Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

So, I wanted to cover some interesting things about fasting.

One is that fasting will increase your motivation and exercise, I'm going to cover that.

But I also want to talk about something very, very important.

And it basically has to do with hunger waves, okay?

You want to ignore hunger waves.

Now what is a hunger wave?

Well, it's a wave of hunger that if you ignore it, it will go away.

What's causing the hunger is a hormone, and it's called grelin, okay?

One is the hunger hormone, and it sends signals to the brain telling you it's time to eat.

And let's say, for example, it's lunchtime, and you're getting hungry, and you just ignore

it, you get busy, whatever.

Within two hours, you're going to find it's gone.

You're not hungry anymore, okay?

Then at dinner time, it might come up again.

If you ignore it, push through it, it goes away.

So over time, when you fast, you have these waves of grelin up and down, up and down.

But over time, they go further and further downward to the point where it becomes easier and easier

to fast where you don't have that sensation of hunger anymore.

So you have two things.

You have one is the sensation of hunger.
