Fell off the keto wagon. Suffering from acid reflux. When I was on keto lifestyle change a couple years ago, i didn't have any bouts of suffering from acid reflux. Need to restart my keto experiences. I had lost over 30lbs. Also need to change my diet as I just had surgery for DCIS ( ductal carcinoma in situ) precancerous tiny calcification in the milk duct. Blessings To You All
1. Get rid of all leftover temptations 2. Water fast 24-48 hours 3. Forgive yourself 4. Get plenty of real salt 5. Get your minerals 6. Have high fat/protein snacks ready (for a few days) 7. Give your body time to readapt to fat burning
I was on keto three years, lost 30 plus and felt great. Two hip replacements, knee surgery, two years physical therapy , learning how to walk properly again Gained thirty pounds back, knee deep in sugar addiction , snacking constantly and completely bummed. Never thought I would be here again. Gearing up, getting my head in the right place to start again. Wish me luck.
Lost 80, can't take credit for it because diabetes did it for me. Keto kept it off. The holidays gave me back 20 pounds. I didn;t keep track of carbs as well as I should have. Now it's fasting time. It's amazing how fast the pounds pile on when your blood glucose is normal.
Your surgery could have contributed to your sugar addiction. This happened to me. After my knee replacement surgery I was on heavy pain meds but I was actually losing wieght. But once all the meds were taken away my appetite exploded. I honestly believe my addictive brain traded food and sugar for the pain meds I was taking. Because after my surgery I gained 60 pounds. I am now 3 weeks in to the conavoir diet. I am doing better but still struggling with cravings. You are not alone. Let's just keep moving forward!!! Good luck!!!
I have been keto for almost 2 years on Feb 1st, 2021. This holiday season I've gone crazy on cookies and it shocked me cause I haven't screwed up since I started. These tips were very helpful thank you .
I didn’t fall off, I consciously jumped off for Christmas, but went back to 18 hrs of intermittent fasting the next day. Have been doing this for two years so it wasn’t hard to get back on track.
I consciously jumped off too-but it’s been 2 weeks. I’m happy you were able to get back quick. I am almost ready to get back on-soon, because I feel terrible!
@@schroekate I can relate...I found it helpful to have bone broth (home made) in the am...eat around 3 or 4 my goodies then back on the fasting around 8 ish...not denying...still temporarily off Keto /Carnavor AND not eating crazy all day...once I return home from a trip this weekend, back to ketovoir...funny enough though, I was craving liver today. And butter instead of holiday "treats...aka junk". Too funny! My body craves "the Best Human diet items!!"
Glad to see you are ok Dr. Berry. Thoughts with all those in Nashville after the Christmas tragedy. Thank you for all you the Mrs. so graciously do to help all of us get our health, lives, and happiness back!!!
I am the only one in my house who does keto. My whole family is skinny except me. Its tough living in a home where everyone can eat just about what they want and I am fat and addicted to sugar.
My whole family follows keto-even our 10 yr old skinny child. He does eat carbs at school and when he visits friends, but we try to not bring it home. Our pediatrician is on board with it. It is the proper human diet and you are less likely to "cheat" if it isn't in your home. Now, dont get me wrong, we eat off plan probably more often than we should. But don't beat yourself up because your body is different than theirs. You can be skinny and unhealthy on the inside.
That's a difficult position to be in. At the end of the day keto is a very low inflammation diet, and even if your weight hasn't responded to it yet, it's likely that you will experience other benefits first such as better sleep, more stable mood etc, things that your skinny family members may be having trouble with. Focus on the positives :)
It was the champagne and wine that killed me and I’m paying for it, can’t believe how bloated and inflamed I feel. Thank you for the timely video, back to it!! Love from down under Australia 🇦🇺
For me, it's OK to celebrate traditional holidays and vacations as they are celebrated. Enjoy it! You can always get back on fasting and your diet within your microenvironment at home.
@@suzylund7859 And I want to stress this is for me. It might not be for whoever is really struggling. I just set clear expectations of what will happen: yes, I will gain some water weight; yes, I will have "intestinal distress" for a couple days; yes, I might feel a little more hungry than usual. I am not going to start the "I shouldn't have done that" shame game. Keep the crap out of your house, and when you get home, you will be back in a safe environment to get back to normal.
My daughter made sure there was abundant keto friendly foods at Christmas. What a legend.. but I grazed. And no dessert. Boxing day was an omad day and I'm back to where I was before. Comforting to know most of it was fluid. Then this morning went to the supermarket and bought heaps of meat on special and bags of greens eggs etc . I'm loving keto.
Wow, your right about the weight gain being almost all water Doc! I fell off the wagon for eight days and indulged in every food I missed - I put 12lbs on in that short time, but a visit to Olive Garden and an order of their endless soup and salad followed by a 36 hour fast (using my trusty electrolyte powder!) and it's almost all out of me! Minor inconvenience of going to the bathroom every 45 minutes (made nighttime sleep impossible though). Today I'm strictly keto keeping carbs under 40 grams and still visiting the restroom frequently. Tomorrow I'll do another 36 hour fast to get back into the fight. Experimenting with Alternate Day Fasting for the next week or two to make up for lost time. Thanks for the encouraging words in this video. Saving it for future breaks or falls. Be well.
