I recently started the keto diet from watching your videos today I found out I have covid is it ok to drink the gatorade, orange juice, etc..trying to think of ways I can stick to keto while fighting covid any pointers?
I started Keto 3 months ago, 277 lbs and my a1c was 7.4. Now 235 lbs and a1c is down to 5.7. It’s been tough but I have been cooking separate meals for me and family and work at night. I used to wear size 44 shorts and now can fit 38s. I just need work on my energy for workouts since I struggle with sleep due to life schedule. Cravings are more mental for me but my body doesn’t crave it. Main goal is to reverse my diabetes.
So proud of you I want to start keto diet I'm currently 191 my goal is 150 but is so hard I cook everyday for the family I quite soda chips and all does bad habits but is hard cooking separate meals all the times
What the heck! Thats awesome! good job on jump starting your health journey with keto. I know you'll cure your type 2 insulin resistance within the year with the willingness you've shared. You have any favorite RUclips channels besides this one? I have centered my wellness around metabolic dietary intake and anti-inflammation and I haven't lost any pounds on my scale. I have lost inches, feel great, and maintained my weight loss.
I started keto on September 1 when I was 316 pounds. This morning, November 4, I weigh 289. I am never hungry. I mean NEVER hungry. Two weeks ago, I stopped taking my insulin because my doctor had said that insulin makes it harder to lose weight. Before keto, my blood sugar was difficult to control even with insulin. Spikes over 200 were very common. Now my blood sugar rarely goes over 140, even without taking any insulin. And I have been doing it without fully understanding what I am supposed to do on true keto. I stumbled on your videos this week and love them because you back up your videos with the research studies that we don’t have time to read.
My deal ! I've battled weight since I was 5 , I'm 53 now. In 2005 I came home from work and two half gallons of juice in the matter of seconds ( I'm not exaggerating) I found out I was pre diabetic. Well I didn't take it seriously , went to Lancaster, Pa and gorged myself with everything to eat. This was a chain reaction of my future hell! I couldn't get enough to drink , my kidneys was hurting., my vision was extremely blurry with contrast, I found out I had a kidney stone. Doctors refused to treat me , thinking it was a back injury . They checked my blood sugar and it was 503 . I had neuropathy in my feet which was incredibly painful. I ended up seeing a endocrinologist and he immediately put me on metformin, actos and lantus. I couldn't get my sugar under 250 so the answer bariatic surgery or die. I went to several more doctors as time went on , all the same story except adding more insulin's and pills, with the same exact bariatric recommendation. I was on a list of medicines that looked like a shopping list for 100 people. My father died from complications of diabetes so that also added to mental problems with depression, so more meds more hunger more insulin, foot pain , I could only manage in a scooter. I then sat down and started a plan, low carb only counting total carbs and walking on a treadmill starting at 5 min . In 2.5 years I lost 40 pounds. This was totally unacceptable to me. I started researching keto back as far as the early 1900's. They treated patients with epilepsy. It was very effective from the studies. They also discussed glucose response with carbohydrates. All carbs are not equal. Fiber and sugar alcohols have almost zero effect on insulin response. This is where olestra became popular. You had to eat them in the bathroom because you were stuck there for hours after eating olestra chips. I then started keto according to books and most success dictated net carbs so I went in that direction and lost a total of 185 pounds. No scooter , hiking in the mountains , perfect blood work , I went for an A1C of 12.6 to now I'm at 5.6 , I'm only on metformin now but Rome wasn't built in a day. I'm now on a mission to inspire others to do the same . Anyway thanks for your time ! I'm not selling anything and no affiliations to click. Maybe just to inspire people to get moving !
@@malaysiamoonsamy123 yes absolutely! I'm on very little meds (metformin) . I had no idea how bad off I was till I made the changes. I would check with your doctor first just to be safe
I never comment on videos but I just have to. I try to watch one of your videos every morning as I’m getting ready for the day. I have a notebook and pen by my side to take notes. I am learning so much through your channel / content! Thank you so much for taking time to share your knowledge and experience with us. You are changing lives!
Thomas, my husband and I want to thank you for all the information and encouragement to literally change our lives. So far, so good. We appreciate you.
You have the best description boxes. For those of us who need to review the material several times before we understand, that is so helpful. Thank you!
I’m glad you touched on Cancer, i went to one of the best alternative medicine cancer clinic in the USA after finding melanoma (not genetic in my case) at the age of 24.. they told me to do vegan keto with meat 1x daily so not fully vegan. I tried it and that was awful so i went with regular keto. After 6 months on keto i looked taller, thinner, healthier skin and less acne, more energy, gym was fun, super clean house lol, felt less stress... (chronic stress I feel is just as important to reduce as unhealthy carbs) but then the FB warrior vegans got me. So i went vegan and felt like shit and gained the weight back, lost all the benefits pretty fast. That spiraled into going back to a SAD diet. And here i am back at keto watching this guy for the past 3 weeks and already feeling amazing. I got back into ketosis rather fast about 48 hours. But pretty sure it’s because my body still remembers how to utilize that fat for energy from when i previously did keto. Take it from someone who made mistake after mistake on keto the first time. Cheated tons, still ate carbs and would have to jump back on once a week so basically only keto 3-6 days a week. IT WORKS even if you make everyyy mistake and just keep going it still works. I looked and felt amazing. I already feel amazing this time, this time I think I’m more motivated because I really don’t have the urge to splurge and cheat, and when i do it’s not satisfying at all. I’ve been cancer free for 3 years now. And I have heard many stories through Instagram about how people have reversed and healed completely their cancer using keto or vegan keto or green keto, even dirty keto. It’s definitely not a for sure cure but i have seen so much success. * not everyone can get back into ketosis as fast as me, both times i have been keto was while nursing 🧑🍼 my children which nursing and being pregnant can speed up the process (or at least i think it does) personally after a cheat meal i have seen myself get back into ketosis as little as 12 hours but again that’s while breastfeeding TMI but one of my biggest issues was toxins and not sweating or 💩 enough. They wanted me in a sauna and going daily 🚽.. keto did that for me just running around like a crack head cleaning left me sweaty and I definitely flushes plenty of toxins. Again compare that to vegan and I wasn’t flushing 😉 often and already stopped sweating as much. It’s not until you get a cancer diagnosis that you truly appreciate sweating.
