[@gleehanson4775]

Those enemies are exactly why after 40 years of morbid obesity and a series of yo yo dieting using low fat, eat less, move more, etc., I've finally gotten 2 1/2 years of success with keto and IF!!! Never before have I been able to handle those other "diets" for more than a year. 100 pounds gone! Only 30 pounds left to lose and then the rest of my life to enjoy keto! You, Neisha, Dr. Fung and others have helped more than you know. THANK YOU!!!

[@rickyb8636]

For me, the enemy of weight loss turned out to be the medical professionals who kept telling me to eat less and exercise more, which I was already doing, and to maintain a low fat diet. That led to weight loss failure, and weight gain over 40 years. It wasn't until I contracted Type 2 diabetes and learned that the real enemy was high insulin levels. Since then I have lost 180 pounds and no longer have numbers in the diabetes range.

[@artemishunter8993]

Same issue is had. Got told I was t2d Feb 2019 after 10 years of pre diabetes, gee thanks docs who said just lose weight. Oi. Real thanks to a gaming friend that pointed me to keto influencers on KZbin

The biggest battle is that most people have an emotional connection to eating. It's evidenced by all the keto versions of comfort foods (crap).

[@K_F_fox]

Fake Carbs are my downfall.

[@thepipewhisperer8357]

The social interactions around eating can also create situations that pressure you to get eating cake or pies lol you have to be assertive and the BEST defense is to have a photo of yourself from before on your phone to flash to your crowd that is the main defense for NOT going back lol

[@nsl888]

This is definitely true. I have tried to convince people who need keto to give it a shot, but they often do not want to try it. I think it is strong solution aversion; they don't like the solution of giving up comfort foods so they ignore the fact that those foods are causing their health problems. I try to explain that you gain far more than you give up, but the addiction is too strong.

[@bruno_bantuga]

My suggestion is to add real human food: raw meat, milk, cheese, fat (butter, suet, tallow, bone marrow, ghee). Walk as much as you wish and as comfortably you can. This should help greatly with those problems. That’s how I have found relief after the consequences of a major car accident I had.

I can easily go 16 hours without getting hungry. I eat good human food. Lots of eggs, bacon, steak, chicken, you get it. If I do happen to get hungry before my 16 hours, I have a hard boiled egg or 3, or whatever else I want. I'm finally going in the right direction again! I just have to remember to drink water. Thanks Dr Barry! You have helped me so much!

Dr. Berry, you have read it thousands of times - THANK YOU, YOU HAVE SAVED MY LIFE!! As a 54 yr old morbidly obese woman, down 50lbs so far and now able to move, you have changed my life. Carnivore eating and understanding weight is not all in your head, has lit a fire in me. Growing up on the farm we ate a lot of eggs and beef - until the doctors tell you this is unhealthy, eat more vegetables and exercise. LOW FAT or you are going to have a heart attack. Poisoned for 40 years by greed. You have set me free - Carb addiction gone, with all thoughts of food out of my head!! Freedom - finally.

Go Keto With Casey said it best: "If hunger isn't the problem, then food is not the solution." Listen to your hunger signals. Make sure you are 100% clear on why you are eating.

[@DESaxon]

No lie - as I am watching this video, a family member texted me a pic of one of my favorite desserts - no accompanying text - just a pic. I’ve been doing keto for a short while now, down from 216 to 203. This time last year I was 235ish. Thank God I am no longer diabetic. Discovered I was in February and was on 4 pills per day plus insulin injections. Now, nothing. I also had a nephrectomy in March due to cancer. Still cancer free. Not one of the 5 medical professionals I’ve seen this year, who all knew I was diabetic, ever mentioned how to reverse it.

[@sportysbusiness]

I am a carb addict yet after 10 months ketovore my cravings are 100% gone. These are some learnings that really helped me if anyone is struggling. 1. Avoid sweeteners, they stimulate carb cravings. 2. Don't go cold turkey with carbs, your willpower is not enough. Gradually reduce your sugar intake in line with increasing fat consumption. Allow your body to get used to a proper way of eating. This is a lifetime change, not a race. 3. Always eat until you're comfortably full. Calorie counting is your enemy. 4. Have NOTHING sweet in the house but ALWAYS have animal based foods available like home made beef patties, hard boiled eggs or oven baked lamb chops with crispy fat! It quickly becomes clear that if you feel 'hungry' but don't want to eat one of those snacks, you are not hungry, you're bored or needing an emotional crutch. Being able to tell the difference is a gamechanger. Good luck x

[@Terri_2.0]

There's a saying (and I think I've heard Dr. Berry say it) that "if you're not hungry for a steak, you're not hungry. Period."

