SHRINK and BURN FAT Cells by Keeping Insulin Low and Overcoming Insulin Resistance | Dr. Ben Bikman

Dr. Ben Bikman, the bestselling author of Why We Get Sick, talks about how to shrink and burn fat cells by working to keep your insulin low throughout the day through controlling carbs and fasting. When insulin is low, your metabolic rate is higher, and you’ll burn more fat.

Now i understand how i lost 50lbs in 5 months eating until i was stuffed. Part of it was because i was excreting things of caloric value. Through breath, sweat, stool, and urine. You dont have to burn all the energy you intake. You can store or excrete it.

[@karenohanlon4183]

I wonder if there were clinics set up to facilitate insulin lowering. To the extent that the insulin is lowered to optimal levels would that set people up to control their diets? Three weeks of supervision fasting and then armed with the information Ben is providing seems to me to be the way forward to breaking the sugar fructose cycle. Great video packed with info. I have to strip the fridge and larder of anything with sugar or flour in it. If it is there I will eat it. Yet I can work all day fasted until I get home without any thought of food. Breaking the habit of addictive foods is important. Keep it out of the house first step I think.

He said, lowering insulin does not affect fat. He said, if you lose weight, it will lower your insulin. Am I understanding wrong, or is he right? Thank you!!!!

[@heartdisciple]

Is there a way to quickly remove fat from the blood in the very moment of experiencing the sickness and headaches of insulin resistance? Anything to take to quickly get the fat out? Or just fasting for a day? Which I do but suffering all day and it tends to get worse throughout the day.

[@evianx1]

If a person is in ketogenesis ketones are the fuel. Studies were done on fasted people ,in the 70s where they had glucose levels almost undetectable and the subject were perfectly fine because their keystones were so high

[@managbanagjoy]

@@evianx1 If insulin is low liver creates glucose with the hormone glucagon

[@Ryan_DeWitt]

@@evianx1 BS. If you're glucose levels in the blood were so low they were almost undetectable, you would pass out and die. The brain still needs glucose and can't run 100% off of ketones. Plus red blood cells can't use ketones and need glucose.

[@witcheater]

From what I poorly understand is the insulin is triggered out of the spleen(?) almost all the time (save for animal fats), but refined food stuffs pull insulin out a second body organ, maybe the liver? So one gets a double shot of insulin for intaking refine carbs and naked sugars. Correct me if I am incorrect in any way. I want to know so I get more correct the next time I recall the info.

[@strictnonconformist7369]

Insulin is created in the pancreas unless the pancreas fails to make it, as in type 1 diabetes. It is the only organ that creates insulin. Insulin is involved with far more than just blood sugar regulation and energy storage. You really should read up on it, nobody is going to write you the books on it in these comments.

I dunno I saw a guy who drinks sugar water everyday and his blood test for everything was outstanding plus he was thin.. I tried drinking sugar water to see what it would do.. but I'm diabetic.. when I drank it it was much harder to get my blood sugar to come down.. after a couple days drinking it I stopped and then all of a sudden my blood sugar was like plummeting and going low .. I did see a study where they took type 2 diabetics and gave them sugar and rice and it cured them.. I've never included sugar in the history of my diet. Anyway..I don't think sugar is a problem.. I still don't know how I feel about it though considering it was hard to control my blood sugar then it went low.. not sure if I should include it or not.. I will say though that after I consumed it my sex drive went up .. as mine has been low for awhile..

@@cps_Zen_Run But it is interesting that the age to receive social security was 65 in 1935. Most people didn’t live to the ripe old age of 65, so the government in its infinite wisdom knew that most people would never collect social security. So why weren’t people living up to 65 or beyond when they were eating much healthier foods? I understand your comment regarding infant mortality being used as an average perhaps. But longevity has gone up year after year. If the food is so bad, and I agree it is, why didn’t people live to very old ages?

