Today I want to cover seven things that your face can tell you about what's happening internally with your health.
Looking at a person's face can give you so many clues about what's going on inside. To show you what I mean, we're going to take a look at my own face before and after getting on the keto diet and doing intermittent fasting.
7 things your face says about your health:
1. The shape of the face
If someone has a round face, they have too much insulin and consume too many carbs. I was also storing a lot of water because, with every gram of glucose stored as glycogen, three grams of water are stored.
2. The tissue around the eyes
Puffiness under the eyes is a good indication that the kidneys are backed up because of too much fluid retention.
3. The eyes
Bloodshot eyes can indicate a liver problem. This could also be due to a lack of sleep or a deficiency of vitamins B2 and B3. But, usually, it's a liver problem.
4. Under the chin
Fat under the chin is due to a spill-off of accumulated fat. This doesn't just affect how you look. It can cause certain issues like sleep apnea.
5. The texture of the skin
Oily skin can mean the person has a zinc deficiency. It could also mean they have high androgens due to high insulin.
6. Dry flaky skin
Dry, flaky skin could be due to a liver issue and/or too much omega-6 fatty acids. Cod liver oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and vitamin D. Because of this, cod liver oil may help with dry, flaky skin and oily skin.
7. Acne
Acne can come from high androgens, which is really too much insulin. Zinc and a change in diet (to Healthy keto) may be beneficial.

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps you better recognize certain health issues. Check out my other videos to learn more about Healthy Keto and fasting.
2 things I kept from this video:
1. Zinc helps everyone with everything
2. Carbohydrates seems to cause tons of problems
yes i take 3 vitamin c/zinc supplement everyday it boost my immune system😀
I’m just wondering if I can take zinc supplements
@@arnoldguisa4155 I cannot tell you for sure as I'm not a doctor but I generally recommend against any kind of supplements no matter how "safe" they are. Try to get what you need only from foods (and as less processed as possible). Of course, unless you have a condition and your doctor specifically told you that you MUST get supplements. Then, I guess you have no other choice (tho making your research and hearing a lot of professional opinions is a must in this case).
@@godnyx117 I agree with you. I take whole food supplements -- do you think that's different than chemically formed supplements?
@@sally1269 If they are extracted from food then they are probably fine (I'm saying "probably" because we don't know of the extraction methods). Tho, the real question is, do you trust them?
I suppose you ask because you care and you wait for a straight answer and not a question so if you ask me, I don't take any supplements and I try to take everything from food cause I don't trust literally anyone at this point...
My eye doctor told me my eyes went back to 20/20 after I lost weight and started eating right. Wow! And I’m over 60
I stopped sugar for four months lost 20 pounds. Started adding sugar again because I was traveling and wanted to drink coffee that would be otherwise undrinkable.
My face after one month is puffy again, I'm tired often and eat randomly because of sugar cravings. Starting my sugar free life again today. Thanks for the inspiration. It's never too late to start a life without sugar.
I honestly don't know what to eat other than chocolate
yeah, added sugar is the enemy (not fruit)
@@Black.Sabbath irony, I despise sugar so much. Always hated choclate. We are so different, humans.
This is actually good, you’ve grown more aware and less ignorant as to the precise nature of sugar’s activities in the body. Use your past experiences as a vector to push you away from sugar.
I was the same, heedlessly eating sugar. I would wake up hungry in the middle of the night, could never sit down for more than 1hr without then craving something carby to eat. I found it difficult to study, exercise and even socialize without having something sweet or carby to keep me happy. Until, laying under a bright light with the taste of latex in my mouth, the dentist told me I needed a root canal. Whilst it is upsetting I needed to get to that point to give it up, it was also the best thing that happened. I can now participate in life without needing sugar/carbs as a condition to do anything.
It’s evil stuff, rotting your skin, teeth, and mind from the inside out.
I had chicken skin at the back sides of my arms (triceps area) for about 40 years (since I can remember ). - I was told it's genetic, because my father's family all had that...
about 3 years ago I decided to give up diary... - milk, cheese (soft and hard, cottage mozzarella etc), yoghurts (even greek)...
it wasn't long before I noticed during shower that my skin became smooth... I was in shock 😲 my skin has NEVER been like that ever... but now it is 😁 I do eat small amounts of hard cheese occasionally and have a greek-kind yoghurt, but still not drinking milk or eating any soft cottage-like cheese...
even the skin on my legs got better, smoother... 😲😁
ps. and milk (if you look at the label) contains a lot of sugar... milk is quite sweet if you try it after a week without drinking... you'll be shocked how sweet the milk tastes...
Dr. Berg has the most honest face 😔 his manner in talking is calm precise not preachy & keeps it simple with a dry sense of humour the perfect doctor .
The first doctor ever who looks at the cause and not just treatment. Thank you Dr Berg, you’re a legend !
And what would be the cause of the hole in his right cheek, which he covered with a beard? 😏
Beautyful so are you
@@mirabilis7888 aging is still a thing
If only he had an actual Medical Doctor degree…
@@karagun778 seriously I read that in the disclaimer, no one ever points it out that the "Dr." is basically just a nickname (and also has the advantage of the giving his advice more weight).
Our son got acne at 14. My skin got clear after backing off carbs, I had him eat low carb & 2 times a day at most, cleared up in 2 weeks! It's not the grease on the pizza causing pimples... IT'S THE
CRUST!
