I went to the doctor today. I lost 3 pounds this week! I'm like, what?! Wow! I've lost 35 pounds in 2 and a half months. IF and keto with walking daily has really changed my life. My energy level is amazing. I'm so grateful to God for guiding me to this channel. You and Dr. David Jockers are wonderful people. Thank you both so very much.
I have been following you for a while and i must say you are highly competent and professional. In all your videos the way you deliver information makes a lot of sense and it's easy to comprehend.I haven't found anyone who's nearly as good as you in explaining health related topics. Thank you.
This is so good!!! I base my keto around eggs, salad, avocado & nuts! First time in my life I could lose weight. I quit Adderall & caffeine thanks to you Dr. Berg!
Great information and certainly answered some questions I've been having. Since following Dr Berg I've now lost 32 lbs and still going. Only 19 more til my goal weight! It's been so much easier than anything I've tried before. FINALLY something that really works. Thank you so much Dr Berg for all the videos and the clarity in them. Much love and thanks to you and your lovely family
T Shaw well congratulations I just started mine have a way to go but only 3 days in I feel great . I have changed the way I eat forever. Hang in there you got this .
I did intermittent fasting last night after a month of over training and plateauing and staying at my weight. Woke up this morning and lost 3.5 lbs, weighed myself 10 times to be sure. This guy knows what he is talking about.
Always atcthe beginning of fasting protocol you lose a lot of WATER weight for reasons you can Google. But keep going with it. It's the best. Takes practice
Btw, we do Aquaponics here at home and raise trout and fresh vegetables and lamb and chicken and eggs year round. I have added oxygen therapy or EWOT and 100 + pushups daily. I am growing younger daily at 71. Love your vids Doc. Just what I needed to pull it all together.
I love watching these, but you miss hemp seeds...they are the bomb for protein, omegas and low...carbs. I wonder about roasted hemp seed vs raw hemp seeds
Everyday now since learning from Dr Eric Berg I'm having an omelet made using coconut oil (cold pressed, unrefined and virgin) I add spinach, bell peppers and green chilli (rough chopped). Oddly within a few days I'd also yesterday gone unintentionally 18 hours without food while I was out and didn't feel hungry at all, all I had was ground black coffee and apple cider vinegar tonic before heading out. I'm glad to see the emphasis on the vegetables with increase in fats, it's something I'd not given much thought to increase but will be mindful going forward.
Your videos are very helpful to keto newbies like myself. I'm getting rid of items in my pantry, buying healthier choices, adapting recipes, and feeling better every week.
Absolutely! I wish I lived in the States, I would be on his doorstep quich smart. Unfortunatly I live in Australia. Dr Berg is amazing, full of knowledge.
Dr. Berg is amazing. I've just started watching Dr. Berg's videos, it's been about a month now and applying his knowledge in regards to fat burning (Keto) and my stomach and waist is literally shrinking. I am 46 and i couldn't understand why i couldn't drop the weight, like i have done in the past; know matter how much exercise i would do and why the fat was accumulating in the stomach ( mid-section) and back? I love the way he explains the content. It is very easy to understand and apply. Good job Dr. Berg!
Dr Bert, I have keep seeing your videos, it's nice to have such great person giving details speech on weight loss, I have reduce may weight from 115kgs to 95kgs feeling better and more active. Thanks and bless you!
You are so resourceful. Spot on about putting the right greens to help the liver. If I have a week where I have not placed green balance, my weight loss stalls. So to help, I have been incorporating green smoothies using kale. Cutting down the "amount" of protein at each meal. Balance, as you say. Finding my weight loss sweet spot. So true about the aging process and how your body responds. 😉
I just wanted to add that beans supposedly have a chemical in them that helps to prevent blood sugar spikes. I remember one study that said if you ate 2 meals with beans in them (back to back), by the third meal you could drink a pepsi and not spike your sugar. That might nullify the carbohydrate concern you have, if true. Of course, eating them just once a day would have a diminished effect. The effect builds over time with consistent consumption.
