How to Lose Belly Fat as a Vegan - Dr. Berg

Do You Have Any Ideas For a Video: bit.ly/2R2NgYh
Dr. Berg demonstrates the best way for a vegan to get into fat-burning correctly. This is based on the insulin index, which involves several actions of eating fewer meals and keeping insulin low. Reducing your sugars can then put you into ketosis (ketogenic diet).

Been rocking this diet for over a month and it is doing miracles. Getting over the first couple weeks was hard, but once you fat adapt, it is so worth it. I am 50 yr female. Been a vegan for 6 years...but was overeating due to lack of fats, too much fruit, After only 33 days of keto I have almost totally healed my plantar fasciitis (which kept me from exercising), my blood pressure is way better....I have to make sure I have veggie broth just to get my sodium or it drops too low! My sleep is great, my digestion is way better, my energy levels are improved and my favorite part is how clear minded I am becoming. I used to overthink everything and now I have a more orderly (made my adult ADD disappear!) way of thinking. I am still fine tuning everything, but I have so much drive and focus that it is incredible. Thank you, Dr. Berg! I can't wait to see where I am at 6 months. OH and even though I didn't do this for weight loss, I have lost 15 pounds (around 8 water) and several inches.

[@oolala53]

It is the nature of most people to have a bias and those promoting any idea are going to have them, too. Then they will tend to see the evidence that supports their bias and vice versa. Sometimes evidence will get them to change their minds, but once they do, the new bias will affect how they look for and interpret evidence. So you are always going to get opposite recommendations from somewhere. Best wishes picking your way through and being honest with yourself about what needs to be central on your plate.

Eat only when *truly* hungry, don't overeat /binge, intermittent fast for 24 hours once or twice a week (or everyday by skipping breakfast), exercise an hour a day (and, preferably "fasted"), keep starches (bread, rice, pasta and potatoes) and (fruit) sugars low.. *avoid oils* in favor of *whole foods* (eat *coconuts* instead of *coconut oil* , for example).. and there's your "recipe" for fat burning without having to give up any particular foods. You're welcome. 😉

[@madimakes]

some of us end up deriving ultimate pleasure from avoiding sweet foods, however. I thought this may be temporary for me, but am coming to realize i hadn't really been a fan of sugary stuff anyway, except in moderation. Keto has been a great way for me to get some of those empty foods out of my life, while losing fat. Who knows if i'll keep it up 'til the end (didn't plan on it), but for now, i'm good.

[@josephdavis5972]

I love the idea of going 1 to 2 days a week without food. I started doing a Wednesday and Sunday no food total fast mixed with 6 to 8 hours intermittent fasting the rest. Planning to switch it up though and start doing a two day consecutive fast on Saturday and Sunday to get more time at once in the low insulin, repair and detox zone.

If I skip breakfast I faint. Even if I delay it about an hour after waking up, I start getting so dizzy I cannot function. To me, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Cannot even fast for medical procedures or cleansing. It's really annoying, and I wonder what might be the cause.

Lol, so many people's comments. :) if you listen correctly you'll know that he isn't an expert in veganism, but that's not the point. He gives some very good advice for any vegans who want to lose weight. This is more of a diet then a possible recommended a lifestyle. If anything, vegan should be thanking him for the great advice. The whole fruit thing actually makes a lot of sense at least temporarily. The other vegans on KZbin who are very skinny and lots of fruit are already skinny. For those of us who could stand to lose 20 or 30 pounds not eating foods with lots of sugar and carbs makes sense. :) especially from a ketosis standpoint.

[@emailjwr]

Brandon Esparza ok but the problem is that ketogenic diets cause early death 💀. so it's not worth the risks when you can eat a whole foods plant based diet which has only been shown to prolong life.

[@BrandonEsparza04]

Are you familiar with the keto woe? There actually much evidence for the opposite. It's really a fascinating diet when done correctly.

[@emailjwr]

Yes, I am familiar, here's a studying showing how meat-based keto increases mortality, other studies have found the same : "A low-carbohydrate diet based on animal sources was associated with higher all-cause mortality in both men and women, whereas a vegetable-based low-carbohydrate diet was associated with lower all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality rates." www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2989112/ Why not just eat a whole foods plant-based diet which gives the weight loss and INCREASES longevity?

[@BrandonEsparza04]

Interesting. A few challenges I see. The study was specifically geared toward low carb, but not specifically hi fat running on ketosis. I would be interested to see something like that. The other would be the ability to do a low carb, no meat diet. Possible yes, but very difficult. I'm open, but I've lost around 40 pounds and feel much healthier now than on vegan.

