DAY 8 on PURE Keto...no cheats like I've done in the past 1) Pants falling off now 2) Diarrhea still sometimes 3) More energy 4) Waking up with less overall pain 5) Heart racing at slightest anxiety stopped 5) Skin and face noticeably different 6) Eye redness in morning going way 6) Metalic morning taste in mouth gone 7) Gums not sore 8) Oily skin drying out 9) Testosterone levels coming back 10) Overall body pain subsiding 11) "Dizzy" feeling gone 12) Eating without feeling tired I'm not exaggerating any of this
Thank you for sharing this observation. I experience the metallic taste in the morning sometimes. Today, I'm day 8 on keto and IF and have not experienced it. I'm wondering now if the metallic taste comes from carb and/or sugar consumption.
@@mariesmith504 I think someone said it's linked to Kidneys or LIver. I had the taste all the time when I was insulin resistant. I posted this comment 2 months ago, and still doing Keto. And honestly I haven't had ONE "metalic taste" morning for about 2 months. Even if I forget to brush my teeth some nights. So Keto has DEFINITELY stopped it. In fact my overall gum health is just better.
My results are over 3 months and not as dramatic as yours, but the effects have been positive. Fasting Glucose levels are almost normal again (they were like quadruple what they should have been. Down to 118 mg/dL today after an initial diagnoses of diabetes 2 months ago with a fasting glucose of 300 mg/dL. All of my other metrics have moved back into green, except Hdls. I need to get them up. They dropped in the beginning of the diet surprisingly, but I am eating a lot more pro-HDL foods, and I haven't had it measured again yet.
Dr. Berg is spot on when he says you loose water weight then plateaus and grow muscles. I am going through this phase right now. I lost 7lbs in 2 weeks, no exercise, just on the keto diet, and haven’t been able to lose anymore weight since. My belly shrunk and I am seeing more muscle growth like he said. This guy knows his stuff. We appreciate you Dr. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hi im Marlene from south africa, i just started this diet 2 weeks ago and already lost over 2kg. I don't feel hungry, already seeing a decrease needed in my meds. Cut down on meds as sugar levels are dropping. Very happy, thank you Dr Berg!!!
I followed your keto plan Dr. Berg, not really for weight loss, but for health, I was already athletic, after 6 months I lost 15lbs of the little fat I had and muscles, but I felt good and energized, especial on OMAD, but too many complaints from the wife, saying I look like a skeleton, but I felt better than I did for years, I'm 52 and was working out twice a day, too much cardio I think, so I'm going to do 2 meals a day, but staying on keto , it's feels really great to be in ketosis, thank you for the inspiration
If you're trying to put on muscle you can even scale it up to 3 meals a day. 4-6 eggs in morning, 8-12 oz burger for lunch, 8-12 oz salmon for dinner, of course with 7-10 cups of veg each day
Honestly my hunger and cravings have gone, my mood is up, I’m calmer emotionally. I’m still surprised, well slightly shocked by it. I love it. Thank you Dr Berg.
Many of us began Healthy Keto/IF for severe stress or depression, losing weight is a side affect. I did and my severe depression lifted within two weeks, and continued to go away weekly, I felt like a new person by the end of the second month. It might sound like a lot of work to eat a Keto/IF lifestyle but it's so much easier just eating real food, stay away from prepackaged food, and it's very worth it, the body will detox many toxins on it's own. Feeling like a million bucks again is priceless.
I had to go watch this again now that I am 3 weeks into HEALTHY Keto to make sure I am doing it right. I am 56 and had Hodgkin's Lymphoma twice in my 20's. I had my spleen removed, and my body has been radiated from head to legs causing residual problems. I have fatty liver disease, chronic sinus issues, fatigue, depression, and now the last couple of years...IBS and 23 polyps in my colon were removed last year. The medicine from my gastroenterologist was not working, so I had to take 2 Immodium a day and Pepto Bismol just to leave my house to do anything. I haven't taken anything in over 2 weeks, my weight is coming off slowly, and I am not spending days in the bathroom until I am bleeding. I had given up on ever feeling better! I am actually looking forward to my blood work and Mammogram to see if I have an improvement in all of it. If you have any inflammatory issues, this is the right plan. I still have a long way to go, but I am starting to feel well enough to live my life again, including hitting the trails beyond my home. THANK YOU! My goal is still weight loss, but also to make smart choices for life.
Fantastic! Answered 6 of my questions 😊 and yes inches over weight. I've been doing this for 2 weeks, lost 5 lbs but also lost 13 inches!! And also notice less chronic pain.
I started reading labels a long time ago and I virtually don’t purchase anything prepackaged, processed, or pre-made anything. I buy fresh or frozen meats and prepare all my meals at home. That way know what im getting and I control what goes in my food. It’s frustrating buying food that has so many unnecessary extra ingredients. These are all great tips. Learning more and more!
