I eat beets but not necessarily the leaves but I am going to definitely start. I ate about a head or half ahead of charred leaves almost every morning as well as an avocado with 2 to 4 eggs and quite often eat yams so this is know

But i started keto/if 5 years ago and have never felt better i locked on to mostly 3 channels for info ive learned so much about health/ foods /diet ect forever grateful on the path you have led me down thank you sir.
I am a person that doesn't believe hardly anything people say anymore. I like facts, studies, etc. Can you give me a link to the study or other reference that backs up your belief of: " or When you go from 300 carbs to less than 30 the RDA’s are no longer in effect" ? I am on the carnivore diet now and as a person with AFIB, I like to make sure I have my electrolytes. One and a half weeks into this diet and already had some cramps and PVC's. I had to start dosing with with supplements. After this video, I need to find bone broth, hardly any calories.
Carnivore has worked exceptionally well for me in terms of overall health. My energy levels have improved, including sleep, and it’s easy to go for very long periods of time without eating too. All the brain fog has disappeared and I feel a sense of calmness. Most Carnivores experience the same effects. I thought I would get bored on Carnivore, but I’m not at all. I actually still crave steak . I eat daily 5 eggs, steak (rib eye or Chuck eye steak), bone broth, and a couple of slices of aged cheddar cheese. I use Celtic sea salt, drink one cup of black coffee, and a small portion of organic sour kraut each day.
I believe your daily needed values of vitamins and nutrients go down when on carnivore possibly because you know longer are eating all the antinutrients and your body is not dealing with all the inflammation anymore. This would explain why those who have been on strict carnivore for many years dont get scurvy and have normal vit C levels. Ive been on Carnivore a few months now and my cramps at night have gone away.
Digesting and absorbing carbs body needs enzymes and more proteins n vitamins. Plus absorbtion of nutritients from plants is way lower than from meat n eggs
I do 2MAD Ketovore. Eat butter, bacon, beef and eggs only. I do have to supplement my electrolytes. Take a daily cocktail of Redman real salt, NoSalt for K, and MegaMag. Plus a B12 complex. I was suffering from low folic acid awhile back until i started the B12.
@amysue1616 half a teaspoon of real salt. Quarter teaspoon of no salt potassium. I've introduced a little honey every day to help me stay ahead of electrolytes so I'm not needing to supplement my electrolytes as often.
@@treythomas7647 honey has electrolytes? I’ve been drawn to honey lately and didn’t know why. I’ve been having killer lower back pains and just come to the conclusion it might be a potassium deficiency, since drinking a cup of half and half makes it go away.
@@iHeartAmySue no, the benefits of honey for me is to help stimulate enough insulin to prevent me from peeing everything out. Insulin is a much needed hormone in the body.
I have to make it known that low potassium ABSOLUTELY causes symptoms. I remember before they finally discovered my Hypokalemia, they swore my symptoms were from either pancreatitis, kidney stones, stomach paresis or abdominal hernia. Only after ruling that out they discovered it. At least (the least) once a day I would get a Charlie horse style pain right under either my left or right rib area that felt like someone sticking a hot metal rod through my abdomen. They said this type of abdominal cramp is seen at ER departments quite often in people with low potassium. It was horrific I assure you…. Just going on about you day then…BAM feels like something in you abdomen got stuck and twisted while on fire
I relate to this too! I’m going to look into the potassium. I removed sugar from my diet just drink warm lemon water and a savory meal meal to satisfy the pain went down 80%.
I’m literally in the hospital 3 days now for all those symptoms for them to tell me my potassium is crazy low. I even quit drinking and was still having that pancreatitis type pain. It was that too but also my potassium. I had Charlie horses in both my calf’s for two days. I’m back to normal now. Got crazy energy too.
I’m on the carnivore diet and just ordered my 6th Dr Berg electrolytes powder. This stuff tastes great, I add half a lemon in it to give it a lemonade flavor.
Glad you mentioned oxalates. They receive far too spotlight imo. Had a kidney stone at 26, 10% of adults have them and it’s on the rise with very little mention or consideration in most diets.
