Exercise and Insulin Sensitivity: The Parking Lot Analogy

[@KierhanEllisCoaching]

This is perhaps the most brilliant explanatory video I've come across on KZbin, that's very much for taking the time to make it!

[@universeusa]

I agree ☝️

[@lorenawilde3939]

Lovely Video clip! Apologies for the intrusion, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Damykrotia Natural Skin Magic (probably on Google)? It is a good one of a kind guide for reversing insulin resistance and diabetes minus the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my buddy at very last got amazing results with it.

[@ellenkno5233]

I concur!!!

[@LuisReyesYT]

Cheers for the video content! Excuse me for the intrusion, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Patlarny Sugar Outcome Principle (google it)? It is a great exclusive product for reversing diabetes without the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my work buddy got great success with it.

[@ginb1598]

This was great, thanks, been searching for "what is the best medicine for insulin resistance?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Panadison Substratal Preponderance - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is an awesome one off guide for discovering how to reversing insulin resistance and diabetes minus the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my colleague got excellent results with it.

[@Sara-fo9mj]

Wow, I’ve been type 1 diabetic for 10 years now, and this is the first time I found a great explanation like that. Thank you so much

[@nizamansari569]

What diet u follow

[@slickrick5596]

I dont get the hypoglycemia in type 1. Can you please explain further?

[@dennismartinez7168]

Dude, I looked at so many different videos, and no one has been able to explain it the way you just did. Thanks for making it so simple to understand

[@j.kailashkailash3241]

I am a 26 years old type 1 diabetic. Had a doubt about insulin sensitivity and its influence in muscle growth for a long time. This explanation helped me a lot

[@sandispady9058]

The BEST explanation.

[@JesusBeliever4Life]

This explains exactly what I was confused about. This was an amazing way to explain. Thank you so much, God bless you

[@MrTopexz]

Best analogy I've ever heard about insulin sensitivity!!!

[@pepsico815]

Awesome explanation. This could also help people with acne. Less insulin = less IGF-1 = less androgens = less sebum = less acne.

[@E27043]

Actually getting leaner means higher testosterone production, testosterone is produced because the body wants a certain amount of estrogen, because fat cells produce estrogen, when you're fat the body does not neet to produce a lot of testosterone to convert into estrogen because your adipose tissue produces enough by itself. When you diet down and lose fat, the body starts to produce more testosterone so that it can be aromatized into estrogen.

[@sundaysmith5942]

This was the best video explaining insulin storage especially for me, my dad just started on insulin at the age of 80ish

[@sillygirl1139]

An brilliant analogy. I completely understand why I am where I am, what my body is currently doing what it is and what I need to do to improve. Out of 100 videos this has probably had the greatest impact and been the most worthwhile watch. THANK YOU!! Subscribed.

[@GLUCOSEZONE]

Wonderful! We are so happy to hear that this has helped you so much!

[@vilma1850]

the most comprehendable content. one can heal easily if applying rhis knowledge. Brilliant. Thank you.

[@0anant0]

Very well explained. Dr Jason Fung has also explained it similarly using a 'basement freezer' v/s a 'kitchen refrigerator' analogy. It would have been nice if the video provided info on how much glucose liver and muscles can store for a typical male/female (before being stored as fat cells) and how long the glucose stays in the blood stream before it is shuttled to the 'parking lots'.

[@arroyobaby38]

FINALLY someone who explains it where its so easy to understand!! Thank you!!

[@etchebowskijr8886]

This is a fantastically explained video! Well done

[@One21Jiggawatts]

This is the best explanation of insulin resistance Ive ever heard. Thank you for this brilliant and simple explanation.

Love your genius analogy.... Easy for me to understand

[@rebeccawoods4488]

I've been trying to understand diabetes for over two years. I've listened to many, many explanations, but, thanks to yours, it has finally clicked. Thank you very much.

[@GLUCOSEZONE]

This is one of the best things to read and I am so happy you now understand what diabetes is all about! If we can help in any other way, let us know!