I was just in Sam's club looking at the Atkins' bars and I noticed most of what Dr Berg mentioned here. I had an employer that was on the Atkins'diet and I explained to him how it's not as good as his doctor sold him on, he sounded receptive, but had that defeated tone in his voice. I don't think he wanted to put effort into his diet anymore. He was over it. On the flip side, I'm a trucker and I lost 30 lbs with keto and intermitted fasting without exercise, due to how often I'm sleeping or driving. I also told my chiropractor of Dr Berg and Dr Ken Berry. He sounds very receptive. My brother and I are going to turn our carbs down to zero with the carnivore diet for the month on January. Then, ease back into ketovore. I'm looking forward to the challenge.
"Get healthy to lose weight ". For the 1st time ever I applied that to my life. I lost 100 lbs and I'm off all meds and I've never felt better. I just followed Dr Bergs guidance. Thanks brother !!!
Omg I started this plan and then noticed my husband was losing 5ibs and I was only losing 1lb per week. I also used to lose a lot of weight in a few days in my 40’s! Now late 50’s it seems to be really slow. I stopped. Thank you for these pointers I’m starting again knowing I’m doing the right things. Thank you 😊
I went from 87.318kg (13.7st) to 67.586kg (10.6st) in 8 months using Dr. Eric Bergs advice 👍 Total of 20kg / 3.1st lost in 8 months. Once you're a month or two in, the cravings were totally gone and the internal disappointing of wasting all of the initial effort kept me from nibbling any carbs. It really helped with my mental health too.
Dr Berg your videos inspire me to keep at Keto Big TY , I'm prediabetic from inactivity over the last 11yrs after a near fatal car accident no drugs or alcohol involved I'm almost 61 now i crushed 2 vertebrae C5 & C6 also had 10 full days of total Amnesia scary I've come back from being a living ghost, I have spinal cord syndrome aftert the bone graft surgery, recovery to a descent level took 4 yrs , I'm able to walk and use my arms very luckily but cant run thou nerve signals are disjointed only 5% with this injury are mobile, my GP wants me to do a GTT but I'm afraid it may do some real harm as I've cut my carbs right back hugely no bread no rice no pasta no potato no sodas added Sardines, Shellish Salmon, Greek Yogurt Aged Cheeses only low carb veggies cauliflower, Brussels sprouts broccoli cabbage , reduced fruit to berries and half an apple or orange every other day initially lost 4kgs in first month I have the classic belly which is reducing 😊 down to the first hole on my belt now , started walking quite a bit now Energy level and clarity of mind has been excellent ! even managed to fast 15hrs quite often Without any side effects which amazes me as I loved a huge Breakfast down to 2 meals a day , only one day was a bit lethargic in last 2 months not even the whole day i didnt drink enough & have enough fat recouped quickly after rehydrating and eating One thing I keep in mind is it took many yrs to become like this it'll take a while to overcome that I know I'm lucky no cravings or hunger between meals either once again Thanx
You are awesome Dr. Berg, I have watched hundreds of hours on keto from numerous resources and absolutely love it as a lifestyle. This puts it all together and I truly appreciate you.
I've been doing this for a while and the tips that I needed to hear most were the last 2 reminders!! I REwatch certain Dr. Berg videos often, and this one will be on my list!
I love his question to Karen about a cheat day!!🤣😂I have lost inches galore but no more weight loss and I am glad for that. In the beginning I lost 14 pounds and never lost anymore weight. But I have not done 100% Keto either.
I went grainless and sugar less and the weight loss and lack of bloating was immediate. I guess I was so unhealthy, now I don't feel pregnant every night after snacking. I also lost my appetite or addiction to sugar and bread after like 10 days. I thought it would be a lot of suffering and will power but nope I feel normal eating salads steak and cheese in 2 meals a day. I don't miss the muffins and sodas like I thought I would. Thanks Dr. Berg
I’ve got a tip to help you use a lot less salad dressing! You could even start with just one tablespoon of dressing and put your salad in a very large bowl and toss with the dressing. It gets everywhere but it’s just a light coat. Hopefully this helps someone
Years ago I went on a diet that had me keep track of my carb consumption. I was only allowed to have 60 carbs per day. I did very well on the diet and lost the weight I needed to lose and kept it off! I like what you say Dr. Berg.
Almost the same with keto. Please see the videos below to know more about keto. th-cam.com/video/s5w-PyeJOrs/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/bgD19482--Y/w-d-xo.html -Dr. Berg's Support Team
I did Keto for two years and just kept losing hair. I’m guessing it was my thyroid. I took so many supplements to try and correct the problem, I ate all of the right foods too, and I watched Berg and Boz. In the end I had to let it go. I returned to adding fruit and the hair loss stopped. I also felt less tired. I wish I could have cracked the code because there were so many wonderful things about Keto.
