does this really help melt the fat away
0:09
I'm going to talk it to you about four
0:11
fat burning myths and my number one
0:14
secret for melting fat fast all right
0:18
myth number one counting calories helps
0:21
you lose weight
0:23
here's the bad news a calorie isn't a
0:27
calorie the idea that calories count
0:31
came from a time when none of us knew
0:35
about the existence of the human
0:38
microbiome that huge collection of
0:41
bacteria fungi
0:44
parasites that live in our gut
0:47
we didn't know how much food how many
0:52
calories the microbiome was potentially
0:57
able to eat
0:59
we for themselves we also didn't know
1:02
that types of bacteria are really good
1:06
at extracting calories from the food you
1:11
eat and giving them to you
1:15
we also didn't know that bacteria are
1:19
really good at controlling your desire
1:23
for certain foods particularly high
1:27
calorie sugars and concentrated sugars
1:32
and fats like saturated fats so we
1:36
didn't know any of this
1:38
the fact is that if we have a proper
1:42
microbiome and we give the microbiome
1:46
the types of calories in fibers that
1:50
they want to eat
1:52
they can eat much of your food and
1:57
actually control your appetite as you
1:59
know from unlocking the keto code
2:01
there's a beautiful experiment that was
2:03
done with Chinese where they were put on
2:08
either a 7 or 14 day water fast
2:13
half the group got a hundred calories
2:17
of Prebiotic fiber now if you listen
2:21
Prebiotic fiber we cannot Digest
2:25
but our gut buddies our microbiome loves
2:28
it and they eat it
2:30
the group that was given the Prebiotic
2:33
fiber had no hunger despite a seven day
2:37
or 14 day water fast that's because the
2:42
bacteria
2:43
said hey we got what we need to eat you
2:48
don't have to go looking for food
2:50
it's called the gut Centric theory of
2:54
hunger and it's really empowering to
2:57
know that you can give your bacteria
3:00
control over what you eat and again you
3:05
want calories eaten by your bacteria
3:08
that way you can eat more calories and
3:10
not worry about so the other thing
3:13
please everybody wants to know why
3:16
aren't there any calorie counts in my
3:18
books why aren't there any macros why
3:21
don't I say there's this many
3:22
carbohydrates there's this much fat
3:24
there's this much protein when you're
3:27
doing this right none of this matters
3:30
and I stand by that
3:33
myth number two exercise long and often
3:37
for weight loss well I got news for you
3:40
exercise as you know I am a big fan of
3:44
and I like to exercise
3:47
but does exercise help you lose weight
3:50
couple reasons no
3:52
number one uh animals exercise for one
3:59
of two reasons
4:01
to find food or to not be someone else's
4:07
food and we actually come from the same
4:12
lineage my dogs go for a run or a walk
4:17
with me every day when we get back they
4:21
look at me and say okay we did our work
4:24
we've caught our kill let's eat it and
4:29
that's when they eat interestingly
4:32
enough if we don't take a walk or I
4:36
gotta run out the door or something
4:37
they're not even hungry they don't even
4:40
look at me like okay we did it and I see
4:44
so many people who exercise strenuously
4:48
and they're really hungry and they
4:51
overeat from their exercise I'm a
4:54
perfect example when I was 70 pounds
4:57
overweight I was what was called a
4:59
Clydesdale Runner
5:01
I ran 30 miles a week I was doing 5K 10K
5:05
every weekend and yet I was 70 pounds
5:08
overweight
5:10
why because quite frankly I was always
5:13
hungry and I was eating the wrong Foods
5:17
when I stopped that and actually reduced
5:21
my exercise program that's when I really
5:24
started to lose weight and keep the
5:26
pounds off
5:27
now I was in a study years ago people
5:30
have looked at people who have had
5:33
sustained weight loss over a period of
5:36
time long period of time
5:37
sadly as almost everybody knows diets
5:41
don't work for sustained weight loss in
5:45
fact most studies show that anywhere
5:47
from 95 to 98 percent of people who lose
5:51
weight on a diet quickly regain that
5:55
weight within a year
5:57
now long-term good successful weight
6:00
loss it turns out that the difference
6:02
between the long-term successful weight
6:05
loss folks and the people who couldn't
6:08
keep it off was the long-term people had
6:12
an exercise program that they could
6:15
stick with and that was the one
6:18
fundamental difference in long-term
6:21
weight loss we've seen that during the
6:24
pandemic
6:26
a lot of people
6:28
their exercise programs fell in the
6:32
toilet the gyms were closed there was no
6:36
way to get to a spin glass a pilates
6:40
class a yoga class a weight training
6:43
routine and people's weight really
6:47
started to go up and I have a fun time
6:50
watching my patients as each wave of
6:53
covid has gone by
6:56
and we return to those activities we can
6:59
actually see people stabilizing their
7:02
weight and lose weight but with each
7:04
wave we see the exact same thing happen
7:07
when everything shuts down again so
7:09
exercise is a great way to keep fat away
7:13
but not to lose weight initially myth
7:17
number three eating fat will make you
7:20
fat now I've talked about this on a
7:22
previous podcast but in fact if you eat
7:26
the right kinds of fat and if you eat
7:29
them during the right times and you
7:33
don't eat fats with refined
7:35
carbohydrates fats can actually help you
7:38
lose weight
7:40
so extra virgin olive oil helps you lose
7:43
weight very good studies comparing two
7:46
groups of people where one group got
7:49
extra virgin olive oil the other group
7:51
didn't the group that got the olive oil
7:54
lost two to three kilograms more than
7:58
the group that didn't get it as I talked
8:00
about in unlocking the keto code you can
8:03
take people with extra virgin olive oil
8:06
as their standard changed them over to
8:11
MCT oil in the same amount in MCT oil
8:17
medium chain triglycerides gave an
8:20
additional two to three kilogram weight
8:24
loss compared to what was experienced
8:27
with extra virgin olive oil so here's a
8:30
great trip that I talked about in
8:32
unlocking the keto code
8:34
take your olive oil mix in some MCT oil
8:39
it's flavorless and then use your
8:43
dressing apple cider vinegar balsamic
8:46
vinegar any vinegar and use that on your
8:49
dressing on your salads
8:51
gradually build up the amount of MCT oil
8:55
so it's about half and half olive oil
8:58
and Watch What Happens so fats don't
9:02
necessarily make you fat one avocado a
9:06
day is shown in human clinical trials to
9:08
make you lose weight
9:10
part of the reason is that avocados have
9:13
a lot of fiber that your gut buddies
9:16
love and they'll take care of you
9:19
final myth being in ketosis 24 7 is the
9:23
best way to melt fat
9:25
the problem is we were never designed to
9:28
be in ketosis 24 7. can you imagine our
9:33
ancestors who were trying to stay in
9:36
ketosis like so many people claim we
9:39
were and we
9:42
killed a buffalo can you imagine we'd
9:44
say oh my gosh I should really only eat
9:46
four ounces of that Buffalo because I'm
9:48
trying to maintain ketosis of course not
9:51
we would eat our full we would try to
9:55
fill up with as much and restore fat the
9:59
studies in animals and in humans show
10:02
that 24 7 ketosis is really one of the
10:06
worst ways to improve your health and
10:10
because of lack of time check out
10:12
unlocking the keto code and find out why
10:15
that's all for today because I'm Dr
10:17
gundry and I'm always looking out for
10:20
you
10:21
I hope you enjoyed this episode of the
10:23

10:29

10:38
fruit
