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:23,500 just lost three satiety signals 1457 00:56:21,550 --> 00:56:26,620 you've lost those stretch receptors in 1458 00:56:23,500 --> 00:56:29,050 the stomach you've lost the the protein 1459 00:56:26,619 --> 00:56:32,170 satiety signals and you've lost the fat 1460 00:56:29,050 --> 00:56:34,180 satiety signals then you grind it into a 1461 00:56:32,170 --> 00:56:36,639 fine powder because you know flour when 1462 00:56:34,179 --> 00:56:38,319 you throw it up it's very fine you grind 1463 00:56:36,639 --> 00:56:41,589 it into a fine powder then it gets 1464 00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:43,360 absorbed super fast so just like okay 1465 00:56:41,590 --> 00:56:45,760 and the reason people grind it up is so 1466 00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:47,470 that they can get that massive high so 1467 00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:50,310 now you grind it up you get this massive 1468 00:56:47,469 --> 00:56:54,369 high when you're eating your white bread 1469 00:56:50,309 --> 00:56:57,009 now okay so it's fine for a bit and then 1470 00:56:54,369 --> 00:56:59,199 two hours later it crashes because 1471 00:56:57,010 --> 00:57:01,660 you've just gone spiked up and spiked 1472 00:56:59,199 --> 00:57:03,788 down and then you want to eat a 1473 00:57:01,659 --> 00:57:05,379 muffin because you had that bagel in the 1474 00:57:03,789 --> 00:57:07,390 morning and it's all gone now because 1475 00:57:05,380 --> 00:57:09,460 it's gone up and down so that's where 1476 00:57:07,389 --> 00:57:14,618 the processing is completely different 1477 00:57:09,460 --> 00:57:17,588 as opposed to say even like a potato if 1478 00:57:14,619 --> 00:57:19,838 you need a baked potato it's pretty 1479 00:57:17,588 --> 00:57:22,719 filling like hard over you does yeah 1480 00:57:19,838 --> 00:57:24,880 it's pretty hard I mean when you process 1481 00:57:22,719 --> 00:57:26,919 it when you do things like potato chips 1482 00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:31,088 and stuff in that deep fryer and that's 1483 00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:33,700 alright yeah it changes things yeah but 1484 00:57:31,088 --> 00:57:35,349 it's pretty difficult to eat to overeat 1485 00:57:33,699 --> 00:57:38,788 a boiled potato like people have put 1486 00:57:35,349 --> 00:57:42,369 gone on these potato diets and III 1487 00:57:38,789 --> 00:57:44,079 potatoes sometimes it's pretty filling 1488 00:57:42,369 --> 00:57:45,970 like that's why this whole meat and 1489 00:57:44,079 --> 00:57:48,760 potatoes you know sort of thing is 1490 00:57:45,969 --> 00:57:51,098 because the me the potato is actually 1491 00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:53,380 one of the highest foods on the satiety 1492 00:57:51,099 --> 00:57:55,269 index so if you eat a potato calorie for 1493 00:57:53,380 --> 00:57:56,769 calorie you will feel more full than 1494 00:57:55,269 --> 00:57:59,949 virtually anything else 1495 00:57:56,769 --> 00:58:02,759 hmm it's hard to overeat boiled potatoes 1496 00:57:59,949 --> 00:58:05,500 yeah baked potatoes is kind of similar 1497 00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:07,930 it's it's pretty hard to overeat that 1498 00:58:05,500 --> 00:58:09,639 but again you're activating natural 1499 00:58:07,929 --> 00:58:11,980 satiety mechanisms like the potato is 1500 00:58:09,639 --> 00:58:14,078 pretty big it's it's gonna fill up it's 1501 00:58:11,980 --> 00:58:16,690 gonna activate these other stretch 1502 00:58:14,079 --> 00:58:18,309 receptors it has it's almost all starch 1503 00:58:16,690 --> 00:58:20,230 so there's very little fat very little 1504 00:58:18,309 --> 00:58:22,329 protein but it's gonna activate other 1505 00:58:20,230 --> 00:58:24,250 things so the Irish for example ate tons 1506 00:58:22,329 --> 00:58:26,559 of potatoes didn't have much of a 1507 00:58:24,250 --> 00:58:27,880 problem until recently until the 70s 1508 00:58:26,559 --> 00:58:30,400 just like everybody else 1509 00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:35,349 so there's there's a lot of things so 1510 00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:36,608 yes there's carbohydrates but what's 1511 00:58:35,349 --> 00:58:40,660 really important is the insulin because 1512 00:58:36,608 --> 00:58:43,750 you can eat a sort of low fat diet high 1513 00:58:40,659 --> 00:58:45,608 in carbohydrates and still have low 1514 00:58:43,750 --> 00:58:47,440 insulin levels and still have very 1515 00:58:45,608 --> 00:58:49,389 little B C and that that wasn't what 1516 00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:52,059 came out in the diet fit studied so this 1517 00:58:49,389 --> 00:58:54,429 was that study that Chris garner did a 1518 00:58:52,059 --> 00:58:56,589 couple of weeks ago I guess it got 1519 00:58:54,429 --> 00:58:58,358 released and what it showed was that if 1520 00:58:56,588 --> 00:58:59,949 you take people and put on a low fat 1521 00:58:58,358 --> 00:59:03,278 diet and a low carb diet they did 1522 00:58:59,949 --> 00:59:07,689 roughly equally but it wasn't just any 1523 00:59:03,278 --> 00:59:09,699 kind of low low fat diet it's not like 1524 00:59:07,690 --> 00:59:12,909 white bread and jam sort of thing it was 1525 00:59:09,699 --> 00:59:15,929 all unprocessed foods it was all and you 1526 00:59:12,909 --> 00:59:19,029 see that yaki had a period of 1527 00:59:15,929 --> 00:59:22,210 yeah yeah also you weren't supposed to 1528 00:59:19,030 --> 00:59:24,310 eat all the time yeah and there were 1529 00:59:22,210 --> 00:59:26,170 another farmers market yeah exactly 1530 00:59:24,309 --> 00:59:29,320 there's a whole lot of stuff in there it 1531 00:59:26,170 --> 00:59:32,200 wasn't like go out and eat some of some 1532 00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:34,809 pasta and white bread yeah it was this 1533 00:59:32,199 --> 00:59:37,359 sort of healthy sort of eat lots of 1534 00:59:34,809 --> 00:59:39,610 vegetables and you know there was a 1535 00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:41,110 whole lot of it and I was looking at 1536 00:59:39,610 --> 00:59:43,630 that study and I was thinking that's 1537 00:59:41,110 --> 00:59:45,519 exactly what we tell people you know 1538 00:59:43,630 --> 00:59:47,289 unprocessed foods because it's not 1539 00:59:45,519 --> 00:59:50,349 simply about the carbohydrates we have 1540 00:59:47,289 --> 00:59:52,210 to move past that you have to get into 1541 00:59:50,349 --> 00:59:55,239 this sort of insulin because that's the 1542 00:59:52,210 --> 00:59:58,030 sort of language the body speaks if 1543 00:59:55,239 --> 01:00:00,369 you're speaking about carbs and proteins 1544 00:59:58,030 --> 01:00:02,320 and stuff that's not really there's it's 1545 01:00:00,369 --> 01:00:04,449 closer to but it's not exactly the 1546 01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:07,030 language that the body understands the 1547 01:00:04,449 --> 01:00:09,759 body responds to signals which are 1548 01:00:07,030 --> 01:00:11,890 hormones so you wanna get your insulin 1549 01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:13,930 high the body's gonna gain weight well 1550 01:00:11,889 --> 01:00:15,789 you can eat a low fat diet you can eat 1551 01:00:13,929 --> 01:00:17,289 low carb diet and still have the same 1552 01:00:15,789 --> 01:00:19,360 effect on insulin so that's where I 1553 01:00:17,289 --> 01:00:21,699 differ from some of the people in terms 1554 01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:23,559 of the carb insulin hypothesis you can 1555 01:00:21,699 --> 01:00:25,599 eat a high protein diet for example all 1556 01:00:23,559 --> 01:00:27,789 meat diet you can do all of these things 1557 01:00:25,599 --> 01:00:29,799 and still get the same effect of low 1558 01:00:27,789 --> 01:00:31,719 insulin and therefore less obesity less 1559 01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:34,019 type-2 diabetes and that's where 1560 01:00:31,719 --> 01:00:36,909 understanding the sort of physiology 1561 01:00:34,019 --> 01:00:39,309 gets you around all these debates and 1562 01:00:36,909 --> 01:00:42,670 you know tries to understand why people 1563 01:00:39,309 --> 01:00:45,279 can eat different diets and still do 1564 01:00:42,670 --> 01:00:46,599 well and and that's the that's you know 1565 01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:48,760 that's what I try and bring out in the 1566 01:00:46,599 --> 01:00:53,289 books is sort of the science and the 1567 01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:54,940 understanding