Dude! What happened to the “How To Keto” video you had up? It was 45 minutes long, and my go to video to show people about the diet. Can I still find it somewhere?
It should still be there in his play list? I just watched it last night (although I did fall asleep on it, shouldn't have watched it so late in the night).
Thanks Thomas, I like when you add the personal stuff to keep it in our minds your transformation. I have lost 100 lbs and I'm feeling awsome, definitely dont feel my age of 52. Thank you for your hard work and willingness to share your knowledge with us. You have been a huge part of my weight loss and new healthy lifestyle journey. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I really like that Thomas kept his mistakes in the video. Eg he accidentally said 'Taunt' instead of 'Flaunt', and corrected himself, - the youtube channels that edit all the mistakes, and especially edit the pauses out are too much. This guy is chill. A pleasure to watch.
It's been two years now since this man , Dr Barry and Dr Berg helped change my life for the better I'm a person born with a heart condition who lost 106ibs and I've been my high school weight of 167ibs ever since also my sister has epilepsy and it has helped her stay seizure free now for over a year.
Thomas, I'm a RN, MSN so I appreciate you using research to increase knowledge for positive decision making. You are not being prescriptive but taking the approach that knowledge is power. OK You are a "Power Enhancer"!
So im guessing all the HyperKeto stuff in the coments is a paid bot advertising thing. Most of the accounts were created recently and all comments posted 22hrs ago. So just watch that. Great video tho Thomas
Hello, I am one of the thousands of people participating in the one month Keto challenge... I know you more than likely wont see this... but one the off chance that you do... it would be AMAZING if in your next update video for the challenge you could address how it is okay to fail, as long as you don't give up... and maybe address all of the negative comments and post on the Facebook page... there are people on the page who are making this challenge less like a community exercise in supporting each other, and more like a competition about who can make everyone else feel like the biggest loser (and not in terms of weight or inches). The Facebook page was a novel idea, but without anyone monitoring it... alot of people aren't getting the support they are looking for, or need.
Most of the post on the Facebook page our guys and obviously they're going to lose more weight in a faster mile time because they have more muscle that's just the way it is and my guess is they're probably trolling for chicks just my personal opinion LOL
I'm doing the month challenge to and I have never seen the Facebook page. Just focus on you and your goals and I find that the comments on RUclips are mostly positive and helpful.
Cecelia I'm on the challenge too. Though am on fb didn't go to the challenge timeline there. I have my own struggles & really don't want to deal with naysayers. I appreciate support, that's what I'm here for. We all basically know what to eat. We get support through the ups and downs. I'm apparently very slow at losing. I think my body was already used to intermittent fasting so with keto losing lbs is like pulling teeth with plastic plyers. I'm older which is not the average age here as a 67 year old woman. And am not able to do the workouts others do. So it's easy to get discouraged. Thank you for sharing. Wishing you the best. Am hanging in here. Take care!
I don't tell what I'm doing on facebook. Many times friends (and strangers) try to sabotage our efforts out of jealousy or ignorance. I'm one of those who if I ever visit my page on facebook, I only post cute kittens and such.
Thank you for being here for keto contents. Been doing keto (on and off) for years and it's wonderful, your contents have been my one of my main references for the lifestyle, thank you
Omg thank you for making this video, I really wanted to know a lot of details about the Ketogenic diet because I recently started it and still had many questions about how it works and what kind of meals I’m able to eat. Sending you good vibes man ✌🏼😎 ✨
I'm sorry to hear about your Mom's Parkinson's, but I have some great news for you. I just so happen to have researched this and know what causes it and how to reverse it. I feel like I'm your lucky lottery ticket LOL. If you think about it, what's the chances that out of millions of people, we meet on YT and I have the cure you need? I guess like they say, God has a reason for all things. Anyway, years ago when I was in college and had to do a Masters degree thesis paper, the professor said it could be a paper about anything we wanted. Since we have different family members who have had Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS, Lupus, and schizophrenia, I knew there had to be a link to all of these things, and decided to do some investigation into it. My Grandfather died from Parkinson's, my Uncle died from ALS, and I have a distant cousin who has schizophrenia. My Grandfather's sister was also diagnosed with Alzheimer's and a 3rd cousin has lupus. Anyway, after alot of research, I found out the link to all of these things and it's free copper. It's a genetic defect in the ATP7B gene which is a copper binding gene. When the copper from the food we eat is not adequately binded or bound to ceruloplasmin protein, it can't be evacuated out of the body through the bile duct, and gradually builds up. Most people with this defect live a relatively normal life, because their blood brain barrier (BBB) protects their brain, but when they get older, the BBB starts to deteriorate and the toxic buildup of free copper enters their brain, which causes Alzheimer's, Parkinson's etc. When people are affected by the free copper at a younger age, it's usually lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or schizophrenia. The toxic free copper is highly inflammatory and has the same effect as heavy metal poisoning. There's a new test called the direct measurement of free copper test and the test # is 279071 at the lab corp locations in the US. This is different than a normal serum copper test, this test will measure the amount of unbound or free copper contained in the serum copper. In all of these diseases and disorders, it has been shown that people have an elevated free copper. In fact almost 20 years ago 2 researchers applied with the FDA to treat these conditions with a copper lowering compound named ammonium tetrathiomolybdate. One of the researchers actually took Alzheimer's and Parkinson's patients and decoppered them with this compound, which reversed their conditions. The FDA sometimes takes decades to approve anything, and I'm sure big pharma had something to do with blocking this cure, because as you know, treating these conditions with drugs is a billion dollar industry. Anyway, I'll give you my email Erica, and you can contact me if you need more information. If you want, I can email papers to you that you can give to her doctor, which shows the tests she needs and how to lower her free copper. Since this is a genetic or hereditary thing, you should also have your free copper tested. Years ago I tested my free copper and it was super high. I have since lowered it to normal, long ago. Anyway, my email is natureman223 at g mail com. I had to spread it out and use at in place of the symbol, because YT has keyword software that blocks email sharing. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me. Take care Erica, and don't worry, your Mother's condition can be reversed. I can email you medical literature showing you how to lower her free copper with zinc therapy. Good luck and God Bless.
starting keto was very easy for me. We started Keto after being Vegan for 6 years... The main reason why we changed over was the health benefits. I had a heart attack at year 6 of a vegan diet, and I was able to cure my heart and vessels, and arteries changing over to the keto diet.
