![Dr Berry & Dr Eric Westman [KETO Truths & Keto Myths]](/img/tr.png)
I started Keto carnivore Dr. Berry's way for a few months now. Lost 30 pounds reversed my diabetes, no more IBS or reflux, no more gas issues. My BP is dropping. My kidneys are healing, even my brain is working better, I breatth better. My nails and hair are growing. My joints don't hurt like they used too. My headaches are seriously reduced. I went off metformin. Wow. Amazing. Thank you Dr Berry. BTW. I journaled it all. Every thing I ate. My Blood sugar every day.
Incredible! This is such great news! Keep it up! Glad you are finding health!❤️
Glad you found the way !!👋👋🌹🌹
What is keto carnivore is it more meat and little vegetable
Thanks much love
You should blog your journal!
What happens too often in the doctor's office is this:
A patient does keto on his own, and the doctor sees that the patient (1) lost 25 pounds (2) lowered his fasting blood sugar (3) lowered his blood pressure (4) lost his eczema (5) improved his mood (6) got rid of his digestive ailments (7) raised his "good cholesterol" (HDL) and (8) drastically lowered his triglycerides.
But then the doctor sees that the LDL went up, and declares that this diet is unhealthy,
Such a doctor simply needs to learn the science around cholesterol, and to stop taking medical advice from congressional committees and other bureaucrats.
Preach it Frank! My endocrinologist about fell off his chair when my six thyroid nodules shrunk 2 years running after growing (on SAD diet) for 8 years. This still can't change his mind to use Keto to reverse his type 2 diabetic patients. Medical doctors are so afraid of the lows. I can imagine that even one patient in a diabetic coma would be devastating to a doctor. Teaching someone how to dose insulin is so different than teaching someone how to eat low carb and safely lower their insulin. Even the smartest brains and most well meaning doctors can't seem to wrap their heads around how safe this is and how healthy it is! I will give him Dr. Westman's new book, End Your Carb Confusion and Gary Taubes' new book, The Case for Keto & keep shrinking those nodules. What else can we do?!?!
AMEN!!
@@2fixmj563 Sandra Westley here in the UK we have hospitals that are rolling out very low carbohydrate more good fats etc and they are reversing diabetes
Frank, ain't that the truth!
That’s what my doctor has done. She is really worried about me and wants to put me on statins. My pre diabetes has been reversed, triglycerides are lower, etc. But my bad cholesterol is up and she’s worried. But she is not even an MD or heart doctor.
Just a word of caution for us older folks doing keto. I will never forget when I went to urgent care and showed my Medicare card to the receptionist. She looked up at me and rudely said “why are YOU on this?” I literally looked too young.
Good for you! Keep up the good work.
what an awesome compliment!!! ❤
I agree. I'm a single woman 60 years old.
I agree. I'm a woman of 60 years old. The older men don't hit on me. They all think I'm too young. Lol. It's a first. I still think my face looks 60. But I know my body doesn't
With all the red meat, did anyone get gout? Old wives tail?
5 months ago my daughters and granddaughter took a girls getaway weekend and I couldn’t go because i knew I was unable to walk and keep up with them. I I’m 63 yes old and don’t want to miss another opportunity to spend time with my family. After crying and feeling sorry for myself I opened RUclips and started searching. I’ve lost 38 lbs already and my kids are planning all the things we can do together next summer. They are so proud of me. Keto is sustainable it’s a lifestyle not just a diet and I feel better than I have in years.
Congratulations
Bravo Drinda. Thanks for your inspiring story.
You can do this! I'm 63, down 102 pounds and I've been doing this over 2 1/2 years. I'm never going back. This works, I feel great! Keep at it. You're doing the right, long-term thing. Never give up!!!
Glad you found the way !!👋👋🌹🌹
Very proud of you. Intermittent fasting is also a game changer, please try it if you're not already. I was aiming for 10% body fat and I'm now down to around 5%, at 32 years old I'm in the best physical shape of my life.
We could use a chain of Proper Human Grocery Stores! PHG's. Proper Human Restaurants PHR's. Proper Human Doctors, etc..
So far I have loss 206 lbs doing keto still got about 20 more to go
Yes!! And I'm sure by now you have already or are close to it! Good for you!!🙌🏻💕
Just subbed to your channel. 💝💛
Good for you..hang in there!!!!
Incredible! Keep on keeping on!
That is wonderful. Keep up the good work.
Fat... How long did it take to loose that weight ❓🍀
Keto it's a not a diet, it's our lifestyle now never want to go back!
26:07 " It's clear to me the emphasis should be shifted from 'Fat is bad. Cholesterol is bad.' to 'Sugar is bad. Diabetes is bad.' "
I was 304 lbs and had an A1C of 8.4 and high bp. Now, I'm off my bp meds, A1C is 5.5 and I've lost 82 lbs in 1 year. It works and likely saved my life!
