all right so i wanted to do this video  on what i actually eat on a given day  

now the reason why i’m hesitant to do this video  is simply because um it’s nothing exciting and um  

you know i’m not your average person i can eat  the same thing every single day my wife has to  

have variety i don’t i primarily eat for health  most people don’t eat for health so realize when i  

tell you this this is just what i eat you can eat  whatever you want to eat just make sure it’s keto  

friendly when most people start keto they do need  desserts they need variety to keep it interesting  

so realize this is just a kind of a an example  of what i eat now presently i eat one and a half  

meals a day i’m going to tell you why i would  normally eat one meal a day but if i do that i  

tend to lose a little too much weight and it’s  very difficult for me to consume the amount of  

calories in one meal so i kind of spread it out so  it’s not two full meals it’s like one and a half  

the first meal is between one to two o’clock okay  in the afternoon and the second meal is between  

five and six o’clock p.m so that gives me kind of  a fasting range between 19 hours and 21 hours now  

i also want to differentiate the difference  between keto and healthy keto keto basically  

is just low carbs they’re not focused on the  nutrition okay the nutrients the benefit is from  

the lowering of your carbs healthy keto factors  in the nutrient-dense foods okay and this is why i  

recommend the healthy keto plan with this x factor  called intermittent fasting seems to work great  

on pretty much everyone all right what do i eat in  the first meal i consume a combination of protein  

and fat mostly some vegetables but not too much i  may do four eggs with onions with some fermented  

veggies and so i get these fermented veggies from  the farmer’s market sometimes i get them from  

amazon and make sure that they don’t have sugar  in them i might also do asparagus and i’ll just  

have that raw and i’ll just chew on like  maybe five uh five little stalks of asparagus  

now realize someone took my video out of context  and they said dr berg eats all this food in one  

meal which is not true so when i give you these  examples you’re not supposed to add them up okay  

i don’t eat all of these this is four eggs onions  slash fermented vegetables or hamburger half a  

pound but not both together okay so i just want to  clarify that now i consume a lot of hamburger why  

because hamburger is a lot more fatty than steak  and i never buy the 90 lean i buy the 75 to 80  

so it’s more fatty i’ll consume about half a pound  with sauerkraut so that would be my protein i make  

sure that it’s grass-fed grass-finished and a  bit fatty i do buy a lot of my hamburger from u.s  

wellness meats i don’t get any commission off that  fyi now another option i might consume especially  

if i’m in a rush is summer sausage i found one  that has less than one gram of sugar okay and i  

put the link down below it’s pretty good and it’s  all organic so that’s good it’s very hard to find  

summer sausage without having some dextrose or  other types of sugar in it and i’ll i will consume  

about eight ounces of that okay it’s very fast  i’ll cut it up and sometimes i’ll add cheese to it  

maybe i’ll have some swiss cheese the cheese  is always grass-fed organic and primarily from  

europe it’s not velveeta okay now other times  i’ll have some salmon i’m very very spoiled  

with salmon because sometimes you get this salmon  that’s old or it’s um if you go to a restaurant  

it’s overcooked and it just doesn’t taste that  great so i make my own salmon and i just fry it  

with olive oil put sea salt and pepper and  then i’ll put mayo i like the primal kitchen  

mail because it doesn’t have any sugar and the  oil is avocado oil and that’s what i’ll consume  

and sometimes i’ll add olives to my meal i like  olives so that’s pretty much what i eat now right  

after the meal i might add some pecans because  i might not be satisfied so maybe a handful of  

pecans sometimes i’ll do celery and peanut  butter the peanut butter is organic valencia  

salted i get that from trader joe’s i’ve done  videos on that it’s a pretty good peanut butter  

and sometimes i’ll add a little chocolate  now of course this is sugar-free chocolate  

there’s a lot of different keto friendly chocolate  things out there the one that i like now is just  

with chocolate and stevia i’ll put a link down  below of a few you may not like these because  

when you sweeten chocolate with stevia it gives  you this little aftertaste which i don’t seem to  

mind karen won’t consume it so she does lily’s  chocolate which is a little bit tastier but i  

find that that throws off my digestive system  if i have chocolate with just stevia it doesn’t  

bother my digestive system at all and i’ll  just do like three ounces of that chocolate  

okay so now that’s the simplicity of what i eat  for my first meal second meal all right i will  

primarily start with the veggies okay usually  eight cups of salad sometimes seven sometimes ten  

but it’s this bowl of salad i’ll start eating  that i like to use arugula or a greens mix  

from the farmer’s market simply because sometimes  the salad that you buy at the grocery store is  

just completely empty the ideal situation would  be to have you consume salad from your own garden  

i’m going to do some videos on that that would be  the best thing because you can control how much  

nutrition that’s in that salad i really believe  that people do not like salad because they’ve  

never tasted really good salad grown on really  good soils so i highly recommend you seek out some  

good salad so you can taste what it normally  should taste like okay now i put some sea salt  

on my salad i might add avocado maybe some  nuts but not too many other things i use a  

lot of olive oil but not your regular olive oil  i get my olive oil from italy i’m sure there’s  

other types of olive oil out there but just make  sure it’s fresh because most the olive oil out  

there doesn’t even taste like anything it should  have a very fresh almost like a grass-cut taste  

kind of a little spicy so i just dump a lot  of olive oil on there and i’ll put balsamic  

vinaigrette okay that’s all i use now  i may have a different type of salad  

uh chopped cabbage and carrot okay and i use  a combination of white cabbage and red cabbage  

i have one of those little choppers that  i just put in there and i chop it down  

and if i’m doing that i’m not gonna do eight  cups i’m gonna do like three and a half cups  

because it’s very dense and i’ll put  some mayo on it from primal kitchen  

and i just love that that seems to really  digest well and that would be my vegetable for  

the day now sometimes i might just do a steamed  cauliflower four cups with a lot of butter and  

sea salt and pepper all right do i add any protein  occasionally sometimes i’ll do like a half a can  

of cod liver not cod liver oil but cod liver you  can search it it’s out there it’s pretty awesome  

most of it’s wild caught and it’s not bad tasting  and it’s very high in fat and it has some protein  

in there not too much if you do a whole can of  cod liver you’re going to be very filled up and  

sometimes i do that as well depending on if i’ve  exercised very intensely and i need to eat more  

now i also might add some summer sausage not eight  ounces but maybe four ounces okay it’s really  

quick it gives me a little protein and maybe  i’ll put a little swiss cheese with that i may  

add some pecans i may add celery with that peanut  butter i mentioned um just until i’m satisfied  

okay so that’s pretty much what i eat now what  do i fry the eggs in beef tallow where do i get  

my greens preferably from the farmer’s market  if i can sometimes i can’t go there so i will  

just buy the arugula from the store it has to be  organic of course and when tomatoes are in season  

i will consume a tremendous amount of tomatoes  from the farmer’s market or i will consume them  

from the garden but i will not consume a tomato  unless it’s a good tasting one which means that  

it has a lot of nutrition all right guys so there  you have it that’s what i eat pretty boring but  

it’s workable hey before you go real quick i have  a course entitled how to bulletproof your immune
