If you need a consult with Dr. Roshani Sanghani go here reisaanhealth.com. It's very difficult to find a medical doctor who uses mainly food as their primary tool to help people - I highly recommend her: :))
Most Americans are poor & they can't afford fresh veggies & fruits so they stick to eating meat which is easily affordable & readily available & doctor Eric looks weak & skinny because he's also probably poor
stop cruelty, stop eating animals & stop lecturing the world that your carnivore diet is the best diet. from the other side of the world we don't really give a flying f***
Totally agree. The indian wives have no healthy diet knowledge. They are thought to make rice roti daal no fresh veg. The veg they make is full of oil and cooked to their death. They don't.listen to their husband and make no effort to improve their health. Despite them having all illness. Every celebration involves tons of suger sweets fried food and Surrey drinks.
Kefir is very easily made once you get it started, you just us 2 tsp. of kefir from you product and add it to your new batch, set it out at room temperature for 36-48 hour, I use raw milk, but whole milk will work.
Protruding belly means visceral fat which equals to stress.. i mean if you eat crap, you would be fat. If you eat crap and you have stress, you end up with bellyfull of visceral fat. Dr. Lustig's great discovery
stop cruelty, stop eating animals and stop lecturing the world that your carnivore diet is the best diet. From the other side of the world world we don't really give a flying F
I remember as a kid my Doctor would suggest lifestyle and diet changes, like eat hot foods or gargle with hot salt water, which I wonder if it still exists.
Uh no. Meat can be bought in bulk at some retailers. Organ meat can be picked up at a steal. Considering the amount of carbs we eat, protein is cheaper.
@@kg1110 Considering the long term damage to the person that is mitigated by protein it is the less expensive long term choice for certain. Grief saver.
It blows my mind how fast I lose weight when I avoid carbs. If only I could have the will power to stick with it. My wife bakes the best cookies and cakes on earth, this is how I know she hates me.
I completely changed my diet six months ago based on nationally recommended guidelines, but it only made my health worse. It wasn’t until I read 'The 23 Former Doctor Truths' that I realized doing the opposite of what the government advises can actually make a difference. No wonder the doctor who wrote it left their career-speaking the truth often challenges the system!
WOW !!! What a fantastic interview. I've done keto for 5 years and this is the best video I've ever seen. This India doctor is doing the impossible!!!

Also, Indians think that eating eggs means eating something that could turn into life. I try my best here to educate about laying hens, non fertilized eggs that will never become a life- that no rooster is with them, most are shocked and have never heard this before.
I appreciate the honest assessment of.lack of nutrition teaching in medical school. As an RN in the US, it is outside my scope of practice to Rx medications, so I do extensive education on nutrition for my patients. Part of my job is to teach my patients how to reduce the risk of returning to the hospital. Nutrition is SO IMPORTANT!!!! People are eager to learn because it's something they can control. I've asked many docs in each area I've worked (Nephrology. Cardiology, Orthopedics, Neurology, and currently GI!!) why they don't teach patients nutritional ways to help manage their health conditions. The answer is the same - they don't study that in school. All that to say - food IS medicine. If your nurse is trying to teach you about how to use nutrition to manage your health, please listen and ask questions, etc! We LOVE teaching these things!
As a doctor, training in india I totally agree what she said, because I am more into changing lifestyle that prescribing medicines. I had to learn everything about nutrition from elsewhere and nothing from my med curriculum.
They used to teach nutrition in grade school,but it got lost alo g the way.and what they taught us is mostly wrong now.people need to educate themselves and not follow what drs say so much

He offered me some nutritional classes with their staff Nutritionist. I FLATLY turned him down……politely, of course. BECAUSE I am very aware of how Nutrition is taught in colleges.

