Had my physical yesterday along with blood work. The doctor said “ you are doing great, we have nothing to talk about, thanks for coming, have a great day”. This wasn’t the case 2 years ago before keto when I was 52 years old and 85 pounds overweight. Thanks to all my health heroes who walked me through this and educated the living “hell” out of me.
Great job! I am so happy to see that such people like Dr. Lustig and Dr. Berry and others help people to find themselves. All information is here, available, free. We are so lucky that we can hear them speak and educate us. The things people learn - they would be educating their doctors.
Dr. Berry. You do medicine like i did engineering for 42 years. You listen, you talk, and you're not intimidated in the least by having someone like Dr. Lustig on to listen to and allow him to impart his knowledge and wisdom. I noticed your uncharacteristic silence, and as an ex professional i immediately recognized it as a learning experience for you as well as your audience. My compliments sir. This session spoke volumes to me about you. I'm an avid follower of your videos every week, 4 1/2 years ketovore, down 70 lbs. Type 2 reversed. I'm in your debt.
@@marciamakoviecki3295 really? We can only see his head and shoulders. Using your logic, I could say you look significantly overweight from your profile pic
It was unbelievable to me when I saw what my ex-husband was being fed and the information he was given in the hospital and in a rehab facility after his bypass surgery last month. He's diabetic to the point of needing insulin injections, and they were feeding him high carb, high sugar junk and the advice was what we knew was wrong 30 years ago - egg whites, margarine, seed oils, grains and a harsh limit on red meat. It was malpractice on steroids.
When my diabetic brother was in the hospital, he was given 100 g of carbs at EACH meal…it was printed on his dietary menu that arrived with the meals! The meals were generally “white” with starchy carbs and a little bit of protein. Stunning to see that there is still no improvement in the hospital settings (and other healthcare facilities) when it comes to food for patients.
I'm 65yrs now & that's why the thought of being forced to live in a nursing facility scares me to death. You no longer have any control over what you eat & they administer medications that are not needed. When my mother was living they had her taking pills that she couldn't even tell me what they wer for. And never got a clear answer frm the staff. I think they wer just padding the bill to Medicare with unnecessary medications. Wish she'd never gone in that place.
Exactly the same to me. I read around to find out how I got joints hurt. Then I found out the video "Sugar the bitter truth" I believed 100% and I started low carb diet. losing weight and get a lot healthier. Just stop eating sweet, stop adding any sugar in the food, drink, or sugar added drink, soda pop...Eating whole food, eating healthy is the main key for happy life.
At least in the grocery stores we still have some choices. Look at the food served in hospitals, nursing homes, etc. It's absolutely atrocious what sick people are being fed.
Even worse is what family members bring in, as well as what the patient’s have delivered. The volume of food stored in one patient’s hospital room is disgusting.
Hi ‘Guten Tag’ from Germany, too. I come from sugar, and pleasure lifestyle, which is similar. First I learned from Dr. L about how sugar hacks my liver/brain🧠 , then also how pleasure hacks my brain. Now I can go for a walk in the park and deeply enjoy it. Channels like Dr. Berry’s are life saving I thank God for all of You ❤
‘Bitter Truth’ started my Low Carb Journey. Just doing my prerequisites for my Masters then my PhD in low Carb Clinical Nutrition! Thank you Dr Lustig! You are indeed a giant!
@@TheGreenlove87 That is indeed the sad truth. However, I think his work will ultimately have a greater impact on nutrition than any government official ultimately will have. I love listening to him; he is clear and concise, and does not mince his words.
@Cyril I have always been against all the Middle Eastern wars. Everybody deserves peace and prosperity. You live by the sword you die by the sword so yes we will get ours soon.
Awe...TYSM for sharing and your willingness to be vulnerable in your personal story! Your truth literally has restored my hope and brought an excitement to really pursue the keto/carnivore diet! 💕❤
Somewhere around 4 months ago I cut out the majority of sugar and processed carbs from my diet. About a month ago I started using a diet tracking app on my phone. Following the app I drastically changed my consumption of fats. Now 75% of my calories I consume as fat. My blood sugar has dropped drastically while my weight has dropped from 270 pounds to 245 pounds. My goal is to reach 215 pounds. I want to be able to completely stop taking blood pressure and diabetes medication completely. My question is how can I find an Endocrinologist and/or Cardiologist who is not dogmatic about fat and sugar and can provide guidance as I (hopefully) wean myself from these meds?
I love Dr. Berry’s enthusiasm, sincerity, and dedication to promote health and healing. A powerhouse video with Dr. Lustig! Many thanks for the continuing education.
I took a biology beginners at Ryerson University back in 1992. The professor opened the classroom with this statement that hooked me into what you guys are discussing in this video : She said - " If you understand how a a single cell of the body works you can understand the entire universe .. " .. been on the healing health path since.
It is worth repeating that quote. "If you understand how a single cell of the body works you can understand the entire universe." Its a start. Chemistry and Physics is how it all functions. Why we exist and what for? Head over to Philosophy. 😁
Well, based off that information not one doctor and the cancer facilities understand what the cell and a broken mitochondria is because we are giving people the wrong treatment to get rid of cancer and it’s a money pit and it’s sad that we are losing 1600 people a day just in America to cancer so these other people can get rich it’s a disgrace and it needs to change
Lustig was one of my attending physicians at UCSF in the 90’s when I was a pediatric resident. I recall med students and resident thinking is was a bit whacky. Clearly he knew what he was talking about.
Thank You Dr Ken Berry for hold down your anger to allow Dr Robert Lustig to talk. We all should be angry with big food companies that profit over lives.
As a retired Emergency Room physician I have seen the aftermath of what you gentlemen are discussing. Thanks for educating everyone and I have the most respect for you and Dr. Lustig who in my opinion is a genius. I will pass on your message to as many people as I can and will order the book.

"I'm not anti dessert, I'm for dessert but not dessert breakfast, lunch supper. Dessert once a week and make it the best freaking dessert!" This in my opinion is a very powerful statement. Disease doesn't start with one bad meal, its starts with a thousand.lets wake up and stop eating dessert 21 times a week!
Limit mine to holidays then under 20gms Keto. Carnivore the rest of the year. All sorts of special keto desserts out there. A bowel of cheesy broccoli is a special dessert if you’re Carnivoe. 125 lbs step racer 8-12 miles per day 5’7” light weights upper body . This month 79 year old.
@@lynnwilliams5432 I think the point is that not everyone can do that. Personally, I would miss vegetables and fruit. What is so great about this video is that it welcomes a spectrum of approaches from super strict to manageable daily changes. I think it is great b/c you the more people off processed food - the better!!!
@@Galworld761 One thing I have done the last few years is to eat fruit only when it is in season, not trucked in from thousands of miles. Like dessert it is a treat not an everyday occurrence. It has helped me cut back. Fruit is natures candy. When you check your levels and see how much fruit spikes your sugar levels you look at it differently.
I quit alcohol 4 months ago. no problem. I dont miss it. Now I am hit with the extreme need for sugar. I never before have had such a battle. Cookies, pie, icecream and raw honey. I will be watching this video until I have it memorised. Thank you!
Eldon... I just recently started keto and IF and headed towards carnivore and had a sweet craving today after a steak...so I had nothing for this problem sooooo I whipped up coconut flour with alot of organic butter , heavy cream, raw egg, organic coconut powder and threw in some walnuts and quite a few drops of stevia. It was okay but cured my craving and 2 he later checked urine for ketones and lots like I was still in ketosis ❗ so I am back on track and trucking on with healing myself. Hope this true story helped someone 🍀🕊️🌹💗
@@tootienottoofruitie1726 I just watched this video again. I'm serious about this. I now recognize my sugar addiction. The Vegas nerve is my focus and thru watching this video I practiced breathing excercising for the vegas nerve. I hope by these excercising I can beat this sugar addiction. I'm keto-carnivore fasting 18 hour a day.
