Saw this video one and a half year ago when I was 285 pounds and an alcoholic. Quit the drinking and started following this diet and man I’m 178 pounds and sober. Thank you Dr. Berg
I lost almost 18 in last 45 days after starting keto diet after seeing ur vedio...i m doing 48 and 72 hours of fasting...my questions is..can i do more than 72 hours of fasting ...you told that we need to do 72 hours of fasting once in a month...but i m doing 72 hours of fasting twice in a week that mean 72 hours of fasting 8 times in a month ..is any problem with it...can i continue like this or not..i m feeling just hungery not week...n i can go for more than 72 hours...is it safe or not please reply
Wrong?? keto is just another way of eating foods, you can still eat right doing non keto like some other thing like being a vegetarian or something. Unless you're talking like eating a pizza and junk food but we all knew we were eating wrong but didn't care enough if that was the case.
@@drlubnatabassumsiddiqui3083 I wouldn't go more then 72 hours, and only once a month. Why? Because your body is gonna run out of certain minerals and other nutrients, you don't wanna go extreme. You might feel all high and good but don't exaggerate , take it easy on your body. Keto with intermittent fasting ( only 2 or even 1 consistent meal a day ) and once a month 72 hours fast is ENOUGH.
@@cfjlkfsjf if vegetarian is done right INCLUDING organic eggs, A2 raw milk , and good quality Ghee, without processed food like bread and other nonsense and only 3 to 2 meals a day WITHOUT snacks in between it might be very good. But for me Keto still does it better then other diets I tried. (Vegetarian, Vegan, Carnivore ) O keto I feel best and is much more balanced.
IDestroyCommies I train every day and run uphill like a maniac every other day, always fasted. I fast 19 hrs every day anyways and never train after my first meal. So you are wrong bud. P.s I had tonnes of energy, even into my third day.
Tangible Desires i made a big deal about it by planning a week ahead, that helped me stick to the plan. Every six hrs or so I would take a pinch of sea salt, I bet that would solve your headache problem. When you hit your third day you won't care about food at all, It's very weird.
Very detailed and informative. I’m 51 and have been doing Keto for 5 months plus IF 20/4 for over a month. I feel great. No cravings!!! When I eat my body and mind only care for nutrient dense whole foods. I haven’t made or required any Keto treats, like fat bombs. My mind is so clear and focus. And because I’m only eating once a day (5-9pm) all the extra time is a great bonus 👍 Thanks for your dedication, I won’t have reach this amazing healthy state without your guidance.
What’s funny is that whoever I talk to about fasting and my omad journey they say what am I doing... I’m destructing my body and it’s no way to live that way. The truth is... I love food but after one month of omad I notice that I’m not even hungry so why are we really eating? because that’s what the society tells us?
Most people starve every few hours. They have not seen how a nutrients rich diet and supplements can completely decrease hunger. So their reaction is to be expected. I only speak about this to people who are really curious and who can observe visible facts.
The reasons we eat [on the Standard American Diet] are neurological. It has way more to do with how foods/eating are marketed and the amount of hidden sugar in them. The motive for [Big Food] companies is higher profits and has nothing to do with nutrition. Dr. Berg is leading a movement of conscious intelligent eating and living that gives us our freedom through health-centered choices, rather than greed-driven habits.
Don't listen to everyone. Listen to most of the people about subjects you can see where they are living the life you want to live. Too many losers out there. I fast 5 days in a row a month for well over a year and very very few people understand or agree with this. Can't fix stupid. I feel like I'm getting younger and younger...
Oh Dr Berg, thank you once again for addressing more fasting questions. I'm HAPPILY on 2.5 days of fasting and loving how I feel that I could easily fast for another 48 hours. There is an extraordinary difference in my energy and how my body feels when I don't eat compared to when I do eat. I drink water, green tea, lemon juice and in the morning I have 1 cup of coffee + 1 teaspoon each of MCT oil and organic coconut oil with my supplements in the morning. I literally do not feel hunger pains all day and night long which pleases me because then I know ketosis is surging through my ever shrinking body!!! Thank you so much for all that you do Eric.
I know he is awesome ...I'm new to fasting, and today is my 3rd day without having any food, and I feel great; what supliment do you take in the morning?
