Since nothing is edible anymore I stopped eating the day this video was released. I now weigh a mere 18 lbs. It's cool because I can travel the world for free just by stepping outside and letting the wind carry me away. Even better is when I turn sideways no one can see me! 2024 Update: After getting caught in the updraft of an F5 tornado I'm now in the midst of inner planetary travel. I seem to be headed toward Venus. Maybe one of the other planets or their moons will have something I can eat without worry. I'll keep you posted. It's a bit chilly up here.
That's right - me too. I love playing Hide and Seek. All I need is a broom to hide behind and nobody thinks to look there. It has now go to the point whereby - so as not to freak out my friends - I have to drink a cup of black coffee to cast a shadow.

Grow indoors in a grow tent with non GMO seeds. I saved seed from produce I buy from local greenhouse ,they only use non GMO and are organic . Fabulous. I would be very sceptical on meat right now, especially chicken . The powers that be inject horrific things . Also there is Lab grown meat being pushed now and it's right beside the real stuff and you cannot hardly tell unless you ask the Holy Spirit.
Very easy to avoid all these things. Just cook from scratch. Avoid ALL prosessed/poisonous foods. I have cooked from scratch all my life and at 70 years young, have never taken any meds at all and so far have no health issues. But I still listen to this doctor. God bless from the U.K.
I remember as a child I've never had problems with dairy, gluten or anything really, no allergies whatsoever. Then, a few years ago, I began to have digestive issues, now literally everything makes me feel bloated, I developed GERD, IBS, an enlarged liver (even though I am skinny and never drink) etc. Additionally, I also got hand eczema, which refuses to heal no matter what I do. Eczema is slowly starting to appear on my face as well. I've been thinking a lot about these things, and why I did not have any problems with food or my digestion as a kid. I came to the conclusion that all these big companies must inject food items with god knows what and that is what we have an allergic reaction to. That is what our stomach cannot handle. I understand that there are people with real allergies, who would die if they ate foods containing peanuts for example, but food intolerances...I swear it is because our bodies cannot tolerate all these perservatives, colorings and whatever else they put in food that is not even indicated on the label.
I developed skin rashes too. They have moved around in different places in my body. I now have it in my arm. Was once on my hand really bad. I cut out so much and only eat keto. Still have the rash and I’m thinking it’s the cheese/dairy. I hope not cause I love cheese, cream cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream.
Dude! I had the eczema reaction from consuming cereal! Yes cereal! The classic kind of cereal! It was in my hands and feet and it burned and itched like heck and it took forever for my body to detox.
What I have gathered as a common denominator from all these videos is as below: 1. Avoid as much as possible white sugar 2. Eat fresh fruit and vegetables - cooked or uncooked, whichever is possible for you. 3. Use ghee, butter in moderation, butdo use them. 4. Moderate amount of soaked nuts and seeds are good. 5. Do not get into knowing chemical names like maltodextrin etc... Just avoid processed foods as much as possible including cookies, biscuits. Make them at home if you want it. 6. Go to a doctor if any severe acute issue or you have tried some home remedies for at least a day or two. 7. Hydrate youself with at least 6 to 8 glasses of water daily
Great video and content! Thanks for all you do, Dr. Berg! 1. Soy Protein Isolates 2. Fructose 3. Vegetable Fats 4. Whey Protein Powder 5. Maltodextrin 6. Aflatoxins 7. MSG
"Anytime you consume something that's refined out of the normal complex that nature is designed, it comes with a package." Well, this sums up everything we eat today and what we suffer as consequences. Thank you Dr. Berg, please continue to educate the world.
Nice. My general rule....if it is prepackaged it's probably not good! It's not that difficult. It's been several years now since I learned from this guy and a few others. I no longer have the problems I used to have. I am getting on in years and enjoying food is wicked important. I eat well. And I cook for poor kids in the neighborhood!!;
Thank you for all your videos. I'm new and trying to watch all of them and trying to fix my legs. Swelling, brusing, and itching. I've had blood test and been to 2 drs. That dont know whats wrong. But I believe its my liver and kidneys since watching your videos so I'm going to get healthy and see if this helps. Too young to give up!! Thank you for sharing and saving my life!!! Will keep you posted on my progress! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!
I had a routine blood test done and was found to have elevated liver enzymes. The culprit: Whey protein powder because I was going to the gym regularly and wanted an easy/fast digesting way to boost my protein levels. Dropped the whey and my liver quickly went back to normal. Moral of the story: Just eat whole foods and don't go for the quick/easy fix.
@@JERICH9478 Jesus christ, how much protein powder were you shoving down your throat? Just get 1- 1 and half scoop after workout as fast digesting protein and thats it. Get the rest from the food.
I respect Dr Berg. I've been a follower of his channel for years. I always look forward to seeing his videos. In this situation however, I have a bit of an issue. There is absolutely no need to peddle fear, uncertainty, and doubt. These are things that if consumed in excess, can damage your liver over time. To say or put ruin in all caps on your thumbnail can aggravate and annoy anyone. If it is something we need to be aware of, or be cognizant of so that we can make better decisions and choices, then please communicate that. Seeing the words "ruin your liver" is too much hyperbole for me. It's not necessary.
Yeah, just stay away from high sources of these things and that will help keep the liver out of danger. I'm going to eat pork rinds now and then and popcorn is always on the menu. Still, I'm not going to overdo these things.
I find trying to live a healthy life exhausting... BUT living a sick unhealthy life is beyond exhausting. Adhering to everything learned after hundreds of hours of research has helped me lose 30 lbs in the past 2 yrs and lower BP significantly, as well as A1C, LDL, etc.--and bring all my good blood results up. So it is worth constantly learning!
This is a first world problem! My dad nearly starved in WW2 then made up for it by eating a lot. Beloved fruit & ate a lot every day - had lovey unlined skin & lived to 94. My maternal grandma was brought up in poverty and lived on dripping & white bread for much of her youth. She lived a healthy life until 96 years! I think the foods they had access to probably had less chemicals. I enjoy the wisdom of Dr Berg’s videos but I think you can get too anxious & hung up about food. Eat & be thankful!
my dad lived to be 103-he ate processed foods all the time...but he did exercise alot. his fav foods were salmon and broccoli, sardines, balogne, cherios, carlo rossi wine, egg nog..oysters
My ALT was 600 and AST around 100. I was terrified. The ultrasound showed a completely healthy liver, and after a long conversation with the gastroenterologist about my diet, he determined that a protein shake (pea and rice vegan protein) could be the cause. After stopping the consumption of the protein shake, the values returned to normal. I still can't believe that such a seemingly innocuous food supplement that is touted as a healthy source of protein could do such harm. Later, I found out that many people who regularly go to the gym and take protein shakes every day before each blood test take a ten-day break precisely because of liver enzymes. Since then, I look for sources of protein exclusively in food.
another thing is they are full of artificial sweeteners like Sucralose (destroys gut, linked with Crohns disease with prolonged use) or Aspartame (linked to 8+ cancers)
My body started rejecting foods big time 10 years ago. The result was years of constant hospitalisation after consuming foods I had eaten all my life. Healthy 'normal' foods. There is a point to this story, which is: After years of sickness, I have narrowed down the foods my body can tolerate. Those foods turned out to be foods my ancestors ate. To my dismay my diet now consists mostly of root vegetables, seafood, chicken and very limited red meat and some leafy greens (no dairy,no soy, no wheat, no gluten, no corn, limited starches, no sodas or cordials, no alcohol, no coffee and no manufactured sugars no animal fats, no seeds, limited nuts only macadamia and peacan. The plethora of 'healthy' (and unhealthy) foods from across the globe available to me, ultimately made me sick. Upon reflection, it makes sense that like many things we inherit, our gut-health is one of them. We should take it seriously and not ignore children's dislikes of foods. Had my parents been aware of intolerances not just allergies, I would have been able to feel this healthy all my life. These days everyone is aware of food intolerances, so if it feels bad don't eat it again. A big one is alcohol. My body simply can't tolerate it. So, I don't care how socially unacceptable it is not to drink (and boy does the pressure get applied) if it gives you skin redness, or the sniffles, or red watering eyes, or makes your stomach ache, please give it away, your body is begging you quietly. If you ignore all the subtle signs the toxins will build up and you'll find yourself in hospital, with a mild intolerance that has turned into a toxic overload on your liver, kidneys, pancreas, lymph system and brain. I wish someone had told me this years ago. I hope this helps someone out there. Or their kids or anyone. Listen to the subtle signs and avoid my mistakes.
I have been diagnosed with FLD since 2018..and I started follow your advice avoid food that I cannot eat, eat a healthy diet that u suggested in your video..now after 3 weeks I feel better and I lost 5 kg..Thank you Dr..
The liver is the largest solid organ in the body. It removes toxins from the body's blood supply, maintains healthy blood sugar levels, regulates blood clotting, and performs hundreds of other vital functions👍
OH MY GOD DOC!! Can you PLEASE just make a video of the stuff we CAN eat? Or just do a video of what your daily food intake consists of and ill eat the same exact thing you do
Corn is a staple food in Southern Africa. We eat maize porridge every single day. I've recently cut it out. I've noticed that chronic disease like high blood pressure and diabetes seem to be a norm in my country. I was struggling to lose weight and felt lethargic. So I'm doing my best.
@@acharich corn is eaten much more in northen and south america. Corn flakes, pop corn, corn bread, corn flour, sweet corn, etc etc etc. america north and south consumes
Very true to that coz I am from Africa and I know what you mean exactly people use corn flour to make porridge and fufu (ugali) and I had to stop that since middle of 2022. honestly, ever since I switched to surghum ,yum, plantain or wheat flour I feel a lot better nowadays, so you should try that😀
Dr. Berg, I'm addicted to watch your videos, you go straight to the point and the way you explain is great. I'm glad for YT recommending me your channel and off topic, I'm studying English and your videos are helping me with that too. I'm increasing vocabulary and I can understand 100% of what you say, when I stumble over a word I can't understand, I go check it on Google and it is helping me a lot, I just wanted you to know that too. Absolutely great content.
Thanks again, Dr. Berg, for another wonderful video! Not only do you give us a list of things we should not eat and why, you give us the reasons behind the things we should not eat. I am almost 76, and your videos are helping me to stay ahead of the game, so thanks again, and keep up the good work and know how important your videos are.
If I’m 76 like you , I would eat whatever I love to eat as at 76 , you don’t have that much time to enjoy your food Go for it. Smoke , drink , eat whatever you love . Time is running out
@@nef.spring I would go for it, but I have Diabetes 2, and I have a genetic mutation in the part of my blood that keeps your blood thin enough to not clot. Because of this, I can only eat a small amount of greens because they have Vitamin K in them and that works against the medication I am taking to keep my blood in line. Also, I am an ultrasensitive person and because of this, there are lots of foods that will make me feel crappy or keep me up at night. And if you aren't 76, wait until you get there and you might find a desire to eat as well as you can.
I just wanted to thank you Dr. Berg. My granddaughter was just diagnosed with elevated liver enzymes. She's only sixteen. I am going to pass this onto my son so he can help her.
Make sure she repeats the tests after taking 5-7 days off from any physical activity - e.g. I tense exercise, sports etc Those can alter you liver function levels, e.g. ALT and GOT, assuming you are referring to those
I hit a giant wall of depression and rock bottom with booze and eating garbage. Lost my cat and my girlfriend ghosted me day after. Week later I lost my cousin. Grief and sorrow but the bad food. About a month ago I woke up one day and realized I want to live again I want to enjoy life. I am 40 days of no alcohol. Strict diet low carb: chicken/ground turkey; eggs; onions; Butter ; water and black coffee. I wake up and ready to go. My depression has gone away and on my goal of 45 lb weight loss. Thank you, Dr. Berg
Oh man, this explains my severe liver pain when I started keto a long time ago. I used soy protein powder and drank soy milk every single day. My liver was killing me!! I stopped eating keto and the pain stopped so I never went back on keto. Now I am trying to eat healthier and doing intermittent fasting so I have a balance.
I believe Dr. Berg to be the best thing that has perhaps ever come down the pike in my generation, and so I’m going to start basically taking a college course in nutrition by watching every single one of his videos….starting NOW!
or thousands of years Mexicans have been eating corn ..... the poor brown people of Mexico, the biggest corn eaters, age the slowest/live the longest on the planet, minus the poor of Bolivia.
He has a lot of video on what to eat. You need to do your own research on this channel like everyone else if you realy want to start getting healthy. Basically eat a lot of green veggies, healthy fat and then protein.
I would be hesitant in saying whey protein powder causes liver inflammation. The study used in the rats shows a major of confounding biases in the fact that the rats that were given long term protein had a increase in body weight over 25% in 4 weeks, their initial weight going from a mean of 173.85 grams to 227.64 grams. That's like some who is 200lbs going to 250lbs in 4 weeks. There will be an increase in inflammatory markers for anyone that gains weight that quick. Plus the rats were not exercising which is what a majority of people using whey protein do, they loose weight instead of gain weight like this study. There is a recent study from 2020 called Effect of Whey Protein Supplementation on Inflammatory and Antioxidant Markers, and Clinical Prognosis in Acute Ischemic Stroke (TNS Trial): A Randomized, Double Blind, Controlled, Clinical Trial In this study, humans are given 20grams of whey protein after an Ischemic Stroke over 3 weeks. It showed inflammatory markers actually went down after the 3 weeks. I'm sure there is a lot of good information in these videos but I would recommend anyone who wants to learn more about specific issues to google and look up information themselves to make a better informed choice. There are a lot of garbage protein powders out there full of sugars, but there are a lot that are good high quality protein that me and many people I know have been using for years. Goodluck on your fitness goals everyone
