Hi guys. So the thumbnail is supposed to be of me having a headache! haha! It does look a bit weird. Anyway, I'd love to hear what you think of the video. Drop me a comment below!
Hello! I’ve been on low carb plus intermittent fasting for 4 days and low carbs for 3. Honestly I got no problem doing fasting the problem was when I started eating less carbs. I have 3 days getting headaches, general feeling of weakness , a lil more thirst... I’m so tired and sleepy? Am I killing myself? Help!!
Dr Dan Maggs I’ve been keto 20g or less of carbs for nearly 2 weeks. I’m not as hungry as usual. Maybe 1 meal and a snack with tons of water and I’m fine. I haven’t lost any weight yet but I know it’s coming soon so I’m sticking to it!
@ROM LUNDY Keto is training your body to survive off a different type of fuel - Fats. It goes against everything we've been told in the past. You can basically eat bacon every day and still lose weight while on Keto.
Thank you for clearing up the keto "flu". I thought I wasn't able to get into ketosis because I wasn't experiencing sickness and had very mild negatives. Blood tested and found out I was good. I think one point that's often missed is heightened increase to irritability. I was a straight up asshole during the first month.
@@kashmandir2325 You're probably not in Ketosis. Research the internet how to ensure that. Make sure you keep your carbs low - Under 20 grams would be ideal. ALSO ENSURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. RESEARCH VIA THE INTERNET.
I am 48 yo. On the keto diet for 2 months. I have been anxious and irritable, with a foggy mind, arthritis, very low energy, and 20 lbs. heavier for like 2 years. I was skeptical at the beginning. Well, 2nd week, keto flu. Really bad. After that no more anxiety, all cravings gone. Like a war inside my mind and body was over. I am eating half as much now but I am not hungry. After 40 days I had lost 7 lbs. I started to work out again. Clear mind like a younger me and reduced inflammation (update: A year now. I’ve lost 30 lbs. Almost exclusively carnivore now. Some well selected veggies and carbs once in a while. Gained a lot of muscle. Self inmune conditions gone. No more pain, low energy or depression. All good).
I'm 72, been on Keto since end of October 2019. Have lost 65 pounds. I am disabled so can't do walking much. Lots of sitting down exercises. I am losing fat now and retaining muscle. I sleep 100% better! I can use my muscles now without straining. I don't huff and be out of breath anymore. Keto diet is the ONLY diet in my whole life that's worked! And I've been on them all! ...Diana in Milwaukee Wisconsin
Thanks Diana for reporting your experience! And congratulations to your stamina .. maybe you can have a look at EMS muscle training; I'm doing it for nearly two years now and though not cheap - I love it 👍😅
I have been on the Keto diet for over 2 months. I am 60 years old and there is another wonderful effect aside from those you had described: reduced inflammation! The dull ache in my left knee is gone and so is the ache in my hip! It is great that I can walk up stairs pain free! :0)
That’s amazing! I’m 52 and have been doing for few months and lost NOTHING except maintain my weight. I don’t know why. Can you offer any advice, tips, help!
@@Ty-mh3ey if you’ve been potentially adding any muscle through exercise and high protein during the time you’re in keto, it’s very possible to stick around the same weight while still losing fat and getting the other benefits.
Once you break the sugar addiction permanently, you'll notice you don't get as hungry anymore.... Then fasting becomes a lot easier... You wanna talk "reducing inflammation" ??? Start FASTING!!! I'm doing 3 day fasting now, and the results are practically miraculous!! My blood pressure has PLUMMETED to 110 -120 systolic!!!
Friends, when you decide to go on a Ketogenic lifestyle and you’re going through your kitchen collecting all the sugar and grain products, please do not throw them away; give it to your local food bank and help feed the homeless. Thank you.
Day 4 of ketosis. All my carb cravings are gone, lost 3 pounds, and live off of barely 2 meals a day with no hunger pains ever!! I feel alert the second I wake up in the morning. This diet really does work miracles.
I've lost 36 pounds in 2 months on Keto. Every symptom you described I have experienced. I am surrounded by gluttonous people at work and at home. The hardest part is the first week. If you get through that it gets easier
Well done. My Dad is 83 I was swithering about suggesting a more Keto-y diet, I might suggest it. TBH, its just more or less going back to what he ate in his youth!
Have you also come across how gylcogen is stored with 2 parts water for every part glycogen? When your body was previously using glucose it stored some as glycogen but also stored water with it. When u begin dumping this out and using those stores the water is gotten rid of. This is why people lose weight rapidly at first because it's all of the stored water being flushed out. Needing the toilet so much does settle down when ur body acclimatises to this WOE. He really should have mentioned this in his video but oh well. Some people's urine can turn green too!
@@Kevinselasie Try your best to avoid bread and grains, your body definitely needs carbs but look for healthy carbs found in healthy nuts and fruits but don't overdue the fruit just try to be very aware of the sugar content in anything you eat, so I guess the answer to your question is low carbs but really ...LOW, hope this helps.
I am about two weeks in and I have to say I almost dont feel hunger. I can easily do 18-6 interminent fasting or skip eating for full 24 hours. I am just worried about lovering my metabolism I want this diet to "eat away" all of my fat :)
I’ve been in ketosis for about 4 months. Six months ago, I gave up all grains, sugars and high carb fruits and veggies in one day because I have type 2 diabetes and I wanted off my meds. I had had too many low blood sugar events because of the meds. It took 2 months to get into ketosis. I believe because I had such huge stores of glycogen. But I hung in there and here I am six months later: progressed from 16/8 fast to 18/6 to 20/4 to OMAD; walking 8,000 steps per day plus muscle toning exercises; and weight 170->134. I feel so good with this lifestyle I feel like I was given the keys to the kingdom … the secrets of the universe. Oh, and mental acuity… I’m now studying quilting, French, piano, cooking, and cabinet making. I love this lifestyle, I love learning, I’m off the meds, blood glucose levels remain low, and I’m never going back.I’ll always be diabetic but I manage it without meds.
Thank you for telling me how long it took you to get into ketosis. Like you I am T2, I also have a fatty liver. 4 weeks ago I quit all my diabetes medication (esp insulin) and on the same day I also quit carbs, fruits, veg etc and thought that I had gone into ketosis, but hadn't had any of the mental clarity that people keep talking about. I guess ketosis will happen when my body is good and ready, but until then I am ecstatic with how much better my blood glucose levels are, they're so much lower and level throughout the day. So even if for some bizarre reason I never achieve ketosis, I will continue a carb free diet for all the other health benefits it brings.
@@NiceLoki Hi, Congratulations! I remember how thrilled I was when I was finally in ketosis. I guess I had a big buildup of stored sugar to use up first. I don’t know. But, it did happen, and the clarity of thinking, the terrific energy levels, the delicious meals and the overall wellness were worth the effort. Best of luck!
ElijahSaurusRex just started about 2 weeks ago and I’m only eating about 30 grams of carbs of that and high protein. Protein shakes , meat and lots of green veggies and people already noticed I’m loosing some weight
@@needfulthings6603 We also learned that glucose is essential for optimal brain functioning. People who eat enough glucose can focus better and have better results at school. So a low carb diet isn't good for that either
@@needfulthings6603 You can, however, bring your body into ketosis without cutting out carbs and without eating big amounts of these unhealthy foods, by intermittent fasting. Your body goes into ketosis if you haven't eaten in a while too. So a keto diet can be healthy if it's done by intermittent fasting instead of low carb.
I've been struggling w/food addiction and sugar addiction for years and and yes, after only about ONE week my appetite/hunger has diminished!!! Wow! I am sooo surprised and happy about it!!
I had "keto flu" really bad 20 years ago when I first started low carb. For two and a half days, I felt like I was coming off drugs, then I started losing weight so fast, it was alarming my friends while they told me eating that way and that much couldn't possibly work. 410 pounds down to 265 pounds in 8 months. I never needed to be hungry, and I felt great on it.
1. Add Chia and more fiber rich veggies to overcome constipation 2. If you can’t really tolerate the headache, I use methol rubs. 3. I also take supplements during feasting time like potassium, zinc and vitamin D. I also put trace minerals in my water. You’re losing nutrients so we need to replenish them. Hope this is helpful ☺️
That trace mineral replacement is very well advised. I do this in a very inexpensive and practical manner. Every cup of tea, decaf coffee or plain water that I drink I drop in a crystal of SEA SALT to get those trace minerals on a consistent basis. Go for the highest quality sea salt on the store shelf that you can find. Pink Himalayan is probably the best but you don't fine it everywhere.
I just have to say back then when I was eating carbohydrates. When I would go to the gym, After exercising I always got so hungry. Now that I do not eat carbohydrates. I do not feel hungry after I exercise, which is a shock.😧 Also I barely get hungry barely. kind of bothers me because I am naturally and an emotional eater. And I'm more aware of what I'm putting in my body. I mean this new way of thinking is a huge adjustment for me. These are lifestyle changes. Update again I lost 75 pounds!!☺
The point is , is what I stated true or not google" body's main source of fuel" tell me what it says . You have to be humble admit what's right and follow it so you don't ruin your health . I'm trying to help people not get them angry . God wants me to warn people Keto is not healthy at all see Pr 24 : 11 [Niv] bible .
@Fabius Maximus 😂 Since childhood for me! Anyway,my kin still don't get it and think intermittent fasting is dangerous...That being said,I do remember when I felt that way as well,but I got educated!
Hi . I lost 17 lb in my first 30 days . All the symptoms you mentioned has happened to me and I love everything about it . Im a heavy guy started at 325 lb and planning to keep it for my life .
Three days in I had a semi confused, low energy and felt like wow this is gonna be really tough. I did some breathing exercises and drank some water and it passed by that evening. Now I’m a week in and have dropped a few pounds. The most recent and best thing I’ve experienced was the clear head and overall feeling of positivity. It was pretty profound actually.
There's a certain point where your body has burned up every last molecule of sugar it had squirreled away and it's out of fuel and panicking. Unfortunately, it also typically hits around the same time as the carbohydrate withdrawals start. You'll feel like roadkill for a day or so until it discovers it has other energy sources to use. The body is a bit of a drama queen that way lol. But yes, as mentioned by el, electrolytes are a big deal because they go wonky and out of balance during the transition period.
@@BDThomas I cannot stand the electrolyte drinks with the artificial sweeteners and I hate salt! Lol. I tried the salt with lemon in water and it didn't make me wretch too bad, but just marinating my steak in salt for awhile and salting my eggs good seems to work for me.
So I'm just about to start this...I'm just doing some research first. I've read the first week or two to have 3g fats to 1g of protein to help kick start your body into breaking down fats and using them as energy. So for breakfast high fat moderate protein lunch low fat and higher protein then dinner high fats and low protein
I’m on my second week and have felt great. I’ve only lost 2lbs but at 64 and have a few health issues I know it will take time. I feel more determined than I have in a long time. Not hungry but I think I should maybe eat a later breakfast and eat two meals instead of three. I hope and pray everyone reaches their goal.
More than two weeks following low CHO, and in OMAD (one meal a day) I experienced all what you said, I’m over 65, and feeling a lot better, no cravings, no hungry at all! And losing weight. I think this is going to be a new way of living. I programmed myself. No suffering, I could made this switch from day one ! This is the beginning, and I am convinced that keeping this way, my chances for getting any Chronic degenerative diseases will be lower.
@@judeirwin2222 You never saw a typo online??? who has time to go around nitpicking people's errors? Or do you just have a problem with the "o" in his name?
every morning i wake up and feel like its gonna be another exciting day on Keto ! Also reduced stress level. And start to believe im myself. We guys can achieve our goals on Keto. Its for sure
I’ve tried Keto many times before but gave up before reaching ketosis. This time it’s different! Finally I can see it on the test strips that I’m on ketosis, I’m losing weight, less inflammation on my joints, much much more energy than ever, occasional headache because I do intermittent fasting along with keto. I’ve been doing it for a little over 30 days and dropped 2 pant sizes. I am beyond thrilled & determined to make this my lifestyle. Best of luck to all those starting this journey- don’t give up. 😊
Great job. Having used KETO to lose weight myself I have this advice. Make sure to get enough fat, and especially low enough carbs, but don't be too ambitious. If you limit your food intake too much too fast you risk losing your motivation. When you feel like it does a 18+ hours fasting, maybe 1-3 times a week. But don't force it, do it when it feels natural and not a big deal. If you don't do fasting then you should react by limiting your food intake a bit at a time, but again don't overdo it. This is not a sprint but a marathon. My doctor told me they have done new research that says that your body will get back to your maximum weight for 10 years after you lost the weight. With KETO i got my weight down to 79-83 Kg and have kept it there for 2,5 years now. 4-6 months after I stop being on KETO I start to get so hungry all the time, and gain a bit of weight and go up in body fat % a bit, also fasting leaves me with no energy and feeling bad. Then I know the fat-burning effect of having been on KETO is gone and I'll do KETO again. Usually, I do it for around 2 months, except for the first time when I lost most of the weight in one long go with some short breaks.
