Dr. Berg, there are plenty of respected researchers and doctors who would beg to differ with you. One place I suggest that you check out is the Calorie Restriction Society. These are UCSF researchers who have delved into this extensively for the last 20 years. On a personal level, I have used calorie restriction for the last 45 years. I am a 68 year old male and I have always been quite healthy and have always maintained my goal weight of 185 lbs. You seem to have bought into the medical establishment's line. I have listened to several of your videos and I respect you very much and that makes me think that you will actually take my recommendations. Have a nice day.

To keto mainly whole foods you create a calorie deficit. Jus saying berg and keto are great.

I think calorie restriction does slow aging like the studies suggest. The problem is that most people go on temporary diets. If someone is able to go on a low calorie diet as a life habit, it would work just fine. It is better however to pair it with fasting because of the exclusive benefits that come with only fasting. (intermittent fasting)

Thank you Dr, I like your idea of recommending ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting, to low glucose, insulin resistant... Totally a agree with you.

thanks Dr. Berg though i do not follow a strict keto diet, i value and apply a lot of your tips. (I do intermittent fasting 16/8). Thanks for All of the knowledge you share, cheers from Spain!

This has been a great journey for me on keto and I see it as a lifestyle not a diet anymore. I do 18/6 intermittent fasting 5 days a week and 24 hour fasting the other 2 days. I do fairly strict keto macros and meal prep for 3 days of meals at a time. Since January 2019 I have lost 31 inches overall and 80 pounds. The weight is not coming off as fast but I have gotten beyond my worry I will stall as I realize my body has gone into a routine where I lose inches and then I lose weight. Dr. Berg has been a great help in answering my questions about keto and the more scientific information on insulin, atuophagy, dopamine and gut biomes. Thank you Dr. Berg for getting this information out to the public so we can heal ourselves.

Thank you Dr. Berg. I love watching your videos because they are concised, clear, understanding and best part is: short. I don't know want to wait my time watching something and at end of the video you get nothing. It's very frustrating. Thanks again.

Excellent video Dr. Berg.

On one meal a day for some good months (maybe a year plus). One meal for me is eating in a span of 2 to 3 hours (during the week) or 4 to 6 in weekend. I never eat after 6PM and never before 12PM (except some weekends). During 6PM to 12PM I don't drink water, I am not thirsty, my green smoothies has all I need in it. I eat: fish, eggs, VEGETABLES, bacon, butter, coconut oil, berries, nuts, seeds (soaked), lemons, one sweet fruit here an there. D3, K2 & Omega 3 are on my list almost daily. No coffee nor alcohol. I don't like them. They mess up my energy. I never felt better. I weight 150Lb (65kg) with a BMI of 19% at 50 years of age. I don't care and I don't count any calories, I don't like at all the sugary stuff it make me sleepy if I eat sugar. I sleep like a stone from 10PM to 4AM, after that I am full of energy the whole day, super power of concentration and physical strength. The blood work I do yearly is great, way better than before. I donate blood (maybe once 24 months) to keep the feritin at optimum range. I do a deparasitation once a year. I do filter my water to 0.5 microns. No more allergies, no more colds or flu, no more cold extremities. At my age I should wear glasses according to the establishment. Not for me. I can thread a needle with no problem. The most important thing is that I feel great. I can endure strong physical stress for at least 24 hours with no food/water and I don't feel hungry or thirsty. I test that almost every weekend by fishing 8-10 km (5-6 miles) offshore on lake Erie in a kayak. I don't do gym or sports but I do yoga once a week, ride a bike 4 miles every day. I convince also few friends and they have same great results. Chemical sugar and high insulin are POISON/DRUG/ADDICTION. I think OMAD/Healthy Keto/IF are a great way to OPTIMIZE our lives/health/energy/being. I will post again how I feel in a year from now, but I doubt it will be different. Eating like a rat/cow the whole day has no sense, that's for animals with low IQ.

Dr. Berg is the best prescription. The truth has set me free and it will set you free. A video a day keeps the doctor away!

I think he's maybe lost just a bit too much lately? He even agreed about that a few months back and stated that he was gonna try and increase his calorie consumption during his eating window....or something along those lines?

