I think it's the way we are raised. Our parents force us to clean our plates no matter what, even if we're full or just not hungry. And we wonder why we grow up with an eating disorder and overeat, and feel we have to clean the plate no matter what.

Low carb high fat and eating less frequently has been the only thing that has decreased my cravings. My friend at work is not even doing keto but lowered her carbs and started eating avocados and she said her sugar cravings stopped. Keep going everyone.
Yeah. I just kicked up my fats and protein, got rid of white starches, and feel great. Stomach has shrunk making high volume (even veggies) very uncomfortable.
I overeat everyday even when im full and not enjoying food which I think is for emotional reasons! I do have insuline resistence, inflammation, and sleep apnea so this video is very accurate!
Staying in ketosis is what brought me control with overeating! I would rather other things worked but it took ketosis to tame my carb cravings. Now I only get hungry 1 or 2 times per day. Fasting plus ketosis makes losing fat and controlling appetite work. Not in and out of ketosis. That makes me hungry, irritable, and depressed. But staying in ketosis - that is what it took. It is worth it.
For me, I feel I have to eat everything on my plate... even if that plate is the entire container of something. I’m working every day to learn not to do this. One day at a time.
I always appreciate Dr Bergs compassionate tone. Though he sees people eating in a way that perpetuates health problems, he explains the biology of why its a vicious cycle people need to understand rather than ridiculing them. He knows there are years of overstimulating foods, enticing sugars marketing of big companies as well as our own natural taste bud tendencies that have been hijacked. Thank you for patiently , thoroughly and persistently educating us so we can break free.
I know the day is coming.....stressful! My body wants more food but can't let it happen with junk food so gave more avocados and tons of greens! Still bloated thought LOL ATE TOO MUCH
lovelyone0509 please explain me some more I am over eater and lately my period is very light it can be that please if u have more experience explain me some more
I’ve been doing really good on OMAD and I had an urge to go get a burger and fries tonight. I ended up going to the grocery store and picked up 1.5 lbs of wild caught sockeye. I’m so glad I didn’t give in and eat carbs.
Very interesting explanation... I’d be curious to know what happens when someone happens to overeat on healthy food - veggies, protein and fat. I know it not to be a good idea, but I’d love to understand that process.
I just had a super large meal combined with just veggies, protein and fat that comes from nuts (really just healthy food) but it’s way to much and I feel miserable now
I agree. I feel happier, bouncier and more productive when I’m 50%-60% full and then tell myself I’ll snack in 3-4 hours. It really helps! Being bloated is a sore feeling, physically and mentally
Its amazing how we're brought up to feed money to the food industry and all we get in return is fat, sick, tired, broke, and dead. I stopped supersizing my meals long ago. That's just more money missing from my wallet and more girth added to my mid-section. No thanks. Great video Dr. Berg. Keep 'em coming.
With intermittent fasting I can't eat much because my stomache has "shrunk". My portions are smaller and I am happy to quit eating sooner. Also, I never eat away from home as I can't afford it. 😉
Intermittent fasting is a great money saving technique actually. You dont need to eat as much because of the shrunk stomach and you're getting all the vitamins and nutrients into your cell because there is no insulin resistance. Although im not sure how to build muscle on IF
I don't do OMAD anymore because I can't take in even half the calories needed for the day with it. My portions nowadays are tiny. Growing up, we were only allowed to order an appetizer size portion....not even an entree. No (actual) appetizer, no dessert. Probably a good habit learned there, the few times I have gone to a restaurant, I still adhere to that, even at my biggest.
I’ve read it’s best to stop eating when you are still just a tiny bit hungry. You have to leave room for proper digestion, it makes sense to me. One big thing that’s helped me is making a conscious effort to chew my food until there is no chunks, completely liquified. This forced me to slow down and it’s helped my digestive system tremendously. I also try to time my meals by the circadian rhythm, we produce our most digestive juices when the sun is out. More digestive juices means less undigested food in my body…I will take all the help I can get.
Not in my case either. Been IF for about 8 months...6 hr eating window I could eat the whole fridge if I didnt stop myself. I consume about 1k calories, then 2 hr later about 500 cal then another 1k later. I could eat more
I'm 33 6,1" and 335 lbs have high blood pressure i over eat all the time I consume energy drinks and smoke weed and cigarettes and drink whisky and struggle with my addictions. I really like watching your vids the information you share does help a little.
Totally agree with the late eating window. I could never get into eating in the morning so it was natural for me to keep fasting through lunch and eat only in the evening. Just remember it doesn't work well if you stay up late on the weekend!
I am born in a restaurant, what could be better is the cheap vegetable oil (not high-end restaurants ofc) , and generally veggies not washed properly (not all veggies ofc). So really not worse than most households, besides that all good mate.
In America we are trained to overeat, or so it seems...........99 cent hamburgers, buffets everywhere and open salad bars, fill your tank, eat until you pop. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and every other holiday people gather on to "celebrate" or "socialize" common denominator: WAY TO MUCH FOOD!!!!!!! In this country it is a lifestyle or even a way of life.....obesity is off the charts!!!!! America is FULL of excesses, but I think food is the main "drug" here.
I haven't seen any for several years, fidel. I was using this as a metaphor to illustrate my point about the way people use and think about food in this country, make sense??
