I have lost alot of weight from 201 to 166 now was as low as 157. Got to get back on track. Im starting to crave sweets way more because I've been eating a higher level of carbs..proud of myself for being able to pinpoint the issue. THANKS Dr.Berg
I find eating three healthy meals a day, plus drinking water should stop the sugar cravings. Every time I skip breakfast, I crave sugary desserts at night, which drives me crazy since I usually don't have anything with sugar. I end up getting some dark chocolate 85% or cookies with a little sugar (4 grams) for those days.(the reason I skip breakfast or eat cookies, etc due to pain- don't do this) I've gone without sugar for over 2 5 years so my body, taste buds already no what it is like. I also only drink water, tea sometimes which helps with not wanting sugar items too. It takes some time to work on your taste buds, but when you do. You will not want anything real sugary. I still enjoy dessert after dinner, but not sweet like before. Good Luck! You can do it!! 😊
@@memekendall3197that is TERRIBLE advice. You're not lowering your insulin. When you fast, even briefly...i.e. dont eat breakfast, eat from 11 am to 7pm for example, you'll lower insulin and youll burn body fat to make up any caloric shortfall. "Intermittent Fasting".

I have lost 128 pounds in 9’months by following Dr Bergs diet advice. I also lost the weight during menopause. Thank you Dr Berg. I am from the UK and can’t thank you enough
@lesleycourtney. That's amazing results and such an inspiration! I have just begun my own weight-loss journey in preparation for my return to work after raising my kids. Menopause is fast approaching for me. Thank you for your comment. It's given me much motivation ❤ Congratulations on your fabulous transformation and may you and family be blessed 💕
Summary 1. Manage insulin levels - Keeping insulin low is important for fat loss. Avoiding refined carbs and sugars helps with this. 2. Focus on high-fiber, low-glycemic carb intake. 50g/day 3. Eat adequate protein with every meal, about 30-40g per serving 4. Incorporate MCT oil into your diet. MCTs get converted into ketones and energy instead of being stored as fat. 5. Do both strength training and cardio. Building muscle raises metabolism long-term while cardio burns calories directly. 6. Manage cortisol levels through low stress habits like sufficient sleep, sunlight and relaxing activities. 7. Be patient with fat loss results as weight loss isn't always linear. Sticking to lifestyle changes matters most.
Dr. Berg is correct on restaurants. Even the fancy high end restaurants use seed oils. That’s why it’s best to make your own meals at home most of the time.
Keep on Marching Dr. Berg! You Sir are making a positive impact on many people. May God continue to bless you as you have blessed us with your knowledge and content.
Ive been following dr bergs advice for 5+ years now and with my culture already knowing about the importance of fasting ive had the luck to be born into this life style, ive spent the past years trying to spread the word but it breaks my heart so when many would still rather believe in old or modern misinformation. I try and fail but i keep going Because i know ill find those few willing to listen
4:30 Cortisol. Never talk about remove coffee ☕️ to massively reduce cortisol. Nothing works for me until I do this. Sleep is then amazing, stress is way down, fat loss only then starts, and is rapid. And.. I'm so much more regulated mentally.
I consume a lot of caffeine (Celsius, natural green tea based). It helps me get through the type of work I do (IT). I have started taking estrogen blockers. I see some immediate benefits with my mental state and mood. But most of all is removing stress and sleeping more often.
Thank you.I have never think about that.I drunk 5 coffees and i cannot still burn last 7 kg.Probably that one was the problem part.I will try tomorrow starting with a cup green tea with ginger 🫚.Thanks again
Drinking black, unsweetened coffee, has made no difference to my weight-loss on keto/carnivore, LCHF diet without much additional exercise. 68yr old male, began at 325lb eight years ago and now down to 199 with just 24lb to go (and keep it off!) to achieve my personal target.
I have learn more in a year then from my whole life with you Dr Berg. I learn how to heal with fasting and what i put in my mouth, yes its true “you are what you eat“ and for that i had lost 83 lbs and still loosing to stay in my normal weight but I feel amazing better than in my younger years. Thank you!
Love learning more from your insightful videos, Dr Berg. Also love the fact that you refer to sources and provide scientific evidence. You're right that a healthy diet, IF and good habits make a difference and has a good impact in our health. Turning off the TV news, avoiding toxic people, going out for a walk and spending some time in nature help significantly. Thank you so much for your continuous advice 🙏🏻
44-year-old woman, perimenopausal. I stalled on keto after doing it for over 5 years. Then I switched to carnivore and eliminated all dairy. Nothing happened for 3 weeks. Then the fat just started melting off. Went from 139 to 125 in 4 months, not doing much exercise. Very happy with carnivore results.
