I've been on a ketogenic diet since 2013, with great results. However, only when I took dairy out of my diet did some hormonal issues that still persisted were completely resolved. Specifically, my hirsutism, which I had since my teens, was completely gone in 6 months of dairy free. If you're a woman and have issues with your hormones, consider taking dairy out of your ketogenic diet.
Gotta say, regardless of whether this guy is being sponsored by anyone he really makes perfect sense and the fact that he always highlights the importance of getting 'grass fed' based animal products just further detaches him from possibly being linked to either the general dairy or meat industries as a whole. Feel like I can trust him more than some of the other 'doctors' of youtube.
Down 27 pounds in less than 2 months. Lost a full shirt size, gained energy and confidence. Thank you Dr. Berg! Who knows how much more I’ll lose as a result of living a healthier lifestyle.
I Lost 20 lbs. & Kept it off. 2pm. I Eat Meat, Chicken or Fish & 1 Keto Dessert. 6pm. I Eat 1 Cup of Spinach, 1 Cup of Butternut Squash, 1 Avocado. 1 Oz. Pistachio’s On Side. (All Potassium) Sometimes I’ll have a Protein Bar or Protein Shake, 4pm. But Not Often. My Eating Window is Between 2pm. & 6 pm. Only. ITS WORTH IT.
@@mucha9196 did not keep it off but lost it again (plus more) with traditional dieting and exercise. Dr. Berg teaches you a lot about fasting, the value of ketosis, keeping your insulin spikes low, etc. but I did not find Keto suitable for long term. Still watch his videos frequently fly but Keto isn’t a fix-all, and it isn’t for everyone.
So what's new people are fooled into thinking that low fat is good, but when fat is removed so is the taste, so it has to be replaced with sugar, I never touch low fat, full fat or noting
My heart doctor was the first to tell me not to eat "lite" products because they were higher in carbs/sugar He said whole everything but in moderation is best.
I’m lactose-intolerant, and for years I’ve been making my own yogurt from New Zealand grass-fed whole milk powder (no additives), let it ferment for at least 24hr, and I have no issues consuming it. It’s quite sour, but I like it.
5 ounces (150 grams) of plain Greek yogurt provides 6 grams of carbs and 11 grams of protein. That amount of cottage cheese provides 5 grams of carbs and 18 grams of protein (43, 44). Both yogurt and cottage cheese have been shown to help decrease appetite and promote feelings of fullness. I have 75grs yogurt or kefir daily with added fiber to slow down the sugar consumption that by the other side is very slow in dairies.
I'm not on Keto but I have cut right down on sugar and increased fat. My weight has slowly reduced and I feel good. Thanks Dr Berg. I have learnt a lot.
I will agree with you if you talk about lactose free milk . But kefir and yogurt are different cuz tha bacteria already feeded on that sugar . So there supposed to be 0 sugars
Not only does it not decrease, but the sugar content increases, significantly. Since the lactose (which is a combination of glucose and galactose) is broken down, you're left with its building blocks, which is sugar. Before keto, I used to always buy lactose-free milk since it was easier on the stomach, until I realized that it had quite a bit more sugar than regular whole milk.
Thank you for the science on this. I just wanted to know about plain Greek yogurt 2% and up as well as plain unsweetened soy milk which I use in coffee as almond milk taste horrible in it but is good for cereals
The lactose free one still have sugar, because they don't suck the lactose out of it, but they add the enzyme that decompose the lactose into glucose and glactose which are still other types of sugar
The yogurt types seem to be so different than what we have in the Middle East (the levant in particular). Most of them have bacteria and have undergone some fermentation and are not sweet at all.
Those are high in probiotics too... as long as a cup doesn't exceed 8 grams of sugar and you only have one cup, I think you'll be fine. I love the sour taste of plain yogurt!
@@zang9147 Same here, in the last 10-15 years Aldi, Metro, Kaufland (German chain stores) are very successfully killing off the traditional markets. Bulgarians are VERY attached to yogurt though, so everyone carries the real deal. But I am afraid big agra etc. are not playing around.
When I eliminated dairy from my diet, I experienced profound improvements in my skin! Taking out the dairy, in addition to consuming the high quality fats inherent in a keto diet, has yielded me the absolute best complexion of my life. I also noticed digestive benefits. So I avoid dairy.
Avocados, coconut oil, sardines, cod liver oil, extra virgin olive oil, grass fed beef liver, wild sockeye salmon, egg yolks...to name a few. These are all staples in my diet.
I love how Dr. Berg looks at you when he talks about most yoghurt and pauses when he mentions the sugar content and as though he's going to be disappointed in you in case you say you want it. Lol so cute!
Dr. Berg the reason why some lactose free dairy products still have same amount of sugar is because these products r added with a chemical that breaks down lactose into other forms of sugar(galactose and glucose generally); smthng which lactose intolerant pple can't do, however the sugar remains in the dairy product. "Lactose free" Should not be confused with removing lactose from the food.
@blargin1234 I went on to a Keto group, and the young people under 35, want to if it o.k. to drink soft drinks, like coke. what's your opinion. I drink water, or tea.
It's gross but bodybuilders will drink diet/zero sugar sodas. But regular is a big no-no. Tons of sugar and no fiber not good for any diet, especially keto
I recently discovered labne, this appears to be Lebanese kefir cheese. The whole milk blend with sour cream has zero sugar and only 1 gram of carb. This is ideal for keto since it has a high fat content and it is creamy delicious. Also, this is a good source of probiotics with active live cultures. It tastes like Greek yogurt but much thicker and not as sour. My local Armenian grocery store sells this at $2.29 for a 1 pound container here in Los Angeles.
well actually i eat that very product, and a pint of the stuff does have 16 grams of net carbs in it....which btw is not a lot, plus it is really healthy with its probiotics plus it tastes so very satisfying
Quitting dairy was the best thing I ever did - constipation is no more, my skin has cleared up so much and I now look ten years younger than I actually am, according to friends and family:) Bloating has gone, my tummy is completely flat (as opposed to the perfect round ball shape it was before!) Camel milk is the best thing I have ever consumed, and sometimes drink goats milk, oat milk, almond or coconut milk. Fortunately there are many alternatives to cows milk:) Dairy was also problematic for me due to allergies, skin issues and asthma-type symptoms. Best wishes to everyone and thank you Dr Berg for sharing your knowledge. It is much needed.
Land O Lakes heavy whipping cream has 0 carbs, 0 sugars. There's also Greenwise (Publix grocery store in South) that is grass fed, organic heavy whipping cream that has zero carbs, sugars that's great for coffee
*It's helpful to know which dairy products are keto-friendly and their potential impact on the diet. Thanks for providing insights and tips for incorporating dairy into a keto lifestyle* 😊
🤦🤦🤦why are people still so confused??? He doesn't have to go through every single last dairy item for you to understand this logic. If it's high in sugar it's bad for keto. Point Blank Period!!!🙄
Re: "I don't understand how there's 11g of sugar in lactose free yogurt." Lactose free usually doesn't mean the lactose is taken out. It means it has added lactase, which splits the lactose into galactose and glucose. So, the sugar is still there, just in a different form.
