Everytime I tell my mom to cut sugar, she replies "we barely consume 2 teaspoon sugar/day". Then she continues to make kheer, sewai, halwa and sweets every other day. And refusing to eat those sweet dishes will cause havoc. ๐ Also my father is a diabetic person. He will continue to complain about his health but will not let go any opportunity to eat sweets.
I have noticed that sugar aggravates my allergy problem but it's really difficult to make my family understand this
Dr. Berg, is Jaggery healthy form of sugar?
Dr. Berg, your videos are truly educational and helpful. The Indian map used in your video is not the right one. Please use the correct map of India; the Jammu and Kashmir have been cut off on the map. It's a distorted one.
Very true Dr. Berg. After colonization Indian food culture is maligned with western food twist . The real Indian food is only vegetarian based using non refined oils, pure butter called Ghee, organic Jaggery, organic food spices and ingredients grown locally , based on Ayurveda. Including fasting for 36 hours every two weeks. Only eating from dawn to dusk (intermittent fasting). My grandma still follows that diet . At 80 years she lives in village and healthy as 40 years old. She refuses to eat outside, eats only home made food. Only made by her from wholesale ingredients. No medicine, no vitamins. Eats local grown and drinks cow milk daily. Only eats brunch and supper. She eats her lunch exactly when sun is at peak and dinner before sunset. She doesnโt get annual blood work. Only every 3 years and her blood work comes as normal. While in cities in india we eat early morning processed breakfast and late night outside fast food.
So Indian sugar used to be organic jaggery or whole sugar . Last two centuries people have started following fusion Indian western diet and minds have been colonized so badly we have forgotten our own ancient food culture.
I am from India only.Also I am from southern west state kerala.Unlike many Indians i consume lot of Non-Veg.I eat plenty of fish and Redmeat (mostly Beef as Goat is very expensive in India when compared to Beef).I do exercise and stick to minimum Gmo food as possible.But along with all I consume lots and lots of sugar too.If India is largest sugar consumer i am among the top sugar consumers in India ๐๐คฃ.I eat lot of sweats like Payasams,Halwa,Laddu,Mysoor pak,Plantain Roast,Sweat Banana leaf Ada_all Indian/Asian dishes;Chocolates, Chocolate cakes,Pudding,Home made Jams, etc..I don't get satisfaction if I don't take some dessert after Lunch/Dinner.Still I follows multiday and Intermittent fasting ๐
I am a doctor and I am from India. Sugar sweets are part and parcel of our life. We celebrate so many festivals and prepare variety of sweets specific to each festival. But we really need awareness about excess sugar consumption. Happy to see you talk about our food style. Thanks doc๐
Yes Dr Berg… India the capital of diabetes ๐ฅฐ๐
India is full of sugar and deliciousness and rice
Salads and continental we have to stil get it ….. people don't eat because it's blant taste
Indian restaurant has no salad ๐ฅ whatโs so ever haha ๐
Woohoo india finally #1 at something! ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ
But Google says Australia and USA I'd highest consumer of suger right ????
Greetings from India Dr Berg. Iโm following you from the last 2 years and Iโm on my way to much better health. All thanks to you . Reversed PCOS, migraine, lost 16 kg of weight and am much better than I was when I was 25. But I still struggle with vegetarian options for keto . I eat bajra and jowar rotis and am off gluten ,sugar and dairy and I must say the effects are awesome. I also do OMAD on most days
People started to get obese, diabetes and other disease since they all started eith western food like burger, pasta, pizza, noodles and so many other things that has become almost regular meal of People in India. This is the main culprit, people eat all western food as snack and then eat at home.,….
True Couldn't agree more, However I don't cook with Sugar @ 'll its always Steamed Or Baked Veggies Meat / Fish or Soups, Rice once a day also follow Intermittent fasting / Upvaasa .
Hi Dr. Berg, a follower for many years now. Just some quick points, our savoury meals do not contain sugar in general. It's the desserts that are sugar loaded and many people want to eat even if a bite of something sweet post every meal. On top of it our meals are very carb rich.