Ketovore here....90% carnivore 10% plant based for several months now and doing absolutely magnificent! From what I understand on carnivore is that ruminant 100% grass fed red meat contains ALL vitamins which explains why people thrive on carnivore. Also learned recently that there are 7 "ESSENTIAL" nutrients that are found in animal products that you can NOT get from plant based products....this finally explains why people can reach optimal health on carnivore and NOT on vegan which also tells me that if one can not achieve optimal health on vegan but can on carnivore then keto is just a diet in between, keto you can be pretty healthy because you are getting animal product with your veggies but it's looking more and more that a diverse microbiome is not as beneficial as believed by some, it's quite possible that if you are carnivore there is no need for a diversed microbiome for optimal health.....don't shoot the messenger, I'm just looking at what the evidence has shown on both sides. Love the information Dr. Berg!!! Glad to see you are completely open minded about this and not just in bed with the keto lifestyle!
any red meat does that, the only difference is the fat composition and some vitamin composition differences based on Cow's diet. You do NOT need any plant material in your diet whatsoever, it's in fact contra-indicated because of anti nutrients and general reduction in nutrient intake due to plants. They have natural defense mechanisms your body has to deal with, even AFTER cooking.
I know of monks in perfect health and state of mind and body, eating only a bit of greens and roots and bread from time to time. So I do think it is very individual. Our needs for calories and for animal products depend on our lifestyle I guess.
Hi dr. Berg. I was on keto last year for 5 months and lost weight, felt great, got stomach upset and was advised to take rice banana etc. Til I fell off the wagon, and got a lot of my weight back. Now, i decided to get started and got back on track, but shifted to carnivore. Clean carnivore. Today I had a strong americano, and hungarian sausage for breakfast, had palpitations after that very strong americano, ate beef belly for lunch, then around 4:30 at my shift, the doctor (i work at the hospital) checked my bp after we had a conversation about keto and carnivore, my bp was up 130/90. Normally i’m always 110-120/80. Im kinda worried. But i’ll stick to it right?
Potassium ions are spontaneously drawn into small pore spaces (i. e. into cells). Philippa Wiggins explored this behaviour in the context of porous silica gel. Maintaining excellent cellular redox to control the architecture of cells allows for the continued drawing of potassium into the locations in which it is required.
If we are carnivore and need 4700 mg of potassium, and only get approximately 100 mg/ ounce of meat or fish. How do we get enough? I also heard that potassium chloride is better for hydration than potassium citrate and I bought the powdered Berg electrolytes and that has citrate and not chloride version. I really need to know how to get enough of the correct potassium. Thank you!
A bowl of beans lentils plus a small boiled potato is necessary.. 25 pc calories need to come from nutrient dense veg foods for potassium , vit c , roughage,magnesium ,calcium
My potassium supplement has 99mg per serving. My multi vitamin has 0 mg. From what I've seen it seems rare in the vitamin/supplement world. Sports hydration electrolytes, including salt, work for me during the hot months. Thanks to all that mentioned cream of tartar.
@@mianlo2624 That seems to be the case. When I mentioned it to a pharmacist he said "maybe they want you to get it from us", meaning by prescription. I don't know. Higher mg. servings are out there. And right here at Dr. Bergs store, of which I am a customer.

I regulary use NoSalt in addition to Pink Himalayan or Redmond's Real Salt and/or Celtic Sea Salt and have done so for over one year; I also have used Cream of Tartar although only once or twice so far
I'm sorry I can't say other than I usually eat twice a day and use salt shaker .. comes out pretty fast; I mostly eat animal, but also usually have some greens (fresh OR frozen OR pickled) Cream of Tartar tastes a little different (not bad) but I don't notice anything different with NoSalt@@kreetisana9640
I started my Dr. Berg addiction when I realized he echoed what my grandma (born 1901) instilled in me waaaay back during Hippie times. Beet greens and liver 'n onions 3 times a week! And, she told me how to easily grow beet greens from store beets. Miss her😢
@@Fiene-Nix Yes liver can be good for you as its very nutrient dense, but don't over do it as it can cause copper poisoning - like once a week at the absolute most and probably less than that. If you think of the hundreds of pounds of meat you get from a cow vs. the few pounds of liver, its not something that we would have been able to consume regularly or in volume.
Check out Dr. Anthony Chaffee, Dr. Ken Berry and Dr. Shawn Baker discuss salt...if all you are eating is beef...you'll get plenty of potassium. We don't need tons of supplements when we're eating a species appropriate diet.
