Are eggs healthy, or not? Let’s talk about what would happen if eggs were your only protein source.
In six clinical studies, it was found that eggs were not associated with heart disease in healthy people. I believe that if you had to rely on eggs as your only source of protein-you would be much healthier.
Eggs are high in cholesterol but also contain lecithin, choline, and vitamin B3, which help combat cholesterol.
Eggs are the best source of protein other than breast milk. Just one egg has seven grams of high-quality protein and is packed full of nutrients. Eggs also have a complete amino acid profile, and the nutrients and amino acids have high bioavailability.
Eggs are a unique source of protein because they’re not just muscle protein-they have a lot of additional factors to support your health. They even have potential anticancer effects and immunomodulation effects.
Eggs contain important nutrients, such as:
• Vitamins A, D, E, K1, and K2
• B vitamins
• Omega-3 fatty acid
• Sphingomyelin (helps prevents plaquing in the arteries)
• Choline (helps prevent a fatty liver, supports the brain, and helps combat high cholesterol)
• Lutein and zeaxanthin (supports the eyes)
• Phospholipids (helps reduce inflammation and helps build cell membranes)
• Essential nutrients for repair, muscle building, and helping to prevent sarcopenia
Don’t just consume egg whites. Egg yolks actually have more protein than egg whites, and the yolks contain essential nutrients.
Depending on your size, age, and how much muscle you have, you may want to consume two to four whole eggs to satisfy your body’s nutrient requirements.

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps increase your awareness of the best protein source: eggs. I’ll see you in the next video.
My grandmother grew up eating eggs from seagulls. It was a free source of protein where she grew up on a remote island. She continued eating them the rest of her life. She lived to a 104 yo.
Amazing!
Wow! What island did your grandmother grow up on?
@@LifeInTheSunshine A tiny island in northern Norway, near the Russian border. There were only two families living there, and they lived off of what they could source from nature (meat from reindeer and all kinds of fish from the ocean, in addition to eggs).
Interesting!
@@packer812 Wow
I saw the oldest woman alive at one time, an Italian, she was 117 years old. She said: she retired from the factory at age 65 and moved out to the country but she was poor, but the farmer she rented from with let her have all the eggs she could eat and she said that's the only thing she ate. So from age 65 to 117 she lived exclusively on eggs.
Wow. Thanks for sharing.
Really interesting

Fascinating stuff! Thanks for passing that on.
Been eating 3 eggs and bacon every morning since May and my triglycerides went from 414 to 96, Hdl 50, LDL down to 160, total cholesterol at 231
Raise your own hens, feed them a cheap-but-healthy diet & be AMAZED at the quality of eggs they lay. The yolks aren't yellow, but, instead are a dark orange. It's crazy!
My wife’s family is from Ecuador. To this day the majority of their food comes from their backyards. Their primary source of protein is organic eggs from the chickens they raise. They typically eat 4 whole eggs per day. The majority of her family members live to 100+ years. Good video
Eggs from your own chickens are so much better than store bought especially if you take care of the chickens well and feed them corn meal. Brown taste better than white imo.
Sure they do. Meanwhile in reality we see a clear increase in all cause mortality from heart disease and cancer from those that eat a lot of eggs and other animal proteins.

Our findings suggest limiting cholesterol intake and replacing whole eggs with egg whites/substitutes or other alternative protein sources for facilitating cardiovascular health and long-term survival."

Have been on meat only diet for about 5 weeks now. Eat a lot of eggs too. Have had Ankylosing spondilitis for about twenty year now. within thirty days disease activity reduced by about 75 per cent. Never coming off the diet.
Its not meat only then
Any updates ?
The beautiful thing about your studies is that; they are never outdated. 👏
My Grandmother lived to 106. She really didn’t have any serious health issues ie: cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular or blood pressure. Many times when I went to see her she would be eating eggs. I teased her about her egg addiction to which she responded “I love eggs”

Dr. Berg, we have twenty chickens at our farm in upstate NY. I'm 57 years old, eat on an OMAD program, with about two 48-hour fasts per month, and eat at least 15 eggs a week. Today, I can say, I'm in the best shape of my life because of your amazing lectures. Thank you so much. I have gotten my brother turned on to your channel, and he's lost 35 lbs. in the past four months. You are a life-changing superstar!!
You can eat 60 eggs per month
@@universalinformation572 I eat 4 a day or 28 a week is that bad?

