Here are the 7 worst diets for weight loss and your health.
1. Junk food version of the Atkins diet
The Atkins diet brand sells shakes and bars full of unhealthy ingredients such as soy protein isolate, soybean oil, artificial flavoring, and polydextrose.
2. Jenny Craig diet
This diet consists of pre-made meals and the “anytime bar” that contains soy protein isolate and concentrated milk protein. Jenny Craig pre-made meals contain synthetic starches such as potato flour, cornstarch, modified food starch, and maltodextrin.
3. WeightWatchers
This diet is based on portion control. WeightWatchers sells a brand called Smart Ones, which makes chicken pasta that contains wheat flour, wheat gluten, maltodextrin, soy protein isolates, and soybean oil—the same ultra-processed ingredients found in junk food.
4. Nutrisystem diet
The Nutrisystem diet claims to be diabetic-friendly but uses the same ingredients, such as polydextrose and maltodextrin. Maltodextrin is 185 on the glycemic index compared to sugar, which is 65.
5. Ideal protein diet
The ideal protein diet is not ideal! Wheat protein isolate is just another name for starch, which is a chain of sugars.
6. Optifast
This medically supervised diet program consists of three main types of food: shakes, bars, and soups. The first ingredient in their chocolate shake is maltodextrin!
7. Medifast
This “scientifically designed” program consists of 6 servings per day. One of their products is called the essential chocolate mint cookie crisp bar. Once again, this bar contains soy protein isolates, sugar, polydextrose, soluble corn fiber, brown rice syrup, milk protein isolates, and rice starch.
If you use these ultra-processed ingredients to lose weight, you will destroy your metabolism! These are very poor quality ingredients that do not promote health. They are the prime contributors to diabetes and obesity, yet they’re in “diet” foods.
To lose weight, consume whole foods and read ingredient lists! Just because a product is labeled “keto-friendly” doesn’t mean it’s healthy.

Thank you, Dr. Berg for a great video.
No problem. Hope you enjoyed watching the video.
Thank you, Dr. Berg! Your information is ALWAYS helpful and welcomed.
Thank you for giving us the information necessary to optimally fuel our bodies!
We need to make this information available in schools!
No problem. Glad to share this video. Thanks for watching!
And throw out the food pyramid they’re teaching kids. Should be called “Diabetic Pyramid” 😂
Dear dr. Berg. Please make a video about the overthinking problem that has ruined my life for years, it’s like there’s a person inside my head and I’m talking to them more than real people
I think you might have ocd.
Take B1 in form of benfotiamine

@Drberg
It’s everything that our doctors don’t take the time or have the knowledge to explain to us.
Thank you!

25 years ago Jenny Craig wanted to hire me to write prescriptions for phenomenal and another medication. I wouldn’t be allowed to counsel anyone and if I did they would fine me $50,000. Needless to say I didn’t do it. Six months later those medications were identified as causing cardiac issues and pulled from the market.
The drug was Phenphen. Damn autocorrect.
In the future, you can click the three dots on the right of your comment and select edit to make corrections.
I had good results with ephedrine and didn’t have heart issues. Too bad the natural stuff got pulled too.
I know I don’t understand why people don’t read the ingredients. Just quit eating processed food.
They’re hooked on it. (And too lazy to cook.)
It’s definitely addictive, and people are too lazy to cook. Lean protein and fresh vegetables are quicker to prepare and eat, but often they’re more expensive than processed foods.
That tells you the quality of food you’re eating.
Society is sick!
Thank you for “deciphering” the ingredients list. They hide sugar and other bad ingredients very well.
Good food doesnt have to be processed!
Their toxic ingredients are always being used in their products. We know why. Thank you, Dr Berg 👍🏻💯
Population control 🤨. Thank God we’re catching on. Wish more Americans would understand this.
Thank you for another great video, Dr Berg ❤
loving the sarcasm meter; you know, just in case it wasn’t abundantly clear 🤣🤣

