Fatty Liver Fix (Do This for 6 Days) — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00I'm going to show you a fatty liver fix
- 0:02that is so fast that it'll make your
- 0:04head spin.
- 0:05Within 6 days, less than a week, you can
- 0:08drop 31%
- 0:10of the fat from your liver. I'm going to
- 0:12show you how. Do you have to get an MRI
- 0:14at the hospital? No. Do you have to get
- 0:16an ultrasound? Not necessarily. There
- 0:18are simple things you can do to know if
- 0:21you have a fatty liver. If you have
- 0:22belly fat, what that fat is, it's called
- 0:24visceral fat, and that is fat that's
- 0:27spilled over from your liver filling up
- 0:30with fat. One of the challenges when you
- 0:32go to the doctor with fatty liver is
- 0:34they will tell you just to lose weight.
- 0:36That is not necessarily the best advice.
- 0:38I'm going to give you much better advice
- 0:41because a fatty liver is not a fat
- 0:43problem, it's a liver problem, and you
- 0:45have to know what to do to remove the
- 0:47fat off the liver. And out of all the
- 0:49parts of your body that are fat, the
- 0:51liver will shed the fat the fastest,
- 0:54which is the good news. The bad news,
- 0:55well, there's actually not bad news if
- 0:57you understand how to do it. So, I'm
- 0:59going to get into it right now. You
- 1:01don't get a fatty liver from just eating
- 1:03fat. You get it from eating a very
- 1:05specific type of sugar called fructose,
- 1:09mainly. The unique thing about fructose
- 1:11is that it can really only be
- 1:13metabolized by your liver, whereas
- 1:15glucose can be broken down and used by
- 1:18all of your cells. So, when you consume
- 1:21fructose, it can only be dealt with from
- 1:24this liver, and if you're consuming a
- 1:26lot of it, it can really not just fill
- 1:28up the liver with fat, it can damage the
- 1:30liver itself. So, in other words,
- 1:32fructose can be converted to fat in the
- 1:37liver, and then it creates damage,
- 1:39inflammation, and then that's what leads
- 1:41to the scar tissue. You know, we've been
- 1:43taught for 40 years to avoid fat, avoid
- 1:47red meat,
- 1:49told that we can actually do more
- 1:51carbohydrates and juice and pasta and
- 1:54cereals and crackers and biscuits. It
- 1:56was part of our food pyramid in the
- 1:58'90s.
- 1:59Very bad advice because that is what
- 2:02caused a non-alcoholic
- 2:05fatty liver disease. It's coming from
- 2:08the carbohydrates. And what's really
- 2:09wild about this is when you do an
- 2:11ultrasound or an MRI on the liver, they
- 2:13can detect how much that liver is filled
- 2:15with fat. But the good news is if you
- 2:17can catch it in time,
- 2:19there's a way to remove that fat
- 2:21extremely fast. But if you really don't
- 2:23know what to do, the fat will come right
- 2:24back and cause the same problem. But I'm
- 2:26going to show you what to do. There was
- 2:28a study put out by PNAS. Researchers
- 2:31took people with a fatty liver and put
- 2:33them on a very specific diet for less
- 2:35than a week, just 6 days. Measured the
- 2:37livers with an MRI before and after.
- 2:40Less than a week later, the liver fat
- 2:42had dropped on average by 31%. And you
- 2:46don't need to go get an MRI at this
- 2:48point. But by the end of this video,
- 2:50you'll know what to do, you'll know what
- 2:51to eat, you'll know what to avoid. But
- 2:53this is not about losing weight. This is
- 2:55about knowing what to do to turn down
- 2:57the dial of this fat dumping into the
- 2:59liver. Now, there's three simple ways to
- 3:01determine if you have fat in the liver.
- 3:04I've already mentioned the belly, okay?
- 3:06If your belly is protruded, but also the
- 3:08back of your neck. If you look in the
- 3:10mirror and you can look in the back of
- 3:13your neck. If your neck is darker or it
- 3:16feels very velvety and kind of like the
- 3:18skin is kind of thick, or
- 3:21your groin or your armpits have darkened
- 3:24skin and it has like a velvety type feel
- 3:27to it,
- 3:28suspect you have a fatty liver or skin
- 3:32tags. All three of these indicate you
- 3:35have high insulin. And if you have high
- 3:37insulin,
- 3:39you're going to have a fatty liver.
- 3:42So, the question is why?
- 3:43Well, high insulin causes a lot of
- 3:46storage of fat, especially in the liver.
- 3:50And what happens when the liver gets
- 3:52damaged because of all the refined
- 3:54carbohydrates, you develop resistance
- 3:57against insulin. So, what that means in
- 4:01simple terms, the pancreas that's making
- 4:03insulin
- 4:04has no turn off and it starts just
- 4:07flooding the body with so much insulin
- 4:10that excess insulin just causes a
- 4:12massive storage of fat on the liver. If
- 4:15your environment is off, everything else
- 4:17struggles. It's like a fish tank.
- 4:19Pollute the water and the fish gets
- 4:20sick. You could feed them the best food.
