@@susank580 You bet! Once you get the fat level right, the absence of hunger is pretty immediate. My brain does try to make me think it NEEDS food in the morning, but the truth is, my blood sugar level is stable and I have no physical signs of hunger, just a desire to eat. Learning that they aren't the same thing has been one of the biggest hurdles.

Sir, Your testimony is encouraging to me. May ask how you started and what types of meals you ate and how often? Congratulations on the weight lose. I hope you’ve continued making positive strides.
@@1865Cowboy saw your questions and wanted to encourage you with my own story. T2 diabetic, off all meds, now stable A1c. Two years keto. Eat non-starchy vegetables and good quality meat or fish. Add healthy fats. Try to tighten up the eating window to extend the time between meals, with goal of getting to just one meal per day. Good luck to you!!
@@critter4004, Thank you for your response. Sounds like you are making some healthy and positive strides. Congratulations getting off of all the pharma and for reversing the Type II diabetes. I’ve switched up diet, more proteins, Salmon, and trying to stay away from the sweets. I have failed some days, but am successful most days. I’ve incorporated more green vegetables, but am looking to ramp up even more. I’m playing with fresh vs frozen veggies. Frozen are more convenient. Anyway. Thank you again and God Speed.
Something that’s helped me tremendously and that I continue to incorporate is having one whole large mashed avocado mixed with a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder and a few drops of liquid stevia (I use NOW brand organic non GMO liquid stevia). This “dessert bowl” as I call it is the very last thing I consume in the day, and not only does it taste delicious and provide awesome nutrients, it is totally satisfying to my senses and also sustains me well into the following day; I don’t feel hungry until around 4PM. I hope this helps someone.
Nice tip, though I'm overall dealing with teh hunger pretty well already and I'm only in my second week or so I still might try this. To Amber I'm not sure if they have her exact brand but I did see liquid stevia at Whole Foods the other day, didn't pick any up at the time though.
Amber, I order it from amazon (it costs around $17 for 8 fl.oz. which lasts a very long time). I’ve also seen it in-store available at Fresh Thyme supermarket (if you have one in your area) and Heinen’s (again, if you have those stores).
I just left a keto group because one of the admins wanted to argue with me about fasting... She says you have to eat to be fat adapted and eat to stay in ketosis- I say if not hungry-why eat at all? I learned that from you dr berg!
But first on the period of adaptation you need to eat more fat at least 2weeks and then you can start fasting don't forget yo salt and magnesium ➡️🦸keto and if is tremendously powerful😉
Unless she is worried that you are too thin already, or are in danger of getting an eating disorder. I don't know you, of course, it's just a wild guess of her motives: everybody who fasts must surely know that it is exactly when body goes into ketosis: we burn first fat stores during (In this case, simulated) fat storage and then the body starts eating muscle. That's why too restricted diet is harmful. Yo-yo diets are usually like that. They also cause you to put on MORE weight once you start eating appropriate amount of calories.
It's funny, I was ALWAYS hungry (type 2 Diabetic). I started a 45 hour fast then keto and now I feel the need to eat, not the feeling of being hungry. I agree, If I'm not hungry I don't eat. However that may change when I get my weight down a bit more.
you helped me a lot..i dont usually comment on videos this is my first one..started keto diet on May 7 and weight-in today 23rd i lost 8kg..i tried everything before i mean everything including phentermine..but all didn’t work and cost me a lot and thousands of money on their program. But this....keto really works. I thank God for your purpose in this life which is to help others like me suffering from this problem. Thanks Dr Berg.

Dr. Berg , at first I was so scared of eating fats but I realised something was terribly wrong when my high protein and vegetables diet weren't helping me to lose weight. I'm on my second month of keto diet and IF and I've lost 18 pounds. your videos helped me. thank you for sharing.
well done, Protein mislead my for 2years, was eating -20g carbs a day but still failing with no energy , it was so hard at work. Now third week in and im having better energy already.
Thank you Dr. Berg. I find your videos inspiring as I lean into my Keto Diet efforts at age 68. I found this type of information very helpful as I know I have not yet achieved burning fat for fuel. I have seen a remarkable reduction in my system wide inflammation that (was scary) including 4 months of a swollen knee. I have known to stay off or low key sugar and alcohol for decades, but did previously not know I was feeding my inflammation w carbs until I took a carb break. Your video clip showing us that big doughy ball of gluten really impressed me with your message and helped me on my inflammation insights. Studying your other video clips along with other Keto info. sources is inspiring me to reach farther into my health options. You and Thomas Delauer are my favorites along with Mercola's Fat for Fuel book. Loved the message in your "Biggest Secrets in the Keto Universe" (awesome bigger picture viewpoint!) Thanks for Being You!
