Why Your Doctor’s Advice is WRONG about Weight Loss

Doctors mean well, but they often give unhelpful advice, especially to people who need to lose weight to improve their health. Being give unhelpful advice by a "expert" can lead to weight-loss failure, for which you will be blamed.
You'll be surprised at just how many doctors are over-weight. I reveal the percentages in this video and give more info in the links below.

My favorite example of the wrong "expert" advice is John Warner, former president of the American Heart Association (AHA), suffering a heart attack during the associations annual conference at the age of 52 and had to have his heart shocked back to function by a defibrillator. Most likely he was following their own advice but was unable to see that their guidelines are wrong.

[@SwitchMonkey]

Doc, I haven’t eaten a drop of sugar in two years. Since I started following your advice I have eaten only meat in the last two years. My biggest problem is with how much Magnesium and Potassium supplements I should add. Too much magnesium is a little bit rough on my bowels and it’s really hard to get enough potassium to supplement my diet. I put salt on everything and it’s delicious. My blood pressure is fine. In order to lose weight I’ve had to decrease the amount of food I eat. Right now I eat around 250 grams of protein each meal. I fast about 16 hours between dinner and breakfast. I’m rarely hungry and never snack. It’s amazing.

[@poobearsbeautifulgoddess2416]

Try organ meats if you haven't already... liver is the most nutrient dense food... also, I know you're doing carnivore, but it won't hurt to have an avocado once in awhile...try and get your nutrients from food first... good luck to you 💪❤️😉🥩

I twisted my knee and tore my meniscus. After seeing an orthopedic doctor, getting a MRI, and having 40 ccs of liquid drained off my knee, I was sent to an orthopedic surgeon. He took one look at me and said I didn't need surgery on my knee, I needed to loose weight. He mentioned gastric surgery at least 3 times while explaining to me that my knee was not swollen, just fat. When I mentioned that it was not like this before I twisted it, and that my left knee wasn't 'swollen', he started explaining asymmetrical body parts to me! It was all I could do to get out of there without giving him a piece of my mind. I am a very vocal person, but felt I would be wasting my breath... Thank you so much for what you do...God bless you.

I enjoy not preparing three meals a day, not taking up my time with eating three plus meals a day, as I once did. Hey and less dishes to wash with just one meal a day.

I'm looking for answers. I have been keto for three years. I have lost 90 lbs following your advice. I have been at a complete stand still for over a year. I'm eating ketovore, twice per day. I have eliminated cheese, sugar free keto condiments, I eating whole foods. I drink 80 oz of water at least per day. I definitely do not over eat. I have tried fasting, I have given up dairy, etc... nothing I do makes a change. I ate 13 days in the month of February. I did not eat more than a normal meal on feast days. Initially, I lost 7 lbs. Within two weeks, I was right back to where I started. I excersise 6 days per week, I'm post menopause, my labs last year showed my hormones are great, etc...I do have insulin resistance, but what could cause a complete stop. I do not snack, it is not carb creep. I eat meat and eggs. My dirtiest food is salsa for dipping. The salsa is clean, and I do not eat it everyday. I use healthy fats, I'm not hungry, I eat until full. My blood sugars are running 82 or so and hour or two after meals. I still have 100 lbs to lose. I'm at a complete loss. I do feel better, but I cannot be healthy at 100 lbs over weight. I listen to advice non stop and nothing is working. NO KETO TREATS or products. I need something new to give me hope.

The problem is nearly nobody understands WHY we are all obese all of a sudden. Pretty much nobody was obese in the 1950s. It all stems from oxidative stress caused by high linoleic acid diets. Cut out the linoleic acid and replace most your carbs with good red meat and you'll shed adipose weight and increase muscle weight. I'm living proof. Dr Chris Knobbe, Dr Paul Saladino, Dr Mercola, Dr Jason Fung, Nina Teicholz, Tucker Goodrich. The problem isn't that the science doesn't know all this, it's that doctors are taught in medical institutions that do not care for accuracy or patient health. Doctors become complacent in their practices and stop seeking additional information. Even this video doesn't remark on the actual cause of obesity, even if he got everything right.

THANK Dr Berry!!!!!! Started Keto in January, ate until I was comfortably stuffed. Very little results. Two weeks ago went Carnivore, the fat is falling off! Just what I need at almost 60 yrs old

Thanks Dr Berry. I was a 40lb overweight emergency doc. I found you on youtube 2 years ago and my obesity is gone, along with the sleep apnoea and AF!!!

