what if I told you there is a way of
increasing your mental clarity focus
concentration ability to remember while
getting ripped as a by-product and it's
all pretty easy to do what you need to
do is deplete the regular sources of
energy your brain uses for fuel which
restricts its true capacity and then you
need to tap into the brain's preferred
source of energy which is often covered
up and locked away due to our diets and
eating habits and by making some
adjustments to these habits you will be
able to fuel your brain with another
source of energy which allows it to run
up to 70 percent more efficiently than
it normally would so in this video I'll
show you how you can tap into this
hidden super fuel and unlock your true
brain capacity so the first thing you
need to do is to forget about a regular
food pyramid where you're encouraged to
eat a majority of your caloric intake in
carbohydrates and keep fat to an
absolute minimum your body will break
down carbs and excess protein into sugar
known as glucose and that glucose will
force its way as the first source of
energy for both your brain and body
leaving other better sources of energy
untapped and all that excess glucose
will be converted into stored fat so
this way of eating will essentially make
you fat and stupid so flip that food
pyramid upside down and instead eat the
majority of your caloric intake in fat
while keeping carbs extremely low and
this will not make you gain weight and
become fat unless you eat extreme
amounts of course but pretty much the
opposite it will turn you into a
fat-burning machine that uses that fat
as the primary source of fuel as blood
sugar and glucose are depleted from the
lack of carbs and this is generally
known as the ketogenic diet and requires
you to get around 70 to 80 percent of
your caloric intake from fat 15 to 20
percent from protein and inevitably some
carbs you're now tapping into that
preferred source of energy and instead
of storing fat you're not using that fat
as energy and when that fat is broken
down ketone bodies are released to fuel
the brain and let me tell you something
the brain [ __ ] love ketone bodies and
studies have shown that the brain can
run up to 70 percent more efficiently on
Keith
instead of glucose so this new way of
eating will essentially make you ripped
and smart however getting into these
states called ketosis can take up to two
weeks if you never done it before so you
have to stay consistent everyday with
the macros but this is not really a new
way of eating as it's the way humans
evolved to eat and it makes perfect
sense from an evolutionary standpoint
and all these processed foods excess
sugars and carbs is a relatively new way
of eating in a perspective of the human
kind and it's not a surprise that so
many new diseases and cancers has been
created recently cancer cells literally
feeds of glucose but can't get its
energy from ketones and the reason you
don't see this kind of diet promoted by
major food corporations or
pharmaceutical industries is that they
would go [ __ ] broke if they did what
are taught in schools and what most
trained dietitians are advising is
essentially a food pyramid where they
want you to eat most of your caloric
intake in carbs and only a very small
portion in fat and this is a recipe for
obesity diseases cancer and assured life
right so the second thing you need to do
is to forget about the traditional way
of eating many small meals throughout
the day and instead focus on eating
fewer larger meals and fast for an
extended period of the day preferably
for 16 hours leaving you with an 8 hour
eating window and this will also ramp up
the process of getting into ketosis and
this is known as intermittent fasting
and it's becoming one of the most
popular ways of eating and it's not hard
to understand why when you look at the
benefits from it it's super convenient
once you get used to restricting the
hours you eat on and it saves you time
and effort you can spend doing something
else and fasting or consciously
abstaining from food has been used
throughout history by some of the
greatest people to ever live as a way of
improving their quality of life and
plateau the great Greece philosopher has
been quoted saying I fast for creative
physical and mental efficiency so if you
don't take my word for it take plateaus
and indeed the most fascinating aspect
of fasting is the physical and mental
benefits it brings and I'm not talking
about minor improvements here I've
talked before about incredible effects
fasting has on the body and how it
increases the
reduction of natural human growth
hormone up to 2,000 percent for men
which is absolutely ridiculous and human
growth hormone is responsible for muscle
growth fat loss longevity anti aging
cell repair and more so releasing
natural human growth hormone is like the
true Fountain of Youth and it also
brings insane mental clarity and a lot
of research and studies have been made
on this topic where they discovered an
extensive list of health benefits to the
human brain and they discovered that
intermittent fasting will ramp up that
depletion of glucose and use ketones to
fuel the brain which will increase your
focus concentration ability to remember
while simultaneously reducing the risk
of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease
and it increases the BDNF the brain
derived neurotrophic factor by up to
400% which helps activate stem cells in
the brain to make new brain cells
neurons and nerves and BDNF is highly
involved in your muscles and appears to
be a huge reason for why physical
workout have such an impact on your
brain and fasting improves
neuroplasticity which is essential for
learning and memory and as the brain
ages it tends to become less neoplastic
and intermittent fasting prevents this
and you will be able to have a great
mental clarity even as you get older it
improves gene regulation by activating a
number of repair genes termed vitae
genes which is responsible for the delay
of aging decrease occurrence of
age-related diseases and prolongs a
healthy lifespan so swapping glucose for
ketones as a source of energy could have
drastic effects on your overall health
and mental clarity and as if that wasn't
enough it's actually the preferred fuel
for the heart making it operate at about
30% greater efficiency so this might
seem too good to be true like I'm
promoting some limitless pills that will
make you superhuman and outsmart
everyone like Bradley Cooper in
limitless but come on the comparison is
inevitable and it's probably as close as
you will get I could have probably made
a 30-minute video on this topic because
I think it's really fascinating and it's
just so much to cover but you know me I
like to keep my videos short and pack
and as always had to encourage you to do
your own research and I hope I managed
to get you curious about this concept
and if you enjoyed it leave a like it
helps out greatly
if you thought it was [ __ ] leave a
dislike that helps out too thanks for
watching I'll see you in the next one
