I have to disagree with some points in this vid. having starchy carbs Pre workout is perfectly ok.You need the carbs before the workout in mant cases to do the workout! Common sense! Just make sure they are complex carbs, not simple and you start your workout at least 45 min after the meal.The exercise will uptake the glucose from the blood very quickly into the muscle cells. Exercise increases insulin sensitivity due to the receptors being more sensitive as a result of muscle activation.
@RosalynGee If you really want to get slimmer faster, then I suggest you go to his diet program at the site WeightLossAction.Info.. I did try it myself and was doing great in my body.. I lost a bunch of weight in a short weeks.. I heard that they have the best diet site and obviously it does.. ^_^
Not entirely true, you do NOT need carbohydrate. That's a myth and has been disproved many, many times. Carbohydrates are the only macronutrient we do NOT need.
Glucose can easily be made from non-carbohydrate sources when required through the process of gluconeogenesis.
That being said, I don't believe we should eat zero-carbohydrate, but that we should get our carbs from non-starchy vegetables (lots) and from moderate servings of fruit, especially lower-glycemic fruits like berries.
Thanks for not taking the 'carbs make you fat' approach! Great video and nice job on the channel overall. I'm going to post a video response that deals with carb intake as well if you don't mind.
The problem for me is I'm 6'6 240lbs. My BMR is about 3000. Creating a deficit of 500 calories, that's 2500 calories. If I ate everything you just listed, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't add up to 2500 calories. Should I just double the portion size?
If you're going to avoid sugar avoid it due to the calories. not due to insulin release. You should not be concerned with insulin, worry more about your energy balance. (calories in vs. calories out)
FYI Leucine (an essential amino acid) releases insulin FAR more than glucose. are ya gonna start avoiding protein now? lol
@migueldavies well, since excess insulin triggers cravings and promotes fat-storage, it's best to remain at lower levels. It's hard for most folks to maintain the 'energy balance' you speak of when a person is craving donuts, you know?
Once again, read: Leucine stimulates insulin release far more than carbohydrate. "craving donuts" has very little to do with insulin and more to do with food preference and blood glucose levels.
@migueldavies Maybe YOU should do the reading, Miguel.
The truth of the matter is leucine can stimulate insulin, but for an EXTREMELY short duration and have no lasting effect on insulin levels, Whereas carbohydrate stimulates/spikes insulin for a very long time, depending on the digestibility of said carb.
to clarify a point. sweets stimulate taste buds, this signal is sent to the brain, the brain then produces a chemical messenger that stimulates the islets of langerhans (insulin producing cells on the pancreas) to make insulin. Not that the brain itself produces insulin. Tissues communicate indirectly with each other by making chemical messengers which stimulate parts of the brain to produce the right neurotransmitter thats stimulates the appropriate tissue to make the right hormone.
Once your taste buds detect something sweet, they send a message to your brain to produce insulin. The presence of insulin in the blood stream sends a message to fat cells to end ketosis and your body stops or slows down the process of metabolizing stored fat in favor of the food your eating. The more sugar, the more insulin, the less stored fat metabolized through ketosis. If all your food contains HFC syrup (your body breaks down fructose into 2 glucose molecules), thats a lot of sugar.
If you keep active, you'll keep these fast acting insulin receptors active as well. But they start to be dismantled quickly and after I think 3-4 days of normal activity they'll all be gone. Another interesting this about how your body and muscles work, with activity, your body produces more vasculature (arterioles, venuoles and capillaries) to feed your muscle cells and remove waste more quickly.
Your cell walls have slow acting insulin receptors that constantly (at a really slow pace) transport insulin through the membrane into the cell. As you exercise and your body reads a deficit in glucose needed to produce ATP, i think it's the mitochondria that produce temporary fast acting insulin receptors. These temp workers work 4 times as fast and are supply on demand. As part of our fight or flight response, these temp receptors remain active even after the stress or workout is finished.
There is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate. Read up on the science before you try to make recommendations about people's health. You do not need carbs.
Grains made me fat and lethargic. So I stopped eating them and started eating loads of saturated fat instead. Now have a nice little waist and tummy is miles flatter wheres before had no shape to speak of, just a fat stomach :(. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Answer: YES! Fast releasing carbohydrates will push up the amount of insulin released! High levels of insulin are toxic! Toxic levels of insulin need to be removed and the body turn them into Triglyceride and ships them off into adipose tissue (body fat), causing low blood sugar, kicking off sweet cravings. Repeat this over again and eventually you will become overweight after years.
GI diet not a fad. Its a guide to stop this happening... high GI for only after exercise.
A good enough diet and yet one more diet fad comming out of the good old USA.