I've researched this, and it's important if you are a woman who still gets your cycle to feed progesterone the week before your period. Maybe some dark chocolate and small portions of nature's carbs :) Dr mindy pelz talks about a woman and fasting x
Great information to know! Thank you so much for these videos! I've been able to keep my weight in check for well over a year now. I started fasting and keto and IF during Covid lockdown in March 2020 through October 2020. Outside gardening really helped from May through September keeping me moving and burning the fat. Now that winter is here, it's a little harder but I'm satisfied with where I am now in my lifestyle of one meal a day and lots of filtered water!
Just started on the keto diet as well as intermittent fasting doing one meal at around 3 to 4 pm every day . I'm on day seven now feeling really good having trouble sleeping at the moment but im doing 30 minutes on the treadmill 4 out of 7 mornings started at 15.5 stone after one week I lost half a stone roughly sitting at 14.11 but feeling a lot more clarity and no lulls in energy
I was diagnosed type 2 diabetes and hypertensive a few weeks ago and have started educating myself and going to a low carb diet. Along with low-level meds I've changed my diet. My brother is on the Carnivore diet but I am not willing to go that far. I bought a box of that Atkins friendly bars but it wasn't until I had consumed them when I realized that it was really not that great for me. I have been eating more meat and eggs lately, switched from margarine to butter, switched from canola oil to olive oil. Since fried food is often cooked in a seed oil, I've cut way back. I've always preferred whole wheat/multigrain to white bread but I am going to cut back on the breads. I switched from 2% to 1% milk and added plain yogourt to my diet. I've always loved cheese, nuts, and peanut butter but I need to stay away from sugar added PB. I like veggies and salads and don't really dose it dressings. I've never been much of an alcohol drinker. The biggest thing for me is staying away from ACE buffets, no deserts, no sugary drinks, no chocolate bars, no french fries, no starchy snacks, less potatoes, less rice, less pasta. I'm still in the "education mode" as to what is OK to eat. So far I haven't seen much weight loss but I've improved my sugar levels and blood pressure considerably. One interesting thing is that because I have more energy, I have a greater desire to exercise now when before I was just a lump on a log. I have set myself 100 day and 200 day goals (to match the A1c test results interval) and hopefully will get off of the meds completely.
Oh and it is absolutely amazing, I’m free from fatty liver and fibrosis, last year I had some fatty liver issues due to drinking habits, this year just started 12 days of lemon+acv water, cleanse it all! Thank you Doc!!!!
I’m a Swede and we are very big fan of sauce. I can’t eat meat without sauce or like sourcreme/creme fraishe. Is sourcreme ok to eat? Or it is only healthy majonaise with like olive oil that you can eat?
great advice in this vid went keto with IF about 6 or 7 weeks ago im 55 lost about 25lbs so far and feel great losing a pound or so a week now after large initial losses (7kg in 1st 10 days) but its still going in the right direction my hunger pangs took about 4 to 5 weeks to recede which makes it at lot easier to stick to so keep at it 👍
Somehow it is often mentioned that you should not really eat early. The thing is actually individual and depends on when you actually fast. My feeding window starts at 7-8 AM and ends at 1-2 PM. So this kind of morning hunger spike coincides with the actual need to eat. There also exists research on early time-restricted feeding and its benefits for glucose level, lipid metabolism etc When I just started with IF, it was easier for me to postpone breakfast, but on a regular basis it became easier to eat early and sleep with empty stomach. Also depends on how you work and your family situation.
My weightloss started practically after the second day of starting this diet, I was already leading a healthy life, but wasnt losing weight. So far 2 kg out, 15 to go.
I've found that my weight loss stalled when I was consuming supposedly carb friendly things like keto Zollipops and choc zero chocolate hazelnut spread. So from today on I will not be eating those things. The zollipops have xylitol and beet juice extract in them. That must've caused my plateau. Thank you for your great videos. They're very helpful.
My eating window is between 11 AM to 5. I break my fast with garlic, yogurt and broccoli. After that I don’t feel hungry. Should I just ignore the salad and the chicken breast which is the 2nd meal? I can’t break my fast with salad as it gives me diarrhea. I also use ox bile as I had my gallbladder removed long time ago and I have a fatty liver symptoms. I’ll also switch to Tudca 500*3 as you recommend 1 in the morning on empty stomach and 2 12 pm I have to take it with food and 3d one also with food. I hope you see my comment and get back to me.
The biggest swt back people have with change of their lifestyle and diet is they want quick results. When they think that it isnt working but it is at a slower pace than they expected
You're saying small portion of carbs will stop ketosis. Lemon juice and cacao have small amounts of carbs as well but you're encouraging those in the morning for example. Wouldn't they stop ketosis as well?
