Before keto, I used to avoid bacon like the plague. NOW, having lost over 100 lbs EATING BACON and frying my salmon in the bacon grease, bacon is my new daily food or at least every other day depending on the meat for the day. Eating keto has helped to give me so much more energy and a lot less aches and pains. I wish I was eating keto all my life!! BACON DAY YAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
I'm just going to state publicly my pledge to never eat rutabagas. I know it's a huge sacrifice, but it shows the depth of my commitment to good health.
Been 100% Carnivore now for 18 months..feeling amazing .but thanks for this video which I will share ! By the way.....Dr. Berry...you are looking younger every time I see you on here !
@@hirsimusejenecadeAn example for you. I eat 2 meals usually. Very very rarely eat breakfast. Mostly lunch/brunch. That might be an omelette, maybe a cheese one, or scrambled eggs and bacon. Or liver (beef, lamb) pan-fried with bacon in suet, or 200g salmon pan-fried in butter and suet. Or a tin of sardines in olive oil (can't seem to buy them in sild oil (sardine oil)). I add a bit of apple cider vinegar for tartness, and eat the oil as well. Then for dinner I'll generally have a 250g or 300g rare porterhouse or rib eye, or a couple of large lamb loin chops with AcV. Don't eat chicken (inferior protein, all grain fed and tasteless unless smothered in spices, which I'm also avoiding). I do have coffee and red wine as well as the AcV, but no "plant matter" as such, on the plate. And I used to "eat the rainbow" with salad and vegs. Now none (8 months in). If I feel like a bit more, I'll cut a slice of grass fed organic salted butter, or have a cup of homemade bone broth with butter and real salt (that is often lunch by itself) , or a couple of tablespoons of triple cream, or sour cream, or a bit of blue cheese or triple cream brie. When I feel full I stop. Sometimes I leave half the steak, often I leave half of the omelette, enjoy it cold for lunch. Miraculous health improvements! 😍 🐂🐂❤️
From an energy perspective it would 95% energy from meats and fats and 5% vegetables but from a volume perspective you can eat more green vegetables as they contain a lot less calories.
Thank you for the list Dr. Berry. I enjoy your video’s so much. I’m glad I don’t eat most of these. I’ll eat occasionally carrots when I choose to purchase a frozen bag of cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots. I’ll air fry a sweet potato when I’m wanting “fries” like once a month or even longer. Been maintaining my 140 pounds since last November.
As a handful or part of a dish they are fine obviously not if a person was eating a large bowl of them on its own but who would possibly attempt something that crazy?
I’m currently in the process of communicating this information to my wife who loves almost all of these veggies and now I know why. My wife is a sugar addict and it turns out she’s a sugar addict even with her vegetables. My hope in the future after I’ve made my own health progress that she’ll start to take me seriously on this stuff. At the moment she questions everything I tell her, but I guess we’ll see what happens when I lose all my extra weight. She might just take me seriously then.
@@sovietarmy7485 pretty good! I got through to my wife and the amount of starchy foods in our house is very minimal and she has adopted more of a paleo diet which does reduce more starchy foods in general. I’m still Ketovore but she’s making her way slowly.
I am stunned. Vegetables like corn, sweet potatoes and carrots, I knew had sugar in them. Onions and Shitake Mushrooms, though? I'm shocked. Great video, Dr Berry. Thank you. xo~linda
@J F this only applies for people with diabetes and/or insulin resistance! Populations throughout history have been thriving on these foods. Just look at the at the Japanese! They live forever and eat 90% of these foods.
What I do with these problem vegetables is to ferment them in pickling spices & solution using a probiotic starting lactobacillus culture and although their sour when fermented, the nutrients are still there and in fact some of them are enhanced like vitamin C and vitamin K2.
I have a fermentation crock with an airlock lid and let it go sometimes longer than a week if I’m using multiple types of vegetables at one time, are use a starting solution that contains the insides of a probiotic capsule or two. I let it go sometimes longer than a week but since so you say starting solution that contains the insides of a probiotic capsule or two I have anywhere from 70,000,000,000 to 140,000,000,000 colony forming units of active bacteria so a week maybe two weeks but certainly after four or five days much of the sugar is gone. If you want a ferment solution, one rule of thumb is: 1 gallon of well or spring water, 1 cup of white vinegar and one cup of plain salt. The vegetables will ferment without it, but if you want to keep them whole or close to that or create a mixed variety of fermented vegetables like broccoli cauliflower carrots colored pepper, the solution is helpful because it’s the right pH for the bacteria to thrive but yeast or mold will not. I’ve never had a bad fermentation experiment go bad using the solution and especially the probiotic capsules rather than relying on the wild yeast in the air.
Still learn something new every time I listen to Dr. Berry. I was eating mushrooms on my steak, while out to dinner ordering sweet potato fries. Great information. I've never been a veggie person anyway, so not so hard to give up!!!
He said Shittake mushrooms. Other schrooms may have less sugar. One of my fav meals is a burger with grill jalapenos, schrooms and onions with sharp cheddar...no bun. The amount of onion is very small
I only eat Cruciferous veggies only in my Ketogenic diet and one meal a day Intermittent Fasting since June/2022. I lost over 90 pounds and completely reversed my insulin resistance and all of its related conditions and full of energy. Thank you for this great video. Great advice. You are saving lives..😊
Thank you Dr. Berry. I have been waiting patiently for this video, as I am a person that loves vegetables. So far I have to minimize the onions and take out red cabbage. This last one was a big surprise as cabbage is so good for you and you spoke about its benefit on an older video.
I have been eating onions since my teen years to fight off colds and flu with great effect and have grown very fond of them. What about garlic? It’s another food long known to help the body against infection.
Hi, Dr. Berry.....here you go....the veggie is called BrussellS sprouts because it was originally cultivated and shipped to the rest of the world from Brussels. Belgium.
@@StreetTruckinTitan Of course not. I have some common sense. I don't tolerate animal protein. That may have something to do with the fact that humans aren't designed to eat meat. Plant based cultures have life expectancies of 90 years plus. Carnivore cultures 40 unhealthy years.
@@StreetTruckinTitan There are no 100% carnivore animals. The longest living mostly carnivore animals. 8 years. The longest living herbivore animals 70 plus years. Almost all degenerative disease is the result of eating animal protein and refined junk food. Going whole plant food diet returns. HEALTH!!
