Today I’m going to cover how to get rid of puffy eyes and dark circles under the eyes. While puffy eyes and dark circles under the eyes could be caused by things like fatigue or even damaged kidneys, these aren’t common causes.

The most common cause of puffy eyes and dark circles under the eyes is hyperinsulinemia. Hyperinsulinemia basically means that you have too much insulin in your blood.

A person with hyperinsulinemia has insulin resistance, which causes the pancreas to produce too much insulin. Insulin resistance is caused by consuming sugar and refined carbs.

If you have insulin resistance, you retain a lot of fluid all over the body, including the eyes. Carbs also cause retention of sodium and a deficiency of potassium.

How to get rid of puffy eyes and dark circles:
1. Stop eating carbs
2. Stop snacking
3. Start doing intermittent fasting
4. Start taking potassium or consume foods high in potassium

My face has completely transformed and I lost 25 lbs since July. I've been doing keto on and off and honestly my eyes look much better now. I always looked bloated and like I wasn't getting enough sleep. Great advice. Thank you Dr Berg!

I have struggled with dark circles and puffiness for as long as I can remember. I have cut out carbs and suger for 2 weeks now and intend on doing this as part of my lifestyle because I feel much better. Thank you Dr Berg for your advice. I am at a place where by I am fully understanding by body and that I am responsible for keeping it healthy.

I had the puffy eyes and only one month on keto & fasting it's gone! Following Dr Berg's advice and healing each day. Thank you I forever will be grateful for all your amazing advice🙏

After getting on Keto, I started using less concealer under my eyes and after months being on Keto I don't wear any under my eyes, just the corner of my eyes to give it a little lift. I also don't have such a big night time skincare routine like I use to because my skin is better being on Keto. It's truly game changing.

Fasting and low carb has helped me not only lose weight but has also helped feel so much more in control of my eating and therefore, my emotional health. ♥️

Doc you are so right, for all your viewers I had to go on a low to no carb diet because I suffer from Candida overgrowth. I have noticed my bags has decreased and so have the dark circles. Wow. Keep doing this great work helping people. We appreciate you.

Hi Dr Burg, I have been watching your videos for a few months, I have been dx with Carcinoid Syndrome. To make a long story short I went on Sandostatin for 1.5 years until it made me type 2 diabetic. Then they started me on Metformin. I’m also an ER nurse and right around the this time I began to research, once the drill critical thinking in school it is hard to think differently and so stopped Sandostatin. My last pet scan was clear from tumors and I decided it was time to stop my diabetes, I watched your video on how to fix insulin resistance followed you advice on keto diet and limited carb intake.

All it took was 3 months and diabetes is now gone!!!! Thanks for all you do, you are a true lifeline and a blessing to me and my family God bless you!

I had them during stressful times, possibly comfort eating will raise insulin resistance & it's a vicious circle. However, things got better with keto & watching Dr Berg's advices everyday 😊

I have always had dark circles since a baby.. 48 years old now. Carb free and still have dark circles

[chantemichelle]

I was on a special diet to get rid of my Lyme disease (no sugar, no carbs, no yeast ) just organic chicken, salmon, eggs, vegetables and fruit. It healed me and I got so much energy. Then I started to think I’ll have a treat cause I’m feeling so much better. Now it’s been 2 months eating unhealthy. I’ve been having problems with my health again and my eyes are dark and puffy. So this video makes sense to me. I’m only 25 years young so I shouldn’t be dealing with all this. I should just stick to my diet !!! I love this channel

Listen to your body. I do intermittent fasting and my body does better with carbs in it. I broke out in a HORRIBLE rash when I was not including them . I love bananas and potatoes and help with muscle cramps. Everyone needs to know their body and what works for them. In moderation ❤️

[HonestVirtue]

This is so true, I quit sugars and excessive carbs about 2 weeks ago, and no dark circles and lost 5 lbs!

[emh]

Lowering my protein intake, got rid of my bulging bags under my eyes . I really thought they would never go away unless surgery. Thank you Dr . Berg ! Also my upper puffy eyes also went away when I reduced my carbs . 🙏

[runeguy]

I swear every Dr. Berg's solutions always boils down to avoiding carbs and going Keto 🤣

[threella]

It’s the 2nd week of July 2024, & I was told the only way I could get rid of the bags was to have surgery; PERIOD‼️ I’ve had 3 reconstructive spine surgeries in the last 3yrs. I was sad to hear “the only way”⁉️I needed this info & will follow your advice. I’m not wanting the surgery at 64! Thanks Dr. Berg for this lifeline! 😁😁

OMG I have to say this is the most informative videos for me. I've had dark under eye circles for at least 10yrs. I figured it's genetic COZ my mother has them too. So, I later developed the dark patches under my armpits about 6 months ago. I immediately knew those were from insulin resistance but I never made the same connection with my under eyes. I've been using all kinds of eye creams, they never work. So I started intermittent fasting 3 months ago and lost 20 ponds. Surprisingly, the under eye dark circles improved for the first time in my life. I started suspecting maybe insulin was the culprit and you just confirmed it. OMG

I’ve had dark circles under my eyes for 15 years. The same time I started gaining weight. It all makes sense now.
