Welcome to the Dr. Burg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

Burg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

Hey guys, I had another interesting question, will intermittent fasting or skipping meals

cause golf stones? Okay, it's actually a good question. The first thing you need to understand

is what causes golf stones is a lack of something called bile, B-I-L-E. Okay, bile is made

by the liver, it's stored in the gallbladder. So during a given day, the gallbladder will

store and concentrate the bile to make it really, really, really powerful. Okay, so if

we have very concentrated bile sitting in that gallbladder, that's not going to actually

cause a stone. It's not going to sit there and cause a stone at all. What causes a stone

is a lack of this substance right here. Now, the other thing that triggers bile is saturated

fat. Okay, and that's why people that go on a low saturated fat diet, they end up getting

gallstones because they don't have enough stimulation of the bile. So, and even diabetics, for

example, or people who eat frequent meals or consume a lot of carbs, they're going to

dry up their bile, they're going to deplete their bile even more and get gallstones.

That's why there's a higher incident rate of getting gallstones if you're diabetic. So

when we do keto, we're increasing more fat to release more bile in a minute fasting.

We're allowing the body to concentrate more bile. So we have this super concentrated

bile and we have more of it to make sure we don't get gallstones. So to answer this question,

it's a big fat no. Alright, thanks for watching.