Thank you SO MUCH for this video. I went keto some weeks ago after having been a vegetarian and relying heavily on carbs for a long time because I didn't know better. I feel so much better, but I was afraid to ruin it all when going to India next year, everything is carbohydrates and little protein there. And I won't be able to choose my meals myself like I do at home in Germany. Now I finally have a clue. Thank you so much!!! I am not sure my beloved Indian husband is ready for this knowledge yet, and I do understand the emotional and traditional attachment to his rotis and all that. but maybe some day :) Bless you both and thanks especially for the western and Indian first hand view combined. It's like you made this video for me especially :D
One of the best and easiest to "digest" videos I've seen recently about real life, functional nutrition. What to include, what to eliminate, and most of all, why! Also dispels a bunch of myths about certain go-to and traditional foods. Great interview. So much great practical advice in context! And, btw, start your evening meal by FIRST eating a huge salad including every veggie in your fridge or freezer, a few chopped nuts, chopped/grated apples for sweetness, with a savory dressing, maybe chopped hard boiled eggs for protein. And then eat a protein (meat, fish)...but usually I'm too full for anything after my humongous salad. The order is important to avoid glucose spikes. And there's a glucose goddess online with useful specifics for a good intro to what both docs say in this video.
Indians should watch this video a hundred times, preferably once every day to just remind them what they are fighting 😂 is not easy but knowledge could change a whole generation towards better health, kudos!
When someone says they’re vegetarian or vegan , I thought that meant they are lots of fresh plants / nuts/ beans but I learned that’s not the case. It’s lots of processed “vegan” labeled packaged foods, and vegan fake meats.its so sad that food is so complicated for so many people
I think the fake meat and vegan labelled food is mostly in the West - slowly 3:45 creeping into other countries. I was a vegetarian and for me, this meant not eating meat. In my country meat is expensive for the the average citizen and many people eat meat 1-2* a week, even maybe a few times a month so technically a lot of people (especially the poor) live a vegetarian lifestyle. We already have many meatless meals. I didn't even know of vegan everything - meat/ice-cream/yoghurt.... until I moved to Germany in 2019!
Yep I think maybe the reason it was not an issue historically is because in the past there was more food scarcity so the carb sugars were readily burned.
Wow... This is nice Eye-opener for Indians from Dr. Roshani ma'am. Every Indian should watch this video. Thank you Dr. Berg. You are doing a great job for humanity.
Dr. B & team: Why not create a worldwide network of nutrition advocates like Dr. Sanghani to interview regularly and learn what are the nutrition challenges and successes of other cultures? Fascinating content.
So interesting. As a (holistic / naturopathic).focused veterinarian, I had the exactly same experience in uni as Dr Roshani Sanghani. How much focus was on prescriptions. And how nothing was taught about lifestyle (in my case for pets, and also large animals). Worse - nothing's changed since then - for 30 years!😮
I started reading about medicine prescribed for me before I bought it. One doctor prescribed a medicine that had a very long warning to only take it in front of the doctor because it could cause death. It went on and on about it. I did not buy it, she never mentioned that and what I got it for wasn’t worth that and eventually it went away. Thank you Dr. Berg for all the nutrition info for that.
😮😮I'm not from the Asian countries, but this awesome conversation has taught me and kept me at check with what I was thinking about carbs. Thanks, Dr Berg & Dr. Roshani.Greetings from Kenya 🇰🇪
Seed oils, healthy and unhealthy carbs, unhealthy fats, sugars in all its forms and non exercise. Im Indian, 95% carnivore, intermittent and prolong fasts. High protein, ghee, coconut oil, grass fed butter. Exercise intensely, 6 or 7 % bodyfat.
Very kind of this channel to focus specifically on Indians’ health issue. Indian women too have pot bellies, although better hidden under Indian attires.
Growing up, we were told to eat more carbs for energy and low-fat foods. I've struggled with my weight my whole life. Thankyou doctor's for the excellent video. I wish i knew then what i know now.
We Indians are not vegetarians, we are carbotarians. Yes, I had a potbelly in my 40s. I have worked hard to get rid of it, I am in my late 50s now. I love Indian food, but for me, it's a treat, not an everyday staple.
@heremate2435 I am not a vegetarian here by far. Too much meat is also not the answer either. No one food group is the problem or the answer to our holistic health.
