hey dr. Berg here in this short video

we’re going to talk about the problems

with high-protein diets now protein does

trigger the fat burning process which is

good but if your liver is toxic or weak

or it’s damaged you’re not going to be

able to handle all that heavy protein so

in other words protein is hard on your

liver and when that waste builds up and

you can’t detoxify it it can kind of

make you feel kind of cause bad breath

it can clog up you know the lymphatic

system and it can back up because what’s

happening is protein does trigger the

fat burning process but all that fat has

to go through the liver so you end up

with more of a fatty liver yeah so the

other problem with high protein diet it

doesn’t provide all of the nutrition in

other words vegetables provide the

vitamins and minerals protein provides

the amino acids and some of the

essential fatty acids okay so it doesn’t

provide vitamins and minerals so what

does that mean it means that you’re

going to you can create deficiencies

specifically in potassium and calcium so

potassium is very very very important in

heart rate in balancing out the blood

sugars in storing sugar in your liver

and counteracting the counteracting the

heavy protein in the body so we need

potassium and a lot of different

chemical processes in the body and

potassium mainly comes from vegetables

right so and then calcium tube so high

protein diets can deplete your body of

this mineral calcium not to mention

certain if they’re deficient in a lot of

vitamins so you start becoming out of

balance in that situation so I recommend

if you’re in a high protein diet consume

a lot of vegetables to kind of balance

out all that waste the problem that you

might be told is that you don’t want to

consume any carbohydrates because that’s

going to slow down the fat burning

process and vegetables are carbohydrates

but I guarantee if you’re eating spinach

or kale or salad or celery those are not

the carbohydrates that are going to

affect your your fat burning’ because

they’re very low in sugar extreme like

almost zero and sugar so they’re very

bitter so it’s not going to be a problem

of course if you have grains or fruit

that will be a problem but if you

consume a lot of vegetables with the

high protein or and I’m not even like to

like to say high protein because if you

do too much protein like more than like

eight ounces or nine ounces or ten

ounces and your liver is not good or

you’re a little bit older all that’s

going to be connect stir is going to be

converted to fat okay because that’s one

of the triggers of fat making hormones

so if you have a smaller amount that

would be good especially in the liver so

I recommend anything anywhere between

three to four ounces and of course

you’re going to hear conflicting

information you’re going to hear that

all our bodies need so much per per

pound like we needed like a hundred

grams of protein a day whatever well I

don’t know who came up with those

figures but you have to be very healthy

to handle that all that protein every

decade you age the more difficult it is

to digest that protein and people do

better with just a little bit of protein

and not a tremendous amount we’re not

losing all this protein through I mean

like we don’t shed muscle protein like

50 grams of muscle protein every day we

don’t shed the protein in our body that

much it goes right through us so it’s

not that we’re losing protein that we

have to replace it

so we don’t need as much as you might

think okay so these are the two keys

with protein diets and below I a little

nutritional quiz that you can take it’s

an online analysis that you can find out

just clicking you add in your foods just

click the foods that you eat and then it

will print out if you’re getting all the

nutrition from the diet that you’re

currently eating and then it will give

you a graph on what you should eat to

fulfill the nutrient requirements

you need and I spent personally over my

own with my own money about $150,000 to

create this quiz and it’s free to the

public just to take and to get

information what you’re going to realize

when you take it is you’re going to find

out where your weaknesses are so you can

start to focus on that so I hope you

enjoyed that quiz and I hope you enjoy

the video and I will see you in the next
