- Опубліковано 24 сер 2024
- Doctors mean well, but they often give unhelpful advice, especially to people who need to lose weight to improve their health. Being give unhelpful advice by a "expert" can lead to weight-loss failure, for which you will be blamed.
You'll be surprised at just how many doctors are over-weight. I reveal the percentages in this video and give more info in the links below.

The most common advice from doctors is to increase activity levels and control portion size.
Neither of which helps you at all.

My doctor was floored when he saw how much weight I had lost since the last time I saw him 2 years ago. He asked me repeatedly if I had had surgery 😳
😄😄
"I's not your fault, but it is your problem". Perfect, thank you.
It is my problem because my MD said diet won't fix my high triglycerides then prescribed two meds.
Turned to the son who has been promoting and adhering to carnivore. Thus began our self education and discovery how poorly we've been eating. Probably mostly our fault but I also call BS on the so called recommended guidelines......
This doctor completely validates what our son has been preaching to us for some time........... plus his honesty is refreshing. Thank you
My doctors were wrong about weight loss, stroke, heart disease, diabetes and not much help on how to not get cancer again! Ketogenic has saved my life!
Evidence is either clear, or at least indicative all those are primarily metabolic diseases.
Even cancer is looking to be from damaged mitochondria, affecting metabolism. Look forward to more studies in this area, and replacing the somatic mutation theory of cancer.
I scored 38 on my calcium score; cardiologist said I have coronary artery disease. Lipitor. I have NO idea what to eat!
@@teribunker5223 you need vitamin k2. This is what I've been learning about. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. A little bit. But I won't take there meds. I have my second bone scan in 2 weeks. Watch his video on vit. K2. Eggs are the best.
@@teribunker5223 meat and fat
@@teribunker5223 and nothing but it will litt go away do not consume or cook with vegetable oil.
My mom sees Dr. Nadir Ali. He’s a cardiologist in the Houston area. He uses carnivore and keto to help his patients. He put my mom on carnivore diet. He is amazing if anyone in Houston is looking for a good Dr
You're lucky to have dr Ali near you !!Best wishes to you and your mom!!👍🌹
I’m in Deer Park. Does he treat patients with memory problems? Asking for my 73 year old step dad. He’s experiencing very early dementia type symptoms.
@@greggray3741 I think he would. He actually sees my mom for her diabetes and thyroid not specifically cardiac issues. He’s passionate about helping using nutrition. I would definitely call and ask.
Yes, he is an amazing man & a doctor who thinks for himself, like Dr.Berry!👍
Could you imagine finding a doctor that not only promotes keto but was on it as well? What a blessing that would be. Same for a keto only restaurant or grocery store. One can dream.
My doctor is the one that introduced me to keto - and he was in it too! Unfortunately he moved to San Francisco. Now I’m stuck.
Watch my video about How to find a Low-Carb doctor near you
My Doctor wasn't full keto but was on low carb, then he retired to enjoy life.
Things changed, Dr. Berry. No plates, no portions... These days, the first two words that come out of most doctors' mouths about weight loss or blood sugar control are "plant based"... then "or at least mostly plant based".
Then the usual "plenty of whole grains, fruits and vegetables". They almost slur these, it's automatic.
What do you think?
Especially since our official betters already said we need to be plant based as soon as possible to save the Earth?
@@dunuth I had a doctor that told me to eat dust and water. Also gave me multiple scripts for this, that and whatever. Needless to say I never went back to him. Pushing scripts to line his pockets. It's tough to find a good doctor
My skinny doctor told me to start eating low carb, and he was right! It took a while to sink in, but I'm on the right track. Recently was able to wear size 34 pants. Started in size 50. Thank you!
Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Yup, it's really a mindset change, getting disciplined and continuos learning. One of our son's is a follower of the carnivore diet and very fit. I recently got lousy blood work. High triglycerides, etc.
I'm totally convinced low carb and no or minimum sugar is the path..... so our diet is migrating to ketovore.
MD put me on meds.... and had the audacity to tell me diet will not help.
Son called that a red flag. So began our journey to find how to fix this as naturally as possible. Take care and good health to you.
You've helped me lose over 70 lbs..
And keep it off. I recommend you to Everyone.
Thank You
Congratulations! God Bless you!
Good for you
Congratulations!🎊
Thank you for all you do. And it is refreshing to have someone who cares and not trying to sell a bunch of products. Sometimes these UA-cam channels sound like an infomercial. I know you have a book for sale, but you don't shove it down our throats every minute trying to sell it. That gives me the impression that you TRULY care.❤
Completely agree with this! 🙌🏻
The product is views on his channel.