[@tonybp]

This video is 10 years old and so far, it has the best explanation on what's going on with insulin and glucose.

[@Insomniac4791]

This was perfect - informative and right to the point. Thank you!

[@getfitwithakshit]

The best explaination I have ever heard. Fabulous.

[@2730468]

Your explanation is very clear with that kind of examples. Thank you so much. Spanish version will be great.

[@KuruKuruGorilla]

Like everyone else, best video on YT about insulin sensitivity, this video deserve millions of views 💪😀👍

[@4sh024]

You explained yourself very well! This was very easy to understand! I learned a lot from watching this video! thank you so much!

[@deepakzaveri7782]

This is the best and brilliantly explained video. I have never come across such an easy explanation. Thanks for this video.

[@DeniseNTexas]

Charlie, I'm so glad to see a new video from you and really like this one. It's a very good explanation of a complicated process. I know you explained this to me on the phone but this video is a good reminder and something to pass on. Thank you!

[@GLUCOSEZONE]

Hi Denise! Glad you liked it, please share with others who may also benefit.... Thanks! Sincerely Charlie

[@fitbritt1]

This is great, I'm going to share it with my Sport Nutrition classes. Thank you!

[@jorgerodriguez-ig5oe]

This explanation is amazing! it's the best I've come across even in 2021 thank you so much! question, since injecting insulin makes you gain weight, will a slow acting insulin do the same like Tresiba? that's what I use every night before bed.

[@FrancesWellington]

Excellent presentation Charlie. Much appreciated.

[@elizabethk3238]

From s career educator, you are sn excellent teacher. Thank you!

[@leightontunnell6438]

I would certainly have to agree. I'm so glad I took the time to listen to your presentation. You are a brilliant man. Your explanation about glucose was Profound for me and much needed. You've given me new hope ..insight and I'm so Grateful!!!

[@motherof1doll.]

Thank you for trying to make this easily understandable!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@prashanthb6521]

Very well explained. Thanks.

Your welcome. Glad to help!

[@petersandy1628]

Ahhhh I`m following this bonny lad, he explains this in easy terms, I`m totally confused with all the diabetic info. Too technical medical jargon. Brilliant. Thank you

[@brolicartrixing4111]

This was dope. You are an exceptional teacher. Thank you

[@KevinSmith-4Liberty]

Wow! Thank you for explaining this! Been on keto/carnivore for almost 3 years now. I'm at ideal body weight (lost 40 lbs) lowered my A1C from 5.9 to 5.0 but I'm still insulate resistant. I don't exercise. My morning fasting glucose is 126. Time to start exercising!

[@Acts-1322]

For sure. Also just a heads-up, A1C and other fasting tests (even fasting insulin tests) are basically worthless.. A1C missed a whopping 73% of full on diabetics 😮 check the video "Kraft insulin test" by Dr Jamnadas. It's like a GTT but with insulin. Good luck!

[@julioiglesias1885]

[@sajidmalik7795]

Excellent Explanation thumbs up.

[@lindamclelland1940]

i recently found your glucosezone videos and i have to say i am sorry to see you don't have any other exercises for type 1 and type 2 videos posted :( . I have been doing your beginner level in the 50-60 heartrate zone and i have to thank you for it. I have had tight calf muscles for decades and suffer from many muscle spasms and i have finally found a bit of relief. It's a shame that you only do in person coaching/training thru your fitscript, if ever you decide to offer a video program membership i would gladly sign up...keeping an eye out for you on youtube ;) Keep doing what you're doing, you are helping many~

[@GLUCOSEZONE]

[@teinluu9509]

So when the liver and the muscle parking lot is empty, does that mean the adipose tissues come in to provide more energy, thus losing weight.?

[@GLUCOSEZONE]

Yes!

[@psylee8687]

I remember reading Jason fung's blog saying that during a fast, your body has about 24 hours of glycogen and glucose. So for a 24 hour fast, speed up burning the rest of your glycogen/glucose reserves by doing some jump roping or other high intensive exercise. Exercise increases insulin sensitivity, fasting increases insulin sensitivity. Glucose/glycogen gone, adipose tissues come in to fill the void in the last hours of your fast.

