You show em how its done! I can relate im 46 but am recovering from brain damage and a six year illness. If someone would have told me even 2 years ago that i would be this fit i would have thought they were crazy. Super crazy.
Omg!!! That’s exactly what my body is going through! The saggy nasty looking thighs! At 48, my body changed what it seemed like overnight! I haven’t been sleeping. Finally I saw an anti aging doctor. I starting sleeping, stop cravings with olive oil around 7 pm. Biotin & other vitamins. I slept for 10 nights straight and lost 7 lbs, 2% BFI.

It's actually amazing how long this process can actually take post menopause. I've been OMAD, Ketovore for six months straight, strength and cardio training now 5-6 days a week and have only lost 15 pounds. I still have another 15 to go. I was really discouraged after 4 months, but now I just keep doing it, knowing that at 54 this is not a race like it was in my 40's.
I agree about the weight. My weight did not change much but I went down 2 clothes sizes. My fat back disappeared, I have now a shapely back. I am more than 50 yrs old and I do weighlifting. Currently, my measurement is 37-30-37.
Daisy Swan I hope that happens for me. I honestly don't care what the scale says, I just want to look better in my clothes and get rid of the stupid back fat that hangs over my sports bra. Yuck!

What he's saying does not make sense about the 2 lb. maximum. There are water faster who have dropped 18 pounds in one month. There is simply NO WAY that they dropped 18 pounds or water, sorry.
This is the first time I have heard about atrophy in the muscles during menopause. This explains a lot! Thank you Dr. Berg. I'm off to buy some kale :)
@@paulaalmeidareastephens3317 Have you tried Lacinato Kale (aka Dinosaur Kale) ? It's texture is more like a rubbery spinach and much less bitter. It's wonderful in a low temp stir fry with onions and red bell peppers. I also chop it small and include it in every soup and stew. It kind of disappears with carrots and potatoes
Microneedling the areas of stretch remarks, excess cellulite, and so forth really helps open channels to promote collagen production. This helps me with reducing my cellulite. Also I highly recommend a vibration plate to improve lymphatic system, improve circulation, which reduces cellulite, and you can raise your heart rate for over all height.
When I work out daily, I feel GREAT, and I’m in my 60s. A good night’s sleep is all it takes for me to fully recover from workouts. Kiwis are very high in Vit C, as are many other fruits. A staple for me. So don’t take extra Vit C, just from foods. But take loads of other supplements anti inflammatory like Boswellia, Tumeric, Cat’s claw. Also brain supplements like GABA, Theanine, Lion’s mane, fish oil and yes antioxidants like CoQ10, EGCg, Pycnogenol etc. Eat tons of deep baby greens daily along with Sprouts of broccoli and mixed beans. But haven’t tried the amino acids he talks about at bedtime. But I just about never get sore, so not sure I’d benefit.
Iv lost 27 kilos doing a keto diet, and iv been going to a gym for as long as I can remember! I do a lot of squats with and with out weight in my opinion my cellulite has not reduced at all !!!!
This information is amazing!! All the time I was in the gym 24/7, eating right, and still not losing the weight....it all make sense!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!🚩
I just take time to enjoy them gym, not enjoy losing weight. And I am losing weight and trimming quickly! I did stop eating g sugar which reduced the belly fat. Every once un a while I have my sugar binge them Stop and eat healthy the rest of the week. Drink apple cidar vinegar drinks from health food store which regulates sugar cravings. Also I make a ginger garlic onion fruit smoothie. Its spicy and I can only drink a little at a time. Anyway, I know and am seeing that I didnt put on the weight in a day and I wont take it off in a day. When I learned to enjoy the journey and relax, do what I can in they gym and increase good vitamins and proteins, I saw weight loss starting with inches over time. Hope this helps!
My Medical Doctor, who is also a D.O., prayed that I find a Chiropractor to learn from because nutrition has once saved my life when a regular medical doctor could not help me medically any longer. Doctor Berg has helped me so much through Dr. Berg 's videos.
Leucine, isoleucine and valine are also known as branched-chain amino acids (BCAA). They most definitely should NOT be taken at night because valine is a stimulant. I found this out the hard way by taking before bed as recommended and subsequently staying up all night. Grrrrrr.... I now take BCAAs first thing in the morning.
