I remember watching this 7months ago and thinking “I’m gonna do this and then I’ll comment on the video about my success” and this is that moment! I’ve lost over 25kilos and look so healthy, lean and small again! Only problem is.. none of my clothes fit! Thankyou dr berg. I’ll be doing some ab challenges and skipping to tone up my tummy and body :)
It's so damn easy. I started 19 weeks ago and dropped 14kg without exercise and only eating once a day. Of course zero carbs, zero seed oils, zero processed foods. And eating a whole lemon every day.
@@samreenbi8693 Basically what Ronald said. No diet involved. You have to start to see sugar and carbs as poison because that is what they are. Humans are not supposed to eat sugars, carbs, processed foods and seed oils. You have to keep your insulin down as much as possible. Here's some videos that will explain it : Dr Pradip Jamnadas - The Bittersweet Truth, The Fat Lies, The Insane benefits of Fasting. Watch them in order above. Everything you've been told by food companies, doctors and marketers is a LIE. When you realise you've been lied to and deceived then you start to understand.
I remember that moment the first time I lost weight. As usual, I went to go lay down after eating until l I couldn't move anymore and started the very next day controlling myself. It took about 6 months but I lost 30 pounds and changed my relationship with food. Then I started getting skinny shamed to the point of gaining it all back but I am back at it again and won't listen to the negative comments this time. I originally got down to 5 2” 130 and am back at 160 now but will be happy even if I can get back to 150 again. It's amazing remember your moment of realizations that things have to change though!
20g of carbs? Yeah maybe if you don't lift weights, that's insanely low and would never be suitable for a person that likes to lift. Carbs is your body's primary fuel source to keep your body functioning and do everyday tasks, they're not the enemy. Get over your 80s mentality.
@@LeeEverett1 it's not for every one, carbs are very inflammatory for my body. I have more joint pain, headaches, wake up phlegmy. When I keep carbs low, I have mental clarity, my joints don't ache and no headaches, but I love my potatoes, rice, 😭😭😭 so it's difficult for me to stay on Keto, I lost 20lbs last time I was on in, but has a hard time sustaining it.
@@elenak2813 You have simple carbs and complex carbs, simple carbs are fine in moderation but your main focus should be complex carbs; i.e. brown rice, brown pasta, grains, vegetables, sweet potatoes, oatmeal etc. If you're eating a bunch of white bread, normal pasta, and white or fried rice of course it's going to make you feel all inflamed and shitty.
Summary of this video:- 1. 7 cup salad a day before meals 2. Hand Full of protein for adults.. lower protein intake for old 3. take fats ( olives, olive oil, dry fruits).. Do intermittent fasting in which one can take breakfast at 12pm and dinner at 6pm. 4. Take nutrition (vit b complex, electrolytes) 5. Don't feel deprived.
I looked 3 months pregnant for 15 years and it wasn't until I learned about curing a fatty liver, that I was able to lose my belly. I started by introducing more fatty meat and cruciferous vegetables. I followed that up with lowering my carb intake and intermittent fasting 18:6, which I now do 19:5 - that means including my sleep, I don't eat for 19 hours every day! I've been doing this for 19 months and my 103 pound weight loss has stayed off - and I never get hungry.
same here. I only eat once every 19-20 hours and I never feel hungry. You get used to it and your body no longer likes the feeling of a full stomach all the time. I breeze through each day without thinking of food at all.
I really let myself go.. At over 500lbs I discovered your channel Dr Eric. You helped inspire me to create a weight loss journey channel of my own. It’s been extremely difficult to make the switch, but in just 2 weeks ago, I’ve now dropped over 25lbs! Watch this space! 😎
I started my journey 4 days ago. I watch all of this guy's videos on Keto. I will check back in six months from now and see what happens. Being a truck driver sitting down a lot; I'm definitely taking the advice ❤ UPDATE 6/28/2023- 120 DAYS AND 66LBS WEIGHT LOSS. UNBELIEVABLE!!!
I'm done describing to my teenage daughter what I used to look like when I was younger and 70 lbs lighter. It’s time to make changes and show her what I can do!
- intermittent fasting: skip breakfast, have two meals or maybe just one meal a day if you can - don't eat if you are not hungry - eat salad and eat that first during the meal - eat nuts - have sea salt - consume protein not bigger than your palm [hamburger/steak/salmon/sardine/skin on chicken] - add low carb chock as dessert [not full bar] - measure your weight after 3 months. If it's working, stay on course. Good luck!!!
I followed the same diet, two meals a day, late breakfast (no breakfast direct lunch), Cutting down sugar, walking ~5km a day, my appetite was killed in the 3rd week of the routine. Finally, I lost 10KG (22 pounds) in 3 to 4 weeks. Hope it helps.
I lost around 50kg from the pandemic. Was 155 at 2020 and now I'm down 110kg. When shops closed, I was forced to cook my own food. And I thought to myself, if I'm cooking my own why not eat healthy. Your videos are the first ones I followed because it's scientific and logical. I did the OMAD and boy it worked. Now that things opened up, my next step on adding a layer of health in my life is going to the gym. I started 2 weeks ago and I've been consisted going everyday. You are right about making this as a lifestyle. Coz if its a way of life, its just like breathing. It goes naturally and I dont need to force it. Thank you for the tips. You helped a 35 year old guy restore his life.
I found out I was diagnosed with diabetes a few months ago and I immediately made some changes. I ditched all the sugar drinks including Gatorade, I also don't order combo meals, I just order the burger with water, no fry's or soda anymore. Small changes make huge difference, I've lost fifty lbs so far, and Im still losing weight. Good luck.
@@ShahabLodhi Reducing carbs and sugars can certainly lead to weight loss and help stabilize blood sugar levels, particularly for those managing type 2 diabetes-I know this firsthand because it worked for me.
Dr Berg, you're the reason I lost a good 35 kilos and went from a 40 inch waist to a 26 inch one.... Thank you and hats off to you for the exceptional work !
Down 44 lbs in 6 months thanks to Healthy Keto and IF. 44 more lbs to go. At 62 years old, I like to drop pounds slowly and give my body and skin time to get used to the new weight. I gave myself 2 years to drop 88 lbs. So far, I am ahead of my schedule. I already feel like a new person. Thank you Dr. Berg.
@@stockinettestitch There are no coincidences in life. I just started knitting again after 40 years and my first exercise is... stockinette stitch that I re-leared with the Nimble Needles RUclips channel. 😀
@@ombrettad5749 I lost 100 lbs without trying over a 3 year period. Ended up I had low sodium and was in the hosp for a week. The weight stayed off until this year. Now I've gained about 12 lbs. Need to get it off asap or will be back to 250. I taught myself to knit watching RUclips videos. There are several really good ones.
I was admitted to the hospital to the ICU the week of Christmas 2021 with stage 4 heart failure and afib. They stabilized me and now I am recovering with the help of a cardiologist. I have a second chance at life and now eat clean, exercise and watch your videos everyday. Thanks for all the great info it keeps me on a healthy path.
Hi Paul! Random internet person/Cardiothoracic surgery Rn here,...I just happened across your comment and wanted to say keep up the great work! You're absolutely correct, it's really about lifestyle choices bc the vast majority of conditions we treat/surgeries performed are absolutely preventable. I know it's not always easy to live healthfully, we all need a little inspiration sometimes and I think your comment will help someone out there. Continue to take care 😇
Praise God that you are still here my friend. May Jesus Christ be with you and give you much of his Spirit! I just found this channel and enjoyed this knowledge very much
Also, mixing up fasting days with a day or two at times of two smaller meals is good as it keeps the body "guessing". Doing the same thing every day at the same time sets up metabolism for a bigger fall when you stop. It's better to mix it up during the week.
This is such a great video packed with so much vital information to starting keto, explaining how weight loss occurs, everything that is necessary to get you on the right track. I binge watched a lot of Dr. Berg’s videos the beginning of this year when I had enough with my belly fat, being overweight, definitely insulin resistant and a fatty liver. I’ve applied all of his techniques and as 58yr. old woman have lost 30lbs, gone from a size 17 to a size 9, just since January 2023. I came back to this video because I’ve been stuck at a plateau and I’m frustrated. I only want to lose another 10lbs or so then I’ll be back in the 120s we’re I belong and hopefully back into my size 7 jeans. Rewatching this video reminds me what I need to do to move forward and above all never go back!! Thanks Dr. Berg
Kim Baker This is the first time I’ve watched this video and the information sounds great! Then I read your comment and am blown away that since the beginning of this year you are now so close to your goal weight! Nice going! You did say you have 10 pounds to go to get in the 120s but that’s pretty small. I bet you’re just fine now! Congratulations!🎉❤
You fill me with hope ! Originally, I followed the Alisa Vitti's method, which was the same as well... she put a lot of emphasis on the salads.. and also on a protein breakfast etc. But this is also good idea too. Am going to try a proper keto diet for the first time in my life. I do hope that I'm successful ! (I've had an operation before on ovary removal.. so am feeling all sorts of weird things now. But will definitely try this as well. I could slowly feel my memories declining.... Nothing to lose at this point. ) I went from a size 14 to 18 under 6 months of take outs etc during the lockdown which is SUPER scary. I ditched my previous routine and patterns. No supplements, and no alissa's routine and method... and I ballooned. So hopefully doing this, might just reduce it a lot. He mentioned a 6-8 gm of protein... which is a good pointer... to be honest. Something solid and concrete to follow. Takeaways and microwave meals are normally 400 gm ! 😆😁
Thank you I’m going to buy & try this! I got diagnosed with IBS few years ago and it’s been hard finding good salad dressings that don’t have onion, garlic, and other triggering ingredients. I also love flavour & not plain food or sauce so I’ll have to experiment in making my own salad dressings
This WORKS! I’ve been doing this for approximately 5 months and I feel better and I look better. I’ve lost about 23 pounds but that’s very significant because I haven’t been able to get past my plateau for over 10 years!! Thank you Dr Berg 😁♥️👏 I truly appreciate your help and honest concern
Hey good morning to Dr Berg and Everyone, i want to know and get some knowledge on omad , im doing omad but im confused to how much to eat do i need to eat like close to 50 g of carbs(veggies,and salad) for that one meal ? And how much protein to eat for omad ,im little confused I've got the fat correct but everything else im uncertain..
