Yes there are essential amino acids, but most of the amino acids used in a human the body can synthesize. You should know that. Also there are essential fatty acids too.
I am a physician that reversed my obesity insulin resistance metabolic syndrome fatigue gerd joint pains and losing 90+ lb and 14 inches around my waist in just a short period of time by following the very same principles that Dr Eric Westman is sharing so simply and beautifully here!! No Rx, surgeries or gym memberships!😁
1. Eat Real food! Not from a laboratory!
2. Control carbs! Eat greens &veggies!
3. Prioritize protein:meat fish poultry eggs!
4. Fill with healthy FATS & salt to taste!
5. Eat if you're hungry, don't if you're not!
*Avoid making your food/drink sweet!
*Avoid the distraction/complexity of trying to recreate your old carby foods!😁
*Exercise can wait! (until you get closer to your ideal body weight/health! Exercise is not a weight loss tool and it can actually be counterproductive!) 👍
I have had the honor and privilege of meeting Dr Westman in person on several occasions. I have never met anyone with more wisdom and passion to share this message of healing and weight loss using simple dietary and lifestyle changes that are accessable to everyone! God bless you Dr Westman for the many decades of service and commitment to sharing your message of healing. We are all better for it. 🙏
Dr Issa, I'm so glad you were able to lose weight and all, but for post menopausal women (surgical), w thyroid, blood sugar, and adrenal issues, losing weight is so hard. Especially when we don't have Drs in our area. KCMO or KCKS
@@digimom82 Karen what you said is so true!! We are all unique our bodies hormones genetics and condition are each so different! We all need to find our own unique way to access how the body was designed in order to burn stored fat for fuel and heal. I hope that in the coming years that more and more MD's will be open-minded and have their own conversion experience so they can help more people. I wish you the best!
Ramon Issa Thank you Dr. Issa for posting this simple to follow list. It pretty much sums it up on how to stick to a low carb lifestyle. I am going to print it out and stick it on my fridge to help keep me going forward. I am in my 60’s and have been on Keto ( or should say trying to stick to Keto ) for the last year. I have only lost 24 lbs. I need to lose another 50lbs. to be healthier. I’ve had a few set backs because of health issues. Now next month I am scheduled for minor surgery , I have been worried about not being able to exercise . I usually workout 3-4 days per week. But now that I’ve watched Dr. Westmans video and read your post I feel much confident that I can do this. Thanks again!
@@rosedouglas2527 yes! Don't worry if you can't exercise you will still lose the fat!! Best wishes in your health. I'm glad my summary helped🙏
@Google User weight loss is controlled by your food intake not by exercise. Your most powerful weight loss too is your BMR basal metabolic rate or just bring alive 😊 great job on 45lb in 10 weeks!! How long have you stalled now? Exercise will only help you lose more weight if it keeps us from eating drinking carbs 😁
Diagnosed prediabetic and 350 pounds . Went Keto and brought my A1c from 6.3 to 5. Lost 80 pounds in 18 months . Weight loss stalled. Got discouraged and added carbs. Started gaining weight . Went back to Keto with OMAD. Not hungry with weight loss again. 75 years old. Success.
I just wanted to thank you. I’ve followed you for two years and lost 147lbs so far. Nottm, Uk
Thank YOU 🙌
Amanda smith im in the UK too and ive just come across him today. Im hoping to have similar success 🤞🏽😊
@@sherrylewin1540 Just keep going & you will get there.

Thats awesome Amanda!! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
I do not like to recreate a food that I’m not supposed to indulge in. It only makes me want the real thing. I stick to foods that I’m allowed. After a period of time I found that I no longer crave sweets
Lynn Ohrel I agree with you 💯!
I gave up sugar about 2 months before starting keto so I don't miss it
@Lynn, that's exactly how I feel. From the very beginning, I thought, why would you go to so much trouble to try and recreate something that you're not supposed to have? Why tempt yourself? There are so many unfortunate wrong ideas on the diet, but if people would just listen to Dr. Westman, Dr. Berg, Dr. Berry, etc., they would get the right education on it.
