Dr berry can you offer any advice on my father's situation, he was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer and I've finally got him to do keto, however he is getting discouraged because he hasn't lost anything in the 3.5 weeks he's been doing it. He's in his 60s, pre diabetic, and needs to lose at least 80pounds.

[@amypelino5901]

KenDBerryMD you’re awesome ken! Thank you for all the wonderful information. I’m so grateful I found you on KZbin!

[@roberthambly]

@@abbeyguijosa8482 Dr. Annette Bosworth (Bozmd.com) helped her mother with chemotherapy for leukemia using keto principles. She wrote about her experiences in the book "Any Way You Can." She worked closely with her mother's oncologist and so should you, of course. All material on the Internet should be used for its educational value. Dr. Berrry's book, "Lies My Doctor Told Me" asks you to be gentle and respectful, but possibly stubborn, to get consideration of anything that might help your father's health.

[@maryduff8831]

I have a question about the diet, weight reduction and what happens to the "fat calories" if you go over your count? Im really trying to not over think this process but I know there are times I've "stalled" and it always happens when I stray outside of some very strict guides for myself now that I'm nearing the age of 55.

[@heyjuliebean1]

In case you don't have time to watch the whole thing: 1. Understand what a stall is 2. Don't weigh everyday 3. Not counting Macro's / tracking 4. Carb Creep 5. Don't trust Big Food Names (they round down carbs, manipulate serving size, use misleading wording and use sugar and sugar substitutes) 6. Decrease Stress 7. Optimize Sleep 8. Heavy Whipping Cream can stall (.6g carb & .8 protein per serving) 9. Too much protein 10. Too much sweeteners (even keto approved) 11. Try Carnivore diet short term 12. Try Fasting (Autophagy) 13. See a Doctor ( if nothing works)

[@fuzzydogpa7348]

I've been doing keto/ low carb way of eating off and on for 25 yrs and I have observed some things over the years with these so called "stalls". They are not really stalls, when a person is still in ketosis/ fat burning mode and at enough of an energy deficit to still require stored body fat for energy. What happens is that the body liquidfies the fat in the fat cell and uses it for energy and as this happens you will notice your fat areas looking more soft and "flabby" and less firm than they were before. This is how you know visually that your body is in the process of slimming down that area. Then the liquid fat is removed from the fat cell and used for energy but the body replaces that fat in the cell with water. This is why you might not look or weigh less and may even feel bloated and weigh more on the scale, even though you are in the process of slimming down and losing weight. This water in the fat cell can be retained for a week or two but eventually it will be shed and suddenly you will notice that area is not only firm again but smaller. Jiggly fat on a keto diet is a good sign. It's the fat that's about to get burned off the body.

[@ssergeant9682]

I sure would like to believe that. I noticed this morning that I have that 'easy to grab' loose fat around my midsection. I only have about 10-15 lbs to go, but pretty sure that's where it's hiding. I'm 65 and worried about being saggy - so not sure how that part gets addressed? I do exercise. aerobic walking, step routines and free weights. 2-3-4 times a week for minimum of 30 minutes. Once summer or even just warmer weather gets here with a little sunshine - I'm pretty sure that will help. right now - in Illinois - we're in the deep freeze. Ice storms, freezing cold, overcast - and foggy when it gets above 32 degrees. really depressing.

[@angelgirldebbiejo]

@@ssergeant9682 it will eventually firm up after the burning of the fat process. Its just during the process your flabby,when you get down to where you don't have much fat to burn you will firm up.

[@stephanier7115]

I’ve been stalled for 2 weeks and my stomach is extra soft and jiggly! I hope you’re right

[@nelliedean7088]

Fuzzy dog pa thank you so much for your inspiring comment. I think it may also be the thing that makes us think we are losing muscle!

[@JosephQPublic]

I’m not entirely sure that’s how the body works... and the body gets rid of fat collectively, not just from certain parts of the body. Stop weighing yourself so much and measure yourself. Dr Ken literally just said that as I was typing it - just measure yourself and pay attention to those numbers instead of the scale!

