I eat a lot of meat, eggs, hard cheese, ghee and sauerkraut. Take vitamins, exercise, sunshine, sleep 8 to 10 hours and drink lemon water. I lost 60 lbs and feel like I'm 35. Being a grandmother of 8 beautiful grandchildren and going on 60 but, because of your helpful videos Dr. Berg I'm feeling amazing! Thank you ❤
You look great! I am your age, but so perplexed as to how people have bowel movements on carnivore. Wondering if you had constipation and then it got better or how your colon dealt with the change. You look 30
I slipped from following the Dr Berg healthy keto diet after I lost 2stone and felt great, got back on my old diet and felt terrible in comparison, now back on it with my plate full of green veggies,with my eggs and moderate protein,acv, IF and what a difference. It's a way of life not a diet that's what I've learned! Keep up the good work Dr Berg !!
Yes Dr, I really enjoyed eating half cooked vegetables with fresh and organic fruits like ovacados,bananas, carrots, beet roots and others, here in Africa, I reduced 8 kilograms from mid July to this August, less carbs, less meals and exercises in daily basis. Many thanks Dr and be blessed for the good job your doing to God's people.
Sharing Dr Berg notes: Vegetables have numerous health benefits. They are packed with important vitamins and minerals and are high in fiber. Vegetables are also loaded with phytonutrients, which are hard to get from other types of foods. Phytonutrients have a range of incredible health benefits, from protecting against inflammation to fighting cancer. Raw vegetables grown on soil even contain probiotics, which are friendly bacteria. Organic vegetables have a higher diversity of friendly microbes than non-organic vegetables. But keep in mind that the more you cook a vegetable, the more you’ll lessen the probiotic effects. It’s important to note that not everyone can tolerate high amounts of vegetables. If you are immune compromised or have any inflammatory condition in the gut, you may have difficulty consuming vegetables. If you consume raw vegetables and you feel worse, you may do better on the carnivore diet for a while. However, you could also try fermented vegetables or cooked vegetables. When you cook vegetables, you destroy many of the vitamins and enzymes in them. Heat also kills the microbes in vegetables. However, if you lightly steam or sauté your vegetables, you won’t lose minerals or as many vitamins. Steaming or sautéing vegetables may actually enhance the phytonutrients-but the data on this is inconsistent. As far as raw vegetables vs. cooked vegetables, I believe it’s best to consume a good portion of your vegetables raw. But, certain vegetables should be cooked, like Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and cauliflower. The worst thing you can do as far as preserving the nutrient content in your vegetables is to fry them. You can still consume fried vegetables but don’t think you’re getting a lot of nutrients from them. Thank you Dr Berg!🐱👍🏿
I was bloated for well over a decade eating veggies! I'm on the carnivore now and it's crazy I can have a flat stomach! I Thought it was impossible! Thanks for the heads up!

@@robinchat9024 absolutely yes. Sometimes I do find myself needing something more then just meat and I don't know what it is. I'm trying to figure it out.

This summer I planted so many varieties of lettuce, and vegetables, so much zucchini, and many varieties of tomatoes, being from an Italian family, I love my salad for breakfast and I add sardines in pure extra virgin olive oil on my salad, plus I enjoy my fig trees, I cut the fig in half, put some goat cheese, and wrap prosciutto around it, enjoy, thats sometimes, is my breakfast 🇮🇹❤️🐎 1:49
You need to wash the veggies thoroughly to remove pesticides. Steaming for a short time will help veggies to get digested quickly. Raw veggies may cause digestive problems to many people.
The better question is: which is better digested by the individual? Regardless of the vitamins and minerals, if you can’t digest raw foods well you’re not getting most of the nutrients.
You are absolutely correct, all of these dietary theories depend on the individual and his, or her previous and present lifestyle, and medical condition. I knew a guy who went raw vegan for about a year, and the consequences were severe to almost deadly. We have to be mindful of our bodies, medical history, and pragmatic with our health. Study, different sources and question everything. So, I repeat, your comment is appreciated.
I started on the Keto diet watching you. I had great success until the 1 year mark and then felt like things weren’t working so well anymore. Took me a while to figure out how to kick start things again. I’m now a carnivore with a few berries and nuts now and then. I noticed right away that I look healthier and sleep better now. Seem to be more muscular all around. Just got new met panel done. Everything is perfect. I’m 63.
It'll probably depend how clean the vegetable is...if it's washed well enough...how long you boil them for...no chemicals etc...One way of saving the minerals if you boil your vegetables is, save the water you've boiled them in and pour it into your stock and use it as your sauce/gravy....
@@lovesun8271 ...those will not remove chemicals inside the plant....another issue with non-organic produce is it's grown in depleted soils which lack vital nutrients.
I've done raw green smoothie plans, three times in my life. I've had three serious kidney stones three times in my life. Yep! Each one was when I was blending veggies.
It’s absolutely incredible that we (the public) have so much valuable information available to us for free. There is absolutely no excuse for anyone to not look after their own health. The only barrier is laziness! Thank you Dr Berg 🙏
Yeah, i dont think so. Another huge barrier is uniformed doctors and the gov that back them. My 75 yr old diabetic father trusting his doctors when they tell him to eat frequent small meals and that oatmeal is great for breakfast? He tries, he is not lazy, just too old to use technology well and when I bring him evidence, he doesn't believe it over what his doctors say. Come on, quit blaming people for a problem a gov and medical industry created.
@@nancyludlum2646 Yep, I come from a family that couldn’t even afford our rent. The poorest in my whole school. Knowledge is key :) fruits, vegetables and grains are the cheapest foods in the world.
@@GGGirl55 Sorry for your tough times! It's just that carbs are cheap, easy and everywhere (i.e., the cost of a bagel or cheap processed food bar vs. a head of lettuce, an avocado, etc.). With a head of lettuce over $1.50 and an avocado at $0.69-75 each (in my area), then a $0.50 (or less) bagel or processed food bar, over time, is a cheap option...but not nutritious. Healthy is obviously better but certain food choices might not attainable for some households, especially with the inflation now.
Excellent point too, which again I blame our gov for, has nothing to do with people being lazy. Corn and soy and grains are heavily subsidized by out gov, making these horrible foods so cheap. Imagine if they poured those subsidies into organic produce and free range eggs, grass fed beef and dairy. These would all be so much cheaper and our health so much better. It seems such an obvious fix, why are we still subsiding posion?? It is criminal to me and people like my dad keep suffering from the entire system. I am so sorry you are struggling as well. It isn't becuase you are lazy, I can see that much
Wrong. Some foods have phytonutrients that can only be fully unlocked by cooking. Also, there are several vegetables known to carry E. Coli, tapeworms, their eggs, parasites. You have to at least blanch first. Not to mention oxalic acids and phytates.