I watched this today in my lunch break and I was laughing, because you literally described everything I have - and also gave me the solution. Thanks Dr. Berg, you are chaning lives for the better, and you have finally convinced me to basically completely quit carbs.
How is it going?
How’s it going, man?
Extremely informative and very interesting. I've always had blood shot eyes...now I know why...thank you...
After watching this I said to my wife... "Listen if you just change your diet ...."
That was the last thing i remember.

LOL

@@blueapple4044 - Too bad I am/was already doing it after I bought his book. When I see a person holding a sugary drink, I would look at their belly. 99% of the time their belly is bloated.
Had me dead!!! 😆😆😆😆😆
Dr. Berg is saying don’t come for me unless I send for you 🤣
Lmao
Following the healthy keto diet for the last 6 months has made me a new person. My only regret is i didn't start sooner. Now at 40 I have the clearest, softest, smoothest skin i have ever had in my life and i do nothing to it lol.The glowing complexion was such a nice bonus along with the mental clarity and 50lbs weight loss.

Now I just need to figure out how to halt weight loss as I am at my goal weight. I stopped IF and now eat when i feel the need but I feel very satiated and still loosing weight. I need to stay around 20 carbs a day to control a health issue so upping carbs is not my first choice. Anyone have a suggestion or recipe? Thanks!
@@hillarybanks1265 انجب
@@Drberg who are you if you not Dr.berg
@@hillarybanks1265 hello. Congratulations on your success. I’ve read from many experts that your body knows when you’re at your ideal body weight and will ‘level off’ at that point - with no change in your diet. Dr Ken Berry has several videos on that exact subject and he’s very knowledgeable on this topic.
Wow. You have so much valuable information to share with the world Dr. Berg. Thank you for making health available to everyone, all around the world, for free. Almost no one does that.
No problem. Glad to share information that can help you all.
The best thing IF did for me was for my acne problem. I no longer have acne since I started IF a few weeks. Your face can really reflect your health. Thanks Dr.Berg for the continuous free education online.
This 15 min vid is more informative than the year spent with my dermatologist that only resulted in more prescriptions, more questions and worse skin. Years later I started keto and IF and noticed an almost immediate improvement to my skin. Never once was it suggested for me to consider my eating habits or the nutrient profile of my foods. Amazing content as always, but damn the American health care system is broken.
The medical industry doesn't want you to know how much a healthy diet, especially a whole foods plant based one, can keep you from getting sick. Healthy food is medicine but they keep feeding us and promoting poison in the form of sugar
Michael Cole, WOW! What an understatement your last sentence was!! Since I was a child, I've never had trust in Doctors of any kind. At 67 years old now, Dr. Eric Berg is the ONE Dr. that I trust the most with my health! What I've learned from him over the last 3 1/2 years has saved my life! I'm forever grateful to this man!!
Sounds like the situation I was in throughout my 20's! Like Dr. Berg, I had really bad acne as a kid, throughout my twenties and even going into my thirties too (I'm currently 41). With that, my diet was far from optimal, however I was playing soccer, lifting and snowboarding on a regular basis (still do all of which!). At 20 I was put on Accutane which resulted in a very minor case of dry eyes. I then moved here to Vegas in 2006 (I was 26) and my eyes obviously got worse, along with my acne. I saw a few different Dermatologists and one suggested to put me on Accutane (again) in the fall of 2008. So, I immediately started it and it was by far the worst decision I've made in my life - Being on Accutane for the second time destroyed almost half of the oil glands in my eyes and further dried out my skin. Mind you, living in one of the driest locations in the US doesn't help either, as when I travel to the PNW, East Coast or anywhere out of the desert, I get immediate relief (especially in Seattle and Portland).
Ultimately, if I was informed that all I really needed to do was change my diet back in my twenties, I could have avoided Accutane all together and the consequences of.
yeah so is the Canadian
Thats cuz they can't afford u getting healed...u keep them in biz...yeah I agree..most dr..don't know much other then tylenol or motrin
Can I request everyone who finds Dr Berg's videos helpful, to please take a moment to wish him and his family every happiness, success, good health and peace. His information is well researched, presented and works. Many of us have been victims of the medical INDUSTRY and the greedy sychopaths within it. So it is even more humbling that Dr Berg does these videos. Thank you and may your god bless you. Oh and also wish yourselves the very best, we all deserve good health and happiness. Love to you all xx
Amen! 🙏
Very informative thank you doc Berg 🙏
Let me do this right now!! Oh how fortunate l feel to have found him and actually LISTENED...l am do blessed ......
@@denasharpe2393 I feel the same. May we all be blessed towards better health.
Wishing him & his family all the BEST!!!!!
My face a few months ago was puffy, skin was dead looking. I’ve always had trouble with my skin, blackheads, fatty blotches. The blotches have disappeared, blackheads totally cleared up, my skin has never looked better. I’ve even had deep forehead wrinkles tighten up.
Guess I must be doing something right.
Thank you Dr Berg and all the keto community. You’ve saved my life. Literally.
I am so in love with the way he explains things. Been binge watching his videos.
Introduced to colon cleansing phase from a man living in a trailer..... Priceless. Gotta love the journeys we all take on the road to good knowledge.
HAHAHA! No truer words were ever written!! I truly appreciate the laugh!
😂
So true 😅
I have been overweight since I was about 9 years old. Im 34 now and lost my first 54lbs in only 3 months with omad and keto. No one ever helped me like this and I have been looking for over 20 years.