With social-distancing, working from home and no holiday parties, it was the least temptation I ever experienced at the holidays. No issue staying keto this year!
I reached an interim goal weight on the morning of Dec. 24th that was a major achievement for me. I ate extra that day & on Christmas, but I'm back in the keto saddle today (Dec. 26th) and feel re-oriented. There is no way I'm going to mess up having reached that goal! Thanks for your encouragement, Dr. Berry!!
I got on keto to stop information and artist pain. The bonus since July 21st 2020 is that I have gone from 273 pounds to 228 pounds. Two years ago a Doctor told me I was bone on bone and would need Double knee replacement or a wheelchair. Now at 51 I can out run most NFL players in 100 yards. You honestly saved my life with your videos. I could not take the pain any longer just six moths ago.
Thanks Dr. Berry for the pep talk. I've been keto for 6 months now and I've lost 37 pounds. I'm feeling pretty good about that. I fell off the wagon for Christmas day, but I'm getting back on today. I don't feel guilty or bad or anything like that, just determined to continue with this life change. I like being keto and mostly ketovore. Here's to a great year!
I find all the sugary stuff nauseating now. I'm going back to 90% carnivore where I was before. I had the bad stuff over the holidays and I didn't get the pleasure out of it I thought I would.
I had lost 150 lbs and reversed my type2 diabetes with Keto and a lot of things I've learned watching your videos. But... the stress of life changes and holidays has allowed me to put back on about 25 lbs... ugh! Time to get back on track! The timing and reminders of this video occurs with perfect timing! Thank you!!
Back on since 10-29-21, with a over 10 lb. water loss (yay!) after being off the wagon for about 2 months. I had lost almost 80 lbs., was on the wagon from May 2020 to late August 2021, had some major stressors/life events and completely got derailed. So happy to be “home” back on keto and this time my roommate is on board with me FINALLY! He has COPD, psoriasis and other health issues and I’m so grateful he finally joined me! We are beyond thankful for your & Neisha’s videos.
Thank you Doc, already 18 hours into my fast, and just weighed myself and only gained 3 lbs up to 203 from 200. Started my Journey last July 22nd at 256 lbs. Like I said before, I was so sick and it was your videos that made me realize how to get healthy again.
Thanks doctor Ken - after 4 weeks of doing Keto with yoga I'm wearing jeans I havent worn in years. I refuse to weigh myself as that can be a let down for me, instead I'm using the "how my old clothes fit test". I am 53, male and was addicted to sugar but now I can have people eat candy and chocolate directly in front of me and I do not miss it. I love your vids and how you communicate to us. Thanks again.
Oh please, I've been jacked up for months. I started back today. I got rid of the crap. I really needed this! I was so successful on keto and ended up going back to crap. Many of my symptoms returned. Thank you.
I have started the fast... @7:15pm Dec 27th... I was gonna wait til New Years Day but I'm so over allowing myself to eat CARBage... I'm ready to feel good again... Keto makes me feel FABULOUS!!! Thx for the awesome tips...🤠💕
I've found a new thing that works for me, according to some basic research that we get sugar cravings mainly when we have a low Chromium level. I got a supplement from Amazon and now I see the Little Debbie's that my wife won't leave at the store, but I don't even have to struggle anymore, it's an extreme improvement over my old struggles with sugar.
@@shaykitoff25 I do magnesium as well, it's for the same reason that I started Keto in '18. I studied what chemicals caused the body to store vs burn fat, then I googled how to get my body in Ketosi, 6 months later I was 70 lbs lighter and my pre-diabetic symptoms disappeared, I don't get crazy acid reflux anymore (it runs in my family and usually leads to throat cancer.) Dr. Berry was a huge help for me, but I fell off a few times after my first year in because I just can't stay away from the sugar, despite knowingthe risks. For the holidays I switch to more of a low-carb diet since cooking is a competition in my family (you'll have to go to world class bakers to find equal desserts) people aren't offended as long as you eat just a small piece.
@@zorabw8948 everyone is different and has different reactions, from what I read Chromium helps transport Tryptophan into the brain, I wonder if it's not a lack of Chromium itself that is the problem, but Tryptophan (note I'm not a doctor, just thinking aloud.)
Thanks for the words of wisdom after the holidays! I didn't fall hard but I did have a few things I shouldn't 🥺. Believe it or not the taste of them wasn't the same,I am proud to say I've lost 75lbs and I'm down 5 pants sizes.I owe it all to you and your wisdom and thank you!
Hi Doctor! I learned about Keto and IF from you about 4 years ago. I'm 71 and it's been a process and now, I am actually doing Ketovore. I can go to parties, etc and yes, maybe eat what I normally don't but the next day get right back to it. Maybe doing OMAD, in other words, 23 hour fast. My body is in such a state that if I eat something out of the norm, I don't miss a beat. No cravings, no hunger pains. It's been an amazing lifelong journey I'm on. 🙏 💪 ♥
Perfect timing! I fell off the wagon just about the time the lockdown hit us on March 17, 20 and didn't end until 6 months later. I've been battling to catch up with the wagon since then. The first of Sept I was diagnosed with COVID, the wonderful virus that just keeps on giving! COVID kicked my IBS into overdrive. BC (before covid) I had to get lots of fiber and the constipation was fine, now I have to eat stuff like white rice, white potatoes, low fiber foods and low fat to keep the diarrhea in check and the intestinal spasms at bay! All the lovely stuff that makes me store fat like crazy! I will have to tailor my keto diet to my IBS because it is really bad right now. I am now full of inflammation and edema so it is going to be a balancing act. Thank you COVID for pointing out every tiny thing that is wrong with my body and making it worse just so I know I have it! Ugh!
