Dr Berry has been and still is very helpful in my journey to improve my overall health. You scrutinized his 10 tips and i was pleased to see you agreed, say 100% on half of them, and on the rest you either agreed partially or offered a different view that I do not agree from my own experience. For example, Dr Berry said fat is more satiating than carbs and you said the opposite, and I am with Dr Berry there. Overall I enjoyed your video. Please do not be harsh on people who you know are genuine and are offering honest advice. I think you are honest doing your job but there are others trying to grab attention from a reaction video. All the best to you and hope you keep this reviews coming!

[@Physionic]

Thanks, Javier!

[@stoptheinsanity]

Fat is definitely more satiating than carbs. So is protein. Once I eat carbs I don't want to stop and I feel hungry constantly. I'm talking whole foods carbs too, not junk. Junk food is even worse. I can't have just one cookie so I stay away from processed foods. Over 95% of what I eat is homemade.

[@veniqer]

I ate around 90g raw kidney fat this morning. I also ate some eggs and some pork. I was stuffed. No appetite. Fat is insanely satiating.

[@sharonkende4774]

I think Dr. Barry said fat is more satiating than protein but the disagreement was that protein is more satiating than fat

[@randydueck6870]

Dr. Berry provided me with a boost of hope during a period where a chronic health issue caught up with me and I was finally fed up with following the terrible advice from my doctors. I went full carnivore for a month to gain control of gerd. It didnt work very well, but it was part of a journey to reclaiming my health by unconventional means.

Nuitrition is not a one size fits all approach. Eating too much fat and eating too much meat is really bad for some people and can lead to a shorter life. Eliminating sugar (not fruits) is best.

Another good one. I'm looking forward to you covering "sugar addiction" or hopefully more broadly "food addiction." I've read some conflicting information, but I do find the dopamine reaction with some of these engineered food and even long term changes in brain activity interesting. It's such a complex issue.

[@Physionic]

It is. I wouldn’t even pretend to know much about it at this point as I haven’t read many studies on the topic. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to dedicate some time to it and get to the crux of the issue.

I have found videos by Dr Richard Johnson and fructose to be very interesting. Fructose in sucrose and fruit is doing what it is supposed to do: tell your body to gorge up and store fat for the coming winter when food is scarce.

Ken Berry lost me when he told people to NOT drink lemon water because that 1 TBS of lemon juice you put in there had too many carbs in it, which is minimal at best.

[@firebird7479]

Dr. Barry Sears, creator of The Zone Diet (The diet I've had THE MOST success with), stated in his books that combining a little fat with carbohydrates slows down the conversion of carbs to glucose. He stated that a potato chip would take longer to digest than a plain potato. He didn't recommend potato chips but he did say that a little fat a potato (butter, olive oil, sour cream) was better than a plain potato. In my own experience, I have more satiety when I combine proteins fats and carbs. And I intermittent fast every day. I call it "between meals".

[@RobertaPeck]

I believe Dr. Berry has the best of intentions to deliver what is true,therefore I believe he has the good character greatly appreciate your in-depth corrections.

[@lindabirmingham603]

I think Dr Berry tries to keep things simple, which I suspect most of his followers want. I bought his book and quickly realized it wasn't for me. No references included. He should have warned that alcohol tends to disable impulse control. For me, "Night Woman" often shows up. She pours another glass and then gets into the dark chocolate. Then "Day Woman" feels like crap the next day or two. I noticed when I stopped drinking wine that sugar cravings skyrocketed. Similarly, my father traded his daily liter of vodka for a half gallon of ice cream when he quit drinking. Hmmm...

[@Physionic]

Night woman sounds like she really has it in for Day woman. :) Thanks for sharing, Linda.

[@VeganLinked]

Intwemittent fasting goes against intuitive eating. And focusing on protein is completely unnecessary and not helpful. Legumes, greens, grains, fruits, veggies, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices in a variety of each is all you need. And inuitive eating is science based ;)

[@Crismuscle]

From a competitive bodybuilder who's achieved 4.5% body fat: Moderate carbs, Moderate fats, Moderate Protein --> has always worked MOST effectively for me. You mentioned that our bodies know what to do; with the food we ingest, and that is true even if the 3 macro nutrients are utilized in a healthy context. I do not agree with low carb, nor low fat diets. The most shredded, healthy, and overall vibrant (physically and mentally) I have looked is when foods like salmon are added in to the equation, those natural fats from fish are excellent and do wonders to our body. If salmon isn't available, I'll even add in some olive oil to my 200g chicken breast, 200g rice, 200g veg meal (roughly 6 meals a day of). Mind you, this method of eating fits very well for an 'active person', 'mediocre athlete' or 'dream chasing student' whos metabolism/s are firing high.

