There are some contradictory things he tells as compared to other doctors like Dr. Brad. One is not to eat carbohydrates at all. 🙄. That's highly disputed. Complex carbohydrates are necessary for good health (fruits with peel, beans, whole grains etc).
I notice if I eat an egg before bed it helps me and my stomach fat feels better. I don't do this routinely. I work late at times and I can't sleep when I'm hungry. So an egg is light to sleep on.
@@malaksafiakakar865 if that's the case lower your carbohydrate intake. Easy enough and perhaps exercise too. Eggs won't make you lose belly fat, it's the carbs and sugars that cause the weight gain. Triggers with insulin
The oldest woman in the world in 2017 (116 years old), the Italian Emma Morena said she ate 6 eggs every day since she was young, a doctor advised her to do so because she was suffering from anemia. She also ate very few vegetables and also raw ground meat.
@@terrymitchell6935 Eating raw meat in Europe is very common. The meat industry there doesn't have the issues it does in the US. Can you still get sick? In THEORY, yes, but there are a lot of things that can get you sick.
I’m living in Switzerland and I see lots of pastured chickens when I’m on my hikes in the countryside. Generally I’ll see approximately 100-300 chickens doing their thing out in the fields. I also noticed that many of these farms with pastured chickens also have a llama in the field with the chickens. I asked a farmer once, and she said llamas are very territorial and will chase off any would-be predators such as foxes. All of my eggs come from these types of farms. There’s a big difference between the eggs I now eat in Switzerland and the eggs I used to eat in the states.
Unfortunately for many of us, the current price of a carton of pasture raised eggs (12 cut) is almost $8.00 , some times it’s over $8.00 and my family eats the whole carton in 2 days 😓
@@lindah629 I live on the coast in SC , very close to a popular vacation spot where the cost of living is only getting higher , specially lately since a lot of people are moving from northern states , therefore wanting to eat only organic foods is , for a family like ours , a challenge . I sometimes go to the fresh market to buy some items including eggs but they’re only a few cents cheaper than at the store and it’s a 25 min drive from where I live whilst the store is just across the street . Anyways, good luck with the farm eggs 😊.

Been eating 2 or more eggs for breakfast every day since mid 1980s . Started with my interest in bodybuilding , when during the 1980s I was consuming up to 6 eggs a day. Although as a non competitive bodybuilder I perused the health benefits of it rather than getting into steroids which is often associated with the sport. There was a bodybuilder in the 1950s who advocated eating 36 , yes 36 ! Eggs a day by the name of Vince Gironde. He fully supported this throwing the cholesterol theory out by illustrating Eskimos eat fat from Carabou dear and still lived to a ripe old age and were devoid of heart attacks which was assumed by more western cultures. Heart attacks have been caused by high blood sugars caused by processed foods rather than animal fats which help you absorb vitamins A, D and E

You changed my life for better. This food did miracles for me. Thank you Sir.
I bake up sourdough twice a week now. Mmm so good with avocado I agree! I get up at 5am to get my starter going and enjoy a quiet morning with tea. Something spiritual about bread💚

I´ve been eating 3 eggs every single morning for a year now. I´m 33f. Everyone in my family keeps telling me I´m insane and ruining my cholesterol levels. Did a full cholesterol blood work yesterday and it came back perfect, even on the lower side. Well ok, I´m still young enough but if eggs were doing something bad, a year of daily eggs would still have done something? So yeah, I´m sticking to my 3 eggs. I also love this kind of breakfast.
Make sure to peel off the egg membrane (film layer between the egg shell and egg) and throw it in the pan with the eggs. It contains collagen which is good for your joints.
Hi Doc Eric, u re such an amazing guy, an embodiment of knowledge, neither selfish nor conservative... dishing out vital health information... bettering so many lives globally on a golden plater...You are the main man! Many thanks n God bless you.