💯 agree
Keto desserts are a waste of time...and expensive .
I used keto to loose 50 pounds. I am in a wheelchair. I do exercise by doing one mile laps in my neighborhood. I also go to the gym and workout. I can't do most leg workouts, but I can workout most of my upper body. On exercise you just need to adjust to what you have.
Im like you im
Mobility impaired with my legs and feet but wanna lose weight. Didnt realise just working out your upper body working makes u lose weight. Any partic channels u can recommend?
I'm 23 months post SAD. Lost 65 lbs without exercise. Back to my college physique (well...mostly 😁).
RN G SAD is the Standard American Diet.
@@Chuckmbfl thanks. So many Americans think they're the only ones on RUclips.
85 lbs down Thanks to Keto and Dr.Westman and Casey Durango
I’ve been watching Casey the last few months and I have her journal!!👍🏻
Thank you, Dr Westman! Three years ago, I lost 130# - and nine medications! - just following your simple strategy - I'm very grateful. I got lazy last year at thanksgiving and just now going back to the 20 grams rule - the weight was gradually creeping back and so were my aches and pains. Best of everything to you - you've helped so many people with your easy plan. 💜💛💚💙💜💛💚💙
20 grams rule works great for me too!
If it wasn’t for keto I’d still be stuck in bed. Keto was a huge marker in getting my life back.
Noticed by Blood Sugar jumped drastically when I eat anything with Maltitol, so no more Adkins Bars!
Yeah I've found most of the keto processed snacks are worthless too.
Bad for your gut
@@audreynicoletti7329 I'm getting that too. I'm trying to address my inflammation and learning (as much as possible with all the different opinions out there, lol) about how foods affect the gut. Kinda fascinating. One of the unanticipated benefits I'm finding to IF is to see food more as a utility instead of a recreation.
On June 11th of 2018 I started following your program. I have lost 76.5 lb. It has not been easy as I am over 50 without a gallbladder and was grossly overweight however my life has turned around and I am now entering my 60s as a much healthier woman. Thank you for your accessible information
Great job Catherine! I'm also 58 and no gallbladder.
Fantastic results Catherine Beaudry, you are an inspiration for a newbie like me under very similar circumstances, thank you for sharing.
Tom Bidlack it will kill you in long run
@@chandanmajumdar7892 got experience of that have you?
@@chandanmajumdar7892 The SAD will also kill you. We all die. This is not news. The difference is the way in which you live before you die has to be considered. Do I want to have parts of my body amputated because of Diabetes? Do I want to have cardiovascular disease and all the effects of that. Do I want to be able to do activities with my grandchildren.
Do I want to take a handful of pills every day and suffer the side effects?
Excellent Dr. Westman! I have always followed you and your diet manual. I am to goal and have been maintaining for months. I stay under 20gcarbs total. 62 yr old female. Inflammation gone. Keto for life.
Wow! Impressive. How long did it take you?
Hey Dr Westman, you're so pleasant to listen to. I bought Dr. ATKINS' book back in the early 90s and followed the regiment closely. My weight loss hit a plateau after a month and it turned out I was eating too many nuts and cheese. Also, I found doing the induction phase for at least 4 weeks instead of 2 (the 20 gram max carbs) helped my body get in the groove. When I was 49 and in the throws of menopause I did Atkins for 3 months and dropped 18 pounds. My older sister kept scolding me for not eating fruit, cereal with fiber etc.... said I was going to have a heart attack. After a month her husband asked what I was doing and I answered the opposite of my sister. Her breakfast was GoLean cereal with fruit, nonfat milk, orange juice and tea. 17 years later she's having eggs for breakfast, no more cereal or juice and feeling better and keeping her weight in check
Regarding Intermittent Fasting, too many people make the mistake of going "cold turkey" on carbs. You need to increase your fasting window very gradually. Eventually you will be able to do 16 hours fasting, or 18 hours, or 20 hours or one meal a day (OMAD). Keep in mind that your body will eventually adapt to any IF schedule you are on. The key is to vary your schedule. Never stay on any one schedule for too long. Change things up. Eat a higher carb meal every now and then. Experiment with your body, track your progress, and see what works best for you.
