399 days Carnivore. 645 days quit smoking. 682 days quit drinking. 93 pounds weight loss. Lean muscle gain. A massive reduction in inflamation, depression and brain fog. I have been reborn in many ways. My cognitive abilities have improved. My hormone levels are massively improved. I could go on and on but you get the picture. BTW I did this with a Hashimoto's autoimmune diagnosis to boot. Shout out to Dr Berg for being a classy human being. 51-year-old fella here from the north of the UK.
I was about to comment about carnivore as well, but you beat me to it. 😅 I'm only like a couple weeks full blown carnivore because I eased my way into it for like a month and a half.
I agree it's despicable it doesn't matter the animal, can't treat living things like that especially just for wider profit margins, I quit eating chicken it's all that purple wood pulp texture and bad parts now, they make the chickens into walking tumors with shots now a lot of it isn't really meat it's tumor
We live in a society where a mother will scold a teenage child for smoking cigarettes but take them through a fast food drive thru not understanding they are creating the same damages as the cigarettes do.
These day EVERBODY has microplastics in their body ,in your lungs, brain liver etc ,baby s are born with it😢 everything is contaminated with it the air you breath the food you eat( also biological) food.
One difference; innocent bystanders do not suffer damage from "second-hand Fast Food". (I too lost my father due to lung/heart conditions brought on primarily from cigarettes, though his consumption of the SAD surely didn't help matters.)
McDonald's used to cook it's fries in beef tallow, until the late 80's (early 90's in some regions). They used to taste so good, even when cold. Now they taste like something found at the bottom of a dumpster, even when fresh.
It's sad that fast food used to be about cooking simple pleasure food for your convenience but was turned into cooking cheap, artificial, GMO foods for cheap.... And now... It has somehow become expensive for the latter quality of food
There is a good podcast episode about that, Malcolm Gladwell - Revisionist History „McDonalds broke my heart“ about the story behind. One man ruined it for everybody
I am blessed to live in South Korea. Restaurants here actually serve real food, lots of meats, vegetables, and kimchi. There isn't much junk in supermarkets, and the price is really affordable 👌🏽
@UncleDavesKitchen some foods only, not all, of course, no country is ever perfect. But overall the quality of food is better, thus not so much obesity.
Been about that many years for me too! And yet when I drive by my local McDonald's the line is around the block? I can't figure it out, other than to say some have discernment and most don't in these end days! "Eyes to see, and ears to hear with" ?
This is interesting. My hat goes off to you my friend. Most need to follow what you do. Fast food is sooo bad for us. Do you EVER eat anything out at restaurants or from restaurants to take home? Also, can you share what you eat mostly on a daily basis? Just to give us an idea of what you do?
Same here , haven’t been in a fast food restaurant in years 10-15 years at least . I only drink about 4 sodas a year , and i feel great . And from what i hear its not cheap either !
@@girlygirl1890 The reason I did not eat it was because the franchise owner was a Coach and he would come in and talk sports with us. His advice to us was not to eat any of it unless we wanted to be obese or get "sugar" (diabetes) back then, they called it sugar. Most of the customer base was indeed obese. Recently I went back to visit that town and it's an absolute shock to see . Fast food Restaurants are everywhere and the town is known for Heart attacks and Diabetes. I don't have any of those issues and I don't take any pharmaceuticals at all.
I worked at Carl's Jr for two weeks as a teenager b4 I got a job at Ross and I promised myself I will never eat there again; over 20 years later I still have not. Yuck, is all I can say.
Ppl used to mock me , bc for yrs i use to work in restaurants ... but i used to read the ingredients that this food was made out of ... some of it was barely 'legally' considered EDIBLE ! ... But bc i worked at those places , it gave me a greater appreciation of knowing what to eat ... & how important it was to go that extra mile in patiently learning how to cook. Im NOT the greatest cook now , & i have eaten alot of 'overly' cook food ... but like anything thats truely good & right for you , there is a sacrifice & a process. I Thank GOD & it's been a Blessing in my life , that he took my path in that direction ... bc i now see the health problems & manic , on-the-go lifestyle this type of diet can lead to ...
I worked at both Wendy's and McDonald's as well as other restaurants but I assure you that corners will be cut at all of these joints. Company policy may say to change fryer oil out daily but I have personally seen it used for well over a week and the only reason we changed it when we did is the oil was so dirty that it was making breaded products look black and dark...we never got any complaints over it
I went to McDonald's and ordered $5 value meal, 20 minutes before going to red cross to donate blood..the nurse checked my vital signs & told me to go home..could not donate:( 3:21
most people already know these health issues but they can't quit, not for long if they do. cause these fast foods alter your emotional balance and you become sadder than usual. these "tasty" foods become your rescue again and it's a vicious cycle of momentary pleasure and all kinda pain...
I think it has more to do with convenience. People are too lazy to prepare and take a lunch to work and who feels like cooking after work. Fast food joints are terrible for your health but they are fast and convenient so people give in unfortunately
Until laws are past and more education is forced into people's heads it won't change. Vegetarian/Veganism has helped hurt their bottom line but not enough.
I was in the Fast Food Industry for 30 years. 23 as a Franchisee. All of your points are exactly what I experienced and what was taught to us on how to increase profitability. When the Franchise went from privately held to Publicly traded all of these points were magnified to increase the profits to a higher level for stockholders at the expense of franchisees and customers. After the IPO they increased the fat levels of menu items, included more sugary menu items, “improved” the product by adding hydrogenated oils, salts, and sugar that chemically created a more addictive food. In the end I was 100 lbs heavier and not only that I saw numerous regular customers die from their diet of poor food. With the menu changes they also lowered the menu price and increased the volume of by bundling menu items. This increased the profitability of the franchise while cutting profitability to the franchisee. These massive franchises market to your children because as they told me “Nothing sells product better than a child incessantly asking for a parent to get something”. I’ve never regretted leaving. Every single point you made is 100% accurate.