What a kind and accurate description of Dr Berg. I tell everybody about him. Years ago and I mean like 10, 20 years ago, I told everyone about Dr David Williams healthy alternatives, I think it's called that. You can tell I haven't been active with him for a while. But Dr. Williams is still available and he has some great knowledge. I think what I like about Dr Berg is that he is 10 minute's Sam.. LOL 😁 he tells you so much important information in just 10 minutes or less and it's life-changing information.🤔🙋🏼
Doctor Berg is a hero listen to him. My grandma was recently diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. Her doctor told her for electrolytes to drink a Gatorade let that sink in. I was really depressed when I heard that. Nobody in our family Also wants to listen our advice which is also kind of depressing as now she needs really life-threatening surgery at 89 years old. Dr. Berg actually cares and gives you information to think with and do research on your own. He can actually save your life listen to him, I’m down 135 pounds. My mom is cured of weight and hair loss and my dad is diabetic free, all in 11 months.
I agree with you. Many MDs have a poor understanding of anything that does not relate to issuing a pill. I do wonder if the Gatorade comment was related to the Doc's idea of getting calories into the patient rather than the bigger picture of sugar is not a good calorie. Comes back to limited understanding of food by MDs.
@@SpamMouse He could have advised to drink ORS. The sugar-free one. It has sodium potassium chloride citrate in right amount. Otherwise simple coconut water will do the drink. It is rich in potassium other minerals. Why advise processed food? Coconut water is natural if it is available in your country.
We raise our own chickens and they free range on our land which we don’t spray. So we found out that one of our boys is allergic with chicken eggs and then we decided to get ducks 🦆 and he’s doing good with the duck eggs now. Ooh duck eggs also have loads of nutrients and less acid. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing videos.
Good to know. I don’t know anyone with egg allergies but I know where to get duck eggs. They’re expensive but may be worth buying once in awhile. Thanks
Dr Berg was just saying in this video that if you have egg allergies to eat the yolk and not the whites. He said that people are prone to allergy to the whites of the egg Maybe you could try it out on your son :-)
I've been raised in a small village, and there was a farm next to our house. Since I can remember, I always ate eggs, almost daily. My family and close friends always told me that it's bad for the liver. What's ironic is that they mostly eat white bread , baked goods and other sugary foods in the morning. I kept eating between 2 - 5 eggs a day. I'm 30, I'm in a good shape. Thanks Doctor.
I only eat eggs in an egg drop soup or baked into something. I’m pretty healthy. Maybe a lot of what they say about cholesterol is bullshit but my instinct is that too many eggs can’t be good for you.
I am so grateful 🙏 for you. You are teaching people how to be healthy! I eat about 4 eggs per day. We have 18 happy chickens that eat only healthy grains, clean sources of protein (like bugs) and organic veggie scraps. My cholesterol is eggselent (pun intended) and I'm 52 years old. My dad, however, was sternly WARNED by his cardiologist NOT to eat more than 2 eggs per week because they have "too much cholesterol". He has had 2 open heart surgeries. He won't listen to me about IF, cutting out carbs, etc. He'd rather listen to antiquated advice from his medical professionals, which is keeping him unhealthy in the 1st place.
I eat 3-5 eggs a day. Keto 2MAD 18:6 IF. Lost 18 kg in 3 months. Bone broth daily too for my aches and pains. Swimming warm pool 2-3 times a week. Keto saved my life.
@@fidelcatsro6948 I was 92 kg in 177 cm heigh. Now at 74 kg my BMI back to normal , clothes fit better, less joint aches. I am 40 yo. Thanks to low carb diets.
I was eating eggs every day. I've been having issues with my left ankle swelling by the end of the day. I accidentally stopped eating eggs for a few days and that issue went away. The weren't pasture raised eggs though, those are very expensive.
I'd be careful with eating 7+ eggs a day. There seems to be some debate in the medical community over whether egg consumption can contribute to high cholesterol. When was the last time you had your Cholesterol checked? If the answer is years ago or never then you might wanna get it looked at ......sooner rather than later
@@ANM21985 cholesterol is life, big part of your brain is cholesterol/fat. You can skip the myth good/bad cholesterol. Most people had no clue at all about cholesterol only a feeling. Egg is life.
