Moderation is not really the way you should be treating your health · Connor with Honor: AI, Real Estate and Real Life

  SPEAKER_00: Moderation when it comes to trying to burn off some body fat might not be a great way.
• 0:07
  SPEAKER_00: Moderation would indicate that there are certain things that you can have occasionally.
• 0:11
  SPEAKER_00: In moderation, that's going to be okay for you.
• 0:14
  SPEAKER_00: The issue is, is with me, moderation doesn't work very good because there's an addictive component to me when it comes to food and when it comes to alcohol and those other things that it seems like carry a lot of pain with them if in fact a person overindulges continuously.
• 0:33
  SPEAKER_00: So if you're fat and you continue to overindulge in sweet things and carbohydrates, over time you could build up some resistance to your insulin.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_00: And they used to call that insulin resistance, believe it or not, because it made complete sense.
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_00: That sh name has been modified to be more around metabolic resistance, which kind of removes insulin as being a reason, elevated insulin.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: When I'm trying to moderate, the problem is the things I'm moderating are still creating that insulin spike.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_00: And if we're going to be true to ourselves, at least from what I've read and understand, and the way that I torched off 135 pounds, is the trick for me was keeping my insulin low.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_00: When I want my insulin low, moderation is something that doesn't work for me.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_00: Having a little bit of alcohol is going to ruin my dietary approach for a few days, even if it's just a little bit of alcohol.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: Having a sugary treat, depending on what it is, or having some carbohydrate containing bread, wonder bread, or depending on what it is, could carry with it a bit of damage, meaning it's going to take me a while to get out of that frame and back into the fat burning process.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: So moderation in those cases for you that are thinking, well, maybe a little bit of beans and rice this weekend is going to be fine.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe a little bit of cake.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_00: And gosh, you never could when she does.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: So maybe I'm going to eat some of that.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: Again, this probably isn't helping you move the ball forward.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: But if you are going to moderate something, be very weary because moderation sometimes turns into overindulgence, which sometimes turns into this pathway that continues to keep you continuing to and more fat over time.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: My suggestion is when people are telling you to moderate, look at that with a very careful eye, come to a different conclusion.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe moderation, while it's great for some people, and this is a bitter pillow, some people, you might know them, maybe you don't have an alcohol problem.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe I'm talking about you.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_00: You're able to have that one drink once a year, twice a year, and you're fine with it.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: You're able to go out on a weekend and just have one or two drinks, and again, it's just not your thing.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: It's okay.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: Buzz is okay, but it's really not all the all-end all fruit as it might be with somebody that's completely addicted to alcohol.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: So it's easy for you to say no.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: That's great, good for you.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_00: I wish that were the way it is for me.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: It'll never be, because I've tried that way.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: And while, even at those best times in my past, when I thought I had it, when I thought it was gonna be okay, I went ahead and indulged, and it was a problem.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_00: Transfer that into the food world.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe you're not, you have no issue with alcohol, but it's high-laden food.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: Usually I'm not gonna find somebody watching my videos that's addicted to fat and protein.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: Usually I don't have an issue with people being addicted to broccoli or eggs.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_00: The addictive process usually comes into high carbohydrate processed foods.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: Now, addicted to apples, probably not either, yet they're sweet.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_00: Addicted to grapes, haven't seen it.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: I guess it could be the case.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_00: But again, most of it is that processed food addiction.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_00: Because folks, the people that are making a lot of this processed food, they used to be the tobacco industry.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: They bought some of the processed food companies.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_00: So, of course, if we're gonna be honest with ourselves, and this is totally not known by me, but if there were addictive processes put into place with the cigarettes and tobacco, I would imagine there could be other manipulations done to process food above and beyond its process point to make it more palatable and more addictive.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_00: When you are combining fat and sugar in the same item, you're gonna have issues with it, especially if you're addicted to food.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_00: With those types of food doesn't work, because of the resulting impact, testing that food and your body working on it, it's going to start to create that high level of insulin.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_00: And if we go back to what I said previously in the video, insulin dependence, insulin issues, high insulin rating gives you that insulin resistance, which is now called amino disease resistance.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_00: But it's the same thing.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_00: So, from what I've understood, talk to your doctor, medical professionals, those other people that you know and trust in the medical world, but the best way for me was to keep that insulin at a very low level.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_00: I did that with a lot of fasting and eating foods that didn't create that insulin to become active in my system as much as it would if I were to eat a snake or a bunch of cupcakes or whatever it may be.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_00: But that was over time.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: The other big component that I always like to close with is you being able to forgive yourself for messing it up.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_00: Right now, if you've been fat for a long time, maybe you were fat as a kid, fat as a young adult, fat as an older adult, fat middle-aged, or fat later in life, and you want to try to get a handle on that, you're going to have to change your process because at this point it's probably been filled with trying and failing, trying and failing.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: So now go back and look at all those trying and failings as your practice sessions.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_00: Those were all practice.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: Good for you.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_00: You're doing the work, you're out practicing.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_00: You didn't give up totally.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe you gave up for two, three, six, eight, ten, twelve, fourteen, sixteen, eighteen months.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_00: You didn't give up because now you're back to this.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_00: So you're gonna have to change your approach.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_00: The last time you did it, it didn't work.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_00: The first time I tried to quit smoking cigarettes, it didn't work.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_00: It probably didn't work for the 800th time.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: But the 801st time or whatever the number was, I never looked back.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_00: Same thing with food addictions, ending up in the drive-thru at a fast food restaurant, about to enjoy a lot of processed food, which is going and was my detriment and my pain point.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_00: Once I realized that I could do without it, and then if I'm in the drive a couple times, I ended up there during my the same process, where I actually paid for everything, got the food and found a nearby trash cran and threw it away.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_00: That only took a couple times.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_00: After that, it seemed like I'm winning.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_00: I got the dopamine spike from not giving in and sticking with something I promised myself, and then that just continues.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_00: So you yourself continue that process.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you for watching.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_00: We'll be back on the next one.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_00: I'm Connor with Honor, over and out.
