KenDBerryMD I need your help, there is something I need your opinion on that my doctor won’t be able to help me with, it’s rather personal.. I was wondering if I could get in contact with you somehow. It’s about whether or not the ketogenic diet is suitable for me considering my very special circumstances. Thank you doctor Berry

[@dommccaffry3802]

Any thoughts on depression and constipation on keto diet ? And keto flu ?

[@charlieclark2609]

I cant recall if it's in this video or not, and I cant look back right now. But you said that we dont need to track macros or anything and just eat as much fat as we can. Wouldnt that be a bad thing, and make it to where we would be burning dietary fat instead of body fat ?

[@montiescreations]

Dr If I do IF I feel like I just want to binge eat in my eating window... how long does it take your body to adjust to that? I am a type 2 diabetic... 2nd day on IF i am hungry before my eating window and I only start with a 12/12 to begin with

[@sallyherman3182]

You might want to Try a pat of grass fed butter in your tea or coffee in the morning and you will not be hungry for a long time. At least I’m not. If I eat in the morning I’m starving all day long.

I started 23 weeks ago and I am down 75 pounds. All because I watched your skin tag video, which led me to eating Ketogenic. My whole family is doing it with great results. Blood pressure way down, off some high blood pressure meds, joint pain gone, more active, not hungry all the time plus other added benefits for a 53 year old man.

[@ShabamGram]

YES!!! This is how I lost 70 pounds, no macros, no crazy rules...I just ate lots more fat, and under 20 carbs and it worked! Finally, some common sense information. THANK YOU!!!

[@nutella5936]

I tried the Keto diet a few months ago and had such bad keto flu that it really scared me. I really want to loose weight and I am considering simply starting a low carb diet, gently and gradually. That should work, right? Thank you for your comment, you are an inspiration!

[@ShabamGram]

To avoid the Keto Flu I drink PowerAde Zero...the problem is your electrolytes get depleted because Ketosis pulls off excess fluid. Unless you replenish those electrolytes then you're going to get the keto flu. That's why Keto says to salt your food well. You can do low carb if that is more your comfort zone, but you won't see results as quickly and you won't reap some of the other health benefits that being in ketosis brings. However, low carb is still healthier than the SAD and if that is the path you need to take, then no one is judging you. Our bodies are all different and something that works for someone may not work for us (I was a raw vegan for 2 years before finding KETO and my weight NEVER budged and my triglycerides were through the roof!!) Just remember that consistency is key, not perfection. Good luck!

[@nutella5936]

Thank you very much for your kind reply! I will look into PowerAde zero and will give keto another try. Thank you!

[@garyschneider7838]

Yes...make sure you take anywhere from 3 to 6 grams of Celtic salt or Himalayan salt per day.....That is half a teaspoon to a full teaspoon every day...

[@lizhindley]

URSTANDINGONMYTOES Thanks for sharing your story. It is interesting you were raw vegan for 2 years and never lost weight. Were you predominantly fruit raw vegan, HCLF or eat loads of greens? I did the raw vegan thing for awhile and my candida was out of control and I was constantly eating. My weight didn't change a whole lot but I did have some energy. I have switched to Keto and the weight is starting to fall off...I have lost 4 kgs in a month. I try and keep to around the 20 gram but sometimes go to 30 grams of carbs. It's a real mind switch after raw vegan lol

I have lost 16 pounds and 4 inches off my waist. I have always worked out as much as I could and thought I ate healthy. I have struggled my whole life with weight and tried everything! Nothing ever worked before, this has been incredible. I can't find a Dr that wants to help, they just give me more and more meds. It's nice that there is a Dr that wants to help people.

Well I am down 100 lbs now and it took over a year with the last 8 months on keto. Started at 280 lbs and after I plateaued at about 240 lbs I went on keto. So 40 lbs just trying and then keto took me to 180 lbs where I am now. I should also say I do intermittent fasting every day at least 18 hours and I do the apple cider vinegar thing too.

[@kevinroberts9580]

I cheat every few days a little bit. But over the past two and a half months I have lost 38 pounds on the keto diet from listening to you. Got 20 more to go. I was a plumber for 30 years but I have a bad leg from an injury when I was young and I can't work anymore. And I gained about 60 pounds because I don't walk around very well and have neuropathy from diabetes from the knees down. After I lose another 20 I'm going to start trying to work out again. Finding your videos has changed my life. I started a ketogenic diet at 285 lbs. I am at 247 now. By the way I'm 6'5" tall and a 30 yr. Diabetic . Thank you dr. Berry

M B diabetes runs in my mother's side of the family everywhere. And of course I look like my mother's side of the family. Type 1 diabetes is a lifelong sentence.