This is so helpful. 🙏 Thank you so much. I am new to this and 50 years old. The first two weeks I lost 10 lbs and all joint pain was close to zero. Then I just stopped losing weight. I was still sleeping well and my joints felt terrific! But the scale stopped moving, and I was deviated. I still have 90 lbs to go! Understanding how my body will lose weight in fits and starts makes all the difference to me, and I’m re-inspired to stay committed and give it time.

[@HannibalTLC]

This is awesome! I am a professor of nursing with a doctorate and I had facial numbness in V2/trigeminal nerve and some vague limb paresthesias, clumsiness walking and they did an MRI. I was told it was MS and referred to neurology. To see a neurologist (first available) took 8 months. Told it was not MS but I should be on a statin due to LDL (I declined citing literature). I’ve been on metformin since 2007 and one day, in a rare moment of genius, I was talking to students about vitamin deficiency and realized that it could be B12. Went keto, started a B12 supplement and my symptoms resolved. Go figure. 😮

Dr Berry you ROCK! I’ve just started Keto after buying into all the lies for most of my life. Good to know my weight loss is just slow and not to worry. I’m 61 and prediabetic. Your vid on type II was EXACTLY what I needed to hear. I am treating this as a medical emergency. It further bolstered my determination to live Keto. I love Dr. Hyman so maybe a duo with him? In any case you are what a Dr should be and I thank you.

[@robertprestonsr2453]

Dr. Berry: Here's a couple of my thoughts: How about a little wisdom at the start of the day like, "Ya know, this could be a really great day... Maybe the best day of my life!!" (pretty positive way of looking at things, eh?) Now, lets use a 70 yr. old male- 73" tall who 4 mos. ago weighed in at 300 lbs-- 44 and 1/2" plus waist pant size.. sedentary.. with tingling in the feet and hands... Then started on Keto and LOST 80 lbs... waist size 37 and 1/2"... walking tours twice a day... no buzzing at the extremities... and, no more eczema problems.... sleeping well and deep... YEP,,, but,, seems to be stalled for a bit... say a month or so... AND, wants to lose that last 1" 1/2 of belly waist fat... The Plateau phase, which I think the body says, "Hey, that's enough of this fat burning.. Let's keep about 20 lbs of fat in reserve!!"... Here's what seems to be the solution, at least for me... because at the plateau stage, I seemed to be feeling a bit weak and lethargic, even though I was still doing my strict Keto plan And intermittent fasting... (I also got the sense that I was losing muscle tone... maybe burning protein??) So... I very gradually began a morning supplement of whey protein isolate... (about 1/2 scoop from the can or approx. 75 calories per the label).. Plus a 500 mg. supplement of Cinnamon... And Bang!! Big energy boost... (I think the protein supplement is a better way to go than just eating larger weight volumes of meat, i.e. steaks or bacon, or whatever... 5 ounces of meat compared to about 1/2 oz of supplement.. but I may be wrong... Anyway, the belly fat is heading down again.. albeit at a slow pace... but my energy has increased by leaps and bounds.. And I feel so good... thank-you... (my personal solution may not be the answer for others.. I don't know) Lastly, I want to add a topic about health that doesn't seem to be mentioned by anyone... And that is "sexual health" and activity... Meaning, increased libido and interest in sex is basically healthy and stimulating for the mind and body... I am talking in a "decent" sense and general well-being... I will leave it to others to research the benefits of Brain activity and dopamine release, etc.. Just seems like an important but often not mentioned topic as it relates to body shaping and ego... Well, whatever.

[@NiceLoki]

I've been carnivore for 22 weeks (since 25th Feb 2024) and my weight loss has pretty consistently been 3 weeks steady weight loss followed by 1 week plateaued, but so far never weight gain. Over this time period my waist measurement has dropped slowly, in fits and starts. Fractions of an inch at a time. This month my weight loss has seriously slowed down. Possibly because I have had a higher stress week, applying for a job, going for my first interview in nearly 20 years. This week I haven't lost any weight, but my waist measurement has dropped 2" in 1 week which is huge! Also for the first time in more than a decade I have been able to put my wedding and engagement rings back on! So I will take those 2 as "non scale wins" for this week.

[@mayacrane743]

I'm doing keto/IF, started at 263 lbs. (5'5"- 62 yr old female). My blood pressure got really high, which jumpstarted me into trying!

I feel SO MUCH BETTER.

[@annietomsik3717]

It's been a year, how is your keto journey?

