Dr. Becky, I have a question for you about bread. Have you ever heard of sprouted bread supposedly made from organic whole grain and other organic ingredients? My question is, will this supplement for white flour bread? It still has carbs though, like 20g per slice. I prefer this over white bread but I may be barking at the moon and just wishful thinking on my part. What do you recommend?

I am a new retiree from nursing. The stresses were so great I alternated ambien, Xanax and melatonin for sleep. I have eliminated all and I sleep much better these days. But a big problem was the melatonin. I started a yoga practice and I had balance issues with dizziness. All gone after 1 month without melatonin. Just had to share my good news!

I'm a fem turning 76 this summer. This diet works. Started 4/12/21 189lb. On 40th day I've lost 20lb. Daily cals betw 1200-1400; carbs at 25% max. Kept food diary. No sugar absolute. Target 155 lb. Clothes now loose noticeably. I'll update.Many thanks to Dr. Becky.

Exactly Becky. , I was 63 years old weighted 345 pounds went keto and lost 50 pounds and plateaued at 295, started intermittently fasting and lost another 20 pounds and still losing weight . This happened over a span of 1-1/2 years. I will continue wi the healthy rate of weight loss. ( slow and steady) Absolutely no refined carbs at all in my eating and no calorie counting. I am a big man and want to continue to lose weight until I weight 240 pounds. Although the I don’t watch the scale, I just look in the mirror every morning admiring my transformation and enjoy I well I feel . Feeling great and healthy.

Thank you for your continuing motivational videos. Being 62 I am even more aware how easy it is to fall into previous bad eating habits. Thank you for keeping me on track🤗🤗

Thank you for sharing your subscribers success stories. Reading these gave me happy tears for them and is encouraging me to get myself out of this slump. 62 years old, overweight and tired. I'm jumping on the weight loss train! Thank you Dr.!

What a wonderful inspiring video. I turned 65 last year and have several serious health issues. I now understand that my "mindset" is the number one obstacle to weight loss and improved health. Thank you!

Thank you for addressing over 60 weight loss! New sub here, at 65 weight watchers clicked for me, Iam down 42 lbs, it def is a mind game, some days Iam more focused than others, but losing weight is more about food intake than exercise.

I'm a 72 year old male who's been on the LCHF lifestyle for 14 months. I've lost 55 pounds and improved blood conditions. Key to my success is my spouse of 49 years. Key supporter! Both of us are still very active.

I've lost over 40 lbs since age 80 with intermittent fasting. I rely on keto diet but do not rely heavily on red meat. For meat I try to rely mainly on poultry and fish. Since age 40 (now 81) I've lost 110 lbs and now hover between 145 & 150. When I hit 150 I resume fasting but do take coconut oil or MCT oil during fast.

I am a 63 year old healthcare provider (Optometrist). I have lost 80 lbs (similar to your husband’s story). I no longer need my CPAP for sleep apnea, off the 2 meds I was using for hypertension and A1c down from 9.9 to 4.9 without medication. In fact I take no medication of any kind now. I lost 50 lbs in the first 5 months and additional 30 over the next 3-4 months. I did LCHF and intermittent fasting and still do. My only regret is that I didn’t know to try this 15-20 years ago. “2 Fit Docs” and your individual channel have both been a great source inspiration and support in my journey. Thank you!

I am 63 and have had the same experience. Over the last 25 years I have had very little activity, WAY too much carb rich food and craft beer! I have undone 25 years of poor diet choices in 6 months with Keto and IF! All thanks to the principles taught by Becky and Keith. Better yet, I have learned how to manage my diet for a healthier last 3rd of my life! I too wish I would have known about this 20 years ago! Even better, several friends and family have reversed their issues based on my experience. How is this process still considered "underground" or at best, "alternative"?

