My husband has practiced fasting forever without knowing it was a "thing". It just suited him. He had a beautiful physique (surfer) and boundless energy. For years I have been telling him "you must eat breafast" or "going all day without food is not healthy" OMG how wrong did i get it. The slightly overweight wife with a few health issues started following your advice 6 months ago. Slow but sure, down 6 kg, unexplained joint pain has gone along with a few other issues. Thak you Dr Berg.
Im 41 years old, obese, pre-diabetic, horribly high blood pressure, and with chronic excruciating back pain for the last 15 years. Ive actually contemplated suicide at times I was so miserable. I started Keto and 20/4 IF a month ago and for the first time in 15 years I have no back pain and am no longer having blood sugar problems, and my blood pressure is almost normalized. Ive also lost 38lbs. For 15 years I have been to brain and spine doctors , had 4 MRIs, 15 or so Xrays, and was prescribed everything from Blood pressure meds to valium to cyclobenzaprines and even opiates at times. I cant believe I was actually just making it worse the entire time by gulping down loads of sugar and carbs. Something is VERY wrong in our healthcare system and doctors if after 15 years Im on RUclips desperate for relief. But DR BERG SAVED MY LIFE.
It worked! In December I could barely walk and was offered a wheelchair. After 3 months of keto the acute arthritis that reacted to barometric pressure and the weather, the psyorisis, 15 kg excess weight, and the urgent need for knee replacement, all gone. My mobility has been restored along with quality of life. I am 82. Profound thanks! Now to work on fasting!!!!
I did plant based before 2020 and lost 68 pounds and then I couldn't get the items I needed so I gained all of it back. This looks doable. I felt so much better after I ate better. No pain or Inflammation
Tip #1 - Have MCT oil in your coffee every morning to reduce hunger and cravings. Start with one tablespoon. Tip #2 - Blend one whole lemon in water. This provides a boost of vitamin C and phytonutrients. Add stevia or electrolyte powder to enhance the flavor and nutrients. Tip #3 - Have one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water in the afternoon. This helps improve insulin sensitivity and energy. Tip #4 - Have a large salad before each meal to help you achieve 7 to 10 cups of vegetables a day. Tip #5 - Add non-fortified nutritional yeast flakes to your salad and other foods to replenish your B vitamins, reduce stress, and enhance flavor. Tip #6 - Replenish electrolytes and B vitamins to prevent keto flu symptoms. Tip #7 - Have 3 to 6 oz of protein per meal. You can have up to 8 oz if you exercise and have a great metabolism. Tip #8 - Add additional fat to the end of your meal to increase your fasting window and reduce cravings. Tip #9 - Increase the quality of your foods. Always choose organic, grass-fed, pasture-raised, and wild-caught products-they contain more nutrients. Avoid processed foods. Tip #10 - Use herbal tea to help you fast longer. Tip #11 - Don’t snack-especially after dinner and during your fasting window. Never keep snack foods in your home. Tip #12 - Get quality sleep. Poor sleep increases cortisol, hunger, and cravings. Exercise and sun exposure during the day will increase melatonin at night. Vitamin B1 and 10,000 IU of vitamin D will also help improve your sleep. Tip #13 - Replenish your electrolytes after exercise with sea salt, vegetables, and electrolyte powder. Tip #14 - Check all products for hidden ingredients, like unhealthy artificial sweeteners, sugar, maltodextrin, and carbs. Tip #15 - If your appetite is gone, you know it’s working. Tip #16 - Something is better than nothing. Do dirty keto and work your way up to Healthy Keto if you need. Thank you Dr Berg!! 🐱👍🏿
I eat one carnivore meal every 24-25 hours in evening every other day. On the no food day just drink lots of beef bone broth. No snacks. No coffee. Just water. Never hungry. Feel full and satisfied. Lost over 100 lbs in 14 months. Blood all good.
I was diagnosed with diabetes 3 months ago. I followed all the advice in your videos and reversed my diabetes in 3 months. My relationship with food and the way i look at food has completely changed for the better. Thank you.
I went to hospital and the doctor told me that I have high bad cholesterol and my blood pressure was high and I gained more weight yet I am this person who minds what I eat. He prescribed some medication of which I did not take. I was supposed to go back for review after 3 weeks. I was very disturbed and I felt disappointed in myself. I fasted for 15 days, only drinking water and honey for some days. When I went back for review, he couldn't believe that everything was very fine and he asked how I made and I give my story and he was very happy and impressed. I learnt that there is magic in fasting.

