Tell her it's to please her, to be more physically attractive to her, on top of being healthier, and thus, raising the whole family's quality of life (as emotions tend to always spread to close relatives given enough time or intensity). if you have kids, tell her that it's so you can be healthy and grow old enough to see your grandchildren (or grand-grand children).
Involve your wife in what you're doing. Get her on the 8 hour eating window with you, then try to prepare your meals and eat your meals TOGETHER. Even share in the grocery shopping and choosing the foods you'll buy for the meals. Then most importantly, be affectionate to her. Hug on her, smooches on the lips, holding her hand or putting your arm around her sometimes. I hope you get the picture. It sounds like she's just not feeling special to you as you become more attractive with your life style change... and you might not realize just how much love she has in her heart for you. I think she's just feeling left out or not inclusive in your new life style. Keep talking to her. I'm praying that things will work out for you. When most of what you see everywhere is divorce OR wild out of control singles in many short relationships, and plenty of hurting children being brought into the world then they grow up in the ugliness that's the result of the brokenness of relationships... (you see what I'm saying), it makes me want to pray for marriages... even when I don't know the people.😊 TRUE LOVE AND COMMITMENT has just fallen by the wayside SO it's not enough to just "tell her" you're not cheating... show her too. I said all of that to say... I'm praying for you and hope things work out with your wife. FYI... since this was not a marriage counseling video😂😂, I just want to throw in that Dr Berg always post some pretty good information in these videos.😂😂 Blessings everyone!
Dated a girl once who was super sweet. She caused my insulin to spike. Broke up with her. Been in ketosis ever since. Thank you Dr. Berg. This stuff works for relationships too!!!
Twisted Soul he doesn’t need Muscles he just want to be healthy and being at low level of one’s BMI wight chart is the best way to do it for Knee’s and overall health🙂
Twisted Soul Arnold is a hardcore Muscle builder who does gym twice daily and yes he does need lot of carbs and protein to maintain his huge mass. Most of us who do daily 8hr jobs don’t need that much and Dr.Berg is one of them. That’s all I am pointing out and don’t compare Horse to a Lion😅
@Twisted Soul exactly and people tend to forget that maintaining muscle mass which has been stuck on the body for quite some time doesn't atrophy as fast.
Dr Berg, I have gone through an amazing journey over the past few years. I'm an ex rugby player, 196 cm tall and I weighed 108kg. Since 2008, I've had: Knee operation Shoulder operation Appendix removed Compartment syndrome operations, TWICE Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome operation, crazy recovery period! I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, ontop of having 2 discs completely crushed over the years of different sports, which lead to a back fusion I had a year and a half ago. I couldn't exercise for years leading up to my back fusion, and I had chronic pain in my back. I weighed 103kg, with lost muscle and more fat. Just before my back fusion I started doing fasting and low carb. Fast forward to now, my gut bacteria completely fixed and my spondylitis symptoms are completely gone! My back fusion is a massive success and I feel great weighing 95kg with a 6 pack and great body composition. I would thank you and Thomas de Lauer for my success. I haven't posted anything like this before, sharing my story. It's greatly appreciated!
@@jasonhicks3084 Sure man. What doctor diagnosed you with with AS? Have you done an MRI to see if it has affected the bone or not? You can actually see on my MRI where the arthritis damaged some of my bone, it looks like tiny drill holes in my back. I'm asking this before I tell you all the medication I used.
Nick JvR: I am 60 and have been through a bit myself but with the help of people like Dr. Berg, I feel better now than when I was in my 30's. I'm now doing weight training and OMAD. No breakfast, No lunch, just tea (dinner) at 6pm. I have a normal meal but then an hour later I have a high nutritious yummy Kale Smoothie. As I've workout before in the 70's, First time I started back with weights I could feel that love of pumped muscle I never had in years. A great feeling.
@@andrewglagau8685 That's awesome Andrew! My dad is 65 and my father in law is 55, I'm trying to get everyone on this! A couple of my friends and my brother decided to try it, after putting up a lot of resistance. My brother lost about 40kg in 1 year and ran a marathon a few weeks ago. People think it's a fad, but it's truly life changing. I'm 31, so with all the damage I have on my body, this will be a great tool to keep me feeling 30 for as long as possible!
thanks to you, I lost ~40 lbs of fat in 3 months and only about 2 lbs of muscle mass. It was a serious transformation and inspired me to achieve more. Thanks, Eric!
@@lightbeingpontifex whenever youre in a calorie deficit (eating less than your body needs), you'll lose fat (stored energy) but also some muscle, since your body also needs fat so a lot of organs and functions work correctly, that's why natural bodybuilding is very bad for your health, whenever you drop too low on body fat, your hormones such as testosterone can shut down or have very small production compared to a healthy body fat percentage/good fat to muscle balance
@@lightbeingpontifex depends on the person, some feel great at 12% and others feel bad at 12%. the ideal is somewhere you feel confortable at around 18% to 12%, thats the range for a healthy and atletic body fat
Serious Mass was a supplement I used to take every single day on the year of 2014. I did put on weight. But it backfired dramatically. Insulin Resistance was knocking on the door within several months and I kept taking it because I had no idea what Insulin Resistance was. Im glad I've encountered Dr. Berg's videos to get me out of this mess. Thank you Dr. Berg.
@@red1inerr113 exactly not knowing what the ingredients are seems to get us in trouble. I love his videos because I saw the name but had no idea what they meant. Im gonna make sure I'm reading these labels more.
Heard of Dr. Berg on UA-cam and I decided to follow his instruction on interment fasting and loosing weight . I started IF on 11 of May 2020 and my weight was 89kg my current weight now is 72kg and still going
Thank you, sir! I lost 125 lbs with your help, and I'm looking forward to gaining lean mass with your help. More 'healthy bulking' videos would be appreciated. You rock!
Bryan Ladd could you help me please ..how much protein you eat per meal and carbs?you need something like Serious mass or something ...and no water after 6 pm ?thank you
I did fasting and compound movements for 1 year straight. Just weighted push ups, Bulgarian split squats and bent over barbell row 3 times a week 5 sets each and 8-12 rep range and gained over 20 lbs of muscle!
Nice video! A study has actually shown that IF preserves lean muscle mass when in a caloric deficit. So, I definitely use it for protecting my muscles while losing weight!
@TheENofficial In an 8-week trial, researchers split 34 men who were experienced in weight training into two groups and both groups were assigned the same amount of calories and protein per day. The groups only differed in the meal timing. One group performed intermittent fasting with an 8-hrs eating window, while the second group followed a normal diet with breakfast, lunch and dinner. By the end of the study, neither group had lost lean mass or strength. However, the time-restricted group lost on average 1.6 kg of fat, while there was no significant fat loss in the normal diet group. -> more fat loss without extra loss in lean muscle mass. Ref: Moro et al., Effects of eight weeks of time-restricted feeding (16/8) on basal metabolism, maximal strength, body composition, inflammation, and cardiovascular risk factors in resistance-trained males, J Transl Med, 2016
@TheENofficial - Dude. Fasting definitely preserves lean muscle. I did IF on a vegan diet and lifted for 1.5yr. No supplements. 16-19h fasts. I looked like a beast. (Though I had to eat heaps of food ona vegan diet)
@@jeremiaha5167 Wow thats some going on a vegan diet, I'm basically on a Pescatarian diet doing I.F Keto-Low Carbs. But I've also got a Compromised Immune System, where by I need to boost my Immune System! So did you fuel up before a work out or would you fuel up afterwards?
I let myself go for the past few years and was looking a little chubby and I started intermittent fasting following this channel's advice and lost so much weight! My clothes fit how they used to and now I'm back to my slim self again and my aunts aren't commenting on my weight anymore at family functions lol. Anyways now I want to step it up and start gaining muscle and look more toned and less soft/skinny-fat so I will follow this as well. 💪Hopefully it will help me again. I definitely need to better my sleep schedule since it's all out of whack and adjust some stuff here and there so thank you for this video! Now I can be more efficient 😁. And yes there are times when you fall off and get off track I've been there but NEVER GIVE UP and don't let that discourage you from your goal. You have to dust yourself off and pick up where you left off as if it never happened and you WILL see the results. It's not always going to be a straight line to the goal but that's with anything. What matters is your patience to get to the end goal and you'll get there before you know it. Just keep your eyes on the ball! 😁 Thank you so much for everything. I was on a plateau for the longest time and I never believed I could get back to my high school weight again but I saw that I can and now I bet I can gain muscle and get into even better shape than before! If I could do it ( gluttonous ), I know whoever is reading this can too 😁.
From personal experience (been lifting weights in the strength category for 14 years now), if you do a long fast (72 hrs.) you probably can perform normally in the strength category (6 reps or less at 85-100% of your 1 rep max) on your first workout within 24 hrs. After 24 hrs., your strength will likely go down quite a bit and sure the resistance training will help produce growth hormone to prevent muscle loss and I was taking a multivitamin and getting plenty of sleep, but you will most likely not perform normally in the strength category after your first workout. Intermittent fasting, as least for me, works fine to still build strength as long as I have a meal to refuel.
@@sairos4057it helped me but not greately. I took 100 grams of protein in my omad. I lost weight but the muscle definition was quite low. So i stopped doing omad. You can try the IF but eat 2 meals and take raw prtotein powder in between.
First 108kg and now 83kg. I have lost 25 kg weight ever since.I have been following your advice. Balance diet and intermetting fasting. Right now I am going to gym for two and half months. Thank you so much
I started fasting for 24 hours and next day eating between lunch and 7pm-Repeat. I've started doing weights again after lockdown, but don't feel the soreness that shows muscle growth the day after, I just feel exhausted and weaker.. I am overweight, but felt much stronger eating carbs and like my muscles were growing. I really want to enjoy the benefits of fasting, but really hope I will overcome this phase. Maybe it's just not for me! I'm a 52 year old guy. Thanks to anyone who has a suggestion or encouragement
I can not believe it...!!! every time i am thinking of something and like to get information there you have a video about it. Awesome appreciated. I love your board work it is perfect to me. The colors the breakdowns the grouping and so on. Great job Doctor Berg
Thank Dr. Berg for this video. The problem with much of the advise concerning muscle and strength gains is that it comes from the professional bodybuilding community. While there maybe a kernel of truth to much of the nutritional advise that they dispense, it really only applies to their community and not to the general public. I could be wrong about this, but this is where the notion of carb loading for muscle hypertrophy comes from. Given the high volume of exercise that the professional bodybuilding requires, along with the copious amount of performance enhancing drugs they incorporate, that extreme lifestyle necessitates high carb intake so as to elevate insulin levels to maximize muscle protein synthesis. That is partly why, for decades, people have been duped by this notion that they must eat 6 times a day, and specifically time carb intake around workouts. While this works for a bodybuilder doing grueling workouts that most people won't do, and such a dietary pattern is required for THEM to maximize the benefit of performance enhancing drugs, such advise, when extrapolated to the general population, only serves to make us insulin resistant and fat. It would be like saying that because jet fuel works well to propel a fighter jet to Mach 2, therefore, if you put jet fuel in your Honda Civic it too can reach Mach 2.
Food activates mtor,,,, signaling pathway to build and grow,,,,, insulin packs energy into cells,, sugar is fast stored energy,,, helpful for exercise ,,,
100 push ups a day helped me develop athletic looking arms and a decent looking chest. Been doing this for over two years. Patience, motivation and dedication is needed. It works.
I did this also.... 100 pushups instantly when i got up, and right before sleep. Had accident now, cannot do it because of bone injury. Big loss. Also dolphin kicks. Thats all people need to do, and can do it no tools or weights needed, on your floor next to bed. Super easy and really helps. Throw in swimming and youre set. 2-1-1, protein to carbs and fats. Easy to remember and free to do, and quick
To get sore is not the stimulus for muscle growth. If you get sore, you have to have repair before growth. Maximum Mechanical load for a certain time for the high twich muscle fibers is the stimulus. The calories 3000 per day and Protein 400-500 grams are way to high. You can only add some grams of muscle protein per day, so the rest is meabolized to glucose. So you can just skip the carbs on high protein meals.
I'm 53 years old and have been doing OMAD for the past few months and basically eating pizza, cheesesteaks, Jersey Mike Subs, Chinese Takeout and anything I want but I've still lost weight and I'm down to my college graduation weight which is 181 lbs. at 6 ft. tall. I am also becoming more muscular and getting stronger every month - not because I am eating a lot of protein or "healthy foods" but I believe because I am getting sufficient sleep and rest between workouts. Our bodies heal themselves (and we grow stronger) when we sleep so I think that is #1. #2 is I don't work out to max effort on any set - I usually only do 80% max effort per set - this enables me to do more volume with better form... and recover quicker, IMO. It has been a very eye-opening experience for me as I always thought "max effort" and lots of protein were key to building muscle and strength.
In my experience as a natural powerlifter IF helps retain muscle... However to lift the weights needed to create real muscle mass.. u need more carbs and carbs pre workout. Two days a week I don't do IF and get a pre workout meal in. I have tried and tried otherwise and u simply cannot do it with any success.
How do u gain muscle on IF?? IF puts the body into a starvation mode. When ur body goes into starvation mode it feeds on your muscle and u lose strength. That’s why body builders eat like 8 times a day. I’m a weight lifter but I need to lose fat.
Because when your body comes out of the fast and you finally eat it absorbs the nutrients out of the food better than if you were eating regularly through out the day.
My name is Marwan im an Egyptian I am a native Arabic speaker, a college graduate and my classical Arabic is so advanced, also the spoken common Arabic of mine is a native level, my English is more than fluent a native like level, with very strong grammar, listening and speaking skills. i wanna offer to translate your videos on UA-cam or any other platforms in Arabic and add subtitles to them, i can easily do that and professionally. i really like your shows and videos, very informative and educational, even for medicine students in the middle east i wanna spread the word all over the middle east, the whole Arabic speaking world, also that can pretty much be taught to university students as you get to the underlying reason, the bottom line and what's really important and efficient in every story of every disease or medical condition you're talking about. so give me a chance to do that, sure it will be an amazing chance for me to work for such a great person, working with such an amazing, beneficial and knowledgeable doctor, it will be my great and absolute pleasure, and i will do whatever it takes to satisfy anything i'm asked to do, based on and according to your instructions of course and professional guidelines.
so far my mom has dropped 9 lbs in 6 weeks intermittent fasting and my twin sister has lost 17 pounds in 8 weeks intermittent fasting. So don't give up people, intermittent fasting definitely is not a gimmick!!
When you mentioned serious mass, that really got my attention. I have benefited from gainer shakes through the years, but I’m happy to get a more comprehensive picture of what I’m consuming.
Your channel has given many a lot more information on how to use intermittent fasting effectively, as to not only keep your hard earned lean muscle, but to gain more in a safe way and how to get/stay healthy from the inside out. Thank you for sharing the knowledge , another great video. This channel provides the science behind the theory so its much easier to understand these principles and know that its facts you are working with and not some new theory that has yet to be studied or used in practice. This knowledge when applied properly, yields results.... fact !
Never clicked a video so fast Dr. B! I’m a female fitness competitor that’s been doing OMAD IF and Keto for a month and this has been my struggle 🙏🏽❤️ Thank God for you 🙏🏽
What are you trying to do? Bulk or cut? If bulk, add more fats during the eating window. Or, add more carbs. As a natty, doing keto/IF, it will take a long time and NO room for error.
Kate Apted In à sense both simultaneously I need to cut fat and bulk muscle. Right now I’m focusing on losing the fat then I’ll build the muscle hopefully what I’m experimenting I’m actually doing them at the same time.
No one reads these it seems, but if you want to fast for 16 hours a day, you don't have 2 meals 8 hours apart, (he said 10 & 6), you have your 1st meal, then you figure how much time it takes to complete a meal, subtract that from the 8 hours, and plan your meal for that time. Example, 10 & 6, you find that a meal lasts about a half hour, so your last meal is at 5:30.
@@ronnieronque108 12 years fasting low carb, exercise fasting minimum 16 hours when doing keto breaking the fast with bowl of berries, pea protein powder coconut milk peanut butter, pecans, now I am in more carnivore I don’t exercise fasting cause I loose weight so I eat 3 eggs 2 hours before exercising and as much protein I can eat after like ground beef more eggs, I cut all the veggies all the nuts and proteins processed shakes I do organs powder as my protein shake from lineage but I don’t need to loose weight and fasting is the best way to get muscles in the beginning at least was for me !