Thank you #ThomasDelauer I lost 65 lbs on this in 30 days: Fat 79% Carbs 11% Protein 10% plus 4hrs daily of cardio. *What's your Ratios* Leave your % of #fat #carbs #protein. .
Hey Thomas, I'm doing Keto diet for one months now together with intermittent fasting 18h. I have a problem, I don't decrease weight anymore.. for 3 days I eat only one time a day. Overall I lost 5 kg. And btw thank you very much for your efforts, free information and guidance!
Maybe check out some of his other videos. This one talks about mistakes he made that slowed down his weight loss, including eating too much fat and to not fast too much: ruclips.net/video/jEPNFtjfj54/видео.html
I've been dealing with digestive issues for years, and I've seen multiple practioners including a GI doctor, a functional medicine doctor and a gut health coach. I've gained what I think is important info but still I was not getting relief. I started keto in a effort to get to a normal so that I can start adding food items to see what exactly I am sensitive to. For the first time I am hopeful. That said, I think I might just stick with keto anyway for the health benefits, especially alzheimers prevention. I've eliminated vegetables for the moment since I appear to be sensitive, at least to some, and I need to figure out a multivitamin in the meantime. Thanks you for all your education and insight!
What veggies can you eat besides green leafy veggies can you also drink the coconut juice also and when eating chicken can it be fried or baked with skin on it and can you have mayonnaise ,how many meals a day and when should we stop eating after 6:00pm?
I've gone from being totally intimidated by keto, to feeling informed and a little more educated. Really excited to get going. Thank you for your help and education.
Keto is a lifestyle❣️ The only diet I have ever lost weight & kept it off. I was borderline diabetic before starting Keto; now my numbers are perfect...ALL my numbers!! My Doctor is amazed, everyone that knows me is amazed at my physical transformation & most importantly I feel GREAT!! Intermittent fasting has made it so I didn’t wrinkle up, nor do I have loose skin & I’m up there in the years. Even my family says if they didn’t know my age they would not believe it. I totally recommend Keto & IF to everyone who wants a high quality lifestyle.💖
Did your doctor believe that you did this with keto. Did he try to tell you it was going to ruin your heart. I'm actually afraid to tell a doctor that I'm doing this.
For anyone just getting into this, I just have to say that the benefits of this way of life is astounding. Even just a month is transformative. But the benefits don't stop there... you will very quickly realize that it's SO important that you think for yourself instead of blindly following what others tell you. Sure, investigate, but make educated decisions. Keto is like a gateway drug to new critical thinking.
The hardest addaptation with this diet for me at least was a social one . Family aint doing it and wifey and the boys aint also so gotta be wise about it . Lost 36 pound in 5 month for me realy took my time into it and enjoying it . Now im stuck in a plateau tho but feels good still wish i could break it
Very common in KETO, you lose weight for the first few months and then it seems to just shut off. Tons of info on the internet on this along with scientific studies.
Hi thomas i wanted to ask you if you could make a video about cheat meal. See I ussually cheat on sundays and not just a high carb meal, but also sweet stuff like coockies cakes etc. I've been in keto for 5 months and I've noticed that if I cheat on Sundays, and then do a 21-22 hour fast (on Monday), I easily go back into keto again. So it would be great if you do a video explaining a little bit about your cheat day and if doing this has a lot of negative repercussion on the fat adaptation. Thank you very much
@@ThomasDeLauerOfficial hi Thomas. What is your opinion about greens healthy powders out in the markets? I found the "Genuine Healthy Green+ " powder and was wondering if they are keto friendly? Here's a link to the product but as an example www.genuinehealth.com/en-ca/products/green-foods/
You dont know how many times I wanted to sign up with Butcher box. The thing of it is even with your 20 $ discount I still cant afford it. I do the best I can.
Gotta say, this is one of my favorite videos because it touches on the subject of Diabetes Type 2 which is a growing problem in modern America and the world due to our bad diets and poor nutrition education from our doctors and food/pharmaceutical industry. Really powerful information, and I am sure it will motivate many people that are borderline diabetic to embrace this powerful lifestyle and reduce their A1C to prevent from becoming Diabetic. Love your content! Please keep making videos on new research and information regarding this important topic!!!! Keep on Rocking the health world Thomas!!
Just to let you guys know. If you’re highly active, on ur feet all day, make sure to buy lots of products that contain magnesium. Omega 3 are a must. Buy fish oil, sardines, salmon
Stacey I eat 2 meals a day, 1st meal is dinner with my family at 6pm and I cook my food for my last meal during my shift at 2am. I get off at 6am and fast until the next dinner. That is a 12 hour fast. For dinner I eat a smaller portion but before I leave work I make my green tea matcha , mct oil and heavy cream a packet of stevia for all the energy throughout my shift. Then my last meal is majority of my food.
Mark Castro wish I can do a 24 hour fast, I’m still dependent on my day and evening meds(food required). But once I start taking some of them off the list. I lost 40lbs already been on keto 3-4 months now and diabetes below the reference for a1c
I was 220 and diabetic when I decided to try keto. I'm at 180 now, Dr says I'm no longer diabetic (a1c 5.1) but I'm looking forward to my break to see if I'm still not diabetic when I'm getting more carbs.
You have simplified this so much. I had started for the second time at 163 lbs and now 140 lbs. Just for a few months on this diet. I watched the fasting videos and learned to break a fast with bone broth. I usually just eat all if not most of my cals/macros in one sitting lol. Is this bad?
I'm an example of diabetes reversal. I am now off all insulin and no longer take metformin. My doctor had me take th A1c test. When I came to see him about my results he said, "Well, your not diabetic." My A1c was at 4.8. Before my tests results were at 8 or above.
