Can I Eat These On A Keto Diet Plan

47 Comments

1. Hi Dr Berg these are very informative, thank you for taking time to do this for us. I’ve been following the vegetarian (no egg) keto diet for over a month. My recent blood work suggested positive changes and I’ve lost a few kilos already. I want to continue on the IF+keto diet but I’ve a question, if the low sugar and high carb foods like corn (in India we make chapati from corn flour) are consumed with like 10 cups of leafy fibrous vegetables like spinach, does that break the keto mode?

2. I have a question??? – are these numbers for cooked or raw veg or is there no difference. Thanks for all the good info you provide, have watched many of your videos now and they are helping with my weight loss greatly – I’m 59 female & fasting 20 hours, 5 days per week with keto, feel so much better and so far have lost 12lbs

3. Dear Dr.Berg,
   Thanks so much for your unrelenting effort in helping people, including myself having a better life and living healthy. Following your discussion on a Ketogenic diet, I was wondering if watermelon, pineapple and cucumber could be included, perhaps not frequently. I hope you see this and thus reply at your earliest convenience.

   Many thanks.

4. Jerusalem artichoke is also known in Italy as Topinambur. It tastes like artichoke but it really seams like little potato. Artichoke in Italy is very common and is keto food (Sodio 94 mg Potassio 370 mg Carboidrati 11 g Fibra alimentare 5 g Zucchero 1 g Proteine 3,3 g)
   Sorry for my English 😊

5. I grew my own corn this year. It was delicious, but I hadn’t eaten corn in years. I could only eat a small amount it FILLED me up like crazy!

6. Apart from the mistake about artichokes, it should be specified that heating some vegetables increases their sugar content. Boiling a potato with its skin will result in a moderate 55 IG (still not keto friendly), whereas baking it will lead to 75-80. The same goes with carrots. Crude, they’re ok, but if you heat them their IG will go skyhigh. I wouldn’t recommend carrots except in salad on a keto diet.

7. You are a hero Dr. Berg! Thank you so much for sharing all this life saving information. I have cirrhosis and you’ve taught me things I never knew. Bravo!

   • Glad to help! Be well!

8. So happy to hear that I can eat carrots! I’m thinking of trying Keto and carrots are my absolute favorite vegetable!!

   • @Snezana S. brother If Carrots Raw and Cooked is there Big difference

   • @Wiilka Hargeysa jecel
     Yes, I said that too.

   • @Snezana S. Which High Carbs and Sugar when Cooked Or Raw ??

   • @Wiilka Hargeysa jecel
     If you want to learn, you have to find it yourself and read it. It’s easy to. Cooked carrots have many more carbohydrates than raw.

   • @Snezana S. Ok I understand

9. The way you explain everything to us is just magnificent! Thanks for being such an amazing doctor!

10. I’ve been eating lots of artichoke for months and it never hindered my keto fat loss, it’s actually one of the best vegetables for keto diet

    • Same I can’t find anything that matches up with what he said about artichokes. I love his videos but I’m starting to realize he doesn’t site his sources for a lot of them.

    • 1 cup of water weighs only weighs 236 grams, so how can one cup of artichokes have 269 grams of carbs? Artichokes are not heavier than water. I think someone on his research staff misplaced a decimal point.

    • artichoke does not have that much carbs idk why it says that many

11. This video is exactly what I needed. I am currently on keto but everyday my mum makes me eat a little bit of carrot and potato, now i know theyre both ok in moderation. 🙂

    • Provided you eat RAW carrots on the KETO diet. Cooked NO. It is full of carbohydrates and sugars.

    • @Snezana S. grate

12. Someone’s video suggested avoiding carrots and beets (2 of my many favorites), but this analysis makes it quite plain that carrots and beets aren’t all that bad….terrific.

13. I just love how you present each topic!! You are so natural and down to earth. I could listen to you all day!!

    • Hello. How’re you doing Cindy?

14. I love Dr Berg and all his free and scientific information. I appreciate it so much! I have lost 17 kilograms in 6 months and feel amazing! I have also reversed early menopause through Keto and no no brain fog at all.

15. I’m going to jump on the artichoke comment. It is an awesome food with immeasurable benefits and has been my go to low carb food for years. Depending on the brand, you can get marinated artichoke hearts in a healthy oil with amazing flavor that accents almost any food. I have found products with as little as 2 grams of carbs offset by 2 grams of fiber with no sugar and lot’s of good fat. In general, a whole artichoke has about 14 grams of carbohydrate. I can’t imagine where the 269 gram number came from, and yes they are an excellent source of potassium. The best part is that most people steam them and dip them into an organic extra virgin olive oil dip or grass fed butter and so lot’s of keto friendly benefits.

16. You restored my faith in keto by giving carrots and tomatoes a green light! I love them with meat, combined with spinach and/ or kale!

    • @الإسلام كما كان سابقاً فقد اكتمل ولا مجال لزياده so you mean as a Muslim we should not do keto

    • @الإسلام كما كان سابقاً فقد اكتمل ولا مجال لزياده my gosh sht the f up…

17. Dr Berg you are a God sent! You are a teacher, a mentor, an angel!!! Thank you for explaining everything the way you do!

18. This was very helpful, thank you! I had been avoiding tomatoes in my salads and am going to add them back in, in small amounts. Also good to know that a few carrots won’t kill my progress, either. Wishing potatoes had better values…

    • Provided you eat RAW carrots on the KETO diet. Cooked NO. It is full of carbohydrates and sugars.

19. This man has a such a gentle, sweet and loveable nature about him : )

    • An angel

    • Wait till u see his wife,they together are 😂

    • Yeah, especially when he’s delivering bad news 😂

    • @Helen Ellsworth I’m pretty sure Dr Berg is an Aries and his wife is an Aquarius..

    • He’s like that painter/artist guy without the afro.

20. I am eating a beet every day and I am still loosing weight at an impressive rate. They make smoothies more palatable and the potassium is a God sent. I would not go as far as to say that everyone on keto should be eating them but for those of us who work out I think they are great.

    • Beets are rich source of folate too.

    • i like them cubed in a salad, adds a bit of extra flavour

    • You’re not on keto. You’re on low carb. Btw, how do you do a smoothie with beet, please?

    • That’s what I do… I keep some veggies and fruits that might be borderline for Keto… but the benefits are worth it! When I feel like I’m overdoing carbs, I just take a break from these.

    • Also good for lowering blood pressure.