@@heremate2435 , but I do agree that Indians would be better off if they introduced some healthier proteins like eggs and fish to their diets. Eating legumes 3 times a day as their source of protein is not a good choice for their already carb-heavy meals.
@@heremate2435 You can't just eat meat either ;). then you get the TOFI syndrome. "Thin on the Outside Fat on the Inside". :D.. A mostly plant-based diet with healthy fats and some animal products is the way to go. You can be a healthy vegetarian and an unhealthy non-vegetarian, and vice versa as with any diet, portions and proportions matter.
@@Drroshanisanghani Thank you for the reply Dr Sanghani. I shall share the video with as many as possible. You are saving lives of millions of Indians from type 2 diabeties. People want to leave India and come to US. You on the other hand have left US and are in India, saving lives of millions. Whole of India is grateful to you for your great medical work in India
Spot on! I’m of Indian heritage and very early on I knew I would break this generational curse. High protein and fats with minimal carbs makes me feel my best. At time I’ll go high carb when bulking but I train very hard to maintain a lean frame.
Every Indian should check out this video. The habit of consuming food that's high in carbs but low in protein is a big factor behind many health problems for Indians. As a South Indian, we eat rice daily, which makes up about 90% of our meals. Every special occations we eat Laddu, Payasam or similar sweet items which are pure Sugar. Thanks to Dr. Berg, I've been following a Keto and intermittent fasting plan for over six months now, and I'm sticking with it. My triglycerides dropped from 492 to 83, and a lot of my health issues vanished after I started taking Vitamin D, K2, and Magnesium.
Fantastic interview, Doc. Everything Dr. Sanghani said is so true and to the point, but the information is just not out there and sometimes people just don't want to hear it. God bless you both for bringing this out♥!
India has had a high proportion of carb eating vegetarians for centuries. So it's not simply carbs, Dr Roshani gets to the core of the issues toward the end, which is refined carbohydrates, refined foods in general. If they/we got back to good basic food stuffs and left out all the processed product, the problem would largely disappear.
Naah Indian earlier worked a lot in fields and in general life so that much carb was kind of okay ! But we were never known for our muscular bodies or strength ! The non vegetarian warrior clans were extremely strong but they had loads of meats and milk based proteins from various foods ! So sir you are totally wrong in ur analysis .
@@Invictus999-9 thank you. This video is about the current state of Indian majority who suffer poor metabolic health in 2024. No claims are being made about what was historically eaten. This is about what people can change now, to improve metabolic health through food.
My dad lives in Mexico and has problems with blood pressure, heart problems, cramping, breathing, overall endurance and motivation.. hes lived an extremely rough life and I try to think and respond consciously to his ailments.. i always recommend many solutions and tips that were brought up by this channel and Dr. Berg. You are a rare breed of health professionals in the modern health system. And I couldn't thank you enough for all the great free information you share to the masses in an effort to help improve our overall health and lifestyle! Thanks Berg 👊
Dr. Berg. This issue is not only confined to india but in almost all old subcontinent countries including india, Pakistan, afghanistan, iran, Bangladesh,napal, sri Lanka, maldeves etc.
I’m 53, it’s not carbs, it’s something else. People back in the 1970’s ate plenty of carbs and they weren’t all fat with disease. It’s a plethora of man made chemicals
This problem is not just in India. We american's have the same problem, we just have different names for the food causing it. I'm grateful for this info. Just 3 days ago I had a stress test and failed. Blocked arteries they suspect. I have done some Keto off and on along with intermittent fasting. It had to come to serious life or death for me to decide to GET SERIOUS about this. This video checked all the boxes I need to address and has motivated me beyond belief. I know I can do the right thing because I've done it before and it really wasn't hard. Just have to be committed. I will spend the next 2 weeks getting rid of the carbs in my kitchen and fillint it with what I really need. By Jan 1 I will be ready to go full speed into eating right and being more healthy. Thank you Dr. Berg.
YESSS!!! This can be done. I'm living healthier, have more energy and am much thinner since I dumped carbs (pasta, bread, etc...and I'm Italian!) and especially sugar. Now I love my veggies, eggs, cheeses, fruits, fermented foods...and my comfort "food": coffee ;) More energy. More clarity. Better life.
