What Dr. Berg Eats

[@benitasuhwiel7311]

I’m originally from Bosnia and I came here as a child, I remember traveling back to my country as a kid and picking the fruits off the trees. The first time I went back and picked an apple from the tree to eat it, I couldn’t stop, my mouth dropped at amazement of how delicious that apple was. Til this day I am now 30 years old, I always think of that apple. Our food here is empty, I am so thankful you are spreading wonderful information

[@treishtrei]

Being from Romania and still having seasonal "correct" salad, tomatos, I agree with your statement. Usual veggies in the US taste like paper and even the good farmer ones dont come close

[@hihoo7969]

It's the same in the UK. The veggies taste like water even the ones that are organic. I come from Ghana and veggies here are so flavourful and tasty. You don't need much dressing to enjoy them.

[@btagg2024]

Almost all of my favorite pepper and tomato varieties are from eastern Europe. The flavor is amazing compared to anything we have in the US. Some varieties we can get here but there are so many we cannot. I've been contemplating ordering seeds from Poland and hoping they pass through customs.

[@loveyallyangu]

I hadn't really considered my general dislike for most vegetables heavily involved how they were farmed. Definitely need to keep that in mind.

[@paolac.1678]

@@loveyallyangu when I moved from south America to Canada, immediatly I notice a great bad change in the flavor of veggies! Here they are almost tasteless or sometimes taste bitter. Apples depending on the brand the taste is really different.

[@KetovoreWayOfLife]

I'm in the US. When the soil is depleted of needed vitamins and minerals and chemicals are used you're veggies and fruit will taste disgusting but you get used to it unfortunately

You’ve certainly inspired me. I’ve been doing the 20:4 intermittent fasting for slightly over two weeks and I’ve lost a stone already. I really let myself go. I’ve just become a father so need to get healthy. All of your advice really has helped me and re-educate my way of thinking. So thank you.

[@darnitthelma4247]

20:4?? That’s called an eating disorder @jjammy😢

[@jjammy1007]

@@darnitthelma4247 I think my original way of eating was the disorder. Eating for the sake of it, I used to eat things that I didn’t even want and was just greedy. I stopped the keto diet a while back. I want to get back into it, it’s just hard. Need more will power. Anyway it was more of a 23:1 diet. Fasting for 23 hours and have one meal in that hour. I really stuck to it last time around and it really helped shift some weight. Ideally I don’t think it’s a sustainable way a living despite what people say. It’s not fun. I believe eating is more of a physiological thing for some people, it effects us all differently. Some people can’t eat if they’re stressed or worried, I’m the way, I eat more.

[@darnitthelma4247]

@@jjammy1007 both not good way of eating. I think fasting for so long is disordered. Take a hell of a lot willpower and ignoring hunger pangs etc. I’ve had eating disorder so can see both ways. My hubby is greedy and now developed ED bingeing in secret, craving sugar, huge portions. Brought in my depression. I’ve been the opposite restricting myself for hours. Neither is healthy. You need a balance. Good luck …don’t forget it’s not just about weight it’s about nutrients vitamins clarity mental health looking after our bones, brain, other organs

Thank you, these 'what I eat in a day' videos are very valuable. I recommend finding as many videos like this, from people who are very knowledgeable and have gone through a process of trial and error. Whilst one person's diet may not be right for us individually, once lots of these data points are put together in to a 'big picture' of healthy eating, they can guide us to make great choices for ourselves.

I'm getting really close to the beach body I desire. It's been 39 months since I started. You can do it Listen to the Doc...

Dr Berg, you are one of the very few promoting "healthy diets" that actually look healthy. So many people promoting diets look like death warmed-over. My great grandfather would have people come to him from all over his county and as far as neighboring states to have him "read" their faces. He then would tell them what minerals and other nutrients they were missing by the skin/eye texture and coloration and their ailments would clear up pretty quickly after consuming these minerals. You remind me of him. I've been following your vids for a while and the health radiating through your skin and eyes just continues to get better.

Very validating to see that I "been doing it right" my meals are nearly identical, I do uncured salami over summer sausage. After a few years of near perfect adherence I unfortunately don't seem to lose belly fat on keto. I lost weight to a good healthy level, but no amount of diet and training changes my composition which is more important than the number on the scale. I am going to push the fasting for a few more months since I just started TRT as my levels were extremely low but I may return to some more grains and carb heavy vegetables in the long run if it doesn't get the job done. I miss french bread and potatoes.

