First, let’s talk about what keto is. The ketogenic diet puts you into a state called ketosis. Ketosis is when your body switches from using sugar as fuel to using ketones as fuel. To do this, you have to lower your intake of carbs and sugars. This includes grains, starches, sugary drinks, bread, pasta, candy, and fruits (except some berries).
You also want to limit how often you eat. Every time you eat, you trigger insulin. Insulin stops fat burning and triggers fat storage. Our goal is to lower your insulin levels. The best way to stop triggering insulin spikes is to eat less frequently. This doesn’t mean you have to eat less food (or lower your calories)-it just means no snacking in between meals and only consuming food 1-2 times a day.
On the healthy keto diet, there is one exception to the no-carb rule. You can have as many low-carb vegetables as you want-just avoid starchy vegetables like potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn. You want to have 7-10 cups of vegetables every day.
After lowering your carbohydrates, you want to consume a moderate amount of protein. 3-8 oz of protein per meal. You should always consume meats with fat on them. Never go for lean or low-fat options. You can consume meat, fish, chicken, seafood, eggs (with the yolk), cheese, and nuts.
Once you’ve dialed in your protein, you want to focus on consuming healthy fats. Fats will help you stay full and satisfied. Healthy fats include avocado, butter, olive oil, coconut oil, and animal fats. Avoid soy oil, corn oil, and canola oil.
Once you’ve got the hang of keto, you should add in intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting is simply cutting back on your meals and allowing your body more time to recover from insulin. Here are three tips for intermittent fasting:
1. Only eat when you’re hungry
2. Skip breakfast
3. Stop snacking

