Dear lord! My waist to hip ratio?? My hips are too big, and my waist is even bigger... but getting smaller every day thanks to Thomas and also Dr. Berg!
I am finally down 8 sizes to a 32 inch waist after five months on Keto. Visceral fat on my liver and pancreas is the reason I started my journey. I feel that I still have to tone my belly area now. I am learning to change my lifestyle. I’ve come a long way but I am still leaning everyday. Thank you for the great videos. I couldn’t have done it without your support, Thomas.
It really works and rather than see it as a diet, I see Keto as a lifestyle shift. I’m down to my ideal weight and really enjoy all the great keto chefs producing great recipes on TH-cam. 👍
This is a very important way of thinking. This is what it means to change your lifestyle, as in you're doing this until the rest of your life. I'm happy to hear that you experienced the keto magic. I've been on keto for several years and absolutely never would I go back my old way of eating. Completely cement that processed sugars, carbs are actually eadible poison and you'll strengthen your resolve to stick to keto.
This is such an underrated comment. I tried keto a lot of times, but I quit because I didn’t liked the taste of food. Now that I found good recipes, my foods actually tastier - or at least I enjoy them more. Lets see how much could I stick to it, but currently i feel like i can do it as a lifestyle.
I cycle through keto to target visceral fat and cut down weight every so often. I like all food, so I don’t plan on getting rid of my diet. In general I like to eat healthy, even with carbs (rice, potatoes, etc). But visceral fat is extremely hard to get rid of and keto is great at accelerating the caloric deficit process.
My Visceral fat is melting away thanks to the Keto Diet - I am 1.5 weeks in and before I couldn't get my new waistcoat on and it was about 2 inches apart.. Today it goes on and does up but is tight so I know I am on the way :) I am doing 23/1 fasting every day with green tea and MCL oil at 8am and 12pm and I have dinner at 6pm and then nothing after that. So it does work people.. and I have type 2 diabetes but my levels are dropping like a stone too ;)
Hey Tom. Been following you for a couple years now. But over the last ten months, I finally applied these methods and I've lost 130lbs!!! Clean keto works ppl...
Referencing your comment posted today... I can’t stand it when you put yourself down. You have so many wonderful accomplishments it’s difficult to count. You’re not boasting or conceded by any means. What comes out about you is a truly honest concern and desire to share what you’ve learned in you journey in life - so far since you’re still quite a young man. I absolutely learn so much from you and I love detail - which you call being a geek. I love being told the how & why of things . Please don’t feel you need to change ANYTHING. I’m an old grandma of 9 ( I’m 66) and I learned I’m in control of my healthcare and I’ve got choices! Keto/IF for nearly 4 years now and YOU were most of the info. But like you I’m terrible in the kitchen so I get TH-cam recipes! You’re a good man!
@Thomas DeLauer ok a situation I can’t seem to find answers: cephalic phase insulin response. I know it’s an insulin release when the tongue tastes sweet but if it’s not food or sugar -say stevia in lemon water - what happens to the insulin? It’s not used so does it just accumulate in the blood and contribute to resistance? Often when fasting I put about 5 drops of fresh lemon in water and 3 drops of stevia.
Ordered the keto Krisp variety pack, nice that you support them, and thanks for the code. I’ve never been disappointed in the products you’ve recommended over the years. This video is my issue for sure, so thank you 🙏
@@jasonfritz838 those are some crazy good results, congrats! I’m at 183 right now but 168-171 It’s my sweet spot. It’s all going to the tummy and I can see it
@@MahmoudBennett I definitely have some of things working against me that he talks about in this video. Just means I have to work that much harder, which I wasn't doing until this year. I won't say it's easy now, but it's definitely not a chore like it was 4+ months ago.
I tell people to just give it a try & once you start seeing the quick results just in a few days to a week. You will be hooked. I don't weigh myself but from a combo of having my 2nd child & meds I was on, I just couldn't loose that pregnant belly look & my daughter is about to be 6. All my weight was in my belly. I went from an almost size 9 back down to a size 1-3. I know everyone is different but I didn't work out at all & was able to loose all that weight just by changing my diet. I lost all that weight in about 2 months.
Another great video Thomas, thank you! 👏🍏 Being post menopause and almost 60, I’ve had a lonnng haul of weight loss and fat adaptation. These old patterns creeped on over time so I’m willing to work hard to go backwards to better health and it’s not been easy. I’ve been working hard to regain my health for the last 20 years, trying many many different ways to accomplish this. I only found out in the last two years that my thyroid was almost dead. (I also beat cancer last year with no drugs) How amazing is it that Im getting older every day but also getting better every day!? It’s not about trying to be “young” not at all. I want as video brant a health as I possibly can. For one thing it beats feeling lousy, but also shows respect for the body that I’m in charge of. That said, I’m better and better and better every day. (The Root Protocol is amazing for understanding underlying issues) My seriously low thyroid is steadily improving. No more dry skin like I’ve always had. I’m cycling fasting and cycling carbs for better adaptation. I use some other things that have vital to my success: Earthing, red light therapy, homeopathy, EMF protection and several other things. Life is complex and need to be treated with respect. The mind is the number one healer and needs to be addressed too. (JW.org) Thanks again Thomas!!
I had low T and a lot of visceral fat , the low T was from a childhood illness(mumps). It wasn't until I was 40 did I learn this and started taking testosterone twice a month, now my visceral fat is down and I've been doing Keto for a year before the lock down and I was looking pretty good, but because of the lock down I gained 20 pounds and have to go Keto again but this time I won't stop because of the way it makes me feel. I'll take break but I'll never eat grains and bread like I used to
I don't understand some people. Keto is making all your pain and inflammation go away, keeping your body in good health and your looks in good shape by melting visceral fat. What's the idea when you quit Keto? Do you miss your joins hurting? Do you want another sinister joke about your pot belly? I mean sure, it's a bit restrictive in respect to the delicious poison that the processed food industry is selling, but thinking of all the misery that uncontrolled carb consumption caused me, they have it all to themselves. Make this a lifestyle, and with each passing month/year you'll reap bigger and bigger benefits. Stay healthy, cheers!
@@Exydna Wow dude, you might want to climb down off your pedestal before you get a nosebleed. Every one of your hypothetical questions wasn't a question at all. It was a statement so why not just come out and say it? There could be a gazillion reasons why one stops a diet, program, exercise regime, or lifestyle change. While it's easy to change your body composition, it's harder to change a horrible personality. But good luck to ya.
@@coryCuc Chill dude, lol. I wasn't attacking the person or anything. But your comment makes me think you were never really fat, maybe you've had a few kg to lose a perfect beach body or something. I was fat, like 180kg fat. You don't know what obesity can do to you. That at 20 years old, the prime of your life, when your entire body is highly inflamed and hurting like you're 80 because of the inflammation cause by the carbs. And yes those are real questions, just because you haven't experienced them doesn't mean they're not real. Take off your pink glasses and see the misery and pain that obesity can cause instead of trying to 'protect' someone when they want to back to a ultimately self-damaging lifestyle. Again, I'm not attacking anyone, just stating my mind. With this said have a nice day, I'd rather not continue this 'discussion'. Also don't get so easily offended, especially on someone else's behalf on the internet, or you'll never have a good time.
I looked back at some old photos before I started if and some keto and wow my stomach was huge Crazy thing is I didnt realize it until we got an outdoor camera and saw myself walk and I was like hellllllll nall. Bought a full length mirror and was like oh helll nall then I started fasting 16 8 and started finding videos to help me and I found this channel and let me tell you my stomach is getting smaller and I have ab lines 🥰
I like that you go deep into the science, was expecting not only theory but also the practical side. How does this theory translate to our day to day actions?