Dr. Berg, Where do i start. From finding you online and following you for over 2 years now, i have learned so much. Keto saved my life and from my weight loss i found my stage 3 DCIS in my left breast. 8-8-18 was the big surgery, double mastectomy and DIEP . Im still trying to deal with the chemo side effects and a new belly and breast. But throughout the healing process i am still lazy keto and have found i eat less and it keep my bloating down. ( so uncomfortable after a tummy tuck) Your spot on with systematic changes and effects. My caffine consumption was killing my feet with neuropathy and cutting it completely out has subsided that pain also. I follow you faithfully cause you care, your genuine and you KNOW the body anatomy. I have learned to listen to you and my body and one day at a time im still living a fullfilled life.. I love you whole heartedly and i thank you for all you do for us. The struggle of the body can be a real fight. Thanks for caring!❤🤗
How about a Mama who’s watching while breastfeeding?!?!? Could you address how fasting works for nursing Moms, is it safe? Does it affect breast milk? Thank You

This is so helpful, I was afraid of ruining my fast with my tea/monkfruit/cream, but just having it helps me fast longer, happy to hear it's actually okay 😊 Thank for all the information!
Hi Dr Berg. Been watching your stuff for over a year, and I have lost 110 pounds on Keto in a little over a year. (Down from 290 lbs). I'll be 68 years old in a few days. I'm very close to my target weight and have decided to just hang out at 180 lbs for a while. I was knocked in the dirt back in March of this year with lung disease, and have been on Oxygen and stuck at home for four months, unable to move around very much. The final diagnoses is Pulmonary Fibrosis. I was evaluated for a lung transplant, but not getting one because of other compilations. So, to stay at my current weight, I''m still eating Keto, but have increased my carb intake to between 30 and 50 carbs/day, and keeping the moderate protein and high fat numbers going. I do IF everyday, and only eat 2x a day. I have one bulletproof coffee every morning, and sometimes a cup of black coffee after. My ketone levels have been between .5 and .7. I do have a low carb beer or two everyday and sometimes a bourbon on the rocks. My weight has been steady at 180 lbs for 4 months, (except when I first got real sick back in March, I got down to 160 lbs after getting out of the hospital. The 20 lbs came back on after I got home.). So, my question is, am I on track for staying in healthy Ketosis and staying away from the SAD diet. If I decide to lose another 10 or 15 lbs, it would be a small diet change to get back into weight losing mode. (Cut carbs to
Super!! Really needed this. I was able to pull off a 40 hour fast. I drank your Wheatgrass and electrolytes. I also had 2 glasses of acv with lemon and I felt great!!
12 hours into my planned 72 - hours fast. It's been okay so far. Kind of worried and afraid I will quit midway. Need motivation and strength from those who have tried this stuff earlier. I've been planning on doing this for months.
I did one fast for 14 days and did another for 5 days. 72 hours is a walk in the park you can do it. I only found after 4 days my energy was extremely low because my body is taking its sweet time to adapt to fat for fuel. That could take up to 6 or 8 weeks.
Dr. Bergs info is helping my edema find a new home. After I'm healthy then I'll do keto. Much of a blessing after I better understood IF and eating 1x day♡. Living w/o meds is my goal!!!🎉 (not currently prescribed just prediabetic out of the blue & not having it)
Thank you. I sometimes consume homemade bone beef broth but only one cup with a dash of marine salt and 1 or 2 tbsp of ACV.. in the morning. It has worked great in me.
Thank you Dr. Berg. I was doing my fast all wrong and this really helped clear the reasons about why my fasts are failing. My goal is to lose weight and this will be a big step towards a much more successful fast. Thanks again.
Day 3 of OMAD for me. I started at 115 lbs I’m down to 112, though I’m sure most of it is water weight. However, I’m not doing this for the number to go down; I want to be a healthier person and be more in control of what I eat and when. My stomach bloating has gone down (no noticable fat loss yet though, of course) and I feel SO energetic!!! Thank you Dr. Eric!
Dr. Berg, I have a question: I usually adopt the 20/4 intermittent fasting schedule, and I would like to know that if you boil green vegetables, does drinking the water used for the boil break your fast? As far as I know, many of the nutrients from those vegetables remain in the water so I usually drink during the 4-hour feeding period. But I would still prefer to spread out drinking that water throughout the day. Keep up the good work! I commend you on the quality of the content of your channel.
