- Signs of Low Protein?? Rather than getting too much protein, it's likely you are not getting enough. This video will explain 10 signs of protein deficiency and also give you bonus content about the best sources of protein, and how much protein I recommend you eat each day.
Some of the 10 signs I talk about in this video you would never link to protein deficiency, but there is a strong link. Watch, learn and Share so we can all enjoy optimal protein intake and optimal health. The usual tests your doctor would order to check for protein deficiency (total protein, albumin, globulin) are in reality not very good at all for detecting protein deficiency...

Get plenty of protein with this diet: bit.ly/Carnivore101
Elle H I’m in a very similar situation. Trying to eat about 100g a day but I always would like to eat more of the protein at most of m meals. But as a ‘recovering’ t2 diabetic I just fear the insulin response of the protein. I’m really confused about the ideal macros...
Is this the same for diabetics (type1)? I'm concerned about kidney health. Should I be concerned?
@46 58 Thank you, I'll have to go watch it.
@@MsTony1402 T2 diabetic doing keto for over 6 years. High BG levels damage kidneys, not protein. Now if you have damaged kidneys already, then it's something you need to monitor, but if they are healthy there is no problem.
T2 for 6 years, I eat as much meat as I can comfortably eat. A1Cs bouncing around 5.0 for that entire time.
Oh my brother was on dialysis. They had him limit meat, cheese and egg consumption not for protein but because they can be high in phosphorous. He actually had this special protein gel stuff he had to take multiple times a day in order to keep his protein levels up.
10 Signs:
1. Muscle loss / Inability to gain muscle.
2. Decreased bone strength.
3. Slow wound healing.
4. Weird hunger / cravings.
5. Brittle hair/nails, dry skin, hair loss.
6. Edema / swelling in ankles and feet.
7. Negative mood.
8. Frequent infections.
9. Stunted growth in children.
10. Insomnia.
Thank you.
Sounds like thyroid issues.
How to distinguish between?
Thanks!!
11. Looking like a crackhead
@@romanticdoctor6748 When I was vegan and had vegan friends, I think that was a common feature, LOL!
Exhaustion is another symptom -- the kind that isn’t relieved no matter how much sleep you get.
Great I have that TOO. 😭
Boy do I have exhaustion
I believe this 100% .... I've been feeling this way for over the last year after training for and running an ultra marathon.. Started to track where my calories were coming from and drastically increased my protein.. only been a few weeks but I have not had a day of complete exhaustion during this time.
Yea but that can also be thyroid issues
I was feeling that too until I ate keto. I used to just drag through the day and especially afternoons and more often than not taking a nap and then still being tired. Now I breeze through my days and only take a nap if I don't get enough sleep the night before. Very nice change 😊
Last week my doctor called and said my hgba1c was 6, so I am pre-diabetic. After a day of research and one week of eating
I was a full blown type 2 and Keto/carnivore got my a1c to low normal in 6 months...lost 30lbs as well! Many thanks to Dr. Berry
My dr told me I was pre diabetic too was only over weight 20 lbs
Now on keto can’t wait to get my check up done when I’m farther down the road on keto ( only 6 weeks in )
Losing weight & mood improved
How much protein can I eat on a carnivore diet and not spike insulin??????????
@@randallmiser2976 it will not spike your Insulin in a bad way, so don't worry about it.
My A1C was 6 and now 4.8😃
I lost 85 pounds living keto over the last year or so but now I’m eating really big high protein meals plus weight training 3-4 days a week. I noticed that my waistline stayed small but my weight is creeping up just a bit because I’m gaining muscle mass. I’m 53 and growing. Thanks again, Doc, for all the great advice you’ve given me.
Hi, may I ask you please, how much protein you eat per meal, thank you.
I have had Edema for almost two years with no explanation. My doctor said to just drink a lot of water and take water pills. Didn’t work. I also have almost every symptom you listed. I have been eating high protein, and moderate fat and carbs for two days and my edema is already improving.
Omg, we have the same doctor.. lol.. my doctor told me that my swollen feet & ankles were caused because I drink to much water.. He said for me not to drink water anymore.. instead to just suck on a cough drop if I get thirsty..
@@skyeblue5669 My mother's doctor told her the sane thing.