I actually fell off the wagon on my summer holiday in September and never got back since, I put on weight and feel very inflamed. I'm definitely going back to my normal OMAD ketovore, but starting with a 48h water fast.
Let me add: WALKING... I have noticed that NOTHING helps get things moving like SIMPLE WALKING. I am NOT talking about SPEED Walking, or running, or pushing it. Fire up a few podcasts, and walk a couple of miles, while fasting... It burns that glycogen out even faster. It feels good... Also, some Mag07 for that "Get Up and Go [#2]". LOL (But that's a product, so you can skip it)
I wish I had you as my doctor seriously. I probably would of got rid of this diabetes and neuropathy years ago before I did major damage and the other complications.
I’m watching this in July because I just spent 10 days hospitalized and the glucose IVs and forced carb filled nutrition (I was there for seizures from hypoglycemia ) were the way they treated me and now I feel super horrible. I’ve been clean keto for over two years and having so many bad things put in my body was hugely discouraging.
Did anybody else have to watch this more than once to get back on track? 😬 Tried to restart after Christmas, did great for two days, then came goodies from neighbors, a birthday in our family, and New Years. Whew! 🥴 Feeling motivated now! Thanks Dr. Berry! 👍👍
I have taken a day and gone off the rails in the past and it's not worth it! Bloated, water gain, headaches, listless, cravings that woke me up! it took me weeks to get back to my keto normal feeling. This time I planned and stayed on track. Your advice is great and I second bacon as a snack for the cravings. The salt, crunch/chew, fat and protein will help a lot.
I always come to your page when I'm looking for motivation and inspiration. I just started back on Keto 7 days ago and I had that one habit that I didn't want to give up. My local coffee shop, everyday I would get an iced coffee with Sugar free Carmel sauce. I thought how bad could be ? Well 3 days in when I still couldn't get into ketosis I decided to give up my last vice, no more iced sugar free Carmel coffee. Boom! That was it! As soon as I gave it up I've been in ketosis consistently for the last 4 days. I decided to go to the website for my favorite my favorite coffee shop and it turns out my morning coffee with the sugar free Carmel had 40-60 grams of carb! So far the most important thing for me has been having healthy options prepared and ready to go. Every few days I put several chicken thighs in the instant pot and shred them. If I've waited to long to eat I just take out some shredded chicken with avocado or melted cheese and I'm good to go. I also boil lots of eggs, and make keto peanut butter cookies. Having those simple options on hand have made this extremely easy to do . I love this channel and look forward to new videos every week.
Then there are those of us who stuck with it 100%... for a total of 32 lbs lost since Ash Wednesday 2020. I have never stopped crazing chocolate but I refuse to give in; I worked too hard putting those temptations aside since February. A big help for me was to be able to retreat to my craft room in another part of the house. Getting seriously involved with my hobby (cardmaking) was a great distraction from all that chocolate hovering in my daydreams, lol. Interesting commentary about Atkins with your colleague... I was one of those who only heard the (inevitable) disinformation that he died from complications of the diet he advocated. Regrets? The only one is that I didn’t start this process decades ago. Thank God for you and the others fighting for the truth!
Looking in from England - full of Christmas cake and Christmas pudding with brandy sauce - it’s 1am and my stomach hurts - your timing Dr is excellent. Thank you for helping me to forgive myself and understand I can get back on track.
Really needed this! Although I cheated very minimal (one sandwich that was made with two slices of white bread ) and two small bag of chips, I feel like I need to get that out of my system. I felt so bad but I knew I could get back on track 😊
I ate two small pieces of my mother’s fudge and went in to a massive anxiety attack and that feeling of hypoglycemia. Took a two hour nap. There’s no way I’m eating a sugar/carb again. It was damn brutal. Two yrs keto, first oopsie. I’m good. Apparently I am extremely carb sensitive.
@@jserink1 I had the shakes and heart palps and a wired feeling for about an hour, then felt like I was going to die so I had to lay down. Surprisingly, that nap helped me through the rest of the god awful symptoms. I really learned my lesson😂
Only been doing carnivore for 13 days. Lost weight too! But after my 12 hour shift today I caved in to 4 toasted bread rolls, 2 giant triangles of white chocolate Toblerone, a few tangy salt and vinegar crisps and a few small glasses of dry white wine. TOTAL 182 carbs!!! (yes I looked them all up!). I'm hoping that I can reverse this if I have zero carbs for 4 days (182 carbs divided by 50 carbs per day = 3.64 days).
I stayed completely carnivore for christmas at my sons, I was surrounded by cookies, sweets and carbs. I'm so happy to see comments that others did as well. I really want to shout it from the roof tops because I'm so damn proud of myself but I hate to sound boastful to those that struggle a little or a lot. But I did it!!