@@eldonmontgomery2465 Good for you. For me, a x sugar holic shortly after I stopped sugar in any form I did stop craving it... very much like an alcoholic, but I feel that I have to know that once a sugar holic, always a sugar holic,. I may always have that weakness and unlike most I need to stay clear of it in any form... best of luck with this problem... You CAN stay on the wagon ❗🍀🕊️🌄💗
I’ve been low carb and intermittent fasting for 3 years and I no longer have a problem with hunger. After you change your habits, it’s easy. It’s hard for the first 3 weeks, after that gets easier and easier.
@@ladyluck5248 No carb? Not even 20 a day? You know you can make a delicious keto cheesecake, cauliflower mash with butter is wonderful, and of course there’s meat or a nice cheese omelet with salsa. I guess one of the key things is that you have to cook if you want to eat satisfying food. Also staying busy is really important. Hunger comes in waves, so if you distract yourself for a few minutes it should go away for a while.
@@ladyluck5248 the best diet is one way you can stick to. You don’t need to go hard core right out the gate. I can’t do no carb- I feel awful and I am hungry. So I eat veggies. The one constant is no processed food or added sugar.
Carbs are not the only fuel. Ketones are the body’s most consistent fuel. Carbs/glucose are the first fuel your body will go through but ketones are actually the stable fuel. What does your brain run on? Ketones. I’m now on a zero carb diet and it’s been better for me than the low carb dirty keto with fiber, fake sugars, or even veggie carbs. Do your research before you start claiming carbs are the bodies fuel and also do your research to understand that you body’s “balance” isn’t the same as someone else’s
When I saw this pop up in my notifications I was absolutely psyched to watch their exchange. Dr Lustig is one of the doctors that first opened my eyes to the dangers of processed foods and sugar. Even after losing 100 lbs eating "healthy" I never understood the food industry in general until watching his lectures. After years and years I finally figured out why people said that weight loss and health is 80 percent diet and 20 percent exercise. My outlook on food has completely changed because of doctors like Dr lustig, Dr berry, Dr berg, and Dr Fung.
Thank you for mentioning other great practioneers. If I may add ? Dr. Pearlmutter Dr Peter Osborne Dr Mercola Dr Joe Wallach Dr John Bergman Dr Jockers There are many others Some other good channels are Found my fitness Dave Asprey Ivor Cummings Thank you for posting.
@@Needless2say Here are more: Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Dr. Paul Saladino Dr. Philip Ovadia Dr. Shawn Baker Dr. Anthony Chaffee Dr. Robert Kiltz (There are more, but that’s a good addition. I have more…😂)
Dr. Berry, Great Credibility, your best interview to date. This is Nobel Award material. Big food and pharmaceutical will try and bury this information.
This is the best & most important video on the internet. I have been keto 10 years & kept 25 lbs off the whole time. I am a life long learner especially love the topics discussed here. Love Dr B and Dr Lustig, Westman, Cywes, Richard K Bernstein. All an inspiration!
I knew a woman who had cancer and her oncologist told her that our hearts and brains need sugar to function. She went home and made cookies every day and her cancer grew so fast. She passed away in just 6 months.
Omg. I had a client with breast cancer stage 4 who had 6 months to live and then went keto and is still alive today 3 years later. Tumors have not grown.
So sorry for your loss 💔 😢 ..I also lost a dear friend last june to cancer..after his kemo treatments ( at a well known hospital) they fed him full of sugar ... so wish I would of known then what I know now. 🙏🙏🙏
At the oncology office my mom went to always had a table full of candy, sweet rolls. Some doctors are so ignorant. Either that or they just don't care.
In his book, "Fat Chance", Dr. Lustig said that our food must match our biochemistry. That's about all we need to know. Sugar does not match our biochemistry in that it is an anti-nutrient.
Yes 👏 There is no general awareness on oral drugs which are ‘firm’. Only liquids like alcohol have awareness, maybe because ‘aggressive, behaviour has bad reputation. Though depressive and energy-less behaviour is unwelcome in society, as long as it doesn’t *disturb* anyone, then nobody cares, right? Because we don’t really care for each other but we should! Together we are *strong* 🙏❤️🩹🙏
Wow, 22 tsp of sugar/day. I have been carnivore since Dec 1, 2022. I am down from 205 to 157 and aiming for 140. My body still hurts but my fasting insulin was still 8.8 at beginning of Feb even though I did not intentionally have sugar. Little did I know that rotisserie chicken is soaked in sugar solution of some kind. I dealt with a 40 pt elevated BG eight hrs after I ate it. This was crazy! Even my dog won’t eat the chicken the next day. She sniffs it and walks away. My philosophy is if she won’t eat it then I probably shouldn’t either. I have friends that say I have a lot more willpower than they do, but I disagree. I have felt like crud most of my life. I can say that I have felt really good for about three weeks of my entire life. Willpower? No. It is a choice, and I choose not to be diabetic and on insulin. Thanks so much for this detailed breakdown on sugar. I am currently on a Dr Lustig video marathon.
I hope you got a dog. I’ve been relying on one of mine for several years. I just thought she was a cheese snob, but she turns her nose up at certain deli meats, and a number of other things. I first noticed that she would have nothing to do with American cheese, Velveeta, mozzarella, Brie, Muenster, and provolone. Then it was different bologna, mortadella, and ham curings. Weird that pepperoni and salami and liverwurst are ok … so, I’ve followed her lead. Same can be said of many veggies. Fruit is absolutely a fuggetaboutit food. She turns her nose up at the really bad stuff for dogs… nuts, seeds, raw onions, chocolate, bread. Kinda weird but I had two other dogs that were true omnivores. Both loved carrots, peas, corn out of the garden. Both stole melons and watermelons when they were ripe. Go figure as both were Norwegian Elkhounds. My mixed mutts now are about as good as it gets. I eat like them for the most part and they are on a raw diet. I just cook my meats as rare as possible and eat only veggies I grow. Fruit is about nonexistent except for raspberries I grow and blueberries from a friend. Btw… the animal with a digestive tract most similar to humans are dogs. Not chimps, gorillas, bonobos or any other primates or mammals. We definitely evolved together for 10’s of thousands of years. They have just a bit more stomach acid to dissolve bones, kill salmonella and ecoli and other bacteria. Makes me wonder when humans peaked. Last note… raw diet for dogs … poop is not stinky and doesn’t stick much to your shoe if stepped on and dries up quickly and turns white bcz of the bones and ground eggshells.
I got the book and one for my doctor...makes my head spin and I am SO glad to have found you Dr. Berry and now to know about and find Dr. Lustig...you guys are saving our lives...THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I love that 2 of the very few doctors I trust are here. I get in trouble all the time for repeating what you guys are saying. I am kind of a smart-ass too.
both of you started me on this journey of reclaiming everything thank you started oct 20 now 5 dress sizes smaller! feel 15 years old and i’m in my 30s 😁
@@jeff_rowe Thanks Jeff, wonderful news on yourself 😀 and it is YOUR life to enjoy not being hijacked to support the food industries or big pharma salaries!
These guys are savings lives! Hand raised and jumping up and down!! (ME ME ME!!) Book has been ordered. I am beyond grateful for the work these doctors are doing.
I just placed a hold at my public library for Metabolical and The Hacking of the American Mind… can’t wait to read these! Keto almost 3 years… learning more everyday and getting healthier ☺️ Down 77 lbs - will lose 50 more 👍 Thank you Dr Berry and Dr Lustig
two of my biggest heroes along with Dr Aseem Malholtra ! You guys are legends and have helped so many people including myself. If you two were running America the world would be a much healthier, happier, place.God Bless you both
My mother in law had the fatty liver and the metabolic syndrome . And it ended her life ….it was so sad because she didn’t understand why she was dying . That’s been 5 years ago and I still miss her.
