Sup doc? I've been looking for some of these products in 🇳🇱 Holland supermarkets only carry Stevie, aspartame and something called Candarel. I was thinking about maybe a hippie vegan shop next. Any suggestions? Next I'll be shopping online I guess.
I find it hard to believe that most people commenting here are concerned about the husband wife dynamic. I'm concerned about how to introduce some level of sweetness back into my life after dropping sugar altogether. Thank you Dr. Berg and beautiful wife.
@@zelmiracholevova184 Actually if she's going to be in video then she at least deserves some attention --- or should she just be a "prop" for the Doctor?!
I agree that the title and subject are important but the dynamics between the 2 is distracting I don't like it. He needs to stay by himself with a whiteboard.
I was just thinking about this today. I love how he gives us the medical info while she goes straight to the practical stuff, like how to use it for baking, taste, price, etc. I felt the combine approach made it more realistic for the average human haha. Thanks for the info and the fun :)
So, Mrs.Berg is the woman behind Dr Berg's success. So, wonderful and beautiful. Strong and not afraid to draw insights from a different dimension, I'm sure she adds so much value. Stay blessed both of you!
I had to smile. He is totally deep into health and nutrition and she doesent care about it as far as it cooks good, tastes good and does not give bloathings. :)) You can see him how he tries to correct some things she is talking about but wants to stay polite. :))
karen berg ... yeah.... she is a total kitchen - sweets - cooking - reciepie oriented woman without any clue about basic LCHF lifestyle, not even mention about keto. ( He: "... low glycemic index" , She: " What does that mean??" :))) ... OMG! Basics! )
have to chime in here. it appeared to me that she was willing to ask a question that she already knew the answer to, so that others with the same question, could get the data. i call that being generous.
I'M THANKFUL DR. BERG THAT YOU TOLD ME ABOUT THE DANGERS TO MY DOGS!! Not at all a "downer." A downer would be me not knowing, baking something with Xylitol, and giving a bunch to my dog!! Or he just gets into the bag. But also to know how much was helpful as well. Please continue to point stuff like that out.
Thank you for the information on dogs and cats with the Xylitol consumption. It's not a downer at all. My dog would reach even the smallest scraps of cookies and this is very important for us dog owners. Thank you Dr.Berg
I love this video with your wife, it's a good change, you can see the couple's compatibility, the harmony, the love. It makes us see you more as a human and a more down to earth human being. Thank you for all your videos!!! Wish you more and more success!!!
harmony? are you beeing sarcastic? I had plenty of laughs looking at there body lenguage. I think his knowlegde is coming from the books and hers is superfitial. it was fun to watch.
+ConstructiveMinds100 lol i was thinking the samething they looked awkward, not loving at all. not trying to be mean towards her but she is like someone that is trying to act like they know something but know nothing at all. to compensate for this lack of knowledge a person tends to be bossy and opinionated. you see how she put that nasty comment at the end "in his opinion" how was that loving or supportive? i notice most women like this because of the dynamic of him seeming weak. hope he does not do many more of these
its an odd video in that she is speaking from a cooking/baking point of view, and he is speaking about health and detriment point of view. They should be split up as its very confusing. Im wanting more the health point of view and could care less how it cooks. Other people might feel different. Should be split up
Dr. Berg is doing so many now by himself too. Check them all out. She adds some spice and yet his view, with being more on the health side, gets through to me enough.
Dr. Berg, you are so patient with the woman. You work well with her. She's just being a true opinionated woman, which becomes quite informative. Kudos to your patience. God bless you.
As I was watching it I toggled between laughing, smh and frustration. It's funny how they each had to have the item in their hand to talk about it and kept snatching it away from the other. I don't think I like them together:(
You guys are cute. I can tell you're both really wanting to help in different ways. I had fun watching. Your wife is beautiful by the way!! Both of you guys look very healthy & young! Might want to make a more "dr Eric berg and wife at home" all of this is so helpful. But its fun to see your guys personalities! :)
The two of you are just the best!!! You are my go to… to live healthier!!! I don’t TRUST anyone else!!! Love you!!! Thank you. New year… new goals. You help me get there!!!
