I really feel the need to share this with the world! Has helped me so much Vegan keto hot cocoa 6-8oz unsweer almond milk 1 square bakers chocolate 2 tbsp mct s or coconut oil About half a scoop of vanilla vegan protein powder I heat the almond milk on the stove and wisk the ingredients in. I drink half before and he after my keto meal. Totally prevented over eating and cravings for me
I watch your videos daily, it helps me stick to the program to remind me why I'm giving up all the foods I used to eat and enjoy (and was addicted to). Also mentally practicing resisting triggers like imagining passing the ice cream or chips section without buying any. I also mentally prepare myself with visualization for driving past fast food places, or going to the grocery and bulk store which are bombarding me with triggers. I have given in a few times at first but now I'm getting much better at sticking to it. Also I had a non-keto Thanksgiving, that was rough to recover from and now I am really avoiding these "cheat meals" knowing how bad my body feels after because the cravings reappear and it's hard to push through at first, but I rewatch your videos when I'm obsessing about sugar and other non-keto foods.
My mother grew up in poverty. She remembers eating soft fine dirt from the back of her house. She said it would taste so "delicious" to her as a child. It's amazing how our brains & bodies function to survive.
Actually, pregnant women who crave eating dirt, raw flour, & a couple other strange things are urged to not do so because the craving is actually the deficiency of a certain vitamin which they contain. The OB would rather supplement the deficiency safely. Amazing that a body knows what to eat to get what's lacking without even consciously having cognition of what is lacking. And we ignore all that inner knowledge yet claim that we are evolving? Stranger question. Why do some postpartum women, a very few, have a ravenous desire to consume the ejected placenta?
Very interesting. Isn't there risk of ingesting dangerous parasites from eating soil?? I've never appreciated the "aroma" of dirt. But I wasn't one of those kids who made mud cakes, etc. However, for a long time I was anemic and craved and ate baking soda.
SUPER HELPFUL! Thanks so much Dr. Berg, the way you present info makes it understandable for the lay person, but also includes just enough "science" to make it interesting.
I crave them all. I have such a good appetite I absolutely love them all: salty, sweets, starch, fats and sour too. Bitter is the only taste I don't like.
It's so therapeutic just listening to his soothing, majestic voice projecting his beautiful and scientific health advice. Thank you Dr Eric Berg, we all love you 💙😁
There have been large portions of my life where I craved weird nasty stuff like dirt and chalk. Throughout my 31years, I have had all these cravings. Shows what an unhealthy life I was living. You are God sent Dr. Berg
I wish this doctor was in UK. We need more doctors like him. Very very knowledgeable, promotes healthy eating unlike majority of doctors who just want to prescribe pills that are a temporary fix and do not solve the long term problems! In the past 10 years dr berg has dramatically changed my health for the better. I’ve only been to my doctors approximately 6 times in 10 years. If only I could get 1 to 1 appointment with dr berg
Dr.Berg you are amazing, giving us immediate and REAL solutions that work for healthy bodies and mind. You are the BEST!!! I have been following your advise for years now and Iam a fan and believer as you are helping me to stay and become more aware of how to help others with your help.:))
I went into the backyard ate took a scoop of dirt. It tasted like crap so I sprinkled some MSG on it and now it's delicious. Thanks for the tip Dr. Berg after I purchased a huge container of MSG from Costco I won't have to goto the store again this year.
Where does emotional eating come into play? It's difficult to know the difference in a food craving, a food addition and just eating to relieve stress?