I first came to IF via the 5:2 Mosely 500cal model, and yes, I've never had such obsessive thoughts about food as on fasting days! I found it tolerable, though, since I could eat normally and not think about it for the rest of the week. When I found out that there was a healthy (clean) version of keto, I started that and kept the same "two days" as OMAD days and now do keto all the time -- much better! I wish I'd known about the healthy keto from the start! Fasting mimicking, though, is Valter Longo's substitution/alternate method for a 3 day water fast that you do over 5 days -- for those who don't want to water fast but want to get the longevity, autophagy, growth hormone, stem cell, immune system reboot benefits. Personally, I prefer to just get it over with in 3 days with water, but it's an option for some....

Hello, I lost 30 kilo in 4 month. Now i m healty en feel good. Thx you DR Berg Sorry, my english is not good

Once i heard about intermittent fasting and roll my eyes, thinking i'd definitely binge eating on my eating window. But it's been 2,5 months doing it and feels really good. Not necessarily hungry all the time, because if i feel hungry, i try to hold my food craving and it'd just go away. Maybe i can do this as a lifestyle?

You look fantastic doc. You are a shining example of the knowledge you propagate.

Dr Berg, the FMD was formulated to compliment chemo therapy- it was not intended as a weight loss protocol. Also, if you wear a cgm and do the Prolon FMD, many people have a glucose spike. Prolon is low protein high starch. Anyway, I think it is important to make that distinction- FMD or Prolon is a medical protocol to nutritionally support chemo-not a weight loss tool.

Why watching & listening Dr Berg feels high contentment, I think because zero-calorie, moderate protein & high fat. Thank you Dr Awesome!

If calorie restriction does curtail the speed of aging, and this can be proven to be applicable not to just animals, but humans as well, it still stands to reason that using low carb to achieve this calorie restriction is far more prudent than using the conventional low fat approach. Since low carb diets are generally richer in protein and fat than what conventional calorie restricted programs have, the combination of these two macros produces the most sustained level of satiety. The more satiated one is, the less likely a person will overeat, and therefore the more compliant one will be with the calorie restriction that purportedly mitigates the speed of aging. Speaking from personal experience, I can attest to this. I was a chronic dieter after graduating from college. I would dutifully lose 30 to 40 lbs, and then gain it back because I simply could not stave off the hunger for more than a 4 or 5 months. I eventually ballooned to the heaviest I have ever been (230 lbs). Then, 4 years ago, I switched to low carb. I did low carb with intermittent fasting, using the same amount of calorie restriction as I did when using low fat/portion control diets, but this time I lost over 110 lbs, and I am able to keep it off. What this goes to show you is that the two paradigms of dieting - focusing on macro nutrient ratios vs. simple calorie restriction - does not have to be at odds against each other. Quite the opposite. The use of the former (focusing on low carb macros) can help facilitate the latter (calorie restriction). They can work in a synergistic manner.

Type 2 diabetes should be renamed to "Processed food disorder" according to Robert Lustig, MD. I completely agree with him and it's a condition that comes on later in life, you are not born with it. There are of course other factors involved but dietary choices has the strongest influence for most people. How about clean up your eating and cure diabetes type 2 naturally with carb reduction, which ever one that may apply to you. Forget about Metformin. It addresses the symptoms, it doesn't fix the underlying problem. It's a lucrative business for drug manufactures to keep patients sick by not addressing the underlying cause so patients keep coming back for more. There is a reason these guys make billions of dollars each year. Again, ignore whatever doesn't apply to you. Have a good life.

Hi Dr Berg. I started keto journey months ago with some good results with weight loss and lessening of eczema symptoms. I then progressed through lots of research to Carnivore diet. (Some of the videos in this research included you on various channels. ) For the record, I've been on strict Carnivore diet for 1 month now and have lost more weight, feel great and light, and eczema is 100% gone for first time in 10 years. A lot of these Carnivore diets advocates and Dr.s (I'm sure you know the group I'm referring to, Saladino etc) Say that plants are actually bad for you and full of toxins and anti-nutrients that reek havoc on our autoimmune systems and digestive system. But in your videos, you recommend a massive bowl of salad everyday! I'm just curious, are you still an advocate for eating this way everyday after all your research on carnivore diet, and knowing the fact that people can get all the vitamins and minerals to live and thrive by sticking to a nose to tail Carnivore diet without having to assault their system with all the plant toxins? Thanks for your time.

What do you think of resistance starch ? It seems it slows/reduce insulin spike. Have you researched about it?