She is like: No No No its my turn to talk. No I'm right. (No Knowledge just talk) He is like: Can you just shut the f** up and stop distracting me 😁😁😁 This dude is so patient.
Before I started keto few month ago, I quit eating sugar and minimized sugar containing products for almost ten years, and I reach the state where I wasnt craving anything sweet at all. Never used any sugar substitutes! Now with keto diet I've started using them, as some of the recipes call for it... And I am back in the gutter, Craving sugar and everything sweet! I'm working on consuming more greens and doing the keto right, but I think I will reduce the use of sugar substitutes as much as possible, as my taste receptors remembered the taste of it and now they're mad at me for hiding it from them all these years and craving sugar with all the back dates... Thank you for all the life saving information Dr Berg and Karen.
Awesome video. Love how you guys both break it down. Berg is all nerdy and technical, which I love, and she’s plain spoken, down to earth, and gives real world examples for use, which I also love. Nice video!
please read the Stevia In the Raw ingredients list. if it's like it used to be, the first ingredient is Maltodextrin (glycemic index of 130)and that is why i threw my bag OUT
I have been using vitafiber, it's all natural and not as sweet as regular sugar, but it's from plant fiber. I use both the powder n syrup. no funny after taste. check it out.
Honey is full of carbs, and very high on the glycemic index. Dr. Berg is all about the ketogenic diet, which is very low carb, so it is not an allowed sweetener on the keto diet.
I bought it yesterday, had it in a cup before bed and after drinking it, I felt it was wrong for my body; I felt “off”. My Keto test strip confirmed my suspicion. It’s going in the garbage.
Hi guys. PLEASE READ THIS! Someone on my channel alerted me to your video which shows Stevia in The Raw as one of your stevia options. As I value all trying to keep it Keto, I had to let you know that particular product contains maltodextrin, an ingredient which has a higher glycemic index than sugar! They do that to make the Stevia In The Raw a 1:1 substitute for sugar. I made a video on this product which I'll link in my next comment. All said with humility and as a friend in keto. The Keto King
Ty Budd Hi Ty. So you can get pure Stevia (mixed with nothing) but Stevia is very sweet, so you'll be using just a tiny amount of it in a recipe - You can find liquid Stevia drops which is like that. They often mix Stevia with a sugar alcohol such as erythritol. This is great because erythritol, like Stevia has no effect on your blood sugar levels. Plus, it becomes closer to a 1:1 substitute for sugar. The key is to read the ingredient list! I personally use either erythritol or xylitol.
I grow Stevia in my garden then dry and crush the leaves. Perfect in cooking to add sweetness, but doesn't devolve and can leave a green colour. But is a great go to.
So glad you talked about xylitol being toxic to dogs! We have 2 dogs and my husband loves to give them bits of his food. A few months ago, I heard about the fact that xylitol can kill a dog, researched it and decided to get it out of my house. I worry my husband (or I) won't remember what food it might be in and feed it to them. I am a stevia user, and as you say, read the labels, because stevia can have additives that you don't want.
Haha I loved this video! It’s fun to see how they interact while sharing their thoughts, preferences, and experiences. It was great to watch Dr Berg be ok with taking a step back from his usual video flow so she could share important talking points too. You guys are great!! ❤
I learned first hand that Stevia can cause temporary infertility. My husband and I had been trying to conceive for several months (we already had children too) and had 2 suspected early losses and I prayed for an answer and I realized I should try cutting out stevia so I did. Sure enough, within weeks I was expecting and had a healthy pregnancy. I did some minimal research on stevia and found there have actually been studies in the past on stevia as a natural birth control method. Just wanted to share that for anyone that might need that info! Also makes me wonder if it’s really safe if it’s effecting ovulation or menstruation?
