This awsome...on keto for almost 5 months and lost almost 50lbs. I now weigh 130lbs like I did 20yrs ago in school. Feel so good! Thank you Dr. Berg!!💕
I've been watching these videos for a couple of months, along with a few other TH-camrs passionate Nutrition and Health folks (Christopher Gardner, Mike Todorovic, Sten Ekberg and Wendy Suzuki). I was 298 pounds (I'm 62 years old - 5'9) in January 2021. I lost 40 pounds my first year, sticking to organic food (mainly Keto), little sugar and low carbs. I kept the weight off, but in April, I started taking things more seriously. Your videos are EXCELLENT. When adding daily exercise, and fasting 20-24 hours per day, eating no grains, processed foods, or starches, I lost another 20 pounds, but instead of water weight, it's fat. I am rapidly becoming an agent of change among my friends and family. I started studying nutritional science and body chemistry- how what we consume interacts and effects our anatomy and physiology- it is FASCINATING.. and it all started with your videos. THANK YOU for keeping things simple and to the point- it keeps me coming back for more!
Dr Berg THANK YOU ! I was diagnosed with type 2 and refused to take the medication. The integrated health provider told me it takes a lot of hard work , "I said I'll do the had work"! I went cold turkey on no carbs such as Chips, biscuits, pancakes, rice, pasta, bread and sweets. Wowza! I experienced that keto flu pretty quick you talked about. Started eating a lot of veggies & salad , some tuna and salmon. Then I discovered your videos. I'm so grateful 🙏 Immediately what you named and explained resonated with me. I didn't understand. I wish you had a clinic/health retreat that I could come to. I'm a two Time C survivor and cardiac patient. I am feeling more hopeful and physically better but still need to be educated. I watch your videos every day now. 😊 God bless and thank you again. Ely, MN
My mother, 93, got off of insulin shots at 92. Doing only low carb because liver is very limited. Teeth are not very functional for large salads. Mostly well done greens and eggs and meats. Surely you can beat that diagnosis and find more joy. We make lentil bread and eat chickpea flour for gravies and filling soups.
Thanks Doc! I lost 50 pounds over a 2 year period. I feel so much better. High blood pressure is gone and I am no longer pre-diabetic. I also removed all toxic people from my life and the diet changed helped me see I needed that. You're the best!
I rarely comment, but I feel I should, because with this information mixed with a little will power and determination, I've achieved one of the most difficult challenges of modern life: weight loss. I'm a 58 year-old male, medium height and I reduced from almost 180 lbs to under 160 lbs in less than 3 months. I just wanted to share some specifics and timing of my intake (sample): Morning (9ish): big glass of lemon water w/ACV, french press coffee w/organic heavy cream. Then a light workout, stretching and sprinting, etc 30 minutes, every other day.. Noon: eggs with veggies (cauliflowered rice is a great sub for rice) avocado, cheese 4ish : tea/coffee, water (sparkling or flat) 6ish: protein with salad, usually seafood like shrimp, salmon, or halibut, and a home-made dressing of vegan mayo, dijon whole grain mustard, balsamic, olive oil, pink salt, pepper.. Note: a tasty treat is 100% cacao with some nut butter and pink salt I have also had cheat days, veggie pizza being one choice, and ice cream occasionally.. I should note that I have not had any alcohol during this time, and I've come to realize that it has not been as difficult as I thought..my body worked with me as I progressed. Haven't felt this good in years!
Thank you Dr. Berg...got my yearly labs back..almost all categories in the GREEN...No longer any traces of type 2 Diabetes, lost 60 lbs, blood pressure normal, swollen ankles gone..feeling 20 years younger. A year ago I felt like death..edema, over 300 lbs, could barely walk. Found your videos, started Keto in September of last year and the rest is history...God bless you.
I've been doing Keto since March 1st 2018. I lost 78 pounds the first year and then I lost my way a little bit. I didn't gain the second year, but I didn't lose either. I have been just getting by. SO I'm not new to your channel but I felt I needed to revisit the basics and get serious again. I just celebrated my 47th birthday and after eating all of the things that I have been without, I remembered why I began this lifestyle in the first place. Ugh! I feel terrible!! After consuming too much food and too many refined carbs on my birthday, I asked my boyfriend "How did we used to eat like this ALL THE TIME??" He answered "Because we were miserable but didn't realize how miserable we were!" Thank you for continuing to educate! We love your content!
Honestly I respect Dr. Berg but I am a whole food vegan who consumes lots of healthy carbs. I need them for energy and glucose, yet I have no trouble with my weight and I am very physically active. I can eat whatever I want and will not get heavy. Fats are important but I doubt I consume any more than 30% fats. Look up the "Broad" study, it allowed people the ability to eat anything in any amount as long as it was whole food and plant foods only. People lost an average of 19 pounds each and even 1 year later did not gain more weight. It is the most successful weight loss study every conducted. cheers on your journey.
Doing 20:4 intermittent fasting for 1 week. Have lost 3.5kgs already. Taking MCT oil, eating eggs, spinach, meat and fish only. Thank you so much Dr.Eric. Love from India
Thank you so much Dr. Berg for making all those videos. I lost 30 lbs. and I feel great. I am NOT hungry, my whole health status has improved. God bless you... you helped so many people. Thank you over and over again.
What happens is that most people work during the day and they r tired and hungry at night when they can cook and are so hungry they eat a lot… and even if they haven’t had enough time to allow for digestion…they are so sleepy they can’t wait and sleep. Force their body to get up early to work… but their body is full of quasi digested food…they cannot be hungry in the morning. Under those conditions (full stomach) some force breakfast and problems start
IF go as long as you can Try 2 meals in a 4 hour window. That gives you 20 hrs of fasting (4 eggs a day, avocado, some cheese, bacon, nut butters, vegetables [salads, raw or steam vegetables], olive oil balsamic vinaigrette for dressing, salmon or sardines or seafood, fat bomb, chicken with skin, wings, moderate protein, sages, olives [fat], apple cider vinegar, coffee [fat coffee or reg]. If you have an urge to fat it usually means you need more fat. Use sea salt. Best time to exercise in the morning while you’re fasting. You know you’re in ketosis is when you have no cravings, you’re not hungry anymore.
hi phillip. its going perfect. this sunday wull be 4 weeks. i dont weight myself. But i think ive lost about 2 inches. going by how my clothes fit . etc
carolyn bohannon I'm 70 and I've been on it for about 1 &1/2 months and I've lost almost 24 lbs. and have never felt better in my life! I'm not on meds either and I want to stay that way too. Feel like a new person... I have a coach also...
Started gradually 14/10 intermittent fasting /keto, May. 2023, I'm down to 20/4, my eating window is now 2-6 pm, two meals a day, no sneaking. I'm 65 F. I feel great and take no prescription medication.
You could always grow your own produce in your home garden. Gardens can be grown indoors in potplants or 2ℓ bottles adapted to that purpose. You won't use too much water either. I can't help you with chickens and eggs as that depends on your local by-laws.
On November 5, 2022. I started to attempt keto and intermittent fasting. Hard for me to adapt. However, my son does it and he’s been doing it over a year and lost 50 pounds. He has been encouraging me because I have diabetes and almost have kidney failure but your first healthy keto video and the second are enlightening for me. I now understand it much better. Go keto an I. F. PLUS I personally decided to stop diabetes medication and insulin. Glucose readings have been better without the meds.
this is probably the most useful dieting video I've seen so far, and a better explanation of what Keto actually is. I've had some misconceptions about Keto, but this makes more sense.
I literally just started last week , and I’m down 8 pounds. I could’ve even believe it I feel great !! Still lifting strong at the gym too ! Fasting 18-22 hours a day and doing keto as well. I am so happy my wife sent me a link to watch your videos. Thanks for your knowledge Dr
71 year old female here, packing the Covid 19 (pounds) and a few extra. I caught your video on ACV in water to lose weight and get off sugar, and it led me to all your keto information. Instead of being disgusting, the ACV/water combo was absolutely delicious! That was so right-on, I started about 4 days ago with a muddled version of Keto, but at least I cut out the sugar and known carbs. (Didn't know grapefruit and blueberries are a no-no.) I don't have a scale, but immediately, I had more energy, more stamina, better ability to concentrate - important because I am a writer and journalist-podcaster who needs her brain to be sharp. Every day I've been watching a few more of your videos and learning the rules of the road/tricks of the trade. IF today for the first time and amazed at how long I was just not even thinking about food. When I was overwhelmed with the desire to snack last night, I had asparagus w/ACV and olive oil rather than a wedge of cheese. Sleeping better, dreams clearer... and my pants are loose! Don't have a scale so I don't know the poundage, but I can see the loss of bloat in my face - there are angles and bones in there! Even more important, and something I don't see in any of the videos so far, is the change in my mood. From years of carrying around a low grade depression compounded by physical weakness, I suddenly feel... not just "better," but optimistic and (dare I say it) happy! When one gets to this age, there is always the fear that it's never going to get any better and it's all downhill from here. HAH! Keto is putting that to a lie. Walked double my usual distance today (my dog takes me for two walks a day) and felt like I could have done more. Have I finally found the way to eat that my body's been needing all these years? Is this not a "kook fad" but a truly scientific way to nourish my body for my best possible life? More will be revealed... including my hip bones. Thanks, Dr. Berg!
@@ellenkno5233 I have seen a video on this channel promoting blueberries as very good and especially with a plain no fat yogurt mix. Not sure re grapefruit but have seen it promoted else where as a healthy option to have with breakfast.
Really could use some help.. I'm on medication for chronic medical conditions that causes severe pain and anxiety medication..how does dieting work for me.. plus I am 45 and believe I'm perimenopausal..appt scheduled. I used to only eat when I was hungry but since COVID I gained 40 pounds and trying to learn how to get it off
For those who are struggling with not eating. I suggest drinking black coffee n the morning, 2 hours after you wake. It'll suppress hunger all day, and now over 2 weeks of regular fasting, my minimum is 20-24 hours of fasting, no cravings no nothing. often I go over that and stop at 28 hours. The longer the best. I've noticed my heart palpitations have disappeared, and previous illnesses have subsided if not one altogether. Our bodies are marvelous things.
It is crazy that this is so unpopular because of corporate greed. Thank you for actually changing lives and sharing with us. We are listening and you are doing us a great service.
@@heenanyou it's about keto diet, which eliminates (most) carbs, and in case you haven't noticed, most big international food companies (macdonalds, subway, oreo.. etc) are based off of carbs and transformed foods So eating healthy keto means you'll be eating WAY less carbs and transformed foods and in turn buying less from these big companies
@@huitrecouturecholesterol is not a bad thing. It's the inflammation from high sugar and processed foods that cause coronary Artery disease, not cholesterol. There are lean mass hyper responders who get elevated lipids from keto diets, but most people become metabolically healthy with low carb high fat ways of eating.
Have been on heathy Keto OMAD diet for a week already and I’m completely blown away how I don’t crave anything at all after I have eaten and feel super stable and clear minded.
Just saw this guy in the phone store and he says he lost 70lbs in three months with no exercise using this system. He recommended me to this channel! He looks great!
I'd heard about you from my mom, but it's happened, I finally started watching your videos, and now all of a sudden, I'm addicted. I feel better just watching and listening. It gives me hope I can be healthy.
Dr Berg you're extremely in depth with explaining this keto diet. You've broken down the little things that I didn't even think about. I started fasting yesterday and I went for 19 hours without even thinking about it. I exercises while fasting and the energy level was insane. Today is day 2 and it's now 10:14 am and I've been fasting since 8pm yesterday.
We were told: breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Lunch with 3-4 rounds, after a sweat, at 4 o clock sommething to snack and at 6 eating again 🤦♀️ my parents are still struggeling while I for years am thin and do it completely different. Thank you for the prove I'm right 😍😘
@@terrymckenzie8786 it's not starving if your body is functioning correctly and the hunger hormone is suppressed. Watch a few more videos and learn about human physiology
I totally agree! I was starting to eat a little too much protein, then started eating a little something here and there between meals and I started gaining some weight back. I re-watched these starter videos and effortlessly got right back on track.
Thank You Dr Berg! I have found that I can get up at 6-7am and have my first meal at 12:30 or 1pm. Then I have supper around 6pm . Once or twice a week I can go until 4-5pm for my OneMeal A Day. And I feel great!
Hey Dr. Berg. I just wanted to thank you for your advice on this channel. I started Keto and IF in january, and i've already lost 50 pounds. It was surprising how easy it was to adapt to this diet. With other diets i was always hungry, starving myself, basically just a pain, just waiting to get back to stuff myself with junkfood. Right now i just feel satiated after every meal, i barely go hungry, my mental clarity is through the roof, and ofcourse because of my lost weight, i can walk around more freely and just be happy in my skin. Thanks again! Jeroen from the Netherlands.
@@Simba______ Or maybe he wants to be specific but doesn't have time for a page or more of information. Everyone is different with different taste in the spectrum of Keto nourishment. It's not what he eats, it's what works for you in the Keto diet plan. You can do it !
Dr Burg, I have been following you recommendations and watching your videos for about a year. Following these recommendations I have lost 20 lbs but I have also completely reversed my kidney damage ❤ thank you so much 🎉
Good job. Keep up the good work. Would you like to share your Keto/ IF success story on my website? I'd be happy to see your story there. Feel free to upload your story here: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story
I am mostly bedridden from Lyme disease, and a messed up, infected foot from a botched surgery which has been neglected by my state since 2007. Moving is difficult, exercise is extremely difficult.. and I am still losing weight, while gaining muscle! Incredible!! Thank you so much, Dr. Berg!
I love this, I have followed Dr Berg for 2 years and am really healthy at 54. I now look 34, seriously, autophagy is a miracle. Sadly I am allergic to fish, thats a bummer for me.
This one is my favorite IF + KETO HEALTHY VERSION > 10 am and 6 pm + KETO HEALTHY VERSION ( 50% Veggies, 25% fats, 25% protein ). I feel alway energetic and not always hungry like before. And i also remove all my sugar food that cause me craving. Base in my research the more you eat sugar the more you will hungry.
Thank you for being serious and not laughing. Listening to Mark hyman and he was giving good information, but laughing at belly fat is not funny. I'm 60 yrs old 250lbs frustrated with my life and body and wanting to get better. I'm hurt that he was laughing. Sigh I'm trying to intermittent fasting and it's working that's because of you and your seriousness, thank you for caring and staying on TH-cam bless you! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm also 60 and want to be healthier. Seeing my older siblings with health issues scares me. I'm doing well myself. Hope you are staying with this lifestyle & feeling good 🎉
I too have a slow metabolism and have finally found this Keto/Intermittent fasting eating plan and it has changed my life! I have lost 50 pounds in 21 weeks. I still have 49 more pounds to go. I would just like to say thank you to Dr. Berg for his educational videos. I now understand why I couldn't lose weight all those years.
I think it's great that you've lost that much weight, but that's still an average of a little over 10 pounds a month, you can do that on a regular weight watcher kinda program.....so what makes you pro the keto diet?
@@justrandom8766 thanks for ur reply, but actually i did get the complete guide /plan, as there r so many videos of dr. Eric on keto. That's why i am asking.
Hi Bro, I am a newbie and interested to find out more from you about the keto diet. You have lost 19lbs. How much bodyfat you have lost through week 3?
I’m on my second week of keto as a pescatarian. I started the 12:12 for the first week and now I’m on the 16:8 … I start eating at noon and I can’t believe how two meals a day has been filling me up perfectly and it’s much more enjoyable then when I was constantly snacking. I was eating what you’d considered really healthy, I was 230lbs and came down to 195 but I plateaued for a couple months now because of my insulin levels. I always snacked on fruit especially frozen mangoes. so now let’s see if keto and IF takes the rest of that weight off because I’d like to be around 175.
So, half a year on keto - no weight loss!! Of course i will loose some when fasting, but that's nothing new!!! I just don't know what to do anymore! OK, I am post- menopausal, but I eat only 2 meals a day, exercise and eat no carbs or processed foods for month now!! I feel so discouraged reading all these comments about - to me- wonderful success stories!
I’m 71 and on medication for heart failure. I’ve got to take the meds more or less on the same time in the morning and in the evening. So I’m doing my own IF, which means my fasting periods are shorter BUT I’ve slowly lost 11lbs. I’ll try and make some more changes after watching your video. So hard to notice that there’s no fruit that you’re allowed!
Honestly keto is a miracle for me. I’ve been veggie and I’m 68. I’ve never felt so well. My cravings for sweet treats has gone, my mental health and energy is up and my hunger pangs have gone. Give it a try.
Thank you dr. Berg. You freed me from the idea that I HAD to eat breakfast... It never sat wright with me, but I ate anyway, because ”breakfast is the most important meal of the day”. Now I can finally skip this meal without any sense of unnecessary guilt. :)
Breakfast always seemed like a "Force Feed" to me,even as a child. Hurry up & eat before school, then as an adult" hurry & eat before work. I stopped it (way before I was introduced to healthy eating) I just ate lunch & dinner. Eating that early always made me groggy. Made me wonder how many other parents told their kids to eat breakfast even if they weren't hungry.
I cannot afford to let my health go anymore...back on Dr Berg's expertise and get on the road to heath once again! You're a blessing, Dr Berg! God bless you😊
I did Intermittent fasting 16:8 when I was flaring up from Ulcerative Colitis for 1 month now and I have never felt healthier. I feel like my stomach is on meditation and healing when I am fasting. I eat between 12 noon to 8 pm. Between that time I drink coffee, tea or apple juice. Normally when I am flaring up from UC, I feel so tired and don’t want to do anything after work but just lie down and stay in bed. Intermittent Fasting and Keto diet really helped me a lot on my energy level and not pooping 20 or more times a day. I found Dr. Berg through TH-cam recommendation and I am so glad that I did. He helped me a lot in informations I need to start taking care of myself and motivated me to go further with my fasting. I lost 3 kilos in a month and most of them are around the belly area. Thank you Dr. Berg. Keep doing what you’re doing and save a lot of people.
Dr Berg, Thank you for giving me the tools to learn about health. I'm in my 50s and grew up with horrible habits and was always a bit over weight and certainly unhealthy. Since finding your channel years ago, I understand and respect my health/body. I am no longer over weight and I really appreciate your influence.
These videos are wonderful! I did a year long weight loss program with a doctor that prescribes keto, and he’s a great doctor, but I learned more in these last two videos than I did in that year.
Really glad to see this. Keto has been life changing for me, and it's hilarious to me that I only started it to prove to myself that it didn't work. Not only did it stop my weight gain, an inexorable curse I hadn't been able to kick, but it drastically reduced my allergies and eliminated pain I didn't even know I had until it was gone. I couldn't do my current job without the mental clarity it gives me, so I can credit it directly for advancement of my career. Can't recommend keto highly enough! Watch out for misinformation and products that claim to be keto friendly, but aren't. Read the label!
I went on a sugar fast a while ago, no sodas, juices, sweets, candy, etc and the mental clarity was unreal... that's probably the biggest benefit of sugar free eating and keto tbh.
I put my phone in my back pocket with my earphones on while cooking lunch for the next day (not breakfast). I feel more motivated and your videos keep me on track. Thank you Dr. Berg!
a tip for a good keto drink is lactos free milk or almond milk, coconut milk something like that (anything without sugar) mixed with cacao (just 100% powder no additives) and then a big lump of coconut grease in there and heat it up and stir. so basically just a cup of hot coconut-chocolate! i dont like coconut fat in coffee because it messes with the taste but with hot chocolate it works well. try it out.
You sound like a 52 year young female. I am 54, and I feel younger than I did at 20. Weird. Intermittent fasting and high quality supplements helps. It actually works.
I'm a 52 year old female, I'd developed hypothyroidism, after listening to Dr Berg, keto diet is the only thing that would help me lose 20 pounds,and I feel better now than I did when I was 20!
I am 63, and lost over 29 kgs, I not only look ten years younger, but feel heaps better on keto, when I stray away from it, I feel as if I am older, plus heavier. So the best thing to so is try to stick always to the keto. I love the awe on peoples faces when I tell them how old I am. Haha, vanity I know, but I used to feel so bad before. Still have to lose more, as I am not at goal by all means, but it is not that far. :)
Hello! Today it is my 100 day on Keto and OMAD and thanks to Dr Berg and this pattern I have lost 13 kilos and I just feel great! My blood values, electrolytes, sugar, magnesium etc are all in the normal parameters. I feel not bloating any more, no fatigue and I was hungry only at the begining about 3-4 days. I still watch the videos of Dr. Berg to maintain my motivation because I want to keep Keto and IF for the rest of my life. PS My whole skin is more luminous and clean. Thank you, Dr. Berg and nice greetings from Austria!

