Can we all move to Tennessee?!
I have been on me to for 6 weeks. I'm not overweight but 11 years of docs telling me exactly what Dr. Ken says is no no. Well guess what? Completely off all insulin and other prescription meds right away. 16 lbs wgt loss. Feel great. Skin clear and smooth, no more cracked heels. Hair soft and healthy. Even nails growing.
I am truly in love with this way of nutrition which is more benefit to me than anything else.
Dr. Ken makes it so easy to understand. My grown kids got me to try it and I will never go back. My last a1c was over 9. In may I will have new one drawn. When I told my doc what I was doing, he was dumbfounded. Look on his face was "there's a pill for that".
I have no other ills and am doing so good. I just celebrated my 18 year sober anniversary also.
WanderLore Congratulations on your anniversary and your success with KETO!
@WanderLore let us know what you A1c is now please.
We can ditto that...off Insilin,metformin, lost 69 lbs...VA Dr truly appalled that hubby is on Keto... even with these results...what's wrong with these people!!! 🙃
Yaaaaaay!!
Well done you👍!! If that story doesn't inspire someone I will be surprised. 😎
“Constipation can be a real pain in the butt!” 😂
true torture! ;)
😄
Quite accurate
Good 1
😳😂😂😂
Even listening to other "experts on keto" but dr. Berry is the only one that does not try to sell you anything! Only gives you information.
Yes true,not like so called doctor Eric Berg always want to sell his own products and besides his not even a medical doctor
Some people need supplements either way. It helps them to deal with many things until they get better. I am thankful for many who do offer supplements. They make your life a lot much easier. I really like Dr. Berry too. Please do a video on hemorrhoids.
"Sometimes, people have that look...and sometimes they're just constipated." Good one!
Great video. Started magnesium today.
Did you hear about the new documentary on "Constipation" ? Its not out yet ;)
😄
Fish Chris ha ha ha!
Ok, now this was hilarious! 😂😂😂
Good 1!!!
Lol Yeah I heard it got blocked.
“Share it with someone who may be constipated, you never know.” Funniest line I’ve ever heard! I love Dr. Berry
Ever since I had my GB out (1977) I had chronic diarrhea. Dr. ordered colonoscopy which was neg. I said I felt like I had a food allergy. I got poo pooed. I went keto which didn't make my Dr. happy. Guess what, no more diarrhea! Sooooo, I ate wheat and oat products...DIARRHEA! I am never ever getting off keto. Wish I knew about keto all those years ago.
Isn't that the way of some of the doctors in the medical field? I can trace almost all my physical problems back to nutrition, high cortisol, high insulin, etc. Keto/intermittent fasting reigns!
You are so true about diarrhea stopping. I got my GB removed and would have daily diarrhea. Keep it going we are on the best weight loss journey.
hah. I had the same issue with Wheat and oat products and they went away with lowcarb/keto. Don't have issues with rice though!
@Ilendir
All grains are evil!
This was a real eye-opener for me. I started to notice I wasn't going as frequent as before to the bathroom, yet I didn't feel there was anything wrong with my digestion. Also the fact that my weight was consistent everyday made me think my body was not accumulating anything...so I tend to agree that the absorption of animal products must be much higher with minimal intestinal by-product
Thank you again. You got me off metformin after 10 years with Keto as a diet controlled dietetic. I stay on Keto until Constipation pain makes me want to go to the emergency room. Keto is the only diet that works for me that has changed my life dropping 66 pounds, 10 inches in the waistline, corrected my triglycerides, corrected my AC1 and save two knee replacement. With this advice I am going back on Keto because I feared the constipation pain that almost made me call 911 more than once. Thanks
I've seen healthy plant based dieters reach that same point you did in a few months without constipation
Drink a large glass of pruine juice. It works great.
So interesting note, I’ve been dealing with a severe case of IBS and have been on three different medications three times a day just to be able to function. My Gastro said that the severity of my condition was comparable to someone with moderate to severe chromes. On Keto I don’t have to take my meds anymore, That’s been the best side effect bar none that I don’t have to worry anymore.
That's so great!!
That gives me hope. I was diagnosed with IBS 4 years ago and it just kept getting worse. Last month I tested positive for SIBO and the antibiotics didn’t help me. So, I just started the keto diet, against the opinions of my doctors. I have nothing to lose.
