Sintesi

TLDRDr. Berg emphasizes that fasting, especially intermittent fasting, is one of the most effective health practices. He explains the transition from sugar burning to fat burning and stresses the adverse effects of snacking, which spikes insulin and can lead to insulin resistance over time. By skipping breakfast and maintaining a low-carb diet, individuals can control hunger and extend fasting windows to achieve better health outcomes. Dr. Berg advocates for nutrient-dense foods, including healthy fats, to support this process. Intermittent fasting not only aids in weight loss but also promotes better mental health by enhancing cognitive functions and moods, while strengthening the immune system. He warns against common pitfalls like snacking and misunderstanding cholesterol levels, advising new habits as a long-term lifestyle change. Finally, he stresses that moderation isn't key when addressing significant health improvements, and specific dietary adjustments are necessary.

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    Intermittent fasting is crucial for improving health by transitioning from sugar burning to fat burning. It works when your appetite decreases, indicating your body starts using stored fat for energy. It's more about getting healthy first to enable weight loss later. Skipping breakfast and reducing carbohydrate intake during lunch and dinner helps manage appetite effectively.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    To support longer fasting periods, incorporate healthy fats at meal ends, aiding satiety. The concept of 'healthy keto' involves quality, nutrient-rich foods rather than just low-carb fast food options, ensuring a healthier appearance and better results. Snacking, especially at night, should be avoided as it disrupts progress by stimulating insulin production.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:15:00

    Using apple cider vinegar and lemon in water helps improve insulin sensitivity, facilitating nutrient absorption and satiety. Eating large salads boosts nutrient intake, supporting metabolic and physiological functions, and aids ketosis. Green tea and certain herbs can also aid fasting by improving insulin resistance and reducing appetite.

  • 00:15:00 - 00:20:00

    Avoid eating around exercise periods to maximize the effects of growth hormones. Ensuring adequate nutrition during fasting through supplements like B vitamins and electrolytes helps prevent symptoms like keto fatigue and muscle cramps. Snacks, especially those high in protein, should be minimized to avoid disrupting insulin balance and ketosis.

  • 00:20:00 - 00:25:39

    Success with fasting requires time and consistency as it's a long-term health strategy rather than a quick fix. Moderation in carbs is crucial, and focusing primarily on health benefits over immediate weight loss is key. Dismissing the 'everything in moderation' approach is essential for fostering significant health improvements.

  • 00:00:00
    so out of anything you could possibly do
  • 00:00:02
    for your health fasting and in minute
  • 00:00:05
    fasting are the most important things
  • 00:00:07
    you can do there's nothing else that
  • 00:00:09
    even comes close in creating more Health
  • 00:00:12
    now on the flip side snacking and
  • 00:00:15
    continued eating is the worst thing you
  • 00:00:17
    can do for your health so today I'm
  • 00:00:19
    going to show you the basics of how to
  • 00:00:21
    do intermittent fasting actually it's
  • 00:00:24
    not necessarily just for the beginners
  • 00:00:26
    it's for advanced people too because I
  • 00:00:28
    found that if you're running into a
  • 00:00:30
    plateau or things aren't going as smooth
  • 00:00:33
    um you need to go back to the basics all
  • 00:00:36
    right let's get into the meat and
  • 00:00:37
    potatoes of fasting well we probably
  • 00:00:39
    shouldn't talk about potatoes how about
  • 00:00:40
    the meat in cauliflower of fasting what
  • 00:00:43
    we're trying to do is we're trying to go
  • 00:00:45
    from sugar burning to fat burning a big
  • 00:00:49
    confusion that a lot of people have when
  • 00:00:51
    they're fasting is they think their body
