Hi guys. So the thumbnail is supposed to be of me having a headache! haha! It does look a bit weird. Anyway, I'd love to hear what you think of the video. Drop me a comment below!
Dr Dan Maggs haha it’s cool!!!
I would love to join your facebook group
Hello! I’ve been on low carb plus intermittent fasting for 4 days and low carbs for 3. Honestly I got no problem doing fasting the problem was when I started eating less carbs. I have 3 days getting headaches, general feeling of weakness , a lil more thirst... I’m so tired and sleepy? Am I killing myself? Help!!
Dr Dan Maggs I’ve been keto 20g or less of carbs for nearly 2 weeks. I’m not as hungry as usual. Maybe 1 meal and a snack with tons of water and I’m fine. I haven’t lost any weight yet but I know it’s coming soon so I’m sticking to it!
@@MsQtrrider21 How's it going now Shannon?
Well, judging by the symptoms I'm either entering ketosis or dying from coronavirus.
I'm with you!
I’m with you right now
Hahahaha !!
Lol. I feel like I have corona right noe. Im on my second day.
Thank you for clearing up the keto "flu". I thought I wasn't able to get into ketosis because I wasn't experiencing sickness and had very mild negatives. Blood tested and found out I was good.
I think one point that's often missed is heightened increase to irritability. I was a straight up asshole during the first month.
1) Flu like symptoms (headaches, achy)
2) keto breath
3) digestive changes
4) decreased exercise performance
5) insomnia
6) reduced appetite
7)improved mental clarity
8) increased energy
9) weight lose
Also: increased urination!
You are welcome 😌
No wonder I couldn’t sleep enough hours cause I kept pissing. On the bright side I’m actually feeling good.
@ROM LUNDY only for a little while
Thanks
Thanks, I'm trying to get through a lot of videos and don't have 100 years to watch them. All I needed was your list.
@ROM LUNDY Keto is training your body to survive off a different type of fuel - Fats. It goes against everything we've been told in the past. You can basically eat bacon every day and still lose weight while on Keto.
I am 48 yo. On the keto diet for 2 months. I have been anxious and irritable, with a foggy mind, arthritis, very low energy, and 20 lbs. heavier for like 2 years. I was skeptical at the beginning. Well, 2nd week, keto flu. Really bad. After that no more anxiety, all cravings gone. Like a war inside my mind and body was over. I am eating half as much now but I am not hungry. After 40 days I had lost 7 lbs. I started to work out again. Clear mind like a younger me and reduced inflammation.
I have been on the Keto diet for over 2 months. I am 60 years old and there is another wonderful effect aside from those you had described: reduced inflammation! The dull ache in my left knee is gone and so is the ache in my hip! It is great that I can walk up stairs pain free! :0)
Am 63 and enjoying low carb Intermittent Fasting, almost 2 months now, all pains gone. 9 kls lost from 63-54
Delia another one is stopping scratching... unbelievable
That’s amazing! I’m 52 and have been doing for few months and lost NOTHING except maintain my weight. I don’t know why. Can you offer any advice, tips, help!
@@Ty-mh3ey if you’ve been potentially adding any muscle through exercise and high protein during the time you’re in keto, it’s very possible to stick around the same weight while still losing fat and getting the other benefits.
Once you break the sugar addiction permanently, you'll notice you don't get as hungry anymore.... Then fasting becomes a lot easier... You wanna talk "reducing inflammation" ??? Start FASTING!!! I'm doing 3 day fasting now, and the results are practically miraculous!! My blood pressure has PLUMMETED to 110 -120 systolic!!!
I have been on a KETOGENIC diet for two weeks. The biggest change is that one meal, lasts me all day, I used to get hungry every three hours.
And me,
i get hungry every 3 hours can you tell me what foods you eat on keto i keep reading i must eat more fat but finding it scary
@@kashmandir2325 You're probably not in Ketosis. Research the internet how to ensure that. Make sure you keep your carbs low - Under 20 grams would be ideal. ALSO ENSURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. RESEARCH VIA THE INTERNET.
Kash Mandir y in in
@@kashmandir2325 obviously ur not taking in enough fats...eating fats make u feel full and not hungry
Why does no one mention pissing everytime you look at water
absolutely!
Yep!
do you eat/drink enough electrolyes/minerals? via osmosis the body extracts a lot of stored water when the electrolyte levels are too low
Have you also come across how gylcogen is stored with 2 parts water for every part glycogen? When your body was previously using glucose it stored some as glycogen but also stored water with it. When u begin dumping this out and using those stores the water is gotten rid of. This is why people lose weight rapidly at first because it's all of the stored water being flushed out.
Needing the toilet so much does settle down when ur body acclimatises to this WOE.
He really should have mentioned this in his video but oh well. Some people's urine can turn green too!
@@laurapearson6580 guess he's so used to it for such a long time .. he forgot the initial phase
I'm 83 and I been doing good on my diet I lost bout 30 pounds within 4 months im really happy bout it (:
That's amazing!!! Congrats 😁
I am also 83, starting diet today, my grandson has been on it for 4 months and has lost 25 lbs, he has studied it and if my coach.