You helped me more than any GP, doctor or NHS has helped me. Thank you!!! My health is not quite their yet but I believe all you videos will get me their eventually I'm not eating anything after my big lunch today. Yes too much food lol It was healthy food but too much and fell asleep. This video came just in time :)
I was taught at a young age my stomach was no larger than two fists put together, and not to stretch it out of shape. Still, it's easy to overeat calorie wise if you don't feel full. Eating enough fat to satiate is so important and cutting out simple carbs that breakdown into sugar to keep that nasty hunger hormone away-ghrelin is essential for battling cravings. Thanks for your free videos.
What’s ghrelin? I only eat once a day & it’s usually 2 eggs & 1 avocado. But if I add 1 banana or a can of pineapples I feel stuffed. I also drink ACV & lemon juice with it.
I have been eating like this a couple times a day, and indulging in anything and everything I want for about a year now, which is the first and only year I have been sober in 26 years. I know BETTER, but I was very thin and drinking 24/7 for over a decade so I had to do something to finally save my life. I wish I had you personally to help me transition back to a healthy relationship with myself and my diet and weight. I started at 114 lbs and now weigh 178 . I am 5'8. I am going to watch all your videos and thank you so much for reminding me I have to do better.
Yes Dr Berg, it did happen to me😂 Thanks to one of the videos you were talking about overeating, I stopped overeating. Thank you so much for teaching us. You're amazing!!
Thank you again Dr!! I enjoy watching your videos. They’re short, straight to the point, extremely easy to follow, and full of valuable information!! I’ve shared many with family and friends.
That is absolutely correct, Dr Berg. In Deepak Chopra's "Just Listen! Your body is speaking to you" (can't quite remember if it was a book or an article, I jotted it down in 2010), one can read: (COPY/PASTE) Let's say your body doesn't feel like your guide and friend. Why not? It's not because you gained weight, fallen out of shape or are depressed... It is Lack Of Awareness. Awareness has tremendous power. (Hence Conscious Eating.) It tunes into every cell. Awareness is invisible. It lets my body know what my mind is thinking. I become aware of my thoughts and it also sends feed-backs from the body.. The body sends signals. Every cell of the body follows those signals perfectly. If you are not paying attention to the signals, you are working against the flow of nature, which is the Flow Of Life. When Mind-Spirit-Body are in Harmony = Happiness is a natural state. You feel good. Discomfort, pain, depression, anxiety are disharmony. = Feeling UNHAPPINESS is thus a form of feedback. Treat it like an indication, don't get mad at yourself for feeling "bad". It simply signals that disharmony has entered somewhere: either in the mind or body. (Since form follows thought, it is more likely the mind..) It simply means: AWARENESS HAS BECOME DISCONNECTED. Only when you look at your situation this Holistic Way is when we can link Health to Wholeness and Holiness. For all three share the same root word and all three share the states of harmony and disharmony. They have a correlate in the brain and through the nervous system the brain makes every cell Aware that you have an issue... With other words, your entire body-mind field is responding to every single pain or pleasure! The body-mind field IS Aware. You have to consciously pay attention to it, to what your body is telling you - by feeling it, thus Awareness will arise. This Awareness is silent & intuitive. Simply by paying attention, it infiltrates every corner of the field. .... but the opposite is also true. When you withdraw Awareness, disruptions occur. The Feedback loops no longer operate as they should = thus the flow of energy needed by every cell, begins to diminish. Your body becomes more like a neglected child = being ignored when it cries. You must re-connect with it again. (...but gosh humans are so used to that 'numb' state.. with the question being: WHY did you want to be sedated the first place?) Basically, good digestion rules the world! That's my conclusion. It's also in the Book: Supreme Personality by Delmer Eugene Croft. EXERCISE: 1. The next time you are looking for food or are tempted to overeat, focus on what your body is saying, ask: How do I feel at this moment? Either you are truly hungry or you feel something you don't want to feel (in yr mind) and by eating, you are suppressing that particular discomfort. So now, PAUSE before you reach. See how you'll feel (surely gonna get anxious) but tell your mind that you CAN have that food afterwards. In that Allowing, your wanting will loosen..... then just go ahead and proceed as you wish: follow that impulse to either eat or just turn around and start doing something if you can resist the craving. BOTH are good because now you are doing it AWARE. This realization will add another dimension to your action. Keep doing this every single time when you feel like munching on something. (It is usually while watching RUclips lately... ppl kind of, sort of just sit there 'doing nothing' and automatically want to grab something to eat. We can possibly call it, eating out of boredom.) 2. The second part of the exercise is when you actually start writing down that specific feeling, - just like DR BERG says. Next time you feel cravings, don't just PAUSE but grab your Notebook and be as specific as you can be by describing it, (yes it is very confronting, don't ask...) but keep answering the question: WHAT DO I FEEL AT THIS MOMENT? Jot down all the anger, anxiousness, scarcity, emptiness... then again, proceed as you wish: either follow the impulse to eat or just turn and start doing something.. 3. The third step is, (when you get tempted again) to PAUSE again when you sat & wrote down your feelings, now, go inward and just BE with the uncomfortable feeling. Just sit there. Tell yourself; for one whole minute I'm gonna just sit here (instead of grabbing some food right away). That PAUSE is going to give you all kinds of mixed up emotions. You're gonna be even longing for a hug, because you'll realize it's not really food that you want, so ask the next question: WHAT AM I TRULY HUNGRY FOR? ... then again proceed as you wish, either follow the impulse to eat or just turn and start doing something. (You'll notice that each time you get further and further, mastering your skill of BEING AWARE = MINDFUL.) 