20:24 Nine tips for improving your insulin sensitivity and metabolism
In this video, I want to talk about how to fix a broken metabolism. Now, this is an incredibly important topic, so pay attention closely and take notes.
1. Dieting slows your metabolism. If you have dieted for many years, chances are, your metabolism is very slow.
2. Dieting increases your hunger and cravings. In turn, many people who go on diets end up gaining the weight right back.
3. Age slows down your metabolism.
4. Exercise increases your hunger and cravings.
5. It’s unnatural to lose weight. If you think about it, your body’s goal is to store energy for when it really needs it-like a time of famine or starvation. Weight gain is a survival mechanism.
There’s a certain point that your body likes to settle at as far as your weight. I like to call this the “set point.” Your set point is the range where it becomes difficult to either lose weight or even gain weight. I want to show you how to lower your set point. Let’s say your set point is around 182, and you want to lower it to 142. The goal is to drop the set point.
First, there is one primary thing that ruins your metabolism’s set point: high insulin. In the presence of insulin, it is impossible to lose weight and drop your set point. Insulin promotes fat storage and prevents fat loss. Sugar and carbohydrates trigger insulin. Over years of a high-carb and high-sugar diet, your cells become resistant to insulin, which leads to more insulin production to try to compensate.
To get insulin resistance under control, you have to limit:
• Sugar/carbs
• Protein
• Gastrointestinal hormones
• Estrogen
To fix your metabolism, consume foods low on the glycemic index. High-fat foods are fantastic for fighting insulin resistance and metabolism problems. Avoid low-fat foods.
Intermittent fasting helps avoid insulin spikes, which reduces insulin resistance and improves metabolism. Only have 1-3 meals a day and skip breakfast whenever possible.
More tips for fixing your metabolism:
1. Apple cider vinegar
2. Fermented foods
3. High potassium foods
4. Vitamin B1
5. Fiber
6. Fat
7. Lower cortisol and estrogen
8. Sleep and exercise
9. Consume plenty of low-carb vegetables

I found this channel by pure accident last thursday. I was 337lb, with lots of health issues, highly hypocondriac, could not bear to hear anyting about the body or body functions without feeling physically bad and anxious. Still, for the first time in my life I was interested to hear, everything makes full sense, Dr. Berg's description of the pancreas body type fits unbelievably well with all my ills and the theory behind it all, what was wrong with me, how all my previous efforts failed, made perfect sense. I started watching one video after another.... Well, I started doing intermittent fasting (18/6, 2 meals a day) and planning my keto shoplist last since friday. Now is tuesday and I'm already 328lb, so it's a 9lb loss for starters. I know it's a LONG, LONG way to go, but I''m excited and it has been actually much easier than previous attempts at dieting. I will carry on, learn more and do more. Wish me luck.
You can do it Bruno!! im rooten for ya!!!!
@@maplesden6768 Thanks!! Today I weighted 316lb, so it's 21lb in little more than two weeks; I'm still perfecting and adjusting diet, but have totally cut sugars and flours, and I can do the 16/8 IF window pretty effortless. For those who are wondering if they should do this, I can say that my energy levels have already gone sky-high (people seem to think of an obese guy full of energy as odd, but I'm happy nevertheless), and hunger has not gone completely yet, but drastically reduced. IF is not hard at all and the benefits are quick to perceive!
That's amazing!! Wish you all the best of luck! You're doing great :)
Good Luck Bruno from France ! Your name seems to have French origins !
Bruno LeCathare Way to go Bruno, I am very happy for you. You got this. And remember if you should falter, don't worry about it, just get back on track and keep moving forward😀
My wife was diagnosed 5 weeks ago with T2D. Went keto with cruciferous veggies along with intermittent fasting, ACV and walks after meals. Zero sugars and carbs, besides the veggies.. Her blood sugar went from 300 to cruising around 90-120. I've lost 15 lbs and she's lost 12 lbs. Aches and pains are gone, tremendous mental clarity (she's doing math in her head, never could before!), tons of energy, skin is clear, ankles aren't swollen and waking up bright-eyed. Thank you doctor for the easily understood science and am excited for check up in December! This works!
How did your wife's check up go?
@@KingsDaughter. Great! Doctor said keep it up and she's almost never seen such dedication. Her A1C was 5.2! 🥰
@@floaterfans 🙌💪 so great to read encouraging stories 😃😁
Did you have that initial "keto flu" at the start cutting out sugar and xarbs so fast?
But how r you consistent? I can t help binging
@@stefaniakonstantinidou981 You are not eating enough healthy fats during your meals.
Dr berg today I weight 201 lbs from 263 lbs starting April 5 th .. I know 201 is still a lot but it’s a big milestone for me
Thank you for talking so elegantly and not shouting with excitement like %99 of TH-camrs!

