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.

[@will_of_europa]

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.

This doctor completely validates what our son has been preaching to us for some time........... plus his honesty is refreshing. Thank you

[@dundeemt]

Hats off to you keto types. Those macros are to much of a PITA for me to track, so I went full carnivore (occasionally I dirty it up with some Keto) The best thing is, I'm not on a diet. It's a lifestyle choice that has brought me lots of personal satisfaction. I lost over 25% of my body weight 60+ lbs. I weigh less now then when I was wrestling in HS. I "feed" once a day. I say that jokingly because I eat as much meat as I want, usually 1.5 lbs or so, I walk (12K+ steps a day), resistance and weight training. If you are still reading this, listen very carefully to what Dr Berry is saying, it will change your life.

[@johnmcconville6055]

I used to get an Aviation Medical every year.Before I discovered keto I was getting the usual lecture at the medical about being slightly overweight,when the door knocked and the docs wife came in with a cup of tea and a large sticky cake.He was still lecturing me about 5 and 2 and started on the giant load of carbs.I just burst out laughing and then he realised what he was doing.He apologised but finished it off anyway.After this I discovered keto and it has been very successful.

[@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.

[@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 💪❤️😉🥩

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.

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!

[@frugalprepper]

Hey Dr. Berry. I had an inverted P Wave or something on my EKG and my Family Doctor sent me to the ER. No chest pain or anything. In fact I felt great. My BP was way to high again, but it does that sometimes. Well I went to the ER they said yep it's an abnormal EKG. They sent me to a cardiologist. He said you need to loose weight. I said I know I have lost 130 lbs in the last 3 years, I used to be 453 lbs., it didn't help my BP at all though. He said do you smoke? I said I quit about 6 months ago, that didn't help my BP either. I also go more exercise, didn't help. I tried stopping salt, till my heart started skipping beats because I was low on sodium. Still had HIGH BP. I told him in need to up my BP meds until I get the rest of the weight off. He asked what I did to loose the weight. I said I eat everything that you would tell me to not eat. I eat MEAT, lots of meat. All colors of meat, and fat. Sometimes I have and entire stick of butter with one meal. I cook in lard and bacon grease. And the weight just started coming off, and all my arthritis went away too. His JAW dropped and he starting talking about cholesterol and putting me on a statin. I am like my Cholesterol is fine, and you're going to LOVE my triglycerides. Well a whole battery of tests later. I was poked, prodded, injected with things that were in lead containers that said radioactive. I was in a lot of different machines and scanners, and they put me on a treadmill and tried to run me till i died. And they did an echo. I had a full round of lab work, etc. I went back to see him. And he said your heart is Normal. There are no blockages, you heart valves are great they close completely, your cholesterol is great, your triglycerides are great. He said I don't know how it's working, but keep doing what you're doing and loose the weight. Oh and the inverted P-Wave seemed to disappear when they were doing the tests, they think my heart was just getting tired from the High BP. They upped my Lisinopril and told me to come back for a follow up in 6 months.

[@mikedahms3600]

One thing I consider important to me is counting some of the benefits have helped me continue on my keto/carnivore. First without my belly I can trim my toe nails without holding my breath(go ahead and laugh if you haven't experienced it). I normally eat one meal a day because I am satisfied with it. 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. There have been bumps in the road to weight loss and recovering from metabolic syndrome(still not completely there).

Well, my doctor really didn't give me any advice about weight loss. I was overweight, especially since my high blood pressure has been weight sensitive since my 20s, but I wore it well in not looking "fat". But I knew I needed to lose weight because of my BP but also to get rid of my severe fatty liver. I lost it with keto and my doctor was delighted about it and since I'm off my BP meds and take none at all now he said I was a pharmaceutical company's worst nightmare. He even said he might try keto since he has other patients who have gotten off their BP meds from keto.

You gave me a guideline basically!!!! I started keto like two weeks ago and not loosing weight whatsoever. Not even water weight! Then I realized that I wasn’t eating enough to lose weight. I ate until full at dinner with clean keto but I didn’t have time to eat properly at lunch or breakfast. I started eat more healthy fat during my lunch now doing my meal prep for my lunch. Just few more eggs and half avocado. It showing progress slowly but sure

We have “judgement” and discernment as a way to preserve our own well-being. I’m going to continue to use my judgement. And I know that I’m being judged, which can be highly motivating. I wonder if our societal problems are somehow connected to judgement-shaming.

[@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.

Doc, don’t stop with the videos. They are helping people. Keep up the good work!

The brutal truth. Thanks, Dr. Berry. Love your dedication to making things right.

I was healthy And fit. I stop pooping like usual and got asma and gained weight. Nutritionist told me that their plan would work I went to 5 of them. I gained 30kg following their plan. Now they don't know what to tell me. Gastroenterologist says they can't do anything more. They don't know what I got. Almost 10 years like this. I'm depressed. Doctors don't listen at all.

[@richardmathews8250]

After being Keto for over a year and having reversed an autoimmune disease including RA and off all drugs, I was in my doctor's office for an overdue lipid check. I'm right in the middle of my weight range and in excellent health. My (obese) doctor, , after seeing my total cholesterol was "high" proceeded to give me dietary advice. I really struggled to keep a straight face and rejected the idea that I should take a statin.