thanks, i was hoping there'd be a comment like this to give some balance. I like Dr bergs videos but of course its always good to seek information contrary to his opinion so were making more informed decisions.
@@The_Ultravisitor He seems to have a lot of good information but this was something I wanted to look more into because I drink 2 protein shakes a day just to try and hit my daily protein requirement. I just got my blood work done and everything was perfect. I'd suggest looking into a good quality ISOLATE protein even though they are a bit more expensive
Big facts..that was a joke...a quality whey isolate protein (grass fed )even better is good and all scientific papers and researchers say that is safe and good...now of u over do it then it’s ur fault..not whey
@@chilled99 its an option, I'd say unless you are severely lactose intolerant or follow a plant based diet, I would stick to a good quality isolate protein
I'm glad I saw this. I just finished off a bowl full of soy isolate, fructose, maltodextrin, whey protein powder, aflotoxin salad. I had just salted it with maltodextrin and msg until it was covered with a thin layer of the crud. Wondered why my liver felt like it was sucker punched. But seriously, that is good stuff to avoid.
I appreciate the information but I’m exhausted just trying to find some meat I can still eat, some liquid other than water I can drink, some fruits and vegetables that are still healthy. I’m not poo pooing what he says, it’s probably dead on accurate, just sad where the food industry has gone. Wish I had unlimited energy, I’d build a fence around my old garden plot and raise my own food. Sadly, I got tired of fighting pests (bugs), groundhogs, and deer, then add, too much/ too little rain, sun, etc. I raised plants and sold vegetables when I was a kid, we did can and freeze some, buts it’s really hard work that I can’t do anymore, oh well
You could be more precise: * Fructose: I eat a great deal of Fruits, such as apples, oranges, bananas, etc should be avoided? * Vegetable Fats: Pure, Virgin Olive Oil -- some people advise a table spoon with avfew lemon juice drops. How do you feel about olives and Virgin Olive Oil ?
I really appreciate your content. I am actually learning more and more about my health thanks to you. I have notice a enormous change on my body drinking lemon and garlic in the mornings on a empty stomach. Enjoy watching your videos first thing morning. I told my sister about your channel she is hooked. You have a blessed day.
After viewing your video, I read the label on several of the “keto, friendly“ foods that I have been using and soy protein isolate was in the top three ingredients. It really concerns me that I’ve been eating this poison and not knowing it I will be throwing out a lot of expensive food this week. Thank you for the great information.
Protein Isolate is not poison. It's infact one of the highest quality protein. Taking it in large quantities may be harmful for the liver. So you don't have to throw it but take it moderately. Restrict your intake.
Actually I recommend Olive oil as a vegetable oil. I don’t know if you use this a lot in America, but here in France we use it a lot. 1. This oil doesn’t burn. 2. Contains a lot of Omega 9 and few of Omega 6. 3. Reduce bad cholesterol. 4. Reduce risks of cardiovascular diseases. I also recommend to always add a bit of olive oil when you wanna use butter as the main oil because it will prevent the butter to burn in your pan.
@@Forescity the fact it browns a little does not make it bad, unlike other oils it does not cause oxidation , at low med , mix a little butter or ghee,and more EV OLIVE oil , it cook anything, just slow the cook, for beef buy beef with marbled cuts,then use no oils
An easy way to make your own cottage cheese: Bring a liter of whole milk nearly up to boiling while stir and add juice from one or two lemons. The cheese stuff will separate, pour into a cloth and let it drip off. This makes beautiful fresh cheese finished in approximately ten minutes. No secrete chemicals or gmo’s!
...I would argue that most foods outside any restaurant have MSG, not just Chinese foods. I've asked many restaurants when I got out if anything has MSG and the majority of the time they say yes a little...
Regarding fructose in fruits, I think we all need to stay humble and admit that there are some things that we still don't know as humans and that's perfectly okay. Fruits, humans have eaten them for millennia and still thrive on it. Everything that is edible in nature is good for us, ditch the vegetable oils though.
Fruit is much more sugary now due to agricultural selection and breeding. And fruit used to be available mostly only in summer and autumn. So it used to be more of a treat and less of a food staple for most of our ancestors
Nice video! I work out 5 times a week, and whey protein always got me bloated and didn't give me any results. What worked was ditching whey protein and eating food that contain protein.
Kudos to you Dr. Berg 🙏 I'm so glad you finally talk about petroleum derivatives in our food. It's used to extract and isolate nutrients in MANY things including food supplements. Laboratories typically use hexane or kerosene (kerosene is 'natural'). Both are extremely toxic chemicals.
You probably get higher amounts of toxins from the water you drink and the air you breathe than “Hexane” or any other solvent used in extraction processes because 99.999 % is recovered or evaporated before it even gets to market. Maltodextrin is used primarily in JUNK FOOD which you should eat in moderation if at all. Fructose is found in nearly all fruit so we are supposed to avoid ALL FRUIT? ‘VEGETABLE OIL’ is any oil that is not from Animal or Mineral sources and we should not eat these either so what is left?
@@jimbearone I have fructose intolerance so I don’t eat fruit. It’s so hard but I really suffer if I do eat some fruit. The only oil I can tolerate is organic coconut oil. I use pure organic unsalted butter also to cook in but don’t use much. I grew up on an Orchard and was drenched with very high amounts of toxic pesticides( many of which are now banned) since I was a baby until the age of 26. I have autoimmune diseases (Rheumatoid Arthritis, Autoimmune Thrombocytopenia, eczema ), multiple chemical allergies and sensitivities and food intolerances and allergies and Irritable Bowel Syndrome). I’m histamine intolerant, asthmatic and atopic and have SVT ( a type of heart arrhythmia involving severe tachycardia). I have Major Depressive Disorder, GAD ( with panic disorder) and I’ve also recently been diagnosed with High functioning Autism. I’m at a total loss as to what to eat anymore and was diagnosed and hospitalised with Beri Beri ( severe thiamine deficiency) from malnutrition last year. I fast a lot and those fasting days are the only ones I don’t feel any pain. I truly don’t know what to safely eat and now I have been diagnosed with an eating disorder called ARFID ( Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) 😢
Dr Berg, you are amazing!!!! Your videos are so informative! I've not watched them for a while but recently I've started again and I've learnt so much; you've confirmed so many things on my mind! you have such a calming, interesting and knowledgeable "voice". Doctors SHOULD learn from you! I had fatty liver - which is under control and, hopefully, getting back to normal! (my AST and ALT readings are back to normal - I hope that's a good indicator 🤔). I have no liver disease symptoms. I saw a nutritionist last year in November for pre diabetic blood sugar levels. I've lost 9 kgs, morning bloods are about 5.4 from 6.5, and lost 11.5 cms around my waist!! Thank you so much for your amazing videos! regards and best wishes to you! I've lost 8
I stopped listening to him a while ago. I was following what he said and was miserable ! I visited a holistic doctor and changed my diet. I am much happier! better relationship with my husband and blood work is normal. In moderation guys and gals.
I dont think one diet works for everyone. We all have different blood types. If it didn't work for you, then it's not the diet for you. We are all built differently. I tried vegan, didn't work for me. Tried carnivore, didn't work for me. Tried calories, didn't work for me. Liver diet works for me!
I think what perplexes people when it comes to keto is fast food is not your major source for sustenance. People love the drive thru and food courts of the world. It's convenient, cheap and let's face it, it taste good. When you eliminate that and sugar from your diet, the healing will begin. It's a mindset that most people won't adapt to unless their health is in danger but at that point, it might be too late. I'm no angel either, this took me a few tries before I got on board. Once I started buying and cooking my meals, it became easy.
Big pharma loves us, Americans, luring us both into junk food drive- through first, and then into pharmacy drive-through.....and then you roll in a wherl chair and coffin.
Most of the studies you referenced were done on mice, not humans. The one study you referenced gave mice 252g/kg of whey protein. A serving of whey protein is 38g. So that means they were feeding these mice roughly 6 scoops of protein powder per day. And even then there was only a correlation with liver damage. You sir, are fear mongering.
He told you the reasons why its not good. Go back and rewatch it. One reason was it has gmo ingredients and additives. Its not the whey protein itself. Although it does spike insulin the fastest. Try harder please
@@DRAWDAILYchannel hell nah, as a researcher you should give the entire picture. Be objective at all cost, it is our duty to present facts and not a biased view
I was brought up on processed foods. Pizza, Chineese, hotdogs, spaghetti, etc. Never had a weight problem until my 30's so I never thought much of what foods were right or wrong. I've done the circuit of diets: WW, Atkins, Dr. Oz suggestions (he's helped a lot of people so nothing against him), etc. And nothing has worked like Keto. I'm approaching the double nickels (55) and because of your videos I'm finally learning how to eat. I just checked my protein powder. I thought I did well when I picked it up 2 mo. ago, when I first decided to go all in with Keto, and it's not even close to good. Had to through it out. Even with all the mistakes I've made so fat I've still lost 22lbs. Thank you for all your videos. I truly appreciate all you sacrifice to bring health and well-being into my life and everyone who watches your videos. Thank You.
I know this channel is all about a strict keto diet and that Eric Berg helps a lot of people by educating them but I started taking a tiny teaspoon of honey sometimes, and even though it has fructose in it I don't think that is necessarily bad for my health. It's raw honey collected in the mountains where my greatgrandma lives, in the northwest of Spain. Purest air ever. I refuse to believe eating legumes and honey and potatoes harvested at home is worse than eating bacon from the supermarket.
I agree. Honey has nutritional benefits not found in processed sugars. I also take homegrown potatoes and legumes frequently and in moderation at a meal. The human body is built for a wide variety of foods, so if they are well produced whole foods, I have no problem eating them.
@@aWomanFreed I've heard that before, very interesting! But humans have been eating vegetables cooked and raw for a long time, do you think we are not really built to consume them? I red somewhere that most of them were modified by us over the years but I'm not sure.
@@aWomanFreed He did make videos on oxalates loaded vegetables. Quite a few. And he explained how to deal with it or to not have them at all. Additionally, he explained that people with serious gut issues should go keto carnivore for a while or a long time as needed.
I don’t know what it is dr berg but everytime you talk, & advise us I listen really carefully & take everything in. Then tell my family what to have less of or more of. So thank you so much dr berg I found this very helpful as I found out about fructose the hard way. It made me feel really sick & I felt bad for a few days. Thank you again dr berg 😊💯
Ok, my grandfather lived 98 years. He had never used RUclips. He told me - whatever you get in the market, buy according to your pocket cook it and eat it. Daily common exercise is also important. That's all.
Please understand the older generations mostly missed the poisoned processed foods. Foods are nothing like they were when he was growing up. Our food supply started getting bad in the 70's and REALLY bad since the 90's. Most people in their 50's and younger are suffering some form of chronic illness.
The problem is that food has changed dramatically since the 50's & 60's. Most food is a community & fresh fruit & vegetables just don't contain the amount of vitamins they had in the past.
I have learnt so much from Dr Berg. Hands down ,, no doctor will share so much info for free. I see other doctors on YT just trying to compete with Dr Berg and the truth is they will never steal your client base. Dr Berg continue with these videos, I share with my colleagues at work and today I was printing keto diet acceptable foods for my colleagues. Thank you from a proudly South African🇿🇦🇿🇦
Yes, thank you Dr. Berg. I appreciate that you explain the "why not" in the products you name. It gives us a better understanding why we need to avoid these products. THANK YOU.
Dr Berg or Someone else, do you really know someone that is overweight or have diabetes for eat fruits, Really? I don't understand why you are against fruits.
@@calcunha only fruits and veggies? Or they eat more things like proces food, fatfood etc,. I don't know any person that is fat for eating fruits or vegetables only.
Just eat a balanced healthy diet, trying to be more natural and avoid processed foods. Exercise and have fun with pizza, burgers and ice cream once in a while. Don´t worry and live life with common sense.
@@dlee3710 And so what? Are we supposed to pat them on the heads and say ohhh poor you? He gave a GREAT piece of advice not really based on his "tiny" life but science and psychology and a lot of other people's experiences.
Hi Dr Berg, the more I watch health related videos, the more I feel that I should grow all foods, from veggie, poultry to cattle. I found every food is not eatable in my condition - hypothyroid, low hemoglobin, low pressure, diabetes, migraine, E-trait, arthritis....
Maltodextrin (Corn Syrup) is common, natural ingredient used to increase body and mouth feel in beer. Maltodextrin is only 30% fermentable, the remaining solids increase the "thickness" of the beer producing a creamy, closed head.
Peer-reviewed studies have shown that roasting peanuts destroy most aflatoxins, but this can make them more allergenic. I'm switching to valencia peanuts and MaraNatha brand peanut butter (100% valencia peanuts) anyway. I'm happy to see that raw valencias are plentiful, as I enjoy roasting them myself, getting the freshest peanuts in town.
Thank you so much for this! When I first began my keto journey 3 years ago, it helped to remember your warnings and sometimes, I'd say "What would Dr. Berg do?" This list is so convenient as a NON-shopping list! Thank you!
When my daughters were teens, I noticed they were getting “cellulite”. I read up and switched to whole milk and the bumps went away. Our bodies are designed to work with whole foods. When we process the fat out of milk, then add back in half to make 2%, it changes the molecule size and the body doesn’t know what to do with it so it stores it (like fluoride which is also not good for you).
The same with bread, its mainly starch. When you grind the wheat berries and use ALL of it when making bread ,blood sugars do not spike like it does with store bought.
I haven't taken a dump in almost 17 years, but Dr. Berg came along and told me the secret to achieving the most satisfying BM that any human has experienced in history!
Same here. Started drinking in college and since have been a moderate drinker for 25 years with the occasional binge. Found Berg two months ago, and I had no idea how badly I was damaging myself as I've always been thin and healthy "looking." I haven't had a sip of booze in two months, have no desire and never will again. Now I'm obsessed with minimizing the amount and number of insulin spikes I have each day, and sorry alcohol - you're not in the equation!