@@doshadial Some* Some veggies are better raw. Some are better cooked. Some have different benefits when cooked a certain way or when raw.. Diversity is best.
Thank you Dr Berg I really felt better when I got vegetables out of my diet especially raw ones I like fermented vegetables more especially fermented radish 😊
I’m so thankful for all the free information you give on this channel. I’m starting my journey NOW and documenting here for accountability. Your advice is life changing, thank you ❤
I eat a wide variety of veggies, and keep things diverse...salads, sautes that are brief leaving a little crunch. I always feel better after eating them especially salads.
Ive always eaten both raw and cooked. Some days i want cooked, while some days i crave raw! My fave way to eat carrots is to grate them and add water, vinegar and salt. If you want some sweet in it, you can either grate an apple with it or add raisins!
Thanks for this Dr Berg. I've also read and watched videos on lycopene in tomatoes. It becomes far more bio-available when tomatoes are cooked or in a cooked sauce.
Always thought about this. So my thinking is right. Even a plant grown in a pot of soil is not going to have all the nutrients. Plants have to grow in rich natural soil in order to have all the beneficial properties.
Great video doc. 6:45 Most Americans get diarrhea three times a year and a foodborne illness once every six years. I believe both salmonella and E. coli are a normal part of our microbiome. I've heard a simple change in diet can often cause diarrhea, especially in women.
Raw vegetables increase vata according to ancient ayurveda, its hard to digest raw in comparison to cooked. So i prefer to eat cooked as its doesn't cause bloating and gas
Great video! I've been on the program for two years, and I've never experienced hair loss or gallstones. I wonder if it's because I sauté everything I eat, haha. Except bell peppers, they taste better raw!
I'm getting used to sauerkraut and did find the raw version at my local store. It does digest well. With my low thyroid, I am leery about eating kale and cabbbage (ie the cruciferous vegetables), but we shall see. And I am eating kale too. I do take a low amount (.75 mcg) of synthroid. (Family history of thyroid from mineral content in the Ottawa triangle. My grandfather died at 54 and my father at age 62 from their thyroids giving up, leading to heart attacks.) I started following Dr. Berg because he seemed to be the only one with interest in how diet etc. affects thyroid. More than my endocrinologist certainly. Good work! 💖💕🇨🇦
I feel when I eat cooked vegetables that as long as the fiber still intact, it is at least feeding my gut biome, which also produces a lot of nutrients I need.
2 years ago I started putting spinach celery carrots vinegar other vegetables/v8/water in a blender every day and drinking it all. (An accident in 2006 caused me to lose most taste, I finally found a way it benefits me.
Zinc is the best mineral to have a good sense of smell. Under stress and infections. You need quite a bit more zinc. Perhaps your zinc got knocked down during that stress and trauma. Check it out. I hope your sense of smell comes back or maybe it is already.
Used your advise. Stopped sugar, lost 60 lbs. I eat sardines for lunch and evenings have round meat and eggs. I expected to gain weight, but lost and feel great . Yes, an butter. I love it. My favorite. White rice and butter and soy sauce.. Downey California ❤❤
Yes, everyone can’t handle veggies depending on their current situation. For me, I had to go carnivore for a couple months and then was able to reintroduce certain plants back and I am now able to eat a broader variety of plants. Gluten is still something I stay away from and have seen benefits from it such as no more bloating. Find out what works for you
Just would say there are a lot of studies indicatimg garlic should always be heated. Seems garlics best powers open exponentially when cooked or baked.
I personally cannot handle high fiber vegetables. My motility slows down and I can get blocked up. I've been like that since I was growing up too, but if these vegetables work for others then those people should definitely keep having them! Instead for me I stick to a low fiber diet and have great motility with Sauerkraut and and Kimchi in my daily rotation and I'm doing great. Thank you for the helpful and informative videos Dr.!!
I wonder if there has been any research done on this. Japanese cuisine is mostly about boiling food without oil. Chinese food is about frying in oil. Both cultures do not eat so much raw vegetable on a daily basis. I am Japanese and I decided to do plant based diet and started eating lots of salad with raw vegetables. My dad who was 86 had to eat raw too because I cook for him. Turns out his prostate cancer PSA number which was creeping up went back down and improved so it surprised the doctor. (this happened within less than 2 months!! because the checkup was every 3 month) The ONLY change was his diet. I always cooked the vegetables before but my big question was whether serving the vegetables raw made the big difference. I believethere must be some nutrients we can take when we take them raw.
My gut does not like much fiber and anti-nutrients. They make me bloated, gazzy and tired. I love the taste of veggie's, so I peel and deseed them, cook them very well and toss out the cooking water. In this way I can tolerate them. I eat mostly animal based food with a little bit of veg for the taste.
Be careful on saying you what your gut doesn’t like when you understand that your gut physiologically is no different than any other human but the differences are only in the microbiotic that are present or not present it’s a matter of what they do to your gut and if you have bacteria that are more prolific with meat then it’s easier for you to eat meat and less with vegetables so it’s not you but your bacteria all right fault for the gassiness which is only temporary and high-fiber diet when you work in fiber the right way and slowly increase it your gut bacteria shift and you do not get discomfort!
@@jamescalvin488 By gut I meant the intestins with its habitants. But I do not need to eat more fiber, I do not want to eat more fiber. Meat, eggs and dairy give anything I need. I just eat some cooked veg for the taste, also some black olives. I have never felt better!
Dr, Berg, you mentioned that pressure cooking destroys nutrients. That means that canning vegetables leaves them stripped of nutrients. And what about canning meat? What is the nutritional content after 90 minutes of pressure cooking? Great for preserving but...... Thank you!
I grow veggies in soil with well developed microbiology. My wife and I eat our 6-10 cups of green, leafy veggies every day as a brunch. With hard boiled eggs and avocados, our salad is practically a full OMAD meal. We use a salad dressing made of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar, and salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder; a basic Italian dressing. We do eat a heated soup with squash, veggies, and meats after work. It is sort of a stretched OMAD eaten within an eight hour window. The meat is not grass fed and finished (yet), but the eggs in the salad are pasture raised. I would love your opinion on this regime.
@NoMoreCookiesSorry "The meat is not grass fed and finished (yet)," indicates clearly that I have heard, and agree with, his teaching on this matter. This understanding was further clarified when I said, "but the eggs in the salad are pasture raised." So, you see, there was no question of the importance of grass fed and finished meats at all. There was a question; regarding his opinion of the basic diet I presented, with the clarifications regarding said grass fed and finished meats: "I would love your opinion on this regime." That was the only question proffered. If you would care to comment on that, your words would be much appreciated.