I watch your videos occasionally and have learnt alot along with my own research. Just recently I came across a video of losing weight over 60+ . I'm 65 years old. With the guidance of your wisdom through your videos for weight loss and diet changes, I have reached my goal. Last July/2019 I was 205lbs, I craved sugar treats enjoyed rice and pasta and bakery breads all my life. Finally I was not happy with the fat I was carrying, especially around my waist line and feeling sluggish. With the combination of the 16/8 fasting and eating between 12 to 8, low carb, and low sugar and healthy fats and diet changes and walking about 7 miles aday with ease I have reached and maintained my goal of 165 lbs and back to a 32 " waist within a year. I dont feel hungry when I'm fasting. I feel great, no sugar or carb cravings, Doctor was amazed with my cholesterol and triglyceride and A1C levels. He knows now what changed :). So people 60+ get on board and stick with it!! Thank You Dr. Becky. 😘

At 66 I found the weight loss to be easy. Prior to discovering Intermittent Fasting and Low Carb I was eating way too much sugar and simple (starchy) Carbs, plus my insulin levels were very high all the time. I was always tired, my joints hurt, and I felt like my brain was in a fog all the time. Once I discovered Intermittent Fasting and Low Carb, I was so desperate I was willing to try anything. Within 4 days I felt an improvement and by 2 weeks there was no doubt in my mind that I was on the right path. The pain I felt from excessive sugar and carbohydrates (high insulin) was enough to make me hate even thinking about having them. Now 6 months later I'm almost 60 pounds lighter and within 18 pounds of my ideal weight. I've been doing Intermittent Fasting and Low Carb for so many months it just seems so natural. I'm not sure what I'll do once I reach my ideal weight, but I keep pushing as I move towards my dream.

You are the very embodiment that this lifestyle works. You look fantastic and so much younger and healthier looking than when you started on KZread.

Thanks for all the great encouragement! Your videos are always so information-packed and helpful!

I am 77 and have been working hard since retirement to lose weight. So far I'm down 75 lbs and have about 40 more I'd like to shed (but it has become much harder). I have listened to everybody and tried everything but keep coming back to Dr. Becky because she makes sense...no hype...no hard sell...just the facts, ma'am, nothing but the facts AND what she advocates is sustainable. In truth, 0-1-2-3 (along with low-carb emphasis) is the default foundation to any success I've had and in addition Becky seems like a woman you'd like to have as a neighbor or a personal friend. I have no refined sugar in the house. My pantry and my fridge stock ONLY "legal" foods. So she has had a very positive affect on my behavior and outlook.

I’ve watched videos with you and your husband and never realized how therapeutic it was listening to your voice, not to mention how simple you’ve make this journey for me to follow....Sincerely 👏🏽

One of the biggest challenges for me has been that my spouse can live on bread, candy, ice cream, pretzels, rice, noodles, potatoes, etc. and he's the same pants size he was 42 years ago when we married. His idea of exercise is walking to the mailbox & back. Not so for me. Finally, I set aside a separate pantry for my "keto safe" foods so I'm not tempted to backslide (as much!) and at mealtimes I've gone to a modified "buffet" set up. The things we can both eat are on the kitchen counter, my keto foods are on the breakfast bar, and we both just help ourselves from the appropriate area. Sounds complicated, but it's working for us.

TOFI (Thin on the outside, fat on the inside). My sister is the same, she can eat anything and never gets any bigger - however, these people as not as lucky as one first assumes. The damage is still there, it is gradually building up around their internal organs. Whilst they think they may be genetically just lucky, they are massively disadvantaged, because they cannot see the damage. As my sister has recently discovered with her latest bloods test and other things starting to go wrong. I used to be the fat one, she was always giving me dietary advice - So now we are both converts - and both doing far better than we have for years! Eating too many carbs just has the effect of making one want to eat more carbs (who could ever eat just one Oreo?). Replace the sugar and carbs with more fat in your diet and within a few days the cravings will start to vanish and you will not feel Hungary all of the time. It works.

Great video... I'm always encouraged and informed when I watch your videos.

As a plus 70 yo woman who has has been overweight her entire life I have found that a LCHF diet works but I have changed up 2 things : I have increased the protein and increased my intermittent fasting - although not for everyone , my normal fasting is usually 42 to 48 hours, no side effects, feel good and have continued to lose weight. I am more aware of what & when I' m eating than before. Have lower my BP and all lipid tests are within normal range !!