Wow! That’s fantastic!
Peter that’s so wonderful!
Wow awesome !! Congrats !
Congratulations!
Amazing
My story isn't about weight, and I often regret that these conversations focus on obesity, although I understand why that's the case.
I went carnivore about a year ago, at age 63, and eliminated my eczema and blepharitis, which more than one doctor told me wasn't curable, only manageable. The relief I experienced from ending that wretched itching is indescribable. I hope anyone with a chronic condition takes matters into their own hands and researches the proper human diet. You do NOT need to suffer. And the solution is FREE. That's why it's unpopular.
Me too!
@@marybeth6676 You mean you got rid of a chronic skin condition? Dermatologists would have to find a new livelihood if they told patients the truth.
@@TerriblePerfection The medical field and especially the dermatologists are all pretenders. They don't have the slightest clue about anything but they pretend to know and it is so obvious when listening to them. And the money they charge for their pretending to know is unbelievable.
Hit the nail on the head. It's free. Lol. Good on you!
@@user-ob5nk3ss1p yup they're good at naming a "disease" and pedaling an expensive drug and get lots of $ from insurance which people pay too much for. All just to HOPEFULLY give some relief in that particular disease process. Meanwhile poisoning you and messing something else up. Doesn't make much sense
The problem with telling people who are carb addicted they can have a little sugar is analogous to telling an alcoholic they can have a little alcohol.
If we are addicts, it is our responsibility to know that we can not moderate.
I struggle everyday as carb creep is just like when I was fooling my self with just one glass if wine . I am and will always be an addict to sugar, carbs & alcohol. I want to continue to live as well as I can with the years I have left . I am 73 and lost 70 lbs after my quadruple bypass surgery. I feel good and am in the process of educating my new young doctor, slowly and politely ..
It was so wonderful to hear Dr. Atkins mentioned and how wonderful he was. I remember when I bought his first book in the late 1970's. He was a true pioneer and his reputation has been sullied since his death. This made me really mad. I think he deserves A LOT more credit than he presently gets. It says on Wikipedia that his diet is still considered the most popular FAD DIET in America. Excuse me?! I am so glad to see him being recognized recently with the respect that he deserves.
I went to my Primary Care Dr. on Oct. 7, told him I had started Keto the end of Sept, and had lost about 15 lbs. He said "I have heard a lot, and that's great. If it works for you, keep it up"! I love my PCP.
My doc is the same. I went in 40lbs lighter and told him I’m on extended fasting and Keto. He said keep doing whatever you are doing.
My dr. Sent me to a nutritionist and she was not keto friendly at all. I felt kind of depressed after I saw her and took me a few days to get over it.
@@sickofsnow1506 You just do what you know is working for you. If no bloodwork has been done ask your Dr. to do so for proof this is working for you.
"If it has an ingredient list, that's a product, not food." I love that !! So well said !!
TRUE.
The keto way of eating has changed my life at age 63- lost 90 pounds, improved glucose levels, was able to stop blood pressure meds. I feel better than when in my 40s.
Wow! That's awesome. How long did it take you?
@@carolgeorge7896 the first 75 pounds came off in 11 months then the next 15 came off in the next 11 months, so 22 months total
@@pamelap.123 I hear you! Carbs make me feel like crap
Age 62 and just starting....thanks for the inspiration!!
Love Dr Berry’s attitude of not holding back. He’s such a straight shooter. People need to get “mad as hell and say we’re not gonna take this anymore.” Great interview and information. ❤️❤️❤️
I stopped eating carbs three years ago and my hip stopped hurting as well as losing 70 pounds plus I experienced many other health benefits.
I started KETO at 5'6" and 270 pounds. I did KETO for about a year and stalled at 232 pounds. I then discovered Intermittent fasting in September 2021. I am at 171 pounds and still losing, A1C at 5.5, and tapering off diabetes meds. Thank you Drs. Berry, Westerman, Jsaon Fung, and the lovely Neisha.
When I weighed 232 I looked great! I’m also big boned I’ve seen some people look terrible at 220 gut hanging everywhere posture out of alignment I guess it depends on a persons body!
Did you get any taller?
Love you both, you’ve changed my life. I started Keto in March 2018, lost 123 lbs., A1C now 5.28 down from 9.45, off all Metformin, cured my excema, more energy than when I was in my 20’s, inflammation gone, arthritis much better, clear thinking, I turned 70 in July 2020.
Congratulations on your wonderful results!
Amazing! :) well done!
