Me too! And I also have to ask myself, why I have to go to UA-cam to get this terrific advice for my health. Why haven't I heard any of this from my physician? It's very upsetting. But I'm so grateful for Dr. Berg.
@Joey Caps you don't have to man. You will get results without it. Im down 20 pounds in a month eating regular meat and bacon eggs butter. Lots of salads and avocados some nuts here and there.
To anybody who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind right now. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life. Amen🙏🙏🙏
I myself lost 40 pounds in four months. I went from 180 to 140. I eat steamed vegetables, fish, eggs, nuts, banana, apple or grapes along with 8 cups of water per day. I started with only 700 calories per day and gradually went up to 1800. I also take extra vitamins, minerals and herbs. In the last month I also had cataract surgery on both eyes. I feel like a new man. I am 5ft. 10in. and 65 years old. When I started my triglycerides were at 576 and that dropped to normal after the second week. Then my bad cholesterol dropped too normal as well. I eliminated refined sugar and processed foods. Now my blood pressure is 108/64 with a pulse rate of 58. Good luck in your adventure to find good health.
Don. That is too fast. I lost a little over 40lbs. and took over a years- running and eating correctly. I still lost my gallbladder. It is a thing with rapid weight loss. Nuts- Walnuts are best. Almonds are very high in Oxalates. Grapes are high in sugar. Most fruit should be avoided- just some org. blueberries are usually OK. I would stop with the vitamins- most are harmful and synthetic. I only take Magnesium Glycinate which most people should take. If you take D, you need to take it with K2- always. Good job on your BP and pulse rate! No sugar is smart! When you drink water, I put a pinch of pink salt in it. It helps balance many things- read about it. Walking fast, jogging and some sprints might be very helpful to push to the next level. I would also do some resistance and flexibility training. More than just tris can cholesterol, you want to pay attention to the ration of TRIGLYCERIDES TO HDL. This is what matters. It should be 1.5 or less is good. 2.5 of more is a problem. For example, 200 (triglyceride level) / 55 (HDL) = 3.6 (triglyceride HDL ratio). This would be way too high and bad. Again, I cannot be clear enough, it is the RATIO that matters. Many docs will ignore this or even bother to tell you the score. They will however be very quick to write you a script for harmful drugs- like statins.
@@UTAH100 Cleaning the gall bladder of stones is one good way to rid the bladder of stones, parasites, etc. Has that been mentioned? I am sorry you lost an organ but I am wondering if there is a pre-cleanse protocol?
@@peggygenoway Thanks Peg. I don't think anyone really knows. Some speculate it can be the result of the liver- things slowing down, creating sludge. There was no magical flush that was going to fix me. It was super inflamed and ruptured. I tried and gave it time. If you ignore and waste time playing around it can progress to worse, chronic issues. My biggest thing now is the weight loss and more important, the inability to gain.
I lost 90lbs in just over 2 months-- but I started with a FULL 6 day fast and lost 3 lbs per day, EVERYDAY during that first week; I weighed myself every morning. When I weighed myself again at the end of day 7, I was 22 lbs down for the week. Pretty incredible way to start your weight loss. So I started at 285 and got down to 263 in that first week, and then went on to get down to 192 in about 2 more months, just by eating small portions, only once a day. Mostly sticking to butter/ coconut butter, fatty meat and vegetables, plus a lot of bacon and eggs, many avocados and salted tomatoes; other than that it would be simple meals/ salmon and asparagus/ ribeye (or chuck-eye) steak w/ butter and spinach or Brussel sprouts or salad w/ ranch, etc, summer sausage slices and cheddar or muenster or Mazzarella, shrimp w/ butter, meatballs and broccoli or green beans, cheddar peppers w/ cream cheese wrapped in bacon (which I would dip in coconut butter now and then). cabbage and bacon (extra bacon), cheese burger without the bun (I would just eat the cheese melted burger with a fork and have the salted lettuce, tomato and onion on the side almost like a salad I guess).. Basically just avoiding breads/ sugars/ starches/ and even fruits, especially no juices or any other sugar drinks, no coffee, no cereals, no cakes or pies, no candy, no ice cream, no alcohol, etc. Nothing that is sugar or will easily turn to sugar in the body; simply stick to meat and fats, vegetables and some cheese. ALL in small portions. We're not gorging down a full plate. Just eat your vegetable and finish with the meat and even if you're not full, simply walk away from the food-- sit down and drink on a large glass of water. The satiation will catch up to you and you'll be plenty satisfied. This is one of the most important things that an obese person can learn: We don't have to eat until we are stuffed and can't eat anymore. Just because the food tastes good, doesn't mean that we have to stuff our face with it. Just eat your little portioned meal, and walk away until the next day- once you do this a few times, you will have more faith that you ate enough food -- because again, the satiation will catch up to you in another 10 minutes and you'll feel great that you're not loaded down with a full stomach, and you can still go about your day and move and work without feeling like you need to lay down and take a nap. STOP eating till full-- that is the main habit that will change your life.
