Dr. Atkins recommended that people limit nuts/seeds to 2 ounces a day during the 20g net carb induction phase of his diet. 1/4 cup of almonds is about 1 ounce, or about 23 nuts, which would leave room for an ounce of seeds (for example.) A one-ounce serving of nuts greatly differs. The following equal one ounce: 24 almonds, 18 medium cashews, 12 hazelnuts or filberts, 8 medium Brazil nuts, 12 macadamia nuts, 35 peanuts, 15 pecan halves and 14 English walnut halves (3).
Here's a generic recipe for a power ketofriendly salad- the big 11 : 1) some fermented foods- kimchi, sauerkraut, mustard, pickle etc. 2) some seeds- sunflower, pumpkin, chia 3) mixed greens- arugula, rocket, butterhead, fresh basil, fresh thyme, fresh mint, fresh cilantro, baby spinach etc. 4) some cabbage 5) some peppers 6) some grated cheese 7) some apple cider vinegar 8) some nuts- almonds, cashew, walnuts, etc. 9) sea salt 10) some virgin olive oil 11) some aromatics- oregano, rosemary, thyme etc. The fun is in the "some" Just a little of each in guestimate proportion, except for the ACV, needs to be according to preferred tanginess. Does not need to use all 11 ingredients, just any combination will do.
Since you mentioned almond butter. Here is a great way to enjoy a small amount. Get 2 or 3 eggs and whisk them with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream and 1 tablespoon of stevia then light up the stove with grass fed butter or coconut oil. After whisking them pour on the mix and cover with Lid on lowest heat. It will become a pancake and then after 5-10 mins fold the omelette in half. Put it on your plate and add 2 tablespoons of almond butter like you would with syrup for a pancake. Sprinkle more stevia on top and enjoy. I started also adding half a tablespoon of organic honey only because I already lost over 150lbs on keto. Now I'm lifting weights again to get bigger so a lil sugar for me is beneficial only coming from honey or berries.
That "turn off switch" that says "enough is enough" and makes it easy to stop eating is a pretty cool switch. Mine works a lot better with keto / IF than it did before, but if I add salt to nuts (or pork rinds), my switch doesn't work so well anymore.
Today is January24,2023. Back on Keto, lost 70 lbs with you, Dr. Berg, still off Type2 Diabetic meds, up about 17 lbs. Started back on Keto, your way with a big salad, chicken salad, Greek dressing and pistachios. The first day or so, I tend to eat larger quantity but it tapers off. I think out of all of the Keto Dr’s diets out there, yours is best explained and works very well. I turned 64 years old 2 days ago and a retired ICU Travel Nurse so I know all of these variations and tried them but yours is the most effective and easiest to menu plan but honestly, from a medical viewpoint, it isn’t deficient in certain vitamins/minerals and doesn’t ‘demonize’ certain fruits and veggies. Much simpler, safer and still, did not gain all my weight back and yes, I did fall off to a point but not bad enough to not get back on and get it back off.
Macadamia nuts are my go to.. I've never felt bloated or gassy after eating them. But I do consume them in moderation. Usually as my fat after dinner, or with my lunch. Sometimes a little handful after each meal
I'm not worried about the bile issue or oxalate. The reason to eat less nuts is because they are super full of PUFA omega 6. Eat more saturated fat. Marbled beef fat, butter, coconut oil etc. Keep carbs low of course.
I put around 15-20 different types of nuts (usually walnut, pecan and Brazilian) in a blender along with berries, kale and kefir with a tablespoon of pumpkin seeds and tablespoon of sunflower seeds. This is a meal for me and I eat a meal around 3/4 hours later.
Guys, the soaking really makes nuts and seeds more digestable. I put them in a bowl with some still bottled water and in the fridge overnight. Next day, I empty that into a strainer and give it a rinse. I only make as much as I intend to consume.