I've lost over 100 pounds eating steak in FRONT of the TV and on a big ass PLATE! Lol.
I am amazed at the number of overweight/obese doctors and nurses in clinics and hospitals especially when they see firsthand on a daily basis the toll that obesity and diabetes takes on their patients.
Right?! My cardiologist weighs around 400 lbs.!!!!
They'll tell you they are sacrificing themselves for their patients.....The reality is, they are not on a God-like pedestal, they have the same addictions, failures, desires as everyone else.....and they get hooked on junk food, advertising, self-absorbed entitlement.....It's all just a bunch of do what I SAY, not as I do.....Some of those med. folks are 100 or more lbs. over fat and just don't care.....If they don't care about themselves.....why would they care about you any differently????
Hello. Obese nurse here. Why are you suprised? Don't smokers know the risks of smoking? They do. Don't alcoholics know they are killing their livers? They do. Addiction is not logical. Medical professionals are just people and all people have problems. All people do illogical things. The psychology of healing and coping is complicated. Education does not fix everything.
@@Imgone2024 No issue with an obese health are professional giving me advice, they have to, it's if they get judgmental when it feels off. Had a nurse once tell me I ate too much fatty food (I condlfessed to liking cheese, and eating it regularly). She told me to eat less of it. I weihhed around 50kg and had an eating disorder at the time, it just felt a bit odd..... (like the GP 25 years ago, who told me everything ever wrong with me was because I smoked, while he had a pack of B&H in his top pocket 🤣)
The problem is nearly nobody understands WHY we are all obese all of a sudden. Pretty much nobody was obese in the 1950s. It all stems from oxidative stress caused by high linoleic acid diets. Cut out the linoleic acid and replace most your carbs with good red meat and you'll shed adipose weight and increase muscle weight. I'm living proof.
Dr Chris Knobbe, Dr Paul Saladino, Dr Mercola, Dr Jason Fung, Nina Teicholz, Tucker Goodrich.
The problem isn't that the science doesn't know all this, it's that doctors are taught in medical institutions that do not care for accuracy or patient health. Doctors become complacent in their practices and stop seeking additional information.
Even this video doesn't remark on the actual cause of obesity, even if he got everything right.
When I used to be obese, my internal medicine doctor would tell me that I have to do more cardio and eat less in order to lose belly fats. But when I looked down his belly, man it's double the size of mine.
Thank you good Doctor! You are truly doing God's work trying to pull people out of a living hell of diabetes, obese, cvd, hbp, etc. Bless you!
My favorite example of the wrong "expert" advice is John Warner, former president of the American Heart Association (AHA), suffering a heart attack during the associations annual conference at the age of 52 and had to have his heart shocked back to function by a defibrillator. Most likely he was following their own advice but was unable to see that their guidelines are wrong.
LOL. I am actually in that situation with current doc. She is obese and was advising me NOT to use keto😂😂😂 and that I "needed carbs in my diet." Fast forward 3months later and 60lbs lighter USING KETO AND FASTING, Im looking for a new doctor.
Became pre diabetic.. I gave up sugar and carbs.. After a month, I reversed my eating habits and continue to increase my knowledge. I took charge of my life. I feel less arthritis and focused on creating my on happiness 👍l lost 12 pound by not eating sugar or carbs...amazing. ❤
once you know better you do better! I feel like I’m finally in healing mode now that I’ve achieved getting sugar and carbs completely under control. Thank you for being apart of my journey for the truth!
@@editprevent another week or so and you’ll be good! Make sure you drink plenty of water!
@@editprevent yes I was introduced to keto in 2017, and do remember feeling like crap the first few weeks! But it gets so much better the more and more you eliminate out sugar. And there’s so much trustworthy science behind it. Stick with it, becoming ketone/fat adapted is such a stable way of life where you’re not controlled by food cravings. Ben bikman, Ivor cummins, Nina teicholz. Ken Berry! These people are genuinely motivated to spread the facts. Turns out Saturated fat and cholesterol are good for you 😊
@Kero Angeloff , do keep track of your minerals ~ esp salt ! When eliminating carbs & sugars we need to maintain our minerals or the transition is very painful . Best of luck, you are going to start feeling amazing when you give it time 😍👍👍👍
The first few weeks are most difficult. But I promise that it gets easier! You won’t even miss the carbs and sugar! I lost 37 lbs in two months and I just did a bit of extra walking. It does help to make sure you get enough salt in the beginning. I put a little pink Himalayan salt in whatever food I’m eating, and sometimes just a pinch in a glass of water with two tbsp of apple cider vinegar. I will be Keto for rest of my life! Not only did I lose weight but it cured several minor health issues that I’d had for years!! It only took two months!! Keto & Intermittent Fasting for ever!!