[@OO-qt5ex]

One greatly overlooked thing is that alot women assume they are stalled out on Keto, because they do not see losses on the scale for weeks. This can easily be mitigated by always taking measurements, rather than relying on the scale. You can lose inches, but not see the scale going down. Body recomposition is real with Keto! Something else I do, is only weigh once a month 5 days after my cycle ends. Having freedom from the scale is priceless!!!!

[@thoang101]

Thank you, Dr. Berry, your information really helps me cleared my worries. I'm 63 now and doing intermittent fasting, it was doing so well, suddenly since last week it's stopped. Now I know what causing it.

[@Bethamphetamineann]

I love what you say about the scale! Ever since I was younger, the importance of weighing yourself was influenced on me and I become so obsessive with it. Checking 4-5 times a day along with my sister before we even reached middle school. In high school, I finally reached a weight I liked and then decided I will judge myself by how I appear in the mirror and feel on the inside. Unfortunately things happen... And years later I got way too on the heavy side and luckily was introduced to Keto 5 months ago By my grandmother. And every time she sees me she lectures me on how I need to weigh every single day! I have told her I can tend to have an unhealthy addiction to the scale and she still won't listen. I weigh myself once every two weeks or so and when she sees me and tells me that I look smaller, I know I'm doing right and I just fib about weighing myself (some people only wanna hear what they want to hear so I give it to them...) so it's so wonderful to here you say how it doesn't matter and can cause stress! My grandmother and I are both on Keto and have been for the same amount of time. I've lost 40lbs, she's only lost 15lbs... (I know age difference matters) but I will be sending her this video to get her on the right track (and also she will see how wrong she is about the scale lol)

[@thaonguyen6145]

Was stalled for over two months, even a little weight gain. Finally figured out it was the slightly over a pound of cheese I was snacking on each day.

[@zanavaughn4517]

Duh!

[@kiriavatar123]

I have to thank you for this. Your the first person who has been telling exactly what I needed to hear. I'm insulin resistant woman and I have been platouing for months n I got frustrated and binged

[@jeelk8089]

i was seriously listening to this kind Doctor intently, regarding reducing STRESS in our lives until he said at 13:17 that "if you are living with a life-partner whom you'd like to push down the stairs....." I JUST LOST IT & BURST OUT LAUGHING OUT LOUD, ROLLING ON THE FLOOR!!!!! i just love his great sense of humour!!! Had to stop the video to collect myself!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@sobiyakhan1889]

Beautiful done and well said ... DO NOT TRUST BIG FOOD. Thank you!

[@annbolen6051]

I’ve been back on carnivore for a couple of months. I’ve really had it with trying to lose weight. I’ve watched my whole family eat junk every day and I’ve eaten mostly hamburger, sometimes choking down sardines or mackerel , yuck. I haven’t lost an once and I’m completely losing faith that I can be anything but a swollen toad of an old woman. So frustrated.

[@candyhart3310]

i hear you😞

[@Girltrucker05]

I've listened to hundreds of videos. This was worth passing on to my daughter. I wish there were more Dr's knowledgeable about Keto! Thanks for educating yourself beyond basic Medical school!

[@kelljohn2]

64 years old and lost 40 lbs but more importantly reversed 23 years of type2 diabetes (meds and 4 types of insulin) Is that a miracle? It is to my medical specialist and to me. I am in a stall and am now listening to this video ... thanks so much for being original and flat out honest about everything - also being FREE is a huge bonus

[@frankiedamico9629]

Thank you as an MD, endorsing this very controversial way of life. I appreciate all your teachings 🙋

[@jeanninevautrin3145]

Thank you Dr Berry. For the first time in my yoyo dieting career, this is now about my health and less about the scale. I weigh in Once every 3 weeks. I measure my su cess by the reduction of my symptoms, from Stage 3 dementia down to no memory loss. My joints don't lock anymore, no more crazy running after carbs to stabilize blood sugar. Thank you for your dedication to health. Carnivore almost 4 months.

