THANK YOU!

I'm 58 and had a huge beer gut and bad knees that forced me to stop work, I started keto in January 2021and by July I'd lost 80lbs, I went from a 42 waist (my belt line was under my big gut) and ended up being a true 34 waist.
I went back to work and just wear a light knee brace now.
Acceptable Old Fart ;) Good job!
Congrats 👏 I'm happy for you
Congratulations.
Congrats 🎉👏
Awesome. Keep it going sir. You put the , "Art", back in fart. 👊👍
"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 !!!
Happy for you
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.
@@KJT3000 Praise God!🙌🏿🙏🏿
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.
Pants falling off and diarrhea at the same time isn't a good combination 😂
The sad thing is that many people believe that they are eating healthy food, when they're not. I was one of those people. Breakfast was whole-wheat bran flakes, with sugar-free muesli - healthy right?
Lunch consisted of a cheese sandwich on whole-wheat nutty brown bread - healthy right?
Dinner was meat with two veg - plus two slices of whole-wheat nutty brown bread - healthy right?
In desperation, dinner eventually became one bowl of HEALTHY soup, with two slices of whole-wheat nutty brown bread - and then I noticed that the soup contained wheat flour!
For 15 years, this was my pattern and I was getting heavier and heavier. But keto, with Intermittent Fasting fixed everything and caused massive weight loss.
I will be forever thankful for the information on this channel!
So true. My local food store has a so called healthy section and basically there are zero healthy products in it if you investigate carefully.
When in doubt, I always refer to the official U.S. government Food Pyramid. (just kidding, now - but there was a time ...)
Even more sad because its hard to convince them otherwise
@@damariszuckschwert9489 -- There are several people specifically that I want to share this information with. I'll need to wait until the results are impressive and apparent - then I'll tell them I'll share it with them WHEN THEY'RE READY. Like the method for teaching swimming where you throw someone in the water saying "how badly do you want to live?" When you're so tired of being overweight and out of shape - and the associated depression and other mental health problems that you want to kill yourself, then you're ready to do whatever it takes.
I tried pretty much everything that's been in vogue since the mid 80's -- grapefruit diet, cabbage diet, etc etc, and saw only small and temporary successes -- and yes I exercised, too. I actually thought keto and omad would be a huge challenge, especially tapering off to one meal a day, but in reality it was no problem at all for me. A piece of cake, you might say. But it's hard to convince others it will be easier than it sounds.
ahh, didn't intend to write all that -- thanks for letting me share.
@@dougearnest7590 I try to talk to those only ask me what I did to lose my weight, the I will try to explain to them and send them some Dr Berg videos.,but still they now try to convince me how dangerous is it for my health, how I'm going to have a problem later in life. So I stoped to explain to anyone now.
Keto combined with Intermittent Fasting its a MIRACLE.
I have been losing weight and feeling great like a dream.
This is the absolute truth. I've been IF 20/4 & keto for 4 years. No reason to ever change these habits. I'll be 60 in April, 5'0", 108 lbs., exercise every morning.
@@rgee5176 I have difficulty with how much carbs to take. Do you count every carb, for example, also the carbs in an avocado? Or only count the carbs in rice of pasta? I'm `afraid' to do keto wrong and then do it for nothing.
This is so much encouragement... thanks so much
@@angelvandenberg2440 I understand your worries, I would suggest you you do it under medical advise and as a complement, find some trustable Keto experts online like Dr. Eric Berg TH-cam Channel. Regarding the amount of carbs, around 60 grams a day it is considered enough, depending on your physical constitution. Good luck.
At 85 yrs, looking 60, I certainly agree with Dr. Berg’s advice. Even the out of this world stresses, I’m feeling fantastic thank God.
My mum is 82 and very active, has ideal weight, moves a lot, has a healthy diet, totally disciplined in her lifestyle to stay in top form, and all that came a bit later in her life but it's never too late! She threw all her "medication" into the bin and feels better than ever. It's doable. And BTW, age is just a number.
