hey guys dr. Berg here listen I had a recent  question that related to can a woman control  

where fat burning occurs because they had  heavier hips but when they started doing the  

program they lost mainly the upper part of the  body first so I’m going to talk about why that  

is unfortunately the body will go after the inter  intra-abdominal fat first that’s the visceral fat  

around the midsection okay before you get to the  lower section then it’ll work on the subcutaneous  

fat in the upper part of the body and lastly  the lower part of the body the hips and the  

thighs now one little point about the hips and  the thighs about 50% of that is usually from my  

observation more of an atrophy situation not all  fat so when you start losing you’re going to have  

to start building the muscle underneath the fat  okay because atrophy is a loss of muscle tissue  

now just by doing the in a minute fasting and the  ketosis you’re going to improve your muscle you’re  

going to salvage that but you’re going to have to  do something to get a lot of blood flow going in  

the areas that you need to tone because that will  bring in more hormonal health so we want to handle  

the atrophy I’ve actually put a video down below  of that three videos and atrophy you can check  

that out okay so when you exercise to improve the  atrophy and you work that muscle you want to do a  

combination of high intensity interval training  okay to stimulate growth hormone but you also  

want to work on specific body parts you want to  do you probably want to get a personal trainer  

or someone that has some knowledge to really work  out the entire body especially the areas that you  

want to work on mainly for the muscle development  and the contouring and the tightening the other  

point I want to bring up about that is you want  to make sure that you don’t over train or else  

you’re not going to get anyone anywhere I had a  gal who came in the office she lifted three and  

a half million pounds over a course of a year  and lost two pounds okay so she’s working out  

massive weights over training okay over training  so I put her on a completely different workout of  

like once or twice week she started losing so  started getting improvement so you really want  

to make sure your sleep is good you want to make  sure that your recovery is really good and maybe  

twice a week would be perfect give yourself time  to recover very vital about 85% of the improvement  

in both men and women will come from your diet  so that diet has to be really squeaky clean and a  

combination of keto and intermittent fasting for  those of you that have never seen those videos  

I’ve put some links down below and 15 percent  of it is actual exercise so if you think you’re  

going to just do an exercise without the diet  good luck it’s not going to happen especially  

if you’re over the age of 30 or 40 or 50 and then  we’ve come to this thing called estrogen estrogen  

dominance a lot of women that have heavy cycles  or hot flashes or have weight in the lower part  

of the body are estrogen dominant okay I put  some links down below of what to do if that’s  

your situation but that could inhibit your weight  loss simply because estrogen puts the fat on the  

lower part of your body so you’re going to have  to also really make sure that you don’t consume  

any hidden estrogens and you food that mimics  estrogens especially the soy so you’re going to  

do more organic things like that the other thing  is that during menopause the relative ratio of  

estrogen will will be higher than progesterone  because the progesterone just crashes so you  

had this ratio of now now you end up with like  heavy estrogen low progesterone in that  

situation again you’re going to have to consume  foods that are anti estrogenic simply because  

that could be the reason why you’re heavy in the  lower part so kale brussel sprouts broccoli all  

that is really important to help balance estrogen  there’s some other things as well I’ll put it down  

below but the point is that unfortunately  you can’t necessarily target the lower part  

of your body with weight loss right off the bat  it’s going to take some time now the estimation  

of effort is probably going to be more than you  think if you’re frustrated you’re at the gym and  

you try new things and you’re not seeing anything  with your thighs or but honestly you may have to  

wait six to eight months to see some significant  change okay sometimes up to a year or more why  

just because the body sometimes has been broken  down so much it takes a while to repair because  

it’s all about getting healthy first then lose  weight the thing that you want to look at is  

are you losing inches in your stomach are you  feeling better are you sleeping better is your  

stress sounds better hang with it keep going it’s  eventually going to come off and then with the  

other things with exercise you eventually tone  the lower part as well this is just based on  

observation alright thanks for watching hi  guys hey listen I created a pretty amazing  

evaluation quiz down below that actually analyzes  your symptoms to find the cause the root cause of  

all of your symptoms the most likely cause so  take the quiz now and we’ll send you a report