Please, How many calories did you eat in that one meal & did you go Keto without sugar or starches??? Did you notice less pain in your body after your fast? Thank you
@@ketoauntie7301 Yes, stay away from any sugar/ breads/ starches/ and even fruits/ and especially any juice/ soda/ etc... I ate a lot of bacon and eggs, avocados and salted tomato, salmon and asparagus, meatballs and cheddar, beef jerky, summer sausage and muenster cheese, Ribeye steak and broccoli, etc.. Keep it simple; Yes I guess it's basically a keto type diet. Only eat once per day and keep the portions small/ to reasonable. Eating too much at once will spike your blood sugar and kick you out of fat burning ketosis; also eating several times per day will do it too; So only once per day, stick with fatty meat and a vegetable, and then simply DON'T eat again until tomorrow. Yes I felt amazing, with not having inflammation and pain present like I always do. After that second day of fasting, your body will have digested everything from your last meal and even pooped it out by then, and you will have burned up all your blood sugar by then too; so now you're fully 100% running off of your body fat, and you will notice it. You feel awesome, high motivation, high energy, good mood, hormones pumping and even heightened senses.. I can't recommend it enough. You should definitely do a fast.
210 lbs in June, down to 177 lbs today. Intermittant fasting with one meal a day. I started Keto, then went to Carnivore because it was easier. I'm 66 feel like 46. I'm looking and feeling DAMN good. Thanks Dr. Berg!
@@ketoauntie7301I never count calories. I eat only when i am hungry, what ever time of day that is..as much beef butter bacon eggs ( pork chicken too sometimes) usually a 16 oz ribeye or more maybe some eggs until I am comfortably stuffed. That's it.
Watching Dr Berg’s videos helped me to start fasting and start keto. I went from 163lbs to 115lbs. I’m 4 11’. People don’t even recognize me anymore. I have solved my inflammation. I have more energy, focus, motivation. If I start to lose motivation, I’ll just watch his videos to stay on track. People in college see my photos and they say I look like I never aged and I’m 48 years old. I just wish I had dr Berg in college to educate me because I struggled over the years with my weight and now I feel like I have found the cure to my disease, because obesity is a disease. Thanks, dr berg!
This is inspiring. I also am 4 11. I was 175lbs and got down to 155lbs doing keto & Intermittenting fasting. Though I gained 5lbs cheating & stress. I also want to be 115. You've motivated me to get back on it!
Yes, Dr. Berg has helped me too. I started watching his videos and interviews and both have been educational and motivational. I was skeptical at first about IF but seeing results 25lbs released in 2022 mostly with IF and some keto. Lots of inflammation gone and walking better and longer. My short term memory is improving as well. I’m going all in for 2023 - being more consistent with IF and keto foods.
Great success story, sounds a lot like mine but I'm 55 years old at 5'7 was 350 lbs and lost 125 lbs, had a 54" waist now 40" waist goal is to get to a 36" waste. I started Dr Bergs healthy keto plan back in March of this year, I haven't felt this good in years! Thank you Dr Berg!!!!
That's amazing! You got me beat! I'm 63years old, 6' tall, started at 360lbs, got down to 256lbs, but I plateaued, got a foot injury, got discouraged, weight creeped back up to 297lbs. Recommitted this weekend and shooting for 225lbs - my honeymoon weight in 1998. Keep it up!
Congratulations Bart. I caught Covid at the beginning of this year and probably lost about 20 pounds from not eating. When I got better my coworkers noticed that I lost weight and that was the swift kick in the butt that I needed to get healthier. Since then I’ve completely changed my diet and started exercising more and taking some supplements to help burn belly fat. Then I stumbled upon your channel on here and followed your advice with lemon water and apple cider vinegar and the weight has really come off the last 3 months since drinking the lemon water everyday. I’ve probably lost over 100 pounds since the beginning of the year.
So Inspiring. I'm 55 and was 305 ( 2/1/23) I weighed in 1 month later at 279.6(3/1/23) doing OMAD! Such a blessing to hear a story from a guy my age, with my weight. THANK YOU! Just emotionally understanding that food isn't needed but once a day. I've done a few extended (2x48 hour) just because I didn't feel hugary.I'm 2 days into my first 72 hour fast and feeling awsome! Our food bill has gone down about $100.00 monthly and that is with eating more low carb, non processed real foods. Congratulations on helping to extend your life by 7-11 years. OMAD and a Keto type diet are working for me. Eating like the person I want to be. Excited to see what my true self looks like. I haven't been below 200 pounds since I was in grade school.
I started Keto 3 weeks ago after starting to watch your channel and have lost 20 pounds! I was 195, down to 175. Now I like my new diet, eggs, salad, less carbs and sugar, and fasting for 16-18 hours every day. Thank you!
Me too. I was the guy who had breakfast and then was hungry so had 2nd BF. Now I am not (super) hungry, I know I need to eat but it is not URGENT like is was before. Just having my first meal of the day at 6:30pm and am struggling to finish it. So for the month about ten kilos (a lot will be water) but what a difference. My head is a different shape physically and MENTALLY much more get up and go.
You can see how Great He feels. I have been Healthy and happy.... but, I have been very sick for 5 to 7 years...spinal issues and lupus... among many other issues. I have been sad, mad and depressed. But, I am ready to be Healthy and Happy again. Today is day 1. Thanks to both Dr Berg and this gentleman. 👏 👏 👏 I am hopeful.
