0:00 Introduction: Do we need carbohydrates?
0:45 Simple vs. complex carbohydrates
1:30 Vegetable carbs
1:45 Carbohydrates and fiber
2:08 Carbohydrates in food
2:39 Carbohydrates in fruit
3:52 Carbohydrates in grains and starches
5:34 Summary: Do we need carbohydrates?
In this video, we’re going to talk about carbohydrates. The primary function of carbohydrates is to provide the body with energy. Many people think that carbohydrates are your only source of energy, but the body is able to utilize protein and fat for energy as well.
Carbohydrates are classified as either simple or complex. Simple carbohydrates include foods like table sugar, honey, and agave nectar. They are absorbed quickly by the body, giving you a burst of energy.
Simple carbohydrates spike the hormone insulin, which regulates blood sugar. Insulin lowers your blood sugar after you consume simple carbohydrates, causing you to crash.
Complex carbohydrates take longer for the body to process because of additional components such as fiber.
Vegetables contain carbohydrates along with fiber, vitamins, and minerals. You get the majority of your vitamins and minerals from vegetable carbs, as well as fiber to feed the microbes in your intestinal flora.
Beans and fruits are carbohydrates that can be good for some people; however, they contain a lot of carbs. If you are trying to lose weight or if you have a slow metabolism, it may be beneficial to limit these foods.
Grains are refined carbohydrates that can be very hard on the digestive system. Grains are not very nutrient-dense, so I it's best to avoid them.
Similar to grains, starches are low in nutrients and turn into sugar fairly quickly. I recommend avoiding starches if you are trying to lose weight.

He so wanted to say at loudly: we don't need carbs. But he can't, so he don't get in to the debate. But now, in 2020 he could say it loudly and clearly. Because we all trust him the most.
I recently reduced carb intake from over 200 per day to around 80. Lost 12 pounds in 2 months and feel much better
200 to 80 what? Slices of bread?

everytime i see Dr Bergz video, it breaks my heart because of my less knowledge about food....but i simply love this guy... Keep up the good work
He is an absolute dreamboat
You make a great point about the knowledge of food. Many of us have that confusion about food, because we've been fed so much misguided information about what is good for us and what is not. And some of the information we have heard over the years about certain foods has been completely wrong. And I like how Dr. Berg tells us in the video that what doesn't work for one person, might work for another.
Hi I started about two weeks ago. I cut out the sugar and carbs. Ive lost about 3 pounds. I only need to lose 20 pounds. I don't have the excessive cravings for carbs. I'm able to not be hungry at night.
nancymarieg lucky you I have done the same plus IF for almost three weeks now and I have lost 0 pounds not even a .5
Doreen Nantamu Thats weird
@@Happymind-happyworld. I'm in a similar situation as you, but I've decided to give it time. I have noticed though, that my joints no longer ache... I used to have pain in my neck, lower back and hips. That's pretty well gone, so that alone is worth it. Have you noticed any other improvements?
Saloni Negi Have you lost weight? Remember you dont want to overconsume food. If you eat to many fats Your not going to run on your Body fat.
Did the same and lost 25kg
Dr Berg u r the best! Learnt a lot of stuffs from you that no one else shares on youtube . My good wishes are always with you and Karen. Keep it up!
I follow everything he says. I’m finally starting to shed this toxic weight off my mid section. I’m doing tons of veggies and salads. I absolutely agree with him about the carbohydrates. They are a “dirty” source of fuel and the increased insulin levels are very very bad. I started feeling really really bad and I’m finally turning it around. I definitely feel as though the keto diet is saving my life right now. My body is responding quite well!
Thank you so so so much for this information!!!!!
Yeahh my mid section i the only place i stored fat as a kid everywhere else i be thin turns out it caused hormonal problems (pcos and ovarian cycts) and i m barely outta my teens 😣😣 will consuming fruits daily be safe for me tho?
Same here 😊
this is the first time I have filled out a health questionnaire that it actually gave me the results, some helpful things to do AND didn't try to sell me their own supplements and sign me up for online appointments all very spendy. I have been watching Dr. Berg on you tube for a few weeks and I am excited and grateful for his help.
