What's the Root Cause? by Dr Vikki Petersen

Honey’s Incredible Fat Loss Benefits- and 5 more reasons to add it back into your Diet!n


Listen Later

If you've stopped consuming any honey because it's a carb and a sugar, I ask that you give me a few minutes to share 6 amazing information about honey. You'll be glad you learned this!

There is an abundance of research on both rodents and humans to be found in journals such as:
Letters in Drug Design & Discover, Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Frontiers in Nutrition, Journal of Medicinal Food, Food Research, Journal of the American College of Nutrition, and Biochemistry Research International.

Honey decreases the size and number of fat cells.
Honey decreases inflammation by decreasing inflammatory cytokines.
Honey decreases visceral fat. One mechanism is that honey decreases cortisol (a stress hormone) that causes deposition of fat around your organs, despite the presence of fat.
Honey helps in weight loss.

The bottom line is that honey contains some special substances, antioxidants and flavonoids, that allow it to perform all these incredible benefits.

Honey stabilizes blood sugar, allowing your glucose to be utilized efficiently.
[NOTE: At 6:08 I misspoke: I meant to say that the hormone PYY INCREASES, not decreases. Ghrelin does decrease, but PYY, which regulates appetite and energy balance increases. Apologies for the error.]
Stable blood sugar allows these good compounds to get deep into your colon acting as a prebiotic and enhancing your gut microbiome.

Dosage and Quality are everything!
Think about honey as a supplement.
The two best varieties are buckwheat and manuka. They are expensive so think of the honey like a supplement.

Dose is anywhere from 1 teaspoon, to 1 to 4 tablespoons. Start with 1 tablespoon and see how you do. 

If you're keeping your carbs very low, take your honey immediately before exercise.

Enjoy and let me know what effects you notice.
