pre-keto (5 weeks ago) my worst habit (for the last 30 years!) was drinking a few beers or wine every evening while cooking/eating/after dinner. Keto allowed me to just stop that straight off !

[@yahooyates]

@Marten Dekker Definitely ! I was really surprised. I'd done a few times 30 day periods before where i didn't drink any alcohol - hoping to give my liver a break, but also hoping to reduce my regular consumption, but i always came back to drinking as before. But once i went on keto, i really lost all my craving. Now, if my gf opens a bottle of champagne or something, i can't resist, but otherwise i'm fine. Big surprise. And there is plenty of alcohol in the house, no problem, i never feel even tempted. I'd like to go 3 years with almost no drinking, then after that we'll see. Hard to imagine never having a really nice beer once in a while.

[@BareFootDuck]

My worst habit ATM is eating simply because it's time! 65yrs of doing it, but my mind is slowly coming around to allowing me to eat only when I'm hungry.

[@HeyHeyAlabama]

One thing that's helpful for me is to buy ingredients that will make any number of things instead of buying things that can be grabbed, warmed, and eaten. If I want cookies I have to make them, therefore I don't get many cookies. There's not a lot of things just waiting around to be eaten. I have to think about what I'm going to eat and make something good for me... most of the time.

[@joeschmo1516]

Great idea

[@airishviscara2326]

Yess.. Love this

[@monakloudy3616]

I used the same plan, like buying whole meal oat, sugar, honey, butter, and cinnamon to make some healthy oat cookies. And as they consume much time and effort to be prepared, I ended up making them occassionally, like once or twice per year. I started to consume little fruits and much more nuts instead, and this makes me feel much better now, basiclly mentally 😌

[@CringeSamurai]

My worst habit is turning a cheat snack into a cheat meal, then turning it into a cheat day, then turning it into a cheat week, then into a cheat month, then turning it into a cheat year.

Drinking way too much since COVID lockdowns and work from home started last year. My tolerance has caused more drinking. And now I don’t feel as good as I used to. I’m not enjoying it like before yet I’ve a bad habit of pouring a drink every day when I finish work and I may drink all evening or all on into the night. Not exercising Still try to eat somewhat healthy but it’s not keto for sure. Lots of sugar from the mix for alcohol. No chips. No cookies. No fast food. Maybe a few times a year. I do order pizza from time to time. I guess that’s fast food. Anyway I’m at a 10 on the scale. And am going to be watching this series of videos !!! This seems to be posted just at the right time. Very grateful. Thank you.

I've been an alcoholic since I was 21, I stopped periodically but couldn't stay stopped until 35. I stayed sober from alcohol for almost 20 years but switched to a process addiction, anorexia, for most of those years, hospitalization numerous times, eventually down to 34 kgs (77 pounds). However, when I started putting on weight at 54 I stated drinking again though this time it became much worse. I am sober again but working hard to not return to anorexia this time. I am getting so much good, healthy information from these videos which is helping me to focus on my health. I have spent most of my life in pain and by following Dr Berg's gentle advice I am beginning to sleep better, think better, emotion regularity, not starving myself, having energy for my new sober life.

Hi, My name is Parth, and I am suffering from a lot of bloating, acid reflux, indigestion, etc. Watching ur videos and the symptoms that u have enlisted on sibo makes it feel like ur literally talking about me. What I suffer from, recently I have also started getting a lot of anxiety and feel depressed, other symptoms like brain fog and mental fatigue, not being able to think clearly, B12, Vit D deficiency kidney stones etc. have also been there, I literally don't feel like waking up, and no matter how much I sleep it doesn't feel enough, I don't remember the last time I felt refreshed after waking up and also my dreams used to be vivid and clear and not its all gone. My story starts 3 years ago when I suddenly got unlimited access to unhealthy food. I used to live off on pizzas, burgers etc. every day, not to mention my sugar intake being too high, slowly I started developing these symptoms but didn't think much of it, and now it feels like I'm beyond recoverable and have to be like this permanently, I watched your videos and saw the tests on your website, being a college student and from India, the prices of these tests are simply unaffordable, is there any way that I can talk to you and find some solution, please help me.

