I'm a pig. Had to watch my portions. Had to watch calories to. No gallbladder. Too much fat upset my intestines. Found out cramps were caused not enough salt.. I am going to follow your diet dr. Becky. I'm 65 with bad feet plus hypothyroidism and neuropathy . keto suits me lost 20 pounds in 2 months. Thank you
My low carb weight loss has "stalled" but then I really only had 10 more pounds to lose so I'm not going to worry or obsess about those last 10 pounds since I lost 40 pounds quickly and have kept them off for over a year now.
I have been doing a low-carb diet since after the holidays and two months I have lost 20 pounds… For the first time in those two months I’ve put a couple pounds back on… My diet really hasn’t changed it’s been on point the entire time so now just like you said… I have to stay the course… It is very frustrating.
A great video. My rule of thumb with respect to products with 'Keto' on the label is to ignore them.
Thank you for this video today. I have been intermittent fasting for a few months now and feeling great. I am guilty of being a CARB CREEP!!! Not when fasting, only during my 6 hour window. I needed to hear this today. Thank you so much Dr Becky. From Perth, Western Australia.
I've lost almost 67 pounds with low-carb eating, with about 9 more pounds to go to hit goal weight. The two things that have helped me, as an almost 59-year-old woman with a very slow metabolism due to decades of yo-yo dieting, go from losing only 2-3 pounds a month with low-carb to 6-7 pounds a month is adding in intermittent fasting and doing a 1 to 2-day egg fast if I hit a plateau. Works great for me! :)
Wow, awesome results =)
Good for you! What kind of intermittent fasting schedule do you follow?
What’s an egg fast
Thanks!!
@@jeffreymcpeak8535 hahahahaha
Thank you! I stopped losing weight and started to backslide. Now I’m contemplating getting back on the wagon and this video inspires me.
Thank you, Dr. Becky. It does get very frustrating. I know I have to keep doing what I'm doing. I do notice that my clothes are fitting better, so that is a good sign.
Great tips, as per usual DocB! Insulin resistance is real, alive and too well! Thank you for your calm manner and dependable perseverance!💜
I started Keto the first of June. Lost 17 lbs and have stalled the past 3 weeks. I track my macros and have stayed the course. My body has always done this in the past. It is waiting for me to give up. I am determined not to. I do intermittent fasting daily. No fruit, soda, treats. When I ate anything I could maintain this weight. Now I am eating Keto and stay at this weight. Frustrating! I can do this.
Always good, DB. Thanks!
Great encouraging video. I’ve been on keto for three years now and have lost 50lbs.I’m 15 lbs from where I’ve made my goal but I’ve been playing with carbs lately and hence, no weight loss. I commit to getting this done. Thank you for your faithful and informing content. Blessings of restored health to your hubby.
Excellent advice! Straight forward and clear.
Thank you! This video was very informative !💕
Dr Becky. I started watching your videos several months ago as my blood sugar levels were getting to the point that I was headed for insulin shots. Your videos helped me adjust my diet, cutting out most carbs and sugar. I've lost 16 pounds so far and have reduced my need for diabetic meds. My biggest goal was to finally quit smoking and I did. Changing my diet before trying to quit cigarettes helped in achieving that goal. Thank you
Yay!
So much great information here, and in all your videos. Thank you!
Good info how is Dr. Keith it’s been awhile since we have had a update many prayers sent to him and your family.
He is doing well. When we have updates they are found on 2FitDocs TH-cam channel under the Community tab
@@beckygillaspy I never paid attention to the Community Tab. Thanks for telling us. So glad he's doing OK. My husband and I are both pulling for his full recovery.
@@beckygillaspy The community tab is only available on a PC….not on tablets or smart phones. Maybe you can arrange to have updates pinned on the last video you posted 8 months ago. I’ve gone so far as to Google his obituary to find out what’s happening. I’m happy to see this comment as I now can rest assured that he’s still with us. Bless you both 🇨🇦❤️
Excellent explanation of that initial big drop that often boomerangs around and discourages people. Thank you for the awesome video.