  • 00:00:53
    is starving they think it's not eating
  • 00:00:55
    but in reality your body is eating when
  • 00:00:57
    it's not eating it's finally eating its
  • 00:01:00
    own fat that is why the best indicator
  • 00:01:04
    to know that it's working is your
  • 00:01:07
    appetite gone okay if your appetite is
  • 00:01:11
    going away and you don't have any more
  • 00:01:12
    appetite and you're not hungry anymore
  • 00:01:14
    guess what it's working and it makes it
  • 00:01:16
    a lot easier to stick to if you don't
  • 00:01:18
    have an appetite so the principle that
  • 00:01:22
    I've talked about in other videos is you
  • 00:01:23
    have to get healthy to lose weight not
  • 00:01:26
    lose weight to get healthy that means
  • 00:01:29
    that we're not necessarily focused on
  • 00:01:31
    weight loss weight loss will come after
  • 00:01:34
    you get healthy but a better indicator
  • 00:01:37
    for success is your ability to fast
  • 00:01:41
    comfortably because you're not hungry
  • 00:01:43
    like right now it's 12:00 noon I haven't
  • 00:01:45
    eaten since yesterday at about 6:30 am I
  • 00:01:49
    hungry I'm not hungry I am absolutely
  • 00:01:52
    not interested in any food at all I
  • 00:01:55
    don't want to eat anything right now the
  • 00:01:57
    first meal that I have will be roughly
  • 00:01:58
    about 33 30 today and even then I could
  • 00:02:01
    probably fast longer just because I've
  • 00:02:03
    been doing it for a long time but you
  • 00:02:05
    want to get into a condition where the
  • 00:02:08
    food is no longer controlling you you're
  • 00:02:11
    controlling your food so many people are
  • 00:02:14
    into this this situation where the food
  • 00:02:17
    is literally controlling their life and
  • 00:02:19
    it's destroying their life all right so
  • 00:02:21
    the first thing you need to do is Skip
  • 00:02:24
    breakfast okay or start to push your
  • 00:02:27
    breakfast further further
  • 00:02:30
    towards lunch okay so when you wake up
  • 00:02:32
    in the morning ask yourself are you
  • 00:02:34
    really hungry or are you just eating out
  • 00:02:36
    of habit chances are you're not going to
  • 00:02:39
    be hungry for breakfast so don't eat so
  • 00:02:42
    the rule of thumb is don't eat if you're
  • 00:02:44
    not hungry okay now to help you not be
  • 00:02:47
    hungry uh for breakfast you have to make
  • 00:02:50
    sure that you keep your carbs down for
  • 00:02:53
    your lunch in your dinner because if you
  • 00:02:55
    have carbs in your lunch or your dinner
  • 00:02:58
    guess what the next day you're going to
  • 00:03:00
    be hungry in the morning but if you keep
  • 00:03:03
    your carbs low and I'm talking about
  • 00:03:05
    roughly about maybe 20 grams maybe 30
  • 00:03:08
    grams then you're not going to be hungry
  • 00:03:10
    in the morning the other thing that you
  • 00:03:12
    can do is you can also do the
  • 00:03:13
    Bulletproof Coffee you can add either
  • 00:03:15
    butter to your coffee or MCT oil butter
  • 00:03:18
    is very satisfying and MCT oil will turn
  • 00:03:21
    into ketones so it's going to be a lot
  • 00:03:23
    easier to go all the way up until your
  • 00:03:24
    first meal at noon so depending on if
  • 00:03:26
    you drink coffee or not if you don't
  • 00:03:28
    drink coffee just do a tablespoon of MCT
  • 00:03:31
    oil that's a type of extract from
  • 00:03:33
    coconut oil that turns into ketones very
  • 00:03:36
    very fast so the other thing you have to
  • 00:03:38
    realize is that all these hormones are
  • 00:03:41
    on rhythms or waves okay and the
  • 00:03:44
    cortisol
  • 00:03:46
    hormone Peaks at 8:00 in the morning so
  • 00:03:50
    you may find that you're hungry in the
  • 00:03:53
    morning because of a cortisol Spike but
  • 00:03:57
    you're not really hungry it's just a
  • 00:03:59
    hormonal uh shift and a sensation that
  • 00:04:02
    you get so the next thing I'm going to
  • 00:04:05
    recommend is if you have this minor
  • 00:04:08
    hungry feeling just ignore it ignore the
  • 00:04:13