I measure mine out according to the label on the bag, Pistachios, at Costco they have both shelled and un-shelled , its actually cheaper to buy the shelled ones. I kept all the shells and weighed them, I save $4 a bag now purchasing the shelled ones. For whatever reasons the ones with the shell are more expensive then the ones without. Where I am, at Costco - $18 - 680gram bag no shell. / - $22 - 1.3kg bag with shell - BUT keep all the shells and you get 680grams of nuts
I am currently on a nuts fast. Once I start that is it. And thank you so much for explaining about the pain and the bloating. Also Keto is so hard!!! I am at a place where I went off Keto and I have been coming everyday and failing everyday. May God just help me. I hope to do better this coming month of May.
mix cream cheese , cacao powder, xylitol, lots of salt, almond butter and walnut halves.. maybe some MCT oil to make it thinner. Spread it all over the walnuts. Its heaven. Im an addict I can't even lie. I have to stop or cycle on off at a minimum
I actually go nuts about nuts. Can't resist them once I start eating them. But after watching Dr. BERG's videos I have cut down alot. No more nuts about nuts now
i tip the cashews into my hand and I only eat what I can hold easily, and I have small hands, and that is all I will have all day of nuts.I find nuts very filling and rich so don't want any more than that many.
Thank you Dr.Berg for your great knowledge please keep up the great work and making more videos! Your a life changer at least you did for me. I have lost over 55 pound from your suggestion topic on keto as of mid. Feb. I thank you for literslly saving my life for more years to add to my health.
Hey Dr. Berg can we have cabbage or zucchini flour instead of Almond flour or coconut flour? The cabbage and zucchini flours are really easy to make with the help of dehydrator and a blender!
I eat lots of raw pecans (1-3/4 cup) and raw sunflower seeds (1/2 cup) every day along with tons of vegetables both raw and steamed plus also 6-eggs. I've been eating this way about a year and "feel" fine. I'm 6'2 and 175 lbs. I haven't experienced any negative consequences as a result of eating so many nuts and seeds but watch for signals saying that I'm overdoing my consumption of them. I also consume 6-tbsp of raw coconut oil with my food.
Holy smokes I'm 74 and just accept some pains. You just pointed out some real discomfort areas for me. Im doin great with weight loss almost 70 lbs this year. Now i will eat less nuts, peanut butter and maybe some pains will go away.
Nuts go deeper than what you talk about , Dr. Berg . Pistachios are a big problem for some people . They are in a different family of nuts as are cashews . It’s just interesting to note , because of possible allergies . Not just peanuts , being legumes and on the allergy list .
OMG! I can’t believe the timing of this video!! I have spent the weekend admonishing myself for going 🥜 on some roasted, salted almonds last week. I ate A LOT of them! I’m convinced it’s the reason for the scale not moving in a week. It’s like you read my mind and knew I needed to hear this! I’ve since given the remainder the almonds away to my neighbor 😂. Thanks so much for the info, Dr. B!

i prefer goind on regular butter grass fed ;) try, zero fiber, easy to digest, more vitamins, more nutrients, ahah, very useful when trying to do a 5000 kcal 21 days keto challenge
The phytates (enzyme inhibitor/antinutrient) for almonds walnuts and others is mainly in the thin brown skin on the nut, so white almonds are much better. As for walnuts, soak them in salted water for 12 hours before eating and what i do is also boil them for about 15 minutes before eating, this destroys the phytates almost completly.
I eat 1/2 cup sprouted nut(almond/cashew/watermelon seed/flax) flour/butters(soaked overnight and dehydrated). Is it fine? I consume 500g of mackerel/sardines/basa fish per week.
