I love that my neighbor allows his chickens to “free range” onto my property and even said if I feel like cooking one he’s more than fine with it. We trade food and favors all the time. Also great pest control around my house. I love thy neighbor.
Just an idea to help him out. I save all my egg cartons for a friend with chickens he always tells me he is thankful for that. Otherwise he said he needs to buy them.
My great grandfather was supposedly stabbed to death over an argument about a chicken going onto the neighbor's property. "You stole my chicken", etc. Guessing times were hard.
Dr. Berg, I went on your fasting diet and ate a lot of things you suggested. I want to thank you because no other Doctor gave me the advice that you have. I figured out I was insulin resistant from watching all your Diabetic Vids. I am type II diabetic, WAS overweight. I went from 267 down to 212 and still losing. I take a small shot of good virgin olive oil, coffee in the morning and around 12-1 I have eggs for lunch with an english muffin. Eat a sensible dinner at 6 and don't eat till the next day, sometimes I cheat and have a little ice cream. lol. My A1C is 5.6 and my sugar in the morning ranges from 85 to 95. I went from a 40 waist down to almost a 34. All i had to do was follow your direction, in which I did and have not felt as good as I do now!! So, THANK YOU my friend...
Great work and nice to see you haven't gone over the top and still eat some ice cream. That's the perfect balance. Eat well, walk often, treat sometimes!
All natural peanut butter sprinkled with some salt and/or cacao nibs is a great ice cream alternative. Add some banana or whatever. Sometimes I dip apple slices.
My mom has been raising chickens ever since I was a kid so I haven’t eaten store bought chicken and eggs in probably 15 years. Even now that I’m 25 and living by myself she still brings me an ungodly amount of eggs and chicken meat. After this video I’m pretty thankful for that.
From the description below the video. Health benefits of eggs: • Eggs are a great source of protein • Eggs contain choline • Eggs contain lecithin • Eggs have vitamin K2, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin A • Eggs are rich in omega-3 fatty acids • Eggs are loaded with B vitamins • Eggs have minerals and trace minerals • Eggs contain carotenoids
3 to 4 whole eggs daily since three years after you encouraged me. Before that I was afraid of its cholesterol. But after daily consumption of 4 eggs my cholesterol, blood pressure even got better. Thank you Sir Berg for the awareness
My grandparents have chicken running around in the wild and whenever they give me eggs I can immediately tell the difference. Each egg looks different but the taste is way better than eggs from the supermarket. Same goes for vegetables. We grow salat, potatoes, onions, paprika and tomatoes at home. Many people do here in Austria. Wish you all the best!
Yes, they do taste different. Here in India, we raise local/country chickens which are native to India. Their eggs definitely taste different compared to the store-bought ones.
Where I live in Croatia there are vending machines for almost all farmer products including eggs, so you can just get eggs from local farmers from a vending machine. Also anywhere outside of cities there are tons of chickens everywhere, outside of main roads usually they can roam freely around the villages
@Vickie Dawn if its a matter of what is true than why are you basing your obviously racist beliefs on bronze age mythology? Don't answer that, you're clearly an unhinged troglodyte
@@TheVideoIsLongEnough there is nothing wrong with being proud of being born Caucasian. None of us had any control over this whatsoever so the fact you pulled out the old and stale race card says way more about your jealousy and insecurities than anything else.
My family had 5 chickens for about 5 years. They were the best eggs I have ever eaten, and store bought eggs are just not the same since. They also kept bugs out of our garden because they instantly ate them all.
@@Aaron-kj8dv In addition they are dog friendly. If you have a yard, a dog, a chicken will be a plus. It is also the solution to your dog's loneliness or boredom.
Imagine these days a random retarded brain-dead women - on social media spreading the words that eggs are not good for your health ! - but sure MD is ! :)) - I was shocked to see how many idiots are out there and believed that girl and share that video without asking any questions !
Yup I concur with everything you said after owning 4 backyard chickens, but the POOP oh man we couldn't get over the poop it was everywhere and it attracted swarms of flies it made our backyard unbearable.
My chickens love home grown cabbage and I often add catnip to their organic grain which really chills them out. They produce extra large eggs that are so tasty.
I have family in Greece. Whenever I go I always notice the egg yoke color is extremely vibrant and looks nothing like the color we see here in the states. It's extremely orange and you can actually taste that there's more nutrition in the yoke itself. They are raised on plant based feed and can roam their asses around and one farmer I went to was feeding them alfalfa. best frikin eggs ive ever tasted.
American food is slow death by disease compared to European and Mediterranean food. That's what happens when the corrupted guberment is involved in everything.
My grandpa ate eggs every morning. He lived to be 92. Died from pneumonia. But his autopsy said he had a heart of a healthy 40 year old man ! 👍🏻 But he also did NOT eat sugar, he ate lots of fish and no cereals or bread. Lots of veggies and with those eggs, he had bacon !
terrible advice to encourage people to eat that many eggs daily, it is loaded in cholesterol - a NORMAL healthy liver SHOULD in theory downregulate and upregulate cholesterol - unfortunately some people do not properly regulate cholesterol, in the case you cannot downregulate cholesterol production, you must limit your consumption of dietary cholesterol - so the whole eat that many eggs daily is not for everyone..............because it is not safe for everyone.
I am a vegetarian and include eggs in my diet. I notice a huge difference in home/farm raised chickens eggs that that are fed garden and kitchen scraps and are free ranged... Beautiful, thick, humped, bright orange yolks. I give chickens brassica leaves, moringa, chickweed, some tomatoes, squashes, cucumbers, sweet potato vines, kitchen scraps and more
My favorite 2-3 pieces mashed garlic and 3 eggs mixed it up in bowl. Than 3-4 tbs olive oil, 1 tbs organic butter put in the pan and cook like a scramble eggs. You’ll love it this Anatolian style omelette. 😊
when I was diagnosed as type 2 I was also told I had high cholesterol and a fatty liver . I went on a high fat low carb diet and I eat 5 eggs a day for 2 years . My last physical showed my blood sugar ,cholesterol and fatty liver are all good . I've lost over 100lb and have taken no medication whatsoever it's all down to diet and exercise.
I am so excited to see this comment, because I have fatty liver and also have 40+ free ranging chickens who give me 24+ eggs per day. They run all day on five acres soaking up sunshine and chasing bugs living their best life.
I also eat 5 or 6 eggs everyday, help me to loss 60 lbs while building some muscles, actually i started this habit last year after i saw your video about eggs brnefit. Thanks dr berg.
@@thomasrains5108 well i'm just buying regular eggs at supermarket cuz the omega3 cost double and organic one cost triple the regular egg. Just like dr berg said if you can buy organic or straight to a local farmer will be better.
My 88 year old mother has been eating two eggs over easy her entire life. No cholesterol problems ever. I guess I should consider growing a couple of chickens after hearing I can give her three or four eggs now! ❤️
@@eMeN903well, i hope you eat a whole lot more sorts of food next to those eggs you’re eating. Which way you want to go, up or down the scale, determines what or what not to eat in addition to your daily egg intake. Good luck chasing your goals!
I believe it. Eating my two eggs per day or three sometimes has actually helped me lower my cholesterol. Seriously! My doctor actually encouraged me to eat them daily because he said being completely satisfied and well nourished by the eggs, actually prevented me from eating donuts and sugar foods that hurt my body! So yeah, enjoy your eggies!🖖🙏♥️
Our chickens are delicious. They are usually young roosters from a heritage or mixed breed, and they have way more flavour than commercially raised meat birds!
I am 57 and all meat taste bad to me now. Especially pork. 😝 Also other foods aren’t as good as they used to be. Its part of getting old. My Mom did the same thing.
Because I really listen to all your excellent advice and I changed completely how I eat, I lost 50 pounds in the last 4 months! I feel Great, I was 290 feeling horrible with no energy, now I feel like I can do all the things I used to do 30 years ago! Thanks Dr Berg, I wish all the doctors I seen over the years would explain things the way you do. God Bless You. ❤👍
@@devenadajania1518 I watched my carbs and sugar intake, that was the main thing because before I changed my eating habits I was eating a lot of fast foods, pizza,pasta and drinking lots of coke...now splenda in my coffee, blueberries or raspberries for breakfast or hard boiled eggs, if I am hungry at all now,but when I started that's what I ate...lunch I would drink a premier protein drink only 1 gram of sugar, dinner would be my main meal, big salad with salmon, tomato, avocado on spring mix...next day tuna instead of salmon, grilled chicken then back to salmon. I love what I'm eating and don't miss the junk anymore. Now in morning I'm just drinking coffee, and protein drink at 2pm, 4pm the salad...sometimes at 6pm a handful of pecans. Find what you like, just watch carbs and sugar! Good Luck and stick with it👍
My chickens are spoiled with forest and pasture and every thing a chicken could need or want. I spend all my time watching over them. When i eat their eggs i feel an uplifting energy and mood. The aminos in the natural chicken are amazing.
Dr. Berg thank you! I love the fact that you are not limiting yourself to only taking care of you, your family and your 6.6 million patients but also animals as well and the soil. Healthy soil, healthy us!
I add flax seed to our chicken feed and it ups the omega 3 and it gives a beautiful orange yolk. Coupled in with the free ranging on the pasture, it's why I eat 4 eggs. Free Run is uncaged but within a building but still on straight grains. Free Range is pastured. Love this channel
Thanks for this video! I watched this in late April and began eating 4 eggs with some meat & spinach for breakfast everyday, also watched a lot of your other videos and began working towards a keto lifestyle and intermittent fasting. In four months I've lost 50 lbs, my A1C went from 11 to 6.6, I'm taking 50mcg less levothyroxine, dropped 1 diabetes & 1 hbp med. Up til April I hadn't eaten eggs in 3 years, they always made me sick. Found out it was the combo of eggs with carbs that was making me sick. Again, thanks so much.
Thank you Dr Berg for validating my belief of good nutrition in eggs! I've been a nurse for 40 yrs, and do not agree with very much in the medical realm. Always do your own research, right now it's all about profit and treating symptoms, but this is soon to change, thank God, Blessings to you sir!
@@tyv1383 it will change, because we are all aware. Most people I know, understand their entire atomic structure and exactly what chemical and physical reactions take place in the body, in turn causing diseases long term and all conditions possible. Everything starts from some sort of inflammation. That’s all we need to know, to know that you should not have to treat symptoms, but start from the root instead.
Since 2012 I've been consuming 3-5 eggs a day. Thats what I usually eat as my food for the duration of my work day. I deviated from that since the pandemic and switched to work from home. I gained close to 30lbs since then
@@SherryKWillette same here. I went up as high as 220lbs. Working my way down to at least 185lbs. I'm an avid cyclist, both trail and road. Works wonders when I really do it consistently. Try it
@@SherryKWillette look into the Keto diet..not easy to reduce carbs to the point where you almost eliminate them but I did it for 3 months after I injured my foot and dropped a good amount of weight strictly due to this change. I’ve since added some carbs back to get more fiber (constipation during strict keto was a big drawback). Two other things that helped me trim down were no snacking between meals (used to be a snacker) and also being mindful to time when you eat I.e. 4-5 hour intervals. All of these things have helped me and hopefully they help you.
@@wolfofwacker4578 add cardio and some calisthenics exercise into that diet to avoid to flappy excess skin. Dropping significant weight fast will make you look like a balloon loosing air. You feel and look good at the same time. 70% diet, 30% exercise
I used to add salt to my eggs because it would taste bland. Once i started eating organic pasture raised eggs I noticed that I didn’t need to add salt anymore. Also, the pasture raised eggs, the shell of the egg tends to be harder too, maybe an indication of a healthy egg.
My chickens have 3 acres to roam everyday. The eggs do have great color and are too big to fit in a regular egg carton. I just bought 8 more layers. Thanks for the information.
This is why I began raising chickens a decade ago. With the recent eggs shortage couple with 58 million birds put down just in the states and no end in sight ... Im thankful I did.
Dr. Berg is the modern Batman. Watching your videos changed my eating habits and improved my life. Shout out to this good man. Keep doing what you are doing. No one else out there is giving such a valuable lessons. Cheers.
Dr. Sten Ekberg also has good information, and I think Dr. Berg has mentioned him once or twice. Dr. Berg is still the better researcher, in my opinion, and his videos are much easier to 'digest,' if you will, because they're so much shorter and more frequent. Dr. Ekberg makes videos that are 30+ minutes, and I don't have the necessary attention span, unfortunately. He does offer very, very good information, though, very much in line with Dr. Berg's. He speaks rather slowly, both to let information sink in, and because he's Swedish, so English isn't his first language, and by his own admission, he has to really think of the words he wants to use. Just wanted to make you aware that there is at least one other good, conscientious physiologist out there who is also working hard to inform people of the dangers of foul food practices, wrong and harmful foods and products, and who does his own research, just like Dr. Berg does.
Hi. I have been eating 3-5 eggs daily since 2020. I have a Child born also born in 2020, and i have not been sick since i started eating eggs daily. My wife started this year, but she got all the sickness my daughter brought home from kinder garden. I also work out 4 times a week, went down almost 20KGS (from 100 to 80) - BUT iam stronger now than before(i did workout 4 times a week before 2020 also) Im feeling better than ever, eggs changed my life, and i am also sugarfree and eat healthy besides the eggs👍
I've been eating whole eggs for over 20 years and my cholesterol levels are stellar. My Dr. told me "Whatever you're doing, keep doing it because your levels are fantastic". I never believed the FDA hype years ago that eggs were bad for you. They always have to have a food enemy to demonize so they can stay relevant.
Been doing this for a few months now 3-4 a day along with my apple cider vinegar drink and Kiefer detox and lost 12lbs and feel better than I have in my whole life… thank sir you are a giant amount men
Hello there just being curious boiled scrambled over easy what kind and what time do you usually eat it in the day because I do the same amount thank you 👍
Thank you! This confirms further to me that eggs are an incredible superfood. When I got diagnosed with T2 diabetes about 18 months ago I immediately adjusted my diet. I started eating eggs every morning. My doctors (primary and endocrinologist) said go easy on eggs, no more than 5 per week. I went from 2 a day to 3 and then 4 and I still do 4 a day and they are JUMBO eggs. I also usually have bacon with it (2-3 strips). When I went back after 3 months of 3-4 eggs per day (and I have been on a statin) my cholesterol, triglycerides had dropped from very high to mid-normal range. Next 3 months later they dropped to low normal. That's after INCREASING my eggs intake. I do 4 a day still, missing a day here or there but almost every day. And bonus - they are DELICIOUS. I thought I'd get sick of eggs but I haven't. And my health has improved, including my diabetic retinopathy (because I understand the lutein in eggs helps eyes so I credit the eggs with that). Thanks for spreading the word. Oh, and my doctors? when I told them I was having 4 eggs per day they both then said (independently of each other, not knowing what the other said) - "keep eating the eggs". Exactly that, they said!!!! They know it is a superfood but I think they're guided to be overly cautious and are a little afraid to tell people to eat them. Thank God for doctors like you who spread the truth about this superfood!!! I am thoroughly convinced - it's been 18 months and my health has only gotten better! By the way they removed me from taking insulin a year ago and just reduced my metformin by half 3 months ago!
@Jul I think, in fairness to the doctors, they tell people how to do natural things to control their diabetes but then most diabetics don't do it at all. Then the doctors become jaded and quickly move them onto medication and/or insulin. Everyone, just about, that I have met and that I know who is diabetic does NOT carefully watch their diet even though they know they're supposed to. One of them even says "Well I'm on metformin anyway so I might as well just let that do its work!!!" So it's not really the doctors, in my opinion. My doctor makes nothing from me taking metformin or insulin. My doctor actively tries to get me off of both of those. But my doctors also deal with dummies like my friends who don't want to change their diets. Here you have a video of a doctor telling people to eat eggs. Most will NOT listen. If they were his patients he'd have no choice but to put them on medication if they don't listen to his instructions on how to NATUALLY manage their diabetes.
Please look into statins, there is awful things they do to you, like give you Alzheimer’s, and the good stuff they do supposedly is very very sketchy, please research, they are not good for u. Have a nice day.
Brilliant, well done! Eggs are a complete protein,, they contain all 9 essential Amino Acids, building blocks of protein as do soya beans,. I eat organic, these are the only two compete protein foods.
Among their many benefits, 3-4 eggs are perfect for optimizing choline and selenium levels. Most selenium supplements are way too high, so that’s why I prefer eggs. The choline content has powerful benefits for the liver and brain, in addition to maintaining insulin sensitivity.
@@Fishin4funout4trout Eggs (and maybe occasional fish) are the best way to get selenium. Brazil nuts are less consistent (the amount varies a lot). Selenium is one of those nutrients where too much can cause the same health issues as too little, so that’s why the consistent amount in eggs is perfect. I would cook them though, it allows you to absorb the nutrients better.
@@JS-te4gz As with anything, balance is important, which is why Whole Foods are safer than supplements. My choline levels were mid-range, using eggs as my primary source. But keep in mind, choline deficiency can increase risk of insulin resistance and fatty liver. Insulin resistance is implicated in a wide range of chronic health conditions. Most people can synthesize choline, but if you’re not one of those people then eggs are a safe way to prevent deficiency.
2 to 3 Eggs & avocados with chicken sausage were all I ate every morning for over 2 years, following a keto based regimen in an attempt to get my A1c out of pre-diabetic range. But my numbers and my body felt like it plateaued. Weight was stable but more concerning was that I was experiencing more constipation. In an effort to change it up, I'm now doing vegan 3 to 4 days a week (more fruit, legumes, veggies) and it's only been a month but it's been a game changer. Weight is down, body fat is almost gone. I haven't been this lean since high school. Most importantly my sugars are down, less peaks and troughs, no lethargy after bad carbs and no more constipation. This won't work for everyone but worth trying to change it up especially if you're dealing with pre or diabetes type 2.
When I got into nutrition and eating better I started to look at the nutritional content of different foods. I was blown away by how nutrient dense egss are. Whole eggs are a super food!
I raised some chickens in the past, naturally/organically & the yolks had a darker yellow more orange color and they tasted amazing! So honestly when I see a bright yellow yolk now I think twice! Also, I'm lovin' the beard & stache!!!
Since I was a teenager, I eat a minumun of 20 eggs a week - and up to 40, including ones that are part of other dishes I make. In the 80's people always told me I "would get fat" and "have high cholesterol" . Almost forty years later, I still have very LOW cholesterol, and a high good cholesterol. Other than +/- 5 or so pounds, I've been the same weight since high school and can wear Levi's that I've had since then - and have a 21.5 BMI. I've noticed that in the past few years more and more health professionals are also realizing the benefits or eating eggs. 😊
I, too, have always eaten at least two eggs daily from childhood, (now over 60). I noticed the difference very quickly if for some reason I "lapsed", (as when they were in the doldrums in the 80s), and quickly restored them to my diet on the grounds that my body knows best.
Same. I saw a video saying it increases risk of colon cancer by a crazy amount. My daughter is also allergic to them for now. So I had cut them out for 2 years. But I’m back eating them again and I missed them so much.
Anything can be bad for you if you consume too much of it. Even water. But two to four eggs a day is perfect. The egg is natures most perfect food. Along with black GRAM.
A lot of the negative things that were said about eggs was propped up by the beef industry, and of course the msm ran the propaganda for them, just like now with everything else.
You are an EXCELLENT educator of medicine and health! I've been overdosing on your videos because of the wealth of knowledge you are providing. Thank GOD for you! Blessings Dr. Berg!
I'm finding that my hair fall has stopped..and my nails grow really fast...my skin is more nourished....and I'm 61 ❤❤❤ I'm encouraging my daughter to incorporate more eggs in her diet especially for her hair nourishment
Been eating eggs for years. I never bought into the crap belief that eggs were bad for you. Just nonsense. I'll never forget my nutritionist 20 years ago told me I can have eggs everyday and it's solidified my belief that I could, and then when I checked in with my doctor she was horrified when she found out I was eating eggs and butter everyday. Told me your cholesterol is high. Here, I'll show you and put me in for a blood test, and my cholesterol actually went down and my weight was down. Needless to say she didn't have much to say after that.
@@alrightnow7248 My doctor was, at the time, of the old school belief that eggs would cause heart disease. I have to admit before I was really educated I went back and forth a few times. Now there are times I eat just the yolks and maybe one egg out of four is a whole egg. My nutritionist told me I could eat a lot of fat, as long as I stayed away from a lot of carbohydrates, and those carbohydrates should be complex like brown rice, baked potatoes, sweet potatoes, and really anything gluten free. My white coat didn't really know any better, because they don't teach them nutrition, they just teach them what the organs are, somewhat how the systems work, drugs, and the surgeons had to cut. That's it.
@@trotskyite1 Correct. However, not all medical doctors subscribe or prescribe to the same nonsense they were taught. Some do their own research and do the right thing by promoting healthy lifestyles. One of those is proper nutrition
YES what you feed them, influences the yolk colour. The more diverse the food, the more intense the yolk colour. My chickens are genuine free range. They scratch everywhere - especially where the horses are - so their diet includes insects and vegetation. Since I planted marigolds, their eggs are really orange!
Dr. Eric i never had the opportunity to say thanks for all your videos and advices, i did one of those keto diets some time ago and followed your advices to the letter and lost a massive amount of weight i went from 118kg to 80kg all thanks to you.
My breakfast consists of 4 eggs, 500g of spinach, a can of chickpeas and some butter on top. Love it, lasts me all day hunger-wise and is very healthy and low in carbs.
just keep eating what you're eating. the healthiets people in the world/ age up too 100 years eat carbohydrates. Dr.Eric Berg does give good information thoug.
@@craigwhite2930 aging is mainly genetics, there are many obese people drinking and smoking their whole life with no sports or physical activities reaching 80+ years, other ones with healthy lifestyle without alcohol and smoking getting strokes with 35 or Alzheimers
Up until recently I kept a few chickens.They pecked about in a field, ate mixed grain and whatever they found in the ground. Whenever I chopped wood there were often large white grubs which they loved. They took their daily walk around our property as a group chatting happily with each other. They had a big white rooster who kept them in order. Needless to say the eggs were amazing, often with double yolks and larger than any shop bought ones.
I have been on Daily 2 x Half-Boiled Eggs since a kid, I'm now 65; though I'm diagnosed with Diabetes Type 2 reading HbA1c@6.6 & POCT 7.0, Weight 74 kg, Height 1.74m. My BP reading is 110/70.