Once again Doc....thank you for the simplicity. The macros and ratios and all of the other hype about needing supplements out there can make you feel as enslaved as you did when you followed a calorie restricted diet, or any other diet plan. When I fell off the wagon on other eating plans, I would sing the song of "oh well, I went and did it again so I might as well eat 4000 calories of junk." Keto the Dr. Westman way has given me great success, and also permission to forgive myself if I eat off plan for a day or a meal. I am still 100 lbs to the good! Forever indebted to you Doctor W.
Anita T congratulations!!
It’s a new mindset
Once we get ourselves to realize that we’ll enjoy where you are now at
The only Keto video on RUclips that’s sensible and truthful!
I wouldn't say "only"!
Perhaps you haven't looked very far
I also LOVE Dr Rob Cywes - the carb addiction doc. So simple, direct, and to the point.
Sorry, not true.
@@c.l.montoya2972 Yes it is Keto products! Grass feed bull##! Use butter/oil in coffee! RUclips is full of BS Keto advice!
Dodge the carbs,eat meat,whatever you can afford ,keep adaptation ' crutches' like fat bombs etc,time limited( I allowed 4 weeks of whatever wierd stuff helped keep me on track,and then found I just didnt need them anymore.) Be patient,keto is a long term healing protocol not a quick fix for profit journey! Love yourself enough to allow the healing to take place,it can take months to notice body composition changing to a natural healthy distribution but its absolutely fascinating! Become your own science project and embrace and enjoy the journey,everyone deserves to enjoy real health❤️🤗
Blackbird Singing Thanks for this 😊.
Blackbird Singing love your advice
Blackbird Singing. Thank you for sharing this. I have felt awful for so many years ( lots of stress, an accident, breast cancer,) just started on a keto diet two weeks ago. I actually feel better. Slowly. What is weird though, it makes everyone around me feel uncomfortable when you don’t part take in all the chips, desserts, and pizza. Some pressure. But I will get through it. It’s about me.. right now, not them.
Thank you! 😊
Does ketones help with fat loss
Thanks Doc! You validated my approach. I do practice IF only because I am rarely hungry. I went KETO in 2014 and dropped 60lbs over 10 months. And maintained my optimal weight. During Covid, I got lazy and bored and gained 25lbs back. Since Feb 1st 2023, I went back on strict KETO and lost 15lbs of what I gained, 10 more to go. Shooting for end of April. No relapsing again.
Thank you for your simplicity! You make it so easy to follow 😃
Thank you Dr. Westman!
Thank you! Dr. Eric Westman!!!
I went from 210 to 136 between Aug 2018 to Mid March 2019. Simple keto just protein and veg. Once a day. Wasn’t trying to loose weight just get off insulin. Best thing that ever happened to me. Went up to 150. Trying to stay there.
Thank you for laying it out for us. I guess I try some way to outsmart my body and still eat the “good” bad stuff but it just won’t work!! Love your vids!
Thank you Dr. excellent info made simple
Dr., you are so reasonable. Thank you!
Thanks you're so practical!
Thank you for a great simple video on keto. Going to try it.. God bless you and your family😇
Cannot thank you enough! Your lectures have changed my life.
I wish that there was a keto clinic in my area to guide and help me. I'm pretty much alone. Thanks to doctors like you that post videos to help me along, I appreciate you.
Wishing I could find a keto friendly clinic/practitioner in the Nashville area as well!😢
I'm so thankful I get all this great info for this free info at my fingertips.