Also Dr Eric Berg and Thomas DeLauer
Got a new Doctor. Quit last Doc when she insisted putting me on Statin, My total cholesterol was 230.
Lost 24Kg on Keto and 24hr intermittent fasting. I also walk heaps, do weights and play softball. Was a yoyo dieter most of my life. This works!
lol My overweight physician said he wanted me to take a statin. NOPE!! I've eaten carnivore for almost 3 years. I"m not obese or as big as my physician, not heart disease and have no type 2 diabetes. I'm 68.
Thanks Dr Berry. I was a 40lb overweight emergency doc. I found you on youtube 2 years ago and my obesity is gone, along with the sleep apnoea and AF!!!
My doc's advice is straight from 1950 and most of it is outdated and wrong.......The one thing they get right is the billing......they don't miss anything......
Hats off to you keto types. Those macros are to much of a PITA for me to track, so I went full carnivore (occasionally I dirty it up with some Keto) The best thing is, I'm not on a diet. It's a lifestyle choice that has brought me lots of personal satisfaction. I lost over 25% of my body weight 60+ lbs. I weigh less now then when I was wrestling in HS. I "feed" once a day. I say that jokingly because I eat as much meat as I want, usually 1.5 lbs or so, I walk (12K+ steps a day), resistance and weight training. If you are still reading this, listen very carefully to what Dr Berry is saying, it will change your life.
I am so tired of doctors and PA's in their 20's and early 30's telling me I'm obese. I know that. What I need is real help losing weight. I don't eat processed foods or fast food and I exercise; they look at me like they think I'm lying. Makes me not want to go to the doctor anymore.
My Endocrinologist is overweight. Because if the pandemic I didn’t meet him until 3 months after being diagnosed. By that time I was already down to 6.7 a1c from 13. All he did was congratulate me and reduced my insulin. Ha ha.
My doctor told me to eat about 50g of carbs per meal. And, this was about 2 years ago. I’m now eating about 20g per day.
I recommended Dr.Berry to everybody. You can lead a horse to water. But you can't make him drink. I've lost 15 pds in a month. I love my new journey. I feel great on the inside. Good luck EVERYONE !!!
Doc, I haven’t eaten a drop of sugar in two years. Since I started following your advice I have eaten only meat in the last two years. My biggest problem is with how much Magnesium and Potassium supplements I should add. Too much magnesium is a little bit rough on my bowels and it’s really hard to get enough potassium to supplement my diet. I put salt on everything and it’s delicious. My blood pressure is fine. In order to lose weight I’ve had to decrease the amount of food I eat. Right now I eat around 250 grams of protein each meal. I fast about 16 hours between dinner and breakfast. I’m rarely hungry and never snack. It’s amazing.
Try organ meats if you haven't already... liver is the most nutrient dense food... also, I know you're doing carnivore, but it won't hurt to have an avocado once in awhile...try and get your nutrients from food first... good luck to you 💪❤️😉🥩
I started my keto journey on January 15th this year after watching one of Doc Berrys great videos. Glad I found him before falling for all the keto sweets and cakes and stuff. Lost 20 kg so far doing keto and omad and feel great. Thank you sooo much for everything you do. Following you and Neisha ever since, recommending you guys to everyone who wants to hear it 😁. Sending lots of love from Germany ❤️
I used to get an Aviation Medical every year.Before I discovered keto I was getting the usual lecture at the medical about being slightly overweight,when the door knocked and the docs wife came in with a cup of tea and a large sticky cake.He was still lecturing me about 5 and 2 and started on the giant load of carbs.I just burst out laughing and then he realised what he was doing.He apologised but finished it off anyway.After this I discovered keto and it has been very successful.
I cannot believe that most Doctors nowadays still know nothing about diet & nutrients. Thank God that there are Doctors like Dr. Berry, and my family Physician, who happens to practice holistic medicine as well as conventional medicine.
A healthy crowd means they'll run out of business as doctors who live out of prescriptions they make.
Lockdown sucked for a year. I picked up 45# to 246 at age 63. I was over a bit at 201+ in the beginning of the year - best weight for me at 6-0 was 175#.
Saw a primary for 1st time in 5+ yrs had bloodwork ordered. A month later I see the Physicians Assistant.
I eat keto now but had to eat processed during lockdown. I now...and its what i was eating before I saw the Primary care Dr....
I eat protein/fat, i buy from the Amish, steaks, pork loin, bacon, eggs (free range/no antibiotic/hormones) and some cheeses and sliced low salted turkey breast. Few veggies.