Not to mention, never would have I imagined my lower back pain would also go away. Can walk again!
Thank you!
What a wonderful success - you've turned your life around! Would you mind sharing it to Dr. Berg's website so it can help inspire more people? Please use this link:
www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story
Wow! That's massive.
@@Drberg hello good sir, I will! My dads blood sugar is also down from 13-15, to 7-9 following same plan. Watched all your videos what a light switch you turned on in my head. Take care and keep it up!
I have noticed a remarkable reduction in back pain and body aches since cutting out sugar, starch and processed food
That's a great outcome
I am so glad you are real with us Dr. Berg!!! It’s nice to watch all of your videos!!! I’m trying my best to learn nutrition.
This is probably one of the best videos this guy's made. Super helpful. I appreciate it, much love.
I had all of this. I cut added sugar, no fast foods, and started serious exercising. It has all cleared up. I am 64. I don't do the keto, but I think you get the point. What he is telling us is good stuff
I cannot do the keto either, cannot get enough fat in me to get healthy ketosis, have breathing difficulty so cannot do a lot of exercise either, however, we can do as much as we can of it eh? Some is better than none.
@@Hypohair Honestly, cutting out sugar in general, fast food, fried food and as much processed food as you can is 95% of the battle. After dealing with about two months worth of joint pain that came out of nowhere, I started an anti-inflammation diet about two weeks ago. Have already lost 10lbs and most of the joint pain is gone.
Your way helps me, too. I just can’t give up grapefruit, apples, and berries. But I have upped veggies and eat lean protein. I eat eggs and whole natural almonds or pistachios but I count them out now. I don’t ever drink my calories. I mainly drink water, green tea, or herbal tea, and sometimes regular tea maybe a coffee once or twice a month or less. It was interesting about cod liver oil. I should probably switch to a different type of milk but I like milk. And oatmeal helps me stay regular. Oh, and measuring my food helps. I don’t know if I have the will power to do keto.
@@Hypohair Try seated chair exercises. I have knee issues. It can be a good work out. There are videos on RUclips.
Just cutting out fast foods and soda will help a lot. Also, exercise...not the gym type but just parking your car a little farther out in parking lots and walking more keeps joints more mobile too.
I've been on KETO now for six months - lost 25 lbs., brain fog is gone, stamina is up, and I'm able to exercise again. I just had to have professional photos taken for my new website. When I told the photographer that I was 72, she didn't believe it - she remarked upon my skin texture and lack of wrinkles. And the photos look stupendous. Thanks for all these chances to improve my life and health, Dr. Berg!
That's because you're starving. The alert feeling you get is a survival mechanism. If you are hungry in the wild, you need to be active to get food (not sleepy like a lion that's just had a meal). Keto can wreck your insulin response so its important to do it in a cyclical way, so refeed with carbohydrates once a week or so
@@kierenkd That makes sense! I'm always reluctant to follow any regamin or diet. I'd rather just eat well and get a variety of food into my system.
As Schultz used to say ,,,
very interesting*
Soooo00000
Alternate.
I'm so amazed how much I have learned from your videos and now I need to start working on my overall health especially eating too much carbohydrates! Thank You Dr. Berg!!
Dr. Berg, I love that you use your own story. Very powerful that you have lived thru this.
at age 82,,, I AM FINALLY LEARNING FROM YOU DR. BERG.
I am seeing my pimples, red face, red eyes clearly improve.
,,,, ALL the SEVEN PROBLEMS you have described here perfectly described my face,
So many doctors, for so many years, have missed the target of solving these SEVEN problems. Thanks, Dr. Berg.
I can attest to 5 out of 7 of your changes after I went to intermittent fasting and lost 41pounds of mostly visceral fat. I Dropped 4 prescription meds because they are no longer needed and I feel 20 again at age 59. Best thing a person can ever do IMO.
'Physician, heal thyself' .....I like how you're a great example of actually doing this 🙂
As someone who had acne as youngster, red inflamed skin as an adult... I'm horrified that it's probably worse on the inside. Well, that was until I found your vids! Thank you so very very much Dr Berg.
The heartbreak I am going through, watching my 38 yo daughter and her partner, becoming overweight, bloated, stomachs distended (especially him) rounded faces, double chins, general ill-looking skin coupled of course with a high carb diet. They will NOT listen or try Keto or even lower their carb intake. I will not nag.
I have been a T2D for over 30 to 40 yrs and in the last year have not only reversed my condition, but also lost over 30 kilos (66 lbs approx) with, of course, your directives and vids.
I thank you Doc, for this life & health changing way of life.
I bow to thee.....Namaste. 👍👍🥰🇦🇺 Love from Australia xox
The bad must suffer.
It's justice and you shouldn't feel bad about it.
Great presentation thank you so much keep up with the great work
@@SolveForX finnaly another smart person calories in vs calories out :)
@@SolveForX yeah ok....
I know the feeling. Ive been with someone for 22 years and she just doesnt understand. She is vapor locked into that 3 meals a day mentality and has crappy food all over the cupboards at her place. Yet has horrible acne loads of prescriptions and is probably 300 lbs nows. Works at the hospital and is duped by the system. Its so sad Ive given up on her :(
One of the best videos Dr. Berg has done - mind blowing! Had all but one of these issues (female) until I began a ketogenic diet. Little by little they all went away - the round "Dutch Boy" face, puffy bloodshot eyes, double chin, miserable acne - every negative trait mentioned. People think I've had plastic surgery because I look so much better now than a decade ago. (Or they think I'm lying about my age.) No, just dropped daily sugars & processed/natural carbs to 30g average total. I rarely count calories unless very hungry. Which is almost never anymore. In 2-1/2 years my weight went from 180 down to 133 & holding.