Second that. Thanks doc.
Thank you for preaching the truth about observational studies. I have been talking about this for years.
I'm 59 years old and back in 1985 I moved in with my girlfriend who was a fit healthy sporty living person like myself. We ate a "balanced" diet very little fast food but my girlfriend used to criticized me for my daily breakfast of 3 soft boiled eggs with multi grain toast and coffee saying you are going to end up with high cholesterol. After a while her constant criticism got me pissed off so I said how about we both get our levels checked as we were only a year different in age around 26 years old. My cholesterol was well below average and hers was well above average and I had been eating eggs for years and still do to this day.
Lol way to go!
Also, if a person has hens, the eggs could last 3 weeks WITHOUT refrigeration ...UNLESS you get them WET. Even in hot weather
Good News about your Cholesterol... What happened with the girlfriend?
Did you break up with your girlfriend?
Do you remember how she reacted ❓
If you think about it, an egg contains everything that is needed to create a living creature (except oxygen). Meaning it contains almost everything a body needs. The shell of the egg is designed in such a way that it lets oxygen enter, and the co2 escape, but not the other way around. That an egg contains everything is a pretty strong indicator you should include it often in your diet.
Yes, that’s how wonderful nature is.
I didn't know that about the air flow. Thanks for the information!
Exactly!
@@experimenthealthyketo83 That's how wonderful God is. :)
Finally, someone with a common sense. But no, eggs are bad for you. You will die if you eat more than 2 whole eggs a week. xD
Thank you very much, Dr. Berg ,for sharing and teaching us such good información about health and nutrition
Thank you Dr. This confirmation is needed!💪🏾💪🏾
No problem. Happy to share this info.
My uncle looks so young for being 75. He speaks with so much enthusiasm and energy. I asked him what does he eat everyday. He started by saying two eggs every single morning.

I ate 20 eggs a day for six months and was lifting heavy (no cardio). I went for a blood test afterwards and found that I had extremely low LDL levels and elevated HDL levels. The doctor was shocked when I told her what I was eating and told me that this should not be possible. I told her that perhaps it's time you restructure your thought process around eggs. Edit: please go through the comments for more information related to this, as I won't be replying to further queries. Additionally, it's fascinating that people think 20 eggs is a lot. In India, eggs are the cheapest source of protein available. It's quite common for gym goers here to eat that many eggs just for breakfast.
Don't lie.
@@ARC-FRAGOHOLIC You are free to believe whatever you want :) Or better yet, try and see for yourself.
What else do you usually eat on a day besides the 20 eggs?
Had a friend so something similar (15 a day) and just had coffee and water. Lost 80 lb in a year and blood markers were all perfect. Keep killing it bro!
How many whole eggs??
I was researching a good source of calcium for my pup . I came across an article that said about eggs , but not just the egg but also the eggshells. Also can be used by humans which I’d never heard before. Apparently the tests done on it 13% of elderly suffering with osteoporosis had increased the density of their bones .
Good stuff. I've been sounding this info for over a decade. Thank you!!
I have ulcerative colitis. If I eat a whole steak for dinner or too much meat I start to get stomach pain that lasts for a day or 2. But not when I eat eggs. I've tested this and I can eat eggs everyday and they never bother my stomach. I just thought I would share my story for anyone who has similar problems.
Deworm yourself. And avoid allopathic "doctors".
I can’t eat beef either. I eat fish mostly and eggs.

I thoroughly enjoy your videos! Thanks for sharing them.
Glad to hear that! You're welcome.
Dr Berg, I just love your videos and I would like to just say thank you for these.
A light clicked on for me a few years ago when I had a realization. A fertilized egg will, with no other inputs, eventually turn into a fully functioning living creature. In order to become a chicken, it MUST NECESSARILY already contain EVERYTHING that is in a healthy chicken. By definition, it is a complete source for all required nutrients for animal life. The egg is the most perfect food in the world.
@@xnoreq Wow you missed the point and put a lot of words in his mouth he didn't say. Learn to read between the lines and don't take everything so literally.
From what I've seen eggs are very deficient in niacin. So no, it's not a complete food.
@@xnoreq You glossed over one very very important fact: ChubbyNinja is a chicken.
Raw Milk is best for children and Raw meat is best food for adults. Eggs are good but ditch the white and just eat Yolks raw.
I think he is saying if a chicken is a good food source with many nutrients the egg which the chicken will become is also a good food source. In my opinion probably better since it is the source of the chicken.
Bout time someone had the guts to actually give people the truth instead of trying to “join the club”. Thanks Dr Berg.