I love your videos !I did keto diet in jJnuary in 2017. I am 36 ,male 5'10'' tall at the time I was 205 lbs and went down to 170 lbs in 4 months ( I don't go to the gym) . During that 4 month period I have had homemade yogurt every day for breakfast and sometimes before bed .(as a matter of fact I still eat yogurt every day )I have been making yogurt at home for over one year now and because I love keto and I love yogurt I had to come up with a solution to increase the fats in it and also lower the carbs . What I do is for every gallon of whole milk I add 1 quart of heavy whipping cream. I let it ferment (after all the heating and then cooling and adding live culture ) in my oven in a blanket over night 10 hours sometimes 12 hours ( when ready u can strain it or as u go scoop the whey out ,or do what i do once ready and before refrigeration i put few peices of paper towels on top to absorb the whey )
That's why I stopped eating things in a box almost 40 years ago. 1 ingredient food - you know what you're getting especially if it's organic, is the only way to know what we put in our body. I do cheat once in awhile with keto friendly dessert - cuz....
What used to shock me in France is how much they give kids the frigging sweetened yogurt (the Danone brand) out of the belief it's "healthy". Same with the absurd craze of low fat "fruit" yoghurt so many, adults and children alike, were having as a "dessert".
For the Lactose-free thing. I was wondering about the sugar content in the lactose free milk recently. Found out, lactose free doesn't mean lactose is removed from the milk but it is broken down into monosacharides galactose and glucose by adding lactase enzyme into the milk. So the lactose-free milk tastes sweeter and is higher in glycemic Index too. So lactose-free products are even worse for the keto diet in general.
I understand that lactose intolerance only came about because the industry plays about with milk so much. The chemicals used to take fat out, lactose out, add vitamins etc, etc... has caused a change in the quality of our drinking milk in the supermarkets.
Great video. I’ve lost 45 pounds since July 1, 2018 until now (10/14/18). I have at least 1 of the following cheeses daily, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, pepper jack cheese, parm cheese and mozzarella cheese. Thanks for the confirmation
🇨🇦 Yes I eat plain full fat (9%-10% fat) Mediterranean, Greek or Icelandic yogurt which contains only cream, whole milk and active bacteria cultures. Carbs are excellent 🇨🇦
Not so fast Dr. Berg! There are many different kinds of yogurt, and I've found a few I like to use. Chobani whole milk plain Greek yogurt- 9g fat, 16g protein, 7g carbs, 6g sugar. Two Good vanilla lowfat greek yogurt- 2g fat, 13g protein, 4g carbs, 2g sugar. Friendly Farms protein fat free Greek yogurt- 0g fat, 13g protein, 5g sugar. Note that he is basing off one cup, the serving size here is 3/4. I always load mine up with nuts, seeds, and berries, whatever I got. I used to eat regular yogurt, but ive gotten used to the sour and thicker stuff!
get full fat cream better than half & half. especially if you drink two or more cups of coffee, the bad half adds pretty quickly. or even better, get used to drink bulletproof coffee. do you drink coffee only with half&half or add sugar too?
I read the ingredients on a gallon of milk at the grocery store. In fact I read the ingredients on skim, 1%, 2% and whole milk, and was shocked to see that they actually ADD sugar to milk for flavor. No matter which fat content you choose, they are still adding in sugar. I haven't purchased any dairy except heavy cream ever since. Heavy cream has NO sugar added. Now I only drink unsweetened plain almond milk, and to be honest, I find it much more refreshing than real milk. After just a few weeks I started preferring the flavor of almond milk, and actually start craving it. I loves me some almond milk now.
He omitted two extremely healthy dairy products with no added sugar and lots of benefits: *Greek yogurt, plain, full fat.* I use it as a dressing for salads. I either use Greek yogurt and add avocado to the salad, or use olive oil as dressing and no avocado in the salad. *Plain white yogurt, full fat.* Not that good on its own, but I eat it with chopped peaches, strawberries or blueberries. It's just like the ones that come with the fruit on top, only that with way less sugar and no preservatives. Edit: and gorgonzola and brie..
I believe in another of his videos he mentioned chopping up raspberry or strawberry and using in yogurt or something! Just a few, as in 3 I think. Berries are low carb
Hello Dr. Berg, I have just seen your video. I'm a professor of food science, please be informed the plain yoghurt has not more than 2.5% lactose. That is because of the lactic acid bacteria of the starter ferment most of milk lactose as exactly what happens in hard cheese. If you even keep yoghurt for few days you can get almost 1% lactose as the bacteria keeps fermenting it.
I have been following a mostly (90%) ketogenic diet for about 2 weeks. I also followed your advice about really only eating 2 meals a day…. 12pm & 6pm. I feel a lot lighter and others have noticed too which is a plus. I find it difficult to cut back on iced coffee but everything else like donuts, breads, muffins, bagels, cookies etc I’ve had no problem cutting from my diet. I don’t really care if I don’t ever go into “full ketosis” as I mainly am in this for the weight loss.
I would say I am lactose sensitive BUT I found raw milk and raw kefir to not have the same affect. I would encourage you to look at all the health benefits of raw milk plus it tastes delicious !
I eat whole milk plain yogurt (Cabot) that has 4g of sugar, with no added sugar. You should always avoid any low fat products since sugar is usually added.
@@Drberg sorry to ask what did you mean by half and half in the cofee? Half of what and half of what?EDIT Oh my god i just found out its a product of its own named half and half
Dr. Berg, Redwood Hills makes a plain, goat yogurt which has 0 sugar. I add walnuts or pecans & a small amount of honey 🍯 for sweetness. So, yes one can find 0 sugar plain goat yogurt.
I’m Turkish, just compared the carb amount to our regular yogurt. Yogurt here has 7 gr of carb per 100 gr. (Fruit yogurts is not a thing here) . And full fat milk has 4,7 gr of carbs.
I thought I had a lactose problem a while back, so I bought lactose free milk. I learned that it's not actually lactose free, they just add the enzyme you need to digest it. This might explain why the sugar is still there! Another thing I noticed that was super weird (this is not quite on topic), was that alot of dairy free cheese had milk listed as an allergen/ingredient.
The Greek yogurt mentioned may be "Greek style", proper fully strained traditional Greek has about 4-6 grams of sugar per 100ml serving. Also pretty high in protein and calcium and great for the stomach bacteria.