Sorry for your loss. My grandmother diet from gangrene from stubbing her toe on insulin. I tell everyone about it in my desperate please to everyone to change. I hope you have started a low carb lifestyle yourself 🙏💗
@@dana102083 my wife and I were just talking about it a few minutes ago. Then I saw your message. I have got to make a change. Thanks for the condolences on my mother in law. I really enjoyed her being around.
Yeah he was a big game changer for myself as well. It's incredible how carbs can mess us up so easily. Even more incredible is how quickly we can recover from decades of abuse to our bodies
The fact that refined sugar actually has an RDA says that they recommend it. This tells you all you need to know. I guess next they will put the RDA of vodka.
They basically DID, when, during the initial lockdown of the so-called "Pandemic", some states closed-down the gyms, but kept the liquor stores open, since alcohol "is essential to alcoholics", who "could die if alcohol is not available". I actually heard this on the news - not a trace of irony or disbelief or disapproval in the Reporter's presentation.
Thanks for having Dr. Lustig on and for him being willing to participate. We have followed Dr. Lustig for years. We look to you for daily reminders and inspiration and knowledge to keep us on the right path.
Dr Robert Lustig does not beat around the bush and is a learned professor highly respected all round the world thank you Dr Ken Berry from Johannesburg South Africa 🇿🇦
Ketovore some days, Carnivore others and loving it! I'm in the midst of a trial on Ozempic (not Wegovy, but lower dose semaglutide.) I'm morbidly obese and the med is just a temporary boost to get me over the hump with insulin resistance. It's helping to ease me naturally into IF. I'm sick and tired of health coaches and nutritionists pushing me towards whole grains, low fat, low salt.
Robert Lustig is my new hero!!! After 8 years of carnivore, I don't often hear truly new information and perspectives, but this guy is it. And I am grateful the wonderful Dr.Berry has introduced him.
It's really strange that I saw an interview earlier today with Dr. Lustig, was thoroughly impressed and thought how remarkable it would be to introduce him to Dr. Berry, and here they are. Two great Doctors chatting about real health.
You guys need a show!!! Such brilliance. I wish there was a Lustig/Berry module on the curriculum in every pre-school, school and university on the planet!!! This information is like landing in a parallel universe like “The Upsidedown” in Stranger Things!!!! Like none of us know about it, but it’s running alongside our calorie driven high carb universe where we are all sick and dying!!! Thank you a thousand times gentlemen!!! ❤❤
I live in New Zealand. Although the supermarket shelves are full to overflowing, there is very little 'food' there. Many of the products have a shelf-life of up to three years, with about 20+ ingredients written on the packaging [OMG!]. Even in the fresh vege department the vast majority is non-organic, but it's by far the better option compared with all the packaged stuff. Nearly everyone in NZ buys their groceries from a supermarket. Trolleys are full of soft drinks, snacks, white bread, biscuits, etc, etc. No wonder sickness is so widespread. Being sick is so normalized these days - it's as if it can't be helped. The population badly needs educating about metabolic health! Thank you Dr. Rob Lustig!!!! I have learned so much from you, and I still am!
I've watched literally hundreds of hours of videos to learn all I can since I went carnivore in February and these two are two of the gems in the community and really look to help people above all else. It is noble work and I and my family are eternally grateful.
Basic physiology text book by Arthur Guyton, contains the real deal of metabolic health. What a staggeringly great book! Mine is an early 1980s edition. Thanks guys, love your work. Dear Dr Lustig, THANK YOU for your generosity in speaking with me when I sat behind you at the London event for John Yudkin's son's event. You were the main speaker, and you answered my questions with aplomb, generosity and great sense. Oh, and my goodness, you had a gorgeous suit on. Totally dapper!!
I wish my PCP would talk like these two but they do not. My PCP and dietition gave me bad advice that would keep me iabetics forever. They encourage me to eat high carbs meals and to eat many meals but told me not to spike up my blood glucose. What they wanted me to do cannot be done bc I did it for a month before I quit! I exercise to loss weight, reduce my glucose, and my A1C results by not following their dietary advice. Their advice actually hurts a lot of T2D worldwide and yet only a small portion of people are actually healing themselves without their pcp aids.
This should be required viewing for every overweight person. I kicked my sugar addiction and no longer desire the junk. No amount of “will power” can resist the bad food if you’re hooked on sugar. 95% of food i eat are whole/fresh foods I prepare at home - that is key. I’m 60yrs old, 6ft tall, 172lbs (down from 203lbs 8 months ago and down from all time high of 240lbs a decade ago)
Thank you for sharing, vegetarian 24 years, now keto carnivore and healthier now at 62 years old and weight was size 16 to a current size 4. Migraines gone, adrenal fatigue gone, cravings gone, metabolic issues under control. So happy to listen to your wisdom and truth!
OMG, the more I kow, the more I listen to, the more I believe we are living very challenge times where lies is predomint and profit is above everything. Very elucidative converation dear doctors. My gratitude.
Have always loved both you and Dr. Lustig. I like that both of you are down to earth and do not beat around the bush. Honesty beats ALL. I have just ordered Metabolical - some of my friends already have it. I was T2 Diabetic when I first started Keto - then transitioned to Carnivore. My A1c as of 1 wk ago was 5.3 after 6 mos of clean keto/carnivore. I thank Drs like you and Dr. Lustig, Dr. Cywes, Gary Taubes, and so many others, and credit you for my successful journey towards better health. My one concern is that I still have edema in my left ankle - I also still have another 30 pds to lose. Thank you so much Dr. Berry, Dr. Lustig and all of the others who are Doctors willing to buck the system.
I have both books. Great work Dr Berry and Dr Lustig 🙂 The books, and indeed this discussion, are worthy of re-read and re-listen several times over🙂 The food we eat is arguably the most powerful tool we as individuals have at our disposal to reach and maintain metabolic health and longevity. Whilst poor health may not have been our fault so far, our body is very much our responsibility now. Knowledge is power. Thank you both for your continued endeavours to spread the knowledge so that we can exercise informed choices over what we eat, and for the better.
Love this doctor! I've heard him speak numerous times and he is definitely right on target. I'm so grateful that there are doctors like the two of you who who standup to the system and tell the truth about the all lies we're being told regarding big food, big Pharma, and the big medical system which are profit based and not concerned with the health of people.
I just love videos like these where you bring in other “smart ass” doctors and just speak the truth! Thank you! I soak up all the info! Just bought metabolical on Audible..looking forward to listening to it!
Cool! It's August 4 exactly one year later. And for me, 65 pounds lighter and everything in my life healthier and happier. I followed keto - not even very precisely - and I went for walks and worked in the garden.