Oh my gosh, I was drinking a protein drink every day when I went to the doctor and my blood testing for my liver was not good, as it usually was. Now I understand why!
Doc; with your wealth of knowledge, continue to research the fact that there is a world of difference between fructose as high fructose corn syrup, and fruit which is high fiber, high pure water content, and has high levels of antioxidants, and phyto nutrients, and a low glycemic “load”
@@mvd3804 i dont like when thy say eat fruits and then say fruits are not good..I am confuse..as to fruits i eat grapes for my sweet tooth..and lots of Avocados..mangoes, etc
Thank you Dr. Berg for always sharing and helping us become the better versions of ourselves! You’ve changed my life and I thank you so much for helping add more years to my life! Wishing you nothing but the best 🙏
My dad and I are examples of too much fructose. He had to have a liver transplant, but we caught my fatty liver early before any damage. Now I need to make some major changes in my life. I greatly appreciate these videos, and I'm hoping your advice helps. It was still good to hear my doctor come in with a big smile telling me she had good news, no cirrhosis, and set me up with a nutritionist, but I have to fix myself now while I can.
@@pbplauralfilms the enzyme that was high was associated with non-alcoholic, and since my dad had that one (he never drank it smoked or any of the risk factors, just a 32 soda every morning and afternoon at work and obesity), that's what the doctors diagnosed as mine. Drinking aggravated it, but wasn't the main cause. I would do lots of soda and energy drinks every day, far more than alcohol, even when I was a heavy drinker years ago.
@@iwasnthere1745 it's not necessarily non alcoholic there is no way to read that there is two different enzymes rhat get raised when your liver is under stress, period.
@@JLUX100 I'm interested in knowing what research you used to reach this conclusion. Please share it. The conclusions I reached came from multiple doctors who said that although it's not 100% percent accurate, it's safe to assume that high AST levels are associated with alcohol related liver disease and high ALT is associated with non-alcoholic related liver disease, or what is now being called metabolic related liver disease. You're right that I'm not a subject matter expert, so I tend to trust medical professionals who have made either part or while careers based on this subject.
This video lacks recommendation of recommended amount. Balanced diet is called balanced for a reason. This video speaks as if peanuts should not be eaten at all.
I find I am intolerant of Tapioca flour, gives me a strong pain in my stomach shortly after consumption. It is hidden in many gluten free flour products so another thing I have to avoid! Thanks for the excellent information you provide!!