[@aaronjoseph7573]

Not trying to criticise the criticism... but I think it's important to remember the spirit of intent of the video that's being reviewed. For instance #3, plenty of evidence supports what Nick says, but in the spirit of a "tip for fat loss" ... it doesnt matter (in my opinion) that someone CAN have a sweet beverage amd still lose weight or keep weight off; it's still a tactic that is easily employed, binary in nature, and assists with the overall issues that come along with sweet beverages frequently (like keeping a sweet tooth, vice curbing the habit). Either way though. I love this channel. And appreciate the content.

[@ezinatx]

If you can find 1 or more studies that disagree with just 1 of my 10 claims, does that invalidate the theme of my other 9 claims? What if Dr. Berry added an 11th claim: " If any one of my previous 10 claims is found to be invalid, then my assertions about belly fat will rest upon the remaining claims?" In other words, a "survival" claim stating that the total theme still stands if any 1 or more claims are found to be untrue. Therefore, if sugar is found to NOT be addictive, but just compulsively habit forming, (similar to salt, for example) we can just strike that claim and still discuss the assertion that the 9 other claims may help you reduce belly fat. I was definitely hoping you were aiming to debunk the belly fat assertion, but you went off into the weeds on this video. I'm a subscriber, though, so throw in a survival claim and advance to the next level.

That's right. And making sweeping generalizations about food and nutrition can be harmful for some.

[@mineralchief]

at @16:00 the QUALITY of fat consumed makes a big difference in satiety, not all fat is the same. Saturated animal fats are satisfying, excess omega 6 (PUFA's) a poor quality fat from corn and soy fed monogastric animals like poultry, pork and farmed fish will make you super hungry by hijacking your cannabinoid system the same way pot does. (a significant source of poor quality PUFAs are also found in seed oils.)

It doesn't make a difference to the conclusion presented. I'm simply indicating the difference between two extremes is negligible. However, if you want OMAD, I just released a multi-study analysis on the topic and some of the studies report insulin - no difference.

[@ericwarmath1091]

Your opening disclaimer is pretty spot on. Might just add that as layers of research are added we learn new things that might change opinions over time and that responsible scientists must be willing to follow the science to "the truth" and occasionally change what they believe.

[@luckyhanger1326]

I do a fasting mimicking ketogenic diet for 3 days every two weeks, when I go into ketosis I just stop being hungry. It is amazing! It takes a day to go into nutritional ketosis then I stop being hungry. I'm guessing if you eat fat that is the fat effect....you eat a non-nourishing, non-satiating macronutrient but you got into ketosis and stop being hungry. I think the fat eaters interpret that as being satiated. I see the same mistaken conclusions using continuing glucose monitors....eat a bowl of oatmeal and fruit and you glucose goes up to 120 mg/DL, eat eggs, bacon, and butter and don't see a glucose rise at all. Now if you eat even whole food carbs you glucose will shoot through the roof! All the fat turns off carb processing and you start to head down the path to insulin resistance.

[@sharonkende4774]

I've heard of this but also that if you go into ketosis for long enough,. I think for at least 6 weeks. , that you will be able to create memory. Your cells will have memory of ketosis or your sauce will keep the many mitochondria required for the Beta oxidation of fats but then if you stop ketosis and go back to a regular. Diet that is still healthy that your body will reaadjust and then eventually you can go back-and-forth between ketosis and irregular diet and your body. Will remember how to use fat and sugar.

[@mariomenezes1153]

[@sharonkende4774]

Can you address studies that show a low fat vegan diet is better for long term insulin levels ?

[@Physionic]

[@edkruzel]

There is a problem with fasting, or more specifically with one's idea of the fast. If you eat highly satiating foods, maybe a dense steak, it takes much longer to digest than most believe. Therefore if I finish eating at 8pm and go to sleep at 10 or 11pm, the fast really won't begin until 2 or maybe 3am. Most think they've fasted for 12 to 16hrs when in reality it's only been 6 to 10hrs.

[@carynsommersdorf2453]

I have listened to Dr. Berry for quite some time now. I do practice intermittent fasting a few times a week. I do stick to animal meats, some veggies and every other day some carbs like a baked potato. But I love my red wine, sugar carbs I know! But i love it.

