@@Icewing10 For me Maria its all about my mindset when I start you have to be right in your headspace BEFORE starting a new eating regime....First thing I do is stop eating after dinner thats where I have trouble eating watching TV before bed...With these sort of plans if you can make it to the end of week two usually you are good to go because your cravings seem to disappear just make sure to eat if you ever feel hungry dont starve yourself.
@@shadowbanned5164 Thank you! I started eating more meat. I am a snacker too, love love to snack on chips of all kinds instead of eating. Eating more meat has stopped me from going into the snack closet at work. I am still apprehensive with this diet. I have been brainwashed to think I will die of a heart attack from the meat or the fat.
@@Icewing10 Eating (snacks) is important the secret is to latch onto a snack that fits in with your plan but thats not something you would normally desire and you can have as many of as you like pretty much...With me I always had a few boiled eggs in the fridge or celery/carrot sticks which I would have with cottage cheese....Not something I would usually eat but they would fill a gap and more importantly fool my brain into thinking I had just had something I wasn't allowed lol
3 of his 7 are all varieties of a single species, which is all of the cruciferous veggies (Arugula, Bok choy, Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, Cabbage, Cauliflower, & Collard greens) are a single species that is a biennial crop, meaning if you harvest the top (stems & leaves above the crown) before winter, then keep the roots from freezing by protecting them beneath a pile of dry insulating leaves, the roots can sprout new plants again in the spring, though they might look like one of the other varieties of cruciferous veggies than the one you planted. All of these cruciferous veggies can also be preserved without refrigerator space by putting them in a shallow layer of water in a dish on a windowsill (south facing in N. hemisphere is best) after you buy them from the store and trim a sliver of the dried stem off of the bottom of the head of the cruciferous plant you purchased. As long as you change the water every couple of days so it stays clean and make sure that the bottom of the crown doesn't dry out, and the leaves are not immersed in the water, the plant will soon grow new roots from the bottom of the crown, and the leaves will get even greener and healthier than when you bought the plant. Then you can break off only the leaves you are ready to eat at each meal, and the rest of the plant will keep growing on your windowsill, and will keep making new baby leaves at the center from the diet of sunlight it gets. I've harvested about a head and a half of leaves from a head of cabbage or bok choy stretched out over a month or two without refrigerating it, and ended up with a sturdy set of roots that I can then plant in a garden to get a second harvest from the plant. All from an ordinary head of cabbage bought at any store, though you have to peel away all the damaged leaves (and cook and eat them) before you try to grow the head hydroponically on your windowsill.
You are smart and funny . You seem to really care what happens to people . I am shocked . Most doctors seem to just want the money and for the people to hurry and get out of their sight . I wish God made more people like you .
I was on a strict carnivore diet for 4 weeks and lost 10 lbs. I found it boring, but effective. I have added a few of these keto-friendly vegetables and it's a game changer for me! Thank you SO MUCH! You are a treasure trove of great information!!!🏆
@@asdf1991asdf my energy has increased and my skin and eyes are a lot healthier since I switched to ketogenic after doing carnivore diet for several months. I'm finding maintenance on keto plus taking Beef organ supplements and liver supplements is excellent for me. 😊
My mom's A1C was 5.5 and her doctor said that it was low and took her off her diabetes medication...You may want to explore that...A1C being low can be harmful too.
Dr Berry, you once mentioned that you had had GERD really bad. I was wondering if the fact that you seem to have to swallow a lot now like you're needing to clear your throat has anything to do with that.? Not trying to be rude at all here but it's pretty obvious that something is going on. I just wondered if that is a carryover from the condition you had once. But it's something I have noticed in most of your videos, that you seem to have to swallow a lot, almost like something is in your throat?
I love the fact that u mentioned wilted kale with bacon grease.. I grew up on wilted Lettuce, kale & or cabbage.. fresh greens hot bacon grease, raw onion and garden fresh tomatoes.. salt, pepper & garlic.. toss and serve salad.. Absolutely great taste with any meat, when affordable fried bacon was added along with the bacon grease. We only cooked with lard or bacon grease. Absolutely no sugar, however we did eat bean soup and fried potatoes & cornbread. Southern style. Just a side note... we did not snack in between meals, never! We never felt hungry.
All vegetables in the cruciferous family are good. Cabbage is the easiest and most versatile. I wish people who don't like specific foods would refrain from trying to bicker with people who do like them. We all have our own taste buds.
He’s right! I’ve lost 8 lbs in 4 weeks. I’m not jumping right with the high Cholesterol Fats because I’m going to wait on my next primary care blood test results. Keto is opposite of what we’ve been led to believe. Traditional carbs are OUT of the ball game. Blood pressure is down! This is amazing. Great video!
Once you get rolling with the weight loss it will fall off you but if you have a goal weight to reach YOU MUST BE AWARE THAT ALL THAT WEIGHT CAN GO STRAIGHT BACK ON!!!!!...Been there and its so easy to put it all back on and more!
There is no such thing as "high cholesterol fats". We have been lied to for decades about so much. Cholesterol is not the enemy, neither is saturated fat. We die without cholesterol, it is in every cell especially the brain. I highly recommend you look into the Cholesterol Myth, you will find out that ALL of the crap we've been told is based on zero good science. I really like the books by Dr. Malcolm Kendrick, Statin Nation is a great place to start. The epidemics of obesity, heart disease and type 2 diabetes are all connected, and carbs and sugar are the cause. The history of how cholesterol and saturated fats became demonized while massive amounts of carbs became the official recommended diet for western countries is insane.
We've all been duped for decades. I remember hearing nutritionists saying you should never fast or let yourself get hungry, because doing so makes your body "hold on" to fat so you can't lose weight. What a bunch of nonsense!
@@widehotep9257 Yep, I remember that as well. We also used to know that too many carbs made us fat. Semi-starvation diets destroy your metabolism so that your body needs less to function, making it so easy to regain the weight and then some, becoming a vicious cycle. Hello obesity epidemic. If you look at the history of the whole "cholesterol" will kill us, you find that Ancel Keys, the scientist who came up with this garbage, even said himself in the early '50's that dietary cholesterol does nothing to raise blood cholesterol. Yet by the late '80's and '90's the public had been put in a panic over eggs, and was throwing away the most nutritious thing we could eat. How the hell did that happen? Then the AHA finally removes their awful advice on eggs, but does it so quietly people are still throwing away yolks. Low salt is a lie, "5 a day" is nothing but a marketing slogan based on zero science, so-called "vegetable" oils are toxic to humans, and 3500 calories equals a pound is a lie. The damage done is a crime against humanity.
66 yr old, type 2 diabetes, 100iu insulin daily, 5'8 225lbs. Started 1/2hr exercise routine daily 1 month ago and started keto 2 weeks ago. I also got a Libre Freestyle glucose monitor and now can see my blood sugar level all the time including golf and garden work this tool works for me , I hated pricking my finger. Well point is I have lost 5lbs and reduced insulin requirements by 60%. My A1C level on last test 3 months ago was over 10, today test results were 7.5. I try to stay under 30carbs most days but once a week or so my favorite cheat is a potato patty at breakfast and piece of fruit evening snack. Also just discovering keto cooking other than standard veggies consisting of (bacon, onions, zucchini, and crookneck squash with almond sliver topping) . Your show is very inspiring to me and I will share my journey with you.
