Twisted Soul he doesn’t need Muscles he just want to be healthy and being at low level of one’s BMI wight chart is the best way to do it for Knee’s and overall health🙂
Twisted Soul Arnold is a hardcore Muscle builder who does gym twice daily and yes he does need lot of carbs and protein to maintain his huge mass. Most of us who do daily 8hr jobs don’t need that much and Dr.Berg is one of them. That’s all I am pointing out and don’t compare Horse to a Lion😅
@Twisted Soul exactly and people tend to forget that maintaining muscle mass which has been stuck on the body for quite some time doesn't atrophy as fast.
Tell her it's to please her, to be more physically attractive to her, on top of being healthier, and thus, raising the whole family's quality of life (as emotions tend to always spread to close relatives given enough time or intensity). if you have kids, tell her that it's so you can be healthy and grow old enough to see your grandchildren (or grand-grand children).
Involve your wife in what you're doing. Get her on the 8 hour eating window with you, then try to prepare your meals and eat your meals TOGETHER. Even share in the grocery shopping and choosing the foods you'll buy for the meals. Then most importantly, be affectionate to her. Hug on her, smooches on the lips, holding her hand or putting your arm around her sometimes. I hope you get the picture. It sounds like she's just not feeling special to you as you become more attractive with your life style change... and you might not realize just how much love she has in her heart for you. I think she's just feeling left out or not inclusive in your new life style. Keep talking to her. I'm praying that things will work out for you. When most of what you see everywhere is divorce OR wild out of control singles in many short relationships, and plenty of hurting children being brought into the world then they grow up in the ugliness that's the result of the brokenness of relationships... (you see what I'm saying), it makes me want to pray for marriages... even when I don't know the people.😊 TRUE LOVE AND COMMITMENT has just fallen by the wayside SO it's not enough to just "tell her" you're not cheating... show her too. I said all of that to say... I'm praying for you and hope things work out with your wife. FYI... since this was not a marriage counseling video😂😂, I just want to throw in that Dr Berg always post some pretty good information in these videos.😂😂 Blessings everyone!
Dr Berg, I have gone through an amazing journey over the past few years. I'm an ex rugby player, 196 cm tall and I weighed 108kg. Since 2008, I've had: Knee operation Shoulder operation Appendix removed Compartment syndrome operations, TWICE Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome operation, crazy recovery period! I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, ontop of having 2 discs completely crushed over the years of different sports, which lead to a back fusion I had a year and a half ago. I couldn't exercise for years leading up to my back fusion, and I had chronic pain in my back. I weighed 103kg, with lost muscle and more fat. Just before my back fusion I started doing fasting and low carb. Fast forward to now, my gut bacteria completely fixed and my spondylitis symptoms are completely gone! My back fusion is a massive success and I feel great weighing 95kg with a 6 pack and great body composition. I would thank you and Thomas de Lauer for my success. I haven't posted anything like this before, sharing my story. It's greatly appreciated!
@@jasonhicks3084 Sure man. What doctor diagnosed you with with AS? Have you done an MRI to see if it has affected the bone or not? You can actually see on my MRI where the arthritis damaged some of my bone, it looks like tiny drill holes in my back. I'm asking this before I tell you all the medication I used.
Nick JvR: I am 60 and have been through a bit myself but with the help of people like Dr. Berg, I feel better now than when I was in my 30's. I'm now doing weight training and OMAD. No breakfast, No lunch, just tea (dinner) at 6pm. I have a normal meal but then an hour later I have a high nutritious yummy Kale Smoothie. As I've workout before in the 70's, First time I started back with weights I could feel that love of pumped muscle I never had in years. A great feeling.
@@andrewglagau8685 That's awesome Andrew! My dad is 65 and my father in law is 55, I'm trying to get everyone on this! A couple of my friends and my brother decided to try it, after putting up a lot of resistance. My brother lost about 40kg in 1 year and ran a marathon a few weeks ago. People think it's a fad, but it's truly life changing. I'm 31, so with all the damage I have on my body, this will be a great tool to keep me feeling 30 for as long as possible!
In my experience as a natural powerlifter IF helps retain muscle... However to lift the weights needed to create real muscle mass.. u need more carbs and carbs pre workout. Two days a week I don't do IF and get a pre workout meal in. I have tried and tried otherwise and u simply cannot do it with any success.
How do u gain muscle on IF?? IF puts the body into a starvation mode. When ur body goes into starvation mode it feeds on your muscle and u lose strength. That’s why body builders eat like 8 times a day. I’m a weight lifter but I need to lose fat.
Because when your body comes out of the fast and you finally eat it absorbs the nutrients out of the food better than if you were eating regularly through out the day.
Thank you, sir! I lost 125 lbs with your help, and I'm looking forward to gaining lean mass with your help. More 'healthy bulking' videos would be appreciated. You rock!
Bryan Ladd could you help me please ..how much protein you eat per meal and carbs?you need something like Serious mass or something ...and no water after 6 pm ?thank you
Nice video! A study has actually shown that IF preserves lean muscle mass when in a caloric deficit. So, I definitely use it for protecting my muscles while losing weight!
@TheENofficial In an 8-week trial, researchers split 34 men who were experienced in weight training into two groups and both groups were assigned the same amount of calories and protein per day. The groups only differed in the meal timing. One group performed intermittent fasting with an 8-hrs eating window, while the second group followed a normal diet with breakfast, lunch and dinner. By the end of the study, neither group had lost lean mass or strength. However, the time-restricted group lost on average 1.6 kg of fat, while there was no significant fat loss in the normal diet group. -> more fat loss without extra loss in lean muscle mass. Ref: Moro et al., Effects of eight weeks of time-restricted feeding (16/8) on basal metabolism, maximal strength, body composition, inflammation, and cardiovascular risk factors in resistance-trained males, J Transl Med, 2016
@TheENofficial - Dude. Fasting definitely preserves lean muscle. I did IF on a vegan diet and lifted for 1.5yr. No supplements. 16-19h fasts. I looked like a beast. (Though I had to eat heaps of food ona vegan diet)
@@jeremiaha5167 Wow thats some going on a vegan diet, I'm basically on a Pescatarian diet doing I.F Keto-Low Carbs. But I've also got a Compromised Immune System, where by I need to boost my Immune System! So did you fuel up before a work out or would you fuel up afterwards?
To get sore is not the stimulus for muscle growth. If you get sore, you have to have repair before growth. Maximum Mechanical load for a certain time for the high twich muscle fibers is the stimulus. The calories 3000 per day and Protein 400-500 grams are way to high. You can only add some grams of muscle protein per day, so the rest is meabolized to glucose. So you can just skip the carbs on high protein meals.
