The Reason Why Protein Is Used for Fat Burning - Dr. Berg

[@alesiakoch9750]

I went to the doctor today. I lost 3 pounds this week! I'm like, what?! Wow! I've lost 35 pounds in 2 and a half months. IF and keto with walking daily has really changed my life. My energy level is amazing. I'm so grateful to God for guiding me to this channel. You and Dr. David Jockers are wonderful people. Thank you both so very much.

I have been following you for a while and i must say you are highly competent and professional. In all your videos the way you deliver information makes a lot of sense and it's easy to comprehend.I haven't found anyone who's nearly as good as you in explaining health related topics. Thank you.

Just watching Dr. Berg's videos makes me feel relaxed.

[@marcchatow9516]

I really like his detailed information very much, but he does kind of remind me of John Ritter from Three's Company! :)

This is so good!!! I base my keto around eggs, salad, avocado & nuts! First time in my life I could lose weight. I quit Adderall & caffeine thanks to you Dr. Berg!

Dr Berg is the only honest Dr on this earth I know

[@hermonghebresslasie3198]

Ive been watchin him for a while. I love his info but I recently found out he studied business n art(quick wiki search) I guess he read a book or two

[@songsofthecentury3909]

The POINT is black beans contain a lot of Fiber, hence Net Carb Figure is LOW. Net Car Figure is Carbs---Fiber= Net Carb. Hence Fiber locks the Carbs(sugars) in & stops them from being absorbed. A lot of vegan bodybuilders live on black beans. Scott Bernhard is an example.

[@sethjones4916]

I just wanted to add that beans supposedly have a chemical in them that helps to prevent blood sugar spikes. I remember one study that said if you ate 2 meals with beans in them (back to back), by the third meal you could drink a pepsi and not spike your sugar. That might nullify the carbohydrate concern you have, if true. Of course, eating them just once a day would have a diminished effect. The effect builds over time with consistent consumption.

[@dandm20]

That color looks so nice on you Dr. Berg. Thank you so much for your videos. You are so awesome.

[@veronicanicholls7132]

Absolutely! I wish I lived in the States, I would be on his doorstep quich smart. Unfortunatly I live in Australia. Dr Berg is amazing, full of knowledge.

Great information and certainly answered some questions I've been having. Since following Dr Berg I've now lost 32 lbs and still going. Only 19 more til my goal weight! It's been so much easier than anything I've tried before. FINALLY something that really works. Thank you so much Dr Berg for all the videos and the clarity in them.

I did intermittent fasting last night after a month of over training and plateauing and staying at my weight. Woke up this morning and lost 3.5 lbs, weighed myself 10 times to be sure. This guy knows what he is talking about.

[@annkleinman3244]

Always atcthe beginning of fasting protocol you lose a lot of WATER weight for reasons you can Google. But keep going with it. It's the best. Takes practice

[@OverlandTT]

Everyday now since learning from Dr Eric Berg I'm having an omelet made using coconut oil (cold pressed, unrefined and virgin) I add spinach, bell peppers and green chilli (rough chopped). Oddly within a few days I'd also yesterday gone unintentionally 18 hours without food while I was out and didn't feel hungry at all, all I had was ground black coffee and apple cider vinegar tonic before heading out. I'm glad to see the emphasis on the vegetables with increase in fats, it's something I'd not given much thought to increase but will be mindful going forward.

[@TravisBickle0312]

Watched this video a few weeks ago, switched to high protein and lost about 12lbs in 2 weeks which is quite good for me.

[@steveoshow4832]

Excellent advice, simple but so effective when put into action. Should be taught in schools.

[@LaDyLuCk909]

Eric please never stop making videos. I start my day off with you, are you going to be doing a meet and greet soon ?

[@Carissima.]

I'm surprised that beans are dismissed as low in nutrients. I have always heard that beans are "superfoods", "packed with nutrients", etc. Listening to nutritionists is frustrating.

[@hermonghebresslasie3198]

If u listen vlosely he says its not good for weight loss. This info is mainly for people on a kego diet( low carbs high fat) cuz carbohydrate n sugar becomes the stored fat

[@robin231176]

@@hermonghebresslasie3198 If you watch closely, he puts three downward arrows for nutrients when talking about beans.