If you do say so yourself eh?
@@nealmceneaney3771 yes, I do not look my age at all due to..no sugar, Vit. Supplements, work out, and a fervent follower of Jesus Christ. Don’t believe me? Look at my FB photo, it’s 2 yrs old..I was 84…. Blessings

@@gailmazzotta6187 amen and amen sister…He is an awesome loving God!!!
I learn from Dr. Berg and Dr. Fung about keto/intermittent diet. It's been 7 weeks and I lost 20 lbs. I'm 5'3" and 149lbs now!!!😊
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
@Everyday Gamer and MotoRider every body is different. Good, you lost 11lb in a week, but mocking others is juvenile. Grow up.
I know I’ve said this before Dr Berg, but you were a huge inspiration for me to start my weight loss channel. After years of struggling with overeating and depression, I’m finally getting my weight under control. I’m now down 31lbs in 15 days, and feeling more optimistic than ever. Just want to say thank so much.
Watch this space! 😊💪🏾
You are welcome!
@@Drberg You da man 😎💪🏾
Jamal, pls upload videos of weight loss! 👏
@@rifeanimated I am.. Check out my latest vlog! 😊💪🏾
Please stay loyal to your health. Dr Berg helped me shed 186 pounds with only 40 more to go to get the waist inches down to 1/2 my height inches.
At age 57 I was able to lose 56.5 lbs within 6 months……just in time for a global pandemic and quarantine starting March 2020. I did ok and maintained 50 lbs weight loss until fall 2020; however, mentally and emotionally it all began to tear-down my resolve. I made a conscious decision to “give myself some grace” in dealing with how our world had changed (as well as several family losses NOT due to the virus). Well, it’s a year later and I’m carrying 40 lbs of “grace” and I’ve had about 40 “day 1 of keto”, even got 5.5 weeks into a fresh start and the mental part of getting back to health is my biggest challenge. But I recall how utterly awesome I felt when my body was healthy and slender! That hasn’t left me. So I will keep at it. Your videos mean so much to help me stay focused. At the minimum at least I know from experience what to do. Aligning head and heart should be so easy. But it isn’t.
Oh my gosh SAME HERE. Posted above about gaining 7 lbs since my birthday on Nov. 13 and bad habits, choices are snowballing. I know I can't get myself right on my own..I'm 52 and been overweight since age 5 so its a chronic issue. I pray you and I both get our heads straight...seems to me thoughts are the biggest hurdle. 🙏🙏
@@jenjen7728 Isn’t it odd how we can sabotage ourselves, as if punishment is a reasonable response to feeling like things are out of our control? I hadn’t seen that weight in early 2020 since my 20s (I was 203 lbs June 30, 2019 and lost 56.5 by March 2020). And it felt effortless! I knew I wanted to learn to eat intentionally. But I apparently stopped at that giving myself “permission” to undo the progress I made. I am resisting the urge to demean myself, it was my choice. But it does slowly sneak-up, a pound-at-a-time. And then baboom, I’m feeling I don’t recognize the person I was 12 months ago. A step-at-a-time is how I started summer of 2019. And it’s the same path to health once again. You can, WE can, choose to start again! Oh, one of my closest friends shares your birthdate!
In the beginning I'm strugguling to do the intermidiate fasting. I just do healthy keto. Then i can slowly reduced to 2 meals a day. It was took me around 3 months time. Then started last saturday, i'm able to do fasting more then 3 days time without feeling hungry✌🏻. I just drink green tea(without caffine), wheat glass juice powder(dr. Berg) and sea salt.
@@joeyleepuiling5258 Thank you for sharing this! It’s funny as in this journey there are several ways to get back on track and I find I can easily do a 16-19 hour fast right away day after day. And there are results right away. It’s a great building block. It makes me realize how our eating is by the clock and the hardest thing to do can be eating when we choose. From starting school, then work. It is all decided for us “when” to eat. I need to try extending my fasting time as you have!