@@herbbowler2461 if humans arent supposed to eat meat why did God give us carnivore incisors and not flat teeth like a cow? Enjoy your lectins and oxalates I'll stick to keto / carnivore.
Hi Ken I have learned so much about health and foods that I didn't know before .If it wasn't for your information I know my health would be a lot worse then it is .Thank You for everything.
Great video. Your amazing insight & helpful advice will indeed give us a better understanding when we prepare our juices & meals whether we are on keto or not. Appreciate everything you do for humanity's better health & wellbeing. You are one of my favourites go to person for all things involving ones health. Keep up the excellent work love all your videos. God bless you love from New Zealand ❤
@AmyBEgirl They are fine when eaten in sensible moderation such as a handful of onions in a dish such as a stew or mixed in with a salad. Most people can handle these things in moderation. They would start to become an issue of you sat down at night and started to have a big full bowl of onions but what mad person would attempt that?
I have multiple fibroids and I am so confused over what to eat. The consensus is I should eat no animal products, no bread, no grains, no rice, no potatoes, etc. Only some vegetables and fruit. I have tried this and I am naturally underweight. This diet put me in severe weight loss. I started eating pumpernickel bread with peanutbutter to keep my weight up between smoothies and salads. My mate is a carnivore and i eat meat with him occasionally but this is a big no no. I would love to nix vegetables but I get so much feedback about acidity and hormones. Insulin also makes them grow which is in all the vegetables. No meat and no fruit and vegetables seems like a diet that is incredibly unsustainable.
@Val Brenneman white button aren’t that great for you either. They contain hydrazine, which is rocket fuel, make sure to never eat them raw. Always cook mushroom. You’ll need to cook white button or portobello mushroom on a high heat for a bit to remove as much hydrazine as possible.
Oh I know. I love all 3 of these myself. Life is too short to cut out all these healthy veggies. I want to lose weight but the joy of life would be missing if I could only eat meat and just a handful of veggies. My favorite food I enjoy with my eggs in the morning is old fashioned oat meal. It is healthy so I'm going to eat it and stay fat and just die when the good Lord takes me.
So, basically, I’ve been average and athletic all my life but ended up with a severe vitamin B and vitamin D deficiency, which created metabolic syndrome which then led to type2 diabetes and I got up to 335 pounds. The minute I found out I was diabetic, I stopped drinking alcohol, started exercising and went on a vegan diet at 1400 cal a day (about 100 carbs per day) and easily lost 70 pounds within a year. On this diet I consistently lost a couple pounds a week. There were many times when I was lightheaded and dizzy and did not feel well but I pushed through it. However, I think I lost a considerable amount of muscle and my hair was falling out like crazy. I can see all of it growing back and now being on the keto diet with so much fat and protein. I’m 46, height is 5’7 and my current weight is 285, as I gained back 20 pounds over this last holiday season. Basically the 70 pound weight loss turned into a 50 pound weight loss. A few years ago, I did a special machine exam at my naturopath that measured my visceral fat and my muscle. She told me that I had about 40 pounds more muscle than a normal woman my age and height (due to being a paramedic and doing a lot of lifting and cardio for years). So she pretty much told me when I get on the scale, to take the number I see and minus that muscle weight from it. Not sure if that was wise advice but regardless, based on your lowest calculations on my real current actual weight, my protein should be 102.6. I also have a fatty liver from the previous diabetes, so I know that this is the very best diet for me in that regard. I don’t understand why the lower fat/higher carb vegan diet worked so well for me, when I’m doing less than 20 carbs a day and sticking to my macros and measuring and weighing everything I put in my mouth. calories tend to run between 1600 and 1900 a day. Luckily, I still have a considerable amount of muscle under my fat but I’m no longer a paramedic, as I have a broken vertebrae in my lower back. Between that and covid, and a yet undiagnosed autoimmune disease, I’m not getting the same kind of exercise I got when I was on my vegan diet a year ago and could walk every day and go swimming. I don’t look my weight. I carry it very well and the doctor is always shocked when I get on the scale because he can’t believe I weigh as much as I do. I have a pretty large frame. Even if I were to be 130 pounds, I think my shoulders would be fairly wide. Sadly, my feet go along with that. lol Been fairly slender all my life. I was a very skinny kid. I have now completely cured my diabetes by losing that 70 pounds. My A1c is 5.1 and that was before I started keto. Carb manager pretty much has my protein at 100g, and it’s telling me that I need 129g of fat at 1603 calories a day (set at a 30% deficit) to lose 5.9 pounds a month. But I’m really not budging... I have just been going up and down between 283-289 since I started two months ago. Many keto calculators are telling me I need to have more like 1700 to 2000 cal a day for my weight.... but I’m not sure if that’s too much or maybe even not enough? My Fitbit tells me that I am burning about 2500 cal a day right now because I’m pretty sedentary. But even when I was walking a mile a day during my last diet where I lost 70 pounds, I was maybe only burning about 2800 cal a day. Any ideas on whether I should keep my macros the same or readjust them? I think the calories may be what’s really screwing me up. I basically have coffee and a protein bar for breakfast and then I have lunch and dinner but I do have some fat bombs for dessert to keep my sweet tooth down. But I don’t snack a lot during the day. I have only 2 cups of coffee a day with sugar-free powdered coffee mate creamer. I have a fatty liver so I’m pretty sure I’m insulin resistant. I just don’t understand how I lost weight so easily on the last diet and this one is like trying to pull a perfectly healthy tooth out of my mouth! I do less than 20 carbs a day A lot of the time and while I make things like fat bombs with coconut oil, I don’t eat a lot of processed foods or snacks. I’ll be damned if I’m going to give up but I’m taking care of a husband that is terminally ill and I need to get this weight off in order to care of him because it’s putting so much stress on the broken vertebrae in my lower back. I’m frustrated because I worked really hard this last couple months and I should have definitely lost at least 8-10 pounds. I can’t afford home care for him, so I am his sole caregiver and I need to get my body back in shape. Anyone who can give some good expert advice (if Dr. Berg doesn’t comment) would be greatly appreciated!!! I’m definitely going to try to wrap up my walking again. I am also on week three of no longer excessively chewing sugar-free gum, as I felt like that might be keeping my insulin levels up because I was chewing quite a lot of it to keep from snacking -but I’m not seeing a significant difference without it. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this super long post... hopefully it’s not too confusing or annoying!