[@asaens1552]

Take into consideration that beans (glycemic load = 6) have fiber that slows absorption and provides some beneficial bacteria with fiber... just don't overdo it. Look at glycemic index and glycemic load of hummus (GL=0!!!)... it is low... again if not overdone with regards to consumption. Cold water fish is good or small fish to avoid bioaccumulative waste like mercury in larger fish such as in albacore tuna. Omega-6 fats are proinflammatory.

Dr. Berg is amazing. I've just started watching Dr. Berg's videos, it's been about a month now and applying his knowledge in regards to fat burning (Keto) and my stomach and waist is literally shrinking. I am 46 and i couldn't understand why i couldn't drop the weight, like i have done in the past; know matter how much exercise i would do and why the fat was accumulating in the stomach ( mid-section) and back? I love the way he explains the content. It is very easy to understand and apply. Good job Dr. Berg!

[@st.g6329]

John 3 : 16 - What you said. Not true. Im 40. Ive been on my back for 4 months with an injury to my spine. My calories are 70% carbs, 20% fats and 10% protein. I eat 1 cup of oatmeal per day, 150-200g of beans and other starches such as quinoa and potatoes and I lost 47 pounds in three months. I eat avocados, walnuts, onions and mushrooms on a daily basis because these foods have angiogenesis inhibitors, which stop the body from storing fat in its fat cells. In addition to the beans i also eat berries - both of these foods slow glucose absorption for upto 5 meals. This is called the "second meal effect" I have also made sure i eat 2000 calories per day. Its the calorie counting, the glucose slowing foods and the angiogenesis inhibitors in the foods that contribute to weight loss.

[@caprylchesley5285]

Iile

[@JD-59]

I agree. I use beans because of their high protein and soluble fiber content, but I boil dried beans and then cool them in order to form resistant starches (RS3, which are good for the gut microbiome). I like to combine beans, fatty nuts, olive oil and curry spices (so good).

I have been diagnosed with, fatty liver , leaky gut, kidney issues, memory loss, fatigue , fibromyalgia , mood swings , diabetes , high blood pressure and a sluggish thyroid and all I get from doctors is to diet and to try medication! Unbelievable. I am also menopausal and have been since 43 so I have suffered with hotflushes for nearly twenty years ! So I'm basically desperate and so willing to give Dr Berg a go !

Eric, This is a great video. I am at the hormonal change stage and fighting the battle of the bulge despite working out with weights and interval training at least 5 days a week. Sometimes 7 days. I juice Kale, Collards, mustard greens and carrots in my Breveille juicer. I make Hemp protein powder smoothies about 3 times per week (2 a day) using greek yogurt to increase the protein. I am struggling, but I am winning the fight.

[@thedivineexpression]

Jean Lipscomb stop juicing and eat your veggies. Juicing hits your bloodstream faster which increases your insulin. Hope that helps.

[@jenniepetroutsas4683]

Thank you for your educatiobal informations.

[@ntorakizi7743]

At 3:15 you mention that greens stop the liver from clogging up. That is the explanation I am missing. Is it just quantitative reduction of bile acid requirement for digestion absorption of a meal? Do you just mean we add fiber to reduce the % of fat in a meal in order to make it easier to digest/ absorb? I can think of a biochemical process or physiological function in which insoluble fiber would affect liver enzyme function. I would love it if you could shed some light to my humble confusion. Thank you

[@meyliqg1774]

And I WAS eating cashews while watching this 😭😭

[@AhsanKhan-eo8dv]

It's ok to eat once in a blue moon.

[@dougzembiec9995]

here's the short of it :: Protein burns 20-30% of its calorie content to digest it , called the thermogenic effect Carbs about 7-10% Fats 0-3% This means if you eat 2000 calories of proteins you will only absorb about 1500 calories CArbs around 1800 calories and fats around 1950 calories. Thats why having a high protein diet which is calorie deficient before the thermogenic effect , plus cardio will create fast weight loss.

[@EnterJustice]

The thermogenic effect is real. But that's not the essence of this video. The essence of this video is: 1) fat is ok, as long as you eat plenty of veggies to prevent your liver from malfunctioning, 2) foods high in carbs tend to be low in nutrients, and 3) foods that are high on the glycemic index are to be avoided. It's a shame he ignored potatoes though, which are high in starch but also very nutrient-dense. Combine them with lean proteins and vegetables to lessen their impact on blood sugar, and they're actually a decent addition to the diet. Cheap too.

[@SuziRider5D]

Pieter-Jan Most white potatoes are very high glycemic.

[@czechraiser]

Wrong. Hormones are far more important than the thermogenic effect, particularly insulin. Learn a bit.