I bet that happens most when you're bored, lonely, stressed or have a feeling of your life being inadequate. Develop things that are engrossing, engaging, calming and fulfilling that you can use instead. The specifics will be unique to you. You need an emotional management toolkit that works to give you the dopamine and serotonin hit that carbs formerly provided.

Looking at the menu ahead of time is a great solution! My usual solution to eating out is to bring my own homemade salad dressing. Most places have some sort of large salad.

You’re such a Godsend, Dr. Berry. I agree on all points. My biggest hurdle has been coming to terms with the understanding that I simply cannot eat at any restaurant as I have zero control over what the kitchen uses. I miss the flavors found in the dishes served in ethnic restaurants. As a Texan, make a plethora of good Southern choices in a Keto version, but it’s tricky to learn how to prepare other recipes without having those ingredients on-hand. It’s a learning curve to be sure.

I've been a follower for a couple of years now and had great health success. The enemy i face are not only the physicians i have personally seen but also the medical facility i work for. These professionals advise against the use of a keto or carnivore diet and theres nothing I can do without being fired. My patients who are made up of 95% type 2 diabetics are fed things like grapes, carrots, apples, potatoes and skim milk with a small peice of chicken on one tray as an example for lunch or for dinner bread with pasta and are then scolded for their high blood sugar and pumped with insulin.

I cannot stress how much I love the carnivore "diet". It is the ONLY diet that has removed 100% of my cravings...from day one. I can watch my friends plough through bag after bag of potato chips (my kryptonite), and have zero desire for any. Also, carnivore is the only diet that doesn't cause me any physical discomfort; everything else causes bloating and hurts my gut. For me, my greatest enemy to weight loss is smoking Cannabis. I used to smoke it every night for insomnia (which worked far better than any pill that I'd tried), but had to give it up (reluctantly) because my head would say, "Let's eat EVERYTHING!" And I would. Not because I was hungry, or that it tasted good (usually, I couldn't taste anything), but because my mouth loved the different textures. Now, when I avoid that, and eat only meat, everything is easy-peasy.

Having to cook for other family members who aren't doing intermittent fasting. The food that you're cooking for the other person is right in front of you....but you don't want to ruin your eating pattern by consuming it as well.

[@valeriegriner5644]

This was another GREAT video! I wish you were my "official" doctor. You and Neisha are the BEST!

[@johnwilliams8818]

My withdrawal from sugars begs to differ with the Goofru's... I got headaches, became irritable, had problems sleeping (restless), and had serious cravings for various "Frosted" treats or tortes... Tiramisu and Dbl Fudge chocolate cake rolls with sprinkles... I honestly don't crave (or even miss) them at all. I will admit I miss a few Mint Oreo Thins with some Omega 3 enhanced milk (tastes like milk used to taste when I was a kid, organic cottage cheese and sour cream does too)... But I'll survive... I am down 80lbs since April 2020...

[@dedea.9428]

I've got my gallbladder removed 16 yrs ago, doc asked me then if anyone has ever talked to me about my liver? I told him no! But he didn't say anymore. It scared me so I didn't ask any questions. I always tried to intake healthier choices. After i eat My mid abdominal section swells and pain in upper right abdominal. I'm seething doc tomorrow Wish me luck! I'll keep you updated in results. Ty you and your wife for helping us all out it sure helps to have someone there to listen to, and learn from.

For me, though I am a carbaholic, I feel more like a alcoholic in that alcoholism is not short - term, its something alcoholics deal with for a lifetime. Sugar is sugar, no matter if its fermented or processed.

[@RobCLynch]

I've been following doctor Berry since June this year of 2020. To date, I've lost 80 pounds, restored my blood pressure - right down the middle and moved from borderline type 2 diabetes. I'm not on a diet, I've simple found out what 'real' food is and now I'm consuming 'real' food. Combined with intermittent fasting, I'm now on a 20:4 fast and it has been a super-easy journey. This is a forever thing. I suggest that anybody who can't afford to support Ken Berry on Patron, should consider allowing an ad or two to play to completion - so that he gets the revenue from that.

Emotional comfort..a slice of cake is like a big warm hug from my Nana..❤

[@jenniferburke2972]

Great take on the subject Dr. B! For me, abstention from the carbs helps the addiction part and being fat adapted helps the true hunger part. Viewing the junk food as garbage and not food helps with the social stuff for me. The 'need sweet after meal' habit I'm still trying to conquer.