For those who are watching this video for the first time - because you are fed up with being overweight - I just want to share that I have been doing a Keto diet for less than four months now and have lost 50lbs. I combine Keto with Intermittent Fasting (18 off/6 on). I eat two meals in that 6hr window - no snacking. I walk every morning. The toughest part to manage when you start is your brain telling you to grab a snack. You get plenty of fat, protein, and vitamins from the keto-friendly food you prepare. You're not going to starve - despite what your sneaky brain will try to tell you. Your enemy is the impulsive cravings that are bolstered by old habits. Prepare only good food. Manage the impulse eating. Adhere to your feeding window. Don't cheat. ....oh yeah ...and watch Dr. Bergs videos. Extremely helpful. You can do this. I did.
I agree! Thanks for posting this.
Did you or are you counting your calories?? How much and long are your walks??
@@REY-RUM : Honestly, the FASTING aspect is the CRITICAL piece in losing weight. You can run / walk all you want but if you're still dumping calories after and thinking "oh I'll burn that off by running or walking longer..." Nope doesn't work. Just walk to get some kind of activity to rev up your system and your physiology. But the TYPE of FOOD and the FASTING is what will make the biggest impact. You can do alot in 12 to 16 hours start there.
Motivating! Thanks!
@@REY-RUM I'm not counting calories, I'm just just paying attention to my portion size and making sure that I have a good balance of fats, veggies and proteins in each meal. I walk a mile a day.
January 2022 was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Learning and practicing a lifestyle that helps my pancreas and I am still here and feeling good.
How’s it going?
Good afternoon, can you please, tell me we’re you diagnosed while following ketogenic lifestyle?
Dr berg interviewed someone with stage 4 cancer that reversed the cancer with fasting for 45 days....hope this helps
@@donnasteinman9515 someone with stage 4 cancer also used blackseed and healed, mashallah
Well done...💜
6 weeks in and I'm down 30 lbs! The first 15 were gone in the first two weeks from the DRAMATIC loss of water weight that occurs when you stop eating all that sugary poison. The difference in the way I feel could only be compared to when I quit smoking and I look a heck of a lot better, too. Thanks Dr. Berg!
So proud of you brother Steve. Keep going!
Did you do intermittent fasting
Did you excercise
So awesome Steve!!!!
When you say, sugary poisons, are you relating that to fruit?
*I recoomend looking also at the specific keto diet called HyperKeto personally I think it's even better than carnivore and so on*
This guy is the man ! , listen and learn ! 200 lbs Nov 1st , 168 lbs now !
Congratulations! I hope to be there one day too! Not sure how big I am now but I got very big during my pregnancy
congratulations 40lbs lost = 8 cats off the tummy!
Congrats!! Which IF did you do? How many meals a day? I started nov. 23rd, lost 10 pounds.. you lost 32lbs in a month and 3 weeks! That’s awesome.. if you can share what you are doing...thanks!
That's awesome, Lee!
Nice
Update from 3 months ago - down 61lbs now, holding steady at 182!!!!! I feel amazing, and people say I look like I'm 30 years old (I'm 50). If anyone is on the fence about trying this lifestyle just give it 30 days and see how you feel. You will be amazed at the results. Keep in mind it's a LIFESTYLE and not a diet, that's the most important thing.
Well done. Really good for you. That is major weight loss. Can I ask, did you always eat a full 7 cups of vegetables?. This is what scares me about starting. I just can't picture having to eat that amount of veg. every day. Thank you, and may your success continue.
I have spent the last year on WW and managed to lose 38 pounds. I still need to lose another 20 and am hanging on by a thread with the counting points and low fat and always always hungry especially if I’m working out much which I do several times during the week. I’m trying to wrap my brain around this keto concept and it helps to read about people like you who have such amazing results from it especially the lifestyle vs diet point. I’ve been exploring keto and have been on the fence about it so this does help in making my decision. Thanks for sharing your amazing success.
@@HofB Congrats on your weight loss! I've been educating myself on nutrition since I started this and I've learned a few things. One important thing I've learned is that any diet telling you it's okay to eat pasta, bread, pizza, etc is clearly a company trying to make money. I've worked out my whole life in an effort to keep my weight at an acceptable level, eaten oatmeal and lean protein, low fat foods, etc. None of it worked! Six months on Keto and IF and I'm down 63lbs, plus I've worked out once since I started. I guess my message is to forget everything you've learned about diet and nutrition and start over with people like Dr Berg, Dr Jason Fung, Dr Sten Ekberg, the list goes on.
Best of luck!!
@@mbd6054 you can make it into a smoothie, dr. berg talks about his kale shake, that's probably 2c right there. when you juice or blend vegetables you get more cups of veggies for the actual cup you drink. you can also cut up veggies into the meat you have, like meatball, you can shred in carrot and onion and get another cup or two right with your meat. be creative!
@@servantrose Thank you very much. That all sounds far more manageable.
Ive recently started following the ketogenic diet with the *HyperKeto* plan, and I have to admit, Im seeing some impressive results! Energy all day long, and the fat is melting away.
I started keto because I got a tooth pulled and put my body into ketosis without trying so I stuck with it haha! Now I’m down over 70lbs and cooking food to show on RUclips! Idk what my life’s become my whole life has changed hahaha. GOODLUCK y’all!
I am forever grateful for the day when your video randomly played 3 years ago after I searched weight loss! I followed your steps and it worked. I lost 120 lbs and I have maintained my weight loss for 2 years now. Thank you Dr. Berg!!
how? more details pls
Wow that’s amazing
Do you live on this?
How you have maintained this much weight for two years could you tell us please ?
🤦♀️ You clearly stated that you began following his steps three years ago. Why are people asking you what you did? SMH Good grief!
I am 5’10” and was 255lbs, I started this 7 days ago with a commitment two do it for two weeks. My weight is down to 242 already and I’m feeling better. To anyone trying this the first 3-4 days are the roughest with sugar cravings then they go away. Now I’m looking to extend it for another two weeks. Thank you Dr. Berg!
Wooow that amazing, ll u please share Ur diet ,h Ur exercise routine 🙏🙏🙏🙏 please please please ,it ll help me out