@@ArgentoRAWRz First fat adapt without intermittent. Only eat fats and protein and no-carb vegetables. That's gonna take some time with those addicted to carbs . Which is most people. They just don't realize it. So you'll be very hungry at times even though you are eating as much as you want. So best to be able to eat during this phase to satisfy cravings at least to some degree. When the cravings go away then slowly lessen your eating window. A 6 to 8 hour eating window appears to be the best for various reasons. Work your way slowly to this. The science seems to show the best window is morning to noonish feeding but this is hard for most people because of dinner sociality. My window is 12 to 7pm. Use low intensity exercise , non aerobic, exercise tactically. Best at the end of fasting period . Do this for some time. At the very least a few months. Then throw in an occasional long fast. At least 4 days to completely exhaust glycogen stores which happens at about 3 days. This compels the body to burn fat. Then back to intermittent and keto. It will become obvious when at some point in the process your body is switching between on-board food, fat, and consumed food. Hunger is no longer urgent. A seamless transition in other words starts to happen. But be patient. The typical westerner has never been without food for even a day. Their fat burning hardware is dormant and undeveloped. Constant insulin has never allowed the fat burning machinery to develop. The mitochondria have to be built up and the brown fat deposits have to be developed. It's pathetic when you think about it. There are other issues at play too regarding vegetable oil omegas stored in the cells that might be hard to get at metabolically. Be patient. It takes years for some to metabolize the stored vegetable omegas . And don't eat vegetable oils. Maybe worse than sugar for us. My brain actually runs much better on ketones and I prefer to be in ketosis so I often eat just once a day. But the science seems to show that's not ideal. 6 to 8 hour window appears best. I'm no expert or professional but I hope this leads you in the right direction. Do it. It will be the best thing you ever did for yourself .
Wow thanks for the long reply first off! I have currently started keto and intermittent loosely for about a week now. Mostly trying as u said to get used to fat no sugar no carbs or low carbs etc. I want to do that 12-7pm too! But the thing is im an artist. I have ubnormal for most ppl hours of sleep and work. And so far im just eating once till im full and properly. At least based on low carb and keto allowed food. (Recovering dark choc addict cause of my ex too cause before i met her i wasnt into sweets overall) *I keep editing my reply btw* My exercise usually is walking, nothing else. As for oils. I usually use olive oil as a Greek. Some sesame asian oil too. And now that ive started keto apart from this too thought i would incorporate coconut oil too. No other oil compels me to use. Ok maybe chilli oil and cilantro oil but made by me with a base of olive oil. Bacon oil sounds good too 😋
@@ArgentoRAWRz Sounds good. If you can handle intermittent already , great. Oils sound good. Don't be afraid of butter, lard and tallow, preferably grass fed. I hope you make it!
@@555Trout not sure if we have butter grassfed here but thanks! I guess ill have to ask! Did you got monitored by someone about your ketones and stuff and overall intakes in grams etc?
Watching the replay and shared. What a fantastic interview!! No BS here and totally honest. Calling out the villains and naming names! That’s why I love your channel Dr B!! Definitely worth rewatching! 👍🏼
Thank you for your video on metabolic & your hunger. I’m 66 and could never figure out why I couldn’t get my weight under control . It’s been a constant battle. Up and down my whole life. You opened my eyes. Then my Dr. tells me I’m a diabetic. Type 2. 🙏
Wish Doc Lustig could get the junk crap out of his hospital over in SF. (UCSF) Please get Ensure out of hospitals.... patients should not be drinking corn syrup Love this Doc and his bad ass serious demeanor on metabolic health 🎉
Talked to my Dr. today after having what now passes for a physical. I got all the tests that Dr. Lustig recommended in Metabolical. Results, total cholesterol 288, HDL 68, LDL 154, TG 53. I asked for an LDL-P but she told me it wasn't offered, my wife, in the next office over with the same group got it. TG/HDL ratio
I have learned a lot from these two Docs in the past 3 years or so. I always ate healthy mostly, thankfully, but I did not know just how harmful processed food was. I eat even more healthy now. I will soon be 62 and take no meds and never have! I share the dangers of processed foods with everyone who will listen. But when I talk about the bacteria in our gut, and how we need to protect it and feed it, and how our immune system depends on it, people look at me like I’m crazy!
Just bought this book today ..can’t wait to sit down and start reading….Dr’s like you two are a gift , giving out so much life changing, life saving information for no cost or minimal cost , just to help your fellow humans..thank- you from the bottom of my heart, you’ve changed my life 💗
I am a sugar addict; I've relapsed so many times. The cravings are unreal, like a Lil nagging voice in the back of my mind that becomes very loud at certain times. It's usually triggered by stress or pms. Really need another coping mechanism, lol, maybe more of these videos :)
Eat more of the other foods and keep the sugary food out of the house if you can. You know you'd be better off without them. If you're not a vegan get into a good steak and mushrooms or something if you get the craving. It'll wear off.
Totally get you!!! Same with me. Been strictly carnivore for 31 days, the cravings started out LOUD.. . progressively got softer as weeks passed. If I have a diet/sugar free soda- cravings start whispering in my ear again
Rda of sugar is 25grms.the average consumed per day is 74 grms...why ?: because too many Staple foods contain Added Sugar (not Fastfood , everyday ordinary foods).THIS is the problem.
@@susanmorgan4151 thanks for sharing that... I've just started carnivore...so glad to know the cravings will die. I'll be getting off the diet drinks.... really appreciate that tip.
All the sugary products that get advertised to me just here on RUclips is astounding. I think the reality is, if this knowledge went out to everyone everywhere, and was also taught by all doctors, the amount of bad food industry that would be at risk of collapse would be biblical.
The knowledge has been available and out there for a long time. It's easier to find than ever with the internet. I propose going farther than spreading knowledge (and hoping and praying). We have to unite in a grassroots effort to bring down the food industry and the corrupt politicians who support them. The heads of these corporations need to be in jail for crimes against humanity.

Had my physical yesterday along with blood work. The doctor said “ you are doing great, we have nothing to talk about, thanks for coming, have a great day”. This wasn’t the case 2 years ago before keto when I was 52 years old and 85 pounds overweight. Thanks to all my health heroes who walked me through this and educated the living “hell” out of me.
Congratulations 🎊
Good for you, man! Similar story here, but you passed me by a long shot.
“Can’t make money here! Move along. Next…….”
Great job! I am so happy to see that such people like Dr. Lustig and Dr. Berry and others help people to find themselves. All information is here, available, free. We are so lucky that we can hear them speak and educate us. The things people learn - they would be educating their doctors.
I'd bet that doctor had nothing to do with your progress
Instead of "Heart Healthy" labels on crap food we need "Dr. Lustig Approved" on real food.
Amen!
Or not eating anything with a label at all.
You don't need "Lustig Approved." Here's the better answer. If it comes in a jar, bottle, bag. wrapper, carton or can don't eat it.
He approves of beer, refuses to share what he eats and looks a bit fluffy. Not sure he takes his own advice, but he is a charmer 😎
I wish I’d buy it .
Dr. Berry. You do medicine like i did engineering for 42 years. You listen, you talk, and you're not intimidated in the least by having someone like Dr. Lustig on to listen to and allow him to impart his knowledge and wisdom.
I noticed your uncharacteristic silence, and as an ex professional i immediately recognized it as a learning experience for you as well as your audience. My compliments sir. This session spoke volumes to me about you.
I'm an avid follower of your videos every week, 4 1/2 years ketovore, down 70 lbs. Type 2 reversed. I'm in your debt.
@@rodericksibelius8472 go look up David Feldman. He is an engineer that got into this field.
Dr L is significantly overweight. I always wonder why?
Good observation
@@marciamakoviecki3295 really? We can only see his head and shoulders. Using your logic, I could say you look significantly overweight from your profile pic
It was unbelievable to me when I saw what my ex-husband was being fed and the information he was given in the hospital and in a rehab facility after his bypass surgery last month. He's diabetic to the point of needing insulin injections, and they were feeding him high carb, high sugar junk and the advice was what we knew was wrong 30 years ago - egg whites, margarine, seed oils, grains and a harsh limit on red meat. It was malpractice on steroids.
🇨🇦 same here
Needs to stop ❣
Wow this is so crazy! A place that is meant to help people is where they serve the junk that will in fact kill them slowly.
🤢🤮🤮 that's terrible
When my diabetic brother was in the hospital, he was given 100 g of carbs at EACH meal…it was printed on his dietary menu that arrived with the meals! The meals were generally “white” with starchy carbs and a little bit of protein. Stunning to see that there is still no improvement in the hospital settings (and other healthcare facilities) when it comes to food for patients.
