Very good points! I believe that a healthy diet should mimic to some degree the diet we have been eating for 90% of human history (hunter-gatherer). Of course, it depends on where your ancestors lived.
I am on a carnivore from keto or sometimes keto carnivore. Sometimes I would eat cabbages but prefer kimchi. The meat I eat is all 100% grass fed, and finished. With keto, we still eat alot of junks like keto desserts or pastries etc. i feel much better with carnivore. No more green juices.
I and my mother got rid of digestive, bowel movement and inflammation issues on a zero carb diet coming from a strict Keto diet. We both lost a lot fluids too which was really surprising. We are not facing any nutrient deficiencies on this diet for 8 months now.
Plant food must have been supplemental, the calorie density just isn't there. How many thistle seeds or acorns would you need to eat to gain any meaningful energy from it, especially compared to the energy it took to gather them?
The energy to gather plants is much less than the energy to hunt, kill, skin and gut an animal, and probably cook it. And hunting is very undependable. Many hunts come up empty. That's why, among other reasons, virtually all primitive peoples are hunter-gatherers.
@@jeffreyjohnson7359 Ok, but a tribe that kills one buffalo/elk/mammoth gets hundreds of pounds of meat and fat, which is energy dense and rich in nutrients. You can supplement that by digging up some root vegetables or gathering some acorns, but those require preparation too and the return on investment is far less.
To everyone bringing up Eskimos, they did eat plants, though not a lot. They ate berries, herbs, grasses, stems, tubers, roots and seaweeds. There's never been a substantial human civilization that was entirely vegan or entirely carnivore.
Seasonal is the main word. They didnt have plants and fruit for a large period of the year unless they lived in the tropics. Also, the calories that would been spent looking for plants, wouldnt equal what they finally ate from low calorie plants, so they would starve relying on plants. Cavemen were mostly carnivore and plants were only for emergency food and couldnt be used to survive on for very long. Many died from trial and error when eating plants.
They were hunter/gatherers & likely did both simultaniously side by side along with a symbiotic relationship with wolves which helped with hunting & were simply fed the undesirable parts.. All advancements from this point were to increase efficiency but as we see today everything comes with a price
Most of what we know about far back history is based on very small findings and lots of theories. But we do know for sure somethings they were NOT eating. Processed seed oils Doritos , and cokes lol
@@jonchapman6821 Hah, I like you man. We have similar opinions I think. I'd say there is no need to eat greens, but.people call me crazy for saying such things, because the system recommend us to eat greens and fruit everyday 🤷♂️ For dinner, they say 1/2 of your meal should be greens. Anyway, do you recommend zero fiber, or is a little (5-10 gram) with fiber ok?
Have you watched the video? He literally addressed that. That in North Israeli region they ate animals and plants, but in other regions they ate other foods that were available on that territory and he gave examples generalizing what caveman ate. Around coastal areas they ate fish, seafood, less meat, in other areas they ate more animals and plants that were available or if they were available(plants are also seasonal), he didn’t say that all these foods people ate all around the world during paleo times. In different regions people ate differently, but more or less a combination of meats, seafood, plants.
@picasapictures6815 cattles obviously need a lot less dha/epa than humans because human brains use it more than cattles. Cattles can get it from less inefficient way when microbes convert ALA from plants to DHA/EPA.
The Inuit apparently, who were mainly carnivore (seals, whales, birds etc) got their Vit C from caribou liver, whale skin, kelp and seal brains. This was possible because they ate their food raw so the Vit C was not destroyed by cooking. Personally, I think I'll pass on the seal brains and take a tablet instead😅
Glad to hear you speak on this. It is so frustrating to get a clear answer on getting healthy, especially when everyone from Plant Based to Carnivore all use the same argument, "The caveman ate it". Well so what - Big deal! They likely ate whatever they had available, which doesn't mean it was their preferred choice or that they were even "healthy". Experts use Healthy comment too broadly on the caveman side then be specific with weight loss on modern man side. I just personally hate that that comparison totally. Most likely they were only so called "healthier" because they didn't have a sofa lifestyle and the opportunity to "Biggie size their order".
Thank you Dr Berg. I’m all for balance. Too much of any one thing is good for nothing. Our whole physical body is adapted for consuming nutrients from both plant and animal sources. This is what makes us omnivores.