Beef, Lamb, Bacon, Butter , eggs, butter, heavy cream, fish, sea salt and water. Nothing else is needed to thrive and survive. Some people do lion diet and just have beef, salt and water.
Dr. Berg! Wow! This is an eye opening interview that you have posted...Very educational and very informative session. Dr.Roshani was very knowledgeable and the questions raised during this interview were very apt and discussed multiple options for vegetarians to achieve a full fledged protein diet. Thank you very much for this "Indian" angle in this interview to address some dietary myths and misconceptions. Amazing job by both of you Doctors! 👏🏼 🙌
This was a great and informative video. I always wondered why I was craving so much sweet food. You answered a lot of my questions. I will probably watch this again and take notes.🙂
hi Dr. Berg. I come from South Indian background.. all my life when i was living in India we were told that eating lot of meat will make you fat and the lethils with rice and samosas and all other indian snacks are good for our health since or ancestors lived close to 100 years. but when i moved to Ireland and i prefered mostly non vegetarian diet but this time i havnt had lot of rice with it. Almost every day i was having protein and my parents were worried about my diet but believe me i lost around 15kgs and never felt better. i took my vitamins and included good amount of protein and l cycled for 8-10 kms everyday. but things changed when i moved back to India. In India food is very cheap...believe me somehow it is cheap to eat street food than to cook at home and within two years i developed fatty liver, round belly, hair loss, and i look 10 years older. But i have had enough.. I have been avoiding sugars for a week and started cooking to avoid street food, taking vitamin d3 60000 IU per week and im already feeling great. Now my whole family is a huge fan of your videos and stopped going to a local doctor for nutritional adivise. I'm 118kg as of today.. but few months from now i will be proud of myself. I'M glad that i found you..please keep doing god's work.
carbs proteins fats etc don't cause weight loss, a calorie deficit does. there's more to internet than eric berg, one of them is Simon Hill. would recommend watching him some time

I think the fake meat and vegan labelled food is mostly in the West - slowly 3:45 creeping into other countries. I was a vegetarian and for me, this meant not eating meat. In my country meat is expensive for the the average citizen and many people eat meat 1-2* a week, even maybe a few times a month so technically a lot of people (especially the poor) live a vegetarian lifestyle. We already have many meatless meals.
I didn't even know of vegan everything - meat/ice-cream/yoghurt.... until I moved to Germany in 2019!
Amazing Indian female doctor! She looks so healthy and her knowledge is amazing! Dr. Berg, this is one of your amazing content I ever saw here
Not just Indian men. Malaysian men too.
India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, SL. Malaysia not so much - may be you are ref to Malaysians from India. 😄
Cheap junk food.
And men who drink a lot will get that swollen belly, face, red nose, etc.

21:35. The question everyone was waiting to be asked. Awesome!!!👍🏼
Careful with cheese
The renin used is importat!
Look out for synthetic renins
This video is truly eye-opening, especially about how protein can positively impact belly fat reduction and overall health.
Thank you Dr Berg and Dr Roshani Sanghani !!!
😺👍
In India eggs are considered as part of non - vegetarian diet. Only milk and milk products are included in vegetarian diet.
Milk is poisonous full of lactose sugar. Whole cream is okay but never drink milk
Yep I think maybe the reason it was not an issue historically is because in the past there was more food scarcity so the carb sugars were readily burned.
Wow... This is nice Eye-opener for Indians from Dr. Roshani ma'am. Every Indian should watch this video. Thank you Dr. Berg. You are doing a great job for humanity.
Dr. B & team: Why not create a worldwide network of nutrition advocates like Dr. Sanghani to interview regularly and learn what are the nutrition challenges and successes of other cultures?
Fascinating content.
Great idea, could bring a variety of cultures and ideas together!
I always enjoy your videos, Dr. Berg. A video on digestive bitters would be awesome to see.
Angostura Bitters?
Perhaps the best video i have ever seen,the female doctor's explanation is superb.