Exactly. Everything is done to increase profitability, and drive the cravings. Hence why Krispy Kreme has a "hot" light when they are frying the donuts. The current restaurants today, receive almost ALL of their foods preprocessed for them. As a truck driver, I haul lots of groceries. Either for home use, or that of restaurants. I have discovered the larger the advertising budget, the more likely everything that store or restaurant sells, is prepared in a factory, and then trucked to their distribution center, then to their stores. With little to no real cooking taking place at the restaurant other than heating up the item, or taking it out of a bulk pack and putting it in a different package. Everything is pre measured or weighed. It's crazy.
@@123lowpnothing wrong with corporate profits ... what's wrong is forced vax mandates to "protect" those whom have made sh.t choices with their health
You mentioned mass-produced chickens. I used to buy the Sam's club rotisserie chicken for $4.98 at least once a week and I could tell my health was starting to really take a beating. Each Sam's club sells about 500 chickens a day x 46 clubs in FL That's a lot of chickens to come up with every single day Of course the fact that they grow them in Little boxes and they never see daylight and fed grains. Inhumane 😓 Garbage in, garbage out
Good to know! I just started buying food at Sam's and my stepmom raves about the rotisserie chickens...how big they are....yea, most likely because they're hyped up on growth hormones. I've only bought one but won't be buying anymore.
Glad that you shed light on factory farming. It makes getting grass fed meat more compelling. Hopefully with enough momentum the factory farms can be stopped.
If you were to watch his other video, grass-fed isn't all that great like it's made out to be, as grass-finished is the way to go. Just type in Grass-fed vs. Grass-finished Dr. Eric.
Hello Dr. Berg, I have been on the ketogenic lifestyle, OMAD IF and have been following your videos since 6/2022. Since then, I have lost over 90 pounds, weigh 138 lbs currently and 29 waist size. I also reversed my insulin-resistance and metabolic syndrome entirely along with their degenerative conditions like HTN, obesity, pre-diabetes, stage 3a CKD---normal kidney functions, A1C of 4.8, fasting glucose 72, fasting insulin 4.3, TG-66, HDL-64. Normal inflammatory markers, including uric acid. Normal GGT levels. I feel great and energetic. I walk over 50 miles a week. Thank you for saving my life and improving the quality of my life. I always recommend your videos to friends and family interested in Ketogenic lifestyle and intermittent fasting. Thank you, and best wishes. 😊
I have been boycotting McDonald's and all fast foods for more than a decade so far. I eat just one big meal every day that i prepare myself. Most of the ingredients come from local organic, free range farmers or local markets supplied mainly by those same farmers. I am 67 and use no pharmaceutical products, prescribed or over the counter for any reason.
Definitely the way to go. Most folks are not designed to eat three meals a day, particularly if it involves at least one fast food meal. And we wonder about obesity. It's pretty obvious.
@@Dman3827 Guess it depends on the individual but the late Dr. Moseley pioneered the 5-2 diet. 5 days on two meals. 2 days on just juice and water. Too difficult for some but it is widely accepted to be one of, if not, the most successful weight loss diet for folks who need to shed the pounds. No snacks. Ever. But again - not for everyone particularly those with binge tendencies. Benefit? You can literally eat whatever.
Get yourself a slow cooker and some recipes. All you have to do is ... wait. The cooker does it all for you and when it's ready you can enjoy a healthy meal with zero effort. If you wanna be extra lazy, prepare meals for a week, freeze them and all you have to do it microwave them when you're hungry.
Even healthier, take a frozen meal out of the freezer the night before and reheat it in a pan/oven. Microwaves change food at an energetic level, not good.
Preparing your own food is so much better, not only are you able set your own food hygiene standards but you're also able to determine the quality of the ingredients you use and tailor the flavor exactly to your taste, and as an added bonus its significantly cheaper.
I really hope people appreciate your videos. This right here is a blessing. Not to mention a risk for you because someone with as much knowledge as you these corporations don’t want you exposing them. I appreciate your honesty about health. It HAS to be discussed and people HAVE TO KNOW what’s truly causing our health epidemic in this country and all around the world. Much love Dr. ❤
It's public knowledge and really only Oprah suffered when she spoke bad on beef in the early 90's and was pressed to backtrack by lobbies. What may not be as known are the simple benefits of flexibility (I like essentrics), or just not ordering soda (outside of the probiotic stuff like olipop/poppi of course and seltzer is cool) adds up to good habits.
I have a lupus diagnosis. I was doing “ok” with my diet this past year, it wasn’t terrible but I was still eating junk foods intermittently throughout the week. Had a health scare not too long ago and was in ICU for 3 days with angioedema. After that i knew I had to change my diet and get out of my stressful job. Cut out dairy, gluten, eat Whole Foods now, intermittent fasting everyday and haven’t had fast food in months. Started exercising daily. Went from around 213 lbs and am now down to 201 lbs within 2 months of making the change. Swelling has been gone since. What we eat is everything guys. Dr Berg’s videos have helped me so much on this journey.

All i'm gonna say is that everything I don't care what it is has a dark side to it Including both pros and cons, What's bad is that my mother is allergic to corn, Corn is in a Ingredient that's in almost everything that we eat and drink to keep the price down And boost up the sweetness.
I definitely think its convenience over cost when cooking at home. You can find some pretty healthy deals at the super market, AND you can make your own food way better than you can buy at any of these restaurants. Knowing what to do / creativity with the food is the fun part even though it takes time!
I am from europe, and i feel sorry for the people of USA. 😢 the food, the drugs, the weapons. Expensive healthcare. Cows need grass, nothing else. What a horror.
For most people, the rest of us who have learned to eat correctly find plenty of the healthiest foods and now what to avoid. You are r right however that the majority of Americans have been lied to for a long time but I think in some ways, the tide is turning. As for the weapons, I live in Las Vegas, nearly twenty years and have yet to see a gun crime and frankly in my 60 years have been fortunate enough to have not been exposed to it personally.
