    The SIMPLE Way To Make Your Body KILL BELLY FAT! | Dr Jason Fung

    17:21The SIMPLE Way To Make Your Body KILL BELLY FAT! | Dr Jason Fung
    • Well, I think it was part of the processing thing. So taking out fiber is a great way to make foods more appealing, if you will. So what happens is that if you take flour, for example, and you have a lot of fiber in it, then the digestion is slowed. So what you get is a slower rise. So you take flour and you put a lot of fiber in it. Well, instead of having this huge spike in insulin, which you're going to get, it's a much slower spike in insulin. When you have a huge spike in insulin, it basically overloads your system. And it makes you feel, you know, gives you this big hit. Sort of like if you have like cocaine, for example. You know, it's turned into a very fine powder. Then you snort it. So you get this massive sort of spike. Same thing with, you know, carbohydrates. If you don't have any fiber, you pull all the fiber out by processing. You get this massive sort of unnatural spike in your body. It says, oh, that's great. It tastes great. I really love it. And you get people who are sort of addicted to it because that big spike is then going to release dopamine. And dopamine is the pleasure hormone. So you eat, you know, cookies or whatever highly processed foods, you get this sort of pleasurable response.

    • There's carbohydrates, there's fat, and there's protein. Your body stores energy or calories in two ways. There's glucose, which is carbohydrate, and it stores it as body fat, which is fat, right? It doesn't, protein is not a way for the body to store energy. So when you're eating a lot of protein, it's very difficult for it to turn it into a storage mechanism. Like, you know, so you eat glucose and you eat fat, you can store glucose and you can store fat. You eat protein, but you don't really store it as a source of energy. So if all foods then increase our insulin levels, I guess the best solution is to fast. Fasting is certainly one way, but just changing the foods to, uh, otherwise, because if you look at the insulin, uh, release in processed foods versus unprocessed foods, there's a huge difference. So if you eat sort of, uh, highly refined foods like white bread, for example, then you're going to have a very different response in insulin compared to sort of, um, uh, a whole, a whole food. So, uh, unprocessed foods in general, your body knows how to handle, like we've been eating them for thousands of years. Um, but certainly anytime you eat, your insulin is going to go up. You're giving your body instructions to store energy. So the solution is to eat less often. What if you do a juice fast? Juice fast, of course, is not a real fast because you're taking a lot of sugars. What do you think of juice fasting? Um, I'm generally, I, I, I think it's less effective than regular fasting and it really depends on how much juice you take. If you take a lot of juice, you could easily get, you know, thousands of calories plus a lot of sugar. If you do it, you know, cucumber juice and stuff that's very low in sugar and kale juice, then it could be very, very healthy for you because there's vitamins and stuff there. So it all depends on how it's done. We have a closing tradition on this podcast where the last last guest leaves a question for the next guest without knowing who they're leaving it for. And the question that's been left for you is what is your greatest gift to the world? I think if, if, if, you know, I suppose it's sounds very arrogant. Um, but I really hope that my, my work helps people sort of sort of reverse the type two diabetes. Cause that is really sort of one of the most close things that I deal with because I deal with it professionally sort of every day.