You probably do not need to actually weigh them and measure the in terms of a handful is probably a good way to go. So if eating nuts just a handful once a day is fine. If eating a large bowlful that would be an issue.
The key that he starts of with is that some people can be ok with it but others not so much. I think what really needs to be discussed is the volume of the foods rather than just consuming a small amount.
i think glycemic load is a better indicator then the number of grams of sugar...its more then just grams of sugar per vegetable that needs to be considered .. when it comes to blood sugar spikes
Wow, I didn’t know my beloved red peppers 🌶 was so high in sugar. Moringa would love to know your thoughts on on it. Thank you for all your hard work it is much appreciated!
@@vertigoz In reference to eating low carb or keto lifestyle. Most consume less than 20 grams of carbs in an entire day...so you can see where even one or two extra can add up.
Dr. Berry, Thank you so much for sharing this information. Most of the veggies you mentioned I did eat at one time, but I now eat leafy greens and most above ground veggies. I also add beet greens to my salad instead of the beet itself as the leafy part has the most nutrients. I appreciate you sharing this information as it will help me to make better choices on my Ketogenic Diet journey.
Great video! I do like a few onions and peppers, add the celery, I'm a southern girl, but we enjoy with much less these days. It really doesn't take much! Since we have eliminated most veggies from our diet, both hubby and I are doing much better in the digestion world.
@@demieboo1234 Cereal? Oh heavens no! Not in over 45 years. Cereal is trash food. I refuse to consume anything made from Big Food period. I found low carb at age 19, Keto 17 years now; mostly Carnivore. Dairy, yes, I am allergic to milk, but can eat fermented cheeses in limited quantities, HWC in my coffee, just a couple teaspoons, sour cream does well too.
Just put a small handful of them into your dishes rather than eating a large bowl of them on their own. A vegetable and beef soup for example with a single sweet potatoes is not going to cause many people issues. Or a handful of onions mixed in. A little handful of peas on the side of a chicken and green veg dinner plate is not that bad either.
Hi Dr. Berry, this video is so welcomed. I certainly was very grateful for this. You are excellent as informing me about this is helping immensely. I eat about four on the list but will reduce. Thank you so very much. Take care. Greetings from here in north east of England. Kindest regards to you and your family.
Haven’t gone through every comment so this may have been mentioned already, but very surprised parsnips were not mentioned - one of the worst vegetables, surely!
High sugar, yes, but otherwise nutritionally sound, and one of my absolute favorites. I'm not about to give them up after having had to give up so many others!!
I personally don't demonize beets at all. I think benefits from it are over-weighting relatively high sugar. I prefer eat it before training, because due to vasodilation pump is amazing. And vasodilation itself is very good, because high pressure is the one of many accelerators of aging.
I'm starting a very low carb/sugar diet. No junk and high processed foods. I read the labels on products, watch videos like these and educating myself on healthy eating. However I will still eat fruits and most vegetables, organic if possible....in moderate amounts. Except corn and sweet peas maybe. I appreciate these videos, I need to loose weight and I already feel better cutting out sugar and starches. But I'm not going on a full blown keto diet nor will I go a day without eating anything. I might skip a meal, if I feel like it.
@@holoholohaolenokaoi2299 First of all, I loooove your avatar! hahaa The best!! And I don't know if that would break down the sugars. We should google that. lol
Just started strict keto.. carnivore two weeks ago. I've noticed my appetite has dropped like a stone. Bacon & egg breakfast, I forget lunch, and sometimes dinner ! Feel good too. I keep sugar free beef jerky around if I want a snack.... or salami & cheese.....
Lucky you that you can still eat dairy. I must admit I sometimes still crave a piece of cheese after almost 2 years full carnivore. Congrats on progressing to carnivore and enjoy! :)
Be careful with Salami, a lot of those sausage style meats contain very inflammatory ingredients like dextrose, sugars or soy even. It sucks since salami is amazing lol but most deli meats have all that stuff too. Good work! Way to love different from most who eat what feels good lol
I can't juice beets because of the sugar (keto) I found some beet juice powder, label showing 0 sugar and 2 grams of carbs. I was concerned about blood pressure so I did this juice powder every day for 2 months. My triglycerides sky rocketed-over 300 and they have never been that high. The day I got the results, I stopped the powder.
@@jamchloe99 Well once I get to my goal weight I may add them back in once a week. I love beets. Or I can find some quality nitric oxide. Thanks for reminding me of that.
Onions and beets? That hurt me deep! LOL I can give those up until I get the weight off, the A1c back to normal and blood glucose levels back to normal.
Damn I really like shiitake mushrooms. I used them a lot and had no idea at all it was full of sugar. I used them a lot to feel full thinking I was helping lower my sugar. I really like how you get to the point and just provide us what with just what need to know. Not full of nonsense jargon.
Oddly enough, my body is just weird. I can have tomatoes and lettuce regularly but most all veggies stall me totally. Most of the ones you listed I dont touch, but I can't really eat peppers, I LOVE peppers but they dont love my keto lol Onions tend to stall me too. Cant even look at a carrot without gaining weight lol
KETO Diamond Channel really? Is that why we see so many obese vegans? Just eat moderately and healthy. Keto can be great, but a carrot is t going to make you fat!
@@takodanobaba well according to the amount of sugar they have in them, eating enough of them certainly can make you fat, or at the very least stall your weight loss. keep in mind you also have those people who can eat fried chicken and honey buns all they want and not gain a pound. Doesn't mean they're healthy though 🤷🏻♂️ People's bodies tend to handle food differently from each other.