Don't feel like eating at all. Have to make myself eat something healthy. Am also doing intermittent fasting, lost 7 lbs so far this month, have 72 to go
How long have you been on the Keto diet? Good luck. I discovered that the almond butter I was eating was slowing down my weight loss..500 extra calories if I was counting!
I've lost 24 pound since August 25. From 259 to 235 It's kinda ruff at first. I had a headache, which I hardly had befor I started, but now I fell wonderful ! When you put on jeans you haven't wore In 3 years. I am really happy witn Keto diet.
I'm on day 4 and started intermittent fasting yesterday as it came naturally, not being hungry in the morning. I could never go without breakfast before, but it's been easy last couple of days. I hope I can keep it going!
I started intermittent fasting a year ago. Fasting from 7 pm until 9 am the next morning. Worked great as I’ve never been a breakfast eater and it cut out my evening snacking. Lost 10 lbs. Now I’m going to try this Keto diet so I can loose another 30 lbs and reach my goal.
I definitely felt sick! Serious headaches and nausea! Thank goodness it only lasted 4-5 days. Once it passed I dropped weight, no nausea, felt mentally brighter!!! What a difference!! I started this journey because I was getting TERRIBLE MIGRAINES! It has helped remove lots of foods that can cause them. Especially processed foods
I’m soooo glad I came across your comment! I’ve been looking for a video that mentions nausea but haven’t came across any! I thought I was crazy lol. But definitely I’m having very similar symptoms as you- headache and a lot of nausea. What I found that helps with the headache is zero sugar (obviously) electrolyte drinks! 😁
I'M STARTING MY KETO - SIX (6) MONTHS - GOTTA EAT THE GROCERIES... - I JUST STUMBLED UPON THIS - "KETO DIET - AND - THE PALEO DIET" - I BOUGHT FOOD FOR THE WEIGHT WATCHERS - DIET - I'LL DO WEIGHT WATCHERS - THEN PALEO - THEN KETO...GRADUALLY MERGING INTO EACH... - I'LL SEE HOW I FEEL - SEEK MY DR'S ADVICE/OPINION FIRST... - ALL DIETS REDUCES CARB INTAKE - SO FOR ME - I'LL BE DOING/TAKING IT SLOW... - GOOD LUCK TO ALL
Now I know I'm in ketosis, this finally feels worth it! I was having some huge doubts as to if I should continue because I was just feeling like crap but now I know that its my body adjusting, I feel really good about it! Excited to see my results!
I started a ketogenic diet 6 weeks ago and have lost 18Kg. I can’t believe how much better I feel. I experienced all of the 9 symptoms discussed in this video. My insomnia has been the worst. I wake up at 3am just about every night and toss and turn for an hour before finally falling back asleep. Apart from that, I’d recommend this diet to anyone that needs to lose weight quickly.
@@shahnazp1712 hi! I started 2 weeks ago and didn't even know I was doing a "keto" diet! It's really simple. I just count total carbs on packages or look them up on the web. I'm having between 20-25 carbs daily. No sweets, no breads, no rice, no pastas. I mainly eat lots of fresh eggs from my hens and unprocessed meats like steaks, bacon, sausage and some chicken. I use sausage because I raise my own pork.(I don't know if store bought sausage is keto.) Lots of natural fats like virgin olive oil, bacon butter (strained bacon grease) and real butter. I will add onions and peppers to my breakfast and some squash or a small salad with my dinner meat. It really is simple if you don't eat anything sweet, nothing premade or out of a box, and nothing processed, like lunch meats or pre-shedded cheese because it has starch on it to keep it from clumping...oh and I eat cheese with everything! But only real cheese- no "cheese product" or "cheese food". I don't get into all the keto diet recipes, mainly because I don't want to go hunting for the substitutes and I just want to get used to not eating certain things, like bread, potatoes, and desserts and in two weeks I have! Some people use artificial sweeteners but I would advise against it because alot of them are not healthy and even artificial sweets can keep the cravings going. I haven't had any cravings for sweets since day 3 by just not having anything that tasted sweet. My biggest hurdle was my coffee mate creamer that I've been hooked on for 25 years...but heavy whipping cream seems to be good enough now! I'm also doing intermittent fasting. Most people go for 8 hour eating window and 16 hour fasting. I'm doing 6/18 split. I'm actually almost doing a carnivore diet except for the little bit of fresh veggies. If you try to do everything natural, like me the meat is very filling, fats keep cravings away and make sure to use a little extra salt to keep from getting constipated. Veggies are just because I'm a gardener and I can't live without them☺️ I usually start my day at 6:30 and drink black coffee and water until my eating time (noon) then I eat as much as it takes to satisfy without overeating--chew your food well and take your time eating! Then after 6 pm I only have herbal tea or water. No carbs outside of your eating window is key! I've been going for 2 weeks today and have lost 9.6 pounds. And it's not difficult at all. This is literally the easiest diet I've ever done!
@@jswhosoever4533 hi dear.sorry i sm not good in english..in fact l am going to try it.but i cannot drink coffe without sth sweet.l avoid eating bread..rice...potato...fruita and other things.. i lose eigt kilos in two monts..but i had cheat in keto diet..i ate some carbs
I started off with low carbs and no snacking and cutting down alcohol 🍷. I started going to the gym doing exercise 4 times a week. Then I removed certain sugary fruits Luke apple and banana 🍌. Then as soon as increased the fat, protein with green salads and vegetables 🥦 I began to feel funny and didn’t exercise as much feeling tired 😴. Within weeks I noticed an extra 5kgs weigh loss. I don’t feel hungry between meals anymore. I fast for up to 24 hours sometimes
You’re awesome. I work overnights and I keep accidentally doing this. I will you success on your journey. It’s very inspiring reading you guys testimonies
@@vcr4497 Was 199 Now 169 and still dropping, feel 20 years younger, Been on it for about a month and half..unreal!..Im jumping off soon because I over exceeded my expectation of this diet..
@@shrls.zee01 I like the Fat Bombs like a Reese's Cup no carbs and no sugar..and yummy..walmart brand is fine..kinda expensive..Im down to 162 now...Lovin life!
I am on low carb. I've lost 20 lbs quite easily. My carbs are under 110g 85% of the time everyday, I set my max at 150g. Low carb I lose weight much more even. Keep more muscle mass and avoid that skinny fat look. Vs when I did calories in and out. I lost weight but was very skinny fat. Now,My hunger isn't all over the place anymore . I have more energy and less cravings. My starting weight was 167.8 lbs. Current weight is about 147.8 lbs in 4 1/2 months.
I experience a huge dip in blood pressure. So I increase my coffee intake. Also, I'm also more in-tune with my own feelings as well as others. But the HARDEST part is watching my friends and family eating cake 🤣
@• • Winter's Cheekbones • it would take you out of keto but yeah you can have it at your discretion . You’d have to restart the keto process after you ate it though.
@@chynnab2920 I started my new Keto plan 6 weeks and 4 days from today. The day I started I weighed 224, I am 5'10"-ish. Today on the same scale, I weighed 193. So in about 46 days, I've lost 31 lbs. No sugar, One Meal A Day and about an added 8 days of pure solid food fasting. I did to sets of 3 day fasting and one set of 2 day fasting. The last set, I was going to eat something light that night and I just wasn't that excited about it so I just decided to push through and eat nothing. That's when I went from 197 to 195 and kind of beat the plateau I was on. Extremely low carbs too. I think less than 20 per day while I was trying to lose weight.
Great info. We just started keto because we want to be healthy, and my husband has some weight to lose.. so far 4 days and my husband lost 5 pounds, eating 3 healthy and delicious meals a day. Just by getting rid of sugar, limiting carb intake and buying healthier food.. we are so exited for this new and healthy eating journey😍
It's impossible to lose 5 pounds (of fat) in 4 days, unless he ate ABSOLUTELY nothing. Even then I'm not really sure it's possible. What he lost was water and bowel contents.
@@floatingchimney whatever it was, my husband lost 30 pounds in 2 months eating 3 meals a day and a few keto friendly snacks. Also, my mom was diabetic and thanks to God and keto she's lost 50 pounds and is no longer diabetic!!!
it's only been three weeks since I seriously cut back on my Carbs. My decision had nothing to do with losing weight. I felt I needed to do something about the sugar. I can already attest to the fact of weight loss, more energy , no more naps in the afternoon and increased mental clarity. All positives. thanks for the video.
I've got to say the cravings and crashes leaving me is an amazing feeling. Indian diets tend to be very carb and veggie heavy, a few weeks ago I decided to go full carnivore and its been life changing. The acetone breath hit me just now but the weight loss started almost immediately. Insomnia is there and after the initial lethargy I feel like a new person with the amount of energy I have now. I've only eaten breakfast today and the whole day's gone by and here at 7pm I'm writing this and I feel absolutely no need to fix my self a sweet or carb heavy snack. In fact I'm just going to get my business in order and get to bed, haven't eaten dinner in three days, heavy carnivore breakfast, a snack carnivore lunch and no dinner and I feel better than I've ever felt.
The keto flu has hit me 2 times that I recall. Weak and dizzy, in the extreme, lasted a few hours. I am never hungry and I have to work hard to keep weight on. I feel great. No insomnia or intestinal problems. I have stopped 24 hour fasting because I just can’t lose more weight ( at 76 I now weigh what I did graduating college).
After being 30 days on the Keto diet I can say I felt a lot of differences in my body. I actually went Keto to see if it would treat my cystic acne. I just published the start of my journey on my chanel, to help anyone else who is going through with a similar thing. My skin is terrible, but I have noticed differences which is good.
We definately have been sick! Headaches, exhaustion, no appetite and nausea. No fever, no other symptoms. That being said, we are feeling better and I know we are on the right path to a healthier journey! Thank you for the great information and supportive community.
Good video and I agree mostly . I started low carb living not to lose weight ( but lost 80 lbs.) I did it to lose the pre diabetes diagnosis,high BP and high triglycerides. It worked for everything now after 3.5 years low carb I’m 75 years old and am in amazing condition and when I started eating low carb I was a fat ,tired,depressed exhausted metabolic disaster area. My dr. Said this is good results “how did you do it”. 💪🥑🥓😎
Thanks for the video, I have been doing Keto for 15 weeks now and have lost 55.6 pounds. I have been overweight my whole life and did atkins years ago, but, got bored and went off the Diet and gained it all back and then lots more. These days lots of products and recipes that is keeping me interested.
Here ya go.. #9: Flu like symptoms a) headache b). loss of focus c) a little bit tired #8. Keto breath #7: Changes to your bowels #6: decreased exercise performance #5: insomnia #4: reduced appetite. #3: improved mental clarity and more stable moods #2: improved physical energy, no afternoon slumps. #1: weight loss. Also he didn't mention is that your urine might take on a sweet smell and you will have to pee more often. Some people have increased thirst Also you might get leg cramps if you don't get enough salt and potassium while in Keto.
Yeppers, this should be one for sure. I've done this diet on and off. Definitely makes you think you ate something wrong. Or not enough because of the nausea.
Been on a low-carb diet for 10 days now. Haven't really experienced the negatives symptoms, but certainly the more positive effects. Feeling more energetic - ready to get up earlier! - and with reduced appetite and a more positive mental attitude. Lost ten pounds in the first week, but I've heard that that's usual as it's water rather than fat, although I can actually notice some weight loss visually! I feel very positive about this form of eating.
Started Keto 2 weeks ago. Last night I thought I was coming down with the flu (or COVID), but no fever. It was a very rough night! Now I know what was going on!
Doing Keto/IF with 3 day fasting 2-3 times a month. First weekend of fasting had crazy amount of energy and could not fall asleep for the life of me. None of the other negatives, but yes to the positives like mental clarity.
Haha. Same with me. No symptoms except waking up constantly, using bathroom and then up before my 5am alarm. With a ton of energy! I was doing am 18-6 5 days a week at first now i try to do a 22-4 most days of the week. At least 4. The rest of the days may be a 14 hour fast at the minimum.
Great to see a British doctor doing a keto blog. I've lost 32lbs in 2 months on a very strict ketogenic eating plan. I keep my foods as highly nutritional as I can. Weirdly I used to suffer from insomnia and since being on keto I now sleep like a baby. Look forward to seeing more of your videos
Thanks Richie. Yes more videos coming soon. Not weird at all r.e. insomnia. Studies show that people in ketosis often sleep more deeply and may need less sleep than people on 'normal' diets. Congrats on your weight loss!
Richie, day 7. My sleep is better. No insomnia now and much clearer, interesting dreams. Rested and less pain in the morning. And I spend less hours in bed. This is major!
richie box hi there, I just started. Please give me some breakfast, lunch and dinner meals I can use? The ones that I’m been seeing look sooo sooo fatty and unhealthy. Thank you🌸
@@angelinajosina6247 that's the point. You need the fat. You can't replace all the carbs with protein. If you eat too much protein your body will use the excess to form glucose.
I'm sick with a extremly rare muscle illness. Keto gives me more power to walk, breathe, talk,swallow....And I'm losing weight, which is also good for my muscles.
I cant stop recommending moringa. It has all amino acids the body needs and is a good source of vitamins that might be missing from a keto diet. It's just an overall good addition to the keto diet. It also helps stabilize glucose levels if you break the diet with small amounts of sugar.
