In this podcast, we’re going to talk about the dangers of an ultra low-fat diet.

I’m talking about a low-fat diet where the fats make up only 15% of your total calories. With the diet I recommend, fats make up about 70% of your total calories.

Why low-fat diets don’t work:

Well, there are a lot of things in fat that we need, such as fat-soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids. Fat is also needed to make structural parts of our tissues—including cell membranes.

Dangers of an ultra low-fat diet:

1. Decrease in vitamins A, D, E, K

2. Risk of mental problems

3. Increased risk of cancer

4. Decrease in HDL/increase in triglycerides

5. Decreased fat—increased carbs

6. Never satisfied—hungry

7. Low-fat high protein—hard on kidneys

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. Let's talk about the dangers of ultra-low-fat diet. I'm talking about the
0:48.5	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
0:58.6	calories. Now why is that? Because there's a lot of things in fat that we need. Fat-cibel vitamins,
1:05.0	essential fatty acids. Fats are needed to make structural parts of our tissue, including all the cell
1:10.5	membranes.
1:11.2	And that's why they call certain fats essential fatty acids because it's fats that you need
1:16.1	that you have to get from the diet, your body can't make them.
1:19.7	All right. Number one, you're going to get a decrease in the fat silo vitamins, vitamin A,

1:26.8	And the consequences of these deficiencies are very vast. Vitamin A, immune
1:32.3	system, vision at night, vitamin D, immune system, keeping viruses in check, keeping your inflammation
1:39.8	down, helping calcium be absorbed. Vitamin E essential for the heart and for hormone health,
1:46.8	vitamin K to help you stop bleeding. Also vitamin K2 to transport calcium out of the soft tissues.
1:54.5	All right. Number two, risk of mental problems. Your brain is mostly made out of fat. Your nerves are insulated with a fat lining.
2:05.2	So if we don't have the structural components for the brain and the nerves, your mood suffers
2:09.3	and your cognitive function suffers greatly. All right, number three, increased risk of cancer
2:15.9	because you're not going to have the essential fatty acids
2:18.8	to help your immune system.
2:20.8	All right.
