The Fastest Way to Lose Belly Fat

DR. ERIC BERG
About this episode

Today, I’m going to share a few weight loss tips that will help you tap into fat-burning very quickly. Weight loss can be simple if you utilize the right techniques!


1. Follow a keto diet—consume the right fats and the right types of protein.

A keto diet is low in carbs, but there are some specific guidelines you should follow to lose weight quickly. Avoid omega-6 fatty acids found in seed oils like corn oil, soy oil, cottonseed oil, canola oil, safflower oil, and sunflower oil.


Consumption of these ultra-processed, highly inflammatory seed oils directly correlates with obesity rates. Seed oils are often hidden in salad dressings and fast food and can even be found in animal feed.


It’s also important to choose the correct proteins on keto. Opt for high-quality proteins like grass-fed, grass-finished beef and wild-caught fish.


2. Eat a large salad every day.

A large salad each day provides potassium, magnesium, folate, vitamin C, and phytonutrients. If your salad greens are grown in healthy, living soil, the salad also provides probiotics. This helps diversify the microbiome, helping you to lose weight quickly.


If you have gut issues, consume fermented vegetables or eliminate vegetables altogether.


3. Combine the ketogenic diet with intermittent fasting.

To lose fat quickly, combine keto with intermittent fasting. Dropping to one meal per day (OMAD) yields the fastest results.


On one meal a day, you will fast for 23 hours. This gets your body adapted to running on fat very quickly. You’ll also notice cognitive improvements, positive mood changes, and decreased inflammation.


4. Exercise regularly, but don’t overdo it!

Walking and HIIT are the best exercises to lose belly fat fast. Walking every day speeds up weight loss, reduces stress, and improves sleep. Improved sleep reduces cortisol and enhances growth hormones, both of which are necessary for weight loss.


HIIT exercise involves short, intense workouts that work all muscle groups. Do not overdo it with exercise! You only need to do HIIT 1 to 3 days per week.
