I used to be one of those guys who believed everything about what these people say. THANKS for opening my eyes Layne. Greetings from Spain 💪🏼
don't worry bro we all been there, thank god for biolayne..... keto fasting was that good then why did i experience diffuse thinning and lost all my muscles.
Me too.
Google Dr. Pradip Jamnadas who is a cardiac heart surgeon and promotes Keto and IF
Me too
Hola 🇪🇸
Slower metabolism IS NOT broken metabolism. Body simply adapts to energy deficit and becomes more efficient. Nothing is getting broken. It's actually opposite of that.
If our individual cells could talk, they would tell us we are dumb for believing these fraudsters
Yep so true
There are Chiropractors who support science and who actually help people by doing what their scope of practice says they can do. I’m currently a student but I watch your videos and gladly call out the BS even to professors. Looking forward to being a Chiro that doesn’t say nonsense and shares actual research. Thank you for being a great source!
Google Dr. Pradip Jamnadas, he’s a cardiac heart surgeon😳
Dr Eric : i exist
biolayne : there is no evidence for that
But he has a whiteboard and 4 different color markers.
He’s not a dr he’s a freaking chiropractor lmao come on man smh
Dear Layne: First I want to thank you for your awesome content. Your channel and advice has helped me lose about 30 pounds in the last calendar year. Incidentally I am a new TH-camr and a practicing child psychologist. Dr. Berg recently uploaded a video on ADHD that also has abjectly wrong information. I thought you might be interested in this as well as my own response video to him. Thanks again for all your work to keep BS out of fitness and health.
That video was pure BS.
Dr Siddiqui Entirely agreed.
Christine Connell I just established a caloric deficit through calorie tracking. And thanks for your comment on my channel. I’m actually filming a video tonight to answer those excellent questions. Thanks!
I used to follow Eric Berg but then I got tired of the misinformation and his undying followers. I found him overrated
I immediately searched whey proteins insulinogenic response vs white bread and was blown away. I must admit I called bs but did the research like I always do and you were right. Much appreciated.
Lol Berg...he is really into fasting
Thanks for always calling it like it is! I’d be interested to hear what you think about David Sinclair’s work.
@@merrinfrancis6955 hmm I will have to look into David now.
He sells " fasting" teas . Does not surprise me.
@@DrSiddiqui Oh that explains it
@@DrSiddiqui Every single fad or diet he promotes is linked to a product he sells. It's all a facade to sell supplements. He probably don't even believe the stuff he spouts, just wants to make money.
This is the shit that irks me.... Berg has nearly 4mil subs.. spouts nonsense. Layne here... Under 200k... Comes with the hard facts, straightforward, makes it easy to understand... It's ridiculous. Reminds me of the meme of the two lines to a doctor's office window: ones has a sign saying pills and fad diets; and the other hardwork, consistency, and accountability... You can guess which line is around the corner.
Same meme but one line is "Unpleasant truths" (no one in that line) vs. "Comforting lies"
@John webb sweet! I appreciate the info, I'll watch this during dinner!
@John webb are you insinuating that Layne has no published research?
@John webb he's been published in several reputable Journals over the years. A quick Google search will tell you this. Your initial comment makes it sound like you think Layne has no idea what he's talking about because he doesn't have hundreds of publications. If you actually look at his work and what he has to say, coupled with his background, he is definitely someone we should be listening to.
@John webb his "over complication" shows that he knows what he's talking about. He's no VShred. Plus, he's jumping back through the hoops that these misleading cult leaders jump through to make their "science" work, in an attempt to debunk what they are saying. Personally i think he does a fantastic job in this. He's even come out with a different stance on a topic as he gained new information (something these zealots refuse to do). Maybe he used to be more polite and more professional, but maybe that wasn't getting people to listen to him so he said screw it? Does he come off as arrogant? Sure. Is that style offensive to some people? Sure. I'm not suggesting listening to everyone. I'm suggesting listening to him specifically. His background is geared towards this. And the subject isn't nearly as simple as you're claiming. There are so many nuances to it and Layne tries to remind us of this constantly.