to do it yeah great I have 1568 01:00:53,289 --> 01:00:56,349 two examples of that definitely one dive 1569 01:00:54,940 --> 01:00:57,670 into insulin especially I didn't know 1570 01:00:56,349 --> 01:01:00,309 was discovered here in Toronto 1571 01:00:57,670 --> 01:01:02,349 yeah super fasting but you mentioned the 1572 01:01:00,309 --> 01:01:03,849 satiety signals at Whole Foods garner on 1573 01:01:02,349 --> 01:01:06,069 the body and they're kind of lost in the 1574 01:01:03,849 --> 01:01:07,119 processing of food and one example of a 1575 01:01:06,070 --> 01:01:09,789 remedy that you talk about 1576 01:01:07,119 --> 01:01:10,900 I personally am very interested in this 1577 01:01:09,789 --> 01:01:13,000 as well I've been studying it for a 1578 01:01:10,900 --> 01:01:14,920 while its gastric bypass or bariatric 1579 01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:16,449 surgery in the hormonal I'm not a fan of 1580 01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:18,820 the procedure saying that it's good for 1581 01:01:16,449 --> 01:01:20,919 weight loss but admiring the mechanism 1582 01:01:18,820 --> 01:01:23,920 of action through which gastric or 1583 01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:25,059 bariatric surgery affects insulin 1584 01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,680 resistance is really interesting you 1585 01:01:25,059 --> 01:01:28,239 take a full-blown insulin dependent type 1586 01:01:26,679 --> 01:01:29,769 2 diabetic as you know 1587 01:01:28,239 --> 01:01:30,848 12 hours after the procedure they don't 1588 01:01:29,769 --> 01:01:32,199 need insulin because they've got 1589 01:01:30,849 --> 01:01:34,599 hormones that you mentioned are 1590 01:01:32,199 --> 01:01:37,179 upregulated with whole real food are 1591 01:01:34,599 --> 01:01:39,670 super physiologic we up regular and so 1592 01:01:37,179 --> 01:01:43,329 yeah bariatric surgery is fascinating 1593 01:01:39,670 --> 01:01:45,250 because it's quite successful and people 1594 01:01:43,329 --> 01:01:47,199 used to say well why does it work 1595 01:01:45,250 --> 01:01:49,210 maybe it's because you cut out a big 1596 01:01:47,199 --> 01:01:51,159 swath of the stomach right you come in 1597 01:01:49,210 --> 01:01:52,510 with like 90% of the stomach and 1598 01:01:51,159 --> 01:01:55,420 therefore you can't produce certain 1599 01:01:52,510 --> 01:01:57,369 hormones well the problem with that is 1600 01:01:55,420 --> 01:01:59,050 that you can do gastric banding where 1601 01:01:57,369 --> 01:02:00,579 you put a sort of belt around the 1602 01:01:59,050 --> 01:02:02,920 stomach and cinch it really tight and 1603 01:02:00,579 --> 01:02:04,539 you get the same effect since you're not 1604 01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:08,440 cutting out any part of the stomach then 1605 01:02:04,539 --> 01:02:10,088 the benefits cannot be from from from 1606 01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:12,789 cutting out the stomach and the truth is 1607 01:02:10,088 --> 01:02:15,159 that the the effect is simply a severe 1608 01:02:12,789 --> 01:02:18,460 caloric restriction you're basically 1609 01:02:15,159 --> 01:02:21,039 putting them very close to fasting as 1610 01:02:18,460 --> 01:02:23,230 much as you possibly can for months at a 1611 01:02:21,039 --> 01:02:25,000 time I mean they're eating so little 1612 01:02:23,230 --> 01:02:27,190 that you're you might as well be fasting 1613 01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:28,510 so fasting you know the whole point is 1614 01:02:27,190 --> 01:02:30,010 to get your insulin down now you're not 1615 01:02:28,510 --> 01:02:31,839 eating you can't eat because they've cut 1616 01:02:30,010 --> 01:02:34,300 out all your stomach and they've rewired 1617 01:02:31,838 --> 01:02:35,769 your intestines so that you you know 1618 01:02:34,300 --> 01:02:37,810 even if you eat food it's not getting 1619 01:02:35,769 --> 01:02:39,699 absorbed well what's gonna happen well 1620 01:02:37,809 --> 01:02:41,650 instance gonna drop and I'm gonna keep 1621 01:02:39,699 --> 01:02:43,179 dropping so what's gonna happen is that 1622 01:02:41,650 --> 01:02:45,460 your body's gonna burn off all that 1623 01:02:43,179 --> 01:02:47,710 sugar or not the sugar diabetes goes 1624 01:02:45,460 --> 01:02:49,780 away bad as it burns off all that sugar 1625 01:02:47,710 --> 01:02:51,670 then it's gonna burn all that fat and 1626 01:02:49,780 --> 01:02:54,310 guess what the weight loss is very very 1627 01:02:51,670 --> 01:02:55,750 good so the mechanism is quite easy to 1628 01:02:54,309 --> 01:02:59,049 understand once you understand that it's 1629 01:02:55,750 --> 01:03:00,550 really about changing the insulin which 1630 01:02:59,050 --> 01:03:01,990 is the main hormone it's not the only 1631 01:03:00,550 --> 01:03:05,140 hormone that's responsible for weight 1632 01:03:01,989 --> 01:03:06,489 gain cortisol is another one but for the 1633 01:03:05,139 --> 01:03:07,989 most part it's about insulin so that 1634 01:03:06,489 --> 01:03:10,358 once you understand that you can see 1635 01:03:07,989 --> 01:03:11,889 this is why Bariatrics is so affected 1636 01:03:10,358 --> 01:03:14,108 and sometimes you say well this is 1637 01:03:11,889 --> 01:03:16,269 really just medical Bariatrics all these 1638 01:03:14,108 --> 01:03:18,909 fasting therapies is just medical 1639 01:03:16,269 --> 01:03:21,519 Bariatrics and and but it's not easy 1640 01:03:18,909 --> 01:03:25,000 it's not fun and that's really one of 1641 01:03:21,519 --> 01:03:27,130 the things that we try to do so we have 1642 01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:30,280 a program for this which is the 1643 01:03:27,130 --> 01:03:33,220 intensive dietary management program and 1644 01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:36,460 people can join and we have sort of so 1645 01:03:33,219 --> 01:03:38,439 the website is IDM program com 1646 01:03:36,460 --> 01:03:40,858 and if you know we put out a lot of 1647 01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:44,679 stuff for free like these sort of videos 1648 01:03:40,858 --> 01:03:46,509 and we do podcasts and blog I do weekly 1649 01:03:44,679 --> 01:03:49,239 blog post and there's lots of free stuff 1650 01:03:46,510 --> 01:03:50,830 and if people can just get the 1651 01:03:49,239 --> 01:03:53,379 information and there's the books either 1652 01:03:50,829 --> 01:03:54,639 that are very inexpensive or you can 1653 01:03:53,380 --> 01:03:57,160 take it from the library so there's a 1654 01:03:54,639 --> 01:03:58,719 lot of information out there but 1655 01:03:57,159 --> 01:04:01,920 sometimes people want a little bit more 1656 01:03:58,719 --> 01:04:04,088 guidance so what we've done is we've 1657 01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:06,338 provided sort of a little bit more 1658 01:04:04,088 --> 01:04:08,440 guidance question and the answers group 1659 01:04:06,338 --> 01:04:10,509 fast because again it's about building 1660 01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:11,200 this community of people who will help 1661 01:04:10,510 --> 01:04:13,839 each other 1662 01:04:11,199 --> 01:04:16,480 and that's one of the secrets of any 1663 01:04:13,838 --> 01:04:18,460 kind of behavior change is that you do 1664 01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:20,530 better in a group so whether you're 1665 01:04:18,460 --> 01:04:23,619 looking at Weight Watchers or Alcoholics 1666 01:04:20,530 --> 01:04:25,990 Anonymous the point is that changing 1667 01:04:23,619 --> 01:04:27,910 behaviors is difficult to do and if you 1668 01:04:25,989 --> 01:04:29,348 have people who will support you your 1669 01:04:27,909 --> 01:04:31,569 success rate is going to be much much 1670 01:04:29,349 --> 01:04:33,820 higher so we're trying to put together a 1671 01:04:31,570 --> 01:04:37,059 community in our membership program that 1672 01:04:33,820 --> 01:04:38,920 people can join for a fee and then get 1673 01:04:37,059 --> 01:04:40,389 the guidance from sort of trained 1674 01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:43,809 professionals that they need they get 1675 01:04:40,389 --> 01:04:45,279 the sort of extra extra help that they 1676 01:04:43,809 --> 01:04:47,289 need to do it if you can do it on your 1677 01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:49,089 own great but most people they get out 1678 01:04:47,289 --> 01:04:50,889 that they start fasting and then some 1679 01:04:49,088 --> 01:04:52,719 doctor tells them oh god you're gonna 1680 01:04:50,889 --> 01:04:55,179 kill yourself and then they're done and 1681 01:04:52,719 --> 