Me too! I had always been in great shape but in my forties 5:08 the same old tricks didn’t work.i slowly gained weight while eating a very green based keto diet. It took a lot to convince me to give up my big salad every day but someone challenged me to do carnivore for a month. I lost 23 pounds that month, and went on to lose 20 moreover the next two months. Now at 51 I a 5’2” 118 lbs and all the 20 year olds at the gym are asking for my advice to get ripped! Now my big salad is my cheat meal! The best part is I feel amazing.
Good to know about the Cortisol and Insulin! I have lost weight doing Keto with intermittent fasting which I thought would be almost impossible at 70 years of age! You get to the bottom line faster than any book I've ever read regarding the key issues of health, and how to remedy the issues that keep you from from being healthy! God bless you
What a great video! So much information, to the point, inside 10 minutes. You can't get this anywhere else. I forward these videos to my patients on a daily basis. Thank you, Dr. Berg
Thanks for the reminder. Please make a video on how progesterone is affected by Keto OMAD in post menopausal women. I lost 65lbs and about 50% of my hair at around the three months mark on Keto OMAD. I’ve been on keto IF for 23 months and while some of it has grown back, it is still thin. I even started dabbling at wearing wigs to cover it. Thanks, Dr. Berg.
try eating more protein (not less than 1.6 g per kilogram of your bw, aim to 1.8-2g). A lot of people, especially women, tend to not have enough protein in their meals on keto and carnivore, if they do Omad.
Sharing Dr Berg notes: You can not burn fat if insulin is too high. Aim for less than 50 grams of carbs per day to avoid spiking insulin. Intermittent fasting can also help prevent insulin spikes. Seed oils and modified food starches like MSG trigger insulin and inflammation and should be avoided. To help lower insulin, do the following: 1. Lower your carbohydrate intake 2. Do intermittent fasting 3. Drink apple cider vinegar with water 4. Consume berberine and cinnamon Estrogen and cortisol can also cause your body to store fat. To lower estrogen, avoid synthetic hormones and chemicals in your environment. Choose organic foods to avoid pesticides and herbicides that mimic estrogen in the body. To minimize cortisol, focus on stress reduction. Physical activity like housework, long walks, or exercise can get your mind off of stress. Vitamin B1 and vitamin D are also very important for keeping cortisol levels low. Growth hormone and IGF-1 (Insulin-like growth factor 1) are the main hormones involved in fat burning. Intense exercise, good sleep habits, moderate protein intake, and intermittent fasting trigger growth hormone and IGF-1. Sprinting is one of the best workouts to trigger these hormones to burn fat. Testosterone, glucagon, thyroid hormone (T3), and adrenaline are also important for fat-burning. To boost testosterone naturally, ensure that you’re consuming foods high in zinc and make sure you’re getting enough cholesterol. Exercise is important, but only contributes to about 15% of your overall weight loss. Exercise can lower stress, improve sleep, and also trigger glucagon and adrenaline. Thank you Dr Berg! 😺👍
Great Information. I had Adrenal Exhaustion during menopause so Keto and Intermittent Fasting were the only ways I was able to lose weight. I continue to enjoy Keto because I feel and look great. Good Morning Everyone. Take Excellent Care of Yourselves 🧡👍🏽
I was given prednisone when I was very little because I wasn't eating. That was the worse thing my family did to me. I blew up and had a weight problem with food all my life until now. I have a grip on my calorie intake. I gave up sugar, all heavy starch laden carbs. I do IF every day cutting my food intake down by no later than 6:30.
Thanks Dr Berg for your videos. Im not on Keto but Im more aware of what Im eating, Ill only put virgin olive oil on my salad, no vegetable oils. And eating two salads prepay with protein, fats and fibre.
I absolutely loved this Doc. Thank you for your content. Here’s an idea … Dr. Mindy Pelz and you need to do a podcast together because (although her focus are women) I think you two would truly make a great duo on talking more about hormones, exercise, and healthy eating for women and men after 40.
Yes, I went to an Endocrinologist and was given a diet which included "complex carbohydrates". 😒 It didn't work for me. I feel achy when I eat vegetables.
