• Salmon – 4oz. – 410IU

• Sardines – 3oz. - 175IU

• Tuna – 4oz. – 92IU

• Egg - 1 – 42IU

• Cod Liver Oil – 1tbs. – 1360IU

• Beef Liver – 3 1/2 oz. – 30IU

0:00.0	So if you guys have any questions whatsoever about keto or in a minute fasting,
0:04.4	whether you're starting keto as a new person or just need to debug your program or we have a question about a product.
0:10.5	Call one of our keto consultants. They'll be able to help you. Call 5405.7.
0:29.0	Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. The question is can you actually get enough Vitamin D just from your diet from the food that you're eating?
0:50.0	Let's talk about that. Now the RDA's, the dietary recommendation for vitamin D per day is 400 to 800 international units,

1:13.8	So in actuality, these should be a lot higher.
1:17.4	But let's take a look at the foods.

2:03.0	Beef liver, 3.5 ounces, 30 I use, not too much.
2:07.0	Mushrooms, a half a cup is 20 I use, but this is actually an inactive version of Vitamin D2. So that's to convert into D3 and these are all D3. And the conversion is not that great. So the answer is it's extremely difficult if not impossible
2:26.9	to get your vitamin D from just the food. Okay. Now, Sun will give you or may give you a thousand international units per 10 minutes of Sun if you're younger.