Thank you for mentioning aflatoxins. A family member ate peanuts as a primary snack source for several years (after being diagnosed with diabetes), since it’s a cheap source of protein and low in sugar. The result was terminal liver cancer. 😢The doctor thought it was probably the aflatoxins from the peanuts. (I’ve heard that pasteurized peanuts butters are okay but it’s a good idea to be cautious).
There is another RUclips doctor who recommends eating an apple with peanut butter daily with no mention of eating organic. I was a fan of his until he posted that video. This makes me more certain that his info isn’t as good as I thought. Thank you for sharing your comment.
Per Dr. Berg in this video: "0:40" -- Soy protein isolates *chemicals such as the solvent Hexane used for the extraction process "2:22" -- Fructose (e.g. high fructose corn syrup; agave; etc) *implicated in the development of fatty liver "4:34" -- Vegetable fats *inflammatory non-saturated: soy oil; corn oil; cottonseed oil; etc. 👉🏼 healthy alternatives: sardines; cod liver oil; salmon; etc "6:29" -- Whey protein power *highly processed dairy based product "7:35" -- Maltodextrin (a synthetic sugar) *unfortunately, a pervasive filler, & primarily derived from GMO corn, etc. "8:59" -- Aflatoxins (a toxin produced by fungus) *in peanut butters (non-organic) *corn (GMO) "9:52" -- Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) "11:00" -- red meat (if not grassfed) *also problematic for those who have a build-up of iron "11:54" -- "What to do to repair the liver" video recommendation
Curious, doc: since YOU CONFUSE grains, cereals, plants, seeds & beans with "vegetables" do you also refer to borage oil as "vegetable oil"?? Corn , soy, canola & cottonSEED are all PLANTS but NOT one of them is a vegetable, FYI!
Fructose as in processed high fructose corn syrup, agave, processed juices. A great explanation of fructose is in Dr David Perlmutter’s new book - “Drop Acid”. Whole fruit is not the same thing. Good luck on your health journey! 👍🏽
I am from India (Tamilnadu), in our rich culture we never take fatty processed foods, White sugar, hybrid grown vegetables, Red meat (Limited consume), Alcohol etc. we usually take naturally grown vegetables fruits, Jaggery (Instead of white sugar), cow Ghee, butter, butter milk, curd, milk, organic rice, lot of physical work in our routine, Yoga, Meditation, Pooja in temple.
@@braumenheimer9607Jaggery means the natural unprocessed form of sugar you get from Sugar cane, Coconut, Dates etc. And Pooja means the worshipping method for Gods (in Hindu rituals).
Thanks for pointing out Maltodextrin. I was taking psyllium fiber powder from Metmucil and noticed it had dextrin in it and finally understood why I was being kicked out of ketosis.
I have been a vegan eating tons of soy and pea protein for 40 years. My tip is to adds flax seed and/or chia seed to get the omega-3's which fix all the issues highlighted in this video with soy powder.
Since nothing is edible anymore I stopped eating the day this video was released. I now weigh a mere 18 lbs. It's cool because I can travel the world for free just by stepping outside and letting the wind carry me away. Even better is when I turn sideways no one can see me!
2024 Update:
After getting caught in the updraft of an F5 tornado I'm now in the midst of inner planetary travel. I seem to be headed toward Venus. Maybe one of the other planets or their moons will have something I can eat without worry. I'll keep you posted. It's a bit chilly up here.