@@sweetyworld2167 I’ve watched a lot of Dr. Bergs videos. I started with intermittent fasting but I wasn’t loosing weight. But what it did do was it taught my body to not crave food all day. I basically trained my body with fasting. Some weeks I would not eat for 3 days sometimes dry fasting for a day or two and I would still not keep the weight off. Even though I was eating 1 meal a day. So I learned that the quality of that meal is very important and that sugar is the issue. I started to read ever label and ate absolutely zero sugars and low carbs. Then the weight just fell away. I do not have an exercise routine. I do some body weight training 2-3 times a day when I think about it. That consists of 30-60 pushups or squats or stretches. Then I go on with my day, I do not focus on exercise. Once I perfect my fasting and diet then I will add exercise. Exercise will not fix a bad diet. As far as what I eat. Every meal starts with a cabbage and kale salad and usually I make a fatty meat and put it on top of the salad instead of dressing. The best advice I can give you is to change your relationship with food. Most cultures use food to celebrate, this makes food enjoyable. Stop enjoying food, eat things you don’t like. Most people don’t like work but they still go to work. Look at food the same way. Look at food for its nutritional value not the taste. Also, think of why you drink liquids, you need water that’s all, so just drink a good clean filtered water. I hope this helps you reach your goals.
@@alpha9526 hi dear ,I didn't expected u reply to me ,but when I saw your reply I m so happy to read Ur comments, Ur advice is really great , I ll definitely follow that n thanks a ton ,I m damn sure it ll help me out I just wanted to reduce 30 kg within 3 months, so please if is there any other suggestions for me please don't hesitate to share with me , it ll help me a lot , n congratulations for your success , bye 🙏🙏🙏
@@sweetyworld2167 I’m glad my advice gave you something to think about. That is a lot of weight to lose quickly. Be safe about it, sit and feel what you body feels like, if your fasting and something just doesn’t feel right then eat something. I hope you reach your goal, take care of yourself.
@@alpha9526 thanks 😊😊❣️
Keto was a scary endeavor for me. I had coworkers on keto. When they explained the rules and frequency to eat, I was overwhelmed. Decided their plan was not for me. Stumbled upon this researching how to cure fatty liver. After listening to his plan, decided to give it a try. Price is right,free, and do not need to buy anything. I am hooked. Just did my first 2 day fast. Key is to eat your salad and pick a fatty meat. At first I used as much olive oil and vinegar as desired with salt and pepper on salad. I also ate as much meat as desired. I suffer from from leg cramps. Bought the electrolytes drink and Do sea salt.. works,, no leg cramps.. After watching more shows, decided to cut back olive oil to 1 tblsp and limit meat to 3 to 4 oz, so my body burns off body fat rather than food fat. Since this is my decision, not bad at all, plus it makes sense. We implemented 1 hour of walking every other day for exercise. Allows me to rest my back for next walking session. I started with 2 meals because I was not hungry for breakfast. After 3 to 4 days, I felt different with lessened hungry pains. Hunger went away,, this is how I know I'm in ketosis.. Just stayed on track and found myself in ketosis. I was able to naturally transition to one meal a day. I selected an early dinner 3 to 4 pm. I have a husband not interested in keto. He prefers to eat all 3 meals and this allowed us to eat together once a day. If he ate out and I didn't want to eat, I had a glass of water or cup of coffee with half and half. Satisfies him,, because he has my company.. About 3 weeks into the process, I felt confident to try fasting for 2 days. Success, I did my first 2 day fast. Now, I am going to fast Saturdays and Sundays, then eat 1 meal a day Monday thru Friday. This is the easiest thing I have ever done. By the way, my husband and I had a pact to limit ice cream to once a month. Well, that event came up. I was a wreck I would fall off keto and not able to start again. We went and had the ice cream together. Little shaky at first, but I persevered and got back on keto the next meal which was the next day.. my body easily transitioned into keto than I could if following an another eating plan. I am back and feel great again. Do not advise testing the waters with foods outside of keto. Leaves you feeling lousy, no reward with that one. If you desire of a taste of ice milk,, try half and half with Splenda instead, then let it go,go, you can get back to write your success story. Next month is his birthday. I am going to suggest to go somewhere where he can get his treat and i can eat keto. We rv because we are retired. I may fast while we travel, so I don't have to worry about food choices. Will lengthen fasts more before we travel to test how I feel. If you haven't tried keto, try, you may be surprised. Don't force the next steps, just allow your body to naturally transition. Thank you for reading. Wish I found this 20 years ago. Would have saved me months and months of dieting and thousands of dollars.
Splenda is poison! Use Monk fruit or Organic Stevia🙂
No more once a month ice cream for me. My lactose sensitivity acted up from bite throughout digestion process. Does not break my heart. Ketosis feels better and makes me happier..
Wow thanks for the detailed breakdown about your keto journey and insights. Appreciate it. I lost heaps of weight(6kg/13 pounds) and 10 cms around my waist in the first week. Nothing in the second and third week and starting to put a few grams on in my 4th. Left scratching my head I'm doing one, or multiple, things wrong. The positive side effects of no cravings and hunger, better sleep and amazingly clear skin for the first time since I was 12 years old. I'm 50 this year and my adult acne was the worst in my life. On my neck especially and I was never a day spot free but now I've only had one in 4 weeks! It is literally a miracle in my eyes. For those reasons alone it's worth persevering ❤
thansxxxx
I love Dr. Berg and his advice. A year ago I started keto in in six months I had lost 60 pounds. I didn’t even exercise. I felt so much better and got off of a lot of meds like pre-diabetes medicine, high blood pressure medicine, and anti-depressants.
nice GOD BLESS
🎉That's awesome🎉
And being on keto is safe for you with Diabetes? I’v been on thyroid meds for years. I didn’t think was safe being on keto.
Remember the scale is deceiving. You might plateau at some point, so be aware of that. I always went with how my clothes fit rather than the scale.
@@geno5169 Yes it helps reverse diabetes and will sometimes correct thyroid problems too. Why do you think it’s not safe?
He broke this down in the most simplest form I’ve been doing hella research trying to learn how to truly start keto. Thank you for this content!
Hi. I thought Id share my experience. Best thing is that even if you fail keto, like me, you still cut out alot of carbs and sugar and will lose weight anyways. It gets easier because the carb addiction is getting less and less each week.
For me, i empty my fridge of everything except vegetables and chicken because the craving will come and you’ll be scavenging for any snack. I jog at the gym almost every day so i feel less hungry because then the body is busy rebuilding that rather than just sending eat signals.
Same. I watched the videos from Dr. Ken D Berry, Dr. Eric Berg and Thomas DeLauer. The two doctors are consistent in their message. DeLauer says to eat dairy (Greek yogurt) in his beginner‘s plan, but in another video says not two for the first two weeks. He also mentions eating lean meats for lunch. The doctors call for more fat.
Then we have the breakfast debacle. Two say to eat breakfast, while one says not to. I’m going to go with the breakfast but slowly phase it out. Of course this is all learn as you go and adjust fire to meat (haha) your body’s needs.
@@TheBooban Yes that’s what I’ve been doing and definitely have been losing weight. Thank you for this tip too