Exact same thing happened to me. I curse the pandemic-it messed up my eating patterns and I fell down the carb/sugar/fat hole. I'm the heaviest I've been in 15 years.
I recommend 30 days before you will see results because that's what happened with me. It was crazy how the fat melted off once I was engaged for 30 days the weeks that followed 5 lbs per week on average for weight loss.
By cutting my sugar consumption down to next to nothing, weeding out processed foods, and exercising daily, I saw a pound or two and a better complexion sooner than that.
Thank you so much for saying that. So glad I found this video so I don’t give up
I’d say the 5 lbs a week is wonderful but don’t be disappointed if it drops down to 1-2 lbs a week. That means you’ve reached a point where your insides are healthy and now you’re losing weight like a healthy person.
Thank you. After falling off for a few days I hit a plateau and couldn't lose. I was losing a pound a week. Now going to start again and wait for 30 days before I hope for results.
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. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Muscle growth without exercise? What's propelling the growth?
Omg the cheat day act out of Karen was priceless!! 😂😂😂 That's the best analogy for people justifying bread and pasta for girls' night out. 😝
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 yes! Priceless! I bursted out laugh!!! Good job Dr Berg, Karen! That's too funny!!
Lol! 😂
I've found it's pretty difficult to understand what women are thinking or trying to say. Was that a "no"?
Ok fine! I’ll stop cheating!! 😆😆😆
@@dougearnest7590 Go ahead if you want her chop it off. You see that blade?😂🤣
I've been a diabetic since my 20s (Type 2), I'm now 50 and I'm invested to make this change for good. Thank you Dr. Berg for all this information. No more cheat days, not even for the Holiday. Started August 1st, 2021 and still going. Down over 20lbs, feeling more energy, mood has improved, my eye sight has improved, thinking is better and I just feel healthier overall. Keep me in your prayers.
🙏 that's Awesome;
It’s July 4, 2022. How are you doing now? I’m restarting WW.
@@mbm1774 kkkkkkkkkkokkm
what about you sugar level it help
@Maria Garza A low-carb lifestyle has helped improve my inslin sensitivity along with intermittent fasting. My blood glucose stays within range compared to when I first started.
Dr. Berg, your video of quitting sugar for two weeks has transformed my life!!! I am down 20 lbs in 4 weeks!!! You are amazing, and my daughter and I cannot thank you enough!!!
I have WATCHED THIS VIDEO multiple times on my journey of weight loss and health. It just keeps me on the right track, reminds me, reconfirms my actions, and keeps me confident I'm on track. I'm winning for once. I have no more cravings, can fast longer, mostly understand my bodies needs.
It's important to try to make your own keto snacks rather than buying them.
Yes. Until the market catches up/responds better
@@Lirree88 true
Yes, we should make our own food, but snacking raises glucose/insulin.
@@F_T2D_Drew True, yet people who work in offices carry snack lunch with them. However, Dr Berg did say that eating snacks between meals will raise insulin & stop weight loss.
@@sabrinaandhusband7791 my first meal of the day is around 1230 1 pm from then to about 5 -6 pm my second meal of the day then around 9 pm I have to snack lol but I’ll snack on right stuff sucks that it spikes everything to eat something grrrrrr 🌻🌻🌻
Thoughts on Cheat Days: even if it’s a cheat bite, meal or day, it can easily turn into a cheat weekend, week, month.
And, remember as contemplating a cheat of any size, remember how you wanted to get into ketosis and the difficulty when first limiting carbs. Think of this and if cheating is worth the days it may take to return to ketosis.
I visualize weighing the want of the benefits a cheat on one hand (short term), and the want of the benefits of ketosis (long term) on the other.
