so in this video I want to talk about

why getting on a fatty ketogenic diet

can actually help reduce fat on your

liver now this sounds counterintuitive

because you would think I’m consuming

fat it’s going to fill up my liver with

fat but what makes the ketogenic diet

successful and I’m talking about causing

a conversion from the fat on your body

to ketones which occur in the liver is

the reduction of carbs for this to work

you must reduce your carbs in fact

you’re not gonna be able to make ketones

without without reducing your

carbohydrates a lot of times when you

see research on a high-fat diet which is

no definition those studies are actually

doing high fat high carb diets so you

must reduce the carbs to get the person

to burn ketones and the liver is the

organ to do that and when ketones are

produced guess what happens you

automatically stop storing fat you stop

dumping fat in the liver okay when

you’re actually on a high carb diet the

body is going to store glucose in the

liver especially fructose and one really

important point about this is that the

liver is the first area to show a

reduction of fat so when you start a

ketogenic diet and you don’t notice a

reduction in your midsection what you

have to realize is that your body is

using up the liver fat first before it’s

going to be using the visceral fat in

your belly so don’t be discouraged just

realize it’s gonna take time especially

if you have a lot of fat on your liver

and if you have a large stomach you

definitely have a lot of fat in your

liver and what you need to know is that

you can actually burn up a hundred grams

of fat per day doing ketosis the point

is that you just need to give it some

time for it to really work and realize

if you’re not seeing a lot of reduction

in your midsection it could be you have

a lot of fat on your liver that the body

is focusing on first bottom line is you

can have significant fat reduction in

your liver as well as a decrease in

liver enzyme

by doing the ketogenic diet real simply

I would recommend three things one is

getting the healthy version of the

ketogenic diet

this also means consuming more

vegetables because you want that fiber

to feed the microbes so the microbes can

actually recycle more bile and the bile

helps with the elimination of the excess

fat through the gallbladder so that’s an

important point also in a minute fasting

will greatly speed things up when you do

intermittent fasting you are stimulating

the production of ketones to a very high

level so the combination of low carb and

in a minute fasting ism is vital people

can develop a fatty liver just from

being deficient in this one nutrient

choline and it’s very ironic that most

the foods that are high in choline are

fatty foods high in cholesterol fact the

food that has the most choline is shrimp

consuming shrimp and eggs for example

can give you enough choline to prevent

against a fatty liver it’s wild and then

you have liver and peanuts meats

scallops fish and leafy greens leafy

greens and vegetables believe it or not

have the lowest amount of choline and

you can even take choline in a powder or

supplement it’s Lippo trophic it

dissolves fat on your liver to speed up

the process alright thanks for watching