This info is spot on. I have always worked out but since being diagnosed with NAFLD and having metabolic syndrome I started Keto and IF about 2.5 years ago. Metabolic Syndrome and NAFLD are now fully alleviated and I’m back to the same weight I was 29 years go. I’m 47 now and currently actually 2-3 pounds less than I was as a college freshmen. Keeping insulin levels low via Keto and IF [along with exercise, getting quality sleep and keeping stress levels low] is truly the best anti-aging regimen. Dr. Berg, this channel is so valuable.
"The combination of low carb and intermittent fasting together is really powerful.." (9:26). YES! I am living proof, "exhibit A" if you will. Following Dr Berg's guidance in another video, I started OMAD a few months ago. NO snacking, no processed food of any kind, and absolutely no carbs (except those in vegetables). One meal every 21 hours or so. (I am retired so that helps a great deal as I do not need a lot of calories.) A very strict keto diet like that described above. I even switched to black coffee and stevia to avoid creamer. The results have been nothing short of remarkable. I am down 24 lbs and the lab results from a recent physical came back perfect for the first time in my adult life. Thank you Dr. Berg for helping me turn my life around!
@@elenaarias732 My eating “window“ is usually from 11 AM to 3 PM. So in that four hour time frame, is when I eat. Do I understand your question correctly?
@@sangeetaswamy441 I take a multivitamin, as well as a handful of supplements, just to be on the safe side. My diet is fairly comprehensive. I do tend to stay away from dairy, as well as fruit, as it has a lot of sugar.
Dr Berg ,you are God sent . I lost 30 kilos after my first child over a span of 10 months .I have already lost 8 kilos in 1 month after my second child . I always go back to your videos if I need to understand food in a better way .
I've lost 67 pounds in 1 year doing this. I feel so much better and I will continue to work hard and add some exercise in the mix. Thank you so much. Remember, don't give up , and you will see great results 👍
And do not add any dressing on your salad. Dressing falls into the oils, fats & grease category which slows down digestion the longest and you do not want that with a salad. Check out Food Combining for the rules, and great health. When you eat Food Combining, all your allergies go away. Along with all your other health problem.
I was in the hospital for 3 months. Had an ileoscopy for 6 months. Finally got my gut working again & have to restart Keto. It's so good to be able to come back to your channel, get encouraged to start again. Thank you!!
Your videos are helping me to get my life back, Dr. Berg. Depression robbed me of my vitality and I gained weight over a decade. Now I’m fasting 2 days a week and getting lots of inspiration from your work.
I'm so blessed to be one of your subscribers. Because of you I am physically fit now, from 70 kls down to 52 kls in 3 months. Thank you sooooo much Dr. Berg.
I've dropped 144 pounds since I changed my eating lifestyle and I'm never going back to the old bad habits. I'm in the best shape I've been in since the early 90's. Now I just need to tighten up some loose skin and try to reverse my CAC score. Thank you for constantly sharing information that helps me stay on track!
I eat one meal a day. I lift weights and I eat only meat, eggs, and lots of fat. No salad or fruit. I’Ve been doing this for 2 years. It’s perfect for me. I’m a 69 year old female. My weight is normal. My muscle mass is excellent. My BMI is 24.
I'm good with all this, and I know it works. My one BIG PROBLEM is the no fruit.!!! I LOVE almost all fruit. Banana, EWWW. I WILL keep working it bc I want to live fast, die young (well, too late for that), and leave a beautiful memory!!! NO QUITING, THERE'S NO QUITING IN THE WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY 😂😅
I tried to do Keto on and off for years and gave up. I also did the same with intermittent fasting. Finding your channel is a life saver! I'm on board 100% now. Can't wait to see results
I can’t thank you enough Dr.Berg for helping me to regain my energy and health. I’m 51 and after having a extremely bad episode of vertigo in March I stared healthy keto, I have lost 90 pounds, my sugar levels are back to normal and my blood pressure is getting better. THANK YOU!!!!
How many calories did this keto diet cause you to eat in a day? I bet you were somewhere in the range of 1400-1800 am I right?? You lost weight because of a calorie deficit. Do you enjoy eating this way? Do you miss having a slice of cake or a piece of chocolate?
Enhorabuena.tambien es buenos infusiones de cúrcuma o echarla en sopa o arroz cúrcuma para artrosis o artritis y sino tienes tensión alta jengibre si la tienes alta no .pues la sube más .que conostes y bebistes para adelgazar tanto gracias.saludos
Para la presión arterial es bueno tomar algo en comidas y aceite de oliva y beber agua y caminar y yoga y infusiones de espino blanco eso para bajar tensión.y para subir tensión café o reina o jengibre saludos
Dr Berg, you're awesome! I've been doing KETO since early March 2023 and as of today, May 30th, i have lost 35lbs...around 12lbs a month. No working out, just doing Keto. I have 10lbs to go and will do the egg diet for a few days to really get the fat burning going. Thanks again!
That’s my goal before my birthday on May 30th. I’m starting today. Can I please have some tips as to what you did? I’m overweight(161lbs) for my height (5’6) and want to lose 30lbs but I worry that 2/3 months is not enough for me to lose so much. I have a healthy metabolism and can lose weight easily but I’ve been eating really unhealthy which made me gain 30lbs in 6 months.
For the dressing stay away from the ingredients that say any type of seed oil. Sunflower, canola, etc like that. Also when it says artificial or natural flavors
@@farzanafiroz1958 Primal Kitchen brand has a lot of avocado oil dressings and even avocado oil mayo. Most dressings out there have soybean oil and basically every mayo does too (even the ones that say olive oil).
I have started this around June or July. I don't have a scale, but my body is changing a lot, visably! My upper arms, my midsection are deflating. I have adjusted to eating once a day at 3pm. I know I can have a second meal, but if I'm not hungry, I skip it. My portion sizes are getting smaller, feeling full faster. I find this to me easy because I'm strong! And so are you, whoever's reading this, who may doubt themselves... You can do it! 😁
That's fantastic! Dr. Berg would love to hear about your success with Keto! Please use this link to upload your story: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story Dr. Berg's Support Team.
I really want to try this again, but you have to get it right by such a margin. I was fairly keto- 30 - 40 g, lots of MCT, running six miles and gym for about one he a day- could see every vein and every muscle contour on my body…but always hungry TBH, and by4/5 ravenous, angry, anxious, urgent… I want to find out how to do this and still be a good person.
@@visionvixxen Maybe you needed more calories. A couple years ago I was rocking this, then fell off the wagon. Now every time I get going again, I have muscle fatigue. But, I'm also not eating as much salad as before. We're not cookie cutters so I think sometimes we need to tweak. Maybe adding something even like a can of tuna would help? Good luck to you - and me! 🙂
I had many problems trying to lose weight over the years until I came across this channel. I was amazed at how fast the weight came off and since then my weight became controllable and keto became a part of my diet. Thank you Dr Berg

Your channel has helped me lose over 12 kg of body weight using intermittent fasting in less than 5 months and I’ve been left off my high blood pressure pills. Thanks so much .
I started about 1 month ago and about a week ago started doing OMAD. Energy is up, joint pain all gone, don’t get hungry until around 5 pm, and my skin is so nice. I have lost 9 lbs too! About 30 to go. Thanks very much for the simple advice which is working!
@@OpenMed it varies but I so pretty strict keto meals which consist of meat and veggies- supplemented with food fats. While in this phase of weight loss I added a weekly sardine fast on Mon, Tues, and Wed. To date my new HBA1C is now 5.0 and I am down 32 lbs.
Sometimes I watch just because you are such a good teacher. The gift of teaching. Not everyone has it. Sort of like a salesperson that “sells” organized, topical information. Your audience actively listens to you because of how you deliver it - Not too fast, not too slow. Questions. Reminders to listen up. Practical things to know and expect. Amazing. Absolutely amazing.
I have been a follower of Dr Berg for years and I keep dropping off the wagon. However, I’m back again. Tomorrow is my Day 1 and I will come back here to update on my results after 30-60 days. I’m wishing myself the best 💪🏽
I've started my 14 hour IF with low carb low sugar diet for 2 wks now. And I've lost about 4 lbs. I have about 25 lbs more to lose. I hope this will be achieved. Thank you Dr Berg for all your videos!
It takes time. For me, in my second month of keto was when I started making great strides. I rarely felt hungry. It was insane. Lost about 20lbs. Keep up the great work. Slow and steady is the best.
@@Lee-qu4ce yeah yeah, like me many years ago. U will get it all back. Eating small portions of all foods and exercising is the only way to stay in good body and good health
Actually it makes sense. The moment you stop some kind of diet and turn back to your normal diet you will gain weight. Thats why Keto diet is Not so popular here in Germany or at least ppl wont do it bc of the bcbaove mentioned reasons
@Bambina Forever the cure is eat more veggies and at maintenance. Doing keto usually puts people in a calorie deficit by default so the best thing to do is eat your calories purposefully. Don't eat if you don't work / gym
I did this exactly 6 months ago.. after 3 weeks it was a struggle wanting to eat OMD . After 2 months I went back to 2 meals a day because I was scared of losing too much weight. My weight is steady but now my hunger is back but I can still manage my weight. Beginning weight 215 got down to 173, now I’m staying around 178-183
@@georgebarrett2179 intermittent fasting 16 hrs for about 2 months. After getting use to it I went to 20 hrs eat one meal a day. At first I’d eat about 1800 calories but after a few weeks it was a struggle to eat all of my dinner. Then I’d just stopped being hungry. I did at least try to get enough nutrients. I really didn’t cut much weight until I went to OMD.
Started Nov. 2 or 3, 2022 and have lost 35 lbs. so far. I'm doing this diet for the long haul. My goal is to lose most, if not all, of my excess weight by the end of Dec. 2023. I look and feel healthier now, and have more energy. Thanks Dr. Berg!
That’s it, I’m postponing my physical until the end of the summer. That is how long I’m giving myself to loose the 20 lbs of fat I’ve been carrying for 4 years. Love your non-judgmental voice❤
Over 2 years....I IF for at least 16 hours daily. Not always KETO but low carbs. Kept 23 lbs off.( Keto dessert daily).I stopped losing weight ( belly fat). My longest fast was 5 days; Full of energy. I believe I need a 48 hour fast once a week to spark my metabolism. What I learned from Dr Berg; Don't eat if u aren't hungry...my challenge is that I don't want to waste or throw food away. Especially after I have thawed and prepared it 🙄. If I don't plan & prepare ahead ...I eat too many healthy Snacks or Keto desserts. 🙄 Gotta up my game. T.Y. Dr Berg. 🤗
I woke up today with the motivation to lose weight and this video happened to pop up. Thank you for your content Dr. Berg. I look forward to sending you a testimony in a few months.