[@junehoward5186]

Wow...you nailed it. I live with someone who eats junk, carbohydrates coming out the Ying yang....and I'm addicted to them badly. I am a type 2 diabetic and its so hard. 😭😭😭😭😭

[@arifaahamed7239]

Thanks Dr. Berry for another awesome video. I think ignorant doctors/ physicians who promotes the high carbohydrate diet and think Ketogenic lifestyle is bad are also an enemy to a healthy lifestyle.

[@beckybarnett2066]

It's not just physicians spreading inaccurate information. Colleges are also pushing a plant-based diet. I understand factory farms are cruel and unhealthy, however, meat is not the enemy.

[@lle.5583]

The hardest thing for me when starting keto was trying to differentiate between hunger and cravings. My cravings were constant, every day - and it took almost 2 weeks for them to finally diminish.

[@tylerking62]

Thanks Dr.Berry love and respect from Vancouver, WA May God bless you and your family!

[@RubyRedhead1]

Hey, congratulations on the KZbin award for passing one million subscribers. Think of all the people you have helped. God bless you!

[@laurierossi7901]

Mental comfort food during severe stressful times. I have been keto for 3 years and ketovore the past 6 months. I had a horrible stressful situation (beyond normal) and I broke down seeking comfort from food. Everything I went for didn't taste good like I remember how it used to. It didn't matter, my brain kept telling me to keep going. Finally, a week later, I got through a 24 hour fast and am still going. Hopefully a 48 hour fast. Mental is my problem.

[@laneyslearninglife]

"Food like product" That 1 statement says it so well Thank you doctor Barry

I love the Berry-Cywes team. My fav channels among all.

"I am not weak, just fighting to the wrong enemy."

[@AliyaTebawi]

Great video - I would add another enemy which is poor stress / sleep management.

[@poppyorangeflower]

SLEEEEEEEP. If I don't sleep well and/or enough, it's really easy for me to overeat and make bad food choices.

[@aaotcis]

I'm a recovering carb addict. Since awakening to truth that manufacturer's marketing is deceptive, it's been eye opening. Keto lifestyle transition was best decision I've made.

[@cavman420]

I find that depression and stress cause me to want to eat more because that's how I have dealt with it in the past. I have also spoken to a lot of friends and family who also eat for comfort it's actually referred to a lot of times has comfort for emotional eating and it is something that is very difficult for me to resist when I am upset or depressed or stressed out

[@TrekieGal]

Emotional eating I'm learning to avoid. Peanut butter and nuts throw me off every time though.

[@ktr1024]

Same!

[@RubyRedhead1]

I found that if I threw those things out, I could resist them better. If they were in the house, I couldn't resist them. But I was able to fight them if I knew I had to get up and go to the store.

[@Kingsdaughter23]

Your video opened with a Raisin’ Cane’s commercial, lol! Now that is an issue! They are very popular here in South Louisiana with some of the best breaded fried chicken tenders and fries ever😢. It’s okay, I am not rushing to the nearest one! My biggest concern is the upcoming holidays. None of my family will be eating keto. Even the regulars are planning to cheat. I plan to cook Neisha’s cornbread dressing for me here at home but the kids and their families will be eating mama’s dressing. Yep, I am cooking SAD cornbread dressing for my family! Ah, well, if I make it through Thanksgiving and Christmas, I can do anything. Started out on keto Aug. 11 at 220 lb, blood sugar running 140-160 postprandially. A1C was 6.4. Now weighing 183, blood sugar around 100, postprandial; A1C was 5.4. I am mostly eating carnivore with an occasional veggie. Thank you Dr. Berry!

[@Rotationbug]

Im so happy to come across this video and know of the enemies. Thank you Dr. Berry.

[@nathancarlson5385]

Great video. I found that the junk 'sports' products like protein bars, balls, Gatorade etc., tripped me up early on until I realized how unhealthy they were. Cheers for your work, greetings from Australia 👍🏻

[@mandyware7906]

love that idea, i would wear one

[@tracyburton9339]

I like the recovering carbaholic teeshirt😁😁

[@johnpeters1441]

I had this problem hit me in the face... I was on keto for three years. Loss 45 lbs. I went from 215 to 170. Felt great ! Until the virus hit and coupled with taking care of family member with health problem. I'm up to 188. And sugar was definitely my escape. Should have realized this years ago. When I was at the 7- 11 I was the only guy grabbing a gallon of milk and a box of cookies. When the other guys were buying beer ! ,(lol) getting back on track but this time it's a up hill battle.