U feel stressed when you stress eat And when u crave food you would go past those donuts (that’s my experience) and feel like you would drop on the floor and cry like a baby if you don’t buy it 👍 Best this is to identify if ur stressed in the first place to know if ur stress eating or just craving those gosh damn oily, sugary, mouth watering extremely unhealthy unketogenic donuts (damn it I’m craving donuts 🍩 😶)
Back then I thought I was craving spiciness (I could eat just a bowl of noodles with 30 chillies) but now that I think of it maybe it's the combination of MSG, sugar (from sweet soy sauce) or the starch and those chillies. (I haven't craved anything for awhile)
Interesting because just sucking up the crave to be in shape could be bad in a long run since the body needs its sources and we basically don't feed it back even eating healthy sometimes, great information, definitely writting it down and see what I can do about it instead of losing control on food
doc you are real gentleman. this information is fantastic. I'm just at the start of my weight loss journey and found you recently on UA-cam. in fact I've just completed day 1 of my first ever fast. I'm encountering stuff and your advice is so far spot on . thank you for what you do. Nigel
Wow, very eye opening information here! Thank you Dr Berg and man I wish all doctors had to be taught all of the information you teach us in your videos. PS you're very handsome :)
Yeah Hells' - lol he is married; to a pretty lady at that. .I guess it's all about the intention and some are just innocent appreciation. I get compliments all the time and I am married with my wedding ring sparkling brightly on my finger...and it's nice to hear kind words when I do :-)
I just want to add that in ayurveda, having a balance of all of the tastes in the diet daily helps us with our cravings...(obviously not the msg, beer, dirt etc..dirt?..ok I don't judge) I love Dr. Berg's channel he's like a walking talking encyclopedia.. this video is awesome.. Thanks 🤗
This is way to clinical, the major reason people eat shitty foods are emotional, and not on a hormonal level, it has to do with things going wrong in their lives.
mdTEACH05 I guess I run in different circles, but there are a lot of homeless & hungry people in the West. You can't tell me someone who refuses to panhandle out of pride is just suppressing their craving. And that another person who does & buys McD's because they can't make or store food is succumbing to a craving. I guess you'd say that having shelter when it's cold is a craving too. Yeah, right, get off it.
Thank you so much Doctor! One day I would love to be able to travel to your facility and be treated by you. I have so many things going on with my health that you've discussed in many of your videos. I'm on synthroid for thyroid, bupropion for fibromyalgia, I have so many more things going on with me that have seriously impacted my ability to live a normal life. I'm tired of being tired and not being treated for the causes of my conditions. Thank you for giving me hope though. God bless you Dr.Berg!
I had insane cravings for chocolate up until recently - I could not get enough of it. Within the last few years I started also having heart palpitations and skipped beats that the dr's could not explain as well as twitching at night. I started supplementing magnesium for the twitching and I no longer have palpitations or insane cravings for chocolate. In fact, if it's not really, really good chocolate I'm not interested (such as Lindt). I wish this stuff was more widely known.
I’ve been doing keto for 2 months. Having issues with my gallbladder. I ordered your formula. Hopefully it helps. I love this diet but I have been struggling for a week now. Pain all day after I eat.
Since starting this, I do pretty well with not having many cravings, but I'll suddenly feel cravings for ice cream. I eat a dill pickle and it goes away. Weird huh.