I agree with the food in North America. There is something definitely wrong with it. When I am in Europe. I literally eat everything and anything with zero regard in ‘counting calories’. And I lose weight. When I come home and eat even just modestly. I bloat and gain weight. My conclusion is not how much we eat. But what the food is made of. Fast food and anything North American wreaks havoc on me.
You're absolutely right. I notice the difference in quality of food everytime I go to Europe. A lot of chemicals are banned in Europe, but are allowed in the u.s. Weight lose is guaranteed just by spending a few weeks in Europe
The Mc Donalds around me are a lot less busy. Idk if it's because of the drive through or food delivery services. I haven't had any since the pandemic. I used to go everyday.
There was an old location in San Diego across from the base that was making people sick. People were flooding its reviews saying how they were getting sick. They suddenly demolished the place and rebuilt an entirely new location with a brand new building.
Dr. Berg. Thank you for all of your fantastic content over the years. You open the eyes of people, who have been lied to for their entire existence, to the evil that exists in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Make you sick but keep you alive to become dependent on chronic medication. Your bravery to tackle these giants does not go unnoticed and more importantly in America as an American. Huge props! Keep doing what you do!
Growing up getting fast food use to be a treat, it’s become a staple in so many households now. So many families think they need their kids involved in so many activities that sitting down at home to a home cooked meal isn’t a thing anymore. Then they complain about how busy they are. You’re choosing to be “busy “. I can go months without eating fast food. I’d rather go home and eat an apple with peanut butter then eat fast food. If I do eat fast food it’s a salad.
If that fast food salad you mentioned has iceberg lettuce(zero nutritional value) and GMO vegetables sprayed with all kinds of chemicals, it really isn't better for you than any of the other junk they sell.
Yup I worked there for 4 year back in 2009-2013 and they BARELY changed the oil and when it was changed the fries were fresh and white. Not to mention the pickles and that come in a package 🤢
That is the managers fault. The oil in the fryers needs to be changed regularly. I worked at a McDonalds in the 1970’s and they were very vigilant about this and about maintaining the all equipment, and the cleanliness of the stores. Working there taught me good work habits that have followed me until this day. Did you ever hear about the shake and ice cream machines being broken down years ago? You never did, although they are somewhat complicated to assemble and disassemble, they were taken apart, cleaned religiously after closing at night, now, not so much. I don’t know if it is out of laziness or ignorance that those machines are out of service so much nowadays.
@@fratzogmopars There is a video out there about the Taylor company that maintains the ice cream and milkshake machines for McDonald's. You should find it (I can't remember the name of it off the top of my head) but it explains why they are always broken.
It takes some discipline, but after weaning yourself off of food like this, you will find it highly unappealing. The first move I made was to stop drinking Coke, then I worked on the starchy carbs, and now I'm trying to eliminate seed oils. The biggest temptation are the fries (yummmm) but I know that if I keep working at it, I'll be able to eliminate those, too. It truly is a lifelong process.
I recently watched a video on the topic of fasting. Fasting can cure addictive cravings. This lady said she was addicted to diet coke and after the fast, she never drank one again and even threw her 24 pack away! Fast and research into how harmful that stuff your craving really is!
If you really enjoy fries and want to wean off of starchy foods, make your own fries and cook them in beef tallow to get away from seed oils. If you cant get tallow. use avacado oil which is still better than all those other oils.
I wish we were informed earlier our lives! I am 32 now and I feel like if we’ve been informed by people and doctors like you earlier on we would all feel better
My husband and i have realized we make much better food at home. We select the oils we use, the quality of our food and it ends up tasting wayyyy better than most restaurants we have dined in.
Last Ramadan, I did not drink soda because you warned us that it was harmful, and in the coming days I will try to stop drinking it completely. Thank you.🌹
I live in rural France… thankfully fast food restaurants are too far away to use regularly. If we want a burger we go to local abbatoir shop which sell meats from locally reared animals and buy their own burgers that are minced and made into patties while you wait from 100% chuck beefsteak. A large costs less than 2 euros. Can’t beat the real thing!
Well you must have a lot of time in your hands. That's not what American life is about. Life in America is about being fast and getting things done, Now! No one has time to sit around all day, like you
@@whatsmyname337 I chose to move from U.K. for that very reason. I lived near London and was sick and tired of the rat race. I live a more simple relaxed life here with no keeping up with the Jones’ lifestyle! Many other friends from U.K. have chosen this way of life and don’t regret a minute of it!
Wow that video really opened my eyes. I didn't know any of that stuff. I haven't ate at McDonald's in 10 years because every time I did I would get an upset stomach. But I do still eat at Arby's about once a month. I get ice T to drink and I have to tell them I want the small fry. Thank u for the info.
February I weighed 196. I’m 5’9” tall, 52 year old male. I now weigh 158 all lean muscle. Quit drinking for the most part. Carnivore about 80% daily the rest is fruit and honey. Workout and get away from all this shyt. Be healthy, live long my friends
I was a long haul truck driver from age 21 to 28 . I'm 36 now . Used to eat McDonald's for breakfast, lunch and dinner with the occasional Wendy's burger King etc . Was 180 pounds when i started when I quit was 270pounds ...
Oh my, just bring a gas stove and frying pan to cook the meat and eggs on the side of the road. As a truck driver myself i can always access a supearket or butcher shop to buy meat
I'm changing my diet. I was on holiday in Greece for a week, and ate mostly meat and other protein rich foods, and felt really great, and felt the urge to workout more than I already do. Back home I returned to my usual diet consisting mostly of carbs, and I experience energy dips after meals, brain fog etc. I'm done with it, so I'm changing my diet to lower amounts of carbs, and more protein and fats.
Everything i thought to be true in my world i now know to be false. I've learned so much over the last 14 months since finding your channel. I'm glad i know these things, though it is hard to see so many around me suffering. i look back and can't believe the way i was living.
I cant touch fast foods because I have recently diagnosed pancreatitis. In my mid 20s I became depressed that I couldn’t have unhealthy fried takeouts and fast food but seeing videos like this reminds me that I won’t miss much
It’s fleeting along will a lot of other things. Things that feel good but don’t last long. Good news is Jesus does last forever🤍 I pray you are healed in Jesus name🫶🏽
This doctor has good energies. It shows he is very kind and honest person and true man.