I've been following you since I've started low carb to keto transition. Your videos have been amazing and very clear and consistent. Sad to say that I have to hold off on beans (my favorite) until I hit my health goals.
So, Dr. Berg, what type of protein should vegan/plant based dieters eat, since beans are too high in carbs? Since watching your video, I see why my weight loss, so far, has been a slow process. Thank you for your expertise.
I'm addicted to (good label) nut butter. Berg says I must match it with lots of veggies. Do avo/onion/tomato/cucumber (I love this combination and eat daily) count as a good match?
Eric, This is a great video. I am at the hormonal change stage and fighting the battle of the bulge despite working out with weights and interval training at least 5 days a week. Sometimes 7 days. I juice Kale, Collards, mustard greens and carrots in my Breveille juicer. I make Hemp protein powder smoothies about 3 times per week (2 a day) using greek yogurt to increase the protein. I am struggling, but I am winning the fight.
Hi Dr. Berg, I hope you will read my comment! I miss your old videos, you did a great job at making your point as opposed to just superficially recommend something. Please don't get me wrong your more recent videos are awesome too but this one for instance is phenomenal. I am grateful for the good that you've brought to my life! THANK YOU!!
Wow that’s absolutely useful info that I really really needed .. I got inspired to do intermittent fasting coz of you … I am learning a lot through your videos ! Thanks a lot Dr.Berg !
The POINT is black beans contain a lot of Fiber, hence Net Carb Figure is LOW. Net Car Figure is Carbs---Fiber= Net Carb. Hence Fiber locks the Carbs(sugars) in & stops them from being absorbed. A lot of vegan bodybuilders live on black beans. Scott Bernhard is an example.
I don't agree with the beans part. They have a lot of fiber which slows down the rise in blood sugar, etc. They never hurt my weight loss when cutting out sugar, flour and other simple carbs.
John 3 : 16 - What you said. Not true. Im 40. Ive been on my back for 4 months with an injury to my spine. My calories are 70% carbs, 20% fats and 10% protein. I eat 1 cup of oatmeal per day, 150-200g of beans and other starches such as quinoa and potatoes and I lost 47 pounds in three months. I eat avocados, walnuts, onions and mushrooms on a daily basis because these foods have angiogenesis inhibitors, which stop the body from storing fat in its fat cells. In addition to the beans i also eat berries - both of these foods slow glucose absorption for upto 5 meals. This is called the "second meal effect" I have also made sure i eat 2000 calories per day. Its the calorie counting, the glucose slowing foods and the angiogenesis inhibitors in the foods that contribute to weight loss.
I agree. I use beans because of their high protein and soluble fiber content, but I boil dried beans and then cool them in order to form resistant starches (RS3, which are good for the gut microbiome). I like to combine beans, fatty nuts, olive oil and curry spices (so good).
Love the way this doctor lectures. I could listen to him lecture me all day long 😍. Cúrame doctorcito lindo y enseñame todo lo que tengo que saber para cuidarme mejor.
I am getting confused, for ketosis in other videos you say 60-70% fat, 15-20% protein and 15-20% leafy vegetables; and to avoid high protein because it can trigger insulin. But in this video you seem to promote high protein and low fat, could you explain how ketogenic diet supposed to work, not to get theological but there is a book where all the other books harmonize with each other but most of your videos contradict each other. Thanks in advance!
Yes I've notice just a bit of contradictions too. I'm beginning to think that there are many many different types of human physiology out there and diets need to be varied all the time to keep the body in an always adaptation mode. In addition, people in other parts of the world use certain foods all the time in their cooking cultures. That same continuous use of food however, may not be good for an American. Just one example is Germany. They eat a lot of greasy meats (sausages) yet Germans dont die with an 80% heart attack rate. Bodies adapt. And I'm thinking perhaps mix up the diet as much as possible. Keeping the body on its toes may be good for it, but of course sugar and gmo's have to go.
