I started intermittent OMAD a couple of months ago, but I mostly do 2 Meals a Day. I keep my carbs under 50 grams. I use Heavy Whipping Cream and 2 Stevias in my coffee and I also intermittently have Strawberry Cheesecake Fat Bombs to keep my sanity!

[@sallyjordan3250]

Angela, I struggled for about a month even after Two meals a day. So the week of Thanksgiving, I did OMAD leading into Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving Day I ate!!! From pea salad to my Delicious Dressing to my Sweet Ham to my awesome mashed potatoes and even a slice of pumpkin pie!! I also had some leftovers the next day (Friday), but I got back on OMAD on Monday and on Tuesday when I weighed in, I had lost 2 pounds!! Lol Our bodies are totally awesome. I believe my body was in shock from all that I had eaten and decided to do a thorough clean out! It did not like all the food I had eaten! Also, my heel flared up on Sunday because of all the poison I had eaten but by Tuesday, I was back to normal! Yayyy!! As far as meals, on OMAD, like this afternoon around 1:00pm, I had a huge Romaine Taco Salad with beef, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese a very small portion of refried beans. I made sure I ate extra lettuce. That was it. This evening I will drink about 6 ounces of pickle juice with about 4 tbsp. of Apple Cider Vinegar. This helps with the clean out. 😁

Dear HIT, I really was addicted to sugar. In the evenings sometimes, I would tell my husband, "I want some cake" lol. We both got on this diet. He got on it 2 weeks after me when he saw my face was shrinking. He started 2 weeks after me and passed me in the weight loss, but Dr Berry and Dr Berg said this was normal for a man to lose faster than a woman. Not fair! But, anyways...we both have lost over 60 pounds a piece. It helps when you have a partner to encourage each other.💜

Been using an infrared sauna daily for 4 years. My motivation was heavy metals and parasites detox. This combined with healthy keto and intermittent fasting has helped me to cut down high levels of inflammation, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Oh and I lost and maintained a 50 lbs weight loss but most importantly I learned it’s not about the weight and while I have been doing OMAD for 2 years I am at peace with food-no cravings. I am 60 and I feel better then in my 20th when I was working out 4 hours a day and on low fat diets. It’s fun to feel great and learn about the body, very causative.

I have been using the sauna after a workout regularly for the last 6 months now. I’m currently doing 25 minutes per session. I split the time in the sauna between lying flat and sitting down. What I find remarkable is the calming effect lying down has on my mental and emotional state. I’ve recently been experiencing high levels of anxiety and one thing that truly helps, where I feel an immediate tangible impact is lying flat in a sauna. Don’t know why exactly, but I highly recommend it. Take a towel to lie on and have a bottle of water with you.

One of the fondest memories I have with my Dad was when we used to sauna together. Every year, my Dad, a suited business man, had a booth at the Kansas State Fair, and he would stay at the Holidome in the town where the fair was held. We would visit him, and the hotel and pool, specifically, was like a Polynesian Paradise. We would first sit in the sauna and my Dad would show me how to water the rocks so as to steam the sauna more…lol, then, we would soak our bones in the jacuzzi, and after that, we would hop out, run to the pool, and do the Polynesian Plunge, as he would call it, and cannonball into the ice cold water of their super cool pool. He would speak of the health benefits of such a ritual and I never saw it as such, just some chill time with my Father, who was always away on business, and I so enjoyed one of the few times that stress did not shade our moments in his life. I will revisit this health regimen, Doc, and thanks for reminding me of a wonderful memory with my Dad and also how he did know a thing or two about health, although I never really saw it that way, then. 🌻

I’ve been following your advice for about two years now. I eat not perfect but I have learned to eat more healthy protein and fats and half the carbs I use to eat. I now take one pill a day instead of the five medicines I was taking. I no longer have diabetic problems, I lost thirty pounds and make beautiful paintings because my mind thinks more clearly and I have a love for life that is full instead of half empty. Bro hug from your Montana friend.

[@Drberg]

Perfect!

Hey, Dr Berg. Can you turn up the gain/volume on your microphone? I listen to KZbin all day while I work and your channel is notably quieter than other ones i watch.

[@alicegunn3970]

Dr Berg, everytime I try to go into a sauna I seem to get extremely dizzy and have to leave it. I've been like this since I was a child. I am now 56 years old. Even humid environments knock me off my game. Have you ever heard of this from anyone else?

[@showboat4869]

Sounds like you have low blood pressure or blood sugar

[@alicegunn3970]

@Show Boat my BP is on the high side and I'm 5.6 on the fasting glucose test. 5.7 is considered pre diabetic so I'm at the door with it

[@youngpower24]

Have you seen Laird Hamilton’s process? He goes back and forth between chryo and sauna one after another. I think building that flexibility into the body’s cellular structure is pretty brilliant.

[@williamsworld523]

Very informative as ever. Any videos planned for steam room and spa / hot tub? Keep up the good work!

[@iriswilson1978]

I would like to know the benefits of the hot tub use as well.

Would a really hot bath/ hot tub have the same effects of a sauna?

[@mydlonozka]

nope

This man is fine wine

[@IAMElsLife]

Great information, thank you so much Dr. Berg.❤🙏🏽

[@Drberg]

You're very welcome!

[@rfahy72]

Hah! Love that sauna thumbnail pic with Dr. Berg.