- 4:22You can treat every single symptom, but
- 4:24if the water stays toxic, nothing
- 4:26recovers. The body runs on 10 signals
- 4:29like insulin, cortisol, inflammation,
- 4:31sleep quality, gut function. Every one
- 4:34of them affects how you feel. But there
- 4:36is always one signal that is more broken
- 4:38than the rest and until you fix that
- 4:40one, everything else stay stuck. I built
- 4:43a free 2-minute quiz that finds it for
- 4:45you. It tells you which one of the main
- 4:46signals is holding your body back right
- 4:49now. Click the link in the description,
- 4:51take the quiz, and stop guessing. Now, I
- 4:53want you to do something. You can either
- 4:54pause the video right now or do this at
- 4:57the end of the video, but I want you to
- 4:59take a tape measure and measure around
- 5:01your waist at the level of the belly
- 5:03button and you're going to write down
- 5:06that number. 2 days later, we're going
- 5:08to measure it again
- 5:09and then in 72 hours, it's 3 days,
- 5:11you're going to measure it and then in 6
- 5:14days, you're going to measure it
- 5:16and at 6 days, it should be at least 2
- 5:19in
- 5:20smaller. But at 48 hours, you should see
- 5:23at least a half an inch shrinkage in
- 5:26your midsection. What's fascinating
- 5:28about people with liver damage is they
- 5:30don't usually die of liver failure. They
- 5:33usually die of either a heart attack or
- 5:36a stroke. Why? Because the same thing
- 5:39that's causing inflammation in the liver
- 5:41is also creating inflammation in your
- 5:43arteries. These refined carbohydrates
- 5:45and sugars are not just doing to the
- 5:47liver, they're doing it to the entire
- 5:49body. As you do this, you just might
- 5:51find that if you have high blood
- 5:53pressure, that's going to start coming
- 5:55down. If you have higher cholesterol,
- 5:57that'll start balancing out. If you have
- 5:59fatigue, you'll start having more
- 6:01energy. If you have sleep apnea, you're
- 6:03going to find that's doing much better.
- 6:05But, the problem with the fatty liver is
- 6:07there's not a lot of symptoms. You can
- 6:09visually see it by these indicators, but
- 6:12people don't usually feel it until the
- 6:14later stages. So, a lot of people ask
- 6:16me, "What supplements do I recommend?"
- 6:19Now, of course, I'm not biased of my own
- 6:21high-quality supplement line, but if you
- 6:22go to Amazon and type Dr. Berg
- 6:24supplements,
- 6:25you'll find more information. This is
- 6:27based on some research. I'm going to put
- 6:28the links down below. But, in one study,
- 6:31liver fat began to drop in just 2 days
- 6:35by restricting carbohydrates. Second
- 6:38study, the Children's Experiment, UCSF
- 6:42researchers took 41 kids with fatty
- 6:44liver, kept their calories exactly the
- 6:47same. Okay, not less, not more.
- 6:50One thing they did change, they swapped
- 6:52out fructose
- 6:54for starch. Now, starch
- 6:58is mainly glucose. But, 9 days later, a
- 7:01little longer than a week,
- 7:03using an MRI showed that the liver fat
- 7:06dropped almost 50% in these children.
- 7:09And so, I just want to emphasize it's
- 7:11not really good for you, and especially
- 7:13your kids, to drink
- 7:15juice. Of course, the obvious one is the
- 7:17soda, especially with the high fructose
- 7:19corn syrup. That's like really bad. But,
- 7:21juice isn't much better, okay? Kids,
- 7:24adults need to avoid it. Why? Because
- 7:26it's loaded with fructose. Now, the
- 7:28third study, which is surprising for a
- 7:29lot of people, involves coffee. Yeah. A
- 7:32study following over 200,000 adults
- 7:35compared coffee drinkers
- 7:37with non-coffee drinkers, okay? And
- 7:40people that drink coffee had a 46% lower
- 7:42risk of dying from chronic liver
- 7:44disease. That's mind-blowing, right?
- 7:46It's the polyphenols in the coffee. Of
- 7:48course, you don't want to add sugar to
- 7:50your coffee, but coffee is somewhat
- 7:52protective. Now, I'm not pushing coffee,
- 7:55but personally I am addicted to it. I
- 7:56only drink one a day, but it does tend
- 7:59to support liver function. I would
- 8:01recommend drinking organic coffee though
- 8:03because they do use a lot of pesticides.
- 8:06The polyphenols, which are plant-based
- 8:08chemicals in coffee, are
- 8:09anti-inflammatory. So, if someone does
- 8:12have inflammation, it can kind of help
- 8:13lower that. Study four, which has to do
- 8:15with walking, and this is from Penn
- 8:17State researchers who pulled 14
- 8:20different studies over 550 patients, all
- 8:23had MRIs, and they found it reduced
- 8:25liver fat by 30% on average, okay?
- 8:28Without any significant weight loss.
- 8:31When you walk, you actually improve the
- 8:33function of the liver, which is
- 8:34fascinating. Okay, what can you do to
- 8:37drop fat off your liver very fast?
- 8:39Number one, you want to reduce your
- 8:41carbohydrates, especially bringing your
- 8:44fructose down to zero. So, lowering your
- 8:47carbs below 20 g per day is going to be
- 8:52probably the most powerful significant
- 8:54thing you could possibly do. Number two,
- 8:57three egg yolks a day, okay? I would
- 9:00recommend eating the whole egg,
- 9:02but the egg yolks are filled with
- 9:04choline. That accelerates the removal of
- 9:08fat from your liver. So, I want you to
- 9:09consume three eggs for your breakfast,
- 9:11but I wouldn't even have a breakfast. I
- 9:13would have
- 9:14that for your first meal at lunch
- 9:16because I want you to consume only two
- 9:18meals a day with no snacks. That's just
- 9:20going to take it to the next level and
- 9:22speed it up even faster. Number three,
- 9:25one coffee a day, but just realize that
- 9:27coffee can reduce the inflammation. I
- 9:30would not recommend adding sugar, but
- 9:34you can add some cream. And number four,
- 9:37a 20-minute walk every single day. So,
- 9:41you know the basics.
- 9:43The devil's in the details. How do you
- 9:45do the healthy version of a low-carb
- 9:48diet?
- 9:49That information is in this video right
- 9:51here. Check it out.
