For those who are watching this video for the first time - because you are fed up with being overweight - I just want to share that I have been doing a Keto diet for less than four months now and have lost 50lbs. I combine Keto with Intermittent Fasting (18 off/6 on). I eat two meals in that 6hr window - no snacking. I walk every morning. The toughest part to manage when you start is your brain telling you to grab a snack. You get plenty of fat, protein, and vitamins from the keto-friendly food you prepare. You're not going to starve - despite what your sneaky brain will try to tell you. Your enemy is the impulsive cravings that are bolstered by old habits. Prepare only good food. Manage the impulse eating. Adhere to your feeding window. Don't cheat. ....oh yeah ...and watch Dr. Bergs videos. Extremely helpful. You can do this. I did.
@@REY-RUM : Honestly, the FASTING aspect is the CRITICAL piece in losing weight. You can run / walk all you want but if you're still dumping calories after and thinking "oh I'll burn that off by running or walking longer..." Nope doesn't work. Just walk to get some kind of activity to rev up your system and your physiology. But the TYPE of FOOD and the FASTING is what will make the biggest impact. You can do alot in 12 to 16 hours start there.
@@REY-RUM I'm not counting calories, I'm just just paying attention to my portion size and making sure that I have a good balance of fats, veggies and proteins in each meal. I walk a mile a day.
Congrats!! Which IF did you do? How many meals a day? I started nov. 23rd, lost 10 pounds.. you lost 32lbs in a month and 3 weeks! That’s awesome.. if you can share what you are doing...thanks!
I wish that I would have taken before and after shots, but I was so ashamed of myself, I would never take pictures before. I went from 240 to 174 in less than 1 year. I have KEPT IT OFF for 2 years now. I really enjoy my morning jog, or bike ride, or walk, which I now do with a light backpack. I am slowly working up to ruck sports. I am 55 years old and in better shape than I was in my 40s. Dr. Berg has done all of the hard work for us. This is EASY thanks to Dr. Berg. Just keep his videos in que and go through them whenever you wonder if you are doing the right thing.
Update from 3 months ago - down 61lbs now, holding steady at 182!!!!! I feel amazing, and people say I look like I'm 30 years old (I'm 50). If anyone is on the fence about trying this lifestyle just give it 30 days and see how you feel. You will be amazed at the results. Keep in mind it's a LIFESTYLE and not a diet, that's the most important thing.
Well done. Really good for you. That is major weight loss. Can I ask, did you always eat a full 7 cups of vegetables?. This is what scares me about starting. I just can't picture having to eat that amount of veg. every day. Thank you, and may your success continue.
I have spent the last year on WW and managed to lose 38 pounds. I still need to lose another 20 and am hanging on by a thread with the counting points and low fat and always always hungry especially if I’m working out much which I do several times during the week. I’m trying to wrap my brain around this keto concept and it helps to read about people like you who have such amazing results from it especially the lifestyle vs diet point. I’ve been exploring keto and have been on the fence about it so this does help in making my decision. Thanks for sharing your amazing success.
@@HofB Congrats on your weight loss! I've been educating myself on nutrition since I started this and I've learned a few things. One important thing I've learned is that any diet telling you it's okay to eat pasta, bread, pizza, etc is clearly a company trying to make money. I've worked out my whole life in an effort to keep my weight at an acceptable level, eaten oatmeal and lean protein, low fat foods, etc. None of it worked! Six months on Keto and IF and I'm down 63lbs, plus I've worked out once since I started. I guess my message is to forget everything you've learned about diet and nutrition and start over with people like Dr Berg, Dr Jason Fung, Dr Sten Ekberg, the list goes on. Best of luck!!
@@mbd6054 you can make it into a smoothie, dr. berg talks about his kale shake, that's probably 2c right there. when you juice or blend vegetables you get more cups of veggies for the actual cup you drink. you can also cut up veggies into the meat you have, like meatball, you can shred in carrot and onion and get another cup or two right with your meat. be creative!
I am forever grateful for the day when your video randomly played 3 years ago after I searched weight loss! I followed your steps and it worked. I lost 120 lbs and I have maintained my weight loss for 2 years now. Thank you Dr. Berg!!
I am 5’10” and was 255lbs, I started this 7 days ago with a commitment two do it for two weeks. My weight is down to 242 already and I’m feeling better. To anyone trying this the first 3-4 days are the roughest with sugar cravings then they go away. Now I’m looking to extend it for another two weeks. Thank you Dr. Berg!
@@sweetyworld2167 I’ve watched a lot of Dr. Bergs videos. I started with intermittent fasting but I wasn’t loosing weight. But what it did do was it taught my body to not crave food all day. I basically trained my body with fasting. Some weeks I would not eat for 3 days sometimes dry fasting for a day or two and I would still not keep the weight off. Even though I was eating 1 meal a day. So I learned that the quality of that meal is very important and that sugar is the issue. I started to read ever label and ate absolutely zero sugars and low carbs. Then the weight just fell away. I do not have an exercise routine. I do some body weight training 2-3 times a day when I think about it. That consists of 30-60 pushups or squats or stretches. Then I go on with my day, I do not focus on exercise. Once I perfect my fasting and diet then I will add exercise. Exercise will not fix a bad diet. As far as what I eat. Every meal starts with a cabbage and kale salad and usually I make a fatty meat and put it on top of the salad instead of dressing. The best advice I can give you is to change your relationship with food. Most cultures use food to celebrate, this makes food enjoyable. Stop enjoying food, eat things you don’t like. Most people don’t like work but they still go to work. Look at food the same way. Look at food for its nutritional value not the taste. Also, think of why you drink liquids, you need water that’s all, so just drink a good clean filtered water. I hope this helps you reach your goals.
@@alpha9526 hi dear ,I didn't expected u reply to me ,but when I saw your reply I m so happy to read Ur comments, Ur advice is really great , I ll definitely follow that n thanks a ton ,I m damn sure it ll help me out I just wanted to reduce 30 kg within 3 months, so please if is there any other suggestions for me please don't hesitate to share with me , it ll help me a lot , n congratulations for your success , bye 🙏🙏🙏
@@sweetyworld2167 I’m glad my advice gave you something to think about. That is a lot of weight to lose quickly. Be safe about it, sit and feel what you body feels like, if your fasting and something just doesn’t feel right then eat something. I hope you reach your goal, take care of yourself.
Bullet point for my reference: Low carbs, 2 meals a day -Cut out ALL sugars (honey, agave nectar, brown/white sugar, etc.) +Can replace sugars with sugar alchohols ( - Avoid fruit except berries in small amounts (raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries) - Avoid Grains (breads, pasta, cereal, crackers) + Can replace with almond flour - Avoid starches like potatoes + Can replace with cauliflour (cauliflour crust pizza) Vegetables (7-10 cups a day) -eat 1st in a meal + Salads + Bell peppers, cabbage, broccoli, kale, brussel sprouts, carrots, tomatoes, beets, etc. Protein (3-8oz maybe more if you are an athlete) -eat 2nd in a meal + Meat, Fish, Chicken, Seafood + Eggs + Cheese (don't go overboard) + Nuts -or- Nut butter (sugar free) * Consume protein that has more fat - Avoid whey protein powder bc it increases insulin levels Fats -eat 3rd in a meal + Avocado + Butter (Use to cook or melt over vegetables) + Olive oil (can use on salads) + Coconut oil - Avoid soy oil, corn oil, canola oil, cottonseed oil, sunflower oil (appear in salad dressings and mayo)
This is great, but berries apparently are tomatoes, avocado, eggplant, not strawberries and other fruits which has berries in name. This is very confusing. So what 'berries' to eat?
Playing around with starting keto. I gave myself a challenge this weekend to replace a craving for "greystone Bakery" blondie with a keto substitute. I spent a good ~$50 buying keto friendly ingredients to make a replacement for a ~ $2.50 treat. I am not willing to give up fruit longterm...maybe at the end of summer when my favorite fruits or out of season, I challenge myself to a month or so of full blown keto The benefits I see in being keto minded this past two days is mindfulness about eating habits which could transition to mindfulness and discipline in other areas. For example. I am now more mindful about adequate veggie consumption. And portion control with fruits, sweets, and dessert. If I ever get deeper into keto, it would be for the mental benefits more than the weight loss. I am aware of the cognitive benefits of extended fasting, if keto can mimic that, well then...
6 weeks in and I'm down 30 lbs! The first 15 were gone in the first two weeks from the DRAMATIC loss of water weight that occurs when you stop eating all that sugary poison. The difference in the way I feel could only be compared to when I quit smoking and I look a heck of a lot better, too. Thanks Dr. Berg!
I love Dr. Berg and his advice. A year ago I started keto in in six months I had lost 60 pounds. I didn’t even exercise. I felt so much better and got off of a lot of meds like pre-diabetes medicine, high blood pressure medicine, and anti-depressants.
For a 17-year-old, like myself, it is very beneficial to be knowledgeable about these things in early life, so I can implement and maximize them throughout my lifetime. Having people like you Dr. Eric Berg, sharing your knowledge on how they will improve their life with others you don't even know, for free, is such a blessing that I will be forever grateful for. Now, I've finally restored my faith in humanity. Thank you, my guy. I'm going to do this, good luck with my journey. I hope it works out for the best. I'll try my best to update every once in a while, to see any progress or notable changes in my body. Good luck to y'all.
Yea like am 16 too and I feel completely tge same ..It's good to think abt our lives and fitness..Since there's this most common saying "health is wealth "
Dr Berg. I just wanted to thank you for your videos, they have helped me tremendously!! 1.5 years ago I had blood work done and my doc told me I was prediabetic. I discovered your videos and cleaned myself up. Did healthy keto and intermittent fasting and worked out 4-5 times a week. This morning, my fast blood sugars were 91 then 2 hours after my meal my blood sugars were 90! I am no longer prediabetic, THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO!
That's fantastic! Congratulations! I would love to hear about your success! Please use this link to upload your story: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story
I am 46, 5’6” After watching this video, I started keto on Dec 19th @ 218 lb’s. Today (March 7th) I am 185 lb’s All of your keto , night sleep, cold shower, etc. videos, have helped guide me very effectively. And yes I agree, this is not a diet, it is a life style and along the way I continue to learn more and more about keto. Thank you 😊
@@joycewright5386 Congratulations on your success! I'm 16 months in and holding steady at 178lbs, never thought I'd be under 200lbs but here I am. Keep it up!
should i care about calories in keto? yes or no? im int. fasting 18-20hours a day whats the max grams of carbs/sugar i can take a day? and do vegetable carbs count into that aswell? should i count calories during keto ?
I've been checking my blood sugar for about a year because if noticing low cognitive functions tingling and numbness in my finger and toe tips, tingling lip and skin.. I've never seen my blood sugar drop below 120 the entire time. I've started following your advice and within three days I've seen below 100 results. And started to feel the reduced numbness in my fingertips and toe tips. Thanks I look forward to this lifetime change
Absolutely, this man is legit! I am also living proof that if you do what he is telling you to do that you can and will see results. I am 56 years old and 5ft.11in. tall. Three months ago I weighed 280 lbs. and had an A1C of 8.3. I started following the good doctor's advice and I just had my follow up appointment with my own doctor and he was shocked to say the least. My weight is down to 240 lbs. and my A1C is 6.3!
Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your wins! Could you tell us more about it and would you be willing to submit it here, so that we can share it? Please use this link: ---> www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story
@@Drberg I am a female and would like to start. Can I consume 3 meals a day? And just don't understand keto. I am from South Africa and was on weigh less, where I measured my meals on a scale. I did loose but, yes please explain what you would eat in a day
@@nazeemasamodien9421 Did you watch this video? Watch it again. He says what to eat, shows pictures of food to eat and wrote on the board the names of food.
@@Drberg I am mesmerized by your generosity and information. I am taking the leap of faith. I googled your information and it is sound. I have hope for the first time in a long while. I have had gastric bypass and gained 55 pounds eating my wows away for the past 4 years. I just poured my first cup of coffee without sugar and coffee mate. Not bad. I have binged today on hours of you and a lifestyle I believe is reasonable. I took before pictures and will do so every 2 weeks. I will be creating a PowerPoint presentation of success. I feel tremendous joy. Thank you Dr. Berg for your wisdom.
I started keto because I got a tooth pulled and put my body into ketosis without trying so I stuck with it haha! Now I’m down over 70lbs and cooking food to show on TH-cam! Idk what my life’s become my whole life has changed hahaha. GOODLUCK y’all!
Glad to hear about Intermittent Fasting. I'm a retired lady who recently became diabetic. The Dr insists I need to follow the standard diabetic diet- eating 6-8 meals a day. I only eat when I'm hungry-2x a day. I believe my body will tell me when it's hungry just like when it's tired or whatever. So, I was a good little patient and did as I was instructed. That leads to taking insulin, swollen feet, and barely able walk. Enough of that, no more insulin the water retention is going away, I only eat when hungry. My glucose numbers are improving. And I feel better not to mention I am losing weight.
Same thing happened to me. I started IF list weight and do not take fast acting insulin anymore! I am starting to think the standard diabetic practices from health care are only supporting pharmaceutical company's and almost killed me with meds. Diabetes caused heart issues, diabetic retinopathy if I would have done IF or OMAD in 1989 instead of diabetic clinics I just wonder if I could have prevented all the health issues I have now??.
I’m 55 and was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes 6 months ago. I started listening to Dr Berg and have reversed my Diabetes, I have lost 40 lbs, I’m off my statins and thank God I turned my Diabetes around before they put me on Metformin. My knee arthritis has all but disappeared too! My Diabetes coach also told me to eat a lot of small meals too. Why do they try tell us to do the opposite of what really works?? It’s almost like they want people to stay sick!!!
Hi there! Are you type 1 diabetic and insulin dependent? I am and take the fast acting insulin at meals and the long lasting insulin. Been leaving so many comments on Dr. Berg’s videos for advice on being keto and an insulin dependent diabetic. I’m guessing it works but we just have to take less insulin or else our sugar will go too low and cause us to have to eat sugar to bring it up which is not what we want. Would love advice from fellow diabetic like me who has tried this. I already am on a low carb diet, barely eat any refined carbs, no added sugar, only eat blueberries as my fruit and like only 1 ounce at a time, mostly I eat veggies, healthy fats and proteins. Thanks in advance is anyone sees this comment and offers advice!❤
Hi. I thought Id share my experience. Best thing is that even if you fail keto, like me, you still cut out alot of carbs and sugar and will lose weight anyways. It gets easier because the carb addiction is getting less and less each week. For me, i empty my fridge of everything except vegetables and chicken because the craving will come and you’ll be scavenging for any snack. I jog at the gym almost every day so i feel less hungry because then the body is busy rebuilding that rather than just sending eat signals.
Same. I watched the videos from Dr. Ken D Berry, Dr. Eric Berg and Thomas DeLauer. The two doctors are consistent in their message. DeLauer says to eat dairy (Greek yogurt) in his beginner‘s plan, but in another video says not two for the first two weeks. He also mentions eating lean meats for lunch. The doctors call for more fat. Then we have the breakfast debacle. Two say to eat breakfast, while one says not to. I’m going to go with the breakfast but slowly phase it out. Of course this is all learn as you go and adjust fire to meat (haha) your body’s needs.
February will be 2 years on healthy Keto for me. Best decision I ever made. Got a buddy on it 4 months ago and he’s lost 40 lbs, quit drinking, quit smoking and he feels amazing. This stuff works and Dr Berg is the best. Dig deeper into his thousands of videos if you really wanna learn the nuances of Keto. Merry Christmas everyone! Let’s hope for a better year in 2021🙌
Hi, I am 4 month In keto for prediabetes with no medicine, but I am to skinny, 105 pounds and 5'1" tall, I am 51. I don't want lose more weight, I wonder when I am going to stop to lose weight.
Ive recently started following the ketogenic diet with the *HyperKeto* plan, and I have to admit, Im seeing some impressive results! Energy all day long, and the fat is melting away.
2 years ago I lost 110 lbs thanks to the doctor. Last year I had a car accident and gained around 30 lbs. Saturday I was 215 and decided to begin my clean eating habits again. I'm into a 72 hours fast , lost almost 10 lbs. It's amazing how much glycogen is storage into our body. Thanks Doc. Begin the meal plan tomorrow.
@@rawwoodgifts8117 I don't have Facebook. But if you me his email or if he responds I will be more than glad. I have pictures of all stages of my program.
That hospital food will kill you. More cancer patients also survive if they DONT eat the hospital food but just fast. Unfortunately they are stubborn and do what the misinformed "doctors" tell them.
36 lbs down in 3 months and still going! This really works! And I feel great! I never feel deprived. I don't have crazy cravings. My mood is more even. I love it!
@@onlyinmanchester3309 I've tried keto several times but the constipation and nausea/stomach upset makes me quit all the time. It makes me wonder: it can't be good if it makes me sick 🤔
Yeah totally agree! I haven't tried going keto but just cutting out 90% of my sugars and 75% of my carbs went from 192.5 to 163.5 but after a year got tired of eating salad and started eating my gummy bears again! Now at 177 trying to get back on track! And now writing this, I'm motivated for salad tonight! I also like that Dr. Berg only lives 40 minutes from me! TC in Annapolis, Maryland
Thanks a lot I did this for four days and I’ve lost like 5kilograms. Then I stopped and did not gain weight. And Today I’m on my second day, second time doing it. I want to try for a week , and hopefully for two weeks soon 💪🏼
Week 9 on Keto + intermittent fasting, lost 38lbs so far and I'm still losing weight. I usually eat 2 meals a day between 12 and 6pm, omad on weekends if I'm staying busy. This combination works like magic, the weight just melts off of you.
@@rawwoodgifts8117 I have coffee in the morning with a little cream. Around 1230pm I have lunch, usually salad with olives and tomatoes in it, plus home made dressing using olive oil, either balsamic or apple cider vinegar and a little dijon mustard. Along with the salad I have something else like a homemade soup made with chicken thighs, tomato, ginger, onion, spinach and bone broth. Dinner is usually around 545pm and I'll have a little fatty protein like Salmon, grass fed beef or eggs along with more veggies or an avocado. I drink lemon water throughout the day and occasionally a little scotch at night. That's it! I will say that I make everything I eat myself, no processed food anywhere in my diet. I think this is key because you know what you're eating, no hidden garbage. Also since writing I'm now down 51 lbs and wearing 34 waist jeans for the first time since I was 20 years old. People ask me when I'll stop dieting and I say never, it's not a diet, it's a lifestyle. I will settle at a weight at some point but it's up to my body to decide what weight that is. Try it for 30 days, you won't ever go back to junk food after feeling as good as you'll be feeling. Best of luck!
@@shaneg0070 i thought the creamer in the coffee would break your fast though? 🤔 I've been IF and just having plain black coffee in the morning 😵 but I can't go without my coffee, lol. Congrats on your success and thank you for sharing!
Definitely works! I'm down four sizes since last August and I lost most of my weight within 4 months of doing Dr Berg's recommendations! I feel better than I have in years! Love this man!

