This is my exact problem lost 45 lbs in almost two years, I want another ten to fifteen. I being fluctuating a couple lbs into the 180s but I need to be lower. This video is right on time
You are helping me sooooo much! I've been taking lots of notes. #1 My sister's and I have been walking...2 miles in the morning and 2 miles in the evening! Salad at noon with protein. Eating 12-7pm. I cut out sugar & carbs. Eating dark chocolate. I haven't tried cabbage and tuna yet but bought it! I'm 58 and feel 40!
I've lost 30 lbs by intermittent fasting and giving up most of my carbs. It took one year; most likely due to my age. After the first two months, I only lost 2 lbs. But I started because I was diagnosed with Diabetes Type 2 and I was more afraid of that, so I kept going. My doctor tells me that I reversed my Diabetes. Yes I have 15 lbs to go. Now I'm increasing my exercise in the morning. Been drinking an ACV bev for the last year. I've chosen this new lifestyle permanently. I lowered my expectations by not weighing myself or obsessing over it., but I also subscribed to this channel for support and followed his food advice. Also take all of the same supplements he recommended in this video. It only sounds like a lot to do. Now it's just routine. Thanks for all you do. This channel saved my life.
Good job. Keep up the good work. Would you like to share your Keto/ IF success story on my website? I'd be happy to see your story there. Feel free to upload your story here: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story
That's fantastic! Congratulations! Dr. Berg would love to hear about your success! Please use this link to upload your story: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story Dr. Berg's Support Team.
@@DrbergHey good morning to Dr Berg and Everyone, i want to know and get some knowledge on omad , im doing omad but im confused to how much to eat do i need to eat like close to 50 g of carbs(veggies,and salad) for that one meal ? And how much protein to eat for omad ,im little confused I've got the fat correct but everything else im uncertain..
Thank you Dr Berg 🙏 I started Keto and I.F 20:4 on September 10th, weight was 235 lbs, today December 20th I am 184 lbs. I don't find it hard at all. My goal weight is 150 lbs. Arthritis inflammation is down. Walking is easier. I am very happy 😊 I am full, never hungry or have cravings
wow!!! Im thrilled for you! Impressive prgress in a short time. What are you eating during non fasting hours? Regular food following his guide? (ie. half plate salad, quarter fat and quarter protein?)
thats so interesting! i was in pretty much the same situation, was weighing 243 lbs in may, now going into july im weighing 181 lbs. fasting, omad and keto together work wonders for the body
I want put down.just 10 kg after my children ,but I always have hungry And taste for sweets ,during the day ... I should try with Keto I guess and low care food.?
@@kristinalevine6096brew a cinnamon stick in the morning dilute it with your day amount of water, add few drops of home made vinegar or lemon in your first couple of water in the day.
EXERCISE!! I haven’t gone to the gym for 3 months; after 2 weeks I’m back to ground zero so now I will start with the treadmill for 15 min a day. Also I couldn’t stop eating for the past 2-3 months and this included so much junk food. I’m a vegetarian at 59 and sedentary which makes it a bit of a challenge, yet I see people my age or older running, walking, teaching a yoga class, etc. it’s about motivation and discipline. Good luck everyone!
It is encouraging to hear that 1lb a week for someone over 40 is a good weight loss, I'm down from 249 to 202... about 70 still to go... I need to remember not to be so hard on myself.
You want to weigh 132 pounds? Holy crap! I hope you're a 5'-4" woman. Either way, keep going. My ex-wife weighed about 265 when she began her weight loss regimen. Now she's down to 140 at 5'-5" and she looks fine. Remember, it's not whether you're overweight or not, it's whether you're over-fat. I'm 5'-10" at 188 with about 18% bodyfat. The doctors say I'm overweight but BMI doesn't take bodyfat percentage into consideration.
Dang! 20/4 is so good. I’m sitting here at 17 and this last hour is killing me!! 😂 I can usually do 16 no problem. I’ve lost 40 lbs in 6 months but this last 10 isn’t budging lol
Keto was a lifestyle choice for me in 2020. It was the best decision I ever made. In order to lose my last 10 lbs. I got on a more consistent schedule at the gym. I treadmill walk about 4 or 5 miles a week and lift weights (more weight, less reps) like you recommended. I’ll be 52 next month and I feel absolutely amazing. I feel 20 years old again and everyone tells me how great I look, which is really nice 😊I’m growing younger
I’m curious to know if your face suffered losing weight, I’m 44 and need to lose at least 10 lbs but my face is small and I’ve never liked how I looked thin because I tend to look gaunt and my hollows get worse. But I need to tone my lower body! 😢
I have insulin resistence from pcos. I am at 145lbs would like to be 135 to 125. i think I just need to be far more mindful of my carbs which i have been doing for the past month. I lost 3 lbs. A solid 3lbs. It doesn't sound like much but I am going in the right direction, Now I just have to stay consistent. Wish me luck!
Reduce carbs and do keto, improve sleep . I have chronic fatigue but started exercising and I give myself 2 days to recover, started 4 months ago exercising. I felt like I was getting no where, but yesterday I realised I could walk up a steep hill and wasnt out if breath. I will also start with vit d and zinc. Your advice is great. Thank you. Will let you know how the keto goes.
This is an awesome video!!! I am a health coach and fitness instructor, personal trainer. I am also over 50 and in menopause. This extra belly fat is so hard to lose and so discouraging when eating balanced and fit. I will do all these 10 steps myself and help other women with this! Great perfect explanation!
Love it!!! I've lost 75 pounds with all of the things you've mentioned in this video. I need to lose 18 more....stubborn fat. My hubby and I have completely changed the way we do life through these methods. I've basically learned everything I need to know about keto from your videos. Thank you!!!
highly disagree on needing to be sore after workout for several days. doms (delayed onset muscle soreness) from workout only lasts a day or two. when you're properly conditioned, exercising regularly and nourishing your body it's barely noticeable and often you feel more refreshed after you workout, or the workout itself solves feeling tired and sore. Also you should feel tired in the muscle belly, not bones or joints.
I think you have to take what he's saying in more context. And, I don't think, there's any disagreement. Thanks for the added value and insightful comment.
I must say thank you. Back in September I watched a few of your videos and found the motivation to start IF and Keto. Started it up on the 19th and after the first week I upped it to OMAD and clean keto. I'm down 40 pounds and look like I could be in the Army again. More importantly I feel great. Everyday my energy/alertness is tip top and my sleep has greatly improved. I think ill be keeping this up long term as i dont find it difficult at all. When someone asks me how I'm doing I confidently can say "life is good." Again...thank you.
@@eaterywithsandy2767lol watch dr. Berg & listen to his videos everyone does what he suggests , are you not listening to the video???🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤔im not trying to be rude but you don’t have to eat exactly what someone else is eating , just do what the dr says & what other ppl are doing it’s low carb, meats, veggies& oils 🙄🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️😅or learn more & google stuff& watch MORE of his videos !!!!🙄🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️eating what someone else is eating has NOTHING to do with it lol , your your own person& body & may like dif foods as well , lol
I am a 69yr old female who has gut issues, fatty liver and insulin resistance. As with many I struggle with stress and sleep challenges. Dr Berg has been my guide for several years but I keep “falling off the wagon” and this video inspires me to take baby steps and get back on. Not sure what order to address things so will fix gut and low stomach acid so I actually absorb supplements. Then address fatty liver and insulin resistance. Baby steps will hopefully avoid overwhelm and help keep me on track and moving forward.
I lost 40 pounds following Dr. Berg's videos. I seemed to have reached a plateau and had stopped losing weight. This video came just in time. My goal is 10 pounds away so I may do OMAD and prolonged fasting to see how that works out for me. One million thanks to Dr. Berg. I really appreciate all your help with these videos....🙂
@@michellelablue7 Yes, the OMAD routine helps quite a bit. I eat between 4PM - 8 PM. I don't do this every day, but when I do, it seems to reset my body in a positive way. I'm going to try to do OMAD more often.