Thank you Dr. Berry, been on Keto for 7 weeks and was having constipation. Had just started taking magnesium and this answers why it was helping
More walking also helped a lot with constipation.
Before keto lifestyle i was always bloated and constipated. However, since being on keto, much more regular and no bloating. Yay!! Feeling great!
Thank you! I thought I MUST be constipated but your rationale made complete sense. I have no discomfort, eat large salads with meat daily. I kept asking BF, where did my food go. I feel so much better.
This video is 5 years old - and still good information. I just listened to it today and will order some magnesium citrate. Thank you - even though you will probably never see this comment. You are appreciated.
Now, 6 years old, and still good.
What about 🥓 grease? As a Southerner, you are required to have a jar of 🥓 grease sitting beside your stove. Or you will have your membership revoked.
Sorry, meant to post this on the cooking oils video!
lol
I guess I'm a real southerner then 😊
But bacon grease. I wish I could find a bacon grease holder like my mom's. It had strainer to keep out the bacon debris out.
Jovan Holden ...lol....lmao.......I’m a Yankee with southern dissent my family is all from the south and your comment cracked me up yes you got to have bacon grease sitting beside your stove ....they use Bacon grease for everything .....thanks for making me chuckle
I eat plenty of veggies and I have no problems. On Keto/IF I went from once, twice a day, to every other day.
@Billy B It should once your gut bacteria changes over. Don't be surprised if you get real loose too. It will pass. I've went onto once a day carnivore and am down to once every third/forth day. It's the best I've ever felt.
Thanks for being real but also lighthearted about this topic! When I saw the poop emoji I knew that I'd get a giggle with the education!
I’ve been on keto for 3.5 weeks and have lost 13 pounds (yay!). My constipation is completely gone. I take magnesium citrate daily at bedtime. I love this “diet.”
Laura Butler, do you eat multiple meats for each meal (protein purposes) or just one plus vegetables, cheese and butter?
Alex S I’m now on one meal a day in a 4 hour feeding window (2-6pm)... typically it includes either steak, hamburger, chicken or salmon cooked in butter and a veg like broccoli or a salad with my homemade dressing & crumbled bacon. I start the day with a combo of butter & coconut oil in my coffee. I have now lost 24 pounds. I eat plenty at meal time! One of the best things is NOT being hungry all the time.
Laura Butler, thank you so much for tou reply! I'm gonna have to give that a try 👍
Hi Laura how much magnesium citrate do you take (strength mg ) PLS PLS ? I have been on keto for 10 days and constipation is ☹️ . Coming from a plantbase diet and chronic constipation for years . Feeling better on Keto among for keto carnivore soon as I need to loose 25 lbs and I am over 54 yrs .
Good day !
Aurora26 👉I take (4) 250 mg tablets.
👉Video Request👈 Dr. Berry, could you address some of these questions in a future video: 1. Is set point fixed? 2. Is your metabolism faster in the morning? 3. Will you gain weight if you eat before bed even w/ keto and IF? 4. What time of the day is it best to exercise? Thanks!
"Sometimes people just have that look but sometimes they'are just constipated" - hilarious!
You're awesome! Love your videos. The magnesium citrate has changed my life. Constipation was an issue for decades and I've been looking for this kind of solution for a long time. Thanks for posting. Think of the thousands of people you have helped. You're a superhero : )
Thank you so much for watching, and sharing!
Which magnesium citrate product do u use ?
Yes, I gave up twice and it made me so depressed as I felt I failed! Now I bought magnesia and will use it daily until my stomach works.
Finally a Dr that makes sense!!! 💜
Hi Doc, Thanks for what you do! It's hard to find an MD with your sound reasoning for KETO. Been on KETO for 3 years to manage my TYPE II, and it has been a blessing with a combination of IF. Its hard to find a GP in oklahoma that will support what I do. Great advice as always!
keto makes me feel awesome!!!... never stopping!!💪👍
I began Keto earlier this month. Thought I was constipated. I had been use to pooping a lot with the whole grains my Dr. thought I needed :( Then I realized, my tummy wasn't bloated. No discomfort. So I rode it out. Doing fine now. I was already taking Magnesium. Thanks Dr Berry. With all the info out there, I feel I am being much more successful with the Keto Lifestyle because of your great info and common sense approach to good health.