Crux : lower Insulin/ Insulin resistance
1) ACV
2) Fermented food
3) High potassium
4) Vitamin B1
5) Fibre
6) Fat
7) lower cortisol + estrogen
8) Sleep/Exercise
9) Vegetables
Yes. I'd add enough avocados. Especially if one is a very stressful environment.
Can someone tell me why you need vegetables again for flushing fat from the liver?
@@jcampo4 if you don’t eat the vegetables you’ll keep your fatty liver.
@@jcampo4 vegetables cleanse.
High potassium cause ACV lowers the potassium levels in body.
Thanks for this video. It helps to understand the science behind healthy weight loss. My hubby and I have been on keto food plan for 1.5 yrs. He has lost 45 lbs, and I have lost 55 lbs. We follow you regularly - all that apply to us. Thanks again.
Wow! Congratulations to the both of you! Thank you for sharing! Could you tell us more about it and would you be willing to submit it here, so that we can share it? Please use this link:

Where do you find your recipies? I can't eat eggs so I've never been able to follow keto as every recipe I find seems to have eggs :(
@@Drberg hey Dr Berg, my wife works out everyday and is physically fit. She eats somewhat healthy. One big problem is that she NEVER goes to the bathroom. Like 1-2 times a week. Some times 4/5 days without going to the bathroom. We have gone to many doctors who say “you have a lazy colon.” They don’t do anything. Please help!
@@double_joseph327 it's worth looking into IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)
@@double_joseph327Try having a Bran muffin, a cup of coffee and a cigarette. Clears me out in 20 minutes!
Thank you for speaking and articulating so that the average person can truly understand what is happening with their body. You just connected the dots and made it all make sense.
Dr you just saved my life! I was killing myself and had no idea I was. I'm 32 been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2007 amd never was explained exactly what it was. I was just put on pills that I hated taking. In February my right quadriceps tendon broke my kneecap in half while I was just WALKING and my quadriceps muscle on my left knee tore completely off. I didnt do anything for that to happen. My muscles ache, my left big toe is stiff and my right middle finger is bent. I contemplated suicide because I was suffering so much pain and my body was falling apart. To add insult to injury I have a hemmorage in my left eye, found out my vitamin d level was 8 (dangerously low) and I was hospitalized for having low potassium. I felt like I was dying. While recovering from my knee surgeries I started researching on how to fix myself since my doctors are baffled on my condition and came across your videos. I started implementing what you suggest along with water fasting once a week and my fasting sugars are now under 120, my finger is straightening out, my big toe can bend now, my eye sight is improving and I feel sooooo good! All I can do is cry, Happy tears, because I have a 4 and a 5 year old and was thinking I may not live to see them graduate high school. Thank you so much for your videos! You are beyond awesome! God bless you ❤
Cece TheSagi Fantastic testimonial. God bless you and family.
Wow. Do you have documentation of all this?? Amazing stuff. Please make a video of your experiences. I have been a health nut all my life, training with weights since age 15 (subbed for yoga for a few years, now back to weights) but I was getting FAT! I couldn't stand it. I ate "healthy" was contemplating adding more and more exercise (at 47 yrs old, was daunting), then tried IF and shed 25lbs. I also was getting prostatitis and was fearful it could turn into prostate cancer. I truly believe IF alleviated the condition. Thought my story was great until reading this from you. Again, please make a video, I believe there are many people that are pre-diabetic, and have no idea.
the healthcare industry just treats the symptoms and people are dying.
Happy for u girl
That is awesome. I hope you continue to get better and better!
True, because the drugs that they are giving you create other health problems that they can give you other drugs for. It's just job security for Big Pharma. The rat Bastards. Listen to the Drug commercials, after they rush through telling you all the side effects, you may be better off with your original problem. Sad
Dr berg I should openly confess that during a 3 mo practice of your tips I lost 18 kg , Although as a pediatrician I knew most of what you present but your inspiration and power of speech can help alot . your knowledge is now being multiplied in my office , I help others in a way you do using your fluent understandable points . you are excellent 💐💐appreciation from Iran .
Truely?
He is the best
But how can we get the nutrients if we don’t eat those food?
@@user-jb9wr2xx9d there is lots of nutrients in Moringa look it up it’s great it’s also a supper food and they have it in pills because it doesn’t taste that great.
@@wicked5685 yes It works.
Wow! Thanks for that information Dr Berg. I've been pre-diabetic for years & this video is going to help me turn everything around. I have just learned a whole lot of stuff I didn't know. Thanks again, I love your videos👍
I am so happy to have discovered you. I am pre diabetic and I really eat healthy but I struggle with my weight and everything that you are explaining it truly makes so much sense. I will definitely follow your recommendations plus I will add Apple cider vinegar before meals. And lately I’ve been skipping breakfast and I only have two meals but I was snacking in between with non fat Greek yogurt with berries and that really raises my insulin so I am stopping that. Thank you again for this valuable information.
And how is your progress going, update please
I'm watching this, eating a sugary cereal at midnight, and he says, "that's why we don't snack at night." I have failed before I've started lol
Start tomorrow and you’ve not failed (:>!
We are all failing before we start. Thank goodness we get this fantastic access to information. Good luck with your new nutrition plan :)
🤣🤣
😂😂
Lol.. good job Joe
I lost over 50 pounds and reversed diabetes just by following Dr. berg's directions. So, what if he's not a medical Dr.? I rather follow his advise over the so called medical ones. Thank you very much Dr. Berg, from the bottom of my heart. And may God bless you and your loved ones.
💞💞💞👏👏👏
Absolutely!
I agree
Me too, it’s only been a few days but I can see changes already 😀
@@Clauds71 Awesome. So happy for you.
this has been the most clear, easy to follow and most accurate assessment for my current issues. I'm gonna create an eating exercise plan based on this. Thank you!
The first time I tried Keto I failed because I didn't understand what it was about or how it was connected to my personal health concerns. But after discovering you doing a video about PCOS, I delved further into your videos and found your Keto videos. Since watching you, I now have the knowledge and understanding of what is going on inside of me and why things are the way they are. Not only that, but now I can start to actually fix and heal myself. I have zero doubt in my mind that this time I can actually do this. Thank you so much for giving your time to help others through your videos and knowledge. You're saving lives. I plan on reporting back here once the change is noticeable. Thank you so much Dr. Berg!!! ❤️
Cant believe NO ONE ever bothered to teach this cascade of health facts in nursing school! .Cant help but wonder how many doctors don't understand the importance this makes to our health
Dr Berg, you're the best!
Not sure but I learned all this on animal physiology classes, I am a biology major.
juli victoria these shud be teach in secondary or even primary school
It's almost as if they have been lying to us for the benefit of the large corporations to which our government represents, Here is a question for you What animal consumes another animals milk ? Stupid humans that have been idoctrinated into believing the lie that we should drink cows milk.
juli victoria you are right. I’ve been told that I have protein in my kidneys but no body ever answered my why question. Thank God for Dr Berg!
Why would the medical industry and big pharma keep you unhealthy and with minimal real health info??? Answer: Profits$$
They don't make money if you're healthy, period.
I love this video and although I am not doing the keto diet, I did change my eating habits to speed up my metabolism. I went from 207 lbs - 175 using the basic principles he taught in this video. I have not been this weight for 20 years and went from 36 pants down to a 32 slim fit, as well as L and some XL down to Medium shirts. Thank you Dr. Berg because at 54 I am healthier than I was at 34.
Dwayne Golden what did you exactly do?
how you did it Dwayne? can you give specifics. pls help.
@@Marie-cp4yf I just stopped all grazing and only eating when I eat my meals, and making sure that no eating was after 7. Now I have moved to intermittent fasting and eating twice a day and no grazing. I feel as good as I did 25 years ago (I am currently 54 years old)