For a better perspective let's translate the 100 grams/3.5 ounces info into per cup info for each item, chopped into small pieces where applicable, and in a raw state. I also included the total carb count for each item per cup. PER CUP SUGAR Total Carbohydrates Shiitake mushrooms 1.7 grams 4.8 grams Red Cabbage 3.4 grams 6.6 grams Turnips 4.9 grams 8.4 grams Sweet Corn 5.0 grams 29.3 grams Sweet Potatoes 5.6 grams 26.8 grams Carrots 6.1 grams 12.3 grams Red Bell Pepper 6.3 grams 9.4 grams Onions 6.8 grams 14.9 grams Rutabagas 7.8 grams 11.4 grams Green Peas 8.2 grams 21 grams Beets 9.2 grams 13 grams So I googled " how much sugar on keto " and the answer I got was that as long as the total carb count is below 50 grams you are ok. Doesn't sound right to me because I'm thinking that if I consumed 49 grams of sugar, which would be 49 grams of carbohydrates, there is no way I would stay in ketosis. So how much sugar is too much??
@The NY golfer - - thanks for making that effort, but I think the point is to raise awareness, not to start counting (like old model calorie counting). KB would say no to that I believe, so the lists and cup sizes etc do not actually offer "a better perspective". The reason I personally went carnivore is that I found it hard to stay in ketosis and had stalled weight loss from too many veggies (plus medical issues). So carnivore was the answer. Not needing to count and weigh stuff and obsess over food all the time. Vegans need to do that to try to get enough nutrition. Carnivores don't.
I'm a little surprised that fibre was ignored in this video, higher the fibre content the less effect the sugar content has, I have seen other videos on the diabetic topic and they enversize fibre being a major factor how your body handles sugar and carbohydrates ! Maybe I've got it wrong, so many contradicting info out there.
I try and use these foods in moderation like a garnish not a side dish, 100g of shiitake is actually quite a lot of mushrooms as they are light but carrots, rutubaga, sweet potato are super dense and just not part of my world.
KenDBerryMD , I don’t use much, and not to often. But saw your video on Macular degeneration and I have the beginning stages. My Mother and both brother have it too. So I’m starting spinach, putting them in protein smoothies will do right. Nuts too thank you for your knowledge.
Dr. Berry would you please do a video on Cassava? I found some grain-free chips to use with my avacado and then I heard about the high carb, high GI, and dangers of cyanide in Cassava...I was told that this was good for me, but it is NOT. Please address this issue for those of us on a carnivore diet. Thanks!
Reading Paul Saladino, MD book "The Carnivore Code" and Steve Gundry , MD book "The Plant Paradox", I have come to the conclusion that it is best to avoid all vegetables. This was initially shocking to me. I went from 10 years of keto with a lot of veg which did cause some bloating when I over did it to now carnivore. No bloating at all on carnivore and stomach is completely flat. Lost an extra 3 lbs but already thin, BMI 17. Incidentally my weight did not change going from very HC to keto as already thin. Did keto for health reasons and not to lose weight. Rarely go to the grocery store since I stock up on meat and freeze it. Very convenient and esp. with the lockdowns.
All of the vegetables listed have a much lower glycemic index number if consumed raw. It’s when they are cooked the glycemic index increases. I could be mistaken, but it appears how these vegetables are prepared for consumption determines their impact on our bodies and an insulin response.
Sugar grams per 100g (3.5 oz) serving:
1. Shitake Mushrooms @ 3.8
2. Red Cabbage @ 3.8
3. Turnips @ 3.8
4. Rutabagas @ 4.0
5. Red Bell Pepper @ 4.4
6. Onions @ 4.7
7. Carrots @ 4.7
8. Sweet Potatoes @ 5.5
9. Green Peas @ 5.9
10. Sweet Corn @ 6.3
11. Beets @ 8.0

Thank you, and Thanks for sharing!
Is that just meat diet
So what do you actually eat all day? Just beef steaks, chicken strips, turkey, lamb chops.. Give us an idea of a carnivore diet for a week.
@@hirsimusejenecadeAn example for you. I eat 2 meals usually. Very very rarely eat breakfast. Mostly lunch/brunch. That might be an omelette, maybe a cheese one, or scrambled eggs and bacon. Or liver (beef, lamb) pan-fried with bacon in suet, or 200g salmon pan-fried in butter and suet. Or a tin of sardines in olive oil (can't seem to buy them in sild oil (sardine oil)). I add a bit of apple cider vinegar for tartness, and eat the oil as well. Then for dinner I'll generally have a 250g or 300g rare porterhouse or rib eye, or a couple of large lamb loin chops with AcV. Don't eat chicken (inferior protein, all grain fed and tasteless unless smothered in spices, which I'm also avoiding). I do have coffee and red wine as well as the AcV, but no "plant matter" as such, on the plate. And I used to "eat the rainbow" with salad and vegs. Now none (8 months in). If I feel like a bit more, I'll cut a slice of grass fed organic salted butter, or have a cup of homemade bone broth with butter and real salt (that is often lunch by itself) , or a couple of tablespoons of triple cream, or sour cream, or a bit of blue cheese or triple cream brie. When I feel full I stop. Sometimes I leave half the steak, often I leave half of the omelette, enjoy it cold for lunch. Miraculous health improvements! 😍 🐂🐂❤️
Thank you for the list and amounts. Most people have NO idea about these numbers. I have to as a diabetic and know to stay away from all ot them.
No wonder my weight loss has stopped. Oh my word! You just really made my compost pile happy.
I cut down the veggies and lost 10 more pounds !
95/5 meat to veggie ratio.
From an energy perspective it would 95% energy from meats and fats and 5% vegetables but from a volume perspective you can eat more green vegetables as they contain a lot less calories.
1. Shiitake
2. Red cabbage
3. Turnips
4. Rutabagas
5. Red bell peppers
6. Onions
7. Carrots
8. Sweet potatoes
9. Green peas
10. Sweet potatoes
11. Beets
10. Sweet Corn - not sweet potato which has 4.2 per 100 grams equally bad
I had a feeling carrots and beets would be on the list.

Thanks
heard Carrots are ok because while high in carbs, they're also high in fiber
Life saver, thanks!
No wonder why I'm addicted to these veggies you mentioned. Potatoes as well are addicted.
Thank you for the list Dr. Berry. I enjoy your video’s so much. I’m glad I don’t eat most of these. I’ll eat occasionally carrots when I choose to purchase a frozen bag of cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots. I’ll air fry a sweet potato when I’m wanting “fries” like once a month or even longer. Been maintaining my 140 pounds since last November.
I’m a keto dietitian who thinks you are great! Being from Louisiana - I still use a little onion! Hope to cross paths one day!
As a handful or part of a dish they are fine obviously not if a person was eating a large bowl of them on its own but who would possibly attempt something that crazy?