Oliver If you have an Indian Pakistani Grocers near you ..you are in luck.. they have a very inexpensive product a powder that usually comes in a jar ,it usually costs about $6 and could easily last you a month or two or more. is called METHI powder, hahaha not to be confused with methamphetamine.. although it is very very bitter, horribly bitter this product not only can help with SUGAR CRAVINGS but it is a TREATMENT if not a cure for DIABETES as well as BALANCING the HORMONES for both MEN and WOMEN.. They say it also therefore helps with BALDNESS...this really will help with the sugar Cravings because if you eat too much of it you will get a stomach ache like a little kid on Halloween who was eating a bunch of his candy. This is the reason i stopped taking the methi powder around the holidays because i wanted to enjoy pigging out on cookies and chocolates but really that was not a smart idea because i did gain a few pounds ... Anyway, you have nothing to lose by buying this powder... mix it in warm water and just try to drink it as quickly as possible just to get it over with and then you can reward yourself by eating something very tasty to kill that horrible flavor in your mouth... it is nothing more than the ground up dry seed from the FENUGREEK plant... you can do your research on this. I believe methi powder is also a very good treatment for alcoholism because alcohol is loaded with sugar ... too much of sugary products and the methi powder will cause you to literally get a belly ache...truly ! They say SUGAR CRAVINGS happen because there's not enough COPPER in our diet.. They also said you can try using cinnamon and i don't believe this helps at all because almost every time i drink a cup of hot tea and i drink at least three or four a day i usually put some cinnamon and other spices in it so that it tastes like tea from India which has what they call Masala in it ( unless im drinking OOLONG , or PU ER.. or other Chinese or herbal teas .. which by the way all need to steep 20 minutes or more to be effective... most Americans don't know this .) I don't know anybody that eats as much cinnamon as do i and it DOES NOT CURB MY SUGAR CRAVINGS at all... the only thing that really works is methi powder.. and the price you pay is that horrible bitter taste but the most powerful Healers are usually bitter tasting because of the alkaloids.
Dr. Berg, I wish you to speak about constipation, hemorroyds and Fiber sources in ketogenic diet, since most of fiber sources foods are forbidden in ketogenic diets, would you please clarify this subjetct in a video?
Dr Berg- thanks for educating on cravings. I've taken steps suggested and have found certain cravings weaken in intensity or duration. Now if you can only tell us what to do for the emotionally based cravings that lead us to the fridge/cupboard/ private stash under the stairs :-)
Dr. Berg: Is there any place on the net where I can find all the videos in order for your course on how to become a super Berg bug? I wish I could watch them all together because it makes it hard to alienate all my friends and my entire extended family when I'm only able to channel you piecemeal.
Dr. Berg, I had my gallbladder taken out because of gallstones *now that I know better I wish I didn’t. What can I do to work on my bile? I feel like I am hungry all the time.
Pregnant with my first child I craved ice ALL the time. I couldn't leave the house without a huge cup of ice cubes. I also craved dirt. Not once was I told it was an iron deficiency.
Question: consistently women crave sugar before/during the menstrual cycle. Could it be due to the fact that red blood cells can only use glucose for energy and our bodies create glucose from fat at too slow of a rate this the cravings?
I crave the following all day, everyday; coffee, alcohol, salt, carbs, chocolate, protein, fatty-sweets with whipped cream or cheesecake. It never stops.
I know keto had healthy benefits, but I can never stick to it. Even the regular (bs) 'eat every 2 hours diet is hard to follow, which is pretty logical in hindsight. So thank God I found Intermittent fasting. Easiest and most effective weight loss method. Period. Not even a diet, just a lifestyle The key for me is that when it's easy to follow, it's easy to keep consistent in the long term. So if you're not enjoying keto, then give IF a try if you've never heard of it before.
NasIsLike - Keep in mind, every body is different. It’s difficult for me just to ‘not eat’ because of my variable blood sugar. A person has to do some sort of healthy eating plan (“diet”?) to keep the levels under control, either via fat intake or low/no sugar intake, which would technically be considered a “diet”, right? 🙂
Oh, also, I used to crave starches really bad, and was having a problem with coffee (couldn't stop drinking it, but, it was doing no good) and also I was going crazy for bell peppers, tomatoes and eggplants and smoking like a chimney. Turned out I have a rather rare allergic reaction to wheat and corn, and, I am allergic to nightshades. Now, I can eat tomato, eggplant and/or peppers sometimes, so long as there's a good break of not eating nightshades. But, if I eat a french fry, I want to go buy a pack of cigarettes. I had read somewhere that if you are having trouble quitting smoking or wanting to start again, it could be a nightshade allergy and the way to find out is to stop eating them and see if you can quit smoking. Once I quit eating potatoes, quitting smoking (again) was a breeze. Come to think of it, though I didn't realize why until now, the first time I was able to quit smoking was also because I had quit eating nightshades. Because, back then, the only nightshade I could afford was potatoes and I started following the Yeast Overgrowth Diet by Dr. Crook, best as I could, where potatoes were a giant no-no.
