Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weights.

Let's talk about the 16 biggest keto mistakes that will block your progress.

All right, number one, not reading labels.

You end up eating a so-called keto-friendly something, and it's not actually keto-friendly. Now, as you start doing this, you're going to get better and better, and you're going to catch things, and you're going to learn

certain things. But let's just start with the Atkins bars and shakes. Okay, if you look at the

ingredients, you'll find all sorts of things that are not just not keto-friendly, but they're not

healthy at all. They have this protein blend with soy

protein isolates, which is really hard in the liver, and it will increase your estrogen, and it's

GML. So there could be traces of glyphosate, which is an herbicide. Then they put weight

protein in there, which is the highest on the insulin index, and then sodium cacinate, which is not the best

normal source of protein. But the combination of those is very, very inexpensive protein.

All right. And then we have this thing called polydextrose. What the heck is polydextrose?

It's a synthetic fiber, right? And they'll say that, oh, it's a fiber, so it's not

going to increase insulin. And even the FDA approved it as being a dietary fiber. But the research

is so new, and I know people who consume products like this, results are not near where they

should be, and they have bloating and they have digestive issues. And so any of these new

synthetic fibers, I just would recommend staying away from them. And then we have an ingredient's

multital, which is the worst sugar alcohol. I mean, it's recommended for diabetics, but on the

glycemic index, it's like a 52. And that's just like way too high.

It's the absolute worst, so-called diabetic-friendly sugar

that you can consume.

And I've done a video just on that one sugar alcohol.
