Bread is the Cause of All Your Problems? Dr. Eric Berg Debunked | What the Fitness | Biolayne 

12.99 a month for reps lol. what a joke.

I’m a professional chef. We don’t serve you bread so you eat more. We serve you bread so you don’t notice how much time is gone by because when people come in and they’re already hungry make time to get pissed off waiting for their food. It’s not rocket science, It’s just bread.

I whole heartedly believed this guy when my anxiety got out of control. You sir have tied a string to my foot and pulled me back down to reality. I appreciate all of you videos!

"Dosage makes the poison" Such a simple yet powerful phrase.

I have to say I did follow Dr Berg with his keto advice and lost 15 kg in 3 months. I was very strict with myself and it worked. I was also tracking my calories, eating at my BMR. Because it worked I thought keto was the one and only. But then after a while, I became a bit adventurous, thinking "well, let's try the other diets, even if I bounce back, i could just stop and get back to keto and so on." So, I switched to higher carb and protein intake (coz I started working out too) and I didn't gain any of my weight back. I think what keto did for me is it helped me avoid all the processed food and stuff… which in terms helped me control my calorie intake. I avoided instant noodle, bubble tea, sugar-loaded foods and so on. So I've come to the conclusion that to lose weight you just need to eat healthy and watch your calories.

He moved so easily from bread to fentanyl. I am surprised he didn’t talk about the linkages between bread and COVID-19.

Really appreciate the calmer, more detailed style of this video compared to other “what the fitness” videos. I feel like I learned a lot more. Please keep this up!

My marriage was stimulating endorphins and altering my chemistry, so I put an end to that real quick. Thanks Doc! :)

I've got 99 problems, but bread ain't one.

While most people who listen to this doctor will roll their eyes, there are plenty of people who are going OMG yes this is so true. It’s playing right into their confirmation bias. It’s truly frightening.

I haven't watched a Dr. Berg video in quite a while, and never will again.

So there I was, chowing down on bread like it was going out of style, right? I mean, I couldn't get enough of the stuff. But let me tell you, it was wreaking havoc on me. I was constantly feeling sluggish, my mind was foggy, and it felt like I was glued to the ground. Then, one day, it hit me like a ton of bricks: the bread was the problem. So I made a bold decision - I cut it out of my life completely. And you won't believe what happened next. It was like a fog lifted from my brain, and suddenly, I could see things with crystal clarity. I'm talking about my third eye opening wide, my friend. Now, I'm on a whole new journey. I'm honing my newfound abilities, tapping into this cosmic energy that's been dormant inside me all along. Who knows? Maybe one day soon, I'll be soaring through the sky, leaving bread crumbs in my wake as a reminder of how far I've come.

I got dizzy, constipated and hemorrhoid when I followed dr eric berg's strict keto diet routine (no high carb meals like rice, bread, pasta and sweets; drinking just enough water when thirsty). My stool started to get soft when I ate a few bread again.

I have hypothyroidism caused by Hashimoto's disease. I think it's a good idea to avoid gluten in my diet, because it can help alleviate some symptoms of Hashimoto’s. The research is mixed, but since I'm also trying to lose weight, I don't think avoiding gluten is a bad idea for me. Bread spikes my insulin levels, and I feel hungrier throughout that day when I eat it.

Finally the solution to fix my computer problems: stop eating bread. Who would have thought that. Thank you!

Thank you for keeping this old granny from falling for some of this stuff. I do have to eat less carbs or my blood sugar will skyrocket but it doesn't mean carbs are poison. I am hoping when I get back to a normal weight, I can have more carbs, not because I am "addicted" but because they are delicious.

Huge respect for being able to communicate some of these points in such a composed manner in this. Those claims around ND really got to me and I FELT that frustration - with all of the ideas around psychological difficulties, to be honest... Absolutely disgusting when people try to make such claims. I am so sick and tired of people skewing information about psychological conditions in addition to everything else.

Cutting out gluten made me feel so much better physically, less cravings etc. But that is for me, would never say this is also the case for every single person on this planet

I used to follow this idiot back in the day when I started in my weight loss program. He really made me worry about everything that enters my body, on the other hand you made my life much easier and enjoyable. Thanks a lot man.

Never was the term "stay in your lane" more true as it is with Dr. Berg.

Asking Dr. Berg about nutrition is akin to asking your barber to remove your kidney.

Layne I love your content and like to think of myself as a student of fitness and diet. Keep up the great work!

I used to believe this clown (Eric Berg) and was miserable on keto, but was convinced it was the only way to get lean. Then I found you, Layne. Thank you for everything!

Your “What the Fitness” episodes are just so amazing. I never know whether to laugh or cry - but I basically laugh. Thank you so much for these refreshing and accurate exposures of these hucksters.