That was simple and very well explained. Thank you! I actually get it now.
Have a great day. 😊😎
Thank you for the video. Well put together. And tackles health, weight loss and weight gain. So you've answered questions that relate to everybody's body and goals. Good video.
The thing about all this is I need to keep watching Dr. Berg's videos- at least one day, even on weekends, or I tend to forget what I am doing and go back to my old, tired, carby, sugary routine. Dr. Berg keeps me aware and awake.
The last phrase killed me 5:34. We DON'T need carbohydrates. We need minerals and vitamins.
He said we do need carbohydrates for our vitamins and minerals and he meant the carbohydrate in vegetables. Vegetables contain carbohydrates and we do not require the extra dose that is in most bread and grains. Consume only brown rice and potatoes if you want extra carb. Correct me if I am wrong.
?
Regular consumption of brown rice is also said to be harmful by different research due to presentation of arsenic
Tell the fucking restaurants. They LOVE to serve you rice, bread pasta.
@@romcroantwn7194 fruits and veggies have pesticides.
if you want to eat fruits, eat seasonal fruit! There is a reason if mother nature gives us plenty of fruits in summer and almost none in winter! In summer we sweat much more so fruits with all of its nutrients and liquids can help us better deal with the heat! When you are in doubt, just look at the nature, look at what other mammals do!
I really appreciate your videos dr. Berg. I got so many information from you that after putting them together I actually managed to lose 14kg in two months (from 84 to 70, I am 35y old) by changed food menu and running every other day (45min, slow pace). Now I keep doing it and I have to say I am pretty happy with results. Thank you :)
Thank you for explaining this in an easy to understand way. So much conflicting information out there and you always stay on point and make it interesting. Appreciate all your videos and wealth of information.
Dr. Berg, it is great you are providing publicly the right, correct, truthful information, so people get aware of what to do and what not to do. It is of great service to humanity and it´s health. I watch your vids, I learn a lot and I apply what I learn. Thank you.
Awesome video! I have been weight lifting and maintaining a fairly keto friendly diet. This video answered a lot of unknown questions and quickly! :)
Glad you found it useful!
thanks dr berg. another great informative video well presented as usual. keep up the good work you are a great motivator.
Great info, trying every day to follow you, big fan of ya, from India.
Excellent content and presentation. Real value in 5 min. Cudos!
I fast every single day. One day I eat the next I don’t carbs. In oatmeal’s. Help me reach that level.
1 cup of oat meal
2 table spoons of mct oil
1 cup of walnuts
16 oz of almond mild with
2 scoops of kachava
1 scoop of vegetarian protein
2 table spoons of almond butter crunchy one
8 oz of carrot juice
An every day I drink a 16 oz of sea salt with 1 table
Dr. Berg, you're the best. A lot of misleading keto diet experts out there.
I doubt you have heard other keto experts be misleading, they are not talking about a non-keto diet as dr. berg was talking about here. Here he talked about a low carb, but not a carb free diet. Dr. Berg also has talked about the safe way to have a zero carb diet, BUT you're now needing to consume the less desirable cuts of meats from only grass-fed/wild fished animals so you get the "carbs" and vitamins through the animal as your body takes the over consumption of meat and transforms it into carbs and gaining the nutrients from what it ate. Everything is black and white, but multifaceted. Look at the topic being discussed to see if the information is for you. My diet is actually most like Dr. Bergs diet and that's not this video or his videos on zero carb carnivore. This video, however, does reach the diet needs of most overweight people, set down the sugary soda and have berries and a salad and not an apple and pasta if you want to lose a few pounds.
It’s not good for mma , jiu Jitsu etc
Definitely need some carbs .
I don’t know any high level , jacked athletes that are on purely keto
I'm waiting for the video "do we need food??" Its gonna be tha best
Richard Rajabu 🤣🤣🤣
Actually we don't... Modern society tells us foods are for Fun but in fact we need them for energy
Easy, ask yourself and do what you want to do.
lol stupid, if someone tells you to not eat sugar and pizzas you go all-offended, crying wetting your pajama like "u SaYiN wE dOn'T nEeD fOooOoD??!!"