[@lordbuckley6140]

In the Satiety Index, the top food by far is potatoes. Per the top Google result, "Satiety refers to the feelings of fullness between meals, whereas satiation reflects feelings of fullness during ingestion of a meal, acting as a terminating factor." Protein may be the most satiating macronutrient, but satiety matters too. Some people have lost lots of weight eating hardly anything but potatoes. Also, .8 grams per kilogram is widely accepted as sufficient protein for most people.

A High fat diet might be superior in some individuals and pointless in others, depending on your metabolism, health issues and overall lifestyle.

[@jeffreygleaves2931]

I'm glad you reviewed Dr. Berry. Every video says check with your doctor before changing your diet, etc. Well, Dr. Berry would be the guy you'd check with. What kills me is none of these guys agree. Dr. Greger will tell you you're headed for hell in a handbag if you don't go vegan. From personal experience Berry is right about sugar and carbs. If I eat them I want them...big time. After a while on keto those cravings go away. I've even dipped into carnivore for a while and my appetite vanished. Great for weight loss but you wonder if you're wrecking your health. I imagine one of these days I'm going to land in Hell with Dr. Greger brandishing kale at me screaming, "I told you so!'

[@hikedayley9309]

Jeff, The Vegans all have an agenda. I met Dr Greger, he is a real nice guy, however, I don't follow everything he says 100%. I live my life and try to eat everything with moderation. I don't eat lots of red meat but if I want a burger done on the grill I will have one. Moderation in everything works for me.

[@jeffreygleaves2931]

@@hikedayley9309 Yeah, I've noticed that from personal observation. "Vegan" comes off as more religious and political than actual concern about nutrition. My sister and brother in law have been hippy vegans for decades and what they're preaching would be a lot more convincing if they were actually healthy. They're burdened by the same health problems as everyone else, heart disease, etc. They keep the weight off but they're pasty and frail.

[@ash9259]

You should do what's right for you. Greger is a gibberish generator and i wouldn't recommend him if you are at all interested in veganism. Carbs come in different forms, there is starchy fibrous carbs, and crappy carbs. You want to be eating starchy carbs, especially in a homemade sauce, perhaps with some rice, you will be satiated for several hours since the fiber adds bulk and also improves the health of your small and large intestine. As for fats, omega-3 rich fats are the best, such as fish if not primarily fish. A diet rich in fish and healthy carbs has been proven time and time again to be the healthiest and easiest to sustain diet - satiation is easy when and only when you know what you are doing. The reason you become satiated on a keto diet, for example, is because you are in a caloric deficit for extended periods of time and your body readjusts its metabolic rate and hormone secretions to compensate. Try not to listen to people like Greger, you should also avoid people like Dr Eric Berg. I do not really have much of an opinion of Ken because he does make some good points and some bad points, the best thing to do is hit the most accredited nutrition books written not by journalists (those are typically awful) but qualified Nutritionists (not dietitions, nutrutionists!).

[@fabienpaillusson7390]

At 5min52s I find your presentation of the total fat mass outcome to be incomplete and consequently possibly misleading. There is an observed difference in % fat mass gained between the sucrose soda group and milk, even in isocaloric conditions. The actual % fat mass gained on average by the sweetened soda group is about double that of the milk group. What is true is that this difference is so-called "not statistically significant" for the chosen cohort sizes because the mean of the soda cohort is contained in the 95% confidence interval of the milk cohort. But, aside from this somewhat arbitrary statistical measure which tends to be abused, we can also see that basically no-one lost fat on soda (with a lower bound of fat gained in the ~+0.5%) while the milk group had members losing up to ~1% of fat during the study. As far as the above supplemental information is concerned, this study does indicate that drinking milk is likely better than soda for total fat mass management. If I misunderstood what the table showed please let me know.