Its also great as a laxative. My man can't have the artificial stuff, because it causes him to have migraines, or a mood swing issue. So we are both sticking with sugar.
My wife who is Cantonese buys monk fruit dried and packaged at a local Asian market. It is actually really darn cheap when bought that way. She makes a sweet soup by cooking the fruit in the soup with all the rest of the good stuff. I have often thought that you could cook it in clear water and have a cheap healthy liquid sugar. It really tastes great.
Dr. Berg has the patience of Job. She should have given him the same respect he gave her and allowed him to finish his opinion on each product. I've been trusting Dr. Eric Berg for years and have had great success, her opinion is ok but I'm sticking with him.
Thanks for the nice video. It was informative and fun to watch the life of real husband and wife. Natural video with no artificial drama. Kudos to both of you.
Awww. He looks at her so lovingly. There's so much adoration in his eyes. It was so funny when she said: Are you dissing my enzymes. Hahaha. I love you guys!!
His wife was speaking more from a baking perspective whereas he was speaking more from a nutritional, biological and physiological perspective. He is also a more physically active individual..... walking, cycling and working out for muscle tone! This is one of the Doctoral degrees that he holds. He is a much more patient individual that she is.
I stopped using sugar in the 70's after reading Sugar Blues. I don't miss it at all. I will on rare occasions eat a sweet fruit. My coffee, tea, lemon and lime water, no sugar or sweeteners. Your taste buds get used to everything. I only use Celtic or Himalayan salt, what a difference.
john smith ..... it actually has to do with the fiber as you would eat the fruit thousands of years ago when you juice it you don't get any of the fiber. The fiber helps the body slow the absorption of the fructose in the fruit. .. thereby making it a better option and less harsh and spiking the insulin. eat the fruit with the fiber the juice alone is too high in fructose
This comment is way too late, but it's the first time I've seen both you beautiful folk together. It's a wonderful match of different kinds of knowledge. The dear lady reminds me so much of my wife, it was just precious to watch. Thanks.
I appreciate and love your wife being a part of the segment. I loved her honesty. She didn’t just agree with all of your choices. I didn’t see frustration, just a difference in choices. Loved it. She’s very attractive as well.
You know, I really appreciate the differing opinions on this. The truth is, we are all different, and what works for one wont for the other. This is actually really helpful to get the different viewpoints on some of these options, to help us see where todo comparisons. And it’s nice to see you both enjoying working together! (I just love happy couples!)
I tried Just Like Sugar and it absolutely wrecked my GI tract! Even in super small amounts. I like Xylitol, but my favorite is ZenSweet (not mentioned). So good! It's not cooling, and doesn't upset my stomach. Julian Bakery Monk Fruit Powder (not mentioned) is also a staple in my pantry. For most baked goods I use 1/4 cup ZenSweet (or Xylitol) and 1-2 tsp. Julian Bakery Monk Fruit Powder.
I love the two points of view, the science side vs the end user opinions. Would have been nice to see a link to her videos. I love the sound of her voice and she seems pretty chill and fun.
Erythritol is my go to for tea and coffee. Adding a little molasses may be able to mimic the flavor of Sugar really well. Xylitol tastes good but raises my blood sugar level as if I've eaten white sugar. Both of them will make your intestines move quicker than anticipated
I appreciate Dr Berg talking about what is dangerous to dogs. One of my dogs got into dark chocolate years ago thankfully we got her to the vet in time. I don’t think information like that should be rushed over. It’s important for people with fur babies to know this.
Thanks for the warning re dogs and xylitol. I didn’t know it is deadly to dogs. Definitely will keep the cookies away from the dog. Good to know as many dogs snack on whatever is within reach.
The point of this video is that there are big differences between different sweeteners just like there are differences between the personalities of Dr. Berg and his wife:)
Lol😂😂 Because she is a trip!!! Control freak. Can't stand women like that. Want to control the man.... P.s. She acts just like my Ex-wife...... P.s. Is that his wife?? Lol
I used coconut sugar tonight in a homemade chocolate recipe. My husband (not on keto) said the chocolate was super bitter, but it tasted amazing to me. I'll stick no sugar except when it comes to making my chocolate. I've adjusted to the bitterness pretty well, apparently. Even my coffee has nothing but coconut cream and butter in it and it tastes awesome to me.