Breatherianism lol
Keep up this kinda stuff, appreciated Doc,
thank you, really well explained... having a spectrum of what works for some may not work for others is useful for families ... my youngest child can accomodate more carbs than my older boy and he can tolerate more than I or my husband... really appreciated this video presentation.
load up on the vegetables and leave the rest of the carb's behind.
Ha! Thank you for clearing this up Dr Berg! I've always gone back and forth on the carbs dilemma. I've been trying to increase fat intake and decrease carbs but worried about my energy levels. What is your take on sweet potatoes? Is it similar to beans or starches?
Thank you SO MUCH for all your teaching 💯🥰
Haven't eaten a carb in over 11 months. My blood markers are phenomenal.
Stuke what do you eat in a day ?
@@xymonau2468 why what happens to the testosterone? Just curious
@Zechs Merquise I thougt vegetables are minerals
@Zechs Merquise haha
Not a single carb, eh?
Starches is what made me gain all the weight
Suzy Darbinyan no it’s eating too much that makes you gain weight. Carbs may bloat you but if you eat them in moderation, they shouldn’t make you gain weight
Mine are starches and grains. I react to them like the next thing i know my face blows up like a birthday balloon. I stick mainly on veggies even when i binge on them i dont get water retention that much.

Thanks Doc, ever since I started doing your version of Ketogenic diet and intermittent fast, I have more energy than ever, no longer hungry all day long, and I feel happy all the time.
How wonderful, the fake doctor made you superhuman
I learned, thanks doc.
Thank you Dr. Berg... Everything you say is true with my type of body..
I've followed Dr Berg and done low carb and IF almost 4 weeks now because of health issue. And I've been a little sceptical about cutting all the carbs.
Now after seeing this video I feel I've got permission to eat carbs again 👏🏼👏🏼 because I do have high metabolism and I'm not interested on loosing weight, so I guess it's ok then. But I will buy more organic now! Thanks
Dr. Berg - You're spot on. Great video. Thanks.
I cut consuming meat one time and my iron levels suddenly dropped and i became anaemic. However, for the past 3 months i’ve haven’t been eating carbs and i feel absolutely fine, i’ve actually lost weight
When i say carbs i mean starch types
All your ancient ancestors liked this comment.
this man is gona make all vegan people cry.......................
right 2 millions of his followers are more idiotic than you are :).
Vegans like me wound up not eating less carbs, it is,t our goal. Our thinking is we shouldn't eat animals and that we dont eat animal products like eggs because of the negative impact in the environment, look up how much clean water they use to have an egg as end product.
You're clearly stupid or jealous because you can't manage to become a vegan, its too hard for you

Dr berg, you are love
Serious weight lifter here; this advice is ok depending on your goal. I've tried a lot of diet variations. I have determined through self experimentation and research that to keep me at a peak performance level, I have to consume carbs, daily. Otherwise my explosive stregnth just isn't there. I just want to put that caveat out there.
I completely disagree. Im a serious lifter as well. I have tried IF+Keto Diet for the past 6 weeks. Lost 10 lbs and gained strenght. I broke records on bench press, squats and Deadlift. No Carbs at all!
You are a serious sugar addict that never truly adapted to keto then.
if you get adapted well thats not gonna be an issue at all.
Everybody is different, i have to eat moderate amount complex carbs to stay strong and have energy, tried Keto but didnt work for me thats all may work for other people.
You are spot on. People that don’t eat carbs and are on keto get more sustained energy but don’t get that explosive energy
I'm 33+ weeks pregnant with GD. other moms and the dr.s are yelling at me, i need carbs! and yet i am only getting my carbs from veggies and fruit with a protein for dinner. since i made the diet switch, my sugars have been unbelievably beautiful, i've lost weight which i am technically over weight anyways. and my energy level has sky rocketed, even though i take my afternoon nap. and from what i have learned, reading, researching and watching Berg's videos as a reference, I am surprised more dr.'s dont advise and teach their patients more about the healthy way of treating their diseases. my dr.s would rather i over eat their ideas of daily servings of grains carbs and then inject myself with insulin afterwards. it's insane! i plan on continuing this new diet change post delivery and teach it to my children.