[@Physionic]

I see your point, Fabien. I would still disagree that I'm misrepresenting the point, however. It's true that the measured difference is, for all intents and purposes, double that of the milk condition. However, I would disagree that the statistical significance is arbitrarily abused in this situation (although, I acknowledge it is in some situations), because the p-value is extremely high, indicating a strong likelihood we can't reject the null. Now, it could be argued that with a larger sample size, we might see an effect, but 3 things: one, we can't assume a statistical effect without conducting the research (so, while we may believe that there is a difference, we can't assume it until it's tested, so we should stand by the data we have in front of us), and two, if the p-value were 0.15 or 0.1, I'd agree with you that it seems likely there may be an effect I'm overlooking, but the p-value is so far away, I would argue that even if you double the sample size, the lack of an effect would remain. Additionally, I didn't mention the amount consumed, but it was 1 liter a day, so let's assume you're right and there is added fat gain - the effect size is pretty inconsequential when consuming such a large amount of sugar for a 2lb difference (from baseline - less, if compared against the milk group) over a 6 month period. If we move the conversation beyond this study, there are plenty of other studies that also show that mass amounts of sugar consumption, in energy controlled circumstances, do not impede weight of fat loss. In this first study I'll link (I'll post them in the follow up comment in case KZbin deletes it), the sample size was larger, and the sugar consumption was a comparison of 43% sugar vs 4% sugar and found no differences. The second study I'll post is a meta-analysis of many studies indicating that heightened sugar consumption without accounting for overall intake *does* increase bodyweight and body fat, but once overall consumption is controlled for, sugar consumption loses this effect. Finally, let me say that I appreciate your approach. I've added amendments to my videos before, because people like you make excellent points. I may not agree with you entirely (I do see your point and I think it's a good argument), but I respect your approach and really appreciate hearing from you, so allow me to say "thank you" for being intelligent, full of class, and thoughtful. I appreciate you.

[@fabienpaillusson7390]

​@Physionic thank you for the detailed and polite reply. I am not intending to be contrarian just for the sake of it. When I mention the arbitrariness of the 95% CI, I am criticising an entire practice and what I believe to be a general misusage of statistics (I recommend the read of the short article "Mindless Statistics" by Gigerenzer). Not a critique of your channel or yourself in particular, who do a great job at compiling research data on nutrition. Even if one chooses a 95%CI as a universal judgement criterion for statistical significance (which should be questionned every single time in my opinion) and that the CI of one cohort contains the mean of the comparative cohort, it doesn't mean that "no difference was found". No, actually, the difference in means must be reported alongside the fact that this was not statistically significant with the chosen criterion for statistical significance. The fact that the p-value is large is not independent from the 95% CI of each cohort. So, the 95% CIs and the p-value cannot be used as independent evaluation criteria of statistical significance. They are two different ways of presenting the same information (in fact, as you know, the p value is a sort of aggregate value of means and CIs). To be honest, a p value of 0.8 is a bit suspicious in that it may indicate that the study is underpowered for the effect it tries to observe. The CI widths in both cohorts are about the same (and huge relative to the measured effect), indicating a similar variability despite the different drinks, but the means are completely different, albeit completely washed out by the statistical noise...which would also include the water cohort by the way. All that being said, I really enjoy the fact that your channel does help showcasing the complexity of physiology by illustrating the fact that no single blanket statement will work for everyone and all situations. To be honest, that is kind of the reason why I take issue with blanket assertive statements on the universal validity of CICO for managing fat loss. They grossly oversimplify everything. With regards to the literature in general, I am aware that meta-analyses may show various things, but I personally tend to give very little credit to most meta-analyses, which I see as glorified cherry picking. It is beyond me how such statistical methods are considered the "gold standard" of scientific medical research. I am not against the notion of combining data from multiple research findings, but, in my opinion, all relevant articles should be featured in the research, with perhaps various filters being successively applied as we wish to screen for research type (RCT or observational), "quality of evidence", potential biases etc... Rather, most meta-analyses claim to compile the information from thousands of papers and end-up just looking at 10 of them, with often very subjective selection criteria. The conclusions of a meta-analysis should always be put alongside the selection criteria, otherwise they are completely misleading in my opinion. In any case, thank you for your work and for the additional references as well 🙏. P.S. : I have read the channel rules and am aware that this comment addresses other things than what was specifically discussed in the video.

Hfcs (high fructose corn syrup) is not the same as sugar, either. Hfcs is dangerous for the liver. I agree with what Larry says about sugar or sugar cane (fructose/glucose) or fructose from fruit being ok if you move enough and get nutrients you need.

[@Physionic]

Do you know the composition of HFCS vs regular sugar?

[@sharonkende4774]

@Physionic I know that they both contain glucose and fructose, but that fructose levels are higher in hfcs, at least in drinks. There is controversy about whether fructose causes fatty liver and subsequent weight gain. However, it is curious that with the invention of hfcs, obesity and fatty liver did rise considerably.