4. The fourth step is to SERVE YOUR FEELINGS OF PAIN, DISCOMFORT, DEPRESSION THE RIGHT WAY. Instead of Self-Medicating through food, you can now follow the appropriate channels. This could simply mean: carrying out a task that you've been avoiding (in my case it was some paperwork and every time I got myself so far to actually DO it, I just made myself a meal... I really didn't see how I could complete that task so I just avoided it for as long as I could), or as serious as checking yourself into a clinic or going to see a therapist. RESULT: The idea is that if you keep doing the exercise, - either all 4 steps at once or just one by one each time - until one day, you'll be able to just STAY AWARE of your feelings but NOT FALL FOR THE EMOTION. You will not lose sight of your thoughts, you will stay connected. You become more like a witness who 'watches' every thought rise and fall. In many many cases, it is just one particular thing we try to keep away from (like in my case) and once that task is completed, the actual craving dissipates automatically. It really won't be "hard" to "not eat" after that, because you solved the issue of WHY you have been (over)eating the first place. In other cases, it can be someone you have issues with or miss, angry at, try to avoid, or don't want confrontation but it's gonna happen anyway, feeling of self-blame and you punish yourself with food or as simple as being scared of being hungry... etc.. Sometimes it takes some what more action, more realization or time to remove the obstacle that kept you captive. GOOD LUCK. - I send love to everyone, STELL' xx.. EDIT: I see at the end of my notes: Deepak Chopra: Re-inventing The Body, Resurrecting The Soul and The Ultimate Happiness Prescription. X
„Sleep apnea is insulin resistance by the way“ Doc is saying it like it‘s self-evident whereas it‘s probably the most mind-blowingly useful information I got today (next to the fact that when the gallbladder swells up from inflammation your right shoulder area hurts, which was my precise case a while back)
I've been overeating and I feel sick. It's hard for me to find a balance. Sometimes I go three days without eating at all, other times I stuff myself like crazy with any pleasurable food I can find. I hate it. Most of the time I eat keto and do intermittent fasting though. I have gastritis and it's been getting worse. Thank you for your videos and friendly advice.
Oh gosh! I’m so relieved. I have been a bad late night snacker and since I’ve started intermittent fasting have narrowed my eating time to the evenings. I have felt some guilt about it , until I saw Dr B declare it’s an ok strategy whew
I'm fairly new to intermittent fasting and I love it, but I notice that I do tend to overeat simply to reach a decent number of calories within the time frame.
Dang this is so me. I have binge eating disorder. Once I start eating I can’t stop and it gets painful to the point where I can barely breath or walk afterwards
These patient, scientific explanations have done much more for me than the videos of bodybuilders cheering over stock music. Not ripping on them at all, I'm just grateful I found this channel because I think this "teaching style" resonates with me more.
I’ve just started my weight loss journey on RUclips and I have a lot of weight to lose ( embarrassingly so ) so I have been watching dr bergs videos a lot instead of over eating :) I’m trying to do IF but struggling - but I do feel so much better before I eat then when I finish over eating that is for sure.... I have to start getting rid of carbs out of my diet, but carbs are so hard to give up ( excuses excuses I know ) .... I am definitely not conscious eating like you are describing Dr. Berg and yes my most difficult time is at night - so my eating window needs to be at night and fast longer ..... ok, I’m going to put this information you have shown me tonight into practise .... I definitely relate to the inflammation .... when I detox I’m not in half as much pain as when I am over eating that is for sure .....
Hey Dr. Berg, would you consider doing a video on portion sizes or portion control? I think the reason most people over eat is because we as a nation have this false concept of how big our meals should be... I myself am guilty of this most of the time lol
I've never eaten to the point where I felt sick, but when I started fasting I would load up on more food than I probably needed because I didn't realise that I could last a long time on just one plate. Sometimes I don't even eat to the point of complete fullness and I go 20 or so hours before needing another meal. It's pretty great.
You are so great at explaining things clearly Dr. berg, can’t wait for your next live video...... you are awesome for people who really need motivation like me !!!
Many find it helpful to write down WHY they are doing what they are doing. What is the end goal? Read it every day for motivation or when you feel like cheating, which really is cheating yourself.
Vickie Turner I know that’s what I am doing - I have to start somewhere again and I’m trying to eat healthy calories - thanks for your advise though to me I really do appreciate it
@@jlsx3347 You are more than welcome! We are here to learn from each other and help where we can! After over 3 years of neurologists and several other doctors not knowing how to help me, I knew I had to find a guide. Thankfully, I found Dr. Berg! As I was on the verge of losing my independence, I was PLENTY motivated! Blessings to ya in your journey!
Vickie Turner sorry to hear that Vicki - what was the cause of you needing to see a neurologist - I had to see a rheumatologist but curious why you saw a neurologist and is the keto diet helping - trust me I am believer in diet - I’ve seen the results work for myself
@@jlsx3347 Good morning! I drove a big truck all over the U.S. for 20+ years. In 12-14 I drove 600 miles & don't remember any of it. No recall of most of the rest of my trip into TX & back to IN. All tests showed no signs of stroke, dementia or Alzheimer's. In 4-15, the Neurologist said I'd had a Transient Global Amnesia attack. He couldn't explain why I never fully came out of it, said I'd likely have more & I did. I had periods of just sitting in a chair, staring at nothing, not thinking. I lost a great deal of my memory to a point I couldn't spell, count, make sense of anything I heard or read, grandkids' names, etc. Nobody knew what was happening to me or why, yet they wanted to prescribe medicine, all with death as a side effect. I can't even take OTC meds due to severe reactions. When I refused the meds, they wouldn't 'help' me until I did. I knew that I'd die if I did. THEN I was led to Dr. Berg in the Fall of 2017! Since I couldn't cook anymore, I replaced my few spoons of peanut butter as my only food with his shake. I felt better & eventually began to teach myself to spell, read, count, etc. I heard him talk about his Keto/IF program about May 2018. I couldn't understand most of it, so just ate veggies & kept improving. I'm on my way, yet still large gaps in memory. I'm SO very grateful for the Doc's teachings and my instinct to follow as best I could! I think I'm close to where I'll be able to learn a new skill & earn a living again. My brain still doesn't function as it once did, but I'm a far cry from just staring into space for days on end & only eating a few spoons of peanut butter a day! I'm truly blessed!! I pray that you be truly blessed, as well!!
