Lose Weight by Eating MORE and Snacking LESS

[@pamcadd8658]

I'm taking your challenge! I'm 75 and have just a few days ago started keto diet to lower blood sugar and lose weight. I'm surprised that I already feel better and am losing weight. So far, I haven't really been hungry between meals. I agree that it's easier to just decide not to snack, rather than give yourself permission to visit the pantry where dangers lurk.

[@carolbarnes7520]

Hi Pam, I too am 75 and in the foothills of intermittent fasting and a low carbohydrate diet. Like you I am not finding it as difficult as I thought it would be. Two things have suprised me, initially my blood sugars went up and I didn't experience any weight loss until 2 weeks in. I have type 2 diabetes and lowering my blood sugar is the main aim of this venture. Good luck with your diet. Carol UK

Every time I watch Dr Becky I learn another tip or am reminded of something I forgot. Great video.

[@wallycameron-white1126]

If you did this once a week, nobody would be concerned. By doing what you do daily, nobody can escape the facts. WELL DONE, Dr. Becky.

[@Amy-mr2wz]

I love this video because if you look at old photos from the 60s and 70s everyone was thin because we ate 3 meals a day with no snacks. I remember maybe having an apple on occasion but that was it. I am excited to do this challenge. Thank you Dr. Becky!

[@karenewing5262]

Logically it makes sense. And I have been trying. The problem isn’t being hungry, eating better is definitely filling. It’s the emotional struggle. Like I’m full but not happy. I know that’s the addiction talking. But I keep coming back to “what’s the point of living longer if you’re not happy”?

[@sunkissedbytmh3219]

I feel you. Depending on how much weight I need to lose it can very discouraging. You found a great motivator in this post. Hold on it gets better

[@vk33771]

I like your perspective on not being perfect on the challenge--that you learn by doing.

[@marygilling9689]

Hi Dr becky I'm 61yrs loving your videos ❤

[@Keishapie1973]

Thanks for putting this into words. Most of us know that this is what it takes but it isn’t easy. I’m going to challenge myself to stop the unhealthy snacking and eating. I’m premenopausal and losing weight is more challenging these days. Thanks for this reminder to just keep it simple…😊

[@sunkissedbytmh3219]

What made it easy for me I'd when I realized that I had to have a schedule planned system. Consistently was 🗝

[@Emy53]

Makes a lot of sense

[@34deeps]

Not only are you smart, informative and super helpful, you are also beautiful!! Thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge and helping so many of us get our weight and diabetes under control. I've lost 40lbs since January through cleaning up my diet, fasting and exercise. Ever since I started watching your videos, along with some other doctors on KZbin, I've been able to learn so much and get myself feeling better than I have in years. Cheers to you Dr. Becky

In the UK our supermarkets are awful low fat everything and sugar in everything your so lucky to have such great choices in your stores.

[@carolbarnes7520]

Dear Mary, I have got round these problems by cooking our meals from scratch so I can control the carbs. It may be that you are too busy to do this (I am retired), but I also use an air fryer to cook chicken, salmon etc and it saves so much time. Carol UK

[@minniegibson8722]

Thank you Dr. Becky.

[@Mamoo-r2t]

Love LMNT. A game changer.

[@markotrieste]

I'm mostly on OMAD, snacking is a thing of the past for me, thanks also to your guidance.

[@sunkissedbytmh3219]

I started with OMAD but, found out that 2MAD worked better for me.

[@TheVejjo]

You did a great job on a topic people really struggle with. I have found this to be true through years of lived experience.

[@TheP.B.G.]

I had been fasting since January, cutting out all sugar and losing 23 pounds in the process (so far). As a "reward" we got a Starbucks Frappuccino and a cookie on Saturday, and the sugar from those 2 things really did a number on me! I felt sluggish and really hungry for the next 3 days straight. I am finally getting over that constantly hungry feeling and I never want to feel that way again! I am done with sugar :D Looking forward to your challenge! Thanks for all of your informative videos. Good luck to everyone!

This video is SO helpful for me right now. It presents a straightforward plan that fits in with my health needs. Thank you!! I am going to do this challenge. 🙂

I am going to do this the week of April 10th. Thank you for these videos

[@hymns4ever197]

Approximately, 20 years ago I heard some of the worst advice ever from a medical doctor. She advocated eating 5-6 times per day to maintain energy. Due to a stressful life and work schedule I gained weight, and couldn't lose it. Then in late 2021 I happened across a keto video, and started to try intermittent fasting. It really works! I've now lost almost 50 pounds by eliminating most snacking. Thanks to Dr. Becky and other who promote keto!

[@beckygillaspy]

Great job sticking with it and finding your path!

[@c.mareeharris4615]

Thank You! Dr. B.

[@ctnbanks8753]

I love the theory eat more snack less

[@rfoley402]

Hi Dr. Becky, Is black coffee and herbal tea (no sugar) ok between meals? Thanks for your dedication to our health. I really appreciate it and I am in on this challenge.

[@rayn1728]

I would imagine so,as there are no,or minimal carbs in them,and I have seen that when you practice time restricted eating you can consume these,hope this helps

[@beckygillaspy]

They are fine to consume between meals.

[@steviacandyman7892]

Anything you can drink during a normal fast, you can have between meals.

[@ritakaye]

Love love love your videos❤ - your ideas are healthy and honest! We are in our 70s and know we MUST change our eating habits. However… we do miss bread! 🙄 Many respected keto/low carb sites use psyllium husks, xanthum gum, almond & coconut flours to make keto tortillas, breads, etc. We are off sugar (that was hard!) and do not want to use sugar substitutes. BUT are these “bread” substitutes options or should we shun all “breads” as well❓❓❓

[@machellekinslow3244]

Is it OK to drink coffee with a little heavy, whipping cream no sweeteners between meals or does that count as a snack?