Love my salads, veggies and leafy greens and meats seasoned with spices and herbs like thyme, oregano or rosemary. Great content and beautiful thumbnail picture. Thanks, Dr Berg 💕
Thank you, this is not discussed enough in the carnivore community - I hit a wall with low potassium carnivore even eating high potassium foods, however I am also extremely lean, active and potentially lean mass hyper responder. The 2 together may have been the wall so to speak. Added back in potassium plants and salads.
I am omad and carnivore great benefits but occasional heart pupitations and skipping beats . Added 1.5 litres of whole milk totally fixed the problem, must of been the potassium.

Hello Dr. Berg, I have a question on the carnivore diet. Would a person with only one kidney be alright to take this diet on? The doctor told her she can’t have too much protein but she deals with extreme inflammation throughout her body. Thank you!

Hi Dr Berg, not sure if it is b/c of Keto n intermittent fasting, my blood tests shows low sodium at 130mmol/L . Do I need to do anything about it? The potassium level looks ok. However, do v need to supplement on potassium as I m also diagnosed of osteoporosis (T Score =-2.8) ?
I've started taking a quarter tsp of cream of tartar everyday to beef up my potassium. Cheap and effective supplement. Doesn't taste great but sparkling water with lemon it isn't too bad.
I have started with your Keto a couple of weeks ago and all going ok except I can't stomach Kale or large amounts of greens, so am considering the carnivore diet to see if that is better for me. I can't stand the smell of Kale even if it's in a smoothie. I'm not overly sensitive to most foods, not celiac and have been tested multiple times, no known allergies so can only assume my body just doesn't like Kale. I don't do well on heavy wholemeal anything either.
@drberg understand if you can't answer this but can you tell me why Valencia peanuts have less oxalates? My dad has kidney stone problems and I'm curious

I wish you would put out amongst your products, a potent potassium tablet, or pill or whatever. I would buy that. I think many people would. I know that your complaint against all the potassium suppliers is you basically get 100 units and you need more than that. Like 49 times that.. so Mr. Dr. Berg. You are the man we look to, to solve these problems.🧐🧐🧐 you can do it!! Go Daddyo😁
I love all your videos, so informative, but nobody mentioned for how long should I be on carnivore diet since i recently started to cure crohn's disease, but I do not want to loose weight, so when can I get back to normal diet or even keto or low carb diet? and what if I could not tolerate to be on carnivore what should I do? please advise..
So how much pottasium daily considered high to be a sodium potasium ratio 1 to 2.. In the past i remember u said ideal ratio sodium pottasium 1 to 3 or 4.
in carnivore diet potassium is not a problem if you are close to 2 lb of meat... the problem is magnesium because if you don't eat at least 3 lb you go into deficiency and the symptoms become noticeable over time... I only use 200-400mg magnesium per day
So far, I have to supplement magnesium and potassium while low carb. I do use Redmond’s real salt to taste, and I add Keto Chow minerals to my beverages throughout the day.
Does anyone know if there's a mineral or vitamin deficiency connected to sleepwalking? Or does anyone have any suggestions as to how to help sleepwalking or how not to sleepwalk?

Was hoping someone had some thoughts on this subject.
Hey Dr. Berg, on a ketogenic diet if one were to skip breakfast AND lunch but only eat dinner and a light snack at night would that be harmful in any way? Would you still get the benefits of a traditional IF schedule?
Dr. Berg I need your help urgently! Please! please! I'm dealing with severe epigastric pain. Did endoscopy and colonoscopy. GI said I have irritation and inflammation in antrum. My pain is so bad that I can't walk or do daily chores. I have pain when I walk. When I lay down or sit I have no pain. What can I do? Please help me!
We are starting carnivore from keto, I see potassium citrate helps keep kidney stones at bay, can you take too much? My mother had kidney stones really bad and I don't want them. My bloodwork is fine but I am trying to stop soda and lose 120 lbs, no meds other than Moringa, vit B complex, Vit D & K & Aleve for pains @ 58, I do have IBS & Haglunds on both heels which can be painful.