I'm sorry to say this, but to those People saying "dirty salesman" to Berg... so is biolayne, looked in the description for some sources, but found only offers for his training program..
They're both just praying on People.
Show me a person Who actually shows the research studies They're refering to
Shredded sports science is good that way. Funny too.
One of the best here Layne, keep them coming. Keep eating your nutrients so your metabolism doesn’t get destroyed too
Biolayne, you have just instantly become in my opinion the most credible fitness influencer on TH-cam. As soon as you discredited his low carb BS I fell in love.
Iroquois Pliskin yes but it’s no fun to have things debunked, we want magic! Shortcuts!
I’m currently eating 1500ish calories a day . I walk around 5-6 miles I burn around 700-900 (at work)calories a day . I’m 5’7 and weigh 293 lbs now I’m at 266 lbs , but It does seem to go any lower. Can you or anyone explain what to do .
Have one day a week where you eat 2000-2500 calories, then go back to your 1500, works for me.
Lol another person I’ll be unsubscribed too...Thomas delauer now dr berg.....bye Felecia 🤚🏼🤚🏼
Jay Turan I totally see that now.....I’ve always believed cutting out a main macro group was not good......and Layne has proved me right. I love carbs and will never cut them out 🙅🏽♀️
I can’t even watch this because I hate Dr Berg that much
If Skeletor was a chiropractor
Oh boy, Dr. Berg overcomplicates everything.
I'm a type 2 diabetic - went from 390 lbs+ to 235 lbs eating 250-300 grams of carbs a day - including twizzler =) (only had a few a day when I wanted them, but I didn't exclude stuff like that as I lost the wgt. 2 years later, weight still off. A1C went from 9+ to 5 - 5.5ish. Oh, and popcorn nearly every day...
Stephen Parlin if your A1C is now 5 then I believe your not a diabetic anymore because I think that 5 and under is normal. So I really want to congratulate you.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
@Christine Connell cliff notes version, set a daily calorie goal and protein goal and had one "free/cheat meal" per week while still keeping a caloric deficit in mind. Hit the gym, did cardio. Lost 157 lb sin a little less than 18 months
@@Barbie_All_The_Way Thanks - If I eat poorly and eat lot of sugar and don't move my blood sugar still goes up, it just does so more slowly than prior to my weight loss. I just don't often eat that way so it stays in a reasonable range.
It is very easy for me to restrict my calorie intake on keto and fasting. I always overeat carbs.
Honestly people like him make me embarrassed to be studying chiropractic. There is a Total of 3 required nutrition courses in the 3.3 year program. I really can’t wait to make people like him obsolete over the coming years...
Chiropractors get a bad rep and it pisses me off because there are so many good ones out there. I've been going to one all my life and has done wonders for me.
Morbidly obese people eat more than thin people. Their metabolism is "faster". They burn more calories than fit people typically.
When I was 600+ pounds, I lost a pound of fat every day for 100 days when I was eating 4000 calories per day. My TDEE was around 7500 calories per day.
No they just weight more which burns more calories
Red Goggles they both mean the same thing I’m this case. The extra weight causes he metabolism change
TDEE of 7500? And that's without working out being sedentary. Holy shit
Berg and DeLauer are the worst offenders
Sure Thomas is wrong sometimes he's human but at the least he puts it new information you can learn from Eric just puts put recycled dogshit then says low carb keto diet buy muh bullshit supplement
Red Goggles Thomas purposely puts out bullshit to make $$
@@Hoop639 yes he has admitted to this but berg is on a whole other level
Well, at least Thomas looks like he trains.
Thomas cherry picks his studies while claiming natty and Dr berg just preaches fasting will solve all ur problems
it's not hard people exercise and eat whole foods
Biolayne is a flexible dieter, so exercise and eat pop tarts in moderation lol
Depends on what you mean by “hard.” It’s not complex, but it’s also not easy to put into practice. Exercise is a lot of work and tacos are delicious, so you have to learn to delay gratification.