Intermitent fasting, keto and for the lasy 2 months strenght workout with bands from 241 down to 168 i be 60 in 2 months just got my testosterone test back, 1026 now the doctors are asking for my advised and now i did it all natural.
Thomas, you do fantastic videos in good detail, but trying to get healthy and info on you tube about recided gums need stronger advice, but most just want to sell things, iam trying keto, I was told good fatty meat is good for it, thomas keep up the good ⚒
@@johnprice7358 I used green pastures cod liver oil and butter blend for my receding gums. It took about six months to see any improvement but now I have normal gums, even around a crown that had a lot of gum loss. I still take it to keep my gums healthy. I was facing a graft for my lower front teeth gum line that had receded really bad. My dentist asked if I had the graft done elsewhere. He wasn't too thrilled when I told I "fixed" it with a supplement. Less $$$ in his pocket when patients go rogue like that. 😂
Wouldn't intermittent fasting give the same results? (lower insulin resistance, reduce visceral fat, reduce/cure diabetes) Also, how about exercising during an insulin spike? (shortly after a high-carb meal) Would that not burn some glucose up and lower the amount in insulin in the blood thus saving one from insulin resistance long-term if done often enough?
It's important to note that estrogen and testosterone are very similar chemicals. This is why exogenous testosterone can cause gynocomastia in men. That's also why low levels of estrogen in women and low levels of testosterone in men, BOTH cause visceral fat accumulation. Estrogen has a more friendly relationship with fat as a whole, as opposed to testosterone, but dangerous visceral fat is negatively correlated with estrogen levels.
They have those Keto Krisp bars at my local Publix (here in Virginia). Damn - the almond butter one is so good it's like a candy bar. I have to stay away from them. But they'd make a great treat/dessert on a keto diet.
I’m thinking about bio-identical hormones (estrogen). I work hard to maintain diet and exercise but that belly just doesn’t want to go. Im 47 and this started at age 43. I have a post menopausal friend who said she couldnt get rid of it til she did bio-identical hormones.
I just started getting a belly last fall after turning 42, I thought it was from being more lazy due to focus but I eat healthy and avoid most sugar. Maybe it is hormones for me too
@@elohcin42 yeah it’s happening to my same age friend too. She’s always been very lean. For what it’s worth the only thing that has really made a significant dent in the belly area has been strength training. Good luck!! 🙏🏻
Unfortunately I do not know where else to attempt to contact you, Thomas D, with a question (or questions). So, will try here in the comments. I am 56 y/o. I am 5’7” and 135lbs. I work out 5 days a week, some times maybe 6. I am not sure what my body index is. I try not to watch my weight on a scale. I’m pretty lean and have muscle definition. I eat healthy keto (Mediterranean) and IF. My concern is with IF. I do not need to lose weight and I am concerned with possibly losing muscle mass if I do IF too often. I do not know what my “happy medium” would be. IF is important to me, not only for physical health benefits, but also cognitive health for present and future. My mother has Alzheimer’s and her sister passed away from complications due to Alzheimer’s. I was diagnosed with lupus over ten years ago and I have changed that diagnosis. I know it’s due to my healthy keto, IF and consistent workout regimen. From your shared knowledge, and my continued research, I know that inflammation has proven to play a role in dementia/Alzheimer’s. In my opinion, IF is vital. Just how much and how often? I realize you cannot give me a definitive answer since you cannot “see” me. I’m just curious what you THINK a safe IF schedule might look like for me? Two days a week? Three days a week with 16:8? I still get a little confused with all the info. If you actually see this, thank you for your time and all the fantastic information you share with us. Strong work!! 💪🏼
If you ask me, the keto diet is not for most people. It is just really difficult to stick with and you feel exhausted. But the Agoge diet on the other hand feels great, and it works too.
HERE'S A TOPIC TO REVIEW:. WOMEN WHO HAVE HAD RADICAL HYSTERECTOMY and no longer have ovaries AT ALL. AT 40, 50, 60 and 70... how are they affected by adrenal burn out? How can keto be utilized for energy??
Plz do a video about ur experience on loosing the last 10 lbs and skin tightening and the fix to the struggle we face at the end . while we build muscle at the same time .
If you're losing weight, what burns first? Visceral fat or the subcutaneous fat around stomach, back, and sides? IOW, if I'm a male in my late 60s, and I've been on a keto diet for a year and gotten my subcutaneous fat well down, can I expect that my visceral fat is already gone, or have I not started losing it yet?
My daughter has epilepsy, but she has Catamenial epilepsy. Estrogens (in particular estradiol, the most important of the different estrogen forms) have potent proconvulsant properties. They exert an excitatory effect on neurons by stimulating the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)- type glutamate receptor. In women with epilepsy, intravenous administration of conjugated estrogens activates epileptiform discharges and may result in seizures. Would a Keto diet be ok, or recommended? I know with uncontrolled epilepsy, it has been recommended
So, slightly confused now. But, should I be adding cruciferous vegetables or not? I'm 51 and have been going through Menopause, but was PCOS to begin with.
I started keto two months ago in the first six weeks I dropped 37 pounds then I backed off for two weeks now I’m getting back in the keto with intermittent fasting again. I backed off because I was worried about my metabolism
A lil off subject but what do u think of olly brand supplements... i was doing some cleaning and found an "old" bottle of olly energy gummies I thought i lost and it said it has theanine in it
I must be doing keto wrong 😵💫 because my stomach won’t budge . And I stopped losing weight after the first week. I been on the same weight for the past month . I even strength train 5 times a week AND do a 16:8 fasting method . Keto was good for those first couple of pounds , but I’m not getting anywhere else with it.
Some of us, our health has a few issues our body needs to heal more so its going to take a lot longer to change shape and loose body fat. Your body could be converting the body weight into Muscle weight. Are your clothes looser? Are you starting to have more energy, feeling better on the inside? I thought it wasn't working when I first started on this journey, as scales seemed to not move much, until a Facebook memory would come up. It was then, I could see that it was working. I looked younger and healthier. DON'T GIVE UP! Keep going. Now into my 6th year doing keto, Intermitted Fasting, now upto 20 hrs:4 window. 2 meals a day. Getting to 1 & 1/2 meals a day recently. When I first started, I struggled to do 14:6 with 3 & 1/2 meals a day. Just keep going.
I doubt you'll see this but you should have a weekly video of you rating TikTok keto recipes. You don't necessarily have to make them but at the end of them give it a thumbs up or down if they're TD approved. Thoughts?
The main reason I started dieting was to get rid of cellulite, however the keto diet made it unbearable. That's why I tried the *Agoge diet* and it worked great
You always talk about women and estrogen after menopause... can you please do a video for women who are breastfeeding or postpartum. Hormone levels are similar but I'm wondering if the same effect and results happen with these 2 groups. Thankyou!
Lost 40kg on 8 month of keto. But only 1kg came from stomach fat. My stomach fat refuses to ..... And my HBa1c stays high (prediabetes). While FBG is "normal" (if i was on a carb diet i guess). HBa1c is weird. Both my HBa1c and the no fatburning on the stomach. Combined with high cortisol. And low testosterone. Indicate i have chronic gluconeogensis going on. What realisticly can i do to fix this? I am defintly in ketosis. Both my urine sticks and breat testinstrument confirms i am heavily into ketosis. So 8 month: 40 kg down. Which was 7 kg muscles:( (Feels almost as heavy to walk now as before the 40kg weightloss... as i lost 7kg muscles!:( And 25kg was fat loss. The reminder (40-7-25=8kg seems to have been mostly water that was binded to carbs, protein, etc, etc earlier i guess). And of those 25kg fat... only 1kg fat came from the stomach area. All the 24kg came from arms and legs. Sooo annoying. I hate gluconeogenesis etc.