No junk food, no more processed food, no sugars (no sodas etc), no starches.
Blood work came back:
Cholesterol 297
Triglycerides 100
HDL 46
LDL CHOL CALC 231
Non HDL Cholesterol 251
CHOL/HDL ratio 6.5
VLDL 20
-----
HGB A1C 4.9%
TSH 4.88 (i may have mishandled a cats thyroid medication)
Vitamin D was 21, insufficient, borderline deficient.
The PA, wants me to avoid all saturated fats, take 80mg Lipitor and basically eat like a rabbit. And insists that the eggs will increase my cholesterol. Did order me prescription vitamin D at 50k once a week.
I will take the vitamin D, but its no sense arguing with the PA....just gonna look for a new primary care Drs office.
I've placed the bottle of meds on a shelf as motivation. I have lupus, not taking anything that screws with the kidneys or the liver.
Wish me luck. Its been a week, I've added walking 4 miles per day.
Dr Berry you are such a good man! I’ve been doing keto/ IF 2 yrs 8 months and it’s my lifestyle and it’s wonderful! My cardiologist is against it... oh well! But a book called “Undoctored” told me not to alienate my doctors, rather invite them on MY journey to better health. My PCP was excited. Cardiologist - not so much. But the consideration here is in case I need either of them in some kind of emergency the respect I show them just might make a difference.
Hey I don’t want to hear they don’t know. If I can find doctors on YT like you, Jason Fung and Eric Berg they can too. No excuses.
Giving the wrong advice unknowingly does not require an apology.
But giving the wrong advice knowingly - like the food industry, is a crime.
Giving the correct advice, in the face of mainstream adversity, whilst saving multiple lives, deserves a medal.
With the help of good research & good advice from Doctors like Dr Berry, you can become your own health care provider.
Absolutely. Sad part is I'm 65 and realize how ignorant I have been regarding proper nutrition. Not to mention the BS guidelines' pushed.
Taking the carnivore keto detour off the carbohydrate highway.....
Southern analogies are so underrated.
THANK Dr Berry!!!!!!
Started Keto in January, ate until I was comfortably stuffed. Very little results.
Two weeks ago went Carnivore, the fat is falling off! Just what I need at almost 60 yrs old
Your videos got me to try the carnivore diet. I refer you to anyone who asks how I managed to lose so much weight.
Keto worked a bit for me, but I kept gaining and losing in cycles. The carnivore approach changed everything. It's simple and effective. In the last two years I've lost and kept off 65 lbs. I'm in my 70s and feeling better than I have in years. I've also notice my arthritis is getting better.
Thanks for getting me on this path.
My doctor is very kind, but she doesn't have a clue about losing weight. She's told me to eat six meals a day, do WW, and recently the nurse practitioner in the office told me to continue my "low carb/low fat/low salt" diet. Ha. There is no such thing as that kind of diet, but I didn't have time to debate with her at that time since I was about to be done. Unfortunately, I had gotten off the proper human diet for a long while, but now I am back and very determined to keep pushing forward.
You did your best back then Dr. Ken, no shame! " When you KNOW better, you DO better!" And now you Know❤️
30 years ago I had a doctor who kept a soft toy on his desk in his office. The T shirt on the toy read “I’m not fat, I’m just under tall”. Every time I went to his office all I could think was “I beg to differ...and you’re the doctor!” 30 years ago I could have done with a doctor who could give good dietary advice. If only I was told then what I have come to learn from you now....... Hopefully at 53 it’s not too late!
I'm 52, started 6 weeks ago and seeing good results. It’s never too late to make the change, good luck!🍀
That's the beautiful part with Keto/Carnivore. It is never too late. You are never too old to start. Best of luck!
It’s not too late! I started carnivore almost 7 months ago. I’m 53. I’ve struggled with my weight for decades-at least 30 years. In my 30s, I had a bit of success following the McDougall program-which is basically a very HCLF vegan diet-but it didn’t last long and I totally messed up my thyroid, and ended up having to have half of my thyroid removed. Despite trying to stick to a HCLF diet and exercising 5 days a week, I continued to gain back weight, getting over 200 lbs (I’m 5’4”).
Since going carnivore, I’ve lost over 30lbs so far. I’m starting to be able to wear clothes I haven’t been able to get into in 10-15 years. I rarely have joint pain anymore and I can’t remember the last time I had a migraine. I have more energy and, the best part, much more mental clarity. Granted, I wish I’d lose weight a bit faster, but I do have hypothyroidism and menopausal, however, I am making progress. For the first time in ages, I have hope concerning my weight and overall health.
