Dr. Berg talks about Keto (Ketogenic Diet) being too extreme. And that comes from two different concepts, the “Everything in Moderation” and “There is No Bad or Good Food”. Ketogenic Diet is only extreme if you are comparing it to the “SAD” diet or Standard American Diet which has about 350g of carbohydrates per day. Also, Keto (Ketogenic Diet) will sound extreme if you don’t understand dietary sugar and blood sugars.

Extreme would be..

• 4 Billion Prescriptions that are given out on the yearly basis in the US

• 3.4 Trillion Dollars Healthcare per year

• 60% of the US population is either pre-diabetic or diabetic