This video really helped me. Since going keto, I'm packing on muscle like I haven't since my 30s, but not loosing weight. I can feel and see the muscle. I feel stronger, healthier, better, but no weight loss. This video helped me understand why.
Stumbled upon this video and It explains why I’m not losing weight after exercising everyday and not eating, carbs, sugar, dairy, meat and no alcohol for two months. I have been disappointed by the scale even tho my body appears to be smaller along with how my clothes now fit. Thank you doctor, I was on a limb over here. 😩😩
Thank you Dr Berg. This is week six. I am down 9 kg and am stuck on this weight for the past week. I am however losing centimeters around my waist and thighs. Have introduced running 3 times a week to my routine.(following the NHS couch to 5km podcasts). Thanks to you I am not giving up. As a nurse I thought I knew a lot! Your daily sound bites have educated me. 5 weeks of no sugar! My husband is in shock :) Following my BMI too, another few points and will finally be in the 'overweight' category. My highest BMI was 38!
so that's why when you start to eat healthy in the beginning you will often will not lose weight but will instead build up muscle. later once the muscle atrophy has been rectified your body will then begin to burn fat.
Eating sugar can make you retain water from the generalized inflammation it causes. I lose a lot of weight the first 2 weeks after going completely off sugar and grains, then settle down to around 2 pounds a week.
this clip is by far the best,most understandable lil primer on the topic of fat loss and muscle integrity ive yet to view. Eric Berg is easy on the eyes and ears and makes his topics so very easy to understand! I know my body abd its limits way better for this one!! great stuff
Thank you for this video. Even more so, thank you for your tone and information. You came across as supportive, informative, and really as one who cares rather than judgmental. Thank you for the education. I really appreciate you explaining the natural stages that are impacting women.
He is indeed awesome! Dr. Berg, I started the keto diet about two weeks ago and I see it’s working but into the second week, sleep has eluded me and cannot sleep at all. I sleep for 2-3 hours at night and I am wild awake. Example- last night. I slept around 10:20pm and I was fast awake at 12:37 midnight and couldn’t go back to sleep. I am having skin paresthesias, burning all over. I am 41 years. Please help so I can do to sleep. Thank you!
Dr. Berg, I never go on the scale. I only judge my health by what my body says and how my clothes fit. I am excited by this. I am looking forward to my health being better by less flabbiness of my muscles. Thank you for the information
Hi, I don't digest oils well. What then? I clean houses 4 days a week, 5 to six hours with little to no breaks. I am typically exhausted as I drive home😔 53 yrs old. I don't have much soreness.. sleep is not so great, I go to bed by 10, wake up at 4 or 5 can't stay a sleep past that window. I will try this. I'm thin but saggy skinned🥴
God bless you Dr. thank you for your help I'm learning so much how to eat the right food What you are saying is true muscles are repairing and clothes is geting loose. this is what happening to me. Thank you Jesus!!😄
Thank you for educating me in a way I can understand .. I started off with great weight loss then noticed that even though I looked thinner I was not seeing it on the scales! Now I don't use scales at all as I realise I am building muscle and I can really see that in my thighs ... thank you so much you really have changed my life forever x
I lost 22 pounds in 7 weeks. There was a week that my weight doesn’t go down, but I listen to Dr. Berg and didn’t give up there after my weight start to go down again. I’d like to believe that was my plateau week when it still shrinking inside. Thank your for inside information.
I'm 32 went through a very stressful time and my legs are starting to look like I'm 82 years old. That is how I came to this video.. I really don't know what to do and hope these tips can help me out
Excellent video with real insight. Thank you. At last someone who makes sense and doesn't come out with that 'calories in, calories out' simplistic clap-trap,
Omg that was so helpful, I’m shrinking slightly esp around waist , but staying same weight, early menopause at 37, 44 now and just started intermittent fasting 👍🙂
53 and still have plenty of estrogen and periods every 27 days. My 3 pregnancies produced 3 babies and I never took The Pill. Dancing, riding my Duc and hiking with my dog are the extent of my working out. I eat, sleep, etc for my hormones. My body likes me at 140 (I'm 5'3") and size 6. If I get below 135, hormones start messing with me a bit. I'll take a large handful of boob and a pooch over a flat stomach and chest ribs showing anyday. Live people! Live! Live! Live!