Dated a girl once who was super sweet. She caused my insulin to spike. Broke up with her. Been in ketosis ever since. Thank you Dr. Berg. This stuff works for relationships too!!!
Serious Mass was a supplement I used to take every single day on the year of 2014. I did put on weight. But it backfired dramatically. Insulin Resistance was knocking on the door within several months and I kept taking it because I had no idea what Insulin Resistance was. Im glad I've encountered Dr. Berg's videos to get me out of this mess. Thank you Dr. Berg.
@@red1inerr113 exactly not knowing what the ingredients are seems to get us in trouble. I love his videos because I saw the name but had no idea what they meant. Im gonna make sure I'm reading these labels more.
From personal experience (been lifting weights in the strength category for 14 years now), if you do a long fast (72 hrs.) you probably can perform normally in the strength category (6 reps or less at 85-100% of your 1 rep max) on your first workout within 24 hrs. After 24 hrs., your strength will likely go down quite a bit and sure the resistance training will help produce growth hormone to prevent muscle loss and I was taking a multivitamin and getting plenty of sleep, but you will most likely not perform normally in the strength category after your first workout. Intermittent fasting, as least for me, works fine to still build strength as long as I have a meal to refuel.
@@sairos4057it helped me but not greately. I took 100 grams of protein in my omad. I lost weight but the muscle definition was quite low. So i stopped doing omad. You can try the IF but eat 2 meals and take raw prtotein powder in between.
Thank Dr. Berg for this video. The problem with much of the advise concerning muscle and strength gains is that it comes from the professional bodybuilding community. While there maybe a kernel of truth to much of the nutritional advise that they dispense, it really only applies to their community and not to the general public. I could be wrong about this, but this is where the notion of carb loading for muscle hypertrophy comes from. Given the high volume of exercise that the professional bodybuilding requires, along with the copious amount of performance enhancing drugs they incorporate, that extreme lifestyle necessitates high carb intake so as to elevate insulin levels to maximize muscle protein synthesis. That is partly why, for decades, people have been duped by this notion that they must eat 6 times a day, and specifically time carb intake around workouts. While this works for a bodybuilder doing grueling workouts that most people won't do, and such a dietary pattern is required for THEM to maximize the benefit of performance enhancing drugs, such advise, when extrapolated to the general population, only serves to make us insulin resistant and fat. It would be like saying that because jet fuel works well to propel a fighter jet to Mach 2, therefore, if you put jet fuel in your Honda Civic it too can reach Mach 2.
Food activates mtor,,,, signaling pathway to build and grow,,,,, insulin packs energy into cells,, sugar is fast stored energy,,, helpful for exercise ,,,
Sorry, 7 ounces of PROTEIN per meal? That's insane! If I'm not wrong with the numbers this means that every meal you should eat like 1kg of chicken for example, correct me if I'm wrong, please.
I did fasting and compound movements for 1 year straight. Just weighted push ups, Bulgarian split squats and bent over barbell row 3 times a week 5 sets each and 8-12 rep range and gained over 20 lbs of muscle!
I let myself go for the past few years and was looking a little chubby and I started intermittent fasting following this channel's advice and lost so much weight! My clothes fit how they used to and now I'm back to my slim self again and my aunts aren't commenting on my weight anymore at family functions lol. Anyways now I want to step it up and start gaining muscle and look more toned and less soft/skinny-fat so I will follow this as well. 💪Hopefully it will help me again. I definitely need to better my sleep schedule since it's all out of whack and adjust some stuff here and there so thank you for this video! Now I can be more efficient 😁. And yes there are times when you fall off and get off track I've been there but NEVER GIVE UP and don't let that discourage you from your goal. You have to dust yourself off and pick up where you left off as if it never happened and you WILL see the results. It's not always going to be a straight line to the goal but that's with anything. What matters is your patience to get to the end goal and you'll get there before you know it. Just keep your eyes on the ball! 😁 Thank you so much for everything. I was on a plateau for the longest time and I never believed I could get back to my high school weight again but I saw that I can and now I bet I can gain muscle and get into even better shape than before! If I could do it ( gluttonous ), I know whoever is reading this can too 😁.
100 push ups a day helped me develop athletic looking arms and a decent looking chest. Been doing this for over two years. Patience, motivation and dedication is needed. It works.
I did this also.... 100 pushups instantly when i got up, and right before sleep. Had accident now, cannot do it because of bone injury. Big loss. Also dolphin kicks. Thats all people need to do, and can do it no tools or weights needed, on your floor next to bed. Super easy and really helps. Throw in swimming and youre set. 2-1-1, protein to carbs and fats. Easy to remember and free to do, and quick
I do one meal a day and lift weights and do cardio on an empty stomach i be having tons of energy and more muscle than ever and stronger than ever dont make sense to me but its just work and i dont get aches and pains
Humans were literally designed to eat one big meal a day. Thats how our ancestors lived for hundreds of millenia, so its no surprise that you and millions of other people feel better than ever when they switch to OMAD. we arent meant to graze all day like cows.
I wish we had these kind of videos 25 years ago when I was at the gym 5 days a week. I took in way too much carbs, high protein, low fat and many other issues.
Complex carbohydrates and eating many veggies during the same meal n adding the fats or protiens won't affect the blood sugar :) it is also nutrient dense, it's more about the glycemic index of the whole meal than the individual food itself
If you work a sedentary job, sure. But If you're a construction worker, plus the 3-4 intense workouts per week, 2 meals over an 8 hour window is a bad idea for putting on muscle. Maybe if you're trying to do a cut and get down to 8% body fat. I think 3 meals over a 12 hour window is the way to go for a bulk
Hello Dr. Berg, my name is Lorenz, i am from Germany and i love watching your videos. Thanks for all this good information! Very easy to understand, but one thing i do not understand. If i go for Intermittent Fasting and Keto and i want to gain muscle mass (like you describe in this video), but i should only consume 50-70g of carbs per day. How do i get 1500kcal per Meal? 70g carbs * 6kcal = 420kcal. So there are about 1080kcal per meal, which i have to cover with protein and fat. How is this possible? I would really appreciate it very much, if you or other people here in the community can give me some advice :) Many greetings from Germany, Lorenz
Heard of Dr. Berg on RUclips and I decided to follow his instruction on interment fasting and loosing weight . I started IF on 11 of May 2020 and my weight was 89kg my current weight now is 72kg and still going
The only thing I'm stuck on here is the quantity of protein. 8oz of protein is Nearly 38 eggs.. and that's per meal. Not sure how anyone could get that without a protein supplement! (I'm veggie)
thanks to you, I lost ~40 lbs of fat in 3 months and only about 2 lbs of muscle mass. It was a serious transformation and inspired me to achieve more. Thanks, Eric!
