Thanks, KB, another great video. But I would have entitled it "Nine hormones corrected by keto". To suggest that the content is focused on burning fat faster (any more or less than your other vids) seems a little off point to me. Just saying...
Today is day 317 on strict Keto. I started st 345 lbs. I've lost 165 lbs. of fat. I'm now 180 lbs. Keto does work. I'm not going to go into all the changes that I've gone through during this journey but be assured it's been amazing.
Dr. Berry is an example of what a doctor should be - a true healer - not a pill pusher who is "trained" by big Pharma reps. If we had more docs like him we would be a nation of far healthier people instead of medicated zombies. Keto and Intermittent fasting work incredibly well for me!
Over 20 years experience. He was one of the early critics of so many statins, and made such an impact that both his home and his clinic were burned down to the ground.
I lost 135lbs doing this. Not only that, I normalized: -heart rate -blood pressure -cured type II diabetes -cured sleep apnea -alleviated headaches and lower back pain -normalized my lipid panel -I have kept the weight off for more than a year without trying Thank you Ken, for the new lifestyle and for helping so many people. At 53, I have more energy than people half my age.. I did not and do not count calories. I did it all trough low carb (keto) and intermittent fasting (controlling my hormones). I was never hungry and ate plenty. I was about to work myself from being a Firefighter/Paramedic (believe it or not, is a sedentary lifestyle) to being stuck in a casket. In my opinion, calories is a stupid measure of nutrition. In the medical field, we measure intake and output. When administering fluids, we measure not only the fluids we give, but the fluids we excrete. When was the last time a mainstream Dr tested a persons excrement for caloric content to see what is being utilized by the patient? Just a thought. I now work in a level 1 trauma facility (ER) and garantee that it isn't being done. Folks, just eat healthy and listen to Dr Berry. The key to most health problems don't come from your pharmacist, it comes from what we consume. Garbage in = garbage out (meaning outcome). Thanks again for going against the grain, and getting the truth out there! Kudos to you sir. It is people like you and Dr Mark Hyman that have restored my faith in the medical field (functional medicin that is). You two and Dr Jason Fung turned my life around!
SuperBooger2000 your comment says it all. I also am 53, lost 65 pounds and feeling great. I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who was cured of apnea. Keto is life now. Congratulations!
SuperBooger2000 thanks but I had an advantage as I post on a footy forum and one of the things we do is just go stupid with the puns, especially in the off season, and that was one I had used. I've been boring them stupid with my new diet.
ABSOLUTELY !..........NOT HUNGRY....NOT CRAVING.....NO LOOSE SKIN ! FROM 12 - 14 JEANS TO 6-4 PAINLESSLY.......MY HAIR IS NO LONGER THINNING, BUT THICKENING.......I HAVE EYELASHES....MY SKIN IS SMOOTH, YOUNGER....i am physically younger......no pain....
Been following a healthy ketogenic diet since May of 2019 and have lost 45 lbs. I am 60 years old and didn’t think I could ever do this. Love this way of life.
Hubby was ordered by Dr to lower carbs to 168/day so of course I had to manage & do same. 6mo later I was down in keto range right about the same time I turned 52. It's been over a year & we've both only lost 40-42lbs each. He "doesn't want to go below a certain weight" (even though the belly still shows otherwise), but I still have 30# to go & the scale hasn't budged in weeks. I can't figure out why. I have read & heard so many great testimonies like yours & I'm really happy for you! I'm also jealous & confused at my own deal. It was @KenDBerryMD video binge watching that taught me enough to do us any good (much better than his Dr's advice). Yes my body size has decreased, but I truly expected to be at my goal weight & size before the 1y point.
9 hormones: 1. insulin (main fat storage hormone in the body) Optimize insulin level : reduce total carbs per day. 2. Leptin (hormone that controls hunger) avoid veg oil. Eat fatty meat 🥩. Get sleep 3. Relin (tell your brain it’s time to eat) avoid all sugars 4. Cortisol (stress hormone) if elevated it causes you to store fat) get sleep, remove stressors. 5. Estrogen (optimize by eat dark greens, nuts, high intense exercise. 6. Neuropeptide (causes can craving. Eat proteins/fat. 7. Glucagon made in brain stem and small intestine. Eat protein/fat. Avoid grain/seed oils. Eat avocado/coconut oil. 8. Cholecystokinin controls hunger. Optimize by eating low carb meals. Eat protein. 9. Peptide. Made in the ileum/colon. Controls hunger. Optimize by low carb diet. Simple diet: ketogenic diet has healthy foods. Steps are listed in the links. Love this doctor 😎
I just received your book, "Lies my doctor told me", and I'm having trouble putting it down! Well written and very compelling info, so thank you, Dr. Berry! I've been trying this low carb, carnivore eating since last July- the weight is slowly coming off, but best of all I'm feeling so much better! Thank you for your work! I'm spreading your message up here in Canada!!
20 days in and 15lbs down! Love your videos, I keep sharing with everyone! Can you do a video on menstruation changes with diet? I know it's cringe but I see that question a lot in Keto groups! Anyway, commited 100% to this way of eating!
I’ve been on the carnivore diet since mid-November (with few interruptions due to the holidays). Initially l didn’t lose much weight, then at the end of December I also started the intermittent fast (16 - 24 hours no eating). I finally lost some weight or fat as Dr Berg says. Since November, I lost 18 pounds. That’s not as much as others say in the comments. I still want to lose more, so I’m thinking I’ll continue until I reach my goal.
The only thing better than keto is carnivore. I’m very low carb for life, and I’d be carnivore if I could afford the meat. OMAD and of course, no snacking and a very short eating window because you’re just not that hungry.
I am a week in and so excited to say I already feel better. Step by step and learning alot.... wish I had learned all of this before gall bladder removal, but onward!
Dr Berry you are my go to doctor❤️👍 I’m carnivore, keto 4 months lost 40 pounds . Off all my diabetes medication , thanks to this diet and listening to you and Dr. Jason Fung gAve me confidence. I have 100 more to lose. I hang on to EVERY video you make and binge watch over and over. Thank you so very much❤️❤️❤️❤️
I read in google news that Keto diet is the worst as voted by “experts”..... do the opposite and we’ll be fine, thanks doc I love all your videos!! 🥓🥩🍗🍤🥗
Big Food and Big Pharma want us to eat grains because they're cheap to produce, once processed have a long shelf life (less waste, more profit) and require lost of pesticides & fertilisers to grow (lots of profits). Added bonus, eating lots of grains makes the population fat and sick so that they can flog us lots of chemical medicines!
ketovore is the best diet I've ever eaten in my life, lost 56lbs in 6mo lowered BP feel fantastic sleep better move more easily and I love the foods I eat I'm never board always feel full and look forward to my meals, I don't really calorie count other than to log my foods and not go way crazy over. keto carnivore combined with intermittent fasting had changed my life in 6mo and still losing weight. it took a month to get use to now if I eat sugars or grains I feel terrible.
I could just hug you as a thank you for all that I've learned from you, I'm so happy, to be able to eat foods that I've always loved but felt guilty because it was bad for me 🙄! For me is not a diet is just the way I love to eat, even a cheat day for me don't include starch, I might have a bigger amount of nuts or cheese and I am good to go! Best doctor ever. ❤️🙏💙😘
Dr., how would you adjust this diet for 65-year-old woman who has no gallbladder? BTW, Since I started watching your videos about six months ago or longer, I have lost 43 pounds using the ketogenic diet. I cannot thank you enough.
Best diet ever lost 50lb in 6 month so far and off blood pressure meds and my ac1 went from 137 to 88 on a 8hr fast in my first 6 weeks of being on keto feeling awesome.
I was diagnosed with T2D 10 weeks ago and following your advice I've lost 25lbs to date. Thank you for sharing your knowledge it has re-tuned my brain about what is truthfully okay to eat what is not. Thanks again!
Thanks especially, Dr. Berry, for including the links to the studies. Since my retirement from the local university, I miss the intellectual stimulation of digging into knotty problems. Health science has become my favorite hobby!
I tried just intermittent fasting (OMAD) eating what I wanted, but I only saw the health benefits once i went Keto as well. It's worth trying fasting first in case you're one of the lucky ones.... sadly I was probably 'too far gone'! I needed to cut out carbs almost completely.
I’ve said it many times that this way of life makes me not want cold drinks and alcohol so much. Didn’t try to but just kinda worked out that way. Loving my new life because my family doc pointed me in the keto direction by showing me a Dr Ken video.
Thank you Dr Berry. You don’t know how much you’ve changed my life.. I’ll be forever grateful 🙏🏾♥️ the knowledge is on point and you’ve helped my epilepsy and hypothyroidism more that any of my doctors ever! Bless up and give thanks 🙏🏾♥️ Oh, btw, what can you do if you’re carnivore, on omad and fasting about 24hrs daily, but fat loss has stalled? I have beef or lamb, fatty, eggs, butter and hard cheese. Am I doing something wrong?
KenDBerryMD thanks for responding Dr Berry, I fell reassured. I’ve only been carnivore since 10th December 2019. I’m doing it for health but have lost 30lb so that’s a very welcome side effect 😊 Bless up from over here in the uk! One love 🇯🇲🇬🇧
Found Dr. Berry on Thanksgiving night 2019, after I woke up choking from being morbidly obese. I was 268 pounds, on a 5'11" frame. I couldn't sleep on my back, ever, legs hurt, knees hurt, ankles hurt, etc. Within two weeks, I had lost some weight, but the pain from what I am guessing was inflammation was almost completely gone. Now two months in, I weighed in at 238 this morning, no real pain in my joints and legs, and I feel wonderful. This works, and I feel better each day. Thanks Dr. Berry!!
I went carnivore 2 months ago and lost 30 pounds with 20 more to go. My blood sugar is getting very close to normal,(around 200 before) last week average 91 and last month 108. I will be going ketovore for life after 1 more month of carnivore. Thank you Dr for all your excellent videos that have helped me get here. Oh, I am down to 2 meals a day and doing 18/6 intermittent fasting.