Don't get too proud lol. I was that way and nobody could believe my age but at 58 it changed and I have to watch it and work at it. My periods went to age 57. It is indeed a blessing to have long estrogen life though.
@@grainiac7824 Huh. Interesting perspective. I think you missed the point. But then, nobody could ever understand why I called the stage of independence for my toddlers "The Terrific Twos", and not "The Terrible Twos".

And you have a cute screen name btw.
Thank you Dr. Burg. This helped me a lot. I am frustrated and refuse to get on a scale anymore for now. I had hoped building muscle is what my body has been doing but I wasnt sure. I've had little weight loss number wise in the last 2 months, but my clothes fit very differently. So I find this video very encouraging and heelpful. I started this journey to get healthy. Knowing weight loss is going to be a key player in that healthiness, but I also knew my lack of good health played a key roll.

David Beard Hey guys(: Anyone ever tried the Fat Blaze Factor (search on google)? Ive heard a number of amazing stuff about it and my friends brother burned alot of excess fats with it.
No because he doesn't seem to bother reading the comments particularly those requesting the details he said he'd promised to write but didn't & that was a year ago.
Lori B I was JUST thinking about that...my gf uses it ALL the time and moringa in her smoothies...she’s in upper 40s and in GREAT SHAPE (sidebar:she also NEVER eats after 7pm). 👍🏼
Love the vid...it really opened my eyes. However, no thoughts of how much to take for the supplements? There must be a recommendation as we know supplements must be balanced. If anyone has a thought, please let me know...appreciated :)
gym 3 times a week I pop in and do 15 min EXCERCISE on elipticle and u r correct .. I haven't lost wt yet but I walk better feel better look better. a little elipticle goes along way!! plus I do 125 sit ups. just a start but I advise anyone to try an elipticle machine for cardio low impact EXCERCISE and stick with it. thank you Dr for your advice, I am going to take my vitamins at nite now!!

Thank you so much for this video! It is the most comprehensive, yet easy to understand description of what is happening with my body as I am entering the menopause phase. Thank you and I look forward to trying the supplements you suggested!
dr berg do you offer these yet?? It would be great if you put this together as a kit!!!! Along with a great work out routine Love what you are doing for mankind thank you
The problem with taking before bed is doesn't all these things give you energy? I know BCAA does and that is what the 1st three things listed are. I also know any B vitamin is to be taken in the morning for energy also.
I'm 62 and normal weight but have saggy thighs. Have fibromyalgia and the day after exercise have horrible fatigue. Even after 15 minute slow walk. I'm gonna try the supplements you suggest.
He clearly states what the supplements are: Valine, Leucine, Iso-leucine and the co-factors (vitamins that assist the aminos) B3, B6 and Vitamin C; lastly, Omega 3 in the form of Flax Oil. He then instructs to take the aminos at night before bed bc that is when the body repairs itself. I, personally, would take the co-factors and fish oils in the morning bc B vitamins can rev you up. I gleaned that from one listen of the video.
Great scott!!!! You have just saved me a stroke and a nervous breakdown. I have gone to 3 different doctors all saying it’s just age and you’re post menapausal. I think it’s this atrophy.... it is the only explanation for all of a sudden droopy thighs and butt and I do 22 flights of 16 stairs/each flight. My legs and butt were fine, now something weird is happening and I am always sore. I think it’s with my b vitamins - I’m starting amino acids and b vitamins tomorrow. Thank you so very much for this info dr Berg!!!
I wish I'd had this information years ago! My body seemed to fall apart when I hit menopause. I went from 58kg to 71kg in 18 months and I felt so gross. Everything either buldged, giggled or drooped and despite working out or going for long walks every day I couldn't lose any weight and it was so depressing. A week ago I started intermittent fasting and taking ACV before meals and before bed. I'm feeling so much more energetic and any cravings I had for carbs or sweet food have completely disappeared. Now I've watched this video and I FINALLY understand what's been going on with my body and what I need to do to get back in shape. Thankyou so much! 😊
I'm experiencing this; scale's not moving, but I'm getting leaner and tummy's flatter. I feel great at 48, but I'm glad he explained it. I'll look into those supplements.