I’m looking for a new doctor for this very reason. Besides, your videos were MORE help to me than the doctors advice which you just confirmed. As always, thank you again for your wonderful video? God bless
I've been a first responder since 2008 and remember when I first started to work and bring patients to the ER and seeing many Doctors and other heathcare providers out in front of the hospital smoking, eating junk and overweight in plain sight of others....yet they are telling us how to live. They still do it, but do it "behind the scenes" where others don't see, even though the entire hospital is a no smoking property....
I'm sure that the irony of a certain donut franchise sending free donuts to frontline healthcare workers, during the recent health "crisis", was not lost on you. The combination of inflammatory 'PUFA' oils, plus wheat flour, plus sugar, was exactly what was needed, to turn already-stressed/already-unhealthy medical personnel into ICU PATIENTS. How better to inflate the numbers?
Exactly! I also think many people also forget the dr. is not in the boss. WE PAY THEM, THEY WORK FOR US. why the hell would you pay someone to make you sick?
My doctor was completely unhelpful and stated those exact things, "Eat healthy, move more." I just recently found keto and am going to try it for 30 days. I hope it works because my husband thinks it is a scam and not healthy to do.
How can meat and vegetables be unhealthy?
@@miriam2909 exactly!
30 days is cool, but to get even better results...try for 90 days... I've been doing keto for 2 years and I love it 😊 Good luck to you 💪♥️😉
I’ve lost 37 lbs in two months! Also cured some years-old minor health issues (skin tags disappeared, toenail fungus gone, etc). Keto and Intermittent Fasting is best thing I’ve ever done for myself!!
@@verseau8360 way to go!
If you were to ask me how to lose excess weight, I'd tell you to go home and start eating a cow until you're satiated. Don't eat again until you are hungry.
Don't count calories, don't starve yourself. Stay hydrated, keep your electrolytes topped off, and get lots of good quality sleep.
What about fruit and potatoes and bread? Do I have to count those?
@@kaylajames9334 Nothing to count if you don't eat them.
@@angeliamayfield8913 I eat them.
@@kaylajames9334 I forget sometimes that it is not as critical for some people to give up their carbs. My husband and I are diabetic and ditching the carbs has saved our lives. We have lost weight but lowering a1c from 12 to 5.8 with no med has been wonderful.
Thank you Dr. Berry for your sound advice. Listening to your advice, exactly, I have lost 64 pounds in 9 months. I thank you for your frank, common sense approach, and your honesty! Everyone should listen to you!!!!! Thank you!!!
Do you have suggestions for macros for a 47 year old? I’m frustrated
@@PhoenixtheNovice I don't have macros. But, I am 53, I do intermittent fasting (mostly one meal a day). I will have coffee with a little cream in the morning. Occasionally lunch. And either eat beef, some butter, some cheese, maybe a few olives or avocado. I eat until I am satisfied. Then do it all again the next day. Once in a while I'll have salad with dinner. Mostly though, the meat (or fish or chicken) with butter and cheese. It's the consistency. It takes time. And I don't know if what I do will work for everyone. I've tweaked it over the 9 months. I guess I would label it keto carnivore. Watch Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Berry, Neisha, Dr. Cywes, Laura Spath, Health Coach Kait and others. It's all variations on the same idea.
@@shanagirl33 thank you for sharing🤗 I will check them out
Started your and Dr Fung’s advice 6 1/2 weeks ago. Dropped 23 lbs, and seeing sugars drop. My A1c dropped from over 7.5 and is now at 7.1. C-peptide is 2.8, so things are correcting. I started using a CGM to track my sugar patterns, and they have been improving week to week. Update - 5/8 - c-peptide is now 2.6 and A1c is 6.5.
Wishing you good results!!👍👍🤗🌹
Give A1C sometime to adjust , i think it takes about 3 months to average out !! 👍👍Awesome results!!Best wishes to you!!👍🌹
UAEBIF VIDEO Yup, agreed. I also have a lipid panel and c-peptide test in this round and am more focused on those as a reference point.
"Why should I follow your advice? Are you not following your own advice? Or is your own advice just wrong?" LOL!!! Love it! What great responses to an obese doctor!
I think I would take the more passive aggressive approach. "I see. And how is that working out for YOU, doc?"
I think a lot of older family doctors are lazy. They do not read research, they are stuck in the time zone that they trained in.
They are like that person who only listens to music that was popular when they were young.