@@KenDBerryMD I share your information all the time!!! Sometimes it's hard to get people to listen. They just want to make excuses. Not me though, I have totally changed my body composition. Lost two clothing sizes. I love this lifestyle. Again, thank you!
@@KenDBerryMD My hubs and I had a keto group even before we found out about you, but we give you and others like you credit for helping continue our education on this WOE. We have over 33k people in our group now, trying to help as many as we can. My hubs and his friend also wrote a book about sharing their experiences. There's nothing more satisfying than helping other people to see there is a better way, then getting to see their joy when they realize they've improved their health, lost weight, etc.!
It works! One yr ago I was 6’3” 310 lbs. Had done low carb. Chicken breasts and broccoli for weeks and no weight loss and miserable. Went back and did research. Low carb is NOT keto. Keto is low carb. Upped fat to 65-80% of total. 20-25% protein. Carbs 10-30 grams day depending on calories in other items. 2000 calories kept carbs 10-15. Other days maybe 12-1400 calories would up carbs to 20-30. Worked for me. Lost 70 lbs in 6 months. Slowly worked into a cleaner keto. More grass fed beef when on sale. Little less bacon and eggs and more 4 egg omelettes with guacamole filling. Better fat. Pecans/macadamia nuts instead of almonds cashews others that are higher carb and inflammatory. Lots of asparagus, cauliflower, spinach(creamed of course) and tons of cabbage in many forms. After one yr down 105 lbs. Joint pain eliminated. 64 yrs old and working out regularly. No super heavy stuff but way ahead of most my age. Once comfortable with keto eating start intermittent fasting. 12 hrs to start. Work up to 16-20 hrs between eating times when possible. Then you really turn on the fat burning. And I mean FAT not muscle/bone. Dr Berry #1 in my book. Dr Berg very good. Thomas DeLauer little windy but well informed. Many others Listen to all and you will find what works for you.
@@GreatGrannyFreeBird I'm trying to find this out myself. I could definitely see myself doing the 72 hr fast every week and enjoying it. I just want to make sure it isn't recommended against. I'm on day 2 of my second week. Not hungry at all. I dig it!
Sisterhood Dr Berry has good videos on intermittent fasting. It should be hours each day. Example you sleep 8 hours a night (or so 😬) that could be the start of your fast. Extend that out to 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours before bed, now you’re intermittent fasting for 12 hours. And you keep going to a point where you’re comfortable. Some people fast 20 hours, eat for 4. Seriously though watch his videos, very informative.
I followed your suggestion and I found a new life!. I would like to thank you for your everyday job. THANK YOU. I would like to come to USA only to shake your hand.
Absolutely. Our good doctor is a superb quality individual and a man of his word. The trip would be worth every penny just to shake his hand. I cannot tell you how much Dr. Berry has helped me and I cannot thank him enough.
With keto I’ve lost 101 pounds , my doctor hates it , and no doctor I’ve saw ever recommends it but it works for me and I’ve dropped two meds and was pre diabetic . I’ve still have around 50 pounds to loose .
I love the comments section,every time,amazing testimonials of people regaining health and their lives,its awesome to be part of such an inspirational group,The Berry bunch'😬
I've lost from 187 to 150 from July 2019 living this wonderful KETO/carnivore life. Been trying to get my husband to eat just like me, but he strays. His doc offered to help him lose weight for $500. I was like, WHAT...??!! I said, "Look at me! I did it now and it cost me nothing! You did it before too!" We've lost weight years ago before just following the Atkins. But we slowly gained over half back straying little by little. This time I was tetering over close to becoming diabetic and decided "nope" and doing this. I'm more informed than ever before! I tell people all the time that I'm a recovering carb and sugar addict and been clean since. You have to think of it as carb creatures and sugar serpents. They lurk inside of those cute packaged products. Oh the tons of chips, crackers, cakes, cookies, candy, donuts, breads, frozen dinners, meal helpers, pasta & any more"convienence" foods I ring up as a cashier every day! Blows my mind!
So many doctors just honestly don't know what eating too many carbs does to their patient's blood glucose. Thank goodness, many patients are teaching their doctors!
@@KenDBerryMD yah. My MD was worried I was having a crash diet, I said I'm doing keto and I feel great. My meds were reduced to one mg from 4 mg last month. Can't thank YOU enough for all the info you share. I'll definitely be sharing it as well.
If you're not diabetic you DO NOT have to worry about insulin spikes!!! The other thing is you never want to eat naked carbs. Combine it with fats and protein to slow down the absorption of glucose and will give better blood sugar levels. As far as cortisol regular exercise will take care of that. Science has proven stress levels are improved with exercise.
Yup the Doc has changed my life too. I am losing slower than some folks but who cares. coming up on one year and 35 lbs. and very grateful to Doc Berry for so generously leading the way. It's winter up north where I live and as usual activity slows and I'm missing my bike rides and the color green, cept for on my plate, but I'm letting it happen now because I know come spring I'll be at it 100% again. For me this change remains a kind of balancing act, work in progress as you personalize success step by step. Now working on correcting the stress parts of life that effect as described in this video my weight loss, energy level and the health effects. I'm 70 and don't need any medications. xxoo Doc thank you.
Hi Dr. Ken. you have mentioned that you used to be morbidly obese. It would be nice if you could post some of those pictures. It's fun to see "before vs after" photos for encouragement and motivation. Thanks for your informative and easy to understand videos. I have watched about all of them !!!
corrie kotulak I did too. But on purpose. I tried it as more of an experiment. I wanted my body to forget what Keto was. I had plateaued at -48lbs. When I checked in on the 1st, I had gained back about 11 lbs. This actually worked out great for some reason. It was like moving to “stage II” on my Keto journey. I loss 14lbs just 12 days back and now 18 as of today! So by coming off Keto, I think my body forgot what Keto was. That’s why I said I started “Phase II” of Keto. Basically introducing Keto to my body for the “first time” but at my plateau weight. It has worked wonders. If everyone remembers how great they felt and how the fat just fell off when they started; image the same results within the same Keto journey. 😉 Phase II for me, has been amazing on my refocus and frustration. Hope that helps anyone that may need it 😊 * This is what happened for me, everyone is different *
Yes. The struggle during the holidays is real. Social pressure from co-workers and family is also real. I treat myself in tiny amounts during the holidays. I think I ate maybe 4-5 cookies the whole season. That works for me bc I am not depriving myself of favorites but limiting myself to just one. This method might not work for all people thought. Depending on your carb/sugar addiction level, you might not be able to treat at all.
Dr. berry, can you please do a video on coffee/caffeine? There are so many yeas and nays out there -what is the real science regarding caffeine and the adrenals, cortisol, etc.?
Jean Paradis yes and caffeine in particular- people say coffee and it’s difficult to decipher whether they mean just coffee or if they are actually speaking of caffeine. A lot of tea and some Suppliments have caffeine. So if speaking of caffeine then say caffeine.
Even green tea has caffeine, not just coffee & regular iced tea type tea, as well as chocolate. But then herbs like ginseng (I have a green tea with it) & others are stimulant caffeine substitutes. Isn't it good to limit stimulant intake to early day & not evening? I'm having trouble getting hubby to be careful of that (he's 70 & doesn't sleep really great half the time anyway). Lately he's been getting up to pee extra times per night. I'm leaning toward insulin resistance plus lately he's been downing extra Altoids Artic mints & cough drops bc he's had a barrage of pnumonia, bronchitis, he smokes, & so the persistent deep cough has been around for a few months. Any help with the stimulants & also insulin resistance in near future videos would be very appreciated @KenDBerryMD! God's blessings on you & your family!
The science is quite simple, if you consume caffeine, it will cause your adrenal glands to produce adrenaline which is part of the sympathetic nervous system or fight/flight response and over time, this will promote the release of more and more cortisol. Most thyroid problems are really the result of adrenal fatigue aka hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis dysfunction. Cortisol promotes estrogen and vice versa, this why "thyroid problems" (which aren't; they're really an adrenal issue) are so prevalent among women as they have much more estrogen than males. But it's even worse than that -- cortisol promotes a different estrogen metabolic pathway converting 2-Hydroxyestrone to 16-Hydroxyestrone which is much more estrogenic and the "hurricane" starts spinning, aka "adrenal fatigue" with "thyroid problems" being just one potential result. If you want to educate yourself further on the topic, look up "Adrenal Fatigue" by James L. Wilson, it's available on Amazon.
Really enjoying your approach Dr Ken! And enjoyed your great book, recommending it to my clients. I worked in medical research for years and agree with your outing of the 'lies your doctor told you'. Well done!
@@jimsteele7108- when watching him lean forward/back, equals motion sickness. THIS vid has many starts/stops, which at it's restart, creates a jump in the Doc's new position within the room. A tad disconcerting, but no motion sickness anyway.