Just had some shredded cabbage with Avocado mayonnaise and it was delicious! Also cooked up some ground beef and pork and then put some cabbage in just before the meat was finished and it came out perfect. Loving this new way of eating because it is actually easier than cooking with carbs
Brussels sprouts are my absolute FAVORITE. And, my 5 and 7 year old boys gobble them up too! Our whole family is on Keto for long term health reasons, and my children now know what’s Keto and what’s not :) they know it’s for their health, and they LOVE it!
i actually did try keto first and i always feel sick, that is the reason why i switched to a different diet which is agoge diet, i have never felt better, not just that i feel great but i can see changes on me as well, it really helped me lose weight by still enjoying my meals
This MD improved my life immensely. I cannot thank him enough. I’m 58 and just lost 25lbs on the KETO diet. I listen to this man and now have no need for medications. I’m humbled by this man’s knowledge. He would be my Surgeon General if I were Prez. ✌️
One thing I love to make to take the place of salad dressing is Greek tziki sauce by chopping up garlic and cucumber and mix it in with whole, plain, Greek yogurt. Sometimes I also make my own mayo with eggs and olive oil then add the garlic and cucumber to that also and it's an excellent replacement for processed salad dressing. They're good on both veggies and meats.
This videos are sooooo helpful. I work on a psych unit and was attacked by a patient. He destroyed my entire humerus and broke my arm in 4 places.then the surgery ended in drop wrist.. I've been struggling with so many issues since my accident. From gaining weight from not being active to depression to healing. The vitamin D was a great video. I had mine checked and it was an 11 prior to the injury and with supplements over the past year is still only at a 25. Thanks for All your knowledge. As always knowledge is power 💪
Thank you so much for this video! I'm 36 and just recently found out I've got psoriasis. I've watched your other videos on psoriasis and you've convinced me of lifestyle changes I need to make to help me. I'm not a smoker or drinker but unhealthy eating is my downfall. Since watching your other videos I feel like I've hit my "rock bottom" in terms of health and I HAVE TO make a change. Thanks again.
when you are "rock bottom", there nowhere to go, but up !......get on it !.....some days are hard.....then they become easier....then, weight starts coming off !!!!! woohoo !
deborah gonzalez knight Whoever told you that is absolutely wrong. Keto is a high fat, moderate protein, low net carbs. Net carb being the most important aspect. That means you subtract the fiber content from the total carbs to find the net carbs. It’s easy to find these numbers on line but if you stay away from starchy sugary vegetables and nightshades you will be fine. Vegetables provide us with essential nutrients and minerals. You should avoid root vegetables like , potatoes and carrots because they have a high starch and sugar content but you should eat plenty of leafy greens and cooked cruciferous vegetables.
Listening to this while eating raw cucumbers with extra virgin olive oil and a bunch of indian spices. It is my fav dish so I was really glad to hear them mentioned in the video!! :)
Dr. Ken my biggest disapointment is knowing you after my health screwed up. I hope your keto advise will reverse my bad health situation. You are really GOD sent to help sheeple like me .❤❤❤😂😂
Dr. Berry, Thank you for your videos. I'm a Type 2 diabetic who was a carb glutton. Breads, bananas, pastas got my A1c raised to horrific level. Changed diet by ditching pasta and non-keto bread. Hated cucumbers but tried a new Greek salad recipe, now I love them. Hated Brussels sprouts bit tried them with bacon fat & garlic, love them. Using ACV daily also, Dropped 17lbs and A1C down nearly full point. Though I have more lbs to lose and A1C to contain, I know that I'll be able to get it off & keep it off! God bless.
Love that you tried new recipes-it makes all the difference! I didn't mind raw mushroom in a salad but hated them cooked-it was the texture. Then I minced them and I am fine,
Dean Ticks - Your weight and diabetes are controlled by BOTH "fasting and feasting". You should look to INTERMITTANT FASTING diet (see 16:8 - fast 16hrs feast 8hrs). Basically you both eat per day (once or twice) and push your body to fast also per day (typically by counting 16hrs from previous nites meal). Trust me it works like a charm - you will not feel hungry (after 1st three days) but by 4th day your body adjusts and suddenly you have a no hunger which (no distraction at all). Two advantages - weightless and reduction of insulin production (HB1AC) - your body literally resets and diabetes WILL reverse (not need managing) after weight loss. It worked for me and has for many - see vids by Jason Fung as introduction.
Thank you Dr. Have been binging on your videos. Please do some videos on what you like to cook. What you eat in a day. Stuff like that. My husband and I are trying to lower our blood sugars and it is so frustrating to hear “nutritionists” tell me to eat oatmeal. It makes me feel like garbage. So I started to ignore them and eat what my body was telling me to like eggs and veggies and steak. I was scolded and mocked. The ignorance being taught in medical school is harming people. Thank you for helping people.❤️
I have always liked brussels sprouts and asparagus. I found an AMAZING recipe for oven roasted brussel sprouts and asparagus that includes olive oil. It is soooo good that when my hubby smells them cooking, he gets a plate and stands by the stove WAITING for me to take them out of the oven.
Hi Dr. Berry, I'm 5'10" 280lbs. I viewed your Carnivore Diet Plan and loved it. I viewed this one and loved it even more because I love Butter and Vegetables. This has really opened up my window of opportunity to eat better and I am a real carnivore (LOL) I love some type of dead anima! I've been overweight most of my life and hooked on Carbohydrates so getting off of them will be a real challenge but I am totally tired of being fat and having sore joints. Thank you for this and I will share this with allot of my friends. I look forward to more of them.
Man, thank you!!! I've been buying mini frozen brussels sprouts, and I just steam or cook in a little water 5 minutes, and add slight bit of butter and lemon, and they are so good I can eat about 10 of them!!!! Need to eat more cabbage too. And all these veggies.
So glad to hear this! I love veggies, especially all those on your list! My mom was a good cook and always encouraged us as kids to eat our veggies! We never snubbed our noses at any vegetable, and grew as many as we could.
@@TebTengri there you GO!!!!....i eat a LOT of baby spinach salads with garlic stuffed olives....( and i hate garlic) and i make my OWN dressing from sour cream, a little ranch dressing - and Blue Cheese- all zero carbs and blue cheese has pro-biotics for your gut flora...and its great....walnuts are good on it too.... no kale though...
We were not made to eat vegetables. Eat some good fat and protein that's good enough. The reason you don't like veggies is because your body doesn't want it. Simple.
You do know you're a hero right? Jus sayin... low key hero worship goin on... and a huge multitude of thanks and gratitude. So appreciate your guidance Dr. ...and your constant source of down to earth encouragement and support.
Hi Dr. Berry -- Don't forget that avocados or guacamole can also be frozen to save money. Just buy a bunch when they're cheaper, cut in half, take the pit out and the peel off. What I do is then rub a little lemon juice on the halves to keep them from browning, then vacuu-pack them before sticking them in the freezer. It helps me have affordable avocado year round. If you don't have a vacuu-pack machine just use a freezer bag and get as much air out as you can before freezing. Bargain tubs of premade guacamole (check the label to make sure it's all real avocados, no gums or fillers) can also just be frozen.
