call now to speak with dr. Berg at eight

six six five six one four two nine two

and now dr. Eric Berg hey guys were back

another Friday at 11 o’clock in the

morning Eastern Standard Time we’re

gonna welcome your questions we have a

live show here and we have Karen that’s

gonna help out with all the million

questions in social media yeah

if you want to call in the number is 866

five six one four two nine two we have a

ton of callers from all around the world

waiting right now so we’re gonna go

right to megan from georgia go ahead

you’re on the line hi good morning i was

calling to ask about my fasting blood

sugar I started keto in the first week

of January so it’s been about five weeks

and my I’ve been diabetic in the past

I’ve had gestational diabetes and so

going into it my fasting blood sugar was

around 120 and I’m a 37 year old and I’m

nursing my daughter too so I haven’t

been able to do intermittent fasting for

extended periods but my fastings gone

down the lowest that I’ve seen is 96 and

ranging around you know a little above

100 so I’m just wondering I read

somewhere that if you’re above 100 then

you’re not really in ketosis and I don’t

know if that is true I’m showing keto

I’m showing ketones on the strips the

urine strips so just wondering if I am

in ketosis and if I’m just not here to

adapt it or if it’s just gonna take a

long time to see those numbers come down

it’s a great question good so let’s just

answer that first of all probably 25

years ago might have been a little

longer maybe it was in the 70s normal

blood Sugar’s were fasting normal blood

Sugar’s were actually a little higher so

there was a group committee who changed

it and made it lower and pretty much

made everyone diabetic so if your blood

sugars are a little bit higher not to

worry about that because I think you

you’re in ketosis if you’re officially

in ketones in your urine you’re in

ketosis and it’s working of course when

you’re you know nursing you don’t want

to go crazy through them in the fasting

I would just stick with three meals and

then no snacks in between that would be

important that would be like a nice

version but let’s just pretend now

you’re doing everything right you’re not

fasting and your blood Sugar’s are not

coming down and they’re just too high

and you want to bring them down there’s

a couple things that I look at and this

also goes for if you’re actually not

losing weight and/or you’re not losing

inches in your plateau it’s kind of like

a little my little troubleshooter number

one reevaluate your carbs make sure that

you know that where they are at because

a lot of times people are oh yeah my

carbs are fine but in reality they’re a

lot higher than they should be if you

have a slow metabolism you want your

car’s below 20 grams and in some cases

if you have a thyroid issue you need to

bring them down even lower if you if

your metabolism is completely shot down

to maybe 10 grams or less so that’s one

thing okay just make sure your carbs are

in check just basically want to make

sure you’re doing everything correct

make sure you’re not doing access

amounts of protein make sure you’re now

doing no protein you know have some it’s

like a moderate amount of protein

make sure your greens are high I also

look to make sure that you’re sleeping

how is your stress level those two

things could keep you out of ketosis for

sure then there’s other things you can

do because let’s say you have a history

of diabetes and it’s chronically a

problem and you have insulin resistance

and you’re trying to bust through this

thing well you might need nutrition

nutrients electrolyte B vitamins

chromium zinc potassium all really

really important vitamin D very

important to improve the insulin

resistance which will bring down the

insulin and help normalize your blood

sugar the other thing is that you could

add an exercise to that okay add more

sleep

to that and then let’s say you’ve done

all these things and still there’s

nothing else changing then I would look

to other body issues like there must be

a weak link here do you have a

underlying digestive issue are you

constipated you have an underlying

inflammatory condition do you have some

type of part of your body that is just

like a weak link that you need to

strengthen then once you fix that I

would then start going more extreme

within a minute fasting so you want to

go maybe you’re going to meals go to one

meal going one meal make sure that you

you know maybe you do you know you

adjust your fats you know so there’s

always things that you can do all right

Megan thanks for your call and we’re

gonna go to Chris from Florida you had a

question about in Amanda fasting and

gastric bypass go ahead yes thank you so

much for taking my call sure hi Karen I

love you guys I listen every week we

learned watching in videos thanks I’ve

been watching your videos and I have to

started keto yet but I am about to have

been planning I’m a planner so I like to

plan ahead I’m 58 years old I had a

gastric bypass about 20 years ago and

I’ve gained some weight back and so

during deficit bypass also they did take

out my gallbladder

so I’m about to start keto and like I

said I’ve been planning watching your

videos so I’ve gotten a purchase out of

your supplement so I have them on hand

so I’m ready to get started so my

question to you is basically I’ll start

with three meals can I use the kale

shake that I have as a supplement as a

meal replacement like can I have it for

breakfast instead of eating oh you mean

the kept the powder kale shake instant

cow shake or just an actual kill sure

know the power have the powder tail

shake the chocolate was good so that

that was the main question right yeah I

want to know if I can use that as a meal

replacement and also about intermittent

fasting I have a question about since I

have had a gastric bypass and I can’t

eat a lot at one meal I’m wondering once

I start imprinted fasting can I eat in

between like say if I eat at 12 and then

I eat it six can I eat in between just

I’m getting in like vegetables and

