Belly Fat, Insulin Resistance, and a Hack to Beat Them Both

Whether you are a man or a woman, the deep fat that builds up in your belly greatly increases your risk of insulin resistance. In fact, when scientists surgically removed 18% of the belly fat in obese mice, their insulin sensitivity improved, and their onset of diabetes was delayed. This is not a video on how to surgically remove belly fat, and we are not mice, but I do have a daily strategy that you can use to fight back against belly fat and insulin resistance. Best of all, you can start doing this today, using - eTRE, Apple Cider Vinegar, and Cheese.

I'm 70 & started doing 19-20 hr fasts 2 weeks ago. End of first week I did one 24 hr fast then for 2 days did 14 hr. fast I don't eat bread or carbs on fast days.. but indulge on non fast days. Also I cut back on sugar. Cravings have stopped!
I started ACV in water to break the fast.. then ate 2T. vanilla yogurt. Later I had one small meal with protein. I am NOT hungry at ALL! Today for the first time I felt happy & full of energy! I started doing easy wall planks, squats, leg & arm exercises with 3# weights!
I'm in shock.. haven't felt like this in decades! I have had severe depression most of my life..
Today is a new beginning! 🎉
I'm even happier that I get to eat CHEESE!😋

[dianneholst]

I don’t know if anyone else has mentioned it but drink any acid drinks (lemon, vinegar) with a straw to protect your tooth enamel 😁

Just recently discovered Dr. Becky and really appreciate her calm disposition.

Finally, a video that is short and to the point!

I'm 65yrs old, being a trucker all my working yrs, I accumulated a nice supply of belly fat & insulin resistance to go along with it, now that I'm retired, I've been concentrating on my health, I practice intermittent fasting along with resistance training, I look & feel better than I did in my 40's when it comes to Apple Cider Vinegar, after being an alcoholic all my adult life, taking a nice swig is nothing to me, that's my alcohol these days, I consume before dinner and before bed it has helped me tremendously, I make sure I keep some in my car to have it while eating out or away from home, great content, although I hear it from other content creators, we tend to let things slip if we're not careful 👍

My Dad who is just getting into making healthy food choices, is looking into his lowering his visceral body fat after an health scare and has been eating a chunk of cheese before bed for the past 25 years will be glad to learn about this

I make a drink consisting of apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, stevia and fresh minced ginger. It tastes so good.

I tried this method when I was pregnant with my daughter and had gestational diabetes and it works! I had to take my blood sugar readings about 4 times a day and after practising the ACV method for 1 week, my fasting glucose went down to manageable levels. Thanks Dr. Becky for bringing it to a wider audience, you rock!

I find it easier to have dinner at a normal time 6-7pm, then skip breakfast and have lunch 12-1pm for 18 hours of fasting.

[ghenry]

I don’t understand how this worked. I have been at a stall even with IF for 16:8 and keeping carbs at 20. The weight just would not budge. The only change was this and I stopped eating an hour earlier. It doesn’t make sense that interrupting my fast with an ounce of cheese before bed worked. Amazing! Thank you Dr Becky!

[HD-olmc]

I do IF, but it’s really important to me to eat at the table as a family every night - it’s a ritual that we value. So my fast starts straight after dinner, which is by 7pm 🙂. Love your videos!

[hollymarshall]

Its so nice to see a Dr who seems to genuinely want to help people, as opposed to pushing products for pay out. Thank you for sharing your expertise! Even if perhaps this method is unsuccessful for me, I can walk away with dignity - instead of feeling like I got scammed. As a new subscriber; i'll look forward to your future videos!

[fabrice]

I have this last snack at least 3/4 hours before bedtime.
2spoons linseeds/ Flaxseed
1 spoon chia seeds
Mashed up Blueberries
And a little coconut milk.
Good fats
And will keep you full up for a long time and doesn't affect blood sugar.
Been doing it for years!

I’ve been watching Dr. Becky for 5+ years and took a break from YT for a while. Her and Dr. Keith. I’m so happy to see the huge increase in the number of subscribers. It’s because you are so approachable, knowledgeable and clear.

[TheBeatboxHitmanTwo]

This is off topic but I absolutely love your voice. It's so soothing

[trevorgwelch]

This is the most intellectual discussion on belly fat . Thank You .

[latriciacagle]

In the past, I have taken hibiscus tea with ACV and cinnamon at bedtime. This video has motivated me to start doing that again while gradually adjusting the tea/ACV proportions.

[mobiustrip]

It's so easy once you've done keto first and become fat adapted. I've been eating two meals a day for years. Breakfast at 6 and lunch/ dinner at 12. Then I go 18 hours without a grumble or even a thought about food.

[natashagabriel]

Your support is so greatly appreciated. I am working hard to return to my normal weight after two years of being on a high dose of Prednisolone and now also 18 months into the menopause at the age of 52. Your videos have been a great help - thank you so much.

As a Wisconsinite who recently got into fasting, this is the most electrifying news I've heard in years. Mobilizing Gouda reserves now.
