Healthy Ketogenic Diet and Intermittent Fasting:
0:00 About Mastering the Zone by Barry Sears PhD
3:24 How this book shaped my healthy keto and intermittent fasting plan
4:08 Points I don’t agree with & why you should do Healthy Keto
I’m back with a slightly different video than I usually do. I’m going to talk to you about the book that turned my health around. The name of this book is “Mastering the Zone” by Barry Sears, Ph.D.
This is a quote from his book:
“Obviously, fat was not the enemy. If fat isn’t the enemy, then what is? The answer is insulin. It’s excess insulin that makes you fat and keeps you fat. And your body creates excess amounts of insulin when you eat either too many fat-free carbohydrates or too many calories at a meal. Therefore, when you talk about the zone, it is really the zone of insulin. Not too high, not too low—a zone of insulin controlled by your diet.”
In the second chapter, he goes on to talk about protein:
“More important, protein is so vital because it stimulates the hormone glucagon.”
Glucagon opposes insulin. It was the exact opposite effect, which means you can reduce the effects of insulin by increasing glucagon.
Protein and exercise both work to increase glucagon. Carbs, of course, stimulate insulin.
“Glucagon has the opposite physiological action of insulin. In fact, glucagon acts as a major governor of excess insulin production.”
He goes on to write, “It is excess insulin that makes you fat, makes you hungry, makes you mentally foggy, decreases physical performance, and increases the likelihood of chronic disease.”
This information blew me away. It is at the heart of my Healthy Keto and intermittent fasting diet.
However, I improved on this method by increasing his recommended fat intake from 40% to 70%. I also recommend 20% protein, 5% vegetables, and 5% carbs.
