Dr. Berg, you have changed my life! It's not even about the weight (from 190 lbs to 130lbs), I am no longer obsessed with food, I have insane amounts of energy, I sleep better, my mind is clear, I no longer need anxiety medication, I look like I'm in my late 20s (I'll be 43 this year)and I feel proud of myself and my new lifestyle (over a year now)! I am sharing your videos with everyone! Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 (I haven't yet done strictly healthy keto, but I do limit the amount of carbs I eat. I mostly fast between 16-18 hours every day with a 24 hour fast every week or two...i can't imagine how much improvements I will see once I do healthy keto!

[@lizzieb6311]

Way to go! Isn’t is incredible the absolute change in every aspect of your life? I can feel in your comment how positive your life is after discovering the Keto way of nourishing your body. My oncologist recommended Keto 2 years ago to help me with the 28 lbs of fat I gained around my midsection following radical hysterectomy and immediate menopause following cancer surgery… it worked and like you I feel like I’m 30 years old again (I’m 58) and am constantly active and sleep a deep and restorative sleep. We are Blessed to have found Dr. Berg and the life changing information he shares with us. 🙏♥

This has changed my life. 43 year old now. I have been hospitalised with treatment resistant, severe clinical depression since my early 20s. Had ECT treatment as in in patient on a psyche ward for 3 months. Didn't work. I have yo-yo'd in my weight due to eating my feelings & drinking excessively and anti-psychotic meds that defined my life. Calorie counting worked to a point... but old habits soon creep back in. Weight went down.. depression kicked in...weight went up. Rinse. Repeat. I have gone from 400 lbs down to 190 lbs up to 370 lbs 3 times since 2018. This was my last chance... this year, then I was going to give up. Everyrhing. I was done. Jan 10th... 361 lbs. On 3 prescription meds for depression, anxiety, and mynheart. Pre-diabetic. July 19th... 235 lbs (on the way to 190). No meds. I walk every day. 6 to 12 g carbs max. OMAD. Apple Cider Vinegar... I use Saunas... I use electrolytes... I use BVitamins, DVitamins I use milk thistle, riboflavin etc etc... but I eat clean keto. Salmon, eggs, chicken, chia, cottage cheese, brocolli, asparagus And now... No meds. Blood Sugar avg is 4.5. No depression. No anxiety. I sleep 7 hours and wake gladly at 5.00am I have saved my life and enhanced it in ways I never thought I would. I should and would have been dead. I'm thinking of working again. This isn't a miracle but feels like one. Calorie counting isn't enough. Slimming world is a disgrace... I've taken my time to understand and research all the processes and science behind the ketoenic lifestyle... the value of acetic acid and fasting. How vitally important sleep is. This all starts and ends in your mind. Everything else happens secondarily. Dr Berg. I thank you for your guidance. Also equally Thomas deLauer and James Smith for talking sense. This stuff works. If you meet these guys halfway...and put in the work, you can save your life. Good luck to you all. (apologies for the meandering ramble, but this is only youtube, and it's a brain dump. I am usually more eloquent than this). Again bless you all.

Minor observation. Constant and insatiable hunger (leading to obesity) is such a western thing it’s weird to read about lol. Where I’m originally from there is an abundance of grain/legumes and starch makes up the vast majority of diet and obesity (least of all morbid) is practically unheard of. It’s not fat/ketosis or carbs, it’s the lack of any fulfilment beyond the physical that leads to insatiable hunger (and other forms of materialism).

[@Useruseruseruser77893]

I am writing to you from Greece and you have changed my life. I've never been overweight, but I've gained a few extra pounds over the last decade, which I'm slowly losing. But what I did not expect is the miracle that intermittent fasting brought to the biggest problem that had been tormenting me for over 20 years or so. The very frequent (almost daily) headaches. With the omad method, which I have been following for some time, it has decreased drastically. No doctor could find the cause. No doctor thought that my insulin and glucose levels might be too high. Doctors were loading me with various pills, while there is such a simple solution for our health. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤

[@margaretgibbs1007]

My headaches stopped also, amazing and unexpected. Amongst many other health benefits. My headaches stopped due to change of diet (LCHF), not time restricted eating - which I started unintentionally several months later.

[@Useruseruseruser77893]

@@margaretgibbs1007 That's great. I'm glad it helped you. I know that if I had put even more weight on the keto diet, my results would have been even better and faster. Anyway, I noticed a big difference. I reduced a lot of sweets, but did not eliminate them completely. Maybe I'll get around to it sometime. But omad taught me to break the bad habit of emotional eating. In recent years, I've always had a craving for chocolate and other unhealthy snacks like potato chips, etc. At least I don't have space for that now, although I sometimes treat myself to a piece of chocolate at the end of a meal. It's great to get rid of bad habits and watch how positively things suddenly change.

I started to get worried because I thought I was doing something wrong. after doing some research, I discovered that I was actually on a Keto diet, without knowing it. I am now fascinated and consuming all the information I can about this diet. I am flabbergasted at the amount of weight I have lost in such this short period of time.