Thank you Dr. Eric Berg. I recently had a check up with my doctor and he told me that I should be eating eggs whites and very little egg yolk (explaining its not all that good for you). I tried to explain to him that the whole entire egg is good for health benefits. I think I will send this video to my doctor and see if his view changes.
James, I would change doctors. Seriously. If he was that wrong about wonderful eggs, what else is he wrong about ?? He isn't trustworthy with your health. Eggs are a perfect food.
I always remembered when I was a child about 25 years ago I went to visit my grandmother in Asia and to this day I always remembered how good her eggs were. The best eggs I’ve ever had to this day and i actually always remembered how insanely dark the yolks were because I had never seen an egg like that before in my life and still to this day from any store I mean. Like you said you need your own chickens and you can’t be cheap those chickens need to be as comfortable and happy as possible I believe that affects the quality of the eggs as well. Happy healthy eggs taste best. Poor stressed out chickens have their cortisol thru the roof all day every day how do you think that’s gonna affect the egg or even the poor chicken itself. If your gonna eat an animal at least give it a good life and be kind to it.
You are absolutely right! I grew up in Zimbabwe and we could always tell which house on the street was cooking chicken because of the nice chicken smell, then moved to Australia 20 years ago and the chickens are bland, no smell no flavour i even had to add chicken salt which is so bad for our health. I feel like the damage to both agriculture and aquaculture (fake salmon painted pink just like the egg yolks) is probably irreversible at this point.
You go Stan. That is rightly so. I agree fully with what you say. My mom raised chickens that let them eat insects, and worms, and it was free range as you would say and they were the best.
100% right. We need to stop being so utilitarian and actually consider the lives of the animals we eat - they want to live a decent life too before they die. Ideally free and wild, but if not, at least a decent, albeit sadly confined, existence.
Dr Berg. As someone who raises chickens, I cannot overstate the benefits of not feeding your chickens at all. Rather it is best to provide them with a composting mass such as laeves and grass clippings on which they can forrage. This will provide them with warmth, essential mycelium, bugs and potentially worms. In return they will supply you with super rich compost. The most they require from you is water, a safe roosting spot and nesting boxes. Hope you find this useful.
Am i to understand that you don’t give them any chicken feed at all? What type of climate do you live in? How large of an area do they have for free ranging? What about winter time? I’ve been considering trying this with my flock but i would like to hear more about how you are doing this. Thanks.
@@SuperheroArmorychannel Hi Dr Berg, That is correct. They are not given any feed when I have an ample mass of leaves, grass clippings and other compostable material. We live in North Idaho where the winters do not typically go below 10 degrees farhenheit with substantial snowfall. The composting of the mass provides significant warmth for the birds which, by the way, is amplified by their fecal waste. The chickens constantly forrage which helps keep the process going resulting in beautiful rich compost . Normally there is a more than amply of nutrients (bugs, worms, vegetation, and mycelium) to keep them much better nourished than with feed. It is an odd concept initially although consider any animal's natural diet. The chickens range within a fenced area of aproximately 100' x 100'. The ranging area is not particularly important while ample bio mass is. Hope this is helpful! Thanks for the great video content. Jim
@@jimbinger thanks for the information! A a few more questions: How many birds do you have in the 100’ x 100’ area? How many eggs do you get on average per day? Is there lots of grass growing in free range area? Or do the bird primarily feed from the compost material?
@@SuperheroArmorychannel We have 14 chickens (Novagen) and ,in the warmer months, we average 10 eggs per day. We don't provide artificial light during the winter thus production drops accordingly. The area of fenced space is much larger than necessary as it was previously enclosed to protect a garden. Relatively little space is needed for the process itself. The essential element is the size of composting mass one can accumulate. In a smaller mass supplemental feed might be needed but it might surprise you how the birds adapt. We learned of the principle through a video about a very large scale poultry composting concern in, I believe, New Hampshire. If I come across the video again, I'll be happy to forward the link. Cheers! Jim
Have been eating organic eggs for 3 years now and couldn't feel better: it has protein, fat, zero carbs, all the 9 essential aminoacids, thiamine, choline, it's light, it doesn't cause inflammation... It's like eggs are the perfect food, if I was in a deserted island and I could choose only one food for the rest of my life it would definitely be eggs!