[@contrarian717]

I'm addicted to (good label) nut butter. Berg says I must match it with lots of veggies. Do avo/onion/tomato/cucumber (I love this combination and eat daily) count as a good match?

[@You-are-right-but]

[@leeglee111]

You are so resourceful. Spot on about putting the right greens to help the liver. If I have a week where I have not placed green balance, my weight loss stalls. So to help, I have been incorporating green smoothies using kale. Cutting down the "amount" of protein at each meal. Balance, as you say. Finding my weight loss sweet spot. So true about the aging process and how your body responds. 😉

[@pursuitoffreedom7491]

1 question Dr. Berg. When it comes down to beans. Aren’t they absolutely loaded with fiber meaning they buffer the insulin response and are good for digestion. I remember a time in my life where I didn’t have much money and I ate beans and rice almost everyday for like 2 months. They’re cheap and easy to prepare. Loaded with carbs and I lost 20 pounds in that 2 month period. That’s also with a fatty liver because I have the pot belly.

[@Drumroll418]

Although protein has 4.5 calories per gram, it takes 1 calorie of energy for the body to process it. This means effectively, they have only 3.5 calories. So if we were to reliably count calories, it would be: Protein - 3.5 Carbs - 4.5 Fat - 9 And it doesn't make a different if it's plant or animal protein. Still need that calorie of energy to digest it. This is why many nutritionists and health experts say protein is the most important macronutrient for fat burning, because it literally increases your body's thermogenesis. But you have to consider the hormetic effects of your macronutrient intake on your body's ability to metabolize, process, and burn fat as well. Calories are important, but not the whole picture.

[@catiresaba9767]

I am getting confused, for ketosis in other videos you say 60-70% fat, 15-20% protein and 15-20% leafy vegetables; and to avoid high protein because it can trigger insulin. But in this video you seem to promote high protein and low fat, could you explain how ketogenic diet supposed to work, not to get theological but there is a book where all the other books harmonize with each other but most of your videos contradict each other. Thanks in advance!

[@ulanamiu1]

Catire Saba watch the video again

[@tinaplia8950]

Jennifer Hargrove if ur trying to lose weight, then no beans. but beans r ok if u don't have a weight problem.

[@kmax7163]

Yes I've notice just a bit of contradictions too. I'm beginning to think that there are many many different types of human physiology out there and diets need to be varied all the time to keep the body in an always adaptation mode. In addition, people in other parts of the world use certain foods all the time in their cooking cultures. That same continuous use of food however, may not be good for an American. Just one example is Germany. They eat a lot of greasy meats (sausages) yet Germans dont die with an 80% heart attack rate. Bodies adapt. And I'm thinking perhaps mix up the diet as much as possible. Keeping the body on its toes may be good for it, but of course sugar and gmo's have to go.

Another simple, interesting and easy to digest presentation but I couldn't help but notice not all of the numbers tallied up to make 100%. The protein, carbs and fat did add up to a total of 100 in the Humus section but not all of the food types discussed in this video did. I hope Dr Berg will do a more thorough on Rosacea, which I enjoyed but it was brief and a video on what food types might help people suffering with sun allergies would be most useful. Thank you and good luck.

[@TheIntuitiveBodyFoodieNetwork]

Another great video doc! My only caveat is to forget about store bought yogurts. Make your own using milk kefir grains and 10-48% cream instead. Firstly, as is, they contain less carbs than most store bought yogurts. More importantly most of the remaining carbs & sugars get fermented out the longer it ferments. You'll know it's virtually carb & sugar free after it's been sitting 6 months in your fridge and is more sour than raw lemons. Perfect for keto diets!

Part of me wants to throw the phone across the room, the other part of me wants to clean out my entire pantry, go to my local Sprouts market and start from scratch. Aside from that, my S.O. is on the completely opposite track when it comes to nutrition (loves the pastries, pastas, the fancy sushi, wines, etc) coupled w/a G.I. disease (U.C.) which she is addressing w/infusions so the moodiness, bloating, sleeping disorders, arthritic pains are all there too but still no sign of wanting to change cause "there is no natural remedy" according to her dr. I think she can really use this information and possibly reverse her condition but try to convince a sugar addict to change their ways...???

[@CalebMcFarland]

So Kale is high in Carbs, but you burn alot when you have to digest it. Does blending it make the body work less hard at having to digest it taking that 72% carbs more into account?