Will share my story once achieved on your link above! Thanks! @@Drberg
I’m 82 and a Diabetic. I’m impressed by your video. I fight hard trying to live longer in spite the conditions of my health. Neuropathy, heart failure etc, I take different natural supplements. I’m on 11 medication on a daily basis. I’m interested in following your Keto food intake. Thank you Dr. Berg. I’m from Hawaii.🌺 P.S. Matter of fact I’m don’t get hungry in the early mornings. I have my breakfast around 10:30-11a.m. I just have my coffee when I wake up in the morning. ☕️🌼
Hi there. Glad to know that you are doing your best to improve your health. Sharing my videos on how to start healthy keto: www.youtube.com/@Drberg/search?query=keto%20beginner
Yes I was a big believer of the importance of breakfast, it even sounded logical to me. This is a complete change for me. I'll today though. Maybe the body and system adaptation.
That term was used basically when working in farm life....then it moved on to regular schedule for everyone .....it ultimately fats you up and thats where cancer, diabetes, and most illness stems from. Even if you Fast first thing in the day.....you still have energy .
I love pancakes (the perfect vehicle to transport maple syrup into my mouth), but could never eat them during the daytime, because even one would put me in a sugar/carb induced coma for the rest of the day. I would be more functional, clear headed and awake having vodka martinis for breakfast.
Loving the new journey - I started watching Dr Eric's videos and everything he said made sense and I had no problems understanding the concept of ketosis. But after 3 weeks of strict keto eating I was getting worried as nothing happened then bang it all started to happen and the weight is now moving so Ive lost 2 kilos in the past week. I've never been a big eater and have always fasted so eating at 6pm then nothing until 1 or 2pm the next day is a perfectly natural thing for me. Im 56 and have been trying to lose menopausal weight for a number of years. I used to be a normal 60kilo and was this for all my adult life then wham, over the past 10 years Ive had 20 kilos creep on up and remain solid neither up or down for the past 2 years no matter how much I trained, dieted etc... Now Im into my 4th week on keto and Im eating between 1pm and 6pm, drinking my acv drink twice daily, Im not hungry and then when I am, its at about 1-2pm. I still walk 5-10km a day and Im not bloated anymore, my gut is starting to actually not distend after each meal and my diverticulitis is not as noticeable and quite calm. It will be interesting to see how the rosacea goes and if my joints stop hurting... I previously just put it down to getting old and such is life and had given up... but now Im super excited to stay on this journey... Im not even missing my evening glass of wine! no cravings for it whatsoever.... So my little fatty liver is thanking Dr Eric ...
WOW! This is inspiring! I'm also 56 and am currently going through the same struggles you've had. I'm researching using Dr. Berg's channel to gain as much knowledge as possible to start a new way of living Jan 1 2022. I'm taking the next 2 weeks to figure out what foods I need to purchase and how to have a successful go at this new lifestyle. Looking forward to losing 25lbs, looking and feeling healthier and no lower back pain. Wish me luck!
THANK YOU!! I tried this when it first came out and of course did it all wrong. Gained weight and felt horrible. The key thing missing was to eat the veggies. I love that you have helped to make it healthy.
The best Doctor and a human on TH-cam. Dr. Berg helped thousands of people. Including myself and my husband, who is stubborn to any healthy advice, but Berg's😅 Dr. Berg is the only one on our daily list to watch for years, unlike occasional others. God Bless you and your family with health and abundance!❤
@@lightbeingpontifex not anymore. Keto is the way to go on staying healthy while losing weight. I’m 5 feet tall and used to weigh around 132 lbs. I reached my target weight of 105 lbs.🤗
I was having trouble losing weight and I started listening to Dr. Berg and I am on keto and intermittent fasting and I just lost 12 pounds I am so excited. It works so well. I really follow him a lot and I am so happy thank you Dr. Berg just wanted to let everyone know I am so excited to lose rest of my weight and feel much better. Also I noticed I do not crave alcohol which is very amazing. I was a wine drinker at night and I find that I don’t need it. Interesting. It is so cool I love this diet keto intermittent fasting. I never thought in 1 million years that I’d be fasting every morning it just didn’t happen before but now it’s very easy and I love it
Why can’t American doctors listen to this advice? As a group they tend to be cynical about nutrition and weight loss. This info has made a huge difference to me. Thank you Dr Berg!
I’m a doc and they didn’t teach us crap about nutrition…. They didn’t teach us how to live healthy so we couldn’t tell others how to be healthy. Healthy patients dont give us income! Big Pharm just pushes drug to us that we then push on our patients. Cynical docs will say - my patients are not interested in lifestyle changes, they just want a pill to fix things. I personally started IF 2 months ago and have lost 25 pounds… was inspired because my Hgb A1C was elevated and I wasn’t eating the way I should and I was 35 pounds overweight with high BP. I’m personally getting healthy now. I don’t do primary care but I’m sure telling my peers how my life is healthier. B
I’ve been IF about 8 weeks now and have gone from 171 to 163. I’m a 5’2” woman, 65. This is good because I worked on losing with a dietitian and the weight wouldn’t budge. I’d been 170 for 2 years, now I’m almost to what my was before (160 for 2 years and before 140-145 for a few). Just gotta keep going to 128! FYI. I still feel hunger pangs though; yet crave no particular food. And cheat with diet soda every couple days. Trying to quit. I eat only one meal a day. Just started the big salad and it’s great! Got my big salad bowl on Amazon 😊
I'm 5'2" also and my thyroid troubles made my wt zoom from a steady 150 to 220! I was heartsick but the Dr's were not much help - some but not enough. I don't do diet anything but otherwise i coild have written your post. Thanks for sharing, it encourages me. I.F. is helping me a little but I want the old me back, and it would benefit my husband too.
Wonderful! I just ordered the electrolites raspberry and lemon and I have never felt better. I lost 20 lbs so far and I am never hungry. I am eating my vegetables and they are delicious. I can actually walk a mile without breaking a sweat even climb the stairs 3 times with no problems. You are truly the greatest!
Already lost over 35lbs doing keto following Dr Berg advice. I was 165lbs. Coming back to center myself to remind myself what the best options are. I am now back on ketosis since i had gained around 10 lbs after straying away. I weigh now like 138 5'2 roughly and want to lose about 10 lbs minimum. Thanks Dr Berg for having these video up still. I DONT trust everyone online and I havent seen anyone get as specific as you do!
5th day on the plan 2 meals a day. Dropped weight fast by fourth day went down a pant size. On the 5th day I still was not hungry by 1:00P.m with 20 hrs fasting. I went on ahead and ate at 1:00 because I did not want to have an adverse effect if any. But I could have gone even longer without eating.
I started keto for the 2nd time about 5 months ago. I’m doing intermittent fasting-not for a bikini body, but for scaring away type2 diabetes. I’m basically getting thin by eating. I tell people I want to make my life non-food centric but it is completely food centric!😂😂 I’ve lost 40 pounds! I’m living on salads and hamburgers-and salmon and steak! I buy a whole chicken (cheap) and bake it , eat the chicken and then boil the bones and drink the soup with fresh greens. I’m starting to love my own cooking so much!! I eat cabbage and lettuce, cauliflower, bokchoy, radishes. The days I’m hungry means I haven’t eaten enough protein. Everything has changed for the better for me. My sleep is better. My brain fog is gone! No more coma naps after I eat. I made a bunch of mistakes-like I blew off my electrolytes and suffered the consequences-fatigue, weakness and cramps. I did buy the electrolyte powder and it worked instantly! I also bought beet greens and ate them in my soup! I can really tell when I have my electrolytes managed well….keep calm and keto on! 💐🌷💜☮️
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
My motivation isn't just loosing weight it's the RA and fibromialgia pain. It's so bad that when I started this for real about 7 days ago I actually noticed some relief. I know as I go a little further each day my pain will be relieved a little more each day.
@@s.khanii I had a debilitating opiate addiction for 10 years and during that time my doctors had me on all kinds of different meds. Truthfully if it didn't give me immediate relief or give me a head change (high basically) I didn't give the medication a chance to work or not work. When I got sober 4 1/2 years ago through an outpatient program, I stopped taking all medications. The only thing I take now is ibuprofen for pain and Cymbalta for depression. Cymbalta can also be helpful for RA pain but I've never noticed any pain relief while taking it. Treatment taught me how not to let pain control my life and that has been a huge help. Never ever go off of benzos without a doctor's knowledge and help, it can be deadly.
It's so funny that I was expecting an exercise like crunches, sit-ups and all I see was walking 😂 I love the way you narrate this information. Thank you
I do a lot of calisthenics. And I work twelve hour shifts for the NHS. I was worried that eating less frequently would impinge my exercise gains and lead to fatigue at work. No such worries. My energy went through the roof and my pull up reps etc increased noticeably after a week or so.
I burned off 20 pounds of fat from my belly area about 4 months ago 😩 but I cheated on my Ketosis levels by eating snacks and sugar 🙃 and now I gained 9 pounds back again But I'm now back on Keto again
A good way too make it work is too keep in mind that Keto shouldn't be an all the time thing. Pick a duration 3-6 months and keep too it for that time. It's much easier if its a temporary cycle rather than complete life style. Keto is great for weight lose but it's not the best for long term. Of course though keep in mind that when you do cycle out of Keto that you shouldn't be eating crap carbs like sugars and things. A bit in your sauce might be ok but don't go chugging coke and eating chocolate cake for dinner. Find better carbs like Potato and Kumara (Sweet Potato). For instance you could Keto for 3 months in winter and lose weight then enjoy yourself in summer. Or you could Keto is summer as vege and meat tends to cost less.
Feeling amazing day 2 !!!! Don’t feel hungry anymore it’s a fantastic diet I have done this many times and lost weight instantly lost a stone in a week
I followed keto diet and lost > 10kg in< 3 months. Thats in 2021, but once I started to eat as usual I got my weight back sadly. I think you need to continue keto to keep your weight. And I am starting out again.
I was raised to eat two meals or less per day and my family is very healthy. I remember feeling sick when I States eating 5-6 meals per day as persuaded by a personal trainer. I have Adult onset Type 1 diabetes and Graves with no known family history. The insulin spikes were obvious but I didn't know that was happening until I was diagnosed. Thanks for all that you do. There is alot of misinformation out there.
I think that Dr Berg offers great advice and a sound alternative to healthy living. But, with that said, Keto is not the only approach to losing weight and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I really like IF and it definitely has its benefits. I’ve been battling weight issues my entire life. So, I understand the consequences of being overweight and unhealthy. I learned how to focus on eating healthier, getting enough sleep and exercise. A caloric deficit is the key to maintaining healthier insulin levels, contributing to weight loss. I eat a bowl of rolled oats with a banana every day; I have a baked sweet potato every day as well. My insulin levels are in check and I’m not only feeling great, but I’m so much healthier. I’ve dropped a considerable amount of weight, and I find it easy to maintain this current weight loss. I realized that I was eating way to many calories a day; didn’t get the proper rest; and failed to incorporate exercise. I do IF and eat primarily 2 times a day, making SMART choices with my meals. I totally agree with Dr Berg on the importance of IF and how it effects the bodies ability to keep our insulin levels in check in order to burn fat. Everyone is different, and everyone will have different results. A caloric deficit is key to any weight loss program and insulin levels, especially combined with an IF style of living. Even Dr Berg says that although we’re not necessarily counting calories, a calorie reduction is evident when IF. So, don’t be afraid to experiment with different foods because Keto is not the only healthy option out there. And I want to be clear, I’m not against Keto. I just think that there are other options on the table for people looking to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
That's what I exactly wanted to know. I have started with keto and IF until I loose my weight n reach my goal. Then, to keep doing IF with normal food eating inclusive of fruits.
Very sensible! I tried keto a few years ago and the extra fat put so much strain on my liver that it nearly killed me. I’ll take some hints from Dr Berg but won’t be doing that to my liver again. You have a great approach and I wish you all the best!
Hi! Dr. Berg asked me to express our admiration for your achievements. Would you mind sharing your journey and a before-and-after photo? Please use this link: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story
Thank you for all this videos. I'm putting in practice as much as I can... Right now I had days where I can't afford nothing but pasta and pasta sauce and I still feel great... My health had improved so much, all the belching, gas and bloating it's completely gone. I also been exercising 4X week for the last 4 weeks HIIT
I know those days, what to eat to stretch the dollar, while going to school. One time I was 2wks and 1/2 from eating, Rent went up and so did energy cost. Winter was a cold one. and I di not have any boots, or winter hat, or gloves. Had an exam coming up and had to study. I had Popcorn seeds, that was All that I had, I thought if I popped it with baby oil, I could have some thing to munch on while I studied. The turn out was not good. but the results what came out, was baby oil smell. . I hated those days. Far too many have NO clue how many college students trying to make ends meet, work and school , and pay does not cover much after all the school courses , books and supplies and transportation to make it. I wonder how many go hungry. Pasta is starch, and the sauce if homemade is full of sugar. Home made. is I think is ok. To day I can not afford Eggs, and fish, because to cut costs, I do not have a refrigerator, or stove/oven, too costly to Run and too cost to buy energy efficient . I know there are many college students living in their cars. or found an apartment building with a boiler room . I live in the North, and it is too cold to be sleeping outside. Problem is far too many do not know where there are resources for Free meal, at a Mission , or food banks. They are around, welfare sometimes helps. Hopefully you can find these places near you to be able to afford the vegetables and fish needed.
Sardines in a can are very cheap. You could eat those twice per week. Be sure to take vitamins if your diet is very limited and you can't afford much meat. Good luck. I hope your financial situation improves.
I’ve learned more from you in 15 videos than I could ever imagine. You’ve given me soooo much hope. Information is gold-the right information. I ordered the keto kit and am so looking forward to the journey ahead. Thank you Dr. Berg💕 Now I return to catching up on the other 2485 videos🥳
I have the hardest time skipping breakfast. I'm not a morning person and it really helps me get going. But I usually find it pretty easy to skip dinner so that's just how I'm doing it for now.
We ♥️ your electrolyte powder. My daughter used to get migraines. She doesn't as much anymore but for an occasional headache, she gets relief taking your electrolyte powder.
Video suggestion: Why you have more energy later in the day Some people like me tend to sleep alright and get a moderate amount of sleep, and still wake up feeling very tired, but slowly get more energy throughout the day.
Since I was a kid, if I eat something late at night I'm starving when I wake up. But, if I have an early meal the night before, I can go almost until noon without being hungry.
Now I have lost 11kgs in 7weeks someone always like so I tell you my progress,I'm so proud of myself and thank you Dr Berg once again you are truly a life saver ❤️
I’m about to embark on this journey with my dad. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s about 8 years ago and just yesterday accepted my help. It’ll be a painful road. If anyone has tips to give me about this program will be gratefully appreciated. I will be checking out your website Dr. Berg 👍🏽
I started an IF routine before focusing on the details of WHAT I was eating, and did very well for over a week (which surprised me, I'm a boredom-snacker). Along with ACV in the morning I got my digestion straightened out quite a bit, my belly bloat was reduced, I had plenty of energy and just overall felt better. Then I weighed myself, and saw I'd gained 3lbs... xD So now I'm diving into the keto aspect of it to hopefully lose some body fat. We eat fairly healthy but I do love me some pasta and whole-grain bread, giving those up might be rough! Thanks for the videos, especially these that just touch the basics. I prefer developing one habit at a time, trying to perfect it all at once would almost guarantee failure. Small steps!