Great video, as always! Dr Berg is a truly life saver. For me anyway. Had this question though, I thought eating at night (evening) before going to bed was not recommended?!
He still recommends not eating several hours before bed. I think he just sees that many people still have the most trouble with hunger and snacking in the evening, so if your trying to do intermittent fasting....if you have your small eating window in the evening, you will still get the benefit of the longer fast. I find this helpful because I still get hungry and have the greatest desire to snack in the evening....wether I eat lunch or not. So as he suggests for those of us with these tendencies, now I try and just not eat until between 5 and 7 pm...and eat a proper meal.
Eva Adamska In short... the better I take care of myself, the better and longer I will be able to take care of others and need less help myself as I age. I want my choices to help me take care of others not need more people to take care of me in the future. What we do or don’t do effects other people. The less I need from others, the more I can be a giver to others. The greater good. Hope that helps. I want to be a giver in life and less of a needer. It is more peaceful for me.
Dr. Berg.....can you please explain how “sleep apnea is insulin resistance”? ....perhaps do a video on this issue? .....that would be so much appreciated!...Thank you!
Hi Dr. Berg thank you so much for all of this information If you can give us some information about the bad chemical in Shampoo and cream and perfume with the name on the chemicals we can avoid thank you dr. Berg
I agree. People put such horrible things on their skin, one of our largest organs. If you put it on your skin it is like you are ingesting it because you absorb everything through your skin. I use organic olive oil on my skin.
The list of bad chemicals would take you at least a week or more to read!! Many of the ingredients aren't even required to be listed on the container!! I use coconut oil as a total body moisturizer and deodorant. This oil doesn't allow bacteria to grow, so no body odor! I never use perfume, but I know some people who use an essential oil mixed with a light oil to make perfume. Dr. Bronner's has a variety of concentrated pure soaps that can be used for MANY things. I'm a big fan of multipurpose products. I have one bottle that can be used to wash hair, bodies, dishes, floors, laundry, the dog and just about anything else that needs to be cleaned. Some people even spray it on their plants to deter bugs! He also has a citrus rinse for the hair after washing it. They are available online and in most health food stores. The price for these products may seem expensive, BUT they are highly concentrated (so will last a long time), have been around since 1858 and proven to be effective. A company doesn't stay around for 150 years without their products doing what they say they do!!
@@jovialjuju4921 While you are in the health food store, check out Dr. Bronner's soap products. Highly concentrated so less expensive in the long run and multipurpose. I love them.
This was an excellent message. I have an eating disorder. I am grateful that i acquired willingness and life skills to combat obesity. Thank you for your videos.
Why this man has my back is the miracle! I eat to uncomfortable, yet, I want more. Because he said it's yesterdays food doing that he is a brilliant inspiration showing us good gets better!
This speaks to my issue. I love IF and keto but I have to drop IF when I want to reach maintenance calories. I top out at 1600 calories on fasting days. Less, usually. Easy to go as low as 800. I have to drop IF to hit 2000. Down from 240 to 170. Been doing this for more than a year.
I'm doing omad and over ate a week ago, never again! I woke up in the middle of the night with incredible pain. My stomach felt like it was going to burst, it was awful. I feel full all day but once I started eating it was hard to shut that off. Now I'm 30 days in , I feel full after the meal and dont continue to over eat.
Hi Dr. Berg, you mentioned "sleep apnea is insulin resistance." Can you explain on that? I wasn't diagnosed with sleep apnea 9 years ago. It started after a career change which included high stress and shift work. I was not over weight and 30 years of age when diagnosed.
This video was me for my whole life. Now that I’m on Keto and IF, I have the opposite problem. My appetite is so low, and my tolerance for eating is so low, that I can’t eat enough veggies and protein to get my nutrients. I eat a few bites, and I’m done. How am I going to get enough potassium that way? I can never hit 4700 mg per day. That’s a LOT of greens.
I think it's the way we are raised. Our parents force us to clean our plates no matter what, even if we're full or just not hungry. And we wonder why we grow up with an eating disorder and overeat, and feel we have to clean the plate no matter what.
Yes! I had to eat tripe, brains, kidney, and weird stuff. I hated this and my mother made me eat it, not allowed to go to bed.
Absolutely true!
@@lovetruth5733 brains and kidneys are actually really healthy, one of the most nutritious food according to Dr berg and many more.

I been doing it 23:1 and just felt like crap when I over ate. so I finally figured out to do correct keto with more fat and smaller meals
I’ve read it’s best to stop eating when you are still just a tiny bit hungry. You have to leave room for proper digestion, it makes sense to me. One big thing that’s helped me is making a conscious effort to chew my food until there is no chunks, completely liquified. This forced me to slow down and it’s helped my digestive system tremendously. I also try to time my meals by the circadian rhythm, we produce our most digestive juices when the sun is out. More digestive juices means less undigested food in my body…I will take all the help I can get.
