The Trick to Outsmarting Our Bodies

The Trick

Outsmarting our bodies is not the easiest thing to do. The trick here is to make the body believe that it needs to burn this precious fuel (fat) because it is under stress.

Here’s the skinny

Insulin levels lower approximately 2-4 hours after ingesting, so don't take carbs 4 hours before going to bed if you can. People who under estimate the first HGH spike of the night when we sleep are not realizing this is the biggest HGH release of the night, as the second one is second best and third is third best and so on.

If we spike our insulin dramatically right before sleeping, we’re preventing the biggest release of the night. If we do this everyday, this will result in so much HGH loss over time. Worst of all are the people who compound this with spiking the insulin at night and wake up and spike their insulin again first thing in the morning with breakfast.

These people are never giving their bodies the adequate HGH that it needs in order to function optimally. When we were hunter gathers, carbs were used primarily around hunting time to replenish energy. The body is used to going without food for long spurts, thus greatly increasing HGH production.

When we spike our insulin at night and in the morning blunting the production of HGH, this is where we see problems like early balding, excess fat, depression, flaky skin, poor vision and the list goes on and on. Simply put without proper HGH levels in the body we’re hindering our ability to grow new cells and burn fat in the simplest of terms.