This awsome...on keto for almost 5 months and lost almost 50lbs.
I now weigh 130lbs like I did 20yrs ago in school. Feel so good!
Thank you Dr. Berg!!💕
Right on good for you!!!
Briggitte Rod congratulations! 🎊 If you don’t mind me asking what do you normally eat in a day?
good job. keep it up. I want to weigh what I did in high school too :(
Omg that's amazing!!!
That's awesome! My nephew lost a lot of weight on Keto. Have you checked your blood work? Curious.
I've been watching these videos for a couple of months, along with a few other TH-camrs passionate Nutrition and Health folks (Christopher Gardner, Mike Todorovic, Sten Ekberg and Wendy Suzuki). I was 298 pounds (I'm 62 years old - 5'9) in January 2021. I lost 40 pounds my first year, sticking to organic food (mainly Keto), little sugar and low carbs. I kept the weight off, but in April, I started taking things more seriously. Your videos are EXCELLENT. When adding daily exercise, and fasting 20-24 hours per day, eating no grains, processed foods, or starches, I lost another 20 pounds, but instead of water weight, it's fat. I am rapidly becoming an agent of change among my friends and family. I started studying nutritional science and body chemistry- how what we consume interacts and effects our anatomy and physiology- it is FASCINATING.. and it all started with your videos. THANK YOU for keeping things simple and to the point- it keeps me coming back for more!
great stuff
That is so awesome 👏🏼
I love this sir. Im just starting to watch Dr. Berg videos to help and inspire my cousin and you've just done it to me. keep it up!
Very passionate and well studied videos
Good for you! Congrats! Keep going on your health journey! 🎉😊👍🌟
Dr Berg THANK YOU ! I was diagnosed with type 2 and refused to take the medication. The integrated health provider told me it takes a lot of hard work , "I said I'll do the had work"! I went cold turkey on no carbs such as Chips, biscuits, pancakes, rice, pasta, bread and sweets. Wowza! I experienced that keto flu pretty quick you talked about. Started eating a lot of veggies & salad , some tuna and salmon. Then I discovered your videos. I'm so grateful 🙏 Immediately what you named and explained resonated with me. I didn't understand. I wish you had a clinic/health retreat that I could come to. I'm a two Time C survivor and cardiac patient. I am feeling more hopeful and physically better but still need to be educated. I watch your videos every day now. 😊 God bless and thank you again. Ely, MN
Im suscribing getting substandard care from a low knowledge doctor😢😅
I’m from mpls, Mn I’m just started my journey
My mother, 93, got off of insulin shots at 92.
Doing only low carb because liver is very limited.
Teeth are not very functional for large salads. Mostly well done greens and eggs and meats.
Surely you can beat that diagnosis and find more joy.
We make lentil bread and eat chickpea flour for gravies and filling soups.
Go vegan, stop evil meat industry
Olive oil with fresh squeezed lemon juice is a great clean salad dressing.
Thanks Doc! I lost 50 pounds over a 2 year period. I feel so much better. High blood pressure is gone and I am no longer pre-diabetic. I also removed all toxic people from my life and the diet changed helped me see I needed that. You're the best!
Congrats and keep it up!!
Wonder what was the cause of the high blood pressure,,,
That is so awesome!!!! Major reset sounds like for you!
That's terrific and a great inspiration to me. I'm about to start keto, and hope I get it right. I've got 20 kilos to lose.