And meat i have just chiken. Don ' t like fat meat or fat food. I have 58/59 kg for 5.4 foot. Kind regard.
@@zinastanescu Follow his videos to know what to eat. Choose from the lists he gives on his videos of suggested healthy Keto foods. He does say not to forego fat. You need to eat fat so your body will burn fat rather than sugar. That's the only way you'll lose weight. Choose nuts and cheese or fish if you don't like red meat. All the best!
Congrats Sherril. I've tried and failed at Keto several times. Please can you give me an idea of what kind of meals are your staple w/ keto? I struggle because I have to cook for the whole family, and they all want their carbs because they dont have weight or health issues thank God. I really want to get serious now, but what's holding me back is having enough variety in my diet. I dont want to be eating the same ol' limited choice of meals every day while I'm cooking chicken biryani and lasagne for the family :(
Best "diet " advice I ever got was when my nephew text me and said "listen to Dr. Berg." With diabetes rampant in my family ,I appreciate the insight and facts to give me the tools I need to stay healthy! I have learned so much.
I just love your quiet, confident knowledgeable manner. No pushing stuff. You give us the facts that are easy to understand and manageable. I also love the way you give us the pros and cons of everything in an unbiased manner and then leave it up to us as what we do with the information. Its so refreshing. Jo xx
I’m at 230 in weight and 5’5 height. My goal is at 160 in weight. My Journey starts tomorrow on Keto. I’m hoping I have the strength to pull this off. I will be back in 3 months to tell my results
Good luck. I’ve just come across the channel and although I never followed Keto I can guarantee that if you cut out all processed foods for starters you will definitely restore your gut bacteria and rebalance your gut biome.. this will help you digest properly and feed you in the right way to bring health back to your body. I would also recommend that you examine your faeces at the start and then again three months later you will see a massive difference. Once you are healthy you can use this examination as an early warning sign that something is amis in your digestion once you know what is normal for you
I just started too. I'm "cheating" because I don't want to find myself giving up because I feel like I am hungry too often. So my eating window is 8 hours (and I still have a snack if it gets too bad), then I'll gradually cut down to 6 or less hours. I also started out still having a few carbs (mostly so I don't have to throw them out), but those are done now. Keep in mind this is not a fad diet, it is a complete lifestyle change, you'll have to do this forever. I have 50 pounds to lose and keep off.
My father has been diabetic for the last 30 years. In the last year I became his cargiver due to his Parkinsons and lack of mobility from surgeries on his knees, hips and neck. In that time it has always been a battle to get him to not continuously snack, let alone eat healthy. His blood sugar has ranged anywhere from 250 to 400 on a daily basis even with his glimmepride and multiple doses of insulin a day. After watching your video I convinced my parents to let me start making them a keto diet just for the the short term. In the last three days, his sugar levels have gone from an average of 285 to an average of 125 and he's also lost 7 lbs. They both enjoy the food, and since its actually fulfilling, no one goes back to the fridge in the middle of the night for snacks. My father was eating himself to death and you gave me the tools to not only save him but to help him thrive! I will always be grateful for the information you taught me. My father would not have had too long left if it weren't for you.
Wow! In 2.5 months I have lost 38 pounds. I can see my abs instead of flabs. I feel great, and I love the food that I eat. I'm never hungry and my mood is incredibly stable. Thank you Dr. Berg, you're the doctor I aspire to be.

