Why do you think that is a joke? Several other research reviews charge significantly more than that, up to $30 per month. I’m curious as to why you think it’s a ‘joke’. Do you have a job? Do you work for free?
@@biolayne1 because I would never pay for this. And I would never pay for the others either. Just because you put hard work into it doesn't mean people will pay for it. People have enough monthly payments. Not to mention you said it yourself. Who am I supposed to believe layne!? Well for 12.99 a month you can rest assured mine is right!? For me it made me laugh so for me "It felt like a joke". Maybe for others they will pay. Good luck.
I’m a professional chef. We don’t serve you bread so you eat more. We serve you bread so you don’t notice how much time is gone by because when people come in and they’re already hungry make time to get pissed off waiting for their food. It’s not rocket science, It’s just bread.
well and because it’s cheap, nonetheless some better alternatives might be some berries, some beef jerky, some olives. Would love to see that over bread a million times. But yeah, much more expensive.
I whole heartedly believed this guy when my anxiety got out of control. You sir have tied a string to my foot and pulled me back down to reality. I appreciate all of you videos!
@@nandoxus I have a friend who ate Rare Beef Steaks before and now does Vegetarian Keto Diet... Because of a-holes like Berg... I was also doing all kinds of crappy diets before... Ended up becoming overweight because was sick of all the restrictions. For 2 year have been doing flexible dieting, counting calories, eating bread ,pancakes, burgers and lost 20 kgs and keep them off... Thanks to Layne, Gregg, Will and many others...
@@bachvarovalexander Yuh me too. Currently on a McDonald's binge after 8 years of restrictive dieting. Just now starting to eat whole omnivore foods again. Not gonna track. I'll just skip a meal if I feel I'm not hungry. Thats a better way to lose weight without being restrictive and counting calories.
I have to say I did follow Dr Berg with his keto advice and lost 15 kg in 3 months. I was very strict with myself and it worked. I was also tracking my calories, eating at my BMR. Because it worked I thought keto was the one and only. But then after a while, I became a bit adventurous, thinking "well, let's try the other diets, even if I bounce back, i could just stop and get back to keto and so on." So, I switched to higher carb and protein intake (coz I started working out too) and I didn't gain any of my weight back. I think what keto did for me is it helped me avoid all the processed food and stuff… which in terms helped me control my calorie intake. I avoided instant noodle, bubble tea, sugar-loaded foods and so on. So I've come to the conclusion that to lose weight you just need to eat healthy and watch your calories.
You’re correct, but saying that doesn’t creat wealth because it’s not hyperbolic enough to …and Dr. Berg is worth around 10M (I looked it up. One est is over 11M)
That's one of the very first things they teach you in toxicology, even at the most rudimentary level. Eric Berg has a unique ability to come across as measured and deliberate overlayed with fatherly assurance all the while pedaling oversimplified rubbish. Whether this is intentional or not, it is still damaging
I mean, it is the same old story. A guy grows up, his mom makes him a sandwich. He ends up homeless living under a bridge. I’ve see it a million times.
Really appreciate the calmer, more detailed style of this video compared to other “what the fitness” videos. I feel like I learned a lot more. Please keep this up!
this was calmer? OMG - now i have to see his other videos 🤓 For me the way he did that video was very disrespectful - regardles how wrong dr Berg or nayone could be....
Disrespectful... You cant be disrespectful of a charlatan. The guys a snake oil salesman. Hes full of shit and needs to be taken off media. Godsake. Disrespectful what a joke.

@@JTguitarlessons so, what is your point? Some people have a problem over consuming bread, some sugar, others alcohol. Or do you not believe that is a thing?
That's why I stopped exercising. I felt too good afterwards with all those endorphins. It's a slippery slope. You start hitting the gym and feeling better and then pretty soon you need a bigger hit, and then a bigger hit, pretty soon you're homeless in the gutter addicted to heroin.
I used to believe this clown (Eric Berg) and was miserable on keto, but was convinced it was the only way to get lean. Then I found you, Layne. Thank you for everything!
His audience consist 90% of sick, overweight, never exercise middle aged-older individuals who are literally clueless on nutrition and don't want to take the time to do even the simplest independent research.
While most people who listen to this doctor will roll their eyes, there are plenty of people who are going OMG yes this is so true. It’s playing right into their confirmation bias. It’s truly frightening.
I got family members who fall into that category, it really is frightening what they believe. They think the reason I'm so skinny is cause I did keto for a bit last year...and I never gained the weight back despite the fact that I haven't been on that diet at all, but they ignore that.
@ΗΛΙΑΣ ΛΕΓΚΡΙΑΝΟΣ you’re essentially doing a low carb diet which is perfectly normal. There is no “sugar” layer around your stomach, it is fat which will come off through a calorie deficit and exercise. But claiming that “Big Bread” is trying to get us addicted and that’s the only reason we eat it is painfully stupid.
I have hypothyroidism caused by Hashimoto's disease. I think it's a good idea to avoid gluten in my diet, because it can help alleviate some symptoms of Hashimoto’s. The research is mixed, but since I'm also trying to lose weight, I don't think avoiding gluten is a bad idea for me. Bread spikes my insulin levels, and I feel hungrier throughout that day when I eat it.
It makes total sense to avoid a food based on a personal experience/sensitivity. If bread is spiking your insulin levels, that sounds like an issue much different from a gluten sensitivity. Bread itself is a pretty calorically-dense food and it tastes delicious. It makes sense why you'd feel hungrier if you happen to crave foods like this. The problem is that Dr. Berg is trying to make many many many logical leaps to say that all these symptoms are caused by gluten. It's a really unfortunate argument to make especially for people desperately searching for their healthy balance in life. If you feel genuinely better omitting bread, keep doing what you're doing.
Go workout then if your getting hungry and utilize those carbohydrates. Bread is not the problem, people are the problem because they are lazy and just want to eat whatever they want without putting in work in the gym or get proper hrs of sleep for recovery
I used to follow this idiot back in the day when I started in my weight loss program. He really made me worry about everything that enters my body, on the other hand you made my life much easier and enjoyable. Thanks a lot man.
I got dizzy, constipated and hemorrhoid when I followed dr eric berg's strict keto diet routine (no high carb meals like rice, bread, pasta and sweets; drinking just enough water when thirsty). My stool started to get soft when I ate a few bread again.
To be fair, he advises eating loads of vegetables and there’s no way you would be constipated if you do that. On the other hand, the protein amount Layne suggests definitely makes me constipated on an overall balanced diet.
@@METALLOVER364 It's not just constipation you'll get from a ketogenic diet but also bad breath. The benefit of keto though is you'll feel fuller for longer hours. High carbs like rice, bread, pasta and noodles make me sleepy, look bloated and feel that I'm out of breath.
That is because your gut bacteria need time to adapt. So you just cant change the diet and it will be perfect. Its like you have been a junkie since you were born and then you wonder you get some problems when taken of the drugs. Doesnt mean you should continue taking drugs or does it .... Also everyone has some different bio in the gut.