FWIW, Layne, you're not the only one who found this offensive. I'm profoundly ADHD. I'm more than a little offended at the implication that it's my parents' fault.

Once again the voice of reason prevails. I'm so grateful for people like you who are out there pointing out the ridiculous keto dogma culture and waking up those who have been drawn in. I recently tore up a book by Leslyn Keith for the same exact reason in her book about keto and the lymphatic system. I don't need to be a scientific genius to spot BS and dietary propaganda.

Hello Layne, as a pizzaiolo aficionado, fermentation either through wild yeast, or commercial yeast (saccharomyces cerevisiae), does not reduce the amount of protein in the dough like Dr. Berg said. But rather breaks down the carbs into more simple blocks. Making it easier to digest. And producing co2 after eating those carbs, and inflating the dough more. In fact, we need high proteins flours, to have more gluten, for more dough elasticity and more puff.

A Keto diet helped me shift my relationship to food - I was eating too much bread and not enough other beneficial foods. I did lose a lot of weight. But I gained all that back when I went off of it, and life long keto isn't sustainable - at least not for me. I'm on track to a more sustainable change of diet that involves long-term lifestyle change that allows me to also eat yummy foods in more moderation and without undermining my entire weight loss program. But I'm glad I found this channel, because I'm sick of the weird culty insanity in the fitness world that demands all-or-nothing dedication to a very restrictive lifestyle - often even more restrictive than most cults out there - to "lose weight" or "be fit" or whatever... I'm done with the garbage! Thanks for this site!

I stopped eating bread for 30 days and the inflammation pain in my gut disappeared.

While I agree with Dr. LE Norton in many empirical aspects, as a biomedical scientist I would not fully rely on scientific research, which is generally biased and typically difficult to extrapolate outside of the experimental setting (even the most "rigorous" meta-analyses). In addition, I would not disregard the observations obtained from a clinical setting, which are very often overlooked in scientific literature. We have to understand that Dr. EA Berg (I think he does not hold a PhD though) is heavily oriented to the clinical setting, while Dr. LE Norton is heavily oriented to the experimental setting. Both have their perspectives, which are useful, and also conflicts of interests (as almost any health professional). But I do not believe one invalidates the other. They should seek complementarity instead. The truth is that processed food consumption and carbohydrate overeating have contributed greatly to the increased prevalence of metabolic disease, including gastrointestinal disorders, fatty liver, attention deficits and addictions. On the other hand, dose and frequency make the poison. We have scientific literature that supports almost any claim you can think of, but I believe one, as a trained PhD, should be skeptical with oneself too, and consider what clinicians have to say and why they use the approach they do. The clinical setting is EXTREMELY different from the experimental setting, although they can help each other, instead of throwing fire at each other. I believe these two have quite different goals and that's where the clash comes in. In summary: Eric Berg: mass speaker -> big audience -> most people are metabolically unhealthy who eat tons of bread everyday -> message has to be "bread is killing you". Goal: reduce or even eliminate bread consumption. This will presumably improve health, and I can agree on this line. Layne Norton: specialist speaker -> much lower audience -> probably a very heterogeneous audience -> message has to be "bread has good and bad things". Goal: stay neutral about bread. This will just provide a counterbalance to a very skewed message, and I can also agree on this line.

You, Sir, demonstrated some composure right there. Well done.

Thank you so much for speaking about his statements on Autism... those kinds of claims make me sooooooo angry and I wish it was talked about more. Thank you for all you do!

I love Friday’s. I like your work and thank you very much for all the information you put out.

I'm eating dozen of bread per day and I'm struggling to gain weight so I'm unconvinced by claims that bread makes you fat

Wowzers. The fact you have 250K subscribers, and Berg has millions is concerning. Keep fighting the good fight Layne.

As a women of 67 who used to train for many years. I loved your content. Thank you for your video.

It is such a relief that I can watch your analysis of these “diet zealots” rather than having to watch them myself. I don’t have to scream at the television anymore ! Love your science based videos! Thank you!

Hey thanks for filtering out bs! Im currently on low carb diet. Mostly bc I can eat and maintain my weight with out thinking about calories. Bc it works for me. And since I consider myself low carb! Mostly keto but I’ve found with being keto and following your flexible diet I can live a more normal life and if I eat out/have people over and not be the weird guy with diet restrictions. I just learned how much calories are in things and just account for it on the days I find necessary. So for me I’m low carb/flexible diet lol thanks again I found you after doing low carb for year and a half and I think flexible diet has help me maintain when I bounce in and out of keto.

Thank you sir, so much for this video! I have a masters in molecular biology, published in scientific journals, and worked in the scientific and medical industry for 15 years. I now own my own medical writing consulting company. I’ve been a fitness fanatic my entire life and have run several marathons. So eating well and studying the link between medicine and health has been part of my lifestyle, passion and studies. I’ve been reading the “studies” that RU-vid docs like Dr. Berg and Carnivore MD and have called them out on all their BS. Your video is the first legitimate one I’ve seen that calls them out on their BS. Thank you for providing watchers with truth!! It’s offensive and dangerous for these health “professionals” to feed ppl with this misinformation just to boost views and sales of their products!!! Keep up the good work!!