I’m currently in the process of communicating this information to my wife who loves almost all of these veggies and now I know why.

@@pinkdiscomosh2766 if ignoring carbs, carrots are very good for you
@@sovietarmy7485 Except when they spike my blood sugar, friend. “Good for you” is very subjective in that case.
I am stunned. Vegetables like corn, sweet potatoes and carrots, I knew had sugar in them. Onions and Shitake Mushrooms, though? I'm shocked. Great video, Dr Berry. Thank you.

We all grew up being told "eat your veggies, they're good for you." Hmm! Kids always knew.
@J F this only applies for people with diabetes and/or insulin resistance! Populations throughout history have been thriving on these foods. Just look at the at the Japanese! They live forever and eat 90% of these foods.
@@takodanobaba maybe moderation is the key
@Marlene Holloway yeah I completely agree. You can also do carb cycling to optimize your glycogen stores.
Or just eat cheese and milk, that's enough carbsfor ever.
@CahaLLo not if you workout or are an athlete. There’s no NFL players that are carnivore and there’s a reason for that.
Did you noticed how much weight this doc list in recent yr? Amazing. He looks better then ever.
Only onions on this list that a eat often...the rest i can do without..thanks doc
I'm the same way! Onions make almost every dish so great!😣
@@MarydToKeto we'll be fine..like he said nkt like we eating alot at 1 time
@@weightbegonecouple482 I can eat a BIG pile of Vidalia onions fried in Irish butter! I can abuse any food especially if it contains carbs! lol
@@flatblack39 🤣🤣thats sounds good to me lol
Maybe in tiny portions we can eat onions
What I do with these problem vegetables is to ferment them in pickling spices & solution using a probiotic starting lactobacillus culture and although their sour when fermented, the nutrients are still there and in fact some of them are enhanced like vitamin C and vitamin K2.
How long do you do it?
I have a fermentation crock with an airlock lid and let it go sometimes longer than a week
if I’m using multiple types of vegetables at one time, are use a starting solution that contains the insides of a probiotic capsule or two.
I let it go sometimes longer than a week but since so you say starting solution that contains the insides of a probiotic capsule or two I have anywhere from 70,000,000,000 to 140,000,000,000 colony forming units of active bacteria so a week maybe two weeks but certainly after four or five days much of the sugar is gone.
If you want a ferment solution, one rule of thumb is: 1 gallon of well or spring water, 1 cup of white vinegar and one cup of plain salt.
The vegetables will ferment without it, but if you want to keep them whole or close to that or create a mixed variety of fermented vegetables like broccoli cauliflower carrots colored pepper, the solution is helpful because it’s the right pH for the bacteria to thrive but yeast or mold will not.
I’ve never had a bad fermentation experiment go bad using the solution and especially the probiotic capsules rather than relying on the wild yeast in the air.
Wow! This is new to me. Thank you Dr. Berry! Need to watch your 7 Keto Veggies👍
Still learn something new every time I listen to Dr. Berry. I was eating mushrooms on my steak, while out to dinner ordering sweet potato fries. Great information. I've never been a veggie person anyway, so not so hard to give up!!!
He said Shittake mushrooms. Other schrooms may have less sugar. One of my fav meals is a burger with grill jalapenos, schrooms and onions with sharp cheddar...no bun. The amount of onion is very small
I only eat Cruciferous veggies only in my Ketogenic diet and one meal a day Intermittent Fasting since June/2022. I lost over 90 pounds and completely reversed my insulin resistance and all of its related conditions and full of energy. Thank you for this great video. Great advice. You are saving lives..😊
Here's how to do KETO Right: bit.ly/KETO101
Thank you Dr. Berry. I have been waiting patiently for this video, as I am a person that loves vegetables. So far I have to minimize the onions and take out red cabbage. This last one was a big surprise as cabbage is so good for you and you spoke about its benefit on an older video.
Had to watch this again to make sure I wasn’t having a bad dream I thought I was doing so well !! No start over again Thanks Dr Berry
I have been eating onions since my teen years to fight off colds and flu with great effect and have grown very fond of them. What about garlic? It’s another food long known to help the body against infection.
Hi, Dr. Berry.....here you go....the veggie is called BrussellS sprouts because it was originally cultivated and shipped to the rest of the world from Brussels. Belgium.
My absolute go-to Veggies:
1. *Asparagus* cooked in butter with salt
You make 40 years on a carnivore diet.

@@StreetTruckinTitan
Of course not. I have some common sense.
I don't tolerate animal protein. That may have something to do with the fact that humans aren't designed to eat meat.
Plant based cultures have life expectancies of 90 years plus.
Carnivore cultures 40 unhealthy years.

There are no 100% carnivore animals.

So crazy …. Bought fresh beets for the first time in my life yesterday and now this video pops up !!!
Wow! Didn't know this. Great video.

You are one of my favourites go to person for all things involving ones health. Keep up the excellent work love all your videos. God bless you love from New Zealand ❤
Thank you so much for watching, and sharing!
I love onions but I rarely have them now. I’ve gotten used to it, and all the positives from keto very much outweigh a food I shouldn’t have.
Try using scallion.
@AmyBEgirl
They are fine when eaten in sensible moderation such as a handful of onions in a dish such as a stew or mixed in with a salad.
Most people can handle these things in moderation. They would start to become an issue of you sat down at night and started to have a big full bowl of onions but what mad person would attempt that?
One million subscribers! Wow! Congratulations Dr Berry
I have multiple fibroids and I am so confused over what to eat. The consensus is I should eat no animal products, no bread, no grains, no rice, no potatoes, etc. Only some vegetables and fruit. I have tried this and I am naturally underweight. This diet put me in severe weight loss. I started eating pumpernickel bread with peanutbutter to keep my weight up between smoothies and salads. My mate is a carnivore and i eat meat with him occasionally but this is a big no no. I would love to nix vegetables but I get so much feedback about acidity and hormones. Insulin also makes them grow which is in all the vegetables. No meat and no fruit and vegetables seems like a diet that is incredibly unsustainable.
OMG you just blew me off the bridge - onions ? Mushrooms I need a therapist
Mushrooms, onions and peppers-that's pretty rough-also the unmentioned tomatoes (yes, technically a fruit) and garlic.
