Today I want to cover nine signs you’re in ketosis.
Testing your ketones when you first start the keto diet can be helpful. But, the problem with testing your ketones long-term is that once you start to burn ketones efficiently, the tests aren’t very accurate.
Thankfully, there are nine clear signs that can tell you if you're in ketosis or not.
Top signs of ketosis:
1. No keto transitioning symptoms (keto flu, keto fatigue, keto rash)
2. Weight loss (initial water weight)
3. Loose clothes around the waist
4. An increase in energy
5. A boost in cognitive function
6. Less inflammation and pain
7. Feeling satisfied after eating
8. Better mood
9. No appetite

Dr. Berg, you have changed my life! It's not even about the weight (from 190 lbs to 130lbs), I am no longer obsessed with food, I have insane amounts of energy, I sleep better, my mind is clear, I no longer need anxiety medication, I look like I'm in my 20s (I'll be 43 this year)and I feel proud of myself and my new lifestyle (over a year now)! I am sharing your videos with everyone! Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 (I haven't yet done strictly healthy keto, but I do limit the amount of carbs I eat. I mostly fast between 16-18 hours every day with a 24 hour fast every week or two...i can't imagine how much improvements I will see once I do healthy keto!
Way to go! Isn’t is incredible the absolute change in every aspect of your life? I can feel in your comment how positive your life is after discovering the Keto way of nourishing your body. My oncologist recommended Keto 2 years ago to help me with the 28 lbs of fat I gained around my midsection following radical hysterectomy and immediate menopause following cancer surgery… it worked and like you I feel like I’m 30 years old again (I’m 58) and am constantly active and sleep a deep and restorative sleep. We are Blessed to have found Dr. Berg and the life changing information he shares with us. 🙏♥

Had hoped to find this exact comment. Thank you.
I never have appetite after I workout Like a long run or HIIT.. does that mean I body is in ketosis after workouts? I always hear people say they get super hungry after workouts but I never feel the same.
49 years old. I started my keto diet with intermittent fasting 3 1/2 months ago. I have lost 30 lbs, my belly disappeared very quickly, dropped 2 pant sizes, do 8 laps on the track and field almost every day as of now, only eat 2 x a day (9a & 3p), I'm eating foods I never thought I would, and lastly I feel great with lots of energy! A lot of the information for my journey was taken from this channel. Thank you Dr.!

69 years old was 200 pounds 2 years ago. Lost 65 ponds the first 6 months and have kept it off for a yr and a half. Went from a size 18 to a solid 10...I am gonna be 70 in July and everyone says you're almost 70??? No way!!! Sooo proud!! This is the 3rd time I've done it. You have to figure out what kind of snacks you like and turn them keto°°°mine was sweet...so many good recipes out there!!
Thanks Dr Berg, I'm so glad I've discovered your TH-cam channel, I'm 75yrs I'm following your "Keto" diet, I'm feeling 20yrs younger, walking 6km a day, have lots of energy lose some weight and eating once a day. You're a gift out of the hand of GOD ALMIGHTY. I've recommended you and your TH-cam videos to all my family & friends 🙌👏🙌👏
Great. Hope you are learning a lot here. Thanks for your comment. Have a nice day!

AWESOME JOB! I'm sure Big Pharma will be greatly dissappointed that the lost another client!
truly, you are a GREAT educator. These 9 signs are so simple, and it is so wonderful how you are pointing them out here, to clear out any confusion. TY.
No, it doesn't.
On month 9 of keto and fasting , now moved to carnivore and 335lbs down so far , 335 more to go, dropped 130lbs first 2 months just from the water weight, body was swollen with edema, started at 850lbs now down to 515, hoping to get to my goal in another year we’ll see, one day at a time. But dr bergs info definetly helps people!
That's 670lbs.
@@KNByam yes 850 - 670 is 180 my goal weight
Great job keep it going 👍 toast to your health. You should be as proud as a peacock 🦚.
That is incredible . I have started a week ago . I was drinking heavily , sugar addicted , i cant believe the difference a week makes . 1st of the new month i will weigh myself . I have no idea if it will be 470lbs ( a year ago) , 450, or 500 lbs. With no other choice left - this is my last chance .