In June I contracted COVID-19 and spent over a week in the hospital with blood sugar levels nearing 400 points due to the continuous carb diet they were feeding me. It took me four months to get off the oxygen. I was at least 300 lbs and by the time I was off of oxygen in late Oct 21 I had only lost 6 lbs. Today is Dec 3 and I have been eating keto for the past 5 or 6 weeks and now I weigh 263 and my blood sugars are right around 100 points or lower on any given test. Thank you for sharing this information it has changed my life.
Mr. Thomas, I’m into Day 11 of KETO (thanks to you!) I’m 62 years old. I’m having a VERY difficult time meeting my Macros daily! The satiation is extreme for me. I feel full! I do 18 hour fasts almost daily. I have black coffee with Exongenous Ketones and Butter every morning and am not hungry until early afternoon. I am not getting all my fat in :-/ and most days I’m not getting my protein in either. My Macro Carbs are 20 but most days I’m getting only 9-12. So overall I’m not getting my macros in! HELP! I don’t want to lose muscle at my age!! I’m getting most of my gallon of water in! I take Vitamin supplements and I really don’t snack often. Maybe cashews or macadamia nuts and rarely a mozzarella cheese with salami snack. Any teaching you can give me will really help! I’m loving the KETO diet! I’ve lost 9 lbs so far but thankfully I’ve lost more inflammation and inches which is my goal! Thank you
This is the best channel on Keto and intermittent fasting. All backed by real science... but Always presented in easy to Understand Terms andthis guy really knows his stuff♡♡♡
Same here. When last checked i was almost pre-diabetic. So I started doing a Whole30 once a quarter and reduced grains, glutens, sugars and dairy drastically. Considering Keto now ...
@@2muchtalk173 I was low carb until early Feb when I started Keto. I've been doing Keto for about 6 weeks now. I got my blood work rechecked about a week ago and my A1c dropped from 5.8 to 5.3 and I've lost 5 lbs. since Keto. I feel better and I know Keto is working for me. I am sure my doc will take me off my metformin when I go for my follow up next week. :)
Great review! One thing I'd love to to see is for you to serve up a rebuttal video or series of videos that tear apart Dr. Greger's hit pieces that he's put up recently. Those videos are so dishonest, and need a good rebuttal from someone like you! Keep up the great videos!
As a point, I have reversed my own diabetes, and my heart failure is healing, too. I didn't think either was possible, but my doctors swear that it's not that unusual, when someone takes control of their own health!
1:20 从 amazing 2 minutes rhetoric about the mythical 4th macronutrient ... Color me wow 😲😳😲 I didn't think such an old video of yours could impress me so much. You're a god so much!
Thank you so much for your channel!! I have tried Keto 2 years ago and didn’t do too well. I ate too much fat, too many carbs and I was so confused. I began researching dieting on AARP and they referred their readers to a movie “The Magic Pill”. What an eye opening documentary on health and wellness. Both my parents had dementia, both diabetics. The information I had two years ago obviously wasn’t very helpful and I have been researching on line to educate myself more so I can be successful this go around. In my research I came across your channel. I started Monday 7/19. The first day I didn’t document what I ate until that night, I was just going to see if I could get into the rhythm of not eating carbs first. I realized I did pretty good. I followed your meal plan on one of your videos and I came in right on with my carbs! I was a little low on my fats and struggled to find something I could have to get me there. I was excited. I realize I can’t follow those meal plans everyday and I continued to watch my carbs the next day and focus on that as you suggested. It worked I was under in protein and fat but under on carbs. Today I watched a few more of your videos (thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!) So now I realize I don’t have to be afraid of eating more protein. You have explained this lifestyle so well! It can be very confusing and overwhelming as it was for me two years ago but now I feel confident, especially from your videos, that I can succeed and make this a healthy lifestyle for myself. Thank you a million times over and I look forward to watching all your videos!!
Thomas, can you explain exactly how much protein and fat i should eat when bodybuilding and following the keto diet. I find it confusing that everyone says something else. And you said multiple times that you shouldn’t really worry about a high protein intake. I am 1,88m and weigh 87 kilos about 11% bf right now. I eat about 2800 kcals a day.
@@GoooooooogIe The contribution of proteins is so insignificant you don't even have to bother. So take your proteins, and fill the remaining with fat and carbs😉
@@GoooooooogIe Gluconeogenesis only occurs when the body needs it to. If the brain, or other cells/organs/parts of the body needs glucose only then will gluconeogenesis take place. I believe Thomas has mentioned this in a few videos.
I find them on RUclips all the time. Sometimes I just want a good book to pull of the shelf and use while cooking instead of searching the web. Thanks for the ideas guys!
@Thomas Im in a wheelchair , really struggling to make my race competition weight so I would be interested to know how you think Keto would work for athletes ? my sport has a big demand on the anaerobic system so im thinking could I use the Keto to reach my desired race weight ( I carry a lot of fat around abdominal area ) and then introduce carbs slowly , could I stay on Keto or is there another method you think will work? any advice would be much appreciated. with the current situation my competitions have been cancelled im thinking now is a good time to get things on the right path

I recently started the keto diet from watching your videos today I found out I have covid is it ok to drink the gatorade, orange juice, etc..trying to think of ways I can stick to keto while fighting covid any pointers?
Thank you.
Thanks again today I p
I started Keto 3 months ago, 277 lbs and my a1c was 7.4. Now 235 lbs and a1c is down to 5.7. It’s been tough but I have been cooking separate meals for me and family and work at night. I used to wear size 44 shorts and now can fit 38s. I just need work on my energy for workouts since I struggle with sleep due to life schedule. Cravings are more mental for me but my body doesn’t crave it. Main goal is to reverse my diabetes.
So proud of you I want to start keto diet I'm currently 191 my goal is 150 but is so hard I cook everyday for the family I quite soda chips and all does bad habits but is hard cooking separate meals all the times
How are you doing now? 9 months later. I just started i'm on day 8 today.. Still pushing through.
Creatine is a good boost for a prework out and after it is good too. So I heard. I get the aspartame free.
What the heck! Thats awesome! good job on jump starting your health journey with keto. I know you'll cure your type 2 insulin resistance within the year with the willingness you've shared. You have any favorite RUclips channels besides this one?