Started 2017 with KETO. Then added IF (2 KETO meals daily) after 4 months. Went through intense keto adaptation. But I made it through 2017. Decided to start 2018 with Keto + OMAD(one keto meal a day) KETO + IF or KETO + OMAD does wonders for our attention span, focus, rationality, stamina and self confidence.
Chiranjeevi C Try getting used to an OMAD first. It must be fasting 23 hours daily with nothing in between. Black coffee/tea is allowed. Try OMAD for at least 4 months. 120 days. Google & TH-cam to get OMAD recipes & weekly OMAD planner. Word of caution- get someone to prepare your OMAD meals. Once you are able to handle OMAD, then it's time to change your diet to Keto + OMAD.
Chiranjeevi C that's good. It will be good to know what your OMAD consists of. The first step into KETO OMAD is to VERY GRADUALLY "remove" the carbs in your OMAD. I need to stress the VERY GRADUAL element here. Again, to highlight, it will be good if you have or arrange your meals to be prepared by someone. The easiest carbs to remove first are fruits, sugar, grains, dairy & dessert/snacks element that may currently be in your OMAD. After removing these elements, you need to assess if you really can maintain your OMAD with fasting of 23 hours daily. Allow your body about a week to tell you. Caution- if you are unable to get at least 8 hours of sleep daily, please do not attempt KETO OMAD. Switch back to OMAD. Rearrange your life priorities and look for ways on how to achieve 8 hours sleep daily. After a week, If you can continue to Keto OMAD & 8hours of sleep daily without fruits, sugar, grains, dairy, dessert & snacks, then you can proceed to remove one main carbohydrate portion of your meal, eg- either rice or chapati or bread. Rule of thumb- once you remove these elements, you may experience a new type of "early sleepiness" & daytime drowsiness. This will last for between 2-3 days. It's very important to pay attention to this and sleep ASAP. It is at this point that you need to start adding fat into your OMAD, like butter, nuts, sesame oil, coconut oil, ghee etc. As I mentioned earlier, Its very important to sleep early & get long hours of sleep during this period. You may even develop severe running nose, cough, plenty of phlegm etc along with the sleepiness & drowsiness. But it's ok. Just rest, plenty of clear fluids etc. After 2-3 days, you will be better. Do let me know after a week. Thank you.
@Dr. Berg, dude u r amazing!!! From 124 kgs, lost 12 kgs in just 5 weex. Aim is to get to 80kgs. Doing OMAD. No pain, no hunger. Just energy through out the whole day. LOVE from New Zealand😀.
Dr. Berg genuinely saved my life. Explaining the cause of illness and advising for (natural cure) is what I call a REAL DOCTOR. I thank you with all my heart.
Thank you Dr Berg. I've been following your advice through the videos for a few months now. I look slimmer, feel great and have a much sharper mind now. Good work👍
Thank you Dr. Berg. I am very happy to go on this diet I am already losing weight and the oils really helped with controlling my appetite. When I used to eat a lot of carbs I was hungry all day long. But now I am intermittent fasting and I’m actually able to do it it’s very amazing. Anyway I am listening to your videos and it’s very helpful. I am also glad to know that I can include vegetables on my diet because once I went on keto a long time ago but I had quit because I wasn’t eating any vegetables for some reason I did it wrong. But now that I am listening to the videos I am learning how to balance everything and I am trying intermittent fasting for the first time.I was really not sure if I could do it but you know what I did I’m really amazed. There are times that I don’t even start eating until one or 2 PM and that’s a big thing for me wow. The oils really help this is a great diet. I look forward to learning more by watching more videos.
Thank you Dr Berg... Just want to state that I am very proud of anyone doing this fasting and intermittent fasting before you get really ill. I waited until I expierenced the 8 ball rolling over me. Am doing it now and am benefiting greatly. Luck to everyone out there 😊
Dr Berg sums it up perfectly. No longer do I listen to hour long podcasts. These informative short "grabs" are the way to go & if you want more he gives you links to click on. Genius!
Week 4 and feeling like a different human being. Keto has given me the energy to get up at 3am every morning, do yoga, meditate, I'm back at the gym and my god a much happier person. Need to incorporate more salad as I have been counting those carbs, but I also don't eat dairy or meat so pretty much plant based with the addition of fish and occasionally eggs- my body is much happier that way :) Good luck all ketoers, you got this! :)
TENKARA you shouldn't fast longer than 12 hours in the beginning phase of keto. You are training the body in what to choose as fuel (fat)...you need to consume fatty food until you reach fat adaptation. THEN you can do longer fasts. Otherwise your body will consume lean mass (your muscles) for fuel. Also, you will lose hair. Follow a logical plan for nutritional ketosis!! Don't simply starve.