@@Drberg yo where's the consultant number? i got questions i initially thought if i cut out grains and ate 6oz meat a day with a chicken salad at evening and a chard wrap burger for breakfast everyday i'd be fine. 6 weeks later i was feeling subtle acute chest pains. any idea why? so i stopped eating meat again and the chest pangs stopped. then i started doing more research. discovered i ate a lot of berries, kombucha tea and coconut water which all add to the lvl of sugar in the blood! LOL but y'all say berries are fine. just no fruit. is there really a difference? what about grease? i used to warm up my bone broth in the grease from the chicken the night b4. isn't grease liquid fat? how is ghee any different?? the other documentaries claimed that saturated fat, i.e. cholesterol levels, don't matter and have NOTHING at all to do with the cholesterol buildup inside blood vessels. they say that those accumulations are derived from high carb high sugar diets w/o explaining how or why. ... questions... QUESTIONS THAT NEED ANSWERING!!! gratsi
@@pangorbalm8086 I heard him say to eat berries, but you have to be very careful as to how many carbs you're getting from them. Obviously it's not a free for all.
@@pangorbalm8086 I think every meat is not good for everyone, just eat what's making your body feel good, I prefer turkey, chicken or seafood, meat always fresh, once I put it in the freezer it's no longer good for my stomach. Try it out for you and find your comfy food. 😊
Keto was a scary endeavor for me. I had coworkers on keto. When they explained the rules and frequency to eat, I was overwhelmed. Decided their plan was not for me. Stumbled upon this researching how to cure fatty liver. After listening to his plan, decided to give it a try. Price is right,free, and do not need to buy anything. I am hooked. Just did my first 2 day fast. Key is to eat your salad and pick a fatty meat. At first I used as much olive oil and vinegar as desired with salt and pepper on salad. I also ate as much meat as desired. I suffer from from leg cramps. Bought the electrolytes drink and Do sea salt.. works,, no leg cramps.. After watching more shows, decided to cut back olive oil to 1 tblsp and limit meat to 3 to 4 oz, so my body burns off body fat rather than food fat. Since this is my decision, not bad at all, plus it makes sense. We implemented 1 hour of walking every other day for exercise. Allows me to rest my back for next walking session. I started with 2 meals because I was not hungry for breakfast. After 3 to 4 days, I felt different with lessened hungry pains. Hunger went away,, this is how I know I'm in ketosis.. Just stayed on track and found myself in ketosis. I was able to naturally transition to one meal a day. I selected an early dinner 3 to 4 pm. I have a husband not interested in keto. He prefers to eat all 3 meals and this allowed us to eat together once a day. If he ate out and I didn't want to eat, I had a glass of water or cup of coffee with half and half. Satisfies him,, because he has my company.. About 3 weeks into the process, I felt confident to try fasting for 2 days. Success, I did my first 2 day fast. Now, I am going to fast Saturdays and Sundays, then eat 1 meal a day Monday thru Friday. This is the easiest thing I have ever done. By the way, my husband and I had a pact to limit ice cream to once a month. Well, that event came up. I was a wreck I would fall off keto and not able to start again. We went and had the ice cream together. Little shaky at first, but I persevered and got back on keto the next meal which was the next day.. my body easily transitioned into keto than I could if following an another eating plan. I am back and feel great again. Do not advise testing the waters with foods outside of keto. Leaves you feeling lousy, no reward with that one. If you desire of a taste of ice milk,, try half and half with Splenda instead, then let it go,go, you can get back to write your success story. Next month is his birthday. I am going to suggest to go somewhere where he can get his treat and i can eat keto. We rv because we are retired. I may fast while we travel, so I don't have to worry about food choices. Will lengthen fasts more before we travel to test how I feel. If you haven't tried keto, try, you may be surprised. Don't force the next steps, just allow your body to naturally transition. Thank you for reading. Wish I found this 20 years ago. Would have saved me months and months of dieting and thousands of dollars.
No more once a month ice cream for me. My lactose sensitivity acted up from bite throughout digestion process. Does not break my heart. Ketosis feels better and makes me happier..
Wow thanks for the detailed breakdown about your keto journey and insights. Appreciate it. I lost heaps of weight(6kg/13 pounds) and 10 cms around my waist in the first week. Nothing in the second and third week and starting to put a few grams on in my 4th. Left scratching my head I'm doing one, or multiple, things wrong. The positive side effects of no cravings and hunger, better sleep and amazingly clear skin for the first time since I was 12 years old. I'm 50 this year and my adult acne was the worst in my life. On my neck especially and I was never a day spot free but now I've only had one in 4 weeks! It is literally a miracle in my eyes. For those reasons alone it's worth persevering ❤
Keto absolutely works. I was eating two meals a day, reduced down to 1. You don't feel hungry after a while. It's hard at first but if you keep disciplined and do it correctly, the weight drops off. It took two weeks for my body to get used to it, then I saw the weight loss. I could never get beyond my plateau weight. I did with this diet.
Do we really have to skip breakfast? My father had to have surgery because he skipped breakfast so often a hole was burned in his stomach by the acids. I'm afraid that may happen to me if i follow that bit of advice. Can I just drink green tea or something instead?
@@just_a_person_15 u don't really have to. Just don't eat unless you're hungry and eat until you feel full then stop don't fill up too much or force yourself to eat and do the intermittent fasting
Lol you wont burn a hole in your stomach. That morning stomach pain from not eating is because youve conditioned your body the wrong way your entire life. Its gonna be painful to transition into the correct routine.
I just want to add. Keto helped me with my pain relief. I have an inflammatory condition. So not eating sugar or carbs reduced my flare ups and inflammation a lot. Plus you have a lot more energy. It takes a while to get there but if you stick to it and be totally disciplined. It definitely works.
Been off carbs for 4 days now. Haven’t seen a difference yet in body comp as I’m less than 100 hours in but I’m astounded by the mental clarity and how even my energy levels feel. Even if I don’t drop the weight quickly the complete lack of brain fog and energy crashes alone is worth it! Stay strong and praying everyone here reaches their goals!
I'm not full keto but I reduced my carbs significantly and replaced them with healthy fats (EVO, Avacados/oil, nuts, etc), and I feel soooo good. Haven't felt this great in years. This channel is a MUST see for anyone looking to become healthier.
This video is so helpful and so is your comment! I don’t know if I can go full keto but I am inspired by your comment to make some significant nutritional lifestyle changes and reduce my carb intake.
@fairyffine Thank you, fairyffine! It makes complete sense when you said "food should serve you, not the other way". Watching Dr Berg's channel and reading comments from his community have been super- so informative and supportive. Here's to better health!
I have tried so many different keto diet programs in the past, but nothing has ever worked for me. I feel like I am always hungry and my cravings are out of control. I started using HyperKeto a few months ago and it's made keto easy, sustainable, & even enjoyable! The food is high quality and there are no restrictions on what you
I have been following a Keto diet for two years. I didn't start it for weight loss, as I was happy with my weight; I began it to lead a healthier life. After adopting a keto diet, I noticed a significant increase in my energy levels-I now feel energized throughout the day, a change from before. Additionally, this diet helped me realize that I have a gluten sensitivity. While I don't have Celiac disease, I was experiencing significant bloating and stomach upset, which were also affecting my mental health. Moreover, my skin has become more radiant than before. Overall, since starting this diet, I have become much healthier and have stopped relying on drugs and extra vitamins.
A big thanks to you Dr. Eric , for teaching us those things that we cannot learn anywhere else. I come from Greece and I was always a fat kid , and all my life was struggling with my weight. At my 18yo i decided to do the normal 5 meal diet + gym and to be honest it worked . So in one year i lost around 40 kilos (from 112 went to 72) . But the hard part was to keep it (its very hard for me to be with the clock all time and have always something around to eat) and God that hunger i remember it until today. So between my 18yo and 25yo it was gain and loose all the time , until i gave up and said , "thats enough , i dont want to be hungry anymore." So now at my 38yo I weighted 166 kilos and everything became very hard. I take 2 pills a day for blood pressure and the smallest distance i walk im out of breath. I was watching videos of dr Eric and other ppl on youtube talking about keto and IF and said to try it. The results were amazing. First week i lost 5 kilos and next week another 5. I already feel the difference since im more active , sleep better , fog and that feeling of being always tired gone and most important not hungry. The first 3 days were hard and I had sugar cravings , so i bought a six pack of cola light to quench my sweet tooth. After 3 days that left also and now i dont even want to drink that diet cola since its not the most healthy drink in the world. But the most important was today . I went for a walk with my family and i didnt run out of breath. Small things for normal people but for me it is an achievement. So to all the ppl out there who hesitate to do this diet , I suggest to start today.
Hello, Hope you are well. Just wanted to share my journey so far. I was at my heaviest at over 105kg (230 pounds) in January this year. I stumbled on Dr Berg while researching about gout. Having tried many approaches to loose weight with little or no improvement. We started Keto and IF late January and I am now under 95kg (210 pounds). Additionally, I went to see my doctor to discuss my pathology report this week. I asked him how he was, and he replied "everything is perfect". I did not realise that he was referring to my report! Thank you!!
That's amazing! Congratulations! I will share this with Dr. Berg! If you’ve benefited from Dr. Berg’s program or content in any way, we’d love to hear your success story! If you would like to share it, please use this link: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story Dr. Berg's Support Team.
I have done this diet for 10 days. My partner noticed a difference in my breathing within 3 days. It has also helped my stools, thigh cramps, mental health, especially concentration. Focusing better, and losing weight, so 5 ways so far. I have no doubt it will lower BP and LDL cholesterol once I am in keto mode next Thursday. Thanks for your help. I have said this to help others.
I have been doing intermediate fasting omad for over a month. I cannot believe how much better I feel. I have lost weight I have so much more energy and it actually has taken a lot of my arthritic pain away in my hands that might have been something that was going on in my previous diet, but what a relief not to have the pain. Thank you and I enjoy your videos keep up the good work!
After binge-watching your videos for months I'm coming back for a refresher course. Sometimes we fall off the wagon but we always have to pick ourselves up and try again
I love food and travel. I travel to eat and to cook. I am still very healthy. I follow a Mediterranean style diet with lots of seafood, chicken, olive oils, cheese,and vegetables. I still eat bread pasta and rice but in small amounts. I am in my sixties and get lots of exercise by walking gardening and cycling. I think a balanced lifestyle is the most important thing and to have a great social life.
Ok. Just for fun, would you try have No carbs (except leafy vegetables) for 3 weeks? Just organic fats (including plenty of avocados) and high quality eggs or meat/fish? Just to see what happens 😁?
I eat a lot of sugar but i compensate it with having a healthy outlook in life by trying to always find joy and happiness in every little thing and i do have several chatrooms during this lockdown that we get to make fun of one another as we reminisce our elementary/high schoold days/crushes. I also have a circle of Christian friends and we meet every other Friday to study the Bible and draw strength and be inspired of each other's testimonies of God's goodness amidst this pandemic.
👍🏼 Joe, I’m at my goal and I understand what you’re saying. Food and eating is more than just nourishment. The key is small amounts of bread, pasta & rice, as you said. Some people can’t stop themselves with a small amount and it seems like it’s all or nothing. Then you have to take a more rigid approach and skip the little treats. It’s a journey and we figure it out as we go.
Your a legend 👍 I was 147 kg did keto ( not as pure as u might want to ) but still got immensely proud results inflammation wner away no more gas no more belly bloating no more headaches & way more attentive at things . Now im standing at 105 kg after successfull 8 months & still going strong. Thankyou again
Just said I'd add my story/progression. Watched this video 6 weeks ago and I'm down 36.5lbs. I'm male, 40, 5.8 and got to 285.3 at my heaviest. I'm sticking pretty close to what is said. (Week 1, -10.1lbs) (Week 2, -7.2lbs), (Week 3, -5.2lbs), (Week 4, -4.8lbs) (Week 5, -1.8lbs) and (Week 6, -7.4lbs). I'm feeling great and want to get back down to about 190lbs, when I did weight lifting and some sports. Anyone that has questions, please ask. It has been challenging but nowhere near as much as I thought. I do have 1 take-away meal a week but having that keeps me grounded..I feel. 30min walk in the morning & 30 in the evening. Some chest exercises. Lunch & dinner. that's really it. Thank you Dr. Berg for making a video that was so helpful and easy to understand. Michael - Ireland. 24th November 2023 Just a quick update. I hit 185lbs today. That's 100lbs in 6 months. I feel great. Thinking of doing a video to discuss my journey. Again, thanks Dr. Berg for your advice. :)
Wonderful results - congratulations! Would you mind sharing a few ideas on meals you have each day, please? Thank you. All, what do you eat at your take away meal each week. Thank you.
@@susanarcher3353 Hello Susan. Most days I stick to the same lunch / dinner combo. Lunch would be 4 eggs, cheese, chicken/ham, peppers, cucumber. I make that into either scrabbled eggs or an omelette. Some fruit like raspberries, strawberries or blueberries with a cup of tea. Dinner is usually either chicken/steak/fish/bacon with vegetables. Usually broccoli and cauliflower. Drink is water with a splash of cordial. The take-away is always a chicken box from a local shop. 3 pieces of southern fried chicken with home made style chips (fries). That's it. Hope it is informative.🙂
@@marcschoenfeld Well done on getting past Week 1. I'm now at the end of Week 9. I think I get what you mean. Even though I eat veg like cauliflower, I find the opposite. I drink adequate water etc but I'm not a loose as I would like. Might need to eat more nuts etc.
As I was growing up, I never wanted to eat breakfast. I was thin and people always asked me how I did it and I just thought I was lucky. Now in my 60’s, I’m overweight (for me) at 136, 5’4” and feel sluggish with gut problems (probably fatty liver). I decided this week to go back to intermittent fasting as I’ve been successful with it in the past. I’m trying to eat in a 4 hour window but yesterday it was 5. I’m already sleeping better! My husband thinks I’m not being wise. I told him to look at the slim and trim Dr. Berg!
Well done for your persistence. You can make it! Have you checked Dr Berg's Facebook group? There are really lots of people showing their progresses with healthy keto and intermittent fasting ✨✨✨Anyone can see the truth for themselves.
@@donnat3958 it’s probably because of where she is carrying that weight. I’m 5’1 and i weigh 52kilo which is roughly 114 pounds and I’m considered healthy weight, but I hold quite abit of it in my belly area which means it’s unhealthy. I’m working on it though ☺️
@@mint_soup9743 we were told it was the most important meal of the day because of advertising/branding by the Kellog family many years ago. We were trained.
Best explanation of Keto that I've come across. I've recently gone down to one evening meal per day, drinking a lot of tea, very occasional small snacks just to keep pangs of hunger away, and I feel so much better as a result. I don't sleep during the day like I used to (digesting food), I don't feel that my guts are clogged up with food, and I have much more energy.
I want to thank you Dr for sharing your knowledge with us. We spend half of our lives in schools, college and universities. We pay thousands of dollars for our education. Yet, we are not given any information about living a healthy life or any information about finances. I feel uneducated after having a degree. So thanks for your contribution to humanity. Could you show us what you eat in a day and in a week please.
I'm feeling so good. I've lost 17kg in 12 weeks. I'm finding only eating two meals a day easy and I'm starting to only eat one meal. The video's are so very informative and explain keto so clearly. Highly recommend those wanting to do or are on keto to watch Dr Bergs video's
This is fascinating. I was told my entire life that breakfast is very important. I listened to what my body told me instead and have coffee in the morning and often don't eat until three pm, then I eat again about 8 pm, and then don't eat again until the next day. About 90% of what you describe as the keto diet is what's normal for me and has been as long as I can remember, or at least it has become more and more normal as things that don't make me feel good to eat have dropped out---like anything with chemical preservatives or "flavor enhancers". So that makes me wonder if the keto diet is not some exceptional diet but the one that some people or most people should be eating? Thank you for another great video. I'm sure a lot of research and care has to go into them.
Breakfast can also be vegs, proteins and fats. Nobody forbids you to do it this way. Personally I prepare a soya milk cup with pure cacao powder, soluble bartley, cannella, curcuma and some integral oat flakes.
@@ontherun8 yes, but I don't eat breakfast because I am not hungry until much later in the day. I am almost 61 years old, I am five foot ten inches tall and weigh 158 pounds. Thats a BMI of 21 or 22 per cent, which is just fine. That's what I mean by listening to what my body tells me. It doesn't mean I will never be prone to any illness, only that I am not likely to have problems with blood sugar or obesity, which are common problems for quite a few men of my age.
The 'breakfast is the most important meal of the day' started as a slogan for Corn Flakes... & here we are in 2023... most still believing it's true. Lol. Talk about mind control.
Am 27 , i stared 8 weeks ago , was 109 kg, let week i was 97 kg, monday i have to weight again because i do every 2 weeks, it works and it’s amazing, i quit alcohol and bad habits. Dr Berg Thank you 🙏
started this diet June 2021 at 260 lbs with blood sugar of 126 fasting and A1C of 6.6, May 2022 210lbs with a blood sugar of 102 and an A1C of 5.7, and im still in the fight. Rock on every one.
Watching these videos along with intermittent fasting....in just under a year i lost 40kg...not only did i feel amazing by losing the weight I also learned to maintain it and not gain over the xmas holidays..... Now i do 24hr fasts but I switch the times all the time so my body doesnt get complacent... Love this lifestyle.
Wow I’ve never watched a whole video on keto because I was never as invested,because the people weren’t explaining the way I would comprehend, but you sir have explained it to me beautifully I can actually understand everything. Now I’m not confused on how this will work for me.
@@Drberg is it ok if I only eat in the morning (breakfast time) within a 1 hour window? Eating in the other times (lunch/breakfast) makes me feel a bit uneasy and I’ve been eating only in the morning cutting out sugars for 2 months now and I feel amazing. The “skipping breakfast” part had me confused.
One thing to keep in mind is you need fat not lean meat. The meat industry is pushing lean meat. The fatty meat keeps you from snacking and is satisfying.
You seem to be actually fulfilling your gift in teaching others…I suggest that’s what you came here for. Tremendously good karma/soul work. You’re appreciated, deeply.
I finally started following these guidelines 5 days ago. I’m already 8lbs lighter, feeling more alert and far less bloated. Hopefully I keep this going, lose the extra 30 lbs and make this a new way of life. Consuming a whole lemon a day is not enjoyable but it’s great to feel so clean and energised after pulping it up and knocking it back in one.
2 days to enter ketosis, 2 weeks to kick sugar addiction, 1 month to see really good results, 2 more weeks after that to reach my goal weight and never felt better. I dont weigh myself, but im pretty sure i started around 140 and finished at 125 age 27. It works really well👍
Just starting this journey. Years on Atorvastatin, levothyroxine, sertraline....my blood work is now screaming High LDL, elevated A1C and blood pressure is now in first stages of hypertension....130s over high 80s. Consulting with our clinics health coach and watching here. I am excited to learn and change my diet and improve my health!!!
