Dr. Berg talks about ketosis and answers the question: Is ketosis safe long term.
Running your body on ketones is very safe compared to running your body on glucose. Glucose is a dirty fuel and leaves residue. But the brain responds very well to ketones. Ketones are one of the original fuel sources. Running your body on ketones is running on fat and essential fatty acids. Glucose and carbs are not essential.
You need vegetable carbs for vitamins and minerals and trace minerals. Ketogenic acidosis occurs only in a severe diabetic type 1 situation. You do not lose muscle mass when you consume ketones. In fact, the ketogenic diet preserves your proteins and muscles. This is due to the growth hormone (GH). Diabetics lose muscle mass due to an insulin problem. Insulin also lowers GH growth hormone.
Too much insulin will deplete potassium, magnesium and B-vitamins, and calcium due to insulin resistance.
Your body makes a lot of cholesterol, so adding more fat to a ketogenic diet will just cause it to make less. Insulin is the hormone that makes cholesterol and triglycerides.
Regarding kidney stones, ketosis is safe and running your body on foods high in oxalates (spinach, beans, grains) all increase kidney stones.

Dr. Berg, I want to personally thank you for saving my life. I happened to stumble upon your videos about 1 year and a half ago, I was 378 pounds, and out of control. To say I was addicted to sugar would be the understatement of a lifetime. I had just done a blood test around that time. I was pre-diabetic with my fasted blood sugar around 115 mml, and my cholesterol was terrible. I started a ketogenic eating regime based on your videos. Exactly one year later I was tested again. My weight had dropped to 299, 79 pounds lost. My blood fasting blood sugar dropped to the 70s. My Cholesterol leveled out, and I've never felt better. Until I told my doctor how how I lost the weight. He immediately scolded me telling me how terrible it was and that I should stop it immediately. Scared, I left his office with the fear that if I continued Keto long term I would end up dead. I though that maybe if I started to incorporate "healthy" carbs into my diet that I would still be able to loose weight and be healthy. I gave it 2 months before I was back up to 340 pounds. I was furious. I went back on keto 4 months ago, and a few minutes ago I weighed myself at 269. I was so excited I could have cried. I have never felt better in my entire life. You broke me free from my addiction to sugar. I no longer eat fast food, I know longer drink soda, and I went from being a borderline alcoholic, to being sober. It seems I used to drink to get over the pain of being fat, my life is so much better now that I know longer need the alcohol. At the time I am writing this, your video has 18 thumbs down. I'm sorry, to the people who dislike this video, I'd really like to know why. This man changed my life. I'm keto for life. The benefits are amazing, my mental focus is the best it's ever been, I can exercise for hours with no sugar crashes, and it gives me an edge at work. After lunch everyone falls asleep at their desk from riding the insulin high, and I'm still bright eyed and bushy tailed hitting the sales floor. Thanks again Dr Berg. I love your videos! P.S. your keto pizza is amazing.
Tom Cavins please stay away from the medical industrial mafia. Doctors know very little about nutrition
This is brilliant! Has Dr. Berg seen this? Way to go Tom, good for you :-)
Don't Be A Psycho thank! Not sure if he has. Either way the man is incredible. :)
Yep. Didn't take me long to be convinced that he was. Discovered him last week when researching intermittent fasting. Been doing it and keto since then based on his vids. Although according to my keto tests strips I'm not in ketosis yet. Will see what happens when I do!
Tom Cavins the reason you started gaining weight again when you got off keto was because you where taking in more calories than your body was burning, not because you weren't on keto. Whether you're on keto or not it doesn't matter how you lose weight, as long as you're in a caloric deficit then you're gonna lose weight. You can lose weight eating nothing but McDonald's and cookies just as long as you're in a caloric deficit. You gained weight again cause you where in a caloric surplus
I have been binge watching this guy - has anyone else noticed that he is passionate about this - awesome
Well duh, it is his main breadwinner, he makes millions on this
Has anyone else noticed he never backs any of his absolutely batshit wild claims with research or evidence of any kind? People like this muddy the waters and are directly responsible for how ridiculously confusing the world of health and nutrition are and he does a major disservice to the field.