[@wandalause6976]

A lot of what you said does apply to me but I'm also a compulsive leader I eat out of depression I eat when I'm upset until my first husband got upset with me because I lost all but 15 lb after our child which was not quite 40 years ago now I did okay but it didn't matter what I picked up to eat I could pick up an apple and he would berate me about it you don't need that put it down after that I just kept eating and eating I've had small conquerors over the years where I lost some weight I am a type 2 diabetic now which does run in my family I do have cravings that are sometimes sugars or carbs but lately I've even had cravings just for meat just plain meat cooked of course which has confused me and isn't always the easiest thing on disability I've just recently watched your videos and I'm learning little by little thank you for all the information

[@donnahamilton1843]

I've always done well on Keto, but invariably have given up when I stalled. I heard your live stream the other night that said stalls were normal, and it totally opened my eyes. Back on keto again--two weeks into it. Hopefully I will stick with it for life this time.

[@geekyboytop]

My two biggest enemies are wine and peanut butter. I have managed to curb the wine to two glasses on Friday and Saturday nights and peanut butter I buy the all natural unsweetened and put a keto sweetener in it. Also keep that jar all the way in the back of the pantry. Thanks for the great video Doctor Berry, love your content.

[@katenkaren6692]

You need potassium...

[@duc1198s]

Congrats on the KZbin plaque I see behind you!

[@sickofsnow1506]

I keep sugar free jello for when I crave something sweet but I’m wondering now if this is just feeding my addiction and preventing me from ending my carb addiction.

[@NaseemMatteson]

OMG! You need to be heard all over! This is sooooo on point! Thank YOU!

[@Michael-qi1ij]

Thanks for spittin the real game Dr B!

[@agnescleary2312]

For me, the social pressure from family is intense. They're all still following the gospel of low fat & I find I can't enjoy a meal with most of them because they spend the whole time telling me how awful keto/carnivore is, how I'm killing myself, etc. I miss the social aspect of eating with other people, but the constant negativity spoils it for me.

[@terrifraser9085]

I just finally realized that it will be a constant battle to fight the cravings, boredom, big junk companies, family, friends and sometimes feeling sorry for myself because I do not eat starch/sugar/alcohol. I've been keto for 4 years and it does not get easier...but I have learned to ride the waves out and defeat the cravings. Just don't put it in your mouth, that's all there is to it. Do it for your best health and be strong, it's worth it. :)

[@Aurora-uh9nk]

Damm 4 yrs and it does not get easier 😂😂😂

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

I can’t fight it for 2 yrs even. If I’m still fighting in a few mos, I’ll have to stop. I don’t have the strength. My life requires all my strength I have. No extra left. I’m taking from other areas to try to get thru this now. That’s only a short term hack and then I have to give the areas back.

[@janewilliams4119]

Thank you for Robert Cywes ✌️

[@roberthardy6390]

Dr Berry I’m down 23 pounds in 5 weeks thank you. I always keep hard boiled eggs on hand so when I get a hunger pain an egg and a little hot sauce cures me 🙂

[@Ladydessa]

Alcohol, stress, bad sleeping habits and boredom. This the battle of million peoples around the world. The real irony is the half of the world is starving and the other one is trying to lose weight. 😔

[@cps_Zen_Run]

Currently, far more die from overeating complications than from starvation.

[@diannejewell4410]

[@kathygritzmacher90]

Thank God for you and Neisha

[@Metarig]

it's wired some people can't stand the keto eating of others as if they are offended. it's really mysterious to me

[@bettylane6982]

My failure is not being prepared to eat quality food. So I grab microwaveable junk that is prepared with lots of non-nutrient garbage. I’m getting better at being prepared even if it’s a can of tuna fish or sardines or frozen hamburger patties I can quickly prepare. After a 24 hour fast, you need to be prepared or you’ll eat anything, even junk. Thank you for helping us stay carnovore and healthy.

[@peterlutz7191]

Hi, my name is Pete and I'm a sugar/carbohydrate addict.

[@JoshuaMuse]

Sugar (all forms) is a drug. Why else do food companies put it in everything? They know it is addictive.

[@Jeff.78]

I consider sugar a long-term poison and a drug that is more addictive than some actual illicit drugs. Just because it tastes good, doesn't mean it's healthy and many people don't understand that or they refuse to accept it. Sugar is the real gateway drug and if you want proof, deny a toddler something sweet and watch the tantrum erupt.

[@sophie.v.]

So good Dr. Berry!! Thank you for this video