Thank you kindly Dr Becky. I pray that you, Dr Keith and your family are well. 🙏❤️fr Canada
This makes a lot of since the carb creep you explained it very will, Thank you Dr. Becky.
This is one of the best an informative videos I have watched because it answered nearly all of my questions I was having during my weight loss journey...that I could not find clear answers anywhere else.
Love your content and delivery Dr Becky!! 👏🏻💪🏻
PLEASE do a video addressing “digestion resistant maltodextrin”.
Thanks for the great advice. Am on the right track.
Very good information. Thanks
Thank you, Dr Gillaspy. I appreciate your channel so much! I have been KETO for almost 3 years now. I lost 60 lbs the first year, and have maintained for over a year and a half. Not gaining, but not losing either. I still have about 50 lbs to lose. I have recently seen some info on a Protein Sparing Modified Fast (PSMF) and would love to see you do a video on your thoughts in doing this short term, to jump through a stall and finally get to goal weight. Then, maintaining on KETO. Thanks!
I was doing better but I fell and re-injured my back! Trying to get back in the swing of my healthy life path. I did a low carb pasta substitute meal last night… so good. I love your support for helping everyone!
Great video Dr B!
Great information!
dr becky.. you are a really good teacher and I admire your thorough knowledge of the science of nutrition
Thank you. I have been listening and incorporating what i have learned from you for 8 months and almost effortlessly have lost weight.
Dr Becky I think this is one of your best videos - you make such a boring mundane yet highly important subject easy to grasp .
Dr Becky you are the best, your strategy is simple to follow and genius at the same time. Truly effective. Big thanks, you are helping me change a great deal
Fruit is high in sugar. Sugar spikes insulin, insulin blocks fat burning. So why are we eating fruit?
My weight stalled after only a few pounds. I've been watching net carbs😲. I'll watch Total Carbs going forward and see if that helps. THANKS SO MUCH!!
Thank you for sharing Dr Becky. You're God's sent. Thanks again ❤️❤️
Dr. Becky: a true beauty!
Thanks... Dr Becky
Thank you very helpful!!
Great advise...thank you.
Great presentation! Thank you Dr. Becky for your help. I have a question, for those with slow metabolism and risk of stalling risk, what are choices of foods following a 72 hours fasting?
simple explanation, thanks
My weight loss stalled but I think it's because my body wants to be at this weight. I'm about 10 pounds from my goal so I'm not disappointed. Eating keto has taught me a lot about eating right and cutting out junk.
Same here
I've had this same thought.
Having Digestive Issues like Constipation. Having an under active thyroid and taking oral contraception is what is slowing down my weight loss. Not to mention that in the evening I have terrible sugar cravings that I find very difficult to resist.
Thank you
Thanks 🔥
explained simple for every one, especially the insulin explaination.
Thanks Becky.....I have slowed and your tips here are going to help me ....I’m 76 so have slow metabolism, I’m sure
Thanku mam u r amazing I like ur videos so much they always informative and helpful to everyone 👍🙏 pls is there diet plan for vegetarian of low carb and high fat moderate protein
You are a food guru gem!
Hey doctor Becky, I was so pleased to stumble across your video today, that worries me that I don't see Keith in the video, I hope all is well me and my lady or shredded as heck 52 years old 1330 days with no carbohydrates at all whatsoever.. meat and Eggs only
He is doing well! We've posted updates on our 2FitDocs channel >>Community tab
Great video - thank you! What do you recommend as the amount of total carbs a person should eat per day?
Hi cruisepuppy, I have videos on carbs for low-carb and keto diets that you can find by going to my channel page or searching on TH-cam.
Good info, think I need to lighten up on the keto snacks 🚫🍫🍬🍦
keto snacks has likely been my problem - purging my home of them now.
this was a great video, after losing 103lbs in ten months I got lazy and 20lbs crept back on me. Now I'm at a stall.
My big takeaways from this is to: 1) count TOTAL carbs, not net carbs. 2) REMEMBER CALORIES STILL COUNT!
Thanks, Doc!