01:04:57,159 then it's like oh but you know you could 1682 01:04:55,179 --> 01:04:59,588 have gained so much with it and then we 1683 01:04:57,159 --> 01:05:01,420 also have sort of an additional program 1684 01:04:59,588 --> 01:05:03,309 where people will provide sort of small 1685 01:05:01,420 --> 01:05:05,800 group sort of in groups of three or four 1686 01:05:03,309 --> 01:05:06,789 of course anytime you do that it's much 1687 01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:08,289 more expensive because you're getting 1688 01:05:06,789 --> 01:05:10,960 sort of personalized care but at least 1689 01:05:08,289 --> 01:05:13,150 it's available for you so there's we try 1690 01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:15,159 and provide sort of everything from the 1691 01:05:13,150 --> 01:05:18,160 free stuff to the books and the podcast 1692 01:05:15,159 --> 01:05:20,829 and you know the stuff we're doing here 1693 01:05:18,159 --> 01:05:23,199 the you know so that you know I hope 1694 01:05:20,829 --> 01:05:25,210 people can just listen and do it 1695 01:05:23,199 --> 01:05:27,159 themselves but hey if you if you need 1696 01:05:25,210 --> 01:05:28,809 some help or we're also here we can give 1697 01:05:27,159 --> 01:05:31,629 you more help if you need it the 1698 01:05:28,809 --> 01:05:33,460 membership site is $39 a month I think 1699 01:05:31,630 --> 01:05:35,680 and it's like we do these group files 1700 01:05:33,460 --> 01:05:38,230 which are very popular so that people 1701 01:05:35,679 --> 01:05:39,879 fast all together for three or four days 1702 01:05:38,230 --> 01:05:42,099 and it's not necessarily you do the full 1703 01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:44,349 four days maybe you do a 24-hour fast 1704 01:05:42,099 --> 01:05:45,850 for three days or 1705 01:05:44,349 --> 01:05:48,909 but because you're doing it with a group 1706 01:05:45,849 --> 01:05:51,369 of sort of supportive people it's easier 1707 01:05:48,909 --> 01:05:53,049 and then you get the benefit and and in 1708 01:05:51,369 --> 01:05:54,969 school we understand this we call it 1709 01:05:53,050 --> 01:05:58,539 peer pressure and it's got a negative 1710 01:05:54,969 --> 01:06:00,159 connotation in as adults it's called 1711 01:05:58,539 --> 01:06:01,509 peer support because it's like we're 1712 01:06:00,159 --> 01:06:03,579 trying to change behavior and you're 1713 01:06:01,510 --> 01:06:06,340 joining a group to get the support that 1714 01:06:03,579 --> 01:06:08,619 you need and guess what it's like very 1715 01:06:06,340 --> 01:06:10,809 very important it's it's actually like 1716 01:06:08,619 --> 01:06:12,400 it sounds like it's it's one of these 1717 01:06:10,809 --> 01:06:14,500 kind of throw away things but it's 1718 01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:15,849 actually as we started doing our program 1719 01:06:14,500 --> 01:06:18,760 we've been doing it for about five years 1720 01:06:15,849 --> 01:06:20,679 now that was one of the sort of keys to 1721 01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:22,570 success was getting people into the 1722 01:06:20,679 --> 01:06:24,699 small groups and into the bigger groups 1723 01:06:22,570 --> 01:06:27,160 where people can talk about fasting 1724 01:06:24,699 --> 01:06:30,879 without getting laughed at essentially 1725 01:06:27,159 --> 01:06:32,829 and that's been very important and then 1726 01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:35,050 I realized of course that's the whole 1727 01:06:32,829 --> 01:06:37,989 secret of Weight Watchers or the biggest 1728 01:06:35,050 --> 01:06:38,980 Oprah led company now but their diets 1729 01:06:37,989 --> 01:06:41,169 nothing special 1730 01:06:38,980 --> 01:06:43,000 it's a decent-enough diet but you could 1731 01:06:41,170 --> 01:06:45,670 have gotten that diet anywhere right you 1732 01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:48,489 could have gone to any book and gotten 1733 01:06:45,670 --> 01:06:51,880 that diet the secret sauce was the peer 1734 01:06:48,489 --> 01:06:53,889 support Alcoholics Anonymous again peer 1735 01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:55,570 support being out there and we're 1736 01:06:53,889 --> 01:06:57,969 fighting such a big fight because the 1737 01:06:55,570 --> 01:07:01,090 the conventional dietary advice is to 1738 01:06:57,969 --> 01:07:04,599 eat sort of eight ten times a day eat 1739 01:07:01,090 --> 01:07:06,579 these low fat foods so we're sort of 1740 01:07:04,599 --> 01:07:08,710 swimming upstream in terms of our advice 1741 01:07:06,579 --> 01:07:11,049 because we generally advise people to 1742 01:07:08,710 --> 01:07:13,659 eat sort of whole unprocessed real foods 1743 01:07:11,050 --> 01:07:15,580 often low carbs or not necessarily and 1744 01:07:13,659 --> 01:07:17,649 then intermittent fasting whether it's 1745 01:07:15,579 --> 01:07:19,779 less than a day or more than a day and 1746 01:07:17,650 --> 01:07:22,539 that's where people it gets people's 1747 01:07:19,780 --> 01:07:24,940 kind of goat up is that the in term in 1748 01:07:22,539 --> 01:07:27,400 fasting really scares a lot of these 1749 01:07:24,940 --> 01:07:29,050 people and then they get scared out of 1750 01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:30,760 it right away they don't have that peer 1751 01:07:29,050 --> 01:07:33,340 support so we're trying to build that in 1752 01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:35,050 into our program and if that's what you 1753 01:07:33,340 --> 01:07:38,559 need you know we're hopefully providing 1754 01:07:35,050 --> 01:07:40,060 it at a fairly reasonable price I mean 1755 01:07:38,559 --> 01:07:43,840 if you're if you're skipping a meal I 1756 01:07:40,059 --> 01:07:45,880 mean that that's like the cost of you're 1757 01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:48,730 gonna come out ahead if you do that 1758 01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:49,990 totally that's awesome IDM program comm 1759 01:07:48,730 --> 01:07:51,550 program 1760 01:07:49,989 --> 01:07:53,229 the show notes in blue this video and 1761 01:07:51,550 --> 01:07:54,490 then let's kind of finish off on the 1762 01:07:53,230 --> 01:07:56,650 book a little bit a few things a few 1763 01:07:54,489 --> 01:07:59,109 that I remember like they're inked in my 1764 01:07:56,650 --> 01:08:01,450 head you can't fix a dietary disease 1765 01:07:59,110 --> 01:08:03,369 with medicine I might box out a little 1766 01:08:01,449 --> 01:08:05,019 bit but I think that's really important 1767 01:08:03,369 --> 01:08:07,809 because you know a lot of people don't 1768 01:08:05,019 --> 01:08:10,000 realize that traditional medical system 1769 01:08:07,809 --> 01:08:11,349 like the solution and for a lot of 1770 01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:13,929 traditionally trained practitioners is 1771 01:08:11,349 --> 01:08:14,980 insulin more and more insulin and what 1772 01:08:13,929 --> 01:08:19,210 happens when you get more and more 1773 01:08:14,980 --> 01:08:23,890 insulin yeah the problem is that type 2 1774 01:08:19,210 --> 01:08:29,020 diabetes is he really misunderstood 1775 01:08:23,890 --> 01:08:31,298 disease by the doctors then what they 1776 01:08:29,020 --> 01:08:34,390 don't understand is that they're 1777 01:08:31,298 --> 01:08:36,850 treating sort of the blood glucose well 1778 01:08:34,390 --> 01:08:39,368 so the blood glucose or blood sugar is 1779 01:08:36,850 --> 01:08:43,509 high so they try and get it down if you 1780 01:08:39,368 --> 01:08:46,328 give insulin well does that get rid of 1781 01:08:43,509 --> 01:08:48,578 the sugar and the answer is no you 1782 01:08:46,328 --> 01:08:52,269 simply the insulin takes that sugar 1783 01:08:48,578 --> 01:08:54,368 it simply crams it into your liver okay 1784 01:08:52,270 --> 01:08:56,560 and then liver turns it into factor de 1785 01:08:54,368 --> 01:08:59,288 novo lipogenesis or sends that sugars 1786 01:08:56,560 --> 01:09:01,839 everywhere else so sugar goes into your 1787 01:08:59,288 --> 01:09:04,238 eyes and your liver into your nerves 1788 01:09:01,837 --> 01:09:07,600 into your legs into your heart and what 1789 01:09:04,238 --> 01:09:09,969 happens well what happens over decades 1790 01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:11,560 is that as you keep cramming the sugar 1791 01:09:09,970 --> 01:09:13,060 from that blood you had excess trigger 1792 01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:14,529 in the blood you never got rid of it but 1793 01:09:13,060 --> 01:09:17,080 you took insulin to cram it into your 1794 01:09:14,529 --> 01:09:19,479 