"no salting your food!") has come full circle as "okay, you can eat these foods again, just try to avoid the factory farmed versions" to "eat eggs for long life!" Science! The all seeing, all knowing oracle...
Definitely a huge difference between home raised chicken eggs vs store bought. I've been raising chickens for a few years now. My hens give me 10 eggs a day (of all colors) and my rooster well hes our alarm clock in the morning😆, sure they slow down a little in the Winter But thrive during every other season. Healthy happy chicken, I often get Double yolkers 😊
@@davidchad77 we have a solid chicken coop and fence around them. They are secure inside the coop at night we also have to saint bernards and help keep predators away. The only animal we every have issues with are skunks but they don't really bother the chickens they're just looking for Left over food or eggs
My free pasture strictly forage, except winter, yolks we're dark orange. Preserve eggs for years by glassing them using pickling lime, that way you have them in the winter when production drops.
I love eggs and have been raising chickens for 40 years. I have found that the darkest yolks come from hens who lay brown eggs (at least during winter months mostly confined in the north) but when they get turned out in spring all the eggs have deeper orangey yellow yolks. I like your ideas about sprouting grains and grasses. In winter months, we have to feed grains, but your idea of sprouting would be a nice addition to the hens' feed. Thanks!
I cook eggs and bacon for my husband every day and yes we eat our breakfast around 1pm as opposed to 8 or something earlier. Thanks Dr I have enjoyed eggs and chicken since childhood on the farm
Began homesteading in 2018...process our own meat birds (broilers) and allow 30+ layers to free range. Always have plenty of eggs/chicken...Highly recommend this life. Thank you for your amazing videos!
I do 1 hour of cardio when I wake up, and 1 hour of weights in the evening. I eat 8 eggs/day. Everything is normal and healthy. I am 6 years older than my woman, and people routinely call her "the cougar". I get told that I look 10-12 years young than I am. I have been eating this many eggs a day for most of my life
Your overtraing..im training for the natural mr.universe..and my workouts total about three times a week for about twenty mins each session..about one hour a week..
Dr Berg, when i was a child, 40 plus years ago…my grandma had a hacienda down in Mexico and she of course had animals they consumed, and they planted corn, beans, many veggies, all natural, no pesticides,…. And my grandma fed them left over of our own food. They loved wet corned tortillas made into little pieces, rice, veggies, dry kernels just barely grinded…etc….the were also all day outside running a round…and they had a rooster in each chicken coup. The caws eat the corn husks, the grass and the dry cut cobs, the grass they mowed from the fields.. the goats eat all the leaves from the bushes that had thorns, and the grass from the lower lands of the hacienda…they very seldom had to buy anything to feed the animals, if you know what to do its not hard nor expensive to keep animals. They kept seeds to replant corn, beans….etc….you get everything from the plants themselves…thats how people before used to live… when they killed pig they kept all the fat for cooking, and use every piece of the animal…. If they killed a caw…they eat everything…and even used the skin, their intestine to make sausages, they, with the caw,s milk they made cheese, buttermilk, ….omg everything was so delicious…..
Yep, that's why I have my own chickens and feed them expensive organic feed, Scratch and peck feeds, and fresh veggies and herbs. My girls have complete freedom to range in my yard, and lots of love ❤️
I also eat 3-4 eggs per day with an avacado and siracha to be specific. I also eat about a 20+ garlic stuffed olives per day and most days some kind of gourd usually in the form of canned pumpkin puree. Those three things alone give me allot of the hard to get nutritional components on the daily. I feel like if you approach nutrition this way it's best. Find a base line of a few ingredients and recipes to get the harder to get micros and aminos etc. For example my olives, avacado and eggs, fish/ lean protein and gourds I eat every day assure no matter what else I eat that day that I got things like vitamin E,A,C magnesium, potassium, "healthy fat" mostly out of the way. I'll get more omega threes in to but I'll use variety there. Somedays I'll eat smoked herring for example others I may just take some cod liver oil. Anyway point my is find some stuff you like that has harder to get micros and is a good spread of everything you need. This should be about half your calories for the day the other half or whatever you just don't have to worry just eat whatever as long as it's not processed junk or all carbs or something. Be consistent and spontaneous everyday. GL. I feel like a babbled and that made little sense. If so just go add up the spectrum and quantities of all the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants etc you can cover with just a cpl eggs 1 avacado 25 olives and can of pumpkin puree or some sorta gord like acorn squash or butternut. You will see almost all of your base.line needs are met with like 1200 calories. you still got another 1200+ calories left for the day to fill in the quantity but at least you won't have missed anything. Ppl for days for example without getting things like vitamin E. That won't happen if you make sure you have a vitamin E food you like you eat every day Another way to say what I'm saying is to use whole foods how people use supplements. Find a few whole foods that represent a set of supplements and eat them.efwry day instead of supplements all the time.
I’ve slowly gravitated toward eating only a handful of foods, my “base”, and it has helped me immensely. I’m no longer a meat-eater, as my blood pressure got out of control, and meat was one of the things that was causing it. My body’s inflammatory response to meat was wearing me down, so I gave it up for a Plant-based diet, and it has worked so far. I don’t miss meat. I found a few “base” vegetables (carrots, kale, celery, plus a few others), and it has allowed me to eat so much better than than I did before. Both my weight and BP have dropped, and my joints don’t ache like they used to.
I raised chickens 🐓 for domestic use, they roamed 1/2 acre of dirt/sand plus grass, when I first saw the dark orange egg yolk, I thought that something was wrong with the eggs since I was use to store bought yellow yolked eggs. The only problem with free range chickens is their meat is tough, so, I used them for soup.
I started working out regularly 8 weeks ago and I started eating 4 eggs and a small salmon filet at work for lunch everyday to hopefully get the most out of my workouts. Great to hear that I made a good choice for lunch.
yes! I love salmon and eggs throughout the day. I had weightloss surgery almost a year ago and it's all about protein, protein, protein, so I eat a lot of salmon, eggs, and cottage cheese lol
I live in switzerland and our meat industry is really high level. There are almost no farmers that fully cage their animals. I buy my eggs from a farmer in my village. Amazing eggs.
mmmm same way i cook em. i could eat two dozen eggs every day easy peasy especially with some bacon but i cant eat bacon every single day like eggs. eggs fried in bacon grease is just the best and i cant have my bacon without dipping it in the egg yolk
I've been listening to you for several years now and it's changed my husband's life by reversing his diabetes and losing substantial weight. I love how you break out all the information. On the other hand I'm completely frustrated because I can't eat eggs, cruciferous veg, pulses or nightshades and I'd really love to lower my sky high cholesterol so doctors would stop throwing statins at me. Please make a video on alternatives for people with allergies/IBS/gastric troubles. We'd like to be healthy as well.
The wrong person to ask from what i have seen from his videos !!!, you should be asking GojiMan !!! , it is his very speciality !!! and he helped many people overcome their IBS !!! , then llive normally . And you can also try to ferment or simmer these vegetables you are having difficulties with .
Luna, I would investigate the YT videos about the GAPS diet, which is specifically for severe gut problems, as well as those about the "ketovore" & "carnivore" diets/lifestyles, esp videos by Drs. Berry, Baker, Chaffee, Cywes, Ekberg, Saladino, Westman, etc. I am certain you will find your answers there. Like you, I also can't eat any of the foods you mention, which had been causing my crippling arthritis for the last 10 years. But I am currently losing weight, building muscle & rapidly healing my arthritis on a "ketovore/carnivore" lifestyle, and feeling great while doing so. There IS hope!
So true I didn't believe this for a long time until I. Met someone of a different Faith who told me I was eating wrong that's why I couldn't control My diabetes unbelievable but so true
Been eating 4 eggs a day for 2 yrs now, usually first 3 eggs at 3pm, (boiled) then 30/45 min later I start my training routine, then about 15 to 20 min after training I eat one more egg. Works like a charm for me, for both building muscle as well as the sense of a full stomach. That’s aside of the nutrients you digest.
Excuse me for the prev comment, sent by itself for some reason. People often think especially the yolk is bad for cholesterol but it contain very important nutrients for both growth and healing, the egg whites are mostly proteins. But yolk contains good cholesterols. What’s bad for your cholesterol is eating eggs with bacon and cheese etc 😂 but eating your eggs whole is perfectly fine unless you suffer a sensitivity for certain compounds.
I drink about 3 every morning, sometimes a couple more at night too. Eggs are very cheap and it's super fast, lean and easy. Energy all day, i don't get hungry again until late night. They've made me buff af too. 💯
Definitely going to buy some barley seeds and sprout some for our chickens. We also add two handfuls of dried mealworms to their standard feed daily, they go nuts for those. I crush them before mixing so they last longer and has them scavenging for longer, and thus satisfied for longer.
My Mother died at 93 and ate 2 eggs for breakfast every day for as long as I can remember even when the medical association was telling people to eat them once or twice a week at most.
thanks for the very helpful advice you give here on your channel Dr. Berg. I'm sugar free now , my foot neuropathy almost gone, have more energy and generally feel great. Keep up the good work you are doing in educating the viewers about the dangers of refined sugar .
How did you get rid of peripheral neuropathy? I have had it for 7 years and doctors have to this day not found the cause. No diabetes. On healthy keto taking many supplements such at benfotiamine b vitamins and alpha Linoleum acid and more. ....
My free range chooks give me the best eggs, no grain, some sunflower seeds, but otherwise all grass and insects. Average life span for my chooks is about 10 years, so I think they are plenty healthy and happy. Love your videos.
I’m glad you mentioned how to cook eggs because according to a an article I read decades ago frying destroys the lethicin so I opt for poaching or boiling- with frying it’s too easy to have the temperature too high and lethicin may not be the only value destroyed - but the best thing about eating eggs is I can go all day without being hungry they satisfy so well

