hey guys dr. Berg here in this video I

want to shed some light on this myth

called to eat less and lose weight myth

all right first of all it’s been totally

proven that this does not work ok what

happens when you reduce your calories

your body will automatically compensate

by slowing the metabolism down ok it may

work the first time you do it but the

more you do it over and over and over

and over it works less and less less to

the point where it won’t work at all

okay so you’ll shut down your what’s

called a set point so let’s say you’re

about 185 and you’re just plateaued you

will not be able to get lower than that

if you try to go lower than that your

body is going to crave like crazy and be

really hungry and then it will slow down

the metallicy even more ok so

dieting in general slows your metabolism

secondly we’re gonna talk about weight

loss versus fat loss sometimes you read

these books that say you can lose 15

pounds of actual fat in two weeks that

is a lie you can’t lose it’s it’s

impossible to lose more than two pounds

of fat per week if anyone says you can

lose more than that they’re lying to you

ok you can’t it’s two pounds but if

you’re interested in water weight you

can lose 10 pounds in a week of water

weight but not more than two ok of

actual fat it’s real easy to lose water

weight

ok just cut out the carbs and you need

high potassium foods

okay that’s vegetables boom you’ll lose

water weight but if you’re interested in

fat loss that’s a whole different thing

ok so the maximum of two pounds of fat

per week is that’s what a healthy

metabolism if you have an unhealthy

metabolism and you’re losing one pound

of fat per week that’s not bad okay it’s

not bad so if you understand that at

least maybe you won’t be as frustrated

going into this because sometimes your

expectation is a little bit more than

what’s real ok I want I don’t want to

set you up for a loss if you can lose 1

pound

of actual fat per week I think you

should be happy with that if it’s

consistent and you can stay at that over

a period of time now there is no such

thing oh yeah there are things that you

read on internet like one person was

saying there’s no such thing as bad food

it’s just calories too many calories you

know there is such thing as bad food

probably the people that are telling you

that are the people that are making

sodas and doughnuts and they’re saying

there’s no such thing as bad junk food

just eat it in moderation that is

another myth there are bad foods

now if we want to lose fat we want to

study the fat cell itself and understand

this little fat cell if you cut calories

you do not have a dramatic effect on the

fat cell if you cut sugar you’ll cut

insulin that you will have an effect on

the fat cell so the fat cell is

regulated by insulin if you lower

insulin by cutting sugar out you will

lose weight okay so we want to starve

your body not of calories but of the

sugar to drop the insulin which forces

your body to burn fat and there’s other

a lot of other data on too on fat

metabolism in some of my other videos

but the point is that if you eat less it

doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re

going to lose weight

any any long term type thing okay so

just to summarize you need to lower

insulin by lowering sugar to be able to

really tap into the fat and there’s a

lot more information on the fat cell and

what to do and how to lose more fat in

some of the other videos I hope this

helped and I will see in the next video