Thank you for keeping this old granny from falling for some of this stuff. I do have to eat less carbs or my blood sugar will skyrocket but it doesn't mean carbs are poison. I am hoping when I get back to a normal weight, I can have more carbs, not because I am "addicted" but because they are delicious.

FWIW, Layne, you're not the only one who found this offensive. I'm profoundly ADHD. I'm more than a little offended at the implication that it's my parents' fault.
i have suffered SEVERE bipolar, adhd, ptsd, and more my whole life. The last 5 years have improved my life (and my daughter's) TREMENDOUSLY from making the right changes. everything including my vision has gotten better more than words can explain. No, i dont blame my parents i blame the AMA, FDA, cooperations, and lack of education. please understand i took time out of my day to give perspective and help someone, not cause conflict. because i know the truth. people have a choice, be dogmatic and egotistical, or make the effort to get better. strait up. best wishes to you and everyone reading.
Cutting out gluten made me feel so much better physically, less cravings etc. But that is for me, would never say this is also the case for every single person on this planet
While I agree with Dr. LE Norton in many empirical aspects, as a biomedical scientist I would not fully rely on scientific research, which is generally biased and typically difficult to extrapolate outside of the experimental setting (even the most "rigorous" meta-analyses). In addition, I would not disregard the observations obtained from a clinical setting, which are very often overlooked in scientific literature. We have to understand that Dr. EA Berg (I think he does not hold a PhD though) is heavily oriented to the clinical setting, while Dr. LE Norton is heavily oriented to the experimental setting. Both have their perspectives, which are useful, and also conflicts of interests (as almost any health professional). But I do not believe one invalidates the other. They should seek complementarity instead. The truth is that processed food consumption and carbohydrate overeating have contributed greatly to the increased prevalence of metabolic disease, including gastrointestinal disorders, fatty liver, attention deficits and addictions. On the other hand, dose and frequency make the poison. We have scientific literature that supports almost any claim you can think of, but I believe one, as a trained PhD, should be skeptical with oneself too, and consider what clinicians have to say and why they use the approach they do. The clinical setting is EXTREMELY different from the experimental setting, although they can help each other, instead of throwing fire at each other. I believe these two have quite different goals and that's where the clash comes in. In summary: Eric Berg: mass speaker -> big audience -> most people are metabolically unhealthy who eat tons of bread everyday -> message has to be "bread is killing you". Goal: reduce or even eliminate bread consumption. This will presumably improve health, and I can agree on this line. Layne Norton: specialist speaker -> much lower audience -> probably a very heterogeneous audience -> message has to be "bread has good and bad things". Goal: stay neutral about bread. This will just provide a counterbalance to a very skewed message, and I can also agree on this line.
Hello Layne, as a pizzaiolo aficionado, fermentation either through wild yeast, or commercial yeast (saccharomyces cerevisiae), does not reduce the amount of protein in the dough like Dr. Berg said. But rather breaks down the carbs into more simple blocks. Making it easier to digest. And producing co2 after eating those carbs, and inflating the dough more. In fact, we need high proteins flours, to have more gluten, for more dough elasticity and more puff.
Huge respect for being able to communicate some of these points in such a composed manner in this. Those claims around ND really got to me and I FELT that frustration - with all of the ideas around psychological difficulties, to be honest... Absolutely disgusting when people try to make such claims. I am so sick and tired of people skewing information about psychological conditions in addition to everything else.

My daughter had nausea and abdominal pain when she ate food. She had blood work and a biopsy of her small intestine and was diagnosed with celiac disease. She stopped eating all wheat, barley and rye products that had gluten in them and her nausea and abdominal pain went away.
I am on the spectrum myself. I generally don’t care that much when people say something about autism, especially if it’s a joke, but what Eric Berg said really shook me to the core. My whole life I’ve always felt that I was not normal, or that I was less than, and I’m still to this day trying to work past it, land when Eric Berg says what he says, it perpetuates those ideas that neurodivergent folks are “less than.” I’m sure others may resonate with this too.
So there I was, chowing down on bread like it was going out of style, right? I mean, I couldn't get enough of the stuff. But let me tell you, it was wreaking havoc on me. I was constantly feeling sluggish, my mind was foggy, and it felt like I was glued to the ground. Then, one day, it hit me like a ton of bricks: the bread was the problem. So I made a bold decision - I cut it out of my life completely. And you won't believe what happened next. It was like a fog lifted from my brain, and suddenly, I could see things with crystal clarity. I'm talking about my third eye opening wide, my friend. Now, I'm on a whole new journey. I'm honing my newfound abilities, tapping into this cosmic energy that's been dormant inside me all along. Who knows? Maybe one day soon, I'll be soaring through the sky, leaving bread crumbs in my wake as a reminder of how far I've come.
@@Cypher402 You can make jokes about it all you want but that doesn't make bread a healthy wholefood. Ever heard of Glyphosate that is sprayed all over wheat, corn etc.. Yea, Not an ideal food source
A Keto diet helped me shift my relationship to food - I was eating too much bread and not enough other beneficial foods. I did lose a lot of weight. But I gained all that back when I went off of it, and life long keto isn't sustainable - at least not for me. I'm on track to a more sustainable change of diet that involves long-term lifestyle change that allows me to also eat yummy foods in more moderation and without undermining my entire weight loss program. But I'm glad I found this channel, because I'm sick of the weird culty insanity in the fitness world that demands all-or-nothing dedication to a very restrictive lifestyle - often even more restrictive than most cults out there - to "lose weight" or "be fit" or whatever... I'm done with the garbage! Thanks for this site!
Thank you sir, so much for this video! I have a masters in molecular biology, published in scientific journals, and worked in the scientific and medical industry for 15 years. I now own my own medical writing consulting company. I’ve been a fitness fanatic my entire life and have run several marathons. So eating well and studying the link between medicine and health has been part of my lifestyle, passion and studies. I’ve been reading the “studies” that RUclips docs like Dr. Berg and Carnivore MD and have called them out on all their BS. Your video is the first legitimate one I’ve seen that calls them out on their BS. Thank you for providing watchers with truth!! It’s offensive and dangerous for these health “professionals” to feed ppl with this misinformation just to boost views and sales of their products!!! Keep up the good work!!
So bread and gluten and all that sugar is fine, that why there's so many people with diabetes, maybe you should study that subject for another 15 years to get it right.
@@juanfermin1841No. It's not good to eat a box of cookies, a bag of potato chips or a whole pizza in one sitting. That's the way many Americans eat and probably responsible for the rising incidence of diabetes. Eat carbs in moderation.