body your body sort of just blows up 1795 01:09:17,078 --> 01:09:23,318 with way too much sugar and then every 1796 01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:25,118 part of your Anatomy just rots so you're 1797 01:09:23,319 --> 01:09:27,220 gonna go blind and you get heart attacks 1798 01:09:25,118 --> 01:09:29,198 you get strokes and get nerve damage and 1799 01:09:27,220 --> 01:09:30,729 get amputations you get diabetic foot 1800 01:09:29,198 --> 01:09:33,189 infections and it's like why do 1801 01:09:30,729 --> 01:09:36,189 diabetics get infections that nobody 1802 01:09:33,189 --> 01:09:38,078 else in the whole world gets go is there 1803 01:09:36,189 --> 01:09:40,000 sugar there's so much sugar sitting 1804 01:09:38,078 --> 01:09:42,488 around in that foot then you get 1805 01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:46,509 infections like yeast infections that 1806 01:09:42,488 --> 01:09:49,568 love the sugar and it's crazy because 1807 01:09:46,509 --> 01:09:51,779 what it means is that type 2 diabetes is 1808 01:09:49,569 --> 01:09:54,789 essentially being treated completely 1809 01:09:51,779 --> 01:09:57,070 incorrectly we're treating the blood 1810 01:09:54,789 --> 01:10:00,220 glucose so we know the blood glucose is 1811 01:09:57,069 --> 01:10:02,289 high because of the type 2 diabetes but 1812 01:10:00,220 --> 01:10:05,470 the blood glucose is not the disease 1813 01:10:02,289 --> 01:10:08,170 the symptom so if you treat the symptom 1814 01:10:05,470 --> 01:10:09,490 but don't treat the disease then you're 1815 01:10:08,170 --> 01:10:11,859 not going to get anywhere it's 1816 01:10:09,489 --> 01:10:14,439 symptomatic treatment and that's the 1817 01:10:11,859 --> 01:10:16,449 real problem we are treating the symptom 1818 01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:18,879 and pretending like that's the real 1819 01:10:16,449 --> 01:10:21,069 disease so yes we got the blood glucose 1820 01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:23,140 down have you treated the type 2 1821 01:10:21,069 --> 01:10:26,380 diabetes with your insulin and the 1822 01:10:23,140 --> 01:10:28,000 answer is no well everybody knows that 1823 01:10:26,380 --> 01:10:28,539 if you lose weight your diabetes gets 1824 01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:31,739 better 1825 01:10:28,539 --> 01:10:34,119 so insulin makes you gain weight so 1826 01:10:31,739 --> 01:10:36,729 right your diabetes not getting better 1827 01:10:34,119 --> 01:10:38,800 it's getting worse and the whole point 1828 01:10:36,729 --> 01:10:41,109 is that you simply can't take the sugar 1829 01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:42,520 in your blood and cram it away where you 1830 01:10:41,109 --> 01:10:45,609 can't see it and pretend you're better 1831 01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:49,180 you got to get rid of that sugar so in 1832 01:10:45,609 --> 01:10:51,789 essence the simplest way to understand 1833 01:10:49,180 --> 01:10:54,100 type-2 diabetes is that there's just too 1834 01:10:51,789 --> 01:10:57,039 much sugar in the body the body is 1835 01:10:54,100 --> 01:10:58,930 overfilled with sugar well if it's 1836 01:10:57,039 --> 01:11:00,819 overfilled with sugar then you just 1837 01:10:58,930 --> 01:11:03,520 gotta get rid of the sugar what do you 1838 01:11:00,819 --> 01:11:07,359 do 1 don't put more sugar in eat a low 1839 01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:10,530 carbohydrate diet and number 2 burn it 1840 01:11:07,359 --> 01:11:13,539 all off and that's intermittent fasting 1841 01:11:10,529 --> 01:11:16,960 so what we've done is we've taken this 1842 01:11:13,539 --> 01:11:18,720 dietary disease and instead of treating 1843 01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:21,369 the root cause of it which is the diet 1844 01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:23,289 we're eating too much too much 1845 01:11:21,369 --> 01:11:25,420 carbohydrates predominantly because we 1846 01:11:23,289 --> 01:11:28,630 were told to and we're eating too too 1847 01:11:25,420 --> 01:11:30,369 many times too frequently but what we've 1848 01:11:28,630 --> 01:11:34,329 done is instead of treating the actual 1849 01:11:30,369 --> 01:11:35,739 cause of it we tried to drug it we're 1850 01:11:34,329 --> 01:11:38,409 trying to drug these people back to 1851 01:11:35,739 --> 01:11:39,849 health then we're not treating what was 1852 01:11:38,409 --> 01:11:42,250 the actual problem in the first place 1853 01:11:39,850 --> 01:11:45,100 and then we wonder why is everybody 1854 01:11:42,250 --> 01:11:48,760 getting worse in the worst part is that 1855 01:11:45,100 --> 01:11:51,550 the answer that most specialist 1856 01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:53,590 researchers give is that type 2 diabetes 1857 01:11:51,550 --> 01:11:56,199 is just like that it's a chronic and 1858 01:11:53,590 --> 01:11:57,610 progressive disease it's like no it's 1859 01:11:56,199 --> 01:12:00,159 chronic and progressive because you 1860 01:11:57,609 --> 01:12:02,739 treated it completely wrong the disease 1861 01:12:00,159 --> 01:12:04,539 is actually reversible we know that 1862 01:12:02,739 --> 01:12:05,529 anybody who loses weight the diabetes 1863 01:12:04,539 --> 01:12:08,319 refers to as we knew that from 1864 01:12:05,529 --> 01:12:10,869 Bariatrics you can take the most severe 1865 01:12:08,319 --> 01:12:13,210 type 2 diabetic and within 2 weeks 1866 01:12:10,869 --> 01:12:14,159 they'll be off of all their insulin for 1867 01:12:13,210 --> 01:12:15,810 example 1868 01:12:14,159 --> 01:12:19,139 because they're basically burning it all 1869 01:12:15,810 --> 01:12:20,789 off because they're fasting it's not 1870 01:12:19,140 --> 01:12:22,710 really hard to understand if you don't 1871 01:12:20,789 --> 01:12:24,420 eat you're gonna burn off that sugar 1872 01:12:22,710 --> 01:12:25,649 your blood sugar will drop if your blood 1873 01:12:24,420 --> 01:12:27,449 sugar drops you don't need to take 1874 01:12:25,649 --> 01:12:29,250 insulin well that's not so hard to 1875 01:12:27,449 --> 01:12:31,970 understand but now you're dealing with 1876 01:12:29,250 --> 01:12:34,859 the actual problem of sugar overload as 1877 01:12:31,970 --> 01:12:38,750 opposed to trying to give more insulin 1878 01:12:34,859 --> 01:12:43,229 so here we have a situation which is 1879 01:12:38,750 --> 01:12:45,869 sort of mind-boggling that 99% of 1880 01:12:43,229 --> 01:12:49,139 diabetics type 2 diabetics in this 1881 01:12:45,869 --> 01:12:52,500 country in this world are actually being 1882 01:12:49,140 --> 01:12:55,230 treated I think completely incorrectly 1883 01:12:52,500 --> 01:12:55,920 and that's why since everybody's getting 1884 01:12:55,229 --> 01:12:57,719 worse 1885 01:12:55,920 --> 01:12:59,310 the doctors say well it's chronic and 1886 01:12:57,720 --> 01:13:00,240 progressive because I gave them insulin 1887 01:12:59,310 --> 01:13:02,130 and they got worse 1888 01:13:00,239 --> 01:13:05,279 so therefore the disease must be like 1889 01:13:02,130 --> 01:13:08,010 that yet at the same time knowing that 1890 01:13:05,279 --> 01:13:09,689 this disease cannot possibly like that 1891 01:13:08,010 --> 01:13:11,640 because we just proved it with our 1892 01:13:09,689 --> 01:13:14,250 bariatric surgery that we could take 1893 01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:15,900 this guy do something to him which is 1894 01:13:14,250 --> 01:13:19,010 basically fast them for like three 1895 01:13:15,899 --> 01:13:21,779 months and make him completely better 1896 01:13:19,010 --> 01:13:24,420 everybody who has type 2 diabetes is 1897 01:13:21,779 --> 01:13:27,809 reversible except up until the very late 1898 01:13:24,420 --> 01:13:30,119 stage that's a fact that we've sort of 1899 01:13:27,810 --> 01:13:32,940 proven with our bariatric surgery and 1900 01:13:30,119 --> 01:13:35,760 it's a fact that we already knew because 1901 01:13:32,939 --> 01:13:37,739 we know that if your friend loses 50 1902 01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:40,739 pounds he's gonna get off his diabetic 1903 01:13:37,739 --> 01:13:42,899 medication no doctors gonna say oh I 1904 01:13:40,739 --> 01:13:46,409 wonder why that happened it's like well 1905 01:13:42,899 --> 01:13:48,059 obviously right but so we know this for 1906 01:13:46,409 --> 01:13:49,710 a fact that it's a reversible disease 1907 01:13:48,060 --> 01:13:50,640 yet we pretend it's chronic from 1908 01:13:49,710 --> 01:13:52,289 progressive because we've been doing 1909 01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:56,250 such a bad job