I'm conflicted that this video features both sales-Berry and info-Berry. Calory restriction does work when it's stuck to. I hate when you slander it like this because it comes across as lying, and I want to trust you Berry, you've helped me out. I lost 4kg on calory restriction without much hassle, even while cheating fairly regularly, over a period of 26 days. At a roughly 1000 calory defecit per day (includes everything, exercise, digestion, basal rate, change in basal rate with weight, all of it), I lost exactly what the calory counting predicted I'd lose. On keto I've lost roughly 3kg of water weight, and for the purpose of meaningful weight loss I'm going to ignore that as it isn't fat, it's water. This is a healthy thing in itself, but besides the goal of permanent weight loss if one were to stop doing the keto diet. So on keto I've lost 5kg in almost 34 days. About the same rate as regular weight loss. Yes I am doing it right. My piss stinks like an animal from the extra ketone bodies. You know what else? I tracked calories during keto too. Turns out, once you ignore that 3kg of water, I've lost exactly what the calories predict I'd lose on keto too. Calories are not a myth. Calories are an expression of the conservation of energy, and to this day has not been demonstrated to be violated. I was previously skeptical of this diet, so I figure I'll show my findings. There are indeed some significant changes that keto brings to the table. Weight loss: In theory it is indeed better to control hormones so that your body isn't fighting you as much as you try to lose weight. The reduction in hunger in my experience checks out and is absolutely a huge selling point. I feel I can generally go 50% longer without needing a meal, and food doesn't really bother me as much as it used to. When I ran out of food in the fridge and couldn't be bothered to go out to get more, I found myself going 36 hours without food before I actually felt hungry enough to do something about it (normally I'd force myself to go out the day I run out due to hunger without even skipping a meal). Controlling hunger is truly powerful in reducing how much you typically eat. However on the negative side of the keto diet is the fat. It is extremely easy to overeat fatty foods. They're a little over twice as calory dense as carb-high foods and like 20 times more calory dense than your typical vegetable (which is why it's easy to incorporate most vegetables into a keto diet despite harsh carb restrictions). It's easy to prepare a meal that has waaaay too many calories, that I would have otherwise happily ate in ignorance (and I ate it anyway even with the knowledge. Fatty food is delicious) To combat this you should bulk your food with vegetables to add volume (and of course nutrients), but you still need to apply some degree of willpower, in particular to following the rule: Stop eating when you're not hungry, eat only when you're hungry. No snacks that are eaten solely for the sake of wanting it, even fatty snacks. Additionally, even with the reduced hunger, hunger still exists. In particular, grelin and insulin, which as Berry says, regulate hunger, spike predictively at the time in the following day when you typically have a meal. The fewer meals you get used to having (easily done on keto), the fewer hormonal hunger pains you'll have to satiate. In terms of hormones: keto frees you from hunger due to crashing blood sugar after a meal, fewer meals frees you from hunger due to expected scheduled meals. Have a meal or two a day. The previously mentioned reduction in water weight is meaningful. Lower inflammation is healthy. I've attempted to gather data on this, though unfortunately I only got the monitor recently, and I've not seen a doctor in a decade so I have nothing to compare to. However since losing the water weight my blood pressure is 117/80, which is normal, even very slightly low. Now, I am rather young at 22, however considering my BMI puts me in the obese category, I'd be fortunate not to have at least slightly high blood pressure. Ultimately, it seems that the keto may have benificially affected my blood pressure. This seems to check out, and contrary to what traditional medicine has to say about fat too. Potential future heat attack averted. In theory a diet like this really would effectively cure diabetes, even type 1. Not really cured, you'd still have the disease, but effectively you can live your life as though you didn't have diabetes while eating a keto diet. A negative I've noticed is that I tire a little more easily from exercise, getting exhausted in roughly 5/6 the time I used to. I'd imagine this is due to less available sugar for my muscles. Supposedly this is something that one adapts to over time, though I've yet to verifiy it in 5 weeks. Perhaps I need but wait one week longer, but as far as I can tell, this may be a feature of the diet. Other negative features of this diet I've found are bad smelling poop, urine, and sweat. Wash occaisionally folks. As for other negatives when starting out such as keto flu, headaches, carb cravings and such, I can't vouch for them. I didn't experience anything of the sort despite quitting carbs cold turkey, though I've heard of people getting such symptoms. If that's true then it must be highly situational. Good luck. Ultimately I'll continue this diet as long as I care to, beyond even achieving the weight I set out to lose, mostly due to the taming of my hunger. I've a list of people I intend to donate to for services rendered when I set aside the spare funds. Dr Berry, you've made the list. I may not have been in as serious a situation as the many others you've helped, but you've given me control of a very important aspect of my life. You Thank you for what you've done.
Carnivore. It heals and you can eat as much as you like until you feel satisfied. I just restarted it for World Carnivore month and I feel fantastic! It's also freeing not counting all my macros and worrying about calories. I eat meat when I'm hungry and stop when I feel satisfied.
How did it go for the first two weeks until your body adjusted? I'm scared of having diarrhea at work. Totally honest. I'm a childcare teacher and don't want any incidents in front of my coworkers yet alone the children
I know this works. Seven years ago I did the 5:2 diet when it first came out in the U.K. Intermittent fasting helped me lose 42 lbs but my goodness it was hard. I didn’t keep the weight off because once I came off the I F the carbs kicked back in - along with wrongly prescribed steroids. Have tried Keto because I have Rheumatoid Arthritis I’m desperate to try and control. Have been on Keto for about five weeks, no carbs whatsoever, no grains, no deadly nightshade plants. Have lost 19 lbs, the IF is a breeze, I am NEVER hungry. It’s as if my body has turned to default and I just don’t feel the need to eat every single day or in fact ever if I’m not hungry, I know because of Dr Berry that’s how my body is supposed to work. Before Keto I’m would have believed such a loss of appetite meant serious illness! Thanks to following Dr Ken and Dr Dan in the U.K I’m out of daily pain and am turning my life around. I was a depressed physical mess I’m turning back into a functioning human being again. If I wasn’t English I’d probably cry with gratitude for these Doctors! Seriously if you are researching Keto and IF give it a go - I promise you it works.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻✌🏻🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️🏴
So happy for you! My friend has reversed his RA with Dr Berry's advice as well... off his drugs and healing. And Main Stream Medicine (MSM) tells these poor souls that it's irreversible.
The problem with marketing keto has been that Dr. Atkins, Gary Taubes, and even Dr. Fung's message is portrayed that body fat loss is completely, 100% controlled by one's Insulin level. Here, Dr. Berry acknowledges Insulin's primary role, but then explains the other very important hormones and enzymes that work in conjunction with Insulin in the process. I am a firm believer in the "Hormonal theory of obesity" when talking about people with deranged metabolisms including pre-Diabetes through T2D, PCOS, etc. After that, the science tends to point out that ketosis may actually help modify your genome via Epigenetics, may modify your gut microbiome and its impact, increases mitochondrial density or effectiveness, reduces systemic inflammation and pain, and tends to improve cognitive functions and feelings of well being. So, after one takes care of all those issues and regains a healthy "normal" metabolism, then we can move to the "eat less and exercise more" phase and lose those last 10 pounds just like everybody else.
The more I look into vegetables the more I realise we should not be eating them. But the more I look into animal products the more I realise that's pretty much all we should eat. I just wish we didn't have such a corrupt system with so many vested interests trying to confuse the situation at the detriment of everyone's health. The real science is clear, and it shows we are almost exclusively carnivore. Argue about the morality of it if you like but that's nature.
Great video. When doing this remember it’s a marathon and not a sprint. Also you will make a few mistakes. That’s a good thing, because it shows your going in the right direction. It’s like your on a sail boat. The wind changes and you adjust the sails and the rudder. Sometimes your sailing ⛵️ at an angle 📐 to your course, but you are still going on the general direction. You will go through storms and whiteouts, this is normal. As the Captain, you job is to reach your destination, their is no time limit... There never was. Remember you didn’t place a time limit when you and everyone sailed towards the end of the sea. Be happy that you have turned the ship 🛳 around. That’s enough. Then let nature carry you back. Let the wind take you home................
Just stumbled across your channel today. Thanks for being real about health. So helpful as I am just in the first months of research and starting keto to heal my body the right way.
Don't forget, in the 60's the sugar industry paid scientists to downplay the dangers of sugar and highlight (exaggerate) the hazards of fat. (JAMA Internal Medicine,2016.) This was never changed even after research on the contrary was discovered. Same thing with that generalized "food pyramid."
I am a bit confused. Fairly recently you changed from Keto to Carnivore, but here, this week, you seem to be promoting the Keto way of eating. Are you still Carnivore, but since many don’t want to do that, you are offering the second best way of eating? Just curious... I do appreciate your videos. You have taught me a lot. I was Keto and now I am Carnivore.
You are so right Dr Berry I have told my friends I am not on a diet ... This is just my lifestyle and it is so easy ... I have 3 rules #1 No bad oils, no sugars or starches #2 If I am Hungry I Eat, I Do Not Eat Unless I am Hungry and I Never go Hungry #3 Eat until I am satisfied (see rule #1) and never feel guilty about how much I eat. I am 64, my blood work is excellent, BP Low Medium (used to be very High), I am 50lbs lighter and 11" less around the belly, I am on Zero Meds now and I feel great. I started this last year, My Fishing buddy and I weighed in and bet $100... I was 265lbs, 5' 8" and he was 270lbs, 5' 7" and the bet was he had "Real Doctors" and I'm just listening to "Internet Doctors" lets see which is right. He is 66 now and has passed 300lbs and has a whole stack of Meds he has to take every day, a Cardiologist and now has Kidney problems (seems he may also have memory problems as he forgot about the $100 bet) I did get him to throw out all of his "Vegetable Oil" except for Peanut Oil which he Fries Fish in and he has told me numerous times that he hates the smell of Beef Tallow and Lard (and yet I have watched him eat both) Doing my best to lead by example, hope that it isn't too late for him to change his mind (stubborn ol fart), he has a standard routine Whataburger BOB (Breakfast on a Bun) and Pancakes at 6:00, whatever Burger Combo w Soda and a Fried Pie at Noon and then Popeyes or ? and he loves his dessert. I don't Preach to him but I don't eat with him anymore either. I just did a 2 1/2 day Fast (I just wasn't Hungry) and he thought I was nuts so I reminded him of my 3 rules and it zoomed right over his head
TMB247 Great testimony. Funny and sad situation with your friend. I’m sure if he wasn’t in such a brain fog, he would be amazed at your transformation!
@@CarnivoreStork Actually he said he was proud of me... He just thinks what I'm doing is hard to do... (first Month wasn't fun but now it is just normal) He is set in his ways and his schedule and his Whataburger morning crowd friends, maybe I should join him and just drink coffee... but I'd end up preaching ;^)
Thank you!! Dr Berry, I have been watching so many different channels on utube. Getting mostly, confused. I love the simplicity of your teachings. Others have become commercials for food companies. You and Dr Westman are the ones I’m sticking with now. Thank you 😊!!!
I found this way of eating several years ago (Butter Makes Your Pants Fall Off) and lost a lot of weight. Started craving a carb or three, and gained back about 20 pounds. Time to start again and go into my eighties in a slimmed down frame. Thanks Dr. Berry.