Dr Berg is the best! Keto for life! 😋😍
Me too, I love his videos, Dr. Berg is doing a great job :)
He’s smart, intelligent, knowledgeable, articulate and passionate.. he has all ! He’s my favorite one!
I agree, I've lost 134 lbs on Keto and Kept it off for over 7 years now! Never been healthier! 💪😆🖒
AlvinaRayne AlvinaRayne Glad it works for you! May I ask do you do Standard keto or do "refeeds"? Thanks!
AlvinaRayne that is so amazing I am so happy for you. I have been intermittent fasting for 3 weeks now doing an 8 and 16. and I have only lost 5 lb do you have any tips and what am I doing wrong I'm only eating about a cup of vegetables a day
is it fine from hair growth perspective? i mean i read people saying when one do keto for long hair fall happen or hair got thin? what you say????
jeremy beverly and
AlvinaRayne that's admirable. I'm trying to decide if I can even do this diet. Having the discipline to do it long enough to lose that much is great. Congratulations girl. Enjoy the new rockin bod
Thank you Dr Berg for saving my life ... 60 days of KETO Vs 44 years of my earlier life ... No comparison ... I feel so healthy ... U have changed my life ... Our entire family thank you from the bottom of our heart ...
Dude ! i almost cried
A co worker expressed her concerns about when I went Keto. I had to bite my tongue because I wanted to ask her “wow… I know you care but… where was this concern for me when I was 80 some odd lbs heavier and eating cookies, chips, candy, ect?”
Great point! I think that person was just jealous of your results. Way to go, man!
I’ve been doing clean Keto for 2 years and never felt this healthy ever in my life seriously
Same, 14 months in.
How did you transition? And did you have any keto flu?
Cheese eater?
Because you give up unhealthy carbs people think the healthiest people eat healthy carbs.
Keto is not got long term
I'm 3weeks in and i feel great i feel ten years younger
J Rob are following a specific plan? please share
J Rob How are you doing now? And what plan do you follow?
Yeah how about an update a year later? No one ever seems to come back with anything more than a couple months to a few days.
Nice! Everyone who does keto properly (everyone's body is different) always says that they feel younger and more energetic and mental clarity. I've done a keto-carnivor diet lately with little to no sweeteners artificial or natural and very little dairy and little veggies just brocolli and asparagus and lettuce and mainly beef chicken pork and eggs avocados olives olive oil pecans lots of steaks and wings. To each their own because nobody's own keto plan is one size fits all, listen to your body and do what feels right. I feel little to no gas going ketovore keto w veggies I get more gas but more carnivore style reduces all gas nearly
Lemons and green leafy vegetables give us the balance of nutrients we need on a keto diet! This is Vital information guys in order to be healthy.
Thank u
Fascinating. And i love that daily as my salad. Good news
eileenfb1948 thank you so much for this I’m new to the keto diet so this I will do for sure
lemons? I'm sparing with my lemon juice as it does have some carbs in it. How much lemon do you eat/drink?
Too much lemon will give you acid reflux because it makes your stomach acid to alkaline
Great information. I am 25 days into a ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting daily 18-24 hours and feel great. I don't get hungry, lift and run completely fasted, sleep deeply 7 hours a night, and feel more calm generally speaking. I have lost 12 pounds and 3 inches around my stomach. This is so easy that I wonder why more people are unable to do it.
Hi Michael. Still doing keto? I am struggling with this diet.:) Thanks
The average person wants to be comfortable at all costs, +5 hours without eating feels like starving to them. They rather sit and drink liquid sugar by a straw
@@user-zt6mb7nf3i What do you eat that you say you struggle?
@@JoaoChimay Before going on keto I was already doing OMAD so the transition is rather easy.