Can you give advice on family/marriage health and fitness? I can't get my wife and young kids to eat healthy. Even my wife just sneaks food. My oldest 13 is joining me but mostly cause I'm not giving him a choice lol
Start with yourself everything takes time there's no way to motivate someone that close through words only through action you're wife will get healthier as she sees you lighting up from your own health transitions
Get in shape and tell her you are giving her the best of yourself and you expect the best of her or its over.. its really that simple.. step up and be the man.. but like stated above, get in shape and lead by example
I feel your pain brother. Not so much with my kids though. My son does boxing in the summer and actually needs to put on weight but my wife keeps bouncing up and down in weight and I think it effecting her well being. I've been good on keto but I recently jumped onto the sarms wagon and Holy fuck do I get amazing results. No more skinny fat lol. I got a great muscle build and I'm almost ripped. I noticed great results in 1 week!
My kids gravitate toward high carb junk food. When their dad and I got divorced he introduced them to the standard American diet for the first time. That was a greater loss for me than the marriage honestly, seeing my kids gorge themselves with trash. I have a BS in nutrition, which makes it even harder for me lol With that said I didn’t eat great at their age. It took maturity for me to come around. Luckily they are very active and not at all overweight but I guarantee they are setting the stage for prediabetes, which is where I landed myself in my 30s. Regarding the spouse, well I’ve already decided I won’t marry someone, or likely even date someone, who trashes his body. Because at my age (47), who is the one who will have to clean up the mess of his poor health choices? Me. No thanks. I’m almost done raising kids. I’m not going to be someone’s caretaker. Not when they willingly put themselves at risk for heart attack, stroke, obesity, etc. that’s tough though if you’re already married. Be a shining example. It’s will eventually impact them I would think... Also I’m Currently on vacation, myself and 3 teens. Guess who has the most energy at the end of the day due to keto diet? Me! I’m decades older and I run circles around these kids with focus and energy. I point it out when they get tired. I say look at what I eat and how much energy I have. It will eventually sink in when productivity actually matters to them.
Hey Thomas. Based on the video most guys need more testosterone, especially guys over 40 like myself. What is the best supplement to boost testosterone with combination of certain foods.
Really, the video itself emphasizes that reducing visceral fat via keto/fasting will itself increase testosterone levels by reducing aromatization of T by visceral fat. A study is cited showing that exogenous T will reduce visceral fat, but the dangers of using that are well-known and would seem to make it a last choice kind of option.
By eating keto high fat our testosterone automatically increases . I'm 53 years old I had low testosterone in the 150 range. After 3 months keto my testosterone was in the mid 500 range. You can also increase your testosterone and human growth levels with fasting and doing hiit cardio twice a week
Is a small bowl of oatmeal keto friendly? I've been doing keto a month and lost 10 pounds so far...exogenous ketones has really helped alot! My waist looks trim.
It's definitely not. They do have hemp oats that are great though. Try that instead and always read the back of the box. Remember to count sugar with your carbs and subtract fiber. Good luck!
I've been doing 1/4 cup of Oats with 2tbsp psyllium fiber and whey isolate for 6 months and stayed in ketosis. I exercise every day and lift heavy in the gym 5x a week though. At the end of the day its just about your overall carb intake.
Guys in my family with a big gut "...but I still wear a 33 waist in jeans!" they say (meanwhile gut hanging over their belt) Maybe I'll fwd your videos instead of trying to explain why they should care about their health. It's hard to talk to loved ones about things like this.
Can you watch the new dr berg video he released today about cancer. He said ketones alone can allow the cancer membranes to grow. Very confused. Don’t know what to do.
@@daofjudith neither is Thomas delauer. I don’t trust anyone anymore, not the MDs, not the surgeons, no one at all. Diet and nutrition is so divided I cannot understand why.
I really tried sticking with the the keto diet, but I just felt awful and it is also really hard to follow. Then I tried the Agoge diet and it was life changing, I highly recommend it to everybody.
@@mike856msUltimately I think we burn it from our liver quickly but from our gut in some proportion to subcutaneous fat. I’ve been keto for 2 1/2 years and lost over 100 pounds but the body fat scale still shows an unhealthy amount of visceral fat. I’m fully fat adapted but not there yet. Most of the fat I lost was in the first year. Almost none was in the last year. Only recently have I begun aggressively fasting again and increasing protein. I think that’s working.
Thomas. Craig wondering what happened to my strict Keto faded out for often high carb. Ought s person fight that crave for Donuts get back into Keto for assurance of weight over long time staying off. How does cycling Keto/Carbs go?
In 2018 I accidentally went keto by doing OMAD of eating 1 apple and 3 drumsticks everyday for 3 months. I also walked everyday for like 3 hours. Didnt lose a pound on the scale but I no longer had "apple shape" body and went from a 1XL shirt size to a Medium??
@@CarbageMan Ah I see. I didnt even know I was doing a keto type thing. My body for some reason was telling me to eat this way but I have no idea why. After a while I switched to eating salmon everyday as my OMAD on top of half a bell pepper with mayo and dill. I think thats when my belly starting shrinking now that I think of it.
@@kayc.8283 Salmon is great. However, doing OMAD has two issues: it's easy to get stuck in a rut eating the same thing and robbing yourself of nutrient variety, and it can be difficult to ingest all the nutrients you need in one meal. Not that salmon is bad-especially wild, with the skin. I try to get it at least once or twice a week. I go on grass-fed lamb kicks, too. I'll usually eat lean after weight training-like chicken breast, shrimp or white fish. I'm a big fan of 20/4, often backing off to 18/6 or 16/8. For a stall, skipping food on a weekend day or two works great for me (I go for long walks instead.)
@@CarbageMan So Im new to proper keto. I kinda stopped what I was doing in 2018, I forget why tbh but im now learning how to do it all properly so I can go back on it.i started on Wednesday but cheated a couple times, one with an ice cream bar and once with a small handful of white rice only bc I was SOOO hungry I felt like I was gonna pass out. When you say 20/4 are you referring to Intermittent fasting? What does it mean? Like fasting for 20 hours and then getting all your macros in between that 4 h period?? Im so confused with how to start. I got a keto calc and am trying to stick to the suggested macros for the first month. Lets see what happens I guess?
@@kayc.8283 Yeah, unfortunately, what happens is you start from zero for a couple days every time you cheat. :-( Right, 20/4 is time restricted eating. I don't say "intermittent fasting" for that, because it's not intermittent, right? A lot of people do call it that, though. If you feel like eating, eat, but make it protein and fat. You don't have to go right to 20/4. The easiest way to start is just eating later and later. Wait until your hungry, and push it a little. Try drinking coffee, tea or water, maybe even have some salt. The most important thing, though, is to substitute proteins and fats for sugars, grains and starchy vegetables. Hope that helps. Counting the carbs really is key, at first. What made me confident was knowing I could eat the fats that were previously off limits. Butter and cheese can be good bridge foods. Later on, butter, nuts and cheese can be a trap, and easy to overeat. For now, though, it's imperative to avoid the sugars and grains. PS: If you're feeling dizzy, it can be low electrolytes. If you cut the carbs, you're going to lose water, and electrolytes with those, so you need more salt, potassium and magnesium. I supplement magnesium (try magnesium malate, not magnesium chloride or magnesium carbonate.) For potassium, try adding NoSalt brand salt substitute to your food in addition to sea salt. When fasting, you may want to be sure and still get these even if not eating. You can get dizzy from this, though usually that's from a drop in blood sugar from high to normal. If you fast at all, you should test your blood sugar to make sure it doesn't go too low (like, below 70.)