Absolutely, transitioned to just two meals a day, one at 12 noon and one at 6pm with no hunger in between. This happened easily and naturally after a week of low carbs. 🙏
Wow thats great! You must have lost alot of weight
try to reduce the gap between meals from 6 hours to 3 hours and you will be golden …
you can benefit from both intermittent fasting and keto
the shorter you space ur meals … the longer you fast … the more autophagy ur body can go through
I have been eating twice all my life - one morning whenever i wake up and another at 4 pm. Didnt know it is called intermitted fasting
@@FFKonFire what da f did u write here? The shorter the interval between meals the longer the fasting? Do u know what fasting is? Fasting is NOT EATING
@@bambinaforever1402 read what I wrote again and please read it Veryyyyyyyy slowly as you are clearly a dumbass

Nikki Smith wow I needed to hear that. Thank you x
That’s almost good enough to get tattooed!
Friends, when you decide to go on a Ketogenic lifestyle and you’re going through your kitchen collecting all the sugar and grain products, please do not throw them away; give it to your local food bank and help feed the homeless. Thank you.
Three days in I had a semi confused, low energy and felt like wow this is gonna be really tough. I did some breathing exercises and drank some water and it passed by that evening. Now I’m a week in and have dropped a few pounds. The most recent and best thing I’ve experienced was the clear head and overall feeling of positivity. It was pretty profound actually.
There's a certain point where your body has burned up every last molecule of sugar it had squirreled away and it's out of fuel and panicking. Unfortunately, it also typically hits around the same time as the carbohydrate withdrawals start. You'll feel like roadkill for a day or so until it discovers it has other energy sources to use. The body is a bit of a drama queen that way lol. But yes, as mentioned by el, electrolytes are a big deal because they go wonky and out of balance during the transition period.
@@BDThomas I cannot stand the electrolyte drinks with the artificial sweeteners and I hate salt! Lol. I tried the salt with lemon in water and it didn't make me wretch too bad, but just marinating my steak in salt for awhile and salting my eggs good seems to work for me.
Jeff, what are your daily meals?
So I'm just about to start this...I'm just doing some research first. I've read the first week or two to have 3g fats to 1g of protein to help kick start your body into breaking down fats and using them as energy. So for breakfast high fat moderate protein lunch low fat and higher protein then dinner high fats and low protein
3 days in myself and I am experiencing just that lol.
I'm 72, been on Keto since end of October 2019. Have lost 65 pounds. I am disabled so can't do walking much. Lots of sitting down exercises. I am losing fat now and retaining muscle. I sleep 100% better! I can use my muscles now without straining. I don't huff and be out of breath anymore. Keto diet is the ONLY diet in my whole life that's worked! And I've been on them all! ...Diana in Milwaukee Wisconsin
Thanks Diana for reporting your experience! And congratulations to your stamina .. maybe you can have a look at EMS muscle training; I'm doing it for nearly two years now and though not cheap - I love it 👍😅
What exercises are you doing?
🥰🤙🏼💟💕 way to go!!!!
Hope you're still feeling great!
Good to hear about your good news. Take care.
Day 4 of ketosis. All my carb cravings are gone, lost 3 pounds, and live off of barely 2 meals a day with no hunger pains ever!! I feel alert the second I wake up in the morning. This diet really does work miracles.
Day 4 is extremely early days. I'm interested to know where you're at now, 5 months later -- ?
Wow!
@@johnathantaylor5913 I don’t rkn she’s on it no more
Totally agree, 15 pounds in 3 weeks, no hunger at all
@@romanzmlv1458 I’m down 6 in 2 weeks 🙂
I had "keto flu" really bad 20 years ago when I first started low carb. For two and a half days, I felt like I was coming off drugs, then I started losing weight so fast, it was alarming my friends while they told me eating that way and that much couldn't possibly work. 410 pounds down to 265 pounds in 8 months. I never needed to be hungry, and I felt great on it.
The mental clarity is something I never knew I wanted so badly.!!!
Keto was invented for the brain only
Weight loss is just a side effect
I've lost 36 pounds in 2 months on Keto. Every symptom you described I have experienced. I am surrounded by gluttonous people at work and at home. The hardest part is the first week. If you get through that it gets easier
Great . Was on high protein diet and now I wanna cut with keto
Kevin, congrats on loosing 36lb in 2months! Did you have to count/restrict calories during the 2 months?
@Kevin, congrats on loosing 36lb in 2months! Did you have to count/restrict calories during the 2 months?
I read that as 'glutenous' people. It's confirmed, I miss homemade bread.
@@troydunn6005 xDDDD
The reduced appetite is when I knew I was on the right track.
Yep, I find myself pushing the plate away.
I realized it when I could do the fasting longer without the angry hunger pains.
Same i ate half my food today I never do that
Super- thanks for that!
How long did it take for your guys appetite to reduce??:)
Hi . I lost 17 lb in my first 30 days . All the symptoms you mentioned has happened to me and I love everything about it . Im a heavy guy started at 325 lb and planning to keep it for my life .
Good job!

How's it going
@@Ray2001ify Today , I have lost 130lb since the day I started
@@javadghandi wow I'm at 149.5KG and 2 days in.
I definitely felt sick! Serious headaches and nausea! Thank goodness it only lasted 4-5 days. Once it passed I dropped weight, no nausea, felt mentally brighter!!! What a difference!! I started this journey because I was getting TERRIBLE MIGRAINES! It has helped remove lots of foods that can cause them. Especially processed foods
I’m soooo glad I came across your comment! I’ve been looking for a video that mentions nausea but haven’t came across any! I thought I was crazy lol. But definitely I’m having very similar symptoms as you- headache and a lot of nausea. What I found that helps with the headache is zero sugar (obviously) electrolyte drinks! 😁
@@mariasalgado8962thanks for the tips !

