hey dr. Berg here this video we’re going

to talk about the problem with being a

vegetarian now I’m not against

vegetables at all in fact I consume more

vegetables than a vegetarians that I

know but there’s some points I want to

bring up about this because it’s not as

easy to do as you would think number one

most vegetarians are really great at

Aryans when I talk about them they don’t

even have very many vegetables or

consuming all these breads pasta cereal

crackers biscuits they and thinking that

it’s healthy or artificial meats like

these burgers made from soy and things

like that that’s like very very

unhealthy so if you’re becoming a

vegetarian to become healthy then make

sure that you do it with actual

vegetables okay but you might have to

add beans you might have to add wild

rice you might have to add lentils you

might have to add nutritional yeast

there are ways to do it but if you are

an adrenal case or a diabetic what

happens is your body is in a state of a

catabolic state I’m going to explain

what that means it catabolic is a word

to describe that your body is breaking

down its own protein so you have the

opposite word which is anabolic which is

building back up protein like after you

would work out the body would build back

up protein but then you have the

breakdown of protein in your muscle

which is called catabolic so when you’re

in adrenal case or you’re diabetic your

body is breaking down muscle protein

faster than its building back up and so

you get a lot of atrophy especially as

you as you get into your 40s and 50s and

go through menopause so I have people

that become a vegetarian and they’re in

this state their adrenal cases are

diabetic and they crash and burn they

might even lose their hair they might

lose your teeth they don’t feel well

they have blood sugar issues so you have

to have good adrenals to be able to

handle being a vegetarian because the

amount of protein that you might need to

heal the body so it’s it’s difficult

getting protein

that’s the big problem become a

vegetarian so because the amino acids

are not as plentiful in a vegetable

versus a meat or an egg or achieve Seng

that’s something like that okay so

that’s number two

like the purpose of food is really to

get our nutrients whether it’s vitamins

minerals essential fatty acids which

again it’s hard to get with this because

essential fatty acids you can get them

from flax but they have to be converted

into what our body uses but mainly we

get them from fish oil or fish or

grass-fed eggs or grass-fed beef things

like that so it’s it’s possible but it’s

not easy to get okay so the definition

of food is to get our nutrition so

whether we get vitamins minerals

essential fatty acids or amino acids at

the end of the day you have a lot of rot

a variety of foods that you can get

these nutrients from you wouldn’t

necessarily have to get them from one

type of food but that is the goal of

food is to get our nutrients so whether

you are vegetarian getting them from

vegetables or getting them from some

other source this is the goal so this

kind of clears up the confusion of what

diet should I be on well you should be

on a diet that provides all the

nutrients and believe it or not not that

I consume organ meats but organ meats

have the most nutrition of any food on

the planet but I just can’t eat them I

think I was forced to eat liver as a

child so I cannot eat that I don’t need

brains I don’t need kidneys but in the

olden days they did do that and I’m not

against that but I’m just making a point

that those foods have a lot of nutrition

all right so these are the problems

number one consuming non vegetable

sources if you’re in adrenal case you

better have some protein whether it’s

some eggs or cheese or a little bit of

chicken or something because you may get

worse if you don’t and then the other

thing is just make sure if you’re going

to be a vegetarian make sure you get you

know how to do it and you don’t just

wing it

make sure that you study up on it and

get all of your proteins maybe from P

protein or hemp protein whatever okay so

that is my two cents and I will see you