You have an inspiring story too. Video?
First time I'm listening to every word Dr says! Calm pleasant voice at good speed,good enough to understand every point. Interesting and exciting performance without unnecessary complexed terminology. Excellent, I subscribed!!👍💯👍
This video was a major eye-opener for me. I have a fatty liver, I dont drink alcohol, and losing weight has been very hard for me. It's scary to think that I have insulin resistance, but I'm grateful that you provided steps to reverse it. Thank you!
I literally just cried watching this. FINALLY someone explained all my symptoms and what is happening to me. I’ve been to Dr after Dr! I’ve already been intermittent fasting (one month with no results :-(. )....but the diet explanation makes so much sense. Been eating all the wrong food for me! Thank you Thank you!
Sheri Roach Thanks for sharing your experience. Any update? How are you feeling?
Sheri Roach j
Major Tom I legit just snorted! Thank you!
I was only 25 pounds over weight, eating healthy vegan who was pre diabetic. Tried everything and guess what? The only thing that worked was intermittent fasting and eliminating all sugar including fruit! I have never felt better and the weight is off! And Dr Berg you are amazing!
Thank you for posting this!
only 25 pounds !?! LOOOL talking about living in lie :)
Najstefaniji ... Oh, do stop trolling...you'll just be more miserable if you don't. There's a reason every single religion on the planet teaches something akin to karma, also known as the Law of Sowing and Reaping. It's because that's how God made this world to work. Whatever you 'sow' into the lives of others, you will 'reap' in your own. You can either send things out that will come back to bless you or bite you in the backside. It's your choice.
OMG!!!! Love this! So true.
Yay congrats! Very happy for you!
Brilliant presentation Doctor! Informative, concise, easy to follow and short enough to to not lose concentration. Love the % table and recap with conclusion. No wonder your video was "lost, no longer on TH-cam." You are helping so many people. Be blessed with guidance.
I watched this video about 4 years ago, I took action (keto and intermittent fasting) I lost weight, felt great...then I slowly drifted back to carbs and gained all the weight back. I've been struggling to get back up and make it a lifestyle change but I keep failing. So I came back to this video to get the science fixed in my mind and get my mind back to my initial why. I am changing my set point and maintain it this time around.
2024 UPDATE.
I failed to stick to keto again, but I finally figured out a better way to lose weight and keep off.
I now do 16:8 to 18:6 IF and eat a bit of carbs for lunch. I have lost 12kg in about 8 months. I don't feel deprived or Hungry, no cravings, no suffering. If I am hungry in the morning I eat a small low carb meal.
all the best in your journey
@@papimami7995 thank you.
You know what to do
That’s cuz it isn’t realistic to cut off a whole food group and you will not be able to maintain it forever. We are going to eat a slice of cake or a cookie once in a while. That’s why I just count calories and try to eat healthy foods but I will eat a cookie or a pizza or ice cream when I want to. It’s impossible for me to say I will cut those foods off forever. Otherwise I will end up binging. I just count my calories. Nothing too restrictive.
@@nadiab7764 I totally agree with you and I have come to the conclusion of July eating healthy, taking longer walks, sleeping better and implement a 16:8 intermittent fasting because I can stick with it long term. I am tired of losing the weight and gaining it all back. I am thinking lifelong commitment now.
I feel like a medical student whenever I watch dr berg.. . I learn so much from this guy.
Me too. He explained everything so good!
Trust medical lecturers go way faster than this, this lecture would be 8 min max at uni combined with loads of new terminology.
But if you're a none medic watching this then you're amazing, not many people can get their heads around this stuff so well done xx
He's just a "knock off" of Jason Fung.

