What Would I Eat if I had Diabetes? - Try Dr.Berg's Diet For Diabetes 

You absolutely hit the nail on the head. Follower for life. Age 75, eat low carb, excercise, and still working full time. Split wood on the weekends. We went low carb nearly 10 years ago, and I was told by everyone what a bad idea it was. The proof is in the pudding (or lack thereof)

Thank you Dr. Berg, your advice changes lives. I was diagnosed with diabetes in August of 2018 with an A1C of 14.1, the Dr said that was the highest she had seen. I was put on metformin with no conversation about my diet or anything else as a recommendation. I was determined to find a way to address this without medication. I found your channel and started using your recommendation. In November I was down to 7.1 and this month(February) am measured as 5.1. There is so much confusion about diabetes and proper treatment and I am very grateful that I found your channel, thank you for all you do.

This is one of the bravest videos I've seen to date. There are many kinds of heroes in the world, and you're one of them, Dr. Berg!

I knew that years ago as a type 1 diabetic now 50 years. The American Diabetes Association is killing us with wrong meal plans.

I didn't take my oral agent. Ate butter, avacados and steak in moderation. Cut out SUGAR . My A1c went from 10.3 to 5.1. Damn doctors!. All this in 3 months.

Dr Berg, my brother is a diabetic. I doubt he lives five mor years . And he’s only 60!I am going to beg him to watch this outstanding video. I’ve been eating keto for a year. Best thing I did for my health! I’ve been trying to get my brother on keto , but he says his Dr says he needs to follow the set guide lines. I was thrilled when you said it was killing people. Exactly what I told my brother!!! Thank you for your honesty!!!!

Much respect to this guy. He's dead-on about these doctors. My father did exactly what those docs told him and he's not here today because of it. This guy is literally saving lives from diabetes and heart disease.

I have (had) type 2 diabetes but never took medication for it (not recommended, but talk to your doctor). I've been following your videos and finally decided to try keto, and after a couple months I went to my doctor and my A1 numbers are normal, thank God. Again this is with no medication. I've also lost weight and my blood pressure is back to normal. I'm currently doing one meal a day (dinner). You can definitely reverse type 2 diabetes, don't give up

You're basically talking about the KETO-diet. No carbs (at all) and as much fat as you need (or can handle). I started this diet when I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes 20 years ago. I lost 40 kg of weight in 2 years time. Since 4 years no need for insuline and methformine anymore. Great video and explanation!

I am type 2 diabetic, I stick to no sugar no grains, my blood sugar is stable and I don't have to take metformin, this really works.

Call it what it is Dr. Berg, *Diabetes is a business* I lost 12lbs in 2 weeks on Keto and going strong, I want to reverse diabetes, and getting of metformin! Thank you for being honest, and teaching us🌹

This guy is pure gold! Absolutely amazing, please keep posting videos! you deserve 1 billion subscribers

Well said, well done Dr Berg. I've followed your advice, and I've lost 69 LBS. I went from 301 to 232 as of today. My goal is 200 LBS.

I’ve lost 30 pounds in four months following Dr.Berg! Thank you Dr. Berg you changed my life

I am 30 and I have been a diabetic type 1 for years. I was taking 30 units of insulin in each meal and my sugar was always out of control. I started this eating plan and now I am down to 10-15 units per meal and my sugar is always 80-120. I don’t have highs and I don’t have lows. I love how he explains how the body works because it makes sense and now I know why I am doing this. Thanks Dr. Berg!!!

Thank you so much for your work! As someone who has watched both her mother and grandfather deteriorate and eventually die from heart disease and diabetes and watch her grandmother waste away from Alzheimer’s your videos are my saving grace. Watching at least one of your videos everyday keeps me motivated to make the changes that will save my life. I never though I’d be motivated enough to attempt IF, but here I am at week 2 of 19:5 and feeling amazing! Thank you Dr. Berg! Please never stop teaching!

Few months ago i'd became aware about my stomach for being bloated even i do exercise. I was heavy carb eater of that time as i believed carbs help me to fuel up my body to do all my daily activities. I do research to found a solution for my bloated stomach until i landed on your channel. After watching i start fasting and almost cut my carbohydrate into my diet. My main diet was fresh caught fish, eggs, meat and a little to none rice. I stay away from sugary food, drinks and even snacks. For just a month i feel the changes, it start to lessen the bloating of my stomach, decrease weight and gain more muscle mass and tone to my body. Thank you so much for your videos, i am so grateful that i found your channel. it really helps me a lot.