I like to eat a big salad that I top with my protein - a tin of salmon, or chicken and bacon and cheese. Love fresh grated Parmesan with the salmon on my salad. Plus, I make my own salad dressing with olive oil.
I love veggies so much!! More than meat or fat. I love to grow them and know I’m eating truly organic. I hate when people tell me I have to stop eating veggies because “carbs”. I’m glad you support eating veggies on keto!!
I found this video very helpful! I started dieting a month ago. I've done it not perfectly as I still had fear of fats. Now I see what I should consume without any harm to my body. My diet has been based on meat, fat, veggies, and fruit. No carbs at all. Have lost 4 kg in a month. With this information, I'll do even better. I don't have those cravings any more. Other effects include reduced anxiety and heightened energy levels.
I'm on IF 20/4+Keto for a 2 months. I lost 12 kg already. I feel so good and full of energy. So so grateful, i found Dr. Berg. I feel AWAKE and free from a food addiction!
So I only discovered all of this at end of November. I started keto like first week of December. In between that I went on holiday and had a few cheat meals I couldn’t resist since I was in Ghana where my parents are from! I have still managed to lose 4kg considering the fact that my weight wasn’t budging for a while. I have had ibs for as long as I could remember and I no longer have any gut issues. My energy levels have improved as I take the Dr Berg electrolytes too. Just want to say a huge thank you Dr Berg. I remember coming here for the first time and reading all the testimonials in the comments and I never thought I would be one of them! God bless x
Why is it that celebrities and influencers gain so much attention, while truly valuable content like yours often goes unnoticed? I'm 55 and have been battling pre-diabetes for about two years. I stumbled upon your videos by chance, and I can't thank you enough. Your clear, insightful explanations have made me realize the dangers lurking in so many of the foods we consume daily. It's eye-opening to learn how sugar can be just as addictive as illegal drugs. I want to be healthy for myself and my grandkids, and if that means cutting out snacks and sugar, I'm fully committed. Thank you for your invaluable advice-your videos should be essential viewing for everyone.
That’s perfect! Such a nice, healthy gradual loss. I hate when people brag about going crazy extreme because that’s not sustainable. I hope you’re near your goal now, four months later.
I have toyed with trying keto for about 6 months now and finally decided to give it a go, starting last Sunday. I have lost 10 lbs in my first week.... Amazing!! (I was 189lbs to start, at 5ft 7ins). I am lucky in that I love veggies and keto friendly foods, but I was most surprised by the fact that I feel full and haven't missed highly processed carbs at all. Measuring my glucose levels, I am not in ketosis as yet, but I am sticking with it. To Dr. Berg, thanks for the informative videos and to everybody who comments, thanks for the inspiration to finally give it a go. Cheers!
Just wanted to say thank you Dr Berg. I finally managed to stay on a diet and no longer crave cakes, chocolate and bread. I lost 20kg in 1.5 years with keto and intermittent fasting. And i can still concentrate at work (no more brain fog) which was another reason for stopping previous diets. 9 more kg to be a super-model, but it feels easy to do. So a big thank you! Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year!
As I'm writing this message today is Monday 08/08/2022 I'm 35 and I weight 109,40 Kg and I'm going to start KETO for loosing weight (my ideal weight is 90 Kg). Let's see how far my determination will lead me in the next three months. Please wish me luck!
Well Dr. Berg, two years ago I followed your guidance and lost 65 pounds. I still intermittent fast easily but when I eat, I break keto rules. I've added 20 pounds and arthritis to my original success. So, I'm back to looking at your basic video and remind myself why I was here to begin with. I was working then, and now I am retired. I think I can jump back, knowing so much more now. Starting today and I'm so glad tomorrow is trash day. They'll be collecting a few things from me that shouldn't be in this house!
Thank you for this post! I want to start - interesting that breakfast means failure - that has always been true of me. I'm going to keep listening to Dr. Berg and follow his rules.
@@Msseminole its because its the carb to fiber ratio that matters not the total carbs.. fiber cancels out the carbs.. Carbs in vegetables are not required to be counted
Me personally, I started losing the most weight after reading the book Woman’s weight loss secrets: the unspoken truth, a few things you are mentioning in this video are also in the book
I fell of the keto diet mid 2018 and completely off in 2019 because of old trauma and depression. However I'm back here and I'm so grateful I have Dr Burg back to re educate me! Hello everyone hehe x
I started watching these videos and practicing keto 8 weeks ago.I practice intermiitent fasting as Doctor Berg explained and am 52 and have lost 11 kilograms or just over 24 pounds in this time.I have made a point of walking for roughly 1 hour daily and i do have a cup of coffee with a bit of cream during my fast.Thankyou for explaining this in a way that makes perfect sense and is easy to follow.
my bf suggested intermittent fasting and he was following Dr.Berg, the first thing that came out of my mouth was "breakfast is the most important bleh bleh" for the past two years I have been doing intermittent fasting without keto combined with weight training. My hairfall reduced, i was energetic throughout the day, lost weight, more calmer than I was. Thanks a lot for changing so many of our lives, Dr.Berg!
You started me three and a half years ago when I turned to TH-cam in search of weight loss motivation. I found you instead. Through your videos on IF & keto, fat quickly fell off, and I will never stop this lifestyle. Thank you.
I am fasting in the Holy month of Ramadan, Trying to fit in your KETO with my diet to avoid prostate problems. Fasting really helps and relief the symptoms.
Just for people's information, it's three years later and that number is still live. Just had a wonderful, informative and very encouraging conversation with Paulette and am looking forward to the next step in this adventure.
Glad to hear that! Would you like to send your story here: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story We'd love to hear more of your journey to health! -Dr. Berg's support team
I started at 310, dropped down to 220!! Only 6 months. Gained back up to 270, gonna start tomorrow. Gonna try to do it again till June wish me luck guys
Listen to this man , especially if you are an overweight, middle-aged man, which I am.... It is truly amazing way to lose weight. I'm 6'3" and weighed well over +20 stone Jan 1st 2022. I have never dieterd in my life but just knew I had to do something - so I chose this diet . I'm on 16: 8 meals, skip breakfast, I eat my big meal at 11am , no snacks, plenty of water, 2nd meal 7pm . NO BEER OR WINE. In 4 weeks, 28th Jan - I lost 18lbs!! I was gobsmacked....... gonna stick to it and hopefully by April I will have lost my (1st) Target weight loss onf 50lbs!!
I'm a traditional Naturopath and love your concise and practical explanations of melding Keto and my blood type O diet. I am new to intermittent fasting, but willing to do it as I reset my metabolism this spring!
...as a new Catholic I was googling around to try and find tips on how to fast intelligently...thanks to your clear information, Dr. Berg, I have now been on this keto plan for about one month now...I have already lost my baby fat and feel much more awake and healthy...also my chronic joint pain seems to have left (the coming winter will help me assess this better)...thank you so much Dr. Berg...I hope you and your family are well and thriving...
I’ve done consistent Keto since 2017 and wanted to review. Great video Doc! I lost 60lbs and was able to get off bp meds and a statin. I’m 66 and was getting joint pain due to inflammation and that is gone.
I would like to say, "Thank you, Dr. Berg"!!! This is the truth: I love how you present all of the information in your videos with such compassion! Honestly, I began having serious issues with my liver. I started feeling depressed, worried, and sick until I came across You. I began to follow exactly what you said regarding the Ketogenic Diet and Intermittent fasting, and within THREE DAYS ( I can't believe it) I bounced back, for real! The edema in my legs and feet went away, I lost about one pound, began to urinate regularly, my mood and energy levels elevated, and I am no longer afraid. I have been wheelchair-bound my entire life and raising my precious 10-year-old Grandaughter, so I MUST be in the best shape possible. Again, thank you for providing this Gift to us all!! One more comment: You should visit Denver, CO.! We would definitely embrace you here in the Rocky Mountains!!! -Sincerely, Paulina B.
Started keto April of 2018 and combined it with intermittent fasting as well as eating whole foods a majority of the time so minimal processing. Went from 206 to 139 by 2020... excited to transition back to that lifestyle. The energy is no joke while on keto...I swear by it... but keep it clean.
Congratulations on your results! Would love to know more about your journey. Please share your success story with me by using this link! 👉 www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story
For those who are watching this video for the first time - because you are fed up with being overweight - I just want to share that I have been doing a Keto diet for less than four months now and have lost 50lbs. I combine Keto with Intermittent Fasting (18 off/6 on). I eat two meals in that 6hr window - no snacking. I walk every morning. The toughest part to manage when you start is your brain telling you to grab a snack. You get plenty of fat, protein, and vitamins from the keto-friendly food you prepare. You're not going to starve - despite what your sneaky brain will try to tell you. Your enemy is the impulsive cravings that are bolstered by old habits. Prepare only good food. Manage the impulse eating. Adhere to your feeding window. Don't cheat. ....oh yeah ...and watch Dr. Bergs videos. Extremely helpful. You can do this. I did.
I agree! Thanks for posting this.
Did you or are you counting your calories?? How much and long are your walks??
@@REY-RUM : Honestly, the FASTING aspect is the CRITICAL piece in losing weight. You can run / walk all you want but if you're still dumping calories after and thinking "oh I'll burn that off by running or walking longer..." Nope doesn't work. Just walk to get some kind of activity to rev up your system and your physiology. But the TYPE of FOOD and the FASTING is what will make the biggest impact. You can do alot in 12 to 16 hours start there.
Motivating! Thanks!
@@REY-RUM I'm not counting calories, I'm just just paying attention to my portion size and making sure that I have a good balance of fats, veggies and proteins in each meal. I walk a mile a day.
January 2022 was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Learning and practicing a lifestyle that helps my pancreas and I am still here and feeling good.
How’s it going?
Good afternoon, can you please, tell me we’re you diagnosed while following ketogenic lifestyle?
Dr berg interviewed someone with stage 4 cancer that reversed the cancer with fasting for 45 days....hope this helps
@@donnasteinman9515 someone with stage 4 cancer also used blackseed and healed, mashallah
Well done...💜
This guy is the man ! , listen and learn ! 200 lbs Nov 1st , 168 lbs now !
Congratulations! I hope to be there one day too! Not sure how big I am now but I got very big during my pregnancy
congratulations 40lbs lost = 8 cats off the tummy!
Congrats!! Which IF did you do? How many meals a day? I started nov. 23rd, lost 10 pounds.. you lost 32lbs in a month and 3 weeks! That’s awesome.. if you can share what you are doing...thanks!
That's awesome, Lee!
Nice
I wish that I would have taken before and after shots, but I was so ashamed of myself, I would never take pictures before. I went from 240 to 174 in less than 1 year. I have KEPT IT OFF for 2 years now. I really enjoy my morning jog, or bike ride, or walk, which I now do with a light backpack. I am slowly working up to ruck sports. I am 55 years old and in better shape than I was in my 40s. Dr. Berg has done all of the hard work for us. This is EASY thanks to Dr. Berg. Just keep his videos in que and go through them whenever you wonder if you are doing the right thing.
Update from 3 months ago - down 61lbs now, holding steady at 182!!!!! I feel amazing, and people say I look like I'm 30 years old (I'm 50). If anyone is on the fence about trying this lifestyle just give it 30 days and see how you feel. You will be amazed at the results. Keep in mind it's a LIFESTYLE and not a diet, that's the most important thing.
Well done. Really good for you. That is major weight loss. Can I ask, did you always eat a full 7 cups of vegetables?. This is what scares me about starting. I just can't picture having to eat that amount of veg. every day. Thank you, and may your success continue.
I have spent the last year on WW and managed to lose 38 pounds. I still need to lose another 20 and am hanging on by a thread with the counting points and low fat and always always hungry especially if I’m working out much which I do several times during the week. I’m trying to wrap my brain around this keto concept and it helps to read about people like you who have such amazing results from it especially the lifestyle vs diet point. I’ve been exploring keto and have been on the fence about it so this does help in making my decision. Thanks for sharing your amazing success.
@@HofB Congrats on your weight loss! I've been educating myself on nutrition since I started this and I've learned a few things. One important thing I've learned is that any diet telling you it's okay to eat pasta, bread, pizza, etc is clearly a company trying to make money. I've worked out my whole life in an effort to keep my weight at an acceptable level, eaten oatmeal and lean protein, low fat foods, etc. None of it worked! Six months on Keto and IF and I'm down 63lbs, plus I've worked out once since I started. I guess my message is to forget everything you've learned about diet and nutrition and start over with people like Dr Berg, Dr Jason Fung, Dr Sten Ekberg, the list goes on.
Best of luck!!
@@mbd6054 you can make it into a smoothie, dr. berg talks about his kale shake, that's probably 2c right there. when you juice or blend vegetables you get more cups of veggies for the actual cup you drink. you can also cut up veggies into the meat you have, like meatball, you can shred in carrot and onion and get another cup or two right with your meat. be creative!
@@servantrose Thank you very much. That all sounds far more manageable.
I am forever grateful for the day when your video randomly played 3 years ago after I searched weight loss! I followed your steps and it worked. I lost 120 lbs and I have maintained my weight loss for 2 years now. Thank you Dr. Berg!!
how? more details pls
Wow that’s amazing
Do you live on this?
How you have maintained this much weight for two years could you tell us please ?
🤦♀️ You clearly stated that you began following his steps three years ago. Why are people asking you what you did? SMH Good grief!
I am 5’10” and was 255lbs, I started this 7 days ago with a commitment two do it for two weeks. My weight is down to 242 already and I’m feeling better. To anyone trying this the first 3-4 days are the roughest with sugar cravings then they go away. Now I’m looking to extend it for another two weeks. Thank you Dr. Berg!
Wooow that amazing, ll u please share Ur diet ,h Ur exercise routine 🙏🙏🙏🙏 please please please ,it ll help me out
@@sweetyworld2167 I’ve watched a lot of Dr. Bergs videos. I started with intermittent fasting but I wasn’t loosing weight. But what it did do was it taught my body to not crave food all day. I basically trained my body with fasting. Some weeks I would not eat for 3 days sometimes dry fasting for a day or two and I would still not keep the weight off. Even though I was eating 1 meal a day. So I learned that the quality of that meal is very important and that sugar is the issue. I started to read ever label and ate absolutely zero sugars and low carbs. Then the weight just fell away. I do not have an exercise routine. I do some body weight training 2-3 times a day when I think about it. That consists of 30-60 pushups or squats or stretches. Then I go on with my day, I do not focus on exercise. Once I perfect my fasting and diet then I will add exercise. Exercise will not fix a bad diet. As far as what I eat. Every meal starts with a cabbage and kale salad and usually I make a fatty meat and put it on top of the salad instead of dressing. The best advice I can give you is to change your relationship with food. Most cultures use food to celebrate, this makes food enjoyable. Stop enjoying food, eat things you don’t like. Most people don’t like work but they still go to work. Look at food the same way. Look at food for its nutritional value not the taste. Also, think of why you drink liquids, you need water that’s all, so just drink a good clean filtered water. I hope this helps you reach your goals.
@@alpha9526 hi dear ,I didn't expected u reply to me ,but when I saw your reply I m so happy to read Ur comments, Ur advice is really great , I ll definitely follow that n thanks a ton ,I m damn sure it ll help me out I just wanted to reduce 30 kg within 3 months, so please if is there any other suggestions for me please don't hesitate to share with me , it ll help me a lot , n congratulations for your success , bye 🙏🙏🙏
@@sweetyworld2167 I’m glad my advice gave you something to think about. That is a lot of weight to lose quickly. Be safe about it, sit and feel what you body feels like, if your fasting and something just doesn’t feel right then eat something. I hope you reach your goal, take care of yourself.
@@alpha9526 thanks 😊😊❣️
Bullet point for my reference:
Low carbs, 2 meals a day
-Cut out ALL sugars (honey, agave nectar, brown/white sugar, etc.)
+Can replace sugars with sugar alchohols (
- Avoid fruit except berries in small amounts (raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries)
- Avoid Grains (breads, pasta, cereal, crackers)
+ Can replace with almond flour
- Avoid starches like potatoes
+ Can replace with cauliflour (cauliflour crust pizza)
Vegetables (7-10 cups a day) -eat 1st in a meal
+ Salads
+ Bell peppers, cabbage, broccoli, kale, brussel sprouts, carrots, tomatoes, beets, etc.
Protein (3-8oz maybe more if you are an athlete) -eat 2nd in a meal
+ Meat, Fish, Chicken, Seafood
+ Eggs
+ Cheese (don't go overboard)
+ Nuts -or- Nut butter (sugar free)
* Consume protein that has more fat
- Avoid whey protein powder bc it increases insulin levels
Fats -eat 3rd in a meal
+ Avocado
+ Butter (Use to cook or melt over vegetables)
+ Olive oil (can use on salads)
+ Coconut oil
- Avoid soy oil, corn oil, canola oil, cottonseed oil, sunflower oil (appear in salad dressings and mayo)
This is great, but berries apparently are tomatoes, avocado, eggplant, not strawberries and other fruits which has berries in name. This is very confusing. So what 'berries' to eat?
Thank you bro
Playing around with starting keto. I gave myself a challenge this weekend to replace a craving for "greystone Bakery" blondie with a keto substitute. I spent a good ~$50 buying keto friendly ingredients to make a replacement for a ~ $2.50 treat.
I am not willing to give up fruit longterm...maybe at the end of summer when my favorite fruits or out of season, I challenge myself to a month or so of full blown keto
The benefits I see in being keto minded this past two days is mindfulness about eating habits which could transition to mindfulness and discipline in other areas. For example. I am now more mindful about adequate veggie consumption. And portion control with fruits, sweets, and dessert.
If I ever get deeper into keto, it would be for the mental benefits more than the weight loss.
I am aware of the cognitive benefits of extended fasting, if keto can mimic that, well then...
do u think old fashioned oats are part of the no carbs?
@@e.d5454yes
6 weeks in and I'm down 30 lbs! The first 15 were gone in the first two weeks from the DRAMATIC loss of water weight that occurs when you stop eating all that sugary poison. The difference in the way I feel could only be compared to when I quit smoking and I look a heck of a lot better, too. Thanks Dr. Berg!
So proud of you brother Steve. Keep going!
Did you do intermittent fasting
Did you excercise
So awesome Steve!!!!
When you say, sugary poisons, are you relating that to fruit?
I love Dr. Berg and his advice. A year ago I started keto in in six months I had lost 60 pounds. I didn’t even exercise. I felt so much better and got off of a lot of meds like pre-diabetes medicine, high blood pressure medicine, and anti-depressants.
nice GOD BLESS
🎉That's awesome🎉
And being on keto is safe for you with Diabetes? I’v been on thyroid meds for years. I didn’t think was safe being on keto.
Remember the scale is deceiving. You might plateau at some point, so be aware of that. I always went with how my clothes fit rather than the scale.
@@geno5169 Yes it helps reverse diabetes and will sometimes correct thyroid problems too. Why do you think it’s not safe?
For a 17-year-old, like myself, it is very beneficial to be knowledgeable about these things in early life, so I can implement and maximize them throughout my lifetime. Having people like you Dr. Eric Berg, sharing your knowledge on how they will improve their life with others you don't even know, for free, is such a blessing that I will be forever grateful for. Now, I've finally restored my faith in humanity. Thank you, my guy.
I'm going to do this, good luck with my journey. I hope it works out for the best. I'll try my best to update every once in a while, to see any progress or notable changes in my body. Good luck to y'all.
Good luck to you! 😘
You are so smart for 17 !
Yea like am 16 too and I feel completely tge same ..It's good to think abt our lives and fitness..Since there's this most common saying "health is wealth "

