    After 2 years of not snacking I can confirm the benefits: no more heartburn, faster weigh loss and I don't feel hungry at all. At some point I felt it was impossible, because most of my life I snacked literally all the time (like 10 to 20 times a day), but then added a little sign in my refrigerator saying: "no snacking (insulin resistance)", also the less carbs I ate, the less cravings I had.

      amazing! Any other tips you have to help stop? My schedule changed a year ago and find I'm snacking all the time, and it's so bad I know, but also feels so hard to stop. Did you eat 3 meals a day still when you were cutting snacks, or go cold turkey to 1 or 2 meals/fasting?

      ABSOLUTELY GREAT! I know EXACTLY what you are going through my friend. The environment we work in is not our friend with the (Cinnabon, pizza and other high carbohydrate choices that are so readily accessible. If you find that you run into a (plateau) situation like I did check every little bit of the hidden sugars that you might be consuming like in coffee or perhaps anything than water only. I found when I stopped putting even a little sugar in my coffee that the numbers on the scale where dropping fast. I wish you the best of success and stay the course IT WILL HAPPEN!
      I went from 330lb to 171lbs with Keto and Dr.Berg videos . You are in the RIGHT place.

    I started dirty keto in February 2022. I knew I needed a while to get my body accustomed. I ate 3 times a day for a while without snacks. I was 6'2" and 298 pounds and 52 years old. I couldn't walk on my bad ankle any more. I was told I needed ankle reconstruction. I was certainly pre-diabetic. I had no energy. I took off 10-15 pounds no problem, then decided to take the plunge to 2 meals a day and clean keto in April. Then graduated to omad. Then graduated to 2-3 day fasts every couple weeks when I realized I only rarely got truly hungry.
    I have now moved on to running (sprints and light jogging- unbelievebly my ankle can now take short distances) and lifting while maintaining healthy keto.
    This morning I got on the scale 2.5 months after I began hardcore healthy keto and a month after I started an exercise program. 244. 54 pounds down from March 1.
    My family (and myself) simply can't believe it. People think I am starving myself even though my caloric intake really hasn't gone down substantially and I eat a giant meal of delicious food every day. My fat roll around my belly has shriveled down to what it looked like 20 years ago. I am almost back to college weight. I feel...I don't even know how to describe it.
    I can't say enough but I will stop now.

    I believe there's a balance with snacking that you need to have. Depending on your day, or the activities you are doing, it may be beneficial for you to have a healthy snack. As someone who works out almost everyday and twice a day a couple times a week, I need that fuel for my body. The snacks I have, if any, are healthy and what my body needs. So I do believe that if you are snacking out of boredom (etc.), snacking for no good reason, snacking on unhealthy foods, or not getting enough exercise, then you should rethink your choices. With all of that taken into consideration, having a snack isn't all that bad.

      @@mallorylewis1418 I race in triathlons. I trained for and completed the Ironman Coeur d'Alene last year on an intermittent fasting (one meal a day weekdays and 2 meals a day weekends) and keto diet. Best result I have ever accomplished--PRd by over 45 minutes. The only time I "snacked" was during the race and I used Keto bricks as my refuel source. However, I don't recommend others to do it because it takes tremendous discipline to enter full ketosis. In full ketosis though, you have virtually endless fuel source and there is no "hitting the wall."
      Anyway, never have I felt I am "restricting" myself. My body has all the fuel it requires even if I am going for a 85 mile bike run or an 18 mile run or a 90 minute weightlifting session.

Snack foods were a luxury item for me and guess what, I am losing a pound a week without doing anything else different in my eating or exercise! You are so right! I will never go back to spending extra money on food my body just does not need. I may have to buy smaller clothes at this point....but there are thrift stores for that problem.

I have increased energy. I don’t crave anything (well, potato chips now and then, but I try not to give in because I’m on keto), and my persistent low-grade inflammation is gone.
    Thank you Dr Berg! You are so appreciated!

    I was 290 pounds when I was 20 (Currently 43 YO). I was determined to lose weight once the skin on the palm of hands started peeling. A symptom my Mom had just before she was diagnosed with diabetes. I lost about 100 pounds in 1 year exercising and starving myself eating Tiny meals multiple times per day just as we were always told to do. I maintained the same diet for 20 years but came back up to 215 pounds for the last 20 years. I couldn't lose the extra weight no matter how hard I tried (6'2" is my height). I found Dr. Berg on RUclips last year and implemented low carb and IF. I easily lost 40 pounds and am now a lean n mean 175 pounds! I'm trying for 170. The best part of all is my wife, the other day at Home Depot, sees me in an aisle from afar. She didn't recognize me as she thought I was just another one of those rare skinny guys!

