| 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. |
| 0:50.4 | Will the sight or the smell of a carbohydrate knock you out of ketosis? |
| 1:02.1 | And the answer is, depends if you give into it. But no, the sight and smell will not spike insulin. However, it potentially could stimulate dopamine. And dopamine is a neurotransmitter. It's similar to a hormone, but it works through the |
| 1:09.2 | nervous system in the brain. And the effect that dopamine has is pleasure. |
| 1:15.2 | It's the anticipation of a reward. |
| 1:18.6 | It creates more want. |
| 1:21.2 | It's involved in lots of addictions. |

| 1:32.0 | okay, you may start to stimulate dopamine. Or how about that bread baking in the oven? The smell |
| 1:39.6 | is actually incredible, isn't it? Or what about the aroma of this amazing pizza that's being served to you |
| 1:46.8 | at an Italian restaurant? Or let's say, for example, you're smelling this Kentucky fried |
| 1:51.4 | chicken and you're hungry, right? You may start stimulating dopamine. And then you have the |

| 2:01.1 | and they served you before you're going to eat your meal at the restaurant. Oh, and by the way, |
| 2:05.5 | I'm really curious. Go ahead and type in the comment section of that food that you cannot resist. |
| 2:12.9 | Now, here's an interesting thing about this on a study that I'm going to post down below. |
| 2:19.3 | Dopamine was only increased upon exposure to certain smells or visuals if it's exposed to someone that already has |
| 2:28.1 | addictions or has a weight problem that's a binge eater. If you don't have addictions and you're not a binge |
| 2:37.8 | eater, guess what? Dopamine will not be spiked. And this is actually really good news because |