Dr Berg. I just wanted to thank you for your videos, they have helped me tremendously!! 1.5 years ago I had blood work done and my doc told me I was prediabetic. I discovered your videos and cleaned myself up. Did healthy keto and intermittent fasting and worked out 4-5 times a week. This morning, my fast blood sugars were 91 then 2 hours after my meal my blood sugars were 90! I am no longer prediabetic, THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO!

He’s nice and calm. A voice of reason.
Totally unrelated but I love your profile pik. Go Ena!
😂 manic. I know what you mean
Hi Ena
should i care about calories in keto? yes or no? im int. fasting 18-20hours a day whats the max grams of carbs/sugar i can take a day? and do vegetable carbs count into that aswell? should i count calories during keto ?
I've been checking my blood sugar for about a year because if noticing low cognitive functions tingling and numbness in my finger and toe tips, tingling lip and skin.. I've never seen my blood sugar drop below 120 the entire time. I've started following your advice and within three days I've seen below 100 results. And started to feel the reduced numbness in my fingertips and toe tips. Thanks I look forward to this lifetime change
Your MD needs to check an A1C.

Absolutely, this man is legit! I am also living proof that if you do what he is telling you to do that you can and will see results. I am 56 years old and 5ft.11in. tall. Three months ago I weighed 280 lbs. and had an A1C of 8.3. I started following the good doctor's advice and I just had my follow up appointment with my own doctor and he was shocked to say the least.