@@Magic_beans_ You can eat "healthy foods" and be obese as fuck man. You can make your diet as "clean" and "perfect" as possible and do more cardio than necessary and still be obese. Cmon, you're all biolayne viewers, you should know that your weight is determined by energy balance, you're not just gonna eat healthy and exercise and achieve your dream body. And who said you can't eat tacos while cutting? Man ya'll have some work to do lol
That's like saying " just make alot of money and spend it"
I like how delusional this guy is. Layne is here saying well research shows that fasting slows metabolism, when fung has show studies that show the opposite. Like really.
Right! Who is this guy??? Not even a chiropractor! LOL
Jung has done all the research and Berg basically agrees.
I’ve listened to Dr from all over the world and they support These findings Bert shares.
Dude?
Layne is the purpose of refeeds to prevent ones NEAT and BMR from decreasing? If not what is? I saw the video that suggests they are best when done 2 days in a row. Thank you, love the channel.
Yes it is. Its in his book explained in details. Great content.
I enjoy your videos Layne - this one also on point. Correction though, as a fellow chiropractor myself, we actually get a lot of education on nutrition and it's because of that baseline education in nutrition I've always appreciated what you were trying to clarify on all these claims people are out here making . The issue that I think has happened here with Dr. Berg is he is has trained postgraduate in "functional medicine" which basically is offshoot of conventional medicine replacing meds with supplements, conventional labs with functional labs and simply offers a new diet plan. He is simply regurgitating what he has learned in these seminars and conferences. You'd be shocked how almost all of my colleagues teach the same stuff as him due to this type of functional medicine education. They make a lot of money off of it too.
I love how when you speak to a Chiro on pretty much any topic - they have all the answers, yet when you speak to top specialists in the field of your enquiry they are often not sure and very tentative
Great point! Reminded me of a quote:
“The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.”
― Charles Bukowski
I just feel sorry for the people that buy his bull crap.
I hope people will see this video and think twice before listening to “DR” Berg
Here's the problem.. I'm sure both arguments or diets or ways of eating have there merits.. The problem with most people that are really overweight and try to count calories is the old Caories in calories out BS! If this were true then all calories would be created equal ..So why not eat candy bars and bread and Rice and pasta everyday! I like how I see the argument about what's best for energy and running 🏃♂️💯 ... Most of the people that have alot of weight to lose can't even walk very well till they get the weight off and unless you are under 35 I would recommend another form of cardio .. Like swimming walking, biking and weight training 💪.. The problem with this video is someone that has started a low carb diet and is even doing ok with it but is having trouble staying disciplined watches this video and thinks they can just go back to eating carbs again and still keep losing the same amount of weight... That's BS!!
@@brendaklinger3339 I totally agree with you. However, not being able to stick to any kind of diet might be a problem of a dieter not the diet itself. I think when it comes to weight loss, everything is way more COMPLEX. We all know that caloric deficit is a must. But how to create it consistently and stick to it, that is whole another topic:) ADHERENCE is the problem with any type of diet, is what I might be trying to say :D
Damn he called him a charlatan....those are dueling words.
About time someone exposes Dr.Berg, grown tired of the bs this fraud spews
Eric berg is a chiropractor. Thats how he gets the Dr in front of his name. Seeing that people believe anything he says
Vijit Nayak oh it’s not just that, it’s also that he has a WHITEBOARD and writes stuff on it in big texta. THATS how you know he knows his shit.
Vijit Nayak if people believe what anyone says just coz they’re ‘dr’ then they deserve what they get
True, but I also think it’s important to note that this applies to more than just chiropractors. Dr. Mehmet Oz is a very accomplished thoracic surgeon, pretty well regarded in that field. Doesn’t mean he knows a damn thing about nutrition, diabetes, or epidemiology.