🦾👹👍🏿 Elegant use, Life bars of Super Sarcasm Meters Doc, thanks for the hint. Haha love the animation where you see a normal cell then, it turns into this other THING.. HEH . Genius-ery at work. Also beautiful clips of DR BERG picking the fruits/vegetables in the farm, on the video of 7 fruits that kill cancer ,
🤣
I lost 40lbs in two months following meditast but it was something I could not transition from without gaining lots of weight back
Probably a bulk of the “weight” lost was water, which will be regained if you resort to the same diet choices that lead to the problem in the first place. Don’t underestimate the value of exercise and a keto diet.
Thank you for always making chapters on your videos!
Thanks for watching.
These companies should be embarrassed of themselves.
@leah__gail The sheep should be embarrassed.
@@mrscott01 Yes, but fooling the gullible and desperate is far worse.
@@leah__gail It is easier to deceive someone than is to convince them they have been deceived.
Dr Berg…I’m 63 and have had misophonia since I was a child. I always have to eat alone and live most of my life with Bose Noise Cancelling headphones with a White Noise App. I appreciate you listening to my feedback about the sound effects with graphic changes. I can continue to watch your videos without being highly stressed.
Get a homeopath
Years ago I purchased a download labeled ” Noise Sensitivity( Misophonia) Treatment” from the site Hypnosis Downloads. Using it took the “edge” off for me.
I was diagnosed diabetic on May 20th. I had moved and found a local Healthcare clinic. My visit was with a PA. I went for other issues but she saw some lab results ( from an Urgent care visit in April) so began with more labs including my A1C and cholesterol. I’ll be 60 next week and I’ve never had these 2 checked. Both high. I began cutting out carbs, and watched calories . I’ve lost 31.5 pounds, my blood sugar is regulated and blood pressure back in the normal range. I go back to the PA for my 3 month check up and follow up with a new A1C and cholesterol level. I’m excited to see the newest numbers. My diagnosis for diabetes was a shock. I had zero of the usual symptoms.
The past 3 years ( prior) to my clinic visit I’ve been through alot of devastating things in my life. I sat in my room for over 2 years rarely leaving my house. The weight poured on. Thankfully I’ve gotten my life back spiritually, mentally and physically.
I now have a new situation and I’ll go through it and continue my new healthy lifestyle choices.. my husband of 40.5 years told me he’s leaving me this next week. Happy 60th birthday to me huh?? He was going to be out this weekend but we’ve had 9 days of nonstop rain mostly from tropical storm Debby. Finally clearing up so he’ll be moving out. I’ll make it. My health is my #1 priority right now…
Stay safe out there everyone 🌷
Get a homeopath
First off, Happy Birthday! 🎉
I too have undergone so much change this past year, after being mostly isolated for a couple years ‘in my room’. Im 57, and like you I took back control and have grown leaps and bounds physically, spiritually and mentally. I lost 40 lbs and have educated myself against the terrible practices of our food industry. I can -so- relate to your post, I had to comment. ❤ I’ve been divorced for years and I’m here to tell you, at this age, you WILL be okay without him. Being alone doent mean lonely. I cherish doing my own thing and not having to worry about what someone else is saying or doing anymore. I love my grandkids and pets and I’m just fine 🥰
I’m so thankful for Dr. Bergs help through this take-back-control season in my life. I have no doubt his valuable info has added years and -quality- of those years to my life. My prayer is for your continued success and happiness in your upcoming seasons, truly ❤ 🙏
🙏🏻
You’ll be better off overall. You’re already off to a good start.
It can be devastating to lose someone that’s been in your life for so long but now’s your chance to do for yourself, it’s okay to be selfish instead of always selfless.
As far as diet goes, I’ve seen so many fail because of the people around them (usually close family) because they have to cook different meals or feel peer pressure or doubt.
You’re not alone, I’ve had three long time girlfriends choose to leave very near or on my birthday. Each one later asked to come back, no thanks.
You can do better, take care of yourself. Without your health its all bad news.
Happy birthday beautiful!
I had to go completely carnivore to get away of the fake food sold to me as Keto and great food to lower my glucose. Thank you for your videos that have provided so much education to me on how to avoid glucose and starch.
