Down to 118 mg/dL today after an initial diagnoses of diabetes 2 months ago with a fasting glucose of 300 mg/dL. All of my other metrics have moved back into green, except Hdls.

The sad thing is that many people believe that they are eating healthy food, when they're not. I was one of those people. Breakfast was whole-wheat bran flakes, with sugar-free muesli - healthy right? Lunch consisted of a cheese sandwich on whole-wheat nutty brown bread - healthy right? Dinner was meat with two veg - plus two slices of whole-wheat nutty brown bread - healthy right? In desperation, dinner eventually became one bowl of HEALTHY soup, with two slices of whole-wheat nutty brown bread - and then I noticed that the soup contained wheat flour! For 15 years, this was my pattern and I was getting heavier and heavier. But keto, with Intermittent Fasting fixed everything and caused massive weight loss. I will be forever thankful for the information on this channel!

Please stay loyal to your health. Dr Berg helped me shed 186 pounds with only 40 more to go to get the waist inches down to 1/2 my height inches.

At age 57 I was able to lose 56.5 lbs within 6 months……just in time for a global pandemic and quarantine starting March 2020. I did ok and maintained 50 lbs weight loss until fall 2020; however, mentally and emotionally it all began to tear-down my resolve. I made a conscious decision to “give myself some grace” in dealing with how our world had changed (as well as several family losses NOT due to the virus). Well, it’s a year later and I’m carrying 40 lbs of “grace” and I’ve had about 40 “day 1 of keto”, even got 5.5 weeks into a fresh start and the mental part of getting back to health is my biggest challenge. But I recall how utterly awesome I felt when my body was healthy and slender! That hasn’t left me. So I will keep at it. Your videos mean so much to help me stay focused. At the minimum at least I know from experience what to do. Aligning head and heart should be so easy. But it isn’t.

Thoughts on Cheat Days: even if it’s a cheat bite, meal or day, it can easily turn into a cheat weekend, week, month. And, remember as contemplating a cheat of any size, remember how you wanted to get into ketosis and the difficulty when first limiting carbs. Think of this and if cheating is worth the days it may take to return to ketosis. I visualize weighing the want of the benefits a cheat on one hand (short term), and the want of the benefits of ketosis (long term) on the other.

I've always had a slim build and I'm looking to bulk up a bit. Blood sugar issues and kidney problems is what made me look into the keto diet. So far,so good.

I followed your keto plan Dr. Berg, not really for weight loss, but for health, I was already athletic, after 6 months I lost 15lbs of the little fat I had and muscles, but I felt good and energized, especial on OMAD, but too many complaints from the wife, saying I look like a skeleton, but I felt better than I did for years, I'm 52 and was working out twice a day, too much cardio I think, so I'm going to do 2 meals a day, but staying on keto , it's feels really great to be in ketosis, thank you for the inspiration

Sounds like you may not have been eating enough fat during your keto.

I had to go watch this again now that I am 3 weeks into HEALTHY Keto to make sure I am doing it right. I am 56 and had Hodgkin's Lymphoma twice in my 20's. I had my spleen removed, and my body has been radiated from head to legs causing residual problems. I have fatty liver disease, chronic sinus issues, fatigue, depression, and now the last couple of years...IBS and 23 polyps in my colon were removed last year. The medicine from my gastroenterologist was not working, so I had to take 2 Immodium a day and Pepto Bismol just to leave my house to do anything. I haven't taken anything in over 2 weeks, my weight is coming off slowly, and I am not spending days in the bathroom until I am bleeding. I had given up on ever feeling better! I am actually looking forward to my blood work and Mammogram to see if I have an improvement in all of it. If you have any inflammatory issues, this is the right plan. I still have a long way to go, but I am starting to feel well enough to live my life again, including hitting the trails beyond my home. THANK YOU! My goal is still weight loss, but also to make smart choices for life.

I'm one of those "healthy" people that went into Keto and it just shredded my remaining fat in the first week. I'm where I wanted to be for years and I just keep seeing positive changes. I started fasting for 18 hours, then moved to 21 hours a day. I eat from 3 to 6 and drink lemon water, and water for the rest of the day. I had no idea what I was getting myself into but I came into this prepared. NO cheat days. Know your goal. Picture your body and how you want it and PUSH THROUGH. Thank you Dr. Berg

I was just in Sam's club looking at the Atkins' bars and I noticed most of what Dr Berg mentioned here. I had an employer that was on the Atkins'diet and I explained to him how it's not as good as his doctor sold him on, he sounded receptive, but had that defeated tone in his voice. I don't think he wanted to put effort into his diet anymore. He was over it. On the flip side, I'm a trucker and I lost 30 lbs with keto and intermitted fasting without exercise, due to how often I'm sleeping or driving. I also told my chiropractor of Dr Berg and Dr Ken Berry. He sounds very receptive. My brother and I are going to turn our carbs down to zero with the carnivore diet for the month on January. Then, ease back into ketovore. I'm looking forward to the challenge.

