Slow vs. Fast Metabolism： Interesting Difference – Dr.Berg on Increasing Metabolism

Recently at our Keto Summit , we had professor Benjamin Bickman give a talk on ketones .

And so this data is taken from his talk .

I'll put a link down below for more information on him , a very fascinating guy .

So he was talking about ketones and fat burning .

But what I found very interesting was this , when you're in ketosis , your fat cells are very inefficient .

Now , if you take someone with a slow metabolism , their metabolism actually is very efficient .

They can get by in a very tiny amount of fuel .

But when you put someone in ketosis , they waste a tremendous amount of fuel .

It takes way more oxygen to make less fuel .

I think the best analogy that I can think of would be , let's say , for example , you're driving your car , and instead of having gasoline in the car , you're running on fat fuel .

K ?

And the goal is to get rid of that fat fuel .

So if you put your foot on the gas pedal , okay , you're gonna be using more energy .

Right ?

But let's say for example you also have your foot on the brake pad as well .

It's it's not only gonna go so far .

So you're gonna have to put more energy or more gas pedal to produce the same amount of energy to get somewhere .

So that's what happens in ketosis .

You're using a lot more fuel because you're wasting a lot of fuel .

And this is very good because you have a lot of fuel to waste .

I mean , one of the worst things that could happen to a person , let's say they're £300 , and they get in a diet and they start dropping their calories to 500 .

And they do that over a period of time , back and forth , dieting , back and forth .

And now they're at a point where they could be working out , eating 500 calories , and they barely lose anything because their body has adjusted so efficiently that it can run on small amounts of fuel .

Ketosis is completely different .

You're gonna be wasting a lot of fuel , and also you're gonna be breathing out and urinating out ketones .

That's why when you test yourself with a breath meter or a glucose stick , that's wasted fat that's coming out of your body .

Now there's actually 2 studies I'm gonna post in the description area .

One is a study that relates ketosis speeding up your metabolism , and the other one relates to lowering your carbohydrates , not even necessarily getting into ketosis .

But just the fact of lowering your carbohydrates will increase your metabolism .

Because the main factor that controls your metabolism is this right here , insulin .

Whether you drop your carbs or do fasting , you're gonna lower insulin .

And the fact that you're lowering insulin is going to speed up your metabolism .

So if you're struggling with a slow metabolism , realize we need to switch you over here so your system becomes more inefficient , waste more fat , and it's all about getting into ketosis .

If you're new to my channel , I put a link down below .

You can learn how to do it .

It's very easy .

It's gonna be very beneficial because trying to lose weight with a slow metabolism is completely unnecessary .

All it takes is some simple understanding of how to get into ketosis so you can drop insulin , and your fat cells can be more inefficient .

Thanks for watching .