Me too! Many people think he abandoned RUclips because he failed and gained back his weight. You can find him on FB by searching Bob's Tennessee Street Plant Nursery. He still looks great.
The Legend Butter Bob! He was fantastic,I still recommend him for people who would benefit from his approach as his science explanations are easy to digest,bless him.
If you don't have a video talking the dangers of sugar, I would really like for you to make one. I think a lot of people do not know how dangerous sugar is.
I've been systematically working toward the "Sweet Spot" since after Thanksgiving dinner - 18 lbs ago. I didn't know about the peanut oil. One more thing off the shelf. Great video, thanks.
"Life partner that you can't stand to be around" 🤣 This will absolutely cause Chronic elevated Cortisol level. Nice video, very informative, 👍. Watching more videos from this channel, subscribed too. Thanks!
Yepper, started keto by watching KETO 101 by Dr Berry in Oct 2019. Have lost 72 lbs, A1C from 7.3 to 5.1 and many other markers normalized or heading in the right direction. I have watched many vids since I started by Dr Berry as well as several others.THANK YA'LL !!! O yeah, I.m 71 years old so don't let age hold you back, you probably need it worse than younger folks , I know I DO/DID .
I really appreciate how you are breaking down the science as to why this way of eating works. This video is helpful in avoiding misconceptions and preconceived ideas of what this diet is after only hearing the word KETO. I have never seen such an improvement in my overall health and have lost more fat than I ever have in the past 8 months following your advice as well as some of the other good docs here on youtube. Thank you for everything you do, I look forward to every video and I appreciate your no-nonsense way of presenting the information.
Hi Dr. Berry, I'm a little desperate hoping for possibly your help or from one of your listeners. My husband has been carnivore since October, 4- 1/2 months (Yay!). Multiple people at his work have been on diets or keto etc and have lost weight in upwards of 20+ pounds in a short amount of time. He has been strict and diligent and I'm so proud of him, 2 1/2 pounds of ribeye a day, mostly at lunch and the rest for dinner. Black coffee in the mornings. Prior to this he ate healthy & mostly organic but the typical standard American diet minus bread/grain. Needing to lose 50 lbs, he only lost 8. Is there anyone else that you know of that is struggling with the weight? ***We took his Labs before and after at about 2 months into being carnivore. They were awesome! So amazing! Perfectly healthy with cholesterol and A1c, etc. Just struggling with the weight and I do not want him to get discouraged. Is there anyone else that you know of that is struggling with the weight? (a lot of walking at work, and does not cheat) Any suggestions? God bless you so much ~ J :)
Hi Chuck, thanks for sharing! I believe your husband is on a great path, he might just need to eat less. Caloric restriction is a sure-fire way to lose weight, I'm pretty sure this will work for him. But even if he keeps his weight, as long as his inflammation and body-fat is low, I believe he can be pretty healthy! Wish you and your husband good luck on your health journey!
I am a 68 year old lady. I have never had to diet. All of a sudden I have thyroid and SVT and prediabetes issues. I pass out at random times and places. I am losing weight. I do not need to lose weight. September 5 I weighed 130 pounds at the doctor. That was a correct weight. Today I weigh 118. People around me comment on how thin I am. I started eating low carb to bring my blood sugar down. I have no fatigue and have good appetite. How can I gain weight without eating carbs and sugars that are bad for diabetes?
You wanna gain weight just because people around you comments about your thin body? At age 68 you should just ignore those stupid comments and just enjoy the life you have left. The thing is you don't wanna gain weight as you get older you wanna build muscle.
Thanks Doc. Fat doesn't make you fat, takes a bit of self awakening but it's definitely a fact, proved it over two years now, never really hungry and enjoying IF to feel more energised.
Ive been thinking about keto on and off for many years now. I was worried to start because I heard it can make you feel pretty bad at first. But im at the point where it takes hours to get out of bed. So I am going to start because I cant feel much worse than I do now. Another reason I was hesitant was because the longest living people in the world, in okinawa, have a lot of rice. Maybe all the fish and musbrooms they have counteract the negatives or theyre just more adapted to it than us
Thank you so much! I was getting retinol migraines and I went to the Dr and he said they were nothing to worry about. It was just a gliche in my brain. I was watching you on U tube and you said something about minerals for the brain. I took your mineral product and after 3 days they stopped. I am so grateful.
Great vid thanks for the info. Just one small thing tho, I think you ought to promote the essential health benefits of Keto too. I have friends that aren't obese or even don't have much extra fat to burn but are unhealthy with issues such as Hashimoto's, fibromyalgia, IBS, fatigue which I know could be revered with the Keto diet. Not to mention T2D. I share a lot of your vids in the hope they will get the message and change their eating habits of a lifetime.
Very confused. You mention more than once there is no need to restrict calorie intake or portion size, yet you also advocate fasting. Fasting is pretty restrictive. I can't get any further than 17 hours of fasting. Which is better for weight loss?
Hi Diane, caloric restriction (eating less) will allow you to lose weight really fast. Fasting allows your body to tap into its own fat stores instead of relying on food. In short, I believe fasting is a healthier way to lose weight since you're burning fat and not slowing down your metabolism.
Dr. Berry , I’m type 2 diabetic over weight with high blood pressure. I’ve been on a carnivore diet for several weeks now & haven’t lost any weight. In addition, my blood sugar stays elevated despite consuming little to no carbs. What am I doing wrong?
Burn Fat Fast with this Simple Diet---> bit.ly/KETO101
Thanks Doctor Berry!
Is sesame seed oil good or bad?
Good, as long as it ain't industrially derived. Here in China, it's extracted without any industrial intervention
Thanks, KB, another great video. But I would have entitled it "Nine hormones corrected by keto". To suggest that the content is focused on burning fat faster (any more or less than your other vids) seems a little off point to me. Just saying...
KenDBerryMD [ 👍👍 ]
Thanks for sharing this information with your viewers ! "
Today is day 317 on strict Keto. I started st 345 lbs. I've lost 165 lbs. of fat. I'm now 180 lbs. Keto does work. I'm not going to go into all the changes that I've gone through during this journey but be assured it's been amazing.
Congratulations! Amazing results. I too have had great success. Keep up the good work.
Wow! That is amazing! Good for you and I wish you well in maintaining it.
Big grats! Do you have loose skin? Can you list two or three positive changes?
Great work!
Well done, keep it up
Dr. Berry is an example of what a doctor should be - a true healer - not a pill pusher who is "trained" by big Pharma reps. If we had more docs like him we would be a nation of far healthier people instead of medicated zombies. Keto and Intermittent fasting work incredibly well for me!
Robert Laslo I agree with you. Well said. 👍
Is he real doctor?
Yes Dr Berry is an MD Family Medicine. I wish he was my Dr 😢
Over 20 years experience.
He was one of the early critics of so many statins, and made such an impact that both his home and his clinic were burned down to the ground.
Agree 100%.
Totally on the money as usual! I’m 74, WHERE WERE YOU 40 years ago? Just kidding, thank God for you now.
I lost 135lbs doing this. Not only that, I normalized:
-heart rate
-blood pressure
-cured type II diabetes
-cured sleep apnea
-alleviated headaches and lower back pain
-normalized my lipid panel
-I have kept the weight off for more than a year without trying
Thank you Ken, for the new lifestyle and for helping so many people. At 53, I have more energy than people half my age.. I did not and do not count calories. I did it all trough low carb (keto) and intermittent fasting (controlling my hormones). I was never hungry and ate plenty. I was about to work myself from being a Firefighter/Paramedic (believe it or not, is a sedentary lifestyle) to being stuck in a casket.
In my opinion, calories is a stupid measure of nutrition. In the medical field, we measure intake and output. When administering fluids, we measure not only the fluids we give, but the fluids we excrete. When was the last time a mainstream Dr tested a persons excrement for caloric content to see what is being utilized by the patient? Just a thought. I now work in a level 1 trauma facility (ER) and garantee that it isn't being done.
Folks, just eat healthy and listen to Dr Berry. The key to most health problems don't come from your pharmacist, it comes from what we consume. Garbage in = garbage out (meaning outcome).
Thanks again for going against the grain, and getting the truth out there! Kudos to you sir. It is people like you and Dr Mark Hyman that have restored my faith in the medical field (functional medicin that is). You two and Dr Jason Fung turned my life around!
SuperBooger2000,
Great comment and congratulations on your weight loss and renewed health ! "
SuperBooger2000 your comment says it all. I also am 53, lost 65 pounds and feeling great. I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who was cured of apnea. Keto is life now. Congratulations!
Going against the grain... great low carb pun.
@@nathansmith6914 you're the first one to carch that!
SuperBooger2000 thanks but I had an advantage as I post on a footy forum and one of the things we do is just go stupid with the puns, especially in the off season, and that was one I had used. I've been boring them stupid with my new diet.
I follow this doctor in just over 3 months I have lost 20 kg or just over 44 pounds
The best doctor! 🙌🏻 I have been my healthiest doing keto for 7 months now!
I like him, berg ( although he pushes alot of veggies) and that sugar addiction Dr that does gastric.
100% me also. life changing!
Keto since April 2021!!! Fasting 18/4 and low carb high fat diet helps!!!
ABSOLUTELY !..........NOT HUNGRY....NOT CRAVING.....NO LOOSE SKIN ! FROM 12 - 14 JEANS TO 6-4 PAINLESSLY.......MY HAIR IS NO LONGER THINNING, BUT THICKENING.......I HAVE EYELASHES....MY SKIN IS SMOOTH, YOUNGER....i am physically younger......no pain....
Been following a healthy ketogenic diet since May of 2019 and have lost 45 lbs. I am 60 years old and didn’t think I could ever do this. Love this way of life.
Congratulations!! 👏👏
As of this Saturday I'm down 100 lbs. Took 7 months. 30 lbs to go.
Awesome! Now you get to help others learn
@@KenDBerryMD that is my goal. Looking into becoming a Keto nutritionist. Thank you for all your help along this journey.