1. keto. 2. more intermittent fasting. seriously...this, I feel, is the most important of all for me. 3. be less stressed about working out. 4. fixing lever...regular apple cider drinking.
Dr Berg I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving my life without ever having met you. I am so grateful for all of your videos that have taught people like me how to do the keto and fasting properly. It did in fact save my life! I had an abdominal hysterectomy done November 15th, I almost died on that table had it not have been for me changing my life with keto because I was very unhealthy before. I had to get a blood transfusion because I lost 4 pints of blood. I am now on liquid iron and back on keto and fasting. What types of vitamins, nutrients, and minerals should I be consuming?
It’s a great comparison with the guitar lesson. That’s what I tell my students. I also have benefited from your videos. Down 12 kg in 4 weeks. Loads of energy. Mixing OMAD and 2MAD. Healthy Keto. First 2 weeks I lost 8 kg so the last 2 weeks are more stable. I will try prolonged fasting once my numbers stand still. Thanks
Wow 12 kg in 4 weeks that’s an amazing result, congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I need to lose the last stubborn 5 kg mainly of belly and back fat, so you encouraged me!👍🏻
Dear Dr. Eric, I hit a plateau at 92 kgs and after a few days of stagnating at same weight in spite of Keto OMAD, I increased ACV dose to 2 spoons twice a day and also water intake to 4 liters per day, and that kicked me out of the plateau and back into weight loss again. Reporting at 90.5 kgs, willreport back next week.
Hello!! I started last Monday OMAD (one meal a day) so, fasting for 23hrs and eating ONE beautiful, preplanned meal and a high protein dessert (a bar made with goji berries nuts, coconut oil etc) all homemade I've lost 9.5lbs in 8 days. I eat only at 8am and I started doing an easy 10minute run after my week of adjusting to the meal change. I cover about 1.6 - 1.8km so my speed is maintained at 11km/h roughly. My mind is clear, I'm sharper, I'm up in a snap, 5am well rested. I get my chores done before the kids are awake and when they're off to school, I sit and enjoy my food slowly. I run after 2hrs of eating then I'm off to work in my studio ❤ I do have a goal in mind as I use to do weight lifting and use to run 8km 5x a week. I want to be that fit again.
I take D3 in the form of cod liver oil (which comes which a bunch of other benefits), but a liquid B1 made the BIGGEST difference for me. So much energy now and sleep is SO deep!
@@experimenthealthyketo83 Herb-Science is the brand I found on Amazon. 1 dropper is the dosage on the label. I figured out that that is about 15 drops, so I take 5 drops 3x throughout the day as I feel tired. So some days I need only 5 drops, others the full 15. 😊🍵🌸
@@experimenthealthyketo83 i have such poor digestion that I try to get as many supplements in liquid form as possible. Thankfully cod liver oil is already liquid in a capsule. 😂😊👍🤙
This list is going on my fridge and bathroom mirror. Over 60 so much stress. Injured shoulder tying to heal that. Working towards 2 meals a day and being able to exercise again. Dr. Berg thank you so much for your videos. This was inspirational. 2023 here I come! :)
Anyone can do any kind of exercise even if you start off little bit at a time in a bed or sitting in a chair & work your way up !!!!!! 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤔
Just walking - can you find an easy, in nature (any park-like environment) walking path you can get to easily - especially with a friend - for a 15-20 minute walk a few times a week to daily? Or, when the weather or YOU aren’t up to going outdoors, I love Leslie Sansone “Walk Away the Pounds” indoor, walk-in-place videos (DVD’s sold at Target in weights/sports aisle). Try to get outside though. It’s worth it to find a walking buddy and a trail you really like. Good luck! ;-)
Intermittent fasting has been the greatest factor for my weightloss. I just did a 48hr fast, and it has made me feel more energetic and positive. I am a father of a toddler so sleep is not my ally, but I mildy lift weights, for 30minutes, and cool off with some Yoga, and I don't feel exhausted at all.
Dr. Eric Berg's videos are so welcome. He gets right to the point. Everything is clear. Lists everything clearly. He says what is needed to be said in a 5 minute video when everyone else kicks the can down the road with 30 minute video. It is motivating to listen to him because his advice promotes eating healthy ways that is very easy to adapt to. Thank you!
I was fit, thin (54 kg) and could eat anything I wanted until I was 51 and hit menopause. Then my body comp seemed to changed overnight. I started weight training last year and just started 16/8 IF. I have SIBO and poor sleep. I no longer get sore after a weight session so I need to increase weight amounts.
Thank you for this dense and applicable suggestions dr.Berg. I started with 12 hours IF and have now step up the game to OMAD. It was hard at first because i usually tend to snack but within 1 week of IF my cravings were gone, i feel more energetic, and I don’t even feel tired when doing 12 hours work shifts and my sleeping disorder/insomnia is getting better. I am into my fourth week of IF now and I never weigh myself however I have experience non scale victories as I feel my endurance have improved and I fit better with clothings that are two sizes down. I always remember your words that the fat loss will begin from the internal parts of your body and that’s what keeps me going as I know that I will do good for my organs. Really appreciate your dedication to encourage us for a healthier lifestyle dr.Berg. God bless you always ❤
@@iameverydaylife1 Intermittent fasting is MUCH MUCH easier whrn on Keto, because the fat keeps you FULL for almost the whole day, whereas after eating a high carb meal, you are hungry after 2 hours.
I bet! Some of his videos on stress will help. Possibly, if you have a chance to talk to change children diet, watch Dr Berg’s videos on children nutrition. I’m sure some of the parents already started to use Dr Berg’s videos and may want to help other parents with this ❤
@@nevaali2434 I am also a committed teacher in a secondary school, so believe me, I get it.🤗 Let's get ready for next school year! Fighting! 😂 All the best from Santander, Spain.💝🍀🌈
Omg! I was actually struggling for that extra 5kgs from last one and half months, as i lost 25kgs in 6 months through your videos Dr.berg.And here you are once again to help me. Thanks a ton again. God bless you
Wow Doc! As usual, perfect timing. I am breaking through the dawn phenomenon by OMAD and keeping carbs close to zero. I have 10-15 lbs left to lose to be at my ideal weight 180 lbs. Down originally from 225, I've been stuck between 189-197 for 2 or more years. Even doing OMAD, but I wasn't doing HEALTHY Keto. I decided 2 days ago to get down to 185 by Christmas and I plan to do healthy Keto, OMAD, occasional extended fast, ACV/Lemon, Electrolytes and start exercising. Already down from 197 to 191 which is where my body seems to fight back. But I'm feeling great after getting into ketosis and I have more energy than I've had in months. BTW, long time diabetic T2 on Berberine, wish me luck, and thanks for another timely video.
@@donneone I think I quit metformin and started Berberine, but it's been about 7 years and I don't remember exactly. Just check your blood sugar before and after every meal and learn what spikes it. Mine could be good all day but 200 when I wake up. Hopefully healthy Keto will fix it.
Cold water immersion really helps to burn stubborn fat dramatically. It helps to convert metabolically-inactive 'white' fat cells into metabolically-active 'brown' fat cells.
Bed Pilates will take it all off in three solid months! I’m 59 and this is my third months… you lose inches as you tightened up your core and tone muscles. The results are mind blowing… you still have to alter your eating habits, but physically you’ll hit your mark much quicker…
Alternate day fasting is working wonders for me. As an all or nothing type of person, 18/6 or even omad gave me too much wiggle room to consume too many calories. Adf is usually about 36 hrs fasting followed by 12 hr feast (which is a normal 3 keto meals). I love it because it really gets me into fat burning, and if there's something I really want, I can just tell myself I can have it 2moro :)
@Debz awesome! I'd like to recommend Colleen Marie. Her channel really helped me start ADF and get through the mental aspects of prolonged fasting. Good luck!
