hi guys dr. Berg here in this video I want  to talk about will doing a high fat ketogenic  

diet clog your arteries now just from the  pure observation of eating more fat and a  

fatty clogged artery it sounds logical that if  you were to eat more fat you’re going to get  

a clogged artery okay it sounds logical that  you would eat more fat and then get more fat  

in your body right but it’s not how it works in  the body because in the body there are various  

hormones that tell certain types of calories what  to convert into and the hormone that tells the  

body whether to clog the artery or clean out  the artery really is called insulin so insulin  

is like the switch that converts that into the  body of storage and also clogs arteries insulin  

is a very inflammatory hormone if you have too  much of it you can have a lot more inflammation  

which can set you up for a whole series of events  from the body start healing the inflammation or  

the lesion in the arteries with a combination  of cholesterol the band-aid calcium and fibrous  

fibrin which is a kind of a connective tissue  to form a little bit of a clot so really what  

would started that would be the high levels of  insulin not necessarily consuming cholesterol  

now cholesterol is made by every almost every  single cell in the body your body makes about  

3,000 milligrams of cholesterol every single day  the 3,000 milligrams of cholesterol is equal to  

300 strips of bacon it’s equal to about a pound of  butter it’s equal to 14 eggs so your body makes a  

lot of cholesterol okay so when you consume more  fat your body just makes more less yeah that’s  

how it works what really creates this clogged  artery is high levels of insulin by consuming  

too many couple right so if you were to cut your  carbohydrates down like the breads pasta cereal  

crackers things like that and sugar if you were  to cut that down you would notice your cholesterol  

would go way down also your triglycerides would go  way down your back cholesterol will go down but if  

you were to increase the sugar and the insulin  and your cholesterol goes up and you should  

even experiment with yourself to see if this is  true for you but what I wanted to give you is I  

have a little mini course that’s very quick you  could probably get it done in maybe 20 minutes  

on ketosis to give you the basics I show you how  it works what to eat the tweaks that I’m going to  

recommend and the side effects it’s a very short  little mini course I put a link down below so if  

you’re not familiar with ketosis you can take the  course it’s free and get it done within 20 minutes  

and really have a better understanding of it so  check that out and thank you so much for watching