This was very interesting and a relief to know. Thank you for sharing
You're most welcome.
My grandmother ate a soft boiled egg every day, plus bacon fat at room temperature, spread like butter on a German biscuit with chives and pepper. She smoked two cigarettes per day (after breakfast and one mid day), had a shot of Enzian schnapps once or twice per week and walked 2 miles round trip every morning, up until her last few days of life. She died in her sleep. She lived to be 96 years old. That’s how I want to go out.
Omg my grandfather was just like this... very very similar routine lol. He lived to 98
Schnapps isn't made from grain. That's part of it

Thank you for this. I've been eating eggs daily for a while now and haven't had any of the supposed health issues I should be experiencing. In fact I've noticed a significant improvement in my overall energy and digestive track since I started eating them daily. Not to mention they are fun to cook with and are delicious.
Just wish there were more doctors like you. Honest, upfront and who actually care for people's health and wellbeing. Thank you so much 🙏💕💕

@@heavenlygrandma9992 true its so sad 😞
@@goddess.110 It is. It all started back with Rockefeller when he infiltrated the medical schools who taught natural remedies and started the witch hunt on chiropractors and natural remedy doctors to push his petrol drugs. Nature works with nature and synthetic drugs work against nature. Pharmaceuticals do not cure, they only suppress symptoms. Things like antibiotics kill what they are supposed to kill, but also kill off the good bacteria. But in the end, they do more harm than good.

I was plant based for 4 years and I was in great shape, did not lack protein or anything else, however I did notice change in skin, hair and nails (for the worse) which leg me to believe that even though my blood work was ok something was missing. I did also realize that the push for veganism is part of the let's go green initiative. So we are supposed to eat plants, drink out of stainless steel straws, drive electric cars, while the elite who is telling us to do this is traveling around the world on their private jets, big yachts, eating steak for dinner and building huge houses with green grass and large pools. Rules for me but not for thee. So I went back to a normal diet and adding intermittent fasting was the other best thing I could do. Edit: just a follow up on the original post. Shortly after writing it I gathered all of my previously done tests ( blood work, body analysis etc), decided to redo them just a couple weeks after switching back to eating what was normal for me, and now about a year later I decided to do them again. What most surprised me is the fact that even though my weight did not go up, my muscle mass and body fat percentage varied significantly. And I mean that. By the time I redid my tests the first time which was a few years into a plant based diet, I found myself having lost 17 lbs of muscle mass. For those who don't know, it's normal to lose about 1% muscle mass every year, usually after the age of fifty. I was not that age, and 17 lbs were about 15% of my weight in just a few years. My body fat percentage went up from 20 to 36 percent. From just a diet change. That was unbelievable eye-opening to me and I am of the opinion that one should live however they choose, but obviously this was not the right choice for me. So I waited about a month after I started eating normal again (simple and clean; animal protein, vegetabled, fruits and without any exercise) to redo the tests and just from that diet change I gained 5lbs of muscle and decreased my body fat percentage but 4%. I was literally wasting away despite being very conscious about what and how much (plant protein, calories, supplements etc) I ate. On the outside things seemed ok but the inside (and the skin, nails and hair) was telling me something different. After a year I am back to my normal, my hair is shiny again, the leathery skin is becoming more elastic and brighter looking and my nails have lost all the weird lines. I would say I am looking much healthier then before so something must be going right for me. To each their own. And don't let politics keep you away from good people 😁

I've been eating pasture- raised eggs for many years and have great cholesterol numbers. I'm 57. I've had vegans try and tell me how bad they are for you but how could something with so many nutrients not be great for you. I've always considered them a superfood! Thanks for confirming. 👍
Good job. Keep up the good work!
That's because they are. The only food that even comes CLOSE to eggs is beef liver; 6 good-quality eggs (I love Eggland's Best!) have as much or more of nearly ALL nutrients as liver does, and if less, it's still already reached optimal levels. Now multiply that several times over and it becomes clear that you could eat nothing but eggs and survive longer than 99% of people on the planet.
It's really sickening that conventional doctors and big pharma's know that eggs are good for you but warn you away from it so they can capitalise from your ill health! Dr Berg, thank you!!
Thanks for the honesty. Your a good doctor
No problem. Glad to share this.
I have my own laying hens that are outside all day and have access to an unlimited area. I love eggs and eat 6 to 8 of their eggs per day and still feel great.