My cheat meal. was for two months 😁
I know my personality and my weak points. It is BEST for me not to cheat. Hubby and daughter ordered pizza. I thought just one slice, after one bite, I thought my heart will be racing after this and my BP will soar. I put the pizza back and ate something else that was more healthy. I started in Sept but changed eating habits to "clean" eating about 3 years ago. It's working for me. My goal is as I age, 68 now, to not take any meds.....My food is my meds:)
She totally nailed it😅🤣🤣Loved it!!!
Amen. It costs me 3 days. I have a calendar and I plot out my weight loss weekly. When I stay on track, it can predict it. So when I see that I missed out on 5lbs of weight loss because I cheated, it burns.
Agreed ,
If I cheat it becomes a land slide for me .
For me keto is a new way of living, investigating keeping it healthy , it's been a struggle .
I'm finding it frustrating that weight loss is bouncing around .
But I'm going to focus and stay the course . Thank you for sharing these videos .
I'm empowered by the knowledge I've gained by watching your videos Dr. Berg , you are the best .
Love the analogy of the cheat day , priceless ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
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!!!
Hi Marlene, how is it going?
I'm 31 and just started keto, to gain weight and cut sugar out of my diet because of family health problems..so far in the week I've done it,I have gained a little over a pound. I've always had a slim build and I'm looking to bulk up a bit. Blood sugar issues and kidney problems is what made me look into the keto diet. So far,so good.
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
@@bertalovejoy5877 thank you
I agree it does feel great being in ketosis.
@@bertalovejoy5877 can someone tell me how much a cup is? And of you can tell me in like deciliters
@@tonpe92 One cup is about 2 and 1/3 deciliters
Your anti cheat day stance was hysterical. I do allow myself some carbs on the weekend. I'll try to think of your "cheat days don't work in marriages or diets" next time I think about eating those carbs. Let's see if it works.
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.
I have exactly the same reaction. I'm just calmer and happier. One month on intermittent fasting and keto food. Love it.
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.
Haha, Karen's laugh during the cheat day skit was priceless. Loved it 🤣🤣🤣
I'm learning so much from you! Day 4 on keto for me. Trying to reduce weight, correct sugar cravings and ease my severe fibromyalgia symptoms. I'm addicted to your channel! Blessings from the UK 🇬🇧 🙏
I hope you do kale shakes. All that potassium is key to cravings. I buy organic kale In a bag. Freeze it add to blender coconut cinnamon I put a little vanilla extract if I have any little nutmeg dash turmeric seasalt ginger. Cover with distilled water if you use that. I do because I make my own. Play with what tastes good to you oh and definitely add lemon even lemon peel because of all the benefits of the peel. Do your research.
How’s it going? I have fibro too
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!
VERY GOOD Dr Berg. #1 read ingredients, been doing this for many years being I worked for a Chiropractor Physician many years ago and he was ahead of his time. He told me in the 80's that if I wanted to continue my education, he told me to go for nutriention , he told me that will be the Doc of the future, still much to learn. What he taught me still holds true today. Now learning exactly what I'm reading. Thank you for many useful updates. As far as women and men, I learned that, the thinnest women stores more fat than a man who may be slightly overweight. As far as a cheat day, LOL !! 🙂👍
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.
I started keto omad cold turkey 15-20 days ago now. This video just answered at least half a dozen questions/concerns ive had. So happy i started, my diet was not as good as i thought, and I had lyme disease that almost killed me. I saw a local holistic dr that helped me with the lyme to the point i believe its gone, and your videos have put me in such a better place than i was two months ago. I have energy and focus now, weight is dropping, im toning out and i feel like a man again. So fortunate i found the right people cause i was ready to throw in the towel and im only 32. Roughest couple years of my life.
I'm one of those "healthy" people that went into Keto and it just shredded my remaining fat in the first week. I'm where I wanted to be for years and I just keep seeing positive changes. I started fasting for 18 hours, then moved to 21 hours a day. I eat from 3 to 6 and drink lemon water, and water for the rest of the day. I had no idea what I was getting myself into but I came into this prepared.