I imagine a bunch of medics, busting into an Olive Garden. They approach a patient blue in the face, not breathing. “He’s choking!” Says one “No… WAIT.” One of them picks up a half eaten bread stick. “He’s *overdosing*.” They hit him with narcan and suddenly he can breathe again
Used to believe and follow Dr.Bergs advice 2 years ago. The results were... - Unhealthy Relationship with Food - Craving Carbs constantly - Going on a Carb Bender - Low Energy & Mood Swings - Weight Gain Calories in Calories out if you want to lose weight. Simple.
It's quite simple. Berg does not have any nutritional knowledge. Nor do most MDs (Berg isn't an MD he couldn't hack it) but you can still acquire knowledge of a field by studying it in your spare time but Berg does exhibit any understanding of nutrition science.
@@JohnSmith-yt8di he must have some knowledge cause he knows a lot of all the medical terms. he at least did some research on his own. whether or not it's all true i can't say.
CICO is a fallacy. Dum dums like lame norton seem to think its ALL about cico. Proof? You have none. No studies suggest this is so. And no thermodynamics doesn't prove this. Your hormones ultimately dictate fat loss or gain.
Thank you so much for speaking about his statements on Autism... those kinds of claims make me sooooooo angry and I wish it was talked about more. Thank you for all you do!
Once again the voice of reason prevails. I'm so grateful for people like you who are out there pointing out the ridiculous keto dogma culture and waking up those who have been drawn in. I recently tore up a book by Leslyn Keith for the same exact reason in her book about keto and the lymphatic system. I don't need to be a scientific genius to spot BS and dietary propaganda.
Thank you for bringing the truth to all these doctors who make big $$$$$$ off RUclips from brining fear about food and causing so much anxiety and confusion!
Respect Layne for this objective breakdown . I really hope that people will know the truth that Eric Berg is a fraud who has a smooth-tongued, convincing people from his speech but in reality, the man doesn't know what he is talking and his team are willing to delete any harassed comment about the fact that he is not a real MD . His entire brand sale are as scammed as V Shred .
I spent a few years down the Eric berg and team rabbit hole (team being others like Jason Fung, Ken Berry, Thomas Delauer etc) ..... years wasted. I have been looking for a channel like yours as I always had a doubt that these extremes are not the way. Why are they so popular?!?!?! I guess most of us look for the path of least resistance... whatever that may be. Thank you for your content!!
They are deceving, they are popular so the algorithm pops them up and both he and thomas do a good job in making their content seem science bases(it's not). Berg in particular is a creep
The problem with this argument from Layne is that so many people benefit so incredibly from ditching bread. Joint pain goes away, allergy symptoms clear up, brain fog leaves, muscles don't hurt, etc etc. - Maybe it's the refined carbohydrates, pesticides, GMO hybridization of wheat, the gluten - I don’t know, but it's real. Layne is a little too sure of himself here.
This is great timing. Yesterday I went to a health-food store whose owner is a N. D. (Naturopathic Doctor). Told him I had a few aches and pains... "stop eating bread 🥖 and stop drinking milk 🥛" he said. Holy God are these two substances ever demonized!!!
Hmm bread is sugar, and milk is made for cows I never understood the obession with milk, Fun fact our body stops making the enzyzme that breaks down milk by 8 or 9 years old for most humans. A big reason why mostly Americans are more in to milk than the rest of the world Here in Asia for example the milk isn't really that real , its mostly carbs, salts, and other none sense Just weird though your sucking on a liquad made for a future hamburger.....
I cannot believe that there are still people who follow the advices of the Alec Bergs of RUclips. Thank you for speaking out and pointing the reality, hope more people see your videos.
I'd like more videos from dr berg's son exposing the cult of Scientology, the quackery of his dad, and their relationship breakdown. I wonder if that was all caused by Berg not eating bread.
@@pavolhorvath7850 Foolish statement. There is no research studies to suggest it doesnt exist. Just like there are no research studies to suggest long term carnivore is negative long term, yet these "experts" like layne suggests otherwise. to make recommendations and confirmations based off of a fantasy. So far I've yet to see a reasonably influencer on youtube. Bart Kay is close, but I'm skeptical of even him. Not a single one comes without bias, confound ignorers and hypocrites
I had eczema for most of my life, every winter was a nightmare, i cut gluten out and it went away in a month, not had any significant breakouts since, fuck knows how but my life improved.
@@GaryHighFruit dude, it is a phrase of speech with “one” not referring to a single slice of bread. It would also apply to grain based food items like pasta. And some people eat bread in roll form where the calories can be significantly more than 100 per “one”
@@dondajulah4168 My point stands tho. We're meant to eat a lot of carbs. I'm proof. I started a heavy carb diet in 1994. Typical day. 4 oranges 5 bananas 10 servings of grain 2 cans of beans I often got hungry in middle of night and had 4 more bananas. I never got over-weight. I still eat this way, but 40% less. Doing well.
If you don't think wheat is addictive. Try to quit eating it. I did quit. It was as hard as quiting a drug. And I lost weight. I didn't count calories. I eat plenty because I weight training. As far as I know, I do not have celiac.
As a portuguese woman,i could not go without bread .... first of all is delicious and also is a big part of my portuguese culture. At a table, bread and olive oil are always present.
Well as i went ketogenic i got to know how this intolerance towards gluten must feel like. I could start eating any carbs without problems. Bananas, Apples, Sugar, Oatmeal etc. But bread.... NO. Especially at that time as i was on a ketogenic diet eating wheat products ( especially those which were quite raw and heated less than other ) it did not feel good. Not at all. Just started to fell lousy about 15 minutes after eating. Bad mood, weird thoughts, difficulty concentrating, pictures not leaving my head, inner ( mental ) pain, feeling down, depressed. I had it several times and only with wheat- laden products. Again and again and again. But not being on keto it actually went away, or at least got much better. So why especially on that keto- phase? I think because the high amounts of fat irritated my digestive tract. That is something i noticed after being keto for a long time. And an already inflamed gut does not seem to handle wheat products well. At least not for me.
@@diversifiedcollectibles9242 If i start going keto and eat the fat again the inflammation and irritation comes back. Fat just destroys my digestive tract as long as i do not eat carbs.
@@Solidfreeman01 That's rare to hear (besides keto flu but that is usually over within a few days to a week) but to each their own, wholefood common sense choices is the way to go no matter the diet, I definitely wouldn't recommend bread on any diet personally. GMO, Glyphosate, Not Nutrient Dense etc.. Just not good for the body I don't care what anyone says. We didn't evolve eating freaking bread, so this guy basically advocating the consumption of bread in this video is just silly.
Your “What the Fitness” episodes are just so amazing. I never know whether to laugh or cry - but I basically laugh. Thank you so much for these refreshing and accurate exposures of these hucksters.
The what the fitness series is fantastic. Debunking these "gurus" with facts, while being entertaining", is a rare skill. I hope the channel grows alot more, you deserve it sir!
Hey thanks for filtering out bs! Im currently on low carb diet. Mostly bc I can eat and maintain my weight with out thinking about calories. Bc it works for me. And since I consider myself low carb! Mostly keto but I’ve found with being keto and following your flexible diet I can live a more normal life and if I eat out/have people over and not be the weird guy with diet restrictions. I just learned how much calories are in things and just account for it on the days I find necessary. So for me I’m low carb/flexible diet lol thanks again I found you after doing low carb for year and a half and I think flexible diet has help me maintain when I bounce in and out of keto.
Hey man, I’m on the same boat. I really like keto for it’s benefits and I’m not putting down any other content creator. Nor taking a part of a cult. I just pick the right information for me, and do enjoy staying in keto for a while, then enjoying some great pasta. All the best!