Deborah Bennett, you can do it. I pray that God gives you the strength to maintain. Have faith and ask Holy Spirit to help you because He will. He's a helper and know this, God has a plan for you to give you a future and a hope.
I think Bart being single is probably one of the greatest contributors to his success. I can remember how motivated I was when I was single and how easy it was to stick to my routines and new habits. I think the reason for this is 1. You’re motivated to look good for your future partner 2. It’s easier to stick to routines and habits without having anyone else around to tempt you at home and throw you off your routine 3. You have full control over groceries and what’s kept in the house. You don’t have to consider anyone else’s needs when grocery shopping or planning/preparing meals. I attribute more than half my struggles to weight loss with my social influences. I get tempted or thrown for a loop almost daily and in the beginning, it’s so hard to say no several times a day. Especially if I’m stressed or unprepared. And the majority of those influences are not relationships I can part with to make life easier, so I have to learn to manage them better (spouse, family, coworkers).
I came here to write exactly what you wrote!! Its so much easier to do this as a single person. Plus if he wants kids - well.....food wise that is going to be a tough one. Today my partner brought home a mega bag of cheese chips and declared "because I wanted to". Its my weakness. I'd prefer it was out of the house. But I'm only part of this household. Its difficult.
I am a widow and can attest that it is much easier to do OMAD intermittent fast/keto style eating with only me to deal with. I doubt I would have been able to stick with this plan if my husband was still alive. I would think it hard to convince a partner to do this big of a cultural change to their lifetime eating habits.
You don't want to look good for your spouse? You want to look good to hook a mate, but don't care after he or she is hooked? This is false advertising, and disrespectful.
My 3 month weight loss is 25lbs, I don't want to lose the weight too fast. It took years to gain it so I feel like taking 1 year to lose it is fine. My favorite quote is from Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse when he's asked what he can do. His response is, "I can think. I can wait. And I can fast." If you can do these three things you'll have success.
Thank you Dr. Berg, I too am down 100 lb in 14 months, back to my high school/ U.S. Army weight and measurements! Your ACTIONABLE explainer videos are wonderful tools.
Amazing Dr. Berg! I’ve learned so much from you and tell everyone how you’re changing my life with your informative videos. Thank you for sharing and taking your time to do this!
Congratulations, Bart !! 😁 I LOST 75 POUNDS in 6 months !! I have about 15-20 more pounds to get off, and I WILL !!😁 For 8 long years, I was so overweight, and have been using a walker because of bad nerve damage in both feet. I NEVER THOUGHT I could lose weight, since I couldn't exercise. Thank goodness, I happened to see Dr. Berg's videos, and started watching. Before I went on this program, I watched several videos on what sugar and carbs do to our bodies. It psyched me up to stay on this program. I'm SO happy that Dr. Berg and Karen have many videos on Keto desserts, to satisfy my sweet tooth. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Dr. Berg !!! 😁😁😁
I’m on Day 1. I have been watching your videos for a few days now. I have no idea what I weight but I know that my belly fat is not healthy. I probably have about 60-70 to lose. I was happy to see Bart’s results and particularly how he watches your videos every morning to stay focused. I will ne doing two meals per day cuz I love breakfast! Wish me luck!
I started an OMAD, mostly keto diet the Monday before Thanksgiving 2022. I weighed 266. I had an appointment with my Oncologist (Prostate cancer) on January 31, 2023. I weighed 222. I'm down 44 pounds in a little over 2.5 months. May PSA has been going up .1 or .2 every 6 months. My previous visit my PSA was 2.7. That was 3 months ago. This visit my PSA was 1.5. Sometimes my PSA stays the same, but it never goes down. The only difference this time is by the grace of God I stumbled into Dr. Berg and learned about what intermittent fasting and a keto diet can do for weight loss and how it can impact cancer cells.
I lost 51 pounds so far (30 more to go) from 261 to 210. Started by eliminating sugar which made it easy to lose the craving for bread, potatoes, rice etc. then to keto and intermittent fasting. Omad works but I find that I kind of need to mix it up with 16/8 days to get the max benefits. Dr bergs videos were critical in this life changing transformation. This is not a diet but I am committed to making this a permanent life style change.
This video is what I needed. I lost on this program; got my type II diabetes in control and so much more. My spouse kept bringing me bowls of ice cream and candy when he knew I was OMAD and zero sugar. I got tired of fighting it so I quit. Weight came back, diabetes came back along with all the inflammation and pain. This video has helped motivate me again. Thanks
Watching Dr. Berg's daily videos definitely motivate me to stay the course. If I fall off, I get right back on. I will forever be grateful for his teachings on Keto, clean eating and intermittent fasting. 🙏
I remember reading comments about how much weight people were losing and thought, "why isn't it working for me"? (LOL I'm literally writing this while he started talking about the stress! Lol) Well I had started the intermittent fasting. It helped greatly with my blood sugar/pressure, and I was feeling better. Then I had a climax stress event with family, that ended up with me trying to figure out why I couldn't sleep! For a month! In that time, I had already found Dr Berg when looking into the IF. He instantly popped up when I searched for help with the insomnia! I did what I could on the stress, but it took a long time to get that turned around. Well a year later, and I'm down about 35lbs! From growing out of my 36x30 pants, and now my old 34x30's are loose! I've learned some amazing brain science related information I share with anyone interested, that has totally changed the emotional stress angle! I'm very excited, and would encourage anyone listing for answers, keep at it! It works and you will find answers!