I am going to college to be a dietitian and your channel is the greatest help for me both academically and with my own personal health. thank you so much for all these videos
Thank you Dr. Berg! I'm a 60 y/o man, and have been eating Keto/carnivore for the last 5 years. I don't eat a lot of chicken, but eggs are a HUGE part of my diet (at least 4-5 almost every day) along with a lot of fatty meats, and some greens (broccoli, spinach, etc.). I recently had full blood work done (at the behest of my wife), and my test results were excellent. My NP couldn't believe my cholesterol and triglycerides (which were elevated several years ago, prior to Keto) were in the good ranges that they were. I almost think she wished (or expected) them to be much higher, given my way of eating. Needless to say, I (and my wife) were very happy. You (and Dr. Ken Berry) have been my inspiration and guiding lights. Again, thank you so very much for your channel! !
Dr. Tennant, maker of the biomodulator, once called eggs the 'perfect food', when the lowfat plant based diet was fashionable. I found it hard to believe, but after many articles and testaments to the fact like Dr. Berg's, I'm fully confident that this was a true statement.
I am vegetarian, in England and regularly eat Organic,free range "British" eggs. There is no mention in the video of boiling eggs; my regular means of eating them. I'd like to know what happens when boiling, whether for a runny yolk(seems the most beneficial) or "hard" boiled.
That's eggcellent because I love eggs! I love lifting weights, I love staying fit, youthful and healthy. I love Jesus above all else might as well put that out there while mentioning my loves lol and I also love eggs hahaa. My momma used to sometimes call me the egg man just messing around but yea they're good and good for you and quick and easy and economical praise God for eggs!!!