I ate around 80g of peanuts with grounded pork, cheese and veggies (1st/2meals), then I worked out, I burped like 200 times 😂 good thing I have gym at home 😅 1/4 of a cup is really small amount but I might need to adapt 😳
I would stay away from nuts besides macadamian nuts.. I guess sprouted pumpkin seeds and pecans are ok but not needed rather get my calories from somewhere else
Thank you Dr. Berg. I don't have any turn-off switch. 😋 I wish I could install one on myself. However, I am minimizing my carb intake. I appreciate your videos. They are always informative and educational :-)
I enjoy very much your videos Dr Berg; I follow you from Canada. I started the Keto diet about one month and a half and lost about 20 lbs. Thank you very much! It is to listen to you and anderstand.
I had problem with chocolates for 49years. Then stopped as my A1c too high. Then I did keto and IF but went too quick. I became a skeleton. Had to put calories back. Tipped mac butter to help me. But now seriously addicted.
A quarter cup of nuts is around 200 calories. A tablespoon of nut butter is around 100 to 120 calories. So, either the quarter cup should be reduced or the nut butter should be consumed in 2 tablespoons.
Dr Berg, please make video about about pain on left side. You always talk about pain on right side related to liver, gallbladder. For many years i experience pain but on left side. I noticed that this pain comes sometimes when I don't eat, during fasting, and desapere after meal, or when i ley down and rest
I just put my walnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, and almonds in a container with water mixed with 3 teaspoons of Windsor Salt Free (650 mg potassium per 1/4 tsp and 0 sodium!!) and a tablespoon of Pink Himalayan Salt. Tomorrow I'll drain and roast them, then season them with Nutritional Yeast while they are hot, let them cool, then store them. What a combo I think.
I gather from the video that you should restrict consumption if there's inflammation or irritation. I know I shouldn't consume too many because of the high fat content, otherwise it seems the main limitation, if you don't have an issue with nuts, is caloric intake and avoiding taking the place of other allocation of calories from other sources of daily nutrients which is easy to displace with high calorie nuts.
I eat a lot of nuts. Almonds hazelnuts macadamia nuts pistachios peanuts. I have some variety of nuts every single day sometimes twice A-day or more.. I suffer big time from canker sores. today I am stopping nuts for awile To see if the reduction in argenine helps prevent cankers.
i think a few spoons is okay depending on your body's limits.. peanut butter is great, but peanuts contain aflatoxins and can inflame some people... i love them too so i know how you feel (^_^)
On our pot of nuts : ´roasted in peanut, cottonseed and/or canola oil’. How about that ? It’s rarely just nuts, unless they’re in the shell. For almonds, well...hard to crush. Bought a pack of those and it was packed with vermin. A bit too ´natural’ for me.
Nuts are a staple in my diet. I do not get bloated. I have one ounce of walnuts, almonds and pumpkin seeds daily. I must be totally fat adapted and good bile production.
I do not have a gallbladder. Pecans will produced some awesome BM's. I do have gas but i do not care bloating i do care about. I have about 1/2 c thru out the day. My current mix is pistachios, pecans, cashews, sunflower seeds and.macadamias for sweetness.
Nut is so powerful, since i have eaten nut oftenly as i have followed drBerg 's advise my problem about arthritis is gone Thankful dr Berg, I am grateful your advice dr Berg.
I started eating lightly salted almonds 2 weeks ago, and eat them liberally throughout the day. I found that they seem to have a remarkable affect on controlling my weight.
So rule for life everything that is tasty (even healthy) should be avoided.. What is the snack that we can eat as much as we want and still lose weight?😭
When in doubt I look up one of ur videos and you have answer. I was wondering why I was starting to have gastric issues and some weight gain on keto! I've been sooo overdoing it with Pecans and Macadamias. I've prolly been eating 1-2 cups a day... ugh. At least I know now.. I gotta learn self control..
Yes you hit the nail on the head Dr Berg. I was doing way too much fat to handle as a whole and I had to ease up. My body was on overload with the new keto diet. Nut butters always used to make me gain weight lol. I loved almond butter and I have abstained. I guess I'll have to measure 1/4 of the pistachios I eat per meal. I don't want to overdo it. Do pistachios have Omega 6? I want to avoid too much. You mentioned in the other video Omega 3 which is great.
