cholesterol does not cause heart disease, when you start keto your fat cells that are shrinking has cholesterol trapped in it and makes it go up cause it cannot get used as fuel so your blood gets flooded with it, it does not cause disease, in fact it makes so much stuff in our body we need it, all our sex hormones, vitamin D, brain health, cell health, etc..
Fed my kids meat, veggies and a little fruit. I cooked every day and yes I worked. I made their lunches every day for school. I had them walk with me or they could ride their bikes a mile after school. None of my kids have weight issues and they're 41, 40 and 37.
@@abbeyguijosa8482 Leftover meat, chicken etc.., veggies with a bit of a dip., cheese, and homemade cookies or other dessert, certain fruits that they liked.. They drank water or tea mostly. Whatever you child likes to eat...
We are the last civilized country that markets corn syrup as an ingredient in children's foods. Other countries have outlawed it. No real question its to ruin kids ealth.
My 5yr old is on keto and has been for the past two years. He has a rare form of epilepsy and keto has stopped 3 of his seizure types and his other seizures have become much shorter in length. Keto is a Blessing...My husband and I are going to start keto too...can't wait to start feeling better!💜
@@-.TS.- unfortunately keeping up w keto was too difficult to maintain... everything has to be measured and formulated into a calculator when doing keto for epilepsy... being as my son is so young, it became difficult to find things for him to eat and he's not much of a meat eater...we do a modified Atkins diet now...I keep him no sugar or 1 to 2 grams at most and low carb...we were only allowed 10g carb on medical keto vs now he gets around 20 to 25g a day...he still produces ketones, but does much better when we can be strict... it's just hard since he's so young...I recommend anyone w epilepsy to try it.. it does help, but it's difficult...my sons epilepsy is very rare so that doesn't help much either. It seems what works for one child might not for another...but def worth trying!
@@-.TS.- I'm sorry...also long term has resulted in high cholesterol due to the higher fats but as far as long term, that's about it...he takes medication to prevent kidney stones as well.
70 years ago my parents started raising all of us on KETO way of eating. Back then it wasn't called KETO, it was simply eating what we grew on the homestead. We raised our own beef, pork, chickens, and hunted game meats. We grew a garden too so our meals were heavy on meat and veggies. It was rare for us to have fruits and grain products. I always thought we came from a naturally healthy ancestral line, but now I think it was the foods we ate that resulted in a Lot of my ancestors celebrating their 100th birthdays while still living an active healthy life.
Put my 15 year old with high functioning Aspergers on Keto with me and loving it! Almost a year and he is feeling great and walks tall with an air of confidence! He couldn't wait to show off his new thinner self in 10th grade since he was pretty pudgy in 9th. It has also kept his psoriasis down! Wished I'd personally found Keto 30 years ago but better late than never!
I was a child of the 50s @ my parents ate a very natural diet l believe it was an earlly keto diet we had bacon @ egg for breakfast .cold meat or fish @ salad at lunch @ a meat broth for supper yes made with bones ...we would have bread but homemade which was different a wheat in those days it did not bloat you out ...we ate butter @ cheese ....cream ...we never snacked ..@ NO one was over weight ....Why did we go soooo wrong .....
My 3 children are on keto and carnivore! No more tonsillitis here, no more strepptococcus issues, no more allergies.... No more couch "potatoing" 😋 I have 3 healthy, loud, active, fantastic children here. They all follow their diet stricktly, because they love the way they feel now... Our life was horrible 2 years ago, before we decided to go LCHF and they feel even better on keto and carnivore.
Do you give them any vitamins and supplements? Just curious I am on keto and plan on getting my 6 year old whose autistic and 3 year old on the keto diet. Thanks in advance.
My daughter is 11 years old..she is having allergies and itching in eyes and sneezing.. especially in night...she is on vegetarian diet...I had the same issues when young and was vegetarian...now I am keto and feel good..but I am scared to reduce carbohydrates she might loose lot of weight and affect her getting matured and getting periods
@@Satjag Don't be concerned about that for your daughter. Those types of issues arise in girls who are anorexic and starve themselves. Anorexia is an eating disorder. However, eliminating refined carbs from your daughter's diet will greatly reduce her risk of developing type 2 diabetes down the line. It will help to protect her health, not harm her.
My son started a very low carb diet when he was 16. We had never heard of keto until recently, but he was eating very close to keto. He went from 262 down to 147. He is now 18 years old, and is no longer prediabetic or overweight at all. It's a phenomenal way to eat. I finally got on board myself a few months ago.
Man... I only have a few regrets..if I had a time machine to go back I would feed my 3 boys keto. They're all grown up now. I tell them about keto and pray..🤗 Thanks!
Same here! I have 2 adult daughters, 21 and 18. Hoping my example now from being Keto for the last several months will help them live healthier going forward.
Honestly even if parents don't want their children to do keto they at least need to do low carb. Child obesity is extremely bad. Why load them up on sugar??
Mspeaches1982 just saw a temper tantrum kid at the bookstore today....guess what the parents were feeding him from Starbucks.... If you guessed chocolate chip cookie....you got it! Silly parents...lol
Silly parents, yeah....but it's frustrating to think of the f---ed up kid that's gonna come out of it. Parents are supposed to RAISE their kids, not undermine their development ....smdh every time I think about it.
Bill Priday even before I learned about Keto diet I always saw parents feeding their kids MacDonalds or Burger King and one thought popped into my head....Child Abuse!!!
Superb Dr Berry. I believe this is among your most important videos. Even 150 years back a mother would not have fed her child any of the FACTORY MADE FOOD .. considering it to be UNREAL. Great Video at an appropriate time .. as MANY adult people are OK with Ketogenic way of eating but are CONCERNED if they should FEED THEIR KIDS KETO FOOD. Thanks for posting & helping. I'll do my part today starting with this one.
So I've been a type 1 diabetic for 20 years now. I started a true keto diet this weekend and my blood sugars have never ever been better. I'm finally in range with little to no insulin. I finally feel free.
Thank you Dr. Berry. I have five children of various shapes, sizes and ages and I know that keto is the only diet that is safe for everyone no matter if they are underweight, normal or overweght. It just makes sense. No deprivation. Just real whole foods. I homeschool and the keto diet is wonderful for good attitudes, attention spans, focus and comprehension. It's no wonder it is the diet prescribed most for neurological disorders in children. It is 100% safe and effective and I can't believe the difference in my children on keto versus sugar. If you have kids with behavioral issues you have to try keto. You will be amazed!
I'm 15 and on day 3 of carnivore. Getting the most nutrition I've ever had. I've been flexitarian and even vegetarian or vegan for the past 4 years... I already feel so much better
By the way we're constructed, we're nomadic scavengers and harvesters. We're not designed to hunt and kill by our own physical traits, unless the prey is very young, old, slow, stupid or ill. The design of our teeth, desire and digestive tolerance for meat shows we are designed to include meat in a substantial capacity within our diet. Even vegans desire meat and there is an industry dedicated to making all-plant food items that "taste like meat." If they didn't crave meat, why would there be a need for foods to satiate the craving?
My daughter is living with Down syndrome. Last week I attended a party in her class. For her snack, she was given Fruit juice, chocolate milk, yogurt (I'm sure this was not sugar free), fruit, cheerios and carrots. She ate almost all of it. I was in complete SHOCK and DISGUST! This was a "snack". Not a meal. The lunch meal would be served in the next 2 hours. We had the option of taking our children home after the party....which I sure did!!! I am on day 56 of Carnivore. Trying to heal Crohn's and Celiac. As of NOW, I will be sending all of my daughters food to school and her diet will be KETO/Carnivore. Good Gosh! I am looking forward to seeing improvements in her weight, energy and cognitive skills.
2 keto children and one carnivore with me here 😂😁 We got rid of our chronic strepptococcus issues and pollen allergies... My carnivore 10y old begs for going to swimm and plays volleyball in a sport club... My children are so happy with their diet.