I fell off the wagon last Christmas and even with all I’ve learnt, I still spent the year carb addicted. “This is the last time I eat this. This will be the last time. No, this is the last time. “ Lies I told myself. I was able to be OMAD, but even that was not enough to maintain weight. Mentally, emotionally and physically carb addicted.
I've finally found people like me. I pigged out on Christmas Eve, then fasted on Christmas 48 hours until dinner today. Didn't do it for carbs specifically though, just had too much in general .
Dr B, I totally tore out the frame this year. Consider this post my keto walk of shame and confession... Buttermilk pie, cordial cherries, mac n cheese, 4 dinner rolls with half a stick of butter AND hot pepper jelly, and sweet potato casserole 😭😭😭😭. Breakfast today was coffee and a pound of bacon (minus the dog's 3 rashers) I'm trying, doc, I'm trying!
I love that you are realistic with keto for us regular folk. You don't make me feel bad about a cheat day. You do make me accountable and teach me how I can come back from a bad decision. I love watching your informative videos. Positivety!
Thank you, I really needed this. Halloween candy did me in. I went right back to keto eating the next meal, but I didn’t think it would take so long to get back in ketosis. I will sure think twice before I mess up again.
Yup, I sure did over-do it, dag nabit!!!!! It was my mom's cooking, it sure was good 💕💓💕. Thanks for being so positive, I'm getting back on keto. All those carbs tore my stomach up. You are the voice of reason, thanks Doc 😇😊😇
*_Thanks so much Doc :-( i really needed to hear this. I was shocked to see 10lbs increase in my scale while i was still doing my IF and walk.I sure indulged in more take outs and treats over the last 2 months.Hearing that its not all fat its fluid is making me happy :-).I just did a 24hr water fast yeaterday I am going to do it this whole week same way.Thanks for the video._*
Thank you Dr. Berry. Every time I fall off the wagon I immediately watch your video to give me the motivation I need to restart and leave behind those negative thoughts or feelings... 🙏
So do I. Especially 2 weeks after beeing struggled with Corona, I ate some sweets, pizza, and I felt like you said. Totally depressive, and I didn't know why. And now it's better, since I again left out carbs. During corona infection I fasted for a whole week, maybe that was the reason for the weak symptomatic.
@@alexanderp8826 weakness goes with Corona virus the wife and I both had it the week of Thanksgiving 3 weeks before you even start to feel normal excessive tired
That was my day today. Dec 26th, ate eggs, bacon and salad . Intermittent fasting. I feel so much better. I can't eat doughnuts and cookies anymore, I feel terrible
The 5 bites of pecan pie made me hurt so bad the next day I fasted 24 hrs 😅. I like when my body does that because that motivates me to NEVER EAT IT AGAIN. It is amazing our body knows what is bad!! I plan to do beef/butter when work starts back.
Since I fell off the wagon so to speak at Easter I started keeping a daily handwritten log of things I eat and do during my keto day, this helped me stay the course this Christmas without dealing with the temptation sweets would normally cause for me, Merry Christmas.
This reassurance is just what I needed. I relaxed my Keto regimen over Christmas 2023 (carbs, booze, sugar), only 3 days worth, but keen to get back on the Keto-wagon. I haven't dared weigh myself, but I feel heavier. Not guilty, but rather annoyed that I've ground to make up. Relieved to learn that it shouldn't be as painful as I anticipated. I may allow a day off over New Year's, so fasting from now until New Year's Eve.
🙋Hey Dr. Berry I am SO pleased to say that I stayed 99% on plan. I started Carnivore 3 and 1/2 weeks ago and it is the BEST I have felt in probably 20 years. The 1% I did off plan was Christmas evening when I had organic plain peanut butter with stevia. That's all. To my surprise I felt "Horrible" this morning when I woke up. SO this has shown me that Carnivore has been a God send for me to absolutely KNOW without a doubt that I did a wonderful thing going Carnivore!!! Thanks for all you share. Happy Holidays.👍☺
Totally agree. I cannot believe how great I feel when I go days eating meat only. It’s night and day difference. My goal is to transition to carnivore in 2021, even though my total carbs per day now are around 11.
2 years later, I watch this video to help me get back on track. My cousin, who's also my best friend, just had a wedding and I went all in. Cake, beer, potatos, I was relentless. Its good to hear "Forgive yourself" because sometimes that's the hardest part. Its time to 48 hour fast, and then ease myself back into keto, then likely back into carnivore.
My body was working completely fine just a few days back. Now I feel so bad, my belly is huge, I put on 4 kg, my gut is not feeling nice neither my stomach. It wasn't a clever decision to eat like a maniac..
I was very good, only had one bowl of trifle sweets, straight up, I experienced water retention, just rested, and ate lots of the good Fats, fluid retention gone!
Dr. Berry you understand real life! Thank you for encouraging us to get of rid of shame & guilt for eating Holiday carbs!! Time to pick up my boot straps & apply these steps!! Happy New Year.
So glad i stumbled upon your video today. I have gained that holiday 5. The sweets really did me in this year. I find myself craving carbs and snacks. Im fasting today longer than usual and hoping to hit that 25 hour mark. Thank you for the encouragement!

