Everybodys system is different you have to know your body what works and what dont work. Dr. Giving us very good information so we know where to start. Thank you dr.
I have a major problem with bruising. Those tiny red dots are in a few different places and yes that right side PAIN. Praying for anyone else going through this. Change our diet and get healthy.
OK, so how does a Keto style diet fit in here ?... If the liver doesn't tolerate Red Meats or a High Fats .? I Try a Keto diet for 2 months & gained weight . I have a Fatty Liver with this type of Basket Ball Stomach. Yes fluid make sense as mine does wobble. Forget a Keto diet here. What i can make of it a Mediterranean style diet seems a better solution. High in Fish & Omega Fatty Acids, oatmeal , olive-oil. ect...less red meats. do not eat processed foods like sausages or packet foods. stick to Raw foods.I am now a Vegetarian and feel good 🤙
Greasy or deep fried meats are not a healthy way to keto. Healthy meat with no additives and plant based fats like avocado and coconut and nuts is a healthy way to do keto.
smaller red meat portions and more cruciferous. Oatmeal won't help ur bloodsugar, in fact just the opposite. to understand the keto diet can be quite difficult, took me 4 months of research. It saved my life. Give it another go.
I do keto vegan (for recipes you can check @the_keto_vegan on instagram) and if you follow Dr. Berg more and hear him explain keto he`ll tell you that you don`t necessarily need much fats to maintain it, unless you`re skinny. You can just eat vegetables and plant based protein, nuts, some legumes. He also has a great video on olive oil, it`s when i started buying pure oil by this local Greek-Dutch family who imports from their land and their neighbors on Crete. So there are loads of ways to do it, but yea if you have a liver issue, I wouldn`t add too much fats to your diet. I noticed it myself too initially and I`m not fat, just not very healthy all the time per se.. Giving your liver rest by not consuming alcohol and doing healthy keto with limited fats would do wonders and like someone also mentioned OMAD might also help to give your body time to restore the damage or a complete fast for a few days.. Dr Berg has videos on that too..
@@pyruvicac.id_ Hi, Im Endomorphic or Kapah In the Eastern Medicine side. If you are this body type, this diet not conducive as you can get Gout or Uric Acid from too much Red Meats from a fatty diet. Cheese ect. Just not for everyone. Western Medicine gives a basic guide on what to eat for your body type, example low carbs ect if you are my type however , you also have to know what type of carbs to remove from the diet also, like for me it breads & pasta, sugar, rice, ect. wheres Western teachings do not cover this in most cases.
I know what he’s saying is accurate, I used to drink a lot of shots with beer chasers after work or on my days off when I gambled at the casinos. I developed very dry itchy feet and a skin tag near my eye plus I had excema and rosacea too. My belly has been swelling to the point I look very pregnant like 6-7 months preggo. I slowed down drinking but need to really find something to cleanse my liver because I’ve been gaining a lot of weight in the last year. I can barely walk because my feet are really dry and cracked. Oh and I’ve had red spots for years and bruise easily just like he mentioned. I am female and 50 I live in Las Vegas where u can get cocktails all day and night so yeah I drank a lot.
You have to eat a lot of cruciferous vegetables like he said. Think broccoli and cauliflower, which moving away from the activities that are actually destroying your health. Would you like to make it to 60?
This organic milk thistle tea called Buddha Teas I got at the health food store I drank that on an empty stomach and it was so soothing to the liver. I think it's a great detox but if you are on certain medications or high blood pressure medication it's best to use caution.
Thank you Dr. Berg. I also, wanted to hear more. Very informative, so important for all of us. (I have a friend who may be having most of those symptoms you listed.) Your video brought back a forgotten memory. I once prayed for a lady who had, (incurable,) hepatitis C. Over night, all the stored toxins in her liver began expelling orally & rectally. The process was pretty icky, but she began to feel a whole lot better, started getting healed rather quickly. Maybe this other condition can be healed quicker than 3 years, w/ prayer & proper diet. (Just a thought.) Now I know why that clean, high meat, dairy keto didn't work for me. It turned me into the Goodyear blimp. Went vegan immediately. In my past, I heard, a man had to go in for a six artery pass. (I just cringed, feeling sorry for that man.) Myself w/ someone else, prayed, the Lord, if He would please clean out all that plaque out of his arteries and just blow it out of his system.The doctors could no longer find the plaque. It was gone! (He no longer needed that surgery.) Another doctor I learn so much from is Dr. Neal Bernard, who also has a great sense of humor. ""Foods for Protecting the Body and Mind." on RU-vid
"High meat and dairy" is not "clean" Keto. Dr. Berg reminds us practically every video that healthy Keto is "MODERATE MEAT" and virtually no dairy other than some cheeses and sour cream. NO Keto expert will recommend processed milk.