@@antoniobranderas It is hella confusing and contradictory 😩

I am learning this firsthand. I have energy from the moment. I wake up at 5:30 AM until the moment I force myself to sleep (because I’m not tired) at 11 PM. Absolutely consistent energy all day. Creativity.
I’ve had more ideas than ever since going keto. Incredible mental clarity. It’s awesome!
I’m so grateful for what I have learned from Dr. Berg.
Bullet point for my reference:
Low carbs, 2 meals a day
-Cut out ALL sugars (honey, agave nectar, brown/white sugar, etc.)
+Can replace sugars with sugar alchohols (
- Avoid fruit except berries in small amounts (raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries)
- Avoid Grains (breads, pasta, cereal, crackers)
+ Can replace with almond flour
- Avoid starches like potatoes
+ Can replace with cauliflour (cauliflour crust pizza)
Vegetables (7-10 cups a day) -eat 1st in a meal
+ Salads
+ Bell peppers, cabbage, broccoli, kale, brussel sprouts, carrots, tomatoes, beets, etc.
Protein (3-8oz maybe more if you are an athlete) -eat 2nd in a meal
+ Meat, Fish, Chicken, Seafood
+ Eggs
+ Cheese (don't go overboard)
+ Nuts -or- Nut butter (sugar free)
* Consume protein that has more fat
- Avoid whey protein powder bc it increases insulin levels
Fats -eat 3rd in a meal
+ Avocado
+ Butter (Use to cook or melt over vegetables)
+ Olive oil (can use on salads)
+ Coconut oil
- Avoid soy oil, corn oil, canola oil, cottonseed oil, sunflower oil (appear in salad dressings and mayo)
This is great, but berries apparently are tomatoes, avocado, eggplant, not strawberries and other fruits which has berries in name. This is very confusing. So what 'berries' to eat?
Thank you bro
Playing around with starting keto. I gave myself a challenge this weekend to replace a craving for "greystone Bakery" blondie with a keto substitute. I spent a good ~$50 buying keto friendly ingredients to make a replacement for a ~ $2.50 treat.
I am not willing to give up fruit longterm...maybe at the end of summer when my favorite fruits or out of season, I challenge myself to a month or so of full blown keto
The benefits I see in being keto minded this past two days is mindfulness about eating habits which could transition to mindfulness and discipline in other areas. For example. I am now more mindful about adequate veggie consumption. And portion control with fruits, sweets, and dessert.
If I ever get deeper into keto, it would be for the mental benefits more than the weight loss.
I am aware of the cognitive benefits of extended fasting, if keto can mimic that, well then...
do u think old fashioned oats are part of the no carbs?
@@e.d5454yes
So lovely to listen to someone who doesn't sound manic and for whom I don't have to turn down the volume.
He’s nice and calm. A voice of reason.
Totally unrelated but I love your profile pik. Go Ena!
😂 manic. I know what you mean
Hi Ena
should i care about calories in keto? yes or no? im int. fasting 18-20hours a day whats the max grams of carbs/sugar i can take a day? and do vegetable carbs count into that aswell? should i count calories during keto ?
I really enjoy the fact that you speak slowly!!
He has filmed the videos before 12noon.
Yeah, its better for people out of UK/USA like me. But i dont understand all type of measure like Oz ite better to explain in KG/Grams.
I really enjoy all your videos! Very informative.
@@nenadpetkovic9680 no, because the people inside the US don't understand the metrics system.
Wow I’ve never watched a whole video on keto because I was never as invested,because the people weren’t explaining the way I would comprehend, but you sir have explained it to me beautifully I can actually understand everything. Now I’m not confused on how this will work for me.
I'm so glad to hear this! Best of luck on your keto journey.
@@Drberg is it ok if I only eat in the morning (breakfast time) within a 1 hour window? Eating in the other times (lunch/breakfast) makes me feel a bit uneasy and I’ve been eating only in the morning cutting out sugars for 2 months now and I feel amazing. The “skipping breakfast” part had me confused.
@@hmm7808 it's a priority to avoid breakfast in keto
One thing to keep in mind is you need fat not lean meat. The meat industry is pushing lean meat. The fatty meat keeps you from snacking and is satisfying.
I sometimes get a little shaky and weak if I don't eat in the morning..any suggestions
Two months in and I’ve already lost 20 pounds and feel so much more energetic and less hungry. Thank you, Dr. Berg. You really saved my health
I’m at 230 in weight and 5’5 height. My goal is at 160 in weight. My Journey starts tomorrow on Keto. I’m hoping I have the strength to pull this off. I will be back in 3 months to tell my results
That’s my height , my starting weight , and my goa weight. I started keto roughly a week ago at 230 and I’m down 6lbs. Hoping to get down to 160
Best of luck!! Resist the urges!! You can do it! Listen to Dr Berg for your motivation! 💪🏼
Good luck
Good luck. I’ve just come across the channel and although I never followed Keto I can guarantee that if you cut out all processed foods for starters you will definitely restore your gut bacteria and rebalance your gut biome.. this will help you digest properly and feed you in the right way to bring health back to your body. I would also recommend that you examine your faeces at the start and then again three months later you will see a massive difference. Once you are healthy you can use this examination as an early warning sign that something is amis in your digestion once you know what is normal for you
I just started too. I'm "cheating" because I don't want to find myself giving up because I feel like I am hungry too often. So my eating window is 8 hours (and I still have a snack if it gets too bad), then I'll gradually cut down to 6 or less hours. I also started out still having a few carbs (mostly so I don't have to throw them out), but those are done now. Keep in mind this is not a fad diet, it is a complete lifestyle change, you'll have to do this forever. I have 50 pounds to lose and keep off.
I am 46, 5’6”
After watching this video, I started keto on Dec 19th @ 218 lb’s.
Today (March 7th) I am 185 lb’s
All of your keto , night sleep, cold shower, etc. videos, have helped guide me very effectively.
And yes I agree, this is not a diet, it is a life style and along the way I continue to learn more and more about keto.
Thank you 😊
I lost 12 kg 6 weeks 👍💪💪💪💪
Congratulations on your journey bro, just remember it’s a lifestyle not a diet.
I’m 5’3” and 141 pounds. After 3 months I’m down to 130! Five more to go!
@@joycewright5386 Congratulations on your success! I'm 16 months in and holding steady at 178lbs, never thought I'd be under 200lbs but here I am.
Keep it up!
Congratulations 🎊 and great job!
Every day Im learning more about the ketogenic diet thanks to HyperKeto. Its not just about losing weight, but also improving overall health and well-being... come on u know that.
Week 9 on Keto + intermittent fasting, lost 38lbs so far and I'm still losing weight. I usually eat 2 meals a day between 12 and 6pm, omad on weekends if I'm staying busy. This combination works like magic, the weight just melts off of you.
Seriously so awesome to read. Thank you so much for sharing.
Can you describe what you do exactly?
@@rawwoodgifts8117 I have coffee in the morning with a little cream. Around 1230pm I have lunch, usually salad with olives and tomatoes in it, plus home made dressing using olive oil, either balsamic or apple cider vinegar and a little dijon mustard. Along with the salad I have something else like a homemade soup made with chicken thighs, tomato, ginger, onion, spinach and bone broth. Dinner is usually around 545pm and I'll have a little fatty protein like Salmon, grass fed beef or eggs along with more veggies or an avocado. I drink lemon water throughout the day and occasionally a little scotch at night. That's it! I will say that I make everything I eat myself, no processed food anywhere in my diet. I think this is key because you know what you're eating, no hidden garbage. Also since writing I'm now down 51 lbs and wearing 34 waist jeans for the first time since I was 20 years old. People ask me when I'll stop dieting and I say never, it's not a diet, it's a lifestyle. I will settle at a weight at some point but it's up to my body to decide what weight that is.
Try it for 30 days, you won't ever go back to junk food after feeling as good as you'll be feeling.
Best of luck!
@@shaneg0070 i thought the creamer in the coffee would break your fast though? 🤔 I've been IF and just having plain black coffee in the morning 😵 but I can't go without my coffee, lol. Congrats on your success and thank you for sharing!
@@ginam5683 try whipping cream for the fat content.
Glad to hear about Intermittent Fasting. I'm a retired lady who recently became diabetic. The Dr insists I need to follow the standard diabetic diet- eating 6-8 meals a day. I only eat when I'm hungry-2x a day. I believe my body will tell me when it's hungry just like when it's tired or whatever. So, I was a good little patient and did as I was instructed. That leads to taking insulin, swollen feet, and barely able walk. Enough of that, no more insulin the water retention is going away, I only eat when hungry. My glucose numbers are improving. And I feel better not to mention I am losing weight.
Same thing happened to me. I started IF list weight and do not take fast acting insulin anymore! I am starting to think the standard diabetic practices from health care are only supporting pharmaceutical company's and almost killed me with meds. Diabetes caused heart issues, diabetic retinopathy if I would have done IF or OMAD in 1989 instead of diabetic clinics I just wonder if I could have prevented all the health issues I have now??.
I'd call him up abd ask for a refund and send them here. It's malpractice to not know this.
Good for you! Following standard medical advice is a prescription for a prescription!
I’m 55 and was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes 6 months ago. I started listening to Dr Berg and have reversed my Diabetes, I have lost 40 lbs, I’m off my statins and thank God I turned my Diabetes around before they put me on Metformin. My knee arthritis has all but disappeared too! My Diabetes coach also told me to eat a lot of small meals too. Why do they try tell us to do the opposite of what really works?? It’s almost like they want people to stay sick!!!
Hi there! Are you type 1 diabetic and insulin dependent? I am and take the fast acting insulin at meals and the long lasting insulin. Been leaving so many comments on Dr. Berg’s videos for advice on being keto and an insulin dependent diabetic. I’m guessing it works but we just have to take less insulin or else our sugar will go too low and cause us to have to eat sugar to bring it up which is not what we want. Would love advice from fellow diabetic like me who has tried this. I already am on a low carb diet, barely eat any refined carbs, no added sugar, only eat blueberries as my fruit and like only 1 ounce at a time, mostly I eat veggies, healthy fats and proteins. Thanks in advance is anyone sees this comment and offers advice!❤
I have done this diet for 10 days. My partner noticed a difference in my breathing within 3 days. It has also helped my stools, thigh cramps, mental health, especially concentration. Focusing better, and losing weight, so 5 ways so far. I have no doubt it will lower BP and LDL cholesterol once I am in keto mode next Thursday. Thanks for your help. I have said this to help others.
How are you doing now ?
I've been checking my blood sugar for about a year because if noticing low cognitive functions tingling and numbness in my finger and toe tips, tingling lip and skin.. I've never seen my blood sugar drop below 120 the entire time. I've started following your advice and within three days I've seen below 100 results. And started to feel the reduced numbness in my fingertips and toe tips. Thanks I look forward to this lifetime change
Your MD needs to check an A1C.
Whenever I feel like giving up, I watch his videos.... His videos are like a motivation even if he doesn't necessarily conveys that. ❤️
Yeah totally agree! I haven't tried going keto but just cutting out 90% of my sugars and 75% of my carbs went from 192.5 to 163.5 but after a year got tired of eating salad and started eating my gummy bears again! Now at 177 trying to get back on track! And now writing this, I'm motivated for salad tonight!
I also like that Dr. Berg only lives 40 minutes from me!

