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 weight.

Hey, it's me again. In this video, we're going to talk about sugar in relationship to the most

common problem that I see out there. Okay, so let me just give you some facts. Sugar increases

this hormone called insulin. Insulin lowers that sugar in the blood. So that's the purpose,

is to lower the sugar, and what does it do? It puts it in storage as fat. So all the sugar

you eat goes right into the fat, it's converted. So high sugar diets or high carbohydrate

diets are really high fat diets. Okay. Once it's into the fat, it's very difficult to go the opposite direction.

Now check this out. If we graph insulin, there's three main types of foods. We have fats,

proteins, and carbohydrates. So as you can see here, when you eat a carbohydrate in the form

of really a sweet thing, it really

raises the insulin pretty high, right?

If you eat protein, it will also increase the insulin if the protein is a little bit too

high, or you add sugar to that protein, like a hot dog in a bun, hamburger in a bun, you go to a Chinese

restaurant and they put it breaded different meats, all that, or put ketchup on the hamburger,

all that sugar and meat will increase insulin.

But the right amount of protein won't increase insulin.

Like if you have three or four ounces, it will not increase insulin. All right.

And then we have fat.

Fat does not increase insulin.

That's right.

That's amazing.

So here's the thing.