Overeating fats? Spikes insulin.. Please share the study. Thanks
He said overeating fats causes more insulin resistance. Not that it spikes insulin
Only found Laynes youtube a few weeks ago but I'm hooked on these vids. Nice condensed knowledge bombs
Please respond to the videos of Dr Jason Fung, Dr Ken Berry on the same topic..
I’ve unsubscribed from all of these Bergs, Lauders, and etc 😅
It is slower yes. I ate 500 cals for two years i lost 4.5 but did plateau. I was able to cycle up calorie. I do not recommend do not enjoy eating. Still weigh 38 kilos. Not a good idea.
Anyone who has watched Berg knows nutrient dense foods are organs and high vitamin foods, such as Kale, bell peppers, spring lettuce, ETC. He's not going to list all of them every video, so nice straw man. Most of Bergs, videos are directed at people who have food issues such as diabetics, auto immune issues, and food allergies. All of which nearly any doctor will prescribe similar diets for. I know because I fall into one of the groups I mentioned and my diet was approved by my doctor.
There are bigger reason for intermittent fasting than just controlling when your body is burning thew sugars and burning fats. Mainly it helps you control your eating habits and your body being hungry when it suppose to be instead of being hungry all day long. All I know is that I have a buddy that is a lifter and though he would destroy me in lifting everyone will now say I am looking far healthier and it's due to change in diet. If you have none of the food issues listed above there is no reason for you to do Keto that's true, but if you do, Keto is a very good way to deal with those issues for many people.
......... & the bullshit starts😂😅
Layne, u r Hilarious 😂😂😂😂
I wish content providers would balance audio levels when editing and completing videos to upload. I am tired of constantly raising and lowering the volume to hear the entire video. Dr Berg's volume was so low and your voice was so loud I could not get through this entire video.
Nice video i also dont understand why people allways follow low carb and keto , its much hard and the results can also be good with carbs
One thing is with low carb you can get tired and possibly not burn as many calories for that reason. If you eat carbs in moderation, you have more energy to burn calories. But I don’t know about any studies for that, lol.
Dr. Norton (PhD) your knowledge in all things nutrition and it's effect on human physiology is second to none. I agree with you 1000%.
Which is exactly why I tell people when it comes to nutrition CALORIES is "King" and protein is "Queen".
But I have 1 question. I thought intermittent fasting (under 24hrs raised one's metabolism). Or is that a fallacy well???
No intermittent fasting doesn’t raise your metabolism only after eating then it will raise your metabolism significantly because you need to eat protein in every meal
There’s an ongoing battle between people that give diet/nutrition advice. Athletes need a different protocol compared to those that live a sedentary life and want to lose weight. I couldn’t physically survive off Dr. Berg’s recommendations. I’m sure he helps people that want to play video games and watch reality shows all day
I think that the diets only differentiate in amount of calories and a bit less protein.
So it's just eating less.
@@sixtus9559 I can assure you that 0% of cyclist in the pro peloton are in ketosis or doing any intermittent fasting
Berg helps people who mostly have desk jobs, drive cars all the time instead of walking. That is basically most of us who don't have a manual job or live in a walkable city
Just thank you, great content and I finally unsubscribed from Berg channel
So...I can still eat my carbs? Thank goodness, all the videos I seen talk about having to give up carbs or eat only 20g.
However, from what I can tell, there's no way for me to lose weight, without eating less calories than I burn or slowing my metabolism. Bummer
i cant believe once i watched Eric Bergs videos and thought they are legit...
At the same time Dr. Berg is not talking about high performing athletes; he's talking about folks who live for the most part a sedentary lifestyle. A high carbohydrate combined with fat would be a big problem in this case.
Exactly! his audience is not body builders lol
BRB bodybuilders are not humans
BRB
Only in the sense that it contributes to increased calories.
@@danielmatthew4503 what does it have to do with the fact that he makes up stuff from 0 evidence? Pure bs is coming out of his mouth.
