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