Yep! Agree use tons of avocados in our kitchen, tons of greens also. Why did Dr. Berry leave out greens? He mentions kale but not spinach, arugula, Swiss chard, raw beets and beet greens, lettuces, parsley, mint, (many other herbs/greens), chilies and tomato free, , sweetener free hot sauces? OK he’s only referring to,fresh organic veggies here. Bacon fat is great but olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, are super for Keto weight loss, maintenance healthy diets. Also Siete brand grain free (cassava) chips & tortillas at Whole Foods.
@@zach4216 Only meal I don't have protein. I'll have a snack of almonds before or after. This meal is typically around 8:00-8:15, so it's light. Plenty of protein at breakfast, lunch and in between meals.
Bless you sir for all ofyour videos! I was recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. Your talks as I call them have brought so much clarity! Ready to fight and reverse this. Thank you!
I'm extremely sensitive to oxalates, I've found that a more carnivore way of eating has helped me immensely. I do eat some coconut flour and low oxalate veggies occasionally to keep gut flora happy.
I just watched your video on 11 sugary veggies. Thank you. My mom used to make asparagus soup from scratch. It was so tasty. I never paid attention to how she made it.
I love to make mashed Brussels sprouts. I steam them until they’re tender, then use a hand mixer to beat them with salt, butter and a bit of bacon grease. It’s so delicious! I love your use of ‘good’ repetitively before the noun❤❤. My grandmother was from Alabama and she said things like ‘good beans’, ‘good cheese’, ‘good roast’ etc, and I really missed hearing someone say since she passed in August 2021. Thank you unintentionally reminding me of that speech pattern that is so endearing to me. ❤❤
*It's great to learn about the variety of vegetables that are not only nutritious but also fit perfectly into a keto lifestyle. Thanks for sharing these fantastic options* 🙂
Today I learned to make a dish I love. Took a Tilapia Fillet dipped it in egg and coated it with some almond flour, little garlic and onion power, with some sea salt. Then lightly fried it in some olive oil. It made a nice crunch crust. I then lightly cooked some asparagus in some butter and put the extra butter over the fish. It was amazing! Next I am going to try making a Brussels Spout Au gratin Keto recipe. You can really make some great food on this diet. It is weird but I am really getting to the point now where I crave the good fats and have no interest in carbs.
That is amazing! Great Job! I am on my 2nd week and this is truly the best diet I have ever been on. It is easy to follow keto! Most of these foods are delicious to me. And the snack you just mentioned is a great idea.
I'am happy to know that brussel sprout, asparagus, broccoli and cucumbers are good keto vegetables, as are the ones I preferre so I must not give up to vegetables. I like also olives and olive oil. Thank you very much😍.
Lemon pepper is my go-to seasoning for my veggies. One thing I noticed regarding BrusselS sprouts is that I prefer the frozen ones instead of fresh. Alao, I don't know if they're low-carb, but I like eating canned green beans straight out of the can with lemon pepper. Re: olives, you can roast olives too! Yummy!!!
Mushrooms have a 1/3 of the carbs that Kale has btw ( and closed cup mushrooms have 0.4g of carbs per 100g!). Mushrooms are very keto friendly. Shroom up!
2/28/21. I just started watching your channel and this golden oldie popped up this morning. Today is my first day of ketovore and one of my questions was about celery so I’m glad to hear that it can still be my bedtime snack. Keep up the great work Dr Berry and I’ll learn and adapt with you
"A vegetable straight from the Lord!" How can you not rejoice?!?! Trader Joe's has a Cruciferous Salad mix that is truly wonderful! Add some cucumber to that with your favorite dressing! Yumminess!
Hey Doc! Such a plethora of good diet, healthy eating, and natural vitamins found in vegies! Thanks for the enlightenment! And Praise The Lord, Brother! Amen!
I have something to confuse. I’ve been on the keto diet for 5 weeks. I’ve lost 19 lbs so far. I started at 319. I have watched a ton of videos on keto stuff. I have passed over your videos so many times and never stopped by. I’m here to tell you I have been missing out. I really enjoyed this video. Your personality is great. You seem like a awesome guy. You definitely got a new sub from me and can’t wait to watch some more of your videos. Take care.
Backwoods Raised ...I was 307 lbs had a grastric sleeve surgery 2.5 yrs ago down over 100 lbs today I try to eat low fat high protein ..lot of chicken turkey burgers egg Omlets with low fat cream cheese and greated cheese ...no high futruce corn suryp for ketsup...cut out all hight future corn syrup that stuff is poison
Only “need” to lose about 20-30 lbs to reach high school,weight of 95 lbs. Following Dr. Gundry diet so no cucumbers but everything else on this list is big on our diet (yes, I’ve already retrained the palettes of family members). Paleo is not a problem. Obtain grass-fed beef, range free chicken, and wild caught seafood without Issue. My gut microbiome appears to have re-established itself with help of diet and proper supplements carefully researched.
I have been doing a mix of Keto and just clean eating. I was diagnosed with diabetes last month at the age of 40, it was a scare! I have gone from 258 to 240.8 as of yesterday. I am soooo close to the 230's and I am so motivated to continue this journey! It is videos like this that help me be successful in this journey to a healthier me!
For me the biggest surprise was when I started using either butter or bacon grease and sauteed "coleslaw". I hardly ever ate coleslaw (mostly green cabbage with a very small amount of shredded carrot) because it was too rough to eat but sauteeing ...... gosh, what a change. It suddenly became very sweet and easy to eat. I usually add a small amount of chicken or beef and it is delicious! I have it for lunch 3-4 times per week.
Working my way through your videos. Superb! Day one for me - 230 pound natural bodybuilder with high blood pressure. Aim is to get lean and ripped at 185 and reduce my blood pressure naturally.
Cabbage makes an excellent hamburger wrap. Just rinse the leaves a bit to get any sand off of them, shake the extra water off (not all of it), and stick them in the toaster oven for a couple of minutes to soften them up just enough that they won't crack. A lot of people do lettuce wraps, but cabbage is sturdier and tastier, IMO. It's also excellent boiled: cook some garlic and onion in bacon grease (or your fat of choice. Heck, cut up some bacon and throw it in there), deglaze with a bit of apple cider vinegar, put in your cabbage and seasoning (I like salt, pepper, and ground cumin), fill with enough water to reach most of the way up the cabbage (cooking for myself, this is usually a cup), cover and cook for about 12 minutes. Pour that in your bowl and top it with cheese. Drink the pot liqueur! And if you decide to grow cucumbers, get a pot big enough to can in and make some pickles! I make a brine with a good portion of ACV and pack the pickles with dill and a couple garlic cloves. Great to put on those burgers wrapped in cabbage.
I'm gonna have to try the cabbage wrap for my burger....that sounds delicious! I absolutely LOVE cabbage, and will eat it just about any way you can prepare it.
@@carolynmerritt7100 It doesn't work like that, Ms. Carolyn, despite the lies the food industry told us for decades. You'll likely suffer more arterial problems from processed vegetable oils and low fat margarine, and certainly from sugars and starches.
@@carolynmerritt7100 That's what I use to think but I have been training myself to rethink what we have always been told. I'm just starting this diet and it can be a bit confusing. I find listening to Dr, Ken Berry is the best.
@lajollaocn When your body gets leaner and you lose lots of inflammation etc, you stop missing them! You have to make it about what you GET to eat, not what you can't.