I have not eaten in any restaurant or fast food place since New Year’s Eve. I don’t miss it, mainly because the food has become so BAD in the past few years.
I started eating grass fed beef with arugula or cabbage every day felt so much better my gut and bowel movement improved 100 % I ate at a restaurant last week and it tore my gut up the food now days is poison
True. I can cook anything way more delicious than any restaurant in my town. Love my cooking. Only eat out on work emergencies or if out socializing with family or friends.
Only thing edible are the burgers. Even then, go with biggest ones. But, I prefer spending a bit more for a steakburger. Or getting one at a local diner that makes their own bread.
I was addicted to fast food eating for many years up until over 2 years ago. I can happily say I've been eating your version of healthy keto since then, and I feel so much better now. It was difficult at first, just like most things in life, but I had no choice to, because my health was going downhill during that time of unhealthy eating. Dr. Berg, I will say by listening and learning from you while not knowing what I didn't know at the time, you have literally saved me from so many serious health problems that most likely would've kept me sickly. Thank you for all you do!!!!!
Wow Dr.Berg, nice to see you touching upon the dark side of things which COULD cost you and arm and a leg. Kudos for your courage. I mean at least you talked about the innocent dark side. The real dark side is far more sinister.
Having spent a number of years working in the industry i can honestly say i wont eat out anymore. If i didnt make it i wouldn't eat it. Another thing i noticed is how they rip off the consumer is to charge extra for toppings, but when the customer asks to remove certain toppings they still charge the full price rather than deduct the cost of the toppings.
I'm working towards a 10 day fast, tomorrow noon I'll have 72hrs fast. I'd like to properly hydrate as well as mineralize my body. Again, thank you for your feed back.
Yup! Stopped by a place last month for the first time in a LOOONG time, and a friggin' small combo was almost $13, for something that used to cost $7-$8! I can make several meals at home for that price.
When I was born I had wolf Parkinson white syndrome and I was born a month early my mom had to take a bunch of medicine to get it to me before i was born and was in the hospital for a long time, we stayed in the Ronald McDonald house and they paid for all our medical bills that there’s no way my parents would have been able to pay for
Mad respect for you Dr Eric Berg. Thanks for speaking the truth. A lot of lives will be helped and awareness of the planet increased. I feel the awakening.
I used to eat at MCD, but I must eat a heart healthy diet now. MCD is cheaper than buying food at the grocery store, but MCD is not healthy. MCD tastes pretty good though.
....lazy people mostly eat there , and it's convenient for those who work near by. Me ? I have ALWAYS made my own lunch 😊 healthier AND saves me HUNDREDS all year. Plus I find the time to relax my Brain while everyone else is in the Traffic 👍🏻😂👍🏻. Wake up people 😊✌🏻
I realized how much they were charging for drinks and when I started ordering just solid food they legit got mad because I was cutting into their losses
Dr. Berg - I love how you always find a way to reference and link your previous videos to keep pointing people in the right direction for information about their health. Thank you for all that you do.
Almost two years ago, in large part thanks to you Dr. Berg, I quit eating sugar, cut carbs, quit fast food, processed food and went on a Mediterranean diet. I went from being borderline pre-diabetic, having high blood pressure, joint pain, low energy and being generally miserable, to losing the extra pounds and reversing all the rest. I came to the realization that not only is fast food not cheap, but it's low quality and has virtually no food value. The experience forever changed the way I look at food and I will never go back. I'm 61 years young, in fairly good shape, full of energy and I feel blessed that I made a course correction before I shortened my life.
I ate fast food 3x a day for decades. I had no ill effects or was over weight but did change my diet to keto and grass fed beef and organic vegetables. Where I noticed a difference was the massive amount of money I stopped spending on junk food, seed oils, bread, sugar and processed foods. I've been keto, organic and grass fed for 2 years now. Honestly I feel and look the same from when I ate crap but I know I'm doing better for my body and saving money even after buying the better quality foods that I now prepare at home.
I would make a small suggestion. Ray Kroc, who bought out the McDonald brothers, revolutionized mass-produced food. During his time at the helm, “employees” became “human resources.” People who worked there were fungible and replaceable. The pay scale for these people stayed at the very bottom, the lowest of the low, so Kroc might be considered a material contributing factor to the elimination of the middle class. So, from one perspective, there is no bright side to McDonald’s and fast food; it’s all the dark side.
Haven’t eaten fast food in almost a year? Or close to it. The last time I was caught in town and needed to just get the kids something. I went to Wendy’s. Got 3 grilled chicken sandwiches, 3 bottles of water. Was like $16 !!!! Fries and drinks are expensive! and complete trash anyway.
Low priced but comes with a high price at the same time. Well said! I see how easily people can become addicted to fast food. That is why you literally have to cook at home and make that the norm instead of quickly picking something up.
From my mid-20's I had horrible seasonal allergies, each Spring allergies turned into sinus then bronchitis every April and Sept. In 2012 I cut out all BK, Wendy's and McD's along with some other things I changed and all allergies went away, but I thought it was the other things that were the fix. Over the next few years it crept back into my diet and in 2017 I had a case of bronchitis I couldn't shake, vacation to Jamaica, got Zika, sick, etc, stopped fast food again after that and same results. In the past 7+ years I got COVID in Aug 2022, in Feb 24 I got a viral sinus infection on a cruise and those are the only times I've so much as had a runny nose since 2017.
Thank you Dr Berg for educating about how the animals are "kept" before slaughtered. It's important people really become aware of what kind of lives their food live, before ending up on their plate. Im in agreement with everything you've said about the food fed, the pharmaceuticals given, the additives added....thank you so much for putting it all so succinctly. I follow a vegan lifestyle, not plant based. I eat whole real food, organic, nuts seeds leafy greens sprouts berries tofu (for complete daily protein) avo, mushrooms, beans, cucumber tomatoes, basically avoid high carb veg. Feel amazing. Super fit and strong for almost 45. Have been told look at least 10 years younger. Enjoy training and always creating a stronger bodymind. Appreciate my strong core 😊
I have not eaten fast food in 15 years. I only go to a restaurant maybe once a year or less. I eat homemade and organic and have been doing Keto since January
@terlyn that is so interesting. You are disciplined to be able to make your food everyday. Can you share with us what you may eat daily. Just to give an idea?