We should stop chiro dr using the title Dr. Or put a stop to this crap. I was once a victim as I thought they were real doctor. I was diagnosed with sceliosis and anemia. Wtf
Your extreme biases and false info in this video turned me to Dr. Burge. Too much iodine causes hyper. Or over active thyroid
Whole lot of bro science in this response video.
I know I'm late to the party but thank you for calling out this guy's BS.
😂. You crack me up LN. Keep up the great work crushing all theses douche bag jabronis
What's up with all these people and insulin? The fat storage can't store more fat without calories.
Claiming it can is like saying it's better to hire a 100 workers and not give them materials to work with, than higher 10 and give then materials.
Who's gonna build more?
#biolayne can you please do more reactions to Dr Berg videos? I like your reactions. I like when you clarify his teachings
Layne, you are the only truth-teller in a world full of BS. Thank you.
Haha I like that he called him a charlatan. I was thinking the same thing.
THANKS FOR DEBUNKING GENUINE MISINFORMATION
Layne there is a video on youtube called "fasting vs eating less, what's the difference" and they talk about Minnesota starvation experiment. They tried 2 diets, 3200 calories and 1500 calories. Some of them were eating lower then 1000 calories a day and after 6 months their strength went down by 50%, they got sick, always feeling cold and etc. As a result they said that eating low calorie diet makes you lose more muscle and keeps more fat compared to fasting. They also talk about man fasting for 382 days without any health problems. Can you make a video about this? What could be the reason of people becoming sick cause 1500 calories are not so small amount, they were just eating mostly refined carbs. Here's the link (/watch?v=APZCfmgzoS0)
That 382 day fast was done by a 450 lb man. I think it's safe to assume his body basically ate itself. An "average" weight person wouldn't be able to go this long without complications. He was given electrolytes and vitamins daily, drank water, tea and coffee, and occasionally had small amounts of milk and/or sugar in his beverages.
Layne has videos as old as 7 years ago and has addressed low calorie diet results
@My opinion ultimately doesn’t matter but ehh, it depends on just how much physical activity they were really doing. 1500 is indeed pretty low, but it's totally manageable if they only activity is an hour long workout everyday.
@My opinion ultimately doesn’t matter but which is accurate, but as I said it's also manageable
@My opinion ultimately doesn’t matter but the 1500 calorie group did? Or under 1000 did?
Now I don’t know who my to believe anymore. Certified doctor says one, you say it’s not true. Then there will be a third man who will say that you are not right. There is only one truth how the body works. So why everyone says something different?? Who to believe at all
So ur not for keto lol i been trying it but it seems be pain in the ass
Consuming whey protein before meals could help decrease glucose levels in people with type two diabetes… are you a doctor?
Whey protein spiking insulin in healthy people doesn't do anything negative for lifters, but it does if your diabetic. Again he's almost always talking to people who are diabetic, pre-diabetic, food allergies, auto immune ETC. There is a reason they tell people with high sugar to cut anything that spikes insulin.
But he was arguing that because whey protein spikes insulin (and people on high protein diets loose more weight), insulin doesn't matter for weight loss. The stuff you point out is not relevant to the argument.
Hear me out, the underfeeding slowing down your metabolism is actually pretty good bro science. If you think about it, the claim was started by the original 70's gym bros who were training twice a day and observing the effects of different feeding schemes and it makes sense that if you're packed with muscle training 2x/day and you're at a low body fat % your metabolism and energy levels will drop if you're underfed for a long stretch of the day. I claim the only reason this bro fact is misunderstood is that it doesn't apply to the vast majority of ppl because they are neither training twice a day and aren't very lean. I declare this true bro science. Come at me bro.
@4:17 - You said that (fasting) induces a calorie deficit in SOME people? Also - there IS published evidence that fasting initially INCREASES metabolic rate. Think it was Dulloo or Drenick, did indirect calorimetry daily during a fasting study, been awhile since I read the paper but believe it was an increase after 24 hours, back to baseline at 48 hours & marginal decreases day to day afterwards. I have no idea if with alternate day fasting you'd see the increase consistently, not aware of any studies showing that, have seen studies on alt day fasting showing losses in nitrogen @ 24 hour fasted, with return to baseline on feeding days and a net balance over the period of a week - very small differences day to day so sensitivity of DEXA should also be considered.