My endo recently retired, my younger endo is happy for me to be doing IF and low carb and I no longer need insulin. (in only 8 weeks)
Brother I listen to you thank God and lost 90 pounds now I listen to myself you can't tell me when way works for everyone you are a doctor a respected doctor respected by me my body fat percentage is 12 at 62
I feel better now 9 weeks into carnivore than I have in years! Chronic lyme disease, Hashimoto's, Fibromyalgia , chronic fatigue syndrome.......off meds! I'm living again, not just existing. I had to be my own researcher and stop listening to my Doctors who were just feeding me pills.
You and Neisha are good people. Thank you.
My Dr said-5 days ago-double my cardio, only eat an apple for dinner and go to bed starving!!! Swear !!!!! I had lots of blood drawn and starting carnivore's tomorrow! Cannot wait to show her how it is done!!!!!
While we each are unique, I'd bet you will see the results just like I did. The one thing to remember is that if you fall off the horse, don't beat yourself up about it, just get right back on it. It's not uncommon, the trick is not to slide back into old habits. Good luck!
Thank you Dr Berry! ❤️
Dr. Berry -- I have your 2019 on hold at the local library, I am so much looking forward to giving it a very good read. Suggestion for the next book: Children and eating properly.
I twisted my knee and tore my meniscus. After seeing an orthopedic doctor, getting a MRI, and having 40 ccs of liquid drained off my knee, I was sent to an orthopedic surgeon. He took one look at me and said I didn't need surgery on my knee, I needed to loose weight. He mentioned gastric surgery at least 3 times while explaining to me that my knee was not swollen, just fat. When I mentioned that it was not like this before I twisted it, and that my left knee wasn't 'swollen', he started explaining asymmetrical body parts to me! It was all I could do to get out of there without giving him a piece of my mind. I am a very vocal person, but felt I would be wasting my breath...
Thank you so much for what you do...God bless you.
I learned about insulin resistance, high blood sugar level, keto, low carbohydrate intake, and intermittent fasting in December 2019, the day after my blood pressure was measured at 198/120. On that day the nurse said I should lay down and think good thoughts and a doctor wanted to me to take another pill.
About doctors, nurses, and other medical/nutrition workers being overweight and obese; I have seen that for years, being 66 years old, and always felt apprehension about the advise from these porky-physique, white-garbed medical persons.
Don't eat carbs
I've been with you most of the last three years and you make this so easy for me to follow what you are explaining. Also you provide the documentation of surveys that support the advise you follow.
One thing I consider important to me is counting some of the benefits have helped me continue on my keto/carnivore. First without my belly I can trim my toe nails without holding my breath(go ahead and laugh if you haven't experienced it). I normally eat one meal a day because I am satisfied with it. I enjoy not preparing three meals a day, not taking up my time with eating three plus meals a day, as I once did. Hey and less dishes to wash with just one meal a day.
There have been bumps in the road to weight loss and recovering from metabolic syndrome(still not completely there). Thanks Dr Berry you have been a great help to myself and several friends and family members. 73, Mike
Been working out for well over a year religiously. 2-3 days a week heavy weight lifting. While I noticed a ton of strength increase but my gut never went away. Recently jumped on the keto train- in a week I lost over 10 pounds. I don’t really feel like I have lost strength. Definitely felt the keto flu but I’m over that now well into my second week and I feel tons better. My fingers and wrist used to hurt all the time because I have a sedentary desk job and type a lot. That went away. My gerd seems to be getting better already as well. And I no longer feel like I’m gonna pass out from a carb comma after eating a meal. I think this is a true lifestyle change for me!
Do not feel bad. When you know better you do better! And you are doing that daily! THANK YOU DR. BERRY FOR ALL YOU DO!
Well, my doctor really didn't give me any advice about weight loss. I was overweight, especially since my high blood pressure has been weight sensitive since my 20s, but I wore it well in not looking "fat". But I knew I needed to lose weight because of my BP but also to get rid of my severe fatty liver. I lost it with keto and my doctor was delighted about it and since I'm off my BP meds and take none at all now he said I was a pharmaceutical company's worst nightmare. He even said he might try keto since he has other patients who have gotten off their BP meds from keto.
Hey Dr. Berry. I had an inverted P Wave or something on my EKG and my Family Doctor sent me to the ER. No chest pain or anything. In fact I felt great. My BP was way to high again, but it does that sometimes. Well I went to the ER they said yep it's an abnormal EKG. They sent me to a cardiologist.