[@azizkash286]

[@shirleygammage104]

I have been diagnoses with diabetes 15 plus yrs ago. Last yr Feb. my a1c was 12.7% at date it's 7%. I am 52 yrs young, 5'6 1/2 wt 145. the only carbs I have is only 15-20% per day which is only veggies. I exercise every other day for 30 minutes and I take supplements and vitamins. Since I've been eating this way for 3 months now...my blood sugar was awesome. Within a month of eating like this my a1c went from 7.4% to 7.0%....yaaaaaay.....but wait....I am and have been eating the same diet and in the last 2 weeks my blood sugar have gone up into the 200's. Any explanation of what is going on.

[@robbgambino8009]

Thank you very informative.

[@GLUCOSEZONE]

Glad to hear you enjoyed!

[@randomuploads8637]

This explains why diabetics like myself are able to build muscle & burn fat quickly with training a good diet!

[@rachelsmename6]

Great explanation. The only question I'm left with is: What type of exercise works best?

[@felipea1844]

I'm not understanding what makes the muscle grow and keeps the muscle large after the workout, if, the glucose is depleted after the workout. So glucose is transformed into muscle at some point?

[@GLUCOSEZONE]

Hi Felipe! Protein makes your muscle grow. Glucose "fills" the muscle.

[@jenniferstancil5700]

This is great but I’m insulin sensitive with extremely low sugar. So.. working out reduces my sugar even lower making me feel awful!

[@kevintravelPH]

Exercise...Does it open the parking lot even when insulin is around?

[@GLUCOSEZONE]

Great question! It does! The only thing is that insulin prevents the use of fat as energy, so if insulin were present then the use of fat wouldn't be available but the glucose would be the energy source-mainly from the liver.

[@Kevinschart]

this is an excellent video. the concept of emptying the muscles of glycogyn is how i calculated how much exercise i needed vs carb intake to lose about 1 lb per week. sounds like i was on the right track.

[@hrushikeshsonsurkar]

If we eat lot of carbohydrates such as rice after heavy runnning and exercise then could it cause a reactive hypoglycemia?

[@leightontunnell6438]

I wanted to ask you. May seem like a dumb question. But, up until now..watching your videos this a.m. I didnt understand this diabetes thing at all. My question is, I took my glucose this a.m. its 133. Should I eat before I work out to avoid hypothermia? Or do I eat afterwards. Checking my numbers before I format and adjust insulin to my number after I excercise?

[@universaldonor3100]

1/4/19 fasting glucose 108; A1C 5.6; fasting insulin 42 (range 2.1-24.2 per labcorp) started keto diet 6/5/19 lost 32 lbs; fasting glucose 102; A1C 5.2; fasting insulin 48.....wth?!!!! carbs were never more than 50g/day...usually 30 and did intermittent fasting with 6 hour window for meals....what is happening?

[@GLUCOSEZONE]

There are many other factors that could be contributing to this and I encourage you to speak to your healthcare provider (as it depends on if you are on medications at all) and create a free account with us to speak to some of our coaches!

[@Geopolitic157]

Good information to a point....Fasting is even a bigger part of the equation.

[@angelrodriguez3069]

Excellent explanation!:)

[@theskepticcoder7883]

so why do i get high suger levels when i wourkout.. people tell you to execrsise and when you do you have the exact oposite effect,

[@raunakbapna3403]

Not only easy and simple but excellent

[@GLUCOSEZONE]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ART-gj8uk]

So then is it a bad thing to eat a heavy carb and protein meal after you workout?

[@misbahriaz6779]

I'm already thin and I've insulin resistant.... Should I do squats?

[@befree9579]

yes. add bodyweight excercises. after 4 months ur body will improve by 20% easily.

