I've lost 161 pounds in 9 months. Started at 623 pounds. Used this channel almost exclusively to learn all about Keto. Thank you. So easy to follow. I doubt i'll ever change diet again even once i reach my goal.
J, that is fabulous!!! Congratulations!! You have every right to feel pride in your accomplishment! For me, regaining my health was my main goal. I've come a long way and still have a way to go, but I'm happy with my progress. Everyone here is helpful and supportive. This is a great place to be!
Congratulations that's great! You've got this.
That’s awesome! I’m so happy people are finding this lifestyle to be healthy.
Wow that’s amazing. Congrats, And why would you change your diet? That’s just gonna get you back to square one. The point is making it a lifestyle. For me personally I started nearly 3 months ago, about 60lbs down from 360, under 300lbs for the first time in ten years when I was 16 and it feels amazing...will do strict Keto staying at 20g of carbs till I’m at my goal of 150 and I know for a fact that when I get down to that goal I will stay Keto for life. Will just move over to lazy Keto where I get up to 40gs a day and by then I’m hoping I won’t need to track my macros so closely.
J how use loose 161 pounds in nine months
I was a carb addict. It was debilitating. All I could think about was cornflakes, donuts, rice. I couldn’t focus on getting things done. I couldn’t even be a good mother. I yelled at my kids all the time. I was so mean to my husband.
I’m so productive now. Keto cured my life-long battle with depression. I’m actually happy. Such a strange feeling. Keto made my wrinkles completely disappear. I’m 47 and people think I’m 30. I have dewey youthful skin. I just noticed that My facial age spots are gone! My kids are thriving and I actually have a relationship with them now. I’ve always been thin, but in a sickly way. I’ve got a rocking body now. I love my muscles!
I lost over 100lbs as well, I am so proud of Steve it makes tears stream down my face. Way to go!!! Thank you for being brave enough to share. ❤
Ima Wake, thank you for sharing with us your success!! Congratulations!!!
Good for You!!
Congrats steave!!!!! I was 620 pounds 5 months ago and now I'm 539. Doctor Berg helped me. I eat once at 6 or 7pm. 50 carbs. Not much exercise. Back and joints
Dr Berg is a very good listener. It’s a lost art in this day and age.
He's so patient.
One thing I love about when people lose weight is seeing their true facial features and unique beauty shine through. Being overweight robs people of that, and it’s like a flower blooming when the weights gone ❤️
My Gosh People cannot see, that its so true. You can be the best looking person in the world but if you are fat most people will not see it. Once you take the fat off it shows! I explain to my fat friends. Do you think if j lo and Dwayne Johnson were seriously over weight that they would be stars? That weight robs you of every thing good in life and it brings not one good thing to the table for you!
Well said!
So true! Great observation. I’m overweight too so I’m not pointing fingers but when I go out and look around me I can’t help but think about how disfigured and distorted all the obese people look to me. It’s very sad. And don’t get me started on the fake “body positivity” movement. Sure, let’s not ridicule one another. Let’s not judge people’s heart and character by their size. But let’s not try to normalize obesity either. Let’s not give people a reason to “give up” on their health.
I lost 100 pounds and started hearing "you're hot" for the first time in my life...It blew my mind. Hearing that from people I've known for 20 years was really eye opening.
Crowbar1115 I think the issue, once we get over a certain weight, is that we start to lose our gender-specific attributes and start looking androgynous. There’s not a lot of difference between a 600 pound man vs a 600 pound woman aside from genitalia. It robs you of your features.
Dr. Eric Berg is a good listener. How refreshing.
i agree!
Thumbs👍 up amazing!!!
Agree
Totally! Most doctors aren't, unfortunately.
Art Rat i
Indeed, fasting is the secret. Just don't tell people, they'll try to discourage you :) Keep rocking!
And congratulations Steve!
So true. I live in the heart of Vegan Country (i.e. San Francisco Bay Area) and I never tell anyone what I'm doing with my diet. Love KETO and OMAD!
Exactly, I've learned that too. Just do what's best for you & keep it to yourself. People are so opinionated. I'd never try to tell others what to do but they don't have any qualms sharing their usually uneducated opinions with me. But you know what they say about opinions...
Right! They think your literally going to starve yourself nd you’re nomever going to eat EVER again. I’m like damn chill, I’m just doing a 18 hour fast lol 😂
I do not tell people i'm on keto not even my doctor everyone still has low fat written into their DNA. I gave up trying to convert people a long time ago. Keep your own council and keep loosing the weight.
too true re san fran! thosewingnuts are such PC fascists.
So inspirational! My brother passed away at 37, over 600 after being on life support for 2 weeks. He was 6'7 and normally 330. He started gaining weight due to losing a job and depression. He ended up unable to breathe due to sleep apnea and didn't have insurance to get the proper C-Pap machine. They had to request a special ambulance to transport him to the hospital. I will never forget seeing him for the first time in months and how much he had gained. They had to use a crane to move him on his special ICU bed. He died from pneumonia/SARS and kidney failure. I share this story because if there's anyone watching this video and want to change their life by losing weight - please do it. I wish Keto was accepted as a proper weight loss regimen then as much as it is now. You are enough and worth the effort!
