My son is on very strict Keto. In January, he weighed over 400 lbs, now he at 270!!! I wish I had his determination!!!
Doesn't he inspire you? You can join him, and grow close in the process. He wants to share this transformation with you I would imagine....
Wow that's fantastic!
Do it in layers. Not everyone can do a 180 overnight
In my experience the determination, decision and planning is needed in the first couple of weeks, after that the progress, and how good you feel makes it not so difficult to stay determined. You just have to decide that you matter.
Wait he lost 230 pounds in a month ? Thats not even safe lol i would believe it for a 8 month transformation but thats just totally not possible
I'm sitting in my patrol car watching this video while eating a ribeye...........
That sounds Epic!
Been there done that
Why not a donut? 😉
@@davidd7940 sugar is bad for humans
Good Cop! No donut!
I lost 7lbs the first week on Keto and it's been stuck there for a month. I didn't let the scale readings discourage me because other health factors were more important. Even though the scales didn't move, I lost 5" of belly fat (Woohoo!!!Goodbye, Muffin Top!). Better yet, 12+ years of Fibromyalgia completely disappeared. My headaches/migraines have improved both in frequency and intensity. The burning, tingling sensation in my feet is gone! Other symptoms like armpit odor and itchy, runny earwax have stopped. Facial puffiness and finger swelling are gone. For the record, I started Keto just to lose a few stubborn pounds. I never dreamed I could be unshackled from constant pain (that I learned to accept and adjusted my life accordingly). My energy levels are incredible! I now walk 3mi/day, rain or shine, and play hard tennis 3-4 times/week, weather permitting. I'm 60yo but I feel decades younger. I don't give a sh*t what the scales say. I care about the quality of life I'm able to live under Keto. I don't care if I don't lose another ounce as long as I can live pain-free and have the mental and physical energy to enjoy it. I started Keto to lose a few pounds, but I ended up getting my life back!
Congratulations! The reduction in joint pain is worth giving up carbs.
@@jossfangirl Totally agree!
Wow! I wrote that a couple of years ago! I've gone from Keto to Ketovore to Carnivore since and still doing great! I feel better in my 60's than I did in my 20's! I've run two Half Marathons (and I'm not a runner) and completed a 23-mile bike trip myself (no E-bike, just an old '90s Trek bike). My body has healed so much and my family can't keep up with me. 😆 I got my life back and I'll never return to the SAD diet!
@@cmorrison5466 It's nice to hear you are still doing well!! Which foods did you eliminate from your diet and what are you eating to stay "healthy" on your Carnivore diet? Do you know what caused your Fibro, and are the pins and needles and burning pain you described gone? Were you ever told the symptoms you had in your feet and legs were neuropathic pain? Ty
I wish I could share this particular comment with my best friend who lost 7 lbs first week and got stuck. I think she'd be thrilled with losing 5" around her belly. I don't want her to give up.
Remember that 1) sometimes we reach a plateau for a little bit while our metabolism adjusts then we get the next level of weight loss, and so on.
2) muscle weighs more than fat, so this also has an impact on the scales.
When we are more focused on how we feel physically, how our clothes are fitting, and our strength than on the scales alone, we can be encouraged that we are doing well. ❤
Ketovore here! Keeping it simple is the best way! My food list: any meat, any fish, eggs, butter, little dairy, avocado, salt. On special occasions(about 4/5 times a year) if I feel like dessert I choose strawberrys with heavy cream and a little melted 80% dark chocolate. That's it, I know if I start eating other stuff, the cravings and addiction will come back and I definitely don't want that! I'm happy and my food is delicious!
Absolutely. Keep it simple.
I just took screenshot of this!
@@msjannd4 Good for you, hope it helps. 😊💕
@@msjannd4 lol me too! 😂😂
Do you eat vegetables? @Ana Tavares
My Mother was told by her doctor that Keto doesn't work because it's not sustainable... I told my Mother to find another doctor.
Best possible advice.
That's what my doc said but, he said; try it, but it really is about calories in calories out.
I had that discussion with a relative of mine this past weekend. She swears that keto is not sustainable. I tried to discuss with her ways that it was definitely sustainable but I didn't get anywhere.
@@nogames8982 Can't save them all.
@@nogames8982 People are entrenched in their thinking.
Everybody I know who failed with keto got all excited about their "keto" recipes for keto cupcakes, keto pizza, and all kinds of "keto" garbage instead of eating whole foods like steak and eggs.
Yes, often my experience too.
Nailed it. Meat, cruciferous vegetables, eggs. That's it.
I find that Pinterest is overwhelmed with junk keto. I tell myself, ‘Keto Junk Food’ is still Junk Food. Too easy for anybody to call something keto. Let the reader (and true ‘ketonian’ beware... trust, but verify)
Bariatric Advantage vitamins are supposed to be highly regarded. Dosage is 2 vitamins per day. 5 grams of sugar! That’s 4 pounds of sugar a year!
Yep. Many people take the opportunity to eat crap.
Been keto since August of 2019- with pretty good success...what I found, in the beginning, was that too much information made it harder..too many recipes trying to “keto” non keto foods..I started down that path, and found that making KETO Mac and cheese, and other elaborate recipes was a ridiculous amount of work, with very little reward..I keep it simple - meat, fat and a low carb vegetable...I used a lot of cabbage in the beginning to make up “bulk” while I adjusted to eating Keto..Also, leaning into fresh herbs and using a heavy hand with seasoning keep my meals delicious and satisfying.. I will make the occasional treat- but stick to simple foods most of the time .
Down 70lbs, off all pain and allergy meds...I am a 56 year old mother of six..
I am a 60 year old mother if two 20 something's and your story has inspired me. Thanks!
yes - too many "food dupes"....If I cant eat a real potatoe - why do I want to convince my brain that I am eating one??????
Same here. Simplicity is the answer.
Good for you. I think we all over analyze KETO initially. And in our subconscious attempts to hold onto tasty bad habits, we tend to buy the hype of prepared, packaged so-called KETO friendly food. I fell for the KETO friendly bread and chocolate nonsense at first.
But like you stated, keep it basic and simple.
Congratulations, I am starting carnivore and plan to keep it simple, just received my first Butcher Box order and fresh eggs are out my back door. I have no weight issues at 64, I am tired and loosing strength, and have brain fog from being a vegetarian, since surgery. If something else is happening I am nipping it in the butt.