Also, it takes a little time to realize you're not hungry anymore after eating. I agree with slowing down when eating a meal.
I was actually going to order food before I watched this video. Thanks Dr Berg.
ORDER IT!!!!! You only live once
GOOD JOB PHALGUNI.👍👍👍
Food is for the weak!
@@LuvyStylesOfficial I want that t-shirt! 🏋️♀️
Your stomach gets smaller when you fast, it’s easier to eat less.
Not in my case!!!
Maybe, but that 7 to 10 cups of salad sure puts a strain on my stomach
true. just get going & you will eat less
Some women eat very little and then eat like a roman soldier during that time of the month.
Not in my case either. Been IF for about 8 months...6 hr eating window I could eat the whole fridge if I didnt stop myself. I consume about 1k calories, then 2 hr later about 500 cal then another 1k later. I could eat more
Relatable video, uh, from things I've seen others do.
Wow. I guess this comment is relatable to many, uh, who have "witnessed" things others have done. Yeah, that's the ticket.
LOL
Hahaha! 😆
I'm 33 6,1" and 335 lbs have high blood pressure i over eat all the time I consume energy drinks and smoke weed and cigarettes and drink whisky and struggle with my addictions. I really like watching your vids the information you share does help a little.
I think u made this video for me gorsh..exactly what I went through yesterday ☹️
Same here what the hell 😂😂
The Great I bet u...I suffered yesterday 😂
Lizz Wills
Lmao I vomited and had to number 2 , stomach pains also 😂
Me three 😒
Same 😳😳😳
Totally agree with the late eating window. I could never get into eating in the morning so it was natural for me to keep fasting through lunch and eat only in the evening. Just remember it doesn't work well if you stay up late on the weekend!
I stopped going to restaurants years ago...........too much poison food.
Let alone unclean preparation of that food.
Yes. And 99 percent of restaurant cook in MARGARINE which will kill you dead !!
Yeah it's no the money but I prefer to spend less and healthy. Then spending time and money in the hospital.
R R And they take your money to poison you!!😮
I am born in a restaurant, what could be better is the cheap vegetable oil (not high-end restaurants ofc) , and generally veggies not washed properly (not all veggies ofc). So really not worse than most households, besides that all good mate.
You keep me accountable for things I don’t want to be accountable for. Thank you 🙏🏿🙏🏿
In America we are trained to overeat, or so it seems...........99 cent hamburgers, buffets everywhere and open salad bars, fill your tank, eat until you pop. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and every other holiday people gather on to "celebrate" or "socialize" common denominator: WAY TO MUCH FOOD!!!!!!! In this country it is a lifestyle or even a way of life.....obesity is off the charts!!!!! America is FULL of excesses, but I think food is the main "drug" here.
wow you have 99cent burger in america?
I haven't seen any for several years, fidel. I was using this as a metaphor to illustrate my point about the way people use and think about food in this country, make sense??
@@two-strokesmoke7289 oh ok.. 99cents would be good haha.. i bet you dont see 2 strokes on the road as well anymore..hehehe
We have to fit in, with others. This is how it works in America
@@fidelcatsro6948 Trust me, fidel...you wouldn't want to eat it!! After eating REAL food for awhile, all of that fast food garbage will make you gag!
Thank you Dr.Berg. Great video.😊
You helped me more than any GP, doctor or NHS has helped me. Thank you!!!
My health is not quite their yet but I believe all you videos will get me their eventually
I'm not eating anything after my big lunch today. Yes too much food lol It was healthy food but too much and fell asleep. This video came just in time :)
I was taught at a young age my stomach was no larger than two fists put together, and not to stretch it out of shape. Still, it's easy to overeat calorie wise if you don't feel full. Eating enough fat to satiate is so important and cutting out simple carbs that breakdown into sugar to keep that nasty hunger hormone away-ghrelin is essential for battling cravings. Thanks for your free videos.
What’s ghrelin? I only eat once a day & it’s usually 2 eggs & 1 avocado. But if I add 1 banana or a can of pineapples I feel stuffed. I also drink ACV & lemon juice with it.
I have been eating like this a couple times a day, and indulging in anything and everything I want for about a year now, which is the first and only year I have been sober in 26 years. I know BETTER, but I was very thin and drinking 24/7 for over a decade so I had to do something to finally save my life. I wish I had you personally to help me transition back to a healthy relationship with myself and my diet and weight. I started at 114 lbs and now weigh 178 . I am 5'8. I am going to watch all your videos and thank you so much for reminding me I have to do better.
Well, did you do better?
thank you for this. im trying hard not to overeat these days and recover from the holiday/cold days. these tips are more than helpful
The sound of that marker cap opening !! So addictive
Dr. Berg - you explained this so clearly! It's very helpful. Thank you! 😊🌹
Yes Dr Berg, it did happen to me😂
Thanks to one of the videos you were talking about overeating, I stopped overeating. Thank you so much for teaching us. You're amazing!!
Thank you again Dr!! I enjoy watching your videos. They’re short, straight to the point, extremely easy to follow, and full of valuable information!! I’ve shared many with family and friends.