4 all the workless ppl... I know it's difficult to reduce your stress, but think positive. Is better to be healthy than running to hospitals and doctors, just relax think positive (the most positive you can) and do as the Dr. Berg says. Health goes first in life. The rest are minor problems.
I read this book by Sun Tsu. I have heard that modern day Generals have used his strategies. We also can use them in our lives. I have been eating Keto for five years now, and vary my proteins, and have learned that eggs and salmon are what my body responds to the best. I eat my big meal at 11:00 a.m. and maybe a handful of nuts before bed. I am an eight hour sleeper; always have been. I was a size 3 through my thirties, then weight started to pile on. If only i knew about Keto in my early 40’s! I tell everyone how important it is to allow your body time to digest and heal, by fasting at least 12 hours. At 62, i am a size 6, and am fitting in my clothes from the 90’s; (I had saved the favorite pieces). Along with my salad, i eat a little of the cruciferous vegetables, because they are so filling. I don’t bother with Keto cakes, cookies, etc. because i am so full by the time I’m done with my meal, i simply cannot. I have started to exercise (mostly stretching and calisthenics), as i can no longer do weights, or run, due to having a triple aneurysm and a small stroke in 2015. I thank you for completely helping me with the issues of weight. Blessings to you, Dr. Berg.
I weighed about 128 in my early 50s, by the time I reached 64 I weighed 146.That's when I said something has to change. With prayer and IF now at 65 I weigh 110 and holding. I weighed 112 when I married 31 years ago. I also held on to some favs and it feels good to be able to wear them again.
Hi Dr. Berg..went from a 38inch waist down to a 32inch waist on IF doing OMAD 5 days a week.. finding it hard to do the 48 hr fast over the weekend because I'm home, and the wife loves to cook..What has helped also helped me a lot is cycling about 45 Kms to work and back 2 or 3 times a week..this has sped up the weight loss significantly.. finding it very hard on the days that I cycle to do IF or OMAD..the exercise really takes a lot out of me.. hadn't really started taking supplements since I started, but I know I need my trace minerals, electrolytes, zinc and B vitamins..thanks for all the helpful info and amazing insight into the human body.. understand how our body works has helped me understand how IF and ultimately loosing weight works..not to mention all the other many benefits, including mood, mental clarity, endless energy etc. Love you Dr. Berg and thank you again ♥️
What pushed me through a plateau was: longer fasts of 48 and 72 hours while reducing stress and improving sleep. I thus achieved my weight goal in 25 months of healthy Keto & IF. Having done that, I just set my *new* weight goal to be 12 pounds lower (why not) which I expect to be possible in 1 year's time, applying these 10 steps you listed. Thank you for this.
I have been stuck at the same weight for 3 weeks now and it just won't budge I'm going to incorporate 48 & 72hr water fasts into my week. Hopefully this will shift the remaining weight.
@@M.J.R83 My first 30 pounds were "easy" if people think following Keto & IF & exercise are easy. That took about 2 years. The next 30 pounds were progressively more difficult even though I learned alot more. Now that I've achieved the goal (BMI, weight, metabolic healing, etc.), I know the next 12 pounds (to my new "why not" goal) will take me to a new place requiring more discipline. I am patient and will push through.
I am hopeful and following these tips. Really want to keep my inflammation down and heal my endometriosis. My goal is to get off this horrible birth control .
I have not finish watching the video but if I been listening to the other videos: Cut down all sugars in all its forms and do interim fast 16/8 or 20/4(aggressive) and walk be consistent.
This video covers every question, it's very useful. Thank you Dr Berg for putting all of this in one video. We all face stressful situations throughout our lives, ranging from minor annoyances like traffic jams to more serious worries, such as a loved one's grave illness.
Really appreciate these videos Dr. Berg. I've hit my target weight for the end of the year, and am feeling a whole lot better. A few tips and reminders to help get through those last stubborn 5lbs are really helpful (I'd forgotten about apple cider vinegar and cinnamon) Have a great week, Cheers
I’m currently in the middle of 75 hard, down 33lbs. Been low carb and intermittent fasting every day. I do full body resistance training once a day, and I have yet to feel sore. My guess is that I’m keeping my protein intake up so my muscles can repair more easily. I will say that everything on this list makes sense.
I think you need to change your workout. Guessing your body has plateau and that is why you aren't sore. The protein intake has nothing to do with lack of soreness
II lost 35 pounds with IF and low carbs.I'm 62 and I do have that stubborn 5-10 pounds in my lower abdomen and I have just started exercising that part of my body. I knew intuitively my diet did not suffice. Thank you for all you do, you are absolutely vital for my health. From Canada with love!
Getting healthy first is paramount. I'm not a big believer in the keto diet; but I did work myself to one meal a day over the course of a month. With exercise; I started in the gym lifting weights at a gradual pace to get my heart working again in a controlled environment. But I was working my way back to running again (which is my favorite). Now; still doing OMAD, running 35 miles a week. I was 230 lbs four months ago when I started all of this; now I'm at 178 lbs and running like I did in my 20s. Thank you Dr. Berg. The fasting advice was really the catalyst in getting back on the right track
@kingogames If you're pacing yourself it's not. I'm not training for a marathon or anything. I try to stay at a 12 minute mile pace. I don't even breathe hard while doing it. It's pretty relaxing
I'm actually in that final stage of losing weight and I face some of these probs, the worst are stress, and the other prob is finding keto alternatives when I'm on the go and there is no time to prepare keto snacks before leaving, yet I will try to stick to OMAD for the next 2 weeks. Thanks for the info Dr Berg 😊
I am same, 3 years keto, healthy and slim but I wanted to show my abs. I went carnivore and losing 1 kg a week. I find it easier not to cheat or snack. I will continue carnivore until my abs show.
@@jimbeaver27 as a woman all I want is to become slimer, having a perfect body is not of my intentions, actually my husband is happy with my current weight 😅 yet all I need is a bit of toning.
I want to :Improve my sleep. :Keep reducing more stress. (I have a several cronic illness I've been trying to recover from over the last 4 years and have tried everything so far) Kat xx
You are in the right place… Exercise is a great stress reliever for me. A brisk, 30 minute walk thru the park really works for me. Sometimes I listen to a podcast, but mostly I unplug and just take in nature. The walking also burns extra fuel I have. Some times I’ll walk for an hour… I usually sleep great after a day with plenty of steps. ✌🏽
@@HarrisonCountyStudio I work out 6 times per week I walk 50 mins per day. I'm blind in day light so I can only walk inside most of the time. I also so weights and circuit training 3 times per week. So I'm definitely getting enough exercise lol
I hear so much derision online against keto. I understand, it’s extreme. But nothing has ever removed my craving for food other than keto & IF. I always thought I was just weak, or a slave to my emotions or childhood issues. Keto is freedom of food addiction.
Dr Berg, I really appreciate the time stamps, and clearly noted and summarized subject details you put in the Data Description box. You give us so much useful information, and being able to go back and easily find where you presented certain info using the guide is very helpful. Thanks for all you do for our health and lifestyle.
Thank you so much for this information! I'm going to work on a few of these that I haven't been doing. I'm 64, female, and about 3 months ago I was 190 pounds. Kind of resigned to not losing weight since I had tried natural ways to no avail. Then I heard about your Baja Gold salt. I started using it in my food, but also nibbling on it whenever I felt hungry. To my surprise I lost five pounds! At first I thought the scale was broken! I've kept up eating better, usually 1-2 small meals daily and the the salt. I'm now at 165! I'm forever grateful for your Baja Gold salt!!!
@@brandym2099 I did wind sprints. Instead of my usual 30 minute jog, I took the last 15 minutes and sprinted all out for 15 seconds, then walked for 45 seconds. Repeated this for 15 minutes. It helps to have a watch with seconds. I did this 2 to 3 times per week. My body needs a few days afterward to recover.