    hunger nine times out of 10 it will go
  • 00:04:16
    away okay and that's just because
  • 00:04:19
    there's certain hormonal shifts
  • 00:04:20
    happening in the body that are creating
  • 00:04:22
    that sensation but just ignore it now if
  • 00:04:25
    you ignore it and it doesn't go away and
  • 00:04:28
    you feel dizzy tired weak then you need
  • 00:04:31
    to eat but you really need to be able to
  • 00:04:33
    tell the difference between hunger and
  • 00:04:36
    time to eat but realize as you start
  • 00:04:39
    doing this it's going to get easier and
  • 00:04:41
    you won't have any hunger in the morning
  • 00:04:44
    unless you consume carbohydrates all
  • 00:04:46
    right the next little thing I'm going to
  • 00:04:48
    say is at this uh first meal uh make
  • 00:04:51
    sure you add some fat at the end of the
  • 00:04:52
    meal that can be peans or olives or some
  • 00:04:56
    Nut Butter it could be peanut butter it
  • 00:04:57
    could be breed cheese could be fatty
  • 00:05:00
    meat could be any of those why do you
  • 00:05:03
    want to add fat because when you start
  • 00:05:05
    doing in a minute fasting you haven't
  • 00:05:06
    adapted yet and so you need the fat to
  • 00:05:10
    help you go longer to feel satisfied so
  • 00:05:13
    you can fast longer because the fasting
  • 00:05:16
    itself and the combination of low carbs
  • 00:05:19
    is really what's going to help you start
  • 00:05:21
    to adapt to this new machine in your
  • 00:05:24
    cells that's burning
  • 00:05:27
    fat so the same thing with dinner
  • 00:05:30
    you want to add fat at the end of the
  • 00:05:31
    meal now the next point I'm want to
  • 00:05:33
    bring up is this U whole thing about
  • 00:05:36
    healthy keto okay what is healthy keto
  • 00:05:39
    well uh healthy keto is not just going
  • 00:05:42
    in a low carb it's using quality foods
  • 00:05:44
    that are higher in nutrients because the
  • 00:05:47
    last thing you want to do is end up
  • 00:05:49
    looking like a crackhead and I'm being
  • 00:05:50
    very sarcastic but some people when they
  • 00:05:52
    lose weight they they sort of look very
  • 00:05:55
    unhealthy their hair is dried out uh
  • 00:05:59
    they look older we want you to look good
  • 00:06:02
    as you do the ketogenic diet and look
  • 00:06:04
    younger okay have that healthy glow so
  • 00:06:08
    that's a combination of low carb fasting
  • 00:06:12
    and just healthier ingredients so
  • 00:06:14
    there's such a thing as dirty keto where
  • 00:06:16
    you're not paying attention to the
  • 00:06:19
    quality and you're eating at a fast food
  • 00:06:22
    restaurant or fast food and yeah it's
  • 00:06:25
    low carb because you're not eating the
  • 00:06:26
    bun but it's very very low quality food
  • 00:06:29
    don't recommend that all right so this
  • 00:06:31
    first meal and second meal is called
  • 00:06:34
    your eating window out okay so let's
  • 00:06:36
    just pretend your first meal is at noon
  • 00:06:38
    and your second meal is at 6 o' so that
  • 00:06:41
    would be roughly a 6-hour eating window
  • 00:06:44
    now when you first start out you could
  • 00:06:48
    potentially eat during this window
  • 00:06:50
    through here okay have a snack if you
  • 00:06:52
    want but I would recommend or challenge
  • 00:06:55
    you to not do that because that way we
  • 00:06:58
    get some fasting between these meals too
  • 00:07:00
    and that will help you the snacking is
  • 00:07:02
    the biggest killer for uh progress
  • 00:07:06
    because the snack stimulates insulin
  • 00:07:08
    every time you eat you stimulate this
  • 00:07:10
    thing called insulin and what we're
  • 00:07:12
    trying to do is fix insulin resistance
  • 00:07:15
    which was created by a high level of
  • 00:07:19
    insulin for a long period of time which
  • 00:07:21
    comes from constant eating and eating a
  • 00:07:23
    lot of carbohydrates now if you do a
  • 00:07:26
    6-hour eating window that gives you an
  • 00:07:28
    18-hour fasting cycle that's pretty good
  • 00:07:31
    if you could do 18 hours of fasting
