In this video, I want to explain why weight loss is not natural. Weight loss goes against the normal functions of the body—to survive. Your body wants to store up energy for a time when you need it.

When people say that all you need to do is balance your meals and have everything in moderation, this is bad advice. They don’t look at factors like hormones and nutrients, which play a huge role in weight loss.

Each type of calorie is influences differently. Protein, for example, triggers the fat-burning process, but not when you have too much. Protein and sugar together—like a burger with a bun and some fries—can cause you to gain weight because this spikes insulin. MSG and stress also cause major spikes in insulin.

You need a lot of vitamin A to keep your body healthy. The best source of vitamin A is egg yolks. However, when you are trying to lose weight, many people try to keep their fat levels lower. You can have cod liver oil to help with vitamin A levels.

Rather than a balanced diet, you want to focus on high-nutrient foods. You want all of your calories to come from vegetables, healthy fats, and protein rather than carbs and sugar.

Thanks for watching. I hope this video helped clear up why weight loss isn’t natural necessarily and what foods to consume for a healthy diet.

It is not natural to be over-weight...

This is quite interesting. I lost 60lbs in about four months two years ago while completing my masters program. I worked out twice a day, and I maintained a low fat/carb diet. As soon as the stress from school was over my hair started to shed. I have always had long and thick hair and it scared me so badly that I went back to a "balanced" American diet. My hair grew back but I gained 20lbs since and my energy is not what it was when I was on a low carb diet. I used to bounce off walls and my mood was a lot better. I would return to a low carb diet, but I am afraid that my hair will fall out again...lol It is maddening.

Vitamin a is also important in protein synthesis

Hi, can you explain about protein in urine. Blood sugar and blood pressure are in normal range. What causing it? Thank you

[sociallywired]

gr8 vid ! for weight loss you could take your body into a state of ketosis?
This would stabilize blood sugar and keep insulin production to a minimal.

Dr. Berg you are brilliant. Thank you for your help. Would you mind to talk about Chia Seeds and Oatmeal if I want to lose weight? Thank you again.

Jesus, why your videos are so low in volume?

[jaedo]

Dr. Berg, should I try a low carb diet? I need to lose about at least 50 lbs.

I see lots of people keep on talking about Okibetonic Secrets. But I'm not sure if it's good. Have you ever tried using this popular fat burn secrets?
