Got hit with type 2 in March. Got put on metformin but I was experiencing neuropathy. By sheer dumb luck I stumbled across Dr Bergs video on metformin and increasing the B vitamins. Neuropathy went away. Studied his videos on keto and now I'm down 65 pounds, numbers are down across the board, and I have a stupid amount of energy and I'm never hungry. Dr Berg is the truth.
Just diagnosed with type 2 also, and my doctor gave me metformin 2 times a day, and started experiencing neuropathy too, I'm gonna watch the metformin video now, thanka for thw information
My mom reversed insulin resistance in less than 2 months Apple cider vinegar morning Lemon Juice with meals NAC Tumeric and Green Tea She also reversed non fatty liver disease
As someone who has researched this area and PCOS extensively, I can say this is one of the most concise videos in this subject that delivers all essential details one needs to know.
No seriously!! It’s so hard to find out the main source and how to target it. Eating healthy has always been my thing but I think for now I’ll fast fruits majority of fruits
Lots of good information by Dr. Berg ! But , “ monitoring your blood sugar “ or blood pressure is vitally important , if you make any changes to your diet or supplement changes ! I personally do everything in writing on a daily bases not only for me but my wife in case of an emergency . My doctor is always notified through My Chart if I decide to try something different than my prescription medications ! What your doctor doesn’t know about your experimenting may very well put your life at risk between your 6 month checkups !
You know, today I had my cleaning at the dentists and my hygienist said, "Your home care is very good." And I told her I'm on a low carb diet with no sugar (I bought a water pick as well). But really, that was a huge affirmation that the diet and the care is the best not only for losing fat but holistically for better health.
I was obese, depressed and overworked. I had given up on myself and my life. Since starting ketogenic diet I have lost 35 lbs and have 50 more to go. I reversed pre diabetes. I’m also doing a lower level exercise daily. I also look forward to getting home to do self care. Diet and exercise. Thanks!!!
@@lunaticjite1 I really doubt you can start back up eating the way you did before, especially the carbs. You must learn to stay away from them as much as possible.
Cheers for the video content! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Damykrotia Natural Skin Magic (do a google search)? It is a great one off product for reversing insulin resistance and diabetes minus the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my m8 at last got great results with it.
You are saving my life. I've been watching you for just over 3 months, started Keto 2 months ago, unsteady on my feet but stuck to it until I got better at controlling myself, I am now 100% off insulin (36 units long), off 100% Januvia, off 100% Jardiance and am at 1000 Metformin (formerly 2000). All this in a good month of following your advice. THANK YOU.
Love the success comments! Dr Berg's videos helped me too. I'm almost ketovoire but did strict no grains, no sugar, no bad oils etc plus intermittent fasting for about 6 months 4 years ago. Dropped the 33 lbs to 120 and have stayed here ever since. Added D3K2 at that time, and never stopped it. In a few weeks my lungs were so healed or restored, I never used the new inhalers prescribed following a winter virus. I use coconut oil and heavy cream in coffee everyday. Still avoid those sugars and toxins most of the time and like intermittent fasting. I'm 72 and working with 2 paet time jobs. Thank you and bless you and your family.
Dr. Berg I cant thank you enough. December 2022 I started keto using your videos. I've lost 62 lbs., given up diabetes and blood pressure medication and I feel better than I have for years. 73 year old male.
Wow! Your success caught Dr. Berg's attention. Mind sharing your story and a transformation photo for our website? www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story -Dr. Berg's Support Team.
@@DrbergThank you for all your knowledge and support. I am 67 yr old female and having hormone changes but no symptoms. I was diagnosed with Hep C,and hypertension in 2021.I worked in a healthcare job and did not know I had it. Thank goodness I tried to give blood and found out before it got to the point of no return. None of the doctors gave me any information on how to change it. I did take meds and no longer have Hep C , but my liver tested Fibrosis stage F4 at 0.81 . I use to drink wine with my dinner and stopped drinking. I have for a long time have eaten organic meats and veg. But also ate carbs. I would gain 10 pounds every yr. No matter what I would do it would not come off. I found your videos when I hit 203 and this July stared keto and fasting. I am down to 179 pounds since November and it will not budge. I only do 1 meal a day usually. Sometimes a big salad and some nuts&seeds MCT oil at3pm then dinner at 6. I eat no carbs other than dinner so under 20. I have lost 3 inches since starting and I am no longer on my blood pressure meds. I am thankful for finding your videos. I just don’t know if it’s because of all scarring on my liver is why I am stuck.
You described my life perfectly - no weight loss despite huge exercise commitments, no weight loss despite all the 'diets' I tried, and despite all this, I am eternally hungry. You have converted me - cant thank you enough.
I started the Keto Lifestyle in June of 2017 and have fixed all of these problems and lost 60lbs. Thanks Dr. Berg for these videos that help me stick with it!
K31Scout Fantastic. I needed to hear this. I started around the same time as you, had good results, but somehow lost my way. I’m encouraged to hear from you that it is sustainable.
I am so freaking thrilled to realize that I am healing my IR! I have ALL 7 of your ways to tell...Im a 58 year old woman and began your Healthy Keto 4 months ago. I have lost 32ish pounds and am at a weight I havent seen since my late 30s.
Can’t thank you enough Dr Berg…you are the biggest wake up call in my life. Started cutting carbs and shifting towards keto 8 weeks ago when I was 120kg and all the time I am out of breath, cloths does not fit me anymore, tired all the time, knee problem, can’t run more than 60 sec yes one min only with hear rate reach 165 so quickly..now I am 110kg with one meal a day of healthy keto such avocado, egg, sea bass, salamon, wheatgrass powder, Cheddar cheese, sesame. Now I can run slowly but for more than 60 min nonstop. I have decided to keep doing keto as a lifestyle because I feel very healthy, light, energetic, sleeping very well, and my asthma condition has improved significantly.
That's fantastic! Dr. Berg would love to hear about your success with Keto! Please use this link to upload your story: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story Dr. Berg's Support Team.
Dr Berg has so much class ! He’s always dressed up nicely and the way he speaks and explains is amazing ! Not fast -not slow and smooth pleasure voice - like a real good professor ! The white board makes thinks easier to understand! Sometimes I take a picture of it and review it later on! Thank you dr Berg!!!
Brilliant. I was a night shift worker and developing all the signs of diabetes. I was getting sugar shakes so bad that I had to eat just before exercise, and sometimes have a snack during just to keep my energy levels up. I heard about intermittent fasting and decided to implement one rule: I would not eat between going to bed at 2pm, and getting home at 9am the next day. All my eating was done in a small window, and I never ate at night when I was working. After a short period of suffering, my energy levels quickly elevated, and now I dont need to shovel food down my gullet just to function. Great advice
@@luisrubalcava6331 Simply acquiring knowledge of something that you did not know beforehand changes you in that moment; like a bulb being turned on in your mind & you`re able to see & to understand what needs to be done.
@@luisrubalcava6331 Yeah, that`s correct. The person received the information 1st & from their perspective it changed their life immediately. Why is this a difficult concept for you to understand? I don`t have a problem understanding it.
I posted this before but I will mention again. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes with an A1C of 11.1. I am a male in my mid 60’s. After seeing first hand what medications did to special people in my life I refused the medication. My next A1C test was 8.1. I still refused the diabetes medication. My next A1C test result was 6.1. My next blood test is in a few months. By the way, body fat is no issue, and high blood pressure is no issue. Last week I took a half day hike for over 10 miles with no problem and with much satisfaction. Thanks for your research.
I,ve struggled for most of my life doing things wrong ,not understanding the chemical workings of the body Failed diets ,low self esteem through failure, but now Dr Berg has opened my eyes big time ,I,ve far more knowledge than ever before and now have a better understanding than ever ,and in the few short weeks of watching these great informative videos my life has been transformed Thank You Dr Berg ,I have mg life back