My friends laugh at me doing keto. I already lost 35 lbs since March 2023. It has been 4 months then. Both of my friends are not thin and they have big mid sections. I adviced them to do this diet, and still bugged off the idea. They are still laughing and insisted that keto is not for everyone. One of my friends did a blood test recently. He is now Prediabetic, 6.4 on his A1C, also high uric acid, cholesterol. I adviced again, they shrugged off the idea. The other friend, has heart disease. This day, they still insist that keto diet is not universal. They laugh at my progress. Now I focus on my progress and just let them be. I dont want to laugh at them or ridicule even. I just pity deep inside. Dr. BERG, I really admire your content here on KZbin. Thank you for this! Because of you, I am doing amazing progress and also on the safe side. Cheers

Overall, I’m extremely happy that I started this journey, and am accomplishing what I set out to do in the beginning, which was to do a hard reset on my life.

So, here I am doung keto, seeing if that works to get me down

[@lil_Feiii]

@@Mary-lj2uu sadly, with all the birthdays and vacations I’ve been on, I’ve stopped the keto diet but I started again yesterday. I did it for 2 weeks straight and lost 9 pounds. I recommend for you to add in one 24 hour fast each week and going in a calorie deficit, that will definitely help you in losing weight. After about a week and a half, losing weight will definitely slow down but don’t worry, it’s still working because it’s getting at your fat storages and not just the water weight so keep doing it, being keto was one of the best things I have done to lose weight, it made me feel so much better and a lot less bloated, but I would also throw in a small cheat meal once every 2 weeks so you don’t torture yourself 😅 keep up your good work!

@@rajeevarora4543 yes, normally I fast once a week, mostly on Sundays, sometimes Mondays. Other days I do 17/7, I fast 17 hours and eat 7 hours of the day but I only eat when I am hungry. And the food I eat is only keto food, and there are keto alternatives too, so I sometimes have a keto sandwich with keto bread buns.

See below why I need to check into Dr Berg's Videos on a regular basis. Back in February 2023 i was 185 Kg I watched Your videos and finally decided to give it a go. Its now July 14 and just weighed in at 152.4 Kg. Everything in this video is going on in my life now. The main battle I have had lately is that my weight loss has slowed but after watching this i realised my average 1 Kg a week is really good. I'm not walking yet as i have a tricky knee but the energy levels are thru the roof. Typically I now eat 2 times a day and the hunger signals are now very weak. A drink of water will put them to sleep for over an hour and this never happened before. When i do this i'm get a mental boost because I know that is when i'm burning fat. Doctor took me off my Diabetes meds as i showed him an average of 6,0. Surprisingly cholesterol is really good 4.6 last week.

Awesome 👏

I’m feeling all these symptoms 100% I was stunned today, I had to stop and think why is the lupus on my scalp not inflamed ? Of course I thought right away it’s the diet , I have outweighed all the positive benefits of keto diet and it’s been 8 months now and I’m loving I’m not hungry , my mind has days where it’s clear etc, and my memory can be good, I have less sleep , but i is have more energy through the day, and I am more patient with everyone including my pets too. I’m really enjoying the benefits of ketosis and I hope it will be my ultimate change of lifestyle .

I might fall asleep about 10pm but wake up at 12am and find it hard to fall asleep until maybe 2 am and then I’m awake from 6 am . What is doing this ? No carbs ? Too much coffee during the day ?

when i informed one of my CHF clients that Keto is the best thing for the heart, he hit the pause button; he was a strict vegan. albeit it he was, his heart was still failing. when i attempted to inform him that all those grains, nightshades, fruits were his Achilles heel, he seriously considered, terminating my service. fast-forward - he is slowly, ...very slowly transitioning to full-blown Keto. his CHF symptoms are rapidly subsiding; i.e., he has more energy, he is not out-of-breath climbing stairs, ect... thank you Doc for your PROFOUND, and i UNDERSCORE, your SIGNIFICANT, optimal health contributions; the Godsend. 🙏

Thank you Dr Eric. Went on keto 4 months ago and was peeing like a horse for the first few weeks! I love spinach and salads anyway, so I never had keto flu. I went all in from the start with 16:8 fast which I continue to this day. Keto is now a way of life rather than a diet. I've lost almost 60lbs and my waist has gone from almost 40 inches, back to my younger 34 inches. I'm 67, never been on meds and always felt quite fit. However, I feel fitter than I have ever been and my mood is mostly super composed - neither hyper up or hyper down, which happened on occasions in the past. I wish I went on keto 30 years ago.

[@joethebro1999]

SPOT ON. Keto changed it all. I was 280 at one point and now I'm 235. Living off eggs, ground meats, cheese and veggies. Cutting sugar was so hard and of course I fold. It's okay to eat more carbs than you should one time. But don't let it be a reason to stop the diet. Just start again instead. SO much of it is mental. I was eating insanely poorly. It was bad. Nightly heartburn. Bloated stomach and face 24/7. Extreme binging. Day 2 of Keto I got those flu symptoms sooooo bad. Spent all night crying and throwing up. More emotionally crying because wanting to look thinner is a struggle if you've been big for years. Realizing it might be successful this time around is enlightening. I'm disabled and realized if I want less weight for my bad legs to carry, got to lose the weight. Quit vaping, started keto, and the gym 3 times a week. Consistency truly key. So yeah, if you see this doc thanks for putting out all this accurate information that clearly inspires so many to be better versions of themselves. I hope everyone has nothing but success in losing weight this way!