I have centered my wellness around metabolic dietary intake and anti-inflammation and I haven't lost any pounds on my scale. I have lost inches, feel great, and maintained my weight loss.
I'm curious how it went Cyrus. Did you stick with it? I rebounded out of keto once, and then I tried again a year later and saved my life.
I started keto on September 1 when I was 316 pounds. This morning, November 4, I weigh 289. I am never hungry. I mean NEVER hungry. Two weeks ago, I stopped taking my insulin because my doctor had said that insulin makes it harder to lose weight. Before keto, my blood sugar was difficult to control even with insulin. Spikes over 200 were very common. Now my blood sugar rarely goes over 140, even without taking any insulin. And I have been doing it without fully understanding what I am supposed to do on true keto. I stumbled on your videos this week and love them because you back up your videos with the research studies that we don’t have time to read.
My deal ! I've battled weight since I was 5 , I'm 53 now. In 2005 I came home from work and two half gallons of juice in the matter of seconds ( I'm not exaggerating) I found out I was pre diabetic. Well I didn't take it seriously , went to Lancaster, Pa and gorged myself with everything to eat. This was a chain reaction of my future hell! I couldn't get enough to drink , my kidneys was hurting., my vision was extremely blurry with contrast, I found out I had a kidney stone. Doctors refused to treat me , thinking it was a back injury . They checked my blood sugar and it was 503 . I had neuropathy in my feet which was incredibly painful. I ended up seeing a endocrinologist and he immediately put me on metformin, actos and lantus. I couldn't get my sugar under 250 so the answer bariatic surgery or die. I went to several more doctors as time went on , all the same story except adding more insulin's and pills, with the same exact bariatric recommendation. I was on a list of medicines that looked like a shopping list for 100 people. My father died from complications of diabetes so that also added to mental problems with depression, so more meds more hunger more insulin, foot pain , I could only manage in a scooter. I then sat down and started a plan, low carb only counting total carbs and walking on a treadmill starting at 5 min . In 2.5 years I lost 40 pounds. This was totally unacceptable to me. I started researching keto back as far as the early 1900's. They treated patients with epilepsy. It was very effective from the studies. They also discussed glucose response with carbohydrates.

You had to eat them in the bathroom because you were stuck there for hours after eating olestra chips. I then started keto according to books and most success dictated net carbs so I went in that direction and lost a total of 185 pounds. No scooter , hiking in the mountains , perfect blood work , I went for an A1C of 12.6 to now I'm at 5.6 , I'm only on metformin now but Rome wasn't built in a day. I'm now on a mission to inspire others to do the same . Anyway thanks for your time ! I'm not selling anything and no affiliations to click. Maybe just to inspire people to get moving !
I have same problems you facing neuropathy, my a1c is 13 so you say keto is good for us dibetics
@@malaysiamoonsamy123 yes absolutely! I'm on very little meds (metformin) . I had no idea how bad off I was till I made the changes. I would check with your doctor first just to be safe
Thank you hun appreciate your prompt response
@@malaysiamoonsamy123 your welcome! Anytime!
Dude!! I’m over the moon happy for you!!!! What a life changing choice to limit carbs and then start keto!!!!! Congratulations! 👍🏼🤠
Having spent my life yo-yoing, Keto has been a miracle. I’m down 38 pounds in 5 months and I feel great!
How did you start? I'm wanting to start but confused about what to eat. Thanks in advance.
Hi dear
Me too
What do you, please let us know, from start of u r morning, what you eat...
Thank you, greatly appreciated
How did you lose that much weight, I want to follow keto diet, but it seems so confusing
wow good 4 u
I tried a great Keto plan and it works awesome, to share it with you, please email me and I will be greatful to give it to you: (Lollap1994@gmail.com)
I never comment on videos but I just have to. I try to watch one of your videos every morning as I’m getting ready for the day. I have a notebook and pen by my side to take notes. I am learning so much through your channel / content! Thank you so much for taking time to share your knowledge and experience with us. You are changing lives!
I to do not comet very often on videos. And I totally agree with everything you just said. I would love to know the reasons you don't comment?

Thomas, my husband and I want to thank you for all the information and encouragement to literally change our lives. So far, so good. We appreciate you.
This guy is top notch. One of the best, if not the best online RUclips educators period.
Mike Orsini Agreed
I'd say he's on par with Dr. Ken Berry.
His knowledge and just personality like its actually interesting to watch not some boring old head just telling the facts
I call him my health coach.
I love Dr Berg too!!
You have the best description boxes. For those of us who need to review the material several times before we understand, that is so helpful. Thank you!

I’m glad you touched on Cancer, i went to one of the best alternative medicine cancer clinic in the USA after finding melanoma (not genetic in my case) at the age of 24.. they told me to do vegan keto with meat 1x daily so not fully vegan. I tried it and that was awful so i went with regular keto. After 6 months on keto i looked taller, thinner, healthier skin and less acne, more energy, gym was fun, super clean house lol, felt less stress... (chronic stress I feel is just as important to reduce as unhealthy carbs) but then the FB warrior vegans got me. So i went vegan and felt like shit and gained the weight back, lost all the benefits pretty fast. That spiraled into going back to a SAD diet. And here i am back at keto watching this guy for the past 3 weeks and already feeling amazing. I got back into ketosis rather fast about 48 hours. But pretty sure it’s because my body still remembers how to utilize that fat for energy from when i previously did keto.
Take it from someone who made mistake after mistake on keto the first time. Cheated tons, still ate carbs and would have to jump back on once a week so basically only keto 3-6 days a week. IT WORKS even if you make everyyy mistake and just keep going it still works. I looked and felt amazing. I already feel amazing this time, this time I think I’m more motivated because I really don’t have the urge to splurge and cheat, and when i do it’s not satisfying at all. I’ve been cancer free for 3 years now. And I have heard many stories through Instagram about how people have reversed and healed completely their cancer using keto or vegan keto or green keto, even dirty keto. It’s definitely not a for sure cure but i have seen so much success.