Wow what an incredible weightloss. Keep going 🎉
Hello Dr. Berg. I am a 48 years old portuguese. I started intermitent fasting, keto diet and exercice and i lost 16kgs in 2 months. I am with the weight i had at 18 years old and i MUST thank you. I learned from you what is keto diet and the way to do it. I do not have enough words to thank you. You already changed my life.
This has changed my life. 43 year old now. I have been hospitalised with treatment resistant, severe clinical depression since my early 20s. Had ECT treatment as in in patient on a psyche ward for 3 months. Didn't work.
I have yo-yo'd in my weight due to eating my feelings & drinking excessively and anti-psychotic meds that defined my life.
Calorie counting worked to a point... but old habits soon creep back in. Weight went down.. depression kicked in...weight went up. Rinse. Repeat.
I have gone from 400 lbs down to 190 lbs up to 370 lbs 3 times since 2018. This was my last chance... this year, then I was going to give up. Everyrhing. I was done.
Jan 10th... 361 lbs. On 3 prescription meds for depression, anxiety, and mynheart. Pre-diabetic.
July 19th... 235 lbs (on the way to 190). No meds. I walk every day. 6 to 12 g carbs max. OMAD. Apple Cider Vinegar... I use Saunas... I use electrolytes... I use BVitamins, DVitamins I use milk thistle, riboflavin etc etc... but I eat clean keto. Salmon, eggs, chicken, chia, cottage cheese, brocolli, asparagus
And now...
No meds. Blood Sugar avg is 4.5. No depression. No anxiety. I sleep 7 hours and wake gladly at 5.00am
I have saved my life and enhanced it in ways I never thought I would. I should and would have been dead.
I'm thinking of working again.
This isn't a miracle but feels like one.
Calorie counting isn't enough. Slimming world is a disgrace... I've taken my time to understand and research all the processes and science behind the ketoenic lifestyle... the value of acetic acid and fasting. How vitally important sleep is.
This all starts and ends in your mind. Everything else happens secondarily.
Dr Berg. I thank you for your guidance. Also equally Thomas deLauer and James Smith for talking sense.
This stuff works. If you meet these guys halfway...and put in the work, you can save your life.
Good luck to you all.
(apologies for the meandering ramble, but this is only youtube, and it's a brain dump. I am usually more eloquent than this).
Again bless you all.
OMG 😳 🤩 how I wish these successes were known!! Thank you so much for sharing 🎉
Amazing results and success with a made-up mind. Thank you for sharing.🎉🎉
Please watch Dr Sten Ekberg as well, he is excellent at explaining how it all works.
Congratulations! Wonderful!
Too long-winded.
I am writing to you from Greece and you have changed my life. I've never been overweight, but I've gained a few extra pounds over the last decade, which I'm slowly losing. But what I did not expect is the miracle that intermittent fasting brought to the biggest problem that had been tormenting me for over 20 years or so. The very frequent (almost daily) headaches. With the omad method, which I have been following for some time, it has decreased drastically. No doctor could find the cause. No doctor thought that my insulin and glucose levels might be too high. Doctors were loading me with various pills, while there is such a simple solution for our health. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤
My headaches stopped also, amazing and unexpected. Amongst many other health benefits. My headaches stopped due to change of diet (LCHF), not time restricted eating - which I started unintentionally several months later.
@@margaretgibbs1007 That's great. I'm glad it helped you.
I know that if I had put even more weight on the keto diet, my results would have been even better and faster. Anyway, I noticed a big difference. I reduced a lot of sweets, but did not eliminate them completely. Maybe I'll get around to it sometime. But omad taught me to break the bad habit of emotional eating. In recent years, I've always had a craving for chocolate and other unhealthy snacks like potato chips, etc. At least I don't have space for that now, although I sometimes treat myself to a piece of chocolate at the end of a meal. It's great to get rid of bad habits and watch how positively things suddenly change.
Wow 🤩 that’s so awesome to read!
Έλα ρε μπράβο!!! Συνέχισε έτσι υγεία πάνω απ'ολα

Problem with health nowadays is it cost so much money to go to the hospital . But this guy hasn’t just changed my life but my health for the better . And this is why I subscribe .
