If you’re not losing weight on keto, or you’re stuck on a keto plateau, this is for you. Make sure you’re not making these common keto diet mistakes... they could be the reason why keto isn’t working! Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] Chapters: 00:00 Introduction: The keto diet is not working for me! 0:41 Why I’m not losing weight on keto 5:35 Gallbladder, liver health, and the keto diet 10:03 Vitamin D and keto weight loss problems 13:50 Keto diet facts and fiction In this video, we’ll take a look at why some people struggle with weight loss on the keto diet or experience a keto weight loss plateau. To do the keto diet correctly, you must reduce your carb intake to 50 grams or less per day, especially if you’re working towards a goal such as weight loss, reducing chronic illness, increasing energy, or improving your health. Avoid these 13 common keto diet mistakes! 1. Don’t do dirty keto, a low-carb diet that doesn’t eliminate unhealthy ingredients. 2. Poor sleep increases blood sugar values to those of a prediabetic. It also increases cortisol levels, inhibits the release of growth hormone, and reduces fat burning. 3. Stress raises cortisol levels, which blocks the benefits of keto. 4. Overtraining can stifle weight loss! 5. Gallbladder and liver health are vital for fat breakdown and absorption, and critical for proper thyroid function. You won’t lose weight on keto until you address these issues first. 6. Your thyroid is responsible for metabolism and energy. Focus on iodine, selenium, and zinc intake for a healthy thyroid. 7. Weight loss on keto starts with a healthy gut. Try L. reuteri yogurt to restore gut health and lose weight. 8. Not getting enough sun is one of the most common keto weight loss problems. Vitamin D protects you from insulin resistance, and sunlight increases melatonin and serotonin. 9. The more atrophy you have, the less keto will work for weight loss. 10. Make sure you have realistic expectations and an accurate definition of normal. After the initial water weight loss when first starting keto, weight loss will vary from person to person. 11. Pair the keto diet with intermittent fasting. Eliminate snacking and only eat when you’re hungry. 12. Avoid cheat day! 13. Lower your dietary fat intake if you’re struggling to lose weight on keto. You may have heard rumors that the keto diet is dangerous, but this simply isn’t true and is often based on poor research. Some foods labeled as “zero sugar” still contain carbs. Check labels and make sure your keto weight loss plateau isn’t caused by hidden sugar consumption!

How to deal with constipation naturally: 1. Reduce your fiber 2. Talk to your doctor about whether or not it’s a side effect of a medication (and what to do if it is) 3. Consume vitamin B1 4. Lower your stress 5. Take bile salts 6. Take a probiotic 7. Do intermittent fasting 8. Consume a moderate amount of protein 9. Consume betaine hydrochloride and apple cider vinegar 10.

Find out the best way a woman can rid facial hair and what causes it in the first place.

Let’s talk about how to get rid of facial hair if you’re a female. The top cause of facial hair in females is PCOS. But, there are other potential causes, including a tumor on the adrenal glands or pituitary gland or Cushing’s syndrome. Symptoms of PCOS: 1. Heavy cycles 2. No cycles 3. Acne 4. Infertility 5. Insulin resistance The top cause of PCOS is high androgens. There is a lot of conflicting information on the internet and various suggestions on how to help improve this condition—but these recommendations can be confusing. I believe that excess insulin increases androgens, so high insulin is the root cause of PCOS, which then leads to facial hair. In my opinion, a good solution would be to lower insulin. How to lower insulin: 1. Lower your carb intake 2. Cut out snacks and decrease the frequency of your meals Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 57, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Your Waist Size Is IMPORTANT!

Did you know that your waist circumference can predict your risk of severe health conditions more than your actual weight? Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] Just so you know, my full line of high-quality supplements is available on Amazon — search Dr. Berg Supplements. 0:00 Introduction: Waist circumference and health 0:24 Visceral fat 1:13 Visceral fat vs. subcutaneous fat 2:44 Belly fat 3:06 Check out my video on how to get rid of visceral fat! In this video, I’m going to tell you why your waist circumference is more important than your weight. A woman’s waist should be less than 35 inches, and a man’s should be less than 40 inches. Every inch increases the risk of premature death. Visceral fat is fat that surrounds the organs and has several negative health consequences, including the following: •Sends signals to increase inflammation in the body •Contributes to insulin resistance •Hard to detect •2x-3x greater risk for heart disease •Increases risk of cancer, especially of the breast and colon Visceral fat is not the same as subcutaneous fat. Visceral fat is hormonal fat caused by cortisol or insulin. Consuming carbohydrates and frequent eating can spike insulin, leading to visceral fat. After menopause, women often lose their waistline due to a shift in hormones. Estrogen and progesterone decrease while cortisol increases. This also contributes to a loss of muscle mass. Body mass index (BMI) is not the best indicator of your overall health because it doesn’t reflect whether a person has significant muscle mass or fat. Some belly fat looks like visceral fat but is actually related to cirrhosis of the liver.