Oh, I love these Keto Krisps. They sell them at my local Publix. They're expensive buying one at a time and I tend to eat too many, so I feel like I have to only eat one at a time, but they are great and totally a perfect keto snack
Hi Thomas, thank you so much for everything.. I’ve been on Keto for a month and lost 11 kilos, still has 30 to go.. I’m doing well.. but I’m struggling with sleeping disorder, I don’t sleep well anymore I wake up so many times during the night.. is there anything i could do to resolve this please Thank you so much 😘
OK - i watched video - i have lost 20 pounds on keto in past 3 months - but no visceral fat - 70yo - polymyositis x 20yr - prostate cancer x 2yr - so, with lupron, my testosterone is almost zero - so how can i lose visceral fat if polymyositis (can barely walk, fall easily, can walk 0.3 miles in 30 minutes with several rest stops) - and - no testosterone - will i always have visceral fat - oh yes - weight 175 down from 195 - but still visceral fat stomach - thanks
Back to my question. Why isn't estrogen therapy being used for apple shaped and inverted triangle body shaped women instead of all the suffering with T2D, PCOS and infertility but it's given to men freely for MTF transition?
Hi, Thomas~I live with sleep apnea and resultant high cortisol levels. Do you have any suggestions on how to lower/cleanse cortisol levels exogenously?
i dont get it, i have high muscle mass, but still a gut, my glucose is between 70-100 almost ALL the time. once in a while after some excessive carbs (apple fritter the side of my head) i might see it hit 115-120. which is still considered damn good.
I have always had bigger legs and I hate it, I’ve done well though recently, went from 240 to now sitting at around 200 but my upper thighs are still pretty big even though I have slimmed down considerably in most other areas, it’s probably going to be the last place the fat comes off, just got to ride the momentum and keep on track
Thomas can you train me? I lost weight on Keto but now I am perimenopausal and THE STRUGGLE IS REAL!!!!!!!! ALSO I am controlled diabetic. I am doing EVERYTHING natural and soooo mindful of my eating.. I need to get a personal trainer😭😭😭😭
Of course it is. If you click on their profile, it displays that it was created 2 weeks ago. The WhatsApp scam has been used for a decent amount of time now. The higher effort ones have several accounts that will engage in conversation with themselves in a comment section to give the appearance of legitimacy. I've been going on a report spree. Help us out, would you? 🙂
@@LaserStorm117 Challenge accepted. It just threw me by using the same name & image that Thomas uses. Edit: Reported account and a whole load of posts.
@@stonkr , hell yeah! I like that attitude. Mad respect, Stonkr. Thank you for the help, too 🙂 Yeah, scummy people aim for as much deception as they can think of. Why these people use lies and screw people over as a preferred method of advancement is just beyond me.
Yes you can. Thomas was pre-diabetic and is insulin resistance that's why he is on keto if you see his past videos. If he goes on carbs his sugar level will go up. He needs to stay low carb/keto to keep his pre diabetes in remission.
If you have fatty organs, especially liver, yes. In fact being skinny with fatty liver makes you more insulin resistant than having large amounts of subcutaneous fat along with liver fat.
@@varunkamal91 well i ended up taking an overdose after having a massive anxiety attack, now i show all the symptoms of insulin resistance, such as tired after eating, craving carbs etc, i wouldn’t know if my liver if fatty but im very low body fat
Thank you for sharing! I would like to request a few short videos that do not include lengthy scientific sources. I have been watching your wonderful videos for over 4 years. I absolutely love to learn the science and love to research. However I am just curious to see more videos from you that are shorter and more entertaining. I think you have already proven yourself to be a successful researcher because it is clear your sources are sound. Perhaps a playlist done for the lomg time subscribers would be nice. We long time subscribers will accept your shared content as reliable without you providing your sources. I believe in the saying trust but verify. So ofcourse you are trustworthy. It is not a negative request. I believe it would be positive. A very short playlist of this kind would be a sweet addition to your channel. I appreciate all of your videos! My request may seem selfish but it may also be what some subscribers are thinking as well but not saying. Ofcourse I am not saying I would like you to change anything about your style. I just thought a little addition would be nice. 😊😊
Yeah and then having a 16-piece family-sized cake all to yourself, also don't forget dessert - the 2kg icecream box sitting in the freezer. After all of that, go destroy the gym equipment all you want.

Did I miss something?
You explained the causes and why BUT you didn't really explain how to rid of the visceral fat. I still don't understand the how.
Hey I have keto diet supplement but am afraid to use this because it has many side effects so what ur recomendation?
Dear lord! My waist to hip ratio??
My hips are too big, and my waist is even bigger... but getting smaller every day thanks to Thomas and also Dr. Berg!
Same here!
I am finally down 8 sizes to a 32 inch waist after five months on Keto. Visceral fat on my liver and pancreas is the reason I started my journey. I feel that I still have to tone my belly area now. I am learning to change my lifestyle. I’ve come a long way but I am still leaning everyday. Thank you for the great videos. I couldn’t have done it without your support, Thomas.
thats a great progress, any update on visceral fat?
It really works and rather than see it as a diet, I see Keto as a lifestyle shift. I’m down to my ideal weight and really enjoy all the great keto chefs producing great recipes on TH-cam. 👍
It is a lifestyle change. To eat any other way just feels bad
This is a very important way of thinking. This is what it means to change your lifestyle, as in you're doing this until the rest of your life. I'm happy to hear that you experienced the keto magic. I've been on keto for several years and absolutely never would I go back my old way of eating. Completely cement that processed sugars, carbs are actually eadible poison and you'll strengthen your resolve to stick to keto.
This is such an underrated comment.
I tried keto a lot of times, but I quit because I didn’t liked the taste of food.
Now that I found good recipes, my foods actually tastier - or at least I enjoy them more.
Lets see how much could I stick to it, but currently i feel like i can do it as a lifestyle.
I cycle through keto to target visceral fat and cut down weight every so often. I like all food, so I don’t plan on getting rid of my diet. In general I like to eat healthy, even with carbs (rice, potatoes, etc).
But visceral fat is extremely hard to get rid of and keto is great at accelerating the caloric deficit process.
*"An apple a day keep the doctor away, unless you look like an apple, haha!" 😂😂*
My Visceral fat is melting away thanks to the Keto Diet - I am 1.5 weeks in and before I couldn't get my new waistcoat on and it was about 2 inches apart.. Today it goes on and does up but is tight so I know I am on the way :) I am doing 23/1 fasting every day with green tea and MCL oil at 8am and 12pm and I have dinner at 6pm and then nothing after that.
So it does work people.. and I have type 2 diabetes but my levels are dropping like a stone too ;)
That is a very extreme program. How sustainable has it been? How is your diabetes?
thats great
Hey Tom. Been following you for a couple years now. But over the last ten months, I finally applied these methods and I've lost 130lbs!!! Clean keto works ppl...
Referencing your comment posted today... I can’t stand it when you put yourself down. You have so many wonderful accomplishments it’s difficult to count. You’re not boasting or conceded by any means. What comes out about you is a truly honest concern and desire to share what you’ve learned in you journey in life - so far since you’re still quite a young man. I absolutely learn so much from you and I love detail - which you call being a geek.
I love being told the how & why of things . Please don’t feel you need to change ANYTHING. I’m an old grandma of 9 ( I’m 66) and I learned I’m in control of my healthcare and I’ve got choices! Keto/IF for nearly 4 years now and YOU were most of the info. But like you I’m terrible in the kitchen so I get TH-cam recipes! You’re a good man!