@@ANM21985 I've eaten 7 to 8 every single day for over a year and a half. I just recently had my cholesterol checked and it was borderline perfect. My HDL was through the roof and was actually higher than my triglycerides by quite a bit My LDL was within the test's normal levels. So yeah, I ate seven everyday and my cholesterol improved. When you think about it it's kind of silly that people used to believe that eating things gave you more of that thing. I mean eating blood doesn't give you more blood, eating brains wouldn't make your brain bigger, so why would eating chicken egg cholesterol give you the same cholesterol that your own body makes? Think about what an egg is... It contains everything an animal needs to grow into an entire developed animal. How could that be bad to consume? It has the building blocks of life. I don't think there's a healthier food out there other than maybe milk.
Thanks Dr. Berg, love your videos, and your debunking allot of the health myths. My mom lived to 93, ate 2 over easy eggs very day. Raising my own chickens now, home grown are the best eggs!
@@Nobody-Nowhere how was his diet in general, did he exercise? Was he smoking? I think its important to see the big picture to make a reasonable conclusion.
I eat 2-3 (mostly 3) every day being the first thing I eat. However I do skip some days but watching your video makes me never want to skip a day of eating eggs again🥚🥚🥚. I'll really do my best 🌟 Thank you Dr Berg 😁
I am taking 3 to 4 whole eggs daily since 2 years almost. When I was on carbohydrates diet, no eggs my Triglysrides were 180 and after on low carbs diet including 3 to 4 whole eggs now my triglycerides are around 110. Thank you Sir Eric Berg.
I'm guessing your LDL Cholesterol level is well above the healthy 60-70 LDL range. Consuming cholesterol containing foods regularly throughout your life will cause you to exceed the healthy LDL range which will allow atherosclerosis to develop which will eventually cause coronary artery failure.
Glad you mentioned the raw Eggs. As a Teenager I would crack and drink about 2 to 4 in a Glass and never had a problem. When I got Married in my early twenties I stopped working out and over the Decades all I've heard is how bad they were. Now I'm about to be 61 and Weight Lifting again soooooo, gonna try em again.
@@jspella1477 Some people won't have raw because they're scared of salmonella. I was thinking back to when I was little and my brother and I used to copy Rocky because he drank an egg in his milk 😆 Should go back to doing that really.
Another great video. Just a FYI - avidin (anti-biotin compound) is in the whites NOT the yolk. Raw pastured egg yolks are amazing if you can trust the source 🙏🏻
I have 6 eggs every day. The great thing about having so many scrambled eggs is that they can be served with lots of other delicious food that is good for you like mushrooms, spinach, spring onions, salmon, etc
The people that have commented on your comment sound doubtful. But if you're up on any of the latest news about Alzheimer's and dementia you know that it builds up a plaque in the brain if you eat the regular American diet. (High Carb, High Sugar) But a low carb diet and a lot of fasting can really get rid of that plaque and reverse the damage Done if it has not gone too far. Do the research people it's out there, they're calling Alzheimer's diabetes 3.
See I really want to fast for 3-5 days to get rid of a rash. But the foods I love eating are eggs, avocado, blueberries and salmon. Love Dr. Berg! I make everyone watch your videos!
Hello, "Kimberly Leah"; Carbs control hunger, so a low carb/keto diet can help us fast. After I went keto I found that my hunger was much lessened. So I decided to try fasting, it turned out to be fairly easy *&* I lost more weight! I started because I have NA fatty liver disease & fasting is the best way to treat it. Today I'm down from 280lb/127kg to 181lb/82kg. Which, BTW, is the 1st day of a 3-day fast, as now I fast 3 days & feed 5 days. That works out to 140 days / year or 4.6 months of fasting. It is a huge reduction in cost & time. I highly recommend you try it, tho from your icon you don't need to lose weight. Have a GREAT day. Neighbor!
As long as you're at a healthy weight a daily 20 - 24 hour fast is all you need, with maybe the occasional 16 hour days as your body does need a break sometimes,
@@jackquinton9382 a daily 24 hours fast? Bro, you would end up dead. Or a daily 20 hours fast? Too much, I prefer a 3 day fast a month, and a couple 24 hours fasts
Dr Eric Berg/The team behind as well as always thank you for the contribution for our health education. I would like to ask which type of eggs would you recommend regarding species for example chicken duck turkey goose quail or any other exotic species Also what about fish eggs? I have done some general research on google but I would like to hear your take!! More than my google search!! Again thank you as always excellent information.
