I have more than 35 years experience in health and fitness and human nutrition and I say. Let's replace all the boring cooking TV shows with this guy! It's so refreshing to watch his videos.
I found this channel by pure accident last thursday. I was 337lb, with lots of health issues, highly hypocondriac, could not bear to hear anyting about the body or body functions without feeling physically bad and anxious. Still, for the first time in my life I was interested to hear, everything makes full sense, Dr. Berg's description of the pancreas body type fits unbelievably well with all my ills and the theory behind it all, what was wrong with me, how all my previous efforts failed, made perfect sense. I started watching one video after another.... Well, I started doing intermittent fasting (18/6, 2 meals a day) and planning my keto shoplist last since friday. Now is tuesday and I'm already 328lb, so it's a 9lb loss for starters. I know it's a LONG, LONG way to go, but I''m excited and it has been actually much easier than previous attempts at dieting. I will carry on, learn more and do more. Wish me luck.
@@maplesden6768 Thanks!! Today I weighted 316lb, so it's 21lb in little more than two weeks; I'm still perfecting and adjusting diet, but have totally cut sugars and flours, and I can do the 16/8 IF window pretty effortless. For those who are wondering if they should do this, I can say that my energy levels have already gone sky-high (people seem to think of an obese guy full of energy as odd, but I'm happy nevertheless), and hunger has not gone completely yet, but drastically reduced. IF is not hard at all and the benefits are quick to perceive!
Bruno LeCathare Way to go Bruno, I am very happy for you. You got this. And remember if you should falter, don't worry about it, just get back on track and keep moving forward😀
My wife was diagnosed 5 weeks ago with T2D. Went keto with cruciferous veggies along with intermittent fasting, ACV and walks after meals. Zero sugars and carbs, besides the veggies.. Her blood sugar went from 300 to cruising around 90-120. I've lost 15 lbs and she's lost 12 lbs. Aches and pains are gone, tremendous mental clarity (she's doing math in her head, never could before!), tons of energy, skin is clear, ankles aren't swollen and waking up bright-eyed. Thank you doctor for the easily understood science and am excited for check up in December! This works!
I lost over 50 pounds and reversed diabetes just by following Dr. berg's directions. So, what if he's not a medical Dr.? I rather follow his advise over the so called medical ones. Thank you very much Dr. Berg, from the bottom of my heart. And may God bless you and your loved ones.
Dr berg I should openly confess that during a 3 mo practice of your tips I lost 18 kg , Although as a pediatrician I knew most of what you present but your inspiration and power of speech can help alot . your knowledge is now being multiplied in my office , I help others in a way you do using your fluent understandable points . you are excellent 💐💐appreciation from Iran .

Dr you just saved my life! I was killing myself and had no idea I was. I'm 32 been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2007 amd never was explained exactly what it was. I was just put on pills that I hated taking. In February my right quadriceps tendon broke my kneecap in half while I was just WALKING and my quadriceps muscle on my left knee tore completely off. I didnt do anything for that to happen. My muscles ache, my left big toe is stiff and my right middle finger is bent. I contemplated suicide because I was suffering so much pain and my body was falling apart. To add insult to injury I have a hemmorage in my left eye, found out my vitamin d level was 8 (dangerously low) and I was hospitalized for having low potassium. I felt like I was dying. While recovering from my knee surgeries I started researching on how to fix myself since my doctors are baffled on my condition and came across your videos. I started implementing what you suggest along with water fasting once a week and my fasting sugars are now under 120, my finger is straightening out, my big toe can bend now, my eye sight is improving and I feel sooooo good! All I can do is cry, Happy tears, because I have a 4 and a 5 year old and was thinking I may not live to see them graduate high school. Thank you so much for your videos! You are beyond awesome! God bless you ❤
Wow. Do you have documentation of all this?? Amazing stuff. Please make a video of your experiences. I have been a health nut all my life, training with weights since age 15 (subbed for yoga for a few years, now back to weights) but I was getting FAT! I couldn't stand it. I ate "healthy" was contemplating adding more and more exercise (at 47 yrs old, was daunting), then tried IF and shed 25lbs. I also was getting prostatitis and was fearful it could turn into prostate cancer. I truly believe IF alleviated the condition. Thought my story was great until reading this from you. Again, please make a video, I believe there are many people that are pre-diabetic, and have no idea. the healthcare industry just treats the symptoms and people are dying.
True, because the drugs that they are giving you create other health problems that they can give you other drugs for. It's just job security for Big Pharma. The rat Bastards. Listen to the Drug commercials, after they rush through telling you all the side effects, you may be better off with your original problem. Sad
Cant believe NO ONE ever bothered to teach this cascade of health facts in nursing school! .Cant help but wonder how many doctors don't understand the importance this makes to our health Dr Berg, you're the best!
It's almost as if they have been lying to us for the benefit of the large corporations to which our government represents, Here is a question for you What animal consumes another animals milk ? Stupid humans that have been idoctrinated into believing the lie that we should drink cows milk.
Why would the medical industry and big pharma keep you unhealthy and with minimal real health info??? Answer: Profits$$ They don't make money if you're healthy, period.
Thanks for this video. It helps to understand the science behind healthy weight loss. My hubby and I have been on keto food plan for 1.5 yrs. He has lost 45 lbs, and I have lost 55 lbs. We follow you regularly - all that apply to us. Thanks again.
Wow! Congratulations to the both of you! Thank you for sharing! Could you tell us more about it and would you be willing to submit it here, so that we can share it? Please use this link: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story
@@Drberg hey Dr Berg, my wife works out everyday and is physically fit. She eats somewhat healthy. One big problem is that she NEVER goes to the bathroom. Like 1-2 times a week. Some times 4/5 days without going to the bathroom. We have gone to many doctors who say “you have a lazy colon.” They don’t do anything. Please help!
Trust medical lecturers go way faster than this, this lecture would be 8 min max at uni combined with loads of new terminology. But if you're a none medic watching this then you're amazing, not many people can get their heads around this stuff so well done xx
I literally just cried watching this. FINALLY someone explained all my symptoms and what is happening to me. I’ve been to Dr after Dr! I’ve already been intermittent fasting (one month with no results :-(. )....but the diet explanation makes so much sense. Been eating all the wrong food for me! Thank you Thank you!
I watched this video about 4 years ago, I took action (keto and intermittent fasting) I lost weight, felt great...then I slowly drifted back to carbs and gained all the weight back. I've been struggling to get back up and make it a lifestyle change but I keep failing. So I came back to this video to get the science fixed in my mind and get my mind back to my initial why. I am changing my set point and maintain it this time around. 2024 UPDATE. I failed to stick to keto again, but I finally figured out a better way to lose weight and keep off. I now do 16:8 to 18:6 IF and eat a bit of carbs for lunch. I have lost 12kg in about 8 months. I don't feel deprived or Hungry, no cravings, no suffering. If I am hungry in the morning I eat a small low carb meal.
That’s cuz it isn’t realistic to cut off a whole food group and you will not be able to maintain it forever. We are going to eat a slice of cake or a cookie once in a while. That’s why I just count calories and try to eat healthy foods but I will eat a cookie or a pizza or ice cream when I want to. It’s impossible for me to say I will cut those foods off forever. Otherwise I will end up binging. I just count my calories. Nothing too restrictive.
@@nadiab7764 I totally agree with you and I have come to the conclusion of July eating healthy, taking longer walks, sleeping better and implement a 16:8 intermittent fasting because I can stick with it long term. I am tired of losing the weight and gaining it all back. I am thinking lifelong commitment now.
You are seriously a God sent!! I’m almost in tears because you gave advice I couldn’t afford and I just appreciate you so much! May God truly bless you for helping us Dr. from the bottom of my heart, thank you!!
I feel the same. I've done WW, Water fasts, Cleanses, Atkins, NOOM, nothing worked - till this! I eased into it adding a thing or two and taking out a thing or two. Been solid on Keto for about a month, with a few mistakes in my math along the way, but I feel confident I can eat like this for the rest of my life! It's all about the journey. You'll get to your destination. Enjoy the journey. Godspeed to you.
I love this video and although I am not doing the keto diet, I did change my eating habits to speed up my metabolism. I went from 207 lbs - 175 using the basic principles he taught in this video. I have not been this weight for 20 years and went from 36 pants down to a 32 slim fit, as well as L and some XL down to Medium shirts. Thank you Dr. Berg because at 54 I am healthier than I was at 34.
@@Marie-cp4yf I just stopped all grazing and only eating when I eat my meals, and making sure that no eating was after 7. Now I have moved to intermittent fasting and eating twice a day and no grazing. I feel as good as I did 25 years ago (I am currently 54 years old)