Finding the right mindset was a big thing for me to keep going. When you eat bad food often because of that craving you might discover that it just doesnt taste that great as you remember. I would take breaks just because things taste better when you been longing for them. Those breaks became longer and longer overtime until that craving vanished for me. But I always kept telling myself "That cheatmeal is gonna taste better if I wait" every day. You find a mindset that works for you that you keep telling yourself to keep going. Another thing I kept thinking was if the pain was really worth that short moment of pleasure. In my case the pain would be headaches and migraines. Theres workout, diet and mindset. Most people seem to put everything into workout when they make their new years promises and then they have to struggle through the pain caused by what they eat and negative mindsets making them give up.

On Shabbat we have an Oneg(food). I usually bring my own food, but if someone has brought good pastries, I have to fight myself not to eat. When I lose the fight, it doesn’t make me feel good, it makes me feel bad, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Physically because I have celiac, Hashimoto, and autoimmune, which all causes inflammation and pain from eating the wrong foods. Mentally, because eating carbs and sugar, puts me into a brain fog, and seems to take away my short-term memory. Emotionally, because I then get down on myself for being weak, and giving into the temptation. So, in the end eating something bad makes me feel bad in every way, so there is actually no pleasure in making the wrong choice.

I started the healthy lifestyle aprox a year ago and i feel incredible. But i still have one big bad habit. I usually cannot go to bed without a small blunt. It was fun the first few years but now i can sometimes feel the inflamation in my lungs, throat and mouth.. i feel like i need to stop this but on the other side, after i smoke, i usually listen to podcasts about lifestyle an building a better me. I feel much more concentrated and can extract a lot more information from the content that i am watching while high. I can even say that weed helped me get out of a very depressing period of my life. Thanks to the fact i can concentrate better i started learning a lot about lifestyle and mindset and that helped me a lot.. don't really know what i should do next from here but i'm sure things will settle for the better

[@tassinmonkeys]

I quit alcohol over 2.5 years ago. It no longer served me, and was hindering my quest for healthy aging! Changing mindset was the winning strategy! Now onto quest of killing the Sugar Demon by doing Keto and IF!

[@jnsyngan8018]

My 2 worst were 1) convenience food hence I have a tendency to reach for instant noodles and 2) ice cream. I no longer allow instant noodles available at home and now I enjoy cooking so I strive to recreate an instant meal by replacing with fresh ingredients. As for 2, I selectively and very rarely allow ice cream in my freezer. Most days I only eat when I'm outside. Still improvements to be done but I am thankful to have stumbled on Dr Berg's videos which had created so much more awareness (and now choice) to improve immunity in my body. Thank you Dr Berg!

Thank you for your true confession! Mine is that I won't do what I tell myself to do and I wind up wasting valuable time and not having any rewards that come from taking actions that lead to a sense of accomplishment. My anger over the lockdown and covid suppression is my excuse. Maybe tomorrow I'll do better.

Stress eating cookies or cake or whatever sweet carb I can find. Probably just over eating in general. My dad died 7 weeks ago and it has been hard to control my eating. I am 💯 ready to stop it!

[@najeegilani]

My utmost bad habit is the combination of social media marathon combined with excessive eating of refined carbs, mostly at night, which also hinders my sleep quality. My willingness to change is the 10f. I know I can't live like this.

[@najeegilani]

@@raisedonmetal7984 Thank you for this. I had a pretty good last year with health and eating. It's only the past couple of months that I've fallen off the wagon and now finding it really hard to get back on. But I'll definitely remember the 'just do it' approach you've mentioned.