I've been insulin resistant for 65 of my 67 years; started keto on 9/1/20 after listening to and absorbing the information you provide, and while my a1c was already under control with what I thought was "correct" eating (I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes 20 months ago, but no insulin. I asked my doctor to let me control it with diet), I know that it's even better now that I've finally gained the understanding needed for why it's necessary to give up all sugars. I don't even use stevia or monk fruit because my GI tract cannot tolerate the effects of even erythritol, so I just don't eat anything sweet anymore. I'm also OMAD, finding that I just cannot cram so much food into my body now---I have no idea how to consume 7 cups of vegetables in one day, though I like veggies VERY much---and my sleep quality has improved drastically, thankfully! SO many benefits, and that's only eight days in, with me still eating wrong (I was eating fruit) the first four days.
Thank you for your encouraging comment. It was interesting that you ate fruit the first four days, and still improved. Do you ever eat fruit now? Perhaps it is not such a bad food, especially when compared to all the junk food some people eat.
Hi JB what ate you eating? I have been treated for hypothyroidism since 1989. Now Hosimotos. Pre diabetic, not a bread person. Don't eat cakes, bread, grains, not craving anything sweet. Mostly eat chicken. Steamed veggies, avocado. Cheese. Quinoa pasta,
You can eat small amount of fruit on keto, mostly berries, such as blackberries, elderberries, cranberries (unsweetened), blueberries, raspberries etc. Strawberries contain too much sugar though I believe
Twenty minutes after breakfast and lunch, I go for a brisk walk. I walk for 15-20 minutes and immediately do resistance training. The brisk walk really improves my insulin sensitivity because I can add a little more resistance every week to my training. My weight is stable and I have significant gains in muscles.
Thanks for the tip, I've seen this before, that exercise after a meal helps clear excess sugars, but I'd forgotten it. It sounds right to me, because after I eat my hunger goes sky high. It doesn't make sense.
My endocrine specialist in Europe told me to go for a 30 min walk...or some good resistence exercise, 20 mins after a meal...to help stop the pancreas sending out more insulin, and for the body to use up stored energy. She said that muscle training is necessary...like resistence training...I said mowing my half acre lawn...she said great...do that for 30 mins after every meal! I did and in about 5 months, I went back and she couldn't believe the difference! My bloods were normal!
My BP dropped from a consistent 145/90 to 110/70 within weeks of cutting sugar out of my diet and reducing carbs. My fasting glucose also came down from the mid to high 90’s to the low 80’s. Not a single doctor ever told me that sugar and carbs were responsible for my BP....I found out by accident. That is down right WRONG that people are not being given the right information.
I am in my late 40’s.....the change literally occurred with 3 weeks. I sometimes check my BP now and it is below a 100/70!...my entire adult life it was in the 140/90 range. I was always told to avoid SALT. What a lie....Salt is a mineral and is needed by the body. My weight also dropped from 200 to 188 within a month. I now keep my total carbs/sugar under a 100 grams per day and have been maintaining excellent vitals. Don’t miss the old me at all!👍
Been doing keto and IF for about 2 weeks now, my weight is 147lbs which I haven’t seen in about 2 years! I’ve always been 155-160 pounds. I’m hoping to reverse my PCOS and regulate my hormones 💪🏼 thank you Dr ♥️
I am type 2....This presentation makes so much sense. Since reducing carbs my BP and blood glucose has dropped and hunger abated...admittedly to not even Keto levels of low carb either, but reducing potato, rice, Pasta, bread and pastry has had a significant beneficial change. I can easily see how going keto and adding fasting days would push this even further. Great vid👍
Wow, i was diagnosed with nafl. Ever since i have been watching you, avoiding high fructose corn syrup or corn, avoiding carbs and soft drinks. Eating your liver healthy diets from your videos, i am showing significant signs of my liver healing. Dark circles disappearing slowly, losing weight around my stomach slowly, even my face isn't puffy, feel fuller more and can go longer without eating and feeling satisfied when i do eat. Everything you described pretty much i sm experiencing. Tells me my liver is healing. Way more energy now and not extremely fatigued. Never had this much energy my whole life. I was actually born jaundice and my whole life extremely fatigued. Had dark circles under my eyes since adolescents and was diagnosed with fatty liver in 2021 and wasn't even told. Seen it on my medical records. I have also been taking milk thistle as well as quercetin
I’m 28 and have always been overweight but never obese. I have been fasting for 20 hours a day and keeping my net carbs under 100g. Losing weight easily, low hunger, and high energy when fasting. I am trying to take control now while I’m young seeing as all of my grandparents have diabetes. I don’t want that life.
Very helpful, I try to stick to a low sugar diet. I have been for 3 years now, even had a baby a year ago and bounced back instantaneously. 5’5 inches and I’m 120lbs. Before doing this, I was 180 lbs and working out all the time…nothing worked till this. I also used to fall asleep throughout my day, not anymore!
I really appreciate these health tips. I have been a bordering diabetic for 10 years, I had changed my diet to a vegetables and fish but guess what still consuming carbs. I have since reduce my carbs and those seven points mentioned in this video I have seen much improvement. Thank you Dr. Berg.
@@graciousSenor That is the same for me. I am new diagnosed prediabetic so just trying to get my diet sorted out but I have noticed no carbs at all is not working out very well at night time.
I'm not diabetic. I have a belly, therefore, I know I am prediabetic. I tried Keto for several months and while I did lose weight, I also noticed my nails, hair, and other things becoming weaker. So I came out of Ketosis. I decided to eat healthier, no sugars, no hidden sugars, no fast foods or pre-packaged foods. I am getting healthier, losing my belly, and every part of me is healthy! I still listen to you, Dr. Berg, because you are a good teacher. I follow your advice, almost to a T. I still eat my oatmeal every morning. I've always liked whole oats with water and nothing else! I feel fantastic at 65 and well on my way to not becoming diabetic! Thank-you for sharing your life and wisdom ❤🥑🥥🍄🥩🧀🥗🌶🥦🍤🍋🍍🥔🥕🍅🥒🥕🥑🥕🥑
Alhamdulillaah for this video Im hungry all the time!!! And my weight has plateaued for several months!!! No wonder why i felt sleepy after meal.. and ive never gone longer than 3 hours without wanting to eat.. Thanks for the video dr! May Allaah reward you with more goodness
Alsalamoalikom My sugar was high and i started to follow him and i got his blood sugar supplement and it is great i never think my blood sugar will be 5.6 in 4 months
Thank you so much, I have been prediabetic for over 7 years. I started IF and Keto a month ago only lost 6lbs my BG is still high in the morning but I am not giving up. I bought the adrenal sleep aid and it’s helping a lot now. I don’t feel hungry till 3-4pm. I know I am on a right track. I will be patient
Dr Berg You are saving lives!! I have discovered why I am always not satisfied and craving sugar! I want to cut out ALL my sugar intake. Thanks so much!! I find it a bit hard, but keep telling myself in the long run I will benefit from it. Thanks a lot.
Being a homeopath myself I believe in healing ourself from within...and listening to Dr Berg lecture I have stamped my belief in homeopathy..thank u sir... M a fan !!!!
I love these types of Videos. Short but very informative. I believe Insulin Resistance is the root cause of most chronic health conditions in the U.S. and it's why even the young are so miserable these days. Everybody starts out eating a high carb diet with frequent snacking real early in life.
I've been so discouraged about not losing my weight as fast as I'd like to but each time I watch different video relating to insulin I feel a little better. I know that I'm insulin resistant and that it can be reversed. You finally gave me a tome line which helps me to stay track. Thank you again.
Also one thing to look at, high fructose corn syrup is in almost everything. Avoid it like a plague. 6 months consuming it can lead to non alcoholic fatty liver. Could be dealing with a liver issue. I found replacement items, condiments that doesn't have it. Miracle whip has it, so does ketchup but they make ones without it. I created a Walmart app that I began searching for food items and reading labels, then adding the items to my cart to remember them. Any corn products actually is hard on liver.
Even though I'm using these techniques effectively, I still watch new videos. I find watching them helps refresh my knowledge and makes it easier to stay on track.
I've noticed that if someone really knows about something, they are able to transmit it to others. This is Dr. Berg! I think he is wonderful!! If you're unable to understand your MD (money doctors), it's most likely because they don't understand it fully themselves. Just run away from those :-)
THANKS DOC! This is exactly what I needed to know, now I'm 100% sure I have insuline resistance, it's going to be a long road to recovery, but I'm ready for it.
Dr berg seriously i am in love with you. M a clinical pharmacist in pakistan and pre diabetic. Age 32 weight 58kg. I really enjoy the gaining of knowledge from you. Thanks a lot.