Yep- what they said... I was tempted to do that too, but realized it probably was not sensible... You have to be nice to your body, not pull it through the knothole 😌
I've JUST started a keto diet - cold turkey - and have found that MCT oil makes it really easy to fast! I'm at OMAD after three days, because MTC oil really curbs urges to eat. Before keto, I was hungry all the time, and craved sugar all day and evening! I'm astounded at my curbed appetite! However, I'm feeling a bit strange in this transition, (Keto Flu) but will power through it.
Always start my 24 hour fast around 12 noon. Eat OMAD for 5 days. Tend to break ketosis on weekends. Only doing this diet to help my ckd. Was 152 lbs. Now I'm 124 lbs. Crazy weight loss. But I do love the peaks in energy compares to carbs.
No one (not just on You Tube or ANY 'media') is w/in 100 miles of this rock star! Clear, crisp, concise, cuts to the chase (aka cracks the code!) & non pitchy and very likeable. Followed (corporate useless burp) Jillian Michaels for months before discovering a REAL whip smart pro w/ Dr Berg! Biggest gem new follow! Dude is SO good and selfless hope the corporate snakes in the media and nutrition industry don't try to take his channel down! lol
The best tip I found was to drink salt water . I was really hungry under IF in spite of everything listed. However, I did a 3 day fast (the 2nd day was hard) and I don't know why but it killed my insane cravings. I start the day with electrolytes, a cup of coffee and then have one meal in the late afternoon. (unless I visit my parents.) I exercise a lot as well - that is no problem either
Wish I found you and Dr. Fung sooner. So many people claim to know Keto BUT are not well versed or doing it accurately. I've been doing your keto and IF and have dropped 10 pounds in 2 weeks. Keto and IF are a way of life. Looking forward to the remaining 60 pounds to be off.
Another useful video lesson from Dr. Berg! I'm so thankful to all those previous ones which turned my life into keto/IF one... Feeling great! 🤩 Keep the good work! 🙏
This is my 6th week on Keto/IF and suddenly I've stopped progressing after losing inches from my waist every single week and losing pounds. Thanks for breaking down the system so that understand better how to bet out of the plateu I'm now.
How much did you used to weight and how much do you weight now? If you are already at a normal bf%, maybe you need to start adding some HIIT sessions and if you already do, do more sessions per week ;)
Hi doctor Berg, I started Keto diet one week before, now my body is in ketosis with current reading of ketones ~8.0 (purple) strip. I am still facing keto adaptation with fatiuge and headaches. If you can upload a video which tell about how much of ketone reading is good at different stages of keto diet, that will be very helpful to track my progress. I have hypothyroidism so it was very difficult for me to loose weight. Your videos have inspired and helped me understand my condition better. I find keto diet perfect for me. Thank you.
I don't know if Dr. Berg agrees, but in my experience, if you increase protein in the beginning, the body will push the lower limit of glucose levels up a bit. Conversion of protein into glucose doesn't happen right after you eat. It takes many hours before that starts and it lasts many hours as well, maintaining glucose levels a bit higher, easily untill you first meal after 18 hours of fasting. This helps a lot in not feeling hungry. Ofcource , once you're through the transition and are fully fat adapted, you need to reduce protein intake to the correct level.
Peter Faber Totally agree! When the goal is to get into ketosis, it's better to eat a good amount of protein for the first 4 days, once in ketosis that can then be lowered. Unless one is also trying to achieve Autophagy, in which case it's better to just live with the hunger the first few days. As autophagy doesn't work after 4 days, but only seems to work best if cycling in & out of ketosis every week. Also when in ketosis, if using ketostix & they stop work it means you are now fully Keto adapted!!
Also if I buy like a 500g / a lb of ground beef mince & fry it in some oil with a tsp of spices. Then blend it up into a soup with a can of chopped tomatoes, I can eat that in the morning for breakfast and not desire to eat again until the next day!!! And the Macros are like just under 100g of protein, 13g of net carbs & just about 100g of fat.
Excellent advice, i'm doing this for a few years now. if i want te get adapted back after recarb. i drink ACV + lemon, fat cheese and sausage combined with multi vitamin and chicken broth. This works for me every time and i'm in keto after 4 days. (check with ketostix + bloodtest) Then i change my diet to eggs 'nd bacon w. cheese in the morning and BBQ(all meats and a lot of fatty mayo) + non starchy vegatables as a second meal with a tablespoon of MCT, MV, ACV + lemon. Great to see others are taking this more serious, while not describing it as a diet from hell. greets P.
Two weeks in. Planning the meals and preparation helps me through the low energy days when my head is in a total fog. Writing in a journal everyday is good, it keeps me on tract. Also, i am having fewer headaches, and starting to notice some physiological changes....slowly but surely.