I am new to your channel and I want to Thank You so much for doing a vegan chart. All my life I was thin until, I turned 52 when we received news from our doctor that my husband had stage 4 brain cancer. My stress level was out of control and Unfortunately a year later my husband did passed away 😭 R.I.P. K.B. I then became severely depressed and could hardly get out of bed. I no longer was exercising, I had zero motivation to cook or eat so I was just eating junk mostly frozen vegan proceed foods and a lot of sugary snacks. Fast forward to eight years later. I’m now fighting another battle but this time it’s my health. I went from 90 pounds to 160 pounds. My doctor told me I am pre-dietetic and that I’ve lost muscle in my legs from not wanting to get out of bed and walk . I am now out of bed, walking and eating a healthy plant base diet but the weight isn’t coming off as quick as I had hoped. This is why I came to your channel to learn from you what I can do to continue to be motivated and to move forward eating the right foods at the right time and hopefully reverse some of the damages I’ve done to myself. I’ve learned a hard lesson being vegan doesn’t always mean your healthy there’s a lot of unhealthy vegan foods out there and food isn’t the only thing our bodies need Exercise is also important not only for our muscles but also for our brain

Hello Dr. Berg, firstly I want to say thank you for making your videos, as an ex-junk-food-vegan (currently a healthy-whole-foods-y vegan) I learnt so much about the liver through your videos. I love how thorough and informative and passionate you are in your videos. I have a question, i got a concussion about 15 days ago, prior to this I had a lot of gut issues that i gradually corrected through watching your videos ( rectal bleeding and lots of mucus in stool) i cleaned up my diet which helped reduce and eliminate the inflammation I believe, however a year later, i have a concussion. I was reading ( even though I shouldn't be online ) that a ketogenic diet is best for healing TBI ; I watched this video in the hopes to get some more information on how to reduce carbs ( i still eat couscous and sweet potato and brown rice as a main source of carbs, i tried doing this to gain weight before my concussion because I began exercising again) I have always been very thin ( even before being vegan) and I guess my fear is, if I go into a full-blown vegan ketogenic diet that I lose more weight. I noticed since the concussion whenever I eat a full meal ( with carbs) i need to sleep (aside from other horrible symptoms that come with a concussion). I only had this problem in the past when i had the GI issues. I guess my question is; will going on a full-blown vegan ketogenic diet cause me to lose weight ? I want to stabilize the blood-sugar levels so that my brain can find stability in it's trauma right now, but I don't want to lose weight, what would you suggest? thank you again, I don't expect you to answer this, but just tying on here just in case you might, lots of love from Montreal, Canada !

Berries?? They have SO many phytonutrients in them that I would say that any insulin effect would be negligible. These phytonutrients modulate and numerous positive effects on the body. Cost benefit is still in favor of berries. Same goes for many fruits. Dr Furhman has a lot of science to back this up.

[@oolala53]

Stop just taking the word of what is supposed to happen and use a glucose monitor to see what actually happens. Phytonutrients cannot make up for glucose spikes. If you don't get a spike of more than 30-40 points with berries, have at them, but not a lot, maybe half a cup because they don't have as much of nutrient concentration as most green veggies.

I am having craving, I want meat, I want sugar. I have to allow myself some healthier vegan sweet food such as raw cacao hot choc and some vegan choc, had some junk food but not much because I found it tough. I felt so sad and alone in it because I thought I would get better instantly and the weight would drop off. Now it makes sense that it takes time for all the bad things to get out my system first.

Thank you for all your videos! They are great! I've been following the 8:16 method as best I can for a month now and have dropped 16Lbs this month. I have a question that I have been trying to work out a routine on. I am vegan, I work 12 hour shifts. What do you recommend to put in coffee first thing in the morning ( coconut oil has been my best solution but it's over 30 calories) Also I cannot put off eating until lunch break at 1130 when I get up at 530 and work until 7. I was getting headaches even with a lot of water. What eating time schedule would you recommend? Thanks for all your help with your videos they are great!! ☺️☺️☺️☺️

Nice vid, but those restrictions are too extreme. Have tried this type of diet again and again and always fail. Not even fruit??...impossible for me.

If you eat lots of salad it reduces your appetite for sweets/carbs

[@-Datboijj-]

+Eric Berg you idiot carbs are life

[@Jimvesterstallone]

+Vegan russell Dr. Berg recommends TONS of low-glycemic carbs...7-10 cups of vegetables per day minimum, plus green drinks, kale shakes...there's no lack of carbs while eating this way, just simple sugars.

[@-Datboijj-]

Jimvesterstallone the simple sugars are life, humans are most designed to eat fruit, it catches our eye, if fits in our hands, we naturally have sweet tooth. You are denying ur DNA

Hi Dr.Berg. I'd love to know what you think about Turmeric & Pepper, apparently it has great health benefits.

[@EricBergHRV]

+Eveline Hodges Love them!!!!

[@vesperal2]

+Eric Berg, Can we please have a printable list of these foods?

[@AussieAngeS]

Tumeric and ginger especially are fantastic. Apple cider vinegar with water in the morning is great to kick start your metabolism. I do this every morning

[@FatimaFarmer]

This was really helpful... I have a question how does the apple cider vinegar help? Also, wouldn't this help with overall weight loss and not just belly fat?