I think it's something some people do, when they don't love there selves! Emotional problems are also sometimes a factor! I have thyroid problems, and none of my Doctor's have helped me lose weight at all. I gained 75 pound's so my total weight is 200 hundred pounds! I tried keto and I got to Shakey! I'm eating small meals throughout the day!
So sorry you lost your brother.
Kind of you to encourage others to take care of themselves.
I am so sorry for the loss of your brother. I just recently buried my brother under different medical circumstances, but also traumatic hospitalization. Hugs.
People has to be smarter and choose carefully who, they will ask for health advice.
Eric is not just a excellent Doctor - hi is a wonderful Human, with a capital H 🙏❤️
I'm sorry to hear about your brother. I know that hurt is still there. 😞 I'm happy you can openly talk about it to try and help others.
I've been doing Keto since February. Lost 65 pounds and I will never go back.
Congratulations! I think it's time for me to look into keto.
Annette Morrison, consider that Dr. Berg has over 1.8 MILLION subscribers, then read what others here are saying about their successes and satisfaction with this plan, notice how supportive the comments are. From where I stand, you can't go wrong by joining us and sharing your journey, too! Dr. Berg has a free Keto mini course with a link below the video. It's the basics, but will give you more info. The 3-4 videos only add up to about 20 minutes or so.. Have a great week!
I started February as well and down 67 lbs
Thats so true, I never saw myself obese until my brother tugged me to a corner, looked me straight in my eyes and said you are fat and getting unpretty. When i looked at the mirror, I saw how unhealthy I looked. It inspired me to become healthy and fit. I never let self pity and hurt crept into me. I need a change and I have to do it. Im from 202 lbs to 130 lbs now, still aiming for 125 lbs. I thank Dr. Berg for all the information he gave from the body types to Keto to IF and everything in between! God bless you!
Mary Tan So true! I got to the point where I didn't even feel like a woman anymore.
Wow.. your brother said that to you. I can imagine what he will say to his wife ! She may not have the same drive or be able to keep hurt or pity take over. Shocked you didn't tell him off. Still not too late to thank him then tell him how unappropriate was as a male for him to say this to you. I'm sure he thinks very highly of himself now because you lost the weight.
@Mary - I was at 159 lbs and had a hard time tying my shoelaces. I know I needed to do something but dieting was out of the question because I know I would never follow it. Then I found Dr. Berg's channel and followed his advice to eat healthy and combined it with intermittent fasting. I was able to lose 30 lbs. My height is 5'5'', so I'm also aiming for 125 lbs body weight.
20alphabet It's not about what a man finds cute, it's how you feel about YOURSELF.
HadassaMoon144 tbh, I am grateful that he was honest with me, it changed me and he said it in a loving and very concerned way like a family should. Sometimes, sugar coating things make things worst like yhe body positivity im seeing nowadays. We should wake up and not be delusional. Oh, I cant tell him off because in Filipino culture - we are raised to respect those who are older than us, whether the advice is constructive or not, good or bad we have to listen and reflect on it. If I will talk back my parents will either whack me or nag at me of being disrespectful 😂
*hey, congratulations Steve! You did this for yourself! You made a decision, and choose life over death, health over illness and discomfort! Way to go!*
Thanks
@@Steven-pz5lg Hi Steve! This interview was done 4 years ago. How are you doing now?😮
@@ONSTAGEMUSICPODCAST I am doing great still going strong 💪.
@@Steven-pz5lg 🙏🏼✌🏻😃
I literally just watched Steve’s first interview the other day and was so struck by his story. The amazing things that happen when you just commit and do it. Because the first interview is so fresh in my mind, I see such a difference just in the past interview. Like his skin and his eyes.....he looks fantastic. I have never needed to lose weight but am doing keto for autoimmunity and for adrenal/ stress/ anxiety. And this is even more inspiring than any interview I have ever seen. Most people think that keto is just for weight loss....but look at how happy he looks. Look at the transformation that has taken place not only in his body but in his entire life. This is more about the power of the mind than anything else......I just love this. Thank you DR. BERG for always bringing the best guests on your shows because information is information....but results with actual human beings, their physical results as well as the emotional, mental, and spiritual transformation they experience is where it’s at. I’m loving this.....sorry for the long post but I’m just super stoked for steve.......God Bless!!!!!
Thanks for the kind words
"How can you eat the same meal every day" ask the people gulping that extra large soda, french fries and a double burger. Oh the irony.
I love eggs. I could eat them everyday.
@@christinerobinson890 On a keto diet, you MAY eat them everyday! :- ) Yay for eggs!
@@Hat65 Well, it does have those calories :) and in some of those cultures people are really physically active so they need the fuel.
Oh the irony indeed...
@@dannebonaparte2213 xa
Please bring him back every 6 months...I want to see him reach his goal and he’s about the most inspiring of anyone on here that’s done Keto and intermittent fasting
Why should 225 be his goal? Maybe that number got into his head from somewhere not really relevant to him.