A few days before my period I crave everything! And a lot of it. Just want to eat and eat and eat...I also get quite depressed during that time... Depressed and hungry for a 3-4 days, then it goes away. How do I fix that?
Your body wants carbohydrates, and you should give it that, but not in the form of cake and cookies ;). Make sure to load up on vegetables like squash, beetroot, sweet potatoes etc. If you eat well (healthy) and enough you should be more able to resist those cravings. It usually works pretty well for me, but sometimes I forget to make myself enough good meals and I'm not prepared well enough and I slip ;). It's life...
I used to have the worst PMS. PMDD. Cravings for sugar, salt, starches, etc. I have had issues with yeast overgrowth and autoimmune disease. I now eat carnivore and do not have pms! Try keto and IF. If you have other issues, carnivore can heal you faster.
After nearly 3 weeks with 10 or less carbs a day I all of a sudden craved doughy food. I had 1/2 slice of marble pound cake- (11 carbs) took care of everything. Sometimes it’s ok to give in, but make sure it’s “just enough” and not too much.
sometimes I have bone broth, (salty) and cravings disappear, or I buy seaweed snacks, which are awesome, but expensive, I try to avoid the ones made in China because I am not sure?, and buy organic. Plus it is a good dose of iodine. I really like them, not the exact same texture, but a treat for me.
Thanks, so much Dr. Berg for all the wonderful Information I get from your Videos. I am living in Germany and I have not find any comparable in my country.
Dr. Berg, I have been taking L-Tryptophan for about a week. The problem is I started with the 1 pill suggestion which worked that day but a few days later. 1 pill had no effect. I am now up to 3. Should I stop?
So for fat cravings you fix the bile? But how? He didn't really go into detail on this one. I just feel hungry at the end of the day wanting fast food. Have to stop
tony stark You supplement with ox bile. Locally, there is a place called Tunie's which carries pure Ox Bile. Most people prefer a supplement which contains other ingredients which work in conjunction with the ox bile to benefit the organs which are probably being overburdened by a the faulty, missing, or under functioning gall bladder. Usually they will contain pancreatic acids, digestive enzymes, & betaine HCl acid, but brand to brand the specific ingredients & strengths of ingredients vary. Check the dosages carefully because a higher dosage of a two capsule dosage may actually be stronger than one capsule at a seemingly lower level. There is no set dosage so many people go with what's best for them. I know one lady who takes 6-8 capsules a day since she has no gallbladder & her life has been miraculously changed by it. Lucky's Market has one by their house brand Apothecary, called Superzymes, which is very reasonably priced. The Now brand is called Super Enzymes & is widely available. If you ask a store associate for ox bike, they'll probably claim they never heard of it or that they don't carry it. Only a very knowledgable associate will confidently guide you over the digestive enzymes & start checking the ingredients listings. They'll just check the main labels & look dumbfounded. Haven't found any store personnel locally who know their stuff. And if you don't wish to search out a source locally, you might as well take a look at Dr Berg's Gallbladder Formula as well as the others available on the internet.
Once again, amazing information from Berg. It's fascinating how our body is connected to our mind, sometimes I just started craving for bread or alcohol, like crazy, never understood why. Fortunately, there is DR Berg with answers :)
My mother grew up in poverty. She remembers eating soft fine dirt from the back of her house. She said it would taste so "delicious" to her as a child. It's amazing how our brains & bodies function to survive.