Dr Berg, you're always on point, thank you very much for all the work you put in to educate us all, it is very much appreciated. Eggs can be regarded as one of the most versatile foods ever. Eating eggs lead to elevating the levels of good cholesterol. Making poached eggs in water at home is yummy.
I started eating 2 eggs a day from last yr...and my eyesight improves from -1.25 myopic to -1.00 ....gonna continue eat let's see will it improve further....
Thank you for the topic on Eggs. To get the best benefits from the egg, what do you recommend on the best method to cook it; half-boiled, scrambled, sunny-side up, etc?
Very excited for your progress. 170 would be the perfect weight for me. I wouldn't want to go 1 lb below that. My bone structure would not maintain anything less. Can't wait till I can make the kind of progress you're making. What else do you eat besides the eggs 🍳🍳🍳🍳 surely you're having something else. Tell me about your success more extensively I need some encouragement and motivation. ☺️
@@tamitatangoto5134 I'm a vegetarian, so I do not eat any meat or fish. I basically gave up sugar, grains and seed oils. The only fruit I eat are blueberries and strawberries. The primary foods I eat on a daily basis are: eggs (w/grass fed butter), avocado (with nutritional yeast added), keto-friendly cereal w/almond milk (not great but not terrible), flaxseed crackers, romaine lettuce, small amount of carrots, cheese (from grass fed cows), walnuts, pecans, pistachios. For desert, I eat Dr. Berg's "bar" recipe: coconut flour, butter, sugar free chocolate chips, pecans, erythritol, vanilla extract. It's a very limited diet I know, but I'm generally not hungry, and I'm hoping I'm getting enough nutrients.

Question: Why do a lot of doctors disagree on so many things? I thought doctors study the same things when in school. One doctor will say this is good for you and some others will say it is not. What’s your thoughts on this? Doctors have really confused me, one say this another say that. HELP.
Our bodies are temples, the people who tell us to care for it believe various things. Especially on diet, because if they are a regular dr- they've had about an hour to maybe two focused on nutrition. Sadly our microbiomes and temples are as unique as a fingerprint. I've had great results with elemenitation diets bc of this to figure out what causes inflammation and issues. Many people for example can't have eggs, but is it bc they are grain fed birds that are full of glyosphate or bc the proteins are reactive to sick peoples poor gut health in breaking down the egg. The points in this video to consider seriously are bout vitamin A needing to be in a more bioavailable form from animal foods like liver or 3ggs, not so much carrots and kale.
It's a complex problem with variable answers. Dr Berg is not an MD so is not confined to the Standard Practice that is biased toward selling you drugs from big pharma, but can research a more holistic approach which IMHO is better for humans. Most MD and a 7 year course will get about 10 days on food. Your body - your choice.
@Brenda Brown that is so true. We can become confused. But now, I'm not. Listening to Dr. Berg has been a true Blessing from God. And now after all these years of trying this and that. I believe, I'm on the right track to becoming more healthy, feeling better, sleeping better. I've lost some extra weight, I've been trying to lose for years etc. 💖🌹🌞🌈🦋
Here in England I had raw eggs for 5 years and on the fateful day I had 4 (1 more than usual) in my milkshake, I got salmonella. After 3 hours of consuming the eggs, I went into the toilet not feeling well. I only emerged 4 days later after my body excreted every last morsel and drop of moisture top and bottom every 30minutes day and night. I got put on a drip at home and couldn’t eat for 23 days. The doctor who took my bloods said I had had a bad strain, and the last person he knew had the same, was a girl who weighed 8st when she got it and it killed her. Fortunately I had all my muscle mass to break down to feed off. Needless to say I’ve never had raw eggs since
Thanks for posting. That's why I advise people to always cook oysters before eating. If you think salmonella is bad, vibrio vulnificus in shellfish is even worse. Lucky that you survived.
I used to be allergic to egg yolks actually, but I just recently started eating egg yolks about 2 Months ago and I'm grateful to GOD. Eggs are so Healthy!