Two months in and I’ve already lost 20 pounds and feel so much more energetic and less hungry. Thank you, Dr. Berg. You really saved my health
Glad to hear about Intermittent Fasting. I'm a retired lady who recently became diabetic. The Dr insists I need to follow the standard diabetic diet- eating 6-8 meals a day. I only eat when I'm hungry-2x a day. I believe my body will tell me when it's hungry just like when it's tired or whatever. So, I was a good little patient and did as I was instructed. That leads to taking insulin, swollen feet, and barely able walk. Enough of that, no more insulin the water retention is going away, I only eat when hungry. My glucose numbers are improving. And I feel better not to mention I am losing weight.
Same thing happened to me. I started IF list weight and do not take fast acting insulin anymore! I am starting to think the standard diabetic practices from health care are only supporting pharmaceutical company's and almost killed me with meds. Diabetes caused heart issues, diabetic retinopathy if I would have done IF or OMAD in 1989 instead of diabetic clinics I just wonder if I could have prevented all the health issues I have now??.
I'd call him up abd ask for a refund and send them here. It's malpractice to not know this.
Good for you! Following standard medical advice is a prescription for a prescription!
I’m 55 and was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes 6 months ago. I started listening to Dr Berg and have reversed my Diabetes, I have lost 40 lbs, I’m off my statins and thank God I turned my Diabetes around before they put me on Metformin. My knee arthritis has all but disappeared too! My Diabetes coach also told me to eat a lot of small meals too. Why do they try tell us to do the opposite of what really works?? It’s almost like they want people to stay sick!!!
Hi there! Are you type 1 diabetic and insulin dependent? I am and take the fast acting insulin at meals and the long lasting insulin. Been leaving so many comments on Dr. Berg’s videos for advice on being keto and an insulin dependent diabetic. I’m guessing it works but we just have to take less insulin or else our sugar will go too low and cause us to have to eat sugar to bring it up which is not what we want. Would love advice from fellow diabetic like me who has tried this. I already am on a low carb diet, barely eat any refined carbs, no added sugar, only eat blueberries as my fruit and like only 1 ounce at a time, mostly I eat veggies, healthy fats and proteins. Thanks in advance is anyone sees this comment and offers advice!❤
He broke this down in the most simplest form I’ve been doing hella research trying to learn how to truly start keto. Thank you for this content!
Hi. I thought Id share my experience. Best thing is that even if you fail keto, like me, you still cut out alot of carbs and sugar and will lose weight anyways. It gets easier because the carb addiction is getting less and less each week.
For me, i empty my fridge of everything except vegetables and chicken because the craving will come and you’ll be scavenging for any snack. I jog at the gym almost every day so i feel less hungry because then the body is busy rebuilding that rather than just sending eat signals.
Same. I watched the videos from Dr. Ken D Berry, Dr. Eric Berg and Thomas DeLauer. The two doctors are consistent in their message. DeLauer says to eat dairy (Greek yogurt) in his beginner‘s plan, but in another video says not two for the first two weeks. He also mentions eating lean meats for lunch. The doctors call for more fat.
Then we have the breakfast debacle. Two say to eat breakfast, while one says not to. I’m going to go with the breakfast but slowly phase it out. Of course this is all learn as you go and adjust fire to meat (haha) your body’s needs.
@@TheBooban Yes that’s what I’ve been doing and definitely have been losing weight. Thank you for this tip too

Ive recently started following the ketogenic diet with the *HyperKeto* plan, and I have to admit, Im seeing some impressive results! Energy all day long, and the fat is melting away.
2 years ago I lost 110 lbs thanks to the doctor. Last year I had a car accident and gained around 30 lbs. Saturday I was 215 and decided to begin my clean eating habits again. I'm into a 72 hours fast , lost almost 10 lbs. It's amazing how much glycogen is storage into our body. Thanks Doc. Begin the meal plan tomorrow.

Yeah totally agree! I haven't tried going keto but just cutting out 90% of my sugars and 75% of my carbs went from 192.5 to 163.5 but after a year got tired of eating salad and started eating my gummy bears again! Now at 177 trying to get back on track! And now writing this, I'm motivated for salad tonight!
I also like that Dr. Berg only lives 40 minutes from me!

Well said & true.Thx.
Me too!
Is it that restrictive?
Don't give up , love your self
Thanks a lot I did this for four days and I’ve lost like 5kilograms. Then I stopped and did not gain weight. And Today I’m on my second day, second time doing it. I want to try for a week , and hopefully for two weeks soon 💪🏼
Week 9 on Keto + intermittent fasting, lost 38lbs so far and I'm still losing weight. I usually eat 2 meals a day between 12 and 6pm, omad on weekends if I'm staying busy. This combination works like magic, the weight just melts off of you.
Seriously so awesome to read. Thank you so much for sharing.
Can you describe what you do exactly?
@@rawwoodgifts8117 I have coffee in the morning with a little cream. Around 1230pm I have lunch, usually salad with olives and tomatoes in it, plus home made dressing using olive oil, either balsamic or apple cider vinegar and a little dijon mustard. Along with the salad I have something else like a homemade soup made with chicken thighs, tomato, ginger, onion, spinach and bone broth. Dinner is usually around 545pm and I'll have a little fatty protein like Salmon, grass fed beef or eggs along with more veggies or an avocado. I drink lemon water throughout the day and occasionally a little scotch at night. That's it! I will say that I make everything I eat myself, no processed food anywhere in my diet. I think this is key because you know what you're eating, no hidden garbage. Also since writing I'm now down 51 lbs and wearing 34 waist jeans for the first time since I was 20 years old. People ask me when I'll stop dieting and I say never, it's not a diet, it's a lifestyle. I will settle at a weight at some point but it's up to my body to decide what weight that is.
Try it for 30 days, you won't ever go back to junk food after feeling as good as you'll be feeling.
Best of luck!

Best of luck!! Resist the urges!! You can do it! Listen to Dr Berg for your motivation! 💪🏼
Good luck
Good luck. I’ve just come across the channel and although I never followed Keto I can guarantee that if you cut out all processed foods for starters you will definitely restore your gut bacteria and rebalance your gut biome.. this will help you digest properly and feed you in the right way to bring health back to your body. I would also recommend that you examine your faeces at the start and then again three months later you will see a massive difference. Once you are healthy you can use this examination as an early warning sign that something is amis in your digestion once you know what is normal for you
I just started too. I'm "cheating" because I don't want to find myself giving up because I feel like I am hungry too often. So my eating window is 8 hours (and I still have a snack if it gets too bad), then I'll gradually cut down to 6 or less hours. I also started out still having a few carbs (mostly so I don't have to throw them out), but those are done now. Keep in mind this is not a fad diet, it is a complete lifestyle change, you'll have to do this forever. I have 50 pounds to lose and keep off.
My father has been diabetic for the last 30 years. In the last year I became his cargiver due to his Parkinsons and lack of mobility from surgeries on his knees, hips and neck. In that time it has always been a battle to get him to not continuously snack, let alone eat healthy. His blood sugar has ranged anywhere from 250 to 400 on a daily basis even with his glimmepride and multiple doses of insulin a day. After watching your video I convinced my parents to let me start making them a keto diet just for the the short term. In the last three days, his sugar levels have gone from an average of 285 to an average of 125 and he's also lost 7 lbs. They both enjoy the food, and since its actually fulfilling, no one goes back to the fridge in the middle of the night for snacks. My father was eating himself to death and you gave me the tools to not only save him but to help him thrive! I will always be grateful for the information you taught me. My father would not have had too long left if it weren't for you.
Wow! In 2.5 months I have lost 38 pounds. I can see my abs instead of flabs. I feel great, and I love the food that I eat. I'm never hungry and my mood is incredibly stable. Thank you Dr. Berg, you're the doctor I aspire to be.

@@Drberg yo
where's the consultant number?
i got questions
i initially thought if i cut out grains and ate 6oz meat a day with a chicken salad at evening and a chard wrap burger for breakfast everyday i'd be fine.
6 weeks later i was feeling subtle acute chest pains.
any idea why?
so i stopped eating meat again and the chest pangs stopped.
then i started doing more research.
discovered i ate a lot of berries, kombucha tea and coconut water which all add to the lvl of sugar in the blood! LOL
but y'all say berries are fine.
just no fruit.
is there really a difference?
what about grease?
i used to warm up my bone broth in the grease from the chicken the night b4.
isn't grease liquid fat?
how is ghee any different??
the other documentaries claimed that saturated fat, i.e. cholesterol levels, don't matter and have NOTHING at all to do with the cholesterol buildup inside blood vessels.
they say that those accumulations are derived from high carb high sugar diets w/o explaining how or why.
...
questions...

@@pangorbalm8086 I heard him say to eat berries, but you have to be very careful as to how many carbs you're getting from them. Obviously it's not a free for all.
@@pangorbalm8086 I think every meat is not good for everyone, just eat what's making your body feel good, I prefer turkey, chicken or seafood, meat always fresh, once I put it in the freezer it's no longer good for my stomach. Try it out for you and find your comfy food. 😊
Congratulations! Do you have loose skin? I've just started and would like to know.
Keto was a scary endeavor for me. I had coworkers on keto. When they explained the rules and frequency to eat, I was overwhelmed. Decided their plan was not for me. Stumbled upon this researching how to cure fatty liver. After listening to his plan, decided to give it a try. Price is right,free, and do not need to buy anything. I am hooked. Just did my first 2 day fast. Key is to eat your salad and pick a fatty meat. At first I used as much olive oil and vinegar as desired with salt and pepper on salad. I also ate as much meat as desired. I suffer from from leg cramps. Bought the electrolytes drink and Do sea salt.. works,, no leg cramps.. After watching more shows, decided to cut back olive oil to 1 tblsp and limit meat to 3 to 4 oz, so my body burns off body fat rather than food fat. Since this is my decision, not bad at all, plus it makes sense. We implemented 1 hour of walking every other day for exercise. Allows me to rest my back for next walking session. I started with 2 meals because I was not hungry for breakfast. After 3 to 4 days, I felt different with lessened hungry pains. Hunger went away,, this is how I know I'm in ketosis.. Just stayed on track and found myself in ketosis. I was able to naturally transition to one meal a day. I selected an early dinner 3 to 4 pm. I have a husband not interested in keto. He prefers to eat all 3 meals and this allowed us to eat together once a day. If he ate out and I didn't want to eat, I had a glass of water or cup of coffee with half and half. Satisfies him,, because he has my company.. About 3 weeks into the process, I felt confident to try fasting for 2 days. Success, I did my first 2 day fast. Now, I am going to fast Saturdays and Sundays, then eat 1 meal a day Monday thru Friday. This is the easiest thing I have ever done. By the way, my husband and I had a pact to limit ice cream to once a month. Well, that event came up. I was a wreck I would fall off keto and not able to start again. We went and had the ice cream together. Little shaky at first, but I persevered and got back on keto the next meal which was the next day.. my body easily transitioned into keto than I could if following an another eating plan. I am back and feel great again. Do not advise testing the waters with foods outside of keto. Leaves you feeling lousy, no reward with that one. If you desire of a taste of ice milk,, try half and half with Splenda instead, then let it go,go, you can get back to write your success story. Next month is his birthday. I am going to suggest to go somewhere where he can get his treat and i can eat keto. We rv because we are retired. I may fast while we travel, so I don't have to worry about food choices. Will lengthen fasts more before we travel to test how I feel. If you haven't tried keto, try, you may be surprised. Don't force the next steps, just allow your body to naturally transition. Thank you for reading. Wish I found this 20 years ago. Would have saved me months and months of dieting and thousands of dollars.
Splenda is poison! Use Monk fruit or Organic Stevia🙂
No more once a month ice cream for me. My lactose sensitivity acted up from bite throughout digestion process. Does not break my heart. Ketosis feels better and makes me happier..
Wow thanks for the detailed breakdown about your keto journey and insights. Appreciate it. I lost heaps of weight(6kg/13 pounds) and 10 cms around my waist in the first week. Nothing in the second and third week and starting to put a few grams on in my 4th. Left scratching my head I'm doing one, or multiple, things wrong. The positive side effects of no cravings and hunger, better sleep and amazingly clear skin for the first time since I was 12 years old. I'm 50 this year and my adult acne was the worst in my life. On my neck especially and I was never a day spot free but now I've only had one in 4 weeks! It is literally a miracle in my eyes. For those reasons alone it's worth persevering ❤