Keep it up, I lost 20 pounds in the first 3 weeks. I started off with a hundred to lose though so your mileage will vary.
Don't cheat and your going to be a winner.

Nice to see so many laughing. Youre privileged not to have to actually suffer this
🤣🤣🤣
This comment right here explains it perfectly 😂😂😂
I started off with low carbs and no snacking and cutting down alcohol 🍷. I started going to the gym doing exercise 4 times a week. Then I removed certain sugary fruits Luke apple and banana 🍌. Then as soon as increased the fat, protein with green salads and vegetables 🥦 I began to feel funny and didn’t exercise as much feeling tired 😴. Within weeks I noticed an extra 5kgs weigh loss. I don’t feel hungry between meals anymore. I fast for up to 24 hours sometimes
You’re awesome. I work overnights and I keep accidentally doing this. I will you success on your journey. It’s very inspiring reading you guys testimonies
I’ve been in ketosis for about 4 months. Six months ago, I gave up all grains, sugars and high carb fruits and veggies in one day because I have type 2 diabetes and I wanted off my meds. I had had too many low blood sugar events because of the meds. It took 2 months to get into ketosis. I believe because I had such huge stores of glycogen. But I hung in there and here I am six months later: progressed from 16/8 fast to 18/6 to 20/4 to OMAD; walking 8,000 steps per day plus muscle toning exercises; and weight 170->134. I feel so good with this lifestyle I feel like I was given the keys to the kingdom … the secrets of the universe. Oh, and mental acuity… I’m now studying quilting, French, piano, cooking, and cabinet making. I love this lifestyle, I love learning, I’m off the meds, blood glucose levels remain low, and I’m never going back.I’ll always be diabetic but I manage it without meds.
please what 16/ 8 means?
@@merylo888 16 hours fast and 4 hour eating window.
@@merylo888you eat within an 8 hour eating window and fast for 16 hours.
Thank you for telling me how long it took you to get into ketosis.
Like you I am T2, I also have a fatty liver.
4 weeks ago I quit all my diabetes medication (esp insulin) and on the same day I also quit carbs, fruits, veg etc and thought that I had gone into ketosis, but hadn't had any of the mental clarity that people keep talking about.
I guess ketosis will happen when my body is good and ready, but until then I am ecstatic with how much better my blood glucose levels are, they're so much lower and level throughout the day. So even if for some bizarre reason I never achieve ketosis, I will continue a carb free diet for all the other health benefits it brings.
@@NiceLoki Hi, Congratulations! I remember how thrilled I was when I was finally in ketosis. I guess I had a big buildup of stored sugar to use up first. I don’t know. But, it did happen, and the clarity of thinking, the terrific energy levels, the delicious meals and the overall wellness were worth the effort. Best of luck!
People around me start to think I'm nuts, then I'd know I'm in ketosis.
Mind explaining what do you mean exactly
Yep,one of my cousins worries about the small amount of food I'm eating..Well DUH!
@Fabius Maximus 😂 Since childhood for me! Anyway,my kin still don't get it and think intermittent fasting is dangerous...That being said,I do remember when I felt that way as well,but I got educated!
XD same
real clear
Just started 2 weeks ago and I’m so much more aware of my hunger vs eating for boredom/stress
Is it healthy to have a slice of bread with eggs as breakfast when in keto diet?? Im confused if it should be zero carbs or low carbs
@@Kevinselasie low carbs but i would only have 1 slice of bread or cut the bread out completely
@@Kevinselasie Try your best to avoid bread and grains, your body definitely needs carbs but look for healthy carbs found in healthy nuts and fruits but don't overdue the fruit just try to be very aware of the sugar content in anything you eat, so I guess the answer to your question is low carbs but really ...LOW, hope this helps.
I am about two weeks in and I have to say I almost dont feel hunger. I can easily do 18-6 interminent fasting or skip eating for full 24 hours. I am just worried about lovering my metabolism I want this diet to "eat away" all of my fat :)
More than two weeks following low CHO, and in OMAD (one meal a day) I experienced all what you said, I’m over 65, and feeling a lot better, no cravings, no hungry at all! And losing weight. I think this is going to be a new way of living. I programmed myself. No suffering, I could made this switch from day one ! This is the beginning, and I am convinced that keeping this way, my chances for getting any Chronic degenerative diseases will be lower.
Either “not hungry “ or “ no hunger”, but not “ no hungry”.
@@judeirwin2222 You never saw a typo online??? who has time to go around nitpicking people's errors? Or do you just have a problem with the "o" in his name?
After being 30 days on the Keto diet I can say I felt a lot of differences in my body. I actually went Keto to see if it would treat my cystic acne. I just published the start of my journey on my chanel, to help anyone else who is going through with a similar thing. My skin is terrible, but I have noticed differences which is good.
The mirror is much less insulting to me lately.