I ate extra that day & on Christmas, but I'm back in the keto saddle today (Dec. 26th) and feel re-oriented. There is no way I'm going to mess up having reached that goal! Thanks for your encouragement, Dr. Berry!!
I got on keto to stop information and artist pain. The bonus since July 21st 2020 is that I have gone from 273 pounds to 228 pounds.
Two years ago a Doctor told me I was bone on bone and would need Double knee replacement or a wheelchair. Now at 51 I can out run most NFL players in 100 yards. You honestly saved my life with your videos. I could not take the pain any longer just six moths ago.
Thanks Dr. Berry for the pep talk. I've been keto for 6 months now and I've lost 37 pounds. I'm feeling pretty good about that. I fell off the wagon for Christmas day, but I'm getting back on today. I don't feel guilty or bad or anything like that, just determined to continue with this life change. I like being keto and mostly ketovore. Here's to a great year!
I find all the sugary stuff nauseating now. I'm going back to 90% carnivore where I was before. I had the bad stuff over the holidays and I didn't get the pleasure out of it I thought I would.
That's how I quit smoking. Cigarette tasted horrible when I tried to cheat later. Lol! Yay!
Cant restart when you didint cheat. No really, these costco familly size doritos and lays were taunting me for 3 days...not a single bite.
You are a legend! Congratulations!
@@janicemaceachern1004 No we are legends, we all can do it.
Way to go, I’m proud of you 😊
@@dozergetscrafty Lol...I ate a box of tiny cookies and before I knew, they were gone! Just...disappeared!!!
Good job! It's tough when you're on keto and the rest of the household isn't. You can't exactly throw away all of the temptations.
I had lost 150 lbs and reversed my type2 diabetes with Keto and a lot of things I've learned watching your videos. But... the stress of life changes and holidays has allowed me to put back on about 25 lbs... ugh! Time to get back on track! The timing and reminders of this video occurs with perfect timing! Thank you!!
Thank you Dr. Berry. I just had a keto killer birthday and am having a bit of a struggle getting over it. Now I know what I need to do.
Back on since 10-29-21, with a over 10 lb. water loss (yay!) after being off the wagon for about 2 months. I had lost almost 80 lbs., was on the wagon from May 2020 to late August 2021, had some major stressors/life events and completely got derailed. So happy to be “home” back on keto and this time my roommate is on board with me FINALLY! He has COPD, psoriasis and other health issues and I’m so grateful he finally joined me! We are beyond thankful for your & Neisha’s videos.
Thank you Doc, already 18 hours into my fast, and just weighed myself and only gained 3 lbs up to 203 from 200. Started my Journey last July 22nd at 256 lbs. Like I said before, I was so sick and it was your videos that made me realize how to get healthy again.
Thanks doctor Ken - after 4 weeks of doing Keto with yoga I'm wearing jeans I havent worn in years. I refuse to weigh myself as that can be a let down for me, instead I'm using the "how my old clothes fit test". I am 53, male and was addicted to sugar but now I can have people eat candy and chocolate directly in front of me and I do not miss it. I love your vids and how you communicate to us. Thanks again.
Oh please, I've been jacked up for months. I started back today. I got rid of the crap. I really needed this! I was so successful on keto and ended up going back to crap. Many of my symptoms returned. Thank you.
I never went off the Keto Diet,i never gave in to temptation
WHAT!!!! No Christmas cookies, no pecan pie & ice cream, no mashed potatoes & gravy??? Hummm, maybe a little lie or small fib???🤣😋😂
Same here! Stayed on track!!! Severe RA will keep your ass in line that’s for sure! Definitely not worth it! Merry Christmas!
Same! I gave the children some cookies and a few treats, but even they didn’t get a stocking full of sugar. 🤭
Same here. Who needs cookies when you got salmon.
@@kmwheeler6 that’s funny I did the same thing! Deer jerky and blocks of cheese! They were excited so win win! Haha!
Exactly what I needed, especially forgiving myself.
I have started the fast... @7:15pm Dec 27th... I was gonna wait til New Years Day but I'm so over allowing myself to eat CARBage... I'm ready to feel good again... Keto makes me feel FABULOUS!!! Thx for the awesome tips...🤠💕
I've found a new thing that works for me, according to some basic research that we get sugar cravings mainly when we have a low Chromium level. I got a supplement from Amazon and now I see the Little Debbie's that my wife won't leave at the store, but I don't even have to struggle anymore, it's an extreme improvement over my old struggles with sugar.
I am glad to hear that it worked for you. I have been taking cromium for several weeks and did not notice a difference.
@@shaykitoff25 I do magnesium as well, it's for the same reason that I started Keto in '18. I studied what chemicals caused the body to store vs burn fat, then I googled how to get my body in Ketosi, 6 months later I was 70 lbs lighter and my pre-diabetic symptoms disappeared, I don't get crazy acid reflux anymore (it runs in my family and usually leads to throat cancer.) Dr. Berry was a huge help for me, but I fell off a few times after my first year in because I just can't stay away from the sugar, despite knowingthe risks. For the holidays I switch to more of a low-carb diet since cooking is a competition in my family (you'll have to go to world class bakers to find equal desserts) people aren't offended as long as you eat just a small piece.
