not far behind and I say far behind because I know that Australia has taken over America but when I'm in Alabama and I um I speak at a health school there I'll be there next week and I go to the little town of lovelin I have to tell you I think that they're bigger bigger than our big very large people in in those little towns so my my uh inquiry always is why and so the first thing I'm going to look at and there are a few factors that come together to cause this and that
number one is the food that we're eating when we looked at the liver we looked at this and this morning when we looked at diabetes we looked at this so we're going to look at again in relation to waight and it's the high carbohydrate diet that many people are eating today carb I'm still mastering the art of saying one thing and writing another so bread bread is very common cereal there's a whole aisle devoted to cereal and many people having bread and cereal for breakfast by midm morning they're wanting something else so they reach for
and we're just going to say cakes Etc because if we say everything um there's not enough room on the board for it when you go into muffins and croissants and donuts and pasta and pies and past etc etc etc so we're just going to put Etc also uh pasta I'm a fifth generation Australian Scottish descent I didn't know what pasta and pizza was till I was about 18 so what did I grow up with sausages or chops mashed potatoes frozen peas or beans every single night of the week except for Sunday when Mom would do
a roast lamb and everyone I knew ate like that our relatives ate like that the neighbors ate like that as a fifth generation Australian I grew up in a little Presbyterian Church everyone in the church ate like that I came to the conclusion as a child that everyone in the whole world ate like that but it's not quite true is it and when I was about 16 I had a boyfriend who was about 19 and he had a friend who was a vegetarian I'd never heard of such a thing I'd actually didn't had never even
heard of brown bread so this was real traditional Australian rice i' never had rice I don't think I went to a Chinese restaurant till I was about 18 and that's the first time I ate rice potatoes well we ate potatoes every meal and last and certainly least in nutritive value is the pure crystallized acid extracted from the sugar cane plant and as we have looked at this we've also acknowledge that I don't think anyone chose to eat that way it's just fast it's just there and we're such a fast society today here it is and
we showed how when all of these things break down in the body they break down to the singular structure of glucose all these high carb foods are a big reason why people end up gaining weight it mainly comes down to how our bodies process them when we eat things like bread cereal cakes pasta and potatoes they break down into glucose which is basically sugar our bodies use glucose for energy but the issue comes when we eat more than we need if there's too much glucose and we don't burn it off right away the body has
to figure out what to do with it the pancreas steps in and releases insulin which helps store that extra glucose some of it goes into the liver and muscles as glycogen but there's only so much space there once those stores are full the rest gets converted into fat and stored in fat cells this is how eating a lot of carbs ends up leading to weight gain carbs themselves aren't necessarily bad but eating too many refined ones ends up overwhelming the system these Foods also don't have much fiber or protein which makes them digest super fast
that quick digestion spikes blood sugar levels then they drop just as fast when that happens you end up feeling hungry again not long after you've eaten so you eat more this cycle of eating spiking blood sugar and feeling hungry again just pushes people to overeat and the weight adds up on top of that these types of foods are everywhere and they're convenient in a busy life it's easy to grab processed carb heavy Foods they become the main part of many people's diets instead of an occasional treat and that's when weight gain becomes a real problem
the sugar in these Foods makes things even worse sugar doesn't just add calories it triggers the brain's reward system making us crave more sugary stuff it's like a cycle where you crave eat and then crave more which makes it even harder to keep calories in check and stop gaining weight the best place to or the best time to exercise is early morning because in early morning when you're starting to move some people say well how are we going to get fuel to actually exercise it's your glycogen stores already sitting in your muscle cell and when
the when the cell needs it it's plucked and it's released amazing process but on the high carbohydrate diet and this is what a lot of people don't realize especially when people go on a weight loss diet and stop all the fat yeah fat free this fat free that fat free fat free fat free and yet what are they eating lots of carbohydr hydrates do you know fat gives the feeling of satiation or satisfaction and the best weight loss diet is a diet that stops your hunger and fat stops the hunger so what's happening on this
High carbohydrate diet people have eleminated the fat and they're eating lots and lots and lots of this not realizing that that excess glucose once we filled up the energy cycle we build up the glycogen stores and so now the body sends it to the fat cells and on this High carbohydrate diet what's happening to Americans and Australians they're getting bigger and bigger and bigger this increase in body size is largely due to how our bodies process excess carbohydrates when the glycogen stores in the muscles and liver are full any additional glucose from a carb diet
is converted to fat and stored in fat cells this is the body's way of managing Surplus energy and unfortunately it leads to increased fat accumulation over time the key issue is that many people who think they are eating healthily by avoiding fats are actually missing out on an important macronutrient that helps regulate hunger and energy levels fat particularly healthy fats is crucial for feeling full and maintaining a balanced diet without it people often turn to more carbohydrates to fill the Gap leading to a continuous cycle of glucose overload and fat storage incorporating healthy fats like
those found in avocados nuts seeds and olive oil into the diet can help curb hunger and reduce the tendency to ere carbohydrates a more balanced approach that includes moderate amounts of protein fats and low glycemic carbohydrates can help stabilize blood sugar levels enhance satiety and support sustainable weight management and another fact another very misunderstood fact is that glucose Burns at 4 calories per gram whereas fat it burns at 9 calories per gram now this this piece of information which is fact is in just about every weight loss book is proof that if you want to