Dr. Becky, you (and your husband) really have the best videos on this topic that I've been able to find. Thanks so much for cutting through the misinformation prevalent on the internet, and motivating us--in your calm way--to do better with our diets!

Age 73. Started a vodka diet 15 months ago and began reduced carbs - ~20-30g/day, skip breakfast. Went from bmi 27.9 to 24 (lost 23#); A1C now in normal range, all blood readings have improved. I severely limit my vodka intake to 10 drinks or less daily and never before 9am. No sugary mixes - just Zevia. Life is good. And by the way, Dr. Becky, you rock. You were instrumental in my change to low carb and you probably gave me an extra few years of life. Thank you.

In June of 2018 I went to my Primary appointment and weighed 354.6 lbs at 5’10 feet tall. My cholesterol was high and pre diabetic with blood sugar at 118. I finally decided to do something. On KZread I happened to find the Obesity Code and Dr Jason Fung videos and that started to change my life. Also I am now 72 years old. I do OMAD and LCHF keeping my carbs around 20 daily. I now weigh 197 lbs. I don’t have constant hunger or cravings. I am able and do walk 3 miles a day.

I've only just found Dr Becky on KZread and she is the perfect mentor for healthy eating. Your calm and common sense approach to weight loss and healthy eating instils confidence in me. I have always been in a healthy weight range, I am 60 years old, 160cm tall and currently weigh 60Kg. (Too many sixes in there!) My problem is that I can no longer fit into most of my jeans and pants which is demoralizing. Most of my weight gain has been over the past two years. So, I am going to try reducing carbs and see what happens. I have never been addicted to sugar but have enjoyed the occasional sweet biscuit or piece of cake. I also enjoy a glass of wine with cheese and crackers a few times per week, I think that might have to change. I love watching your videos, I always gets something new out of them. Thanks Becky.

I really like your practical advice, which can be applied even to those of us following Weight Watchers. I eat 1/4 of an avocado per day most days. And listening to your discussion on sugar is enough to make me afraid of it.

I’ve always liked salads and vegetables and not been much of a pasta and bread fan but haven’t cut out carbs like fruits and beans.

Years ago, I did the Adkins Protein Diet with carbs under 25. I lost from 181 to 134, before the wheels came off. I was an early 40's 5'8" male. At that time, the trouble became that I got addicted to Adkins and losing weight. I literally couldn't stop. In high school, I wrestled at 136 and remember struggling mightily to make that weight. I was a normally fit athlete at 142 pounds. Then, in my 40's, I loved it when women told me, "You have the body of a teenager..." Now Keto is easy for me at 68, but I hope the old addiction doesn't come back. I weigh 149 at the moment... -

Hi Dr Becky, I have been following your channel for a couple months now and I have lost eight of the 10 pounds I want to lose. I signed up for your 21 day keto challenge and really enjoy the recipes. I love your approach to different subjects and you make it very easy to understand Keto and all the other subjects. They’re also short and sweet. And a previous info about cholesterol you suggested to get an NMR test to understand particles of our cholesterol. I had that done and found my LDLP is 1323, my LDLcis 167, my HDLC is 91, with my total cholesterol being 274, which is an increase from 258 six months ago and before I was on keto. My triglycerides are 78. The size of my LDL is 21.7. I’m not on any medication and weigh 114 pounds. I’m in my early 60s so this video was great today. Because of my age I also had all of my hormones checked and they are all in perfect range where they should be. I exercise regularly with cardio and light weights. Do you have any suggestions for me to get that LDL size bigger and lower that P particles? I’ve been on clean keto for 60 days with great results and I hate to stop now.

If not, you can start with my cholesterol video here on KZread: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aZt8kriykpy3gbA.html

Wonderful! Congratulations, Tracey!