@NoMoreCookiesSorry Yes, he did, and I love eggs sunny side up, but that does not go as well in a salad. Too messy! LOL But, thank you for this comment. It was a good reminder of that fact. I soft boil the eggs to keep the yokes from being too hard, which seems to be good, as you have just reminded me. I may even take a minute or two off the cook time as a result. Again, thank you...sincerely.
Learned the other day about a simple Indian side dish called raita when learning about postbiotics. If heat breaks down the nutrients in veggies then skip cooking them, instead dice them up and mix in some Greek yogurt and done.
In the UK we have had quite a few instances of elderly people (mainly in care homes) getting sick and some dying from Listeria infections after consuming vegetables. I personally think this is due to vegetables and fruits not being washed properly before consumption in addition to weak immune systems. Not sure if similar occurs in the USA. Cucumbers for some reason seems to be one of the main culprits, but of course there are others. In the UK it is not normal to peel many vegetables and fruits prior to cooking/consumption (bananas and oranges being the obvious exceptions).
Very informative video. I will stick with both. Some veg you must eat cooked thoroughly or you will have real issues. Beans and mushrooms immediately spring to mind.
Hi Dr. Berg. Multi-part question in regards to consuming veggies. I’ve been putting all my veggies in a blender and drinking it. Is there any loss in nutritional value when the vegetables are blended? 2nd part: when drinking your vegetable smoothie, does the rate of consumption affect how much of the nutrients get absorbed in your body? For example drinking 24oz of vegetables in 5 minutes, vs drinking 24oz over the span of an hour. Thanks!
Thanks for this video. Some vegetables, if gently cooked, release nutritional properties - hence enhancing their beneficial properties. This actually includes tomato and carrots.
I was raw vegan for over a year - I can tell you from experience the way you feel for the first year of going raw is amazing - the energy is off the hook however I could not sustain it because for me I needed some meat because I became depleted - not much meat and yes I’m O- and suppose to be the meat eater, well that theory isn’t always true for all people - I don’t need much meat however I do need some of that kind of that protein. I eat a credit card sized portion of meat and because I live in an area where grass fed is not available because it ALL goes to the big city - I supplement with powdered paleo protein in my smoothies that I purchase online. - and it’s FABULOUS! I take almost all of Berg’s products because I can’t eat enough food to get the nutrients I need - I don’t suffer overweight because I am omad with a prolonged 3-4 day fast 3x a month. I’m an invalid and mostly wheelchair bound so I have to be very strict with myself - no cheating and NEVER touching grains or sugar EVER. So for me I eat both cooked and raw and for heaven’s sake y’all don’t boil your veg without cooking off the SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER you added to the pan don’t pour off those vitamins. It’s all about technique in cooking and you owe it to yourself to be autodidact 💚☘️💚
A famous Russian raw- eater vegan blogger living in Asia ( Thailand?) ( I don‘t remember her name) died a couple of days ago because of nutrient deficiencies 😢
I’m not clear with what you were trying to say about how to cook vegetables and what to do with the water. Clearly I’m doing it wrong. Can you explain a little further? Thank you.
You can ferment vegs. It is very easy. You just need salt and water. The best are cucumber, tomatoes, beetroot. In east Europe we did a lot of fermented jars
@@lucricia_mokgolo much more healthy. I have gut problem with raw /cooked vegs. But not with the fermented ones. There are no carbs in the fermented veg just probiotics. I fixed many healthy issues. And they are delicious
Well, given that most raw veg is unpalatable to the extent of being inedible, so end up in the bin, while most cooked vegetables are fine so get consumed, it becomes clear which achieves more.
As ever the ideal lies somewhere in the middle, so many (especially young people) these days complain about weak looking jaw lines and have to explore "mewing" where as those of us that grew up chewing meats and vegetables that were not cooked to destruction had to crunch and masticate our food. Over cooking does not only remove the nutritional benefits. Thank you Dr Berg and team, have a great weekend every one. 👍
“Certain vegetables should be cooked” Brussels sprouts, Cauliflower and broccoli. So are these the only vegetables that “should” be cooked ? I used to have broccoli and cauliflower raw. 🙂 Please inform us if any new more data comes out.
My general role if you can have it raw its best eaten raw. The ones that need to be cooked are the zucchini, Pumpkin, green beans in my meat stew. and eggplants+ tomatoes are very filling with eggs or minced meat . I eat my cauliflower and broccoli raw. As i also prefer to have some raw tomatoes with cucumbers after the meal or in a big bowl of salad with hummus. It is very refreshing raw.
Dr berg i love your videos. I started taking 3000 mg vit B5 with 1000 mg L-carnitine and i started to loss my hair. What am i supposed to do right now? Is it b/c of l-carnitine? I read this works great with B5 for acne?
I think we should eat only carnivore until we heal our stomach and other issues such as inflammation... Then gradually start introducing plant-based Foods back into our diet and see how that goes... But take your time and do it slowly and pay attention to the results and how you feel
I would love a video on Calcific Tendonitis and how to clear it from the tendons. All the internet discusses is the shoulders, and alipathic medicine. What if someone has build up over years in all tendons, how long does it take to clear on the right diet?
Is calcium that’s causing the problem? My doc a preventive medicine doc as well as an MD. He has suggested high doses of K2, magnesium, and B12 injections to help move the calcified tissue out. and then online teaching about drinking ACV in water daily
can you please make a video on wisdom teeth and if there really is a medical need to remove them? if so, the risks and benefits. if not, how to fix overcrowding naturally thanks doc
Cooked vegetables brings out the digestive enzymes put of them. Raw vegtables take out iodine out of the body to. Red cabbage and onions are perfectly fine eating raw as much as you want and soft leaf type greens..
I put frozen broccoli to cca 90° hot water, stop the heat on the induction and just leave it for 2 minutes in hot water ... Is that a good way to contain the vitamins and sulphoraphane from broccoli?
In the video, pressure cooking is mentioned as being destructive to nutrients like frying, whereas earlier steaming was described as less damaging, What happens if you steam vegetables in a pressure cooker? I cook 8oz of organic brussel sprouts 2-3 times per week that way.
When I grill the vegetables with olive oil the juices from the vegetables come out. I then pour that onto my chicken/ meat, along with the vegetables, to eat. I wonder if I’m still getting the nutrients from the grilled vegetables
Polish word for vegetables is ''warzywa''... which stems from the verb ''warzyć'', meaning cook... vegetables contain cellulose coating and cannot be digested unless you have the stomach of a cow, made up of 4 compartments... vegetables are meant to be cooked before consumption... bloating and flatulance attest to that...