I have lost 42 lbs in four months watching and learning from you I started probiotics and turmeric and stopped sugar and mostly bread gotta have my hamburger I fast 22 hours a day and eat what I want mainly shrimp chicken and of course my wagyu hamburgers I feel great no more foot pain leg pain and my headaches has almost stopped
Well done Bart! 🎉 You look amazing! Thank you for mentioning grass fed, grass finished beef and organic salad. So many people don't understand how important it is to eat clean and how much that will effect your results and overall health. Hearing you speak was so inspiring, I also start my day with Dr. Berg's newest videos. It's a great way to start every day in a healthy mind-set 😊 I want to give you a hug to say 'Thank you!'
I lost 78 pound with keto and intermittent fasting 22 hour. 6 months I discovered your video’s and decided to follow it properly and was amazed not only with the results but how friendly it was. The experience is fantastic I can’t thank you enough. It is so nice to have stories like this gentleman and the other’s you had in the past always inspirational great. I sent your keto diet to many of my friends and family thanks again. Marc Teleki from Switzerland leaving in Australia have a great Xmas 😊
this guy in the video is eating a half lb of beef and a salad with some cheese and oil a day. hes not breaking 1300 calories. i did a rough build on cronometer and its 1255. how in the hell do you not fly into a murderous rage at work?
I lost 65lbs in 6 months. Life Changing. Thanks, Dr. Berg! I am 52 years old 6'1", was 270, now 205. 190-200 should be a great weight for me. I am doing Keto and OMAD., will transition to 2 meals a day when I hit my goal.
This is really awesome. I started at 345 and I'm down to 318. I've been mainly following nsng which is similar to keto except I can't have any type of sugar. I also do 1.5 meals a day which is one meal in the evening but I have a smoothie made with frozen berries, almond milk, full fat yogurt, and peanut butter for my first meal. I usually have the smoothie between 10:30 & noon and then my meal is usually about 7pm just because of my schedule. I'm not having as much success as I was hoping but success is still success. I would love to lose 90 lbs in 5 months. I know my overall health would improve which is a huge concern. I currently have digestive issues and heart disease that I'm trying to combat.
Can you eat your 2nd or last meal at 5 pm? Then take digestive enzymes to help break food n nutrients down and take a probiotic to help with your gut issues. My nutritionist told me that and it helped me a lot. I have heart disease and Hashimoto’s dz. Hope this helps you
Well done Bart! Thanks for sharing. I started with 18/6 IF and then listened to my body and it felt natural to move to 20/4, then OMAD. I too am grateful for Dr. Berg! Just 6 weeks into my journey, you are an inspiration!
Awesome brother! I’m enjoying my keto/Omad journey. I’m down 35lbs in 1month and feel amazing. My gut is healed. Asthma is virtually gone. My taste and smell is extremely sensitive which I had lost after the virus. Fixed* so many things are changing it’s incredible. And it’s amazing how well your brain works when you give it premium fuel!!!
I'm down 90 pounds since last year at this time... hopefully it will be 100 by Christmas... you have been very helpful as part of my research on what my body needs to be healthy, thank you.
Bart getting your health back is so important, congratulations ! I too got my health back from Dr bergs great keto information! I fast 18 hrs I'm 2 meals a day , I do hit strength training full body workout 1 set only to absolute muscle failure , I do this only 2 x a week but the results for me along with keto have been amazing - Bart again I'm so happy for you ! Happy holidays !
I'm on Day 16 and have lost 14lbs already. The best bit is i feel so much better (although i'm 3 days in to a cold!!!). I've been on 2 x low carb meals a day but i'm already leaning more towards a more carnivore diet. I used to wake up every morning with soreness in both shoulders (from sleeping on my side), that soreness/inflamation has gone. My dry skin has started to clear up too. I'm 49, 6ft and 309lbs. I find this story so inspiring. My wife and 2 kids in their 20's aren't on the same diet as me so we do have plenty of temptations in the kitchen cupboards but i've been strong.... so far. It's great to see so many comments of people on the same journey 🙂
At 70, the last 3 years have been amazing. I discovered Dr Berg since the beginning of this year so learned about eating Keto, Intermittent Fasting and OMAD from another Dr but continue learning from all that I follow. Lemon water ✔, ACV am and pm ✔, big bowl with salad and protein ✔, daily exercise ✔. As far as going out to eat, no problem. I eat Keto and don't put anything in my mouth I don't want. I am totally in control, never snack and am never hungry. It's been a process. Like Bart, I feel better than almost 40 years. We are average people that started on this journey and you can too. It's never too late to be healthier. 🙏 💪 Edit: I have never gotten on a scale but know by my clothes. I recently had to donate a bunch of clothes as I've gone from 18/20 to 8/10. Also recently I've had a downsizing "spurt", even my legs. Like I said, at my age, amazing. But we can do this at our age! We don't need fancy recipes, just eat from around the outside aisles of the store. Stay away from processed. Also, not on any meds at all.