Thanks
After he has his extra skin removed he will be at his goal weight. That skin weighs a lot. An average of 20 pounds of extra skin and losing from over 600 pounds there must be more then average extra skin. He looks amazing.
Steve you're inspiring
@@Steven-pz5lg it’s been2 years...where are you now?
Inspiring Dr Eric.. Thank you for sharing... I've lost a total of 52 lbs as of yesterday.
Jim Dacey Jr OFS thanks for the best laugh of the day 🤣💕
Congratulations, Jim!!
Thank you Vickie !!!
O.Alden, you obviously misunderstood Jim. He weighed himself yesterday and since he started doing this program, whenever that was, he has lost 52#. He was not saying that he lost 52# just since yesterday.
That's were the "AS OF" falls into place in my comment.. I started on July 8th. I have been committed to OMAD and success is constant and weight loss is easy. You literally become a Fat-Burning Machine.
The conversation that this guy was having with himself in his own head is almost word for word what goes on in my head....I totally relate to this guy.
Yup.
Great story and inspiring! I’ve lost 100lbs after 7 months on keto with IF, been very strict, but it’s sure worth it. Colleagues, family and friends say I need to stop now, but still got 20lbs to go until I hit my goal. Never been so excited about eating healthy. Can’t see eating any other way in the future!
After 8 months I’ve hit my target, 117lbs lost in total. Couldn’t have done it without great content providers such as Dr Berg, amongst others!
Bklondon 75 you are my inspiration! I am in the phase of research and learning. I am so so so so so amazed by all these stories. I want my story to be added to all of your awesome success life stories.
Marilda Cerisha best of luck, it’s definitely possible!
@@orionrising9410 how are you?
it's proven that centuries ago people hardly ate and they worked hard and walked for days to reach their destination without all the health problems we face now..
daisy hernandez , that’s not entirely true. Centuries ago, the average lifespan was 40+/-. Yes, they worked harder, ate less, but they didn’t live as long because life was...hard! But I agree, our modern diet-especially the American diet, needed a serious makeover with obesity rates skyrocketing, and more so in children now than ever. It is very inspiring to see so many successful people. And I hope this trend catches on across the board. 😄
@@zobysunday6941 actually the high death rate of infants and children brings the average down quite a bit, also infectious disease and traumatic death that we now can treat....so some people did actually live longer lives.....
Mary and Joseph walked 100 miles to flee
Trouble in the Bible.
@@zobysunday6941 there's only a 2 year difference in life span between now and then, if you got past the first 2 years of age
@@zobysunday6941 Don't be fooled by the high infant mortality rates bringing down the average age dramatically. Take out infant mortality and the life span is similar, but HEALTH span was way longer. I'll take the health span over life span any day.
I love how respectful Dr. Berg is letting people speak and listening.
Dr. Berg saves lives❤️ Thank you Dr. Berg for being wonderful, beautiful, loving and kind to all of us❤️
Congratulations! Such an awesome testimony of the keto lifestyle.
This guy should go talk to Dr. Now on the show My 600 lb life so he can teach Keto to his patients. They struggle with his high protein low carb plan
????
Khadija Alboukhari There is a show on TLC called My 600lb life. Those patients need Keto desperately. Check it out on Demand
Ok
Dr Now does try to put them on very low carb, but also low fat. The ones that do it actually lose a lot before the surgery. They wouldn't even need surgery if they kept doing that.
Dr. Now starves his patients on 1200 calories per day.
I lost more than 50 lbs similarly. I saw my doctor recently. He was so happy, as he saw me young and fit, late-middle age with declining health and now in my 50’s getting healthier every week. Oddly enough, I feel driven to do it mostly by wanting to help others understand how much bad food is disguised as healthy.
Started keto With intermittent fasting 2 weeks ago. It's working great but a strange thing happened. I've had a mole on my face that measures about a 1/2 an inch round near my ear. It's started about 25 years ago as a tiny dot. I started noticing last week it was flaking in that area. The mole has shrunk and is now disappearing. Also I'm 66 and in a wintertime it's hell with the dry skin and itching. I've been having to wash my face Before I Go to Sleep every night for the past week. It's oily again.
kickin, Congratulations!! My skin is also much healthier. If I rubbed my skin, it was like a snow flurry!
kickn-adead-cat, I might be wrong, but the dry, itchy skin could be a side effect of your body adjusting to the IF. I had a problem with getting really itchy skin after showering, almost unbearable. Once I got on a routine of taking nutritional yeast, that has helped tremendously. You can get Dr. Braggs nutritional yeast flakes at the store (I started off taking that), but I switched to Dr. Berg’s nutritional yeast pills. I take them with whole milk or beef/chicken bone broth, and it’s much easier for me to take it that way. I also will grind them up with a mortar and pestle and add that to his wheat grass juice powder and electrolyte powder, add water, 100% organic cranberry juice, and lemon juice and apple cider vinegar to taste, and that’s a good way to take them. I wish you the very best success. God bless you.
As far as I know, fasting helps the body get rid off excess, damaging skin and other stuff. For example people who do IF dont end up with skin flabs. I believe its termed autophagy. Jason Fung has some interesting articles on this and observed it in hundreds of patients
That's so awesome! I had the same thing happen to me! I was so surprised! Nobody has ever mentioned this side-affect to keto.