Dear Dr. Berg, love your videos. May I just say that it's not "kEEfer" as pronounced but "kefEEr" with the accent on the second vowel "i", which is pronounced as "ee". Please, take it from someone who grew up drinking "kefEEr" since childhood as it's a very popular drink in the Caucuses, the Balkans and Eastern Europe. Thank you for all your work.
Glad someone said it.. Every time he said "Kiefer" my mind added "...Sutherland" IMHO if you are going to adopt words from another language you could at least be respectful enough to get the pronunciation in the right ballpark.
Checking the sugars or carbs is the key. :-) My current yoghurt is 3g carb/sugar (total) per 100g serving. It is "Fage" brand -- a plain, full fat, greek style, "set" yoghurt. Maybe not an everyday food, but very helpful and handy when travelling or camping. I add a little fibre like ground flax, cocoa nibs if I want crunch, or powdered psyllium husk and can mix in MCT oil, too.
I was actually shocked when he said most people eat processed cheese. I haven't eaten that stuff in years. You can get real cheese in slices. No need to eat fake cheese.
@@tegoblue you can buy real cheese slices that is all natural cheese. Swiss, cheddar, havarti, etc. In Canada, processed cheese has to be labeled as processed. I buy Swiss cheese slices all the time that are all natural cheese.
Yes, that is the part Dr. Berg didn’t factor. The carbs in yogurt are pre-fermented values, and don’t factor the reduction from the Bacteria. Hence why whole milk plain yogurt has the same amount of carbs as whole milk does on the label. The same also goes for Kefir. We make our own Kefir and yogurt. And it has kept us in ketosis! Making yogurt out of half-and-half is the best! We use whole milk for the Kefir.
I love how you get so exuberant on telling the audience about what not to eat! You're funny ☺. I've been dieting since November 3, 2020. Two weeks ago I started to eliminate carbs on a very low threshold. November 3, 2020, 192... April, 2, 2021, 175. On the Keto plan, April 20, 2021, through April 26, 2021, I lost three significant pounds. In summary, since April 2, 2021, at 175, I'm down to 169. Today is April 27, 2021. I'm not at all starving. I was starving before by lowering fat, and thinking carbs were key. Carbs are not key, so now just flipped it. It's working for me.
Fage Greek Plain Yogurt has 5g of natural sugar/carbs, mix in vanilla extract and allulose for a great keto snack. I eat it and do fine on Keto. Fairlife milk (cows milk) has 6 g of carbs/natural sugar per cup. I mix it with almond milk or water to reduce the carbs even more, or just use half a cup in keto cereals (Magic Spoon cereal does not throw me out of ketosis at all.) It's the only keto cereal I've found that I like and doesn't affect me.
How about home made kefir? Does it have the same amount of sugar? I ferment milk using kefir 'grains' and we drink it plain and fresh. Nothing added. I thought most of the lactose will be consumed by the SCOBY.
Yes please, I would also like an answer regarding homemade milk kefir. I ferment it twice - with the grains for 24hrs and without grains for 8 to 10hrs both at room temp. It is very sour and thick. Separates into curds and whey. There cannot be any sugar left! But sources conflict in carb count. Please clarify.
I also make kefir at home with grains using full cream unhomogenized milk. And drink in good amount.. Still in keto,, rashes on my both arms and back.. lol Wanna know Dr. Berg's opinion..
manhoostube I also had this rash when I started keto before kefir..it will pass but, is not fun when you have it..I think it is a histamine reaction???
Marlene Jackson I also ferment 2x..24 on counter with grains and 24 in refig with grains..I am maintaining my weight perfectly..we drink it plain usually...Love it and never felt better with the combo of keto and kefir..
Dr. Berg, you are speaking my language! I always thought it was all the cheese I ate (I always say that cheese is my favourite food group) that was causing the excess weight. Now I know that the crackers or pizza crust I ate it with were the real culprits even if made with whole wheat.
If Dr Berg looked at regular greek yoghurt he would have seen that similar to the higher sugar in low fat milk, for greek yoghurt it's the same. The regular greek yoghurt I get is 10g net carbs for every 250g. 250g would be a massive bowl of yoghurt, a serving is usually half that, so a usual serving of 125g of the greek yoghurt I eat gives you 9.5g fat, 4.7g net carbs, 5g protein. I throw some double cream in there and add hemp seeds and almond nuts. Add some stevia sweetener to take the bitterness out and you have a pretty nice snack!
Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us, Dr Berg! I was in a very bad way due to the foods I was consuming, and I will be making a huge effort to reverse the damage I did to myself.
The lactose free is still high in sugar because it still contains lactose but it is broken down to glucose and galactose by adding an enzyme, lactase, to the yogourt
Ok I felt the need to comment on this. I have studied nutrition, have some medical background and have been on a healthy keto and intermittent fasting regimen for nearly 2 years with success. That been said i agree with everything said in this video except one thing. Yogurt. There are yogurts that i include in my keto diet for very specific reasons. Oikos Vanilla Triple zero and Icelandic are my two goto yogurts. Yes they have a small amount of sugar and small amount of carbs but it is very very low and compared to the fact the ingredients are natural and the sugar is fructose from lemon juice combined with the probiotic cultures in it as well as the benefits of the other nutrients i find it to be a welcome addition to a Healthy Keto diet. Good gut biome is essential to absorbing the needed nutrients to be able to maintain the keto regimen. It will break a fast and shift you out of ketosis but you just include it during your meal time and count it to you carb count as well as have it occasionally and not every day. I comsume these yogurts once or twice a week during meal time and on recovery days after a significant fast.
Keto needs to be renamed “ KantDo”. I’m going to miss all the foods I loved but I’m committed to this new ketogenic diet to help reduce my fatty liver 😁
As always, informative, straight to the point, and very down to earth. 😄Adding to the compilation of Dr. Berg quotes: "so if you were forced to consume some type of yogurt or kefer".."so if you were at gun point..." 🤣
I would love it if you do a test on how much actual sugar remains in a batch of home made organic whole milk kefir. I have seen videos that claim that the sugar remaining is extremely minimal
Dr Berg, lactose is a disaccharide composed by glucose and galactose that the bacteria of kefir transform into lactic acid. However, there are bacteria that synthesize polysaccharides called kefirane and kefirose that are composed by lactose and glucose but that being extremely long chains, cannot be attacked easily by the enzymes present in the kefir. These polysaccharides are the ones giving the viscosity to the kefir and have plenty of advantages for who drinks kefir and they are counted as carbohydrates.
everyone came for the whole milk looks like the doctor doesn't know whole milk exists, which is the only one which is milk. imagine baby goat wanting milk from its mom, and mom asks the baby which one do you want: 2% or 1/2 and 1/2 or cream the baby would answer I asked for milk, not manmade nonsense
I think one has to be sensitive to what their body needs. Meaning being able to tell the difference between an addictive cycle vs the body telling you you really need this. Milk is one of those things I always wanted and enjoyed early on, prior to sugar addiction ; yet, I significantly reduced mile due to various diets over the years. I think milk is good for me. I have found many never wanted milk. I never overdid; but, did desire milk. I think one has to become knowledgeable; but, still listen to that intuitive knowledge.