Well said & true.Thx.
Me too!
Is it that restrictive?
Don't give up , love your self
Wow! In 2.5 months I have lost 38 pounds. I can see my abs instead of flabs. I feel great, and I love the food that I eat. I'm never hungry and my mood is incredibly stable. Thank you Dr. Berg, you're the doctor I aspire to be.
That's fantastic! Congratulations! Dr. Berg would love to hear about your success with Keto! Please use this link to upload your story:

@@Drberg yo
where's the consultant number?
i got questions
i initially thought if i cut out grains and ate 6oz meat a day with a chicken salad at evening and a chard wrap burger for breakfast everyday i'd be fine.
6 weeks later i was feeling subtle acute chest pains.
any idea why?
so i stopped eating meat again and the chest pangs stopped.
then i started doing more research.
discovered i ate a lot of berries, kombucha tea and coconut water which all add to the lvl of sugar in the blood! LOL
but y'all say berries are fine.
just no fruit.
is there really a difference?
what about grease?
i used to warm up my bone broth in the grease from the chicken the night b4.
isn't grease liquid fat?
how is ghee any different??
the other documentaries claimed that saturated fat, i.e. cholesterol levels, don't matter and have NOTHING at all to do with the cholesterol buildup inside blood vessels.
they say that those accumulations are derived from high carb high sugar diets w/o explaining how or why.
...
questions...
QUESTIONS THAT NEED ANSWERING!!!
gratsi
@@pangorbalm8086 I heard him say to eat berries, but you have to be very careful as to how many carbs you're getting from them. Obviously it's not a free for all.
@@pangorbalm8086 I think every meat is not good for everyone, just eat what's making your body feel good, I prefer turkey, chicken or seafood, meat always fresh, once I put it in the freezer it's no longer good for my stomach. Try it out for you and find your comfy food. 😊
Congratulations! Do you have loose skin? I've just started and would like to know.
been on keto, specifically hyperketo (kind of different but it's like 50/50 carnivore and keto) and lost 115 lbs.
Embarking on my ketogenic diet journey and Ive chosen HyperKeto. Hoping it helps me achieve my health and fitness goals hehehe
I’m down 50 lbs. just from taking advice from Dr. Berg!!! Thank you so much for your care and concern 🤗
50lbs! Awesome. Thank you so much for sharing.
More feedback since you started healthy keto?
Nice
Congratulations!!! You are an inspiration to all of us here :)
Did u consume ice cream?
I love food and travel. I travel to eat and to cook. I am still very healthy. I follow a Mediterranean style diet with lots of seafood, chicken, olive oils, cheese,and vegetables. I still eat bread pasta and rice but in small amounts. I am in my sixties and get lots of exercise by walking gardening and cycling. I think a balanced lifestyle is the most important thing and to have a great social life.
Ok. Just for fun, would you try have No carbs (except leafy vegetables) for 3 weeks? Just organic fats (including plenty of avocados) and high quality eggs or meat/fish? Just to see what happens 😁?
I eat a lot of sugar but i compensate it with having a healthy outlook in life by trying to always find joy and happiness in every little thing and i do have several chatrooms during this lockdown that we get to make fun of one another as we reminisce our elementary/high schoold days/crushes. I also have a circle of Christian friends and we meet every other Friday to study the Bible and draw strength and be inspired of each other's testimonies of God's goodness amidst this pandemic.
Ok, so what.
@@montanamike7948 are u upset? Comments here are just facts of their lives and can be taken with a grain of wisdom.
👍🏼 Joe, I’m at my goal and I understand what you’re saying. Food and eating is more than just nourishment. The key is small amounts of bread, pasta & rice, as you said. Some people can’t stop themselves with a small amount and it seems like it’s all or nothing. Then you have to take a more rigid approach and skip the little treats. It’s a journey and we figure it out as we go.
I would like to say, "Thank you, Dr. Berg"!!! This is the truth: I love how you present all of the information in your videos with such compassion! Honestly, I began having serious issues with my liver. I started feeling depressed, worried, and sick until I came across You. I began to follow exactly what you said regarding the Ketogenic Diet and Intermittent fasting, and within THREE DAYS ( I can't believe it) I bounced back, for real! The edema in my legs and feet went away, I lost about one pound, began to urinate regularly, my mood and energy levels elevated, and I am no longer afraid. I have been wheelchair-bound my entire life and raising my precious 10-year-old Grandaughter, so I MUST be in the best shape possible. Again, thank you for providing this Gift to us all!! One more comment: You should visit Denver, CO.! We would definitely embrace you here in the Rocky Mountains!!! -Sincerely, Paulina B.
So proud of you!
So I only discovered all of this at end of November. I started keto like first week of December. In between that I went on holiday and had a few cheat meals I couldn’t resist since I was in Ghana where my parents are from! I have still managed to lose 4kg considering the fact that my weight wasn’t budging for a while. I have had ibs for as long as I could remember and I no longer have any gut issues. My energy levels have improved as I take the Dr Berg electrolytes too. Just want to say a huge thank you Dr Berg. I remember coming here for the first time and reading all the testimonials in the comments and I never thought I would be one of them! God bless x
I’m starting 𝐊𝐞𝐭𝐨 this week. Wish me luck!!💫
What are you going to eat on your first day? Good luck!
You got this!!
yay !!! I am starting this week and slowly. Pre-condition here so need to be careful. All the best Cindy.... we can do this :-) Hope we can all give each other support in the comments and keep in touch !
I started keto Jan 1st...
Let’s do it together...
@@tayyabarana6099 yay....one more !!!!
Almost 1 month on keto. I’m down 14 lbs. 174 to 160. 140 lb or lower weight goal! Thank you Dr Berg. Grateful to have found your channel!
Wow your start weight is what I am now! Hope you don’t mind me asking but what’s your ratios?
Well done!
That’s awesome!!!!
I’m 175lb I’m inspired it took you a month to lose 14. That’s great
I'm wondering if losing weight this much in a short period of time isn't required an loose skin surgery?
I’ve just stared keto yesterday. Or attempted rather. Don’t be too overwhelmed just cut carbs first then make adjustments along the way, gain more knowledge and add/remove foods. That’s what I’m doing as I was getting a little stressed in the stores yesterday. Don’t do that. Just begin that’s the most important part.
Second day on keto and the neurological pain in my neck is almost completely gone. I woke up this morning without feeling groggy and without feeling like I’m in fight or flight. I feel more alert. I feel relief. Thank you God.. and thank you Dr. Berg.
That's incredible progress! Keep up the great work on your keto journey!
Absolutely, this man is legit! I am also living proof that if you do what he is telling you to do that you can and will see results. I am 56 years old and 5ft.11in. tall. Three months ago I weighed 280 lbs. and had an A1C of 8.3. I started following the good doctor's advice and I just had my follow up appointment with my own doctor and he was shocked to say the least. My weight is down to 240 lbs. and my A1C is 6.3!