This is some very valuable information! Thank you! I have a question for you. I purchased your book and three supplements for my issues, and I've noticed with the healthy eating habits I'm hardly ever hungry or have cravings. people are telling me if I don't get at least 2000 calories a day, my metabolism will suffer, but I'm just not hungry! Is that total BS, or is my metabolism going to slow down because of my eating less?
normally I'm on a keto diet + intermitted fasting but during the Christmas holidays I consumed sugar and I have to say I crave like crazy sugar and comfort food and I'm hungry all the time so sugar and comfort food makes you more hungry, craving, affects your mood very badly and of course very bad skin, also brain fog. But after starting keto diet + fasting I did not crave any sugar or junk food for the first time in my life
i can't get over how good this guy looks for a fifty-something....i would like to see a shirtless video (no homo) just to see if his diet advice translates to a physique....
I’m fasting now and when you were naming all the types of cravings I was like Nope, I’m craving none of those but then you said “fried catfish!” I liked to jumped out of my seat! Yaasss!!! If I could only have some right NOW!!! 😆 😋
Actually you can eat soil and it's been speculated that people who crave dirt and eat it are usually deficient in Iron. So I'm not too sure if that was a joke :P
My addiction is sweet bread! I can't stop😢 I started my weight loss journey on Jan. 26th at 209 lb now I am at 202 lbs. I can't get rid of the craving for sweet bread.
Two weeks into keto, my carb and sugar cravings went away completely. It’s amazing.
Are you still following a keto diet? How's it? Tks

Sounds like Dr. Charles Stanley, a good thing!
I really feel the need to share this with the world! Has helped me so much
Vegan keto hot cocoa
6-8oz unsweer almond milk
1 square bakers chocolate
2 tbsp mct s or coconut oil
About half a scoop of vanilla vegan protein powder
I heat the almond milk on the stove and wisk the ingredients in. I drink half before and he after my keto meal. Totally prevented over eating and cravings for me
Lots of processed food in that vegan drink.
Not something I'm gonna eat

I don't crave anything during IF but i do feel like eating everything 😂
Same
Am pretty sure a lot of people can relate
Hate when I have that feeling. I stopped myself from craving in temptation.
So true!!!

I would eat dirt as a kid, tasted and smelled soo good. To this day i still think wet soil smells yumny

when you incorporate more of it into your diet you'll start to like it. Salt or just season well to taste.
bqgin I crave vegetables when I'm dehydrated.
bqgin ME TOO!!
John, I've read that salt helps reduce the bitter
Put msg on them, lol. Add some dirt too.

I always ate a lot, my mom told me that my eyes were bigger than my stomach, so i grew a bigger stomach.
Dr.Berg is a blessing!
but chocolate makes me happy when skies are grey ;)
I add cocoa powder to morning coffee. It's a mood booster and I never crave chocolate now.
Dr. Berg never gives into his cravings, how impressive 👏 I'm gonna go for that goal.
I think he was being tongue in cheek
Where does emotional eating come into play? It's difficult to know the difference in a food craving, a food addition and just eating to relieve stress?

Thanks Doctor. Your explanation is brilliant. I now recall that each time i consume spinach i cure my sweet cravings.

Dr. Berg, I wish you to speak about constipation, hemorroyds and Fiber sources in ketogenic diet, since most of fiber sources foods are forbidden in ketogenic diets, would you please clarify this subjetct in a video?
MCT oil can help "move things" if you can't eat enough low carb non-starchy veggies.
Hi Dr. Berg - you mention supplementing with L-Tryptophan for certain cravings. What about those that are already on SSRIs?
probably find a different doc to figure that out.
Dr Berg- thanks for educating on cravings. I've taken steps suggested and have found certain cravings weaken in intensity or duration. Now if you can only tell us what to do for the emotionally based cravings that lead us to the fridge/cupboard/ private stash under the stairs :-)
I crave all of these!