Jon Chapman is the name calling really necessary? You’re getting angry and frustrated for no reason. How about this, you eat and drink whatever you want, and others will do the same. Stop trying to shove your lifestyle choices down other people’s throat. (Pun intended) The end!! 🙄🙄
I think the plants consumed were more for medicinal purposes, rather than just as food. Whereas, animal products were seen as food, ie. nutrition and energy.
1:28 vitamin c from plants? Their is vitamin c in meat and enough of it as long as you dont eat to much glucose. The glucose and vitamin c molecule are very similar and your body has to compete with it in your blood stream so the more glucose you eat the more vitamin c you will need
They ate what they got and often they got nothing and had to fast for some weeks. IF also was normal as it wasn't that easy to get food like today. It was basically "find enough food or die".
Hi Dr. Berg. Recently, I was told about ACV capsules. Does it contain "the mother" like the liquid Braggs? Please do a video on your take on it. Thanks in advance.
Quite obvious that eating only meat is optimal, is interesting that some tell you otherwise after learning a bit about how our digestive system works, is built for meat, plants in minimal amounts or when meat is not available and you are starving...
Thank you Dr. Berg for this video and clarification. It really does make a lot of sense our diets are likely best somewhere in the middle (meat/veg.-fiber) as you said. It's what's provided. Some things I've read on purely carnivore diets seem to actually conclude the same but for some individuals the carnivore route seems to help them normalize from plaguing ailments better.
Interesting, but we are not caveman anymore. Thus are nutritional needs have changed. We always like to talk about “ what we ate before” but we are not there anymore. We don’t need to store fat for the winter, or run from predators. We don’t need as many calories, we are more sedentary, we don’t walk or run all day... So don’t focus on the necessities of before, rather of today’s

@@monalisa-bs4zs Most successful athletes are young and clueless on diet and on performance-enhancing drugs. Some can go out and get high and drunk and still beat those clean-livers who don't have the genetics. Ask me how I know :/
There's vitamin c in animal foods. If you eat fresh meat you won't ever get scurvy. also there's this idea that glucose and vitamin c compete for the same receptor. So in other words less carbs means more efficient vitamin c absorption. We see this with other minerals like magnesium etc.
Not a single person on the Carnivore diet has shown any signs of scurvy (vitamin C deficiency) even though many have been strict Carnivore for years and most don’t even consume organs like liver that are high in vitamin C. The Inuit eating nothing but meat and fat for most of each year for thousands of years never showed evidence of suffering from scurvy. It has become fairly obvious at this point that humans need much less vitamin C than we thought, as long as we are not consuming sugars and starches such as grains. Glucose blocks absorption of vitamin C, therefore it is only logical that a high glucose diet requires vitamin C supplementation. But a meat-based diet does not, and humans have no apparent actual need to ever consume any plant food, as proven by the robust and healthy survival of the Inuit and Eskimo peoples in areas where there are no plants available through the majority of each year. Time to get with the program, Dr. Berg. I know you like eating a gigantic bowl of salad every day but there is zero proof that it is either necessary or helpful.
We probably have a larger colon than we need for modern vegetables. Not only did fruit used to be less sweet but vegetables used to be INSANELY fibrous and bitter. I'd venture to bet humans ate very few vegetables and more so roots but needed more colon to digest the tough ancestors of modern spinach.
Dr Berg, this question is not related to this video but is there anyway to treat Pterygium (Surfer's Eye) without surgery to remove the growth on the eyeball?
I believe we should lean a bit more towards meat but plants should be included. Plants back then aren’t like they are today. Theyre small less, nutritious and had higher amounts of anti nutrients. I imagine today eating a measuring cup or 2 max of veggies would be equivalent to the amount eaten back then
Hello professor, what is Corona virus and how do we protect ourselves from it and other viruses and what is the reason for its spread, thank you professor for being careful
In one word, human are omnivores. With little meat and big amounts of vegetables and fruits. Why? Because animals, in the wild, at the time of the caveman , were difficult to catch: they ran away. At any rate, fruits and vegetables are much easier to digest.
@Michele Curlee Vitamin C competes with insulin to be absorbed into the body. Don’t eat foods that raise insulin (aka zero carb diet) and all of the Vitamin C from animal products gets absorbed because it’s not competing with anything. You don’t need all that much to prevent scurvy.
