Being fat adapted feels so good and does give me freedom with food. The problem is that once I do indulge in anything made with chocolate I’m off and running again. Sugar and white flour are both terribly addictive! In any case, your videos give me the motivation to make the changes that will bring about better health (again). Low carb and fasting are the answer to a lifetime struggle with food addiction. Thank you Dr. Becky!

[@wakeupcall2665]

I have been keto since May 23 now, lost about 25kg and am now at 97kg at 1.80m, 13kg to go. I feel awesome! I did buy a Lindt 85% chocolate the other day. Before I would destroy it in seconds, now I had 4 pieces as a treat after dinner (doing IF with OMAD) and it tasted sooooo good, not bitter at all, and I really enjoyed it. But I don’t crave it anymore. As a treat great, but that’s it. Low carb/keto/carnivore and IF is so fundamentally liberating!

[@joem5639]

Been doing keto for over 7 years now. Took about 2 weeks to become fat adapted. I use to feel sluggish in the morning and had to drag myself out of bed. Then one day (even to this day) when I wake up in the morning I am ready to pop out of bed. It’s a great feeling.

[@beckygillaspy]

My husband and I often comment about the fact that we no longer need an alarm clock to get out of bed. Before low-carb/keto, we used one daily.

I first watched this video three months ago, at the beginning of yet another round of doing keto. How long would it last this time? I've been on and off keto so many times I felt like an expert in something I always failed to succeed with. But the words "don't stop before the magic happens" really stuck in my mind. I realized the problem was I was always giving up too soon. So I dug my heels in and now I've lost almost 40 pounds and the scale continues to go down every week as I get closer and closer to my goal. I have all the signs of fat adaptation. I'm 47 years old and having an easier time losing weight then I did when I was 24!

[@beckygillaspy]

That's wonderful, Barbra! Congratulations!

[@AsianPoshDorene]

I’m a hybrid! I run (literally…I RUN 🏃‍♀️) on both glucose & fat. Was strict keto for 1.5 years doing IF 20:4 OMAD following Dr Jason Fungs method. Was not overweight but was supporting hubs who was diagnosed with diabetes. He lost 60 pounds and reversed his diabetes! :) BUT…. I developed female hormonal issues. I went through a tough time in 2020 and had surgery for fibroids I never had before going Keto. Was having heavy periods for almost a full year Granted I was in my late 40s and lots was happening! Now at 53 I’ve added oatmeal & some fruit before my running & weights & eat low carb the rest of the day. I’ve reduced my fasting as well. Just my own experience but I do believe the low carb/keto is a terrific way to live. You & your hubs vids helped us tremendously!!!! Two Fit Docs! ❤️

[@trifivegarage8683]

Thank you for helping others see the light! I've been eating this way low carb for 8 years. And I can tell you every time I've went back to eating higher carb foods. My energy level and joints suffer. As soon as I go back to eating a low carb higher fat diet. My energy and overall health improves. I will eat this way for the rest of my life. Because it works for me!

I happily accept the challenge Dr B! I am so glad that I have found your channel. You bring a calm, intellectual and professional demeanor in your videos. Really informative! regards from Indonesia 🇮🇩

[@EthanE3]

I started at 5 to 6 grams of carbs per day then settled on anything less than 20g. You want some serious weight loss? Drop thos carbs to 5 like i did. I never went hungry and ate tons of food but lost 50 pounds in 5 months. 207lbs to 157 lbs. Its crazy considering how much steak eggs and butter i ate but without high insulin you will not store fat. There was definite fine tuning of electrolytes during the keto flu phase but mostly it is adding salt or taking a magnesium/potassium supplement while you transition. I feel FANTASTIC nowadays

[@KM-vf4oi]

Have you reintroduced more carbs into your diet? If so did you gain some of the weight back?

[@EthanE3]

@@KM-vf4oi i did once i hit goal weight. I am less strict now that i am healthy, my body can handle a little carbs. I just know that they will cause a blood sugar dive and i may have cravings later. I ignore the cravings or answer them with a 0 carb high fat snack if they are too strong. Mostly i only eat at noon and five so carbs at any meal will be taken care of during my fast.