I really needed to hear this. THANK YOU! I am only down 13# after a month of Keto. But I’m down 5 pant sizes. The scale is not changing but my clothes are swimming. I’m doing a lot of IF and now kicking up 24 hour dry fasting and water fasts. It can be very frustrating to see the scale going up (muscle rebuilding) at this stage, but hearing you explain it-really helps! You’re the best!
This is good news for me as I started a fitness routine after a 2 year break. I quit alcohol. I am now eating small amount of good quality healthy food for the last couple of months and although my clothes are beginning to sit a little looser my weight has actually gone up by 7 lbs ! i nearly cried and gave up.
WOW. I just started using magnesium gummies and i can already tell the difference. I was a lover of anything and everything sweet. I have noticed a big change . Thanks for sharing❗
Maria Colburn hey it had been a week on magnesium tablets and I can honestly say I am sleeping better at night. No restless legs or cramps. Started Intermittent fasting and Keto the past week have had headache and tired but feeling better today. Thanks for getting me into msgnesium😘

actually eating fat will stop the sugar craving
Kale is so disgusting tho lol I tried it after seeing one of his vids - just had to say this hee hee
I take pure unflavored protein powder twice per day that contains all the Amino acids.
@@paulaalmeidareastephens3317 Have you tried Lacinato Kale (aka Dinosaur Kale) ? It's texture is more like a rubbery spinach and much less bitter. It's wonderful in a low temp stir fry with onions and red bell peppers. I also chop it small and include it in every soup and stew. It kind of disappears with carrots and potatoes
I DO EVERYTHING CONSCIOUSLY EAT SLEEP EXERCISE I LEARNT TO ENJOY EACH MOMENT OF LIFE! AND PLAY CONSCIOUSLY
get healthy to lose weight, don't lose weight to get healthy!
Just need to tell the rest of the Western world now! Way too many mirrors at the gym.
Well put.
I think both work, sometimes we don't have a choice.
How ???
Microneedling the areas of stretch remarks, excess cellulite, and so forth really helps open channels to promote collagen production. This helps me with reducing my cellulite. Also I highly recommend a vibration plate to improve lymphatic system, improve circulation, which reduces cellulite, and you can raise your heart rate for over all height.
When I work out daily, I feel GREAT, and I’m in my 60s. A good night’s sleep is all it takes for me to fully recover from workouts. Kiwis are very high in Vit C, as are many other fruits. A staple for me. So don’t take extra Vit C, just from foods. But take loads of other supplements anti inflammatory like Boswellia, Tumeric, Cat’s claw. Also brain supplements like GABA, Theanine, Lion’s mane, fish oil and yes antioxidants like CoQ10, EGCg, Pycnogenol etc. Eat tons of deep baby greens daily along with Sprouts of broccoli and mixed beans. But haven’t tried the amino acids he talks about at bedtime. But I just about never get sore, so not sure I’d benefit.
Thanks you for your input!!
Iv lost 27 kilos doing a keto diet, and iv been going to a gym for as long as I can remember! I do a lot of squats with and with out weight in my opinion my cellulite has not reduced at all !!!!
This information is amazing!! All the time I was in the gym 24/7, eating right, and still not losing the weight....it all make sense!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!🚩
I just take time to enjoy them gym, not enjoy losing weight. And I am losing weight and trimming quickly! I did stop eating g sugar which reduced the belly fat. Every once un a while I have my sugar binge them Stop and eat healthy the rest of the week. Drink apple cidar vinegar drinks from health food store which regulates sugar cravings. Also I make a ginger garlic onion fruit smoothie. Its spicy and I can only drink a little at a time. Anyway, I know and am seeing that I didnt put on the weight in a day and I wont take it off in a day. When I learned to enjoy the journey and relax, do what I can in they gym and increase good vitamins and proteins, I saw weight loss starting with inches over time. Hope this helps!
This guy is so smart! I have been trying to explain this to my trainer!! I'm in menopause!!!
My Medical Doctor, who is also a D.O., prayed that I find a Chiropractor to learn from because nutrition has once saved my life when a regular medical doctor could not help me medically any longer. Doctor Berg has helped me so much through Dr. Berg
's videos.
I love it when it says don't exercise every day. "Rest longer". I will yes thank you. Lol.
I am resting for my health. Very good.
😂😂😂😂😂 3/15/21 @ 2:10P.