Leeebs I disagree. She's pretty annoying, rude and disrespectful. She cut him off the whole video to add pointless stuff to whatever was being said. Their chemistry was pretty awful, i dont know what you are talking about.
Leeebs I agree will you. I prefer him alone. She seems like a typical arrogant American female. I thought she was a bit domineering toward her man who is obviously the one building their empire.
Don't listen to these posters who think there's some underlying "anger" here. This is a normal married couple. And some people just don't know a nice guy when they see one. Great job, you two! I learned a bunch!
He's not interacting with her at all.. it's like why you're making the video together if he's not interacting .. video should start with an introduction of his wife ..it should be like he gives medical info and he introduces her to tell about cooking usage.
10-31-2019....I had tried everything in your video except Xylitol,so I tried it on your approval,and I liked.This will be my sweetener going forward.Thank you.!!!
Nice video.. And both compliment each other.. Behind the knowledgeable doctor there is an angel !! Perfect chemistry Perfect knowledge Perfect video.. As always this video is knowledgeable ! Good luck to both! Thankyou for this upload Regards
This is really helpful and practical. This is just the kind of information I was looking for! Really appreciate the wife / cook’s opinions; wish she could have talked more. 😊
@@burrbentine oh you're not married? No wonder you're edgy! Relax, they complement each other and they did pass on their message right! Life can't be perfect or conform to your standards. I like them and I like you too.
SHE IS LIKE MEGHAN MERKLE NR2 ANNOYING but better than MEGHAN who is mafia boy and BELIEVE EVERYONE WILL BELIEVE HE IS PREGNANT and laugh his head of ( that has been filmed ) over US ALL LIKE WE BELIEVED THAT MAFIA of the BARBARA WINDSORS SON AS HE IS
When growing up I live with my grandparents.. My grandfather was a diabetic and he used saccharin for his sweetener ( the liquid kind) he taught me to use it as well... Is saccharin ok on keto? I now use Sweet and Low (not baking ) with sweetening my whipped heavy cream, to make cinnamon toast, on berries...
Swerve and Monkfruit for taste and no intestinal distress. As you know Karen, they are pricey. I like the husband and wife dynamic. It's complimentary. Refreshing to get away from affirmative head nodding by either on any point. It's the practical wife discussing topics with the medical facts Doc. Thanks for NOT being like an infomercial couple.
Dr. Berg, it was good to see you presenting this with your wife. You guys look like a great couple and I thank you both for your time and help. Don't listen to the haters!
i like it in drinks, but not in baking it gives a cold mild metallic alcohol like aftertaste i have had to chuck out a cake because it didnt taste sweet but had that aftertaste and i was deciding i should try another sweetner, maybe monk fruit
Bruceann Yellowega Truvia says it has in it stevia leaf extract, erythritol and other natural flavors (but they don’t say what they are). It’s made by the Coca Cola company. It has been said it may include aluminum and xylitol as part of their natural ingredients.
I would love a video on the long term effects of these sugar substitutes because we all know what happened to people eating sweet and low. Also, I’m surprised you didn’t mention to be careful about additives in the in ingredient list, some are awful. Thank you both however, I follow your videos and they have helped me so much!
I really appreciated this video. Dr. Berg, you by yourself are very easy to listen to and I've shared your videos with several friends and family. But put your wife next to you, and it's even better! Lol. Maybe because I'm female, but you two are such great communicators and pleasant to be around (thru video of course). I pray your continued study of health keeps on blessing millions as they learn and grow from your caring, honest and humble sharing. Grace and peace to you.
I know who wears the trousers in this marriage ! Really enjoyed this video, loved the banter between this couple. Real and genuine. I thought brown sugar was a better alternative. Great info guys 😍😍😍😍

So, 6yrs later can we get an update? What about Swerve? I’ve been seeing people use it in a lot of recipes.