[@verseau8360]

Every time I go into a hospital to visit someone I am shocked to see how overweight most of the staff are! Very disconcerting to see “healthcare workers” looking more unhealthy than the patients!

[@jamiehubbard3211]

I have kidney disease and can't eat a lot of meat. I have to eat carbs for potassium bc I have hypokalemia. Over the last 6 months I have gained 30lbs. I've had ckd for 7 years, following my diet. This gain is new to me.

[@geezlouise99]

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. ?

[@lostnationsouth8086]

We all need to be able to think for ourselves. We need to be our own advocate.

[@StephenieWith3Es]

The best Dr to have is one who has also struggled as you do/have with the same diseases and illnesses, and have had their own personal victories. They are empathetic, down to earth, and actually know what works and what doesn’t! And they’d never tell you to try something that they wouldn’t be willing to try. (Reminds me of that on Greys Anatomy episode where all the interns has to experience all the procedures that they were going to perform on patients!)

[@Sarai_Anna_bornagain]

Doctors are just people. Exactly 💯

[@sherrieherzog2643]

The doctor I went to see suggested diet pills and weight loss surgery. When I suggested that I wanted to try the keto diet and life style change, he said that probably wouldn’t work and that it was to hard to stick to and that I would be better off with the diet pills and consider the surgery 🤔

[@christopherrobin361]

My dad was told this from a past doctor and one that wanted him to keep taking statins, and that losing weight naturally would be "the hard way."

[@gisel1025]

Absolutely i agree! I expect my doctors to walk the walk of what they are preaching (such as weight loss or gut issues)...or else I certainly judge. And I still respect their expertise in other areas as well. Great video...its an important point!

[@tomranc]

That's exactly what my doctor told me. And, his advice didn't work for me either. I believed the lies. I was on 3 blood pressure meds (for "Essential Hypertension"), and a statin drug for about 20 years. And, taking the meds WAS easier than even thinking about why I needed them. Over that time I did begin to study vitamins and supplements, and started taking the best I could find. Toward the end, my blood pressure started going up (I assume because of the vitamins I was taking - your body is self healing and self regulating). My doctor accused me of stopping my meds and wouldn't even talk to me. He happened to be retiring that day. I stopped all medication, and didn't even look for a new primary care physician. What a racket! The day after I stopped the statin drug, I made a list of about 25 side effects that went away. And, that was just the beginning Then, I found you! My new diet has produced wonders that even vitamins can't match! Thank you Dr Berry!

[@rebeccawebb2298]

You are so right, I absolutely don't trust an overweight doctor about maintaining healthy weight, but I would trust her about infectious diseases.

[@rad8825]

"Eat less and move more" is still the best advice, it's foolish to say otherwise. "You will feel hungry" yes you will, you give your body fewer calories so it'll want more. Some diets make those feelings weaker but the craving never goes away completely. "It's not your fault, but it is your problem", my weight is most definitely my fault. Being in denial about that is not healthy in my opinion.

[@mariasantiago7510]

First, THANK YOU for all the information that you provide. I would like to ask you if you could do a video on the use of bone broth vs. stock and how to use this in the Keto way of life. (i.e., benefits, differences and how to utilize it within the lifestyle). I have used chicken and beef stock and broth as a way to help me curb my cravings as I start this journey and would like to know if this is ok. I have been keto adapting for the past 4 weeks and am down now 18 lbs.

[@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 🤣

[@Trudragon88]

Can I squeeze lemon or lime in my water while on keto?

[@poobearsbeautifulgoddess2416]

Yes...but it's better to put the whole fruit slices in the water..when eating fruit.. it's better whole than juiced😉

My doctor is clueless. He is overweight and he just keeps pushing the same statins etc. I’m staying ketovore and holding my ground.

[@BadCarbNoDonut]

Ok, well I'll tell you something even stranger. In discussing my weight problem, my doctor told me "just eat low carb". But she is well over a 100 lbs overweight and I only have about 40 or 50 I need to lose. And, she never loses any weight. Well, I had already ran the whole gamut of diets on my own with no results, so I'm doing carnivore and fasting and it seems to be working.

[@RB-mr6cr]

A couple of years ago, a nurse give me advised on how to change my diet and exercise because I have high cholesterol. I looked at her and I think she is joking, she actually should used her own advice, she is obese about 2 and the half more my size and I am only weight 64 kg

My doctor today recommended the Mediterranean diet!! 🙄 I been doing Keto for 2 1/2 years now. I read the information she gave me and laughed when I was alone. It says to eat healthy fats limit butter, stay away from lard and margarine, eat low fat, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Hmmm

My issue is is I had gastric bypass in 2004 and I have been very successful with it. Until about 5 years ago I religiously was conscious of everything that I would put in my mouth regarding how many carbs it had in it. The thing is after eating low carb and no carb foods all those years I am so burned out on them I can't stand them anymore. So what do I do in this situation because I know I'm not the only person.

Think of your weight loss target like the wheels on a bicycle. if you look at the spokes going from one to the next is a tiny change in the height / angle of the rim from it's axle... but chaining 10 together and the wheel has made a quarter turn. Don't give up. It takes time - but with the help of men like Ken Berry, I have lost about half my bodyweight (or 200 pounds)

[@denisehoward7199]

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. I'm also at best .09 ketosis.
