hi dr berg here in this video i want to

i want to show you what’s behind all

these diets i have pretty much every

diet book on the planet this is a list

this is the stack all goes all the way

down and i have another warehouse or a

library filled with these books and i’ve

studied these extensively and this is

what i found they’re very incomplete

they work when you’re on them they don’t

work when you stop and you gain the

weight back now in your 20s

chances are you can pretty much do any

diet and lose weight but as you age

something happens 30s 40s 50s

something shifts and what shifts is your

hormones so the hormones start going

lower and lower lower and you actually

have hormones that burn fat okay there’s

six of them

that burn fat and you have three of them

that

make

fat

all right

now

let’s just take the evolution of a diet

it start out

low fat

okay just in the assumption that if you

actually ate less fat you would be less

fat right makes logical sense but it

didn’t work like that especially

relationship

between these hormones because fat is

neutral it doesn’t increase these or it

doesn’t decrease it does no has no

effect on this the effect it does have

is it messes with your liver so if you

have too much fat it blocks liver bits

then would block the ability to burn fat

because all the fat goes through the

liver so but a small amount of fat is

totally fine butter is totally fine but

just don’t do the deep fried catfish now

i wanted to gain weight in high school

so i started eating more fat thinking i

would gain more weight but i started

losing more weight

so

the point is that fat is neutral okay

and they found that it didn’t really

work low fat diets don’t really work

and then the next step was the low

calorie diet

okay the problem with low calories is it

actually creates a little bit of a

starvation in your body and one of the

fat making hormones is a stress hormone

called cortisol the belly fat hormone so

low diets actually increase belly fat

and they starve you of the nutrients

they create nutritional deficiencies

because you’re cutting the calories and

you’re cutting the nutrients you see the

problem so cal low calorie diets

might work when you’re 20 but not when

you get older in fact they ruin your

metabolism and some of you already know

that you’ve already done that and

because your body adapts the hormones

compensate

i developed a program

several years ago

i spent 150 000 to create this software

to do this one thing

and that is to evaluate diets and foods

based on nutrients i wanted to know what

diets have the most nutrients and

you can fill it out and find out what

what you ate and then it’ll evaluate

compare what you should eat

uh to get your nutrients versus what

you’re eating now and it it grafts all

these things and i found that most

people are not even close to getting

their basic nutrients and which are the

rdas you can go to the usda website and

look up rdas which is basically the

basic requirement of nutrients that you

need to eat every single day and

the top three diets on the planet jenny

craig weight watchers and nutrisystem

all have very low

nutrients which is shocking because

those diets are very popular but i find

a lot of people um don’t do well with

them because

they don’t they you crave you crave so

many foods and some of the prepackaged

foods

um

have a lot of cheap soy in them and soy

increases one of the fat making hormones

called estrogen

so again we’re actually contributing to

more problems with the hormones because

cellulite is made from estrogen all

right so we have a problem with that and

then we went to the high

protein diets right the actin diet and

now that’s the first

the start of trying to influence the

hormones because it does influence one

of the fat burning hormones called

glucagon the problem is that it only

stimulates one what about the other five

okay they’re ignored

and the thing is too is if you actually

eat too much protein it can increase

insulin so there’s a lot of other

information about this that’s incomplete

so high protein diets may work if your

liver is really really healthy but it’s

not a long-term solution because who’s

going to eat what about the other

other parts of the other foods that

you’re supposed to eat because

our whole philosophy is to get healthy

and at the heart of getting healthy is

nutrients in the calories in the food

well

protein has some that has amino acids

but it doesn’t have a lot of vitamins

and minerals so you’re going to end up

creating deficiencies on this over a

period of time i had a lady she lost her

hair after she did a high protein diet

and she was wearing a wig and the

problem is she was getting married and

her future husband had no idea she was

completely bald and by the way we did

help her so now the fourth diet and the

current diet that’s being promoted now

is called the

low carb diet now low carbs basically uh

do influence hormones uh you’re

decreasing insulin okay so that’s good

but again very incomplete because it’s

only affecting one of the fat burning or

the one the fat making hormones it

decreases insulin and then it cause your

body to burn fat but the challenge is

is this there’s more to the story let’s

say you had just you ate perfect for

breakfast okay and then lunch you ate a

great meal you’ve exercised perfectly

and then for dinner you ate great and

then right before bed you had one ounce

of the wrong thing

one ounce of carb will actually

completely and utterly nullify and

cancel out every single one of those fat

burning hormones that are triggered by

those foods you ate just previously

and that’s why this whole concept of

everything in moderation doesn’t work or

um

you know portion control doesn’t work

with this

i mean you look at some of the foods

that these people are recommending these

diets it’s a total scam because they’re

they says oh yeah you can have anything

you want just a smaller amount it’s low

glycemic it’s it’s too much sugar it’s

too much carbohydrate to really lose

weight especially if you get into your

30s 40s and 50s

i’m telling you the only time it works

is probably if you’re very very young

because

just because your metabolism is that

much better and the hormones are that

much better

so low low carb diets have some

workability but

what you want to do is you want to

influence all of the hormones i wrote a

book okay seven principles of fat

burning

this is not a diet book this is an

educational book and most of you already

have it if you already have it i want

you to study chapter nine

i go through all the triggers because

here’s the thing we want you to be able

to differentiate what’s going to work

what’s not going to work based on your

knowledge your lifestyle changes

lifestyle change involves an educational

step so you want to be able to look at

foods and know in advance if it’s going

to work based on these principles of the

hormones that’s why i wrote a principle

book because unless you’re educated

you’re susceptible to the wrong thing

over and over and over again and it’s

amazing how many people they’ll go for

the b12 shots or they’ll go to the

fentany which is a

a booster

well i’ll tell you one thing the older

you get the more burnt out your hormones

are the more burnt out your metabolism

is and the more you do those stimulus

you’re just going to destroy your

metabolism even more

a lot of the exercise programs on tv for

example are really good again if you’re

younger but as you get older they’re

basically going to over train you

because they’re not looking at the

recovery too

so

i’m just here to tell you that you can

lose the weight but by doing it

correctly you have to understand this

and you have to focus

on

the hormones

so thank you very much and i will see

you in the next video