I have.a few things to add. 1. I often prepare Buckwheat instead of brown rice, and though I consume only a little of it every day, it has a great taste (can be cooked with a lot of turmeric spice and shiitake mushrooms), and takes half the time to cook compared to brown rice. 2. I make my own chocolate: the proportions are half a cup of chunky Peanut Butter, half a cup of Coconut Oil, and half a cup of pure Cocoa Powder. I add one tea spoon of Honey to give it some sweetness. 3. I prepare a mixture of half a cup coconut oil and virgin Olive oil, and drink a sip at noon and in the evening. 4. when I cook my eggs at 1-2 pm I use mixture of olive oil, coconut oil and sometimes peanut oil. 5. I cook cabbage with Cumin Seeds, a bit of fresh lemon juice and a bit of Apple Cider Vinegar (not too much). And then I steam it for a while, until the liquid has penetrated the cabbage to give it a somewhat sourkrauti taste.5. When I cook beets, I use much water, which turns into beet juice. All you need with beets is to cut them int smaller pieces, add salt and cook for ten minutes. 6. I buy Collard greens, wash them, let them dry a bit, chop them up and put in the freezer in a sealed bag (I use the bags from Rice cakes or from corn tortias). 7. I recently started consuming Dandelion Greens (to help clean my liver) and I found out that Dandelions grow wild in my neighborhood's parks, so I collect them, wash them thoroughly dry them a bit, chop them up and freeze them. I usually prepare some Collard Greens together with the Dandelion Greens. 8. When in season, I fill my freezer with packages of fresh Cranberries, and use them all year around to make cranberry juice at home. Easy Peasy: put a handful of frozen cranberries in a medium size pot filled to the brim with water, add half a soup spoon of honey (for the whole pot), bring to a boil and let boil for another five minutes. It is ready, and it is so concentrated that I can mix it with water before I serve it. all commercial fruit juices have at best 5% of real juice, and even the ones that have it, mix it with Appleand Pear juice concentrate for sweetness and to cut costs. use enough cranberries to cover the water surface completely with one layer. 9. I found out last year that pushups are extremely helpful in strengthening the upper and lower spine - so much so that my neck problems became less pronounced, my spine curvature straightened a bit, and the recovery from a slipped disk a few years ago accelerated. But I had to start very slow, I just turned 70, and I began with one or two pushups every morning, when I do my Feldenkrais routine on the floor, and I then added more and more until, after a few months, I can do four or five rounds of twenty pushups between 2 and 10 pm (=100-120 a day). 10. I realized that thought I was confined to my home most of the time, I needed to walk regularly, so I cleared a path from one end of my bedroom to the end of my living room (I live in a 1 bedroom), and calculated that one roundtrip times 54 would equal 1 Mile. So after I get up, do my floor exercises, and take a shower, I walk about 22 laps in my one bedroom apt., and then I go out to my balcony wearing only my briefs. Throughout the winter my balcony was flooded with sunlight almost every day, and I got used to walking back and forth on the sunlit short stretch of the balcony in my briefs even at 20 Fahrenheit - the very cold air causes a rush of blood to the skin and muscles, which made it possible for me to do more pushups. During the winter I had to limit these balcony sessions to 15 minutes or so, and then re-enter my heated apartment and dress for the day. but the combination of the sunlight, the freezing temperatures, and the stretching exercises and the pushups completely changed my physiognomy, my mood, and my immune response.11. over a year ago while shopping in NY's chinatown I bought a 'mystery' tea, which came in a large plastic bag. At home I fed the Latin name on the label Herba Hedyotis Diffusae into my computer and it brought up a research paper published by Sloan Kettering describing the anti-cancerous properties in Hedyiotis Diffusae and another tea named Scutellaria Barbata. The anti cancer properties of these two herbs were related to bladder and breast cancer in that research. I now start my day with a nice cup of chinese tea that I prepare with both the Hedyiotis and the Scutellaria twigs, white organic tea and green tea. I prepare the tea once a week in a medium sized pot (yes I only have two pots) and add a tea bag of white tea and one of green tea. At my age, with an enlarged prostate, I thought drinking this special tea could not hurt, and it is very tasty at that. 12. Following, to a great degree Dr Berg's advice, I realized that my enlarged prostate (and a 5.6 PSA), and my high but not yet Pre-Diabetic blood sugar levels, have everything to do with my Cortisol levels, the Estrogen Testosterone balance, Insulin resistance, and the state of my liver. Clearly trying to discuss these issues with my family doctor led to nowhere. So I changed my diet to reduce carbohydrates, bring my Cortisol under control, reduce stress, stop eating at night (I now eat two meals - one at 2 pm and a smaller one at 5-6 pm (about 20 hours fasting everyday). I eat more crucipherous vegetables, take my Milk Thistle, Beta Sitosterol, Vit. D3, Flaxeed oil and so much more. Take care all, and a big THANK YOU to dr Berg.