But there is little difference between this diet and The TNT Diet or The GI Diet. There is how ever one very important big difference The DSP costs £37and is downloaded to you from the internet as PDF files. The paper back books for the TNT and GI Diets cost £5 or less from Amazon. You can achive the same dietary effects for a lot less and you'll still have Isabels sound advice on You Tube.
Well not exactly right. I have one word that blows this up.
Gluconeogenesis
Gluconeogenesis is a metabolic pathway that results in the generation of glucose from non-carbohydrate carbon substrates such as lactate, glycerol, and glucogenic amino acids.
@kcfreeloader I'm glad someone brought this up. After a while on a low carb or ketogenic diet, the body adapts and will use ketones for most of the brains needs (healthier than the burning of glucose which form AGEs & leads to plaques in the brain): the glucose requirment is greatly lowered (I think to about 40 grams). That is easily obtained from non sugary/starchy carbs & protein. If we required carbs to function our ancestors before agriculture would surely have had a very difficult time!
omg thank u sooooo much. i have been sooo confused about how many carbs mi should be gettinn. i was sitting here thinking i wasnt supposed to have any carbs. lol
I don't like any video recommending *any* type of grains. All rice is bad, even brown rice. Wild rice is better than brown but still extremely bad. I also wouldn't recommend any tubars like yams. Otherwise you're catching on. Conventional Wisdom is *slowly* getting more accurate. Voted this video down.
A calorie is a unit of energy. We have recently found that the statement "A calorie is a calorie" is not true when discussing wgt gain and loss. Hyperinsulinemia plays a major role is weight and health.
It is a myth that you need carbohydrates to function properly. How come the Eskimos function perfectly fine without carbs?
Low carb dieters report better blood work at the doctor's office and report they have more energy than ever before because a high fat, high protein diet provides more energy.
Carbs spike insulin, insulin stores fat.
Sources:
Gary Taubes "Good Calories, Bad Calories"
Gary Taubes "What if it's all been a big fat lie"
Robert Patterson "It's the carbs that make you fat"
Wow, then with all the white rice that Asians eat they must really have an obesity problem in China, Japan, Thailand, etc, etc. Could the problem actually be too many calories and too little activity? This isn't rocket science.
"A recent study into obesity rates in China has found that approximately 137 million Chinese people are overweight and 18 million of those are obese. Furthermore 64 million Chinese have such poor diet and exercise habits that they are at risk for cardiovascular disease."
@rk9295 : Only because the western diet and fast food chains have infiltrated China. They don't get fat on their traditional diet. Let's be honest here. Even Okinawa is at risk. Younger Okinawans are straying from their traditional diet. Big mistake!
All sugars are carbohydrate and all carbohydrates are sugar. They're two different words for the same thing.
To your body, there is NO difference between simple and complex carbohydrates - it all ends up as glycogen in your bloodstream.
Now, how long does it take to turn into sugar will be different between simple and complex, but it will ALL turn into sugar, and it will ALL SPIKE INSULIN.
Blah blah blah, yeah eating a piece of fruit is the same as swallowing a tablespoon full of pure sugar. NOT TRUE. Fruit has vitamins and minerals that assimilate the fructose so it doesn't rob nutrients from your body. And if you eat foods with carbs at the same time as foods with fats, the fats will slow down the glycemic index so you won't have a spike in insulin.
@jhillst : Plus, with fruit you're also getting fibre. Isabel is correct about sweet potatoes! The Okinawan diet is built on them (70% total calories).
@rk9295 You have no clue. The GI index was design as a way of seeing how quickly a food would inpact on blood sugar levels. This is significant because it has a way of impacting on Insulin levels. High insulins levels are toxic! The body gets rid of them by turning it into stored fat and placing it in adipose cells. GLUCOSE MUST BE HANDLED BY INSULIN. Glucose in the blood stream is stored in cell and liver as Glycogen. Slow releasing Carbs are easier to handle. Finished
Plus, even in the face of different GIs, most people don't JUST eat carbs for a meal. They usually have protein and fats to go with it. This slows the digestion process of the carbs (lower GI). In the end, GI still matters, but probably not as much as you think.
And for those who care about looks more than health: no, carbs themselves do not make you fat. The extra calories do. You can eat all the carbs you want and be thin. Contrarily, If you were eating extra protein, you'd be fat.
@rk9295 Yeah so it doesn't matter if I have a soda or oats?? You're an idiot, its not the same thing. You 're basically saying there is no difference between a polysaccharide or monosaccharide. Probably THINK you're a lifter and know about diet but you obviously know shit...A polysaccharide like oatmeal will take much longer to breakdown and enter your blood stream then a soda..Which means less insulin spike.
@rk9295 You have NO IDEA what you are talking about and if you don't believe me you can try something out. Go to the gym, workout and then take an injection of a fast acting insulin like humalog and eat a bowl of oats instead of having a gatorade or some form of simple sugar and see what happens...You'll be dead..
