Dr. Westman, you nailed it! I have followed your strict Keto for 1-1/2 years, and it is the first time in my entire life that I haven’t thought about my weight and have tons of energy. I am 5’3” and now stay around 110 pounds at 58-years-old. I should mention that I have given birth to 11 wonderful children, and I have a flat stomach for the first time in my adult life! I swear my skin is less wrinkled than it was ten years ago. My husband finally joined my keto lifestyle after seeing my results. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[@Knitted_together_by_Jesus]

Please tell me more. I’m doing everything he recommends and still struggling. 55 yrs old and 4 kids. I’m 5’ 4 and would love to get down to 115. How long did it take you ?

[@happyeveryday13]

It took about a year to lose the last 10 pounds, stay there, and get down to very little body fat. Since I am still homeschooling two children, I do pull-ups, planks, etc., at home throughout the day, but I just had to stick with a very low-carb plan. I do eat a 7-cup salad every day that I don’t count in my 20-or-less carbs. Also, I stick to one or two meals per day. I hope this helps!

@@happyeveryday13 I love hearing about your free salad everyday because Dr Atkins allowed us to eat 2 cups of free non-starchy green vegetables per day, that we didn't have to count, and I'm doing that now. He discovered most of his patients had been cheating by doing that, so he studied it and discovered it didn't hinder their weight loss and made it easier to stick to the diet.

I am dealing with the 20 lb result of "carb creep." Almost half my total loss - so, no more. The total carbs make the difference - and understanding my addictive personality re: carbs. Thanks so much, Dr. Westman!

Why is it that as adults we STILL need to be reminded to stay the course??? Thank you for this reminder, Dr Westman. I do indeed need to lose the last 20 lbs….after losing 75. Somehow having you encourage me to be strict with myself is just the advice I needed to hear!

[@rachelm7525]

I've been following a Ketogenic diet since February of this year, and I've lost over 30 pounds! Not only that, I have no joint inflammation, I'm sleeping better, and I have better energy levels. I can totally agree, Keto works! 🙂

[@stevec3872]

Nearly 2 years ago I lost 40 pounds on the keto diet/lifestyle quickly and easily, but really too quickly because I also lost lean muscle mass. Since then I've regained 15 pounds but I believe this to be muscle since my clothes fit the same as when I lost the 40 pounds. I'm now more ketovore than keto, eating fewer carbs and more from animal sources, but it doesn't seem strict, just my lifestyle now.

[@gailots]

Sounds like my story to a tee! I am going to stop this carb creep and finally get ALL the last weight OFF! I’m also going to incorporate more carnivore (beef, bacon, butter,eggs) and get strict again.

[@texdentist]

Dr. Westman - Thank you for all of the great information! I started a ketogenic diet exactly one month ago. I'm 72 years old, and have been carrying 40-50 extra pounds for many years. I'm not diabetic, but I'm sure very insulin resistant. I wanted to find a way to treat the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease that I was told I have, so I did some research and found your channel. I have strictly followed 20 grams or less of total carbohydrates per day for four weeks and one day. I am a male, 5'-11" tall, and I started at 226 pounds. I weighed today, and I weighed 206 pounds -- my first 20 pounds! My wife has been doing this with me, and has been frustrated because her weight loss was slower. In the same period, she has lost 10 pounds. I suppose that is just the difference in male and female response to the diet. At any rate, I'm very happy, I feel good, I am satisfied with two meals a day with 16 hours fasting between evening meal and late morning meal. I'm now looking for my next 20 pounds with a goal of 185 pounds. This diet works. Thanks again!

[@LadiesofPurposeTV]

Wow way to go!!!!!