@@leftoverciccia how did you switch your kids onto keto? And what are they eating in the morning? I would like to switch my teenager as well, but they always want to have bread or cereals. Thank you very much.
My son has been LCHF for 14 months, he is now 13. We never weighed him as we wanted the focus to be on health not weight but he has lost his puppy fat and his mood is more stable, this is our way of living for life x
Dr. Berry, I've been looking for information on this topic and could not find much. So THANK YOU for this video!! My 12-year old has been in Keto for a month and a half and he has lost 13 pounds. His pediatrician told us he was overweight based on his growth chart back in November and recommended him to lose some weight.
Another great video from DR berry. I 100% agree on what he is saying about today's food. Keep those videos coming so we can educate today's young and old people.
I absolutely agree with you that the SAD diet is 100% a fad. Never in the hundreds of thousands of years that modern humans have existed did we once eat high amounts of glucose not even counting fructose from white sugar and corn syrup which is MUCH worse. I honestly don't think any types of sugars are good for us in large doses. As an example Steve Jobs ate a frutarian diet and died of pancreatic cancer (RIP) and Ashton Kutcher was working on a film about Steve Jobs and decided to follow his diet, Kutcher developed pancreatitis. Too much fructose and not enough fat and protein is treading in dangerous waters for sure.
I am now convinced that sugars as such, except for very small amounts of certain berries that are NOT hyper-sweet, are bad for us in almost any amounts. And I do mean very small amounts. As for myself, I have gone almost strictly carnivore and in my entire life I have never had this much of a steady flow of energy---combined with weight loss.
Thank you Dr. Berry I'm so glad you took time out to do this...it really helps with all those who are ridiculing parents and grandparents for making the decision to feed their kids keto!! Looking great btw!!
The crazy thing is, as soon as people around us know how we eat, they start arguing with me... It was hard for me already to breastfeed my children that long (minimum 3 years pro child and ended up breastfeeding for 12 years in total). Even doctors always tried to have me stop this and feed processed crap! I didn't listen 😁😂 The same happenes now with keto, and I listen to your advice Dr. Berry.
I absolutely love your videos. Your demeanor and delivery make me feel like I am in the office having a conversation with my family doctor. I have lost 54 lbs in the last three months with Ketogenic eating. My son is almost 13 and wanted to join me. This video breaks down the ancestral common sense of a LCHF diet. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I figured that this diet would be fine for my son. I am going to start feeding him this diet along with me and my hubby. My son has cerebral palsy and I don't want to make his life any worse by feeding him the wrong things. Thank you for confirming that he would be fine to eat Keto too.
Could you make a video about kids on carnivore? I have 3 boys with leaky gut syndrome and our nutritionist recommended they eat carnivore for 30 days. Appreciate this video. I wish I knew all these things when my kids were babies!!! My husband and I will be eating carnivore too.
My daughter was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroid disease at thirteen. She has delays in growth and development. She struggles with learning and focusing. She’s now sixteen and I’m thinking Keto might help her catch up. It has helped me with my Hashimoto symptoms.
My daughter is 8years and 5 months. She's been 100% keto for many months and prior to that has only had sugar a few times since she was about 5. I had started her on Keto because her teeth were rotting. They have stopped rotting and I also give her a multivitamin, as well as magnesium for children and she drinks lots of water. Once in a while I'll let her have a chocolate chip cookie from the coffee shop but that's it. She has thinned out, is very calm and I can't even begin to tell you how clever she is! Also she is not vaccinated, she has a certificate from the state of Texas, a conscientious objection. Most states offer these.
@@antiochrocky9839 yes she is. With all the snacks they have available she does not miss anything. Thank you for asking. She’s smart, healthy, funny, thin (from parents who were overweight) active, calm, sleeps very well, etc.
@@JennWest-Liberty thank you for answering! I am thinking about starting keto for myselve and have no desire to make a separate meal for my kids. Having us all on one meal plan is so much easier, but I also don't want them missing the necessary nutrients. Good to know that there is another child out there thriving on this. 😊
@@antiochrocky9839 she is very healthy, I would however research the minerals necessary. Doing keto has seemed to increase the necessity to add minerals. I try to pay very close attention to how she says she feels. I let her drink Gatorade zero and mineral water. She eats sea salt also. I don’t let her drink much else unless she says she wants plain water. I avoid diet soda and sugar free soft drinks because she will flush out minerals that aren’t being replaced. The hardest part is getting my husband to understand all this. He likes to “treat” her by letting her drink diet soda but he won’t consider the flushing of the minerals when she does drink them. Other then that, when I first started her in keto I gave her vitamins, but it really seems as though she does not need them. If she starts to seem run down or slow or sluggish, I’d certainly try to figure out why by adding vitamins back in.
So happy you did this video! My son is ADHD and of course his dad and I are Keto. He eats whatever we cook for dinner (Keto) minus some of the veggies. He just won't eat them. So, I've been looking at options for him. We've removed all processed foods and fruit juices and most of the sugar except the occasional treat. He eat school lunches, however, and that includes his choice of chocolate milk. I'm thinking about sending his lunched everyday, but he still wants ham sandwiches. SO, I guess my point is, the struggle is real. I wish we would've been on this WOE since before he was born and he would've been raised into it. It would be sooo much easier!
Christy Rowell , summer is coming. With no school during the summer, you'll have more control over what he eats. Maybe if you can find a way to show him that his behaviors improve with keto, he will decide to go keto. Best wishes to you.
My two daughters have ADHD Inattentive, one confirmed ASD and the other in the process of getting an ASD diagnosis too. We tried very hard to introduce veggies from the very beginning, since I knew I was terribly picky eater and wanted to prevent that in my kinds as much as possible. But getting them into low carb still is challenging. But slowly but surely they are getting there. They now love steak (they wouldn't touch before) and keto friendly veggies that even I wouldn't eat a year ago (brussel sprouts in olive oil today, for example, I was impressed!). Just getting rid of the cereal crap in the morning helps, no more "hangriness" and mood swings midday!
Such wisdom! I'm sharing this on Facebook "tagging" my Granddaughter, for her 3 month old! Thank you for all the time and research you put into sharing your knowledge with the world! :)
I've been cooking keto for my family for over 3 years now, and can see a huge difference (positive!) from the days of whole grain cereal with bananas, Hamburger Helper, Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, Yoplait yogurt, Doritioes, granola bars, etc... I shudder to think of all the Goldfish crackers, fruit roll-ups, and other garbage I used to buy for them. Yuck!
Dr. Berry, please, please, please do a video addressing infant formula vs. cow/goat milk. Obviously, human breast milk is best, but so many mother's have to deal with a transitional period in which their baby is not yet ready for other food, but their breast milk production is insufficient. Then they have a choice...real animal milk or formula. It would be greatly appreciated if you would address this.
I run a keto coaching group and I used a lot of your videos to help and guide people this question comes up all the time and I answer it exactly how you have here. But because I'm a nobody I like to share information from people like yourself with the phds... what I'm now curious about is what should a infant be fed if breastfeeding is not an option?
Hello, i love your work and mission! 6 months on keto now. You inspired me to start making nutritional videos in greek. If you want to better your videos i would suggest a external microphone. The Rode Videomic me-L costs only 60$ and will make a huuuuge difference for the audio quality. Keep up the good work!
I am a radiographer and I once x ray a 10 Yr old girl who was 171 lbs! Thanks for the auto timer I didn't have to feel so guilty of the radiation she received because I didn't get to set up the techniques.
Sure wish I had known this when my kids were little:) Now I worry about all the kids being fed what I see in the grocery carts at the store. Especially my nieces and nephews. I hope parents hear this!
