    20:24 Nine tips for improving your insulin sensitivity and metabolism
    In this video, I want to talk about how to fix a broken metabolism. Now, this is an incredibly important topic, so pay attention closely and take notes.
    1. Dieting slows your metabolism. If you have dieted for many years, chances are, your metabolism is very slow.
    2. Dieting increases your hunger and cravings. In turn, many people who go on diets end up gaining the weight right back.
    3. Age slows down your metabolism.
    4. Exercise increases your hunger and cravings.
    5. It’s unnatural to lose weight. If you think about it, your body’s goal is to store energy for when it really needs it-like a time of famine or starvation. Weight gain is a survival mechanism.
    There’s a certain point that your body likes to settle at as far as your weight. I like to call this the “set point.” Your set point is the range where it becomes difficult to either lose weight or even gain weight. I want to show you how to lower your set point. Let’s say your set point is around 182, and you want to lower it to 142. The goal is to drop the set point.
    First, there is one primary thing that ruins your metabolism’s set point: high insulin. In the presence of insulin, it is impossible to lose weight and drop your set point. Insulin promotes fat storage and prevents fat loss. Sugar and carbohydrates trigger insulin. Over years of a high-carb and high-sugar diet, your cells become resistant to insulin, which leads to more insulin production to try to compensate.
    To get insulin resistance under control, you have to limit:
    • Sugar/carbs
    • Protein
    • Gastrointestinal hormones
    • Estrogen
    To fix your metabolism, consume foods low on the glycemic index. High-fat foods are fantastic for fighting insulin resistance and metabolism problems. Avoid low-fat foods.
    Intermittent fasting helps avoid insulin spikes, which reduces insulin resistance and improves metabolism. Only have 1-3 meals a day and skip breakfast whenever possible.
    More tips for fixing your metabolism:
    1. Apple cider vinegar
    2. Fermented foods
    3. High potassium foods
    4. Vitamin B1
    5. Fiber
    6. Fat
    7. Lower cortisol and estrogen
    8. Sleep and exercise
    9. Consume plenty of low-carb vegetables

    My wife was diagnosed 5 weeks ago with T2D. Went keto with cruciferous veggies along with intermittent fasting, ACV and walks after meals. Zero sugars and carbs, besides the veggies.. Her blood sugar went from 300 to cruising around 90-120. I've lost 15 lbs and she's lost 12 lbs. Aches and pains are gone, tremendous mental clarity (she's doing math in her head, never could before!), tons of energy, skin is clear, ankles aren't swollen and waking up bright-eyed. Thank you doctor for the easily understood science and am excited for check up in December! This works!

    I found this channel by pure accident last thursday. I was 337lb, with lots of health issues, highly hypocondriac, could not bear to hear anyting about the body or body functions without feeling physically bad and anxious. Still, for the first time in my life I was interested to hear, everything makes full sense, Dr. Berg's description of the pancreas body type fits unbelievably well with all my ills and the theory behind it all, what was wrong with me, how all my previous efforts failed, made perfect sense. I started watching one video after another.... Well, I started doing intermittent fasting (18/6, 2 meals a day) and planning my keto shoplist last since friday. Now is tuesday and I'm already 328lb, so it's a 9lb loss for starters. I know it's a LONG, LONG way to go, but I''m excited and it has been actually much easier than previous attempts at dieting. I will carry on, learn more and do more. Wish me luck.

For those who are wondering if they should do this, I can say that my energy levels have already gone sky-high (people seem to think of an obese guy full of energy as odd, but I'm happy nevertheless), and hunger has not gone completely yet, but drastically reduced. IF is not hard at all and the benefits are quick to perceive!

    Dr you just saved my life! I was killing myself and had no idea I was. I'm 32 been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2007 amd never was explained exactly what it was. I was just put on pills that I hated taking. In February my right quadriceps tendon broke my kneecap in half while I was just WALKING and my quadriceps muscle on my left knee tore completely off. I didnt do anything for that to happen. My muscles ache, my left big toe is stiff and my right middle finger is bent. I contemplated suicide because I was suffering so much pain and my body was falling apart. To add insult to injury I have a hemmorage in my left eye, found out my vitamin d level was 8 (dangerously low) and I was hospitalized for having low potassium. I felt like I was dying. While recovering from my knee surgeries I started researching on how to fix myself since my doctors are baffled on my condition and came across your videos. I started implementing what you suggest along with water fasting once a week and my fasting sugars are now under 120, my finger is straightening out, my big toe can bend now, my eye sight is improving and I feel sooooo good! All I can do is cry, Happy tears, because I have a 4 and a 5 year old and was thinking I may not live to see them graduate high school. Thank you so much for your videos! You are beyond awesome! God bless you ❤