Your anti cheat day stance was hysterical. I do allow myself some carbs on the weekend. I'll try to think of your "cheat days don't work in marriages or diets" next time I think about eating those carbs. Let's see if it works.

It's important to try to make your own keto snacks rather than buying them.

I've been maintaining my weight for 3 years now. My only cheat on the diet is Thanksgiving dinner and that is one serving of cranberry sauce and sage stuffing with a dollop of turkey gravy.

I ve noticed that when weight won t move I do an intervall fasting 36/12 and move forward 😊 start 18.00h one day fast entire next day and night and breakfast at 6.00 with keto

VERY GOOD Dr Berg. #1 read ingredients, been doing this for many years being I worked for a Chiropractor Physician many years ago and he was ahead of his time. He told me in the 80's that if I wanted to continue my education, he told me to go for nutriention , he told me that will be the Doc of the future, still much to learn. What he taught me still holds true today. Now learning exactly what I'm reading. Thank you for many useful updates. As far as women and men, I learned that, the thinnest women stores more fat than a man who may be slightly overweight. As far as a cheat day, LOL !! 🙂👍

I’m new to the Keto diet, I started about a week ago and have already lost 11 lbs. I know a lot was water weight but I can already see ketosis setting in, headaches and the infamous flu have set in but only last about an hour and then I feel great, honestly I’m so happy I found this channel and am hoping it can change things around for my health! Thank you for all this amazing info!! 💕

Me too I just started and I loss 9 pounds in one week

So far losing 1lb per week. 59 years-old, 5'6", start; 148 lbs, waist 35". 4 weeks into it, 144 lbs, 34" waist. Goal 135 lbs, 32" waist. No cheat days. Started OMAD in week 2.

I avoid most processed foods (keto type food bars). I have found pasta made from veggies. It acts like pasta, but is a veggie based pasta (0 carbs). Hubby and I go out to eat. Keto restaurants aren't easy to find. Cheat days might help, but they won't since I don't feel like exiting ketosis.

I have stopped losing weight the last 10 days, but you are giving me courage, I am not giving up

Dr. Berg, thank you for doing these videos.. for once I found someone I feel I can trust. You don’t charge me for information that can save my life. THANK YOU SO MUCH With your help I have dropped my cholesterol from 271 to 158! And now I’m going on a ketone intermittent fasting to get my weight and waistline in shape!

I started keto omad cold turkey 15-20 days ago now. This video just answered at least half a dozen questions/concerns ive had. So happy i started, my diet was not as good as i thought, and I had lyme disease that almost killed me. I saw a local holistic dr that helped me with the lyme to the point i believe its gone, and your videos have put me in such a better place than i was two months ago. I have energy and focus now, weight is dropping, im toning out and i feel like a man again. So fortunate i found the right people cause i was ready to throw in the towel and im only 32. Roughest couple years of my life.

I think 1 thing is missing. Too much exercise.. been on the Keto diet lost 10kg the first 3weeks without exercising.. but later added exercise every day and my weight loss stopped felt bloated, light headed, I watched one of your videos about exercise... and I just stopped exercising after a week my weight loss progressed.. been on Keto for 5months now and I have lost over 60kg so happy thanks for your great videos dr Berg...life changing.

You're changing my life every single day. I am so grateful for you and these videos.

*Very important information for anyone starting keto or want to educate himself more on this topic. Thank you for sharing this video with us* 😊

I went from 87.318kg (13.7st) to 67.586kg (10.6st) in 8 months using Dr. Eric Bergs advice 👍 Total of 20kg / 3.1st lost in 8 months. Once you're a month or two in, the cravings were totally gone and the internal disappointing of wasting all of the initial effort kept me from nibbling any carbs. It really helped with my mental health too.

You are amazing Dr!! And thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with the world!

Thank you for this Dr Berg!! Very encouraging!!! I have done healthy keto and IF for a year and there have been dramatic changes in my health and appearance etc. However, reminders as you go are always needed!!!

Thank you so much for this video. It was very beneficial. Keep up the Great Work! Much appreciated!