My daughter is diagnosed with epilepsy and altho it's not strictly keto because the Neurologist said she might get too thin. Because I am now New to Keto I asked about it. (I heard it was Made For Epileptic Children...) Now WHY did he Never tell me Before-!!! She is now a teen and only has absaunce (sp) seizures now. Not like the ones that occurred when she was 4-7 That was a Scarry time.. I would have liked to have Known This Information back then... Glad for YOU Doc-!!
You can't get "too thin" eating Keto. Your body knows better. It won't let you do that. Your metabolism raises and lowers itself as needed to prevent this. It's why exorcising doesn't work for weight loss. When you exorcise, your metabolism will slow since you are exerting so much energy. Watch videos from Dr. Jason Fung. He explains this.
Hi!! Love this video. I have 2 kids, 11 AND 9. I'm keto AND its kinda difficult sometimes with them but i wont give up 🤭. I have one cuestión: kids can take supplements? Like MG, omegas, if they dont like certain foods how can i make sure they get what they need. My 11, in every position he is, then he starts feeling his arms, hands, AND sometimes legs like "sleep" (dont know how you say it in english). I know he needs to fed his brain but he is very difficult for food . Thank you very much AND excuse my english i'm from 🇲🇽😄 🙌 love allá you share with us and thank you!!
We eat Keto friendly dinners as a family, but I have had issues with finding enough breakfast and lunch ideas for the kids. Whenever I eat breakfast (not everyday), I tend to have eggs and bacon, but my kiddos don't want that everyday. It's the same with lunch. Variety seems to be the hardest part. Plus, with my husband and I doing IF throughout the week, it makes meals for the kids more of a challenge. I really am trying to get away from the typical S.A.D. foods that we grew up with. It was easy for me and my husband, but it's harder for the kids. Any suggested resources, Dr. Berry?
I have my 15 year old with high functioning aspergers on keto and he loves eating this way! He has reached an ideal weight for his height and structure. down 15 lbs. since March. he doesn't like breakfast foods but will eat keto waffles with sugar free syrup and keto pancakes once in a while. So I make him things like individual keto cheese cakes or lots of times he wants just full fat mozzarella cheese plain cute up in thick strips and sometimes wrapped with pachuto or deli meat of choice. He also likes left over meats or his favorite leftover steak topped with Kerry gold butter and whatever left over veggies. He loves those buckeye peanut butter fat bombs. He also loves no-noodles lasagna in a mug. there's beanless chili topped with sour cream and cheddar cheese too! you can look up recipes on youtube...whatever is their favorite regular. foods there's a keto version! We love eating keto so much and will never eat any other way! sorry for the long post. hope it gave you some ideas at least.
A couple ideas for breakfast that can be made ahead - Meat bagels. Ham cup quiche. The meat bagel could probably also serve as a sandwich "bread" for lunch. My go to lunch is taco meat, sour cream, and olives on green salad dressed with homemade mayo. I would think keeping them interested in lunch would be very important. Back in my day we used to swap at lunchtime. Maybe get them invested by helping prepare their own lunch? Just a suggestion.
Great video Dr.b, I am in Keto Last 9 months with good benefits, and as a grant parent of a 1 year old girl , feel very difficult to convince her "parents"!!!
What kind of question is this? “Is drinking bad for adults? Yes. It’s no different for a child” Same thing applies! So much so that kids probably need more fat for their development. Okay, time to watch 😂
Do you have a guide as to how to do keto with kids properly? My daughter is 6 and I would like to make sure I’m giving her everything she needs food/supplement-wise . Thanks Doc!
sugar and processed crap foods are horrible. it makes me mad that my children's school says they are serving nutritious food when it is mostly chicken nuggets and frozen pizza warmed up. processed crap food is what it is! i send my children to school with good stuff, and good thing they love tuna, i guess most kids turn their noses to tuna. All their friends at school hate it. We love it
My 6-year-old loves eggs and hamburger meat in the eggs. he was so hungry yesterday and I asked what he wanted he said eggs and ground beef. lol. he ate 6 eggs and 2 hamburger patties for dinner. he is super active and super fit.
Hello Dr. Berry, I recently started the Keto diet and I love it! All the videos are a huge help to meI am also a new mom to a 6 week old son, and I want my son to be the healthiest and strong boy he can be. I was wondering when he gets of age to start sucking on fruits and veggies, and etc, what is your best choice for fruits or veggies for him to suck on so he can get the healthy diet, and all the nutrition he needs?
I agree with this video a hundred percent. However I feel compelled to speak about the current modern experience of Keto where electrolyte deficiencies are all-too-common. It would have been nice for you to touch base on that and provide a cozy little word or two to pacify potentially worried parents regarding that topic in that their child can experience keto and still avoid the keto flu. Does not matter if you have other videos already talking about this, repeat it again in this video.
I taught my children how to recognise the symptoms and they either tell me or take their salt. The flu dissapear with time. We also take magnesium and potassium or have a good sip of Dr. Berrys ketorade. He has a video about this too online.
Hello Dr Berry! My baby is 6 months and eats only breast milk. Now I will be not able to feed the baby with breast milk, because I am starting studies. Can you advise how to introduce food to the baby? First meat or egg? in which quantities? Thank you! Best wishes to you and your family.
so, my son is autistic and asperbergers is no long used for diagnosing autism. Instead, they use level 1, 2, and 3. Aspbergers would be equivalent to level 1. Aspbergers was removed because there are no consistent traits for level one autism. We are doing a ketogenic diet to reduce the amount of carbs he eats . Carbs equate to behavior meltdownds in my single experience with one child that has autism. Because autistic kids on the spectrum often eat very few foods, mostly eat carbs, as the grow and develop their nutrition is significantly impacted. when we first started with the diagnosis my first question when behaviors started was, "what did you eat?" School food and celebrations often contain crap for your kids. I am interested in participating in any kind of trials with keto for kids and autism. Please hook me up to these resources.
My husband and I are carnivores. We have a son with asd and adhd. We tried to put him on a keto few times but he cannot adjust. He becomes green, weak(can’t even sit) and vomits non stop. When we go to the hospital they see ketones in his blood and say that we should feed him carbs immediately! What can we do? For now We give him carbs in a moderate account
This helped me so much. Our family just started a few days ago and I have been nervous about feeding my kids these high fat foods. There’s so much information saying keto is dangerous for kids. Thank you for your helpful video. My kids are loving it so far and they don’t feel deprived at all like a “regular diet” can make you feel. It’s crazy how many carbs we really consume in a day. I still have so many things left in my house that need to go but it’s mind blowing. We have been having fun finding all sorts of substitutes for things they love. My kids are more involved and that’s the best part. I will say it is difficult keeping tract of how much fat they are taking in. Do you have any helpful tips for that? Or when to tell them that they have had enough?
Keto treated my child's epilepsy so I will be forever grateful to our medical team. But it's always done under medical supervision! It comes with side effects. Stunt growth, hair loss, kidney stones - just to name a few. It's not something you want your child to be on long term.
Just a question and please inform if this is related to food . Why all these thousands of year of keto diet humanity wasn't discovering any of the technologies and the inventions that it has been only for the last hundred years . Thank you ?
I’m writing this as I’m in the first 30 seconds of the video… I have a 2.5 year old son who is still breastfeeding. It’s important to note that I was low carb/ keto while pregnant due to Gestational Diabetes. My son, while he does enjoy things like sultanas (I think Americans call them something else but I’m not sure what- they’re dehydrated grapes lol) and some sour dough bread, he tends to naturally gravitate towards animal products the most: meat, cheese, yoghurt and sour cream, as well as some fruits. I’m curious as to whether children inherently know that this is the way they should be eating, or whether they do so due to the high fat content in breast milk or whether my diet during gestation is the reason for this.
My kid, Uncle keeps forcing the keto diet for her because of her hypertension and I don’t want her to be on it I gave her a healthy diet and the keto diet. It’s not a cure for that.