I went on a very limited Keto lifestyle mid-February 2022 at age 56 to get my health back. I reversed my T2Diabetes in 6 weeks! I ate only real food, prioritized protein and healthy fats and very low carb. Since then I'm down 25 lbs and feel better than I have in decades. I'm mostly carnivore at this point and just focused on getting healthier and am starting weight training. Because I kept it simple and didn't eat any 'keto' snacks or 'keto' substitute recipes (skip the comfort food replacements and enjoy a big ribeye, seriously), I also ditched the processed foods and added in Intermittent Fasting I didn't have hunger cravings. Before I ate small meals and snacks ALL day and was hungry constantly. On keto done right I was never hungry. It was unbelievable! Last year I was on 5 meds and right now I'm on 1 and believe as I get metabolically healthy I will come off that one too. People I don't even know at the warehouse I work in have been stopping me and asking me what I'm doing and I am telling them! Do the mental work and then the physical work to change will come easier. I did this to save my own life (lost both parents and most recently a brother, two of them to complications of diabetes and the other to cancer). I also wanted the years ahead to be a better quality. You can do this just make the decision, and take action. I tell everyone now that 'Type 2 Diabetes isn't in your genes, it's in your pantry!"
Thank you, I enjoy watching creative recipe ideas, I am starting full Carnivore and agree with you, keep it simple. I am 64, no prescriptions, have not bounced back from tumor surgery. Brain fog has to go, not sleeping well, tired and want my muscle tone and strength back. This is simple and uncomplicated I don’t have cravings or weight issues, fresh eggs outback. Avocados are my favorite fruit blessed to live in Florida.
Are you full on carnivore now or do you still eat low carb veggies? I still enjoy cauliflower and mixed greens, but am curious about other people.
@@allengaible6436 most days I am carnivore but occasionally have broccoli and cauliflower.
@@allengaible6436 I am the same, with greens, and some cruciferous veg in addition to the proteins. Also, I have yogurt with berries. Am 65, and have been doing this for 18 months.
Wow! Tears of joy for you!!!! Congratulations!! Keep going and share this health secret👍🏼❤️👍🏼❤️👍🏼❤️👍🏼
I really like my Ketones of the Endogenous type. I had lost 160 lbs. I put 60 back on (Started eating chips and bread again) but I am back on the Keto train, and I have lost 31 of it again. Also today is day 28 without a cigarette ( and I didn't start vaping either)
Good for you! Kudos!
That's quite an accomplishment to quit the cigs while losing weight. You can do it!

I’ve been doing keto now for a year I’ve lost 42 pounds and it’s still dropping. My wife thinks I’m going to keel over from eating so many eggs in the morning but the truth is I’ve never felt better
My wife thinks the same.
4 to 5 pastured eggs everyday and sardines or cod liver
How do I lose that much weight?!
Took me 21 days to completely break the carb addiction. My Dr told me about the “keto flu” and said it’s a sign of doing something right. Stick with it, it’s life changing.
Yes, keto flu would be better named carbo flu, because of the withdraw symptoms. Electrolytes generally is the cure.
Keep your doctor, it's a good one.
14 days in still feeling so weak and fatigue.
@@tommysmoothsiconolfi9401 what about an update? Did you crash out? I got sloppy about counting carbs and lost it. About to start again. Apple cider vinegar before meals was a good addition. Dr Berg's lemon in the blender w/ 8 oz water helped reduce fatty liver. Keep going - I am starting again! Adding exercise now, a little more each day. Good luck = hard work!
@@steveruby1530 I actually lost too much weight. Was doing it for energy and high blood pressure not for weight loss. I added red potatoes and some wild rice now for more calories to add more weigh back.
You are absolutely right. Whenever hunting or doing jobs on sunny hot days I used to always get horribly fatigue no mater how much water I drank. Finally, one day I was helping my father out with something on a hot day pouring concrete when this happened to me again and he said, "Hold on one moment". He went into the kitchen and got some iodized table salt and gave me a pinch in the palm of my hand to eat and suddenly I was fine. I needed no more water and I finished the job without a sweat on a hundred degree day. It was like magic.
Get an electrolyte powder and use it in your water bottles.
We need to replace sodium, potassium and magnesium when we are sweating.
I'm a hiker and a gardener - it makes a huge difference. 😊
I did low carb over a decade ago and began at 273lbs with a goal weight of 150-160lbs. So wanted to lose at least 113lbs!
I should add that I was 48 years old and wanted to get to goal by the time I was 50. Well, the weight came off pretty steady until I lost about 50lbs, then things slowed WAY down. But I was confident in low carb and felt I was doing everything correct; I even kept close track and made sure I wasn't getting "carb creep". Really loved never feeling hungry and found I would miss a meal without knowing it until later. After about a year of low carb I finally broke 200lbs and hit 199lbs! I was thrilled. I had lost 73lbs and felt I could do this thing that looked impossible when I began. I mean, I needed to lose almost a whole person to get to my goal weight.
Well, I slowly gained back 10lbs, then 20lbs, then 30lbs before it stopped. I never stopped doing low carb and was double and triple checking every molecule that passed my lips. I kept doing low carb, but was now stalled at 230lbs. Things stayed that way for well over a year and I slowly started slipping, doing the easy thing and eating more and more carbs. I was now 50 and was at least 60lbs from my goal weight and so just gave up.
I'm now 60 and have gained back everything I lost before and another 10lbs, so tipping the scale at 280lbs. Here we go again. This time, I'm doing more keto, with mostly eggs, meat, butter and not worrying about getting a salad every day like before. I'm also doing intermittent fasting, something I didn't do the last time. I now only eat one or two meals a day and I manage to get at least 16 hours between my last meal of the day and my cup of coffee with hwc in the morning.
I've lost almost 30lbs so far, but still have a very long way to go and KNOW I will probably stall again when I get close to or hit 200lbs. I'm also working with my doctor, who has checked all my hormone levels, just waiting for the results of those tests and then will see what we do with that moving forward.
In the meantime, I've only ever been on high blood pressure meds and hope to get off that as my weight goes down and my activity level goes up. Thankful I never had diabetes or even come close to that and my triglycerides are good, but now on low carb/keto, they get even better. My doctor is supportive, so will stick with it this time no matter what happens.
Wish me luck!
So awesome! How are you doing now?
Sounds great!! Celebrate you non-scale victories! Keep watching Dr berry and Dr Boz videos for knowledge and community. Maybe find or start a support group in keto. I’m so happy for you. There is nothing but sadness in standard American diet. Lots of meals makes lots of disease. Keto is best. ❤👍🏼
Good luck! You can do it, be calm and healthy 😀
Go go go❤
Go back and look at Dr Berry's 1st videos, then tell me keto\carnivore doesn't work! He looks a legit 10 years younger in 2020 than he did in 2017!!
Dr. Boz, too. She looks like a different person after 3 years keto
I was just thinking that. He looks so good and younger too.
I noticed same about Dr Eric Berg too. The skin smoothness too
I too have noticed this on several prominent Keto people. Amazing..

I always appreciate someone doing this. Thanks!
For me personally, it was STRESS. I had undiagnosed depression and anxiety, and the stress in my life from covid and everything else happening in the world just caused my body to completely stall for months. I was so mad that keto wasn't working. I did end up throwing in the towel, but after therapy and proper medication, the stress stopped and I got back in to keto the week of Halloween, and FINALLY my body started to respond the way it used to. I'm now down 30lbs and I have 60 more to go. :D
yep, people don't understand how much of an impact that stress, depression, anxiety and other has on a persons health.