Thank you for your invaluable information.
Thank you Dr. Westman for keeping Keto simple and very helpful for us.
Thank you for all you do.
Love the 2 nutritionally packed keto meals a day. I naturally fast about 14 hrs a day. Low carb is the main secret with good space between meals.
Me too. I like going 16-18 hrs and then eating two nutritious meals in the remaining hours.
Victoria, try doing 16 hours fasts as this will get benefits of autophagy. ruclips.net/video/jqZsS03dlPk/видео.html
Thanks you are so on point. I love your commitment and knowledge. All the best. I started KETO for vestibular issues I have. Lack of exercise is not an issue even though I can't right now. Lost 60 lbs in 8 months.
I followed Dr. Westman's eating plan last year. I lost weight very fast and I felt awesome!
Also I have Psoriatic Arthritis and I was used to living in pain daily. This eating plan actually really helps a lot with that. I had so much less pain etc.... This really does help with inflammation. If you have any problems with that - This will help so much.....
Thank you Dr. Westman! Hope to see you in Kentucky soon ... PLEASE!!!😘
Have learned so much....but when I started, I had no knowledge of Keto. I just avoided "white" foods, that is rice, potatoes and bread. That sparked enough success and curiosity that I became aware of what I was benefiting from. Now I am happily on a 20g carb diet. But it's not a "diet"...it's how I prefer to eat.
Sweet!!!❤️❤️👍🏼
Thanks for another informative video! Keep up the great work.
Thank you Dr.Westman you sir are a Blessing 😊
Thank you! Video very helpful!
Excellent summary.
I been following Dr Westman for years and have just found this channel, Dr Westman helped me with getting into keto when nothing much else worked.
Absolutely amazing.
Finally someone who makes keto simple! I have stalled for months and I believe it's the keto treats I have purchased. Time to limit those or not eat them at all.
Hi Kristine, we are actually launching a dedicated course on Stalls at Adapt Your Life Academy. It’s called Stall Slayer
Check out www.adaptyourlifeacademy.com
I’ve eaten keto since 2019. Was caught up in “keto treats” but eventually decided that its better for me to eat nothing between an actual meals. Its not necessary. Works for me!! No $ spent on products.
Thanks doc. Much appreciated.💖
Thank you so much for your informative talks. I am starting Jan 6 and listening to you is positive and encouraging. I would love to be able to come to your clinic but I am from Detroit area and finding a doctor to support keto
Lifestyle is difficult. So thank you for sharing all your information.
He is absolutely right about exercising. I was a high level athlete when I was younger and when I went in to the work force put on weight. Over time I gained about 30lbs at 5'7". I worked out over the years and was strong but heavy and couldn't lose more than a couple of pounds. About 8 years ago I stopped working out completely while going low calorie, low carb. Over the next 4-5 months I easily lost the 30lbs and then started working out again. Have kept it off now for the 8 years and may fluctuate 2-5 lbs at the most.
Long and low for me. Exercise is important, particularly as we age. That said, raising cortisol by exercising at too high an intensity will be counter productive.
Thank you Dr , you make things easy to adopt keto lifestyle.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this information, I live in Texas and have never seen an Keto type event. However, I’m going to start looking for them!
im new, love the concept, have to rethink eating, i still want sweets, life long habits. im focused on what i can have, knowing im helping my body is good. thanks for all your research and honest approach.