I started watching Dr. Berg since March last year after my doctor read my A1C and said that I was prediabetics. Since then I am doing IF 16-8 and A1C is good, didn't have to touch any diabetes pills or insulin. Yes I introduced his channel to all my friends and my family too. Thanks Dr. Berg for saving us time and money instead of regularly visit doctors and stuck with pills and bills 😋

You said people were allergic to egg whites and not the yokes. I could not eat over easy eggs or completely cooked whites and yokes runny. I would double over with stomach pain my whole life... I love over easy eggs... once in a while, I'd eat OE eggs and tuff it out because I love it. I was treated for egg yolk allergy through a holistic therapist. I'm now a true believer in holistic therapy and eat raw yolkes often and no stomach issues! Why was it I couldn't eat yolks???
2 eggs a day for nearly a year coincided with my HDL at 62 , which historically was in the 40s thanks to Salmonella worries, basically i didn't eat eggs for about a decade.....LDL was 112 and Triglycerides at 70.. So long story short, eggs were very beneficial in my individual case for helping raise HDL
Same with me. My HDL was always below 40 always. Doctor said it was genetic. I started eating 4 eggs almost every day and low and behold, my HDL is in the 50s now.
@@cyberfunk3793 The AMA released a study this year that said triglycerides, NOT cholesterol is the bad guy. You need to read the study. Your body uses cholesterol in almost all of it’s processes, you need cholesterol. If cholesterol was bad for you, your body wouldn’t manufacture it.
I remember when a coworker at the gym told me about the keto diet and I ended up eating bacon and eggs for every meal for about to weeks crazy how much energy I got from that.

@@cyberfunk3793 Read all the comments in the Dr. Berg videos. Hundreds of thousands of people are personally testifying about the health benefits of getting OFF the western chemical factory processed product based extreme carbohydrate and sugar riddled SAD diet. They are reporting about the high accuracy of Dr Berg's information and advice. It's likely the sources of your information about causes of "heart disease" are biased, tainted, false and misleading. Sad (shocking to realize) but true. We're all been there - deceived :(.
@@out_fur_blood In general it's by far the best way to eat (OMAD). Eating less frequently provides many health benefits. To manage it you have to get off the carb and sugar addiction, which means dropping the carb intake way down to less than 50g or 5% intake per day. Settle into that and sort out the new diet choices. Once there you won't feel on average nearly so hungry and feel no need to snack or eat too often. Make any dietary changes slowly. The body adapts to major changes but can take a little time. Most people have many months of calories stored as fat on their bodies, some have years stored up (but probably that fat is high on toxins and low on nutrients inc. minerals due the SAD diet). Once you've adapted and become metabolically flexible you'll seamlessly move between glucose and fat burning for fuel/energy, making your runs better and easier than ever before, with better duration. That may be too much running btw, unless you're an athlete and of young age. You need an actual healthy body including bone, mussel and joints to do that safely (without undue long term damage). Hope this helps.
Dr Berg’s eat-organic pasture-raised eggs is best advice ever! I’ve discovered an awesome recipe: sauté mushrooms in goat butter or pasture raised butter. Throw a slice of Canadian bacon down in the butter too, to brown a bit. Meanwhile toast one slice of Base Culture 7 nut&seed keto bread. Then small dab of fresh goat cheese. Then sprinkle nutritional yeast just before you remove mushrooms and Canadian bacon from pan. Slide everything out onto the toast, then crack and drop your eggs into this tasty butter. Flip over after a minute or so. Make sure you don’t over cook. Yolk should be liquid. Then put eggs on top of your mushrooms, goat cheese & keto toast mixture. Secret ingredient? Well since hollandaise sauce is just a combo of egg yolks, butter and lemon, I skip the whole sauce making process and just squeeze one-half fresh lemon onto my egg. Tastes like hollandaise sauce without all the work!
I have eaten a ton of pasture raised eggs for the past couple of years. I just found out through a food intolerance test that I have a high sensitivity to eggs. It is my understanding, that it may have been caused because I eat so many. I now have to cut out of diet for a couple of months and test to see if I can put them back in. Just something for folks to be aware of.
I eat a minimum of 4 everyday. I’m working on my last 10lbs. I’ve reached a goal of 18:6 eating twice a day, no carbs or sugar. I’ve never been healthier. However, there’s been a few times where my body was screaming for sugar, I eat a small amount of dark chocolate when this happens.
My overall health has improved dramatically since i switched to keto (dirty keto) and one of my main daily proteins now are eggs. So thank you for steering me in right direction Dr Berg!