Less inflammation via autophagy, IF and healthy keto is very motivating.
Almost 4 months of doing strict keto and intermittent fasting I hit 50 lbs loss. I have about 30-40 more lbs to go. Thank you Dr Berg for all the helpful information on our bodies! I never was able to do this but keto has been the one. Mentally and physically.
That's fantastic! Congratulations! I would love to hear about your success! Please use this link to upload your story:

Congratulations. What's your routine to lose that much in four months? Thanks in advance.
Is your goal just to lose weight?
@@Moose185 yes.
Eat the best quality beef you can afford, be that burger patties, mince/ground beef or steaks, eat once a day as much beef as you like, cooked in grass finished butter or tallow, after 90 days you can try to introduce eggs, cheese, an white meats, good luck :)
@@cosmic_1111
My friends laugh at me doing keto. I already lost 35 lbs since March 2023. It has been 4 months then. Both of my friends are not thin and they have big mid sections. I adviced them to do this diet, and still bugged off the idea. They are still laughing and insisted that keto is not for everyone.
One of my friends did a blood test recently. He is now Prediabetic, 6.4 on his A1C, also high uric acid, cholesterol. I adviced again, they shrugged off the idea. The other friend, has heart disease. This day, they still insist that keto diet is not universal. They laugh at my progress.
Now I focus on my progress and just let them be. I dont want to laugh at them or ridicule even. I just pity deep inside.
Dr. BERG, I really admire your content here on TH-cam. Thank you for this! Because of you, I am doing amazing progress and also on the safe side.
Cheers
Yes, best to focus on your progress and hopefully they will see by your example! Keep it up!
Sometimes understandings come from unexpected situations. Like maybe they get invited to a party and only keto foods is available and they won’t be hungry for a day or so 😅
another one as well as being able to go longer without getting hungry, is being able to not get moody, feeling shaky or unable to concentrate between meals. Not just not hungry but not 'hangry' too.
This is seriously so cool to read 🎉🎉
number 9! That is the kicker for me. Cause I am almost never hungry and almost have to force myself to eat. My meals are much smaller and I am fine just even eating someting small cause I don't feel the need or want to eat and don't have any hunger pains. If exercising, I may get a grumble, but to be honest, after about 5-10 minutes it disappears and I am back to feeling satiated again.
So glad I stumbled on this video!
Thank you!
I knew nothing about the Keto diet. I recently made a few adjustments in my diet in order to lose a few pounds for the new year. I have lost 5 pounds in 10 days! I started to get worried because I thought I was doing something wrong. after doing some research, I discovered that I was actually on a Keto diet, without knowing it. I am now fascinated and consuming all the information I can about this diet. I am flabbergasted at the amount of weight I have lost in such this short period of time.
Making the world healthier one video at a time. Thanks Doc!
Glad to help!
I wish I saw this earlier because I lost 6kg In the first 20 days and when I was losing barely anymore weight I fell off the diet for a month, but this video is helping me because I’m going to retry, keep up the good work everyone
I started KETO almost 13 months ago, not to lose weight but to regain health and get off three prescriptions. I jumped in blindly in the beginning then discovered you Dr. Berg and also added intermittent fasting to the KETO. I am so grateful to have lost 79 pounds so far and I didn't think it would be possible for me to lose even one pound. I feel so much better and plan to stay on track for the rest of my life. Thank you for your very valuable videos that have made this possible.
Nearly exact same results/time table.. A1c from 6.4 to 5.0.. I'm just chapped it took me to late midlife to learn this..
Congratulations! Wonderful!
thanks a million Dr. Berg. I've started your recommended keto diet now I'm the 4th day. The flu is gone, I slept like a baby last night. and have lost 7lbs in 3 days (I know it's my water weight), and the most amazing thing is, my eye sight has improved tremendously!! I suddenly don't need glasses to read my cellphone which hasn't been happening since a year ago. My shoulder and waist pain has been improved a lot, I feel more energy today, and of course in a much better mood too. So just wanted to say, you are amazing, there are so many misleading info. about Keto out there that really makes people misunderstand Keto, so glad you have make it all so corrected and presented to us.