Did you go for a month? Im planning on 29 days. I currently eat 3 eggs and an orange. Im 3 days in and considering doing 14 days instead
I have lost 20lbs in the last 6 weeks by practicing your teachings. I have looked for someone that talks about Keto in Spanish, since it’s my primary language, but they always emphasize that there is something wrong with Keto. I come from a Mexican background where all we know is to consume refined carbohydrates and loads of sugar. I talked to my family and friends about what I learned from your videos but they don’t want to listen since the doctors and nutritionist don’t talk about health but give pills to “help” an issue (all of us have something weight problems, high blood pressure, thyroid, cholesterol, etc) Great job Doc! Keep up the good work, and thank you for sharing :) Oh, I was thinking on going back to college to get my AA in Psychology but I’m changing it and to Nutrition, I think I’ll be able to help more people this way if I can teach them about health and the benefit of a healthy life style.
R u still doing keto ?
Most latinos are way too stubborn

John Snow My dna is mostly Spanish, French and Portuguese...I’ve been on keto for close to 3 months now. Why do you feel keto is what caused your stroke?
Day 41. The food is amazing. Every day feels like a cheat day. Down 20 pounds.
Are you counting calories?

*As someone who has been on a ketogenic diet for several years, I found this video on the safety of ketosis in the long term to be reassuring. Great insights!*
One of the original reasons I switched to a keto lifestyle is to control my adult ADD. It has completely changed my life and I no longer have any issues or symptoms.
Isn't it amazing?! Same for me! A lot of people will tell me that this so-called mental clarity is imagined, but if you have never lived with ADD, you don't know how other-worldly it is to live free of fatique, lack of focus, fuzziheadedness, etc. Congrats!
Lacie Lew and Brennan Bourne - I don’t have ADD, but it has changed my life too! I used to have times in some afternoons where I literally couldn’t get anything done because of my brain fog. I also became very drowsy when driving for more than a couple hours. 48 years old, keto 3 months since Sep 30. Now I am sharp and productive all day! I am totally focused and alert on long driving trips. No way is this imagined! 🙂💪👍
Same here. I've been on Ritalin for 15 years and now I no longer need it.
Same
Every time I turn around you answer a question I have in my head! Amazing!
I started eating Keto just by chance, i had gained alot of weight, tired, etc and thought what is the best way to lose weght and become healthy, how did humans eat for thousands of years? Veggies, meat, no sugar low carb came to mind, plus one meal a day a couple times a week. Since September i lost 105lbs, gained muscle/strength, look much better, better skin, feel great. In the bedroom department, better libido ,size increase, hardness increase with much better O's..
Cured my ED
Wanna be a Rock Star in the bedroom....keto 4 Life!
I feel better mentally and physically while in ketosis. Thank you so much Dr. Berg!
Mrs. U no more anxiety and depression!!
@@mimidyantyi8727 thats right god damn ketosis is all i want for my life 😍
Yep. Keto is God's gift to take charge of our own health and Dr. Berg is one of His emissaries. Thanks Dr. Berg!
dude , i trust you look very young .I saw a bald man with big eyes advocating against keto , he wasn t looking good
The way he says it. You can hear all day, so calm, so knowledgeable. Love these Dr
I’ve learned more from him than I’ve learned from my PCP over 8 years. It’s nice to listen to a doctor who is passionate and who takes his time and appears to care genuinely. He’s so personable and a wealth of knowledge. Love Dr. Berg! Thank you.❤️
I totally agree
I love that you have the white board for guidance! It helps me to read it as you're speaking, great idea.
This guy didn't even study basic biology.
I feel sorry for people that are following his advice.
Even a fake Doctor like Dr (lol) Berg should know that a high fat diet leads to high lipids (fats) and high lipoprotein (cholesterol), leading to arteriosclerosis (hardening and narrowing of arteries). Everyone that tried this nonsense advise had issues. Go ahead and try it. Be my guest.
(Have you even wandered why he never bring up REAL researchers on his simplistic patronising videos? Oh... I don't know... Maybe because all researchers on Ketogenic diet have shown the same side effects that he just told his followers, and said that there is nothing to worry about...