I watch your 1 video daily. I lost 9 kg (19 lbs) since the last 2 months and earlier I could do only 5-7 pushups, now I can easily perform 40-50 (in 2-3 reps). just 3 kg to go more to enter the normal BMI range. Thank you.
Thanks for the video. Been doing IF for almost 4 years, 16:8 approach and crossfit 5 times per week. Tried low carb/keto style of eating but did not work for me. No energy, unable to finish several workouts, bad recovery & definitely no muscle or strength gain. Got back to my carb cycling (low/moderate/high days) and everything’s back to normal. Not saying bad idea but not for everyone!
Thank you Dr Berg this is very informative. I started watching your videos about a month ago and I've dropped 5kgs with weight and cardio training Im starting to look great.
Allen Berry I like doing a carb backloading approach, eat fats, proteins and greens in the day and have a carb meal Before bed (sweet potatoes) or second to last meal To be honest I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a big insulin spike, as long as it’s only once a day, the body can handle that
So good to see Dr Berg stress - COMPLETE protein 03:36. So many say protein, but never emphasis that it should be complete. Thermogenic properties of protein should be factored in the amount eaten, as 20% is lost in conversion. Eating Vegan is one option - but you need a good knowledge base as to - how to combine foods to make them complete unless they are Buckwheat and Quinoa as 2 examples. ** The work of Dr Donald Layman and his study of protein and the synthesis of muscle to it, is another must view / listen to UA-cam video with Dr Attia.
When most people show a product in their video, it's because the product is the sponsor. Eric shows a product and warns you against using it. Honest man, my respect.
Dr. Berg. I am running a full Marathon in October. My team is having a "Carb" loading session the day before. Can you share information or do a video on what is healthy and safe to eat for long-term energy strains on the body like marathon fasting? PS- love your products and your videos! Thank you for helping to make my family healthier :).
Professor Tim Noakes (south african sports nutrition scientist) was into marathon running and used to carbo load. he literally developed type 2 diabetes. and then the science of low carb came out and now he's an all out advocate of no carbs, even for athletes
I used casein protein powder and milk, Aswell as Eating Eggs Daily As Casein protein release IGF 1 And Casein protein release over,6-7 hours+ it's Anti Catabolic
After I started my low carb diet, I can actually go 16 hours without eating. Now I don't crave carbs and actually don't feel well when I eat too much starch. Been eating my 45 eggs per day lol. Thanks Dr. Berg, you've helped me tremendously.
I wish we had these kind of videos 25 years ago when I was at the gym 5 days a week. I took in way too much carbs, high protein, low fat and many other issues.
Complex carbohydrates and eating many veggies during the same meal n adding the fats or protiens won't affect the blood sugar :) it is also nutrient dense, it's more about the glycemic index of the whole meal than the individual food itself
So nice to hear from a doctor who really knows what he is talking about. So many are just narcissistic sociopaths; but your sculpted chest muscles and huge biceps show how you walk the walk.:-)
Great video. i've been doing IF for just over a year now and you hit the nail on the head. I'm maintaining muscle mass with 2 meals a day. approx. 16 hour fasts.
@@Rikki-lh2mw my bad i never saw the question, i been meaning to make a video on it but pretty much meal 1 is eggs, oatmeal, chicken and rice. meal 2 steak and rice and spaghetti. then i also eat whatever else to up the cals
2:34 I don't understand calories, since you recommend 2 meals, that would be 3000 calories! That's about 200g of fat to consume! I increased by cals to 2300- 20IF and eating around 130g fat and I'm already growing belly and lower body.
I was literally researching this topic just now as i'm 3 weeks into keto/fasting and plan on starting training again. Doc it's like you read my mind! Is it ok to eat a Banana pre-workout to fill that 50g carb goal? Or should i choose something that does not contain sugar?
Eating a banana or other sugary food during or immediately after a workout is the perfect time to eat it because your body is in a glycemic depleted state, therefore it actually utilises those sugars effectively rather than the carbs going through glyconeogenesis and turning into stored-fat to use when you’re in a sedentary state. Short answer: yes, eat the banana.
i suggest not, take some mct oil for energy, no need for carbs. for potassium and electrolytes drink some vegetable juice, it's better than any energy drink for getting some minerals back. kiwi is also amazing, better than banana: less calories, more vitamins and minerals.
I started the Omad diet nine days ago and I’ve lost 10 pounds never felt better i’m eating 1300-2000 calories a day and my muscle mass has increased by 0.5 percent i’m walking around 10,000 steps a day, I’m loving it hoping to lose 30 pounds then introduce weight training then loose A further 60 pounds thank you doc
Some people say the body cannot digest more than 30 to 40g protein per meal.. 6 to 8 oz per meal = 170 to 220g per sitting , is this not an overkill doctor? I am way too confused here
I did intermittent fasting (2x24hr fasts per week) whilst working out 3 to 4 times per week for 2 years. I lost fat and gained muscle at the same time.
It works yes it does! I have been doing IF on a muscle building program for past 4 years. It is a much slower approach when it comes to adding mass, but you gain less fat in doing so, gaining more lean muscle as result.
I do one meal a day and lift weights and do cardio on an empty stomach i be having tons of energy and more muscle than ever and stronger than ever dont make sense to me but its just work and i dont get aches and pains
Humans were literally designed to eat one big meal a day. Thats how our ancestors lived for hundreds of millenia, so its no surprise that you and millions of other people feel better than ever when they switch to OMAD. we arent meant to graze all day like cows.
Hello doctor Berg I’ve been watching your Chanel and I love it. It’s helped me allot. I have a question on what your thoughts are about creatine? I’m 48 years of age, I’m losing weight eating right and working out. Is creatine a good thing to take? And if so when and how often?

