Hey guys, in this video, we're going to talk about the seven lessons that I've learned from

many weight loss failures. Now, I've been in practice for 29 years. I've worked on about 40,000

different people. So, I had a lot of interaction with people, and you learn so much from your clients.

It's incredible. So, I guess that's why you call it a practice. So, you're practicing, and they're

a patient. So, they have to have patients, and we have a waiting room. But, I had a great opportunity

to find out what works, and what doesn't work. So, I'm going to go through the seven lessons

that I've learned. So, let's start with number one, fruit. So, here's the lesson that I learned

about fruit. You don't want to use fruit if you're trying to help people lose weight. Now, I'm talking

about someone with a slow metabolism. I pretty much approach everyone from the viewpoint that they

have a slow metabolism. Why do we do that? Because we're going to get results with every type of

case. But, if you're operating off this idea that everyone has a good metabolism, and they don't

have insulin resistance, your results are going to be very, very poor. So, tiny bit of fruit could

block a lot of fat burning for a day or two. Less than number two. Snacks. Now, I used to recommend

so-called healthy snacks. I used to consume healthy snacks between meals, and definitely at night.

At the time, I thought it was okay, because it was healthy. It wasn't junk food. But, I found out

through trial and error that that's really bad advice, because the snacking increases insulin,

just because anytime you eat, you trigger insulin. And this data is right in guidance physiology.

I must have missed it when I originally studied that, but the point is that if you cut out the snacks,

that one action creates huge benefits. So, it's a very important lesson that I learn if you

want to get results with stubborn weight, especially if you have a slow metabolism or a thyroid issue

or whatever. So, even if it's healthy, you want to do everything to avoid the snacking between

the meals. That's why we do intermittent fasting. All right, number three. I used to recommend,