When i was pregnant i allowed myself to eat everything but I always ordered and ate a big salad first. After that I didn’t even want to eat the other things i craved. I felt so healthy and fit throughout my pregnancy.
Back in 1984, I started going to Chicago to see a Clinical Ecologist who put me on a Caveman Diet. Had to rotate my foods...I lost weight and felt so healthy. No carbs, sugars, white flour, breads, pastas, etc. When Keto came out I thought wow, reminded me of what I did....in away...my Clinical Ecologist was Dr. Theron Randolph. A famous Dr. Who wrote many books..was on Chicago News off and on. He was a genius,, he also was a physician, and an allergist..I saw him create miracles on people. People came to him from around the world. Even the Bush family went to him. He passed years ago and it was surprising to find another Dr. Like him. This is you, Dr. Berg..Thank you for all that you do to help people worldwide.
Thanks Dr Berg. This is a timely reminder of some of your best tips for weight loss at a challenging time of year, in regards to food, with Christmas celebrations upon us. Following your advice, I have dropped 10kg of weight in 3 months with IF and healthy Keto.Thanking you from Sydney Australia.
Thank You Doctor Berg. Three months changing my diet I am down 8 pounds. I had to get healthy to lose weight. Now I am only 13 pounds over weight. Salads have always been my favorite foods so not such a hard ship. I just consumed too many carbs. So happy. Thank you!
I've been doing intermittent fasting for almost 2 years thanks to you Dr. Eric. Now I'm fasting at least 20 hours a day and it's the best thing ever happened to me. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart
I lost twenty pounds intermittent fasting and generally trying to eat foods I feel do not spike my insulin levels high. I also do light cardio, mainly using resistance bands amd light dumbbells for 30-60 minutes a day. Trying to lose another 20 pounds! I won’t lie I gained 6 pounds back this past week but now that thanksgiving is over I’m refocusing and holding myself accountable.
I'm right there with you Monica.....going to gym first time in decades and loving it. Hired a dietitian coach for few months to get on right path and watch videos if this wonderful doctor!!!
IF + OMad rules!!... You can do it..l am about to get back to the gym..l was going strong for almost 5 months and a family matter thru me off for 1 mth but things are getting back stable so now lm back at it. :)
@@peanutcampbell you don't need a dietician coach. You have Dr Berg for free. Just eliminate all processed carbs and eat 7 -10 cups of salad or vegetables
@@Drberg HI Dr. Are there any videos on the Keto diet for sportspeople? I race Motocross and would love to know how to retain Keto but also ensure energy levels etc for performance.
Thanks Doc. I lost 29 pounds so far and over 5 inches on my waist. I lost it in 4 months. I did this following your advice. I must admit that in the beginning, when I was getting hungry, I kept my willpower through fear. My doctor read me the riot act when he told me I had a fatty liver. I was only hungry for about the first 4 or 5 days then the hunger left. I do not have a desire for carbs (bread, pasta, potatoes, etc) or sweets. Something I thought that would be impossible to give up. Sometimes my fasting goes as long as 20 hours with ZERO hunger. I feel pretty good now. 29 pounds down, 40 to go. Question - When I reach my proper weight how do I continue this without turning into a string-bean? Now, as an overweight person for most of my 69 years on this earth, that is a wonderful question for me to ask. You have unlocked the key for me. I wish you and your family a long and healthy life. From the bottom of my heart, thanks again. You may have saved my life.
I would love to experience this but also get so bored and sick of Keto foods. I did this for two years and had to live a cranky, very solitary life- but I had about 14 per cent body fat.. I was still always hungry and dizzy and anxious, but did it. Got sick eating fat…. But want to try it again and figure out how to find a happy medium. It was bulletproof coffee, mixed greens, mostly kale, asparagus, romaine, zucchini, mushrooms, chicken, shrimp, cheese, meats, sometimes nuts, avocados and tons of MCT oil…. shirttail noodles… I would do salad first…. My brain still goes crazy without carbs… especially taking ADD meds- 7 hours into it, I’m anxious and edgy until I have even a little bit of carbs…
@@visionvixxen Intermittent fasting and strength exercises (like squad, push-ups) are enough most of the time. No need to sacrifice joy. It makes things worse in a long run. And throw out those meds.
@@visionvixxen Have you tried going vegan? I’m 60 and vegan for 6 years. Normal weight. No medications. I eat salads, soups, smoothies, etc. I eat pretty much whatever I want as long as I avoid animal products and don’t overindulge in high-starch foods like potatoes, beans, and rice. I drink herbal teas. Occasionally I cheat and have a cheese pizza. It’s a lot easier to lose and maintain weight and have energy to concentrate, work, and enjoy social life without stressing over what to eat. Just leave out animal products.
I lost 50 lbs in 2018, and I was still feeling hungry. I gained 25 lbs back but I’m going to start again and I’m excited about this time. Thank you for the tips, it answered some questions I had and now I understand Keto better
Hey Dr Berg, did keto for a year and a half and lost 15kgs, went from sedentary lifestyle to having so much energy I walked 7kms every day and my mood was uplifted. Over last 2 years during COVID I isolated in my room and stopped keto eating. Put my weight back on and stopped walking - went back to 95kgs. I am now going back on keto and really looking forward to becoming energised, healthy and happy again. I retained all the knowledge I had learned from your videos and am now finding it easy to switch back into healthy keto. Starting to watch your videos daily again which always gave me motivation. Glad to have you back in my life!!! Till your next video - Stay safe!
Same happened to me but more recently. Dealing with a toxic relationship caused me to emotionally eat and not workout as much as I used to. Eat whatever I want and a lot. Haven’t gained a lot as I’m petite so 5lb weight gain is quite noticeable. But still stress so the only place I’ve gained far is lower tummy
I have used your electrolyte powder for years. Best product I have ever used. what I thought were heart tremors were from not enough potassium. As long as I take my electrolyte powder, my tremors stopped. Thank you, Dr. Berg!.
I got to testify, Keto & IF is working for me. I went to the Dr and I had lost about 15 lbs. I started this plan off in March 2022. I'm so happy! Thank you Dr. Berg so much for all you do to help others😇
I make my own dressing. Caesar dressing is super easy to make and it has never included anything with sugar...it's anchovies, garlic, eggyolk, Dijon mustard, olive oil, black pepper and parmasean cheese
One key thing I like to tell people too is if you stick to anything too hard it will feel like work! Don't deny going out with friends because of the diet. As long as you stick to your main diet when you can you will generally get good effects over time. Also, all the food that you used to eat before will feel obvious after eating them how bad they are and you will naturally not order unhealthier foods or you will drink water over soda, or unsweetened tea over sweetened tea. So breaking your diet becomes less and less a risk factor. I give myself plenty of freedom! Intermitted fast + OMAD + Intermittent Keto Mon-fri, on the weekend I eat/drink w/e I want and I find that I'm not drinking 8 sodas, but only like 2. I'm not eating a whole bag of chips but like 1/3rd of one. I lost 25lbs in 2 months doing this! Eventually you won't even want the unhealthy things!
Hello and thank you for your valuable advice. I started keto 15 days ago and even if it's hard to believe, I feel in great shape. I sleep better, I move more, I feel more creative, I have almost no more pain. Before, I was doing 16/8 intermittent fasting, so I had no difficulty switching to Omad. I have a lot of weight to lose but what I'm aiming for now is my health, and it has improved significantly and for that a huge thank-you!
As a plant based eater (vegan mainly) who has been healing childhood trauma, when my body goes into anxiety, I shift into healthy keto diet. I have been doing this for 3 years and it totally keeps me balanced healthy and in decent shape. This is what works for my personal preferences and health needs, and I am grateful for how it has pulled me out of some terrible health issues, when my body went into shock after a car accident three years ago. I have learned to truly listen to my body and give it what it needs when it needs it. Sea salt is really effective. I also use black salt but not sure if it’s recommended
@@izabelatrojanowska3388 , Yup, olives, nuts, olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil. It would be a challenge for sure but doable. Low carb vegetarian would be a million times easier especially if lacto/ovo (milk/cheese/eggs).
i had been doing omad and thought it might be helpful. But at 57 and menopausal, I was told not to keep a very long gap between meals. The whole point, as I understood it, was to keep the meals small but not to let the body feel it was in starvation mode. It was this starvation mode that ensured that you didn't lose weight because the body wouldn't know when the next meal was coming and consequently hold on to whatever you were eating. Honestly, I don't really know what to follow in my age group any longer.
Yes, my wife & I agree. This diet is configured for a Male. My Moringa, Mag,C,zinc & Cinnamon-to stabilize sugar levels, along with this Diet has decreased our weight.
For any women with hormonal pcos or menopause issues this extreme meal restriction will increase stress hormones, throwing off Hormonal imbalances more. There’s some elements of this diet to keep. Keep a restricted window from 10 am - 6 pm meals, get lots of carbs but mostly from veggies and incorporate foods fats ( you need fats for hormone production) and protein ( salmon etc)
There are carbs in those items any way. Even some vegetables have some carbs in them. I think this is all about ratios... basically... and yes, you can follow what he stated. And having a salad does a good clean anyway. Well.. we normally say "good clean"... but in reality.. you are no longer eating things which caused the issue in the first place. Just consuming more of the correct items. And none of the incorrect ones. The first time I did the Alisa Vitti method.... (She has a cycle of each week, to be different depending on the stages of your cycle.) But if you looked at all 4 weeks... it does allow you to follow protein and veggies. She advocated a protein brekkie. Lunch can be carb+protein+veggie. Then veggie at late evening meal. Or only protein and veg. No carb. So... you can always follow it, but use like small amount ? Like 3-4 pieces of pasta, even ? I also recently had an operation.. and shall try this again... But his point is that, when the body is in keto-sis... it THEN will use the fat to burn off... along with your digestion when it consumes the veggie and proteins. Cos you are not feeding it any more. So it takes the body's own stored carb. e.g. Fat/Glucon. It will mix it with the protein and veggie that you consumed.
My husband and I started OMAD last August. We eat around 3pm. We eat very low carb and no alcohol or sugar. We hike daily for 2.5 to 3 miles, every day. We have both lost 30 pounds.