I rarely comment, but I feel I should, because with this information mixed with a little will power and determination, I've achieved one of the most difficult challenges of modern life: weight loss. I'm a 58 year-old male, medium height and I reduced from almost 180 lbs to under 160 lbs in less than 3 months. I just wanted to share some specifics and timing of my intake (sample):
Morning (9ish): big glass of lemon water w/ACV, french press coffee w/organic heavy cream. Then a light workout, stretching and sprinting, etc 30 minutes, every other day..
Noon: eggs with veggies (cauliflowered rice is a great sub for rice) avocado, cheese
4ish : tea/coffee, water (sparkling or flat)
6ish: protein with salad, usually seafood like shrimp, salmon, or halibut, and a home-made dressing of vegan mayo, dijon whole grain mustard, balsamic, olive oil, pink salt, pepper..
Note: a tasty treat is 100% cacao with some nut butter and pink salt
I have also had cheat days, veggie pizza being one choice, and ice cream occasionally..
I should note that I have not had any alcohol during this time, and I've come to realize that it has not been as difficult as I thought..my body worked with me as I progressed. Haven't felt this good in years!
Thanks for sharing this!
❤❤❤great share 🙏
Quarterwhite, thank you! Posting this is so helpful!!!
😊😊
That is spectacular! Much love!!
Thank you Dr. Berg...got my yearly labs back..almost all categories in the GREEN...No longer any traces of type 2 Diabetes, lost 60 lbs, blood pressure normal, swollen ankles gone..feeling 20 years younger. A year ago I felt like death..edema, over 300 lbs, could barely walk. Found your videos, started Keto in September of last year and the rest is history...God bless you.
Congrats!
I’m on my 3rd day of 18-20 hours intermittent fasting and I feel great, thank you.
I'm just about to start. 279 lbs now. Thanks for sharing.
How did you get rid of your swollen ankles?
Reduction in sodium in take and total change of diet. Gluten free foods and low carb.
How about adding:
1. Fasting (IT, prolonged, OMAD)
2. Plenty of water
3. Excercise
4. Good sleep
5. Less stress
6. Keep yourself busy
20 hours of no eating is fasting, wouldn't you say? :)
What’s Omad? I keep seeing that
Keep your mind busy & don't eat for leisure only eat when you're hungry.

