    Thank you to those pointing out that Dr. Berry's diet is called the PROPER Human Diet! 😆 I was mixing up his diet's name with another one out there called the Perfect Health Diet (also PHD) by Paul Jaminet. 🥴😅 I like Dr. Berry's choice of title even better now! And for the record, I tried the Perfect Health Diet and somehow I didn't achieve perfect health. 🤔🤷‍♀️

    Thanks for your thoughts on this topic. I am now just trying to figure out what foods do and don't work well for my body. I have kinda landed on ketovore style for now. Sometimes I want vegs and sometimes I just want meat only for a meal.

    Little Ms. Indigo you are so freaking cute! Love this video so much! Thank You for showing how ridiculous people get when we start listening to others that you don’t even agree with but it becomes a habit to start a “dogmatic mindset “ that in my humble opinion TRUMPS IT ALL! How are we going to heal anything physically if WE CREATE our ENVIRONMENT Mentally Messed up by diving down boils down into .. if not careful… NOT trusting yourself to choose foods that make your body feel good… having to go ask a Dr online if it’s okay to drink Redmond’s Relyte while doing Carnivore? In context: Asking for permission NOT for info on if it breaks a REAL Atophagy Fast .. Hope that translates into .. great video!!! You are one of the coolest and thank you for also inspiring us to just keep the LOVE & JOY alive! Your kiddos will treasure your incredible videos! Love&light from California 💗💗

    I agree with what you were saying, find what works for you & what you are comfortable with.
    We had been watching Dr Jason Fung as my husband is trying to get off his diabetic medicine. I had been following Trim Healthy Mama & doing very well on that. My husband then decided that he only wanted carbs at lunch & low carb at dinner.
    Then we happened on Dr Berry. I guess we are as Dr Berry's wife Neisha says Ketovore for now & my husbands diabetic #'s are responding well.

    I had my health DNA done to take the guess work out of my diet. What I found was this: gluten intolerant, lactose intolerant, slow carb metabolizer, can’t eat beans because I have a mutation that affects how I can’t metabolize sulphur. I chose a low carb lifestyle lost 100 lbs. plateaued and found keto, plateaued again found carnivore. So now I am ketovore. This is how I lose weight and stay healthy.

    Thanks so much for this! I ca totally relate as I have made a journey from a“healthy “ SAD to more and more traditional food leaning towards paleo, and then more and more low carb, and finally keto when I had to attack my prediabetis.

    That’s the way i used to think when I was a young man. Two heart attacks and three stents later I changed my lifestyle to SOS vegan. At first I thought the rest of my life would be eating beans and potatoes. But I found quite a lot of great doctors and vegan chefs with great cookbooks. I started reading papers and books by Dr. Esselstyn (Cleveland Clinic) and his son amongst others. I reversed my heart disease in under a year. All of my tests are now comparable with a young man. I wish I had their knowledge before my stents. My lifestyle ( I don’t use the word diet anymore ) was causational to my coronary heart disease. I was doing everything right in my life except the food I was putting in my mouth. Yes, I used to think your way when I was young, but most of us after the age of 55 or 60 should re-evaluate our lifestyles for tweaks and changes. Unfortunately the standard American diet (the current five year government food pyramid) sneaks up on us later in life and is unforgivable. I am now healthy and immeasurably happy with my lifestyle and enjoy the food that I eat and the wonderful life it allows me. Thanks for your great videos!

    I agree so much on the “because life is going to kill you” statement. There’s so much more to life than just being alive. Health is very valuable and important, but happiness is part of health!

    I balk at the phrase “Proper Human diet”. I believe in creation, and agriculture was happening from the very beginning of time. There is a lot to say about the variety of foods eaten by early people in scripture. Not cavemen. This life we live now is hugely different from how agriculture was then. If vegetables are so terrible for a person, why do blue zones exist today ? Truth is hard to find. It could very well be that it lies somewhere between the two extremes.

    Great recap of how this journey takes us down a path of realizations and choices and how we individually have to find the balance that works for our individual metabolism. Could you share how you ate while pregnant? My daughter is due in September!

    Love your idea of combining not just nutrition, but also social and mental aspects of trying to find the best way to get and stay healthy. I am old enough to remember the cycles of eggs were bad, then they were good; pork was bad, now it is acceptable; coffee was bad and so on. Dr. Berry actually calls his idea of meat and a little veg the Proper Human Diet as in away from sugar and highly processed food. But he also says if you have medical issues or if you have budget issues to just do the best you can do. Watching your videos has pushed me in the same direction and that is how I try to live my life nowadays. I make a conscious effort to keep my stress levels low and eat foods that are healthy for me and allow me to enjoy time with friends and family.

    Yes! I totally agree. I have been blessed with good health and can tolerate almost any food at any time. But, I have chosen to eat a proper human diet 95% of the time , and the other 5% are the “flexible” food situations. This has stabilized my weight and improved my medical numbers, while allowing the not so healthy social situations to occur as they come without a second thought.
    I like your sensibleness!

    Resistance weight training while having good metabolic health is the one mechanism that negates the many negatives of any meals that may cause damage.

    A good rule of them is to do the opposite of what the government says and you will be ahead of the game.

    Dr. Berry calls his approach the Proper Human Diet. As you are stating, Perfection is not always possible to achieve and the stress caused by trying to reach that is not a desired thing.