@@nazeemasamodien9421 Did you watch this video? Watch it again. He says what to eat, shows pictures of food to eat and wrote on the board the names of food.
John, you ROCK. I am shopping on Friday. I am ready, willing and able. Keep us posted on your fabulous success.
@@Drberg I am mesmerized by your generosity and information. I am taking the leap of faith. I googled your information and it is sound. I have hope for the first time in a long while. I have had gastric bypass and gained 55 pounds eating my wows away for the past 4 years. I just poured my first cup of coffee without sugar and coffee mate. Not bad. I have binged today on hours of you and a lifestyle I believe is reasonable. I took before pictures and will do so every 2 weeks. I will be creating a PowerPoint presentation of success. I feel tremendous joy. Thank you Dr. Berg for your wisdom.
I like to eat a big salad that I top with my protein - a tin of salmon, or chicken and bacon and cheese. Love fresh grated Parmesan with the salmon on my salad. Plus, I make my own salad dressing with olive oil.
I wish you would make me a salad that sounds delicious
I'm a traditional Naturopath and love your concise and practical explanations of melding Keto and my blood type O diet. I am new to intermittent fasting, but willing to do it as I reset my metabolism this spring!
I can listen to this man talk all day! He just took all my anxiety away about starting this new journey!
I know right 😖😖
I said the same thing after watching the first video i saw of him!!
I agree. He has a very calming affect and he makes everything easy to understand💗
For a 17-year-old, like myself, it is very beneficial to be knowledgeable about these things in early life, so I can implement and maximize them throughout my lifetime. Having people like you Dr. Eric Berg, sharing your knowledge on how they will improve their life with others you don't even know, for free, is such a blessing that I will be forever grateful for. Now, I've finally restored my faith in humanity. Thank you, my guy.
I'm going to do this, good luck with my journey. I hope it works out for the best. I'll try my best to update every once in a while, to see any progress or notable changes in my body. Good luck to y'all.
Good luck to you! 😘

How are you doing?
I have tried so many different keto diet programs in the past, but nothing has ever worked for me. I feel like I am always hungry and my cravings are out of control. I started using HyperKeto a few months ago and it's made keto easy, sustainable, & even enjoyable! The food is high quality and there are no restrictions on what you
What is Hyperketo?
It's amazing how many videos he just keeps making and making I never get bored all his videos are definitely a Christmas gift god bless you
He puts so much information in the videos plus pics, in only a few minutes. Some of his thumbnails are so funny.❤
I always learn something new! The more I watch now, the more I understand the older ones that I didn’t quite get before.
And ALWAYS brief, and straight to the point. Lots of important information, in a short period of time.
Miss Lynn you are right!
@@christinaalban3717 That is the main reason I keep watching or listening to him. I play the youtube videos on my cell phone which is connected to my car's speakers via Bluetooth. On my drive to and from work, at least 1 or 2 videos per day. Very useful information. I actually started taking notes on things I plan to incorporate.
Hello,
Hope you are well. Just wanted to share my journey so far. I was at my heaviest at over 105kg (230 pounds) in January this year. I stumbled on Dr Berg while researching about gout. Having tried many approaches to loose weight with little or no improvement. We started Keto and IF late January and I am now under 95kg (210 pounds).
Additionally, I went to see my doctor to discuss my pathology report this week. I asked him how he was, and he replied "everything is perfect". I did not realise that he was referring to my report!
Thank you!!
I have been following a Keto diet for two years. I didn't start it for weight loss, as I was happy with my weight; I began it to lead a healthier life. After adopting a keto diet, I noticed a significant increase in my energy levels-I now feel energized throughout the day, a change from before. Additionally, this diet helped me realize that I have a gluten sensitivity. While I don't have Celiac disease, I was experiencing significant bloating and stomach upset, which were also affecting my mental health. Moreover, my skin has become more radiant than before. Overall, since starting this diet, I have become much healthier and have stopped relying on drugs and extra vitamins.
I started eating grains again, and fat started to pile back up. It's the carbs and the sugars that makes or breaks.
Spread the word!
Keto rules
Not true, unless you are insulin resistant . Eat a total of 500 cal a day, made up of mostly carbs...... you'll lose a ton a weight. Studies have shown keto to NOT be superior to normal calorie restrictive diets. In addition on Keto, you are not allowed to eat as many calories as you like why? Because excess calories (irrespective of their source) will result in weight gain.
@@mrm700 no you are allowed to eat as much as you want actually.
But you just have to restrict carbs.
Go look up the carnivore diet, you are literally allowed to be a glutton.
And it cures obesity at the same time.
Carnivore is keto's brother
@@mrm700 Studies have shown calorie restrictive diets to slow metabolism. The body will reduce its output to match input if one is on a calorie restricted diet for a prolonged period. This doesn't happen with intermittent fasting nor keto.
@@mrm700 funny how a lot those studies are funded by the billion dollar pharma and food industries. I don't trust a lot of studies for that reason.
Keto and Berg changed my life- GOD BLESS YOU ...Merry Christmas

@@bftigdd even in Swahili baba means father and Musa means Moses

Mousa, I agree with you
I have really dry hands. Can you help me please?
Thank you so very much Dr Berg, really finding that afternoon slump has gone. Its only been a few days on this new way of eating. Its working! You are a great teacher too! Thanks.
*HyperKeto : Hold my pint*
As I was growing up, I never wanted to eat breakfast. I was thin and people always asked me how I did it and I just thought I was lucky. Now in my 60’s, I’m overweight (for me) at 136, 5’4” and feel sluggish with gut problems (probably fatty liver). I decided this week to go back to intermittent fasting as I’ve been successful with it in the past. I’m trying to eat in a 4 hour window but yesterday it was 5. I’m already sleeping better! My husband thinks I’m not being wise. I told him to look at the slim and trim Dr. Berg!
Well done for your persistence. You can make it! Have you checked Dr Berg's Facebook group? There are really lots of people showing their progresses with healthy keto and intermittent fasting ✨✨✨Anyone can see the truth for themselves.
I don't understand how 136 pounds at 5'4" is a problem?
You are wise! Keep it up.
@@donnat3958 it’s probably because of where she is carrying that weight. I’m 5’1 and i weigh 52kilo which is roughly 114 pounds and I’m considered healthy weight, but I hold quite abit of it in my belly area which means it’s unhealthy. I’m working on it though ☺️
I never used to as well but was sold the “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” line so many times I adjusted to that. Damn!
February will be 2 years on healthy Keto for me. Best decision I ever made. Got a buddy on it 4 months ago and he’s lost 40 lbs, quit drinking, quit smoking and he feels amazing. This stuff works and Dr Berg is the best. Dig deeper into his thousands of videos if you really wanna learn the nuances of Keto. Merry Christmas everyone! Let’s hope for a better year in 2021🙌
Have you taken any Dr berg supplements??
@@DileepKumar-fb7tn yes I take the wheat grass juice, electrolyte powder and his trace minerals supplement every day.
Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you too.

