S not only that
I reckon ice cream after a meal and regular consumption of soft drinks and chips
All contributing to obesity in western countries
Yes, and when doctors tell us the truth about unhealthy Western diets, we don’t start whining about it and trying to change the subject matter as you are doing. Grow up!
And the iconic breakfast “aloo ka paratha” (which is fucking delicious) is literally carbs stuffed inside of carbs and a lot of oil.
This is about awareness. We already know about western countries.
He’s talking about India.
I have spent time in India and many other Asian countries.
@@utarian7 ask your grandfather no common man in older times had a belly.
The thing is people have to be CAREFUL WITH A VEGETARIAN DIET AND PEOPLE ARE NOT. Why are you making fish a necessity go to villages you will see. We are vegetarian for around centuries now Why has this increased in past 50 years??
I am not telling you to eat a vegan diet not at all but you cannot blame a vegetarian diet. Yes no one was eating a aloo ka paratha 100 years ago they eating something real
Other name for that fermentation is Sibo?
Protruding belly you see every person from every nation who has unhealthy lifestyle.
👍
I only have protruding dicC , and it is massive.
But it’s over the top in India.
India is way over the top and worse than any other nation.
It’s more common in South Asian countries. Almost every man has a protruding belly. Some men are even very skinny but they will somehow have a protruding belly. (It’s called skinny fat)
People here being defensive, aren’t thinking logically. You didn’t even get Dr.Berg’s point.
THEY GET HIS POINT EXACTLY THE WAY ITS MEANT TO BE TAKEN AL’RITE !😑😒 GET LOST NOW , LOSER!😑😒
Vegetarian don’t wanna hear any bad think about there food 🤣 they just pure hate on non veg foods
@@ankitkashyap272 : NO, ACTUALLY THE TREATMENT IS PRETTY APT EVERYWHERE IN REGARDS TO THOSE WHO REVEL IN EATING DEAD BODIES AND THEN INSIST ON FEEDING DEAD BODIES TO THEIR CHILDREN AS WELL BEHIND THE FOUR WALLS OF THEIR HOUSES , THE FIRST CHANCE THEY GET WITH THEIR CHILDREN.😒 THATS ALL.
Please stop putting vegans and vegetarians in the same sentence. We are worlds apart. Vegans are closer to paleo/carnivore. If you don’t get that you’re dumb. I was carnivore before vegan. Vegetarian is not healthy . Indians have dramatically become more unhealthy in modern times. They have a vast and hideously cruel dairy system and they have adopted the high sugar/cheap carb western diet. They have the highest rate of diabetes in the world. Not vegan. Stop using veganism as a weapon.
@@ankitkashyap272 The thing is not about vegetarianism we are vegetarian for centuries now even 50 years ago no common person had belly. (Ask your grandfather)
Now it is common because there is an addition of what is called junk food (sugary drinks, donuts, snacks, alcohol increased starch what dr berg mentioned in the video). there is a common risk of a belly with a vegetarian diet + junk food YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WITH A VEGETARIAN DIET, you cannot be careless simple the thing is go to small villages which follow the traditional method no one is having a belly.
Love from India ❤
As an indian i agree to dr. Berg 😁
with*
@@GeorgeBederzon ok ok with 😁👍
As an indian, I’m not at all offended but glad to see this amazing doctor spreading awareness. Indian cuisine is full of carbs and it’s so difficult to get protein. That’s why women and men here big bellies and flabby bodies.
It’s also related to quantity. If we look at Christian Orthodox monks, they only eat vegetarian with strictly plant based for about 3 months total in a year. But they also limit how much they eat. Of course, we could all do without sugar at all.
So what can be done to lessen the fermentation ??
@@janetmeegan5906Eat less foods that cause fermentation and more meat.
@@bushra02khan As a Muslim (khan) you have lot of high protein options like Beef, chicken, mutton, eggs and fish. Include veggies for Fibre and Curd for Probiotics. Eat a low carb Diet and Intermittent Fasting is also a must. No snacking, No Highly processed seed oils, no highly refined carbs and do any type of exercise you love.