No, Dr. Berg, the question is...why have people been eating bread for thousands of years and even call it The Staff of Life? True, modern day practices of lacing grains with glyphosate is far from healthy, but there are still organic grains and bread that can be enjoyed today. Many people report that when they leave US and go to Europe, for instance, and eat "Monsanto-less" pasta or bread, they have absolutely no digestive issues compared to if they consume grain in US. So maybe it's not the grains but how they are sprayed, processed, and stored that's the real issue. And if you're going to talk about "antinutrients" in grain, then why is it that you highly recommend 6 or 7 servings of vegetables each day, since veggies are full of "antinutrients" such as oxalates, histamines, and salicylates?
I think bread is over consumed and people would rather eat it and leave out meat/veggies/fat which are all more satisfying and more nutrient dense . Majority of people don't have the will power or information to make their meals benefit their body.
Can't believe I used to take this clown seriously. I wasn't stupid, but I was highly ignorant. Thank you Layne, you helped to turn me around and become far more discerning and skeptical!
I am so glad I heard about your Channel from Magnus Method. I was listening to this doctor I was confused I felt like he was going in circles . So thank you
I know you were sarcastic but turning tricks for bread is in the Bible. Berg was right. Proverbs 6:26 "For a prostitute can be had for a loaf of bread, but another man’s wife preys on your very life." A lot of people are strung out on that white bread in my city of Philly.
I’m not low carb but I’m genuinely sensitive to bread. I do get puffy, have digestion issues, and too much can start to have an impact on my mental health. But, anything that makes you feel like crap can do that I suppose.
@@lf7065greed, it is dough raising time. The longer the dough has time the more the proteins are broken down and the sensitivity people display. Supermarket bread are made very quickly. My wife bloats from supermarket bread but is ok with bread I make at home
It is such a relief that I can watch your analysis of these “diet zealots” rather than having to watch them myself. I don’t have to scream at the television anymore ! Love your science based videos! Thank you!
Saw your WTF on his muscle building video and immediately unfollowed him afterwards. I appreciate your scientific approach to health, nutrition and fitness. Please keep the great content coming!
I love the way you explain things. It does get confusing out there! I have been super sick for a few years due to reccurent diverticulitis and c diff, followed by a bowel resection. I have a hard time digesting foods now. My dietician told me to switch to sourdough, which i have found to tolerate much better. So when he said the sourdough thing, i thought, how easy is it for him to take a piece of something true FOR SOME and spin it to look like thats what we all need. Its crazy making! Thank you for the work you do in breaking down misinformation
Most people are addicted to bread, they like it for reasons, exactly for the reasons dr berg has explained. Your counter argument is "people like it so it must be good" is sily.
1. He's not a Dr 2. He knows nothing about bread. (Or nutrition in general.) 3. What bread exactly? The additive and sugar filled kind, or the one made from hight quality flour with no additives? It's a quality issue. Not a bread issue.
Well fat provides the flavor and aroma for food, so people might end up eating more since fat makes food tastes better, thus bread is not the only trigger food. People can eat what they want as long as you do not go overboard. Enough black and white thinking, test things for yourself, and strive to be active and healthy. Thanks for the video Dr. Layne, great content.
Exactly. One thing that's common among the low carb/high fat group is nuts being a trigger food. I dont know about everyone else, but I've put down nearly a pound of pistachios in a single day more than a few times.
So true. Who eats dry toast without generous amount of cream cheese or garlic butter on it ? I will not eat more than a slice . Grilled cheese makes me over eat GC sandwich , cheese makes me over eat pizza . Carbs by itself is not that interesting . White rice - how much can you eat without fat or protein hyping it up ?
I love dr berg he has helped my family a lot! And when I don’t eat bread I automatically loose inflammation - and feel more mental energy (and I don’t have Crohn’s disease and I am athletic and healthy) I discovered dr berg because of my husbands inflammation, arthritis and obesity - thanks to supporting my husband - I also eliminated wheat and I could not believe the MENTAL BENEFITS. You are wrong here Doctor. I sleep better, zero headaches, so much energy I don’t know what to do with my extra time, my skin is cleared! My wrinkles disappeared and I lost weight - I have to make myself eat! And again - I have NO MEDICAL ISSUES! Dr berg is CORRECT! Read real people he has impacted! Who sponsors you? Where do you get your income from?
@biolayne no reasearch for leaky gut, Is that still true? The zonulin is not a thing? If somebody is not able to digest gluten well (low stomac acid, or other digestion issues) and gluten reaches the small intestine, can not trigger an immune reaction for some? Can gluten be a problem or not in your opinon? you are giving conflicting comments. "Dosage makes the poison" isn't true for gluten? Is it false to think that sourdough bread can help for some? Thanks
I have a question; I've heard a lot of mental health professionals recently saying that inflammation can cause depression and anxiety, and that a gluten-free diet will improve symptoms. Is there any actual research and truth behind this, or is it just a truism that's been repeated? Because it leaves me feeling like if I'm not willing to never eat things I like, I'm lazy and will never get better.
@@biolayne1 Thanks. I genuinely wonder where they're getting it from?? They always claim studies back it up, and I try to read studies, but as a civi I can only see through so much academism, lol. I oughta know by now not to live off of 'new research that claims x.'
Overeating can cause inflammation and therefore it may indirectly cause depression and anxiety due to associated health effects. A gluten free diet may inadvertently result in the individual eating less.
@@drrohanfonseca So as Layne has explained endlessly many things cause inflammation and in itself inflammation is not “bad”; exercise causes inflammation. Are you talking about chronic systemic inflammation? I would be interested to see the evidence that overeating ( and a definition of this nebulous term) causes this inflammation. You claim inflammation causes depression and anxiety … really ? Evidence please since Layne specifically says there is NONE and what are these associated health effects you mention? And saying a gluten free diet may result in a person eating less means nothing. It would be just as easy to assert that a gluten free diet results in them eating more. Basically your comment makes zero sense.
As much I disagree with Dr Berg about his keto diet. His advise on other topics are sound. I truly believe if people actually took his advise, even on diet, they would look and feel better. This is why he has thousands or even millions of success stories.
Thank you for the excellent critique. So many nutrition mountebanks use about 10 critical fallacies for a short video, which reveals their contempt for their audience. I'll take your common sense and science over their chicanery any day. Thanks for the videos.
I always laugh at the bread thing. Bread, rice, egg whites and white fish make up 80% of my weekly diet. Not to mention, grains are basically responsible for the foundation of human society. That changed us from hunter/gatherers to actually settling in villages.
Dr Berg scared me away from eating carbs a few years ago, resulting in me going Keto for over a year with intermittend fasting. The result: severe trouble sleeping and morning anxiety and low energy for workouts. Plus a scewed look at carbs as a toxic macro.
I discovered you through the Huberman Lab Podcast. I'm trying to get myself back on track with my health. I've had people suggest Berg to me before so I'm really glad I found this video. The autism part just pissed me off so much. I have a 9 year old with autism. She was diagnosed pretty early in her life. I'm furious about that comment. People that simplify autism and create shame make me so angry.
12.99 a month for reps lol. what a joke.
Why do you think that is a joke? Several other research reviews charge significantly more than that, up to $30 per month. I’m curious as to why you think it’s a ‘joke’. Do you have a job? Do you work for free?
@@biolayne1 because I would never pay for this. And I would never pay for the others either. Just because you put hard work into it doesn't mean people will pay for it.