Fewer. Eat fewer meals. Love this channel, it’s incredibly helpful and informative. Thank you.
I'm feeling so good. I've lost 17kg in 12 weeks. I'm finding only eating two meals a day easy and I'm starting to only eat one meal. The video's are so very informative and explain keto so clearly. Highly recommend those wanting to do or are on keto to watch Dr Bergs video's
I want to thank you Dr for sharing your knowledge with us. We spend half of our lives in schools, college and universities. We pay thousands of dollars for our education. Yet, we are not given any information about living a healthy life or any information about finances. I feel uneducated after having a degree. So thanks for your contribution to humanity. Could you show us what you eat in a day and in a week please.
It’s 1 am and I’m binge watching. This man is heaven sent. Godspeed Dr. Berg we are so blessed to have you!
Awesome. Are you doing healthy keto now?
Thank you so much! 😭 This video is not overwhelming. I believe i can do them slowly especially the "add fasting" part. Hoping it'll help with my weight and skin

Just said I'd add my story/progression. Watched this video 6 weeks ago and I'm down 36.5lbs. I'm male, 40, 5.8 and got to 285.3 at my heaviest. I'm sticking pretty close to what is said. (Week 1, -10.1lbs) (Week 2, -7.2lbs), (Week 3, -5.2lbs), (Week 4, -4.8lbs) (Week 5, -1.8lbs) and (Week 6, -7.4lbs). I'm feeling great and want to get back down to about 190lbs, when I did weight lifting and some sports. Anyone that has questions, please ask. It has been challenging but nowhere near as much as I thought. I do have 1 take-away meal a week but having that keeps me grounded..I feel. 30min walk in the morning & 30 in the evening. Some chest exercises. Lunch & dinner. that's really it. Thank you Dr. Berg for making a video that was so helpful and easy to understand. Michael - Ireland.

Wonderful results - congratulations! Would you mind sharing a few ideas on meals you have each day, please? Thank you. All, what do you eat at your take away meal each week. Thank you.
@@susanarcher3353 Hello Susan. Most days I stick to the same lunch / dinner combo. Lunch would be 4 eggs, cheese, chicken/ham, peppers, cucumber. I make that into either scrabbled eggs or an omelette. Some fruit like raspberries, strawberries or blueberries with a cup of tea. Dinner is usually either chicken/steak/fish/bacon with vegetables. Usually broccoli and cauliflower. Drink is water with a splash of cordial. The take-away is always a chicken box from a local shop. 3 pieces of southern fried chicken with home made style chips (fries). That's it. Hope it is informative.🙂
I am only one week into this program. Did you have any issues with your lower tract being somewhat loose if I can use that term?
@@marcschoenfeld Well done on getting past Week 1. I'm now at the end of Week 9. I think I get what you mean. Even though I eat veg like cauliflower, I find the opposite. I drink adequate water etc but I'm not a loose as I would like. Might need to eat more nuts etc.
Just for people's information, it's three years later and that number is still live. Just had a wonderful, informative and very encouraging conversation with Paulette and am looking forward to the next step in this adventure.
A big thanks to you Dr. Eric , for teaching us those things that we cannot learn anywhere else. I come from Greece and I was always a fat kid , and all my life was struggling with my weight. At my 18yo i decided to do the normal 5 meal diet + gym and to be honest it worked . So in one year i lost around 40 kilos (from 112 went to 72) . But the hard part was to keep it (its very hard for me to be with the clock all time and have always something around to eat) and God that hunger i remember it until today. So between my 18yo and 25yo it was gain and loose all the time , until i gave up and said , "thats enough , i dont want to be hungry anymore."
So now at my 38yo I weighted 166 kilos and everything became very hard. I take 2 pills a day for blood pressure and the smallest distance i walk im out of breath.
I was watching videos of dr Eric and other ppl on youtube talking about keto and IF and said to try it. The results were amazing. First week i lost 5 kilos and next week another 5. I already feel the difference since im more active , sleep better , fog and that feeling of being always tired gone and most important not hungry. The first 3 days were hard and I had sugar cravings , so i bought a six pack of cola light to quench my sweet tooth. After 3 days that left also and now i dont even want to drink that diet cola since its not the most healthy drink in the world. But the most important was today . I went for a walk with my family and i didnt run out of breath. Small things for normal people but for me it is an achievement. So to all the ppl out there who hesitate to do this diet , I suggest to start today.
Wow, well done! I am positive that you will get there - I too am new to Keto, and have been doing it for a week, and I love it!
Μπράβο παικταρα

@@zinastanescu Follow his videos to know what to eat. Choose from the lists he gives on his videos of suggested healthy Keto foods. He does say not to forego fat. You need to eat fat so your body will burn fat rather than sugar. That's the only way you'll lose weight. Choose nuts and cheese or fish if you don't like red meat. All the best!
@@Drberg sir i want to start pls tell me what i eat in breakfast lunch and dinner
Congrats Sherril. I've tried and failed at Keto several times. Please can you give me an idea of what kind of meals are your staple w/ keto? I struggle because I have to cook for the whole family, and they all want their carbs because they dont have weight or health issues thank God. I really want to get serious now, but what's holding me back is having enough variety in my diet. I dont want to be eating the same ol' limited choice of meals every day while I'm cooking chicken biryani and lasagne for the family :(
Well, I had to scroll down pretty far to see this!! Your knowledge about Keto ROCKS!!!
Watching these videos along with intermittent fasting....in just under a year i lost 40kg...not only did i feel amazing by losing the weight I also learned to maintain it and not gain over the xmas holidays..... Now i do 24hr fasts but I switch the times all the time so my body doesnt get complacent... Love this lifestyle.
I was very successful with Keto in the past, lost 50lbs. Getting back in the groove starting tomorrow 😊