I used to eat lots of raw almonds since I was a kid, and when I 'm saying lots I mean around 100g at one go. Never experienced any bloating or indigestion or even constipation, also never had a kidney issue. But after watching this video I decided not to do it again! Thank you!
I eat quite a lot of nuts and no issues. I measure the amount with tablespoons. I think it’s important to have a portion size concept to keep consumption at predictable levels.
Vitamin K2 will rid you of any danger of kidney stones. This is an incredible vitamin that has been significantly removed from the human diet thanks to the demonization of animal fats and removing grass from animal diet. Ancient humans got proper amounts if they were adequately fed from consuming animal products.
Great timing! I was just helping someone who had a digestive problem and we found he was the nuts he was eating. He's going to stop eating nuts for a week to see if it resolves itself.
I just read today that the Walnuts, Pistachios, and Almonds can also have Aflatoxins. I gave up Peanut Butter because of this. Worrying about the liver cancer causing mold is scary. They did say to get the unshelled and store in freezer and keep for no longer than a month. What are your thoughts on this Dr. Berg? I mean everything seems to have some issue. Pistachios have such great health benefits and even Walnuts recently were found to shrink breast cancer tumors. How can we stay away from Aflatoxins?

The real problem with food and people is DISCIPLINE! Even healthy food becomes bad when overindulged. DISCIPLINE CHALLENGE NEEDED!! Thanks Dr. Berg.
We rack disciprine!
@@aznboi1027 I know this comment is a year old but you made me laugh.
So True
thats why theres fasting
Sorry for my question, Can someone explain to me what is overindulged?
Nuts are are the game changer in any salad!
Seeds are also!... Sunflower, sesame, chia, ect. ☺
I agree. I love adding raw walnuts and toasted black Sesame seeds to my salad. It’s so delicious!!
Who is watching this whiles eating nuts😀
pause

Here's a generic recipe for a power ketofriendly salad- the big 11 :
1) some fermented foods- kimchi, sauerkraut, mustard, pickle etc.
2) some seeds- sunflower, pumpkin, chia
3) mixed greens- arugula, rocket, butterhead, fresh basil, fresh thyme, fresh mint, fresh cilantro, baby spinach etc.
4) some cabbage
5) some peppers
6) some grated cheese
7) some apple cider vinegar
8) some nuts- almonds, cashew, walnuts, etc.
9) sea salt
10) some virgin olive oil
11) some aromatics- oregano, rosemary, thyme etc.
The fun is in the "some"
Just a little of each in guestimate proportion, except for the ACV, needs to be according to preferred tanginess.
Does not need to use all 11 ingredients, just any combination will do.
The only way to prevent overindulgence of almond butter is to not have it in the house. 😭
I did that before with regular coke, then it made me go out and buy 1 bottle at a time. Anyway I'm done with any sugary drinks.
Almond butter on coconut pancakes is so good! I onow sounds crazy but.... i can't do syrup so. And a side of bacon smh very addictive

I have to eat Roasted Nuts. Raw Nuts are nasty to me, but I like dry roasted Nuts better than the ones roasted in oil
Great video and yes I have the habit of over doing the nuts. Yes good point about extracting from the shells it will reduce the consumption
Everybody has... nuts are to tasty xD
i would scale the everest to get a ton of pistachios... no shell is going to stop me from obliterating the nut!
It will take me longer but it will not reduce how much shelled nuts (pistachios or peanuts) I would consume.

Don't worry, you haven't failed until you give up AND you can fail your way to success, both are true

A quarter cup of nuts is around 200 calories. A tablespoon of nut butter is around 100 to 120 calories. So, either the quarter cup should be reduced or the nut butter should be consumed in 2 tablespoons.
My turnoff switch on the mixed nuts is when the can is empty. (and there are no more cans in the pantry!)