Thank you!! I had no idea about onions,one of my favorite foods.
oh... I love Yam or Sweet potatoes.. I have to skip them or a very little amount from now on.
I have been eating white mushrooms, artichokes and jalapeños.
I'm still gonna cheat and have mushrooms onions and peppers sauteed with my steak....just in moderation 😂 it's too dang tasty
He is talking about Shitake mushrooms and not regular white mushrooms. If you look it up you will see one is lower.
@Val Brenneman white button aren’t that great for you either. They contain hydrazine, which is rocket fuel, make sure to never eat them raw. Always cook mushroom. You’ll need to cook white button or portobello mushroom on a high heat for a bit to remove as much hydrazine as possible.
It's good to have a healthy cheat day! It makes you appreciate these things more.
@Joe Al Still not near as bad as eating a honey bun 🤣
It's all relative 👌🏻
Oh I know. I love all 3 of these myself. Life is too short to cut out all these healthy veggies. I want to lose weight but the joy of life would be missing if I could only eat meat and just a handful of veggies. My favorite food I enjoy with my eggs in the morning is old fashioned oat meal. It is healthy so I'm going to eat it and stay fat and just die when the good Lord takes me.
In my garden the beets are the vegetable that are doing the very best. So we have a few now and then. Small and very tasty. Loads of vitamins.
So, basically, I’ve been average and athletic all my life but ended up with a severe vitamin B and vitamin D deficiency, which created metabolic syndrome which then led to type2 diabetes and I got up to 335 pounds. The minute I found out I was diabetic, I stopped drinking alcohol, started exercising and went on a vegan diet at 1400 cal a day (about 100 carbs per day) and easily lost 70 pounds within a year. On this diet I consistently lost a couple pounds a week. There were many times when I was lightheaded and dizzy and did not feel well but I pushed through it. However, I think I lost a considerable amount of muscle and my hair was falling out like crazy. I can see all of it growing back and now being on the keto diet with so much fat and protein. I’m 46, height is 5’7 and my current weight is 285, as I gained back 20 pounds over this last holiday season. Basically the 70 pound weight loss turned into a 50 pound weight loss.
A few years ago, I did a special machine exam at my naturopath that measured my visceral fat and my muscle. She told me that I had about 40 pounds more muscle than a normal woman my age and height (due to being a paramedic and doing a lot of lifting and cardio for years). So she pretty much told me when I get on the scale, to take the number I see and minus that muscle weight from it. Not sure if that was wise advice but regardless, based on your lowest calculations on my real current actual weight, my protein should be 102.6.
I also have a fatty liver from the previous diabetes, so I know that this is the very best diet for me in that regard. I don’t understand why the lower fat/higher carb vegan diet worked so well for me, when I’m doing less than 20 carbs a day and sticking to my macros and measuring and weighing everything I put in my mouth. calories tend to run between 1600 and 1900 a day. Luckily, I still have a considerable amount of muscle under my fat but I’m no longer a paramedic, as I have a broken vertebrae in my lower back. Between that and covid, and a yet undiagnosed autoimmune disease, I’m not getting the same kind of exercise I got when I was on my vegan diet a year ago and could walk every day and go swimming. I don’t look my weight. I carry it very well and the doctor is always shocked when I get on the scale because he can’t believe I weigh as much as I do. I have a pretty large frame. Even if I were to be 130 pounds, I think my shoulders would be fairly wide. Sadly, my feet go along with that. lol
Been fairly slender all my life. I was a very skinny kid. I have now completely cured my diabetes by losing that 70 pounds. My A1c is 5.1 and that was before I started keto. Carb manager pretty much has my protein at 100g, and it’s telling me that I need 129g of fat at 1603 calories a day (set at a 30% deficit) to lose 5.9 pounds a month. But I’m really not budging... I have just been going up and down between 283-289 since I started two months ago.
Many keto calculators are telling me I need to have more like 1700 to 2000 cal a day for my weight.... but I’m not sure if that’s too much or maybe even not enough? My Fitbit tells me that I am burning about 2500 cal a day right now because I’m pretty sedentary. But even when I was walking a mile a day during my last diet where I lost 70 pounds, I was maybe only burning about 2800 cal a day.
Any ideas on whether I should keep my macros the same or readjust them? I think the calories may be what’s really screwing me up. I basically have coffee and a protein bar for breakfast and then I have lunch and dinner but I do have some fat bombs for dessert to keep my sweet tooth down. But I don’t snack a lot during the day. I have only 2 cups of coffee a day with sugar-free powdered coffee mate creamer.
I have a fatty liver so I’m pretty sure I’m insulin resistant. I just don’t understand how I lost weight so easily on the last diet and this one is like trying to pull a perfectly healthy tooth out of my mouth!
I do less than 20 carbs a day A lot of the time and while I make things like fat bombs with coconut oil, I don’t eat a lot of processed foods or snacks. I’ll be damned if I’m going to give up but I’m taking care of a husband that is terminally ill and I need to get this weight off in order to care of him because it’s putting so much stress on the broken vertebrae in my lower back. I’m frustrated because I worked really hard this last couple months and I should have definitely lost at least 8-10 pounds. I can’t afford home care for him, so I am his sole caregiver and I need to get my body back in shape. Anyone who can give some good expert advice (if Dr. Berg doesn’t comment) would be greatly appreciated!!! I’m definitely going to try to wrap up my walking again. I am also on week three of no longer excessively chewing sugar-free gum, as I felt like that might be keeping my insulin levels up because I was chewing quite a lot of it to keep from snacking -but I’m not seeing a significant difference without it. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this super long post... hopefully it’s not too confusing or annoying!
I mean, i eat some of these sometimes. But i weigh all my food and count my carbs and never go over 21 grams a day. 🤷♀️ Ive lost 30 kg so far
You probably do not need to actually weigh them and measure the in terms of a handful is probably a good way to go.
So if eating nuts just a handful once a day is fine. If eating a large bowlful that would be an issue.
@@bighands69 yeah i did because i counted calories
@@osaniss
You would achieve the same thing through healthy food choices and portion control.