I'm madly in love with Dr. Berry. Been on Keto a little over a week. For the last year, I've had terrible skin issues, a huge breakout all over plus wounds that won't heal for over a year. I noticed this morning that those wounds are quickly disappearing. Oh my gosh!!! I'm so excited.
Crush! Lol
Being celiac and malnourished or undiagnosed anemia can cause skin issues.
When I first started low carb /keto I was scared off protein because of gluconeogenesis. So I limited myself to under 50 grams a day. It was fine for a few months and then I started to hurt. I mean really really hurt. The muscles in my thighs and hips were like steel cables and it was an agony. I couldn't sit because it hurt. Driving to work was a nightmare and once I got there I hobbled in because I could not straighten my hips. I also went through bouts of horrible horrible hunger and nothing I did would make it go away.
And then one day I caved. My husband and I went to a steak house for dinner one night and I ate an entire 12oz ribeye and small salad. After we got home I ate the left over steak my husband had brought home.
The next day the state of my muscles wasn't so bad and my hunger was much less than it had been for a while.
Now it took a few more times of this happening before I put 2 and 2 together. And I went through it again when I started doing OMAD without good planning and went significantly low on protein (30g a day approx) for about a month. All the pain started coming back again.
After learning my lesson, I now eat protein until I am satisfied. No tight muscles, no pain.
Wow! Thanks for posting... I'm having the same problem and no answers from Dr.'s! I had a gastric sleeve 10 yrs ago and even though I struggle to get enough protein, My thighs and calves were killing me! I'll up my protein and see if it clears up!!!
wicked, hope more ppl read this
I have a sneaking suspicion that years of protein deficiency is behind the muscle pain i've been experiencing. The quads, thighs and calves are tight AF and i sometimes have such systemic muscle pain that i don't want anyone to touch me. Just misery. So, im back to front loading my day with protein and just to be sure i have a source of 30g protein on me if im away from home, i carry 2 scoops of a pea protein powder that i can dump into a small bottle of water, shake and im done and dusted.
This! THanks for sharing. Ppl need to read this especially those scared of glycogenesis!
a peanut butter sandwich now and then wont kill you either
My mother has a lot of water retention in her legs and can't tolerate a lot of meats after a botched gastric bypass. She started keto a little over two weeks ago, and has already lost 3 inches off each of her calves!
Tegan Marie , it’s the carbs!
@@nl294 exactly!
That’s awesome I’m happy for her! I wish my mom would and she is a type 2 diabetic.
@@kristinbailey6280 my mom was just diagnosed officially with T2, we're working on reversing it with keto
Tegan Marie My mom just makes excuses. It’s really sad. I even make her keto treats and sad it’s really easy to follow this way of eating. Even if it takes her a couple years to lose weight. I’m still working at it.
I eat like 100+ grams of protein a day and stay low carb (with bouts of ketosis) and I feel great. My anxiety and depression have been consistently absent and I feel good physically. High fat and high protein are great to switch between.
Source of your protein intake, Please!
Yogesh Biradar did you figure out protein sources?
@@missoobydo nah, she didn't respond.
Yogesh Biradar if you are doing Carnivore that’s your protein right there... meat=protein
@@missoobydo I'm vegetarian, that's why I was asking, thanks for responding.
Thank you for your honesty, Dr Berry. There’s too many influencers out there trying to sell supplements and collagens instead of addressing the deficiencies in people’s diets.
Dr. Ken, I rely on your information more than any other channel! I loved the book, ‘Lies My Doctor Told Me.’ You have a good heart and provide so much good information. My own PCP asked me “What is vitamin K2? Never heard of it.” I need a new doctor. Thanks for all you do.
if your dr doesn't know about vitamins and how they affect the body, yes you need a new Dr!
You just described my 79-year-old mother! I’m sharing this video with my sister. Thank you.
Very interesting. Nutrition class in college told me high protein diets would make me constipated and most of the amino group would be wasted as my body used what was left for energy. Found out they were definitely wrong thanks to you, Eric Berg, and Thomas De Lauren. 👍👍
for me they are right--that energy is in the form of glucose raises my blood glucose
@@johnsonpaul1914 I found my blood sugar levels very stable during keto. My liver managed the gluconeogenesis very well. I used protein shakes as supplement after workout at that time. So there were definitely times when my system had enough protein. Didn't negatively influence my blood sugar.