@@zorabw8948 everyone is different and has different reactions, from what I read Chromium helps transport Tryptophan into the brain, I wonder if it's not a lack of Chromium itself that is the problem, but Tryptophan (note I'm not a doctor, just thinking aloud.)
I needed this today. Starting all over.
Thanks for the words of wisdom after the holidays! I didn't fall hard but I did have a few things I shouldn't 🥺. Believe it or not the taste of them wasn't the same,I am proud to say I've lost 75lbs and I'm down 5 pants sizes.I owe it all to you and your wisdom and thank you!
Hi Doctor! I learned about Keto and IF from you about 4 years ago. I'm 71 and it's been a process and now, I am actually doing Ketovore.
I can go to parties, etc and yes, maybe eat what I normally don't but the next day get right back to it. Maybe doing OMAD, in other words, 23 hour fast.
My body is in such a state that if I eat something out of the norm, I don't miss a beat. No cravings, no hunger pains. It's been an amazing lifelong journey I'm on. 🙏 💪 ♥
Perfect timing! I fell off the wagon just about the time the lockdown hit us on March 17, 20 and didn't end until 6 months later. I've been battling to catch up with the wagon since then. The first of Sept I was diagnosed with COVID, the wonderful virus that just keeps on giving! COVID kicked my IBS into overdrive. BC (before covid) I had to get lots of fiber and the constipation was fine, now I have to eat stuff like white rice, white potatoes, low fiber foods and low fat to keep the diarrhea in check and the intestinal spasms at bay! All the lovely stuff that makes me store fat like crazy! I will have to tailor my keto diet to my IBS because it is really bad right now. I am now full of inflammation and edema so it is going to be a balancing act. Thank you COVID for pointing out every tiny thing that is wrong with my body and making it worse just so I know I have it! Ugh!
I actually fell off the wagon on my summer holiday in September and never got back since, I put on weight and feel very inflamed. I'm definitely going back to my normal OMAD ketovore, but starting with a 48h water fast.
Thank you! I fell off the Keto diet for about a month now because life got so hectic. I needed some encouragement and of course you came through..
I need to RESTART after 2020, not just the holidays. I TOTALLY let myself go this year, Thanks for the tips Dr. Berry!
Let me add: WALKING... I have noticed that NOTHING helps get things moving like SIMPLE WALKING.
I am NOT talking about SPEED Walking, or running, or pushing it.
Fire up a few podcasts, and walk a couple of miles, while fasting...
It burns that glycogen out even faster.
It feels good...
Also, some Mag07 for that "Get Up and Go [#2]". LOL (But that's a product, so you can skip it)
This year I had a few carbs and I feel so much inflamation. Only gained 2 lbs. Thank you for the tips to get back on track.
What does inflammation ferl?.
I am in a. Carboloading binge hangover right now!
I wish I had you as my doctor seriously. I probably would of got rid of this diabetes and neuropathy years ago before I did major damage and the other complications.
I’m watching this in July because I just spent 10 days hospitalized and the glucose IVs and forced carb filled nutrition (I was there for seizures from hypoglycemia ) were the way they treated me and now I feel super horrible. I’ve been clean keto for over two years and having so many bad things put in my body was hugely discouraging.
You had hypoglycemia from two years duration of keto?
Did anybody else have to watch this more than once to get back on track? 😬 Tried to restart after Christmas, did great for two days, then came goodies from neighbors, a birthday in our family, and New Years. Whew! 🥴 Feeling motivated now! Thanks Dr. Berry! 👍👍
I have taken a day and gone off the rails in the past and it's not worth it! Bloated, water gain, headaches, listless, cravings that woke me up! it took me weeks to get back to my keto normal feeling. This time I planned and stayed on track. Your advice is great and I second bacon as a snack for the cravings. The salt, crunch/chew, fat and protein will help a lot.
Loved “forgive yourself”. That’s always a difficult one.
I always come to your page when I'm looking for motivation and inspiration. I just started back on Keto 7 days ago and I had that one habit that I didn't want to give up. My local coffee shop, everyday I would get an iced coffee with Sugar free Carmel sauce. I thought how bad could be ? Well 3 days in when I still couldn't get into ketosis I decided to give up my last vice, no more iced sugar free Carmel coffee. Boom! That was it! As soon as I gave it up I've been in ketosis consistently for the last 4 days. I decided to go to the website for my favorite my favorite coffee shop and it turns out my morning coffee with the sugar free Carmel had 40-60 grams of carb! So far the most important thing for me has been having healthy options prepared and ready to go. Every few days I put several chicken thighs in the instant pot and shred them. If I've waited to long to eat I just take out some shredded chicken with avocado or melted cheese and I'm good to go. I also boil lots of eggs, and make keto peanut butter cookies. Having those simple options on hand have made this extremely easy to do . I love this channel and look forward to new videos every week.
Then there are those of us who stuck with it 100%... for a total of 32 lbs lost since Ash Wednesday 2020. I have never stopped crazing chocolate but I refuse to give in; I worked too hard putting those temptations aside since February. A big help for me was to be able to retreat to my craft room in another part of the house. Getting seriously involved with my hobby (cardmaking) was a great distraction from all that chocolate hovering in my daydreams, lol.
Interesting commentary about Atkins with your colleague... I was one of those who only heard the (inevitable) disinformation that he died from complications of the diet he advocated.