My grandparents lived to 98. They had a farm and ate all the fat on meats, raw milk, eggs, cheese, olive oil only, glass of wine a day etc and almost everything they grew themselves and a glass of fire water (aguardente) in the morning because of the extreme cold in winter and they did not have the health issues associated with a modern diet as per the experts. Makes you think!!!. keep it natural as much as possible.
I think that maybe it's not about food. I think previous generations were healthier in general, because they moved more and because there was a high mortality among children. Weak organisms just died young.
Olive oil, Glass of wine, Aguardente.. I know a Portuguese diet when i see one.

Wow 🤩 this news need to spread. Thank you so much for sharing.
Key thing to remember and understand is that, its not the eggs, meats ect,. that give you the heart attacks, strokes ect,. its eating those with sugar. When you eat such foods with sugar in any form then glycation occurs, google that word so you get a more in depth idea of what its about. But glycation in general terms is when sugar molecules when in the presence of protein/cholesterol binds to protein and makes protein nonfunctional, then you have a sticky glob floating around in you that gets stuck on things, and creating situations that resemble heart attacks, and strokes, ect,. Eat proteins on their own, eat it with greens, but never with sugar!

This video is related to the "chicken" video you linked in the end... And both in turn are also related to the topic you adressed in the "Do Not Eat Chicken Again, Until You Watch This..." video... Namely, the eggs nutrition value is highly affected on whether the hen is in a Cage, Cage free or Free Range and Outside... Indoor eggs are bleak, less tasteful and lower in nutrients. Outdoor free eggs are warm, colorful, tastes a lot and high value nutrient.
A US POW in Korea was fed nothing but eggs in captivity for three years. He was saying that even though he was basically in a cage with no room for exercise, he never felt fitter in his life and continued to eat eggs when he was returned to the US.