Me too👍😀
No I don’t want to exercise everyday.......I do want to rest longer 😂😂🙌🏼
@@easeondowntheroad7158 normally a person who exercises everyday are body builders and actors etc. I workout maybe once or twice a week.
Leucine, isoleucine and valine are also known as branched-chain amino acids (BCAA). They most definitely should NOT be taken at night because valine is a stimulant. I found this out the hard way by taking before bed as recommended and subsequently staying up all night. Grrrrrr.... I now take BCAAs first thing in the morning.
Anon Bee agreed
Do you know if you can mix this w electrolytes?
When he said that , I was thinking the same but was like well he is the Dr...
This video really helped me. Since going keto, I'm packing on muscle like I haven't since my 30s, but not loosing weight. I can feel and see the muscle. I feel stronger, healthier, better, but no weight loss. This video helped me understand why.
Glad to know the video helped!
Dr. Eric Berg DC
Helpful video but are there any food sources of these BCAAs? I prefer food to the supplements when at all possible? Thanks....
very helpful
Stumbled upon this video and It explains why I’m not losing weight after exercising everyday and not eating, carbs, sugar, dairy, meat and no alcohol for two months. I have been disappointed by the scale even tho my body appears to be smaller along with how my clothes now fit. Thank you doctor, I was on a limb over here. 😩😩
Muscle weighs more than fat. Observe your progress through how how body appears and clothing fit. :-)
Thank you Dr Berg. This is week six. I am down 9 kg and am stuck on this weight for the past week. I am however losing centimeters around my waist and thighs. Have introduced running 3 times a week to my routine.(following the NHS couch to 5km podcasts). Thanks to you I am not giving up. As a nurse I thought I knew a lot! Your daily sound bites have educated me. 5 weeks of no sugar! My husband is in shock :)
Following my BMI too, another few points and will finally be in the 'overweight' category. My highest BMI was 38!
Omg I REALLY needed to hear this. I was so frustrated that I wasn’t loosing weight even though it looked like it. Thank you so much!
so that's why when you start to eat healthy in the beginning you will often will not lose weight but will instead build up muscle. later once the muscle atrophy has been rectified your body will then begin to burn fat.
Peter Davies I hope so!
Eating sugar can make you retain water from the generalized inflammation it causes. I lose a lot of weight the first 2 weeks after going completely off sugar and grains, then settle down to around 2 pounds a week.
I can never thank you enough for this information. You are the reason Im not diabetic.♥ I have learned so much from you. I tell everyone about you.
this clip is by far the best,most understandable lil primer on the topic of fat loss and muscle integrity ive yet to view. Eric Berg is easy on the eyes and ears and makes his topics so very easy to understand! I know my body abd its limits way better for this one!! great stuff
Thank you for this video. Even more so, thank you for your tone and information. You came across as supportive, informative, and really as one who cares rather than judgmental. Thank you for the education. I really appreciate you explaining the natural stages that are impacting women.
Dr. Berg.....This was probably the most informative video I have ever watched......and I watch a lot!!!
Thank you for working so hard at Making America Healthy Again❤
First week on keto/intermittent fasting. Feel great, and no cravings. Down 4 lbs in 6 days.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how gorgeous Dr Berg is?😍
mmm agree
It's like I have a question about what's going on with my body ... & Dr Berg has the answer. THANK YOU so much!!
This is my No.1 fave health channel, Dr Berg explains things so well, I totally take in the info and it stays in my brain. Thanks so much Doc! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
He is indeed awesome! Dr. Berg, I started the keto diet about two weeks ago and I see it’s working but into the second week, sleep has eluded me and cannot sleep at all. I sleep for 2-3 hours at night and I am wild awake. Example- last night. I slept around 10:20pm and I was fast awake at 12:37 midnight and couldn’t go back to sleep. I am having skin paresthesias, burning all over. I am 41 years. Please help so I can do to sleep. Thank you!
The flesh softens so the soul might emerge ...
Interesting comment. I like it. We get so involved on what's on the outside (physical) we don't think about the inside (spiritual.)
🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣😂
Just popping in to say that your pic made me instantly stop scrolling. It's an MJ thing. 😘
For how many months need to take these supplements. Does it have any side effects
Excellent video. Love the way he speaks. Informative AND soothing.