7:08 Keto overwhelmed me at first. So I just started, making all the mistakes as I went along and learned more. Nine months of no sugar, low-carb eating, and intermittent fasting -- just doing what I can -- I'm 60 pounds lighter and no longer prediabetic. Looking forward to having no metabolic syndrome by next year.
Excellent refresher. Starting my second year of keto. I lost 45 lbs the first 6 months to 200 lbs. the second 6 months, I maintained but didn’t drop below 200 lbs. There were some life altering changes that added to this, moving across country, retiring, snow and ice during the winter and husband’s illness. So now I am ready to take myself down another 45 lbs. This helped me figure out when to take the lemon juice, ACV, MCT oil and yeast supplements more regularly. I was a bit more haphazard with them before. Here’s to year two.
I lost 40 pounds during first year on keto. I am 78 years old. Now starting second year, with goal of losing another 30-40 pounds. My other issues are insulin resistance, digestion, metabolic syndrome. I feel much better and am glad I found out about keto. I am going to increase low-carb veggies. I do OMAD with no snacking, budget of 30 carbs per day.
I have followed doctors plan to the t before and every time I need to drop weight and it’s like magic. I don’t complicate myself with cooking. I eat my protein portion and veggies or salad; I fast 18-20 hours. The coffee and water with ACV keeps me satisfied. Greatest plan ever.
Decided to go for 48 after my 24 hr was up and I wasn’t hungry. I’ve lost 18 lbs in 14 days on OMAD Keto and 24hr IF. Looking forward to the results of my first 48hr fast. I’m surprised how much energy I have at 30 hrs into it. Thanks Dr Berg!
I wouldn't go past 36 hrs too often. There are some negative effects after 36-37 hrs. I can't remember ehat exactly but i think one of them is that your body will begin to eat your muscle as well for energy, I think.
that's not weightloss that's a loss of water, glucose mostly, and lean mass. sry to tell you. im writing this for others, and not ~you so that , other readers dont go this overboard, if your super fat, maby ok, but this is not how you loose weight in a good way and is not safe.
Just wanted to stop in and thank you Dr Berg.. I have struggled to lose weight for the past 13 years trying every fad diet known to man... I stumbled upon your videos at the beginning of January (new years resolution) and im down 45 pounds and my cronic ulcerative colitis is gone.. I can't express the amount of gratitude I have towards you.. I owe you. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Congratulations! I'm so glad for you. Who knew that changing what we eat could be so life changing, I also stumbled onto his video a few years ago. It was the answer to my prayers. Cheers!
I have been doing healthy Keto and intermittent fasting for 8 weeks now after discovering this channel while looking for help on how to lower my stress levels. I have lost 1 1/2 stone and my belly fat has melted away.. This is the easiest diet to stick to I have ever tried, after years of abusing my body with high sugar snacks and drinks I can honestly say this is the healthiest I have felt since my early 20s( 25 years ago!!) I would encourage anyone who is serious about getting healthier to give this diet a try. The only thing you've got to lose is inches off your waistline!
Cutting carbs is like magical healing, because carbs are a source of infection, i cut out carbs in just 3 days and i felt amazing, i only ate twice a day morning ans evening, didn't even feel hungry, thank you Dr Berg
Making my own “mock chicken broth” with a dry mix I store of nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, chives, rosemary and marjoram. I add a few spoonfuls to water heated in a cup and add Himalayan sea salt. It curbs my appetite if I’m having a craving. I usually develop cravings when I am feeling stressed or not getting good sleep.
Dr. Berg i was on keto and IF since March, i ve lost 11kg and reveresed my grade2 fatty liver... m not on sugar medicines anymore too.l...m still on keto and planning to loose anothr few kilos before my birthday... Thank u fr all the effort u tk fr ppl like me to b inspired and lead a healthier life..God bless u..
8 lbs down in 7 days doing Keto and IF, thank you so much Dr. Berg. I am looking to get back to my college weight of 175lbs coming from 210 lbs. You have given me so much hope.
I have been following IF (OMAD) for 4 n half months now. I have lost 20 kilos. Went down to 50 kg from 70 kg. I was struggling to lose weight for 8 years and you made it happen in 5 months. I can not thank you enough for changing my life. I've completely changed my lifestyle and now i am healthier and happier.
Dr. Berg, I really appreciate your suggestion to eat the entire lemon, and I LOVE the combination of the lemon and your electrolyte powder!!! I filled the blender with whole lemons and water and completely liquefy the lemons and pour it into ice cube trays. The lemon cubes are there whenever I want.
Dr. Berg, you’ve absolutely changed my life completely. Nobody has ever been able to explain things like you do and it’s up to every individual to either take the discipline or not. The only bad thing is that now I have to get a whole new wardrobe because my clothes now look on me like someone else’s. Jokes apart, now I sleep better, I don’t get tired that easily, I feel a lot more energetic and I feel younger. Therefore, I must be doing something right. And it’s all thanks to all your teachings.
Hi Dr. Berg. I started intermittent fasting on April 1st. I was surprised by how easy it was for me to adapt to the 16/8 program. It was so easy, that I was able to jump to 18/6 shortly thereafter. I am reaping all the benefits without feeling hungry or tired. I am able to sleep better, I'm almost never hungry, and I've lost quite a lot of fat from my mid section and everywhere else. I am certain that I have a food addiction and nothing was going to change it until I found your videos. I think I am ready to do one meal a day now and I'm not the least bit concerned about being hungry.
@Sumra Rehman I started my new way of eating with fasting only. I used to be the kind of person that had to eat breakfast, immediately, upon waking up in the morning. It didn't matter if it was 5 am or 10 am; it was the first thing I trained my body to do (or else, i felt like i was going to die lol). After watching Dr. Berg for a few weeks, I decided to skip that first-thing-in-the-morning meal. It was a little hard, the first, and maybe, second day, but it wasn't long before it became easy. I did forget once or twice and, by force of habit, I ate something during the morning, but that was okay; I didn't beat myself up over it. The first weeks, between 12 - 8, I just ate whatever. I didn't restrict myself, although I was more conscious about all the sugars, and opted to keep them away. Everything has sugar in it so that was a tiny bit challenging. Now, I try to fast from past 12 until 5, and it's not hard at all. I keep myself busy in the morning until noon; when i eat, i try to eat lots of cruciferous vegetables, raw and/or cooked, with some protein and fat. I'm not hungry or fatigued and I'm burning fat from all over my body like never before. I have started taking supplements that Dr. Berg recommends and I am stopping the foods that he says to stop, such as rice, potatoes, and all the gmo stuff. I don't feel hunger so much anymore but when I do feel it, it just feels like my stomach is shrinking, my body working, burning fat, so I embrace the hunger feeling. I started at 139 lbs. on April 1st; today, I am 132 lbs., and my clothes have all become looser on me. I notice it mostly when I put my pants on, around my waist, rear and thighs. I am working towards transitioning to a more stricter keto diet and one meal per day. I am under the belief that I have been eating way more food than I ever needed. I am surprised that I am not in far worse health. You say you get headaches? Perhaps you're still consuming sugars and high carbs in your meals? Cut the sugar out. No alcohol. No rice. No fruits. My favorite, quick and easy meal is a bowl of raw or cooked cruciferous vegetables with some hard boiled eggs and a half, or more, of an avocado. It's not the most complicated dish but it's very satisfying to me, anyway. I hope Dr. Berg approves.
I also have been fasting my entire life, just worked for me and never had health issues. My mantra is 'eat food in it's natural, God -made state'. God bless you--health is the best gift!
Put your olive oil in the fridge for 24 hours. If it doesn't solidify it's cut with junk oil. Found out mine is indeed impure despite saying otherwise on the lable. It's actually a major problem in the olive oil industry.
Dr.Berg!!! Thank you so very much❤ I am a 55+ female who was stuck at a weight for what seemed like FOREVER :/ Since I began your 18/6 intermittent fasting 2 mos ago, I have lost 20 lbs. You are awesome!!!👏 🌹
Dr Berg I'm extremely grateful for your channel I started doing intermittent fasting and keto on Saturday of last week when I weighed in on Friday I lost 15 lbs. I started at 407lbs and one week later I weighed 392..lbs
Great video! I developed a habit of brushing and waterpicking my teeth immediately after dinner - this really helps me not want to snack at night. Then I feel ready to wind down for sleep and my mouth is free of food tastes. 😁
I do the same and I think it is an amazing and overlooked “tip” to stop snacking. The only issue I have is that toothpaste tastes so sweet when doing keto 😆
Thanks Dr. Berg! Another awesome video. I've lost 23 pounds so far and I am now close to my weight loss goal. I look and feel so much better! You are the best!
Thank you Dr.Berg. I found your channel 2 months ago about IF Keto. It's changed my life completely. I have tried different ways to lose weight/fat nothing seemed to work. Losing a little bit of weight and gained again. Walking 5 days a week. I baked a lot and that also messed my weight/fat loss program. I was tired of trying and failed again. Then found your channel. IF 16:8 started in March. I have lost 17lbs so far. Low to no carb, no sugars. No snacking like I used to but macadamia and walnuts. Walking/running every other day. Stop baking at this moment (need a Keto baking recipe). I will continue for another 16lbs to get my ideal weight. But IF Keto has become so easy and my lifestyle now. No crave carb or sugar no more. Thanks !
I watched one of your videos back in August and so glad I did. Being insulin resistance for years, I have learned so much. Your videos have helped me lose 12 pounds since August and my 82 year young mom is down 15! Wow! Thank you so much, I look at food so differently!!
My Keto, 3 cups of hot water till 12pm, then boil broccoli, cauliflower and kale (drink the water you boiled veggies in) mixed with 2 poach eggs and half avocado. Then a fist full of almonds. The at 7 pm, veggies with chicken or meat. Works a treat
I suggest you have at least the full avocado, for its potassium which is otherwise difficult to find despite being so essential, healthy fats, b5, E, folate, ect.
@@mollypitcher9380it sounds miserable to me because of the lack of fruit mostly. I don’t have weight to lose but am dealing with some pretty significant adrenal fatigue. I’m going to do the intermittent fasting and go low carb-ish - but mostly avoiding any processed foods with seeds oils and other garbage. I feel like the coffee might have to go at some point or switch to matcha but I’m not ready yet. I have 1-2 cups in the morning with coconut oil and coconut milk
In 6 months I have lost 35 lbs and 4 inches of my waist pants size. I started with a KETO ish diet along with a 16 - 8 fast. I then changed to a strict KETO OMAD diet with a 23 - 1 fast. 6 months in, I have moved more towards a carnivore diet and backed off my fast to 20 - 4. I couldn't stop the weight loss!!! Now I force myself to add a 2nd meal Or have a couple fat bombs to add some fat calories. I am off 5 prescribed medications and have never felt better.
I do low carbs (almost no carbs) and OMAD. It works perfectly for me! Reason why I don’t eat KETO is simple, I do love blueberries specially before my bicycle riding (about 5 times per week 10- 15 Mi) after my only meal about 4 PM when my spouse come from work. I’m retired. I put some maskarpone without sugar on top of it and I really enjoyed it!
@@loiscashner6567 I live in Florida and most of time I take those fresh from farms…or sometime from Food Market as organic if is not season for them…I’m 70 and try to live healthy life as possible…
@@DrbergDr. Berg, I’m fighting an autoimmune condition and just started IF and keto. It’s been a week and I already feel a huge difference, mainly in my energy. However, I do not want to lose any weight and I’m having such a hard time getting in enough calories! And fat. Im 34, fit, workout 3-4x a week, still nursing my 1.5 year old.. how do I do it?! You recommend eating once a day for autoimmune but I just don’t see how that’s possible for me. I get so full off my first meal my second is forced in my 4/5 hour window. Thank you!
I've been following this plan for almost 4 years now with great success. I don't follow every little detail but I do the following: start my day with 6 ounces of a ginger water-ACV-lemon juice mixture with mineral water and various added nutrients (B12, K, turmeric powder, cinnamon oil, Vitamin C powder, ginseng, licorice powder, elderberry syrup, cayenne, and hemp oil). On days when I plan to go for a long walk or bike ride I drink a can of Hydro Shot molecular hydrogen water. I then have a cup of coffee with a tablespoon of MCT oil, butter, and heavy cream added along with a healthy dash of sea salt, and a drop of Lugol's iodine. I brew my coffee from freshly ground organic beans, adding cocoa, Lion's Mane, and Reishi mushroom powders to a French press. I have my brunch at noonish, usually consisting of 2 or 3 pasture-raised duck or chicken eggs, and bacon. I also drink about 6 ounces of a smoothie made with kefir and berries and various powders, including Moringa, Camu Camu, beet root, cinnamon, golden milk, collagen peptides, celery, and Keto BHB. Lately I've been adding a couple of tablespoons of golden flax meal to the smoothie. I drink tea in the afternoon, including green tea and hibiscus tea, with lemon juice. I sometimes have a piece of cheese or some nuts, or smoked sausage in small portions. Often I go without eating at all in the afternoon. My evening meal is usually a portion of pasture-raised beef, chicken, or pork, or wild-caught seafood, with a salad and/or cooked vegetable such as cabbage or asparagus. I have some chia pudding, nuts or low-sugar chocolate to follow. I drink low-sugar kombucha prior to the meal. I just had a physical and my results: 120/80 BP, 5.5 H1C, everything else in the normal range except slightly elevated blood glucose, high total cholesterol (261 mg/dL) and LDL. I'm not too concerned because my weight, HDL and triglycerides are normal and I'm not convinced that "high" LDL or total cholesterol means anything, especially on keto. I am 70 years old, healthy, and exercise regularly outdoors, and I take ZERO prescription medications (but quite a few supplements). The main supplements I recommend for most people are Mg, D3+K2, NAC, ACV, omega-3, L-theanine, quercetin, C, and zinc. I also take ashwaghanda, which works well for me to improve my mood and decrease stress, along with SAMe. I thank Dr. Berg for putting me on the right track. I always find useful information here, and it is my belief that many more people would benefit from his advice if they would only try and follow it. It does take discipline and perserverence but the rewards are great and worthwhile.
Your keto has saved me. I can’t afford to do perfect clean keto but I do the best I can,and I only have one meal a day - that’s dinner. I’m peri menopausal and I’ve been taking DIM , D3, ACV, sea kelp among other supplements recommended by you. Please can you do more videos for hormonal imbalance and peri menopause? I am and will always remain grateful to you for giving me back some quality of life, and for giving more knowledge and results than all doctors I have seen in person put together. Thank thank you thank you 🙏🇳🇿❤️
If you have have checked all his videos on peri-menopause, hormonal health and issues already, then you may want to study his videos on vitamin d absorption. My favorite to date is one he made a few days ago.
I don't know if you will ever read this but if you do thank you so much for your stinging nettle vids. I'm a 68 female who has spent the last 30 years in pain with RA/secondary sjogrens syndrome - could no longer work, fly on a plane or do anything. I listened to your video and got myself some nettle capsules (the roots) and tincture (the leaves) and also rub my hands every few days with a couple of leaves and for the first time in 30 years I am actually free from pain no pain in hands, feet (so bad that could not get off the kerb) shoulders (could hardly get dressed) back of neck. My ESR is totally normally for the first time since first test those 30 years ago and I'm nearly off the opiod painkillers that I've been taking for the past 30 years. Needless to say the NHS doctors are saying that perhaps I did not have RA in the first place - although my hands say differently - tried to tell them about this but they are not interested. Anyway thank you hopefully the few years that I have left will be pain free. Whenever I meet anyone with arthritis in general I will always pass them on to your channel. Love Liz and her seven cats. Oops forgot to mention now growing my own nettles and picking wild ones and learning how to make a good tincture.
Your videos have a very calming effect. I have struggled with depression and anxiety for a long time but knowing theres a solution to my problem makes all the difference. Thanks!
Dr. Berg, I already do much of what you've suggested (bulletproof coffee, ACV before meals, exercise, add sea salt/electrolytes, etc), but I am mostly Ketocarnivore, meaning few vegetables. I just can't do all those veggies, as I don't like most, however I do like to add the few that I do like to my egg & meat dishes, like green beans, mushrooms, baby carrots. I am having success and feel better, having gone from 374 lbs down to 298 lbs so far. So, I appreciate your advice and found a few new tips in this video that I can incorporate into my routine. So, I thank you very much!
Thank you for taking time to post all this great information. I've been diagnose with type 2 diabetes. My dr gave me no help, or direction. I have felt so helpless for over the past year or two. I don't really need to lose weight, just get my insulin to kick in. There are some days I am really dragging at work. I plan on incorporating more of your suggestions. Thank you again!!
I'm starting all over from scratch ...So i really appreciate this information..I benefit each time you replay your videos.. because I just don't retain the information...and I goofed up so much on keto before that I had the opposite effect...I gained weight..I think I know now that the Atkins protein drinks I was relying on packed on a few pounds..and the honey that I mix with peanut butter didn't suffice for a salad to knock my appetite..but because of my hip I can't exercise..I'm barely able to walk...and I have to eat with the pain meds so i won't get naseous...more weight.. But let me try this again. So keep playing this video especially...I'm very grateful.. God Bless You..my friend.
On my KETO journey, I've reached the point of no longer ordering any toppings for my burgers other than maybe a strip or two of bacon (ketchup and mustard being derived from plants...and if I tried to eat lettuce or sliced tomato, I'd probably have to have my stomach pumped). At any rate, I'm finding that my brain is becoming sharper and my communications skills much keener. Thank you Dr. Eric Berg for allowing me to share!!!!
@@dutchess314 Actually I was just joking. Probably nothing. However, lettuce and tomatoes reportedly have lectins, oxalates, phytates, enzyme inhibitors, and antinutrients, none of which sound too healthy. 😁
This is the ultimate Dr Berg video for the ones who are ready for this powerful message of getting the whole package. Thank you, Dr Berg. Overeating can occur when I crack open a bag of my favourite snack food and mindlessly chomp away. Binge snacking is a problem.
His videos on cravings can help beat that. I had to increase electrolytes and sometimes nutritional yeast, additionally to doing healthy keto and intermittent fasting.
Our body is always regenerating, and when it gets the nutrients it needs and no garbage to block them it will regenerate as God made us; in a state of health. The importance of doing the Healthy version, I learned, is because it takes the body as long as it needs to reverse years of neglect and illness. The amazing energy & feeling of wellbeing is priceless.
Thanks to Dr. Berg for the great tips. I've been practicing keto diet for a while now. Been practicing keto diet for 15 days. It felt very challenging to eat food that I had never done before in one meal a day.
I keep pork skins, pickles, pumpkin seeds and dried meats as last resort snacks handy because I seldom give in and they have a long shelf life. Thanks for your advice!
thank you for this video! It really helped me a lot. Been doing keto for 2 weeks and down 8 lbs. with 18 more to go . Hoping to get off Trulicity and Metformin and my BP medications and no longer a diabetic after 36 years! Its amazing how doing Keto really takes your appetite ! sometimes I just don't have any interest in eating . thank you Dr. Berg!
Great review, Dr B .. I did great throughout Lent this Spring. Rolling along towards Pentecost Sunday, another 50 days after Easter Sunday. Love your work.
Thanks Dr Berg 😊 I think the biggest challenge on keto is to stop completely eating fruit in the summer time, yet I think we can compensate for that by adding berries to keto shakes.
@Jean Carroll In my opinion blueberries are too sweet otherwise than in small amounts. Gentle mashing does not break the seeds, which are however very small in blueberries. What do you then think about eating any plants?
Fruit is fine in small amounts. If you are insulin resistant it may be lower or none cause it spikes you so bad but fruit is fine in small amounts on keto.
💡 *Pro Tip: If you struggle with the psychological aspects of eating, out of habit or emotions, all the science in the world doesn't address the Mind over Matter dance you go through. Dig deep folks, and dont give up. Get ready to change eating habits! Get ready to see and smell yummy things and still say No. It'll get easier if you really stick to it.....If you can follow strictly and properly for 3 full days, you wont be hungry, and you will struggle even less around the temptations. And everytime you fail to string those 3days together, start over and remind yourself that You can do it like so many others have. Then continue for 30days! After that, Do Not go back to old habits, start applying all the science hes teaching for a Lifetime! Happy Health!*
Dr. Berg your videos are addictive Lol. Why? Because I am losing weight everyday and I just can't get enough of keto info so I dont get in trouble and some people say I told you so lol. So far I lost 35 lbs in 2 months. I am pumped and excited to hit my old good days 110lbs. God help me. Just ordered nutritional yeast flakes and mct oil, because my slow diggestion sucks greatly. Good luck everyone! Thank you Dr. Berg! Finally someone helping the world to lose weight without emptying your pockets without no results anyway. Blessings all 🙏💪🏻🌿♥ARUGULA♥
My energy level has greatly improved. My trainer was amazed at how strong I have become. I completed exercises that included heavy weights and did it without struggling, before this new way of eating I was always struggling to keep up. Thanks Dr. Berg
I've been watching your amazing videos for the past few months. I just started Keto three weeks ago, at 16 hour and now i'm up to 18 hr. fast. First week was a struggle because i love carbs and sugars, i did cheat a couple of times but now i feel it's starting to kick in, more energy, focus and overall feeling better, inflammation is going down big time already, it's unreal. I've been drinking water with lemon and acv daily. I'm assuming that is ok to eat lemon peel, i like it too but i wasn't sure if it would bump me out of keto. Thank you for all of your hard work in making these highly valuable health and nutrition videos. Keep up the amazing work Doc! Marco P.
To become healthier in life, after watching a few of your videos, I made the plunge. I first started by losing the energy drinks and soda, and switching to water and green tea with a tablespoon on honey. The transition took a few days, and was painful at times, but the headaches went away and at the end of the three days, I was onto water and un sweet green tea. Just doing that alone was honestly saving me 1700 calories a day. Due to my dyspepsia, it made it difficult to eat in regular intervals, and when I didn't, I found myself being in a constant state of nausea. So I began fasting. I started out with 16:8 window of eating. Within a few days, I was down to 18:6 window. With another little push, I've lowered my window to 20:4. Since quitting sugary, carbonated drinks and getting to the 20:4 fasting window, I've noticed that my dyspepsia is almost completely gone, along with the nausea. I'm also losing a few pounds every day or two. I'm no longer tossing and turning at night. My hunger pain has returned to normal and extremely tolerable, instead of being so strong it made me want to vomit. I'm only consuming about 600 calories at 1pm, and another final meal of about the same with a larger portion of salad at 4:30pm as to be done eating by 5pm. I haven't felt so mentally balanced, energetic, or tireless in years. And not having to deal with the symptoms of my dyspepsia with my diet change has really made life so much more tolerable. And I haven't even gone keto yet... Thanks Doc.
Wondering what dyspepsia was and looked it up. I was getting terrible heartburn for the past months since I've been eating bad. I'm trying to eliminate sugar, breads, and all the junk food I used to eat in the past year. I'm on Day 12 now and actually sleeping all night now when before with my partner getting up all night I was never getting any sleep.
Thank you, Dr. Berg. Today's video is so packed full of great info to get me serious again about going back on keto that it's given me that motivation to restart! Tons of motivating info in one place makes for a video I'll return to again and again. Much appreciated!
G/Day Doctor Berg.I have Apple Cider,lemon In water with a pinch of salt.Thank you for keeping me motivated.I find fasting hard but I will give it a go.
Watch Dr. Pradip Jamnadas and Dr. Jason Fung as well. Start slowly. Learn about becoming fat adapted before you start to fast so you avoid cravings. Use an app like BodyFast... the fat burner program... which changes the hours of fasting daily which makes it more interesting. Be patient. Every day you succeed a little is still a day you've given your body some grace.
I'm not doing keto, but i did IF for the last 4 weeks (16/8 - 18/6) and did an 84hour waterfast that I broke today at 3pm (CET) with 1 tablespoon of peanutbutter and a small piece of my selfmade thinbread (almost zero carbs, only fats, protein and fibre) had another tablespoont of peanutbutter with a little of the thinbread 90 minutes later, and am now eating 150g of Chickenbreast With Yoghurt/Garlic sauce I don't know if thats a good way to break the fast, but I am now down from 152kg to 138kg from 5 weeks ago Thanks for you Tips & Videos Dr. Berg! I'll use them to improve my eating habits even more
Congratulations on your success with Keto! This is amazing! Dr. Berg would love to hear your success story. Would you be willing to share it? Please use this link: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story -Dr. Berg's Support Team
Hi Dr Berg thanks so much for all your information on keto. I used to always feel sick and unhealthy and I feel and look great now that keto is part of my lifestyle. One powerful observation for me is that my tongue is always clean and clear now! I used to always wake up with a heavily coated tongue, but no more on keto! The inside-out healing powers of keto are incredible. Cheers, Anthea
I just remembered, when I began Keto/IF I had been eating the cheaper version of coco-krispies, that's all I had the energy for, and I craved them. So I began as Dr. Berg explained but allowed myself one bowl of the coco-krispies in the evening. I couldn't stomach the cereal anymore after 2 1/2 weeks. Getting all the nutrients got rid of my craving.
If you are checking the comments, I want to say thanks. I recently got covid, and it was like having the flu. No lung issues. A little fatigue. The doctor was impressed with how clear my lungs were 4 days from infection. I followed your videos about protecting yourself from Covid 19. FYI, I did get the Moderna vaccine last year. No booster.