Thank you Dr. Berg for helping us to understand these things! I used to fast just about everyday and maybe even for several days. I felt fine. BUT my Drs convinced me that was not healthy. I started gaining weight. My Dr told me not to worry about it. I got up to about 245. Now it is not easy to fast, but I am trying to do it anyway. No, I no longer weigh 245.
Thanks for the details video! Glad you hit on the difference between ketosis and fat loss. A very important point and the reason supplementation can be effective in most cases.
You are absolutely brilliant Dr. Berg. Thank you for all that you are contributing to our well being. I hope that you are receiving as much success for your wisdom and efforts as we are from your knowledge. Cheers to you!
Thank you Dr Berg! I’ve been Keto and OMAD for 6 mos. Lost 50lbs (including the COVID 20 I gained!). I’m 42 hrs into my first ever long fast and feel great! Now, should I, tomorrow morning/afternoon eat a hard boiled egg to break my fast?
This was great, really useful as well as informative. Following Keto for a while, have started IM and currently working towards a 20/4 eating pattern before attempting a longer fast. Not as difficult as first thought. Thanks Dr. Berg.
So, I am in the learning process now, at the same time of getting results already. I am taking it easy and taking it slow, but seriously. This seems very lifesaving, lifeimproving. Thanks for sharing.
Every time I watch these videos I get tons of information. Who knew lemon juice had carbs. I am on 72 hour fast. This is my second one this month. I have lost three pounds. I am struggling from a slow metabolism.
Thank you so much for your lectures that are so easy to understand and assimilate! The information you are giving us, Dr. Berg, is of extreme value, because it is not only educating people, but it’s also saving lives!!! God Bless you and your family!!!
@@Drberg i was put on RIFAMPIN for Latent ( non TB ). I am doing ketovore/carnivore/ omad for the past 6 months, and i finaly reverse T2D and lost 57 lbs. But i am afraid that if i start taking RIFAMPIN that will kill my healthy liver and my kidneys😢😢😢.

13:55 what is the group of amino acids that turn into 99% body tissue? Whats the ratio? Do you have to buy a certain protein powder that has the exact ratio?
It's called MAP (Master Amino Profile) : a perfect ratio of the 8 essential amino acids, copied on the mother milk’s ratio of protein. According to someone on bodybuilding forums (but I can't verify if it's accurate), it contains approx 2g leucine, 1.6g valine, 1.5g isoleucine, 1,4g lysine, 1.3g phenylalanine, .7g methionine, and .4g tryptophan per 10 tabs. The only problem is this formulation is expensive as hell! (honestly you'd rather just be eating more eggs and get your "99% absorption" this way !)
I buy MAP proteins (8EAP/Eight Amino Acids made from pea protein) for 60€ per Kilogram and fill it in capsules for easy eating. 20 gram of it is equvalent to 150 gram whey powder, but they have nearly 0 carb or calories. This amount is even sufficient for body builders during fasting days, as you will never add more than 10 grams of muscle mass per day. (and 10 grams of muscle mass contains only 2 grams of protein).
@@johannesherbst3632 how can 20g = 150g whey protein if good whey protein is nearly 100% complete protein?? Sounds like fake science or advertising?? Thanks
Thanks Dr.Berg! Your videos are so thorough and easy to understand. It all makes sense. Quick question, any thoughts or video on honey, yogurt, good and not so good fruits/ vegetables 🙏🏻
Doctor. I have two questions: 1) how long does our body need to be in fastest state to produce ketones? 2) In fastest state, are we able to consume pure celery juice? Since research says celery is negative calorie food? You're amazing 🙌🏻
Great stuff as always Dr. Been on the Ketosis diet now for almost 5 full months and have lost 50 lbs. Changed the way I look at my body and food in general. Thank you for your great tips and keep the info coming!
Brilliant list. No Aspertame in our house for over 10 years, thank goodness. It's in over 10,000 products though, including certain meds. Remember they wear Hazmat suits in the Aspertame factory. Always read your labels, buyer beware. Thanks for sharing this important information with us all, & take care to. ❤🙂🐶
When expecting our 2nd child, she got extra sick. No food intake as held down. I asked” what have you been doing for your stomach?” Oh, just these little Trident mints”. Hmm ok lets read the label. Aspartame! If that stuff isnt ok during pregnancy, why would it be considered ok otherwise?