@Thomas DeLauer ok a situation I can’t seem to find answers: cephalic phase insulin response. I know it’s an insulin release when the tongue tastes sweet but if it’s not food or sugar -say stevia in lemon water - what happens to the insulin? It’s not used so does it just accumulate in the blood and contribute to resistance? Often when fasting I put about 5 drops of fresh lemon in water and 3 drops of stevia.
Good morning everyone!
Ordered the keto Krisp variety pack, nice that you support them, and thanks for the code. I’ve never been disappointed in the products you’ve recommended over the years. This video is my issue for sure, so thank you 🙏
"see you tomorrow"
To skip all of the explanations and fluff to go directly to the answer, go to @7:32.
Thinking of starting Keto after becoming more sedentary in my job. Getting that tummy
Started in February 7th of this year, lost 90 pounds. That's also 7 days/week of cardio and 3-4 days of weight training. Went from 367 to 277.
@@jasonfritz838 those are some crazy good results, congrats! I’m at 183 right now but 168-171 It’s my sweet spot. It’s all going to the tummy and I can see it
@@MahmoudBennett I definitely have some of things working against me that he talks about in this video. Just means I have to work that much harder, which I wasn't doing until this year. I won't say it's easy now, but it's definitely not a chore like it was 4+ months ago.
Bulletproof coffee helps you from getting hangry
I tell people to just give it a try & once you start seeing the quick results just in a few days to a week. You will be hooked. I don't weigh myself but from a combo of having my 2nd child & meds I was on, I just couldn't loose that pregnant belly look & my daughter is about to be 6. All my weight was in my belly. I went from an almost size 9 back down to a size 1-3. I know everyone is different but I didn't work out at all & was able to loose all that weight just by changing my diet. I lost all that weight in about 2 months.
Mixing from high fat weeks to low fat weeks on keto is so crucial imo.
Another great video Thomas, thank you! 👏🍏
Being post menopause and almost 60, I’ve had a lonnng haul of weight loss and fat adaptation. These old patterns creeped on over time so I’m willing to work hard to go backwards to better health and it’s not been easy. I’ve been working hard to regain my health for the last 20 years, trying many many different ways to accomplish this.
I only found out in the last two years that my thyroid was almost dead. (I also beat cancer last year with no drugs) How amazing is it that Im getting older every day but also getting better every day!? It’s not about trying to be “young” not at all. I want as video brant a health as I possibly can. For one thing it beats feeling lousy, but also shows respect for the body that I’m in charge of.
That said, I’m better and better and better every day. (The Root Protocol is amazing for understanding underlying issues)
My seriously low thyroid is steadily improving. No more dry skin like I’ve always had.
I’m cycling fasting and cycling carbs for better adaptation.
I use some other things that have vital to my success: Earthing, red light therapy, homeopathy, EMF protection and several other things. Life is complex and need to be treated with respect. The mind is the number one healer and needs to be addressed too. (JW.org)
Thanks again Thomas!!
I had low T and a lot of visceral fat , the low T was from a childhood illness(mumps). It wasn't until I was 40 did I learn this and started taking testosterone twice a month, now my visceral fat is down and I've been doing Keto for a year before the lock down and I was looking pretty good, but because of the lock down I gained 20 pounds and have to go Keto again but this time I won't stop because of the way it makes me feel. I'll take break but I'll never eat grains and bread like I used to
PrehensileMan n, what is the form and manner in which you take testosterone twice a month?
@@TryGold It's an oil base I inject
I don't understand some people. Keto is making all your pain and inflammation go away, keeping your body in good health and your looks in good shape by melting visceral fat. What's the idea when you quit Keto? Do you miss your joins hurting? Do you want another sinister joke about your pot belly? I mean sure, it's a bit restrictive in respect to the delicious poison that the processed food industry is selling, but thinking of all the misery that uncontrolled carb consumption caused me, they have it all to themselves.
Make this a lifestyle, and with each passing month/year you'll reap bigger and bigger benefits. Stay healthy, cheers!
@@Exydna Wow dude, you might want to climb down off your pedestal before you get a nosebleed. Every one of your hypothetical questions wasn't a question at all. It was a statement so why not just come out and say it? There could be a gazillion reasons why one stops a diet, program, exercise regime, or lifestyle change. While it's easy to change your body composition, it's harder to change a horrible personality. But good luck to ya.
@@coryCuc Chill dude, lol. I wasn't attacking the person or anything. But your comment makes me think you were never really fat, maybe you've had a few kg to lose a perfect beach body or something. I was fat, like 180kg fat. You don't know what obesity can do to you. That at 20 years old, the prime of your life, when your entire body is highly inflamed and hurting like you're 80 because of the inflammation cause by the carbs. And yes those are real questions, just because you haven't experienced them doesn't mean they're not real. Take off your pink glasses and see the misery and pain that obesity can cause instead of trying to 'protect' someone when they want to back to a ultimately self-damaging lifestyle.
Again, I'm not attacking anyone, just stating my mind. With this said have a nice day, I'd rather not continue this 'discussion'. Also don't get so easily offended, especially on someone else's behalf on the internet, or you'll never have a good time.
I've never lost weight and feel good, until I started keto with IF. I'm down to the last stubborn lbs, but feeling great.

Thank you Thomas. I’ve been on the keto diet for the last week and feel good. It helps me understand why with videos like this.
An apple a day keeps anyone away if you throw it hard enough.
😂😂😂😂😂

😹☠️
I looked back at some old photos before I started if and some keto and wow my stomach was huge
Crazy thing is I didnt realize it until we got an outdoor camera and saw myself walk and I was like hellllllll nall. Bought a full length mirror and was like oh helll nall then I started fasting 16 8 and started finding videos to help me and I found this channel and let me tell you my stomach is getting smaller and I have ab lines 🥰
I like that you go deep into the science, was expecting not only theory but also the practical side. How does this theory translate to our day to day actions?
I second that! The science is fascinating!
Today’s date is September 5, 2022. Since August 12, 2022 I have lost 17 lbs!
Intermitent fasting, keto and for the lasy 2 months strenght workout with bands from 241 down to 168 i be 60 in 2 months just got my testosterone test back, 1026 now the doctors are asking for my advised and now i did it all natural.
Wow!! Those numbers are great. What were your test levels before keto diet and exercise.
700s
Must clear fat from the liver first, before visceral fat starts breaking down
Thomas, you do fantastic videos in good detail, but trying to get healthy and info on you tube about recided gums need stronger advice, but most just want to sell things, iam trying keto, I was told good fatty meat is good for it, thomas keep up the good ⚒
@@johnprice7358 I used green pastures cod liver oil and butter blend for my receding gums. It took about six months to see any improvement but now I have normal gums, even around a crown that had a lot of gum loss. I still take it to keep my gums healthy. I was facing a graft for my lower front teeth gum line that had receded really bad. My dentist asked if I had the graft done elsewhere. He wasn't too thrilled when I told I "fixed" it with a supplement. Less $$$ in his pocket when patients go rogue like that. 😂
Great,great content. Have veered away, but back on track with you Thomas! Thank you more than you could know....
Thanks for the video Thomas!
Excellent video 👍
I am doing keto and fasting
Do not get me started on the keto diet.. that shit almost killed me... If you want to lose fat, get the Agoge diet imo, it worked great for me
Just got the diet emailed to me, looks good
What's up with all the fuckin bots pushing agoge?
Sort comment by new, and you'll see what I mean.
Wouldn't intermittent fasting give the same results? (lower insulin resistance, reduce visceral fat, reduce/cure diabetes)
Also, how about exercising during an insulin spike? (shortly after a high-carb meal)
Would that not burn some glucose up and lower the amount in insulin in the blood thus saving one from insulin resistance long-term if done often enough?
