so i get this question periodically you know  i’m losing five pounds in a month is that normal  

um well it depends but most people would say  it’s not normal you should be losing a lot more  

and especially if you compare yourself to your  spouse or a friend that’s losing a lot more you’re  

like wow it’s not working right when you evaluate  anything you you’re always comparing two things  

okay you’re comparing what’s normal and what’s  going on with you to find out what’s going on  

and it’s very very important for you to know what  is normal okay how much fat can a person burn per  

week in an ideal situation with a good metabolism  well that data is two pounds two pounds of fat per  

week that’s like the best case scenario now i’m  not talking about when you’re fasting if you were  

to fast for a week you would lose probably about  three and a half a little bit more pounds per week  

so in a month that comes out to eight pounds right  so if you’re losing five pounds you’re like okay  

what’s wrong this is not normal i should be losing  two pounds like dr berg said yeah i said that but  

i also said that’s the ideal situation for someone  with a healthy fast metabolism you might have a  

slow metabolism in which case you may only lose  one pound per week so what is normal for a person  

with a slow metabolism it’s actually a half a  pound a week to one pound of fat loss per week  

so four pounds of fat loss per month is  not bad for someone with a slow metabolism  

it could be even two pounds now let’s say for  example you drink alcohol maybe on the weekends  

maybe you drank four times this month okay  there’s some other information you need to know  

and that is this all it takes is a tiny amount  of carbohydrate to block fat burning for a good  

amount of time for two to three days because  you just knocked yourself out of ketosis okay  

it’s important to know this that’s normal so when  you’re evaluating that could be the reason because  

if you take that those lost 8 to 12 days of fat  burning away from that month now that changes  

everything okay if you had a healthy metabolism  and you lost 2 pounds a week times 3 that’s six  

pounds and you might think that’s abnormal when  in fact that is normal based on what you did  

so there are various things that you need to know  um to have the correct conclusions and to not be  

so frustrated if you’re not sleeping another  big factor because when you’re not sleeping  

it’s almost like you’re eating sugar because it  affects your blood sugars it increases cortisol  

same thing with stress stress is like eating  candy because it can release sugar from the body  

so these are all disfactors to look at so you’re  not so frustrated so you know what normal is so  

you stick to it and you don’t give up when it’s  actually working that would be devastating there’s  

always something you can do to improve things you  can fast longer if you’re at two meals a day go  

to one meal a day if you’re at one meal a day and  you’re not hungry just go to once every other day  

but fasting is a very powerful way to improve  insulin resistance to improve your metabolism  

and to speed things up and i’m not just talking  about just not eating losing weight i’m talking