If the vegetables are going to cause inflammation in the gut maybe it's good that you slightly cook the vegetables I like my vegetables slightly cooked or steamed with lots of butter
That sucks, cause i love to stir fry my veggies in a wok. Dr. Berg are grape seed and avocado oils omega 6 oils? Thanks for your continued service to the masses💪
Dr. berg had a daughter from another country, don’t recall which one on his show a while back. She only treats people with gut issues, Leaky gut expert. they use pork only no veg to heal the gut and she said it works every time. People fly there from all over to be treated. She said they’re pork is much different high quality compared to US pork. She also said it is impossible to heal. leaky gut with any kind of carbs, including vegetables I find that interesting. People who have went to her clinic say they never felt better, and the meat was delicious.
Been thinking about this question. Plus I'm taking care of my dad and he has Chrohns and want to make sure it doesn't cause a reaction.. I'm always thinking about which and how veggies and legumes should be prepared. Thank you Dr Berg
The best way to retain the nutrients when cooking vegetables is to steam them, and the Legumes should be cooked in a pressure cooker. If your Dad is having problems with tolerating Legumes and vegetables, please don't exclude them!, A plantbased diet truly is the best for your Dad's health!. You just need to include them in his diet very, very slowly, the gut is like a muscle, to make it stronger, you need to build up slowly over time the enzymes in the gut to be able to digest and tolerate them!. A carnivore diet longterm, would cause serious health issues for your Dad, and is very bad advice!.
Studies keep showing that complex carbohydrates you'll find in whole fruits, veggies, Legumes, and whole grains are anything but inflammatory. They're actually anti-inflammatory. But we rely on our gut microbiome to process them, and if there's damage to the gut then it's also impaired in carbohydrate processing, which leads to digestive distress. That's not inflammation, that's just sloppy processing. It doesn't hurt you beyond the acute symptoms. But what does hurt you is the effect that you see from animal product consumption, less short chain fatty acids producing good bacteria, more inflammatory bacteria, increased intestinal permeability, release of bacterial endotoxin, creation of carcinogenic secondary bile salts/polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons/N-nitroso compounds/heterocyclic aromatic amines and vascular disease- fueling TMAO. Yes, it is easier for our body to digest and process meat. We don't rely on our microbiome as much for that. So you may not feel any discomfort, but keep in mind what's happening inside you. Silent but deadly!.
The source of protein, whether from plants or animals, can have very different effects on the microbiome. For example, plant protein increases the growth of anti-inflammatory species like Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus while suppressing the destructive ones like Bacteroides Fragilis and Clostridium perfringens. The result is correction of leaky gut. On the flip side, diets high in animal protein have consistently been associated with increased growth of inflammatory microbes like Bilophila Wadsworthia, Alistips and Bacteroides. These bacteria produce toxins like amines, sulfides and secondary bile salts. Amines cause food sensitivity at baseline, and then when you char meat it turns them into carcinogenic heterocyclic amines. Hydrogen sulfide has been associated with ulcerative colitis. Secondary bile salts have been associated with cancer of the colon, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, liver, pancreas and biliary tract. No surprise, this consumption of animal protein results in increased intestinal permeability and inflammation!.
In a groundbreaking study by Dr's Lawrence David and Peter Turnbaugh, a group of people cycled between a completely plant based diet, which was rich in grains, Legumes fruits and vegetables, and a animal based diet, which was composed of meats, eggs and cheeses. This "animal based diet" could also be called the Keto diet, extremely low carb, very high fat. It could also be called the "carnivore diet" 100% animal products, no plants. There were dramatic changes of the studys participants in the microbiome in less than twenty four hours. It didn't take long. The animal based diet saw the disturbing emergence of inflammatory bacteria like Bilophila Wadsworthia, Alistips putredinis, and Bacteroides. This was expected with the high levels of saturated fat and animal protein. Remember, these are the bacteria that produce toxins like amines, sulfides and secondary bile salts. Meanwhile there was starvation and recession of the healing microbes like Roseburia, Eubacterium rectal, and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii. Simular to the Paleo diet, this is a shift away from health towards disease. Perhaps the most disturbing part is the rapid emergence of Bilophila Wadsworthia, known to produce hydrogen sulfide, which promotes inflammatory bowel disease. Its alarming to consider that in less than five days the foundation is being laid for the development of Crohns disease or Ulcerative Colitis with this diet.
It all depends on what the recipe calls for now things like broccoli, cauliflower, and other different vegetables I can eat raw, but I would prefer to at least blanched him to get more of the vitamins and minerals out of them, and they be more tender to digest

Sharing Dr Berg notes:
Vegetables have numerous health benefits. They are packed with important vitamins and minerals and are high in fiber.
Vegetables are also loaded with phytonutrients, which are hard to get from other types of foods. Phytonutrients have a range of incredible health benefits, from protecting against inflammation to fighting cancer.
Raw vegetables grown on soil even contain probiotics, which are friendly bacteria. Organic vegetables have a higher diversity of friendly microbes than non-organic vegetables. But keep in mind that the more you cook a vegetable, the more you’ll lessen the probiotic effects.
It’s important to note that not everyone can tolerate high amounts of vegetables. If you are immune compromised or have any inflammatory condition in the gut, you may have difficulty consuming vegetables.
If you consume raw vegetables and you feel worse, you may do better on the carnivore diet for a while. However, you could also try fermented vegetables or cooked vegetables.
When you cook vegetables, you destroy many of the vitamins and enzymes in them. Heat also kills the microbes in vegetables.
However, if you lightly steam or sauté your vegetables, you won’t lose minerals or as many vitamins. Steaming or sautéing vegetables may actually enhance the phytonutrients-but the data on this is inconsistent.
As far as raw vegetables vs. cooked vegetables, I believe it’s best to consume a good portion of your vegetables raw. But, certain vegetables should be cooked, like Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and cauliflower.
The worst thing you can do as far as preserving the nutrient content in your vegetables is to fry them. You can still consume fried vegetables but don’t think you’re getting a lot of nutrients from them.

We have to be mindful of our bodies, medical history, and pragmatic with our health. Study, different sources and question everything.
So, I repeat, your comment is appreciated.
💯
Sure but the cooked have less nutrients so you probably need to eat more than, right? 🤷🏻♀️
Different people thrive on different diets, but balance is the key.
I started on the Keto diet watching you. I had great success until the 1 year mark and then felt like things weren’t working so well anymore. Took me a while to figure out how to kick start things again. I’m now a carnivore with a few berries and nuts now and then. I noticed right away that I look healthier and sleep better now. Seem to be more muscular all around. Just got new met panel done. Everything is perfect. I’m 63.