Hello Dr. Berg, my name is Lorenz, i am from Germany and i love watching your videos. Thanks for all this good information! Very easy to understand, but one thing i do not understand. If i go for Intermittent Fasting and Keto and i want to gain muscle mass (like you describe in this video), but i should only consume 50-70g of carbs per day. How do i get 1500kcal per Meal? 70g carbs * 6kcal = 420kcal. So there are about 1080kcal per meal, which i have to cover with protein and fat. How is this possible? I would really appreciate it very much, if you or other people here in the community can give me some advice :) Many greetings from Germany, Lorenz
I've lost 21kg/46lbs during summer with OMAD with no exercise, since then I stopped fasting completely and started lifting weights, in the 6 months since then I've been lean bulking and gained 8kg, when April rolls around I'm going to do a new fasting routine where I eat on the training days and fast on the non-training days, so I'll fast 3 days out of the week, each one being a 36 hour fast, the other days I'll eat normal 3 regular meals and whatever I feel like eating that day.
Thanks Dr.Berg.This is awesome knowledge.I, for the past year or so, just naturally transitioned into a two meal-a-day pattern and realized that calories weren't an issue and I feel much better, lol!
I can do it if the majority of it is in liquid form. Like I make melon juice and I feel I can actually get crazy amounts of calories in easily while doing that. I know it's not keto but if you want more calories, fruit and vegetable juices are my pick.
Please, Doc I saw couple videos, but give us please more material related to the gains and the conservation of muscle mass while fasting. Especially on topics like how to increase growth hormone naturally/ working out in starvation/ supplementing with shakes (whey) correctly / Rest time/ high intense work outs And how to organize a cheat day with carbohydrates and junkie food consume. Thank you. I am subscribed since 2018 with no regreats.
Great content. A question I have is what foods can someone eat to reach a 2,700 or 3,000 calorie goal per day while staying between 50 to 70 grams of carbohydrates? I’m having a difficult time staying under the carb limit while trying to get enough calories
If you work a sedentary job, sure. But If you're a construction worker, plus the 3-4 intense workouts per week, 2 meals over an 8 hour window is a bad idea for putting on muscle. Maybe if you're trying to do a cut and get down to 8% body fat. I think 3 meals over a 12 hour window is the way to go for a bulk
I started 16/8 IF Nov 2018. I went from 175 to 153lb and put on 7-8 lbs of muscle so far. Only down side is that my wife thinks I am cheating on her.
Tell her it's to please her, to be more physically attractive to her, on top of being healthier, and thus, raising the whole family's quality of life (as emotions tend to always spread to close relatives given enough time or intensity).
if you have kids, tell her that it's so you can be healthy and grow old enough to see your grandchildren (or grand-grand children).
@@1yoan3 I literally have told her exactly that! lol
How did you eat 1500 calories a meal in 8 hours?
@@robinwilkins6399 Not that hard if you're eating nutrient dense foods. But I am not really calorie counting.
Involve your wife in what you're doing. Get her on the 8 hour eating window with you, then try to prepare your meals and eat your meals TOGETHER. Even share in the grocery shopping and choosing the foods you'll buy for the meals. Then most importantly, be affectionate to her. Hug on her, smooches on the lips, holding her hand or putting your arm around her sometimes. I hope you get the picture. It sounds like she's just not feeling special to you as you become more attractive with your life style change... and you might not realize just how much love she has in her heart for you. I think she's just feeling left out or not inclusive in your new life style. Keep talking to her. I'm praying that things will work out for you. When most of what you see everywhere is divorce OR wild out of control singles in many short relationships, and plenty of hurting children being brought into the world then they grow up in the ugliness that's the result of the brokenness of relationships... (you see what I'm saying), it makes me want to pray for marriages... even when I don't know the people.😊 TRUE LOVE AND COMMITMENT has just fallen by the wayside SO it's not enough to just "tell her" you're not cheating... show her too. I said all of that to say... I'm praying for you and hope things work out with your wife.
FYI... since this was not a marriage counseling video😂😂, I just want to throw in that Dr Berg always post some pretty good information in these videos.😂😂
Blessings everyone!

