  1. hi! I'm traveling to Dominican republic soon for the holidays and their basic breakfast diet includes green plantains, fried pork (chicharrón) eggs, salami and avocados. so tha sounds pretty. keto to me😅. im so excited

  2. I have been doing my own research on myself regarding resistant starches especially those coming from pasta and potatoes, and what I have found through blood glucose testing 2 hours after taking part in a meal with cooled down potato stored in the fridge at least 24 hours and also pasta 24 hours after cooking is I find that my ketones are not affected nor is my glucose affected. I am now further researching this with PEER- REVIEWED academic reports on EBSCO host.. Bottom line: Everyone is different and we all can do trial and error/success with resistant starches. This is a game changer. I don't have to cut out organically grown potatoes, pasta and rice as long as they're prepared correctly. Also these foods should NEVER be a staple, but they can help someone who feels too restricted.

  3. Growing up 🇯🇲, i know all ground provisions will make me fat if I eat them regularly. They are healthier than eating bread, pasta, or anything with flour but use sparingly. I miss making green banana porridge or boiling them w/ cookup salfish or mackerel.

  4. This is like vegans eating fake meat. Let's just be honest with ourselves. We need a little of everything. If you can't move your body to become more efficient at burning fuel, and can't pick sensible choices, you're going to resort to insane diets like this to lose the weight. Diets like this will kill you. Same goes for fruitariun, raw, meat only, etc. If you're eating these things, they aren't keto. It's impossible to eat starch on keto. Most people will just gain weight. It's not worth it. Eat plain, boring food, and you'll lose weight. Eat some steamed plain veg, add a plain baked potato, and a small portion of unseasoned meat. You'll be satiated, and not wanting to kill your family, and do some cardio. It's good for your organs.

  5. I wish you covered the impact of eating them ripe. I like to wait till they're very ripe and then blend them with milk. It's just as sweet if not sweeter than a banana

  6. I eat regularly boiled smashed green plantain with vegetables, a lot of onions with omelette or tuna steak on the side for my daily breakfast. Because I don't like the taste of bread. So far so good. 42 years old and meds free. Food is our medicine. This is one of our staple food in the Caribbean.

  7. Dr. Berg what can I do with green banana starch as a prebiotic? Can I just drink it with water every day to help with bloating, gut health, and water retention? Thankyou

  8. This explains why East Africans are so thin with low body fat and west Africans tend to carry more body fat. East Africans consume more Green bananas then any other place in the world and they do not fry the bananas in any oil they steam it in banana leaf. They eat this with every meal. Uganda is the largest producer of green bananas in the world. They also tend to eat only when they are hungry, often consuming 1 large meal a day. Thank you Dr. Berg.

  9. Can anyone let me know which has less fructose- a green banana or a plantain? I looked online but the results were mixed. They said plantains are less sweet- yet, appeared to be higher on carbs so I am confused. I like to mix half of one in my homemade almond milk but I am really watching my sugar intake. Otherwise, is there a safer option to add a touch of sweetness to my almond milk that is safe? Any thoughts on ALLULOSE?

    Thanks!

  10. I was hoping to hear about the difference between bananas and plantains from a nutritional perspective. Is the GI of both the same? Does plantain also change that much when cooked? GI wise, that is. I've been hearing that plantains can cure diabetes.