@@girlygirl1890 I make suis vide chicken breast at the beginning of the week. I mix a chop salad with spring greens, add other seasonal vegetables. I put homemade poppy seed dressing made with olive oil, add my chicken. I top with cranberries and pumpkin seeds. I eat a variation of the salad up to 5 times a week. On the other days I eat a hamburger patty made with grass fed ancestral beef. I top with sauerkraut and raw cheese and have slices of avocado. Once a week I eat wild caught salmon with a steamed vegetable. I only eat one meal a day. I have an organic arabica coffee with steamed heavy cream for my breakfast. Then I am not hungry until dinner time. That is what I eat when my work schedule is busy. It does not take a lot of planning and not a lot of expense. I don’t miss eating fast food at all. I do have a book of all my favorite recipes that I have updated to be all organic
@@terlyn1615 Good on you for eating that way. Your information is sooo helpful and detailed. I guess I can just cook the meat ahead of time for the week and freeze it too. That will make things much quicker for me during the week. Thank you for your details!💕💕
@@terlyn1615 Also, one meal a day is very smart of you to do. You are giving your body time to digest the food for the day without cramming other food in. Your body is at "peace" with the way that you eat.
Dang this video was in my recommended, and right off the bat I gotta say I could listen to you talk about the dark side of the fast food industry for hours!!! lol you have a very soothing voice
Very interesting commentary. Highlighting the ingredients which have a detrimental effect on our bodies, and also mentioning the terrible conditions these poor animals are kept in, helps to illustrate that these food are not good for us healthwise, or our wallets.
I make my own wash a russet with a clear soap. Make sure it's clean real good. Then cut into fries by hand. Fry in organic tallow and sprinkle pink salt delicious

I'm glad this video was made. This is actually happened. My roommate, did the Carnivore diet and lost some weight. The last of the Carnivore diet, he said this, verbatim: "I'm so glad this diet is over with. Now I can get back to normal food.". Here's his normal food: bagged & boxed cereal, PB&J(name brand) on white break, Fast Food, and soda to drink. Just yesterday, it was McDonald's for lunch and then he ran out to get another fast food establishment for dinner. And he wonders why he has hypothyroidism. The worst of all, it was just over a year ago that he lost his father to a widow maker level heart attack. I'll wrap this comment with my signature phrase: "He's working hard on his Santa Claus body!".

@@girlygirl1890
The reason I did not eat it was because the franchise owner was a Coach and he would come in and talk sports with us. His advice to us was not to eat any of it unless we wanted to be obese or get "sugar" (diabetes)
back then, they called it sugar.
Most of the customer base was indeed obese. Recently I went back to visit that town and it's an absolute shock to see . Fast food Restaurants are everywhere and the town is known for Heart attacks and Diabetes. I don't have any of those issues and I don't take any pharmaceuticals at all.
I worked at Carl's Jr for two weeks as a teenager b4 I got a job at Ross and I promised myself I will never eat there again; over 20 years later I still have not. Yuck, is all I can say.

I worked at both Wendy's and McDonald's as well as other restaurants but I assure you that corners will be cut at all of these joints. Company policy may say to change fryer oil out daily but I have personally seen it used for well over a week and the only reason we changed it when we did is the oil was so dirty that it was making breaded products look black and dark...we never got any complaints over it

I was in the Fast Food Industry for 30 years. 23 as a Franchisee. All of your points are exactly what I experienced and what was taught to us on how to increase profitability. When the Franchise went from privately held to Publicly traded all of these points were magnified to increase the profits to a higher level for stockholders at the expense of franchisees and customers. After the IPO they increased the fat levels of menu items, included more sugary menu items, “improved” the product by adding hydrogenated oils, salts, and sugar that chemically created a more addictive food. In the end I was 100 lbs heavier and not only that I saw numerous regular customers die from their diet of poor food. With the menu changes they also lowered the menu price and increased the volume of by bundling menu items. This increased the profitability of the franchise while cutting profitability to the franchisee. These massive franchises market to your children because as they told me “Nothing sells product better than a child incessantly asking for a parent to get something”. I’ve never regretted leaving. Every single point you made is 100% accurate.
Exactly. Everything is done to increase profitability, and drive the cravings. Hence why Krispy Kreme has a "hot" light when they are frying the donuts.
The current restaurants today, receive almost ALL of their foods preprocessed for them. As a truck driver, I haul lots of groceries. Either for home use, or that of restaurants. I have discovered the larger the advertising budget, the more likely everything that store or restaurant sells, is prepared in a factory, and then trucked to their distribution center, then to their stores. With little to no real cooking taking place at the restaurant other than heating up the item, or taking it out of a bulk pack and putting it in a different package. Everything is pre measured or weighed. It's crazy.
Nothing wrong with corporate profits. You realize you can buy MCD stock, right?
Profits over people. Absolute shameful.

Normal inflammatory markers, including uric acid. Normal GGT levels.

I have been boycotting McDonald's and all fast foods for more than a decade so far. I eat just one big meal every day that i prepare myself. Most of the ingredients come from local organic, free range farmers or local markets supplied mainly by those same farmers. I am 67 and use no pharmaceutical products, prescribed or over the counter for any reason.
Bravo!
Definitely the way to go. Most folks are not designed to eat three meals a day, particularly if it involves at least one fast food meal. And we wonder about obesity. It's pretty obvious.
You eat once a day and are not sick? Eating a big meal only is not good for the metabolism either.