It isn't my fault. It's the carb creep! 😏❤
Anytime I "level out" more than I liked, it meant I wasn't pushing enough and a real suffering workout is called for... Years ago when I dropped from 460 to 350, I was stuck at 350 for what seemed like forever... but I was just doing the normal regiment that got me there over and over... It was at this point I started running really big hills and jogging 7 miles instead of 4-5... Boom, that got me down to 300 in 5 months... going 300 down to 250 was insanity... running on a stairmaster, exploding the resistance mechanism off spinning bikes doing hill climbs in spinning class, mountain running, and mountain climbing (Yes, I ran up a mountain and yelled "DRAGO!"... And hanging out with people training for half ironman's and stuff... What I'm saying here is pain will break the stall too...
Tendonitis will let you know if you are doing too much...
How do you always know the exact video I need to see? =)
Hi Dr. When on keto, do we count only the net carbs of a product? Or do we need to worry if it contains any sugar too? Ex: tomato sauce, mayo. I've seen many products that show NO ADDED sugar yet, the ingredients show
Thanks Dr. Becky. Carbs are definitely my weakness. What fruits would you recommend
She has a list at 7:15
Ya, 0 sugar, then they add maltodextrin which is twice as high (bad) as sugar.
Thanks Bob the welder
Thank you
Can you please do a video about
organic milk or yoghurt
eating food, any kind of food, makes me hungry so i decided i needed to do 20/4 intermittent fasting.. try to time it so i am finished 2 hours before u go to sleep.. i do "kinda" keto, i try for about 10 gr carbs that i know of, so there are another 10 gr available for sneaky carbs... But carbs from onions, green peppers, zucchini, broccoli, and other safe and healthy vegetables, i dont really count those.. maybe i should?
my main goal is sugar control, weight loss is secondary... my neuropathy is so much better, almost non-existent.. so good on that :) so many other pains and troubles have disapeared so really i am very happy with my results...
trouble is that i am not losing weight, 2.5 months and only lost half a pound.. i only want to lost 20 pounds and as i said it is secondary ... but i dont get it, maybe its the onions and green peppers? i thought if i was fasting there would be no insulin during that time, regardless of what i ate during my feeding window??
My daughter listen your vedios for Sleeping
The cause of my weight loss stalled was sweeteners... AVOID that garbage, in my case was stevia.
Dr. Becky, What is your opinion of how diet sodas affect your weight loss on a Keto diet?
Sweeteners have an effect on your insulin - just stay away from them. They are not good for you, anyhow. Water, tea, herbal teas (my favourite is fennel/camomile tea - I prepare a big pot in the morning, water it down 1:1 with tap water and drink it all day) coffee. Lemon and ginger in your water also makes it more interesting. Just stay away from industrially processed foods and drinks and added chemicals)
Do intermintein fasting kills cancer cell?
Can u add a B12 difficency diet. Can whole fat cow milk slow weight loss process
I am doing low carb and have stalled. How do I know how many calories to consume.? I am 65 and work 5-6 days a week. The work is physically demanding. I wonder if I need to eat more than 1200 calories on those days.
Beware of food in a box I guess. Best to eat real food.
Ok type 1 diabetic having a bit of trouble losing weight… loads of stress…drink…can you help?
How do you know if your insulin resistant?
I am male and have been on IF and keto for 4 months and have had several stalls. My latest has me in a range of 184-180 for 3 weeks. My A1C is 4.6 keto avg 1.5-3.2 but I can’t seem to break below 180. Carbs have been below 20 per day during the 3 week period.
Try dumping carbs altogether see if that helps
I had no problem losing the weight but I may of loss too much. I'm 6' 70 years old. Went from 190 + to 160.
Any video or tips on gaining about 10 pounds and maybe some muscle the healthy way?
Thanks

I wish I could give you 10 of mine 😂
@@EssenceofCoils LOL me too.
Have you tried weights to bulk up muscle mass
@@katywuste9054 Not very often but I am very active, I walk a lot and do a lot of yard work. I'm out side a lot. I should use some weights more often.