[@awarenessvillage]

It helps all kinds of fat loss. I believe he highlights belly fat because it is caused by insulin resistence and is seriously difficult to get rid of and causes health problems down the road.

Thank you so much for including vegan keto, Dr Berg! I recently found & subbed to you for all the other great/helpful I was finding abt sugar and carbs, but I didn't know you'd ever addressed veganism until just now when I specifically searched "vegan keto"! I just watched your vid abt EPA & DHA/microalgae, too!🙂✨

[@LoveYourselfAlways007]

Awesome! Thank you so very much!!! As a vegan, I've already lost 5 pounds in two days by following your advice!

[@o.aldenproductions.9858]

How's that possible maybe 2 pounds in 5 days.

[@Noniksleft]

Water retention?

[@eelkeaptroot1393]

Initial weight-loss while carb starving is usually water weight. Eventually you'll even loose muscle with the fat, cause your athletic performance will likely suffer, due to lack or energy. Then when you're done carb starving and your metabolisme addapted and you start up the carbs again you're likely to jojo back or even over your previous weight. And you'll be looking for a new diet fed to follow, most of the ones out there promote caloric restriction and carb starving, probably cause of that happy initial weight-loss on the scale.

[@danielherrera3672]

Love Yourself Always thank you I found this very helpful but where do meat substitutions fall on the list

[@jameshitchcock330]

Eelke Aptroot when you become keto adapted you have an increase in energy, and keto actually preserves muscle mass, muscle isnt that easy to lose, since keto ive been able to do more reps from my personal experience.

[@angelaquemby2950]

Thank you. I just started this way of eating having worked out myself that this is what I needed. 16:8 fasting, no snacking. 8 hrs sleep. I can already see my belly disappearing after five days! It’s taken me years and a zillion diets that didn’t work to work out that I needed to cut out carbs as well as sugar. I’m insulin resistant, prediabetic but not for long. I was on the Patrick Holford low GL diet a few years ago, and that was the closest thing to this and I lost 6kg in 6 weeks, but only two meals a day is better for me and adding keto to it as well has certainly got results!

[@KrishnaKumar-bz5sy]

Excellent advice and very lucid explanation of the science of insulin resistance. Thank you. I am going to work on my diet accordingly.

[@lealea6020]

Thank you so much. I really like that you make videos for different styles of eating like vegan/veggie/meat and explain everything so clearly

[@queensgirl58]

last year I had the tail of my pancreas removed. it has left me pre diabetic. I am not on any meds . I just eat a low carb diet and some exercise. my fasting glucose is the one that's high every morning in the diabetic range..over 126. can you do a segment on pancreatic operations and diabetes? thanks Gina

[@zxyatiywariii8]

I don't know why this still needs to be said, but -- NOT ALL VEGANS ARE ALIKE. If you're doing HCLF and you're happy and healthy, great! If you're doing the high-fat paradigm recommended here (without the ghee, obviously) and you're happy and healthy, great! I have tried many different dietary paradigms to find what works for me. But no two humans are identical (and I know several sets of monozygotic twins) so it's ridiculous to think that any ONE diet will work for everyone. Find what works for you, but don't assume it will work for everyone. Why do so many vegans not know this??? Smh.

For the Weight loss green store tea product itself, it seems to be helping with my weight loss, and I believe it is a great product due to it working without any negative consequence. However, I never had a chance to find out how it would work without the dieting and exercising. And for the company, they really cares about its customers and wants to make sure they are happy with the product! I would not hesitate to recommend this product for my friend, and actually 3 of my friends already purchased this product after they saw I did lose lots of weight.

[@naturalbeautyfoods512]

This is a really great video and I appreciate the way you explain fat burning and insulin. My only question is this: I eat a raw vegan diet with a lot of healthy fats (all on your ok list!). I try to eat only two large meals a day, but I do eat good amount of fruit. I am able to maintain a perfect weight this way, so why do you think that is? I understand the idea of sugar being a problem regardless of where it comes from, but I don't want to avoid fruit because of it's hydrating nature and it's nutrient content. I don't understand the idea of saying no to fruit, although I am open to hearing more on the topic. But it seems I am able to maintain a perfect weight even with some fruit in my diet. (Mostly mangos, watermelon, papaya, and banana.) Why do you think this is? (Asking sincerely)

I receive a lot of comments from vegan detractors of the low carb diet, saying they would never do it, because of their ethical beliefs concerning animals. Well, now that I can point them to this video, they have no excuse. Furthermore, a vegan version of low carb is cheap. Someone with a very limited income can do it for very little cost, as the most expensive part of a conventional low carb diet is the meat. Thanks Dr. Berg for this information.

[@borostu]

+Drake Santiago They are detractors because they don't have the willpower to do it. And I'm not sure I would be able to either if I couldn't eat bacon, eggs or sardines first meal of the day.