With ketosis would've made this comment perfect
We need more of these muscle building Videos,this was excellent video.
Twisted Soul I don’t believe he’s into muscle building,many people just like to stay lean which is understandable.
Twisted Soul he doesn’t need Muscles he just want to be healthy and being at low level of one’s BMI wight chart is the best way to do it for Knee’s and overall health🙂
Twisted Soul Arnold is a hardcore Muscle builder who does gym twice daily and yes he does need lot of carbs and protein to maintain his huge mass. Most of us who do daily 8hr jobs don’t need that much and Dr.Berg is one of them. That’s all I am pointing out and don’t compare Horse to a Lion😅
I concur, more vids that include performing better athletically. Seems like most of this audience is here for weight loss though :(
@Twisted Soul exactly and people tend to forget that maintaining muscle mass which has been stuck on the body for quite some time doesn't atrophy as fast.
Dr Berg, I have gone through an amazing journey over the past few years.
I'm an ex rugby player, 196 cm tall and I weighed 108kg.
Since 2008, I've had:
Knee operation
Shoulder operation
Appendix removed
Compartment syndrome operations, TWICE
Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome operation, crazy recovery period!
I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, ontop of having 2 discs completely crushed over the years of different sports, which lead to a back fusion I had a year and a half ago.
I couldn't exercise for years leading up to my back fusion, and I had chronic pain in my back. I weighed 103kg, with lost muscle and more fat.
Just before my back fusion I started doing fasting and low carb.
Fast forward to now, my gut bacteria completely fixed and my spondylitis symptoms are completely gone! My back fusion is a massive success and I feel great weighing 95kg with a 6 pack and great body composition.
I would thank you and Thomas de Lauer for my success.
I haven't posted anything like this before, sharing my story.
It's greatly appreciated!
congrats💪
your experience really so helpful
I'm 20 and was just diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis. Maybe you have some tips
@@jasonhicks3084 Sure man.
What doctor diagnosed you with with AS? Have you done an MRI to see if it has affected the bone or not? You can actually see on my MRI where the arthritis damaged some of my bone, it looks like tiny drill holes in my back.
I'm asking this before I tell you all the medication I used.
Nick JvR: I am 60 and have been through a bit myself but with the help of people like Dr. Berg, I feel better now than when I was in my 30's. I'm now doing weight training and OMAD. No breakfast, No lunch, just tea (dinner) at 6pm. I have a normal meal but then an hour later I have a high nutritious yummy Kale Smoothie. As I've workout before in the 70's, First time I started back with weights I could feel that love of pumped muscle I never had in years. A great feeling.
@@andrewglagau8685 That's awesome Andrew! My dad is 65 and my father in law is 55, I'm trying to get everyone on this!
A couple of my friends and my brother decided to try it, after putting up a lot of resistance. My brother lost about 40kg in 1 year and ran a marathon a few weeks ago.
People think it's a fad, but it's truly life changing.
I'm 31, so with all the damage I have on my body, this will be a great tool to keep me feeling 30 for as long as possible!
More videos on IF and muscle mass please!
Keep up the great work Dr. Berg!👏
Have you checked Dr Berg's interviews on sport people who muscle up?
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
thanks to you, I lost ~40 lbs of fat in 3 months and only about 2 lbs of muscle mass. It was a serious transformation and inspired me to achieve more.
Thanks, Eric!
How did you lose the muscle,,
@@lightbeingpontifex whenever youre in a calorie deficit (eating less than your body needs), you'll lose fat (stored energy) but also some muscle, since your body also needs fat so a lot of organs and functions work correctly, that's why natural bodybuilding is very bad for your health, whenever you drop too low on body fat, your hormones such as testosterone can shut down or have very small production compared to a healthy body fat percentage/good fat to muscle balance
@@BrunoMalmann what's a good body fat percentage,,, im at 18%
@@lightbeingpontifex depends on the person, some feel great at 12% and others feel bad at 12%. the ideal is somewhere you feel confortable at around 18% to 12%, thats the range for a healthy and atletic body fat
Serious Mass was a supplement I used to take every single day on the year of 2014.
I did put on weight. But it backfired dramatically. Insulin Resistance was knocking on the door within several months and I kept taking it because I had no idea what Insulin Resistance was.
Im glad I've encountered Dr. Berg's videos to get me out of this mess.
Thank you Dr. Berg.
Wow that stuff is basically scoops of sugar
Thank you so much for sharing that incredible story WOW
Not only that particular supplement but all protein shakes lead to insulin resistance! ALL!
Maltodextrin made it even worse! Lots of protein powders use maltodextrin. Check does labels folks...best wishes to all.
@@red1inerr113 exactly not knowing what the ingredients are seems to get us in trouble. I love his videos because I saw the name but had no idea what they meant. Im gonna make sure I'm reading these labels more.
Heard of Dr. Berg on UA-cam and I decided to follow his instruction on interment fasting and loosing weight . I started IF on 11 of May 2020 and my weight was 89kg my current weight now is 72kg and still going
Thank you, sir! I lost 125 lbs with your help, and I'm looking forward to gaining lean mass with your help. More 'healthy bulking' videos would be appreciated. You rock!
Way to go Bryan!
Congrats! And yes I agree. Love these vids
Bryan Ladd could you help me please ..how much protein you eat per meal and carbs?you need something like Serious mass or something ...and no water after 6 pm ?thank you
Wow super well done Bryan! 💪💪💪👏👏👏
@@Cos-by7fb Serious Mass is not good to achieve a good body. Way too much carbs! I use Dr Berg's videos to achieve my results 💪💪💪
I did fasting and compound movements for 1 year straight. Just weighted push ups, Bulgarian split squats and bent over barbell row 3 times a week 5 sets each and 8-12 rep range and gained over 20 lbs of muscle!
what did your macros look like and did you do 16/8?
Nice video! A study has actually shown that IF preserves lean muscle mass when in a caloric deficit. So, I definitely use it for protecting my muscles while losing weight!
@TheENofficial In an 8-week trial, researchers split 34 men who were experienced in weight training into two groups and both groups were assigned the same amount of calories and protein per day. The groups only differed in the meal timing. One group performed intermittent fasting with an 8-hrs eating window, while the second group followed a normal diet with breakfast, lunch and dinner.
By the end of the study, neither group had lost lean mass or strength. However, the time-restricted group lost on average 1.6 kg of fat, while there was no significant fat loss in the normal diet group.
-> more fat loss without extra loss in lean muscle mass.
Ref: Moro et al., Effects of eight weeks of time-restricted feeding (16/8) on basal metabolism, maximal strength, body composition, inflammation, and cardiovascular risk factors in resistance-trained males, J Transl Med, 2016
TheENofficial thanks for the info, i always knew IF has nothing to do with helping lean muscle mass
@TheENofficial - Dude. Fasting definitely preserves lean muscle. I did IF on a vegan diet and lifted for 1.5yr. No supplements. 16-19h fasts. I looked like a beast.
(Though I had to eat heaps of food ona vegan diet)
Feedback after 1 year? I use Dr Berg's videos on potassium to build muscles up but I'm looking for other people's feedback.
@@jeremiaha5167 Wow thats some going on a vegan diet, I'm basically on a Pescatarian diet doing I.F Keto-Low Carbs. But I've also got a Compromised Immune System, where by I need to boost my Immune System! So did you fuel up before a work out or would you fuel up afterwards?
I let myself go for the past few years and was looking a little chubby and I started intermittent fasting following this channel's advice and lost so much weight! My clothes fit how they used to and now I'm back to my slim self again and my aunts aren't commenting on my weight anymore at family functions lol. Anyways now I want to step it up and start gaining muscle and look more toned and less soft/skinny-fat so I will follow this as well. 💪Hopefully it will help me again. I definitely need to better my sleep schedule since it's all out of whack and adjust some stuff here and there so thank you for this video! Now I can be more efficient 😁. And yes there are times when you fall off and get off track I've been there but NEVER GIVE UP and don't let that discourage you from your goal. You have to dust yourself off and pick up where you left off as if it never happened and you WILL see the results. It's not always going to be a straight line to the goal but that's with anything. What matters is your patience to get to the end goal and you'll get there before you know it. Just keep your eyes on the ball! 😁 Thank you so much for everything. I was on a plateau for the longest time and I never believed I could get back to my high school weight again but I saw that I can and now I bet I can gain muscle and get into even better shape than before! If I could do it ( gluttonous ), I know whoever is reading this can too 😁.
From personal experience (been lifting weights in the strength category for 14 years now), if you do a long fast (72 hrs.) you probably can perform normally in the strength category (6 reps or less at 85-100% of your 1 rep max) on your first workout within 24 hrs. After 24 hrs., your strength will likely go down quite a bit and sure the resistance training will help produce growth hormone to prevent muscle loss and I was taking a multivitamin and getting plenty of sleep, but you will most likely not perform normally in the strength category after your first workout. Intermittent fasting, as least for me, works fine to still build strength as long as I have a meal to refuel.
So this is means you can still build muscles even if you eat once a day, right?
@@sairos4057it helped me but not greately. I took 100 grams of protein in my omad. I lost weight but the muscle definition was quite low. So i stopped doing omad. You can try the IF but eat 2 meals and take raw prtotein powder in between.
First 108kg and now 83kg. I have lost 25 kg weight ever since.I have been following your advice. Balance diet and intermetting fasting. Right now I am going to gym for two and half months. Thank you so much
I started fasting for 24 hours and next day eating between lunch and 7pm-Repeat. I've started doing weights again after lockdown, but don't feel the soreness that shows muscle growth the day after, I just feel exhausted and weaker.. I am overweight, but felt much stronger eating carbs and like my muscles were growing. I really want to enjoy the benefits of fasting, but really hope I will overcome this phase. Maybe it's just not for me! I'm a 52 year old guy. Thanks to anyone who has a suggestion or encouragement
The difference between a real doc and so called social media fitness influencer , thank you Dr berg for real work
Best keto resource on UA-cam, hands down.