things that I can’t eat during the meal

God okay good so let me address those

questions okay

yeah the instance kale shake you could

add that as a meal replacement for sure

the only thing that I would add is I

would add a little bit of fat that way

it makes a you know better better meal

because anytime you have low fat protein

you want to add the fat in there I do

have a chocolate meal replacement with

MCT oil which would be fine but when you

do instant kale shake it does need a

little more fat so you might want to add

that and then maybe your greens you know

then you have then you have the protein

the fat and the Greens okay so that

would be totally fine now as far as the

other questions go but the cool thing

about intermittent fasting and gastric

bypass is that the need for the calories

go down because your body is adapting to

that so you no longer the requirements

for even all nutrients even protein go

down because your body is protecting and

it’s recycling a lot of other different

things so you can get by with less

calories and do comfortably just make

sure that it’s it’s kind of a personal

thing you have to adjust to your body to

see how you what you feel and see if it

works for you everyone is kind of

different but there’s some guidelines so

now if you’re doing let’s say two meals

okay can you snack in between ideally

you don’t want to do that you would

rather it be better to add the fat but

let’s say you eating at 12 and 5 and

you’re in the transition phase you’re

phasing into it you’ve got an eating

window that you can stick things in

there because now you’re going too fast

for those 18 hours whatever it is so

yeah add a kale shake add a salad in the

middle there I think that’s a great

transition to get your green so that way

you’re not eating all of it you know at

one meal especially for you thanks

thanks Chris that’s a good question

alright Karen we’re going to you if you

have a you have a quick question over

there thank you don’t say that cuz we

got a lot of questions over here it’s

never quick in social media it just

keeps coming okay it’s the gift that

keeps coming it’s the gift that keeps

giving okay so we have I’m at a toss-up

because we have a lot of questions that

we get

every single week and I think it’s

important to you know to repeat these

things but well first of all I want to

say hello to to Oregon and Chicago

and Alberta and Michigan and California

and a lot of you guys aren’t saying

where you’re from this morning but hello

thank you for being here I’m gonna start

with Katie on Facebook who’s asking how

do you know you’re in ketosis good

question

the the best way is to do keto strips

okay you can check there’s these little

strips you can get on Amazon and you can

check your urine and it’ll tell you how

much ketosis that you’re in that’s one

way is it necessary

no because the other way is just to you

know look at look at your inches loss

off your stomach if you’re losing inches

off your stomach you’re gonna be in

ketosis that’s one of the best

indicators because as you adapt to

ketosis what happens you start burning

up more ketones there’ll be less in the

urine so it gives you false this all

false idea that oh my gosh I don’t have

ketones in my urine yes I’m losing

weight but I’m not in ketosis yes you

are you’re just burning up the ketones

in the beginning now you’ll see more

ketones because you’re just losing more

so yeah so so basically you’re saying

that the keto strips aren’t reliable

throughout this well they’re not a

hundred percent there are good in there

one of the many indicators but it

doesn’t give it the whole picture right

so use judgment look at the whole

picture if you’re losing weight you’re

inches are coming off you’re feeling

great guess what you’re in ketosis yeah

and you know we had we had to talk about

this earlier today or was it last night

and I was saying you know people have to

realize I know people get frustrated a

lot when they’re not dropping pounds and

they think something’s wrong I’m not

losing the weight I’ve been new in

ketosis I’m not losing weight what’s

problem on plateauing but I can attest

to this that the scale doesn’t tell you

if you’re in ketosis or if you’re in the

process of this thing that dr. Burke

explains a toughie gee where your cells

are rebuilding I’m losing size and

building muscle and I’m not

anyway so we were talking about the

analogy like yeah okay you can build a

brand new body in nine months you can

build a house in a couple of months but

what if you have a house that’s been

there for 50 years and you decide you’re

not going to tear it down and rebuild it

you’re actually gonna one-by-one remove

the walls rebuild the internal frame you

know and go at it that way it might take

a little bit longer so you have to look

at all these other indicators how does

my skin look how am i sleeping how is my

shirt fitting how are my pants fitting

in and really lay off the the scale idea

or thinking that just because you’re not

losing a pound you know it’s not working

that’s that’s not you know the only

thing that could maybe not be working is

that you’re not you know following you

know truly to keto and intermittent

fasting that’s a good point because you

have how many cells of the body

Karen owe you 300 trillion 100 trillion

yes 100 trillion so so it’s gonna take

more than a week to get to your ideal

weight you have 100 trillion cells love

that have to be you know improved

rebuilt right and you know also this

other thing I’d like people say oh I’m

healthy I’m only 30 pounds overweight

I’m healthy I’m not on a medication

really you have atrophy of the body loss

of tone you live on planet Earth there’s

some there’s some issues there that need

to be so my definition of health is

completely different than the average

person but but again you know so thank

you for that Karen we’re gonna go right

to someone that’s been holding for 41

minutes now roopinder go ahead you from

California hey thank you for taking my

call sure doctor I have I have a lot of