Norton what do you eat what is your food consumption protocol?

Well done. I also like it when you blow your top with these wtfs, but you knock this down very well!

Berg should be a recurring guest. Or even having a special day for him

the only thing i concern in bread ingredients is yeast if over consume it, one of the side effect from yeast is inflammation

The best analysis. Good job doc.! Love it.

Seriously the more I watch ur video countering those 'health gurus', the more I am addicted to watch your videos.. Keep it up mate!

Can’t believe I fell for “Dr” Berg’s crap not that long ago.

Thank you for bringing the truth to all these doctors who make big $$$$$$ off RU-vid from brining fear about food and causing so much anxiety and confusion!

Layne can you explain what is good about eating bread. What nutrition you get from it and what benefits it has? I don’t know of any.

I am so glad I heard about your Channel from Magnus Method. I was listening to this doctor I was confused I felt like he was going in circles . So thank you

Well as i went ketogenic i got to know how this intolerance towards gluten must feel like. I could start eating any carbs without problems. Bananas, Apples, Sugar, Oatmeal etc. But bread.... NO. Especially at that time as i was on a ketogenic diet eating wheat products ( especially those which were quite raw and heated less than other ) it did not feel good. Not at all. Just started to fell lousy about 15 minutes after eating. Bad mood, weird thoughts, difficulty concentrating, pictures not leaving my head, inner ( mental ) pain, feeling down, depressed. I had it several times and only with wheat- laden products. Again and again and again. But not being on keto it actually went away, or at least got much better. So why especially on that keto- phase? I think because the high amounts of fat irritated my digestive tract. That is something i noticed after being keto for a long time. And an already inflamed gut does not seem to handle wheat products well. At least not for me.

This is great timing. Yesterday I went to a health-food store whose owner is a N. D. (Naturopathic Doctor). Told him I had a few aches and pains... "stop eating bread 🥖 and stop drinking milk 🥛" he said. Holy God are these two substances ever demonized!!!

Layne is it true starch only contains 1 calorie per gram as opposed to the 4 calories per gram for other carbohydrates?

@biolayne no reasearch for leaky gut, Is that still true? The zonulin is not a thing? If somebody is not able to digest gluten well (low stomac acid, or other digestion issues) and gluten reaches the small intestine, can not trigger an immune reaction for some? Can gluten be a problem or not in your opinon? you are giving conflicting comments. "Dosage makes the poison" isn't true for gluten? Is it false to think that sourdough bread can help for some? Thanks

Ah yes. Our favorite Scientologist, Chiropractor, Nutritionist and Keto Zealot Berg.

I spent a few years down the Eric berg and team rabbit hole (team being others like Jason Fung, Ken Berry, Thomas Delauer etc) ..... years wasted. I have been looking for a channel like yours as I always had a doubt that these extremes are not the way. Why are they so popular?!?!?! I guess most of us look for the path of least resistance... whatever that may be. Thank you for your content!!

Amazed you stayed as calm as you did.

Thank you layne, what you are doing is priceless. 🙏🏼 Take care

I’m not low carb but I’m genuinely sensitive to bread. I do get puffy, have digestion issues, and too much can start to have an impact on my mental health. But, anything that makes you feel like crap can do that I suppose.

As a physician, I am amused by chiropractors who think they are gastroenterologists. Berg is as clown.

Thanks Layne for how you have been cleaning up the language in the videos a bit lately. Especially in this one where you wanted to give Dr. Berg the what for 🤣. Really appreciate you and the information you provide!

Respects for keeping your composure

For me bread is like alcohol, I can’t just have one. So I’m stuck with meat, veggies and diet sodas unfortunately.

Respect Layne for this objective breakdown . I really hope that people will know the truth that Eric Berg is a fraud who has a smooth-tongued, convincing people from his speech but in reality, the man doesn't know what he is talking and his team are willing to delete any harassed comment about the fact that he is not a real MD . His entire brand sale are as scammed as V Shred .

He said he linked the studies regarding the mental effects, what was your opinion on those?

I love the way you explain things. It does get confusing out there! I have been super sick for a few years due to reccurent diverticulitis and c diff, followed by a bowel resection. I have a hard time digesting foods now. My dietician told me to switch to sourdough, which i have found to tolerate much better. So when he said the sourdough thing, i thought, how easy is it for him to take a piece of something true FOR SOME and spin it to look like thats what we all need. Its crazy making! Thank you for the work you do in breaking down misinformation

this has inspired me to make a giant sandwich, I might even do an extra layer of bread

Used to believe everything this guy said when I was losing weight with keto 🤦🏻

Wow i have an autisitc kid too! 12 yrs old non-verbal. Idk what to do somtimes. If you know of anything that i could do to help him. Please let me know. Thanks ❤

All you have to do is take one look at Layne Norton and one look at Eric Berg and see who’s advice is worth taking

Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity is a thing, I have it. The elimination diet told me so. Other wise great video as always!!