I'm not sure where these numbers come from but whole grain wheat bread contains 35% carbs, not 75%. The macronutrient ratios are all wrong too. Kale doesn't have 4.5 times more carbs than protein. It's actually only 2 times.
thank you....I've added the Apple cider vinegar in lemon water before each meal...and the kale shake.....and.... limiting my meals to 2 or 3 a day with no snacking...still going to watch the calories.... definitely a changing process...
what can i eat being vegetarian i m in 50"s i can eat raw sprouted moongs... and salad.. thats all? can i eat yogurt or chess??? in keto diet i just started 2 wks ago and l do have low metabolism no fruits.... advice me.
Am really struggling with so many health issues since my early thirties am now going to try what Dr Berg suggests . All my doctors and specialists are just keen on putting me on meds including antidepressants ! I have been diagnosed with, fatty liver , leaky gut, kidney issues, memory loss, fatigue , fibromyalgia , mood swings , diabetes , high blood pressure and a sluggish thyroid and all I get from doctors is to diet and to try medication! Unbelievable. I am also menopausal and have been since 43 so I have suffered with hotflushes for nearly twenty years ! So I'm basically desperate and so willing to give Dr Berg a go ! I am enjoying his videos very much .
You said once whey protein was not good because it triggers insulin because it has too much protein, but how come fish is always good? Are they two different kinds of proteins?
Always great info Doc, but I just figured this out. Your voice is just like Pat Boone's! (not a bad thing) You'd be a good one to read bedtime stories haha... second career as an audio book narrator.
I'm surprised that beans are dismissed as low in nutrients. I have always heard that beans are "superfoods", "packed with nutrients", etc. Listening to nutritionists is frustrating.
If u listen vlosely he says its not good for weight loss. This info is mainly for people on a kego diet( low carbs high fat) cuz carbohydrate n sugar becomes the stored fat
here's the short of it :: Protein burns 20-30% of its calorie content to digest it , called the thermogenic effect Carbs about 7-10% Fats 0-3% This means if you eat 2000 calories of proteins you will only absorb about 1500 calories CArbs around 1800 calories and fats around 1950 calories. Thats why having a high protein diet which is calorie deficient before the thermogenic effect , plus cardio will create fast weight loss.
The thermogenic effect is real. But that's not the essence of this video. The essence of this video is: 1) fat is ok, as long as you eat plenty of veggies to prevent your liver from malfunctioning, 2) foods high in carbs tend to be low in nutrients, and 3) foods that are high on the glycemic index are to be avoided. It's a shame he ignored potatoes though, which are high in starch but also very nutrient-dense. Combine them with lean proteins and vegetables to lessen their impact on blood sugar, and they're actually a decent addition to the diet. Cheap too.
Another simple, interesting and easy to digest presentation but I couldn't help but notice not all of the numbers tallied up to make 100%. The protein, carbs and fat did add up to a total of 100 in the Humus section but not all of the food types discussed in this video did. I hope Dr Berg will do a more thorough on Rosacea, which I enjoyed but it was brief and a video on what food types might help people suffering with sun allergies would be most useful. Thank you and good luck.
RIGHT HERE: this is the BEST succinct video i have ever seen on understanding the REASONS behind the perfect balance of macronutrients: this is the SYNERGY: thank you SO MUCH!!! (btw love ur love for kale: that look at the camera, lol)
Great video, lots of good information. I have been incorporating seeds into my diet mostly flax and chia. Are these good sources as they are very nutrient rich? should I continue to consume them or leave them alone?
Excellent overview, reminding me to at least rotate some of these foods if I cannot eliminate altogether. QUESTION: What's your take on Quinoa??? 6/2019
Very educational video dr. Berg. Now I know why I have a fatty live . Love eggs for breakfast. I don’t eat bread so I would have them with just a tomato and cucumber onion and sometimes avocado. I stated adding a handful of spinach and peppers 🌶 to my eggs .