Day 4 and dropped 5lbs! I feel GREAT. First thing was stopping my daily Starbucks run! I barely even crave coffee. Thanks so much for EXPLAINING what to do, how to do it and why it needs to be done 💪🏼
Not being negative, but that loss is mostly water, as every gram of carbs holds on to 3 grams of water, approximately. As you cut carb consumption, you won't accumulate water. This is why it is important to have electrolytes in keto, because the minerals that were in the "carb-attached" water are no longer there. You'll notice that the amount of weight loss will be less in terms of percentage of total weight as time goes by. But, if you persist, eventually you'll be in ketosis and burning fat. Adding further persistence will make you fat-adapted after 6 months or so, which basically means that you'll be metabolically flexible. This means that even if you eat some more carbs on a night out or so, your body will come out of ketosis, but it will be easier and faster for you to get back into ketosis again, due to such metabolic flexibility. So KEEP GOING!!!
Hey Dr Berg, I'm watching your videos from Guyana🇬🇾 and i lost 21lb in two months. The intermittent fasting works like a charm for me. Thank you so much🙏🏿❤.
The salad can be blended! I blend my spinach, lettuce and sellery together, add some lemon juice, some ginger shots and a load of water as I blend it and maybe even some avocado. The I add a pinch of salt and a dash of Stevia to taste. For me this is the optimum way of uavibg greens ❤️😀clean, tasty and I don't have to sit and chew a bunch of salad
This made it seem doable. I’ve tried keto before, unsuccessfully, but no one ever explained about lowering the fat as appetite decreases. Thanks for the video.
Thank you Dr. Berg. Your instruction is always well thought through and detailed. One thing that I would like to mention that I found out and that is, is that when I feel 'hungry', that a lot of time it isn't hunger, but thirst (dehydration) and after a refreshing drink, I feel fine and not hungry anymore. I just thought that this may be why some people are gaining weight, because in mistaking thirst for hunger, they are consuming an over-abundance of food?? Is this a possibility?
Hey Doc. Just wanted to say a massive thank you, I was becoming pre diabetic and it was really scary. I’ve changed my diet, I’m doing the the keto plan plus intermittent fasting, lost weight and look and feel much better. The sugar cravings have now gone. Thank you so much.
I ate salads for lunch and dinner with avocado to add taste for one month when I was in my twenties. I also did twenty minutes of exercise morning and afternoon. I ate half a grapefruit, one slice of rye toast with grated parmesan cheese and one cup of hot skim milk. I made my own olive oil and lemon with garlic, sea salt and cayenne dressing for one month and lost weight rapidly. Since then, I thought that this was just due to my age and rapid metabolism. From your video, it appears that I reached a high level of ketosis and realize that it was not my age but my determination because I have become self-indulgent over the years and prefer comfort to thinness. Thank you Dr. Berg. Now I just have to find that determination again.
Following you for 9 months. Lost 30 lbs. I take nutritional yeast, electrolytes, and apple cider vinegar daily. My energy has greatly increased. I went from working out with weights 30-40 minutes and couldn't wait to get done, to working out 2-3 hours, and have tell myself to stop. Thanks Dr. Berg. Mike (54 years old)
Dr. Berg, thank you so much for all of your videos I have seen at least 20 if not 30 and I have learned so much from you. I had always been 110 pounds and for about three years I lost my way and gained about 30 pounds, but I had no idea how insulin played such a large part in my weight gain. After watching your videos and following the keto diet I have lost all that weight and four months and I feel so much better. Most importantly, I have been educated on the importance of staying away from carbohydrates and all sugar. You explain things so thoroughly and easy to understand. I will continue watching your videos and have discussed your keto plan with my doctor. He knows who you are and totally agrees With all that you say. Again, I want to thank you for all that you have done for me
Excellent video. I'm also a doctor and all these things that you mentioned in your video are exactly the same I talk about with my patients. I've gotten great results using these very simple methods. I would like to add the fact, that in order to be successfull in dietary changes the food must also taste good and encourage people to start to see cooking as a pleasurable hobby. There are a million ways to make tasty and healthy meals using proper ingredients. I also encourage to have an 'occasional day off' and just kick back... just to not make this lifestyle change feel like a 'sentence'. Main thing being, that if you eat healthy 6 days a week you can afford to order a pizza or whatever (as time goes by this urge to have pizza etc does actually goes away). Thanks for your input and this great video. Happy days!
I do OMAD or I try to eat within a 4 hr Window. I break my fast usually by consuming a big green smoothie - avocado, kale, celery, Cucumber and sometimes parsley as well. Since I struggle with eating that much salad, I feel the big smoothie does the trick. I usually feel full after it and can't eat too much more after. Definitely helps prevent over eating. Sometimes I'll still then have a small salad with my meal on top of it
The best way I do it is by fasting, which puts you in the ultimate keto state. I was 285 lbs and fasted for 6 days straight-- nothing but water/ salt water. I lost 3 lbs per day, every day and was down 22 lbs by the 6th day. You feel amazing and don't even feel hungry.. I ate sensible after that and in about 2 months I was down to 195 lbs. So if you really want to kick start weight loss--- fasting is the absolute masterful way to get started.
I agree...I've lost weight the standard way and by omad....with stand ard procedures it took six months of intense running and cutting calories...with omad it took two months and yes you can see daily...I said daily... Weight loss...throw in a two to three day fast once a month and it's weig ht loss on steroids !!!!
Did the fasting not cause you to purge? I did keto and fasting for six months lost 40 lbs once I started treating myself I purged snd purged I’ve now gained 60 pounds. Please help
@@visionvixxen You’ll feel withdrawal-like symptoms for 2-3 days of fasting. Frankly, you just have to power through it. Consuming super-palatable carbs (soft drinks, fast foods, etc) will only prolong the “addiction”. It seems impossible, but you will eventually reach a point where your desire for carbs will drop off significantly. Extended fasting is a great way to reset and curb your cravings. Just do it. In the context of your entire life, 3 days of fasting is nothing. You don’t want to say to yourself that you never summoned the strength to do something hard for 3 days in a row. Once you do it, you’ll realize you have a tool to get back in the groove if/when you ever get off track again and have your life taken over by carbs and hyper-palatable processed foods.
I’ve done it gradual and done it by starting fasting. Jumping into a fast can be miserable. Headaches brain fog. Feels like waking up drunk. I found best for me was start cleaning keto diet. And eat that but as much as you want then taper. This makes it soooo much easier. This whole thing is not a quick game it’s a lifestyle So eat a ton of veggies Heck even bacon and it won’t hurt so bad to transition Then once in ketosis. It’s so easy to do a fast. Your body will want to eat out of taste and habit but your running on fat and have that constant flow of energy and won’t be as hungry Then do what you need to do. Longest I did was 56 hours. I felt great Watch dr Berg amd the delaur guy. Learn. Experiment and be healthy
This is a WONDERFUL distillation of the hundreds of videos you've done on the keto diet. Wish I'd had this 2 yrs ago when I started because I was quite overwhelmed figuring out new diet routines. Thank you!
I'm not someone who posts a lot online, but I felt compelled to do so. I can honestly say, this works. I lost 2 stone in 12 weeks! I went from 17.9st to my goal, which was 15.9st. I haven't been able to keep it off, because I went on two All Inclusive holidays, but if you make it a lifestyle change then you'll definitely be able to stay at your goal weight. My wife has also followed this advice, and she went from 11st to 8.2st, where she remains. It took her longer, around 24 weeks. Definitely try this and remember, feeling hungry is in the mind!
I lost 41 pound in just 3 month following keto diet+IF+ calorie defficit.Without your eloquent lectures ,you wouldn't have caught my attention.thank you sir for changing my life
A calorie deficit is all you need, you don’t need to be doing all the other things. Count your macro nutrients and a calorie deficit. Keto is actually stalling your progress or making you lose weight THATS not fat (making your metabolism crash)
@@Neesha242 haha same, never went the route but I went down the rabbit hole of different diets. The biggest fitness problem tbh is that there’s too much information out there 😂
@Catherine Ives lmao they gain it back because they relapse or are going into a deep defecit. If you are in a slight caloric deficit and adjusting it every couple pounds you lose, you will lose weight. It’s legit just science.
I started the Keto diet back in December of last year, and I have been following the suggestions Dr.Berg made in this video. Initially, there was no change. However, I weighed in the other day, and found I've lost 7 pounds! I'm very happy that I've made some progress. I wish I had started this diet earlier. I feel so much better eating less carbs (I eat OMAD/1 big salad a day with protein). Initially, it was very difficult to drop all the carbs I used to consume, but now I cannot see it any other way. I encourage everyone watching this video to seriously start the diet and listen to these suggestions! It really works and you will feel so much better!!!
Dear Emily:🍏🌱But one meal a day, what if you’ve got hypoglycemia? A nutritionist told me long ago that I must eat a little protein every 4 hours…. So, could it be dangerous to do OMAD? Thanks 🙏
I don't have hypoglycemia. Keto balances my insulin levels. Thank you for the concern, though. I have now lost an additional 24 pounds. I'm feeling great! 🙂
I’ve been doing intermittent fasting for 2 years and I have lost 25kg ! I fast between 16 to 20 hours, depending on my day to day schedules :) Hope it helped !
I really can't thank you enough Dr Berg, you have made everything so simple for me. Every video of you teaches something that provides a lot of benefits in healthy body, mind and lifestyle. Thank you for everything, regards from India.🙏
Hello Dr. Berg. I went from 235 pounds to 215 pounds but now it seems like I’ve plateaued. I will be more consistent with my intermittent fasting. Then I will report results again. Thank you once again.
@@mrgaguilera60 I was stuck at the same weight to so I started doing sit ups, push ups and dumbbells in-between riding the bike. I do at least half an hour a day but usually an hour plus per day on the bike and it’s really paying off. I’ve dropped from 230lbs to around 190 within a year but I couldn’t do it without exercise on top of a decent diet. I highly recommend it if you have plateaued.
Dr. Berg, this video quite literally brought me back to Keto starting today and made me see where I had made mistakes when trying keto before. I wish we could get more nutritional information put out in clear and concise ways. There is so much information that it can make your head spin and all the conflicting views have had me questioning every decision i've made. Thank you for breaking this down clearly.
My wife and I both lost 40 lbs we have plateau, but we cheat more often now that we've has great success. I plan to get serious after the holidays. Thank you for the videos.