I’m in my early 70s and I don’t exercise, used to have insomnia, foggy brain, painful joints, craved snacks all day long, but since adopting keto, I am beginning to see through one eye that was heading for cataract surgery much better. I am much clearer in my thinking. My memory is sharp unlike what I’ve been plagued with for a number of years. My depression is gone. I no longer need a nap after eating. One thing I have done that I think needs to be done by all Americans who have eaten non organic grains, i.e., everyone, take probiotics for your gut. Glyphosates are basically antibiotics and have ruined us. After a few weeks, I feel as though I’m in my 30s, only this time with wisdom. Wish I had those years back.
Before I started Keto, I would be sleeping all weekend, wake up tired and about to fall asleep on the drive to work, be sleepy all day, about to fall asleep on the way home, and fall asleep after eating. Now that I am on Keto I can hardly sleep more than 8 hours a day.
I'm so glad I found you! Finally videos from the UK! I have done keto/low carb for 5 weeks. I weigh myself today for the 1st time and it looks like I have lost 10 pounds (even though I went off the rail when I ate chocolate biscuits!) But went straight back on it the next day! I didn't really need to weigh myself because I know I've lost weight as I can wear clothes that I couldn't zip up or button up! So very happy 😊
I had crazy insomnia when I was in ketosis due to fasting .. And though I exercised during the day, I had so much energy at night, I could go for a long run!
Same! I’d be at the gym working my ass off and then have this burst of energy at 10pm. I got a little upset last night about the insomnia and my husband goes “what can I do to help?” I replied with, “got for a run with me.” .... there’s a foot of snow outside but I was dead serious.
This is good info! I experienced the keto flu on day 4, digestive issues by day 5-6, insomnia days 5-8, reduced appetite and general disinterest in eating from day 3 onward, mainly due to getting bored with food and trying to find good food options. Weight loss, 6 lbs by day 5. It's day 9, I slept really well last night and woke up early and felt rested. Looking forward to mental clarity and continued weight loss.
Congrats. As a 20+ year Type ll Diabetic I started a Keto Diet on June 1, 2018, 10 days later my blood sugars level was normal, my Doctor stopped all 4 shots of insulin & pills. Since then I lost 45 lbs on the Keto Diet. I continue the Keto Diet, almost carb free (
Jimmy Kimpan congrats! That’s really awesome. I started Keto 3 weeks ago as a T2 diabetic. 60 years old with so much metal in my body from military service injuries in Iraq. I’ve been strict and have lost only 10 pounds. However, I’m 5’10” and weighed 164 lbs when I began. Since day one on keto, my blood sugar has been great. I was taken 25 units long acting insulin daily, plus whatever amount of short acting needed three times a day and I could never keep my blood sugar at 80. Now, I give myself 13 units long acting and may have to stop that completely bc my BS dropped to 53 before dinner tonight. Haven’t used any short term insulin at all since starting. My exercise is minimal due to my permanent injuries. I’m pleased with food I eat, but the scale hasn’t dropped in several days. I drink tons of water and only black coffee in the morning.
3rd day I started feeling full. 4th day my head hurt and my body aches so I slept it off. 5th day no hunger. 6th day hungry lol. Just taking it one day at a time. 3lbs lost now so far
I'm 70 now, severely diabetic and overweight of course. Started keto about a week ago and already my inflammation of the joints is pretty much gone. Pretty much from day one on I no longer had my blood sugar spike. I have more energy. I could never sleep more than 3 hours a night, bathroom run, back to bed. Now I sleep longer and better and have fewer bathroom runs, my appetite is reduced, and I'm losing weight. I enjoy what I eat very much. I think I can stick with this way of life. Wish me luck.
Omg I’m an intermittent faster and I think I’m getting keto breathe ! I’ve been trying to figure out why my mouth taste so weird and feels dry even though I’m drinking more then enough water. I always thought it had something to do with the water brand but this makes sense.
Greetings from Mexico amigo! Am in ketosis and the bad feeling for me only lasted three days and people started noticing my body sliming with in three days, and for me the best thing about keto was the mental cleanest.
Good stuff Dr. And spot on as well. I’m into my second week of intermittent fasting and low carb diet. I did notice some of the early side effects and definitely have noticed the last 4 positive symptoms of ketosis on your list. I was telling my wife this morning how deep I’ve been sleeping. I have zero food cravings or hunger with the 18:6 fasting interval. Have also lost 3.5 lbs. Energy, mood and concentration are all great.
Excellent video. I’m doing keto for the second time. I took a break of about 2 years. I maintained my weight for about a year with liberal low carb but in the last year I went back. to eating bad carbs and gained over 20 pounds. Lesson learned. My first time around, I had all of the side-effects for about a week. This time, they are less severe and are passing in 3 days, except for the revved up feeling. I still have that after 3 days. It makes me wake up often in the night but from my experience from last time it only lasts a week or so, but it comes back periodically. With that said, in general, I sleep very soundly on Keto.
Great presentation. My reduced hunger from Keto led me to intermittent fasting very easily. My busiest time of day is the morning and Ketogenic diet and intermitten fasting have helpedme but more productive in the mornings, with no energy drops throughout the day.
I remember doing a keto diet while I was fasting for 30days in Ramadan. I lost 1 stone without feeling weak. I felt so good and I had not ate healthy in my past.
The last positives ones are my favorite as well! I suffered from Long COVID brain fog for 8 months and after have just had minor speech and memory issues. Once in ketosis, it was amazing to feel so sharp! Yes, the energy and positive mood as well. Great video thanks! Subscribed!
I did the same then have been at a standstill for weeks. Worse than just ordinary watching what I eat and being healthy. Not enjoying it tbh. None of the positives, all of the negatives. I can hardly go up stairs and I’m sick of the food.
My surgeon put me on a Low Carb High Fat regime pre-Total Hip Replacement surgery, and I lost 50 pounds doing that. By the time I started on the Keto way of eating, one year later, I was already well adjusted for Keto, so I experienced no flu-like symptoms. A year after starting Keto I started Intermittent Fasting. These gradual and progressive adjustments have served me pretty well.
I've just started my second week (day 9). Today the reduced performance REALLY hit me. I'd like to know how long this has lasted for most people. I appreciate your comments and suggestions.
Thank you SO MUCH for helping me to communicate my message in a much clearer way AND for subscribing to my channel! You've been a massive influence on me recently. Loving what you're doing!
It is easier than any other diet because you eat whole foods as folks did in the early 20th century. Crisco, Mazola, Wesson and Margarine are poisons. What happened to the stove side bacon grease cans? Government convinced everyone fats led to heart disease so everyone started eating fake crap and getting fat. Look at pictures of people from 80 years ago and notice the difference.
Keto breath means you're eating too much protein. You only need 4 to 8 oz of protein per meal on this diet. More than 8 oz is too much. Your body will actually turn excess protein into sugar. Headaches and flu symptoms are actually caused by not enough salt or too much water that flushes out the salt. These symptoms aren't normal and actually signal a problem.
Thank you so much for the information. The first thing I noticed was the lack of hunger. I eat 2 meals a day one around 12 noon and then 6-7Pm. I never thought I could fast, but for me it was no problem. I have lost about 10-15 lbs. I am 4' 11" and weigh 99 lbs and don't want to loose anymore.
Thank you for putting this excellent and very helpful video together. I have certainly had these signs! From day 12, I started cycling for about 1.5 hours a day and noticed that I couldn't go as far nor as fast as I usually do. On day 16 (yesterday), I got the dreaded keto-flu! I felt more energised during my morning ride, but found that I was more thirsty than usual; during the ride, I drank two 710ml bottles in 1.2 hours when usually I would drink less than one. Afterwards, I continued to be really thirsty all morning - I just could not get enough water in my system! I also felt nauseous and had a headache which I understand that this is due to the lack of sodium. My appetite also really dropped (total kCals for the day was about 1,400 even though I burned over 1,000 with the morning exercise); up until yesterday, I was eating around 2,200 kCals a day. I resolved the headache and nausea by by drinking some salt in my water and by having some good quality bone broth. This morning, I feel great. Appetite is still very low, but I guess thats because my body has finally started to keto-adapt. Its really interesting to see the changes. I have lost 3.2kgs in my 12 days (my starting weight was 83.3kgs) and am looking forward to seeing my cycling performance improve over the coming weeks/months.
Man… I was kind of feeling the mental clarity part for tiny reasons, just tiny things here and there But the moment I realised I really, definitely had that mental clarity from ketogenesis is when I was reading an article online and I realized that not only I was understanding everything in the article effortlessly, but I was rushing through it, the reading was fast and fluid, which I don’t remember having since I was like 13 years old or something
Yes it feels like a super power, from a cheezy netflix film. I even joke with friends that I need to go zero carb again to get back my super powers, they laugh but they can sense that their is some truth in what I say
The very first time I did low carb the "flu" was a almost a week long. I would feel fine and then I would crash randomly and even walking was exhausting. However, once that was over I can remember feeling great. Also I do recall the headaches and rapid heart beat and mild chest pains. This of course worried me but some materials I read at the time was that it was basically one's addiction to sugar/glycogen. I liked to give my body a personality and would use that as fuel, "that bastard is fighting back!" That too was short lived however. On a sidebar, thinking back to before low carbohydrate, it angers me how one would get "low blood sugar" or that feeling when I had plenty of fat on me and I had eaten only a few hours before. It's like your body is lying to you and refuses to use that pantry of stored energy, jealously clinging onto its fat stores. It never made sense to me. How did mankind function when food was scarce? It certainly wouldn't be an evolutionary benefit to collapse on the floor whenever you miss a meal. Once I discovered low carb I realized it's because we were never meant to eat that many carbohydrates. I recall a funny column whose writer is lost to me. It was something like: "Carbs are actually quite rare in nature and those that did exist, like fruit, were much more fibrous and only available at certain times of the year. Don't believe me, go out in the forest and find some rye bread, pasta or a chocolate bar." Thanks for the video. These keep me going!
I know this comment is from a long time ago, but in case anyone is reading, I think those symptoms of rapid heart beat / headache you describe are more about the loss of electrolytes. make sure you're consuming them enough :)
@@Evikeuklavier yea! feeling fatigued on a low-carb diet is quite of a common thing that happens when you're not having enough sodium or salt. that's why I've heard many recommend to increase your sodium intake when you're on a low-carb diet because your insulin levels go really low and your body starts shedding off the excess sodium. I also read that the decreasing level of carbs also means decreasing level of sodium what I've been doing lately every morning is starting the day off with salty and cold lemon water. the freshness of the lemon and the salt kind of pumps you up a bit from the morning drowsiness :D
@@adiba8647 I sometimes just pour some salt in my hand and eat it 😅 but yeah! Salt is great. I pour a lot on my food. Avocados have a lot of potassium which we need too ☺️
@@Evikeuklavier agreed, I also would just like to have some salt on its own. Tho sometimes I just kinda overdo the salt on my food and that destroys the taste 💀 Might wanna be more careful with the seasoning next time ahaha
that was very useful Dan, I've been on low carb and no sugar diet for a couple of months and have been losing lots of weight. I thought it was strange that sometimes I just can't finish a plate of food or even want to eat anything at all, so thanks for explaining the loss of appetite. I decided not to go full keto though as I want this to be a lifestyle change, so I have fruit every day. I'm sure I'd lose more weight if I cut out fruit but am happy that my fat is going slowly. Cheers Matt
#7 is absolutely me! I’ve been on the ketogenic diet for a week now, and when I was working on my class work for managerial accounting I was focused and retained what I was learning. I got into this flow state of mind and finished in 1hr! Normally I would take 3-4hrs!!!!!!!
I started keto 3 weeks ago. I believe it took me 2 weeks to get in ketosis, because last week I had so many of those symptoms. I had headaches and feel of fatigue at the gym. 2 days ago I had a terrible diarrhea, but it's different from any other I had ever. Now I'm feeling fine and apparently my appetite is gone, I don't feel hungry for hours. I'll keep it going
Andrea winger hell yes but you get used to it. I’m a binge eater, well WAS a binge eater. You honestly get used to it fast if you do it right. I eat a heavy breakfast with ghee in my eggs then a heavy dinner. For lunch I eat something like a veggie patties or salad with cheese and mayonnaise. That way you’re full longer. It’s so worth it! Every now and then I’ll have a few (maybe 3 or ) pork rinds a little before bed just in case but it helps! Also, drink warm lemon water an hour or two before bed and first in the morning (I just buy the little jug of lemon juice in the fruit section) also it’ll clear the bloat out. Then I eat breakfast. If I wake up in the middle of the night I usually take a table spoon or two of pepto or Kaopectate or tums! But yes it works!
Hi guys. So the thumbnail is supposed to be of me having a headache! haha! It does look a bit weird. Anyway, I'd love to hear what you think of the video. Drop me a comment below!