His website provides meal plans. He also provides different magnesium formula for a better sleep. I’ve experimented with his D3&K2 and his electrolytes that contains magnesium. Definitely getting better sleep with those, additionally to doing healthy keto and intermittent fasting.
Absolute legend for pushing people to keep their bodies in fat-burning mode and stay healthy. People don’t understand fasting and are ignorant in terms of how our bodies really work. Intermittent fasting should also be 48, 72 hours or even more not only 24 hours. The thing is we survive just fine with our complete 102 vitamins & minerals when we fast. You’re not gonna die haha. If anything you will become “a live”
What berg and no one else mentions tho is the hunger migraines that ruin your whole day sometimes they carry over to the next day! Completely debilitating
I thank you dr. Berg. I nterrmenting fasting reversing my diabeties and my thyroid. 6 weeks ago i weight 218. Now i weight 187. I did baby steps. Staring today i will start to go OMAD fasting. I don't crave sweets and i am more energetic. I don't take meds anymore👌
Dr Berg, u r like God to us🙏--- always guiding us in Right direction on Health---Health is Wealth. Can u plz tell me which Electrolytes to buy ? I am 52 (female) with Xtra 50 lbs😢
5/ 20/22. I am down 32 lbs, I’m thrilled and can see a big difference and feel so much lighter. Imagine carrying 3 /. 10 lb bags of sugar . So stoked to keep on. I have been doing IF. And omad, it’s taken me longer than others but I’m 77 Like the freedom also that I don’t need to cook more than once a day. Or at all. I have been out more which has helped me lose and I have been getting more Sun. Thank you Dr Berg for all the help and instruction. ❤️. I have to stay real close to 20 grams of carbs can I raise that amount once I get nearer my normal weight.? It feels so much better to move easier. Still have 47 to go. Im going to make it. Thank you Thank you.
I eat the whole lemon after washing it! Orange peel is good too but lemon peel, in my opinion is the best. Also, carbonated water with apple cider vinegar is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!
Thank you for all your knowledge in your videos. I lost 20 lbs so far and I owe it all to you. I feel great and have a lot more energy than I had in 5 years.
I've been following the Keto diet and doing Intermittent Fasting since the second week of November 2022 to current. I started this because my liver enzymes (AST/ALT) were way too high! My weight was 288 lbs. I had Hypoglycemia for years. High Blood pressure and digestive issues and 48 years old. Now that the bad news is out of the way..... Here is the good news; as of today my Blood Pressure is with in normal range (no longer taken BP meds)! I weigh 243 lbs. been off sugar since November of last year. I've taken Dr. Berg's supplements and suggestions to do healthy Keto and I'm loving it and will continue. Loosing close to 50 lbs. is amazing in 3 months! Thank you Dr. Berg
Awesome, I've learned so much from you and your channel. Indeed, my hunger goes away when I am on track. I always knew nutrition was important - but I never realized just how important it is.
hi Doc... thanks for the Refresher, just finished a month of Ramadan and implemented some of information you have provide on your videos... was hard, but once i controlled my mind and desires i am seeing results... as is said 'Rome was not built in a day'.. thank you again for ALL the info...
Super awesome video! You are so informative. I lost 20 plus pounds because I FIRST wanted to be healthy, and realized I was basically doing the keto diet. I decided that I was going to do the HEALTHY keto version and you are the man! Thank you so much. I've been ordering several of your products and love them. I've slacked off a little, so have been at a plateau, but your videos encourage me to get back on the clean track. Thank you SO MUCH. You are the bomb!!!
I started a keto diet when I was 49/50 years old. Prior, I was quite keen on alcohol. It got me through a day. As a result, over time, I realised I had less muscle, fatty liver, high blood pressure, diabetes and varying liver enzymes. Plus I had ascites. What to do? I was on the wrong side of 40 and my lifestyle had caught up, on me. I started by weening myself off alcohol and drinking more water. Walking regularly. The cabbage soup diet, was my early point of call. Try and ‘reset’ myself. After 10 days on that, I started a low carb, keto diet. This was not easy. I am intolerant to farmed meat, fish and foodstuff like cheese. Tinned tuna, mackerel etc., filled my protein gap. I got to a point of walking 4 miles, every evening. I kept to the 4 miles. However, as time progressed, I tried to do the 4 miles in a shorter time. In just 12 weeks, I had turned this body around... including putting on muscle. Okay, life has taken a path, since. Now, 58, I find myself needing to do something to get out of bad health. During being homeless (for other reasons), my health went down. Lack of good nutrition and exercise. Poor motivation etc. Now, I have poor muscle mass (again). Completely unfit. Little income. Can I do this 10 years on? Well, I hope so... otherwise, I am done with.
Yes you can do it again. I started a few months ago at 68, already seeing improvements in waist size, blood glucose levels. Start with something easy, maybe cut out sugar and go for a good walk each day. Then you can add new strategies. It’s up to us!
I have no problem getting the salad down last. As a matter of fact I always eat fiber after protein, as I believe it pushes out the waste more efficiently.
I wish I was having more success with my keto diet. Maybe I am internally, but I'm not yet feeling it. While I wouldn't mind losing a few pounds, I'm trying keto because I have so little energy, hot flashes that wake me up several times a night and I tend to forget...a lot! I gradually transitioned to keto over six weeks starting in January, and I've been strictly on keto for 3 months now. I been very faithful to the diet and haven't cheated a single time. I'd say I'm consuming between 20 to 25 grams of carbs per day, probably less. I only eat about 3 cups of veggies a day, but I'm gradually increasing that and will reach 7 cups probably in another three to four months. I eat plenty of high quality fats, nutrient dense foods such as pastured eggs, meat and dairy. I take a wide array of high-quality supplements. My one weakness is that about 4-5 times a week, I'll have a Love Good Fats bar late at night when I'm working. I've tried intermittent fasting, but it's really hard to do. I wake up in the morning with hunger pains so intense that I feel severely nauseous. This happens every day, sometimes more than once. I'll have a few macadamias or a little cheddar and that helps to relieve it. But it makes it really hard to wait until noon to eat. Does anyone else have this nausea issue? My nightly hot flashes have nearly doubled since I started keto, so I'm much more tired than when I began. Despite taking electrolytes and MCT oil, I haven't had any improvement in my memory. And I've had very painful acid reflux the past couple of weeks. I haven't dropped any weight. It makes me feel very sad that I'm not improving. But I have vowed to do this until the end of August and see if things change for the better. In fact, I'll probably go a full year, and really do the best I can. I feel like this is the right road for me, but it's so discouraging to not feel like I'm getting healthier. Like I said, hopefully I'm getting healthier internally, and sooner or later, I'll start to feel more vitality!
Please don’t fast if really hungry. Check Dr Berg’s videos on your symptoms and solve them one by one. Also the electrolytes that you are having, are you sure there’s no maltodextrin in it?
@@experimenthealthyketo83 - Hi, thanks so much for your reply. I will take your advice and definitely not fast when I'm really hungry. Something wonderful happened yesterday: I wasn't hungry all morning and had no nausea at all. I didn't feel like eating until 3pm and I had lots of energy! It was wonderful! Today I was able to go until 1:00pm before the hunger and nausea kicked it, then I ate right away. So hopefully those are good signs of improvement! As for my electrolytes, I'm using pure cream of tarter and sea salt in water. I'm taking magnesium in the evening, but I'll double-check and see if there's any maltodextrin - I know it's pretty bad from what I've learned from Dr. Berg. Thanks again!
Dr. Berg Everything you say is so right on!!! You have helped me very much by watching your videos. I have lost 40 lbs since Aug 2022 and still in mild ketosis. I am leading up to intermittent fasting. I did Atkins 20 years ago and lost 110 lbs and kept it off for 2 years. My energy is great now, everyday is a good day and appetite reduced greatly, aches and pains went away and skin feeling better. Just do low carb! Thank you!!!