This is a great video I was at 262lbs one year ago and I ran across dr.berg on utube one day and started the keto plan , and now I'm down to 208lbs and I got down to this weight in about 4months and I'm still on the plan and going good!
This is a testimony of determination, and willpower! Helps me to stay focused I need help to get started! You are my inspiration I like to understand the why! I do the same in watching the videos every morning on waking up! And I ask the question and share with family… I will not give up! Thank you Bart
I've found the need for willpower (or "won't" power - lol!) goes away once you break the carb addiction. You just eat and do what you know you gotta do. Make it thru that first week to ten days and then its pretty much clear sailing! Of course, like any addiction (or bad habit), it's always lurking in the background waiting for a moment of weakness to comeback into your life. The cost of freedom (and good health) is eternal vigilance.
I agree with Old Tymer, it gets easier after the first couple weeks. When I started Healthy Keto I thought no way could I just have one meal a day, but soon it all changed and I just wasn’t hungry and my cravings went away. I’m 70 yrs old and beginning my 4th week, down 20#. Good luck!
I have lost 55 lbs since May using Dr. Berg's youtube advice. Started 240, today 184. I fast from 6 to noon with only 2 eggs for "lunch". Chicken, beef, broccoli and cauliflower are my basics for dinner meals. Fresh Strawberries for dessert. Apple Cider Vinegar before each "meal". Also I started walking 5 miles at least 5 days a week in the morning while still fasting. The best part is I am convinced I can do this forever
That's a great idea...Dr Berg do ANOTHER video of all the products you use and where to find them all 😊..Dec 25-22 will be 6 months..down 26lbs.. Thank you!
I have been struggling with my weight for over five years now. I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. There are days I don't know how I will go on like this if I continue to gain more and more weight. Let's just say that I am absolutely miserable in my own skin. After many prayers, expensive consultations, and programs I cannot afford but desperately need-I stumbled upon Dr. Berg's videos. First, it was the knee pain video that made me feel better instantly and that was it. I watch one video a day and have shared his videos with so many people including those in South America. I am in tears after watching this video because I have hope that maybe this is finally it! The answered prayers. I pray for peace for anyone who is suffering like I have been for so many years and I pray that God continues to bless Dr. Berg with wisdom.
Just started into Keto program about a month ago, mainly in order to bring down my glucose levels and became totally immersed in Dr. Berg's videos after watching the "2 weeks without sugar" video, and I'm already down about 6 or 7 lbs. so far, and yes the belt has another notch tighter :) but what I really love the most (other than never feeling hungry) is I feel soooo much better! My goal is to get from 215 to about 180 or so - I finally know it indeed is a doable thing, I just needed the right information - God bless you, Dr. Berg!
I started my omad fasting it's only a week now but I'm feeling so healthy gastric ulcer gone ,from 99kgs I'm now 96kg in only a week ,I will be here to inform you how it goes in 5 month. Edit now 2 months lost 12,5kg 15kgs gone 17kgs gone 18kgs gone
Greetings Doctor Berg, and everyone, I have been on Ketogenic for a year and 10 months, and also adding OMD to my great life but OMD is not a stranger to me I use to fast a lot when I was in my teens and while I was in college, especially in my late twenties. I always fasted and I always felt amazing when fasting. Fasting has been in my life and I know the amazing feeling of a good fast and the benefits of fasting. The excess weight came on me after a broken marriage but it was not the marriage it was me who have to take the responsibility for my oneness with myself to understand that it’s up to me what I want out of weight loss and not temporary just to get in a swimsuit or a new dress but for the healthy lifestyle for a healthy body. Keto for me is taking every step with care while losing weight to avoid loose skin and majorly learning more about my lifestyle choices for the future because this is a lifestyle for me mentally and physically. I’m feeling great but knowledge is powerful to understand obesity to use our acknowledge to fight obesity, with respect and understanding that we must not make any excuses for our weight gain but take full responsibility to understand the cause of weight gain when it comes to our pass eating habits by eating an overwhelming amount of carbohydrate. This is a list of food I have eliminated from going into my body that causes health problems and especially foods that was processed and full of sugar and especially foods that has sugar. I don’t drink soda, eat bread, grits, rice, beans, pasta, pizza, fast food, ice cream, cakes, cookies, candies, no keto snacks filled with sugar substitutes, and no sugary fruits. I turned to whole food and my eyesight is amazing and my blood pressure became normal. I don’t have diabetes but I knew I had to do something before going down the road of disaster. This is a life changer for me. I have to use the slow and steady way of losing weight not rushing but doing it with my body adjusting to the new progress of losing weight naturally and safely. I love when you said Doctor Berg, that exercising is great while losing weight not to overdo the exercises while losing weight but do our exercises Moderately. I took the advice and I have lost 76 pounds. In one year and 10 months but I’m still losing weight and staying focused on my ketogenic lifestyle.
