hello hey listen I had another question

from someone that wanted to know why

they weren’t losing weight in the lower

half of their body and they’re on keto

and they’re doing it in a fasting and

it’s working but the lower part of the

body the legs the thighs the butt

not much happening okay let’s just talk

about that well when you’re doing keto

and intermittent fasting you’re

basically targeting insulin you’re

lowering insulin you’re fixing insulin

resistance which primarily has to do

with all the fat in the belly so you

should be seeing some weight in your

midsection and if you’re not just

continue to do it and it’s going to

happen

but there’s going to be a point where

you plateau with your weight because the

density of the muscle to fat ratio is

going to change in other words you’re

going to get more muscle and you’re

gonna get less fat so you just want to

continue to do that over time and muscle

weighs more so those scales gonna stop

but you’ll start to shrink but typically

what’s gonna happen you’re gonna lose

from the top going down but keto and

intermittent fasting is only gonna take

you so far you’re gonna have to add

exercise into this formula why because

an average person in the 40s 50s and 60s

is dealing with a high fat to low muscle

ratio the composition of muscle is very

very fatty okay so to be able to handle

that you’re gonna have to do some type

of exercise program that really targets

the muscles and the lower extremities

the glutes the thighs the hamstrings and

not just jogging in the treadmill but

actually doing all sorts of things

plyometrics hopping slamball with

squatting leg exercises all those things

so basically you’re on a muscle building

plan over time so then the question

comes how long does it take to see

results well it could take a while

because it’s very gradual and if you’re

looking at yourself everyday you might

not see a lot of change so that’s why I

highly recommend you measure yourself

measure your hips measure your thighs

and start really looking at the inches

because if you look at your body it’s so

gradual you might get discouraged but

overall you’re s

nation needs to be a lot longer than

what you think in other words it could

take two or even three years to get to

your goal it’s not going to happen in

months especially if you have an

exercise for many years okay so I’m just

pointing it out because if you don’t

know that going into this you might get

frustrated and stop and go back to the

carbs but what you really want to do is

just stay with it and realize that what

you’re dealing with is a much greater

problem of atrophied muscles then maybe

you thought all right hang in there keep

doing it it’s going to happen

hey guys I wanted to personally invite

you to a new Facebook group that I just

started called dr. Berg’s Quito and in a

minute fasting lab okay

so I created this so we can share our

successful actions what worked what

didn’t work the results so I put a link

down below so go ahead and sign up and

I’ll see you inside