I feel better eating meats and fats though, I find when I eat plant based I feel groggy and fatigued? I’m naturally skinny and struggle to gain weight. Yes I have liver red dots all over my skin and couldn’t work out why? I’m very bloated and as I’m skinny (I do eat a lot!) people assume I’m pregnant! Everything you mentioned Dr Eric everything you said is 100% me and accurate! Every symptom you mentioned is exactly what I have!! Thank you! 🙏🏻
Me too I’m thin but I have the skin dots, a few spider veins since my last (twin) pregnancy, discomfort in the right side and I found out almost two years ago it was my liver. What caused it was my sugar addiction. Intermittent fasting has helped and most recently taking bile salts.
@@CandaceTarbat Have your red dots disappeared and liver healed? I dont eat much sugar, and generally eat pretty healthy. Everything is made from scratch. Maybe though I need to eat more cruciferous veggies, and more fruit and nuts than I do...Its limited what we get in Scandinavia of organic affordable and varied fruit...I need to device an eating plan through all of Dr. Berg's advice. Just to get to it is the issue haha 😉
I was like that too, except my body was completely unable to function without large quantities of fatty meats and cheese. I can't go into my long history that lead up to a myriad of health issues, but it all started with the over consumption of diet soda in my late teens to mid twenties. In my case, 3 years of fasting and intermittent fasting on the days I wasn't fasting, with a low glycemic diet and almost a year of intense daily exercise and as of this month I am finally able to reduce my meat intake to about a single serving of canned salmon a day vs the 4-5 chicken thighs and half pound of cheese I used to eat daily. I am not fat, but my liver clearly was and probably still is to a degree!! Anyway, just saying take care of your liver and power through trying to reduce the meats and bad fats, it may make you feel better to eat them in the short term but in the long run you'll be preserving your health.
In the first minute of this video you say the basket ball stomach is full of fluid leaking from the liver, but what is the fluid and where is it in the stomach? How is it leaking and how can we stop the leak? I'm pretty sure I'm predominantly a liver type, and would like to understand better what is going on. Can this fluid create a rash of any kind?
Lost 44 lbs in 5 months doing Keto, 20/4 IF, and OMAD... I was camping out last weekend, wound up going to Sonic (fast food) , had cheese sticks and jalapeño cheddar poppers... Next morning my hands were puffed up like marshmallows!!
Following Dr Berg for a while. 20 days ago I decided to omit sugar and bread, and starchy veg. I.e. night shade specifically. Changed snacks to cooked meats cut into bite size snacks and all meals/ snacks. Planted a garden and eat fresh veggies and herbs everyday and all foods are consumed within a 5 hour window daily. First week I had headaches off and on. But my bloating has gone away, feel more alert, sleeping thru the night. Also added (as needed) bile salts, as my gall bladder was removed in the early 90’s. Started taking b vitamins, 1 daily muliti-over the counter vitamin, extra gentle iron, lysine with red marine algae and garlic bulb, extra calcium, magnesium, zinc with D-3. My joints feel great, seems more juiced and I’m no longer stiff and bent over getting out of bed in the mornings! My clothes are really loose and my face is much thinner too! I don’t use scales, (its not about vanity for me), its about life style changes and my health, and overall feeling of wellness. And my skin is less rash-y. I’ll be approaching late 60’s this year, wish I had started in my 30’s- 40’s when subtle changes and unexplainable conditions began. Thank you Dr. Berg!
Wow! That's amazing! I will share this with Dr. Berg! If you’ve benefited from Dr. Berg’s program or content in any way, we’d love to hear your success story! Please use this link: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story Dr. Berg's Support Team.