Curious as to why since we need so much potassium then why is the reccommended dosage on my bottle 99mg's a day? I'm strict carnivore and do intermittent fasting for 20 hours a day, how many 99mg pills is it safe for me to take a day? I do drink 2 cups od bone broth a day as well.

When you go from 300 carbs to less than 30 the RDA’s are no longer in effect.
exactly, your needs go way down when you're just eating mostly protein.
interestingly a lot of plants come with nutrients that help offset their negative effects. For example calcium in spinach, or vitamin c in potatoes
All you need to do is eat a date. That's why people break their Ramadan fasts with dates.
I am a person that doesn't believe hardly anything people say anymore. I like facts, studies, etc. Can you give me a link to the study or other reference that backs up your belief of: " or When you go from 300 carbs to less than 30 the RDA’s are no longer in effect" ? I am on the carnivore diet now and as a person with AFIB, I like to make sure I have my electrolytes. One and a half weeks into this diet and already had some cramps and PVC's. I had to start dosing with with supplements. After this video, I need to find bone broth, hardly any calories.
Thanks for recognizing the problems of antinutrients. I love eating carnivore.
No problem. Thanks for watching the video.
Carnivore has worked exceptionally well for me in terms of overall health.
My energy levels have improved, including sleep, and it’s easy to go for very long periods of time without eating too. All the brain fog has disappeared and I feel a sense of calmness. Most Carnivores experience the same effects.
I thought I would get bored on Carnivore, but I’m not at all. I actually still crave steak .
I eat daily 5 eggs, steak (rib eye or Chuck eye steak), bone broth, and a couple of slices of aged cheddar cheese. I use Celtic sea salt, drink one cup of black coffee, and a small portion of organic sour kraut each day.
What does all this have to do with the topic of potassium?
did you not read the title of this video? CARNIVORE DIET@@huitrecouture
How about your LDL, is ok ? High or normal
Where do u get your potassium.. from Celtics salt
Thanks for bringing awareness of all these wonderful information. I love listening to you. Stay blessed.
I believe your daily needed values of vitamins and nutrients go down when on carnivore possibly because you know longer are eating all the antinutrients and your body is not dealing with all the inflammation anymore. This would explain why those who have been on strict carnivore for many years dont get scurvy and have normal vit C levels. Ive been on Carnivore a few months now and my cramps at night have gone away.
Digesting and absorbing carbs body needs enzymes and more proteins n vitamins. Plus absorbtion of nutritients from plants is way lower than from meat n eggs
I do 2MAD Ketovore. Eat butter, bacon, beef and eggs only. I do have to supplement my electrolytes. Take a daily cocktail of Redman real salt, NoSalt for K, and MegaMag. Plus a B12 complex. I was suffering from low folic acid awhile back until i started the B12.
How much potassium (no salt) and salt do you consume? Thanns
@amysue1616 half a teaspoon of real salt. Quarter teaspoon of no salt potassium.
I've introduced a little honey every day to help me stay ahead of electrolytes so I'm not needing to supplement my electrolytes as often.
@@treythomas7647 honey has electrolytes? I’ve been drawn to honey lately and didn’t know why. I’ve been having killer lower back pains and just come to the conclusion it might be a potassium deficiency, since drinking a cup of half and half makes it go away.
@@iHeartAmySue no, the benefits of honey for me is to help stimulate enough insulin to prevent me from peeing everything out. Insulin is a much needed hormone in the body.
@@treythomas7647 if it’s good enough for John the Baptist and Sampson then I think it’s good enough for me
I have to make it known that low potassium ABSOLUTELY causes symptoms. I remember before they finally discovered my Hypokalemia, they swore my symptoms were from either pancreatitis, kidney stones, stomach paresis or abdominal hernia. Only after ruling that out they discovered it. At least (the least) once a day I would get a Charlie horse style pain right under either my left or right rib area that felt like someone sticking a hot metal rod through my abdomen. They said this type of abdominal cramp is seen at ER departments quite often in people with low potassium. It was horrific I assure you…. Just going on about you day then…BAM feels like something in you abdomen got stuck and twisted while on fire
I relate to this too! I’m going to look into the potassium. I removed sugar from my diet just drink warm lemon water and a savory meal meal to satisfy the pain went down 80%.
