10 Signs You're Eating Too Much Fat

Hello Health Champions today we're going to talk  about the top 10 signs that you're eating too  

much fat and it's really really important you  understand these 10 signs because most people  

don't get enough fat now it is very possible  to eat too much also which we are going to talk  

about but the in fact the first four signs we're  going to talk about are false and yet they are the  

ones that you hear the most often so number 10  is that eating too much fat would cause weight  

gain and that is false eating too much fat would  cause insulin resistance and that is also false  

and the reason most people buy into the idea that  fat causes weight gain is that fat has a lot of  

calories it's very calorie dense and that's  why we store energy as fat because it's the  

most calorie dense it's it's an effective way  to store but it's not the fat that causes the  

storage it is a hormone called insulin insulin is  the fat storing hormone but fat does not trigger  

insulin when you eat fat you burn the fat when  you eat carbohydrates now you trigger blood sugar  

which is going to have to be stored somehow  because we can't keep high blood sugar it has  

to get out of the bloodstream into the cell we  can store a little bit as carbohydrate but the  

rest gets stored as fat so it's the insulin that's  storing the fat but most of that fat stored comes  

from carbohydrates because fat in itself does not  trigger insulin so fat does not cause fat storage  

unless we eat the really bad combination of high  carbohy hydrates and high fat because now we get  

the insulin from the high carbs we get a bunch  of extra calories from fat and now because of  

the high insulin we're going to store both and  that obviously is going to cause weight gain but  

there's one more problem and that's of overe  eaing and where does that come from because  

insulin resistance high levels of insulin causes  increased lipogenesis meaning making fat from  

other things and that's primarily carbohydrate  of course but High insulin levels also prevent  

lipolysis which is the breaking down of fat so now  what happens when you have high insulin levels the  

tendency is for you to store more and burn less  so now when between meals what's going to happen  

if your insulin is high you get more hungry it  is more more difficult to go longer without food  

when your insulin is high and therefore insulin  resistance makes you hungry and will cause you to  

eat more food and that causes weight gain so it's  the carbohydrates and the insulin resistance that  

causes weight gain and it's the carbs that cause  the insulin resistance not the fat sign number  

eight says that after eating a lot of fat you get  tired after eating it that is also false and in  

fact what causes you to be tired is just eating  too much food a combination of fat protein and  

carbohydrates also known as the Thanksgiving  syndrome which I'm sure all of you have  

experienced and here's another myth very often we  hear that what makes you tired at Thanksgiving is  

the turkey that the turkey contains tryptophan  and the body uses tryptophan to make the  

Sleepy hormone melatonin because you have so much  tryptophan that what makes you tired that is false  

what makes you tired again is eating an enormous  amount of food and a combination of high carbs  

and high fat that is now going to trigger a lot  of blood sugar and a lot of insulin and now what  

happens when insulin is high and blood glucose is  high now your cells become insulin resistant and  

you have to do something else with all that blood  sugar and if the cells don't want the blood sugar  

because you're insulin resistant now the body one  more way the body can get rid of it is to turn it  

into triglycerides which is known as blood fat  and this all places a huge burden first you're  

trying to break down all that food which is hard  work because you overloaded the body and it uses a  

lot of energy to break down food but now you have  to use extra energy to convert that glucose into  

triglyceride hence you become tired after eating  but it's not the fat and it's not the turkey it's  

the amount of food and the fact that you include  a bunch of carbohydrate it's not the turkey it's  

the turkey with the stuffing and the gravy and the  pecan pie and what's going to happen is also the  

more insulin resistant you are the worse this  problem gets and you don't even have to eat an  

enormous amount of food or a Thanksgiving dinner  you're going to notice a lot of times after eating  

you become tired and number seven is another  misconception that the primary organ affected  

by eating too much fat is the heart because we  heard so many times that high fat diets cause  

heart disease but again it is not the fat that's  doing it that's false it is the carbohydrates and  

the insulin resistance that results from eating  carbs over a long period of time it is not the  

amount of fat that causes any problem unless of  course like we said you eat the fat together with  

carbs so if you eat high carbs high fat that's  a really bad combination because the carbs will  