[@MB-kn5hz]

Kevin Roberts haha, no heroism here; just a positive attitude and God helping me through it. Seriously, I wish I would have found keto years ago myself. Still a newbie, but I already see the benefits. It just makes me want to do better as a diabetic and it helps keeping up with my 4 kiddos. Stay strong and anything is possible!

No dieting, diets don't work. Lots of veggies with cheese, fatty meats, no sugars, low carbs.

Man alive, sure wish I could find a Dr. Berry clone where I live. I'm 75 and what he preaches is the way doctors used to be, for the most part. And then sometime in the late 70's possibly the 80's, more and more doctors began wanting to treat with drugs instead of leading a common-sense lifestyle. I am so impressed that he chooses to buck the current "doctoring" system. Very well done, Dr. Berry.

I’m a planner and I always over prepare, but this time I just wanted to start immediately. Do I did! Your videos and Dr. Berg’s videos have literally changed my life and my husband’s life! I’m down 20 pounds in less than two weeks. Depression is gone. Sleeping better. Much less pain. Loads of energy and my mood is great! I’ve been a lifelong carb addict.

I started intermittent fasting and cutting the carbs back on July 5th of this year. I started out weighing 275 lbs. and so far I'm down to 216 lbs. Thankfully, I never got rid of my old pants and shirts. Otherwise, the cost of buying new ones may have discouraged me from continuing on. In fact, that was probably one of my main incentives to keep going. So I can personally confirm that this change in lifestyle really works. Along with a lifestyle, I also consider it a tool. I now know exactly HOW to control my weight. There's no more mystery ;)

Keto for 5 months. Have lost 108 pounds and 10 inches in waist size so far. Started 16 hour IF daily about 2 months ago. Glucose level went from 190 fasted to 79-105 fasted. I've only seen 105 twice and both times were upon waking, the rest of the day was normal. I do track all meals and Macros now. My only problem has been getting enough fat. I'm not afraid of fat anymore but I still have a hard time Hitting the fat macro. I can't satan anything in my coffee so Bulletproof coffee is not an option. I guess I'll have to start making more peanutbutter cup fat bombs or find another source. Enjoyed this video so I subb'd to your channel. Thanks Doc. Berry.

Dennis Steele Do you count macros or calories?

[@RockofAgesTheBand]

I started by only counting Carbs and I was very diligent to never go over 20 carbs per day. I did that for about 3 months and lost a Lot of weight. I then downloaded The free version of My Fitness pal app ( I still enter everything I eat ,and all exercise I do ) and I started watching all the macros including calories and exercise (mostly walking). The thing about cutting carbs is , it's very easy to keep the calories down. I average about 1200 - 1500 calories a day and have a pretty physical job and am now dropping about 2-4 pounds per week.

[@dorianpapanikolopoulos47]

Dennis Steele That's great! I just started Jan 19th and I've dropped 22lbs, but I think I should start tracking soon. I never eat over 16net carbs a day. I would like to start incorporating intermittent fasting but I'm trying to figure out what's the best meal to break a fast.

[@alwaysmakensomtin1251]

Very inspirational. Phenomenal progress, did you acquire any new tastes?

[@masscarol1]

I am 77 and lost 8 lbs on this life style change and intermittent fasting. I feel so good. Lost the puffy face ,have more energy and am never hungry. My arthritis is gone too.Only 8 weeks but I will continue.

[@kathynoggles637]

Carol Derry , Great job, I started and on my 4th week with 16 hour fasting only down 6 pounds but feeling good and not hungry. I am almost 73 and hoping this will help my joints which get a little stiff at times. So glad to here this works for us after 70’s, just wish I would have stated 20 years ago! Kathy Noggles

[@moniquewilliams3575]

Thank you so much for the info. I started intermittent fasting in March and I just incorporated keto into that two weeks ago. I'm doing it for both the health benefits and weight loss and it feels right. So when you talked about it being our natural/original way of eating that made so much sense. Thank you again for spreading the knowledge/power.

