009: This Is As Simple As It Gets

Author: Dr. Steve Hughlett January 16, 2023 Duration: 26:23

In this episode, Dr. Steve explains the simplest way to lose weight and become healthy. He also shares some tips on what foods to avoid and how to avoid them in order to reverse, and hopefully eliminate your type 2 diabetes and obesity. If you are suffering from these illnesses and want to change your eating lifestyle, then this episode is for you!

 

[00:01 - 06:08] The Only Thing That You Should Put In Your Mouth  

  • The only carbohydrates that you should be eating are fruits and vegetables.
  • Dietary Guidelines were written back in 1977 that if you eat fat, it will make you fat.
  • It is not fat that makes you fat; It's carbohydrates.

[06:09 - 11:47] Keep Insulin Levels Low

  • Decreasing calories and exercising more is horrible advice without further information.
  • The ONLY substance that is directly related to obesity is insulin.
  • The real key to losing weight is to keep your insulin levels low. 
  • Quitting sugar will keep both your glucose and insulin levels low.

[11:48 - 21:25] Take Your Health Into Your Own Control

  • Food companies constantly push carbohydrates and processed foods.
  • Depending on your weight, your body only wants around 1-2 teaspoons of sugar in your bloodstream at any one time.
  • Fat and carbohydrates are the only calories you need to worry about, since your body does not want to use protein as an energy source.

[21:26 - 27:13] Closing Segment

  • Start using fat for your energy source, and NOT carbohydrartes, like we used to before the dietary guidelines came out in 1977.

The more fat the company takes out of something, the more sugar it puts in.