[@cookshackcuisinista]

Dr Westman, I love love love you and your level-headed instructions. People, he is the real deal. He does not preach from a soapbox or from a financial viewpoint, but from a scientific, verified, way of eating which kills your appetite! He is an encourager and always points back to the science! Be careful who you lend your ears to even for this way of life. Dr Westman's page 4 instruction is the way to go! Thank you Dr Eric W, ketogenic non-caped crusader! 😂😉💓

[@islaadele1212]

Nearly one year without any sugar, as close to zero carb as I can get. The only carbs I eat these days are the small amounts in liver, eggs and coffee. Started off ketovore and naturally just felt like dropping the vegetables from my diet. Carnivore's worked really well for me. I don't keep bathroom scales (that way lies obsession) but I measure my waist, and I'm down to 26", which is about where I was in high school. Best of all, a lifelong sugar addiction has been broken. I never thought I'd be able to do that, I was the girl who couldn't open a pack of cookies without eating all of them. I don't even think about sweet things anymore. And I believed all the lies about low fat diets. I was scared of eating fatty foods. These days, I'm eating at least 200 grams of fat a day, and I think that's definitive proof that fat does not make you fat - it helps you get skinny!

[@cates_keto]

Great video! 🎉❤ I had 49lbs to lose. I did strict strict keto for 2 months. I lost 41lbs. I did under 20g of total carbs per day. It’s amazing. I feel amazing. To maintain my weight and to live a little bit normal in modern life (as I have kids) I cycle in and out of keto and fasting. 😇

[@togetherrrr]

I have lost 17lb in 5 month, being 90% carnivore. Did not expect it, I was doing carnivore for some health issues, weight loss came as an extra )) Eliminated almost everything, except my (cultural habit) black hot sweet teas, ice cream once in couple weeks, and milk products like kefir and sour cream, for gut health.

Oh my goodness you are speaking to me! I lost 40 lbs in 2020 (Lost weight during the pandemic) finally committed to losing the last 30. Back to pure keto.

[@lafarrar8000]

Hi Dr. Westman! I've known for 40 years that there are groups of "food" that simply have to be totally eliminated from my "food options." I'm 33 years in recovery from other addictions and I've always used the excuse "Yeah, but I've got to eat" for eating addictive foods. Now, I've been eating less than 20 carbs per day, no sugars, and upping my "exercise" (including simply working strenuously in the garden for two hours each day) and I'm losing fat. It IS a struggle to stop my "monkey mind" from tempting me with eating carbs. But, if I feel the "need" to eat, I eat protein. I'm doing it right this time, ODAAT (One Day At A Time). Thanks for "being there!" Leslie Ann

RE 20 total carbs vs 30 total carbs, I've been doing closer to 30. I'm 5'9" active and really only had 20 to loose. I can say that 30g works BUT it is quite a bit slower. My goal was to get comfortable with the diet as a way of life, not a temporary thing (and loose a pesky 20+ lbs that had resisted all attempts for years). It took at least 18 months to get those 20lbs off. I think 30g a day = 1 lb a month in my case. The months I was closer to 20 total carbs it went off faster. But it does still work. And I was able to relax and accept this as my "normal."

Wow that’s amazing you lowered your A1C!!!!! That’s so awesome & you inspire me! Mine is around 8 and I’ve been trying to count points & I’ve lost 8-9 pounds since January but stuck and still have 70-80 pounds to shed so I decided today im following Dr Westman phase 1 starting tonight. I went to grocery store & and picked up steaks, pork chops & sausage & other keto approved foods off his list. Praying I can reverse diabetes or at least get A1C in safe, normal range & I hope the weight falls off.

Hello Dr. Westman. Looking forward to meeting you on the 2023 LLCruise! I wanted to share with you that after watching this video, I took on this challenge for September. While many were doing the BBBE challenge, I decided to give Strict Keto a try. We’ll, it’s working. After being stalled for well over a year, and still doing keto, I dropped 7 lbs! I’m continuing thru October. By cutting out the keto treats and nuts, the weight is finally coming off. I did lose 50 lbs in the first couple years, it then plateaued. I won’t go back to SAD and will only have a ket treat on special occasions! By the way, I went from Stage 4 CKD to normal creatinine and EGFR to 60!

[@Littrell1966]

Absolutely, I got lured into adding a few things here and there and in a few months I had put on 15 lbs after losing 80. I am back on eating healthy for me and it's starting to go back off. I am happy I can reel myself back in and not put all my weight back on.

I am a long time fan of your work Dr Westman. Your video skills have really improved, especially this one. I followed the diet you put in Taube's book (I read 2011),dropped my 30 lb perimenapausal weight gain and never looked back. Taught my teenage son, he dropped 100# and this has been 11 years. I had to get off stevia and other sweeteners totally because they hijack my brain and cause the same craving & anxiety as sugar for me (although I have never fell off the wagon the SF sweeteners make me hold on to extra 2 lbs of belly fat as well as drive addictive behavior with fake food). 120 lbs, 60 years old, run half marathons and on a 200+mile bike tour now.