Do You maybe know why am I so extremely sleepy after spending some time outside? Also, is it better to workout outdoors or indoors- I mean strength training?

I went back 7 years and watched all of Dr. Berry's videos, it helped me out start out carnivore, he also enunciates and i really appreciate that. But I'm the first one to tell new carnivores to seek more nuanced carnivore influencers and Dr. Berry isn't enough here, his message is generic for the ignorant public.

[@infini_ryu9461]

I think it also depends on the type of fat. A fat with a lot of micronutrients I imagine would be pretty satiating. Also, people on a low carb diet should not avoid being kicked out of ketosis at least once or twice a day, that being at their meals. People need to stop thinking of the body with red lines and more gradients. Not being in ketosis has benefits itself particularly with holding onto electrolytes from the food, this could solve a lot of people having issues on keto with electrolyte problems. I've heard of Vegan-Keto and for that this solution is virtually impossible.

[@Alice-xy3fi]

It's true, re sugar addiction, that we're not eating straight sugar, but sugar together with other highly palatable foods. But it's also true that some people who can't help but binge on, say, foods containing starches and fats, can easily resist over consuming starches and fats together, but sans sugar. I also don't get that research that showed, if I correctly understood what you said, that food reward in general-- that is, food that tastes good to us-- is the driver of over-eating, rather than food that tastes good and contains sugar. That may be true in general, but they should have done the experiment with avowed sugar addicts, who have little or no trouble avoiding binging on other foods they enjoy that contain no sugar, but are unable to resist over-consuming, even binging, on sugar-containing foods-- in some cases, even fruits-- and must therefore treat all sweet/sugar containing foods the way alcoholics treat alcohol, i.e., abstain. There are other similarities between sugar addicts (if there is such a thing), including binge eating sugar until a certain mental state exists which has been said to be the equivalent of an alcohics "feeling no pain," or even passing out. Another similarity is the cravings-- the existence, the intensity/persistence and intrusive thoughts-- and their being triggered by consumption (another thing that many, if not most, people who see themselves as sugar addicts don't experience with non-sweet hyperpalatable foods. They might eat potato chips, and even over consume them, but that won't set them off on a potato or starch binge, or cravings for potatoes (even made hyperpalatable with the addition of butter and salt) or other starchy, salty foods. Some people have the same response to highly palatable foods containing artificial sweeteners (e.g., candy, cookies, etc. sold as "keto" and "sugar free" or "low carb"), so if there is an addiction, maybe it's to the taste of sweetness+hyperpalatability rather than the chemical composition of sugar...in which case maybe it's the fast, reliable dopamine hit from intense pleasure found in the combination of sweetness + hyperpalatabity to which they might be addicted. That is, maybe they are addicted to the effect rather than the cause (maybe that might be true of alcoholics, dopers and other addicts as well. I don't know if there's any research around this possibility, let alone what might distinguish addicts from others, that makes them turn to these substances where non-addicts either don't need those dopamine releases or get them elsewhere).h Maybe, if this was the case, it might be analogous to sex addiction, in which I assume there are multiple factors, such as the excitement of danger, the pleasurable orgasmic release (if that's a prerequisite) and maybe other ingredients.

You did not say anything about the "sweet talk" he combined into the alcohol warning but I would like your take. 9:31 Alcohol need to be 9:41 "sweetener free" 9:46 "no artificial sweeteners" He does not specifically say it here, but has in another video, that the sweet taste he is talking about includes that from stevia as well. I have long disagreed with this claim that mere "sweet taste" (like from stevia) can raise your insulin level. I believe that is reading in a false "psychosomatic" tie to actual "physiological processes". Just because your taste buds or brain(mind) react does not mean your blood will. Your thoughts?

[@GeoffiNaw]

Most all of the information humans need to be healthy has been out there for quite some time concerning foods. Eat whole, natural foods and limit overall calories. KZbin influencers and rando "docs" will never overpower the body of evidence based science that humanity has built up over time, with room to improve always of course. There is no "easy hack" or "trick" to cheat the system to live longer, etc.. that's all click-bait for videos and such.

I feel like your critcism about drinking juice or cola is off the mark because of the audience he is addressing. These are not metabolically healthy people just wishing to add a sugary drink to their otherwise healthy diet. No, he is speaking to people who are quite likely metabolically unhealthy, attempting to lose weight, maintain a state of ketosis. A single 12oz. juice or cola alone will likely kick the person out of ketosis as well as occupy the liver with fructose and many other fat storage processes.
