Carb Sensitivity Shift
00:02:10

|
| There's something that happens to most people around the world between the ages of 45 and 50. | |
| And this is what happens. | |
| Hormones start to decrease. | |
| And then we become more carbohydrate sensitive the more we get an insulin response and the more we gain weight. | |
| It happens around 45 to 50 on almost everyone I see. | |
| You cannot eat the same amount of carbs, sugars, and starches as when you were 20. | |
| When you were 20, you could eat a pizza, a whole huge pizza, you wouldn't gain one pound. | |
| But now you eat one slice and you gain two pounds, three pounds. | |
| You eat one baked potato. | |
| You gain five pounds. | |
| Right. | |
| That's because we become more carbohydrate sensitive as we age. | |
| That's why so many people are developing pre-diabetes and diabetes. | |
| That's why we are seeing this epidemic of obesity. | |
| That's why we're seeing this epidemic of disease. | |
| Because listen, the food recommendations of this country, the dietary guidelines for the last 50 years has been we should consume 45 to 65 percent of our calories as carbohydrates. | |
| That's 200 to 300 grams of carbs a day. | |
| If you do that, you are guaranteed, especially if you're over 50, to have obesity, eventually either prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. | |
| You've just signed up for inflammation in your brain, dementia, pre-dementia, senile dementia, as well as Parkinson's, as well as cancer, as well as heart disease, as well as most every degenerative disease, including autoimmune disease. | |
| That's because we all become carbohydrate sensitive. | |
| You've seen those little tiny twiggies that are teenage girls, and then they stay skinny in their 20s. | |
| They stay skinny in their 30s. | |
| That's right. | |
| And then all of a sudden, 45, 50 hits, and all of a sudden, you look at them and they're 250 pounds on the hoof. | |
| Their husbands better love them because of that. | |
| That's right. | |
| Because all of that comfort food, potato chips, corn chips, Cheetos. | |
| I had a lady yesterday, Cheetos, Cheetos. | |
| Love Cheetos. | |
| And now she's paying the price with arthritis and obesity. | |
| She had 20 separate diseases. | |
| She's only like 55 years of age. | |