Hello! I’ve been on low carb plus intermittent fasting for 4 days and low carbs for 3. Honestly I got no problem doing fasting the problem was when I started eating less carbs. I have 3 days getting headaches, general feeling of weakness , a lil more thirst... I’m so tired and sleepy? Am I killing myself? Help!!
Dr Dan Maggs I’ve been keto 20g or less of carbs for nearly 2 weeks. I’m not as hungry as usual. Maybe 1 meal and a snack with tons of water and I’m fine. I haven’t lost any weight yet but I know it’s coming soon so I’m sticking to it!

Thanks
Thanks, I'm trying to get through a lot of videos and don't have 100 years to watch them. All I needed was your list.
@ROM LUNDY Keto is training your body to survive off a different type of fuel - Fats. It goes against everything we've been told in the past. You can basically eat bacon every day and still lose weight while on Keto.
Well, judging by the symptoms I'm either entering ketosis or dying from coronavirus.
I'm with you!
I’m with you right now
Hahahaha !!
Lol. I feel like I have corona right noe. Im on my second day.
Thank you for clearing up the keto "flu". I thought I wasn't able to get into ketosis because I wasn't experiencing sickness and had very mild negatives. Blood tested and found out I was good.
I think one point that's often missed is heightened increase to irritability. I was a straight up asshole during the first month.
I have been on a KETOGENIC diet for two weeks. The biggest change is that one meal, lasts me all day, I used to get hungry every three hours.
And me,
i get hungry every 3 hours can you tell me what foods you eat on keto i keep reading i must eat more fat but finding it scary
@@kashmandir2325 You're probably not in Ketosis. Research the internet how to ensure that. Make sure you keep your carbs low - Under 20 grams would be ideal. ALSO ENSURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. RESEARCH VIA THE INTERNET.