That is absolutely correct, Dr Berg. In Deepak Chopra's "Just Listen! Your body is speaking to you" (can't quite remember if it was a book or an article, I jotted it down in 2010), one can read: (COPY/PASTE)
Let's say your body doesn't feel like your guide and friend. Why not? It's not because you gained weight, fallen out of shape or are depressed... It is Lack Of Awareness. Awareness has tremendous power. (Hence Conscious Eating.) It tunes into every cell. Awareness is invisible. It lets my body know what my mind is thinking. I become aware of my thoughts and it also sends feed-backs from the body..
The body sends signals. Every cell of the body follows those signals perfectly. If you are not paying attention to the signals, you are working against the flow of nature, which is the Flow Of Life. When Mind-Spirit-Body are in Harmony = Happiness is a natural state. You feel good.
Discomfort, pain, depression, anxiety are disharmony. = Feeling UNHAPPINESS is thus a form of feedback. Treat it like an indication, don't get mad at yourself for feeling "bad". It simply signals that disharmony has entered somewhere: either in the mind or body. (Since form follows thought, it is more likely the mind..) It simply means: AWARENESS HAS BECOME DISCONNECTED.
Only when you look at your situation this Holistic Way is when we can link Health to Wholeness and Holiness. For all three share the same root word and all three share the states of harmony and disharmony. They have a correlate in the brain and through the nervous system the brain makes every cell Aware that you have an issue...
With other words, your entire body-mind field is responding to every single pain or pleasure! The body-mind field IS Aware. You have to consciously pay attention to it, to what your body is telling you - by feeling it, thus Awareness will arise. This Awareness is silent & intuitive. Simply by paying attention, it infiltrates every corner of the field. .... but the opposite is also true. When you withdraw Awareness, disruptions occur. The Feedback loops no longer operate as they should = thus the flow of energy needed by every cell, begins to diminish. Your body becomes more like a neglected child = being ignored when it cries. You must re-connect with it again. (...but gosh humans are so used to that 'numb' state.. with the question being: WHY did you want to be sedated the first place?)
Basically, good digestion rules the world! That's my conclusion. It's also in the Book: Supreme Personality by Delmer Eugene Croft.
EXERCISE:
1. The next time you are looking for food or are tempted to overeat, focus on what your body is saying, ask: How do I feel at this moment? Either you are truly hungry or you feel something you don't want to feel (in yr mind) and by eating, you are suppressing that particular discomfort. So now, PAUSE before you reach. See how you'll feel (surely gonna get anxious) but tell your mind that you CAN have that food afterwards. In that Allowing, your wanting will loosen..... then just go ahead and proceed as you wish: follow that impulse to either eat or just turn around and start doing something if you can resist the craving. BOTH are good because now you are doing it AWARE. This realization will add another dimension to your action.
Keep doing this every single time when you feel like munching on something. (It is usually while watching RUclips lately... ppl kind of, sort of just sit there 'doing nothing' and automatically want to grab something to eat. We can possibly call it, eating out of boredom.)
2. The second part of the exercise is when you actually start writing down that specific feeling, - just like DR BERG says. Next time you feel cravings, don't just PAUSE but grab your Notebook and be as specific as you can be by describing it, (yes it is very confronting, don't ask...) but keep answering the question: WHAT DO I FEEL AT THIS MOMENT? Jot down all the anger, anxiousness, scarcity, emptiness... then again, proceed as you wish: either follow the impulse to eat or just turn and start doing something..
3. The third step is, (when you get tempted again) to PAUSE again when you sat & wrote down your feelings, now, go inward and just BE with the uncomfortable feeling. Just sit there. Tell yourself; for one whole minute I'm gonna just sit here (instead of grabbing some food right away). That PAUSE is going to give you all kinds of mixed up emotions. You're gonna be even longing for a hug, because you'll realize it's not really food that you want, so ask the next question: WHAT AM I TRULY HUNGRY FOR? ... then again proceed as you wish, either follow the impulse to eat or just turn and start doing something. (You'll notice that each time you get further and further, mastering your skill of BEING AWARE = MINDFUL.)
4. The fourth step is to SERVE YOUR FEELINGS OF PAIN, DISCOMFORT, DEPRESSION THE RIGHT WAY. Instead of Self-Medicating through food, you can now follow the appropriate channels. This could simply mean: carrying out a task that you've been avoiding (in my case it was some paperwork and every time I got myself so far to actually DO it, I just made myself a meal... I really didn't see how I could complete that task so I just avoided it for as long as I could), or as serious as checking yourself into a clinic or going to see a therapist.
RESULT:
The idea is that if you keep doing the exercise, - either all 4 steps at once or just one by one each time - until one day, you'll be able to just STAY AWARE of your feelings but NOT FALL FOR THE EMOTION. You will not lose sight of your thoughts, you will stay connected. You become more like a witness who 'watches' every thought rise and fall. In many many cases, it is just one particular thing we try to keep away from (like in my case) and once that task is completed, the actual craving dissipates automatically. It really won't be "hard" to "not eat" after that, because you solved the issue of WHY you have been (over)eating the first place. In other cases, it can be someone you have issues with or miss, angry at, try to avoid, or don't want confrontation but it's gonna happen anyway, feeling of self-blame and you punish yourself with food or as simple as being scared of being hungry... etc.. Sometimes it takes some what more action, more realization or time to remove the obstacle that kept you captive. GOOD LUCK. - I send love to everyone, STELL' xx..
EDIT: I see at the end of my notes: Deepak Chopra: Re-inventing The Body, Resurrecting The Soul and The Ultimate Happiness Prescription. X
„Sleep apnea is insulin resistance by the way“ Doc is saying it like it‘s self-evident whereas it‘s probably the most mind-blowingly useful information I got today (next to the fact that when the gallbladder swells up from inflammation your right shoulder area hurts, which was my precise case a while back)
I've been overeating and I feel sick. It's hard for me to find a balance. Sometimes I go three days without eating at all, other times I stuff myself like crazy with any pleasurable food I can find. I hate it.
