If you feel like you can't live without carbs, this podcast is for you.
Can't live without bread? Did you know this:
• The average American consumes 53 pounds (26 kg) of bread per year.
• The glycemic index of bread is 71 - 81.
• Low-fat bread has too many carbs that turn into fat and then spikes insulin, which blocks the ability to burn the fat.
• A lot of white bread has bleach (chlorine dioxide) in it, which may lead to type 1 diabetes.
• Transglutaminase is an enzyme that can worsen the sensitivity to gluten.
• When you consume whole grains, you're getting bran, which is loaded with phytic acid that blocks zinc.
• The more bread you consume, the more you're deleted of B-vitamins, vitamin E, and zinc. Vitamin B1 and vitamin E are essential for the heart.
Keto-friendly alternatives to bread:
1. Oopsie bread (cloud bread)
2. You can make bread out of almond flour, cauliflower, chia seed, flaxseed, coconut flour, and zucchini
3. My keto-friendly bread recipe
If you're craving bread, you're usually deficient in vitamin B1. Taking nutritional yeast can help reduce these cravings. Healthy keto and intermittent fasting can also help make your hunger go down, making it easier to avoid bread.

| 0:21.6 | 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 weight. No, I'm not doing keto. I can't live without bread. Listen, I totally understand. |
| 0:51.2 | And you probably have your mind made up. but just hear me out. Did you realize |
| 0:55.5 | that an average American consumes 53 pounds of bread per year? That's 26 kilograms. Is that a bit |
| 1:06.9 | excessive? That's a lot of bread. The glycemic index of bread is 71. Okay, and it can actually |
| 1:14.1 | go to 80, 81, too, depending on what kind of bread it is. So even though bread is low fat, |
| 1:20.6 | it'll be broken down into sugar, then convert it into fat in a big way. So the low fat bread |
| 1:26.4 | has too many carbs that just turn into fat, and it'll spike |
| 1:31.8 | insulin, which then blocks the ability to burn the fat. So if you're trying to lose weight, |
| 1:36.8 | it's going to be almost impossible if you're consuming bread. A lot of white bread has bleach |
| 1:42.8 | in it, which is chlorine dioxide. And there's some animal |
| 1:46.3 | studies that show that this can lead to type 1 diabetes, destroying the pancreas. Then you have |
| 1:53.6 | an enzyme called transglutaminase, which basically changes the texture of the dough. But the problem is it worsens the sensitivity to gluten. |
| 2:03.6 | Gluten is the protein in certain grains, |
| 2:06.6 | and 20 million Americans are sensitive to gluten |
| 2:11.6 | or are gluten intolerant. |
| 2:13.6 | That means that when you consume foods with gluten, it will actually destroy the little roots |
| 2:21.1 | on the inside of your digestive system. Those are called villi and basically make them go away. |
| 2:30.0 | So they're blunted. So you can't absorb anymore, especially even like fat-siable vitamins and nutrients. |
| 2:37.6 | So it can really impair the absorption of nutrients. And it can even trigger autoimmune diseases and |