Nice one 👍

well and because it’s cheap, nonetheless some better alternatives might be some berries, some beef jerky, some olives. Would love to see that over bread a million times. But yeah, much more expensive.
Bread is filling. I've never eaten bread and gotten hungrier. I wish. I need to gain weight.
I whole heartedly believed this guy when my anxiety got out of control. You sir have tied a string to my foot and pulled me back down to reality. I appreciate all of you videos!
Same happened to me lol, I ended up on a carnivore diet and vilifying carbs. But Dr. Layne saved me from this rabbit hole of Zealotry.
@@nandoxus I have a friend who ate Rare Beef Steaks before and now does Vegetarian Keto Diet... Because of a-holes like Berg... I was also doing all kinds of crappy diets before... Ended up becoming overweight because was sick of all the restrictions. For 2 year have been doing flexible dieting, counting calories, eating bread ,pancakes, burgers and lost 20 kgs and keep them off... Thanks to Layne, Gregg, Will and many others...
@@bachvarovalexander good for you my friend. These pseudoscience scammers should be arrested for spreading misinformation that causes health issues.
@ΗΛΙΑΣ ΛΕΓΚΡΙΑΝΟΣ And for the fastest weight loss you should basically not eat anything...
@@bachvarovalexander Yuh me too. Currently on a McDonald's binge after 8 years of restrictive dieting. Just now starting to eat whole omnivore foods again. Not gonna track. I'll just skip a meal if I feel I'm not hungry. Thats a better way to lose weight without being restrictive and counting calories.
I have to say I did follow Dr Berg with his keto advice and lost 15 kg in 3 months. I was very strict with myself and it worked. I was also tracking my calories, eating at my BMR. Because it worked I thought keto was the one and only.
But then after a while, I became a bit adventurous, thinking "well, let's try the other diets, even if I bounce back, i could just stop and get back to keto and so on."
So, I switched to higher carb and protein intake (coz I started working out too) and I didn't gain any of my weight back.
I think what keto did for me is it helped me avoid all the processed food and stuff… which in terms helped me control my calorie intake. I avoided instant noodle, bubble tea, sugar-loaded foods and so on. So I've come to the conclusion that to lose weight you just need to eat healthy and watch your calories.
This sounds actually incredibly reasonable. Thank you.
I think you lost weight on keto because you stuck to it and counted calories. YOU did that, not Dr Berg. Give yourself more credit 🤙🤙🤙
@@Bloozguy this is a very interesting point of view! Will bear it in mind. Thanks!
Nailed it
You’re correct, but saying that doesn’t creat wealth because it’s not hyperbolic enough to …and Dr. Berg is worth around 10M (I looked it up. One est is over 11M)
"Dosage makes the poison"
Such a simple yet powerful phrase.
e.g. - minimal exposure to Dr. Berg will not poison your brain.
@ΗΛΙΑΣ ΛΕΓΚΡΙΑΝΟΣ That's awesome but you could've lost the same amount of weight eating ONLY bread.
That's one of the very first things they teach you in toxicology, even at the most rudimentary level. Eric Berg has a unique ability to come across as measured and deliberate overlayed with fatherly assurance all the while pedaling oversimplified rubbish. Whether this is intentional or not, it is still damaging
Berg didn't say it was poisonous. He said it was addicting.
Yes and no.. Dr.Berg isn't wrong when he says they spray our food with chemicals that affect us with time.Cancer etc.
He moved so easily from bread to fentanyl. I am surprised he didn’t talk about the linkages between bread and COVID-19.
Dont forget he spoke about opioids and all mental disorders almost :'D

Same happened to me. I went a step future into hardcore carnivore lol. And Layne saved me.
His audience consist 90% of sick, overweight, never exercise middle aged-older individuals who are literally clueless on nutrition and don't want to take the time to do even the simplest independent research.

Same!!! I believed everything and was miserable for months with literally no results and I lost muscle.
While most people who listen to this doctor will roll their eyes, there are plenty of people who are going OMG yes this is so true. It’s playing right into their confirmation bias. It’s truly frightening.
I got family members who fall into that category, it really is frightening what they believe. They think the reason I'm so skinny is cause I did keto for a bit last year...and I never gained the weight back despite the fact that I haven't been on that diet at all, but they ignore that.