I wish that I would have taken before and after shots, but I was so ashamed of myself, I would never take pictures before. I went from 240 to 174 in less than 1 year. I have KEPT IT OFF for 2 years now. I really enjoy my morning jog, or bike ride, or walk, which I now do with a light backpack. I am slowly working up to ruck sports. I am 55 years old and in better shape than I was in my 40s. Dr. Berg has done all of the hard work for us. This is EASY thanks to Dr. Berg. Just keep his videos in que and go through them whenever you wonder if you are doing the right thing.
2 years ago I lost 110 lbs thanks to the doctor. Last year I had a car accident and gained around 30 lbs. Saturday I was 215 and decided to begin my clean eating habits again. I'm into a 72 hours fast , lost almost 10 lbs. It's amazing how much glycogen is storage into our body. Thanks Doc. Begin the meal plan tomorrow.
Wow, very well done 👏👏and thank you so much for sharing 💞💞
Have you considered sharing your successes pictures on Dr Berg's Facebook group? People need to be inspired 💞💞💞
@@rawwoodgifts8117 I don't have Facebook. But if you me his email or if he responds I will be more than glad. I have pictures of all stages of my program.
That hospital food will kill you. More cancer patients also survive if they DONT eat the hospital food but just fast. Unfortunately they are stubborn and do what the misinformed "doctors" tell them.
I went keto immediately after diagnosis as type 2 diabetic. Down 45 pounds in 3 months, 62 yo inactive night shift female. Arthritis pain, leg edema GONE. I've hated the fake breads and sweeteners, so I do without as much as possible,and I'm going to start some limited allowances off the program. Slow rising home made all grain sourdough once or twice a week. Allulose sweetener with 1/3 real sugar tastes real to me, just decrease entire amount. Watching my glucose pre, 1 hour and two hours later. Holding to keto 90% of the time.
Your videos are really a source of some great information Doctor. Thank you.
You are a great teacher!! Thank you for all of your informative videos! Much appreciated!
That's great! I'm truly glad you were able to learn so much.
I had oral thrush and a deep crack in the middle of my tongue 👅 3 days on keto and it's completely healed. So crazy I went from eating hot cheetos and French fries and sweet tea to coconut water and lettuce wraps. What a difference it made.
I started 2wks ago, lost 20lbs already. After watching his video by accident, thanks Doc.
Amazing! Keep it up!
Oh my goodness that's great
20lbs in 2 weeks. Wow. Could u please explain your plan? What IF have you followed? Any side effects? Thanks
Updates 31lbs in a month, goal achieve, lose weight,.lowered blood pressure, instead of 5 pills only 1 pills to control blood pressure. I'm just maintaining the weight now. And keep Intermittent fasting, no more hunger for sweets and chips. Tnx doc
@@denden01161 how many protein, fat, and carbs % you ate on a day? When you started did you get a keto flu ? And if you did how dealed with it? How many days passed until you started seeing changes in your body?
I'm sorry if I ask too many question, i just want to start the keto diet hehe 🥺☺️
One of the best and most useful videos on Keto I ever watched ❤😊, THANK YOU DR BERG !!!
Glad to hear that! You're very welcome!
Dr Berg. I just wanted to thank you for your videos, they have helped me tremendously!! 1.5 years ago I had blood work done and my doc told me I was prediabetic. I discovered your videos and cleaned myself up. Did healthy keto and intermittent fasting and worked out 4-5 times a week. This morning, my fast blood sugars were 91 then 2 hours after my meal my blood sugars were 90! I am no longer prediabetic, THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO!
That's fantastic! Congratulations! I would love to hear about your success! Please use this link to upload your story:

Good luck ,GOD BLESS, you can do it
Good luck,please update with your journey
Good luck!!... How is it going so far?
Hows your weight loss journey going?
Hi dear, I trust it is going well with your weightloss.
"You don't have to be full after you eat." My biggest bad habit
I eat until im full.
Breafast (cooked) and evening meal.
Then i dont snack later on.
That is my problem as well. I also eat really fast so by the time I get the signal I ate enough I tend to have really over ate.
@@jacobclark1457 same here.
Blue Zones ( where people routinely live into their 100’s) the world over I’ve recently learned keep to an 89% rule. They stop eating when 80% full.
Swap your 12” plates for 8-10” plates is a way to try it they said.
Easy to do look at my chin
Thank you so much Dr, you made me start the year with a big smile.
You're very welcome! Glad to help!
Thank you for always going straight to the point and not asking to subscribe right off the bat.
Im doing 20:4.... Never been healthier in my life !!
How many pounds have you lost so far?
@@Stoneface_ honestly, not that much ( maybe 7 or 8 pounds so far), but i dont really care that much because im getting healthier by the week: ive got so much energy and mental focus... I think its more important than losing weight... I weigh myself twice a week to see if i am still on the right track: BF%, % muscle....
Awesome. Thank you for sharing.
Are you doing healthy keto too?
Easily one of the best communicators out there. Zero fluff. Straight to the point. Love it!
This is very helpful information. I’m currently overweight. I’m 5”6 and I weight 170 pounds. My belly is just to big. I’m going to give this instructions a try . I believe it will work . I’ve been in a keto diet before but this information given is much better, so yeah, definitely trying it.
I watched a lot of videos of Dr Berg and now i do the carnivor keto 22 hours intermitent fasting. In 2 months i plan to switch to healthy keto with vegetables by slowly adding healthy vegetables and fermented cabbage, etc.
I'm not full keto but I reduced my carbs significantly and replaced them with healthy fats (EVO, Avacados/oil, nuts, etc), and I feel soooo good. Haven't felt this great in years. This channel is a MUST see for anyone looking to become healthier.
This video is so helpful and so is your comment! I don’t know if I can go full keto but I am inspired by your comment to make some significant nutritional lifestyle changes and reduce my carb intake.
@fairyffine Thank you, fairyffine! It makes complete sense when you said "food should serve you, not the other way". Watching Dr Berg's channel and reading comments from his community have been super- so informative and supportive. Here's to better health!
@fairyffine hi, can I do this diet without losing a lot of weight? I don't have a weight problem. I just want to be healthier.
@fairyffine Great! Thanks for answering me. I'm going to try it. I've started to make small changes in my diet and I'm feeling better already. 😊
@fairyffine thanks. 💓
Starting today. The pandemic had me sedentary and I gained 20lbs. I was low carb and worked out regularly prior to everything shutting down. 181 now hoping to be better than my former self. Will check back in in 4 weeks. Wish me luck!!!
Yes!! Please I’m starting today! Scared to weigh myself
@@rosalia4770 I am down 5 lbs. Face the fear and do it anyway! You got this ❤️
@@sopurdie3826 Thank you!
Good luck....n p......Rosalia 47.....and......So Purdie! Keep us posted how you guys are doing :D

I thought I already knew a lot about keto, but this video was very informative, thank you.