In one of Dr. Bergs videos,He said things like moles , and skin tags and what not will pop right off as you convert to the healthy life style (Keto and IF )
Well, a starting point could be to STOP referring to HDL and LDL as "types of cholesterol". HDL and LDL are types of lipoproteins. Lipoproteins are a type of protein. Protein is made of aminoacids. Cholesterol is a fat. Fats are NOT made of aminoacids. HDL and LDL are "baskets" made of protein that is lipophilic on the inside, water-soluble on the outside, and their purpose is to transport fats in the blood. One HDL basket can fit just over 1000 molecules of cholesterol. LDL is smaller so it doesn't carry that many. So, HDL is a big package, LDL is a small package. But the cholesterol is the same, whether it is in a big package or in a small one.
And calling them "types of cholesterol" is not just a philosophical misnomer; it is factually deceptive, because a lot of the time HDL and LDL are not transporting cholesterol, but rather transporting other types of fats, fatty acids, triglycerides, phospholipids... And there is no way to know whether any given HDL or LDL particle is transporting cholesterol or some other kind of fat without emptying it out and looking at the contents, ,,, which is not easy to do with an electron scanning microscope and little tweezers; so looking at levels of HDL and LDL doesn't even statistically represent amounts of cholesterol in circulation. And the funniest part is most doctors don't even know this. When I explain it to them they are shocked to hear it, "Ahh... that actually makes sense...!"
Raised levels of LDL while on the keto diet is probably because more fats need to be moved around if your entire metabolism is running on fat. Obviously, the extra LDL particles are probably transporting fatty acids and triglycerides; for fuel; NOT cholesterol,.
And cholesterol is good, anyways. That's another long story...
Dan W I’ve heard this explanation several times but the way you worded it made it clear enough where I could explain it to someone else. Thank you for the clear explanation.
Thank you very much for that very clear explanation, description. Pictures worth 1000 words. Personally, I needed the picture. Thanks
Excellent explanation, why do so many health professionals call it ''good'' and ''bad'' cholesterol when it is an amino acid carrier and NOT cholesterol. I do not know why they measure it at all in relation to cholesterol if it is unknown at any one time whether the carrier is carrying cholesterol. So much misinformation out there it is frightening no wonder it is difficult for a non medical person to make informed choices about health since it appears most of those we look to for health advice can't get it right either.
Thanks for this!!! Glad to read it!
Ann lvselvis amen!!! 👍🏻
WOW... Stephen this video was so inspirational. I am so happy and proud of you. We all have been living a lie our whole lives for the greed of these companies. It is so sad what they have done because it has caused so much trauma and illness among the peoples. I have been trying to lose weight for the last couple of years with no success at all. Just this last six months I went vegan and gained six pounds. I decided to try keto just a few weeks ago and have already lost 11 pounds.
...
Good for you! Seriously, what’s healthy about vegan?
I know this guy! It was more then 20 years ago but it's really cool to see someone you KNOW have it work so well. Thank you for sharing Steven and Congratulations!!! I have lost 40lbs doing Keto and IF. Also, I am happy you aren't having the surgery... I have decided long time ago if I can lose the 200lbs I need to lose I won't do the skin surgery either.
message me on facebook
Steven You look Happy 💙
Dhaezi Flower - Autophagy from longer fasting will help with any extra skin according to Dr Fung.
🔴 My man Steve. Great job on your results bro. 18lbs of muscle 2018. 💪Dr Berg is a Boss. Your interview is going to change a lot of peoples lives my man. Salute!
What an amazing success. Kudos to him. He looks awesome 😎!
I loved this interview! I totally agree that keeping my one meal a day simple is so much easier, less stressful and I don't get bored with it. The KEY, though, is Intermittent Fasting!!! I can't emphasize this enough! I had SO many problems, from my brain to my toes, my brain being priority #1. Some issues are totally gone and others have improved and I'm still working on. I am just so very grateful for finding Dr. Berg and his version of Keto/IF AND the progress that I've made in healing my brain and body! I so appreciate each one of you, too, as we each have our own journeys, generally play well together and try to encourage and help each other out! I just know that everyone here, including Dr. and Mrs. Berg, are true blessings to me!! Y'all have a most wonderful week!
Dr. Berg's the real deal. I've been taking his Skin, Hair & Nails, Estrogen Balance with DIM & the Vitamin D3 & K2 for about 3-4mos. LITERALLY changed my life
Sweet Leilani what have you noticed especially with the estrogen balance?
Sweet...
I am also Interested in Dr. Bergs products. Especially anything hormonal I have awful hot flashes and I'd really like to know if any of his products has helped anyone in this area. also hair was does it really work?
blondeelockzz I second that motion. What have you experienced?
What changes have happened?
Sweet Leilani how did your life change? I am truly interested.
Amazing. Took alot of will power for him to lose all that weight. He should be proud.