trigger insulin the insulin will store all the  excess and when you eat carbs together with fat  

you tend to eat way more food altogether but what  does matter about eating fat is the quality of  

the fat and we have over and over been told to  eat the wrong kinds of fat so vegetable oil is  

not the healthy thing first of all there's no  such thing as vegetable oil because they don't  

squeeze the oil oil from vegetables it's not from  lettuce or arugula or broccoli that they make the  

oil they make it from other things and they have  to process it very harshly that makes it toxic  

so that's not a an oil that you should consume  these commercial so-called vegetable oils what  

you want to consume is natural saturated stable  fat so the stable fats are monounsaturated like  

in olive oil or saturated like in animal fats if  you eat those unspoiled then you can eat large  

amounts of fat and not develop any heart disease  as long as you don't combine it with carbohydrates  

and insulin resistance and the best way to reduce  insulin resistance is to cut back on the carbs and  

increase the fats and we're going to talk some  more about that so the four things that we just  

covered are false which brings us to the ones that  are actually true and there we're going to start  

with the number one organ affected by eating too  much fat is in fact the gallbladder because the  

gallbladder is the primary thing that processes  fat that processes fat first so the first actual  

sign of eating too much fat could be diarrhea and  the reason is that if your gallbladder has some  

trouble and the point here is that it's not the  fat really causing it but if your gallbladder is  

already bad if it already has some problems if it  can't release enough bile now if you eat a lot of  

fat now you can't break it down you can't emulsify  that fat because the gallbladder releases bile  

which is like a detergent to the fat it breaks up  the fat particles so that you can use fat enzymes  

called lias to digest it and absorb it and if you  can't do that properly now the body has no choice  

but to flush it out and if your gallbladder is  really low in activity and you eat a ton of fat  

now your body is pretty much just going to flush  it out and sign number five is floating stool so  

that means you go to the bathroom and then as  you look at the results you see that it floats  

so why would it do that well if you don't have the  bile to break down the fat or you don't have the  

enzyme lipas if your pancreas is not super healthy  healthy then you also can't break down the fat it  

may not be as bad as the previous case with the  diarrhea but if you're incomplete in breaking  

down the fat now you also can't absorb it so any  unabsorbed fat is still going to be there and the  

fact that fat is lighter than water means that  the stool is going to float so if it does that  

that means that you may eating too much fat at  least for your ability to break it down another  

problem that can happen is burping and bloating  more so burping and indigestion discomfort and  

that would happen again because the gallbladder is  not working if you don't release enough bile now  

that fat that you're eating doesn't get properly  emulsified it's like we don't have that detergent  

to break it down now the fat drop droplets are  too large and start creating problems sign number  

three is shoulder pain and it's going to be on  the right hand side because the gallbladder is  

on the right side under the liver and there's  a referral pain pattern most organs have a pain  

pattern of referral and gallbladder happens to  have it on the right side of the shoulder so if  

you look at a person from behind then we have the  arms here and we have the shoulder blades and the  

pain pattern is going to be all the way up into  the neck it's going to be all the way across the  

upper trapesius and it's also going to down go  down to the intrascapular between the shoulder  

blades and around the shoulder blade area so  anything in this area could be a gallbladder  

problem so a lot of shoulder pain actually happens  to be gallbladder problems sign number two is pain  

in the gallbladder area and now it's the actual  gallbladder that's hurting and the pain would be  

on the right hand side under the liver right  where your rib cage starts at the bottom and  

what's causing this pain is that the gallbladder  is congested it's sludgy it's full full of thick  

stuff that doesn't flow properly it could be  stones in there but it doesn't have to be and when  

this gets bad enough then it can start hurting and  it could even cause you to vomit anytime that you  

eat something and if it gets really bad and you  go to the emergency room and you point to your  

gallbladder and you say that you're throwing up  and it really hurts now they're going to perform  

a colis cystectomy they're going to remove your  gallbladder and in some cases it is necessary  

to remove it but in most cases you can heal the  gallbladder again so if you have severe pain and  

you throw up when you eat another solution rather  than taking the gallbladder out immediately is  