Thanks Berg!! This is going into deeper details of what we’re actually consuming and how it affects our keto/IF diet 🙌🏼

Really glad you spoke about the strips, I have been using them and as I have been progressing the colour is showing that I’m not high into ketosis and I have been concerned that I am doing something wrong. I’m just going to listen to my body from now on. Thanks Doc.

Thank you for this video. I’ve been on keto and IF for 2 months and I’ve had good results but I was also setting unrealistic expectations wanting quicker results.

I have just recently started the keto diet, one thing that my body has been wanting for a long time to cut the sugar out of my diet. OMG my energy level has skyrocketed through the roof. I feel like a completely different person. I love following you dr. Berg you are the best. I just recently bought your vitamin C serum and your yeast flakes. Thanks. This video is helpful

Great info Dr Berg everything you mention applies to me here at the start of Keto

I've been doing this for a while and the tips that I needed to hear most were the last 2 reminders!! I REwatch certain Dr. Berg videos often, and this one will be on my list!

You are awesome Dr. Berg, I have watched hundreds of hours on keto from numerous resources and absolutely love it as a lifestyle. This puts it all together and I truly appreciate you.

There's so much integrity in your vids. Thanks lots Dr Berg! This is my problem. I have never been overweight ever. But I got lots of belly fats. I know this doesn't add up but this is why I got interested in your vids. I bloat easily as wel maybe because I ate frequently. I started doing intermittent fasting and semi keto diet. After a couple months of doing this my weight dropped from 37.5 to 35.5 kgs. This isn't my intention to lose anymore weight. My ideal body weight is -/+10% 44 kgs. Should i find this concerning? The bloating decreased though.

Dr Berg your videos inspire me to keep at Keto Big TY , I'm prediabetic from inactivity over the last 11yrs after a near fatal car accident no drugs or alcohol involved I'm almost 61 now i crushed 2 vertebrae C5 & C6 also had 10 full days of total Amnesia scary I've come back from being a living ghost, I have spinal cord syndrome aftert the bone graft surgery, recovery to a descent level took 4 yrs , I'm able to walk and use my arms very luckily but cant run thou nerve signals are disjointed only 5% with this injury are mobile, my GP wants me to do a GTT but I'm afraid it may do some real harm as I've cut my carbs right back hugely no bread no rice no pasta no potato no sodas added Sardines, Shellish Salmon, Greek Yogurt Aged Cheeses only low carb veggies cauliflower, Brussels sprouts broccoli cabbage , reduced fruit to berries and half an apple or orange every other day initially lost 4kgs in first month I have the classic belly which is reducing 😊 down to the first hole on my belt now , started walking quite a bit now Energy level and clarity of mind has been excellent ! even managed to fast 15hrs quite often Without any side effects which amazes me as I loved a huge Breakfast down to 2 meals a day , only one day was a bit lethargic in last 2 months not even the whole day i didnt drink enough & have enough fat recouped quickly after rehydrating and eating One thing I keep in mind is it took many yrs to become like this it'll take a while to overcome that I know I'm lucky no cravings or hunger between meals either once again Thanx

This is one of the best channels ever made!! Thank you!! ✨🥰💜

I really appreciate you saying so :)

The "Cheat Day" skit had me choking on my morning coffee - that was not only a great analogy but funny as hell to boot

Been following you for years. And been trying to fast too and yes IF really works,but right I stop..its good to continue it when it really works.. I was diagnosed with ITP and IF renew our cells.. I hope you can make a topic with it Doc. I appreciate all your videos.it helps me a lot.

I haven't bought powdered protein so that's the only one I would of made a big keto mistake with. A few videos back you said it was best to avoid any sweeteners, so glad I do!!!

Great video. I was glad that you listed them all on the screen. I did a Screen Print and put the list on my refrigerator!!

Your sense of humor keeps a "heavy" subject much lighter. Great job to you and Karen.

Thank you for this video! My pronunciation is "maltofatrine". It drives my mom crazy, because she thinks maltodextrine is a great way to reduce calories. She's right, it does. But, maltodextrine is used to create hunger for those with anorexia nervosa, AND it is in all products designed to create mass gain... Basically, synthetic products designed to make you pack on pounds. And, it works. I cut out the maltodextrine, and I'm never hungry.

The cheat day part really got me, well done as usual Dr. Eric!

YOU win the AWARD for teaching the MOST CONCISE - STRAIGHT TO THE POINT VIDEO. This is incredible. I thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a great list and really matched my learning curve when I started Keto. I'm at the point now when I don't even pick up something in the grocery if it says 'keto' on it as they're almost always not keto friendly.