😂
Mine too 😂😂😂
How long were you on the diet if I may ask? :)
@@chynnab2920 I started my new Keto plan 6 weeks and 4 days from today. The day I started I weighed 224, I am 5'10"-ish. Today on the same scale, I weighed 193. So in about 46 days, I've lost 31 lbs. No sugar, One Meal A Day and about an added 8 days of pure solid food fasting. I did to sets of 3 day fasting and one set of 2 day fasting. The last set, I was going to eat something light that night and I just wasn't that excited about it so I just decided to push through and eat nothing. That's when I went from 197 to 195 and kind of beat the plateau I was on. Extremely low carbs too. I think less than 20 per day while I was trying to lose weight.
@@wildernessradio1653 I'm currently the same weight and height you were when you first started. I'm on my 3rd day of the 16/8 diet.
I started keto last August..
I was Class 2 Obese
Now I'm just Overweight.
I'm proud to be in a Keto program ..

ElijahSaurusRex just started about 2 weeks ago and I’m only eating about 30 grams of carbs of that and high protein. Protein shakes , meat and lots of green veggies and people already noticed I’m loosing some weight
The perfect foods to get high cholesterol and hearty disease 😬
@@needfulthings6603 My study. I study nutrition. Animal fats contain bad cholesterol which can lead to heart disease if you consume them often
@@needfulthings6603 We also learned that glucose is essential for optimal brain functioning. People who eat enough glucose can focus better and have better results at school. So a low carb diet isn't good for that either
@@needfulthings6603 You can, however, bring your body into ketosis without cutting out carbs and without eating big amounts of these unhealthy foods, by intermittent fasting. Your body goes into ketosis if you haven't eaten in a while too. So a keto diet can be healthy if it's done by intermittent fasting instead of low carb.
I’m on my second week and have felt great. I’ve only lost 2lbs but at 64 and have a few health issues I know it will take time. I feel more determined than I have in a long time. Not hungry but I think I should maybe eat a later breakfast and eat two meals instead of three. I hope and pray everyone reaches their goal.
I feel so weird, I don't have food cravings anymore.
9 minutes and 14 seconds into my keto diet,wish me luck ✌️❤️🇬🇧

I've got to say the cravings and crashes leaving me is an amazing feeling. Indian diets tend to be very carb and veggie heavy, a few weeks ago I decided to go full carnivore and its been life changing. The acetone breath hit me just now but the weight loss started almost immediately. Insomnia is there and after the initial lethargy I feel like a new person with the amount of energy I have now.
I've only eaten breakfast today and the whole day's gone by and here at 7pm I'm writing this and I feel absolutely no need to fix my self a sweet or carb heavy snack. In fact I'm just going to get my business in order and get to bed, haven't eaten dinner in three days, heavy carnivore breakfast, a snack carnivore lunch and no dinner and I feel better than I've ever felt.
I’ve tried Keto many times before but gave up before reaching ketosis. This time it’s different! Finally I can see it on the test strips that I’m on ketosis, I’m losing weight, less inflammation on my joints, much much more energy than ever, occasional headache because I do intermittent fasting along with keto. I’ve been doing it for a little over 30 days and dropped 2 pant sizes. I am beyond thrilled & determined to make this my lifestyle. Best of luck to all those starting this journey- don’t give up. 😊
Great job.
Having used KETO to lose weight myself I have this advice.
Make sure to get enough fat, and especially low enough carbs, but don't be too ambitious. If you limit your food intake too much too fast you risk losing your motivation. When you feel like it does a 18+ hours fasting, maybe 1-3 times a week. But don't force it, do it when it feels natural and not a big deal.
If you don't do fasting then you should react by limiting your food intake a bit at a time, but again don't overdo it. This is not a sprint but a marathon.
My doctor told me they have done new research that says that your body will get back to your maximum weight for 10 years after you lost the weight.
With KETO i got my weight down to 79-83 Kg and have kept it there for 2,5 years now.
4-6 months after I stop being on KETO I start to get so hungry all the time, and gain a bit of weight and go up in body fat % a bit, also fasting leaves me with no energy and feeling bad. Then I know the fat-burning effect of having been on KETO is gone and I'll do KETO again. Usually, I do it for around 2 months, except for the first time when I lost most of the weight in one long go with some short breaks.
I just went on KETO for the 5th time from this Sunday night.
I just have to say back then when I was eating carbohydrates. When I would go to the gym, After exercising I always got so hungry. Now that I do not eat carbohydrates. I do not feel hungry after I exercise, which is a shock.😧 Also I barely get hungry barely. kind of bothers me because I am naturally and an emotional eater. And I'm more aware of what I'm putting in my body. I mean this new way of thinking is a huge adjustment for me. These are lifestyle changes. Update again I lost 75 pounds!!☺
I feel the same way
Destiny harris I’m exactly the same the same as you literally everything I’m the same but male lol
Muscle is fueled by carbs your all misinformed .
@@biblebill6206 Go on say what you wanted to say?
The point is , is what I stated true or not google" body's main source of fuel" tell me what it says . You have to be humble admit what's right and follow it so you don't ruin your health . I'm trying to help people not get them angry . God wants me to warn people Keto is not healthy at all see Pr 24 : 11 [Niv] bible .
I stopped walking into a room and going “what the heck did I come in here for?” 😀👍
I can’t wait for that.
This is why I need to go back to keto/IF
Too funny!
it's only been three weeks since I seriously cut back on my Carbs. My decision had nothing to do with losing weight. I felt I needed to do something about the sugar. I can already attest to the fact of weight loss, more energy , no more naps in the afternoon and increased mental clarity. All positives. thanks for the video.
