If you’re not losing weight, dangerous diet advice may be the reason. Discover the worst weight loss mistakes and how to lose weight fast with these 13 effective weight loss tips. Watch next for more ways to get healthy and lose weight fast! ▶️ https://youtu.be/evxMkIHpRcI ▶️ https://youtu.be/e8gl002hqik ▶️ https://youtu.be/FAuClbdfqrI 0:00 Introduction: weight loss lies 1:01 The worst weight loss advice 1:49 Low-calorie diets 2:30 Weight loss mistakes 6:01 13 weight loss tips 14:08 Periodic prolonged fasting to lose weight fast Surprisingly, the most common weight loss tips given by mainstream dietitians and medical professionals are the worst diet advice! Calorie counting and portion control will leave you feeling hungry and constantly craving carbs. The body adapts to a low-calorie diet, leading to a slower metabolism. A low-calorie, high-carbohydrate diet raises insulin levels. I’m sure you’ve heard these other bad weight loss tips: • Eat 6 small meals per day • Count calories • Increase fiber • Drink more water to help you feel full • Chew gum • Take Ozempic These tips will not boost fat loss! Your body can use fat or glucose for fuel. Although stored fat is potential energy, you must lower your insulin to utilize it. Insulin resistance is at the root of many chronic illnesses and can negatively affect the liver, nervous system, immune system, and more. Low-calorie diets that don’t lower insulin are not sustainable. You won’t be able to achieve your goals if you're hungry, craving carbs, dealing with brain fog, high blood pressure, or other related issues. If you really want to lose weight, stop calorie counting! Try these 13 weight loss tips instead: 1 Don’t use pre-workout, sugary drinks, or protein bars. 2. Keep your carbs at around 10 to 20 grams per day. 3. No bright lights at night. 4. Get early morning sun. 5. Avoid late-night snacking. 6. Never buy junk food at the grocery store. Don’t shop while hungry! 7. Be cautious around social situations. 8. Walk after meals. 9. Don’t eat unless you’re hungry. 10. Prioritize healthy animal protein. 11. Consume apple cider vinegar before meals. 12. Avoid diets that keep you bloated. 13. Do periodic prolonged fasting.

...keto and IF (zero sugar, zero alcohol) for the win! From 225# to 121# yesterday. It took 2 years, but it has saved my life. I am 70+y.o. and have eliminated these problems from my life - I had them all: Female urinary incontinence Hypertension GERD PreDiabetes Osteopenia Multiple joint issues Insomnia Sleep apnea requiring CPAP Lethargy Depression .... a few more too They are all resolved. My bloodwork is that of a 40y.o. I play pickleball almost everyday. I look younger, have more energy, and feel terriffic. Never thought I could do it, but I did. Listen to this man, his teaching is 🎯 I have, since reaching my goal, added homemade L.reuteri yogurt and three fresh grapefruit/ week (the grapefruit are high carb) Maintaining now for over a year. I do take a handful of supplements too. YOU CAN DO THIS IF YOU REALLY WANT TO !!!! ThankYou Dr Berg for these videos!