I thank you so much Dr. Berg for sharing and explaining everything about keto and fasting. So I’m ready to start get back on keto. Like I already eat high protein . I eat between 4 to 5 eggs everyday with favorite high fats avocado 🥑. I try to say my save my carbs for dinner.last night i had a high fat burger with wings. My lunch was 4 eggs with avocado.
salad dressing serving size was the rudest awakening for me. Few years ago when I was trying to control portions I decided to measure dressing. Talk about jaw drop
Oh, I need my "rewards" day. I don't think I could have stayed on this diet for 2.5 years without it. I don't know if you're considering all the psychological aspects of this! I know my Keto diet is working okay, I have lost 50 lbs and have my high school physique. (I'm 55 years old now) and my chronic high BP is 80/60. My inflammation is minimal as well and it's helped my Rosacea.
There’s so much conflicting information on the internet. I listened to Dr. Gundry with his new book called the Keto Code and he’s says it’s all about uncoupling the mitocondria. Dr. Gabriel Lyon is recommending increasing your protein and especially as you age as you do not absorb it as well as you age. She says muscle is one of the most important organs in your body for long term health. I do Keto and intermittent fasting and have been trying to build more muscle by adding protein but I honestly feel really frustrated with all the different information coming from well very credible doctors that have different approaches on diet and health. It would be so helpful if doctors could get on the same page regarding what is the best. I do not consume alcohol or any processed foods and have been practicing healthy Keto for a couple of years. I’m not considered overweight for my height but would like to build more muscle as I do believe that is the most important for metabolic flexibility.
I have always been told if you don’t eat regularly, your body will think you are starving and will storage every thing you eat, as fat. I am confused with this. How does that work with the intermittent fasting?
I found sticking to the outside aisles of supermarkets help. All the bad things are in the middle aisles. Also I try and buy mostly single ingredient foods. I avoid eating out and invite my friends for lunch and that way I get to socialise without being tempted by non keto food and drink.
I think for me it took me realizing I was just trying to find ways to enjoy sugar still. But you just need to read labels, be honest with yourself too.
The more I look into this it is quite a privileged way to eat. When what is advised is organic and fresh. A lot of cheaper supermarkets are well above the cost that below minimum wage people can afford
@Dr. Eric Berg DC 0:36 You said the Atkins bar could have traces of Glyphosate, is this "Because" it is GMO? or because of the Soy protein itself? Does all foods GMO come with high risk of Glyphosate? Just taking notes and trying to figure out what on the label is a clue to the Glyphosate, the soy protein isolates or because soy protein isolate is GMO and GMO = probable Glyphosate? Anyone that can help me understand, please chime in.
Dr. Berg, great stuff. Just a side note on your Mistake #7, I think it's a typo because it states, "Keep eating more eat!" LoL I think the last word was supposed to read "FAT."
I dont do keto and intermitted fasting to loose weight. I just feel great when I am doing this. But I am loosing to much weight now.. What can I do about that; I would like to stop loosing weight
It’s so bizarre because I did this self study and I noticed if I am keto for like five days and then on the sixth day have some tortilla chips (can’t have queso without chips lol) the next day I feel lighter and skinnier. Can you explain why that would happen?
LMAO!!! I’ve watched it a dozen times now and I can’t stop laughing when you asked your wife what she thought about the concept of having a “Cheat Day” for a marriage while she’s washing dishes and she turns around to raise up her “Butcher Knife” at you and she starts laughing wickedly-it was just like watching a scene from the movie “Misery” and Kathy Bates is about to cut your leg off, LoL hahahaha-It was perfect timing!!! Karen should be an actress and you should be a Director, LoL hahahaha!!!
I've been on Keto for 4 weeks and in ketosis every minute after first couple of days. I have noticed it's very hard for me to sweat. I used to sweat doing everything. Is something wrong? I heard people sweat more on keto.
My predicament is I'm loosing too much weight when I don't want to. I just want to maintain my weight or add a little more. Maybe this type of diet is much more applicable to people who have light to moderate obesity.
Rhondie Badcock Thank you been following your video excellent teaching.Drinking lemon with water in am help with my weight.Was 95kg .From the last 4 weeks.Am down to 90.01kg.Thanks alot.
I‘m not so sure about the last point. I mean you can still eat carbs but be in a caloric deficit and you will still lose weight. Correct me if I‘m wrong.
In your keto recepies (waffles) you add fiberyum (which is low sugar-tapioka syrup) and whey protein (keto-fried chicken kfc style). One year later in this video, you advise against these two ingredients.🤔 I just started my journey with keto+IF and i am soaking in all the informations i can get from your videos, and this is one thing i stumbled upon, that seems contradictive. What am i missing?😵💫
I’ve lost 115lbs. doing KETO in less than a year! I feel so much better, I have more energy and I was able to stop taking 2 doses of Nexium (esomeprozole) a day!!! That’s right! My HEARTBURN IS GONE!!! No more laying in the bed suffering at night or waking up in the middle of the night with stomach acid pouring out of my nose and throat! It’s AWESOME! I sleep better and it helped my depression also!