Thanks for this info, I have benefited already a lot from your videos. I live in Germany, I hope it will be possible in the near future to access more of your offers
Started today...10/12/20. I need all the support I can get. So tired of being worried about my declining health and depressed about my appearance. I gotta break this carb addiction! 😓
I find that when you do clean healthy keto from the beginning, I noticed that after a month and half.. my appetite decreased drastically and I automatically went on IF without even noticing it because im not hungry. And when I do eat.. I eat like normal but not as much as I used to when I first started.. my meals always consist of high fat food, vege.. then im full.. i went from 4 coffees a day to 2 coffees a day and sometimes 1... and again it wasnt planned like this at all as i just dont feel like having it. But i do have around 11am or 12pm braggs ACV, wheat grass, salmon oil, selenium and potassium citrate with water and coffee.. maybe i have a small breakfast/lunch.. and then i dont eat till 9pm.. and then the next day.. around the same time.. its almost like a routine..
I'm on my second round of Keto. I lost 50 pounds. Stopped doing Keto around the holidays, but still did IF. I gained a few pounds back, trying to make it to my goal weight. I counted calories 1200-1400 while doing keto and IF. I am wondering if I should not count calories this go around. I hit a plateau, which was discouraging. My highest weight was 209, currently at 163, lowest weight is was 157, goal weight is 155-150. Height 5'1. Can't really go lower in calories to break plateau. I started off just walking, now I am going to the gym 3 times a week.
I'm becoming vegan keto... I have a lot of problems right now... Insulin resistance, adrenal fatigue, high estrogen... I'm on antidepressants and have a history of extreme anorexia, purging, and bingeing.. I'm 30, my cortisol is through the roof.. Totally caffeine addicted. It's going to be an interesting journey... I'll vlog it all and hopefully help people the way you are helping me.. Pay it forward xxx
I purchased at a yard sale of all places a powder drink called hydro surge by Nordic Clinical. It is high in nutrients and has 1 carb per serving. It helped me so much on my first day of keto!
Omg idk how to explain but it's my first day of IF! By mistake did a lots of protein yesterday night! Then felt terrible because of the insulin spike today morning! Yet today did fasting and had only fats whenever hungry! Drank a little green tea and a little salt together! And right now still doing fasting! Hunger has gone and feeling much better! Emotional tolerability came and irritability gone away!! If I never found Dr. Berg then my life would never had changed!! I'm just laughing and feeling happy dunno how to explain! Enjoying this beautiful life so much! Thank you so much Dr. Berg! You saved million lives!
They say chocolate helps with menstrual cycle gravings, so try adding pure cocoa powder into the thickest cream you can get or Bulgarian live yoghurt (good for gut bacteria) I also find cinnamon, mint and liquorice root tea helps. But liquorice is naturally sweet, even though your cuppa contains zero camories:I believe that at initial stage mere sweet taste can increase insulin in some people, which is why even zero calorie sweeteners are iffy. It's better to slowly reduce the sweetness altogether. Warnings: 1. Liquorice raises blood pressure so watch out if you already have a high blood pressure. 2. Cinnamon does lower blood pressure but it is also a neurotoxin so should be used in moderation. Normal use is harmless for most people; I used to put quite a lot of it into my porridge as well as drinking a 2 - 6 cups of tea several days in the row.
I have tried so many different keto diet programs in the past, but nothing has ever worked for me. I feel like I am always hungry and my cravings are out of control. I started using HyperKeto a few months ago and it's made keto easy, sustainable, & even enjoyable! The food is high quality and there are no restrictions on what you
I am just starting the Keto diet. Well been working out the kinks now for a couple of weeks. This is my 1st week doing good and officially on Keto eating plan. How long will it take me to get to ketosis?
I have the hardest time with eating fats. I am 53 and was always thin, till menopause and major stress hit my life. Then I gained 30 pds mostly in my mid section. ( couldn't even look in mirror) . But a month into keto and IF, I am not perfect in the keto, but learning. I didn't realize how my diet consisted of carbs more then anything till now. I never was a huge meat eater. Anyways , I never felt better. I drink this Welltopia, Menoslim Tea and eat only twice a day. Down 10 pds...😊. Thank you Dr Berg, you were God sent!!
I am finally getting it. Down 17 lbs in 3 weeks so far and I feel amazing. Joint pain? GONE. Limping? GONE. Puffy face? GONE. Energy and wellbeing? SOARING.
Did you stop feeling hungry between meals during IF? If so, after how long?
@@susank580 When I got my fat intake high enough hunger stopped being a thing. If you are hungry, add more fat.

Started 2017 with KETO. Then added IF (2 KETO meals daily) after 4 months.
Went through intense keto adaptation.
But I made it through 2017.
Decided to start 2018 with Keto + OMAD(one keto meal a day)
KETO + IF or KETO + OMAD does wonders for our attention span, focus, rationality, stamina and self confidence.
I am on OMAD since a month but not keto,i am curious to know what you include in your ketogenic diet.