I was going to add not being hungry while fasting but there it is , elevated mood, more energy , weight loss , clothes looser, chess piano improved, food more satisfying, all happening , I love it.
Signs 4 & 5 are the most fun to experience. You're done with exercise but your energy level is through the roof. It feels like you have more energy after than before. With high ketone levels your bio computer is kinda in turbo mode. You feel like you process more information than before. Your mind is sharp like a leopard on the hunt. Doc, You could add sign 10. Faster wound healing. I had a bad cut on the hand. Weak later healed, another week i couldn't tell the exact spot.
🤩 Awesome 👏 Thanks for sharing!
@@lesliecollingridge63 Done with today exercise session.
Wow I really needed this video when I started Keto in April. I had to find out by experience why my weight loss was slowing down or stopping altogether. 15kg lost so far and anther 15kg to go. So hard to believe my overweight fat is/was 33.3% of my bodyweight. I gained the weight when I cured my hyperthyroidism. I'm now hypothyroid, so if I can lose kilos anyone can.
Thank for sharing this video.
This is so accurate. I’m on a medically supervised diet & i test my ketones (by blood test) every day. All of these symptoms are accurate. Great video thank you Dr Eric
Thank you for this. This actually explains a lot.. especially #9. It was not making sense to me how I could stay on longer without any craving while I was working out, eating less and still loosing weight.
Been following your for over 5 years. Love the continuous tips and advice. Keto is amazing!
Very glad to be of help.
Merci Monsieur.
And thank you for the care you take with your speech and articulation, which makes your videos so much easier to understand for viewers who are not native English speakers.
All of this apps to me now on two years of keto life style. 125 lbs lost no pain and so happy at 71
Great video. I am constantly debating whether intermittant fasting or ketogenic diet is better. I think 24 hour fasting is much easier to actually do. It's more straight forward and you are more sure that you are not cheating if all you're consuming is water. But I love it when my body is in ketosis. It takes discipline, but it's highly effective. I think either or both are great as long as you eat clean.
Grateful for you and these videos. Big changes happening for me for first time in 59 years. THANK YOU 💙
Amazing 🎉
I'm glad for you!
Writing from the UK. I started the Carnivore diet 4 weeks ago. I have lost over 18lbs. Sleep has improved 10 fold. I no longer have sleep apnea. Energy is through the roof, just to sort out the coffee and alcohol intake. I mainly eat beef, chicken, eggs and fish. I stopped eating bread 6 weeks ago due to IBS and started to cut out all carbs snacks etc. Also I finding that I'm drinking approximately 2-2.5 litres of sparkling water per day.
Thank you for the video.
I can now say I am totally in ketosis. Thank you so much, Dr.Eric Berg. My support for you will always be forever. More power to you.
I appreciate your support! Glad to help!
This is the first time of all the nutritional/diet/lifestyle videos I've seen (which is a lot) where someone bothered to take the time to explain what water weight actually is. I appreciate that so much, thank you for that!
So glad to help!
Grayzelfx, Same here
Same actually!
58 and 6ft4...now 5 months into OMAD/keto I started one evening thanks to these videos and the comments...never believed it was that simple...
from 300 to 240 pounds...with help of some extra fasting days... and feeling great... still 20 pounds to go
saw all the videos more than once, but this video refreshes my memory and helps me a lot...
would like to thank you
gracias, from Spain
Fantastic!
WOW, great video. That’s a lot of what I’ve been experiencing, couldn’t believe the more energy until I watched the video
THANK YOU! We ALL appreciate your honest, helpful, and thoroughly explained content. You are a fantastic person, sharing all your knowledge to help us!
Very glad to be of help!
Dr. Berg, you have been the best inspiration in getting my life back healthy as I was failing at it without the right information that I needed for years, and I want to thank you for being who you are and what you do to help so many people including myself!!!!
My pleasure!
This video is truth! It all happened to me! I'm 16 days in keto and I've experienced all 9! All glory to God! Thank you Dr. Berg!
Wonderful! Well done!