Hope you get to that 100% symptom relief 👍
I’m literally in the hospital 3 days now for all those symptoms for them to tell me my potassium is crazy low. I even quit drinking and was still having that pancreatitis type pain. It was that too but also my potassium. I had Charlie horses in both my calf’s for two days. I’m back to normal now. Got crazy energy too.
Just enjoy bacon (with eggs), one slice has 60mg of potassium (100 grams contains 557mg), plus B vitamins, selenium, protein.
Mmmm bacon. My meat candy.
I love that I searched this in Google and your website was the first to come up!! Winning
I’m on the carnivore diet and just ordered my 6th Dr Berg electrolytes powder. This stuff tastes great, I add half a lemon in it to give it a lemonade flavor.
I love it as well. I want to stock up on it.
Literally the best combo
@nevastrong2850 15% off on Dr Bergs website now! I also order on Amazon since I can literally get it the next day.
Lemon's not on the Carnivore diet.
Me too, been buying it for a couple of years, and at about $45 it lasts over 4 months, so it's a great value also.
Glad you mentioned oxalates. They receive far too spotlight imo. Had a kidney stone at 26, 10% of adults have them and it’s on the rise with very little mention or consideration in most diets.
Plz do more shows about chemotherapy & alternatives dr..
Thx
Carnivore kicks cancer to the curb.
What were you only eating during your "carnivore" 10 yrs ??? May I ask your age? @@s7r49
So thankful you addressed this.
Ketovore here....90% carnivore 10% plant based for several months now and doing absolutely magnificent! From what I understand on carnivore is that ruminant 100% grass fed red meat contains ALL vitamins which explains why people thrive on carnivore. Also learned recently that there are 7 "ESSENTIAL" nutrients that are found in animal products that you can NOT get from plant based products....this finally explains why people can reach optimal health on carnivore and NOT on vegan which also tells me that if one can not achieve optimal health on vegan but can on carnivore then keto is just a diet in between, keto you can be pretty healthy because you are getting animal product with your veggies but it's looking more and more that a diverse microbiome is not as beneficial as believed by some, it's quite possible that if you are carnivore there is no need for a diversed microbiome for optimal health.....don't shoot the messenger, I'm just looking at what the evidence has shown on both sides. Love the information Dr. Berg!!! Glad to see you are completely open minded about this and not just in bed with the keto lifestyle!
any red meat does that, the only difference is the fat composition and some vitamin composition differences based on Cow's diet. You do NOT need any plant material in your diet whatsoever, it's in fact contra-indicated because of anti nutrients and general reduction in nutrient intake due to plants. They have natural defense mechanisms your body has to deal with, even AFTER cooking.
@@Cenot4ph I believe that's what I said...ruminant red meat.
I know of monks in perfect health and state of mind and body, eating only a bit of greens and roots and bread from time to time. So I do think it is very individual. Our needs for calories and for animal products depend on our lifestyle I guess.
@@Cenot4phok, so if they are bad for us , why does dr Berg recommended salads and greens?
@@silvianencheva527 not possible, we have the same biochemistry. Those monks will develop nutrient deficiencies and general health problems over time.
Hi dr. Berg. I was on keto last year for 5 months and lost weight, felt great, got stomach upset and was advised to take rice banana etc. Til I fell off the wagon, and got a lot of my weight back. Now, i decided to get started and got back on track, but shifted to carnivore. Clean carnivore.
Today I had a strong americano, and hungarian sausage for breakfast, had palpitations after that very strong americano, ate beef belly for lunch, then around 4:30 at my shift, the doctor (i work at the hospital) checked my bp after we had a conversation about keto and carnivore, my bp was up 130/90. Normally i’m always 110-120/80. Im kinda worried. But i’ll stick to it right?
Was not expecting Dr Berg to be my first option on this topic but so grateful for the video. Always great info 😊
Potassium ions are spontaneously drawn into small pore spaces (i. e. into cells). Philippa Wiggins explored this behaviour in the context of porous silica gel. Maintaining excellent cellular redox to control the architecture of cells allows for the continued drawing of potassium into the locations in which it is required.
The more carnivore videos, the better ❤
If we are carnivore and need 4700 mg of potassium, and only get approximately 100 mg/ ounce of meat or fish. How do we get enough? I also heard that potassium chloride is better for hydration than potassium citrate and I bought the powdered Berg electrolytes and that has citrate and not chloride version. I really need to know how to get enough of the correct potassium. Thank you!