I wasn't craving anything til you mentioned it
but tryptophan sounds good ,I'm learning
7 to 10 cups of vegetables is enough to make me gag with every bite. That's so hard for most people to get. I wish there was an easier way
Have you tried blending the vegetables, like a smoothie? That could work if you don’t feel like eating that much
dr berg you are just amazing !!!!!! i m speechless .your videos are areat. God bless you
I WISH I COULD EAT SWEET, SOUR, CHEESY, RICH FOODS ALL DAY! 🤗🥰
Doughnuts and cheesecake😞
Amazing video as usual Dr ! thank you soo much for this wonderful information .
hello sir,you know your things..thank you for that video
Dr. Berg: Is there any place on the net where I can find all the videos in order for your course on how to become a super Berg bug? I wish I could watch them all together because it makes it hard to alienate all my friends and my entire extended family when I'm only able to channel you piecemeal.
Dr. Berg, I had my gallbladder taken out because of gallstones *now that I know better I wish I didn’t. What can I do to work on my bile? I feel like I am hungry all the time.
Irene Estrada eat fats
Irene, eat more protein
Pregnant with my first child I craved ice ALL the time. I couldn't leave the house without a huge cup of ice cubes. I also craved dirt. Not once was I told it was an iron deficiency.
Question: consistently women crave sugar before/during the menstrual cycle. Could it be due to the fact that red blood cells can only use glucose for energy and our bodies create glucose from fat at too slow of a rate this the cravings?
That and the mood swings that cause women to stress more, making the cortisol spike and causing a slower rate of weight loss.
I crave the following all day, everyday; coffee, alcohol, salt, carbs, chocolate, protein, fatty-sweets with whipped cream or cheesecake. It never stops.
I'm craving for carbohydrates because I'm on keto diet...
I know keto had healthy benefits, but I can never stick to it. Even the regular (bs) 'eat every 2 hours diet is hard to follow, which is pretty logical in hindsight. So thank God I found Intermittent fasting. Easiest and most effective weight loss method. Period. Not even a diet, just a lifestyle
The key for me is that when it's easy to follow, it's easy to keep consistent in the long term. So if you're not enjoying keto, then give IF a try if you've never heard of it before.
I love bread too much D: 🥐🥖🍞🥞🍰
NasIsLike - Keep in mind, every body is different. It’s difficult for me just to ‘not eat’ because of my variable blood sugar. A person has to do some sort of healthy eating plan (“diet”?) to keep the levels under control, either via fat intake or low/no sugar intake, which would technically be considered a “diet”, right? 🙂
Shashikant Vanjeri Stupid😪
Nope.
Oh, also, I used to crave starches really bad, and was having a problem with coffee (couldn't stop drinking it, but, it was doing no good) and also I was going crazy for bell peppers, tomatoes and eggplants and smoking like a chimney. Turned out I have a rather rare allergic reaction to wheat and corn, and, I am allergic to nightshades.
Now, I can eat tomato, eggplant and/or peppers sometimes, so long as there's a good break of not eating nightshades. But, if I eat a french fry, I want to go buy a pack of cigarettes. I had read somewhere that if you are having trouble quitting smoking or wanting to start again, it could be a nightshade allergy and the way to find out is to stop eating them and see if you can quit smoking.
Once I quit eating potatoes, quitting smoking (again) was a breeze.
Come to think of it, though I didn't realize why until now, the first time I was able to quit smoking was also because I had quit eating nightshades. Because, back then, the only nightshade I could afford was potatoes and I started following the Yeast Overgrowth Diet by Dr. Crook, best as I could, where potatoes were a giant no-no.
A few days before my period I crave everything! And a lot of it. Just want to eat and eat and eat...I also get quite depressed during that time... Depressed and hungry for a 3-4 days, then it goes away. How do I fix that?
Your body wants carbohydrates, and you should give it that, but not in the form of cake and cookies ;). Make sure to load up on vegetables like squash, beetroot, sweet potatoes etc. If you eat well (healthy) and enough you should be more able to resist those cravings. It usually works pretty well for me, but sometimes I forget to make myself enough good meals and I'm not prepared well enough and I slip ;). It's life...
Eh, I have mine now... I made a rather light keto mug cake. I feel better.