My favorite way to enjoy eggs is to mix 4 eggs up with some cracked pepper, black pepper, a little salt, and about two large spoons of maple syrup. I then fry it up like a large omelette. I'm concerned that I'm not getting much benefit from it, but I enjoy the taste like 10x more than fixing eggs any other way. Should I be concerned about the added sugar from the maple syrup? (real maple syrup btw, as it only has one ingredient listed on the bottle).
The real question here is why they want us eating things that are bad for health, and not eating healthy food. For breakfast I generally have two hard boiled eggs, olives, almonds, and aged cheddar. It fills me up and my digestion issues went away.
Yep. About the politically bent lies - I remember my high school “health” teacher (who was also obese) saying not to eat more than a couple eggs per WEEK. 🤦🏻♀️🙄 My key take away from this video is: get more chickens. 😃
Lol yes! And quails!
Yea! and ducks!
Ohhh, the irony...
Factory Farmed eggs are terrible for all
My father ate eggs every morning for breakfast and lived to be 91.
As someone with IBS I can attest to the idea that eggs are great for digestion. Ever since I've been eating eggs for every breakfast, my bowels feel amazing until the afternoon when I have my second meal. They fill me up for 6 hours too. No other food has that effect on me.
How do you personally cook them and yolk runny or hard?
@@krayziejerry First I bake the low fat bacon and cheese (and kale or spinach) in a pan. When the cheese melts, I add the eggs. I poke the yolks and mix them in the whites and let everything fry a couple of minutes until the omelette is hard enough to flip after which I turn off the fire and let it fry on the other side for another minute. So I guess the yolk is hard.
@@Roel93 that sounds good
try buckwheat
Your bowels are sublime and simply eggnificent. Coupled with a few slices of bacon your bowels would become a portal to the divine.
This is interesting because precious years I have gotten into the gym and failed because of no to little results ( I had not clue what I was doing anyways). Current day getting back into fitness I consume a lot of eggs and I have noticed a lot of mass gains and better recoveries after a good workout
As always, Doctor, thank you for your great presentation and knowledge. Each month from your other docos about nutrition, I have been having 3 boiled eggs every morning in 2 out of 3 weeks, and at 79, except for some back injuries, I feel great.
Thank you for this very important information, Doc. 👍
You're welcome! Glad you found it useful!
I used to eat 4-6 eggs a day as my main protein. I felt fantastic and was super fit surfing 4 hours per day and working in between..
WHY ? just why??? WHYYYYYYY ??!!!
Inquiring minds want to know!
@@johnsergie3906 To be honest, I started eating meat after being vegetarian for 7 years. Only because I worked next to a Sushi place and the gave us free meal each shift. They got me with the Teryaki Salmon etc So i still eat lots of eggs, I just now have salmon, beef aswell.
I ate 6 to 12 eggs a day for over a year. After a lipid panel my total cholesterol was a bit high but my HDL was 90 and my triglycerides were normal. These 2 indicators are FAR more important health markers. Every cell wall in your body is made from cholesterol and most of that is made by your body and is not derived from your diet.
Cell wall?
@@benavid19 cell wall is the membrane that keeps cells together, think of it like a cell's skin.
@@keepmoving7501 lmaoooooo human cells don't have cell walls. That's plants. They have a phospholipid bilayer plasma membrane
My mother also ate an insane amount of eggs every day and had the same results as you. When i get a little terrain i must have a bunch of chickens, eggs are great.
I eat 6 to 8 eggs but only 2 or 3 yolks per day.
🎉 thanks doc. Very informative.
What is your rating or comparison between Organic Eggs and Farm Eggs, considering that the feed given to farm chickens differs significantly from that of organic chickens?
The notion of only having 2 eggs is connected to WW2 rationing where people got either a single egg or perhaps 2. It's cultural conditioning. In countries without war rationing they always eat more eggs per serving today. Added to that the decades of marketing lies which demonised eggs, many people think that 2 eggs is maximum. Eat as many eggs as you want. We need to eat more eggs.
I could never be bored eating eggs. So many recipes out there. My favorite is Turkish cilibir. Then huevos rancheros, Italian style, Greek style, eggs benedict, Korean grandma toast, eggs on salads, egg salad...never ending
@@cynthiakeller5954 Try eating your eggs without toast or bread. You might be surprised what you find. Cheers :-)
@@adelarsen9776 TY! Love them!
@@cynthiakeller5954 Eggs rule 🙂They are natures super food.
During the 70s through 80s the federal Government told the public that Bacon, eggs and butter was extremely bad for us and that bran muffins was best. While they kept eating it themselves. Decades later the world saw that they'd lied
70's started the confusion on many levels.....
The 1970's demonization of all fats was horrifying. It was all based on the *wrong* theories of one of history's greatest quacks, one Dr. Keys. Sadly, Keys' lies exist to this very day. Watch 1970's commercials on youtube and you will see just how bad it was.
@@terywetherlow7970 Yes, massive evil.
So sad and paid by taxpayers…
I remember my aunt and uncle bragging about how healthy margarine was and buying that liquid egg whites that you pour out of a carton. They also ate scrapple, the breakfast meat from Philadelphia.
You are amazing! Thank you for giving me back my life.
I am so happy to hear this! I love eggs. There are so many ways to make them, they are fast and easy and match so many other dishes. 😊
Thank you Dr. Berg. I surely believe it, since I've been eating 2 or 3 organic eggs a day for more than 10 years now. I've never got sick so far and no medication. My doctor says l'm so healthy as my blood presure is always normal, 110/80 and my triglyceride is 61.
How... if I may ask, what is your age please?
Me too, same as you, and I am 69 Years old.
You believe it based on your personal experience. So, you believe that observational study leads to fact findings. Funny, it happens he touches on that in this video.
@@youniqueboutique2134??? It works for him. Nothing can prove him otherwise. If I have personal experience with my own body, I don't give a damn about some study saying it's bad
Good news I can live from eggs
My grandpa lived to be 97 he eat 4 eggs a day . He was a life long farmer and cattle man . He worked everyday up to his late 80’s. My aunts switched him to a low fat diet and I feel that lead to his health issues .
Yeah it’s sad how far behind and bad most doctors and medical texts are. I find it funny how in my field IT your knowledge needs to be updated almost daily. Where as doctors operating on old info or maybe it old enough info 😂 is the norm
@@Larimuss Need to keep people dependent on drugs you know, cant have ppl getting healthy, bad for buisness
@@ivr9407 yeah that’s for sure. I mean look at all the stuff they recommend for hearth problems. From some theory 50 years ago that was proven wrong in verified studies.
I feel like being 97 lead to health issues
Yes with the really elderly its not good to mess with their program, still 97 is a blessed run.
Great video, thank you!
Glad you liked it. Please feel free to reach out if you have questions or want to see other videos in the future.
I’ve eaten eggs all my life and always ignored all the rubbish about them sometimes 20 a day back in the day when lifting a lot 💪 these days still 4 a day and I’m a lean machine nothing wrong here ❤️ 👑