just by quitting sugar and the intermittent fasting, i lost 28 lbs in 6 months, but i weigh 150-153 now and am at a good weight for a 6 foot man. i had incredible unexpected health benefits along with this. my shortness of breath, vision problems, and gerd are simply gone, which suggests to me a lot of internal problems i did not even know about have been healed. other things that occurred, hunger pangs are gone, my blood pressure is normal, my energy is very good as is happiness, BM's are less volume and less frequent, sex is much improved, and every meal tastes so good, it is like i have just been born and i am tasting things for the first time. i must have been very close to being diabetic and i feel like i have saved my life. i stay on the intermittent fasting as it feels perfect now that i am used to it. eating all day is simply an addiction, caused by the food industry to sell products. along this journey, i have found out about all the manufactured processed food being poison, along with much more about food and what to eat. i have come to see this as a spiritual journey, and there are people who try at every opportunity to derail me from chosen path, even when you have told them you are fasting and don't eat anything until evening. they offer food and act offended when you tell them repeatedly you are on your fast period and hand the food back to them. they even try to say it's ok cause it's not sugar in it. watch out for these saboteurs.
I lost close to 30 pounds in 2022 Feel so much better. I'm running, lifting weight, only eating a double dinner portion. Trekked 15miles on an empty stomach. Beast mode!!
Very inspired, Bart. 😀 Both of you young men…..👍….walk that talk…and walk it so well that so many more will take that first step now towards betterment in their own lives. Both of you being from 2 different walks of life, but also being so relatable….and now, so many will follow in your inspiring footsteps simply from watching today and being inspired by this video. 3 free range eggs on the stove, as I type this, (yes, Doc, I went back to eating a few of them…lol) but am still eating 3 meals a day, no snacking, as well, but occasionally, and only occasionally…lol….and weight loss isn’t really my challenge anymore…j just want to stay healthy and happy, and most can relate to that. Have a fabulous weekend, Gentlemen, and thanks again for living as examples in this mad world. ✌️
Love these kind of videos Dr. Berg, please do more of these. It's helpful to hear this working for so many other people and it's really motivational when you're feeling a bit down or motivation to keep going
Congrats and thank you for sharing your success. I have started OMAD with keto. When traveling, I have incorporated a plug in smokeless grill / griddle so I can make my own eggs or steak while traveling. There are also single plug in burners, skillets or George foremen grills as options.
It's such an uplifting and brings such positivity to my day seeing these stories !! Wtg Bart , here's to a healthy life !!! Thanks Dr. Berg , I signed up for your online liver course and I love the platform and I'll be looking for more online courses in the future . Wish you and your wife a great weekend 😊
Well done to Bart for making a change; having said that it is absolutely bananas that both of these men are 57. If I hadn’t read the video description I would have thought there was a 10-15 year age gap. You can clearly see the difference in skin eyes and hair that is a result of how long each individual has been committed to their own health. Congrats to Bart on getting a handle on his health.
Wonderful conversation between you two. For anyone contemplating this, know that OMAD and Keto are so much easier than you can imagine. The hardest part is fitting into the lives of friends and family NOT on the program. Hold. Your. Ground. Eat in, not out. And yes, yes, yes on the ongoing education with Dr. Berg's channel. He should be nominated for a Nobel Prize.
Congratulations Bart! I feel very inspired for the new year after hearing your story. I love how you share your daily routine, how to stay focused, how to handle eating out and how to get back on track! Thanks for sharing!
I’m a 70 yr woman, and went from 170 to 130 by leaning how to fast, plus exercising can work for me. Thank you so much Dr. Bert for all your videos, I still watch to help me along… diabetes runs in my family and watching,and helping my Mother go through, all her discomfort, I surely didn’t want that to happen to me. Supper happy with my journey.
So lovely to meet Bart and thank you so much for posting as this video helps support us all going on the keto journey. I always struggle due to my auto immune condition, but am determined this time to keep going and get to my goal weight in 2023 xx
I lost 30-35lb and I felt so good already. From 180 down to 145lb. I kept around 143_145lb. Very low carb. Lots of veggies, boiled meat, all kinds of meat. No more sugar adding in, just berries for fruit. But my fasting sugar still 97_99 in the morning. A1c 5.3. Not any med. Go keto, go low carb.
Im in Australia and found Dr Berg in March 2022 and started keto and IF end on March and lost over 40kgs (100lbs) in 6months and still slowly losing 💪🏼 thank you Dr Berg 💙
Dr Eric's videos are life changing. I've just started intermittent fasting 8 days ago 16/8, couple days 18/6. I've dropped 5lbs. Been doing hiit training. I'll be 63 in January, feel great.
I am not normally somebody who comments but I found this story very inspirational and I am so happy for that man and the way your channel has helped him achieve his goals. Thank you Dr Berg as I also watch your channel on a daily basis and it has helped me be more aware of what I am eating and my health in general
Congratulations Bart! Well done! I watch everyday and continue to try and focus on eating Keto. I am good with fasting 12-16 hours a day and eat around 1 pm then again around 4pm. I have been able to stay away from sugar and alcohol. The only thing I have to work on is to stay with Keto foods. That is what I am working on now. Thank you for all the videos you do.