It's encouraging to hear that being an egghead is not a bad thing. 😄 I've been having 5 over-easy eggs with a plate of spinach and avocado as my first meal for about nine months. I've noticed surprising improvement in memory, vision/eye stamina, and skin complexion/hydration. Amazing how the body heals itself when its nourished properly.
Good Morning. , Dr.Berg 🍎 I eat eggs almost everyday , Thank you so for sharing this Helpful information with everyone . God richly bless you all , Have a wonderful day ! 💜 9 / 14 / 2022 💜
I started eating egg samwiches with onion every day and I did this for several years and eggs and onions became very toxic to me , it got so bad that just a small peice of an onion would make it almost inpossible to breathe , I think it might be a sulpher buildup that caused this issue , I noticed alot of the cheaper eggs in the stores have a bad sulpher like smell that cant be good .
I’ve been an RN for many years, retired now. (We were the hard working kind , not the dancing in the halls kind). My patient was to be discharged, while in my patient’s room I overheard the dietician instruct the patient, that she should eat the fake egg, not a real egg. I asked her why she should eat this manufactured product, she replied that it had increased protein less fat….blah blah blah. Of course I offered my patient my opinion on this, as she was leaving. This was many years ago. I had never heard of such a thing, I was raised on a farm myself.
I am not being mean but curious where did you hear washing eggs in salt water removes bacteria? Store bought or your own chickens eggs? I cant find one thing about washing eggs in salt lol.
According to the USDA, there are federal regulations that require the washing of all commercially produced eggs. The process removes a natural protective coating called a “bloom” or a “cuticle” from the surface of the egg. Once the egg has been washed, a film of edible mineral oil gets applied to the surface of the egg. That film is there to keep any bacteria from penetrating it and potentially contaminating the egg. Even with that knowledge, though, you still might feel inclined to give the eggs another quick wash-after all, that egg’s made its way from a farm to a carton that’s sat on a grocery shelf and in a shopping bag. But the USDA and nutritionists alike say that washing the eggs is not necessary-and can actually further bacteria. “If you wash an egg before you cook it, because its shell is porous, the water…can push bacteria into the egg,” Because the shell is so porous, you’re pushing it back through the surface of the egg. And that poses a far bigger risk of contaminating the part of the egg that you’re actually going to eat.
I see comments from people saying they get their eggs from a local friend, neighbor, or farm. That doesn't always mean better so still find out what they are being fed. I have a friend that has her own chickens and I witness first hand what she was feeding her chickens. The chickens were free to roam outside but she was feeding them alot of table food from her meals and she fed them a chicken feed product. I researched the product and it had many unhealthy ingredients. So before you get to excited about friends, neighbors, and local framers eggs just ensure you do a little research on what they are feeding their chickens.
Back in my bodybuilding days, I was drinking a liquid amino muscle formula: UNTIL a new website popped up that gave you breakdowns on all foods. I found out that the formula was almost IDENTICAL to egg whites! Dr. Berg is my wife's and I go-to health Bible (62 & 69 yrs old)!
Hi, Dr. Berg - My nephew is allergic to eggs and has been his whole life. When I noted to him that allergies to eggs come from the whites and not the yolks, as mentioned in your video, here is what he responded to me, and I would like to know if you have any additional understanding or research to point to your statement …”You can be allergic to both! The whites are the more common allergy cause of the proteins in it but I am allergic to the whole dang thing.”
An excellent video. My wife and I love eggs, especially Vital Farms organic eggs. I eat a minimum of 4 eggs a day and, sometimes, when I want to eat dinner (which I usually skip), I'll have another 2-4 eggs.
I get so eggcited when my alarm sounds, bc I know I'm about to cook an eggcellent breakfast! I have three eggs, sunny side up, with toast. Thanks for eggsplaining the benefits Dr. Berg. You're eggstroadinary. Phew, I'm eggshausted. 🤣
When I was younger, one of my favorite meals consisted of an egg yolk mixed into steamed white rice, with a little bit of salt. It was so yummy. We didn’t know about salmonella back then. Who knows, maybe eggs weren’t as contaminated back in the ‘80s. 😬
I don't know at what temperature salmonella is destroyed but I've heard that putting an egg yolk in hot coffee is okay. Maybe the hot rice worked the same way.