for all you body builders out there who are buying whey protein powder, here's a little math for you. A 2 lb whey Protein Powder bucket on amazon (depending on brand) costs around $37 for 29 servings of 24g protein per serving, which is $1.27 per serving. One extra large egg = 7.06 grams of protein, and a dozen Pasture-Raised Extra Large Eggs, at Shoprite = $6 , or 50 cents an egg (I did that in my head). So four eggs is $2 = 28 g of protein, but the egg protein has twice the Protein Bioavailability as the whey, and if you scramble the eggs with avocado and tomatoes is arguably about 50 times more delicious. Conclusion: go with eggs
Your videos has helped me loose 14 kg since January 1th. My main problem was - of course - sugar, but so many things I thought was really bad - like never eating breakfast, not drinking milk and loving eggs are now healthy parts of my new and improved life ;-) I am also thankfull to live in Denmark and not the US when it comes to food ! In Denmark even the cheap options of chicken breast contain only chicken - except sometimes they add water, but that has to be very clearly labelled.
One thing I'm not sure if he mentioned is Eggs are one of the foods with the highest serotonin which is the "good feeling" hormone. Serotonin helps wake you up, be more alert, and be in a better mood. Melatonin is released when it gets dark to help you fall asleep, so it is kind of the opposite of it.
Dr Berg, I just wanted to say. I love your shows. Also, this new video process is much better. You look so much more healthy! You’re reversing in age! I just put my parents on your videos. Thank you for being awesome!
Boil the egg for exactly 7 minutes... The inside is still humid when you start eating it and all the nutrients are still intact...but if you boil them for too long you will be eating it without the precious nutrients which have been destroyed... Let the water get to a boil first then place the eggs inside for exactly 7 minutes... Nice.
That is extremely interesting, do you mind if I may ask for some sources so that I can show it to my bros? I can't seem to find it or am I just bad at researching lolz
@@coconutoil1614 it's not commonly known! And the reason you need to boil it for 7 minutes is for in case of the eggs are contaminated with salmonella, that boiling time, (7 minutes) is enough to eliminate it. I learned this from a very reputable doctor, from Brazil. Dr. Lair Ribeiro!!! Amazing doctor!!!
Being Indian is hard when you follow dr. Berg. Vegetarian and Carbs are the foods that are celebrated around in Central India which makes it impossible to spread the awareness, however you are the best person when it comes to Eat and Pray and food anxiety.

I love that my neighbor allows his chickens to “free range” onto my property and even said if I feel like cooking one he’s more than fine with it. We trade food and favors all the time. Also great pest control around my house. I love thy neighbor.
Cooking an egg or a chicken?
Just an idea to help him out. I save all my egg cartons for a friend with chickens he always tells me he is thankful for that. Otherwise he said he needs to buy them.
Great pest control sounds great love it !

Dr. Berg, I went on your fasting diet and ate a lot of things you suggested. I want to thank you because no other Doctor gave me the advice that you have. I figured out I was insulin resistant from watching all your Diabetic Vids. I am type II diabetic, WAS overweight. I went from 267 down to 212 and still losing. I take a small shot of good virgin olive oil, coffee in the morning and around 12-1 I have eggs for lunch with an english muffin. Eat a sensible dinner at 6 and don't eat till the next day, sometimes I cheat and have a little ice cream. lol. My A1C is 5.6 and my sugar in the morning ranges from 85 to 95. I went from a 40 waist down to almost a 34. All i had to do was follow your direction, in which I did and have not felt as good as I do now!! So, THANK YOU my friend...
You deserve it keep working don’t give up!
Where i can find the fasting diet?
Great work and nice to see you haven't gone over the top and still eat some ice cream. That's the perfect balance. Eat well, walk often, treat sometimes!
Thanks for sharing your story Marc. It's very encouraging.
All natural peanut butter sprinkled with some salt and/or cacao nibs is a great ice cream alternative. Add some banana or whatever. Sometimes I dip apple slices.
I eat eggs everyday. I love eating eggs and was never afraid of any cholesterol issues even when I had not seen any videos on consuming eggs.
My mom has been raising chickens ever since I was a kid so I haven’t eaten store bought chicken and eggs in probably 15 years. Even now that I’m 25 and living by myself she still brings me an ungodly amount of eggs and chicken meat. After this video I’m pretty thankful for that.
I’m so jealous. I’d kill for a source of home raised, free range chicken eggs. Also- chimkins birbs are adorable 😅
From the description below the video.
Health benefits of eggs:
• Eggs are a great source of protein
• Eggs contain choline
• Eggs contain lecithin
• Eggs have vitamin K2, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin A
• Eggs are rich in omega-3 fatty acids
• Eggs are loaded with B vitamins
• Eggs have minerals and trace minerals
• Eggs contain carotenoids
Essentially a complete superfood source,
Don’t tell the bad stuff about eggs though lmao

My grandparents have chicken running around in the wild and whenever they give me eggs I can immediately tell the difference. Each egg looks different but the taste is way better than eggs from the supermarket. Same goes for vegetables. We grow salat, potatoes, onions, paprika and tomatoes at home. Many people do here in Austria. Wish you all the best!
They do not taste different. Eggs are eggs. Duck eggs are richer, goose eggs are peppery, but eggs are eggs.

Where I live in Croatia there are vending machines for almost all farmer products including eggs, so you can just get eggs from local farmers from a vending machine.

terrible advice to encourage people to eat that many eggs daily, it is loaded in cholesterol - a NORMAL healthy liver SHOULD in theory downregulate and upregulate cholesterol - unfortunately some people do not properly regulate cholesterol, in the case you cannot downregulate cholesterol production, you must limit your consumption of dietary cholesterol - so the whole eat that many eggs daily is not for everyone..............because it is not safe for everyone.

I add flax seed to our chicken feed and it ups the omega 3 and it gives a beautiful orange yolk. Coupled in with the free ranging on the pasture, it's why I eat 4 eggs. Free Run is uncaged but within a building but still on straight grains. Free Range is pastured. Love this channel

Just eat the flax seed but grind it first.