@@kashmandir2325 obviously ur not taking in enough fats...eating fats make u feel full and not hungry
I am 48 yo. On the keto diet for 2 months. I have been anxious and irritable, with a foggy mind, arthritis, very low energy, and 20 lbs. heavier for like 2 years. I was skeptical at the beginning. Well, 2nd week, keto flu. Really bad. After that no more anxiety, all cravings gone. Like a war inside my mind and body was over. I am eating half as much now but I am not hungry. After 40 days I had lost 7 lbs. I started to work out again. Clear mind like a younger me and reduced inflammation (update: A year now. I’ve lost 30 lbs. Almost exclusively carnivore now. Some well selected veggies and carbs once in a while. Gained a lot of muscle. Self inmune conditions gone. No more pain, low energy or depression. All good).
Well done!!

I'm 72, been on Keto since end of October 2019. Have lost 65 pounds. I am disabled so can't do walking much. Lots of sitting down exercises. I am losing fat now and retaining muscle. I sleep 100% better! I can use my muscles now without straining. I don't huff and be out of breath anymore. Keto diet is the ONLY diet in my whole life that's worked! And I've been on them all! ...Diana in Milwaukee Wisconsin
Thanks Diana for reporting your experience! And congratulations to your stamina .. maybe you can have a look at EMS muscle training; I'm doing it for nearly two years now and though not cheap - I love it 👍😅
What exercises are you doing?