I know! It is just terrible. I had to supplement with formula my first baby due to low supply. I only read the ingredients when she was almost one and I was in shock. My second baby is now one month old and I hope my milk supply is better this time. But if not what kind of formula is best ?
Dr. Berry, I"m looking for information for female teen runners and keto. I have greatly benefited from my recent conversion to keto- from eating very 'healthy whole foods,' including milling and soaking grain, homemade yogurt, etc... My 16 yr old daughter seems to have the SAME digestive track as I do- colic and acid reflux as an infant, constipation, bad food causing skin issues and even asthma, tummy problems, extreme fatigue. Because of this, I wanted her to try keto, too. But, she also runs varsity Cross Country and Track (800, 1600). She has been on keto for a week, quickly held ketosis, and is showing signs already of fat-adjustment (craving fats, improved mood). She ended track at the middle of June at 40 miles a week, and she was planning last week to re-enter training at 25-30 miles, but is too tired to run. She is able to bike. Her coaches insist that she needs high carbs and highly discourage keto. Here are my questions: 1. Are there any resources for teen runners? All of the information I seem to be able to find is for ultra-endurance athletes. 2. How does keto coordinate with high intensity training? It seems that even keto ultra-distance elite athletes go high carb before and after a high intensity workout. Some even claim that keto is not ideal, even dangerous, for power sports and high intensity training. 3. AS per above: What about for races 4. How long will it take for her to be able to resume her previous workouts? Thank you so much for your work!!! Robyn Richardson
Dr Berry, is there any research looking into allergy and intolerance development related to elimination diets? I can see the health benefits of having my kids eat meat and veggies (because, duh, of course that's good for them) but I'm aware that in life they may be in situations where enough safe meat and vegetables to satiate them may not be available, whether that is army boot camp or traveling to Nepal. Should children be exposed to whole grains such as rice in order to reduce the likelihood that they will react negatively to other foods later in life? I see the clear short term benefits and developmental benefits based on nutrition as you've outlined in this video, but I'm concerned about long term clipping their wings.
Hi Dr Berry, I just have one question I agree that children need whole foods high in fat and proteins. However if you cut out the carbs won't that suppress the IGF and GH and make them grow shorter? I mean our ancestors were quite short compared to us...
Thanks, I was wondering about that. I’ll do my best to make sure he can eat this diet, however, it’ll be somewhat difficult because of I do have other family that babysit for me that don’t follow this diet nor care to.
Hello Dr, thank you so much for all your vidéos. What about keto and breastfeedind ? In France where I leave all physicians contre indicate keto for pregnancy and breastfeeding. As I totally trust you I would have like to have your opinion. Thank you very much for your answer.
Looking at where to start for my almost 6 month old grandson. His mom wants to give the cereals and I want to help her learn the natural way. Where can I find how to feed babies without buying from processed baby food?
Dr Berry, I don't mean to hijack this topic, but I have a question sort of related to it. I have been keto for over a year now, and I feel great and would love to continue it. However, I recently got some bloodwork done, and found out that I have some troubling numbers. First the good things, HDL was ok but not great, Triglycerides were very good, remnant cholesterol was good, c-reactive protein, insulin and lp-a were all good. What wasn't good was particle size, number and ApoB. My overall cholesterol was 266 and LDL was 205. Went to a cardiologist who is fine with me doing keto but did put me on a statin for LDL. was very hesitant, but decided to go with it for now. He has a family history of heart disease and has his father on a statin, and said he would not do that if he thought it was harmful. Seemed to be up on his research. So, basically, I am wondering if you think Keto is good or bad for someone in my situation. I thought it was supposed to help with particle size and number and maybe those numbers were even higher before keto. Is that likely a genetic thing? Sorry for the long post.
Ditch the statins. I was nurse to a neurologist for several years. And he said to his patients with dementia that he could NOT help them if they took statins. We would watch them IMPROVE when they went off the statins. Then, when their primary physician insisted they go back on them, they would decline quickly again. Cholesterol being bad for you is a myth. The brain is largely made up of cholesterol!! I have been doing keto for years now, lots of butter, animal fats and the like. I have LOST tons of weight. And when I had a HEART cath prior to a corrective surgery, my vessels were all clear---at age 67 at the time. Keto is GOOD for you! SO is cholesterol. Most docs have been taught the cholesterol myth as if it were a religion. Thank goodness that Dr. Berry found the truth and is teaching it!!
I know about the misinformation with cholesterol, and the LDL and overall do not really concern me, but that combined with the bad particle and ApoB results have me wondering what to do. I have heard from people that do not generally recommend statins that there is data to show that middle-aged men do actually benefit from them. I may not stay on them long depending on how future tests go.
Hey doc, you’ve said that you enjoy eating sweet potatoes and beets raw and it’s good like that because the fibre remains.. how come then you recommend cooking broccoli and asparagus and so on.. don’t they lose their fibres? Thanks!
My daughter was born with spina bifida, she is now 8 years old. She suffers from back pain and has club foot, so it's hard to be physically active. I do try to watch what my kids eat. It gets expensive because I have 4 kids... but I am trying. My husband, my oldest daughter (15) and I are on keto. I would like to get my 8 year old started but have been afraid. She has digestive issues too, do you think keto would help? Wouldn't she need a lot of fiber? Any info would be great!!! Thank you!!!
I had to stop keto and switch to WW. My cholesterol was going up not down.
Don't worry about cholestol. It is actually healthy for women to have high cholesterol! I have several videos about this you might like...
cholesterol does not cause heart disease, when you start keto your fat cells that are shrinking has cholesterol trapped in it and makes it go up cause it cannot get used as fuel so your blood gets flooded with it, it does not cause disease, in fact it makes so much stuff in our body we need it, all our sex hormones, vitamin D, brain health, cell health, etc..

Fed my kids meat, veggies and a little fruit. I cooked every day and yes I worked. I made their lunches every day for school. I had them walk with me or they could ride their bikes a mile after school. None of my kids have weight issues and they're 41, 40 and 37.
What kind of things would you pack your kids for lunch? I have a 5 yr old and would like to give him more keto type food for lunch
@@abbeyguijosa8482 Leftover meat, chicken etc.., veggies with a bit of a dip., cheese, and homemade cookies or other dessert, certain fruits that they liked.. They drank water or tea mostly. Whatever you child likes to eat...
Just because someone isn’t overweight doesn’t mean they’re healthy!!
@@russelpacheco6296 No kidding. All three of my children are healthy.
Great mama. Bless you and your family
Makes total sense. I think the root to a lot of problems in children’s health is sugar. Obesity in children is out of control.
We are the last civilized country that markets corn syrup as an ingredient in children's foods. Other countries have outlawed it. No real question its to ruin kids ealth.
Obesity is out of control in general
My children had sugar and they where tall glasses of water never fat
Well the first insult to a newborn's immune system and probably the most damaging are childhood vaxs. All of them! Read Dr. Neil Z. Millers book
My 5yr old is on keto and has been for the past two years. He has a rare form of epilepsy and keto has stopped 3 of his seizure types and his other seizures have become much shorter in length. Keto is a Blessing...My husband and I are going to start keto too...can't wait to start feeling better!💜
Updates? Have you gone more restrictive with carnivore?
Yes please, an update would be wonderful. Have epilepsy symptoms gone away? Wondering about long term results.
@@-.TS.- unfortunately keeping up w keto was too difficult to maintain... everything has to be measured and formulated into a calculator when doing keto for epilepsy... being as my son is so young, it became difficult to find things for him to eat and he's not much of a meat eater...we do a modified Atkins diet now...I keep him no sugar or 1 to 2 grams at most and low carb...we were only allowed 10g carb on medical keto vs now he gets around 20 to 25g a day...he still produces ketones, but does much better when we can be strict... it's just hard since he's so young...I recommend anyone w epilepsy to try it.. it does help, but it's difficult...my sons epilepsy is very rare so that doesn't help much either. It seems what works for one child might not for another...but def worth trying!