Hey @Thomas. @4:33, you said “hypOestrogenemia” but the word in the video was hypERestrogenemia.
Cheers!
thanks for all videos bro
I wondering about different between keto and herbalife which one is more healthier and why
It's important to note that estrogen and testosterone are very similar chemicals. This is why exogenous testosterone can cause gynocomastia in men.
That's also why low levels of estrogen in women and low levels of testosterone in men, BOTH cause visceral fat accumulation.
Estrogen has a more friendly relationship with fat as a whole, as opposed to testosterone, but dangerous visceral fat is negatively correlated with estrogen levels.
None of this contradicts what was said in the video, just thought it was important.
They have those Keto Krisp bars at my local Publix (here in Virginia). Damn - the almond butter one is so good it's like a candy bar. I have to stay away from them. But they'd make a great treat/dessert on a keto diet.
Wow!!!! Great video
I’m thinking about bio-identical hormones (estrogen). I work hard to maintain diet and exercise but that belly just doesn’t want to go. Im 47 and this started at age 43. I have a post menopausal friend who said she couldnt get rid of it til she did bio-identical hormones.
I just started getting a belly last fall after turning 42, I thought it was from being more lazy due to focus but I eat healthy and avoid most sugar. Maybe it is hormones for me too
@@elohcin42 yeah it’s happening to my same age friend too. She’s always been very lean. For what it’s worth the only thing that has really made a significant dent in the belly area has been strength training. Good luck!! 🙏🏻
I can't believe I had never heard that aromatase originates in fat cells. Learned something new. Thanks!
Unfortunately I do not know where else to attempt to contact you, Thomas D, with a question (or questions). So, will try here in the comments.
I am 56 y/o. I am 5’7” and 135lbs. I work out 5 days a week, some times maybe 6. I am not sure what my body index is. I try not to watch my weight on a scale. I’m pretty lean and have muscle definition. I eat healthy keto (Mediterranean) and IF. My concern is with IF. I do not need to lose weight and I am concerned with possibly losing muscle mass if I do IF too often. I do not know what my “happy medium” would be. IF is important to me, not only for physical health benefits, but also cognitive health for present and future. My mother has Alzheimer’s and her sister passed away from complications due to Alzheimer’s. I was diagnosed with lupus over ten years ago and I have changed that diagnosis. I know it’s due to my healthy keto, IF and consistent workout regimen. From your shared knowledge, and my continued research, I know that inflammation has proven to play a role in dementia/Alzheimer’s. In my opinion, IF is vital. Just how much and how often?
I realize you cannot give me a definitive answer since you cannot “see” me. I’m just curious what you THINK a safe IF schedule might look like for me? Two days a week? Three days a week with 16:8? I still get a little confused with all the info.
If you actually see this, thank you for your time and all the fantastic information you share with us. Strong work!! 💪🏼
I would love a video on lipedema and the keto diet. There are so many women struggling with this and it feels like no true resources out there
Follow Dr Mindy Perez.she has extensive resources on IF,Keto and mainly issues with women and she has an occasional Q/A sessions.
I've been on the Keto diet for 2 days and I've already lost 10lbs. 👍
I lost weight like mad for the first week and a half to two weeks then it stalled for a bit, don’t get discouraged it will take off again
That’s water weight. The first two days your body empties it’s water stores
Slow down a bit … or maybe too early in morning for this 😃
Stick around, learn a little, and it gets easy to keep up with what he's saying
"I digress" could becone the intro catchphrase haha.
If you ask me, the keto diet is not for most people. It is just really difficult to stick with and you feel exhausted. But the Agoge diet on the other hand feels great, and it works too.
HERE'S A TOPIC TO REVIEW:. WOMEN WHO HAVE HAD RADICAL HYSTERECTOMY and no longer have ovaries AT ALL. AT 40, 50, 60 and 70... how are they affected by adrenal burn out? How can keto be utilized for energy??
Plz do a video about ur experience on loosing the last 10 lbs and skin tightening and the fix to the struggle we face at the end . while we build muscle at the same time .
He has a video of this
it s general not his own experience plus I tried all of that
How would taking physiological doses of rHGH affect or be effected by hyperinsulinemia?
If you're losing weight, what burns first? Visceral fat or the subcutaneous fat around stomach, back, and sides? IOW, if I'm a male in my late 60s, and I've been on a keto diet for a year and gotten my subcutaneous fat well down, can I expect that my visceral fat is already gone, or have I not started losing it yet?
So...any suggestions on a good testosterone supplement?
My daughter has epilepsy, but she has Catamenial epilepsy. Estrogens (in particular estradiol, the most important of the different estrogen forms) have potent proconvulsant properties. They exert an excitatory effect on neurons by stimulating the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)- type glutamate receptor. In women with epilepsy, intravenous administration of conjugated estrogens activates epileptiform discharges and may result in seizures. Would a Keto diet be ok, or recommended? I know with uncontrolled epilepsy, it has been recommended
Thomas, When you say "a very low calories ketogenic diet" how low was it ?
See his recent "How to eat carbs without storing them as fat . . ." for some insight on calorie reduction!
Eat less than you actually do or eat less calorie dense foods through each meal :)
Oo na
Thank you... I had missed this one somehow
So, slightly confused now. But, should I be adding cruciferous vegetables or not? I'm 51 and have been going through Menopause, but was PCOS to begin with.
I started keto two months ago in the first six weeks I dropped 37 pounds then I backed off for two weeks now I’m getting back in the keto with intermittent fasting again. I backed off because I was worried about my metabolism
A lil off subject but what do u think of olly brand supplements... i was doing some cleaning and found an "old" bottle of olly energy gummies I thought i lost and it said it has theanine in it
I must be doing keto wrong 😵💫 because my stomach won’t budge . And I stopped losing weight after the first week. I been on the same weight for the past month . I even strength train 5 times a week AND do a 16:8 fasting method . Keto was good for those first couple of pounds , but I’m not getting anywhere else with it.
Me too! That’s why I’m here!
Some of us, our health has a few issues our body needs to heal more so its going to take a lot longer to change shape and loose body fat. Your body could be converting the body weight into Muscle weight. Are your clothes looser? Are you starting to have more energy, feeling better on the inside?
I thought it wasn't working when I first started on this journey, as scales seemed to not move much, until a Facebook memory would come up. It was then, I could see that it was working. I looked younger and healthier. DON'T GIVE UP! Keep going.
Now into my 6th year doing keto, Intermitted Fasting, now upto 20 hrs:4 window. 2 meals a day. Getting to 1 & 1/2 meals a day recently.
When I first started, I struggled to do 14:6 with 3 & 1/2 meals a day. Just keep going.
Where can I find the answer???
I doubt you'll see this but you should have a weekly video of you rating TikTok keto recipes. You don't necessarily have to make them but at the end of them give it a thumbs up or down if they're TD approved. Thoughts?
The main reason I started dieting was to get rid of cellulite, however the keto diet made it unbearable. That's why I tried the *Agoge diet* and it worked great
You always talk about women and estrogen after menopause... can you please do a video for women who are breastfeeding or postpartum. Hormone levels are similar but I'm wondering if the same effect and results happen with these 2 groups. Thankyou!
Lost 40kg on 8 month of keto.
But only 1kg came from stomach fat.
My stomach fat refuses to .....
And my HBa1c stays high (prediabetes).
While FBG is "normal" (if i was on a carb diet i guess).
HBa1c is weird.
Both my HBa1c and the no fatburning on the stomach.
Combined with high cortisol.
And low testosterone.
Indicate i have chronic gluconeogensis going on.