Lost 100 lbs in just under 7 months doing carnivore and OMAD. Started doing two meals a day but quickly learned I could do OMAD. Lost 50 lbs in the first 3 months and probably could have lost the last 50 in 3 months but cheated on my diet 4 times due to anniversaries and such. I have maintained this weight loss for a year now and will finally get serious about the last 30 lbs I want to lose to reach my ultimate goal. I'm 55 yrs old btw and involved no exercise. I am no longer on any blood pressure medications. Once I get to my goal I might try Keto for maintenance.
This is an exciting result of your efforts. Thank you for sharing this interview. I'm looking forward to hearing how you are able to sustain this weight. You look so healthy and happy. It sounds like you are eating healthy and taking care to eat the best choices. Congratulations to you both! This is how the doctor-patient relationship is suppose to work.
This is such a great example of what it takes to change your mindset. I’ve recently read Bob Peoctor’s book ‘change your paradigm, change your life’ and this is a perfect example of the method of ‘repetition’ he advises. He suggest listening and reading information, over and over, until it gets into the subconscious mind. It seems that is what this gentleman did. I love Dr. Bergs teachings. I think I’ll start to watch his videos every single morning. A great idea to help stay focused and motivated!
I've been binge watching Dr Bergs videos, and came across this video. First of all, congrats to this man's amazing weight loss journey! I am a 54 year young mother of 4 and grandmother to 2 beautiful babies. My story is long, but I will try to keep it as short. In 2015 I was diagnosed with 3rd stage Renal Cell Carcinoma...aka kidney cancer. I had a radical nephrectomy 6 months later( kidney removal) and I lost a total of 70 lbs, during my ordeal. I have gained almost 100 lbs since then. I know how serious this is for me, since I only have 1 kidney. I started with intermittent fasting and walking yesterday. I know it's only been 2 days, but I hope and pray I can come back one day, and share a success story like many of you have.
Bart, you rock!! Congratulations 🎉 I found a lot of parallels in your strategies… I watch the Dr. Berg videos every day whether they apply to me or not; I even listen to all the Dr. Berg Live shows I’ve missed because always something helpful or someone asking a question I wonder about; I don’t buy the Keto snacks but instead cook for myself; and the big thing I agreed with was when you said: educate yourself! All the success stories like yours are very motivating and I’m very appreciative that you shared💚 I also have Alzheimer’s on both sides of my family so this lifestyle just becomes the only choice. And once you begin to pull the right levers with it, you’ll be so happy you gave it a try!!
Totally get it! I’ll go back and watch videos all the time! (Plan do review) even keto basics, super charge prolonged fast etc) I get so many tips and tricks on what to eat and how to fine tune my meals. It’s not a sprint to the finish, simple proper choices over time.
@@BartRatliff I went back and watched the video a second time and took notes on the parts of your process that made clear, practical sense to me. (I LOVE “plan-do-review”!) First, keeping meals simple at first will be important. Second, watching videos regularly to “renew the mind” - oh yes! I added a whole page of notes to my fasting journal - those are just two of the notes that stuck out.. This info just feels different to me. Deeply encouraged. 💜
Thanks Dr. B 7 mths ago my A1C was 14 and now 6.2. I’m 2 meals a day and lost 25LBS. With out the keto diet I could not do the intermittent fasting. Keto diet made it happen.❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍
Who else is learning alot from Dr.Eric?
Me for sure!
Me me me
Me too! And I also have to ask myself, why I have to go to UA-cam to get this terrific advice for my health. Why haven't I heard any of this from my physician? It's very upsetting. But I'm so grateful for Dr. Berg.
I'm learning I can't afford grass fed grass finished meat, organic eggs or anything organic, so I guess that leaves poor people out
@Joey Caps you don't have to man. You will get results without it. Im down 20 pounds in a month eating regular meat and bacon eggs butter. Lots of salads and avocados some nuts here and there.
To anybody who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind right now. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life. Amen🙏🙏🙏
Thank you. Amen🙏
May God Bless you 🙏 ❤️ ✨️ ♥️ and Thank you for being so Kind 🙏
I thought we were talking about weight loss
Thank you 😢
And too you as well! 🙏
I myself lost 40 pounds in four months. I went from 180 to 140. I eat steamed vegetables, fish, eggs, nuts, banana, apple or grapes along with 8 cups of water per day. I started with only 700 calories per day and gradually went up to 1800. I also take extra vitamins, minerals and herbs. In the last month I also had cataract surgery on both eyes. I feel like a new man. I am 5ft. 10in. and 65 years old. When I started my triglycerides were at 576 and that dropped to normal after the second week. Then my bad cholesterol dropped too normal as well. I eliminated refined sugar and processed foods. Now my blood pressure is 108/64 with a pulse rate of 58. Good luck in your adventure to find good health.
Is banana keto comliant -- thought it wasnt
Don. That is too fast. I lost a little over 40lbs. and took over a years- running and eating correctly. I still lost my gallbladder. It is a thing with rapid weight loss.