What about coconut sugar?
@@shannondent7052 Swerve is my favorite, dont know if its good keto or not- great suggestion for video on this!
Is there a video on alluse sugar substitute?

I am sure that Karen asked the question about glycemic index for the benefit of those watching who do not know. The lady knows her stuff!
I think all the options shown are low glycemic so she was more interested in the taste and digestion of the items shown. She does know nutrition.
and does not kill dogs
have to chime in here. it appeared to me that she was willing to ask a question that she already knew the answer to, so that others with the same question, could get the data. i call that being generous.
I like that Mrs. berg gives her input about cooking with sweeteners in comparison to Dr. Berg speaking more about health effects. 👍

Just wanted to share that for anyone that might need that info! Also makes me wonder if it’s really safe if it’s effecting ovulation or menstruation?
Its also great as a laxative. My man can't have the artificial stuff, because it causes him to have migraines, or a mood swing issue. So we are both sticking with sugar.
Thank you for sharing!
This is great! I will use more of it!!
My wife who is Cantonese buys monk fruit dried and packaged at a local Asian market. It is actually really darn cheap when bought that way. She makes a sweet soup by cooking the fruit in the soup with all the rest of the good stuff. I have often thought that you could cook it in clear water and have a cheap healthy liquid sugar. It really tastes great.

1 honey
2 coconut sugar
3 stevia
4 cocoa drink
5 chocolate dark 70% ...

👋
we need sweetness
but in small amounts
Chinese usually drink it directly as supplement health..especially for sore throat..just boil it to water and drink it after cool..
Thx, that's very helpful 👍
Dr. Berg has the patience of Job. She should have given him the same respect he gave her and allowed him to finish his opinion on each product. I've been trusting Dr. Eric Berg for years and have had great success, her opinion is ok but I'm sticking with him.
Thanks for the nice video. It was informative and fun to watch the life of real husband and wife. Natural video with no artificial drama. Kudos to both of you.
Awww. He looks at her so lovingly. There's so much adoration in his eyes.
It was so funny when she said: Are you dissing my enzymes. Hahaha. I love you guys!!
I love the hood over your stove! So pretty! Thanks for all the great information you share...it is truly invaluable!
Why is she cutting him off?? I really wanted to hear more about xylitol...!!
The name sounds like a brand of gasoline
Me too!
His wife was speaking more from a baking perspective whereas he was speaking more from a nutritional, biological and physiological perspective. He is also a more physically active individual..... walking, cycling and working out for muscle tone! This is one of the Doctoral degrees that he holds. He is a much more patient individual that she is.
Me too, I dont like her personality at all. Dr. Berg by himself is much better to watch and listen to.
I really wanted to also 🥺
I stopped using sugar in the 70's after reading Sugar Blues. I don't miss it at all. I will on rare occasions eat a sweet fruit. My coffee, tea, lemon and lime water, no sugar or sweeteners. Your taste buds get used to everything. I only use Celtic or Himalayan salt, what a difference.
zelen plav I read that book just last year. Pretty darn good. 40 years old also.
i also stopped but only for 2 weeks and boy do i feel the difference.
what do you recommend for alternatives? honey? stevia?
john smith it has to do with the insuline and how fructose affect some people. There is people that aren't affected by the index of glysemia.
john smith ..... it actually has to do with the fiber as you would eat the fruit thousands of years ago when you juice it you don't get any of the fiber. The fiber helps the body slow the absorption of the fructose in the fruit. .. thereby making it a better option and less harsh and spiking the insulin. eat the fruit with the fiber the juice alone is too high in fructose
This comment is way too late, but it's the first time I've seen both you beautiful folk together. It's a wonderful match of different kinds of knowledge. The dear lady reminds me so much of my wife, it was just precious to watch. Thanks.
This one is funny. That look Dr Berg gives every time Karen interrupts.