I remember watching this 7months ago and thinking “I’m gonna do this and then I’ll comment on the video about my success” and this is that moment! I’ve lost over 25kilos and look so healthy, lean and small again! Only problem is.. none of my clothes fit! Thankyou dr berg. I’ll be doing some ab challenges and skipping to tone up my tummy and body :)
It's so damn easy. I started 19 weeks ago and dropped 14kg without exercise and only eating once a day. Of course zero carbs, zero seed oils, zero processed foods. And eating a whole lemon every day.
Plz tell what exactly which diet u follow
@@samreenbi8693 Basically what Ronald said.
No diet involved. You have to start to see sugar and carbs as poison because that is what they are. Humans are not supposed to eat sugars, carbs, processed foods and seed oils. You have to keep your insulin down as much as possible.
Here's some videos that will explain it :
Dr Pradip Jamnadas - The Bittersweet Truth, The Fat Lies, The Insane benefits of Fasting.
Watch them in order above.
Everything you've been told by food companies, doctors and marketers is a LIE.
When you realise you've been lied to and deceived then you start to understand.
@@samreenbi8693 this video just explained what to do lol
I remember that moment the first time I lost weight. As usual, I went to go lay down after eating until l I couldn't move anymore and started the very next day controlling myself. It took about 6 months but I lost 30 pounds and changed my relationship with food. Then I started getting skinny shamed to the point of gaining it all back but I am back at it again and won't listen to the negative comments this time. I originally got down to 5 2” 130 and am back at 160 now but will be happy even if I can get back to 150 again.
It's amazing remember your moment of realizations that things have to change though!
1. Keep carbs less than 20gram daily
2. Protein (fatty) eg pork: size of inner hand (not fingers) per meal
3. Salad first : potassium, C, magnesium
4. Fat: nuts, olives, avocado,
5. Intermittent fasting (IF)
Eating increases insulin.
20g of carbs? Yeah maybe if you don't lift weights, that's insanely low and would never be suitable for a person that likes to lift. Carbs is your body's primary fuel source to keep your body functioning and do everyday tasks, they're not the enemy. Get over your 80s mentality.
@@LeeEverett1 it's not for every one, carbs are very inflammatory for my body. I have more joint pain, headaches, wake up phlegmy. When I keep carbs low, I have mental clarity, my joints don't ache and no headaches, but I love my potatoes, rice, 😭😭😭 so it's difficult for me to stay on Keto, I lost 20lbs last time I was on in, but has a hard time sustaining it.
Folks, take the time and watch the video. So much more info than in this short list.
its calories in calories out
@@elenak2813 You have simple carbs and complex carbs, simple carbs are fine in moderation but your main focus should be complex carbs; i.e. brown rice, brown pasta, grains, vegetables, sweet potatoes, oatmeal etc. If you're eating a bunch of white bread, normal pasta, and white or fried rice of course it's going to make you feel all inflamed and shitty.
Summary of this video:-
1. 7 cup salad a day before meals
2. Hand Full of protein for adults.. lower protein intake for old
3. take fats ( olives, olive oil, dry fruits).. Do intermittent fasting in which one can take breakfast at 12pm and dinner at 6pm.
4. Take nutrition (vit b complex, electrolytes)
5. Don't feel deprived.
Most valuable comment 💕
What is a handful of protein ? Like 3 ounce meat? Are dried fruits better than fresh?
Dry fruit...? These are full of fructose
@@lelisbet and good oils too for transportation messages between cells.
@@VirD2023 you can get these without fructose
I have done this. Slimmed down and felt wonderful for years. Going through perimenopause now and started some bad habits. Good to hear this again. ❤
I looked 3 months pregnant for 15 years and it wasn't until I learned about curing a fatty liver, that I was able to lose my belly. I started by introducing more fatty meat and cruciferous vegetables. I followed that up with lowering my carb intake and intermittent fasting 18:6, which I now do 19:5 - that means including my sleep, I don't eat for 19 hours every day!
I've been doing this for 19 months and my 103 pound weight loss has stayed off - and I never get hungry.
Wow... amazing
you're strong
same here. I only eat once every 19-20 hours and I never feel hungry. You get used to it and your body no longer likes the feeling of a full stomach all the time. I breeze through each day without thinking of food at all.
good job
@@GypsyTarot Excellent! It really does work doesn't it? And the health benefits from not being a slave to food are worth mentioning.

- intermittent fasting: skip breakfast, have two meals or maybe just one meal a day if you can
- don't eat if you are not hungry
- eat salad and eat that first during the meal
- eat nuts
- have sea salt
- consume protein not bigger than your palm [hamburger/steak/salmon/sardine/skin on chicken]
- add low carb chock as dessert [not full bar]
- measure your weight after 3 months. If it's working, stay on course.
Good luck!!!
I followed the same diet, two meals a day, late breakfast (no breakfast direct lunch), Cutting down sugar, walking ~5km a day, my appetite was killed in the 3rd week of the routine.
Finally, I lost 10KG (22 pounds) in 3 to 4 weeks. Hope it helps.
Wow 🤩 thats awesome.. congratulations
Wow 😳
Well done Mr Khan. What was your weight at the start ?
This is just what I need. Will get it start today and share my result to aim lost 10kg in 3 weeks time

I lost around 50kg from the pandemic. Was 155 at 2020 and now I'm down 110kg. When shops closed, I was forced to cook my own food. And I thought to myself, if I'm cooking my own why not eat healthy. Your videos are the first ones I followed because it's scientific and logical. I did the OMAD and boy it worked. Now that things opened up, my next step on adding a layer of health in my life is going to the gym. I started 2 weeks ago and I've been consisted going everyday. You are right about making this as a lifestyle. Coz if its a way of life, its just like breathing. It goes naturally and I dont need to force it. Thank you for the tips.

Consistency is key. Get up when you fall, it's okay to keep getting up. Just don't stay down. :)
Thanks beautiful xoxo

Also, mixing up fasting days with a day or two at times of two smaller meals is good as it keeps the body "guessing". Doing the same thing every day at the same time sets up metabolism for a bigger fall when you stop. It's better to mix it up during the week.
That what my ski instructor says
Exactly
This is such a great video packed with so much vital information to starting keto, explaining how weight loss occurs, everything that is necessary to get you on the right track. I binge watched a lot of Dr. Berg’s videos the beginning of this year when I had enough with my belly fat, being overweight, definitely insulin resistant and a fatty liver. I’ve applied all of his techniques and as 58yr. old woman have lost 30lbs, gone from a size 17 to a size 9, just since January 2023. I came back to this video because I’ve been stuck at a plateau and I’m frustrated. I only want to lose another 10lbs or so then I’ll be back in the 120s we’re I belong and hopefully back into my size 7 jeans. Rewatching this video reminds me what I need to do to move forward and above all never go back!! Thanks Dr. Berg
Kim Baker This is the first time I’ve watched this video and the information sounds great! Then I read your comment and am blown away that since the beginning of this year you are now so close to your goal weight! Nice going! You did say you have 10 pounds to go to get in the 120s but that’s pretty small. I bet you’re just fine now! Congratulations!🎉❤
Well done Keep it up

You fill me with hope ! Originally, I followed the Alisa Vitti's method, which was the same as well... she put a lot of emphasis on the salads.. and also on a protein breakfast etc. But this is also good idea too. Am going to try a proper keto diet for the first time in my life. I do hope that I'm successful ! (I've had an operation before on ovary removal.. so am feeling all sorts of weird things now. But will definitely try this as well. I could slowly feel my memories declining.... Nothing to lose at this point. ) I went from a size 14 to 18 under 6 months of take outs etc during the lockdown which is SUPER scary. I ditched my previous routine and patterns. No supplements, and no alissa's routine and method... and I ballooned. So hopefully doing this, might just reduce it a lot. He mentioned a 6-8 gm of protein... which is a good pointer... to be honest. Something solid and concrete to follow. Takeaways and microwave meals are normally 400 gm ! 😆😁
I aaaaqa😊😊😊a
Olive Oil, Apple cider vinegar, Salt Pepper and Turmeric is a great salad dressing.

Nice suggestion! Thanks!
Thank you I’m going to buy & try this! I got diagnosed with IBS few years ago and it’s been hard finding good salad dressings that don’t have onion, garlic, and other triggering ingredients. I also love flavour & not plain food or sauce so I’ll have to experiment in making my own salad dressings
This WORKS! I’ve been doing this for approximately 5 months and I feel better and I look better. I’ve lost about 23 pounds but that’s very significant because I haven’t been able to get past my plateau for over 10 years!! Thank you Dr Berg 😁♥️👏
I truly appreciate your help and honest concern
How did you do it
I believe it’s in the video …🙃
Been on it since January 23...lost 16kilos stopped BP meds arthritis improved.. love it OMAD
@@marionsanta2883cayenne pepper also very good arthritis btw.
Hey good morning to Dr Berg and Everyone, i want to know and get some knowledge on omad , im doing omad but im confused to how much to eat do i need to eat like close to 50 g of carbs(veggies,and salad) for that one meal ? And how much protein to eat for omad ,im little confused I've got the fat correct but everything else im uncertain..
This info is spot on. I have always worked out but since being diagnosed with NAFLD and having metabolic syndrome I started Keto and IF about 2.5 years ago. Metabolic Syndrome and NAFLD are now fully alleviated and I’m back to the same weight I was 29 years go. I’m 47 now and currently actually 2-3 pounds less than I was as a college freshmen.
Keeping insulin levels low via Keto and IF [along with exercise, getting quality sleep and keeping stress levels low] is truly the best anti-aging regimen.
Dr. Berg, this channel is so valuable.
Leaving this comment right now and will come back after 3 months... Please keep liking it so I get reminded to post here
I hope you are doing well 1 month in! 😊
@monetstallion9363 yes I have lost 4 kgs so far :)
@@Sakshi-dn3xc fantastic! I'm proud of you, and keep up the great work!
Me too
Hi! Is your belly fat reducing? Keep going
"The combination of low carb and intermittent fasting together is really powerful.." (9:26). YES! I am living proof, "exhibit A" if you will. Following Dr Berg's guidance in another video, I started OMAD a few months ago. NO snacking, no processed food of any kind, and absolutely no carbs (except those in vegetables). One meal every 21 hours or so. (I am retired so that helps a great deal as I do not need a lot of calories.) A very strict keto diet like that described above. I even switched to black coffee and stevia to avoid creamer. The results have been nothing short of remarkable. I am down 24 lbs and the lab results from a recent physical came back perfect for the first time in my adult life. Thank you Dr. Berg for helping me turn my life around!