Hope you're still feeling great!
Good to hear about your good news. Take care.
I have been on the Keto diet for over 2 months. I am 60 years old and there is another wonderful effect aside from those you had described: reduced inflammation! The dull ache in my left knee is gone and so is the ache in my hip! It is great that I can walk up stairs pain free! :0)
Am 63 and enjoying low carb Intermittent Fasting, almost 2 months now, all pains gone. 9 kls lost from 63-54
Delia another one is stopping scratching... unbelievable
That’s amazing! I’m 52 and have been doing for few months and lost NOTHING except maintain my weight. I don’t know why. Can you offer any advice, tips, help!
@@Ty-mh3ey if you’ve been potentially adding any muscle through exercise and high protein during the time you’re in keto, it’s very possible to stick around the same weight while still losing fat and getting the other benefits.
Once you break the sugar addiction permanently, you'll notice you don't get as hungry anymore.... Then fasting becomes a lot easier... You wanna talk "reducing inflammation" ??? Start FASTING!!! I'm doing 3 day fasting now, and the results are practically miraculous!! My blood pressure has PLUMMETED to 110 -120 systolic!!!
Friends, when you decide to go on a Ketogenic lifestyle and you’re going through your kitchen collecting all the sugar and grain products, please do not throw them away; give it to your local food bank and help feed the homeless. Thank you.
It's a nice thought.
But the poor are often a super saturated with Carbs already.

Why does no one mention pissing everytime you look at water
absolutely!
Yep!
do you eat/drink enough electrolyes/minerals? via osmosis the body extracts a lot of stored water when the electrolyte levels are too low
Have you also come across how gylcogen is stored with 2 parts water for every part glycogen? When your body was previously using glucose it stored some as glycogen but also stored water with it. When u begin dumping this out and using those stores the water is gotten rid of. This is why people lose weight rapidly at first because it's all of the stored water being flushed out.
Needing the toilet so much does settle down when ur body acclimatises to this WOE.

Is it healthy to have a slice of bread with eggs as breakfast when in keto diet?? Im confused if it should be zero carbs or low carbs
@@Kevinselasie low carbs but i would only have 1 slice of bread or cut the bread out completely
@@Kevinselasie Try your best to avoid bread and grains, your body definitely needs carbs but look for healthy carbs found in healthy nuts and fruits but don't overdue the fruit just try to be very aware of the sugar content in anything you eat, so I guess the answer to your question is low carbs but really ...LOW, hope this helps.
I am about two weeks in and I have to say I almost dont feel hunger. I can easily do 18-6 interminent fasting or skip eating for full 24 hours. I am just worried about lovering my metabolism I want this diet to "eat away" all of my fat :)
I’ve been in ketosis for about 4 months. Six months ago, I gave up all grains, sugars and high carb fruits and veggies in one day because I have type 2 diabetes and I wanted off my meds. I had had too many low blood sugar events because of the meds. It took 2 months to get into ketosis. I believe because I had such huge stores of glycogen. But I hung in there and here I am six months later: progressed from 16/8 fast to 18/6 to 20/4 to OMAD; walking 8,000 steps per day plus muscle toning exercises; and weight 170->134. I feel so good with this lifestyle I feel like I was given the keys to the kingdom … the secrets of the universe. Oh, and mental acuity… I’m now studying quilting, French, piano, cooking, and cabinet making. I love this lifestyle, I love learning, I’m off the meds, blood glucose levels remain low, and I’m never going back.I’ll always be diabetic but I manage it without meds.
please what 16/ 8 means?
@@merylo888 16 hours fast and 4 hour eating window.
@@merylo888you eat within an 8 hour eating window and fast for 16 hours.
Thank you for telling me how long it took you to get into ketosis.
Like you I am T2, I also have a fatty liver.
4 weeks ago I quit all my diabetes medication (esp insulin) and on the same day I also quit carbs, fruits, veg etc and thought that I had gone into ketosis, but hadn't had any of the mental clarity that people keep talking about.
I guess ketosis will happen when my body is good and ready, but until then I am ecstatic with how much better my blood glucose levels are, they're so much lower and level throughout the day. So even if for some bizarre reason I never achieve ketosis, I will continue a carb free diet for all the other health benefits it brings.
@@NiceLoki Hi, Congratulations! I remember how thrilled I was when I was finally in ketosis. I guess I had a big buildup of stored sugar to use up first. I don’t know. But, it did happen, and the clarity of thinking, the terrific energy levels, the delicious meals and the overall wellness were worth the effort. Best of luck!

The perfect foods to get high cholesterol and hearty disease 😬
@@needfulthings6603 My study. I study nutrition. Animal fats contain bad cholesterol which can lead to heart disease if you consume them often
@@needfulthings6603 We also learned that glucose is essential for optimal brain functioning. People who eat enough glucose can focus better and have better results at school. So a low carb diet isn't good for that either
@@needfulthings6603 You can, however, bring your body into ketosis without cutting out carbs and without eating big amounts of these unhealthy foods, by intermittent fasting. Your body goes into ketosis if you haven't eaten in a while too. So a keto diet can be healthy if it's done by intermittent fasting instead of low carb.
I've been struggling w/food addiction and sugar addiction for years and and yes, after only about ONE week my appetite/hunger has diminished!!! Wow! I am sooo surprised and happy about it!!

Why caint i loose weight i started march 3 its no may
I had "keto flu" really bad 20 years ago when I first started low carb. For two and a half days, I felt like I was coming off drugs, then I started losing weight so fast, it was alarming my friends while they told me eating that way and that much couldn't possibly work. 410 pounds down to 265 pounds in 8 months. I never needed to be hungry, and I felt great on it.
1. Add Chia and more fiber rich veggies to overcome constipation
2. If you can’t really tolerate the headache, I use methol rubs.
3. I also take supplements during feasting time like potassium, zinc and vitamin D. I also put trace minerals in my water. You’re losing nutrients so we need to replenish them. Hope this is helpful ☺️
You also need a lot more salt than you have been used to.
That trace mineral replacement is very well advised. I do this in a very inexpensive and practical manner. Every cup of tea, decaf coffee or plain water that I drink I drop in a crystal of SEA SALT to get those trace minerals on a consistent basis. Go for the highest quality sea salt on the store shelf that you can find. Pink Himalayan is probably the best but you don't fine it everywhere.
I just have to say back then when I was eating carbohydrates. When I would go to the gym, After exercising I always got so hungry. Now that I do not eat carbohydrates. I do not feel hungry after I exercise, which is a shock.😧 Also I barely get hungry barely. kind of bothers me because I am naturally and an emotional eater. And I'm more aware of what I'm putting in my body. I mean this new way of thinking is a huge adjustment for me. These are lifestyle changes. Update again I lost 75 pounds!!☺
I feel the same way

Now I’m a week in and have dropped a few pounds. The most recent and best thing I’ve experienced was the clear head and overall feeling of positivity. It was pretty profound actually.
There's a certain point where your body has burned up every last molecule of sugar it had squirreled away and it's out of fuel and panicking. Unfortunately, it also typically hits around the same time as the carbohydrate withdrawals start. You'll feel like roadkill for a day or so until it discovers it has other energy sources to use. The body is a bit of a drama queen that way lol. But yes, as mentioned by el, electrolytes are a big deal because they go wonky and out of balance during the transition period.
@@BDThomas I cannot stand the electrolyte drinks with the artificial sweeteners and I hate salt! Lol. I tried the salt with lemon in water and it didn't make me wretch too bad, but just marinating my steak in salt for awhile and salting my eggs good seems to work for me.
Jeff, what are your daily meals?
So I'm just about to start this...I'm just doing some research first. I've read the first week or two to have 3g fats to 1g of protein to help kick start your body into breaking down fats and using them as energy. So for breakfast high fat moderate protein lunch low fat and higher protein then dinner high fats and low protein
3 days in myself and I am experiencing just that lol.
I'm more in psychosis.

I’m on my second week and have felt great. I’ve only lost 2lbs but at 64 and have a few health issues I know it will take time. I feel more determined than I have in a long time. Not hungry but I think I should maybe eat a later breakfast and eat two meals instead of three. I hope and pray everyone reaches their goal.
More than two weeks following low CHO, and in OMAD (one meal a day) I experienced all what you said, I’m over 65, and feeling a lot better, no cravings, no hungry at all! And losing weight. I think this is going to be a new way of living. I programmed myself. No suffering, I could made this switch from day one ! This is the beginning, and I am convinced that keeping this way, my chances for getting any Chronic degenerative diseases will be lower.
Either “not hungry “ or “ no hunger”, but not “ no hungry”.
@@judeirwin2222 You never saw a typo online??? who has time to go around nitpicking people's errors? Or do you just have a problem with the "o" in his name?
I stopped walking into a room and going “what the heck did I come in here for?” 😀👍
I can’t wait for that.
This is why I need to go back to keto/IF
Too funny!
every morning i wake up and feel like its gonna be another exciting day on Keto ! Also reduced stress level. And start to believe im myself. We guys can achieve our goals on Keto. Its for sure
Omg I’m rarely hungry anymore, i do feel like i think clearer, i feel energized, i sleep better & wake up early & I’m 11 pounds down today.
I’ve tried Keto many times before but gave up before reaching ketosis. This time it’s different! Finally I can see it on the test strips that I’m on ketosis, I’m losing weight, less inflammation on my joints, much much more energy than ever, occasional headache because I do intermittent fasting along with keto. I’ve been doing it for a little over 30 days and dropped 2 pant sizes. I am beyond thrilled & determined to make this my lifestyle. Best of luck to all those starting this journey- don’t give up. 😊
Great job.
Having used KETO to lose weight myself I have this advice.
Make sure to get enough fat, and especially low enough carbs, but don't be too ambitious. If you limit your food intake too much too fast you risk losing your motivation. When you feel like it does a 18+ hours fasting, maybe 1-3 times a week. But don't force it, do it when it feels natural and not a big deal.
If you don't do fasting then you should react by limiting your food intake a bit at a time, but again don't overdo it. This is not a sprint but a marathon.
My doctor told me they have done new research that says that your body will get back to your maximum weight for 10 years after you lost the weight.
With KETO i got my weight down to 79-83 Kg and have kept it there for 2,5 years now.
4-6 months after I stop being on KETO I start to get so hungry all the time, and gain a bit of weight and go up in body fat % a bit, also fasting leaves me with no energy and feeling bad. Then I know the fat-burning effect of having been on KETO is gone and I'll do KETO again. Usually, I do it for around 2 months, except for the first time when I lost most of the weight in one long go with some short breaks.
I just went on KETO for the 5th time from this Sunday night.
Don't feel like eating at all. Have to make myself eat something healthy. Am also doing intermittent fasting, lost 7 lbs so far this month, have 72 to go
I have lost 50 and would love to lose 70+ more. Good luck!
Keep going!! U can effin do it!!
How are you doing on keto months later. I'm on month 6..down almost 40
I need an update on all of you
How long have you been on the Keto diet? Good luck. I discovered that the almond butter I was eating was slowing down my weight loss..500 extra calories if I was counting!
I've lost 24 pound since August 25. From 259 to 235 It's kinda ruff at first. I had a headache, which I hardly had befor I started, but now I fell wonderful ! When you put on jeans you haven't wore In 3 years. I am really happy witn Keto diet.
That’s great Angela...
Congratulations!!!
Good Job
My problem is that my trousers are much too big for me. I have altered one pair, but it is a tedious job. Am tempted to take them to a charity shop.
I have lost 20 pounds in just about 2 months keep it up
I'm on day 4 and started intermittent fasting yesterday as it came naturally, not being hungry in the morning. I could never go without breakfast before, but it's been easy last couple of days. I hope I can keep it going!
Just eat as soon as you get really hungry and eat your one meal or have two meals in a 5 hour window (is what I am doing and it’s working great 👍)
@@tfl4723 Thank you for the advice, I will do that 🙂
@@lydkababika you are welcome
Keep it up
I started intermittent fasting a year ago. Fasting from 7 pm until 9 am the next morning. Worked great as I’ve never been a breakfast eater and it cut out my evening snacking. Lost 10 lbs. Now I’m going to try this Keto diet so I can loose another 30 lbs and reach my goal.
I definitely felt sick! Serious headaches and nausea! Thank goodness it only lasted 4-5 days. Once it passed I dropped weight, no nausea, felt mentally brighter!!! What a difference!! I started this journey because I was getting TERRIBLE MIGRAINES! It has helped remove lots of foods that can cause them. Especially processed foods
I’m soooo glad I came across your comment! I’ve been looking for a video that mentions nausea but haven’t came across any! I thought I was crazy lol. But definitely I’m having very similar symptoms as you- headache and a lot of nausea. What I found that helps with the headache is zero sugar (obviously) electrolyte drinks! 😁
@@mariasalgado8962thanks for the tips !
I never get sick. I’m 70 now,on no meds and feeling great.