I can not believe it...!!! every time i am thinking of something and like to get information there you have a video about it. Awesome appreciated. I love your board work it is perfect to me. The colors the breakdowns the grouping and so on. Great job Doctor Berg
Love this video! More on weight lifting & muscle mass please and thank you :)
Thank Dr. Berg for this video. The problem with much of the advise concerning muscle and strength gains is that it comes from the professional bodybuilding community. While there maybe a kernel of truth to much of the nutritional advise that they dispense, it really only applies to their community and not to the general public. I could be wrong about this, but this is where the notion of carb loading for muscle hypertrophy comes from. Given the high volume of exercise that the professional bodybuilding requires, along with the copious amount of performance enhancing drugs they incorporate, that extreme lifestyle necessitates high carb intake so as to elevate insulin levels to maximize muscle protein synthesis. That is partly why, for decades, people have been duped by this notion that they must eat 6 times a day, and specifically time carb intake around workouts. While this works for a bodybuilder doing grueling workouts that most people won't do, and such a dietary pattern is required for THEM to maximize the benefit of performance enhancing drugs, such advise, when extrapolated to the general population, only serves to make us insulin resistant and fat. It would be like saying that because jet fuel works well to propel a fighter jet to Mach 2, therefore, if you put jet fuel in your Honda Civic it too can reach Mach 2.
A Mach 2, Honda Civic, would be pretty awesome.
Food activates mtor,,,, signaling pathway to build and grow,,,,, insulin packs energy into cells,, sugar is fast stored energy,,, helpful for exercise ,,,
100 push ups a day helped me develop athletic looking arms and a decent looking chest. Been doing this for over two years. Patience, motivation and dedication is needed. It works.
Training biceps with Push ups???
Could have spend these two years with way way better training. Way better, as in no comparison to what you did. You did it though, so be proud!
I did this also.... 100 pushups instantly when i got up, and right before sleep. Had accident now, cannot do it because of bone injury. Big loss. Also dolphin kicks. Thats all people need to do, and can do it no tools or weights needed, on your floor next to bed. Super easy and really helps. Throw in swimming and youre set. 2-1-1, protein to carbs and fats. Easy to remember and free to do, and quick
@@dertythegrower I will lookup dolphin kicks. Thanks for sharing!
@@793Force I have limited time for more training as I am also a caregiver.
To get sore is not the stimulus for muscle growth. If you get sore, you have to have repair before growth. Maximum Mechanical load for a certain time for the high twich muscle fibers is the stimulus.
The calories 3000 per day and Protein 400-500 grams are way to high. You can only add some grams of muscle protein per day, so the rest is meabolized to glucose. So you can just skip the carbs on high protein meals.
Love Dr. Berg! Have been following him for years and followed his teachings ever since!