I was only 25 pounds over weight, eating healthy vegan who was pre diabetic. Tried everything and guess what? The only thing that worked was intermittent fasting and eliminating all sugar including fruit! I have never felt better and the weight is off! And Dr Berg you are amazing!
Najstefaniji ... Oh, do stop trolling...you'll just be more miserable if you don't. There's a reason every single religion on the planet teaches something akin to karma, also known as the Law of Sowing and Reaping. It's because that's how God made this world to work. Whatever you 'sow' into the lives of others, you will 'reap' in your own. You can either send things out that will come back to bless you or bite you in the backside. It's your choice.
Hello Dr. Berg. I know this video is older, but I have been watching EVERYTHING I can on IR to repair my digestive system etc. After looking at your percentage list..I realized that what I thought was a "healthy " first meal of the day IS NOT! Nonfat, unsweetened organic yogurt with organic mixed berries. Fairly high percentage on the list..I have been intermittent fasting for 2 weeks and not losing any weight ( aiming for 17 lbs) so I have decided to change my first meal around noon to eggs with cheese and vegetables and sometimes 🥓 bacon. I am not a big meat eater but I do miss my rice toast and pasta. Sp for awhile anyway I am beginning this new plan to see if my setpoint will break. I will keep in touch. Thank you ❤
Thank you Dr Berg, you have changed how I view food. 8 weeks into intermittent fasting, I’ve broken through 8 pounds down, one meal a day (high fat) high fiber , zero cravings, and plenty of good supplements.
I was diagnosed with T2D when I was 47, 6"4', and 270 pds. I changed up my diet and lifestyle in the same ways you have. In fact, I lost 12 pds the first month and continued to do that until I balanced at around 205. I also walked, and I also found that mental clarity. Well, now I'm 51 years old, and I've been in diabetic remission for a solid year and a half. I run and weight train daily. I'm now more athletic than ever before in my life. For my 50th birthday month, I ran 300 km in a Canadian January winter. Ill also note I was never a runner before in my life.. It all spawned from the power of a proper way of living. - words to inspire you and your wife's journey of new health. 🙌 Keep it up! Life is beautiful.
Fix your diet before getting into higher intensity exercise. You can’t fix a bad diet with exercise. Walk before your first meal, and last meal of the day. The weight literally falls off once your body starts fixing insulin resistance. Cut out processed sugars grains and crappy oils. I am 53 and haven’t felt this good in 25 years Joint pain is gone. A1c is now perfect. I was on cusp of getting the prediabetes dx. Dr. Berg may not be a fitness guru, but I respect his knowledge of nutrition and insulin. Also follow Thomas DeLauer, Dr Jason Fung, Low Carb DownUnder, for a complete picture.
The first time I tried Keto I failed because I didn't understand what it was about or how it was connected to my personal health concerns. But after discovering you doing a video about PCOS, I delved further into your videos and found your Keto videos. Since watching you, I now have the knowledge and understanding of what is going on inside of me and why things are the way they are. Not only that, but now I can start to actually fix and heal myself. I have zero doubt in my mind that this time I can actually do this. Thank you so much for giving your time to help others through your videos and knowledge. You're saving lives. I plan on reporting back here once the change is noticeable. Thank you so much Dr. Berg!!! ❤️
Dr. Berg's advice has helped me lose 70 lbs over the last 4 months. My HBa1c has gone from 9.6 to 5.2 and my blood pressure has gone from 140/95 to 110/78 as of yesterday. Thank you Dr. Berg, not only for all the help, but for giving me back bacon!
Is not problem that much lose weight but when you still have exsess skin end you don't have money to eliminate that problem because operation cost to much.🤔😞
I see why youre not on TV and all over the magazine cover and newspaper articles, because there is too much truth. I've been following you for awhile and also reading and watching other doctors/nutritionists who do their research and back up the same information and you pretty much just put a lot of really great points in a short video. Excellent.
Have you reached your ideal body weight yet? I have observed those losing 20 to 120 lbs and keeping it off over 30 years. On a plant based oil free diet.
This video was a major eye-opener for me. I have a fatty liver, I dont drink alcohol, and losing weight has been very hard for me. It's scary to think that I have insulin resistance, but I'm grateful that you provided steps to reverse it. Thank you!
Thank you Dr Berg - This is by far the BEST EVER video i have seen for weight loss. I never feel hungry in the morning and my personal trainer INSISTED that no matter what you got to have breakfast.and also suggested snaking so 5/6 meals! often i was forcing myself to eating. I am now focusing on just 3 meals and i feel much better. THANK YOU SIR.
Jayendra Lakhani What the Doctor needs to know and understand that the only way to speed up the metabolism is by building more muscle mass by eating high protein+ low carb and lifting weights, muscle is living tissue and the cells are constantly feeding and consuming calories to stay alive, that is why bodybuilders can eat up to 5,000 calories a day and keep a low body fat, It's as simple as that, muscle eats the fat.
Is the body having a low set point? How long has the person dieted? Are there fatty liver issues? Is the person insulin resistant? What about gender or age? Estrogen levels? The doctor is saying that there are cellular issues needing to be addressed, along with food combinations in order for the fat to be burned. If it was that simple and bodybuilding was effective for all, then there would be lean people all over the world. The issues are more complex and a person needs to find out what works for them. Giving general blanket advice like this is harmful to people who are insulin resistant with metabolic syndrome issues needing to be addressed.