@ΗΛΙΑΣ ΛΕΓΚΡΙΑΝΟΣ you’re essentially doing a low carb diet which is perfectly normal. There is no “sugar” layer around your stomach, it is fat which will come off through a calorie deficit and exercise. But claiming that “Big Bread” is trying to get us addicted and that’s the only reason we eat it is painfully stupid.
Eh, who cares. It's easier to let them learn from their own mistakes than change their minds.
@@limitisillusion7 unless you're a baker then damn this is scary 🤣
I have hypothyroidism caused by Hashimoto's disease. I think it's a good idea to avoid gluten in my diet, because it can help alleviate some symptoms of Hashimoto’s. The research is mixed, but since I'm also trying to lose weight, I don't think avoiding gluten is a bad idea for me. Bread spikes my insulin levels, and I feel hungrier throughout that day when I eat it.
It makes total sense to avoid a food based on a personal experience/sensitivity. If bread is spiking your insulin levels, that sounds like an issue much different from a gluten sensitivity. Bread itself is a pretty calorically-dense food and it tastes delicious. It makes sense why you'd feel hungrier if you happen to crave foods like this. The problem is that Dr. Berg is trying to make many many many logical leaps to say that all these symptoms are caused by gluten. It's a really unfortunate argument to make especially for people desperately searching for their healthy balance in life. If you feel genuinely better omitting bread, keep doing what you're doing.
Commercial bread will do that, due to all that salt and additives. Have you tried making your own? It's a whole different experience!!
@@Radjehuty so all the chemicals they put in the bread isnt and other foods isnt bad?
Go workout then if your getting hungry and utilize those carbohydrates. Bread is not the problem, people are the problem because they are lazy and just want to eat whatever they want without putting in work in the gym or get proper hrs of sleep for recovery
yeah, I also feel so much hunger when I eat bread even one piece
I used to follow this idiot back in the day when I started in my weight loss program. He really made me worry about everything that enters my body, on the other hand you made my life much easier and enjoyable. Thanks a lot man.
He uses scare tactics to sell his wheatgrass
I think another of his beliefs stem from his scientology.
Yep he makes people live in fear (Berg) you can find something wrong with ANYTHING and he does! lol
I haven't watched a Dr. Berg video in quite a while, and never will again.
Never was the term "stay in your lane" more true as it is with Dr. Berg.
What even is his lane? I wouldn’t trust him to do anything tbh
I got dizzy, constipated and hemorrhoid when I followed dr eric berg's strict keto diet routine (no high carb meals like rice, bread, pasta and sweets; drinking just enough water when thirsty). My stool started to get soft when I ate a few bread again.
To be fair, he advises eating loads of vegetables and there’s no way you would be constipated if you do that.
On the other hand, the protein amount Layne suggests definitely makes me constipated on an overall balanced diet.
@@METALLOVER364 It's not just constipation you'll get from a ketogenic diet but also bad breath. The benefit of keto though is you'll feel fuller for longer hours. High carbs like rice, bread, pasta and noodles make me sleepy, look bloated and feel that I'm out of breath.
That is because your gut bacteria need time to adapt. So you just cant change the diet and it will be perfect. Its like you have been a junkie since you were born and then you wonder you get some problems when taken of the drugs. Doesnt mean you should continue taking drugs or does it ....

While I agree with Dr. LE Norton in many empirical aspects, as a biomedical scientist I would not fully rely on scientific research, which is generally biased and typically difficult to extrapolate outside of the experimental setting (even the most "rigorous" meta-analyses). In addition, I would not disregard the observations obtained from a clinical setting, which are very often overlooked in scientific literature. We have to understand that Dr. EA Berg (I think he does not hold a PhD though) is heavily oriented to the clinical setting, while Dr. LE Norton is heavily oriented to the experimental setting. Both have their perspectives, which are useful, and also conflicts of interests (as almost any health professional). But I do not believe one invalidates the other. They should seek complementarity instead. The truth is that processed food consumption and carbohydrate overeating have contributed greatly to the increased prevalence of metabolic disease, including gastrointestinal disorders, fatty liver, attention deficits and addictions. On the other hand, dose and frequency make the poison. We have scientific literature that supports almost any claim you can think of, but I believe one, as a trained PhD, should be skeptical with oneself too, and consider what clinicians have to say and why they use the approach they do. The clinical setting is EXTREMELY different from the experimental setting, although they can help each other, instead of throwing fire at each other. I believe these two have quite different goals and that's where the clash comes in.
In summary:
Eric Berg: mass speaker -> big audience -> most people are metabolically unhealthy who eat tons of bread everyday -> message has to be "bread is killing you". Goal: reduce or even eliminate bread consumption. This will presumably improve health, and I can agree on this line.
Layne Norton: specialist speaker -> much lower audience -> probably a very heterogeneous audience -> message has to be "bread has good and bad things". Goal: stay neutral about bread. This will just provide a counterbalance to a very skewed message, and I can also agree on this line.
Hello Layne, as a pizzaiolo aficionado, fermentation either through wild yeast, or commercial yeast (saccharomyces cerevisiae), does not reduce the amount of protein in the dough like Dr. Berg said. But rather breaks down the carbs into more simple blocks. Making it easier to digest. And producing co2 after eating those carbs, and inflating the dough more. In fact, we need high proteins flours, to have more gluten, for more dough elasticity and more puff.
Berg, may be the biggest pusher of bullshit on RUclips. He's mislead so many. I'm glad you're critiquing him today. Thank you.

I stopped eating bread for 30 days and the inflammation pain in my gut disappeared.
My daughter had nausea and abdominal pain when she ate food. She had blood work and a biopsy of her small intestine and was diagnosed with celiac disease. She stopped eating all wheat, barley and rye products that had gluten in them and her nausea and abdominal pain went away.
I am on the spectrum myself. I generally don’t care that much when people say something about autism, especially if it’s a joke, but what Eric Berg said really shook me to the core. My whole life I’ve always felt that I was not normal, or that I was less than, and I’m still to this day trying to work past it, land when Eric Berg says what he says, it perpetuates those ideas that neurodivergent folks are “less than.” I’m sure others may resonate with this too.
So there I was, chowing down on bread like it was going out of style, right? I mean, I couldn't get enough of the stuff. But let me tell you, it was wreaking havoc on me. I was constantly feeling sluggish, my mind was foggy, and it felt like I was glued to the ground.
Then, one day, it hit me like a ton of bricks: the bread was the problem. So I made a bold decision - I cut it out of my life completely. And you won't believe what happened next. It was like a fog lifted from my brain, and suddenly, I could see things with crystal clarity. I'm talking about my third eye opening wide, my friend.
Now, I'm on a whole new journey. I'm honing my newfound abilities, tapping into this cosmic energy that's been dormant inside me all along. Who knows? Maybe one day soon, I'll be soaring through the sky, leaving bread crumbs in my wake as a reminder of how far I've come.
Time to start a cult! Sign me up, you sound like the real deal 🙃