There’s no evidence fasting increases metabolic rate
@@biolayne1 PMID: 8172872 - increase of 96 kcal/day - PMID: 10837292 - increase of 193 kcal/day Conclusion: "Resting energy expenditure increases in early starvation, accompanied by an increase in plasma norepinephrine. This increase in norepinephrine seems to be due to a decline in serum glucose and may be the initial signal for metabolic changes in early starvation."
Both studies mention increase in norepinephrine as the probable increase in metabolic rate, it more than doubled in the 2nd study cited AND both used kJ/min, which I converted to kcal/day if you want to check my math.
The reason fasting might increase metabolic rate in the short term (I believe up to 72 hours) whereas a VLCD may not, is the magnitude of the shift in norepinephrine. I've seen increases on a VLCD of 20%, one study above reported increases of over 100%. The increases reported as small and aren't going to result in significantly more weight being lost, I think the point is short term fasting (1-3 days) isn't going to crater metabolic rate as some might be suggesting.
He’s also a Scientologist so there’s that 😂
Fats do not produce a greater indulin response than carbs lol
Potatoes are the most satieting ! Potatoes..
Ouuu dirtty keto you salty salty girl 😅
Do fats and protein raise your blood sugar? Do vegetables have more nutrients than wonder bread. Can you burn fat when your blood sugar an insulin levels are elevated?
hey buddy love these videos, i actually have a question to ask you...
i havent been able to find much info on this, i would like to know if muscle can be kept for a short period (7-10 days) without protein intake, but keeping calories at maintenance
in other words, low protein but still eating enough calories to maintain weight
would this cause muscle loss in the short term?
No - the answer is no that would not cause muscle loss.
Can you address Dr Fung fasting?
Ugh Dr. Berg……he needs to disappear…
Why are they always chiropractors?
Hey Layne, please have videos about high carb diets MAINTAINED at a healthy weight. Losing weight and all the benefits, got it. But what happens at maintaining the weight loss and a high carb diet? Bigger risk @ type 2 diabetes???
studies show the only the thing that matters is that you don't consume calories in excess. So feel free to eat 'high carb' as long as you don't go over maintenance, you won't get type 2 diabetes as a result of the food.
Will someone think of the nutrients....
fat spikes insulin far less than protein or carbs.. realistically all calorie are not equal because saturated fats are ridiculously satiating and make it much easier to lose weight without counting calories
Eric Berg is so skinny and scrawny, probably needs help lifting stuff, he's too young to be that weak, why would he advise people to lose strength?
Layne, I have to disagree with you on so many points. You need to do a study on former “wrestlers” who have lots of issues with metabolism. I am one of them! For me to stay lean I have to eat less than 1,600 calories a day as an active. 5’7” 165Ib male. Everything is measured and accounted for. I believe that for 90% of people that your information is accurate.
Currently watching this while eating low calorie popcorn. This guy convinced me to go low carb but he made it complicated. I wish I knew about layne to finally accept its about calories in calories out.
Greg D
hi, i have watched a lots of your videos, and found them very helpful and informative,
my question is why do have to criticize someone else's videos to make yours, YOU have your own identity and good enough knowledge to share and keep making more informative videos,
is it not cheap to climb by putting your foot on someone else's head,
such videos make you look cheap, well this is my opinion, rest is your decision,
good luck.
Btw a lot of people are deficient in B1. Especially people eating shit load of white rice and simple sugars in form of gels etc.. When you do some endurance exercise.. B1 is maybe the most important micronutrient for sugar metabolism and also energy production. I highly recommend thiamin in the most bioavailable form TTFD. It will be huge difference in energy level if you have some degree of deficiency.. Benfotiamin is also good. Regular thiamine hcl that is in most B vitamin complexes has very low bioavailability and you need to take very high doses..