I'm 53 years old and have been doing OMAD for the past few months and basically eating pizza, cheesesteaks, Jersey Mike Subs, Chinese Takeout and anything I want but I've still lost weight and I'm down to my college graduation weight which is 181 lbs. at 6 ft. tall. I am also becoming more muscular and getting stronger every month - not because I am eating a lot of protein or "healthy foods" but I believe because I am getting sufficient sleep and rest between workouts. Our bodies heal themselves (and we grow stronger) when we sleep so I think that is #1. #2 is I don't work out to max effort on any set - I usually only do 80% max effort per set - this enables me to do more volume with better form... and recover quicker, IMO. It has been a very eye-opening experience for me as I always thought "max effort" and lots of protein were key to building muscle and strength.
In my experience as a natural powerlifter IF helps retain muscle... However to lift the weights needed to create real muscle mass.. u need more carbs and carbs pre workout. Two days a week I don't do IF and get a pre workout meal in. I have tried and tried otherwise and u simply cannot do it with any success.
How do u gain muscle on IF?? IF puts the body into a starvation mode. When ur body goes into starvation mode it feeds on your muscle and u lose strength. That’s why body builders eat like 8 times a day. I’m a weight lifter but I need to lose fat.
Because when your body comes out of the fast and you finally eat it absorbs the nutrients out of the food better than if you were eating regularly through out the day.
@@Scorned405that is complete misinformation, fasting isnt “starvation” and unless you have no belly fat you wont lose muscle…
@ If taken to the extreme you will. If your body goes so long without food it starts to feed on the muscle for nutrients. It’s common science
@@Scorned405 yes if you dont eat for 20 days it wont end well, did you also know that grass is green??
My name is Marwan im an Egyptian
I am a native Arabic speaker, a college graduate and my classical Arabic is so advanced, also the spoken common Arabic of mine is a native level, my English is more than fluent a native like level, with very strong grammar, listening and speaking skills.
i wanna offer to translate your videos on UA-cam or any other platforms in Arabic and add subtitles to them, i can easily do that and professionally.
i really like your shows and videos, very informative and educational, even for medicine students in the middle east i wanna spread the word all over the middle east, the whole Arabic speaking world, also that can pretty much be taught to university students as you get to the underlying reason, the bottom line and what's really important and efficient in every story of every disease or medical condition you're talking about.
so give me a chance to do that, sure it will be an amazing chance for me to work for such a great person, working with such an amazing, beneficial and knowledgeable doctor, it will be my great and absolute pleasure, and i will do whatever it takes to satisfy anything i'm asked to do, based on and according to your instructions of course and professional guidelines.