16 days only? Wow
I've been on clean keto for only 6 days, and I feel so different! It is really amazing, next week I will start exercising every day. I am on a super low carb keto. So I had to adjust, my energy levels are defiantly rising!
I’ve planned my next keto diet to start on the Monday next week. My plan of action is to go for a 2 stone drop in weight from 15 stone down to 13 stone.
I’m going to cut of sugar completely and any for of carbohydrates sticking to mainly red meats and vegetables. I’m also going to implement intermittent fasting into the mixture of things staying under a 1000 caloric restriction.
I know I have to do this to help me mentally as well as majorly my physical health. I’m also doing 10-15k steps a day currently. This whole year has been about trying to transform from being overweight to a more healthy and sustainable lifestyle for myself.
This is almost exactly how I went from 425 to 210 and a size 60 to a 34. in the beginning I was losing like 5lbs a week and dropped to about 1-2 somewhere near 250lbs. Losing weight also caused my shoes to go down a size and I grew like 2inches taller.
decompressed joints? 🤔
@@lewis-mindscrambler987 your abs are the counter to your back muscles. when you are overweight it stretches them out your abs so that you are shorter. (I dont know the technical jargon, i just know I am 2 inches taller than I was)
@@MrRabiddogg ah, so posture based on musculoskeletal angles being release so to speak. nice
@@lewis-mindscrambler987 I'm guessing. If you think about it, your spine is a huge spring. If its bent due to your stomach bulging it won't be as tall.
Omad?
I do one meal a day but am not strictly following low carb. My hunger has been gone for a couple years now. I think the body will adapt even though you’re not fully in ketosis. The body is a brilliant learning power house and adjusts. I have no appetite issues during the day in my fasting window.
Dr Berg, you may be getting tired of all the praise, but let me add to them. You are clear, informative and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you. I went from 94 kilos to 83 and need to lose 4 more. Feeling great. You are the best.
You’re the best informative and straightforward chanel.
Thank you so much.
Thank you Dr for being so amazing. I started IF and keto a week ago. I'm still consuming some carbs but my hunger is going away slowly and every time I get confused your videos help like this one ❤
Wonderful! Glad to help!
Thank you Dr Eric. Went on keto 4 months ago and was peeing like a horse for the first few weeks! I love spinach and salads anyway, so I never had keto flu. I went all in from the start with 16:8 fast which I continue to this day. Keto is now a way of life rather than a diet. I've lost almost 60lbs and my waist has gone from almost 40 inches, back to my younger 34 inches. I'm 67, never been on meds and always felt quite fit. However, I feel fitter than I have ever been and my mood is mostly super composed - neither hyper up or hyper down, which happened on occasions in the past. I wish I went on keto 30 years ago. Thank you for all your advice and recommendations. You are a godsend, sir🙏👍
Awesome 👏 thanks for sharing 🎉
Regret not knowing some of these health lessons BEFORE i had cancer, my gall bladdrr was removed, n became diabetic n put on metformin. Trying a new way to eat n live n have lost some weight. So much happier! TY

So cool 👍 🎉🎉
Incredible!
Lost 8 pounds in two weeks starting Keto. Then leveled off before losing a total of 16 pounds. I did do IF but was losing so much weight I had to stop. I continue to do Keto but can only fast12 to 15 hours a couple of times/week . Thank you Dr. Berg.
Weight resistance exercises increases muscle 💪 mass, bones, ect.
Glad you're on the right track.

Wonderful!
Dr. Berg. Great video and your 4th point makes a lot of sense. When your body burns fat instead of carbs, it burns more calories since it's more per gram.
The repair done to the nervous system and cognitive function, your mood and energy levels makes the ketogenic diet a great tool for people healing from CPTSD that stems from childhood trauma (or any long term trauma.)
Dr. Berg, you are the man. You are helping millions. This was an awesome video. Happy Health to Everyone.
Happy you found it useful! Be well!
I trusted you Dr Berg and my life has improved 100%. I love the science behind eating fat as main fuel. I left the keto diet after going from 17 stone to 12/4. Put all the weight back on and had a heart attack. Back on keto, weight down to 14/9. Never hungry, belly disappearing.
Wow 😯 thanks for sharing!