So thankful I found your channel !
I just have one question…. What does nebulous mean?
Foggy. Not clear.
I find his channel at least interesting because he brings up a large breadth of issues surrounding a topic but it's weird how he gets over 50% of his takeaway information incorrect. Not sure if he buys likes because I don't get how he always has such a good rating ratio.
None of these gym bros understand that losing weight is different for people who aren’t pumping iron 3-7 times a week
Keto is fine for sedentary people, but it's a stretch to blame (as Dr. Berg does) most health problems on insulin resistance and carbs, and claiming special benefits for intermittent fasting beyond those you'd get from a calorie-matched diet with no fasting.
What are your thoughts about Greg's doucette advice on training and diet?
Yes I am curious about that as well. They seem to agree on many things but hold very different opinions on the effect of caloric restriction on metabolic rate.
But they do agree on at least one major thing. A good diet for a given is the one it can adhere to. Greg shares the one that works for him and on the whole I think it fits in with what Layne has to say about a good diet.
@@HerrFinsternis I think Greg can have very fixed ideas of what people should be eating. But as a whole he promotes feeling full and satiated even if you're in a deficit. He also promotes it as a sustainable lifestyle you should enjoy rather than a restrictive diet
So as a whole I think it's great that he is promoting a healthy, sensible approach to dieting even if as I say he can be a little narrow minded
Layne i've been saying this guy is probably the biggest freak on TH-cam and I'm an intermittent fasting zealot
Been waiting for you to roast this guy for a long time, after he made me go on a year long keto diet in which my overall health really suffered. I started struggling with depression like symptoms (due to decreased domanine and serotonine transport) severe sleep problems, huge amounts of stress and many problems with low blood sugar crashes when I was exercising. And the fasting made it all even worse. Even though I was in ketosis, I was feeling horrible and was overeating when I was finally "allowed" to have meals. My most succesful weight loss came this past spring on a moderate-high carb diet. I lost weight and was happy at the same time with little to no sleep issues and way less mood swings. Mr Berg, if that keto lifestyle was so healthy, why didn't I loose weight and why was I feelning so horrible? Lol.
@John webb Well after being in ketosis for months, I think my body had suffient time to become keto adapted. Here's the thing: I was and am training very high intensity with both weights and cardio almost every day, some days I have two hard workouts. Fats are simply not efficient fuel for me and my performance was so poor during those times..and my LDL colesterol was though the roof. After I dropped keto, my performance overall went up and my recovery was better. My crazy dirty carb cravings actually went away when I allowed myself to eat things like rye bread and oatmeal.
And even though diet is important for exercise and "physical" health my mental health is just as important and I don't want to do something like the keto diet again and harm myself that way. I don't know where are you are getting your above mentioned carb numbers from, but they seem arbitrary to me and the needs would seem a lot more individually based (like you mentioned yourself) - on body size, activity level and enventual health issues. Fats are eccential, so no one should go zero fats, however fats are not nessesarily superior to carbs, it really depends. The most harmful type macronutrients might be transfats due to their ability to be stored in the fats cells and stay there for months or years and act as small inflammatory factories.
As for me, I make sure to stay away from the more unhealthy sources or carbs, fats and proteins, I control my stress and sleep and stay at a fairly healthy muscle mass and bodyfat ratios. Might not work for everyone else, but personally I've never felt better.
John webb you cannot run a fast marathon without burning a high amount a carbs.
I'm sure you didn't mean this, but it sounds like he forced you to go on this diet. Were you under his care?