Most of the time I eat keto and do intermittent fasting though. I have gastritis and it's been getting worse. Thank you for your videos and friendly advice.
Oh gosh! I’m so relieved. I have been a bad late night snacker and since I’ve started intermittent fasting have narrowed my eating time to the evenings. I have felt some guilt about it , until I saw Dr B declare it’s an ok strategy whew
Dr. Berg is #1
I'm fairly new to intermittent fasting and I love it, but I notice that I do tend to overeat simply to reach a decent number of calories within the time frame.
Dang this is so me. I have binge eating disorder. Once I start eating I can’t stop and it gets painful to the point where I can barely breath or walk afterwards
Love your content dr berg. I watch your videos every day and they have help me greatly.
Excellent advice ☝🏻
THANK YOU DR BERG.
These patient, scientific explanations have done much more for me than the videos of bodybuilders cheering over stock music. Not ripping on them at all, I'm just grateful I found this channel because I think this "teaching style" resonates with me more.
He's a good fellow Dr Berg and has a good presentation and easy to understand.
You are saving lives, Doc.
Very useful video Dr Berg !
Thanks a lot will follow to eat consciously and prolong intermittent fasting as much as possible .
Watching these videos and reading the comments help to keep on track so thanks for the info and tips
You're a good man dr berg
I’ve just started my weight loss journey on RUclips and I have a lot of weight to lose ( embarrassingly so ) so I have been watching dr bergs videos a lot instead of over eating :) I’m trying to do IF but struggling - but I do feel so much better before I eat then when I finish over eating that is for sure.... I have to start getting rid of carbs out of my diet, but carbs are so hard to give up ( excuses excuses I know ) .... I am definitely not conscious eating like you are describing Dr. Berg and yes my most difficult time is at night - so my eating window needs to be at night and fast longer ..... ok, I’m going to put this information you have shown me tonight into practise .... I definitely relate to the inflammation .... when I detox I’m not in half as much pain as when I am over eating that is for sure .....
Well, at least you are aware of it! Too many people aren't!
Vickie Turner thank you Vickie -
Well put. Well explained. Practical suggestions. Thank you again
Dr. You are standing before the board obstructing the view , can you adjust a bit so that we can read and watch your excellent videos suitably..
Excellent advice. Thank you for the encouragement to eat more sensibly.
EXCELLENT PRESENTATION
Hey Dr. Berg, would you consider doing a video on portion sizes or portion control? I think the reason most people over eat is because we as a nation have this false concept of how big our meals should be... I myself am guilty of this most of the time lol
I've never eaten to the point where I felt sick, but when I started fasting I would load up on more food than I probably needed because I didn't realise that I could last a long time on just one plate. Sometimes I don't even eat to the point of complete fullness and I go 20 or so hours before needing another meal. It's pretty great.
Can you exercise while fasting without feeling sick
this was something I need to hear, very timely
You are so great at explaining things clearly Dr. berg, can’t wait for your next live video...... you are awesome for people who really need motivation like me !!!
Many find it helpful to write down WHY they are doing what they are doing. What is the end goal? Read it every day for motivation or when you feel like cheating, which really is cheating yourself.
Vickie Turner I know that’s what I am doing - I have to start somewhere again and I’m trying to eat healthy calories - thanks for your advise though to me I really do appreciate it
@@jlsx3347 You are more than welcome! We are here to learn from each other and help where we can! After over 3 years of neurologists and several other doctors not knowing how to help me, I knew I had to find a guide. Thankfully, I found Dr. Berg! As I was on the verge of losing my independence, I was PLENTY motivated! Blessings to ya in your journey!
Vickie Turner sorry to hear that Vicki - what was the cause of you needing to see a neurologist - I had to see a rheumatologist but curious why you saw a neurologist and is the keto diet helping - trust me I am believer in diet - I’ve seen the results work for myself
@@jlsx3347 Good morning! I drove a big truck all over the U.S. for 20+ years. In 12-14 I drove 600 miles & don't remember any of it. No recall of most of the rest of my trip into TX & back to IN. All tests showed no signs of stroke, dementia or Alzheimer's. In 4-15, the Neurologist said I'd had a Transient Global Amnesia attack. He couldn't explain why I never fully came out of it, said I'd likely have more & I did.
I had periods of just sitting in a chair, staring at nothing, not thinking. I lost a great deal of my memory to a point I couldn't spell, count, make sense of anything I heard or read, grandkids' names, etc. Nobody knew what was happening to me or why, yet they wanted to prescribe medicine, all with death as a side effect. I can't even take OTC meds due to severe reactions. When I refused the meds, they wouldn't 'help' me until I did. I knew that I'd die if I did.
THEN I was led to Dr. Berg in the Fall of 2017! Since I couldn't cook anymore, I replaced my few spoons of peanut butter as my only food with his shake. I felt better & eventually began to teach myself to spell, read, count, etc. I heard him talk about his Keto/IF program about May 2018. I couldn't understand most of it, so just ate veggies & kept improving.
I'm on my way, yet still large gaps in memory. I'm SO very grateful for the Doc's teachings and my instinct to follow as best I could! I think I'm close to where I'll be able to learn a new skill & earn a living again. My brain still doesn't function as it once did, but I'm a far cry from just staring into space for days on end & only eating a few spoons of peanut butter a day! I'm truly blessed!! I pray that you be truly blessed, as well!!