[@gracegirl3]

I also like to make my own electrolyte drink with water, acv, pink Himalayan salt, a little cinnamon, a little fresh squeezed lemon juice and a little coconut water to sweeten it all. Put in a glass bottle and shake well and sip throughout the day. Very helpful! Lots of variations in "recipe" Even add sprinkle cayenne or fresh grated ginger. Good for gut health 👍

[@doughooks7411]

We’re on it, Dr. B. Been doing keto and IF for about six months now and feel great! We mainly do OMAD every day and then do a prolonged water fast of at least 3-5 days every month. I did a 10-day water fast in January and a 7-day in April. Sometimes we open the window a little to two hours or even four hours just for some variety and flexibility. Now I could not even imagine having a six or eight hour eating window, as that is way too much for me. The energy and mental clarity while living this lifestyle is amazing, and I don’t see ever going back to the old way when considering the health benefits and ease of this. Challenge accepted! For life! Thanks Dr. B!

[@seeingyouontube]

Thanks for the solid encouragement. I used to watch you and your husband back in 2019 when I first discovered keto and IF. I’ve gained some weight and lost my motivation during C-time. Now, I’m back trying again. I’ve already clocked in more than a month of low carb and IF from 13-48 hours. I’ve felt some relief but a few holiday interruptions may have steered me off course. I’m curious how many carbs I can tolerate bc I’m surely not as strict as I was in 2019. I’m trying more vegetarian foods, which although avoiding wheat flour and rice tend to add carbs in beans and occasionally potatoes. I’m hoping the fasting will tamper the effects of the carbs. Here’s to all those who work to stay well in the body we’ve been given!

[@TheJayrusbeerus]

Glad you're back! I've had a great start, been in Ketosis for nearly two weeks. Moving in on 10 pounds lost, and feeling much more energetic. Your videos have helped spur me on!

You're correct Dr Becky. It does take time to become fat-adapted. I'm nearly 69 yrs old and have been on low carb/high fat/med protein foods since end of January 2022. I've lost weight and inches and measure my progress by trying on smaller sized favorite clothes packed away in storage boxes. I did this because I want to stay out of the conventional medicine industry and pre-diabetes/diabetes 1&2 runs in both sides of my family. Your wonderful videos have been incredibly helpful for me to stay the course. Keep up the good work!

[@warwicksmith]

Hi Dr Becky As I have posted before I am a great believer in your methode for weight loss. The thing that I find is that my weight varies from summer to winter. It is a lot easier to lose weight over summer, not so easy over winter. My metobolic body function demands more food so I tend not to adhere to more strict guide lines over the winter period. This year down here in NZ I find during the winter months when my metabolisim demands more fuel my weight goes up about 2 kg (about 5 lbs) but since following your system I am not worried as I am confident that I can control that minor gain as I come into spring weather. Most animals that we are part of the species do the same. We store energy during the colder seasons to get us though this period. I am sure that the extra weight that I have put on during this period will not stay once the spring/summer season begins. Thanks for your encouragement with your system. Cheers Warwick Smith

I’m a 73 yr old man. I have had very good luck on keto thanks to you and your husband, losing nearly 40 lbs. I swim laps, walk 3 miles, and do resistance training every day. I’m building muscle, but not seeing the fat going away. I eat bacon for breakfast, eggs with cheese for lunch and brats for dinner. I drink a lot of water and take a daily multi-vitamin. How do I know how much fat is too much? How much protein is too much? What signs do I look for?

[@annaak7849]

I would add in intermittent fasting, perhaps 2 meals per day only (or just1 meal some days)

[@wakeupcall2665]

Intermittent fasting is very helpful as in 16 hours fasting window and 8 hours eating window with two meals a day. No snacking. Also a longer fast of 36 or perhaps 48 hours works wonders, and autophagy really kicks off. Also, the 72 hours sardine challenge! Eat whenever, but only high quality sardines in a tin can, and sufficient amount of water.

[@patrickdezenzio4988]

I'm going on 2 years since I went on Keto. Naturally, I started intermittent fasting on the 2nd day and stick with an 18:6 schedule. Sometimes, it's 20:4 or one meal a day. My wife sees my physical changes but she can't get over the lack of food I eat. I used to chow down 6 or 7 small meals a day. I tell her I just eat when I'm hungry and sometimes it might be just one meal in a day. I am fat adapted but it's not something like I know it. I don't feel any different, it's just that I want more non-carb foods than carb foods. Like when I started on keto, I was concerned about walking away from bread. I'm German-Italian, so it's part of my DNA to eat bread with every meal. Today, no cravings from bread. I can even smell a slice of bread or walk by a bakery and not even catch my attention. Oh yeah, Chinese. It used to be the moment I smelled Chinese food, I was hungry. It didn't matter if I just ate. Now, it smells good, but I'm not hungry. The weird thing is, I used to crave a late night snack, so I ate popcorn or ice cream right before bed. If I do that today, it's a knife spread of butter. Butter. Or a spoonful of peanut butter.

