Let’s talk about what would happen if you stopped eating grains for 14 days. Giving up grains for two weeks may even be more beneficial than giving up sugar for two weeks. Not only do grains cause a spike in blood sugar, but they also cause a lot of inflammation.

If you consume refined grains, you create deficiencies of certain nutrients. Although grains in the US are fortified with certain synthetic vitamins, fortified grains are actually not good for your digestive system.

If you give up grains for 2 weeks, you will:
• Take stress off of the heart
• Have more balanced blood sugars
• Increase your absorption of minerals
• Reduce gut inflammation
• Have less bloating
• Have less inflammation
• Have less fluid retention
• Feel calmer and sleep better
• Experience relief if you have Hashimoto’s
• Boost your immune system
• Decrease your exposure to glyphosate

I am an Asian who live in Melbourne. Rice is my staple diet culturally and it is a must for my brain to have rice. These past 2 months avocado had been cheaper in Australia, I happen to like it so much and use it as my "rice" instead. All my symptoms of arteritis has disappeared.

I've been grain-free for only about six days now.
no bloating,
my joints feel better,
I feel much less fatigue,
and my sinuses seem like they are on the way to not being blocked up.

so far so good (I follow a keto diet at the moment)

I no longer eat desserts, very little pasta, very little bread, never eat any corn and use coconut or avocado oil for light sauteing and zero packaged snack foods...I'm still very concerned that the food and chemical industries are poisoning us to death...Thank you Dr Berg for all your hard work and sharing it with all of us...

BTW Dr. Berg, I have been following the information in your videos for the past few months AND.... My cancer antigen count has gone from 344u ml to 60u ml in 9 weeks. WOW! The norm is >38u ml. My Oncologist is amazed. His advice was whatever your doing...keep doing it😃😃😃

Wow, I always thought eating grains were good for digestion, so I ate whole grain cereal and bread for years, and for years, I have suffered from chronic joint inflammation and brain fog. I will start on a grain free diet ASAP and am very angry with myself for not realizing I was doing more harm than good to my system. Thanks Dr. Berg.

I lost 57 lbs in 10 months cutting carbs, feel like a million bucks! Thanks Dr. Berg, your teachings have saved my life! No more meds, headaches and body pain! ❤

It’s amazing how well the human body responds to low carb/keto lifestyle. It’s like it was made for it. I literally out perform people half my age. I’m 40, and being on keto for 3 yrs and avoiding all the crap has transformed me into a solid machine of performance and health. My brother is 2 yrs older than me but looks likes 55. Dr BERG BLESS YOU. You are changing the world with your keto push. 🙏

Thank you Doctor Berg. I am totally off all grains now, and after 3-4 weeks of I.F. I am now doing Alternate Day Fasting and OMAD Keto. I feel so much better. No hunger. I am off sugar completely, including stevia, etc. I'm on my way to reversing diabetes and my blood glucose is under control. Many thanks!

[DebbiePeet]

Thank You Dr. Berg! You are so right about the joints hurting after eating grains. Every time I eat grains or sugar, my joints become inflamed and I'm EVERY TIME!!!! This make so much sense, the grains and sugar are not worth the pain in my

What I could not do in 20 yrs, this video did for me. It convinced my wife to reduce grains as much as possible in the food. Thank you Dr. Berg!

For 12 years I suffered. It began as a weird "micro twitching" in both forearms, spread to both calves. After 10 years, it developed into cramps in my ankles and pain under my feet. I went gluten free and all my symptoms are at least 80% less severe.

[lovelandreikiaromatherapy]

I’ve given up grains for 4 yrs. Finding your videos was the catalyst to saving my life! Thank you for posting these. As a student in alternative medicine, I repost them in class discussion frequently!!

In 2021 I lost 55#'s by embracing low carb/keto and essentially cut out grains. End of the year was a challenge but I'm right back with the program. Goal is to cut another 55# in 2022. One of the biggest learnings was to not stress what I at between Thanksgiving and New Year but to stay focused on what I ate/consumed between New Year and Thanksgiving. Good habits get ingrained. Thanks for your informed presentations.✅

My body never like grains or daily. If I eat bread or pasta or rice I feel like I been full for 1 month my stomach will look like I’m 3 months pregnant and when I don’t eat it my stomach is light. Sweet potatoes and veggies +protein makes my gut happy. I love you Dr your online patient from Canada 🇨🇦 4years you changed my life now I know my body very good. May God bless you🙏🤍

[Stuart_little_]

Lost more than 10 pound in 9 days so far! My family tells me I look like I’m glowing! My skin is no longer red! I’m no longer depressed or foggy! I’m very very very happy with all the changes that have come because of this change in my diet!

If you have troubles ditching carbs you can start by shifting all your carb intake to a single meal a day and then gradually reducing the dose or you can skip every other day. That way you still gonna have huge carbless window each day.

Doctor; Been following you for a while. You are a godsend. Your advice is easy to digest. I started doing intermittent fasting a few years ago, with great success. But when I stopped consuming wheat (bread, cereal, etc), the weight just fell off. My high before If was 217 (I’m 6’ 2”…but slender build). After IF I hovered around 190, but once I stopped wheat products I went down to current level of 170. My vision has improved; actually everything has improved. Thank you!

[lisabudd]

I had gut and brain fog, always bloated ...8 had the idea to stop carbs and it helped .im so glad you clarify my thoughts i had back in the 90s ...my parents thought i was nonsense but it worked i cold function better at school .
I love your blogs, your my favorite dr

[marchellasevilla]

Wow thank you Dr Berg! I started not eating carbs for 5 days now and I actually felt really good not to mention I cut off sugar as well. Now, you made a video about cutting carbs for 2 weeks. I almost gave up last night because I thought I can’t stand without eating carbs. I noticed last night my white coated tongue that I had a problem with for many years and it turns pink. I did not loose my motivation and I’m glad I decided that I would keep going on what I’m doing. It’s so easy to get discouraged. This is what exactly what I need to hear from you and I’m now more motivated than ever. I wanted to thank you so much for all you do. Happy new year!
