so this morning i released a video had the most views i’ve ever had is 25 000 views an hour and take take a while to guess what the topic is corona virus yeah it’s a very hot topic right now you know about i would say 15 years ago i was doing talks around the governmental agencies in washington d. c and also exxon mobil and they kicked me out they actually said you can’t talk anymore i called them up and said why they said well because you’re recommending 45 eggs a day and that’s very bad for the heart i said no i didn’t say 45 i said 4-5 they said oh okay you can come back so sometimes you have to clarify things so uh disclosures no financial ties to pharmaceutical diagnostic or medical devices or food industry owner of dr bird. com dr berg supplements authored the healthy keto plan i organized a summit called the healthy keto summit every year and my bias is low carb so today i want to talk about some unique problems that happen in the keto uh world i have a large uh following on social media i have a facebook close private group of 300 thousand people and i’m it’s called my keto lab i’m able to test different things to see what works see what problems that people are running into and uh gain a tremendous amount of understanding about what people are running into and what the solutions are so i want to share today some common problems and solutions one of the biggest ones being plateau it’s keto stall so i want to talk about that first so a couple couple things one is that you have people who say well it’s not working i only lost two pounds the first week i lost six and now i just lost two pounds i’m like well you have to understand that is normal so it takes a little bit of education at first to set people up but there’s there’s different levels of awareness that you have to understand you have awareness of the problem awareness of the cause of the problem awareness of the solution and also of the correct solution so like i would take like men for example they might have this huge belly but they’re not very aware that that is a fatty liver they’re they’re just like oh yeah it’s fine i can deal with it so i wouldn’t necessarily go right into teaching them about what to eat because that’s too high level so i really address people where they’re at and then build them up and one of the things i found is that you have to teach them the basics of certain things uh especially like one guy came in he goes um yeah your program’s not working i tried it for two weeks and it didn’t work well it did work but then it stopped working well what did you do well i stopped stop the diet i said did you think it was going to keep working if you stop so you really have to educate people from the very beginning and so there’s a really important very vital principle that i talk about and that is about it’s not lose weight to get healthy it’s get healthy to lose the weight and this is so basic because looking at diabetes as a disease doesn’t work as this being this is like this cause of cause situation it’s the effect of course of high insulin if someone does not understand this concept they’re very susceptible to doing the wrong solution very unhealthy programs diet appetite suppressants low quality products they try to get they try to actually diet to lose weight how many of you agree that dieting actually destroys your metabolism you take someone who’s menopause and you ask them how many diets have you been on it’s probably been 10 or 12 and every time they do it of course they’re doing it wrong it slows down the metabolism so just because someone’s losing weight doesn’t mean they’re getting healthy it really depends on how they’re losing weight so there’s some products that people think are healthy you have you know of course the slim fast hidden sugars if you take a look at the ingredients high levels of soy protein isolates which are exposed to hexane which in pubmed is a neurotoxin and there’s no fda has no sealing of how much hexane is in there had a lot of clients come in that have done like programs like ideal protein that really high in soy protein isolates and end up with liver and gallbladder issues so and they’re hidden sugars as well so is a really important question that i always always ask people to figure things out and i think it’s just it’s not emphasized and that is okay when did this problem start and what happened just before that and you can get so much data i had one lady came in with a heart attack a heart attack symptoms she’s been to the hospital spent forty thousand dollars worth of testing and nothing showed up and then we find out i said when did you start well two weeks ago what day tuesday what did you eat she was oh a big banana split i said okay laid it on my table started doing some work on her and it was basically just a congested gallbladder backed up in the liver causing heart pain all the all the heart symptoms went away so it’s really really important to find out what occurred just before you started having that problem i asked that question a lot maltodextrin glycemic index way higher than glucose and sugar so obesity is a symptom it’s not if you focus on obesity you’re going to basically you’re not going to be as successful it’s coming from too much insulin so i have people focus on other indicators of health i try to get them off the weight loss at first because they may not lose weight initially especially if they have a slow metabolism so i always ask them how is your energy is your hunger going away that’s a good indication that the insulin is coming back in a good range carb cravings if you still have carb cravings there’s still there’s a problem with your blood sugars is your belly shrinking um there are people women that are actually menopausal that have a lot of atrophy and it looks just like fat identical because what happens after menopause is sometimes you have a spike in cortisol cortisol tends to turn muscle protein into glucose and then it raises insulin so you have this loss of muscle looks like cellulite and fat and they’re really adamantly want to lose weight but this takes some time to heal this process so in the process they’re building up their proteins you know it takes months and months maybe even a year or two to build up this protein back there where actually they’re per volume the muscle is heavier than the fat so everything is shrinking they’re not losing weight you just have to teach them that this is normal they have to know that so they’re not setting themselves up for a loss so the most important thing that a person could do to increase their health is to use their own fat as fuel so there’s several advantages of doing this number one now you start running on ketones and there’s a lot of advantage it’s a superior fuel more energy output appetite suppressant more efficient better lipid profiles tumors can’t consume ketones reduce oxidative stress and more o2 less co2 and then you have the benefits of reduction of insulin which is the common denominator of so many health problems i mean inflammatory conditions heart of course diabetes the fatty liver high cholesterol aneurysms stroke dementia other than that it doesn’t have any effects but it’s actually pretty connected to everything so you get to do these two things there’s a you know about the glycemic index there’s actually an insulin index too how many of you have not familiar with the insulin index okay those are that’s a scale that um it’s all the non-carbohydrate triggers or the non-carbohydrate influences on insulin and of course fat is the lowest effect on insulin but lean low low-fat protein like whey protein is very high on the scale of the insulin index and this is why the keto works really good because you have higher fat higher fat if you