Can bread be used as raw material to make morphine?

Layne, im really curious now about Gluten senitivity now. I was told by a doctor to try a gluten elimination diet for a month to see if my headaches/insomnia/brain fog would go away. It did go away and i absolutely never eat anything with gluten. Is it really the gluten, or could it be something else? Edit: I was tested for celiacs, and came back negative.

Just completely love the humorous take on these dunks, so hilarious 😂 Greetings from a Swedish fan in Beijing 🌆

When he described "healthwashing", I almost died laughing.

I cannot believe that there are still people who follow the advices of the Alec Bergs of RU-vid. Thank you for speaking out and pointing the reality, hope more people see your videos.

Haven't even watched the video yet but it's a Dr. Berg episode, so I know this gonna be good.

Thank you, Dr Norton, for not abusing stock footage like Berg does. It warms my heart to rather just look at your lovely face.

Used to believe and follow Dr.Bergs advice 2 years ago. The results were... - Unhealthy Relationship with Food - Craving Carbs constantly - Going on a Carb Bender - Low Energy & Mood Swings - Weight Gain Calories in Calories out if you want to lose weight. Simple.

I have a question; I've heard a lot of mental health professionals recently saying that inflammation can cause depression and anxiety, and that a gluten-free diet will improve symptoms. Is there any actual research and truth behind this, or is it just a truism that's been repeated? Because it leaves me feeling like if I'm not willing to never eat things I like, I'm lazy and will never get better.

Thank you for the excellent critique. So many nutrition mountebanks use about 10 critical fallacies for a short video, which reveals their contempt for their audience. I'll take your common sense and science over their chicanery any day. Thanks for the videos.

Great honest info thank you 👍

I remember once the guy said if you go for a 15 minute walk you run out of glycogen 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well fat provides the flavor and aroma for food, so people might end up eating more since fat makes food tastes better, thus bread is not the only trigger food. People can eat what they want as long as you do not go overboard. Enough black and white thinking, test things for yourself, and strive to be active and healthy. Thanks for the video Dr. Layne, great content.

Thank you for making these videos and debunking this stuff. It's so easy to get sucked into dietary zealotry.

I am on the spectrum myself. I generally don’t care that much when people say something about autism, especially if it’s a joke, but what Eric Berg said really shook me to the core. My whole life I’ve always felt that I was not normal, or that I was less than, and I’m still to this day trying to work past it, land when Eric Berg says what he says, it perpetuates those ideas that neurodivergent folks are “less than.” I’m sure others may resonate with this too.

As a portuguese woman,i could not go without bread .... first of all is delicious and also is a big part of my portuguese culture. At a table, bread and olive oil are always present.

Please debunk more of Berg's videos.

Please debate with him Layne..it would be very very intresting to watch!

Sir, can you pls do a Video on Mtfhr, I have double mtfhr and all the information out there is crazy and cause insanity when trying to figure it out. Pretty pls!!

Wow. The way that Berg guy was taking it, you’d wonder how a human who ate bread every week could make it to twenty years!

The what the fitness series is fantastic. Debunking these "gurus" with facts, while being entertaining", is a rare skill. I hope the channel grows alot more, you deserve it sir!

THanky Ou Mr Berg I stopped eating bread and it cured my schizophrenia and autism :)

Now i know why i struggle with mental health, thank you Dr. Berg

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I thought I was alone in my loathing for the sh*t-berg. His condescending, amateurish grifting has been infuriating me for years. Thank you!

I'd like more videos from dr berg's son exposing the cult of Scientology, the quackery of his dad, and their relationship breakdown. I wonder if that was all caused by Berg not eating bread.

I just found this channel and had to subscribe. Good job young man.

Thank you for standing against all those confusers!

Layne, maybe you could try carnivore to help your sons autism. Worth a try mate. It's helped others.

Just wanted you to know, I was eating my protein waffles for breakfast while I watched this.( btw, I am down 53 lb since discovering Greg doucette's anabolic diet, which is full of bread) found you through the interview you did with him. I'm adding this comment after watching further in the video. This guy is a complete clown. How dare he blame everything from autism to depression on bread. What a quack. Kudos to you for retaining your composure after such an " inflammatory" comment. You're a Class Act sir

I had eczema for most of my life, every winter was a nightmare, i cut gluten out and it went away in a month, not had any significant breakouts since, fuck knows how but my life improved.