A point of clarification: real (homemade) kefir is extremely low in sugar. 1 cup of kefir should have no more than 1-2 grams of sugar if fermented properly. Most store bought kefir has added sugar.
I am from Turkey and our yogurt (what I call "real" yogurt😊) is close to sour cream and is fermented. It is almost completely fat and has no lactose at all. Same goes for real kefir we ferment in Turkey. What you get in the US is not yogurt and kefir.
Sadly the Americanized versions are so they can keep us sick and fat. They use the same name but it is not the same good product. Marketing is about lying to the consumer and tricking them.
This is actually not true. He says 8 ounces which is more than 200gr. We have averagely 4.6 gr of sugar per 100gr, so in reality it is even more than 9gr as in fat free greek version.
I believe he has answered all your concerns......no processed cheese...more it is aged the less to no sugar. Answer? just be sure to eat aged cheese. (near end of video) for myself I have only liked extra aged or aged cheddar, some mozzarella..in recipes.
I eat plain whole milk Greek yogurt ( 5% milkfat ). I sweeten it with a little Allulose ( the best non-nutritive sweetener out there I believe ) and usually add some walnuts. I choose full fat yogurts for the satiety I get eating fat. Keeps me going for a long time before I'm hungry again. I think this is fine on a Keto diet because most, if not all of the milk sugar ( lactose ) in any PLAIN yogurt ( non-fat, low fat, full fat ) is consumed by the friendly bacteria and converted to lactic acid ( not a carbohydrate ) during fermentation. I believe the carb content on the label is looking at the milk sugars prior to fermentation which would make sense from a regulatory viewpoint.
For me, milk was a funny one. Me and two other family members decided to go on keto, and we were absolute milk addicts. Litteraly, we drank atlest 1 litre a day each. We all said that cutting out milk was probably goong to be the hardest part about staying on the diet, but after just 3 days we all lost the taste for it completely, no craving for it at all. It was weird, ive never wanted to drink milk again after that, it seems like it was completely natural for my body to drop the intake of it :)
I'm watching all your videos. I feel I need to take a test to see if I'm comprehending all of the information correctly. Can you provide a multiply choice test for your viewer? (100 to 200 questions)
I accidentally blew it. I had quite a bit of plain yoghurt. All I can do is start over and continue on my keto plan. I am very glad for this information. I wish that I had looked at the label. I can't believe how much sugar I just ate. I'm an idiot. Thank you Dr Berg for helping me to learn more about my own health.
Dr Berg you are my best advisor, I don’t very eat dairy, once a while I eat Brie no sugar at all no carbohydrates, greens vegetables eggs and red meat for my diet, and I exercise, I feel much better my belly fat is gone
I eat Cheeses on keto, feta, camenbere, ricotta. And I won't give up milk in my coffee. They are treats. I've lost 18 kilos since march. Rather slow some may say but my liver was sick it took 3 months to lose just 3 kilo. I'm no longer pre diabetic! Thanks doc. X

That feel when your heart drops as Dr Berg crosses milk out
Some non dairy milks, such as almond milk, contain very little sugar. You can try those out.
Milk is gross. Full of hormones and synergetic calcium, synthetic vitamin d.
Quit being a pawn of the disgustingly corrupt dairy industry.
That feel when when your heart drops as 'Dr' Berg is dumbfounded that adding lactase to milk doesn't remove its sugar content
I'm happy to say no to cottage cheese 🤣

It just needs to be low sugar, no sugar. Sugar (carbs) + fat = fat on the body.
My heart doctor was the first to tell me not to eat "lite" products because they were higher in carbs/sugar He said whole everything but in moderation is best.
I’m lactose-intolerant, and for years I’ve been making my own yogurt from New Zealand grass-fed whole milk powder (no additives), let it ferment for at least 24hr, and I have no issues consuming it. It’s quite sour, but I like it.
That’s what we want to hear, but can you eat butter/ghees/cheese or other dairy products without problems too?
5 ounces (150 grams) of plain Greek yogurt provides 6 grams of carbs and 11 grams of protein. That amount of cottage cheese provides 5 grams of carbs and 18 grams of protein (43, 44).
Both yogurt and cottage cheese have been shown to help decrease appetite and promote feelings of fullness. I have 75grs yogurt or kefir daily with added fiber to slow down the sugar consumption that by the other side is very slow in dairies.
I'm not on Keto but I have cut right down on sugar and increased fat. My weight has slowly reduced and I feel good. Thanks Dr Berg. I have learnt a lot.
That’s all you need …
Lactose free means that Lactose is broken in two halves but it is not extracted. That is why the sugar content doesn't decrease.

Not only does it not decrease, but the sugar content increases, significantly. Since the lactose (which is a combination of glucose and galactose) is broken down, you're left with its building blocks, which is sugar. Before keto, I used to always buy lactose-free milk since it was easier on the stomach, until I realized that it had quite a bit more sugar than regular whole milk.
Thank you for the science on this. I just wanted to know about plain Greek yogurt 2% and up as well as plain unsweetened soy milk which I use in coffee as almond milk taste horrible in it but is good for cereals

The lactose free one still have sugar, because they don't suck the lactose out of it, but they add the enzyme that decompose the lactose into glucose and glactose which are still other types of sugar
The yogurt types seem to be so different than what we have in the Middle East (the levant in particular). Most of them have bacteria and have undergone some fermentation and are not sweet at all.
yeah, same here in Bulgaria - yogurt is YOGURT
Those are high in probiotics too... as long as a cup doesn't exceed 8 grams of sugar and you only have one cup, I think you'll be fine. I love the sour taste of plain yogurt!
We can get good food in the US, but you have to put some effort into finding it sometimes. Much of the readily available food is processed garbage.
@@zang9147 Same here, in the last 10-15 years Aldi, Metro, Kaufland (German chain stores) are very successfully killing off the traditional markets. Bulgarians are VERY attached to yogurt though, so everyone carries the real deal. But I am afraid big agra etc. are not playing around.
In india, yogurt is curd. Very sour, fermented by bacteria.
Dr. Berg has changed my life forever. God bless him. 😎
When I eliminated dairy from my diet, I experienced profound improvements in my skin! Taking out the dairy, in addition to consuming the high quality fats inherent in a keto diet, has yielded me the absolute best complexion of my life. I also noticed digestive benefits. So I avoid dairy.
what fats do you eat instead? :)
Avocados, coconut oil, sardines, cod liver oil, extra virgin olive oil, grass fed beef liver, wild sockeye salmon, egg yolks...to name a few. These are all staples in my diet.
