Eat Junk Food and Stay Skinny?

Eat junk food and stay skinny is that even possible and would you want to

coming right up hey I'm Dr. Ekberg with Wellness For Life and if you like to

and more searches more channels more questions are coming up with can I eat

this and still be skinny and what we want to try to answer is is that even

the right question so because obesity is epidemic in the

United States and the whole Western world and because it's associated with

so many other complications now we've come to the point where all disease is

blamed on obesity where most disease is blamed on it and it just doesn't work

like that so we'll try to clear up a few things around that so first of all

weight gain is primarily caused by insulin resistance insulin is a fat

storing hormone when you eat carbohydrates you trigger insulin

insulin is necessary to bring the sugar out of the bloodstream and into the cell

and once you become instantly resistant you have to make more and more insulin

to get the job done and eventually you get to the point where the cells say no

I don't want that sugar I can't use it I can't do away with it and now we develop

insulin resistance and weight gain because that insulin is a fat storing

hormone it prevents us from using the stored fat so that's the foundation now

eat junk food and stay skinny how do we do that well insulin resistance has to

do with eating food with a high glycemic index it has to do with how often we eat

food because every time you eat you trigger insulin that's a message to

store more fat so if you eat six times a day you're telling your body six times

to store fat if you eat once you're only telling your body to store fat once and

finally these are the first two there can

short-term influences their immediate influences but then there's a third

influence on insulin resistance and that's degeneration from deficiency and

toxicity so the pancreas which is located on your left side right about

here is the organ that makes it produces insulin so if we don't get the proper

nutrients over time over years decades and if we develop toxicity if we have

toxins and poisons that interfere with with the function of your body cells

then over time every cell in your body is going to work a little bit less it's

going to make it harder for the body cells to do their work and that includes

the pancreas so by eating a poor diet year after year after year you are

ending up with deficiency and toxicity so the work capacity of your pancreas is

getting worse and worse less and less until eventually it can't keep up so the

first two are related to the insult of the food the short term the immediate

urgency for the pancreas to make more insulin and the third one relates to the

long term inability due to weakness of the pancreas to produce this insulin so

this happens rather quickly this could take years or decades so let's look

first at what we're supposed to eat if we eat whole food meat fish natural

products grass-fed wild-caught we eat vegetables organic without pesticides

and we eat high quality fats like grass-fed butter extra virgin organic

olive oil coconut fat natural fats from nuts and avocado et cetera now we have a

low impact on glycemic index extremely low we have a low frequency of food

intake because the food is so rich and so nutritious and

satisfying that we don't feel a need to eat more than once or usually twice

maybe three times a day but that's typically only in the face of

transitioning into this most people who eat this way are not going to be hungry

more than twice a day there is none or low degeneration from the toxicity and

efficiency because the body we're not taking toxins in and we're giving the

body all the things it needs so this is optimal all the food is natural low

process the way we're designed to eat the way humans have eaten for hundreds

of thousands of years let's go to the extreme on the other end this is the

fast food the standard American diet the processed food the packaged food the

soda beer Donuts ice cream etc and glycemic index it's gonna have a medium

to high impact the high impact is going to be the sugar and the grains but it's

not going to be super high because they're gonna have some meat some

protein some fat in there so we got a medium to high glycemic index unless

they try to eat a low fat diet now that would make it even worse on the

frequency of food we could go all the way from low to high if people try to

abide by the advice to eat small frequent meals they might still eat this

way and eat six times a day or they can go to the other extreme like there's

some people experimenting with who eat once a day but they gorge themselves

they eat all their junk food and in one sitting and now you have a low frequency

of food but you're still just basically eating eating the processed garbage of

course with that type of diet we are taking in a lot of toxins and we're not

providing a lot of nutrition so the degeneration aspect is very high so then

some people say oh well I've heard of Kido I've heard of low carb dieting and

that's the way to lose weight and get skinny so that's what I'm gonna do and

so they stopped eating the sugary stuff but they don't understand the concept of

whole food so they end up somewhere in the middle so glycemic index would be

low because they've given up sugars and grains they've heard those are bad they

trigger insulin let's let's not eat those and because they're cutting away

their sugars they don't get as hungry they fill up with fat and protein so

they have a low to medium frequency they might eat once or twice or three times a

day but the degeneration aspect from deficiency and toxicity is very high

because unknowingly they're eating a lot of processed food so let's look at that

they typically still eat artificial sweeteners they eat a bunch of chemicals

in the form of preservatives and coloring and flavorings and msg and

yeast extracts and all what it's called they eat processed fats they don't care

if it comes from from margarine or processed canola oil they might eat

grain fed meat mass-produced toxic meats with a really poor fat profile then they

probably still eat pasteurized dairy they make no difference between cream

cheese or pasteurized milk or or whole yoghurt and they might eat farmed fish

so they're cutting back on their foods with the glycemic index so they're

reducing their insulin resistance but they're eating a lot of things that are

not good for their body that is causing a high rate of toxicity and degeneration

so the disease might take longer to develop and maybe they'll start gaining

weight eventually maybe not but it's not a healthy way because they're not

supporting their body so in this case it's optimal you will keep an

optimum quality of life you will maintain vitality and energy for as long

as possible here you'll feel good because you don't

have the insulin swings so you'll feel good for a while but you're very

unlikely to live as healthy as possible for as long as possible and over here

the disease will come rather quickly because you're violating the laws of

nature on so many points so here you've also added back in in addition to these

things that these people eat you're still eating sugar and white flour and

grain and high fructose corn syrup and so on so can you eat junk food and stay

skinny probably you can probably do that but is that really the goal is that

really what you want and again we have become so conditioned to put an equal

sign between disease and obesity people come in all the time and they say oh

well I have this back problem I have this headache and my doctor said if I

only lose some weight and they believe it but that's not the problem because

what is your goal is it health or is it to be skinny there's a lot of skinny

people with diabetes with heart disease with brain fog with fibromyalgia with

autoimmunity with stroke and cancer lots and lots and lots of them is there

slightly more people who are obese that get these yeah certainly because they're

violating their body at more levels but it doesn't mean that you're healthy just

because you're skinny so don't fall into that trap of oh I can eat whatever I

want as long as I avoid the sugar because it's not a healthy recipe

ask yourself what you're truly after and a lot of the people who go this way they

have such a short term horizon and they may still be young and they're thrilled

that they can lose some weight and they're 25 30 35 years old but it's

gonna catch up with them and fortunately I was one of those people

who didn't figure this out really quickly I would eat somewhere

between here and here for most of my life for most of my athletic career and

as a result my athletic career probably wasn't what it could have been even

though I did go to the Olympics and had some success but who knows what would it

be impossible if I didn't have all those injuries and if I had eaten to actually

support my body I ate five six thousand calories in these categories and I

worked out enough that I didn't develop much insulin resistance but I did

degenerate from deficiency and toxicity so you can't violate the laws of nature

you have to play by the rules I didn't make up the rules I just let you know

what they are so figure out what your health goal really is and I'm sure that

after you think a while it's not about weight it's about energy and vitality

and hobbies and hiking and playing with kids and grandkids and staying healthy

into your late years so that you can do what you want if you think about it I

would guarantee that your goals include all or most of those and it has very

little to do with weight so figure out your goal and figure out by watching

this channel how to stay healthy in a natural way by working with the body so

please share this video with as many people as possible because we have to

get this information this truth out there there are so many people getting

hurt by doing stupid things and eating all these chemicals and all these junk

and their only criteria is whether they lose weight or not it is very very

short-sighted if you enjoy this sort of content make sure you subscribe and hit