issue with my digestion from last two

years and finally you know this wondered

I had a lot of a gallbladder stone and

inflamed gallbladder

I decided sorry but my symptoms my

problem is still there and have a lot of

migraine so yeah can I ask you a

question sure do you have a migraine

right now do you have a headache right

now

at this time not not right now Donald I

mean I’m sorry to hear that but here’s

your something here’s something you want

to do you want to get this torture I

mean treatment device it’s a massage

tool okay and you want to take this I

have a technique you would press it

underneath the right rib cage about an

inch down an inch off the midline to the

right and you can watch my videos on

headaches in the gallbladder you press

it into the lower abdomen and then if

you had X alleviate that means it’s

connected to the gallbladder so many

cases where you have migraines and

headaches are triggered by and there’s a

nerve that goes right underneath the

right side it goes all the way up to the

neck up to the head I saw your video and

that time I had a surgery so I I mean I

couldn’t do that because that incision

tears yeah okay so then all that a

formula with help but there’s some other

other points as well as you do intimate

fasting and ketosis the gallbladder

actually you don’t have one I think you

said you had it did you say you had it

removed I had a surgery three weeks ago

okay so now what’s gonna happen is them

you have a little tube from your duct

from your liver that goes into the small

intestine there’s no sac there so I

think what’s going to help you is some

bowel support some extra bile that you

can take addition to your food take one

after a meal that way you’ll have more

bile to get more of a complete digestion

but the fact that you had surgery there

you’re not going to be pressing there

anymore I didn’t know that so you if you

have surgery don’t press where the scar

is don’t press on the gallbladder press

on the opposite side and the pain trysts

okay I have videos on that opposite side

the mirror image side underneath the

left ribcage that will give you a lot of

relief but as you in a minute fasting

and kind of maybe go easy on the fats

initially your headaches should improve

now the other main cause of these

migraines and headaches is a low blood

sugar situation hypoglycemia which so

many people have but it’s hard to detect

it so watch my videos on that and

continue to do this because eventually

that will actually help

all right now we’re gonna go to Karen

okay well I just read something and I

want it I want to address this that

someone is a little disappointed in you

dr. Burton because you rarely answer the

posts in your videos so I just want to

put a little wreath thousand there’s

three thousand videos and no post a day

or three thousand posts a day on over

two thousand videos it’s hard to get to

everyone it is hard to get to everyone

and we definitely do the best we can and

that’s actually the video posts are

inspirations for the videos that dr.

Berg creates so don’t feel neglected

don’t feel like no one’s listening

because moderators are scanning those

posts all the time trying to give people

some help and dr. Burke is making videos

so another point is definitely look in

the Facebook page and YouTube and type

in dr. Berg blank whatever dr. Berg

joint pain dr. Berg migraine whatever

and you will get a ton of videos that

answer your question I am guaranteeing

that the realization that a lot of

people have it is like wow you have a

video and everything yes I do just find

you have to find it though and I’m

working on consolidating that so you can

find it but that’s why when you keep

asking and answering the same question

over and over it’s like Oh search here

right right but you know it is important

a lot of people are learning and so I’m

gonna give you a couple of these

questions okay go ahead so I see a big

question here what is the this is from

Noreen on Facebook and she asked what’s

the difference between keto and paleo

okay good good question

alright so keyed paleo allows more carbs

they allow more carbs they allow some

fruit they allow some dates agave nectar

got a nut chokolate yeah so so Kido is a

lower carbohydrate because the carbs

determine whether you’re burning fat or

not and a lot of times when you’re in

paleo you never get fully into ketosis

because of those little carbs sitting

there now that being said I have a

version of keto that is different than

other

and I recommend a lot more vegetables

it’s a it’s kind of like a healthier

version plus we’re adding another

strategy in there which is a different

way of eating which is in a minute

fasting so what I’ve done is I’ve

combined the best of both worlds and

combined all these strategies together

to have a powerful program that people

get results so that’s why it might be

confusing you know paleo your back ends

and this and that so yeah next question

okay good so somebody on YouTube is

really wanting to know your thoughts on

distilled water yeah distilled water I

don’t recommend it because it’s water

without any minerals at all and it’s

kind of like a refined product it’s not

nature you never find distilled water so

it starts to pull stuff out now a lot of

people take that to detox which is fine

if you’re doing it very temporarily but

the problem with still water it leaches

out not just the bad you know metallic

minerals and stuff but the good minerals

as well so you end up with oh my gosh

mineral deficiency so maybe you take the

distilled water and then you add

electrolytes in after that’s the

possibility but I’m not crazy of

anything other than a short term type of

program where you’re doing distilled

water okay okay good alright so we’re

gonna go to Boston Jody’s been waiting

for 31 minutes and 27 seconds oh my gosh

Jody

hi dr. Burke I first of all thank you so

much for all your videos and your

YouTube account is a gold mine really

your videos have helped me fine-tune my

fasting protocols so much awesome I have

lost 40 pounds

[Applause]