lose weight don't eat the fat it's going to give you more than the calories but what the people don't understand is what a calorie is a calorie is a unit of energy and if you want a high energy food what do you eat ah fat it's going to give you more than twice the units of energy compared to glucose but if you're eating more calories than you can burn yes it's going to be stored that's why one of the best things that you can do for weight loss is to eat breakfast like a king I
have to admit that I think I eat lunch like a king and breakfast like a queen but whatever and sometimes the queen eats as much as the king lunch like a queen and then tea like a POA or you call it uh supper yeah I think that when I say tea you probably think I mean a of tea yeah but we call an evening meal tea and as one lady said to me well what a POA eat I said sometimes nothing mhm what many people are doing today and I see it in many countries I
go to they eat breakfast like the paa they eat lunch like the paa and the tea or the supper is the king and the queen together that's like going on a journey and you start your long journey and you go to the gas station we call it a petrol station call a gas station and just put a little bit in and then an hour later put a little bit more in and then an hour later put a little bit more in and then and then you've done this all day and then you finally get to
your destination you go into the gas station and you fill your tank and then park it in the garage how much sense does that make and yet that's what most people are doing I was reading the the testimony of a of a chef he was large obese and he said he used to eat little bits all day long all day long that's all he'd eat little bits all day long so he decided to do an experiment he decided to get all the little bits and put it into three meals having he KN he knew the
old saying and have most of it at breakfast and lunch and he lost a lot of weight and he ate the same amount of food and he ate the same type of food he just changed the times when he did it because he gave his stomach a break you see it's like um my husband he says I had a 2-hour job to do in the office today he said at the end of the day it's 8 hours later and I still haven't done it because he said someone would ring up someone would come into the
office I kept getting interrupted has that ever happened to you that's exactly what happens to digestion when we put food in our stomach we should now leave it let it do its work after about an hour and a half 2 hours start sipping on some water then you don't water down your hydrochloric acid it takes 3 and 1 half to 4 hours to digest a meal if you want to fuel your body properly and keep your metabolism running smoothly it's important to eat the right Foods at the right times think of your body as a
car getting ready for a long trip in the morning it needs enough energy to get through the day a hearty breakfast can Kickstart your metabolism and keep you energized which helps reduce the chance of overeating later on unfortunately many people skip breakfast or eat very little during the day only to consume most of their calories in the evening by that time your body doesn't really need all that fuel and any excess is likely to be stored as fat this pattern can lead to weight gain and metabolic problems over time instead aim for smaller balanced meals
throughout the day a breakfast rich in Protein healthy fats and complex carbohydrates can help keep your energy steady this not only keeps Cravings at Bay but also ensures your body is using the calories it gets rather than storing them you can do the plant proteins you can do the plant fats Dr Atkins on his first stage he got people down to 20 gram of protein of uh starch carbohydrates a day do you know there's no need to go that low all you need to do is greatly reduce the carbohydrates ideally stop the weight eat more
vegetables eat more legumes nuts and seeds and you can get a similar result because of the results that he was getting and by the way his cancer patients were going into a mission people with high cholesterol were coming back to normal did everyone hear that and his patients were eating meat buttercream cheese eggs and what are people told to get their cholesterol levels down they've got to stop there meat buttercream cheese eggs so Atkins threw a spanner in the nutrition world's wheel and it needed the spanner thrown into that wheel and the only reason his
patients got away with it for so long is the three cups of vegetables a day which which have an alkalizing effect but the beauty of the plant proteins it's much cleaner burning fuel it doesn't leave an acid waste like the protein does and when I was Consulting with this man he said to me I believe if Dr Atkins had read The China Study Atkins would have become a vegetarian what an interesting comment so you can do a you can get get those results but on you can do it on a plant diet as long as
you do the legumes and so many people say a leg we got to soak them you got to cook them well when you go home tonight just fill up the sauce bin and fill it up with lentils in the morning rinse it well bring it to the Bowl rinse it again put it in your slow cooker there's lots of shortcuts or rinse a soak a whole lot rinse heaps of them and then put them in snaplock bags in the freezer then you just pull P them out cook them there's lots of shortcuts and you can
get organic beans in tins just make sure you bring them to the boil and rinse them very well so this it's easy it need not be difficult when it comes to weight loss the foods you choose to include in your diet play a significant role plant-based proteins like legumes nuts and seeds are not only nutrient-dense but also help keep you full for longer this Sati can reduce overall calorie intake making it easier to create the calorie deficit necessary for weight loss unlike animal proteins which can be high in saturated fats and calories plant proteins offer
a lower calorie alternative that provides essential nutrients without excess calories moreover increasing your vegetable intake supports weight loss through their high fiber content fiber helps promote digestion and regulates blood sugar levels preventing spikes that can lead to Cravings the fiber found in vegetables and legumes slows down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream which helps maintain steady energy levels and reduces hunger pangs this can lead to fewer unhealthy snacking habits and a more consistent energy Supply throughout the day additionally many plant-based foods are naturally low in calories incorporating foods like leafy greens broccoli and other
non-starchy vegetables into your meals increases volume without significantly raising your caloric intake this means you can enjoy larger portions while still adhering to a calorie restricted diet which can make the weight loss process more satisfying another aspect of plant-based diets is their alkalizing effect which can support overall health an alkaline environment in the body helps reduce inflammation which can be a barrier to weight loss this approach promotes a healthier metabolism and can make it easier to lose weight over time thank you so much for joining me today I hope this video has given you some