I wish I had him as my professor in masters, he explains logics very well and make them sound interesting.
Alright, I have been researching this for a couple months, many different sources, had my information confirmed and now I'm ready to take the leap. Let's do this!!
Dr.Berg, would you ever consider making a all inclusive and comprehensive DVD on the whole Ketosis thing?
Like an all in one, information manual? That you could sell via your website.
That would be outstanding!
I would recommend that DVD to ALL my clients at the gym . Thank you
Dr.Berg, ya the best sir. Thank ya so very much for everything. I'm in love with keto diet.
I blindly follow what ever you say in ya videos.
All of Dr. Robert Atkins books on the subject are good and readily available at Amazon ! As a P.S. Someone asked me in a reply if this is the same Dr. Robert Atkins that died of a 'heart attack'. He did NOT die of a heart attack as his critics love to boast! But rather a severe head injury as a result of slipping on the ice on the way to his clinic at the tender young age of 72. He was a board certified cardiologist BTW. RIP to a man who was brave enough to buck the system and ask right questions!
who is this... Shabda Pramana ?
YESS! That would be amazing!
Thanks to you
Started at 210lbs
I've lost 25 lbs in the last 7 weeks. I feel so energetic. Able to pull through a whole day without thinking of food, cycling 30k in a stretch without stop.
My uric acid levels have surprisingly reduced after the first three weeks.
So glad I can finally get of the sugar wagon. Came to this video concerned about the long term effects of keto. I planned for 12 weeks initially. I think I'll keep it going.
Thank you Dr Berg, I now believe Keto is the healthier way forward to improve all the health issues which mankind inherited from sugar consumption. Spread the word all over!!
Been on keto and IF for 7 months and it’s giving me all the benefits and daily work out performance is getting even better! It’s definitely gonna stay for long term!
Daym. Just going for 1 month here and I thought that was a long time
Been Keto for 4.5 Months now, and am down 40lbs. Prior to starting at ketogenic lifestyle, I had an egg allergy and required an epi pen as my throat would close almost instantly. I am happy to say that I now eat eggs several times per week with no issue! I was also supposed to have surgery, for another reason that I was able to cancel and I feel is no longer needed. Sadly not much support from friends as everyone thinks I am being so unhealthy, and that is disappointing as I have never felt better, and now nobody supports or will even ask. I am proud of myself and have never felt better. The funny thing is that it is clear that they think that this lifestyle is unhealthy long term, but coming from where I was, living off junk food, wasn't an issue.
Anywhooo ...Is it common to heal from anaphylactic allergies by following a ketogenic lifestyle?
Worlds best Dr all ways just Amazing Videos every time thanks Dr Berg..
Thanks Mick

I'm doing ketosis since 8 days and I'm doing great! I want to do it forever and I hope it's true is not dangerous 😊 thanks for this video
Dr.Eric, I extremely appreciate you for saving my life.I know about you just six days ago.Thanks again for your care. I will follow you for ever.
Thank you for this video. I just told my doctor I'm on the keto diet and she said it was dangerous. I'm guessing she meant its dangerous to her and big pharma.

@Top student.
Read the book the Obesity Code by Dr Jason Fung to get enlightened.
You have been fooled by big pharma.
@@constanceolson80 Do you really believe that all Medical Schools in all Countries (even Communist Countries like China and Russia) are owned by "Big Pharma", seriously? lol Do you believe that all Biologists, Biochemists, Nurses, Dietitians and many other professionals are part of a huge conspiracy theory against human health. What kind of drugs are you taking?
Insulin Resistance caused by sugar consumption causes inflammation. I love the Keto way of eating. Thank you for helping me with very clear information. I am 63, diabetic type 2, and way overweight. I appreciate the video on eating too much fat, I think that is why I am not losing weight very quickly.
Just the exact words I want to hear, many thanks!😊
Spot on! Thank you for the in-depth explanation doctor.
I've been doing Keto for a week now, first few days were a bit tough but on the third day I started feeling AMAZING. Full of energy, weight loss, I feel full in between meals, way less cravings and such.