[@ginacardarella]

great video your answering all my questions. I'm just in the beginning as a new person to this lifestyle and can use a lot of help. I was starting to feel some anxiety with weighing myself daily and explaining how a women (I'm way over 50) can fluctuate has relieved me a lot just tracking how much I eat was eye awaking I've never had to really lose weight before but menopause sucks and has really done a number on me but this healthy way of eating has helped me soooo much thank you Please do more on older women and hormones greatly appreciated

[@skyfairy1959]

I’m 54 years old, 5’2” and was 129lbs. In January I gave up sugar (I’m a candy, cookie, sweets addict), and white flour. Exercised 5 days a week, for a month, and guess what? No lbs lost, and my clothes still felt tight. So started keto on Feb1! I keep track of my macros using the a fitness app. I lost 3lbs in the first week, which is unusual for me. But stuck to it! 2 weeks in, down 4lbs, but I really didn’t notice anything in my clothes. Kept on going... 9 weeks down, and my pants are falling off me, down 9lbs. My husband has been doing it as well and lost 20lbs. But the truth is, I don’t have the sugar cravings that I thought I would never lose. The best part is I used to have stomach aches every day!! And since I started keto. No more stomach aches! We went on vacation, and pretty much ate whatever we wanted. Came home and only gained 2lbs, and quite frankly was looking forward to going back on keto because I was kind of grossed out from the sugar and carbs I ate on vacation. Its not all about weight loss, especially if you’re a person that is not necessarily “overweight”, but it’s also about feeling better, your clothes fitting better, and being overall healthier. I’m watching my parents health decline, and would like to try and get them on keto. I don’t want to end up like them. So don’t give up! Use a fitness app because you may think you’re eating low carbs, high fat, you may not be.... So small adjustments might be all you need. Oh yea, and don’t feel like you need to kill it at the gym, do CrossFit, etc, etc. Find some sort of exercise that you enjoy. Walk, hike, bike, dance........ But make it fun, not an obsession!! Just my humble opinion!!

[@mrdomino1881]

I'm kind of like you. Keto is helping me kick my sugar addiction, reduce inflammation, and trying to lose a little fat. Don't have too much to lose, maybe 5lbs at most. On week 3, and haven't lost an ounce, but I'm ok with that. Going after the other health benefits, rather than focus on the number on the scale.

[@morganbarber5009]

I fell in love when you got straight to the point! 🙌🏾🙌🏾😘

[@conniewhite5955]

Thanks for the heavy whipping cream tip. That’s when I stalled out when I started putting that in my coffee 2 or 3 times a day.

[@raewise6345]

You thought to mention several different scenarios-- midlife! woman!-- which helps so much! Thank you, can just calm down and carry on... blessings Dr Berry!! You rock.

[@junechamberlin5184]

Looking forward to hearing your take on carnivory as a way of life. I’ve been doing it for 6 months and I’ve never felt or slept better! I don’t want to go back to keto...

[@francescaa8331]

This is an excellent video, and it answers a lot of questions.. because I'm an older woman who has an up-and-down weight loss pattern. But month after month I see the Improvement. I'm just going to be patient. Plus I love what I eat! It's great to not be hungry, and still lose weight.

[@francescaa8331]

Lose It App. It's a great app for tracking your calories and your Macros. Free.

[@pamdale5672]

You have been a absolute inspiration to me. 3 days without stevia, splenda - any of it. Know what? It's not that hard? I ate breakfast this morning - 2 eggs, 2 strips bacon - and forgot to eat until dinner. I can't thank you enough!

[@dana102083]

Pam Dale Splenda legit raises insulin though because of the maltodextrin in it..fyi!!

[@foragingfleur]

Stevia is ok to consume just less of it- like a packet a day and couple of teaspoons

[@JosephQPublic]

starsgirl0414 - not if you’re trying to stay away from sweets... it’s better to not eat it than to play with fire.

[@Christymerferd]

One of those tiny pills of Necta Sweet saccharin in my morning mug of coffee doesn’t raise my blood glucose...Not much room for additives in .5 grain pills! (Pink packet Sweet ‘n Low’s FIRST ingredient is dextrose, a sugar.😱) I forgot to add. My ketones stay between 4-6 and I’ve lost 16 pounds in a month.

[@chickadeetle]

@@dana102083 If gonna use it, use the liquid---the powder has the maltodextrin. But why bother, just allow yourself to get used to not having the sweet.