Yes!!! Great question
I used to have the worst PMS. PMDD. Cravings for sugar, salt, starches, etc. I have had issues with yeast overgrowth and autoimmune disease. I now eat carnivore and do not have pms! Try keto and IF. If you have other issues, carnivore can heal you faster.
Also, make sure you check for nutritional deficiencies. Fasting has helped me so much.
After nearly 3 weeks with 10 or less carbs a day I all of a sudden craved doughy food. I had 1/2 slice of marble pound cake- (11 carbs) took care of everything. Sometimes it’s ok to give in, but make sure it’s “just enough” and not too much.
So what do you do if you're craving potato chips? Could be the salt, could be the potatoes, and could be the fat?
You're in trouble my friend 😂
I think is more about the salt. Potato chips have an enormous quantity of salt
try banana chips
sometimes I have bone broth, (salty) and cravings disappear, or I buy seaweed snacks, which are awesome, but expensive, I try to avoid the ones made in China because I am not sure?, and buy organic. Plus it is a good dose of iodine. I really like them, not the exact same texture, but a treat for me.
Pork Grinds, i dont like them myself but might help you.
Thanks, so much Dr. Berg for all the wonderful Information I get from your Videos.
I am living in Germany and I have not find any comparable in my country.
Dr. Berg, I have been taking L-Tryptophan for about a week. The problem is I started with the 1 pill suggestion which worked that day but a few days later. 1 pill had no effect. I am now up to 3. Should I stop?
Thanks Dr. Berg this vedio is so helpful.. i never before understood why i crave something so bad..very helpful vedio thanks alot
"Its like crap that taste good" haha one of my favorite things he said.
Thank you Dr.BERG
"Not that I ever give into my cravings...." *eyeroll, really Dr. B?
Angela M ......I know right.....Dr b I like u...so keep it real with us
S. Do People sometimes don't get Dr B's humor, do they?
Angela M tu tu. A o
So for fat cravings you fix the bile? But how? He didn't really go into detail on this one. I just feel hungry at the end of the day wanting fast food. Have to stop
tony stark You supplement with ox bile. Locally, there is a place called Tunie's which carries pure Ox Bile. Most people prefer a supplement which contains other ingredients which work in conjunction with the ox bile to benefit the organs which are probably being overburdened by a the faulty, missing, or under functioning gall bladder. Usually they will contain pancreatic acids, digestive enzymes, & betaine HCl acid, but brand to brand the specific ingredients & strengths of ingredients vary. Check the dosages carefully because a higher dosage of a two capsule dosage may actually be stronger than one capsule at a seemingly lower level. There is no set dosage so many people go with what's best for them. I know one lady who takes 6-8 capsules a day since she has no gallbladder & her life has been miraculously changed by it.
Lucky's Market has one by their house brand Apothecary, called Superzymes, which is very reasonably priced. The Now brand is called Super Enzymes & is widely available. If you ask a store associate for ox bike, they'll probably claim they never heard of it or that they don't carry it. Only a very knowledgable associate will confidently guide you over the digestive enzymes & start checking the ingredients listings. They'll just check the main labels & look dumbfounded. Haven't found any store personnel locally who know their stuff. And if you don't wish to search out a source locally, you might as well take a look at Dr Berg's Gallbladder Formula as well as the others available on the internet.
Once again, amazing information from Berg. It's fascinating how our body is connected to our mind, sometimes I just started craving for bread or alcohol, like crazy, never understood why. Fortunately, there is DR Berg with answers :)
being on Dr. Bergs electrolytes I am NOT craving sweets anymore.....
Great stuff, Dr. Berg! You give our profession the name it deserves!!!
I wonder how many people tried to eat dirt.....
Can you give us a guideline on how much of these nutrients are needed to combat these cravings please?