In one week I have lost 4kg (8.82 pounds) and I feel better than ever.
This is truly a game changer for me and my wife!
Thank you Dr. Berg.. I've lost 40+ pounds, been on keto for 2 months. Feeling so much healthier and happier.
I agree I've lost 135lbs been doing Keto for 2 years and I was a pre diabetic, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and now I'm healthier then ever 👊🏻💪 Keto power
Are you still doing great
@Daredevil how do you know
Keto long-term is such an important question. Nice analogy with electric fuel...that was great!
The way you explain keto diet is much better than this other people I've been following in order to learn about keto.
Thank you for all the info in your videos that clearly explain and justify the reccomendations you give.
I feel my life has been transformed from following much of the advice you have given
I have removed sugar and drastically reduced carbs along with moving to 2 meals a day with no snacking between Meals.
I've lost 14 kg and feel great. No hunger craving and no loss of energy. In fact I have more energy.
Thanks again. For all your dedication to changing perceptions on what is actually damaging our lifestyles
Dr.Berg you are such a blessing to the world. The information is so informative for us to make better decisions for our health. may you and your practice continue to prosper.Thank you so much for sharing in a simple way that we can understand
In 2 weeks time, keto has improved my mental clarity! My husband even calls me "the ultimate housewife "! Lol...I have been getting up before dawn everyday to prepare food for my husband and kids (I eat once a day), and I have been cleaning and organizing everything. I have even starting making to do lists and planning so that I can stay on top of things. I am so grateful to God for pointing me in the direction of Keto and I'm thankful for all of your information Dr. Berg!
Wondering if you have ever checked out Dr.Jason Fung here in Canada? I'm learning a lot from the two of you. Thanks so much for all the information you share.There are so many doctors out there with conflicting information that we just have to do our own homework. This finally is starting to make sense to me....
Thanks for your patient explanations and short teaching videos! You teach with perfect precision. Go keto!!
Babies until their first milk meal are on ketosis. I’ve been on a kerogenic diet for two years now. I feel awesome.
I've been maintaining a keto woe for over a year with semi annual breaks. My question is not whether or not Keto is healthy long term, but whether or not you can cause your body to become lactose or gluten intolerant over time.
You rock! Thank you for being thorough and professional!
As always, great advice. Thanks for sharing!
I started Keto from several years and lost 15 lbs then I said maybe I need go normal no Keto because it might be dangerous over long term. After few years from stopping Keto I had very hard times losing weight because I gain 20 lbs. Now I am not scared to go back all my life to Keto life style forever relaxed and healthy:) thanks doctor!
Thank you Dr. Berg for removing my misconception about Ketogenic diet. My FBS used to be 200 mg/ dl but now it's 103. I have started a ketoganic meal plan. tremendous change.
God bless you!
Dr Eric berg is amazing thankyou for explaining ketosis clear ..I feel alive again
Dr Eric Berg, thanks for all your advice. It really works and I wanted to share my story with you. I weighed 145 Kg (5ft 11inch) a month ago and I have been following your advice and I am now 136 kg. I also have Acanthosis Nigricans which is getting lighter.
My Breakfast is limewater with salt + Carrots+ cabbage+tomato+some greens + 3eggs omelette with butter and sprinkled cheese.
Lunch is limewater with salt + Carrots+ cabbage+tomato+some greens +chicken or fish seared with butter.
early Dinner is light with some cheese and Carrots+ cabbage+tomato+some greens or yoghurt and nuts.
Before I sleep I drink some diluted vinegar.
I am not hungry and I am very energised, I think I am definitely in ketosis and caloric deficit. Plus I have been exercising and building muscle. Everything is coming together :)
Thanks so much.
I started the B vitamins that you told me to take for my cold feet. It definitely is helping! thanks for all you do
How much vitamin B you take please?