Hubby was ordered by Dr to lower carbs to 168/day so of course I had to manage & do same. 6mo later I was down in keto range right about the same time I turned 52. It's been over a year & we've both only lost 40-42lbs each. He "doesn't want to go below a certain weight" (even though the belly still shows otherwise), but I still have 30# to go & the scale hasn't budged in weeks. I can't figure out why. I have read & heard so many great testimonies like yours & I'm really happy for you! I'm also jealous & confused at my own deal. It was @KenDBerryMD video binge watching that taught me enough to do us any good (much better than his Dr's advice). Yes my body size has decreased, but I truly expected to be at my goal weight & size before the 1y point.
@@JoyfullyOrangeDeborah Did your doctor really allow 168 carbs a day or did I misread? That is a lot of carbs!
Della Humphrey I thought the same/ surely to God that’s a typo
You're awesome! Dr. Oz ain't got nothin on this!
Dr Oz sold out!
Dr. Oz? What a joke.
dr oz is a puppet for the CIA deepstate. a propaganda tool.
Dr Oz is a fraud. It's disturbing the amount of people that believe everything he says!
Dr oz is all about money
Keto one month down 22 lbs and going!!! Feel wonderful heads clearer. Have over 100 lbs to go but this is easy thanks to you!!!
Seems we're in the same boat. Good luck stranger.
Wow 🤩 amazing
9 hormones:
1. insulin (main fat storage hormone in the body)
Optimize insulin level : reduce total carbs per day.
2. Leptin (hormone that controls hunger) avoid veg oil. Eat fatty meat 🥩. Get sleep
3. Relin (tell your brain it’s time to eat) avoid all sugars
4. Cortisol (stress hormone) if elevated it causes you to store fat) get sleep, remove stressors.
5. Estrogen (optimize by eat dark greens, nuts, high intense exercise.
6. Neuropeptide (causes can craving. Eat proteins/fat.
7. Glucagon made in brain stem and small intestine. Eat protein/fat. Avoid grain/seed oils. Eat avocado/coconut oil.
8. Cholecystokinin controls hunger. Optimize by eating low carb meals. Eat protein.
9. Peptide. Made in the ileum/colon. Controls hunger. Optimize by low carb diet.
Simple diet: ketogenic diet has healthy foods. Steps are listed in the links. Love this doctor 😎
I just received your book, "Lies my doctor told me", and I'm having trouble putting it down! Well written and very compelling info, so thank you, Dr. Berry! I've been trying this low carb, carnivore eating since last July- the weight is slowly coming off, but best of all I'm feeling so much better! Thank you for your work! I'm spreading your message up here in Canada!!
Link to get the book please 🙏
Cortisol and Insulin, I mean- Satan and the Antichrist. 😂
😂 That's funny!
Omg yes!!!!
ROFL !!!
Exactly!
🤣🤣
20 days in and 15lbs down! Love your videos, I keep sharing with everyone! Can you do a video on menstruation changes with diet? I know it's cringe but I see that question a lot in Keto groups! Anyway, commited 100% to this way of eating!
I would like to know the same thing.
Can u tell me how u loss that much
I’ve been on the carnivore diet since mid-November (with few interruptions due to the holidays). Initially l didn’t lose much weight, then at the end of December I also started the intermittent fast (16 - 24 hours no eating). I finally lost some weight or fat as Dr Berg says. Since November, I lost 18 pounds. That’s not as much as others say in the comments. I still want to lose more, so I’m thinking I’ll continue until I reach my goal.
The only thing better than keto is carnivore.
I’m very low carb for life, and I’d be carnivore if I could afford the meat.
OMAD and of course, no snacking and a very short eating window because you’re just not that hungry.
I am a week in and so excited to say I already feel better. Step by step and learning alot.... wish I had learned all of this before gall bladder removal, but onward!
Dr Berry you are my go to doctor❤️👍 I’m carnivore, keto 4 months lost 40 pounds . Off all my diabetes medication , thanks to this diet and listening to you and Dr. Jason Fung gAve me confidence. I have 100 more to lose. I hang on to EVERY video you make and binge watch over and over. Thank you so very much❤️❤️❤️❤️
I read in google news that Keto diet is the worst as voted by “experts”..... do the opposite and we’ll be fine, thanks doc I love all your videos!! 🥓🥩🍗🍤🥗
"EXPERT": Ex-Spurt
Ex: Has Been
Spurt: A drip under pressure
Big Food and Big Pharma want us to eat grains because they're cheap to produce, once processed have a long shelf life (less waste, more profit) and require lost of pesticides & fertilisers to grow (lots of profits). Added bonus, eating lots of grains makes the population fat and sick so that they can flog us lots of chemical medicines!
Lol, be ware of those so called experts. Sometimes we have to think for ourselves. Agree with you!! ❤️😊
ketovore is the best diet I've ever eaten in my life, lost 56lbs in 6mo lowered BP feel fantastic sleep better move more easily and I love the foods I eat I'm never board always feel full and look forward to my meals, I don't really calorie count other than to log my foods and not go way crazy over. keto carnivore combined with intermittent fasting had changed my life in 6mo and still losing weight. it took a month to get use to now if I eat sugars or grains I feel terrible.
lol those experts who got us where we are now
I'm 21 lbs down so far thanks to your keto and intermittent fasting videos. Thank you!
I could just hug you as a thank you for all that I've learned from you, I'm so happy, to be able to eat foods that I've always loved but felt guilty because it was bad for me 🙄! For me is not a diet is just the way I love to eat, even a cheat day for me don't include starch, I might have a bigger amount of nuts or cheese and I am good to go! Best doctor ever. ❤️🙏💙😘
Second weigh-in (day 14/15) begins with total loss of 5.85kg (12.3 pounds)... I'm proud of myself.
That’s awesome!!!
I’m proud of you too, hang in there buddy
Momma always said “SUGAR IS THE DEVIL!”
Mine said it was poison if you ate too much. Mama right again!
Vicki Vallencourt is also the devil.
Dr., how would you adjust this diet for 65-year-old woman who has no gallbladder? BTW, Since I started watching your videos about six months ago or longer, I have lost 43 pounds using the ketogenic diet. I cannot thank you enough.
Best diet ever lost 50lb in 6 month so far and off blood pressure meds and my ac1 went from 137 to 88 on a 8hr fast in my first 6 weeks of being on keto feeling awesome.
I have now been carnivore 11 mo. 65 lbs. Lighter and feeling great. Glad i stuck it out.
This world needs a doctor like you..
I was diagnosed with T2D 10 weeks ago and following your advice I've lost 25lbs to date. Thank you for sharing your knowledge it has re-tuned my brain about what is truthfully okay to eat what is not. Thanks again!
Thanks especially, Dr. Berry, for including the links to the studies. Since my retirement from the local university, I miss the intellectual stimulation of digging into knotty problems. Health science has become my favorite hobby!
Or just do 16/8. AKA intermittent fasting (as recommended by Dr Jason Fung).
I tried just intermittent fasting (OMAD) eating what I wanted, but I only saw the health benefits once i went Keto as well. It's worth trying fasting first in case you're one of the lucky ones.... sadly I was probably 'too far gone'! I needed to cut out carbs almost completely.
I’ve said it many times that this way of life makes me not want cold drinks and alcohol so much. Didn’t try to but just kinda worked out that way. Loving my new life because my family doc pointed me in the keto direction by showing me a Dr Ken video.
Thank you Dr Berry. You don’t know how much you’ve changed my life.. I’ll be forever grateful 🙏🏾♥️ the knowledge is on point and you’ve helped my epilepsy and hypothyroidism more that any of my doctors ever! Bless up and give thanks 🙏🏾♥️
Oh, btw, what can you do if you’re carnivore, on omad and fasting about 24hrs daily, but fat loss has stalled? I have beef or lamb, fatty, eggs, butter and hard cheese. Am I doing something wrong?
Nope. Your body is taking a break. Be patient, and keep doing what you know to be right, the results will soon come.
KenDBerryMD thanks for responding Dr Berry, I fell reassured. I’ve only been carnivore since 10th December 2019. I’m doing it for health but have lost 30lb so that’s a very welcome side effect 😊
Bless up from over here in the uk! One love 🇯🇲🇬🇧
PPS that’s entirely up to you.
Found Dr. Berry on Thanksgiving night 2019, after I woke up choking from being morbidly obese. I was 268 pounds, on a 5'11" frame. I couldn't sleep on my back, ever, legs hurt, knees hurt, ankles hurt, etc. Within two weeks, I had lost some weight, but the pain from what I am guessing was inflammation was almost completely gone. Now two months in, I weighed in at 238 this morning, no real pain in my joints and legs, and I feel wonderful. This works, and I feel better each day. Thanks Dr. Berry!!
Now help your friends and family join you
Congratulations 🎈- keep going!
Lol, I love it when you say, "Do I sound like a broken record. "
So it sounds like Atkin had it basically right. He didnt get much credit.
NO, not Alkin's diet.
Not sure if Atkins had such focus on the source and quality of fats (eg avoid inflammatory seed oils)
😂😂😂 life partner you can’t stand to be around.
I went carnivore 2 months ago and lost 30 pounds with 20 more to go. My blood sugar is getting very close to normal,(around 200 before) last week average 91 and last month 108. I will be going ketovore for life after 1 more month of carnivore. Thank you Dr for all your excellent videos that have helped me get here. Oh, I am down to 2 meals a day and doing 18/6 intermittent fasting.
Thanks for this great information Dr. Berry. Your videos have changed my life dramatically! Please keep it coming!
I will keep the videos coming if you promise to share your story with all who need to hear, because so many are suffering
@@KenDBerryMD I share your information all the time!!! Sometimes it's hard to get people to listen. They just want to make excuses. Not me though, I have totally changed my body composition. Lost two clothing sizes. I love this lifestyle. Again, thank you!
@@KenDBerryMD My hubs and I had a keto group even before we found out about you, but we give you and others like you credit for helping continue our education on this WOE. We have over 33k people in our group now, trying to help as many as we can. My hubs and his friend also wrote a book about sharing their experiences. There's nothing more satisfying than helping other people to see there is a better way, then getting to see their joy when they realize they've improved their health, lost weight, etc.!