@@Dman3827 Guess it depends on the individual but the late Dr. Moseley pioneered the 5-2 diet. 5 days on two meals. 2 days on just juice and water. Too difficult for some but it is widely accepted to be one of, if not, the most successful weight loss diet for folks who need to shed the pounds. No snacks. Ever. But again - not for everyone particularly those with binge tendencies. Benefit? You can literally eat whatever.
@@Dman3827 I have been doing it every day for more than three years so far. Look up videos that explain intermittent fasting to learn more.
Get yourself a slow cooker and some recipes.
All you have to do is ... wait. The cooker does it all for you and when it's ready you can enjoy a healthy meal with zero effort.
If you wanna be extra lazy, prepare meals for a week, freeze them and all you have to do it microwave them when you're hungry.
Even healthier, take a frozen meal out of the freezer the night before and reheat it in a pan/oven. Microwaves change food at an energetic level, not good.

It's public knowledge and really only Oprah suffered when she spoke bad on beef in the early 90's and was pressed to backtrack by lobbies.

Let’s see how long before YT takes this excellent video down…
I am from europe, and i feel sorry for the people of USA. 😢 the food, the drugs, the weapons. Expensive healthcare. Cows need grass, nothing else. What a horror.
For most people, the rest of us who have learned to eat correctly find plenty of the healthiest foods and now what to avoid. You are r right however that the majority of Americans have been lied to for a long time but I think in some ways, the tide is turning. As for the weapons, I live in Las Vegas, nearly twenty years and have yet to see a gun crime and frankly in my 60 years have been fortunate enough to have not been exposed to it personally.
I agree with the food in North America. There is something definitely wrong with it. When I am in Europe. I literally eat everything and anything with zero regard in ‘counting calories’. And I lose weight. When I come home and eat even just modestly. I bloat and gain weight. My conclusion is not how much we eat. But what the food is made of. Fast food and anything North American wreaks havoc on me.
so true
it’s so appalling
But the salary standards are generally higher and the taxes are lower than the ones in Europe
You're absolutely right. I notice the difference in quality of food everytime I go to Europe. A lot of chemicals are banned in Europe, but are allowed in the u.s. Weight lose is guaranteed just by spending a few weeks in Europe
The McDonald's near me closed. Never thought I'd see that happen.

This breaks my heart seeing the animals like this they’re so innocent
Growing up getting fast food use to be a treat, it’s become a staple in so many households now. So many families think they need their kids involved in so many activities that sitting down at home to a home cooked meal isn’t a thing anymore. Then they complain about how busy they are. You’re choosing to be “busy “. I can go months without eating fast food. I’d rather go home and eat an apple with peanut butter then eat fast food. If I do eat fast food it’s a salad.
The peanuts usually have mold and fruits and vegetables are not needed to be healthy. Grass-fed beef is waaaay healthier
I eat fast food every day. It take 6 minutes to air fry my steak.
If that fast food salad you mentioned has iceberg lettuce(zero nutritional value) and GMO vegetables sprayed with all kinds of chemicals, it really isn't better for you than any of the other junk they sell.
I work at a McDonald's years ago and once I seen the oil was black and the food would come out dark in color
Yup I worked there for 4 year back in 2009-2013 and they BARELY changed the oil and when it was changed the fries were fresh and white. Not to mention the pickles and that come in a package 🤢
That is the managers fault. The oil in the fryers needs to be changed regularly. I worked at a McDonalds in the 1970’s and they were very vigilant about this and about maintaining the all equipment, and the cleanliness of the stores. Working there taught me good work habits that have followed me until this day.
Did you ever hear about the shake and ice cream machines being broken down years ago? You never did, although they are somewhat complicated to assemble and disassemble, they were taken apart, cleaned religiously after closing at night, now, not so much. I don’t know if it is out of laziness or ignorance that those machines are out of service so much nowadays.
@@fratzogmopars There is a video out there about the Taylor company that maintains the ice cream and milkshake machines for McDonald's. You should find it (I can't remember the name of it off the top of my head) but it explains why they are always broken.
It takes some discipline, but after weaning yourself off of food like this, you will find it highly unappealing. The first move I made was to stop drinking Coke, then I worked on the starchy carbs, and now I'm trying to eliminate seed oils. The biggest temptation are the fries (yummmm) but I know that if I keep working at it, I'll be able to eliminate those, too. It truly is a lifelong process.
I recently watched a video on the topic of fasting. Fasting can cure addictive cravings. This lady said she was addicted to diet coke and after the fast, she never drank one again and even threw her 24 pack away! Fast and research into how harmful that stuff your craving really is!
If you really enjoy fries and want to wean off of starchy foods, make your own fries and cook them in beef tallow to get away from seed oils. If you cant get tallow. use avacado oil which is still better than all those other oils.
@@pelawler15 I slice my potatoes then toss them in olive oil/garlic salt/pepper n bake 'em. They're a favorite at my house.

I cant touch fast foods because I have recently diagnosed pancreatitis. In my mid 20s I became depressed that I couldn’t have unhealthy fried takeouts and fast food but seeing videos like this reminds me that I won’t miss much
Wonder if your pancreas will not heal, now you have stopped eating "the inflammation"
Best of luck
It’s fleeting along will a lot of other things. Things that feel good but don’t last long. Good news is Jesus does last forever🤍 I pray you are healed in Jesus name🫶🏽
@@Taylor-qn5ph there are milions of gods humans created, jesus including, dont be trapped inside one cartoon ❤🎉 . They rule you via your faith!
I stopped eating this stuff about 10yrs ago,I can’t even stand the smell of them anymore 🤮
Animals have souls...Animals go to heaven...Animals are extremely kind and loving...they deserve the very best. 🎉🎉🎉
This doctor has good energies. It shows he is very kind and honest person and true man. I wrote here good comment because i feeling who is who and this man energies inside are in good level,it shows morale is nice and who has good energies,less sick. Many sickness first start not in matery level but in energies level. Every sickness has low energetic level. Who living on higher energies,isnt space for sickness😊❤
I have not eaten in any restaurant or fast food place since New Year’s Eve. I don’t miss it, mainly because the food has become so BAD in the past few years.