I am Indian and just today worried about my big belly and you posted thanks Dr. Berg ✨✨
So interesting. As a (holistic / naturopathic).focused veterinarian, I had the exactly same experience in uni as Dr Roshani Sanghani. How much focus was on prescriptions. And how nothing was taught about lifestyle (in my case for pets, and also large animals). Worse - nothing's changed since then - for 30 years!😮
I started reading about medicine prescribed for me before I bought it. One doctor prescribed a medicine that had a very long warning to only take it in front of the doctor because it could cause death. It went on and on about it. I did not buy it, she never mentioned that and what I got it for wasn’t worth that and eventually it went away. Thank you Dr. Berg for all the nutrition info for that.
Great information here. Both sent a great message. Enjoyed so much.
Such a good talk, and wonderful to hear a physician with years of clinical experience and a thorough understanding of nutritional impacts on the body!
Glad you liked it! Thank you for watching!
😮😮I'm not from the Asian countries, but this awesome conversation has taught me and kept me at check with what I was thinking about carbs. Thanks, Dr Berg & Dr. Roshani.Greetings from Kenya 🇰🇪
Those foufou need to be reduced.
Habari from jirani yako
The same problem everywhere
@@dianeangel7171 🤣🤣🤣ooh salama sana.
This conversation hit me hard.
I live near Chinatown in NYC I have NEVER seen a fat Chinese. And, they eat a rice-based diet. Not much meat & I don’t see desserts.
@petermunyua3270 salama. Yes, those carbs are killing everyone.
People don't even eat veggies anymore
Seed oils, healthy and unhealthy carbs, unhealthy fats, sugars in all its forms and non exercise.
Im Indian, 95% carnivore, intermittent and prolong fasts. High protein, ghee, coconut oil, grass fed butter. Exercise intensely, 6 or 7 % bodyfat.
Very kind of this channel to focus specifically on Indians’ health issue. Indian women too have pot bellies, although better hidden under Indian attires.
Growing up, we were told to eat more carbs for energy and low-fat foods. I've struggled with my weight my whole life. Thankyou doctor's for the excellent video. I wish i knew then what i know now.
Because you were lied to by propagandists
The issue is surely the vegetarian diet, it will be very difficult to not eat mostly carbs, and lacking protein massively.
No! eg. peanut butter 26% protein rest fat & fibre very little carbs so that is just 1 example.
100 years ago all of India was mostly Slim and they never ate meat something has changed😢😢
@@iRossco animal protein is a different thing
Yet, the only time I did not have a belly was when I was eating vegetarian.
@@rubenproost2552 because maybe you personally ate less carbs when being vegetarian, but it's not usually the case
Two wonderful doctors/educators, great insights!!!
She became my favorite! Thank you for bringing her into attention!❤
This is really really interesting!!!
Love ffrom India!!!!
We Indians are not vegetarians, we are carbotarians. Yes, I had a potbelly in my 40s. I have worked hard to get rid of it, I am in my late 50s now. I love Indian food, but for me, it's a treat, not an everyday staple.
You are vegetarian you hardly eat any animal products and no meat at all, that's why you have all these problems
@heremate2435 I am not a vegetarian here by far. Too much meat is also not the answer either. No one food group is the problem or the answer to our holistic health.
@@heremate2435 , but I do agree that Indians would be better off if they introduced some healthier proteins like eggs and fish to their diets.
Eating legumes 3 times a day as their source of protein is not a good choice for their already carb-heavy meals.
@@HeartCoffeeTime that you are a 'carbotarian' shows 'too much meat' isn't your problem, nearly everything non meat/dairy is carbs, including legumes
@@heremate2435 You can't just eat meat either ;). then you get the TOFI syndrome. "Thin on the Outside Fat on the Inside". :D.. A mostly plant-based diet with healthy fats and some animal products is the way to go.
You can be a healthy vegetarian and an unhealthy non-vegetarian, and vice versa as with any diet, portions and proportions matter.