Not sure what regulates the amount of your gluconeogenesis, maybe you had other imbalances? I think it also has a lot to do with workout and meal timing. If your body needs the protein there isn't so much for your liver to change into glucose. If your body doesn't need the protein it probably uses it mainly for fuel.
Hey Ken, I love the way you get your word across, it’s easy to understand and makes good sense with back up. I’ve been on Keto for over 3 years now and I narrowed it down to 2 people I go to for all my Keto Questions and that would be you and Thomas but he gets a to descriptive at times but has good back up Documentation if I wanna go down that road for work outs 💪🏼
Thoroughly enjoy your straight to the point videos, thank you for all you do
Highly informative as always. The research supporting it is spot on.
I always look forward to your videos, Dr. Berry
Dr. Berry, thank you for your Sage Medical Advice backed by documentation.
37 years old. Just had levels checked and was shocked to see my protein was low. After watching this I see why. Not enough meat, and to many protein shakes. Last 2 meals I've had 7 yard eggs. Thanks Doc.
thank you for all your videos full of wisdom Doc! I was wondering why my wounds heal so slowly! also adding dry skin, hair loss, mood swings!......and I am keto since 2016 and now trying to be carnivore.. still working on it! amazing thank you! thank you!
Thanks for all the research references. I actually read some (not all, but more than 60%) of them. I would love to see a video or 2 on how you select these references. I learned long ago to identify the sponsor of the research in order to identify and understand the bias. I'm interested in your thoughts and approach on this.
Keep up the great work that you are doing Doctor,your continuing advice has improved my health immeasurably thank you,for taking the time to educate us.
Thank you Dr. Ken Berry - Excellent piece of information, well presented and easy to understand.
Thank you for the great info. From Canada 🇨🇦
I used to have a problem with what I thought was binge eating. I had a evaluation by a nutritionist. I discovered my binges were mass protein eating. I would go weak sometimes months with just eating bread and diet soda. Every so often I would eat an entire roast or a half a dozen yogurts at one time. Six eggs on one plate ....
Um, six eggs at once isn't binge eating. An egg is about 80 calories, so six eggs = 480 calories. That's a meal, it isn't binge eating.
@@edennis8578 A meal isn't defined by calories. Neither is a binge.
your body needed the amino acids, omegas , and protein. I crave proteins in the winter. I haven't had time to properly cook and I crave hamburgers fried chicken ,etc and have felt tired. eat meat in the winter, it digests more properly, you body is trying to tell you what it needs ! listen to it !!
Bread and diet soda is basically carbs/sugar and nutritionally deficient/restrictive. Severe blood sugar deregulation....what goes up must come down law of gravity applies. Adequate Protein keeps blood sugar stable which keeps mood, energy, muscle strength and cognitive function stable.
As an elderly female, I noticed vertical ridges in my nails. This lead me to protein deficiency and to your page. I appreciate all your info and will start the carnivore diet ASAP!
Great timing with this video!! I’ve been overly hungry this week and working out more. I need more protein.
Hi. I've just started doing keto and thanks to you I've lost 4kg so far this week. I never realised how easy it was! Thank you so much! I'm so pleased I came across your videos!
I have no idea how to get started. It doesn't seem easy to me at all. Is there an easy way to get started? Do you have a resource that's easy to follow? Or can you sum it up in a nutshell. Thank you kindly!
@@galadethlaernis6266 HI. This comment of mine was from 3 years ago. I found Keto way too complicated. I'm now a carnivore. All I eat is steak fried in butter. I've lost so much weight and cured all my illnesses. Please follow Homestedhow, Dr Ken Berry and Dr Shawn Baker to find out about the proper human diet. It's so easy to stick to and you don't get cravings. It's marvelous. Good luck.
Thank you Dr. Berry, you may have just unlocked for me my insomnia problem. God Bless you. I am 63 and I will immediately change my diet.
Liked, saved and shared. Between you, Dr. Boz, Dr. Baker, Jason Fung and Mindy Pelz my life has changed. Thank you for going against the flow to help us learn and heal.