Dr Yor are not only well-informed doctor, but you are super teacher as well. Keep up the fight against ignorance. Muhaminy is very much for some people just like you.
+Eric Berg, thank you so much for sharing this great information! I am going to base my grocery shopping from your list of what will help me, health wise! You're the best!
Another great video doc! My only caveat is to forget about store bought yogurts. Make your own using milk kefir grains and 10-48% cream instead. Firstly, as is, they contain less carbs than most store bought yogurts. More importantly most of the remaining carbs & sugars get fermented out the longer it ferments. You'll know it's virtually carb & sugar free after it's been sitting 6 months in your fridge and is more sour than raw lemons. Perfect for keto diets!
Man! what a great explanation Dr. Eric did by breaking down things in to pieces. I understood almost everything just by watching first time even being not native to the English language. Doc you have tremendous amount of knowledge about body's complex system and foods etc. Thanks man for the clear and knowledgeable videos.
agree with everything but the oat nutrients part.... oat is full of nutrients... how can he say it's low on nutrients!?.. oats have plenty of minerals (manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, copper and abit of potassium and calcium as well plus B1 vitamin)
OMG this video was such a eye opener for me. I as diagnosed with fatty liver and type 2 diabetes and I was shocked since I do not drink alcohol and I thought that was the only thing that lead to liver diesease. This video was so educational for me I have a better understanding about what I eat and I have always thought I had a good understanding of what was "good" and what was bad and boy have I been wrong. This is the first video I have watched that really explained everything so clearly. Thank you thank you thank you!!! Can't thank you enough!!
I went to the doctor today. I lost 3 pounds this week! I'm like, what?! Wow! I've lost 35 pounds in 2 and a half months. IF and keto with walking daily has really changed my life. My energy level is amazing. I'm so grateful to God for guiding me to this channel. You and Dr. David Jockers are wonderful people. Thank you both so very much.
I’m in that same boat .. added core water only I’m on a new level
God hater. sad
Had she mentioned allah or budha or hindu, you would have bowed down in respect - bigotry
I have been following you for a while and i must say you are highly competent and professional. In all your videos the way you deliver information makes a lot of sense and it's easy to comprehend.I haven't found anyone who's nearly as good as you in explaining health related topics. Thank you.
Just watching Dr. Berg's videos makes me feel relaxed.
weishitai yes yes me too. His voice is so soothing
I really like his detailed information very much, but he does kind of remind me of John Ritter from Three's Company! :)
I wish I had seen this six years ago. I'm glad I am watching it now.
The good thing is it is never too late to start.
This is so good!!! I base my keto around eggs, salad, avocado & nuts! First time in my life I could lose weight. I quit Adderall & caffeine thanks to you Dr. Berg!
Please tell me more. Why was you taking Adderall and what happened for you to not need it anymore? PLEASE RESPOND!!!
Dr Berg is the only honest Dr on this earth I know
Ive been watchin him for a while. I love his info but I recently found out he studied business n art(quick wiki search) I guess he read a book or two
Great information and certainly answered some questions I've been having. Since following Dr Berg I've now lost 32 lbs and still going. Only 19 more til my goal weight! It's been so much easier than anything I've tried before. FINALLY something that really works. Thank you so much Dr Berg for all the videos and the clarity in them.

Watched this video a few weeks ago, switched to high protein and lost about 12lbs in 2 weeks which is quite good for me.
I love watching these, but you miss hemp seeds...they are the bomb for protein, omegas and low...carbs. I wonder about roasted hemp seed vs raw hemp seeds
Everyday now since learning from Dr Eric Berg I'm having an omelet made using coconut oil (cold pressed, unrefined and virgin) I add spinach, bell peppers and green chilli (rough chopped).