Hey Doc. Thank you for all you're great vids.

Glad to help!

Your list includes summer sausage, which took me by surprise! That looks like the ultimate form of processed meat. Also, thanks for the advice, I will watch out for sugars in my fermented foods, and pretty much everything else. I wonder if Sprouts counts as a Farmers Market. I know that’s on the logo, but I wonder how good they truly are. I’m looking forward to getting involved with Arugula. Thanks!

[@JCX-9]

I had to laugh when you said about munching on the Asparagus. That’s exactly what I did the other day. Just steamed some Asparagus with butter and i got this awesome vegetable seasoning from Costco can recommend it makes the vegetables taste so delicious. I was munching on the raw Asparagus. It’s actually very tasty. I eat the same way. I don’t cook much anymore. I do quick simple meals. I like soups though. I get the chicken soup from Trader Joe’s. I steam some broccoli, mushrooms and add it to the soup to make it more wholesome. Soups are great meal and keeps you lean.

Why does my L-glutamine get depleted? Once or twice a year I feel crappy, like I’m getting the flu, but I take l-glutamine and I immediately feel better. How does it get so depleted on these occasions? I can’t find a diet correlation. Does seem to correlate with physical or emotional stress.

[@meliodas4560]

@@ruthketo3167 your digestive system uses a LOT of glutamine, and is also quite coincidentally sensitive to stress. I'm not a doctor, I'm just a person with an opinion, it could be one of many things causing a deficiency. I'm going to post copy+paste from wikipedia below just for additional info. Also, Dr. Berg has lots of videos on reducing stress. "... but in some instances of stress, the body's demand for glutamine increases, and glutamine must be obtained from the diet. It is encoded by the codons CAA and CAG. In human blood, glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid. The dietary sources of glutamine includes especially the protein-rich foods like beef, chicken, fish, dairy products, eggs, vegetables like beans, beets, cabbage, spinach, carrots, parsley, vegetable juices and also in wheat, papaya, Brussels sprouts, celery, kale and fermented foods like miso. "

@@meliodas4560 I eat all the l-glutamine foods, take probiotics and eat fermented foods. I’m still not sure why it takes that plunge when stressed to the point I actually feel sick. I’m just glad I figured out what the deficiency was. Thank you.

Doctor you're absolutely right, after having a farm and growing all of the fruits and vegetables as well as the organic meat that we lived on. Vegetables like asparagus and fresh greens and arugula we're so good and how I so miss the piece of property that we had. But there are good mixed greens out there you just have to try them until you get the heightened taste. Thank you for sharing your menu

I agree with the salad, grown in good soil. My parents had 2.3 acres of land, 3 gardens, 6 blueberry bushes, strawberries, raspberries, pear, apple and cherry tree. Miss and love my depression era parents. I had a lovely childhood❤.

Everything you eat just makes sense. Lots of veggies, high-quality meats, high-quality oils, and fats. I'm going to try adding in cod liver and some good olives. Already bought nice olive oil and it really does make a difference.

[@Punkologist]

Great video. I discovered your channel about a month ago and started trying IF and Keto, but I have found I have been great at knowing what not to eat, but have really been struggling to know what I should be eating. Thankfully in Australia it is pretty easy to get low or no sugar foods and plenty of naturally sweetened stuff (usually stevia and erythritol). Our meats are generally pretty good quality and its not hard to avoid GMO stuff. I have lost 6kgs in 3 weeks!

I'm a very healthy, active 68 year old woman. I've been using low carb and IF for 2 and a half years. I was surprised to find that you and I have almost the same IF regimen and we eat much the same sorts of foods. Like you, I have to be careful or I'll lose too much weight. I've always wondered if I might have been doing something wrong because of the continued weight loss, so finding out that it is a thing is comforting. The whole of this dietary lifestyle works well for me, so much so that my husband has become more and more willing to make gradual changes for the good of his health as well. Thank you!