Thank you for all your videos! I was diagnosed with fatty live in Feb. I started keto life style then. I have lost 15 lbs so far. I still have days when I do not feel optimal, but I keep plodding along...it is working for me!🖒
This has worked for me!!! First time I’m in the driver seat…. And I’m losing weight like crazy. Feel so so much better!! Healing my body. Dr Berg knows what he is talking about!!
Excellent video as usual Dr. Berg. You deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. I’m sure just your videos have changed and improved many people’s lives. God bless.
29 M here about a month ago I did some lab work and got tryg-420, chol-220, ac1 fine but fasting glucose was 115. Now after doing keto/low carb and exercising tryg-320, cholesterol-176 and fasting glucose at 106. Really think I am turning things around by following Dr. Berg’s videos. Excited to see results in the next 1-2 months.
Dr Berg is changing the world. I wish so many more people would tune in. For the first time in 37 years, I feel satisfied after eating, I crave nothing, I have energy and I want to move my body. I feel brand new and I am forever grateful. There is also an amazing book by an author called Richard J Johnson called ‘Nature wants us to be fat’. It talks about how animals can simply ‘turn on’ a mechanism by consuming tonnes of ripe fruit and essentially create insulin resistance so they can stack on heaps of fat for hibernation/migration etc. We are exceptionally sensitive to fructose (due to a mutation) and hence we can turn on this mechanism by spiking our blood sugars with carbs\sugars and frequently eating = everything Dr Berg is trying to help us to understand. Legend Thankyou!
Andy Scheurer there are no carbs that are essential for nutrition. So there are no necessary carbs. And if you are insulin resistant carbs are indeed bad.
Lesley Pettit vegetables have carbs, and they are necessary. I think you’re referring to refined or simple carbs, such as bread, potatoes, pasta, chips, etc.
Finally my question of how will I know I am no longer diabetic has been answered so clearly! Thanks to you Dr Berg I am on my way to having a healthy body!
I agree. His videos have empowered me to make major changes….that have greatly paid off. My IR went down to 5.1 (A1C)…..and I am continuing the no sugar low/no carbs. I intend to do this for the rest of my life. I learned better/alternative foods, sweeteners etc. Lots of helpful info out there. Am able to IF and rarely craving things. God bless Dr Berg! Ahna
Wish I knew this as a youngster in the 1970's,, however now closer to my my mid 50s been doing all the stuff Dr Berg recommends and it's a life changer,,,as always a big Thanx for Great Info,,,
I havent ever been insulin resistant I think but I reversed it sooo much that even after my carb cycling days I'm still in ketosis, never hungry, full of energy
(John 45y)-after 2 hard years and lots of neck pain and fog because of zero carbs keto with IF my insulin is getting down from 12 to 6.5 and my sugars from 450 to 140-160 ... my resistance was very aggressive though....no more neck pain and right shoulder stiffness and Xanax... greets from greece athens... i did your diet Eric ...the dr Berg's Keto (and if) !!!!!!!!!!!
Γειά σου φίλε μπορώ με κάποιο τρόπο να επικοινωνήσω μαζί σου θέλω να μοιραστείς την ιστορία σου με τον πατέρα μου που έχει διαβήτη προσπαθώ να τον πείσω για την κετογενικη διατροφή
I completely reversed my diabetes and insulin resistance within a year thanks you. I got my blood results back and my insulin levels are extremely low due to my fasting and avoidance of carbs for over a year. Went from 13.9 A1C to 5.6. Lost 30 pounds and I actually work out less than I used to.
I was waiting for this answer about duration needed for reversing insulin resistance since months. Unfortunetly, I did a search but I couldn't find a clear answer. Thanks for answering it in this video.
@@Kube_Dog You are right, we all have different bodies, we don't have the same degree of insulin resistance. That's why I believe that the time frame he suggested was variable, he said 3-8+months. I would not expect someone with diabetes to reverse his insulin resistance in a 3 months. I would not expect something which developed over years to go away in days. For me it was important to know if it would take years or I would see an improvement of my insulin resistance symptoms in few months. I would trust Dr. Berg because of his long time experience in this field. I am also a health professional, No body taught me in college about reversing insulin resistance. Food and pharmaceutical industries would not like that the truth comes to the world.
Dr Berg, now you are part of my daily information on health. Just recently I discovered diabete 2 and your video gives me a way out. I am working on it now in natural way and comprehensive methode. Thank from France 🙏
Worlds best doctor, this guy started helping others for free years ago, he's done 1000s of videos that have helped millions around the world, the real star of TH-cam
Just started Keto and IF. I'm type 2 diabetic and obese and obviously have IR. This is tough because I am hungry and because I have IR I don't see any results. So it's depressing especially when Dr. Berg says it may take 8 months to a year to reverse IR. But my goal is to get off all the medication I'm taking for high BP, cholesterol, and diabetes. Long road ahead, but thankfully there's Dr. Berg with great videos and advice
It’ll be worth it. The first month was very difficult for me. Once you get into a routine you will find that it is much easier. Also seeing the visceral fat melt away encouraged me greatly.
It is type 3 diabetes. My mother, who was type 2, dodged the insulin injection for years. She now has Alzheimer's. I am now pre diabetic and now on keto. Going to visit her every week is a wake up call for me. Wake up people. I did.
@@trikkinikki13 I was never diagnosed, but I was combating scatterbrain and mental fogginess for many years, heartburn, dermatitis, food comas, and would sometimes get nerve pain in my toes. Skinny, but probably had prediabetes! Everything is better now but sometimes still get sleepy after eating. Bless your mom.
Inspiring, thank you. Today I'm just under 2 months into this project, 74 years old (otherwise healthy) and feeling discouraged. This picked me up. I just need to keep going!
This is the best & most thorough outline that I have been able to locate that identifies & clarifies what the insulin resistance cycle is & the necessary insulin resistance reversal steps & that process. Thank you for your clarity.
Thanks Dr. Berg. I started your program cold turkey after having my first diabetes-level blood glucose test. This was after years of being told I was in the pre-diabetic range without ever being given good advice on how to address the problem. Almost a month now and I have all the signs of ketosis and progress in my glucose levels except the dawn phenomenon still persists. But those numbers are going in the right direction too. Thank you.
@@drjohnson98 thank you. On about 8 weeks and I feel so much better without knowing I felt like crap :) Now going into maintenance mid bc I started for IR not weight loss. Once i fasted hard core I lost 8 lbs in 2 weeks. I also was not hungry so it was not a painful fast. I learned there is a maintenee phase which is not obvious info unless you look for it. (Slight hair thinning too). If I didn’t notice a slight hair thinning in a certain spot of my scalp I would’ve kept eating one meal a day or not eating at all unless the desire hit me but I realized I was probably one of those people who was losing weight fast and needed to bring up calories fat and or protein to counter balance the hair loss / weight loss.
Thanks Dr Berg this was so timely for me. I've been on Keto (as healthy as possible) and IF for 10 months. Was doing really well Weight falling off, BG under control and BP coming down. Really low carbs and absolutely no sugar! But, my wife won a prize of an English Cream Tea at a very nice hotel. That's sandwiches, pastries, and scones with cream and jam plus a glass of champagne as well as the teat. What could it harm I thought just this once and boy o boy was I wrong. Even after fasting for 20 hrs the following day BG skyrocketed and BP was up. Never again, complete and utter mistake. Once you are on healthy keto never come off. I reckon it will take me weeks to undo the damage. Thanks for explaining so clearly how I messed up 😊
You'll be okay. Over time you will develop more metabolic flexibility and won't suffer such dramatic setbacks (within reason). We are not fixed creatures. We are ADAPTABLE. Keep doing what you're doing and as your body becomes ever more healthy you will bounce back more efficiently from "indiscretions". Congratulations on your success!
@@WH2012 Thank you. BG was back to normal today so faster than I expected. Before a very low carb lunch (18 hrs fasted) it was 5.0 mmol/l and I tested at 30, 60 an 90 minutes after and it didn't get any higher, so hopefully am back on track, but as Dr B says it'll take time.
Found this so informative and easy to understand. I have been listening to Dr Berg for sometime now and live him. My fat around my stomach is shrinking and I don’t feel too bad. I have had a hell of a time over the past 15 months. Diagnosis of breast cancer, surgery, radiation and now the dreaded tamoxifen over the past 12 months. But Dr Berg’s podcasts are truly helping me. Thank you for making me understand the science. 🌹
What a great blueprint for health and longevity. Thanks Dr Berg! I try just some of them and have seen so much improvement in my heath. Thanks so much !
Dr Berg videos helped me I started keto, intermittent fasting 18:6, started taking Berberine. I’ve lost 30+ lbs and my A1C went from 8.9 to a 5.4 to 5.6 to a 5.4. Took a year of hard work and following dr berg videos and I’m a new person!