What is your fasting times take it to 20 hrs? Starting hr and ending hr
@@elenaarias732 My eating “window“ is usually from 11 AM to 3 PM. So in that four hour time frame, is when I eat. Do I understand your question correctly?
Doesnt that make u nutrient deficient
Depends on what he eats. The video is about losing fat...
@@sangeetaswamy441 I take a multivitamin, as well as a handful of supplements, just to be on the safe side. My diet is fairly comprehensive. I do tend to stay away from dairy, as well as fruit, as it has a lot of sugar.
Dr Berg ,you are God sent .
I lost 30 kilos after my first child over a span of 10 months .I have already lost 8 kilos in 1 month after my second child .
I always go back to your videos if I need to understand food in a better way .
Do u breastfeed how do u find doing these diets...do u feel weak.. do u get enough supply..
I've lost 67 pounds in 1 year doing this. I feel so much better and I will continue to work hard and add some exercise in the mix. Thank you so much. Remember, don't give up , and you will see great results 👍
Y que dieta haces y más deportes gracias igualmente saludos
Can u tell me your diet
You did this without exercising?
And do not add any dressing on your salad. Dressing falls into the oils, fats & grease category which slows down digestion the longest and you do not want that with a salad. Check out Food Combining for the rules, and great health. When you eat Food Combining, all your allergies go away. Along with all your other health problem.
good
I was in the hospital for 3 months. Had an ileoscopy for 6 months.
Finally got my gut working again & have to restart Keto. It's so good to be able to come back to your channel, get encouraged to start again.
Thank you!!

I eat one meal a day. I lift weights and I eat only meat, eggs, and lots of fat. No salad or fruit. I’Ve been doing this for 2 years. It’s perfect for me. I’m a 69 year old female. My weight is normal. My muscle mass is excellent. My BMI is 24.
Which fats do you include
What kind of fat please
Agree 100%. Especially with the salad and fruit.
I'm good with all this, and I know it works. My one BIG PROBLEM is the no fruit.!!! I LOVE almost all fruit. Banana, EWWW.
I WILL keep working it bc I want to live fast, die young (well, too late for that), and leave a beautiful memory!!! NO QUITING, THERE'S NO QUITING IN THE WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY 😂😅
How do you get fiber? Are you ever challenged by constipation or sluggish elimination?
I tried to do Keto on and off for years and gave up. I also did the same with intermittent fasting. Finding your channel is a life saver! I'm on board 100% now. Can't wait to see results
I can’t thank you enough Dr.Berg for helping me to regain my energy and health. I’m 51 and after having a extremely bad episode of vertigo in March I stared healthy keto, I have lost 90 pounds, my sugar levels are back to normal and my blood pressure is getting better.
THANK YOU!!!!
How many calories did this keto diet cause you to eat in a day? I bet you were somewhere in the range of 1400-1800 am I right?? You lost weight because of a calorie deficit. Do you enjoy eating this way? Do you miss having a slice of cake or a piece of chocolate?

I have been doing Keto and OMAD for two months now and I have lost 11KG. Watching this man's videos has changed my life.
Dr Berg, you're awesome! I've been doing KETO since early March 2023 and as of today, May 30th, i have lost 35lbs...around 12lbs a month. No working out, just doing Keto. I have 10lbs to go and will do the egg diet for a few days to really get the fat burning going. Thanks again!
That’s my goal before my birthday on May 30th. I’m starting today. Can I please have some tips as to what you did? I’m overweight(161lbs) for my height (5’6) and want to lose 30lbs but I worry that 2/3 months is not enough for me to lose so much. I have a healthy metabolism and can lose weight easily but I’ve been eating really unhealthy which made me gain 30lbs in 6 months.
For the dressing stay away from the ingredients that say any type of seed oil. Sunflower, canola, etc like that. Also when it says artificial or natural flavors
Okay give me a dressing that isn't including olive oil then. I hate the taste of olive oil
@@Jfresh55 Me too! I use avacado oil.
@@farzanafiroz1958 Primal Kitchen brand has a lot of avocado oil dressings and even avocado oil mayo. Most dressings out there have soybean oil and basically every mayo does too (even the ones that say olive oil).
@@joebuslife9275 ya totally..I just use avacado oil some salt and lemon juice...I'm boring lol
Add some cumin to that (just a little). It'll blow your mind@farzanafiroz1958
I have started this around June or July. I don't have a scale, but my body is changing a lot, visably! My upper arms, my midsection are deflating. I have adjusted to eating once a day at 3pm. I know I can have a second meal, but if I'm not hungry, I skip it. My portion sizes are getting smaller, feeling full faster. I find this to me easy because I'm strong! And so are you, whoever's reading this, who may doubt themselves... You can do it! 😁

I really want to try this again, but you have to get it right by such a margin. I was fairly keto- 30 - 40 g, lots of MCT, running six miles and gym for about one he a day- could see every vein and every muscle contour on my body…but always hungry TBH, and by4/5 ravenous, angry, anxious, urgent… I want to find out how to do this and still be a good person.
@@visionvixxen Maybe you needed more calories. A couple years ago I was rocking this, then fell off the wagon. Now every time I get going again, I have muscle fatigue. But, I'm also not eating as much salad as before. We're not cookie cutters so I think sometimes we need to tweak. Maybe adding something even like a can of tuna would help? Good luck to you - and me! 🙂
Do you take any supplements during fasting??
I had many problems trying to lose weight over the years until I came across this channel. I was amazed at how fast the weight came off and since then my weight became controllable and keto became a part of my diet. Thank you Dr Berg

It takes time. For me, in my second month of keto was when I started making great strides. I rarely felt hungry. It was insane. Lost about 20lbs. Keep up the great work. Slow and steady is the best.
U will get it all back and some more. Noone can live on low carbs all life. I warned u but try to look surprised when it happens
@@Lee-qu4ce yeah yeah, like me many years ago. U will get it all back. Eating small portions of all foods and exercising is the only way to stay in good body and good health
Actually it makes sense. The moment you stop some kind of diet and turn back to your normal diet you will gain weight. Thats why Keto diet is Not so popular here in Germany or at least ppl wont do it bc of the bcbaove mentioned reasons
@Bambina Forever the cure is eat more veggies and at maintenance. Doing keto usually puts people in a calorie deficit by default so the best thing to do is eat your calories purposefully. Don't eat if you don't work / gym
I did this exactly 6 months ago.. after 3 weeks it was a struggle wanting to eat OMD . After 2 months I went back to 2 meals a day because I was scared of losing too much weight. My weight is steady but now my hunger is back but I can still manage my weight. Beginning weight 215 got down to 173, now I’m staying around 178-183
U may like Dr Fung's videoo: "IF Diet Hacks".
I'm never hungry past 16 hours...it's very temporary. I find exercising at that time kills the hunger.
Jon grimes what did you start doing first I’m 222 and I’d like to get to 180-170 I mean can you tell me exactly what you started doing Etc
@@georgebarrett2179 intermittent fasting 16 hrs for about 2 months. After getting use to it I went to 20 hrs eat one meal a day. At first I’d eat about 1800 calories but after a few weeks it was a struggle to eat all of my dinner. Then I’d just stopped being hungry. I did at least try to get enough nutrients. I really didn’t cut much weight until I went to OMD.
Started Nov. 2 or 3, 2022 and have lost 35 lbs. so far. I'm doing this diet for the long haul. My goal is to lose most, if not all, of my excess weight by the end of Dec. 2023. I look and feel healthier now, and have more energy. Thanks Dr. Berg!
Awesome keep up the great work. YAY!!!! ⭐⭐⭐
That’s it, I’m postponing my physical until the end of the summer. That is how long I’m giving myself to loose the 20 lbs of fat I’ve been carrying for 4 years. Love your non-judgmental voice❤
Over 2 years....I IF for at least 16 hours daily. Not always KETO but low carbs. Kept 23 lbs off.( Keto dessert daily).I stopped losing weight ( belly fat). My longest fast was 5 days; Full of energy. I believe I need a 48 hour fast once a week to spark my metabolism.
What I learned from Dr Berg; Don't eat if u aren't hungry...my challenge is that I don't want to waste or throw food away. Especially after I have thawed and prepared it 🙄. If I don't plan & prepare ahead ...I eat too many healthy Snacks or Keto desserts. 🙄
Gotta up my game. T.Y. Dr Berg. 🤗
I woke up today with the motivation to lose weight and this video happened to pop up. Thank you for your content Dr. Berg. I look forward to sending you a testimony in a few months.
Congratulations...a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step...
Good for you! I wish you the greatest success! Stay healthy! Love yourself!
same here bro. This video suddenly pop up on my wall.
When i was pregnant i allowed myself to eat everything but I always ordered and ate a big salad first. After that I didn’t even want to eat the other things i craved. I felt so healthy and fit throughout my pregnancy.
Back in 1984, I started going to Chicago to see a Clinical Ecologist who put me on a Caveman Diet. Had to rotate my foods...I lost weight and felt so healthy. No carbs, sugars, white flour, breads, pastas, etc. When Keto came out I thought wow, reminded me of what I did....in away...my Clinical Ecologist was Dr. Theron Randolph. A famous Dr. Who wrote many books..was on Chicago News off and on. He was a genius,, he also was a physician, and an allergist..I saw him create miracles on people. People came to him from around the world. Even the Bush family went to him. He passed years ago and it was surprising to find another Dr. Like him. This is you, Dr. Berg..Thank you for all that you do to help people worldwide.

You can see someone's honesty through their personalities. Thanks so much for posting this doc. 🙏
So true
I lost twenty pounds intermittent fasting and generally trying to eat foods I feel do not spike my insulin levels high. I also do light cardio, mainly using resistance bands amd light dumbbells for 30-60 minutes a day. Trying to lose another 20 pounds! I won’t lie I gained 6 pounds back this past week but now that thanksgiving is over I’m refocusing and holding myself accountable.
I will send out more videos on getting back on track soon

@@Drberg HI Dr. Are there any videos on the Keto diet for sportspeople? I race Motocross and would love to know how to retain Keto but also ensure energy levels etc for performance.