  • 00:07:34
    you're GNA see some amazing results
  • 00:07:37
    especially with your brain you're going
  • 00:07:39
    to grow new brain cells and so your
  • 00:07:41
    cognitive function your focus your
  • 00:07:43
    memory your ability to keep your
  • 00:07:46
    attention your creativity all is going
  • 00:07:48
    to improve as well as your mood you're
  • 00:07:51
    going to be happier if you were
  • 00:07:52
    depressed you're going to feel much much
  • 00:07:55
    better just because your brain is
  • 00:07:57
    healing plus your immune system is going
  • 00:07:59
    to get stronger you actually grow new
  • 00:08:01
    immune stem cells in your bone marrow
  • 00:08:04
    which is really cool inflammation goes
  • 00:08:06
    way down and you start getting
  • 00:08:08
    rejuvenated you start healing faster all
  • 00:08:10
    sorts of amazing things happen all right
  • 00:08:12
    so now here's another problem we need to
  • 00:08:15
    resolve at night okay I know this might
  • 00:08:19
    be hard to believe but there are some
  • 00:08:21
    people out there that have a hard time
  • 00:08:23
    not snacking at night now we're not
  • 00:08:26
    talking about you you probably know
  • 00:08:28
    people or friends family members but
  • 00:08:30
    this snacking at night has to go it's
  • 00:08:34
    called grazing I was a professional
  • 00:08:36
    snacker at night I would basically after
  • 00:08:39
    dinner eat constantly until I went to
  • 00:08:43
    bed it was constantly putting things in
  • 00:08:46
    my mouth and uh you know nuts uh apples
  • 00:08:49
    um chips you name it that was me so
  • 00:08:53
    popcorn oh my gosh and that that's very
  • 00:08:56
    very bad so we want to get rid of the
  • 00:08:59
    snacking how do we do it well we use
  • 00:09:03
    what's called self discipline we have to
  • 00:09:07
    make sure we don't buy any snacks
  • 00:09:08
    anymore so they're not available to us
  • 00:09:11
    you want to stay busy because if you're
  • 00:09:13
    idle and just sitting there maybe
  • 00:09:14
    watching TV it's going to be more
  • 00:09:16
    difficult but I really think that what's
  • 00:09:18
    going to help you is this dinner making
  • 00:09:21
    sure that you have a very big dinner
  • 00:09:24
    with this fat so you're actually really
  • 00:09:27
    full and you don't feel the need for any
  • 00:09:30
    additional things but just realize if
  • 00:09:32
    you're like me and everyone else you
  • 00:09:34
    probably have insulin resistance which
  • 00:09:36
    means you can't absorb nutrients as well
  • 00:09:40
    as you should so even though you eat and
  • 00:09:43
    you're full you might not feel satisfied
  • 00:09:46
    there's a difference feeling satisfied
  • 00:09:48
    is going to happen once the insulin
  • 00:09:50
    resistance goes away and especially if
  • 00:09:52
    you're eating a lot of nutrient-dense
  • 00:09:54
    foods there are some things you can do
  • 00:09:57
    that will also improve that one Point
  • 00:10:00
    apple cided vinegar okay maybe a t
  • 00:10:03
    tablespoon in your water for dinner
  • 00:10:07
    Appley of vinegar has acetic acid the
  • 00:10:10
    biggest benefit of acetic acid is to
  • 00:10:13
    make insulin more sensitive to help your
  • 00:10:16
    blood sugars so it's going to actually
  • 00:10:17
    help you reduce insulin that's why it
  • 00:10:20
    can help you lose weight but it'll also
  • 00:10:22
    help your appetite it'll help actually
  • 00:10:25
    insulin work better so you absorb more
  • 00:10:26
    nutrients and you'll be less hungry so
  • 00:10:28
    apple cider of vinegar in your water is
  • 00:10:30
    really good I would also while you're at
  • 00:10:32
    it add some lemon to your water lemon
  • 00:10:35
    juice okay maybe um a teaspoon maybe a
  • 00:10:39
    half of a lemon maybe a whole lemon this
  • 00:10:41
    way you can have things like vitamin C
  • 00:10:43
    if it's fresh or citric acid that can
  • 00:10:45
    help reduce kidney stones and if you're
  • 00:10:48
    at risk for gout U because sometimes
  • 00:10:50