Also nuts and seeds. I was just listing some staple foods off the top of my head. Forgot nuts and seeds, which I eat daily.
did you also eliminate cheese?
Jennifer Myers oh goodd
I love how Dr. Berg looks at you when he talks about most yoghurt and pauses when he mentions the sugar content and as though he's going to be disappointed in you in case you say you want it. Lol so cute!
Exactly! He assumes we're paying attention and know non-verbal queues. The frowny face...
Dr. Berg the reason why some lactose free dairy products still have same amount of sugar is because these products r added with a chemical that breaks down lactose into other forms of sugar(galactose and glucose generally); smthng which lactose intolerant pple can't do, however the sugar remains in the dairy product. "Lactose free" Should not be confused with removing lactose from the food.
Stonyfield organic plain whole milk yogurt as only 8g's. I add a lot of pure cinnamon to it, and take a few spoonfuls.
@blargin1234 I went on to a Keto group, and the young people under 35, want to if it o.k. to drink soft drinks, like coke. what's your opinion. I drink water, or tea.
It's gross but bodybuilders will drink diet/zero sugar sodas.
But regular is a big no-no. Tons of sugar and no fiber not good for any diet, especially keto
I recently discovered labne, this appears to be Lebanese kefir cheese. The whole milk blend with sour cream has zero sugar and only 1 gram of carb. This is ideal for keto since it has a high fat content and it is creamy delicious. Also, this is a good source of probiotics with active live cultures. It tastes like Greek yogurt but much thicker and not as sour. My local Armenian grocery store sells this at $2.29 for a 1 pound container here in Los Angeles.
Thanks I'll going to try that!
Labne 👍
well actually i eat that very product, and a pint of the stuff does have 16 grams of net carbs in it....which btw is not a lot, plus it is really healthy with its probiotics plus it tastes so very satisfying
Quitting dairy was the best thing I ever did - constipation is no more, my skin has cleared up so much and I now look ten years younger than I actually am, according to friends and family:) Bloating has gone, my tummy is completely flat (as opposed to the perfect round ball shape it was before!) Camel milk is the best thing I have ever consumed, and sometimes drink goats milk, oat milk, almond or coconut milk. Fortunately there are many alternatives to cows milk:) Dairy was also problematic for me due to allergies, skin issues and asthma-type symptoms. Best wishes to everyone and thank you Dr Berg for sharing your knowledge. It is much needed.
🐪..Camel milk..no thanks
@Andy Man I’d love to try it but have no idea where to get it in the Midwest. I would bet we don’t have it.
So many of the healthier milks are way too expensive for me to afford. Oat milk? Verizon just to have basic T.V.? Which one? ;)
I do like goats milk cheese ( Feta ) so I might like drinking but many of these things are only available at high price specialty stores :(
Land O Lakes heavy whipping cream has 0 carbs, 0 sugars. There's also Greenwise (Publix grocery store in South) that is grass fed, organic heavy whipping cream that has zero carbs, sugars that's great for coffee
Can't find any zero carbs heavy whipping cream .....🤔🤔
Love the short, to-the-point videos that are packed with info.
*It's helpful to know which dairy products are keto-friendly and their potential impact on the diet. Thanks for providing insights and tips for incorporating dairy into a keto lifestyle* 😊
🤦🤦🤦why are people still so confused??? He doesn't have to go through every single last dairy item for you to understand this logic. If it's high in sugar it's bad for keto. Point Blank Period!!!🙄
+pretty money yes yes yes
you eat good healthy fat. And its good, and fills you up. You get rid of carbs(sugar) which really destroys your body.
My weight loss stopped when I was going crazy on the dairy. :-( I love cheese. :-(
Yes I was losing 1kg a day then started just having a small plain yogurt and began putting on weight again. Definitely stops keto working.
pretty money some of the masses haven’t let go of the sugars so it obstructs from the cognitive function in their brains.
Re: "I don't understand how there's 11g of sugar in lactose free yogurt."
Lactose free usually doesn't mean the lactose is taken out. It means it has added lactase, which splits the lactose into galactose and glucose. So, the sugar is still there, just in a different form.
I love your videos !I did keto diet in jJnuary in 2017. I am 36 ,male 5'10'' tall at the time I was 205 lbs and went down to 170 lbs in 4 months ( I don't go to the gym) . During that 4 month period I have had homemade yogurt every day for breakfast and sometimes before bed .(as a matter of fact I still eat yogurt every day )I have been making yogurt at home for over one year now and because I love keto and I love yogurt I had to come up with a solution to increase the fats in it and also lower the carbs . What I do is for every gallon of whole milk I add 1 quart of heavy whipping cream. I let it ferment (after all the heating and then cooling and adding live culture ) in my oven in a blanket over night 10 hours sometimes 12 hours ( when ready u can strain it or as u go scoop the whey out ,or do what i do once ready and before refrigeration i put few peices of paper towels on top to absorb the whey )
That is truly SAD, in the US these products have so many carbs it's almost criminal.
If only people would stop 🛑 buying these USA products ,they would have to start giving what the American Consumers want.
you can lose the word "almost"
I'm sure it is criminal .Don't the kid's vote for there wellbeing.
Is that legal?
Am I even rite ?
That's why I stopped eating things in a box almost 40 years ago. 1 ingredient food - you know what you're getting especially if it's organic, is the only way to know what we put in our body. I do cheat once in awhile with keto friendly dessert - cuz....
What used to shock me in France is how much they give kids the frigging sweetened yogurt (the Danone brand) out of the belief it's "healthy". Same with the absurd craze of low fat "fruit" yoghurt so many, adults and children alike, were having as a "dessert".
It shocks me that the French would be eating Dannon instead of their own brand.
@@harrylazard805 Danone is a French brand.
@@xavierghazi4939 Oh, sounds like the same ingredients....
For the Lactose-free thing. I was wondering about the sugar content in the lactose free milk recently. Found out, lactose free doesn't mean lactose is removed from the milk but it is broken down into monosacharides galactose and glucose by adding lactase enzyme into the milk. So the lactose-free milk tastes sweeter and is higher in glycemic Index too. So lactose-free products are even worse for the keto diet in general.
Stanislav Kolbe i
Ok ok... I give up cow milk 🙃
I understand that lactose intolerance only came about because the industry plays about with milk so much. The chemicals used to take fat out, lactose out, add vitamins etc, etc... has caused a change in the quality of our drinking milk in the supermarkets.
Would it kick me out of ketosis??
Great video. I’ve lost 45 pounds since July 1, 2018 until now (10/14/18). I have at least 1 of the following cheeses daily, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, pepper jack cheese, parm cheese and mozzarella cheese. Thanks for the confirmation
Helppppp
But how are u making them all? As Dr Berg says you can't have processed cheese.. where to get the fresh then
@@fatimaraza3324 all cheese is processed. It's milk processed into cheese.