Thanx for media which allow us from far countries to meet such people thanx Doc a lot
Thank you hope to see you in Chicago 😊👍🏽
Wow Doc! Thanks so much for this info. So much simpler and very basic! Time to relook the way I am doing this and staying off the internet. Too much stuff out there that makes it confusing. I always thought that the Keto and Atkins diets were to get rid of the sugars forever!! Here I go and beginning all new with this diet! Thanks again
Simple, practical- appreciated. A lot. Thank you so much =)
thanks, its really change my understanding. Finally, im CLEAR how to really do keto
Great tip on 'keto creations", there are so many recipes online for keto cookies/brownies/cakes/etc. and though I make an exception every few weeks for one... I try to keep in mind that I'm trying to lose weight and the calories would be better from some protein or veggies vs the sweets that are hard to refuse.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, this works.....Dr Westman
Have a great time on the cruise 👌🥰
Yeah Hi to everyone it's only been 7 days and I started some form of keto he is right there is a lot out there. Keep it simple. One thing I notice I'm really not hungry you have to really make yourself eat. I kept my coffee drink which helps me not to be constipated I just use heavy whipping cream and cacao powder or you could even put vanilla extract . I didn't want to give up my coffee also at Costco I found these little cheetah chocolate things with coconut there's only one carb so I'll have 1 or 2 of those A-day and believe it or not almost every fast food has some kind of keto option I'm a Uber driver that was very important to me
Thank you for doing what the internet dosent,keeping it simple and straight forward.your book changed my perspective and life.the internet makes it so complicated and confusing.no one can keep up with it long term,this is sustainable.thank you❤
Going to start this thanks
Thank-you so much for your videos. Whenever I have a question about the keto lifestyle I go to your videos for my answer. You cut through the B.S.
Thank you 🙌
I don't have a weight issue but have been attempting a low carb diet to reverse my pre-diabetic condition (Hemoglobin A1C 6.1.) I drastically decreased the amount of carb intake without reading the labels and thought I was doing ok . I had no idea that I was consuming 150-200 g of carb daily. I just realized it when I googled the carb content after hearing Dr. Westman's 20 g recommendation. No wonder why my A1C isn't going down. Thanks to you, Dr. Westman.
Thank you so much Dr Westman 😊
"The most important thing is to keep the carbs low"
Dress it up all you like, but damn, that quote nails it on the head.
Tweak as you go people, do what you can afford atm.
Don't be like the vegan puritans.
Just as long as you start, and if you see benefits, keep going, get better as you go.
It's really that simple.
I agree on the low carb point, but also eliminate the sugar, it’s in many processed foods. Best thing about low carb, the appetite for more carbs is diminished. My hunger in the past, driven by high carbs, found myself eating all day long. I don’t have that issue today, except during emotional upheavals, such as Jan. 6th.
@@rkeller8141 yes- low carb means eliminating sugar!
You're right but let's not forget to eliminate vegetable seed oils
Thanks 😊
Very useful video. Thanks.
Nice lecture, dr. Westman.
Heard you in May in Pequot Lakes, MN. Thank you for your great work! Keeping it simple. We need people like you teaching the MD'S so we have them on our side! Hope you come back again!
BMOaks thank you, The Adapt Events are coming to Minnesota July 20th. Hope to see you there.

Me too!
Thank you Dr. Westman! I've lost 20 lbs. since Dec. 2018 following lazy keto. Not much, but I've been overwhelmed by social media info, like you said. It does get very confusing. I'm going to try it the way you've explained. I've been watching your videos. It sounds so simple.
Me too! Exact same experience :) Going strict this week and finally peeing some ketones - hang in there!
Great help thanks!
Thank you
💘 Love Table Mountain, Cape Town, South Africa in the back ground. That image is iconic and every visitor makes their way to Blauberg Beach to capture this mountain🎈
I noticed it too. Gorgeous
I do intermittent fasting with keto.I am 51 years old and my regime is 18:6 or 20:4. I keep my carbs under 30 g net carbs a day. I am very rarely hungry and have much more energy and mental clarity than I ever used to have when I filled my body full of sugars. I’ve never had any health problems such as diabetes or high blood pressure and although categorised as obese the heaviest I’ve been at 5ft 7in was 15 stone 12 however I was still only in a size 18 clothes. My reason for changing the way I eat is because I just didn’t feel happy as I was. My unhealthy lifestyle was triggering migraines all the time and my mood swings were really bad. That has massively improved now and even my perimenopause symptoms seem to have calm down. Intermittent fasting is the way our bodies are designed to eat. In the prehistoric times they did not have Pringle bushes and the hunter gatherers did not go out hunting burgers. If they didn’t manage to hunt successfully they went hungry that day and they did not die. They also ate a diet of predominantly protein. We are still programmed that way. Low fat means high sugar so let’s stop diabetes and heart disease by getting rid of sugar. Eat high fat, high protein, low carb and adopt an IF/Keto lifestyle to improve every aspect of your health. ❤️
Love ya Doc. - Thanks !!!