Wow.. useful info. I have been testing with Keto strips, and that is good to know. It makes sense. I actually thought I was doing something wrong.
I’m an older male body builder. Thank you for the MCT oil idea. I could never, ever get through my fast without protein snacks. MCT fixed this. I now am back to my high school weight and terrific body definition. Grateful. You know what you speak.
Again, a million thanks, Doctor Eric. i always learn something new from your brilliant videos.
Happy you found it useful! Be well!
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:13 📊 Traditional ketone tests like urine and breath tests are not very accurate for tracking ketosis.
01:37 🥗 Symptoms like keto flu, fatigue, and rash may occur during transition into ketosis, but can be mitigated through proper nutrition.
03:12 ⚖️ Initial weight loss on keto is largely due to water weight, and sustainable fat loss is around 1-2 pounds per week.
05:44 🔋 Ketosis leads to increased energy levels as fat offers more calories per gram than carbs.
10:05 🍽️ Loss of appetite is the best indicator of being in ketosis, as your body starts utilizing stored fat as energy.
This diet saved my life in 2018 due to insulin resistance, fertility problems and depression. Years later I’ve started it again after having a baby in 2019 and again my depression has lifted and again losing weight. This diet is incredible. Keeping up with it for the long term is the challenge.
Thank you, Dr. Berg!! I so appreciate all this info. I've been on carnivore for 1 month and haven't lost much weight, aside from the initial 5 Lbs. or so, buy my midsection seems to have re-shaped itself; my joints feel much better and I'm only hungry twice per day.
Thanks a lot for the video 🙏🏾 I’m glad to get regular updates on the ketogenic diet. I’m doing well so far maintaining the lifestyle along with weights in my fitness routine
Had a heavy sugar intake no focus i was keep forgeting things started with zero intake. first week was hell
feel like an addict headache, tired no mood to do anything sleeping issues.
after a week i feel like an new person. 🙂
Keeping myself motivated watching this on a fast / diet change. Going to get lean and healthy :)
One missing item on that list is that you feel warmer.
Thanks for sharing!
Actually you should feel colder.
I feel warmer as well.
Definitely experiencing the increase in energy and clarity of mind.
I won’t go exactly into it, but wow I finally did it!!! I feel great all the way around biggest thing I had to tell myself was “if your not hungry don’t eat!” I can hear you saying it haha
Thanks for the insight.
Love Keto love your work Eric and follow as closely as I can but am not able to digest the greens ( which I love ) . None the less I am so much better since meeting your channel , thank you .
Most welcome! Be well!
If you can’t have greens, you may want to try Dr Berg’s wheatgrass juice powder since it doesn’t have fiber but still provides very important nutrients.
I cut down on carbs drastically 3 days ago, upped the amount of veggies, but more importantly more protein, from meats and other sources. 3 days on, and I have entirely stopped snacking in between the meals (which I did very often), and I feel full, nearly all the time. But it's not the "I'm feeling sick" kind of fullness, this one is nice. And I got so much done in the last couple of days. So much extra energy! Can't wait to see where this leads.
Day 33 of my 40 days and 40 nights water fast. 41.3lbs lost so far. One thing I’ve noticed is that I’m pretty acidic right now, and might be experiencing some gouty symptoms in my ankle and in my left collarbone. But then again, past couple of days, I haven’t hydrated properly either.
Overall, I’m extremely happy that I started this journey, and am accomplishing what I set out to do in the beginning, which was to do a hard reset on my life.
And while that had a lot to do with weight loss, it also had to do with removing toxic people from my life, social media, alcohol, and making room in my life for more important things, like learning new skills for a new career, finances, and just life in general.
PLEASE, please, please make sure your taking good healthy strong ELECTROLYTES !!!!

Wow!! Way to go!!
@@genxena23 Thanks. It’s been an interesting and challenging journey, but God has guided me through. Still have a full week to go. Pray for me.
@@HoodieSource You're doing awesome! You definitely inspire me!
Bad breath was also a sign of ketosis for me and my wife. Bad sweat smell also
I also had issues of bad sweat smell. Using coconut oil on my body and under my arms solved that for me!