I love the way you explain things Dr. Berg. Very informative and in exactly the right tone for us to hear you. I am so grateful for your video’s. You helped me lose 30 pounds! And I’ve learned to not diet. Just eat the right things and eat at the right times! Thank you!
One of your best videos and explains all the key elements. Thank you Dr Berg. I am following all of your instructions!
I see why youre not on TV and all over the magazine cover and newspaper articles, because there is too much truth. I've been following you for awhile and also reading and watching other doctors/nutritionists who do their research and back up the same information and you pretty much just put a lot of really great points in a short video. Excellent.

Aaa yeah
Would be interesting to see and hear all your qualifications!
But then your not in the medical field. !!! You have no idea, what or who I am. Like you said my credentials are not on the trial here.
T- Bone If he is misinformed then what is the truth?
Thank you Dr Berg, you have changed how I view food. 8 weeks into intermittent fasting, I’ve broken through 8 pounds down, one meal a day (high fat) high fiber , zero cravings, and plenty of good supplements.
Bet
One meal a day and just one pound per week??? Doesnt seem like its doing much for such extreme calorie deficit.
1 pound a week is bad lol
I thought that too, but kudos for losing wait
I was diagnosed with T2D when I was 47, 6"4', and 270 pds. I changed up my diet and lifestyle in the same ways you have. In fact, I lost 12 pds the first month and continued to do that until I balanced at around 205. I also walked, and I also found that mental clarity. Well, now I'm 51 years old, and I've been in diabetic remission for a solid year and a half. I run and weight train daily. I'm now more athletic than ever before in my life. For my 50th birthday month, I ran 300 km in a Canadian January winter. Ill also note I was never a runner before in my life.. It all spawned from the power of a proper way of living.

Keep it up! Life is beautiful.

I felt the same way.
I feel the same. I've done WW, Water fasts, Cleanses, Atkins, NOOM, nothing worked - till this! I eased into it adding a thing or two and taking out a thing or two. Been solid on Keto for about a month, with a few mistakes in my math along the way, but I feel confident I can eat like this for the rest of my life!
It's all about the journey. You'll get to your destination. Enjoy the journey. Godspeed to you.
Fix your diet before getting into higher intensity exercise. You can’t fix a bad diet with exercise. Walk before your first meal, and last meal of the day. The weight literally falls off once your body starts fixing insulin resistance. Cut out processed sugars grains and crappy oils. I am 53 and haven’t felt this good in 25 years Joint pain is gone. A1c is now perfect. I was on cusp of getting the prediabetes dx. Dr. Berg may not be a fitness guru, but I respect his knowledge of nutrition and insulin.
Also follow Thomas DeLauer, Dr Jason Fung, Low Carb DownUnder, for a complete picture.

Glad to help!

I'm 5'8" 230lbs which is definitely fatboy status. Dr told me I had a fatty liver and needed to change asap. Aside from that I have high bp...the list goes on. I'm not 2 weeks in and been eating cleaner and no sugar. I will try to incorporate his strategy by eating 2-3 meals with NO snacking for the next week. In 2 weeks I have lost roughly 10lbs and already feeling more stable energy. Great video...wish me luck!
All the best
How’s the progress going?
Good luck , but brutal discipline will help you win not luck bro, once yer a fat burner you'll feel like a new man , I'm fat too, but way less than I was , the fasting and new set point works I proved it over the winter
Oh how hard to stop sugar. Monkfruit, stevia helps, erythrytol bad for heart.
His voice is like count Dracula when he talks slowly , he hypnotizes you , yes Dr I will obey you

@@biljana042 Why so "cheerful"? Lol.