Ok, Doc, so women over 60 are prescribed estrogen cream, what do they take to balance estrogen so that it continues to work, but keeps fat off the belly? Do they take progesterone, do they only do KETO? Do they stop HRT and just do KETO, or do they do HRT with KETO?! We womenfolk need a few more self helps on balancing hormones specifically for situations related to menopause, please!
Go carnivore and eliminate all dairy. The fat will just melt off. I also take microionized progesterone (no estrogen yet cause I’m 44). Progesterone made me drop the weight even faster.
Great vieo! I got off track during the holidays and was eating more carbs and sugar. Down my 3 lb gain but my doctor wants me to lose another 10. This inspires me to move forward. BTW I fasted 17+ hours last night into today. I cheated over the holidays but always fasted 12 hours at a minimum, usually 14-17 hours.
If you're a Moslem. You could do a sunnah shaum every Monday and Thursday. It can helps you to maintain your sugar craving by doing intermittent fasting.
Thank you, Dr.Berg, for presenting all of this important information over the years in an increasingly simplified manner, so that I can understand and follow the information better 😅 Things just keep making MORE sense every time you make a new video. ♥️
Doctor le agradezco mucho que comparta sus conocimientos con nosotros ❤ Me gustaría saber su opinión sobre lipedema y su relación con la hipersensibilidad intestinal. Gracias.
It's a shame that the University system is so arrogant not to recognize Dr. Berg as an MD. He knows more and applies more than so many MD's and even some scientists out there. If TH-cam video credits could not qualify him, you know it is mostly a University type club. Surgeons may be an exception but they are still not nutritionists. 🎓
Hey doc, could you comment on the quality of bacon on healthy keto? I understand the macros are in line, but what about the preservatives and nitrites, the pig's diet and other harmful chemicals? curious why you'd recommend it, and how much. Talon Fitness puts bacon in the C tier of proteins.
Dr.Berg you make super video's and the input what we get is very knowledgeable. Please do a full video on Kids 8-16... what to eat and not . who are doing sports.. Eating carbs, suger, drinking sugary drinks etc... how it affects in the long run to the kids health. thanks....
God bless you Dr.Berg 🙏 You are extremely generous providing all this information to the world ❤ You do an incredible job breaking everything thing down! I'm sharing your videos to family and friends. You sir, are saving my life!
Thanks for great video i noticed you mentioned Prednisone, i have ocular myasthenia gravis and I take about 5mg but increeses sometimes when eye has double vision is there anything I can do to help? thanks in advance
Thank you for this useful information What is the best way to do fasting: Fasting while drinking water or without water at all? I would like to have some knowledge on this please
Hello. You can fast with or without water. Please see the videos below. th-cam.com/video/suxKTJYy9Gc/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/eZWI1cys4dA/w-d-xo.html
Dr Berg can you please clarify if less than 50g carbs is net carbs or total carbs? Are you including carbs from veggies? Thank you. All of this is very helpful and I’m learning a lot
New to this channel and loving it. Struggling to find reliable info online for fat loss when having Type 1 diabetes since our body cannot produce insulin and we rely on artificial insulin/pump. Any chance you could produce a video on that topic?
Thank you for sharing, Dr. Berg. I am in remission from Addison's disease. 12 years of steroids, I gained a lot of weight, something I never had to deal with before. It's been 11 months now. Thanks to the cortisol reduction, I have finally started to lose weight. I'm still struggling with some belly fat. I also have MCAS/EDS/POTS and I battle vitamin deficiencies. I really appreciate your vitamin and supplement information. Going to try all of these suggestions, I have been doing a few, but I have not giving it my all. What you said about the body taking 24 hours to recover from eating bad carbs or foods really resonated with me. I'll definitely be reminding myself that the next time I have the urge to eat some sugar. Thank you so much again.
Dr. Elizabeth Bright MD has her patients do 80% fat diet. She also has protein what would be considered low. Hormones need fat and cholesterol to be made and moved in the body. This is her initial 30+ day protocol.
Dr, as far as I know if we want to build muscle in gym by doing weight training, overall intake of Calories per day should be higher than that we burn. I just wonder whether 50g of carb per day is enough if we want to build muscle
One point of correction here Dr. Berg is when you say "moderate" protein...people can confuse that with limit your meat eating, I was keto for a couple of years and switched to carnivore to experiment to see if I would do better or worse or the same and after several months of carnivore, I not only feel as great as I did on keto I would say I did even a little better when it comes to energy and muscle building on carnivore and I eat 90% animal based products with a 70% meat 30% fat ratio. So without understanding exactly what you meant by "moderate" meat, I thought it was important to throw my personal experience with MOSTLY protein with fat to make up for the lack of fiber in plant based products, stools have never been better as well being carnivore!