Keto is for everyone, thin, obese, young, elders, even toddlers. Promotes healthy heart, immune system, all over body organs and blood. I’m 75 , down 40 lbs, no meds, and feeling alert & strong. No more snoring or dry eyes. Beautiful eating plan for good health.
Not everyone...if one has liver disease, you have to limit fats and carbs
@@arcr717 that can still be keto w moderate fat.
@@arcr717 I'm pretty sure that's wrong information unless you can prove otherwise the reason why the liver becomes fatty is because of carbs I don't think you're paying attention
@@arcr717 if you can't eat fat or carbs what can you eat now that I'm thinking about it that sounds crazy
As an athletr carbs are needed for muscle growth. Otherwise i love keto
Dr Westman a very humble man...
You’re absolutely right Dr. Berry. I can’t exercise because I’m in bed 24/7 and have been for 6+yrs. I was getting too heavy because of carbs, starches, grains, etc., My 1st month on Keto I lost 15+ lbs. I don’t miss any of it!!! Thank you!!!
Congratulations! Keep going! You can reverse so many issues with the right foods. Best wishes!
Keep going James you will be out that bed soon and exercising.
@@CoachDarren Hey coach I never give up!!! I’m a strong believe in the Lord and I’m stubborn as hell!!! God bless you...Rev. James
@@jamesmondok8635 that's what I'm talking about brother. AMEN!
Hope your doing good James. Keep going strong...you got this!
OH MY GOSH, I LOVE Dr Berry!!!!! He's amazing and a free thinker. I'm a pharmacist and I wish I knew more physicians like him!!!! ❤️👍🏻
I have been so blessed with the Keto lifestyle! In almost 21 months, I've lost 110 lbs, am officially off ALL prescription meds (statin, levothyroxine, and pain meds), AND my sleep apnea has been resolved and I no longer need to use a CPAP! I feel wonderful and alive again! I will be 68 years young next month!
Congratulations on your hard work and success! I am very happy for you.
@@Jayne_Rose Thank you!
@@Jayne_Rose Brilliant job. Well done.. 👍👍👍
@@maxfactorone I don't understand.
@@Jayne_Rose Sorry the comment was meant to be for Julie Elmore
Thank you, Dr. Westman for telling us that you can't eat an unlimited amount of fat and still lose weight. A lot of people don't know this!
During lockdown here in the UK, I stumbled upon Dr. Ken's "skin tag" video. I don't have skin tags so was intrigued as to why it dropped in my feed so I watched it.
Wow, from that time 7/8 months ago my life has totally changed. I've observed pretty much all the benefits in Dr. Ken's vids and can't thank you enough.
You're a true modern hero.
Don’t forget to thank yourself as well. We can have all the information in the world but yet just look around at how few people actually ACT on something. Kudos!
Way to go!!👍👍👍
Syncronicity , well done. We don’t come across these things by accident. Two years ago I lost 30lbs. Just enough to reverse t2D.... and change my life. It’s a way of life. Congratulations and greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪, anna
I was watching an episode of Dr. Pimple Popper with my wife. A person came in with skin tags. The doctor asked about any other conditions. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (spelling?) . The doctor didn't know how they would be related. I turned to my wife and said, "she has insulin resistance! That causes both skin tags and PCOS. She's probably a type two diabetic. " The doctor looked up the connection, found it to be high insulin and insulin resistance, and found out that the patient had recently stopped taking her metformin for her PCOS or type two diabetes.
I'm not obese or diabetic but this conversation brings tears to the eyes because this is certainly true in the endocrine side of healthcare. Hypoglycemic from childhood to menopause, now with non-stop autoimmune and a-fib issues, untreated because of drug reactions. The patient repeatedly gets up the fortitude to ask the medical system for help and just as repeatedly is put through all the tests, told no this all looks fine, pays for all of it and drives home once again in discouragement because he or she is NOT FINE! We make the appointment because we NEED HELP, not to see if we pass the lab tests. We're NOT FINE!
April 2023 I started keto and experienced a summer like I hadn’t had in a long time. The past several years, in the heat of the summer I’d have lower back pain and suffer sciatica, unable to function- stand for more than a couple minutes without having sciatic pain and difficulty bending down to pick something up or get a good night sleep. The summer of 2023 I’d say I was 85% improvement with minimal periodic pain. After 5 months on keto I switched to carnivore to give my gut a rest from fiber, and the inflammation came down so much quicker esp in my abdomen- leaving me with nearly a flat stomach Low carb is for me🎉
Dr. Westman is truly one of those giants. Have learned so much from the both of you. Thank you for what you do.