finally a Dr. that makes sense! Thank you Dr. Berg for sharing all of your knowledge.
I am curious; what happens if you consume low amounts of carbs while high protein & fats, but not low enough to induce ketosis?
So easy to understand.. it's not rocket science!! Thank you Dr. Berg.
That color looks so nice on you Dr. Berg. Thank you so much for your videos. You are so awesome.
Absolutely! I wish I lived in the States, I would be on his doorstep quich smart.
Unfortunatly I live in Australia.
Dr Berg is amazing, full of knowledge.
Love these videos.I used to be on Atkins and didn't get the whole keto phenom but this explains it all so well,Thanks Dr.Berg.
The burgundy colour shirt ?
Veronica NIcholls (join the queue) he’s also married... lol 😂
wow Kale has 103% nutrients
I agree, he isn’t a number guy!
But the video is very informative.
💕kale
by the way i am diabetic , mix 5 pc of garlic with 100 yogurt and half spoon ginger it is excellent for people who have LDL cholesterol
Dr. Berg is amazing. I've just started watching Dr. Berg's videos, it's been about a month now and applying his knowledge in regards to fat burning (Keto) and my stomach and waist is literally shrinking. I am 46 and i couldn't understand why i couldn't drop the weight, like i have done in the past; know matter how much exercise i would do and why the fat was accumulating in the stomach ( mid-section) and back? I love the way he explains the content. It is very easy to understand and apply. Good job Dr. Berg!
Excellent advice, simple but so effective when put into action. Should be taught in schools.
Eric please never stop making videos. I start my day off with you, are you going to be doing a meet and greet soon ?
Excellent video. Very informative and I love how you broke each of the foods down.
Thanks Dr. BERG! I thought this was an excellent & very informative video
I do like,the smashing of the grain myth.!
Dr Bert,
I have keep seeing your videos, it's nice to have such great person giving details speech on weight loss, I have reduce may weight from 115kgs to 95kgs feeling better and more active.
Thanks and bless you!
I remember the days I enjoyed *eating my cardboard* with brown sugar, raisins & walnuts..
You are so resourceful.
Spot on about putting the right greens to help the liver. If I have a week where I have not placed green balance, my weight loss stalls. So to help, I have been incorporating green smoothies using kale. Cutting down the "amount" of protein at each meal. Balance, as you say. Finding my weight loss sweet spot.

watching this video in march 2019....you look younger now 6 years on than then in 2013 !

This is one of your best videos, thank you!
I'm glad I found your channel,now I can learn about almost all I need to know about dieting here .thanks a lot
I am learning so much from your videos Dr. Berg THANK YOU! Three weeks in and 13 lbs down! I feel amazing 🙌🏻❤️,
So, Dr. Berg, what type of protein should vegan/plant based dieters eat, since beans are too high in carbs? Since watching your video, I see why my weight loss, so far, has been a slow process. Thank you for your expertise.
For about 30 years I have tried fasting a bit every day and running longer every day. Lost 10 pounds in a month and made my running better!
Are you really speaking of 30 years? Or 30 days?
Dear Mr Berg, thanks for sharing your valuable view. It has been very helpful. How is sprouted grains and beans nutrients affected?
And I WAS eating cashews while watching this 😭😭
It's ok to eat once in a blue moon.
I'm addicted to (good label) nut butter. Berg says I must match it with lots of veggies.
Do avo/onion/tomato/cucumber (I love this combination and eat daily) count as a good match?
Eric,
This is a great video. I am at the hormonal change stage and fighting the battle of the bulge despite working out with weights and interval training at least 5 days a week. Sometimes 7 days. I juice Kale, Collards, mustard greens and carrots in my Breveille juicer. I make Hemp protein powder smoothies about 3 times per week (2 a day) using greek yogurt to increase the protein. I am struggling, but I am winning the fight.
