In this video, we’re going to talk about the problems with eating kale.
There are a lot of really amazing benefits of kale, such as:
• It has potential anti-cancer effects
• It has potential anti-estrogenic effects
• It can help clean up the liver
• It’s loaded with nutrients
But, there can also be a few problems with eating kale for some people.
1. It can deplete iodine (sea kelp may help counter this issue)
2. It can have too much fiber (try other vegetables) *if you’re bloated because of too much fiber, it can be difficult to lose weight.

Thanks for watching! You may want to try these tips if you have problems with eating kale.
I ate 2 big bunches of kale 🥬 in two days but I dried in oven for 35 min in minimum heat . I put olive oil and pepper.
Best Crunchy snacks ever I try.
@Free My Grandma I’m not too much fan of microwave for myself.
I heard microwave change molecular structure of food and is not going to have same effect in body like dry food in oven.
That leaves little pieces of green specks all over my teeth😉
Crunchy sure, literally the only way to enjoy kale - yes. The best? Dude.
I have had 4-5 cups of raw kale for lunch everyday, for 4 weeks. Only side effect was green turds.

Don’t blame the kale 🥬 birds tend to do that 🤣

Thank You
Right?
I thought I'd stumbled upon a Leprechaun's outhouse...
😂😂😂😂
I've been eating kale for a week (So far). It's very delicious and it doesn't upset my stomach when I cook it or juice it.
You're lucky. I bet you're used to eating greens ?
Kale...... delicious ????? lol ok
@@sarahX.. Exactly... I'm definitely not taking that comment seriously
@@sarahX.. grocery store kale is gross. But the kale I’m growing in my garden this year is amazing. I thought I hated kale too LOL.
I've started using my juicer again recently in order to get more potassium whilst avoiding too much fibre. A combination of cucumber, celery or kale, lemon and a little ginger makes a quite pleasant start to the day (but not every day!).
Thanks Dr. Berg, your videos are short, simple, and sweet. You explain everything in a few minutes which is awesome. Very informative and helpful video. 🙏🏻 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great information Dr Berg! This happened to me, added loads of kale to a smoothie and two hours later I was so bloated. I’m going back to spinach, I might try adding kale gradually because of the great benefits! thank you 😊
Getting to the point in time where I don't think I can feel good anymore about eating anything, Dr.
👍
🍉 watermelon.......kimchi.....yogurt....
I hear you! It's time to grow your own food
Try following Dr Ken Berry advice. Don`t be surprised if in time all will be cured!
Every time I consume kale I notice my head is clear. I like it.
4.71 Million Subscribers and it keeps increasing with pertinent information in these videos without wasting my time with long jokes or telling me to subscribe for 20 mins. This guy gets it! I love his videos and his videos are the best thing I watch on youtube bar-none!
I just enjoy every video of dr Berg.
I agree... so informative and easy to digest... pardon the pun. I totally binge watch his videos.😄
And long intros! I HATE THAT!
5.26 million
good now its 8.8 mill subscribers
Now I know why I’m getting constipated with kale. Thanks your videos are so helpful
Tomorrow I was going to begin drinking lots of smoothies with kale in them. I'm so glad I watched this because I will now moderate the Kale drinking for some time as I have only eaten kale a few times in my life. Thanks Dr. Berg.
I find removing the stalks,then squeezing some lemon juice,few drops of Olive oil, and a tiny sprinkling of salt, then gently massaging fresh kale before eating makes it much easier to digest...it takes seconds to steam. Perfect!
I have been removing the stalks too and guess what ? My problems with it are solved!
@@otaviomoraes9941 So much Oxalates in stalks.
Eat it at it's organic form
Dr. Berg by far is the most thorough, easy to understand medical and keto expert on the net. His presentations are short enough and easy enough to take notes on. I am benefiting from his videos so much ! He has over 2,000 on UA-cam. I have been recommending him to my friends and loved ones. He's a NATIONAL TREASURE.