[@aerosmith7569]

hearing you describe your late night snack habits makes me laugh. i would eat a bowl of popcorn every night and sometimes have a bowl of cereal right before bed (around 12-12:30). since starting Keto, i've topped off my snacking and ive been having 1 Lily's peanut butter cup per night at around 7:30. today im starting I.F. so didnt eat breakfast and pushed it until noon. will eat dinner at 5ish and call it a night. see how it goes. ive lost 70 lbs in about a year and have plateaued a bit. hoping the IF kicks me back in gear as i go for my next goal.the hardest part is fitting in all the healthy food i need into just 2 meals. its usually more than i want to eat, lol.

[@miked8023]

I am addicted to going thru fast food drive thrus. I find the food to be pleasurable after a stressful day at work. After I eat one of these meals, I don't feel very good and I feel guilty about it. I have been doing great with my diet lately and gone through periods of fasting, but once in a while, I still can't escape hitting a drive thru. My desire to make a more lasting change is a 7 or 8 right now.

[@evi1kitty642]

Mine is going from healthy Keto to dirty Keto along with abandoning some of my planned fasts. My high stress profession is blamed. I do want this to change. 😐😑

Dr. Berg, I would be interested to hear what your other bad habits are/were. Thanks!

[@mgu1N1n1]

I respect your honesty.

[@yahooyates]

Because i started keto and thought peanut and almond butter were ok and was using that as last thing after a meal - really helped me reach satiety and satisfaction and sort of fill that old need/habit of dessert. But then i found out those are loaded with omega 6 and so i'm trying to stop, but it's not easy. I'd say my willingness is 10, i'm determined to stop. On the other hand, i've cracked the last couple of days, though i consumed a lot less.

[@skinney9542]

Me too then I realized it was causing my shoulder pain to be alot worse (peanut butter)

[@yahooyates]

@@skinney9542 That's funny because i think i largely found keto because i developed shoulder capsulitis - it's inflammation - and unprovoked by injury in my case (as is often the case). I was interested in fasting and just info on what could cause an inflammation like that, and fell into this whole new world of keto. :) Very happy to have found dr berg, low carb down under, and others - dr sten ekberg is really good too.

[@skinney9542]

@@yahooyates thanks for the replies! Yes my keto treat/dessert after dinner was peanut butter on a low carb cracker but then I was getting alot of shoulder pain and stiffness and found out through Dr Berg it contains Omega 6 which can be inflammatory so I cut it out and it helped a good bit though I'm weaning of antidepressants too which is crucifying some days so it's hard to tell what is causing what. It's very difficult. Thanks again for your comments I really appreciate it 🙏

[@XfStef]

I was 4 days into keto until last night. I cheated a bit with some whole wheat pancakes I made. Then today at lunch I had fries and a sugary pastry with poppy seeds after my burger with mushroom balls. It was just the taste of them alone that I enjoyed, now (afternoon) I'm feeling like crap, tired and can't concentrate. Hopefully I'll get to do more days on keto with less and less cheating in the future.

[@cherhorowitz5614]

My husband loves to go out to eat almost every weekend. My bad habits have always been alcoholic drinks at dinner (which inevitably lead to more drinks after dinner), which leads to craving carbs. I have 3 places on the list that I do routinely have keto meals I enjoy, but it’s always the wine 🍷 that gets me. Or if it’s a place that I haven’t yet figured out how to make keto (that my husband wants to go to such as Mexican food), the steak tacos and buy 1 get 1 margaritas also get me caught up. And then after that happens, it always takes me quite some time to get back into ketosis because my cravings have been reignited. That includes wanting pizza from our favorite stone fire pizza restaurant, popcorn during movie time, junk food/dirty keto ice cream (Rebel and the likes), mimosas and pancakes at a brunch spot, etc. I have successfully gone weeks and even months without caving to the triggers (they usually seem more tame because keto makes me feel strong), but after some time, for some reason my mind forgot all of the negative effects and I have trouble bringing the knowledge I know to the surface again. I can’t say that avoiding eating out entirely is an option because my husband loves it way too much. I can make a stronger effort to avoid the worst offenders (such as Mexican food and pizza joints), but I have to find a way to not give in to my triggers at the better restaurants that have the big salads, salmon and broccoli, or a steak. I find it so strange that I can do it perfectly in the beginning with zero temptation, but somehow weeks to months later the temptations come back with vengeance (once I have forgotten the terrible feelings of a hangover and carb loading bloating). I’ll be sitting in a restaurant and suddenly I have to actively try hard to avoid the happy hour signs (which didn’t tempt me the weeks before), the drink menu, ignore my husbands pint, ignore the tacos 🌮, ignore the free loaf of bread with dipping oil or chips and salsa, and you get the gist. I often feel resolute in my decision, and then my triggers ALWAYS happen in social situations and when I least expect it. Willingness: 10, Question: What is right about this? Well each time I do end up feeling more relaxed, feel like I have more fun, and also feel more connection by joining in on activities. Those are always the pros, but the cons list is much much longer.