Foods that ruin my liver: the entire grocery store, apparently.
Grow indoors in a grow tent with non GMO seeds. I saved seed from produce I buy from local greenhouse ,they only use non GMO and are organic . Fabulous. I would be very sceptical on meat right now, especially chicken . The powers that be inject horrific things . Also there is Lab grown meat being pushed now

Get your meat from a good butcher with local meat, grow your own vegetables or get from a fruitstand. That’s all you need.

What a fucking donkey. Most items in this list aren't consumed by most people anyway.
Jajajaja
Hes still in the journey to break the code ... 😂 I want him to live a normal life and die than to worry on what to eat and eventually die
That, he surely, has been doing in several videos. This channel is a gold mine.
Then that would be one video and he'd have no more to make.
I remember as a child I've never had problems with dairy, gluten or anything really, no allergies whatsoever. Then, a few years ago, I began to have digestive issues, now literally everything makes me feel bloated, I developed GERD, IBS, an enlarged liver (even though I am skinny and never drink) etc. Additionally, I also got hand eczema, which refuses to heal no matter what I do. Eczema is slowly starting to appear on my face as well. I've been thinking a lot about these things, and why I did not have any problems with food or my digestion as a kid. I came to the conclusion that all these big companies must inject food items with god knows what and that is what we have an allergic reaction to. That is what our stomach cannot handle. I understand that there are people with real allergies, who would die if they ate foods containing peanuts for example, but food intolerances...I swear it is because our bodies cannot tolerate all these perservatives, colorings and whatever else they put in food that is not even indicated on the label.
Same problem for me
I developed skin rashes too. They have moved around in different places in my body. I now have it in my arm. Was once on my hand really bad. I cut out so much and only eat keto. Still have the rash and I’m thinking it’s the cheese/dairy. I hope not cause I love cheese, cream cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream.
@@sajithack8415 See my comment to RebeccaSpires right here below.
gmo
Dude! I had the eczema reaction from consuming cereal! Yes cereal! The classic kind of cereal! It was in my hands and feet and it burned and itched like heck and it took forever for my body to detox.
What I have gathered as a common denominator from all these videos is as below:
1. Avoid as much as possible white sugar
2. Eat fresh fruit and vegetables - cooked or uncooked, whichever is possible for you.
3. Use ghee, butter in moderation, butdo use them.
4. Moderate amount of soaked nuts and seeds are good.
5. Do not get into knowing chemical names like maltodextrin etc... Just avoid processed foods as much as possible including cookies, biscuits. Make them at home if you want it.
6. Go to a doctor if any severe acute issue or you have tried some home remedies for at least a day or two.
7. Hydrate youself with at least 6 to 8 glasses of water daily
.
Nope. In general people would be better off eating more butter and Ghee.

I had a routine blood test done and was found to have elevated liver enzymes. The culprit: Whey protein powder because I was going to the gym regularly and wanted an easy/fast digesting way to boost my protein levels.
Dropped the whey and my liver quickly went back to normal. Moral of the story: Just eat whole foods and don't go for the quick/easy fix.
You drink whey pure not in powder, whey is a leftover when making cheese as you know. Cows should not eat monsanto stuff but grass free on pastures.

