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.

Today we're going to talk about why avocados can actually help you lose weight. There's some pretty fascinating research from Canada in the area of studying a very specific fat

molecule that's unique to avocados called Avocottin B, which incidentally also has anti-cancer

properties. Now, this is a fairly new molecule that was discovered roughly about two years ago.

And the study showed that mice lost weight as well as significantly improve their diabetes

type 2. So if you have a pet mouse, definitely put them on avocados.

But this study also involved humans, and they found that humans lost weight when they were given

this fat molecule that came from avocados. But the question is why. Why does this fat molecule

of a vocation be help people lose weight. Well, because it's involved in the complete

fatty acid oxidation. Now, what does that have to do with anything? Well, when fat is fully oxidized,

it can improve glucose tolerance and enhance insulin sensitivity, which directly gives you less insulin resistance.

Boy, everything tends to circle back to this insulin resistance thing, doesn't it?

Now, I'm going to tell you right now, avocados probably are not going to help you lose weight

unless you are doing a lot of other things as well.

But I think the important lesson to learn from this study

is that it's connected to insulin resistance.

And insulin resistance is at the core of weight problems.

And so anything you can do to improve insulin resistance

is going to help you lose weight.

So I think it's important if you don't already know this to identify and be aware of all those factors that will help you lessen this insulin

resistance situation. So I'm going to go through them. Number one, decreasing stress. Number two,