Yes. Stress did me in. I'm trying to muster my strength to start over. And that cortisol will hold on to fat.
Wow! That's great! 👏👏👏🎉
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I had a similar experience and even got my doc to check cortisol levels. Nothing was wrong, it was literally stress. I made a commitment to stop working 50 hours a week. Mental health matters. I lost 10lbs in the first 2 weeks of quitting my job. Kudos to you and getting healthy. Less stress, anxiety and depression is key.
Keto + intermittent fasting (18-6) worked for me. Over a year, I've lost 82lbs. Off my BP meds, my cholesterol went from high to low-end, A1C went from 8.4 to 5.5 WITHOUT meds....all in 12 months! I feel awesome. I generally keep my carbs to 50g - ish per day. I'm not a nazi about it. I even drink 1 Michelob Ultra or Sleeman Clear per day at dinner. Worked like a charm for me. Exercise 30 minutes 3-5 times per week also. This is my "new normal".
@Vagabond I think going up to 50g and not being nuts about it has allowed me to stay on target for 12 months. But that's just me and my body. Worked just fine for me.
Keto plus IF worked for me also. Lost 60 pounds in 10 weeks. A1C went from 11.1 to 5.4, blood pressure back to normal. Kept that weight off for 2 years while losing 16 additional pounds.
Hi dr berry . I’m proudly letting you know in 4.5 months I’ve lost 64 lbs and my A1C went from 13.3-5.8 my triglycerides have fallen to 74 I’m feeling amazing. I honestly could not thank you and your wife enough for the videos and knowledge and most of all the KETO diet!!!!🙏🏻
Congratulations, great progress and action saving your own life.
I was 350 lbs when i found your channel. After 2 weeks on your concept of KETO used in conjunction with intermittent fasting i am finding myself on the easiest healthiest lifestyle change ive ever made. Ive already lost 15 lbs and im on my way to a smaller me. Thank you to you and your sweet wife!
I was 340 lbs and in terrible health. Keto saved my life, and put life back into living. Stick with it, and you will feel so much better!
367# to 295# from November 2020 til May 2021, down from a 46" waist to a 40" waist, from a 4x shirt to a 1x-2x. I love this! Edit* update, down to 278# as of this morning, still feeling great, I have quit trying to keep up with waist size drops, as my new work pants are now falling off without a belt, just keep adding holes to the belt for now, lol. Belt shows 7" or 8" smaller waist
I did Keto for about 2 years and it was great, or a great start I should say. I have made the move to full Carnivore now and that really is the proper human diet. Keto helped me lose probably 70 pounds or so, but Carnivore helps will so much more than weight. Plants are so full of toxins and I was still eating a ton of that crap on keto. Since going Carnivore I have gotten rid of the inflammation that the vegetables bring with them. I used to get near crippling arthritis in my knees and elbows. That actually got worse on keto as I was eating a ton of leafy greens which are loaded with Oxalates. Since going Carnivore right before Thanksgiving last year, I have now got rid of the arthritis completely. I expect I will be a Carnivore for life.
Dr. Eric Weston tells the story about one of his patients that complained he wasn't losing. While he was talking, Dr. Weston says he could hear the guy rustling something in his pocket. It was a box of Tic Tacs that he was eating throughout the day.
Today I ate: pork belly, bone marrow, ribeye, egg yolks and beef liver. Ketones 4.6. Blood glucose 3.6. Keto works when you eat the right foods 🥩
My mother in law quit keto because she started to have constipation after 6 months on keto. And because no doctor will advise keto for health improvement in my country

I’m financially challenged lately so I have been eating more ground beef from Safeway instead of my usual grocer who has good local beef (which is pricey)...... I’ve begun to notice higher blood sugar readings, especially in the morning..... so.... I’m beginning to suspect the cheaper ground beef is having additives or fillers. Wheat? Corn? Soy?....... I’ve been totally carnivore for almost a year now and usually omad. My d2 disappeared a month after carnivore, and I gave up sugar in the 70’s...... I m very suspicious . Also I am 79. No problem losing weight (65 lbs.and still losing )
On Keto I was so constipated no matter what I did. I found out I needed to take Probiotics with it and now I have regular bowel movements to my surprise. I don't know if anyone else had this problem so I thought I would share. So I am going back on Keto because I have eczema and I want to be healed completly from this torture. Thank you for listening to my story. I welcome any comments on anyone who has healed themselves from this.
Annie7 Ancalade after two months on carnivore I had the same issue. I had to get off of it. Eating only meat and fat did not work for me because my gallbladder is not functioning properly. I finally got my GI system working without the help of fiber or daily laxatives a few weeks after I started using TUDCA and ox bile. For years I struggled with constipation (apparently) due to insufficient bile because my gallbladder was not working. Who knew? Certainly not my doctor who was never able to help me. Thanks to all the helpful doctors and regular people on RUclips who helped me finally find a solution.
Please tell me what is your probiotic regimen. Thanks. | Gary in SC 🇺🇸
Heard several testimonials of eczema cured from carnivore diet.
Constipation: Magnesium daily plus vita c! Lits of water. Boom
You just need more fat. Add butter or bacon grease to your meats and you will have easy stools. If it gets too loose, cut back on fats a little. But remember, fats are your fuel. You need more fat than protein.
@@doowopbabyt I do not have a gall bladder. I eat two small meals a day during a 5 hour window and so I am also doing intermittent fasting and it is working well. Your liver will increase the secretion of bile as you lower all those carbs and eat a proper human diet that nourishes you.
#1 reason it didn’t work for me at first was I wasn’t eating enough fat. Wrapping my head around needing to eat 65-70% of my calories from fat was the key. Down to 180lbs from 250. Took 2 years to lose 20 lbs, and 8 months to lose the other 50 since eating whole food, high fat.
Many people are terrified of eating much fat. For forty years or more we’ve been told how dangerous fat is...
What are the fat sources that you eat besides avocado and butter? I’m new to learning Keto and want to try it but I don’t know what people mean when they say they eat fat. Thank you!
@@kimberlyritter3924 olive oil, lard, not taking the skin off chicken or trimming the fat off steaks. Actually eating eggs instead of egg whites. You know, all the stuff they told us would make us fat 20+ years ago, before we all actually got fat. Cuz low fat doesn’t actually help most people.
@@BeccaTheBoringwould coconut oil work?
@@tracycrider7778 depends on your system. Coconut oil gives my tummy trouble, but if you can tolerate it well, sure. I tend towards butter and olive oil.. Topping meat with good pesto adds flavor and fat without bumping carbs up.
Other reasons not losing: not enough quality sleep, exercising too much, eating too late at nite, additives to hot beverages that sneak in carbs, too much stress, and medications (like Gabapentin)
@Dave B sounds like you have dodged chronic illness, so good for you. Some of us have lots of challenges, and not all of which are anything short of bad luck, like lupus, spinal deformations, etc. So congrats!