I have been a health nut all my life, training with weights since age 15 (subbed for yoga for a few years, now back to weights) but I was getting FAT! I couldn't stand it. I ate "healthy" was contemplating adding more and more exercise (at 47 yrs old, was daunting), then tried IF and shed 25lbs. I also was getting prostatitis and was fearful it could turn into prostate cancer. I truly believe IF alleviated the condition. Thought my story was great until reading this from you. Again, please make a video, I believe there are many people that are pre-diabetic, and have no idea.
      the healthcare industry just treats the symptoms and people are dying.

    I love this video and although I am not doing the keto diet, I did change my eating habits to speed up my metabolism. I went from 207 lbs - 175 using the basic principles he taught in this video. I have not been this weight for 20 years and went from 36 pants down to a 32 slim fit, as well as L and some XL down to Medium shirts. Thank you Dr. Berg because at 54 I am healthier than I was at 34.

    I am so happy to have discovered you. I am pre diabetic and I really eat healthy but I struggle with my weight and everything that you are explaining it truly makes so much sense. I will definitely follow your recommendations plus I will add Apple cider vinegar before meals. And lately I’ve been skipping breakfast and I only have two meals but I was snacking in between with non fat Greek yogurt with berries and that really raises my insulin so I am stopping that. Thank you again for this valuable information.

    I watched this video about 4 years ago, I took action (keto and intermittent fasting) I lost weight, felt great...then I slowly drifted back to carbs and gained all the weight back. I've been struggling to get back up and make it a lifestyle change but I keep failing. So I came back to this video to get the science fixed in my mind and get my mind back to my initial why. I am changing my set point and maintain it this time around.
    2024 UPDATE.
    I failed to stick to keto again, but I finally figured out a better way to lose weight and keep off.
    I now do 16:8 to 18:6 IF and eat a bit of carbs for lunch. I have lost 12kg in about 8 months. I don't feel deprived or Hungry, no cravings, no suffering. If I am hungry in the morning I eat a small low carb meal.

      That’s cuz it isn’t realistic to cut off a whole food group and you will not be able to maintain it forever. We are going to eat a slice of cake or a cookie once in a while. That’s why I just count calories and try to eat healthy foods but I will eat a cookie or a pizza or ice cream when I want to. It’s impossible for me to say I will cut those foods off forever. Otherwise I will end up binging. I just count my calories. Nothing too restrictive.

In fact, I lost 12 pds the first month and continued to do that until I balanced at around 205. I also walked, and I also found that mental clarity. Well, now I'm 51 years old, and I've been in diabetic remission for a solid year and a half. I run and weight train daily. I'm now more athletic than ever before in my life. For my 50th birthday month, I ran 300 km in a Canadian January winter. Ill also note I was never a runner before in my life.. It all spawned from the power of a proper way of living.

    Fix your diet before getting into higher intensity exercise. You can’t fix a bad diet with exercise. Walk before your first meal, and last meal of the day. The weight literally falls off once your body starts fixing insulin resistance. Cut out processed sugars grains and crappy oils. I am 53 and haven’t felt this good in 25 years Joint pain is gone. A1c is now perfect. I was on cusp of getting the prediabetes dx. Dr. Berg may not be a fitness guru, but I respect his knowledge of nutrition and insulin.

    His advice on eating when hungry is so true, people don't realize how long they can go without going hungry, in some parts of words people fast from dawn to dusk (normally 13 hours) and usually don't feel hungry until the last hour. also eating on a schedule is partly responsible for gas and shorten breath and drowsiness. the idea is not to eat when you are starving, just until you are almost about to go hungry. Besides all food taste good when you are hungry.

      I don't agree with that since you can induce that artificially by habit. If you will organize your meals (no matter how many) in the same way for few days, your brain will register that frequency and will "warn" you that he's hungry around those specific hours. Try it and you will see.