    when you're doing fasting your uric acid
  • 00:10:53
    goes up which acts as an antioxidant but
  • 00:10:56
    it can flare up gout so just add the
  • 00:10:59
    lemon and apple cett of vinegar in your
  • 00:11:01
    water when you drink this for dinner
  • 00:11:03
    another suggestion are these things
  • 00:11:06
    called vegetables okay I highly
  • 00:11:10
    recommend you consume more vegetables
  • 00:11:12
    and I'm talking about like a big salad I
  • 00:11:14
    will do my big salad either in the first
  • 00:11:17
    meal or the second meal now my my meal
  • 00:11:21
    is actually about right here so I might
  • 00:11:23
    eat at 3: and then at 6 so I have a very
  • 00:11:25
    very short in eating window it's hard
  • 00:11:28
    for me to eat all the calories in one
  • 00:11:29
    meal so I spread it out within like
  • 00:11:31
    maybe three maybe four hours but that's
  • 00:11:33
    just me I just want to focus right now
  • 00:11:35
    on not necessarily going Beyond this 18
  • 00:11:38
    and six but let's say you're eating at
  • 00:11:40
    12 and 6 to make it easy you can add a
  • 00:11:43
    salad right here and a salad right here
  • 00:11:46
    or you can just have a very big salad
  • 00:11:48
    the salad that you eat uh should be uh
  • 00:11:50
    eaten in the beginning of the meal why
  • 00:11:53
    because if you eat the protein first I
  • 00:11:56
    have found that the chances of you
  • 00:11:58
    eating that salad are going to be slim
  • 00:12:00
    to none because you're now filled up
  • 00:12:02
    with the protein so I always recommend
  • 00:12:04
    eat the salad first and then eat your
  • 00:12:06
    protein and fat second it seems to work
  • 00:12:09
    uh but again uh that's just a minor
  • 00:12:11
    point now why do we need the salad well
  • 00:12:13
    it's going to give you more potassium
  • 00:12:15
    and magnesium which is going to help
  • 00:12:18
    that insulin problem I talked about also
  • 00:12:21
    it's going to give you energy also it's
  • 00:12:23
    going to pre prevent cramping in your
  • 00:12:26
    legs and it's going to prevent keto
  • 00:12:29
    fatigue etc etc the fiber and the
  • 00:12:33
    vegetables uh feeds the
  • 00:12:35
    microbes and that's what the microbes
  • 00:12:37
    live on so you're feeding your microbes
  • 00:12:39
    they get to eat something and then what
  • 00:12:41
    they do is they change it into a type of
  • 00:12:45
    fat which actually is really good for
  • 00:12:48
    your blood sugars so I found that if I
  • 00:12:53
    don't consume large salads that I don't
  • 00:12:56
    feel quite right in fact it's harder to
  • 00:12:59
    into keto and um it's not going to go as
  • 00:13:03
    smooth also the vegetables are really
  • 00:13:05
    good for your liver and you're just
  • 00:13:06
    going to feel cleaner if you do
  • 00:13:09
    that and you can switch it out you can
  • 00:13:12
    have just vegetables okay sometime or
  • 00:13:15
    just a salad other time if you do the
  • 00:13:18
    vegetables you don't need the quantity
  • 00:13:20
    you don't need 10 cups of like broccoli
  • 00:13:21
    right so you do smaller maybe half the
  • 00:13:23
    amount and then uh for salad because
  • 00:13:26
    it's it's not as dense uh you can have
  • 00:13:29
    more of that the salads the appside of
  • 00:13:31
    vinegar eating more fat at the end of
  • 00:13:33
    the meal is going to help you avoid this
  • 00:13:36
    snacking now I want to just mention
  • 00:13:38
    something about cholesterol because um
  • 00:13:40
    this question keeps coming up over and
  • 00:13:42
    over and over and over again uh what
  • 00:13:43
    happens if my cholesterol goes up it
  • 00:13:45
    happens with a percentage of the
  • 00:13:48
    population usually it goes down but in
  • 00:13:50
    some people it goes up like my wife and
  • 00:13:53
    um people are concerned they go to the
  • 00:13:55
    doctor and like oh my gosh my
  • 00:13:57
    cholesterol is high because I'm eating
  • 00:13:58
    all this fat F Well if you really
  • 00:14:01
    understand what's happening it's not
  • 00:14:03