just for you well I still have other 50

pounds to go so yeah we still anyway my

question is about the pancreas as it

relates to type 2 diabetes and I’m sorry

if you’ve already addressed this but I

have come across you theories about a

diabetic pancreas first one being that

betta cells are better cells however you

can answered get killed with years of

high blood sugar and they cannot be

revived like the damage is already done

right so forth and the second is that

the pancreas is just clogged with fat

it’s just about like fat less than one

gram which is in the pancreas and if

that goes away the diabetes is gone like

which one is it in your opinion okay

good okay so the first question yes the

beta cells are control they have

actually produce insulin so they’re the

ones that are controlling all the sugars

in the pancreas so that’s that now

yes years of eating the wrong foods

years of high sugar make those cells

work like crazy and then they eventually

get tired and they burn out and then

they die and that’s it right you’ve

become a diabetic type 1 and you could

also get a type 1 from autoimmune issues

which is we’re not going to get into

that subject right now but you know even

if they’re burnt out and they’re not

fully dead you I find that you can at

least improve them greatly if not

completely restore them in some cases

depending on how far it’s gone so that’s

kind of an opening question I would

always try to improve it and see how far

you can go because the goal is if you’re

a diabetic and you’re taking insulin the

goal is to how do you take is the least

amount possible because if you’re a type

1 diabetic and you’re on insulin and

you’re basically eating the wrong foods

causing the need for more insulin you’re

going to get a lot of problems with your

eyes your kidneys your nerves and your

heart and the arteries so that’s the

goal

so so that’s one okay so yeah you can

actually probably restore a lot of the

function of the beta cell second

question fat clogging up things in the

pancreas in and that well here’s some

data about fat that I want to just

mention

saturated fats if you if you consume

fats with carbohydrates that’s really

bad

this whole viewpoint that people are

saying oh yeah it’s all about the

saturated fats that’s what’s causing the

diabetes that’s what’s causing the

problem I will guarantee in fact I will

bet you anything that these people that

are consuming all that fat are also at

the same time consuming a ton of sugar

and corn sugar and high fructose corn

syrup I will guarantee that they’re not

just having fat because the truth is

that when you consume these fats with a

low carbohydrate diet you don’t create

that same effect you actually can

improve things you actually restore

function so the danger is adding in the

sugar it’s the wild it’s the variable

that messes everything up a lot of the

successes that you see on our site

amazing success on all different levels

these people are doing higher fats but

they’re cutting their carbs down that’s

the best program for a diabetic thanks

Jody

all right Karen okay good well here’s

one from Julie she wants to know how

long if you’re doing the diet correctly

how long does it take to reverse or

repair insulin resistance yeah good

question it’s it depends how long how

chronic it is I’ve seen some people who

have a mild version and they haven’t

abused their life like I have with a lot

of sugar so it’s pretty quick I mean it

changes immediately and everything is

great and they’re the success stories

that you see on social media that oh I

did your program I lost 30 pounds and

I’m back to normal and it took two days

and then like what and then you have

other people who are a little more upset

because they’re not getting the results

of course because they had an underlying

insulin resistant problems for years

previously so that’s going to take

longer so it could range anywhere from a

couple weeks to months to a couple years

but the best measurement for insulin

resistance I believe is your way

okay measuring your waist that waist

coming down your insulin is healing and

you if you go out in society look at

people you can tell who has insulin

resistant problems just by the shape of

where their their body is and if they

have a big gut okay you might find some

people with a big gut especially at at

the carnival

the carnivals I would say okay III had

to withhold that yes okay you can find

there is there’s everywhere actually you

can’t spread the problem is that that

the food that you can find in the center

of the grocery store and and just about

every commercial ever noticed that you

don’t see a commercial for kale

you don’t make one you don’t see a

commercial for radishes and kale and

green peppers you just don’t see it you

see all these commercials for prepared

food and the center of the grocery store

and those are very effective ads and

even the the weight loss plans that are

out there and really televised on

commercials all the time these are

packaged foods

these aren’t living food items and this

does even if it if it allows some weight

loss initially it you know people gain

the weight right back it creates a big

belly you see it everywhere I’m sorry

that’s a Rance have you seen the chest

now that you brought that up Karen I’m

gonna have to get people the first quiz

of the day so I’m gonna ask a question

and then I’m gonna roll that Bell again

okay Rena bring it later but I have to I

have to ask the question okay so here’s

here’s a question guys I want you to

respond on social media get to the

bottom here what food has the most

nutrients of any other food on planet

Earth

okay type in what you think all right

we’ll come back to that answer most

nutrients yeah and you have most

nutrients nutrient-dense all the foods

on the planet what is the number one

food it’s very specific because it’s a

repeater

people who’ve seen you before do this

and you’re gonna find out you’re gonna

okay okay so now we’re gonna go to a

rule from New Jersey go ahead you’re

you’re on the air

hi dr. Berg thanks for taking my call

sure I’m uh I just give you my profile

first I’m a 51 year male working in IT

so I have a certain Terry lifestyle with

a very strong family history of heart

attacks I’m coming from India so our

normal diet consists of a lot of our

carbohydrates rice and wheat and with

vegetables and meat but the

predominantly we take carbs as a main a

main source now recently I had an

angioplasty with three stents and I have

high cholesterol I have got high blood

sugar and blood pressure and I’m taking

medications for all three my total

cholesterol is less than 200 but my LDL

B is more higher than the a and then my

HDL is 25 and my triglyceride is 190 my

a1c is at 6.1 it has come down from 6.8

and because of the medication and the

diet that time last six months I am not

purely vegetarian diet I quit

non-vegetarian

based on my doctor’s recommendation to

go to a plant-based diet and then I have

found my weight has come down by 15

pounds my numbers are looking good but

after seeing your videos though it makes

a lot of sense to me but all these years

I have been raised with a belief that

eating meat and fat is harmful right no

no no butter no fat no no red meat now

it is kind of challenging to myself to

to adapt to this but yeah but more

importantly my question is when you say