NO cheat days. Know your goal. Picture your body and how you want it and PUSH THROUGH.
Thank you Dr. Berg
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.
Thanks Berg!! This is going into deeper details of what we’re actually consuming and how it affects our keto/IF diet 🙌🏼
Thank you so much for this video. It was very beneficial. Keep up the Great Work! Much appreciated!
Very glad to be of help.
Your sense of humor keeps a "heavy" subject much lighter. Great job to you and Karen.
The "Cheat Day" skit had me choking on my morning coffee - that was not only a great analogy but funny as hell to boot
I used Atkins bars in the beginning of my keto journey just to get me thru the after dinner habit of a sweet..i wasn’t eating clean at the beginning but worked my way there .. a crutch or two to keep the carbs at bay won’t kill you. Now I don’t need that stuff💜
Just one serving of sucralose (Atkins bar) kills 50℅ of friendly gut bacteria,,,
@@lightbeingpontifex yeah- it’s definitely not a healthy choice, but I used it for a short period to get me over the sugar hump...haven’t eaten any of that stuff in a couple of years.
Omg I found an Atkin chocolate nut bar that was SOOOO good! Even just ONE bar tastes soooo good, but then immediately makes my stomach hurt and gives me the shits lol
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 😊
You're changing my life every single day. I am so grateful for you and these videos.
This is one of the best channels ever made!! Thank you!! ✨🥰💜
I really appreciate you saying so :)
It was a month into starting KETO before I started losing weight. The weight loss started slow for the next month but then I was losing 2 to 5 lbs a week. I've been maintaining my weight for 3 years now. My only cheat on the diet is Thanksgiving dinner and that is one serving of cranberry sauce and sage stuffing with a dollop of turkey gravy.
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.
You are amazing Dr!! And thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with the world!
YOU win the AWARD for teaching the MOST CONCISE - STRAIGHT TO THE POINT VIDEO. This is incredible. I thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great info Dr Berg everything you mention applies to me here at the start of Keto
Thank you for this video. I’ve been on keto and IF for 2 months and I’ve had good results but I was also setting unrealistic expectations wanting quicker results.
*Very important information for anyone starting keto or want to educate himself more on this topic. Thank you for sharing this video with us* 😊
Thanks you for helping me the importance of reading the packages.
No.15, you mentioned dizziness. Don't let that discourage your followers. When toxins (during fasting) enter the bloodstream we might feel dizzy. Don't eat, don't give up, just hold on for a few hours until the organism gets rid of garbage.
If you're dizzy you more than likely need potassium.
@@maddisonbythesea3015 that could be an explanation but it's not the golden rule, though.
Dizziness has nothing to do with toxins, its due to low keytones i.e lack of energy, you need to eat!!
@@manoo422 not true, dizziness goes away if you don't break the fast.
My mother can't hang,,,, she chose death and disease bc can't tolerate keto flu, how sad,
Dr. Berg, thank you for doing these videos.. for once I found someone I feel I can trust. You don’t charge me for information that can save my life. THANK YOU SO MUCH
With your help I have dropped my cholesterol from 271 to 158! And now I’m going on a ketone intermittent fasting to get my weight and waistline in shape!
Thank you for this Dr Berg!! Very encouraging!!! I have done healthy keto and IF for a year and there have been dramatic changes in my health and appearance etc. However, reminders as you go are always needed!!!
Excellent video, very helpful and very motivating.
The cheat day part really got me, well done as usual Dr. Eric!
I’m new to the Keto diet, I started about a week ago and have already lost 11 lbs. I know a lot was water weight but I can already see ketosis setting in, headaches and the infamous flu have set in but only last about an hour and then I feel great, honestly I’m so happy I found this channel and am hoping it can change things around for my health! Thank you for all this amazing info!! 💕
Me too I just started and I loss 9 pounds in one week
Great video. I was glad that you listed them all on the screen. I did a Screen Print and put the list on my refrigerator!!
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!