I havnt heard of Dr Baker. Love the others in your list
@@sandybrown3879 Dr Shawn Baker. Carnivore guru! Beast of a man! I think his channel is meatrx
Thanks Dr. Berry, your videos make my (and my family's) life so much better.
I am learning so much from you Dr. Berry. Thank you.
I've been worried that I haven't been having enough protein lately. Now I know what to look for! 😊
I have osteoporosis and have done so much research but never knew that protein was important in this regard! Thanks for the information.
Did it worked? :)
I just started OMAD keto, mostly carnivore.
First 3 days... I just realized I was eating high calories 2,200 and high protein 110 grams and high fat. I had a 230gram steak, 2 eggs, 210 grams bacon, 10 olives, 2 tbsp peanut butter, fat/bone broth in one meal.
3rd day... I had half the usual hair loss when I washed my hair!!!
Starting tomorrow, I'll keep my protein high and drop the fat calories so I can heal and lose weight.
My ideal lean weight is 104 lbs. I'm short.
Thank you so much Dr. Berry. God bless you! 🙏🏼
I love that such a widely followed doctor is so clued in on diet and especially carnivore! Thanks for a great, informative video doc!
Greetings from Canada
🇨🇦
Thank you, Dr. B, and *God bless.*
Passed along to my parents as well.
I'm not sure how I came across this video so late but I'm so glad I did. You just talked about all the problems I'm having. I've been miserable for almost 2 years with horrible pain in my feet and ankles. I can barely walk most of the time!!! Thank you for this wonderful video!!!
Great advice from a very very smart Dr. Love you sir!! I'm carnivore now for 20 months & 70 lbs lighter!!👍💪
Thanks dr. Berry. Ive been listening to people tell me to eat less and less protein and yet i see the symptoms you mentioned. Thanks for setting me straight. God bless you.
Shared this your info is great i have been Keto 2 1/2 years. Down 75 lbs and A1C 5.6 . Never diabetic. Never had heart problems. With you Dr. BERRY as my go to for information I can only get better health THANK YOU
Hallelujah! It'sprobably been a year since I last checked my BP. I didn't like the numbers i saw (170's/90's or 100's.) I've been mostly carnivore with a smattering of near-zero carb veggies for about 6 months now. I finally decided to see what kind of impact this has made. Aside from losing 30 lbs since March, my BP today was 124/74! I am ecstatic! Thank you for giving the encouragement to follow this.
Thank you, Dr. Berry. My own experience is that I need more protein now that I'm over 60, just to maintain my current muscle mass and keep my body fat percentage at a good level.
This was exactly what I needed to help convince my parents to get more protein. I've been telling them that for a while now, but you've done the research and given me the chance to share this information. You're awesome, thanks!
Thank you brother for all your wonderful blessing of health information
Thank you, Dr. Berry...very informative!
Oh no, I have the dry hair, and recently my hair has been falling out really bad.Always had bad nails, swollen feet, sometimes moody. Anything else? Probably!
And alot of people, but especially women, will say its thyroid problems. Well, perhaps its something else..
@@SandyBatten1962 oh yes, thats one thing I forgot, I take a pill for my thyroid. Good grief!!!😆
**hugs** i feel you. :-(
I was vegan for almost 20 years and everything was ok (because I seem to have a large supply of all the vitamins in my body). But now I have started to get all the serious symptoms of vitamin B12 and D deficiency and because of that I have to stop veganism, so that the symptoms do not turn into chronic diseases. Veganism makes you also age in dog years due to glycation and lack of fat soluble vitamins. They are all eating a high carb diet, which is synonymous with a high sugar diet.
This is real guys, I suffered with hunger, mood, skin issues for a couple years, thinking it was gut related and all tests came back normal, didn't realise it was insufficient protein, resolved in 1-2 weeks, added in protein shakes and upped the meat just to be safe and boom, I'm fine now, I dont go as high as I did in them two weeks but I still stay on top of my protein 😀 xx
Thank you for this video. I have been slowly loosing hair since age 18 Now pattern baldness does run in my family. The big thing about this video is my wife is showing almost all of these symptoms except for the osteoporosis diagnosis. The has been having the hair loss for no reason, the brittle nails, hair, and skin. She has also been having really bad swelling of the feet and ankles for a while now. I have also started having some edema myself. I am a type 2 diabetic so that and the slower wound healing could be part of that.