PS- the map of India is incorrect. There are many versions available online but request you to always use the official map of India
Reading through the comments is very informative and helpful in understanding how great results are when making good diet changes and don't stop us enjoying life. Vegetables are the answer along with small amounts of meat. Cauliflower in particular should be used in more of our dishes as its so versatile. Raw grated is a good exchange for grains when added to salads ๐ฅ and is nicer to eat. Green cabbage should be eaten more too and stir fried with onion and garlic and ginger and yogurt and herbs ๐ฟ.
I place in no sugar. Just all the yummy herbs and spices and seeds and fruits and vegetables.
Hooray… I'm a winner!!!
Hi Dr. Berg, I completely agree with this video. I am from India and yes, we just cannot do without sugar. Most of our preparations at least. Even if you don't factor in sugar, almost all our preparations are carbohydrate based. A keto diet in a typical Indian household is something that's very difficult to implement.
No wonder we have a high load of diabetic patients and patients with cardiovascular diseases.
Please include more videos on recipes we Indians can follow to make our diet healthier.
That's why they have big belly๐ ๐๐คฃ
South Indian food has less sugar when compared to North Indian
All u said is true.. only the map of India is not๐
Please don't show pictures and videos of idolatry. It is disgusting.
and butter. Call ot ghee. Same.
Tbh, a lot of traditional Indian cuisine is keto friendly (barring those dishes which use rice and potatoes). That sucks for you, because you will never know what chicken biryani and Hyderabadi biryani tastes like.
Traditional Indian food does not use sugar in their dishes such as chicken karahi, jalfrezi, tandoori chicken, seekh kebab, chicken biryani, Hyderabadi biryani, etc. The addition of sugar in these cuisines is a westernised invention, initially adopted by the British empire to make the spicy Indian food more palatable for their wimpy taste buds.
No wonder INDIA has an epidemic of diabetics.The worst disease that I never wish on anyone is Type 2 Diabetes.
I have never seen anyone adding sugar to traditional entree dishes. The desserts are of course sweet just like dessert in any other cuisine.
It really depends which part of India one is from and the individual household set up. My roots go back to Punjab. The only time we consume sugar sweets (mithai) is during festivities. Our tea, coffee is without sugar. My mother was very mindful on what went into our food. Having said that my dad and I have a sweet tooth. ๐
I am from India but staying in USA …me and my family following u from
Last 2 years …we have lost weight and our health situation has improved dramatically
M feeling hungry now ๐
Doctorsabib ,
Bahut hi umda. Aap ne sahi kaha. India ko Chini kum karna padega.
Har khus khabari par hum Hindustani , โ Muh meetha karte hainโ
Aap ke mashware ko salam.
Dr Berg nice to see Indian recipes just to let you know a flour called Bajra Iโm being told is very low in carbs substitute for carbs unless doing fully keto, just a question is this true?
Big relief to know one can do KETO on Indian food !!
Should Kick out Pepsi and Coke from India..
I appreciate you talk about oyr ibdian foods thank you
This is so true. Sugar is like backbone of Indian society. There is so much peer pressure on eating sweets! My mom will make sweets all the time and try to break my fast like itโs some challenge for her. ๐
Addiction ah Tradition. Haha Doc you are too witty
๐๐
Hi Dr. Berg – We love your videos, learnt, and implemented many advises. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. Another Indian here.
Do you know that in the time in 16th century Europe when sugar was expensive as gold and could only be bought in pharmacies, in that time too in India sugar was a house hold staple. India was that rich a continent. Till British East India Company sucked it bone dry.
As an Indian, I used to consume a lot of Sweets & Sugars in food .. But I started watching your videos 1.5 years ago & I just left sugars altogether … although I do cheat every few months
I also reversed my NAFL & corrected my Cholesterol levels in over 6 months after leaving sugar & carbs ..
Wrong map
Sweet India ๐ฎ๐ณ
Dr. Berg, where do you live? You don't fool us. Indian
food is white rice and drippy creamed spinach. That's it. I've never seen anything in an Indian restaurant you can actually chew, like you have in your photographs, exept for the rare treat of pink-dyed chicken.
