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