@@lightbeingpontifex whenever youre in a calorie deficit (eating less than your body needs), you'll lose fat (stored energy) but also some muscle, since your body also needs fat so a lot of organs and functions work correctly, that's why natural bodybuilding is very bad for your health, whenever you drop too low on body fat, your hormones such as testosterone can shut down or have very small production compared to a healthy body fat percentage/good fat to muscle balance
@@lightbeingpontifex depends on the person, some feel great at 12% and others feel bad at 12%. the ideal is somewhere you feel confortable at around 18% to 12%, thats the range for a healthy and atletic body fat
I can do it if the majority of it is in liquid form. Like I make melon juice and I feel I can actually get crazy amounts of calories in easily while doing that. I know it's not keto but if you want more calories, fruit and vegetable juices are my pick.
so far my mom has dropped 9 lbs in 6 weeks intermittent fasting and my twin sister has lost 17 pounds in 8 weeks intermittent fasting. So don't give up people, intermittent fasting definitely is not a gimmick!!
6-8 oz per meal for 2 meals is 340-450 grams of protein in total! How the hell am I supposed to eat/get that much? Im no giant bodybuilder! Thats like 50-70 eggs!
After I started my low carb diet, I can actually go 16 hours without eating. Now I don't crave carbs and actually don't feel well when I eat too much starch. Been eating my 45 eggs per day lol. Thanks Dr. Berg, you've helped me tremendously.
I was literally researching this topic just now as i'm 3 weeks into keto/fasting and plan on starting training again. Doc it's like you read my mind! Is it ok to eat a Banana pre-workout to fill that 50g carb goal? Or should i choose something that does not contain sugar?
Eating a banana or other sugary food during or immediately after a workout is the perfect time to eat it because your body is in a glycemic depleted state, therefore it actually utilises those sugars effectively rather than the carbs going through glyconeogenesis and turning into stored-fat to use when you’re in a sedentary state. Short answer: yes, eat the banana.
i suggest not, take some mct oil for energy, no need for carbs. for potassium and electrolytes drink some vegetable juice, it's better than any energy drink for getting some minerals back. kiwi is also amazing, better than banana: less calories, more vitamins and minerals.
I started fasting for 24 hours and next day eating between lunch and 7pm-Repeat. I've started doing weights again after lockdown, but don't feel the soreness that shows muscle growth the day after, I just feel exhausted and weaker.. I am overweight, but felt much stronger eating carbs and like my muscles were growing. I really want to enjoy the benefits of fasting, but really hope I will overcome this phase. Maybe it's just not for me! I'm a 52 year old guy. Thanks to anyone who has a suggestion or encouragement
Allen Berry I like doing a carb backloading approach, eat fats, proteins and greens in the day and have a carb meal Before bed (sweet potatoes) or second to last meal To be honest I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a big insulin spike, as long as it’s only once a day, the body can handle that
Hi, Dr. Berg recommends around 0,7g of protein/lb if you're young and very active. I myself consume more but there's really not a lot of benefits for that, even as far as building muscle.
I can not believe it...!!! every time i am thinking of something and like to get information there you have a video about it. Awesome appreciated. I love your board work it is perfect to me. The colors the breakdowns the grouping and so on. Great job Doctor Berg
Thanks for the video. Been doing IF for almost 4 years, 16:8 approach and crossfit 5 times per week. Tried low carb/keto style of eating but did not work for me. No energy, unable to finish several workouts, bad recovery & definitely no muscle or strength gain. Got back to my carb cycling (low/moderate/high days) and everything’s back to normal. Not saying bad idea but not for everyone!
Haiiibooo !!! Around 200grams of protein per meal is madness. Thats like 10 eggs (70g protein), 300g steak (roughly 80g protein) and a desperate attempt to reach 200grams would be to add a 40g collagen 10g Cacao mixed small smoothy ... Wouldn't that be too much protein in one hit? Best i get my hydrochloric acid prepped lol
Hello Dr. Berg, I found out very contradictory informations in your videos. In some videos you were talking about 40g proteins per meal 3 times per day for athletes and that general requirements(300g per day) are not correct, that is too much In this video you were saying about consumption of proteins between 6oz(170g) - 9oz(255g) per meal 2times per day which give us together 340g - 510g protein per day. Simplified said, in some videos you would recommend to eat 120g protein per day, in this video you recommend 340 g - 510g proteins per day for athletes/muscle-builders. It is very contradictory. Could you please explain me this? Thanks
Question, you are saying 6-8oz of protein per meal, do you mean 6-8oz of say chicken/meat/fish or end number of protein? I’ll elaborate. 8oz (225g of say meat = 75-90g of protein) is this what’s being implied or the amount of meat necessary to give 225g of actual protein per meal?) Thank you!
Dr. Eric you had told in one of your videos that only 25-35 grams of protein can be absorbed in one meal but here you are telling to have 170-200 gram(6-8oz) in one meal. This is confusing. Pls tell
People on a SAD eating plan can do that easily. A visit to a fast food place can easily exceed daily calorie intake. Mike Mutzel's wife is an OMAD follower and eats it a in one sitting.
@@loky7395 incorrect. Whether im eating whole foods or not, 3000 calories is easy. Im also 160 pounds so not much muscle. But i am a former obese individual so like i said, i just have a huge appetite
@@thakraken6995 that is fascinating, i am very active and experienced lifter, but eating salmon, rice, sweet potatoes after my workout i can not pass 1000 cal., more than that I would vomit
How do you guys even manage to find that much protein in your food? I eat nuts, either Salmon or Steak, 4 eggs and a bunch of other stuff and barely even reach 120g ( 4 onces) per day! 6 to 8 per meal looks impossible...
But how do I split my macros without my body converting protein into glucose? According to my BMI I need 2400 calories to gain weight. How do I do that doc?
Some people say the body cannot digest more than 30 to 40g protein per meal.. 6 to 8 oz per meal = 170 to 220g per sitting , is this not an overkill doctor? I am way too confused here
I still cant get my head around the fact that you can build muscle with 1 meal a day and fasting......its the opposite of everything that we are told, albeit by bodybuilders, about what to do: eat as many calories and protein as possible, which means eating multiple meals otherwise it is not possible to get it all in.

Never clicked a video so fast Dr. B! I’m a female fitness competitor that’s been doing OMAD IF and Keto for a month and this has been my struggle 🙏🏽❤️ Thank God for you 🙏🏽
What are you trying to do? Bulk or cut? If bulk, add more fats during the eating window. Or, add more carbs. As a natty, doing keto/IF, it will take a long time and NO room for error.