[@JohnBowl14690]

Great video. I am constantly debating whether intermittant fasting or ketogenic diet is better. I think 24 hour fasting is much easier to actually do. It's more straight forward and you are more sure that you are not cheating if all you're consuming is water. But I love it when my body is in ketosis. It takes discipline, but it's highly effective. I think either or both are great as long as you eat clean.

[@ryutorakai1933]

I've been on clean keto for only 6 days, and I feel so different! It is really amazing, next week I will start exercising every day. I am on a super low carb keto. So I had to adjust, my energy levels are defiantly rising!

[@JackPitmanNica]

Dr Berg has helped me understand my body much better. Most of my life; I've been very thin and rarely get hungry. In fact for me, the problem is actually eating in the first place. This was always a very confusing experience for me, because most people I know have to watch their appetites because they can eat and eat and eat. I just can't do that! When I go to a restaurant, I can only eat half of the meal, I save the rest for another time, etc. I never understood why until I found Dr. Berg's videos. See, my dad died when I was a child and my mom had to work all the time; so I basically fed myself. So, growing up, I ate very rarely; because honestly I was much more interested in video games. There was a period of time, I would wake up and just eat bacon and eggs. Looking back; it makes a lot of sense that I wasn't hungry - I must have been in ketosis. It wasn't something wrong with my body - it was the fact that since being a kid; I ate few carbs, and rarely ate 3 meals a day. So, I must not have felt hungry because I was not consuming enough carbs to be hungry like other people. Nowadays I've confirmed this because, if I wake up and start eating carb-heavy food straight away; then I get much more hungry and I can eat a lot of carbs throughout the day. But its kinda funny how to become hungry; one has to eat...

[@vadymvv]

In my case I am also a very thin, but always hungry and eat at least 3 times per day. Have some insulin resistance, and I feel like if I'm start this keto thing I would die because I have no visual fats.

[@JackPitmanNica]

Even a super thing person has fat available for the body to burn, I wouldn't worry about it. Eating carbs is a life of suffering. Once you get off them, you realize that they were causing most of your stomach and bathroom problems. Personally when I don't eat carbs like bread and rice and sugar, I have almost no problems. That in itself is quite motivating to be honest... having pains in the bathroom sucks!@@vadymvv

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:13 📊 Traditional ketone tests like urine and breath tests are not very accurate for tracking ketosis. 01:37 🥗 Symptoms like keto flu, fatigue, and rash may occur during transition into ketosis, but can be mitigated through proper nutrition. 03:12 ⚖️ Initial weight loss on keto is largely due to water weight, and sustainable fat loss is around 1-2 pounds per week. 05:44 🔋 Ketosis leads to increased energy levels as fat offers more calories per gram than carbs. 10:05 🍽️ Loss of appetite is the best indicator of being in ketosis, as your body starts utilizing stored fat as energy.

It is so important for us to keep in mind that sugar causes us to hold onto water. We only credit salt with holding water. The fact that we have 3 grams of water per gram of sugar stored on our body is vital info. If I eat an extra 2 or 3 grams of sugar everyday (so 23 grams of carb), although I may be able to remain in ketosis, if my body doesn't need them, I end up storing 9 grams of water because the sugar will be stored! That's a total of 12 grams storage each day. In one month, I'd gain a pound. These are the details we don't know that allow us to undo our success.

Live in the UK and only being 43 and 6ft 4 I'm about a stone over my ideal weight so not massively over and it only shows a bit on my belly. This is due to years of a high carb diet, coca cola daily can, my weakness and crisps. Cup of tea 3 or 4 times a day with sugar. I thought my diet wasn't that bad as i was eating fruits and veg. Then most days after toast and jam in the morning I would then eat lunch at 12 which would be a tuna sarnie, white bread, salad cream and crisps and a coke. I would then crash and need a 20 minute nap. Same in the evening after dinner. Started Keto eating omelette with Jamón in the morning and would feel full till dinner. Then something like Rib Rye and broccoli for dinner. Replaced all fizzy drinks with water or warm lemon water. 7 days so far and yes I had a small crash and yes i get the sugar cravings but have powered through and i can't believe the benefits im already feeling. Mentally more alert, no more naps or feeling sleepy from sugar crashes and energy leading to multiple walks which i never did before. Also belly fat is already started to shed. Can only be good! Thank you.

Since going ketovoire, I have experienced all of these 9 signs. The ones that really stand out to me, is the crazy amount of energy I have now, no pain anywhere in my body, no longer have gut issues, and the biggy: My depression and anxiety has just vanished! I feel happy all the time. It has been the greatest blessing in my life!!! I would encourage anyone to try it, (keto), just for 30 days. It has been amazing. I wish I had discovered this diet sooner. But it takes things to get really bad, before you find really good. Thank you, Dr. Berg, for spreading the word. ❤