I started to cut out the sugar yesterday and I'm not so bloated today. My new lifestyle plan.

As a.nurse I have seen a lot of people eat candy bars and snack cakes to "cover the insulin". That is crazy!

You are so pleasant to listen to besides the fact that you're so incredibly informative!! Love you Dr. Berg!!

Thank you Dr Berg. My brother is a doctor and he never explained any of this! I've researched your explanations and you are 100% correct. Really appreciate your excellent and informative videos. I truly hope millions of people learn from you and change their lives

The amount of diabetics or pre diabetics that still eat high amount of carbs is unbelievable..Dr. Berg really is telling us facts that is life changing for soo many people🔥🔥

May God bless you with very very long life, Dr. Berg. Love you.

Dr., u look much younger in your recent videos. Obviously, you are doing things correct to maintain and.improve good health. Kudos.

I'm in Australia and our diabetic association puts out a diet with eating bread 4-6slices/day if I remember correctly. The Metformin does very little but I came down in my sugar levels to practically normal with 6Wks eating only protein and veg. I ate fat in the form of Aioli (non sugared brand). Avocados are fats too remember. No fruit. No Carbs. I lost 10kg/22lbs. Metformin is a business. Big Pharma is the top business in the world and Cancer the 2nd or they were in the 1970's. I'm glad this Dr Berg has the balls to say the Diabetic Associations keep you diabetic. Big Pharma is to blame.

His videos are the only videos that make me want ti eat right. Thank you Dr. Berg

Your changing the world, Doc. Nine weeks later, 25lbs lost and able to walk for 30 minutes non-stop without pain in my joints you've changed mine!

You're a great service to you tube viewers educating them on medical stuff for free. You have a very good heart Dr. Berg!

Thank you Dr Berg. I found out I was a type two diabetic three months ago and went to the Doctors today. He shook my hand a said I’m no longer a diabetic. Please listen if you have diabetes. I really fill so much better. I watched most of these videos and found a plan that worked for me. .

Thank you, Dr. Berg. By assisting my wife as a Nutritionist in the System, I took a lot of courses in nutrition to assist her with her papers since we have small children. I began writing papers and interacting with Doctors, PHD's in Nutrition and you are the correct one. I have heard them admit that my position concerning blood sugar was correct and it needs to be corrected to the public like you are indicating but they are afraid of the Educational System and Big PHRMA. I would say to the diabetics and those who are prediabetic to go slow and then once on the correct diet, stay on that diet and you will be ok. At first, you may feel your body starting to get to the adjusting point and you may feel sleepy or low energy or even high energy too. Thank you, my friend, you are a truth-teller and I am happy we have the right to interact with persons such as you. Those guidelines were not correct when they made them concerning all those carbohydrates and they knew it but could not stop policy. They bring in the HPB medication along with Metformin and it is nothing but a common circle of keeping someone on medication. In our family two brothers one very much older (20 years) married two sisters (again one 20 years older). Diabetes on that one side of the family has killed many of them. My Mom's sister died at 41 years of age due to diabetes. The diabetes will attack females in one generation, attack males in another generation and because they could not be disciplined or taught to challenge( One of my cousin's wife attempted to challenge the physician on her husband and the Physician ordered her out of the room), so many never challenged what the physician was telling them especially on the diet, they died at an early age. I was able to reverse that situation because I have always been very disciplined and even my primary care physician complimented me in front of other research physicians because of being able to reverse the diabetic stance in my body. Keep telling the truth. It will save lives and also allow persons to have a better quality of life too. God Bless Always !

I wasn't going to comment but I can't help it. A month ago after catching COVID, I developed diabetes. Doctor put me on metformin on the first visit without asking me about my diet or telling me what to avoid. 2 weeks later. i asked hin if I'll ever be free, doctor looked at me and said no. My heart sinked. I thought I heard him wrong. He said I'll always be on tge meds. After watchong this video, I have hope and for the first time sibce then I xan see the light and a happy future with my family. My A1C is 10.5. My glucose levels are in the 200-399. They used to be in the 400-525 for the first week of diagnosed. I'm starting the intermittent and KETO diet today. Current wight is 168lbs. I will update in 1 month. I don't need luck.