So I continue to watch and learn from your videos. This is my next challenge. However… I’m not on day 42 of a carnivore diet. By day 26 I lost 6kg. That’s now plateaued so no further loss and it’s stubborn. I will now improve my sleep I will now increase my exercise. The weight loss above was solely down to carni/keto diet. I will try to structure my meals better to build in clear IF time. I feel alive, I am starting to Live again, my energy is more balanced and consistent. I have not cheated once in 42 days… first 14 days was so hard but what’s so cool is everyone’s saying my skin is so good and I am happier. Thank you Doctor… I’m so grateful for you help education if me to live a healthier life.
Such good information! Especially in the beginning of this video! Thank you so much for all you do, @Dr. Eric Berg! Looking forward to the other videos on this topic.
thank you dr. Berg... I did loose many kgs thanks to IF and healthy keto, in the past 15months, and I am exactly in the position to have to loose the last ones, but also I feel that I am not yet on point with something because I am not getting other benefits. I am focusing a lot on health on all levels and I think it does take more time, I think my mental health is the biggest obstacle, also for the last weight, a very high level of stress and depression...I am not giving up but it's so tough...I need to rewatch this and go deeper into tweaking some things.
Dr. Berg thank you so much I have always battled with losing weight. I recently had a fatty liver but after doing the Kefir,Kale, and blueberry smoothie 14-day detox I no longer have a fatty liver. I've dropped 20 pounds in 30 days!!! You are such a blessing sir and I can't wait to lose the extra 30 pounds. I have never felt so healthy. -Blessings!!
hi doctor, thank you for this video. is intermittent fasting recommended for those who has acid reflux? i want to try this program but i'm afraid it'll irritate my digestive system.
Excellent video. Straight to point everything covered. Although i dont do Keto but your information has been really helpful. I do intermitten fasting and low carb.
I was just curious is there anyone on here blown away by Dr. Eric Berg? I have spent so much on doctors to help find out what is going on with me and do a lot of blood work and find nothing wrong. And still get no help. I am truly amazed by this incredible information and concise. I need to focus on letting go of stress and blue light. Lowering my carb intake. I am so grateful for Dr. Eric Berg and helping me and many others to overcome health conditions!!
Adding a sleep emphasis has REALLY helped. I'm also going to add a B1 and probiotic supplement, along with the D, zing that I'm taking. I'm going to look at adding fermented veggies into my diet as well. We'll see. I'm stuck at 244 lbs right now, down from 270 libs with some nice muscle showing now.
Thank you so much for all the invaluable wisdom you pass along to help ppl. Anyone health conscious I put them on to your channel! My goal is to burn fat, but maintain my muscle mass through a fast. Could you recommend something other than vitamins and a little salt that wouldn’t break the fast? I identify with a lot of points you shared. It’s that last 10-15 I want to loose. If you already made a video regarding fasting while maintaining or at least growing muscle mass apologizes
Intermittent fasting has been an amazing health experience for me. I do 16 hours no food. Then once a month I’ll do 1 day no food. I drink lots of water and when I do eat I make sure it’s veggie/fruit fat and protein. I sleep great and feel really great.
Lately having a discussion with a friend who was on losing weight, we both truly agreed that eating right/fasting is the fastest way to lose weight. Exercise didn't contribute that much for cutting fat.
Thank you Dr. Berg! I saw this and knew it was for me because I have EXACTLY 13 pounds of the last stubborn fat on my belly to get to 100 pounds down! ha! I would love to hear you talk more about exercise. I've lost 88 pounds with only walking, Keto + IF so in 2023 I want to start strength training but I don't really know what the best way is to go about it.
There is a lot of RUclips training videos you could check out, but probably the best way is to sign up to a Personal Trainer for a month or two to learn the basics and correct techniques and follow your own program from there. Consistency is King (or Queen) Good luck.
Strength training will build muscle and burn more energy all day ,(including when you sleep. If you are older, building muscle will be even more beneficial, as you lose 10% muscle mass every decade as an adult.
CONGRATULATIONS on all Your hard work! You are taking great care of Yourself & You are worth it!! I know You will find just what You need to finish Your journey to ideal health! I think a picture of You for this video thumbnail would make it much more believable than a pic of a woman who has no weight to loose & looks as if she Never has had any... I feel insulted & not sure I can believe anything said in this video. I have lost 60lbs & still have 13 to loose also... but I sure don't look like that!!! Click bait?? Regardless, Thank You for sharing Your success as a real person!!

You are the easiest person to listen to on the Internet. Nailed it Eric Berg! Love listening to you.
Absolutely
Dr Berg REALLy IS a good speaker & easy to undertand
I've lost 30 lbs by intermittent fasting and giving up most of my carbs. It took one year; most likely due to my age. After the first two months, I only lost 2 lbs. But I started because I was diagnosed with Diabetes Type 2 and I was more afraid of that, so I kept going. My doctor tells me that I reversed my Diabetes. Yes I have 15 lbs to go. Now I'm increasing my exercise in the morning. Been drinking an ACV bev for the last year. I've chosen this new lifestyle permanently. I lowered my expectations by not weighing myself or obsessing over it., but I also subscribed to this channel for support and followed his food advice. Also take all of the same supplements he recommended in this video. It only sounds like a lot to do. Now it's just routine. Thanks for all you do. This channel saved my life.
Good job. Keep up the good work. Would you like to share your Keto/ IF success story on my website? I'd be happy to see your story there. Feel free to upload your story here: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story
Thanks Doc. It’s been about 3 years since your Keto seminar…lost 130 lbs and still at 185-190 lbs. Life’s good.

@@DrbergHey good morning to Dr Berg and Everyone, i want to know and get some knowledge on omad , im doing omad but im confused to how much to eat do i need to eat like close to 50 g of carbs(veggies,and salad) for that one meal ? And how much protein to eat for omad ,im little confused I've got the fat correct but everything else im uncertain..
Thank you Dr Berg 🙏 I started Keto and I.F 20:4 on September 10th, weight was 235 lbs, today December 20th I am 184 lbs. I don't find it hard at all. My goal weight is 150 lbs. Arthritis inflammation is down. Walking is easier. I am very happy 😊 I am full, never hungry or have cravings
wow!!! Im thrilled for you! Impressive prgress in a short time. What are you eating during non fasting hours? Regular food following his guide? (ie. half plate salad, quarter fat and quarter protein?)
thats so interesting! i was in pretty much the same situation, was weighing 243 lbs in may, now going into july im weighing 181 lbs. fasting, omad and keto together work wonders for the body
I want put down.just 10 kg after my children ,but I always have hungry And taste for sweets ,during the day ...
I should try with Keto I guess and low care food.?
@@kristinalevine6096brew a cinnamon stick in the morning dilute it with your day amount of water, add few drops of home made vinegar or lemon in your first couple of water in the day.
That's wonderful but sadly I have doubts that you've still kept it off. It just seems to happen that way.
EXERCISE!! I haven’t gone to the gym for 3 months; after 2 weeks I’m back to ground zero so now I will start with the treadmill for 15 min a day. Also I couldn’t stop eating for the past 2-3 months and this included so much junk food.
I’m a vegetarian at 59 and sedentary which makes it a bit of a challenge, yet I see people my age or older running, walking, teaching a yoga class, etc. it’s about motivation and discipline.
Good luck everyone!
It is encouraging to hear that 1lb a week for someone over 40 is a good weight loss, I'm down from 249 to 202... about 70 still to go... I need to remember not to be so hard on myself.
yes you are doing amazing!
I only lose like a pound or two a month at 42 and usually it’s the week of a period! Kinda crazy been so so slow for me
You want to weigh 132 pounds? Holy crap! I hope you're a 5'-4" woman. Either way, keep going. My ex-wife weighed about 265 when she began her weight loss regimen. Now she's down to 140 at 5'-5" and she looks fine. Remember, it's not whether you're overweight or not, it's whether you're over-fat. I'm 5'-10" at 188 with about 18% bodyfat. The doctors say I'm overweight but BMI doesn't take bodyfat percentage into consideration.