I'm 65yrs now & that's why the thought of being forced to live in a nursing facility scares me to death. You no longer have any control over what you eat & they administer medications that are not needed. When my mother was living they had her taking pills that she couldn't even tell me what they wer for. And never got a clear answer frm the staff. I think they wer just padding the bill to Medicare with unnecessary medications. Wish she'd never gone in that place.
Dr Lustig's talk "Sugar: the bitter truth" started me on my low-carb/keto journey, and Dr Berry has helped me keep on track. Thank you both!
Exactly the same to me. I read around to find out how I got joints hurt. Then I found out the video "Sugar the bitter truth" I believed 100% and I started low carb diet. losing weight and get a lot healthier. Just stop eating sweet, stop adding any sugar in the food, drink, or sugar added drink, soda pop...Eating whole food, eating healthy is the main key for happy life.
@@trannga2625 I also found that joint aches and pains disappeared. Another benefit of the low-carb/keto diet!
@@SharonFoster852 You too. Yeah, It is all inflammation and sugar cause high insulin. High Insulin long time will lead to inflammation.
That was a turning point for me, too.
Me too! Exactly the same thing‼️💯
At least in the grocery stores we still have some choices.
Look at the food served in hospitals, nursing homes, etc. It's absolutely atrocious what sick people are being fed.
Not as many as you think... you can only choose from what they want you to choose from
So true! I am terrified to end up in a nursing home not just because I am low carb, but it looks so gross! Lol
As s visitor in a HOSPITAL I couldn't believe all the vending machines full of soooo much junk food and sugary beverages. It's atrocious!!!!
It is abuse.
Even worse is what family members bring in, as well as what the patient’s have delivered. The volume of food stored in one patient’s hospital room is disgusting.
Hi from Germany. I’m a recovering addict from sugar, drugs and alcohol. I feel amazing.
And look AMAZING too!!
Congratulations! 🎉❤🙏
Congratulations!
Hi ‘Guten Tag’ from Germany, too. I come from sugar, and pleasure lifestyle, which is similar. First I learned from Dr. L about how sugar hacks my liver/brain🧠 , then also how pleasure hacks my brain. Now I can go for a walk in the park and deeply enjoy it. Channels like Dr. Berry’s are life saving I thank God for all of You ❤
‘Bitter Truth’ started my Low Carb Journey. Just doing my prerequisites for my Masters then my PhD in low Carb Clinical Nutrition! Thank you Dr Lustig! You are indeed a giant!
You will start the new generation of Nutrition. Thank you, Carolyn, for being a trailblazer!
I’m in Australia which is not as Low Carb advanced in education. I’m studying with PreKure NZ; then Auckland University. They are fantastic!
Wow!! Congratulations 🤩 l hope you lead lots of people to health!!
There's a such thing as LowCarb Clinical Nutrition? That's great to hear!
Same with me! That very video started me on the right path too.
Metabolical is awesomeness. Lustig for U.S. Surgeon General
The government is to corrupt for honest doctors like him.
@@TheGreenlove87 That is indeed the sad truth. However, I think his work will ultimately have a greater impact on nutrition than any government official ultimately will have. I love listening to him; he is clear and concise, and does not mince his words.
@Cyril I have always been against all the Middle Eastern wars. Everybody deserves peace and prosperity. You live by the sword you die by the sword so yes we will get ours soon.
YES!🇺🇸
"You fix the biochemistry, you fix the behaviour." Yes!!! Absolutely. I only overcame bulimia after keto/carnivore.
Awe...TYSM for sharing and your willingness to be vulnerable in your personal story! Your truth literally has restored my hope and brought an excitement to really pursue the keto/carnivore diet! 💕❤
You have been BLESSED, pass it forward!
I found Dr Berry after listen to a lecture he gave started my healing journey. I can't thank him enough.
me too! same order! 😄
Me 3! I found Dr. Ekberg first though. I watch Dr. Berry regularly.
Thank God for Truth Warriors!
Somewhere around 4 months ago I cut out the majority of sugar and processed carbs from my diet. About a month ago I started using a diet tracking app on my phone. Following the app I drastically changed my consumption of fats. Now 75% of my calories I consume as fat. My blood sugar has dropped drastically while my weight has dropped from 270 pounds to 245 pounds. My goal is to reach 215 pounds. I want to be able to completely stop taking blood pressure and diabetes medication completely. My question is how can I find an Endocrinologist and/or Cardiologist who is not dogmatic about fat and sugar and can provide guidance as I (hopefully) wean myself from these meds?
@@MrBeknit Dr Ovadia is a cardiologist you can find online who might be able to help you
Dr berry is great at interviewing, does his research and asks good questions, and allows his guest to talk.
I feel he interrupts too much! I wish he'd simmer down a bit and let the guest make his point before he does.
I love Dr. Berry’s enthusiasm, sincerity, and dedication to promote health and healing. A powerhouse video with Dr. Lustig! Many thanks for the continuing education.
Dr. Lustig is a giant in the field of proper nutrition. Thank you Dr. Berry for putting Dr. Lustig on. Dr. Lustig, thank you!
Dr Lustig is so passionate, he loves teaching and spreading the word on how bad sugar and processed foods are. Thank you both, it’s a great talk. 😉
Watching Dr. Berry fan-doctoring over Dr. Lustig is the highlight of my day!!
Love and admire you both beyond measure! 💜💜💜
I took a biology beginners at Ryerson University back in 1992. The professor opened the classroom with this statement that hooked me into what you guys are discussing in this video : She said - " If you understand how a a single cell of the body works you can understand the entire universe .. " .. been on the healing health path since.
Wow.❤️
It is worth repeating that quote. "If you understand how a single cell of the body works you can understand the entire universe."
Its a start. Chemistry and Physics is how it all functions.
Why we exist and what for? Head over to Philosophy. 😁
Well, based off that information not one doctor and the cancer facilities understand what the cell and a broken mitochondria is because we are giving people the wrong treatment to get rid of cancer and it’s a money pit and it’s sad that we are losing 1600 people a day just in America to cancer so these other people can get rich it’s a disgrace and it needs to change
Lustig was one of my attending physicians at UCSF in the 90’s when I was a pediatric resident. I recall med students and resident thinking is was a bit whacky. Clearly he knew what he was talking about.
Wise indeed is the doctor who can freely admit "I was wrong but I am learning now" 💖
Thank You Dr Ken Berry for hold down your anger to allow Dr Robert Lustig to talk. We all should be angry with big food companies that profit over lives.
Dr. Lusting you are GENIUS and blessing to society.
Thank you
As a retired Emergency Room physician I have seen the aftermath of what you gentlemen are discussing. Thanks for educating everyone and I have the most respect for you and Dr. Lustig who in my opinion is a genius. I will pass on your message to as many people as I can and will order the book. Tom Kowalak, MD
"I'm not anti dessert, I'm for dessert but not dessert breakfast, lunch supper. Dessert once a week and make it the best freaking dessert!" This in my opinion is a very powerful statement. Disease doesn't start with one bad meal, its starts with a thousand.lets wake up and stop eating dessert 21 times a week!
Limit mine to holidays then under 20gms Keto. Carnivore the rest of the year. All sorts of special keto desserts out there. A bowel of cheesy broccoli is a special dessert if you’re Carnivoe. 125 lbs step racer 8-12 miles per day 5’7” light weights upper body . This month 79 year old.
@@lynnwilliams5432 I think the point is that not everyone can do that. Personally, I would miss vegetables and fruit. What is so great about this video is that it welcomes a spectrum of approaches from super strict to manageable daily changes. I think it is great b/c you the more people off processed food - the better!!!
