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.

Hello, hey listen, I had another question from someone that wondered why they weren't

losing weight in the lower half of their body, and they're on keto and they're doing

them in fasting, and it's working, but the lower part of the body, the legs, the thighs,

the butt, not much happening, okay, let's just talk about that.

Well, when you're doing keto and intermittent fasting, you're basically targeting insulin,

you're lowering insulin, you're fixing insulin resistance, which primarily has to do with

all the fat in the belly.

So you should be seeing some weight in your midsection, and if you're not, just continue

to do it and it's going to happen.

There's going to be a point where you plateau with your weight because the density of the

muscle to fat ratio is going to change.

In other words, you're going to get more muscle and you're going to get less fat.

So you just want to continue to do that over time, and muscle weighs more, so the scale's

going to stop, but you'll start to shrink.

But typically what's going to happen, you're going to lose from the top going down.

But keto and intermittent fasting is only going to take you so far.

You're going to have to add exercise into this formula.

Why?

Because an average person in the 40s, 50s, and 60s is dealing with a high fat to low muscle

ratio.