By watching your videos, we have been learning a lot and have started Carnivore as of yesterday to start the body and hormone reset. We have already been on Keto for 2 months so the transition to Carnivore should not be as has as someone that is eating the SAD will have. Going by the protein amounts per body weight you gave, My wife and I have only been getting slightly less than half of the protein we need per day.
Thank you for all of your work Dr. Berry! Looking forward to better health coming up soon!
Question for you. For the protein per pound. Is that just 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight or 1 gram per pound of lean body weight?
Awesome as always 😍 you have saved my life with all your videos. Love you Doc 😘
Thank you so much for all your content, you have helped me more than you will ever know! Much love from Australia 🇦🇺
No protein powder? What about before a hard gym workout?
Thanks.
I'm a 64-year-old woman. Just ate a steak smothered in buffalo Camembert. Life is good. 🥰
Dr Berry, after 10 yrs on blood pressure meds, while being quite active, my BP didn't move and my weight slowly crept up. Last year, a progressive GP who I had visited previously was available for a consult after my previous GP had moved on. As he'd seen me previously, he could see the (not good) changes. He asked if I was willing to make some changes, and he was pretty sure we could drop the BP (and therefore the meds), drop the weight and get my pre-diabetic markers down and get me healthier in general.
Fast forward six months and through adherence to the keto diet and returning to some better lifestyle practices, I dropped 17kg, dropped my BP and meds and no longer need my CPAP machine.
Fast forward a further 12 months and I've kept the weight off, am fitter and stronger than I've ever been and continue to work at it.
Your videos, along others and the advice from my GP are a constant source of interesting information and tips. Thanks for your videos and expertise 👍
Thank you for your wisdom!
When I first tried keto about 3 years ago, I noticed that small cuts and scrapes healed super fast. When I went vegan, my wound healing slowed to a crawl. Also had hair loss, and I also have much less hairs on my legs (nice for shaving, but not a good sign nutritionally). I just started eating meat and animal products (full fat) again 3 days ago and cutting out all starches. I know I will see the difference in the next few weeks
LOL what
I just paused Neisha's Home Decor Haul to watch your video. Sorry Neisha. I'll go back to it, I promise. I am very athletic and have always wondered how much protein I needed. I need to eat more protein. Great information, Thank you!
She does a home decor haul? Where do we find that
@@SandyBatten1962 She has a youtube channel. Neisha Loves It
Thank you for always delivering the TRUE info we need.
So interesting, thanks again Dr. Berry!
Thank you for this video, Dr. Berry. My sons are both interested in started Carnivore with me (I’m restarting TODAY). Yes, everything you said is 100% true. When I underwent a DMX in 11/2017, the Wound Care Clinic Director was fascinated, thrilled and gobsmacked at the cellular regeneration and wound granulation. He even asked to take photos to show how fast my wounds were healing. I never developed lymphedema afterward. I owe so much to both Keto and Carnivore. Thank you!
When I was 16 worked out 5 days a week. I had incredible gains with only 75 grams of protein per day.
Ken you are a great Doctor that has improved my metiblockic health .
Always being helpful as usual
Just a quick question about vegetables. Is cauliflower OK?
Love from the UK by the way 🇬🇧
yes
Thank you for the videos. I tell everyone I know that the only Person who tells it like it is and knows exactly what he’s talking about is You.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with a sprinkle of wisdom.
I am glad to be a new subscriber,.
Thanks for your videos, Dr. Berry!
I let my protein get too low on keto before I knew how important protein was. I lost almost ALL my hair. It all came back when I figured out I need to eat protein, but I was freaked out and did several vids on it. I preach the importance of protein now!
Thank you for this explanation.
virgin coconut oil also help your hair to be naturally strong and thick
Yes. I had finally gotten it to stop and then I left keto. Now IF but not low carb and I’m noticing it starting to fall out again. Definitely need to get back to lower carb higher protein with my IF
How much protein do you consume now for what weight.? I am massively losing my hair at 80g for 92 kg.