@@Galworld761 One thing I have done the last few years is to eat fruit only when it is in season, not trucked in from thousands of miles. Like dessert it is a treat not an everyday occurrence. It has helped me cut back. Fruit is natures candy. When you check your levels and see how much fruit spikes your sugar levels you look at it differently.
@@lynnwilliams5432
A bowel??? I know it's a mistake ☺
@@skinnydee1886 bowl sorry to confuse…..
I quit alcohol 4 months ago. no problem. I dont miss it. Now I am hit with the extreme need for sugar. I never before have had such a battle. Cookies, pie, icecream and raw honey. I will be watching this video until I have it memorised. Thank you!
Eldon... I just recently started keto and IF and headed towards carnivore and had a sweet craving today after a steak...so I had nothing for this problem sooooo I whipped up coconut flour with alot of organic butter , heavy cream, raw egg, organic coconut powder and threw in some walnuts and quite a few drops of stevia. It was okay but cured my craving and 2 he later checked urine for ketones and lots like I was still in ketosis ❗ so I am back on track and trucking on with healing myself. Hope this true story helped someone 🍀🕊️🌹💗
@@tootienottoofruitie1726 I just watched this video again. I'm serious about this. I now recognize my sugar addiction. The Vegas nerve is my focus and thru watching this video I practiced breathing excercising for the vegas nerve. I hope by these excercising I can beat this sugar addiction. I'm keto-carnivore fasting 18 hour a day.
@@eldonmontgomery2465 Good for you. For me, a x sugar holic shortly after I stopped sugar in any form I did stop craving it... very much like an alcoholic, but I feel that I have to know that once a sugar holic, always a sugar holic,.

I cook everything I eat, very little grains, no sugar, no seed oils, grass fed, pastured raised, wild caught, organic
I’ve been low carb and intermittent fasting for 3 years and I no longer have a problem with hunger. After you change your habits, it’s easy. It’s hard for the first 3 weeks, after that gets easier and easier.
I’ve been on no carb. I’m in my 5th week and I’m fighting hunger everyday. It’s hell. I won’t give up but I’m constantly hungry. It’s really hard.
@@ladyluck5248 No carb? Not even 20 a day? You know you can make a delicious keto cheesecake, cauliflower mash with butter is wonderful, and of course there’s meat or a nice cheese omelet with salsa. I guess one of the key things is that you have to cook if you want to eat satisfying food. Also staying busy is really important. Hunger comes in waves, so if you distract yourself for a few minutes it should go away for a while.
@@ladyluck5248 the best diet is one way you can stick to. You don’t need to go hard core right out the gate. I can’t do no carb- I feel awful and I am hungry. So I eat veggies. The one constant is no processed food or added sugar.
Carbs are the body's fuel!! Going extreme will make more harm. Balance is key, and 'listening' to your body.
Carbs are not the only fuel. Ketones are the body’s most consistent fuel. Carbs/glucose are the first fuel your body will go through but ketones are actually the stable fuel. What does your brain run on? Ketones. I’m now on a zero carb diet and it’s been better for me than the low carb dirty keto with fiber, fake sugars, or even veggie carbs. Do your research before you start claiming carbs are the bodies fuel and also do your research to understand that you body’s “balance” isn’t the same as someone else’s
Awesome! Like Dr Berry said, Dr Lustig is a giant! This was a great surprise interview and I will have to go back and watch it again!
I want to give this hundreds of thumbs up. Thank you Dr Berry and Dr Lustig.
When I saw this pop up in my notifications I was absolutely psyched to watch their exchange. Dr Lustig is one of the doctors that first opened my eyes to the dangers of processed foods and sugar. Even after losing 100 lbs eating "healthy" I never understood the food industry in general until watching his lectures. After years and years I finally figured out why people said that weight loss and health is 80 percent diet and 20 percent exercise. My outlook on food has completely changed because of doctors like Dr lustig, Dr berry, Dr berg, and Dr Fung.

Dr. Berry, Great Credibility, your best interview to date. This is Nobel Award material. Big food and pharmaceutical will try and bury this information.
2 brilliant healers together. Finding just one in this world can be a challenge! Thankyou thankyou!
This is the best & most important video on the internet.
I have been keto 10 years & kept 25 lbs off the whole time. I am a life long learner especially love the topics discussed here. Love Dr B and Dr Lustig, Westman, Cywes, Richard K Bernstein. All an inspiration!
Love Dr Lusting, he saved my life!!! What a courageous man!
I knew a woman who had cancer and her oncologist told her that our hearts and brains need sugar to function. She went home and made cookies every day and her cancer grew so fast. She passed away in just 6 months.
Omg. I had a client with breast cancer stage 4 who had 6 months to live and then went keto and is still alive today 3 years later. Tumors have not grown.
That oncologist needs during because no carbohydrate is essential..including sugar. What a Charleton
That is so outrageous, it’s hard to believe that doctor didn’t know they were lying.
So sorry for your loss 💔 😢 ..I also lost a dear friend last june to cancer..after his kemo treatments ( at a well known hospital) they fed him full of sugar ... so wish I would of known then what I know now. 🙏🙏🙏
At the oncology office my mom went to always had a table full of candy, sweet rolls. Some doctors are so ignorant. Either that or they just don't care.
Dr. Lustig is HUGE, has the most important message for the world!
In his book, "Fat Chance", Dr. Lustig said that our food must match our biochemistry. That's about all we need to know. Sugar does not match our biochemistry in that it is an anti-nutrient.
Yes 👏 There is no general awareness on oral drugs which are ‘firm’. Only liquids like alcohol have awareness, maybe because ‘aggressive, behaviour has bad reputation. Though depressive and energy-less behaviour is unwelcome in society, as long as it doesn’t *disturb* anyone, then nobody cares, right?
Because we don’t really care for each other but we should! Together we are *strong*
🙏❤️🩹🙏
Wow, 22 tsp of sugar/day. I have been carnivore since Dec 1, 2022. I am down from 205 to 157 and aiming for 140. My body still hurts but my fasting insulin was still 8.8 at beginning of Feb even though I did not intentionally have sugar. Little did I know that rotisserie chicken is soaked in sugar solution of some kind. I dealt with a 40 pt elevated BG eight hrs after I ate it. This was crazy! Even my dog won’t eat the chicken the next day. She sniffs it and walks away. My philosophy is if she won’t eat it then I probably shouldn’t either. I have friends that say I have a lot more willpower than they do, but I disagree. I have felt like crud most of my life. I can say that I have felt really good for about three weeks of my entire life. Willpower? No. It is a choice, and I choose not to be diabetic and on insulin. Thanks so much for this detailed breakdown on sugar. I am currently on a Dr Lustig video marathon.
I gotta get me a dog 😁
My cat won't eat it either.
I hope you got a dog. I’ve been relying on one of mine for several years. I just thought she was a cheese snob, but she turns her nose up at certain deli meats, and a number of other things.
I first noticed that she would have nothing to do with American cheese, Velveeta, mozzarella, Brie, Muenster, and provolone. Then it was different bologna, mortadella, and ham curings. Weird that pepperoni and salami and liverwurst are ok … so, I’ve followed her lead.
Same can be said of many veggies. Fruit is absolutely a fuggetaboutit food. She turns her nose up at the really bad stuff for dogs… nuts, seeds, raw onions, chocolate, bread.
Kinda weird but I had two other dogs that were true omnivores. Both loved carrots, peas, corn out of the garden. Both stole melons and watermelons when they were ripe. Go figure as both were Norwegian Elkhounds.
My mixed mutts now are about as good as it gets. I eat like them for the most part and they are on a raw diet. I just cook my meats as rare as possible and eat only veggies I grow. Fruit is about nonexistent except for raspberries I grow and blueberries from a friend.