      KristinaMonte What the Doctor needs to know and understand that the only way to speed up the metabolism is by building more muscle mass by eating high protein+ low carb and lifting weights, muscle is living tissue and the cells are constantly feeding and consuming calories to stay alive, that is why bodybuilders can eat up to 5,000 calories a day and keep a low body fat, It's as simple as that, muscle eats the fat.

I never feel hungry in the morning and my personal trainer INSISTED that no matter what you got to have breakfast.and also suggested snaking so 5/6 meals! often i was forcing myself to eating. I am now focusing on just 3 meals and i feel much better. THANK YOU SIR.

      Is the body having a low set point? How long has the person dieted? Are there fatty liver issues? Is the person insulin resistant? What about gender or age? Estrogen levels? The doctor is saying that there are cellular issues needing to be addressed, along with food combinations in order for the fat to be burned. If it was that simple and bodybuilding was effective for all, then there would be lean people all over the world.
      The issues are more complex and a person needs to find out what works for them. Giving general blanket advice like this is harmful to people who are insulin resistant with metabolic syndrome issues needing to be addressed.

I'm not 2 weeks in and been eating cleaner and no sugar. I will try to incorporate his strategy by eating 2-3 meals with NO snacking for the next week. In 2 weeks I have lost roughly 10lbs and already feeling more stable energy. Great video...wish me luck!

    • @joannecrack2401
      @joannecrack2401 Před 5 lety +5

      @@_JohnDoe I've been on a ketogenic diet for the past month and on day 28 I had lost 12 lbs. Start weight 162. I'm 5' 5" tall and just turned 57yo. I have been challenged with cancer for almost 15 years. Besides dealing with pain and getting tired easily (chemo does that), one of my main issues is "eating". I was on a feeding tube and then my nutrition was "Boost Plus Calories". I'm sick of all that so have been experimenting with foods and liquefying them. Eg. Mashed potatoes laden with gravy to get it all down. I can boil pasta double time and mash it enough to get it down but add liquid, eg... VH Garlic sauce.... Next thing I knew I was a painful blob sitting in a corner doing nothing with my life. If I went to a 3 hour family function it fried me for 2 days. Just travelling from here to there beat me up. So enough is enough is enough already and I needed to take control of my life and with friends living the ketogenic life style I turned to them and the internet. I've done my homework for the most part. I am eating no more than 20 carbs a day... high fat and watching my protein intake. I do use a macro counter but I don't keep a journal. I want to try to keep it really simple but I also want to be sure. My ONLY concern is, am I taking in enough calories!!! I know that calorie intake is not as important as the "quality" of what I am ingesting and digesting but with that said, my calorie intake are still extremely low in my opinion. I just don't know and cannot find anything on the internet. My "Carb Manager" program suggest I have no more than 1,012 calories a day and then my macros are based on that but I'm only consuming anywhere between 300-700 calories. Is this OK???!!! I don't know yet. So I do 12 hour intermittent fasting all the time. I have "my" POWER COFFEE around 4am (Bullet Proof coffee that I add a home made mixture of particular spices to). I drink 2 about an hour apart... sometimes 3. I drink close to a gallon of water daily. Two or 3 times a day I have a big glass of water and add apple cider vinegar, Himalayan salt and a splash of lemon juice. If you don't like the taste of it just chuck it down and be done with it :-) A few times a week I will add some cayenne pepper to this water mix. I will have green tea in the afternoon and sometimes add ginger or my "spice mix". I've made my own bone broth and sip on that sometimes too - it freezes well in portions so it's quick & convenient too. Then I have my meal between 4-5pm. A meal example for me would be sockey salmon, (I'll have chicken/turkey/sardines/ham and occasionally beef), 2 fried eggs, maybe some cauliflower (I pretend it's mashed potatoes), and spinach. I love fish and spinach!!!! How do I liquefy all this for my individualized diet??? Well I take some bone broth and add the high fiber flax seed meal and it thickens it and I use that for gravy :-) I will also add some sour cream and/or a salsa sauce of sorts. I have nothing but water after my meal. I'm in bed between 8-10pm. All this to say I've NEVER felt better!!!!! That MCT oil (I call it coconut oil on steroids) gives me soooooooooo much energy that I've done my spring cleaning and it's just the beginning of Feb!!!!! I think my cleaning lady has just lost her job :-) I am so full of energy that I sometimes don't know what to do with myself. I don't exercise much but for small walks and I'll "dance" my way around the house. I do the odd squats... I will get into a small exercise routine but I'll never "work out"!! I still do get tired but then I'm a "wired-tired". I can cope with that for the most part. I've been on a kazillion different pain meds over the years without success but just this past fall I discovered an awesome pain remedy and it totally works and I'm so thrilled about that but it costs me min. $150.00 a month out of my pocket that I just can't afford but I will never go back to that pain so I just manage somehow. My specialist told me just this fall that my pain is directly related to my vast radiation and there is nothing they can do (like more surgury). WELL NOW....for the past week now, I have NOT taken this expensive pain med because I'm NOT feeling pain!!! Is it this diet??? Is it something that has naturally happened in my body??? I don't know!!!! I don't care.... I'm not only feeling soooooooooooo waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better with an energy level I haven't had in forever and no severe pain (it was on a scale of 1-10, a continuous flare of 14).... many days were spent in bed!!! Not anymore!! Whooooooooooo hoooooooooooooooo!!!!! I do not have a weight goal. I will know when I feel good about my weight.... I'm thinking around 120lbs or so. I am doing this for a ketogenic life style and the weight loss is just a bonus. With my circumstance as they are I do have to work at ensuring I am getting all the good nutrition I need... potassium, magnesium etc.... so this continues to be a work in progress. I will NOT go out and pay for all these advertised Keto this or Keto that. My friends never had to plus I've heard and read too many stories about them. Like I said, I want to keep it simple and carefree.... low carb & high fat with a proper ratio of protein. Oh and I've fasted once for 48 hours at the beginning of this diet. Today I am choosing to have a "liquid" day. I can't call it a fast because I'm having my POWER COFFEE and that breaks any fast. So that's my story and how I'm working things and so far it's all working for me. My only QUESTION is..... IS say, 500 calories a day OK as long as your macros are in balance??? I'm feeling GREAT after a month with lots of energy and drinking plenty of water and trying to keep up on proper/good nutrition. I REALLY wish I could find something on this. They say eat when you are hungry and I do and they say stop when you are full.... but to get more calories in, by the time I'm done my meal I'm stuffed. I don't want to eat 2-3 meals a day because every time you put something in your mouth it spikes your insulin and I don't want that either. Besides, I'm just not hungry. I'm coming off a 100% Boost diet so I'm used to not "eating". I also have no cravings because I haven't been able to eat chips and cupcakes, donuts etc for years so certainly not an issue. I wish everyone else a great journey on their Keto diet/life style. I sure would love to hear your story an how you are all doing with it and if anyone can help me out with suggestions/ideas and answer my "calorie" issue I'd be very grateful. Cheers all. Joanne