3 years after I started following Dr. Berg, I have kept my weight under control. I went from 240 to 174 in less than 1 year. I am 5'8" and 55 years old. I am in better shape today than I was in my 40s. No blood pressure medication, no diabetes medication, no meds. I still watch his videos to keep my understanding fresh and to pick up things that I may have missed before. Dr. Berg makes it easy in his step by step way of explaining things.
Amazing!!! Well done ti you. Do you suffer from the lose skin? I am 45 female my weight is over 100. I already have plenty of stretch mark and cellulite. I am scared of having saggy breast and lots of lose skin.
@@jahaansaid748 The loose skin can go away. It takes time. There is a point where it may not. Some people use plastic surgery for things like that. It was not needed in my case. In less than a year my skin tightened up. I did quite a bit of prolonged fasting, which helps speed up the recovery process I believe. There is nothing to fear. Life is a challenge, just deal with the challenge of the day.
My mom nagged til I ate something 7th-- 12th grade. Later married and not always eating but weight was good. Years later on my own raising my son,, I fed him well but not enough food for me. It was keto back then and I didn't know that except I did eat sugary when I did eat. Now years later I'm doing keto and have learned a lot about healthy eating and NO sugar. Thank you Dr Berg for the videos.
Terrific post! I'm a year into this lifestyle change, but having this as a general support is always helpful. I'm also going to add this as a source when I'm trying to introduce these concepts to my friends and family. You're fabulous Dr Berg!
My husband has practiced fasting forever without knowing it was a "thing". It just suited him. He had a beautiful physique (surfer) and boundless energy. For years I have been telling him "you must eat breafast" or "going all day without food is not healthy" OMG how wrong did i get it. The slightly overweight wife with a few health issues started following your advice 6 months ago. Slow but sure, down 6 kg, unexplained joint pain has gone along with a few other issues. Thak you Dr Berg.
That’s awesome 👏 thanks for sharing.
I am the same as your Hubble It has kept my weight in a great range energy etc….
That’s great. I like to fast most mornings, but I don’t do keto. But I have lost about 5 kilos so far (1.5 months).
Overweight woman tells lean men that his diet is wrong. Oh irony... lmao
@@ptmirage8473 Similar irony as these obese women still doing slimming world ..... for 40 years solid 🙄
Im 41 years old, obese, pre-diabetic, horribly high blood pressure, and with chronic excruciating back pain for the last 15 years. Ive actually contemplated suicide at times I was so miserable. I started Keto and 20/4 IF a month ago and for the first time in 15 years I have no back pain and am no longer having blood sugar problems, and my blood pressure is almost normalized. Ive also lost 38lbs. For 15 years I have been to brain and spine doctors , had 4 MRIs, 15 or so Xrays, and was prescribed everything from Blood pressure meds to valium to cyclobenzaprines and even opiates at times. I cant believe I was actually just making it worse the entire time by gulping down loads of sugar and carbs. Something is VERY wrong in our healthcare system and doctors if after 15 years Im on RUclips desperate for relief. But DR BERG SAVED MY LIFE.
If you want to kick that into third gear go carnivore my friend !!
Wow! 😂
Thanks for sharing your story
It worked! In December I could barely walk and was offered a wheelchair. After 3 months of keto the acute arthritis that reacted to barometric pressure and the weather, the psyorisis, 15 kg excess weight, and the urgent need for knee replacement, all gone. My mobility has been restored along with quality of life. I am 82. Profound thanks! Now to work on fasting!!!!
Way to go congratulations
Woohoo!👌
God Bless
My God
I did plant based before 2020 and lost 68 pounds and then I couldn't get the items I needed so I gained all of it back. This looks doable. I felt so much better after I ate better. No pain or Inflammation
Tip #1 - Have MCT oil in your coffee every morning to reduce hunger and cravings. Start with one tablespoon.
Tip #2 - Blend one whole lemon in water. This provides a boost of vitamin C and phytonutrients. Add stevia or electrolyte powder to enhance the flavor and nutrients.
Tip #3 - Have one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water in the afternoon. This helps improve insulin sensitivity and energy.
Tip #4 - Have a large salad before each meal to help you achieve 7 to 10 cups of vegetables a day.
Tip #5 - Add non-fortified nutritional yeast flakes to your salad and other foods to replenish your B vitamins, reduce stress, and enhance flavor.
Tip #6 - Replenish electrolytes and B vitamins to prevent keto flu symptoms.
Tip #7 - Have 3 to 6 oz of protein per meal. You can have up to 8 oz if you exercise and have a great metabolism.
Tip #8 - Add additional fat to the end of your meal to increase your fasting window and reduce cravings.
Tip #9 - Increase the quality of your foods. Always choose organic, grass-fed, pasture-raised, and wild-caught products-they contain more nutrients. Avoid processed foods.
Tip #10 - Use herbal tea to help you fast longer.
Tip #11 - Don’t snack-especially after dinner and during your fasting window. Never keep snack foods in your home.
Tip #12 - Get quality sleep. Poor sleep increases cortisol, hunger, and cravings. Exercise and sun exposure during the day will increase melatonin at night. Vitamin B1 and 10,000 IU of vitamin D will also help improve your sleep.
Tip #13 - Replenish your electrolytes after exercise with sea salt, vegetables, and electrolyte powder.
Tip #14 - Check all products for hidden ingredients, like unhealthy artificial sweeteners, sugar, maltodextrin, and carbs.
Tip #15 - If your appetite is gone, you know it’s working.
Tip #16 - Something is better than nothing. Do dirty keto and work your way up to Healthy Keto if you need.
Thank you Dr Berg!! 🐱👍🏿
👍
Thank you.
Thankyou
Thank you!
No. 15 is my favourite.....I love waking up not hungry as it energizes my day.
I eat one carnivore meal every 24-25 hours in evening every other day. On the no food day just drink lots of beef bone broth. No snacks. No coffee. Just water. Never hungry. Feel full and satisfied. Lost over 100 lbs in 14 months. Blood all good.
❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😂
I was diagnosed with diabetes 3 months ago. I followed all the advice in your videos and reversed my diabetes in 3 months. My relationship with food and the way i look at food has completely changed for the better. Thank you.
As someone who has insulin resistance this gives me so much hope that I can finally fix my body and go off meds. Amazing job!
I went to hospital and the doctor told me that I have high bad cholesterol and my blood pressure was high and I gained more weight yet I am this person who minds what I eat.
He prescribed some medication of which I did not take. I was supposed to go back for review after 3 weeks. I was very disturbed and I felt disappointed in myself. I fasted for 15 days, only drinking water and honey for some days. When I went back for review, he couldn't believe that everything was very fine and he asked how I made and I give my story and he was very happy and impressed. I learnt that there is magic in fasting.
That is such a great testimony! 😂praise the lord