I started eating grass fed beef with arugula or cabbage every day felt so much better my gut and bowel movement improved 100 % I ate at a restaurant last week and it tore my gut up the food now days is poison
Besides it does not taste good. it is way to expensive.
True. I can cook anything way more delicious than any restaurant in my town. Love my cooking. Only eat out on work emergencies or if out socializing with family or friends.
Only thing edible are the burgers. Even then, go with biggest ones. But, I prefer spending a bit more for a steakburger. Or getting one at a local diner that makes their own bread.
How can I convince you that I don't know what's fast food?? And I don't eat everything just egg milk potato that's it
I was addicted to fast food eating for many years up until over 2 years ago. I can happily say I've been eating your version of healthy keto since then, and I feel so much better now. It was difficult at first, just like most things in life, but I had no choice to, because my health was going downhill during that time of unhealthy eating. Dr. Berg, I will say by listening and learning from you while not knowing what I didn't know at the time, you have literally saved me from so many serious health problems that most likely would've kept me sickly. Thank you for all you do!!!!!
Wow Dr.Berg, nice to see you touching upon the dark side of things which COULD cost you and arm and a leg. Kudos for your courage. I mean at least you talked about the innocent dark side. The real dark side is far more sinister.
Having spent a number of years working in the industry i can honestly say i wont eat out anymore. If i didnt make it i wouldn't eat it. Another thing i noticed is how they rip off the consumer is to charge extra for toppings, but when the customer asks to remove certain toppings they still charge the full price rather than deduct the cost of the toppings.
I've stopped eating fast-food and I'm cooking all food myself. I go to the gym 3-4 days a week and my depression is more or less gone. 👍
I'm working towards a 10 day fast, tomorrow noon I'll have 72hrs fast. I'd like to properly hydrate as well as mineralize my body. Again, thank you for your feed back.
Well done.
How the fast go?
I was able to overlook it when it used to be cheap which is why I even didn’t care about the quality either. It’s too expensive now
Yup! Stopped by a place last month for the first time in a LOOONG time, and a friggin' small combo was almost $13, for something that used to cost $7-$8! I can make several meals at home for that price.
Crazy how people still line up to this stuff. Blows my mind and now that cost is up for garbage... its just seriously mind blowing.
When I was born I had wolf Parkinson white syndrome and I was born a month early my mom had to take a bunch of medicine to get it to me before i was born and was in the hospital for a long time, we stayed in the Ronald McDonald house and they paid for all our medical bills that there’s no way my parents would have been able to pay for
Mad respect for you Dr Eric Berg. Thanks for speaking the truth. A lot of lives will be helped and awareness of the planet increased. I feel the awakening.
Absolute spot on video, Dr Berg! Finding your channel and quitting crappy foods was the best thing. Thank you 👍🏻❤
Happy that you found it useful!
The dark side ? I always assumed it was all dark.
Fast food is not even cheap anymore, you would have to be a fool to buy it today
I used to eat at MCD, but I must eat a heart healthy diet now. MCD is cheaper than buying food at the grocery store, but MCD is not healthy. MCD tastes pretty good though.
....lazy people mostly eat there , and it's convenient for those who work near by. Me ? I have ALWAYS made my own lunch 😊 healthier AND saves me HUNDREDS all year. Plus I find the time to relax my Brain while everyone else is in the Traffic 👍🏻😂👍🏻. Wake up people 😊✌🏻
@@123lowp 🤮🤮🤮 maybe if your high on marijuana 😂😂😂 ✌🏻
EATING WHOLESOME DELICIOUS FOOD DOESN’T HAVE TO BE EXPENSIVE
There’s a lot of fools in the drivethru every day lol.
I realized how much they were charging for drinks and when I started ordering just solid food they legit got mad because I was cutting into their losses

Dr. Berg - I love how you always find a way to reference and link your previous videos to keep pointing people in the right direction for information about their health. Thank you for all that you do.
Most welcome. I'm happy to share videos that can help you all.
@Anonobody YES! And he's so "smooth" with it too. (lol) Love that.
One more great video again.
Now I have lots of reasons to ignore fast food..
Thank you again, Dr Berg! I work hard everyday to practice healthy keto. Not easy with all the junk food temptation.
Almost two years ago, in large part thanks to you Dr. Berg, I quit eating sugar, cut carbs, quit fast food, processed food and went on a Mediterranean diet.
I went from being borderline pre-diabetic, having high blood pressure, joint pain, low energy and being generally miserable, to losing the extra pounds and reversing all the rest.
I came to the realization that not only is fast food not cheap, but it's low quality and has virtually no food value.
The experience forever changed the way I look at food and I will never go back. I'm 61 years young, in fairly good shape, full of energy and I feel blessed that
I made a course correction before I shortened my life.
I used to consume a thousand fast food meals per year, but had to cut way back due to my blood pressure being dangerous high.
That's three meals a day
I’m surprised u didn’t end up with more than just that, most ppl would have ended up with obesity and diabetes or heart disease
@@curiositycloset2359 Some people do take their three meals a day in fast food restaurants. For real.
@@weylandyutani9622what about cancer?
I ate fast food 3x a day for decades. I had no ill effects or was over weight but did change my diet to keto and grass fed beef and organic vegetables. Where I noticed a difference was the massive amount of money I stopped spending on junk food, seed oils, bread, sugar and processed foods. I've been keto, organic and grass fed for 2 years now. Honestly I feel and look the same from when I ate crap but I know I'm doing better for my body and saving money even after buying the better quality foods that I now prepare at home.
I would make a small suggestion. Ray Kroc, who bought out the McDonald brothers, revolutionized mass-produced food. During his time at the helm, “employees” became “human resources.” People who worked there were fungible and replaceable. The pay scale for these people stayed at the very bottom, the lowest of the low, so Kroc might be considered a material contributing factor to the elimination of the middle class. So, from one perspective, there is no bright side to McDonald’s and fast food; it’s all the dark side.
Buy the stock. Be smart.