Thank you Dr. I have been type 2 diabetic for 23 years and just now learning to get rid of carbs. We have been lied to all these years.

As a pre diabetic I REALLY appreciate this video and also want to add the food and drug industry are nothing but evil! Good work Doc.

I cannot tell you how much i appreciate this information. If you have diabetic tendencies, you HAVE to eat this way if you want to stay healthy! Thank you, D. Berg!

I had hypoes for 50 years, always fainting. I have been low carb (20 to 30 grams per day) for 10 months now, and I have had not one hypo. I am 66 and I did this all through watching people like yourself on Utube. I am so thankful to get on track with my health. Why is this not being recommended by all GPS. Diebeties 2 would not exist and we would all be healthier. Pico from Queensland Australia

Great work!!! Lack of information kill a lot of people even the medical practitioners. You are changing so many people life. Kudos!

My diabetic dietitian recommended 30g carbs for breakfast, 30g carbs for lunch, and 45g carbs for supper, plus some fruit in between as a snack. Yep, they want me medicated for life.

I absolutely love you Dr. Berg! Thank you for all that you do to help heal the willing! ❤️

The bainwashed doctors are willing participants because they have boats, cars, houses, and degrees to pay for... It's a subscription model.

Everything you said, I was told that by my diabetic dr. 40 - 60 grams of carbs. Sad I believe it without doing my own research. After 9 days in of fasting I can now go 24 hours without eating. I'm trying for 36hrs. My A1C was 9.1 on the 4th of February 2020. After eating healthy, no carbs, only real foods. My blood is showing after eating (2hrs later 123, 7 hrs later 97. As a truck driver I was stuck on fast food, processed foods. Now I will only eat fresh salad with protein. Or won't eat at all. Thank you Dr Berg and everyone else on RU-vid. I'm not on a diet, I'm changing my lifestyle of eating

when i cut out the sugar, i have to remind myself to eat b/c i hardly ever feel hungry.

You're a genius Dr. Berg. I'm so glad I came across your channel. Your plan is going to add decades to my life. Thank you for all this content!

Dr.Berg thank you so much for sharing this priceless presentation. I tell you I stopped seeing Doctors sometime ago, I now view you on RU-vid and learn from what you teach and I have felt 100% much better than going to see a Doctor. I love it!

Seriously, Dr. Berg deserves to have his own show. 👍

I have more side effects from taking Metformin that I did without it.

This man knows what he is talking about. Thank you, Dr.

Just want to say I'm down from 285 to 261 . 58 days . I have learned alot from you. Thanks !

I would loved to have seen meal examples following this philosophy. All I keep finding are foods that encourage the belief system of the ADA.

90 days ago diagnosed type 2 diabetic. Immediately went on LCHF diet. Then, AC1 was 7.4. Now 5.2. Super easy to boot. And yummy.

High Fructose Corn Syrup is the main cause of all the illnesses skyrocketing

I want to cry. I’ve been Type 2 for 20 years (I am about to turn 43). Ive been morbidly obesemy entire adult live, and I have PCOS as well as fibromyalgia, and possibly lupus. I’ve been on insulin for 10 years. I was losing control on my glucose numbers, needing more and more medication. A year ago I was requiring the top dosage of Janumet twice a day; as 80 Units of Lantus each night along with 3 doses of 60units of Novorapid per day. I went on a plant based (not entirely vegan) diet, and made real progress. There was a traumatic death in my family and I fell of the wagon. No doctor ever suggested more than losing wait and not eating anything with carbs or fat. Even when I ate almost nothing, my numbers spiked. Over the past year I have lost 26kgs (I’m 5ft 2inches). But my numbers are no lower. The biggest change I made was secretly going off insulin in March of this year. I’m eating much less, but my Dr is a pro-Atkins/Paleo and thinks I should never eat fruit. But fruit didn’t make me fat. What made me fat was my childhood of 80’s bread and “meat and 3 veg” diet. And possibly...insulin? Which I’ve asked 3 GPS and 2 diabetic nurses. And all have scoffed and told me that there was no way that insulin had caused me to lose weight. I feel defeated and honestly, betrayed by doctors. 😢

I try to get my parents to start adopting a more healthy way of eating but their old ways got them thinking they can never reverse their diabetes. God give me strength in helping them.