I noticed the lack of bloating despite the reduced frequency in bowel movements. Coconut oil works for constipation, I've noticed.
@@Irisgomesjmjfaith That's a new one. How much do you use?
@@MsAnchovey 1 tap of coconut oil before bed
I think some people eat too much cheese when they begin Keto and that can really put the breaks on!
I feel like this is me😂😂 I know I need to decrease the amount of cheese I eat. It’s just so good and a quick snack. But I will make little tweaks and hopefully I clear up.
Yes, i feel like this is me. Didn't add a lot of grass fed cheese and cream, but more than usual due to the "keto coffee". I just feel super heavy and sluggish after eating a grass fed hamburger with some high fat cheese and three cups of low carb veg. Lost more weight and felt a whole lot better when i was eating a baby spinach salad with fruit and nuts everyday! :( *Also didn't have to supplement with Magnesium then!
Facts!!!
This is exactly what I'm dealing with right now.
yes why is that? this is happening to me right now
I'll tell you what got the ball roling for me: was to drink the bone broth by making soup from the juices left from cooking chicken drumsticks in the crockpot overnight. The meat fell off the bones and all that wonderful gelatinous (when chilled) broth was yummy and obviously a great bulking agent. Just add extra water, some chopped celery, green onion, salt and pepper to taste. Yumminess!!!
I am a Zero Carber, eat little protein and lots of fat. No constipation at all. Like your videos. It is a pity I am the only one to speak English here so I cannot share your videos among my friends and relatives.
Сергей Якунин if they want to learn to speak English, maybe someone can help. I would like to help but, I am not learning that language at this time. Best Wishes from America
The thunder rolling love it! 😀Great tips!Yes the magnesium has helped so much👍even like you said for muscle cramps! Thank you!
Magnesium citrate is wonderful. I agree. "Good job!" 😂 Haven't heard that since I was a kid. My mom always asked me if I "did a good job?" when I went to the bathroom.
Gayle Weber my small town N.C. grandmother always said “do a job”!
Smooth Move Tea....a cup bf bedtime...and I go in the morning....they sell this tea on Amazon.
Turmeric 1/2 teaspoon
Baking soda teaspoon
Frozen lemon shred much you want
Sprinkle black pepper in awaken turmeric
Mothers vinegar 2 teaspoons.
Glass of cold water
Also good to prevent cancer.
Works great..
So I'm in my thirties and just giggled at you saying "poop" because of the southern accent. I'm an adult.
Try Phillips Milk of Magnesia and Cod Liver oil. It works wonders!
Thats what I'm about to try
I do get Constipation, which is a real problem. It’s caused by my hypothyroidism. I add Benefiber and stool softener to my diet. I plan to add magnesium citrate to my diet. My endocrinologist insisted on benefiber and stool softener but I will try the magnesium.
FYI, My endocrinologist and Gastrointestinal doctors insisted that I do a low carb diet. They were thrilled I wanted to do the KETO diet.
Gosh, I wish I could have you for a Doctor, Dr. Barry!
"Some people just have that look" 🤣😂🤣😂💩 I felt that
Best video I’ve found on the topic! Straight forward which is much appreciated.
The world need's more doctors like you. I've been following a low carb lifestyle most of my life..thanks to my mum! Which lead me to discover keto 20 years ago, fasting is also part of my religion. I've noticed that people are doing water fasts and are not eating for weeks on end...is that really necessary? Isn't one or two meals good enough if you are fasting daily for 16 hours? Is there any benefit to water fasting for weeks gives you?
Cheers
I wish someone had answered this person.
Your completely right. My husband had stage 3B N2 M0 colorectal cancer. He underwent an illeostomy prior to treatment. If he ate any produce we would see it in his waste. Full raisins (sorry to be graphic lol) but the medical team told him to eat everything you were not supposed to. He does miss salads tho. I follow a very strict keto diet and feel great!
I'm new to your channel, but I have subscribed and I've been binge watching all of your videos! I've been doing keto almost nine months now and I've lost almost 50 pounds. I've learned a lot in the last several months, but I know there's still a lot left to be learned. Could you do videos on the following topics?...1. Autophagy (I didn't see this in your videos about intermittent fasting), 2. Using pee strips to test for ketones (Is this okay, only valid in the beginning, not worth my time at all?), 3. Using keto to lose weight vs. using keto to maintain weight (What changes should we start to make as we get closer to our goal weight or body size?), and 4. Exercise and keto (When should we start incorporating exercise? Should we let the diet take us to our goal weight first, or start exercising sooner?) I'd love to hear your opinions on these!