What realisticly can i do to fix this?
I am defintly in ketosis.
Both my urine sticks and breat testinstrument confirms i am heavily into ketosis.
So 8 month:
40 kg down.
Which was 7 kg muscles:(
(Feels almost as heavy to walk now as before the 40kg weightloss... as i lost 7kg muscles!:(
And 25kg was fat loss.
The reminder (40-7-25=8kg seems to have been mostly water that was binded to carbs, protein, etc, etc earlier i guess).
And of those 25kg fat... only 1kg fat came from the stomach area.
All the 24kg came from arms and legs.
Sooo annoying.
I hate gluconeogenesis etc.
Can you give advice on family/marriage health and fitness? I can't get my wife and young kids to eat healthy. Even my wife just sneaks food. My oldest 13 is joining me but mostly cause I'm not giving him a choice lol
Start with yourself everything takes time there's no way to motivate someone that close through words only through action you're wife will get healthier as she sees you lighting up from your own health transitions
Get in shape and tell her you are giving her the best of yourself and you expect the best of her or its over.. its really that simple.. step up and be the man.. but like stated above, get in shape and lead by example
I feel your pain brother. Not so much with my kids though. My son does boxing in the summer and actually needs to put on weight but my wife keeps bouncing up and down in weight and I think it effecting her well being.
I've been good on keto but I recently jumped onto the sarms wagon and Holy fuck do I get amazing results. No more skinny fat lol. I got a great muscle build and I'm almost ripped. I noticed great results in 1 week!
@@travisdouglas5510 the what wagon? Did you mean to type carnivore?
My kids gravitate toward high carb junk food. When their dad and I got divorced he introduced them to the standard American diet for the first time. That was a greater loss for me than the marriage honestly, seeing my kids gorge themselves with trash. I have a BS in nutrition, which makes it even harder for me lol
With that said I didn’t eat great at their age. It took maturity for me to come around. Luckily they are very active and not at all overweight but I guarantee they are setting the stage for prediabetes, which is where I landed myself in my 30s.
Regarding the spouse, well I’ve already decided I won’t marry someone, or likely even date someone, who trashes his body. Because at my age (47),
who is the one who will have to clean up the mess of his poor health choices? Me. No thanks. I’m almost done raising kids. I’m not going to be someone’s caretaker. Not when they willingly put themselves at risk for heart attack, stroke, obesity, etc.
that’s tough though if you’re already married. Be a shining example. It’s will eventually impact them I would think...
Also I’m
Currently on vacation, myself and 3 teens. Guess who has the most energy at the end of the day due to keto diet? Me! I’m decades older and I run circles around these kids with focus and energy. I point it out when they get tired. I say look at what I eat and how much energy I have. It will eventually sink in when productivity actually matters to them.
Man... I want those Keto Crisp bars on the East Coast.
Is it bad to have hyperactive thyroid? I don’t have Graves’ disease but a slightly elevated thyroid. Should I treat it or leave it alone?
Hey Thomas. Based on the video most guys need more testosterone, especially guys over 40 like myself. What is the best supplement to boost testosterone with combination of certain foods.
Oysters?
Really, the video itself emphasizes that reducing visceral fat via keto/fasting will itself increase testosterone levels by reducing aromatization of T by visceral fat. A study is cited showing that exogenous T will reduce visceral fat, but the dangers of using that are well-known and would seem to make it a last choice kind of option.
By eating keto high fat our testosterone automatically increases . I'm 53 years old I had low testosterone in the 150 range. After 3 months keto my testosterone was in the mid 500 range. You can also increase your testosterone and human growth levels with fasting and doing hiit cardio twice a week
Being middle aged (slowing metabolism) is strongly associated with being subject to more marketing for weight loss programs?
Is a small bowl of oatmeal keto friendly? I've been doing keto a month and lost 10 pounds so far...exogenous ketones has really helped alot! My waist looks trim.
Check your carbs..... probably NOT
It's definitely not. They do have hemp oats that are great though. Try that instead and always read the back of the box. Remember to count sugar with your carbs and subtract fiber. Good luck!
You're right. I've only been eating oatmeal 2 days now but have been bloated. Back to bacon and eggs.
I've been doing 1/4 cup of Oats with 2tbsp psyllium fiber and whey isolate for 6 months and stayed in ketosis. I exercise every day and lift heavy in the gym 5x a week though. At the end of the day its just about your overall carb intake.
@@HanschCricketmaus makes sense. Thankyou Chris.
Guys in my family with a big gut "...but I still wear a 33 waist in jeans!" they say (meanwhile gut hanging over their belt) Maybe I'll fwd your videos instead of trying to explain why they should care about their health. It's hard to talk to loved ones about things like this.
Thanks for this information! ❤️. I have been wondering how estrogen and keto affect the fat around the middle
What’s the ideal waist to hip ratio?
Can you watch the new dr berg video he released today about cancer. He said ketones alone can allow the cancer membranes to grow. Very confused. Don’t know what to do.

Oh great. I take exogenous ketones, now I'm really confused. I assumed cancer thrived off sugar. 🙈
@@SincerelyKristen if you watch that video it will confuse the hell out of you. I have to re evaluate my diet. Maybe we just don’t eat anything lol.

Unanswered: How you burn visceral fat on the ketogenic diet.
I actually don’t get any helpful advice from this channel. I tried to give it another go and then read your comment above. So true
Thought it was just me not learning how to burn visceral fat. He failed us
@@mike856msUltimately I think we burn it from our liver quickly but from our gut in some proportion to subcutaneous fat. I’ve been keto for 2 1/2 years and lost over 100 pounds but the body fat scale still shows an unhealthy amount of visceral fat. I’m fully fat adapted but not there yet. Most of the fat I lost was in the first year. Almost none was in the last year. Only recently have I begun aggressively fasting again and increasing protein. I think that’s working.
I literally rewatched it because I thought maybe I missed the answer.
Ummm...You burn it on a keto diet. In this video he talked about the actual biological chemistry of how the diet actually causes visceral fat loss.
What a pick up line "I've got aromatized testosterone baby!"
Thomas. Craig wondering what happened to my strict Keto faded out for often high carb.
Ought s person fight that crave for Donuts get back into Keto for assurance of weight over long time staying off. How does cycling Keto/Carbs go?
In 2018 I accidentally went keto by doing OMAD of eating 1 apple and 3 drumsticks everyday for 3 months. I also walked everyday for like 3 hours. Didnt lose a pound on the scale but I no longer had "apple shape" body and went from a 1XL shirt size to a Medium??
Just a hint: The Apple had nothing to do with it except hinder progress.
@@CarbageMan Ah I see. I didnt even know I was doing a keto type thing. My body for some reason was telling me to eat this way but I have no idea why. After a while I switched to eating salmon everyday as my OMAD on top of half a bell pepper with mayo and dill. I think thats when my belly starting shrinking now that I think of it.
@@kayc.8283 Salmon is great. However, doing OMAD has two issues: it's easy to get stuck in a rut eating the same thing and robbing yourself of nutrient variety, and it can be difficult to ingest all the nutrients you need in one meal. Not that salmon is bad-especially wild, with the skin. I try to get it at least once or twice a week. I go on grass-fed lamb kicks, too. I'll usually eat lean after weight training-like chicken breast, shrimp or white fish.
I'm a big fan of 20/4, often backing off to 18/6 or 16/8. For a stall, skipping food on a weekend day or two works great for me (I go for long walks instead.)
