4 Things That Weaken Your Immune System - Ben Azadi :KKP 122

In this episode, Ben Azadi, author of Ketoflex and host of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, outlines a seven-step diet plan to reduce visceral fat in 14 days. The first step is to lower insulin levels by swapping carbohydrates for protein and fat. Ben emphasizes that carbohydrates cause the highest blood insulin response compared to protein and fat. He suggests replacing common high-carbohydrate foods, such as oatmeal, cereal, bread, fruit, and potatoes, with cauliflower rice, eggs, red meat, and vegetables. The second step is to stop snacking between meals to avoid disrupting metabolism and preventing the body from burning visceral fat. The third step is to incorporate sprints into a workout routine three times a week, as high-intensity interval training activates hormones that promote fat burning. The fourth step is to eliminate or limit alcohol consumption, as alcohol prioritizes detoxification over fat burning and increases appetite. The fifth step is to walk at least 7,000 steps a day, particularly after meals, to blunt blood sugar spikes and reduce insulin production. The sixth step is to practice intermittent fasting on an 18/6 schedule to lower insulin levels, increase human growth hormone, and promote cellular cleaning through autophagy. The final step is to get 90 minutes of deep sleep each night to activate fat-burning hormones and accelerate fat loss. Ben also recommends measuring visceral fat through a DEXA scan or, more accurately, an MRI. 📍 Resourced Mentioned: 📍 Online Food Calculate Download for FREE. http://www.cronometer.com/ketokamp 📍 Fat Burning Recipes Delivered to Your Inbox: http://www.ketokamprecipes.com 📍Magnesium: bioptimizers.com/ketokamp use the coupon code KETOKAMP10  📍Somnifix mouth-tape: https://somnifix.com/?ref=3778298&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=goaffpro 📍 Sleep trackers..  📍Oura Ring: https://ouraring.com/discount/6e9615cebf?utm_medium=iac_raf 📍FitBit: https://amzn.to/3Z0tXn1  📍 Apple Watch: https://amzn.to/4fVPZyf 📍Whoop Band: https://amzn.to/3ZgGVyv

Not all supplements are created equal—in fact, many of the ones on the market result in expensive urine. The key is to use high-quality supplements derived from whole foods versus synthetic supplements made in a lab. When you take synthetic vitamins, the human body recognizes this substance as a drug. When you take real food supplements, the human body recognizes this as nutrition. What results is something called “selective absorption,” where the body fills in any nutritional gaps and excretes the rest. Real food supplements are derived from concentrated, dehydrated forms of fruits, vegetables, and other natural sources, providing a complex blend of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients as they occur in nature. You can easily spend your extra cash on supplements but the best question we can ask is…. What supplements actually work? I’m going to break this all down for you, plus I will reveal the worst supplements to never spend your money on. I’ve narrowed down my favorite supplements to these 7 supplements that actually work.

After I personally went from being obese at 250 pounds with 34 percent body fat to 170 pounds and 6 percent body fat, I cracked the fat loss code. The code that unlocks fat loss is lowering insulin.  The cool thing about having the combination to a code is that it unlocks no matter what!! I tested this out with over 5,000 of my students with great success. You have hundreds of hormones inside your body. Hormones are chemical messengers. Some hormones activate fat burning, some hormones help with energy, some hormones help with longevity, but ONLY ONE HORMONE causes fat storage (and shuts off fat burning). This hormone is called insulin. Insulin is an energy sensor (amongst other things), and when you activate the insulin troops, your fat burning hormones are GONE. Insulin is the bully of the block. You might be wondering, “How do you lower insulin?”  Great question! Intermittent fasting! 📍Resources Mentioned: 📍Free App For Tracking Macronutrients: http://www.cronometer.com/ketokamp  📍 Oura ring for tracking sleep, steps and more: http://ouraring.com/raf/6e9615cebf?utm_medium=iac_raf  📍Melatonin supplement: https://amzn.to/4flRaag  📍 Magnesium supplement.