I love their banter and dynamics 😂
I’ll become a god when l reach Dr Berg’s level of patience
Lol. 😂
Hahaha
We all have those pains we cherish... 😂
😆
Funny. I thought SHE was the patient one! Most of what she said was about practical uses and anticipating audience questions.
I appreciate and love your wife being a part of the segment. I loved her honesty. She didn’t just agree with all of your choices. I didn’t see frustration, just a difference in choices. Loved it. She’s very attractive as well.
You know, I really appreciate the differing opinions on this. The truth is, we are all different, and what works for one wont for the other. This is actually really helpful to get the different viewpoints on some of these options, to help us see where todo comparisons.
And it’s nice to see you both enjoying working together! (I just love happy couples!)
Nonsense. shes giving opinions on what she thinks TASTES better. He's giving FACTS about what is healthier. Major difference
I tried Just Like Sugar and it absolutely wrecked my GI tract! Even in super small amounts. I like Xylitol, but my favorite is ZenSweet (not mentioned). So good! It's not cooling, and doesn't upset my stomach. Julian Bakery Monk Fruit Powder (not mentioned) is also a staple in my pantry. For most baked goods I use 1/4 cup ZenSweet (or Xylitol) and 1-2 tsp. Julian Bakery Monk Fruit Powder.
Dr. Berg is classy and full of grace.
I love the two points of view, the science side vs the end user opinions. Would have been nice to see a link to her videos. I love the sound of her voice and she seems pretty chill and fun.
Your wife is so authentic and so normal, I can easily relate to her. She should do more videos, I love her :)
Me too
Erythritol is my go to for tea and coffee. Adding a little molasses may be able to mimic the flavor of Sugar really well. Xylitol tastes good but raises my blood sugar level as if I've eaten white sugar. Both of them will make your intestines move quicker than anticipated
thanks, xylitol make my weight not loosing😢
Just a tip. Please let the doctor finish speaking before jumping in. !!
yes, this is distracting and annoying
The problem might be that it is hard to find a moment when the doctor does not speak. :-) Anyway, I like the two of them.
Dr. Berg please redo a video on this topic for us to better understand. Thanks
I actually watched more than once because of your dynamics. Makes life fun to explore things this way.
Thank you two sooo much! You have helped me with so much in my daily health. I have learned so much and I have been seeing results with your advice!
I love the health standpoint of cooking. The two go hand in hand. Thank you both!
I want to find someone who will look at me the way Dr. Eric looks at his wife.
It's true that his wife is annoying cutting him off constantly.
But he still loves her.
You can see it in the way he looks at her.
Look how he looks at her...he looks like he is really annoyed with her but putting a fake smile on his face to not embarrass himself or her.
yesssss he is so in love
She is TOO domineering for my liking. Almost couldnt let him talk smh.
no you dont
At 4:25 though. Lol Dr. Berg thinkin, “Stop interrupting me woman!”
🤣 Thank God
That's not the "attitude"
😂🤣
I appreciate Dr Berg talking about what is dangerous to dogs. One of my dogs got into dark chocolate years ago thankfully we got her to the vet in time. I don’t think information like that should be rushed over. It’s important for people with fur babies to know this.
Dr Berg I love your peaceful calm spirit… she all over the place
I love your rapport, it makes the video fun. Much of these substitutes are not on the shelves in Eastern Europe, but I still learn from this. Thanks.
Thanks for the warning re dogs and xylitol. I didn’t know it is deadly to dogs. Definitely will keep the cookies away from the dog. Good to know as many dogs snack on whatever is within reach.
I read it elsewhere xylitol can push blood sugar to dangerous low in dogs.
She really keeps on talking while Dr. Berg is talking. What a gentleman. Thats why they click. Opposite really attracts.
Love when Dr. Berg takes over.. nice voice, to the point... I'm sorry, but she keeps interrupting. Sorry 🙈...
I agree, she adds nothing to the video; but takes away a lot. Sorry Mrs. Berg.
