Dr. Berg talks about the power of intermittent fasting. This is not a diet but a pattern of eating.
Why does it work? Because it triggers Growth Hormone and inhibits insulin. The purpose of intermittent fasting is to lower insulin, take the stress off insulin and the gland that makes it - the pancreas, and thus restore your metabolism. This can heal a plateaued set-point. If you have fat in your mid-section, then we know you have high insulin. Start with 3 meals per day, no snacking. Then do 3 meals per day but only eating your 3 meals in an 8-hour window, thus fasting for 16 hours. Ultimately, you want to fast for 20 hours and eat within a 4-hour window - 2 meals per day. If you add exercise, high-intensity interval training, you can greatly enhance Growth Hormone even more.

| 0:47.3 | It's a pattern of eating. |

| 1:21.1 | and the most powerful fat-burning hormone. There are six fat-burning hormones. Growth hormone is |
| 1:25.9 | the most powerful fat-burning hormone |
| 1:28.3 | to protect your muscles, to build lean body mass, and also just to lose actual fat. Okay? |
| 1:35.5 | And then you have insulin. Insulin is also a very powerful hormone in that it actually will |