A Keto diet helped me shift my relationship to food - I was eating too much bread and not enough other beneficial foods. I did lose a lot of weight. But I gained all that back when I went off of it, and life long keto isn't sustainable - at least not for me. I'm on track to a more sustainable change of diet that involves long-term lifestyle change that allows me to also eat yummy foods in more moderation and without undermining my entire weight loss program. But I'm glad I found this channel, because I'm sick of the weird culty insanity in the fitness world that demands all-or-nothing dedication to a very restrictive lifestyle - often even more restrictive than most cults out there - to "lose weight" or "be fit" or whatever... I'm done with the garbage! Thanks for this site!
If you didn't Go well in keto it's because you didn't eat enough fat,try carnivore with organs,hump and more fatty pieces

DeLauer annoys the heck out of me, showing off his bod and then going on about keto and fasting. Super narcissist
They are so popular because for most people running on ketones makes you feel amazing, mentally and physically.
The problem with this argument from Layne is that so many people benefit so incredibly from ditching bread. Joint pain goes away, allergy symptoms clear up, brain fog leaves, muscles don't hurt, etc etc. - Maybe it's the refined carbohydrates, pesticides, GMO hybridization of wheat, the gluten - I don’t know, but it's real.

If you don't think wheat is addictive. Try to quit eating it. I did quit. It was as hard as quiting a drug. And I lost weight. I didn't count calories. I eat plenty because I weight training. As far as I know, I do not have celiac.
I did quit and I gained a lot of weight.
As a portuguese woman,i could not go without bread .... first of all is delicious and also is a big part of my portuguese culture. At a table, bread and olive oil are always present.
Well as i went ketogenic i got to know how this intolerance towards gluten must feel like. I could start eating any carbs without problems. Bananas, Apples, Sugar, Oatmeal etc. But bread.... NO. Especially at that time as i was on a ketogenic diet eating wheat products ( especially those which were quite raw and heated less than other ) it did not feel good. Not at all. Just started to fell lousy about 15 minutes after eating. Bad mood, weird thoughts, difficulty concentrating, pictures not leaving my head, inner ( mental ) pain, feeling down, depressed. I had it several times and only with wheat- laden products. Again and again and again. But not being on keto it actually went away, or at least got much better.
So why especially on that keto- phase? I think because the high amounts of fat irritated my digestive tract. That is something i noticed after being keto for a long time. And an already inflamed gut does not seem to handle wheat products well. At least not for me.
Keto has taken inflammation out of my gut for me. Most if not All my digestive issues solved with low carb
@@diversifiedcollectibles9242 If i start going keto and eat the fat again the inflammation and irritation comes back. Fat just destroys my digestive tract as long as i do not eat carbs.
@@Solidfreeman01 That's rare to hear (besides keto flu but that is usually over within a few days to a week) but to each their own, wholefood common sense choices is the way to go no matter the diet, I definitely wouldn't recommend bread on any diet personally. GMO, Glyphosate, Not Nutrient Dense etc.. Just not good for the body I don't care what anyone says. We didn't evolve eating freaking bread, so this guy basically advocating the consumption of bread in this video is just silly.
That is not rare to hear at all. Fat eats your digestive tract. It is the case for very many people. A common problem@@diversifiedcollectibles9242
I love Friday’s. I like your work and thank you very much for all the information you put out.
Wow. The way that Berg guy was taking it, you’d wonder how a human who ate bread every week could make it to twenty years!
Your “What the Fitness” episodes are just so amazing. I never know whether to laugh or cry - but I basically laugh. Thank you so much for these refreshing and accurate exposures of these hucksters.
The what the fitness series is fantastic. Debunking these "gurus" with facts, while being entertaining", is a rare skill. I hope the channel grows alot more, you deserve it sir!
Hey thanks for filtering out bs! Im currently on low carb diet. Mostly bc I can eat and maintain my weight with out thinking about calories. Bc it works for me. And since I consider myself low carb! Mostly keto but I’ve found with being keto and following your flexible diet I can live a more normal life and if I eat out/have people over and not be the weird guy with diet restrictions. I just learned how much calories are in things and just account for it on the days I find necessary. So for me I’m low carb/flexible diet lol thanks again I found you after doing low carb for year and a half and I think flexible diet has help me maintain when I bounce in and out of keto.
Hey man, I’m on the same boat. I really like keto for it’s benefits and I’m not putting down any other content creator. Nor taking a part of a cult. I just pick the right information for me, and do enjoy staying in keto for a while, then enjoying some great pasta. All the best!
Please debunk more of Berg's videos.
No, Dr. Berg, the question is...why have people been eating bread for thousands of years and even call it The Staff of Life? True, modern day practices of lacing grains with glyphosate is far from healthy, but there are still organic grains and bread that can be enjoyed today. Many people report that when they leave US and go to Europe, for instance, and eat "Monsanto-less" pasta or bread, they have absolutely no digestive issues compared to if they consume grain in US. So maybe it's not the grains but how they are sprayed, processed, and stored that's the real issue. And if you're going to talk about "antinutrients" in grain, then why is it that you highly recommend 6 or 7 servings of vegetables each day, since veggies are full of "antinutrients" such as oxalates, histamines, and salicylates?
I think bread is over consumed and people would rather eat it and leave out meat/veggies/fat which are all more satisfying and more nutrient dense . Majority of people don't have the will power or information to make their meals benefit their body.
He shouldve name the video Grains.... Because I don't think bread is the problem. He was mostly talking about grains..
Can't believe I used to take this clown seriously. I wasn't stupid, but I was highly ignorant. Thank you Layne, you helped to turn me around and become far more discerning and skeptical!
As a women of 67 who used to train for many years. I loved your content. Thank you for your video.
Layne, maybe you could try carnivore to help your sons autism. Worth a try mate. It's helped others.
I am so glad I heard about your Channel from Magnus Method. I was listening to this doctor I was confused I felt like he was going in circles . So thank you
He has on his site he wants people to eat as little carbs as possible. He just lies.
I know you were sarcastic but turning tricks for bread is in the Bible. Berg was right.
Proverbs 6:26
"For a prostitute can be had for a loaf of bread, but another man’s wife preys on your very life."
A lot of people are strung out on that white bread in my city of Philly.
I’m not low carb but I’m genuinely sensitive to bread. I do get puffy, have digestion issues, and too much can start to have an impact on my mental health. But, anything that makes you feel like crap can do that I suppose.
Gluten intolerance probably. I found a digestive enzyme I use when I eat bread
I feel that way from commercially made breads, which are very high in sodium and additives. I make my own bread now and have NO issues. Yay!! 🙂