He said you need to loose weight. I said I know I have lost 130 lbs in the last 3 years, I used to be 453 lbs., it didn't help my BP at all though. He said do you smoke? I said I quit about 6 months ago, that didn't help my BP either. I also go more exercise, didn't help. I tried stopping salt, till my heart started skipping beats because I was low on sodium. Still had HIGH BP. I told him in need to up my BP meds until I get the rest of the weight off. He asked what I did to loose the weight. I said I eat everything that you would tell me to not eat. I eat MEAT, lots of meat. All colors of meat, and fat. Sometimes I have and entire stick of butter with one meal. I cook in lard and bacon grease. And the weight just started coming off, and all my arthritis went away too. His JAW dropped and he starting talking about cholesterol and putting me on a statin. I am like my Cholesterol is fine, and you're going to LOVE my triglycerides.
Well a whole battery of tests later. I was poked, prodded, injected with things that were in lead containers that said radioactive. I was in a lot of different machines and scanners, and they put me on a treadmill and tried to run me till i died. And they did an echo. I had a full round of lab work, etc.
I went back to see him. And he said your heart is Normal. There are no blockages, you heart valves are great they close completely, your cholesterol is great, your triglycerides are great. He said I don't know how it's working, but keep doing what you're doing and loose the weight. Oh and the inverted P-Wave seemed to disappear when they were doing the tests, they think my heart was just getting tired from the High BP. They upped my Lisinopril and told me to come back for a follow up in 6 months.
I've tried everything discussed plus every pill, powder and poison on the market nothing works except the proper human diet. Down 25 pounds in a little over 2 months. Thank you Dr Berry!
Have you heard of a weight loss program called Naturally Slim? My employer is paying for it and I joined in January. At first I thought it was going to be good because they talked about eating until you are comfortably full and only eat when you are hungry. Ok, I like IF and OMAD. But then the lessons were about how you can eat all your favorite foods, just in smaller portions, eat slowly using a system of eating for 10 minutes, waiting for 5 minutes, then resume eating for 10 minutes. They also say eat your favorite foods first. Nothing is off limits! If you get hungry between meals they say to drink something called H2Orange. It's a concoction of 1 part OJ to 7 parts water. You sip on it throughout the day to fight hunger. The rest of the program is telling you how to overcome emotional and stress eating. It's pointless. People claim to loose weight on. I'm going back to keto after falling off the wagon a couple years ago. It's the only way I can loose weight.
I've got a physicians assistant who is prior military. He has seen my progress over the last two years but yet still refuses to believe in a ketogenic lifestyle.
I can't wait to tell him Ive gone almost exclusively carnivore. 🤣🤣
Please video it so we can see the look on his face!!!!
This is my favourite medical channel because you always back up your claims with sources👏🏻
Thank you muchly for sharing this important information with us all.
Take care & Happy Easter Weekend to you, yours, & everybody here too. 👍🐇🐑🐣

Yael, I miss you and hope you are doing well.
My doctor mentioned that I had gained 3 lbs and his body shape was round. It was all I could do to not say "OK, tubby."
Thank you Dr. Berry! I was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis and was looking on line to see how I could cure it with out taking those nasty medications. I came across your videos and have been hooked on them for days now. I am on day 2 of carnivores eating and I am so looking forward to feeling better in not feeling the arthritis & everything else that is going out of my body! Thank you!
What you would have said 15 years ago, is still being told in medical clinics today.
I left my doctor because she was obese so her validity of any information regarding how to eat is hypocritical. 188 to 161 lbs took a year its a lifestyle. It takes more mental power than physical power to follow the proper human food lifestyle.
I was healthy And fit. I stop pooping like usual and got asma and gained weight. Nutritionist told me that their plan would work I went to 5 of them. I gained 30kg following their plan. Now they don't know what to tell me. Gastroenterologist says they can't do anything more. They don't know what I got.
Almost 10 years like this.
I'm depressed. Doctors don't listen at all.
Watch all these videos.. you'll be on your way to being healthy again
learn everything you need about keto and intermittent fasting .
dr. jason fung look him up, dr Berry here is excellent as well. you can do it .
may be you have deficiency of some sort like magnesium citrate , eat lots of green leafy vegetables with keto diet.
Ive been skinny fat whole my life, im from indonesia where rice is daily basis, youre considered havent eat if you have not eat rice in here.. But after i watched your videos and doing carnivore as lifestyle, now i can see my 4-packs without cardio or gym (never got into gym ever actually).. Though im still not full carnivore, 5 days carnivore + 2 days normal, im trying to adapt vince gironda's method.. But its really helpful for me, love handles are gone.. Doc,, youre a lifesaver thankyou very much 🙏🏼

Great advice Ken. My Dr. retired 27 years ago haven't found another one yet. I did make a trip to the emergency room for stiches a couple years ago.