Canis Fidelis Hi I am currently pregnant and was diagnosed with GD..How is the baby and are you still going strong post pregnancy?
thank you for this video
i understand it and appreciate the great information
Glad you liked it. Please feel free to reach out if you have questions or want to see other videos in the future.
Dr. Berg's Support Team
Dr. Berg, thanks and I appreciate you saying that what works for one person, might not work for another (or vise a versa). I heard you say maybe a little bit of Berry but not too much. I have to have something sweet once in awhile. Fresh or frozen berries are good for satisfying that sweet craving. A lot to think about.
Dr. Eric Berg is amazing
Thank you so much dr Berg
Doc Berg I love all your videos and Thank you
Cutting out grains completely stopped my severe bloating. It was so bad I literally looked 7 months pregnant all the time. Funny part is that it was an unexpected side effect of going keto.
My go to Dr for education
@@xymonau2468 but he is definitely better than most physicians!
Dr berg I need a video on what you think about quinoa and weight loss because I love it.
Dr Berg knows better than hundreds of thousands of years of human evolution, through which our ancestors evolved through eating carb rich diets, such as bread.
In ancient times, people regularly lived to a healthy old age (80's and 90s), as Solon recalls on his visit to Ethiopia.
What is bad is the way modern diets are constructed around processed foods, including carbs.
love your videos... But can you please record them louder... Because when I look at them and I am on my cell phone, your voice is very low even when I put the volume up high..
I agree 100% Dr. Berg!
As a child I used to eat unripe apples being told I would be sick but I never was >> Many years later I still do but I do not enjoy the apples when ripe
Great video. Love the open-mindedness, unlike those polar ends who try to push a diet like a product.
Consume fruits such as Olives, Avocado and berries..... that's it.
Pomegranates, bananas, mangos, pineapple ... Avocado a vegetable by the way.
@@alfiejones1036 Lmao no it isnt.
Tomatos are good fruits as well
@@alfiejones1036 Bananas and mangos are super high in carbs and sugar. Definitely not what you'd want to eat if you're on keto or trying to lose weight
@@Ash_Wen-li even if we r doing weight trainign while building muscle and loosing fat?? Lychees too? I love mangoesss especislly since its in season rn from our home grown farm
I've lost 20 lbs. thanks to you, Dr. Berg!
I would just like to personally thank you Dr. Berg. I started the keto diet about a week ago and I have already lost close to 5kgs (10pounds?) and I know that a lot of that is water weight, but it´s not the weight that I´m most happy about. I stopped being hungry during midday after lunch and could concentrate on my work much easier. I also got rid of my 3 worst enemies constipation, bloating and acid reflux. This is amazing, I haven´t felt this great since I was a little kid when I wasn´t allowed to have sweets soda and so on and didn´t have all these problems. Yet again, thanks.
Love the videos
I brag all the time about Dr.Berg. And everyone is following him now. This Doctor is a God sent I absolutely love his honesty and willingness to share. Don't worry about anything Doctor Berg, Texas has your back. Be blessed
He demonize HEALTHY foods and mislead people.
Oh boy. Can we just eat! Man, I am confused. I have decided to just eat in moderation and that's it. None of these craziness going on these days.
Excellent
Not all grains are gluten fueled. There're healthier grains out there that either does NOT have gluten or low in gluten, Red rice, quinoa, chia, etc can be good in moderation or small amounts.
quinoa is highly irritating and inflammatory. Same with Chia
I was 270 and lost 60 pounds with keto but then reached plateau for more than a year I couldn’t lose a single pound. Then I started counting calories while eating carbs like bread every day and lost 25 pounds in three months that I couldn’t lose with keto. Weight loss is not about keto, intermittent fasting or insulin. It’s all about calories in and calories out. That’s the reason I lost so much weight in the first place with keto because I was eating less than what I was eating before
Nice, I understand perfectly what you are saying. I heard one doctor said you got it wrong when it comes to the butter thing.
How about sprouted beans.? Cause i sprout my beans and it doesn’t give me gas.
What about glutenfree grains like rice, corn, millet or pseudograins like amaranth, quinoa, buckwheat, chia?
Might be gluten free but still chock full,of carbs
Trash!!!!