@@1thinkhealthy Have to increased your protein intake to try and get more muscle? You sound very fit
I stopped smoking 5 years ago and what a total waste of time it was, because I now cannot summon the motivation to shift all the weight I put on, even though I'm insulin resistant/prediabetic and have heart valve disease. Stuck as closely as I could to LCHF and followed 16:8 intermittent fasting to the letter this week, but by today felt literally weak at the knees and only eating some carbs resolved it. And for all this, I only lost a measly 2 pounds which I will have probably put back on again by tomorrow. I could have lost 2 pounds just by counting calories instead of the torture of denying myself carbs. I would normally expect to have lost at least 4 pounds in my first week. I really can't see me being able to stick to LCHF any longer as I can't face life without carbs. And surely eating a lot of fat is going to ramp up the calorie intake. I've been on the diet doctor website and they advise against counting calories. Very confusing to have different people saying different things. I've tried every diet under the sun and none have lasted, this is just one more.
Sick to death of being told l shouldn't eat this and I can't eat that - and most of the recipes on the diet doctor website look disgusting, like something the dog's dragged in. Maybe they need a better food photographer, lol!
I think I'd rather go back to enjoying my food, if it means having a shorter life expectancy, so be it.
Why don't you just do IF. Begin 17:7, go to 19:5.
@@n.s.5278 With IF I would just be replacing obsession with what I eat to what time I eat, watching anxiously for the clock to reach the time at which my fast ends. No thanks, it's just another con like keto, LCHF and every other diet. And I'd end up eating twice as much as if I just stuck to 3 meals a day. My dieting days are over. It's time to do myself a favour and just eat what I want when I want. It will be less stressful. I'd rather have a shorter life and be contented than a longer miserable life.
My Glucose is 87, ketones 2.2 eat only Meat and butter, bacon, eggs. WATER. 1st. Week lost 6 lbs. Since then only dropped 2lbs. Keep going. Up and down give ot take 1 to 2 lbs!!!!!!!!
I do not know what to do!!! Becoming very frustrated!! Have fasted even 3 days...still no change. I could scream !!!! Help
So how many total carbs per day to lose weight?
I have 50g max and about 2000 calories per day. I do intermittent fasting 18:6 and have lost 3 stones in 5 months. I eat high fat, moderate protein and low carbs. I try to walk 5-10,000 steps per day and feel and look so much better
A ladylike woman you are a salient lecturer as well 🌺🌺

@@MarkSmith-js2pu yes she is beautiful and smart as well
You mentioned your 1,2,3 plan was free. I googled it and found a product that is $37. Is there a free version? I am 61 yrs old and am doing almost everything to the letter and I am literally staying on one scale number with zero movement. 10 yrs ago I did this diet and the weight fell off at 1-2 pounds a week easily with no hunger. I am doing literally exactly the same thing now and the weight literally does not move. Over the last few years, I put on all that weight I lost. I know why but am perplexed at to why it is not working now. I refuse to keep pouring $$$ into everyone online only to get the same results which is literally a stuck scale number and huge frustration.
All diets are a big con and not worth spending actual money on. People end up relapsing and then putting back on the lost weight and more besides. Do yourself a favour and give it up. You might find the weight comes off without that voice in your ear saying don't eat this, don't eat that and lecturing you 24/7.
It might be possible that chocolate stalled my weight loss, but that is only a guess.
How can I check if my insulin is high?
Doctors can do it but usually won't. I guess it's not to easy. Typically they will measure glucose (HbA1c) which generally correlates with insulin.
They can do a fasting insulin level. You can have normal glucose with high insulin levels!!!
@@katywuste9054 yep

Do you support the Huskers Dr. Becky? I can see the rug in front of your door.
Yep! Go Big Red!
@@beckygillaspy Yes Ma'am!!! GBR!!!
Keto is good but is not true that if you elevate insulin you cannot burn fat. Eat 500 calorie of pure sugar every day for a week and you will lose a lot of weight.
How is your husband doing?

Melons are a lot higher than her list showed
Carb Creep yup……AKA CHEATING. Yup.
There's nowhere mentioning refeeding to help combat weight loss stall? This video assumes that you are cheating on carb as a reason for not losing any weight, these advices aren't helpful at all in my case. Refeeding is the key to break the weight loss stall, I'm surprised that this is not discussed at all.
Starvation is the only way. Stinks!!!
How is your Husban?