Thank you! I love every single one of the vegetables you listed. My mother used to drizzle hot bacon grease over freshly picked salad greens with a little vinegar. It was incredible. A very fond memory.
@@Rvan61 My Granny used to make a bowl of sliced tomato and onion, salt and pepper, cover with brown vinegar, and marinate in the fridge. Delicious with a salad.
Great video. I enjoy all your information you give us. I was the same with olives. Once I got all the sugar out of my diet and eating healthy olives tasted great. I found good olives with pits or seed have a better test. Just sharing what I found. Thanks Matt.
Would love for Neisha (and Dr. Berry!) to do more cooking videos. I feel like I’m relearning how to cook basic food sometimes, and Neisha’s videos have helped.
Very good video. My favorite is the cabbage hands down. I’m a country girl who loves her cabbage and cornbread. But now I just enjoy the cabbage with out the bread.
I have found you today but the benefits I got from is a way much more expensive than 10 years back Thank you so much for being transparent with human kind ❤ 💕
Dr. Berry, thank God I discovered you. You are sooo funny too. Great sense of humor! Thank you for all these very good videos on how to live life at its healtiest peak. You are truly a gift to all of us. I am diabetic and just started IF two weeks ago. I'll let you know my progress as the days, weeks and months pass by. g
Brussels Sprouts in tons of butter and garlic until almost mush. Use a sauce pan with lid on low for as long as you can wait. Also broiled, halved, basted in butter and salt.
I've always craved every food on this list. As a kid, I'd make a salad of just bacon bits, ranch, and olives. I love kale & raw nuts. I crave "pot liquor". I think I just realized that I'm just built for keto.
I just Love olives myself. All kinds, and I could just gorge myself on them all day. I would have added spinach to this list; extremely versatile and palatable! Healthy too. 😊♥️
The caveat you wrote in the description is really interesting, and i'm finding for me personally there's a lot of truth to the ancestral/dna thing with relation to what we should eat. But that's a very tricky situation when you're a very mixed race person, like me - Celtic Caucasian with African/South Asian/South American/Oceania. I have tried and failed with carnivore twice, it simply doesn't make me feel good after a while, makes me feel very 'heavy' and I really started to crave low carb plants and nuts. When I go back to upping the low carb veg I feel so much better and my body seems to respond better. I don't seem to have any issue with low carb veg or nuts. Thus I find I have to lighten the load with meat and have more of a plant centric keto diet. It's trial and error big time for highly mixed races. So, for anyone who may be in a similar boat, this is something to consider. And thank you for providing this info Dr Berry!
This is true, we all have to do trials and errors to see what best works for ourselves. I'm 94.8%african dna (nomads) and still have to have some veggies and nuts.
Omg yes me too! I'm Polynesian/Japanese/Roma ("Gypsy") and so I've always needed more salt than the average American, because both my Polynesian and Japanese ancestors had lots of salty seafood in their diets. But there's such a push for low-salt foods here, I never knew that until I began to experiment with how food makes me FEEL. Whereas a friend of mine, whose ancestors lived far from the sea, thrives on a much lower-salt diet than I do. I think there's never going to be one way of eating that's right for everyone, because we each have different inherited physiology. . .
Thanks! I’m doing intermittent fasting and at about week two I dropped the carbs. The weight is melting off! I’m still learning so I appreciate your videos.

3 of his 7 are all varieties of a single species, which is all of the cruciferous veggies (Arugula, Bok choy, Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, Cabbage, Cauliflower, & Collard greens) are a single species that is a biennial crop, meaning if you harvest the top (stems & leaves above the crown) before winter, then keep the roots from freezing by protecting them beneath a pile of dry insulating leaves, the roots can sprout new plants again in the spring, though they might look like one of the other varieties of cruciferous veggies than the one you planted. All of these cruciferous veggies can also be preserved without refrigerator space by putting them in a shallow layer of water in a dish on a windowsill (south facing in N. hemisphere is best) after you buy them from the store and trim a sliver of the dried stem off of the bottom of the head of the cruciferous plant you purchased. As long as you change the water every couple of days so it stays clean and make sure that the bottom of the crown doesn't dry out, and the leaves are not immersed in the water, the plant will soon grow new roots from the bottom of the crown, and the leaves will get even greener and healthier than when you bought the plant. Then you can break off only the leaves you are ready to eat at each meal, and the rest of the plant will keep growing on your windowsill, and will keep making new baby leaves at the center from the diet of sunlight it gets. I've harvested about a head and a half of leaves from a head of cabbage or bok choy stretched out over a month or two without refrigerating it, and ended up with a sturdy set of roots that I can then plant in a garden to get a second harvest from the plant. All from an ordinary head of cabbage bought at any store, though you have to peel away all the damaged leaves (and cook and eat them) before you try to grow the head hydroponically on your windowsill.

Fry cabbage in butter, season with salt & pepper. Fry bacon & mix with cabbage. I love this!!!!!
Yum me to
I do this with pink Himalayan salt 🥰 so yummy
tastes so good with bacon grease or chicken fat
I do that with my brussel sprouts too!
Add carroway seeds when you fry the cabbage. Takes it to a whole new level! Trust me :D

God made us all with the potential to be like this.❤
Many people have allowed the enemy (Satan) to steal their joy and kindness.
You gotta be one of the most down to Earth Doc's on the internet. Thanks for all of your help !
I was on a strict carnivore diet for 4 weeks and lost 10 lbs. I found it boring, but effective. I have added a few of these keto-friendly vegetables and it's a game changer for me! Thank you SO MUCH! You are a treasure trove of great information!!!🏆
What advantages have you found from adding vegetables to carnivore diet? Just curious as I'm seeing if it will help with low energy etc.
@@asdf1991asdf my energy has increased and my skin and eyes are a lot healthier since I switched to ketogenic after doing carnivore diet for several months.
I'm finding maintenance on keto plus taking Beef organ supplements and liver supplements is excellent for me. 😊
God bless this southern doctor! ❤
Nashville's not southern (-:
Ken, Thank you so much. I have learned so much from you. I am down 45 lbs because of keto. A1C has gone from 10.5 to 4.5.
Congrats on a FANTASTIC A1C :D
My mom's A1C was 5.5 and her doctor said that it was low and took her off her diabetes medication...You may want to explore that...A1C being low can be harmful too.
G. G the normal range for a healthy A1C is 4.5 - 5.5. Are you sure about that???
P. Lee Spears what tips can you give someone new to Keto lifestyle? I have to get my A1c down
Wow, that's amazing!
Doctor, you’re a good human being. People like you make the difference in these life. God bless you and your family. Greetings from Brazil
Dr Berry, you once mentioned that you had had GERD really bad. I was wondering if the fact that you seem to have to swallow a lot now like you're needing to clear your throat has anything to do with that.? Not trying to be rude at all here but it's pretty obvious that something is going on. I just wondered if that is a carryover from the condition you had once.
But it's something I have noticed in most of your videos, that you seem to have to swallow a lot, almost like something is in your throat?
Nice comment, God bless you too.
I love the fact that u mentioned wilted kale with bacon grease.. I grew up on wilted Lettuce, kale & or cabbage.. fresh greens hot bacon grease, raw onion and garden fresh tomatoes.. salt, pepper & garlic.. toss and serve salad.. Absolutely great taste with any meat, when affordable fried bacon was added along with the bacon grease. We only cooked with lard or bacon grease. Absolutely no sugar, however we did eat bean soup and fried potatoes & cornbread. Southern style. Just a side note... we did not snack in between meals, never! We never felt hungry.