You got this =) Like you said be kind to yourself.
I lost 12 cm and 6 kg in some 8 month ☺️age 66
you changed my life Dr, I lost 25 LB in 2.5 months by intermittent fasting and I do 20/4. you simply great and GOD bless you
Dang! 20/4 is so good. I’m sitting here at 17 and this last hour is killing me!! 😂
I can usually do 16 no problem.
I’ve lost 40 lbs in 6 months but this last 10 isn’t budging lol
Keto was a lifestyle choice for me in 2020. It was the best decision I ever made. In order to lose my last 10 lbs. I got on a more consistent schedule at the gym. I treadmill walk about 4 or 5 miles a week and lift weights (more weight, less reps) like you recommended. I’ll be 52 next month and I feel absolutely amazing. I feel 20 years old again and everyone tells me how great I look, which is really nice 😊I’m growing younger
That is fantastic! I was curious how grams of carbs do you eat daily?
@@carrielegg5480if u have a hard time try under 50 if not so hard go to 21 or under !!!!
I’m curious to know if your face suffered losing weight, I’m 44 and need to lose at least 10 lbs but my face is small and I’ve never liked how I looked thin because I tend to look gaunt and my hollows get worse. But I need to tone my lower body! 😢
I have insulin resistence from pcos. I am at 145lbs would like to be 135 to 125. i think I just need to be far more mindful of my carbs which i have been doing for the past month. I lost 3 lbs. A solid 3lbs. It doesn't sound like much but I am going in the right direction, Now I just have to stay consistent. Wish me luck!
Good luck Lisa!
Honestly that’s pretty great for PCOS!
Have you tried spearmint to reduce androgens?
I have PCOS from insulin resistance**
Reduce carbs and do keto, improve sleep . I have chronic fatigue but started exercising and I give myself 2 days to recover, started 4 months ago exercising. I felt like I was getting no where, but yesterday I realised I could walk up a steep hill and wasnt out if breath. I will also start with vit d and zinc. Your advice is great. Thank you. Will let you know how the keto goes.
Thanks Doc. It’s been about 3 years since your Keto seminar…lost 130 lbs and still at 185-190 lbs. Life’s good
That’s incredible! Congratulations on your transformation! So glad to hear life is going well!
This is an awesome video!!! I am a health coach and fitness instructor, personal trainer. I am also over 50 and in menopause. This extra belly fat is so hard to lose and so discouraging when eating balanced and fit. I will do all these 10 steps myself and help other women with this! Great perfect explanation!
Biggest ones for me are :
1. Getting good sea salt.
2. Prolonged fasting
3. 25 - 30 min exercise with 3 days of rest.
4. Trying out 10 hours of sleep.
Impossible to sleep after a month of IF on OMAD diet
Any tips?
@@sidjohnson1776Exercise more.
Love it!!! I've lost 75 pounds with all of the things you've mentioned in this video. I need to lose 18 more....stubborn fat. My hubby and I have completely changed the way we do life through these methods. I've basically learned everything I need to know about keto from your videos. Thank you!!!
When you lose weight do you lose belly fat as well ?
This is so encouraging!
highly disagree on needing to be sore after workout for several days. doms (delayed onset muscle soreness) from workout only lasts a day or two. when you're properly conditioned, exercising regularly and nourishing your body it's barely noticeable and often you feel more refreshed after you workout, or the workout itself solves feeling tired and sore. Also you should feel tired in the muscle belly, not bones or joints.
I think you have to take what he's saying in more context. And, I don't think, there's any disagreement. Thanks for the added value and insightful comment.
@@KDBunchI am sore all the time after every workout. Sometimes I quit for a while just because I'm tired of being sore.
@@SB-ol8zznot eating enough protein to give your muscles supplement to repair
I must say thank you. Back in September I watched a few of your videos and found the motivation to start IF and Keto. Started it up on the 19th and after the first week I upped it to OMAD and clean keto. I'm down 40 pounds and look like I could be in the Army again. More importantly I feel great. Everyday my energy/alertness is tip top and my sleep has greatly improved. I think ill be keeping this up long term as i dont find it difficult at all. When someone asks me how I'm doing I confidently can say "life is good." Again...thank you.

I am a 69yr old female who has gut issues, fatty liver and insulin resistance. As with many I struggle with stress and sleep challenges. Dr Berg has been my guide for several years but I keep “falling off the wagon” and this video inspires me to take baby steps and get back on. Not sure what order to address things so will fix gut and low stomach acid so I actually absorb supplements. Then address fatty liver and insulin resistance. Baby steps will hopefully avoid overwhelm and help keep me on track and moving forward.
At 69 don't wait please
I lost 40 pounds following Dr. Berg's videos. I seemed to have reached a plateau and had stopped losing weight. This video came just in time. My goal is 10 pounds away so I may do OMAD and prolonged fasting to see how that works out for me. One million thanks to Dr. Berg. I really appreciate all your help with these videos....🙂
He made earlier ones that helped lots of people also to break through a plateau ❤
Did you manage to get out of your plateau?
Did you end up applying anything & doing it ????
@paulg123
@@michellelablue7 Yes, the OMAD routine helps quite a bit. I eat between 4PM - 8 PM. I don't do this every day, but when I do, it seems to reset my body in a positive way. I'm going to try to do OMAD more often.
1. keto. 2. more intermittent fasting. seriously...this, I feel, is the most important of all for me. 3. be less stressed about working out. 4. fixing lever...regular apple cider drinking.
Dr Berg I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving my life without ever having met you. I am so grateful for all of your videos that have taught people like me how to do the keto and fasting properly. It did in fact save my life! I had an abdominal hysterectomy done November 15th, I almost died on that table had it not have been for me changing my life with keto because I was very unhealthy before. I had to get a blood transfusion because I lost 4 pints of blood. I am now on liquid iron and back on keto and fasting. What types of vitamins, nutrients, and minerals should I be consuming?
His videos on iron supplements & foods should help already as well his videos on nutrients ❤
@@experimenthealthyketo83 ahh ty and God bless you all. Happy Holidays!!!
It’s a great comparison with the guitar lesson. That’s what I tell my students.
I also have benefited from your videos.
Down 12 kg in 4 weeks. Loads of energy. Mixing OMAD and 2MAD. Healthy Keto. First 2 weeks I lost 8 kg so the last 2 weeks are more stable.
I will try prolonged fasting once my numbers stand still.
Thanks
Wow 12 kg in 4 weeks that’s an amazing result, congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I need to lose the last stubborn 5 kg mainly of belly and back fat, so you encouraged me!👍🏻
@@wonderwoman95it depends on the initial weight. I hope you understand that.
Dear Dr. Eric, I hit a plateau at 92 kgs and after a few days of stagnating at same weight in spite of Keto OMAD, I increased ACV dose to 2 spoons twice a day and also water intake to 4 liters per day, and that kicked me out of the plateau and back into weight loss again. Reporting at 90.5 kgs, willreport back next week.
Hello!! I started last Monday OMAD (one meal a day) so, fasting for 23hrs and eating ONE beautiful, preplanned meal and a high protein dessert (a bar made with goji berries nuts, coconut oil etc) all homemade
I've lost 9.5lbs in 8 days. I eat only at 8am and I started doing an easy 10minute run after my week of adjusting to the meal change. I cover about 1.6 - 1.8km so my speed is maintained at 11km/h roughly.
My mind is clear, I'm sharper, I'm up in a snap, 5am well rested. I get my chores done before the kids are awake and when they're off to school, I sit and enjoy my food slowly. I run after 2hrs of eating then I'm off to work in my studio ❤
I do have a goal in mind as I use to do weight lifting and use to run 8km 5x a week. I want to be that fit again.