Dr. Berg, I can't thank you enough for helping me find the solution to my weight problem and my type 2 diabetes. Two years ago I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes when my sugar read 350+. Which wound up producing a 12.7 A1C. I was put on the maximum amount of Metformin and an after eating medication that I can't think of right now to get my sugar under control. I was also directed to go on a high fiber, high protein diet. I found it impossible to stick with the diet because I was hungry all the time. Since discovering your videos my life is changing for the better. I started going on KETO about 2 months ago and over the past two weeks I have gotten down to one meal per day. I'm down 32 pounds have much more energy, no longer ravenous and I haven't taken any diabetes medicine in close to six months and since going on KETO my morning sugar is consistently in the 70's to mid 80's. I'm 6 feet tall , I'm 52 years old and I drive a truck for a living. I started at 350, and am now down below 318 with a goal of eventually reaching 200 -220. Again many thanks and GOD bless you!!!

I’m in Love! He is so cute and smart! Thank you Dr. Berg; I have left sugars and carbohydrates out of my diet and I eat very well! I feel so energized and have lost weight in just a week! I saw your first video one week ago and you have educated me so much abouth how the body reacts to the food! THANK YOU!!!!

👏THANK YOU DR. "WISE" BERG! 👍AMAZING INFORMATION! The doctors did this exact "CRAP" to my mom! I always said she was NOT a diabetic...she needed to see what was causing her insulin to rise. What foods? She ate very little yet some foods may have had the hidden sugars. She tried and the doctors would depress her and give her more meds. 😔Sadly...My sweet mom is with JESUS now. I wish we could have learned what was happening. You explain it so well. I kept telling those doctors she did not need all those meds...meds destroyed her organs!

Dr.. Berg changed my life completely. Thanx Man. Guys he is the best in business.

Thanks for the TRUTH Dr. Berg you are saving our LIVES.

Yes,I am a type 1 Diabetic and I never had my endocrinologist tell me that interaction between the Liver and the insulin and the Potassium factors that you talked about!I mean why haven't I been told about this before? Thanks a lot Dr.Berg!!

3:42 “I lost the weight and now I will go back to eating the way I did before” KETO is a lifestyle.

I was a victim of the diabetes industry for many years (tons of metformine) I am doing healthy keto and IF now for nearly 3 months. The beginning was hard.I really had to complement my electrolytes because i had cramps, insomnia and muscle fatigue. years of devastating eating habits and medicines destroyded a lot. The metformine gave me also a B1 deficiency and oxalate problems. But now i am feeling better by the day! lost 20 pounds without starving! no medicines any more for diabetes nor high blood pressure. Take a long walk every day. learned a lot from Dr Berg. Very grateful cause i getting my health back! I think i need another few months to get where i want. Sometimes i become so angry because so many people are misled by the food industry and pharmaceutical industry! It is a gift we have internet now and can find people who tell the true story.

