Slow vs. Fast Metabolism: Interesting Difference – Dr.Berg on Increasing Metabolism

Recently at our Keto Summit, we had Professor Benjamin Bickman give a talk on ketones.And so this data is taken from his talk. I’ll put a link down below for more information on him,a very fascinating guy. So he was talking about ketones and fat burning.But what I found very interesting was this. When you’re in ketosis,your fat cells are very inefficient. Now, if you take someone with a slow metabolism,

their metabolism actually is very efficient. They can get by on a very tiny amount of fuel.But when you put someone in ketosis, they waste a tremendous amount of fuel. It takes way moreoxygen to make less fuel. I think the best analogy that I can think of would be, let’s say, forexample, you’re driving your car. And instead of having gasoline in the car, you’re running on fatfuel. And the goal is to get rid of that fat fuel. So if you put your foot on the gas pedal,

you’re going to be using more energy, right? But let’s say, for example, you also have your footon the brake pad as well. It’s only going to go so far. So you’re going to have to put more energyor more gas pedal to produce the same amount of energy to get somewhere. So that’s what happensin ketosis. You’re using a lot more fuel because you’re wasting a lot of fuel. And this is verygood because you have a lot of fuel to waste. I mean, one of the worst things that could happen

to a person, let’s say they’re 300 pounds and they get in a diet and they start dropping theircalories to 500. And they do that over a period of time, back and forth, dieting back and forth.And now they’re at a point where they could be working out, eating 500 calories, and they barelylose anything because their body has adjusted so efficiently that it can run on small amounts offuel. Ketosis is completely different. You’re going to be wasting a lot of fuel, and also you’re

going to be breathing out and urinating out ketones. That’s why when you test yourselfwith a breath meter or a glucose stick, that’s wasted fat that’s coming out of your body.Now, there’s actually two studies I’m going to post in the description area. One is a studythat relates ketosis speeding up your metabolism, and the other one relates to lowering yourcarbohydrates, not even necessarily getting into ketosis, but just the fact of lowering your

carbohydrates will increase your metabolism. Because the main factor that controls yourmetabolism is this right here, insulin. Whether you drop your carbs or do fasting, you’re goingto lower insulin. And the fact that you’re lowering insulin is going to speed up your metabolism.So if you’re struggling with this low metabolism, realize we need to switch you over hereso your system becomes more inefficient, wastes more fat, and it’s all about getting into ketosis.

If you’re new to my channel, I put a link down below. You can learn how to do it. It’s very easy.It’s going to be very beneficial because trying to lose weight with a slow metabolism is completelyunnecessary. All it takes is some simple understanding of how to get into ketosisso you can drop insulin and your fat cells can be more inefficient.