because we've been using 1910 01:13:52,289 --> 01:13:57,479 the wrong treatment interesting when in 1911 01:13:56,250 --> 01:13:59,039 your career so you've been practicing 1912 01:13:57,479 --> 01:14:01,229 medicine for over 20 years right about 1913 01:13:59,039 --> 01:14:02,850 20 years and you talked about in the 1914 01:14:01,229 --> 01:14:04,619 book like I know how to make people fat 1915 01:14:02,850 --> 01:14:06,960 you know you're in some system give them 1916 01:14:04,619 --> 01:14:09,090 insulin at what point did you see enough 1917 01:14:06,960 --> 01:14:10,560 patients gain more and more weight when 1918 01:14:09,090 --> 01:14:12,869 you were falling the standard of care 1919 01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:16,860 that you said this can't be right well 1920 01:14:12,869 --> 01:14:19,829 it was it took a little time yeah dogmas 1921 01:14:16,859 --> 01:14:21,569 very hard to break and interestingly it 1922 01:14:19,829 --> 01:14:23,789 was the patients who all knew they're 1923 01:14:21,569 --> 01:14:25,869 all like you know you gave me insulin 1924 01:14:23,789 --> 01:14:28,390 I'm gaining weight like crazy here 1925 01:14:25,869 --> 01:14:30,760 like how is that good and the answer is 1926 01:14:28,390 --> 01:14:32,560 it wasn't good but I didn't know the 1927 01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:36,010 answer so I said well you know it's just 1928 01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:37,420 the way it is I mean that's that's what 1929 01:14:36,010 --> 01:14:40,770 I said that's what everyone else said 1930 01:14:37,420 --> 01:14:42,940 too but at some point I mean it was 1931 01:14:40,770 --> 01:14:44,980 2008-2009 that we started getting some 1932 01:14:42,939 --> 01:14:47,409 of the data that really showed that 1933 01:14:44,979 --> 01:14:49,750 giving insulin is not a good idea to 1934 01:14:47,409 --> 01:14:53,529 type two diabetics which when you look 1935 01:14:49,750 --> 01:14:55,479 back at it is completely sort of 1936 01:14:53,529 --> 01:14:59,590 rational that is we know in type 2 1937 01:14:55,479 --> 01:15:02,529 diabetes that insulin levels are high so 1938 01:14:59,590 --> 01:15:04,510 why are you giving more insulin I mean 1939 01:15:02,529 --> 01:15:06,369 isn't that like giving alcohol to an 1940 01:15:04,510 --> 01:15:08,800 alcoholic how do you think they're gonna 1941 01:15:06,369 --> 01:15:10,930 get better if you give alcohol to an 1942 01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:13,390 alcoholic they're they're shaking might 1943 01:15:10,930 --> 01:15:16,570 get better but their alcoholism which is 1944 01:15:13,390 --> 01:15:18,579 the actual disease gets worse so it's 1945 01:15:16,569 --> 01:15:20,199 the same thing you give insulin to 1946 01:15:18,579 --> 01:15:22,779 somebody has too much insulin the blood 1947 01:15:20,199 --> 01:15:23,439 sugar gets better but the diabetes gets 1948 01:15:22,779 --> 01:15:25,809 worse 1949 01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:29,049 and that's what we've been doing we've 1950 01:15:25,810 --> 01:15:33,490 been treating these addicts with heroin 1951 01:15:29,050 --> 01:15:35,500 it's like oh my god and what's scary is 1952 01:15:33,489 --> 01:15:38,739 that people are still doing it today 1953 01:15:35,500 --> 01:15:43,359 right now and pretending it's the right 1954 01:15:38,739 --> 01:15:46,029 treatment it's like oh okay well that's 1955 01:15:43,359 --> 01:15:47,649 not a good there's a lot a good idea and 1956 01:15:46,029 --> 01:15:49,300 there's like no wonder everybody's 1957 01:15:47,649 --> 01:15:50,769 getting worse no wonder the health of 1958 01:15:49,300 --> 01:15:54,520 the nation is getting worse because 1959 01:15:50,770 --> 01:15:56,230 we've sort of focused on the wrong sort 1960 01:15:54,520 --> 01:15:59,050 of quadrant which is we think it's a 1961 01:15:56,229 --> 01:16:00,969 drug problem but it's a diet problem we 1962 01:15:59,050 --> 01:16:02,920 took type 1 diabetes which is where 1963 01:16:00,970 --> 01:16:05,530 insulin very low so if insulin is very 1964 01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:08,710 low then give insulin that's a good 1965 01:16:05,529 --> 01:16:10,389 treatment citizens very high don't give 1966 01:16:08,710 --> 01:16:12,100 insulin that's not a good treatment yeah 1967 01:16:10,390 --> 01:16:13,480 you know ladies you said not solving the 1968 01:16:12,100 --> 01:16:15,850 root cause of the problem it's not an 1969 01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:18,399 insulin deficiency syndrome as type 1 1970 01:16:15,850 --> 01:16:19,990 diabetes is you have two receptor gosh 1971 01:16:18,399 --> 01:16:21,189 we could go on and talk all about this 1972 01:16:19,989 --> 01:16:23,050 stuff I really want to commend you for 1973 01:16:21,189 --> 01:16:25,239 all your great work both the books the 1974 01:16:23,050 --> 01:16:27,010 obesity code really changed my mind on a 1975 01:16:25,239 --> 01:16:29,289 lot of different things particularly 1976 01:16:27,010 --> 01:16:31,390 that the time the latency how long 1977 01:16:29,289 --> 01:16:32,800 someone has been overweight that that 1978 01:16:31,390 --> 01:16:34,030 it's going to affect their weight loss 1979 01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:35,980 and I think that's something that people 1980 01:16:34,029 --> 01:16:38,229 really need to think about you know 1981 01:16:35,979 --> 01:16:39,849 because if they see the lean purse 1982 01:16:38,229 --> 01:16:41,439 and get shredded for spring break and 1983 01:16:39,850 --> 01:16:44,470 like why I want to do that but they've 1984 01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:45,909 been overweight for 35 years so we need 1985 01:16:44,470 --> 01:16:47,770 to be realized and that calorie three 1986 01:16:45,909 --> 01:16:50,949 theories simply can't explain that 1987 01:16:47,770 --> 01:16:54,520 because the calorie theory would say 1988 01:16:50,949 --> 01:16:57,579 that if you've been overweight for ten 1989 01:16:54,520 --> 01:17:00,880 years or ten days it's the same yeah you 1990 01:16:57,579 --> 01:17:03,609 create that caloric deficit and you're 1991 01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:05,650 both is a lose weight yeah and everybody 1992 01:17:03,609 --> 01:17:07,988 knows that's not gonna happen right 1993 01:17:05,649 --> 01:17:09,579 and yet we pretend oh yeah of course of 1994 01:17:07,988 --> 01:17:10,988 course it's all about calories it's like 1995 01:17:09,579 --> 01:17:12,488 what are you like do you live in the 1996 01:17:10,988 --> 01:17:15,519 real world like do you actually treat 1997 01:17:12,488 --> 01:17:17,889 people because everybody knows that that 1998 01:17:15,520 --> 01:17:20,020 guy who's been overweight for thirty 1999 01:17:17,890 --> 01:17:24,010 years that those pounds ain't coming off 2000 01:17:20,020 --> 01:17:26,200 yeah like in ten days like like like the 2001 01:17:24,010 --> 01:17:28,869 20 year old who gained a few pounds from 2002 01:17:26,199 --> 01:17:30,760 a few beers at spring break right so 2003 01:17:28,869 --> 01:17:31,809 yeah absolutely that's that's that's the 2004 01:17:30,760 --> 01:17:34,000 key to understanding and the 2005 01:17:31,810 --> 01:17:36,910 physiologies all been there but it's 2006 01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:42,069 been sort of distorted by all of this 2007 01:17:36,909 --> 01:17:44,340 sort of you know other interests like 2008 01:17:42,069 --> 01:17:47,439 particularly food companies for example 2009 01:17:44,340 --> 01:17:51,039 sugary beverage companies who want the 2010 01:17:47,439 --> 01:17:54,099 calorie theory to be correct and this is 2011 01:17:51,039 --> 01:17:57,220 one of the things that you know we're 2012 01:17:54,100 --> 01:17:59,710 really looking to get into is sort of 2013 01:17:57,220 --> 01:18:03,640 advocacy to get the sort of conflicts of 2014 01:17:59,710 --> 01:18:06,130 interest out of medicine having been in 2015 01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:09,280 medicine I realized that there's 2016 01:18:06,130 --> 01:18:11,980 actually all these problems like there's 2017 01:18:09,279 --> 01:18:14,050 not just pharmaceuticals but you know 2018 01:18:11,979 --> 01:18:16,500 the research so we all pretend we live 2019 01:18:14,050 --> 01:18:20,170 in this world of evidence-based medicine 2020 01:18:16,500 --> 01:18:23,560 the problem is if all the met if all the 2021 01:18:20,170 --> 01:18:25,690 evidence is corrupt then evidence-based 2022 01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:27,489 medicine is also going to be corrupt so 2023 01:18:25,689 --> 01:18:29,019 if all your evidence is produced by 2024 01:18:27,488 --> 01:18:31,659 pharmaceuticals is produced by people 2025 01:18:29,020 --> 01:18:34,120 getting paid by the sugar industry for 2026 01:18:31,659 --> 01:18:36,510 example well you're gonna think sugar is 2027 01:18:34,119 --> 01:18:39,670 fine and we have studies that prove that 2028 01:18:36,510 --> 01:18:42,520 a funded study so if you fund a study 2029 01:18:39,670 --> 01:18:45,039 then you're like something like six to 2030 01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:47,320 ten times more likely to finding result 2031 01:18:45,039 --> 01:18:50,590 favoring your sponsor well that's just 2032 01:18:47,319 --> 01:18:51,969 human nature so we have a guy in Toronto 2033 01:18:50,590 --> 01:18:54,369 a dr. Stephen Piper 2034 01:18:51,970 --> 01:18:56,260 who is out there all the time saying 2035 01:18:54,369 --> 01:18:58,899 sugars good fructose is good it's like a 2036 01:18:56,260 --> 01:19:01,150 health food like okay that's really dumb 2037 01:18:58,899 --> 01:19:03,189 that's what I'm thinking and then of 2038 01:19:01,149 --> 01:19:05,199 course in the newspaper in the National 2039 01:19:03,189 --> 01:19:06,789 Post last year which is our national 2040 01:19:05,199 --> 01:19:08,439 newspaper it's like oh yeah he takes 2041 01:19:06,789 --> 01:19:10,479 hundreds of thousands of dollars from 2042 01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:12,729 the sugar industry coca-cola and 2043 01:19:10,479 --> 01:19:15,549 everybody I'm like okay makes sense well 2044 01:19:12,729 --> 01:19:17,169 here's this makes total sense and here's 2045 01:19:15,550 --> 01:19:19,930 the sugar industry funding the 2046 01:19:17,170 --> 01:19:21,850 University of Toronto which is happily 2047 01:19:19,930 --> 01:19:24,789 taking all this cash they're taking all 2048 01:19:21,850 --> 01:19:28,240 this money and producing shoddy research 2049 01:19:24,789 --> 01:19:31,269 it's like I don't blame the sugar 2050 01:19:28,239 --> 01:19:33,369 company the sugar company or the 2051 01:19:31,270 --> 01:19:36,870 pharmaceutical or the big food company I 2052 01:19:33,369 --> 01:19:39,970 don't blame them at all because their 2053 01:19:36,869 --> 01:19:42,729 responsibility is to sell sugary 2054 01:19:39,970 --> 01:19:45,310 beverage that's their responsibility to 2055 01:19:42,729 --> 01:19:47,919 the company to their shareholders that's 2056 01:19:45,310 --> 01:19:50,950 their whole goal it's out there coke is 2057 01:19:47,920 --> 01:19:55,029 there to sell coke that's his job the 2058 01:19:50,949 --> 01:19:58,000 problem is that we allow coke to pay the 2059 01:19:55,029 --> 01:20:01,509 University of Toronto millions of 2060 01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:05,560 dollars to produce crappy research why 2061 01:20:01,510 --> 01:20:10,420 do we allow that if you give a New York 2062 01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:13,120 City policeman a cold drink he could get 2063 01:20:10,420 --> 01:20:16,960 fired because it's a conflict of 2064 01:20:13,119 --> 01:20:20,140 interest if you give the judge sort of a 2065 01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:23,199 slice of pizza he or she could get fired 2066 01:20:20,140 --> 01:20:25,570 for taking that slice of pizza and we 2067 01:20:23,199 --> 01:20:27,760 all say of course you can't bribe a 2068 01:20:25,569 --> 01:20:31,090 judge whether it's a slice of pizza or a 2069 01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:34,329 car it's the same principle mmm the 2070 01:20:31,090 --> 01:20:35,860 reciprocity exactly because when I give 2071 01:20:34,329 --> 01:20:36,880 you something you're gonna feel better 2072 01:20:35,859 --> 01:20:39,869 towards me 2073 01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:42,069 that's all human nature so we say okay I 2074 01:20:39,869 --> 01:20:44,529 understand this everybody understands 2075 01:20:42,069 --> 01:20:46,929 this so therefore you are not nobody is 2076 01:20:44,529 --> 01:20:50,529 allowed to give policeman nobody's 2077 01:20:46,930 --> 01:20:52,720 allowed to give judges anything but we 2078 01:20:50,529 --> 01:20:54,279 say oh yeah if you're a big company you 2079 01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:56,470 can give doctors however much money you 2080 01:20:54,279 --> 01:20:58,439 want so you look at a journal like the 2081 01:20:56,470 --> 01:21:01,889 Journal of the American car 2082 01:20:58,439 --> 01:21:03,539 College of Cardiology and the editors 2083 01:21:01,889 --> 01:21:07,170 which decide which journals got 2084 01:21:03,539 --> 01:21:11,310 published you know what everything is 2085 01:21:07,170 --> 01:21:14,190 on average they're taking each over four 2086 01:21:11,310 --> 01:21:17,039 hundred thousand dollars a year from 2087 01:21:14,189 --> 01:21:18,928 companies and it's like okay I don't 2088 01:21:17,039 --> 01:21:21,179 blame the company the company if it if 2089 01:21:18,929 --> 01:21:23,369 it means selling more stuff that's what 2090 01:21:21,179 --> 01:21:26,639 they should be doing the question is why 2091 01:21:23,369 --> 01:21:28,408 do we allow that to happen when it 2092 01:21:26,639 --> 01:21:31,319 doesn't apply to anybody else 2093 01:21:28,408 --> 01:21:33,269 you can't give four hundred thousand 2094 01:21:31,319 --> 01:21:35,609 dollars to a New York Times journalist 2095 01:21:33,270 --> 01:21:38,670 they will get fired by the New York 2096 01:21:35,609 --> 01:21:40,289 Times they will absolutely get fired you 2097 01:21:38,670 --> 01:21:42,389 can't go to some company 2098 01:21:40,289 --> 01:21:45,810 I'll call big companies have this rule I 2099 01:21:42,389 --> 01:21:48,060 can't go to the Brant bank manager and 2100 01:21:45,810 --> 01:21:50,250 say oh hey here's ten thousand bucks 2101 01:21:48,060 --> 01:21:53,060 he's gonna give me a loan right he's 2102 01:21:50,250 --> 01:21:57,329 gonna get fired or she's gonna get fired 2103 01:21:53,060 --> 01:22:00,389 everywhere and in in we know this we put 2104 01:21:57,329 --> 01:22:04,109 rules on it but yet when it comes to our 2105 01:22:00,389 --> 01:22:06,929 health we say hey dr. Stephen Piper you 2106 01:22:04,109 --> 01:22:09,448 can take here's a couple here's $500,000 2107 01:22:06,929 --> 01:22:12,029 just do some research on why sugar is 2108 01:22:09,448 --> 01:22:13,469 good for you and he produces it and then 2109 01:22:12,029 --> 01:22:15,719 people come out and say well the 2110 01:22:13,469 --> 01:22:18,270 evidence says that sugar is good for us 2111 01:22:15,719 --> 01:22:21,689 it's like isn't that the most ridiculous 2112 01:22:18,270 --> 01:22:23,550 situation you've ever heard this is one 2113 01:22:21,689 --> 01:22:25,408 of the things that really has to get out 2114 01:22:23,550 --> 01:22:28,079 there because if you have differences of 2115 01:22:25,408 --> 01:22:29,729 opinion between scientists that's fine 2116 01:22:28,079 --> 01:22:31,050 that's how science works everybody has a 2117 01:22:29,729 --> 01:22:32,908 different opinion I don't mind that's a 2118 01:22:31,050 --> 01:22:35,789 look the vegans have a different opinion 2119 01:22:32,908 --> 01:22:37,710 than I do that's fine the problem is 2120 01:22:35,789 --> 01:22:39,479 when you get all these sort of 2121 01:22:37,710 --> 01:22:42,029 commercial interests in it but it's not 2122 01:22:39,479 --> 01:22:44,579 a problem for the commercial interests I 2123 01:22:42,029 --> 01:22:46,170 mean the drug companies they're allowed 2124 01:22:44,579 --> 01:22:48,090 to do it so they should do it and they 2125 01:22:46,170 --> 01:22:51,179 will do it because that's what they are 2126 01:22:48,090 --> 01:22:54,360 stated their stated goal is the stated 2127 01:22:51,179 --> 01:22:56,969 goal is to sell more drug right what we 2128 01:22:54,359 --> 01:22:59,519 have to do is we have to be on our you 2129 01:22:56,969 --> 01:23:02,130 know political you have to get political 2130 01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:04,340 and really say okay we shouldn't 2131 01:23:02,130 --> 01:23:08,039 allowing any of this anybody who teaches 2132 01:23:04,340 --> 01:23:09,690 students medical students teaches at the 2133 01:23:08,039 --> 01:23:11,449 university it's not allowed to take 2134 01:23:09,689 --> 01:23:15,539 money like 2135 01:23:11,449 --> 01:23:17,460 it seems like a no-brainer yeah 2136 01:23:15,539 --> 01:23:20,010 they take hundreds of thousands of 2137 01:23:17,460 --> 01:23:24,180 dollars every single one of them these 2138 01:23:20,010 --> 01:23:26,220 programs that the the pharmaceuticals 2139 01:23:24,180 --> 01:23:27,960 put out they pay