Thanks Dr Berg. Your knowledge is very appreciated. I have been on carnivore 2 years. I need this advice.
I was literally trying to figure this out last night and Boom, Dr. Berg drops this video
Glad you found it useful!
A bowl of beans lentils plus a small boiled potato is necessary.. 25 pc calories need to come from nutrient dense veg foods for potassium , vit c , roughage,magnesium ,calcium
Always great explanations. Appreciate all that you do.
My potassium supplement has 99mg per serving. My multi vitamin has 0 mg. From what I've seen it seems rare in the vitamin/supplement world. Sports hydration electrolytes, including salt, work for me during the hot months. Thanks to all that mentioned cream of tartar.
I believe it's a health regulation for the 99mg of potassium limit for the supplement. Maybe they people will get overdose of potassium.
@@mianlo2624 That seems to be the case. When I mentioned it to a pharmacist he said "maybe they want you to get it from us", meaning by prescription. I don't know. Higher mg. servings are out there. And right here at Dr. Bergs store, of which I am a customer.
@@s.campbell6394 In 1826 President John Adams was 90 and eating pretty good. What types of synthetic vitamins, supplements or fortified foods was he eating for the last 90 years? And what about the other 8.7 million species of animals what types of supplements have they been taking for the last 4 million years?
I say. This gentleman possesses the ability to distill internet ideas of the common man and internet bro-scientist into a format we have ALL grown to appreciate! 🥰
Doc, you omitted, butternut squash, Acorn squash, white beans, kidney beans, lentils and a few others as well!
Is potassium chloride salt an effective option for meeting daily potassium intake requirements?
Is it safe to use?
I regulary use NoSalt in addition to Pink Himalayan or Redmond's Real Salt and/or Celtic Sea Salt and have done so for over one year; I also have used Cream of Tartar although only once or twice so far
I've been using it for two weeks, and I've noticed a slight metallic taste. I'm curious about the daily grams you typically consume.
I'm sorry I can't say other than I usually eat twice a day and use salt shaker .. comes out pretty fast; I mostly eat animal, but also usually have some greens (fresh OR frozen OR pickled) Cream of Tartar tastes a little different (not bad) but I don't notice anything different with NoSalt@@kreetisana9640
Yes oo! Now I know more about Potassium. Knowledge is power. Thank you doctor 😘
I started my Dr. Berg addiction when I realized he echoed what my grandma (born 1901) instilled in me waaaay back during Hippie times. Beet greens and liver 'n onions 3 times a week! And, she told me how to easily grow beet greens from store beets. Miss her😢
Thanks for sharing your story here. Wishing you good health!
What other benefits did your grandma mention regarding "Beet greens and liver 'n onions 3 times a week!"?
Question. Is liver good to eat? I was afraid bc I know the liver's functions is to pull impurities out.
@@Fiene-Nix Yes liver can be good for you as its very nutrient dense, but don't over do it as it can cause copper poisoning - like once a week at the absolute most and probably less than that. If you think of the hundreds of pounds of meat you get from a cow vs. the few pounds of liver, its not something that we would have been able to consume regularly or in volume.
Thanks a lot, Dr Berg. This topic is often neglected in the carnivore community.
Check out Dr. Anthony Chaffee, Dr. Ken Berry and Dr. Shawn Baker discuss salt...if all you are eating is beef...you'll get plenty of potassium. We don't need tons of supplements when we're eating a species appropriate diet.
Is cream of tartar safe to use as potassium supplement? ~500mg /tsp.
I used it without issue.
Finally, a video about the proper* human diet
Love my salads, veggies and leafy greens and meats seasoned with spices and herbs like thyme, oregano or rosemary. Great content and beautiful thumbnail picture. Thanks, Dr Berg 💕
Amazing. Enjoy there :)
I loved my salads too...until they caused 3 small bowel obstructions and 3 hospital stays. Too many oxalates, and my body didnt like them!
Nutritional yeast has kept me young for decades. High in potassium, B vitamins and chromium.
Thank you, this is not discussed enough in the carnivore community - I hit a wall with low potassium carnivore even eating high potassium foods, however I am also extremely lean, active and potentially lean mass hyper responder. The 2 together may have been the wall so to speak. Added back in potassium plants and salads.
