1 Tablespoon a Day Burns Belly Fat

What if I were to tell you you could take 1 tablespoon of something and help yourself lose more belly fat ?

Would you be interested ?

If so , there's a really great natural solution .

And this goes beyond the typical eat less , exercise more , etcetera .

This talk is mainly for the person that has a slow metabolism , and they need an unfair advantage .

But I need to really clarify something because people that say they have a slow metabolism actually don't have a slow metabolism .

It's not that the metabolism is slow .

It's just very efficient .

Okay .

If we take a Hummer on the side versus a hybrid Camry , What would be the main difference ?

Well , one is a gas guzzler and one is more efficient with its fuel .

Right ?

The Hummer gets about 16 miles per gallon and the hybrid Camry gets around 51 miles per gallon .

Huge difference .

So with people that have a difficult time losing weight , their real problem is deep in the motor .

The motor is just too efficient .

They can go a longer period of time with less fuel compared to someone with a so called high metabolism .

So the question is how can we switch your motor over to a system that is more of a gas guzzler and you're in a situation where you're wasting more fuel .

That would be a good goal .

Wouldn't it ?

This is probably gonna be a new term for you , but it's called mitochondrial uncoupling .

Well , the mitochondria is the energy factory that turns food into ATP , which is kind of like a storage form of energy .

And I think the best way to describe uncoupling related to the mitochondria to make it really simple is that the mitochondria is gonna make less ATP and more heat .

So what's happening instead of making this storage form of energy , it's basically just creating a lot of heat , and that heat can be wasted .

So today's talk is about discovering what you can use as a mitochondrial uncoupler .

Now there's a certain weight loss drug , which I don't even think it's still in the market in the US at least .

It's called 24 Dinotrophinol , but we're just gonna call it DNP .

Okay ?

This is a drug .

And if I'm not mistaken , it was taken off the market because , yes , it helped people lose weight very fast , but it created some pretty serious side effects .

It overheated the body .

People were sweating extensively .

Now aspirin , by the way , is another mitochondrial on coupler , which I'm not gonna recommend that even though it may help you lose a little weight because it's a drug and it causes side effects like , you know , a bleeding ulcer .

But other than that , it's perfectly fine .

Now there's another drug called niclosamide , which is a dewormer , and it's also been tested to help lose weight in mice studies .

I don't think they repurposed it for a weight loss medication , but it too , does what's called mitochondrial uncoupling .

Now the question is , is there a natural mitochondrial uncoupler ?

And yes .

There is .

The first thing that can help increase it is something called resveratrol .

Now what's interesting about resveratrol , resveratrol is in several things .

It's in grapes , cranberries .

It's in blueberries .

It's also in dark chocolate .

It's in pistachios , and it's especially in something called Japanese knokweed .

They make that into a tea and they do have resveratrol in a powder .

So if you were gonna take a , like , tablespoon a day , that could help you .

But what's interesting about resveratrol and all the berries that I just mentioned is that they're all polyphenols .

And even in the chocolate , it's loaded with polyphenols .

Okay ?

Now remember when I talk about that drug 24 dinatrophenol ?

Apparently , there's an interesting connection between phenols .

Right ?

Polyphenols and just regular phenols .

The chemistry of phenols apparently , can create a mitochondrial uncoupling effect .

Now there's some other things that can create this uncoupling as well .

Ketones .

This is probably one of the reasons why people lose more weight when they do the ketogenic diet .

And of course , ketones actually help the mitochondria just work better in general .

Then we have cold therapy .

Think about what happens when you do cold immersion or cold shower .

The core temperature , needs to always be constant , And your body's gonna fight like heck to keep that core temperature at 98.6 .

So think about how much heat you'd have to generate to do that .

And when you're doing cold immersion , you're not exercising .

You're not eating differently .

You're just experiencing a lot of uncomfortableness , and you're generating a tremendous amount of heat , and you're burning a lot of fat .

Then we have another one called exercise .

That's right .

Exercise helps the mitochondria waste energy .

Fasting is another way of creating uncoupling .

Green tea has a mild effect of mitochondrial uncoupling and even doing a sauna or a Jacuzzi creates a similar effect to mitochondrial uncoupling .

Now on the flip side , what are some things that will block this mitochondrial uncoupling ?

That would be important to know .

Number 1 , excess calories .

Think about it .

When you eat too much and what I mean too much is I'm talking about you're eating excess of what your mitochondria can burn .

You inhibit this mitochondrial uncoupling and you worsen the mitochondria .

This could be eating way too many carbs , too much sugar like the average person .

Then it can also mean eating too much fat .

This is something I rarely talk about , but I think it's important not to overeat because you're forcing your body to overload that mitochondria and your body can't burn it off .

Now , if you exercise a lot then you need to eat more .

But how many people are eating just too much for their activity level and their age ?

This also includes the snacking .

This is why intermittent fasting is a really great strategy as well .

Ageing .

As you get older , we have less mitochondrial uncoupling .

The more sedentary you are , the less effect you're going to create with this uncoupling .

The more you're exposed to heavy metals that can also block the mitochondria and certain medications , especially statins , beta blockers , metformin and antibiotics .

Now if you want to know the details of exactly what to eat for the healthy version of the ketogenic diet , it's in this video right here .