The ideas of lowering glucose/insulin and going low carb is NOT what the CRON Studies suggested in order to reap the benefits. Rhesus monkeys had trouble eating the low calorie, nutrient dense food they were given, so sugar was added to it which raised the calories (somewhat) but still kept it within the CRON range and the monkeys ate it and their markets for longevity increased - despite the sugar.

Before keto I did a lot of low calorie diets some even reach to starving the result that I got hypothyroidism, losing hair almost all, slow metabolism and finally a week immune system it is all in my twenties ,but now Thanks GOD I am back to normal losing weight again my thyroid back to normal still in my journey but thanks GOD I find solution

Thanks to Dr. Berg 4 hrs a day eating window is my lifestyle and I feel better and stronger. Lost 30 lbs so far and am enjoying seeing improvement in fitness...turning my life around at 49.

Just dont eat any unhealthy things and eat max 2 times a day untill you're full. Hard at first but becomes easier over time. I eat very healthy and drink a lot of tea (moringa and white is my favourite) and I see my abs while I still run 3x a week. Im in my 20s so that might help. I hope I'll look 30 by the time im 50 doing this

I’ve been doing the 20:4 intermittent fasting and eating keto for 8 months so only salads, roasted Brussel sprouts, peppers, green beans, avocados, eggs, nuts, chicken, etc. but I don’t find my hunger or cravings have gone away AT ALL. I am always wishing I could eat more and eat carbs again

bet902 maybe you are not eating enough fat?

I'm doing KETO since 2 years, and I've always been very skinny. I've tryed IF and now OMAD, but I have to eat A LOT to mantain my weight (I'm hungry most the time). I feel my gallbladder hurting when I eat a large keto meal so I think that OMAD is not good for me. Maybe better eat smaller meals at least 2 times a day. I've done complete abdomen ultrasound and they found nothing, but I have this problem since about 1 year. I maybe need bile salts?

@@Kube_Dog I was thinking the same, but it's near impossible reducing fats on keto diet without increasing proteins.

As always you explain thongs the best.Thank you. I AM drinking fermented grinded cabbage. I feel wonderfull.I have been beaten by mosquitos and no denge .A lot of people have dengue. I also drink blended beet keaves.they are free. I pic them from the market trash. And I don't eat wheat.

that 5/2 diet sounds totally backwards. i kinda did one myself from 18 to 30 ish, but it was eating healthy and working out sun to thursday then letting go a bit with bad foods and alchihol on wkends.

The 5:2 diet was devised by Dr Michael Mosely who is manifestly addicted to his beloved carbs and to the very act of eating as such. Dr Valter Longo never suggested that people who practice the fasting mimicking diet eat any old junk during the non-fasting periods, though there is no sound basis for Longo's recommendation to so drastically restrict protein intake during the non-fasting periods. A book that dispassionately explains the physiology of caloric restriction is "Beyond the 120-year Diet" by the late Roy Walford MD (notwithstanding the fact that he wrote this at a time before the diet-heart hypothesis was shown to be fundamently flawed). A useful study would be one that repeats Walford's Biosphere 2 experiment with human subjects, on a calorie-restricted, nutrient dense, but much higher protein intake. It's noteworthy that Walford was Longo's mentor, yet expressly points out the dangers of protein inadequacy and even in his "Beyond the..." book never advocated such drastic protein restriction as does Longo (nor expresses such anti-meat sentiments as does Longo)..

Well I'm a big fan of goat cheese. But your original comment was way to simplistic and obviously coming from a place of ignorance. Organic is definitely a better food option. I guess you like pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, steroids and radiation in your food. You'd probably like to hunt the whales into extinction too.

Hey Dr Berg what do thing about cows milk , is it healthy or bad Some doctors on youtube says its bad

What about the study showing a moderate carb diet giving the highest life expectancy? The ARIC study followed 14,500 people for 25 years. "From the age of 50, people in the moderate carb group were on average expected to live for another 33 years. This was four years more than those with extreme low-carb diets, 2.3 years more than the low-carb diet grouping and 1.1 more years than the high-carb group." They did find that replacing carbs with plant based protein and fat did not lower life expectancy. But if you're replacing fruit with more meat, you're asking for trouble.

I thought slower metabolism is what makes the cells age slower ? Animals with higher metabolism does have a short life span.