I've been doing Keto since March 1st 2018. I lost 78 pounds the first year and then I lost my way a little bit. I didn't gain the second year, but I didn't lose either. I have been just getting by. SO I'm not new to your channel but I felt I needed to revisit the basics and get serious again.
I just celebrated my 47th birthday and after eating all of the things that I have been without, I remembered why I began this lifestyle in the first place. Ugh! I feel terrible!! After consuming too much food and too many refined carbs on my birthday, I asked my boyfriend "How did we used to eat like this ALL THE TIME??" He answered "Because we were miserable but didn't realize how miserable we were!"
Thank you for continuing to educate! We love your content!
can we eat tahini (ı dont know how to say that I translated it from google )
It would be great if you shared your meal plan exactly.
Honestly I respect Dr. Berg but I am a whole food vegan who consumes lots of healthy carbs. I need them
for energy and glucose, yet I have no trouble with my weight and I am very physically active. I can eat whatever
I want and will not get heavy. Fats are important but I doubt I consume any more than 30% fats.
Look up the "Broad" study, it allowed people the ability to eat anything in any amount as long as it was whole food
and plant foods only. People lost an average of 19 pounds each and even 1 year later did not gain more weight.
It is the most successful weight loss study every conducted. cheers on your journey.

I am so mad at people who keep saying eat in the morning!! When I was never hungry. My keto fasting i did with you was so good. Thank you. 😊
If we don’t eat at night…it is expected to be hungry for breakfast early in the morning. Body knows best
What happens is that most people work during the day and they r tired and hungry at night when they can cook and are so hungry they eat a lot… and even if they haven’t had enough time to allow for digestion…they are so sleepy they can’t wait and sleep. Force their body to get up early to work… but their body is full of quasi digested food…they cannot be hungry in the morning. Under those conditions (full stomach) some force breakfast and problems start
@@lulazeta8965 I found this before keto/intermittent fasting, after I got on it properly that became a thing of the past.
Most welcome!
I'm convinced that your job has an effect on your diet
IF go as long as you can
Try 2 meals in a 4 hour window. That gives you 20 hrs of fasting (4 eggs a day, avocado, some cheese, bacon, nut butters, vegetables [salads, raw or steam vegetables], olive oil balsamic vinaigrette for dressing, salmon or sardines or seafood, fat bomb, chicken with skin, wings, moderate protein, sages, olives [fat], apple cider vinegar, coffee [fat coffee or reg]. If you have an urge to fat it usually means you need more fat. Use sea salt. Best time to exercise in the morning while you’re fasting. You know you’re in ketosis is when you have no cravings, you’re not hungry anymore.
Great summary 👏
Thank you very much. For your help 🎉
I do better when I do all of your suggestions except dairy. I can eat cheese, sour cream, etc but there’s a difference without them.
Thank you!!

I'm 66 and on no mediation..but want to stay that way..today is my first day starting keto...i'm excited..
Me too! 66 and no medication, but I am overweight... I'm just learning and already seeing results!
How is it going
hi phillip. its going perfect. this sunday wull be 4 weeks. i dont weight myself. But i think ive lost about 2 inches. going by how my clothes fit . etc
How are you doing
carolyn bohannon I'm 70 and I've been on it for about 1 &1/2 months and I've lost almost 24 lbs. and have never felt better in my life! I'm not on meds either and I want to stay that way too. Feel like a new person... I have a coach also...
Started gradually 14/10 intermittent fasting /keto, May. 2023, I'm down to 20/4, my eating window is now 2-6 pm, two meals a day, no sneaking. I'm 65 F. I feel great and take no prescription medication.
Q: How do you know if it’s organic?
A: It’s half the size and costs twice as much
You could always grow your own produce in your home garden.
Gardens can be grown indoors in potplants or 2ℓ bottles adapted to that purpose.
You won't use too much water either.
I can't help you with chickens and eggs as that depends on your local by-laws.
Ikr going healthy is expensive
@@ebennoble5270 Go for quality over quantity and it's not so bad
Think of it as saving money on healthcare costs. Costco and Trader Joe’s have very good prices for various organic foods.
Maybe, but you are only going to eat a quarter of what you used to eat with untold better health. Can't beat that for cost effectiveness:)
On November 5, 2022. I started to attempt keto and intermittent fasting. Hard for me to adapt. However, my son does it and he’s been doing it over a year and lost 50 pounds. He has been encouraging me because I have diabetes and almost have kidney failure but your first healthy keto video and the second are enlightening for me. I now understand it much better. Go keto an I. F.
PLUS I personally decided to stop diabetes medication and insulin. Glucose readings have been better without the meds.
Awesome hope Ur health improves have a merry Christmas and New year 2023
God bless
how much weight have you lost as to right now?
9 pounds so far
9 pounds so far. But fell off the wagon since Christmas. Tomorrow back on starting with 3day fast.
So pleased that you have gone off your diabetes drugs and even insulin with better readings.
been on keto, specifically hyperketo (kind of different but it's like 50/50 carnivore and keto) and lost 115 lbs.
Wow!
this is probably the most useful dieting video I've seen so far, and a better explanation of what Keto actually is. I've had some misconceptions about Keto, but this makes more sense.
I literally just started last week , and I’m down 8 pounds. I could’ve even believe it I feel great !! Still lifting strong at the gym too ! Fasting 18-22 hours a day and doing keto as well. I am so happy my wife sent me a link to watch your videos. Thanks for your knowledge Dr

@@DrbergDo you have a private practice? If so, where are you located?
@@Drberg You're a Legend Sir! What nuts do you recommend to eat and which to avoid please?
71 year old female here, packing the Covid 19 (pounds) and a few extra. I caught your video on ACV in water to lose weight and get off sugar, and it led me to all your keto information. Instead of being disgusting, the ACV/water combo was absolutely delicious! That was so right-on, I started about 4 days ago with a muddled version of Keto, but at least I cut out the sugar and known carbs. (Didn't know grapefruit and blueberries are a no-no.) I don't have a scale, but immediately, I had more energy, more stamina, better ability to concentrate - important because I am a writer and journalist-podcaster who needs her brain to be sharp. Every day I've been watching a few more of your videos and learning the rules of the road/tricks of the trade. IF today for the first time and amazed at how long I was just not even thinking about food. When I was overwhelmed with the desire to snack last night, I had asparagus w/ACV and olive oil rather than a wedge of cheese. Sleeping better, dreams clearer... and my pants are loose! Don't have a scale so I don't know the poundage, but I can see the loss of bloat in my face - there are angles and bones in there! Even more important, and something I don't see in any of the videos so far, is the change in my mood. From years of carrying around a low grade depression compounded by physical weakness, I suddenly feel... not just "better," but optimistic and (dare I say it) happy! When one gets to this age, there is always the fear that it's never going to get any better and it's all downhill from here. HAH! Keto is putting that to a lie. Walked double my usual distance today (my dog takes me for two walks a day) and felt like I could have done more. Have I finally found the way to eat that my body's been needing all these years? Is this not a "kook fad" but a truly scientific way to nourish my body for my best possible life? More will be revealed... including my hip bones. Thanks, Dr. Berg!
Why are grapefruit and blueberries not ok?
Such a wonderful reveal! So enjoyed reading this today. Thanks for the humor and honesty!
@@ellenkno5233 I have seen a video on this channel promoting blueberries as very good and especially with a plain no fat yogurt mix. Not sure re grapefruit but have seen it promoted else where as a healthy option to have with breakfast.