      I agree 💯 %
      With Dr Berg, I started I.F. and clean Keto (I am 6’2 50yr) Over the last 9 months three major things changed for me;
      I went from 250 lbs. to 195 lbs.
      My blood pressure changed from an average 150/90 to a daily 120/77
      My over all bodily functions have improved immensely. My joints are pain free, my seasonal allergies have cleared up, and my mentally clarity is as sharp as ever.
      I could go on and on about the benefits of Dr Berg’s program...
      One thing to know is this; Nearly everything Americans know about food, health and the food pyramid is a LIE.
      I.M.H.O. Sugar, specifically refined sugars added to food, is a drug. These refined sugars are very addictive. The damage sugar does to our body is detrimental in many different ways. Long term use will cause a plethora of life long health issues.

    Your videos are fascinating and I can relate to everything in them. State of mind affected my eating habits. It's a vicious cycle. For example, I was very unhappy at work, the stress, people etc. I found comfort in food. Sweet, high carbs, saturated fat... I'd snack all day, have dinner, usually pasta, and watch TV. Bedtime, ice cream and the more the better. I put on so much weight that I was embarrassed to be seen and I covered up, even on the hottest days.
    Since leaving that job, after sixteen years of service, I've re engaged with my hobbies and I've got a temporary job without the stress. It is a physical role, something I'm not used to. However, it's done me the world of good.

Or I'll do a taco (with a siete brand tortilla) with one serving of the siete chips.

    Great video, as usual Dr Berg. Just a note to anyone confused - a few times between 5:34 and 6:00 Dr Berg said that insulin could be made in the liver. This was just a slip of the tongue. He was talking about glucose being made in the liver, not insulin.

It was hard for me- then I stumbled across Dr.Berg and I cannot thank him enough for his videos. My uncle and grandfather are chiropractors, I’m a firm believer in the fact that they care more and understand more of the human body than modern medicine pushing doctors.

    I started doing omad right after Thanksgiving. I wanted to lose 15 lbs. By May 1 I had lost 38 lbs....and for first time in my life needed to gain a few lbs. I lifter heavy the whole time and of all the weight I lost only 8 of it was muscle. 30 lbs of fat! 15 percent body fat now. Stopping snacking was hard but day by day I got thru it and at then at some point hunger just went away and the lbs started falling off. Dr Berg was my inspiration and I share his videos on fasting with anyone who asks what I did. Btw, when I share his videos on my Facebook page, the info is suppressed. Sometimes they get zero views and zero likes....unlike other posts I make. I feel like his content is being suppressed. Anyone else notice that on FB?

    I have recently started the keto diet and it’s amazing how it helped towards eating just what I need especially my snacking has stopped and I don’t feel the need to snack for the sake of it.
    It’s helped me control my food portions.
    It’s actually trained my system that I don’t action need certain kinds of food especially high carb foods and snacking. I am actually eating more salad and green vegs.
    I also have fun down in how many meals I have during the day and it’s amazing as I am still losing weight and exercising as well.
    My daughter has been telling for ages mum pleasing follow the keto diet and it will solve a lot of problems for you.

    1.) Eat a meal with no snacks between each one.
    2.) If you're not hungry in early morning, that's fine! Just sip water until you are.
    3.) Avoid having too much sugar in the evening; it messes up your insulin resistance and hinders sleep quality.
    3.a.) Low-carb, high-fat meal at dinner (eggs, spinach, peanuts, beef jerky, etc.) is ideal for insulin control, sleep quality, and reduced cravings (make sure you're actually full, too).
    3.b.) A little Fiber for any and all meals is always ideal.
    4.) EXERCISE. Something simple like a 5-minute HIIT, 3 times throughout the day is easy and helps more than 1 hour at a gym (same goes with resistance training).
    4.a.) Push-ups, Bicep-Curls, and "Hanging" (from a pull-up bar or something similar for around 30 seconds each time) covers your basic strength needs.
    4.b.) Jumping Jacks, Mountain Climbers, and Burpees covers your basic cardiovascular needs (in a HIIT).
    5.) If Vitamins are tough for you to get from food, then just take supplements. It's super easy, and better than nothing at all.
    5.a.) Apple Cider Vinegar and Magnesium are best taken in the evenings for improved sleep, insulin control, and nerve health.
    5.b.) All B-Vitamins, Vitamin C, and Omega-3 are best taken in the mornings before or during a meal for maximum absorption and function.

You are not recommended to drink our city water. I don’t miss snacks. I’m to busy being creative. Nor do I want to take time away from designing to make snacks.

I have also shifted from gentle range of motion water exercises to a more vigorous 60-minute water aerobics routine twice a week (wish it could be more often). Thank you, Dr Berg, for the info & encouragement provided on this channel. My efforts are showing real results! I have lost over 54 pounds since 2/22/2022 (4 months) and after years of yo-yo dieting, I'm down 144 pounds from my all time high in the summer of 2009. I've begun digging out clothes that have been packed away for many years; and I'm throwing away or donating the ones that are now falling off of me. Saving them would be like giving myself permission to gain back the weight. (I am keeping one dress for comparison purposes only.)