I'm in the VA system. Diagnosed Type 2, they set up the phone appointment with the dietician. I'd done the ADA diet with my mother in law, knew it didn't work. Listened to the dietician, same spiel. Cut my carbs to 20 to 40 a day. Three months later, went back, a1c went from 12.6 to 5.8, cholesterol went to normal, blood pressure went down to normal. Dr. says 'you are the best diabetic EVER, you really paid attention to the dietician. No one does that.' Told him yeah, you keep on believing that. I'm down 40 lbs in 4 months. Another 2 months I'm going to have to start adding calories. I'll be under 120 lbs.
Please tell your doctor! And tell the dietician! They are all so blind and brainwashed. In the hospital, they bring our diabetics trays that I would barely eat before I went keto. It’s so sad and I know they mean well, they just don’t have accurate information. Btw, I am also a veteran and could go to the VA but have never went for care...as I get older and my insurance sucks, I may need to though.
You may never see this as its been a year since you posted but it was my visit to the VA that ticked me off and got me started on the carnivore road. He said no eggs (BS) turmeric has no proven benefits (BS-and he's Indian) don't do any exercise but a bike, and take this statin drug. I challenged him on that and he countered with he'd been on a statin since the age of 23 and has no problems. Went to youtube to investigate (though I already knew) found Dr Ken Berry carnivore plan, and Kelly Hogan, and FlavCity with Bobby Parrish and learned so much. Its been a week, 90% of my pains are gone, I move quicker, feel better. And I ditched my metformin since I'm not eating sugar and carbs.
@@davidwelday3276 I was off all the meds they put me on within 6 months. They kept jerking me around when I went in complaining of pain in my scalp. They claimed it was from the diabetes. At the time my A1C was 5.0. Visit after visit to the emergency room. Complaining of things. Always, it was the diabetes. They were throwing drugs at me right and left, also accusing me of being on recreational drugs the whole time. Even though there was a full blood panel for recreational drugs performed.
Then one day it was as if someone pulled a grey blind over my right eye. That's when I lost my cookies and went up to the VA screaming for one particular doctor I trusted. He sent me straight to the eye doctor who checked my eyes. Nothing wrong. The eye doctor sent me to have an ultrasound. I had 100% blockages in my carotid arteries. I was eligible for Medicare the month before and had signed up for the Part G coverage. I knew they were going to kill me eventually. Just like they did my husband (he died on a waiting list for a colonoscopy, of rectal cancer. The Nurse Practitioner noted a growth and did nothing).
I was in a civilian doctor's office 3 days later. After heart testing and some other tests they did my right side. As luck would have it, a nerve was bruised during the surgery. I couldn't feel the right side of my face and I was talking as if I've had a stroke. It's way improved and they are going to do the other side on Aug. 1. I'm off most of the meds the VA put me on.
I did go back on the metformin by request after the surgery. My numbers went up and it was worrying me. So, it was a small step on my part to do it. Still, with the upcoming surgery, I thought it was prudent because this stress really does affect blood glucose. I'll get off it after the next surgery.
I was a walking stroke waiting to happen. It took an eye doctor to figure it out. Go figure.
I'm sure you know but it's not about calories, add fat!
Did you tell them what you were actually doing? I hope so. Bless up to ya!
I lost 56 pounds in four months on keto. I’m feeling the carb creep slightly, but I’ll prevail! Thanks to Dr. Berry and Dr. Westman for all you do.
I followed my various primary, specialist DRS advice and went up to 320lbs, thankfully found Dr Bergs video on intermittent fasting & keto, now following Dr Berry , I’ve been type 2 free since 2018 & kept my weight below 280 while my body continues to heal from the 30 years of eating bad advice
Never knew about keto until about 3 months ago from RUclips.Since then I have been on low carb and lost 20 lbs. Awesome diet plan. Mike from Vancouver, Canada
my grand daughter had gestational diabetes, she went keto between check ups and the nurses were amazed by the improvement in her results and told her 'whatever you did, keep doing it'
Thank you both so much! I'm off BP meds and husband down from diabetic to pre diabetic in only 2 months! In iowa.
Dr Atkins was a giant and a true hero! He doesn't get nearly enough credit. His 2002 book is excellent! After Dr Atkins died his company was bought out and the new company messed up the diet. I still follow the old Atkins Diet, his latest book in 2002 which he updated to counting net carbs. It never fails!
What’s the difference between Atkinsold diet and the changed new one?
@@AnythingGoals The new Atkins version allows higher carb limits, even in the initial Induction Phase, that won't put most people into ketosis, so the weight loss is slower. I bought the 2002 book, "Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution" and I highly recommend reading that book, so then you can compare old and new.
But if you're asking about Keto, there are as many different versions as there are keto gurus, and it's usually much more restrictive and complicated than old Atkins, so a much smaller percentage of people can stick to it and it tends to cause eating disorders in those who are vulnerable to that.