Is there a worry about exercise with the Berberine? Do B vitamins need to be taken together? B1 alright what about niacinamide I think it’s b3? When to take all these What time of day for the berberine? Thank you
HOw does leptin / leptin resistance fit into the fat burning equation? How do I manage the desire to overeat if my leptin keeps signaling eat, eat, eat? How do i get that signal under control?
One correction - Gatorade doesn't even have much glucose anymore - it'a mostly fructose, which is even worse! Gatorade used to not taste as good in the 1990s because it was only sweetened with glucose. You're missing a huge part of biochemistry which is the difference between fructose and glucose metabolism
Hi, love all your videos! There was one thing in this video that confused me, which was that we should be lowering oestrogen. I thought women going through menopause had lower oestrogen, and that’s why they put on weight, especially around their belly. It seems to be the opposite message???
Your videos are worth watching and applying of course. I have hemifacial spasm which is creating a problem. I am taking tegral regularly but still it's not over. Please help me
I have lost alot of weight from 201 to 166 now was as low as 157. Got to get back on track. Im starting to crave sweets way more because I've been eating a higher level of carbs..proud of myself for being able to pinpoint the issue. THANKS Dr.Berg
Me too! Much success 👏🏼
Sounds like me and just a little bit of carbs only wants just a bit more carbs. I to am getting back on track. It’s all or no result’s.
I find eating three healthy meals a day, plus drinking water should stop the sugar cravings. Every time I skip breakfast, I crave sugary desserts at night, which drives me crazy since I usually don't have anything with sugar. I end up getting some dark chocolate 85% or cookies with a little sugar (4 grams) for those days.(the reason I skip breakfast or eat cookies, etc due to pain- don't do this)

@GenericAccountVLR SMH...the "universe" is a place not a Supreme being.
I absolutely loved this Doc. Thank you for your content. Here’s an idea … Dr. Mindy Pelz and you need to do a podcast together because (although her focus are women) I think you two would truly make a great duo on talking more about hormones, exercise, and healthy eating for women and men after 40.
I would love to see this because there are some BIG differences in opinions!
Yes, I went to an Endocrinologist and was given a diet which included "complex carbohydrates". 😒 It didn't work for me. I feel achy when I eat vegetables.
People value and take care of their health because of you ! Thank you for always sharing great information
Very glad to be of help.
Ok, Doc, so women over 60 are prescribed estrogen cream, what do they take to balance estrogen so that it continues to work, but keeps fat off the belly? Do they take progesterone, do they only do KETO? Do they stop HRT and just do KETO, or do they do HRT with KETO?! We womenfolk need a few more self helps on balancing hormones specifically for situations related to menopause, please!
I'm over 60 and cannot find a doctor willing to give me any hormones...regardless of all my symptoms
@@debiwillis9045 Neither can I. I'm in the UK.
Go carnivore and eliminate all dairy. The fat will just melt off. I also take microionized progesterone (no estrogen yet cause I’m 44). Progesterone made me drop the weight even faster.
@@debiwillis9045go to a functional medicine doctor, naturopath or prescribing pharmacist that has training in bioidentical hormones.
Thank doc. You always motivate me to take better care of myself and my family
What do you recommend for lip gloss.
Dr Berg you Rock. Thank you so much
Great vieo! I got off track during the holidays and was eating more carbs and sugar. Down my 3 lb gain but my doctor wants me to lose another 10. This inspires me to move forward. BTW I fasted 17+ hours last night into today. I cheated over the holidays but always fasted 12 hours at a minimum, usually 14-17 hours.
If you're a Moslem. You could do a sunnah shaum every Monday and Thursday. It can helps you to maintain your sugar craving by doing intermittent fasting.
True, and break fast with low carb foods
I want info on Sesame seed oil and Avocado oil; and also
Flax & Chia oils.
Thank you, Dr.Berg, for presenting all of this important information over the years in an increasingly simplified manner, so that I can understand and follow the information better 😅 Things just keep making MORE sense every time you make a new video. ♥️
Your advice has been fantastic!
Glad you found it helpful!
