0:07.7

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

Okay, so at another question, will intermittent fasting slow my metabolism?

0:27.5

Because when I was consuming three meals, 1,800 calories, then I switched down to two meals,

0:33.0

1,500 calories, and now I'm at 1,000 calories for one meal.

0:38.6

Wouldn't this be considered a low calorie diet, 1,000 calories?

0:42.4

Well, this is what you're missing.

0:45.5

When you're doing low carb as in keto, you're also going to be tapping into your body fat.

0:53.5

Okay, so you're going to add more calories of fat from your own body's reserve, whereas

1:00.1

doing a high carb diet, you're not able to tap into your own body's fat, and you're stuck

1:06.8

with exactly 1,000 calories from the diet, and that is going to slow the metabolism down.

1:13.6

So no, intermittent fasting, if you combine keto, will not slow the metabolism down.

1:19.9

Does that make sense?

1:21.1

I hope so.