Thanks
"Ketogenic is the only way to be healthy long term". That sounds like a yes then
I started watching your videos because your voice is so soothing. And now I am on ketosis! 😀
Dr. Berg is simply phenomenal! I really appreciate his truthfulness and accuracy of his information. Dr. Berg is honest and informative! Thanks Dr. Berg! Keto has changed my life forever!
Dr Berg thank you, your videos are excellent. I've been doing the keto diet since June (thanks to YOU!) and have lost a ton of weight and feel great, have more energy, mental clarity, etc. I tested my blood results and after 4 months and my cholesterol went down, and other surprisingly good outcomes. Liver and kidney also improved. My question: what about the pancreas? Is keto good or bad for the pancreas? I would think having it produce less insulin would be a good thing, but I have also heard that keto can cause pancreatitis...thank you in advance.
I appreciate Dr. Berg content and enjoy watching it. I personally stoped Keto because I was getting too skinny.
Im skinny too. What are you doing now after one year?
Yeah, I dont want to lose more weight but would like to fast more. How is that done?
It makes all the sense in the world to me right now because my diet has changed for the most part towards the way the body will run when one changes the diet towards what Mr. Berg is speaking of here.
I have been doing following since last 5 days & have come down from 108.1 kg on Monday to 105.4 kg on Saturday morning (wud ve lost water weight mostly). Next week may start loosing fats :
Keto with caloric deficit
Intermittent fasting (16:8)
1 hr weight training in gym(morning)
1 hr walk from office to home
thank you Dr. Berg ! You're amazing ♥
Hi Dr. Berg 🤗 . . . quick question, is IF safe LONG-TERM ¿ Please help ¡
yes
Thank you for this video...very helpful!
Great videos Dr Berg!! Precise, to the point & easy to watch. Keep it up!! :)
During Keto I couldn't sleep and my eyes felt real itchy and I looked very tired and sick.
mike rurambo yes that's going sound like the "cold turkey effect" when your body's changing after coming of sugars
I really hate that us Keto folk get lumped in with the low carb crowd. Low carb can be harmful. They are basically still running on sugar but chronically running low on fuel. Keto is different. You run on a new fuel source and there's plenty of it!
this guy is simply great. sometimes i disagree with what he says, but the disagreements are almost always extremely minor. if the truth be told, i am a great believer in the keto approach, and have become an ambassador for it, encouraging people to follow it whenever i can
Thank you so much.
Means so so much just to me that you are helping us. I know others are so thankful as well, hearing your insights everyday is so great for me, and just your voice alone puts me in this healthy mood, again thanks so much
So I shouldn't eat too much spinach on keto diet? I usually eat around 1/3 pound of spinach a day
Eat spinach it’s fine but also eat other green veggies so that you get all kinds of vitamins and minerals. Cabbage, kale, Swiss chard, etc
Do ketosis imbalances hormonal cycle.....do menses stop forever on ketosis.. or they are delayed?? sir plz reply..i m asking this for the third time..
No, never
Great Info Doc, thanks !!
Once again a fantastic video laid out in simple terms for everyone to understand! Thank you Dr Berg!
What about gall stone? Does ketogenic diet can lead to gall stone (cholelithiasis) ? Thx
Vitamin k2 deficiency leads to gall stones and kidney stones.
England preferred to save Jamaica for its rich sugarcane plantation instead of fighting the American revolution.
Sugar is a killer.
Amazing video! Thank you so much for your research and great posts Dr. Berg!
Thanks for the vid! very informative!
What happens when people sudden take glucose after a long term keto diet, plz explain dr. Berg
They become carb sensitive and might take some time to acclimate to a different diet.
Dr Berg, I have been on Ketosis for about 2 months now. I have great energy levels and concentration. I have however noticed significant deterioration in my sleep. Are there any supplements that I can take to help with this? Additionally would you be able to scientifically explain why I am experiencing insomnia due to the diet?
Sebastian Polczynski eat more magnesium
Thanks for making this video. Definitely clears up a lot of misconceptions surrounding ketosis. What about gluconeogenesis? It's the most dangerous word in keto vocabulary. Is it dangerous and what does it actually does?
