What do you think of Dr Eric berg? He is an expert on diet?

[Anonymous]

My husband says he understands the white bread thing but he can't give up Italian bread because he would rather not eat bread than eat whole grain bread.

He understands the white sugar corn syrup thing. He lost thirty pounds in 6 months cutting his white sugar corn syrup consumption down and has more energy.

But he uses Splenda in stuff. He thinks the fruit is bad thing is wild. Because fruit makes him feel good. He hates the peanut butter with oil at the top. Which I understand cuz that's 🤢.

Never heard of him but I took a quick glance.

The first thing I noticed is that he is selling stuff. That is an automatic red flag. Whenever someone claims to know some secret about nutrition or diet, AND they are selling stuff, it's a big red flag.

There are thousands of people out there claiming to know some health secret that the medical and scientific communities as a whole don't know. I won't say that the medical or scientific communities are always right, because they are not. But if a thousand people are saying one thing and one person is saying something different, I will lean toward believing the thousand until I have a reason not to.

This guy is not only selling stuff, it's very expensive stuff.

He's pushing keto. I have no problem with keto short term. It works for some people, so great! But long term, which he is pushing, becomes far more questionable. Keto is not a natural diet for humans. In other words, that's not the kind of diet that humans evolved into. Humans, and most other mammals get their energy from carbs. Keto might be a short term fix, but it shouldn't be considered a long term or permanent diet.

OK, so lots of people are pushing keto. But this guy is pushing HIS version of keto, which just happens to require you to buy his very expensive stuff. That should be a major red flag for everyone.

There's only one account on here that mentions this YouTuber. You don't have to post anonymously because everyone knows who you are.
Like I've told you the last few times you've posted about him...
He's not a real doctor.

If you like what he has to say, great. But the phony credentials destroy his credibility, and at the same time make you look like a fool

Dr. Eric Berg is a chiropractor, not a nutritionist or a dietician. His specialty in medical education primarily focused on muscular and skeletal anatomy, not necessarily proper nutrition and how your body processes certain foods. Your husband is right to doubt him, I would take any advice from a man like that with a grain of salt. I imagine a lot of what he says is just sensationalist junk to get you to buy his plans and supplements.

If you can gradually improve in many areas you can keep some things like the Italian bread. People still live to 70, 80, 90 with Italian bread and much worse foods and habits. Berg is telling you the optimal way, do the best you can with it.

I prefer to not get my nutrition advice from chiropractors 🤣