Thanks for this video! I watched this in late April and began eating 4 eggs with some meat & spinach for breakfast everyday, also watched a lot of your other videos and began working towards a keto lifestyle and intermittent fasting. In four months I've lost 50 lbs, my A1C went from 11 to 6.6, I'm taking 50mcg less levothyroxine, dropped 1 diabetes & 1 hbp med. Up til April I hadn't eaten eggs in 3 years, they always made me sick. Found out it was the combo of eggs with carbs that was making me sick. Again, thanks so much.
why the combo of eggs and carbo?

Since 2012 I've been consuming 3-5 eggs a day. Thats what I usually eat as my food for the duration of my work day. I deviated from that since the pandemic and switched to work from home. I gained close to 30lbs since then

@@SherryKWillette look into the Keto diet..not easy to reduce carbs to the point where you almost eliminate them but I did it for 3 months after I injured my foot and dropped a good amount of weight strictly due to this change. I’ve since added some carbs back to get more fiber (constipation during strict keto was a big drawback). Two other things that helped me trim down were no snacking between meals (used to be a snacker) and also being mindful to time when you eat I.e. 4-5 hour intervals. All of these things have helped me and hopefully they help you.

I used to add salt to my eggs because it would taste bland. Once i started eating organic pasture raised eggs I noticed that I didn’t need to add salt anymore. Also, the pasture raised eggs, the shell of the egg tends to be harder too, maybe an indication of a healthy egg.

@@ilbullymomma Sounds about right, sad to say.
Dr. Sten Ekberg also has good information, and I think Dr. Berg has mentioned him once or twice. Dr. Berg is still the better researcher, in my opinion, and his videos are much easier to 'digest,' if you will, because they're so much shorter and more frequent. Dr. Ekberg makes videos that are 30+ minutes, and I don't have the necessary attention span, unfortunately. He does offer very, very good information, though, very much in line with Dr. Berg's. He speaks rather slowly, both to let information sink in, and because he's Swedish, so English isn't his first language, and by his own admission, he has to really think of the words he wants to use.
Just wanted to make you aware that there is at least one other good, conscientious physiologist out there who is also working hard to inform people of the dangers of foul food practices, wrong and harmful foods and products, and who does his own research, just like Dr. Berg does.

Hello there just being curious boiled scrambled over easy what kind and what time do you usually eat it in the day because I do the same amount thank you 👍
Thank you! This confirms further to me that eggs are an incredible superfood. When I got diagnosed with T2 diabetes about 18 months ago I immediately adjusted my diet. I started eating eggs every morning. My doctors (primary and endocrinologist) said go easy on eggs, no more than 5 per week. I went from 2 a day to 3 and then 4 and I still do 4 a day and they are JUMBO eggs. I also usually have bacon with it (2-3 strips). When I went back after 3 months of 3-4 eggs per day (and I have been on a statin) my cholesterol, triglycerides had dropped from very high to mid-normal range. Next 3 months later they dropped to low normal. That's after INCREASING my eggs intake. I do 4 a day still, missing a day here or there but almost every day. And bonus - they are DELICIOUS. I thought I'd get sick of eggs but I haven't. And my health has improved, including my diabetic retinopathy (because I understand the lutein in eggs helps eyes so I credit the eggs with that). Thanks for spreading the word. Oh, and my doctors? when I told them I was having 4 eggs per day they both then said (independently of each other, not knowing what the other said) - "keep eating the eggs". Exactly that, they said!!!! They know it is a superfood but I think they're guided to be overly cautious and are a little afraid to tell people to eat them. Thank God for doctors like you who spread the truth about this superfood!!! I am thoroughly convinced - it's been 18 months and my health has only gotten better! By the way they removed me from taking insulin a year ago and just reduced my metformin by half 3 months ago!
@Jul I think, in fairness to the doctors, they tell people how to do natural things to control their diabetes but then most diabetics don't do it at all. Then the doctors become jaded and quickly move them onto medication and/or insulin. Everyone, just about, that I have met and that I know who is diabetic does NOT carefully watch their diet even though they know they're supposed to. One of them even says "Well I'm on metformin anyway so I might as well just let that do its work!!!" So it's not really the doctors, in my opinion. My doctor makes nothing from me taking metformin or insulin. My doctor actively tries to get me off of both of those. But my doctors also deal with dummies like my friends who don't want to change their diets. Here you have a video of a doctor telling people to eat eggs. Most will NOT listen. If they were his patients he'd have no choice but to put them on medication if they don't listen to his instructions on how to NATUALLY manage their diabetes.
@Kenji Polk Audio I’m bad I add a tablespoon of butter to my 4 eggs everyday.
Please look into statins, there is awful things they do to you, like give you Alzheimer’s, and the good stuff they do supposedly is very very sketchy, please research, they are not good for u. Have a nice day.
Brilliant, well done! Eggs are a complete protein,, they contain all 9 essential Amino Acids, building blocks of protein as do soya beans,. I eat organic, these are the only two compete protein foods.
That's fantastic!
Among their many benefits, 3-4 eggs are perfect for optimizing choline and selenium levels. Most selenium supplements are way too high, so that’s why I prefer eggs. The choline content has powerful benefits for the liver and brain, in addition to maintaining insulin sensitivity.
I get my selenium from 2 Brazil nuts a day, but they are very expensive, so I might stop buying them and just eat 3-4 raw eggs right before bedtime.
@@Fishin4funout4trout Definitely DO NOT eat RAW eggs!!
@@Fishin4funout4trout Eggs (and maybe occasional fish) are the best way to get selenium. Brazil nuts are less consistent (the amount varies a lot). Selenium is one of those nutrients where too much can cause the same health issues as too little, so that’s why the consistent amount in eggs is perfect. I would cook them though, it allows you to absorb the nutrients better.
Choline isn't good for men apparently...prostate cancer risk
@@JS-te4gz As with anything, balance is important, which is why Whole Foods are safer than supplements. My choline levels were mid-range, using eggs as my primary source. But keep in mind, choline deficiency can increase risk of insulin resistance and fatty liver. Insulin resistance is implicated in a wide range of chronic health conditions. Most people can synthesize choline, but if you’re not one of those people then eggs are a safe way to prevent deficiency.
2 to 3 Eggs & avocados with chicken sausage were all I ate every morning for over 2 years, following a keto based regimen in an attempt to get my A1c out of pre-diabetic range. But my numbers and my body felt like it plateaued. Weight was stable but more concerning was that I was experiencing more constipation. In an effort to change it up, I'm now doing vegan 3 to 4 days a week (more fruit, legumes, veggies) and it's only been a month but it's been a game changer. Weight is down, body fat is almost gone. I haven't been this lean since high school. Most importantly my sugars are down, less peaks and troughs, no lethargy after bad carbs and no more constipation. This won't work for everyone but worth trying to change it up especially if you're dealing with pre or diabetes type 2.

Since I was a teenager, I eat a minumun of 20 eggs a week - and up to 40, including ones that are part of other dishes I make. In the 80's people always told me I "would get fat" and "have high cholesterol" . Almost forty years later, I still have very LOW cholesterol, and a high good cholesterol. Other than +/- 5 or so pounds, I've been the same weight since high school and can wear Levi's that I've had since then - and have a 21.5 BMI. I've noticed that in the past few years more and more health professionals are also realizing the benefits or eating eggs. 😊
I, too, have always eaten at least two eggs daily from childhood, (now over 60).
I noticed the difference very quickly if for some reason I "lapsed", (as when they were in the doldrums in the 80s), and quickly restored them to my diet on the grounds that my body knows best.

Been eating eggs for years. I never bought into the crap belief that eggs were bad for you. Just nonsense. I'll never forget my nutritionist 20 years ago told me I can have eggs everyday and it's solidified my belief that I could, and then when I checked in with my doctor she was horrified when she found out I was eating eggs and butter everyday. Told me your cholesterol is high. Here, I'll show you and put me in for a blood test, and my cholesterol actually went down and my weight was down. Needless to say she didn't have much to say after that.

Some white coats have to lie in order to keep their jobs and license
@@alrightnow7248 My doctor was, at the time, of the old school belief that eggs would cause heart disease. I have to admit before I was really educated I went back and forth a few times. Now there are times I eat just the yolks and maybe one egg out of four is a whole egg.
My nutritionist told me I could eat a lot of fat, as long as I stayed away from a lot of carbohydrates, and those carbohydrates should be complex like brown rice, baked potatoes, sweet potatoes, and really anything gluten free. My white coat didn't really know any better, because they don't teach them nutrition, they just teach them what the organs are, somewhat how the systems work, drugs, and the surgeons had to cut.

@@matthewimi do you just throw out the yolks? Is it the protein you're adverse to? Thanks!
YES what you feed them, influences the yolk colour. The more diverse the food, the more intense the yolk colour. My chickens are genuine free range.