Chiranjeevi C Try getting used to an OMAD first. It must be fasting 23 hours daily with nothing in between. Black coffee/tea is allowed. Try OMAD for at least 4 months. 120 days. Google & TH-cam to get OMAD recipes & weekly OMAD planner. Word of caution- get someone to prepare your OMAD meals. Once you are able to handle OMAD, then it's time to change your diet to Keto + OMAD.
Ananth Arunasalam I have been following OMAD since 50 days bro
Chiranjeevi C that's good. It will be good to know what your OMAD consists of.
The first step into KETO OMAD is to VERY GRADUALLY "remove" the carbs in your OMAD.
I need to stress the VERY GRADUAL element here.
Again, to highlight, it will be good if you have or arrange your meals to be prepared by someone.
The easiest carbs to remove first are fruits, sugar, grains, dairy & dessert/snacks element that may currently be in your OMAD.
After removing these elements, you need to assess if you really can maintain your OMAD with fasting of 23 hours daily. Allow your body about a week to tell you.
Caution- if you are unable to get at least 8 hours of sleep daily, please do not attempt KETO OMAD.
Switch back to OMAD.
Rearrange your life priorities and look for ways on how to achieve 8 hours sleep daily.
After a week, If you can continue to Keto OMAD & 8hours of sleep daily without fruits, sugar, grains, dairy, dessert & snacks, then you can proceed to remove one main carbohydrate portion of your meal, eg- either rice or chapati or bread.
Rule of thumb- once you remove these elements, you may experience a new type of "early sleepiness" & daytime drowsiness.
This will last for between 2-3 days.
It's very important to pay attention to this and sleep ASAP.
It is at this point that you need to start adding fat into your OMAD, like butter, nuts, sesame oil, coconut oil, ghee etc.
As I mentioned earlier, Its very important to sleep early & get long hours of sleep during this period.
You may even develop severe running nose, cough, plenty of phlegm etc along with the sleepiness & drowsiness. But it's ok. Just rest, plenty of clear fluids etc. After 2-3 days, you will be better.
Do let me know after a week.
Thank you.
Ananth Arunasalam are you Tamilan ? I am Tamilan bro
from Bangalore
@Dr. Berg, dude u r amazing!!! From 124 kgs, lost 12 kgs in just 5 weex. Aim is to get to 80kgs. Doing OMAD. No pain, no hunger. Just energy through out the whole day. LOVE from New Zealand😀.
How did you eat enough good fats during the first few days ? I am starving with carb cravings on my second day.
Dr. Berg genuinely saved my life. Explaining the cause of illness and advising for (natural cure) is what I call a REAL DOCTOR. I thank you with all my heart.
Coconut water can have 600mgs of potassium which can help a lot but check the carbs on different brands.
There's sugar in coconut water i stop drinking it, even the fresh coconut water has sugar 😭
@@imdancingforever5215 but the coconut itself have little, just don't drink it water
You can do water kefir with coconut water, Kefir will consume the sugar and add some extra probiotic.
Thank you Dr Berg. I've been following your advice through the videos for a few months now. I look slimmer, feel great and have a much sharper mind now.
Good work👍
Thank you Dr. Berg. I am very happy to go on this diet I am already losing weight and the oils really helped with controlling my appetite. When I used to eat a lot of carbs I was hungry all day long. But now I am intermittent fasting and I’m actually able to do it it’s very amazing. Anyway I am listening to your videos and it’s very helpful. I am also glad to know that I can include vegetables on my diet because once I went on keto a long time ago but I had quit because I wasn’t eating any vegetables for some reason I did it wrong. But now that I am listening to the videos I am learning how to balance everything and I am trying intermittent fasting for the first time.I was really not sure if I could do it but you know what I did I’m really amazed. There are times that I don’t even start eating until one or 2 PM and that’s a big thing for me wow. The oils really help this is a great diet. I look forward to learning more by watching more videos.
This info really helped me! I'm doing some IF right now and I didn't realize I needed to consume fat instead of protein when I get hunger attacks
Totally agree 33 weeks into this I find Keto and IF work hand in hand,,,kinda like a good marriage,,,
Irfan Khan What is a Keto diet and how can it be combined with IF??
I wish I knew what a good marriage felt like!
Me Too.
Thank you Dr Berg... Just want to state that I am very proud of anyone doing this fasting and intermittent fasting before you get really ill. I waited until I expierenced the 8 ball rolling over me. Am doing it now and am benefiting greatly. Luck to everyone out there 😊
A very timely on point video for me. Thank you! This video answers my question of the last few days...which to do first!...BOTH, thanks
Starting again - appreciate all these videos! You’re efforts save lives...
Dr Berg sums it up perfectly. No longer do I listen to hour long podcasts. These informative short "grabs" are the way to go & if you want more he gives you links to click on. Genius!
It’s worked for me and I’m spreading the word to everyone I know. I feel like the IF & Keto warrior!