@Hope is stronger than fears The same thing is written in the description of the video. His comment is just stupid
All lies
I respect Dr Berg. I've been a follower of his channel for years. I always look forward to seeing his videos. In this situation however, I have a bit of an issue. There is absolutely no need to peddle fear, uncertainty, and doubt. These are things that if consumed in excess, can damage your liver over time. To say or put ruin in all caps on your thumbnail can aggravate and annoy anyone. If it is something we need to be aware of, or be cognizant of so that we can make better decisions and choices, then please communicate that. Seeing the words "ruin your liver" is too much hyperbole for me. It's not necessary.
I agree.
@@GodsRemnant917 🤣
Well said. Don’t take the words in an extreme way…
We don't tell alcoholics or drug addicts "everything in moderation".
Yeah, just stay away from high sources of these things and that will help keep the liver out of danger. I'm going to eat pork rinds now and then and popcorn is always on the menu. Still, I'm not going to overdo these things.
I find trying to live a healthy life exhausting... BUT living a sick unhealthy life is beyond exhausting. Adhering to everything learned after hundreds of hours of research has helped me lose 30 lbs in the past 2 yrs and lower BP significantly, as well as A1C, LDL, etc.--and bring all my good blood results up. So it is worth constantly learning!
This is a first world problem! My dad nearly starved in WW2 then made up for it by eating a lot. Beloved fruit & ate a lot every day - had lovey unlined skin & lived to 94. My maternal grandma was brought up in poverty and lived on dripping & white bread for much of her youth. She lived a healthy life until 96 years! I think the foods they had access to probably had less chemicals. I enjoy the wisdom of Dr Berg’s videos but I think you can get too anxious & hung up about food. Eat & be thankful!

My ALT was 600 and AST around 100. I was terrified. The ultrasound showed a completely healthy liver, and after a long conversation with the gastroenterologist about my diet, he determined that a protein shake (pea and rice vegan protein) could be the cause. After stopping the consumption of the protein shake, the values returned to normal. I still can't believe that such a seemingly innocuous food supplement that is touted as a healthy source of protein could do such harm. Later, I found out that many people who regularly go to the gym and take protein shakes every day before each blood test take a ten-day break precisely because of liver enzymes. Since then, I look for sources of protein exclusively in food.
So, do you know of a good protein powder?

My body started rejecting foods big time 10 years ago. The result was years of constant hospitalisation after consuming foods I had eaten all my life. Healthy 'normal' foods. There is a point to this story, which is:
After years of sickness, I have narrowed down the foods my body can tolerate. Those foods turned out to be foods my ancestors ate. To my dismay my diet now consists mostly of root vegetables, seafood, chicken and very limited red meat and some leafy greens (no dairy,no soy, no wheat, no gluten, no corn, limited starches, no sodas or cordials, no alcohol, no coffee and no manufactured sugars no animal fats, no seeds, limited nuts only macadamia and peacan. The plethora of 'healthy' (and unhealthy) foods from across the globe available to me, ultimately made me sick.
Upon reflection, it makes sense that like many things we inherit, our gut-health is one of them. We should take it seriously and not ignore children's dislikes of foods. Had my parents been aware of intolerances not just allergies, I would have been able to feel this healthy all my life. These days everyone is aware of food intolerances, so if it feels bad don't eat it again. A big one is alcohol. My body simply can't tolerate it. So, I don't care how socially unacceptable it is not to drink (and boy does the pressure get applied) if it gives you skin redness, or the sniffles, or red watering eyes, or makes your stomach ache, please give it away, your body is begging you quietly. If you ignore all the subtle signs the toxins will build up and you'll find yourself in hospital, with a mild intolerance that has turned into a toxic overload on your liver, kidneys, pancreas, lymph system and brain. I wish someone had told me this years ago. I hope this helps someone out there. Or their kids or anyone. Listen to the subtle signs and avoid my mistakes.
Same here buddy i wish someone had told me years ago 😭..... But still I'm following the diet,but if lord don't want me alive it's his wish 😘😘😘😘

Literally, corn is eaten in so many different ways in Africa & nearly every day.. 🌍

Very true to that coz I am from Africa and I know what you mean exactly people use corn flour to make porridge and fufu (ugali) and I had to stop that since middle of 2022. honestly, ever since I switched to surghum ,yum, plantain or wheat flour I feel a lot better nowadays, so you should try that😀
Dr. Berg, I'm addicted to watch your videos, you go straight to the point and the way you explain is great.

@@nef.spring I would go for it, but I have Diabetes 2, and I have a genetic mutation in the part of my blood that keeps your blood thin enough to not clot. Because of this, I can only eat a small amount of greens because they have Vitamin K in them and that works against the medication I am taking to keep my blood in line. Also, I am an ultrasensitive person and because of this, there are lots of foods that will make me feel crappy or keep me up at night. And if you aren't 76, wait until you get there and you might find a desire to eat as well as you can.
I just wanted to thank you Dr. Berg. My granddaughter was just diagnosed with elevated liver enzymes. She's only sixteen. I am going to pass this onto my son so he can help her.