Chlorophyll drops in your water would solve that just fine
I just noticed the bad sweat smell today I wasn’t sure what it was haha that makes sense
On my 5th week of keto. I did get an itchy rash about 2-3 weeks in. With the help of castor oil it went away in 2 days. So far I am enjoying it. It is IF and keto for me.
Idk what to say man I love you and your content I can’t stop
Good morning Dr Berg.Owsome episode.l am getting better with your keto guidean.Thank you so much for your advice and keto recipes.Have a nice day dr Berg and your team ❤🙏👍
Very glad to be of help.
I can always tell by the way i feel... better clean energy. Just an overall feeling of well-being.
I'm glad for you!
Almost every step that you talked about I have had. I was actually really concerned that I had stopped my metabolism or went into starvation mode because I have lost my appetite. Thank you for clarifying that.
Sure. Thanks for watching the video. Take care.
Thank you so much Dr Berg ❤
I’m feeling all these symptoms 100% I was stunned today, I had to stop and think why is the lupus on my scalp not inflamed ? Of course I thought right away it’s the diet , I have outweighed all the positive benefits of keto diet and it’s been 8 months now and I’m loving I’m not hungry , my mind has days where it’s clear etc, and my memory can be good, I have less sleep , but i is have more energy through the day, and I am more patient with everyone including my pets too. I’m really enjoying the benefits of ketosis and I hope it will be my ultimate change of lifestyle .
That’s awesome 👏 yes, he explains this in some videos on lupus, on memory, moods, ect. ❤
@@KetoWorks only problem is I don’t get enough sleep , but I have to say I have lots of energy through the day . I might fall asleep about 10pm but wake up at 12am and find it hard to fall asleep until maybe 2 am and then I’m awake from 6 am . What is doing this ? No carbs ? Too much coffee during the day ? I try stop my coffee intake about midday and I stick to herbal tea from there on
@@kyliejacobs6817 Right, stopping conventional coffee will surely help. But Dr Berg has videos on the benefits of a SMALL cup of organic coffee, in the mornings. Also, some of Dr Berg’s videos /articles on waking up in the night / on sleep in general, may help. Also on the adrenals. Using his data, I now sleep 😴 very well through the night.
I'm on a ketovoire diet. It has ABSOLUTELY CHANGED MY LIFE!!! I used to be vegetarian. I was tired all the time, hungry all the time, and suffered from severe depression and anxiety. Since going ketovoire, I have experienced all of these 9 signs. The ones that really stand out to me, is the crazy amount of energy I have now, no pain anywhere in my body, no longer have gut issues, and the biggy: My depression and anxiety has just vanished! I feel happy all the time. It has been the greatest blessing in my life!!! I would encourage anyone to try it, (keto), just for 30 days. It has been amazing. I wish I had discovered this diet sooner. But it takes things to get really bad, before you find really good. Thank you, Dr. Berg, for spreading the word. ❤
My long term depression and anxiety also vanished ( not through any specific diet - but just through cutting out junk food ). Isn't it LOVELY !! I had it since a child, so I couldn't IMAGINE what NORMAL people without depression and anxiety feel. It felt like an impossible reality that I never would experience. It's amazing what food does to us !
Excellent information and explanation as to why my keto urine strips don't work ! My stomach does not do well with raw salads, but it's so easy to chop up and sauté a bunch of veg in organic butter whilst preparing the protein. My gut loves that !
This is pretty accurate and great information
Glad you found it useful!
Good morning and thank you!!! God bless you always!!!!!
Most welcome! Be well!
After losing about 50lbs I did notice that I got stuck at a certain point in weight. What I realized though is that my pants was getting looser on my waist. Am energetic don’t hunger and that is why I know it’s still working ❤
Dr. Berg, thank you. I am in recovery from a 10 month long infection following e-coli, and this plan has finally freed me from the after effects of that, and the medication that I was on, cleansed me, in fact. Again, thank you.
This Doctor needs to be cloned and put into EVERY medical school to re-educate doctors with correct information about HEALTH. He is brilliant, and a gem of a person to anyone with common sense about how to improve their health in a sustained way.. I just love learning from his simple to understand videos. I respect this man immensely. 😊👍
I follow the great doctor's advice and plan and it seems like a miracle. Everything he says is 1000% spot on.
