Also dealing with upper arm fat? Find out how to get rid of it here:
Our bodies have evolved to store body fat around the midsection as a survival mechanism. There are 9 times more receptors for fat storage than fat burning in this area. Adrenaline helps activate the fat-burning process, which can help shift the body from storing belly fat to burning it.
High insulin levels can prevent you from losing belly fat. Fasting for 20 hours a day can help lower insulin to your baseline. A HIIT workout during your fast can significantly increase adrenaline to boost belly fat loss. Weight training combined with HIIT can stimulate even more adrenaline.
To reduce visceral fat, it’s critical to lower insulin, which is why 20-hour fasting can be a powerful way to stimulate visceral fat loss.
There are also more cortisol receptors around the midsection than in other areas of the body, so chronic stress could be another reason you’re having trouble losing belly fat. Adequate sleep, sunlight exposure, and avoiding food for three hours before bed are also important for losing belly fat.
If you want to lose belly fat, it’s vital to avoid industrial palm oil, seed oils, sugar, and starches.

16 hour fasts. Calorie deficit. Exercise. Avoid breads, pastas, and processed foods. It sucks because it's the last fat to go.
I've also had success taking
digestive enzymes, eating
olive oil, garlic & green superfoods
called Green Vibrance
daily & staying very regular.
As well as doing deep breathing
exercises. We all need to RELAX
& BREATHE more & stop HOLDING our breath. ❤🌏
Btw, I want to see a guy thats 350 lbs with genetics of heavy people just go 100% into all of this and come out the other end winning against his stupid body.
Its easy to say this stuff when your genetics are the doctors.
Can you do a video on why your body is stupid?. Bc our bodies are made to do stupid things that could only have increased mortality and your body has never evolved and therefore is stupid in the way it behaves.
The content is so focused and quality that I feel like he's an AI.
I wish you would give some exercises for Men over 60 with belly fat, who cannot exercise due to arthritis of back conditions, we cannot all go to the Gym……
Ancient people use to fast bc they ate what they killed
There wasn’t a food industry back in those days
Modern humans over eat bc of direct access that is granted to individuals nowadays
Hallo Dr. Berg, thank you for the excellent advice. I was wondering.. after 18 hours of fasting I feel very cold, have low mood, I am not so energetic and simply very hungry. How do you or other people force yourself to make HIIT?
Thank you in advance.
Monika
No lard as it's high in saturated fat. Organic red palm oil, perilla seed oil, black sesame seed oil, extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, flaxseed oil and black (cumin) seed oil are the best choices.
I dedicated myself to a lifestyle of fasting for 3 years and did not lose a single pound! I’m not insulin resistant. Can’t lose weight!
👀
Is this going me 35yrs loose weight 😢😢aging is catching me fats and giving me weight
What if you can't do high intensity Interval training because of an injury or that your elderly?
Started walking briskly 6 miles a day at 4.5 per hour. I done eat anything after 9, and my first meal is at 12 it works for me, and I ❤feel great
What about women with PCOS … low intensity workouts are recommended for us to be mindful of cortisol ?
Buy a rebounder and work your way up to sprint intervals. Then hop off and do some squat presses, then get back on and do a few more sprint intervals. 20 minutes 3-5x a week will do amazing things. I’m obsessed with rebounding and it’s fun.
@DrBerg…will an Air bike work?
Please talk about allulose
Im a woman over 40 In perimenopause. I was told that long fasting raises cortisol hormones in some women in their 30s and 40s due to hormonal changes. I also get anxiety, low mood, fatigue sometimes depression when I fast or go low carb too long
I'm confused. Doesn't the increased adrenaline cause cortisol belly?
Is there any natural way to lose wait with hypothyroidism without taking medication like NP Armour or Levothyroxin?
Walking 15 minutes after each meal I dropped 7 pounds in a week off my middle. Thrilled.
So…nothing has changed, no matter how they spin it — Eat less and move more.
I LOVE YOU DR BERG! I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND I HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOU FOR SO MANY YEARS. I SHARED TOUR CHANNEL TO SO MANY PEOPLE. I HAVE USED TOUR REMEDIES A LOT. I WATCHED YOUR VIDEO WHERE YOU MENTION ABOUT USING FENUGREEK AND MY HUSBAND DID AND I GOT PREGNANT. 🇺🇸 🇯🇲
You forgot one of the biggest factor. Genetics.
Also, alcohol and smoking. Alcohol slows your metabolism. Smoking deprives your body of oxygen needed for the energy to burn fat
Doctor, when you say fast for 18 or 20 hours, is it a complete fasting, meaning not ever water is allowed?
Excuses, excuses, excuses. Get in the fucking gym and stay discipline.
what about high impact zumba for a few songs?!?!
So maybe diabetes management is even way off/wrong by mainswamp med. They keep insulin WAY up! Insulin clogs arteries.
It an very well be mold toxicity– it creates fat to protect itself from the immune system