@John webb Well thanks for the interest. I'm 33 now and play basketball on a relatively high level. This has been a passion of mine for years. Being a short player at about 5ft9 and 160-165 pounds, I have to be quick and explosive on the floor and watch my weight. So I basically schedule my training very different depending on the time of season. I will only train for hypertrophy for 6-8 weeks a year in the off season, I'll do quite a bit of plyometrics for another few weeks in the offseason and then slowly transition into more cardiovascular training where, like you know, the demends on the system are very different. I've become very aware of overtraining and don't want to burn my candle in both end by trying to force my body to meet many different demands at the same time. Now as we approach training camp, it's only about conditioning and fat loss and lift as little as possible to maintain strength. Apart from that, some of my training is not done for my own goals, but for others, as I'm a fitnessinstructor, and hosts several gym classes a week, which I have to factor into my overall stress levels and recovery. I don't count macros but freestyle it by eating 3 solid meals plus shakes during my training which really helps with energy and avoiding blood sugar crashes.
John webb fat converts to energy very poorly. If you want performance you need carbs. Your stating it is proven is bogus. You Keto people like to state a ton of false claims.
I fell victim to Berg's dogma for a while, until I saw the light of reason. In other videos he recommends consuming somewhere around 4000 mg of potassium/day or more if possible, to prevent the dreaded insulin response, etc., etc. I figured out how much that would cost - I would need to go through a whole package of salad greens every day and then add a lot of vegetables to that, and I still would have a hard time making the RDA, never mind what he recommends. What he does not say is, "If you are as rich as I am and money is no object, then you too can do this -otherwise, too bad. You are just going to have to suffer."
4000mg of potassium is recommended daily
Go buy the supplement on Amazon
From bulksupply
No need for veggies
RoJangles it's actually 4.7g with a recommended min of 3.4g. I would never supplement potassium though... You're asking for trouble when you mess with things that could effect your heart. Just eat real foods like avocado, potatoes, bananas salmon raisens ect... Even meat has potassium in it. It's not difficult to reach healthy amounts if you're aware of your diet. You don't have to be rich to get potassium
@@UncleMike81If you're doing keto and following Dr. Berg's advice, then potatoes, raisins and bananas are probably not options, even the salmon might have its limits if you're trying to stay in ketosis. He expects you to eat lots of leafy greens, fats and some meats as far as I know.
I don't understand the point of roasting Mr. Berg. Both of your ways are different.
Probably because he’s full of shit & misleads people to make money
@@biolayne1 how does he make money by advising people to eat a lot of greens, moderate protein, healthy fats and to fast?
Is there like a time limit the average person should be in a calorie deficit before the metabolic rate slows down too much and should initiate a reverse diet? Or does this really only pertain to athletes?
Personal anecdote: i did a 6 month cut in which i ate the same calories the entire time and my metabolism never slowed down (fat loss per week was the same the whole time). So i dont think that is necessarily the case
I've read that the reverse diet is not necessary. Just hop on your new maintanance calories straight after you finish a cut and the metabolism and hormones will reset themselves. Aworkoutroutine from google was the source.
Not enough selenium can slow your thyroid, or if you consume a lot of iodine, you will also need to have more selenium. Hard to not have enough selenium, but if you take something like valproate it can effect selenium and give you thyroid issues
Yes, selenium for T4->T3
@biolayne you should do one of durian riders videos. Would love your thoughts
I just wanna watch your vids without a v shred ad popping up😠🙄
Absolute lifesaver to have found your stuff.
Thanks Doc!
Lol couple of days ago, I gave you this suggestion! You are a hero layne
I love IF ❤
The reason why people are able to eat high carbs is because they are working it off at the gym
Yeah carbs are absolutely essential for active people, & although there are individual variances on carb requirements as far as the amounts necessary, due to activity levels, metabolism/genetics etc.. Weight training especially, is fueled primarily by carbs via the Glycolitic pathway which is essential for A.T.P./muscular contractions,pumps, performance and is the body's preferred energy source. This is why ketogenic diets are sub-optimal for hard training athletes and bodybuilders
I think you're both right. When you comment on Dr. Berg, I believe you're right. But he is not wrong. It depends on back ground and context. For example, athletes use alot more energy than a sedentary person. If they both ate the same diet, but only the sedentary person gets Diabetes do to insulin resistance. Im still learning myself. Sounds like you don't like Dr. Berg. I do like a sound argument though.