That's like some who is 200lbs going to 250lbs in 4 weeks. There will be an increase in inflammatory markers for anyone that gains weight that quick. Plus the rats were not exercising which is what a majority of people using whey protein do, they loose weight instead of gain weight like this study. There is a recent study from 2020 called
Effect of Whey Protein Supplementation on Inflammatory and Antioxidant Markers, and Clinical Prognosis in Acute Ischemic Stroke (TNS Trial): A Randomized, Double Blind, Controlled, Clinical Trial
In this study, humans are given 20grams of whey protein after an Ischemic Stroke over 3 weeks. It showed inflammatory markers actually went down after the 3 weeks.
I'm sure there is a lot of good information in these videos but I would recommend anyone who wants to learn more about specific issues to google and look up information themselves to make a better informed choice. There are a lot of garbage protein powders out there full of sugars, but there are a lot that are good high quality protein that me and many people I know have been using for years. Goodluck on your fitness goals everyone
thanks, i was hoping there'd be a comment like this to give some balance. I like Dr bergs videos but of course its always good to seek information contrary to his opinion so were making more informed decisions.
@@The_Ultravisitor He seems to have a lot of good information but this was something I wanted to look more into because I drink 2 protein shakes a day just to try and hit my daily protein requirement. I just got my blood work done and everything was perfect. I'd suggest looking into a good quality ISOLATE protein even though they are a bit more expensive
Big facts..that was a joke...a quality whey isolate protein (grass fed )even better is good and all scientific papers and researchers say that is safe and good...now of u over do it then it’s ur fault..not whey
Theres always hemp protein instead
@@chilled99 its an option, I'd say unless you are severely lactose intolerant or follow a plant based diet, I would stick to a good quality isolate protein
I'm glad I saw this. I just finished off a bowl full of soy isolate, fructose, maltodextrin, whey protein powder, aflotoxin salad. I had just salted it with maltodextrin and msg until it was covered with a thin layer of the crud. Wondered why my liver felt like it was sucker punched. But seriously, that is good stuff to avoid.
Processed deli meats: maltodextrin and soy isolate
Fruits: fructose
Deep fried food: vegetable oil
Fast foods and chips: MSG
Peanuts: aflatoxins
I appreciate the information but I’m exhausted just trying to find some meat I can still eat, some liquid other than water I can drink, some fruits and vegetables that are still healthy. I’m not poo pooing what he says, it’s probably dead on accurate, just sad where the food industry has gone. Wish I had unlimited energy, I’d build a fence around my old garden plot and raise my own food. Sadly, I got tired of fighting pests (bugs), groundhogs, and deer, then add, too much/ too little rain, sun, etc. I raised plants and sold vegetables when I was a kid, we did can and freeze some, buts it’s really hard work that I can’t do anymore, oh well
You could be more precise:
* Fructose: I eat a great deal of Fruits, such as apples, oranges, bananas, etc should be avoided?
* Vegetable Fats: Pure, Virgin Olive Oil -- some people advise a table spoon with avfew lemon juice drops.
How do you feel about olives and Virgin Olive Oil ?
I really appreciate your content. I am actually learning more and more about my health thanks to you. I have notice a enormous change on my body drinking lemon and garlic in the mornings on a empty stomach. Enjoy watching your videos first thing morning. I told my sister about your channel she is hooked. You have a blessed day.
After viewing your video, I read the label on several of the “keto, friendly“ foods that I have been using and soy protein isolate was in the top three ingredients. It really concerns me that I’ve been eating this poison and not knowing it I will be throwing out a lot of expensive food this week. Thank you for the great information.
Read ingredients always. I had to learn that too. Maltodextrin is in everything. Soy and vegetable oil is in everything.
Good for you, don't look at it as food even!
Protein Isolate is not poison. It's infact one of the highest quality protein. Taking it in large quantities may be harmful for the liver. So you don't have to throw it but take it moderately. Restrict your intake.
Actually I recommend Olive oil as a vegetable oil. I don’t know if you use this a lot in America, but here in France we use it a lot. 1. This oil doesn’t burn. 2. Contains a lot of Omega 9 and few of Omega 6. 3. Reduce bad cholesterol. 4. Reduce risks of cardiovascular diseases.
I also recommend to always add a bit of olive oil when you wanna use butter as the main oil because it will prevent the butter to burn in your pan.
Everybody uses olive oil
@@pains1956 Asian people usually don't.
How do you cook in it. Mine starts to burn at medium high
@@Forescity the fact it browns a little does not make it bad, unlike other oils it does not cause oxidation , at low med , mix a little butter or ghee,and more EV OLIVE oil , it cook anything, just slow the cook, for beef buy beef with marbled cuts,then use no oils
I use olive oil, butter and a combination of the two. I occasionally use toasted sesame seed oil when doing stir fry’s.
An easy way to make your own cottage cheese: Bring a liter of whole milk nearly up to boiling while stir and add juice from one or two lemons. The cheese stuff will separate, pour into a cloth and let it drip off. This makes beautiful fresh cheese finished in approximately ten minutes. No secrete chemicals or gmo’s!
...I would argue that most foods outside any restaurant have MSG, not just Chinese foods. I've asked many restaurants when I got out if anything has MSG and the majority of the time they say yes a little...
Regarding fructose in fruits, I think we all need to stay humble and admit that there are some things that we still don't know as humans and that's perfectly okay. Fruits, humans have eaten them for millennia and still thrive on it. Everything that is edible in nature is good for us, ditch the vegetable oils though.
Your ancestry matters a lot. People in warm countries like Peru consumed fruits quite often whereas Scandinavians had predominantly meat and fish.
Fruit is for 🦧. Not humans
Apples are really good for you I thought, grapefruit...no?
Fruits are amazing for health.
Fruit is much more sugary now due to agricultural selection and breeding. And fruit used to be available mostly only in summer and autumn. So it used to be more of a treat and less of a food staple for most of our ancestors
Nice video! I work out 5 times a week, and whey protein always got me bloated and didn't give me any results. What worked was ditching whey protein and eating food that contain protein.
So what do we eat now? The internet is hell 😩
Same thing I was thinking 😢
I love the way you present such stuff, in a calm and clear manner, very convincing.
Thanks for your kind words.
Dr. Berg's Support Team
Kudos to you Dr. Berg 🙏 I'm so glad you finally talk about petroleum derivatives in our food. It's used to extract and isolate nutrients in MANY things including food supplements. Laboratories typically use hexane or kerosene (kerosene is 'natural'). Both are extremely toxic chemicals.
How about within lotions?
So ur saying fruit is bad for your liver?!?! Ur fulla crap “Doctor!”
You probably get higher amounts of toxins from the water you drink and the air you breathe than “Hexane” or any other solvent used in extraction processes because 99.999 % is recovered or evaporated before it even gets to market. Maltodextrin is used primarily in JUNK FOOD which you should eat in moderation if at all. Fructose is found in nearly all fruit so we are supposed to avoid ALL FRUIT? ‘VEGETABLE OIL’ is any oil that is not from Animal or Mineral sources and we should not eat these either so what is left?
@dkonx it s one of the worst ones: it s loaded with omega 6 and is highly processed frankenfood
@@jimbearone I have fructose intolerance so I don’t eat fruit. It’s so hard but I really suffer if I do eat some fruit. The only oil I can tolerate is organic coconut oil. I use pure organic unsalted butter also to cook in but don’t use much.
I grew up on an Orchard and was drenched with very high amounts of toxic pesticides( many of which are now banned) since I was a baby until the age of 26. I have autoimmune diseases (Rheumatoid Arthritis, Autoimmune Thrombocytopenia, eczema ), multiple chemical allergies and sensitivities and food intolerances and allergies and Irritable Bowel Syndrome).
I’m histamine intolerant, asthmatic and atopic and have SVT ( a type of heart arrhythmia involving severe tachycardia).
I have Major Depressive Disorder, GAD ( with panic disorder) and I’ve also recently been diagnosed with High functioning Autism.
I’m at a total loss as to what to eat anymore and was diagnosed and hospitalised with Beri Beri ( severe thiamine deficiency) from malnutrition last year.
I fast a lot and those fasting days are the only ones I don’t feel any pain. I truly don’t know what to safely eat and now I have been diagnosed with an eating disorder called ARFID ( Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) 😢
Dr Berg, you are amazing!!!! Your videos are so informative! I've not watched them for a while but recently I've started again and I've learnt so much; you've confirmed so many things on my mind! you have such a calming, interesting and knowledgeable "voice". Doctors SHOULD learn from you!
I had fatty liver - which is under control and, hopefully, getting back to normal! (my AST and ALT readings are back to normal - I hope that's a good indicator 🤔). I have no liver disease symptoms.
I saw a nutritionist last year in November for pre diabetic blood sugar levels. I've lost 9 kgs, morning bloods are about 5.4 from 6.5, and lost 11.5 cms around my waist!!
Thank you so much for your amazing videos! regards and best wishes to you!
I've lost 8
I stopped listening to him a while ago. I was following what he said and was miserable ! I visited a holistic doctor and changed my diet. I am much happier! better relationship with my husband and blood work is normal. In moderation guys and gals.
I dont think one diet works for everyone. We all have different blood types. If it didn't work for you, then it's not the diet for you. We are all built differently. I tried vegan, didn't work for me. Tried carnivore, didn't work for me. Tried calories, didn't work for me. Liver diet works for me!
I think what perplexes people when it comes to keto is fast food is not your major source for sustenance. People love the drive thru and food courts of the world. It's convenient, cheap and let's face it, it taste good. When you eliminate that and sugar from your diet, the healing will begin. It's a mindset that most people won't adapt to unless their health is in danger but at that point, it might be too late.
I'm no angel either, this took me a few tries before I got on board. Once I started buying and cooking my meals, it became easy.
thanks for sharing!
Big pharma loves us, Americans, luring us both into junk food drive- through first, and then into pharmacy drive-through.....and then you roll in a wherl chair and coffin.