The people who disliked this video must’ve been Jillian Michael’s and a few of her friends
I can't stand that woman! (sorry it's a year after your comment, but I just tonight watched this video)
I remember the very first time I saw a video where Dr Berg said to eat butter I was soo confuse 🤷♀️ ...I was like no way I will gain even more..I m glad I trusted him tried the keto diet best decision ever..losing weight , my anxiety is under control and I stopped binge eating
God bless you Dr Berg!
I’m down 40 pounds doing Keto in 57 days, love it!
what's are your macros
Are you still doing Keto?
Congratulations!
I lost about the same, I’m losing almost 5-10 pounds a week and people are telling me I’m losing weight to fast. Some people even thought I was doing drugs because I was losing weight so fast lmao
Wonderful interview ... so uplifting and makes me happy to see Steve's transformation. I've personally had great success with keto, having lost 70+ lbs and turning back the clock. No doubt about it, Keto ROCKS!!! Love this way of eating and never going back!
I'm keto 3 months, down 32 lbs, this was so helpful and inspirational to me. I want to go OMAD and now I know I can. Thanks to both of you. ❤
I'm 3 days in, I am currently 280 pounds and 6 ft 2 inch tall. My goal is to get down to 225. Plus I want to get on top of my type 2 diabetes.
The first month is the most difficult. You've got a start, so keep it up. Prayers for your success.
@@joybeum7177 thank you for the reply. I am down to 235 pound now. 10 more to go. Hope you are well.
Amazing.. So proud of you🙌🙌 I'm new in keto & i just start it in 4 days, i ever in 116 kilos in 2015, and after that my weight getting low to 90-& 82 kg in 3 years, but still stuck in 80s kilo & it's not my ideal weight. And after watch it.. I get more energy to keep going this Keto diet.. Thank you. Dr. you're the real hero🙏😊 sorry if my English bad🙏 from indonesia south east asia💙
Thank you🙏
Wow, Steve, congratulations on your successful weight loss. You are doing so well. Thank you Dr Berg for all of your information and for the follow-ups on these interesting weight loss stories.
LOVE THIS! And he answered my TOP 2 QUESTIONS about OMAD .1) YES you can strength train and work out effectively and 2) You do NOT need to force in calories (seems intuitive but this was a struggle for me). AWESOME INTERVIEW, learned so much! THANK YOU BOTH!!!
Good on you Steve! Cheers from Saint John, NB. And may God bless you and Dr. Berg.
Female. Age 62. Starting weight 230. Now 207. Keto is best eating plan I have ever done. As time goes on I become less obsessed with food and like Steve said I'm enjoying what I eat. If you put the effort in there are fabulous meals to make. I follow Headbangers Kitchen and love his recipies.
Wow, congratulation to Steve! I think Steve already recycling the skin, because Steve's face looking so healthy and firm !!!!
I really like Dr. Bergs energy he has a very positive attitude and he speaks good information :)
Incredible,,,For new keto folk like myself a year and a bit in it's great to see the sustainability on a long term basis,,,soon as I started losing weight everyone ridiculed me keto is bad,waterfast dangerous,ADF unrealistic,,,,so this is the kind of thing which inspires,,Steve has done an awesome job and once you start it gets easier,,,,Dr Berg and of course Steve big Thanx for a great vid,,,,,,Have a fab week,,,,
Flo Travels ,,,Hi Flo,,,, Thanx for the encouragement,hope your doing well too,,,for sure there's a great community on this channel,learn much from the live shows on Dr Berg's channel,,,it's all good,,have a great week,,
Now THAT was a GREAT interview! Thanks, both of you.
I feel like there is so much to learn from people like Steve. He has really put the work in and it shows! I want to see more people like this be vocal and share their experience in the main stream.
More content like this would be good keto before and afters
habitualharmony Agreed 😆
It’s so true about the salad first, then the protein. I do get sick of the salad but wind up going Back to it because it works for me
Me too!
I've been a petit women with 30 pounds of overweight for 18 years after my youngest boy was born. I haven't been watching my weight and I'm only following all Dr Berg's directions and I feel so good. I don't really care about how I look but I'm happier and more energetic. Sugar is for exfoliating my skin and decoration I don't even want it. Steve keep focusing on the good things as you do, forget about those details for sometime. You'll waste money and time to be happy. People can love each other with that skin. Wear something to support it and go on inspiring us all.
I like what he says about the elaborate recipes. I was overeating on keto because I'm a great cook. But I just had a salad with a fried egg, and hamburger, some grated fermented veggies (instead of cooking, I'm fermenting), and it's super satisfying. So I'm going to try to just keep it simple.
Steve is a wonderful guy with a great attitude. I have never struggled with weight (but plenty of other issues), and yet these stories are very inspiring.
Congrats Steve, thanks for your spirited testimony and I'm happy to see you faced your demon and you won and so will I. Thank you Dr Berg I'm still on my 100 pounds list journey.
Congratulations Steven. Your success is an inspiration to thousands of others. If each of us could find a way to do that the world would be even more amazing!
Such an inspiring story. He looks great and I can just imagine how great he must feel. Simply wonderful!!
Run from statin drugs. Do the research...
HOW RIGHT YOU ARE..THEY HELPED KILL MY BEST FRIEND..MY WONDERFUL DAD.