[@johndoh1000]

I’m still not clear on how this affects insulin resistance. This is just a guess, but insulin resistance just means your cells are less efficient in receiving insulin. They still can receive it, but they don’t take in as much. So if you work out, increase your muscle mass [muscle cell count] then you’ll also produce more cells that in turn can utilize the same amount of glucose provided. Thanks for providing the analogy this helped me work out my own view on how insulin should work.

[@GLUCOSEZONE]

Insulin resistance means that the insulin that is in the system is not effective at opening up the cells to receive sugar from the blood. Think of it like a lock and key-the key doesnt open the door. If you workout, you change the shape of the lock (and there are more locks) to better fit the key (insulin) and open the door for the sugar to go!

[@RohitYadav-pu9ep]

Brilliant explanation 👍

[@heatherunderwood3503]

I am not diabetic but have been experiencing hypoglycemia, especially after working out. I have also been gaining fat since this began. What causes this and how can I continue to work out with this problem?

[@doctorj7112]

Glad it helped!

[@arunadoraiswamy]

Thanks for the great explanation, it has made me understand my weight gain better. I have been following your videso regularly. I’m 60 years, I have type two diabetes from almost 20 years. I was on oral medication for many years, about 4 years back I was diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy in both my eyes. I have been on treatment ever since. My eyes have been affected very severely. Right now, I’m on insulin injections 4 times a day & I have gained a lot of weight. Since i have this eye condition, I’m unable to go for walks. I have to reduce my weight. I’m unable to understand what type of exercise I should do, as I can’t do any strenuous exercises. Please can you guide me on what type of exercises to do for reducing my weight. Help me.

[@GLUCOSEZONE]

Hi Aruna, Thank you for writing in and sharing a bit about your condition with us! Diabetes is a very difficult thing to deal with and we are here as you support and partner in this journey so welcome to the GlucoseZone! Do you live with type 1 or type 2 diabetes? Either way the chair based exercises would be the best for you to practice as a first step for a while and make sure you are testing your blood sugars as well but please ask your physician about the best exercises for you to do so that your treatments are not affected at all and you have proper guidance and clearance.

[@arunadoraiswamy]

GLUCOSEZONE Thank you for the prompt reply. I have type 2 Diabetics. I will definitely find out from my physician about the exercises I should be doing, ut my question is will chair based exercises help me to reduce my weight?? It’s more about my weight than my sugars. Since a few years I have put on a lot of weight . Right now I’m doing ‘Best total body exercise for type 2 diabetes from your Glucose zone. I started only a couple of days back. Now my only aim in life is my weight reduction. Will it the total body exercise for type 2 diabetes help me reduce. Please let me know. Sorry for the trouble. Have a good day. .

[@GLUCOSEZONE]

No trouble at all! Your answer is YES :) Anything that gets the blood sugars in a lower range will help with weight reduction because remember insulin (present when blood sugars are high) prevents fat loss. If you would like further explanation on this, I highly encourage you to check out our parking lot analogy videokzbin.info/www/bejne/rJ2Vd2WMirWMb6s Let me know what you think!

[@arunadoraiswamy]

GLUCOSEZONE Thank you for explaining about weight loss & its relation to blood sugar. I watched your video on parking lot analogy. Now I can understand how sugars get accumulated in certain areas of our body & due to that the weight increases. It’s a great eye opener for me. Thank you once again for your help. If I have any doubt or if I need your help in future, I can write to you isn’t it?🙏

[@GLUCOSEZONE]

So glad you understand it better now! Of course, you are always able to write in to us whenever you wish!

[@no22sill]

You're saying that the body cannot utilize fat for energy as long as there is insulin running in our blood, however I've heard that walking utilises fat stores without even needing to deplete the glycogen stores. So what am I to believe? Say for example I go for a walk after a hearty lunch when my insulin levels are pretty high, will I still burn fat?

[@GLUCOSEZONE]

No. Your body will use the energy from the food first. That is not necessarily a bad thing. It is better to burn the energy from the food than to store it as fat.

[@patrickkeenan7290]

YAAAAASSSSS THIS WAS AMAZING THANK YOU SO MUCH!