Same... 📢 😄
You are KING of Keto, Thank you for your time.
Week 4 and feeling like a different human being. Keto has given me the energy to get up at 3am every morning, do yoga, meditate, I'm back at the gym and my god a much happier person. Need to incorporate more salad as I have been counting those carbs, but I also don't eat dairy or meat so pretty much plant based with the addition of fish and occasionally eggs- my body is much happier that way :) Good luck all ketoers, you got this! :)
Dr. Berg you are my Keto Sensei... thank you!
My first two days on keto with intermittent fasting, I fasted for 18 hours, 19 hours, tomorrow I'm going to see if I can go 24 hours.
TENKARA you shouldn't fast longer than 12 hours in the beginning phase of keto. You are training the body in what to choose as fuel (fat)...you need to consume fatty food until you reach fat adaptation. THEN you can do longer fasts.
Otherwise your body will consume lean mass (your muscles) for fuel.
Also, you will lose hair.
Follow a logical plan for nutritional ketosis!! Don't simply starve.
Yes, Do it Slowly.
Not all at Once.
Yep- what they said...
I was tempted to do that too, but realized it probably was not sensible...
You have to be nice to your body, not pull it through the knothole 😌
Don't listen to these guys you don't need to be adapted at all fast away
Did the same too , it's amazing, I'm doing omad now and I feel great
Not sure if it was your intent but your short, informative videos are perfect to watch in between sets at the gym. I love 'em!
Thank you 🙏 will try
I've JUST started a keto diet - cold turkey - and have found that MCT oil makes it really easy to fast! I'm at OMAD after three days, because MTC oil really curbs urges to eat. Before keto, I was hungry all the time, and craved sugar all day and evening! I'm astounded at my curbed appetite! However, I'm feeling a bit strange in this transition, (Keto Flu) but will power through it.
When and how much MCT oil do you take ? Straight or added to coffee, tea, or some other way ?
Always start my 24 hour fast around 12 noon.
Eat OMAD for 5 days.
Tend to break ketosis on weekends.
Only doing this diet to help my ckd.
Was 152 lbs.
Now I'm 124 lbs.
Crazy weight loss.
But I do love the peaks in energy compares to carbs.
Avocado and full fat cream cheese...........keeps me going most of the day
Great videos!!! Please do more videos on thyroid issues and keto!
KETO Liscious Life eat by 7.30 pm and sleep from 9 pm to 5 pm .Thyroid issue will be solved.
kiran sai what a daft post.
KETO Liscious Life good request. I ask for this too
I would like to request the same, keto+thyroid diet and also osteoporosis.
Thank you so much dr.berg I finally get it and I finally understand what I need to do.
You always are necessary questions before anyone asks. You are a blessing.
No one (not just on You Tube or ANY 'media') is w/in 100 miles of this rock star! Clear, crisp, concise, cuts to the chase (aka cracks the code!) & non pitchy and very likeable. Followed (corporate useless burp) Jillian Michaels for months before discovering a REAL whip smart pro w/ Dr Berg! Biggest gem new follow! Dude is SO good and selfless hope the corporate snakes in the media and nutrition industry don't try to take his channel down! lol
The best tip I found was to drink salt water . I was really hungry under IF in spite of everything listed. However, I did a 3 day fast (the 2nd day was hard) and I don't know why but it killed my insane cravings. I start the day with electrolytes, a cup of coffee and then have one meal in the late afternoon. (unless I visit my parents.) I exercise a lot as well - that is no problem either
Just when I think I can’t learn anything more from you about Keto and I.F. I still do!
Wish I found you and Dr. Fung sooner.
So many people claim to know Keto BUT are not well versed or doing it accurately.
I've been doing your keto and IF and have dropped 10 pounds in 2 weeks.
Keto and IF are a way of life.
Looking forward to the remaining 60 pounds to be off.
Another useful video lesson from Dr. Berg! I'm so thankful to all those previous ones which turned my life into keto/IF one... Feeling great! 🤩 Keep the good work! 🙏
I wish you were my doc at the VA. I would have been healthy years ago.
J V ikr!!!!
I FEEL THE SAME WAY. BUT BETTER LATE THAN NEVER. GOOD LUCK
VA will just prescribe more meds ... I also wish I was told this but after 3 years and too many prescriptions I found this on my own.
Wish I would of found him 5 years ago
I wish you were my doctor too. Thank you for saving my life.
Dr.Berg is the man!
20alphabet yes! I know right!
OF COURSE HE IS
3 loaves of bread disliked this video....
Up to 5 now
dr berg has arguably one of the best likes to dislike ratios on all of youtube lol
Lmbo
40 more loaves joined the 3 loaves, the 40 more might be my whole wheat lost friends loll
I don’t really miss bread... other carbs sometimes more so. But bread is kinda... meh. Sorry loaves of bread. Dr Berg for the win!