You hit the nail on the head when you said it's very unnatural to lose weight. The body just doesn't want to make big changes to itself. I think we all know this on some level. Thank you for another wonderful presentation.
Thank you for speaking and articulating so that the average person can truly understand what is happening with their body. You just connected the dots and made it all make sense.
This explains why I always was able to lose weight on 2 well thought out meals a day with exercise, when everyone told me I was starving myself and that I wouldn't be able to lose anything, and would retain weight instead. I only knew what my body actually responded to so I didn't listen to them. I cut out bread and sugar. It works.
@@_JohnDoe I've been on a ketogenic diet for the past month and on day 28 I had lost 12 lbs. Start weight 162. I'm 5' 5" tall and just turned 57yo. I have been challenged with cancer for almost 15 years. Besides dealing with pain and getting tired easily (chemo does that), one of my main issues is "eating". I was on a feeding tube and then my nutrition was "Boost Plus Calories". I'm sick of all that so have been experimenting with foods and liquefying them. Eg. Mashed potatoes laden with gravy to get it all down. I can boil pasta double time and mash it enough to get it down but add liquid, eg... VH Garlic sauce.... Next thing I knew I was a painful blob sitting in a corner doing nothing with my life. If I went to a 3 hour family function it fried me for 2 days. Just travelling from here to there beat me up. So enough is enough is enough already and I needed to take control of my life and with friends living the ketogenic life style I turned to them and the internet. I've done my homework for the most part. I am eating no more than 20 carbs a day... high fat and watching my protein intake. I do use a macro counter but I don't keep a journal. I want to try to keep it really simple but I also want to be sure. My ONLY concern is, am I taking in enough calories!!! I know that calorie intake is not as important as the "quality" of what I am ingesting and digesting but with that said, my calorie intake are still extremely low in my opinion. I just don't know and cannot find anything on the internet. My "Carb Manager" program suggest I have no more than 1,012 calories a day and then my macros are based on that but I'm only consuming anywhere between 300-700 calories. Is this OK???!!! I don't know yet. So I do 12 hour intermittent fasting all the time. I have "my" POWER COFFEE around 4am (Bullet Proof coffee that I add a home made mixture of particular spices to). I drink 2 about an hour apart... sometimes 3. I drink close to a gallon of water daily. Two or 3 times a day I have a big glass of water and add apple cider vinegar, Himalayan salt and a splash of lemon juice. If you don't like the taste of it just chuck it down and be done with it :-) A few times a week I will add some cayenne pepper to this water mix. I will have green tea in the afternoon and sometimes add ginger or my "spice mix". I've made my own bone broth and sip on that sometimes too - it freezes well in portions so it's quick & convenient too. Then I have my meal between 4-5pm. A meal example for me would be sockey salmon, (I'll have chicken/turkey/sardines/ham and occasionally beef), 2 fried eggs, maybe some cauliflower (I pretend it's mashed potatoes), and spinach. I love fish and spinach!!!! How do I liquefy all this for my individualized diet??? Well I take some bone broth and add the high fiber flax seed meal and it thickens it and I use that for gravy :-) I will also add some sour cream and/or a salsa sauce of sorts. I have nothing but water after my meal. I'm in bed between 8-10pm. All this to say I've NEVER felt better!!!!! That MCT oil (I call it coconut oil on steroids) gives me soooooooooo much energy that I've done my spring cleaning and it's just the beginning of Feb!!!!! I think my cleaning lady has just lost her job :-) I am so full of energy that I sometimes don't know what to do with myself. I don't exercise much but for small walks and I'll "dance" my way around the house. I do the odd squats... I will get into a small exercise routine but I'll never "work out"!! I still do get tired but then I'm a "wired-tired". I can cope with that for the most part. I've been on a kazillion different pain meds over the years without success but just this past fall I discovered an awesome pain remedy and it totally works and I'm so thrilled about that but it costs me min. $150.00 a month out of my pocket that I just can't afford but I will never go back to that pain so I just manage somehow. My specialist told me just this fall that my pain is directly related to my vast radiation and there is nothing they can do (like more surgury). WELL NOW....for the past week now, I have NOT taken this expensive pain med because I'm NOT feeling pain!!! Is it this diet??? Is it something that has naturally happened in my body??? I don't know!!!! I don't care.... I'm not only feeling soooooooooooo waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better with an energy level I haven't had in forever and no severe pain (it was on a scale of 1-10, a continuous flare of 14).... many days were spent in bed!!! Not anymore!! Whooooooooooo hoooooooooooooooo!!!!! I do not have a weight goal. I will know when I feel good about my weight.... I'm thinking around 120lbs or so. I am doing this for a ketogenic life style and the weight loss is just a bonus. With my circumstance as they are I do have to work at ensuring I am getting all the good nutrition I need... potassium, magnesium etc.... so this continues to be a work in progress. I will NOT go out and pay for all these advertised Keto this or Keto that. My friends never had to plus I've heard and read too many stories about them. Like I said, I want to keep it simple and carefree.... low carb & high fat with a proper ratio of protein. Oh and I've fasted once for 48 hours at the beginning of this diet. Today I am choosing to have a "liquid" day. I can't call it a fast because I'm having my POWER COFFEE and that breaks any fast. So that's my story and how I'm working things and so far it's all working for me. My only QUESTION is..... IS say, 500 calories a day OK as long as your macros are in balance??? I'm feeling GREAT after a month with lots of energy and drinking plenty of water and trying to keep up on proper/good nutrition. I REALLY wish I could find something on this. They say eat when you are hungry and I do and they say stop when you are full.... but to get more calories in, by the time I'm done my meal I'm stuffed. I don't want to eat 2-3 meals a day because every time you put something in your mouth it spikes your insulin and I don't want that either. Besides, I'm just not hungry. I'm coming off a 100% Boost diet so I'm used to not "eating". I also have no cravings because I haven't been able to eat chips and cupcakes, donuts etc for years so certainly not an issue. I wish everyone else a great journey on their Keto diet/life style. I sure would love to hear your story an how you are all doing with it and if anyone can help me out with suggestions/ideas and answer my "calorie" issue I'd be very grateful. Cheers all. Joanne
I like it when you said don't eat if u r not hubgry coz it remembers me of a hadith of our prophet mohamed that says : we are a people who doesn't eat until we feel hungry and if we eat we don't eat until fulfilled ❤
My set point for the last 36 years has been 152 pounds, this was the weight I reached during pregnancy. I have always felt very comfortable with it but always knew that I was overweight. Believe me I have tried every diet in the world and it always crept back to 152. Thank you Dr. Eric for now I am in control and I will achieve my ideal weight of 125. So far I have lost 15 pounds in four weeks and I have never ever felt better. I am already fasting😊. And believe it or not since I work in the travel industry I don’t have to travel with snacks or drinks or a freaking candy bar in my purse anymore I can go around the world and not eat for a while. For me that is a blessing and no stress while working. What a huge relief. And, those two guys I had that caused my set point: are on Keto also.
Yo I gotta say. I’ve watched your videos for two years and have NEVER gotten keto/IF 100% right. But I always keep watching and learning information. And the whole time, even though I was never doing keto/IF PERFECTLY, I still lost weight. Just because I switched my mindset from EXERCISE/COUNT CALORIES to *just watch your blood sugar* That was all it took. Just a lil education. Nothing perfect.
I'm 5'8" 230lbs which is definitely fatboy status. Dr told me I had a fatty liver and needed to change asap. Aside from that I have high bp...the list goes on. I'm not 2 weeks in and been eating cleaner and no sugar. I will try to incorporate his strategy by eating 2-3 meals with NO snacking for the next week. In 2 weeks I have lost roughly 10lbs and already feeling more stable energy. Great video...wish me luck!
Good luck , but brutal discipline will help you win not luck bro, once yer a fat burner you'll feel like a new man , I'm fat too, but way less than I was , the fasting and new set point works I proved it over the winter
I am from India. I have been suffering with high insulin levels since 2003. Visited a no. of doctors but my problem remained unsolved till date. I am always hungry, weak, no energy for anything. I am a living corpse. Thx a lot doctor for giving a solution to my chronic problem. I thank you and bless you.
His advice on eating when hungry is so true, people don't realize how long they can go without going hungry, in some parts of words people fast from dawn to dusk (normally 13 hours) and usually don't feel hungry until the last hour. also eating on a schedule is partly responsible for gas and shorten breath and drowsiness. the idea is not to eat when you are starving, just until you are almost about to go hungry. Besides all food taste good when you are hungry.
I don't agree with that since you can induce that artificially by habit. If you will organize your meals (no matter how many) in the same way for few days, your brain will register that frequency and will "warn" you that he's hungry around those specific hours. Try it and you will see.
Isn’t that the truth! He had no arrogance, judgement, monotone. He actually looks at you. I can’t stand an instructor who acts likes your not in the room.
His delivery is so smooth and easy to understand I wish I knew about him a lot longer This is where I would tell anybody to go to get good advice cuz you can understand him
Just as an FYI, Im European and the EU don't allow many of the chemicals that the US allows in their food e.g there are additives in your mcDonalds fries that arent in ours (even tho its the same company), plus u guys put extra hormones in ur beef (not allowed in the UK), plus u chlorinate your chicken, also not allowed here. you guys have no idea how many extra weird chemicals ur all eating just cos ur government allow it.
I have to agree, when I stop by a market(I will not name) I read a label for chicken breast and when I read, NOT used with Clorinated water, I couldn't believe it!! The reason I switched and tried this market, because I notice chicken just didnt taste the same in other stores that had the NAME brand poultry. I tasted a huge difference, and I will never go back to that name brand chicken.
Not true there are many chemicals in meat and other foods in the UK. Chicken for example is injected with a lot. And there is no a lot of vegetables available as well as fish and seafood. But there is a huge amount of frozen food. I not only gotten sick but put weight on.After moving here, and i was eating the same as i did before i moved here from The Netherlands.
I heard they use chlorine dioxide on the chicken. Chlorine dioxide is very healthy...google it !! Otherwise I think all tthe chemicals will make you want to stop eating just thinking about 'em !!
I found doctor Eric Berg's channel last week and it has greatly changed my life .. I now know almost everything on dieting, bloating, intermittent fasting, fat burning foods and exercises, insulin and many others. I subscribed a lot and am so happy because i now know the dos and don't of my body. Thanks so much
This all makes so much sense. Once again, the government are the last ones we should be listening to. "Low fat" diets have made us fat. Pushing whole grains has increased our gluten intake, so more diabetes and more fat people (including me). It kind-of pisses me off. Watch some videos by Thomas DeLauer too. He has some really good videos on intermittent fasting. I'm going to start doing this.
Resistance training is how you “fix” a slow metabolism. Btw your metabolism isn’t “broken” in the first place. It’s called adaptation and your body burns calories at a rate that your body needs. Low percentage muscle mass = slower metabolism, higher percentage muscle mass = fast metabolism.
Not exactly. Please read the Secret Life of Fat. Library has it. Your mentality causes extreme bias for larger people. It's not that simple. Fat people hike and do all kinds of stuff. I walk most people under the table, easy. 5+ miles a day. You can still be fat and exercise. If you are or were heavier, it's not the same as of you never were fat. Even dogs. Have you ever seen a fat greyhound? I have others that you have to watch their food very carefully.
since I start watching your videos, I have lost 10 kilos but in 2 months from 70 to 60 kilos, I gained back 3 kilos this lockdown ... thanks Dr Berg for doing this videos it helps us a lot.
I have actually lost 35 kg 6 years ago, and I'm still maintaining my weight, if i gain 2 or 3 extra kilos, i fast for like a week and get rid of them. I'm used now to eat only once a day around 4 PM, and that's it.
Can I just ask, do you not feel weak by eating just once a day? And can you maintain normal weight by that and not keep losing weight until it becomes unhealthy?
@@AnnaK-qw2qf it only takes a couple days to get used to a one meal a day. You’re training your brain. For me, I’ll drink water or tea in the morning or late morning and just keep busy once you are used to it you don’t really think to eat cause of what time it is. I prefer to eat dinner so I’ve gotten used to just drinking water or tea at work and planning a nice meal for dinner.
@@AnnaK-qw2qf By studying Dr Berg's videos n low blood sugar, one can avoid feeling weak. Also if one has enough electrolytes, especially potassium, around 4.7g combined with enough magnesium, calcium, trace minerals, it really helps to increase one's fasting periods. My normal fasting time is around 23hrs now. But I have even more benefits. If I want to stop loosing weight, I do resistence exercises to muscle up. That strenghten my bones.
Finding dr berg on UA-cam is like finding gold. I have lost 50 pounds. Not pre diabetic anymore and i feel very healthy and enegetic. Also no more acid reflux issues i used to have them all the time and doctors just kept giving me pills for it. Eating healthy and fasting is the best thing you could ever do to your body.
All othe doctors can just go away :) All doctors need more training in nutrition.. they only cover nutrition for a WEEK in medical school which is MINDBLOWINGLY stupid...
@@Prettify_collections For 3 months I did eat at 12 noon and then at 5pm...The only time I could not follow this was when I am not feeling well, then I had at 10, 2 and 7....Also observed that stopping milk consumption was the best thing...I don't feel bloated at all after I left milk...having lime juice once in 2 days helps as well..I like almost all vegetables..chicken/Lamb with fat..
I've been doing intermittent fasting for the past 10 days and went from 61kg to 57.1kg so almost 4kg lost in 10 days ( almost 9 lbs). I skip breakfast, don't snack and eat 2 meals a day. This definitely works. I don't exercise at all. I eat fairly normal meals: scrambled eggs, a burger with veg, chicken curry, soup etc. All homemade though. I even had a little bit of bread with butter and some dark chocolate (a few little chunks, not the whole bar). If I was stricter with my meals I could have lost even more, but I'm fine doing it that way as it turned out I have a problem with my thyroid so I need to sort it out too. I'm constantly cold and tired.
I Really like the way you try to bring health to others, people you don't even know ! this is a very good fact for a dr or human! I always pray God to bless you in every thing you do in life!
I have learned so much from your video's. I struggled for years with weight loss, dieting and I did not understand "what" I was suppose to do. So many things that I thought I was doing right was working against me. Now I am following your suggestions and I feel SO good, I am loosing weight and exactly what you say came true "I am not hungry or suffering from cravings that would steal my self esteem" I thank you so much for all your work you have put into these videos and products-Dr Berg You have saved my life. Sincerely, 59 year old grandmother of 8, regaining my life back.
Very helpful Dr. Berg! I’ve started intermittent fasting and I am like you. I must have breakfast then a good lunch and I’m done for the day. It has been working out just fine. In the past, my hardest times were evenings because that’s when I’d make all the wrong decisions with food choices and late night snacking. No more of that!!
In my view this video is the best Dr. Berg ever put out. I used to be a banana girl (4 cases of 40# a week). Now I see why I did not do that well on that diet even though I was getting very high potassium. I was spiking my insulin to 84% and becoming pre-diabetic! Now on keto I do much, much better, with a consistently high energy level and good sleep. As an added bonus the color is coming back to my cheeks too. At 74 I consider this a new lease on life.
Where are you getting your potassium from after you stopped eating bananas? I have potassium deficit. But whenever i eat banana or potato which has high potassium level, my stomach gets bloated and i can feel that it is not getting digested well. I usually want to throw up but i get lot of muscle cramps and i do need that potassiums. Can you give me advice on what you changed in your diet so that you still get potassiums? Thank you.
Tsendee Ts Jola ! To the rescue ! Potassium is a mineral and minerals come from the ground. Green leafy vegetables are high in potassium. Please check dr Bergs video on Potassium, he explains very well there ! Have ACV 2-3 times a day . Sounds like you are lacking hydrochloric acid / stomach acid hence you can’t digest food properly. In addition consume sauerkraut pickes in brine olives kambucha tea to increase stomach acids. Do not take calcium carbonate. It lowers stomach acid ! Drink water with sea salt. Good luck
Your videos are the most valuable on UA-cam, you have a tremendous ability to make complicated stuff so easy, but the best part is your honesty, you’re sharing your knowledge for free, unlike many doctors who use their knowledge to make money, no wonder so many people subscribe, thank you fir caring 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
It’s been two years since I have been following you, thank you Dr.Berg…you are a real doctor that many wana be dr. Should learn from and I am sure they are.
By watching your videos I feel like I am sitting in a medical school auditorium and getting top ok the line training and education! God bless you for this ! 🙏
You’re Awesome Dr. Berg!!! Thank you... Thank you thank you!... I’m 38 and I’ve been a little over weight for like 5 years but I don’t get hungry in the morning and people always in a way force me to eat because apparently it’s the most important meal of the day. So Thank you!.. I won’t eat until I’m hungry, period!..
bruno very proud of you. im starting my journey today. All these fads on diets got old and didnt work, i had to stop and look at myself and not be like everyone else. I had to start loving myself first and not worry about what society says. Society tells us how we should look and feel--- no way!!!! There are reasons why we all are different and look different. People are overweight because of issues we dont know about- i could be heredity etc... Same as those that are underweight. So when society puts these pictures in our minds that we need to look like this to be accepted, its a bunch of crap. Learning to love yourself is not easy believe me i know, but once u start to like the little pieces of you and surround yourself with likeminded people it becomes easier. I didnt know half of my problem until Dr. Berg made it easy to understand. Thats what was missing- someone taking the time to really make it simple and easy to enjoy the lecture- instead of crammimg it down.. Its gonna be a journey but im with each and everyone of you who are struggling... WE GOT THIS!!!!!!!
Very interesting, I used to be slim until I had gestational diabetes in my last pregnancy and the Dr prescribed insulins and since that time is no way I can loose weight no matter how much I tried. They told me I am pre diabetic and fasting will make me diabetic, but listening to you it make totally sense. Thanks i will definitely try this.
This video explains it all... I have a problem losing belly fat. I work out 3 or 4 times a week (strength+cardio). But I don't lose any weight..or I should say 'belly size' (because I'm gaining muscle, so my weight does go up because of that). Now I know why.... I eat 7 times a day (small amounts) because I want to gain muscle, so I need a lot protein... I only eat the foods (most of them) on the right side of your table with the percentages...(so...the ones that spike the insulin the most). So I'm spiking my insulin all day long - both with the number of meals AND with the kind of food I eat... And I'm not even mentioning the protein shakes I'm drinking... The doctor told me last time that I have to be careful because my sugar levels were too high. And I was like..what? I hardly eat any sugar... Your video explains it all. So I'm going to start by reducing the number of meals to 3 (which will be hard because I will be hungry) and also limit the protein shakes (1 or 2 after workout). Tnx for the info!
Mario L. increase your fat intake and you won't feel hungry. Try Burst training, Tabata training or HIIT training after your resistance training for your belly fat. should melt away