And he's a cutie, too😁😁
I'm 80 years old and it ''appears'' to me it's the way we all ate normally back in the 50's. There was only one fast food in our city - actually, not even fast food since it was a taco place and they made them while you waited … I recall my father bringing donuts home ONE time. We ate sensibly, no snacks in between meals - it was just the normal way of life. If you were to look at some of the photos of the 50's you seldom see any fat people. There was only one girl in our school who was considered "fat" (back then). Today she would only be considered 'plump.'
So true...my mother cooked from scratch. Lots of salad and veggies and no snacks! Chips, soda, ice cream and other packaged foods were only purchased for special occasions like family cookouts. We didn't snack between meals. She used bacon fat and lard. She wasn't trying to cook healthy...just the way she was raised.
We also were MUCH more active! I think that's a big thing too. We always played outside and rode our bikes, even if it was too hot or freezing. There was NOTHING to do in the house so we stayed outside. Sad all this technology has the kids inside all the time.
So true...one TV with only 3 channels! Doing anything outside was better than staying cooped up inside.
Also people MOVED more.
@@lynnries7729 😀 and no remote control!!
Thank you for your research ...and this "more approachable" perspective. It will be 2 years in keto for me and I must say that although I am satiated, I also am very much still addicted to sugars. The donuts roll in to the office and my receptors/triggers go off the charts. Resisting it is achievable 99.9% but it it still an issue.
There are so many keto alternitaves
Thank you for this information as this is the first time I really understood keto diet.
I watched so many videos on keto and intermittent fasting, lol I tried
And stuck to it 100% but to no avail did not drop even a gram.

Very good video Dr Westman......
When will you be back in the Florida area? I started the Keto way of life first of year 2019 I have lost about 40 lbs to date and feel super . I’m a 77 year old man , had a triple bypass two years ago was about 220 lbs. Dr in VA says I needed to loose at least 20 lbs, just wasn’t able to do it on a diet, started keto in Jan . Wonderful way of life . Love your videos.
jon clemons thank you for your support 😊
I wish I would have known about all of this before! I would love to attend one of your events! I live in the midwest and not far from Chicago or Terra Haute.
Right on!!!!
I openly admit: I did all the mistakes you are mentioning.
It’s indeed great Keto Information for people like me on the learning curve and just passed the initial adaptation phase. I still want to create a sweet birthday cake, I usually do not use sweeteners at all.
Doc, you’re the best 👏🏻👏🏻
hi doctor. when u do IF and keto, you literally lose your hunger for many hours. 16-20 hours is easy if u eat keto cause your body is using ketones from your own body fat. i am a person that can’t handle the hunger feeling so powering through is not my kind of thing. when i started keto i had to go to 16/8 cause i was so full from the first meal, cuz the fat was so satiating, that i couldn’t eat the second meal til much later. grehlin decreases so hunger not there til body says hey need more food. I understand u r saying IF not necessary but many of us stumbled into IF cause we just couldn’t eat 3 times a day. they kind of go hand in hand. i’m just addressing the comment about IF and powering through. I realize you are focusing on just what constitutes keto and that IF is really a separate tool. I love your humility and your simplicity. btw i was 232 down to 190 got more to go female 53 with hashimotos. what i like about IF is it helps controls calories cause with 3 meals it is too easy to go over daily energy expenditure. with two meals a day, i can better control it, although i can still go over if i want to. with three it’s a guarantee for me cuz i have a hearty appetite.