Is that ketogenic potatoes, ketogenic tomatoes, ketogenic cornbread. Bless you. We will have a ketogenic blue zone next……
You had me at, "cabbage, a vegetable straight from the Lord."
Yes! I just subscribed today and was happy to hear that phrase.
Prove it
IKR!!!
Debra Smith prove it? It’s been proven, it’s good for us!
All vegetables in the cruciferous family are good. Cabbage is the easiest and most versatile.
I wish people who don't like specific foods would refrain from trying to bicker with people who do like them.
We all have our own taste buds.
He’s right! I’ve lost 8 lbs in 4 weeks.
I’m not jumping right with the high Cholesterol Fats because I’m going to wait on my next primary care blood test results. Keto is opposite of what we’ve been led to believe. Traditional carbs are OUT of the ball game. Blood pressure is down! This is amazing. Great video!
I am so happy for you.
Once you get rolling with the weight loss it will fall off you but if you have a goal weight to reach YOU MUST BE AWARE THAT ALL THAT WEIGHT CAN GO STRAIGHT BACK ON!!!!!...Been there and its so easy to put it all back on and more!
There is no such thing as "high cholesterol fats". We have been lied to for decades about so much. Cholesterol is not the enemy, neither is saturated fat. We die without cholesterol, it is in every cell especially the brain. I highly recommend you look into the Cholesterol Myth, you will find out that ALL of the crap we've been told is based on zero good science. I really like the books by Dr. Malcolm Kendrick, Statin Nation is a great place to start. The epidemics of obesity, heart disease and type 2 diabetes are all connected, and carbs and sugar are the cause. The history of how cholesterol and saturated fats became demonized while massive amounts of carbs became the official recommended diet for western countries is insane.
We've all been duped for decades. I remember hearing nutritionists saying you should never fast or let yourself get hungry, because doing so makes your body "hold on" to fat so you can't lose weight. What a bunch of nonsense!
@@widehotep9257 Yep, I remember that as well. We also used to know that too many carbs made us fat. Semi-starvation diets destroy your metabolism so that your body needs less to function, making it so easy to regain the weight and then some, becoming a vicious cycle. Hello obesity epidemic. If you look at the history of the whole "cholesterol" will kill us, you find that Ancel Keys, the scientist who came up with this garbage, even said himself in the early '50's that dietary cholesterol does nothing to raise blood cholesterol. Yet by the late '80's and '90's the public had been put in a panic over eggs, and was throwing away the most nutritious thing we could eat. How the hell did that happen? Then the AHA finally removes their awful advice on eggs, but does it so quietly people are still throwing away yolks. Low salt is a lie, "5 a day" is nothing but a marketing slogan based on zero science, so-called "vegetable" oils are toxic to humans, and 3500 calories equals a pound is a lie. The damage done is a crime against humanity.
When Dr B says “I personally like to heat up some bacon grease”..i knew this was the guy to listen to 🥓 ♥️
Good southern cooking
Lol! Right!
Can I use store bought bacon grease
fry brussels + smoked bacon = good side dish or a meal
@@Unknown-jl7mg Definitely. On occasion, I will also toss in a few eggs, scrambled or fried. Complete meal and very filling.
66 yr old, type 2 diabetes, 100iu insulin daily, 5'8 225lbs. Started 1/2hr exercise routine daily 1 month ago and started keto 2 weeks ago. I also got a Libre Freestyle glucose monitor and now can see my blood sugar level all the time including golf and garden work this tool works for me , I hated pricking my finger. Well point is I have lost 5lbs and reduced insulin requirements by 60%. My A1C level on last test 3 months ago was over 10, today test results were 7.5. I try to stay under 30carbs most days but once a week or so my favorite cheat is a potato patty at breakfast and piece of fruit evening snack. Also just discovering keto cooking other than standard veggies consisting of (bacon, onions, zucchini, and crookneck squash with almond sliver topping) . Your show is very inspiring to me and I will share my journey with you.
Thank you DR . Berry Im 390 lbs. and Im trying my Best ..
How are you doing?
Just had some shredded cabbage with Avocado mayonnaise and it was delicious! Also cooked up some ground beef and pork and then put some cabbage in just before the meat was finished and it came out perfect. Loving this new way of eating because it is actually easier than cooking with carbs
Brussels sprouts are my absolute FAVORITE. And, my 5 and 7 year old boys gobble them up too! Our whole family is on Keto for long term health reasons, and my children now know what’s Keto and what’s not :) they know it’s for their health, and they LOVE it!
i actually did try keto first and i always feel sick, that is the reason why i switched to a different diet which is agoge diet, i have never felt better, not just that i feel great but i can see changes on me as well, it really helped me lose weight by still enjoying my meals
If you can moderate your carbs then its a great diet.
This MD improved my life immensely. I cannot thank him enough. I’m 58 and just lost 25lbs on the KETO diet. I listen to this man and now have no need for medications. I’m humbled by this man’s knowledge. He would be my Surgeon General if I were Prez. ✌️
Wonderful news happy for you
Sis P Chronicles AB Tnx, Sis
One thing I love to make to take the place of salad dressing is Greek tziki sauce by chopping up garlic and cucumber and mix it in with whole, plain, Greek yogurt. Sometimes I also make my own mayo with eggs and olive oil then add the garlic and cucumber to that also and it's an excellent replacement for processed salad dressing. They're good on both veggies and meats.
Just make a pork roast then put x2 chopped up cabbage into slow cooker with roast drippings and slow cooked 2-3 hrs. OMGosh...PHENOMINAL
I finely grate cabbage and carrots and mix it with my ground beef or pork and cook it. It tastes good.
This videos are sooooo helpful. I work on a psych unit and was attacked by a patient. He destroyed my entire humerus and broke my arm in 4 places.then the surgery ended in drop wrist.. I've been struggling with so many issues since my accident. From gaining weight from not being active to depression to healing. The vitamin D was a great video. I had mine checked and it was an 11 prior to the injury and with supplements over the past year is still only at a 25. Thanks for All your knowledge. As always knowledge is power 💪
Thank you so much for this video! I'm 36 and just recently found out I've got psoriasis. I've watched your other videos on psoriasis and you've convinced me of lifestyle changes I need to make to help me. I'm not a smoker or drinker but unhealthy eating is my downfall. Since watching your other videos I feel like I've hit my "rock bottom" in terms of health and I HAVE TO make a change. Thanks again.
Brian, how is the psoriasis?
when you are "rock bottom", there nowhere to go, but up !......get on it !.....some days are hard.....then they become easier....then, weight starts coming off !!!!! woohoo !
Changing your diet can definitely positively change certain skin conditions
Take ivermectin. Get rid of the parasites in your body and your psoriasis will disappear. Guaranteed.
Hey Brian, did it help with your psoriasis? Update us please
I just started keto and was told I can't have much veg, I love veg, so this has really encouraged me
deborah gonzalez knight
Whoever told you that is absolutely wrong. Keto is a high fat, moderate protein, low net carbs. Net carb being the most important aspect. That means you subtract the fiber content from the total carbs to find the net carbs. It’s easy to find these numbers on line but if you stay away from starchy sugary vegetables and nightshades you will be fine. Vegetables provide us with essential nutrients and minerals. You should avoid root vegetables like , potatoes and carrots because they have a high starch and sugar content but you should eat plenty of leafy greens and cooked cruciferous vegetables.