All those 9 signs are exactly what I have.
But I made one change in the time I eat my one meal per day. First it was at 17:00 but I read a new research saying that the best for the glucose in the blood is to eat in the first 8 hours after you wake up. Now I eat at 13:00 and it is so much better. I get much more energy during the day that I can use and I also sleep much better.
Once more Thank You so Much Dear Doctor.
Superb video!
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Peace love and blessings!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Amazing video. Thank you from the bottom of my heart as always!!!!
You're very welcome! Glad you liked the video.
Dr Berg has helped me understand my body much better. Most of my life; I've been very thin and rarely get hungry. In fact for me, the problem is actually eating in the first place. This was always a very confusing experience for me, because most people I know have to watch their appetites because they can eat and eat and eat. I just can't do that! When I go to a restaurant, I can only eat half of the meal, I save the rest for another time, etc. I never understood why until I found Dr. Berg's videos. See, my dad died when I was a child and my mom had to work all the time; so I basically fed myself. So, growing up, I ate very rarely; because honestly I was much more interested in video games. There was a period of time, I would wake up and just eat bacon and eggs. Looking back; it makes a lot of sense that I wasn't hungry - I must have been in ketosis. It wasn't something wrong with my body - it was the fact that since being a kid; I ate few carbs, and rarely ate 3 meals a day. So, I must not have felt hungry because I was not consuming enough carbs to be hungry like other people.
Nowadays I've confirmed this because, if I wake up and start eating carb-heavy food straight away; then I get much more hungry and I can eat a lot of carbs throughout the day. But its kinda funny how to become hungry; one has to eat...
In my case I am also a very thin, but always hungry and eat at least 3 times per day. Have some insulin resistance, and I feel like if I'm start this keto thing I would die because I have no visual fats.
Even a super thing person has fat available for the body to burn, I wouldn't worry about it. Eating carbs is a life of suffering. Once you get off them, you realize that they were causing most of your stomach and bathroom problems. Personally when I don't eat carbs like bread and rice and sugar, I have almost no problems. That in itself is quite motivating to be honest... having pains in the bathroom sucks!@@vadymvv
9 out of 9. So grateful to you Dr. Berg. No regrets and I will never go back.
I'm glad for you!
Dr.Berg there’s one missing. Normally I am extremely allergic to pollen during the spring, but since I’ve started keto diet 3 weeks ago, I haven’t sneezed once! It’s life changing, thank you 🙏
Keto diets are amazing ! So glad to find this channel , keep up the great work 🥂
Thanks for watching!
See below why I need to check into Dr Berg's Videos on a regular basis.
Back in February 2023 i was 185 Kg I watched Your videos and finally decided to give it a go. Its now July 14 and just weighed in at 152.4 Kg. Everything in this video is going on in my life now. The main battle I have had lately is that my weight loss has slowed but after watching this i realised my average 1 Kg a week is really good. I'm not walking yet as i have a tricky knee but the energy levels are thru the roof. Typically I now eat 2 times a day and the hunger signals are now very weak. A drink of water will put them to sleep for over an hour and this never happened before. When i do this i'm get a mental boost because I know that is when i'm burning fat. Doctor took me off my Diabetes meds as i showed him an average of 6,0. Surprisingly cholesterol is really good 4.6 last week.
Awesome 👏
Oh dr. Berg, it's always wonderful Intel, IMMENSELY helpful.
I maintained healthy weight on Keto Lifestyle, but then gained weight during lockdown by eating regularly. Now 60 - I'm doing keto thoroughly for 10mths and haven't lost weight at all and don't know what I'm doing wrong in fact for the first time I have a big belly of never had a large belly before. BUT. I trust if I keep scaring your videos I will come across the reasons and insights into where I may be going wrong... I suspect my hormones... Anyhoo THANKYOU 🙏🌿🌏🍃💚
Some of Dr Berg’s videos /articles on weight loss plateau may help.
Glad to see your videos are back up, TH-cam must have changed their mind.
Thank you! Your information is extremely helpful! Started Keto and IF again and feel SO much better!!!!