Dr. Berg, you’re an amazing human being!!! Thank you sooo much for all of your outstanding content!
I appreciate your kind words.
God bless you Dr thanks I have a hard time digesting green salad and fiber. What do you recommend? Pls!
Greetings from Brazil Dr .Berg.
Thank you so much !
You're very welcome!
Doctor le agradezco mucho que comparta sus conocimientos con nosotros ❤
Me gustaría saber su opinión sobre lipedema y su relación con la hipersensibilidad intestinal.
Gracias.
It's a shame that the University system is so arrogant not to recognize Dr. Berg as an MD. He knows more and applies more than so many MD's and even some scientists out there. If TH-cam video credits could not qualify him, you know it is mostly a University type club. Surgeons may be an exception but they are still not nutritionists. 🎓
And he explains the science behind it. That is what I like, not just do it syndrome
thanks for this video, can u suggest me iodine that i can rub on my hand for absorption, does it work??? I use pink salt - is it bad for health???
Has anyone else started seeing ads in dr Bergs videos? That did not used to be the case
Hey doc, could you comment on the quality of bacon on healthy keto? I understand the macros are in line, but what about the preservatives and nitrites, the pig's diet and other harmful chemicals? curious why you'd recommend it, and how much. Talon Fitness puts bacon in the C tier of proteins.
As with all meat will depend upon what the pig was fed and any life-long medication, talk with the farmer.
5:28 I know I shouldn't but "moon face" along with the way you said it had me burst out laughing.
Thank you Dr.berg for your kindness to share golden points
Very glad to be of help.
Dr.Berg you make super video's and the input what we get is very knowledgeable. Please do a full video on Kids 8-16... what to eat and not .
who are doing sports.. Eating carbs, suger, drinking sugary drinks etc... how it affects in the long run to the kids health.
thanks....
Under 25 yrs the needs are different from over-fat-adults, focus on no sugar and seed-oils.
God bless you Dr.Berg 🙏 You are extremely generous providing all this information to the world ❤ You do an incredible job breaking everything thing down! I'm sharing your videos to family and friends. You sir, are saving my life!
Thanks for great video i noticed you mentioned Prednisone, i have ocular myasthenia gravis and I take about 5mg but increeses sometimes when eye has double vision is there anything I can do to help? thanks in advance
Excellent information.
If I didn't get a headache or dizziness, I would eat just one meal.
It's always a good idea to work your way up to OMAD.
Thank you Dr Berg for all the indications!
You gave such valuable information in the most simple terms. You are great. I am so happy listening to you. Lots of love to you dr. Berg.
No problem. Glad you share this video. Take care.
This was enormously helpful and encouraging.😊Thank you Dr Berg
You're very welcome! I'm delighted to hear that I helped you. Take care!
Seed oils... so should I avoid putting ground flaxseed in a smoothie? I have been thinking ALA is good, even if it's not as good as EPA and DHA.
Ground flax seed is not a seed oil. You should be fine with Flax seed and chia I think, at least according to Dr. Sten Ekberg here on TH-cam
Hi Dr Berg...once again...with such simplicity...a powerful presentation...no phaffing around just a simple as Simon video..😊
Thank you for this useful information

Great content & presentation .
..AGAIN .... Kind Regards & Thanks Australia 🇦🇺
Dr Berg can you please clarify if less than 50g carbs is net carbs or total carbs? Are you including carbs from veggies? Thank you. All of this is very helpful and I’m learning a lot
How to know which hormone is playing the role in depositing fat, blood check?
New to this channel and loving it.
Struggling to find reliable info online for fat loss when having Type 1 diabetes since our body cannot produce insulin and we rely on artificial insulin/pump. Any chance you could produce a video on that topic?
❤Thank you so much Doctor Berg. Your information is always useful and great advice
You're very welcome!
3:30 Do you also mean organic cold pressed olive oil in dark bottle?
No Oliver oil is good oil
Thanks for refer to this vlog this ,I found all my answers clear cut here thanks❤
Most welcome! Very glad the information is clear. Lots more videos you can watch on the channel. Enjoy!
Thank you for sharing, Dr. Berg. I am in remission from Addison's disease. 12 years of steroids, I gained a lot of weight, something I never had to deal with before. It's been 11 months now. Thanks to the cortisol reduction, I have finally started to lose weight. I'm still struggling with some belly fat. I also have MCAS/EDS/POTS and I battle vitamin deficiencies. I really appreciate your vitamin and supplement information. Going to try all of these suggestions, I have been doing a few, but I have not giving it my all. What you said about the body taking 24 hours to recover from eating bad carbs or foods really resonated with me. I'll definitely be reminding myself that the next time I have the urge to eat some sugar.