Good video and I agree mostly . I started low carb living not to lose weight ( but lost 80 lbs.) I did it to lose the pre diabetes diagnosis,high BP and high triglycerides. It worked for everything now after 3.5 years low carb I’m 75 years old and am in amazing condition and when I started eating low carb I was a fat ,tired,depressed exhausted metabolic disaster area. My dr. Said this is good results “how did you do it”. 💪🥑🥓😎
I never get sick. I’m 70 now,on no meds and feeling great.
You are da man👍

I've been struggling w/food addiction and sugar addiction for years and and yes, after only about ONE week my appetite/hunger has diminished!!! Wow! I am sooo surprised and happy about it!!
Love sugar too! Monk fruit is amazing!
Same! I thought I had to give up hope because of my binge-eating, but once I tried keto, I was pleasantly surprised!
Why caint i loose weight i started march 3 its no may
The keto flu has hit me 2 times that I recall. Weak and dizzy, in the extreme, lasted a few hours. I am never hungry and I have to work hard to keep weight on. I feel great. No insomnia or intestinal problems. I have stopped 24 hour fasting because I just can’t lose more weight ( at 76 I now weigh what I did graduating college).
I needed to go on a low carb diet because I was having problems with my feet. So my dr said to reduce the carbs and it works.
I experience a huge dip in blood pressure. So I increase my coffee intake. Also, I'm also more in-tune with my own feelings as well as others.
But the HARDEST part is watching my friends and family eating cake 🤣
Try the yogurt almond keto cake! Look it up, it is amazing.
@• • Winter's Cheekbones • it would take you out of keto but yeah you can have it at your discretion . You’d have to restart the keto process after you ate it though.
Make keto brownies
"Qu'ils mangent de la brioche"
@Dyu's Pie look up keto-friendly versions of cake, desserts, etc. But yeah, once a month is ok unless you're trying to lose weight or is diabetic

we?
are you doing this with someone else ?
I've been on a low carb diet for several years - the one thing I absolutely recommend is stay hydrated. Water is my best friend!
Omg I’m rarely hungry anymore, i do feel like i think clearer, i feel energized, i sleep better & wake up early & I’m 11 pounds down today.
Don't feel like eating at all. Have to make myself eat something healthy. Am also doing intermittent fasting, lost 7 lbs so far this month, have 72 to go
I have lost 50 and would love to lose 70+ more. Good luck!
Keep going!! U can effin do it!!
How are you doing on keto months later. I'm on month 6..down almost 40
I need an update on all of you
How long have you been on the Keto diet? Good luck. I discovered that the almond butter I was eating was slowing down my weight loss..500 extra calories if I was counting!
The increased mental clarity is awesome. Better memory, sharper thinking, better problem-solving, more creativity. It’s real.
Doing Keto/IF with 3 day fasting 2-3 times a month. First weekend of fasting had crazy amount of energy and could not fall asleep for the life of me. None of the other negatives, but yes to the positives like mental clarity.
Haha. Same with me. No symptoms except waking up constantly, using bathroom and then up before my 5am alarm. With a ton of energy! I was doing am 18-6 5 days a week at first now i try to do a 22-4 most days of the week. At least 4. The rest of the days may be a 14 hour fast at the minimum.
every morning i wake up and feel like its gonna be another exciting day on Keto ! Also reduced stress level. And start to believe im myself. We guys can achieve our goals on Keto. Its for sure
I've lost 24 pound since August 25. From 259 to 235 It's kinda ruff at first. I had a headache, which I hardly had befor I started, but now I fell wonderful ! When you put on jeans you haven't wore In 3 years. I am really happy witn Keto diet.
That’s great Angela...
Congratulations!!!
Good Job
My problem is that my trousers are much too big for me. I have altered one pair, but it is a tedious job. Am tempted to take them to a charity shop.
I have lost 20 pounds in just about 2 months keep it up
Been on a low-carb diet for 10 days now. Haven't really experienced the negatives symptoms, but certainly the more positive effects. Feeling more energetic - ready to get up earlier! - and with reduced appetite and a more positive mental attitude. Lost ten pounds in the first week, but I've heard that that's usual as it's water rather than fat, although I can actually notice some weight loss visually! I feel very positive about this form of eating.
I'm experiencing the same. None of the negative. Lots of energy, Sleeping great and weight is flying off.
Are you fasting though
Greetings from Mexico amigo! Am in ketosis and the bad feeling for me only lasted three days and people started noticing my body sliming with in three days, and for me the best thing about keto was the mental cleanest.
Everyone should be on a low carb diet, 30 lbs lost! lots of energy, thinking clearer..Thanks for your videos, they are right on target!
Do you mind asking me what your starting weight was and how long you’ve been doing it? Thanks!
@@vcr4497 Was 199 Now 169 and still dropping, feel 20 years younger, Been on it for about a month and half..unreal!..Im jumping off soon because I over exceeded my expectation of this diet..
@@r.e.johnson801 that’s awesome! What was one of your favorite snacks ? If you had any
@@shirleyzavala2608 I like the Fat Bombs like a Reese's Cup no carbs and no sugar..and yummy..walmart brand is fine..kinda expensive..Im down to 162 now...Lovin life!