It'll probably depend how clean the vegetable is...if it's washed well enough...how long you boil them for...no chemicals etc...One way of saving the minerals if you boil your vegetables is, save the water you've boiled them in and pour it into your stock and use it as your sauce/gravy....
Washing does not gid rid of the chemicals because they get inside the plants both from the surface & the roots...that's why organic is better.
@MrGarymola
Washing with vinegar and salt is helping, I think 👍.
@@lovesun8271 ...those will not remove chemicals inside the plant....another issue with non-organic produce is it's grown in depleted soils which lack vital nutrients.
@@lovesun8271 I use salt for meats and veg before cooking....
I've done raw green smoothie plans, three times in my life. I've had three serious kidney stones three times in my life. Yep! Each one was when I was blending veggies.
Oxalates!
It’s absolutely incredible that we (the public) have so much valuable information available to us for free. There is absolutely no excuse for anyone to not look after their own health. The only barrier is laziness! Thank you Dr Berg 🙏
Yeah, i dont think so. Another huge barrier is uniformed doctors and the gov that back them. My 75 yr old diabetic father trusting his doctors when they tell him to eat frequent small meals and that oatmeal is great for breakfast? He tries, he is not lazy, just too old to use technology well and when I bring him evidence, he doesn't believe it over what his doctors say. Come on, quit blaming people for a problem a gov and medical industry created.
For some, it could be that affording better food is not necessarily an option.
@@nancyludlum2646 Yep, I come from a family that couldn’t even afford our rent. The poorest in my whole school. Knowledge is key :) fruits, vegetables and grains are the cheapest foods in the world.
@@GGGirl55 Sorry for your tough times! It's just that carbs are cheap, easy and everywhere (i.e., the cost of a bagel or cheap processed food bar vs. a head of lettuce, an avocado, etc.). With a head of lettuce over $1.50 and an avocado at $0.69-75 each (in my area), then a $0.50 (or less) bagel or processed food bar, over time, is a cheap option...but not nutritious. Healthy is obviously better but certain food choices might not attainable for some households, especially with the inflation now.
Excellent point too, which again I blame our gov for, has nothing to do with people being lazy. Corn and soy and grains are heavily subsidized by out gov, making these horrible foods so cheap. Imagine if they poured those subsidies into organic produce and free range eggs, grass fed beef and dairy. These would all be so much cheaper and our health so much better. It seems such an obvious fix, why are we still subsiding posion?? It is criminal to me and people like my dad keep suffering from the entire system. I am so sorry you are struggling as well. It isn't becuase you are lazy, I can see that much
Generally we should eat both.
Yes indeed. Unless you have no teeth then it just makes sense to cook them 💚☘️💚
But mother nature did not provide us with a cooker
Wrong. Some foods have phytonutrients that can only be fully unlocked by cooking. Also, there are several vegetables known to carry E. Coli, tapeworms, their eggs, parasites. You have to at least blanch first. Not to mention oxalic acids and phytates.
Agreed
@@doshadial
Some*
Some veggies are better raw. Some are better cooked. Some have different benefits when cooked a certain way or when raw.. Diversity is best.
Thank you Dr Berg I really felt better when I got vegetables out of my diet especially raw ones I like fermented vegetables more especially fermented radish 😊
I’m so thankful for all the free information you give on this channel. I’m starting my journey NOW and documenting here for accountability. Your advice is life changing, thank you ❤
Certainly.
Great people turn into gods when they do things for free.
I eat a wide variety of veggies, and keep things diverse...salads, sautes that are brief leaving a little crunch. I always feel better after eating them especially salads.
Ive always eaten both raw and cooked. Some days i want cooked, while some days i crave raw! My fave way to eat carrots is to grate them and add water, vinegar and salt. If you want some sweet in it, you can either grate an apple with it or add raisins!
1 word. Ginger...with the vinegar 🤤
That's how my Thai restaurant does it.
try and add some radish to it.. little kick with some sweet is a great mix.. tried it with apples and carrots was yummy
I just make carrot cake 🎂😁🥕👌
I enjoy Vegetables both raw and steamed. Very informative video Dr Berg 🩷
Great!
Thanks for this Dr Berg. I've also read and watched videos on lycopene in tomatoes. It becomes far more bio-available when tomatoes are cooked or in a cooked sauce.
Yes, that's correct.
Dr berg says you still can make it bio available by adding olive oil to it.
Always thought about this. So my thinking is right. Even a plant grown in a pot of soil is not going to have all the nutrients. Plants have to grow in rich natural soil in order to have all the beneficial properties.
Thank you Doctor for this valuable video.I eat both raw and cooked vegetables.I just love vegetables.
Glad to hear that! You're very welcome.
Dr Berg your videos are always so informative and educational. Thank you very much
Glad you enjoy my videos! Thanks for watching.
Dr.Berg I have no words for you, you’re always the Best in the world 🌎 😇
Thank you so much for your support!
Amen! 😀
Great video doc. 6:45 Most Americans get diarrhea three times a year and a foodborne illness once every six years. I believe both salmonella and E. coli are a normal part of our microbiome. I've heard a simple change in diet can often cause diarrhea, especially in women.
Thanks for the presentation and analysis. I always wondered about raw or cooked. Thanks for explaining
As always, a video Jam Packed with excellent information!
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm Jam! 🍯
Raw vegetables increase vata according to ancient ayurveda, its hard to digest raw in comparison to cooked. So i prefer to eat cooked as its doesn't cause bloating and gas
Great video! I've been on the program for two years, and I've never experienced hair loss or gallstones. I wonder if it's because I sauté everything I eat, haha. Except bell peppers, they taste better raw!
That's wonderful then. Stay safe and healthy!
I'm getting used to sauerkraut and did find the raw version at my local store. It does digest well.
With my low thyroid, I am leery about eating kale and cabbbage (ie the cruciferous vegetables), but we shall see. And I am eating kale too.
I do take a low amount (.75 mcg) of synthroid. (Family history of thyroid from mineral content in the Ottawa triangle. My grandfather died at 54 and my father at age 62 from their thyroids giving up, leading to heart attacks.)
I started following Dr. Berg because he seemed to be the only one with interest in how diet etc. affects thyroid. More than my endocrinologist certainly.
Good work! 💖💕🇨🇦
Definitely better than most regular Doctors!
Sauerkraut is my main go-to as a probiotic.
I feel when I eat cooked vegetables that as long as the fiber still intact, it is at least feeding my gut biome, which also produces a lot of nutrients I need.
