Episode notes
Hormones Decide Where Calories Go
- Calories affect the body differently because hormones like insulin direct where energy goes.
- High insulin from carbs stores calories as fat while low insulin allows calories to be burned.
Patients’ 'Little Carbs' Stopped Weight Loss
- Dr. Berg recalls patients claiming "just a little carbs" while still eating wine and bread.
- Those small carbs raised insulin and temporarily shut off fat burning, stopping weight loss.
Stress And Sleep Affect Fat Burning
- Stress and cortisol indirectly raise insulin and impair fat burning.
- Most fat burning occurs during deep sleep, so poor sleep undermines weight loss.