Damnnn good job
Thank you. Important nuances made more sense to me regarding my specific problems. I also appreciate very much stressing the 'why' before getting to 'what'🌹🌹🌹
Oh my gosh. You have opened my eyes. I have been so disappointed and disillusioned in why I can't lose weight. Thank you, Dr. Berg.
Thank you Dr Berg - This is by far the BEST EVER video i have seen for weight loss. I never feel hungry in the morning and my personal trainer INSISTED that no matter what you got to have breakfast.and also suggested snaking so 5/6 meals! often i was forcing myself to eating. I am now focusing on just 3 meals and i feel much better. THANK YOU SIR.
Jayendra Lakhani I was in the same situation. It was hell. I ended up gaining 36kls. I was accused of lying about what I was eating. Sheeesh
Jayendra Lakhani What the Doctor needs to know and understand that the only way to speed up the metabolism is by building more muscle mass by eating high protein+ low carb and lifting weights, muscle is living tissue and the cells are constantly feeding and consuming calories to stay alive, that is why bodybuilders can eat up to 5,000 calories a day and keep a low body fat, It's as simple as that, muscle eats the fat.
Is the body having a low set point? How long has the person dieted? Are there fatty liver issues? Is the person insulin resistant? What about gender or age? Estrogen levels? The doctor is saying that there are cellular issues needing to be addressed, along with food combinations in order for the fat to be burned. If it was that simple and bodybuilding was effective for all, then there would be lean people all over the world.
The issues are more complex and a person needs to find out what works for them. Giving general blanket advice like this is harmful to people who are insulin resistant with metabolic syndrome issues needing to be addressed.
Yes but if you've got high sugar make sure you don't have low thyroid to fix that also please
Dr. Berg you are a master teacher. You can break down the stuff so well that anybody can understand it!! Chapeau.

World champion strong men eat 5k to 15k daily... Thats super human. This guy is talking about every day ppl
I wish I watched this in 2016. This really help me understand the insulin resistance. Thank you doc.
You’re the best dr Berg. Not many doctors take the time to explain like this.
They don't have a clue. Lol
This explains why I always was able to lose weight on 2 well thought out meals a day with exercise, when everyone told me I was starving myself and that I wouldn't be able to lose anything, and would retain weight instead. I only knew what my body actually responded to so I didn't listen to them. I cut out bread and sugar. It works.
Dr. Berg’s advice has largely helped me to loose 25 lbs 👍💜
Have you reached your ideal body weight yet? I have observed those losing 20 to 120 lbs and keeping it off over 30 years. On a plant based oil free diet.
@@DelgadoProtocol I lost 20lbs after going on the Keto diet,that was 10 yrs ago. Still a lean n mean keto-machine ;)