[@MyMaria1224]

Yes please let us know, love to know the answer too

[@beckygillaspy]

That would count as a snack if following this plan.

[@machellekinslow3244]

@@beckygillaspy thanks

[@jdm8532]

The problem is that eating low carb diet consistently is hard in a social setting with friends and family therefore its not suststainable in the long run.

[@heidireynolds5598]

Not too hard, really. Just eat the protein & non-starchy veggies, and skip the bread, potatoes, chips, etc…Offer to bring a healthy side dish if your family/friends do not cook/eat healthy. And almost all restaurants offer a salad & you can add some protein to it. Charcuterie boards are great- just eat the cheese/salami/nuts/olives, and skip the crackers.

[@jdm8532]

@@heidireynolds5598 great if it works for you. I did it for around 4 months and noticed it didn't fit in my lifestyle in the long run.

[@helenvangeleuken6265]

This will be a challenging week for avoiding snacks with hot cross buns and chocolate eggs for temptation. 😅

[@sunkissedbytmh3219]

True. Just think tho....you CAN have those periodically AND still lose.

[@tarekel-tobgy3664]

Hello Dr. Becky. I'm a regular viewer of your videos. I usually eat Keto OMAD at 2:00 to 3:00 pm and my glucose avarages 110 for the whole day, it is always between 90 and 120, usually never falls below 90!!! My OMAD meal consists of leafy greens: Broccoli, Spinach, mushrooms, arugula; Lean Meat, Chicken Breast, Chicken Liver and 3 Eggs. My HbA1C is 5.5, so I am not diabetic , but am surprised why my glocose reading usually never falls to 80 even before eating my OMAD lunch. So, I put on the FreeStyle Lebre 2 CGM to see what is happening and decided to see what will happen if I ate Honey, which I never do, I was surprised. If I took 2 tsps of honey at 7:00 pm, my glucose readings, after rising up to 170, falls down rapidly to bellow 60 and sometimes reaches 54! Then goes back to my regular avarage of 110! What is happening?!

[@ninamgtez]

Stop OMAD and eat more fat and some protein to lower glucose eat to satiety

[@Julia29853]

Would love to know the answer to that as well

[@Jonases_20]

how are u now daddy

[@sharonl4821]

Great information. Yes, I haven't snacked in years...but if I want that piece (and I mean one serving or less of 84% or more) of chocolate, I have it at the end of my meal.

[@sunkissedbytmh3219]

So do I

[@carolbarnes7520]

Me too. Though it still feels deliciously wicked.😏

[@gargoylz100]

I have familial hypercholesterolaemia. I have a bowl of oats in the morning, large salad with mixed beans and fish with low starch vegetables at night. I notice not many people mention mixed beans. Is this in line with what you’re talking about?

Dear Dr Becky, I have just watched Cynthia Thurlow's Ted Talk when she suggests that over 70 year olds should not do Intermittent Fasting. I do hope this isn't true as I am almost 76 and I am finding IF the easiest form of dieting I have tried and I have lost 8lb over 4 weeks. I am doing 16:8 and am following the your suggestions for healthy eating. Carol UK

[@pamcadd8658]

I just purchased the Splenda brand of allulose and was quite surprised to read on the label that it has 8 g of carbs in just 2 teaspoons! Yikes! I was planning to use it sparingly, following your advice to try to retrain my palate away from sweet tastes, but this makes me wonder whether I should use it at all. What do you advise?

[@steviacandyman7892]

You may want to try something I use called Sucradrops. They are pure sucralose (Splenda), but without the fillers like maltodextrin found in the powder version. One drop = 1 tsp of sweetener. It is truly 0 carbs.

[@4reallifeplanning]

Question. I need to lose weight mainly because my family medical history is not the greatest. I am new to menopause and the belly fat is so annoying! I want to do keto BUT I am not a huge fan of meat. I will eat ham, turkey breast and chicken breast, all in small portions. I will also eat ground burger at times. I also HATE seafood. How does someone like me do keto or low carb when I don’t eat much meat?

[@michellebarrow9658]

What should I substitute avocado and coconut with? I do not tolerate either but want to try the Keto diet

[@nancybrewer8494]

I signed up for the 21 day keto challenge. I'm really excited to do it, but I have one question. I don't drink coffee. What do I substitute for the coffee with extra fat? Coffee is a big part of multiple meals and I have not been able to find the answer on your website.

Okay, kicking and screaming, "I don't want to! " I started 20gm carb daily eating 10 days ago. Actually, it's not that bad. Don't eat anything with more than 5gm carbs. Wrote out 3x5 card with 0 to 5 carb foods I like and serving size. Chicken is not on the list. Why do all dieticians push f-ing chicken.

[@max410]

I eat a pretty big breakfast and a decent size dinner my lunch however because I'm working at that time is usually just a quarter cup of nuts, a celery stick or two or a few carrot stick and maybe a few pork rinds,I wonder if this is considered snacking, but I noticed that when I skipped having lunch altogether the next day I'll gain 3 pounds, so the next day I'll have my snack lunch again and the very next day I'll lose the 3 pounds I gained, is like intermittent fasting doesn't work for me.

Love your channel but awhile ago you suggested 2 books, Eat Fat Get Thin,Fat for Fuel. These books are not for regular people and their families. They are unbelievably undoable. I’d like a book,cookbook with regular items to make food families can eat. Bee pollen, shark, duck, marlin, the list goes on and on of VERY expensive, awful tasting list of foods are crazy. I like things you usually suggest but these two books are awful. Do you really eat like these books suggest? I’d lose weight because I’d starve to death. This lifestyle has to be doable. These books are not!