Thanks Doc. I lost 29 pounds so far and over 5 inches on my waist. I lost it in 4 months. I did this following your advice. I must admit that in the beginning, when I was getting hungry, I kept my willpower through fear. My doctor read me the riot act when he told me I had a fatty liver. I was only hungry for about the first 4 or 5 days then the hunger left. I do not have a desire for carbs (bread, pasta, potatoes, etc) or sweets. Something I thought that would be impossible to give up. Sometimes my fasting goes as long as 20 hours with ZERO hunger. I feel pretty good now. 29 pounds down, 40 to go. Question - When I reach my proper weight how do I continue this without turning into a string-bean? Now, as an overweight person for most of my 69 years on this earth, that is a wonderful question for me to ask. You have unlocked the key for me. I wish you and your family a long and healthy life. From the bottom of my heart, thanks again. You may have saved my life.
To maintain your ideal weight, add more fat. My husband however has added sweet potato as his starch and he stopped losing weight
I would love to experience this but also get so bored and sick of Keto foods. I did this for two years and had to live a cranky, very solitary life- but I had about 14 per cent body fat.. I was still always hungry and dizzy and anxious, but did it. Got sick eating fat…. But want to try it again and figure out how to find a happy medium. It was bulletproof coffee, mixed greens, mostly kale, asparagus, romaine, zucchini, mushrooms, chicken, shrimp, cheese, meats, sometimes nuts, avocados and tons of MCT oil…. shirttail noodles… I would do salad first…. My brain still goes crazy without carbs… especially taking ADD meds- 7 hours into it, I’m anxious and edgy until I have even a little bit of carbs…
@@visionvixxen Intermittent fasting and strength exercises (like squad, push-ups) are enough most of the time. No need to sacrifice joy. It makes things worse in a long run. And throw out those meds.
@@visionvixxen Have you tried going vegan? I’m 60 and vegan for 6 years. Normal weight. No medications. I eat salads, soups, smoothies, etc. I eat pretty much whatever I want as long as I avoid animal products and don’t overindulge in high-starch foods like potatoes, beans, and rice. I drink herbal teas. Occasionally I cheat and have a cheese pizza. It’s a lot easier to lose and maintain weight and have energy to concentrate, work, and enjoy social life without stressing over what to eat. Just leave out animal products.
@@rozchristopherson648 don't push veganism.

Hey Dr Berg, did keto for a year and a half and lost 15kgs, went from sedentary lifestyle to having so much energy I walked 7kms every day and my mood was uplifted. Over last 2 years during COVID I isolated in my room and stopped keto eating. Put my weight back on and stopped walking - went back to 95kgs. I am now going back on keto and really looking forward to becoming energised, healthy and happy again. I retained all the knowledge I had learned from your videos and am now finding it easy to switch back into healthy keto. Starting to watch your videos daily again which always gave me motivation. Glad to have you back in my life!!! Till your next video - Stay safe!
Same here I try to restart again after eating all the bad foods during the pandemic
Same happened to me but more recently. Dealing with a toxic relationship caused me to emotionally eat and not workout as much as I used to. Eat whatever I want and a lot. Haven’t gained a lot as I’m petite so 5lb weight gain is quite noticeable. But still stress so the only place I’ve gained far is lower tummy
Went from inactive to active and back again.... that'll be why you lost and gained the weight
Same
Keri diet used for long can have Side effect
I have used your electrolyte powder for years. Best product I have ever used. what I thought were heart tremors were from not enough potassium. As long as I take my electrolyte powder, my tremors stopped. Thank you, Dr. Berg!.
I got to testify, Keto & IF is working for me. I went to the Dr and I had lost about 15 lbs. I started this plan off in March 2022. I'm so happy! Thank you Dr. Berg so much for all you do to help others😇
I make my own dressing. Caesar dressing is super easy to make and it has never included anything with sugar...it's anchovies, garlic, eggyolk, Dijon mustard, olive oil, black pepper and parmasean cheese
Thanks for the recipe for Caesar salad dressing! So good!
Egg yolk? How fast does the dressing go bad?
thanks❤
I make my own dressing too.
One key thing I like to tell people too is if you stick to anything too hard it will feel like work! Don't deny going out with friends because of the diet. As long as you stick to your main diet when you can you will generally get good effects over time. Also, all the food that you used to eat before will feel obvious after eating them how bad they are and you will naturally not order unhealthier foods or you will drink water over soda, or unsweetened tea over sweetened tea. So breaking your diet becomes less and less a risk factor.
I give myself plenty of freedom! Intermitted fast + OMAD + Intermittent Keto Mon-fri, on the weekend I eat/drink w/e I want and I find that I'm not drinking 8 sodas, but only like 2. I'm not eating a whole bag of chips but like 1/3rd of one. I lost 25lbs in 2 months doing this!
Eventually you won't even want the unhealthy things!
Hello and thank you for your valuable advice. I started keto 15 days ago and even if it's hard to believe, I feel in great shape. I sleep better, I move more, I feel more creative, I have almost no more pain. Before, I was doing 16/8 intermittent fasting, so I had no difficulty switching to Omad. I have a lot of weight to lose but what I'm aiming for now is my health, and it has improved significantly and for that a huge thank-you!
As a plant based eater (vegan mainly) who has been healing childhood trauma, when my body goes into anxiety, I shift into healthy keto diet. I have been doing this for 3 years and it totally keeps me balanced healthy and in decent shape. This is what works for my personal preferences and health needs, and I am grateful for how it has pulled me out of some terrible health issues, when my body went into shock after a car accident three years ago. I have learned to truly listen to my body and give it what it needs when it needs it. Sea salt is really effective. I also use black salt but not sure if it’s recommended
Omg how do you transition back into veganism? Isn't veganism high carb while keto is high fat? How do the two work together?
I just want to say that Keto has diminished my anxiety by about 95% in just three weeks.
Fat doesn’t mean 100% meat. You can find it simply in avocado, good oils and nuts and so on ;)
@@izabelatrojanowska3388 , Yup, olives, nuts, olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil. It would be a challenge for sure but doable. Low carb vegetarian would be a million times easier especially if lacto/ovo (milk/cheese/eggs).
It is a daily battle, I go up and then I lose and the cycle keeps going. I am encouraged by the explanation and breakdown Dr. Berg provides.
i had been doing omad and thought it might be helpful. But at 57 and menopausal, I was told not to keep a very long gap between meals. The whole point, as I understood it, was to keep the meals small but not to let the body feel it was in starvation mode. It was this starvation mode that ensured that you didn't lose weight because the body wouldn't know when the next meal was coming and consequently hold on to whatever you were eating. Honestly, I don't really know what to follow in my age group any longer.
Yes, my wife & I agree. This diet is configured for a Male. My Moringa, Mag,C,zinc & Cinnamon-to stabilize sugar levels, along with this Diet has decreased our weight.
I don't know either 😢
For any women with hormonal pcos or menopause issues this extreme meal restriction will increase stress hormones, throwing off Hormonal imbalances more. There’s some elements of this diet to keep. Keep a restricted window from 10 am - 6 pm meals, get lots of carbs but mostly from veggies and incorporate foods fats ( you need fats for hormone production) and protein ( salmon etc)
There are carbs in those items any way. Even some vegetables have some carbs in them. I think this is all about ratios... basically... and yes, you can follow what he stated. And having a salad does a good clean anyway. Well.. we normally say "good clean"... but in reality.. you are no longer eating things which caused the issue in the first place. Just consuming more of the correct items. And none of the incorrect ones. The first time I did the Alisa Vitti method.... (She has a cycle of each week, to be different depending on the stages of your cycle.) But if you looked at all 4 weeks... it does allow you to follow protein and veggies. She advocated a protein brekkie. Lunch can be carb+protein+veggie. Then veggie at late evening meal. Or only protein and veg. No carb. So... you can always follow it, but use like small amount ? Like 3-4 pieces of pasta, even ? I also recently had an operation.. and shall try this again... But his point is that, when the body is in keto-sis... it THEN will use the fat to burn off... along with your digestion when it consumes the veggie and proteins. Cos you are not feeding it any more. So it takes the body's own stored carb. e.g. Fat/Glucon. It will mix it with the protein and veggie that you consumed.
My husband and I started OMAD last August. We eat around 3pm. We eat very low carb and no alcohol or sugar. We hike daily for 2.5 to 3 miles, every day. We have both lost 30 pounds.
Day 4 and dropped 5lbs! I feel GREAT. First thing was stopping my daily Starbucks run! I barely even crave coffee. Thanks so much for EXPLAINING what to do, how to do it and why it needs to be done 💪🏼
5 pounds in 4 days?????????
Was it the coffee, or was it all the added junk (sugar, cream, syrup, etc.)?
@@Fener242 did I ask?
Not being negative, but that loss is mostly water, as every gram of carbs holds on to 3 grams of water, approximately. As you cut carb consumption, you won't accumulate water. This is why it is important to have electrolytes in keto, because the minerals that were in the "carb-attached" water are no longer there. You'll notice that the amount of weight loss will be less in terms of percentage of total weight as time goes by. But, if you persist, eventually you'll be in ketosis and burning fat. Adding further persistence will make you fat-adapted after 6 months or so, which basically means that you'll be metabolically flexible. This means that even if you eat some more carbs on a night out or so, your body will come out of ketosis, but it will be easier and faster for you to get back into ketosis again, due to such metabolic flexibility. So KEEP GOING!!!
In 4 days??
Hey Dr Berg, I'm watching your videos from Guyana🇬🇾 and i lost 21lb in two months. The intermittent fasting works like a charm for me. Thank you so much🙏🏿❤.
Most welcome! Be well!
Guyana!! Big up yaself!!!! Congrats!!!!
Hello Dr. Berg. Can I put cream in my morning coffee or tea?
The salad can be blended! I blend my spinach, lettuce and sellery together, add some lemon juice, some ginger shots and a load of water as I blend it and maybe even some avocado. The I add a pinch of salt and a dash of Stevia to taste. For me this is the optimum way of uavibg greens ❤️😀clean, tasty and I don't have to sit and chew a bunch of salad
This made it seem doable. I’ve tried keto before, unsuccessfully, but no one ever explained about lowering the fat as appetite decreases.
Thanks for the video.
It does take a week or two for the body to adjust - hence "keto flu". I followed Dr. Berg's plan over a year ago and never had "flu" or other issues.
I have been doing keto for 1.5 months.I lost 11pounds specially my belly fat! Love this channel!
That's my target area I just want to drop 15-20 lbs. Flatten out the stomach
Me too.
I just need to lost 20 lbs and flatten my big tummy 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Dr. Berg. Your instruction is always well thought through and detailed. One thing that I would like to mention that I found out and that is, is that when I feel 'hungry', that a lot of time it isn't hunger, but thirst (dehydration) and after a refreshing drink, I feel fine and not hungry anymore. I just thought that this may be why some people are gaining weight, because in mistaking thirst for hunger, they are consuming an over-abundance of food?? Is this a possibility?