[@beckygillaspy]

Chinese food must have a powerful aroma. When I was pregnant, it became a trigger for morning sickness. To this day, I'm not right with it. lol. Thanks for your comment, Patrick!

I am eating a stretched out two hour OMAD at the moment which is something like poached eggs on leftover vegetables and toasted sourdough with whole milk unpasteurised BRIE. Can’t quite get to KETO !

But great idea for a snack, how about with celery? Yuk1. Namaste 🙏

Started the carnivore diet and I did go through a transitional period. My diet before was mostly carbs. I am now starting to see the benefits of low carbs. I feel better. What actually works for me is to go 3 days high protein low carb and then on day 4, I get to splurge and it's all the carbs I want then I either partially or entirely fast on day 5 then back to the routine. Don't plan to ever go back to a high-carb diet.

Excellent video. I am a competitive Ironman Triathlete who races at least 1x a month and unknown to me have a fatty liver with relatively high elevated AST and ALT liver enzymes 4 months ago. . How ? I lived on sports drinks and glucose packets for training and racing. I also lived on sports drinks all day long as my general drink of choice and perhaps a soda or sweet energy drink or two every day. Also ate a lot of "enriched breads" and pizza. I thought nothing of it, my waist didn't get any larger over the years so I figured I was ok. Little did I know, that fat was building up inside my abdomen as visceral fat. I started Keto and 14:10 fasting 4 months ago and religiously followed around 25 carbs for almost 2 months. The first 7 weeks were absolutely terrible. TERRIBLE. Especially still doing biking and run training daily while fasted. Headaches, aches, urinating constantly, muscle cramps all the time and a really high resting pulse rate. Finally I figured out to increase my sodium to around 4,000 mg (9.5g of Himalyan salt) (Florida is hot) , take a potassium supplement and eat an avocado (I really dislike them) every day. Around 7 weeks, my resting pulse and my exercise pulse got back to more normal. At 8 weeks I started moving into eating around 75g to 100g of carbs depending on training schedule. At 3 months I can bike training ride 3+ hours or run 1+ hours (in Zone 3 heart rate zone) while I have been fasted for at least 13 hours. I almost gave up after 7 weeks - As Dr. GIllaspy said, electrolyte replenishment is key. I have used LMNT for a couple of months now. It has been my goto I carry on my bike. KIndof expensive so I buy the ingredients in bulk containers and make my own version with the same electrolyte content. BTW, I cut my Liver Enzyme levels to 1/3 of that in March. My message to readers, dangerous fatty liver can happen to anyone. It is a silent killer. Still perplexes me. Both my Dr. and I were shocked and surprised at the high liver readings in March.

Hello, doing a mix between keto and low carb. Carbs only after jogging ore cycling to fill up and regenerate better. Intermitted fasting (only one meal at the weekend) is normal for me. You save a lot of time and money if you do not eat so often 🙂. It is very comfortable , too - not looking for food every 4 hours. But I do not forget to enjoy live (pizza,beer and so on) after having this (once a week) i train more. Also drinking abel cidre vinager with water works for me. Sorry for my bad english.

I've been carnivore since January 1st. I was in nutritional ketosis daily (,5 or above ketones). I lost 50 lbs of body fat according to my scale. However, I started chemo and the dexmethazone was spiking my glucose and I can't get back into ketosis. I told the doctor I had no nausea or vomiting and so I stopped the pills after #4. My glucose is still under 100 and I think I am seeing some new weight-loss. I think glucose is the cause of chemo side effects!

electrolytes help me fast (I like Ultima replenisher). and I also find that celery juice (from powder, not strained fresh, from Simply Celery) helps me not feel hungry and cuts sugar cravings.

[@horacewilliamsjr-Author]

I commit to your challenge, Dr. Becky. The fasting part has been a great habit for me. I have trained myself to go for 16-26 hours of IF. 3-4/ times each week. However, I believe I need the electrolytes. I drink between 5-7 bottles of water daily. Thanks for the excellent, encouraging, and insightful video. I appreciate the discount too!