THANK YOU !
Yes. He tells the truth and does his research and ADMITS when he's said something wrong which almost no one does nowadays.
I agree! His wisdom has changed my life. He has me eating 7 - 8 cups of salad every day now.
There is alot of praise.. Are you his relative or promoter ?
I just enjoy learning from your videos, Dr Berg.
Spring mix with baby spinach and a few kale leaves...Top with MCT oil, pink salt, grated cheese, red wine vinegar and a bit of your favorite dressing. Maybe add some grilled shrimp? Bacon? ...or grilled chicken?
mmm ja
Now you just spoke my lingo😂
I chop it up in salad occasionally but appreciate yer "heads up" Dr. B. Tks! +Eric Berg
I blend about 3 cups of leafy greens in my smoothie and I rotate them each week...but I always like them mixed so I will get different varieties each week....this is my favorite 1st meal with my Avocado and blueberries....creamy delish!!!
Your the best Doc thank you for all the great information !
Greetings Dr.Berg. Thank you for the great info once again. Keep up the great work!
Thank you , now everything makes sense! I stared a Greek diet but got all the symptoms you mention in this video !
Wow Doc, I had a few kale shakes and got constipation... Thank you so much, I won't overdo it anymore.
Me too!!!! Wow!!!
I watch Dr. Berg’s videos every single day. I love them, they are just enjoyment
Every video amazes me - thank you so much.
I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR VIDEOS they are SHORT and to the POINT ~ wish MORE CONTENT CREATORS would follow your system.
Thank you, Dr. Berg, for all your great advice! I have watched many of your videos and have learned a lot. Just dawned on me I have never taken the time to say Thank You!!!
Thanks Amy:)
Amy B , I second that motion!
Marten Dekker Fiber is a "bulking" agent in the bowels...so yes too much can cause constipation...is can cause hyperkalemia which a symptom is constipation (even impaction if severe) I know it sounds counterintuitive...it did to me too b4 nursing school.
Kale actually helped relieve my constipation tremendously. I cook it fresh with half a teaspoon of olive oil, hymalyan sea salt and pepper. Just fry it for a 3-4 mins so it keeps its crunch and its lovely
You can eat it raw too right? No problem?
Kale is super healthy but if you are not used to a rich fibre food I would introduce it first in small amounts. Not only kale but all sorts of green leafy vegetables, broccoli, beets, beans lentils etc… as your gut flora adapts to the higher fibre content you’ll feel less bloated. :) just be persistent and always eat in small amount all types of vegetables and as you get used to it you can increase the quantity. :)
@@eliaspkay oh yes. You can make smoothies out of kale or eat it raw in salad. But because the leaf is a bit harder some people might not like it much. You can steam it to make it more tender.
It's bitter as he'll raw
@@coryvincun5424 there are plenty of other vegetables. If you don’t like the taste of the kale just go for something else. I mean kale is healthy but it’s not the only healthy food.
Great info Doc, I learned this the hard way!😳.....tfs.👍🏼
Yep, I am one of the 20% who can't digest kale. I was on a kale kick last summer and made a juice of kale, carrot, ganny smith apple, fennel and ginger. Well after 4 days of stomach indigestion I learned my lesson. No kale for me. I learned that kale is in the cruciferous family which I can't digest any of them as well. I take a probiotic but nothing was going to digest that kale.
I make my green shake with organic powdered wheatgrass juice. I use spinach in my quiche recipe and in salads, but No kale!
Extreme of anything is bad!!!
This is why I only eat a hand full of portion of kale
I started eating it recently. A few days ago I "discovered" kale chips and I ate a lot. It actaully had the opposite effect of constipation in me. Thanx for one more great video by the way.
Same with me
I like your honesty and continuous research Dr Berg
Love all you videos doc, love kale, love all leafy greens. I have kale, spinach, romaine lettuce every day big bowl of greens, yummy. And of course my broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, beans ect...Glad I subscribed.
Thanks for this video. I'd love to hear more about digestion. You focus on health first weight loss follows which I totally love. I've noticed many assume everyones digestion is fine and their heartburn is from spicy food or acne eczema or constipation is from not eating healthy foods and fiber. But maybe they have a digestive system thats out of wack. Anways love your knowledge sharing, keep it up. And the Adrenal body type supplements worked great for me... when I followed healthy diet. I'll get back on it, just gotta say no to that sugar, its so evil :(
I feel amazing eating kale almost every day Raw in a salad with spinacj or sauteed or steamed mixed with Bulgur!
Thank you so much for everything!🙏🏼
Great information!! Thankyou so much👏👏👍👍
Kale used to just be the garnish we'd decorate the buffet with back in the day...
Yes yes. We need some greenery on the scenery
😂 I always used to think they had to be fake
Eric your one of the best docs on the net. Thank you for being enlightened and sharing =)

I use kale in place of lettuce for my sandwiches.
Chiropactor*
Dont believe everything you hear even from a doctor they just read a lot everyone with a pea brain knows greens are healthy if they are organic.
"you're"
Thank you for pointing out the constipation/ bloating issues. If it were to happen to ME I might think that the kale was NOT the instigator.
Thank you once again for your insight!!!!
Got to love this guy :) ❤
Can u talk about greens that contains oxalates? Greens like Swiss chard are high in oxalates. For some this may cause problems. I've been looking into eating more edible weeds but many of them are high in oxalates. Because of this I find I can't consume much of them😞
Thank you Dr.Berg. Good job, well done
Thanks for all the great information which you share. God bless you.
On the bowl right now, been on Kale. No constipation or bloating here. I feel lighter. 🐖🕊
Alcott Chino Damn...that’s an image it will be hard to shift.....
Remember to wash your hands and disinfect your tablet when you are finished and by all means wear a mask.
@@tallandhandsome29 nice pun there, hard to shift.
WHAT IN GOD'S NAME SHOULD I EAT TO BE HEALTHY? Eliminated all the conventional meat and dairy, replaced them with organic staff. Eliminated all the grains and sugar, replaced them with green leafy vegetables. I have been chewing spinach and in one of your videos you said it contains oxalate, which causes kidney stones. Fine, switched over to Kale and now this video ...
I have been struggling with acne for many years and I know only one thing that does not cause the break outs - WATER. Don't take me wrong, I don't mind drinking water but you know ... I need some food as well. I am 22 years of age, don't drink alcohol, don't smoke, swim, practice judo, workout. I AM A HUMAN BEING FOR GOD'S SAKE AND I WANT TO EAT LIKE ONE AND STAY HEALTHY.
LOL, not sure if you are serious but I am SO feeling you with this comment. I'm like GEEZ I don't know what to eat anymore or where to even start with all the different info out here. Don't get me wrong I do enjoy the shared info but it can become overwhelming for a beginner like me who is trying to start a healthy lifestyle regime. I'm just saying lol
He is clueless. Not a nutritionist, just a chiropractor.
No Name Well, I personally don't believe he's clueless because I don't know the time and energy he puts in studying the info shared:). Him being a Chiropractor doesn't eliminate his knowledge and intelligence on knowing what he knows regarding health and nutrition :). I'm sure he have helped alot of people. :)
There is no simple answer to healthy eating.. whatever you eat there will be healthy and unhealthy effects on your body. You can change this ratio by changing your diet. However it's impossible to completely eliminate unhealthy effects. So stop worrying too much. Just keep your diet as healthy as possible.
Alex Thanks!!!!
Thanks doc.i have watch for awhile now I have really changed up diet and I feel awesome thanks keep going a fan
Hi Dr. I'm diabetic on metphormene and insulin shots 4 x daily. i have iodine allergy so what do you think i could eat to replace kale? i was thinking spinach or ?.. any suggestions? thanks in advance, and great videos you do, they help a lot!
Thanks bro, been eating Kale everyday for three months straight. And have had issues sleeping because of extreme bloating and constipation. Gonna stop eating Kale now and see if it helps.
Rotate your vegetables, variety is always good. Juicing them is also help full, save the fibers in the freezer to make soup with, or add when making bread, looks rather interesting with little bits of green and carrot bits as well. 🍞🍞🍞🥖🥖🥯
Only the juice.
You're obviously not chewing your cud properly, yes ?
been eating 4 cups of kale for almost a week, feel great!
Mix it up and eat other greens as well.
You sill keeping it up or did you,give up yet.
I stopped this 1.5 years ago, i do raw foods now.
@@ChristIsLord229 that's awesome
@@ChristIsLord229 raw ?
Hi Dr Berg
Thanks for sharing I to love kale and parsley together . I also love fennel are there any health benefits on fennel I would like to add this to my salads as well
I appreciate your pinpoint content I don’t have time for long drawn out nonsense thank you
I don't know if this is normal Dr Berg, but Kale gives me a massive headache. I have tried it over and over again both cooked or raw and it still gives the same results. A headache that lasts for days. Could it be that its too powerful for me. Chocolate does the same thing to me also.
Thank you! Finally! could you also talk about how RAW kale vs. COOKED kale ALTERS THE THYROID NEGATIVELY?????
I'm glad I watched this. I just cooked 2lbs of creamy kale (butter, garlic, onion, coconut milk, heavy cream, salt and nutmeg). Gotta switch up to creamy spinach next week. Thanks Dr. 😁
Always good on your information Dr. how about kale cream soup?
love kale.
I think moderation is the key.
My garden produces enough kale anymore I’m make kale bouquet arrangement centerpieces 🤪
That makes sense. I did feel constipated when I added kale to my morning shake. And I always thought constipation was because of a lack of fiber
That's diarrhea
You can get constipated from too much fibre for sure. In fact it can be the leading cause of constipation. If your having problems with your gut, make sure to thoroughly research the difference between soluble had insoluble fibre. 9 out of 10 GP's will just tell you "eat more fibre" without having a clue of what they are talking about. You need to speak to an expert for real advice or research your own. A GP is like your local mechanic. They can change your oil but you wouldn't trust them with your Rolls Royce. Your body is your Rolls Royce 😊
@@alexallen4138 most people treat their body like a lawn mower.
Very true, lol. I am learning.
I'm in love with this doc, period.
You are exactly right - I eat the proper foods - but I tend to get constipated. Introducing spinach into my diet seems to balance the problem.
Would integrating fermented vegetables and ACV into the diet helps with better digestion of kale/ too much fiber?
Thank you so much for your videos Dr Berg, I’m so grateful that I’ve learned so much knowledge from you. Best wishes to you and your team, whoever that’s behind the scene that works so hard to keep this channel going for everyone!
Juice it. Take most of the fiber out ,add back what works for you, Berg is on point.
Thank you! I have been drinking kale smoothies the last few days and was constipated. Which totally baffled me! Lol! Now I know to go slower with Kale. Which is fine, cause I love spinach and other greens in my smoothies! My body is not used to Kale AT ALL! Again, thank you for publicly sharing your knowledge and experience!
Try cashew and cockroach milk instead.
I totally got bloated from juicing kale with other veggies but didn't know why. Thank u.
One the best way to fix those two problems is to steam it rather than eating it raw. Especially if it is affecting your thyroid.
Cycle between spinach, collard, kale, lettuce, parsley and other green leaves.
I always steam a bit and it even tastes better.
Ben Hayat I was hoping not to hear that. I'm a trucker trying to eat raw healthy non refrigerated foods. Do you have any advice for me sir?
Bleedinggums roberts;
Raw kale may not affect everyone the same way.Try it with small amount to start with. IT IS the best green vegie with lots of minerals, vitamins and even protein. So, I'd not brush it off.
Or you can use Swiss chard and Spinach. These are my main vegies.
when you are home, work up to more raw. you can always pack a cooler with salads and juices, especially if you have an electric one you can plug into in your truck. you can juice and freeze, then put in cooler and will last a few days at least. otherwise, snacks like raw nuts and seed that have been soaked and dehydrated are good. takes prep, but worth the effort. try to focus on small changes otherwise you get overloaded. and stay hydrated!
I have hashimoto so kale isn't good for me?
Oh no, and here I was eating even more kale to try and rid the constipation.
Not fan of kale , but love adding parsley , lots of mint , ginger , nutritional yeast and a bit of berries and olive oil, makes a good meal . Thank you Dr .
Thank you very much for this video Dr Berg 🙋🏻. Means It's good for my hyperthyroidism, right?👌
yes it makes me bloated and constipated. Also it makes me very tired!
Also, need to make sure you are drinking plenty of water. Can't just simply load up on fiber.
Yeah, fiber can actually makes things worse in some cases if you don't drink enough water.. like if you have chronic constipation and take lots of fiber, but don't get enough water.
Thanks for the timely information!!!
Most welcome!
thanks for this Sir..💞
Ive been smothering kale in hot butter. Makes it taste better, go down easier and I believe digest better.
I like to eat the Southern Green mixtures that include spinach, turnips, and collard greens. My mom used to boil them to death until I'm sure there was no nutrients left in them, but I cook them in avocado oil until they just turn color.
Dr. Berg, how can we know if it is depleting iodine? How much seaweed to add? Thank you
Thanks for this post. I eat a good amount of raw kale and juiced & I stay bloated. I’m buying some sea kelp this week.
I find that cooking the greens in butter and olive oil and some ACV or balsamic helps a lot. I can’t consume a raw salad as easily.
My wife and I enjoy dicing garlic and onions and lightly cooking in olive oil, then adding fresh kale, a pinch of salt, and fresh cracked black pepper then cooking the kale just until the color brightens.
Marvelous side dish.
what about the high levels of oxylates that kale ( and spinach) contain that are a problem to certain ( many ) people
Apparently kale is very low oxolate unlike spinach which is very high.
Kale is low oxylate
What is the problem with oxalates? I don't know if that is good for bad but I love spinach more than anything else.
I learn alot from the comments/people's experience. Too much coconut oil and magnesium causes liquid stools! I didn't know that.
Hi dr Berg, aren’t you concerned about Thallium? Kale is the best at pulling out thallium from the soil. And it doesn’t matter if it’s organic. Have you ever been tested? Could you please make a video on this topic? I love kale 🥬
Had a kale salad for dinner and was so proud of myself bc I never liked the stuff but watched ur videos saying how good it is for u lol now I’m bloated😂😂😂 and I figured u had a video about it and here it is…😂😂😂
I really wish everyone would STOP talking about weight loss on any terms, just talk about HEALTH!!!!!
If you're healthy, you'll be the right weight. If you're not the right weight, you're not healthy. Good advice.
Fck n A. Agreed
I get mixed up with this cup thing too. I just fill my nutra bullet up with spinach and soya milk and have this every day plus a kale one too . I think that is what Dr Berg recommends but I have no idea if this counts as one cup or two or whatever . It seems about right to me anyhow and not excessive .
I just made a large kale smoothie and spent the next day throwing it up and felt like I had the flu! Thanks for the video
Why the heck did I get a McDonald’s commercial before fish vid smh. I have to make some adjustments to my settings
Install; duck duck go and block all that 💩!
@@aarone1777 I have duck duck go. That doesn’t block youtube adds.
The same thing happens to me I’m constantly looking up healthy things online and I get bombarded with McDonald’s adds it’s annoying
Must be UA-cam.?... 🥺
Massage your kale before putting dressing on it--massaging the kale leaves breaks up the fiber in it and make it easier to eat and digest. Of course, remove and discard all the thick, hard stems.
ExtraordinaryLiving that’s hot
Great tips and simple advice. Got to the point and not lengthy. Love that. Thank you.
HI Dr. Berg. what about laxatives for being constipated and did you say make spinach shakes instead of Kale shakes?
Kale constipates meeee OMG and I'm stalled on the scale since adding kale, wtf dude. Definitely gonna go back to spinach.
yeaa for some people it doesnt work, you just have to try different things, and see what works best for you, i cant eat kale either, it bloats me like a giant balloon, and also tastes disgusting to me.
Every few day's add Kale freeze it. Mix it with spinach.
I tried juicing my kale... All I can say is it helped my gallbladder pain after starting K2 and D3. I had to put a stevia in it... It was good!😀
Wow. Just wow.
I will lose it seriously! Everyday something come up. I make a smoothie everyday with collard green, kale, flaxseed, apple, parsley, basil, mint, carrot and then afternoon i use hemp seed, chia seeds, avocado, garlic, and all those organic with almond or coconut milk and i don't know what to do anymore cause one day eat kale the next day eat spinach. Then oh no, don't eat beets cause lots of starch no no apple is bad cucumber is good🤔🙄😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣this is not to Dr. Berg, i am just venting out guys, what should we eat pls tell me plssss😣😣😣
Zeynep Busbee I think what your doing is awesome! I took a snap pic of it so I can copy you. 👍🏻 it’s basically all in moderation...I had this friend who I told that garlic is so good for you. Over the next month she ate so much garlic..I’m talking like 6-8 raw cloves a day! She was having massive stomach problems...she cut back to 1-3 cloves a WEEK and her skin is amazing and she feels great.
That all being said..I bought a pre packaged mixed greens on 2 different occasions in the last few weeks and I get Huge stomach ache. Something in it is bothering me..I don’t know what. It has a host of different greens. Think I’ll stick to spinach or kale.
@@aWatchmanOnTheWall thank you so much. I make different versions, i started Whey Protein from wholefoods and will post you the name of it. I have athlete friends who goes to Olympicd and there should be certain amount of vitamins in and they said thats the one I am using is good. Will send u the name of it. And will add more recipes. Stay tune👌
I feel the same way. It’s like wow life was easier when I just ate whatever the heck I wanted
Thank you as always Dr. Berg! But what about collard greens?
Dr. Berg. I have been trying to lose weight but somehow the process is extremely slow. I am comfortable with the juice diet. What do you recommend?
I cooked Kale yesterday trying to incorporate it in my diet and omg....i was in pain all day and all night, my stomach is just round and sensitive I am so dang bloated and uncomfortable i can't even fathom eating another thing today despite being so hungry 😭😭😭
Is it just cooked kale that does that or do other vegetable like broccoli do that too?
@@curtisstephens4482 for me it seems to be Kale so far and red kidney beans. Broccoli I'm fine, black beans I'm also fine
Hell, THAT'S WHY I'M HERE 💩💩💩
Me too. I'm fucking tripping kale. Belly is rock hard
Love kale 🤗
Thank you so much.. I appreciate all your work ... you are a blessing ... and a jewel ... I watch all your videos and intermitten fasting ...

Dr. Berg, I'm high fat keto and would love to know what you put in this kale smoothie you drink that won't spike insulin.
..first internet video i've seen that expresses the potential negatives of Kale. I get sooooo locked up with Kale.
...even cooked? (2yrs later I know)

How do we know that sea kelp does not have Fukushima radiation in it?
1955dmb Atlantic ocean kelp. from Maine
Don't eat it if it glows in the dark.
Test it with a Geiger counter
They test everything made in and shipped out of Fukushima.
1955dmb, I was thinking the same exact thing!!
💙 My insides love kale; I eat a pound a week. Sometimes in salads mixed with romaine, etc & sometimes in a smoothie mixed with chia seeds and berries. But I did give my body time to get accustomed to digesting it. You need different enzymes and microbes for each type of food.
Thanks again 👍