Great info, have just started this and still trying to learn
Nice explanation of the the Ketosis process works with IF this is amazing!
This is my 6th week on Keto/IF and suddenly I've stopped progressing after losing inches from my waist every single week and losing pounds. Thanks for breaking down the system so that understand better how to bet out of the plateu I'm now.
How much did you used to weight and how much do you weight now? If you are already at a normal bf%, maybe you need to start adding some HIIT sessions and if you already do, do more sessions per week ;)
when I stopped losing pounds i just dropped my calorie intake by a couple hundred a day, and started losing again
Just started, all the videos are so informative
Hi doctor Berg, I started Keto diet one week before, now my body is in ketosis with current reading of ketones ~8.0 (purple) strip. I am still facing keto adaptation with fatiuge and headaches. If you can upload a video which tell about how much of ketone reading is good at different stages of keto diet, that will be very helpful to track my progress. I have hypothyroidism so it was very difficult for me to loose weight. Your videos have inspired and helped me understand my condition better. I find keto diet perfect for me. Thank you.
Thankyou. This helps me lot.
It's so clearly explained! Thanks a lot!!
You're welcome!
I don't know if Dr. Berg agrees, but in my experience, if you increase protein in the beginning, the body will push the lower limit of glucose levels up a bit.
Conversion of protein into glucose doesn't happen right after you eat. It takes many hours before that starts and it lasts many hours as well, maintaining glucose levels a bit higher, easily untill you first meal after 18 hours of fasting. This helps a lot in not feeling hungry.
Ofcource , once you're through the transition and are fully fat adapted, you need to reduce protein intake to the correct level.
Peter Faber Totally agree! When the goal is to get into ketosis, it's better to eat a good amount of protein for the first 4 days, once in ketosis that can then be lowered.
Unless one is also trying to achieve Autophagy, in which case it's better to just live with the hunger the first few days. As autophagy doesn't work after 4 days, but only seems to work best if cycling in & out of ketosis every week.
Also when in ketosis, if using ketostix & they stop work it means you are now fully Keto adapted!!
This is true. That's why it's good to try an all meat/eggs diet the first days :0)
C M No. You need to do the vegetables and the fat as well.
Also if I buy like a 500g / a lb of ground beef mince & fry it in some oil with a tsp of spices. Then blend it up into a soup with a can of chopped tomatoes, I can eat that in the morning for breakfast and not desire to eat again until the next day!!! And the Macros are like just under 100g of protein, 13g of net carbs & just about 100g of fat.
blk bbw That is missing vegetables.
Love your information! Positive and accurate!
Excellent advice, i'm doing this for a few years now.
if i want te get adapted back after recarb.
i drink ACV + lemon, fat cheese and sausage combined with multi vitamin and chicken broth. This works for me every time and i'm in keto after 4 days. (check with ketostix + bloodtest)
Then i change my diet to eggs 'nd bacon w. cheese in the morning and BBQ(all meats and a lot of fatty mayo) + non starchy vegatables as a second meal with a tablespoon of MCT, MV, ACV + lemon.
Great to see others are taking this more serious, while not describing it as a diet from hell.
greets P.
Dr Berg, im really liking that green marker. You should use it all the time, Thanks.
Two weeks in. Planning the meals and preparation helps me through the low energy days when my head is in a total fog.
Writing in a journal everyday is good, it keeps me on tract. Also, i am having fewer headaches, and starting to notice some physiological changes....slowly but surely.
Dr. Berg I love you so much! ❤️ you’re the best!!!!!!
Thanks for this info, I have benefited already a lot from your videos.
I live in Germany, I hope it will be possible in the near future to access more of your offers
Glad to be of help.
Exact information I was looking for, thx Dr. Berg!
Pls do some meal prepping, ideas. Thanks
He has meal ideas on his website
Lost 4cm off my waist in 1 week after starting keto- nothing's worked this fast before, I'm amazed! Thank you, Dr Berg
Most people I can't stand listening to for very long, but I could listen to Dr. Berg allll day long! lol It's crazy.
Thank you so much for the support!
-Dr. Berg's support team
Started today...10/12/20. I need all the support I can get. So tired of being worried about my declining health and depressed about my appearance. I gotta break this carb addiction! 😓
You can do it !
5 months now! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
@@jinarose5374 thank you!
Love the information, totally helpful when explaining to a friend why I think this is the way to live/eat. Btw, the new highlighter pens are helpful
I find that when you do clean healthy keto from the beginning, I noticed that after a month and half.. my appetite decreased drastically and I automatically went on IF without even noticing it because im not hungry. And when I do eat.. I eat like normal but not as much as I used to when I first started.. my meals always consist of high fat food, vege.. then im full.. i went from 4 coffees a day to 2 coffees a day and sometimes 1... and again it wasnt planned like this at all as i just dont feel like having it. But i do have around 11am or 12pm braggs ACV, wheat grass, salmon oil, selenium and potassium citrate with water and coffee.. maybe i have a small breakfast/lunch.. and then i dont eat till 9pm.. and then the next day.. around the same time.. its almost like a routine..