This is the BEST video I’ve ever seen with full explanation and *recommendation ... confirming what I’ve always known was best for my individual health... my own pcp never explained these concepts so well and so comprehensively!
Got hit with type 2 in March. Got put on metformin but I was experiencing neuropathy. By sheer dumb luck I stumbled across Dr Bergs video on metformin and increasing the B vitamins. Neuropathy went away. Studied his videos on keto and now I'm down 65 pounds, numbers are down across the board, and I have a stupid amount of energy and I'm never hungry. Dr Berg is the truth.
😊🌺
Thanks for sharing
Reversing that disease. Congrats on your journey to health. Stay strong, friend.
Just diagnosed with type 2 also, and my doctor gave me metformin 2 times a day, and started experiencing neuropathy too, I'm gonna watch the metformin video now, thanka for thw information
Same here. On metformin.

@@DrbergDr what is the “healthy keto”
You know, today I had my cleaning at the dentists and my hygienist said, "Your home care is very good." And I told her I'm on a low carb diet with no sugar (I bought a water pick as well). But really, that was a huge affirmation that the diet and the care is the best not only for losing fat but holistically for better health.
Most people don't think about this area of oral hygiene. You are absolutely correct. Also, using a water flosser is very important.
Sugar causes gum inflammation. Sugar is bad for
you do realize that a carb is a sugar You're still getting sugar
My phone is dead from watching Dr. Berg all day. 😆

He does dominate my viewing history. 😊

I've been binging Dr. BERG for 3 days, I'm hooked.
I was obese, depressed and overworked. I had given up on myself and my life. Since starting ketogenic diet I have lost 35 lbs and have 50 more to go. I reversed pre diabetes.
I’m also doing a lower level exercise daily. I also look forward to getting home to do self care. Diet and exercise.
Thanks!!!
I was all 3 too. I lost your goal weight but I got 80 more to go lol
Can we eat normally after reversing type 2 diabetes. I mean carbs.
That's impressive. How much time do you workout per day?
@@lunaticjite1 I really doubt you can start back up eating the way you did before, especially the carbs. You must learn to stay away from them as much as possible.
Congrats!
Dr.Berg is saving people's lives and money with every video! Thank you for giving hope to the hopeless.
I feel this absolutely works..Thanks Doctor..
Im doing this.... Now cutting the beverage once a week. No sugar means meal prepping and staying full of enough fat. Why go back to sugar?
Cheers for the video content! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Damykrotia Natural Skin Magic (do a google search)? It is a great one off product for reversing insulin resistance and diabetes minus the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my m8 at last got great results with it.