Sadly medical drs receive little nutritional education and mostly just write prescriptions…Unless they take initiative to educate themselves.
I always remembered when I was a child about 25 years ago I went to visit my grandmother in Asia and to this day I always remembered how good her eggs were. The best eggs I’ve ever had to this day and i actually always remembered how insanely dark the yolks were because I had never seen an egg like that before in my life and still to this day from any store I mean. Like you said you need your own chickens and you can’t be cheap those chickens need to be as comfortable and happy as possible I believe that affects the quality of the eggs as well. Happy healthy eggs taste best. Poor stressed out chickens have their cortisol thru the roof all day every day how do you think that’s gonna affect the egg or even the poor chicken itself. If your gonna eat an animal at least give it a good life and be kind to it.
@Stan Thompson you are 💯% right!
You are absolutely right! I grew up in Zimbabwe and we could always tell which house on the street was cooking chicken because of the nice chicken smell, then moved to Australia 20 years ago and the chickens are bland, no smell no flavour i even had to add chicken salt which is so bad for our health. I feel like the damage to both agriculture and aquaculture (fake salmon painted pink just like the egg yolks) is probably irreversible at this point.
You go Stan. That is rightly so. I agree fully with what you say. My mom raised chickens that let them eat insects, and worms, and it was free range as you would say and they were the best.
100% right. We need to stop being so utilitarian and actually consider the lives of the animals we eat - they want to live a decent life too before they die. Ideally free and wild, but if not, at least a decent, albeit sadly confined, existence.
Dr Berg. As someone who raises chickens, I cannot overstate the benefits of not feeding your chickens at all. Rather it is best to provide them with a composting mass such as laeves and grass clippings on which they can forrage. This will provide them with warmth, essential mycelium, bugs and potentially worms. In return they will supply you with super rich compost. The most they require from you is water, a safe roosting spot and nesting boxes. Hope you find this useful.
Am i to understand that you don’t give them any chicken feed at all? What type of climate do you live in? How large of an area do they have for free ranging? What about winter time? I’ve been considering trying this with my flock but i would like to hear more about how you are doing this. Thanks.
@@SuperheroArmorychannel I would like to know as well.
@@SuperheroArmorychannel Hi Dr Berg,
That is correct. They are not given any feed when I have an ample mass of leaves, grass clippings and other compostable material. We live in North Idaho where the winters do not typically go below 10 degrees farhenheit with substantial snowfall. The composting of the mass provides significant warmth for the birds which, by the way, is amplified by their fecal waste. The chickens constantly forrage which helps keep the process going resulting in beautiful rich compost . Normally there is a more than amply of nutrients (bugs, worms, vegetation, and mycelium) to keep them much better nourished than with feed. It is an odd concept initially although consider any animal's natural diet. The chickens range within a fenced area of aproximately 100' x 100'. The ranging area is not particularly important while ample bio mass is. Hope this is helpful! Thanks for the great video content. Jim
@@jimbinger thanks for the information! A a few more questions: How many birds do you have in the 100’ x 100’ area? How many eggs do you get on average per day? Is there lots of grass growing in free range area? Or do the bird primarily feed from the compost material?
@@SuperheroArmorychannel We have 14 chickens (Novagen) and ,in the warmer months, we average 10 eggs per day. We don't provide artificial light during the winter thus production drops accordingly. The area of fenced space is much larger than necessary as it was previously enclosed to protect a garden. Relatively little space is needed for the process itself. The essential element is the size of composting mass one can accumulate. In a smaller mass supplemental feed might be needed but it might surprise you how the birds adapt. We learned of the principle through a video about a very large scale poultry composting concern in, I believe, New Hampshire. If I come across the video again, I'll be happy to forward the link. Cheers! Jim

I love eggs and have been raising chickens for 40 years. I have found that the darkest yolks come from hens who lay brown eggs (at least during winter months mostly confined in the north) but when they get turned out in spring all the eggs have deeper orangey yellow yolks.

They loved wet corned tortillas made into little pieces, rice, veggies, dry kernels just barely grinded…etc….the were also all day outside running a round…and they had a rooster in each chicken coup. The caws eat the corn husks, the grass and the dry cut cobs, the grass they mowed from the fields.. the goats eat all the leaves from the bushes that had thorns, and the grass from the lower lands of the hacienda…they very seldom had to buy anything to feed the animals, if you know what to do its not hard nor expensive to keep animals. They kept seeds to replant corn, beans….etc….you get everything from the plants themselves…thats how people before used to live… when they killed pig they kept all the fat for cooking, and use every piece of the animal…. If they killed a caw…they eat everything…and even used the skin, their intestine to make sausages, they, with the caw,s milk they made cheese, buttermilk, ….omg everything was so delicious…..
Yep, that's why I have my own chickens and feed them expensive organic feed, Scratch and peck feeds, and fresh veggies and herbs. My girls have complete freedom to range in my yard, and lots of love ❤️
Lucky chickens and lucky owners
We do the same.
I also eat 3-4 eggs per day with an avacado and siracha to be specific. I also eat about a 20+ garlic stuffed olives per day and most days some kind of gourd usually in the form of canned pumpkin puree. Those three things alone give me allot of the hard to get nutritional components on the daily. I feel like if you approach nutrition this way it's best. Find a base line of a few ingredients and recipes to get the harder to get micros and aminos etc.
For example my olives, avacado and eggs, fish/ lean protein and gourds I eat every day assure no matter what else I eat that day that I got things like vitamin E,A,C magnesium, potassium, "healthy fat" mostly out of the way. I'll get more omega threes in to but I'll use variety there. Somedays I'll eat smoked herring for example others I may just take some cod liver oil. Anyway point my is find some stuff you like that has harder to get micros and is a good spread of everything you need. This should be about half your calories for the day the other half or whatever you just don't have to worry just eat whatever as long as it's not processed junk or all carbs or something. Be consistent and spontaneous everyday. GL.
I feel like a babbled and that made little sense. If so just go add up the spectrum and quantities of all the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants etc you can cover with just a cpl eggs 1 avacado 25 olives and can of pumpkin puree or some sorta gord like acorn squash or butternut. You will see almost all of your base.line needs are met with like 1200 calories. you still got another 1200+ calories left for the day to fill in the quantity but at least you won't have missed anything. Ppl for days for example without getting things like vitamin E. That won't happen if you make sure you have a vitamin E food you like you eat every day
Another way to say what I'm saying is to use whole foods how people use supplements. Find a few whole foods that represent a set of supplements and eat them.efwry day instead of supplements all the time.
@Daniel Geci Very helpful , thank you
I’ve slowly gravitated toward eating only a handful of foods, my “base”, and it has helped me immensely.
I’m no longer a meat-eater, as my blood pressure got out of control, and meat was one of the things that was causing it. My body’s inflammatory response to meat was wearing me down, so I gave it up for a Plant-based diet, and it has worked so far. I don’t miss meat.
I found a few “base” vegetables (carrots, kale, celery, plus a few others), and it has allowed me to eat so much better than than I did before. Both my weight and BP have dropped, and my joints don’t ache like they used to.
What type of recipes do you put the pumpkin puree in?
Egg onion & avacado daily
Seaweed too. Trace mins...
I raised chickens 🐓 for domestic use, they roamed 1/2 acre of dirt/sand plus grass, when I first saw the dark orange egg yolk, I thought that something was wrong with the eggs since I was use to store bought yellow yolked eggs. The only problem with free range chickens is their meat is tough, so, I used them for soup.
Poor chickens. You can't have eggs if you eat chicken soup!
You're not only a medical doctor but a farmer! 🥺 You're very cool and thank you so much, you are a guide, you are a teacher, you are a health savior 🖤
And if you wanna be accurate the farmer is the true doctor. Our food should be our medicine
I started working out regularly 8 weeks ago and I started eating 4 eggs and a small salmon filet at work for lunch everyday to hopefully get the most out of my workouts. Great to hear that I made a good choice for lunch.
yes! I love salmon and eggs throughout the day. I had weightloss surgery almost a year ago and it's all about protein, protein, protein, so I eat a lot of salmon, eggs, and cottage cheese lol
Farmed salmon is the most toxic product sold in supermarkets z
Do not eat farmed salmon and some wild is high in toxins, too.
Sure he did.
Stop buying bread and refined carbs and watch the pounds disappear.
I live in switzerland and our meat industry is really high level. There are almost no farmers that fully cage their animals. I buy my eggs from a farmer in my village. Amazing eggs.
You can be satisfied and happy because no war has affected you as much as it has affected us...
From last three month I eat 4 egg day my a1c down from 6 to 5.5 my total cholestrol down from 250 to 150
Wonderful. Enjoy eating eggs!
I just had 4 eggs before I saw this! I cook over easy in grass-fed butter. I wasn't hungry for 6 hours. Thanks Dr. Berg.
mmmm same way i cook em. i could eat two dozen eggs every day easy peasy especially with some bacon but i cant eat bacon every single day like eggs. eggs fried in bacon grease is just the best and i cant have my bacon without dipping it in the egg yolk