I am omad and carnivore great benefits but occasional heart pupitations and skipping beats . Added 1.5 litres of whole milk totally fixed the problem, must of been the potassium.
Baobab Powder is also packed with Potassium... over 2200mg per 100grams powder. Spirulina and Cacao powder is also potent with 1300 to 1600mg per 100grams ;)
you do not want to ingest any of this, stick with meat. Plants have medicinal purposes, they're not meant for us to be consumed
He’s amazing. I’m so functional because of this man.
Great video. Im carnivore with pumpkin and raspberries and doing well. Find i need electrolytes though, as low potassium, mag, and sodium. I am not a big eater so struggle to get enough in.
Beet greens have almost 3x as much potassium as beet roots, also a great source and I think beet greens along with collard greens make a great salad!
SUPER helpful video with the EXAMPLES and MEASURES of the relevant foods. Does it matter if the bone broth is homemade or store bought?
You're a good Doctor ! we can undestand you with our little knowledge in English 😅. Tanks very much
Glad to hear that. Thanks for watching my videos.
Is vitiman D-3 the same as or a good way to get Potassium?
Lol i wasn’t expecting bone broth haha 😂 cheers so much so simple to make 😊❤
You're welcome. Cheers!
I'm just "brewing" the bone broth- 5 hours into a 24 hour process. Collagen and potassium, my two favourites.
Hello Dr. Berg,
I have a question on the carnivore diet. Would a person with only one kidney be alright to take this diet on? The doctor told her she can’t have too much protein but she deals with extreme inflammation throughout her body. Thank you!
could you , in you videos , translate amounts mentioned as milligrams, into common references like, teaspoon/tablespoon , cups, etc? tis would be really cool, thanx
Great insightful content. Thank you so much, Dr Berg 🙏🏻
You look 28, judging from your picture. Must be eating healthy, huh!
@@Michael-gs8og thanks. Eating healthy makes a difference. Take care.
Idnk why all these other carnivore diet Doctors never mention Salt and Potassium importance. Thank you Dr.Berg!!!
Meat is loaded with potassium. People are more likely to be potassium deficient on a regular diet.
@@sanekabc 3400 MG is recommended daily dose of potassium.
@@bodegabuds1724that's the RDA, but we should shoot for about 4500mg daily between food and supplements
@@bodegabuds1724 Meat has like 400mg and fish has like 600mg potassium per 100g. On a carnivore diet, you can even get 4700mg potassium from less than 1 kg meat+fish combined. Also milk is very high in potassium (2 glasses ~ 700mg potassium).
@@PremVijayVelManispread the word a lot of Carnivores are lacking in Salt and Potassium!
Hello, if u may give some Vegetarian tip for Potassium, Mgn, as well other vits necessary 4 65+
❤Thank you so much Doctor Berg, your information is always useful and great advice ❤
Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words.
Hi Dr Berg, not sure if it is b/c of Keto n intermittent fasting, my blood tests shows low sodium at 130mmol/L . Do I need to do anything about it? The potassium level looks ok. However, do v need to supplement on potassium as I m also diagnosed of osteoporosis (T Score =-2.8) ?
I've started taking a quarter tsp of cream of tartar everyday to beef up my potassium. Cheap and effective supplement. Doesn't taste great but sparkling water with lemon it isn't too bad.
Heyy dr berg amazing video❤want to try the carnivore diet are herbs and spices allowed?
Thank you for all your knowledge Dr Berg... please follow up with how to get more magnesium more vitamin c more everything
I have started with your Keto a couple of weeks ago and all going ok except I can't stomach Kale or large amounts of greens, so am considering the carnivore diet to see if that is better for me. I can't stand the smell of Kale even if it's in a smoothie. I'm not overly sensitive to most foods, not celiac and have been tested multiple times, no known allergies so can only assume my body just doesn't like Kale. I don't do well on heavy wholemeal anything either.
@drberg understand if you can't answer this but can you tell me why Valencia peanuts have less oxalates? My dad has kidney stone problems and I'm curious
Potassium chloride powder is cheap and easy to take. Why isn't that recommended as a supplement?
Hi Dr Berg, could you do a video on DRY EYE, and best ways to manage it,and what to do..