@@PinkieJoJo I've seen a lot of women, including myself lose massive amounts of hair with fasting. I only fast 14-16 (naturally while sleeping) and increased my fat, and my hair stopped falling out.
What about protein from nuts such as walnuts and macadamias?
Dr. Berry - yet another excellent video! Some great information here.
Thank you for this video.
HI Doctor - I have been doing Keto and I/f for more than 3 years - Lost a whole lot of weight - but at the same time I lost my whole muscle mass ...the big challenge is to stay in Keto but keep muscle mass ....A paradox to me ? This is why I turn progressively to the Ketovore diet instead.
If you are losing muscle mass on keto, then maybe you're eating too much fat and not enough protein. Keto is mainly low-carb with an emphasis on eating animal protein and low-carb vegetables, so you shouldn't be losing muscle mass.
eat paleo , fruits nuts , seeds , beans rice potatoes and lots o meat and full fats like coconut oil, lard and olive oil you will feel better
Like your videos,, been low carb mostly, some days keto and some days just carnivore. Lost all the weight I needed, would like maybe 10 more pounds ( just a vanity overlap from younger days) but am comfortable where I am. 71 years young. Been doing this for over 3 years. Still have issues with many of those you mentioned but still feel better than when I was 50. Thank you for all your info. I am taking all the vitamins and supplements that seem warranted but I know aging is inevitable.
Thank you for all the great information
I have EVERY SINGLE ONE of these signs n symptoms! And I think you have just saved my life! Especially With the 3+ edema in my ankles n feet, along with only getting 3 hrs of sleep daily. My diet changes immediately!! I cannot thank u enough! God bless you!
update?
Dear Dr Berry I love and respect you insanely much but the amount of protein you advise litterally scares me. Could you tell us on what you base your opinion (since there is no studies under the video where you could derive this amount of protein). Greetings from Germany ;)
Thank you!
Funny thing. When I started carnivore (now ketovore) my sleep became deep and sound.
As always, thanks Dr. Berry
So glad you mentioned not using shakes, bars etc as protein sources. Had a family member, who had a gastric sleeve and has been using protein shakes for several years, following the advice of the medical support staff after the procedure. Long story short, she had an issue with kidney stones! She had several procedures using lithotripsy to break up her huge and chronic issues with kidney stones, and reoccurring infections. Finally they (another set of medical staff) mentioned what I suspected, the protein shakes may be the culprit. I think the medical fixes to her metabolic issues and associated health problems caused a whole different set of problems. I am taking notes, in order to optimize my health by fixing my own metabolic problems and associated health issues, using my diet and activity. Dr Berry, I would appreciate your perspective on the use of surgery for weight loss. What has been your experience working with people who've had the surgery. I am resolute in learning what the 'proper human diet' is and figuring out a way to attain the weight best suited for my overall health.
Àudra, my aunt's friend died from gastric bypass surgery. It is not worth it to remove body parts and organs that you were born with, parts humans evolved to have. Every part of your body has a purpose. The appendix contains every single bacteria and germ you ever came into contact with. The appendix will also absorb water, fluids.
People can't digest food well and they can't absorb nutrients well. They often have to take supplements to replace real nutrition from food, and yet people want to destroy themselves to lose weight. After surgery, some people will gain all of the weight back. Not worth it.
In Florida, doctors told a friend that she needed to have her gall bladder removed. Her gall bladder was healthy. Now she suffers without her gall bladder and this doctor did it to many other people. He just wanted the money. She was so angry that there was no need to remove an important organ that allows her to digest food properly and absorb nutrients.
Even if gall bladder is full of stones, don't remove it. You will have more health problems later, like my aunt. They stones are coming from the liver. Dr. Hulda Clark has cheap simple way to remove stones from liver and the gall bladder. There is always a better, safer, natural way to cure a health problem. She also has program for kidney stones.
There is also a herb called Stone Breaker, and there are many other ways to heal , lose weight and so on.
Too funny! I just sat down with my big fat salad to watch this video. I do have two eggs and a cup of salmon in it though. Whew 😅 Thanks for another great video Dr Berry🌸
Wow I wld never thought of protein and bones. I have osteopenia. I am going for my 2 yr scan in September. I have been doing a Keto lifestyle for over a year. We shall see....