The heads up on the supplement was extremely helpful
I want a teacher like you, Sir. I am a medical student . Your points are very straight and clear.
Always the best videos, thank you
When you mentioned serious mass, that really got my attention. I have benefited from gainer shakes through the years, but I’m happy to get a more comprehensive picture of what I’m consuming.
Your channel has given many a lot more information on how to use intermittent fasting effectively, as to not only keep your hard earned lean muscle, but to gain more in a safe way and how to get/stay healthy from the inside out.
Thank you for sharing the knowledge , another great video. This channel provides the science behind the theory so its much easier to understand these principles and know that its facts you are working with and not some new theory that has yet to be studied or used in practice. This knowledge when applied properly, yields results.... fact !

BabygirlCoutre1 you go girl!
Nice! Which federation if I might ask? How on earth are we supposed to reach our macro intake in two meals 😂
What are you trying to do? Bulk or cut? If bulk, add more fats during the eating window. Or, add more carbs. As a natty, doing keto/IF, it will take a long time and NO room for error.
ultrafloss492 Hello the NPC working towards the IFBB 😊 you? And I know the struggle is real lol
Kate Apted In à sense both simultaneously I need to cut fat and bulk muscle. Right now I’m focusing on losing the fat then I’ll build the muscle hopefully what I’m experimenting I’m actually doing them at the same time.
No one reads these it seems, but if you want to fast for 16 hours a day, you don't have 2 meals 8 hours apart, (he said 10 & 6), you have your 1st meal, then you figure how much time it takes to complete a meal, subtract that from the 8 hours, and plan your meal for that time. Example, 10 & 6, you find that a meal lasts about a half hour, so your last meal is at 5:30.
I have been doing all right for years now! Always thanks to Doc Berg! I gain muscle after exercising fasting and yes I do 16/8 and lots of great food!
What is your fasting method, and what do you eat after fasting what are you consuming whiles fasting, do yoi take supplements
Do you exercise after fasting or before
@@ronnieronque108 12 years fasting low carb, exercise fasting minimum 16 hours when doing keto breaking the fast with bowl of berries, pea protein powder coconut milk peanut butter, pecans, now I am in more carnivore I don’t exercise fasting cause I loose weight so I eat 3 eggs 2 hours before exercising and as much protein I can eat after like ground beef more eggs, I cut all the veggies all the nuts and proteins processed shakes I do organs powder as my protein shake from lineage but I don’t need to loose weight and fasting is the best way to get muscles in the beginning at least was for me !
@@ronnieronque108 dependes I used to do 16 to 20 hours the longest were 2 days I tried always do the dry fast, autophagy faster I used to take supplements like vitamin D omega 3 some other now a days I don’t take anything I try only do lots of animal proteins
@TheBeautyanna i thought you can gain weight with muscle gain when doing fasting and more protein.
I watch your 1 video daily. I lost 9 kg (19 lbs) since the last 2 months and earlier I could do only 5-7 pushups, now I can easily perform 40-50 (in 2-3 reps). just 3 kg to go more to enter the normal BMI range. Thank you.
While watching his vids, I flex my brain and build up my knowledge base.
The rest will follow.
This was every question I needed answered today. And I've been searching for hours
Thanks for the video. Been doing IF for almost 4 years, 16:8 approach and crossfit 5 times per week. Tried low carb/keto style of eating but did not work for me. No energy, unable to finish several workouts, bad recovery & definitely no muscle or strength gain. Got back to my carb cycling (low/moderate/high days) and everything’s back to normal. Not saying bad idea but not for everyone!
Hi can you tell me more about your diet/ time of the meal and food you eat please ? I’m very interested. Thanks
Thank you Dr Berg this is very informative. I started watching your videos about a month ago and I've dropped 5kgs with weight and cardio training Im starting to look great.

@@rath_says1368what happened?
This man doing faar better job than any other Dr around world salute sir 👏
What’s worse? Fast insulin spikes, or insulin amount, because many meats makes insulin high, but sugars, wheat and etc, spikes it fast
Allen Berry I like doing a carb backloading approach, eat fats, proteins and greens in the day and have a carb meal Before bed (sweet potatoes) or second to last meal
To be honest I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a big insulin spike, as long as it’s only once a day, the body can handle that
@@ZyroSugar lol
ZyroSugar might do carnivore, I deal with anxiety, fatigue, and have a risk for hypothyroidism
So good to see Dr Berg stress - COMPLETE protein 03:36. So many say protein, but never emphasis that it should be complete.
Thermogenic properties of protein should be factored in the amount eaten, as 20% is lost in conversion.
Eating Vegan is one option - but you need a good knowledge base as to - how to combine foods to make them complete unless they are Buckwheat and Quinoa as 2 examples.

When most people show a product in their video, it's because the product is the sponsor. Eric shows a product and warns you against using it. Honest man, my respect.
Dr. Berg. I am running a full Marathon in October. My team is having a "Carb" loading session the day before. Can you share information or do a video on what is healthy and safe to eat for long-term energy strains on the body like marathon fasting? PS- love your products and your videos! Thank you for helping to make my family healthier :).
Professor Tim Noakes (south african sports nutrition scientist) was into marathon running and used to carbo load. he literally developed type 2 diabetes. and then the science of low carb came out and now he's an all out advocate of no carbs, even for athletes
I used casein protein powder and milk, Aswell as Eating Eggs Daily As Casein protein release IGF 1 And Casein protein release over,6-7 hours+ it's Anti Catabolic

I wish we had these kind of videos 25 years ago when I was at the gym 5 days a week. I took in way too much carbs, high protein, low fat and many other issues.
Complex carbohydrates and eating many veggies during the same meal n adding the fats or protiens won't affect the blood sugar :) it is also nutrient dense, it's more about the glycemic index of the whole meal than the individual food itself

Also, I may try your electrolyte solution for my marathon training in the months to come.
Stuff works great! I dont do marathons but I take it every day and love it
I'm super excited to start fasting. I didn't know how many benefits it brings!
Great video. i've been doing IF for just over a year now and you hit the nail on the head. I'm maintaining muscle mass with 2 meals a day. approx. 16 hour fasts.
What's in your meals? I eat close to 3000 calories a day. I cant do that in 2 meals 😬
@Jan S after a year no answer 😅
@@Rikki-lh2mw my bad i never saw the question, i been meaning to make a video on it but pretty much meal 1 is eggs, oatmeal, chicken and rice. meal 2 steak and rice and spaghetti. then i also eat whatever else to up the cals
oh and forgot i'm not just maintaining. i've been gaining weight (yes its possible)
2:34 I don't understand calories, since you recommend 2 meals, that would be 3000 calories! That's about 200g of fat to consume! I increased by cals to 2300- 20IF and eating around 130g fat and I'm already growing belly and lower body.
I was literally researching this topic just now as i'm 3 weeks into keto/fasting and plan on starting training again. Doc it's like you read my mind! Is it ok to eat a Banana pre-workout to fill that 50g carb goal? Or should i choose something that does not contain sugar?
I intend to use Dr Berg electrolyte solution for my pre workout run. Seems like I'm in the same predicament as you
Eating a banana or other sugary food during or immediately after a workout is the perfect time to eat it because your body is in a glycemic depleted state, therefore it actually utilises those sugars effectively rather than the carbs going through glyconeogenesis and turning into stored-fat to use when you’re in a sedentary state.
Short answer: yes, eat the banana.
i suggest not, take some mct oil for energy, no need for carbs. for potassium and electrolytes drink some vegetable juice, it's better than any energy drink for getting some minerals back. kiwi is also amazing, better than banana: less calories, more vitamins and minerals.
@@mitch-lawless Thank you for your answer :)
Definitely not. Search for Dr. Berg's other video on muscle gain. He says pre- and post- workout meals is a no-no.
I started the Omad diet nine days ago and I’ve lost 10 pounds never felt better i’m eating 1300-2000 calories a day and my muscle mass has increased by 0.5 percent i’m walking around 10,000 steps a day, I’m loving it hoping to lose 30 pounds then introduce weight training then loose A further 60 pounds thank you doc

