hey guys dr. Burke here in this video we’re gonna talk about how you could possibly gain weight on consuming just salad let’s see you’re out doing the keto plan you’re doing one meal a day and you’re basically having just a salad but you’re having a lot of it and all of a sudden you gain two pounds how can that be is that actually fat well not really now it could be hidden carbs in the croutons the salad dressing or the dried fruit but if you’re on my program chances are these are not the problem okay what is the problem well first of all a lot of people are not used to consuming large quantities of lettuce or salad so they don’t have the microbes which means they’re not going to have the enzymes to digest those foods so they’re gonna have a hard time digesting now in these salads you have inside the fibers which act as roughage and insoluble fibers which basically ferment and your microbes can consume those as their meal but the Seibel fibers absorb a lot of water okay it’s sort of like a sponge and so here you are you drink some water and it doesn’t come out it kind of gets stuck in there and because you’re not able to digest all this your whole digestive system slows down and you feel full you’re bloated and you’re retaining water that’s why you gain two pounds so in the meantime what can you do well you can steam your vegetables which will allow these fibers to break down a little bit more making it easier to digest them and also switch the type of vegetables that you’re consuming try doing squash or cauliflower steamed cauliflower or some broccoli or asparagus which both all these mainly are steamed anyways these will help you and take the stress off the microbes as you’re building up the microflora to be able to digest the quantities of vegetables that you need so try this out and let me know how it works so if you’re enjoying these videos click share and spread the word