Heather Foreman A
Great list ^^^ Healther Foremen...yes, I'd be interested in these subjects as well.
I have a question...did you use like stevia or other keto friendly sweetners ever? Did you follow Keto very strict like NO fat bombs and mug cakes?? Please advise, thank you....what did you eat? Am discouraged bc I've only lost 13lbs and this is week 5😩
Not a problem I only lost 10 in 5 weeks now at 6 months I’m at 30
I discovered Keto and then discovered Almond flour, parmesan cheese and shredded cheese. I then discovered the worst constipation I have ever had locked me up so bad I had to get a catheter...I then discovered Cascara sagrada...a miracle herb for keto dieters. Along with magnesium and my gut health has never been a problem since. I also use more Coconut flour then almond flour and that helps also..
Dr Berry...I love you buddy, you make me LAUGH! How you can make the subject of pooping funny, almost cute...is a hidden talent of yours. God luv ya....still giggling in Idaho...;-))
The main reason I started dieting was to get rid of cellulite, however keto made it unbearable... That's why I tried the *Agoge diet* and it worked great
gonna try, thank you 💪
So glad to hear the paradigm buster that meat digests well and that we may likely poop less on Keto... Yeeee Haaaa!! Thank You!
Bread always increases my volume, it is definitely weird to be used to a certain pattern and then a diet change alters that pattern.
Thank you for the scoop on the poop!
This is SO true. Years of eating the SAD and lots of junk food I was easily going to do the number two, 2 sometimes 3 times a day. Now being on Keto I go once every other day if that. I am also taking Magnesium Citrate supplements.
I had constipation so bad that I had urinary retention. Kind of afraid to start back on the full Keto diet again.
Thank you so much magnesium citrate has really helped me. I have been going once every three days. Kind of scary. Now go once a day. Not a lot but at least consistent and puts me at ease. A few years ago when I started this way of eating got so constipated struggled to pass it. Really scary. So have been taking softeners but still you know don't want to go through that again. Now feel better that I won't get in trouble away from home.
There is a reason for everything your body does. If you do everything right, what exactly is the body trying to do when you get constipated? Chronic sufferers need to know.
Gonna pickup the magnesium citrate today. Started keto Saturday. Have not passed anything since Sunday. Today is Thursday.
What kind did you get? Did it work?
@@rjnoj-xb5kq To tell the truth, I don't remember, it's been a couple years. I remember it being a grocery store off the shelf brand though. I don't take now, nor have I in quite some time.
Thank you for all your hard work. Cheers from Canada.
We have to start "supporting" your videos doctor, The government will get mad end our education....
Can you please do a Video on what to eat for a day or week on Keto? Please, I beg of you!!
Tip #1 is great, no one has said this in all the videos I’ve watched.
The magnesium citrate Dr. Berry talks about in this video as a bowel stimulant is the same stuff you get as a bowel-emptying prep for colonoscopies. I can tell you from personal experience that it works great for emptying your bowels! My colon was EMPty!
Been taking citrate at night for a week and still got hard stools
Me too
I always have constipation whenever I go on a low carb diet.
Ground flax seed with plenty of water.
subs are blowing up !! keep up the great work Doc! be well.
Magnesium citrate is one of the cheapest yet least absorbable forms of magnesium. Magnesium glycinate is one of the most absorbable forms of magnesium and it is also more relaxing, as ilthe magnesium is fused with glycine, which is a relaxing amino acid.
I’m not constipated, just I don’t poop often like every 2-3 days. I’m mostly carnivore as well.
For me, constipation is bowel movement too firm and having to strain. This is what I seem to have since starting keto a week now. I'll try more water during day and longer walks...and start up again with my transdermal magnesium.
I used to have lots of stomach problems until I started keto... Little by little I haven't been as "sick" and visiting the throne as often as I used to. I think the carbs (bread, pasta, etc) were the ones getting me sick.