high fat do you mean saturated fat or

unsaturated fat is one question and then

when you take a low-carb are you talking

about the simple carbohydrates or the

complex carbohydrate right and fine

leave both I and my wife we take the

same food why I am getting all this

problem and my wife is not getting so

obviously something is different in the

body style and how it functions right

okay so I’m trying to understand the

connection between these two talks thank

you right right question okay so number

one you’re coming from a history of a

lot of carbs right so you know you have

the whole thing meats bad saturated fat

is bad and you need more plant-based

okay yeah you do need plant base but

let’s talk about plant base when you go

into plant base a lot of people they

don’t really go on a plant base they go

in a grain based diet they because think

about even vegetable oils they’re not

vegetable oils their grain seed oils

okay grain seed oil so the point is that

yes you need the plants in large amounts

I’m talking like greens absolutely but

the the problem you’re running into is

trying to get enough protein you need

enough protein on a vegetarian diet you

could do it it’s more difficult

personally I think if you added some

high quality protein whether it’s fish

or grass-fed you know products or eggs I

think that would help you personally

it’s helped a lot of people you don’t

have to do a lot you can just do maybe

three to six ounces per meal the other

thing is when I talk about saturated

fats well or just fats in general you

can do coconut oil you can do ghee okay

you can do that in India then they use

it a lot but just to a high quality of

butter do the grass-fed butter you know

you’re not doing you don’t have to do

bacon grease you know avocados are great

olives are great olive oil you can do

that but one of the challenges that you

at the end of the day is you need to

have all your nutrients and I suggest

probably you if it’s not working for you

your current program get the book see

what you’re missing and add that in

there and test for yourself this is a

perfect example of instead of trying to

believe a certain way of eating your are

doing something that’s not working

exactly like you want it well why don’t

you try this program like I say and

compare the results then you will know

based on your own experience if it’s

gonna work for you or not

I I come confidence going to work but

you never know by listening to people

and listen to me being confused by this

or that so that’s pretty much my

viewpoint and I’m sticking to it

but the boy point but my documentary

point is that you also need to include

the intimate of fasting big-time because

that’s gonna actually bring down your

insulin and really help your heart and a

net note okay that’s the end of the

question go ahead Karen do you ever I do

well first of all I’m just cracking up

over here because as soon as we mention

I mentioned the commercial somebody said

yeah dr. Berg should make or have people

make commercials about kale and then the

best commercial wins a prize so then as

it’s going down going down going down

then people are like what’s the prize

how do I win no no we this is this is

somebody’s idea it’s a fun idea okay but

that doesn’t really exist but okay so

here’s a good question will keto help

Hashimoto’s and adrenal fatigue

well Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune

condition where you have low thyroid and

believe it or not what’s really bad for

the thyroid is doing the high high

carbohydrate diet it’s not healthier

thyroid doesn’t need more carbohydrates

what it needs is a combination of keto

and intimate fasting but also selenium

and iodine that would be very beneficial

now you mentioned adrenals there’s so

many conditions of that involve

autoimmune with adrenal in fact if you

take and this is just based on

observation if you take any of these

autoimmune diseases they usually get

triggered from a stress event hmm

interesting that’s an interesting clue

and then that means that the adrenals

are involved because adrenals help you

adapt to stress so there’s a huge

connection between the adrenals and

autoimmune so the more you can prove the

adrenal the more you’re gonna help my

right so in the book I talk about the a

basic keto in a minute fasting plan but

then you would go

not to the thyroid you go to the adrenal

chapter and start to add more of the

adrenal type recommendations on top of

this basic program I think you can be

successful with that ok all right now

we’re going to Florida with Stefan go

ahead you two question I’m doing two

meals a day and you said in your videos

that protein you know six seven hours

could be 6:58 but seven was the number I

watched the video now what about the fat

Grimes when we do two meals you know the

rule of thumb was 20 to 40 if you do

three that’s question number one and

number two it is uh you know you see in

everything nowadays natural flavors like

Perrier with lemon flavor which has

natural flavors the natural flavors

raise insulin sugar good question okay

so the first question answer the

flavoring question no they’re not gonna

natural flavorings are not going to

increase insulin okay they’re not going

to I know the ingredients of these and

they’re very very low carb okay second

question with the fat on two meals a day

I’m gonna be sending it I’m gonna be I

created i’m creating a calculator a keto

calculator to be able to help you with

that

some people are like okay what are the

calories what are the grams okay and the

other people are like just give me a

ballpark figure I want to go on how my

body responds to that so they’re not

into the calories so but I want to

answer both I mean if you want to know

the grams it’s gonna be between 90 and

100 grams of fat per day okay now the

other thing about that is it’s one of

those things in the beginning you need

more and towards the middle of the

program you need less and then when you

actually start losing too much weight

you might need to add more so it really

goes on your hunger the hunger is the

best indication between the meals of if

you’re doing it is enough fat so that’s

what I’m gonna recommend

okay thank you so much Stephanie now

we’re gonna answer I want to know the

responses on the question what is the

most nutrient-dense food what are some

of the answers okay some of the answers

were kale eggs seaweed

we got raspberries a couple of times

I’ve got avocado someone said milk

actually they said milk milk milk milk

milk milk really yes but we did get a

lot of liver organ meats and things like

that okay so you can I have a drum roll

please okay so this is the answer

actually organ meats specifically beef

liver ya know like what we talked about

listen I’m just talking about what has

the most nutrients so no one could argue

with that just look it up yourself I

mean beef liver has massive amounts of

vitamin A iron bioavailable iron tons of

like other minerals like zinc and

selenium it has vitamin C actually two

vitamin E vitamin k2 coenzyme q10 that’s

like for the heart like it has amazing

amounts of protein essential fatty acids

EPA DHA like it has everything in it now

personally I can’t eat liver I well I

will eat a small amount I don’t like it

but I’m just telling you that it has a

lot of nutrition in a small amount in

your diet like once or twice a week

probably be a good idea there is you can