Yes these are great! Also, like he's mentioned before, the variety of 'hidden' sugars/sweeteners in spice mixes, sauces, and dressings! There are some medications that make people gain weight but I think once you are really really efficiently doing keto and are fat-adapted, even that side effect can be minimized.
All the above for me.
Since covid-19 i can't exercise like before I got all the symptoms in March. But I also never thought I 3xercisd I actually lost my belly the more I exercised but do abb workout wiyh csrdio us very effective fir the abbs

This is perfect. Pretty much all of these, (minus the purchasing ketones cause that’s a scam) has stalled my weight loss. I changed it up, stopped eating the “keto snacks” or at least scale them down. I started keto at the age of 53, so I’m 21 months keto. Down 109 lbs. 🙌🏼 Best wishes in life and health everyone.

Wow, that’s awesome! Wonderful testimonial which will help those who are waiting for the weight loss to start. Thank you for sharing this.
Next week will be a year on keto. I’ve lost 159lbs and love this way of eating. Thanksgiving I had bread, pie, beer and gained 10 lbs. I didn’t enjoy it and couldn’t wait to get back to keto. I’ve just followed what Dr Berry said and it worked for me.
The deal I made with myself when I went on keto was that I would be in good enough shape to enjoy cornbread dressing at Thanksgiving. I was in good enough shape to have the dressing but by then there’s no way I would’ve put that unhealthy GMO stuff in my mouth. Biggest problem was finding ham that didn’t have a lot of sugar in it..
For me emotional eating was a major roadblock. I had to learn to face my emotions and deal with them instead of turning to carbs to feel better. That sounds simple and obvious, but it’s very hard to do. Took me about 3 years of almost constant inner work to accept my emotions and deal with them in a healthy way that no longer involves carbs. Another roadblock for me was my motivation for doing keto. Weight loss has only been a temporary motivator for me, but my health improvements from being on keto are far more long term motivators.
Keto was just a beginner for me. I lost 15 lbs on keto. The other 35 lbs came off by going carnivore.
Do you sometimes add in arugula or broccoli or avocado, or get a craving for it?
Wow. So what do you generally eat day to day?
Practitioners of the carnivore diet do not eat their food raw. However, many cultures do have delicious raw meat dishes, kibbeh from the Middle East, sashimi from Japan, for example.
One of the biggest reason why keto doesn’t work for some people is, they don’t know what carbs are. When I tell them there’s tons of carbs in fruit they think I’m crazy. Number one step into the ketosis way, learn what a carbohydrate is and which foods they are in then avoid them.
My mother in law forgets ALL THE TIME about how rice is not keto. "You can eat this!"
Me "there's rice in it"
"Oh yeah, rice!"
🤭
I'm eating ketovore. I eat animals that eat bugs and grass.
@@brlyalve Or they say the sugar in fruit is healthy
So, my last dentist visit (in Austria) I asked how my teeth were. He said generally, great, very clean. I said, I hope so, I haven't been eating sugar for the last four months.
He then laughed and said, you don't realise about all the be hidden sugars in pasta, fruit, potatoes etc. I said, actually I do, which is why I don't consume them 😜.

@@cptpapa True, and people don’t realize that fructose is twice as addictive as refined sugar and that it is transposed into fat that goes directly to the liver, so imagine what drinking so called “fruit juice” does for them?
I'll be try to be brief. Taking your advice has made a significant improvement in my health. I've had a tough year.
Type 2 diabetes, stroke, hospitalization. 1000mg metformin 2 x day, jardiance, meal time insulin and night time insulin. I eliminated my oatmeal breakfast and all carbs and added healthy fats. In 48 hours I stopped all insulin injections because I was afraid I would go too low. My fasting BG was 3.7. My fasting BG is now 4.4 and I'm averaging 5.3. I thought keto would be hard to follow. It's not. It's simple. Just stop eating carbs. I've had 5 doctors this year. Not one said anything about carbs. Thank you KenBerryMD. You're doing a great service.
I'm new to keto, just getting started
ohh you are doing a good thing for your health, I'm 7 months into it and cant list the benefits I got from it, weight loss is just one thing, check Dr Berrys other vids if you allready havent, great stuff there that will help you out.
Best wishes and congratulations on the first step....to health :)
I’m pushing 70. Since taking up keto a year ago I’ve never felt better. Thanks to you and your keto colleagues on you tube. I’ve delved into the research and the reasoning behind it seems clear to me. Very difficult to convince others though. Some will just not listen.
Dr. Berg just put out a video about convincing others about Keto😊🌹
Oh yes... tell me about it, some people think I am crazy even my Dr and his nurse, I'm seeing another Dr who told me to keep on whatever I am doing because my blood pressure is normal also my glucose is normal and she adviced me not to use any medications because they have a lot of side effects ... Also I encouraged the nurse to do some research on the ketogentic diet.
Which research locations did you find most helpful?
It took me several attempts and then did a 72 hour fast which was able to flick the switch to fat burning.
I have to say Keto is AMAZING! I started watching your videos on July 15th of this year. I have lost 65lbs since. I will never go back to eating the way I did before!
No fuckin wayyy how the hell?!
No more who grains, rice, bread, sugar, corn, process foods, high carbs, and seed fats!! No snacks!!! I'm loosing weight slowing but happy with my hard work results.
I just found you a week or so ago. I've had Diabetes Type II for about 12 years. Just had a Dr's appt 12-3 to check my blood test results. A1C was 8.1. I told my Doc that I was starting Keto. I used to graze all day and snack after dinner. I no longer do that, and I'm sticking to the Keto diet. My BS dropped to 49 last night at 11pm. I had to eat something to get it back up. Today I called the Doctor and she took me off the Glimepiride altogether (with instructions to monitor my BS, and a plan for what to do.) Now am just on Metformin only, so we'll see how it goes. But am very impressed with Keto in combination with 2 meals a day and no snacking at all. Surprisingly I don't even really miss the snacks... Thanks Dr. Berry for helping us
I ate three meals a day ,strictly keto and lost 150 lb in less than 2 years ! Keto Rocks!
Congrats to you and your hard work.
Congratulations! Well done 👍🏻
Melvin Johnson did you have a stall? I‘ve lost 90 pounds in first 8 months but have now stalled for nearly 6 months. I‘ve had a bit of carb creep over time but I just don‘t understand why I just can‘t seem to lose the last 20-30 pounds...

@HOC I don't think "this million year ancestral crap" contradicts a creator, a Creator neither.
I came across your channel (particularly the extreme fat loss and belly fat loss videos) completely by accident - but for the first time in YEARS I feel some HOPE for my husband and I who have lost all motivation after so many dedicated "healthy" diets. Thank you! Tomorrow I am throwing every single thing out my cupboards and fridge and stocking up with meat, eggs and grass fed butter!