    My set point for the last 36 years has been 152 pounds, this was the weight I reached during pregnancy. I have always felt very comfortable with it but always knew that I was overweight. Believe me I have tried every diet in the world and it always crept back to 152. Thank you Dr. Eric for now I am in control and I will achieve my ideal weight of 125. So far I have lost 15 pounds in four weeks and I have never ever felt better. I am already fasting😊. And believe it or not since I work in the travel industry I don’t have to travel with snacks or drinks or a freaking candy bar in my purse anymore I can go around the world and not eat for a while. For me that is a blessing and no stress while working. What a huge relief. And, those two guys I had that caused my set point: are on Keto also.

And the whole time, even though I was never doing keto/IF PERFECTLY, I still lost weight. Just because I switched my mindset from EXERCISE/COUNT CALORIES to *just watch your blood sugar*

    bruno very proud of you. im starting my journey today. All these fads on diets got old and didnt work, i had to stop and look at myself and not be like everyone else. I had to start loving myself first and not worry about what society says. Society tells us how we should look and feel--- no way!!!! There are reasons why we all are different and look different. People are overweight because of issues we dont know about- i could be heredity etc... Same as those that are underweight. So when society puts these pictures in our minds that we need to look like this to be accepted, its a bunch of crap. Learning to love yourself is not easy believe me i know, but once u start to like the little pieces of you and surround yourself with likeminded people it becomes easier. I didnt know half of my problem until Dr. Berg made it easy to understand. Thats what was missing- someone taking the time to really make it simple and easy to enjoy the lecture- instead of crammimg it down.. Its gonna be a journey but im with each and everyone of you who are struggling... WE GOT THIS!!!!!!!
