 benefits which I get into in other videos okay so keto basically means you're burning fat okay healthy keto is a version of regular ketosis but with a twist a principle that I use is you don't lose weight and get healthy you have to get healthy first to then lose weight so getting healthy basically means in relationship to eating providing all of your nutrients okay so you're eating foods that are high-quality that provide all the nutrients so you get the requirements that our bodies need so what I recommend is

 something called healthy ketosis all right so that's the version the other action that I recommend is something called IF what is that that's intermittent fasting what is that that is a it's not a diet it's a pattern of eating and not eating so instead of doing three meals or six meals a day or snacks in between the meals you're eating less frequently why because every time you eat you raise a hormone insulin too much insulin is very dangerous in the body so what we're trying to do with healthy ketosis and

The Power of Intermittent Fasting and Fat Burning in Dr. Berg's Keto Plan

 intermittent fasting is reduce the excess of insulin we're not trying to make it down to zero we're just trying to get rid of the excess the vast majority of the population has excess insulin but they've never been tested the doctors usually don't test it they're focusing on your blood sugars or blood glucose but not fasting insulin okay I have videos on that but just oh you can watch another video but the point is that we're trying to lower insulin so to do that you need to eat less frequently let's say you start with

 three meals per day with no snacks and then you go to two meals a day no snacks and that would be considered intermittent fasting and some people do one meal a day but the point is that it's just eating less frequent it's not necessarily focused on lowering calories even though you will be consuming less

 calories that focus is not on calories it's about eating less frequently at the end of the day we want to provide all the nutrients so we need a certain amount of calories the cool thing about intermittent fasting is that because you're eating less frequent the requirements from nutrients go down because the body starts being conservative with its nutrients it starts holding or retaining more nutrients so what you would need for three meals a day okay as far as nutrients you would need less nutrients for two meals a day just because the body adapts sometimes people are concerned about losing muscle mass well the other cool thing is that when you're doing intermittent fasting certain hormones like growth hormone

 increases dramatically to protect the muscles from being lost okay so your body tends to now conserve protein as well when you do intermittent fasting so you're not going to lose muscle mass so the two main things that help you lower insulin are the reduction of carbohydrates I'm talking about the sugar refined carbs the grains the pasta the cereal the biscuits the waffles the juice the alcohol I have a lot of videos on this right here like a ton but that just kind of gives you the summary and also number two eating less frequently what we're doing when we actually drop carbs and we eat less frequently is where adapting to fat-burning you're actually making a new cellular machinery to run your body on fat fuel

 okay and no longer on sugar now what happens when you consume too many carbs the insulin comes in and takes it out and converts it to fat so a lot of the fat on your body right now has come from the carbohydrates not necessarily the fat that you ate but the carbohydrates that you ate the other thing that people don't realize is this in the presence of too much insulin you can't lose this fat so if you have a stubborn metabolism and you can't lose weight we know you have too much insulin is there a quick test to know if you have too much insulin yes just look down right now and if you could see your belly you have too much insulin because these are the main symptoms of high insulin belly fat high blood