The solution is the exact contrary. Watch Dr. McDougall and Dr. Doug Graham. Fruits and Veg, Bananas and Potatoes. NO added fat. NO added protein. The weight will fall off like crazy. The diabetes will disapper - as will heart disease etc. Sadly this video is total BS. The science today says the exact contrary to this. Read up. No scientific proof for healthiness or long term weight loss on a FATTY diet whatsoever.
Best Family Lately I haven't had much time to do cardio. When I do have time, I try to apply HIIT training on the bike or treadmill. I must say that the fat is also a result of a hormone problem. Since last year, I don't produce any testosterone anymore, not without 'help' (injections). So my testosterone level plays a big role. A blood test last september showed that my Test was at 3.16 nmol/L, while someone my age should have between 8.64 and 29.00... So, the lack of Test fucks everything up. Now I'm back at 19.00 but if I don't get any injection (Sustanon) regularly, it will quickly go down again.
I am so happy to have discovered you. I am pre diabetic and I really eat healthy but I struggle with my weight and everything that you are explaining it truly makes so much sense. I will definitely follow your recommendations plus I will add Apple cider vinegar before meals. And lately I’ve been skipping breakfast and I only have two meals but I was snacking in between with non fat Greek yogurt with berries and that really raises my insulin so I am stopping that. Thank you again for this valuable information.
Wow I've always wondered how my grandmother and her sisters managed to live over 100years old on coconut, palm and palm kernel oils, leafy green sauces and basic fermented African foods...She always had soft boiled duck eggs...Her youngest sister died at the age of 110 with good eyesight, no diapers and was mobile...We nicknamed her 'The Fossil'...Most Ghanaian carb dishes are highly fermented; stinky and sour but yummy...lol
sunshine42 Thanks and yes, but I must take better care of myself living in the States, or I would lose the longevity genes. I'm happy I discovered Dr. Berg; he's taught me a lot about how to eat for health...
I do not know much, but have been watching ketogenic videos like a mad ! and from what you just shared, and what I have learned so far, that sounds like a perfect diet!!!! you mentioned duck eggs, (free range of course! not corn fed) fabulous super food! and fermented foods, perfect, so good for the body and digestion etc. And coconut oil, amazing... for avoiding diabetes etc, and I believe good for the brain! And leafy greens, and I bet organic...I am guessing not much or any sugar? processed foods! or wheat? Ok I am MOVING to Africa now.... No wonder she lived too a 110~ ! I bet she was walking in her 8 month of life as well! I read about that too, African babies walking then, (there motor skills are more developed from breast feeding and the mother carrying them all the time on the hip or back). I tried that with my daughter, she never sat in a stroller (or car seat) and was walking in her 9 month and is still a brainiac and going to medical school in the next couple of years
Thank you so much, Dr. Berg! You really helped me understand what happens in our bodies with insulin (resistance). So grateful to you for all the amazing education you give us. God bless you 🙏❤️
After watching this I had been doing this without knowing this for the last 7 years and felt I had broken my routine all apart especially during covid. I used to have BLD 5 years ago and for the last 5 years for some reason reduced to LD without knowing. I never had or felt any snacking ever in my life between meals. The only extra thing I had is consume beer that has zero carbs at dinner time. Thanks for fixing my mind now.
Thanks dr berg for the help and information you have provided. I’ve been intermittent fasting for a month now and lost 10kg. I eat high protein vegetables everyday and no carbs and sugars. And water no other type of drinks. I can’t exercise because of my back so I am relying on this diet. My mind is more positive and I’m finding more control in what I eat. I get hungry a lot even after foods but I’m hoping this comes down as I continue. I’ve lived a very unhealthy lifestyle and I’m 6,1 and was weighing 105kg now at 95kg. Only problem is though it’s more fat then muscle as I’ve been out of work for 4 years now due to slipped disks and sciatica but I am going to do this and be healthy for once in my life. As soon as I get injections in my back I will then be able to exercise 👌
Thank you so much for giving us this information in a clear, concise manner. I think al lot of people just give up as they age because we follow the “rules” and our weight keeps going up and our bodies start breaking down. I don’t know which is more concerning, doctors not knowing this stuff or knowing it and not passing it on.
I love the way you explain things Dr. Berg. Very informative and in exactly the right tone for us to hear you. I am so grateful for your video’s. You helped me lose 30 pounds! And I’ve learned to not diet. Just eat the right things and eat at the right times! Thank you!
Your videos have been amazing, I've been doing IF for months and first lost weight but then gained it all back, I realized how the food I were eating weren't working with my body and now I'm starting the lose weight again!
@@sidakpreetvirk581 see what kind of diet worked for you, keto worked for me and with IF it helped a ton, I eventually did platue for keto, and cut certain foods out of my diet and went back to a regular diet, with IF I've kept most the weight off
I just watched the video on how to fix a broken metabolism and I found it VERY helpful. I learned ALOT that I really needed to know and just want to say: "Thank You Dr. Berg". I just started to follow you as well as begin the keto on steroids eating plan and will continue on my weight loss journey with your help.