I eat 7 of these, but my weight is good and my blood sugar stays
The key that he starts of with is that some people can be ok with it but others not so much. I think what really needs to be discussed is the volume of the foods rather than just consuming a small amount.
i think glycemic load is a better indicator then the number of grams of sugar...its more then just grams of sugar per vegetable that needs to be considered .. when it comes to blood sugar spikes
I see most are tubers, which I already try to avoid, excepting onions, which I love too much to give up.
Wow, I didn’t know my beloved red peppers 🌶 was so high in sugar. Moringa would love to know your thoughts on on it. Thank you for all your hard work it is much appreciated!
I hope jalapenos are O.K.
High in sugar? Rice is about 30g, I don't really see those values as high
i hope poblano peppers are ok :/ i have been using them with my cheesy zucchini recipe.
@@vertigoz Right! It is still a good reminder to watch these foods as they do add up.
@@vertigoz In reference to eating low carb or keto lifestyle. Most consume less than 20 grams of carbs in an entire day...so you can see where even one or two extra can add up.
Dr. Berry, Thank you so much for sharing this information. Most of the veggies you mentioned I did eat at one time, but I now eat leafy greens and most above ground veggies. I also add beet greens to my salad instead of the beet itself as the leafy part has the most nutrients. I appreciate you sharing this information as it will help me to make better choices on my Ketogenic Diet journey.
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkk
If I replace my beet roots with the leafy greens am I getting the same benefits?
OMG 😳 thank you 😊 Dr. Berry
Thank you so much for your work
Great video! I do like a few onions and peppers, add the celery, I'm a southern girl, but we enjoy with much less these days. It really doesn't take much! Since we have eliminated most veggies from our diet, both hubby and I are doing much better in the digestion world.

But the greens on the beets, turnips and rutabegas are awesome!
@Bob Stanton they are , but unfortunately lots of oxalates. Better off eating the root unless you’re insulin resistant.
Oxalates can bring on kidney stones, unfortunately :(
I wonder how fermenting some of these vegetables changes the carb content. I'm thinking of red cabbage sauerkraut in particular.
I tried making a batch of red sauerkraut once. The flavor reminded me more of wine than of sauerkraut. It was good, but weird.
@@craigslitzer4857 Red sauerkraut is eaten a lot in my country. It's good :)

GOD BLESS YOU DOC 😊
I am a huge fan of yours. Love how you make things simple to understand. Thank you!
Damn, I eat 9 of those thinking I am doing good and I am heavy-handed with some of them. Thank you, Dr Berry, as usual, your content is invaluable.
I'm so grateful to have people like Dr. Berry to learn from--he's a treasure.
Just put a small handful of them into your dishes rather than eating a large bowl of them on their own.
A vegetable and beef soup for example with a single sweet potatoes is not going to cause many people issues. Or a handful of onions mixed in.
A little handful of peas on the side of a chicken and green veg dinner plate is not that bad either.
I just wanted to thank you for your instructional videos they help my mom out a lot I really appreciate it keep up doing the good work
Thank you so much for sharing this insightful and valuable video on some if the vegetables to be avoided by diabetics.
Very revealing and educative.
Hi Dr. Berry, this video is so welcomed. I certainly was very grateful for this. You are excellent as informing me about this is helping immensely. I eat about four on the list but will reduce. Thank you so very much. Take care. Greetings from here in north east of England. Kindest regards to you and your family.
Haven’t gone through every comment so this may have been mentioned already, but very surprised parsnips were not mentioned - one of the worst vegetables, surely!
High sugar, yes, but otherwise nutritionally sound, and one of my absolute favorites. I'm not about to give them up after having had to give up so many others!!
I personally don't demonize beets at all. I think benefits from it are over-weighting relatively high sugar. I prefer eat it before training, because due to vasodilation pump is amazing. And vasodilation itself is very good, because high pressure is the one of many accelerators of aging.
Simple man .I do to. Every morning. Organic. With my omad
I'm starting a very low carb/sugar diet. No junk and high processed foods. I read the labels on products, watch videos like these and educating myself on healthy eating.
However I will still eat fruits and most vegetables, organic if possible....in moderate amounts. Except corn and sweet peas maybe.
I appreciate these videos, I need to loose weight and I already feel better cutting out sugar and starches. But I'm not going on a full blown keto diet nor will I go a day without eating anything. I might skip a meal, if I feel like it.
Surprised about mushrooms and turnips thank you Dr Berry
Still loving you in Shreveport! Thank you for all you do! Rethinking mushrooms.
THAT really surprised me. I wouldn't have thought mushrooms at all.
Hey, I'm in Shreveport! Good to know your here...
No way! Beets, sweet potatoes my go to foods. We would have them once a week. Will have twice a month now. Thank you.
I follow Dr. Westman's page 4 list. Peppers, mushrooms, onions...ALL on his list. He recommends under 20 total carbs for the day also.
It looks like my stir fry is a sugar bowl 😢
so is mine ☹️ I get the tricolor bell peppers from costco as well as the mushrooms to make keto beans 😭
I don't think you need to worry as long as you stay under 20 TOTALfor the day.
I'm broken hearted about the onions. :( Good to know, tho!
i wonder if cooking the onions thoroughly like in a soup breaks down the sugars?
Onion have sulfur and we need sulfur
@@holoholohaolenokaoi2299 First of all, I loooove your avatar! hahaa The best!! And I don't know if that would break down the sugars. We should google that. lol
holoholo haole no ka oi cooking them thoroughly actually brings out more sugar- “caramelizing”
Scallions are great substitute for the white or red onions.
Just started strict keto.. carnivore two weeks ago.
I've noticed my appetite has dropped like a stone. Bacon & egg breakfast, I forget lunch, and sometimes dinner ! Feel good too. I keep sugar free beef jerky around if I want a snack.... or salami & cheese.....
Lucky you that you can still eat dairy. I must admit I sometimes still crave a piece of cheese after almost 2 years full carnivore. Congrats on progressing to carnivore and enjoy! :)
@@Terri_2.0 what are you guys benefits from carnivore lifestyle and tips!??
Be careful with Salami, a lot of those sausage style meats contain very inflammatory ingredients like dextrose, sugars or soy even. It sucks since salami is amazing lol but most deli meats have all that stuff too. Good work! Way to love different from most who eat what feels good lol
@@Thetspot6555 Yes, one has to pay attention to the labels !