Love the vids! I have this type however I disagree with some of your conclusions of what is happening… this type carries weight on the upper part of the belly because this is where fat is being stored. Visceral fat. The bad kind around your organs. This is a fatty liver. Fatty liver can cause a lot of issues but is best tackled through reduction in alcohol and carbs. Doing so will allow the liver to use up the fat within. You’ll notice this change by measuring your waistline (I’d argue that measurement is the ONLY key one to indicate health and this has been known for many decades…). Gallstones can also play a big part especially in regards to digestive issues as not enough bile can be produced ergo the bloating about 10-20 minutes after eating. Cruciferous veg does make an impact because 1) low fat so not going to cause issues due to lack of bile and 2) low carb so unlikely to add to the deposits of fat in the liver. I’m not sure if they have some other effect though?
I agree that low carb is a good approach (and I love cruciferous veg and eat mostly every day). I have done it for over a year now and got my cholesterol down to normal from high and lost 20lbs. I then started eating sausages again and cream (thinking more fat would help weight loss); but my cholesterol numbers and weight started creeping up again, so I'm back to chicken and fish. My weight has gone back down, and I am looking forward to seeing my cholesterol numbers...liver and cholesterol are linked, if I am not mistaken.
Wow, I learned so much and realized why I get migraines and headaches at times and how to get rid of them. And also why I crave sweets after meals. Where have you been all my life, Dr. Berg?! 😆
I think my husband is this type, I’m the adrenal type for sure. We both drink too much but I definitely want both of us to get healthier. I am definitely guilty of abusing my liver lately😢.
So when Doc Berg says heavy cooked protein it's only meat or fish and plant proteins like quinoa count too? Because those have protein and spend a lot of time being cooked.
He’s talking about servings of meat the size of your head. And fried meats and food. Keto is about moderate servings of protein and a ton of veggies. In other videos he recommends 7 cups of vegetables daily.
I was diagnosed with having a fatty liver you're talking about bile I'm not sure but isn't that something that has to do with your gallbladder? And if so what do you do if you do not have a gallbladder because I do not have a gallbladder. And I do lay on my side 95% of the time because of habit and years ago I was told or seeing something maybe on a video that when you lay on your left side and helps drain some stuff it's supposed to be really good for you and you're telling me no I should lay on my right side I don't know I'm so confused about everything I was wanting to do that keto diet but it's hard when you've got to hook can be around food because of your husband I don't know what to do this video is older but if you do read this comment would you please do a super long updated video about fatty liver for people like me please help me understand what I hear so many people have a fatty liver and they don't even know they have it. Please help me get through this I think an updated more details and easy to understand about the body in the liver certain things to eat for the liver to get that fat out or fat out of the pockets whatever it is I'd really appreciate it and I hope you get some comment. Thank you.
Can't one get belly fat for reasons other than the liver? I have fibromyalgia, venous insufficiency leg wounds that won't heal, and I suspect stealth pathogens. I'm 57 & in the last 2 or so years, after my mom passed & I have become much less active & under even greater stress, I have developed abt a 5" fat layer on my abdomen.
Great Work! I was struggling and finding myself at odds with calorie counting. I added milk thistle & turmeric and balanced my diet! Unbelievable results! Performance up up up! I feel way better!
I just started using acv again but what is ox bile?he mentioned bile salt not sure what kind how much etc to take unless you can just use 2 tblsp of acv 3x's a day then during the dsy the lemon jouce cocktail he mentioned.
He says in other videos If the liver is ALREADY scarred and damaged... People should probably eat nothing but cruciferous veggies for a few days and maybe some eggs for Bile productions...
Dr. Berg, can the liver body type also have restless legs? I've been trying to trace down this issue, after getting severe RLS after starting a new medication. I've been off that medication for 8 years, but still have residual RLS. All the other symptoms resonate.
At 3.11 its said that the yellowish pad at the inside corner of the eyes is due to Vitamin A deficiency. This is incorrect. These are Cholestrol deposits due to sluggish liver functioning. One can have high cholestrol even if the person doesnt smoke, drink alchohol, is a vegetarian and exercises regularly. I am one this types!!!