2 years ago I started putting spinach celery carrots vinegar other vegetables/v8/water in a blender every day and drinking it all. (An accident in 2006 caused me to lose most taste, I finally found a way it benefits me.
Zinc is the best mineral to have a good sense of smell. Under stress and infections. You need quite a bit more zinc. Perhaps your zinc got knocked down during that stress and trauma. Check it out. I hope your sense of smell comes back or maybe it is already.
Be careful about overloading on oxalates from raw spinach. Didn’t work out well for me. Check out Sally K Norton’s work on high oxalate foods.
Used your advise. Stopped sugar, lost 60 lbs. I eat sardines for lunch and evenings have round meat and eggs. I expected to gain weight, but lost and feel great . Yes, an butter. I love it. My favorite. White rice and butter and soy sauce.. Downey California ❤❤
Well done. 👍
White rice is not keto. anyways good job
What is round meat please assist.
@@RobertsKibasa-wi9mf It's very much like Ground Meat (burger minced beef) just with less "G". 🤔
Are stir fried vegetables okay?
Onion,mushrooms,broccoli and cauliflower?
That was the answer to my question, either. Thank you for paying attention to all the details in a healthy diet.
Awesome. Glad the info here helped. Stay safe and healthy!
An excellent video! I highly recommend this wonderful channel! Thank you Dr. Berg 😀
Yes, everyone can’t handle veggies depending on their current situation. For me, I had to go carnivore for a couple months and then was able to reintroduce certain plants back and I am now able to eat a broader variety of plants. Gluten is still something I stay away from and have seen benefits from it such as no more bloating. Find out what works for you
Just would say there are a lot of studies indicatimg garlic should always be heated. Seems garlics best powers open exponentially when cooked or baked.
I personally cannot handle high fiber vegetables. My motility slows down and I can get blocked up. I've been like that since I was growing up too, but if these vegetables work for others then those people should definitely keep having them! Instead for me I stick to a low fiber diet and have great motility with Sauerkraut and and Kimchi in my daily rotation and I'm doing great. Thank you for the helpful and informative videos Dr.!!
DR.BERG once again you are spot on.The UNIVERSE is so lucky to Have YOU IN IT.Thank you UNIVERSE.
I wonder if there has been any research done on this. Japanese cuisine is mostly about boiling food without oil. Chinese food is about frying in oil. Both cultures do not eat so much raw vegetable on a daily basis. I am Japanese and I decided to do plant based diet and started eating lots of salad with raw vegetables. My dad who was 86 had to eat raw too because I cook for him. Turns out his prostate cancer PSA number which was creeping up went back down and improved so it surprised the doctor. (this happened within less than 2 months!! because the checkup was every 3 month) The ONLY change was his diet. I always cooked the vegetables before but my big question was whether serving the vegetables raw made the big difference. I believethere must be some nutrients we can take when we take them raw.
Thanks Dr. We Love you from Ghana 🇬🇭 Africa 🌍 😊
Thanks for your support!
Organic is always better, especially when you go for taste hehe
hi dr berg- boiling vegetables, if you save the broth and re use, will the nutrients and so forth be potent still?
My gut does not like much fiber and anti-nutrients. They make me bloated, gazzy and tired. I love the taste of veggie's, so I peel and deseed them, cook them very well and toss out the cooking water. In this way I can tolerate them. I eat mostly animal based food with a little bit of veg for the taste.
Be careful on saying you what your gut doesn’t like when you understand that your gut physiologically is no different than any other human but the differences are only in the microbiotic that are present or not present it’s a matter of what they do to your gut and if you have bacteria that are more prolific with meat then it’s easier for you to eat meat and less with vegetables so it’s not you but your bacteria all right fault for the gassiness which is only temporary and high-fiber diet when you work in fiber the right way and slowly increase it your gut bacteria shift and you do not get discomfort!
@@jamescalvin488 By gut I meant the intestins with its habitants. But I do not need to eat more fiber, I do not want to eat more fiber. Meat, eggs and dairy give anything I need. I just eat some cooked veg for the taste, also some black olives. I have never felt better!
Dr, Berg, you mentioned that pressure cooking destroys nutrients. That means that canning vegetables leaves them stripped of nutrients. And what about canning meat? What is the nutritional content after 90 minutes of pressure cooking? Great for preserving but...... Thank you!
I grow veggies in soil with well developed microbiology. My wife and I eat our 6-10 cups of green, leafy veggies every day as a brunch. With hard boiled eggs and avocados, our salad is practically a full OMAD meal. We use a salad dressing made of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar, and salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder; a basic Italian dressing.
We do eat a heated soup with squash, veggies, and meats after work. It is sort of a stretched OMAD eaten within an eight hour window. The meat is not grass fed and finished (yet), but the eggs in the salad are pasture raised.
I would love your opinion on this regime.
@NoMoreCookiesSorry
"The meat is not grass fed and finished (yet)," indicates clearly that I have heard, and agree with, his teaching on this matter. This understanding was further clarified when I said, "but the eggs in the salad are pasture raised."
So, you see, there was no question of the importance of grass fed and finished meats at all. There was a question; regarding his opinion of the basic diet I presented, with the clarifications regarding said grass fed and finished meats:
"I would love your opinion on this regime."
That was the only question proffered. If you would care to comment on that, your words would be much appreciated.
@NoMoreCookiesSorry Yes, he did, and I love eggs sunny side up, but that does not go as well in a salad. Too messy! LOL
But, thank you for this comment. It was a good reminder of that fact. I soft boil the eggs to keep the yokes from being too hard, which seems to be good, as you have just reminded me. I may even take a minute or two off the cook time as a result.
Again, thank you...sincerely.
❤ Good morning Dr Berg.Thank you so much for always wonderful information ❤🙏
You're very welcome!
Hello Dr Berg, thank you for this informative video.
You're welcome. Glad you found it useful.
Learned the other day about a simple Indian side dish called raita when learning about postbiotics. If heat breaks down the nutrients in veggies then skip cooking them, instead dice them up and mix in some Greek yogurt and done.
Man! Those cooked vegetables on the thumbnail looked delicious!
I learnt everything now I have become a doctor I can open a clinic I think
I don't eat many vegetables. Cooking them increases the sugar content and raw vegetables may cause lower GI symptoms, as I happen to know.
In the UK we have had quite a few instances of elderly people (mainly in care homes) getting sick and some dying from Listeria infections after consuming vegetables. I personally think this is due to vegetables and fruits not being washed properly before consumption in addition to weak immune systems. Not sure if similar occurs in the USA. Cucumbers for some reason seems to be one of the main culprits, but of course there are others. In the UK it is not normal to peel many vegetables and fruits prior to cooking/consumption (bananas and oranges being the obvious exceptions).