I've been listening to you for several years now and it's changed my husband's life by reversing his diabetes and losing substantial weight. I love how you break out all the information. On the other hand I'm completely frustrated because I can't eat eggs, cruciferous veg, pulses or nightshades and I'd really love to lower my sky high cholesterol so doctors would stop throwing statins at me.
Please make a video on alternatives for people with allergies/IBS/gastric troubles. We'd like to be healthy as well.
The wrong person to ask from what i have seen from his videos !!!, you should be asking GojiMan !!! , it is his very speciality !!! and he helped many people overcome their IBS !!! , then llive normally .
And you can also try to ferment or simmer these vegetables you are having difficulties with .
He has helped me lose over 100lbs and reverse my Type 2 Diabetes. 2018 my A1C was 13.1, today it’s 5.4. He is a blessing to the Obese community
Luna, I would investigate the YT videos about the GAPS diet, which is specifically for severe gut problems, as well as those about the "ketovore" & "carnivore" diets/lifestyles, esp videos by Drs. Berry, Baker, Chaffee, Cywes, Ekberg, Saladino, Westman, etc. I am certain you will find your answers there.
Like you, I also can't eat any of the foods you mention, which had been causing my crippling arthritis for the last 10 years. But I am currently losing weight, building muscle & rapidly healing my arthritis on a "ketovore/carnivore" lifestyle, and feeling great while doing so. There IS hope!
So true I didn't believe this for a long time until I. Met someone of a different Faith who told me I was eating wrong that's why I couldn't control My diabetes unbelievable but so true
Quail eggs is a good alternative. They are very small but taste like chicken eggs.
Been eating 4 eggs a day for 2 yrs now, usually first 3 eggs at 3pm, (boiled) then 30/45 min later I start my training routine, then about 15 to 20 min after training I eat one more egg. Works like a charm for me, for both building muscle as well as the sense of a full stomach. That’s aside of the nutrients you digest.
Absolutely.
Plenty of healthy
proteins,
good fats,
vitamins,
and minerals.
Hi.Thats makes such sense, instead of woofing down 4 in the morning, spread it out.Cheers,good advice
Do you eat 4 whole? With all yolks?
Eggs with a meal or just eggs?
Excuse me for the prev comment, sent by itself for some reason.
People often think especially the yolk is bad for cholesterol but it contain very important nutrients for both growth and healing, the egg whites are mostly proteins. But yolk contains good cholesterols. What’s bad for your cholesterol is eating eggs with bacon and cheese etc 😂 but eating your eggs whole is perfectly fine unless you suffer a sensitivity for certain compounds.
I drink about 3 every morning, sometimes a couple more at night too. Eggs are very cheap and it's super fast, lean and easy. Energy all day, i don't get hungry again until late night. They've made me buff af too. 💯
Definitely going to buy some barley seeds and sprout some for our chickens.
We also add two handfuls of dried mealworms to their standard feed daily, they go nuts for those. I crush them before mixing so they last longer and has them scavenging for longer, and thus satisfied for longer.
This way of raising chickens make you healthy and your chicken happy.
@@elizabethtencer7950 The cheapest oatmeal flakes you can find. They're bonkers for those too.
My Mother died at 93 and ate 2 eggs for breakfast every day for as long as I can remember even when the medical association was telling people to eat them once or twice a week at most.
thanks for the very helpful advice you give here on your channel Dr. Berg. I'm sugar free now , my foot neuropathy almost gone, have more energy and generally feel great. Keep up the good work you are doing in educating the viewers about the dangers of refined sugar .
Hello Mark so are eggs good for neuropathy. Thank you very much.
How did you get rid of peripheral neuropathy? I have had it for 7 years and doctors have to this day not found the cause. No diabetes. On healthy keto taking many supplements such at benfotiamine b vitamins and alpha Linoleum acid and more. ....

My free range chooks give me the best eggs, no grain, some sunflower seeds, but otherwise all grass and insects.
Average life span for my chooks is about 10 years, so I think they are plenty healthy and happy.
Love your videos.
Eww
I’m glad you mentioned how to cook eggs because according to a an article I read decades ago frying destroys the lethicin so I opt for poaching or boiling- with frying it’s too easy to have the temperature too high and lethicin may not be the only value destroyed - but the best thing about eating eggs is I can go all day without being hungry they satisfy so well
You can do braised eggs...butter and à tiny bit of water to make a "fried" egg
My grandfather lived to 96. He ate many eggs every day all his life. No cholesterol issues whatsoever. Pasture raised organic Eggs are nothing but super healthy for you 👍🏻

Thank you Dr. Berg!
I'm a 60 y/o man, and have been eating Keto/carnivore for the last 5 years. I don't eat a lot of chicken, but eggs are a HUGE part of my diet (at least 4-5 almost every day) along with a lot of fatty meats, and some greens (broccoli, spinach, etc.). I recently had full blood work done (at the behest of my wife), and my test results were excellent. My NP couldn't believe my cholesterol and triglycerides (which were elevated several years ago, prior to Keto) were in the good ranges that they were. I almost think she wished (or expected) them to be much higher, given my way of eating. Needless to say, I (and my wife) were very happy.
You (and Dr. Ken Berry) have been my inspiration and guiding lights. Again, thank you so very much for your channel!

Dr. Tennant, maker of the biomodulator, once called eggs the 'perfect food', when the lowfat plant based diet was fashionable. I found it hard to believe, but after many articles and testaments to the fact like Dr. Berg's, I'm fully confident that this was a true statement.
I am vegetarian, in England and regularly eat Organic,free range "British" eggs. There is no mention in the video of boiling eggs; my regular means of eating them. I'd like to know what happens when boiling, whether for a runny yolk(seems the most beneficial) or "hard" boiled.
That's eggcellent because I love eggs! I love lifting weights, I love staying fit, youthful and healthy. I love Jesus above all else might as well put that out there while mentioning my loves lol and I also love eggs hahaa. My momma used to sometimes call me the egg man just messing around but yea they're good and good for you and quick and easy and economical praise God for eggs!!!

My husband makes eggs over easy and sprinkle roasted black sesame on top of it. He said that it is good for me. All organic. Thank you Dr. Berg 🙏
You were so smart to move to a farm Dr. Berg! I wish every city neighborhood had a community farm no GMO and all Organic! Thank you Dr. Berg for ALL your Wonderful videos🌟
for all you body builders out there who are buying whey protein powder, here's a little math for you. A 2 lb whey Protein Powder bucket on amazon (depending on brand) costs around $37 for 29 servings of 24g protein per serving, which is $1.27 per serving. One extra large egg = 7.06 grams of protein, and a dozen Pasture-Raised Extra Large Eggs, at Shoprite = $6 , or 50 cents an egg (I did that in my head). So four eggs is $2 = 28 g of protein, but the egg protein has twice the Protein Bioavailability as the whey, and if you scramble the eggs with avocado and tomatoes is arguably about 50 times more delicious. Conclusion: go with eggs
Your videos has helped me loose 14 kg since January 1th. My main problem was - of course - sugar, but so many things I thought was really bad - like never eating breakfast, not drinking milk and loving eggs are now healthy parts of my new and improved life ;-) I am also thankfull to live in Denmark and not the US when it comes to food ! In Denmark even the cheap options of chicken breast contain only chicken - except sometimes they add water, but that has to be very clearly labelled.
@@rosalindr4975 THEY ??
One thing I'm not sure if he mentioned is Eggs are one of the foods with the highest serotonin which is the "good feeling" hormone. Serotonin helps wake you up, be more alert, and be in a better mood. Melatonin is released when it gets dark to help you fall asleep, so it is kind of the opposite of it.
Dr Berg, I just wanted to say. I love your shows. Also, this new video process is much better. You look so much more healthy! You’re reversing in age! I just put my parents on your videos. Thank you for being awesome!
My chickens prefer meat over grains. They love worms, grasshoppers etc. I have a big compost area for them to scratch in.
Boil the egg for exactly 7 minutes... The inside is still humid when you start eating it and all the nutrients are still intact...but if you boil them for too long you will be eating it without the precious nutrients which have been destroyed...
Let the water get to a boil first then place the eggs inside for exactly 7 minutes... Nice.
Didn't know that thanks
That is extremely interesting, do you mind if I may ask for some sources so that I can show it to my bros? I can't seem to find it or am I just bad at researching lolz
@@coconutoil1614 it's not commonly known! And the reason you need to boil it for 7 minutes is for in case of the eggs are contaminated with salmonella, that boiling time, (7 minutes) is enough to eliminate it. I learned this from a very reputable doctor, from Brazil. Dr. Lair Ribeiro!!! Amazing doctor!!!
Being Indian is hard when you follow dr. Berg. Vegetarian and Carbs are the foods that are celebrated around in Central India which makes it impossible to spread the awareness, however you are the best person when it comes to Eat and Pray and food anxiety.
Totally agree