(Weight is still dropping but much more slowly now. But it's OK. As long as I'm healthy & feel & look it, very content. Just a shame that it took almost 5 decades to learn this, with Dr. Berg's help. A few other wonderful YT practitioners as well. :)
Thanks for this post, you've inspired me to get with the program!
My favorite day was getting out of the car without having to brace and take the strain ...almost left the ground after I had lost 10 kilos- about 22 pounds..., like you I don't count calories just live a low carb lifestyle with the odd high carb day when I feel like it or a celebration occasion.
Japanese car- Nissan Sentra- you step up and out lol
In a mirror universe (check the "many worlds theory" for time travel, or watch the AVENGERS movie) there is a Dr. Berg that is a diabetic or pre-diabetic, has a high carb/low fat diet with lots of processed foods, loves fruit drinks, bread, pasta, pizza, etc., has a puffy face due to high sodium, MSG and many other poisons put in the ingredients, and in his RUclips channel explains exactly the opposite of what is being said here. At some moment in time there was an event that changed the course of history, but once Dr. Berg travels into his past, he meets his past self and stops that defining situation from happening, so the younger Dr. Berg keeps doing wrong things, and now the improved/"revamped" Doctor tries to recreate that event. Once the new Dr. Berg does this, he then travels back to the present and the original reality from which he left. He arrives a few minutes after embarking on the first time travel trip.
Would love to hear some of the other youtubers who have inspired you and guided you on your wellness journey. Thank you!
Thank you, Dr. Berg! 😊 I always enjoy your videos and listening to all of the fantastic information you have for everyone! God bless you & your wife.
Thank you so much Dr. Berg, I can't express how much I appreciate you! I've been watching your videos for a year. I went from 220lbs to 150lbs, I'm assuming I have very little fat because people say I look no more than 120lbs, less headaches, no knee pain, cravings and my stomach is disappearing. I have noticed the right side of my stomach is flatter than the other side. But its not noticeable.
I've got to say this: the "puffy" Dr. Berg looks cute and someone you'd like to hang out with in a buffet. But the "keto" Dr. Berg looks so handsome and you'd want to exercise with him in the gym. Thank you so much for everything that you do to help everyone on earth to be the best version of themselves. Respect!💯🙏😘
You are so funny LOL
😂😂😂
I love Dr Bergs' kindness in his face and eyes. Beautiful man, inside and out.
Puffy Dr. Berg. Cute... Keto Dr. Berg, Hubba hubba....😃 Thanks for all you do. I notice people with unchecked blood sugar sometimes look swollen. 😞
😂😂😂😂
You just completely explained it all here.
Thank you so very much❤
I'm literally in tears, because of you I now understand my diet and my body.
No doctor I've seen ever explained how to fix and heal from a poor diet, poor eating habits.
The word 'Doctor'(Latin) means Teacher and you certainly have 100% shined through.
Thank you.
Shared everywhere!

Doctor, you answered all the questions I had in my mind, I was confused and didn’t know why my face was always puffy. Thank you so much 😊
I'm going on 3 months of intermittent fasting and a low carb diet and have lost 30 pounds and reversed my fatty liver because of your videos (and Jason's!). For the first time ever I no longer have a double chin. I always thought it was genetics but just goes to show the great benefits of a proper diet. Thank you Dr. Berg!
@@asdghkii holy. I thought the liver needs healthy carbs ? I’m trying to reverse a fatty liver. I’m hearing a lot of different takes on it. Something like the liver needs glycogen , vit e, vit a, copper, choline, . And healthy carbs are energy for the liver etc. everything is confusing me.
Love Sosa a lot of the information out there is out of date, confusion will keep you stuck. I stick to Dr. berg, Dr. jason Fung, and Dr Osborne (grain free diet expert)- then you won't be confused, you'll be empowered and way healthier. Don't bother discussing with family, your doctor or your dietitian, because those three types will criticize what you're doing. Dr. Berry is great, too. As you inform yourself and learn what works for your body, you will trust yourself and choose the mentors that make sense to you. You're the boss of your health, fewer mentors and the right ones is key. Take care.
No fruit? no milk?
@@SkyHermit I havent been eating fruit or milk.
@@asdghkii thank you. And yes I have been losing some weight , I cut everything that’s bad for me out.
Weight loss update. Started at 83kg 1st Oct and now at 76.8kg. Thank you Dr Berg x
Edit: firstly, thank you to everyone for your comments and I'll share what I did since some have asked. Before I do that, I must share that I am in my early 20s and I am doing keto to just improve my lifestyle since I was considered obese for my BMI.
What I did:
1. I walk every single day for 50 mins to 1 hour.
2. I do intermittent fasting and would usually have my first meal at 2PM and my last meal at 6PM (I like to leave 4 hour gap)
3. I don't snack and as previously stated I skip breakfast.
4. I drink a glass of water 30 mins before each meal and I also put about a tsp of apple cider vinegar in my water.
5. I follow a low carb diet but not strictly ketogenic.
6. I eat plenty of vegetables and with meals I just substitute most carbs with vegetables e.g. rice with cauliflower. Lasagne sheets with zucchini etc...