@@Teriiarco i think soy produces to much estrogen full stop , when we need testoserone , But check it out .
Most of the studies you referenced were done on mice, not humans.
The one study you referenced gave mice 252g/kg of whey protein. A serving of whey protein is 38g. So that means they were feeding these mice roughly 6 scoops of protein powder per day.
And even then there was only a correlation with liver damage.
You sir, are fear mongering.
Glad someone else pointed it out.
Excellent observation
He told you the reasons why its not good. Go back and rewatch it. One reason was it has gmo ingredients and additives. Its not the whey protein itself. Although it does spike insulin the fastest. Try harder please
@@DRAWDAILYchannel hell nah, as a researcher you should give the entire picture. Be objective at all cost, it is our duty to present facts and not a biased view
Thanks for that! People take anything for granted these days.
I was brought up on processed foods. Pizza, Chineese, hotdogs, spaghetti, etc. Never had a weight problem until my 30's so I never thought much of what foods were right or wrong. I've done the circuit of diets: WW, Atkins, Dr. Oz suggestions (he's helped a lot of people so nothing against him), etc. And nothing has worked like Keto. I'm approaching the double nickels (55) and because of your videos I'm finally learning how to eat. I just checked my protein powder. I thought I did well when I picked it up 2 mo. ago, when I first decided to go all in with Keto, and it's not even close to good. Had to through it out. Even with all the mistakes I've made so fat I've still lost 22lbs. Thank you for all your videos. I truly appreciate all you sacrifice to bring health and well-being into my life and everyone who watches your videos. Thank You.
Protein shakes just bad. Soy, whey, plant proteins BadBadBad
What is your opinion about egg white protein powder, beef protein powder, collagen protein powder, etc? Thanks.
My old saying. If food comes in a box , it's probably not too good. Thanks Doc, love your videos 😊
Yeah: it's so much better when it comes in an estrogen-coated wax wrapper, inside a paper bag at the drive-thru window!
Nature is pretty good at making toxic foods too. If the plants don't get you the micro bugs will.
Frosted Flakes aren't good!?
Brah even peanuts and corn are bad for liver apparently. I give up.
I'd rather eat fresh peas.
I know this channel is all about a strict keto diet and that Eric Berg helps a lot of people by educating them but I started taking a tiny teaspoon of honey sometimes, and even though it has fructose in it I don't think that is necessarily bad for my health. It's raw honey collected in the mountains where my greatgrandma lives, in the northwest of Spain. Purest air ever. I refuse to believe eating legumes and honey and potatoes harvested at home is worse than eating bacon from the supermarket.
I agree. Honey has nutritional benefits not found in processed sugars. I also take homegrown potatoes and legumes frequently and in moderation at a meal. The human body is built for a wide variety of foods, so if they are well produced whole foods, I have no problem eating them.
I'm 100% with you.
@@itsgettingold The longest lived populations on the planet consumed legumes. Bacon, not so much.
@@aWomanFreed I've heard that before, very interesting! But humans have been eating vegetables cooked and raw for a long time, do you think we are not really built to consume them? I red somewhere that most of them were modified by us over the years but I'm not sure.
@@aWomanFreed He did make videos on oxalates loaded vegetables. Quite a few. And he explained how to deal with it or to not have them at all. Additionally, he explained that people with serious gut issues should go keto carnivore for a while or a long time as needed.
I don’t know what it is dr berg but everytime you talk, & advise us I listen really carefully & take everything in. Then tell my family what to have less of or more of. So thank you so much dr berg I found this very helpful as I found out about fructose the hard way. It made me feel really sick & I felt bad for a few days. Thank you again dr berg 😊💯
I appreciate the simplicity of knowing what I should be steering clear of...Thank you 😊
Ok, my grandfather lived 98 years. He had never used RUclips. He told me - whatever you get in the market, buy according to your pocket cook it and eat it. Daily common exercise is also important. That's all.
Please understand the older generations mostly missed the poisoned processed foods. Foods are nothing like they were when he was growing up. Our food supply started getting bad in the 70's and REALLY bad since the 90's. Most people in their 50's and younger are suffering some form of chronic illness.
Carry on
The Marlboro man lived to a ripe old age too. Some people just get lucky. Most don't.
The problem is that food has changed dramatically since the 50's & 60's. Most food is a community & fresh fruit & vegetables just don't contain the amount of vitamins they had in the past.

Now I see that beer is absolutely fine for my liver. Great relief. Thank you, doctor :)
Maltodextrin (Corn Syrup) is common, natural ingredient used to increase body and mouth feel in beer. Maltodextrin is only 30% fermentable, the remaining solids increase the "thickness" of the beer producing a creamy, closed head.
Peer-reviewed studies have shown that roasting peanuts destroy most aflatoxins, but this can make them more allergenic. I'm switching to valencia peanuts and MaraNatha brand peanut butter (100% valencia peanuts) anyway. I'm happy to see that raw valencias are plentiful, as I enjoy roasting them myself, getting the freshest peanuts in town.
Thank you so much for this! When I first began my keto journey 3 years ago, it helped to remember your warnings and sometimes, I'd say "What would Dr. Berg do?" This list is so convenient as a NON-shopping list! Thank you!
When my daughters were teens, I noticed they were getting “cellulite”. I read up and switched to whole milk and the bumps went away. Our bodies are designed to work with whole foods. When we process the fat out of milk, then add back in half to make 2%, it changes the molecule size and the body doesn’t know what to do with it so it stores it (like fluoride which is also not good for you).
The same with bread, its mainly starch. When you grind the wheat berries and use ALL of it when making bread ,blood sugars do not spike like it does with store bought.

Yeah, I dont buy it either. Especially if it's a high quality whey
I would love to see a list of thing we should be consuming to make our liver healthy
That’s the next video. Scroll to last 10 seconds of this video
Thank you for increasing awareness from Johannesburg South Africa 👍
Doc , so informative, especially for someone like myself that has had a liver transplant. Thanks heaps and please keep up the good work, cheers. Jim
Curious, doc: since YOU CONFUSE grains, cereals, plants, seeds & beans with "vegetables" do you also refer to borage oil as "vegetable oil"?? Corn , soy, canola & cottonSEED are all PLANTS but NOT one of them is a vegetable, FYI!
Guys thanks him this guy did not advise to stop drinking water till now.thank you sir
Fructose as in processed high fructose corn syrup, agave, processed juices. A great explanation of fructose is in Dr David Perlmutter’s new book - “Drop Acid”. Whole fruit is not the same thing. Good luck on your health journey! 👍🏽
I am from India (Tamilnadu), in our rich culture we never take fatty processed foods, White sugar, hybrid grown vegetables, Red meat (Limited consume), Alcohol etc. we usually take naturally grown vegetables fruits, Jaggery (Instead of white sugar), cow Ghee, butter, butter milk, curd, milk, organic rice, lot of physical work in our routine, Yoga, Meditation, Pooja in temple.
Good for you. Nobody cares.
What is jaggery, and what is pooja?
@@braumenheimer9607Jaggery means the natural unprocessed form of sugar you get from Sugar cane, Coconut, Dates etc.
And Pooja means the worshipping method for Gods (in Hindu rituals).
Thanks for pointing out Maltodextrin. I was taking psyllium fiber powder from Metmucil and noticed it had dextrin in it and finally understood why I was being kicked out of ketosis.
Plain dextrin is not as bad as maltodextrin.
Maltodextrin has an Glycemic index of 120-136
While Dextrose has an Glycemic index of 100
Also dehydrate fruit powders have it too a lot of them 😢
These videos are bascally like having a free nutritionist. RUclips marketing pays for it all! This is great!
I have been a vegan eating tons of soy and pea protein for 40 years. My tip is to adds flax seed and/or chia seed to get the omega-3's which fix all the issues highlighted in this video with soy powder.