Nobody cares what will break the fast if you can after that fast long enough. You can eat 2 lbs of fruits and then don’t eat anything for a day or two to go back to ketosis. Fruits are proven to prevent many cancers and promote pancreas job. Not eating fruits is stupid.
I love watching your videos. You present the information thorough and keep it simple at the same time. I fast a lot, have for years. I thank you for your videos.
Coffee also has potassium. Before I understood why my blood pressure was through the roof (potassium deficiency) I couldn't figure out why I felt better after drinking a cup of coffee. Then I read the label. Thank you for all the information!!
Thank you so much! With so many “Popular “ ‘keto’ information out there miss information is sweeping the world. If one is fighting a disease , we must be certain why we are fasting or eating and how it affects insulin. Thank you again. 🌸
Only thing I drink now during my 22 hour fast every day is water with a slice of lemon in it. The slice lasts all day and I feel less hungry than I did when I was still taking black coffee and I'm drinking more water which is definitely better. Separate issue, would like to know if different fat types affect cholesterol differently?
So I am still wondering if the are any studies yet that determines if xct oil and possibly butter stops autophagy which is regulated by MTOR a protein sensor
@@Drberg I heard dr Jason fung say" theoretically might be able to do a fat fast and still be in autophagy " let me know when you know! Thanks dr Berg!
Dr Berg, I've been racking my brain over what's going to raise insulin, what's not. You've answered the majority of my questions in this one video. However, one last question I do have is, is chicken bouillon ok to drink without being kicked out of ketosis? Thank you so much for sharing all of your wisdom. I have benefited from all of your information.
Dr. Eric Berg DC , will you really able to use the fat solvable vitamins while g, I was always taught, they need to be taken with some fat, I suppose if we are burning our own fat...
Donna Bane The ones I have all are in some sort of fat (olive, coconut, or mct oil) for absorption. It's such a small amount of nutrients; I don't think it'll need much more, if any, additional fat to be fully used by the body.
ColoradoFLgrl , mine too, but my functional dr told me to take D3 (and k2) with a fat. So I never know what to do with vit D, because I want it in the am. I take my fish/krill/or cod liver oil with dinner, to avoid fishy burp taste, and evening primrose oil after dinner, because I think it helps hormones then, and well, the name.
@Donna Bane if I take my vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 in the evening it keeps me awake. A small amount of olive oil would work but honestly I think you can also just take them in the morning.
Maltodextrin is in freaking taco bell and rotisserie chicken in super markets. It's insane just looking at ingredients how much info you can gather from it..
If I were to have a flat white coffee made on unsweetened almond milk who much would this effect fasting and weight loss? Thank you for all of your information Dr Berg.
Hey Dr. Berg, Thank you for your great videos. What are some brands of the amino acids you mentioned that are anabolic and can be taken around workouts?
oh wow! this explains so much! i been fasting majorly the past few days, like 20hours, but also been having KETO coffee in the am. im betting this will change!
Im almost 24 hour into my fast now. And will continue till i get aeound 32hour and have a lightnar, workout and slowly break my fast post workout. I am aiming to eat 4k calories when i feed tomorrow. Ive been training for 10 years and have all the latest fad diet to the old school bodybuilding diet. Never seen so much gains now after almost 11 years.
Saw this video one and a half year ago when I was 285 pounds and an alcoholic. Quit the drinking and started following this diet and man I’m 178 pounds and sober. Thank you Dr. Berg

Dr. Berg is #1 influence in my life...he is brilliant I trust his reccomendations regarding diet and health 110%..
Day 3 of OMAD for me. I started at 115 lbs I’m down to 112, though I’m sure most of it is water weight. However, I’m not doing this for the number to go down; I want to be a healthier person and be more in control of what I eat and when.
My stomach bloating has gone down (no noticable fat loss yet though, of course) and I feel SO energetic!!! Thank you Dr. Eric!