Great 👍 ❤
I take D3 in the form of cod liver oil (which comes which a bunch of other benefits), but a liquid B1 made the BIGGEST difference for me. So much energy now and sleep is SO deep!
Interesting. I never tried this. What’s the brand? Dosage?
@@experimenthealthyketo83 Herb-Science is the brand I found on Amazon. 1 dropper is the dosage on the label. I figured out that that is about 15 drops, so I take 5 drops 3x throughout the day as I feel tired. So some days I need only 5 drops, others the full 15. 😊🍵🌸
@@Storm_Lily Ok, I found it. I never experienced a liquid one. Thanks.
@@experimenthealthyketo83 i have such poor digestion that I try to get as many supplements in liquid form as possible. Thankfully cod liver oil is already liquid in a capsule. 😂😊👍🤙
I'm curious about how its helped your sleep
This list is going on my fridge and bathroom mirror. Over 60 so much stress. Injured shoulder tying to heal that. Working towards 2 meals a day and being able to exercise again.
Dr. Berg thank you so much for your videos. This was inspirational. 2023 here I come! :)
Explains why I lose weight when I drink a lot. (assuming I don't eat loads)... I'm just so much more relaxed lol
I am a Wellness Educator, I have something that could help you heal that shoulder and reduce stress - no chemicals, a wearable light technology.
Anyone can do any kind of exercise even if you start off little bit at a time in a bed or sitting in a chair & work your way up !!!!!! 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤔
That's a good idea :)
Just walking - can you find an easy, in nature (any park-like environment) walking path you can get to easily - especially with a friend - for a 15-20 minute walk a few times a week to daily?
Or, when the weather or YOU aren’t up to going outdoors, I love Leslie Sansone “Walk Away the Pounds” indoor, walk-in-place videos (DVD’s sold at Target in weights/sports aisle).
Try to get outside though. It’s worth it to find a walking buddy and a trail you really like.
Good luck! ;-)
Intermittent fasting has been the greatest factor for my weightloss. I just did a 48hr fast, and it has made me feel more energetic and positive. I am a father of a toddler so sleep is not my ally, but I mildy lift weights, for 30minutes, and cool off with some Yoga, and I don't feel exhausted at all.
❤Thank you teacher for not giving up
Dr. Eric Berg's videos are so welcome. He gets right to the point. Everything is clear. Lists everything clearly. He says what is needed to be said in a 5 minute video when everyone else kicks the can down the road with 30 minute video. It is motivating to listen to him because his advice promotes eating healthy ways that is very easy to adapt to. Thank you!
I was fit, thin (54 kg) and could eat anything I wanted until I was 51 and hit menopause. Then my body comp seemed to changed overnight. I started weight training last year and just started 16/8 IF. I have SIBO and poor sleep. I no longer get sore after a weight session so I need to increase weight amounts.
I suggest each Dr Berg’s videos on menopause, tocotrienols, SIBO, especially keto carnivore and how to fast correctly ❤
Thank you for this dense and applicable suggestions dr.Berg. I started with 12 hours IF and have now step up the game to OMAD. It was hard at first because i usually tend to snack but within 1 week of IF my cravings were gone, i feel more energetic, and I don’t even feel tired when doing 12 hours work shifts and my sleeping disorder/insomnia is getting better. I am into my fourth week of IF now and I never weigh myself however I have experience non scale victories as I feel my endurance have improved and I fit better with clothings that are two sizes down. I always remember your words that the fat loss will begin from the internal parts of your body and that’s what keeps me going as I know that I will do good for my organs. Really appreciate your dedication to encourage us for a healthier lifestyle dr.Berg. God bless you always ❤
Do you do keto as well? Or OMAD/IF only?
@@iameverydaylife1 Intermittent fasting is MUCH MUCH easier whrn on Keto, because the fat keeps you FULL for almost the whole day, whereas after eating a high carb meal, you are hungry after 2 hours.
Reducing Stress is my biggest challenge. I suffer burnout regularly from teaching in a secondary school.
I bet! Some of his videos on stress will help.
Possibly, if you have a chance to talk to change children diet, watch Dr Berg’s videos on children nutrition. I’m sure some of the parents already started to use Dr Berg’s videos and may want to help other parents with this ❤

Wow Doc! As usual, perfect timing. I am breaking through the dawn phenomenon by OMAD and keeping carbs close to zero. I have 10-15 lbs left to lose to be at my ideal weight 180 lbs. Down originally from 225, I've been stuck between 189-197 for 2 or more years. Even doing OMAD, but I wasn't doing HEALTHY Keto. I decided 2 days ago to get down to 185 by Christmas and I plan to do healthy Keto, OMAD, occasional extended fast, ACV/Lemon, Electrolytes and start exercising. Already down from 197 to 191 which is where my body seems to fight back. But I'm feeling great after getting into ketosis and I have more energy than I've had in months. BTW, long time diabetic T2 on Berberine, wish me luck, and thanks for another timely video.
Good luck! It really does work
Did you start using Berberine while on Metformin, or quit Metformin completely before starting on Berberine? Good luck. You are doing great.
@@donneone I think I quit metformin and started Berberine, but it's been about 7 years and I don't remember exactly. Just check your blood sugar before and after every meal and learn what spikes it. Mine could be good all day but 200 when I wake up. Hopefully healthy Keto will fix it.
What do you eat per day?
Darling, please please, address the menopause and what us hot ladies should be doing, we are sweating, AGGRESSIVE and ready to kill - please,help us.

Going to focus on fatty liver and insulin resistance. All of this makes incredible sense; no dr would ever tell you this!! Thank you very much!!
Bed Pilates will take it all off in three solid months! I’m 59 and this is my third months… you lose inches as you tightened up your core and tone muscles. The results are mind blowing… you still have to alter your eating habits, but physically you’ll hit your mark much quicker…
Alternate day fasting is working wonders for me. As an all or nothing type of person, 18/6 or even omad gave me too much wiggle room to consume too many calories. Adf is usually about 36 hrs fasting followed by 12 hr feast (which is a normal 3 keto meals). I love it because it really gets me into fat burning, and if there's something I really want, I can just tell myself I can have it 2moro :)
@Debz awesome! I'd like to recommend Colleen Marie. Her channel really helped me start ADF and get through the mental aspects of prolonged fasting. Good luck!
I get so tired and have a hard time thinking at work with adf
" if there's something I really want, I can just tell myself I can have it 2moro :)" That is a helpful way to think about it. Thanks!

I read this book by Sun Tsu. I have heard that modern day Generals have used his strategies. We also can use them in our lives. I have been eating Keto for five years now, and vary my proteins, and have learned that eggs and salmon are what my body responds to the best. I eat my big meal at 11:00 a.m. and maybe a handful of nuts before bed. I am an eight hour sleeper; always have been. I was a size 3 through my thirties, then weight started to pile on. If only i knew about Keto in my early 40’s! I tell everyone how important it is to allow your body time to digest and heal, by fasting at least 12 hours. At 62, i am a size 6, and am fitting in my clothes from the 90’s; (I had saved the favorite pieces). Along with my salad, i eat a little of the cruciferous vegetables, because they are so filling. I don’t bother with Keto cakes, cookies, etc. because i am so full by the time I’m done with my meal, i simply cannot. I have started to exercise (mostly stretching and calisthenics), as i can no longer do weights, or run, due to having a triple aneurysm and a small stroke in 2015. I thank you for completely helping me with the issues of weight. Blessings to you, Dr. Berg.
I weighed about 128 in my early 50s, by the time I reached 64 I weighed 146.That's when I said something has to change. With prayer and IF now at 65 I weigh 110 and holding. I weighed 112 when I married 31 years ago. I also held on to some favs and it feels good to be able to wear them again.