I think a lot of older family doctors are lazy. They do not read research, they are stuck in the time zone that they trained in. They are like that person who only listens to music that was popular when they were young. My endo recently retired, my younger endo is happy for me to be doing IF and low carb and I no longer need insulin. (in only 8 weeks)

[@CaponeCabin]

I feel better now 9 weeks into carnivore than I have in years! Chronic lyme disease, Hashimoto's, Fibromyalgia , chronic fatigue syndrome.......off meds! I'm living again, not just existing. I had to be my own researcher and stop listening to my Doctors who were just feeding me pills.

Lockdown sucked for a year. I picked up 45# to 246 at age 63. I was over a bit at 201+ in the beginning of the year - best weight for me at 6-0 was 175#. Saw a primary for 1st time in 5+ yrs had bloodwork ordered. A month later I see the Physicians Assistant. I eat keto now but had to eat processed during lockdown. I now...and its what i was eating before I saw the Primary care Dr.... I eat protein/fat, i buy from the Amish, steaks, pork loin, bacon, eggs (free range/no antibiotic/hormones) and some cheeses and sliced low salted turkey breast. Few veggies. No junk food, no more processed food, no sugars (no sodas etc), no starches. Blood work came back: Cholesterol 297 Triglycerides 100 HDL 46 LDL CHOL CALC 231 Non HDL Cholesterol 251 CHOL/HDL ratio 6.5 VLDL 20 ----- HGB A1C 4.9% TSH 4.88 (i may have mishandled a cats thyroid medication) Vitamin D was 21, insufficient, borderline deficient. The PA, wants me to avoid all saturated fats, take 80mg Lipitor and basically eat like a rabbit. And insists that the eggs will increase my cholesterol. Did order me prescription vitamin D at 50k once a week. I will take the vitamin D, but its no sense arguing with the PA....just gonna look for a new primary care Drs office. I've placed the bottle of meds on a shelf as motivation. I have lupus, not taking anything that screws with the kidneys or the liver. Wish me luck. Its been a week, I've added walking 4 miles per day.

[@timriehl1500]

I am so tired of doctors and PA's in their 20's and early 30's telling me I'm obese. I know that. What I need is real help losing weight. I don't eat processed foods or fast food and I exercise; they look at me like they think I'm lying. Makes me not want to go to the doctor anymore.

[@vas4739]

Dr Berry you are such a good man! I’ve been doing keto/ IF 2 yrs 8 months and it’s my lifestyle and it’s wonderful! My cardiologist is against it... oh well! But a book called “Undoctored” told me not to alienate my doctors, rather invite them on MY journey to better health. My PCP was excited. Cardiologist - not so much. But the consideration here is in case I need either of them in some kind of emergency the respect I show them just might make a difference.

Exactly! I also think many people also forget the dr. is not in the boss. WE PAY THEM, THEY WORK FOR US. why the hell would you pay someone to make you sick?

[@donnahamilton1843]

My doctor is very kind, but she doesn't have a clue about losing weight. She's told me to eat six meals a day, do WW, and recently the nurse practitioner in the office told me to continue my "low carb/low fat/low salt" diet. Ha. There is no such thing as that kind of diet, but I didn't have time to debate with her at that time since I was about to be done. Unfortunately, I had gotten off the proper human diet for a long while, but now I am back and very determined to keep pushing forward.

Do you have suggestions for macros for a 47 year old? I’m frustrated

[@shanagirl33]

@@PhoenixtheNovice I don't have macros. But, I am 53, I do intermittent fasting (mostly one meal a day). I will have coffee with a little cream in the morning. Occasionally lunch. And either eat beef, some butter, some cheese, maybe a few olives or avocado. I eat until I am satisfied. Then do it all again the next day. Once in a while I'll have salad with dinner. Mostly though, the meat (or fish or chicken) with butter and cheese. It's the consistency. It takes time. And I don't know if what I do will work for everyone. I've tweaked it over the 9 months. I guess I would label it keto carnivore. Watch Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Berry, Neisha, Dr. Cywes, Laura Spath, Health Coach Kait and others. It's all variations on the same idea.

Giving the wrong advice unknowingly does not require an apology. But giving the wrong advice knowingly - like the food industry, is a crime. Giving the correct advice, in the face of mainstream adversity, whilst saving multiple lives, deserves a medal.