Regrets? The only one is that I didn’t start this process decades ago. Thank God for you and the others fighting for the truth!
What a great counselor you are and your timing is perfect. Thank you for all you do for our community Doc!
Looking in from England - full of Christmas cake and Christmas pudding with brandy sauce - it’s 1am and my stomach hurts - your timing Dr is excellent. Thank you for helping me to forgive myself and understand I can get back on track.
But it's not over till New years
I did good and proud of myself...plus working made it hard to go nuts! Made a ham, mashed caulflower/pumpkin and a keto pecan pie! Was enough for me!
Really needed this! Although I cheated very minimal (one sandwich that was made with two slices of white bread ) and two small bag of chips, I feel like I need to get that out of my system. I felt so bad but I knew I could get back on track 😊
I ate two small pieces of my mother’s fudge and went in to a massive anxiety attack and that feeling of hypoglycemia. Took a two hour nap. There’s no way I’m eating a sugar/carb again. It was damn brutal. Two yrs keto, first oopsie. I’m good. Apparently I am extremely carb sensitive.
I am also. I've been on keto for so long now that I can't even have an afternoon cinnamon roll without my body saying NO. I'm like. yes I will !
@@Worldpeace353 😂 I think my body gets the last say after the argument I had with it the other day. I never want to feel that way again.
You could sleep after carbs?
Wow, lucky you. I was up for 2 days after a chocolate covered almonds binge.
@@jserink1 I had the shakes and heart palps and a wired feeling for about an hour, then felt like I was going to die so I had to lay down. Surprisingly, that nap helped me through the rest of the god awful symptoms. I really learned my lesson😂
First day back in the gym since last Saturday! This is exactly what I needed to hear🙏🏼
Lucky. I live in a terrible blue state where it has become clear nothing will ever open back up
I was just thinking, well Christmas is over, time to get back on the train and bam this video popped up. Perfect timing sir!
Thank you! I chuckled a little when I saw this pop up. My bf and I were discussing this. I will be sure to show him!👊🏼
Just what I need. I’ve been off for a year now and gained 30. Time to get back to it!!
I haven't been off and gained 25...what the hell? Time to fast and figure this out. 😊
All the best to you both!!
Much respect, Dr. Berry!
Only been doing carnivore for 13 days. Lost weight too! But after my 12 hour shift today I caved in to 4 toasted bread rolls, 2 giant triangles of white chocolate Toblerone, a few tangy salt and vinegar crisps and a few small glasses of dry white wine. TOTAL 182 carbs!!! (yes I looked them all up!).
I'm hoping that I can reverse this if I have zero carbs for 4 days (182 carbs divided by 50 carbs per day = 3.64 days).
I stayed completely carnivore for christmas at my sons, I was surrounded by cookies, sweets and carbs. I'm so happy to see comments that others did as well. I really want to shout it from the roof tops because I'm so damn proud of myself but I hate to sound boastful to those that struggle a little or a lot. But I did it!!
Holidays are not over until New year's day🥳🥳
I fell off the wagon last Christmas and even with all I’ve learnt, I still spent the year carb addicted. “This is the last time I eat this. This will be the last time. No, this is the last time. “ Lies I told myself. I was able to be OMAD, but even that was not enough to maintain weight. Mentally, emotionally and physically carb addicted.
I've finally found people like me. I pigged out on Christmas Eve, then fasted on Christmas 48 hours until dinner today.
Didn't do it for carbs specifically though, just had too much in general .
Dr B, I totally tore out the frame this year. Consider this post my keto walk of shame and confession... Buttermilk pie, cordial cherries, mac n cheese, 4 dinner rolls with half a stick of butter AND hot pepper jelly, and sweet potato casserole 😭😭😭😭.
Breakfast today was coffee and a pound of bacon (minus the dog's 3 rashers) I'm trying, doc, I'm trying!
YES!!!🎉
Hold that thought!!! Going to visit family, it ain’t over yet 😩 but I’ll do all this when I get back, starting with the 48 hr water fast!!!
Me too...tomorrow through Sat. 🤗
Yes, had a lot of keto treats and side dishes but still went over my carbs.
I love that you are realistic with keto for us regular folk. You don't make me feel bad about a cheat day. You do make me accountable and teach me how I can come back from a bad decision. I love watching your informative videos. Positivety!
I appreciate that you reshare these videos in your community posts so we don't have to dig for them. It seems like they rotate just as I need them.
Thank you, I really needed this. Halloween candy did me in. I went right back to keto eating the next meal, but I didn’t think it would take so long to get back in ketosis.
I will sure think twice before I mess up again.
I am so glad to know I’m not alone! I have over indulged this season for sure and am grateful for these tips to get me back on track!
Thank you for this wonderful video! I cheated for 2 days and ate a whole lot of desserts. Your guidance is perfect for my situation.
Yup, I sure did over-do it, dag nabit!!!!! It was my mom's cooking, it sure was good 💕💓💕. Thanks for being so positive, I'm getting back on keto. All those carbs tore my stomach up. You are the voice of reason, thanks Doc 😇😊😇
Some fantastic tips for the new year. Thanks Dr. Berry.
Thanks Ryan!!!