@@-.TS.- and unfortunately he still suffers from seizures...atonic (drop) seizures being the worst...🥺
@@-.TS.- I'm sorry...also long term has resulted in high cholesterol due to the higher fats but as far as long term, that's about it...he takes medication to prevent kidney stones as well.
70 years ago my parents started raising all of us on KETO way of eating. Back then it wasn't called KETO, it was simply eating what we grew on the homestead. We raised our own beef, pork, chickens, and hunted game meats. We grew a garden too so our meals were heavy on meat and veggies. It was rare for us to have fruits and grain products. I always thought we came from a naturally healthy ancestral line, but now I think it was the foods we ate that resulted in a Lot of my ancestors celebrating their 100th birthdays while still living an active healthy life.
Put my 15 year old with high functioning Aspergers on Keto with me and loving it! Almost a year and he is feeling great and walks tall with an air of confidence! He couldn't wait to show off his new thinner self in 10th grade since he was pretty pudgy in 9th. It has also kept his psoriasis down! Wished I'd personally found Keto 30 years ago but better late than never!

I was a child of the 50s @ my parents ate a very natural diet l believe it was an earlly keto diet we had bacon @ egg for breakfast .cold meat or fish @ salad at lunch @ a meat broth for supper yes made with bones ...we would have bread but homemade which was different a wheat in those days it did not bloat you out ...we ate butter @ cheese ....cream ...we never snacked ..@ NO one was over weight ....Why did we go soooo wrong .....
My 3 children are on keto and carnivore! No more tonsillitis here, no more strepptococcus issues, no more allergies.... No more couch "potatoing" 😋 I have 3 healthy, loud, active, fantastic children here. They all follow their diet stricktly, because they love the way they feel now... Our life was horrible 2 years ago, before we decided to go LCHF and they feel even better on keto and carnivore.
Do you give them any vitamins and supplements? Just curious
I am on keto and plan on getting my 6 year old whose autistic and 3 year old on the keto diet.
Thanks in advance.
How long did it take for them to be like that? What do you feed them?
My daughter is 11 years old..she is having allergies and itching in eyes and sneezing.. especially in night...she is on vegetarian diet...I had the same issues when young and was vegetarian...now I am keto and feel good..but I am scared to reduce carbohydrates she might loose lot of weight and affect her getting matured and getting periods
@@Satjag Don't be concerned about that for your daughter. Those types of issues arise in girls who are anorexic and starve themselves. Anorexia is an eating disorder. However, eliminating refined carbs from your daughter's diet will greatly reduce her risk of developing type 2 diabetes down the line. It will help to protect her health, not harm her.
My son started a very low carb diet when he was 16. We had never heard of keto until recently, but he was eating very close to keto. He went from 262 down to 147. He is now 18 years old, and is no longer prediabetic or overweight at all. It's a phenomenal way to eat. I finally got on board myself a few months ago.
How fast did he drop the weight
Smart boy you have and smart parents
My son has grown 6 inches and lost 20 pounds in 9 months. Cured my F-3 liver no scarring no fat only lifestyle for my family.
Man... I only have a few regrets..if I had a time machine to go back I would feed my 3 boys keto. They're all grown up now. I tell them about keto and pray..🤗 Thanks!
Same here! I have 2 adult daughters, 21 and 18. Hoping my example now from being Keto for the last several months will help them live healthier going forward.
@@debbieplechaty704 😊 fingers crossed
I swear you read my mind... My daughter gets bullied at school because of her tummy, so I was just thinking about this
Michelle Scott
Did you end up putting your daughter on keto?
High saturated fat moderate protein means excellent brain development and a lean body.
Exactly right! 😀😀😀
Honestly even if parents don't want their children to do keto they at least need to do low carb. Child obesity is extremely bad. Why load them up on sugar??
Mspeaches1982 Exactly.
Mspeaches1982 just saw a temper tantrum kid at the bookstore today....guess what the parents were feeding him from Starbucks....
If you guessed chocolate chip cookie....you got it!
Silly parents...lol
Silly parents, yeah....but it's frustrating to think of the f---ed up kid that's gonna come out of it. Parents are supposed to RAISE their kids, not undermine their development ....smdh every time I think about it.
Bill Priday even before I learned about Keto diet I always saw parents feeding their kids MacDonalds or Burger King and one thought popped into my head....Child Abuse!!!
Superb Dr Berry. I believe this is among your most important videos.
Even 150 years back a mother would not have fed her child any of the FACTORY MADE FOOD .. considering it to be UNREAL.
Great Video at an appropriate time .. as MANY adult people are OK with Ketogenic way of eating but are CONCERNED if they should FEED THEIR KIDS KETO FOOD.
Thanks for posting & helping.
I'll do my part today starting with this one.
So I've been a type 1 diabetic for 20 years now. I started a true keto diet this weekend and my blood sugars have never ever been better. I'm finally in range with little to no insulin. I finally feel free.
Thank you Dr. Berry. I have five children of various shapes, sizes and ages and I know that keto is the only diet that is safe for everyone no matter if they are underweight, normal or overweght. It just makes sense. No deprivation. Just real whole foods. I homeschool and the keto diet is wonderful for good attitudes, attention spans, focus and comprehension. It's no wonder it is the diet prescribed most for neurological disorders in children. It is 100% safe and effective and I can't believe the difference in my children on keto versus sugar. If you have kids with behavioral issues you have to try keto. You will be amazed!
I'm 15 and on day 3 of carnivore. Getting the most nutrition I've ever had. I've been flexitarian and even vegetarian or vegan for the past 4 years... I already feel so much better
Good job young man!
By the way we're constructed, we're nomadic scavengers and harvesters. We're not designed to hunt and kill by our own physical traits, unless the prey is very young, old, slow, stupid or ill. The design of our teeth, desire and digestive tolerance for meat shows we are designed to include meat in a substantial capacity within our diet. Even vegans desire meat and there is an industry dedicated to making all-plant food items that "taste like meat." If they didn't crave meat, why would there be a need for foods to satiate the craving?
Eddie excellent point man!
Never realized how silly a “veggie” burger is...if you want to be a veggietarian...why do you want burgers ?! Lol
My daughter is living with Down syndrome. Last week I attended a party in her class. For her snack, she was given Fruit juice, chocolate milk, yogurt (I'm sure this was not sugar free), fruit, cheerios and carrots. She ate almost all of it. I was in complete SHOCK and DISGUST! This was a "snack". Not a meal. The lunch meal would be served in the next 2 hours. We had the option of taking our children home after the party....which I sure did!!! I am on day 56 of Carnivore. Trying to heal Crohn's and Celiac. As of NOW, I will be sending all of my daughters food to school and her diet will be KETO/Carnivore. Good Gosh! I am looking forward to seeing improvements in her weight, energy and cognitive skills.
My teenagers are Keto and one is eating carnivore with me! our pediatrician gave the thumbs up...but I was gonna do it anyway!😉
2 keto children and one carnivore with me here 😂😁 We got rid of our chronic strepptococcus issues and pollen allergies... My carnivore 10y old begs for going to swimm and plays volleyball in a sport club... My children are so happy with their diet.
Wow! Your doc is awesome. Mine tells me to limit their fat intake. Such outdated way of thinking...
@@leftoverciccia how did you switch your kids onto keto? And what are they eating in the morning? I would like to switch my teenager as well, but they always want to have bread or cereals. Thank you very much.

My son has been LCHF for 14 months, he is now 13. We never weighed him as we wanted the focus to be on health not weight but he has lost his puppy fat and his mood is more stable, this is our way of living for life x
Dr. Berry, I've been looking for information on this topic and could not find much. So THANK YOU for this video!! My 12-year old has been in Keto for a month and a half and he has lost 13 pounds. His pediatrician told us he was overweight based on his growth chart back in November and recommended him to lose some weight.
