Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weights.

Hey guys, so today we're going to talk about keto on steroids, okay, extreme weight loss. This is not for everyone. It's for those people that need to lose some quick weight. And some

people that want an unfair advantage and want to just dive in and do whatever it takes to lose

weight healthily and fast. Okay. So typically when you do

keto, you have 5% carbohydrates, 20% protein, and these are calories, total calories, and 75% fat.

Okay. So that's typically what you would do. What I'm going to recommend is slightly different.

We're going to give you five hacks or strategies, okay? Starting with number one,

normally you would do 20 to 50 grams of carbs to do the 5% right. We're going to bring the carbs down

to zero. Okay. So yes, this is extreme. It's not for everyone but think about it the amount of carbohydrates

determine how deep into ketosis you're going to go okay so we want to go in there hardcore

so if we go zero carbs you will go into keto very very fast now the thing with protein we don't

want to go too little we don't want to go too little. We don't want to go too

much. If we go too little, you may start losing muscle mass. We don't want that and you might feel

weak because you need protein to replace body tissue. If you go too much, it's going to bog down your

liver and kidney and also it can potentially spike insulin we don't want to do that the sweet

spot is between three and six ounces okay now this really depends on several factors how young you are

how big you are how slow the metabolism is there's a lot of different factors for me i'm 180

pounds i need about 55 grams of protein per day, and that's pretty much what I consume on a daily basis. I'm not going to get into calories at this point, but I just want to kind of give you a reference. If you're smaller than me, you know, have a little less. If you're bigger than me, have a little bit more. Okay, so now the strategy with protein is we don't want to go lean.

We don't want to go low fat protein.

We want to get our fat and protein as one.

So you want to start consuming food that combines your fat and protein naturally.

But we definitely do not want to go lean because the leaner the protein, the higher the insulin spike.