As usual you're secretly answering my questions, the ones I was only asking myself. More potasium and less nuts for many reasons. Thank you.
Macadamia Nuts are lower in oxalates than pistachios
my turn off switch for nuts is broken :(
Raw nuts never bothered my stomach. That’s why I over I indulged all the time. Dang 😊
The nuts with the lowest amount of lectins are pistachios, walnuts, pecans, macadamia
I always have 2 tbsp of peanut butter at a time. Never just one!
Do your self a favor and skip nuts!! To much oxalates...specially in almonds!!
MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF LOVE AND RESPECT GRACE4YOU DR BERG YOU SO PERFECT
Dr Berg, please make video about about pain on left side. You always talk about pain on right side related to liver, gallbladder. For many years i experience pain but on left side. I noticed that this pain comes sometimes when I don't eat, during fasting, and desapere after meal, or when i ley down and rest
Pistachios are my fav😋
mk yaasss it is 😋
I absolutely love almond butter. A whole jar per day is easy peasy.
Yea i can imagine, delicious
Dear Dr.Berg, thank you so much for your sharing your knowledge with us. Really appreciate it.
I just put my walnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, and almonds in a container with water mixed with 3 teaspoons of Windsor Salt Free (650 mg potassium per 1/4 tsp and 0 sodium!!) and a tablespoon of Pink Himalayan Salt. Tomorrow I'll drain and roast them, then season them with Nutritional Yeast while they are hot, let them cool, then store them. What a combo I think.
I gather from the video that you should restrict consumption if there's inflammation or irritation. I know I shouldn't consume too many because of the high fat content, otherwise it seems the main limitation, if you don't have an issue with nuts, is caloric intake and avoiding taking the place of other allocation of calories from other sources of daily nutrients which is easy to displace with high calorie nuts.
I Love this guy. God bless
I eat a lot of nuts. Almonds hazelnuts macadamia nuts pistachios peanuts. I have some variety of nuts every single day sometimes twice A-day or more.. I suffer big time from canker sores. today I am stopping nuts for awile To see if the reduction in argenine helps prevent cankers.
I have to cut down my
Peanut butter intake? Oh ffs that was my go to food!!!
😨 peanut butter is so nice! I just had it as lunch!
i think a few spoons is okay depending on your body's limits.. peanut butter is great, but peanuts contain aflatoxins and can inflame some people... i love them too so i know how you feel (^_^)
Peanuts aren’t actually nuts ... they’re legumes
@@GoodGolly.MissLolly Neither are almonds, they're the seed of a drupe. So it's odd that all these disparate foods are grouped together really.
Aw dr likes this post
On our pot of nuts : ´roasted in peanut, cottonseed and/or canola oil’. How about that ? It’s rarely just nuts, unless they’re in the shell. For almonds, well...hard to crush. Bought a pack of those and it was packed with vermin. A bit too ´natural’ for me.
Nuts are a staple in my diet. I do not get bloated. I have one ounce of walnuts, almonds and pumpkin seeds daily. I must be totally fat adapted and good bile production.
I do not have a gallbladder. Pecans will produced some awesome BM's. I do have gas but i do not care bloating i do care about. I have about 1/2 c thru out the day. My current mix is pistachios, pecans, cashews, sunflower seeds and.macadamias for sweetness.
Glad 1/4 cup is not too much. Nuts never irritate my stomach! Love them, and the 1/8 - 1/4 cup is a nice “Dessert!”
2:33 whats that creepy noise i heard...had my headset volume up and it freaked me out lol
Halloween is coming:-)
I wasn’t craving nuts until I saw this video. Now I’m drooling and I want some.
I don't have a gallbladder anymore so I really appreciate this info!!!!! Currently taking bile salts but I'll be more careful with nut fats etc.
I’ve been eating way over my quota of almonds.. The right shoulder pain is dead on. Also, dry patches on my skin and breaking out.
I can do a can of peanut butter right after my main meal.
I am the god.