Kate Apted In à sense both simultaneously I need to cut fat and bulk muscle. Right now I’m focusing on losing the fat then I’ll build the muscle hopefully what I’m experimenting I’m actually doing them at the same time.
Did you just say 50 grams carb per day for bulking up 😂 I am 184 cm consuming 200 grams carbs per day and just gaining 500 gram weight per month if I do 50 grams per day then I will look like a skeleton in a few months
Dr Eric knows how to read minds. Some of your previous videos have already pointed me in the right direction on this subject. I’m very happy knowing I’ve been doing it correctly because you have us so educated. Thanks.
I’ve found the more fasting I do the more weigh I lose the more muscle I lose, fasting is great if you need to lose weigh but if your lean start to look like vegan If you don’t need to lose weight I don’t think should go more then 16hr
I’m 5 10 140 not much fat there I’m cutting back on fasting so I put on 15 lb or so, I get criticized every day by people thinking that I have cancer or sick because how I look
@@billmartinez2253 they think you have cancer because of less weight crazy.... To gain weight take probiotics...take ones that don't cause you any bloating
@Dr. Eric Berg DC Wait, I dont understand. You say, I need 200gramm of protein per meal, what would make 400g protein? You say, I need 1500 calories per meal, what would make 3000 calories per day, when I make interm.fasting and training for muscle gains? I grow in muscles and lose fat, now with on average 120g per day and around 2000 calories eaten. The numbers seem to be a bit to high from the video, or shall I increase? Beeing confused now...
6-8oz of protein source, not protein. For example: 6-8 oz of red meat. No reason at all to be taking in over 100g of protein a day, that just spikes insulin even more than necessary
Great content. A question I have is what foods can someone eat to reach a 2,700 or 3,000 calorie goal per day while staying between 50 to 70 grams of carbohydrates? I’m having a difficult time staying under the carb limit while trying to get enough calories
I'm 53 years old and have been doing OMAD for the past few months and basically eating pizza, cheesesteaks, Jersey Mike Subs, Chinese Takeout and anything I want but I've still lost weight and I'm down to my college graduation weight which is 181 lbs. at 6 ft. tall. I am also becoming more muscular and getting stronger every month - not because I am eating a lot of protein or "healthy foods" but I believe because I am getting sufficient sleep and rest between workouts. Our bodies heal themselves (and we grow stronger) when we sleep so I think that is #1. #2 is I don't work out to max effort on any set - I usually only do 80% max effort per set - this enables me to do more volume with better form... and recover quicker, IMO. It has been a very eye-opening experience for me as I always thought "max effort" and lots of protein were key to building muscle and strength.
I did intermittent fasting (2x24hr fasts per week) whilst working out 3 to 4 times per week for 2 years. I lost fat and gained muscle at the same time.
Do you REALLY mean 8oz protein per meal? Twice a Day? It is around 1kg of raw meat or fish, 700-750 gr cooked. Or 35 eggs per meal. I dont believe there are many people on a planet Who can do this regularly. Please clarify on that
Have you checked Dr Berg's videos the types of carbs? Rice is going to bring blood sugar up way too much. Plus rice is quite poor in nutrients compared to actual vegetables, which are already providing carbs.
I can't do fasting more than 16 hours since I won't get enough kcal: I don't feel like eating. I will have my first meal then struggle to eat enough in the evening. Resulting in low libido, irritability.
@@ZyroSugar that worth a try. 25 years ago I did one meal a day, as well as only veg, no animal of any sort. etc. I was so slim and yet so strong. But my body forgot it all. I am a sport person and need energy for my long cycling training. When I did again iTF i started to feel weak since I couldnt eat enough... i gotta probably start with 14 hours and add in some smoothies like you suggested. thanks buddy.
Can anyone explain to me what dr Berg means by 6-8 ounces of protein? Because that translates to 170 to 226 grams of protein per meal. If I eat 2 meals do i multiply it by 2? That seems like an enormous amounts of protein (2-3g of protein per pound of mass in my case)
We need more of these muscle building Videos,this was excellent video.
Twisted Soul I don’t believe he’s into muscle building,many people just like to stay lean which is understandable.
Twisted Soul he doesn’t need Muscles he just want to be healthy and being at low level of one’s BMI wight chart is the best way to do it for Knee’s and overall health🙂
Twisted Soul Arnold is a hardcore Muscle builder who does gym twice daily and yes he does need lot of carbs and protein to maintain his huge mass. Most of us who do daily 8hr jobs don’t need that much and Dr.Berg is one of them. That’s all I am pointing out and don’t compare Horse to a Lion😅
I concur, more vids that include performing better athletically. Seems like most of this audience is here for weight loss though :(
@Twisted Soul exactly and people tend to forget that maintaining muscle mass which has been stuck on the body for quite some time doesn't atrophy as fast.
I started 16/8 IF Nov 2018. I went from 175 to 153lb and put on 7-8 lbs of muscle so far. Only down side is that my wife thinks I am cheating on her.
Tell her it's to please her, to be more physically attractive to her, on top of being healthier, and thus, raising the whole family's quality of life (as emotions tend to always spread to close relatives given enough time or intensity).
if you have kids, tell her that it's so you can be healthy and grow old enough to see your grandchildren (or grand-grand children).
@@1yoan3 I literally have told her exactly that! lol

@@rath_says1368what happened?
Dr Berg, I have gone through an amazing journey over the past few years.
I'm an ex rugby player, 196 cm tall and I weighed 108kg.
Since 2008, I've had:
Knee operation
Shoulder operation
Appendix removed
Compartment syndrome operations, TWICE
Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome operation, crazy recovery period!
I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, ontop of having 2 discs completely crushed over the years of different sports, which lead to a back fusion I had a year and a half ago.
I couldn't exercise for years leading up to my back fusion, and I had chronic pain in my back. I weighed 103kg, with lost muscle and more fat.
Just before my back fusion I started doing fasting and low carb.
Fast forward to now, my gut bacteria completely fixed and my spondylitis symptoms are completely gone! My back fusion is a massive success and I feel great weighing 95kg with a 6 pack and great body composition.
I would thank you and Thomas de Lauer for my success.
I haven't posted anything like this before, sharing my story.
It's greatly appreciated!
congrats💪
your experience really so helpful
I'm 20 and was just diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis. Maybe you have some tips
@@jasonhicks3084 Sure man.
What doctor diagnosed you with with AS? Have you done an MRI to see if it has affected the bone or not? You can actually see on my MRI where the arthritis damaged some of my bone, it looks like tiny drill holes in my back.