Is the principal the same for type 1 diabetes ?
You are saving my life. I've been watching you for just over 3 months, started Keto 2 months ago, unsteady on my feet but stuck to it until I got better at controlling myself, I am now 100% off insulin (36 units long), off 100% Januvia, off 100% Jardiance and am at 1000 Metformin (formerly 2000). All this in a good month of following your advice.
THANK YOU.
Congratulations 🎉
Wow amazing!
Happy for you and the better quality of life 🎊
Love the success comments! Dr Berg's videos helped me too. I'm almost ketovoire but did strict no grains, no sugar, no bad oils etc plus intermittent fasting for about 6 months 4 years ago. Dropped the 33 lbs to 120 and have stayed here ever since. Added D3K2 at that time, and never stopped it. In a few weeks my lungs were so healed or restored, I never used the new inhalers prescribed following a winter virus.
I use coconut oil and heavy cream in coffee everyday. Still avoid those sugars and toxins most of the time and like intermittent fasting. I'm 72 and working with 2 paet time jobs.
Thank you and bless you and your family.
Update please
Dr. Berg I cant thank you enough. December 2022 I started keto using your videos. I've lost 62 lbs., given up diabetes and blood pressure medication and I feel better than I have for years. 73 year old male.
Wow! Your success caught Dr. Berg's attention. Mind sharing your story and a transformation photo for our website?

@@DrbergThank you for all your knowledge and support. I am 67 yr old female and having hormone changes but no symptoms. I was diagnosed with Hep C,and hypertension in 2021.I worked in a healthcare job and did not know I had it. Thank goodness I tried to give blood and found out before it got to the point of no return. None of the doctors gave me any information on how to change it. I did take meds and no longer have Hep C , but my liver tested Fibrosis stage F4 at 0.81 . I use to drink wine with my dinner and stopped drinking. I have for a long time have eaten organic meats and veg. But also ate carbs. I would gain 10 pounds every yr. No matter what I would do it would not come off. I found your videos when I hit 203 and this July stared keto and fasting. I am down to 179 pounds since November and it will not budge. I only do 1 meal a day usually. Sometimes a big salad and some nuts&seeds MCT oil at3pm then dinner at 6. I eat no carbs other than dinner so under 20. I have lost 3 inches since starting and I am no longer on my blood pressure meds. I am thankful for finding your videos. I just don’t know if it’s because of all scarring on my liver is why I am stuck.
You described my life perfectly - no weight loss despite huge exercise commitments, no weight loss despite all the 'diets' I tried, and despite all this, I am eternally hungry. You have converted me - cant thank you enough.
Hi how did u lose?
Same here I'm eating pretty good and exercising but nothing is happening lol
update?
Hello can you please share how?
@@prime5816I would guess she did his keto program since salvador was converted.
I started the Keto Lifestyle in June of 2017 and have fixed all of these problems and lost 60lbs. Thanks Dr. Berg for these videos that help me stick with it!
K31Scout Did you get a hair lost?
Claudia Frank
No hair loss. I do use collagen peptides powder in my coffee which is good for hair and nails as well as tendons, ligaments and sleep.
Ive lost 15lbs from 155 to 140 so far in 10 weeks. Keto and intermittent fasting, with light workouts.
Claudia Frank 😂🤣 Good Question, you are funny 🌸
K31Scout Fantastic. I needed to hear this. I started around the same time as you, had good results, but somehow lost my way. I’m encouraged to hear from you that it is sustainable.
I am so freaking thrilled to realize that I am healing my IR! I have ALL 7 of your ways to tell...Im a 58 year old woman and began your Healthy Keto 4 months ago. I have lost 32ish pounds and am at a weight I havent seen since my late 30s.
Can’t thank you enough Dr Berg…you are the biggest wake up call in my life. Started cutting carbs and shifting towards keto 8 weeks ago when I was 120kg and all the time I am out of breath, cloths does not fit me anymore, tired all the time, knee problem, can’t run more than 60 sec yes one min only with hear rate reach 165 so quickly..now I am 110kg with one meal a day of healthy keto such avocado, egg, sea bass, salamon, wheatgrass powder, Cheddar cheese, sesame. Now I can run slowly but for more than 60 min nonstop. I have decided to keep doing keto as a lifestyle because I feel very healthy, light, energetic, sleeping very well, and my asthma condition has improved significantly.
That's fantastic! Dr. Berg would love to hear about your success with Keto! Please use this link to upload your story: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story

How are you now?
Dr Berg has so much class ! He’s always dressed up nicely and the way he speaks and explains is amazing ! Not fast -not slow and smooth pleasure voice - like a real good professor ! The white board makes thinks easier to understand! Sometimes I take a picture of it and review it later on! Thank you dr Berg!!!
YES HE IS A TRUE GENTLEMAN.
Yes to photo of whiteboard too
Yes he do have class
You in love Honey,but it’s okay! I hope no one did this to boost his Ego?
You are so right, mostly Americans on YT are hyper. Mrs Berg is also in that group too.
Brilliant. I was a night shift worker and developing all the signs of diabetes. I was getting sugar shakes so bad that I had to eat just before exercise, and sometimes have a snack during just to keep my energy levels up. I heard about intermittent fasting and decided to implement one rule: I would not eat between going to bed at 2pm, and getting home at 9am the next day. All my eating was done in a small window, and I never ate at night when I was working. After a short period of suffering, my energy levels quickly elevated, and now I dont need to shovel food down my gullet just to function. Great advice
ever since 2017 after watching Dr Berg videos, my health has dramatically improved.
best channel ever.