Hey dr berg, great video! I was wondering if you can make a video about raw meat, raw honey, raw dairy, and raw eggs thank you
Good morning and thank you for information that truly uplifts the quality of my life! I pay attention 👍🏽
Very informative video. I will stick with both. Some veg you must eat cooked thoroughly or you will have real issues. Beans and mushrooms immediately spring to mind.
I'm never giving up my daily raw veggie salad with nine spices and real olive oil.
Hi Dr. Berg. Multi-part question in regards to consuming veggies. I’ve been putting all my veggies in a blender and drinking it. Is there any loss in nutritional value when the vegetables are blended?
2nd part: when drinking your vegetable smoothie, does the rate of consumption affect how much of the nutrients get absorbed in your body? For example drinking 24oz of vegetables in 5 minutes, vs drinking 24oz over the span of an hour.
Thanks!
Thanks for this video. Some vegetables, if gently cooked, release nutritional properties - hence enhancing their beneficial properties. This actually includes tomato and carrots.
I eat raw at lunch and cooked at dinner. Usually a lot of variety.
Sounds great!
As usually,Dr Berg rocks !! Yes sir.
Thank you so much!
how about baking and roasting veggies in the oven? is it similar to sautéing them? if anyone knows
I was raw vegan for over a year - I can tell you from experience the way you feel for the first year of going raw is amazing - the energy is off the hook however I could not sustain it because for me I needed some meat because I became depleted - not much meat and yes I’m O- and suppose to be the meat eater, well that theory isn’t always true for all people - I don’t need much meat however I do need some of that kind of that protein. I eat a credit card sized portion of meat and because I live in an area where grass fed is not available because it ALL goes to the big city - I supplement with powdered paleo protein in my smoothies that I purchase online. - and it’s FABULOUS! I take almost all of Berg’s products because I can’t eat enough food to get the nutrients I need - I don’t suffer overweight because I am omad with a prolonged 3-4 day fast 3x a month. I’m an invalid and mostly wheelchair bound so I have to be very strict with myself - no cheating and NEVER touching grains or sugar EVER. So for me I eat both cooked and raw and for heaven’s sake y’all don’t boil your veg without cooking off the SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER you added to the pan don’t pour off those vitamins. It’s all about technique in cooking and you owe it to yourself to be autodidact 💚☘️💚
A famous Russian raw- eater vegan blogger living in Asia ( Thailand?) ( I don‘t remember her name) died a couple of days ago because of nutrient deficiencies 😢
I’m not clear with what you were trying to say about how to cook vegetables and what to do with the water. Clearly I’m doing it wrong. Can you explain a little further? Thank you.
So is O+ and O- supposed to eat meat
@@josephwanjiku6853 yeah O is the meat eater apparently
@@lindapelle8738 you let the water cook/boil off until the water has evaporated. Then I usually add some butter
Fermented is the best
It does have a lot of benefits.
Both, I don't like sauerkraut but I do combine it in my salad.
Okay, that's good. Stay safe and healthy!
You can ferment vegs. It is very easy. You just need salt and water. The best are cucumber, tomatoes, beetroot. In east Europe we did a lot of fermented jars
Are fermented veggies just as healthy though?
@@lucricia_mokgolo much more healthy. I have gut problem with raw /cooked vegs. But not with the fermented ones. There are no carbs in the fermented veg just probiotics. I fixed many healthy issues. And they are delicious
@@lucricia_mokgolo search lacto fermented vegs
@pattyg-qj8zl you can't preserve steam vegs. You can preserve fermented jar for long time. I have 2 years old jars.
@@lilli9822what would the carbs disappear? Cabbage would be low carb, but not carrots and beets.
Well, given that most raw veg is unpalatable to the extent of being inedible, so end up in the bin, while most cooked vegetables are fine so get consumed, it becomes clear which achieves more.
As ever the ideal lies somewhere in the middle, so many (especially young people) these days complain about weak looking jaw lines and have to explore "mewing" where as those of us that grew up chewing meats and vegetables that were not cooked to destruction had to crunch and masticate our food. Over cooking does not only remove the nutritional benefits.
Thank you Dr Berg and team, have a great weekend every one. 👍
First I thought sauerkraut needs to be heated to be able to consume it, but I learned it can be eaten raw as well.
Gross
Straight from the jar
Good morning Dr Berg thank you so much for sharing this informative video 🥰🙏🇨🇦
Glad you liked it! Thank you for watching!
Depends on the vegetable.
“Certain vegetables should be cooked”
Brussels sprouts, Cauliflower and broccoli.
So are these the only vegetables that “should” be cooked ?
I used to have broccoli and cauliflower raw. 🙂
Please inform us if any new more data comes out.
My general role if you can have it raw its best eaten raw.
The ones that need to be cooked are the zucchini, Pumpkin, green beans in my meat stew. and eggplants+ tomatoes are very filling with eggs or minced meat . I eat my cauliflower and broccoli raw. As i also prefer to have some raw tomatoes with cucumbers after the meal or in a big bowl of salad with hummus. It is very refreshing raw.
Yum! 😀

Dr berg i love your videos. I started taking 3000 mg vit B5 with 1000 mg L-carnitine and i started to loss my hair. What am i supposed to do right now? Is it b/c of l-carnitine? I read this works great with B5 for acne?
When you say you should not fry your vegetables, do you mean deep frying, or does frying include when you saute them?
I think we should eat only carnivore until we heal our stomach and other issues such as inflammation... Then gradually start introducing plant-based Foods back into our diet and see how that goes... But take your time and do it slowly and pay attention to the results and how you feel
I would love a video on Calcific Tendonitis and how to clear it from the tendons. All the internet discusses is the shoulders, and alipathic medicine. What if someone has build up over years in all tendons, how long does it take to clear on the right diet?
Is calcium that’s causing the problem? My doc a preventive medicine doc as well as an MD. He has suggested high doses of K2, magnesium, and B12 injections to help move the calcified tissue out. and then online teaching about drinking ACV in water daily
@@charlenewilliams219Good advice and and a mainly carnivore diet!

can you please make a video on wisdom teeth and if there really is a medical need to remove them? if so, the risks and benefits. if not, how to fix overcrowding naturally thanks doc
Cooked vegetables brings out the digestive enzymes put of them. Raw vegtables take out iodine out of the body to. Red cabbage and onions are perfectly fine eating raw as much as you want and soft leaf type greens..
It isn't even a question for folks with dental problems. They have to eat cooked, soft veggies.