You are just brilliant. Love this doctor more than any source out there. ❤️
Since I started eating soil from the forest every day, I have not had a problem with constipation. My dog gave me the idea. He loves to bring me branches and stones. His mouth is full of forest soil. I realized: My ancestors also buried meat to make it last longer. They fermented meat. It is inconceivable that our ancestors did not eat soil regularly. And that's how I do it too. Every day when I walk my dog, I go into the forest, clear the litter (I don't want to eat parasites and germs) to get to the deeper ground. I eat about a gram of it. Since then I have had a bowel movement every day. I've been carnivorous for 1.5 years. Before that I often only had stools every 5 days. The stool is perfectly shaped. PS: One gram of soil contains a billion living things and around 5000 different species.
Thank you, Dr. Ken. I will try this.
Hey Dr Berry, another masterpiece. Dam, me and my wife love your channel. I have recently started a carnivorous diet. What's your opinion on this as a lifelong eating plan. I ran 12MILES and done 500 pushups yesterday. I think this diet is a superman version of keto. I talked to Jason Whittrock on this, he said he's sold on this. It's still keto but without plants. I'm gonna do this till I turn to dust. Please respond back? You're the Keto superman doc. Love your channel ,wish you were my Doc. God bless you.
Ah, glad to hear about magnesium citrate, will have a look for that.
was on keto only eggs and got constipated... added meat. different game
Dr., what about chronic constipation?
I probably should have finished my lunch before watching this, but I did laugh every time you said the word poop. With that said wow this was a good one, Thanks!
Ellen B medical health professionals talk alot about poop like it's politics.
Natural way to combat constipation...Smooth Move tea.
Black coffee!!
Vegetables?
Smooth move doesn't work
wow, such useful information, all these videos are really helping people, thanks.
Magnesium also helps with restless legs, at least for me.
I take mag malate or glycinate and or topical mag 'oil' for RLS and spasticity and a powdered mag citrate solution in warm water for BMs.
Is there a limit to taking magnesium citrate? I mean in terms of period? I don't want to be dependand eventually on it.
tried all that. still no go.
This from a guy who's been a very regular pooper my whole life. I am 60 but in the shape of a 20'sumthin. I am NOT exaggerating. I have eaten healthy and exercised regularly since I was 21. A couple yrs ago i switched from 3-5 meals a day to 16 hour I/F 6-7 days/week. I STARTED getting a lil constipated then. every so often. At the end of Feb/beginning of March, I switched to KETO to increase hypertrophy. Now, I am literally pooping glue (when I poop at all). I usually have a day or 2 of pooping a few pellets and then I have a day of going to the bathroom 6 times in the morning. With large loads and small loads and cramping galore. Once it finally gets out, I feel better, but OMG!!! This is really painful and highly disconcerting. Reminder, I was a very regular 3-4 large to medium, easily exited poop loads per day every day for 3.5 DECADES.
This is getting fn bonkers. I am starting to freak out over here.
All of my food is cooked at home. It's all nuatural, organic, non GMO and I eat 10-20% protein, 70% fat (high quality olive oil, mostly but also some coconut oil and grass-fed butter).
I'm going to the store now and will get some hi-quality MagCitrate and Potassium. I will try consuming at night (I HAD done that at first, but when it wasnt working, I quit fussing with it-maybe I didn't give that protocol enough time so I will do nightly for at least a month this time). How many mg's??
Thank you and I am sorry this msg was so long. I am onat least 6 months of elimination problems and this is sooo sooo foreign to me.
I might add, I found drinking lots of water or other clear liquids helps w/elimination.
Yes, Dr.Berry, I am a victim of constipation - even though I have IBS-D!!! ...Not pleasant, either!
It must be the southern drawl. Makes the word poop sound so flavorful.
I use a product called Mag O 7. It is all natural but it’s not to be used as a magnesium supplement. It is elemental magnesium and elemental potassium and GNC sells it. Awesome product!
#1 Know that animal products tend to be fully absorbed
#2 Add Magnesium Citrate
#3 Low carb veggies adds fiber to the diet and will cause fecal mater to be created
I'd tried all the tips to fix this issue but still number 1 on the Bristol Stool chart! At my T2 diagnosis 4 months ago it was noted I was B12 deficient, but only told this in Jan, nurse missed this result in Oct, but put me on Metformin, also known to deplete B12 and nothing done to correct it. A bit of googling found being B12 deficient can cause constipation, so started taking sublingual B12 and now issue fixed back to 3/4 on Bristol stool chart. Oh and 13 weeks of LCHF took off Metformin as I'd reduced my HbA1c
Magnesium stearate at bedtime keeps me regular.