Yeah, that`s correct. The person received the information 1st & from their perspective it changed their life immediately. Why is this a difficult concept for you to understand? I don`t have a problem understanding it.
I posted this before but I will mention again. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes with an A1C of 11.1. I am a male in my mid 60’s. After seeing first hand what medications did to special people in my life I refused the medication. My next A1C test was 8.1. I still refused the diabetes medication. My next A1C test result was 6.1. My next blood test is in a few months. By the way, body fat is no issue, and high blood pressure is no issue. Last week I took a half day hike for over 10 miles with no problem and with much satisfaction. Thanks for your research.
Did you follow keto and do resistance training to get it down?
I,ve struggled for most of my life doing things wrong ,not understanding the chemical workings of the body
Failed diets ,low self esteem through failure, but now Dr Berg has opened my eyes big time ,I,ve far more knowledge than ever before and now have a better understanding than ever ,and in the few short weeks of watching these great informative videos my life has been transformed

Sadly, only leftist agendas are brainwashed into our children at school now, with a large dollop of political correctness.

👏🌈👏🌈🤩
Brilliant
Elaborate plz
@@maliktabassum3395 Just do what Dr. Berg says to do.
I've been insulin resistant for 65 of my 67 years; started keto on 9/1/20 after listening to and absorbing the information you provide, and while my a1c was already under control with what I thought was "correct" eating (I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes 20 months ago, but no insulin. I asked my doctor to let me control it with diet), I know that it's even better now that I've finally gained the understanding needed for why it's necessary to give up all sugars. I don't even use stevia or monk fruit because my GI tract cannot tolerate the effects of even erythritol, so I just don't eat anything sweet anymore. I'm also OMAD, finding that I just cannot cram so much food into my body now---I have no idea how to consume 7 cups of vegetables in one day, though I like veggies VERY much---and my sleep quality has improved drastically, thankfully!
SO many benefits, and that's only eight days in, with me still eating wrong (I was eating fruit) the first four days.
Thank you for your encouraging comment. It was interesting that you ate fruit the first four days, and still improved. Do you ever eat fruit now? Perhaps it is not such a bad food, especially when compared to all the junk food some people eat.
Hi JB what ate you eating? I have been treated for hypothyroidism since 1989. Now Hosimotos. Pre diabetic, not a bread person. Don't eat cakes, bread, grains, not craving anything sweet. Mostly eat chicken. Steamed veggies, avocado. Cheese. Quinoa pasta,
Taking Cytomel , synthroid, D3, potassium, zinc, magnesium, coQ10,
B complex, elderberry, and starting k2, selenium, apple cider vinegar, and iodine today.
So you became insulin resistant at the age of two ???😂😂😂
You can eat small amount of fruit on keto, mostly berries, such as blackberries, elderberries, cranberries (unsweetened), blueberries, raspberries etc. Strawberries contain too much sugar though I believe
You are literally saving lives. I love how you explain it. It is so easy to understand and makes so much sense. Thank you Dr. Berg!!! 💜
Thank you! Feedback from our followers is always appreciated.
Twenty minutes after breakfast and lunch, I go for a brisk walk. I walk for 15-20 minutes and immediately do resistance training. The brisk walk really improves my insulin sensitivity because I can add a little more resistance every week to my training. My weight is stable and I have significant gains in muscles.
You should not exercise immediately after meal. Maybe after atleast 40 minutes after your meal
Thanks for the tip, I've seen this before, that exercise after a meal helps clear excess sugars, but I'd forgotten it. It sounds right to me, because after I eat my hunger goes sky high. It doesn't make sense.
@@sz4179 You have reactive hypoglycemia due to deficiencies.
Fix your B vitamins and Magnesium!
My endocrine specialist in Europe told me to go for a 30 min walk...or some good resistence exercise, 20 mins after a meal...to help stop the pancreas sending out more insulin, and for the body to use up stored energy. She said that muscle training is necessary...like resistence training...I said mowing my half acre lawn...she said great...do that for 30 mins after every meal! I did and in about 5 months, I went back and she couldn't believe the difference! My bloods were normal!
I spend so much time admiring you , I’ve hardly absorbed anything else!😂😅
My BP dropped from a consistent 145/90 to 110/70 within weeks of cutting sugar out of my diet and reducing carbs. My fasting glucose also came down from the mid to high 90’s to the low 80’s. Not a single doctor ever told me that sugar and carbs were responsible for my BP....I found out by accident. That is down right WRONG that people are not being given the right information.
amen amigo!!
How long did it take you to have this normal level?
marcus Aurelius 95 I would love to know also. I predict maybe 3 months?
FDA, CDC, and Big pharma LOVE sick people... good for business.
I am in my late 40’s.....the change literally occurred with 3 weeks. I sometimes check my BP now and it is below a 100/70!...my entire adult life it was in the 140/90 range. I was always told to avoid SALT. What a lie....Salt is a mineral and is needed by the body. My weight also dropped from 200 to 188 within a month. I now keep my total carbs/sugar under a 100 grams per day and have been maintaining excellent vitals. Don’t miss the old me at all!👍
Been doing keto and IF for about 2 weeks now, my weight is 147lbs which I haven’t seen in about 2 years! I’ve always been 155-160 pounds. I’m hoping to reverse my PCOS and regulate my hormones 💪🏼 thank you Dr ♥️

I am type 2....This presentation makes so much sense. Since reducing carbs my BP and blood glucose has dropped and hunger abated...admittedly to not even Keto levels of low carb either, but reducing potato, rice, Pasta, bread and pastry has had a significant beneficial change. I can easily see how going keto and adding fasting days would push this even further. Great vid👍
Wow, i was diagnosed with nafl. Ever since i have been watching you, avoiding high fructose corn syrup or corn, avoiding carbs and soft drinks. Eating your liver healthy diets from your videos, i am showing significant signs of my liver healing. Dark circles disappearing slowly, losing weight around my stomach slowly, even my face isn't puffy, feel fuller more and can go longer without eating and feeling satisfied when i do eat. Everything you described pretty much i sm experiencing. Tells me my liver is healing. Way more energy now and not extremely fatigued. Never had this much energy my whole life. I was actually born jaundice and my whole life extremely fatigued. Had dark circles under my eyes since adolescents and was diagnosed with fatty liver in 2021 and wasn't even told. Seen it on my medical records.
I have also been taking milk thistle as well as quercetin
I’m 28 and have always been overweight but never obese. I have been fasting for 20 hours a day and keeping my net carbs under 100g. Losing weight easily, low hunger, and high energy when fasting. I am trying to take control now while I’m young seeing as all of my grandparents have diabetes. I don’t want that life.
Loving your transparency . Even the answer is in the thumbnail, it’s never clickbait
Very helpful, I try to stick to a low sugar diet. I have been for 3 years now, even had a baby a year ago and bounced back instantaneously. 5’5 inches and I’m 120lbs.
Before doing this, I was 180 lbs and working out all the time…nothing worked till this.
I also used to fall asleep throughout my day, not anymore!
hey alina, I have insulin resistance too. Whats your IG? maybe we can talk...
Awesome subject . My sugar is up and down from 124 to 180. Appreciate guidance and putting me on strict diet
I am in Lebanon. We love you doctor berg
I really appreciate these health tips. I have been a bordering diabetic for 10 years, I had changed my diet to a vegetables and fish but guess what still consuming carbs. I have since reduce my carbs and those seven points mentioned in this video I have seen much improvement. Thank you Dr. Berg.
Any significant changes a year on? I'm beginning my journey after being insulin resistant for the last 2 years. Thanks
Do you eat carbs at all or just low carb? When I completely cut carbs I cannot sleep, even with magnesium, melatonin, and electrolytes.
@@graciousSenor That is the same for me. I am new diagnosed prediabetic so just trying to get my diet sorted out but I have noticed no carbs at all is not working out very well at night time.
I'm not diabetic. I have a belly, therefore, I know I am prediabetic. I tried Keto for several months and while I did lose weight, I also noticed my nails, hair, and other things becoming weaker. So I came out of Ketosis. I decided to eat healthier, no sugars, no hidden sugars, no fast foods or pre-packaged foods. I am getting healthier, losing my belly, and every part of me is healthy! I still listen to you, Dr. Berg, because you are a good teacher. I follow your advice, almost to a T. I still eat my oatmeal every morning. I've always liked whole oats with water and nothing else! I feel fantastic at 65 and well on my way to not becoming diabetic! Thank-you for sharing your life and wisdom ❤🥑🥥🍄🥩🧀🥗🌶🥦🍤🍋🍍🥔🥕🍅🥒🥕🥑🥕🥑