My pleasure. Sooo many parents wish someone would share this info with them
Another great video from DR berry. I 100% agree on what he is saying about today's food. Keep those videos coming so we can educate today's young and old people.
Thank you Doctor!! I was debating on this and now I'm sure there's no better option than keto for my family!!! Thanks a lot!
I absolutely agree with you that the SAD diet is 100% a fad. Never in the hundreds of thousands of years that modern humans have existed did we once eat high amounts of glucose not even counting fructose from white sugar and corn syrup which is MUCH worse. I honestly don't think any types of sugars are good for us in large doses. As an example Steve Jobs ate a frutarian diet and died of pancreatic cancer (RIP) and Ashton Kutcher was working on a film about Steve Jobs and decided to follow his diet, Kutcher developed pancreatitis. Too much fructose and not enough fat and protein is treading in dangerous waters for sure.
I am now convinced that sugars as such, except for very small amounts of certain berries that are NOT hyper-sweet, are bad for us in almost any amounts. And I do mean very small amounts. As for myself, I have gone almost strictly carnivore and in my entire life I have never had this much of a steady flow of energy---combined with weight loss.
Thank you Dr. Berry I'm so glad you took time out to do this...it really helps with all those who are ridiculing parents and grandparents for making the decision to feed their kids keto!! Looking great btw!!
The crazy thing is, as soon as people around us know how we eat, they start arguing with me... It was hard for me already to breastfeed my children that long (minimum 3 years pro child and ended up breastfeeding for 12 years in total). Even doctors always tried to have me stop this and feed processed crap! I didn't listen 😁😂 The same happenes now with keto, and I listen to your advice Dr. Berry.
I absolutely love your videos. Your demeanor and delivery make me feel like I am in the office having a conversation with my family doctor. I have lost 54 lbs in the last three months with Ketogenic eating. My son is almost 13 and wanted to join me. This video breaks down the ancestral common sense of a LCHF diet. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I figured that this diet would be fine for my son. I am going to start feeding him this diet along with me and my hubby. My son has cerebral palsy and I don't want to make his life any worse by feeding him the wrong things. Thank you for confirming that he would be fine to eat Keto too.
Could you make a video about kids on carnivore? I have 3 boys with leaky gut syndrome and our nutritionist recommended they eat carnivore for 30 days. Appreciate this video. I wish I knew all these things when my kids were babies!!! My husband and I will be eating carnivore too.
My daughter was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroid disease at thirteen. She has delays in growth and development. She struggles with learning and focusing. She’s now sixteen and I’m thinking Keto might help her catch up. It has helped me with my Hashimoto symptoms.
Love this! I'm a parent,grandparent and a childcare provider! I even want my new puppy on keto!
My daughter is 8years and 5 months. She's been 100% keto for many months and prior to that has only had sugar a few times since she was about 5. I had started her on Keto because her teeth were rotting. They have stopped rotting and I also give her a multivitamin, as well as magnesium for children and she drinks lots of water. Once in a while I'll let her have a chocolate chip cookie from the coffee shop but that's it. She has thinned out, is very calm and I can't even begin to tell you how clever she is! Also she is not vaccinated, she has a certificate from the state of Texas, a conscientious objection. Most states offer these.
@Jenn West, is your daughter still doing well on keto?
@@antiochrocky9839 yes she is. With all the snacks they have available she does not miss anything. Thank you for asking.
She’s smart, healthy, funny, thin (from parents who were overweight) active, calm, sleeps very well, etc.
@@JennWest-Liberty thank you for answering! I am thinking about starting keto for myselve and have no desire to make a separate meal for my kids. Having us all on one meal plan is so much easier, but I also don't want them missing the necessary nutrients. Good to know that there is another child out there thriving on this. 😊
@@antiochrocky9839 she is very healthy, I would however research the minerals necessary. Doing keto has seemed to increase the necessity to add minerals.
I try to pay very close attention to how she says she feels. I let her drink Gatorade zero and mineral water. She eats sea salt also. I don’t let her drink much else unless she says she wants plain water. I avoid diet soda and sugar free soft drinks because she will flush out minerals that aren’t being replaced.
The hardest part is getting my husband to understand all this. He likes to “treat” her by letting her drink diet soda but he won’t consider the flushing of the minerals when she does drink them.
Other then that, when I first started her in keto I gave her vitamins, but it really seems as though she does not need them. If she starts to seem run down or slow or sluggish, I’d certainly try to figure out why by adding vitamins back in.
So happy you did this video! My son is ADHD and of course his dad and I are Keto. He eats whatever we cook for dinner (Keto) minus some of the veggies. He just won't eat them. So, I've been looking at options for him. We've removed all processed foods and fruit juices and most of the sugar except the occasional treat. He eat school lunches, however, and that includes his choice of chocolate milk. I'm thinking about sending his lunched everyday, but he still wants ham sandwiches. SO, I guess my point is, the struggle is real. I wish we would've been on this WOE since before he was born and he would've been raised into it. It would be sooo much easier!
Christy Rowell , summer is coming. With no school during the summer, you'll have more control over what he eats. Maybe if you can find a way to show him that his behaviors improve with keto, he will decide to go keto. Best wishes to you.
My two daughters have ADHD Inattentive, one confirmed ASD and the other in the process of getting an ASD diagnosis too. We tried very hard to introduce veggies from the very beginning, since I knew I was terribly picky eater and wanted to prevent that in my kinds as much as possible. But getting them into low carb still is challenging. But slowly but surely they are getting there. They now love steak (they wouldn't touch before) and keto friendly veggies that even I wouldn't eat a year ago (brussel sprouts in olive oil today, for example, I was impressed!). Just getting rid of the cereal crap in the morning helps, no more "hangriness" and mood swings midday!
My 10year old is carnivore... He moved just naturally in this direction as he hates greens... He very active and healthy.
Would be helpful if you'll make a video about best and worst food for baby! It's so important nowadays!
Such wisdom! I'm sharing this on Facebook "tagging" my Granddaughter, for her 3 month old! Thank you for all the time and research you put into sharing your knowledge with the world! :)
My son just turned four. We've been doing keto for the last three months. I'm glad to hear this. Glad I know I'm feeding him properly.
Hello how is your son doing on keto I'm currently considering applying this diet to 4 year old daughter. Are the supplements your giving him.
Sent your video to my daughter. The pediatrician told her that her children need carbs for brain development.
you can get carbs from veggies.
🤦🏼♀️
I've been cooking keto for my family for over 3 years now, and can see a huge difference (positive!) from the days of whole grain cereal with bananas, Hamburger Helper, Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, Yoplait yogurt, Doritioes, granola bars, etc... I shudder to think of all the Goldfish crackers, fruit roll-ups, and other garbage I used to buy for them. Yuck!
Dr. Berry, please, please, please do a video addressing infant formula vs. cow/goat milk. Obviously, human breast milk is best, but so many mother's have to deal with a transitional period in which their baby is not yet ready for other food, but their breast milk production is insufficient. Then they have a choice...real animal milk or formula. It would be greatly appreciated if you would address this.
I run a keto coaching group and I used a lot of your videos to help and guide people this question comes up all the time and I answer it exactly how you have here. But because I'm a nobody I like to share information from people like yourself with the phds... what I'm now curious about is what should a infant be fed if breastfeeding is not an option?
Hello, i love your work and mission! 6 months on keto now. You inspired me to start making nutritional videos in greek. If you want to better your videos i would suggest a external microphone. The Rode Videomic me-L costs only 60$ and will make a huuuuge difference for the audio quality.
Keep up the good work!
Just finished you book today. I sure wish I had known all that long ago. Thank you so much!
Dr Berry is looking younger!! Love your videos!
