all right so i wanted to do this video  on what i actually eat on a given day now the reason why i’m hesitant to do this video  is simply because um it’s nothing exciting and um you know i’m not your average person i can eat  the same thing every single day my wife has to have variety i don’t i primarily eat for health  most people don’t eat for health so realize when i tell you this this is just what i eat you can eat  whatever you want to eat just make sure it’s keto friendly when most people start keto they do need  desserts they need variety to keep it interesting so realize this is just a kind of a an example  of what i eat now presently i eat one and a half meals a day i’m going to tell you why i would  normally eat one meal a day but if i do that i tend to lose a little too much weight and it’s  very difficult for me to consume the amount of calories in one meal so i kind of spread it out so  it’s not two full meals it’s like one and a half the first meal is between one to two o’clock okay  in the afternoon and the second meal is between five and six o’clock p. m so that gives me kind of  a fasting range between 19 hours and 21 hours now i also want to differentiate the difference  between keto and healthy keto keto basically is just low carbs they’re not focused on the  nutrition okay the nutrients the benefit is from the lowering of your carbs healthy keto factors  in the nutrient-dense foods okay and this is why i recommend the healthy keto plan with this x factor  called intermittent fasting seems to work great on pretty much everyone all right what do i eat in  the first meal i consume a combination of protein and fat mostly some vegetables but not too much i  may do four eggs with onions with some fermented veggies and so i get these fermented veggies from  the farmer’s market sometimes i get them from amazon and make sure that they don’t have sugar  in them i might also do asparagus and i’ll just have that raw and i’ll just chew on like  maybe five uh five little stalks of asparagus now realize someone took my video out of context  and they said dr berg eats all this food in one meal which is not true so when i give you these  examples you’re not supposed to add them up okay i don’t eat all of these this is four eggs onions  slash fermented vegetables or hamburger half a pound but not both together okay so i just want to  clarify that now i consume a lot of hamburger why because hamburger is a lot more fatty than steak  and i never buy the 90 lean i buy the 75 to 80 so it’s more fatty i’ll consume about half a pound  with sauerkraut so that would be my protein i make sure that it’s grass-fed grass-finished and a  bit fatty i do buy a lot of my hamburger from u. s wellness meats i don’t get any commission off that  fyi now another option i might consume especially if i’m in a rush is summer sausage i found one  that has less than one gram of sugar okay and i put the link down below it’s pretty good and it’s  all organic so that’s good it’s very hard to find summer sausage without having some dextrose or  other types of sugar in it and i’ll i will consume about eight ounces of that okay it’s very fast  i’ll cut it up and sometimes i’ll add cheese to it maybe i’ll have some swiss cheese the cheese  is always grass-fed organic and primarily from europe it’s not velveeta okay now other times  i’ll have some salmon i’m very very spoiled with salmon because sometimes you get this salmon  that’s old or it’s um if you go to a restaurant it’s overcooked and it just doesn’t taste that  great so i make my own salmon and i just fry it with olive oil put sea salt and pepper and  then i’ll put mayo i like the primal kitchen mail because it doesn’t have any sugar and the  oil is avocado oil and that’s what i’ll consume and sometimes i’ll add olives to my meal i like  olives so that’s pretty much what i eat now right after the meal i might add some pecans because  i might not be satisfied so maybe a handful of pecans sometimes i’ll do celery and peanut  butter the peanut butter is organic valencia salted i get that from trader joe’s i’ve done  videos on that it’s a pretty good peanut butter and sometimes i’ll add a little chocolate  now of course this is sugar-free chocolate there’s a lot of different keto friendly chocolate  things out there the one that i like now is just with chocolate and stevia i’ll put a link down  below of a few you may not like these because when you sweeten chocolate with stevia it gives  you this little aftertaste which i don’t seem to mind karen won’t consume it so she does lily’s  chocolate which is a little bit tastier but i find that that throws off my digestive system  if i have chocolate with just stevia it doesn’t bother my digestive system at all and i’ll  just do like three ounces of that chocolate okay so now that’s the simplicity of what i eat  for my first meal second meal all right i will primarily start with the veggies okay usually  eight cups of salad sometimes seven sometimes ten but it’s this bowl of salad i’ll start eating  that i like to use arugula or a greens mix from the farmer’s market simply because sometimes  the salad that you buy at the grocery store is just completely empty the ideal situation would  be to have you consume salad from your own garden i’m going to do some videos on that that would be  the best thing because you can control how much nutrition that’s in that salad i really believe  that people do not like salad because they’ve never tasted really good salad grown on really  good soils so i highly recommend you seek out some good salad so you can taste what it normally  should taste like okay now i put some sea salt on my salad i might add avocado maybe some  nuts but not too many other things i use a lot of olive oil but not your regular olive oil  i get my olive oil from italy i’m sure there’s other types of olive oil out there but just make  sure it’s fresh because most the olive oil out there doesn’t even taste like anything it should  have a very fresh almost like a grass-cut taste kind of a little spicy so i just dump a lot  of olive oil on there and i’ll put balsamic vinaigrette okay that’s all i use now  i may have a different type of salad uh chopped cabbage and carrot okay and i use  a combination of white cabbage and red cabbage i have one of those little choppers that  i just put in there and i chop it down and if i’m doing that i’m not gonna do eight  cups i’m gonna do like three and a half cups because it’s very dense and i’ll put  some mayo on it from primal kitchen and i just love that that seems to really  digest well and that would be my vegetable for the day now sometimes i might just do a steamed  cauliflower four cups with a lot of butter and sea salt and pepper all right do i add any protein  occasionally sometimes i’ll do like a half a can of cod liver not cod liver oil but cod liver you  can search it it’s out there it’s pretty awesome most of it’s wild caught and it’s not bad tasting  and it’s very high in fat and it has some protein in there not too much if you do a whole can of  cod liver you’re going to be very filled up and sometimes i do that as well depending on if i’ve  exercised very intensely and i need to eat more now i also might add some summer sausage not eight  ounces but maybe four ounces okay it’s really quick it gives me a little protein and maybe  i’ll put a little swiss cheese with that i may add some pecans i may add celery with that peanut  butter i mentioned um just until i’m satisfied okay so that’s pretty much what i eat now what  do i fry the eggs in beef tallow where do i get my greens preferably from the farmer’s market  if i can sometimes i can’t go there so i will just buy the arugula from the store it has to be  organic of course and when tomatoes are in season i will consume a tremendous amount of tomatoes  from the farmer’s market or i will consume
