hey dr. Berg here in this video we’re going to talk about fat burning 101 some

of the basics this is very very important

another principle so when we’re dealing with fat burning we’re really dealing

with hormones and it’s there’s three hormones and this hormone is called

cortisol cortisol is your stress hormone okay so we have the stress hormone these

are fat burning hormones and these are fat making hormones okay so we got three

fat making six fat burning hormones and you need to know about both because it’s

not just about burning fat it’s about preventing these from working so

cortisol if the cortisol is too high and that comes from stress and by the way

nowadays compared to you know way back in the past probably the stress level is

a lot different but we’re more sedentary we have a lot more mental stress and

we’re not able to physically go out there and extract it so if you’re being

chased by a tiger at least you’re running away from the tiger versus

you’re sitting behind a computer and you’re under you know financial stress

your personal stress and you’re not able to get that stress out so it’s all I

think it’s worse nowadays than before and cortisol is a dominating hormone it

will nullify all six fat burning hormones if it’s too high and this is

why stress is a different thing than just changing your diet if you’re on a

diet and it’s not working and you assume that you know you’re missing something

from your diet or maybe you’re eating the wrong foods it could be that you’re

eating the right foods you just have too much cortisol okay because you’re your

body’s accumulated stress and you’re menopausal and that needs to be dealt

with I basically use a technique called acupressure to pull the stress out

because it’s a hands-on manipulation to do that or you can do the do-it-yourself

version but what I do is I extract it and you’ll find that the person can

finally relax and sleep and be very quiet on the inside now number two

there’s another hormone called insulin

now insulin is triggered by sugar in the presence of insulin these are going to

be nullified okay insulin is the hormone that regulates blood sugars it lowers

sugar in the blood by converting everything to fat trigger trigger is

insulin okay number three estrogen how do we know if the estrogens high is your

period heavy do you have fibroids you have heavy cramping periods anything

related to a worsening of the mental cycle could mean that you have too much

estrogen estrogen is in the food supply growth hormones it’s in hormone

replacement therapies and birth control pills soy triggers estrogen especially a

lot of these diets or prepackaged food like ideal protein all that is estrogen

and that could aggravate this and stop your ability to burn fat okay now if

your metabolism is low if you’re over the age of 40 and it’s not high this

really comes into play a lot more in that you would have to bring this down

so close to normal that even tiny amounts of this this or this can

completely wipe out any of your good works so let me just give you an example

all it would take is 80 calories of a carbohydrate a half a glass of wine a

bagel a doughnut a cookie you can walk this off in a mile but the insolent

effect with fat burning is close to 70 48 to 72 hours of no fat burning

yeah so this explains why you can’t get away with even moderate amounts of

everything with this one you have to have it down to like near zero so you

can’t do any sugar so people that eat a really good diet and have a little bit

here and there it’s not good enough that’s why it’s not working because the

metabolism you have to be very extreme with this one and this one as well this

one isn’t too bad but it’s still an issue but it’s it’s less of an issue

it’s the stress in the sugar that really makes it very difficult to tap in the

fat all right and then how do you know if you’re you’re not burning fat well if

you’re craving sweets also if you’re not sleeping that good if you’re fatigued

you’re not burning fat so if you’re craving sweets and you’re stressed and

you’re not sleeping and you’re tired you’re not burning fat you’re burning

sugar okay so I just wanted to give you this video just to impress upon you this

is to us the importance of keeping these two down to as low as possible and so if

you’re trying to lose weight I would put way more attention on to avoid these

then to try to trigger these I’ll see you in the next video