@@fatimaraza3324 almond milk is ok, with cheese some people on keto still use cheese in their diets
idk why all your listed yogurts are low fat.
I consume higher fat yogurts (greek yogurts), 5%-10%, and they average at about 4g carbs per 100g yogurt.
Suprised me too, when they take out fat they replace it with sugars mostly.
Why the hack should i want low fat yoghurt on a keto diet?
Welcome to America, land of the free sugar!
🇨🇦 Yes I eat plain full fat (9%-10% fat) Mediterranean, Greek or Icelandic yogurt which contains only cream, whole milk and active bacteria cultures. Carbs are excellent 🇨🇦
@@LoveWinsMovement yes! I love Greek Yogurt, enjoy it many times a week with raspberries, Chia seeds, flax seeds and nuts on top :)
I eat 3/4 cup whole fat Fage brand yogurt. I love it so it is hard to not over do it. But less than 5 grams of carbs. Over 17 G of protein.
You're the best DOC ! Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷
Not so fast Dr. Berg!
There are many different kinds of yogurt, and I've found a few I like to use. Chobani whole milk plain Greek yogurt- 9g fat, 16g protein, 7g carbs, 6g sugar. Two Good vanilla lowfat greek yogurt- 2g fat, 13g protein, 4g carbs, 2g sugar. Friendly Farms protein fat free Greek yogurt- 0g fat, 13g protein, 5g sugar.
Note that he is basing off one cup, the serving size here is 3/4. I always load mine up with nuts, seeds, and berries, whatever I got. I used to eat regular yogurt, but ive gotten used to the sour and thicker stuff!
Happy to hear about half & half and pepper jack cheese🤗 this answered my question~ Thank You Dr.Berg
get full fat cream better than half & half. especially if you drink two or more cups of coffee, the bad half adds pretty quickly. or even better, get used to drink bulletproof coffee.
do you drink coffee only with half&half or add sugar too?
I read the ingredients on a gallon of milk at the grocery store. In fact I read the ingredients on skim, 1%, 2% and whole milk, and was shocked to see that they actually ADD sugar to milk for flavor. No matter which fat content you choose, they are still adding in sugar. I haven't purchased any dairy except heavy cream ever since. Heavy cream has NO sugar added. Now I only drink unsweetened plain almond milk, and to be honest, I find it much more refreshing than real milk. After just a few weeks I started preferring the flavor of almond milk, and actually start craving it. I loves me some almond milk now.
You have some STRANGE milk. Normally milk has nothing added to it except for vitamin D and sometimes vitamin A.
Almond milk is full of phytic acid and other anti nutrients
He omitted two extremely healthy dairy products with no added sugar and lots of benefits:
*Greek yogurt, plain, full fat.* I use it as a dressing for salads. I either use Greek yogurt and add avocado to the salad, or use olive oil as dressing and no avocado in the salad.
*Plain white yogurt, full fat.* Not that good on its own, but I eat it with chopped peaches, strawberries or blueberries. It's just like the ones that come with the fruit on top, only that with way less sugar and no preservatives.
Edit: and gorgonzola and brie..
How do you make greek yogurt dressing?
I believe in another of his videos he mentioned chopping up raspberry or strawberry and using in yogurt or something! Just a few, as in 3 I think. Berries are low carb
What about ouzo? 🤔😁
Recommending that people eat peaches on keto is a good way of disappointing a lot of people who are trying to do keto.
Hello Dr. Berg, I have just seen your video. I'm a professor of food science, please be informed the plain yoghurt has not more than 2.5% lactose. That is because of the lactic acid bacteria of the starter ferment most of milk lactose as exactly what happens in hard cheese. If you even keep yoghurt for few days you can get almost 1% lactose as the bacteria keeps fermenting it.
I have been following a mostly (90%) ketogenic diet for about 2 weeks. I also followed your advice about really only eating 2 meals a day…. 12pm & 6pm. I feel a lot lighter and others have noticed too which is a plus. I find it difficult to cut back on iced coffee but everything else like donuts, breads, muffins, bagels, cookies etc I’ve had no problem cutting from my diet. I don’t really care if I don’t ever go into “full ketosis” as I mainly am in this for the weight loss.
Try Almond milk cold coffee with original stevia. It should be your magic bullet
What a great and useful video! This guy has provided me with information that I didn't even realize I needed, but I really did.
Yes !!! Cheddar made the cut !!! Whooo- Hoooo ! 😆🧀
I would say I am lactose sensitive BUT I found raw milk and raw kefir to not have the same affect. I would encourage you to look at all the health benefits of raw milk plus it tastes delicious !
For keto maybe not, but for overall health yogurt is a super powerhouse food for your body.
I eat whole milk plain yogurt (Cabot) that has 4g of sugar, with no added sugar. You should always avoid any low fat products since sugar is usually added.
This does not apply to homemade kefir especially if you do a second fermentation.
Quick, concise and to the point. The best Keto Diet information videos on the web. Thank You Dr. Berg,🙏
I learn something from every video, thank you!💯
Glad to hear it!
@@Drberg sorry to ask what did you mean by half and half in the cofee? Half of what and half of what?EDIT Oh my god i just found out its a product of its own named half and half
Dr. Berg, Redwood Hills makes a plain, goat yogurt which has 0 sugar. I add walnuts or pecans & a small amount of honey 🍯 for sweetness. So, yes one can find 0 sugar plain goat yogurt.
I’m Turkish, just compared the carb amount to our regular yogurt. Yogurt here has 7 gr of carb per 100 gr. (Fruit yogurts is not a thing here) . And full fat milk has 4,7 gr of carbs.
I thought I had a lactose problem a while back, so I bought lactose free milk. I learned that it's not actually lactose free, they just add the enzyme you need to digest it. This might explain why the sugar is still there! Another thing I noticed that was super weird (this is not quite on topic), was that alot of dairy free cheese had milk listed as an allergen/ingredient.
The Greek yogurt mentioned may be "Greek style", proper fully strained traditional Greek has about 4-6 grams of sugar per 100ml serving. Also pretty high in protein and calcium and great for the stomach bacteria.
Dear Dr. Berg, love your videos. May I just say that it's not "kEEfer" as pronounced but "kefEEr" with the accent on the second vowel "i", which is pronounced as "ee". Please, take it from someone who grew up drinking "kefEEr" since childhood as it's a very popular drink in the Caucuses, the Balkans and Eastern Europe. Thank you for all your work.
Glad someone said it.. Every time he said "Kiefer" my mind added "...Sutherland"
IMHO if you are going to adopt words from another language you could at least be respectful enough to get the pronunciation in the right ballpark.
second syllable, not vowel.
Checking the sugars or carbs is the key. :-)
My current yoghurt is 3g carb/sugar (total) per 100g serving. It is "Fage" brand -- a plain, full fat, greek style, "set" yoghurt.