I found this channel by pure accident last thursday. I was 337lb, with lots of health issues, highly hypocondriac, could not bear to hear anyting about the body or body functions without feeling physically bad and anxious. Still, for the first time in my life I was interested to hear, everything makes full sense, Dr. Berg's description of the pancreas body type fits unbelievably well with all my ills and the theory behind it all, what was wrong with me, how all my previous efforts failed, made perfect sense. I started watching one video after another.... Well, I started doing intermittent fasting (18/6, 2 meals a day) and planning my keto shoplist last since friday. Now is tuesday and I'm already 328lb, so it's a 9lb loss for starters. I know it's a LONG, LONG way to go, but I''m excited and it has been actually much easier than previous attempts at dieting. I will carry on, learn more and do more. Wish me luck.
You can do it Bruno!! im rooten for ya!!!!
@@maplesden6768 Thanks!! Today I weighted 316lb, so it's 21lb in little more than two weeks; I'm still perfecting and adjusting diet, but have totally cut sugars and flours, and I can do the 16/8 IF window pretty effortless. For those who are wondering if they should do this, I can say that my energy levels have already gone sky-high (people seem to think of an obese guy full of energy as odd, but I'm happy nevertheless), and hunger has not gone completely yet, but drastically reduced. IF is not hard at all and the benefits are quick to perceive!
That's amazing!! Wish you all the best of luck! You're doing great :)
Good Luck Bruno from France ! Your name seems to have French origins !
Bruno LeCathare Way to go Bruno, I am very happy for you. You got this. And remember if you should falter, don't worry about it, just get back on track and keep moving forward😀
My wife was diagnosed 5 weeks ago with T2D. Went keto with cruciferous veggies along with intermittent fasting, ACV and walks after meals. Zero sugars and carbs, besides the veggies.. Her blood sugar went from 300 to cruising around 90-120. I've lost 15 lbs and she's lost 12 lbs. Aches and pains are gone, tremendous mental clarity (she's doing math in her head, never could before!), tons of energy, skin is clear, ankles aren't swollen and waking up bright-eyed. Thank you doctor for the easily understood science and am excited for check up in December! This works!

Dr you just saved my life! I was killing myself and had no idea I was. I'm 32 been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2007 amd never was explained exactly what it was. I was just put on pills that I hated taking. In February my right quadriceps tendon broke my kneecap in half while I was just WALKING and my quadriceps muscle on my left knee tore completely off. I didnt do anything for that to happen. My muscles ache, my left big toe is stiff and my right middle finger is bent. I contemplated suicide because I was suffering so much pain and my body was falling apart. To add insult to injury I have a hemmorage in my left eye, found out my vitamin d level was 8 (dangerously low) and I was hospitalized for having low potassium. I felt like I was dying. While recovering from my knee surgeries I started researching on how to fix myself since my doctors are baffled on my condition and came across your videos. I started implementing what you suggest along with water fasting once a week and my fasting sugars are now under 120, my finger is straightening out, my big toe can bend now, my eye sight is improving and I feel sooooo good! All I can do is cry, Happy tears, because I have a 4 and a 5 year old and was thinking I may not live to see them graduate high school. Thank you so much for your videos! You are beyond awesome! God bless you ❤
Cece TheSagi Fantastic testimonial. God bless you and family.
Wow. Do you have documentation of all this?? Amazing stuff. Please make a video of your experiences. I have been a health nut all my life, training with weights since age 15 (subbed for yoga for a few years, now back to weights) but I was getting FAT! I couldn't stand it. I ate "healthy" was contemplating adding more and more exercise (at 47 yrs old, was daunting), then tried IF and shed 25lbs. I also was getting prostatitis and was fearful it could turn into prostate cancer. I truly believe IF alleviated the condition. Thought my story was great until reading this from you. Again, please make a video, I believe there are many people that are pre-diabetic, and have no idea.
the healthcare industry just treats the symptoms and people are dying.
Happy for u girl
That is awesome. I hope you continue to get better and better!
True, because the drugs that they are giving you create other health problems that they can give you other drugs for. It's just job security for Big Pharma. The rat Bastards. Listen to the Drug commercials, after they rush through telling you all the side effects, you may be better off with your original problem. Sad
Cant believe NO ONE ever bothered to teach this cascade of health facts in nursing school! .Cant help but wonder how many doctors don't understand the importance this makes to our health

Major Tom I legit just snorted! Thank you!
I watched this video about 4 years ago, I took action (keto and intermittent fasting) I lost weight, felt great...then I slowly drifted back to carbs and gained all the weight back. I've been struggling to get back up and make it a lifestyle change but I keep failing. So I came back to this video to get the science fixed in my mind and get my mind back to my initial why. I am changing my set point and maintain it this time around.
2024 UPDATE.
I failed to stick to keto again, but I finally figured out a better way to lose weight and keep off.
I now do 16:8 to 18:6 IF and eat a bit of carbs for lunch. I have lost 12kg in about 8 months. I don't feel deprived or Hungry, no cravings, no suffering. If I am hungry in the morning I eat a small low carb meal.
all the best in your journey
@@papimami7995 thank you.
You know what to do
That’s cuz it isn’t realistic to cut off a whole food group and you will not be able to maintain it forever. We are going to eat a slice of cake or a cookie once in a while. That’s why I just count calories and try to eat healthy foods but I will eat a cookie or a pizza or ice cream when I want to. It’s impossible for me to say I will cut those foods off forever. Otherwise I will end up binging. I just count my calories. Nothing too restrictive.
@@nadiab7764 I totally agree with you and I have come to the conclusion of July eating healthy, taking longer walks, sleeping better and implement a 16:8 intermittent fasting because I can stick with it long term.

There's a reason every single religion on the planet teaches something akin to karma, also known as the Law of Sowing and Reaping. It's because that's how God made this world to work. Whatever you 'sow' into the lives of others, you will 'reap' in your own. You can either send things out that will come back to bless you or bite you in the backside. It's your choice.
OMG!!!! Love this! So true.
Yay congrats! Very happy for you!
Hello Dr. Berg.
I know this video is older, but I have been watching EVERYTHING I can on IR to repair my digestive system etc. After looking at your percentage list..I realized that what I thought was a "healthy " first meal of the day IS NOT!
Nonfat, unsweetened organic yogurt with organic mixed berries. Fairly high percentage
on the list..I have been intermittent fasting for 2 weeks and not losing any weight ( aiming for 17 lbs) so
I have decided to change my first meal around noon to eggs
with cheese and vegetables and sometimes 🥓 bacon.
I am not a big meat eater but I do miss my rice toast and pasta. Sp for awhile anyway I am beginning this new plan to see if my setpoint will break.
I will keep in touch. Thank you ❤
Thank you Dr Berg, you have changed how I view food. 8 weeks into intermittent fasting, I’ve broken through 8 pounds down, one meal a day (high fat) high fiber , zero cravings, and plenty of good supplements.
Bet
One meal a day and just one pound per week??? Doesnt seem like its doing much for such extreme calorie deficit.
1 pound a week is bad lol
I thought that too, but kudos for losing wait
I was diagnosed with T2D when I was 47, 6"4', and 270 pds. I changed up my diet and lifestyle in the same ways you have. In fact, I lost 12 pds the first month and continued to do that until I balanced at around 205. I also walked, and I also found that mental clarity. Well, now I'm 51 years old, and I've been in diabetic remission for a solid year and a half. I run and weight train daily. I'm now more athletic than ever before in my life. For my 50th birthday month, I ran 300 km in a Canadian January winter. Ill also note I was never a runner before in my life.. It all spawned from the power of a proper way of living.
- words to inspire you and your wife's journey of new health. 🙌
Keep it up! Life is beautiful.
Fix your diet before getting into higher intensity exercise. You can’t fix a bad diet with exercise. Walk before your first meal, and last meal of the day. The weight literally falls off once your body starts fixing insulin resistance. Cut out processed sugars grains and crappy oils. I am 53 and haven’t felt this good in 25 years Joint pain is gone. A1c is now perfect. I was on cusp of getting the prediabetes dx. Dr. Berg may not be a fitness guru, but I respect his knowledge of nutrition and insulin.
Also follow Thomas DeLauer, Dr Jason Fung, Low Carb DownUnder, for a complete picture.
Rockhead Gary great advice and UA-cam channels
The mall walkers are 50 yrs to 80 and they are healthy and strong
I always read that walking after your meals was important. why do you recommend walking before meals?
@@08daviep same question! Before or after? And is 20-30 push ups 30min after meals too intense? I guess not? I do push ups for bloodsugar control
@@contrarian717 do them before the meal and take just a walk after the meal
Dr. Berg out here saving lives. May God continue to bless and keep you!
The first time I tried Keto I failed because I didn't understand what it was about or how it was connected to my personal health concerns. But after discovering you doing a video about PCOS, I delved further into your videos and found your Keto videos. Since watching you, I now have the knowledge and understanding of what is going on inside of me and why things are the way they are. Not only that, but now I can start to actually fix and heal myself. I have zero doubt in my mind that this time I can actually do this. Thank you so much for giving your time to help others through your videos and knowledge. You're saving lives. I plan on reporting back here once the change is noticeable. Thank you so much Dr. Berg!!! ❤️
I'm watching this, eating a sugary cereal at midnight, and he says, "that's why we don't snack at night." I have failed before I've started lol
Start tomorrow and you’ve not failed (:>!
We are all failing before we start. Thank goodness we get this fantastic access to information. Good luck with your new nutrition plan :)

Lol.. good job Joe
This is the main reason why I chose this diet because I became diabetic. I am so thankful for this diet. I have now lost 65 lbs and feel great!
Dr. Berg's advice has helped me lose 70 lbs over the last 4 months. My HBa1c has gone from 9.6 to 5.2 and my blood pressure has gone from 140/95 to 110/78 as of yesterday. Thank you Dr. Berg, not only for all the help, but for giving me back bacon!

I see why youre not on TV and all over the magazine cover and newspaper articles, because there is too much truth. I've been following you for awhile and also reading and watching other doctors/nutritionists who do their research and back up the same information and you pretty much just put a lot of really great points in a short video. Excellent.