Do some exercise, try running or jogging. @@annahunter2192
Keto absolutely works. I was eating two meals a day, reduced down to 1. You don't feel hungry after a while. It's hard at first but if you keep disciplined and do it correctly, the weight drops off. It took two weeks for my body to get used to it, then I saw the weight loss. I could never get beyond my plateau weight. I did with this diet.
Do we really have to skip breakfast? My father had to have surgery because he skipped breakfast so often a hole was burned in his stomach by the acids. I'm afraid that may happen to me if i follow that bit of advice. Can I just drink green tea or something instead?
@@just_a_person_15 u don't really have to. Just don't eat unless you're hungry and eat until you feel full then stop don't fill up too much or force yourself to eat and do the intermittent fasting
Lol you wont burn a hole in your stomach. That morning stomach pain from not eating is because youve conditioned your body the wrong way your entire life. Its gonna be painful to transition into the correct routine.
I just want to add. Keto helped me with my pain relief. I have an inflammatory condition. So not eating sugar or carbs reduced my flare ups and inflammation a lot. Plus you have a lot more energy. It takes a while to get there but if you stick to it and be totally disciplined. It definitely works.
Been off carbs for 4 days now. Haven’t seen a difference yet in body comp as I’m less than 100 hours in but I’m astounded by the mental clarity and how even my energy levels feel. Even if I don’t drop the weight quickly the complete lack of brain fog and energy crashes alone is worth it! Stay strong and praying everyone here reaches their goals!
You are doing great. Just give it time.
I'm not full keto but I reduced my carbs significantly and replaced them with healthy fats (EVO, Avacados/oil, nuts, etc), and I feel soooo good. Haven't felt this great in years. This channel is a MUST see for anyone looking to become healthier.
This video is so helpful and so is your comment! I don’t know if I can go full keto but I am inspired by your comment to make some significant nutritional lifestyle changes and reduce my carb intake.
@fairyffine Thank you, fairyffine! It makes complete sense when you said "food should serve you, not the other way". Watching Dr Berg's channel and reading comments from his community have been super- so informative and supportive. Here's to better health!
@fairyffine hi, can I do this diet without losing a lot of weight? I don't have a weight problem. I just want to be healthier.
@fairyffine Great! Thanks for answering me. I'm going to try it. I've started to make small changes in my diet and I'm feeling better already. 😊
@fairyffine thanks. 💓
It’s 1 am and I’m binge watching. This man is heaven sent. Godspeed Dr. Berg we are so blessed to have you!
Awesome. Are you doing healthy keto now?
I have tried so many different keto diet programs in the past, but nothing has ever worked for me. I feel like I am always hungry and my cravings are out of control. I started using HyperKeto a few months ago and it's made keto easy, sustainable, & even enjoyable! The food is high quality and there are no restrictions on what you
What is Hyperketo?
I have been following a Keto diet for two years. I didn't start it for weight loss, as I was happy with my weight; I began it to lead a healthier life. After adopting a keto diet, I noticed a significant increase in my energy levels-I now feel energized throughout the day, a change from before. Additionally, this diet helped me realize that I have a gluten sensitivity. While I don't have Celiac disease, I was experiencing significant bloating and stomach upset, which were also affecting my mental health. Moreover, my skin has become more radiant than before. Overall, since starting this diet, I have become much healthier and have stopped relying on drugs and extra vitamins.
Easily one of the best communicators out there. Zero fluff. Straight to the point. Love it!
A big thanks to you Dr. Eric , for teaching us those things that we cannot learn anywhere else. I come from Greece and I was always a fat kid , and all my life was struggling with my weight. At my 18yo i decided to do the normal 5 meal diet + gym and to be honest it worked . So in one year i lost around 40 kilos (from 112 went to 72) . But the hard part was to keep it (its very hard for me to be with the clock all time and have always something around to eat) and God that hunger i remember it until today. So between my 18yo and 25yo it was gain and loose all the time , until i gave up and said , "thats enough , i dont want to be hungry anymore."
So now at my 38yo I weighted 166 kilos and everything became very hard. I take 2 pills a day for blood pressure and the smallest distance i walk im out of breath.
I was watching videos of dr Eric and other ppl on youtube talking about keto and IF and said to try it. The results were amazing. First week i lost 5 kilos and next week another 5. I already feel the difference since im more active , sleep better , fog and that feeling of being always tired gone and most important not hungry. The first 3 days were hard and I had sugar cravings , so i bought a six pack of cola light to quench my sweet tooth. After 3 days that left also and now i dont even want to drink that diet cola since its not the most healthy drink in the world. But the most important was today . I went for a walk with my family and i didnt run out of breath. Small things for normal people but for me it is an achievement. So to all the ppl out there who hesitate to do this diet , I suggest to start today.
Wow, well done! I am positive that you will get there - I too am new to Keto, and have been doing it for a week, and I love it!
Μπράβο παικταρα
I was very successful with Keto in the past, lost 50lbs. Getting back in the groove starting tomorrow 😊
You go this!!!
Girl.. Same! Lost 50 lbs. Year later gained back 30 of that 😞 Idk why it's so hard for me to start it again.
You can do it queen!
@@hopehdz1010 you can do it queen.
@@yulandashellman Yes Girl we got this! 💖
Hello,
Hope you are well. Just wanted to share my journey so far. I was at my heaviest at over 105kg (230 pounds) in January this year. I stumbled on Dr Berg while researching about gout. Having tried many approaches to loose weight with little or no improvement. We started Keto and IF late January and I am now under 95kg (210 pounds).
Additionally, I went to see my doctor to discuss my pathology report this week. I asked him how he was, and he replied "everything is perfect". I did not realise that he was referring to my report!
Thank you!!
Lost 11 kilos in 50 days. It really works. I feel much stronger than before, when I was overeating. This workg great for me. Thank you!
That's amazing! Congratulations! I will share this with Dr. Berg! If you’ve benefited from Dr. Berg’s program or content in any way, we’d love to hear your success story! If you would like to share it, please use this link:

I have done this diet for 10 days. My partner noticed a difference in my breathing within 3 days. It has also helped my stools, thigh cramps, mental health, especially concentration. Focusing better, and losing weight, so 5 ways so far. I have no doubt it will lower BP and LDL cholesterol once I am in keto mode next Thursday. Thanks for your help. I have said this to help others.
How are you doing now ?
I have been doing intermediate fasting omad for over a month. I cannot believe how much better I feel. I have lost weight I have so much more energy and it actually has taken a lot of my arthritic pain away in my hands that might have been something that was going on in my previous diet, but what a relief not to have the pain. Thank you and I enjoy your videos keep up the good work!
I was so slim in my 20’s but now I am 30lbs overweight. I am starting today.
After binge-watching your videos for months I'm coming back for a refresher course. Sometimes we fall off the wagon but we always have to pick ourselves up and try again
Absolutely 💪💪
Good luck!
@@avapilsen thank you Ava 😊
That’s me ... this time I’m doing his 30 day challenge to get me back on track.
All the best to you guys. We can do this. One day at a time 🤗
I love food and travel. I travel to eat and to cook. I am still very healthy. I follow a Mediterranean style diet with lots of seafood, chicken, olive oils, cheese,and vegetables. I still eat bread pasta and rice but in small amounts. I am in my sixties and get lots of exercise by walking gardening and cycling. I think a balanced lifestyle is the most important thing and to have a great social life.
Ok. Just for fun, would you try have No carbs (except leafy vegetables) for 3 weeks? Just organic fats (including plenty of avocados) and high quality eggs or meat/fish? Just to see what happens 😁?
I eat a lot of sugar but i compensate it with having a healthy outlook in life by trying to always find joy and happiness in every little thing and i do have several chatrooms during this lockdown that we get to make fun of one another as we reminisce our elementary/high schoold days/crushes. I also have a circle of Christian friends and we meet every other Friday to study the Bible and draw strength and be inspired of each other's testimonies of God's goodness amidst this pandemic.
Ok, so what.
@@montanamike7948 are u upset? Comments here are just facts of their lives and can be taken with a grain of wisdom.
👍🏼 Joe, I’m at my goal and I understand what you’re saying. Food and eating is more than just nourishment. The key is small amounts of bread, pasta & rice, as you said. Some people can’t stop themselves with a small amount and it seems like it’s all or nothing. Then you have to take a more rigid approach and skip the little treats. It’s a journey and we figure it out as we go.
Your a legend 👍
I was 147 kg did keto ( not as pure as u might want to ) but still got immensely proud results inflammation wner away no more gas no more belly bloating no more headaches & way more attentive at things . Now im standing at 105 kg after successfull 8 months & still going strong. Thankyou again
Wow, great results! Good luck! Where are you now?
Just said I'd add my story/progression. Watched this video 6 weeks ago and I'm down 36.5lbs. I'm male, 40, 5.8 and got to 285.3 at my heaviest. I'm sticking pretty close to what is said. (Week 1, -10.1lbs) (Week 2, -7.2lbs), (Week 3, -5.2lbs), (Week 4, -4.8lbs) (Week 5, -1.8lbs) and (Week 6, -7.4lbs). I'm feeling great and want to get back down to about 190lbs, when I did weight lifting and some sports. Anyone that has questions, please ask. It has been challenging but nowhere near as much as I thought. I do have 1 take-away meal a week but having that keeps me grounded..I feel. 30min walk in the morning & 30 in the evening. Some chest exercises. Lunch & dinner. that's really it. Thank you Dr. Berg for making a video that was so helpful and easy to understand. Michael - Ireland.
24th November 2023
Just a quick update. I hit 185lbs today. That's 100lbs in 6 months. I feel great. Thinking of doing a video to discuss my journey. Again, thanks Dr. Berg for your advice. :)
👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉Keep up the great work.😊
Wonderful results - congratulations! Would you mind sharing a few ideas on meals you have each day, please? Thank you. All, what do you eat at your take away meal each week. Thank you.
@@susanarcher3353 Hello Susan. Most days I stick to the same lunch / dinner combo. Lunch would be 4 eggs, cheese, chicken/ham, peppers, cucumber. I make that into either scrabbled eggs or an omelette. Some fruit like raspberries, strawberries or blueberries with a cup of tea. Dinner is usually either chicken/steak/fish/bacon with vegetables. Usually broccoli and cauliflower. Drink is water with a splash of cordial. The take-away is always a chicken box from a local shop. 3 pieces of southern fried chicken with home made style chips (fries). That's it. Hope it is informative.🙂
I am only one week into this program. Did you have any issues with your lower tract being somewhat loose if I can use that term?
@@marcschoenfeld Well done on getting past Week 1. I'm now at the end of Week 9. I think I get what you mean. Even though I eat veg like cauliflower, I find the opposite. I drink adequate water etc but I'm not a loose as I would like. Might need to eat more nuts etc.
As I was growing up, I never wanted to eat breakfast. I was thin and people always asked me how I did it and I just thought I was lucky. Now in my 60’s, I’m overweight (for me) at 136, 5’4” and feel sluggish with gut problems (probably fatty liver). I decided this week to go back to intermittent fasting as I’ve been successful with it in the past. I’m trying to eat in a 4 hour window but yesterday it was 5. I’m already sleeping better! My husband thinks I’m not being wise. I told him to look at the slim and trim Dr. Berg!
Well done for your persistence. You can make it! Have you checked Dr Berg's Facebook group? There are really lots of people showing their progresses with healthy keto and intermittent fasting ✨✨✨Anyone can see the truth for themselves.
I don't understand how 136 pounds at 5'4" is a problem?
@@donnat3958 it’s probably because of where she is carrying that weight. I’m 5’1 and i weigh 52kilo which is roughly 114 pounds and I’m considered healthy weight, but I hold quite abit of it in my belly area which means it’s unhealthy. I’m working on it though ☺️
I never used to as well but was sold the “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” line so many times I adjusted to that. Damn!
@@mint_soup9743 we were told it was the most important meal of the day because of advertising/branding by the Kellog family many years ago. We were trained.
Best explanation of Keto that I've come across. I've recently gone down to one evening meal per day, drinking a lot of tea, very occasional small snacks just to keep pangs of hunger away, and I feel so much better as a result. I don't sleep during the day like I used to (digesting food), I don't feel that my guts are clogged up with food, and I have much more energy.
I want to thank you Dr for sharing your knowledge with us. We spend half of our lives in schools, college and universities. We pay thousands of dollars for our education. Yet, we are not given any information about living a healthy life or any information about finances. I feel uneducated after having a degree. So thanks for your contribution to humanity. Could you show us what you eat in a day and in a week please.
I'm feeling so good. I've lost 17kg in 12 weeks. I'm finding only eating two meals a day easy and I'm starting to only eat one meal. The video's are so very informative and explain keto so clearly. Highly recommend those wanting to do or are on keto to watch Dr Bergs video's
This is fascinating. I was told my entire life that breakfast is very important. I listened to what my body told me instead and have coffee in the morning and often don't eat until three pm, then I eat again about 8 pm, and then don't eat again until the next day. About 90% of what you describe as the keto diet is what's normal for me and has been as long as I can remember, or at least it has become more and more normal as things that don't make me feel good to eat have dropped out---like anything with chemical preservatives or "flavor enhancers". So that makes me wonder if the keto diet is not some exceptional diet but the one that some people or most people should be eating? Thank you for another great video. I'm sure a lot of research and care has to go into them.
*_Breakfast is the most important meal of the day_*
-_Said the cereal industries_
Breakfast can also be vegs, proteins and fats. Nobody forbids you to do it this way. Personally I prepare a soya milk cup with pure cacao powder, soluble bartley, cannella, curcuma and some integral oat flakes.
@@ontherun8 yes, but I don't eat breakfast because I am not hungry until much later in the day. I am almost 61 years old, I am five foot ten inches tall and weigh 158 pounds. Thats a BMI of 21 or 22 per cent, which is just fine. That's what I mean by listening to what my body tells me. It doesn't mean I will never be prone to any illness, only that I am not likely to have problems with blood sugar or obesity, which are common problems for quite a few men of my age.
oh you can eat breakfast if you want. just eat during a 6 hour window 2 meals.
The 'breakfast is the most important meal of the day' started as a slogan for Corn Flakes... & here we are in 2023... most still believing it's true. Lol. Talk about mind control.
Am 27 , i stared 8 weeks ago , was 109 kg, let week i was 97 kg, monday i have to weight again because i do every 2 weeks, it works and it’s amazing, i quit alcohol and bad habits. Dr Berg Thank you 🙏
started this diet June 2021 at 260 lbs with blood sugar of 126 fasting and A1C of 6.6, May 2022 210lbs with a blood sugar of 102 and an A1C of 5.7, and im still in the fight. Rock on every one.
Congrats! Are you continuing with Keto diet and fasting?
Watching these videos along with intermittent fasting....in just under a year i lost 40kg...not only did i feel amazing by losing the weight I also learned to maintain it and not gain over the xmas holidays..... Now i do 24hr fasts but I switch the times all the time so my body doesnt get complacent... Love this lifestyle.
Wow I’ve never watched a whole video on keto because I was never as invested,because the people weren’t explaining the way I would comprehend, but you sir have explained it to me beautifully I can actually understand everything. Now I’m not confused on how this will work for me.
I'm so glad to hear this! Best of luck on your keto journey.
@@Drberg is it ok if I only eat in the morning (breakfast time) within a 1 hour window? Eating in the other times (lunch/breakfast) makes me feel a bit uneasy and I’ve been eating only in the morning cutting out sugars for 2 months now and I feel amazing. The “skipping breakfast” part had me confused.
@@hmm7808 it's a priority to avoid breakfast in keto
One thing to keep in mind is you need fat not lean meat. The meat industry is pushing lean meat. The fatty meat keeps you from snacking and is satisfying.
I sometimes get a little shaky and weak if I don't eat in the morning..any suggestions
You seem to be actually fulfilling your gift in teaching others…I suggest that’s what you came here for. Tremendously good karma/soul work. You’re appreciated, deeply.
I finally started following these guidelines 5 days ago. I’m already 8lbs lighter, feeling more alert and far less bloated. Hopefully I keep this going, lose the extra 30 lbs and make this a new way of life.
Consuming a whole lemon a day is not enjoyable but it’s great to feel so clean and energised after pulping it up and knocking it back in one.
2 days to enter ketosis, 2 weeks to kick sugar addiction, 1 month to see really good results, 2 more weeks after that to reach my goal weight and never felt better. I dont weigh myself, but im pretty sure i started around 140 and finished at 125 age 27. It works really well👍
Just starting this journey. Years on Atorvastatin, levothyroxine, sertraline....my blood work is now screaming High LDL, elevated A1C and blood pressure is now in first stages of hypertension....130s over high 80s. Consulting with our clinics health coach and watching here. I am excited to learn and change my diet and improve my health!!!
I like to eat a big salad that I top with my protein - a tin of salmon, or chicken and bacon and cheese. Love fresh grated Parmesan with the salmon on my salad. Plus, I make my own salad dressing with olive oil.
I wish you would make me a salad that sounds delicious
I love veggies so much!! More than meat or fat. I love to grow them and know I’m eating truly organic. I hate when people tell me I have to stop eating veggies because “carbs”. I’m glad you support eating veggies on keto!!
meat is much more important than veggies its a fact , I only eat meat and take multivitamins
@@roynadav5686 they are both important. Nutrients are more bioavailable from the real food than from a multivitamin.
I found this video very helpful!
I started dieting a month ago. I've done it not perfectly as I still had fear of fats. Now I see what I should consume without any harm to my body.
My diet has been based on meat, fat, veggies, and fruit. No carbs at all. Have lost 4 kg in a month.
With this information, I'll do even better.
I don't have those cravings any more.
Other effects include reduced anxiety and heightened energy levels.
I'm on IF 20/4+Keto for a 2 months. I lost 12 kg already. I feel so good and full of energy. So so grateful, i found Dr. Berg. I feel AWAKE and free from a food addiction!
So I only discovered all of this at end of November. I started keto like first week of December. In between that I went on holiday and had a few cheat meals I couldn’t resist since I was in Ghana where my parents are from! I have still managed to lose 4kg considering the fact that my weight wasn’t budging for a while. I have had ibs for as long as I could remember and I no longer have any gut issues. My energy levels have improved as I take the Dr Berg electrolytes too. Just want to say a huge thank you Dr Berg. I remember coming here for the first time and reading all the testimonials in the comments and I never thought I would be one of them! God bless x
I really enjoy the fact that you speak slowly!!
He has filmed the videos before 12noon.
Yeah, its better for people out of UK/USA like me. But i dont understand all type of measure like Oz ite better to explain in KG/Grams.
I really enjoy all your videos! Very informative.
@@nenadpetkovic9680 no, because the people inside the US don't understand the metrics system.
Why is it that celebrities and influencers gain so much attention, while truly valuable content like yours often goes unnoticed? I'm 55 and have been battling pre-diabetes for about two years. I stumbled upon your videos by chance, and I can't thank you enough. Your clear, insightful explanations have made me realize the dangers lurking in so many of the foods we consume daily. It's eye-opening to learn how sugar can be just as addictive as illegal drugs. I want to be healthy for myself and my grandkids, and if that means cutting out snacks and sugar, I'm fully committed. Thank you for your invaluable advice-your videos should be essential viewing for everyone.
I've lost 28 pounds on low carb. Taken me 5 months but I'm very pleased. 28 more to go. Thank you for all your excellent guidence, you're excellent. X
Well done !
Thats healthy with low carb. Shortcuts endup ugly
That’s perfect! Such a nice, healthy gradual loss. I hate when people brag about going crazy extreme because that’s not sustainable. I hope you’re near your goal now, four months later.
that's so good! wish you the best❤
@@missmayflower that's probably because they have more weight comparatively to lose
Well done Dr. Berg. I started April 2021, lost 10 lbs. in five weeks AND have begun preaching on this lifestyle change.
I have toyed with trying keto for about 6 months now and finally decided to give it a go, starting last Sunday. I have lost 10 lbs in my first week.... Amazing!! (I was 189lbs to start, at 5ft 7ins). I am lucky in that I love veggies and keto friendly foods, but I was most surprised by the fact that I feel full and haven't missed highly processed carbs at all. Measuring my glucose levels, I am not in ketosis as yet, but I am sticking with it. To Dr. Berg, thanks for the informative videos and to everybody who comments, thanks for the inspiration to finally give it a go. Cheers!
If I can't eat a mango with plain yogurt for breakfast, what's the point of going on?
@@jovesheerwater Then You do you
Just wanted to say thank you Dr Berg. I finally managed to stay on a diet and no longer crave cakes, chocolate and bread. I lost 20kg in 1.5 years with keto and intermittent fasting. And i can still concentrate at work (no more brain fog) which was another reason for stopping previous diets. 9 more kg to be a super-model, but it feels easy to do. So a big thank you! Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year!
As I'm writing this message today is Monday 08/08/2022 I'm 35 and I weight 109,40 Kg and I'm going to start KETO for loosing weight (my ideal weight is 90 Kg). Let's see how far my determination will lead me in the next three months. Please wish me luck!
Good luck ,GOD BLESS, you can do it
Good luck,please update with your journey
Good luck!!... How is it going so far?
Hows your weight loss journey going?
Hi dear, I trust it is going well with your weightloss.
Well Dr. Berg, two years ago I followed your guidance and lost 65 pounds. I still intermittent fast easily but when I eat, I break keto rules. I've added 20 pounds and arthritis to my original success. So, I'm back to looking at your basic video and remind myself why I was here to begin with. I was working then, and now I am retired. I think I can jump back, knowing so much more now. Starting today and I'm so glad tomorrow is trash day. They'll be collecting a few things from me that shouldn't be in this house!
Thank you for this post! I want to start - interesting that breakfast means failure - that has always been true of me. I'm going to keep listening to Dr. Berg and follow his rules.
I’m almost 62. How do I keep carbs at 10 and still eat vegetables?
@@Msseminole its because its the carb to fiber ratio that matters not the total carbs.. fiber cancels out the carbs.. Carbs in vegetables are not required to be counted
Me personally, I started losing the most weight after reading the book Woman’s weight loss secrets: the unspoken truth, a few things you are mentioning in this video are also in the book
I fell of the keto diet mid 2018 and completely off in 2019 because of old trauma and depression. However I'm back here and I'm so grateful I have Dr Burg back to re educate me! Hello everyone hehe x
Hello! Have you checked Dr Berg's videos on cravings too?
Me too, went to the dark side but am back again!
I started watching these videos and practicing keto 8 weeks ago.I practice intermiitent fasting as Doctor Berg explained and am 52 and have lost 11 kilograms or just over 24 pounds in this time.I have made a point of walking for roughly 1 hour daily and i do have a cup of coffee with a bit of cream during my fast.Thankyou for explaining this in a way that makes perfect sense and is easy to follow.
I lost 80lbs in approximately 7 month just by listening to Doctor Berg. Best choice I have ever made! Thank you Dr. Berg 🙏🏼
Well done ❤ I’m just starting my journey have 3 at to lose
He is very descriptive in his knowledge
my bf suggested intermittent fasting and he was following Dr.Berg, the first thing that came out of my mouth was "breakfast is the most important bleh bleh" for the past two years I have been doing intermittent fasting without keto combined with weight training. My hairfall reduced, i was energetic throughout the day, lost weight, more calmer than I was. Thanks a lot for changing so many of our lives, Dr.Berg!
This Dr is a truly angel he explains with full details he makes me feel like his student, i have learned so much thanks to him..
He is amazing ...