Are you sitting in a rocking chair, doc?
Just going from full carnivore to keto, this suits me much better, and thanks for all that veg info.
Good lord, I thought I was eating too much cabbage because I've been making pad thai with cabbage as noodles and you have just MADE my day.
Great idea !! 🐕
That is genius!
Pad thai
SHUT the front door! Yes yes yes!!!!!!
Butter, salt, & bacon grease makes any veggie delectable.
Listening to this while eating raw cucumbers with extra virgin olive oil and a bunch of indian spices. It is my fav dish so I was really glad to hear them mentioned in the video!! :)
Dr. Ken my biggest disapointment is knowing you after my health screwed up.
I hope your keto advise will reverse my bad health situation.
You are really GOD sent to help sheeple like me .❤❤❤😂😂
Dr. Berry, Thank you for your videos. I'm a Type 2 diabetic who was a carb glutton. Breads, bananas, pastas got my A1c raised to horrific level. Changed diet by ditching pasta and non-keto bread. Hated cucumbers but tried a new Greek salad recipe, now I love them. Hated Brussels sprouts bit tried them with bacon fat & garlic, love them. Using ACV daily also, Dropped 17lbs and A1C down nearly full point. Though I have more lbs to lose and A1C to contain, I know that I'll be able to get it off & keep it off! God bless.
I keep hearing different things about bananas, are they good or bad?
I would love to get some of your receipts to help my ArC come down also.
Love that you tried new recipes-it makes all the difference! I didn't mind raw mushroom in a salad but hated them cooked-it was the texture. Then I minced them and I am fine,
Dean Ticks - Your weight and diabetes are controlled by BOTH "fasting and feasting". You should look to INTERMITTANT FASTING diet (see 16:8 - fast 16hrs feast 8hrs). Basically you both eat per day (once or twice) and push your body to fast also per day (typically by counting 16hrs from previous nites meal). Trust me it works like a charm - you will not feel hungry (after 1st three days) but by 4th day your body adjusts and suddenly you have a no hunger which (no distraction at all). Two advantages - weightless and reduction of insulin production (HB1AC) - your body literally resets and diabetes WILL reverse (not need managing) after weight loss. It worked for me and has for many - see vids by Jason Fung as introduction.
Congrats Dean wtg
Glad to hear about cabbage. Sliced thin and steamed just until al dente, it’s sweet and delicious!
Thank you Dr. Have been binging on your videos. Please do some videos on what you like to cook. What you eat in a day. Stuff like that. My husband and I are trying to lower our blood sugars and it is so frustrating to hear “nutritionists” tell me to eat oatmeal. It makes me feel like garbage. So I started to ignore them and eat what my body was telling me to like eggs and veggies and steak. I was scolded and mocked. The ignorance being taught in medical school is harming people. Thank you for helping people.❤️
Wow, this video was 5 years ago Dr Berry looks healthier now in 2023 than he did on Keto! Kaazah!
Sauteed vegetables, with a squeeze of lemon, and it helps your body utilise iron in veg! Thanks for this list. Needed a refresher.
i do that and add mayo ;)
@@Lloydy786 >kip moo
I LOVE all the veggies you mentioned! Glad to know I can eat vegetables and still be keto-compliant.
I have always liked brussels sprouts and asparagus. I found an AMAZING recipe for oven roasted brussel sprouts and asparagus that includes olive oil. It is soooo good that when my hubby smells them cooking, he gets a plate and stands by the stove WAITING for me to take them out of the oven.
Tracy Nash 😆😆😆. That was funny to read!
Tracy, can you share the recipe?
Hi Dr. Berry, I'm 5'10" 280lbs. I viewed your Carnivore Diet Plan and loved it. I viewed this one and loved it even more because I love Butter and Vegetables. This has really opened up my window of opportunity to eat better and I am a real carnivore (LOL) I love some type of dead anima! I've been overweight most of my life and hooked on Carbohydrates so getting off of them will be a real challenge but I am totally tired of being fat and having sore joints. Thank you for this and I will share this with allot of my friends. I look forward to more of them.
I like all those . I’m starting keto & am just learning about the things I can & cannot eat I really appreciate this channel 👍🏻
Man, thank you!!! I've been buying mini frozen brussels sprouts, and I just steam or cook in a little water 5 minutes, and add slight bit of butter and lemon, and they are so good I can eat about 10 of them!!!! Need to eat more cabbage too. And all these veggies.
So glad to hear this! I love veggies, especially all those on your list! My mom was a good cook and always encouraged us as kids to eat our veggies! We never snubbed our noses at any vegetable, and grew as many as we could.
Stir fry cabbage with some slices of pepperoni. You’ll love it!
Southern evangelical roots showing, "Please, help me spread the message." haha. good stuff. will do.
Fugg. Gonna have to man up and find ways to like veggies after 40 years.
Pray for me 🤣
you can DO it.....i felt the same way....now i CRAVE this stuff....except Kale....no cravings for kale....yet...
@@edwhite7475 just had spinach with heavy cream and some shredded cheddar
@@TebTengri there you GO!!!!....i eat a LOT of baby spinach salads with garlic stuffed olives....( and i hate garlic) and i make my OWN dressing from sour cream, a little ranch dressing - and Blue Cheese- all zero carbs and blue cheese has pro-biotics for your gut flora...and its great....walnuts are good on it too....
no kale though...
You can retrain your tastebuds I promise. To begim, chop then pretty small, cook them with the meat, add garlic, butter, pepper flakes and salt...
We were not made to eat vegetables. Eat some good fat and protein that's good enough. The reason you don't like veggies is because your body doesn't want it. Simple.
Doctor, just keep on being you, even the rocking back and forth. I love it.
You do know you're a hero right? Jus sayin... low key hero worship goin on... and a huge multitude of thanks and gratitude.
So appreciate your guidance Dr. ...and your constant source of down to earth encouragement and support.
Hi Dr. Berry -- Don't forget that avocados or guacamole can also be frozen to save money. Just buy a bunch when they're cheaper, cut in half, take the pit out and the peel off. What I do is then rub a little lemon juice on the halves to keep them from browning, then vacuu-pack them before sticking them in the freezer. It helps me have affordable avocado year round. If you don't have a vacuu-pack machine just use a freezer bag and get as much air out as you can before freezing. Bargain tubs of premade guacamole (check the label to make sure it's all real avocados, no gums or fillers) can also just be frozen.
Thanks for the tip!
Yep! Agree use tons of avocados in our kitchen, tons of greens also. Why did Dr. Berry leave out greens? He mentions kale but not spinach, arugula, Swiss chard, raw beets and beet greens, lettuces, parsley, mint, (many other herbs/greens), chilies and tomato free, , sweetener free hot sauces? OK he’s only referring to,fresh organic veggies here. Bacon fat is great but olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, are super for Keto weight loss, maintenance healthy diets. Also Siete brand grain free (cassava) chips & tortillas at Whole Foods.
Too many carbs in the cassava chips and tortillas for keto diets.