7:08 Keto overwhelmed me at first. So I just started, making all the mistakes as I went along and learned more. Nine months of no sugar, low-carb eating, and intermittent fasting -- just doing what I can -- I'm 60 pounds lighter and no longer prediabetic. Looking forward to having no metabolic syndrome by next year.
That’s really inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing.
Dr Robert Lustig also mentions people reversing diabetis. Well done. You are a star.
Wow.That gives me hope .Now I need determination. Getting started is my hurdle
Yay you !!! Keep it up !
Best of luck🍀
Excellent refresher. Starting my second year of keto. I lost 45 lbs the first 6 months to 200 lbs. the second 6 months, I maintained but didn’t drop below 200 lbs. There were some life altering changes that added to this, moving across country, retiring, snow and ice during the winter and husband’s illness. So now I am ready to take myself down another 45 lbs. This helped me figure out when to take the lemon juice, ACV, MCT oil and yeast supplements more regularly. I was a bit more haphazard with them before. Here’s to year two.
Try carnivore plants are trying to kill you
me too! 😀😀
Did you intermittent fast? What did you eat for your first meal?
If you eat only between noon and 6pm you will lose all your extra weight.
I lost 40 pounds during first year on keto. I am 78 years old. Now starting second year, with goal of losing another 30-40 pounds. My other issues are insulin resistance, digestion, metabolic syndrome. I feel much better and am glad I found out about keto. I am going to increase low-carb veggies. I do OMAD with no snacking, budget of 30 carbs per day.
I have followed doctors plan to the t before and every time I need to drop weight and it’s like magic. I don’t complicate myself with cooking. I eat my protein portion and veggies or salad; I fast 18-20 hours. The coffee and water with ACV keeps me satisfied. Greatest plan ever.
ACV being apple cider vinegar for those who scratch their heads at acronyms 😁

Please let me know how much time it took in total to lose 18 lbs weight
@@brzahffoods took him 2 weeks
I wouldn't go past 36 hrs too often. There are some negative effects after 36-37 hrs. I can't remember ehat exactly but i think one of them is that your body will begin to eat your muscle as well for energy, I think.
Not true
that's not weightloss that's a loss of water, glucose mostly, and lean mass. sry to tell you.
im writing this for others, and not ~you so that , other readers dont go this overboard, if your super fat, maby ok, but this is not how you loose weight in a good way and is not safe.
I have found that since I am eating less and no longer purchasing junk that I can afford higher quality food. “Quantity Down=Quality Up”.
Wow that’s a good point
This!!! I learned the same thing now I can eat better more satisfying, wholesome food that I enjoy more
Just wanted to stop in and thank you Dr Berg.. I have struggled to lose weight for the past 13 years trying every fad diet known to man... I stumbled upon your videos at the beginning of January (new years resolution) and im down 45 pounds and my cronic ulcerative colitis is gone.. I can't express the amount of gratitude I have towards you.. I owe you. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Congratulations! I'm so glad for you. Who knew that changing what we eat could be so life changing, I also stumbled onto his video a few years ago. It was the answer to my prayers. Cheers!
So inspiring to read that. Thank you so much for sharing.
I have been doing healthy Keto and intermittent fasting for 8 weeks now after discovering this channel while looking for help on how to lower my stress levels. I have lost 1 1/2 stone and my belly fat has melted away.. This is the easiest diet to stick to I have ever tried, after years of abusing my body with high sugar snacks and drinks I can honestly say this is the healthiest I have felt since my early 20s( 25 years ago!!) I would encourage anyone who is serious about getting healthier to give this diet a try. The only thing you've got to lose is inches off your waistline!
Awesome 👏 thank you for sharing.
Cutting carbs is like magical healing, because carbs are a source of infection, i cut out carbs in just 3 days and i felt amazing, i only ate twice a day morning ans evening, didn't even feel hungry, thank you Dr Berg
Making my own “mock chicken broth”
with a dry mix I store of nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, chives, rosemary and marjoram. I add a few spoonfuls to water heated in a cup and add Himalayan sea salt. It curbs my appetite if I’m having a craving. I usually develop cravings when I am feeling stressed or not getting good sleep.
Love that...will have to copy. Thanks for sharing.
Yep 👍
I also get cravings when tired and stressed.
Love this idea…thanks for sharing!😊

Dr. Berg, I really appreciate your suggestion to eat the entire lemon, and I LOVE the combination of the lemon and your electrolyte powder!!! I filled the blender with whole lemons and water and completely liquefy the lemons and pour it into ice cube trays. The lemon cubes are there whenever I want.
I do the same 🙂 because it can be time consuming every day.