get a healthy the key is to get want to

get grass-fed grass-finished we found a

great liverwurst yeah right now there’s

going to be two questions that kind of

people are going to ask because of that

I’m gonna answer them before they show

up on social media number one

I thought the liver was the place where

you store all the toxins right so this

is the next question

your mom is watching hi Marge okay hi

sorry uh-huh hi Marge okay say hello to

your mother hello mom how you doing

okay so here’s here’s brings this brings

up the next question okay

and this I kind of already screwed it up

so I’m just gonna have to answer it

because I was going this is the next

true or false question I’ve had is is

the liver the organ that stores toxins

what do you think Karen well I live with

you so I know that’s not true okay good

so some of you’re like wait a second I

thought that liver was a place to

restore toxins no no your fat is where

the toxins are stored the liver is the

organ that neutralizes toxins it changes

the poisons into harmless particles also

the liver is the organ that stores

nutrients can okay so I just screwed

that up but anyway you can get off it’ll

be a cool t-shirt what did you say you

said save the liver same dilemma know

that that’s a good line no there’s

something you said before that I’ll have

to watch the video again you okay go

ahead move along alright so gene is from

Ohio go ahead you had a question yes I

was born with no tires I had all

congenital hypothyroidism and I don’t

like taking prescription drugs I don’t

let those rocks and for a while now and

I grew up with at least the first 20

years of my life with armored thyroid I

can’t afford that get some 40 months

insurance Congress don’t cover it I have

been doing internet fastening for

several months now which is helping I

did take a thyroid t3 with my letter

toxin because I know that the enzyme

level toxin does not convert with the t3

I did read that with the bipolar which I

don’t wear like say I have but if I boy

you need t3 also what can I use to help

with my thyroid okay good so the the two

minerals that are really important in

the thyroid

our iodine and selenium okay those are

the two that are really important

there’s other ones as well

so if you were to get a plant-based

trace mineral product that would be

really really really really good and or

like or seek out a high quality sea kelp

I think that will give you all the trace

minerals that you need that being said

you’re on in a minute fasting which is

very very smart and really good to do

especially for people with bipolar and

any type of mental illness because it

improves your mood okay it’s natural and

because when you take psychiatric

medication for mental disorders in

bipolar what happens is the side effect

that creates insulin resistance so

you’re gain weight so the other thing

and not not to mention other things but

the other thing you want to do is look

at the quality of food that you’re

eating in an intimate of fasting make

sure it’s really really high quality

don’t neglect the cruciferous vegetables

despite what they say about the thyroid

because then you’re taking iodine you’re

going to be totally fine and one last

thing if you’re doing it fast and guess

what you’re gonna save a lot of money

you can save up to I don’t know five six

hundred dollars a month if you’re doing

one meal a day so that way you can take

the extra money and buy your armor which

is a better medication or are actually

hormones for the thigh right thanks gene

all right Karen okay good so I’m gonna

combine a bunch of questions together

again I’m going to remind everybody

who’s listening that and watching that

probably 96% of the questions that come

up during this live show already have

videos on them if you go to youtube type

in dr. Berg and then you’re subject

you’re gonna see answers to it right

there so don’t feel like elected if we

can’t get to you but here’s my mom have

any questions Marge Marge we’ll find out

do you have a question you have to type

me okay

okay good so a couple of combined

questions here who is the keto diet not

for like if you consider pregnant women

nursing women children seniors people

with sicknesses people with missing

organs people with diseases who

shouldn’t do the keto diet okay

so if we’re just talking about Kido and

I’m not talking about other Kido other

Kido programs where they’re doing maybe

lower quality fats or oils you know that

I’m not talking about that you’re not

talking about the version of Kido it’s

called healthy Kido that I’m

recommending a shion’s as far as people

doing it it’s good for every single

person why is because it’s a healthy

it’s kind of what our bodies need

nutrient wise it’s actually it’s low

carb moderate protein lots of vegetables

healthy fats I mean that’s the perfect

eating plan now the next thing that

people are going to want to know is what

about intermittent fasting oh okay and

then how long do you do it for the rest

of your life I mean why would you want

to go back to the normal diet which is

high carb right that’s there’s no

purpose right so in a minute fasting

okay is there any anyone that’s it’s not

good for well okay so you know it’s

actually good for everyone there’s some

there’s some adjustments you’re gonna

have to make like let’s say you’re a

nursing mother so you’re not gonna do

one meal today maybe do three meals

today no snacking so you do a mild

version of it now the other point that

comes up is people have history of

eating disorders okay anorexic bulimic

they shouldn’t do it but here’s the

interesting thing shouldn’t you what in

a been fasting okay now I I disagree

because I think if you do in a minute

fasting and you’re doing it healthy with

all enough calories what’s gonna happen

is your overall mood is going to

straight up and vertical right because

what happens is it helps your mental

state because you’re running on a

different fuel when your mood is higher

you’re much more aware of things you’re

much more in the present you can make

better decisions you’re feeling better

now by our thoughts so our followers are

so cool yeah they’re so nice I mean you

have a blood sugar problem you become

irritable you do things that you you

know are you regret you say things you

you know so I think really the enhancing

your mood it brings your state of

beingness it’s going to be really good

and that’s just my viewpoint

okay good so I have another question

okay go ahead here’s a one that I don’t

think we’ve ever had before

can Quito help or what would help with

night terrors or sleepwalking okay so if

you’re having night terror

what that is it’s a very severe b1

deficiency you need a lot of nutritional

yeast especially if you’re let’s say you

go in Quito and you’re adapting into fat

burning and you have like vivid dreams

nightmares whatever what’s gonna happen

is you’re like that’s you need more B’s

so anytime you’re converting to this new

metabolism which is ketosis the B

vitamins are much more involved so you

need nutritional yeast for sure okay

good

next question and this is my last night

okay I’m taking advantage okay

can you use the kale shake powder

instead of vegetables no you can’t you

can’t because it’s it’s an enhancement

it has some kale in there but it’s not

going to give you enough but that being

said the wheatgrass juice powder does