Keto for life... and excited to take my first group through a soft launch introductin into Keto Way of Eating. You explained it great thank you!
Never eating fruit or root vegetables ever seems unfathomable to me.
Michele L did someone tell you you can't ever eat fruit or roots on the ketogenic diet? You can in moderation. Most people do between 20-50g of carbs a day from vegetables and I personally include a lot of berries,(avocado, blueberry, strawberry) which are high in nutrition and low in carbs. You can also do targeted ketosis allowing you to eat even more carbohydrates based around your workouts.
EatBikeRaveRepeat I had a coworker who only ate bell peppers and salsa as her vegetables. Sometimes lettuce. Otherwise, it was cheese, eggs, other dairy products, and meat. She lost a lot of weight, but I can’t imagine that kind of eating is healthy?
Amber Eff she’s definitely not eating enough nutrients. Gotta eat leafy greens and fibrous vegetables to negate those risks.
Amber Eff no. Who said it was lol. People eat what they want.
Amber Eff very unhealthy she will have serious health problems down the road
Is ketosis harmful long term for teenagers? I've been doing a keto diet for a week or so. I feel amazing and my skin has never been this clear. I usually eat 20g net carbs a day sometimes less or more. I'm very sensitive to carbohydrates such as bread, pasta, and other processed carbs. My parents are concerned about my body when I'm eating high fat and low carb.
Tezzie Lou im worried toó! i feel my hormones are out of wack ...
Mamobo Ogoro
Yeah I'm concerned about that too. Like I said, I feel great but I would be upset if I thought something was going on inside my body that is harmful.
Tezzie Lou yah same .... there is not much info on young women doing keto who don't have PCOS ....
You probably need more trace minerals such as magnesium and potassium. Magnesium oil will definitely stabilize your hormones.
maybe try taking multivitamins to make sure your body gets all the things it needs to grow.
Great video Dr Eric. This has solved all my problems 😀
I totally agree with this , especially I am now better informed about ketosis.
my great grand father lived 94 years. had no illness, all teeth intact, no vision problem etc. he was vegetarian, ate grains, veggies, fruits and legumes, on time everyday. so above mentioned diet is NOT the ONLY way to remain healthy in long term. i trust Dr Michael Greger on nutrition and plant based diet , as that kind of diet works and i have seen it.
Everybody is different if that worked just because it’s more then one way to stay healthy
he had good genes and probably had double foxo proteins
If you do veganism right, yes, it can be healthy. It can also be unhealthy. And as was mentioned, your great grandfather lived in a time when hard work was the norm and the food wasn't spliced, mixed, and Frankensteined. Soil was richer and there were no chemicals, sprays and GMO all over the grains and vegetables. Many ketoers don't disparage veganism. They disparage VEGANS because vegans refuse to consider that keto is healthy for you. They are adamant that anybody who eats saturated fat (or lots of fat) and meat are going to get heart disease and die. This is complete BS but they demonize it and anyone who is on keto.
My dads grandpa lived over 100 and he smoked from 15 to die. So smoking is good? Plus that diet u tell is what Steve Jobs did and died of cancer.
Hi dr berg.
What do you do when you get to your weight goal. Do you still stay in keto or do you slowly up the carbs? Hope you can answer
You stay on it. This is not a diet it's a life style change.
So thankful for your content!!!
U keep me motivated and informed thank u!!!!
We've been so brainwashed over the years to think that carbs should be part of our diet that people have that question is it safe long-term.... if we were eating correctly the first time, this question would never come up
Carbohydrates have been a staple foods in human diet for thousands of years! Healthy carbs don't make you fat. On the contrary, they can even help you lose weight.
Hi Dr. Berg,
I've lost my period since I've started Keto 3 months ago. Am I doing something wrong?
(I am only 20 by the way)
Thanks!
sue sue hello. are your problems fixed now?
maybe you are pregnant? :D
this is very common on keto, stop doing keto and/or do some research on the negative effects of keto because this is one of them
wtf.. so is keto bad for women????