Great video!! Your videos inspire me and wished I had seen them last year when I started my "correction process". I had to learn a lot of things the hard way through it..but I am glad that I stayed pretty close to the right line of thought and caution before I discovered your channel. I am 45 this year and a former 11B. I have always been pretty well toned but when my 40s came, I started paying for habits a lot worse..and found weight was coming to me faster and was harder to get rid of. When I hit 240 last year I had had enough..and flipped overnight to serving sizes and throwing out anything junk.... In about 3 1/2 to 4 months I was down to 190lbs and back into boxing and working out. It was nice going from a 42 waist to a 34. As far as a "cheat day"... I have one every week (tonight actually) where I have my bowling league... These nights I go in on a pitcher of beer with 2-3 others and sometimes I will get an order of fries or a chicken wrap. I basically skip breakfast and have a salad...literally lettuce and low whatever dressing (1 serving on that btw) to prepare for my bowling night. I guess to many...a "cheat day" is that day where you kind of indulge or you let yourself off the leash for a meal and eat something you normally wouldn't.. Last year when I lost my 50lbs in 3mos on the Keto etc... I would do an enchiladas Friday every other Friday from my favorite Abuelo's. I wasn't able to eat the whole meal because I would get full on 1 enchilada and some of the rice and beans....but it was delicious and that Friday was nice to look forward to as a "reward" for staying in my groove. Eventually I got to where I skipped those cheat days altogether...but would sneak one in once in a rare while. It helped a lot as far as motivation for sure....as it helped me regulate my thought process sometimes... and allowed me to realize that I truly had the control over what I ate...the discipline to pass things up or just do what I wanted because I had no cravings.

on point for #11 for me, I suspected a few times later when I was gaining muscle and feeling not losing weight. But then, when I stopped working out for like 3 days, weight dropped dramatically like 2 to 3 pounds. I realized it could be my muscles and I didn't make that mistake. I kept doing keto + IF + light workout. Thank you for verifying, doc.

I’ve got a tip to help you use a lot less salad dressing! You could even start with just one tablespoon of dressing and put your salad in a very large bowl and toss with the dressing. It gets everywhere but it’s just a light coat. Hopefully this helps someone

Thank you Doc for this genuine piece of message... God bless you...

I was doing the mistake with point 16. Now I know why my weight loss is stalled. Thanks for the great video 👍

I love his question to Karen about a cheat day!!🤣😂I have lost inches galore but no more weight loss and I am glad for that. In the beginning I lost 14 pounds and never lost anymore weight. But I have not done 100% Keto either.

Thank you Dr. Berg! I'm 67-female-4 kids & early Menopause did a number on my metabolism! In 1995,Atkins worked great for me, for about 6 months! The only rules were to count the carbs and keep the keto sticks in the mid purple range. However, the diet got boring. Snacking was prevalent and I didn't know that insulin spikes were the culprit to my failure! Long story short, the diet stopped working for me. Periodically I'd try the diet to lose a few pounds! Now I know why it did not work long enough to loose the extra 45 lbs I've been carrying around. Thank you so much for shedding light on how the body works and what fuels and maintenance is required to run our engine efficiently! I will place my next comment in about 3 months time to send an evaluation of my progress. Count this as day one! 😂

The first time I did keto, i didn't fast. Instead, I ate every 3 hours for 12 hours. Basically 6am-6pm. The idea was to get metabolism up. It worked great. I ate breakfast at 6. My trainer had me eat the biggest breakfast I could. Then every 3 hours a small "meal". Maybe a turkey burger patty, hamburger patty, leafy greens etc. It takes a while to adjust to that schedule. I worked out twice a week with my trainer and just did some cardio and stretching the other days. I was not in good shape to begin with. I was losing a pound a day when I kept to the schedule. I ended up losing 45 lbs in a few months. I never did intermittent fasting. I am wondering why nobody recommends this approach. PS I ripped my quad tendon off my kneecap which ended that. Unrelated to keto. I'm back on as of last week. I wish everyone the best. Plan ahead! Be vigilant!