@@lf7065greed, it is dough raising time. The longer the dough has time the more the proteins are broken down and the sensitivity people display. Supermarket bread are made very quickly. My wife bloats from supermarket bread but is ok with bread I make at home
I am 71 years old and I am so much better after cutting out bread. No question.
I remember once the guy said if you go for a 15 minute walk you run out of glycogen 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It is such a relief that I can watch your analysis of these “diet zealots” rather than having to watch them myself. I don’t have to scream at the television anymore ! Love your science based videos! Thank you!
Saw your WTF on his muscle building video and immediately unfollowed him afterwards. I appreciate your scientific approach to health, nutrition and fitness. Please keep the great content coming!
I love the way you explain things. It does get confusing out there! I have been super sick for a few years due to reccurent diverticulitis and c diff, followed by a bowel resection. I have a hard time digesting foods now. My dietician told me to switch to sourdough, which i have found to tolerate much better. So when he said the sourdough thing, i thought, how easy is it for him to take a piece of something true FOR SOME and spin it to look like thats what we all need. Its crazy making! Thank you for the work you do in breaking down misinformation
I'm so sorry Layne, I burst into laughter when Eric said that bread can cause autism
P.S. just re-reading this comment makes me laughing
Well done. I also like it when you blow your top with these wtfs, but you knock this down very well!
When he described "healthwashing", I almost died laughing.
Sourdough toast with butter I will never give up. Can't believe one slice of bread a day is going to be a problem
Eric Berg is an intellectual and emotional unbalanced person who needs to be exposed, and for that, thank you Dr. Layne!
Most people are addicted to bread, they like it for reasons, exactly for the reasons dr berg has explained. Your counter argument is "people like it so it must be good" is sily.
1. He's not a Dr
2. He knows nothing about bread. (Or nutrition in general.)
3. What bread exactly? The additive and sugar filled kind, or the one made from hight quality flour with no additives? It's a quality issue. Not a bread issue.
Norton what do you eat what is your food consumption protocol?
Well fat provides the flavor and aroma for food, so people might end up eating more since fat makes food tastes better, thus bread is not the only trigger food. People can eat what they want as long as you do not go overboard.
Enough black and white thinking, test things for yourself, and strive to be active and healthy. Thanks for the video Dr. Layne, great content.
Exactly. One thing that's common among the low carb/high fat group is nuts being a trigger food. I dont know about everyone else, but I've put down nearly a pound of pistachios in a single day more than a few times.
So true. Who eats dry toast without generous amount of cream cheese or garlic butter on it ? I will not eat more than a slice . Grilled cheese makes me over eat GC sandwich , cheese makes me over eat pizza . Carbs by itself is not that interesting . White rice - how much can you eat without fat or protein hyping it up ?
Apparently we live in times where bread and oats are more dangerous than street drugs.
I love dr berg he has helped my family a lot! And when I don’t eat bread I automatically loose inflammation - and feel more mental energy (and I don’t have Crohn’s disease and I am athletic and healthy) I discovered dr berg because of my husbands inflammation, arthritis and obesity - thanks to supporting my husband - I also eliminated wheat and I could not believe the MENTAL BENEFITS. You are wrong here Doctor. I sleep better, zero headaches, so much energy I don’t know what to do with my extra time, my skin is cleared! My wrinkles disappeared and I lost weight - I have to make myself eat! And again - I have NO MEDICAL ISSUES! Dr berg is CORRECT! Read real people he has impacted! Who sponsors you? Where do you get your income from?
Sponsors? Income? LOL. Good for you, don't eat any bread. More for the rest of us to enjoy.
@biolayne no reasearch for leaky gut, Is that still true? The zonulin is not a thing? If somebody is not able to digest gluten well (low stomac acid, or other digestion issues) and gluten reaches the small intestine, can not trigger an immune reaction for some?
Can gluten be a problem or not in your opinon? you are giving conflicting comments. "Dosage makes the poison" isn't true for gluten? Is it false to think that sourdough bread can help for some? Thanks
I have a question; I've heard a lot of mental health professionals recently saying that inflammation can cause depression and anxiety, and that a gluten-free diet will improve symptoms. Is there any actual research and truth behind this, or is it just a truism that's been repeated? Because it leaves me feeling like if I'm not willing to never eat things I like, I'm lazy and will never get better.
Nope. Nothing
@@biolayne1 Thanks. I genuinely wonder where they're getting it from?? They always claim studies back it up, and I try to read studies, but as a civi I can only see through so much academism, lol. I oughta know by now not to live off of 'new research that claims x.'
@@autumnhobbit They get it from RUclips, or Tik Tok or Instavirus.
Overeating can cause inflammation and therefore it may indirectly cause depression and anxiety due to associated health effects. A gluten free diet may inadvertently result in the individual eating less.
@@drrohanfonseca So as Layne has explained endlessly many things cause inflammation and in itself inflammation is not “bad”; exercise causes inflammation. Are you talking about chronic systemic inflammation? I would be interested to see the evidence that overeating ( and a definition of this nebulous term) causes this inflammation. You claim inflammation causes depression and anxiety … really ? Evidence please since Layne specifically says there is NONE and what are these associated health effects you mention? And saying a gluten free diet may result in a person eating less means nothing. It would be just as easy to assert that a gluten free diet results in them eating more.
Basically your comment makes zero sense.
Please debate with him Layne..it would be very very intresting to watch!
As much I disagree with Dr Berg about his keto diet. His advise on other topics are sound. I truly believe if people actually took his advise, even on diet, they would look and feel better. This is why he has thousands or even millions of success stories.
Thank you for the excellent critique. So many nutrition mountebanks use about 10 critical fallacies for a short video, which reveals their contempt for their audience. I'll take your common sense and science over their chicanery any day. Thanks for the videos.
I always laugh at the bread thing. Bread, rice, egg whites and white fish make up 80% of my weekly diet. Not to mention, grains are basically responsible for the foundation of human society. That changed us from hunter/gatherers to actually settling in villages.
Youre saying that like its a good thing
@@bljet4388 yeah, I've grown fond of civilization.
🤣🤣 ok buddy
Dr Berg scared me away from eating carbs a few years ago, resulting in me going Keto for over a year with intermittend fasting. The result: severe trouble sleeping and morning anxiety and low energy for workouts. Plus a scewed look at carbs as a toxic macro.
I discovered you through the Huberman Lab Podcast. I'm trying to get myself back on track with my health. I've had people suggest Berg to me before so I'm really glad I found this video. The autism part just pissed me off so much. I have a 9 year old with autism. She was diagnosed pretty early in her life. I'm furious about that comment. People that simplify autism and create shame make me so angry.
