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

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

Hey guys, in this video, I want to talk about the actual real cause of high triglycerides.

Now, first of all, triglycerides are the main thing that make up your fat cells.

Blood fats are called triglycerides. It's not the fat that you're eating that is the main problem

with triglycerides. It's the carbohydrates. Carbohydrates convert to triglycerides

through the help of insulin. That's why insulin resistance, which basically is dysfunctional insulin,

keeps your sugar high, thereby converting to triglycerides. If you take any person with

high triglycerides, you cut out the carbs, it goes right down unless they might have a genetic

problem and that's rare. Okay? So insulin resistance is a situation where insulin is dysfunctional,

it's not working, thereby causing no regulation of sugar so it starts going high,

you get more conversion to triglycerides. So insulin resistance being in pre-diabetes

will also you have high triglycerides. But mainly it's the carbs. It's not the dietary fat.

That is not the problem. I put a link down below to give you more information, but normal

triglycerides in American units are 150, slight risk, 150 to 199, some risk, 200 to 499,

and high risk is 500 or more. But if you cut the desserts out in the carbs, it will come right

down. Go ahead and try it as an experiment and put your comments below. Thanks for watching.