Dr. Berg, I never go on the scale. I only judge my health by what my body says and how my clothes fit. I am excited by this. I am looking forward to my health being better by less flabbiness of my muscles. Thank you for the information
Hi, I don't digest oils well. What then? I clean houses 4 days a week, 5 to six hours with little to no breaks. I am typically exhausted as I drive home😔 53 yrs old. I don't have much soreness.. sleep is not so great, I go to bed by 10, wake up at 4 or 5 can't stay a sleep past that window. I will try this. I'm thin but saggy skinned🥴
God bless you Dr. thank you for your help I'm learning so much how to eat the right food What you are saying is true muscles are repairing and clothes is geting loose. this is what happening to me. Thank you Jesus!!😄
Thank you for educating me in a way I can understand .. I started off with great weight loss then noticed that even though I looked thinner I was not seeing it on the scales! Now I don't use scales at all as I realise I am building muscle and I can really see that in my thighs ... thank you so much you really have changed my life forever x
I lost 22 pounds in 7 weeks. There was a week that my weight doesn’t go down, but I listen to Dr. Berg and didn’t give up there after my weight start to go down again. I’d like to believe that was my plateau week when it still shrinking inside. Thank your for inside information.
Thank God, mine has improved since i stared fasting.
I'm 32 went through a very stressful time and my legs are starting to look like I'm 82 years old. That is how I came to this video.. I really don't know what to do and hope these tips can help me out
Dr. Berg, please do a more detailed video on this -- it is great information!
I don't agree with everything but I have alot of respect for Dr Berg. He definately has good info and cares
Excellent video with real insight. Thank you. At last someone who makes sense and doesn't come out with that 'calories in, calories out' simplistic clap-trap,
Brilliant as usual. Tons of details but organized and easy to understand
Omg that was so helpful, I’m shrinking slightly esp around waist , but staying same weight, early menopause at 37, 44 now and just started intermittent fasting 👍🙂
Even if I don't understand everything ... I just was focus on in his eyes 🥰!
I need a coach like him in my life!
I have lost 5 lbs in 4 days simply by not eating anything unhealthy.
YOU go! That's awesome!
I’m gonna go have a chocolate cookie
@@monkeybearmax me too.
53 and still have plenty of estrogen and periods every 27 days. My 3 pregnancies produced 3 babies and I never took The Pill. Dancing, riding my Duc and hiking with my dog are the extent of my working out. I eat, sleep, etc for my hormones. My body likes me at 140 (I'm 5'3") and size 6. If I get below 135, hormones start messing with me a bit. I'll take a large handful of boob and a pooch over a flat stomach and chest ribs showing anyday. Live people! Live! Live! Live!
Don't get too proud lol. I was that way and nobody could believe my age but at 58 it changed and I have to watch it and work at it. My periods went to age 57. It is indeed a blessing to have long estrogen life though.
@@grainiac7824 Huh. Interesting perspective. I think you missed the point. But then, nobody could ever understand why I called the stage of independence for my toddlers "The Terrific Twos", and not "The Terrible Twos". Adapting and overcoming is a mindset; haughtily speaking fear into someone isn't something I do. But it is interesting to observe. The passive aggressive dig will be excused by some as you ended on a high note. Good on you mum!
@@bitcoinbelle Oh my, I keep telling myself not to post on these things. Never meant passive aggressive dig! Just a wise heads-up about being 53 and thinking we escaped the curse : / I was actually trying to be light-hearted if you can believe that but obviously failed. Thanks for letting me know. And you have a cute screen name btw.
More sleep
Lose less than 2 pounds per week
No cravings
Less exercise: once every week/ every other week
Rest longer
Take B3, B6, C, Omerga 3 everyday
Thank you Dr. Burg. This helped me a lot. I am frustrated and refuse to get on a scale anymore for now. I had hoped building muscle is what my body has been doing but I wasnt sure. I've had little weight loss number wise in the last 2 months, but my clothes fit very differently. So I find this video very encouraging and heelpful. I started this journey to get healthy. Knowing weight loss is going to be a key player in that healthiness, but I also knew my lack of good health played a key roll.
So helpful and I'm always amazed exactly what I need to hear every time I tune in bless you Dr Berg.