@@photina78 I see thanks. I just started a keto-Carnivore diet, and have been getting insomnia, waking up exhausted and w numb tingly arms, and the keto flu in general! Although my weight hasn’t changed much, I def look thinner. This is all very interesting.. I remember when most people brushed off Atkins as crazy! But now so many are trying without realizing they’re basically doing Atkins!
@@AnythingGoals To stop the symptoms of Keto Flu, take electrolytes, or drink a sugar free sports drink, or drink pickle juice.
It helps if you write down all your measurements because you'll see them getting smaller when the pounds aren't dropping.
@@AnythingGoals Dr Berry and Dr Westman call Dr Atkins "the King of Keto." Atkins spent over 40 years perfecting his diet by treating his patients with it, and he really knew his stuff!
I lost 60 pounds, excema gone, no more pain in my joints! I dont wait for science getting the positives of keto, i have just this one life and im not here for waiting! Im here to live and enjoy life!
Same here. I suffered terrible with rashes the majority of my life and joint aches. Five months on Keto and it’s all resolved in addition to 54 lbs gone, good blood sugar, A1C @5.4, normal glucose, no snoring, no heartburn, beautiful skin. 60lbs left to go and I know I can get there with this lifestyle.
@@TheVinegarden yep, its amazing, congrats.
Have been on keto for 4years and on ketovore for a year now. Love how I eat daily. I truly look forward to eat my ribeye, eggs for my first meal.
I had lost over 20lbs in 3 months at the beginning of my journey and have been maintaining really well. I am 120 lbs.
Never felt better at 48.
That's great!
I’ve been on low carb for 380 days and lost most of my excess fat accumulated over 7 years now I’m on carnivore diet and losing fat faster. This works and simultaneously disappointed that I’ve been lied to by mainstream “healthy diets”.
I remember in the 1980’s Duke was famous for the Rice Diet. For Dr. Westman to change that 180 degrees is amazing.
I did Atkins when his second edition came out more than 30 years ago. I recently bought his first book and read it in one day. Dr. Atkins did advocate a low carb diet, almost carnivore, and he even talked about intermittent fasting in different words. In addition, Dr. Atkins advocated eating beef. I was completely shocked when Dr. Atkins died in such a horrible way.
Dr. B. I would never have listened to anyone in the media concerning Keto. I would never believe the media. I had to bump into you on RUclips and start listening to someone who actually made sense to me to get started. I got my A1C yesterday and it is down to 5.6. I stopped taking blood pressure meds and found out w/o meds I have normal bp or even low bp. Would I tell anyone NOT to follow their Doctors advice on the food pyramid? You bet I would. It happened to me. This bad education needs to end. Who eats boxed cereal with milk and OJ for breakfast every day? Millions of people do.
Boxed cereal - made of grains, grains break straight down into SUGAR.
Milk - full of SUGAR so as to grow babies as fast as possible. Never meant for adults.
OJ - full of the SUGAR fructose, which is converted into triglycerides and stored as body fat.
SUGAR, SUGAR, SUGAR. Crazy.
I went keto then carnivore 10 months ago. I got an initial blood test as reference. I had another done after 4 months then 2 weeks ago. I've lost 17 kg and reversed my fatty liver and my exzema has almost disappeared. My triglycerides went down, HDL up and LDL up. The doctor said great results and we expect LDL to go up under keto but as your LDL has gone up, by law I have to tell you that you have a risk of heart attack in the next 5 years and inform you about statins then you make the choice as to whether you take them our not. He did the spiel, I said no thanks- he smiled. A very enlightened doctor, more should be like him.
Years ago I started Keto diet after hearing Dr. Westman. I asked my VA MD in Salisbury, NC if I could go on the diet? He said "no I think it would be too dangerous for you." But, I kept hearing Dr. Westman and decided to go on it. I went from 289 lbs. to 220 in less than 6 months. I then went back to the VA Dr. He was shocked almost didn't recognize me! He was shocked after he looked over my blood profile. He asked me what I did? I told him I went on Dr. Westman's Keto diet. Then, he directed me out to the waiting room and told me to tell all the fat Vets what I did! And I did tell them!! Keep up the great work both of you (Dr. Berry might watch your language a little on the podcast). I love you both!
My dog's vet told me not to feed my dog meat and greens instead of the expensive dog food for his allergies and when we went back, she was shocked at how slim and healthy my dog was. She asked if I had to exercise him a lot and what I did. I told her I put him on the diet you told me not to. 😏
@Susan Hartwig Great testimony! Good for you!
I made it to my one year anniversary on Keto this month! I’m 53 5’-11” small framed. Was 205 lbs. now I’m 165 lbs and my A1C is dropping like a rock! Feeling great!