I am on low carb. I've lost 20 lbs quite easily. My carbs are under 110g 85% of the time everyday, I set my max at 150g. Low carb I lose weight much more even. Keep more muscle mass and avoid that skinny fat look. Vs when I did calories in and out. I lost weight but was very skinny fat. Now,My hunger isn't all over the place anymore . I have more energy and less cravings. My starting weight was 167.8 lbs. Current weight is about 147.8 lbs in 4 1/2 months.
I started a ketogenic diet 6 weeks ago and have lost 18Kg. I can’t believe how much better I feel. I experienced all of the 9 symptoms discussed in this video. My insomnia has been the worst. I wake up at 3am just about every night and toss and turn for an hour before finally falling back asleep. Apart from that, I’d recommend this diet to anyone that needs to lose weight quickly.
Would u plz tell me.what did u eat? How much carb is allowed?please guide me
@@shahnazp1712 hi! I started 2 weeks ago and didn't even know I was doing a "keto" diet! It's really simple. I just count total carbs on packages or look them up on the web. I'm having between 20-25 carbs daily. No sweets, no breads, no rice, no pastas. I mainly eat lots of fresh eggs from my hens and unprocessed meats like steaks, bacon, sausage and some chicken. I use sausage because I raise my own pork.(I don't know if store bought sausage is keto.) Lots of natural fats like virgin olive oil, bacon butter (strained bacon grease) and real butter. I will add onions and peppers to my breakfast and some squash or a small salad with my dinner meat. It really is simple if you don't eat anything sweet, nothing premade or out of a box, and nothing processed, like lunch meats or pre-shedded cheese because it has starch on it to keep it from clumping...oh and I eat cheese with everything! But only real cheese- no "cheese product" or "cheese food". I don't get into all the keto diet recipes, mainly because I don't want to go hunting for the substitutes and I just want to get used to not eating certain things, like bread, potatoes, and desserts and in two weeks I have!
Some people use artificial sweeteners but I would advise against it because alot of them are not healthy and even artificial sweets can keep the cravings going. I haven't had any cravings for sweets since day 3 by just not having anything that tasted sweet. My biggest hurdle was my coffee mate creamer that I've been hooked on for 25 years...but heavy whipping cream seems to be good enough now!
I'm also doing intermittent fasting. Most people go for 8 hour eating window and 16 hour fasting. I'm doing 6/18 split.
I'm actually almost doing a carnivore diet except for the little bit of fresh veggies. If you try to do everything natural, like me the meat is very filling, fats keep cravings away and make sure to use a little extra salt to keep from getting constipated. Veggies are just because I'm a gardener and I can't live without them☺️
I usually start my day at 6:30 and drink black coffee and water until my eating time (noon) then I eat as much as it takes to satisfy without overeating--chew your food well and take your time eating! Then after 6 pm I only have herbal tea or water. No carbs outside of your eating window is key!
I've been going for 2 weeks today and have lost 9.6 pounds. And it's not difficult at all. This is literally the easiest diet I've ever done!
Same with the sleep
@@shahnazp1712 did you try it? I'm down 17 pounds now! It works😊
@@jswhosoever4533 hi dear.sorry i sm not good in english..in fact l am going to try it.but i cannot drink coffe without sth sweet.l avoid eating bread..rice...potato...fruita and other things.. i lose eigt kilos in two monts..but i had cheat in keto diet..i ate some carbs
I'm so glad I found you! Finally videos from the UK! I have done keto/low carb for 5 weeks. I weigh myself today for the 1st time and it looks like I have lost 10 pounds (even though I went off the rail when I ate chocolate biscuits!) But went straight back on it the next day! I didn't really need to weigh myself because I know I've lost weight as I can wear clothes that I couldn't zip up or button up! So very happy 😊
I was able to reach ketosis for the first time about a few weeks ago after many months of trying! I felt boost of energy, and hunger went away. Until then I thought that I just couldn't do it. Keep trying, and it will happen!
One of my earliest symptoms is nausea. It’s the body getting used to less sugar/carbs.
Yeppers, this should be one for sure. I've done this diet on and off. Definitely makes you think you ate something wrong. Or not enough because of the nausea.
Yes I had nausea also.
For the first 2 to 3 days it was horrible. Im used to it now though.
@Fast Internet you’re stupid.
@@annabell1902 ur mad
Now I know I'm in ketosis, this finally feels worth it! I was having some huge doubts as to if I should continue because I was just feeling like crap but now I know that its my body adjusting, I feel really good about it! Excited to see my results!
Was also abt to quit but not any more
Are yall still on Keto?
For me they only lasted like a little less then 2 weeks but hang in there! I been on Keto for 2 months and it’s been working out great!
@@moonchie2191 I been doing it for 2 months and feel great :,) finally was able to fit into a Size 12 after starting off on size 14
Be encouraged don’t give up
Good stuff Dr. And spot on as well. I’m into my second week of intermittent fasting and low carb diet. I did notice some of the early side effects and definitely have noticed the last 4 positive symptoms of ketosis on your list. I was telling my wife this morning how deep I’ve been sleeping. I have zero food cravings or hunger with the 18:6 fasting interval. Have also lost 3.5 lbs. Energy, mood and concentration are all great.
Usually day 4 I fell like a keto queen. Energy, clarity, decreased appetite.. etc. I love it.
I've been back on keto for a month now. I've experienced all of these. Especially the low appetite. Last night I realized that I had forgotten to eat!