Seeing as avacado is a fruit, it wasn’t listed on the veggie list.
But your comments on avocado rock👌👍
Tessa Loera I enjoyed her comment also. I absolutely love avocados.
Our Monday-Thursday dinner is grilled asparagus, cabbage, Brussels Sprouts, Broccoli, Cauliflower and onions lightly mixed in olive oil, pepper and garlic powder
No protein?
@@zach4216 Only meal I don't have protein. I'll have a snack of almonds before or after.
This meal is typically around 8:00-8:15, so it's light.
Plenty of protein at breakfast, lunch and in between meals.
You're the best doc ever thank you for caring, wish you were my doctor xxx
So grateful for your channel. I'm on day 8 of keto. Coming out of the fog 😀 the goal is to heal Hashimotos
Bless you sir for all ofyour videos! I was recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. Your talks as I call them have brought so much clarity! Ready to fight and reverse this. Thank you!
I'm extremely sensitive to oxalates, I've found that a more carnivore way of eating has helped me immensely. I do eat some coconut flour and low oxalate veggies occasionally to keep gut flora happy.
I just watched your video on 11 sugary veggies. Thank you. My mom used to make asparagus soup from scratch. It was so tasty. I never paid attention to how she made it.
I love to make mashed Brussels sprouts. I steam them until they’re tender, then use a hand mixer to beat them with salt, butter and a bit of bacon grease. It’s so delicious!
I love your use of ‘good’ repetitively before the noun❤❤. My grandmother was from Alabama and she said things like ‘good beans’, ‘good cheese’, ‘good roast’ etc, and I really missed hearing someone say since she passed in August 2021. Thank you unintentionally reminding me of that speech pattern that is so endearing to me. ❤❤
Bug poop? Lol I LOVE veggies! Thank God my mom taught me early in my life n i just cant live without them!
*It's great to learn about the variety of vegetables that are not only nutritious but also fit perfectly into a keto lifestyle. Thanks for sharing these fantastic options* 🙂
Pretty sure Dr. Berry no longers promotes veggies of any kind.
Today I learned to make a dish I love. Took a Tilapia Fillet dipped it in egg and coated it with some almond flour, little garlic and onion power, with some sea salt. Then lightly fried it in some olive oil. It made a nice crunch crust. I then lightly cooked some asparagus in some butter and put the extra butter over the fish. It was amazing!
Next I am going to try making a Brussels Spout Au gratin Keto recipe. You can really make some great food on this diet. It is weird but I am really getting to the point now where I crave the good fats and have no interest in carbs.
FrugalPrepper's Garage & Garden Hi, try chopping some almonds fine add that to the almond flour and ooo more crunchy
FrugalPrepper's Garage & Garden a
FrugalPrepper's Garage & Garde
I had to stop eating Tilapia I heard it was very bad for you because of the way they are raised. Does anyone know if this true??
Never cook with olive oil!
Dr. Ken, you are saving my life! My daughters and I thank you!!!!
I just lost 55lbs. My main snacks are pickles and pitted olives. Yum!
Megan Gertler, congratulations. I'm on day17 and need more willpower.
Megan - I think that's a good snack. I'll try it sometime.
Megan: what kind of olives? black or green? black don't seem as salty.
Congratulations that’s an Amazing accomplishment. Ps What kind of pickles do you have dill ?
That is amazing! Great Job! I am on my 2nd week and this is truly the best diet I have ever been on. It is easy to follow keto! Most of these foods are delicious to me. And the snack you just mentioned is a great idea.
You just told me all the veggies I love are great for keto! Doc, you’re my hero!
I'am happy to know that brussel sprout, asparagus, broccoli and cucumbers are good keto vegetables, as are the ones I preferre so I must not give up to vegetables.
I like also olives and olive oil. Thank you very much😍.
Lemon pepper is my go-to seasoning for my veggies. One thing I noticed regarding BrusselS sprouts is that I prefer the frozen ones instead of fresh. Alao, I don't know if they're low-carb, but I like eating canned green beans straight out of the can with lemon pepper.
Re: olives, you can roast olives too! Yummy!!!
Mushrooms have a 1/3 of the carbs that Kale has btw ( and closed cup mushrooms have 0.4g of carbs per 100g!). Mushrooms are very keto friendly. Shroom up!
Totally agree with you and I eat tons of mushrooms too.
I adore mushrooms!!!
Yes, but mushrooms are not vegetables (and not fruits either). They're a type of fungus, so they don't belong in this list! XD
Yup.. N great cream of mushroom soup!
@Weiner Schnitzel that's not a keto diet, that's a dirty low carb diet. Still better than a SAD diet.
2/28/21. I just started watching your channel and this golden oldie popped up this morning. Today is my first day of ketovore and one of my questions was about celery so I’m glad to hear that it can still be my bedtime snack.
Keep up the great work Dr Berry and I’ll learn and adapt with you
"A vegetable straight from the Lord!" How can you not rejoice?!?! Trader Joe's has a Cruciferous Salad mix that is truly wonderful! Add some cucumber to that with your favorite dressing! Yumminess!
And it is good cooked as well
I gotta look for it now! I have usually bought the "baby greens" pack
Hey Doc! Such a plethora of good diet, healthy eating, and natural vitamins found in vegies! Thanks for the enlightenment! And Praise The Lord, Brother! Amen!
I have something to confuse. I’ve been on the keto diet for 5 weeks. I’ve lost 19 lbs so far. I started at 319. I have watched a ton of videos on keto stuff. I have passed over your videos so many times and never stopped by. I’m here to tell you I have been missing out. I really enjoyed this video. Your personality is great. You seem like a awesome guy. You definitely got a new sub from me and can’t wait to watch some more of your videos. Take care.
Backwoods Raised ...I was 307 lbs had a grastric sleeve surgery 2.5 yrs ago down over 100 lbs today I try to eat low fat high protein ..lot of chicken turkey burgers egg Omlets with low fat cream cheese and greated cheese ...no high futruce corn suryp for ketsup...cut out all hight future corn syrup that stuff is poison
Only “need” to lose about 20-30 lbs to reach high school,weight of 95 lbs. Following Dr. Gundry diet so no cucumbers but everything else on this list is big on our diet (yes, I’ve already retrained the palettes of family members). Paleo is not a problem. Obtain grass-fed beef, range free chicken, and wild caught seafood without Issue. My gut microbiome appears to have re-established itself with help of diet and proper supplements carefully researched.
I have been doing a mix of Keto and just clean eating. I was diagnosed with diabetes last month at the age of 40, it was a scare! I have gone from 258 to 240.8 as of yesterday. I am soooo close to the 230's and I am so motivated to continue this journey! It is videos like this that help me be successful in this journey to a healthier me!
Good luck! I’m 71+ and just starting. I hope to lose about 50 pounds! I’m going to wish both of us luck!
For me the biggest surprise was when I started using either butter or bacon grease and sauteed "coleslaw". I hardly ever ate coleslaw (mostly green cabbage with a very small amount of shredded carrot) because it was too rough to eat but sauteeing ...... gosh, what a change. It suddenly became very sweet and easy to eat. I usually add a small amount of chicken or beef and it is delicious! I have it for lunch 3-4 times per week.
Butter, garlic and lemon juice on asparagus or broccoli. NUMMY.