One tsp of dirt, I'm on it! :-)
make sure its organic :D
Peaches Macgyver Super helpful for when you're craving worm eggs. 😝
U can get parasites from any dirt. Get it if it’s edible organic type
My mother grew up in poverty. She remembers eating soft fine dirt from the back of her house. She said it would taste so "delicious" to her as a child. It's amazing how our brains & bodies function to survive.
Cherise Elliott - oh gag!
So I need choline! Thanks so much-- binge watching this channel is very rewarding.
I crave pickle juice
Lol u serious lol hahaha
This is some very valuable information! Thank you! I have a question for you. I purchased your book and three supplements for my issues, and I've noticed with the healthy eating habits I'm hardly ever hungry or have cravings. people are telling me if I don't get at least 2000 calories a day, my metabolism will suffer, but I'm just not hungry! Is that total BS, or is my metabolism going to slow down because of my eating less?
my cheese cravings are constant and killing me ughhhh
Lol hahaha
They say it’s the casein a slow digesting dairy protein that makes it addictive. Calves crave casein so they can grow to adult cow size.
normally I'm on a keto diet + intermitted fasting but during the Christmas holidays I consumed sugar and I have to say I crave like crazy sugar and comfort food and I'm hungry all the time so sugar and comfort food makes you more hungry, craving, affects your mood very badly and of course very bad skin, also brain fog. But after starting keto diet + fasting I did not crave any sugar or junk food for the first time in my life
dr.berg how will you explain some women they crave sour foods usually before or after their menstruation.?
Another great video! 😁💯😊👏😎
i can't get over how good this guy looks for a fifty-something....i would like to see a shirtless video (no homo) just to see if his diet advice translates to a physique....
RantingForSanity great suggestion
I think he does more HIIT type workouts. He seems to be a good shape.
Maybe he could do a pants-less video too.
@@methylators 😂😂😂
😅😅 Yes !! Shirtless video Dr Please 🙏🙏
I’m fasting now and when you were naming all the types of cravings I was like Nope, I’m craving none of those but then you said “fried catfish!” I liked to jumped out of my seat! Yaasss!!! If I could only have some right NOW!!! 😆 😋
Warrior fasting with a 4 hour eating window for 3 months now and I am craving sugar. How can I not be burning fat if I'm fasting 20 hours every day?
Lack of exercise is a great way of preventing yourself from getting into ketosis (I know this comment is 1 year old but whatever).
What about nut and nut butter cravings please
Did you just say eat dirt?
that's his dry sense of humour
+jnorthe ha! yes, dry indeed. Thanks for that thought. much appreciated.
Actually you can eat soil and it's been speculated that people who crave dirt and eat it are usually deficient in Iron. So I'm not too sure if that was a joke :P
I wrote a paper on this during college years. It's called geophagy, the deliberate eating of dirt, clay.
Did you ever figure out an answer from dr. Berg about eating dirt?
Very informative. Congrats and thanks.
Never heard anyone craving lemons 😂😂
JoziTube I crave sour stuff like vine leaves or pickles. Lemons no but sour yes.
JoziTube ..I do crave lemons
JoziTube: I crave sour all of the time...yum!
JoziTube I did when pregnant.
JoziTube get pregnant first
This video really hit home.i need your Adrenal kit.

And betaine HCL, the holly supplement for lack of stomach acid works wonders
This works like an ASMR video for me 😆 nice voice! Thanks for the info 👍
When I crave dirt, I eat ice.
this is good info....what if a person never craves any thing....like to the point of not even knowing what to eat....thank you.
"yeah, ok?" lol.
My addiction is sweet bread! I can't stop😢 I started my weight loss journey on Jan. 26th at 209 lb now I am at 202 lbs. I can't get rid of the craving for sweet bread.
what if my gallbladder was removed?
+Diana Wodnoff I've heard other videos say that you need to supplement with Ox Bile. It's found at Swanson Vitamins. Follow directions on the label.
sweet bacioni you NEED to support your liver with bile supplements.
He has a video explaining what do if you don't have a gallbladder. :)