Please report your results. I have osteopenia as well...would love to see what your results are. :)
@@lisaperry63 will do. I go in September IF my state doesnt roll back to Phase 1.
@DHARMA my osteopenia has not gotten worse. My numbers have stayed the same. My Doctor said for me to keep doing what I am doing, it will take time and my Osteologist has placed me on a Calcium/D3 supplement.
I go back for another scan in 2 years.😊
@DHARMA nope would it be a good idea??
@DHARMA ya I have had that problem in the past. I would get really sore knots on the tops of my feet and they would disolve away. Like my body would go, "hey lets put this here for later and forget where I left it." Giggle. Thank you will try it.
Great vid for first day of challenge...listening...
This clip is amazing, so much valuable information that I'll have to come back and re-watch it. Thank you for all your work that we can access anywhere, anytime for free. Thank you Mr. Berry, you're a treasure! Love from UK.
One thing I have noticed about the elderly is that they eat for comfort but sometimes they go
I’ll try it. See what happens.ive done it the last few days- I have to say I feel a lot better. I tried Bergs suggestion to eat only vegetables and I felt like dodo. I became fatigued, couldn’t sleep, Constipated, cranky, etc. I quit and started with protein only and I feel much better. It takes an effort but my concentration is better, appears that my hair is not falling out as much, I’m sleeping, more energy, overall better mood. Also I started feeling as though I was catching a cold while eating the vegetables, started with the protein and my nose quit running and the fever seems to have gone away.
Thanks for all the great information!
Thx again for your hard work as always. I have just receive your book by mail today.
Yeah, let me know what you think
Through years of experimentation I have found that 1 gram per pound of bodyweight, for me, is about right. Nice to hear you agree.
Is that lean body weight?
Todd, is that 1 g of weighed food or the grams of protein IN the meat?
Also, I'm about 20# overweight, so do I use lean weight or current weight?? TIA
Mnelmy Fisher , I use lean body mass as the low end. I am relatively low body fat so the difference is not enormous. If I get 120-150 protein a day it feels pretty good, but any higher really becomes a chore to eat that much and I do not find any benefit.

Diana VP , Grams of protein in the meat. I would use goal weight for grams because 20 grams of protein one way or the other probably will not make a big difference and you can always adjust once you get an idea how it makes you feel.
After months of listening to dr berry im overloaded with how much he knows 😵
Thank you for this helpful information.
According to a recent low carb down under video - the whole world is not consuming enough protein as a large proportion are consuming more plant based protein which has limited protein components (lysine etc) and thus the excess components are burnt as fuel rather than providing the necessary amounts for muscle growth, body repair and daily use.
Do I count 1 gram per pound of I am very overweight? Or is it per pound of weight I want to achieve?
How do I compute grams of protein? 70 kilos x 2 = 140 grams (@ 4.5 to 5 oz) of protein.
But what % of beef, lamb, chicken, egg or cheese (roughly) does that equal?
Is there a reliable table of conversion for common, recommended foods?
Google "protein content of " Example steak has anywhere from 21-25% protein by weight. 100 grams of steak has roughly 25 grams protein.
Always have a source of fat when you eat protein; don't ever eat lean protein by itself
wow. this can so change my life. thx doc!!
Thank you for your info on proteins. I will let you know how I get on.
First again... :D
2g/kg BW? I thought that was the limit...
So, basically I am in a keto diet, if I follow what you say.. and I am going to do it, my macros would be:
FAT: 65%
Carbs: 5%
Protein: 30%
This looks good for you?
What is the big deal about being "first"????
@@gayled3059 If you are "first" three times in a row, you unlock an archievement.
I hear yes for bones. I hear yes for kidneys. Is this the right diet for non-alcohol related cirrhosis?
Yes, non alcohol-related cirrhosis is a lot of times caused by over consumption of refined carbohydrates and sugar
Absolutely
Definitely. I had moderately elevated Gamma-GT (= part of the liver blood work). Then I started eating like Dr. Berry says and within 4 weeks the problem was half fixed. My GP was amazed, and I expect the next test to be perfect. Will definitely continue to keep my carbs very low.
YES!😁
Thanks for the info!
Great info! Thank you, Doctor!
