The 30-Day Sugar Detox

so why would anyone want to do a 30-day Sugar Detox I mean Sugar's natural it's what feeds our brain I mean what's going to happen to our brain if we detox sugar for 30 days can it survive so let's dive into this topic I have some new information I think you'll like but it revolves around this one term called metabolic flexibility that is your cell's ability to make this smooth transition between carbs and fat during a fasting State and then until you eat and when you're eating and then going into a fasting State how well can you switch fuels because when you're eating sometimes you're living off the glucose right the sugar but then when you fast okay that's no longer available can your body adapt to burning fat and ketones which are kind of like little packaged pieces of fat how smooth and efficient can this transition take place as well as your cell's ability to utilize fat and carbs or sugar when you're metabolically inflexible this transition is very very dysfunctional your ability to burn fat when you go into a fasting state is very difficult so this does explain what's really behind why people can't seem to lose any weight when they do this fasting and then also when you exercise let's say you're going to do some type of endurance type of exercise where you actually need glucose every so often right your body just cannot seem to tap into this fat fuel when you're exercising that means you're metabolic inflexible so this metabolic inflexibility leads to diabetes obesity loss of muscle Protein that's called sarcopenia because instead of burning fat the body sometimes will start using muscle protein as its fuel so the whole determination of what fuel your body is using is all dysfunctional the fuel comes into the energy mitochondria and it doesn't get burned and sometimes it doesn't get stored and it clogs things up if you were to look at the mitochondria as far as this little assembly line of turning food into energy you'd find all sorts of bottlenecks and traffic jams and this is what's really behind so many chronic illnesses including cancer so this really described what happened to me in my late 20s boy I could not go for any period of time without needing a snack or else I'd get highly irritable ask my wife I remember one time we were doing all these things to try to get healthy and uh I decided to do a a kma okay a Col what's a Colma It's a combination between a colonic and an enema and it was developed by Bernard Jensen and in this colon cleansing program you don't eat any food you're drinking uh this mixture of pelium seed with certain vitamins with um apple juice and I have never felt worse during that period of time and when I was fasting for that week I couldn't tap into my own fat I was living off a little bit of sugar I wasn't transitioning to the fat fuel because if I was my my appetite would go away I would feel so much better mentally but I felt so terribly and I was so irritable it was just miserable and so when you have metabolic inflexibility you're going to be grouchy you're going to have anxiety you're going to be tired you're not going to be able to go for a long period of time without eating and when you try to go on a fast you're not going to feel good you're going to feel tired you're not going to be able to lose much weight you're not going to have all the benefits that you could if you adapted and you were actually met AB abolic flexible what's at the core of this problem is insulin resistance and insulin is what controls whether you burn fat or not and so if someone is metabolically inflexible what's really going on is they have insulin resistance and so the insulin is pretty high even in a fasting State you see this a lot with a diabetic as well as obesity with certain obese people they can have like three times as much insulin as someone who doesn't have that problem and so the consequence of all this extra insulin is that it's the message of don't burn fat store fat so the person tries and tries and tries and just can't lose the weight but there is a way to transition over to create this metabolic flexibility which really is insulin sensitivity and there's many benefits for this okay you'll be able to go long periods of time without hunger without Cravings you'll be able to actually burn fat which would be a great thing and also your efficiency of burning sugar will be better too the sugar that comes in the mitochondria can finally be burned as well well and so occasionally if you go off your Keto Plan and you go on some carbs your body can burn those fuels so the ideal situation would be able to build up your body into a state of insulin sensitivity and metabolic flexibility so I'm going to show you four ways to do that and just so you know if you did this for 30 days chances are you would create a huge impact into this problem number one you eat less frequently this goes against what people uh tend to tell you to do right eat often to prevent hunger like this hunger is a bad thing like you're starving no it's actually being hungry sometimes is a very healthy thing it's it's in our genetics uh we've been hungry for a very long time and if we never let our body get hungry because we're constantly feeding it we develop metabolic inflexibility number two eat fewer carbs all right number three and this may be a new one for you eat sufficient amount of fat but don't eat excessive amounts of fat if you are metabolically inflexible why because not only can you not efficiently burn glucose you also can't burn fat too well either that's why you can't lose weight so why would you want to add so much extra fat to the diet that would be a mistake I'm not telling you to go lowfat but just don't add all these additional fats that so many people add into a ketogenic diet uh I'll never forget the story of A friend of mine went on the ketogenic diet first of all his definition of Keto was just a high fat diet right and he didn't want to do in minut of fasting so he made these fat bombs they're like pure fat coconut oil and butter and MCT oil and uh maybe a little almond oil and he was just Downing these all day long I think he the first week he gained five pounds the second week I think he gained seven pounds that is not what you want to do so get your fat that normally comes with the meat okay or other things but don't go low fat if you're doing cheese or something like that but don't add additional fat and that way we can get your body to tap into your own fat that is the purpose of the fat to provide for extra fuel during times when you're not eating and so when you go on a fast and you eliminate glucose now the body has no choice but to burn its own fat and we can really screw this up if our meal is very high in fat because now we don't give the system a chance to tap into our own fat so let's say you're doing two meals a day and you're adding this extra MCT oil these extra fats and even if you're going 18 hours okay all that fat that you ate in the last meal is still not used up how do you expect to ever lose weight so I just wanted to emphasize that one point okay number four exercise snacking and this is a probably a new word for you it's a it was coined by someone back I think in 1970 and it's not eating while you're exercising okay exercise snacking is basically short bouts of exercise through the day like doing this high- intense interval training bout for five minutes before you eat and then walking after you eat what they found was very interesting when they compare doing that to like a regular pattern of eating and doing this workout maybe at a standard time during the day is that when you have these short bursts of exercise throughout the day that produces way more benefits to your blood sugars to making insulin more sensitive as well as to improving your metabolic flexibility better than the old pattern so I I recently mentioned this in a video instead of sitting in front of the desk all day break it up with maybe every hour or every two hours you do a little short exercise that's going to break up the pattern of sitting all day being sedentary and it's also very doable because you're only spending like five minutes doing a workout and if you want to take it to the next level you can instead of doing high-intensity interval training you can do a version of that called sit which stands for sprinting innoval training right so this is like the Flatout full high intensity using the maximum intensity type exercise you can do which is sprinting and you're only going to be doing it for 10 seconds right and you rest for a period of time do it for another 10 seconds rest for a period of time and that produces some serious results in fact that's what I'm experimenting right now with actually I'm doing it up a hill I'm running or sprinting up a hill to add more resistance and I can only go like 15 seconds and I'm done and if you can combine this with intermittent fasting not overdoing with your fat within 30 days you're going to produce some serious results not just with your weight for your overall health now because of the censoring and the suppressing of the algorithms on YouTube it's becoming more difficult to find my content and there's a lot of content that I cannot put on YouTube unfortunately so to make sure you have full