Dr. Berg, you’ve absolutely changed my life completely. Nobody has ever been able to explain things like you do and it’s up to every individual to either take the discipline or not. The only bad thing is that now I have to get a whole new wardrobe because my clothes now look on me like someone else’s. Jokes apart, now I sleep better, I don’t get tired that easily, I feel a lot more energetic and I feel younger. Therefore, I must be doing something right. And it’s all thanks to all your teachings.
Hi Dr. Berg. I started intermittent fasting on April 1st. I was surprised by how easy it was for me to adapt to the 16/8 program. It was so easy, that I was able to jump to 18/6 shortly thereafter. I am reaping all the benefits without feeling hungry or tired. I am able to sleep better, I'm almost never hungry, and I've lost quite a lot of fat from my mid section and everywhere else. I am certain that I have a food addiction and nothing was going to change it until I found your videos. I think I am ready to do one meal a day now and I'm not the least bit concerned about being hungry.
But i feel headic.
🙌🙌
Can you share your diet chart please
@Sumra Rehman I started my new way of eating with fasting only. I used to be the kind of person that had to eat breakfast, immediately, upon waking up in the morning. It didn't matter if it was 5 am or 10 am; it was the first thing I trained my body to do (or else, i felt like i was going to die lol). After watching Dr. Berg for a few weeks, I decided to skip that first-thing-in-the-morning meal. It was a little hard, the first, and maybe, second day, but it wasn't long before it became easy. I did forget once or twice and, by force of habit, I ate something during the morning, but that was okay; I didn't beat myself up over it. The first weeks, between 12 - 8, I just ate whatever. I didn't restrict myself, although I was more conscious about all the sugars, and opted to keep them away. Everything has sugar in it so that was a tiny bit challenging. Now, I try to fast from past 12 until 5, and it's not hard at all. I keep myself busy in the morning until noon; when i eat, i try to eat lots of cruciferous vegetables, raw and/or cooked, with some protein and fat. I'm not hungry or fatigued and I'm burning fat from all over my body like never before. I have started taking supplements that Dr. Berg recommends and I am stopping the foods that he says to stop, such as rice, potatoes, and all the gmo stuff. I don't feel hunger so much anymore but when I do feel it, it just feels like my stomach is shrinking, my body working, burning fat, so I embrace the hunger feeling. I started at 139 lbs. on April 1st; today, I am 132 lbs., and my clothes have all become looser on me. I notice it mostly when I put my pants on, around my waist, rear and thighs. I am working towards transitioning to a more stricter keto diet and one meal per day. I am under the belief that I have been eating way more food than I ever needed. I am surprised that I am not in far worse health. You say you get headaches? Perhaps you're still consuming sugars and high carbs in your meals? Cut the sugar out. No alcohol. No rice. No fruits. My favorite, quick and easy meal is a bowl of raw or cooked cruciferous vegetables with some hard boiled eggs and a half, or more, of an avocado. It's not the most complicated dish but it's very satisfying to me, anyway. I hope Dr. Berg approves.
@@chwang623 Yes. Why not eating the whole avocados? It has more potassium than most other foods and great fats, folate, b5, ect.
I also have been fasting my entire life, just worked for me and never had health issues. My mantra is 'eat food in it's natural, God -made state'. God bless you--health is the best gift!
Put your olive oil in the fridge for 24 hours. If it doesn't solidify it's cut with junk oil. Found out mine is indeed impure despite saying otherwise on the lable. It's actually a major problem in the olive oil industry.
@@dentside78 Lamp oil! Are you living in the 19th century?
@@dentside78 great idea 💡
Dr.Berg!!! Thank you so very much❤ I am a 55+ female who was stuck at a weight for what seemed like FOREVER :/ Since I began your 18/6 intermittent fasting 2 mos ago, I have lost 20 lbs. You are awesome!!!👏 🌹
Dr Berg I'm extremely grateful for your channel I started doing intermittent fasting and keto on Saturday of last week when I weighed in on Friday I lost 15 lbs. I started at 407lbs and one week later I weighed 392..lbs
Great video! I developed a habit of brushing and waterpicking my teeth immediately after dinner - this really helps me not want to snack at night. Then I feel ready to wind down for sleep and my mouth is free of food tastes. 😁
I do the same and I think it is an amazing and overlooked “tip” to stop snacking. The only issue I have is that toothpaste tastes so sweet when doing keto 😆
DR Eric Berg is the best doctor if it comes to knowledge and well being 🏆
Thanks Dr. Berg! Another awesome video. I've lost 23 pounds so far and I am now close to my weight loss goal. I look and feel so much better! You are the best!
Thank you Dr.Berg. I found your channel 2 months ago about IF Keto. It's changed my life completely. I have tried different ways to lose weight/fat nothing seemed to work. Losing a little bit of weight and gained again. Walking 5 days a week. I baked a lot and that also messed my weight/fat loss program. I was tired of trying and failed again. Then found your channel. IF 16:8 started in March. I have lost 17lbs so far. Low to no carb, no sugars. No snacking like I used to but macadamia and walnuts. Walking/running every other day. Stop baking at this moment (need a Keto baking recipe). I will continue for another 16lbs to get my ideal weight. But IF Keto has become so easy and my lifestyle now. No crave carb or sugar no more. Thanks !
So cool 👍 thanks for sharing!
I watched one of your videos back in August and so glad I did. Being insulin resistance for years, I have learned so much. Your videos have helped me lose 12 pounds since August and my 82 year young mom is down 15! Wow! Thank you so much, I look at food so differently!!
My Keto, 3 cups of hot water till 12pm, then boil broccoli, cauliflower and kale (drink the water you boiled veggies in) mixed with 2 poach eggs and half avocado. Then a fist full of almonds. The at 7 pm, veggies with chicken or meat. Works a treat
Sounds miserable- destined to fail (In my opinion).
I suggest you have at least the full avocado, for its potassium which is otherwise difficult to find despite being so essential, healthy fats, b5, E, folate, ect.
@@mollypitcher9380it sounds miserable to me because of the lack of fruit mostly. I don’t have weight to lose but am dealing with some pretty significant adrenal fatigue. I’m going to do the intermittent fasting and go low carb-ish - but mostly avoiding any processed foods with seeds oils and other garbage. I feel like the coffee might have to go at some point or switch to matcha but I’m not ready yet. I have 1-2 cups in the morning with coconut oil and coconut milk
In 6 months I have lost 35 lbs and 4 inches of my waist pants size. I started with a KETO ish diet along with a 16 - 8 fast. I then changed to a strict KETO OMAD diet with a 23 - 1 fast. 6 months in, I have moved more towards a carnivore diet and backed off my fast to 20 - 4. I couldn't stop the weight loss!!! Now I force myself to add a 2nd meal Or have a couple fat bombs to add some fat calories. I am off 5 prescribed medications and have never felt better.
Dr Berg I can listen to you all day , love the the you fully explain every details
I do low carbs (almost no carbs) and OMAD. It works perfectly for me! Reason why I don’t eat KETO is simple, I do love blueberries specially before my bicycle riding (about 5 times per week 10- 15 Mi) after my only meal about 4 PM when my spouse come from work. I’m retired. I put some maskarpone without sugar on top of it and I really enjoyed it!
On keto you can have up to 1 cup Dr Berg said of blueberries
@@loiscashner6567 I live in Florida and most of time I take those fresh from farms…or sometime from Food Market as organic if is not season for them…I’m 70 and try to live healthy life as possible…
What a lovely RUclips channel!!
Informative and relaxed, without a lecture.
Thank you.
Thanks for watching.
@@DrbergDr. Berg, I’m fighting an autoimmune condition and just started IF and keto. It’s been a week and I already feel a huge difference, mainly in my energy. However, I do not want to lose any weight and I’m having such a hard time getting in enough calories! And fat. Im 34, fit, workout 3-4x a week, still nursing my 1.5 year old.. how do I do it?! You recommend eating once a day for autoimmune but I just don’t see how that’s possible for me. I get so full off my first meal my second is forced in my 4/5 hour window. Thank you!
I've been following this plan for almost 4 years now with great success. I don't follow every little detail but I do the following: start my day with 6 ounces of a ginger water-ACV-lemon juice mixture with mineral water and various added nutrients (B12, K, turmeric powder, cinnamon oil, Vitamin C powder, ginseng, licorice powder, elderberry syrup, cayenne, and hemp oil). On days when I plan to go for a long walk or bike ride I drink a can of Hydro Shot molecular hydrogen water. I then have a cup of coffee with a tablespoon of MCT oil, butter, and heavy cream added along with a healthy dash of sea salt, and a drop of Lugol's iodine. I brew my coffee from freshly ground organic beans, adding cocoa, Lion's Mane, and Reishi mushroom powders to a French press.
I have my brunch at noonish, usually consisting of 2 or 3 pasture-raised duck or chicken eggs, and bacon. I also drink about 6 ounces of a smoothie made with kefir and berries and various powders, including Moringa, Camu Camu, beet root, cinnamon, golden milk, collagen peptides, celery, and Keto BHB. Lately I've been adding a couple of tablespoons of golden flax meal to the smoothie.
I drink tea in the afternoon, including green tea and hibiscus tea, with lemon juice. I sometimes have a piece of cheese or some nuts, or smoked sausage in small portions. Often I go without eating at all in the afternoon.
My evening meal is usually a portion of pasture-raised beef, chicken, or pork, or wild-caught seafood, with a salad and/or cooked vegetable such as cabbage or asparagus. I have some chia pudding, nuts or low-sugar chocolate to follow. I drink low-sugar kombucha prior to the meal.
I just had a physical and my results: 120/80 BP, 5.5 H1C, everything else in the normal range except slightly elevated blood glucose, high total cholesterol (261 mg/dL) and LDL. I'm not too concerned because my weight, HDL and triglycerides are normal and I'm not convinced that "high" LDL or total cholesterol means anything, especially on keto.
I am 70 years old, healthy, and exercise regularly outdoors, and I take ZERO prescription medications (but quite a few supplements). The main supplements I recommend for most people are Mg, D3+K2, NAC, ACV, omega-3, L-theanine, quercetin, C, and zinc. I also take ashwaghanda, which works well for me to improve my mood and decrease stress, along with SAMe.
I thank Dr. Berg for putting me on the right track. I always find useful information here, and it is my belief that many more people would benefit from his advice if they would only try and follow it. It does take discipline and perserverence but the rewards are great and worthwhile.
Great 👍 thanks for sharing!
You're still going to die, what then?
@@johnhoffman8203 what’s your problem?
Your keto has saved me. I can’t afford to do perfect clean keto but I do the best I can,and I only have one meal a day - that’s dinner. I’m peri menopausal and I’ve been taking DIM , D3, ACV, sea kelp among other supplements recommended by you. Please can you do more videos for hormonal imbalance and peri menopause? I am and will always remain grateful to you for giving me back some quality of life, and for giving more knowledge and results than all doctors I have seen in person put together. Thank thank you thank you 🙏🇳🇿❤️
What is DIM?
@@monicakeenon8943 I also want to know what DIM is
If you have have checked all his videos on peri-menopause, hormonal health and issues already, then you may want to study his videos on vitamin d absorption. My favorite to date is one he made a few days ago.
The simpliest is to eat meat and veges , just protein and veges
@@experimenthealthyketo83 Hello Do you mean Dr. Lemon complete with Chaff?
I don't know if you will ever read this but if you do thank you so much for your stinging nettle vids. I'm a 68 female who has spent the last 30 years in pain with RA/secondary sjogrens syndrome - could no longer work, fly on a plane or do anything. I listened to your video and got myself some nettle capsules (the roots) and tincture (the leaves) and also rub my hands every few days with a couple of leaves and for the first time in 30 years I am actually free from pain no pain in hands, feet (so bad that could not get off the kerb) shoulders (could hardly get dressed) back of neck. My ESR is totally normally for the first time since first test those 30 years ago and I'm nearly off the opiod painkillers that I've been taking for the past 30 years. Needless to say the NHS doctors are saying that perhaps I did not have RA in the first place - although my hands say differently - tried to tell them about this but they are not interested. Anyway thank you hopefully the few years that I have left will be pain free. Whenever I meet anyone with arthritis in general I will always pass them on to your channel. Love Liz and her seven cats. Oops forgot to mention now growing my own nettles and picking wild ones and learning how to make a good tincture.
Wow this is seriously so inspiring!!! Are you doing healthy keto and intermittent fasting too or not at all?
Your videos have a very calming effect. I have struggled with depression and anxiety for a long time but knowing theres a solution to my problem makes all the difference.
Thanks!
Dr. Berg, I already do much of what you've suggested (bulletproof coffee, ACV before meals, exercise, add sea salt/electrolytes, etc), but I am mostly Ketocarnivore, meaning few vegetables. I just can't do all those veggies, as I don't like most, however I do like to add the few that I do like to my egg & meat dishes, like green beans, mushrooms, baby carrots. I am having success and feel better, having gone from 374 lbs down to 298 lbs so far. So, I appreciate your advice and found a few new tips in this video that I can incorporate into my routine. So, I thank you very much!
Awesome 👏
@@dentside78 Exactly 😋
Thank you for taking time to post all this great information. I've been diagnose with type 2 diabetes. My dr gave me no help, or direction. I have felt so helpless for over the past year or two. I don't really need to lose weight, just get my insulin to kick in. There are some days I am really dragging at work. I plan on incorporating more of your suggestions. Thank you again!!
How you now?
I'm starting all over from scratch ...So i really appreciate this information..I benefit each time you replay your videos.. because I just don't retain the information...and I goofed up so much on keto before that I had the opposite effect...I gained weight..I think I know now that the Atkins protein drinks I was relying on packed on a few pounds..and the honey that I mix with peanut butter didn't suffice for a salad to knock my appetite..but because of my hip I can't exercise..I'm barely able to walk...and I have to eat with the pain meds so i won't get naseous...more weight..
But let me try this again.
So keep playing this video especially...I'm very grateful..
God Bless You..my friend.
On my KETO journey, I've reached the point of no longer ordering any toppings for my burgers other than maybe a strip or two of bacon (ketchup and mustard being derived from plants...and if I tried to eat lettuce or sliced tomato, I'd probably have to have my stomach pumped). At any rate, I'm finding that my brain is becoming sharper and my communications skills much keener. Thank you Dr. Eric Berg for allowing me to share!!!!
I'm curious...what does lettuce and tomatoes do to your system that makes you say that?
@@dutchess314 Actually I was just joking. Probably nothing. However, lettuce and tomatoes reportedly have lectins, oxalates, phytates, enzyme inhibitors, and antinutrients, none of which sound too healthy. 😁
OH!...😅🤣😁
This is the ultimate Dr Berg video for the ones who are ready for this powerful message of getting the whole package. Thank you, Dr Berg. Overeating can occur when I crack open a bag of my favourite snack food and mindlessly chomp away. Binge snacking is a problem.
His videos on cravings can help beat that. I had to increase electrolytes and sometimes nutritional yeast, additionally to doing healthy keto and intermittent fasting.
@@experimenthealthyketo83 Thank you 😊.
Our body is always regenerating, and when it gets the nutrients it needs and no garbage to block them it will regenerate as God made us; in a state of health. The importance of doing the Healthy version, I learned, is because it takes the body as long as it needs to reverse years of neglect and illness. The amazing energy & feeling of wellbeing is priceless.
Thanks to Dr. Berg for the great tips. I've been practicing keto diet for a while now. Been practicing keto diet for 15 days. It felt very challenging to eat food that I had never done before in one meal a day.
I keep pork skins, pickles, pumpkin seeds and dried meats as last resort snacks handy because I seldom give in and they have a long shelf life. Thanks for your advice!
Glad to help!