[@saraechevarria6155]

I wonder if using a steam shower have the same benefits. Or what are the benefits from taking a steam shower.

[@whagerty6768]

Hi Dr. Berg, what about a steamroom/wet sauna? I assume those have similar benefits, but is profuse sweating in those to be avoided? Thanks - Brian

[@nasirkazmi67]

In the history of Thumbnails....this is the most awesome one :D

[@RandomHuTaoSimp]

Lol yeah

[@blakegreen1827]

The thumbnail cracks me up! 😂 Dr. Berg is the GOAT of natural medicine, always good content! 👍

[@nancybaumgartner6774]

I have an infrared sauna and love it. I use it 3-5x per week , usually at 145 degrees for 20-25 minutes. It also has an infrared light feature - I use red at night and blue during the day.

[@ac8074]

So I’ve been visiting an infrared sauna for the past month since my last comment. I’ve easily gone 4x or more per week every week. I can’t confirm all of what’s shared here but I can say my resting heart rate is lower, my blood pressure is better, and after a session I feel zen afterwards for hours. I enjoyed it so much I bought a monthly unlimited package to use the saunas at a local yoga studio. I’ve been using the full 45min session usually and i have the temp usually between 135-150. I’ve found it to be extremely relaxing and a great escape after a long workday. Seems the use of saunas is in a lot of videos lately or perhaps its just the algorithm pushing content to me but so far I am seeing a benefit. Oh and my skin is much smoother now too. When I first started I didn’t seem to sweat as much; now I sweat like CRAZY so I’m sure it’s been beneficial for my lymphatic system for sure. Thx for the vid doc.

[@OnilVarghese]

Such an informative video. Thank you so much Dr Berg. Are you able to highlight the differences between traditional sauna and infrared sauna with their benefits or side effects?

[@Drberg]

We can't find any information on this but thanks for the video suggestion. Dr. Berg's Support Team.

[@PeopleHealthTec]

@@Drberg Most of the listed sauna benefits also apply to mild exercise in a hot climate? plus you get all the benefits of sunlight.

[@mekman4]

Thank you! I did cold showers for two weeks and despite the burst of energy I scaled those showers back to just burst of cold water during my regular showers to get the shock to my system. I Just couldn’t do it. Otherwise, I have the knowledge, maybe the summer time would be a better time to explore those.

[@CTX50]

I've tried the cold showers thing several times and found there to be ZERO benefit. All it accomplished was it made me feel poor like a homeless person. Hot running water, and a sauna, make me feel rich. Waaay better!

[@MajorasThirdEye]

@@CTX50 cold showers have been proven to have lots of benefits.

[@mrriesen9004]

I built a wood burning in my backyard, totally addicted. I use an outfitter stove, (thin walls) it has crock pot with river rocks, heats up to 200 F in 10 minutes. Very little maintenance, stain the cedar every few years, not like a hot tub. Never buy wood, just keep an eye out for it. The steam from rocks is super hot, for something different, I'll drop a large chunk of ice on the rocks and get the slow steam going.

[@isaacjmay]

Try taking Niacin and doing jumping jacks or burpees for 15 minutes before hand. You’ll sweat like you’ve never sweat in your life.

[@bvneel]

Is a steam bath better than a sauna? Is it okay to do a 15 min session of each, whilst obviously hydrating with water?

[@TheRelger]

Steam is good for your lungs.

[@Drberg]

I will check with Dr. Berg about this! Dr. Berg's Support Team.

[@bvneel]

@@Drbergdid he have anything to say about this?

[@Dora-wc8be]

Always great information Dr Berg. Thank you. Saunas are a great way to unwind and relax. There was a time when I used to take sauna soon after aerobic sessions.

[@Drberg]

That's great. It is indeed relaxing. Thanks for your comment.

[@pierrewallberg1015]

Tack Dr Berg. För info:) Jag bastar 2 till 3 gånger i veckan:)👍💖

[@EB1000]

Dear Dr Berg, are you aware of the recent study conducted over 40 years and claiming that skipping meals especially breakfasts and doing intermitened fasting, increases rate of CVD related mortalities? I'd love to hear your thoughts about this. Thanks

[@NYsFinestDiva]

I heard this recently too from a link someone sent me. I immediately wondered what Dr. Berg's thought were on it. IF, OMAD and Keto have all helped me (thanks to Berg)and it does work. So, it was hard for me to accept the study findings. But, definitely not disregarded.

[@pepper6253]

Thank you Dr Berg for the info, please let us know how long a session in the sauna should be to benefit from daily.

[@davidg.5647]

15 to 20 minutes

[@SFCISME]

I put in a tradional sauna after first having an IR. They will both make you sweat but the traditional sauna has made a huge difference in my BP. I try to get in it at least 4X a week for 30 minutes per session. Ours gets up to around 210 degrees. The IR struggled to hit 140. I highly recommend traditional sauna.

[@shy-guy5544]

Nice video as usual. It is my understanding that the effects of sauna last about 48 hours. I use a sauna several times a week, followed by a cold shower, and feel refreshed afterwards.

[@kentborges5114]

RIGHT ON DOC ! THANK YOU, I am putting together my infrared dry sauna ! Primo advice !

[@seattlesix9953]

Another side benefit is you can easily withstand prolonged 40 degree F showers after getting out of a sauna. Built one in my home and got the point where rubbing snow was great