Btw… the animal with a digestive tract most similar to humans are dogs. Not chimps, gorillas, bonobos or any other primates or mammals. We definitely evolved together for 10’s of thousands of years. They have just a bit more stomach acid to dissolve bones, kill salmonella and ecoli and other bacteria. Makes me wonder when humans peaked.
Last note… raw diet for dogs … poop is not stinky and doesn’t stick much to your shoe if stepped on and dries up quickly and turns white bcz of the bones and ground eggshells.
Make the most of this guys given what's going on in the world soon freespeech & discussion that benefits you genuinely will not be allowed.
These doctors helped me regain my health so I could regain my LIFE! Much respect to both of you!
I got the book and one for my doctor...makes my head spin and I am SO glad to have found you Dr. Berry and now to know about and find Dr. Lustig...you guys are saving our lives...THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Along with Dr Jason Fung, my three favourites Doctors. I love listening to these men.
Dr Berry, Thank you so much for interviewing Dr Lustig. His research studies are phenomenal.
The fact that refined sugar actually has an RDA says that they recommend it. This tells you all you need to know. I guess next they will put the RDA of vodka.
They basically DID, when, during the initial lockdown of the so-called "Pandemic", some states closed-down the gyms, but kept the liquor stores open, since alcohol "is essential to alcoholics", who "could die if alcohol is not available". I actually heard this on the news - not a trace of irony or disbelief or disapproval in the Reporter's presentation.
Alcohol withdrawal can be lethal@@megaswenson
Thanks for having Dr. Lustig on and for him being willing to participate. We have followed Dr. Lustig for years. We look to you for daily reminders and inspiration and knowledge to keep us on the right path.
Dr Robert Lustig does not beat around the bush and is a learned professor highly respected all round the world thank you Dr Ken Berry from Johannesburg South Africa 🇿🇦
Ketovore some days, Carnivore others and loving it! I'm in the midst of a trial on Ozempic (not Wegovy, but lower dose semaglutide.) I'm morbidly obese and the med is just a temporary boost to get me over the hump with insulin resistance. It's helping to ease me naturally into IF. I'm sick and tired of health coaches and nutritionists pushing me towards whole grains, low fat, low salt.
Good luck! You’re going in the right direction ♥️

Thank you Dr. Berry for having Robert Lustig on your Live RUclips. I highly respect him, and I think more people need to hear about this stuff.
Robert Lustig is my new hero!!! After 8 years of carnivore, I don't often hear truly new information and perspectives, but this guy is it. And I am grateful the wonderful Dr.Berry has introduced him.
Love the REAL talk. No “sugar coating” it. 🎉🍾 Thank you!
😂
Loved all Dr. Lustig's books, especially Metabolical. From Wellington Colorado.
It's really strange that I saw an interview earlier today with Dr. Lustig, was thoroughly impressed and thought how remarkable it would be to introduce him to Dr. Berry, and here they are. Two great Doctors chatting about real health.
Every body on this planet needs to listen to this. Thank you so much Dr.Lustig & Dr.Berry
You guys need a show!!! Such brilliance. I wish there was a Lustig/Berry module on the curriculum in every pre-school, school and university on the planet!!! This information is like landing in a parallel universe like “The Upsidedown” in Stranger Things!!!! Like none of us know about it, but it’s running alongside our calorie driven high carb universe where we are all sick and dying!!! Thank you a thousand times gentlemen!!! ❤❤
Great talk.. thanks Dr Berry and Dr Lustig for such a great discussion
Reading Metabolical right now. Wonderful education and inspiration. Love it.
I LOVE him, been watching his talks for 2 weeks on my daily walks!
I live in New Zealand. Although the supermarket shelves are full to overflowing, there is very little 'food' there. Many of the products have a shelf-life of up to three years, with about 20+ ingredients written on the packaging [OMG!]. Even in the fresh vege department the vast majority is non-organic, but it's by far the better option compared with all the packaged stuff. Nearly everyone in NZ buys their groceries from a supermarket. Trolleys are full of soft drinks, snacks, white bread, biscuits, etc, etc. No wonder sickness is so widespread. Being sick is so normalized these days - it's as if it can't be helped. The population badly needs educating about metabolic health! Thank you Dr. Rob Lustig!!!! I have learned so much from you, and I still am!
I've watched literally hundreds of hours of videos to learn all I can since I went carnivore in February and these two are two of the gems in the community and really look to help people above all else. It is noble work and I and my family are eternally grateful.
Are you still carnivore??
Great guest today Dr. Berry! Thank you for such an educational lesson!👍⚕
Basic physiology text book by Arthur Guyton, contains the real deal of metabolic health. What a staggeringly great book! Mine is an early 1980s edition.
Thanks guys, love your work.
Dear Dr Lustig, THANK YOU for your generosity in speaking with me when I sat behind you at the London event for John Yudkin's son's event. You were the main speaker, and you answered my questions with aplomb, generosity and great sense. Oh, and my goodness, you had a gorgeous suit on. Totally dapper!!
Basic or Medical Physiology? Looking now...
Nice to see Robert Lustig on your channel.
These doctors are the real deal. They are true doctors who serve the people with honesty and truthfulness!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️✊🏼✊🏼💯💯💯🌹🌹
I wish my PCP would talk like these two but they do not. My PCP and dietition gave me bad advice that would keep me iabetics forever. They encourage me to eat high carbs meals and to eat many meals but told me not to spike up my blood glucose. What they wanted me to do cannot be done bc I did it for a month before I quit! I exercise to loss weight, reduce my glucose, and my A1C results by not following their dietary advice. Their advice actually hurts a lot of T2D worldwide and yet only a small portion of people are actually healing themselves without their pcp aids.
Yet Lustig is very overweight...why?
This should be required viewing for every overweight person. I kicked my sugar addiction and no longer desire the junk. No amount of “will power” can resist the bad food if you’re hooked on sugar. 95% of food i eat are whole/fresh foods I prepare at home - that is key. I’m 60yrs old, 6ft tall, 172lbs (down from 203lbs 8 months ago and down from all time high of 240lbs a decade ago)
Thank you for sharing, vegetarian 24 years, now keto carnivore and healthier now at 62 years old and weight was size 16 to a current size 4. Migraines gone, adrenal fatigue gone, cravings gone, metabolic issues under control. So happy to listen to your wisdom and truth!
OMG, the more I kow, the more I listen to, the more I believe we are living very challenge times where lies is predomint and profit is above everything. Very elucidative converation dear doctors. My gratitude.
I'm speechless. EXCELLENT. Life changing (again). I'm IN to shift the tide. Thank you, Drs Berry and Lustig. Nobels for you both!
Have always loved both you and Dr. Lustig. I like that both of you are down to earth and do not beat around the bush. Honesty beats ALL. I have just ordered Metabolical - some of my friends already have it. I was T2 Diabetic when I first started Keto - then transitioned to Carnivore. My A1c as of 1 wk ago was 5.3 after 6 mos of clean keto/carnivore. I thank Drs like you and Dr. Lustig, Dr. Cywes, Gary Taubes, and so many others, and credit you for my successful journey towards better health. My one concern is that I still have edema in my left ankle - I also still have another 30 pds to lose. Thank you so much Dr. Berry, Dr. Lustig and all of the others who are Doctors willing to buck the system.
Congratulations and keep up the great work!
I have both books. Great work Dr Berry and Dr Lustig 🙂 The books, and indeed this discussion, are worthy of re-read and re-listen several times over🙂 The food we eat is arguably the most powerful tool we as individuals have at our disposal to reach and maintain metabolic health and longevity. Whilst poor health may not have been our fault so far, our body is very much our responsibility now. Knowledge is power. Thank you both for your continued endeavours to spread the knowledge so that we can exercise informed choices over what we eat, and for the better.