I’m always hungry…and I eat all organic, wild caught, pasture, hunted, no carbs.
Jordan Underwood disapproves tho
For those who are struggling with not eating. I suggest drinking black coffee n the morning, 2 hours after you wake. It'll suppress hunger all day, and now over 2 weeks of regular fasting, my minimum is 20-24 hours of fasting, no cravings no nothing. often I go over that and stop at 28 hours. The longer the best. I've noticed my heart palpitations have disappeared, and previous illnesses have subsided if not one altogether. Our bodies are marvelous things.
It is crazy that this is so unpopular because of corporate greed. Thank you for actually changing lives and sharing with us. We are listening and you are doing us a great service.
corporations hid the truth about sugar for so long.
What has this video got to do with "corporate greed".
It's unpopular because your lipids SKYROCKET.
@@heenanyou it's about keto diet, which eliminates (most) carbs, and in case you haven't noticed, most big international food companies (macdonalds, subway, oreo.. etc) are based off of carbs and transformed foods
So eating healthy keto means you'll be eating WAY less carbs and transformed foods and in turn buying less from these big companies
@@huitrecouturecholesterol is not a bad thing. It's the inflammation from high sugar and processed foods that cause coronary Artery disease, not cholesterol. There are lean mass hyper responders who get elevated lipids from keto diets, but most people become metabolically healthy with low carb high fat ways of eating.

Dr Berg you're extremely in depth with explaining this keto diet. You've broken down the little things that I didn't even think about. I started fasting yesterday and I went for 19 hours without even thinking about it. I exercises while fasting and the energy level was insane. Today is day 2 and it's now 10:14 am and I've been fasting since 8pm yesterday.
We were told: breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Lunch with 3-4 rounds, after a sweat, at 4 o clock sommething to snack and at 6 eating again 🤦♀️ my parents are still struggeling while I for years am thin and do it completely different. Thank you for the prove I'm right 😍😘
I NEVER eat when I wake up - ever. No lunch either. Just a small dinner. I've seen changes in my body like CRAZY!
What do you eat a dinner?
Bigasss salad, cheese sticks, oil dressing, protein. Does the job for one meal a day, crazy energy to work hard in the yard and walk 2.5mi
@@natem3152 Nice, thanks for sharing. 👍
Of course. Your starving yourself.
@@terrymckenzie8786 it's not starving if your body is functioning correctly and the hunger hormone is suppressed. Watch a few more videos and learn about human physiology
Even if you been fully adapted for a while, watching the basics keeps you well grounded. Good one.
yes !
I totally agree! I was starting to eat a little too much protein, then started eating a little something here and there between meals and I started gaining some weight back. I re-watched these starter videos and effortlessly got right back on track.
@@NickC702 ×
Definitely! I've re-watched at least 3x.
Agreed @tnvoljr thank you
Thank You Dr Berg! I have found that I can get up at 6-7am and have my first meal at 12:30 or 1pm. Then I have supper around 6pm . Once or twice a week I can go until 4-5pm for my OneMeal A Day. And I feel great!
Hey Dr. Berg. I just wanted to thank you for your advice on this channel. I started Keto and IF in january, and i've already lost 50 pounds. It was surprising how easy it was to adapt to this diet. With other diets i was always hungry, starving myself, basically just a pain, just waiting to get back to stuff myself with junkfood. Right now i just feel satiated after every meal, i barely go hungry, my mental clarity is through the roof, and ofcourse because of my lost weight, i can walk around more freely and just be happy in my skin.
Thanks again!

Dr Burg, I have been following you recommendations and watching your videos for about a year. Following these recommendations I have lost 20 lbs but I have also completely reversed my kidney damage ❤ thank you so much 🎉
Good job. Keep up the good work. Would you like to share your Keto/ IF success story on my website? I'd be happy to see your story there. Feel free to upload your story here: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story
I am mostly bedridden from Lyme disease, and a messed up, infected foot from a botched surgery which has been neglected by my state since 2007. Moving is difficult, exercise is extremely difficult.. and I am still losing weight, while gaining muscle! Incredible!! Thank you so much, Dr. Berg!
It’s been so long since you commented but sure hope you’re still doing well!
I love this, I have followed Dr Berg for 2 years and am really healthy at 54. I now look 34, seriously, autophagy is a miracle. Sadly I am allergic to fish, thats a bummer for me.
This one is my favorite IF + KETO HEALTHY VERSION > 10 am and 6 pm + KETO HEALTHY VERSION ( 50% Veggies, 25% fats, 25% protein ). I feel alway energetic and not always hungry like before. And i also remove all my sugar food that cause me craving. Base in my research the more you eat sugar the more you will hungry.
HI
YES because sugar spikes your insulin! Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua.
Thank you for being serious and not laughing. Listening to Mark hyman and he was giving good information, but laughing at belly fat is not funny. I'm 60 yrs old 250lbs frustrated with my life and body and wanting to get better. I'm hurt that he was laughing. Sigh I'm trying to intermittent fasting and it's working that's because of you and your seriousness, thank you for caring and staying on TH-cam bless you! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm also 60 and want to be healthier. Seeing my older siblings with health issues scares me. I'm doing well myself. Hope you are staying with this lifestyle & feeling good 🎉
I too have a slow metabolism and have finally found this Keto/Intermittent fasting eating plan and it has changed my life! I have lost 50 pounds in 21 weeks. I still have 49 more pounds to go. I would just like to say thank you to Dr. Berg for his educational videos. I now understand why I couldn't lose weight all those years.
OceanViews53 can you explain what you eat
Ocean view please share ur diet brekfast options and second meal options...would be a big help.thanks
I think it's great that you've lost that much weight, but that's still an average of a little over 10 pounds a month, you can do that on a regular weight watcher kinda program.....so what makes you pro the keto diet?
@@butterwarrior166 do you not understand keto? If u would, you wouldnt ask this

Where to get complete plan
@@ahsanqi7266 dr. Eric berg is the best
@@justrandom8766 thanks for ur reply, but actually i did get the complete guide /plan, as there r so many videos of dr. Eric on keto. That's why i am asking.
Hi Bro, I am a newbie and interested to find out more from you about the keto diet. You have lost 19lbs. How much bodyfat you have lost through week 3?
How do you eat the avocado? I cant eat them alone, i need Mexican food, even if its just the way they cook the meat!
I’m on my second week of keto as a pescatarian. I started the 12:12 for the first week and now I’m on the 16:8 … I start eating at noon and I can’t believe how two meals a day has been filling me up perfectly and it’s much more enjoyable then when I was constantly snacking. I was eating what you’d considered really healthy, I was 230lbs and came down to 195 but I plateaued for a couple months now because of my insulin levels. I always snacked on fruit especially frozen mangoes. so now let’s see if keto and IF takes the rest of that weight off because I’d like to be around 175.
So, half a year on keto - no weight loss!! Of course i will loose some when fasting, but that's nothing new!!! I just don't know what to do anymore! OK, I am post- menopausal, but I eat only 2 meals a day, exercise and eat no carbs or processed foods for month now!! I feel so discouraged reading all these comments about - to me- wonderful success stories!
I have 1 big meal a day no 5 or 6 pm , eggs , fish , broccoli, cabbage , rib eye stake, liver and within 2 weeks lost a stone
You should be on negative energy balance to lose fat. Don't matter if you don't calculate your calories.
I’m 71 and on medication for heart failure. I’ve got to take the meds more or less on the same time in the morning and in the evening. So I’m doing my own IF, which means my fasting periods are shorter BUT I’ve slowly lost 11lbs. I’ll try and make some more changes after watching your video. So hard to notice that there’s no fruit that you’re allowed!
Honestly keto is a miracle for me. I’ve been veggie and I’m 68. I’ve never felt so well. My cravings for sweet treats has gone, my mental health and energy is up and my hunger pangs have gone. Give it a try.
Thank you dr. Berg. You freed me from the idea that I HAD to eat breakfast... It never sat wright with me, but I ate anyway, because ”breakfast is the most important meal of the day”. Now I can finally skip this meal without any sense of unnecessary guilt. :)
Glad to help then! Be well!
Breakfast always seemed like a "Force Feed" to me,even as a child. Hurry up & eat before school, then as an adult" hurry & eat before work. I stopped it (way before I was introduced to healthy eating) I just ate lunch & dinner. Eating that early always made me groggy. Made me wonder how many other parents told their kids to eat breakfast even if they weren't hungry.
Same here
Why do people believe everything their told by society and news,,,,🤷
@@Drberg so why am i feeling chest/heart pains after starting keto?
11:00am *coffee (no sugar)
4:00pm *protein oats(with berries) + protein shake+ 2 hard boiled eggs
9:00pm *4oz chicken +1 whole egg/3 egg white omlette+ spinach+ cauliflour rice+ 1/4 cup beans+ greens.
I cannot afford to let my health go anymore...back on Dr Berg's expertise and get on the road to heath once again! You're a blessing, Dr Berg! God bless you😊
I did Intermittent fasting 16:8 when I was flaring up from Ulcerative Colitis for 1 month now and I have never felt healthier. I feel like my stomach is on meditation and healing when I am fasting. I eat between 12 noon to 8 pm. Between that time I drink coffee, tea or apple juice. Normally when I am flaring up from UC, I feel so tired and don’t want to do anything after work but just lie down and stay in bed. Intermittent Fasting and Keto diet really helped me a lot on my energy level and not pooping 20 or more times a day. I found Dr. Berg through TH-cam recommendation and I am so glad that I did. He helped me a lot in informations I need to start taking care of myself and motivated me to go further with my fasting. I lost 3 kilos in a month and most of them are around the belly area. Thank you Dr. Berg. Keep doing what you’re doing and save a lot of people.