My endocrinologist said it is insulin resistance ( IR) from the keto diet and I should give up on keto and eat frequent meals with carbs in small portions ( with which I couldn't control my appetite). Do you know if RHers can be on keto on and off? I watched your video on IR but it was about a weak publication not from your clinical experience. Please advice, I would appreciate it a lot. I have a PhD in Microbiology, I studied bacterial biochemistry and I am a university professor, so no worries about terminologies or referral to scientific papers. Thanks

I lost 60 pounds and reached my idea body weight at 185, and continued strict Keto, 20 carbs a few more 25 or less 15 a day, and could not lose anymore weight. You cannot keto eat your way into an underweight state. I've been eating this way for 5 years now, still 185. I did a 3 day fast once and went down to 183, but it came right back to 185. Weight Plateau can also just be a body reset, stay the course, you'll start losing again. Pork rinds slow weight loss. Too much exterior fat introduced. Good Luck gang. You're in the right place, with Dr. Westman, Volek and Phinney.

I lost 10 more lbs doing NO exercise for 6 weeks and ALL the pain (unrelated to my surgery) I had been experiencing since my early 50's went away. I never went back to eating processed foods and lost 45+ lbs. A year later someone asked me, "Are you doing Keto? " "I don't think so. What's Keto?" Shocker I was probably eating about 20-30 carbs a day because I also didn't eat rice, potatoes, peas, etc. Well, 10 lbs have creeped back so I'm investigating what the hell is going on. Maybe I'm eating too many carbs in pecans etc. Will try to pay attention this time and do youR strict 20 carbs a day and see what happens.

This is an important message. No nuts! Keep your leafy greens to only two cups and your non-starchy vegetables to only 1 cup. That's not very much. Eat meat, fish, poultry, a little cheese. That's it. Keep it simple. If you're not hungry don't eat anything. Thank you Dr Westman. I was eating lots of nuts and peanut butter and wondering why I had plateaued. Now I know.

HA! I totally forgot I had really bad heartburn! Just got used to it! Question, on keto, should your post prandial blood sugar be below 100?

And….another thing, do you shopping on the periphery of the market! Get you veggies, get you meat, get your eggs (lots of them, great snack if you get hungry), get you cheese and butter and off you go! I get into the middle isle to get my good olive oil, olives, sourkraut (great for cleaning your gut and making your belly flat…yes…we’re all full of poop), mustard and sugar free ketchup (for my husband…I hate ketchup! Yuk) That’s about it…simple…to the point! I buy the same things over and over again…it’s good on my budget and my peace of mind!

Too much fat. You don't need to eat fat, if you're trying to lose fat. If you eat cow fat and pig fat and fat designed for baby cows, you're going to need to burn that off before you burn your own stored calories - FAT. All the people that are glorifying a high protein HIGH FAT diet are gluttons. Seriously, knock off the inhaled fat, it's disgusting. I used to draw blood for labwork and once the blood settled in the tube for a few minutes, you could tell who was on the high fat diet - their blood had a layer of FAT in the tube; just think what that's like, trying to move through the capillaries in your brain and every other organ. Stroke and heart attack waiting to happen.

Yep. But why "some veggies"? When I think of what I _must_ eat, it's mostly protein, some EFA's, and electrolytes. Meat, eggs, fatty fish, some cheese; supplement electrolytes. From a weight loss POV, everything else is optional. Do veggies have a place? Maybe... _after_ I've reached my weight goals.

Dr. Westman: I do CrossFit 2-3.5 hours a day, 7 days a week, and have about 12-15 pounds to lose (to get to about 18% body fat, 59f, 5'6.5", (I don't have a scale!))...do I need to do (only) 20g net carbs?...I would like to eat a Larabar (25 carbs) during my workout, so I can have energy, and get weightlifting PRs! (And then have some greens with my meat) (btw, I was at 18% bf, with superb muscle mass and bone density, three years ago...can send you my dexascan if you don't believe me haha). Thanks!