Especially Cervical Cancer?
Have you checked Dr Berg's videos on cancer? Or a healthy immune system? Cells? Etc?
He also interviewed at least one cancer survivor.
watching your video have changed my life in relation to my relationship with food.
More on muscle building please!
Some people say the body cannot digest more than 30 to 40g protein per meal..
6 to 8 oz per meal = 170 to 220g per sitting , is this not an overkill doctor?
I am way too confused here
thank you i was waiting for this vid.
More muscle building videos please.There is not enough informed videos on the subject line this one 💪
Older athlete here. Have been doing this for awhile. Lots of questions. Podcasts please?
Have you considered calling his friday show? Or simply check if he already made videos on your questions? He most likely did.
Hi Dr. Eric. Thank you for your informative video. Regarding carbs intake, did you mean 50g PER MEAL OR PER DAY?
Per day i am assuming, no more then 70g
I’m not understanding how that is possible. I would like for someone to elaborate on that…..
VERY interesting story thank you so much for sharing this incredible story Dr Berg
Thank you. This is exactly what I have been looking for. Long-time follower.
I did intermittent fasting (2x24hr fasts per week) whilst working out 3 to 4 times per week for 2 years. I lost fat and gained muscle at the same time.

It works yes it does! I have been doing IF on a muscle building program for past 4 years. It is a much slower approach when it comes to adding mass, but you gain less fat in doing so, gaining more lean muscle as result.
Sweet,,, will try this out,,,
I do one meal a day and lift weights and do cardio on an empty stomach i be having tons of energy and more muscle than ever and stronger than ever dont make sense to me but its just work and i dont get aches and pains
What do you eat usually for the meal etc..? Thanx
Humans were literally designed to eat one big meal a day. Thats how our ancestors lived for hundreds of millenia, so its no surprise that you and millions of other people feel better than ever when they switch to OMAD. we arent meant to graze all day like cows.
Don't tell me you are younger than 25
Dr. Berg's diet tips + athlean x workout = results
How insightful! You may of just changed the way I live! Thanks!

Hello doctor Berg I’ve been watching your Chanel and I love it. It’s helped me allot. I have a question on what your thoughts are about creatine? I’m 48 years of age, I’m losing weight eating right and working out. Is creatine a good thing to take? And if so when and how often?

When you say that one can go up to even 70 grams of carbs per day, are we talking net carbs or total carbs? Thank you.
Hello Dr. Berg, my name is Lorenz, i am from Germany and i love watching your videos. Thanks for all this good information! Very easy to understand, but one thing i do not understand. If i go for Intermittent Fasting and Keto and i want to gain muscle mass (like you describe in this video), but i should only consume 50-70g of carbs per day. How do i get 1500kcal per Meal? 70g carbs * 6kcal = 420kcal. So there are about 1080kcal per meal, which i have to cover with protein and fat. How is this possible?
I would really appreciate it very much, if you or other people here in the community can give me some advice :)
Many greetings from Germany,
Lorenz
hey gute Frage
me too, this kinda confuse me. Can somebody explain this or gimme some tricks
Amazing info, love your videos filled with important content. Thanks for sharing Dr. Berg!
Nice!
Thanks!
Now is time to get shredded! 💪
The Ramadan is the best way To fasting!!.... Alhumduallah!
It seems having big meals causes me to get reflux. I guess having 3 meals in my feeding window won't completely ruin everything.
I've lost 21kg/46lbs during summer with OMAD with no exercise, since then I stopped fasting completely and started lifting weights, in the 6 months since then I've been lean bulking and gained 8kg, when April rolls around I'm going to do a new fasting routine where I eat on the training days and fast on the non-training days, so I'll fast 3 days out of the week, each one being a 36 hour fast, the other days I'll eat normal 3 regular meals and whatever I feel like eating that day.
Thanks Dr.Berg.This is awesome knowledge.I, for the past year or so, just naturally transitioned into a two meal-a-day pattern and realized that calories weren't an issue and I feel much better, lol!
Fat is better than sugar,,
Great video!! Can I just ask any meals that contain 6-8 oz of protein
thank you for this video! Though I don't understand how people can manage to eat 1500 calories in one sitting
I'd get very bloated
I think that we’re the IF comes in place,to help build muscle mass🤷🏾♂️.
I can do it if the majority of it is in liquid form.
Like I make melon juice and I feel I can actually get crazy amounts of calories in easily while doing that.
I know it's not keto but if you want more calories, fruit and vegetable juices are my pick.
Please, Doc
I saw couple videos, but give us please more material related to the gains and the conservation of muscle mass while fasting.
Especially on topics like how to increase growth hormone
naturally/ working out in starvation/
supplementing with shakes (whey) correctly
/ Rest time/ high intense work outs
And how to organize a cheat day with carbohydrates and junkie food consume.
Thank you. I am subscribed since 2018 with no regreats.
Great content. A question I have is what foods can someone eat to reach a 2,700 or 3,000 calorie goal per day while staying between 50 to 70 grams of carbohydrates? I’m having a difficult time staying under the carb limit while trying to get enough calories
Same issue for me!! Hopefully someone can help.
Eggs, meat, avacados, nuts
I am wondering the same... (perhaps drink olive oil?)💀
Your videos are flawless. Take notes everyone.
Is that 6-8 oz. of protein rich food, or really 6-8oz. of pure protein nutrition? The latter would be a lot.
Yeah that's what I'm wondering as well. 6-8 oz seems way to much. But on the other hand, 6-8 oz of protein rich food doesn't mean much.
Dont forget its 8oz per meal. So we need 16oz per day. I hope dr berg will make it clear
But if what he mean is protein food, 8oz is about two chicken breast. So one day we need 4 -5 chicken breast. Its still make sense
I think the former. 6 oz of protein alone is literally impossible
If you work a sedentary job, sure. But If you're a construction worker, plus the 3-4 intense workouts per week, 2 meals over an 8 hour window is a bad idea for putting on muscle. Maybe if you're trying to do a cut and get down to 8% body fat. I think 3 meals over a 12 hour window is the way to go for a bulk