People in the comments. You are not doctors & stop trying to give advice on this man’s videos and create your own channel if you want to.
Just watching this video already put me into ketosis.
Dr Berg, Thank you for giving me the tools to learn about health. I'm in my 50s and grew up with horrible habits and was always a bit over weight and certainly unhealthy. Since finding your channel years ago, I understand and respect my health/body. I am no longer over weight and I really appreciate your influence.
Articulate ,clear and no background music has my attention . Thank you Dr. Berg
And great visuals!!! He’s the best and breaking down so everyone can understand and he comes off like really cares. LOVE HIM 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
These videos are wonderful! I did a year long weight loss program with a doctor that prescribes keto, and he’s a great doctor, but I learned more in these last two videos than I did in that year.
Really glad to see this. Keto has been life changing for me, and it's hilarious to me that I only started it to prove to myself that it didn't work. Not only did it stop my weight gain, an inexorable curse I hadn't been able to kick, but it drastically reduced my allergies and eliminated pain I didn't even know I had until it was gone. I couldn't do my current job without the mental clarity it gives me, so I can credit it directly for advancement of my career.
Can't recommend keto highly enough! Watch out for misinformation and products that claim to be keto friendly, but aren't. Read the label!
I went on a sugar fast a while ago, no sodas, juices, sweets, candy, etc and the mental clarity was unreal... that's probably the biggest benefit of sugar free eating and keto tbh.
Lots of celebrities are getting on the bandwagon. Avoid those.
I put my phone in my back pocket with my earphones on while cooking lunch for the next day (not breakfast). I feel more motivated and your videos keep me on track. Thank you Dr. Berg!
I can feel the weight falling off me and I haven't even started the Keto yet.

@@Nana-ir5bf 🤔 I wake up almost the same time lol
a tip for a good keto drink is lactos free milk or almond milk, coconut milk something like that (anything without sugar) mixed with cacao (just 100% powder no additives) and then a big lump of coconut grease in there and heat it up and stir. so basically just a cup of hot coconut-chocolate! i dont like coconut fat in coffee because it messes with the taste but with hot chocolate it works well. try it out.

You sound like a 52 year young female. I am 54, and I feel younger than I did at 20. Weird. Intermittent fasting and high quality supplements helps. It actually works.
I'm a 52 year old female, I'd developed hypothyroidism, after listening to Dr Berg, keto diet is the only thing that would help me lose 20 pounds,and I feel better now than I did when I was 20!
I am 63, and lost over 29 kgs, I not only look ten years younger, but feel heaps better on keto, when I stray away from it, I feel as if I am older, plus heavier. So the best thing to so is try to stick always to the keto. I love the awe on peoples faces when I tell them how old I am. Haha, vanity I know, but I used to feel so bad before. Still have to lose more, as I am not at goal by all means, but it is not that far. :)

Hello! Today it is my 100 day on Keto and OMAD and thanks to Dr Berg and this pattern I have lost 13 kilos and I just feel great! My blood values, electrolytes, sugar, magnesium etc are all in the normal parameters. I feel not bloating any more, no fatigue and I was hungry only at the begining about 3-4 days.

Hi there. Glad to know that you are doing your best to improve your health. Sharing my videos on how to start healthy keto: www.youtube.com/@Drberg/search?query=keto%20beginner
its funny how my whole life i was taught breakfast (when you wake up) is the most important meal of the day.... now its ''dont eat breakfast'' lol
Right!? I used to eat breakfast when I wasn't even hungry, just because i thought i had to! Now I almost never eat breakfast
Yes I was a big believer of the importance of breakfast, it even sounded logical to me.
This is a complete change for me.
I'll today though. Maybe the body and system adaptation.
I was never a breakfast person, and I found that any time I ate breakfast, I was ravenously hungry for the rest of the day.
That term was used basically when working in farm life....then it moved on to regular schedule for everyone .....it ultimately fats you up and thats where cancer, diabetes, and most illness stems from. Even if you Fast first thing in the day.....you still have energy .
I love pancakes (the perfect vehicle to transport maple syrup into my mouth), but could never eat them during the daytime, because even one would put me in a sugar/carb induced coma for the rest of the day. I would be more functional, clear headed and awake having vodka martinis for breakfast.
Loving the new journey - I started watching Dr Eric's videos and everything he said made sense and I had no problems understanding the concept of ketosis. But after 3 weeks of strict keto eating I was getting worried as nothing happened then bang it all started to happen and the weight is now moving so Ive lost 2 kilos in the past week. I've never been a big eater and have always fasted so eating at 6pm then nothing until 1 or 2pm the next day is a perfectly natural thing for me. Im 56 and have been trying to lose menopausal weight for a number of years. I used to be a normal 60kilo and was this for all my adult life then wham, over the past 10 years Ive had 20 kilos creep on up and remain solid neither up or down for the past 2 years no matter how much I trained, dieted etc... Now Im into my 4th week on keto and Im eating between 1pm and 6pm, drinking my acv drink twice daily, Im not hungry and then when I am, its at about 1-2pm. I still walk 5-10km a day and Im not bloated anymore, my gut is starting to actually not distend after each meal and my diverticulitis is not as noticeable and quite calm. It will be interesting to see how the rosacea goes and if my joints stop hurting... I previously just put it down to getting old and such is life and had given up... but now Im super excited to stay on this journey... Im not even missing my evening glass of wine! no cravings for it whatsoever.... So my little fatty liver is thanking Dr Eric ...
T
WOW! This is inspiring! I'm also 56 and am currently going through the same struggles you've had. I'm researching using Dr. Berg's channel to gain as much knowledge as possible to start a new way of living Jan 1 2022. I'm taking the next 2 weeks to figure out what foods I need to purchase and how to have a successful go at this new lifestyle. Looking forward to losing 25lbs, looking and feeling healthier and no lower back pain. Wish me luck!
I quit cofee and my rosacea got much better, i sleep better, and also eating more keto, but coffee did most of the face infamation situation
Maybe you had low metabolism and needed more time for Ketosis to occur. Great job sticking to the plan even though no results at week three.
THANK YOU!! I tried this when it first came out and of course did it all wrong. Gained weight and felt horrible. The key thing missing was to eat the veggies. I love that you have helped to make it healthy.

Get a physical job. No diets, workouts, or fasting needed. Use it or lose it!

Why can’t American doctors listen to this advice? As a group they tend to be cynical about nutrition and weight loss. This info has made a huge difference to me. Thank you Dr Berg!
Read the history of how the American medical society was started
Thank the globalist and Rockefellers
I’m a doc and they didn’t teach us crap about nutrition…. They didn’t teach us how to live healthy so we couldn’t tell others how to be healthy. Healthy patients dont give us income! Big Pharm just pushes drug to us that we then push on our patients. Cynical docs will say - my patients are not interested in lifestyle changes, they just want a pill to fix things.
I personally started IF 2 months ago and have lost 25 pounds… was inspired because my Hgb A1C was elevated and I wasn’t eating the way I should and I was 35 pounds overweight with high BP. I’m personally getting healthy now. I don’t do primary care but I’m sure telling my peers how my life is healthier. B
Loss of patients
I’ve been IF about 8 weeks now and have gone from 171 to 163. I’m a 5’2” woman, 65. This is good because I worked on losing with a dietitian and the weight wouldn’t budge. I’d been 170 for 2 years, now I’m almost to what my was before (160 for 2 years and before 140-145 for a few). Just gotta keep going to 128! FYI. I still feel hunger pangs though; yet crave no particular food. And cheat with diet soda every couple days. Trying to quit. I eat only one meal a day. Just started the big salad and it’s great! Got my big salad bowl on Amazon 😊
I'm 5'2" also and my thyroid troubles made my wt zoom from a steady 150 to 220! I was heartsick but the Dr's were not much help - some but not enough. I don't do diet anything but otherwise i coild have written your post. Thanks for sharing, it encourages me. I.F. is helping me a little but I want the old me back, and it would benefit my husband too.
Wonderful! I just ordered the electrolites raspberry and lemon and I have never felt better. I lost 20 lbs so far and I am never hungry. I am eating my vegetables and they are delicious. I can actually walk a mile without breaking a sweat even climb the stairs 3 times with no problems. You are truly the greatest!
Already lost over 35lbs doing keto following Dr Berg advice. I was 165lbs. Coming back to center myself to remind myself what the best options are. I am now back on ketosis since i had gained around 10 lbs after straying away. I weigh now like 138 5'2 roughly and want to lose about 10 lbs minimum. Thanks Dr Berg for having these video up still. I DONT trust everyone online and I havent seen anyone get as specific as you do!
5th day on the plan 2 meals a day. Dropped weight fast by fourth day went down a pant size. On the 5th day I still was not hungry by 1:00P.m with 20 hrs fasting. I went on ahead and ate at 1:00 because I did not want to have an adverse effect if any. But I could have gone even longer without eating.
I started keto for the 2nd time about 5 months ago. I’m doing intermittent fasting-not for a bikini body, but for scaring away type2 diabetes. I’m basically getting thin by eating. I tell people I want to make my life non-food centric but it is completely food centric!😂😂 I’ve lost 40 pounds! I’m living on salads and hamburgers-and salmon and steak! I buy a whole chicken (cheap) and bake it , eat the chicken and then boil the bones and drink the soup with fresh greens. I’m starting to love my own cooking so much!! I eat cabbage and lettuce, cauliflower, bokchoy, radishes. The days I’m hungry means I haven’t eaten enough protein. Everything has changed for the better for me. My sleep is better. My brain fog is gone! No more coma naps after I eat. I made a bunch of mistakes-like I blew off my electrolytes and suffered the consequences-fatigue, weakness and cramps. I did buy the electrolyte powder and it worked instantly! I also bought beet greens and ate them in my soup! I can really tell when I have my electrolytes managed well….keep calm and keto on! 💐🌷💜☮️