I'm asking this before I tell you all the medication I used.
Nick JvR: I am 60 and have been through a bit myself but with the help of people like Dr. Berg, I feel better now than when I was in my 30's. I'm now doing weight training and OMAD. No breakfast, No lunch, just tea (dinner) at 6pm. I have a normal meal but then an hour later I have a high nutritious yummy Kale Smoothie. As I've workout before in the 70's, First time I started back with weights I could feel that love of pumped muscle I never had in years. A great feeling.
@@andrewglagau8685 That's awesome Andrew! My dad is 65 and my father in law is 55, I'm trying to get everyone on this!
A couple of my friends and my brother decided to try it, after putting up a lot of resistance. My brother lost about 40kg in 1 year and ran a marathon a few weeks ago.
People think it's a fad, but it's truly life changing.
I'm 31, so with all the damage I have on my body, this will be a great tool to keep me feeling 30 for as long as possible!
In my experience as a natural powerlifter IF helps retain muscle... However to lift the weights needed to create real muscle mass.. u need more carbs and carbs pre workout. Two days a week I don't do IF and get a pre workout meal in. I have tried and tried otherwise and u simply cannot do it with any success.
How do u gain muscle on IF?? IF puts the body into a starvation mode. When ur body goes into starvation mode it feeds on your muscle and u lose strength. That’s why body builders eat like 8 times a day. I’m a weight lifter but I need to lose fat.
Because when your body comes out of the fast and you finally eat it absorbs the nutrients out of the food better than if you were eating regularly through out the day.
Thank you, sir! I lost 125 lbs with your help, and I'm looking forward to gaining lean mass with your help. More 'healthy bulking' videos would be appreciated. You rock!
Way to go Bryan!
Congrats! And yes I agree. Love these vids
Bryan Ladd could you help me please ..how much protein you eat per meal and carbs?you need something like Serious mass or something ...and no water after 6 pm ?thank you
Wow super well done Bryan! 💪💪💪👏👏👏
@@Cos-by7fb Serious Mass is not good to achieve a good body. Way too much carbs! I use Dr Berg's videos to achieve my results 💪💪💪
Nice video! A study has actually shown that IF preserves lean muscle mass when in a caloric deficit. So, I definitely use it for protecting my muscles while losing weight!
@TheENofficial In an 8-week trial, researchers split 34 men who were experienced in weight training into two groups and both groups were assigned the same amount of calories and protein per day. The groups only differed in the meal timing. One group performed intermittent fasting with an 8-hrs eating window, while the second group followed a normal diet with breakfast, lunch and dinner.
By the end of the study, neither group had lost lean mass or strength. However, the time-restricted group lost on average 1.6 kg of fat, while there was no significant fat loss in the normal diet group.
-> more fat loss without extra loss in lean muscle mass.
Ref: Moro et al., Effects of eight weeks of time-restricted feeding (16/8) on basal metabolism, maximal strength, body composition, inflammation, and cardiovascular risk factors in resistance-trained males, J Transl Med, 2016
TheENofficial thanks for the info, i always knew IF has nothing to do with helping lean muscle mass
@TheENofficial - Dude. Fasting definitely preserves lean muscle. I did IF on a vegan diet and lifted for 1.5yr. No supplements. 16-19h fasts. I looked like a beast.
(Though I had to eat heaps of food ona vegan diet)
Feedback after 1 year? I use Dr Berg's videos on potassium to build muscles up but I'm looking for other people's feedback.
@@jeremiaha5167 Wow thats some going on a vegan diet, I'm basically on a Pescatarian diet doing I.F Keto-Low Carbs. But I've also got a Compromised Immune System, where by I need to boost my Immune System! So did you fuel up before a work out or would you fuel up afterwards?
To get sore is not the stimulus for muscle growth. If you get sore, you have to have repair before growth. Maximum Mechanical load for a certain time for the high twich muscle fibers is the stimulus.
The calories 3000 per day and Protein 400-500 grams are way to high. You can only add some grams of muscle protein per day, so the rest is meabolized to glucose. So you can just skip the carbs on high protein meals.
Dated a girl once who was super sweet. She caused my insulin to spike. Broke up with her. Been in ketosis ever since. Thank you Dr. Berg. This stuff works for relationships too!!!
Bro... 😄
🥲
With ketosis would've made this comment perfect
Serious Mass was a supplement I used to take every single day on the year of 2014.
I did put on weight. But it backfired dramatically. Insulin Resistance was knocking on the door within several months and I kept taking it because I had no idea what Insulin Resistance was.
Im glad I've encountered Dr. Berg's videos to get me out of this mess.
Thank you Dr. Berg.
Wow that stuff is basically scoops of sugar
Thank you so much for sharing that incredible story WOW
Not only that particular supplement but all protein shakes lead to insulin resistance! ALL!
Maltodextrin made it even worse! Lots of protein powders use maltodextrin. Check does labels folks...best wishes to all.
@@red1inerr113 exactly not knowing what the ingredients are seems to get us in trouble. I love his videos because I saw the name but had no idea what they meant. Im gonna make sure I'm reading these labels more.
From personal experience (been lifting weights in the strength category for 14 years now), if you do a long fast (72 hrs.) you probably can perform normally in the strength category (6 reps or less at 85-100% of your 1 rep max) on your first workout within 24 hrs. After 24 hrs., your strength will likely go down quite a bit and sure the resistance training will help produce growth hormone to prevent muscle loss and I was taking a multivitamin and getting plenty of sleep, but you will most likely not perform normally in the strength category after your first workout. Intermittent fasting, as least for me, works fine to still build strength as long as I have a meal to refuel.
So this is means you can still build muscles even if you eat once a day, right?
@@sairos4057it helped me but not greately. I took 100 grams of protein in my omad. I lost weight but the muscle definition was quite low. So i stopped doing omad. You can try the IF but eat 2 meals and take raw prtotein powder in between.
Lifting while fasted spikes cortisol, which blows the whole paradigm of perceived benefits. Not worth it.
Thank Dr. Berg for this video. The problem with much of the advise concerning muscle and strength gains is that it comes from the professional bodybuilding community. While there maybe a kernel of truth to much of the nutritional advise that they dispense, it really only applies to their community and not to the general public. I could be wrong about this, but this is where the notion of carb loading for muscle hypertrophy comes from. Given the high volume of exercise that the professional bodybuilding requires, along with the copious amount of performance enhancing drugs they incorporate, that extreme lifestyle necessitates high carb intake so as to elevate insulin levels to maximize muscle protein synthesis. That is partly why, for decades, people have been duped by this notion that they must eat 6 times a day, and specifically time carb intake around workouts. While this works for a bodybuilder doing grueling workouts that most people won't do, and such a dietary pattern is required for THEM to maximize the benefit of performance enhancing drugs, such advise, when extrapolated to the general population, only serves to make us insulin resistant and fat. It would be like saying that because jet fuel works well to propel a fighter jet to Mach 2, therefore, if you put jet fuel in your Honda Civic it too can reach Mach 2.
