Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

Hey guys, it's me. In this video, we're going to talk about the quantity of vegetables

or a salad that you need to consume. Now, obviously, this might be a little too much and you might

not want to use a fork like this, but I'm trying to make a point here. If we look at the derivation

of the word food in the dictionary, it comes from the word nourishment. So we eat food to

nourish our bodies or provide nutrients. That's the purpose of food. So if we just reverse

engineer that and look at how much food we have to eat to get those nutrients, then we can

figure out the quantities because our bodies require, they're called RDAs, different nutrition,

you know, recommend dietary allowances or daily amounts of nutrition you need to sustain your body.

So you have vitamins and minerals and trace minerals and amino acids that's proteins and fatty

Now, if we take a look at how much you need, it's probably a lot more than what you've been doing.

Let's just take potassium. You need 4700 milligrams per day of potassium to run the body,

and that's a, of someone of 200 pounds. Now, if you're like half that weight, you can get

a bag with half of it. But let's take a look at one banana is about 300 milligrams. So you can

see 4700 milligrams. You would have to eat a tremendous amount of bananas and all that sugar will

probably create a problem. So the question is how much salad or vegetable do you need per day?

Let's just talk about salad. You would need about seven to ten cups. So maybe on a small person,

you need five cups and a large person, you would need ten cups. Now, if we take a look at what a

cup means, one cup equals one ounce. This salad right here is 16 ounces. So this is 16 cups.

This one right here is 16 cups of salad and 16 ounces. So on average, if you're roughly