You started me three and a half years ago when I turned to TH-cam in search of weight loss motivation. I found you instead. Through your videos on IF & keto, fat quickly fell off, and I will never stop this lifestyle. Thank you.
So nice to read. Thank you so much for sharing.
Other feedback since you started healthy keto?
I am fasting in the Holy month of Ramadan, Trying to fit in your KETO with my diet to avoid prostate problems.
Fasting really helps and relief the symptoms.
Just for people's information, it's three years later and that number is still live. Just had a wonderful, informative and very encouraging conversation with Paulette and am looking forward to the next step in this adventure.

@@Drberg doc thanks for this info. How do I get the best Keto diet. There are so many Keto programs on the Internet.
I started at 310, dropped down to 220!! Only 6 months. Gained back up to 270, gonna start tomorrow. Gonna try to do it again till June wish me luck guys
Best of luck on your journey!! One day at a time and if you fall one day, remember tomorrow is a new day.
Listen to this man , especially if you are an overweight, middle-aged man, which I am.... It is truly amazing way to lose weight. I'm 6'3" and weighed well over +20 stone Jan 1st 2022. I have never dieterd in my life but just knew I had to do something - so I chose this diet . I'm on 16: 8 meals, skip breakfast, I eat my big meal at 11am , no snacks, plenty of water, 2nd meal 7pm . NO BEER OR WINE. In 4 weeks, 28th Jan - I lost 18lbs!! I was gobsmacked....... gonna stick to it and hopefully by April I will have lost my (1st) Target weight loss onf 50lbs!!
Wow that's truly impressive
Cuz
I'm a traditional Naturopath and love your concise and practical explanations of melding Keto and my blood type O diet. I am new to intermittent fasting, but willing to do it as I reset my metabolism this spring!
...as a new Catholic I was googling around to try and find tips on how to fast intelligently...thanks to your clear information, Dr. Berg, I have now been on this keto plan for about one month now...I have already lost my baby fat and feel much more awake and healthy...also my chronic joint pain seems to have left (the coming winter will help me assess this better)...thank you so much Dr. Berg...I hope you and your family are well and thriving...
Catholic fasting isn't that rigorous. Mainly it is lighter meals and no snacking. Easy. Keto requires more effort, just developing some new habits.
Fasting and prayer or reading the Bible! Renews the spirit
@@josiedepratto3546 I agree.. NO NEED to be part of a denomination or church either. Just yourself and our King, Creator God.
@@rosiemcking72 where does the canon of the bible come from?
@@josiedepratto3546 bible in a year podcast with Father Mike Schmitz is fantastic.
I’ve done consistent Keto since 2017 and wanted to review. Great video Doc! I lost 60lbs and was able to get off bp meds and a statin. I’m 66 and was getting joint pain due to inflammation and that is gone.
Can you use Stevia as a sweetener? Just wandering...
Do you have a particular meal plan you follow?

Yes
I would like to say, "Thank you, Dr. Berg"!!! This is the truth: I love how you present all of the information in your videos with such compassion! Honestly, I began having serious issues with my liver. I started feeling depressed, worried, and sick until I came across You. I began to follow exactly what you said regarding the Ketogenic Diet and Intermittent fasting, and within THREE DAYS ( I can't believe it) I bounced back, for real! The edema in my legs and feet went away, I lost about one pound, began to urinate regularly, my mood and energy levels elevated, and I am no longer afraid. I have been wheelchair-bound my entire life and raising my precious 10-year-old Grandaughter, so I MUST be in the best shape possible. Again, thank you for providing this Gift to us all!! One more comment: You should visit Denver, CO.! We would definitely embrace you here in the Rocky Mountains!!! -Sincerely, Paulina B.
So proud of you!
Started keto April of 2018 and combined it with intermittent fasting as well as eating whole foods a majority of the time so minimal processing. Went from 206 to 139 by 2020... excited to transition back to that lifestyle. The energy is no joke while on keto...I swear by it... but keep it clean.
Congratulations on your results! Would love to know more about your journey. Please share your success story with me by using this link! 👉 www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story