I put frozen broccoli to cca 90° hot water, stop the heat on the induction and just leave it for 2 minutes in hot water ... Is that a good way to contain the vitamins and sulphoraphane from broccoli?
Good approach, steamed would be the other option. Microbes are heat sensitive but can be obtained from other sources like kefir, sauerkraut and kimchi
In the video, pressure cooking is mentioned as being destructive to nutrients like frying, whereas earlier steaming was described as less damaging, What happens if you steam vegetables in a pressure cooker? I cook 8oz of organic brussel sprouts 2-3 times per week that way.
When I grill the vegetables with olive oil the juices from the vegetables come out. I then pour that onto my chicken/ meat, along with the vegetables, to eat. I wonder if I’m still getting the nutrients from the grilled vegetables
Polish word for vegetables is ''warzywa''... which stems from the verb ''warzyć'', meaning cook... vegetables contain cellulose coating and cannot be digested unless you have the stomach of a cow, made up of 4 compartments... vegetables are meant to be cooked before consumption... bloating and flatulance attest to that...
Thanks 👍 I do both. God bless you sir 🙏 appreciate
I prefer to lightly cook or steam my veggies helps bring out the flavor then I use the leftover water to make a sauce to retain the nutrients
If the vegetables are going to cause inflammation in the gut maybe it's good that you slightly cook the vegetables I like my vegetables slightly cooked or steamed with lots of butter
That sucks, cause i love to stir fry my veggies in a wok. Dr. Berg are grape seed and avocado oils omega 6 oils? Thanks for your continued service to the masses💪

Foods that healed my gut have been carnivore plus walnuts, pumpkin seeds, artichokes and berries twice a week w/ whipping cream. 😅
Dr. berg had a daughter from another country, don’t recall which one on his show a while back. She only treats people with gut issues, Leaky gut expert. they use pork only no veg to heal the gut and she said it works every time. People fly there from all over to be treated. She said they’re pork is much different high quality compared to US pork. She also said it is impossible to heal. leaky gut with any kind of carbs, including vegetables I find that interesting. People who have went to her clinic say they never felt better, and the meat was delicious.
Thanks for sharing. @@lindapelle8738
Been thinking about this question. Plus I'm taking care of my dad and he has Chrohns and want to make sure it doesn't cause a reaction.. I'm always thinking about which and how veggies and legumes should be prepared. Thank you Dr Berg
Have heard that carnivore diet is more beneficial with that type of condition. Sometimes, a complete cure!
The best way to retain the nutrients when cooking vegetables is to steam them, and the Legumes should be cooked in a pressure cooker. If your Dad is having problems with tolerating Legumes and vegetables, please don't exclude them!, A plantbased diet truly is the best for your Dad's health!.
You just need to include them in his diet very, very slowly, the gut is like a muscle, to make it stronger, you need to build up slowly over time the enzymes in the gut to be able to digest and tolerate them!. A carnivore diet longterm, would cause serious health issues for your Dad, and is very bad advice!.
Studies keep showing that complex carbohydrates you'll find in whole fruits, veggies, Legumes, and whole grains are anything but inflammatory. They're actually anti-inflammatory. But we rely on our gut microbiome to process them, and if there's damage to the gut then it's also impaired in carbohydrate processing, which leads to digestive distress. That's not inflammation, that's just sloppy processing. It doesn't hurt you beyond the acute symptoms. But what does hurt you is the effect that you see from animal product consumption, less short chain fatty acids producing good bacteria, more inflammatory bacteria, increased intestinal permeability, release of bacterial endotoxin, creation of carcinogenic secondary bile salts/polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons/N-nitroso compounds/heterocyclic aromatic amines and vascular disease- fueling TMAO. Yes, it is easier for our body to digest and process meat. We don't rely on our microbiome as much for that. So you may not feel any discomfort, but keep in mind what's happening inside you. Silent but deadly!.
The source of protein, whether from plants or animals, can have very different effects on the microbiome. For example, plant protein increases the growth of anti-inflammatory species like Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus while suppressing the destructive ones like Bacteroides Fragilis and Clostridium perfringens. The result is correction of leaky gut. On the flip side, diets high in animal protein have consistently been associated with increased growth of inflammatory microbes like Bilophila Wadsworthia, Alistips and Bacteroides. These bacteria produce toxins like amines, sulfides and secondary bile salts. Amines cause food sensitivity at baseline, and then when you char meat it turns them into carcinogenic heterocyclic amines. Hydrogen sulfide has been associated with ulcerative colitis. Secondary bile salts have been associated with cancer of the colon, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, liver, pancreas and biliary tract. No surprise, this consumption of animal protein results in increased intestinal permeability and inflammation!.
In a groundbreaking study by Dr's Lawrence David and Peter Turnbaugh, a group of people cycled between a completely plant based diet, which was rich in grains, Legumes fruits and vegetables, and a animal based diet, which was composed of meats, eggs and cheeses. This "animal based diet" could also be called the Keto diet, extremely low carb, very high fat. It could also be called the "carnivore diet" 100% animal products, no plants. There were dramatic changes of the studys participants in the microbiome in less than twenty four hours. It didn't take long. The animal based diet saw the disturbing emergence of inflammatory bacteria like Bilophila Wadsworthia, Alistips putredinis, and Bacteroides. This was expected with the high levels of saturated fat and animal protein. Remember, these are the bacteria that produce toxins like amines, sulfides and secondary bile salts. Meanwhile there was starvation and recession of the healing microbes like Roseburia, Eubacterium rectal, and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii. Simular to the Paleo diet, this is a shift away from health towards disease. Perhaps the most disturbing part is the rapid emergence of Bilophila Wadsworthia, known to produce hydrogen sulfide, which promotes inflammatory bowel disease. Its alarming to consider that in less than five days the foundation is being laid for the development of Crohns disease or Ulcerative Colitis with this diet.
I have re-started to sprouts cruciferous seeds because of your videos. More nutrients while a lot cheaper than the adult cruciferous.
And some taste better. Broccoli is one of the few vegetables I don’t like so I grow my own broccoli sprouts.
Can you tell us what canning and freezing and drying does to different vegetables and fruits!
Wonderful and helpful advice, Dr Berg. Love my raw salads and slightly sautéed or steamed veggies. Thank you 😊❤
Excellent. Enjoy there.
Thanks Doc!
I love sauerkraut!
Easy to make!
Fantastic!
Thank you kindly for this acknowledgement dr .
You're very welcome
Plant based diet does have lots of protein.
It all depends on what the recipe calls for now things like broccoli, cauliflower, and other different vegetables I can eat raw, but I would prefer to at least blanched him to get more of the vitamins and minerals out of them, and they be more tender to digest