It works!
One yr ago I was 6’3” 310 lbs. Had done low carb. Chicken breasts and broccoli for weeks and no weight loss and miserable.
Went back and did research. Low carb is NOT keto. Keto is low carb.
Upped fat to 65-80% of total. 20-25% protein. Carbs 10-30 grams day depending on calories in other items. 2000 calories kept carbs 10-15. Other days maybe 12-1400 calories would up carbs to 20-30. Worked for me. Lost 70 lbs in 6 months. Slowly worked into a cleaner keto. More grass fed beef when on sale. Little less bacon and eggs and more 4 egg omelettes with guacamole filling. Better fat. Pecans/macadamia nuts instead of almonds cashews others that are higher carb and inflammatory. Lots of asparagus, cauliflower, spinach(creamed of course) and tons of cabbage in many forms. After one yr down 105 lbs. Joint pain eliminated. 64 yrs old and working out regularly. No super heavy stuff but way ahead of most my age.
Once comfortable with keto eating start intermittent fasting. 12 hrs to start. Work up to 16-20 hrs between eating times when possible. Then you really turn on the fat burning. And I mean FAT not muscle/bone.
Dr Berry #1 in my book.
Dr Berg very good.
Thomas DeLauer little windy but well informed. Many others
Listen to all and you will find what works for you.
Rue ridge
Well said! I have had a similar experience!
Rue ridge hey, congratulations on 105 pounds, gone! Hey, how often do you do that fasting? Once a week? Every few days? I'm just starting keto.
@@GreatGrannyFreeBird I'm trying to find this out myself. I could definitely see myself doing the 72 hr fast every week and enjoying it. I just want to make sure it isn't recommended against.
I'm on day 2 of my second week. Not hungry at all. I dig it!
Thanks!!!
Sisterhood Dr Berry has good videos on intermittent fasting. It should be hours each day. Example you sleep 8 hours a night (or so 😬) that could be the start of your fast. Extend that out to 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours before bed, now you’re intermittent fasting for 12 hours. And you keep going to a point where you’re comfortable. Some people fast 20 hours, eat for 4. Seriously though watch his videos, very informative.
Ive done keto for like 10 months and lost 23 kg so far, only 14 kg left to lose. Im so happy 😭❤️
I followed your suggestion and I found a new life!. I would like to thank you for your everyday job. THANK YOU. I would like to come to USA only to shake your hand.
Absolutely. Our good doctor is a superb quality individual and a man of his word. The trip would be worth every penny just to shake his hand. I cannot tell you how much Dr. Berry has helped me and I cannot thank him enough.
With keto I’ve lost 101 pounds , my doctor hates it , and no doctor I’ve saw ever recommends it but it works for me and I’ve dropped two meds and was pre diabetic . I’ve still have around 50 pounds to loose .
Sadly most Main Stream Medical practitioners are simply the delivery arm of Big Pharma. Heathy patients = loss of earnings. They won't like Keto.
I love the comments section,every time,amazing testimonials of people regaining health and their lives,its awesome to be part of such an inspirational group,The Berry bunch'😬
I am so honored to have had you as my Dr. years ago sorry I had to move so far away. You'll always be my favorite ❤👍
You’re so lucky!
I’ve been doing keto for 4 months and have lost 23kg (50 lbs). I feel fantastic! Love keto.
I’m going to send the link to this video to everyone I know! I sure wish you and the internet were around 30 years ago!! Thank you so much!
I've lost from 187 to 150 from July 2019 living this wonderful KETO/carnivore life. Been trying to get my husband to eat just like me, but he strays. His doc offered to help him lose weight for $500. I was like, WHAT...??!! I said, "Look at me! I did it now and it cost me nothing! You did it before too!" We've lost weight years ago before just following the Atkins. But we slowly gained over half back straying little by little. This time I was tetering over close to becoming diabetic and decided "nope" and doing this. I'm more informed than ever before! I tell people all the time that I'm a recovering carb and sugar addict and been clean since. You have to think of it as carb creatures and sugar serpents. They lurk inside of those cute packaged products. Oh the tons of chips, crackers, cakes, cookies, candy, donuts, breads, frozen dinners, meal helpers, pasta & any more"convienence" foods I ring up as a cashier every day! Blows my mind!
Hi Diva, thanks a lot for sharing! Congratulations on losing so much weight, wish your husband success, too.
Carb creatures & Sugar serpents.
Oh my goodness...gonna remember that! 🐲🦂🐍
I love these quick, straight to the point videos without all the fluff. Thank you.
I had to watch this twice and take notes. Great information, thanks Doc!
I see a Dr. Barry video pop up in my feed. And I like before even watching. And I'm never disappointed.
Just what I needed. Thanks! Please keep helping us.
My doctor was surprised with my glucose results only after a month. Thanks to Doc!
So many doctors just honestly don't know what eating too many carbs does to their patient's blood glucose. Thank goodness, many patients are teaching their doctors!
@@KenDBerryMD yah. My MD was worried I was having a crash diet, I said I'm doing keto and I feel great. My meds were reduced to one mg from 4 mg last month. Can't thank YOU enough for all the info you share. I'll definitely be sharing it as well.
If you're not diabetic you DO NOT have to worry about insulin spikes!!! The other thing is you never want to eat naked carbs. Combine it with fats and protein to slow down the absorption of glucose and will give better blood sugar levels. As far as cortisol regular exercise will take care of that. Science has proven stress levels are improved with exercise.
Yup the Doc has changed my life too. I am losing slower than some folks but who cares. coming up on one year and 35 lbs. and very grateful to Doc Berry for so generously leading the way. It's winter up north where I live and as usual activity slows and I'm missing my bike rides and the color green, cept for on my plate, but I'm letting it happen now because I know come spring I'll be at it 100% again. For me this change remains a kind of balancing act, work in progress as you personalize success step by step. Now working on correcting the stress parts of life that effect as described in this video my weight loss, energy level and the health effects. I'm 70 and don't need any medications. xxoo Doc thank you.
Hi Dr. Ken. you have mentioned that you used to be morbidly obese. It would be nice if you could post some of those pictures. It's fun to see "before vs after" photos for encouragement and motivation. Thanks for your informative and easy to understand videos. I have watched about all of them !!!
Thank you I am down 60lbs
Unfortunately went off low carb/ keto during the holidays, these videos help me to get back on track, feeling better already!
corrie kotulak same here! I enjoy eating holiday food. Love these videos for getting back serious.
corrie kotulak I did too. But on purpose. I tried it as more of an experiment. I wanted my body to forget what Keto was. I had plateaued at -48lbs. When I checked in on the 1st, I had gained back about 11 lbs. This actually worked out great for some reason. It was like moving to “stage II” on my Keto journey. I loss 14lbs just 12 days back and now 18 as of today!
So by coming off Keto, I think my body forgot what Keto was. That’s why I said I started “Phase II” of Keto. Basically introducing Keto to my body for the “first time” but at my plateau weight. It has worked wonders. If everyone remembers how great they felt and how the fat just fell off when they started; image the same results within the same Keto journey. 😉
Phase II for me, has been amazing on my refocus and frustration. Hope that helps anyone that may need it 😊
* This is what happened for me, everyone is different *
@@bolo0708 glad you mentioned this! I'm realizing that taking that time has been beneficial for me as well.
@@bolo0708 phase 2 😁
Yes. The struggle during the holidays is real. Social pressure from co-workers and family is also real. I treat myself in tiny amounts during the holidays. I think I ate maybe 4-5 cookies the whole season. That works for me bc I am not depriving myself of favorites but limiting myself to just one. This method might not work for all people thought. Depending on your carb/sugar addiction level, you might not be able to treat at all.
Dr. berry, can you please do a video on coffee/caffeine? There are so many yeas and nays out there -what is the real science regarding caffeine and the adrenals, cortisol, etc.?
Jean Paradis yes and caffeine in particular- people say coffee and it’s difficult to decipher whether they mean just coffee or if they are actually speaking of caffeine. A lot of tea and some Suppliments have caffeine. So if speaking of caffeine then say caffeine.
did cave men drink it ? no? then don't. also its a product its processed and usually in contact with plastic once or more then once.
Even green tea has caffeine, not just coffee & regular iced tea type tea, as well as chocolate. But then herbs like ginseng (I have a green tea with it) & others are stimulant caffeine substitutes. Isn't it good to limit stimulant intake to early day & not evening? I'm having trouble getting hubby to be careful of that (he's 70 & doesn't sleep really great half the time anyway). Lately he's been getting up to pee extra times per night. I'm leaning toward insulin resistance plus lately he's been downing extra Altoids Artic mints & cough drops bc he's had a barrage of pnumonia, bronchitis, he smokes, & so the persistent deep cough has been around for a few months. Any help with the stimulants & also insulin resistance in near future videos would be very appreciated @KenDBerryMD!
God's blessings on you & your family!
The science is quite simple, if you consume caffeine, it will cause your adrenal glands to produce adrenaline which is part of the sympathetic nervous system or fight/flight response and over time, this will promote the release of more and more cortisol. Most thyroid problems are really the result of adrenal fatigue aka hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis dysfunction. Cortisol promotes estrogen and vice versa, this why "thyroid problems" (which aren't; they're really an adrenal issue) are so prevalent among women as they have much more estrogen than males. But it's even worse than that -- cortisol promotes a different estrogen metabolic pathway converting 2-Hydroxyestrone to 16-Hydroxyestrone which is much more estrogenic and the "hurricane" starts spinning, aka "adrenal fatigue" with "thyroid problems" being just one potential result. If you want to educate yourself further on the topic, look up "Adrenal Fatigue" by James L. Wilson, it's available on Amazon.
@@betelgeuse68 By your logic you may as well advise people to never get stressed or excited. At least coffee is pleasant.
I think I have watched almost all of your videos. Love and appreciate your work! This video is excellent!