Now I know I'm in ketosis, this finally feels worth it! I was having some huge doubts as to if I should continue because I was just feeling like crap but now I know that its my body adjusting, I feel really good about it! Excited to see my results!
Was also abt to quit but not any more
Are yall still on Keto?
For me they only lasted like a little less then 2 weeks but hang in there! I been on Keto for 2 months and it’s been working out great!
@@moonchie2191 I been doing it for 2 months and feel great :,) finally was able to fit into a Size 12 after starting off on size 14
Be encouraged don’t give up
I started a ketogenic diet 6 weeks ago and have lost 18Kg. I can’t believe how much better I feel. I experienced all of the 9 symptoms discussed in this video. My insomnia has been the worst. I wake up at 3am just about every night and toss and turn for an hour before finally falling back asleep. Apart from that, I’d recommend this diet to anyone that needs to lose weight quickly.
Would u plz tell me.what did u eat? How much carb is allowed?please guide me
@@shahnazp1712 hi! I started 2 weeks ago and didn't even know I was doing a "keto" diet! It's really simple. I just count total carbs on packages or look them up on the web. I'm having between 20-25 carbs daily. No sweets, no breads, no rice, no pastas. I mainly eat lots of fresh eggs from my hens and unprocessed meats like steaks, bacon, sausage and some chicken. I use sausage because I raise my own pork.(I don't know if store bought sausage is keto.) Lots of natural fats like virgin olive oil, bacon butter (strained bacon grease) and real butter. I will add onions and peppers to my breakfast and some squash or a small salad with my dinner meat. It really is simple if you don't eat anything sweet, nothing premade or out of a box, and nothing processed, like lunch meats or pre-shedded cheese because it has starch on it to keep it from clumping...oh and I eat cheese with everything! But only real cheese- no "cheese product" or "cheese food". I don't get into all the keto diet recipes, mainly because I don't want to go hunting for the substitutes and I just want to get used to not eating certain things, like bread, potatoes, and desserts and in two weeks I have!
Some people use artificial sweeteners but I would advise against it because alot of them are not healthy and even artificial sweets can keep the cravings going. I haven't had any cravings for sweets since day 3 by just not having anything that tasted sweet. My biggest hurdle was my coffee mate creamer that I've been hooked on for 25 years...but heavy whipping cream seems to be good enough now!
I'm also doing intermittent fasting. Most people go for 8 hour eating window and 16 hour fasting. I'm doing 6/18 split.
I'm actually almost doing a carnivore diet except for the little bit of fresh veggies. If you try to do everything natural, like me the meat is very filling, fats keep cravings away and make sure to use a little extra salt to keep from getting constipated. Veggies are just because I'm a gardener and I can't live without them☺️
I usually start my day at 6:30 and drink black coffee and water until my eating time (noon) then I eat as much as it takes to satisfy without overeating--chew your food well and take your time eating! Then after 6 pm I only have herbal tea or water. No carbs outside of your eating window is key!
I've been going for 2 weeks today and have lost 9.6 pounds. And it's not difficult at all. This is literally the easiest diet I've ever done!
Same with the sleep
@@shahnazp1712 did you try it? I'm down 17 pounds now! It works😊
@@jswhosoever4533 hi dear.sorry i sm not good in english..in fact l am going to try it.but i cannot drink coffe without sth sweet.l avoid eating bread..rice...potato...fruita and other things.. i lose eigt kilos in two monts..but i had cheat in keto diet..i ate some carbs
I started off with low carbs and no snacking and cutting down alcohol 🍷. I started going to the gym doing exercise 4 times a week. Then I removed certain sugary fruits Luke apple and banana 🍌. Then as soon as increased the fat, protein with green salads and vegetables 🥦 I began to feel funny and didn’t exercise as much feeling tired 😴. Within weeks I noticed an extra 5kgs weigh loss. I don’t feel hungry between meals anymore. I fast for up to 24 hours sometimes
You’re awesome. I work overnights and I keep accidentally doing this. I will you success on your journey. It’s very inspiring reading you guys testimonies
Everyone should be on a low carb diet, 30 lbs lost! lots of energy, thinking clearer..Thanks for your videos, they are right on target!
Do you mind asking me what your starting weight was and how long you’ve been doing it? Thanks!

@@shrls.zee01 I like the Fat Bombs like a Reese's Cup no carbs and no sugar..and yummy..walmart brand is fine..kinda expensive..Im down to 162 now...Lovin life!
I am on low carb. I've lost 20 lbs quite easily. My carbs are under 110g 85% of the time everyday, I set my max at 150g. Low carb I lose weight much more even. Keep more muscle mass and avoid that skinny fat look. Vs when I did calories in and out. I lost weight but was very skinny fat. Now,My hunger isn't all over the place anymore . I have more energy and less cravings. My starting weight was 167.8 lbs. Current weight is about 147.8 lbs in 4 1/2 months.
I experience a huge dip in blood pressure. So I increase my coffee intake. Also, I'm also more in-tune with my own feelings as well as others.
But the HARDEST part is watching my friends and family eating cake 🤣
Try the yogurt almond keto cake! Look it up, it is amazing.
@• • Winter's Cheekbones • it would take you out of keto but yeah you can have it at your discretion . You’d have to restart the keto process after you ate it though.
Make keto brownies
"Qu'ils mangent de la brioche"
@Dyu's Pie look up keto-friendly versions of cake, desserts, etc. But yeah, once a month is ok unless you're trying to lose weight or is diabetic
The mirror is much less insulting to me lately.
😂
Mine too 😂😂😂
How long were you on the diet if I may ask? :)
@@chynnab2920 I started my new Keto plan 6 weeks and 4 days from today. The day I started I weighed 224, I am 5'10"-ish. Today on the same scale, I weighed 193. So in about 46 days, I've lost 31 lbs. No sugar, One Meal A Day and about an added 8 days of pure solid food fasting. I did to sets of 3 day fasting and one set of 2 day fasting. The last set, I was going to eat something light that night and I just wasn't that excited about it so I just decided to push through and eat nothing. That's when I went from 197 to 195 and kind of beat the plateau I was on. Extremely low carbs too. I think less than 20 per day while I was trying to lose weight.
@@wildernessradio1653 I'm currently the same weight and height you were when you first started. I'm on my 3rd day of the 16/8 diet.
I've been on a low carb diet for several years - the one thing I absolutely recommend is stay hydrated. Water is my best friend!
Great info. We just started keto because we want to be healthy, and my husband has some weight to lose.. so far 4 days and my husband lost 5 pounds, eating 3 healthy and delicious meals a day. Just by getting rid of sugar, limiting carb intake and buying healthier food.. we are so exited for this new and healthy eating journey😍
It's impossible to lose 5 pounds (of fat) in 4 days, unless he ate ABSOLUTELY nothing. Even then I'm not really sure it's possible.
What he lost was water and bowel contents.
@@floatingchimney whatever it was, my husband lost 30 pounds in 2 months eating 3 meals a day and a few keto friendly snacks. Also, my mom was diabetic and thanks to God and keto she's lost 50 pounds and is no longer diabetic!!!
@@ambarfuentes1558 30 pounds in 2 months is a different story, which is fine. Kudos to him.

How much has your husband lost now?
it's only been three weeks since I seriously cut back on my Carbs. My decision had nothing to do with losing weight. I felt I needed to do something about the sugar. I can already attest to the fact of weight loss, more energy , no more naps in the afternoon and increased mental clarity. All positives. thanks for the video.
I've been back on keto for a month now. I've experienced all of these. Especially the low appetite. Last night I realized that I had forgotten to eat!