Hi Dr. Berg..went from a 38inch waist down to a 32inch waist on IF doing OMAD 5 days a week.. finding it hard to do the 48 hr fast over the weekend because I'm home, and the wife loves to cook..What has helped also helped me a lot is cycling about 45 Kms to work and back 2 or 3 times a week..this has sped up the weight loss significantly.. finding it very hard on the days that I cycle to do IF or OMAD..the exercise really takes a lot out of me.. hadn't really started taking supplements since I started, but I know I need my trace minerals, electrolytes, zinc and B vitamins..thanks for all the helpful info and amazing insight into the human body.. understand how our body works has helped me understand how IF and ultimately loosing weight works..not to mention all the other many benefits, including mood, mental clarity, endless energy etc. Love you Dr. Berg and thank you again ♥️
Im gonna start doing exercises and diet thank you
My weight is the same as it was when I was in high school sixty years ago. It's just hanging a little lower on the tree.
What pushed me through a plateau was: longer fasts of 48 and 72 hours while reducing stress and improving sleep. I thus achieved my weight goal in 25 months of healthy Keto & IF. Having done that, I just set my *new* weight goal to be 12 pounds lower (why not) which I expect to be possible in 1 year's time, applying these 10 steps you listed. Thank you for this.
I have been stuck at the same weight for 3 weeks now and it just won't budge I'm going to incorporate 48 & 72hr water fasts into my week. Hopefully this will shift the remaining weight.
@@M.J.R83 My first 30 pounds were "easy" if people think following Keto & IF & exercise are easy. That took about 2 years. The next 30 pounds were progressively more difficult even though I learned alot more. Now that I've achieved the goal (BMI, weight, metabolic healing, etc.), I know the next 12 pounds (to my new "why not" goal) will take me to a new place requiring more discipline. I am patient and will push through.
I am patient to avoid becoming a patient.
Awesome 👏 ❤thanks for sharing ❤
@@M.J.R83 I suggest you use Dr Berg’s videos on how to fast correctly for better success and to avoid issues ❤
I am doing great with low carb / keto, so far I lost 18 kilos in 5 months, still 7 kilos to go.
I am hopeful and following these tips.
Really want to keep my inflammation down and heal my endometriosis. My goal is to get off this horrible birth control .
I have not finish watching the video but if I been listening to the other videos: Cut down all sugars in all its forms and do interim fast 16/8 or 20/4(aggressive) and walk be consistent.
This video covers every question, it's very useful. Thank you Dr Berg for putting all of this in one video. We all face stressful situations throughout our lives, ranging from minor annoyances like traffic jams to more serious worries, such as a loved one's grave illness.
Really appreciate these videos Dr. Berg. I've hit my target weight for the end of the year, and am feeling a whole lot better. A few tips and reminders to help get through those last stubborn 5lbs are really helpful (I'd forgotten about apple cider vinegar and cinnamon) Have a great week, Cheers
I’m currently in the middle of 75 hard, down 33lbs. Been low carb and intermittent fasting every day. I do full body resistance training once a day, and I have yet to feel sore. My guess is that I’m keeping my protein intake up so my muscles can repair more easily. I will say that everything on this list makes sense.
I think you need to change your workout. Guessing your body has plateau and that is why you aren't sore. The protein intake has nothing to do with lack of soreness
How many times a day of teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in water?
II lost 35 pounds with IF and low carbs.I'm 62 and I do have that stubborn 5-10 pounds in my lower abdomen and I have just started exercising that part of my body. I knew intuitively my diet did not suffice. Thank you for all you do, you are absolutely vital for my health. From Canada with love!
Getting healthy first is paramount. I'm not a big believer in the keto diet; but I did work myself to one meal a day over the course of a month.
With exercise; I started in the gym lifting weights at a gradual pace to get my heart working again in a controlled environment. But I was working my way back to running again (which is my favorite).
Now; still doing OMAD, running 35 miles a week.
I was 230 lbs four months ago when I started all of this; now I'm at 178 lbs and running like I did in my 20s.
Thank you Dr. Berg. The fasting advice was really the catalyst in getting back on the right track
I think you're running too much. Chronic cardio is not good for your cardiovascular system.
@kingogames If you're pacing yourself it's not. I'm not training for a marathon or anything. I try to stay at a 12 minute mile pace. I don't even breathe hard while doing it. It's pretty relaxing
I'm actually in that final stage of losing weight and I face some of these probs, the worst are stress, and the other prob is finding keto alternatives when I'm on the go and there is no time to prepare keto snacks before leaving, yet I will try to stick to OMAD for the next 2 weeks. Thanks for the info Dr Berg 😊
No snacks!
@@Mojo-Risin-Risin yes I'm trying my best to stick to that. That's why I'm doing one meal a day nowadays.
I am same, 3 years keto, healthy and slim but I wanted to show my abs. I went carnivore and losing 1 kg a week. I find it easier not to cheat or snack. I will continue carnivore until my abs show.
@@jimbeaver27 as a woman all I want is to become slimer, having a perfect body is not of my intentions, actually my husband is happy with my current weight 😅 yet all I need is a bit of toning.
@@sabrinaandhusband7791 why not go all the way though? Just make sure you go far enough that you will never go back :)
I want to :Improve my sleep.
:Keep reducing more stress.
(I have a several cronic illness I've been trying to recover from over the last 4 years and have tried everything so far)

You are in the right place…
Exercise is a great stress reliever for me. A brisk, 30 minute walk thru the park really works for me. Sometimes I listen to a podcast, but mostly I unplug and just take in nature.
The walking also burns extra fuel I have. Some times I’ll walk for an hour… I usually sleep great after a day with plenty of steps. ✌🏽
Try a sleep sounds machine or app. Gentle ocean waves are nice.
Also a part time physical job helps for exercise and to burn energy.
@@HarrisonCountyStudio I work out 6 times per week I walk 50 mins per day. I'm blind in day light so I can only walk inside most of the time. I also so weights and circuit training 3 times per week. So I'm definitely getting enough exercise lol
@@forestcityfishing4749 thanks I think I'll try the vitamin b1, it sounds good.
@@iamkat-agnt99-ash-kbt.59 Dr Berg made great videos to help with stress and with sleep ❤
I hear so much derision online against keto. I understand, it’s extreme.
But nothing has ever removed my craving for food other than keto & IF.
I always thought I was just weak, or a slave to my emotions or childhood issues.
Keto is freedom of food addiction.
Wonderful!
Thank you Dr. Berg - Lost 20# with Keto and intermittent fasting in 2 months. Now added exercise and feeling and looking good :)
🎉🎉
Dr Berg, I really appreciate the time stamps, and clearly noted and summarized subject details you put in the Data Description box. You give us so much useful information, and being able to go back and easily find where you presented certain info using the guide is very helpful. Thanks for all you do for our health and lifestyle.
Thank you so much for this information! I'm going to work on a few of these that I haven't been doing.
I'm 64, female, and about 3 months ago I was 190 pounds. Kind of resigned to not losing weight since I had tried natural ways to no avail. Then I heard about your Baja Gold salt. I started using it in my food, but also nibbling on it whenever I felt hungry.
To my surprise I lost five pounds! At first I thought the scale was broken!
I've kept up eating better, usually 1-2 small meals daily and the the salt. I'm now at 165!
I'm forever grateful for your Baja Gold salt!!!
Thanks for sharing ❤
I’m surprised Dr. Berg didn’t list high intensity interval training (HIIT). That’s what helped me to lose the most stubborn subcutaneous fat.
What kind of hiit did you do? I’m having the same problem and need to lost at least 10 more pounds
exercise under no.10
@@brandym2099
I did wind sprints. Instead of my usual 30 minute jog, I took the last 15 minutes and sprinted all out for 15 seconds, then walked for 45 seconds. Repeated this for 15 minutes.
It helps to have a watch with seconds.
I did this 2 to 3 times per week. My body needs a few days afterward to recover.
He added it as part of some of his earlier videos on weight loss ❤
@@fidelcatsro6948 Thanks 🐱
Thanks D.r Berg! I've been following your advice and have lost 13 lbs in 3 weeks and 5 inches of my waist so far!