I am a radiographer and I once x ray a 10 Yr old girl who was 171 lbs! Thanks for the auto timer I didn't have to feel so guilty of the radiation she received because I didn't get to set up the techniques.

My daughter is diagnosed with epilepsy and altho it's not strictly keto because the Neurologist said she might get too thin. Because I am now New to Keto I asked about it. (I heard it was Made For Epileptic Children...) Now WHY did he Never tell me Before-!!! She is now a teen and only has absaunce (sp) seizures now. Not like the ones that occurred when she was 4-7 That was a Scarry time.. I would have liked to have Known This Information back then... Glad for YOU Doc-!!
I'm so happy you've discovered keto for you and for your daughter!
you know keto is not just weight loss diet you can actually control weigh with the amount of fat she eats if she does not want to lose any
K D , a great movie for you to watch is “First , do no harm “ with Meryl Streep .
You can't get "too thin" eating Keto. Your body knows better. It won't let you do that. Your metabolism raises and lowers itself as needed to prevent this. It's why exorcising doesn't work for weight loss. When you exorcise, your metabolism will slow since you are exerting so much energy. Watch videos from Dr. Jason Fung. He explains this.
i have been in maintenance for 3 years i never get to thin
Hi!! Love this video. I have 2 kids, 11 AND 9. I'm keto AND its kinda difficult sometimes with them but i wont give up 🤭. I have one cuestión: kids can take supplements? Like MG, omegas, if they dont like certain foods how can i make sure they get what they need. My 11, in every position he is, then he starts feeling his arms, hands, AND sometimes legs like "sleep" (dont know how you say it in english). I know he needs to fed his brain but he is very difficult for food . Thank you very much AND excuse my english i'm from 🇲🇽😄 🙌 love allá you share with us and thank you!!
We eat Keto friendly dinners as a family, but I have had issues with finding enough breakfast and lunch ideas for the kids. Whenever I eat breakfast (not everyday), I tend to have eggs and bacon, but my kiddos don't want that everyday. It's the same with lunch. Variety seems to be the hardest part. Plus, with my husband and I doing IF throughout the week, it makes meals for the kids more of a challenge. I really am trying to get away from the typical S.A.D. foods that we grew up with. It was easy for me and my husband, but it's harder for the kids. Any suggested resources, Dr. Berry?
I have my 15 year old with high functioning aspergers on keto and he loves eating this way! He has reached an ideal weight for his height and structure. down 15 lbs. since March. he doesn't like breakfast foods but will eat keto waffles with sugar free syrup and keto pancakes once in a while. So I make him things like individual keto cheese cakes or lots of times he wants just full fat mozzarella cheese plain cute up in thick strips and sometimes wrapped with pachuto or deli meat of choice. He also likes left over meats or his favorite leftover steak topped with Kerry gold butter and whatever left over veggies. He loves those buckeye peanut butter fat bombs. He also loves no-noodles lasagna in a mug. there's beanless chili topped with sour cream and cheddar cheese too! you can look up recipes on youtube...whatever is their favorite regular. foods there's a keto version! We love eating keto so much and will never eat any other way! sorry for the long post. hope it gave you some ideas at least.
Thank you!
A couple ideas for breakfast that can be made ahead - Meat bagels. Ham cup quiche. The meat bagel could probably also serve as a sandwich "bread" for lunch. My go to lunch is taco meat, sour cream, and olives on green salad dressed with homemade mayo. I would think keeping them interested in lunch would be very important. Back in my day we used to swap at lunchtime. Maybe get them invested by helping prepare their own lunch? Just a suggestion.
Dr Berry, this makes so much sense! You are a guru. I'm trying to feed my kids fattier meats and lots of fats from butter nuts and avocado.
Great video Dr.b, I am in Keto Last 9 months with good benefits, and as a grant parent of a 1 year old girl , feel very difficult to convince her "parents"!!!
What kind of question is this? “Is drinking bad for adults? Yes. It’s no different for a child”
Same thing applies! So much so that kids probably need more fat for their development.
Okay, time to watch 😂
Totally agree!
Our daughter is on keto. She has very sucessfully lost alot of weight.
Do you have a guide as to how to do keto with kids properly? My daughter is 6 and I would like to make sure I’m giving her everything she needs food/supplement-wise . Thanks Doc!
A timely instructive video, worth living...
I would love to feed my grandson keto, but he stays weekends with his other grandma. Would it be safe 4 days on and 3 days off?
sugar and processed crap foods are horrible. it makes me mad that my children's school says they are serving nutritious food when it is mostly chicken nuggets and frozen pizza warmed up. processed crap food is what it is! i send my children to school with good stuff, and good thing they love tuna, i guess most kids turn their noses to tuna. All their friends at school hate it. We love it
My 6-year-old loves eggs and hamburger meat in the eggs. he was so hungry yesterday and I asked what he wanted he said eggs and ground beef. lol. he ate 6 eggs and 2 hamburger patties for dinner. he is super active and super fit.
God bless you
Hello Dr. Berry, I recently started the Keto diet and I love it! All the videos are a huge help to meI am also a new mom to a 6 week old son, and I want my son to be the healthiest and strong boy he can be. I was wondering when he gets of age to start sucking on fruits and veggies, and etc, what is your best choice for fruits or veggies for him to suck on so he can get the healthy diet, and all the nutrition he needs?
I agree with this video a hundred percent. However I feel compelled to speak about the current modern experience of Keto where electrolyte deficiencies are all-too-common. It would have been nice for you to touch base on that and provide a cozy little word or two to pacify potentially worried parents regarding that topic in that their child can experience keto and still avoid the keto flu. Does not matter if you have other videos already talking about this, repeat it again in this video.
I taught my children how to recognise the symptoms and they either tell me or take their salt. The flu dissapear with time. We also take magnesium and potassium or have a good sip of Dr. Berrys ketorade. He has a video about this too online.
Please have a topic that says KETO HEALTHIEST DIET FOR KIDS.
Hello Dr Berry! My baby is 6 months and eats only breast milk. Now I will be not able to feed the baby with breast milk, because I am starting studies.
Can you advise how to introduce food to the baby? First meat or egg? in which quantities?
Thank you! Best wishes to you and your family.
so, my son is autistic and asperbergers is no long used for diagnosing autism. Instead, they use level 1, 2, and 3. Aspbergers would be equivalent to level 1. Aspbergers was removed because there are no consistent traits for level one autism. We are doing a ketogenic diet to reduce the amount of carbs he eats . Carbs equate to behavior meltdownds in my single experience with one child that has autism. Because autistic kids on the spectrum often eat very few foods, mostly eat carbs, as the grow and develop their nutrition is significantly impacted. when we first started with the diagnosis my first question when behaviors started was, "what did you eat?" School food and celebrations often contain crap for your kids. I am interested in participating in any kind of trials with keto for kids and autism. Please hook me up to these resources.
My husband and I are carnivores. We have a son with asd and adhd. We tried to put him on a keto few times but he cannot adjust. He becomes green, weak(can’t even sit) and vomits non stop. When we go to the hospital they see ketones in his blood and say that we should feed him carbs immediately! What can we do? For now We give him carbs in a moderate account
This helped me so much. Our family just started a few days ago and I have been nervous about feeding my kids these high fat foods. There’s so much information saying keto is dangerous for kids. Thank you for your helpful video. My kids are loving it so far and they don’t feel deprived at all like a “regular diet” can make you feel. It’s crazy how many carbs we really consume in a day. I still have so many things left in my house that need to go but it’s mind blowing. We have been having fun finding all sorts of substitutes for things they love. My kids are more involved and that’s the best part. I will say it is difficult keeping tract of how much fat they are taking in. Do you have any helpful tips for that? Or when to tell them that they have had enough?
As if giving up Twinkies and Doritos is dangerous for your kids health. Some people just don't use their brains do they?