I am doing a moderate keto diet. It worries me the lack of research regarding the long term consequences of the keto diet. Have a look at "Ketogenic diets inhibit mitochondrial biogenesis and induce cardiac fibrosis" by Xu. For what it's worth.
I was eating Keto Krisps for awhile because I thought that they were fine. I saw that there's whey protein isolate and concentrate in them, so they are off the menu indefinitely.
Dr berg, what kind of sea salt would you recommend. I normally buy whole foods fine/coarse Mediterranean sea salt, but I've also tried RealSalt ancient sea salt and am curious which would be most beneficial

WOW!!! Very encouraging and inspiring..
Dr ekberg too
Wow you got amazing results 👏 😍
lol 7 week 20 pound?? I am fasting and I am in high ketosis right now and lost 11 pound in 1 week lol

Dr Berg your videos inspire me to keep at Keto Big TY , I'm prediabetic from inactivity over the last 11yrs after a near fatal car accident no drugs or alcohol involved I'm almost 61 now i crushed 2 vertebrae C5 & C6 also had 10 full days of total Amnesia scary I've come back from being a living ghost, I have spinal cord syndrome aftert the bone graft surgery, recovery to a descent level took 4 yrs , I'm able to walk and use my arms very luckily but cant run thou nerve signals are disjointed only 5% with this injury are mobile, my GP wants me to do a GTT but I'm afraid it may do some real harm as I've cut my carbs right back hugely no bread no rice no pasta no potato no sodas added Sardines, Shellish Salmon, Greek Yogurt Aged Cheeses only low carb veggies cauliflower, Brussels sprouts broccoli cabbage , reduced fruit to berries and half an apple or orange every other day initially lost 4kgs in first month I have the classic belly which is reducing 😊 down to the first hole on my belt now , started walking quite a bit now Energy level and clarity of mind has been excellent ! even managed to fast 15hrs quite often Without any side effects which amazes me as I loved a huge Breakfast down to 2 meals a day , only one day was a bit lethargic in last 2 months not even the whole day i didnt drink enough & have enough fat recouped quickly after rehydrating and eating One thing I keep in mind is it took many yrs to become like this it'll take a while to overcome that I know I'm lucky no cravings or hunger between meals either once again Thanx
You are awesome Dr. Berg, I have watched hundreds of hours on keto from numerous resources and absolutely love it as a lifestyle. This puts it all together and I truly appreciate you.
I was doing the mistake with point 16. Now I know why my weight loss is stalled. Thanks for the great video 👍
Very glad to be of help.
I've been doing this for a while and the tips that I needed to hear most were the last 2 reminders!! I REwatch certain Dr. Berg videos often, and this one will be on my list!
I love his question to Karen about a cheat day!!🤣😂I have lost inches galore but no more weight loss and I am glad for that. In the beginning I lost 14 pounds and never lost anymore weight. But I have not done 100% Keto either.
I went grainless and sugar less and the weight loss and lack of bloating was immediate. I guess I was so unhealthy, now I don't feel pregnant every night after snacking. I also lost my appetite or addiction to sugar and bread after like 10 days. I thought it would be a lot of suffering and will power but nope I feel normal eating salads steak and cheese in 2 meals a day. I don't miss the muffins and sodas like I thought I would. Thanks Dr. Berg
I’ve got a tip to help you use a lot less salad dressing! You could even start with just one tablespoon of dressing and put your salad in a very large bowl and toss with the dressing. It gets everywhere but it’s just a light coat. Hopefully this helps someone
I really like the long videos. They are super interesting.I usually do HIIT in the morning and longer videos are just perfect.
Very glad to be of help.
Years ago I went on a diet that had me keep track of my carb consumption. I was only allowed to have 60 carbs per day. I did very well on the diet and lost the weight I needed to lose and kept it off! I like what you say Dr. Berg.
Almost the same with keto. Please see the videos below to know more about keto.

I did Keto for two years and just kept losing hair. I’m guessing it was my thyroid. I took so many supplements to try and correct the problem, I ate all of the right foods too, and I watched Berg and Boz. In the end I had to let it go. I returned to adding fruit and the hair loss stopped. I also felt less tired. I wish I could have cracked the code because there were so many wonderful things about Keto.
Same, I added fruit to my Keto Diet few days ago to stop hair loss. But my fruit portion size is very less like 5-10% every day.
Just try low carb
After doing some reading, I am guessing the 'code' may have been low electrolytes, even flavonoids as well?