You mean magnesium citrate
Magnesium stearate is a carcinogen haha
Thanks for the info and your time doc...
Apparently I need to switch to Magnesium Glysomate! I am so NOT constipated!
What is the dosage?
Most of keto-friendly vegetables are rich in insoluble fiber, unlike those you’d wanna avoid on keto, because they’re rich in soluble fiber. That means that fiber absorbs water and makes digestion easier (unlike insoluble).
So make sure you do your research before eating a bunch of veggies, because it might not be as effective.
I’ve been eating them all the way, still have problems.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Future topic: once you reach your desired weight, how do you transition into a relaxed keto lifestyle????
Hello, everybody. I am doing the carnivore diet for about 2 years. It has been great for my energy, weight maintanence, muscle pain, tooth sensibility, etc. But I spent the great majority of this time with diarrhea or constipation, in the last times only constipation. I tried every tip in the internet, without success. I was afraid I would have to abandon the carnivore diet, because I was even with pain and bleeding when "going to the bathroom". But finally i discovered something that made effect.
It is Brewer's yeast powder. I started using it about two months ago and it is literaly saving my ass. I know it is not a carnivore food and has fiber, that generate a lot of gas depending on the quantity... but for me it has being a real miracle. I ate about 150g per day in the biginning. Many days even more then 200g because it is really delicious mixtured with melted butter, with a pasty consistency. Now I am trying to limit it to about 75g to not surpass the 20g of carbs per day and stay in ketosis.
I am not sure if it is healthy. But maybe, if like me, you tried everything and is about to give up, it could be of some help.
Brilliant very succinct and it made me smile too. Thankyou Dr Berry.
What helped me was 3 tablespoons of unpastuerized sauerkraut and potato meal (resistant starch) before each meal.. I also eat 200g of raw cauliflower, and 100g och salad. For each meal.
I just had this conversation this morning with a friend. I just sent it to him.
Watching this whilst eating my keto breakfast 🤣🤣🤣 touch wood I've not had constipation so far. Thanks for another great video doc
Real bad constipation till I was crying and bleeding from my bottom. Will get those Mg Cit 😥
Dasani water is flavored with magnesium
sorry to change subject, but can you do a video on how to stop smoking
The kind of constipation where you strain to get it out, it's there, but you can't get it out, it's hard and hurts you to try to pass it.
Well, I feel like I've got to weigh in here--no pun intended. I've had my gallbladder removed since the early 1990s and initially had problems with constipation. When I went on a whole grain, vegie, nuts and seed, low meat and low fat diet, I had really good and frequent bowel movements. When I switched to the ketogenic lifestyle (despite eating a good amount of leafy greens and low-carb veggies) , almost immediately, I suffered from constipation again. I'm well hydrated, in case you might suspect that. Even with taking an electrolyte supplement, the problem persisted. I even added magnesium citrate and potassium gluconate separately, on top of the electrolyte supplement that also included them. I also use copious amounts of Himalayan sea salt. Only helped slightly. So I figured I'd try adding more fiber in the form of seeds, such as chia, poppy, and sesame seeds, as well as seed meals such as flax seed meal, sunflower seed meal, pumpkin seed meal, along with a limited (low-carb) amount of homemade nut butters. I also include psyllium husk powder when I can. This has finally helped the constipation problem, although I definitely don't have go as much as I used . By the way, I also take ox bile, which probably also helps. What's your opinion about this, Dr. Berry?
I take a fiber capsule that is granulated, 2 per day but can take more. Order through HSN (Home shopping network, ANDREW LESSMAN Vitamins, the best quality and no additives.
Thanks for another great video! Could you talk about Keto and IBS? Been doing Keto for 3 months and my IBS got worse. Also my stomach feels very acidic most of the time. I don't take any medication, I cut all dairy, but still the same. Not sure what to do about it :/
Wunderbar ! Have you tried drinking apple cider vinegar and lemon juice
Drop the veggies, go carnivore. I’m three weeks in without one bout of ibs. No more bloating!