@@123lowp
buy stock so you can profit from poisoning people - so are you sociopathic or psychopathic?
Haven’t eaten fast food in almost a year? Or close to it. The last time I was caught in town and needed to just get the kids something. I went to Wendy’s. Got 3 grilled chicken sandwiches, 3 bottles of water. Was like $16 !!!! Fries and drinks are expensive! and complete trash anyway.
Low priced but comes with a high price at the same time. Well said! I see how easily people can become addicted to fast food. That is why you literally have to cook at home and make that the norm instead of quickly picking something up.
From my mid-20's I had horrible seasonal allergies, each Spring allergies turned into sinus then bronchitis every April and Sept. In 2012 I cut out all BK, Wendy's and McD's along with some other things I changed and all allergies went away, but I thought it was the other things that were the fix. Over the next few years it crept back into my diet and in 2017 I had a case of bronchitis I couldn't shake, vacation to Jamaica, got Zika, sick, etc, stopped fast food again after that and same results. In the past 7+ years I got COVID in Aug 2022, in Feb 24 I got a viral sinus infection on a cruise and those are the only times I've so much as had a runny nose since 2017.
Thank you Dr Berg for educating about how the animals are "kept" before slaughtered. It's important people really become aware of what kind of lives their food live, before ending up on their plate. Im in agreement with everything you've said about the food fed, the pharmaceuticals given, the additives added....thank you so much for putting it all so succinctly. I follow a vegan lifestyle, not plant based. I eat whole real food, organic, nuts seeds leafy greens sprouts berries tofu (for complete daily protein) avo, mushrooms, beans, cucumber tomatoes, basically avoid high carb veg. Feel amazing. Super fit and strong for almost 45. Have been told look at least 10 years younger. Enjoy training and always creating a stronger bodymind. Appreciate my strong core 😊
I have not eaten fast food in 15 years. I only go to a restaurant maybe once a year or less. I eat homemade and organic and have been doing Keto since January
@terlyn that is so interesting. You are disciplined to be able to make your food everyday. Can you share with us what you may eat daily. Just to give an idea?
@@girlygirl1890 I make suis vide chicken breast at the beginning of the week. I mix a chop salad with spring greens, add other seasonal vegetables. I put homemade poppy seed dressing made with olive oil, add my chicken. I top with cranberries and pumpkin seeds. I eat a variation of the salad up to 5 times a week. On the other days I eat a hamburger patty made with grass fed ancestral beef. I top with sauerkraut and raw cheese and have slices of avocado. Once a week I eat wild caught salmon with a steamed vegetable. I only eat one meal a day. I have an organic arabica coffee with steamed heavy cream for my breakfast. Then I am not hungry until dinner time. That is what I eat when my work schedule is busy. It does not take a lot of planning and not a lot of expense. I don’t miss eating fast food at all. I do have a book of all my favorite recipes that I have updated to be all organic
@@terlyn1615 Good on you for eating that way. Your information is sooo helpful and detailed. I guess I can just cook the meat ahead of time for the week and freeze it too. That will make things much quicker for me during the week. Thank you for your details!💕💕
@@terlyn1615 Also, one meal a day is very smart of you to do. You are giving your body time to digest the food for the day without cramming other food in. Your body is at "peace" with the way that you eat.
This is one of your best videos. Short point fast 'food' is just not food.
I haven’t eaten fast food since maybe 2018, I’ve got enough problems without adding that junk to the list, GREAT PRESENTATION
I love this channel.
Dang this video was in my recommended, and right off the bat I gotta say I could listen to you talk about the dark side of the fast food industry for hours!!! lol you have a very soothing voice
Taking on fast food giants takes big kahonas .
Good on you Dr. Berg, be the champion of healthy eating we all need to save us
Do I recall correctly that Dr. B taught us that 80% of all illnesses are caused by poor diet?
I always feel bloated after eating burgers from mcd, heck even their fried chicken. I always end up regretting buying it.
We are blessed to have this man, and I could listen to him for hours. I never had a better teacher!
Very interesting commentary. Highlighting the ingredients which have a detrimental effect on our bodies, and also mentioning the terrible conditions these poor animals are kept in, helps to illustrate that these food are not good for us healthwise, or our wallets.
There are 19 ingredients in a mcdonald's french fry and then its fried in seed oils !
I make my own wash a russet with a clear soap. Make sure it's clean real good. Then cut into fries by hand. Fry in organic tallow and sprinkle pink salt delicious
Since I relocated to America 🇺🇸 all I can see on television is greasy food advertisements and medications 💊. This is appalling in my British accent saying "appalling ". I am sooo glad I don't eat think soft killing me softly food
You can’t pay me to eat meat from fast food. 🤮🤢 These poor animals. People need to stop the consumption to stop the demand.
It’s human trafficking meat it’s not from animals ….lol
Fried in plastic oil, with plastic cheese, and Soylent Green beef
I am not commenting often, but this Dr. Turned my life around I have followed his advices and I got my life back.
Thank you Dr.
Stopped eating fast food 18 months ago... one of best decisions ever!!
I'm glad this video was made. This is actually happened. My roommate, did the Carnivore diet and lost some weight. The last of the Carnivore diet, he said this, verbatim: "I'm so glad this diet is over with. Now I can get back to normal food.". Here's his normal food: bagged & boxed cereal, PB&J(name brand) on white break, Fast Food, and soda to drink. Just yesterday, it was McDonald's for lunch and then he ran out to get another fast food establishment for dinner. And he wonders why he has hypothyroidism. The worst of all, it was just over a year ago that he lost his father to a widow maker level heart attack. I'll wrap this comment with my signature phrase: "He's working hard on his Santa Claus body!".
His choice. Why don't u try encouraging him, & take him a nice fresh salad.
@pearlsaphier3458 I think you should reread his comment, the "verbatim" part. It is now 2024, I made my life style change early in 2021. I've been dropping tons of hints and comments. See for yourself, his comment again. My words fall on def ears. As you said, "His choice". He'll have only himself to answer to when things really turn for the worse.