Never seen peanut butter in a can??
Pecan are macadamia are my favourite!
How long and at what temperature do you need to put nuts in oven for after soaked?
I was eating cashew nuts the other day and had 2 days headache after it.
Get those little bathroom sized dixie cups. They are about an ounce depending on the nut. if you are having nuts use them.
Yeah! Also little condiment cups.
Nut is so powerful, since i have eaten nut oftenly as i have followed drBerg 's advise my problem about arthritis is gone Thankful dr Berg, I am grateful your advice dr Berg.
I eat 20 gram nuts per day (Macadamia nuts, hazelnuts or walnuts)
I only take a small handful of mixed nuts each day ! That works for me 😄
I started eating lightly salted almonds 2 weeks ago, and eat them liberally throughout the day. I found that they seem to have a remarkable affect on controlling my weight.
So rule for life everything that is tasty (even healthy) should be avoided.. What is the snack that we can eat as much as we want and still lose weight?😭
Rule for life: Too much of anything is not good for you! Everything in moderation!
Raw meat & butter
No snacking when trying to lose weight.
Fingernails. Clean ones.
That's the problem. I do 200 to 300 g per day. Need to cut it out or even reduce it.
When in doubt I look up one of ur videos and you have answer. I was wondering why I was starting to have gastric issues and some weight gain on keto! I've been sooo overdoing it with Pecans and Macadamias. I've prolly been eating 1-2 cups a day... ugh. At least I know now.. I gotta learn self control..
Yes you hit the nail on the head Dr Berg. I was doing way too much fat to handle as a whole and I had to ease up. My body was on overload with the new keto diet. Nut butters always used to make me gain weight lol. I loved almond butter and I have abstained. I guess I'll have to measure 1/4 of the pistachios I eat per meal. I don't want to overdo it. Do pistachios have Omega 6? I want to avoid too much. You mentioned in the other video Omega 3 which is great.
I used to eat lots of raw almonds since I was a kid, and when I 'm saying lots I mean around 100g at one go. Never experienced any bloating or indigestion or even constipation, also never had a kidney issue. But after watching this video I decided not to do it again! Thank you!
None, right???😔 but I love almonds so much!!
I eat quite a lot of nuts and no issues. I measure the amount with tablespoons. I think it’s important to have a portion size concept to keep consumption at predictable levels.
Vitamin K2 will rid you of any danger of kidney stones. This is an incredible vitamin that has been significantly removed from the human diet thanks to the demonization of animal fats and removing grass from animal diet. Ancient humans got proper amounts if they were adequately fed from consuming animal products.
Great timing! I was just helping someone who had a digestive problem and we found he was the nuts he was eating. He's going to stop eating nuts for a week to see if it resolves itself.
I just read today that the Walnuts, Pistachios, and Almonds can also have Aflatoxins. I gave up Peanut Butter because of this. Worrying about the liver cancer causing mold is scary. They did say to get the unshelled and store in freezer and keep for no longer than a month. What are your thoughts on this Dr. Berg? I mean everything seems to have some issue. Pistachios have such great health benefits and even Walnuts recently were found to shrink breast cancer tumors. How can we stay away from Aflatoxins?
peanuts are not nuts. They are legumes
If you eat it in modération, it is ok.
Thé best thing to do is to eat 30 grams of buts and 20 grams of grains like grain flaxed....etc.
I have also bloating after eating too much nuts. this video was helpful
Thank you for giving helpful tips.
Most welcome!
Hey doctor good afternoon. We cannot eat almonds,cashews but we can eat the flour and cashew milk??why is that???
Dr. Berg, what about these?
What about hot buttered nuts? Love em, mixed nuts, not peanuts because they have fungi?
I eat around 50g to 80g of mixed nuts a day. So much better than eating crisps and chocolate ☺️
1:15 oh really! Yes i eat a lot of e.g. haxelnuts (like a meal of nuts) and my right shoulder hurts.