Really enjoying your approach Dr Ken! And enjoyed your great book, recommending it to my clients. I worked in medical research for years and agree with your outing of the 'lies your doctor told you'. Well done!
Watching this while eating a half rack of pork ribs.
Edit: Where the Ear Buds at Doc?
I got upgraded!
@@KenDBerryMD, btw, after 3 ribs, I am already satiated.
Thanks Doc, you're getting so much better about NOT rocking forward and back (thereby giving some watchers motion sickness).
@@laurawyant6181 , do you struggle with Vertigo?
@@jimsteele7108- when watching him lean forward/back, equals motion sickness. THIS vid has many starts/stops, which at it's restart, creates a jump in the Doc's new position within the room. A tad disconcerting, but no motion sickness anyway.
I'm conflicted that this video features both sales-Berry and info-Berry.
Calory restriction does work when it's stuck to. I hate when you slander it like this because it comes across as lying, and I want to trust you Berry, you've helped me out.
I lost 4kg on calory restriction without much hassle, even while cheating fairly regularly, over a period of 26 days. At a roughly 1000 calory defecit per day (includes everything, exercise, digestion, basal rate, change in basal rate with weight, all of it), I lost exactly what the calory counting predicted I'd lose.
On keto I've lost roughly 3kg of water weight, and for the purpose of meaningful weight loss I'm going to ignore that as it isn't fat, it's water. This is a healthy thing in itself, but besides the goal of permanent weight loss if one were to stop doing the keto diet.
So on keto I've lost 5kg in almost 34 days. About the same rate as regular weight loss. Yes I am doing it right. My piss stinks like an animal from the extra ketone bodies. You know what else? I tracked calories during keto too. Turns out, once you ignore that 3kg of water, I've lost exactly what the calories predict I'd lose on keto too. Calories are not a myth. Calories are an expression of the conservation of energy, and to this day has not been demonstrated to be violated.
I was previously skeptical of this diet, so I figure I'll show my findings.
There are indeed some significant changes that keto brings to the table.
Weight loss: In theory it is indeed better to control hormones so that your body isn't fighting you as much as you try to lose weight. The reduction in hunger in my experience checks out and is absolutely a huge selling point. I feel I can generally go 50% longer without needing a meal, and food doesn't really bother me as much as it used to. When I ran out of food in the fridge and couldn't be bothered to go out to get more, I found myself going 36 hours without food before I actually felt hungry enough to do something about it (normally I'd force myself to go out the day I run out due to hunger without even skipping a meal). Controlling hunger is truly powerful in reducing how much you typically eat. However on the negative side of the keto diet is the fat. It is extremely easy to overeat fatty foods. They're a little over twice as calory dense as carb-high foods and like 20 times more calory dense than your typical vegetable (which is why it's easy to incorporate most vegetables into a keto diet despite harsh carb restrictions). It's easy to prepare a meal that has waaaay too many calories, that I would have otherwise happily ate in ignorance (and I ate it anyway even with the knowledge. Fatty food is delicious) To combat this you should bulk your food with vegetables to add volume (and of course nutrients), but you still need to apply some degree of willpower, in particular to following the rule: Stop eating when you're not hungry, eat only when you're hungry. No snacks that are eaten solely for the sake of wanting it, even fatty snacks.
Additionally, even with the reduced hunger, hunger still exists. In particular, grelin and insulin, which as Berry says, regulate hunger, spike predictively at the time in the following day when you typically have a meal. The fewer meals you get used to having (easily done on keto), the fewer hormonal hunger pains you'll have to satiate. In terms of hormones: keto frees you from hunger due to crashing blood sugar after a meal, fewer meals frees you from hunger due to expected scheduled meals. Have a meal or two a day.
The previously mentioned reduction in water weight is meaningful. Lower inflammation is healthy. I've attempted to gather data on this, though unfortunately I only got the monitor recently, and I've not seen a doctor in a decade so I have nothing to compare to. However since losing the water weight my blood pressure is 117/80, which is normal, even very slightly low. Now, I am rather young at 22, however considering my BMI puts me in the obese category, I'd be fortunate not to have at least slightly high blood pressure. Ultimately, it seems that the keto may have benificially affected my blood pressure. This seems to check out, and contrary to what traditional medicine has to say about fat too. Potential future heat attack averted.
In theory a diet like this really would effectively cure diabetes, even type 1. Not really cured, you'd still have the disease, but effectively you can live your life as though you didn't have diabetes while eating a keto diet.
A negative I've noticed is that I tire a little more easily from exercise, getting exhausted in roughly 5/6 the time I used to. I'd imagine this is due to less available sugar for my muscles. Supposedly this is something that one adapts to over time, though I've yet to verifiy it in 5 weeks. Perhaps I need but wait one week longer, but as far as I can tell, this may be a feature of the diet.
Other negative features of this diet I've found are bad smelling poop, urine, and sweat. Wash occaisionally folks.
As for other negatives when starting out such as keto flu, headaches, carb cravings and such, I can't vouch for them. I didn't experience anything of the sort despite quitting carbs cold turkey, though I've heard of people getting such symptoms. If that's true then it must be highly situational. Good luck.
Ultimately I'll continue this diet as long as I care to, beyond even achieving the weight I set out to lose, mostly due to the taming of my hunger.
I've a list of people I intend to donate to for services rendered when I set aside the spare funds. Dr Berry, you've made the list. I may not have been in as serious a situation as the many others you've helped, but you've given me control of a very important aspect of my life. You Thank you for what you've done.
Very interesting read, thank you so much for sharing!
In other words; stay low carb, eat healthy fats and proteins! Stay Keto!
BBB&E
Carnivore. It heals and you can eat as much as you like until you feel satisfied. I just restarted it for World Carnivore month and I feel fantastic! It's also freeing not counting all my macros and worrying about calories. I eat meat when I'm hungry and stop when I feel satisfied.
How did it go for the first two weeks until your body adjusted? I'm scared of having diarrhea at work. Totally honest. I'm a childcare teacher and don't want any incidents in front of my coworkers yet alone the children
I like this guy, I trust him im going to give this a shot
How is it going?
How did it go?
I know this works. Seven years ago I did the 5:2 diet when it first came out in the U.K. Intermittent fasting helped me lose 42 lbs but my goodness it was hard. I didn’t keep the weight off because once I came off the I F the carbs kicked back in - along with wrongly prescribed steroids.
Have tried Keto because I have Rheumatoid Arthritis I’m desperate to try and control. Have been on Keto for about five weeks, no carbs whatsoever, no grains, no deadly nightshade plants. Have lost 19 lbs, the IF is a breeze, I am NEVER hungry. It’s as if my body has turned to default and I just don’t feel the need to eat every single day or in fact ever if I’m not hungry, I know because of Dr Berry that’s how my body is supposed to work. Before Keto I’m would have believed such a loss of appetite meant serious illness!
Thanks to following Dr Ken and Dr Dan in the U.K I’m out of daily pain and am turning my life around. I was a depressed physical mess I’m turning back into a functioning human being again. If I wasn’t English I’d probably cry with gratitude for these Doctors!
Seriously if you are researching Keto and IF give it a go - I promise you it works.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻✌🏻🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️🏴
So happy for you! My friend has reversed his RA with Dr Berry's advice as well... off his drugs and healing. And Main Stream Medicine (MSM) tells these poor souls that it's irreversible.
The problem with marketing keto has been that Dr. Atkins, Gary Taubes, and even Dr. Fung's message is portrayed that body fat loss is completely, 100% controlled by one's Insulin level. Here, Dr. Berry acknowledges Insulin's primary role, but then explains the other very important hormones and enzymes that work in conjunction with Insulin in the process. I am a firm believer in the "Hormonal theory of obesity" when talking about people with deranged metabolisms including pre-Diabetes through T2D, PCOS, etc. After that, the science tends to point out that ketosis may actually help modify your genome via Epigenetics, may modify your gut microbiome and its impact, increases mitochondrial density or effectiveness, reduces systemic inflammation and pain, and tends to improve cognitive functions and feelings of well being. So, after one takes care of all those issues and regains a healthy "normal" metabolism, then we can move to the "eat less and exercise more" phase and lose those last 10 pounds just like everybody else.
Your the best Dr. Ever!!! Blessings!!!🙏😊
The more I look into vegetables the more I realise we should not be eating them. But the more I look into animal products the more I realise that's pretty much all we should eat. I just wish we didn't have such a corrupt system with so many vested interests trying to confuse the situation at the detriment of everyone's health. The real science is clear, and it shows we are almost exclusively carnivore. Argue about the morality of it if you like but that's nature.
Ya' I did the carny diet. Worked great. Just went back for my blood test. Hope the are in tomorrow. There should be no fat people. Eat meat
@Night that's right. Wasn't that clear?
I eat vegans for breakfast 🥣
NicheXclusive not a great meat source I’m guessing
Kyudobro haha good point
And fat like granny and grandpa used to!
Repeating like a broken record...Don't worry. Most people now don't know what a turntable is.
😅👍🤣🤣🤣 I know right? Terrible to realize that saying "we sound like a broken record" actually ages us! 😅😉
Great video. When doing this remember it’s a marathon and not a sprint. Also you will make a few mistakes. That’s a good thing, because it shows your going in the right direction. It’s like your on a sail boat. The wind changes and you adjust the sails and the rudder. Sometimes your sailing ⛵️ at an angle 📐 to your course, but you are still going on the general direction. You will go through storms and whiteouts, this is normal. As the Captain, you job is to reach your destination, their is no time limit... There never was. Remember you didn’t place a time limit when you and everyone sailed towards the end of the sea. Be happy that you have turned the ship 🛳 around. That’s enough. Then let nature carry you back. Let the wind take you home................
Added butter to my eggs. Flavor is absolutely AMAZING!
Just stumbled across your channel today. Thanks for being real about health. So helpful as I am just in the first months of research and starting keto to heal my body the right way.
Don't forget, in the 60's the sugar industry paid scientists to downplay the dangers of sugar and highlight (exaggerate) the hazards of fat. (JAMA Internal Medicine,2016.) This was never changed even after research on the contrary was discovered. Same thing with that generalized "food pyramid."