Body creates his own carbs , gluconeogenesis by the liver ,the rest that we add is called carbodrugs! Dr Ludwing Jhonson!
Vive Malasia you mean glucose, carbs themselves is not essential at all, protein has essential amino acids, fat has essential fatty acids, carbs got none, is carbs a good way to get vitamins, minerals, and fiber-yes, are all carbs good-NO
Your videos are amazing
Why are Quinoa, millet and buckwheat never mentioned? Carbs without gluten and pretty high in proteins. And lentils or chickpeas? They´re filling and a good source of Protein and Iron, too.
Hi Dr.Berg, what do you think about ancient grains (gluten-free like buckwheat, oats, amaranth, quinoa, lentils) and also you can soak & sprout them, so they should be quite healthy then, huh ?
Grains are grains. He teaches not to eat any of them.
"Ancient Grains" more like marketing gimic. This is why Dr berg thrives, people are so easily duped.
Soaking them is better than not soaking them but they are still full of anti nutrients that are harmful for you. Eat the way your distant ancestors did, before the agrarian revolution. Meat ftw.
My body reacts very strangely to carbs. If I eat a meal that has as little as 20 gm of carbs, a couple hours later I'll be shaking like a leaf, sweating, and my feet get really hot. When it happens, I'll check my blood sugar and it's always in the 70's (and yes, I do keep my monitor calibrated). My doctor says that type of reaction is more typical of a blood glucose level in the 40's or 50's.
I've had an abdominal ultrasound and a CT scan and nothing remarkable showed up. I've had this syndrome (for lack of a better term) for well over 20 years, so if it were a tumor or something I'd most likely be dead by now. As long as I stay away from the so-called "fast carbs" I'm fine, so that's what I do.
John hi,
If you are eating grains or starches. You might be reacting to the Glyphosate toxic that is sprayed on grains and starches. 😊
Detoxing thats why
Thanks, doctor
Watching this in Jan 2021. Don't give up and follow Dr. Berg all the way!
The idea that carbohydrates are essential erupted back in the day when food was not easily available and there was a lot of starvation and shortage. So a little bread would give a lot of energy. That, however, is not the case now so carbs should be minimum. The reason you need a little carb is when it associated with roughage and it is needed to not end up having constipation but calories is definitely not why carbs should be consumed.
I was on a low carb diet for about 2 years (less than 50g a day), consuming mainly organic protein/fat rich foods and no grains.
Although it seemed to resolve many of my digestive issues (bloating, food sensitivity, sibo/candida), I looked malnourished, lost too much weight (40lbs+), was constantly exhausted and overall felt pretty crappy tbh.
Balance is the key in my experience. And limiting grains is a good thing. Processed food is your biggest enemy. Quit S.A.D (standard American diet)...your body will thank you in your later years.
Thank you!
Good video...
this is my experience. I feel better when I eat more carbohydrate.
Its not unusual to feel great eating carbs. They digest fast and certain carbs spike insulin more
The volume is really low on this video.
Thanks Doc! That answers my questions about beans.
Good job brother
Thanks for the great video Dr. Berg.
I went on a lower carb/higher fat diet 2 weeks ago and the weight began melting off while on a caloric deficit, Intermittent Fasting, and 1 meal a day. For example I eat 80-100 Fats/40-70 NET Carbs/140-170 Proteins most of the week and every morning i drop weight. I'm assuming carbs retain water? Reason being is because I switched fats and carbs around yesterday and this morning I woke at 162lbs from 160 day before and I my muscles look fuller.
Anyways, I just wanted to show what has been working for me lately. Thanks.
Mzzzr!!! hi are you still doing Keto? how's it going?
I think my wife wants to meet you.
Great video. There are essential fatty acids and essential amino acids. We nees to get them from diet like vitamins...
Carbs? no.
thanks dude
That advice works for me.
You don't need carbs to live. Period.
Trevor Folgering - The Keto Solution what?? Smh 😂😂😂
Yeah you kinda do. What BS is this. Does anyone here understand basic biology?
@@AmazingStoryDewd no you dont
True. You need fat and protein to live. You don’t need carbs to live. That speaks volumes.