I've researched this, and it's important if you are a woman who still gets your cycle to feed progesterone the week before your period. Maybe some dark chocolate and small portions of nature's carbs :) Dr mindy pelz talks about a woman and fasting x
The cheat day part really got me, well done as usual Dr. Eric!
People have to accept that certain lifestyles require us to give up certain things, for ever
You're changing my life every single day. I am so grateful for you and these videos.
Thanks for this Dr. Berg. I have not lost any weight… now I realize my liver is loosing fat! Question. How is Himalayan salt for us?
When Keto is Working. 1. Hunger goes away. 2. Cravings go away. 3. Start seeing benefits. 4. Energy. 5. Cognitive. 6. Weight Loss 7. Mood Elevation.
LOL THAT CHEATDAY THING U ASKED UR WIFE WAS HILARIOUS!!!. I burned 2000 calories just laughing at that xD
Great information to know! Thank you so much for these videos! I've been able to keep my weight in check for well over a year now. I started fasting and keto and IF during Covid lockdown in March 2020 through October 2020. Outside gardening really helped from May through September keeping me moving and burning the fat. Now that winter is here, it's a little harder but I'm satisfied with where I am now in my lifestyle of one meal a day and lots of filtered water!
Just started on the keto diet as well as intermittent fasting doing one meal at around 3 to 4 pm every day . I'm on day seven now feeling really good having trouble sleeping at the moment but im doing 30 minutes on the treadmill 4 out of 7 mornings started at 15.5 stone after one week I lost half a stone roughly sitting at 14.11 but feeling a lot more clarity and no lulls in energy
I was diagnosed type 2 diabetes and hypertensive a few weeks ago and have started educating myself and going to a low carb diet. Along with low-level meds I've changed my diet. My brother is on the Carnivore diet but I am not willing to go that far.
I bought a box of that Atkins friendly bars but it wasn't until I had consumed them when I realized that it was really not that great for me. I have been eating more meat and eggs lately, switched from margarine to butter, switched from canola oil to olive oil. Since fried food is often cooked in a seed oil, I've cut way back. I've always preferred whole wheat/multigrain to white bread but I am going to cut back on the breads. I switched from 2% to 1% milk and added plain yogourt to my diet. I've always loved cheese, nuts, and peanut butter but I need to stay away from sugar added PB. I like veggies and salads and don't really dose it dressings. I've never been much of an alcohol drinker. The biggest thing for me is staying away from ACE buffets, no deserts, no sugary drinks, no chocolate bars, no french fries, no starchy snacks, less potatoes, less rice, less pasta. I'm still in the "education mode" as to what is OK to eat.
So far I haven't seen much weight loss but I've improved my sugar levels and blood pressure considerably. One interesting thing is that because I have more energy, I have a greater desire to exercise now when before I was just a lump on a log. I have set myself 100 day and 200 day goals (to match the A1c test results interval) and hopefully will get off of the meds completely.
Oh and it is absolutely amazing, I’m free from fatty liver and fibrosis, last year I had some fatty liver issues due to drinking habits, this year just started 12 days of lemon+acv water, cleanse it all! Thank you Doc!!!!
I’m a Swede and we are very big fan of sauce. I can’t eat meat without sauce or like sourcreme/creme fraishe. Is sourcreme ok to eat? Or it is only healthy majonaise with like olive oil that you can eat?
great advice in this vid went keto with IF about 6 or 7 weeks ago im 55 lost about 25lbs so far and feel great losing a pound or so a week now after large initial losses (7kg in 1st 10 days) but its still going in the right direction my hunger pangs took about 4 to 5 weeks to recede which makes it at lot easier to stick to so keep at it 👍
That comedy bit with your wife regarding a "cheat day" was hilarious 😆
Somehow it is often mentioned that you should not really eat early. The thing is actually individual and depends on when you actually fast. My feeding window starts at 7-8 AM and ends at 1-2 PM. So this kind of morning hunger spike coincides with the actual need to eat. There also exists research on early time-restricted feeding and its benefits for glucose level, lipid metabolism etc When I just started with IF, it was easier for me to postpone breakfast, but on a regular basis it became easier to eat early and sleep with empty stomach. Also depends on how you work and your family situation.
My weightloss started practically after the second day of starting this diet, I was already leading a healthy life, but wasnt losing weight. So far 2 kg out, 15 to go.
True intermittent fasting and keto together work so much better 🎉❤🎉❤. What if I don't ever feel hunger ,or full unless I stuff myself😢 is that bad ?

I've found that my weight loss stalled when I was consuming supposedly carb friendly things like keto Zollipops and choc zero chocolate hazelnut spread. So from today on I will not be eating those things. The zollipops have xylitol and beet juice extract in them. That must've caused my plateau.
Thank you for your great videos. They're very helpful.