A hint if you use my favorite Kerry Gold, butter. I sometimes picked up the unsalted because that’s what I ate in the old days. However, now they have put the skim milk into the unsalted, which just ruins the whole idea.
I love pasta and found some linguini made from palm hearts - very low carb. Add some mushrooms, left over chicken and a cream sauce made with basil & cheese - Yummy! 75 gm serving of Palmini has 4 carbs.
I've known so many people that told me they tried the ketogenic diet and based on what they said I realized they didn't understand it at all. Most people don't have the restraint to stay away from carbs and sugar and come up with excuses as to why it didn't work.
This is the absolute truth.
Hi, i totally agree with you, but i also honestly think that it is a matter or ignorance, some people have no idea what carbs are or which foods contain carbs
I’ve seen RUclips people show a period of supposed keto eating... most cannot bring themselves to eat much fat. Abject terror of eating fat. Result: high-protein, low to moderate fat diet, not keto...
Humans are creatures of habit, especially when it comes to diet it's an evolved instinct to stick with the familiar
You helped me a lot Doc cause since November 19 I‘m off of my last diabetes drug, ty so much ❤️
Congrats!!👍👍
@@uaebifvideo5472 ty I‘m 1 year and 3 days Carnivore, I started with Keto at September 27 last year but by December 6 last year I transitioned to Carnivore by eating less and less veggies, berries and Keto baked goods, when I bake Keto goods then usually for my unsuspecting colleagues 😂 they think they get real flour buns or cookies or with sugar made chocolates but I use almond flour and coconut flour for the buns and cookies and I make chocolate macadamia nuts fat bombs disguised as chocolates to gift during Christmas season. I also ditched my boss‘s skim milk and got her 3.5 fat milk for her coffee. I‘m sneaky this way but I don‘t eat any of the goods I make but I do anything to get my colleagues a few healthy goods especially now with COVID. My whole team is in the high risk group and I as team leader has to look after them. My boss started IF a few weeks ago after she heard about my results but she did it wrong and then ask me last week if milk in her coffee breaks her fast. I looked her in the eyes and said yes and now she drinks black coffee. But I don‘t preach my lifestyle cause it is their decision as it is mine but I can be sneaky and add a pinch of salt into the coffee I cook for my boss, to gift fat bombs disguised as homemade chocolates and Keto Christmas cookies.
Wow, I love to hear about that kind of outcome! I'll bet you are feeling so much better!😄
@@SimiAcheronsDemon I too, think it's fun to make unsuspecting treats for friends & family! However, I realized that at some point they needed to know, because unlike them, we are in ketosis- so..our treats will eventually make them gain weight!😄🤭
@@skylarbix7912 they know I‘m Carnivore and use mostly good fats to make treats and that my baked goods have no grain flour but nut flours. They like to taste test what I bring and I usually bring only a small portion which I divide into 4 to 6 mini treats. And they know if they gift me with high sugar content chocolates they get them back sugar diluted and with an higher fat content. My whole unit is celebrating my goals with me and are happy with every step stone I reach. This way I‘m very open about what I do and what the baked goods are containing and all are looking forward when I celebrate my next big birthday which will have all kind of keto and carnivore finger food, keto cheesecake in a glass, one keto cheesecake vegan for my vegan and vegetarian colleagues, my chocolate fat bombs aka truffles Ferrero Roche style lol and maybe my chocolate high fat high protein mousse half frozen lol
I usually gift not more than 3 of those high fat chocolate truffles I make from the gifts I got and get right now during the holiday season.
The first time I failed because there are too many people and sites pushing every kind of "cheat" recipe to replace the carb treats that need to be cut out. I didn't learn to appreciate the taste of the new menu trying to copy the old
exactly ...im amazed at the folks who think "natural" sugar isnt really sugar.
"I cut out sugar, and now I use honey instead!" How many times have we heard that?
Great advice today, on my 75th birthday, carnivore strong! Thanks Doc!
Happy birthday!!!

Happy Birthday!
I ate keto for a year and lost 100lbs. I am now a ketovore, leaning more to the carnivore way of eating. Now Im up to 119lbs. lost, thanks to this way of eating. Ive had several plateaus, but keep going. Everything Dr. Berry is true. Dont give up, keep going!
After a year long stall, I was looking for other diet options. This video is just what I needed to hear. Thank you for all you do.
I stalled on keto but I went carnivore for 3 weeks and my belly fat is going away and I feel better than ever. You don't know the joy of going to the butcher and asking him for all the fat he has cut off pieces of meat👍. Thank you Dr. Berry and Nurse Neisha for the blessing you guys are. Love from El Paso Texas.
I’v been following you Dr. Berry and I’ve been on Keto for 4-1/2 weeks. I’m in a nursing home, I’m 75, and in bed all the time...Yuk! Great news, I’ve lost 15 lbs so far and still going. Keto works believe me! I’ll keep you informed. Thank you!
Good luck to you! Hope it gets better.
Good job! As an RN who would in administration in a NH I know it must be a challenge due to the types of food they serve. So kudos to you.
@@truthseeker713 Thank you! It took a long time to get things straightened out so I could follow Keto. But now I’m ankle to follow it quite well. My blood tests are also normal all the way around...b/4 they weren’t. I’m very happy with Keto especially cutting out Carbs/sugar, starches, grains!!! It’s surprising how good you feel when you don’t eat sugar!!!
I’ve been on the Keto way of eating for 23 days now. I do not feel deprived. I’m taking some Vitamin supplements C, D, K, and Zinc. I’ve lost 10 lbs. My skin is clear, my hair is shiny and looks much healthier. I don’t miss my glass or two or three of wine in the evening ( which I thought might be a problem, it’s not ), my focus is clear, my energy levels are increasing every day. I’ve another 14lbs to loose and hopefully I’ll achieve this by March 2021...
Dr Berry, I don’t believe I found your channel, I believe it found me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
This is completely true for me. People have to do their homework in order to truly follow a Ketogenic diet. Dr. Berry is excellent in telling "some" people what they need to know, even if they don't want to hear it. That's not just a doctor, that is a friend. I reversed, or put my T2 into remission when I just had a few months into Keto nutrition. I also had lost 30 lbs which luckily, that was all I needed to lose to be back to a normal, healthy weight. I'm 70 now, and I started out just walking after I got passed the initial withdrawals from sugar, very minor, but then went for walking to doing weight-training at my gym to help tone and build a bit of muscle 😁💕👍 Denise, I've never looked back!
I started keto 5 years ago and did it mainly plant based and a lot of slim fast keto products. I didn’t understand about carb intake either and it made me so sick to the point it killed my gallbladder and I had to have it removed. Doing carnivore now and feeling great!
thank you for this video Dr Berry, I've had people argue with me that things are keto if they are labeled keto. I just let them believe what they want. I've seen my results and feel GREAT!
Yes, the best we can do is to inform and perhaps plant a seed.
Never saw a cow with keto stamped on its butt, lol. But I have seen "keto" cupcakes. Yikes! Some people will never get it.