Jean Lipscomb stop juicing and eat your veggies. Juicing hits your bloodstream faster which increases your insulin. Hope that helps.
Dayyum...Dr Berg looks better in 2019 than he did in 2013 !!!
Hi Dr. Berg, I hope you will read my comment! I miss your old videos, you did a great job at making your point as opposed to just superficially recommend something.

I believe those who have been on the Atkins diet are focused on limiting carbs, not so much focused on counting grams of protein.
What is the nutritional value of cassava and yuka roots?
What are the nutritional values of exotic food that people eat. ?
Love the way this doctor lectures. I could listen to him lecture me all day long 😍. Cúrame doctorcito lindo y enseñame todo lo que tengo que saber para cuidarme mejor.
Sí, te va cuidar mucho,, pues poseé mucha sabiduria.
One of the best videos I have seen, you present information that is so easy to understand! Thanks so much! This is changing my life!

Jennifer Hargrove if ur trying to lose weight, then no beans. but beans r ok if u don't have a weight problem.
Yes I've notice just a bit of contradictions too. I'm beginning to think that there are many many different types of human physiology out there and diets need to be varied all the time to keep the body in an always adaptation mode.

He is still saying to reduce carbs.
thank you Dr. Berg, this information has been so helpful, God bless you.
Thanks so much for this. I learned a lot. Very helpful.
I'm not sure where these numbers come from but whole grain wheat bread contains 35% carbs, not 75%. The macronutrient ratios are all wrong too. Kale doesn't have 4.5 times more carbs than protein. It's actually only 2 times.
Bless you Dr.Berg for all this life changing information!
thank you....I've added the Apple cider vinegar in lemon water before each meal...and the kale shake.....and.... limiting my meals to 2 or 3 a day with no snacking...still going to watch the calories.... definitely a changing process...

you are a real gentleman 💐
You said kefir was high in carbohydrates. But most of the lactose sugars are gone after fermented. Home made kefir that is. (With no added sugars )
awesome info...explains sooo much and makes a lot of since in my life...thank u💫
Thank you for your educatiobal informations.
Am really struggling with so many health issues since my early thirties am now going to try what Dr Berg suggests . All my doctors and specialists are just keen on putting me on meds including antidepressants ! I have been diagnosed with, fatty liver , leaky gut, kidney issues, memory loss, fatigue , fibromyalgia , mood swings , diabetes , high blood pressure and a sluggish thyroid and all I get from doctors is to diet and to try medication! Unbelievable. I am also menopausal and have been since 43 so I have suffered with hotflushes for nearly twenty years ! So I'm basically desperate and so willing to give Dr Berg a go ! I am enjoying his videos very much .
Nice and clear explanation

@@hermonghebresslasie3198 If you watch closely, he puts three downward arrows for nutrients when talking about beans.
thanking you for teaching me more towards my best diet
What about the lectins in legumes like beans? Wouldn’t that be the most damaging thing?
Thank you Dr. Berg for dedicating your self to Health, Love you for eternity
I don't know what to say Dr , thank you so much..
here's the short of it ::
Protein burns 20-30% of its calorie content to digest it , called the thermogenic effect
Carbs about 7-10%
Fats 0-3%
This means if you eat 2000 calories of proteins you will only absorb about 1500 calories
CArbs around 1800 calories and fats around 1950 calories.
Thats why having a high protein diet which is calorie deficient before the thermogenic effect , plus cardio will create fast weight loss.
The thermogenic effect is real. But that's not the essence of this video. The essence of this video is: 1) fat is ok, as long as you eat plenty of veggies to prevent your liver from malfunctioning, 2) foods high in carbs tend to be low in nutrients, and 3) foods that are high on the glycemic index are to be avoided.

Pieter-Jan Most white potatoes are very high glycemic.
Wrong. Hormones are far more important than the thermogenic effect, particularly insulin. Learn a bit.