7. I exercise 4 times a week.
8. I don't obsess over my weight because I know I have lost it.
9. The best advice I've ever heard: get 80% of your work done before your first meal!!! Thank me later for that.
What I've noticed...
I feel healthier, better and more confident. My body looks toned and old clothes are starting to fit. It's been a while since I've had a smile on my face. If anyone has more Qs I'll edit this xx
Thats awesome :)
How did you achieve it so fast? My weight is 84, trying all i could to lose it but all in vain
Please share your routine...i need it so much
I think this is normal weight loss for keto. Congratulations
@@Susy0610 I answered that in my original comment (I editited it) xx
I just want to say, I am a happier, healthier version of myself, by putting into action the advice in your videos, between you and Dr. Alan Mandell I haven't visited a doctor in years! I'm almost 61 and I feel as if I'm getting younger not older....I pass as much of your advice as I can onto other people with various conditions and they have also benefited greatly. I am in the UK and years ago in the 60's/70's and 80's, there was a man locally who practised Naturopathy, Chiropody, Accupuncture/Accupressure, Herbalism and people used to flock to him for treatment. THIS is what we need (and qi gong and Eastern practices) not pharmaceuticals. Please don't ever stop doing what you doing. People like you are a blessing 🤲🙏❤
I met a friend at a group breakfast a few weeks ago. They said that I looked great. I assumed it was because of the weight I've lost (Carnivore w/ IF) and body shape (exercise). I thanked them and asked what made them say that. Their answer shocked me- they replied, "Your face looks healthier."👍
You sound like me. I was eating to frequently but not unhealthy. Now that I get it. The changes my my body has gone through with intermittent fasting is amazing. Bravo Dr Berg 👏🏾
I took a break from IF/2 meals a day and within 2-3 weeks I'm starting to binge & crave sugar again.
I obviously have to stick closely to permanent IF with very little time off from it.
@@violetfem1808 not enough potassium possibly?
Me2!
@@amenra7278 That's very possible since we need so much of it and only eating twice a day, I tend to eat the same meals morning & early evening. Omelet in am. (mushrooms & grn onion, olive oil, pink salt, chia seeds & 1/2 avadaco) with some legumes after.
Dinner is mostly pretty large Salad of red leaf lettuce w/ oranges or grapes & 1 TB chia seeds. Banana after w/ 1 tsp. Peanut Butter.
I usually have a tiny bit of whatever I cook my husband... small portion chicken & veggie or spaghetti, etc.
I do take alot of supplements & good multi incl. Potassium Citrate granules w/ Collagen Powder.....
I'm most likely lacking somewhere.
@@violetfem1808 Grapes, bananas, oranges and spaghetti?? Those are not recommended in this plan. The fruits are very high in sugar and the spaghetti is all carbs. You might consider spaghetti squash and only a small amount (no more than 1/2 cup) of berries.
The number of times my mouth dropped during this video... I recently gained so much weight and I've noticed 3 very distinct changes - my eyes got irritated SO often, my double chin was much bigger and I started snoring so loud!!! And the fact that you addressed these as indicators of too much carb intake and high blood sugar was just so validating for me that I NEED to make a change now. So glad I found your channel!
Probably also there is more fat around your neck and that contributes to snoring/sleep apnoe.
Been following you for some time and it is so refreshing to hear how we can be healthier NOT BY TAKING A PILL!
This is so helpful as I'm frustrated with doctors claiming they don't know my ailments. This is a simple breakdown.
Glad this helped. Thanks for watching!
I turn 55 tomorrow, perfect timing to start this program!
For years I had all the problems you describe and was very overweight. Two years ago I had a very serious illness caused by a burst appendix that had no symptoms. The resulting infections required major abdominal surgeries and many months with an iliostomy bag and healing intestines. This caused me to lose 75 pounds, but not in a healthy way, but lack of nutrition. It literally starved off. Now I am well and determined to nourish myself properly and also keep the weight off. I have been following a keto diet for 6 months and have never felt better. My newly healed gut functions like a new baby's, with no bloating, constipation or digestive problems. I feel great, I love the food, and have stayed thin. The things you describe in this video are all gone except the dry skin patches. I just turned 70 and look forward to a long, healthy life. Thank you so much for helping me understand how to have one.
You are getting younger by the day and helping lots of other people get younger by the day too! Lots of love to you Dr. Berg!
Thanks Dr Berg for your indepth information on health in simple language.
Since,I came across you,I am really on the part to renew my entire body.
My no.1 issue was cravings in fasting so I transferred my lane swimming mantra: once I swim beyond first 20mins the following 40mins is seamless: When you handle the first 24hr fasting mindf**k the following days are seamless. Trust me, it works magic! Theirs a difference between a hungry stomach, an empty stomach & not feeling hungry. It freaks me out sometimes that I can go for over a week without food & still not feel hungry.
I do IF (18-23hr fasts) and I try to avoid starchy carbs and sugars. I had a birthday recently and started eating bad for 2-3 weeks. I definitely notice a difference. My face is puffy, more blotchy. I knew what it was instantly. So, getting back on track today.
Kristy. Eating badly, not bad. Badly modifies how you eat. It’s an adverb. Adverbs end in ly. Got it?
@@judeirwin2222 are you a native English speaker?
No, he’s arrogant. We come here for health advice, not English correction that doesn’t mean jack in the long run.
EXCELLENT! I am a lic. ND in MD and this is so very helpful for everyone, everywhere!