Funny that your ad was for 'veggie delight' patties...
Great video
Keto treated my child's epilepsy so I will be forever grateful to our medical team. But it's always done under medical supervision! It comes with side effects. Stunt growth, hair loss, kidney stones - just to name a few. It's not something you want your child to be on long term.

@JonVictoria Yoder Keto and Carnivore are perfect for all humans all ages.
Love it great reminder on eating
Just a question and please inform if this is related to food .
Why all these thousands of year of keto diet humanity wasn't discovering any of the technologies and the inventions that it has been only for the last hundred years . Thank you ?
You're a good teacher Dr. berry!
I’m writing this as I’m in the first 30 seconds of the video… I have a 2.5 year old son who is still breastfeeding. It’s important to note that I was low carb/ keto while pregnant due to Gestational Diabetes. My son, while he does enjoy things like sultanas (I think Americans call them something else but I’m not sure what- they’re dehydrated grapes lol) and some sour dough bread, he tends to naturally gravitate towards animal products the most: meat, cheese, yoghurt and sour cream, as well as some fruits. I’m curious as to whether children inherently know that this is the way they should be eating, or whether they do so due to the high fat content in breast milk or whether my diet during gestation is the reason for this.
My kid, Uncle keeps forcing the keto diet for her because of her hypertension and I don’t want her to be on it I gave her a healthy diet and the keto diet. It’s not a cure for that.
My god read the back of formula and food for baby's and kids... So much crap.
I know! It is just terrible. I had to supplement with formula my first baby due to low supply. I only read the ingredients when she was almost one and I was in shock. My second baby is now one month old and I hope my milk supply is better this time. But if not what kind of formula is best ?
Dr. Berry,
I"m looking for information for female teen runners and keto.
I have greatly benefited from my recent conversion to keto- from eating very 'healthy whole foods,' including milling and soaking grain, homemade yogurt, etc... My 16 yr old daughter seems to have the SAME digestive track as I do- colic and acid reflux as an infant, constipation, bad food causing skin issues and even asthma, tummy problems, extreme fatigue. Because of this, I wanted her to try keto, too. But, she also runs varsity Cross Country and Track (800, 1600).
She has been on keto for a week, quickly held ketosis, and is showing signs already of fat-adjustment (craving fats, improved mood). She ended track at the middle of June at 40 miles a week, and she was planning last week to re-enter training at 25-30 miles, but is too tired to run. She is able to bike. Her coaches insist that she needs high carbs and highly discourage keto.
Here are my questions:
1. Are there any resources for teen runners? All of the information I seem to be able to find is for ultra-endurance athletes.
2. How does keto coordinate with high intensity training? It seems that even keto ultra-distance elite athletes go high carb before and after a high intensity workout. Some even claim that keto is not ideal, even dangerous, for power sports and high intensity training.
3. AS per above: What about for races
4. How long will it take for her to be able to resume her previous workouts?
Thank you so much for your work!!!

Dr. Berry, my husband and I skipped keto and went straight into carnivore, we have 2 toddlers .. is the carnivore diet safe for toddlers?
dr berry is it safe to eat children ? or even keto children ?
Dr Berry, is there any research looking into allergy and intolerance development related to elimination diets? I can see the health benefits of having my kids eat meat and veggies (because, duh, of course that's good for them) but I'm aware that in life they may be in situations where enough safe meat and vegetables to satiate them may not be available, whether that is army boot camp or traveling to Nepal. Should children be exposed to whole grains such as rice in order to reduce the likelihood that they will react negatively to other foods later in life? I see the clear short term benefits and developmental benefits based on nutrition as you've outlined in this video, but I'm concerned about long term clipping their wings.
So glad I found this video! I have a little one with several food allergies one being egg. We are an egg free house. Can they still do well?
I mentioned to my husband getting rid of the bread and skinny popcorn but that didn’t go over too well lol
im 17 and thin as a stick. at tips doc to not lose weight on keto???
Thankyou for this video!!
What is normal fasting blood glucose for toddlers and older kids?
Hi Dr Berry, I just have one question I agree that children need whole foods high in fat and proteins. However if you cut out the carbs won't that suppress the IGF and GH and make them grow shorter? I mean our ancestors were quite short compared to us...
kids getting shorter from keto (or low carb) is a common myth
so, in short - yes.
Thanks!
Thank you very much John!!
Thanks, I was wondering about that. I’ll do my best to make sure he can eat this diet, however, it’ll be somewhat difficult because of I do have other family that babysit for me that don’t follow this diet nor care to.
Hello Dr, thank you so much for all your vidéos. What about keto and breastfeedind ? In France where I leave all physicians contre indicate keto for pregnancy and breastfeeding. As I totally trust you I would have like to have your opinion. Thank you very much for your answer.
Looking at where to start for my almost 6 month old grandson. His mom wants to give the cereals and I want to help her learn the natural way. Where can I find how to feed babies without buying from processed baby food?
Dr Berry, I don't mean to hijack this topic, but I have a question sort of related to it. I have been keto for over a year now, and I feel great and would love to continue it. However, I recently got some bloodwork done, and found out that I have some troubling numbers. First the good things, HDL was ok but not great, Triglycerides were very good, remnant cholesterol was good, c-reactive protein, insulin and lp-a were all good. What wasn't good was particle size, number and ApoB. My overall cholesterol was 266 and LDL was 205. Went to a cardiologist who is fine with me doing keto but did put me on a statin for LDL.
was very hesitant, but decided to go with it for now. He has a family history of heart disease and has his father on a statin, and said he would not do that if he thought it was harmful. Seemed to be up on his research. So, basically, I am wondering if you think Keto is good or bad for someone in my situation. I thought it was supposed to help with particle size and number and maybe those numbers were even higher before keto. Is that likely a genetic thing? Sorry for the long post.
Ditch the statins. I was nurse to a neurologist for several years. And he said to his patients with dementia that he could NOT help them if they took statins. We would watch them IMPROVE when they went off the statins. Then, when their primary physician insisted they go back on them, they would decline quickly again. Cholesterol being bad for you is a myth. The brain is largely made up of cholesterol!! I have been doing keto for years now, lots of butter, animal fats and the like. I have LOST tons of weight. And when I had a HEART cath prior to a corrective surgery, my vessels were all clear---at age 67 at the time. Keto is GOOD for you! SO is cholesterol. Most docs have been taught the cholesterol myth as if it were a religion. Thank goodness that Dr. Berry found the truth and is teaching it!!
I would be concerned about being on statins. I would be concerned about all of the side effects.
I know about the misinformation with cholesterol, and the LDL and overall do not really concern me, but that combined with the bad particle and ApoB results have me wondering what to do. I have heard from people that do not generally recommend statins that there is data to show that middle-aged men do actually benefit from them. I may not stay on them long depending on how future tests go.
You can pay to have an online appt with Dr. Berry. If your health is important to you... then do that. He'll help you figure this out
Really? I didn't know that.
I'm here for the accent
Hey doc, you’ve said that you enjoy eating sweet potatoes and beets raw and it’s good like that because the fibre remains.. how come then you recommend cooking broccoli and asparagus and so on.. don’t they lose their fibres? Thanks!
My daughter was born with spina bifida, she is now 8 years old. She suffers from back pain and has club foot, so it's hard to be physically active. I do try to watch what my kids eat. It gets expensive because I have 4 kids... but I am trying. My husband, my oldest daughter (15) and I are on keto. I would like to get my 8 year old started but have been afraid. She has digestive issues too, do you think keto would help? Wouldn't she need a lot of fiber? Any info would be great!!! Thank you!!!
Great info! Thanks Dr Berry!
Great video !!! 👍👍👍
Hey, what about the study about this 2 kids died while doing keto? I’m a teen but since I heard of this, I’m skeptical in trying it
Holy crap I hope more people knew this