Thank you Dr. Berry! You changed my life, by motivating me with your channel.
I am a bit confused. Fairly recently you changed from Keto to Carnivore, but here, this week, you seem to be promoting the Keto way of eating. Are you still Carnivore, but since many don’t want to do that, you are offering the second best way of eating? Just curious... I do appreciate your videos. You have taught me a lot. I was Keto and now I am Carnivore.
Hi Deborah, I believe he promotes carnivore for it's anti-inflammatory benefits but is a bigger fan of keto when it comes to fat-loss.
Albert's Channel Thank you. I believe both are beneficial and I realize most will choose Keto over Carnivore because it is less extreme.
@@MyMontana52 Yeah probably healthier as well for most people but as you say, both are much better than SAD.
You are so right Dr Berry
I have told my friends I am not on a diet ... This is just my lifestyle and it is so easy ...
I have 3 rules #1 No bad oils, no sugars or starches #2 If I am Hungry I Eat, I Do Not Eat Unless I am Hungry and I Never go Hungry #3 Eat until I am satisfied (see rule #1) and never feel guilty about how much I eat.
I am 64, my blood work is excellent, BP Low Medium (used to be very High), I am 50lbs lighter and 11" less around the belly, I am on Zero Meds now and I feel great.
I started this last year, My Fishing buddy and I weighed in and bet $100... I was 265lbs, 5' 8" and he was 270lbs, 5' 7" and the bet was he had "Real Doctors" and I'm just listening to "Internet Doctors" lets see which is right.
He is 66 now and has passed 300lbs and has a whole stack of Meds he has to take every day, a Cardiologist and now has Kidney problems (seems he may also have memory problems as he forgot about the $100 bet)
I did get him to throw out all of his "Vegetable Oil" except for Peanut Oil which he Fries Fish in and he has told me numerous times that he hates the smell of Beef Tallow and Lard (and yet I have watched him eat both)
Doing my best to lead by example, hope that it isn't too late for him to change his mind (stubborn ol fart), he has a standard routine Whataburger BOB (Breakfast on a Bun) and Pancakes at 6:00, whatever Burger Combo w Soda and a Fried Pie at Noon and then Popeyes or ? and he loves his dessert.
I don't Preach to him but I don't eat with him anymore either.
I just did a 2 1/2 day Fast (I just wasn't Hungry) and he thought I was nuts so I reminded him of my 3 rules and it zoomed right over his head
Wow you are inspiring!! 👍🏼👏🏼Your friend is lucky to have you. I hope he comes around🙏🏼
TMB247
Great testimony. Funny and sad situation with your friend.
I’m sure if he wasn’t in such a brain fog, he would be amazed at your transformation!
@@CarnivoreStork
Actually he said he was proud of me... He just thinks what I'm doing is hard to do... (first Month wasn't fun but now it is just normal)
He is set in his ways and his schedule and his Whataburger morning crowd friends, maybe I should join him and just drink coffee... but I'd end up preaching ;^)
I hope your buddy gets on board soon so you dont lose him ❤️
Thank you!! Dr Berry, I have been watching so many different channels on utube. Getting mostly, confused. I love the simplicity of your teachings. Others have become commercials for food companies. You and Dr Westman are the ones I’m sticking with now. Thank you 😊!!!
Does it matter if you don’t eat the whole amounts of protein and good fats that is allowed. I find this extremely difficult.
Merrie Fairbanks look up Dr Eric Westman. He and Dr Berry make it pretty simple.
I found this way of eating several years ago (Butter Makes Your Pants Fall Off) and lost a lot of weight. Started craving a carb or three, and gained back about 20 pounds. Time to start again and go into my eighties in a slimmed down frame. Thanks Dr. Berry.
I was very impressed by Butter Bob Briggs too.
Me too! Many people think he abandoned RUclips because he failed and gained back his weight. You can find him on FB by searching Bob's Tennessee Street Plant Nursery. He still looks great.
The Legend Butter Bob! He was fantastic,I still recommend him for people who would benefit from his approach as his science explanations are easy to digest,bless him.
Yes!!!! That was the very first video I ever saw about the keto diet!
@@sherryYYC yes me too... got on KETO by first watching Butter Bob. Then found Dr Ken D Berry.
If you don't have a video talking the dangers of sugar, I would really like for you to make one. I think a lot of people do not know how dangerous sugar is.
I'm two and a half weeks in. Almost 20 lbs gone and skipping lunch today just because the cafeteria menu is lame today. Keto is legit.
I've been systematically working toward the "Sweet Spot" since after Thanksgiving dinner - 18 lbs ago. I didn't know about the peanut oil. One more thing off the shelf. Great video, thanks.
"Life partner that you can't stand to be around" 🤣 This will absolutely cause Chronic elevated Cortisol level.

Yepper, started keto by watching KETO 101 by Dr Berry in Oct 2019. Have lost 72 lbs, A1C from 7.3 to 5.1 and many other markers normalized or heading in the right direction. I have watched many vids since I started by Dr Berry as well as several others.THANK YA'LL !!! O yeah, I.m 71 years old so don't let age hold you back, you probably need it worse than younger folks , I know I DO/DID .
I really appreciate how you are breaking down the science as to why this way of eating works. This video is helpful in avoiding misconceptions and preconceived ideas of what this diet is after only hearing the word KETO. I have never seen such an improvement in my overall health and have lost more fat than I ever have in the past 8 months following your advice as well as some of the other good docs here on youtube. Thank you for everything you do, I look forward to every video and I appreciate your no-nonsense way of presenting the information.
Hi Dr. Berry, I'm a little desperate hoping for possibly your help or from one of your listeners.
My husband has been carnivore since October, 4- 1/2 months (Yay!). Multiple people at his work have been on diets or keto etc and have lost weight in upwards of 20+ pounds in a short amount of time. He has been strict and diligent and I'm so proud of him, 2 1/2 pounds of ribeye a day, mostly at lunch and the rest for dinner. Black coffee in the mornings. Prior to this he ate healthy & mostly organic but the typical standard American diet minus bread/grain. Needing to lose 50 lbs, he only lost 8. Is there anyone else that you know of that is struggling with the weight? ***We took his Labs before and after at about 2 months into being carnivore. They were awesome! So amazing! Perfectly healthy with cholesterol and A1c, etc. Just struggling with the weight and I do not want him to get discouraged. Is there anyone else that you know of that is struggling with the weight? (a lot of walking at work, and does not cheat) Any suggestions? God bless you so much ~ J :)
Hi Chuck, thanks for sharing!
I believe your husband is on a great path, he might just need to eat less. Caloric restriction is a sure-fire way to lose weight, I'm pretty sure this will work for him. But even if he keeps his weight, as long as his inflammation and body-fat is low, I believe he can be pretty healthy!
Wish you and your husband good luck on your health journey!
@@AlbertKingboss thank you from Chuck's wife 😊
Wow! It has taken me 2 years to learn all that info that you just condensed into an easily digestible 15 mins! Brilliant! TY!
I am a 68 year old lady.
I have never had to diet.
All of a sudden I have thyroid and SVT and prediabetes issues.
I pass out at random times and places.
I am losing weight. I do not need to lose weight.
September 5 I weighed 130 pounds at the doctor. That was a correct weight.
Today I weigh 118.
People around me comment on how thin I am.
I started eating low carb to bring my blood sugar down.
I have no fatigue and have good appetite.
How can I gain weight without eating carbs and sugars that are bad for diabetes?
You wanna gain weight just because people around you comments about your thin body? At age 68 you should just ignore those stupid comments and just enjoy the life you have left. The thing is you don't wanna gain weight as you get older you wanna build muscle.
Thanks Doc. Fat doesn't make you fat, takes a bit of self awakening but it's definitely a fact, proved it over two years now, never really hungry and enjoying IF to feel more energised.
Ive been thinking about keto on and off for many years now. I was worried to start because I heard it can make you feel pretty bad at first. But im at the point where it takes hours to get out of bed. So I am going to start because I cant feel much worse than I do now.
Another reason I was hesitant was because the longest living people in the world, in okinawa, have a lot of rice. Maybe all the fish and musbrooms they have counteract the negatives or theyre just more adapted to it than us
Gracias por el magnífico contenido con el que aprendo a vivir saludable y me esfuerzo por entender inglés. Saludos!
Thank you so much! I was getting retinol migraines and I went to the Dr and he said they were nothing to worry about. It was just a gliche in my brain. I was watching you on U tube and you said something about minerals for the brain. I took your mineral product and after 3 days they stopped. I am so grateful.
Can u remember which video it was or what minerals to take? I'm suffering terribly with headaches.🙏🙏🙏
Great vid thanks for the info. Just one small thing tho, I think you ought to promote the essential health benefits of Keto too. I have friends that aren't obese or even don't have much extra fat to burn but are unhealthy with issues such as Hashimoto's, fibromyalgia, IBS, fatigue which I know could be revered with the Keto diet. Not to mention T2D. I share a lot of your vids in the hope they will get the message and change their eating habits of a lifetime.
I’ve been doing carnivore past 2 weeks and reduced my carb to 0 intake.
Great video, thanks for share, best regards from Sinaloa, Mx
Very confused. You mention more than once there is no need to restrict calorie intake or portion size, yet you also advocate fasting. Fasting is pretty restrictive. I can't get any further than 17 hours of fasting. Which is better for weight loss?
Hi Diane, caloric restriction (eating less) will allow you to lose weight really fast. Fasting allows your body to tap into its own fat stores instead of relying on food. In short, I believe fasting is a healthier way to lose weight since you're burning fat and not slowing down your metabolism.
Dang there's that sleep thing again and I'm up right now at 2am watching this video
Motivating people with simple charming explanation, U r exception!!
Dr. Berry , I’m type 2 diabetic over weight with high blood pressure. I’ve been on a carnivore diet for several weeks now & haven’t lost any weight. In addition, my blood sugar stays elevated despite consuming little to no carbs. What am I doing wrong?
