| 0:00.0 | 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. |
| 0:27.7 | Let's talk about the dangerous of ultra-low fat diet. I'm talking about the diet that the fats make up only 15% of your total calories. The diet that I recommend has fat making up about 70% of your total |
| 0:36.6 | calories. Now, why is that? Because there's a lot of things in |
| 0:40.0 | fat that we need. Fat-cibel vitamins, essential fatty acids. Fats are needed to make structural parts |
| 0:46.4 | of our tissue, including all the cell membranes. And that's why they call certain fats |
| 0:50.5 | essential fatty acids, because it's fats that you need that you have to get from the |
| 0:55.5 | diet, your body can't make them. All right. Number one, you're going to get a decrease in the |
| 1:00.4 | fat, side of vitamins, vitamin A, D, E, and K. And the consequences of these deficiencies are very |
| 1:07.6 | vast. Vitamin A, immune system, vision at night, vitamin D, immune system, keeping viruses in check, |
| 1:16.9 | keeping your inflammation down, helping calcium be absorbed. Vitamin E essential for the heart |

| 1:30.1 | out of the soft tissues. All right, number two, risk of mental problems. Your brain is mostly |
| 1:37.5 | made out of fat. Your nerves are insulated with a fat lining. So if we don't have the structural components for the brain and the |
| 1:45.6 | nerves, your mood suffers and your cognitive function suffers greatly. All right, number three, |
| 1:52.1 | increased risk of cancer because you're not going to have the essential fatty acids to help |
| 1:57.8 | your immune system. All right. Next thing is decrease in HDL. That's the so-called good |
| 2:04.7 | cholesterol. That usually goes down with an increase in triglycerides. Number five, when you |
| 2:11.5 | decrease dietary fat, a person will automatically increase carbohydrates. Not a good combination. And by the way, |
| 2:19.3 | Americans have already tried the low-fat, high-carb diet for years, and we know it just does not |
| 2:26.0 | work. All right, number six, you're never going to be satisfied. You're always going to be hungry. |
| 2:31.7 | Not a good combination if you want to stick to any type of healthy eating |
| 2:35.5 | plan. All right. Number seven, if you actually lower your fat and raise your protein, it's really hard |