give a lot of concentrated nutrition so

I would I would say maybe if you’re

gonna do that maybe you need a little

less but you’re still gonna need

vegetables and the powder you can put in

your kale shake to make your kale shake

more palatable if you really don’t like

it or you haven’t gotten used to it or

whatever you’re gonna pee oh that’s good

it’ll taste great yeah I mean I’ll have

people like they don’t like vegetables

okay why well cuz it’s a lot of chewing

okay we’ll just get it predigested you

know I mean I’m sure you could buy it

somewhere he’s often you know he’s a

good guy he’s offered to chew my kale

yeah I’ll chew it for you yeah you know

like like spur you’re a good husband

okay next thing this is where we go to

the phones yes okay so Mitchell you’re

from Indiana go ahead

thank you dr. Berg longtime video watch

her first on caller oh great um I’ve

been doing uh car keto for about five

weeks now I do intermittent fasting a

ratio of 18 to 6 take my ACV I drink my

lemon juice and I do cardio about three

to five times a week and I said I’ve

I’ve been in

the diet for about five weeks now and

just this week I’ve been starting to get

not debilitating but persistent lower

back pain sometimes on my right side

today it’s on my left side I’m just

wondering if that’s a kidney issue or if

there’s anything else I can do to sort

help eliminate that question do you get

any pain in your big toe no not at all

okay have you ever had a kidney stone

never okay so here’s the thing that I

would I would I would do first because I

have videos on low back you could go to

my YouTube and then start applying the

techniques I showed you can use this

press on the inside

take care of it but there is one little

factor of certain people that are prone

to kidney stones could start having a

problem with that so here’s the thing

that you would want to do to make sure

it’s not that it’s not actually believe

it or not it’s not like a kidney calcium

oxalate stone it’s more of a uric acid

stone so it could mean that your urine

is a little bit too acid because you’re

in some hardcore ketosis so what you

want to do as an experiment is alkalize

the body a little bit and see if that

problem pain goes away there’s a couple

ways to do it

of course the first way is make sure

you’re doing a massive count amounts of

vegetables okay the other is taking the

electrolyte powder that I have because

it has a lot of potassium citrate a

thousand and do like three of those in a

day and your pain should go down because

it’s very alkalizing you’re taking all

the alkalizing minerals if you don’t

have it right away you can just go to

the store and get a calcium magnesium

and take take that on an empty stomach

through the day and see if the pain goes

away then we know it’s more of an

acidifying effect and this happens in

the transition but not when you’re fully

adapted but in the transition of getting

in the keto so but you’re all you’re

already doing the correct thing but

you’re taking lemon juice maybe take a

little bit more outside of vinegar which

is acidic so you want to actually add

more lemon to that maybe you like even

two ounces the day and drink a little

bit more water okay and just to kind of

make sure and if that pain goes away

then we know it’s kidding

because you want to isolate it alright

thanks Mitchell people are saying hi to

your mom I love that hey could everybody

just type in hi Marge and give Marge

some love she’s awesome mom oh hey yeah

you have a question yeah I do and it’s

one that’s near and dear to me the

question came in does food have anything

to do with hyperactive kids and so my

first two cents on that is is really

considering what’s hyper what’s

unusually active versus what’s just a

normal active kid but past that what’s

your what’s your feedback to that

question does food have anything to do

with a kid who may be overly well

excitable it’s good to have these quiet

kids in the corner or they sit there

when you’re spoken to

yeah right so um we want my gosh we were

both those kids right oh yeah I was I

would like that here’s the thing about

that I mean you you would be literally

shocked if you started these kids on a

low-carb healthy type program I mean

their mood their irritability I mean how

many kid I mean these kids are

hyperactive because they are low and B

vitamins low blood sugar they have no

potassium they don’t evil’s it’s gonna

turn him into a a wind-up you know

hyperactive attention deficit kid so oh

my gosh

it’s I’m gonna write a book for these

for the mood issues and irritable kids

because it’s so easy to fix and what you

need to do is go to the YouTube channel

that I’m have and type in these recipes

because if you have these great keto

bomb cookies around for the kids they

won’t know the difference if it’s sugar

or not sugar and you start having that

oh my gosh these kids would be so

healthy alright so we’re gonna go to

Kara from Pennsylvania and you had a

question

Pennsylvania yay hi I have a question I

was thinking her over the summer

actually I had a partial hysterectomy

gall bladder chronic pancreatitis h

pylori

I had a rough summer I started taking

your gallbladder format and changing my

my diet obviously so the keto and 16 my

low stomach acid I’ve been feeling way

better the last four days I was getting

like hot chills cold chills for like

four days I didn’t think anything of it

and then I go to bed a couple of nights

ago

and I like had like flu-like symptoms so

I was wondering if you think this could

be you know the keto flu or speaks me

something out because I was thrown up

you know I just felt like I had to lube

and yeah and you how long you been doing

this for I have been on the keto diet

for almost four months with one meal for

the last two months

okay yeah I think there’s something

going on with that the fact that you

don’t have a gallbladder kind of adds a

little complexity thing so I would add

in acupressure to left and right side

underneath your rib cage for sure I

would do the electrolytes and then the B

vitamins so that that way we can

actually make this transition better but

I think it could be a combination of

something not draining properly through

the the liver and gallbladder or it

could be just a missing element as

you’re transitioning to this so I would

go back to the basics and maybe make

some adjustments to the amount of fat

that you’re consuming since you know the

gallbladder may be ease off like it’ll

it’ll bring the stress down from the

liver because now you don’t have the

gallbladder so your if you add a lot of

fat it’ll stimulus try to stimulate it

and it could create a little bit of a

backup so that’s what I would do all

right thanks Karen

all right Karen okay good so that you

guys are awesome there’s like 1,000

hellos to your mom

oh that’s correct I know it’s really

great now let me give you her cell phone

oh now there’s some cell phone that

would be great yeah time on her hands

yeah I’m not going to give that down but

she’s an awesome lady okay great so also

I wanted to give a shout out sometimes

the notes are flying so high

here on social media I haven’t been on

top of this but hello to Canada Chile

Indonesia we have Cambodia watching

today Sweden

idiot if you know India India Italy

that’s the combo of that’s and you just

combined it

that’s penetrate Indian Italy and and