Thanks, Horace :)

Thank you Dr Becky just what I needed! Accepting the challenge. Thank you too for explaining how you use the LMNT, very helpful. Your daughter is beautiful and congratulations to both of you, thanks for sharing! God bless you for all you do to help others in this journey. We need you and are so grateful for you! 🙏❤️

Thank you, Tammy M!

Been working on lowering carbs but still learning how to keep track, and knowing how many carbs in various foods. I have been IF for a couple years. I am maintaining weight but want to conquer cravings for unhealthy snacks. Electrolytes might help!

Thank you for all your videos ❤ what are your thoughts on carnivore diet?

[@beckygillaspy]

Thank you! I have a video on the carnivore diet that shares my thoughts: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYSpkq2Co81-aMk

Hey doc, long time no take aways!😄 Thanks for sharing this valuable information 👍 hope you run more races with flying colors. Been on fasting 16/8 since a year now. Have lost 15 kgs. Becoming fat-adaptive will surely keep me from losing the muscle mass and since our brain also runs on fats most of the time. This take away is valuable. Namaste from India 🇮🇳

[@pavanarora3538]

@@gauravarora9752 overall I do keto , but sometimes I do take low carbs. How about you? Are you into intermittent fasting?

[@gaelendeklerk5602]

Hi. Thanks for all the information. So you have something specifically for vegetarians or vegans? Thanks

[@palmtemple]

You have a soft calm voice with a mild accent its lovely to listen to. You should start a meditation channel your voice is perfect for that. I used to listen to Jessica Heslop on KZbin.

[@flyingsaucer1268]

hi doc, looking forward to get my LVMH sample pack….

[@Crimepaysaskapolitician]

If a person keeps plant carbohydrates to maybe 30 grams a day, how can they NOT be fat adapted?

[@faustopereira3644]

I am folowing all these keto Doctors on youtube they are my mentors on low carb. I am back to swimming, eat two times a day a ketogênic style. Lost 10 quilograms. Joint pains and fibromylagia lessen out. A big thanks From Brasil.

[@deb9806]

Congrats on your race, I used to joke that my age group would get better as I got older. Now that my knees feel better with low carb, I hope to get back to running small races, no half marathons now, but that would be such a "win" for me to finish 5 k after joint pain etc with inflammation and weight on knees for the last decade : )

[@beckygillaspy]

Go for it!

[@carelbotes]

Accepted starting now❣️

[@andreaclarke3839]

Another viewer so glad she found you Dr. Becky! Can I ask: re the big daily salad, can you have cottage cheese (instead of a dressing) and beetroot? Also, re the non-starchy vegetables, why do they have to be cooked? Xx

[@ddubois6751]

Dr. Becky, I love your videos and want to take this 30 day challenge, but I have *consistently* been starting low carb, doing well, and then falling off the horse when I hit serious stress. Could use some advice. Thanks for posting this video!

[@beckygillaspy]

Hi D DuBois, I have a couple of videos on stress. You can find them on my channel page or do a search for them on KZbin.

[@annettetoohey8934]

Yes I accept the challenge!

[@Nellie7777777]

Absolutely wonderful video! I 100 percent agree. My hubby and I are doing keto and will be starting carnivore next week. And yes, we will be drinking coffee too! 😂 we are really enjoying your channel.

[@Simonpt2000]

I second that

[@singit3630]

I've committed to 7 days of carnivore to reset from 'keto grief eating' (lost my mom). Haven't eaten SAD foods, just too much keto food. I will commit here to the other 23 days. This is gonna be very helpful. Thanks DocB! 💜

[@rosannechalson5826]

I just read your comment and even though you don't know me, sorry you lost your Mom. Good luck with your reset!

LMNT is delicious but find to use half a packet. Went through a box and reordered.

[@curtismmichaels]

Thank you. This video answered a few questions I had. Over the past year I've lost 50 pounds and my BP and A1C are no longer terrifying, though they're also not where I want them. I have 60 pounds to go, and a physical scheduled in one month. I have a question. Currently if I eat simple carbs I find that for the next day or two I crave more of them, though when I'm eating low carb I don't miss them at all. You mentioned that when one is fat adapted an occasional high carb treat is no problem. Are cravings that I've described normal, or it is purely psychosomatic? It sounds like when I become fat adapted those cravings won't be an issue but I gotta admit I'm a bit scared about that.

[@JKRambo57]

Challenge accepted. Eating and living in that way since December 2021 and lost 25kg. Never felt better than now.