Good overview video! 👍
Dr. Berg, I have a question:
I usually adopt the 20/4 intermittent fasting schedule, and I would like to know that if you boil green vegetables, does drinking the water used for the boil break your fast?
As far as I know, many of the nutrients from those vegetables remain in the water so I usually drink during the 4-hour feeding period. But I would still prefer to spread out drinking that water throughout the day.
Keep up the good work! I commend you on the quality of the content of your channel.
Today, in a few hours, I will finish my 3 day fast
Me too! ❤🎉 and I feel great. Lost nearly 2 stone doing OMAD & keto 😀🇬🇧
Thank you Dr. Berg for helping us to understand these things! I used to fast just about everyday and maybe even for several days. I felt fine. BUT my Drs convinced me that was not healthy. I started gaining weight. My Dr told me not to worry about it. I got up to about 245. Now it is not easy to fast, but I am trying to do it anyway. No, I no longer weigh 245.
What about apple cider vinegar with lime salt and some ginger, will that break a fast?
My all time favorite doctor may God bless you abundantly you really helped me alot 🙏
Hello from Adana/Turkey
I've lost 60kg.
Thx for this Video
Good for you! There is nothing more beneficial to the human body than a clean keto way of life.
Wow
That’s awesome
Congratulations! I used to live at Incirlik Air Base! We loved Adana! I miss the food though!😂
60kg= 22 cats out of the tummy!! Congratulations!
Congratulations adana01 😉👍
Thanks for the details video! Glad you hit on the difference between ketosis and fat loss. A very important point and the reason supplementation can be effective in most cases.
I take MCT oil because I want to continue to lose fat not just weight.
Joseph Silva not all of them. Learn to differentiate
You are absolutely brilliant Dr. Berg. Thank you for all that you are contributing to our well being. I hope that you are receiving as much success for your wisdom and efforts as we are from your knowledge. Cheers to you!
I'm glad to help!
I have been looking for this information a long time, and you certainly shared quite a bit...thank you so much.
OMG! Aspartame did slow down my progress, your statement makes total sense. 🥺
Thank you Dr Berg! I’ve been Keto and OMAD for 6 mos. Lost 50lbs (including the COVID 20 I gained!). I’m 42 hrs into my first ever long fast and feel great! Now, should I, tomorrow morning/afternoon eat a hard boiled egg to break my fast?
Okay. I see you Dr Berg--> this was clear and appreciated.
Thank you for answering about the supplements and vitamins! Literally could not find a straight answer anywhere
This was great, really useful as well as informative. Following Keto for a while, have started IM and currently working towards a 20/4 eating pattern before attempting a longer fast. Not as difficult as first thought. Thanks Dr. Berg.
This is a top 5 doc berg video for sure.
Fascinating, Dr Berg is such an informative and thorough educator!
As I’ve grown to expect from you Dr. - crystal clear and very useful. A thousand thanks ❤️
Fantastic summary!!! Thanks for this...super helpful! Dr Berg...you are my Keto Guru!!!
Just SUPERBLY thought out and presented. This video helped clarify quite a number of topics for me. THANK YOU!
Very informative. Thank you for clarification of various items listed in regards to ketosis and fat burning.
So, I am in the learning process now, at the same time of getting results already.
I am taking it easy and taking it slow, but seriously. This seems very lifesaving, lifeimproving.
Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic information! You covered everything that I have had questions about and it’s much appreciated
Excellent talk :-) The video really clarified some things for me :-) Thanks
Thank you for the break down. This was really need so much.
This answered a lot of my questions. Thanks Dr. Berg!
You're very welcome!
Every time I watch these videos I get tons of information. Who knew lemon juice had carbs. I am on 72 hour fast. This is my second one this month. I have lost three pounds. I am struggling from a slow metabolism.
Thank you so much for your lectures that are so easy to understand and assimilate! The information you are giving us, Dr. Berg, is of extreme value, because it is not only educating people, but it’s also saving lives!!!
God Bless you and your family!!!
Very glad to be of help.
