Ideally, eat whole fruits or opt for a more nutritious smoothie and blend or juice greens and vegetables instead.

Dr Rob Lustig has a mantra, protect the liver and feed the gut. Protect the liver from excess alcohol and sugar and feed the gut with fiber. Protect the liver from excess alcohol and sugar (simple carbohydrates) as they are both damaging to the liver and kidneys and can lead to alcohol or non-alcohol fatty liver, weight gain, and inflammation that can lead to scarring of the liver that can eventually add to conditions such as cirrhosis. Feed the gut with fiber. Gut bacteria thrive on fiber. Fiber also helps slow the digestion of carbohydrates which aids in blood sugar control which we all should be extremely mindful of. Eating a diet rich in fiber can also improve your digestive health, reduce the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes, and even aid in weight loss. Your immune system has a symbiotic relationship with your gut. Strengthen your immune system by consuming 25-30 grams of fiber daily. Be mindful of your alcohol and sugar consumption.

We are facing a growing crisis in our food and healthcare systems. The food we eat is rigged to prioritize profits over our health, resulting in the epidemic of lifestyle diseases. While many people are suffering from these diseases, it seems that big pharma and the medical industry are profiting from this crisis.

If you want to lose weight and also burn fat, here's the formula; be in a calorie deficit, eat ample protein, and do some strength training. Consuming ample protein helps feed muscles that can help you lose weight. Protein also increases satiety and decreases hunger and there are many benefits to strength training, but for weight loss, the most important one is that it helps build muscle. Muscle is more metabolically active than fat, meaning it burns more calories at rest. The more muscle you have, the higher your resting metabolic rate will be. Recap, if you're looking to lose weight, be in a calorie deficit, make sure to get at least the amount of protein based on your weight, and incorporate some strength training. With consistency and dedication, you will achieve your weight loss goals. Try it and enjoy the journey. Thanks for watching.

There are many health benefits to intermittent fasting which include but are not limited to, weight loss, improved blood sugar control, and decreased inflammation. Intermittent fasting allows more time for the body to eliminate metabolic and pathogenic waste. For example, if your current fasting period is from 7 pm to 8 am that's 11 hours of fasting. For the coming weeks increase your fasting period by only one hour each week until you reach a fasting period of 14 -15 or 16 hours. It's not recommended to jump from say, 11 hours straight to 14-15 or 16 hours as your body needs time to adjust and acclimate.

Insulin resistance is not only the fundamental cause of weight gain, it is also the reason you can't lose weight because insulin is the fat-storage hormone. Excess sugar causes the pancreas to secrete insulin into the bloodstream. Sugar and refined flour are two of the main ingredients in fast foods, processed foods, and drinks. 1 in 3 people have pre-diabetes and are not even aware of it. You'll be surprised even shocked at how much sugar you may consume daily. Schedule a hemoglobin AIC blood test with your GP it will show the amount of sugar stuck to red blood cells over the prior 3-month period.