There's so much integrity in your vids. Thanks lots Dr Berg! This is my problem. I have never been overweight ever. But I got lots of belly fats. I know this doesn't add up but this is why I got interested in your vids. I bloat easily as wel maybe because I ate frequently. I started doing intermittent fasting and semi keto diet. After a couple months of doing this my weight dropped from 37.5 to 35.5 kgs. This isn't my intention to lose anymore weight. My ideal body weight is -/+10% 44 kgs. Should i find this concerning? The bloating decreased though.
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.
Thank you Doc for this genuine piece of
message... God bless you...
GREAT video! Answered soooo many questions.
Nothing is safe 😮! Unless you grow your own fruits and veggies.
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.
I have stopped losing weight the last 10 days, but you are giving me courage, I am not giving up
I am learning lots from you doctor.
Added cherry, you're very easy on the eyes!
Been following you for years. And been trying to fast too and yes IF really works,but right I stop..its good to continue it when it really works.. I was diagnosed with ITP and IF renew our cells.. I hope you can make a topic with it Doc. I appreciate all your videos.it helps me a lot.
This is a great list and really matched my learning curve when I started Keto. I'm at the point now when I don't even pick up something in the grocery if it says 'keto' on it as they're almost always not keto friendly.
Excellent video. Thank you for all the info and tips, Dr. Berg.
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!
The shot where he asks his wife about cheat day 🤭🤭👌👌👌
that was hilarious hahaha
🗡️⚔️🔪
The biggest keto mistake I made was eating too little carbs. I was losing so much weight, ppl thought I was sick. So I incorporated more food in the day with more carbs. But I still avoid sugars.
If you're eating carbs to feel better, then you're not doing keto.
Sounds like you may not have been eating enough fat during your keto.
You nailed the concept of "Cheat day"! Thank you for this fantastic video!
Great content and humor! Thx u for amazing work!
Happy you found it useful! Be well!

My mom always told me "If you aren't hungry enough to eat a raw veggie, you aren't that hungry.'
😂
on point for #11 for me, I suspected a few times later when I was gaining muscle and feeling not losing weight. But then, when I stopped working out for like 3 days, weight dropped dramatically like 2 to 3 pounds. I realized it could be my muscles and I didn't make that mistake. I kept doing keto + IF + light workout. Thank you for verifying, doc.
Really glad you spoke about the strips, I have been using them and as I have been progressing the colour is showing that I’m not high into ketosis and I have been concerned that I am doing something wrong. I’m just going to listen to my body from now on. Thanks Doc.
Oh myyy I am so happy that I found your channel - you offer soooo much info about Keto, thank you very much!
Happy you found it useful! Be well!

Great video!! Your videos inspire me and wished I had seen them last year when I started my "correction process". I had to learn a lot of things the hard way through it..but I am glad that I stayed pretty close to the right line of thought and caution before I discovered your channel. I am 45 this year and a former 11B. I have always been pretty well toned but when my 40s came, I started paying for habits a lot worse..and found weight was coming to me faster and was harder to get rid of. When I hit 240 last year I had had enough..and flipped overnight to serving sizes and throwing out anything junk.... In about 3 1/2 to 4 months I was down to 190lbs and back into boxing and working out. It was nice going from a 42 waist to a 34. As far as a "cheat day"... I have one every week (tonight actually) where I have my bowling league... These nights I go in on a pitcher of beer with 2-3 others and sometimes I will get an order of fries or a chicken wrap. I basically skip breakfast and have a salad...literally lettuce and low whatever dressing (1 serving on that btw) to prepare for my bowling night. I guess to many...a "cheat day" is that day where you kind of indulge or you let yourself off the leash for a meal and eat something you normally wouldn't.. Last year when I lost my 50lbs in 3mos on the Keto etc... I would do an enchiladas Friday every other Friday from my favorite Abuelo's. I wasn't able to eat the whole meal because I would get full on 1 enchilada and some of the rice and beans....but it was delicious and that Friday was nice to look forward to as a "reward" for staying in my groove. Eventually I got to where I skipped those cheat days altogether...but would sneak one in once in a rare while. It helped a lot as far as motivation for sure....as it helped me regulate my thought process sometimes... and allowed me to realize that I truly had the control over what I ate...the discipline to pass things up or just do what I wanted because I had no cravings.