a doctor fifteen 2140 01:23:26,220 --> 01:23:31,050 hundred dollars to give an hour-long 2141 01:23:27,960 --> 01:23:32,819 talk lots of doctors do it the more 2142 01:23:31,050 --> 01:23:35,670 prominent the more money they get they 2143 01:23:32,819 --> 01:23:38,250 pay editors of large journals like 2144 01:23:35,670 --> 01:23:40,800 hundreds of thousands of dollars each to 2145 01:23:38,250 --> 01:23:42,930 get their research into it the studies 2146 01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:45,210 are all produced by drug companies and 2147 01:23:42,930 --> 01:23:47,600 we know that if that's the case then 2148 01:23:45,210 --> 01:23:50,340 it's more far more likely to be biased 2149 01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:52,440 and then and the whole thing and people 2150 01:23:50,340 --> 01:23:56,100 complain about oh you know it's big 2151 01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:59,099 sugar and big tobacco and big meat it's 2152 01:23:56,100 --> 01:24:02,539 like that's the first thing we should be 2153 01:23:59,100 --> 01:24:05,820 doing this saying we need new rules 2154 01:24:02,539 --> 01:24:08,760 nobody's allowed to pay university 2155 01:24:05,819 --> 01:24:10,469 professors any kind of money you want to 2156 01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:12,449 be a university professor you want the 2157 01:24:10,470 --> 01:24:15,210 privilege of teaching medical students 2158 01:24:12,449 --> 01:24:18,269 you get paid by the university you don't 2159 01:24:15,210 --> 01:24:20,970 get paid by anybody else if you want to 2160 01:24:18,270 --> 01:24:23,550 write guidelines clinical guidelines for 2161 01:24:20,970 --> 01:24:25,860 diabetes clinical guidelines for Dietary 2162 01:24:23,550 --> 01:24:27,960 Guidelines whatever it is anybody who 2163 01:24:25,859 --> 01:24:29,909 writes any kind of guideline is not 2164 01:24:27,960 --> 01:24:32,250 allowed to take money from anybody 2165 01:24:29,909 --> 01:24:34,050 because doctors are the worst because 2166 01:24:32,250 --> 01:24:36,659 they take lots of money from everybody 2167 01:24:34,050 --> 01:24:39,480 and they think that just disclosing it 2168 01:24:36,659 --> 01:24:42,329 is fine it's like I don't care if you 2169 01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:43,739 say it don't do it you can't you don't 2170 01:24:42,329 --> 01:24:46,260 have a judge out there saying oh yeah 2171 01:24:43,739 --> 01:24:50,099 I've been paid by this this this this 2172 01:24:46,260 --> 01:24:52,380 and that so you go to these lectures and 2173 01:24:50,100 --> 01:24:56,390 they're terrible because you get we have 2174 01:24:52,380 --> 01:24:58,680 financial disclosure slides and so 2175 01:24:56,390 --> 01:25:00,150 anytime you go to any lecture somebody 2176 01:24:58,680 --> 01:25:02,460 will flash up a slide and there's like 2177 01:25:00,149 --> 01:25:05,009 15 drug companies on it that he's been 2178 01:25:02,460 --> 01:25:07,739 paid by he goes and he'll always say 2179 01:25:05,010 --> 01:25:09,630 something like I'm not biased because 2180 01:25:07,739 --> 01:25:13,319 I'm paid by everybody and every laughs 2181 01:25:09,630 --> 01:25:15,119 I'm thinking oh my god yeah you guys 2182 01:25:13,319 --> 01:25:18,149 don't even know how crooked the whole 2183 01:25:15,119 --> 01:25:21,390 situation is because in any other sphere 2184 01:25:18,149 --> 01:25:23,670 of life it would be completely 2185 01:25:21,390 --> 01:25:26,610 unacceptable would it be acceptable for 2186 01:25:23,670 --> 01:25:30,480 your child's teacher to be getting money 2187 01:25:26,609 --> 01:25:34,710 from their nose wallah yeah absolutely 2188 01:25:30,479 --> 01:25:36,389 not right absolutely 100% not you would 2189 01:25:34,710 --> 01:25:39,060 never stand for it I would never stand 2190 01:25:36,390 --> 01:25:42,410 for it if I knew my teacher my child's 2191 01:25:39,060 --> 01:25:46,680 teacher was being paid by coke and hey 2192 01:25:42,409 --> 01:25:52,229 teaches them that coke is okay but yet 2193 01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:54,840 coke can pay dr. Steven Piper lots of 2194 01:25:52,229 --> 01:25:56,429 money to come out and say hey sugars 2195 01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:58,560 good for you then he teaches to the 2196 01:25:56,430 --> 01:26:01,350 medical students hey sugar it's good for 2197 01:25:58,560 --> 01:26:03,030 you which teaches you yeah that sugar is 2198 01:26:01,350 --> 01:26:07,850 good for you and then you get diabetes 2199 01:26:03,029 --> 01:26:10,679 and die it's like that's very wrong 2200 01:26:07,850 --> 01:26:12,210 there's something very wrong there and 2201 01:26:10,680 --> 01:26:15,420 that's one of the things I really have 2202 01:26:12,210 --> 01:26:18,060 to really have to you know get the rules 2203 01:26:15,420 --> 01:26:20,310 changed not because they're stricter 2204 01:26:18,060 --> 01:26:23,789 than anybody else we need the rules same 2205 01:26:20,310 --> 01:26:26,370 rules as everybody else and and and and 2206 01:26:23,789 --> 01:26:28,500 the health of the sort of whole nation 2207 01:26:26,369 --> 01:26:31,439 sort of depends on it we have so many of 2208 01:26:28,500 --> 01:26:32,069 these researchers that are just on the 2209 01:26:31,439 --> 01:26:34,710 payroll 2210 01:26:32,069 --> 01:26:36,899 it's like publishing biased so it's kind 2211 01:26:34,710 --> 01:26:38,670 of a partying note here how do you look 2212 01:26:36,899 --> 01:26:40,920 at research then now to try and look at 2213 01:26:38,670 --> 01:26:42,859 it more objectively with the idea that 2214 01:26:40,920 --> 01:26:47,210 this could be funded in a different way 2215 01:26:42,859 --> 01:26:50,849 yeah it's really hard that's why most 2216 01:26:47,210 --> 01:26:52,109 most people who have understand 2217 01:26:50,850 --> 01:26:57,300 evidence-based medicine 2218 01:26:52,109 --> 01:27:00,449 think it's completely crap so there's 2219 01:26:57,300 --> 01:27:02,190 guys like there's a former 2220 01:27:00,449 --> 01:27:05,970 editor-in-chief of the New England 2221 01:27:02,189 --> 01:27:09,449 Journal of Medicine land said these are 2222 01:27:05,970 --> 01:27:11,430 the two sort of most prominent medical 2223 01:27:09,449 --> 01:27:13,289 journals in the world who have both said 2224 01:27:11,430 --> 01:27:15,740 yeah after like 20 years of being in the 2225 01:27:13,289 --> 01:27:18,300 business I realized that it's all crap 2226 01:27:15,739 --> 01:27:20,159 most of what we publish is not true 2227 01:27:18,300 --> 01:27:24,659 there's this replication bias you know 2228 01:27:20,159 --> 01:27:26,279 where people try and try and juice up 2229 01:27:24,659 --> 01:27:28,500 their findings so that it gets in 2230 01:27:26,279 --> 01:27:30,210 newspapers and then when they were 2231 01:27:28,500 --> 01:27:32,369 trying to replicate the study it's like 2232 01:27:30,210 --> 01:27:34,710 oh it wasn't true at all 2233 01:27:32,369 --> 01:27:36,930 they only got the result because they 2234 01:27:34,710 --> 01:27:39,600 were trying to find a result to get in 2235 01:27:36,930 --> 01:27:41,880 the newspaper sort of thing so anybody 2236 01:27:39,600 --> 01:27:44,880 who actually understands evidence-based 2237 01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:46,440 medicine so you know that these are the 2238 01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:49,140 sort of that the editors and chief the 2239 01:27:46,439 --> 01:27:52,259 guys who have been there and done that 2240 01:27:49,140 --> 01:27:53,820 and lived that life they've all 2241 01:27:52,260 --> 01:27:56,340 basically turned their back and said 2242 01:27:53,819 --> 01:27:59,729 it's all just crap now and it's not that 2243 01:27:56,340 --> 01:28:02,789 the idea is bad it's a good idea but 2244 01:27:59,729 --> 01:28:06,959 what you have to do is say get all the 2245 01:28:02,789 --> 01:28:10,529 commercial interests out of science you 2246 01:28:06,960 --> 01:28:14,069 can't have a drug company doing a study 2247 01:28:10,529 --> 01:28:16,800 on their own drug and saying this is the 2248 01:28:14,069 --> 01:28:18,269 best thing since sliced bread everybody 2249 01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:19,710 should do it and anybody who doesn't do 2250 01:28:18,270 --> 01:28:22,020 it is some Luddite who doesn't 2251 01:28:19,710 --> 01:28:24,119 understand evidence-based medicine it's 2252 01:28:22,020 --> 01:28:25,080 like okay but there's something really 2253 01:28:24,119 --> 01:28:27,989 wrong here 2254 01:28:25,079 --> 01:28:32,760 if the heroing company is saying look at 2255 01:28:27,989 --> 01:28:34,529 this study