You will require gall bladder surgery and get kidney failure. Keto is not a good diet to be on long term. ruclips.net/video/CT8K6NcAigo/видео.html
I’m on the 6th day of a fast . I experienced insomnia. It is hands down the hardest challenge
Wow, that's a long fast!
Dr Dan Maggs Yeah in trying to cleans from years of bad eating. I need a master reset.
I been watching all you videos. Very informative. Appreciate your post .
@@jeremiahd1 How long do you plan to fast for in total?
Dr Dan Maggs no response, I guess he died😢
that was very useful Dan, I've been on low carb and no sugar diet for a couple of months and have been losing lots of weight. I thought it was strange that sometimes I just can't finish a plate of food or even want to eat anything at all, so thanks for explaining the loss of appetite.
I decided not to go full keto though as I want this to be a lifestyle change, so I have fruit every day. I'm sure I'd lose more weight if I cut out fruit but am happy that my fat is going slowly. Cheers Matt
I started keto 3 weeks ago. I believe it took me 2 weeks to get in ketosis, because last week I had so many of those symptoms. I had headaches and feel of fatigue at the gym. 2 days ago I had a terrible diarrhea, but it's different from any other I had ever. Now I'm feeling fine and apparently my appetite is gone, I don't feel hungry for hours. I'll keep it going
I'm on day 4 and started intermittent fasting yesterday as it came naturally, not being hungry in the morning. I could never go without breakfast before, but it's been easy last couple of days. I hope I can keep it going!
Just eat as soon as you get really hungry and eat your one meal or have two meals in a 5 hour window (is what I am doing and it’s working great 👍)
@@tfl4723 Thank you for the advice, I will do that 🙂
@@lydkababika you are welcome
Keep it up
I started intermittent fasting a year ago. Fasting from 7 pm until 9 am the next morning. Worked great as I’ve never been a breakfast eater and it cut out my evening snacking. Lost 10 lbs. Now I’m going to try this Keto diet so I can loose another 30 lbs and reach my goal.
No more insuline since Keto,very happy and healthy in only 3 weeks...
Congrats. As a 20+ year Type ll Diabetic I started a Keto Diet on June 1, 2018, 10 days later my blood sugars level was normal, my Doctor stopped all 4 shots of insulin & pills. Since then I lost 45 lbs on the Keto Diet. I continue the Keto Diet, almost carb free (
🙏🏾
Jimmy Kimpan congrats! That’s really awesome. I started Keto 3 weeks ago as a T2 diabetic. 60 years old with so much metal in my body from military service injuries in Iraq. I’ve been strict and have lost only 10 pounds. However, I’m 5’10” and weighed 164 lbs when I began. Since day one on keto, my blood sugar has been great. I was taken 25 units long acting insulin daily, plus whatever amount of short acting needed three times a day and I could never keep my blood sugar at 80. Now, I give myself 13 units long acting and may have to stop that completely bc my BS dropped to 53 before dinner tonight. Haven’t used any short term insulin at all since starting. My exercise is minimal due to my permanent injuries. I’m pleased with food I eat, but the scale hasn’t dropped in several days. I drink tons of water and only black coffee in the morning.
@@elteec01 Keep it up David, it'll work out and you will lose more.
I was just told I was in the prediabetes stages. Seeing your post makes me so happy. Thanks for sharing
Man… I was kind of feeling the mental clarity part for tiny reasons, just tiny things here and there
But the moment I realised I really, definitely had that mental clarity from ketogenesis is when I was reading an article online and I realized that not only I was understanding everything in the article effortlessly, but I was rushing through it, the reading was fast and fluid, which I don’t remember having since I was like 13 years old or something
Yes it feels like a super power, from a cheezy netflix film. I even joke with friends that I need to go zero carb again to get back my super powers, they laugh but they can sense that their is some truth in what I say
The last positives ones are my favorite as well! I suffered from Long COVID brain fog for 8 months and after have just had minor speech and memory issues. Once in ketosis, it was amazing to feel so sharp! Yes, the energy and positive mood as well. Great video thanks! Subscribed!

1. Not as hungry. Feel like im not eating enough.
2. Slight diarrhea
3. Pissing like a fire hose

Also he didn't mention is that your urine might take on a sweet smell and you will have to pee more often.
Some people have increased thirst
Also you might get leg cramps if you don't get enough salt and potassium while in Keto.
This is why salt is important as well as magnesium and potassium.
Drink lots of water.
Excellent video. I’m doing keto for the second time. I took a break of about 2 years. I maintained my weight for about a year with liberal low carb but in the last year I went back. to eating bad carbs and gained over 20 pounds. Lesson learned. My first time around, I had all of the side-effects for about a week. This time, they are less severe and are passing in 3 days, except for the revved up feeling. I still have that after 3 days. It makes me wake up often in the night but from my experience from last time it only lasts a week or so, but it comes back periodically. With that said, in general, I sleep very soundly on Keto.
Thank you so much for the information. The first thing I noticed was the lack of hunger. I eat 2 meals a day one around 12 noon and then 6-7Pm. I never thought I could fast, but for me it was no problem. I have lost about 10-15 lbs. I am 4' 11" and weigh 99 lbs and don't want to loose anymore.
1. Add Chia and more fiber rich veggies to overcome constipation
2. If you can’t really tolerate the headache, I use methol rubs.
3. I also take supplements during feasting time like potassium, zinc and vitamin D. I also put trace minerals in my water. You’re losing nutrients so we need to replenish them. Hope this is helpful ☺️
You also need a lot more salt than you have been used to.
