[00:50] Dr. Berry’s Favorite Tool
- Lowering carbohydrates is Dr. Berry’s favorite tool. People will benefit from simply turning down the carbs.
- Eat more meat! Even the cheapest processed meat will be better than eating carbs.
- Meat is the powerhouse of nutrition.
- If you can afford better quality meat, it will be like taking a multivitamin.
- The vitamins and minerals in meat are hugely bioavailable and more easily absorbed.
[09:30] What Do Skin Tags Mean?
- There are rare genetics anomalies that can cause you to have lots of skin tags.
- For the average person, a skin tag means you are hyperinsulinemia. This means excess levels of insulin are circulating in the blood relative to the level of glucose.
- You will sunburn more easily and be more susceptible to skin cancer.
- People who are keto for six months will realize that their skin tags are all gone.
- Going keto will fix your hyperinsulinemia.
[20:00] Why Keto is so Popular
- There is not a multibillion-dollar corporation that is pushing keto.
- People talk about how the keto lifestyle works for them.
- Weight Watchers is full of processed food and leaves you hungry for hours. Keto is a grassroots movement.
- Multiple corporations are trying to put out the keto fire.
- We are all rediscovering the proper human diet. The bulk of your diet should be some type of fatty meat. You want a lot of fatty meat if you are going to be a healthy human being.
- You can’t make billions of dollars from the proper human diet because it doesn’t consist of products. It consists of whole foods like meat, nuts, and vegetables.
[24:00] Where Should You Start?
- Three simple steps when starting out:
- Get rid of all sugar from your diet.
- Stop eating all grains.
- Stop eating all industrial seed oils.
- After cutting these three things, you can figure out what else will work best for you.
- The next step is not to buy anything that has “keto” or “low-carb” in the name. You do not need these things to do low-carb or keto right. Keto is real and whole foods.
[29:30] Getting Knocked Off Keto
- Stop trusting keto products! Those people just want to make a lot of money. To make a product that is tasty, they are going to have to use net carbs.
- Industrial seed oils are shelf-stable. They are terrible for your long-term health and nutrition.
- Throw away your canola oil. It’s dangerous for human consumption.
- You can start off doing keto really well. Then, you start to have little bites of carbs. However, those carbs will add up.
- You do not need three meals and three snacks a day. Protein will elevate your insulin. Carbs will also raise your insulin. Do not bring your old eating habits to keto.
- Fast for at least sixteen hours a day. Do not eat outside of your eight-hour eating window.
[37:20] Our DNA is Wise and Intelligent
- Our body does not need help or input. Our bodies just need us to not do stupid things.
- Fasting is ancient! There is nothing new about it.
- All major religions have some type of fasting involved.
- Food corporations are not interested in talking about fasting because their profits will suffer during a fast.
- Our bodies are ancient and intelligent. When our bodies are not eating, then we give our body time to repair.