This video was a major eye-opener for me. I have a fatty liver, I dont drink alcohol, and losing weight has been very hard for me. It's scary to think that I have insulin resistance, but I'm grateful that you provided steps to reverse it. Thank you!
Thank you Dr Berg - This is by far the BEST EVER video i have seen for weight loss. I never feel hungry in the morning and my personal trainer INSISTED that no matter what you got to have breakfast.and also suggested snaking so 5/6 meals! often i was forcing myself to eating. I am now focusing on just 3 meals and i feel much better. THANK YOU SIR.
Jayendra Lakhani I was in the same situation. It was hell. I ended up gaining 36kls. I was accused of lying about what I was eating. Sheeesh
Jayendra Lakhani What the Doctor needs to know and understand that the only way to speed up the metabolism is by building more muscle mass by eating high protein+ low carb and lifting weights, muscle is living tissue and the cells are constantly feeding and consuming calories to stay alive, that is why bodybuilders can eat up to 5,000 calories a day and keep a low body fat, It's as simple as that, muscle eats the fat.
Is the body having a low set point? How long has the person dieted? Are there fatty liver issues? Is the person insulin resistant? What about gender or age? Estrogen levels? The doctor is saying that there are cellular issues needing to be addressed, along with food combinations in order for the fat to be burned. If it was that simple and bodybuilding was effective for all, then there would be lean people all over the world.
The issues are more complex and a person needs to find out what works for them. Giving general blanket advice like this is harmful to people who are insulin resistant with metabolic syndrome issues needing to be addressed.
Yes but if you've got high sugar make sure you don't have low thyroid to fix that also please
Dr. Berg you are a master teacher. You can break down the stuff so well that anybody can understand it!! Chapeau.

World champion strong men eat 5k to 15k daily... Thats super human. This guy is talking about every day ppl
You hit the nail on the head when you said it's very unnatural to lose weight. The body just doesn't want to make big changes to itself. I think we all know this on some level. Thank you for another wonderful presentation.
I managed to gain quite a bit pretty easily, tho. Lol. After eating whatever I wanted for 30 years. And gaining next to nothing
Thank you for speaking and articulating so that the average person can truly understand what is happening with their body. You just connected the dots and made it all make sense.
This explains why I always was able to lose weight on 2 well thought out meals a day with exercise, when everyone told me I was starving myself and that I wouldn't be able to lose anything, and would retain weight instead. I only knew what my body actually responded to so I didn't listen to them. I cut out bread and sugar. It works.
I started keto this week and feel way better less fatigue and no more bloated feeling after meals.
Renaissance Man Same here☺️
Renaissance Man just make sure you eat your veggies to protect your liver!
Ok . ..so you startet keto 6 month ago . ...and how is it going now??? Did you succeed ? ? ?
How's it going? Can we have an update? I'm really interested.
@@_JohnDoe I've been on a ketogenic diet for the past month and on day 28 I had lost 12 lbs. Start weight 162. I'm 5' 5" tall and just turned 57yo. I have been challenged with cancer for almost 15 years. Besides dealing with pain and getting tired easily (chemo does that), one of my main issues is "eating". I was on a feeding tube and then my nutrition was "Boost Plus Calories". I'm sick of all that so have been experimenting with foods and liquefying them. Eg. Mashed potatoes laden with gravy to get it all down. I can boil pasta double time and mash it enough to get it down but add liquid, eg... VH Garlic sauce.... Next thing I knew I was a painful blob sitting in a corner doing nothing with my life. If I went to a 3 hour family function it fried me for 2 days. Just travelling from here to there beat me up. So enough is enough is enough already and I needed to take control of my life and with friends living the ketogenic life style I turned to them and the internet. I've done my homework for the most part. I am eating no more than 20 carbs a day... high fat and watching my protein intake. I do use a macro counter but I don't keep a journal. I want to try to keep it really simple but I also want to be sure. My ONLY concern is, am I taking in enough calories!!! I know that calorie intake is not as important as the "quality" of what I am ingesting and digesting but with that said, my calorie intake are still extremely low in my opinion. I just don't know and cannot find anything on the internet. My "Carb Manager" program suggest I have no more than 1,012 calories a day and then my macros are based on that but I'm only consuming anywhere between 300-700 calories. Is this OK???!!! I don't know yet. So I do 12 hour intermittent fasting all the time. I have "my" POWER COFFEE around 4am (Bullet Proof coffee that I add a home made mixture of particular spices to). I drink 2 about an hour apart... sometimes 3. I drink close to a gallon of water daily. Two or 3 times a day I have a big glass of water and add apple cider vinegar, Himalayan salt and a splash of lemon juice. If you don't like the taste of it just chuck it down and be done with it :-) A few times a week I will add some cayenne pepper to this water mix. I will have green tea in the afternoon and sometimes add ginger or my "spice mix". I've made my own bone broth and sip on that sometimes too - it freezes well in portions so it's quick & convenient too. Then I have my meal between 4-5pm. A meal example for me would be sockey salmon, (I'll have chicken/turkey/sardines/ham and occasionally beef), 2 fried eggs, maybe some cauliflower (I pretend it's mashed potatoes), and spinach. I love fish and spinach!!!! How do I liquefy all this for my individualized diet??? Well I take some bone broth and add the high fiber flax seed meal and it thickens it and I use that for gravy :-) I will also add some sour cream and/or a salsa sauce of sorts. I have nothing but water after my meal. I'm in bed between 8-10pm. All this to say I've NEVER felt better!!!!! That MCT oil (I call it coconut oil on steroids) gives me soooooooooo much energy that I've done my spring cleaning and it's just the beginning of Feb!!!!! I think my cleaning lady has just lost her job :-) I am so full of energy that I sometimes don't know what to do with myself. I don't exercise much but for small walks and I'll "dance" my way around the house. I do the odd squats... I will get into a small exercise routine but I'll never "work out"!! I still do get tired but then I'm a "wired-tired". I can cope with that for the most part. I've been on a kazillion different pain meds over the years without success but just this past fall I discovered an awesome pain remedy and it totally works and I'm so thrilled about that but it costs me min. $150.00 a month out of my pocket that I just can't afford but I will never go back to that pain so I just manage somehow. My specialist told me just this fall that my pain is directly related to my vast radiation and there is nothing they can do (like more surgury). WELL NOW....for the past week now, I have NOT taken this expensive pain med because I'm NOT feeling pain!!! Is it this diet??? Is it something that has naturally happened in my body??? I don't know!!!! I don't care.... I'm not only feeling soooooooooooo waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better with an energy level I haven't had in forever and no severe pain (it was on a scale of 1-10, a continuous flare of 14).... many days were spent in bed!!! Not anymore!! Whooooooooooo hoooooooooooooooo!!!!! I do not have a weight goal. I will know when I feel good about my weight.... I'm thinking around 120lbs or so. I am doing this for a ketogenic life style and the weight loss is just a bonus. With my circumstance as they are I do have to work at ensuring I am getting all the good nutrition I need... potassium, magnesium etc.... so this continues to be a work in progress. I will NOT go out and pay for all these advertised Keto this or Keto that. My friends never had to plus I've heard and read too many stories about them. Like I said, I want to keep it simple and carefree.... low carb & high fat with a proper ratio of protein. Oh and I've fasted once for 48 hours at the beginning of this diet. Today I am choosing to have a "liquid" day. I can't call it a fast because I'm having my POWER COFFEE and that breaks any fast. So that's my story and how I'm working things and so far it's all working for me. My only QUESTION is..... IS say, 500 calories a day OK as long as your macros are in balance??? I'm feeling GREAT after a month with lots of energy and drinking plenty of water and trying to keep up on proper/good nutrition. I REALLY wish I could find something on this. They say eat when you are hungry and I do and they say stop when you are full.... but to get more calories in, by the time I'm done my meal I'm stuffed. I don't want to eat 2-3 meals a day because every time you put something in your mouth it spikes your insulin and I don't want that either. Besides, I'm just not hungry. I'm coming off a 100% Boost diet so I'm used to not "eating". I also have no cravings because I haven't been able to eat chips and cupcakes, donuts etc for years so certainly not an issue. I wish everyone else a great journey on their Keto diet/life style. I sure would love to hear your story an how you are all doing with it and if anyone can help me out with suggestions/ideas and answer my "calorie" issue I'd be very grateful. Cheers all. Joanne
I am getting educated here. A professional sincerely sharing his knowledge with us.
Hi there
I like it when you said don't eat if u r not hubgry coz it remembers me of a hadith of our prophet mohamed that says : we are a people who doesn't eat until we feel hungry and if we eat we don't eat until fulfilled ❤
My set point for the last 36 years has been 152 pounds, this was the weight I reached during pregnancy. I have always felt very comfortable with it but always knew that I was overweight. Believe me I have tried every diet in the world and it always crept back to 152. Thank you Dr. Eric for now I am in control and I will achieve my ideal weight of 125. So far I have lost 15 pounds in four weeks and I have never ever felt better. I am already fasting😊. And believe it or not since I work in the travel industry I don’t have to travel with snacks or drinks or a freaking candy bar in my purse anymore I can go around the world and not eat for a while. For me that is a blessing and no stress while working. What a huge relief. And, those two guys I had that caused my set point: are on Keto also.
itzme drwho I so relate to you
Hehwjewgwh
I have had the same experience with my weight after being pregnant. I can’t wit to finally lose the weight and be healthier!
And now . ..how is it going ?
If I weighed 152 lbs I would be shouting and praising God so loud people would think I ve lost it
Minus the diabetes, he just explained my whole life in 1 video! Thank you 🙌🏽☺️🙌🏽 Dr. Berg for President 2020! 🇺🇸
Yo I gotta say. I’ve watched your videos for two years and have NEVER gotten keto/IF 100% right. But I always keep watching and learning information. And the whole time, even though I was never doing keto/IF PERFECTLY, I still lost weight. Just because I switched my mindset from EXERCISE/COUNT CALORIES to *just watch your blood sugar*
That was all it took. Just a lil education. Nothing perfect.
I'm 5'8" 230lbs which is definitely fatboy status. Dr told me I had a fatty liver and needed to change asap. Aside from that I have high bp...the list goes on. I'm not 2 weeks in and been eating cleaner and no sugar. I will try to incorporate his strategy by eating 2-3 meals with NO snacking for the next week. In 2 weeks I have lost roughly 10lbs and already feeling more stable energy. Great video...wish me luck!
All the best
How’s the progress going?
Good luck , but brutal discipline will help you win not luck bro, once yer a fat burner you'll feel like a new man , I'm fat too, but way less than I was , the fasting and new set point works I proved it over the winter
Oh how hard to stop sugar. Monkfruit, stevia helps, erythrytol bad for heart.
I am from India. I have been suffering with high insulin levels since 2003. Visited a no. of doctors but my problem remained unsolved till date. I am always hungry, weak, no energy for anything. I am a living corpse. Thx a lot doctor for giving a solution to my chronic problem. I thank you and bless you.
How is it going?
God bless you sir. I pray for your healing.
His advice on eating when hungry is so true, people don't realize how long they can go without going hungry, in some parts of words people fast from dawn to dusk (normally 13 hours) and usually don't feel hungry until the last hour. also eating on a schedule is partly responsible for gas and shorten breath and drowsiness. the idea is not to eat when you are starving, just until you are almost about to go hungry. Besides all food taste good when you are hungry.
I don't agree with that since you can induce that artificially by habit. If you will organize your meals (no matter how many) in the same way for few days, your brain will register that frequency and will "warn" you that he's hungry around those specific hours. Try it and you will see.
If you take the supplement thrive which is a stimulant you'll stop wanting to eat in the middle of the day that also works for many
Dr Berg should teach everything: math, sciences, literature, philosophy. I'd learn even better.