    going to be that scary because when you
  • 00:14:05
    burn fat a certain portion of that fat
  • 00:14:08
    is uh cholesterol so it's composed of
  • 00:14:12
    triglycerides which you use for
  • 00:14:15
    energy but also cholesterol which you
  • 00:14:17
    don't use for energy you don't burn
  • 00:14:19
    cholesterol so the cholesterol and the
  • 00:14:21
    fat has to come out has to go somewhere
  • 00:14:24
    right I mean the whole goal is to burn
  • 00:14:26
    your fat Reserve so we have to get the
  • 00:14:28
    clust out somehow so it has to go
  • 00:14:31
    through this thing called the liver okay
  • 00:14:34
    it comes to the liver and uh if you
  • 00:14:36
    don't have enough liver function or you
  • 00:14:38
    don't have enough bile uh for some
  • 00:14:41
    reason let's say you don't have a
  • 00:14:43
    gallbladder or let's say you you have a
  • 00:14:46
    fatty liver and you're not producing
  • 00:14:48
    enough
  • 00:14:49
    bile then you may have a little backup
  • 00:14:52
    of cholesterol so the more bow you have
  • 00:14:55
    the the easier it is for your body to
  • 00:14:57
    get rid of this excess cholesterol
  • 00:14:59
    but even the fact that your cholesterol
  • 00:15:00
    is high and you don't have the bile to
  • 00:15:03
    break it down or get rid of it as fast
  • 00:15:05
    as you would like realize if you went to
  • 00:15:08
    do an advanced lipid profile test and
  • 00:15:11
    you found that you have high
  • 00:15:14
    LDL there's a couple different types of
  • 00:15:17
    LDL and you're going to find that the
  • 00:15:19
    high LDL that you have is the large
  • 00:15:22
    particle size it's not the small dense
  • 00:15:25
    uh type of LDL so the small dense type
  • 00:15:28
    is the dangerous one you're not going to
  • 00:15:30
    find that you're only going to find that
  • 00:15:32
    if you're doing high carbs okay so I
  • 00:15:36
    wouldn't worry about it but if you are
  • 00:15:37
    concerned you can do the test and you
  • 00:15:38
    can see for yourself and I included a
  • 00:15:41
    video of my own wife having high LDL and
  • 00:15:44
    I explain that thoroughly now the other
  • 00:15:47
    thing that I want to mention which is
  • 00:15:49
    the icing and the cake or well I
  • 00:15:50
    probably shouldn't talk about cake but
  • 00:15:52
    when you do intermittent fasting and
  • 00:15:53
    keto together within 14
  • 00:15:56
    days 50%
  • 00:15:59
    of the fat in your liver is going to be
  • 00:16:01
    gone that is huge that is exciting as
  • 00:16:05
    long as you don't eat that icing on the
  • 00:16:07
    cake of course all right a couple other
  • 00:16:09
    things I'm going to show you about this
  • 00:16:11
    uh fasting thing um green tea very very
  • 00:16:16
    very awesome to uh drink through the day
  • 00:16:19
    because green
  • 00:16:21
    tea helps insulin resistance okay it'll
  • 00:16:24
    allow you to fast longer now there's
  • 00:16:27
    other types of tea or herbs that are in
  • 00:16:30
    tea that are also really good for blood
  • 00:16:32
    sugars that will help reduce appetite uh
  • 00:16:35
    like green tea will like cinnamon tea
  • 00:16:38
    using the herb Garcinia jining Ginger
  • 00:16:42
    are all really good to lower your
  • 00:16:44
    appetite so that's just an extra little
  • 00:16:46
    tip if you exercise okay I'm going to
  • 00:16:50
    recommend you not do any type of
  • 00:16:53
    preworkout drink with a carbohydrate or
  • 00:16:56
    even protein I wouldn't recomend any
  • 00:16:59
    post drink or taking any amino acids
  • 00:17:03
    while you're working out before or after
  • 00:17:06
    why because here you are you just worked
  • 00:17:08
    out and you created this amazing effect
  • 00:17:11
    with growth hormone and as soon as you
  • 00:17:13
    start eating something you basically
  • 00:17:16
    kind of nullify a lot of those results
  • 00:17:18
    especially if it's carbohydrate and even
  • 00:17:21
    if it's protein okay you're doing some
  • 00:17:24
    protein powder so realize as far as the
  • 00:17:28
    nutrient