thank you for this video! It really helped me a lot. Been doing keto for 2 weeks and down 8 lbs. with 18 more to go . Hoping to get off Trulicity and Metformin and my BP medications and no longer a diabetic after 36 years!
Its amazing how doing Keto really takes your appetite ! sometimes I just don't have any interest in eating . thank you Dr. Berg!
So cool 👍 Have you check his videos on metformin alternative?
Oh wow those yeast flakes are great!!!!! I'm having 9 nutritional yeast tablets every day and the flakes in the salad will be so much more palatable!
Good morning Dr. Berg thank you once again for being here for us!! 💙
Great review, Dr B .. I did great throughout Lent this Spring. Rolling along towards Pentecost Sunday, another 50 days after Easter Sunday.
Love your work.
Thanks Dr Berg 😊 I think the biggest challenge on keto is to stop completely eating fruit in the summer time, yet I think we can compensate for that by adding berries to keto shakes.
@Jean Carroll In my opinion blueberries are too sweet otherwise than in small amounts. Gentle mashing does not break the seeds, which are however very small in blueberries. What do you then think about eating any plants?
Fruit is fine in small amounts. If you are insulin resistant it may be lower or none cause it spikes you so bad but fruit is fine in small amounts on keto.
@@worldofcyn only berries certain types are fine
Thank you, I believe you are the only real doctor in this world.
💡
*Pro Tip: If you struggle with the psychological aspects of eating, out of habit or emotions, all the science in the world doesn't address the Mind over Matter dance you go through. Dig deep folks, and dont give up. Get ready to change eating habits! Get ready to see and smell yummy things and still say No. It'll get easier if you really stick to it.....If you can follow strictly and properly for 3 full days, you wont be hungry, and you will struggle even less around the temptations. And everytime you fail to string those 3days together, start over and remind yourself that You can do it like so many others have. Then continue for 30days! After that, Do Not go back to old habits, start applying all the science hes teaching for a Lifetime! Happy Health!*
Thanks for taking your time on this
@1985snx you're welcome, hope your journey is fruitful, literally! 😄🍓🍊🍎🍌🍐
Dr. Berg your videos are addictive Lol. Why? Because I am losing weight everyday and I just can't get enough of keto info so I dont get in trouble and some people say I told you so lol. So far I lost 35 lbs in 2 months. I am pumped and excited to hit my old good days 110lbs. God help me. Just ordered nutritional yeast flakes and mct oil, because my slow diggestion sucks greatly. Good luck everyone! Thank you Dr. Berg! Finally someone helping the world to lose weight without emptying your pockets without no results anyway. Blessings all 🙏💪🏻🌿♥ARUGULA♥
My energy level has greatly improved. My trainer was amazed at how strong I have become. I completed exercises that included heavy weights and did it without struggling, before this new way of eating I was always struggling to keep up.
Thanks Dr. Berg
That's fantastic! Most welcome!
My entry point was indeed a prolonged fasting. Didn't know I would switch to keto, but made sense to do it.
I've been watching your amazing videos for the past few months. I just started Keto three weeks ago, at 16 hour and now i'm up to 18 hr. fast. First week was a struggle because i love carbs and sugars, i did cheat a couple of times but now i feel it's starting to kick in, more energy, focus and overall feeling better, inflammation is going down big time already, it's unreal. I've been drinking water with lemon and acv daily. I'm assuming that is ok to eat lemon peel, i like it too but i wasn't sure if it would bump me out of keto. Thank you for all of your hard work in making these highly valuable health and nutrition videos. Keep up the amazing work Doc!
Marco P.
Yes, lemon peel has only .3g of carbs per tablespoon and is super nutrients rich, especially in vitamin c, ect.
To become healthier in life, after watching a few of your videos, I made the plunge. I first started by losing the energy drinks and soda, and switching to water and green tea with a tablespoon on honey. The transition took a few days, and was painful at times, but the headaches went away and at the end of the three days, I was onto water and un sweet green tea. Just doing that alone was honestly saving me 1700 calories a day. Due to my dyspepsia, it made it difficult to eat in regular intervals, and when I didn't, I found myself being in a constant state of nausea. So I began fasting. I started out with 16:8 window of eating. Within a few days, I was down to 18:6 window. With another little push, I've lowered my window to 20:4. Since quitting sugary, carbonated drinks and getting to the 20:4 fasting window, I've noticed that my dyspepsia is almost completely gone, along with the nausea. I'm also losing a few pounds every day or two. I'm no longer tossing and turning at night. My hunger pain has returned to normal and extremely tolerable, instead of being so strong it made me want to vomit. I'm only consuming about 600 calories at 1pm, and another final meal of about the same with a larger portion of salad at 4:30pm as to be done eating by 5pm. I haven't felt so mentally balanced, energetic, or tireless in years. And not having to deal with the symptoms of my dyspepsia with my diet change has really made life so much more tolerable. And I haven't even gone keto yet... Thanks Doc.
Wondering what dyspepsia was and looked it up. I was getting terrible heartburn for the past months since I've been eating bad. I'm trying to eliminate sugar, breads, and all the junk food I used to eat in the past year. I'm on Day 12 now and actually sleeping all night now when before with my partner getting up all night I was never getting any sleep.
Niceee!!
Thank you, Dr. Berg. Today's video is so packed full of great info to get me serious again about going back on keto that it's given me that motivation to restart! Tons of motivating info in one place makes for a video I'll return to again and again. Much appreciated!
G/Day Doctor Berg.I have Apple Cider,lemon In water with a pinch of salt.Thank you for keeping me motivated.I find fasting hard but I will give it a go.
Watch Dr. Pradip Jamnadas and Dr. Jason Fung as well. Start slowly. Learn about becoming fat adapted before you start to fast so you avoid cravings. Use an app like BodyFast... the fat burner program... which changes the hours of fasting daily which makes it more interesting. Be patient. Every day you succeed a little is still a day you've given your body some grace.
@@fluffymuffi1 Thanks I know I can do it I used to when I was younger.I have done Atkins in the past and that helped keep the cravings at bay.
He made videos on how to make fasting easy if you want to know this. You can find them on this channel or his website or by asking his staff.