Dr becky I'm Sixty four now and have lost 28kbs in six months via cutting out 90 percent of what I used to eat.... No bread no crisps or cakes or biscuits or processed meats and meals... I haven't found it to be as hard as I thought to be honest, I do have apples twice or three times a week and add to porridge in the morning too.. But have cut down on dried fruits a bit as they are full Of sugar too.. I was a comfort eater all my life but do feel better now and thanks paula in the uk

Great info. Thanks. ...and you’re a bombshell.

I'm 63 I weighed 208 lbs now I'm at 172 , I've been on Keto for 6 mths after a rough start I am now at the point where I do it automatically along with intermittent fasting I never feel hungry I will keep doing keto as I get to eat lots of great meals and don't crave carbs at all .

Thank you for this inspiring video Dr Becky,so very interesting .....

Dr. Becky. I Started using your advice and I have been successful for 2 weeks. This is the first time in many years that i lasted longer than a few days on a diet or even IF by itself. Now, I am doing low carb with intermittent fasting as you suggested. I am 82 and going a little more gradually than someone younger might. I am at 13 hours IF along with about 80 carbs a day. Chocolate candy was my downfall along with cookies and other sweets. I have not had any candy for the two weeks, therefore, no sugar. I am using your saying: DON'T STOP BEFORE THE MAGIC HAPPENS. I don't always feel real well but I know it will take time to adjust to low carb eating. I am enjoying the salads. I am eating 2 smaller ones rather than the large 4 cups. I am watching the salad dressings I use. I found a wonderful Caesar dressing with avocado oil by Paul Newman. Eating low carb I am having a lot more vegetables than I ever had before. I have at least 50 lbs to lose but I am hoping to feel better by summer having lose some of it. Dr. Becky, I have your first book and it has a wealth of information in it. Thanks for everything. Lucy

I am 63 and was addicted to sugar. A pint of ice cream a day. Or a large bag of M&Ms. I gave up sugar in May and have not looked back. I no longer crave it and have lost weight. I plan on keeping sugar out of my diet.

@@michelehice8338 I'm 65 and I started June 1, 2020. I went cold turkey on sugar and foods that contain sugar. I could not "tone" it down. Chocolate calls out to me. So, cold turkey was the only way I could handle it. The first few days were rough. About the 5th day in, I realized it wasn't bad at all. I could walk right by the cookies and candy at the store and not be tempted. I also have other health problems. High blood pressure, low thyroid, sleep apnea, Lots to loose. I'm down 27 pounds, have 75 to go. 1/4 of the way there! I'm the turtle. Next week I'm going to try some gentle exercises. Intermittent fasting helps. My husband and I have our first meal at noon and our last meal at 6pm. Can you do gentle walking?

You have such a calming voice and demeanor!

I'm a 72 retired male. In March 2021 I weighed 244 pounds, was borderline diabetic, I'd be out of breath walking up more than one flight of stairs, I had sugar cravings after 8pm, and had I stomach problems almost daily. After watching several videos on intermittent fasting by Dr Becky and Dr Jason Fung I decided to give it a go. I now eat 2 Keto meals a day at 2 and 6pm. As of Sept 1, 2021 I've lost 6" off my waist, my weight is now 188, I can walk up 5 flights of stairs without being out of breath, blood sugar normal, I no longer have sugar cravings and I have no stomach problems. It works and is now my lifestyle, no longer a diet.

Dr Becky you are a veritable marvel. Well done for helping so many folk. How fantastic is that! 🥳💐💝xxx

Thank you for this video, I will be 62 in 4 months. I have been low carb, gluten free for almost a year and have dropped 50 pounds. The sugar was easier to drop than the bread, but I am feeling better and looking better. It is much harder as we get older.

@@beckygillaspy yes it just takes making up your mind to eat healthy and make good choices. I yo-yo dieted for years and had pretty much given up till my daughter and I were diagnosed with PCOS- and learned what works and what doesn't. It's still slow, but is working. Live your videos they keep me motivated and on track.