Thank you so much again.
I know someone with EDS. Is there a good support group that you know of for her?
Also blue lights . Go to the subn first thing in the morning .the circadian rhythm is the master key
4:36 Available in 1965, Dr. Berg that sure is an old book. Dr. Berg, almost 60 yr old book, what was the reason for using an old book?
Dr. Elizabeth Bright MD has her patients do 80% fat diet. She also has protein what would be considered low. Hormones need fat and cholesterol to be made and moved in the body. This is her initial 30+ day protocol.
Dr, as far as I know if we want to build muscle in gym by doing weight training, overall intake of Calories per day should be higher than that we burn. I just wonder whether 50g of carb per day is enough if we want to build muscle
You need protein to build muscle
@@KeeKeeSoto agree.
One point of correction here Dr. Berg is when you say "moderate" protein...people can confuse that with limit your meat eating, I was keto for a couple of years and switched to carnivore to experiment to see if I would do better or worse or the same and after several months of carnivore, I not only feel as great as I did on keto I would say I did even a little better when it comes to energy and muscle building on carnivore and I eat 90% animal based products with a 70% meat 30% fat ratio. So without understanding exactly what you meant by "moderate" meat, I thought it was important to throw my personal experience with MOSTLY protein with fat to make up for the lack of fiber in plant based products, stools have never been better as well being carnivore!
Dr❤

Dr Berg, thank you so much for your help. Could please create video about plastics and how to detox our body from it?
would you do a video on the best multi vitamin or the worst and compare! That would be great!
Already happened: www.youtube.com/@Drberg/search?query=%20multi%20vitamin
Is there a worry about exercise with the Berberine? Do B vitamins need to be taken together? B1 alright what about niacinamide I think it’s b3? When to take all these
What time of day for the berberine? Thank you
So should one stop HRT to reduce estrogen?
Was 255 on Christmas (2023) down to 235 because of Dr. Bergs advice/supplements. Have more work to go, but thank you Dr. Berg
Well done keep going .
What did you follow?
Are soybeans and tofu good or bad while I'm in menopause? 49 year old female, perimenopause.
Soooo like Dr Berg, he’s very sweet of giving me the right way to be healthy!
HOw does leptin / leptin resistance fit into the fat burning equation? How do I manage the desire to overeat if my leptin keeps signaling eat, eat, eat? How do i get that signal under control?
Solution:
fasting
Apple cinagar in water
Berberine
Vitamine B1 abs vitamine D
Sprint
Good sleeping
Doc pls give a meal plan for 20gm carb. Because whatever we eat it can't go to 20 gm
One correction - Gatorade doesn't even have much glucose anymore - it'a mostly fructose, which is even worse! Gatorade used to not taste as good in the 1990s because it was only sweetened with glucose. You're missing a huge part of biochemistry which is the difference between fructose and glucose metabolism
Thank you for all the information you share ! Regarding estrogen dominance, how does estrogen dominance block fat loss?
Hi, love all your videos! There was one thing in this video that confused me, which was that we should be lowering oestrogen. I thought women going through menopause had lower oestrogen, and that’s why they put on weight, especially around their belly. It seems to be the opposite message???
What are the alternatives to seed oil? What can i cook in?
Hi there. Please see my recommended oils here: th-cam.com/video/g35hiy1o26I/w-d-xo.html
I have one question women going through perimenopause will have decrease estregon but high insulin so they would need to increase their estrogen ?
After reaching the desired weight, how does one keep up with fasting so no further weight is reduced but to remain healthy always.
Just adjust your diet to match your needs and keep on exercises.
But only for as long as you wish to be healthy.
Your videos are worth watching and applying of course. I have hemifacial spasm which is creating a problem. I am taking tegral regularly but still it's not over. Please help me
What would be a decent amount of protein? How many grams per kg?
Dr Berg many thanks, this video as well the others provide excellent advice.
You're welcome! Glad you found it helpful.
Happy that you found it useful!
Hi and thank you for helping us to develop a healthy mindset.😊❤
Ama do a no carb no sugar days when I don’t train
Btw how much AppleCider vinegar should I take a day
This is just what I needed . Thanks Dr.Berg
That's great to hear!