A Mach 2, Honda Civic, would be pretty awesome.
Food activates mtor,,,, signaling pathway to build and grow,,,,, insulin packs energy into cells,, sugar is fast stored energy,,, helpful for exercise ,,,
Sorry, 7 ounces of PROTEIN per meal? That's insane! If I'm not wrong with the numbers this means that every meal you should eat like 1kg of chicken for example, correct me if I'm wrong, please.
Love this video! More on weight lifting & muscle mass please and thank you :)
Does this video seriously suggests 230g of protein per meal? Two meals a day 2x230 = 460g of protein in 8h window? Are you having a laugh 😮?
I guess it means 230g of fish or eggs
While watching his vids, I flex my brain and build up my knowledge base.
The rest will follow.
Alhamdulillah
I did fasting and compound movements for 1 year straight. Just weighted push ups, Bulgarian split squats and bent over barbell row 3 times a week 5 sets each and 8-12 rep range and gained over 20 lbs of muscle!
what did your macros look like and did you do 16/8?
I don't get the numbers at all.
You said 9 oz protein per meal.
That is litreally 800 grams of chicken breat.
That is not okey.
I let myself go for the past few years and was looking a little chubby and I started intermittent fasting following this channel's advice and lost so much weight! My clothes fit how they used to and now I'm back to my slim self again and my aunts aren't commenting on my weight anymore at family functions lol. Anyways now I want to step it up and start gaining muscle and look more toned and less soft/skinny-fat so I will follow this as well. 💪Hopefully it will help me again. I definitely need to better my sleep schedule since it's all out of whack and adjust some stuff here and there so thank you for this video! Now I can be more efficient 😁. And yes there are times when you fall off and get off track I've been there but NEVER GIVE UP and don't let that discourage you from your goal. You have to dust yourself off and pick up where you left off as if it never happened and you WILL see the results. It's not always going to be a straight line to the goal but that's with anything. What matters is your patience to get to the end goal and you'll get there before you know it. Just keep your eyes on the ball! 😁 Thank you so much for everything. I was on a plateau for the longest time and I never believed I could get back to my high school weight again but I saw that I can and now I bet I can gain muscle and get into even better shape than before! If I could do it ( gluttonous ), I know whoever is reading this can too 😁.
170g of protein per meal, so x2?
Hmm... I don't know how to get that much with low budged, in a healthy way.
100 push ups a day helped me develop athletic looking arms and a decent looking chest. Been doing this for over two years. Patience, motivation and dedication is needed. It works.
Training biceps with Push ups???
Could have spend these two years with way way better training. Way better, as in no comparison to what you did. You did it though, so be proud!
I did this also.... 100 pushups instantly when i got up, and right before sleep. Had accident now, cannot do it because of bone injury. Big loss. Also dolphin kicks. Thats all people need to do, and can do it no tools or weights needed, on your floor next to bed. Super easy and really helps. Throw in swimming and youre set. 2-1-1, protein to carbs and fats. Easy to remember and free to do, and quick
@@dertythegrower I will lookup dolphin kicks. Thanks for sharing!
@@793Force I have limited time for more training as I am also a caregiver.
I do one meal a day and lift weights and do cardio on an empty stomach i be having tons of energy and more muscle than ever and stronger than ever dont make sense to me but its just work and i dont get aches and pains
What do you eat usually for the meal etc..? Thanx
Humans were literally designed to eat one big meal a day. Thats how our ancestors lived for hundreds of millenia, so its no surprise that you and millions of other people feel better than ever when they switch to OMAD. we arent meant to graze all day like cows.
Don't tell me you are younger than 25
I wish we had these kind of videos 25 years ago when I was at the gym 5 days a week. I took in way too much carbs, high protein, low fat and many other issues.
Complex carbohydrates and eating many veggies during the same meal n adding the fats or protiens won't affect the blood sugar :) it is also nutrient dense, it's more about the glycemic index of the whole meal than the individual food itself
@@shejar - Complex carbs are still carbs and will still cause weight gain.
@@JosephQPublic not everything is about weight loss
If you work a sedentary job, sure. But If you're a construction worker, plus the 3-4 intense workouts per week, 2 meals over an 8 hour window is a bad idea for putting on muscle. Maybe if you're trying to do a cut and get down to 8% body fat. I think 3 meals over a 12 hour window is the way to go for a bulk
Hello Dr. Berg, my name is Lorenz, i am from Germany and i love watching your videos. Thanks for all this good information! Very easy to understand, but one thing i do not understand. If i go for Intermittent Fasting and Keto and i want to gain muscle mass (like you describe in this video), but i should only consume 50-70g of carbs per day. How do i get 1500kcal per Meal? 70g carbs * 6kcal = 420kcal. So there are about 1080kcal per meal, which i have to cover with protein and fat. How is this possible?
I would really appreciate it very much, if you or other people here in the community can give me some advice :)
Many greetings from Germany,
Lorenz
hey gute Frage
me too, this kinda confuse me. Can somebody explain this or gimme some tricks
Heard of Dr. Berg on RUclips and I decided to follow his instruction on interment fasting and loosing weight . I started IF on 11 of May 2020 and my weight was 89kg my current weight now is 72kg and still going
8oz is equal to how much gramssss???
Ikr! Surely it's a mistake. I got feeling you only have to consume 60-120grams of protein per day.
1500 calories per meal? So two meals of 1500 calories per day? That sounds tough. I'm not used to eating that much in one sitting.
Thank you for another great learning session Dr!!
The only thing I'm stuck on here is the quantity of protein. 8oz of protein is Nearly 38 eggs.. and that's per meal. Not sure how anyone could get that without a protein supplement! (I'm veggie)
thanks to you, I lost ~40 lbs of fat in 3 months and only about 2 lbs of muscle mass. It was a serious transformation and inspired me to achieve more.
Thanks, Eric!