Jewels M. Wow that's amazing 😻
Thank you very much. I really needed this my metabolism is so slow I doubt I could lose a fourth of a pound right now.
I lost down to around 145 lb 3 years ago.
Then Covid hit and I gained 30 lbs . It is harder to lose it but you gave me some good ways to help with that. I will let you know when I reach my goal.😄
He is so eloquent and I like his voice. Def going to binge watch all his vid so I get to learn how to explain effectively. He does it so well 👏👏👏
I started keto this week and feel way better less fatigue and no more bloated feeling after meals.
Renaissance Man Same here☺️
Renaissance Man just make sure you eat your veggies to protect your liver!
Ok . ..so you startet keto 6 month ago . ...and how is it going now??? Did you succeed ? ? ?
How's it going? Can we have an update? I'm really interested.
@@_JohnDoe I've been on a ketogenic diet for the past month and on day 28 I had lost 12 lbs. Start weight 162. I'm 5' 5" tall and just turned 57yo. I have been challenged with cancer for almost 15 years. Besides dealing with pain and getting tired easily (chemo does that), one of my main issues is "eating". I was on a feeding tube and then my nutrition was "Boost Plus Calories". I'm sick of all that so have been experimenting with foods and liquefying them. Eg. Mashed potatoes laden with gravy to get it all down. I can boil pasta double time and mash it enough to get it down but add liquid, eg... VH Garlic sauce.... Next thing I knew I was a painful blob sitting in a corner doing nothing with my life. If I went to a 3 hour family function it fried me for 2 days. Just travelling from here to there beat me up. So enough is enough is enough already and I needed to take control of my life and with friends living the ketogenic life style I turned to them and the internet. I've done my homework for the most part. I am eating no more than 20 carbs a day... high fat and watching my protein intake. I do use a macro counter but I don't keep a journal. I want to try to keep it really simple but I also want to be sure. My ONLY concern is, am I taking in enough calories!!! I know that calorie intake is not as important as the "quality" of what I am ingesting and digesting but with that said, my calorie intake are still extremely low in my opinion. I just don't know and cannot find anything on the internet. My "Carb Manager" program suggest I have no more than 1,012 calories a day and then my macros are based on that but I'm only consuming anywhere between 300-700 calories. Is this OK???!!! I don't know yet. So I do 12 hour intermittent fasting all the time. I have "my" POWER COFFEE around 4am (Bullet Proof coffee that I add a home made mixture of particular spices to). I drink 2 about an hour apart... sometimes 3. I drink close to a gallon of water daily. Two or 3 times a day I have a big glass of water and add apple cider vinegar, Himalayan salt and a splash of lemon juice. If you don't like the taste of it just chuck it down and be done with it :-) A few times a week I will add some cayenne pepper to this water mix. I will have green tea in the afternoon and sometimes add ginger or my "spice mix". I've made my own bone broth and sip on that sometimes too - it freezes well in portions so it's quick & convenient too. Then I have my meal between 4-5pm. A meal example for me would be sockey salmon, (I'll have chicken/turkey/sardines/ham and occasionally beef), 2 fried eggs, maybe some cauliflower (I pretend it's mashed potatoes), and spinach. I love fish and spinach!!!! How do I liquefy all this for my individualized diet??? Well I take some bone broth and add the high fiber flax seed meal and it thickens it and I use that for gravy :-) I will also add some sour cream and/or a salsa sauce of sorts. I have nothing but water after my meal. I'm in bed between 8-10pm. All this to say I've NEVER felt better!!!!! That MCT oil (I call it coconut oil on steroids) gives me soooooooooo much energy that I've done my spring cleaning and it's just the beginning of Feb!!!!! I think my cleaning lady has just lost her job :-) I am so full of energy that I sometimes don't know what to do with myself. I don't exercise much but for small walks and I'll "dance" my way around the house. I do the odd squats... I will get into a small exercise routine but I'll never "work out"!! I still do get tired but then I'm a "wired-tired". I can cope with that for the most part. I've been on a kazillion different pain meds over the years without success but just this past fall I discovered an awesome pain remedy and it totally works and I'm so thrilled about that but it costs me min. $150.00 a month out of my pocket that I just can't afford but I will never go back to that pain so I just manage somehow. My specialist told me just this fall that my pain is directly related to my vast radiation and there is nothing they can do (like more surgury). WELL NOW....for the past week now, I have NOT taken this expensive pain med because I'm NOT feeling pain!!! Is it this diet??? Is it something that has naturally happened in my body??? I don't know!!!! I don't care.... I'm not only feeling soooooooooooo waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better with an energy level I haven't had in forever and no severe pain (it was on a scale of 1-10, a continuous flare of 14).... many days were spent in bed!!! Not anymore!! Whooooooooooo hoooooooooooooooo!!!!! I do not have a weight goal. I will know when I feel good about my weight.... I'm thinking around 120lbs or so. I am doing this for a ketogenic life style and the weight loss is just a bonus. With my circumstance as they are I do have to work at ensuring I am getting all the good nutrition I need... potassium, magnesium etc.... so this continues to be a work in progress. I will NOT go out and pay for all these advertised Keto this or Keto that. My friends never had to plus I've heard and read too many stories about them. Like I said, I want to keep it simple and carefree.... low carb & high fat with a proper ratio of protein. Oh and I've fasted once for 48 hours at the beginning of this diet. Today I am choosing to have a "liquid" day. I can't call it a fast because I'm having my POWER COFFEE and that breaks any fast. So that's my story and how I'm working things and so far it's all working for me. My only QUESTION is..... IS say, 500 calories a day OK as long as your macros are in balance??? I'm feeling GREAT after a month with lots of energy and drinking plenty of water and trying to keep up on proper/good nutrition. I REALLY wish I could find something on this. They say eat when you are hungry and I do and they say stop when you are full.... but to get more calories in, by the time I'm done my meal I'm stuffed. I don't want to eat 2-3 meals a day because every time you put something in your mouth it spikes your insulin and I don't want that either. Besides, I'm just not hungry. I'm coming off a 100% Boost diet so I'm used to not "eating". I also have no cravings because I haven't been able to eat chips and cupcakes, donuts etc for years so certainly not an issue. I wish everyone else a great journey on their Keto diet/life style. I sure would love to hear your story an how you are all doing with it and if anyone can help me out with suggestions/ideas and answer my "calorie" issue I'd be very grateful. Cheers all. Joanne
His advice on eating when hungry is so true, people don't realize how long they can go without going hungry, in some parts of words people fast from dawn to dusk (normally 13 hours) and usually don't feel hungry until the last hour. also eating on a schedule is partly responsible for gas and shorten breath and drowsiness. the idea is not to eat when you are starving, just until you are almost about to go hungry. Besides all food taste good when you are hungry.
I don't agree with that since you can induce that artificially by habit. If you will organize your meals (no matter how many) in the same way for few days, your brain will register that frequency and will "warn" you that he's hungry around those specific hours. Try it and you will see.
If you take the supplement thrive which is a stimulant you'll stop wanting to eat in the middle of the day that also works for many
After watching this I had been doing this without knowing this for the last 7 years and felt I had broken my routine all apart especially during covid. I used to have BLD 5 years ago and for the last 5 years for some reason reduced to LD without knowing. I never had or felt any snacking ever in my life between meals. The only extra thing I had is consume beer that has zero carbs at dinner time. Thanks for fixing my mind now.
@Vasanth gutta: Can you please let me know what BLD and LD is?
It's so funny that literally iam binge watching this guy and it's never been regretful or boring
Yo I gotta say. I’ve watched your videos for two years and have NEVER gotten keto/IF 100% right. But I always keep watching and learning information. And the whole time, even though I was never doing keto/IF PERFECTLY, I still lost weight. Just because I switched my mindset from EXERCISE/COUNT CALORIES to *just watch your blood sugar*
That was all it took. Just a lil education. Nothing perfect.
You hit the nail on the head when you said it's very unnatural to lose weight. The body just doesn't want to make big changes to itself. I think we all know this on some level. Thank you for another wonderful presentation.
I managed to gain quite a bit pretty easily, tho. Lol. After eating whatever I wanted for 30 years. And gaining next to nothing
I agree with Eric on his comment. You are an excellent teacher as well. Thank you. You make learning fun and I retain more. Thank you so much.
Never had anyone articulate 🤔 this or anything in my life to such a degree where I didn't even have to look anything up. You sir are a Godsend 👏👏👏👏
It’s so easy to listen to him. Gaining so much knowledge. Priceless!
It is rare to see somebody talk about the set point. Good video
Thank you Dr. Berg. You are bringing me back to a healthy body. God Bless you
Dr Berg you are an incredible teacher!!!!!
Thank you for your invaluable information !!!!!& making me & my family live a Healthy Life!!!!You are Brave !!!!!!to stand up and tell the Truth!!!!Sending you & your family blessings & much happiness!!!!!!💖💖💖🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
I feel like I found the jackpot to all my problems...... THANK U SO MUCH DR BERG
Me too LOL
My set point for the last 36 years has been 152 pounds, this was the weight I reached during pregnancy. I have always felt very comfortable with it but always knew that I was overweight. Believe me I have tried every diet in the world and it always crept back to 152. Thank you Dr. Eric for now I am in control and I will achieve my ideal weight of 125. So far I have lost 15 pounds in four weeks and I have never ever felt better. I am already fasting😊. And believe it or not since I work in the travel industry I don’t have to travel with snacks or drinks or a freaking candy bar in my purse anymore I can go around the world and not eat for a while. For me that is a blessing and no stress while working. What a huge relief. And, those two guys I had that caused my set point: are on Keto also.
itzme drwho I so relate to you
Hehwjewgwh
I have had the same experience with my weight after being pregnant. I can’t wit to finally lose the weight and be healthier!
And now . ..how is it going ?
If I weighed 152 lbs I would be shouting and praising God so loud people would think I ve lost it
Oh my God Dr Berg is the best, I have learnt so much about health issues since finding his video on the internet. This is so refreshing and a big eye opener. I am learning so much, and want to say thank you!
Thank you so much Dr. Berg! You're so educating and help me to change my life. I love the way you serve us all the details step by step
Minus the diabetes, he just explained my whole life in 1 video! Thank you 🙌🏽☺️🙌🏽 Dr. Berg for President 2020! 🇺🇸
Just as an FYI, Im European and the EU don't allow many of the chemicals that the US allows in their food e.g there are additives in your mcDonalds fries that arent in ours (even tho its the same company), plus u guys put extra hormones in ur beef (not allowed in the UK), plus u chlorinate your chicken, also not allowed here. you guys have no idea how many extra weird chemicals ur all eating just cos ur government allow it.
I have to agree, when I stop by a market(I will not name) I read a label for chicken breast and when I read, NOT used with Clorinated water, I couldn't believe it!! The reason I switched and tried this market, because I notice chicken just didnt taste the same in other stores that had the NAME brand poultry. I tasted a huge difference, and I will never go back to that name brand chicken.
Not true there are many chemicals in meat and other foods in the UK.
Chicken for example is injected with a lot.
And there is no a lot of vegetables available as well as fish and seafood.
But there is a huge amount of frozen food.
I not only gotten sick but put weight on.After moving here, and i was eating the same as i did before i moved here from The Netherlands.
Our government is trying to kill us off
I heard they use chlorine dioxide on the chicken. Chlorine dioxide is very healthy...google it !! Otherwise I think all tthe chemicals will make you want to stop eating just thinking about 'em !!
You are exactly right! It should be a crime what is happening to our food. We are getting poisoned everyday!
Seriously Dr Berg. You are a treasure!! Watching you from Uganda and I have never so much about the body and the function of each organ as I have here.
I have learned so much from your video's. I struggled for years with weight loss, dieting and I did not understand "what" I was suppose to do. So many things that I thought I was doing right was working against me. Now I am following your suggestions and I feel SO good, I am loosing weight and exactly what you say came true "I am not hungry or suffering from cravings that would steal my self esteem" I thank you so much for all your work you have put into these videos and products-Dr Berg You have saved my life. Sincerely, 59 year old grandmother of 8, regaining my life back.
Hi there
Finally!! I don't have to feel guilty for not feeling hungry in the morning. Thanks great info!
LISA RICH Lol. People seem desperate to feel guilty over all kinds of things nowadays tho 😂😂
LISA RICH imnot either andit scares me because im told to eat alotbin the day and not at night
Your first meal the day should be breakfast to get good fats you need butter olive oil or olives or avocado
I am from India. I have been suffering with high insulin levels since 2003. Visited a no. of doctors but my problem remained unsolved till date. I am always hungry, weak, no energy for anything. I am a living corpse. Thx a lot doctor for giving a solution to my chronic problem. I thank you and bless you.
How is it going?
God bless you sir. I pray for your healing.
You explain this so well. My mom, a diabetic; somehow ended up with a fatty liver and not one Primary Care Physician picked it up. I went for a visit and told my Dad you need to get her to a doctor. He looked at me like, what's my problem? Unfortunately, three months later; she went into the emergency room with liver disease Stage 4. Don't put it off; get checked out.
They'll only learn as they get sued for malpractice more often, apparently...
You should see what steroid cream can do to someone. Extremely severe allergic reactions. Imagine every centimer of skin, PAINFUL. bright beet red.
They gave me that. TWICE, b/c they didn't look at the friggin chart from LAST time they gave it to me.
Coco oil? Yeah, one dose and it quit itching. I was clawing at my neck.
I am so grateful for the day i found his channel 🙏🏻🌟❤ You are amazing dr Berg!!!! Thanks for all your effort.
His delivery is so smooth and easy to understand I wish I knew about him a lot longer
This is where I would tell anybody to go to get good advice cuz you can understand him
I'm praying for you, blessed man. Thank you for blessing us.