Dr. Berry, you are such a hero. I first watched you about 2 years ago and was amazed about how much sense you made about the dangers of sugar. It's been amazing to watch your influence grow. I admire the way you speak the truth and from the heart, despite all of the obvious pressures and temptations that exist in the medical and food industry. Such a great example to others and the next generation.
I just want to say how wonderful this conversation is.
You are 2 of my favorite doctors I am a chiropractor and so greatful after all these years to get it !!!

Two great docs! Dr. Berry: Smart, down to earth, regular guy; Dr. Westman: smart, low key, regular guy. Love this talk!
Wow !!! Dr. Westman looks amazing at his age !!! He looks less than 45 y. old . Incredible !!!
Appreciate the credit given Dr. Robert Atkins. He never got his due. "They" dogged him every step of the way, since his first book in 1972 which truly was a "Diet Revolution". They hated that he was right. I'll always wonder if the good Dr. Atkins's unfortunate slip on the ice back in 2003 was an "accident". Very convenient timing for "them", the famous Dr. Cornish included. Thanks.
You're right about Doctor Atkins. For a period of time, Atkins was THE face to the public of low-carb/keto. He took so much flak, unfairly, that soon other low-carb keto diets that were only Barely different from Atkins came forward (South Beach Diet, etc....) and they all said essentially "Yes, low-carb is the way to go but we're not like that crazy Atkins diet! Oh, No! Ours is entirely different. We do HEALTHY low-carb/keto...." blah blah blah. And they would mischaracterize Atkins as consisting of nothing more than only eating the tops off of pizzas. As I said, these diets were all not much different from what Atkins actually put forth, but they wanted to distance themselves from Atkins specifically. There's a diet plan promoted on TV right now, that talks about insulin resistance. It's all the rage now to talk about IR, and actually that's probably a good thing. But I first read about "insulin resistance" in the Atkins book in February of 1999. (I started low-carb/keto Feb 17, 1999.) And the Atkins book had already been around for several (about 20?) years by then.
@@TheFrankHummer Right on all counts. RIP Dr. Atkins.
It’s clear that the powers that be have purposely been keeping us misled and sick. Nothing would surprise me regarding Atkins’s fall.
Keto is for life, not just for Christmas. 🤗
From a crazy right now, UK.
TFS & Merry Christmas everybody. 🦃🎅⛄🎄
I love the story about Dr. Atkins funding the study! I did the Atkins diet as an inactive chubby teen with a duodenal ulcer. I loved it and it worked for me, but couldn't maintain due to peer, parent and doctor pressure as well as the prevailing fat-phobia of the times. I developed hypertension in my twenties, and eventually was sort of controlled with 3 hypertension meds, potassium, a statin and an antidepressant. I did the DASH/Ornish diet for about the next 20 years, (which incidentally did NOT work) but my cardiologist highly recommended it, along with cardiovascular exercise, which I always had trouble doing. When I turned 65, I started having severe gut and bone/joint issues (and thyroid symptoms with normal TSH).
On my own I discovered Dr. Berry and the PHD. Fast forward 2 years: I lost the 50 pounds that took me from obese to normal (I'm short), I dropped my blood pressure and all the meds, I have no more joint pain, constant throat mucus, heartburn, diarrhea, and brain fog. I can briskly walk for miles now, and I feel great! Still working on the osteoporosis and getting my hair & skin back, but my LDL is "too high" (even though the rest of my labs are perfect) so my cardiologist is mad at me, and ready to dismiss me as a patient for non-compliance! Go figure.
found dr berry 3 years ago through my daughter, i have lost 56lbs not come off any meds yet refused to take a statin but have come to a standstill despite needing to lose more weight so am experimenting with fasting , well done to you. I enjoy this way of eating very sustainable
I've been studying keto back when Dr Atkins was getting beat up on TV by doctors and "experts". I've been watching a ton of videos, tapped on this one and thought it's a shame nobody ever gives Dr Atkins any credit and boom. Thanks for that, I hate what the company has done to his name.
I read Dr Atkins book in the 80s and followed his plan a few times. It's the only diet/ eating style that worked for me. My sister criticized me while she ate grain cereal, nonfat milk, orange juice and fruit for breakfast while I ate 3 eggs, 4 strips of bacon. After 8 weeks I had lost a full clothes size, apprx 15 pounds, and felt great. 20 years later she's rambling more protein, less bread because of serious heartburn. Less starch,no sugar equals healthier life
I agree ☝🏾. People associate it with Dr Atkins but he didn’t promote that junk
Great that he gives props to Dr. Atkins...He really got a bum deal from the media and the academic medical establishment, especially cardiologists. Would love to know what they think about Barry Taub's work.
