Today, I want to cover the five worst diet mistakes, especially when trying to boost metabolism.

The top mistakes dieters make:
1. Trying to boost metabolism
A slow metabolism is not really a slow metabolism at all—it’s an efficient metabolism. Stimulating your metabolism is a bad idea because you’ll burn it out.

2. Going on a low-calorie diet
Many people who appear to have a slow metabolism have a history of going on low-calorie diets.

3. Stoking the metabolic flame
People do this by consuming six small meals throughout the day. But eating frequently doesn’t speed up your metabolism. Every time you eat, you stimulate insulin. Even in small amounts, insulin can prevent you from burning fat.

4. Overtraining
Fat burning occurs in the recovery phase. Overtraining doesn’t allow your body to recover.

5. Consuming processed protein shakes
Protein stimulates three of the fat-burning hormones. But, the quality of the protein is crucial. Many protein shakes are refined and are of poor quality. The protein powders are also typically very high on the insulin index scale. Try consuming high-quality animal protein instead.

Remember, it’s not “lose weight to get healthy.” It’s “get healthy to lose weight.” Switching to using fat as your fuel instead of glucose and converting your body into a state of ketosis will help you lose weight.

You’ll know you’re in ketosis when you can do intermittent fasting and your appetite and cravings disappear.

To burn fat as fuel, you must consume moderate amounts of high-quality protein and avoid high-carb foods. High-intensity interval training with a lot of recovery will also help you burn fat. On top of that, you need to keep your stress low and get plenty of sleep when trying to lose weight.

  1. Dr Berg great video ❤

    Your the first person who has recognised that a slow metabolism is healthy and efficient

    Apparently scientists are looking for a genetic fix because over 60% of the world population gets fat too easily ".Drs trying to fix healthy"

  2. i am 48yrs old 6.2 height , i was 254 pounds 40 days ago , i started walking pretty fast for 1hr and 20min 7 days a week and

    consumed 1600 calories a day using a scale and lose it app. i reached 233 pounds and the last 2 weeks despite doing the same regarding food and

    exercise i am stuck to 233 pounds , it's like my body thinks 1600 is my maintenance and i stopped losing weight. i wish i knew better

  3. 0:25: ⚠ Boosting metabolism through stimulants is a mistake and can lead to long-term issues.

    2:10: 🥦 Lowering carbohydrate intake is crucial for tapping into fat stores and promoting weight loss.

    4:18: 😔 Overtraining and lack of sleep can hinder weight loss efforts, while protein can stimulate metabolism.

    6:33: 💪 To lose weight, focus on getting healthy and using fat as fuel, which can be achieved by converting your body into a state of ketosis.

    8:30: 🥦 The video discusses the importance of keeping cortisol levels low and following the dietary guidelines for a healthy diet.

  4. sir… i am from india. is it possible to meet you in person. we would be happy and blessed if you can travel across countries and make consultations ,bookings for appointment and meet ppl directly around the world. we are big fans of u and want to meet u .plssssss

  5. Hello DrBerg! (I’ve written this comment elsewhere also but thought I could give it another chance of being read.) This comment is off-topic to the video but I just thought I might present an idea. It has to do with cheese. Could you or folks you know make a company that makes all kinds of cheeses , but only with chemical compound and minerally whole, good salts- Celtic, pink, Redmond, etc?
    That would be one fantastic company 🙂

  6. I really wanted KETO to work for me, but maybe I was lacking discipline. I was too frumpy and had too much cravings. I have been back to carbs and intermittent fasting. No change in weight, i'm 48, and 5'4 tall, fluctuate 135-140 lbs. I fast 3 days a week by only drinking sweet tea while i'm at work. I try to eat home cooked meals and avoid ultra processed foods. I feel a lot better this way. I guess different things work for different people..

  7. I'm about to try keto! Thank you always for all your advice. Your so helpful!! I feel my body is going crazy right now. I was 127 before my last pregnancy ( baby number 4) me 5,3 at 35 years old.. then now after pregnancy and my baby now 16 months old, I can not get off this 12ish pounds. I always have lost baby weight. I feel my cortisol is so high. I'm super frustrated. I used to fast alot before pregnancy but it seems like that's not even working now. I am starting to run on the treadmill every day. What do I do.

  8. Can Dr. Berg talk about bad breath during doing intermittent fasting or even prolonged Fasting, i have been having this problem since i started doing so.
    So i need to brush at least 3 times a day, sometime 4 if i go gym.
    Needs Dr. Berg to talk about this. Tq

  9. Good information, but the video editing is so cringe with the stock images and bouncing text. Honestly, it looks and feels like a YouTube preroll ad.
    The man has a good face, the camera like him. Just keep the camera on your face and stop with the hyper-editing.

  10. If doing all these steps right boosts your metabolism and you won't crave, feel hungry and can go long without food etc then why in extreme scenarios like the series mentioned, a person with slower metabolism will survive more efficiently?!? Ideally the fat adapted person with good metabolism should be able to adapt better rather than a person with weak metabolism who will have hunger pangs.
    Someone please guide me with this confusion.