there’s more Australia all over the

United States ever it’s it’s amazing but

I did have a question yeah go ahead okay

good oh and also I wanted to mention

that I’m sure you have another

interesting tidbit to reveal only at the

end but also we are gonna do a little

something different about 15 minutes

after this show we’ve had some questions

we had some questions about how we met I

know and I’ve been resisting this but I

saved finally if you guys want to know

the story does anyone want to know does

anybody care really does anybody care

how we met yeah but if you want to know

wait England Wales Germany Ireland

you’re on three different questions so

far I know pew on tractors okay focus on

the bunny right focus on the bunny does

anybody really want to know how we met

he thinks people care well people are

asking so I’m like okay we’re gonna

about 15 to 30 minutes after this show

we’re gonna close down at the end of the

hour and then we’ll come back up 15 30

minutes probably more 15 and then we’ll

we’ll tell you it’s gonna be a live

little thing we’ll do a tell a little

story yeah okay okay so stay tuned for

that and then I’m just saying

Liverpool that the whole world is

watching so my question I lost track

okay so I’ll bring gave me some other

pieces of paper and we we are releasing

a little thing you can click down below

we have a pleasure food document so if

you want some help with different ideas

with pleasure foods to make this go

right click down below and you can get

more information as a download and

that’ll be really cool so that’s kind of

our giveaway for this time and also any

thing that I say in this show it’s not

meant to diagnose you or give you all

like any type of medical advice it’s

just for your entertainment okay it’s

for your something the research I’m not

I’m not trying to diagnose you over the

phone check with your doctor before

taking any my recommendations all right

thank you so now we’re gonna go to

Deborah from Jacksonville Florida you’re

on the loan thank you dr. Burke and

Karen it was nice to watch all your

videos and learn a lot

I started intermittent fasting the first

of the year because I started

researching my mother has Alzheimer’s

and it runs in our family and I have

severe IBS and once I started keto and

got about two weeks into it my IBS is

totally gone Wow I’m so thrilled my

question is my fasting window it’s

gotten down to six hours now I mean six

hours of eating and as it gets shorter

if I go to one meal a day how do I

calculate my calories because you lose

your appetite and to be able to eat that

much at one sitting is that wise to go

to one meal a day and if I do how do I

dress my calories I knew you’re gonna

ask that difference so I just released a

video on the calorie confusion people

have when doing keto and fasting because

here you have this pie chart right you

have this pie chart with five percent

car twenty percent protein instead of

other percent fat right now what happens

when you go to intermittent fasting when

you go to two meals in one meal do we

still do the same 1,800 calories or 1500

calories or 2,000 calories well that’s

gonna be a big meal especially if you’re

not hungry for example yesterday I did

one meal a day and I’m like I can keep

going I’m not even hungry it’s almost

like I had to force myself to eat so

it’s difficult to eat that much because

the meal that I’m in my body is eating

is my own fat so I’m gonna create a

calendar to help you figure this out

because it’s it’s a long answer it’s a

little confusing and that’s why a lot of

people haven’t

really talked about it yet and I if you

watch this video I just want to

apologize in advance for confusing you

because it is a confusing subject but

just realize there’s two things I’m

creating a calculator to make it really

easy so you punch in your food and I’ll

kind of tell you where you’re at and

give you guidelines and if you go to my

site under the recipes you will see a

lot of those recipes especially the

meals are all based on the percentages

of what you need so you don’t have to

actually even worry about it just look

at the meals like oh I can do that

but as you eat less frequent the need

for nutrients goes down so you want to

keep if you’re doing one meal a day so

let’s say you do seven cups of

vegetables okay and your salad and you

do maybe I don’t know eight eight maybe

nine ounces of protein and then the rest

fat and realize you might maybe you

don’t need as much fat because your body

is burning your own fat so that’s kind

of something you just have to play

around with until you feel comfortable

with eating because if you stuff in

there 75% of those calories with fat and

you’re like oh my gosh I’m bloated for

the next two days that’s not gonna be

good all right Thank You Debra for that

question alright so now I have another

question that I want to ask Karen a

question I know I know so this is the

true or false question okay okay

true or false guys yeah okay all right

okay Greek yogurt has more protein than

plain low-fat yogurt well that’s not

fair because they all have Google oh

yeah you’re not supposed to look at

there okay so no googling if you answer

it just like okay so go ahead and answer

it okay and then I’m gonna answer oh I

need to I have someone on hold for 27

minutes so Cynthia is from Los Angeles

so go ahead Cynthia hi guys hi I mean I

know Annie so a quick question um

so everything Washington ever since but

after doing Kido

and intermittent fasting for about four

months I started turning on allergies

like crazy so I’ve never been allergic

to anything in my life and now I’m

allergic to like egg whites and olive

oil and I’m having reaction bad

reactions so I was just wondering can

and you know or intermittent fasting

kind of triggers allergy okay so the

question I have

what is the when you say allergy what is

the reaction that’s happening on your

body is it loading is it a skin

sensitivity is it a rash like again

already its skin mainly on my face and I

it just gets puffy in red and cookies

okay radiated so Cynthia that that’s not

an allergy that’s called Kido flu

I mean I’m Kido rash and what that is is

that Aaron yeah so as you’re burning fat

guess where all the toxins are stored

they’re coming out to the fat and

they’re gonna come out sometimes you to

the skin so there’s a couple ways you

can minimize that number one make sure

you’re doing opposite of vinegar with

the meal okay number two you want to

make sure that you’re doing a large

quantities of vegetable okay I’m talking

like seven to ten per day that’s gonna

actually keep the liver cleaned out and

then the last thing is the B vitamins

you need good amounts of nutritional

yeast that should make that go away this

rationing is a temporary thing

it’s it’s not an allergy okay

Thank You Cynthia and so guys we’re

gonna end off and also if you wanted to

hear this story because people have been

asking how do we met it’s kind of a

funny little story we’re gonna come back

in about 15 or 20 minutes and share that

with you thank you so much for your

attention and your questions and they

were great and thanks Karen

and we’ll see you guys next week or in

15 minutes Oh Greek yogurt yeah yeah I

almost forgot

okay so yeah that’s the answer that one

is basically like Greek yogurt does have

more protein than plain low-fat yogurt

thank you okay goodbye

see you guys