[@allyouneedisluv53]

Your service to humanity is incredible. Thank you so much. God bless

[@patriciadecesare2288]

By far , of all the videos i have ever seen by ANYBODY, this is the best. Information packed.

[@Spiral.Dynamics]

I’m 44 and female. I’ve been on Keto for over a year and I stopped losing weight when my body got to the size I was for most of my life, but still 40 pounds to my ideal weight. It was like my body got comfortable again. I am determined to lose this weight and these are very good tips. Thank you!

[@Cdbd4]

Try real carnivore. Eggs, beef, sardines, etc

[@fayejordan175]

You have to be in a calorie deficit to lose weight.

[@mrslew18]

WOW! I had no idea being almost 50, having a complete hysterectomy and being a woman would stop me from losing weight. I've had so many non-scale improvements and my inflammation has gone way down. I always thought I was patient...haha! I guess I need to work on that :) Thank you so much for all of your videos and sharing your wealth of knowledge! Thank you! Thank you!

[@stephaniejones9365]

OMG This sounds like me.

[@Kuato]

The other thing that stopped you from losing weight was eating too much food and being in an energy surplus. By your logic and bogus explanations, you could never eat food again yet still continue to not lose weight because you’re a woman. 30years into the future, not having eaten a single calorie the entire time, and you’d still be at the same weight as an 80 year old. Makes sense. Must be the female thing. It’s amazing that females even need to eat anything at all then. They seem to run on sunlight or gravity.

[@John577]

Thank you Dr. Berry! Really loving your videos. I discovered you recently and have been on a roll watching your content. I am currently working my way towards a keto diet. Currently doing low carbs, high fat. I've lost 18lbs. but I feel tired from the low carbs. I want to feel the added performance once my body starts burning fat as energy. Wish me luck!

[@melanietidman407]

Excellent video~ I've been Keto for 3 years and have not only stalled on weight loss I have actually gained weight! Thank you

[@jtharp9265]

Thank you so much Dr Ken and all your very informative content 👍👍👍 I can't thank you enough , My oldest son & Dil went to Keto several years ago , and I was still with the mind set of low fat . As we were raised that way , I was never heavy my whole life , Until I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and oh my goodness, plus had a bad back fusion and caught SEPSIS from the hospital here in Texas , My hypothyroidism went off the charts . Then my husband was diagnosed with Diabetes 8.9 We both started KETO, I'm more carnivore, but I had to fire my endocrinologist, diabetes and metabolism specialist as he refused to switch me to another med like non synthetic. We have good insurance, and I mentioned your tests, and he said he wouldn't do them. My DIL is on Armor ,I'm going to her Dr. God bless you, sir, for all your hard work trying to help save people's lives 😊 Mrs j. Montgomery County, Texas 🙏 ❤

[@estherhastime777]

I really needed to hear this today, it's confirmation for me. I'm noticing the inches and I'm not going to weigh in for 4 weeks. Was doing it weekly, but it's frustrating and trigger for discouragement. Thank you.

[@BeefSaltandThirstywater]

After three months carnivore, I dropped 10kg and brought my weight to height ratio from 0.58 to 0.49. I also dropped the arthritis in my hip and most of my back and muscle pain. 👍🏻

This information is golden! I’m so glad it came into my recommendations. I’m only a 3 weeks in and apart from dropping 7 lbs in the first week nothing has happened since. I have lost 2 inches off my waist though weirdly 🤷‍♀️. I’m ditching the double cream and Stevia right this second and downloading a tracker app!

This doctor changed my life, I love his stuff.

[@davidpoynter6546]

Dr. Berry, in 2006 I weighed 485 pounds and decided to get a lap band, with that I lost 100 pounds and couldn’t lose more. On September 3, 2018 I ended up in the hospital cellulitis for 17 days at time I decided that if I didn’t do something for a life style change, i wasn’t going to have a good quality of life. My sister informed me of the Keto diet and your videos. At that time I had very high blood pressure, A1C of 6.4, hi cholesterol, and weight of 385. Today my blood pressure is at a level that I only take a small dose of medication otherwise it get to low. My A1C is now at 5.2 and my cholesterol is within normal ranges. My weight is now 295 pounds, so that 190 weight loss. I want to thank you for your guidance during this journey and I will be Keto for life.