Whoever wrote this isn’t a zoologist or anatomist with all due respect. For example We don’t salivate for dog food like dogs because we have completely different tastes to natural meat-eaters. Humans can’t eat muscle etc. without cooking and smothering with flavors. We are pure herbivores. Just in case Let me put of colloquially for you: unga bunga! People don’t have the instinct to kill animals or else fresh roadkill and the stench of death would not nauseate them. It’s why kindergartens go pumpkin-picking and not the slaughterhouse which are kept far away from the towns so the literal screams can’t be heard or abattoir smelled. It’s not the food their physiologies were meant for. The fact that humans freeze and have no fur proves that’s an unnatural environment for them. It’s why Eskimos have worse health the more they rely exclusively on meat. Humans are meant to live in tropical climates where fruit and leafy greens are abundant. Mostly so-called Neanderthals lived near the glacier borders and they didn’t survive well there. The environment is hostile to humans. We barely have any covering like fur. We have to artificially resort to clothing. We don’t salivate for dog food like dogs because we have completely different tastes to natural meat-eaters. Humans are pure herbivore (taxon: frugivore, like fruit-eating gorillas). Human jaws move sideways like a cow and deer or gorilla (are we closer to wolves than gorillas?). Omnivores/carnivores can only chew up and down like a dog or cat-not sideways. We grind our food with our flat teeth whereas real meat-eaters chomp their food. Humans are frugivores like gorillas: blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/human-ancestors-were-nearly-all-vegetarians/ Humans have a low ph with food in the stomach. Once we eat our ph becomes like that of an herbivore (It’s misleading to claim low ph in the human stomach acid being correlated to omnivores’ low ph-not so when food is being digested, the important part). You have long intestines also exactly like a monkey whereas meat-eaters have very short digestive tracks. Finally frontal eyes don’t make you a meat-eater either. Gorillas and monkeys etc also have forward-looking eyes for depth perception, etc. Many carnivores like sharks also have eyes on the sides of the face. Humans also sweat which meat-eaters don’t do (they use the tongue for ventilation as they can’t sweat, or paws. Mammalian omnivore pores are minimal). Meat eaters also have claws and sharp teeth which humans don’t. Our hands are designed to pick fruits obviously. We can’t even outrun predators. Humans and Herbivores have an appendix, well-developed Facial muscles, expanded jaw angle, jaw joint location above the plane of the molars, jaw motion (sideways), carbohydrate-digesting enzymes in saliva, pH 4-5 stomach acidity with food in the stomach, the liver cannot detoxify vitamin A, moderately concentrated urine in the kidney, etc. I could go on and on and on and on! We are obviously anatomically herbivore taxon frugivore like gorillas and apes-not even omnivore. No one salivates at fresh roadkill but they do when they see fruit which wants to be eaten. We couldn’t even kill and eat most animals since we aren’t fast enough nor do we have the anatomy such as claws and fangs etc. We see the full color spectrum (except x-rays etc) like herbivores whereas meat eaters don’t. Our major jaw musles are messeter and pterygolds whereas in meat eaters it’s temporalis. The peristalsis of meat eaters don’t require fiber to stimulate but herbivores like humans do. Our stomach acid with food in it has a ph of 4-5 like herbivores rather than the 1 or less for Omni/carnis. The placenta of meat eaters is zonary-shaped whereas in plant eaters like humans it’s discoid. Meat eaters can digest vitamin A in large amounts (liver detoxification) whereas we herbivores can’t. We also sweat through our skin not our tongues. We have smooth tongues like monkeys and most herbivores (not tough like omnivore/carnivores). Our digestive track is 9 times the length of our bodies like apes, whereas other herbivores have 20 times the length, whereas carni/omnivores’ is 1.5-3 times. We have alkaline saliva like herbivores, we have well-developed facial muscles to facilitate chewing whereas omni/carnivores don’t have strong facial muscles in order to facilitate gaping their mouths wide for swallowing (just as meat eaters mostly have jaws that only move up and down for chomping whereas humans can move the jaw sideways for chewing like cows, deers, monkeys. Humans have simple livers whereas meat eaters have complex. Herbivore bile flow is weak compared to that of meat eaters, and it takes us much longer to digest food. The mammaries of Meat eaters are squally multiple teats for large broods whereas plant eaters may have multiple teats to nurse litters or only one or two children at a time (like humans /frugivores having dual breasts). Meat eaters are 100% covered in fur whereas herbivores have pores and humans aren’t hairy at all. We have sweat glands all over the body whereas meat eaters only have them in their paws and cool down thorough panting (Mammalian omnivore pores are minimal). We have long sacculated colons like herbivores (since we are one) whereas meat eaters have short, smooth colons. We have carb-digesting enzymes in our saliva like ptyalin whereas meat eaters don’t (they use lysosomes). Our brains are fueled by glycogen; Omni/carnis use fats/proteins. I could go on but you get it. Carnivores will have 4 limbs and paws with claws (omnivores might have paws or hooves). Herbivores have hooves. Primate frugivores have arms and prehensile hands & feet (humans don’t have prehensile feet). Meat eaters and herbivores walk on all fours. Frugiovre primates sometime walk upright and man only upright. Carnivores have claws, omnivores either claws or blunt hooves like herbivores, and frugivores like primates/man, flattened nails.

OMG this guy has no idea what even causes insulin resistance. It troubles me to see such bad advice....I agree we should not be drinking processed refined sugars but that will not cause insulin resistance which modern nutrition science says is caused by the storage of fat in cells not intended to store fat....like muscles, pancreas, and liver. Eat fat and drink processed refined sugar and it is the worse thing you can do. Just drink the sugar without the fat and you get a blip in your glucose, drink it with a fatty meal and you glucose will be high for a long time....keep doing that and you will eventually overwhelm your pancreas taking you through the stages of type II diabetes. This takes years, it's not an overnight phenomenon. Easy to verify using your own continuous glucose monitor.

Wrong. Naive and grossly oversimplified. Different cell types are affected by insulin differently. Some may be resistant while others are not. It's not an all-or-nothing game.

[@EmilEngholmSrensen]

Why would 'Levels' post such shit. He i a Keto/LowCarb advocate, he only talks about insulin - has anyone ever seen his posts before. Insulin is such a good homone, it helps with a lot of carrier in the body. He has really NO CLUE of what he is talking about. The body switches between glucose and lipids (and aminoacids), for creating ATP - but it does not really matter, what kind of fuel you use. In the end, it comes down to the energy balance. We have tons of meta-analysis confirming this. If you don't eat carbs, you just eat that extra fat, and fat is first of all, not very thermogenic, not very satiating, and store directly as bodyfat, even without insulin. Bodybuilders eat 5-6 meals a day, carbs with every meal, and some of them even inject insulin. And they go down to 5% bodyfat. Ben Bikman is a snake oil seller.