Excellent discussion combining the threads of anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, nutrition and endocrinology to create a mosaic of understanding about insulin resistance and the metabolic problems it causes.....with some very good suggestions about what to do about it. Thank you Dr.Berg.....I really do like eating a few of your Nutritional Yeast tablets during my daily 16 hours of intermittent fasting.😇
Thank you for explaining this...I had heard bits and pieces of some of these facts but you put it together and connected the dots for me haha. I've noticed my metabolism slow down and I get light headed/see stars when I exercise (not all the time, mainly when going up hill when I have to work harder than normal)...I'm thinking it's low blood sugar as it's worse when I don't eat or eat something sugary like fruit or a fruit smoothie before hand...I think this video explains why that's happening, and now I know the foods to eat! Gonna test out higher fat foods, especially before exercise, and see if that helps! I already have been trying the 2 meals a day thing and trying to only eat when I'm hungry, didn't know it helped with this so that worked out well haha
How are you breathing? Sleep apnea? Do you snore? Getting 10-20 IU vitamin D?
That can cause that kind of problem.
Also, if I recall right, B1. W lightheadness.
By watching your videos I feel like I am sitting in a medical school auditorium and getting top ok the line training and education! God bless you for this ! 🙏
Thanks bebe, you want my body really, 😋💋
It's funny how medical doctors don't talk about insulin making cholesterol lol. They tell you don't eat fats and gives you meds ☹️☹️☹️
I think doctors tend to simplify their words when talking to a patient because not everyone knows medical terms.
@@CB-pk9ur yes, and i guess they wouldnt want to be rude with saying stuff Like "you need to eat way less fat' or "oh god you are fat!" Or whatever.
and they want their drug company kick backs when they put you on a statin for high cholesterol.