Working my way through your videos. Superb! Day one for me - 230 pound natural bodybuilder with high blood pressure. Aim is to get lean and ripped at 185 and reduce my blood pressure naturally.
Someone from another video recommended your channel...so glad I found you. You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.
Quack.
BrusselS because it's named after the capital of Belgium, Brussels !
Kind regards from Belgium ^_^
Cabbage makes an excellent hamburger wrap. Just rinse the leaves a bit to get any sand off of them, shake the extra water off (not all of it), and stick them in the toaster oven for a couple of minutes to soften them up just enough that they won't crack.
A lot of people do lettuce wraps, but cabbage is sturdier and tastier, IMO.
It's also excellent boiled: cook some garlic and onion in bacon grease (or your fat of choice. Heck, cut up some bacon and throw it in there), deglaze with a bit of apple cider vinegar, put in your cabbage and seasoning (I like salt, pepper, and ground cumin), fill with enough water to reach most of the way up the cabbage (cooking for myself, this is usually a cup), cover and cook for about 12 minutes. Pour that in your bowl and top it with cheese. Drink the pot liqueur!
And if you decide to grow cucumbers, get a pot big enough to can in and make some pickles! I make a brine with a good portion of ACV and pack the pickles with dill and a couple garlic cloves. Great to put on those burgers wrapped in cabbage.
Thank you! I never though of using cabbage as burger wrap. I'm definitely going to try it!
I'm gonna have to try the cabbage wrap for my burger....that sounds delicious! I absolutely LOVE cabbage, and will eat it just about any way you can prepare it.
That is brilliant...thank you! I never thought of this...
ssholum Collards also make an awesome wrap. Steam them to get them soft. It only takes a few minutes.
Holy majoly! I just tried it and omg what a great idea, thank you! So yummy.
Yes! Love my veggies! Kale with bacon, salt & pepper is delicious 😋
Will give it a shot. I'm leary about so much bacon grease. When I see it at room temp I'm afraid for my arteries.
@@carolynmerritt7100 It doesn't work like that, Ms. Carolyn, despite the lies the food industry told us for decades. You'll likely suffer more arterial problems from processed vegetable oils and low fat margarine, and certainly from sugars and starches.
@@carolynmerritt7100 That's what I use to think but I have been training myself to rethink what we have always been told. I'm just starting this diet and it can be a bit confusing. I find listening to Dr, Ken Berry is the best.
I like the humour. After all, laughter is the best medicine
Loves my meat and veggies. My problem is staying away from rice, pasta, potatoes, and breads
I find that now that been on a ketogenic diet, I crave them less and I Am not hungry all the time.
Try keto bread
Potatoes are what kills me
@@darklausal23 same effect on me. I love eating veggies and not feeling bulky. And I cam last for 18 hours.
@lajollaocn When your body gets leaner and you lose lots of inflammation etc, you stop missing them! You have to make it about what you GET to eat, not what you can't.
Brussels sprouts in real butter and fresh garlic in hot pan, cook until outer leaves are crispy, Absolutely delicious.
God Bless You Dr. Berry!!! Thx for everything you do brother!!!
Thank you! I love every single one of the vegetables you listed. My mother used to drizzle hot bacon grease over freshly picked salad greens with a little vinegar. It was incredible. A very fond memory.
Had Grandma from Oklahoma made similar. called it "wilted lettuce". She added chunks of crispy bacon all over the top. Great Times and Great Food
Yes, love a little vinegar on the greens. So damn good.
Killed lettuce.
@@Rvan61 My Granny used to make a bowl of sliced tomato and onion, salt and pepper, cover with brown vinegar, and marinate in the fridge. Delicious with a salad.
Great video. I enjoy all your information you give us. I was the same with olives. Once I got all the sugar out of my diet and eating healthy olives tasted great. I found good olives with pits or seed have a better test. Just sharing what I found. Thanks Matt.
😅
Would love for Neisha (and Dr. Berry!) to do more cooking videos. I feel like I’m relearning how to cook basic food sometimes, and Neisha’s videos have helped.
Yes I like those as well.
Doctor You are 1 in a million!, God will reward you one day, thank you for teaching us how to eat healthy food, to be healthy😇👏👏👏
Very good video. My favorite is the cabbage hands down. I’m a country girl who loves her cabbage and cornbread. But now I just enjoy the cabbage with out the bread.
I'm just starting my diet and do I hate to give up cornbread. But cabbage and bacon will do.
I have found you today but the benefits I got from is a way much more expensive than 10 years back

Thanks for the list of veggies. 🙋♂️🥬🥦🥒🫑
Yes & i love them all!
Lucky me...love every single veg on this list. Thanks to our mom who made us try everything.❤️
I’m going to try the olive bar at Whole Foods. I haven’t liked olives my whole life but I want them for health. Maybe a different type will suit me. 🤞
Brussels Sprouts in tons of butter and garlic until almost mush. Use a sauce pan with lid on low for as long as you can wait. Also broiled, halved, basted in butter and salt.
I've always craved every food on this list. As a kid, I'd make a salad of just bacon bits, ranch, and olives. I love kale & raw nuts. I crave "pot liquor". I think I just realized that I'm just built for keto.
Thank you..loving keto so far lost 13 pounds week one...
I just Love olives myself. All kinds, and I could just gorge myself on them all day. I would have added spinach to this list; extremely versatile and palatable! Healthy too. 😊♥️
Super high in oxalates, and not the superfood we have been told. Sad, as I liked it too.
Going literally to the store now! Gonna pile up on veggies, which I love raw, but will cook in bacon grease! Yummy! 😋
Well timed video indeed, the olives made me real happy 😊. Thankyou Doctor for all your help because this is only help I get. Bless you
You just made me so happy lol I didn't know I could have cabbage .so I'm going to eat some boiled cabbage with my supper . Thank you so much
Thanks
The caveat you wrote in the description is really interesting, and i'm finding for me personally there's a lot of truth to the ancestral/dna thing with relation to what we should eat. But that's a very tricky situation when you're a very mixed race person, like me - Celtic Caucasian with African/South Asian/South American/Oceania. I have tried and failed with carnivore twice, it simply doesn't make me feel good after a while, makes me feel very 'heavy' and I really started to crave low carb plants and nuts. When I go back to upping the low carb veg I feel so much better and my body seems to respond better. I don't seem to have any issue with low carb veg or nuts. Thus I find I have to lighten the load with meat and have more of a plant centric keto diet. It's trial and error big time for highly mixed races. So, for anyone who may be in a similar boat, this is something to consider. And thank you for providing this info Dr Berry!
This is true, we all have to do trials and errors to see what best works for ourselves. I'm 94.8%african dna (nomads) and still have to have some veggies and nuts.
Omg yes me too! I'm Polynesian/Japanese/Roma ("Gypsy") and so I've always needed more salt than the average American, because both my Polynesian and Japanese ancestors had lots of salty seafood in their diets. But there's such a push for low-salt foods here, I never knew that until I began to experiment with how food makes me FEEL. Whereas a friend of mine, whose ancestors lived far from the sea, thrives on a much lower-salt diet than I do.
I think there's never going to be one way of eating that's right for everyone, because we each have different inherited physiology. . .
Thanks! I’m doing intermittent fasting and at about week two I dropped the carbs. The weight is melting off! I’m still learning so I appreciate your videos.