Great video, as always! Dr Berg is a truly life saver. For me anyway. Had this question though, I thought eating at night (evening) before going to bed was not recommended?!
He still recommends not eating several hours before bed. I think he just sees that many people still have the most trouble with hunger and snacking in the evening, so if your trying to do intermittent fasting....if you have your small eating window in the evening, you will still get the benefit of the longer fast. I find this helpful because I still get hungry and have the greatest desire to snack in the evening....wether I eat lunch or not. So as he suggests for those of us with these tendencies, now I try and just not eat until between 5 and 7 pm...and eat a proper meal.
We can decide each day not to feel that way. Let us practice our self discipline for the greater good. 🦋
Eva Adamska
In short... the better I take care of myself, the better and longer I will be able to take care of others and need less help myself as I age. I want my choices to help me take care of others not need more people to take care of me in the future. What we do or don’t do effects other people. The less I need from others, the more I can be a giver to others. The greater good. Hope that helps.
I want to be a giver in life and less of a needer. It is more peaceful for me.
Each vid is a lock an key that I didn't know existed. Thanks Dr B!!
Dr. Berg.....can you please explain how “sleep apnea is insulin resistance”? ....perhaps do a video on this issue? .....that would be so much appreciated!...Thank you!
Super video, so motivating !!!!!!!! Thanks, Dr Berg 😆
thank you so much for these videos
Thanks for breaking down the stages of what happens when we overeat.
Thank you for that information! Very helpful
Thank you for some very helpful insights.
Hi Dr. Berg thank you so much for all of this information
If you can give us some information about the bad chemical in Shampoo and cream and perfume with the name on the chemicals we can avoid thank you dr. Berg
I agree. People put such horrible things on their skin, one of our largest organs. If you put it on your skin it is like you are ingesting it because you absorb everything through your skin. I use organic olive oil on my skin.
Try organic shampoo from health food store ✌️✌️✌️
The list of bad chemicals would take you at least a week or more to read!! Many of the ingredients aren't even required to be listed on the container!! I use coconut oil as a total body moisturizer and deodorant. This oil doesn't allow bacteria to grow, so no body odor! I never use perfume, but I know some people who use an essential oil mixed with a light oil to make perfume. Dr. Bronner's has a variety of concentrated pure soaps that can be used for MANY things. I'm a big fan of multipurpose products. I have one bottle that can be used to wash hair, bodies, dishes, floors, laundry, the dog and just about anything else that needs to be cleaned. Some people even spray it on their plants to deter bugs! He also has a citrus rinse for the hair after washing it. They are available online and in most health food stores. The price for these products may seem expensive, BUT they are highly concentrated (so will last a long time), have been around since 1858 and proven to be effective. A company doesn't stay around for 150 years without their products doing what they say they do!!
@@jovialjuju4921 While you are in the health food store, check out Dr. Bronner's soap products. Highly concentrated so less expensive in the long run and multipurpose. I love them.
research water-only showering or hair washing or "no poo" hair washing.
Please do make some video for people who are underweight. Also, do mention how to gain weight in a healthy way. Thanks
This was an excellent message. I have an eating disorder. I am grateful that i acquired willingness and life skills to combat obesity. Thank you for your videos.
Why this man has my back is the miracle! I eat to uncomfortable, yet, I want more. Because he said it's yesterdays food doing that he is a brilliant inspiration showing us good gets better!
Thx for the Info, Dr. Eric Berg DC.
Thank you Dr. Eric.
Sound like this Doctor is going to live for ever....!!!
This speaks to my issue. I love IF and keto but I have to drop IF when I want to reach maintenance calories. I top out at 1600 calories on fasting days. Less, usually. Easy to go as low as 800. I have to drop IF to hit 2000. Down from 240 to 170. Been doing this for more than a year.
Love yur videos so inspiring and motivational... can you please do a video about what happens when you eat and then lay down what it does to the body?
that was very useful. Thank you!
Glad to be of help!
Great stuff 👍👍🙏🙏
Thanks so much Dr.berg great 👍 video
I'm doing omad and over ate a week ago, never again! I woke up in the middle of the night with incredible pain. My stomach felt like it was going to burst, it was awful. I feel full all day but once I started eating it was hard to shut that off. Now I'm 30 days in , I feel full after the meal and dont continue to over eat.
Great video Eric
You are The Best Doc! ❤️
Dr Berg: its probably never happened to you..."
Me: everyday😪
Thank you…
U described my struggle to the T.....really appreciate ur suggestions
Hi Dr. Berg, you mentioned "sleep apnea is insulin resistance." Can you explain on that? I wasn't diagnosed with sleep apnea 9 years ago. It started after a career change which included high stress and shift work. I was not over weight and 30 years of age when diagnosed.
Thanks from Egypt
Excellent content
This is great. Just out of curiosity...say you're eating a healthy diet and not overeating. Does sleep give your intestines enough time to rest?
Great video Dr Berg, I'm a fan!
Only thing: I would not (personally at least) readjust I.F. to eat at night because sleep becomes a problem..
This video was me for my whole life. Now that I’m on Keto and IF, I have the opposite problem. My appetite is so low, and my tolerance for eating is so low, that I can’t eat enough veggies and protein to get my nutrients. I eat a few bites, and I’m done. How am I going to get enough potassium that way? I can never hit 4700 mg per day. That’s a LOT of greens.
