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.

I wanted to create this video and answer a question that keeps coming up over and over

and over.

Losing weight reduces my insulin resistance.

This could be pre-diabetes or diabetes.

Insulin resistance is kind of the thing that comes before pre-diabetes.

But if you have pre-diabetes or you have diabetes, you also have insulin resistance.

Insulin resistance is a situation where your cells are not absorbing insulin anymore.

They're rejecting it and your body is now making way more insulin than it should.

And insulin, what it does is it blocks the ability to burn fat so you can't lose weight.

And also, it caused you to store fat and it will keep you at that certain set point

like that plateau.

So you may lose weight, but then you plateau at a certain amount, like let's say 180

and you just can't seem to get past that point, that's because you have insulin resistance.

So now the question is, if you lose weight, can you improve this and does it put your

body in a state where you can actually lose weight more easily?

Here's the answer.

It really depends how you go about losing weight, okay?

Now let me explain that.

If you try to lose weight incorrectly, let's say you do it with move more, less calories,

but you don't change your carbohydrate level.