@@CarbageMan So Im new to proper keto. I kinda stopped what I was doing in 2018, I forget why tbh but im now learning how to do it all properly so I can go back on it.i started on Wednesday but cheated a couple times, one with an ice cream bar and once with a small handful of white rice only bc I was SOOO hungry I felt like I was gonna pass out. When you say 20/4 are you referring to Intermittent fasting? What does it mean? Like fasting for 20 hours and then getting all your macros in between that 4 h period?? Im so confused with how to start. I got a keto calc and am trying to stick to the suggested macros for the first month. Lets see what happens I guess?
@@kayc.8283 Yeah, unfortunately, what happens is you start from zero for a couple days every time you cheat. :-(
Right, 20/4 is time restricted eating. I don't say "intermittent fasting" for that, because it's not intermittent, right? A lot of people do call it that, though. If you feel like eating, eat, but make it protein and fat. You don't have to go right to 20/4. The easiest way to start is just eating later and later. Wait until your hungry, and push it a little. Try drinking coffee, tea or water, maybe even have some salt.
The most important thing, though, is to substitute proteins and fats for sugars, grains and starchy vegetables. Hope that helps. Counting the carbs really is key, at first. What made me confident was knowing I could eat the fats that were previously off limits. Butter and cheese can be good bridge foods. Later on, butter, nuts and cheese can be a trap, and easy to overeat. For now, though, it's imperative to avoid the sugars and grains.
PS: If you're feeling dizzy, it can be low electrolytes. If you cut the carbs, you're going to lose water, and electrolytes with those, so you need more salt, potassium and magnesium. I supplement magnesium (try magnesium malate, not magnesium chloride or magnesium carbonate.) For potassium, try adding NoSalt brand salt substitute to your food in addition to sea salt. When fasting, you may want to be sure and still get these even if not eating. You can get dizzy from this, though usually that's from a drop in blood sugar from high to normal. If you fast at all, you should test your blood sugar to make sure it doesn't go too low (like, below 70.)
Oh, I love these Keto Krisps. They sell them at my local Publix. They're expensive buying one at a time and I tend to eat too many, so I feel like I have to only eat one at a time, but they are great and totally a perfect keto snack
Hi Thomas, thank you so much for everything.. I’ve been on Keto for a month and lost 11 kilos, still has 30 to go.. I’m doing well.. but I’m struggling with sleeping disorder, I don’t sleep well anymore I wake up so many times during the night.. is there anything i could do to resolve this please
Thank you so much 😘
Have a kiwi 🥝15-30 min before bed it's help with sleep just try it out or go for sleep supplement melatonin
Dr Eckberg talks about it as something that goes away with time.
Add a little more carbs, fruit, before bed. Dont eat too much but fruit carbs are not to be totally taken out
Test your blood sugar... Maybe it's getting to low in the night and even your ketos can get too high. Both is dangerous.
OK - i watched video - i have lost 20 pounds on keto in past 3 months - but no visceral fat - 70yo - polymyositis x 20yr - prostate cancer x 2yr - so, with lupron, my testosterone is almost zero - so how can i lose visceral fat if polymyositis (can barely walk, fall easily, can walk 0.3 miles in 30 minutes with several rest stops) - and - no testosterone - will i always have visceral fat - oh yes - weight 175 down from 195 - but still visceral fat stomach - thanks
can having high belly fat keep insulin levels high in the body, even when fasting or doing keto/carnivore?
Back to my question. Why isn't estrogen therapy being used for apple shaped and inverted triangle body shaped women instead of all the suffering with T2D, PCOS and infertility but it's given to men freely for MTF transition?
Who don't you look at the camera.
So, if I decrease or eliminate estrogen supplement for menopause symptoms, I could decrease the visceral fat?
up
Hi, Thomas~I live with sleep apnea and resultant high cortisol levels. Do you have any suggestions on how to lower/cleanse cortisol levels exogenously?
Eat ashwagandha
Check out Dr. Stasha Gominak
i dont get it, i have high muscle mass, but still a gut, my glucose is between 70-100 almost ALL the time. once in a while after some excessive carbs (apple fritter the side of my head) i might see it hit 115-120. which is still considered damn good.
Whey protein isolate is one of the ingredients of those snacks.......
Nice
I have always had bigger legs and I hate it, I’ve done well though recently, went from 240 to now sitting at around 200 but my upper thighs are still pretty big even though I have slimmed down considerably in most other areas, it’s probably going to be the last place the fat comes off, just got to ride the momentum and keep on track
Hey Thomas, what is your view on this Huel product that I have seen on tv??
@TechKaboom what do you make this huel shake product?
I use huel and really like it. I strongly suggest Huel Black because it has 50% reduces carbs
Don’t buy or have garbage food pay attention to what goes in your mouth
Thomas can you train me? I lost weight on Keto but now I am perimenopausal and THE STRUGGLE IS REAL!!!!!!!! ALSO I am controlled diabetic. I am doing EVERYTHING natural and soooo mindful of my eating.. I need to get a personal trainer😭😭😭😭
What's with the reply to a lot of comments suggesting WhatsApp contact, is it a fake account?
Of course it is. If you click on their profile, it displays that it was created 2 weeks ago. The WhatsApp scam has been used for a decent amount of time now. The higher effort ones have several accounts that will engage in conversation with themselves in a comment section to give the appearance of legitimacy.
I've been going on a report spree. Help us out, would you? 🙂
Appears so.
@@LaserStorm117 Challenge accepted. It just threw me by using the same name & image that Thomas uses.
Edit: Reported account and a whole load of posts.
@@stonkr , hell yeah! I like that attitude. Mad respect, Stonkr. Thank you for the help, too 🙂
Yeah, scummy people aim for as much deception as they can think of. Why these people use lies and screw people over as a preferred method of advancement is just beyond me.
What does it mean if a man stores excess fat in his hips, thighs and butt or the spots that women would normally store fat?
Thomas I've been 13 and a 1/2 hour to 18 hour fasting a day. Can you feel fat burn,?
Can you have insulin resistance and be skinny?
Yes. If you have a bad body composition
yes! and PreDiabetic
Yes you can. Thomas was pre-diabetic and is insulin resistance that's why he is on keto if you see his past videos. If he goes on carbs his sugar level will go up. He needs to stay low carb/keto to keep his pre diabetes in remission.
If you have fatty organs, especially liver, yes. In fact being skinny with fatty liver makes you more insulin resistant than having large amounts of subcutaneous fat along with liver fat.
@@varunkamal91 well i ended up taking an overdose after having a massive anxiety attack, now i show all the symptoms of insulin resistance, such as tired after eating, craving carbs etc, i wouldn’t know if my liver if fatty but im very low body fat
As an person with Down syndrome what should I do?
I tried all these diets and gave up on all but one. Only the *Agoge diet* helped me lose that stubborn belly fat.
Thank you for sharing! I would like to request a few short videos that do not include lengthy scientific sources. I have been watching your wonderful videos for over 4 years. I absolutely love to learn the science and love to research. However I am just curious to see more videos from you that are shorter and more entertaining. I think you have already proven yourself to be a successful researcher because it is clear your sources are sound. Perhaps a playlist done for the lomg time subscribers would be nice. We long time subscribers will accept your shared content as reliable without you providing your sources. I believe in the saying trust but verify. So ofcourse you are trustworthy. It is not a negative request. I believe it would be positive. A very short playlist of this kind would be a sweet addition to your channel. I appreciate all of your videos! My request may seem selfish but it may also be what some subscribers are thinking as well but not saying. Ofcourse I am not saying I would like you to change anything about your style. I just thought a little addition would be nice. 😊😊
By doing intense 3 hours gym
That’s how 🥳
Yeah and then having a 16-piece family-sized cake all to yourself, also don't forget dessert - the 2kg icecream box sitting in the freezer. After all of that, go destroy the gym equipment all you want.