That trace mineral replacement is very well advised. I do this in a very inexpensive and practical manner. Every cup of tea, decaf coffee or plain water that I drink I drop in a crystal of SEA SALT to get those trace minerals on a consistent basis. Go for the highest quality sea salt on the store shelf that you can find. Pink Himalayan is probably the best but you don't fine it everywhere.
I have been on Keto for two months. I'm starting to see my abs.
Ayyyyy hopefully soon I’ll be able to find mines!
If you can see your abs as a female it means your body is under great stress and you're likely temporarily infertile
may I see them?

I have been on a keto diet for over 1.5 years. I lost the weight I wanted, but mostly I did it to get more energy and feel better. I feel terrible when I eat anything with too many carbs, but I really don't prefer to lose any more weight. I'm having trouble figuring out what to eat to feel good but maintain the weight I'm at now.
Just eat when you’re hungry. Once you lose all your weight you want lose throw out calorie counting and eat when you’re hungry. Just by doing that you’ll have no trouble maintaining your weight.
Increase your intake of high quality oils avocado, walnut, cream
Been on Keto for 6 months.and never got the keto flu.
I found I’m suddenly waay more flexible than before. Nothing stiff or achey anymore, even in the morning!
I'm sick with a extremly rare muscle illness. Keto gives me more power to walk, breathe, talk,swallow....And I'm losing weight, which is also good for my muscles.
I cant stop recommending moringa. It has all amino acids the body needs and is a good source of vitamins that might be missing from a keto diet. It's just an overall good addition to the keto diet. It also helps stabilize glucose levels if you break the diet with small amounts of sugar.
Great presentation. My reduced hunger from Keto led me to intermittent fasting very easily. My busiest time of day is the morning and Ketogenic diet and intermitten fasting have helpedme but more productive in the mornings, with no energy drops throughout the day.
Suffered fatigue after a week for a good too weeks ie nodding off at desk . have been doing keto for about 3 months with skipping breakfast and occasional Omad amazing not hungry the only downside is bench press as dropped but on the plus side now I’ve lost over a stone pull ups have improved
Absolutely love low carb no cravings whatsoever
Nice presentation and refreshing to have an English chaps view
I love the mental clarity. Just about worth it for this alone.
Before I started Keto, I would be sleeping all weekend, wake up tired and about to fall asleep on the drive to work, be sleepy all day, about to fall asleep on the way home, and fall asleep after eating. Now that I am on Keto I can hardly sleep more than 8 hours a day.
Maybe you were in a coma before.
@@nancyl5804 yeah, sugar coma lol
I've lost a bit over 17 pounds in 6 weeks with keto . The intermittent fasting as you said had a much easier transition.
This was informative!! I was wondering if I was in Ketosis and the last 4 you listed. I have all 4. Weight Loss, Better Mental Clarity, More Energy & Reduced Appetite. Thanks so much!
The very first time I did low carb the "flu" was a almost a week long. I would feel fine and then I would crash randomly and even walking was exhausting. However, once that was over I can remember feeling great. Also I do recall the headaches and rapid heart beat and mild chest pains. This of course worried me but some materials I read at the time was that it was basically one's addiction to sugar/glycogen. I liked to give my body a personality and would use that as fuel, "that bastard is fighting back!" That too was short lived however.
On a sidebar, thinking back to before low carbohydrate, it angers me how one would get "low blood sugar" or that feeling when I had plenty of fat on me and I had eaten only a few hours before. It's like your body is lying to you and refuses to use that pantry of stored energy, jealously clinging onto its fat stores. It never made sense to me.
How did mankind function when food was scarce? It certainly wouldn't be an evolutionary benefit to collapse on the floor whenever you miss a meal. Once I discovered low carb I realized it's because we were never meant to eat that many carbohydrates.
I recall a funny column whose writer is lost to me. It was something like: "Carbs are actually quite rare in nature and those that did exist, like fruit, were much more fibrous and only available at certain times of the year. Don't believe me, go out in the forest and find some rye bread, pasta or a chocolate bar."
Thanks for the video. These keep me going!
I know this comment is from a long time ago, but in case anyone is reading, I think those symptoms of rapid heart beat / headache you describe are more about the loss of electrolytes. make sure you're consuming them enough :)
@@Evikeuklavier yea! feeling fatigued on a low-carb diet is quite of a common thing that happens when you're not having enough sodium or salt. that's why I've heard many recommend to increase your sodium intake when you're on a low-carb diet because your insulin levels go really low and your body starts shedding off the excess sodium. I also read that the decreasing level of carbs also means decreasing level of sodium
what I've been doing lately every morning is starting the day off with salty and cold lemon water. the freshness of the lemon and the salt kind of pumps you up a bit from the morning drowsiness :D
@@adiba8647 I sometimes just pour some salt in my hand and eat it 😅 but yeah! Salt is great. I pour a lot on my food. Avocados have a lot of potassium which we need too ☺️
@@Evikeuklavier agreed, I also would just like to have some salt on its own. Tho sometimes I just kinda overdo the salt on my food and that destroys the taste 💀

Low carb is great for removing joint stiffness.
It reduces inflammation which can be very unhealthy.
Idk I've been more active but started to feel knuckle stiffness. Rest me feels great