Somebody lost their vitamins and minerals during on keto diet, please make sure you take veggies enough or take vitamins, minerals, vitamin D from sunlight. Also, stress controlling should be good.
How thing s going now?
Excellent information Dr Burg. I have never felt better on keto. It's for life for me now. Thanks
Thank you Dr. am always encouraged to continue with Keto anytime i wish your videos. Kudos.
"You're going to feel better." That's what this is all about - feeling better. Thanks, Dr. Berg.
I need your help
My girlfriend is a pre diabetic and she got sent to a nutritionist and they have her a 40/40/20
Protein carbs fats
I told her this is insanely terrible for her and I cannot convince her otherwise
I'm very smart person and know lots about nutrition to know this is wrong for her. I'm so angry it isn't funny as they are putting her on meds and all. Please help
@Anthony Rozoz.
Please read the book the Obesity Code by Dr Jason Fung.
Also search Cole Robinson Snak juice diet on UA-cam and facebook.
I hope it helps.
They put pregnant women on low fat high carb diets. It's sick. Few doctors will recommend pregnant women to be on a (obviously high calorie) ketogenic diet but the few that do see good results. This unhealthy system has been drilled into everyones head for 30+ years. It takes time to adapt, especially when stores won't help. Personally I'm on keto for epilepsy because I want to be off meds when I have kids when but I must admit my fat is slipping away.
please listen to your BF, start keto but be careful and have multi vitamins plus ACV and vegetables plus lemon water. you wont stay pre diabetic.
How about letting her watch some people talking about their keto experience and yes Dr Fung. The medical people want to put you on medication and have you eat the same macros every day. I think they do it based on average patient compliance. They know a lot of people will not change so they cater to the lowest common denominator. You need to decide if she is in that category or if she is ready to make a real change. It has to be her decision though ..... If it were me I would say I believe keto would be the best and give her somethings to watch and read. Ask her what she thinks, hopefully she is the type of person who takes control of her own health even if it means changing medical teams. One of my friends is following western medicine protocol but she is very disciplined so her health is improving anyways so it's not all negative.
Really smart? Leave that dummass!
Supersedes excellent! Thank you, Dr. BERG!
Thank you so much Dr. Berg.Youre the Man!
Can you talk about Bob Harper that was vegan but then went to high fat and then had a heart attack? I'm now confused. I'm very much for Keto. My grandmother has alzehimers and dementia and she always ate sugar with everything and rice everyday as well as garlic which if you look in to the vedas they mention how garlic eats at your brain so eatting it when you're sick is ok but everyday is dangerous. And well my grandmother is proof of all these things. But now I saw a youtube on Bob Harper thats was fitness trainer that had a heart attack and I'm puzzled.
Floresita Reyes vegans have had heart attacks also , the man you speak of was a hardcore cardio addict and has overdone it for his poor heart .
Floresita Reyes, the gentleman you mentioned is proof that the sort of cardio he was into hard-core was/is not "cardiac"-friendly.
He's not going to talk about that. He has made millions on this this advice
Any long term population studies that prove it's safe?
Master Coach University Research the Inuits.
The society you lives in proves that chronic sugar consumption is healthy?
Watch Dr. Stephen Phinneys' videos. Also, there's a Canadian Dr., Jay Wortman, I think, who has done a lot of documented work with native peoples. But there is tons of Keto research that is well documented, if you care to look for it.
Lol..Any study doesn't prove that sugar is ever safe...Nor is insulin spiking etc..It's unfortunate most of our foods readily available are insulin spikers-
Heian Shodan If you didn't have an answer, you should have moved. This person is just trying to learn. Chronic (long) sugar consumption is not bad. AS LONG as you don't over consume sugar.
Thanks again Doc, I have been on keto for 7 months and doing very good. My weight loss is steady, I'm 8 pounds away from hitting my goal. Keto is a lifelong goal. 😊
That's fantastic! Congratulations! Dr. Berg would love to hear about your success! Please use this link to upload your story:
