Dr Berg, thank you for your videos. I am a female, 61 Y/O, 5'4" tall at 150#, and I had been having weight issues since Menopause. I just recently found your videos and had studied them quite intensely. I then began to initiate the protocol that you advise...and within 2 weeks of changing my eating habits, I went from the 150 pounds down to 144 in, what seemed to be, no time at all. I am still working on this and am hoping to get down to my pre-menopausal weight of 128, which is where I have always felt my best. I am in great health, with no meds to take at this point in my life. I have to say THANK YOU SO Much! And for you people out there that are not getting results, then A: your cheating, or B: your not following instructions very well, or you have other issues going on. Get off your drugs, and start eating good (organic) and healthy. Just start moving, whether your walking, or exercising, you will (should) see results.
Eggs , chicken, spinach mmm some times cheese and yogurt . I drink protien shakes twice a day with bananas. My first shake in the morning tho is with just water on an empty stomach . You just find what works for u and what ur body responds too.
There is a lot of things Dr. Berg i agree with and some that i don't. This is one of them. The high protein diet is critical, especially if you have a high intensity weight training regimen. Also, a high protein diet will aid fat loss and will NOT convert into fat. That process is not a favorable process and is more difficult to achieve compared to converting carbohydrates into fats. Meats do provide sources of vitamins and minerals but not as abundant as they are in veggies, which I consume in high amounts. Also calcium deficiencies can easily be retained by eating dairy products which also have a lot of protein. I personally eat 1.5g of protein per pound of body weight. Not only has research shown this to be a great number to maximize gains in muscle mass and strength, but it also helps shed off body fat even further. P.S. 3 Whole eggs a day :)
Nirav Surati hey. So I'm starting to get really into my fitness journey. I'm working out and doing weight training. So I'm trying to learn about protein. What your saying in finding out to be very true. But this is for active people. But I have a question more for my husband. I want to get him eating more healthy. But he doesn't really workout. He isn't a couch potato but he works outside so he comes home to tired to work out. My question is. Should I also get him in such a high protein diet with me? Or not? I don't want him to lose weight as he is already skinny. I'd like him to kinda gain some muscle and just be normally healthy, not loyal king about having an athletic body with gains and all that. Just talking about normal healthy diet. What do you suggest for some one like him? How much protein does he need? I'm deff going to involve more veggies in our meals. But I'm concerned and confused on what to do for proteins for him? Should I give him a bunch and maybe he can get a bit thicker but in a healthy way. Not fat. But a little more muscle? Or will the protein turn into fat with him because he doesn't work out and lift weights?
I like most of the information you have out that I have seen but unprocessed animal protein does provide a huge amount of vitamins, especially all of the B vitamins. To say that protein does not provide vitamins and minerals is misleading. Also animal protein also provide some minerals, such as selenium found in oysters but I agree that potassium is a key mineral that lacks in high-protein diets, along with magnesium. For the record, I am an advocate of eating non-starchy veggies.
sir, you said that 3-4 ounces protein per day is good and on the other side ,you said that one doesn't need 100 grams protein per day. both are equal amounts. kindly clarify.
Wow thank you for your free quiz! I am praying for you always. You're one of the few who has helped me learn. You teach very clearly. I thank God for you!
Sometimes I will have a protein day, liver, nuts, fish (wish I could afford some good fresh fish, locally caught) and also fond organic lived, especially chickens. I go through a lot of fresh spinach too.. Tinned sardines on toast is a staple for me and have noticed mental performance better when I eat some protein for breakfast. Skin elasticity better too, plus I drink around 3 litres water daily. Wasn't there an experiment carried out by two doctors who fed a man pure protein for a year, after the war?
What’s considered a high protein diet? You said 3 to 4 ounces of protein which one ounce is about 28 g so 100 g of protein wouldn’t be considered high protein, correct?
I appreciate the free information!! I agree with one of the replies that one diet does not fit all, I have also said that. I just recently did a hair analysis to see what I need in my diet. I'm not sure if they do it in the USA but they really should!!
3 eggs,3 bacon,3 pork chops,+ 1 lb frozen green beans eaten today.55 yo,6'4",185lbs.I would give up 10 years to be able to enjoy eating big meat every day!
Dr. Berg, I follow your videos and advice religiously thank you for the information that you put out here. My family and I are a beneficially we thank you. I am into resistance weight training but not on a professional level and i was wondering, whats your take on BCAA supplementation . Would you recommend it?
Your asking the wrong guy he knows nothing about weight training and supplementation. What has he really done for your familly this con artist that you are so greatful for ? For starters look at his flabby physique. Second of all he is a chiropractor. I suggest you watch Leroy Colbert who is 82 years old for good advice my friend.
Totally agree the guy is talking out of his ass. These are extremists that at the end of the day want to sell you there supplements. High protein is imperative if you workout. The 100 grams that he says its way too much for the liver then whats a good amount 40 grams ? Not even enough for a little mice to eat. We need to eat he says over 4700 mg of potassium a day equivalent of 10 cups of salad. Wh ois going to have 10 cups of salad every day ?? So he recomends his wheat grass juice powder that you will get from only one scoop. A con artist. Uses fear to hook you and sell you his stuff. Like u said there is no proof whatsoever or legitimate studies to show that. A fucken quack thats what he is. The guy is chiropractor he should stick to it.
What if you lift weights. You need more protein. Also fruit is natural sugar and healthy. I agree with the pasta, rice etc... But not an occasional fruit.
So I've been building my body with high intensity training causing my appetite to drastically increase. I consumed 180gs of protein without even realizing, I weight 160lbs. I usually aim for around 140gs of protein to build muscle. Is this unhealthy??? I also eat LOTS of greens like spinach, kale, and broccoli.
Eric York our bodies don't require as much protein as we're lead to believe. Try out organic pumpkin seed powder. Protein intake is largely determined by ones height. The post workout elixir I consume typically consists of pumpkin seed powder, spirulina and nutritional yeast and usually comes under 30g of protein. My recovery is just fine.
Hi bro I have just started a similar plan of 1g protein for every pound and I see you have done the same. Did you have any problems with your kidney and liver?
I realize this is an older video, but I'm just now seeing it. Does this quiz still exist? I saw an old Facebook post with the link, but it doesn't work.
I tried the quiz on Android phone and it said the URL was wrong due to JavaScript. How to get around this? Dr Berg, do you have anything explaining balanced meals, how much of what goes on a plate? And in a day? I never learned this.
Meats, except fish, can be difficult for my body to digest sometimes. Chicken is not bad but can be a problem sometimes too. Milk (with protein) gives me gas and run me to the bathroom.
Nick DiPietro if you have positive nitrogen test that means ur body is getting enough protein to build muscles 💪, you Do not need these excessive protein
Has anyone else having problem with plant proteins. When I do plant proteins I seem to have lower abdomen pain and just noticed peeing blood after workouts. (almond butter, hulled hemp seeds, mushrooms) anyone have ideas? Nothing over 100g protein a day.
They should start doing videos about instictive dieting and gut feeling I aim for 4meals a day morning fats and proteins peak of the day carbs fats and protein and evening proteins ..around 30g of protein per meal 160g carbs on training days and 80on off days and 120g of fat on off days and 80on training days...will do report after few weeks this just experiment and trying to follow my gut feeling.
Thanks for the video, but now I am confused. In this video you said that high protein diet turn into fat, but in other videos you said that high protein diet turn into glucose 🤔
This "doctor" doesn't seem to understand that we bodybuilders actually eat shit load of vegetables especially green ones and also fruits when it's good to take some. We also supplement our vitamin and mineral intake to the max. Naturals like myself actually need to be as healthy as we can to maximize our muscle growth.
Eric Berg In this video you say you recommend 3 to 4 ounces of protein, but later on you criticise that having 100 grams of protein is bad. I wouldn't say 100 g daily is bad. PS: 3 to 4 ounces is about 100 grams
That's not what he said. There are a lot of internet myths telling people to eat an x amount of protein per pound of body weight and some say that you should eat 100 grams of protein a day, some say 150, some even go as high as 300. These numbers are arbitrary and not really based in science. More like one person sucks a number out of their thumb, and the next guys sucks out another, and on, and on it goes. The reality is that everyone is different. An active person can handle 100 grams easily, whereas a person with a sedentary lifestyle cannot. Then we have the different genders that absorb differently also. But everything aside, 100 grams of protein is heavy. I know that when I have my bread and cheese, which I prefer to down with milk, that I'm stuffed half way. I'm more sedentary now, but years ago when I was more active, I would eat more than that with even more room left in my stomach.
Protein can be converted by the body into glucose for energy, but it takes twice as much effort as converting carbohydrates or fats into glucose. The extra effort translates into fewer calories available
Michelle Larsen beans aren't that high in protein, actually. although they do contain fiber and other vitamins and minerals that are beneficial. Organic Pumpkin seed protein powder is an amazing option.
The nutritional quiz wouldn't work for me - I did it but can't access the results. It just keeps saying 'All data loading' and never going further. Tried refreshing and waiting but about an hour later I still have nothing.
What are your thoughts on Whey protein? I use an organic whey protein isolate without sweeteners. I take a serving after my strength training workouts.workouts. That is about 25 grams of protein. The idea of eating 1-2 grams of protein per pound of body weight has come from old school bodybuilders, its still followed religiously by some athletes and gym rats today. I don't eat THAT much protein however.
Dear Dr Berg, l need to do a LRD for a gastric bypass. Can you please do a vlog on a healthly option for this. There are lots of us going thru this and it would be a great help.
Great info Doc. Im just starting to eat healthy after 15 years of not caring really. According to some quizes Ive taken I am a protein metabolic type. Im going to start eating protein in 4oz to 6oz 2:1 to carbs from vegetables and heathly fats like omega 3 and 6. Im cutting all white bread and starches and eating mainly whole grains like spelt, barley and oats. Also cutting out all sugars like colas, processed foods. The only sugar I will consume will be in the form of raw honey in small amounts. Also will be taking one to two Rainbow light multivitamins a day to help with my intake of vitamins and minerals. Will be drinking mainly water and occasionally fresh brewed teas like cinnamon or oregano teas sweetened with a little raw honey. I will only be eating certain fruits a few times a week. Any will be eating certain nuts like almonds and walnuts 2 to 3 times a weeks. In your Professional opinion do you think that this is a heathly diet? Im a blood type O and need to lose about 100 lbs. Any input would be greatly appreciated thanks and I just subscribed.
He is soo right I decided to have some curried chicken last night and the next morning I did not do my morning toilet. when I did go to the toilet it was like sheep (you know what I mean) Today I have decided to go veggie.
Thanks Doc!!!! ***Dr Berg he's our man, if he can't tell us the truth no one can*** I'm eating 6 to 9 oz of high quality meat red daily, along with a lotta Veggies, thanks to your input. Typically I am eating raw dark greens, or cooked squash w carrots celery etc. I'll often switch a day out for 5+ eggs, rather than meat. I also find a can of Sardines every so often to be a positive. Also, IM is a fantastic idea!!!! i LOVE it!! Packaged foods SUCK, and are unhealthy as well!!!! Thanks again Doc!!!! ***Dr Berg he's our man, if can't tell the truth no one can***
The human body is designed to be predominantly fruitarian. If you're looking to increase potassium levels then get plant sterol trace minerals, Swiss chard, red/burro bananas and white beans.
The secret is not getting fat in the first place. If you have a “regular” diet that’s carb biased, you would need to be pretty much starving all the time to have any serious weight loss.
What Bout protein powders for muscle building that have a high number of grams per serving, is that also a stress on the liver even if it's powder form of protein? What's the right amount of grams to have a day for a 23 year weighing 167?
I wonder if seafood contains less protein than beef or pork. I have a problem digesting protein so I opt for seafood medleys sardines and that sort. I suppose the kidney And liver looks at that all the same. I don't know what proteins are gentle to eat on my kidney.
Dr Berg I must ask does a high protein bodybuilder diet cause alot of ammonia and then as a result possible encephalopathy? Because there's alot of even natural guys out there comusing close to 200 grams a day for years etc. Competitive bodybuilders on Test, HGH, Insulin etc might be on 300+ a day its worring! Thanks
Mr. Dr. berg, i am an athlete and thus i train often and hard, so how much protein do i actually need to build muscle and recover fully? i weigh 220 pounds 12 percent body fat :)
obviously geared towards the average person who doesn't take fitness serious. Fitness enthousiast, like me, can easily put together a meal plan that has 50% of you kcal in protein, and still get enough vitamins, minerals and fibers through dark green vegetables such as broccoli, spinach etc...I can even throw a banana in there for the extra pottasium while still maintaining a fairly low carb consumption. The thing is that I wouldn't recommend a very-high protein diet for a long time, and keep it for like 2 weeks before switching out. Also an increased water consumption is paired with the higher intake of protein. Also, keep it with a caloric deficit, so things as converting protein into fat isn't likely to happen. my 2cents.
very well put I'm right with you on this I exercise daily with a high protein diet of 1g per 1 pound of body weight, very high water intake about 2 gallons a day with dark vegetables for sides with my main being fish, chicken or steak
If you're more of a protein powder person, 1 oz equals 28 grams. A jar of protein powder will usually tell you the amount of protein per serving in grams.
wrong again, there are no studies, journals, tests etc. that say high protein is bad for you if you have healthy organs. unless i misunderstood you, fat doesnt increase your blood sugar, sugar does. our bodies burn fat for energy and...oh nevermind, you're the professional...
Dr berg for instance if im on keto but I eat 30 ounce steak but consume lots of veggies also and take ur cruciferous superfoods and other vitamins daily is that ok? I do strictly keto I jus eat alot of protein....steak and chicken usually ... With lots of green veggies

Yes.... it works

Also fruit is natural sugar and healthy. I agree with the pasta, rice etc... But not an occasional fruit.
Yup but only if it's avocado or olives
Great information! Always looking forward to your videos!
Unfortunately, the result of the quiz in giving out a problem link - I've tried in several different platforms.
What I always hear from jacked bodybuilders is that they eat about 1g protein per 1lbs body weight (2.2g per kg body weight)
He is right. We dont need more then 9 oz of protien a day. People are crazy eating all that
Plsss do the video on why cramp occurs
Not enough potassium probably.

@Brennan Dr. Berg said “ it is ok if ur liver is healthy and not damaged” That is not the case with you.
Seeing all the carnivore haters in the comments lol.
This is the problem with people that are trying to push a seperate point through a hot topic...
Focus on real studies and realistic circumstances
Eric Berg In this video you say you recommend 3 to 4 ounces of protein, but later on you criticise that having 100 grams of protein is bad. I wouldn't say 100 g daily is bad. PS: 3 to 4 ounces is about 100 grams

Protein can be converted by the body into glucose for energy, but it takes twice as much effort as converting carbohydrates or fats into glucose. The extra effort translates into fewer calories available
3-4 oz a day or meal? How do you figure protein like eggs into the ounces?

Michelle Larsen beans aren't that high in protein, actually. although they do contain fiber and other vitamins and minerals that are beneficial. Organic Pumpkin seed protein powder is an amazing option.

Will be drinking mainly water and occasionally fresh brewed teas like cinnamon or oregano teas sweetened with a little raw honey. I will only be eating certain fruits a few times a week. Any will be eating certain nuts like almonds and walnuts 2 to 3 times a weeks. In your Professional opinion do you think that this is a heathly diet? Im a blood type O and need to lose about 100 lbs. Any input would be greatly appreciated thanks and I just subscribed.
Frank Faz Follow the type 0 diet. Dr dadamo has far more insight than this dr who just regurgitates stuff online and is trendy at that time.

He is soo right I decided to have some curried chicken last night and the next morning I did not do my morning toilet. when I did go to the toilet it was like sheep (you know what I mean)
Today I have decided to go veggie.
What if you’re highly active in the gym. Weightlifting/cardio and you want to preserve your muscle? Don’t u need high protein?

I eat a keto diet, with lots of leafy greens and protein (fish and other seafood mostly? and fats
thanks but i cannot find a nutritional quiz in the links
thank you great video
Thanks Doc!!!! ***Dr Berg he's our man, if he can't tell us the truth no one can*** I'm eating 6 to 9 oz of high quality meat red daily, along with a lotta Veggies, thanks to your input. Typically I am eating raw dark greens, or cooked squash w carrots celery etc. I'll often switch a day out for 5+ eggs, rather than meat. I also find a can of Sardines every so often to be a positive. Also, IM is a fantastic idea!!!! i LOVE it!! Packaged foods SUCK, and are unhealthy as well!!!! Thanks again Doc!!!! ***Dr Berg he's our man, if can't tell the truth no one can***
Ur farts must smell like rotten eggs ….. I feel like your stretching Uranus
Dates are high in potassium as well as calcium
+Zulficar hamid Yea, but the amount is sugar is too much, NOT recommended.
+Fitness Treat but its paleo
Doomtrigger I wouldn't take it, it seems more logical to ignore high-sugar fruits, whether or not it s natural.
Doomtrigger Obviously, from fat loss perspective.
The human body is designed to be predominantly fruitarian. If you're looking to increase potassium levels then get plant sterol trace minerals, Swiss chard, red/burro bananas and white beans.
Wonder what serving of broccoli would counter the liver issues
The secret is not getting fat in the first place.
If you have a “regular” diet that’s carb biased, you would need to be pretty much starving all the time to have any serious weight loss.
What Bout protein powders for muscle building that have a high number of grams per serving, is that also a stress on the liver even if it's powder form of protein? What's the right amount of grams to have a day for a 23 year weighing 167?
Too much animal protein long term is a bad idea....I know ..
Says ....Page not found....under nutrient analysis. !!!!!
Basically people who smoke...don’t even try this
can we use protien in pils

is it OK if you have a IBS on whey protein?
I wonder if seafood contains less protein than beef or pork. I have a problem digesting protein so I opt for seafood medleys sardines and that sort. I suppose the kidney And liver looks at that all the same. I don't know what proteins are gentle to eat on my kidney.
He should do a video on PMSF
Both of the quizzes get errors just before the end before submission. Did anyone manage to get around it to the end? Thank you :)
I have no appetite afater using higher amount of B protein shake . What is your advice for me to get appetite.
This is Eric before eric tufano is born.
Dr Berg I must ask does a high protein bodybuilder diet cause alot of ammonia and then as a result possible encephalopathy? Because there's
alot of even natural guys out there comusing close to 200 grams a day for years etc. Competitive bodybuilders on Test, HGH, Insulin etc might
be on 300+ a day its worring! Thanks
What if I am a weightlifter or body builder.
then don't listen to this guy, lol, go look up juggernaut fitness
What would be considered HIGH?
over 8 ounces
Mr. Dr. berg, i am an athlete and thus i train often and hard, so how much protein do i actually need to build muscle and recover fully? i weigh 220 pounds 12 percent body fat :)
SamuraiMarcelKibagami Protein intake depends upon ones height, first and foremost. We don't need as much protein as we've been lead to believe.
obviously geared towards the average person who doesn't take fitness serious. Fitness enthousiast, like me, can easily put together a meal plan that has 50% of you kcal in protein, and still get enough vitamins, minerals and fibers through dark green vegetables such as broccoli, spinach etc...I can even throw a banana in there for the extra pottasium while still maintaining a fairly low carb consumption. The thing is that I wouldn't recommend a very-high protein diet for a long time, and keep it for like 2 weeks before switching out. Also an increased water consumption is paired with the higher intake of protein. Also, keep it with a caloric deficit, so things as converting protein into fat isn't likely to happen. my 2cents.
MysticDragons Even an athlete doesn't require a lot of protein.
Whatever,Buff!
very well put I'm right with you on this I exercise daily with a high protein diet of 1g per 1 pound of body weight, very high water intake about 2 gallons a day with dark vegetables for sides with my main being fish, chicken or steak
Charles Schoenbaum you'll have worms if you don't boil and fry your meats
This depends on what you mean by "a lot of protein". Most say .6-.9 grams per lb of bodyweight.
Thank you dr
Is this a general prognosis or does this relate to athletes whom are actively doing bodyweight or free weight exercises?
Dwyght Yorke We don't require as much protein as we're lead to believe, athlete or not
I'm so confused. And wtf is 3-4 ounces pf protein? This totally goes against every youtube video about weight loss. Argh 😐
Bunny Bunny you buy a food scale, put meat on top until it says 3 oz or 4 oz, and then you eat just that much ;)
If you're more of a protein powder person, 1 oz equals 28 grams. A jar of protein powder will usually tell you the amount of protein per serving in grams.
Andrea Andrea exactly the info I needed, thanks! (:
wrong again, there are no studies, journals, tests etc. that say high protein is bad for you if you have healthy organs. unless i misunderstood you, fat doesnt increase your blood sugar, sugar does. our bodies burn fat for energy and...oh nevermind, you're the professional...
Egg whites are a light cholesterol free protein source not hard on liver
But dawg when ur sayin that calcium and potassium deficiency Greek yogurt has calcium and a lot of protein without fat.
Dr berg for instance if im on keto but I eat 30 ounce steak but consume lots of veggies also and take ur cruciferous superfoods and other vitamins daily is that ok? I do strictly keto I jus eat alot of protein....steak and chicken usually ... With lots of green veggies