Thank you, really kelps to understand my situation, a week into keto and intermittent fasting and can already see a difference! My face is thinning out and I'm sleeping through the whole night .. very excited to see further results, will stay off carbs and sugar and recommend to everyone
It's a wonderful place to be, I'm not too far into my journey, but I'm dealing well with it thank God! At my age I decided when I started this journey that very occasionally I will give myself small amounts I've something I would consider a treat, as has been advised by some of the doctors I've watched. So I marked my 3-week point with an open-faced tuna sandwich on the smallest piece in the loaf airiest good pannell Italian bread, I had decided from watching One video that said if you restrict that carbohydrate intake over a very long stretch of time, that slows down the flooding of insulin, therefore you wouldn't have such a huge insulin so I said well I'll make sure I don't consume that whole piece of bread in under a half-hour as was suggested. I had the tiniest bite of the bread with the tuna. It's somewhat was taste satisfying in my expectations from my memory. But was short-lived and that was all I needed before discussed set in as my brain kept telling me all I had learned and believe it or not The taste didn't override the desire to continue to eat to live instead of living to eat. I have had my moments where I reminisced about tasting something, only to have a desire for a nice steak with onions and mushrooms, upon the first bite entering my mouth the memory quickly turns to disgust, and I find myself daydreaming and thinking about the low-carb foods when having cravings now, I truly believe the body will crave what it means when it is running properly. By this I mean I might crave liver and onions if I need iron. I might crave magnesium-rich foods if my electrolytes are off . I am happy that I think I can say I have detox off the sugar, and if I don't allow myself to subconsciously be mentally manipulated by mass behaviors(group settings, functions, events, familiar people places things evoking nostalgia) I can be looking back saying I've been this way for 5, 10, 15 years. Looking forward to that.
Love the piece about the blood shot eyes. Our four year old had super blood shot eyes and has struggled with bad skin issues on his legs and bottom, and I knew it was his liver. Even though we eat very "clean" we lived in a townhome where we found out we had three types of toxic mold. Since moving and giving him certain herbs/roots/fungi, and adding different foods to his diet, his eyes have become so much clearer! It's amazing how much the outside of our appearance can show about the toxic load out organ systems are dealing with. Thank you for another great video!
That happened to me as well...I suffered from mold toxicity. My skin hasn't completely recovered either. What types of herbs, etc. did you take to help heal the body from this? Thanks
@@cest_what What effects did the mould toxicity have on you & your skin?
Hey, what type of herbs have you used to clear the red eyes?
Wow!!! So glad you were able to help your boy!!!!!
Maybe he's smoking to much dope.
Your before and after pics remind me of myself. I recently came across a photo from about 3 years ago. I was shocked. My face was so puffy. I did not look well. Then in Jan 2019 because of a yet undiagnosed health problem, I went to an acupunturist who had me quit all sugar, cut back my alcohol consumption, and go vegetarian/vegan, which I did for a year. My health problem was diagnosed later that year by a Chemical Allergy Patch test. Though I lost quite a bit of weight, I felt being vegetarian was not the healthiest thing for me. So I began healthy keto in 2020. I turn 66 in a couple of weeks, but I look much better now than I did a few years ago.
This man is incredible. Why is none of this taught in school?
seriously you basically saved my life with all the inforrmation on insulin i have most of the symptoms and now after 2.5 mths without exercise i have reduced so much waistline. Starting exercise soon i really wanna thank you so much.
I starting cleaning up my life 6 months ago. I fell off the wagon and drank badly.
I noticed my face blew up and I felt miserable.
I am so disappointed with myself. I missed 2 days of life recovering. I spent 24 hours fasting to jump start back to a health lifestyle
Your videos are a life changing. Thank you! Thank you!
Not to worry Mark, everyone slips, just get back up and go for it again. May you find the self-discipline (ugh lol) to continue regaining your health!
Seeing Dr. Eric Berg talking with his own personal experience makes this video 10x more personal and educating, thanks for sharing
Most welcome!
I always wake up with dark circles around my eyes. It’s terrible. I also suffer with SIBO and I have severe constipation. It’s terrible. Glad you give us lots of new stuff.
Dr. Berg. Thank you very much for sharing this info. In fact I had the exact same symptoms, reddish eyes, bags underneath the eyes. And tell you what, I was diagnosed with diabetes. Started having low carb foods and feeling much better now 😊
What about depression? Happy for you
Wait! Wait! The doctor used to be chunky? Wow, what a difference. Thank you for the truth. It is very encouraging to see how eating correctly can make such a huge difference.
Something I don't promote
Very glad to be of help.
When I was ok keto for 2 years my skin was glowing. I was lean and strong. Now I have acne from trying the vegan diet then regular omnivore. And despite working out a lot I have fat all over. Keto is definitely the winner and now I'm in my 3rd day 💪
May I ask what blood type you have?
I had a Stanford trained quack dermatologist who thought my acne could be treated with antibiotics. Imagine 2 6-month courses of tetracycline and erithromycin. 😢
I love this Doctor. His take is science backed and logical.
Dr following your videos I deleted sugars gluten and carbs , I'm feeling much healthier,I had migrane and leg pain all vanished Tq TQ soo much 🌹stay blessed Dr
As a man who had never had any weight issues, I found myself looking to lose weight after the lockdown. Since sports alone wasn't working tried different diets. Keto not only helped but solved a gut and severe bloating issue that I thought was chronic. I didn't expect that at all, thanks a million.