You will require gall bladder surgery and get kidney failure. Keto is not a good diet to be on long term. th-cam.com/video/CT8K6NcAigo/w-d-xo.html
I've got to say the cravings and crashes leaving me is an amazing feeling. Indian diets tend to be very carb and veggie heavy, a few weeks ago I decided to go full carnivore and its been life changing. The acetone breath hit me just now but the weight loss started almost immediately. Insomnia is there and after the initial lethargy I feel like a new person with the amount of energy I have now.
I've only eaten breakfast today and the whole day's gone by and here at 7pm I'm writing this and I feel absolutely no need to fix my self a sweet or carb heavy snack. In fact I'm just going to get my business in order and get to bed, haven't eaten dinner in three days, heavy carnivore breakfast, a snack carnivore lunch and no dinner and I feel better than I've ever felt.
The keto flu has hit me 2 times that I recall. Weak and dizzy, in the extreme, lasted a few hours. I am never hungry and I have to work hard to keep weight on. I feel great. No insomnia or intestinal problems. I have stopped 24 hour fasting because I just can’t lose more weight ( at 76 I now weigh what I did graduating college).
After being 30 days on the Keto diet I can say I felt a lot of differences in my body. I actually went Keto to see if it would treat my cystic acne. I just published the start of my journey on my chanel, to help anyone else who is going through with a similar thing. My skin is terrible, but I have noticed differences which is good.
We definately have been sick! Headaches, exhaustion, no appetite and nausea. No fever, no other symptoms. That being said, we are feeling better and I know we are on the right path to a healthier journey! Thank you for the great information and supportive community.
we?
are you doing this with someone else ?
Good video and I agree mostly . I started low carb living not to lose weight ( but lost 80 lbs.) I did it to lose the pre diabetes diagnosis,high BP and high triglycerides. It worked for everything now after 3.5 years low carb I’m 75 years old and am in amazing condition and when I started eating low carb I was a fat ,tired,depressed exhausted metabolic disaster area. My dr. Said this is good results “how did you do it”. 💪🥑🥓😎
Thanks for the video, I have been doing Keto for 15 weeks now and have lost 55.6 pounds. I have been overweight my whole life and did atkins years ago, but, got bored and went off the Diet and gained it all back and then lots more. These days lots of products and recipes that is keeping me interested.
An update... it's now been 19 weeks amd down 65.5
Here ya go..
#9: Flu like symptoms
a) headache
b). loss of focus
c) a little bit tired
#8. Keto breath
#7: Changes to your bowels
#6: decreased exercise performance
#5: insomnia
#4: reduced appetite.
#3: improved mental clarity and more stable moods
#2: improved physical energy, no afternoon slumps.
#1: weight loss.
Also he didn't mention is that your urine might take on a sweet smell and you will have to pee more often.
Some people have increased thirst
Also you might get leg cramps if you don't get enough salt and potassium while in Keto.
This is why salt is important as well as magnesium and potassium.
Drink lots of water.
One of my earliest symptoms is nausea. It’s the body getting used to less sugar/carbs.
Yeppers, this should be one for sure. I've done this diet on and off. Definitely makes you think you ate something wrong. Or not enough because of the nausea.
Yes I had nausea also.
For the first 2 to 3 days it was horrible. Im used to it now though.
@Fast Internet you’re stupid.
@@annabell1902 ur mad
Been on a low-carb diet for 10 days now. Haven't really experienced the negatives symptoms, but certainly the more positive effects. Feeling more energetic - ready to get up earlier! - and with reduced appetite and a more positive mental attitude. Lost ten pounds in the first week, but I've heard that that's usual as it's water rather than fat, although I can actually notice some weight loss visually! I feel very positive about this form of eating.
I'm experiencing the same. None of the negative. Lots of energy, Sleeping great and weight is flying off.
Are you fasting though
I’m on the 6th day of a fast . I experienced insomnia. It is hands down the hardest challenge
Wow, that's a long fast!
Dr Dan Maggs Yeah in trying to cleans from years of bad eating. I need a master reset.
I been watching all you videos. Very informative. Appreciate your post .
@@jeremiahd1 How long do you plan to fast for in total?
Dr Dan Maggs no response, I guess he died😢
Started Keto 2 weeks ago. Last night I thought I was coming down with the flu (or COVID), but no fever. It was a very rough night! Now I know what was going on!
That was me yesterday!! It came all of a sudden!
THIS WAS ME THIS MORNING
I love the mental clarity. Just about worth it for this alone.
Doing Keto/IF with 3 day fasting 2-3 times a month. First weekend of fasting had crazy amount of energy and could not fall asleep for the life of me. None of the other negatives, but yes to the positives like mental clarity.
Haha. Same with me. No symptoms except waking up constantly, using bathroom and then up before my 5am alarm. With a ton of energy! I was doing am 18-6 5 days a week at first now i try to do a 22-4 most days of the week. At least 4. The rest of the days may be a 14 hour fast at the minimum.
Low carb is great for removing joint stiffness.
It reduces inflammation which can be very unhealthy.
Idk I've been more active but started to feel knuckle stiffness. Rest me feels great
I'm a newbie and after only 3 days in, the joints in my fingers feel so much better.
I hope this helps my knees then. I've been having trouble with them for a couple of years.
I have severe RA in all my joints. Diagnosed at age 27. This sounds like a great side effect of Keto
@@offthebeatenpath5160 I just saw a video of a woman who fixed her RA by going carnivore. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/7fncJdVjy5U/w-d-xo.html
Great to see a British doctor doing a keto blog. I've lost 32lbs in 2 months on a very strict ketogenic eating plan. I keep my foods as highly nutritional as I can. Weirdly I used to suffer from insomnia and since being on keto I now sleep like a baby. Look forward to seeing more of your videos
Thanks Richie. Yes more videos coming soon. Not weird at all r.e. insomnia. Studies show that people in ketosis often sleep more deeply and may need less sleep than people on 'normal' diets. Congrats on your weight loss!
Richie, day 7. My sleep is better. No insomnia now and much clearer, interesting dreams. Rested and less pain in the morning. And I spend less hours in bed. This is major!
richie box hi there, I just started. Please give me some breakfast, lunch and dinner meals I can use? The ones that I’m been seeing look sooo sooo fatty and unhealthy. Thank you🌸
@@angelinajosina6247 that's the point. You need the fat. You can't replace all the carbs with protein. If you eat too much protein your body will use the excess to form glucose.
You will require gall bladder surgery and get kidney failure. Keto is not a good diet to be on long term. th-cam.com/video/CT8K6NcAigo/w-d-xo.html
I'm sick with a extremly rare muscle illness. Keto gives me more power to walk, breathe, talk,swallow....And I'm losing weight, which is also good for my muscles.
I cant stop recommending moringa. It has all amino acids the body needs and is a good source of vitamins that might be missing from a keto diet. It's just an overall good addition to the keto diet. It also helps stabilize glucose levels if you break the diet with small amounts of sugar.
I’m in my early 70s and I don’t exercise, used to have insomnia, foggy brain, painful joints, craved snacks all day long, but since adopting keto, I am beginning to see through one eye that was heading for cataract surgery much better. I am much clearer in my thinking. My memory is sharp unlike what I’ve been plagued with for a number of years. My depression is gone. I no longer need a nap after eating. One thing I have done that I think needs to be done by all Americans who have eaten non organic grains, i.e., everyone, take probiotics for your gut. Glyphosates are basically antibiotics and have ruined us. After a few weeks, I feel as though I’m in my 30s, only this time with wisdom. Wish I had those years back.
That's great! Did you get the keto flu???
Before I started Keto, I would be sleeping all weekend, wake up tired and about to fall asleep on the drive to work, be sleepy all day, about to fall asleep on the way home, and fall asleep after eating. Now that I am on Keto I can hardly sleep more than 8 hours a day.
Maybe you were in a coma before.
@@nancyl5804 yeah, sugar coma lol
I'm so glad I found you! Finally videos from the UK! I have done keto/low carb for 5 weeks. I weigh myself today for the 1st time and it looks like I have lost 10 pounds (even though I went off the rail when I ate chocolate biscuits!) But went straight back on it the next day! I didn't really need to weigh myself because I know I've lost weight as I can wear clothes that I couldn't zip up or button up! So very happy 😊
I had crazy insomnia when I was in ketosis due to fasting .. And though I exercised during the day, I had so much energy at night, I could go for a long run!
Same! I’d be at the gym working my ass off and then have this burst of energy at 10pm. I got a little upset last night about the insomnia and my husband goes “what can I do to help?” I replied with, “got for a run with me.” .... there’s a foot of snow outside but I was dead serious.
@@MsCraplover Sex is the best exercise....I'm sure your man would like it anytime of the day / nite😂....
The mental clarity is something I never knew I wanted so badly.!!!
Keto was invented for the brain only
Weight loss is just a side effect
This is good info! I experienced the keto flu on day 4, digestive issues by day 5-6, insomnia days 5-8, reduced appetite and general disinterest in eating from day 3 onward, mainly due to getting bored with food and trying to find good food options. Weight loss, 6 lbs by day 5. It's day 9, I slept really well last night and woke up early and felt rested. Looking forward to mental clarity and continued weight loss.
No more insuline since Keto,very happy and healthy in only 3 weeks...
Congrats. As a 20+ year Type ll Diabetic I started a Keto Diet on June 1, 2018, 10 days later my blood sugars level was normal, my Doctor stopped all 4 shots of insulin & pills. Since then I lost 45 lbs on the Keto Diet. I continue the Keto Diet, almost carb free (
🙏🏾
Jimmy Kimpan congrats! That’s really awesome. I started Keto 3 weeks ago as a T2 diabetic. 60 years old with so much metal in my body from military service injuries in Iraq. I’ve been strict and have lost only 10 pounds. However, I’m 5’10” and weighed 164 lbs when I began. Since day one on keto, my blood sugar has been great. I was taken 25 units long acting insulin daily, plus whatever amount of short acting needed three times a day and I could never keep my blood sugar at 80. Now, I give myself 13 units long acting and may have to stop that completely bc my BS dropped to 53 before dinner tonight. Haven’t used any short term insulin at all since starting. My exercise is minimal due to my permanent injuries. I’m pleased with food I eat, but the scale hasn’t dropped in several days. I drink tons of water and only black coffee in the morning.
@@elteec01 Keep it up David, it'll work out and you will lose more.
I was just told I was in the prediabetes stages. Seeing your post makes me so happy. Thanks for sharing
3rd day I started feeling full. 4th day my head hurt and my body aches so I slept it off. 5th day no hunger. 6th day hungry lol. Just taking it one day at a time. 3lbs lost now so far
I'm 70 now, severely diabetic and overweight of course. Started keto about a week ago and already my inflammation of the joints is pretty much gone. Pretty much from day one on I no longer had my blood sugar spike. I have more energy. I could never sleep more than 3 hours a night, bathroom run, back to bed. Now I sleep longer and better and have fewer bathroom runs, my appetite is reduced, and I'm losing weight. I enjoy what I eat very much. I think I can stick with this way of life. Wish me luck.
I found I’m suddenly waay more flexible than before. Nothing stiff or achey anymore, even in the morning!
Omg I’m an intermittent faster and I think I’m getting keto breathe ! I’ve been trying to figure out why my mouth taste so weird and feels dry even though I’m drinking more then enough water. I always thought it had something to do with the water brand but this makes sense.
I am gonna start my keto again after one year off.. This is my second day, wish me luck..
@Gena Keller thank you for the encouragement..
How is it now bro? Does it work?
Greetings from Mexico amigo! Am in ketosis and the bad feeling for me only lasted three days and people started noticing my body sliming with in three days, and for me the best thing about keto was the mental cleanest.
You are 100% spot on. I have, and I'm still experiencing them all. Also love how nice and simple your videos are. Makes it easy to "digest" ...haha.
Thanks for watching Becky!
Becky Epelle Ha! clever
Good stuff Dr. And spot on as well. I’m into my second week of intermittent fasting and low carb diet. I did notice some of the early side effects and definitely have noticed the last 4 positive symptoms of ketosis on your list. I was telling my wife this morning how deep I’ve been sleeping. I have zero food cravings or hunger with the 18:6 fasting interval. Have also lost 3.5 lbs. Energy, mood and concentration are all great.
Excellent video. I’m doing keto for the second time. I took a break of about 2 years. I maintained my weight for about a year with liberal low carb but in the last year I went back. to eating bad carbs and gained over 20 pounds. Lesson learned. My first time around, I had all of the side-effects for about a week. This time, they are less severe and are passing in 3 days, except for the revved up feeling. I still have that after 3 days. It makes me wake up often in the night but from my experience from last time it only lasts a week or so, but it comes back periodically. With that said, in general, I sleep very soundly on Keto.
Great presentation. My reduced hunger from Keto led me to intermittent fasting very easily. My busiest time of day is the morning and Ketogenic diet and intermitten fasting have helpedme but more productive in the mornings, with no energy drops throughout the day.
I remember doing a keto diet while I was fasting for 30days in Ramadan. I lost 1 stone without feeling weak. I felt so good and I had not ate healthy in my past.
Whats a stone?
@@kendi3525 1 stone equals 6.35 kilograms.
The last positives ones are my favorite as well! I suffered from Long COVID brain fog for 8 months and after have just had minor speech and memory issues. Once in ketosis, it was amazing to feel so sharp! Yes, the energy and positive mood as well. Great video thanks! Subscribed!
Down 9 pounds in 4 days. I’m excited to not be fat in 2-3 months.
Are you exercising?
@@lazydiaz6715 no. Only take 3-4000 steps per day and don’t lift.
I did the same then have been at a standstill for weeks. Worse than just ordinary watching what I eat and being healthy. Not enjoying it tbh. None of the positives, all of the negatives. I can hardly go up stairs and I’m sick of the food.
@@rachelcox682 So far all is positive for me. We shall see!
@@BrenttheGreat what are you eating ?
Usually day 4 I fell like a keto queen. Energy, clarity, decreased appetite.. etc. I love it.
My surgeon put me on a Low Carb High Fat regime pre-Total Hip Replacement surgery, and I lost 50 pounds doing that. By the time I started on the Keto way of eating, one year later, I was already well adjusted for Keto, so I experienced no flu-like symptoms. A year after starting Keto I started Intermittent Fasting. These gradual and progressive adjustments have served me pretty well.
I've just started my second week (day 9). Today the reduced performance REALLY hit me. I'd like to know how long this has lasted for most people. I appreciate your comments and suggestions.
wow!! Such great info, I've been so overwhelmed by the Keto diet. Thank you for breaking all of this down!
Thank you SO MUCH for helping me to communicate my message in a much clearer way AND for subscribing to my channel! You've been a massive influence on me recently. Loving what you're doing!
It is easier than any other diet because you eat whole foods as folks did in the early 20th century. Crisco, Mazola, Wesson and Margarine are poisons. What happened to the stove side bacon grease cans? Government convinced everyone fats led to heart disease so everyone started eating fake crap and getting fat. Look at pictures of people from 80 years ago and notice the difference.
Thank u for ur video doc im having keto flu rigth now...😳
wow youre pretty .
Keto breath means you're eating too much protein. You only need 4 to 8 oz of protein per meal on this diet. More than 8 oz is too much. Your body will actually turn excess protein into sugar. Headaches and flu symptoms are actually caused by not enough salt or too much water that flushes out the salt. These symptoms aren't normal and actually signal a problem.
Thank you so much for the information. The first thing I noticed was the lack of hunger. I eat 2 meals a day one around 12 noon and then 6-7Pm. I never thought I could fast, but for me it was no problem. I have lost about 10-15 lbs. I am 4' 11" and weigh 99 lbs and don't want to loose anymore.
Thank you for putting this excellent and very helpful video together. I have certainly had these signs! From day 12, I started cycling for about 1.5 hours a day and noticed that I couldn't go as far nor as fast as I usually do. On day 16 (yesterday), I got the dreaded keto-flu! I felt more energised during my morning ride, but found that I was more thirsty than usual; during the ride, I drank two 710ml bottles in 1.2 hours when usually I would drink less than one. Afterwards, I continued to be really thirsty all morning - I just could not get enough water in my system! I also felt nauseous and had a headache which I understand that this is due to the lack of sodium. My appetite also really dropped (total kCals for the day was about 1,400 even though I burned over 1,000 with the morning exercise); up until yesterday, I was eating around 2,200 kCals a day. I resolved the headache and nausea by by drinking some salt in my water and by having some good quality bone broth. This morning, I feel great. Appetite is still very low, but I guess thats because my body has finally started to keto-adapt. Its really interesting to see the changes. I have lost 3.2kgs in my 12 days (my starting weight was 83.3kgs) and am looking forward to seeing my cycling performance improve over the coming weeks/months.
Man… I was kind of feeling the mental clarity part for tiny reasons, just tiny things here and there
But the moment I realised I really, definitely had that mental clarity from ketogenesis is when I was reading an article online and I realized that not only I was understanding everything in the article effortlessly, but I was rushing through it, the reading was fast and fluid, which I don’t remember having since I was like 13 years old or something
Yes it feels like a super power, from a cheezy netflix film. I even joke with friends that I need to go zero carb again to get back my super powers, they laugh but they can sense that their is some truth in what I say
The very first time I did low carb the "flu" was a almost a week long. I would feel fine and then I would crash randomly and even walking was exhausting. However, once that was over I can remember feeling great. Also I do recall the headaches and rapid heart beat and mild chest pains. This of course worried me but some materials I read at the time was that it was basically one's addiction to sugar/glycogen. I liked to give my body a personality and would use that as fuel, "that bastard is fighting back!" That too was short lived however.
On a sidebar, thinking back to before low carbohydrate, it angers me how one would get "low blood sugar" or that feeling when I had plenty of fat on me and I had eaten only a few hours before. It's like your body is lying to you and refuses to use that pantry of stored energy, jealously clinging onto its fat stores. It never made sense to me.
How did mankind function when food was scarce? It certainly wouldn't be an evolutionary benefit to collapse on the floor whenever you miss a meal. Once I discovered low carb I realized it's because we were never meant to eat that many carbohydrates.
I recall a funny column whose writer is lost to me. It was something like: "Carbs are actually quite rare in nature and those that did exist, like fruit, were much more fibrous and only available at certain times of the year. Don't believe me, go out in the forest and find some rye bread, pasta or a chocolate bar."
Thanks for the video. These keep me going!
I know this comment is from a long time ago, but in case anyone is reading, I think those symptoms of rapid heart beat / headache you describe are more about the loss of electrolytes. make sure you're consuming them enough :)
@@Evikeuklavier yea! feeling fatigued on a low-carb diet is quite of a common thing that happens when you're not having enough sodium or salt. that's why I've heard many recommend to increase your sodium intake when you're on a low-carb diet because your insulin levels go really low and your body starts shedding off the excess sodium. I also read that the decreasing level of carbs also means decreasing level of sodium
what I've been doing lately every morning is starting the day off with salty and cold lemon water. the freshness of the lemon and the salt kind of pumps you up a bit from the morning drowsiness :D
@@adiba8647 I sometimes just pour some salt in my hand and eat it 😅 but yeah! Salt is great. I pour a lot on my food. Avocados have a lot of potassium which we need too ☺️
@@Evikeuklavier agreed, I also would just like to have some salt on its own. Tho sometimes I just kinda overdo the salt on my food and that destroys the taste 💀
Might wanna be more careful with the seasoning next time ahaha
@@adiba8647 Try a cup or two of warm bone broth in the morning! Easy electrolytes!
that was very useful Dan, I've been on low carb and no sugar diet for a couple of months and have been losing lots of weight. I thought it was strange that sometimes I just can't finish a plate of food or even want to eat anything at all, so thanks for explaining the loss of appetite.
I decided not to go full keto though as I want this to be a lifestyle change, so I have fruit every day. I'm sure I'd lose more weight if I cut out fruit but am happy that my fat is going slowly. Cheers Matt
#7 is absolutely me! I’ve been on the ketogenic diet for a week now, and when I was working on my class work for managerial accounting I was focused and retained what I was learning. I got into this flow state of mind and finished in 1hr! Normally I would take 3-4hrs!!!!!!!
You will require gall bladder surgery and get kidney failure. Keto is not a good diet to be on long term. th-cam.com/video/CT8K6NcAigo/w-d-xo.html
I started keto 3 weeks ago. I believe it took me 2 weeks to get in ketosis, because last week I had so many of those symptoms. I had headaches and feel of fatigue at the gym. 2 days ago I had a terrible diarrhea, but it's different from any other I had ever. Now I'm feeling fine and apparently my appetite is gone, I don't feel hungry for hours. I'll keep it going
I trained myself to eat that way. I stop eating at 6 pm, then start up around 10 or 11 the next day
Me too
Good for u
Linds Ryan would u be really hungry at night?? I'm trying to do that but I have a hard time sleeping cause I feel the hunger!!
Andrea winger hell yes but you get used to it. I’m a binge eater, well WAS a binge eater. You honestly get used to it fast if you do it right. I eat a heavy breakfast with ghee in my eggs then a heavy dinner. For lunch I eat something like a veggie patties or salad with cheese and mayonnaise. That way you’re full longer. It’s so worth it! Every now and then I’ll have a few (maybe 3 or ) pork rinds a little before bed just in case but it helps! Also, drink warm lemon water an hour or two before bed and first in the morning (I just buy the little jug of lemon juice in the fruit section) also it’ll clear the bloat out. Then I eat breakfast. If I wake up in the middle of the night I usually take a table spoon or two of pepto or Kaopectate or tums! But yes it works!
Oh fa sho doe