Poverty?
Indians these days consuming lots of sugary drinks, lots of chocolates, street food ( deep fried ), almost regularly, And not doing exercise
Exercise is a white man thing 🤣
@@khalidacosta7133said no one ever. Have you ever seen American athletes? We’re in all colors. China dominated the Olympics too. No excuse.
Do they consume enough water?
Thanks to Doctor Berg aa an Indian learnt to eat right and in moderation and to exercise the body now is in good health and shape.
God Bless you for creating so much awareness.
Respect to Dr. Berg for showing the right map of India.
You mean exaggerated & unrealistic map of India? It’s showing parts of Bangladesh, Nepal and Pakistan as if they were part of Indian territory. 😂
Pkmkb
Diabetes capital of the world.
And you can walk on the river is there because they are so full of garbage. There is actually no escape from the garbage. And the people lineup in a row on the edge of the street and drop their pants and do a number two.
@@Boyhowdy875 Yep, not really a good place to live. No hate to Indians though, just not the best country.
Highest rate of diabetes in China.
All the Asian countries are following.
And they’re supposed to be the healthiest 😢
@@DebbieTDPThat’s wrong. By percentage, East Asians has one of the lowest diabetes rates.
@@kowalskikowalski8080 you’re wrong, sorry.
There is an epidemic of diabetes in Asia. Type 2 diabetes develops in East Asian patients at a lower mean body mass index (BMI) compared with those of European descent. At any given BMI, East Asians have a greater amount of body fat and a tendency to visceral adiposity.
Therefore, the tendency to gain visceral fat puts individuals of East Asian descent at a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Another physiological feature among East Asian individuals pertains to their increased likelihood of having impaired insulin function.
China is the country with the highest number of diabetics worldwide, with around 141 million people suffering from the disease. By the year 2045, it is predicted that China will have around 174 million people with diabetes.
The Japanese eat a great deal of rice and vegetables; why do they not typically have large stomachs?
I don’t know the answer but they eat fish and beef, miso soup and lot of green tea
They don’t eat sweets as much as Indians. And junk food is extremely popular there, too.
It’s the starches like beans and sugar he said that ferment. You see Japanese eat soups with alot of salads mixed in. The kimchi looks like it may help with digestion too
@@gotchabtchh Kimchi is fantastic for the gut. Lots of pro bios
@@utarian7 yes. I guess that type of fermentation is helpful for the brain and gut. You know in prisons they make their own liquor using the fermentation process with fruits and veggies. So I imagine this type is causing the big belly with all the starches and fibers being trapped in there.
My grandma was from India she came here in 1953, but never gave up her nuts, ghee, fresh vegetables and a lot of Ayurvedic way of living and lived until she was 98 years old ❤
He’s talking about their stomachs, not a threat of early death.
@@jeniferjohnson374of course it is related with the age! Big belly is related with metabolic syndrome and illness. So, if you live to 98 years old and in good health, what do you comment mean?
@@jeniferjohnson374 very funny l am aware of what he is saying but isn’t it obvious that if you keep healthy you look after your stomach it helps , you have totally missed the point also are these not the same foods Dr Berg recommends, American is the fattest nation and l am born and bread in England what about the beer bellies here, and just in case you get confused I’m not racist 🤷♀️😂
Thank you God bless you 🙏 @@meenaparkash9670
I’m not Indian but I can attest to being vegan and having major bloating issues. I remember one night, I had just eaten a very small ‘healthy’ meal and the inside of my belly button felt like it was about to tear apart. I had never felt anything like that before. It happened a couple more times and I finally decided I needed to go back to my old way of eating to get back to my baseline. Once I did that I found KETO and haven’t looked back since.
Glad you listened to your body and found something that feels best to you!
Vegan keto?
@@tattlevixen2581 No, they call it High Carb, Low Fat or HCLF. Basically the opposite of KETO. HCLF macros are 80% carbs, the rest of the 20% divided between protein and fat.