All othe doctors can just go away :) All doctors need more training in nutrition.. they only cover nutrition for a WEEK in medical school which is MINDBLOWINGLY stupid...
Thank you Dr. How calm and composed you are. Great knowledge is being shared..
This was amazing!!! Thank you so much for a clear explanation
Glad you find this video helpful.
This guy is the best, I learn so much plus he knows how to make it enjoyable and understandable at the same time 👌🏾😁😊🇨🇩
Revisiting some older videos of his and it's amazing to see his own weight loss transformation.
Resistance training is how you “fix” a slow metabolism. Btw your metabolism isn’t “broken” in the first place. It’s called adaptation and your body burns calories at a rate that your body needs. Low percentage muscle mass = slower metabolism, higher percentage muscle mass = fast metabolism.
Yeppers
Not exactly. Please read the Secret Life of Fat. Library has it. Your mentality causes extreme bias for larger people. It's not that simple. Fat people hike and do all kinds of stuff. I walk most people under the table, easy. 5+ miles a day. You can still be fat and exercise.
If you are or were heavier, it's not the same as of you never were fat.
Even dogs. Have you ever seen a fat greyhound? I have others that you have to watch their food very carefully.
Wow! This has been life changing info!! I work as a licensed massage therapist and I tell as many of my clients as possible about your you tube page! You are a blessing!💪🤗✨💝

I love all of ur videos Doctor it’s really helpful thank you so much for giving us all those healthy stuff looking forward to talking a notes
bruno very proud of you. im starting my journey today. All these fads on diets got old and didnt work, i had to stop and look at myself and not be like everyone else. I had to start loving myself first and not worry about what society says. Society tells us how we should look and feel--- no way!!!! There are reasons why we all are different and look different. People are overweight because of issues we dont know about- i could be heredity etc... Same as those that are underweight. So when society puts these pictures in our minds that we need to look like this to be accepted, its a bunch of crap. Learning to love yourself is not easy believe me i know, but once u start to like the little pieces of you and surround yourself with likeminded people it becomes easier. I didnt know half of my problem until Dr. Berg made it easy to understand. Thats what was missing- someone taking the time to really make it simple and easy to enjoy the lecture- instead of crammimg it down.. Its gonna be a journey but im with each and everyone of you who are struggling... WE GOT THIS!!!!!!!