I need to focus on: getting good sleep, reducing stress and exercising. This video is really useful and timely
Sleep is always a problem for shift operators.
Sleep, digestion, even knowing what day of the week it is..😂
yes i suffer from that too...night shift for past 3 yrs..🙀
Job or life can change job aswell as life I did and lost 110 pounds make the change I didn’t sleep much still worked out for me
I rely on a sleep sounds machine or app. Ocean sounds, dark and cool and I sleep well.
Exactly. I work three nights a week, thankfully reduced to 9 hours now but yeh. I get less than 6 hours a day during that time. 😢
Very nice. I am doing keto and 18 hours intermediate fasting and already loss 5-6 kgs in a month. Thank you dr. Berg
Fantastic!
What is u r diet bcs i do if and i lost my hair too much...

@@abdulmuqthadir2273 Make sure that you are DAILY, taking Biotin and Vitamin E
Perfect timing as I begin my 3 day water fast 🤗. Thank you Dr. Berg.
So I continue to watch and learn from your videos. This is my next challenge.
However…
I’m not on day 42 of a carnivore diet. By day 26 I lost 6kg. That’s now plateaued so no further loss and it’s stubborn.
I will now improve my sleep
I will now increase my exercise.
The weight loss above was solely down to carni/keto diet.
I will try to structure my meals better to build in clear IF time.
I feel alive, I am starting to Live again, my energy is more balanced and consistent. I have not cheated once in 42 days… first 14 days was so hard but what’s so cool is everyone’s saying my skin is so good and I am happier.
Thank you Doctor… I’m so grateful for you help education if me to live a healthier life.
Many years of eating sugars and yo-yo diets. It’s good to know how to practice being healthy. Thank you Dr. Berg.
Since I got into Keto diet, I have constipation quite frequent. So please advise what to do to fix it. Thanks!
Only suggestion is veggi nd psylium husk..but it doesnt work..for everyone
There's videos on the subject. Search the channel for it
Check your stomach acid...its probably low.. easy at home test...Google it.. Good luck
I use quite a bit of extra virgin olive oil everyday and the difference is amazing.
Eat more salt
Such good information! Especially in the beginning of this video! Thank you so much for all you do, @Dr. Eric Berg! Looking forward to the other videos on this topic.
thank you dr. Berg... I did loose many kgs thanks to IF and healthy keto, in the past 15months, and I am exactly in the position to have to loose the last ones, but also I feel that I am not yet on point with something because I am not getting other benefits. I am focusing a lot on health on all levels and I think it does take more time, I think my mental health is the biggest obstacle, also for the last weight, a very high level of stress and depression...I am not giving up but it's so tough...I need to rewatch this and go deeper into tweaking some things.
Hi Dr. Berg, I just started 3 days ago fasting and doing keto. Thank you for all your advice
Very glad to be of help.
Valuable information!!! Thank you.
Awesome! Glad it could help.
I have 8 more to go and have hit the big stall! Thank you, came at a much needed time!
Changing lives every single day! Thank you Dr. B
Dr. Berg thank you so much I have always battled with losing weight. I recently had a fatty liver but after doing the Kefir,Kale, and blueberry smoothie 14-day detox I no longer have a fatty liver. I've dropped 20 pounds in 30 days!!! You are such a blessing sir and I can't wait to lose the extra 30 pounds. I have never felt so healthy.
-Blessings!!
What did the 14 day detox entail?
@graceandtruth. Could you please tell us what the 14-day detox consisted of exactly?
very well spoken and great tips that I am now using
I'm glad to see you putting my tips into action. Take care always!
hi doctor, thank you for this video.
is intermittent fasting recommended for those who has acid reflux? i want to try this program but i'm afraid it'll irritate my digestive system.
Excellent video. Straight to point everything covered. Although i dont do Keto but your information has been really helpful. I do intermitten fasting and low carb.
Hello. That's great. Glad you liked the information here.
Thank you Dr. Berg. For all you do.
Sure thing! I am always happy to help.

Dr. Berg. Thank you for making these videos. Can you also talk about SIBO please?
How can a person work out every day and at the same time fast for multiple days?
Thank you for all your informative support in these videos
You're welcome! Glad I could share helpful information.
My main issue is taking supplements during fasting, especially B vitamins. They make me nauseous for a couple of hours.
Have you tried unfortified nutritional yeast?
Papaya at Walmart; take 4; works wonders
I need to focus most on Keto and proper exercise. Thank you so much Dr. Berg. Everytime I watch your videos, it gives me a bust of "I can do this!"
You are hands down amazing Doc...!
Your skin is glowing by the way😚😽
I will try Vit D, sleep and fast..Amazing insights. Good job
I was just curious is there anyone on here blown away by Dr. Eric Berg? I have spent so much on doctors to help find out what is going on with me and do a lot of blood work and find nothing wrong. And still get no help. I am truly amazed by this incredible information and concise. I need to focus on letting go of stress and blue light. Lowering my carb intake. I am so grateful for Dr. Eric Berg and helping me and many others to overcome health conditions!!
Adding a sleep emphasis has REALLY helped. I'm also going to add a B1 and probiotic supplement, along with the D, zing that I'm taking. I'm going to look at adding fermented veggies into my diet as well. We'll see. I'm stuck at 244 lbs right now, down from 270 libs with some nice muscle showing now.
Thank you so much for all the invaluable wisdom you pass along to help ppl. Anyone health conscious I put them on to your channel! My goal is to burn fat, but maintain my muscle mass through a fast. Could you recommend something other than vitamins and a little salt that wouldn’t break the fast? I identify with a lot of points you shared. It’s that last 10-15 I want to loose. If you already made a video regarding fasting while maintaining or at least growing muscle mass apologizes
Here's some videos that may help!

Weight resistance exercises? Like push ups and squats or other leg exercises ❤
Intermittent fasting has been an amazing health experience for me. I do 16 hours no food. Then once a month I’ll do 1 day no food. I drink lots of water and when I do eat I make sure it’s veggie/fruit fat and protein. I sleep great and feel really great.
Lately having a discussion with a friend who was on losing weight, we both truly agreed that eating right/fasting is the fastest way to lose weight. Exercise didn't contribute that much for cutting fat.
I need more info of how to get that fat from your stomach thanks 🙏
Thank you Dr. Berg! I saw this and knew it was for me because I have EXACTLY 13 pounds of the last stubborn fat on my belly to get to 100 pounds down! ha! I would love to hear you talk more about exercise. I've lost 88 pounds with only walking, Keto + IF so in 2023 I want to start strength training but I don't really know what the best way is to go about it.
There is a lot of RUclips training videos you could check out, but probably the best way is to sign up to a Personal Trainer for a month or two to learn the basics and correct techniques and follow your own program from there. Consistency is King (or Queen) Good luck.
Strength training will build muscle and burn more energy all day ,(including when you sleep. If you are older, building muscle will be even more beneficial, as you lose 10% muscle mass every decade as an adult.
CONGRATULATIONS on all Your hard work! You are taking great care of Yourself & You are worth it!!
I know You will find just what You need to finish Your journey to ideal health!
I think a picture of You for this video thumbnail would make it much more believable than a pic of a woman who has no weight to loose & looks as if she Never has had any...
I feel insulted & not sure I can believe anything said in this video. I have lost 60lbs & still have 13 to loose also... but I sure don't look like that!!!
Click bait??
Regardless, Thank You for sharing Your success as a real person!!
Thanks again Doc. That's exactly my situation. I have done very good on keto but that stubborn last 10 pounds. I appreciate your balanced information. 🙂
Eric, you look much stronger and healthier than in your old videos. Is it the meat? Very striking.
Thank you for explaining things without unnecessary stories and sales. I really appreciate it.
Glad to help!

I'm gonna try fasting and change when I take vitamin D and zinc to a night schedule. Thanks Doc!
