• The #1 Most Dangerous Fat in the World!

  Harmful fats can be incredibly damaging to your health! Find out about the most dangerous fat to remove from your diet immediately and which healthy fats to replace it with. Ditch the unhealthy fats today! 0:00 Introduction: The worst fats for health0:19 Unhealthy fats explained0:53 Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats2:02 What are hydrogenated fats?3:11 Saturated fat3:50 Side effects of unhealthy fats 8:57 The most dangerous fat11:48 The benefits of healthy fatWhat are the unhealthiest types of fats? Let’s take a look. Saturated fats are very stable and don’t react much to oxygen because they don’t have double bonds.Fats with double bonds are more unstable and react more readily with oxygen, resulting in increased oxidation. Monounsaturated fats have one double bond, while polyunsaturated fats have many double bonds. More double bonds mean more oxidation. Avocado and olive oil are monounsaturated fats, so they’re moderately stable. Polyunsaturated fats, such as corn oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, soy oil, canola oil, and cottonseed oil, contain many double bonds, so they’re unstable and prone to significant oxidation. Hydrogenated oils are unsaturated fats that have been chemically turned into saturated fats. Saturated fats such as lard, tallow, and butter are solid at room temperature and are very stable. Although they are unsaturated fats, fish oil and cod liver oil have potent anti-inflammatory benefits and omega-3s, but can sometimes be rancid due to their instability. Be careful where you source them!Heat and light create toxic byproducts in unsaturated fats called aldehydes. These toxic compounds destroy your DNA, lodge in your cell membranes, and damage the insulin receptors on the surface of your cells. They can also make your cells stiff and fragile. For years, saturated fats have been demonized, and unsaturated fats have been recommended! This has also occurred with other foods, such as red meat and grains. Check out this comprehensive list, which ranges from the most harmful fats to the healthiest. Number 1 is the most dangerous! 1. Partially hydrogenated fat2. Hydrogenated fat3.

• Why People Can't Lose Weight on Keto

  If you’re not losing weight on keto, or you’re stuck on a keto plateau, this is for you. Make sure you’re not making these common keto diet mistakes... they could be the reason why keto isn’t working! 0:00 Introduction: The keto diet is not working for me!0:41 Why I’m not losing weight on keto 5:35 Gallbladder, liver health, and the keto diet 10:03 Vitamin D and keto weight loss problems13:50 Keto diet facts and fictionIn this video, we’ll take a look at why some people struggle with weight loss on the keto diet or experience a keto weight loss plateau.To do the keto diet correctly, you must reduce your carb intake to 50 grams or less per day, especially if you’re working towards a goal such as weight loss, reducing chronic illness, increasing energy, or improving your health. Avoid these 13 common keto diet mistakes!1. Don’t do dirty keto, a low-carb diet that doesn’t eliminate unhealthy ingredients. 2. Poor sleep increases blood sugar values to those of a prediabetic. It also increases cortisol levels, inhibits the release of growth hormone, and reduces fat burning.3. Stress raises cortisol levels, which blocks the benefits of keto. 4. Overtraining can stifle weight loss!5. Gallbladder and liver health are vital for fat breakdown and absorption, and critical for proper thyroid function. You won’t lose weight on keto until you address these issues first.6. Your thyroid is responsible for metabolism and energy. Focus on iodine, selenium, and zinc intake for a healthy thyroid. 7. Weight loss on keto starts with a healthy gut. Try L. reuteri yogurt to restore gut health and lose weight.8. Not getting enough sun is one of the most common keto weight loss problems. Vitamin D protects you from insulin resistance, and sunlight increases melatonin and serotonin. 9. The more atrophy you have, the less keto will work for weight loss. 10. Make sure you have realistic expectations and an accurate definition of normal. After the initial water weight loss when first starting keto, weight loss will vary from person to person. 11. Pair the keto diet with intermittent fasting. Eliminate snacking and only eat when you’re hungry. 12. Avoid cheat day! 13. Lower your dietary fat intake if you’re struggling to lose weight on keto. You may have heard rumors that the keto diet is dangerous, but this simply isn’t true and is often based on poor research. Some foods labeled as “zero sugar” still contain carbs. Check labels and make sure your keto weight loss plateau isn’t caused by hidden sugar consumption!

• The #1 Worst Protein in the World!

  This toxic protein is one of the worst foods for your body. Find out about the worst protein in the world that’s often marketed as healthy, despite being one of the most dangerous protein sources. This is the protein you should never eat!0:00 Introduction: Protein you should never eat0:49 The worst protein for your health3:37 Ultra-processed proteins 8:17 The worst protein in the world 8:55 Toxic proteins to avoidThe EAT-Lancet planetary health diet aims for a plant-based world where red meat is replaced with plant-based protein. Surprisingly, the one protein you should never eat is plant-based!So what’s the worst protein in the world? Here are 11 facts about one of the most dangerous protein sources:1. The industrial extraction of defatted soy flour involves fat removal from soy flour using hexane, a component of gasoline. This ingredient is considered GRAS, or generally recognized as safe. This is a legal loophole that allows a company to classify its own product as safe.2. This ultra-processed protein is a byproduct of the soybean oil industry.3. It contains heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, and lead. 4. It’s thermo-mechanically restructured, which means high temperatures and machinery are used to restructure the product so that it mimics the texture of meat. 5. This product makes around $1.39 billion per year.6. It’s marketed as healthy and has been around since the 1960s.7. It contains sodium hydroxide, which changes the pH, chemically altering the protein.8. It contains hydrogen peroxide and titanium dioxide used as bleaching agents.9. It’s composed of sponge-like chunks of artificial meat that’s rehydrated with additional seed oil. 10. Artificial flavor and color are added to mimic the taste and appearance of meat.11. The protein is dried at around 347 degrees Fahrenheit, so by the time you cook it, it’s been heated twice.The estrogenic effect of soy is not destroyed by heat!The protein I'm referring to is textured vegetable protein, made from the “vegetable” known as soy. This highly refined, ultra-processed protein contains heavy metals and is GMO, so it may contain traces of glyphosate.