The Calorie Connection RESTRICTING AN ANIMAL'S calorie intake is the most famous intervention known to extend life span. Discovered more than 70 years ago, it is still the only one absolutely proven to work. The restricted regime typically involves reducing an individual's food consumption by 30 to 40 percent compared with what is considered normal for its species. Animals ranging from rats and mice to dogs and possibly primates that remain on this diet not only live longer but are far healthier during their prolonged lives. Most diseases, including cancer, diabetes and even neurodegenerative illnesses, are forestalled. The organism seems to be supercharged for survival. The only apparent trade-off in some creatures is a loss of fertility.

I quite like the Japanese health principle of eating until you're 80% full.

What about cytokines?

Any kind of diet for the long term is unsustainable, people go on diets because they have a weight or health problem that needs immediate attention. Most people are not active enough or participate in sports so they go on crash diets restricting groups for food & becomes deficient so they jump in & out of diets....

I agree. There are high intensity athletes and high intensity gym rats that must have calories,and eat each day. Alot of people sit at a desk or other types of similar things so of course they are frail and place no demands on their bodies, so they have to place restrictions on themselves.

Dr Berg, I'm on keto and i naturally consume significantly lesser calories. I diligently take electrolyte, multivitamins and fair share of greens. How many times a week can one do keto OMAD without destroying metabolism? I'm thinking of just doing OMAD 4 times a week and the rest will be 2 or 3 meals a day.

I started dieting 6 months ago when i hit 91 kg. I went calorie deficit diet and now either im not loosing any weight with that diet or gaining. For the past 5 days i restricted my daily calories to 500 to 600(no suger no carbs) inorder to loose weight. I'm getting results, I was 75kg before 5 days now I'm 72. I'm planned this diet for 1 week just to see the result. But now I'm not happy even though i lost 3kgs i feel very weak and tired, i can't concentrate, I'm feeling sleepy for the whole day. Now i eat eggs 1 or 2 a day fruits especially apple,orange,watermelon,pappaya and some vegetables like spinach, cucumber. Do the "calorie restriction" diet have any long-term health problems? I mean doing it on long intervals? Should i continue this diet or stop it and stick on with the old one? (I'm 24 yrs old)

I have been doing the low calorie diet using high fat, moderate carbs, the good carbs like broccoli, broccoli sprouts, asparagus, etc. I have kept my carbs at 2100 or less a day. Also use time restricted eating. Trouble with this is that I'm deficient in nutrients that I meet with supplements. However, not all nutrients get covered. I'm deficient in potassium.

@@fidelcatsro6948 Only during the summer months. That still won't supply my needs in potassium. I only make up my deficiency in zinc, magnesium, Vitamin C and Vitamin D3 (during the winter) with supplements. Whenever I'm short Vitamin E, I eat some raw sunflower seeds. When short selenium I have 1 or 2 grams of sprouted Brazil nuts. Of course all these add calories to my so called restricted diet of trying to eat 2100 calories or less a day. I'm fat adapted and I find I am satiated with this amount of calories. Consuming only 2100 calories also saves me a lot of money on food. This is important since I'm living off Canada Pension and Old Age Security, plus their guaranteed income supplement.

Dr. Berg, if you ever do a video that covers some of the different types of medications given to diabetics to control their blood sugars please make sure you expose what some of the side effects can be especially Metformin as it can cause blood clots in some people. I had it happen to me and I nearly died with a massive pulmonary embolism in both lungs.

@Der Eric Berg. I am working on losing weight. I am a type 2 diabetic as of last year, Hypertension, Hypothryroid as well. I am 60YO, 5'9", was 290 lbs am now 202 lbs . I use a app called lose it which has been very helpful and I can see my fats, carbs and proteins, fiber, water. Do not liking the feeling of Keto, but I do aim for 70 grams carbs a day, protein 88 gms, fat 100gms. The question is I have lose it app set to 1520 calories a day. I do allow myself to have extra calorie based on exercise. If I am still hungry I will eat an eat or cheese. Do you consider this too low a calorie as I work toward 180 LB? I think others will find you answer useful.

I’m new to the channel, have you done a video yet on how the keto diet affects athletes who care about performance. I would love to go on the keto diet but I compete in sports like, wrestling, Brazilian Jiu jitsu, and power lifting. When ever I go low carb my performance suffers greatly. This diet doesn’t seem optimal for the athlete that performs in predominantly anaerobic activities. I would love to hear your thoughts, thanks