@@Thetspot6555 Yes, and on top of all that, the high histamine levels in aged meats can trigger reactions for some people :/
My 3 favorite vegetables on the list
I can't juice beets because of the sugar (keto) I found some beet juice powder, label showing 0 sugar and 2 grams of carbs. I was concerned about blood pressure so I did this juice powder every day for 2 months. My triglycerides sky rocketed-over 300 and they have never been that high. The day I got the results, I stopped the powder.
But beet juice powder is pretty powerful for keeping your body high in nitric oxide. I wouldn't write it off completely
@@jamchloe99 Well once I get to my goal weight I may add them back in once a week. I love beets. Or I can find some quality nitric oxide. Thanks for reminding me of that.
Doc you need to move to Tx lol, I need you as my physician.
It would be nice if you'd include a list of the items you are going to talk about in the comment section below your presentation. Thanks
Onions and beets? That hurt me deep! LOL I can give those up until I get the weight off, the A1c back to normal and blood glucose levels back to normal.
Damn I really like shiitake mushrooms. I used them a lot and had no idea at all it was full of sugar. I used them a lot to feel full thinking I was helping lower my sugar. I really like how you get to the point and just provide us what with just what need to know. Not full of nonsense jargon.
Ive been waiting for this! Ty!
It may be best that a PICTURE of each vegetable he mentioned should appear on either side...helpful video😊
Thank you for this eye-opener. I love beets and will be removing them from my list immediately.
Oddly enough, my body is just weird. I can have tomatoes and lettuce regularly but most all veggies stall me totally. Most of the ones you listed I dont touch, but I can't really eat peppers, I LOVE peppers but they dont love my keto lol Onions tend to stall me too. Cant even look at a carrot without gaining weight lol
KETO Diamond Channel really? Is that why we see so many obese vegans? Just eat moderately and healthy. Keto can be great, but a carrot is t going to make you fat!
Every body is different!
@@takodanobaba well according to the amount of sugar they have in them, eating enough of them certainly can make you fat, or at the very least stall your weight loss.
keep in mind you also have those people who can eat fried chicken and honey buns all they want and not gain a pound. Doesn't mean they're healthy though 🤷🏻♂️
People's bodies tend to handle food differently from each other.
For a better perspective let's translate the 100 grams/3.5 ounces info into per cup info for each item, chopped into small pieces where applicable, and in a raw state. I also included the total carb count for each item per cup.
PER CUP SUGAR Total Carbohydrates
Shiitake mushrooms 1.7 grams 4.8 grams
Red Cabbage 3.4 grams 6.6 grams
Turnips 4.9 grams 8.4 grams
Sweet Corn 5.0 grams 29.3 grams
Sweet Potatoes 5.6 grams 26.8 grams
Carrots 6.1 grams 12.3 grams
Red Bell Pepper 6.3 grams 9.4 grams
Onions 6.8 grams 14.9 grams
Rutabagas 7.8 grams 11.4 grams
Green Peas 8.2 grams 21 grams
Beets 9.2 grams 13 grams
So I googled " how much sugar on keto " and the answer I got was that as long as the total carb count is below 50 grams you are ok. Doesn't sound right to me because I'm thinking that if I consumed 49 grams of sugar, which would be 49 grams of carbohydrates, there is no way I would stay in ketosis. So how much sugar is too much??
@The NY golfer - - thanks for making that effort, but I think the point is to raise awareness, not to start counting (like old model calorie counting). KB would say no to that I believe, so the lists and cup sizes etc do not actually offer "a better perspective". The reason I personally went carnivore is that I found it hard to stay in ketosis and had stalled weight loss from too many veggies (plus medical issues). So carnivore was the answer. Not needing to count and weigh stuff and obsess over food all the time. Vegans need to do that to try to get enough nutrition. Carnivores don't.
I'm a little surprised that fibre was ignored in this video, higher the fibre content the less effect the sugar content has, I have seen other videos on the diabetic topic and they enversize fibre being a major factor how your body handles sugar and carbohydrates ! Maybe I've got it wrong, so many contradicting info out there.
Monday, we will start easing out of the covid 19 lockdown, in Ecuador. Guess I had better go over to the other video and watch that again! thanks Dr B
My doc said veggies should be the bulk of each meal.
Could you show what 100 grams of these vegetables look like on a plate?
Yes. - unappetising
@@Lennythewinner that took me a sec, but dang, that's funny! 👍🤣
I try and use these foods in moderation like a garnish not a side dish, 100g of shiitake is actually quite a lot of mushrooms as they are light but carrots, rutubaga, sweet potato are super dense and just not part of my world.
So what about Green peppers, like the bell pepper? Also cabbage, green, I use for slaw, is that bad too?
They are not quite as bad
KenDBerryMD , I don’t use much, and not to often. But saw your video on Macular degeneration and I have the beginning stages. My Mother and both brother have it too. So I’m starting spinach, putting them in protein smoothies will do right. Nuts too thank you for your knowledge.
Dr. Berry would you please do a video on Cassava? I found some grain-free chips to use with my avacado and then I heard about the high carb, high GI, and dangers of cyanide in Cassava...I was told that this was good for me, but it is NOT. Please address this issue for those of us on a carnivore diet. Thanks!
A1C down to 5.9 from 10. Next stop, 5.5.
Oh no, onions I use onions they make everything so good. Thanks Dr. BERRY YOUR WONDERFUL!
Reading Paul Saladino, MD book "The Carnivore Code" and Steve Gundry , MD book "The Plant Paradox", I have come to the conclusion that it is best to avoid all vegetables. This was initially shocking to me. I went from 10 years of keto with a lot of veg which did cause some bloating when I over did it to now carnivore. No bloating at all on carnivore and stomach is completely flat. Lost an extra 3 lbs but already thin, BMI 17. Incidentally my weight did not change going from very HC to keto as already thin. Did keto for health reasons and not to lose weight. Rarely go to the grocery store since I stock up on meat and freeze it. Very convenient and esp. with the lockdowns.
All of the vegetables listed have a much lower glycemic index number if consumed raw. It’s when they are cooked the glycemic index increases. I could be mistaken, but it appears how these vegetables are prepared for consumption determines their impact on our bodies and an insulin response.
I just started the carnivore a week ago....lost ten pounds and I have never felt so good......this is amazing.