* not everyone can get back into ketosis as fast as me, both times i have been keto was while nursing 🧑🍼 my children which nursing and being pregnant can speed up the process (or at least i think it does) personally after a cheat meal i have seen myself get back into ketosis as little as 12 hours but again that’s while breastfeeding
TMI but one of my biggest issues was toxins and not sweating or 💩 enough. They wanted me in a sauna and going daily 🚽.. keto did that for me just running around like a crack head cleaning left me sweaty and I definitely flushes plenty of toxins. Again compare that to vegan and I wasn’t flushing 😉 often and already stopped sweating as much. It’s not until you get a cancer diagnosis that you truly appreciate sweating.
Are you on keto permanently? Or do you sometimes eat more carbs? Do you ever cheat and binge on carbs?
My mom who is age 77, stopped sugar intake. Her memory is improving and so is mine.
No fruit?
@@j.r.henderson9371 Berries! 🍓🍋
@@j.r.henderson9371 on keto you can really only have raspberries, blueberries and strawberries.
And lemons
Your memory is improving because your mom stopped her sugar intake? I’ve heard many unbelievable claims about KETO but this maybe the best.
Dude! What happened to the “How To Keto” video you had up? It was 45 minutes long, and my go to video to show people about the diet. Can I still find it somewhere?

I really like that Thomas kept his mistakes in the video. Eg he accidentally said 'Taunt' instead of 'Flaunt', and corrected himself, - the youtube channels that edit all the mistakes, and especially edit the pauses out are too much. This guy is chill. A pleasure to watch.
Love your videos.. I’ve been on keto for 14 months and I’ve reversed my diabetes. I’m so happy. And lost 50 lbs and been maintaining it now..
It's been two years now since this man , Dr Barry and Dr Berg helped change my life for the better I'm a person born with a heart condition who lost 106ibs and I've been my high school weight of 167ibs ever since also my sister has epilepsy and it has helped her stay seizure free now for over a year.
You need to talk more about this, more people need to know.
You are my inspiration, Thomas! I want to help people like you do. Thank you for your time, energy, wisdom, and generosity. You're amazing.
honestly man your one of the best out there, I appreciate your information so much
Thomas, I'm a RN, MSN so I appreciate you using research to increase knowledge for positive decision making. You are not being prescriptive but taking the approach that knowledge is power. OK You are a "Power Enhancer"!
So im guessing all the HyperKeto stuff in the coments is a paid bot advertising thing. Most of the accounts were created recently and all comments posted 22hrs ago. So just watch that.
Great video tho Thomas
It's so annoying! those and Ogoge diet or whatever comments 🤣
Hey Thomas, big fan in your opinion which is better to consume beef or lambs liver? N is ok to grind up and mix it with mince meat to make burgers?
Please can butcher box give canadians a discount as well. The code doesn't work for Canada please if possible. Thank you
Thomas - have a sweet tooth! What sweet treats (preferably containing chocolate) could a person have on the keto diet?
Keto chow has been a godsend for me
Hello, I am one of the thousands of people participating in the one month Keto challenge... I know you more than likely wont see this... but one the off chance that you do... it would be AMAZING if in your next update video for the challenge you could address how it is okay to fail, as long as you don't give up... and maybe address all of the negative comments and post on the Facebook page... there are people on the page who are making this challenge less like a community exercise in supporting each other, and more like a competition about who can make everyone else feel like the biggest loser (and not in terms of weight or inches). The Facebook page was a novel idea, but without anyone monitoring it... alot of people aren't getting the support they are looking for, or need.
Most of the post on the Facebook page our guys and obviously they're going to lose more weight in a faster mile time because they have more muscle that's just the way it is and my guess is they're probably trolling for chicks just my personal opinion LOL
I agree to ignore the trolls on Facebook and stick with THOMAS.
I'm doing the month challenge to and I have never seen the Facebook page. Just focus on you and your goals and I find that the comments on RUclips are mostly positive and helpful.
Cecelia I'm on the challenge too. Though am on fb didn't go to the challenge timeline there. I have my own struggles & really don't want to deal with naysayers. I appreciate support, that's what I'm here for. We all basically know what to eat. We get support through the ups and downs. I'm apparently very slow at losing. I think my body was already used to intermittent fasting so with keto losing lbs is like pulling teeth with plastic plyers. I'm older which is not the average age here as a 67 year old woman. And am not able to do the workouts others do. So it's easy to get discouraged. Thank you for sharing. Wishing you the best. Am hanging in here. Take care!
I don't tell what I'm doing on facebook. Many times friends (and strangers) try to sabotage our efforts out of jealousy or ignorance. I'm one of those who if I ever visit my page on facebook, I only post cute kittens and such.
Man this was solid Thomas! Now im going to have to share with all my friends😂😂👍 Seriously, fantastic science!!!!
Thank you for being here for keto contents. Been doing keto (on and off) for years and it's wonderful, your contents have been my one of my main references for the lifestyle, thank you
Started Keto Jan 2021 & lost 30lbs! Thanks for the great information!
Omg thank you for making this video, I really wanted to know a lot of details about the Ketogenic diet because I recently started it and still had many questions about how it works and what kind of meals I’m able to eat. Sending you good vibes man ✌🏼😎 ✨
It amazes me how the FDA is meant to give us this information, and we have to get it through RUclips...
Shared this with my Mom who at 83 was diagnosed with Parkinson’s-she started Keto a month ago-this is the best A-Z explanation I’ve seen-thank you TD!