Hey what kind of refreshing drink do you take?
Hey Doc. Just wanted to say a massive thank you, I was becoming pre diabetic and it was really scary. I’ve changed my diet, I’m doing the the keto plan plus intermittent fasting, lost weight and look and feel much better. The sugar cravings have now gone. Thank you so much.
I ate salads for lunch and dinner with avocado to add taste for one month when I was in my twenties. I also did twenty minutes of exercise morning and afternoon. I ate half a grapefruit, one slice of rye toast with grated parmesan cheese and one cup of hot skim milk. I made my own olive oil and lemon with garlic, sea salt and cayenne dressing for one month and lost weight rapidly. Since then, I thought that this was just due to my age and rapid metabolism. From your video, it appears that I reached a high level of ketosis and realize that it was not my age but my determination because I have become self-indulgent over the years and prefer comfort to thinness. Thank you Dr. Berg. Now I just have to find that determination again.
Following you for 9 months. Lost 30 lbs. I take nutritional yeast, electrolytes, and apple cider vinegar daily. My energy has greatly increased. I went from working out with weights 30-40 minutes and couldn't wait to get done, to working out 2-3 hours, and have tell myself to stop. Thanks Dr. Berg.
Mike (54 years old)
Congratulations Mike! You got this. Keep pushing forward.
Dr. Berg, thank you so much for all of your videos I have seen at least 20 if not 30 and I have learned so much from you. I had always been 110 pounds and for about three years I lost my way and gained about 30 pounds, but I had no idea how insulin played such a large part in my weight gain. After watching your videos and following the keto diet I have lost all that weight and four months and I feel so much better. Most importantly, I have been educated on the importance of staying away from carbohydrates and all sugar. You explain things so thoroughly and easy to understand. I will continue watching your videos and have discussed your keto plan with my doctor. He knows who you are and totally agrees With all that you say.
Again, I want to thank you for all that you have done for me
Excellent video. I'm also a doctor and all these things that you mentioned in your video are exactly the same I talk about with my patients. I've gotten great results using these very simple methods. I would like to add the fact, that in order to be successfull in dietary changes the food must also taste good and encourage people to start to see cooking as a pleasurable hobby. There are a million ways to make tasty and healthy meals using proper ingredients. I also encourage to have an 'occasional day off' and just kick back... just to not make this lifestyle change feel like a 'sentence'. Main thing being, that if you eat healthy 6 days a week you can afford to order a pizza or whatever (as time goes by this urge to have pizza etc does actually goes away). Thanks for your input and this great video. Happy days!
Hola qué recomiendas comer a la gente con problemas de Colón irritable y intolerancia a la lactosa y al gluten .muchas gracias.saludos cordiales.
I just started this. 3 days in and I’m already losing my appetite. This is great!
I do OMAD or I try to eat within a 4 hr Window. I break my fast usually by consuming a big green smoothie - avocado, kale, celery, Cucumber and sometimes parsley as well. Since I struggle with eating that much salad, I feel the big smoothie does the trick. I usually feel full after it and can't eat too much more after. Definitely helps prevent over eating. Sometimes I'll still then have a small salad with my meal on top of it
I will come to check after 6 months please some one kiss my comment l will come back after loosing weight to testify ❤
Any updates?
It’s been 6 mths !
It's working guys to be honest l have lost more weight
❤
Sister,i am also trying to lose weight. Wish you super discipline
The best way I do it is by fasting, which puts you in the ultimate keto state. I was 285 lbs and fasted for 6 days straight-- nothing but water/ salt water. I lost 3 lbs per day, every day and was down 22 lbs by the 6th day. You feel amazing and don't even feel hungry.. I ate sensible after that and in about 2 months I was down to 195 lbs. So if you really want to kick start weight loss--- fasting is the absolute masterful way to get started.
I agree...I've lost weight the standard way and by omad....with stand ard procedures it took six months of intense running and cutting calories...with omad it took two months and yes you can see daily...I said daily... Weight loss...throw in a two to three day fast once a month and it's weig ht loss on steroids !!!!
Did the fasting not cause you to purge? I did keto and fasting for six months lost 40 lbs once I started treating myself I purged snd purged I’ve now gained 60 pounds. Please help
How do you not eat without getting hypoglycemic and going crazy? My body starts to act like a drug addict- shakes, irritability. Etc when I don’t eat.
@@visionvixxen You’ll feel withdrawal-like symptoms for 2-3 days of fasting. Frankly, you just have to power through it. Consuming super-palatable carbs (soft drinks, fast foods, etc) will only prolong the “addiction”. It seems impossible, but you will eventually reach a point where your desire for carbs will drop off significantly. Extended fasting is a great way to reset and curb your cravings. Just do it. In the context of your entire life, 3 days of fasting is nothing. You don’t want to say to yourself that you never summoned the strength to do something hard for 3 days in a row.
Once you do it, you’ll realize you have a tool to get back in the groove if/when you ever get off track again and have your life taken over by carbs and hyper-palatable processed foods.
I’ve done it gradual and done it by starting fasting. Jumping into a fast can be miserable. Headaches brain fog. Feels like waking up drunk. I found best for me was start cleaning keto diet. And eat that but as much as you want then taper. This makes it soooo much easier. This whole thing is not a quick game it’s a lifestyle So eat a ton of veggies Heck even bacon and it won’t hurt so bad to transition Then once in ketosis. It’s so easy to do a fast. Your body will want to eat out of taste and habit but your running on fat and have that constant flow of energy and won’t be as hungry Then do what you need to do. Longest I did was 56 hours. I felt great Watch dr Berg amd the delaur guy. Learn. Experiment and be healthy
I love this guy! I have lost 51 lbs in a year and 9 months.3.2 lbs to my goal. I eat once a day and drink green juice when ever I want
This is a WONDERFUL distillation of the hundreds of videos you've done on the keto diet. Wish I'd had this 2 yrs ago when I started because I was quite overwhelmed figuring out new diet routines. Thank you!
I'm not someone who posts a lot online, but I felt compelled to do so. I can honestly say, this works. I lost 2 stone in 12 weeks! I went from 17.9st to my goal, which was 15.9st. I haven't been able to keep it off, because I went on two All Inclusive holidays, but if you make it a lifestyle change then you'll definitely be able to stay at your goal weight. My wife has also followed this advice, and she went from 11st to 8.2st, where she remains. It took her longer, around 24 weeks. Definitely try this and remember, feeling hungry is in the mind!
I lost 41 pound in just 3 month following keto diet+IF+ calorie defficit.Without your eloquent lectures ,you wouldn't have caught my attention.thank you sir for changing my life
A calorie deficit is all you need, you don’t need to be doing all the other things. Count your macro nutrients and a calorie deficit. Keto is actually stalling your progress or making you lose weight THATS not fat (making your metabolism crash)
@@LordHeroMc yes! Yes and yes! I learned the hard way
@@Neesha242 haha same, never went the route but I went down the rabbit hole of different diets. The biggest fitness problem tbh is that there’s too much information out there 😂
@@Neesha242 although I do intermittent fasting just because it’s easier to skip a meal 👌😂
@Catherine Ives lmao they gain it back because they relapse or are going into a deep defecit. If you are in a slight caloric deficit and adjusting it every couple pounds you lose, you will lose weight. It’s legit just science.
I started the Keto diet back in December of last year, and I have been following the suggestions Dr.Berg made in this video. Initially, there was no change. However, I weighed in the other day, and found I've lost 7 pounds! I'm very happy that I've made some progress. I wish I had started this diet earlier. I feel so much better eating less carbs (I eat OMAD/1 big salad a day with protein). Initially, it was very difficult to drop all the carbs I used to consume, but now I cannot see it any other way. I encourage everyone watching this video to seriously start the diet and listen to these suggestions! It really works and you will feel so much better!!!
Dear Emily:🍏🌱But one meal a day, what if you’ve got hypoglycemia? A nutritionist told me long ago that I must eat a little protein every 4 hours….
So, could it be dangerous to do OMAD?
Thanks 🙏
I don't have hypoglycemia. Keto balances my insulin levels. Thank you for the concern, though. I have now lost an additional 24 pounds. I'm feeling great! 🙂
I’ve been doing intermittent fasting for 2 years and I have lost 25kg ! I fast between 16 to 20 hours, depending on my day to day schedules :) Hope it helped !
Explain what you eat
Iv lost 23kg and counting
From IF and cutting out sugary processed food
Stopped working for me after a year. Ugh
I'm glad salad is mentioned first. I eat lots of salad. Different variety of greens salads. At times I caveat all but it's satisfying.
I really can't thank you enough Dr Berg, you have made everything so simple for me. Every video of you teaches something that provides a lot of benefits in healthy body, mind and lifestyle. Thank you for everything, regards from India.🙏
Hello Dr. Berg. I went from 235 pounds to 215 pounds but now it seems like I’ve plateaued. I will be more consistent with my intermittent fasting. Then I will report results again. Thank you once again.
Do you exercise as well as eating healthy?
@@Mikehowarth1988 I do but it’s inconsistent. I think I’ll try hit workout at least three times a week and see if my body can burn more fat.
@@mrgaguilera60 I was stuck at the same weight to so I started doing sit ups, push ups and dumbbells in-between riding the bike. I do at least half an hour a day but usually an hour plus per day on the bike and it’s really paying off. I’ve dropped from 230lbs to around 190 within a year but I couldn’t do it without exercise on top of a decent diet. I highly recommend it if you have plateaued.
Dr. Berg, this video quite literally brought me back to Keto starting today and made me see where I had made mistakes when trying keto before. I wish we could get more nutritional information put out in clear and concise ways. There is so much information that it can make your head spin and all the conflicting views have had me questioning every decision i've made. Thank you for breaking this down clearly.
You're welcome and good luck!
Hi sir did keto before starting today again.thank you 💕☺️❤️🙏 sooooo much for guiding us.stay safe n happy.
My wife and I both lost 40 lbs we have plateau, but we cheat more often now that we've has great success. I plan to get serious after the holidays. Thank you for the videos.
Hey Robert Miller my name is Robert Miller! Best of luck with your diet and your goals.
Try it and see,
Let us know how it goes @Pamela Howard
Ditch salad dressing. Top salad with lemon or lime juice, a little natural salt and pepper, and plenty of organic extra virgin olive oil
