Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. All right,

All right, so we're going to talk about fat burning foods. So there are actually two sets of

hormones. Those are hormones that trigger fat burning, and then there are hormones that trigger fat burning and then there are hormones that trigger fat storing and this principle really comes into play as you age because when you're young you have a good metabolism you can pretty much get away with anything.

But when you age you have to consider the hormone.

So we want to go away from the calorie counting and focus more on how foods influence the hormone effects.

So I'm going to just cover some real key points here.

Number one, protein.

All right?

If you have the right amount of protein, which is three to four ounces per meal

you will trigger the fat burning process that's why skipping a meal especially

for breakfast is not a good thing

because you're not triggering any fat burning. You're actually starving your body.

You're creating a starvation reflex,

and it'll actually cause more fat storing.

So one of the triggering effects of fat storing hormones

is starvation, or going on a diet or being hungry because you're not

eating correctly.

That's why I think people will say sometimes like, oh yeah, you have to eat like seven meals

a day or you have to keep eating more

yeah I'm gain I'm actually gaining weight because I'm not eating enough well that may or may not be true

it really has to do with are you eating enough nutrients in the calories because but we don't want to basically be starving

your body.