Xymo Nau
I’ve had on 20 grams of carbs per day for the past 6 months and I feel great. I never get tired. Haven’t experienced any bad breath; quite the opposite.
People can't give up carbs...what an excuse! That's why everyone is fat, because they think potatoes is so essential to their life. I'm fine without carbs and feeling great.
No, you won't. There were never any long term studies done that showed negative results. All the studies have shown very positive results and people ended up living longer and healthier than people that ate carbs regularly. Unless of course the study was funded by the agricultural industry or similar industry to show how much better grains and pastas are for you which of course means it is a biased study from the beginning. It also showed a greater quality of life and more energetic body. Not sure where you get your information from, but you should know that it is not true. In fact, you are just like every other negative Nancy in saying that Keto is bad but offer absolutely not a bit of evidence to prove your point. That is because there is no proof unless it is made up. And go ahead and try to throw some facts out about keto that you find on some Vegan website. Those "facts" will just be cherry picked information that does not contain full detail of what is actually going on to create such data. It will basically be like CNN or MSNBC when they give the news. Stop trying to scare people from being healthy when people that want to be healthy deserve to know the actual truth about how good Ketosis is for the body.
Nonna D So are we just not meant to eat fruits and grains physiologically? I really wanna know and i mean no offence. In India grains form a staple in our diet and also fruits( also most of them are obese) .
I am cutting as much carbs as possible. i eat rice on an average of 1-2 times a week. My focus is mainly on vegetables .
you are fat because you are eating lots of carbs and fats!! Milk= sugar!! Rice= CARBS, add dietary fat to a diet where insulin is always spiked and u store that fat as body fat.
u8sumthinbad Please provide us with the link to the studies you stated.
thank you!
Questions this left me with:
* Where would nuts, seeds, herbs, seaweed, fish, meat, eggs, dairy fit in here? Are they not listed cause they're too low-carb or no-carb?
* If this video recommend for weight loss to eat tons of veggies but go light on the beans, fruit, grains, starches (such as rice, beans, potatoes, tofu)...where is it suggesting a person get their calories from to have enough calories? Meat and nuts?
* Why were the only examples of simple carbs sugar, honey, agave? Wouldn't other examples be white/refined rice, grains, and flour? Also where does maple syrup fit in?
* Some fruits are high-fat and higher-calorie though, right, like avocado and I'm forgetting any others
* What group do fermented foods fit in?
* I guess one unhealthy, so-called "food" group is chemicals and dyes
Do we really need Carbs?..., Yes, but the "RIGHT" carbs, the natural carbs
No, you're wrong. Dead wrong. It's ok to eat SOME carbs but we don't NEED to eat them at all. Our body can really only handle about 120 grams of carbs per day but there's nothing that says we should eat that many. It's not necessary at all. Period. QED!
@@pillsber 120 grams carb and lower is considered low carb or is it the max we need? And is lychee mango safe to eat eveyday multigrain bread and whole eggs with the yolk?? I have been counting my grams and most foods have carbs
@@aena5995 120 grams is the maximum we can process safely. less than 100 grams is better. You can ignore all carbs in cruciferous greens. It would be better to limit carbs to 80 grams a day however if you can do it.
@@pillsber ohhh i have been tracking my calories and amount of carbs is it OK to ignore the carbs and sugars in fruits? Cuz mangp lychee is in season in my country we get it from our farm its almost out of season i cant resist em 😟😟 but the average carbs i have in a week are arou d 150 but its like different everyday so e days i eat more fuit and meat or multigrain bread peanuts so i end up having 128 grams of carbs an somedays its lower then 100 :// wht do i do?? I have increased the level of meat eggs and nuts i eat to get more protein fats in my system i m tyna reverse PCOS and loose around 5 kgs wht do i doooo
@@aena5995 Fruit is full of sugar and should basically be viewed as natural candy. 150 grams of carbs a day is way too much. You need to eat fatty meats, eggs, cheese, walnuts etc. Limit NET carbs to 80 grams a day. 100 max.
I noticed that I am not having regular bowel movement on the Keto diet. My my waist line and thighs are for sure getting smaller but I am concerned about not doing number 2 regularly. Suggestions??? thanks
They say that having a bowl movement 2 or more times a day may be linked to leaky gut. Try a stool softener once in a while.