My goal was to get off insulin. I was taking 5 to 6 injections a day for over 2 years now... Eating a moderate omnivore diets. Insulin dosing keep increasing over time as well since my diagnosis and even with insulin I wasn't managed well into normal levels of glucose... I decided to go ketogenic with the goal of controlling my diabetes first and if I got weightloss as a benefit that would be great too. But 1st goal is to get off insulin because insulin makes it harder and harder to fight diabetes. Extra insulin insures you will be always storing fat no matter what you eat--- so why the hell am I injecting this stuff? By the way, high sugar does not cause diabetes, high sugar is a symptom of diabetes. What causes diabetes is high insulin... YES HIGH INSULIN!!! If you always secrete too much insulin in response to carbs and sugar this results in insulin resistance and undetected possibly for a decade or more it leads into diabetes. You go to the doctor. He sticks your finger and says well blood sugars look perfectly normal... But what he doesn't know-- is that you secrete 2 to 3 times as much insulin as a normal person to keep your sugars at a normal level. This is type 2 diabetes slowly eating away at you without knowing it. The darn doctors don't do a fast insulin check to see if you are abnormally high with those levels... Okay, 5 weeks into a ketogenic diet and I haven't taken an insulin injection since starting. Glucose levels are much more normal and I average a 118. Prior with insulin I was averaging a 150-170 with dips as low as 50 and swings above 300. With ketogenic diet I dip to 95 and swing as high as 150 (usually from ingesting unknown carbs or taking readings to close post of a meal). I couldn't be happier with how my diabetes is moving into remission. The weight loss didn't start out to well, because I was still eating a high calorie diet with the fat consumption. 2500 to 3000 calories-- but I still lost a 1lb+ a week at that rate. After 4th week, I didn't have the urge to eat as much--- the little fat I was eating and protein was keeping me very happy so calories have moved into 1500 to 1700 range currently. My resting MBR is 2,200 and if I eat 1500 calories that creates a 700 calories deficit per day which means I ought to lose about 2 lbs a week this way while not feeling hungry, while controlling blood sugar, etc... I'm very happy with this... 10 to 12 lbs a month and in 6 months I'll be a good healthy weight on my 6 ' frame. But like I said-- -health first!!! I must keep the insulin low, and sugars low. That must be the priority and the weight will come off slowly yet fast enough... on my keto approach I started with 75% Fat; 20% protein; and 5% carbs on 2500 to 3000 calories for nearly 4 week. I then shifted to 65% fat, to 30% protein; and 5% carbs.. at 1500 to 1700 calories... (I'm fuller, still low carb, just letting in more protein versus fat). The higher fat initially helped me get into ketosis quickly, and adapted to burning fat quickly as well for energy. I can honestly say, I'm never tired on this eating methodology as my body will burn it's own fat if I'm not eating it. Fasting is important too. I mean intermittent fasting. Stop snacking between meals as you need to give your body time to rest from working on ingested foods. Instead leave time between meals so that your body goes to its own fat stores to get it's energy. If you don't snack, between meals most of your day is a fasting day and that's goodness... If you think about it, that's how it used to be. Eat breakfast at 6am, fast 5 hours for lunch, eat lunch at 12:00 fast 6hrs ; eat dinner at 6PM and fast until breakfast (or BREAK FAST) or12 hours. This means you are fasting 5+6+12 or 23 hours subtract out digestion at 2 hrs post meal x3 for 6 hours and you are essentially fasting 17 hours out of a 24 hour day... Now, I'm planning on adding true water only fasting days to my program. Everything I've read state this is extremely beneficial to our bodies. So I'm going to likely pick alternate fasting days here soon. Monday's no eating, Wednesdays no eating, Saturday no eating all other days stay on ketogenic eating style. There is one man that was clinically followed that did the longest fast ever recorded and observed by science. A man weighing over 500lbs fasted on water for 383 days without any ill effects whatsoever. He lost 276lbs and 5 years post of his fast he is 190lbs to date. All lab tests showed were constant improvements with respect to all blood and urine tests... As a man experiencing this diet as a diabetic --I can only encourage others to listed to Dr. Berg and others telling you these are clinically proven to help you and even more so than the darn drugs... Get off those things and start to eat to live....

Your title was What Would I eat if I had Diabetes? You were extremely general. I watch you all the time. I get what your saying. I was hoping for a segment (You could even start a series of segments) with examples of foods that taste decent and work with this diet. P.S. Thanks for all your videos, I really appreciate you

Dr. Berg. Thanks. Following your advise on Intermittent Fasting and your encouraging videos I have come down from 35 units of insulin twice a day (70 units) and 2 Galvus (50mg x 2 tablets) to 5 units of insulin per day and one Galvus tablet only. Even on this low dosage I tend to go HYPO. I lost 10 kg in 3 months. In the past even with 70 units insulin my fasting blood sugar remained around 8.5 and often higher. Thanks to the over zealous Doctors and Pharmaceutical companies who obviously loved me for my patronage. To them I say, "all good" things must come to an end" and to you Dr. Berg I say that you are a BLESSING. GOD BLESS YOU.

your right....i was almost total keto ,got a1c to a five, went back to eating lots carbs, too many, with alot of fat.....now 2000 ml of metformin and 20 units insulin a meal, due to 11 score on latest a1c....ive got to go nearly keto, and get a1c down....i cant handle metformin... it was hard, but way better than all this dangerous meds that make you sicker than keto flu...your right,cuz thats what is taught in week long diabtus education....diatician tell you eat carbs....you are telling the truth, i know ive been on both reverse side, and increase side of type 2 now for years, dr berg....the meds will kill you possibly ,and only way i have got off meds is to drastically lower carbs... sugar, bread, potatoes, corn, and milk are just about like sugar, as they turn to sugar in your body.... every dr i go to FORCE metformin on me, they lower insulin, then up the metformin,which works not as well as higher dose insulin....its diet,or death.....i want to live,feeling healthy....everyone, LISTEN TO DR BERG, I KNOW FROM MY OWN DIABETIC CONDITION,HE IS 100 PERCENT CORRECT.....DR BERG, YOU ARE THE BEST....