Mindi Bear : I am Healthy Keto for over 2 years and skew toward carnivore...just curious on Berg’s take. I regularly tested with KetoMojo and still do occasionally...I am continually in health maintenance ketosis .... I also do 40+ fasting approximately once per month.
The cave people of those times had to eat meat to maintain their strength for survival during those times can you imagine what prehistoric creatures they were up against from the air and in the water and especially the giant ones roaming the earth it had to take brain and brawn to survive in that environment BUT here we are today from the prehistoric times

Not a single person on the Carnivore diet has shown any signs of scurvy (vitamin C deficiency) even though many have been strict Carnivore for years and most don’t even consume organs like liver that are high in vitamin C. The Inuit eating nothing but meat and fat for most of each year for thousands of years never showed evidence of suffering from scurvy. It has become fairly obvious at this point that humans need much less vitamin C than we thought, as long as we are not consuming sugars and starches such as grains. Glucose blocks absorption of vitamin C, therefore it is only logical that a high glucose diet requires vitamin C supplementation. But a meat-based diet does not, and humans have no apparent actual need to ever consume any plant food, as proven by the robust and healthy survival of the Inuit and Eskimo peoples in areas where there are no plants available through the majority of each year. Time to get with the program, Dr. Berg. I know you like eating a gigantic bowl of salad every day but there is zero proof that it is either necessary or helpful.
We probably have a larger colon than we need for modern vegetables. Not only did fruit used to be less sweet but vegetables used to be INSANELY fibrous and bitter. I'd venture to bet humans ate very few vegetables and more so roots but needed more colon to digest the tough ancestors of modern spinach.
I wonder how healthy a primary insectivore diet is.
Dr Berg, this question is not related to this video but is there anyway to treat Pterygium (Surfer's Eye) without surgery to remove the growth on the eyeball?
Caveman didnt live very long lives so ive heard
Doc, Surely Caveman only had a plant based diet UNTIL he discovered FIRE?!!!
Can you do a video on where the first humans came from and what they ate? The cavemen where not the first people.
Thank you, Dr Berg.
I think eating close to nature is the best.
I believe we should lean a bit more towards meat but plants should be included. Plants back then aren’t like they are today. Theyre small less, nutritious and had higher amounts of anti nutrients. I imagine today eating a measuring cup or 2 max of veggies would be equivalent to the amount eaten back then
What about wheat? I recently watched a documentary that showed some cavemen proceeding wheat
Well the ancestors of some of us did eat a small amount of wheat but in a form of slow-fermented sourdough bread.
Hello professor, what is Corona virus and how do we protect ourselves from it and other viruses and what is the reason for its spread, thank you professor for being careful
In one word, human are omnivores. With little meat and big amounts of vegetables and fruits. Why? Because animals, in the wild, at the time of the caveman , were difficult to catch: they ran away. At any rate, fruits and vegetables are much easier to digest.
Caveman would eat bone marrow, brain, liver, organs, fat on the animal and lastly muscle meat
Carnivores are saying that the need for vitamin C is eliminated or highly reduced on that regime...could you address that please?
@Michele Curlee Vitamin C competes with insulin to be absorbed into the body. Don’t eat foods that raise insulin (aka zero carb diet) and all of the Vitamin C from animal products gets absorbed because it’s not competing with anything. You don’t need all that much to prevent scurvy.
Mindi Bear : I am Healthy Keto for over 2 years and skew toward carnivore...just curious on Berg’s take. I regularly tested with KetoMojo and still do occasionally...I am continually in health maintenance ketosis .... I also do 40+ fasting approximately once per month.
If you are carnivore eating fresh meat you don't need to eat plants for vitamin C.
yup raw meat has enough vitamin C, vitamin C need goes up only in a presence of carbohydrates.
The cave people of those times had to eat meat to maintain their strength for survival during those times can you imagine what prehistoric creatures they were up against from the air and in the water and especially the giant ones roaming the earth it had to take brain and brawn to survive in that environment BUT here we are today from the prehistoric times
Ok, Eric mean the ruler, the king or the mighty one, Berg mean the mountain.
So the mighty King of the Mountain teached caveman how to eat.
Did u watch the video...