WOW, impressed!! What a wonderful and REAL doctor - thank you for this interview👏🏼👏🏼
This video of Dr Berg & Dr Sanghani should be shared with each and every person in India
Please do share this raise awareness!
@@Drroshanisanghani Thank you for the reply Dr Sanghani. I shall share the video with as many as possible. You are saving lives of millions of Indians from type 2 diabeties. People want to leave India and come to US. You on the other hand have left US and are in India, saving lives of millions. Whole of India is grateful to you for your great medical work in India
Spot on! I’m of Indian heritage and very early on I knew I would break this generational curse. High protein and fats with minimal carbs makes me feel my best. At time I’ll go high carb when bulking but I train very hard to maintain a lean frame.
Awesome interview
IT'S SO INTERESTING INTERVIEW. Thank you so much to both dr.
I'm south indian I'm following you keto
This may be the best, most impactful interview/ video Dr Berg has ever done. Thanks. Blessings.
Very glad to be of help.
Thank you for bringing on someone from that culture. Good info
Every Indian should check out this video. The habit of consuming food that's high in carbs but low in protein is a big factor behind many health problems for Indians. As a South Indian, we eat rice daily, which makes up about 90% of our meals. Every special occations we eat Laddu, Payasam or similar sweet items which are pure Sugar. Thanks to Dr. Berg, I've been following a Keto and intermittent fasting plan for over six months now, and I'm sticking with it. My triglycerides dropped from 492 to 83, and a lot of my health issues vanished after I started taking Vitamin D, K2, and Magnesium.
congrats on your amazing success! Please help by sharing this video widely!
Fantastic interview, Doc. Everything Dr. Sanghani said is so true and to the point, but the information is just not out there and sometimes people just don't want to hear it. God bless you both for bringing this out♥!
Very important topic Dr. Eric.
I feel even younger men in early 20s have pot bellies these days.
India has had a high proportion of carb eating vegetarians for centuries. So it's not simply carbs, Dr Roshani gets to the core of the issues toward the end, which is refined carbohydrates, refined foods in general. If they/we got back to good basic food stuffs and left out all the processed product, the problem would largely disappear.
Yes I explain this and more in great detail in my book
Naah Indian earlier worked a lot in fields and in general life so that much carb was kind of okay !
But we were never known for our muscular bodies or strength !
The non vegetarian warrior clans were extremely strong but they had loads of meats and milk based proteins from various foods !
So sir you are totally wrong in ur analysis .
@@Invictus999-9 Thank you, I have not heard that information before.
@@Invictus999-9 thank you. This video is about the current state of Indian majority who suffer poor metabolic health in 2024. No claims are being made about what was historically eaten. This is about what people can change now, to improve metabolic health through food.
Very insightful Dr Roshani and Dr Eric! Totally hit the nail on the head for our population.
The same goes for Some Latin American countries their diets is fool of carbs.
youre right amigo!
My dad lives in Mexico and has problems with blood pressure, heart problems, cramping, breathing, overall endurance and motivation.. hes lived an extremely rough life and I try to think and respond consciously to his ailments.. i always recommend many solutions and tips that were brought up by this channel and Dr. Berg.
You are a rare breed of health professionals in the modern health system. And I couldn't thank you enough for all the great free information you share to the masses in an effort to help improve our overall health and lifestyle!
Thanks Berg 👊
I appreciate this! Very insightful! As an Indian I always wondered this. Skinny everywhere else but VERY protruding bellies.
A profound discussion. We need more of such.
yes there is some honest doctors exists !!
As an Indian , I feel like it's very much needed discussion. Now it's high time we should take a look into our food habits.
Really appreciate your input. Thanks for watching the video. Do well!
So refreshing that no one got offended 👏
Dr berg is trying hard to fix problems of carb diet a big thanks to you love from india
Dr. Berg. This issue is not only confined to india but in almost all old subcontinent countries including india, Pakistan, afghanistan, iran, Bangladesh,napal, sri Lanka, maldeves etc.
Also all south East Asian countries.
It is parasites.
Apparently this is being censored. It is para sites.