@@Drberg i was put on RIFAMPIN for Latent ( non TB ). I am doing ketovore/carnivore/ omad for the past 6 months, and i finaly reverse T2D and lost 57 lbs. But i am afraid that if i start taking RIFAMPIN that will kill my healthy liver and my kidneys😢😢😢. Is that ok to keep eating healthy high fats, and not damage my organs that i work do hard to get them healthier?.. thank you sir, i appreciate you sir💪🧠💪🧠💪
Awesome! Love these longer videos 👍🏼 Thanks Dr Berg for helping us loyal subscribers 🤪
Have a fantastic day my friend ✌🏼😎👍🏼
Wow, you read my mind. I was wondering real hard if my collagen peptides would be worth it or not while fasting. Big Thanks!
Thanks Dr. Berg. A very useful video. It cleared many things for me. Your knowledge and commitment are exemplary.
This is great! This video is now my gold standard for what does what when fasting-this one makes the most sense
13:55 what is the group of amino acids that turn into 99% body tissue? Whats the ratio? Do you have to buy a certain protein powder that has the exact ratio?
It's called MAP (Master Amino Profile) : a perfect ratio of the 8 essential amino acids, copied on the mother milk’s ratio of protein.
According to someone on bodybuilding forums (but I can't verify if it's accurate), it contains approx 2g leucine, 1.6g valine, 1.5g isoleucine, 1,4g lysine, 1.3g phenylalanine, .7g methionine, and .4g tryptophan per 10 tabs.
The only problem is this formulation is expensive as hell! (honestly you'd rather just be eating more eggs and get your "99% absorption" this way !)
Only $28 I’m buying. Med insurance is much more
Berg makes a protein solution that’s awesome for that. Otherwise just have the best eggs you can get.
I buy MAP proteins (8EAP/Eight Amino Acids made from pea protein) for 60€ per Kilogram and fill it in capsules for easy eating. 20 gram of it is equvalent to 150 gram whey powder, but they have nearly 0 carb or calories. This amount is even sufficient for body builders during fasting days, as you will never add more than 10 grams of muscle mass per day. (and 10 grams of muscle mass contains only 2 grams of protein).
@@johannesherbst3632 how can 20g = 150g whey protein if good whey protein is nearly 100% complete protein?? Sounds like fake science or advertising?? Thanks
Thanks Dr.Berg! Your videos are so thorough and easy to understand. It all makes sense.
Quick question, any thoughts or video on honey, yogurt, good and not so good fruits/ vegetables 🙏🏻
Great topic 👌 Thanks Dr Berg 🌸🌿💖
Thank you! You answered my big question. I was not sure about green drings. Nobody talked about them. Ì took them in my feeding time.
Doctor. I have two questions:
1) how long does our body need to be in fastest state to produce ketones?
2) In fastest state, are we able to consume pure celery juice? Since research says celery is negative calorie food?
You're amazing 🙌🏻
Thank you for sharing!
What about aloe vera? I mix it up with squeezed lemon
Great stuff as always Dr. Been on the Ketosis diet now for almost 5 full months and have lost 50 lbs. Changed the way I look at my body and food in general. Thank you for your great tips and keep the info coming!
Brilliant list. No Aspertame in our house for over 10 years, thank goodness. It's in over 10,000 products though, including certain meds. Remember they wear Hazmat suits in the Aspertame factory. Always read your labels, buyer beware.
Thanks for sharing this important information with us all, & take care to. ❤🙂🐶
When expecting our 2nd child, she got extra sick. No food intake as held down. I asked” what have you been doing for your stomach?” Oh, just these little Trident mints”. Hmm ok lets read the label. Aspartame!
If that stuff isnt ok during pregnancy, why would it be considered ok otherwise?
@@stevencruise5516 it's not okay,,, ie industrial waste product,,,
I came across this video and loved the way,yu explain things with so much ease and clarity
Such a good video, so rich in info, thank you Dr Berg for caring about us, the masses
"Unless you are a baby whatching this video"
LOL
I know right!!!!! He's so funny
*brabbles while pulls out pacifier" I'm watching, da phuc!? I'm that one baby on keto - wheres my info - is momma knocking me out of keto??
JOSE HUMBERTO LOZADA ... 😂 exactly why I checked comments - so funny 😆
Nobody cares what will break the fast if you can after that fast long enough. You can eat 2 lbs of fruits and then don’t eat anything for a day or two to go back to ketosis. Fruits are proven to prevent many cancers and promote pancreas job. Not eating fruits is stupid.