  • 00:17:30
    around that exercise especially amino
  • 00:17:33
    acids you're going to get enough amino
  • 00:17:34
    acids from the meals okay so you don't
  • 00:17:37
    have to worry about putting back these
  • 00:17:38
    amino acids because really most of them
  • 00:17:41
    tend to even just turn the sugar like
  • 00:17:43
    the branch amino acids so I wouldn't
  • 00:17:45
    recommend uh eating around that exercise
  • 00:17:48
    keep your fasting consistent okay the
  • 00:17:51
    other point I want to bring up is
  • 00:17:53
    supplements uh when people fast a lot of
  • 00:17:56
    times they have symptoms like keto
  • 00:17:57
    fatigue keto flu they might get cramps
  • 00:18:01
    they might have thyroid
  • 00:18:02
    symptoms all that means is that you're
  • 00:18:06
    probably deficient in certain nutrients
  • 00:18:08
    because the demand for certain nutrients
  • 00:18:10
    go higher and maybe you haven't been
  • 00:18:12
    eating nutrient-dense foods for a while
  • 00:18:14
    so what you need to do is just make sure
  • 00:18:17
    you just take B vitamins natural ones I
  • 00:18:19
    recommend nutritional yeast and
  • 00:18:22
    electrolytes and I would recommend an
  • 00:18:24
    electrolyte powder that also has trace
  • 00:18:27
    minerals I'll put a link down of the one
  • 00:18:29
    that I recommend that way you can get
  • 00:18:31
    the trace minerals and the electrolyte
  • 00:18:35
    minerals with high amounts of potassium
  • 00:18:37
    which is going to help you potassium is
  • 00:18:39
    needed in large amounts in the body I'm
  • 00:18:41
    talking like 4700 milligrams
  • 00:18:44
    so sometimes if you can't do a lot of
  • 00:18:47
    salad this is a good little backup plan
  • 00:18:49
    but if you do the supplements okay with
  • 00:18:52
    inent fasting and especially prolonged
  • 00:18:55
    fasting you can easily avoid keto
  • 00:18:58
    fatigue keto flu thyroid symptoms all
  • 00:19:02
    right so now let me just cover a couple
  • 00:19:05
    mistakes that people make
  • 00:19:07
    um a small snack let's say you're doing
  • 00:19:10
    keto and you're like you're on a roll
  • 00:19:14
    I'm just going to fast all day long so
  • 00:19:15
    instead of um doing the fasting and
  • 00:19:19
    waiting to your big meal I'm just going
  • 00:19:21
    to do maybe a little snack just to kind
  • 00:19:24
    of push me through thinking that doing a
  • 00:19:27
    little snack or lower calories is going
  • 00:19:30
    to get me by and I'll be fine with that
  • 00:19:32
    but realize that the snacks especially
  • 00:19:36
    the protein ones like if you did like a
  • 00:19:39
    scoop of peanut butter for example you
  • 00:19:41
    what's going to happen is you're going
  • 00:19:42
    to spike insulin it's a protein protein
  • 00:19:45
    triggers insulin not as much as carbs
  • 00:19:47
    but it will and then guess what about an
  • 00:19:50
    hour and a half you're going to be
  • 00:19:51
    hungry it's going to throw you off your
  • 00:19:54
    plan so there's really only two things
  • 00:19:58
    that won't stimulate
  • 00:20:01
    insulin fiber and
  • 00:20:04
    fat protein will so if you have to snack
  • 00:20:09
    on
  • 00:20:11
    something do either pure fat as in like
  • 00:20:14
    MCA oil okay or that Bulletproof
  • 00:20:17
    Coffee or Fiber something very fibrous
  • 00:20:22
    like celery for example without the
  • 00:20:25
    peanut butter or some greens okay now
  • 00:20:28
    some of you are going like I'm not going
  • 00:20:29
    to do that because that's not very
  • 00:20:30
    pleasurable but I'm just telling you
  • 00:20:33
    that a mistake that people make is doing
  • 00:20:35
    this little protein snack as I interview
  • 00:20:38
    people and find out why it's not working
  • 00:20:41
    um I find out there well I'm sort of
  • 00:20:43
    doing keto with a couple little snacks
  • 00:20:45
    through the day and that type of thing
  • 00:20:47
    so just realize that that's why your
  • 00:20:50
    results are not going to be where you
  • 00:20:52
    need to be them I'm just bringing this