I love these types of Videos. Short but very informative. I believe Insulin Resistance is the root cause of most chronic health conditions in the U.S. and it's why even the young are so miserable these days. Everybody starts out eating a high carb diet with frequent snacking real early in life.

I've been so discouraged about not losing my weight as fast as I'd like to but each time I watch different video relating to insulin I feel a little better. I know that I'm insulin resistant and that it can be reversed. You finally gave me a tome line which helps me to stay track. Thank you again.
It takes time. I'm in year 3 and my best results are just coming now. Age 59
Also one thing to look at, high fructose corn syrup is in almost everything. Avoid it like a plague. 6 months consuming it can lead to non alcoholic fatty liver. Could be dealing with a liver issue. I found replacement items, condiments that doesn't have it. Miracle whip has it, so does ketchup but they make ones without it. I created a Walmart app that I began searching for food items and reading labels, then adding the items to my cart to remember them. Any corn products actually is hard on liver.
Even though I'm using these techniques effectively, I still watch new videos. I find watching them helps refresh my knowledge and makes it easier to stay on track.
Thank you Dr.! There is hope..
People need to hear this video sometimes we give up too soon. Thanks for your support.

Amazed at how much valuable information you can give us in just over 5mins. Thanks so much your videos are a Godsend.
29 M here about a month ago I did some lab work and got tryg-420, chol-220, ac1 fine but fasting glucose was 115. Now after doing keto/low carb and exercising tryg-320, cholesterol-176 and fasting glucose at 106. Really think I am turning things around by following Dr. Berg’s videos. Excited to see results in the next 1-2 months.
Dr Berg is changing the world. I wish so many more people would tune in. For the first time in 37 years, I feel satisfied after eating, I crave nothing, I have energy and I want to move my body. I feel brand new and I am forever grateful. There is also an amazing book by an author called Richard J Johnson called ‘Nature wants us to be fat’. It talks about how animals can simply ‘turn on’ a mechanism by consuming tonnes of ripe fruit and essentially create insulin resistance so they can stack on heaps of fat for hibernation/migration etc. We are exceptionally sensitive to fructose (due to a mutation) and hence we can turn on this mechanism by spiking our blood sugars with carbs\sugars and frequently eating = everything Dr Berg is trying to help us to understand. Legend Thankyou!
1. Eat whole foods
2. Avoid processed foods
3. Gym
4. Apply fasting to your daily routine.
Number 1 is fasting
There's plenty of 'whole foods' that are rich in carbs and bad for you
Andy Scheurer there are no carbs that are essential for nutrition. So there are no necessary carbs. And if you are insulin resistant carbs are indeed bad.
@@andyscheurer6336 plenty of them are actually
Lesley Pettit vegetables have carbs, and they are necessary.
I think you’re referring to refined or simple carbs, such as bread, potatoes, pasta, chips, etc.
Finally my question of how will I know I am no longer diabetic has been answered so clearly! Thanks to you Dr Berg I am on my way to having a healthy body!
Dr. Berg, I sincerely appreciate all that you do. You've helped me and I continue to learn from you. Thank you!
Dr Berg is a blessing in disguise, watching from Pakistan.
جزاک اللہ خیرا.
I agree. His videos have empowered me to make major changes….that have greatly paid off. My IR went down to 5.1 (A1C)…..and I am continuing the no sugar low/no carbs. I intend to do this for the rest of my life. I learned better/alternative foods, sweeteners etc. Lots of helpful info out there. Am able to IF and rarely craving things. God bless Dr Berg! Ahna
Wish I knew this as a youngster in the 1970's,, however now closer to my my mid 50s been doing all the stuff Dr Berg recommends and it's a life changer,,,as always a big Thanx for Great Info,,,
I havent ever been insulin resistant I think but I reversed it sooo much that even after my carb cycling days I'm still in ketosis, never hungry, full of energy
(John 45y)-after 2 hard years and lots of neck pain and fog because of zero carbs keto with IF my insulin is getting down from 12 to 6.5 and my sugars from 450 to 140-160 ... my resistance was very aggressive though....no more neck pain and right shoulder stiffness and Xanax... greets from greece athens... i did your diet Eric ...the dr Berg's Keto (and if) !!!!!!!!!!!
Γειά σου φίλε μπορώ με κάποιο τρόπο να επικοινωνήσω μαζί σου θέλω να μοιραστείς την ιστορία σου με τον πατέρα μου που έχει διαβήτη προσπαθώ να τον πείσω για την κετογενικη διατροφή
I completely reversed my diabetes and insulin resistance within a year thanks you. I got my blood results back and my insulin levels are extremely low due to my fasting and avoidance of carbs for over a year. Went from 13.9 A1C to 5.6. Lost 30 pounds and I actually work out less than I used to.
This video just answered almost every question I had pertaining to my diabetic, weight loss situation, Thank you Dr. Berg
I was waiting for this answer about duration needed for reversing insulin resistance since months. Unfortunetly, I did a search but I couldn't find a clear answer. Thanks for answering it in this video.
Aliss 1 I had a similar situation .. thanks God finally I had the answer ..
@@Kube_Dog You are right, we all have different bodies, we don't have the same degree of insulin resistance. That's why I believe that the time frame he suggested was variable, he said 3-8+months. I would not expect someone with diabetes to reverse his insulin resistance in a 3 months. I would not expect something which developed over years to go away in days. For me it was important to know if it would take years or I would see an improvement of my insulin resistance symptoms in few months.
I would trust Dr. Berg because of his long time experience in this field.
I am also a health professional, No body taught me in college about reversing insulin resistance. Food and pharmaceutical industries would not like that the truth comes to the world.
Dr Berg, now you are part of my daily information on health. Just recently I discovered diabete 2 and your video gives me a way out. I am working on it now in natural way and comprehensive methode. Thank from France 🙏
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! THIS VIDEO IS SUCH A BLESSING TO ME!! THANKS DR. BERG FOR WHAT YOU DO! YOU ARE APPRECIATED!!
Worlds best doctor, this guy started helping others for free years ago, he's done 1000s of videos that have helped millions around the world, the real star of TH-cam
Just started Keto and IF. I'm type 2 diabetic and obese and obviously have IR. This is tough because I am hungry and because I have IR I don't see any results. So it's depressing especially when Dr. Berg says it may take 8 months to a year to reverse IR. But my goal is to get off all the medication I'm taking for high BP, cholesterol, and diabetes. Long road ahead, but thankfully there's Dr. Berg with great videos and advice
It’ll be worth it. The first month was very difficult for me. Once you get into a routine you will find that it is much easier. Also seeing the visceral fat melt away encouraged me greatly.
update on how you are doing now? I'm at month 4 and still hoping for better results!
I heard someone on another video refer to Alzheimer's as 'Type 3 Diabetes' - what a wake up call that was. Thank you so much again
I heard it called that too, a couple of years ago. Really puts things into perspective.
It is type 3 diabetes. My mother, who was type 2, dodged the insulin injection for years. She now has Alzheimer's. I am now pre diabetic and now on keto. Going to visit her every week is a wake up call for me.
Wake up people. I did.
@@trikkinikki13 really? I hope your mother heals.