The point of this video is that there are big differences between different sweeteners just like there are differences between the personalities of Dr. Berg and his wife:)
I think they are good for each other. I like her personality and think she is adorable
Dr. Berg knows everything including when to bite his tongue 😛
Duh,he’s a married man 😂
every happily married man knows 😂😂
Allulose? Have you tried this one? It is very promising to KETO! 🤷
Lol😂😂
Because she is a trip!!!
Control freak.
Can't stand women like that.
Want to control the man....
P.s.
She acts just like my Ex-wife......
P.s.
Is that his wife??
Lol
@@anthonyshaw8698 she's desperate interrupting all the time have u seen that ? OMG so disgusting 🤮
I love it when the two of you do a video,two different views and honesty.I also love all the recipes great job DrB and Mrs B.
Karen, we love you and you make a great couple with docter berg, but you interrupt him a lot and it just does not look good
I used coconut sugar tonight in a homemade chocolate recipe. My husband (not on keto) said the chocolate was super bitter, but it tasted amazing to me. I'll stick no sugar except when it comes to making my chocolate. I've adjusted to the bitterness pretty well, apparently. Even my coffee has nothing but coconut cream and butter in it and it tastes awesome to me.
I liked Karen before. Now that I know she's frugal, I like her more! Thanks for all the videos!!!
Donna Hamstra
I agree. Being frugal rocks!
This is so informative and helpful since I didn't know there were plenty of different options for sugar substitutes. Thank you so much, Dr Berg.
I watch Dr berg for his expert opinion this seem more like a talk show and was all over the place. Thanks anyway.
JimG he's technical and she's practical. Perfect combo!
Ruffy Grace not really- she’s just mean
He’s not an expert. He’s a spine doctor. Not a nutritionist, not a md. Just some jamoke off the street essentially
Johnathan DeLeonlopez righttt!! Some people act like they’re in a cult
She is hilarious and a true asset to you Dr. Berg
Leeebs I disagree. She's pretty annoying, rude and disrespectful. She cut him off the whole video to add pointless stuff to whatever was being said. Their chemistry was pretty awful, i dont know what you are talking about.
yep she is asset, looks like they have lot of fun together,
Rachna888 haha fun? They clashed a lot. If thats fun to you I guess I feel bad for your husband...
Leeebs I agree will you. I prefer him alone. She seems like a typical arrogant American female. I thought she was a bit domineering toward her man who is obviously the one building their empire.
bot.
Don't listen to these posters who think there's some underlying "anger" here. This is a normal married couple. And some people just don't know a nice guy when they see one.
Great job, you two! I learned a bunch!
Nice Video...your wife is such a joy!
ESTHER QUEEN
You are right. She is a joy. I love their videos together. They are funny and informative, which helps stick in by brain. : - )
I love how much she interrupts and he just deals in under lying anger 😂
U can he's numb to it now lol
He’s a great husband! That’s what he’s supposed to do 😉
Toxic.
He's not interacting with her at all.. it's like why you're making the video together if he's not interacting .. video should start with an introduction of his wife ..it should be like he gives medical info and he introduces her to tell about cooking usage.
I learned a lot but "who's in the lead"? Very hard to follow, I plan to watch a more recent video, maybe they got better at working together!😊
10-31-2019....I had tried everything in your video except Xylitol,so I tried it on your approval,and I liked.This will be my sweetener going forward.Thank you.!!!
Logan Micheals xylitol does increase blood sugar levels in some people . Be careful.
Nice video..
And both compliment each other..
Behind the knowledgeable doctor there is an angel !!
Perfect chemistry
Perfect knowledge
Perfect video..
As always this video is knowledgeable !
Good luck to both!
Thankyou for this upload
Regards
Can you post a list of the sweeteners please
This is really helpful and practical. This is just the kind of information I was looking for! Really appreciate the wife / cook’s opinions; wish she could have talked more. 😊
Dr Berg I like when you do your own video.
he is very patient with her... i would go nuts lol
They're not pretending to be perfect. He can be a bit boring and technical, she complements him.
