| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weights. |
| 0:26.2 | Now, what would happen if you starved yourself for seven days? |
| 0:31.2 | It sounds real scary, and some people associated starving with dying, but in reality, |
| 0:36.1 | it would be the healthiest thing that you can do for your body. |
| 0:39.1 | In fact, out of all the things you can do for your health, |
| 0:45.4 | I don't think there's anything that could compare with what you could do with just fasting. |
| 0:51.0 | Now, I'm going to get into the difference between fasting and starving in a minute, but if it is true that out of all the things fasting can create more health than anything else |
| 0:55.5 | then by logic it must also be true that frequent eating will create the most health problems that |
| 1:03.4 | you could have and i think that is true i mean take a look at how many people eat frequently |
| 1:08.0 | three square meals snacks between meals grazing at grazing at night. I think the majority |
| 1:13.9 | of the population is literally eating constantly. I mean, I remember in practice, there were people |
| 1:19.7 | that would be eating so frequently. They had to even get up in the middle of the night and consume |
| 1:25.7 | some food or they would have blood sugar issues. |
| 1:29.1 | I didn't know back then that low blood sugar problems, hypoglycemia, could be easily corrected |
| 1:36.7 | by not eating so frequently. I was under this assumption, this false assumption, that you had to |
| 1:42.8 | eat to prevent hypoglycemia. |
| 1:46.4 | And there were just certain people that had blood sugar issues, and that's the way that you have to handle it. |
| 1:51.2 | In fact, people that have hypoglycemia or low blood sugar could easily correct it by doing intermittent fasting. |
| 1:58.0 | All right. So how long could a person live without water? Well, about three to |
| 2:03.2 | five plus days. The person who took the world record at surviving without food and water |
| 2:09.6 | lasted about 18 days. But it wasn't 100%. He was thrown in a jail and people forgot about him. |
| 2:22.7 | And the only thing that he survived on as far as liquids was the condensation on the cell wall. |