Ray, I believe that if the Dr. wants me to take a medicine, that it will be harmful to me and I'll refuse it every time! I research for natural ways to truly heal what's wrong with me. I just don't believe that high cholesterol is a problem. Mine has been 300+/- for 30 years, just like all of my family members. My cousin was prescribed a statin and went for a check up 3 months later. They were talking about a liver transplant for her. The statin did that much damage in just 3 months! Think about those that take it for years! Besides, they are NOT effective and are designed to provide the makers lifetime users.
@@sglondon301 - Hi, Mary. Do you mind if I ask how the statins helped kill your best friend and Dad??? When I went on Keto a couple of years ago, I started doing research on diet, nutrition and pharmaceuticals thanks to Dr. Berg and others. I wasn't going to attempt one more diet until I learned how our bodies work. Now it's been over 2 years and I'm still studying! Thank God for the internet and youtube, because I'm not a reader at all. When I found these youtube videos, I loved just sitting at my desk and watching videos. I do this anywhere from 2 to 6 hrs. a day. When I first found a doctor taking about statins, I listened to this lecture he was giving other doctors at a seminar and then found a couple of other doctors and one highly educated Ph.d. lady, LOL, who talked about statins. I went and threw mine in the trash. I didn't ask my doctor, I just did it. I also was T2 diabetic and after listening to doctors talk about Metformin, I threw those in the trash. Although, I wasn't taking much of it because I was trying to control my diabetes with diet and walking. I still wasn't eating nearly as good as I should have since learning Keto. When I got on Keto, I lost my diabetes in less than 3 months. Not one doctor I had been to in the four years I had diabetes told me diabetes was reversible. Well, back to the original question I had for you, my doctor still doesn't think my cholesterol is low enough and wants me back on Lipitor (statin). I said I wouldn't take it anymore. My cholesterol is only 245, but my triglycerides are still higher than I want, but they are coming down. Funny thing, I was listening to this one doctor at a seminar and he said cholesterol values used to be 250. I don't know how many years ago that was?? Then it was changed to 200 and overnight, 8 million people were put on a statin drug. He also went on to say that doctors do get kickbacks to prescribe these drugs. Some of them anyway. It's a huge business and a lot of money! That is why I was wondering how and why you lost loved ones due to statins?? Thank you.
Ray Shields never voluntary take statins. They are terrible and also largely ineffective in reducing cholesterol. As if...
Great interview! Thank you for the follow up. Steve's experience with weight is valuable, and he has good advice to share. And he's helping others, too. I hope you can do more follow ups.
Getting on ketosis, eating more simple, whole foods, eating more salad, weight training, adding intermittent fasting, not too much protein, 8 oz per day. Not a lot of cooked vegetables.
Inversion (upside down) time might help his legs. (It's like traction.). Or rebounding.
And sunlight, outdoors.
I bet part of his success is being able to more comfortably sleep.
In my opinion, some of the carbs are so addicting because they are spraying grains with MSG and aspartame, which are both highly addicting.
And grains can have mold contamination from storage in massive silos, so cause fungal overgrowth in people, which competes with good bacteria in your gut.
Double acting yeast was created for making beer and duplicates so quickly that even a small amount that is alive after baking bread can easily overwhelm our guts. Especially if you have maltodextrin in your food, which is the special food created to make yeasts grow faster.
And bromine (dough conditioners) in bromated flours competes with Iodine in your thyroid.
And aluminum in some of the baking soda is toxic.
And some the free-running agents added to salt are bad for you. (yellow prussiate of soda (anti-caking agent).
And grains should be rinsed and soaked overnight before cooking to wash off any lectins that interfere with digestion, leaving more of the starch for the yeasts.
Natural sourdough breads would be better.
All this has ruined grains for us.
We tend to blame the natural living thing instead of what we ourselves have done with it and to it. This is because... lawyers. You can't disparage a company's product. You can't patent an unmodified natural food (yet) so enormous promotion, advertising, in groceries and restaurants goes toward the man made, man modified products.
And now, even natural producers in my area are being told they must add artificial preservatives, to their (already preserved) canned goods to make them more reliably "shelf stable", in order for them to be allowed on the grocery shelf, which means that more foods are older than before.
Thank you so much Ideoform for this great and helpful information especially the bread, yeast and sprayed on msg and aspartame. Wow! Eye opener there. Much health to you!
Thank you Dr Berg, for bringing us encouraging stories like Steve’s. I like Steve’s idea of keeping meals simple. 👍👍
Totally right on the keep it simple. When you see people making keto mug cakes I think it’s a slippery slope for me. Can’t do it.
Shelley Clarke I’m not too fond of recreating the same foods with keto ingredients. Just eat meat and veg. Don’t need casseroles and stuff. I only do fake sugars on a rare occasion.
Agreed, it’s a trigger!
Before I found out Dr. Berg's channel, eating vegetables/salad was the last thing I would do especially there's meat/fish next to it. Now I do the complete opposite. I would eat vegestables/salad first until almost full then my protein (meat/fish/eggs). This way it would be hard to overeat my protein needs.