[@TheRealRealOK]

You’ve helped with the stress I felt starting Keto, given my perfectionist tendencies (which leads into anxiety). I am making a good transition to keto for my health, as weight loss isn’t a goal of mine. I am off all meds after 20+ years of taking antidepressants, pain meds, etc. Thank you! (Subbed again. I thought I was already subbed, but KZbin is wonky.)

[@gratefulMOMent]

O K I totally love how he explains what to do if I mess up. It's great! I'm one to get all sad and want to binge or give up!

[@dayday8332]

This is amazing! I stumbled on intermittent fasting a few weeks ago. Now I am adding Keto. I have dropped a size in two weeks with no hunger and I feel great. I am going to keep going with this forever because I finally feel good and my health seems to be improving every day. So grateful to you for this information. I found Doctor Berg as well. Thank you for putting this out there.

[@shainareynolds3825]

I too am a family physician x 18 yrs now and have been doing weight watchers and jenny Craig off and on since college. You are absolutely right about gaining weight back if any slacking off happens with those diets or exercise (6 days a week for a freakin hour!-who has time for that when you have kids and a LIFE?). I have become a runner over the last 7 years doing about 13 half marathons and you would think I’d be a stick by now but oh no, the lowest weight I got by doing all that was mid 170s. I started reading and doing my own research this year about ketogenic diets and I am totally on board with you. I LOVE the way you talk in your videos-I’m not a hoity-toity doc either-keep it real with no BS. I still consider myself a Keto intermittent fasting beginner bc I’ve only been doing it for a couple mos now and I’m still tweaking stuff and though I’ve not lost a ton of weight, (have lost some) I feel like a ROCKSTAR! By watching your videos and a few other Keto gurus on you tube I’ve found a few things I’ve been doing that still spike that damn insulin. (Who knew that sniffing or tasting something sweet even though it’s not sugar, could do it? Not me till I watched that video of yours. The A-HA! Moment!). Thanks so much for doing these videos and educating the masses. I’ve shared your name/videos with a number of family and friends and I hope they get their own A-HA moment too. Common sense. This is total common sense. 👍🏻

[@JewishKeto]

A co worker once asked me “so what diet are you on?” So with a smile I said “oh this isn’t a diet per say.. it’s a lifestyle change… but I am on keto”

[@marcdaigle7907]

I so appreciate your common sense! I am a beginner and was so overwhelmed until I found you. Please continue you videos. Love love love you! Linda from Canada

[@wendyy2473]

Another great video. I’ve stopped counting everything and now eat until I’m full. When my husband and I started Keto, I didn’t want to do anything I wouldn’t do forever. Macro counting is NOT something I want to do forever! We feel better than we have in years! Thank you for being so inspiring!

[@guibox3]

As I drop the weight and don't need as many macro calories, I'll probably do this. However, when I have to eat 2000 calories, I'm going to be planning what I'm eating and recording everything. When people stall, others on keto say, 'You need to up your calories'. Then others say like you, 'Dont' worry about counting'. Well, you can't have it both ways! Either you have a minimum you need to eat or you don't. I will err on the side of making sure my caloric intake and macros are up to snuff. Maybe that will change 2-3 months down the road. Heading into my 3rd week of keto and I'm not going to sluff off now.

[@freetoexplore5669]

We had to donate all our full food cabinets to food bank in order to Go Keto and not be tempted. Best decision we ever made, lost 25 pounds in 2 months, have plateued but this is normal. GO Keto.

Now it’s levelling out and honestly I have never felt so good. No bloating, no running to the toilet after a meal, no sleepless nights (I sleep like a rock) I have lost 12 pounds, my skin is clearing up, and what I eat is the most tasty things I have had in years. I thought I would fell depraviert of all the delicious carbs I now couldn’t eat, but I have no cravings. It’s like me and my body is getting to know each other again. Thanks.

[@michaeljechon6139]

My best friends from childhood are Croatian. They would often invite me over for dinner. Dinner consisted of unbreaded pork chops and steak with either cucumber salad or shredded cabbage with oil and vinegar. Their dad, Milan, would use the salt shaker on chicken, pork, and steak that was fried in lard , paprika, and garlic. Copious amounts of salt he would use on the meat. He's never had heart trouble. Never obese. Early proof that KETO is the real deal.