Menopause is terrible!! Thanks Dr 😘👍
I love this man. My life has improved greatly because of him. He has good advice and it works my body and health have improved greatly because of it
Me too. I feel like I know him or met him before. I appreciate his transparency and his authenticity. He seem to be a truly caring decent person with the best kn
Knowledge which have helped me tremendously
I really appreciate Dr.
Berg and his wife. I love them! Thank you Dr.
Berg! Glory to you God!
Brilliant!!! Thank you doctor Berg. You are a God send. God bless you!
David Beard Hey guys(: Anyone ever tried the Fat Blaze Factor (search on google)? Ive heard a number of amazing stuff about it and my friends brother burned alot of excess fats with it.
TH-cam Is My Go To reported it
David Beard iir
Anybody else here has a crush on Dr. Berg cause I think I do. 😍
Yes, absolutely!
No because he doesn't seem to bother reading the comments particularly those requesting the details he said he'd promised to write but didn't & that was a year ago.
I do lol
@Madison Daily 😂😂😂
Ha ha me too😁😘
Braggs amino acids, 16 essential and non essential amino acids. Yum. I drink mine in water. Delicious
Lori B would you mind sharing a link to the Bragg's amino acids mix?
Lori B I was JUST thinking about that...my gf uses it ALL the time and moringa in her smoothies...she’s in upper 40s and in GREAT SHAPE (sidebar:she also NEVER eats after 7pm). 👍🏼
Is this the stuff that replaces soy sauce, that you have every morning?
pixiechic61
yes
There is arginine in it and it causes me herpes.
Love the vid...it really opened my eyes. However, no thoughts of how much to take for the supplements? There must be a recommendation as we know supplements must be balanced. If anyone has a thought, please let me know...appreciated :)
gym 3 times a week I pop in and do 15 min EXCERCISE on elipticle and u r correct .. I haven't lost wt yet but I walk better feel better look better. a little elipticle goes along way!! plus I do 125 sit ups. just a start but I advise anyone to try an elipticle machine for cardio low impact EXCERCISE and stick with it.
thank you Dr for your advice, I am going to take my vitamins at nite now!!
l t Elliptical machine & any long slow cardio is probably the worst exercise anyone can bother doing unless obese & just starting to move. Lift your own body weight & lift weights; move into functional fitness where you’re actually doing both. Tons of TH-cam videos. Add HiiT to the regimen as become more fit.
@@sweetpeace5 ... you keep leaving this same comment, but you haven't explained WHY it's the worst exercise!
@@briannab5296 it doesn’t build muscle as well as weight training.
Thank you so much for this video! It is the most comprehensive, yet easy to understand description of what is happening with my body as I am entering the menopause phase. Thank you and I look forward to trying the supplements you suggested!
My butt and thighs have atrophied. I don't even have strength to keep balanced
Dianna Sierra OMG hope you’re still ALIVE. Funniest comment ever.
Same as me
dr berg do you offer these yet??
It would be great if you put this together as a kit!!!!
Along with a great work out routine
Love what you are doing for mankind
thank you
The problem with taking before bed is doesn't all these things give you energy? I know BCAA does and that is what the 1st three things listed are. I also know any B vitamin is to be taken in the morning for energy also.
Laura Allison,I admire your lovely smile!!
Dr.Berg- I love how you break things down- Thank YOU in 2021
This is so so good , thank you for this very valuable information Dr Berg ! You are an angel
I'm 62 and normal weight but have saggy thighs. Have fibromyalgia and the day after exercise have horrible fatigue. Even after 15 minute slow walk. I'm gonna try the supplements you suggest.
Omg, can’t believe I’m just coming across this😩
You are an absolute gift of knowledge and info!! Thank God!!! 👏👏👏
Very informative thanks again dr you are the best
Dr Berg would you recommend taking potassium as a supplement?
He clearly states what the supplements are: Valine, Leucine, Iso-leucine and the co-factors (vitamins that assist the aminos) B3, B6 and Vitamin C; lastly, Omega 3 in the form of Flax Oil. He then instructs to take the aminos at night before bed bc that is when the body repairs itself. I, personally, would take the co-factors and fish oils in the morning bc B vitamins can rev you up. I gleaned that from one listen of the video.
D S ~ Good point. Thanks.