Dr berg, can you do a video on 5htp? Please
Thank you for the video suggestion. I will check with Dr. Berg about doing a video on this!
Dr. Berg's Support Team.
My eating window is between 11 AM to 5. I break my fast with garlic, yogurt and broccoli. After that I don’t feel hungry. Should I just ignore the salad and the chicken breast which is the 2nd meal?
I can’t break my fast with salad as it gives me diarrhea.
I also use ox bile as I had my gallbladder removed long time ago and I have a fatty liver symptoms.
I’ll also switch to Tudca 500*3 as you recommend 1 in the morning on empty stomach and 2 12 pm I have to take it with food and 3d one also with food.
I hope you see my comment and get back to me.
Oh my gosh! Ms.Karen with the cleaver😅😎😂
The biggest swt back people have with change of their lifestyle and diet is they want quick results. When they think that it isnt working but it is at a slower pace than they expected
Sea salt is a positive due to the minerals, however the loss of Iodine must be made up for the thyroid,, what is a good way to get it?
You're saying small portion of carbs will stop ketosis. Lemon juice and cacao have small amounts of carbs as well but you're encouraging those in the morning for example. Wouldn't they stop ketosis as well?
I thank you so much Dr. Berg for sharing and explaining everything about keto and fasting. So I’m ready to start get back on keto. Like I already eat high protein . I eat between 4 to 5 eggs everyday with favorite high fats avocado 🥑. I try to say my save my carbs for dinner.last night i had a high fat burger with wings. My lunch was 4 eggs with avocado.
This is one of Dr. Berg’s best videos, and that’s saying a lot because they’re all outstanding.
We appreciate that and thanks for watching!
salad dressing serving size was the rudest awakening for me. Few years ago when I was trying to control portions I decided to measure dressing. Talk about jaw drop
Thanks for answering unasked questions, just how u r doing it. Loosing fat from liver in the first days or week, awesome.
Very glad to be of help.
WAY TO GO KAREN!!!!! 😂😂😂
She answered a question with a laugh …….and a cleaver 😂😂😂😂
Love this. Hey Eric you gotta bring her on more often.
How did I miss this one? Great info!
Oh, I need my "rewards" day. I don't think I could have stayed on this diet for 2.5 years without it. I don't know if you're considering all the psychological aspects of this! I know my Keto diet is working okay, I have lost 50 lbs and have my high school physique. (I'm 55 years old now) and my chronic high BP is 80/60. My inflammation is minimal as well and it's helped my Rosacea.
There’s so much conflicting information on the internet. I listened to Dr. Gundry with his new book called the Keto Code and he’s says it’s all about uncoupling the mitocondria. Dr. Gabriel Lyon is recommending increasing your protein and especially as you age as you do not absorb it as well as you age. She says muscle is one of the most important organs in your body for long term health. I do Keto and intermittent fasting and have been trying to build more muscle by adding protein but I honestly feel really frustrated with all the different information coming from well very credible doctors that have different approaches on diet and health. It would be so helpful if doctors could get on the same page regarding what is the best. I do not consume alcohol or any processed foods and have been practicing healthy Keto for a couple of years. I’m not considered overweight for my height but would like to build more muscle as I do believe that is the most important for metabolic flexibility.
I have always been told if you don’t eat regularly, your body will think you are starving and will storage every thing you eat, as fat. I am confused with this. How does that work with the intermittent fasting?
How do you feel about Himalayan Salt?
I can’t help but chuckle when fat people say, “I’m starving.” I’m like, you’re about an 8 month fast away from starving. LOL
I found sticking to the outside aisles of supermarkets help. All the bad things are in the middle aisles. Also I try and buy mostly single ingredient foods. I avoid eating out and invite my friends for lunch and that way I get to socialise without being tempted by non keto food and drink.
I think for me it took me realizing I was just trying to find ways to enjoy sugar still. But you just need to read labels, be honest with yourself too.
You are so brave!!!!! Well done thou good and faithful servant...
Are sunflower sprouts keto friendly?
The cheat day was the best visual description 🤣 ! Thank you.
Loved it! So good to see Karen! Thank you for giving us a much needed laugh 😂😂
17:14
Lol! A whole plate!
That convinced me: I could be a model!!! 🤣
I pray to stick to what I am learning 🙏. Thank you Dr. Berg
Hahahaa the cheat day part is out of this world! Love the analogy.
The more I look into this it is quite a privileged way to eat. When what is advised is organic and fresh. A lot of cheaper supermarkets are well above the cost that below minimum wage people can afford
@Dr. Eric Berg DC 0:36 You said the Atkins bar could have traces of Glyphosate, is this "Because" it is GMO? or because of the Soy protein itself? Does all foods GMO come with high risk of Glyphosate? Just taking notes and trying to figure out what on the label is a clue to the Glyphosate, the soy protein isolates or because soy protein isolate is GMO and GMO = probable Glyphosate? Anyone that can help me understand, please chime in.