Being a long time nutrition and health researcher myself i'd like to add to this, that anytime you eat foods that have high cholesterol you body lowers its own. What makes cholesterol bad in general terms is eating eggs, meats, any protein for that matter with just about any form of sugar. When you eat eggs and other proteins in whats called a mono diet that is not eating a goulash of a meal, eating foods on their own without mixing them, eating such proteins with sugar causes whats called Glycation to occur, you can google that word but basically glycation is when sugar molecules if in the presence of protein will bind and attach themselves to protein and make them nonfunctional. This creates alot of havoc and situations in your blood, you end up with a tangled mess floating through your system which creates and enables other things to happen such as unnatural high cholesterol, inflammation, strokes, heart attacks, even cancer in some instances, ect,. Glycation is inevitable at some level part of life but what makes it harmful is the constant consumption of sugars and including such concentrated sugars as high fructose corn syrups, eating eggs, and proteins with orange juice, any juice for that matter. What the media isn't telling you is that sugar is the real enemy and culprit of most diseases, of course that doesn't mean cut out sugar and be sedentary all your life, it means if your going to eat something with sugar in it, make it from an organic natural source but dont eat alot of it, and dont eat it with protein. You'll never see wild carnivores or even scavengers in the wild eating meat with a side order of juice or pop, seriously people, we are still an animal species. Another interesting fact is your brain requires cholesterol, one type of cholesterol aka DHA or Docosahexaenoic acid which be supplemented with or acquired from foods such as fish, and seafood is a great source of omega 3 fatty acids. Did you know that your brain is made up of fat ... yes, and 1 fraction of it is made up of DHA, i quote: "DHA makes up over 90% of the n-3 PUFAs in the brain and 10%-20% of its total lipids. DHA is especially concentrated in the gray matter" Pretty amazing stuff, so that is to say that eating healthy is important and understanding what your eating and how to eat it is also important, our culture has taught us how not to eat properly, but we are learning. The best thing you can do for yourself is research, learn, study these things, dont take things at face value or what others say but do your own research. Lastly on sugar again, sugar isn't what you think it is in an organic natural state like from an apple sugar comes with an enzyme called amylase, if amylase is not present in what your eating or drinking whatever form of sugar or included sugar, then sugar is not going to be digested, and or processed, assimilated properly. Sugar on another level forming glucose in the body is a very poor source of energy, you can burn through your glycogen quickly, eat protein and natural organic fats with your meal and you will eat less and feel more satiated, on sugar you will be hungry more often. Hope that wasn't to much. Cheers!
Thanks for the long informative post. So, if someone takes sugar in tea, it will not be digested and absorbed into the blood stream , because of the lak of amylase ? Did I deduce it right ?
when you say sugar, you mean all kinds of carbohidrates or simple carbs or what exactly? fruits, sweet potato, rice, pasta, etc? sugar and fruits? raisins? are you telling us to just eat protein sources and fat sources aka doing keto diet?
@@saluto1397 That is correct...have some berries and skip the added sugar.
Thanks for such valuable information...
@@saluto1397 no, table sugar in your tea will definitely be absorbed in your bloodstream. That's why it raises your bloodsugar. Eating complex carbs containing fiber will raise the sugar in the blood more gradually. Simple sugar which in nature doesn't even exist, will spike your bloodsugar. And amylase is also produces by your saliva glands and pancreas to help break down sugar. Make sure to eat about 30% of your diet raw and you will get enough digestive enzymes from your food
This is one of my favourite videos on youtube
I'm on a (most of the time) carnivore diet and when I decided to replace my carbs with eggs, it changes pretty much everything. I'm way more satieted with eggs than with a peanut butter toast, like I usually ate 4 hot-dogs or 4 toast coming back from my physical work and now I'm just eating like 3 eggs plus a little bit of cheese and I'm feeling better AND I'm eating less calories with those too. It's simple, I'm eating eggs with every meal I have during the day. Like I have my main meat as my principle meal and have 2-3 eggs on the side to complete the meal :). Combine that with a little bit of exercise and boum! I'm losing weight, that's great!
Interesting, I was a CNA/HHA for about 30 years and many of my residents were long livers we called them. They all ate eggs and meat on a regular basis. Quite a few were over 100 years old. Some of them were in the same facility that I worked at, ages 113, 112, 107, 105, 102. There were quite a few in their 90's as well. But there was the other extreme as well, younger residents who had many health problems who died young even though these facilities had nutritionists making the menus according to the food pyramid recommendations. We had to learn this in our Nursing assistant training as well. Our centenarians didn't go by that until they got in the nursing facility for the most part and then they started to have the traditional meals and experienced a decline in their health. I'm not a doctor but I noticed these things over time. Thanks for the video Dr. Berg.
Well the mistake is following the food pyramid lol that is bad outdated information. Idk what time frame tou were talking about since it wasn't mentioned
@@semekiizuio From 1993 till about 2022 when I retired. I started in 1978 but then got 'married with children,' and started again in 1993. I was what they called a Candy Striper in 1978 in the local hospital.
Gee Dr. B., you know a lot of things I do, but I didn't go to medical school, I only read medical & health publications printed before 1980. I really like your videos. I've been eating 4-10 pasture raised or backyard eggs per day for over 15 years now & I'm in excellent health and pushing age 60! 👍
Neither did he.
I love your videos thanks.
Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoy them!
I've been vegan for over 8 years and have thrived being a top level cyclist and triathlete but have recently transitioned into lifting more weights and trying to gain mass. I'm 6ft2 and was about 72kg as an endurance athlete i have increased my weight to 80kg in about 6 months but am finding it hard to go to the next level eating so many beans, lentils and tofu. I may introduce organic free range eggs into my diet after this video. Thanks @Dr.Eric Berg DC
Just to let you know, vegans eat more animals than meat eaters.... So I hope your being vegan wasn't to not eat animals.
tard @@lordgarion514
This is why I love Dr. Berg. He’s not sugar coating the fact that plant-based eating is becoming highly popular or in other words “trendy.” In my opinion it’s largely due to the government’s agenda. First the message is beware of processed foods but yet also be told that eating mock-meats are okay, which are extremely processed as well. And I’m saying all this as someone who has been vegan for over decade. It’s not meant for everyone. Find what works for YOU!
yup its sodium is too high hence kidney will be damaged
That’s what I think is good about the “whole food plant based” label as distinct from vegan, not just to get away from the negative connotation it has for many people, but to emphasize what you should eat more of instead of what you shouldn’t eat. Just not eating animal products isn’t going to make you healthy. Eating more ideally fresh veggies…I don’t think anyone can argue with that. It is becoming trendy because it sounds like there are a lot amazing health benefits. But would you be more, less, or equally healthy if you added eggs, maybe occasional sushi? What about bacon, assuming you avoided sugary and processed foods? I’d like to know, but have no freaking clue at this point. For every “expert”, you can find another who says the exact opposite. But at least they agree we should stay away from processed foods.
Veganism doesn’t work for ANYONE
A Whole Food Plant Based diet is NOT Trendy it's Science.