Robbielyn Mccrary
I agree. Life is so much easier with IF with Keto, for me, anyway. I have very little hunger.
I just started two weeks ago, along with intermittent fasting. I did so well with the fasting that I’m up to 20:4 and I am stuffed after that one meal. I am literally not very hungry at all. I’m consuming protein and fat keeping my carbs under 20. When did you really see the weight come off? Now, I will say, I’m more concerned right now with reversing my fatty liver. I’m prediabetic and want to get those numbers down. I’m just assuming weight loss will follow?
@@TheVinegarden you keeping your carbs under 20 grams wow thats awesome
@@jamescorsey6041 yes I am. I’m being very dedicated. I was sick and tired of doctors telling me every problem I had was because I was fat. I knew there was a metabolic reason I couldn’t lose weight. I researched everything and found insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. The information I gained from that was invaluable. So I switched to a keto diet which is proven to reverse my insulin levels, treat my fatty liver and the inflammation. In addition the intermittent fasting long term would heal damage the damage carbohydrates have done to my body.
It was a serious learning curve because for years you are told vegetables are good for you ( which they are) but in moderation. When I calculated how many carbs were in a “ healthy salad” yikes! I was eating a ton of carbs just in veggies.
So, I keep my carbs under 20grams a day...increased my fat ( good fats, olive oil, butter, coconut oil) got rid of seed oils. I got rid of grains, upped my protein. My god it has been exactly 18 days. I’ve lost almost 13 pounds. My aches and pains are disappearing daily, I have a ton of energy ( because I don’t hurt). Best of all, I quit snoring. Drs. Have wanted to send me to sleep studies, hollered about getting the weight off....come to find out, I was obviously allergic to something I was eating that cause my airway to be inflamed.
Keto sure is a good elimination diet...perhaps people have food allergies like me without knowing it that is causing them other problems.
I can’t tell you how good I feel in this short amount of time. I wished I found this years ago. I’m 58 and look forward to the last part of my life to be more healthy than I was basically my entire adult life with yo-yo dieting and discouragement.
Little Rock Arkansas needs you!
It’s nice you have these short videos
.. 👍 Great video Doc. 😷
Very helpful and knowledgeable topic!!
Hi from Connecticut.
Thank you 🙌
i do 16-8 IF and O.M.A.D so one meal a day after 16hr fast meal consists of 1200-1300 cals--75% fat 20% proteins and 5% carb and so far that has netted me alot of weight loss and a GKI of 3.0
2019 I started Atkins. I lost 60 lbs. I went keto/carnavore and gained 10 lbs. Atkins worked until I started adding back the food I stopped eating.
See you in Terre Haute. So excited!!
Thank you Dr. Westman for confirmation that I am on the right track. I don’t do fat bomb or frequent snack. We eat chicken, eggs and pork. They are more cost effective for us. As far as veggies are concerned we buy cabbages, cucumbers…
BEEF ?
i verry much like watching your channel, iv lost lot of weight with keto ,thanks for all u do
Thanks for the message John 😊
Perfect. I can do this. 👍 94kg today June 1st. Let's see where I am December 1st 2020? Will update then hopefully. Thanks Dr Westman for keeping it simple.
Good luck Jenny, I started June 1st too!
Lori Wade Thanks for the comment and wishing you success also. I’m not gonna say it’s a quick fix for me, painfully slow actually. Anyhow, no matter how slow, it’s going down 👌 All the best.
Keto on 3 months from 101 kg down to 76 kg and after 30 years i finally met my clavicle and i named him babush lablab(love-love) 😂😂
Ram Traza - Haha, I know, I can see mine now, too. It’s been awhile!
I just met my hip bone after 15 years. I can actually put my hand on my hip.