Something that worked for me is chia seeds......0 NET carbs and they're filled with all kinds of good stuff......I noticed my nails looked and grew better too....and celery......lots of celery.....very fiberous.......and for some reason tastes sweet to me now......weird......but it definately helps
I've had the same issue since doing Paleo/ Keto and intermittent fasting. The reasoning is because I'm now only eating foods that are nutrient-dense and that my body is actually, almost entirely using. So ultimately there is not much waste product in my system...aka going number 2 every 2, maybe even 3 days now...instead of my usual once per day without the intermittent fasting and my 'normal' diet including all foods beforehand.
Granted, I follow time-restricted eating, but I basically have 1 BM a day, more or less like clockwork. Rarely anything additional until the next day.
sandy sampson did you also notice you dont eat enough vegtibles
My liver is a lot healthier now. Thanks to this guy I have a greater understanding for how my body works and what it wants/when. I eat less and keep my vitamins up.
I would like to see more videos for people that are slim and not trying to loose weight. Because we need a healthy diet too. Thanks

You are welcome.
We don't need dietary carbohydrates though, our livers can manufacture what little glucose our brain needs, the rest can run on ketones alone. We don't eat veggies on keto for the carbs, we eat them for the trace nutrients, and also because it helps maintain Ph balance.
Interesting... I've read some studies that suggest, we do not need Carbs at all... They are seen as Non-essential to life. In other words "Optional" We need Fats and Protein but not carbs, in order to survive. Considering that there are sugars in everything we eat, including meat, eating more is superfluous... Cattle, sheep, rabbits poultry and even seafood ... All of the meats get their nourishment from vegetation and that vegetation contains the sugars that are transformed into the animal's tissues, which we eat... Although in most cases, there is very little sugar in meat, it all of the carbs we need... Since I cut out the carbs as you described... Grains, sugars and even pasta, my diabetes went away...
Case in point... The Inuit and coastal Indians never had grains, in their diets until the white man came along. Zero carbs as wee know it... They have lived for thousands of years on Fat and protein alone and some berries (seasonal). We could learn from them... Great video :-) I always enjoy your views :-)
Makes sense - we simply do not have the mechanism to digest grains in their natural state. It's only because most grains these days are fortified with nutrients that people can live off of them.
DStray Cat Inuit are very unhealthy people. They live in an extreme environment and therefore eat an extreme high meat and fat diet. All those omega 3's they eat keep them from truly falling apart.
I'll put $10 bucks on it, that you have never even met an Inuit... I lived with them for a few years...
Something that you know absolutely nothing about... The Canadian North is not always covered in snow and ice... During the summer months, the Sun never sets, but makes a big circle in the sky. The day I arrived up there, it hit 110F... The Inuit eat a lot of Edible plants as do the Coastal and Plains Natives. Ever heard of Pemmican? Natives all over North America have been eating all kinds of foods that you've obviously, never heard of and it has kept them alive and Very healthy for thousands of years...
Just so happens that when the White guys came to America, they nearly starved to death, but for the help they received from the natives... Scurvy was rampant and the natives taught them to make a soup from Pine Sap, which saved them... I could go on for hours...
Bottom-line, I suggest you do a little research on the topic, you're about to spout off about. You sound very "Uninformed".
The Chinese and other Asians have been cultivating Rice for thousands of years... I think you are generally speaking about Modern grains... Ancient grains are a whole different issue... Our modern, bastardized grains are very unhealthy although some are still good... The modern grains, which Flour is made from, are stripped of their nutrients and then fortified with synthetic nutrients that are added back in. That's the short version... lol
Plenty of people live on a mainly grain (read starch) based diet, and do just fine. Why do we go to such efforts to cultivate grains if they are so detrimental to us, because they are beneficial starches and do the body good. Rice, beans, potato, sweet potato, wheat, and oats all day baby. I'm healthy as an Ox.
You dont need food at all tbh.
What air and sunshine alone
Lmao
All we need is love 😂
Artificially send vitamins, minerals and atp in to our body
This is actually true. I have been off food for over a year and feel fantastic.