Thanks again for your information...❤
Anytime!
I find whenever I have a health question you answer it. Recently I was consuming only eggs for protein and wondered if it was a good idea. Thank you for answering my question Dr. Berg!
Many years ago I created my own hybrid diet. Mainly plant-based, but with wild salmon, sardines and organic eggs. The only other food I eat is porridge and nuts/seeds.
Hi, could you please tell me more about your hybrid diet? I'm creating my own diet full of nutritious foods and would like to learn some of your philosophies. I currently have eggs, sardines, avocados, berries, butter, and cod liver in my meal plan.
That's basically my diet too.
Dr. Berg you are the best spokesperson for all of the dietary advice. We're about the same age (with exception of your gray hair) you look 20 years younger. I'm putting your advice to good use sir.
Eggs basted and covered is my favorite. It makes the whites cook quickly and thoroughly without carbonizing the bottom. Eggs basted with just a splash of worcestershire per yolk also does the job, and brings out the savory flavor of eggs.
I used to eat 4 eggs for breakfast and had cut back to 2 due to 300% price increase on a box of 60. I have gone back to eating 3 and something is still lacking but I just can't justify splurging and "piggy out" as it makes me feel when food is so expensive now. I just go without. Almost like forced IF.

Thank you so mmch for addressing this subject. This seems to be one of the fear mongering subjects of the century. And all your videos are steeped in science so I can be confident in following your advice. You have improved my help immensely. I am 73 and embarking on a muscle building program and feel great. Frankly I am healthier than my vegan neighbors who are younger.