@@sl4983 The parasites in your brain? That could be it, possibly 😂
Extremely educating video!
Thank you to both
of these very
knowledgeable
Doctors!
I’m 53, it’s not carbs, it’s something else. People back in the 1970’s ate plenty of carbs and they weren’t all fat with disease. It’s a plethora of man made chemicals
It's definitely carbs, but not only carbs as you say!
Exercise?
What fat did you use to cook in? I’m wondering if it’s all the seed oils in the food
Seed oil and HFCS.
@@chompnormski In the 70s, most people were still starving.
Wow!!! So excited for this conversation! Love the collaboration
This really is very good information. Thank you doc
Knowledge is divine. Thanks 🙏
This problem is not just in India. We american's have the same problem, we just have different names for the food causing it.
I'm grateful for this info. Just 3 days ago I had a stress test and failed. Blocked arteries they suspect. I have done some Keto off and on along with intermittent fasting. It had to come to serious life or death for me to decide to GET SERIOUS about this. This video checked all the boxes I need to address and has motivated me beyond belief. I know I can do the right thing because I've done it before and it really wasn't hard. Just have to be committed.
I will spend the next 2 weeks getting rid of the carbs in my kitchen and fillint it with what I really need. By Jan 1 I will be ready to go full speed into eating right and being more healthy. Thank you Dr. Berg.
YESSS!!! This can be done. I'm living healthier, have more energy and am much thinner since I dumped carbs (pasta, bread, etc...and I'm Italian!) and especially sugar. Now I love my veggies, eggs, cheeses, fruits, fermented foods...and my comfort "food": coffee ;) More energy. More clarity. Better life.
Good luck😅
Beef, Lamb, Bacon, Butter , eggs, butter, heavy cream, fish, sea salt and water.
Nothing else is needed to thrive and survive.
Some people do lion diet and just have beef, salt and water.
In America we call it beer bellies🤭
I’m not even Indian and this information is sooo helpful ! Thank youuu
She has beauty + brains Dr Berg, excellent find! 💥💥
Relax diddy
it was a perfect basic knowledge session .. I will look out for cgm .. If possible please share a list of such self care smart devices ..
Abbott makes the most commonly used sensor.
Dr. Berg! Wow! This is an eye opening interview that you have posted...Very educational and very informative session. Dr.Roshani was very knowledgeable and the questions raised during this interview were very apt and discussed multiple options for vegetarians to achieve a full fledged protein diet.
Thank you very much for this "Indian" angle in this interview to address some dietary myths and misconceptions.
Amazing job by both of you Doctors! 👏🏼 🙌
This was a great and informative video. I always wondered why I was craving so much sweet food. You answered a lot of my questions. I will probably watch this again and take notes.🙂
hi Dr. Berg. I come from South Indian background.. all my life when i was living in India we were told that eating lot of meat will make you fat and the lethils with rice and samosas and all other indian snacks are good for our health since or ancestors lived close to 100 years. but when i moved to Ireland and i prefered mostly non vegetarian diet but this time i havnt had lot of rice with it. Almost every day i was having protein and my parents were worried about my diet but believe me i lost around 15kgs and never felt better. i took my vitamins and included good amount of protein and l cycled for 8-10 kms everyday. but things changed when i moved back to India. In India food is very cheap...believe me somehow it is cheap to eat street food than to cook at home and within two years i developed fatty liver, round belly, hair loss, and i look 10 years older. But i have had enough.. I have been avoiding sugars for a week and started cooking to avoid street food, taking vitamin d3 60000 IU per week and im already feeling great. Now my whole family is a huge fan of your videos and stopped going to a local doctor for nutritional adivise. I'm 118kg as of today.. but few months from now i will be proud of myself. I'M glad that i found you..please keep doing god's work.
how tf do you have low D3? do you even go out for 10 minutes a day in the sunlight?
carbs proteins fats etc don't cause weight loss, a calorie deficit does. there's more to internet than eric berg, one of them is Simon Hill. would recommend watching him some time
Great conversation, thanks.
Most Indian vegetarian diet consists of mainly 3 Ingredients