@@nancy9478 I do lchf keto and IF but no sugar, whole grains, rice, corn, process foods, high carbs, seed fats, and bread! I'm T2D so these spikes my blood glucose. I've learned to adjust to this new lifestyle of eating, never will return to the old ways bc it only promotes inflammations further.
I just started keto 3 weeks ago to heal my excruciating painful ibs attacks. Have not had any attacks in 2-1/2 weeks. No grains, no sugar. So sustainable and eating well. Finally able to think about living a normal life...if that’s possible during corona times. 😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for the tip to count carbs, not net carbs.
High carbs is sugar so I avoid it. I eat salt, animal fat not seed fats, avoid sugar, whole grains, process foods, corns, and bread. By avoiding these items weight loss made easy but little work can progress faster.
I found I needed more vegetable matter in my diet. It helped my digestive tract feel better for some reason. I stuck with the Lowest carb veggies.
Yes, so do I. I enjoy the 7-10 cups of vegetables each day. I am getting healthy thusly I am losing weight. If the weight lose is slowed down a bit because of vegetable carbs so be it. It took me years to get to an unhealthy metabolic state and it will take years to get through it. No matter. I feel great, have lost about 40 pounds and am a size 12 down from 18. (Most likely my goal is size 8). What amazes me is that I am enjoying the process which I have been doing since stay at home. I am in no hurry. 🌻🐱🌹💜🌎
You can eat veggies all you want. You just limit corn, peas, high carb veggies to 1 cup at meals
I am so thrilled to hear you talking about net carbs and total carbs. It drives me nuts when I see so many "Keto" cooking websites where people count net carbs. They have all kind of sweeteners and high fibre ingredients which I know for sure is going to raise my total carbs a huge amount. I watch viewers getting so excited because they think they can eat all kinds of chocolates and goodies while being on so called Keto diet. I really appreciate this video Dr Berry. For sure it will be shared by me as much as I can. Thank you.
Thank you for being you dr. Berry! I think I've absorbed most of your videos and I've written down my notes and emptied my refrigerator and pantry of any and all saboteurs for my keto Journey and I'm serious to lose 43.6 lb and I will do my best to reach that goal on my birthday in May! I will celebrate a wonderful 71 years! God bless you!
I lost a lot of weight on keto then I slipped into horrible depression and gave up on everything. Gained all my weight back:( now I am feeling a bunch better and I am ready to get back to doing keto ........ it's so much harder this time
Best RUclips channel on Keto and better health! I’m post menopausal and it was your advice on hormones that caused me to search out more answers to my struggle to lose weight! Still low carb/keto and trying to keep on going! Thank you!
Thank you, Dr. Berry! I'm a believer. I happened across your channel around 2 months ago and was convinced to try it. Unfortunately, as a type 2 devolved to type 1; full keto is dangerous for me. I quickly found (following your advice: see for yourself) that limiting carb intake to 50 to 80 grams a day is working well for me. I'm down to less than half of my former insulin dependency, and losing weight slowly but steadily (around 1 pound a week; this after more than a decade of struggling to lose any weight at all). Thanks, again, and know I am preaching your advice and channel to anyone who will listen.
I ate strict carnivore less than 5 carbs a day for almost 2 yrs and couldn't lose weight, but worse was I felt like I was getting more sick and not healing. I got frustrated. This September I was diagnosed with hashimoto's hypothyroidism. My numbers were way off. My numbers are still going the wrong direction but my new endocrinologist that i saw yesterday took more blood and told me before results she is positive I'm not on enough NP Thyroid. She was thrilled when I told her I had cut way back on my carbs because my a1c was at 5.6 and although that is normal it is the top of normal and I didn't want to go any higher into diabetes. (I had quit eating carnivore and keto when nothing was working. ) I'm now getting back on it again. I do great most of the time but sometimes when I feel really horrible from the hashimoto's I make decisions that I pay for later. I get right back on track though the next day. I'm down about 13 lbs in 2 weeks with numbers going the wrong way and a couple of choices that weren't as great as they could have been. 90% getting it right and the other times are just not judged as good or bad just so. The better I feel the easier it is for me to stay on track. The hashimoto's got so bad I have been out on disability for 6 months. My daughter now wants to be 3 way'd into my doctor appointments because I struggle to complete thoughts and sentences let alone get anything done... this has been going on for 30-40 years but no one would listen to me. Yet my ex had just a couple of my symptoms and he was diagnosed and treated years ago and immediately. There is a discrimination going on against females by doctors who just write us off as stupid. Me: my hair >is falling out in handfuls! Dr: everyone loses 100 pieces of hair a day a shrugs me off. Me: yeah but a healthy someone grows a new 100 hairs back in, doesnt have every other symptom of hashimoto's with the hair loss. When I went in and got diagnosed my throat was as big as my face. The discrimination needs to stop!
When I am hungry between meals I snack on one ingredient foods like egg. Or avocado; or a chicken wing.
Good idea.
I tried Keto and failed miserably. The Cheat days were a disaster for me. Also I find, like you, I have to have close to 0 carbs for this to work for me. Well I am about a month in now with Carnivore. Wow what a difference for me. No more trying to fit a salad or broccoli in. No more body pain since I figured out the Pistachio's and cheese were bad for me and triggered my pain and my eating. Now Blood sugar and BP are normalizing. Gerd is gone. Sleep is better. Energy is fantastic. Fibromyalgia is not hurting hardly at all. I do not have cravings and I am done with sugar forever. And green stuff too, unless it is seasonings or herbs for medicine.
I bounce from ketovore to carnivore and I feel amazing. I did have a small 2 week splurge for my birthday and Thanksgiving which was dumb. I gained 10 pounds back and have now lost 8 of it again. Probably my body just preparing to gain again with water filling up the cells and inflammation as my lungs were bad and joints were aching but now 2nd day of carnivore again and I feel wonderful again.
Yeah, it's tough around the holidays lol!
Does "carnivore" mean that you don't eat ANY carbs?
@@jenisecoronado5555 you eat the product of animals such as meat, eggs, cheese, butter, cream, etc. even some have carbs: eggs, liver, and some cheeses have carbs. but you don't eat veggies, fruit, or grains.
@@spookybooscarystorytime Thanks for clarifying! I wasn't quite sure!
Ironically, I started intermittent fasting as a way to keep eating pizza and drinking beer and lose weight. It worked for the first 30 pounds. Then I got tired of the stall and went keto as a lot of the IF gurus were also LCHF gurus. Lost a further 45 pounds. 5'10 185# now at 53. I occasionally cheat when my brother drags me to the beer bar, but it never tastes as good as I remember.
