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 want to talk about the significant factors to try to help you lose weight, not the insignificant

or the trivial things. So exercise is not going to help you lose weight in any significant way.

Now, I'm not saying not the exercise. I think it's a really good thing. There's a lot of benefits. You're going to be more fit. You're going to have less stress. You're going to sleep better. You're going to have more oxygen. You're going to lower your risk of having all sorts of health problems. So you need to do it. But if you're doing it to lose weight, don't hold your breath. Now, there's three significant studies, which I'm going to put down

below, that demonstrate heavy people who exercise end up actually having a slower metabolism than when

they start it. They end up having a slower resting metabolism by 5 to 15%. So in the best case scenario, given the fact

that exercise only gives you 15% of your results with weight loss and diet giving you 85% of the

results, if you're overweight and you're exercising and you're slowing your metabolism down by

additional 5 to 15 percent,

things become very insignificant. Now with that show called The Biggest Loser,

researchers did a post follow-up with these participants, and they found 13 out of 14 of these

people actually gained back the majority of the weight, And many of these individuals ended up with a

slower metabolism, burning 500 calories less per day when you compared to when they started.

Now with the biggest loser, they combined a tremendous amount of exercise with a low calorie,

low fat diet. And they didn't do the keto plan for sure.

And I think they did, they would have much better results.

Now, this is not exercise directly,

but a lot of people that are exercising

do either a pre or post workout drink,

or they have a snack of branch amino acids, some protein, protein powder, drink,

or shake, some collagen type drink before or after they work out, thinking that that's going to

help repair the muscles better or build more muscle mass. When in fact, all it's doing, it's