Love this doctor! I've heard him speak numerous times and he is definitely right on target. I'm so grateful that there are doctors like the two of you who who standup to the system and tell the truth about the all lies we're being told regarding big food, big Pharma, and the big medical system which are profit based and not concerned with the health of people.
Dr Lustig is amazing. Have his books. He is doing more for humanity than anyone I know.
I just love videos like these where you bring in other “smart ass” doctors and just speak the truth! Thank you! I soak up all the info! Just bought metabolical on Audible..looking forward to listening to it!
Another amazing interview dr. Berry, thanks for bringing dr. Lustig to your channel💜
absolutely fantastic as usual Dr lustig and Dr John Yudkin trying to fight demonic greed of food and pharmacy industry please keep up the good fight
Cool! It's August 4 exactly one year later. And for me, 65 pounds lighter and everything in my life healthier and happier. I followed keto - not even very precisely - and I went for walks and worked in the garden.
Becoming metabolically flexible is the most amazing thing I've ever done.
how?just keto and intermittent?
@@ArgentoRAWRz
First fat adapt without intermittent. Only eat fats and protein and no-carb vegetables. That's gonna take some time with those addicted to carbs . Which is most people. They just don't realize it. So you'll be very hungry at times even though you are eating as much as you want. So best to be able to eat during this phase to satisfy cravings at least to some degree.
When the cravings go away then slowly lessen your eating window. A 6 to 8 hour eating window appears to be the best for various reasons. Work your way slowly to this.
The science seems to show the best window is morning to noonish feeding but this is hard for most people because of dinner sociality. My window is 12 to 7pm.
Use low intensity exercise , non aerobic, exercise tactically. Best at the end of fasting period .
Do this for some time. At the very least a few months.
Then throw in an occasional long fast. At least 4 days to completely exhaust glycogen stores which happens at about 3 days. This compels the body to burn fat.
Then back to intermittent and keto.
It will become obvious when at some point in the process your body is switching between on-board food, fat, and consumed food. Hunger is no longer urgent. A seamless transition in other words starts to happen.
But be patient. The typical westerner has never been without food for even a day. Their fat burning hardware is dormant and undeveloped. Constant insulin has never allowed the fat burning machinery to develop. The mitochondria have to be built up and the brown fat deposits have to be developed. It's pathetic when you think about it.
There are other issues at play too regarding vegetable oil omegas stored in the cells that might be hard to get at metabolically. Be patient. It takes years for some to metabolize the stored vegetable omegas .
And don't eat vegetable oils. Maybe worse than sugar for us.
My brain actually runs much better on ketones and I prefer to be in ketosis so I often eat just once a day. But the science seems to show that's not ideal. 6 to 8 hour window appears best.
I'm no expert or professional but I hope this leads you in the right direction. Do it. It will be the best thing you ever did for yourself .
Wow thanks for the long reply first off! I have currently started keto and intermittent loosely for about a week now. Mostly trying as u said to get used to fat no sugar no carbs or low carbs etc.
I want to do that 12-7pm too! But the thing is im an artist. I have ubnormal for most ppl hours of sleep and work. And so far im just eating once till im full and properly. At least based on low carb and keto allowed food. (Recovering dark choc addict cause of my ex too cause before i met her i wasnt into sweets overall)
*I keep editing my reply btw*
My exercise usually is walking, nothing else.
As for oils. I usually use olive oil as a Greek. Some sesame asian oil too. And now that ive started keto apart from this too thought i would incorporate coconut oil too. No other oil compels me to use. Ok maybe chilli oil and cilantro oil but made by me with a base of olive oil. Bacon oil sounds good too 😋
@@ArgentoRAWRz Sounds good. If you can handle intermittent already , great.
Oils sound good. Don't be afraid of butter, lard and tallow, preferably grass fed.
I hope you make it!
@@555Trout not sure if we have butter grassfed here but thanks! I guess ill have to ask! Did you got monitored by someone about your ketones and stuff and overall intakes in grams etc?
Watching the replay and shared. What a fantastic interview!! No BS here and totally honest. Calling out the villains and naming names! That’s why I love your channel Dr B!! Definitely worth rewatching! 👍🏼
Dr Berry thanks for introducing Dr Lustig to me. I just ordered his Metabolical book.
Thank you for your video on metabolic & your hunger. I’m 66 and could never figure out why I couldn’t get my weight under control . It’s been a constant battle. Up and down my whole life. You opened my eyes. Then my Dr. tells me I’m a diabetic. Type 2. 🙏
Wish Doc Lustig could get the junk crap out of his hospital over in SF. (UCSF)
Please get Ensure out of hospitals.... patients should not be drinking corn syrup
Love this Doc and his bad ass serious demeanor on metabolic health 🎉
That just goes to show what an uphill change is
How about the first thing listed in baby formula is corn syrup!!!!
If THEY REMOVED ALL THE PROCESSED FOODS IN THE GROCERY STORES, GROCERY STORES WOULD BE 1/3 THE SIZE.
Talked to my Dr. today after having what now passes for a physical. I got all the tests that Dr. Lustig recommended in Metabolical. Results, total cholesterol 288, HDL 68, LDL 154, TG 53. I asked for an LDL-P but she told me it wasn't offered, my wife, in the next office over with the same group got it. TG/HDL ratio
Friggin love both of these guy's and don't forget The Fung !
I have learned a lot from these two Docs in the past 3 years or so. I always ate healthy mostly, thankfully, but I did not know just how harmful processed food was. I eat even more healthy now. I will soon be 62 and take no meds and never have! I share the dangers of processed foods with everyone who will listen. But when I talk about the bacteria in our gut, and how we need to protect it and feed it, and how our immune system depends on it, people look at me like I’m crazy!
This is iconic! These two don't play around.
Just bought this book today ..can’t wait to sit down and start reading….Dr’s like you two are a gift , giving out so much life changing, life saving information for no cost or minimal cost , just to help your fellow humans..thank- you from the bottom of my heart, you’ve changed my life 💗
I am a sugar addict; I've relapsed so many times. The cravings are unreal, like a Lil nagging voice in the back of my mind that becomes very loud at certain times. It's usually triggered by stress or pms. Really need another coping mechanism, lol, maybe more of these videos :)
You are certainly not alone. We can do this together and support each other.
Eat more of the other foods and keep the sugary food out of the house if you can. You know you'd be better off without them. If you're not a vegan get into a good steak and mushrooms or something if you get the craving. It'll wear off.
Totally get you!!!
Same with me. Been strictly carnivore for 31 days, the cravings started out LOUD.. . progressively got softer as weeks passed. If I have a diet/sugar free soda- cravings start whispering in my ear again
Rda of sugar is 25grms.the average consumed per day is 74 grms...why ?: because too many Staple foods contain Added Sugar (not Fastfood , everyday ordinary foods).THIS is the problem.
@@susanmorgan4151 thanks for sharing that... I've just started carnivore...so glad to know the cravings will die. I'll be getting off the diet drinks.... really appreciate that tip.
Have purchased the book, currently reading, LOVE the science AND the Biblical references. Thank you Dr. Lustig and Dr. Berry
All the sugary products that get advertised to me just here on RUclips is astounding. I think the reality is, if this knowledge went out to everyone everywhere, and was also taught by all doctors, the amount of bad food industry that would be at risk of collapse would be biblical.
The knowledge has been available and out there for a long time. It's easier to find than ever with the internet. I propose going farther than spreading knowledge (and hoping and praying). We have to unite in a grassroots effort to bring down the food industry and the corrupt politicians who support them. The heads of these corporations need to be in jail for crimes against humanity.
I stopped getting adverts about 6 months ago. No idea why.