True
Dr Berg is sticking to his profession
Isn’t that the truth! He had no arrogance, judgement, monotone. He actually looks at you. I can’t stand an instructor who acts likes your not in the room.
its not fact its a life saver,people who dont have these problems yet,will eventually start to listen
His delivery is so smooth and easy to understand I wish I knew about him a lot longer
This is where I would tell anybody to go to get good advice cuz you can understand him
It’s so easy to listen to him. Gaining so much knowledge. Priceless!
Just as an FYI, Im European and the EU don't allow many of the chemicals that the US allows in their food e.g there are additives in your mcDonalds fries that arent in ours (even tho its the same company), plus u guys put extra hormones in ur beef (not allowed in the UK), plus u chlorinate your chicken, also not allowed here. you guys have no idea how many extra weird chemicals ur all eating just cos ur government allow it.
I have to agree, when I stop by a market(I will not name) I read a label for chicken breast and when I read, NOT used with Clorinated water, I couldn't believe it!! The reason I switched and tried this market, because I notice chicken just didnt taste the same in other stores that had the NAME brand poultry. I tasted a huge difference, and I will never go back to that name brand chicken.
Not true there are many chemicals in meat and other foods in the UK.
Chicken for example is injected with a lot.
And there is no a lot of vegetables available as well as fish and seafood.
But there is a huge amount of frozen food.
I not only gotten sick but put weight on.After moving here, and i was eating the same as i did before i moved here from The Netherlands.
Our government is trying to kill us off
I heard they use chlorine dioxide on the chicken. Chlorine dioxide is very healthy...google it !! Otherwise I think all tthe chemicals will make you want to stop eating just thinking about 'em !!
You are exactly right! It should be a crime what is happening to our food. We are getting poisoned everyday!
You look better now than when this video was recorded. I think what you're doing with keto and intermittent fasting is working!!
I found doctor Eric Berg's channel last week and it has greatly changed my life .. I now know almost everything on dieting, bloating, intermittent fasting, fat burning foods and exercises, insulin and many others. I subscribed a lot and am so happy because i now know the dos and don't of my body. Thanks so much
Could you please help me lose weight with your knowledge and tips please?
It is rare to see somebody talk about the set point. Good video
This all makes so much sense. Once again, the government are the last ones we should be listening to. "Low fat" diets have made us fat. Pushing whole grains has increased our gluten intake, so more diabetes and more fat people (including me). It kind-of pisses me off. Watch some videos by Thomas DeLauer too. He has some really good videos on intermittent fasting. I'm going to start doing this.
Good luck! You can do this!
Dr. Jason Fung also.
Neil McCumber totally pisses me off. Grrrr
The government doesn't care what you eat though, it's more like the private hospitals that does that.
Dr. Eric Berg DC why don't you tell people that too much or too little thyroid also affects blood sugar
Resistance training is how you “fix” a slow metabolism. Btw your metabolism isn’t “broken” in the first place. It’s called adaptation and your body burns calories at a rate that your body needs. Low percentage muscle mass = slower metabolism, higher percentage muscle mass = fast metabolism.
Yeppers
Not exactly. Please read the Secret Life of Fat. Library has it. Your mentality causes extreme bias for larger people. It's not that simple. Fat people hike and do all kinds of stuff. I walk most people under the table, easy. 5+ miles a day. You can still be fat and exercise.
If you are or were heavier, it's not the same as of you never were fat.
Even dogs. Have you ever seen a fat greyhound? I have others that you have to watch their food very carefully.

STEVEOK no
Load up and avocados in hours that's good fat
since I start watching your videos, I have lost 10 kilos but in 2 months from 70 to 60 kilos, I gained back 3 kilos this lockdown ... thanks Dr Berg for doing this videos it helps us a lot.
I have actually lost 35 kg 6 years ago, and I'm still maintaining my weight, if i gain 2 or 3 extra kilos, i fast for like a week and get rid of them. I'm used now to eat only once a day around 4 PM, and that's it.
Doing the same I feel 4pm works great not to long and I do not feel starved. OMAD is magical.
Can I just ask, do you not feel weak by eating just once a day? And can you maintain normal weight by that and not keep losing weight until it becomes unhealthy?
@@AnnaK-qw2qf it only takes a couple days to get used to a one meal a day. You’re training your brain. For me, I’ll drink water or tea in the morning or late morning and just keep busy once you are used to it you don’t really think to eat cause of what time it is. I prefer to eat dinner so I’ve gotten used to just drinking water or tea at work and planning a nice meal for dinner.
@@AnnaK-qw2qf By studying Dr Berg's videos n low blood sugar, one can avoid feeling weak. Also if one has enough electrolytes, especially potassium, around 4.7g combined with enough magnesium, calcium, trace minerals, it really helps to increase one's fasting periods. My normal fasting time is around 23hrs now. But I have even more benefits. If I want to stop loosing weight, I do resistence exercises to muscle up. That strenghten my bones.

I've been doing intermittent fasting for the past 10 days and went from 61kg to 57.1kg so almost 4kg lost in 10 days ( almost 9 lbs). I skip breakfast, don't snack and eat 2 meals a day. This definitely works. I don't exercise at all. I eat fairly normal meals: scrambled eggs, a burger with veg, chicken curry, soup etc. All homemade though. I even had a little bit of bread with butter and some dark chocolate (a few little chunks, not the whole bar). If I was stricter with my meals I could have lost even more, but I'm fine doing it that way as it turned out I have a problem with my thyroid so I need to sort it out too. I'm constantly cold and tired.
How much weight did you end up losing finally? The first few kilos are always eater weight.
I feel like I found the jackpot to all my problems...... THANK U SO MUCH DR BERG
Me too LOL
I Really like the way you try to bring health to others, people you don't even know ! this is a very good fact for a dr or human! I always pray God to bless you in every thing you do in life!
I have learned so much from your video's. I struggled for years with weight loss, dieting and I did not understand "what" I was suppose to do. So many things that I thought I was doing right was working against me. Now I am following your suggestions and I feel SO good, I am loosing weight and exactly what you say came true "I am not hungry or suffering from cravings that would steal my self esteem" I thank you so much for all your work you have put into these videos and products-Dr Berg You have saved my life. Sincerely, 59 year old grandmother of 8, regaining my life back.
Hi there
Very helpful Dr. Berg! I’ve started intermittent fasting and I am like you. I must have breakfast then a good lunch and I’m done for the day. It has been working out just fine. In the past, my hardest times were evenings because that’s when I’d make all the wrong decisions with food choices and late night snacking. No more of that!!

In my view this video is the best Dr. Berg ever put out. I used to be a banana girl (4 cases of 40# a week). Now I see why I did not do that well on that diet even though I was getting very high potassium. I was spiking my insulin to 84% and becoming pre-diabetic! Now on keto I do much, much better, with a consistently high energy level and good sleep. As an added bonus the color is coming back to my cheeks too. At 74 I consider this a new lease on life.
Oh my gosh! I ate a looooot of bananas tooo
Where are you getting your potassium from after you stopped eating bananas? I have potassium deficit. But whenever i eat banana or potato which has high potassium level, my stomach gets bloated and i can feel that it is not getting digested well. I usually want to throw up but i get lot of muscle cramps and i do need that potassiums. Can you give me advice on what you changed in your diet so that you still get potassiums? Thank you.
Tsendee Ts Jola !
To the rescue !
Potassium is a mineral and minerals come from the ground. Green leafy vegetables are high in potassium. Please check dr Bergs video on Potassium, he explains very well there !
Have ACV 2-3 times a day . Sounds like you are lacking hydrochloric acid / stomach acid hence you can’t digest food properly. In addition consume sauerkraut pickes in brine olives kambucha tea to increase stomach acids. Do not take calcium carbonate. It lowers stomach acid !
Drink water with sea salt.
Good luck