Risk of salmonella is general is very low and even less if you buy pasteurized eggs. It is found in the shell as well so raw egg yolk is very low risk.
@@emergingyeti3496 Thanks. I’m glad to hear that the risks are low. The simple meal of egg yolk mixed with steamed white rice and a little salt is so yummy.

Hi! Hoping you can answer my question! I went no eggs for almost a year. Now everytime I decide to have one or two in the morning .. I am seriously EXHAUSTED. Why is this? I am early stages of keto but have noticed this the two times I have had them in two weeks
I was allergic to eggs when I was younger. I would develop rashes in the crook of my arm and behind my knees. . What my mom did was give me a small bit of scrambled eggs everyday, amount increasing every month, until my body got used to it. I can now eat 3 eggs a day.
Hi Dr. Berg. I clicked on to this today as i recently read an article comparing potatoes and eggs as how they relate to skin cancer. It was interesting article however eventually inconclusive. I’m currently reading about copper and how that may help. I am 53, grew up in hawaii and I have red hair. Iv had 6 basal cells in last 5 years and i think i currently have 3 or 4. I consider myself pretty healthy and hide from the sun but i think the damage is already done. Just wondering if you could do more videos on skin cancer. Or if you could share any thoughts with me here. Thank you so much.
Eggs are good, but eating them every single day isn’t necessarily good advice for everyone. I used to eat multiple eggs every single day and eventually my bad cholesterol got high. I wasn’t sure what it was but I knew egg yolk is high in cholesterol, so I decided to try to stop eating eggs as much. The next time I got blood work done, my ldl cholesterol was normal again, and years later it’s still that way. (I want to add that I wasn’t eating a lot of red meat or anything like that either). So yeah, eggs are healthy, but if you’re like me and you body is really good at making and keeping cholesterol, don’t eat multiple eggs a day, or you might see yours get higher.
This is great, thankyou!!! There's so much misinformation out there about eggs, especially having to do with cholesterol. Alot of so called experts out there claim eggs raise cholesterol. Thankfully you've explained it all right here.
My sister is a dietician, who thinks that me eating 3-4 eggs for breakfast each day is excessive. I told her that my bad cholesterol went down when I started eating more eggs, and that my weight and overall health is excellent (6' tall, 170 lbs.) My hope is that she will see the results, and adjust her perception accordingly.
Roxtar69, stop eating eggs or any foods containing cholesterol. Eating cholesterol containing foods with any amount of regularity will cause your LDL Cholesterol to exceed the healthy range of 60-70 LDL where atherosclerosis can occur.
In your videos about the benefits of eggs it seems that you always display fried eggs. Is this deliberate? Or are eggs prepared in other ways (boiled, deviled, etc.) just as beneficial. Thank you for all the great info you provide.
I remember a time eggs were considered bad for your health. It was said that at the time you should limit your egg intake to maybe no more than a couple per week
Yep and same thing with red meat... now look what they're trying to do with the farming industry in the world... connect the 2.. The people in charge want us to fail and have complete control. Shitty food = shitty mind.
I remember that, too---but my mother was a woman who had raised chickens as a child, and for whose family they were often the easiest and most affordable protein. Mom always wanted to know everything about everything, so she studied chickens, the various nutrients in the eggs, etc., and she knew that they were the perfect food for her growing family. She immediately shut all that nonsense down when people at our then-church would get all uptight about the deviled eggs at potluck dinners, and the eggs used to bake cakes, etc. She was a very intelligent woman who didn't let "science" dictate what her own thinking was! I'm nowhere near as smart as Mom was, but I did listen to her, and I do listen to Dr. Berg (and to Dr. Ken Berry), so eggs are an integral part of my "keto-carni" diet!!
Yep, the 80's and 90's. Some Dr's still today believe they are bad for you. It's the way they are taught in med school via the Rockefeller allopathic big pharma ciricullum.
I mostly stopped eating eggs because I was worried that i'd get high cholesterol. Because I was eating liek 4 eggs at a time, and drink lots of milk and stuff that also has cholesterol. Is interesting that you are saying they arent a cholesterol risk. Guess I need to look into it further.