heroin everybody and and then 2256 01:28:32,760 --> 01:28:36,270 came out and taught the doctors and gave 2257 01:28:34,529 --> 01:28:38,069 doc there's hundreds of thousands of 2258 01:28:36,270 --> 01:28:42,200 dollars to teach medical students that 2259 01:28:38,069 --> 01:28:45,179 heroin is good for you we'd say buddy 2260 01:28:42,199 --> 01:28:47,279 that study was funded by the heroin 2261 01:28:45,180 --> 01:28:49,530 company you can't trust it but when we 2262 01:28:47,279 --> 01:28:54,109 say oh that study was funded by the drug 2263 01:28:49,529 --> 01:29:00,059 company we're like yay it's like like 2264 01:28:54,109 --> 01:29:03,689 logic is just like I'm like kind of 2265 01:29:00,060 --> 01:29:06,210 appalled sort of yeah with how how 2266 01:29:03,689 --> 01:29:08,869 everything is developed in medicine and 2267 01:29:06,210 --> 01:29:12,750 that logic seems to sort of play no role 2268 01:29:08,869 --> 01:29:15,119 in in what we do that is you can't allow 2269 01:29:12,750 --> 01:29:17,189 drug companies to do their own study and 2270 01:29:15,119 --> 01:29:19,559 then tout their own horn and then 2271 01:29:17,189 --> 01:29:21,569 dictate how we do medicine yeah that's 2272 01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:24,810 great like you've given up you've given 2273 01:29:21,569 --> 01:29:27,210 it up and why because our leaders our 2274 01:29:24,810 --> 01:29:31,080 University professors are all on the 2275 01:29:27,210 --> 01:29:32,730 payroll it's crazy yeah it's a great 2276 01:29:31,079 --> 01:29:34,890 book about biases 2277 01:29:32,729 --> 01:29:37,589 decisive by the heath brothers Dan and 2278 01:29:34,890 --> 01:29:39,349 chippy and so I just noticed that I you 2279 01:29:37,590 --> 01:29:41,659 know it's a someone who's been in 2280 01:29:39,349 --> 01:29:43,610 and the beneficiary of fasting and the 2281 01:29:41,658 --> 01:29:45,170 ketogenic diet I'm very biased Pro that 2282 01:29:43,609 --> 01:29:47,210 but now when I read research I try and 2283 01:29:45,170 --> 01:29:49,520 really be aware of that because you find 2284 01:29:47,210 --> 01:29:51,469 yourself seeking out more of the same so 2285 01:29:49,520 --> 01:29:52,880 human nature were very very biased 2286 01:29:51,469 --> 01:29:56,000 creature so you can see how this could 2287 01:29:52,880 --> 01:29:57,949 happen but but if in terms of like kind 2288 01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:59,328 of a parting piece of advice like the 2289 01:29:57,948 --> 01:30:00,919 biggest health issue do you think that's 2290 01:29:59,328 --> 01:30:02,389 one of them that the so-called 2291 01:30:00,920 --> 01:30:04,908 evidence-based medicine is really 2292 01:30:02,389 --> 01:30:08,599 industry funded and yeah I think that 2293 01:30:04,908 --> 01:30:11,750 there's sort of a couple of things I 2294 01:30:08,599 --> 01:30:14,449 mean there's from from a health 2295 01:30:11,750 --> 01:30:16,429 standpoint honestly its metabolic 2296 01:30:14,448 --> 01:30:18,529 syndrome obesity type 2 diabetes that's 2297 01:30:16,429 --> 01:30:19,069 clearly going to be the issue of our 2298 01:30:18,529 --> 01:30:22,399 times 2299 01:30:19,069 --> 01:30:25,158 yeah it's killing tons of people carting 2300 01:30:22,399 --> 01:30:26,839 fast or disease stroke cancer those are 2301 01:30:25,158 --> 01:30:28,429 the biggest sort of three killers of 2302 01:30:26,840 --> 01:30:31,699 Americans and they're all sort of 2303 01:30:28,429 --> 01:30:35,710 metabolic problems so the the sort of 2304 01:30:31,698 --> 01:30:38,689 that's sort of the biggest problem and 2305 01:30:35,710 --> 01:30:41,929 going to the sort of standard medical 2306 01:30:38,689 --> 01:30:44,509 dogma is not great for the related issue 2307 01:30:41,929 --> 01:30:46,550 of a lot of bias and medicine research 2308 01:30:44,510 --> 01:30:49,190 the good news is that you have you can 2309 01:30:46,550 --> 01:30:51,050 take control of your own health you know 2310 01:30:49,189 --> 01:30:53,299 through understanding like what we're 2311 01:30:51,050 --> 01:30:55,550 talking about do the cutting out 2312 01:30:53,300 --> 01:30:57,739 processed foods reducing the number of 2313 01:30:55,550 --> 01:31:00,829 times that you eat intermittent fasting 2314 01:30:57,738 --> 01:31:03,408 and sort of regain sort of 90% of your 2315 01:31:00,828 --> 01:31:04,819 house from the good news from a patient 2316 01:31:03,408 --> 01:31:06,948 perspective is that yes you can do 2317 01:31:04,819 --> 01:31:11,179 something about right now the larger 2318 01:31:06,948 --> 01:31:14,059 societal issue is exactly that to get 2319 01:31:11,179 --> 01:31:17,199 the bias out of medical science because 2320 01:31:14,060 --> 01:31:20,510 the reason that medical science is 2321 01:31:17,198 --> 01:31:24,549 hopelessly bad is that there's just too 2322 01:31:20,510 --> 01:31:27,860 much bias so if you look back at the 2323 01:31:24,550 --> 01:31:30,800 1970s the obesity goes from very little 2324 01:31:27,859 --> 01:31:34,569 to very high so we're worse than we were 2325 01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:39,289 in 1970 yeah if you look at technology 2326 01:31:34,569 --> 01:31:42,078 in the 1970s computer is like the size 2327 01:31:39,289 --> 01:31:44,210 of this room it has like you know a 2328 01:31:42,078 --> 01:31:47,389 tenth of the computing power of my 2329 01:31:44,210 --> 01:31:52,189 iPhone it's like that's the power of 2330 01:31:47,389 --> 01:31:53,090 human ingenuity in nutrition we've gone 2331 01:31:52,189 --> 01:31:56,059 backwards 2332 01:31:53,090 --> 01:31:58,190 we've gone we would have gone from the 2333 01:31:56,060 --> 01:32:00,860 computer the size of this room to a 2334 01:31:58,189 --> 01:32:03,649 computer the size of this entire code 2335 01:32:00,859 --> 01:32:06,409 language yeah it's ridiculous hmm and 2336 01:32:03,649 --> 01:32:08,299 it's because there's too much bias we 2337 01:32:06,409 --> 01:32:10,220 get people saying that sugars good for 2338 01:32:08,300 --> 01:32:12,619 you I mean tobacco is the same thing for 2339 01:32:10,220 --> 01:32:15,170 years people said no problem no problem 2340 01:32:12,619 --> 01:32:16,670 why they're all on the payroll okay so 2341 01:32:15,170 --> 01:32:17,930 we understand that for tobacco 2342 01:32:16,670 --> 01:32:19,699 why don't we understand it for drug 2343 01:32:17,930 --> 01:32:21,800 companies for this and that and again 2344 01:32:19,699 --> 01:32:24,289 it's not that I'm anti drug companies 2345 01:32:21,800 --> 01:32:27,529 drug companies have a very valuable role 2346 01:32:24,289 --> 01:32:29,569 but they need to be sort of over there 2347 01:32:27,529 --> 01:32:33,050 and the university has to be over here 2348 01:32:29,569 --> 01:32:35,719 and you have to split them and if their 2349 01:32:33,050 --> 01:32:37,579 drug is good then the university will 2350 01:32:35,720 --> 01:32:39,350 say okay well your drug goes good well 2351 01:32:37,579 --> 01:32:41,920 at least I know that you're not paying 2352 01:32:39,350 --> 01:32:44,720 the guy who's saying it's good yeah 2353 01:32:41,920 --> 01:32:47,119 again it's it's it's pure common sense 2354 01:32:44,720 --> 01:32:49,340 and it's like we just have to change 2355 01:32:47,119 --> 01:32:51,409 that to move far so that's sort of the 2356 01:32:49,340 --> 01:32:54,380 larger I think that in the end that's 2357 01:32:51,409 --> 01:32:55,789 the larger societal issue the individual 2358 01:32:54,380 --> 01:32:57,800 issue that's the biggest that's going to 2359 01:32:55,789 --> 01:32:59,840 impact everybody is gonna be you know 2360 01:32:57,800 --> 01:33:01,730 how to apply the proper standards of 2361 01:32:59,840 --> 01:33:04,000 nutrition in term in fasting I think 2362 01:33:01,729 --> 01:33:06,589 that part has been missing for so long 2363 01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:07,640 and really until I started talking about 2364 01:33:06,590 --> 01:33:11,329 it I don't think anybody was talking 2365 01:33:07,640 --> 01:33:13,280 about fasting truthfully no not in not 2366 01:33:11,329 --> 01:33:14,960 in terms of how their body builders and 2367 01:33:13,279 --> 01:33:17,750 stuff but not in terms of treatment of 2368 01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:19,250 disease and that kind of thing that part 2369 01:33:17,750 --> 01:33:20,750 is the biggest part for the individual 2370 01:33:19,250 --> 01:33:22,069 patient but they can actually do 2371 01:33:20,750 --> 01:33:24,319 something about it and that's what I 2372 01:33:22,069 --> 01:33:27,469 hope to do with their books with the IPM 2373 01:33:24,319 --> 01:33:30,139 program and with the blog and with the 2374