Maybe not an everyday food, but very helpful and handy when travelling or camping.
I add a little fibre like ground flax, cocoa nibs if I want crunch, or powdered psyllium husk and can mix in MCT oil, too.
Love love love Fage plain yogurt. So hard to keep to 3/4 cup. 👍
Yoplait has a Yogurt (No Sugar Added version) that is only 3 grams per 8 ounces, so that one is okay. Comes in Cherry flavored also, tastes good.
The Berg givith and the Berg takeith away.
Lol!
hahahaa
Omit dairy nut milks has more calcium in them over Diary
LOL
Too true man, drinking my coffee black is going to be a chore.
I was actually shocked when he said most people eat processed cheese. I haven't eaten that stuff in years. You can get real cheese in slices. No need to eat fake cheese.
real cheese in slices is processed too, so they can slice it. like swiss and cheddar.
@@tegoblue you can buy real cheese slices that is all natural cheese. Swiss, cheddar, havarti, etc. In Canada, processed cheese has to be labeled as processed. I buy Swiss cheese slices all the time that are all natural cheese.
i think processsed cheese is not 19 g of sugar tho , the laughing cow is like 1g per serving
You can make your own Greek yogurt by using half and half. It's just a higher fat yogurt. Bacteria eats most of the sugar anyway.
Yes, that is the part Dr. Berg didn’t factor. The carbs in yogurt are pre-fermented values, and don’t factor the reduction from the Bacteria. Hence why whole milk plain yogurt has the same amount of carbs as whole milk does on the label.
The same also goes for Kefir. We make our own Kefir and yogurt. And it has kept us in ketosis! Making yogurt out of half-and-half is the best! We use whole milk for the Kefir.
I make it from heavy whipping cream
50%goat milk 50%sheep milk is the real yogurt in Greece
I love how you get so exuberant on telling the audience about what not to eat! You're funny ☺. I've been dieting since November 3, 2020. Two weeks ago I started to eliminate carbs on a very low threshold.
November 3, 2020, 192... April, 2, 2021, 175. On the Keto plan, April 20, 2021, through April 26, 2021, I lost three significant pounds. In summary, since April 2, 2021, at 175, I'm down to 169. Today is April 27, 2021. I'm not at all starving. I was starving before by lowering fat, and thinking carbs were key. Carbs are not key, so now just flipped it. It's working for me.
Fage Greek Plain Yogurt has 5g of natural sugar/carbs, mix in vanilla extract and allulose for a great keto snack. I eat it and do fine on Keto. Fairlife milk (cows milk) has 6 g of carbs/natural sugar per cup. I mix it with almond milk or water to reduce the carbs even more, or just use half a cup in keto cereals (Magic Spoon cereal does not throw me out of ketosis at all.) It's the only keto cereal I've found that I like and doesn't affect me.
How about home made kefir? Does it have the same amount of sugar? I ferment milk using kefir 'grains' and we drink it plain and fresh. Nothing added. I thought most of the lactose will be consumed by the SCOBY.
Very interesting! Thank you!
Yes please, I would also like an answer regarding homemade milk kefir. I ferment it twice - with the grains for 24hrs and without grains for 8 to 10hrs both at room temp. It is very sour and thick. Separates into curds and whey. There cannot be any sugar left! But sources conflict in carb count. Please clarify.
I also make kefir at home with grains using full cream unhomogenized milk. And drink in good amount..
Still in keto,, rashes on my both arms and back.. lol
Wanna know Dr. Berg's opinion..
manhoostube I also had this rash when I started keto before kefir..it will pass but, is not fun when you have it..I think it is a histamine reaction???
Marlene Jackson I also ferment 2x..24 on counter with grains and 24 in refig with grains..I am maintaining my weight perfectly..we drink it plain usually...Love it and never felt better with the combo of keto and kefir..
*Cocks hammer on revolver* "OK I'm going to tell you what's going down,That yogurt over there - You're going to drink it."
Dr. Berg, you are speaking my language! I always thought it was all the cheese I ate (I always say that cheese is my favourite food group) that was causing the excess weight. Now I know that the crackers or pizza crust I ate it with were the real culprits even if made with whole wheat.
If Dr Berg looked at regular greek yoghurt he would have seen that similar to the higher sugar in low fat milk, for greek yoghurt it's the same. The regular greek yoghurt I get is 10g net carbs for every 250g. 250g would be a massive bowl of yoghurt, a serving is usually half that, so a usual serving of 125g of the greek yoghurt I eat gives you 9.5g fat, 4.7g net carbs, 5g protein. I throw some double cream in there and add hemp seeds and almond nuts. Add some stevia sweetener to take the bitterness out and you have a pretty nice snack!
I thought I knew something about nutrition before I started listening to Dr. Bergs videos.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us, Dr Berg! I was in a very bad way due to the foods I was consuming, and I will be making a huge effort to reverse the damage I did to myself.
The lactose free is still high in sugar because it still contains lactose but it is broken down to glucose and galactose by adding an enzyme, lactase, to the yogourt
"If you were at gunpoint and had to eat kefir..." HAHAHA!
🤣
Ok I felt the need to comment on this. I have studied nutrition, have some medical background and have been on a healthy keto and intermittent fasting regimen for nearly 2 years with success. That been said i agree with everything said in this video except one thing. Yogurt. There are yogurts that i include in my keto diet for very specific reasons. Oikos Vanilla Triple zero and Icelandic are my two goto yogurts. Yes they have a small amount of sugar and small amount of carbs but it is very very low and compared to the fact the ingredients are natural and the sugar is fructose from lemon juice combined with the probiotic cultures in it as well as the benefits of the other nutrients i find it to be a welcome addition to a Healthy Keto diet. Good gut biome is essential to absorbing the needed nutrients to be able to maintain the keto regimen. It will break a fast and shift you out of ketosis but you just include it during your meal time and count it to you carb count as well as have it occasionally and not every day. I comsume these yogurts once or twice a week during meal time and on recovery days after a significant fast.
I drink whole fresh milk everyday. Not high amounts... but i like it and i feel great. Don’t intend to stop.
Keto needs to be renamed “ KantDo”. I’m going to miss all the foods I loved but I’m committed to this new ketogenic diet to help reduce my fatty liver 😁
😆😆😆😆👍
As always, informative, straight to the point, and very down to earth.
😄Adding to the compilation of Dr. Berg quotes: "so if you were forced to consume some type of yogurt or kefer".."so if you were at gun point..." 🤣
😫🤣🤣🤣🤣
I would love it if you do a test on how much actual sugar remains in a batch of home made organic whole milk kefir. I have seen videos that claim that the sugar remaining is extremely minimal
Thank you, your team and the community!
God bless you all !