[@TAS1965]

I’ve been wanting to try Keto for months but with all the info out there I was so confused. Your videos helped me understand it so I finally jumped in 2 days ago and it’s not been hard at all. Thank you!

There is no off switch with carbs. Your brain will crave more and more until you feel like you're going to explode. It's difficult to overeat fat heavy foods from my experience.

[@cinnamongirl3070]

Grains, sugar, fruit, even some sweet veggies, are so, so easy to overeat. I have done way better since removing them from my life.

Love your videos. I have been on there to diet for 4 months. I have lost 50lbs so far. I feel fantastic, I have come off 3 medications for high blood pressure and seizures, I was able to drop diabetes in it's tract. I did not have to start diabetic medication because I refused and told my doctor to give me three months. My doctor told me not to do the keto diet. She stayed how dangerous it was. So I did not do it sooner. I am a nurse and trusted her opinion. That was last October. Feb of this year she told me I was a diabetic and had to go on medication. That forced me to make a change. I started the Keto diet slowly in March I quickly noticed changes then went all in May. I love it and the changes have been amazing. I no longer use that doctor and as a nurse have changed my opinion on a lot of things i once believed.

The pallet being retrainable is so true. I never would have believed it myself before keto though. Take coffee for example. Before keto I had to have sugar in my coffee, loads of sugar. I greatly disliked the taste of straight coffee, I pulled such faces when trying it. Now, after 6mo on keto, I enjoy my coffee straight, though I like it even better with a tablespoon of heavy whipping cream.

[@Bennie84]

Been on keto diet since August 2019 and lost two stone, on target for another two stone April 2020. I cut out carbs and sugar from the beginning and never feel hungry! Arthritis has eased up, depression gone. I love fasting from 8 pm at night to 4 pm next day every day and feel really good. The best thing is that I don't feel I need to eat masses of food because the keto diet fills me up enough. Really great videos packed full of useful information. Can't stop telling my friends about it!

[@emy3915]

He just answered the biggest question I had since I started doing ketogenic. I've been asking this question in every comment and no one bothered to answer. I asked if I can do keto forever cuz I'm liking the feeling, I'm feeling more energetic and light compared to when I was consuming carbs that I was always tired and felt heavy, it's even hard to climb a stair. Now he just said, "it shouldn't be ketogenic diet cuz it's not a diet, it should be called ketogenic lifestyle cuz this is how human being are suppose to eat". Very well said.

[@paulzaky3121]

I’ve lost 137 lbs. this way 5 years ago over 1 year. Then when I reached my goal I gained back 60lbs. in 4 years. I decided to go back to eating this way and I’ve lost 50lbs. so far over the last 3 months. It’s so much easier than you’d think. I do give myself a treat of honey once or twice a week. But, my sugar is running about 75-90 and it was running about 150-190. My blood pressure was running 185/110 and is now around 117/75. My heart rate dropped from 85bpm at rest to 69bpm. I’ve got more energy. (And guys, your junk gets bigger as the fat isn’t covering it up) :) Y’all have a great day, God bless, and good luck!!!

As a home baker my home is full of every sweet imaginable and because I bake for a living I can’t get rid of it. Instead, I do the next best thing and every sweet that calls to me, I put out of reach. To get to the caramel and chocolates, I have to pull out the ladder and get into the very top of the cabinet. I can obviously still get it BUT it takes me a little longer to reach and the more time I have between the urge to eat something and actually putting it in my mouth, the more time there is to talk myself out of it by considering the benefits of staying on track with keto.

Just think of the baking supplies as tools of the trade and condition yourself to think of them as being inedible assets... like a bank teller with cash. Having said that, I can't imagine a baker, or any cook for that matter, not being able to taste their baked goods at least for the sake of quality control.

[@CarolBlaneyPhD]

I loved the story towards end of this video, where ancient humans would find honey and eat as much as they could, then wake up from their 'sugar stupor' days later, get up, and continue the keto lifestyle. Great illustration. helpful tip: for those seeking benefits from hi-carb but nutrient dense foods luch as blueberries: just eat IN SEASON and local, because the body digests local foods (in tune with local season, sun, the weather that your body is exposed to) more efficiently. And only eat a handful, diluted with water or other foods so as not to cause that dreaded sugar spike. This concept is fairly new in western medicine views, but commonly understood in eastern medicine.