You gave me a guideline basically!!!! I started keto like two weeks ago and not loosing weight whatsoever. Not even water weight! Then I realized that I wasn’t eating enough to lose weight. I ate until full at dinner with clean keto but I didn’t have time to eat properly at lunch or breakfast. I started eat more healthy fat during my lunch now doing my meal prep for my lunch. Just few more eggs and half avocado. It showing progress slowly but sure
I love you guys! I am coming up on 60 days Carnivore and have lost 40 lbs so far. I have learned SOOOOooo much watching your videos and live Q & A's and you have helped me so much to be successful on my journey to this point. Not to get all mushy, but I can't tell you how much I (and I am sure others) appreciate what you do to help people get healthy and break the mold of lies we have been told!
"Physician heel thy self". Thanks for all I've learned from you.
After being Keto for over a year and having reversed an autoimmune disease including RA and off all drugs, I was in my doctor's office for an overdue lipid check. I'm right in the middle of my weight range and in excellent health. My (obese) doctor, , after seeing my total cholesterol was "high" proceeded to give me dietary advice. I really struggled to keep a straight face and rejected the idea that I should take a statin.
I have kidney disease and can't eat a lot of meat. I have to eat carbs for potassium bc I have hypokalemia. Over the last 6 months I have gained 30lbs. I've had ckd for 7 years, following my diet. This gain is new to me.
That's exactly what my doctor told me. And, his advice didn't work for me either. I believed the lies. I was on 3 blood pressure meds (for "Essential Hypertension"), and a statin drug for about 20 years. And, taking the meds WAS easier than even thinking about why I needed them. Over that time I did begin to study vitamins and supplements, and started taking the best I could find. Toward the end, my blood pressure started going up (I assume because of the vitamins I was taking - your body is self healing and self regulating). My doctor accused me of stopping my meds and wouldn't even talk to me. He happened to be retiring that day. I stopped all medication, and didn't even look for a new primary care physician. What a racket! The day after I stopped the statin drug, I made a list of about 25 side effects that went away. And, that was just the beginning Then, I found you! My new diet has produced wonders that even vitamins can't match! Thank you Dr Berry!
Every time I go into a hospital to visit someone I am shocked to see how overweight most of the staff are! Very disconcerting to see “healthcare workers” looking more unhealthy than the patients!
Ah I do find your voice soothing, shame I'm in the UK and in bed when you do the livestreams. Interesting thing - last time I went for a health check, the Dr asked me if I ate a healthy diet. I said yes. Je didn't specify they type of diet, didn't ask me what I ate, or anything. He probably assumed I ate the standard awful food pyramid diet, but he didn't ask that. I wouldn't call it progress but at least I'm not getting nagged 🤣
We have “judgement” and discernment as a way to preserve our own well-being. I’m going to continue to use my judgement. And I know that I’m being judged, which can be highly motivating. I wonder if our societal problems are somehow connected to judgement-shaming.
Keto + IF is changing my life, thank you. I am curious about something however. How is it that Vegans who eat high carbs, pasta, bread... are still able to lose weight, decrease insulin resistance, etc. ?
Can I squeeze lemon or lime in my water while on keto?
Yes...but it's better to put the whole fruit slices in the water..when eating fruit.. it's better whole than juiced😉
"Eat less and move more" is still the best advice, it's foolish to say otherwise. "You will feel hungry" yes you will, you give your body fewer calories so it'll want more. Some diets make those feelings weaker but the craving never goes away completely. "It's not your fault, but it is your problem", my weight is most definitely my fault. Being in denial about that is not healthy in my opinion.
Yep. Just was told this today. I’m 37 and 274lbs. I was told to do dash diet and all I want to do is eat more and more. I don’t know what to do.
Doc, don’t stop with the videos. They are helping people. Keep up the good work!
I fired my DR two months ago. He is 78 years old and clearly hasn't learned anything since going to medical school. He is horrible. I now see a young Physician's Assistant who knows Keto and intermittent fasting, by the direction of my Nurse Practitioner wife!
The brutal truth. Thanks, Dr. Berry. Love your dedication to making things right.
Thank you so much for your honesty and transparency Dr. Berry. Very refreshing. Reading your book now. Keep up the great work!
I have starved and craved my entire life eating salads, fruits, non fat this, no fat and I have been fat my entire life. I'm so tired of the roller coaster ride. I start Keto tomorrow.
Thank you for your honesty Dr B
We all need to be able to think for ourselves. We need to be our own advocate.
You are so right, I absolutely don't trust an overweight doctor about maintaining healthy weight, but I would trust her about infectious diseases.
I’ve heard all of these from previous PCP! Thank you for speaking about this 💕
