Good genes can't counter bad habits. If you smoke and have good genes, you still have a risk of lung cancer. If you eat 1000 calories more than your body can burn off every day, you still have a risk of obesity and diabetes.
Good genetics can only reduce your risk. It can't prevent you from making stupid choices that result in physical deterioration.
So many so called Nutritionists especially academic trained have failed the public. The same bs preached by the FDA to each lots of whole grains, fruits, and drink dairy leads to obesity. Dr Berg talks and points out the problems with the government and general dieticians are wrong about how to help the public. Counting calories, limit fat intake, eat more complex carbs, and a plant based diet. These methods doesn't help at all because of poor food labeling and generally nobody follows. Eat carbs regardless of what they are leads to weight gain plain and simple. Eat healthy fats like nuts, fish, butter, and EV olive oil is great for reducing weight. So I don't care if Dr. Berg is a chiropractor or not, his research and opinions have been great and he has a great following that tried his solutions and succeeded.
I generally find his opinions to be more honest than all other professional nutritionist that just tells people to limit caloric intake and eat more fruits and less meats.
People get fat because they eat too much for their daily activity needs.
Just curious, who else to listen to on Youtube besides Dr. Berg? I listened to some Jason Fung and also Thomas DeLauer but looking for anything else good.
I'm interested in low carb (not keto but don't mind hearing about it) and also IF but nothing extreme like the OMAD stuff. Mainly right now doing low carb, a very low-key IF (like 14:10) but not snacking between meals, and eating no added sugar. All this I just started 1-2 weeks ago.

This is a result of insulin resistance. Frequent eating and people who insists on having multiple small meals, snacking, and then thinking going to the gym can take care of the extra eating.
I do not buy into everything anybody has to say. I will listen, then go to another source to get further perspective and info..........do that over and over again until I come to my own conclusion.
Berg has some information that is useful for me and some stuff that I do not really buy into.
His push to eat only organic, free-range animal-products, UGH, I am not rich and I do not think
it matters much, if any.
Another way to approach it is to understand nutrition through the lens of evolution. The diet we evolved on is likely to serve us well. A few books on the subject I've enjoyed by authors with no dog in the (diet) fight:
If you believe that, you just don't have the experience or knowledge about health & nutrition to do an evaluation of your own. For me it's relatively simple and I'm in the process of preparing for a new thread to evaluate the Paleo diet. The author calls it a "stone age diet". Perhaps because he was stoned when he came up with the idea. It may look great to the average reader who's desperate to lose weight, but it's hopelessly flawed and risky long term.