If you are In the Atlanta Georgia area I can Wholeheartedly recommend Jeffrey McDaniel, MD at Piedmont Hospital. He is my Keto doctor. I believe he trained with Dr. Westman. I also follow both of these caring physicians on RUclips and continue to learn from them. Thank you for helping this patient become and stay healthy where I can now enjoy life much more than I did before I started the Keto lifestyle.
Amen to TOTAL CARBS!!! Thank you , guys, we appreciate your help!!! Preach it!!!
My two favorite doctors!
As a nurse I have learned so much from both these great doctors. I count total carbs as Dr Westman recommends. Even though I fall off the wagon now and again, I get back on with longer fasts between. Not giving up on yourself is key. And I too am disappointed when myHbA1C was 5.7 no one flagged it up.
On the way to better health thanks to you both . I found you on RUclips 2 years ago 🤩
Doctors promote a plant based diet i did it for a year...never again!..nutrient deprived and overweight
I'm 41 and i am in the best health of my life
I don't give two shits what conventional doctors think. They don't know shit about proper human nutrition.
I wish I could hit the thumbs up a 100 times!!! Thank you guys!! I was a skinny little woman with a fatty liver and had developed brain symptoms that were tested by spinal tap and CT scans. The tests showed moderate small vessel disease (brain) as well as #36 NSE..that is a very bad rapid neuronal death that looks like Mad Cow!! I was experiencing terrible memory and balance issues..I was written off as a hypochodriac/melingurer..this was Mayo!! I left very detected and depressed..they said I was making myself worse trying to figure it out!!! I am now back to work both physically and mentally sound because of Dr.s like you!! The only complaint I have is my saggy 60 year old skin but my little dogs never complain!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💃
I am 68 yrs old from Palau was sent to Taiwan for medical referral and I was diagnosed with takayasu arteritis by Dr Sun and Huang. now I'm recovering after 2 mos. under their care. I 'd lost 20lbs lbs. before the before I went. now I've gained 6lbs of muscles through training heavy with keto carnivores diet. though I still have some coordination problems I'm pretty lean strong feeling great. I'd first learned from the "CURE" abou Dr Atkins and sugar since 2000. and you very right on the money. so with a deepest gratitude I wish the best and wonderful holidays and a safe and great shiny new year.
It is so refreshing to see TWO doctors who genuinely care about our health and want us to get better. For too long, obesity and the real things that causes it has been dismissed, in my opinion.
Two amazing doctors practicing evidence based medicine instead of the normal eminence based practices of most doctors using the eminence standard of care. Big food and big pharma does not make the rules of practice for these doctors. In less than 6 months I've lost 46 pounds and no longer take insulin or meds for diabetes. My blood pressure has plummeted as have my blood pressure meds. Still not metabolically healthy but I am so much better and no longer just waiting to die... I will continue... Thanks so much for what you both have done and continue to do!
I lost 25 lbs in 2 months after viewing Dr Berry's video on keto. He is certainly the guy to listen to and follow his guidance. Thanks Doctor.
You are truly a dynamic duo!
I read Dr. John Yudkin's book, "Sweet And Dangerous" in 1972, when I was 15. It changed my life. A year later, I read Dr. Atkins's first book, which reinforced what I learned in Yudkin's book. I think avoiding sugar and carbs saved me from being obese, like my grandmother who weighed 300 lbs. and suffered a stroke in her 40's that paralyzed one side of her face, or diabetic, like my cousin who had 2 kidney transplants (both of which eventually failed), and was going blind and deaf by the time she passed away. Thank you both for what you do! You continue to refine and reinforce the low carb message!
Dr Eric Westman is such a great communicator and author, I have several of his books, I wish he was my doctor.
My 2 favorite Doctors!! You both have been instrumental in my 2 year Keto journey!!
-100+lbs forever lost! Thank you both!!🙂💪Keto 4 life!!
Listening to some Americans having a hard time losing weight with Keto - eat smaller portions, you don't need to eat so damn much like you are used to, slowly cut back until you only eat small portions. Trust me you will lose weight when you stop eating so much. Americans typically eat way too much, could not believe the portions they eat.
JUST A BIG “THANKYOU”
FOR GIVING US THIS INFORMATION‼️👍🏽💜🌹
Thank you both for all you're doing.💖🙏💖
So great to see you both together!! Thank you for all you do, gentleman!
You all are feeding my soul right now. Thanks!
Best interview of the book tour, Dr Westman!
DR. BERRY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING.
Two of my favourite go to sources for advice. Great conversation.
Thank you ,great info. I'm grateful to have been introduced .
I learned about Keto from a friend last year and she credited her & her husband's weight loss & no more blood pressure medicines to you, Dr Berry! Thanks to you, my cholesterol is finally under control and I have lost 26 lbs. I credit your wife for me eating Ketovore now.