I appreciate this video u are so awesome I’m changing my lifestyle permanently I’m 256 pounds my healthy slim weight is 159 I’m on the road to recovery

Thank you Dr. Berg, I am hoping to reverse my diabetes with the help of you and others on youtube. Your channel is most likely going to save my life. What a world we live in, where social media trumps a trip to the local physician.

Salamat Doc from Philippines, that's THANKS DOC!.

Learned so many things the hard way over the last 18 months. Three bouts of COVID, plus my vision being negatively affected---part of it from being sick 3 times in just 17 months, mostly of it from being very discouraged and depressed, so reverted to eating such things as rice and potatoes again (Recently diagnosed as T2D). Massive 50 pound weight gain after successfully losing 60 pounds (now have to lose at least 130 pounds). My car gave out on me at the same time I had the second bout of COVID, so everything was overwhelming, and I reacted in the worst way for my health. Now I've given up ALL forms of sugar, using only allulose and/or monk fruit for sweeteners. Not losing much weight, even though I'm OMAD, 20:4, but not gaining, either. I'm also almost 70, plus now have a challenge with vision, which is more age-related presbyopia, I do believe (finding out in two days). All I can say more is, I sure wish I'd known all this 45 years ago, and had taken corrective action---but back then, of course, absolutely nothing was available to the general public in regard to going low carb, high(er) fat, cut out the sugars.

Great video Dr. I have cut out ALL SUGAR and lost 15kg = 33 pounds in 3 months. Cycling 25 miles a day and doing IF for 20: 4 hrs has worked a treat.

Such valuable info ! I went a whole year counting 1200 calories a day (lots of carbs) running 3-5 miles 5 days a week and did not loose 1 lb now I eat low carb I im fast easily and loose weight effortlessly feel better then ever I wish more doctors would just trust in this

This was so helpful,I have gestational diabetes and I just went back to my keto basics and my sugars are more controlled and I haven't even seen my doctor yet,I got next week and I can't wait to show them that I can control my sugars with just diet change

Wow another honest caring Dr! Thank you Dr. Berg, I am a type one diabetic for 22 years following Dr. Bernstein diet and methods and my HbA1C drop from 7.8 to 4.9 in 3 months. I lost 20 lbs in that time. My insulin requirement drop nearly 80% only taking 2 small basal doses with 3 bolus for my 3 meals. I only eat 25g of carbs a day but only vegetables and non sweet fruit for vitamins and minerals. GI 10-15. Its incredible that most doctors recommend such high carb diets. My old ADA diet was 40g of carbs a meal and huge amounts of insulin. BG ranged from 350 to 30 after meals. Now my BG is at a steady 85 mg/dl like non diabetic. My usual highs are up to 110 and my lows at 65. Practically cure my diabetes with my own and small insulin doses.

I don’t have diabetes, I just follow Dr. Berg and learn a ton of great info. If there is a God, I hope God would bless Dr. Berg.

Thank God, for Dr. BERG, because GOD, IS GOING hold us for everything we do and say !!!

You are one of the few Doctors that I trust your teaching and your research. You make it very plain. I love watching the cooking show too. Thank you and your wife for changing lives including mine.

dear dr berg my name is Muna and I am African woman.. I will always keep watching your life saving videos. thank you so much

I pray for Dr. BERG AND DR. FUNG!! THEY ARE TELLING THE TRUTH!

I think that’s when you use the phrase ‘knowledge is power’!!

Excellent and wonderful information . Thank you DOCTOR ERIC.

You are right, Dr Berg. I’m type 2 diabetic and I’m disgusted with the meds that are not working. I’m starting keto and hope to reverse the disease.

