hi guys dr. Berg here listen I wanted to

answer a question will fasting slow your

metabolism okay I’m not talking about in

a minute fasting talking about actual

fasting doing a period of time now some

people fast for religious reasons some

people fast for weight loss some people

fast for health benefits so regardless

of your reason we just want to look at

two main variables one is what it’s been

your history your past history of your

diet do you have a strong nutritional

reserve have you been eating good over

the years or not

do you have insulin resistance all these

factors are going to set you up to have

easy nutritional deficiencies as soon as

you start this fast but if you’ve been

consuming good foods over a period of

time you have enough stored fat fiber

vitamins let’s say in your liver like

vitamin A and vitamin D and vitamin E

and vitamin k2 and all the vitamins like

b12 to be able to to use when needed

over a period of time when you’re not

eating but if you have a deficiency in

those already going like a subclinical

deficiency and then you go in a fast

it’s all going to be magnified the first

system in your body to be affected when

you do fasting would be the endocrine

system so you’re going to if you start

seeing signs of hair loss problems with

vision blood sugars and general overall

a weakness then we know the endocrine

system needs some support there and then

also the thyroid a lot of people that go

on fast over a long period of time and

they’re doing it too frequently they end

up really slowing their metabolism down

so we just want to look at what is your

been in your past history do you have

enough reserve left to be able to do

this and number two are you when you’re

eating are you consuming enough

nutrient-dense foods when your actual

eating okay

you have the fat soluble vitamins water

soluble vitamins all the B vitamins

vitamin C those are those are needed

like almost every day so you have to

have somewhat of a reserve now then you

have trace minerals are you consuming

any type of sea vegetables or seafood

seaweed things like that because that

would give you your iodine your selenium

your manganese all those little minerals

needed in smaller amounts and then you

have essential fatty acids if you’re on

a low-fat diet that could create a

problem if you’re fasting because all

these essential fats are needed for

cellular membranes for the nervous

system for the brain for the heart so

you need these healthy fats and then you

have amino acids that’s all your

proteins okay so if you’re a diabetic or

you’re pre-diabetic and you go on a

long-term fast you may end up with a lot

of problems with your muscles atrophy

loss of muscle hair loss skin issues

that type of thing so you just want to

make sure and I’m talking about like a

fast that goes along ger than four or

five days so if you’re doing anything

shorter than that it should be okay but

longer faster not good that that’s why I

recommend in a minute fasting for 99% of

the population because unless you know

your body is really healthy

adding fasting could create some issues

so you have to be pretty healthy too

fast but then fasting does get you

healthy too so start out on a gradual

intake started with intermittent fasting

and three meals without snacks and then

two meals without snacks and then maybe

even one meal without snacks and then

graduate two more fasting if you really

want to do that all right so thanks for

watching and give me your comments below