@@infinitelyblessed1778 I mean are you still vegan? 💚
I am an Indian, and I agree about Mr Bergs point about Indian food being full of carbs and that aspect of lack of nutrition that leads to protruding belly.
But it is an adaptation we have evolved with thanks to your kind!
Experts have agreed centuries of not having food security (under the British and the mess thereafter they left) ‘evolved’ us to have extra energy storage as fat for the months of famine.
And this phenomenon is still engrained to our food palate and our psychology.
Even though we have more deaths related to metabolic syndrome day after day, our archaic society considers having a little belly fat is ‘healthy’.
Only better education will free us from this rut.
That’s not evolution, that’s anxiety.
It’s because you worship your cows so you never eat meat, that’s why your diet is unhealthy with high carbs because you refuse to make changes and put the blame on someone else!
@@ObnyrAgreed. That’s why I used the quotation mark.
A little belly fat is fine
Just as anywhere else tho, central obesity is literally deadly
If the Brits were responsible for this type of obesity phenomenon in India, then Brits would have the same issue (and worse) because their access to food and their level of inactivity is even higher. Westerners have their own unique obesity issues, but it is nothing compared to India. So, trying to blame Westerners for India’s obesity epidemic isn’t going to work. Instead of trying to signal or point elesewhere, be responsible, accountable, and own it.
I’m Indian and I was literally just thinking about all of this two days ago. I was sharing all of this with my husband (who is white).
I grew up with the veggies… rice everyday.. lots of sugar… etc
Now I’m on the carnivore diet and I feel so good!
@@angelinavernam1939 LOLS, SO ONE OD YOUR CHILDREN IS GONNA BE PART OF YOUR DINNER MENU’S ONE OF THESE NIGHTS AS WELL THEN !??😑😒
@@rexxbailey2764 all 4 children eat what we eat … we teach them to be thankful for the food that is in front of us and grateful for what God has provided. If I do not have a clear conscious eating food that I know is bad for my body then there’s no reason I would feed it to my children.
@@rexxbailey2764…Because anyone who regularly eats meat is eventually going to eat their own children? Okay, got it.
Looks like too much veganism has affected your brain and you cannot think logically. The body actually NEEDS cholesterol. Cholesterol is stored in the brain, and it is vital to healthy brain function. Most vegetarians (and especially vegans) are deficient in cholesterol as their body becomes solely reliant on their liver to produce cholesterol for them. The only ways to ensure adequate healthy cholesterol is to eat meat, fish, eggs, and shellfish.
ask your grandfather no common man in older times had a belly.
The thing is people have to be CAREFUL WITH A VEGETARIAN DIET AND PEOPLE ARE NOT. go to villages you will see. We are vegetarian for around centuries now Why has this increased in past 50 years??
@@hemaanggupta8183 I grew up in the villages so u don’t need to tell me 🤪
At 3x the population of the US, producers absolutely love these customers. Highly addictive products that are super cheap to make is the hallmark of drug dealers. Pretty easily payoff regulators without as much scrutiny
You are so right Doctor!!! So excited to share this video with my father back in India 😅
Glad to know that you liked this post!
My indian wife wants to travel overseas to get gastric bypass surgery or lipo. She isn’t overweight by much for her height, only around 10kg. She isn’t changing her diet and exercise regime as I recommend. Some of these woman aren’t willing to do the work to get the results that they want. This s@#$t ain’t Youtube shorts, you have to put in effort to get the desired results.
Some of these women? This topic is for Both men and women and it’s a man in the video with a perturbing belly.
She may have cravings that can be very powerful. Some of Dr Berg’s videos on cravings and on recipes may help. In my case, enough red meats was key. Also, his electrolytes and minerals supplements were so helpful. I saved time and money by using his videos.
Seed oils and other processed food are on the rise everywhere. We all need to go back at least 40 years to the way food was made and cooked and get moving.