Another simple, interesting and easy to digest presentation but I couldn't help but notice not all of the numbers tallied up to make 100%. The protein, carbs and fat did add up to a total of 100 in the Humus section but not all of the food types discussed in this video did. I hope Dr Berg will do a more thorough on Rosacea, which I enjoyed but it was brief and a video on what food types might help people suffering with sun allergies would be most useful. Thank you and good luck.
What about the lectins in legumes like beans?
what about green beans? i eat alot of them only half cooked
RIGHT HERE: this is the BEST succinct video i have ever seen on understanding the REASONS behind the perfect balance of macronutrients: this is the SYNERGY: thank you SO MUCH!!! (btw love ur love for kale: that look at the camera, lol)
There are so many things you need to know when you are really thinking about your body.Thanks from Japan!
I love these deep dive videos. I learn so much.
It's way to geeky for my family and friends. They think I'm nuts. But don't eat me.
🤣
Very informative. Thank you, Dr. Berg.
My mind is blown! Dr Berg, u r sucha genius! Thanks a ton! ❤️
Beans is mostly fiber.
Dr. Berg....Thank you for clearing up the protein info. This cleared up a few of my mistakes. Now I know why I stopped losing weight.
Great video, lots of good information. I have been incorporating seeds into my diet mostly flax and chia. Are these good sources as they are very nutrient rich? should I continue to consume them or leave them alone?
Hello Dr. Berg. Whats your advice or taughts on Protein drinks for weight loss. Love looking at your vedioes. Great information. Thanks.
Great supply of information that would take us a lot of time to research, thankfully you have found your callings
Thanks very much this video is so helpful with my diet I'm so glad you are helping us .
Excellent overview, reminding me to at least rotate some of these foods if I cannot eliminate altogether. QUESTION: What's your take on Quinoa??? 6/2019
Isn't quinoa a grain?
Very educational video dr. Berg. Now I know why I have a fatty live . Love eggs for breakfast. I don’t eat bread so I would have them with just a tomato and cucumber onion and sometimes avocado. I stated adding a handful of spinach and peppers 🌶 to my eggs .
Thank you so much doc. I needed and enjoyed this video.
Thank you this helps!
Dr Yor are not only well-informed doctor, but you are super teacher as well. Keep up the fight against ignorance. Muhaminy is very much for some people just like you.
+Eric Berg, thank you so much for sharing this great information! I am going to base my grocery shopping from your list of what will help me, health wise! You're the best!
Another great video doc! My only caveat is to forget about store bought yogurts. Make your own using milk kefir grains and 10-48% cream instead. Firstly, as is, they contain less carbs than most store bought yogurts. More importantly most of the remaining carbs & sugars get fermented out the longer it ferments. You'll know it's virtually carb & sugar free after it's been sitting 6 months in your fridge and is more sour than raw lemons. Perfect for keto diets!
Man! what a great explanation Dr. Eric did by breaking down things in to pieces. I understood almost everything just by watching first time even being not native to the English language. Doc you have tremendous amount of knowledge about body's complex system and foods etc. Thanks man for the clear and knowledgeable videos.
Eat Cheese, nuts, veggies ; eliminate beans, oatmeal, hummus, yogurt. Attention to sugar, not so much carbs, not fat as long as veggies.
agree with everything but the oat nutrients part.... oat is full of nutrients... how can he say it's low on nutrients!?.. oats have plenty of minerals (manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, copper and abit of potassium and calcium as well plus B1 vitamin)
Yeah, but he is anti carb man
OMG this video was such a eye opener for me. I as diagnosed with fatty liver and type 2 diabetes and I was shocked since I do not drink alcohol and I thought that was the only thing that lead to liver diesease. This video was so educational for me I have a better understanding about what I eat and I have always thought I had a good understanding of what was "good" and what was bad and boy have I been wrong. This is the first video I have watched that really explained everything so clearly. Thank you thank you thank you!!! Can't thank you enough!!