I am honored to help both of you, I will buy this book!
I can't believe I missed this interview!!! Literally my 2 favorite doctors.
My two favorite Doctors. Thanks
Thoroughly enjoyed this interview.
Unfortunely most vegan docs, nutritionists/dieticians still think fat and meat is the problem not sugar and carbs.
@R2 D2 here's what I think is happening and I listen to another great proponent to keto and from what I understand and the way he explained it was that fats especially when mixed carbs and sugars in other words he used to say things like the worst thing to eat is Chinese food like sweet and sour pork where they put sugars in with meat you end up with something that becomes a glycated or produced produces glycation which is actually the reason for lesions inside the arteries and Alzheimer's so I think what it is is the mixing of fats with carbs that is the big poisoner I think fat alone is very safe I have asked that same question that you have many times and it comes back to their safe alone but not mixed with anything else I'm pretty sure look up Dr Eric Berg he is the dude the go-to man
@R2 D2 Make sure you eat the right fats, avoid the seed oils. They wreck havoc on me.
@R2 D2 mh, curious. What exactly do you eat? Just hard to believe meat and data caused it, but I also don't fully understand the entire physiology, and everyone reacts differently to everything as well. ^^
@R2 D2 I don’t see enough people admitting both extremes of the spectrums, from vegetarian to carnivore, can provide substantial benefit. There’s a ton of research that suggests a high degree of benefits from either style are from what is removed rather than the diet itself. Being strict on not consuming junk is the real step one, which most people never fully complete before making judgments one way or the other. Also, extremists on each side who have not tried the opposite extreme and are not seeking the truth, become loyal to their team and just hate on the opposing side.
I’m a truth seeker. I’ve spent years I’d my life plant based, highly strict at times and very loose at other times. After trying carnivore out of pure curiosity, the benefits after only one month have been shocking. I’m not fully sold on something like this long term, but sticking with it for now.
The point is - people need to TRY and confirm before concluding and judging. We are complex humans and clearly a lot of this diet stuff is not even close to being fully understood. Take the shortcut, try it and do what makes you feel best. Get bloodwork, check your vitals, etc. Good luck to all
@R2 D2 Don't mix meat with potatoes. Don't mix fat and carbs. Either go keto, or go vegan, but don't mix the two. That's your problem.
Great interview!! So happy there are brilliant professionals working to inform the public.
I love Dr Berry’s passion!
Dr you get fired up to help people your truly a special person great job
Thankyou both. from Australia!
Thank God for both of you!!!! Thank you for not accepting the “status quo” of regular medicine. I am thrilled every time I hear someone state that their doctor recommends advice like both of yours! My health and life are changed for the better forever because of you both and your books and videos. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Thanks so much Ken, I learned from Eric’s YT videos and it’s wonderful to see you both in conversation together. 💞 and I was also one of the alumni founders who registered into the Keto Made Simple Course as a refresher.
Dr Westman is an absolute gem! ❤️
Thank you both so much for your time and helping to end the confusion about carbs! I look forward to reading Dr. Westman's book.
Love your no holds barred approach. you're right too many low carbers make excuses for the big lie.
Dr Westman and Dr Berry, that's double trouble for diabetes!
And for the pharmaceutical industry!
@@lovemylifeflorida2641 You know that's right.
Love y'all both so much. Thanks for everything y'all do! Y'all have definitely helped me tremendously.
Thank you both so much! Lost 20 initially. Need to lose 20 more but feel so much better! Thank you!!
Love you Dr. Westman! I’ve stayed fit and healthy on Atkins for 14 years.
Very well said. Only people can change the system. It may seem like an uphill battle but if they endure they can change. I’m blessed to have a Dr that supports and encourages Keto. He and his wife do it.
75, male and started keto about 90 days ago. 15 lbs came off and shocked how easy it was. Had stomach problems, doctor suggested it might be wheat. I read the book “Wheat Belly” and reduced the carbs and weight loss immediately began. Discovered keto, and after being a vegan for 10 years, enjoying the fat in my diet and low carbs. I was OK as a vegan, but overate constantly and could eat huge amounts but my weight was going up, and no longer could control the weight gain. Feeling a regeneration of my youth and strength, bought a Bowflex and looking forward to whatever years I have. Pork loin sirloin roast for lunch! Rarely hungry now and with intermittent fasting, 2 meals a day.
thank you for speaking “truth to power” you guys ❤️
You’re both incredible and I so appreciate all of your support, constant trailblazing, and the wealth of knowledge that you share consistently. Each of ya’alls books are wonderful! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!
I LOVE you both! Thank you for being so honest to us! I highly respect you both! I will share this video over and over! God bless you!