Dont eat bananas and potatoes.
I used to eat atleast 2 bananas a day 😭😭
Your videos are the most valuable on UA-cam, you have a tremendous ability to make complicated stuff so easy, but the best part is your honesty, you’re sharing your knowledge for free, unlike many doctors who use their knowledge to make money, no wonder so many people subscribe, thank you fir caring 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
💞
It’s been two years since I have been following you, thank you Dr.Berg…you are a real doctor that many wana be dr. Should learn from and I am sure they are.
By watching your videos I feel like I am sitting in a medical school auditorium and getting top ok the line training and education! God bless you for this ! 🙏
Thanks bebe, you want my body really, 😋💋
Dr. Berg, this is the most important video. I am 50 yrs old and lost 30 # listening to you. Thank you so much, Shawnna

You’re Awesome Dr. Berg!!! Thank you... Thank you thank you!... I’m 38 and I’ve been a little over weight for like 5 years but I don’t get hungry in the morning and people always in a way force me to eat because apparently it’s the most important meal of the day. So Thank you!.. I won’t eat until I’m hungry, period!..
bruno very proud of you. im starting my journey today. All these fads on diets got old and didnt work, i had to stop and look at myself and not be like everyone else. I had to start loving myself first and not worry about what society says. Society tells us how we should look and feel--- no way!!!! There are reasons why we all are different and look different. People are overweight because of issues we dont know about- i could be heredity etc... Same as those that are underweight. So when society puts these pictures in our minds that we need to look like this to be accepted, its a bunch of crap. Learning to love yourself is not easy believe me i know, but once u start to like the little pieces of you and surround yourself with likeminded people it becomes easier. I didnt know half of my problem until Dr. Berg made it easy to understand. Thats what was missing- someone taking the time to really make it simple and easy to enjoy the lecture- instead of crammimg it down.. Its gonna be a journey but im with each and everyone of you who are struggling... WE GOT THIS!!!!!!!
Very interesting, I used to be slim until I had gestational diabetes in my last pregnancy and the Dr prescribed insulins and since that time is no way I can loose weight no matter how much I tried. They told me I am pre diabetic and fasting will make me diabetic, but listening to you it make totally sense. Thanks i will definitely try this.
Dropped 4 pounds in two weeks of intermediate fasting and I’m eating close to 2,000 calories a day!!!!
Dr Berg says all the right things, IF is so powerful, it works perfectly for me. Dr Berg gives the best advice. Thank you Dr Berg you are the best
Oh my gosh. You have opened my eyes. I have been so disappointed and disillusioned in why I can't lose weight. Thank you, Dr. Berg.
Summary starting at 20:23
This video explains it all... I have a problem losing belly fat. I work out 3 or 4 times a week (strength+cardio). But I don't lose any weight..or I should say 'belly size' (because I'm gaining muscle, so my weight does go up because of that). Now I know why.... I eat 7 times a day (small amounts) because I want to gain muscle, so I need a lot protein... I only eat the foods (most of them) on the right side of your table with the percentages...(so...the ones that spike the insulin the most). So I'm spiking my insulin all day long - both with the number of meals AND with the kind of food I eat... And I'm not even mentioning the protein shakes I'm drinking... The doctor told me last time that I have to be careful because my sugar levels were too high. And I was like..what? I hardly eat any sugar... Your video explains it all. So I'm going to start by reducing the number of meals to 3 (which will be hard because I will be hungry) and also limit the protein shakes (1 or 2 after workout). Tnx for the info!
Mario L. increase your fat intake and you won't feel hungry. Try Burst training, Tabata training or HIIT training after your resistance training for your belly fat. should melt away

The solution is the exact contrary. Watch Dr. McDougall and Dr. Doug Graham. Fruits and Veg, Bananas and Potatoes. NO added fat. NO added protein. The weight will fall off like crazy. The diabetes will disapper - as will heart disease etc. Sadly this video is total BS. The science today says the exact contrary to this. Read up. No scientific proof for healthiness or long term weight loss on a FATTY diet whatsoever.
Hahahaha! Good luck!
Best Family Lately I haven't had much time to do cardio. When I do have time, I try to apply HIIT training on the bike or treadmill. I must say that the fat is also a result of a hormone problem. Since last year, I don't produce any testosterone anymore, not without 'help' (injections). So my testosterone level plays a big role. A blood test last september showed that my Test was at 3.16 nmol/L, while someone my age should have between 8.64 and 29.00... So, the lack of Test fucks everything up. Now I'm back at 19.00 but if I don't get any injection (Sustanon) regularly, it will quickly go down again.
God bless you and your family doctor. Your videos are so informative. Thanks so much.
I am so happy to have discovered you. I am pre diabetic and I really eat healthy but I struggle with my weight and everything that you are explaining it truly makes so much sense. I will definitely follow your recommendations plus I will add Apple cider vinegar before meals. And lately I’ve been skipping breakfast and I only have two meals but I was snacking in between with non fat Greek yogurt with berries and that really raises my insulin so I am stopping that. Thank you again for this valuable information.
And how is your progress going, update please
Wow I've always wondered how my grandmother and her sisters managed to live over 100years old on coconut, palm and palm kernel oils, leafy green sauces and basic fermented African foods...She always had soft boiled duck eggs...Her youngest sister died at the age of 110 with good eyesight, no diapers and was mobile...We nicknamed her 'The Fossil'...Most Ghanaian carb dishes are highly fermented; stinky and sour but yummy...lol
MSE. Dzirasa Wow! how inspirational. you must feel so special, I would for sure!
sunshine42 Thanks and yes, but I must take better care of myself living in the States, or I would lose the longevity genes. I'm happy I discovered Dr. Berg; he's taught me a lot about how to eat for health...
I do not know much, but have been watching ketogenic videos like a mad ! and from what you just shared, and what I have learned so far, that sounds like a perfect diet!!!! you mentioned duck eggs, (free range of course! not corn fed) fabulous super food! and fermented foods, perfect, so good for the body and digestion etc. And coconut oil, amazing... for avoiding diabetes etc, and I believe good for the brain! And leafy greens, and I bet organic...I am guessing not much or any sugar? processed foods! or wheat?
Ok I am MOVING to Africa now....
No wonder she lived too a 110~ ! I bet she was walking in her 8 month of life as well! I read about that too, African babies walking then, (there motor skills are more developed from breast feeding and the mother carrying them all the time on the hip or back). I tried that with my daughter, she never sat in a stroller (or car seat) and was walking in her 9 month and is still a brainiac and going to medical school in the next couple of years
MSE. Dzirasa
wow...thx for that information
I want to visit GHANA
do you have a Facebook page
Thank you so much, Dr. Berg! You really helped me understand what happens in our bodies with insulin (resistance). So grateful to you for all the amazing education you give us. God bless you 🙏❤️
I'm praying for you, blessed man. Thank you for blessing us.

After watching this I had been doing this without knowing this for the last 7 years and felt I had broken my routine all apart especially during covid. I used to have BLD 5 years ago and for the last 5 years for some reason reduced to LD without knowing. I never had or felt any snacking ever in my life between meals. The only extra thing I had is consume beer that has zero carbs at dinner time. Thanks for fixing my mind now.
@Vasanth gutta: Can you please let me know what BLD and LD is?
Thanks dr berg for the help and information you have provided. I’ve been intermittent fasting for a month now and lost 10kg. I eat high protein vegetables everyday and no carbs and sugars. And water no other type of drinks. I can’t exercise because of my back so I am relying on this diet. My mind is more positive and I’m finding more control in what I eat. I get hungry a lot even after foods but I’m hoping this comes down as I continue. I’ve lived a very unhealthy lifestyle and I’m 6,1 and was weighing 105kg now at 95kg. Only problem is though it’s more fat then muscle as I’ve been out of work for 4 years now due to slipped disks and sciatica but I am going to do this and be healthy for once in my life. As soon as I get injections in my back I will then be able to exercise 👌
Thank you so much for giving us this information in a clear, concise manner. I think al lot of people just give up as they age because we follow the “rules” and our weight keeps going up and our bodies start breaking down. I don’t know which is more concerning, doctors not knowing this stuff or knowing it and not passing it on.
Finally!! I don't have to feel guilty for not feeling hungry in the morning. Thanks great info!
LISA RICH Lol. People seem desperate to feel guilty over all kinds of things nowadays tho 😂😂
LISA RICH imnot either andit scares me because im told to eat alotbin the day and not at night
Your first meal the day should be breakfast to get good fats you need butter olive oil or olives or avocado
I love the way you explain things Dr. Berg. Very informative and in exactly the right tone for us to hear you. I am so grateful for your video’s. You helped me lose 30 pounds! And I’ve learned to not diet. Just eat the right things and eat at the right times! Thank you!
Your videos have been amazing, I've been doing IF for months and first lost weight but then gained it all back, I realized how the food I were eating weren't working with my body and now I'm starting the lose weight again!
What did you change. I have lost once with IF but now not anymore i have been doing IF for 2 yeara
@@sidakpreetvirk581 see what kind of diet worked for you, keto worked for me and with IF it helped a ton, I eventually did platue for keto, and cut certain foods out of my diet and went back to a regular diet, with IF I've kept most the weight off
I just watched the video on how to fix a broken metabolism and I found it VERY helpful. I learned ALOT that I really needed to know and just want to say: "Thank You Dr. Berg".
I just started to follow you as well as begin the keto on steroids eating plan and will continue on my weight loss journey with your help.
was anyone else glad that peanut butter is in the first column
AHAHAH I thought about that too!! Although it's best to buy quality one...of course...:))
@@babacool81 hehe. theres some low carb peanut butter thats only around 1.2g sugar per spoon. only problem is it tricks me into thinking eating half the jar is okay!
bacon
@@Black12Phoenix right on!
When I was a child, my brother and I used to eat 'diggy' - just spoonfuls of peanut butter dug straight from the jar. I still love diggy.
Wish you were my personal doctor. So much CARE in your teaching