@@burrbentine put it on your own wife.
I'm not stupid enough to get married. Maybe she should to do her own thing instead of jumping on her man's coat tails.
@@burrbentine oh you're not married? No wonder you're edgy! Relax, they complement each other and they did pass on their message right! Life can't be perfect or conform to your standards. I like them and I like you too.
SHE IS LIKE MEGHAN MERKLE NR2 ANNOYING but better than MEGHAN who is mafia boy and BELIEVE EVERYONE WILL BELIEVE HE IS PREGNANT and laugh his head of ( that has been filmed ) over US ALL LIKE WE BELIEVED THAT MAFIA of the BARBARA WINDSORS SON AS HE IS
Nice to see Dr Berg's wife. She looks so young and vibrant. This keto thing has real benefits
Dr. B is the real thing guys!
Thank you both for been so open and sharing! And for giving good choices.. Hugs & sunshine ☀ N
When growing up I live with my grandparents.. My grandfather was a diabetic and he used saccharin for his sweetener ( the liquid kind) he taught me to use it as well... Is saccharin ok on keto? I now use Sweet and Low (not baking ) with sweetening my whipped heavy cream, to make cinnamon toast, on berries...
I'd like to have them revisit this topic to include Boca Sweet, Allulose and any other new things I'm not aware of.
stevia is not a herb from india. its originaly from paraguay southamerica
Swerve and Monkfruit for taste and no intestinal distress. As you know Karen, they are pricey.
I like the husband and wife dynamic. It's complimentary. Refreshing to get away from affirmative head nodding by either on any point. It's the practical wife discussing topics with the medical facts Doc. Thanks for NOT being like an infomercial couple.
When she mentioned she was a budget shopper she won my heart. 😻😻
Thank you both for all of the work and sharing what you have learned!!! You both seem just wonderful! Great job!
Dr. Berg, it was good to see you presenting this with your wife. You guys look like a great couple and I thank you both for your time and help. Don't listen to the haters!
For a lot of people Stevia is bitter and not sweet at all, I am one of them.
I mix it with erithrytol. That works and gives a bit of bulk. Go easy on the erithrytol though.
I hate Stevia
It’s genetic. No way around it
i like it in drinks, but not in baking
it gives a cold mild metallic alcohol like aftertaste
i have had to chuck out a cake because it didnt taste sweet but had that aftertaste and i was deciding i should try another sweetner, maybe monk fruit
I hate stevia!!
What about Truvia and coconut sugar? I love Truvia...
Bruceann Yellowega Truvia says it has in it stevia leaf extract, erythritol and other natural flavors (but they don’t say what they are). It’s made by the Coca Cola company. It has been said it may include aluminum and xylitol as part of their natural ingredients.
Thank you guys. It looks like you guys have fun together. Nice to see today:)
I would love a video on the long term effects of these sugar substitutes because we all know what happened to people eating sweet and low. Also, I’m surprised you didn’t mention to be careful about additives in the in ingredient list, some are awful. Thank you both however, I follow your videos and they have helped me so much!
I find it hard to believe that organic raw sugar cane is just as bad as refined white sugar...
Dr, "When your ketones are the only thing keeping him sane" , Berg

I really appreciated this video. Dr. Berg, you by yourself are very easy to listen to and I've shared your videos with several friends and family. But put your wife next to you, and it's even better! Lol. Maybe because I'm female, but you two are such great communicators and pleasant to be around (thru video of course). I pray your continued study of health keeps on blessing millions as they learn and grow from your caring, honest and humble sharing. Grace and peace to you.
I know who wears the trousers in this marriage ! Really enjoyed this video, loved the banter between this couple. Real and genuine. I thought brown sugar was a better alternative. Great info guys 😍😍😍😍
Dr. Berg sooo patient. You go girl! 😂
The way he looks at her when she is talking is sooo cute😍😍😍 like calmly and silently in love.