don't eat and that's a novel concept for a lot of  people they don't understand that it is possible  

to not eat but it is called fasting intermittent  fasting or somewhat extended fasting Ing and if  

it happens to be imposed or forced Onto You  by a gallbladder attack then that's not such  

a bad thing it just means that you get some  involuntary fasting but if it doesn't kill you  

to fast a little bit then it's not going to kill  you to not eat when the cause is the gallbladder  

either but in addition to not eating and giving  your gallbladder a rest you also want to help it  

clean out a little bit and some products that can  be very good is coplex from Standard Process kdir  

from systemic formulas which is more of a stone  breaking formula but it can also help uh cleanse  

and release some pressure on the gallbladder  and another one is GB tone gallbladder tone  

from energetics and they can be very helpful if  you have a severe attack or if you're just even  

starting to experience some discomfort or if you  notice some of these signs and symptoms after you  

eat then it is good thing to start working on that  before it gets really really serious and I'll put  

some links down below where you can get them if  you want to give it a try and the number one sign  

that you're probably going to be interested in  is if you eat too much fat you may stop weight  

loss and a lot of people know that you can get on  a Keto enic diet and start burning fat by eating  

more fat but it's not eating more fat it's eating  less carbohydrate and if you cut the carbs way  

back now your insulin starts coming down and you  actually have access to the body source and you  

can start burning body fat that's the whole point  of a low carb or a ketogenic diet and once you get  

into ketosis you can measure that with blood  sticks then you know that you're burning fat  

in ketosis your body is primarily getting energy  from fat but here's what's really important to  

understand when you start keto that your certain  amounts of carbohydrate fat and protein that  

you're supposed to eat so let's say that you're  eating 2500 calories in the beginning now at  

first you don't want to try to restrict the total  amount of food that you eat you're trying to get  

fat adapted so if you eat 30 gram of net carbs  you eat about 100 gram of protein and then you  

eat the rest fat you eat until you're full to  get into ketosis and get your body burning fat  

then you're going to be at about 2500 calories  and if we calculate the percentages of calories  

coming from these different macros then we get 5%  of calories from carbs 16% from protein and the  

rest 79% from fat so that would be a high fat low  carb moderate protein diet and if you do that for  

even just a few days or a week or so now you're  going to get fat adapted your body is going to  

learn how to get its energy from primarily fat  and that's the whole point you want to teach  

your body that and now your insulin starts coming  down but here's where a lot of people get into  

trouble because even if you're in ketosis which  proves that you're burning fat if you're eating  

this much fat the body may not burn any fat off  the body all the fat you're burning to get into  

ketosis might come from dietary fat which is why  you're not losing weight so what you want to do  

after you've done this initial phase now you  want to start cutting back on fat so that your  

body can burn it off the body instead because  that's the the whole point so now you probably  

want to keep your carbs about the same you eat  leafy greens and non-starchy vegetables you keep  

your proteins about the same but let's say that  you cut back on your fat by a 100 gram so now  

you're eating 120 gram of fat now your Macros that  you're ingesting are actually going to change so  

these are kind of the classic macros five 1580  or 5679 those are classic keto macros but now  

that you cut back on the dietary fat you're going  to stay in ketosis because you're eating the same  

amount of carbs and protein but the percentages  in the macros change so now those 30 grams become  

8% the 100 grams of protein becomes 25% because  you're eating fewer calories overall and now the  

fat gets down to 68% of your calories and if you  add all that up that's about 1,600 calories so now  

you're down from 2500 to 1,600 but if you've done  this right and you maintain a moderate amount of  

activity and you stay fat adapted what happens  most of the time is you're still perfectly full  

and your body is still burning 2 500 calories even  though you're just eating 1,600 which is the whole  

point because now you've created an incentive  for the body to burn the fat off the body so  

now you're still burning the same amount of fat  but only 120 grams comes from the diet and 100  

grams comes from the body so these are not exact  numbers these are examples you're going to have  

to modify these based on activity level based on  body body size based on results Etc but you don't  

want to starve yourself you want to become fat  adapted first so that your body can start using  

body fat for energy if you enjoyed this video  you're going to love that one and if you truly