  • 00:20:53
    up as a as a point these small snacks
  • 00:20:57
    are a killer okay even if they're
  • 00:21:00
    healthy okay the next uh little thing
  • 00:21:03
    that I want to bring up is that
  • 00:21:06
    um the awareness of a little bit of carb
  • 00:21:10
    and what that does to the state of
  • 00:21:13
    ketosis if you're trying to lose weight
  • 00:21:15
    if you're trying to get into a really
  • 00:21:17
    good fasting State and um and you're
  • 00:21:21
    going
  • 00:21:21
    along and let's say at night you do I'm
  • 00:21:25
    just going to do a little wine it's not
  • 00:21:27
    many calories whatever or let's say
  • 00:21:30
    during the day you're going to do just
  • 00:21:31
    like one piece of
  • 00:21:32
    bread what you have to realize is that
  • 00:21:34
    little bit of carb uh can block you as
  • 00:21:38
    far as knocking you out of ketosis for a
  • 00:21:42
    good amount of time um half a glass of
  • 00:21:45
    wine could knock you out of ketosis for
  • 00:21:47
    24 hours um a couple drinks on the
  • 00:21:51
    weekend that whole weekend you're not
  • 00:21:53
    going to be burning any fat or you're
  • 00:21:55
    not going to be in ketosis just realize
  • 00:21:57
    that I'm not telling you not to do it
  • 00:22:00
    I'm just the messenger giving you the
  • 00:22:04
    information that if you do it don't be
  • 00:22:07
    surprised if the results are not what
  • 00:22:09
    you want them to be
  • 00:22:11
    okay because sometimes people are just
  • 00:22:14
    thinking of calories they're not looking
  • 00:22:16
    at the hormone effects of different
  • 00:22:18
    types of food all right the next point I
  • 00:22:21
    want to bring up is this uh this idea
  • 00:22:25
    that it's all going to happen really
  • 00:22:27
    quick maybe maybe you have a friend or
  • 00:22:30
    family member that does this and it
  • 00:22:32
    happens really quick for them but for
  • 00:22:33
    you it's not happening um I had a guy
  • 00:22:37
    that did my program many years ago I
  • 00:22:41
    didn't really educate him that well and
  • 00:22:44
    he says yeah your program didn't work I
  • 00:22:46
    says what do you mean yeah I did it for
  • 00:22:48
    two weeks and it didn't work I says what
  • 00:22:50
    happened well it did work for two weeks
  • 00:22:52
    but then I stopped doing it but then it
  • 00:22:54
    didn't keep working I'm like what I said
  • 00:22:59
    this is not a short-term thing where
  • 00:23:01
    it's just going to fix your weight
  • 00:23:03
    problem now you can go back to your old
  • 00:23:05
    plan this is like a lifelong change a
  • 00:23:09
    new
  • 00:23:10
    lifestyle process or habit that you need
  • 00:23:14
    to do consistently for the rest of your
  • 00:23:17
    life okay and that was something that I
  • 00:23:19
    just needed to educate him on because of
  • 00:23:22
    this point the number of years that an
  • 00:23:25
    average person has eaten poorly and I'm
  • 00:23:27
    including myself in this uh group um has
  • 00:23:31
    been a long time okay we've developed
  • 00:23:34
    this condition called insulin resistance
  • 00:23:36
    it's become very very chronic okay it's
  • 00:23:38
    a bad problem and uh the time it takes
  • 00:23:42
    to fix it is much greater than what you
  • 00:23:45
    may think the level of effort is going
  • 00:23:48
    to be a lot more than what you think so
  • 00:23:51
    you want to give it time you don't want
  • 00:23:54
    to focus on just the weight you want to
  • 00:23:56
    focus on the appetite energy cogn
  • 00:23:58
    improvements decrease
  • 00:24:00
    inflammation that means it's working
  • 00:24:02
    because you're creating your health so
  • 00:24:05
    this is why you have to have patience
  • 00:24:07
    this is why we call you a patient and
  • 00:24:09
    this is why we have also a waiting room
  • 00:24:13
    last point I want to bring up this false
  • 00:24:17
    piece of information that we've been
  • 00:24:20
    told so many times everything in
  • 00:24:23
    moderation just a little bit is fine
  • 00:24:26