Dr Eric Berg. Thank you for the great information. God bless you. Can you please tell me that the skinny fat body type protruding belly with a bit of chest fat as well is a liver body type as well.
Question, once we get to ideal weight and conquer health issues, do we stay on keto for life, go back occasionally for maintenance, or are we cured and can go back to a normal diet?
What is a normal diet? A diet is what you eat. If you eat what is bad for you, that is your normal diet, it's just bad for you. If you eat food that is good for you, then that is your normal diet and it is good for you. Eat what makes you feel good all day. If you feel good on keto, eat keto. If you need to add in other food, do so.
Only someone who served in the military understands the sarcasm of saying "Your military right." lol @DrEricBergDC I'm visiting you from 2023 to tell you how great you look 7 years after this video. What a difference! You look so tired here. Now you look younger, fresh and full of energy. Well done!
For years I was doing keto + IF (lots of red meat) with mediocre results. I started just eating 5 eggs+1 can of sardines and cruciferous (fermented & fresh) veggies every day and bam. Lost half pound every day.
He's talking to the general population, not just people on a keto diet. I would imagine that people on a balanced keto diet will be more able to tolerate heavy red meat, because their liver should be healthy.
Somethings a miss here. If you look at old videos in the 50s and 60s you see most everyone is thin- no big belly. I know they ate more red meat and fried foods.
@@VitaminJ7734 its been so long I don’t even remember what it said but the best diet for the liver no matter what Boulder type you are is to dump the carbs and up the fat. These guys leave up old videos they contradict with later and it really looks bad. There is no reason for an anti keto video on a Keri channel. There is either one or the other. It can’t be both.
@@splatterdaynightmares I don't know about that though. I think when she just start siding with one diet not the other ask you just got to come in one of those fad dieticians. Although it's clear Eric is very keto at this point, I think he may have been unbias at one point.
@@splatterdaynightmares I'm happy for your success. Your not the only one. So many people have benefit from keto. I just wish I was one of them. I never had any health problems till I tried keto. But I have a habit of over doing things.
with all due respect sir you are damp right , ihave the same problem . i tried everything from running 6 to 10 kms on treadmill everyday to even kickboxing , i now have insane stamina . i even had a thin body but belly is not decreasing even an inch , i am frustrated , and i do have a belly which is easily rippled , plz help . and i am a veg . maybe kick boxing will help but i dont have any diet plans
Try giving up all wheat products and sugary foods. Maybe dairy. Do the trifecta, no: wheat, dairy, sugars. You are probably getting “wheat belly.” If you feel more mentally focused and less joint pain aches when you stop, it’s a good indicator that that’s your problem. Try cutting your meals in half, too. Most people eat way more than they need, this is a painless way to reduce overall calories.
My gosh you have come a long way. I wonder if you still stand by all this. It is tough to reconcile 'liver cant handle protein, so eat a keto diet' . These videos are years apart...but can't fit together. And yes, you look MUCH better now than you did 5 years ago.
Yvonne Deaver Three and a half years eating the following everyday to heal your liver: cruciferous and other vegetables (7-10 cups or ounces a day), healthy fats (60-70 % of your intake), between 3 to 6 ounces of easy to digest proteins at each meal, digestive enzymes and ox bile to break down fats. No alcohol, sugar, trans fats, fried food, or grains. Check out Dr. Berg's video on cravings.
Thanks! It took quite a while to work up to that, but I feel so much better now. So many issues I struggled with for years are gone. And another benefit I hadn't considered was how much less I'm spending on food even though I'm buying organic and grass fed meat. I don't spend money of sugar, snacks, coffee, or rich deserts because I don't even want them. I can now walk pass a See's Candy store and not walk in for the free sample. :)
Doctors don't have enough nutrition education. Med school focuses on everything but nutrition. They literally have to find out information on their own. Which is why every doctor will tell you something different. Some will stick to the government's guidelines for healthy eating and others will push what ever they researched on their own and stuck to.
@@RustyNickels he said bile comes from the liver but it comes from the gallbladder and if you have issues with digesting fats/absorbing fatsoluable vitamins due to low bile output you cannot do keto which is a high fat diet. For a fatty liver however, keto is a great diet.