I was never diagnosed, but I was combating scatterbrain and mental fogginess for many years, heartburn, dermatitis, food comas, and would sometimes get nerve pain in my toes. Skinny, but probably had prediabetes! Everything is better now but sometimes still get sleepy after eating.
Bless your mom.
Diabetes of the brain 🧠
Inspiring, thank you. Today I'm just under 2 months into this project, 74 years old (otherwise healthy) and feeling discouraged. This picked me up. I just need to keep going!
check your vit B if you feel discouraged..
Finally! Someone to break this down in a way I could understand. Thank you!
This is the best & most thorough outline that I have been able to locate that identifies & clarifies what the insulin
resistance cycle is & the necessary insulin resistance reversal steps & that process. Thank you for your clarity.
No problem. Happy to share this video.
Thanks Dr. Berg. I started your program cold turkey after having my first diabetes-level blood glucose test. This was after years of being told I was in the pre-diabetic range without ever being given good advice on how to address the problem. Almost a month now and I have all the signs of ketosis and progress in my glucose levels except the dawn phenomenon still persists. But those numbers are going in the right direction too. Thank you.
Same!
@@nancyorkeithm1518 Good luck. I hope it goes great for you. I am still following Dr. Berg's advice nine months later and feeling great.
@@drjohnson98 thank you. On about 8 weeks and I feel so much better without knowing I felt like crap :)
Now going into maintenance mid bc I started for IR not weight loss. Once i fasted hard core I lost 8 lbs in 2 weeks. I also was not hungry so it was not a painful fast. I learned there is a maintenee phase which is not obvious info unless you look for it. (Slight hair thinning too). If I didn’t notice a slight hair thinning in a certain spot of my scalp I would’ve kept eating one meal a day or not eating at all unless the desire hit me but I realized I was probably one of those people who was losing weight fast and needed to bring up calories fat and or protein to counter balance the hair loss / weight loss.
@@nancyorkeithm1518 Congrats! I'm glad it is working for you. The immediate payoff of feeling better is highly motivating, isn't it?
Thanks Dr Berg this was so timely for me. I've been on Keto (as healthy as possible) and IF for 10 months. Was doing really well Weight falling off, BG under control and BP coming down. Really low carbs and absolutely no sugar! But, my wife won a prize of an English Cream Tea at a very nice hotel. That's sandwiches, pastries, and scones with cream and jam plus a glass of champagne as well as the teat. What could it harm I thought just this once and boy o boy was I wrong. Even after fasting for 20 hrs the following day BG skyrocketed and BP was up. Never again, complete and utter mistake. Once you are on healthy keto never come off. I reckon it will take me weeks to undo the damage. Thanks for explaining so clearly how I messed up 😊
You'll be okay. Over time you will develop more metabolic flexibility and won't suffer such dramatic setbacks (within reason). We are not fixed creatures. We are ADAPTABLE. Keep doing what you're doing and as your body becomes ever more healthy you will bounce back more efficiently from "indiscretions". Congratulations on your success!
@@WH2012 Thank you. BG was back to normal today so faster than I expected. Before a very low carb lunch (18 hrs fasted) it was 5.0 mmol/l and I tested at 30, 60 an 90 minutes after and it didn't get any higher, so hopefully am back on track, but as Dr B says it'll take time.
Ralph Taylor ☺thank you for your advice dear...I can imagine it...
@@ralphtaylor9968 Nice work!
I'll bet the goodies at the English tea were incredible though ;)
This was not a question I asked, but it is definitely something I needed. Thanks again for all you do Dr. Berg!!
You're wonderful to listen to! You explain everything so well. I wish you were my doctor.
Found this so informative and easy to understand. I have been listening to Dr Berg for sometime now and live him. My fat around my stomach is shrinking and I don’t feel too bad. I have had a hell of a time over the past 15 months. Diagnosis of breast cancer, surgery, radiation and now the dreaded tamoxifen over the past 12 months. But Dr Berg’s podcasts are truly helping me. Thank you for making me understand the science. 🌹

What a great blueprint for health and longevity. Thanks Dr Berg! I try just some of them and have seen so much improvement in my heath. Thanks so much !
I know I'm late but thank you for all the time and work you invest into informing the masses. Thank you Dr.Berg
Thank you for the easy to understand explanation. I needed to hear the time it takes to actually reverse insulin resistance.
Wow! I've watched this before, but this video is so good, it's well worth watching over and over! Thanks Dr. Berg!
Dr Berg videos helped me I started keto, intermittent fasting 18:6, started taking Berberine. I’ve lost 30+ lbs and my A1C went from 8.9 to a 5.4 to 5.6 to a 5.4. Took a year of hard work and following dr berg videos and I’m a new person!
That's fantastic! Congratulations! Dr. Berg would love to hear about your success! Please use this link to upload your story:

It’s been 4 years since he posted this video and I just now watched it😢 thank for helping the whole world❤️it
This is the BEST video I’ve ever seen with full explanation and *recommendation ... confirming what I’ve always known was best for my individual health... my own pcp never explained these concepts so well and so comprehensively!