When I first started Keto, I ate as much as I wanted..because after being on every other diet in my 61 yrs, I was always denying myself.. AND starving!
As I settled in, the data AND the shot of Apple Cider Vinegar and pink himalayan salt every morning, took away my appetite. Now I eat one small meal a day and I'm LOSING! I feel so much better and energetic!
I've got quite a few people started on Keto and tell them, in the beginning, just eat your fatty Keto stuff with veggies and eggs. Don't stave..that's when the " Carbage monsters" creep back in.
After you settle in and get comfortable, go ahead and start looking at recipes and by then you'll be ready to do the intermittent fasting.
I agree, go at it in fases, it is a natural transition and it keeps your body guessing.....it took a lifetime to get here, take a while to get healthy, don't rush it😄👌
Congratulations Steve, very inspiring to say the least 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈 Please come back sooner, even 3 or 6 months. Thank you 😊
I love the real talk in this interview. I've only been doing OMAD for 11 days and most everything Steve said I find to be accurate.
Great interview Dr. Berg.
Great Steve! I am watching this a second time and just watched your first interview. You are looking healthier each time, and definitely look much younger than your age. Skin is bright , full of color; and you are bursting of energy. Bravo! Inspirational to many. Great interview you two.
This is a most impressive transformation. Well done!
Saving lives!!! One person at a time! I love the fact that example is causing others to follow. Dr. Berg....You give me the comfort going into my 60's without health insurance :)
Ruth, I am with you. I am in my 60's and very healthy. Honestly I stay clear of doctor's because when you are healthy they don't know what to do with you so they write you a Rx any way and say it's preventative and all the while it will make you ill. Can you say flu shot? Continue to monitor your health, educate yourself and listen to your body. The answers are in you.
All the best!
My favorite quote from my PCP about my keto diet: “well, we don’t know the long term effect yet”
My preferred answer is always: “we all know the long term effects of being over weight and having belly fat. I will take my chances losing weight and feeling great.”
❤
Exactly!
you're
my Hero dude!! Fantastic.
Seriously
I saw the previous interview and I am so happy to see Steve again and his amazing results! He looks much better now than in the last interview.
My sincere congratulations to this man on his achievements, on struggling and winning. I hope he is still going strong.
Very happy for you Steve! Congratulations on the success of your hard work! AMAZING TRANSFORMATION!! 👍👏👏
Very inspirational - thank you for sharing your incredible journey Steve.
Steve you are such an inspiration, I'm about to start my journey and love hearing success stories like yours. Also loving Dr Berg and his videos ❤️x
-I am really enjoying all these videos of Dr. Berg's influence. It has only been a few days....but wow! what a change in perception about everything on my end.
So I am applying, learning, listening to all that is said and I expect lots of changes ahead in myself. I am average everything.....but, I do work out and eat right
basically. But with the improvements of my learning and understanding of all these things Dr. Berg says, I'll be changed in no time into the shape I really want
to be in. Thanks so much for these videos!
Results are the name of the game. Thank you for the update.
Wow what an inspirational story. Gotta salute Steve's determination and resolve.
Such an inspiration! I love watching these videos. I started Keto recently and watch all i can about Keto. Recipes also important cause i need to prepare ahead and try to get my husband on board. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
that's not the first time I've heard that on cholesterol levels not really being the problem to heart attacks. My mom has high cholesterol always for years..never on meds! .....weighs less than 125. She got down to that weight and less at times by never eating sugar and eating healthy foods and very limited amounts. she has been eating that way for 30 yrs. She has amazing energy and memory and she is turning 89 soon. I swear what Dr Berg is saying is so very true.
😂 people keep telling me keto is expensive, I say, not if you eat one meal a day... You go enjoy your cookies and I'll get younger as I age.
They have a 😐 moment.
I do IF for 16/8 so I usually have 2 meals and it is still so very much lower than normal. I buy cage free eggs ($3/dozen) and meat “the best I can afford”...I think people who say this are thinking of eating an “organic” 2 pound filet per day or something. The most expensive thing I buy is my LonoLife bone broth packets...one a day w a tablespoon of butter (nicknamed Bulletproof Bone Broth). Glad someone else notices that it is not the register receipt shock too many are claiming.
P. Prasad They’re crazy, you save a fortune by not buying the rubbishy Refined/Processed so called “Foods”. Now doing OMAD Carnivore.👌🏻
@@MsDestinedtoReign , absolutely! I don't think people do the math. They seem to exclude the mindless eating habits, grabbing a chocolate bar refueling or snacks here and there, coffee on the go along side their weekly shop. It adds up.
I did my food budgeting, *MCT oils, good quality meat ect* , it turns out it's cheaper in the long run. Here's the most important part, if for some reason it is more *expensive* ... It's worth the health benefits! How can you put a price on that?
P. Prasad ppl guess my age about 35. I’m 54.
All these vegetables is quite expensive.
Thank you so much for this video!!! Steven’s story is going to help me going forward Dr.Berg. I really appreciate you and doctors like Dr.J.Fung for shedding light on how we’ve been miseducated in healthcare. I’m an RN and all of this makes scientific sense to me. Now I’m better equipped to help others, as well as myself. 🙏🏾
Wow! Congratulations Steve. Very inspiring story. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah my grocery bill will reduce and i expect my cost of buying toilet paper will reduce too.
