  • So you understand that you need to lower insulin levels to lose weight. Last week I talked about how hormones can contribute to weight gain, specifically insulin. Now, in this video, I'll share five natural ways how to lower insulin levels for weight loss.

      Low carb, fasting and sleeping well are the 3 I’ve nailed! I need more exercise and have a plan to commence so that just leaves stress. I wouldn’t say I stress much more managing anxiety is my key target. Do I recall stress being linked to cortisol and then rise in insulin? Off to tai chi tomorrow so that’ll kick start those remaining two!

      1. Low carb diet: not suitable with people whose their brains work hard. Brain need carb. Low carb diet kills brain productivity.
      2. Intermittent fasting: the same as above.
      3. Exercise - HIIT and weight lifting: OK
      4. Less stress: Difficult to do with low carb diet. Carb helps your body produce melatonin, which make you less stressed.
      5. Sleep more: Difficult to do with low carb diet. Carb helps your body produce melatonin, which make you easy to fall asleep.
      >> Believe me, low carb diet is a stupid way to lose weight. It's just suitable for who does not use much of their brains, like actor, actress, gymers, supermodel, athlete...If you are a banker, writer, data scientist..., forget low carb diet - it can ruin your life.

I have been on this diet for three months and right away lost nine pounds. This diet and working out at the gym very hard have made me feel much better. Before going on this diet I didn't need to lose weight but I did right away. I am 68 years old and diabetes runs in my family!! Oh well thanks for the video DR. and stay healthy!!

    • @shedhabashir8838
      @shedhabashir8838 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      And please don't be discouraged, remind yourself that you're doing this to stay fit and to celebrate what your body can do. You're already doing great. Keep your motivations up by shifting your goals to stay active or stay fit rather than to lose or shed weight. Shifting my goals to staying active/ fit has worked so efficiently for me, it has completely changed my perspective about exercise.
      "Exercise should be a celebration of what your body can do and not a punishment of what you ate." This statement helped me change my perspective. I hope it helps you both too.

      Furthermore, Muslims have additional fasts on Monday and Thursdays each week throughout the year, and also the middle 3 days of each month, based on Prophetic tradition. Also, the manner in which Muslims eat, by always sitting, splitting the meal into 1/3 water, 1/3 air and 1/3 food promotes mindful and intuitive consumption. Also, small meals, snacks etc are more traditional with saturated animal fats being consumed very sporadically. Wonderful signs for those who truly reflect.

    Hi Dr. Maggs,
    As an insulin depandant diabetic, I have been gently nudged into these principles.
    I have been prescribed a taster regime of weekly gym sessions by my GP. Now I am getting a liking for regular excercise and have added daily walking. My weight has dropped by 5kg(12lbs)from 90kg to 85kg in 6 months. I am now encouraging my whole family to join the local gym on a family membership !
    WFH has reduced the stress levels associated with a long commute to work.
    This has freed up time for a more regular pattern of sleep.
    I have also significantly increased my fibre and veg consumption and reduced carbohydrates.
    I can attest to all your principles.
    Thank you for outlining them so clearly.
    They can all be achieved slowly without any pain or difficulty.
    Good luck to anyone embarking on this expeditionary journey of health discovery. You will reach your personal summit and be able to look back on a job well done. Ultimately you will congratulate yourself.
    Thanks for a great video.
    Best of luck to everyone.

    I'm 66 years old and overweight. I started a 20/4 Fasting/eating cycle. Prior to this I was tired all the time and had to nap a lot, but never felt well rested. After a few day on this 20/4 cycle, it was like a switch was thrown. Now I don't feel worn out all the time and I have energy again. For months the bottoms of my feet were tender and walking was very painful. Even after a few days, the pain is reduced and I can walk around without any real pain. I'm still only 5 days into this, but I wish I had known what I know now years ago.

    Hi Dr. Maggs...I recently found your channel and am happy that I did. I'm new to counting carbs as I've been doing it for 3 weeks. I've lost 10 lbs and am very satisfied with my progress. Once I passed the initial carb withdrawal I was so surprised that my cravings disappeared and I stayed sated much longer, in fact seldom feel hungry. I began intermittent fasting every four days. I'm unsure how often I should or could fast, but I'm happy with the results thus far. So, I'm thanking you for your guidance. I'm sold on low carb for life!

    Hi Dan. Just wanted to say a huge thankyou to you for your amazing content. I started down the rabbit hole of intermittent fasting and low carb around 9 months ago and to date lost 3 stone. I am excited to see GPs like yourself and David unwin flying the UK flag. Until I came across you both I felt like I was unable to give my type 2 diabetic patients dietary advice as I would be going against the advice they were getting from their GPs. So, thankyou for giving me a place to point people towards who want to take control of their own health. I can relate so much to your story in myself and it is an exciting journey to be a part of helping people realise that they can change their lives. Thanks again. Rob

    Great delivery on this subject! Weight training offers a double whammy to improve insulin sensitivity. Muscles make up the largest glycogen stores in the body and a good training session depletes those like you said creating short term sensitivity benefits. However, training increases those glycogen stores as your muscle mass grows, creating bigger stores for the dietary sugar on subsequent meals and days.

    I always thought it was silly to think I had to eat breakfast. I never ate breakfast growing up and I was never hungry and I was never overweight until I turned 45 and became vegetarian and started eating lot of carbs for first time in my life. I got up to 150 lbs and had high blood pressure. Hypothyroidism and belly fat. That was 50 pounds more than I ever weighed in my life. Now on a low carb diet at 66 I finally got down to 130 but I’m still 30 pounds more than I should be. My family makes it hard to keep low carb. My Husband loves to eat and so does the other 6 family members who live with me temporarily. This Doctor knows what he is talking about. He motivates me to keep up the diet even when I have all these food temptations around me all day.

    I followed the advice from Dr. Maggs about low carbohydrate diet, intermittent fasting, exercise, stress reduction & more sleep. I easily went from 210 to 154 pounds. It works. The best stress reduction for me is 3x daily prayer in the form of wearing Tefillin & reciting the Shema prayer. I eat avocados, asparagus, artichoke and many low carbohydrate vegetables daily as well. I have meals only at 6 & 11 am. I consume 6 ounces a day of psyllium husk fiber to maintain regularity as well.

    What you said about decreased hunger is so true. My desire for food once I started training and eating low carbs went down BUT I kept telling myself "surely I should be eating more?" And as a result I would eat more giving my body more then it needed and stalled my weight loss. Watching this made me realise that. Thank you!

    Hi Dr Dan, your videos are fantastic, I love breakfast and after starting my breakfast, at times have struggled to stop eating. Recently (early Dec 2021) I have got over that by doing time restricted eating. Initially I just ate at work and also did did one 40 hour fast over a weekend. Then on annual leave (over Christmas period) I started eating for just 4 hours a day (10am to 2pm). Today I just finished a 5 day fast. I am very conscious with regard carbs in everything I eat now (thanks in part to your videos). One thing that really helped me get through my fasting periods recently was EFT tapping. This is because trying to restrict our eating does have a psychological element particularly when the hunger pains get overwhelming. Just wondering if you could introduce EFT tapping to your viewers as it may help some of them as well?