Dr Berg, lactose is a disaccharide composed by glucose and galactose that the bacteria of kefir transform into lactic acid. However, there are bacteria that synthesize polysaccharides called kefirane and kefirose that are composed by lactose and glucose but that being extremely long chains, cannot be attacked easily by the enzymes present in the kefir. These polysaccharides are the ones giving the viscosity to the kefir and have plenty of advantages for who drinks kefir and they are counted as carbohydrates.
how about homemade yogurt, made from goat’s milk and starter, sometimes, I empty 2 of the probiotics capsules in the starter?
Goat yogurt home made from fresh Goat milk could be a good choice.
Fine unless your goat is diabetic.
@@rogergreen9861 From eating GMO, glyphosate soy and corn.
everyone came for the whole milk
looks like the doctor doesn't know whole milk exists, which is the only one which is milk.
imagine baby goat wanting milk from its mom, and mom asks the baby
which one do you want: 2% or 1/2 and 1/2 or cream
the baby would answer
I asked for milk, not manmade nonsense
This is a weak video.
I think one has to be sensitive to what their body needs. Meaning being able to tell the difference between an addictive cycle vs the body telling you you really need this. Milk is one of those things I always wanted and enjoyed early on, prior to sugar addiction ; yet, I significantly reduced mile due to various diets over the years. I think milk is good for me. I have found many never wanted milk. I never overdid; but, did desire milk. I think one has to become knowledgeable; but, still listen to that intuitive knowledge.
You actually didn't mention the best yoghurt option: whole milk Greek yoghurt (cow or goat although the second is better)
I make my own raw milk yogurt - when making Greek yogurt, you just drain the excess water lout of normal yogurt.
houndjog cool, I should try that too! I wonder how much sugar it would contain, I guess the lactose should decrease during the Fermenting.
1PKFilms I wonder why he didn't.
I also make whole milk yogurt and then drain the whey to make Greek style yogurt. Dr Berg, how many grams of sugar after you remove the whey? Thanks!!
Deb O about 3-4g depending on the specific bacterial strains used and how long you fermented the joghurt
lactose-free is high in sugar because when lactose is broken down by the enzyme lactase, the byproduct is glucose.
A point of clarification: real (homemade) kefir is extremely low in sugar. 1 cup of kefir should have no more than 1-2 grams of sugar if fermented properly. Most store bought kefir has added sugar.
What the heck is kefir?
Neil M I wondered that! I have a quart jar of kefir grains and am having trouble deciding if I should go for it or not.
If you were forced to eat yogurt at gunpoint....
No mention of sour cream? Probably my favorite dairy product on keto. Put that stuff on everything.
You read my mind! I put it on everything also, I can eat it plain as well! Sour cream is my yogurt! :)~ Yum...
That's true. I will check it when I get home. But if a baked potato is being made you can bet sour cream will not be limited.
A baked potato will probably throw you out of ketosis.
So do i, mainly on my eggs.
I’m vegan milks cause more calcium in then what Diary has less calcium less sugar too
Super Informative video ! Thanks Dr. Berg :D
I started ketos diet 9/12 I have lost only 3 pounds. But I feel great. Thanks for the encouragement and the advice👍
I am from Turkey and our yogurt (what I call "real" yogurt😊) is close to sour cream and is fermented. It is almost completely fat and has no lactose at all. Same goes for real kefir we ferment in Turkey. What you get in the US is not yogurt and kefir.
Sadly the Americanized versions are so they can keep us sick and fat. They use the same name but it is not the same good product. Marketing is about lying to the consumer and tricking them.
This is actually not true. He says 8 ounces which is more than 200gr. We have averagely 4.6 gr of sugar per 100gr, so in reality it is even more than 9gr as in fat free greek version.
Hi:)
A video only about all kind of cheese (good and bad in keto diet) would be great to watch:)
Thanks in advance:)
Great idea as I love cheese and snack on them to pump up my fats!
I believe he has answered all your concerns......no processed cheese...more it is aged the less to no sugar. Answer? just be sure to eat aged cheese.
(near end of video) for myself I have only liked extra aged or aged cheddar, some mozzarella..in recipes.
I'm lucky to have access to a variety of grass fed dairy products. But the whole fat Kefir is my favorite.
It would be cool if you did a video on raw milk vs regular because their is a massive difference.
I would like to know too. All keto people demonize milk like no one has raw milk which is sooo good for you!
Exactlyyyyy
I eat plain whole milk Greek yogurt ( 5% milkfat ). I sweeten it with a little Allulose ( the best non-nutritive sweetener out there I believe ) and usually add some walnuts. I choose full fat yogurts for the satiety I get eating fat. Keeps me going for a long time before I'm hungry again. I think this is fine on a Keto diet because most, if not all of the milk sugar ( lactose ) in any PLAIN yogurt ( non-fat, low fat, full fat ) is consumed by the friendly bacteria and converted to lactic acid ( not a carbohydrate ) during fermentation. I believe the carb content on the label is looking at the milk sugars prior to fermentation which would make sense from a regulatory viewpoint.
You are AWESOME -- so well presented, directly and clearly . . . no excess verbiage!
For me, milk was a funny one. Me and two other family members decided to go on keto, and we were absolute milk addicts. Litteraly, we drank atlest 1 litre a day each. We all said that cutting out milk was probably goong to be the hardest part about staying on the diet, but after just 3 days we all lost the taste for it completely, no craving for it at all. It was weird, ive never wanted to drink milk again after that, it seems like it was completely natural for my body to drop the intake of it :)
LOOKING GOOD DR BERG...KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. LOVE LOVE THE ELECTROLYTE POWDER.
I'm watching all your videos. I feel I need to take a test to see if I'm comprehending all of the information correctly. Can you provide a multiply choice test for your viewer? (100 to 200 questions)

Any kind you want.
I accidentally blew it. I had quite a bit of plain yoghurt. All I can do is start over and continue on my keto plan. I am very glad for this information. I wish that I had looked at the label. I can't believe how much sugar I just ate. I'm an idiot. Thank you Dr Berg for helping me to learn more about my own health.
No need to be hard on yourself. Just continue the plan and learn from your mistakes.
I eat plenty of natural yogurt and Greek yogurt and stay in ketosis. I also have milk sometimes and it doesn't kick me out.
I am addicted to milk. I don't care about the rest of the foods on the planet, I can survive on milk only 😅 And eggs.
Milk is FAT, sugar or no sugar. Blue Diamond Almonds, amondmilk, has no sugar, taste great. YOUR CHOICE,
And honey plus coffee 😍
Night Hiker almond milk is unnatural and calcifies your whole body which is toxic .
eggs are very good, milk is bad. Milk has grow hormons and grow hormons help cancer cells to grow.

18 kilos since march. Rather slow some may say but my liver was sick it took 3 months to lose just 3 kilo. I'm no longer pre diabetic! Thanks doc. X