I did carnivore for 2 weeks and felt horrible so switched to keto. Today is day 40. I’ve been counting my carbs on the carb manager app and adding in salt/electrolytes and I’m still absolutely exhausted. Some days I wake up with a fatigue “hangover”. I think it’s multifactorial as I am still healing from CIRS but I’m not sure how long I should stick with this until I adjust. I’m currently doing 20 grams of carbs a day. I don’t know if I’m eating too much dairy? My breakfast is typically 5% greek yogurt and a handful of blackberries. That’s the only time I allow fruit. I’ve struggled with depression for many years and really want to see the mental health benefits of this diet. I’m willing to stick it out to 90 days but if I’m still exhausted by then I’ll have to dig deeper. Maybe my body really does need more carbs? I felt better as soon as I introduced a little fruit in my transition from carnivore to keto. Also I’ve been checking my blood Ketone levels and um after 40 days they have not gone past 0.5 so I’m not sure why I’m not in a deeper state of ketosis yet. I just added in IF 16:8 today and woke up feeling much better despite not sleeping well so I’m going to see how this pans out.
@@dvaccino Sounds like you need electrolytes.
Thank you so very much for being available to share your knowledge and showing genuine caring about the health and concern of all your listeners. You are truly a blessing.
I over eat nuts, specifically cashews. I can’t have them in the house. I also have to cut back on cheese or I start gaining.
I love cashews to but as you know are one of the worst nuts for keto. Macadamia are probably best. Walnuts, pecans, almonds are ok if we can resist overeating.
I had the same problem with roasted almonds. Don't buy them anymore. Cheese may contain too many proteins. Not only carbs but proteins have to be reduced too. 85% fat in the diet is the trick.
Knowing there are some things you cannot eat a little of is important. Most of those things for me are not keto anyway. I am one of those people who has to use a digital kitchen scale to prevent my serving of pecans etc. from growing in size. In fact, I use a nutritional app and digital scale to keep track of what I eat every day. You may not need to do this, but it keeps me honest.
@@cps_Zen_Run Dr Berry says he even avoids almonds.
@@armadillotoe I agree! I use the carb manager app and it is a great help!
I've been trying to get below 203 for about six years. I was at a high of 228 and after a visit to the cardiologist I got down to around 203, but no matter how hard I tried, I never could get down below that. I exercised, cut out all sweets, but still couldn't do anything. Of course I now know the problem was I was starting the day with a bagel and snacking on a family sized bag of Snyder sourdough Pretzels every three days, eating rice with every meal and lots of Avacado toast. After I spoke to my doctor in September, he reminded me that all those carbs are turning into sugar. And after watching the movie "Fat Fiction" I started doing intermittent fasting (8/16) and cutting my carbs back. I got an app (which really changed things for me), called Keto Diet App, and I set my macros to 30 carbs per day. I realize that this is a bit higher than recommended, but it's been working. I started getting serious on October 7th at 203 and I'm currently down to 191. The app and a kitchen scale have been life savers. I usually go over the fast. I don't eat after 8pm or before 12 pm, but I often don't eat until 2pm. I'm just not hungry.
My biggest problems have been hitting the calorie macros. I've found that the closer I get to the macro limits, the more likely I'll weigh in less the next day.
My big motivation was losing health insurance during this pandemic. I want to thank you. I'm not learning new things, but you are reinforcing all the things I'm doing. I have an appointment with my cardiologist in Feb, and I'm sure he'll finally be happy with my progress.
I've been suffering with the keto rash for the past several days and can see that making people give up. Fortunately for me I see and feel my itchy rash clearing up. Thanks for all the work you do!
I itched for like 3 months. I found that hot baths are not the answer. Cool water helped. My transition was long and rough but it was more than worth it!
Thank you for always telling the TRUTH! Over and over again I see people post on keto forums, "This isn't working for me" - i'm going to post this video everywhere!
Thank God for you and others lighting the way for us. If I may be so blunt, I and others might be finding it hard to change our habit of eating whatever we love. I am realizing I need to give up some things for the good of my health and overall benefit to my family and community. But I admit it helps to have a big batch of keto treats in the freezer, ready at hand to grab instead of regular carbs.
Great video ! I’ve gone through everyone of these in my 2 1/2 years ... I stuck through it and came out a winner 😊
The social aspect is the hardest part for me. Family, friends, others that dont understand, accept and even gets angry for me chosing not to eat the same as them. Hollidays and birthdays are the worst!
Dear Dr. Berry,I want to thank you for helping me improve my health and my 62 lb.weight loss.i was told by my Dr.that I would have to live with my 10% fatty liver and just don't drink any alcohol. Well my liver quit hearting and at 74 years old,I never felt better. My wife started keto3 month's ago and has dropped 42 lbs.again thank you very much.
Hey Ken it would be cool if you could make videos on:
- Chronic Gastritis, especially in regards to H. Pylori
- Plantar warts
Yes!
Yes please!
I second that! Our doctor told my daughter that if she does intermittent fasting she will give herself an ulcer or, at the very least, gastritis
@@vickymarinou6271 I had gut and bowel issues most of my life. Ketovore and IF has seen most of it resolved. At 60 I am pretty lean,strong and innards feel great if I stay the course.
@@vickymarinou6271 I had chronic gastritis and was on Nexium daily. Cured it after 1 week of Keto. She needs to find her a new doctor who knows that inflammation is caused by carbs.
When I finally started getting enough fat and NO carbs in my breakfast meal, I started forgetting to eat anything for lunch! I simply did nit get hungry until dinner. My fast is a decent 14 to 16 hours every day. I am loosing some weight, but loosing significant inches from my waistline. I can probably do better but this seems pretty good so far?
I've been doing the keto thing for a few years. Not as faithfully as I'd like, but I've been on a roll for a while now. Anyway, I have listened to a lot of Dr. Berry's videos and while this one is honestly quite basic, I think it's probably one of the best videos out there for a short attention span theater that addresses a handful of the common misconceptions. What really stood out to me is the multi-level marketing stuff that comes complete with all the little snacks and net carb lies. This is a great video to share with anyone who is looking into it. This guy really understands it and is presentation is always excellent. Never demeaning or condescending or close-minded.
Happy Birthday, Dr. Berry!
Sharing this to my Facebook groups!
Okay I finally have to say something. Anything. First. Thank you Doc. You have kept me going sometimes when everyone in my home offers me a "small slice of whatever nonsense carb". Hard road at first and learned from all the mistakes. THE main thing was to keep going. Setback, setback, setback. Suffer a day or two then move on. I'm now Keto adapted always somewhere around .8 but I've lost 40 lbs over 18 mos. My skin is clearer and better color and I know people won't believe me but my wrinkles are fading. I just noticed. Don't ever get hungry until about 22 hours lol who'd a thought?! Well thanks Dr Berry. Ps I must get back to you on your quick comment about Carb withrawl. Of course it's all related, in fact we shouldn't go there right now but from personal experience all my addictions had a direct physical link with my cornerstone carbohydrate metabolism. Always craved huge for sugar pasta etc etc when off the other. Anyway I've wondered about the THIQ connection. Funny how some of the ancient Maya remains had so much tooth decay and heart disease. Hmm.