I'm sorry to hear about your Mom's Parkinson's, but I have some great news for you. I just so happen to have researched this and know what causes it and how to reverse it. I feel like I'm your lucky lottery ticket LOL. If you think about it, what's the chances that out of millions of people, we meet on YT and I have the cure you need? I guess like they say, God has a reason for all things. Anyway, years ago when I was in college and had to do a Masters degree thesis paper, the professor said it could be a paper about anything we wanted. Since we have different family members who have had Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS, Lupus, and schizophrenia, I knew there had to be a link to all of these things, and decided to do some investigation into it. My Grandfather died from Parkinson's, my Uncle died from ALS, and I have a distant cousin who has schizophrenia. My Grandfather's sister was also diagnosed with Alzheimer's and a 3rd cousin has lupus. Anyway, after alot of research, I found out the link to all of these things and it's free copper. It's a genetic defect in the ATP7B gene which is a copper binding gene. When the copper from the food we eat is not adequately binded or bound to ceruloplasmin protein, it can't be evacuated out of the body through the bile duct, and gradually builds up. Most people with this defect live a relatively normal life, because their blood brain barrier (BBB) protects their brain, but when they get older, the BBB starts to deteriorate and the toxic buildup of free copper enters their brain, which causes Alzheimer's, Parkinson's etc. When people are affected by the free copper at a younger age, it's usually lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or schizophrenia. The toxic free copper is highly inflammatory and has the same effect as heavy metal poisoning. There's a new test called the direct measurement of free copper test and the test # is 279071 at the lab corp locations in the US. This is different than a normal serum copper test, this test will measure the amount of unbound or free copper contained in the serum copper. In all of these diseases and disorders, it has been shown that people have an elevated free copper. In fact almost 20 years ago 2 researchers applied with the FDA to treat these conditions with a copper lowering compound named ammonium tetrathiomolybdate. One of the researchers actually took Alzheimer's and Parkinson's patients and decoppered them with this compound, which reversed their conditions. The FDA sometimes takes decades to approve anything, and I'm sure big pharma had something to do with blocking this cure, because as you know, treating these conditions with drugs is a billion dollar industry. Anyway, I'll give you my email Erica, and you can contact me if you need more information. If you want, I can email papers to you that you can give to her doctor, which shows the tests she needs and how to lower her free copper. Since this is a genetic or hereditary thing, you should also have your free copper tested. Years ago I tested my free copper and it was super high. I have since lowered it to normal, long ago. Anyway, my email is natureman223 at g mail com. I had to spread it out and use at in place of the symbol, because YT has keyword software that blocks email sharing. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me. Take care Erica, and don't worry, your Mother's condition can be reversed. I can email you medical literature showing you how to lower her free copper with zinc therapy. Good luck and God Bless.
starting keto was very easy for me. We started Keto after being Vegan for 6 years... The main reason why we changed over was the health benefits. I had a heart attack at year 6 of a vegan diet, and I was able to cure my heart and vessels, and arteries changing over to the keto diet.

I've been dealing with digestive issues for years, and I've seen multiple practioners including a GI doctor, a functional medicine doctor and a gut health coach. I've gained what I think is important info but still I was not getting relief. I started keto in a effort to get to a normal so that I can start adding food items to see what exactly I am sensitive to. For the first time I am hopeful. That said, I think I might just stick with keto anyway for the health benefits, especially alzheimers prevention. I've eliminated vegetables for the moment since I appear to be sensitive, at least to some, and I need to figure out a multivitamin in the meantime. Thanks you for all your education and insight!
What veggies can you eat besides green leafy veggies can you also drink the coconut juice also and when eating chicken can it be fried or baked with skin on it and can you have mayonnaise ,how many meals a day and when should we stop eating after 6:00pm?
Hi Thomas , what do you think about doing keto if I Don’t have a gallbladder ?
I'm never too deep into the keto to watch a summary video. Good stuff.
I finally feel like I know what I’m doing on Keto with your 30 day challenge! Feel amazing, thank you for laying it all out
You forgot rutabaga, everyone seems to ignore it but it’s an amazing potato substitute especially for stews.
I've gone from being totally intimidated by keto, to feeling informed and a little more educated. Really excited to get going. Thank you for your help and education.
I'm new to keto. I do agree that he's very informative. I would love to know your progress in the last 10 months?
Keto is a lifestyle❣️ The only diet I have ever lost weight & kept it off. I was borderline diabetic before starting Keto; now my numbers are perfect...ALL my numbers!!
My Doctor is amazed, everyone that knows me is amazed at my physical transformation & most importantly I feel GREAT!! Intermittent fasting has made it so I didn’t wrinkle up, nor do I have loose skin & I’m up there in the years. Even my family says if they didn’t know my age they would not believe it. I totally recommend Keto & IF to everyone who wants a high quality lifestyle.💖
Did your doctor believe that you did this with keto. Did he try to tell you it was going to ruin your heart. I'm actually afraid to tell a doctor that I'm doing this.

For anyone just getting into this, I just have to say that the benefits of this way of life is astounding. Even just a month is transformative. But the benefits don't stop there... you will very quickly realize that it's SO important that you think for yourself instead of blindly following what others tell you. Sure, investigate, but make educated decisions. Keto is like a gateway drug to new critical thinking.
The hardest addaptation with this diet for me at least was a social one . Family aint doing it and wifey and the boys aint also so gotta be wise about it . Lost 36 pound in 5 month for me realy took my time into it and enjoying it . Now im stuck in a plateau tho but feels good still wish i could break it
Very common in KETO, you lose weight for the first few months and then it seems to just shut off. Tons of info on the internet on this along with scientific studies.
Hi thomas i wanted to ask you if you could make a video about cheat meal. See I ussually cheat on sundays and not just a high carb meal, but also sweet stuff like coockies cakes etc. I've been in keto for 5 months and I've noticed that if I cheat on Sundays, and then do a 21-22 hour fast (on Monday), I easily go back into keto again. So it would be great if you do a video explaining a little bit about your cheat day and if doing this has a lot of negative repercussion on the fat adaptation. Thank you very much

Lost my dad too from cancer! :(
Gotta say, this is one of my favorite videos because it touches on the subject of Diabetes Type 2 which is a growing problem in modern America and the world due to our bad diets and poor nutrition education from our doctors and food/pharmaceutical industry. Really powerful information, and I am sure it will motivate many people that are borderline diabetic to embrace this powerful lifestyle and reduce their A1C to prevent from becoming Diabetic. Love your content! Please keep making videos on new research and information regarding this important topic!!!! Keep on Rocking the health world Thomas!!

Buy fish oil, sardines, salmon
What about a Keto/IF fasting guide for night shift workers?
Stacey I eat 2 meals a day, 1st meal is dinner with my family at 6pm and I cook my food for my last meal during my shift at 2am. I get off at 6am and fast until the next dinner. That is a 12 hour fast. For dinner I eat a smaller portion but before I leave work I make my green tea matcha , mct oil and heavy cream a packet of stevia for all the energy throughout my shift. Then my last meal is majority of my food.