I LIVE IN PAKISTAN . I AM A DOCTOR ( MBBS ) . WHEN I SAW ABOUT 100 OF YOUR VIDEOS I BECAME THE KETO CRUSADER ( MY FRIEND' IDEA )
Your channel is the best one for health questions. I love it.
Hi Dr. Berg! I have been trying to lose weight forever and I have been exercising consistently for a year and there are very little changes to my weight. I found your channel and learned about insulin resistance. I am controlling my sugar intake now and eating low carbs. I'm Asian I can't quit my rice completely. :p I do intermittent fasting and I rarely snack. I am losing weight finally! Thank you!
Im not sure, but have heard that black rice has less carbs than white rice, maybe look into black rice as an option?
It is easy to quit rice actually. Just don't eat
@@SkyHermit Are you Asian? If you are than good for you, if not MYOB!
Wonderful !! 👏👏.. good for you !!👌🙂
After cooking the rice, cool it for 12 hours and warm it again, it will reduce about 50% og carb
I HIGHLY ENDORSE THIS CHANNEL!! Ive lost 29 lbs since September 2021. Moved my A1C from 6.6 to 6.0. Dr Berg is part of my daily RUclips viewing and nutrition/health routine.
Wow - you are awesome.
That's a lot of weight loss! Wow! Good for you!
@@Drberg Hey. What's is normal glucose levels for a non diabetic and pre diabetic? Is a blood glucose level of 138 two hours after a meal normal or an indication of prediabetes?
@@tonetone7693 that's high if you didn't eat carbs. Mine's between 88 and 105.
@@Cindy24412 I ate carbs.
Omg! I have been living on carbs since March of 2020. My face is looking like your before pic. I use to belong to a gym and worked out watched what I ate. I need to start working out again and start intermittent fasting. I can’t believe I’ve let myself go. My belly looks like the one in your video. I’ve gained 20 pounds. Yikes! I don’t know how to stop my sugar cravings. I’ve used food to comfort myself. Thank you for your videos! I need to hear this. I really appreciate all you do! You are a good man! You help so many people. God bless you and your family. 🙏❤️🥰
The dry, flaky skin...WOW. Thank you!!! I've been battling that for so long.
I wish that one day, every doctor will talk like you do to their patients. This is another great video from the amazing dr Berg.
If you go to a Natural Path Dr. this is how they talk to you…
I'm a 30 year old women. I cut out sugar and most carbs about 2 weeks ago. My skin has already cleared up, I have so much more energy, my face and body are less puffy, and I've already lost some weight (could be water weight, but who cares). Also, I can't believe how soft my skin feels! Took me ages to figure out that it was all the sugar and carbs I was eating. I only found these videos after I changed my diet, but you bet your butt it works. The first 5 days were hard mostly because of the side effects (feeling super thirsty, peeing a lot, mild insomnia, some irritability, sugar cravings), but it's worth it. Coffee got me through the worst of it :P
More benefits include not needing eye drops anymore for dry eyes. I haven't tried wearing my contacts since changing my diet but maybe I'll be able to wear them for longer now. Better concentration - I have been able to meditate daily, which has been a goal of mine for years. I don't feel like I absolutely need a nap every time after I eat. And I think my pms symptoms have been reduced although it's a bit too early to tell.
Try it for yourself, you won't regret it.
Can share what you eat instead after stopping eating carbs?
@@linok7317 Lettuce. There's not a lot else
Good job after a few months its super easy to stay on your eating system.
@@linok7317 I would suggest wild-caught fish, grass-fed meats (if you can afford them) and lots and lots of veggies. Some people can also handle consuming raw dairy products and healthily produced eggs, coconut oil - I personally cannot, which does limit my diet, but there’s still lots of healthy, delicious foods out there…. Avocado oil and nuts in limited quantities work well for me. 🙂
Hi Dr Eric Berg thank you for your help we met once in Australia I'm enjoying learning and Keto and the changes to my life .
Ever since I reduced my sugar and card intake, I felt like I jad more energy, I had been going to the bathroom less frequent at night or just even just once at night. It's been almost 2 months now and my mood and cravings(lessen) headaches, sleep has totally improved
Great videos Dr. Berg. I have been on your diet over 6 months now. No sugar, no carbohydrate. A lot of salad, I eat bacon, salmon, steak and lot of nuts. I lost 15Kg in last six months. I'm really glad how this works. I feel a lot lighter than before. Thank you very much Dr. Berg.
Could it be because you eat fewer calories?
Too much nuts is also bad
I thought nuts were a no no?????
@@philiphill56 calories from carbs and calories from quality animal foods is not the same. The animal foods could have a lot of fat and thus calorie, but they are much more nutrient dense than most carbs.
Nuts carb is like a pain killer n multivitamin tablet ans its also swing our mood.
Thank you, Dr Eric Berg, for going straight to the facts, and making the information simple and easy to understand.
I wish I could attach my before and after pictures 4 months apart… That would be exact description without words! Thank You Dr. Berg!!! ❤
The fact that you have great cheekbones at your age is a clear indicator of how great your diet is.
I am an RN and I wondered why some female patients were taking metformin, when they were not diabetic. But, they did have PCOS. Wow, this video made a light bulb go off in my brain! Thank you Dr. Berg for this awesome information that we are not taught about in the medical field.