😂😂😂
Exactly the video I was wanting! Thanks so much! I
I’m doing great. 🙏🤗
I love watching your videos. You present the information thorough and keep it simple at the same time. I fast a lot, have for years. I thank you for your videos.
Coffee also has potassium. Before I understood why my blood pressure was through the roof (potassium deficiency) I couldn't figure out why I felt better after drinking a cup of coffee. Then I read the label. Thank you for all the information!!
Thanks yet again Doc!...making it sooo easy for me to understand
Thank you so much! With so many “Popular “ ‘keto’ information out there miss information is sweeping the world. If one is fighting a disease , we must be certain why we are fasting or eating and how it affects insulin.
Thank you again. 🌸
Only thing I drink now during my 22 hour fast every day is water with a slice of lemon in it. The slice lasts all day and I feel less hungry than I did when I was still taking black coffee and I'm drinking more water which is definitely better.
Separate issue, would like to know if different fat types affect cholesterol differently?
So I am still wondering if the are any studies yet that determines if xct oil and possibly butter stops autophagy which is regulated by MTOR a protein sensor
Yes, I am waiting for those studies too
@@Drberg I heard dr Jason fung say" theoretically might be able to do a fat fast and still be in autophagy " let me know when you know! Thanks dr Berg!
Dr Berg, I've been racking my brain over what's going to raise insulin, what's not. You've answered the majority of my questions in this one video. However, one last question I do have is, is chicken bouillon ok to drink without being kicked out of ketosis? Thank you so much for sharing all of your wisdom. I have benefited from all of your information.
How about fat soluble vitamins like A D3 E? Cod Liver Oil? Do they break your fast?
Like I said - its a very minor blip in the scope of things
Dr. Eric Berg DC , will you really able to use the fat solvable vitamins while g, I was always taught, they need to be taken with some fat, I suppose if we are burning our own fat...
Donna Bane
The ones I have all are in some sort of fat (olive, coconut, or mct oil) for absorption. It's such a small amount of nutrients; I don't think it'll need much more, if any, additional fat to be fully used by the body.
ColoradoFLgrl , mine too, but my functional dr told me to take D3 (and k2) with a fat. So I never know what to do with vit D, because I want it in the am. I take my fish/krill/or cod liver oil with dinner, to avoid fishy burp taste, and evening primrose oil after dinner, because I think it helps hormones then, and well, the name.
@Donna Bane if I take my vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 in the evening it keeps me awake. A small amount of olive oil would work but honestly I think you can also just take them in the morning.
Interested what is beer yeast,because,it is on the market place here in Europe..It contains 47 mg dry inactivated brewer's yeast
Maltodextrin is in freaking taco bell and rotisserie chicken in super markets. It's insane just looking at ingredients how much info you can gather from it..
CAn you tell me about green smoothies please. Love the clear explanations, common sense hidden by years of misinformation. Thank you.
Great video, Dr Berg. Very helpful information that I will definitely use for my next fasting sessions. Have a great day, sir :)
Wow Dr Berg
Thank you so much for your time and hard work you put it on these videos
Thank you
Very glad to be of help.
Great job explaining in detail !
If I were to have a flat white coffee made on unsweetened almond milk who much would this effect fasting and weight loss?
Thank you for all of your information Dr Berg.
Thank you Dr B. This helps & I can actually see what I’m doing. Appreciate the break down. 💪🏾💛🤙🏾🔥🔥🔥
Perfect timing to get the expert response, as I had just posted this very question to the group.
Hey Dr. Berg, Thank you for your great videos. What are some brands of the amino acids you mentioned that are anabolic and can be taken around workouts?
What an incredible amount of knowledge, I'm in deep awe. And it helps greatly! THANK YOU Dr. Berg!
Dr.Berg
Please help me!
Does L-theanine will break the fast?
He said amios are fine
oh wow! this explains so much! i been fasting majorly the past few days, like 20hours, but also been having KETO coffee in the am. im betting this will change!
Im almost 24 hour into my fast now. And will continue till i get aeound 32hour and have a lightnar, workout and slowly break my fast post workout. I am aiming to eat 4k calories when i feed tomorrow. Ive been training for 10 years and have all the latest fad diet to the old school bodybuilding diet. Never seen so much gains now after almost 11 years.