Mark Castro wish I can do a 24 hour fast, I’m still dependent on my day and evening meds(food required). But once I start taking some of them off the list. I lost 40lbs already been on keto 3-4 months now and diabetes below the reference for a1c
Great question, I am a shift worker also
What I really like is you don’t use foul language while your teaching ..refreshing!
I was 220 and diabetic when I decided to try keto.
I'm at 180 now, Dr says I'm no longer diabetic (a1c 5.1) but I'm looking forward to my break to see if I'm still not diabetic when I'm getting more carbs.
You have simplified this so much. I had started for the second time at 163 lbs and now 140 lbs. Just for a few months on this diet. I watched the fasting videos and learned to break a fast with bone broth. I usually just eat all if not most of my cals/macros in one sitting lol. Is this bad?
You are so awesome keep doing what you are doing.. you were great motivation to me when I first started keto almost 4 yrs ago
I'm an example of diabetes reversal. I am now off all insulin and no longer take metformin. My doctor had me take th A1c test. When I came to see him about my results he said, "Well, your not diabetic." My A1c was at 4.8. Before my tests results were at 8 or above.
In June I contracted COVID-19 and spent over a week in the hospital with blood sugar levels nearing 400 points due to the continuous carb diet they were feeding me. It took me four months to get off the oxygen. I was at least 300 lbs and by the time I was off of oxygen in late Oct 21 I had only lost 6 lbs. Today is Dec 3 and I have been eating keto for the past 5 or 6 weeks and now I weigh 263 and my blood sugars are right around 100 points or lower on any given test. Thank you for sharing this information it has changed my life.

Mr. Thomas, I’m into Day 11 of KETO (thanks to you!) I’m 62 years old. I’m having a VERY difficult time meeting my Macros daily! The satiation is extreme for me. I feel full! I do 18 hour fasts almost daily. I have black coffee with Exongenous Ketones and Butter every morning and am not hungry until early afternoon. I am not getting all my fat in :-/ and most days I’m not getting my protein in either. My Macro Carbs are 20 but most days I’m getting only 9-12. So overall I’m not getting my macros in! HELP! I don’t want to lose muscle at my age!! I’m getting most of my gallon of water in! I take Vitamin supplements and I really don’t snack often. Maybe cashews or macadamia nuts and rarely a mozzarella cheese with salami snack. Any teaching you can give me will really help! I’m loving the KETO diet! I’ve lost 9 lbs so far but thankfully I’ve lost more inflammation and inches which is my goal! Thank you

Why would people say keto lifestyle is not sustainable?
sugar is a big enemy, like drugs for some people. People do not want to change their lifestyle.
They don't know how to cook and don't know how much variety keto actually has.
They also think of the cholesterol and are afraid their bp is gonna be affected having this diet for a long period of time.

As a point, I have reversed my own diabetes, and my heart failure is healing, too. I didn't think either was possible, but my doctors swear that it's not that unusual, when someone takes control of their own health!
1:20 从 amazing 2 minutes rhetoric about the mythical 4th macronutrient ... Color me wow 😲😳😲 I didn't think such an old video of yours could impress me so much. You're a god so much!
Awesome...thank you for your videos. Has helped me so much!
Thank you so much for your channel!! I have tried Keto 2 years ago and didn’t do too well. I ate too much fat, too many carbs and I was so confused. I began researching dieting on AARP and they referred their readers to a movie “The Magic Pill”. What an eye opening documentary on health and wellness. Both my parents had dementia, both diabetics. The information I had two years ago obviously wasn’t very helpful and I have been researching on line to educate myself more so I can be successful this go around. In my research I came across your channel. I started Monday 7/19. The first day I didn’t document what I ate until that night, I was just going to see if I could get into the rhythm of not eating carbs first. I realized I did pretty good. I followed your meal plan on one of your videos and I came in right on with my carbs! I was a little low on my fats and struggled to find something I could have to get me there. I was excited. I realize I can’t follow those meal plans everyday and I continued to watch my carbs the next day and focus on that as you suggested. It worked I was under in protein and fat but under on carbs. Today I watched a few more of your videos (thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!) So now I realize I don’t have to be afraid of eating more protein. You have explained this lifestyle so well! It can be very confusing and overwhelming as it was for me two years ago but now I feel confident, especially from your videos, that I can succeed and make this a healthy lifestyle for myself. Thank you a million times over and I look forward to watching all your videos!!
Listen to Thomas, He will change your life 😁
No bell peppers on Keto?
Thomas, can you explain exactly how much protein and fat i should eat when bodybuilding and following the keto diet. I find it confusing that everyone says something else. And you said multiple times that you shouldn’t really worry about a high protein intake.
I am 1,88m and weigh 87 kilos about 11% bf right now. I eat about 2800 kcals a day.
The literature says 0.8 to 2 grams per gram of lean mass. Above does not give better nor faster results.
Yes I understand. But more with a keto perspective, doesn’t too much protein cause gluceogenesis?
@@GoooooooogIe The contribution of proteins is so insignificant you don't even have to bother. So take your proteins, and fill the remaining with fat and carbs😉
@@GoooooooogIe Gluconeogenesis only occurs when the body needs it to. If the brain, or other cells/organs/parts of the body needs glucose only then will gluconeogenesis take place. I believe Thomas has mentioned this in a few videos.
How low is low carbs in keto diet?
Will you be address whether high fat diet is good for the heart etc
Random... but are their any good keto cookbooks that you recommend?
Dunno about books but there are some great keto versions of common recipies. I just made mashed cauliflower with butter, salt, pepper, and oregano

I find them on RUclips all the time. Sometimes I just want a good book to pull of the shelf and use while cooking instead of searching the web. Thanks for the ideas guys!
@Thomas Im in a wheelchair , really struggling to make my race competition weight so I would be interested to know how you think Keto would work for athletes ? my sport has a big demand on the anaerobic system so im thinking could I use the Keto to reach my desired race weight ( I carry a lot of fat around abdominal area ) and then introduce carbs slowly , could I stay on Keto or is there another method you think will work? any advice would be much appreciated. with the current situation my competitions have been cancelled im thinking now is a good time to get things on the right path
Who would put thumbs down to someone giving away the best free info and time!! Jerks