I was put on Metformin for my PCOS. I was on it for 10 months. I had zero energy and I was depressed and sick. After I came off I suddenly felt like exercising but I gained 15lbs that I haven't managed to loose.
Is this doctor still alive ?
How to solve the problem of pcos?
Dr. Berg, I thank the Lord Jesus for you, you have been chosen for such a time as this to educate us to take care of our bodies, and you explain everything so well that we can take a hold of the information you give and utilize it in our everyday lives to bring Heath and healing to our own bodies.
YOU’RE THE MAN DR. BERG ❤️💯👍🏽🙌🏼🙌🏽🙌🏼🙌🏽😃
Don’t Stop, Keep It Going
Usually around this time of year, I would get a small cold? Or chill
I haven't had anything since i started my vitamin D3, C, and zinc along with green tea
I thank his parentes.
Amen!
Thank you DR. BERG you have set me on a path of renewed health & wellness!
So glad to hear that! My pleasure!
Easily one of the best videos i have seen. This video is such a revelation...of the things we've struggled to know all our lives. Thank you doctor, for sharing.
Glad you like the video. Thanks for watching!
As a non meat eater, keto is not an option anymore. BUT I learned a lot from it. I'm on whole food plant based but I dropped sugar like keto and make crackers, bread from almond flour often. I intermittent fast. It's working. I still watch Dr. Berg for his great info. He has a mellow , sweet way about him.
Same. I don't eat meat either. I would think it would cause high cholesterol- Keto? Still great information.
@@ShotofTea Cholesterol is not bad. We’ve been lied to. For the science behind this check out Bart Kay’s channel. ❤
What does your diet look like? I wonder is there an alternative for us non meat eaters.
Same!!
Don’t use almond flour it’s very inflammatory due to omega 6s it contains..
I've done keto before, but fell off of the healthy lifestyle due to bad eating habits. I've noticed the puffy face and redness! Thank you for this video. My husband and I will start keto again this week! 🙌
It’s hard to stick to Keto . I find LCHF easier.
anibiotics will clean the biioodd of impuritys
The way you just described me! I’m going to work on this asap! Thank you doc!
Wow, there is so much amazing information that I didn't know about. Thanks for all that you do in putting so much helpful information out there for people to help themselves get healthy.
YOU should receive the Nobel Peace Prize for giving us all this free education!! God bless u!
Wish I had known about Keto 30 years ago. I have lost 37 pounds in 5 months but my skin will never improve because I can’t turn back time. Being in my 70’s my skin is old but all my blood work is great
I just read this for the first time. You must’ve been a fly on the wall today. You just described me and my whole situation. I’m trying not to panic.
Your videos have helped me fit missing pieces to the puzzle of fitness, I am grateful!
Dr. Eric Berg, may God continue to bless you and your family. Thank you for your willingness to share your years of hard work and experience, and for these well presented, easily understandable videos. Your channel is a go-to for me. I've successfully applied many of the corrections you've educated me on. Truly outstanding!
Imagine if everyone had a nutrition class in school that was like this… I had a very short 10 minute class before school on Wednesdays for nutrition and it was the basic/generic model of eat healthy… nothing about the consequences, why you should, what could happen if you change. Imagine the amount of inspiration a class of kids would have listening to this video. I guarantee me in middle school would go home and tell my parents how much I learned because it’s such a ginormous topic that no people don’t want to break down.
Checkmate, if they learned about real nutrition, they wouldn't eat the school lunches and would probably be put on "starvation watch". When I decided as a HS kid to become a vegetarian, my mom freaked. :)
@@explained3799 Meat is good for you
Ssshh. We don't talk about such idea as it would disrupt the entire Pharma industry and they know that..
I appreciate your knowledge of health and how we can take care of our bodies through eating correctly.
Thank you Dr Berg, you're videos are very informative and I believe healthy!
You are the best Dr Berg! Thank you so much for this information! Upon applying it to my own face I realize that I have to do better with my keto practice. And further thanks to you, I know how I'm hurting myself. 💖
Dr Berg I started listening to you from July 2020 and gradually as I followed your advice with IF and Keto diet my life has changed so much for the better....I am so grateful to have lost weight even belly fat and I am much healthier....doctor says my regular blood and urine tests recently showed so many of my health issues...Iam 72 now and have heart disease and arthritis and have hyperthyroidism so am so happy they are better...I found IF and keto not too hard as my sense of well being was increasing as I made the changes ....my body likes things I do now and I can have e xercise a little as well....my husband's health is better too as he is starting to follow too! So, so grateful to you and these marvellous videos! God bless you and your family always...❤️🌹
Dr Berg is such a god send for us all. His purpose is that we regain our health.
Thanks, iso wish I could send this video to my teenage self! I also had horrible acne and excessively oily skin no matter how often I washed my face and hair. Since I was thin, I mistakenly thought I could eat all the carbs I wanted. As I got over 40 and my metabolism slowed way down, I got the very dry eyes, the dry flaky patches between my eyebrows, etc. After I turned about 55, I was pre-diabetic; I probably had been for many years before it was finally diagnosed. Fortunately, going on a Keto diet and Intermittent Fasting fixed that and helped me lose weight as well. My problem is that a long un-diagnosed gluten sensitivity and leaky gut caused me to develop multiple food sensitivities and some of the foods typically found in a Keto diet, like butter, cream and eggs are now no-no’s for me. 😢
You are absolutely spot on Dr.Berg ! Thankyou.
Thanks!