I'm an emotional eater. I have had the kind of stress from a loss which is the worst kind... Bread, buttered popcorn, etc gives me comfort but in the next day or two my body is in pain. I also have trouble exercising and lockdowns did not help since I was in a high risk group I stayed inside. So, I let myself get into such a mess. I know what keto can do for me I need to decide to only eat foods that are healthy for me not be tempted friends who always want to give me a card but I'm feeling kind of down.

Samantha Rizzi You've got the right spirit,Dr Berg and his wife Karen do have a KZbin channel called *"Keto Recipes* you can check it out and instead of eating Fast Foods start cooking for yourself with the help of their videos, I'm only mentioning this because I don't know where you are with your eating habits, if you have someone that can help you with the program it would be great and don't forget to do *Intermit Fasting* Good Luck..🤗

[@robdebl2414]

My husband and I definitely have a bad habit of eating anything from pizza, ice cream, candy or basically anything unhealthy after the kids go to bed at 9pm. Now that we are in our late 30s (we're 38 and 39) we are starting to feel very sluggish and tired or just not feel well for the first few hours of the day after because of it so we are trying to stop snacking before bed. I think we are somewhere between 7 and 8 on willingness to change :-) I started doing the intermittent fasting for around 18 hours last week but yesterday I was in a "I don't care" mood and ate a lot of carbs and feel kind of crummy today :-) We are not at a point of eating keto but trying to take small steps in that direction. :-) We have diabetes in both sides of our families and so that is sobering us up a lot more as we are getting a little older and we definitely want to teach our kids better habits. Thank you so much for your videos! They are so helpful! I have been afraid and intimidated of keto but watching your videos makes it seem a lot less overwhelming and scary :-)

I am 100% addicted to sugar and it has cost me my health and I'm not even 40 yet. I gained 60 pounds, almost all in my belly, fought cancer, have NAFLD, and just found out I am pre-diabetic. I am scared. My problem is the period of switching to no carb. I get severe body aches and extremely severe depression to the point I am dreading it even though I know I have no choice. I did keto last year so I know I will feel exponentially better once I get through the transition but I am afraid of this period. Btw, I do take electrolytes but it seems to make no noticeable difference in how absolutely horrible I feel initially going no carb.

The critical part of my routine: wake up, feeling hungry so I eat a healthy breakfast: salad, three boiled eggs, maybe some meat -- and then I start feeling tired and sleepy and I just woke up! It bothers me cos I go to gym as well, and i always want to go in the morning, but then i end up going afternoon cos I'd take a nap after my breakfast... Tbh, I am no innocent in my own problem cos then in the night I tend to study until really late and then watch a bit of news or read and I almost always tend to crack salty pumpkin seeds or lick peanut butter or snack some dry dates... ughh. I am my own problem cos I allow myself that hedonism in the evening that tends to last until really late.

I gave up my nightly BIG glass of wine or two when I started this lifestyle... first two days sucked... I went to bed at 7p to make it less... then after a couple weeks of getting my eating habits in order and the scale started moving... the temptation was a whole lot easier to ignore... now 5 weeks in 17 lbs down... IF making me feel all over way better.... my focus on the prize... is greater then the before bed buzz.