*_Thanks so much Doc :-( i really needed to hear this. I was shocked to see 10lbs increase in my scale while i was still doing my IF and walk.I sure indulged in more take outs and treats over the last 2 months.Hearing that its not all fat its fluid is making me happy :-).I just did a 24hr water fast yeaterday I am going to do it this whole week same way.Thanks for the video._*
Thank you Dr. Berry. Every time I fall off the wagon I immediately watch your video to give me the motivation I need to restart and leave behind those negative thoughts or feelings... 🙏
yep! I cheated and I felt like crap, felt like I was hungover!
So do I. Especially 2 weeks after beeing struggled with Corona, I ate some sweets, pizza, and I felt like you said. Totally depressive, and I didn't know why. And now it's better, since I again left out carbs.
During corona infection I fasted for a whole week, maybe that was the reason for the weak symptomatic.
@@alexanderp8826 weakness goes with Corona virus the wife and I both had it the week of Thanksgiving 3 weeks before you even start to feel normal excessive tired
yup fell off july 4th...gained back 35 lbs more or less....ty for the refresher course Doc..
That was my day today. Dec 26th, ate eggs, bacon and salad . Intermittent fasting.
I feel so much better. I can't eat doughnuts and cookies anymore, I feel terrible
The 5 bites of pecan pie made me hurt so bad the next day I fasted 24 hrs 😅. I like when my body does that because that motivates me to NEVER EAT IT AGAIN. It is amazing our body knows what is bad!! I plan to do beef/butter when work starts back.
Since I fell off the wagon so to speak at Easter I started keeping a daily handwritten log of things I eat and do during my keto day, this helped me stay the course this Christmas without dealing with the temptation sweets would normally cause for me, Merry Christmas.
Thanks Ken! Love your help!
I stayed totally clean, but still thanks Doc 🙏🏻
I am impressed.
Bravo
I am with you! Too much trouble going back and forth. Why tempt the beast within?
I fell off in August. But boy I was out of control the last 2 weeks! Time to get back at it!
This is so helpful. I’m ready to fix the mess I chose to get into, so thanks for the tips and for calling me out about hiding the treats!
I'm restarting post start of Covid then breast cancer/chemo. Starting back carnivore hard-core! Lol
I wish you every blessing on your journey. The Keto way of life will help with the symptoms of cancer and chemotherapy.
dooler72 God bless you 💕
God bless you during your treatment.🙏🏾💓
Totally helped! I'm ready to purge and get back to keto! I love the holiday food, but my body isn't!
This reassurance is just what I needed. I relaxed my Keto regimen over Christmas 2023 (carbs, booze, sugar), only 3 days worth, but keen to get back on the Keto-wagon. I haven't dared weigh myself, but I feel heavier. Not guilty, but rather annoyed that I've ground to make up. Relieved to learn that it shouldn't be as painful as I anticipated. I may allow a day off over New Year's, so fasting from now until New Year's Eve.
I was off keto for years...mostly during covid shut down. I am getting back!!! Need to feel good again and reset.
Thank you Dr. Berry, you're the best!
Thank you Dr. Berry.🙏🏼
🙋Hey Dr. Berry
I am SO pleased to say that I stayed 99% on plan. I started Carnivore 3 and 1/2 weeks ago and it is the BEST I have felt in probably 20 years. The 1% I did off plan was Christmas evening when I had organic plain peanut butter with stevia. That's all. To my surprise I felt "Horrible" this morning when I woke up. SO this has shown me that Carnivore has been a God send for me to absolutely KNOW without a doubt that I did a wonderful thing going Carnivore!!! Thanks for all you share. Happy Holidays.👍☺
Totally agree. I cannot believe how great I feel when I go days eating meat only. It’s night and day difference. My goal is to transition to carnivore in 2021, even though my total carbs per day now are around 11.
@@Angel-rv1mt
🙋Wow!!! That's great!!! Congratulations🎉
2 years later, I watch this video to help me get back on track. My cousin, who's also my best friend, just had a wedding and I went all in. Cake, beer, potatos, I was relentless. Its good to hear "Forgive yourself" because sometimes that's the hardest part. Its time to 48 hour fast, and then ease myself back into keto, then likely back into carnivore.
My body was working completely fine just a few days back. Now I feel so bad, my belly is huge, I put on 4 kg, my gut is not feeling nice neither my stomach. It wasn't a clever decision to eat like a maniac..
I was very good, only had one bowl of trifle sweets, straight up, I experienced water retention, just rested, and ate lots of the good Fats, fluid retention gone!
Yep guilt was wreaking havoc to the point of not getting back to it.so Thank you Dr Berry !
Dr. Berry you understand real life! Thank you for encouraging us to get of rid of shame & guilt for eating Holiday carbs!! Time to pick up my boot straps & apply these steps!! Happy New Year.
Eat bacon and eggs. What is there to dislike about bacon & eggs?
Every day
Bacon fast
The egg part
The smell of bacon is fantastic.
J Langhorn
Scrambled egg yolks are pretty tasty. They go perfectly with streaky bacon
Couldn't meet with the family so that saved me! 😂
So glad i stumbled upon your video today. I have gained that holiday 5. The sweets really did me in this year. I find myself craving carbs and snacks. Im fasting today longer than usual and hoping to hit that 25 hour mark. Thank you for the encouragement!