@@jennvalentine1894 so glad you got some relief. Never give up🤗
Have you stopped your medication
@@s.khanii I had a debilitating opiate addiction for 10 years and during that time my doctors had me on all kinds of different meds. Truthfully if it didn't give me immediate relief or give me a head change (high basically) I didn't give the medication a chance to work or not work. When I got sober 4 1/2 years ago through an outpatient program, I stopped taking all medications. The only thing I take now is ibuprofen for pain and Cymbalta for depression. Cymbalta can also be helpful for RA pain but I've never noticed any pain relief while taking it. Treatment taught me how not to let pain control my life and that has been a huge help. Never ever go off of benzos without a doctor's knowledge and help, it can be deadly.
I am not trying to lose weight. I am trying to get healthy.

I burned off 20 pounds of fat from my belly area about 4 months ago 😩 but I cheated on my Ketosis levels by eating snacks and sugar 🙃
and now I gained 9 pounds back again
But I'm now back on Keto again
A good way too make it work is too keep in mind that Keto shouldn't be an all the time thing. Pick a duration 3-6 months and keep too it for that time. It's much easier if its a temporary cycle rather than complete life style. Keto is great for weight lose but it's not the best for long term. Of course though keep in mind that when you do cycle out of Keto that you shouldn't be eating crap carbs like sugars and things. A bit in your sauce might be ok but don't go chugging coke and eating chocolate cake for dinner.
Find better carbs like Potato and Kumara (Sweet Potato).
For instance you could Keto for 3 months in winter and lose weight then enjoy yourself in summer. Or you could Keto is summer as vege and meat tends to cost less.
Feeling amazing day 2 !!!! Don’t feel hungry anymore it’s a fantastic diet I have done this many times and lost weight instantly lost a stone in a week
I followed keto diet and lost > 10kg in< 3 months. Thats in 2021, but once I started to eat as usual I got my weight back sadly. I think you need to continue keto to keep your weight. And I am starting out again.
I was raised to eat two meals or less per day and my family is very healthy. I remember feeling sick when I States eating 5-6 meals per day as persuaded by a personal trainer. I have Adult onset Type 1 diabetes and Graves with no known family history. The insulin spikes were obvious but I didn't know that was happening until I was diagnosed. Thanks for all that you do. There is alot of misinformation out there.
I think that Dr Berg offers great advice and a sound alternative to healthy living. But, with that said, Keto is not the only approach to losing weight and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I really like IF and it definitely has its benefits. I’ve been battling weight issues my entire life. So, I understand the consequences of being overweight and unhealthy. I learned how to focus on eating healthier, getting enough sleep and exercise. A caloric deficit is the key to maintaining healthier insulin levels, contributing to weight loss. I eat a bowl of rolled oats with a banana every day; I have a baked sweet potato every day as well. My insulin levels are in check and I’m not only feeling great, but I’m so much healthier. I’ve dropped a considerable amount of weight, and I find it easy to maintain this current weight loss. I realized that I was eating way to many calories a day; didn’t get the proper rest; and failed to incorporate exercise. I do IF and eat primarily 2 times a day, making SMART choices with my meals. I totally agree with Dr Berg on the importance of IF and how it effects the bodies ability to keep our insulin levels in check in order to burn fat. Everyone is different, and everyone will have different results. A caloric deficit is key to any weight loss program and insulin levels, especially combined with an IF style of living. Even Dr Berg says that although we’re not necessarily counting calories, a calorie reduction is evident when IF. So, don’t be afraid to experiment with different foods because Keto is not the only healthy option out there. And I want to be clear, I’m not against Keto. I just think that there are other options on the table for people looking to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Thank you so much for this comment. Made my day.
That's what I exactly wanted to know. I have started with keto and IF until I loose my weight n reach my goal. Then, to keep doing IF with normal food eating inclusive of fruits.
Very sensible! I tried keto a few years ago and the extra fat put so much strain on my liver that it nearly killed me. I’ll take some hints from Dr Berg but won’t be doing that to my liver again. You have a great approach and I wish you all the best!

Thank you for all this videos. I'm putting in practice as much as I can... Right now I had days where I can't afford nothing but pasta and pasta sauce and I still feel great... My health had improved so much, all the belching, gas and bloating it's completely gone. I also been exercising 4X week for the last 4 weeks HIIT
I know those days, what to eat to stretch the dollar, while going to school. One time I was 2wks and 1/2 from eating, Rent went up and so did energy cost. Winter was a cold one. and I di not have any boots, or winter hat, or gloves. Had an exam coming up and had to study. I had Popcorn seeds, that was All that I had, I thought if I popped it with baby oil, I could have some thing to munch on while I studied. The turn out was not good. but the results what came out, was baby oil smell. . I hated those days. Far too many have NO clue how many college students trying to make ends meet, work and school , and pay does not cover much after all the school courses , books and supplies and transportation to make it. I wonder how many go hungry. Pasta is starch, and the sauce if homemade is full of sugar. Home made. is I think is ok. To day I can not afford Eggs, and fish, because to cut costs, I do not have a refrigerator, or stove/oven, too costly to Run and too cost to buy energy efficient . I know there are many college students living in their cars. or found an apartment building with a boiler room . I live in the North, and it is too cold to be sleeping outside. Problem is far too many do not know where there are resources for Free meal, at a Mission , or food banks. They are around, welfare sometimes helps. Hopefully you can find these places near you to be able to afford the vegetables and fish needed.
Sardines in a can are very cheap. You could eat those twice per week. Be sure to take vitamins if your diet is very limited and you can't afford much meat. Good luck. I hope your financial situation improves.
I’ve learned more from you in 15 videos than I could ever imagine. You’ve given me soooo much hope. Information is gold-the right information. I ordered the keto kit and am so looking forward to the journey ahead. Thank you Dr. Berg💕 Now I return to catching up on the other 2485 videos🥳
Hi Cathy, I just started two weeks ago. How’s your progress going ?
So it's been a year now,,,,
I have the hardest time skipping breakfast. I'm not a morning person and it really helps me get going. But I usually find it pretty easy to skip dinner so that's just how I'm doing it for now.
Try less carbs and more animal protein. Its insane how much it helps
I'm about 2 months in ketosis. So many positive changes. I just found you online so informative. Thank you so much for the detailed information ❤
Glad you found it so useful!
We ♥️ your electrolyte powder. My daughter used to get migraines. She doesn't as much anymore but for an occasional headache, she gets relief taking your electrolyte powder.
Video suggestion: Why you have more energy later in the day
Some people like me tend to sleep alright and get a moderate amount of sleep, and still wake up feeling very tired, but slowly get more energy throughout the day.
Watching this and I have two more hours before I can eat to get to 18 hrs of fasting for the 1st time of I.F. ! The foods on here look amazing! 😛
Starting keto tomorrow after fasting. Fingers crossed.
Since I was a kid, if I eat something late at night I'm starving when I wake up. But, if I have an early meal the night before, I can go almost until noon without being hungry.
grumpstar7 me too
Same!
Yup!
I definitely feel really hungry the next morning if I eat ice cream the night before, it's crazy!!
@@aida087 you eat ice cream on keto?
I started my omad fasting 3 weeks now I've lost 6,5kg 😳 I'm feeling so good no sugary food only fruits,vegetables and meat
Fruits are full of sugar
If you eat fruit use berries and apples. Some Other fruits like pineapple. Watermelon, .
Bananas have more sugars.
you are consuming the good sugars and im sure your ratio of fruit to fat & meat is low. keep doing good things for yourself!
Now I have lost 11kgs in 7weeks someone always like so I tell you my progress,I'm so proud of myself and thank you Dr Berg once again you are truly a life saver ❤️
@@amapola1163 But it's natural sugars, which is great compared to processed sugars.
Omg. This is 100% true!! Been on heslthy keto and IF for 2weeks. SERIOUS RESULTS. All thanks to you Dr Berg.
I’m about to embark on this journey with my dad. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s about 8 years ago and just yesterday accepted my help. It’ll be a painful road. If anyone has tips to give me about this program will be gratefully appreciated. I will be checking out your website Dr. Berg 👍🏽
I started an IF routine before focusing on the details of WHAT I was eating, and did very well for over a week (which surprised me, I'm a boredom-snacker). Along with ACV in the morning I got my digestion straightened out quite a bit, my belly bloat was reduced, I had plenty of energy and just overall felt better. Then I weighed myself, and saw I'd gained 3lbs... xD So now I'm diving into the keto aspect of it to hopefully lose some body fat. We eat fairly healthy but I do love me some pasta and whole-grain bread, giving those up might be rough!
Thanks for the videos, especially these that just touch the basics. I prefer developing one habit at a time, trying to perfect it all at once would almost guarantee failure. Small steps!
I also like pasta a lot. You could plan out a pasta holiday once every 6 months, just knowing it's coming could make it easier.
