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!!!

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).

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

Grocery shopping can be a pitfall for carb lovers! When I go grocery shopping there are aisles that I will not go down because they are all filled with junk food.

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.

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.

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

1:58 "It's So much easier to win a battle when you actually know who your real enemies are" That's some level 5 Sun-Tzu Machiavellian Marcus Aurelius thinking right there. !!!

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...

Oh my god, when he was talking about walking into the kitchen with deficiencies... The last two days, I had chocolate cravings so bad (and I'm pregnant) that it triggered a meltdown. Like unrealistic response to food. Crying, angry, just acting like a toddler because I wouldn't eat sugary chocolate. Today, when I felt that coming on, I had a cup of black coffee instead and it disappeared! Magnesium deficiency is something I am going to mention to my dr at my next appt. Knowing where the cravings come from are SO helpful.

Weight loss plateaus is what I struggle with most..

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.

Keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer.

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 👍🏻

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. :)

The only thing I consumed was coffee no sugar with a little cream 4 cups a day, beef broth and water, no carbs I don't have a sugar addiction at all. I also don't eat any vegetables or fruits they taste terrible to me,I don't exercise but I am stuck. Thank you for your time.

We lost connection to ourselves and forgot how to "human" 😁 trying to hack and improve on nature is so miserable.

Yap. We're so smart that we can rationalize our instincts and choose to ignore them.

my enemy is also boredom 😣 especially these days.....

Thank you once again. My husband and I both have lost 32 lbs each with Keto. Been doing it almost 6 months. It works.

Negative emotions and/or depression.

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

Childhood memories is a strong pull - donuts from the local bakery, candy from the candy shop, coney dogs, corn dogs, burgers, onion rings and root beer at the root beer stand, frozen custard made fresh. An enjoyable recollection of childhood, for me, is tied to these unhealthy (carb loaded) foods.

Cream horns (puff pastry with mock cream) were my weakness, along with bienenschtick and a spider (fizzy drink with ice-cream) - where all my pocket money went!

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

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.

Social pressure suck. I do industrial mechanical work for a living and often have to tell my coworkers I'll get up with them after lunch. They think I'm anti-social, but if I tell them I don't eat lunch they think I'm a weirdo. At this point in my life I really don't care unless it's someone I consider intellectually Superior in my trade and then I'm compelled to eat lunch for the social and knowledge Exchange. I just wish it was more accepted overall.

May 11, 2020. A1c @ 7.3. Was looking for help. Had been increasing for years. Found Dr. Berry. Went carnivore. Nov 13, 2020. A1c @ 5.9. Have gone from 221# to 190#. Feel great. See my Doc in two days. Hope to get off Metformin and BP med. Thank you Dr. Berry!

For me one of the biggest problems is convenience. With lives being busy and people find themselves running errands or doing chores, it’s convenient to order a pizza, burger, tacos, etc... there is no food prep or cooking involved. It’s all done for you and all you have to do is sit down and eat.

I keep individual steaks in the freezer and pop them straight into the air fryer. Done in 10 minutes. No prep required only some salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Great video. Another way to talk about this subject is seen in this quote: "No one can exert cognitive inhibition (willpower) over a bio-chemical drive that goes on every minute of every day, of every year, it's just not possible" Dr Robert Lustig, Pediatric Endocrinologist, University of California, SF

Depression is my enemy. I’m doing everything right but I KNOW my depression is keeping me from losing weight. But I can’t control it.

I've lost 130lbs with keto/carnivore/intermittent fasting. Since January of this year, 75 of those lbs have dropped off. Yes! It's absolutely possible to lose 80lbs in a year.

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.

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.

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.

Hello my name is Sharon and I'm a sugar addict staying on keto has helped

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. 😭😭😭😭😭

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

Hi Dr. Berry! Former patient of yours here. :) Wondering if you can do an updated video on cancer and how Keto can help? Especially pertaining to endometrial cancer and other cancers that aren't normally talked about with Keto? Thanks!! :)

Mines coffee with cream 4 to 6 cups a day.

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

Omg! I really needed to hear this. The struggle is real right now for a lot of us with food addiction.

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.

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

@Jeff.78

3 жыл бұрын

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.

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

Great video!

Thanks again, Dr. B. Seems I share your videos every other day 😆

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

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

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.

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

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!

1.Addiction (sugar and carbs) 2.Habit (reaching food ) 3.Cravings 4.Social pressaure 5.Hunger (use hunger to eat a lots of fatty meats ) Go Carnivore ! PS: To Dr Berry What advice to give people who still have fat self image and they are just subconsciously pulled to eat crap food. How to unconsciously switch the flip so they can see them selfes more fit and healthy , maybe that would speed they r way to more healthy eating habits ?
