Dr. Eric Berg, a weight loss specialist, revealed 10 "very easy" tips for burning fat:
1. **Animal Proteins**
To lose weight, Berg recommends keeping carbohydrate intake low and consuming a moderate amount of protein. Surprisingly, he advises not to worry about fats. He suggests eating a moderate amount of animal proteins, about the size of your palm for women and double that for men. The metabolic key that allows you to utilize your fats is determined by the number of carbohydrates you consume, which should be kept under 50 grams. Eating the fats that usually come with proteins will help curb hunger.
2. **Choose Carbohydrates from Vegetables**
Opt for carbohydrates in the form of leafy vegetables and salads, as this will increase your fiber intake without complicating carbohydrate counting.
3. **Only Eat When You're Hungry**
Berg notes that once you reduce carbohydrate consumption, your body will leverage more fat, and you won't feel hunger as you did before.
4. **Exercise Instead of Snacking**
His fourth tip is to incorporate exercise throughout your day. For instance, if you work a lot on the computer, take breaks every hour to walk for five minutes. Seize every opportunity for more physical activity.
5. **Avoid Fast Food at Home**
Berg emphasizes that it is very important not to give in to temptation or keep fast food at home.
6. **Avoid Tempting Places**
It's not enough to avoid fast food at home; you should also resist temptations when you are out.
7. **Avoid Dead Food**
Berg defines dead food as either canned, overcooked, or highly refined foods.
8. **Cold Therapy**
He mentions that your body must work harder in a cold environment to increase its temperature, which means it will start burning a significant amount of calories.
9. **Avoid Glyphosate**
Beyond dead foods, you should also avoid processed foods with glyphosate, an active herbicide ingredient. Berg explains that glyphosate acts as an antibiotic and can disturb the microbes in your gut, easily leading to inflammation. Wheat products and non-organic foods contain glyphosate. Therefore, when you buy commercial chicken or beef, consider what they are fed: grains.
10. **Apple Cider Vinegar**
Finally, the expert advises adding apple cider vinegar to your shopping list, as it indirectly helps with weight loss without requiring extra effort.