Dr. Berg, great stuff. Just a side note on your Mistake #7, I think it's a typo because it states, "Keep eating more eat!" LoL I think the last word was supposed to read "FAT."
I dont do keto and intermitted fasting to loose weight. I just feel great when I am doing this. But I am loosing to much weight now.. What can I do about that; I would like to stop loosing weight
It’s so bizarre because I did this self study and I noticed if I am keto for like five days and then on the sixth day have some tortilla chips (can’t have queso without chips lol) the next day I feel lighter and skinnier. Can you explain why that would happen?
I'm 5' tall F. My palm can only fit 2 eggs or 1 small bowl of lentil/sprouts. I don't eat meat/seafood. Is that enough protein for me?
LMAO!!! I’ve watched it a dozen times now and I can’t stop laughing when you asked your wife what she thought about the concept of having a “Cheat Day” for a marriage while she’s washing dishes and she turns around to raise up her “Butcher Knife” at you and she starts laughing wickedly-it was just like watching a scene from the movie “Misery” and Kathy Bates is about to cut your leg off, LoL hahahaha-It was perfect timing!!! Karen should be an actress and you should be a Director, LoL hahahaha!!!
Dr Berg, what about people who are to skinny but want to be more healthier and gain more weight. Is this diet good for them too?
Australian. We have this really low carb beer, lower than milk..... heat...cheat... not so much with counting carbs, but alcohol is alcohol.
I've been on Keto for 4 weeks and in ketosis every minute after first couple of days. I have noticed it's very hard for me to sweat. I used to sweat doing everything. Is something wrong? I heard people sweat more on keto.
Sir i m watching all your videos and learning a lot from you.
Thanks for sharing such knowledge.

Wow this was incredibly helpful!! Answered soooo many questions and thoughts I had!!!! Thank you for your wisdom and encouragement!
I'm glad it helped you! Thanks for your feedback!
GREAT video! Answered soooo many questions.
My predicament is I'm loosing too much weight when I don't want to. I just want to maintain my weight or add a little more.
Maybe this type of diet is much more applicable to people who have light to moderate obesity.

Thank you been following your video excellent teaching.Drinking lemon with water in am help with my weight.Was 95kg .From the last 4 weeks.Am down to 90.01kg.Thanks alot.
I‘m not so sure about the last point. I mean you can still eat carbs but be in a caloric deficit and you will still lose weight. Correct me if I‘m wrong.
Your body will reduce bmi or burn muscles or both.
In your keto recepies (waffles) you add fiberyum (which is low sugar-tapioka syrup) and whey protein (keto-fried chicken kfc style). One year later in this video, you advise against these two ingredients.🤔 I just started my journey with keto+IF and i am soaking in all the informations i can get from your videos, and this is one thing i stumbled upon, that seems contradictive. What am i missing?😵💫
I’ve lost 115lbs. doing KETO in less than a year! I feel so much better, I have more energy and I was able to stop taking 2 doses of Nexium (esomeprozole) a day!!! That’s right! My HEARTBURN IS GONE!!! No more laying in the bed suffering at night or waking up in the middle of the night with stomach acid pouring out of my nose and throat! It’s AWESOME! I sleep better and it helped my depression also!
Wonderful! Well done!
Every time a listen 🎧 to one of his videos he answers my questions! Lol !
I am doing a moderate keto diet.
It worries me the lack of research regarding the long term consequences of the keto diet.
Have a look at "Ketogenic diets inhibit mitochondrial biogenesis and induce cardiac fibrosis" by Xu. For what it's worth.
Excellent video. Thank you for all the info and tips, Dr. Berg.
"eating when you're not hungry".😅😏 Feeling called out sir.....
Great vid doc! You’re very smart and funny😄
Number 15 hits me daily! So hard that I feel like I'm gonna pass out. No way for me to fast more than 18 hours because of this.😏
i'm always hungry and if i don't eat, i get dizzy, confused, and weak -- and i want this to work FAST - i don't have years to do it!
Grow up
Whats with to much weight Loss by doing Keto.
Thank you very much dr. eric :)
7:30 Dr. Berg’s humour is underrated.
Hello Dr Berg, Can you please share your thoughts about people losing weight with Ozempic + side effects ? 🙏👍
I was eating Keto Krisps for awhile because I thought that they were fine. I saw that there's whey protein isolate and concentrate in them, so they are off the menu indefinitely.
Superb video 📹 👌 so so helpful 👏
Dr berg, what kind of sea salt would you recommend. I normally buy whole foods fine/coarse Mediterranean sea salt, but I've also tried RealSalt ancient sea salt and am curious which would be most beneficial
Thank you
been following your video excellent