I try to explain this to my girlfriend, but she is so hard headed!!! Carbs have people stuck.
Look for a new girlfriend👀
Yes, you need a Lo carb chick. I have found that no chick at all works best for me!! It is best for my diet, stress level, career, and finances too.
@Slimmerlife - Weight Loss Experts 7 billion people in the world, Mr/Mrs Right is somewhere out there😉
Thank you Dr Berry! I'm a 53 year old nurse who has lost 40 pounds in the last 4 months thanks to your videos and expertise. Feel the best I ever have
I started Keto on 1st January 2022. It has been a slow transition. I started at 12st 11. I have high visceral fat when I started it was 11.0 but has dropped down to 10.5 which seems to be going in the right direction. I have also lost centimeters but only 2LB In weight, currently at 12 St 9. The reason I started was to lose weight as my mother is type 1 diabetic and has recently within the last 2 years had 5 Cerebellar stroke which has had a huge impact on her life. This truly frighten me as I realised I was getting to a dangerous stage with high visceral fat of becoming a type 2 diabetic. It is slow for me for a few reasons, one my high visceral fat, two an under active thyroid and also my age as I will be 50 this year. I know a few people doing this diet who have some of the same health issue as myself but I have told them they just need to keep going and not give up. It's a case of understanding your body and being patient. I am determined to lose the weight but it isn't a quick fix. I only eat once a day and it seems to work for me me, I hardly ever feel hungry. Don't give up push through and eventually albeit sometimes slow at the start it will work if you keep going. Doctor Berry's videos are extremely helpful which his other video's on Keto as I have learnt quite a bit from him.
I’ve had many arguments on FB groups here in the UK with people who insist net carbs is the way to go because “you deduct polyols” whatever they are!
But we are supposed to deduct fiber, right? Not really doing keto, but thinking about it for next year.
@@abigailalvarado1385 Stop focusing on nuances, just eat whole foods, do not count anything, your body will indicate instinctually how much you have to eat.
@@abigailalvarado1385 The most important thing you can do is to begin eating a keto diet. You can and should continue learning about it after you begin. Just get started in the right direction and fine-tune things as you go.
Yes, you can eat a very large amount of carbs and still fall within 20g net carbs a day,
As a T2 diabetic, I can say that fiber does absolutely affect my blood glucose levels. It might affect it a bit differently than say that from table sugar, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have an affect. I suspect its one of the more common issues.
Its not a sprint, its a marathon.
Oh dear, ive spent a fortune on fake sugar, fake flour, fake this and that and haven't used any if it. I'm going straight back to carnivore. Trying to go keto has me craving craving craving, sweets and junk. Ive not succumbed but I'm not losing anything worrying about making keto bread ,keto baking. Thank you Dr very much I really needed to see this. Blessings to you and yours 🇨🇦❤🙏
Dr. Berry. I had gastric sleeve surgery 3 years. Thank God my stomach did not stretch and i still eat very little amount of food. I am in the Keto diet but my problem is that i can't limit the number of meals because i don't eat enough each meal. I appreciate your advise on what to change in order to do keto properly. Thanks. By the way, you have become my doctor with out coming to your office and see you in person. I love every video and you indeed changed my life. Thanks again.
This is Spot ON! I've been 20 carbs a day for over 6 years. I do not waste my time trying to figure "net carbs." Having said that, if I eat too much protein, I will also gain weight. Eating 1/2 a cow at 1 meat or a full day of meals will not make one lose weight. My macro for protein is just under 15oz. a day (spread out between meals, not all at once), and less if I want to lose more weight.
Can you make a video about the causes of swollen/puffy eyes especially in the morning after waking up
I’ve been OMAD and Carnivore for a few months at age 75 and losing slowly. I recently added 3+ cups of green salad with my one meal and have gained 4 pounds in four days! I’m resuming Carnivore today. That was very discouraging but this wonderful video popped up just in time to save my mind and body so I can continue healing! Thank you, Dr Berry!
Thank you for this Dr. Berry. I feel encouraged. God bless you for your ministry.
Yep! That’s me. Hypothyroid, low progesterone and the list goes on. I tried telling my dr years ago my thyroid was out but she always claimed it was within range up until recently it blew up out of range... she said she’s never seen anything like it! Yeah all at the expense of my health 😠
Bella I had the same thing happen to me. For 15 years I was saying to the different doctors I saw, " How can you say my thyroid is normal when I have an adenoma (benign tumor), a cyst, and multinodlular goiter". My hair was receding and thinning a great deal,(especially not good when you are female). I was tired all the time and the outer part of my eyebrows were gone my voice is hoarse to the point I get called sir over the phone!!. Finally halfway through 2020 my doctor said I have hypothyroidism. No duh! I started using a hemp CBD oil for my arthritis and inflamation and my hair and eyebrows grew back. Googled CBD oil and thyroid and found a bunch of research that CBD oil works for all thyroid issues. It worked for me!
@@trudyd.4169 oh that makes me so angry. I’m so sorry you had to go through years of being undiagnosed.
Im glad you mentioned about the CBD oil. I did get some but haven’t been consistent in taking it. I am also boiling 2 tablespoons of coriander seed in 1 cup of water into a pot boiling it for 15-20 mins a day. Sift the seeds and pour the liquid it into a cup. My thyroid went from 12 to 4.7. I am really thrilled to hear cbd oil is working for you. Many blessings are coming your way 🙌🏼
Your videos are great, Ken. I know they take a lot of work. Thanks for putting them up.
Another reason Keto doesn’t work: you don’t want it to. “I’ll try it but I know it won’t work”
You’ve got to have your mind right.
That’s a very insightful comment. So true! You have to come to a point where you are mentally ready and emotionally open to make the change with an open heart.
Thank you for this video. My weight loss stalled for 3 months now. I have been worried. Thank you for letting me know it is normal.
Thank you, Dr. Berry. I have hit a plateau. I am glad to know persistence is ok and not to get discouraged. My bariatric physician nutritionist said that I need to change a few things up. He has suggested a few lightweight training exercises and fasting 1-2 days a week.
Great video doc! Another reason can be social life like eating at restaurants birthday parties Etc. maybe trying to squeeze in a little alcohol here and there.
I was in a coma for 22 days and gained weight....the hospital took me off the KETO diet...lol Okay for now and I'm ALIVE two years later.
It’s about commitment. Once you are committed to doing it, you really want to see it work, then it is easy. Once you start doing well, you do NOT want to stop. Everyone is asking you what you are doing, telling you how good you look! Once you start thinking you can go back to eating junk food, it’s easy to revert as well. It is your progress to look for, be that weight loss in the beginning, or weight management once you achieve your weight loss goal. Anyone who wants to do it can do it. Their progress, looks, feeling lighter, ease of movement, just feeling great, is their reward.
I want to say is I am glad to be your new Subbie! I've gained much by binging on your knowledge and understanding about Keto done right. Thank You