Something you never realize. I noticed when I deployed. Being smaller, I got smaller uniforms and all together a lighter load. Then you save on laundry, you are able to put more clothes in 1 wash.
This is just a "win,win" over all.
@@robertcollins7515 Big people usually have shorter lives, and tall people get posture / spine problems. Heavy people get hip, knee problems.
Lol
This man is such an inspiration, thanks to him I am more motivated than ever to keep on doing omad each day and every day for the rest of my life incha Allah.
I really like Dr Berg ‘s interview, he always let the guest speak, he doesn’t interrupt, he has pertinent questions. So bravo both of you. Thank you for the update.
Congratulations Steve!!!!!!!!! Great follow up interview..very motivational!!!!
I don't know how to thank you Dr.Berg, I am a young man from Iraq, I had too many health issues after losing my MUM such as adrenal fatigue, insomnia, frequent urination, brain fog, face wrinkles, and so many other problems. But my life changed when I started watching your videos, and now I feel much better, I could to overcome most of the points that I've mentioned above, and despite that, I am advising the people around me according to your videos.
wow Steve!! you look great - it obviously has paid off health-wise, the biggest thing. I can tell you have so much confidence and excitement on keto since losing so much weight. I know you'll keep it up unlike so many diets where you count calories.
BEST KETO WEIGHTLOSS I HAVE SEEN
I totally enjoyed watching this video, awesome! Steve - congrats on your success, keep it up and healthy! I agree, IF is an amazing thing, love it, too.
doing one meal a day for 4 months now, and it's so simple and convenient i don't even want to go back to lunch and dinner. I also feel very full and sluggish if I start eating earlier now, for social purposes or on weekends
Impressive.. congratulations, Steve! Those of us who "only" needed to shed a few pounds stand in awe... but it's proven again that everything is about Timing. As he says, it was 'easy'... once one feels ready, it really isn't that 'difficult' anymore. You are so fed up and get so mad at yourself that you just do it. I do PILATES every single day now, the transformation is phenomenal but finding out the underlying issues - the reason WHY one eats = what the craving is about - is the most important part. Once you do that, the cravings dissipate automatically.... but boy oh boy, losing that much weight - and keeping it off - is truly wow, Steve! Dr. Berg never disappoints. I also highly recommend the book 'Women Food and God' by Geneen Roth (not religious). Life-changing for anyone who wants to shed or gain weight. Portia de Rossi's book is great as well, titled 'Unbearable lightness'. xx..
I will thanks
This is such an inspiring video. So grateful for this video. And salute to you for gaining control of your life, and Dr. Berg you’re such an amazing Doc. I can see your empathy through your videos. Always so calm relax and like just soothing. I can only aspire to be like you one day. (By the way I’m in medical school) love you and keep helping all of us like you do through your lovely videos. ☺️🙏🏽💕💕💕💕
This guy is phenomenal! I SOOO relate to his routines and cravings pre-keto. Of course, I was not in the morbidly obese category, but the pre-keto pizza/carb at night to keto and totally losing bad cravings/tons of energy and exercise. WTG Steve! You are an inspiration!
Thanks
Steven Is this "THE Steven" :) If it is, you have me crying now! Just finished watching this vid. I lost one of my best friends in my life to obesity 4 months ago. He was about the size of the "Steven" in the video pre keto. He was 51. I lost my mom to insulin resistance/arterial breakdown/diabetes 2 year ago. I am on keto 2 1/2 months now...went from 230-200. I wish I knew about this sooner! I am going to try tightening my fasting window (20-4) to 23-1 and see if it gets me out of the weight loss stall (though yes, the ladies are a bit more challenging! lol) And...thank you Dr Berg...for everything! Proud of you Steven!
Yes is me keep up the great work just stay focused. It's great way to achieve your goal keto and IF is easy way to get there.
Watch your portion size with protein and increase your salad.
Steven Haha, yes! You know my weaknesses! I do have a tendency to go too heavy on the proteins (rotisserie chicken being my Achilles heel, though burgers can do me in too!) And, though I LOVE cooked veggies...I have yet to find a salad I can "love" ;) I was never a salad eater. But I can eat asparagus, broccoli, and cauliflower all night! In order to get more fiber, I started doing chia seeds in an almond milk pudding (yummy and low cal). I thought this might help a bit too...we will see how it goes. What do you eat for salads? Maybe you can inspire me! Thanks for the encouragement! (Great attitude too!)
I can completely identify with the denial aspect of being overweight!! Congratulations on your inspiring story! You're such an inspiration to us all!!!
21:02 - "you're burning your fat, that's part of the meal"
Well put
I've only been watching your videos for about a week but they're really motivated me thank you
I WISH YOU A NEW AND HAPPY LIFE AND THANK YOU DR BERG
Wow! congratulations on your new You! Thank you for the encouragement! Keep us posted on your ability to keep it off and stay healthy Steve! This is kinda new to me.