How did you lose the muscle,,
@@lightbeingpontifex whenever youre in a calorie deficit (eating less than your body needs), you'll lose fat (stored energy) but also some muscle, since your body also needs fat so a lot of organs and functions work correctly, that's why natural bodybuilding is very bad for your health, whenever you drop too low on body fat, your hormones such as testosterone can shut down or have very small production compared to a healthy body fat percentage/good fat to muscle balance
@@BrunoMalmann what's a good body fat percentage,,, im at 18%
@@lightbeingpontifex depends on the person, some feel great at 12% and others feel bad at 12%. the ideal is somewhere you feel confortable at around 18% to 12%, thats the range for a healthy and atletic body fat
thank you for this video! Though I don't understand how people can manage to eat 1500 calories in one sitting
I'd get very bloated
I think that we’re the IF comes in place,to help build muscle mass🤷🏾♂️.
I can do it if the majority of it is in liquid form.
Like I make melon juice and I feel I can actually get crazy amounts of calories in easily while doing that.
I know it's not keto but if you want more calories, fruit and vegetable juices are my pick.
so far my mom has dropped 9 lbs in 6 weeks intermittent fasting and my twin sister has lost 17 pounds in 8 weeks intermittent fasting. So don't give up people, intermittent fasting definitely is not a gimmick!!
Nice! Thank you so much for sharing!
Have they shared their successes on Dr Berg's Facebook group? People need the inspiration! 💞💞💞
6-8 oz per meal for 2 meals is 340-450 grams of protein in total! How the hell am I supposed to eat/get that much? Im no giant bodybuilder! Thats like 50-70 eggs!
Agree
He is a chiropractor.
I think he means any 6-8 oz of protein food the actual weight of it. For example, 6-8 oz of chicken or meat per meal
Hi Dr. Eric. Thank you for your informative video. Regarding carbs intake, did you mean 50g PER MEAL OR PER DAY?
Per day i am assuming, no more then 70g
I’m not understanding how that is possible. I would like for someone to elaborate on that…..
After I started my low carb diet, I can actually go 16 hours without eating. Now I don't crave carbs and actually don't feel well when I eat too much starch. Been eating my 45 eggs per day lol. Thanks Dr. Berg, you've helped me tremendously.

I was literally researching this topic just now as i'm 3 weeks into keto/fasting and plan on starting training again. Doc it's like you read my mind! Is it ok to eat a Banana pre-workout to fill that 50g carb goal? Or should i choose something that does not contain sugar?
I intend to use Dr Berg electrolyte solution for my pre workout run. Seems like I'm in the same predicament as you
Eating a banana or other sugary food during or immediately after a workout is the perfect time to eat it because your body is in a glycemic depleted state, therefore it actually utilises those sugars effectively rather than the carbs going through glyconeogenesis and turning into stored-fat to use when you’re in a sedentary state.
Short answer: yes, eat the banana.
i suggest not, take some mct oil for energy, no need for carbs. for potassium and electrolytes drink some vegetable juice, it's better than any energy drink for getting some minerals back. kiwi is also amazing, better than banana: less calories, more vitamins and minerals.
@@mitch-lawless Thank you for your answer :)
Definitely not. Search for Dr. Berg's other video on muscle gain. He says pre- and post- workout meals is a no-no.
50g carbs and 3000 calories is almost impossible!!!
It's like telling someone to build a house with 5 bricks
Someone with a brain! This so true
I started fasting for 24 hours and next day eating between lunch and 7pm-Repeat. I've started doing weights again after lockdown, but don't feel the soreness that shows muscle growth the day after, I just feel exhausted and weaker.. I am overweight, but felt much stronger eating carbs and like my muscles were growing. I really want to enjoy the benefits of fasting, but really hope I will overcome this phase. Maybe it's just not for me! I'm a 52 year old guy. Thanks to anyone who has a suggestion or encouragement
What’s worse? Fast insulin spikes, or insulin amount, because many meats makes insulin high, but sugars, wheat and etc, spikes it fast
Allen Berry I like doing a carb backloading approach, eat fats, proteins and greens in the day and have a carb meal Before bed (sweet potatoes) or second to last meal
To be honest I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a big insulin spike, as long as it’s only once a day, the body can handle that
@@ZyroSugar lol
ZyroSugar might do carnivore, I deal with anxiety, fatigue, and have a risk for hypothyroidism
1500cals per meal? Why not have a 3rd meal in that 8 hours to break it up?
6-8 oz is like 250 grams of protein / meal. This is really hard to eat RIGHT? Where do i get all of my proteins from 😅
@@ZyroSugar If they weigh 250 pounds then 250g is appropriate
@@scaffoldboystv-5514 its 250g of the food which is a good source of protein
Hi, Dr. Berg recommends around 0,7g of protein/lb if you're young and very active. I myself consume more but there's really not a lot of benefits for that, even as far as building muscle.
Yes 3 meals in a 8 hour window is perfect for building muscle
I can not believe it...!!! every time i am thinking of something and like to get information there you have a video about it. Awesome appreciated. I love your board work it is perfect to me. The colors the breakdowns the grouping and so on. Great job Doctor Berg
Thanks for the video. Been doing IF for almost 4 years, 16:8 approach and crossfit 5 times per week. Tried low carb/keto style of eating but did not work for me. No energy, unable to finish several workouts, bad recovery & definitely no muscle or strength gain. Got back to my carb cycling (low/moderate/high days) and everything’s back to normal. Not saying bad idea but not for everyone!
Hi can you tell me more about your diet/ time of the meal and food you eat please ? I’m very interested. Thanks
Haiiibooo !!! Around 200grams of protein per meal is madness. Thats like 10 eggs (70g protein), 300g steak (roughly 80g protein) and a desperate attempt to reach 200grams would be to add a 40g collagen 10g Cacao mixed small smoothy ... Wouldn't that be too much protein in one hit? Best i get my hydrochloric acid prepped lol
Always the best videos, thank you
Hello Dr. Berg,
I found out very contradictory informations in your videos.
In some videos you were talking about 40g proteins per meal 3 times per day for athletes and that general requirements(300g per day) are not correct, that is too much
In this video you were saying about consumption of proteins between 6oz(170g) - 9oz(255g) per meal 2times per day which give us together 340g - 510g protein per day.
Simplified said, in some videos you would recommend to eat 120g protein per day, in this video you recommend 340 g - 510g proteins per day for athletes/muscle-builders.
It is very contradictory.
Could you please explain me this?
Thanks
1500 calories, 200gms of protein in a single meal?
I just invented a "Nuclear Fart"
Haha you're hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He meant 200 gram of the protein like chicken or fish which will give you around 50gms of protein within a meal
@@yazanalrimawi6360 i have heard a body can only absorve 25 Gram max protein at time

Plz can u kindly tell me how much fat I’m confused
Question, you are saying 6-8oz of protein per meal, do you mean 6-8oz of say chicken/meat/fish or end number of protein?
I’ll elaborate. 8oz (225g of say meat = 75-90g of protein) is this what’s being implied or the amount of meat necessary to give 225g of actual protein per meal?)