I went grainless and sugar less and the weight loss and lack of bloating was immediate. I guess I was so unhealthy, now I don't feel pregnant every night after snacking. I also lost my appetite or addiction to sugar and bread after like 10 days. I thought it would be a lot of suffering and will power but nope I feel normal eating salads steak and cheese in 2 meals a day. I don't miss the muffins and sodas like I thought I would. Thanks Dr. Berg

Thanks for the pointers in this video. Im a 48 yo female and i've been doing keto and IF since Thanksgiving and I've lost about 23 lbs but have hit a plateau the past few weeks with about 13 more lbs to get to phase 1 (healthy BMI) and then another 15 lbs give or take to get back into some awesome wardrobe options waiting for me in my closet from my 20s and 30s.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that keeps clothes from yonks ago in the hope of getting back into them! I've only started this diet a week ago and still learning and watching videos..... But I certainly feel as if somehow things are moving in the right direction inside of me and so keep up the good work and let's remember that it took years to destroy the working of our inner parts and to be kind to whatever it takes to bring them back to function properly 😁!

Thanks you for helping me the importance of reading the packages.

Not that I advocate a vegan diet, but you have to admit, you'll never hear one say "I'm a vegan, but every Saturday I have a cheat day and eat a steak." I try keeping the same attitude. As for ingredients, the first hint that something is bad for the keto diet is on the front of the package: If it says "Keto Freindly", then it's probably not.

Great information to know! Thank you so much for these videos! I've been able to keep my weight in check for well over a year now. I started fasting and keto and IF during Covid lockdown in March 2020 through October 2020. Outside gardening really helped from May through September keeping me moving and burning the fat. Now that winter is here, it's a little harder but I'm satisfied with where I am now in my lifestyle of one meal a day and lots of filtered water!

Excellent video. Thank you for all the info and tips, Dr. Berg.

I am thrilled, I have my face back, I was not overweight, lots of friends and family said it really suits you, big but, I hated the extra pounds, especially on fotos my face I couldn’t really recognize me anymore, now I can through intermediate fasting and Keto!

I really like the long videos. They are super interesting.I usually do HIIT in the morning and longer videos are just perfect.

Please can you do videos on: 1. Autumn winter keto diet what we can eat when we cannot buy or source salads easily? Meal plans for winters will help 2. PCOS video for keto weight loss - can we take Metformin on this keto diet and if we have weakness or tiredness what to do for low sugar cravings? 3. Is NIDO milk powder keto? 4. Which protein powders do you recommend available in UK? As we don’t get most of the USA products here 5. Can we consume lentils or daals as I read green mung, yellow mung can be consumed but not kidney beans, chickpeas etc so is there a list of lentils we can consume? 6. Other than berries can we have papaya pomegranate and other fruits? As I am very used to having lots of oranges and citrus fruit like grapefruit is grapefruit allowed?

Starting at 29, i got constant temptations from the starches and carb products i used to eat, even talking down by folks who thought i had no reason to pick up the diet, to which i ignore them.. onward and upward.

One question: how can I, as a post-menopausal woman without substitution, bring my hormones, especially progesterone, into balance? I would be grateful for an answer since I'm not in the US.

My mom always told me "If you aren't hungry enough to eat a raw veggie, you aren't that hungry.'

11:21 saving this for 4 weeks from now and a reminder to myself: You are doing this to get healthy. Don’t let results or platueing stop you!

I do a cheat day once a week and it does cause some problems for me. I notice my chances of getting a headache is higher and my energy level is lowered. However, the trade off is feeling as if I am living a more normal life. And also I am trying to gain weight, so for me carbs kind of help that for me. But I would NEVER go back to eating carbs everyday like I once did. I see myself as 90% keto and its way better than I used to live.

You are trying to gain weight on keto...!!?

He is sooooooo right about getting healthy first!!!! I struggled with this part. I did keto before and it fell off. That was 10 years before. I spent 10 years drinking booze and eating like crap. My body was trashed!!!! It took a good month before things really started moving. Be patient.

I am learning lots from you doctor. Added cherry, you're very easy on the eyes!

So, I got separation from my husband, who would stress me out. I started sleeping like a baby after he left, I went from a size 14 to a 10 in the last 5 months; eventhough I was eating right for the past 3 years (while living with him). My weight is still high, that's why I don't pay attention to scales, because it's obvious that I've lost a lot of weight. I've gained muscle, I've been lifting weights 👍🏼👏🏼🤗 tryna get a big booty and a small waist 😄 I feel great!

Thank you so much for your videos. I have had a complete mindshift about nutrition and it especially helps to understand how insulin works. I decided to try keto because I had extreme fatigue and brainfog. Now I feel so much better. I enjoy the keto foods. I have also lost about 6.5 kgs in 6 weeks. Previously my weight was just going up and up. Still need to work on better sleep.