D S Thanks for posting the amino acids & co-factors! He did not specify how much of each though. Do you know the proper dosages?
why flax over fish i wonder
@@susanmarshall8466 because of toxicity and radiation. It's affecting fish, and the oil concentrates it.
D.S. i'm unsure why youi get your rocks off being condescending, but thanks for the info anyway.
Great scott!!!! You have just saved me a stroke and a nervous breakdown. I have gone to 3 different doctors all saying it’s just age and you’re post menapausal. I think it’s this atrophy.... it is the only explanation for all of a sudden droopy thighs and butt and I do 22 flights of 16 stairs/each flight. My legs and butt were fine, now something weird is happening and I am always sore. I think it’s with my b vitamins - I’m starting amino acids and b vitamins tomorrow. Thank you so very much for this info dr Berg!!!
I wish I'd had this information years ago! My body seemed to fall apart when I hit menopause. I went from 58kg to 71kg in 18 months and I felt so gross. Everything either buldged, giggled or drooped and despite working out or going for long walks every day I couldn't lose any weight and it was so depressing.
A week ago I started intermittent fasting and taking ACV before meals and before bed. I'm feeling so much more energetic and any cravings I had for carbs or sweet food have completely disappeared. Now I've watched this video and I FINALLY understand what's been going on with my body and what I need to do to get back in shape. Thankyou so much! 😊
Leanne Power Hi Leanne, what is ACV?
@@RoseRose-op2wi, Apple cider vinegar 😊
@Leanne Marie
Hi! Wondering ??? How are you doing now?
I'm experiencing this; scale's not moving, but I'm getting leaner and tummy's flatter. I feel great at 48, but I'm glad he explained it. I'll look into those supplements.
I like the ideas here. makes a lot of sense to me. very coherent narrative.
Some people are sore most of the time... what should they do?
I watch all your programs and love it. Thanks for all your information.Love you.
I really needed to hear this. THANK YOU! I am only down 13# after a month of Keto. But I’m down 5 pant sizes. The scale is not changing but my clothes are swimming. I’m doing a lot of IF and now kicking up 24 hour dry fasting and water fasts. It can be very frustrating to see the scale going up (muscle rebuilding) at this stage, but hearing you explain it-really helps! You’re the best!
Even older active women who work with trainers have to deal with these issues. It's not always atrophy of musculature.
Jane Delaney Its hormonal
Yes, age makes a big difference! Things just don’t snap back when you lose weight like when you’re younger. I wish he would have addresses that. 😔
yes hormones play a key role and he didn't mention that.
I love Dr. Berg!! I also have to say I read the best comments on Dr. Bergs channel! Always positive and uplifting🙏♥️!!
Can you take those things to help build back muscle even if you're not working out or do you have to be working out for these to help?
This is good news for me as I started a fitness routine after a 2 year break. I quit alcohol. I am now eating small amount of good quality healthy food for the last couple of months and although my clothes are beginning to sit a little looser my weight has actually gone up by 7 lbs ! i nearly cried and gave up.
Jade your skin thanks you for quitting alcohol👍
SPRINTS ARE GREAT FOR CELLULITE LEGS! TIGHTENED MY LEG A LOT ! AND WHEN WALKING I SQUEEZE MY LEGS
So clear and simple to understand. I love this man!
When you crave for sugar that means you're magnesium deficient
Maria Colburn thank you so much will get onto magnesium as have severe cramps at night. Restless sleeping
@@nadiacastricum3292 you're welcome. It helps Alot for me hopefully it will work for you
WOW. I just started using magnesium gummies and i can already tell the difference. I was a lover of anything and everything sweet. I have noticed a big change . Thanks for sharing❗
@@ceemay9316 you are so welcome
Maria Colburn hey it had been a week on magnesium tablets and I can honestly say I am sleeping better at night. No restless legs or cramps. Started Intermittent fasting and Keto the past week have had headache and tired but feeling better today.
Thanks for getting me into msgnesium😘
I have taken B vitamins at night and it gave me so much energy at bedtime it disrupted my ability to fall asleep. Any suggestions?
I love your videos and I thank you. FYI you did not post the vitamins to take in the read more section.
Dr. Berg, I just watched your video regarding BCCA myth. Do you still recommend taking BCCA supplement plus B3,6, C and omega3 flex oil or would it be better to take EAA supplement?