Great Thanks for the inspiration

I am 66 1.75m and went from 80kg to 67kg in about six months. Two brisk walks 3.5kg every day plus swimming. And one meal a day but lime soda any time. One meal before 8pm after 1pm. Lean is good. Plus it means I can go have a lovely meal and wine once in a while. No snacks, candy or biscuits or cakes at all. Means my BMI is mid point too. Good luck everyone.

I was a full blown carb addict. I was also vegan and became morbidly obese and pre diabetic. 5 years ago my dr told me about keto. I had to do a lot of research about eating higher fat before starting, being an RN with nearly 40 yrs of experience teaching patients about a low fat diet. After doing my research I decided to try it. I was 59 at the time. I had also struggled with my weight most of my adult life. I had been on nearly every diet imaginable and could never lose. Fast forward 5 years … I have lost 85 lbs. I have maintained this loss and am very healthy. I feel better then I did decades ago. I have totally lost my desire for sugar and my sugar tolerance is very low. I rarely get hungry and do TRE most every day. This way of eating does, indeed, work.

So encouraging! I'm 58 and this info is so helpful, thank you sooooo much! ~watching from Norfolk, Virginia~

As someone who is only a few months away from 60, but who has recently discovered your 'high fat - low carb' eating regime, I have hope that, when I do reach 60, my weight and general health will be better and I will be able to enjoy life well beyond 60! Thanks for helping both myself and my wife - we will keep up with watching your videos as they are always so helpful and give us so much information!

I have been KLCHF and ADF for most of last nine years. Will be 64 in August, and have lost 136 lbs so far. 35 or so to go yet.

Love your input and assistance. I started May 2021 at 336 pounds. Now, Oct 2022 I weigh 184 pounds. I exercise on an exercise bike daily. High protein, medium fat and very low carb has worked for me. As well as 12/12 IF

I’m 61, slowly shedding pounds, going to try adding some things I’m reading in the comments here. Oh, and roughly how many carbs are u eating daily? Thanks!

I have bad eating habits. I am going to try to change.

Great tips; I'm already working on incorporating these changes into my 59 year old lifestyle🤗👍🏼 tfs

Thanks for the video. I am 61 and overweight, but I have Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome so find it more and more difficult to exercise. From the prescription drugs from my Doctor over the years, I now have NAFLD too. I do Intermittent Fasting 15 or 16 hours a day and drink lemon in warm water on an empty stomach upon waking. Any advice would be great. Thank you.

Dr. Becky has a soothing voice.

Thanks Dr. Becky. I'm turning 67 next month and have been low carbing for just less than a year. All the clothes I've been used to wearing are falling and slipping off now, I actually like the way I look, and feel good about it. I used to weigh 270lbs and have lost fifty so far. I can actually see myself in the not too distant future getting back into my old size 38" jeans. Yes, avoiding sugar actually becomes a pleasure. Maybe I'll get off the Onglyza and Metformen soon....? Hope so.

Powerful message! This segment is really puts things into perspective with the many positive life changing advantages of being on a low carb eating plan! 👏

Beautiful station

Since I was in high school, I realized sugar and refined carbs were bad. Before I even knew what the Atkins diet was, I realized that's what I was doing. Now in the past 3 months I have been studying the ketogenic eating plan. I'm 67yo Male, I'm very active hiking, cycling and backpacking. I just completed the JMT, 222 miles in 14 days. I wanted the most nutritious food, in the smallest size and lightest weight. So, eating can be trained! Also for the past two years, I journal everything I eat, my body works good at 2400 calories aday, and once a week I check my weight and blood pressure. No weight and very health BP, without meds. The the mind is were it started for me. Train the mind and the body will follow. Thanks for the video.

John Eason ....the mind, so true!

Thank you very much.

I lost 60 lbs - to 170 - at age 65. Took a year. The key for me was ratcheting down my food intake while trying to make sure I was getting good nutrition. Now, to maintain this weight, I eat fruits and vegetables mainly, followed by dairy, nuts, and meat. One day's menu is typically a piece of fruit and a glass of milk for lunch, salad for dinner, and yogurt for dessert. Doesn't sound very exciting, but I've learned that when you don't eat much EVERYTHING tastes good!