So cool 👍
I'm not doing keto, but i did IF for the last 4 weeks (16/8 - 18/6) and did an 84hour waterfast that I broke today at 3pm (CET) with 1 tablespoon of peanutbutter and a small piece of my selfmade thinbread (almost zero carbs, only fats, protein and fibre)
had another tablespoont of peanutbutter with a little of the thinbread 90 minutes later, and am now eating 150g of Chickenbreast With Yoghurt/Garlic sauce
I don't know if thats a good way to break the fast, but I am now down from 152kg to 138kg from 5 weeks ago
Thanks for you Tips & Videos Dr. Berg! I'll use them to improve my eating habits even more

Wow 🤩 inspiring!
Hi Dr Berg thanks so much for all your information on keto. I used to always feel sick and unhealthy and I feel and look great now that keto is part of my lifestyle. One powerful observation for me is that my tongue is always clean and clear now! I used to always wake up with a heavily coated tongue, but no more on keto! The inside-out healing powers of keto are incredible. Cheers, Anthea
I just remembered, when I began Keto/IF I had been eating the cheaper version of coco-krispies, that's all I had the energy for, and I craved them. So I began as Dr. Berg explained but allowed myself one bowl of the coco-krispies in the evening. I couldn't stomach the cereal anymore after 2 1/2 weeks. Getting all the nutrients got rid of my craving.
So cool 👍 thanks for sharing.
Non dairy golden milk is a delish way to get your turmeric on for a change from the tea. I drink mine at night. Helps me rest better.
If you are checking the comments, I want to say thanks. I recently got covid, and it was like having the flu. No lung issues. A little fatigue. The doctor was impressed with how clear my lungs were 4 days from infection. I followed your videos about protecting yourself from Covid 19. FYI, I did get the Moderna vaccine last year. No booster.
Mike
Yes, he checks the comments and then makes videos to answer them. But he won’t have much time to answer each, since so many come in.
Exercise + nutrition. Burn the carbs & sugar.
Deplete the glycogen.
And meal plans/suggestions really would help.
Magnesium for sleep also.
His website provides meal plans.
He also provides different magnesium formula for a better sleep. I’ve experimented with his D3&K2 and his electrolytes that contains magnesium. Definitely getting better sleep with those, additionally to doing healthy keto and intermittent fasting.
Absolute legend for pushing people to keep their bodies in fat-burning mode and stay healthy. People don’t understand fasting and are ignorant in terms of how our bodies really work. Intermittent fasting should also be 48, 72 hours or even more not only 24 hours. The thing is we survive just fine with our complete 102 vitamins & minerals when we fast. You’re not gonna die haha. If anything you will become “a live”
Absolutely 🤗💞

Good morning! Thank you again for your faithful time helping us.
Honestly I think the fasting part is MOST IMPORTANT ❤
Thanks for your input.
Awesome, I've learned so much from you and your channel. Indeed, my hunger goes away when I am on track. I always knew nutrition was important - but I never realized just how important it is.
Hugs, love, healing and prayers to you, Dr. Berg, You are a hero to us all.
hi Doc... thanks for the Refresher, just finished a month of Ramadan and implemented some of information you have provide on your videos... was hard, but once i controlled my mind and desires i am seeing results... as is said 'Rome was not built in a day'.. thank you again for ALL the info...
Super awesome video! You are so informative. I lost 20 plus pounds because I FIRST wanted to be healthy, and realized I was basically doing the keto diet. I decided that I was going to do the HEALTHY keto version and you are the man! Thank you so much. I've been ordering several of your products and love them. I've slacked off a little, so have been at a plateau, but your videos encourage me to get back on the clean track. Thank you SO MUCH. You are the bomb!!!

Over 16 mins is not as you say “terribly long”.

I started a keto diet when I was 49/50 years old.
Prior, I was quite keen on alcohol. It got me through a day. As a result, over time, I realised I had less muscle, fatty liver, high blood pressure, diabetes and varying liver enzymes. Plus I had ascites. What to do?
I was on the wrong side of 40 and my lifestyle had caught up, on me.
I started by weening myself off alcohol and drinking more water. Walking regularly.
The cabbage soup diet, was my early point of call. Try and ‘reset’ myself.
After 10 days on that, I started a low carb, keto diet.
This was not easy. I am intolerant to farmed meat, fish and foodstuff like cheese.
Tinned tuna, mackerel etc., filled my protein gap.
I got to a point of walking 4 miles, every evening. I kept to the 4 miles. However, as time progressed, I tried to do the 4 miles in a shorter time.
In just 12 weeks, I had turned this body around... including putting on muscle.
Okay, life has taken a path, since. Now, 58, I find myself needing to do something to get out of bad health.
During being homeless (for other reasons), my health went down. Lack of good nutrition and exercise. Poor motivation etc. Now, I have poor muscle mass (again). Completely unfit. Little income.
Can I do this 10 years on?
Well, I hope so... otherwise, I am done with.
Yes you can do it again. I started a few months ago at 68, already seeing improvements in waist size, blood glucose levels. Start with something easy, maybe cut out sugar and go for a good walk each day. Then you can add new strategies. It’s up to us!
Maybe you could locate a great farmer to help and get some proper foods in exchange?
I have no problem getting the salad down last. As a matter of fact I always eat fiber after protein, as I believe it pushes out the waste more efficiently.
I wish I was having more success with my keto diet. Maybe I am internally, but I'm not yet feeling it. While I wouldn't mind losing a few pounds, I'm trying keto because I have so little energy, hot flashes that wake me up several times a night and I tend to forget...a lot! I gradually transitioned to keto over six weeks starting in January, and I've been strictly on keto for 3 months now. I been very faithful to the diet and haven't cheated a single time. I'd say I'm consuming between 20 to 25 grams of carbs per day, probably less. I only eat about 3 cups of veggies a day, but I'm gradually increasing that and will reach 7 cups probably in another three to four months. I eat plenty of high quality fats, nutrient dense foods such as pastured eggs, meat and dairy. I take a wide array of high-quality supplements. My one weakness is that about 4-5 times a week, I'll have a Love Good Fats bar late at night when I'm working. I've tried intermittent fasting, but it's really hard to do. I wake up in the morning with hunger pains so intense that I feel severely nauseous. This happens every day, sometimes more than once. I'll have a few macadamias or a little cheddar and that helps to relieve it. But it makes it really hard to wait until noon to eat. Does anyone else have this nausea issue? My nightly hot flashes have nearly doubled since I started keto, so I'm much more tired than when I began. Despite taking electrolytes and MCT oil, I haven't had any improvement in my memory. And I've had very painful acid reflux the past couple of weeks. I haven't dropped any weight. It makes me feel very sad that I'm not improving. But I have vowed to do this until the end of August and see if things change for the better. In fact, I'll probably go a full year, and really do the best I can. I feel like this is the right road for me, but it's so discouraging to not feel like I'm getting healthier. Like I said, hopefully I'm getting healthier internally, and sooner or later, I'll start to feel more vitality!
Please don’t fast if really hungry. Check Dr Berg’s videos on your symptoms and solve them one by one.
Also the electrolytes that you are having, are you sure there’s no maltodextrin in it?
@@experimenthealthyketo83 - Hi, thanks so much for your reply. I will take your advice and definitely not fast when I'm really hungry. Something wonderful happened yesterday: I wasn't hungry all morning and had no nausea at all. I didn't feel like eating until 3pm and I had lots of energy! It was wonderful! Today I was able to go until 1:00pm before the hunger and nausea kicked it, then I ate right away. So hopefully those are good signs of improvement! As for my electrolytes, I'm using pure cream of tarter and sea salt in water. I'm taking magnesium in the evening, but I'll double-check and see if there's any maltodextrin - I know it's pretty bad from what I've learned from Dr. Berg. Thanks again!

Everything you say is so right on!!! You have helped me very much by watching your videos. I have lost 40 lbs since Aug 2022 and still in mild ketosis. I am leading up to intermittent fasting. I did Atkins 20 years ago and lost 110 lbs and kept it off for 2 years. My energy is great now, everyday is a good day and appetite reduced greatly, aches and pains went away and skin feeling better.
Just do low carb! Thank you!!!

Very informative and a great reminder with beneficial tips. Thank you as always Dr Berg for taking care of our health!
3 years after I started following Dr. Berg, I have kept my weight under control. I went from 240 to 174 in less than 1 year. I am 5'8" and 55 years old. I am in better shape today than I was in my 40s. No blood pressure medication, no diabetes medication, no meds. I still watch his videos to keep my understanding fresh and to pick up things that I may have missed before. Dr. Berg makes it easy in his step by step way of explaining things.
Amazing!!!
Well done ti you. Do you suffer from the lose skin? I am 45 female my weight is over 100. I already have plenty of stretch mark and cellulite. I am scared of having saggy breast and lots of lose skin.
@@jahaansaid748 The loose skin can go away. It takes time. There is a point where it may not. Some people use plastic surgery for things like that. It was not needed in my case. In less than a year my skin tightened up. I did quite a bit of prolonged fasting, which helps speed up the recovery process I believe. There is nothing to fear. Life is a challenge, just deal with the challenge of the day.
Thank you for repeating again and again much needed information for the masses.
My mom nagged til I ate something 7th-- 12th grade. Later married and not always eating but weight was good. Years later on my own raising my son,, I fed him well but not enough food for me. It was keto back then and I didn't know that except I did eat sugary when I did eat. Now years later I'm doing keto and have learned a lot about healthy eating and NO sugar. Thank you Dr Berg for the videos.
Terrific post! I'm a year into this lifestyle change, but having this as a general support is always helpful. I'm also going to add this as a source when I'm trying to introduce these concepts to my friends and family. You're fabulous Dr Berg!