Thank you, it will be much appreciated.!
Try beef liver works wonders😊😊😊

I had a problem on my join, a doctor said , i have problem on my tmj joint , it's called TMJ Ankylosis. My age is Just 21 and i had a small accident. I can open my mouth a little bit like 3/4cm. Should i go for surgery?
doctor said , This type of surgery very risk & my situation is abnormal. could you suggest me please. Thanks
I wish you would put out amongst your products, a potent potassium tablet, or pill or whatever. I would buy that. I think many people would. I know that your complaint against all the potassium suppliers is you basically get 100 units and you need more than that. Like 49 times that.. so Mr. Dr. Berg. You are the man we look to, to solve these problems.🧐🧐🧐 you can do it!! Go Daddyo😁
I love all your videos, so informative, but nobody mentioned for how long should I be on carnivore diet since i recently started to cure crohn's disease, but I do not want to loose weight, so when can I get back to normal diet or even keto or low carb diet? and what if I could not tolerate to be on carnivore what should I do? please advise..
I think i will have the bone broth for potassium because it has no oxalates.
So how much pottasium daily considered high to be a sodium potasium ratio 1 to 2..
In the past i remember u said ideal ratio sodium pottasium 1 to 3 or 4.
Doesnt alot of potassium get used to process carbs? If we arent eating carbs do we really still need 4700?
in carnivore diet potassium is not a problem if you are close to 2 lb of meat... the problem is magnesium because if you don't eat at least 3 lb you go into deficiency and the symptoms become noticeable over time... I only use 200-400mg magnesium per day
What about potassium supplement? Something one shouk consider ?
Hi Dr. Berg, Thank you for the nice information!! How about Mg in carnivore or carnivore-like diet in keto?? 🤔
So far, I have to supplement magnesium and potassium while low carb. I do use Redmond’s real salt to taste, and I add Keto Chow minerals to my beverages throughout the day.
Lamb also
Does anyone know if there's a mineral or vitamin deficiency connected to sleepwalking? Or does anyone have any suggestions as to how to help sleepwalking or how not to sleepwalk? My husband has injured himself a few times sleepwalking so I have been making him take magnesium before bed and he seems to have a more restful sleep. Was hoping someone had some thoughts on this subject.
Blackstrap molasses is high in potassium as well.
Hey Dr. Berg, on a ketogenic diet if one were to skip breakfast AND lunch but only eat dinner and a light snack at night would that be harmful in any way? Would you still get the benefits of a traditional IF schedule?
How about leaves from squash or zucchini plants? I juice them during the summer every day when the garden is plush.
Dr. Berg I need your help urgently! Please! please! I'm dealing with severe epigastric pain. Did endoscopy and colonoscopy. GI said I have irritation and inflammation in antrum. My pain is so bad that I can't walk or do daily chores. I have pain when I walk. When I lay down or sit I have no pain. What can I do? Please help me!
Is oxilates significantly higher in concentration in DARK CHOCOLATE? lemon juice is best and only counter measure to kidney stones?
I love beet leaves and would eat them daily if I could find them. I'd like to drink bone broth but it's so high in sodium.
We are starting carnivore from keto, I see potassium citrate helps keep kidney stones at bay, can you take too much? My mother had kidney stones really bad and I don't want them. My bloodwork is fine but I am trying to stop soda and lose 120 lbs, no meds other than Moringa, vit B complex, Vit D & K & Aleve for pains @ 58, I do have IBS & Haglunds on both heels which can be painful.
I appreciate the knowledge you share here. Wish you the best.
Thank you very much. Wishing you good health!
Curious as to why since we need so much potassium then why is the reccommended dosage on my bottle 99mg's a day? I'm strict carnivore and do intermittent fasting for 20 hours a day, how many 99mg pills is it safe for me to take a day? I do drink 2 cups od bone broth a day as well.
Raw milk, especially fermented, e.g., kefir and cheese, contains around 320mg of extremely bio available potassium per cup
Thank you Dr. Berg! I eat a carnivore diet and this is great information.
You're welcome! Glad you found it useful!
@drberg what About the magnesium, do we need that as much as potassium?
Definitely, if not more. Magnesium is responsible for over 300 reactions in the body (and can help with sleep).