Thank you so much 💕 God bless you

When I think about how I got to being type 2 diabetic, its shocking! My own habbits were the most distructive, since my love of sugar since childhood, and then lots of baking desserts after I became an adult, always was very thin until this caught up with me! I was oblivious to foods affects on my health. I just ate whatever I felt like since I was a kid. By the time I was 38 I was told I was borderline diabetic, then at age 50, I was diagnosed full blown type 2. They said the numbers changed on what used to be considered normal range. 🙀 oh my gosh I thought, what now? Plus a stomach hernia surgery at 47. So when I think of all the other influences that also led me down the not so perfect path, was weight watchers. I went to those meetings many years ago, but looking backwards into the looking glass, lol those old meetings use to tell us to eat whole wheat bread, and rice, and potatoes, and even small amounts of flour for cooking, and pasta. Lots of it. Basically, those meetings mainly said remove refined sugars. So no wonder weight lose did not happen. At least not enough to do any good. Iam now older, but its never too late to care about your health! Iam just starting keto dieting, into my 3rd week. I hope to stay on track with thing! 😂 My glucose number after a meal, now stays around 100, which beats 250 lolol I used to think I could eat sweets or whatever I felt like as long as I kept the calories around 500 a day. Well wrong! M n Ms arent exactly counting since they are loaded with sugar, so fitting stuff like that into my calories still was not keeping insulin resistance down. If anything it drove it up! Iam a tad bit late, but better late than never! 😂😂😂

Thank you Dr. Berg for all the information. I am just now beginning Keto I am at 204 my goal is 140. I am 55 years old and a year ago they told me that I was diabetic.

This video is focused more on what not to eat. I'd love to see other videos by Dr. Berg on what to eat if you're diabetic.

Dr Berg, my biggest barrier is cravings. I know what I should be doing but my cravings are intense and overpower my will.

No carbs! No sugars!

I have read that the best way to run a business, it to look for a NEED, and then provide a service to care for that need. They go a step further. They create the need with the diet, and then keep it going! Thank you, Dr. Berg, for all of your hard work! This video was great!

Omg dr berg u need to come and teach classes and do family interventions!!!!

Brilliant video. Very valuable information. ✌🏻👌🏼

I am a Diabetic Type 1 and I have an important question regarding intermittent fasting and keto diet, I would love an answer to this. I really would like to do IF and keto, but my question is: even reducing a lot insulin injections, or not doing them at all, for several reasons it is frequent, especially in very active persons like me that do a lot of endurance excercise, to have low blood sugar (even not doing any insulin at all because we don't produce glucagone either). When this happens the only thing to do to rise sugar levels in the blood is to eat sugar (or carbohydrates, but sugar act more fast), so my question is: since this happens pretty much every other day (even with no injections at all) how can I join keto and IF? I mean, eating sugar will interrupt IF (no big deal) but especially kick me out of keto. Is it possible to rise blood sugar quickly with any fat keto food source?

Thank you Dr. You are a real kind human. Stay blessed always Aameen

After taking a glucose test I realised I was prediabetic and I haven’t really felt very well for a long time but I am going to be doing what Dr Eric Berg recommends what a good man to be honest with us!

Think Dr Berg meant the ADA recommends 40 to 60g of carbs per meal not per day.

My a1c from 7.3 to 5.8 in 3month thanks GOD and still going keep. No pasta no suger no rice no white bread

Everybody should watch this video 💯

I've been low carb since Sept. /23 when diagnosed w Diabetes (6.6); Dec. /23 (6.1); Jan. 10/24 (5.8) In Dec. my dr. was so pissed off bc I wouldn't go on Metformin. I told her I was going to reverse my diabetes. She was really upset w me. She told me I was putting too much stress on myself. OMG. Now in Jan. the Dr. says I can't go any lower bc of my pancreas - whatever that means. I've not rec'd one positive comment from her. I told her my goal is 5.0. I will continue to eat mostly plant based and see what happens. If I can avoid drugs I will. I've reduced BP med and my BP is slowly falling. I've got about 50 lbs to lose and lost 20 so far but I'm determined I'll do it. Why do Dr. push so damn many pills - so frustrating!

Thanks Dr. Berg, as always Super Informative Video!!!!!!!!! YOU EXPLAIN IT SO BEAUTIFULLY WELL!!!!

Dr berg, your videos are so addicting to watch. Keep up the good work!!

needs more concrete examples

Dear Dr.Berg, if my conscience had a voice, it would be yours :) Thank you for keeping me informed and in the know.