Thank you!
It seems having big meals causes me to get reflux. I guess having 3 meals in my feeding window won't completely ruin everything.
Dr. Eric you had told in one of your videos that only 25-35 grams of protein can be absorbed in one meal but here you are telling to have 170-200 gram(6-8oz) in one meal. This is confusing. Pls tell
This is pure theory, you have to be in caloric surplus anyway. If you can hit all your macros in just two meals a day, lucky you.
People on a SAD eating plan can do that easily. A visit to a fast food place can easily exceed daily calorie intake.

FINALLY ABOUT ACTUAL BODYBUILDING, THANKS!
Some people say the body cannot digest more than 30 to 40g protein per meal..
6 to 8 oz per meal = 170 to 220g per sitting , is this not an overkill doctor?
I am way too confused here
More on muscle building please!
I still cant get my head around the fact that you can build muscle with 1 meal a day and fasting......its the opposite of everything that we are told, albeit by bodybuilders, about what to do: eat as many calories and protein as possible, which means eating multiple meals otherwise it is not possible to get it all in.
I do always eat eggs after I've been training :D
Im trying to follow this exact diet but 9 oz are 255 grams of protein. Is that not too much? I mean 20 eggs are like 100 gm of protein... No?

8 oz of protein means around 226 grams. Isn’t it too much per meal and two times a day?
I’ve found the more fasting I do the more weigh I lose the more muscle I lose, fasting is great if you need to lose weigh but if your lean start to look like vegan If you don’t need to lose weight I don’t think should go more then 16hr
Maybe you are just losing excess fat. The loss results may just be your 'normal' weight.
I’m 5 10 140 not much fat there I’m cutting back on fasting so I put on 15 lb or so, I get criticized every day by people thinking that I have cancer or sick because how I look
@@billmartinez2253 they think you have cancer because of less weight crazy.... To gain weight take probiotics...take ones that don't cause you any bloating
Is this doable if I'm eating just one meal at day?
Is that 6-8 oz. of protein rich food, or really 6-8oz. of pure protein nutrition? The latter would be a lot.
Yeah that's what I'm wondering as well. 6-8 oz seems way to much. But on the other hand, 6-8 oz of protein rich food doesn't mean much.
Dont forget its 8oz per meal. So we need 16oz per day. I hope dr berg will make it clear
But if what he mean is protein food, 8oz is about two chicken breast. So one day we need 4 -5 chicken breast. Its still make sense
I think the former. 6 oz of protein alone is literally impossible
@Dr. Eric Berg DC
Wait, I dont understand.
You say, I need 200gramm of protein per meal, what would make 400g protein?
You say, I need 1500 calories per meal, what would make 3000 calories per day, when I make interm.fasting and training for muscle gains?
I grow in muscles and lose fat, now with on average 120g per day and around 2000 calories eaten.
The numbers seem to be a bit to high from the video, or shall I increase?
Beeing confused now...
6-8oz of protein source, not protein. For example: 6-8 oz of red meat. No reason at all to be taking in over 100g of protein a day, that just spikes insulin even more than necessary
Great content. A question I have is what foods can someone eat to reach a 2,700 or 3,000 calorie goal per day while staying between 50 to 70 grams of carbohydrates? I’m having a difficult time staying under the carb limit while trying to get enough calories
Same issue for me!! Hopefully someone can help.
Eggs, meat, avacados, nuts
I am wondering the same... (perhaps drink olive oil?)💀
I'm 53 years old and have been doing OMAD for the past few months and basically eating pizza, cheesesteaks, Jersey Mike Subs, Chinese Takeout and anything I want but I've still lost weight and I'm down to my college graduation weight which is 181 lbs. at 6 ft. tall. I am also becoming more muscular and getting stronger every month - not because I am eating a lot of protein or "healthy foods" but I believe because I am getting sufficient sleep and rest between workouts. Our bodies heal themselves (and we grow stronger) when we sleep so I think that is #1. #2 is I don't work out to max effort on any set - I usually only do 80% max effort per set - this enables me to do more volume with better form... and recover quicker, IMO. It has been a very eye-opening experience for me as I always thought "max effort" and lots of protein were key to building muscle and strength.
I did intermittent fasting (2x24hr fasts per week) whilst working out 3 to 4 times per week for 2 years. I lost fat and gained muscle at the same time.
Any protein drinks or creatine??
@@digidrum2003 No protein drinks (surprisingly - I drink them now!) - I did do creatine occasionally, but 95% of the time I was on no creatine
So basically like body recomp
Alright.. but do anyone have really good achievement with this ? Because I bearly find any trustable fitness person.
Older athlete here. Have been doing this for awhile. Lots of questions. Podcasts please?
Have you considered calling his friday show? Or simply check if he already made videos on your questions? He most likely did.
Do you REALLY mean 8oz protein per meal? Twice a Day? It is around 1kg of raw meat or fish, 700-750 gr cooked. Or 35 eggs per meal. I dont believe there are many people on a planet Who can do this regularly. Please clarify on that
Agree, it's just crazy to think about it..
50g carb is one bowl rice size? More detail for this. Thanks dr Eric
Have you checked Dr Berg's videos the types of carbs? Rice is going to bring blood sugar up way too much. Plus rice is quite poor in nutrients compared to actual vegetables, which are already providing carbs.
You said consume 1500 calories per meal? So 3000 a day?
I can't do fasting more than 16 hours since I won't get enough kcal: I don't feel like eating. I will have my first meal then struggle to eat enough in the evening. Resulting in low libido, irritability.
Same
That's ur body telling u that food is scarce, so u don't feel like eating anymore
And u'll feel sluggish if u eat a lot afterwards
@@ikrammaududi6205 so what's the solution? What should be done?
@@ZyroSugar that worth a try.
25 years ago I did one meal a day, as well as only veg, no animal of any sort. etc. I was so slim and yet so strong.
But my body forgot it all. I am a sport person and need energy for my long cycling training. When I did again iTF i started to feel weak since I couldnt eat enough...
i gotta probably start with 14 hours and add in some smoothies like you suggested.
thanks buddy.
Can anyone explain to me what dr Berg means by 6-8 ounces of protein? Because that translates to 170 to 226 grams of protein per meal. If I eat 2 meals do i multiply it by 2? That seems like an enormous amounts of protein (2-3g of protein per pound of mass in my case)
For anyone curious it was clarified to be oz of protein source like meat
More muscle video for athletes. It is so hard for me to have enough energy and power output with that many carbs.
Have enough fat...it gives you enough strength
Is this applicable for the adrenal body type ??