Thank you Dr. Eric Berg
I'm on my second round of Keto. I lost 50 pounds. Stopped doing Keto around the holidays, but still did IF. I gained a few pounds back, trying to make it to my goal weight. I counted calories 1200-1400 while doing keto and IF. I am wondering if I should not count calories this go around. I hit a plateau, which was discouraging. My highest weight was 209, currently at 163, lowest weight is was 157, goal weight is 155-150. Height 5'1. Can't really go lower in calories to break plateau. I started off just walking, now I am going to the gym 3 times a week.
I fast for 48 hrs and I’m in ketosis by then. I also workout during the fasting (light) to burn my Glycogen stores
I'm now for two weeks on < 30g carbs a day. before this I was two weeks
I'm becoming vegan keto... I have a lot of problems right now... Insulin resistance, adrenal fatigue, high estrogen... I'm on antidepressants and have a history of extreme anorexia, purging, and bingeing.. I'm 30, my cortisol is through the roof.. Totally caffeine addicted. It's going to be an interesting journey... I'll vlog it all and hopefully help people the way you are helping me.. Pay it forward xxx
Roseanne how is it going so far ?
Veganism is an eating disorder.
Thank you Dr. Berg. This is a treasure of information. Thank you.
@alberto luna
I'm glad you think so. Thank you for watching!
Week and a half in it, 8 pounds down. I had a heavy sugar withdrawal for 2-3 days but I pushed through it.
Thank you
Video came just in time haha. I just started keto for 3 days but have been doing I.F. for 3 years.
Mind blowing informative 👏👏👏
Thanks for watching.!
Looking forward to the results. Thank you x
I purchased at a yard sale of all places a powder drink called hydro surge by Nordic Clinical. It is high in nutrients and has 1 carb per serving. It helped me so much on my first day of keto!
Omg idk how to explain but it's my first day of IF! By mistake did a lots of protein yesterday night! Then felt terrible because of the insulin spike today morning! Yet today did fasting and had only fats whenever hungry! Drank a little green tea and a little salt together! And right now still doing fasting! Hunger has gone and feeling much better! Emotional tolerability came and irritability gone away!! If I never found Dr. Berg then my life would never had changed!! I'm just laughing and feeling happy dunno how to explain! Enjoying this beautiful life so much! Thank you so much Dr. Berg! You saved million lives!
What do you do when it’s your time of the month? I always crave sweets when it’s that time
Try sugar free dark chocolate
They say chocolate helps with menstrual cycle gravings, so try adding pure cocoa powder into the thickest cream you can get or Bulgarian live yoghurt (good for gut bacteria) I also find cinnamon, mint and liquorice root tea helps. But liquorice is naturally sweet, even though your cuppa contains zero camories:I believe that at initial stage mere sweet taste can increase insulin in some people, which is why even zero calorie sweeteners are iffy. It's better to slowly reduce the sweetness altogether.
Warnings:
1. Liquorice raises blood pressure so watch out if you already have a high blood pressure.
2. Cinnamon does lower blood pressure but it is also a neurotoxin so should be used in moderation. Normal use is harmless for most people; I used to put quite a lot of it into my porridge as well as drinking a 2 - 6 cups of tea several days in the row.
Increase magnesium
@@mrsvr add chromium too.
YES THANK YOU DR BERG
I have tried so many different keto diet programs in the past, but nothing has ever worked for me. I feel like I am always hungry and my cravings are out of control. I started using HyperKeto a few months ago and it's made keto easy, sustainable, & even enjoyable! The food is high quality and there are no restrictions on what you
Thank you for the video
What do you suggest for the first meal which is breakfast around 11am
So helpful! Thanks
dr berg.pls do vid regarding blood pressure and keto.thanks
I am just starting the Keto diet. Well been working out the kinks now for a couple of weeks. This is my 1st week doing good and officially on Keto eating plan. How long will it take me to get to ketosis?
Thank you so much
I have the hardest time with eating fats. I am 53 and was always thin, till menopause and major stress hit my life. Then I gained 30 pds mostly in my mid section. ( couldn't even look in mirror) . But a month into keto and IF, I am not perfect in the keto, but learning. I didn't realize how my diet consisted of carbs more then anything till now. I never was a huge meat eater. Anyways , I never felt better. I drink this Welltopia, Menoslim Tea and eat only twice a day. Down 10 pds...😊. Thank you Dr Berg, you were God sent!!
Nr1. person to watch with any health condition ! Good luck Doctor! (Lithuania)
Great info!
Great tips!
Love is the answer
