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. This is number one and this is number two. So in the presence of any

store sugar or any sugar at all, this fat will not be used at all. The body does not like to burn fat in normal situations unless there's no sugar there.

So the way it works simply is the pancreas, regulate sugar, it pull sugar out when you're eating and then

when you're not eating, the liver starts kicking in there and puts the sugar back in and

starts to take this storage and start to put it back in the

blood to maintain a sugar at 100.

Now let's talk about briefly what happens when that sugar gets pulled out of the blood when insulin

goes up.

So there's three situations that occur.

Number one, that energy, that sugar could be used as energy, immediate energy, let's say you're exercising so you're going to be using up your energy or doing a marathon, the person's eating sugar and it's kind of burning up.

Or number two, it's being stored as sugar on that stored sugar in your liver and in the muscles.

So we want that to happen because if it's stored then it's not that's

stored then not converted to fat.

Okay, so I'd rather have stored sugar than fat, right?

Because stored sugar is just going to use for energy,

but we don't want too much.

So there's certain amount of sugar

that's stored in the body, but in order to store this sugar right here, what happens is that

you need potassium, all right? Without potassium you can't store sugar. So for every

sugar a little molecule you need one potassium molecule like that. So potassium

is like to glue to hold the sugar together. So with

low potassium levels the person will start craving sugar. Why? Because they can't store sugar. So they crave sugar. Why? Because the sugars
