| 0:21.6 | 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. So today we're going to talk about why Mexico has surpassed the U.S. |
| 0:48.8 | in obesity rates. In Mexico, the rate of becoming obese is 32.8% for adults. And in the U.S., it's 31.8%. So Mexico is |
| 1:01.0 | rated number one in obesity, not something you want to be rated for. 70% of adults are overweight. |
| 1:08.0 | Childhood obesity spiked up three times within the past 10 years. |
| 1:13.7 | And diabetes has doubled since the year 2000. No other country has experienced the rise in obesity |

| 2:03.3 | what was the change right before, the spike in a worsening of a symptom or in this case, |
| 2:10.8 | the major spike in obesity. And this thing is so obvious before the spike in obesity, |
| 2:15.9 | they were not drinking as much soda, and now they are. |
| 2:20.3 | And yes, there was a decrease in vegetable consumption by 30%, but that does not compare with a massive |
| 2:28.0 | spike of soda. And of course, Coca-Cola wants to retain that control. So they're sponsoring this program |
| 2:36.1 | is called Exercise is Medicine, which basically distracts everyone from the sugar that spikes insulin |
| 2:43.4 | that cause you to get fat. And the problem is exercise only gives you 15% of your results. |
| 2:49.0 | 85% of your weight loss results occurs by changing your diet. All right, guys, |