[@rantygobshyte8219]

Ah I do find your voice soothing, shame I'm in the UK and in bed when you do the livestreams. Interesting thing - last time I went for a health check, the Dr asked me if I ate a healthy diet. I said yes. Je didn't specify they type of diet, didn't ask me what I ate, or anything. He probably assumed I ate the standard awful food pyramid diet, but he didn't ask that. I wouldn't call it progress but at least I'm not getting nagged 🤣

30 years ago I had a doctor who kept a soft toy on his desk in his office. The T shirt on the toy read “I’m not fat, I’m just under tall”. Every time I went to his office all I could think was “I beg to differ...and you’re the doctor!” 30 years ago I could have done with a doctor who could give good dietary advice. If only I was told then what I have come to learn from you now....... Hopefully at 53 it’s not too late!

[@msg4925]

It’s not too late! I started carnivore almost 7 months ago. I’m 53. I’ve struggled with my weight for decades-at least 30 years. In my 30s, I had a bit of success following the McDougall program-which is basically a very HCLF vegan diet-but it didn’t last long and I totally messed up my thyroid, and ended up having to have half of my thyroid removed. Despite trying to stick to a HCLF diet and exercising 5 days a week, I continued to gain back weight, getting over 200 lbs (I’m 5’4”). Since going carnivore, I’ve lost over 30lbs so far. I’m starting to be able to wear clothes I haven’t been able to get into in 10-15 years. I rarely have joint pain anymore and I can’t remember the last time I had a migraine. I have more energy and, the best part, much more mental clarity. Granted, I wish I’d lose weight a bit faster, but I do have hypothyroidism and menopausal, however, I am making progress. For the first time in ages, I have hope concerning my weight and overall health.

[@jona5517]

I've been a first responder since 2008 and remember when I first started to work and bring patients to the ER and seeing many Doctors and other heathcare providers out in front of the hospital smoking, eating junk and overweight in plain sight of others....yet they are telling us how to live. They still do it, but do it "behind the scenes" where others don't see, even though the entire hospital is a no smoking property....

[@megaswenson]

I'm sure that the irony of a certain donut franchise sending free donuts to frontline healthcare workers, during the recent health "crisis", was not lost on you. The combination of inflammatory 'PUFA' oils, plus wheat flour, plus sugar, was exactly what was needed, to turn already-stressed/already-unhealthy medical personnel into ICU PATIENTS. How better to inflate the numbers?

[@usamwhambam]

I learned about insulin resistance, high blood sugar level, keto, low carbohydrate intake, and intermittent fasting in December 2019, the day after my blood pressure was measured at 198/120. On that day the nurse said I should lay down and think good thoughts and a doctor wanted to me to take another pill. About doctors, nurses, and other medical/nutrition workers being overweight and obese; I have seen that for years, being 66 years old, and always felt apprehension about the advise from these porky-physique, white-garbed medical persons.

Your videos got me to try the carnivore diet. I refer you to anyone who asks how I managed to lose so much weight. Keto worked a bit for me, but I kept gaining and losing in cycles. The carnivore approach changed everything. It's simple and effective. In the last two years I've lost and kept off 65 lbs. I'm in my 70s and feeling better than I have in years. I've also notice my arthritis is getting better. Thanks for getting me on this path.

They remind me about professors.....they may be number one in one special thing, but start to sound pathetic when they start talking about everything they know nothing about!!

Keto + IF is changing my life, thank you. I am curious about something however. How is it that Vegans who eat high carbs, pasta, bread... are still able to lose weight, decrease insulin resistance, etc. ?

[@CreativeLivingwithLisa]

Have you heard of a weight loss program called Naturally Slim? My employer is paying for it and I joined in January. At first I thought it was going to be good because they talked about eating until you are comfortably full and only eat when you are hungry. Ok, I like IF and OMAD. But then the lessons were about how you can eat all your favorite foods, just in smaller portions, eat slowly using a system of eating for 10 minutes, waiting for 5 minutes, then resume eating for 10 minutes. They also say eat your favorite foods first. Nothing is off limits! If you get hungry between meals they say to drink something called H2Orange. It's a concoction of 1 part OJ to 7 parts water. You sip on it throughout the day to fight hunger. The rest of the program is telling you how to overcome emotional and stress eating. It's pointless. People claim to loose weight on. I'm going back to keto after falling off the wagon a couple years ago. It's the only way I can loose weight.