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.
Loved it! So good to see Karen! Thank you for giving us a much needed laugh 😂😂
thank you Dr.BERG
I haven't bought powdered protein so that's the only one I would of made a big keto mistake with. A few videos back you said it was best to avoid any sweeteners, so glad I do!!!
Thank you for this video! My pronunciation is "maltofatrine". It drives my mom crazy, because she thinks maltodextrine is a great way to reduce calories. She's right, it does. But, maltodextrine is used to create hunger for those with anorexia nervosa, AND it is in all products designed to create mass gain... Basically, synthetic products designed to make you pack on pounds. And, it works. I cut out the maltodextrine, and I'm never hungry.
Thank you
been following your video excellent
You continue to educate . Love it
Not that I advocate a vegan diet, but you have to admit, you'll never hear one say "I'm a vegan, but every Saturday I have a cheat day and eat a steak." I try keeping the same attitude. As for ingredients, the first hint that something is bad for the keto diet is on the front of the package: If it says "Keto Freindly", then it's probably not.
Yes, great observation. I cook all the meals myself
cant see how you can do keto low carb on vegan most vegan protein srouces have carbs like black beans i love eating all the time
@@Homebusinessesideas I don't know of anyone who does vegan and low carb. Probably as you point out because it is so difficult.
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.
Just starting one week in I found this to be very informative thank you
How did I miss this one? Great info!
Thanks for the pointers in this video. Im a 48 yo female and i've been doing keto and IF since Thanksgiving and I've lost about 23 lbs but have hit a plateau the past few weeks with about 13 more lbs to get to phase 1 (healthy BMI) and then another 15 lbs give or take to get back into some awesome wardrobe options waiting for me in my closet from my 20s and 30s.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that keeps clothes from yonks ago in the hope of getting back into them! I've only started this diet a week ago and still learning and watching videos..... But I certainly feel as if somehow things are moving in the right direction inside of me and so keep up the good work and let's remember that it took years to destroy the working of our inner parts and to be kind to whatever it takes to bring them back to function properly 😁!
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
Superb video 📹 👌 so so helpful 👏
Great information, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed our content :)
I have just recently started the keto diet, one thing that my body has been wanting for a long time to cut the sugar out of my diet. OMG my energy level has skyrocketed through the roof. I feel like a completely different person. I love following you dr. Berg you are the best. I just recently bought your vitamin C serum and your yeast flakes. Thanks. This video is helpful
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!
Thank you very much dr. eric :)
No cheat day lmao. I needed to hear that especially during the "holidays" . Keep going guys, don't worry about people judging you for your dedication to your diet.
Took me 3 months to reverse insulin resistance. I lost 30 lbs by that time, then another 10 lbs over 8 weeks...by the time spring came around I weighed 128lbs at 5'9ish tall at almost 50 years of age. It's nice being able to wear a hip bathing suit in public without shame.
When you say reverse, do you mean it's only reversed as long as you're eating keto now. Or do you mean you are cured? As in even if you eat a normal (bad) meal your insulin resistance is fixed? I don't intend to eat bad, I'm just trying to understand what it really means when people say reversed. Thank you. And congrats!
So far losing 1lb per week. 59 years-old, 5'6", start; 148 lbs, waist 35".
4 weeks into it, 144 lbs, 34" waist.
Goal 135 lbs, 32" waist. No cheat days. Started OMAD in week 2.
Dr. Berg - one of the best videos you’ve ever published. Every KETO beginner should definitely watch this video.
My cravings mostly happen at night, and I needed this tonight.