Nuts- Walnuts are best. Almonds are very high in Oxalates. Grapes are high in sugar. Most fruit should be avoided- just some org. blueberries are usually OK. I would stop with the vitamins- most are harmful and synthetic. I only take Magnesium Glycinate which most people should take. If you take D, you need to take it with K2- always.
Good job on your BP and pulse rate! No sugar is smart! When you drink water, I put a pinch of pink salt in it. It helps balance many things- read about it. Walking fast, jogging and some sprints might be very helpful to push to the next level. I would also do some resistance and flexibility training. More than just tris can cholesterol, you want to pay attention to the ration of TRIGLYCERIDES TO HDL. This is what matters. It should be 1.5 or less is good. 2.5 of more is a problem. For example, 200 (triglyceride level) / 55 (HDL) = 3.6 (triglyceride HDL ratio). This would be way too high and bad. Again, I cannot be clear enough, it is the RATIO that matters. Many docs will ignore this or even bother to tell you the score. They will however be very quick to write you a script for harmful drugs- like statins.
@@UTAH100 Cleaning the gall bladder of stones is one good way to rid the bladder of stones, parasites, etc. Has that been mentioned? I am sorry you lost an organ but I am wondering if there is a pre-cleanse protocol?
@@peggygenoway Thanks Peg. I don't think anyone really knows. Some speculate it can be the result of the liver- things slowing down, creating sludge. There was no magical flush that was going to fix me. It was super inflamed and ruptured. I tried and gave it time. If you ignore and waste time playing around it can progress to worse, chronic issues. My biggest thing now is the weight loss and more important, the inability to gain.
@Peggy Genoway Fresh squeezed Organic 🍋 juice clears out and breaks up stones and bone spurs.
I lost 90lbs in just over 2 months-- but I started with a FULL 6 day fast and lost 3 lbs per day, EVERYDAY during that first week; I weighed myself every morning. When I weighed myself again at the end of day 7, I was 22 lbs down for the week. Pretty incredible way to start your weight loss. So I started at 285 and got down to 263 in that first week, and then went on to get down to 192 in about 2 more months, just by eating small portions, only once a day. Mostly sticking to butter/ coconut butter, fatty meat and vegetables, plus a lot of bacon and eggs, many avocados and salted tomatoes; other than that it would be simple meals/ salmon and asparagus/ ribeye (or chuck-eye) steak w/ butter and spinach or Brussel sprouts or salad w/ ranch, etc, summer sausage slices and cheddar or muenster or Mazzarella, shrimp w/ butter, meatballs and broccoli or green beans, cheddar peppers w/ cream cheese wrapped in bacon (which I would dip in coconut butter now and then). cabbage and bacon (extra bacon), cheese burger without the bun (I would just eat the cheese melted burger with a fork and have the salted lettuce, tomato and onion on the side almost like a salad I guess)..
Basically just avoiding breads/ sugars/ starches/ and even fruits, especially no juices or any other sugar drinks, no coffee, no cereals, no cakes or pies, no candy, no ice cream, no alcohol, etc. Nothing that is sugar or will easily turn to sugar in the body; simply stick to meat and fats, vegetables and some cheese.
ALL in small portions. We're not gorging down a full plate. Just eat your vegetable and finish with the meat and even if you're not full, simply walk away from the food-- sit down and drink on a large glass of water. The satiation will catch up to you and you'll be plenty satisfied. This is one of the most important things that an obese person can learn: We don't have to eat until we are stuffed and can't eat anymore. Just because the food tastes good, doesn't mean that we have to stuff our face with it. Just eat your little portioned meal, and walk away until the next day- once you do this a few times, you will have more faith that you ate enough food -- because again, the satiation will catch up to you in another 10 minutes and you'll feel great that you're not loaded down with a full stomach, and you can still go about your day and move and work without feeling like you need to lay down and take a nap. STOP eating till full-- that is the main habit that will change your life.
Terrific! Congratulations!
Please, How many calories did you eat in that one meal & did you go Keto without sugar or starches??? Did you notice less pain in your body after your fast?
Thank you
@@ketoauntie7301 Yes, stay away from any sugar/ breads/ starches/ and even fruits/ and especially any juice/ soda/ etc... I ate a lot of bacon and eggs, avocados and salted tomato, salmon and asparagus, meatballs and cheddar, beef jerky, summer sausage and muenster cheese, Ribeye steak and broccoli, etc.. Keep it simple; Yes I guess it's basically a keto type diet. Only eat once per day and keep the portions small/ to reasonable. Eating too much at once will spike your blood sugar and kick you out of fat burning ketosis; also eating several times per day will do it too; So only once per day, stick with fatty meat and a vegetable, and then simply DON'T eat again until tomorrow.
Yes I felt amazing, with not having inflammation and pain present like I always do. After that second day of fasting, your body will have digested everything from your last meal and even pooped it out by then, and you will have burned up all your blood sugar by then too; so now you're fully 100% running off of your body fat, and you will notice it. You feel awesome, high motivation, high energy, good mood, hormones pumping and even heightened senses.. I can't recommend it enough. You should definitely do a fast.
How did you do the 6 day fast?!? What did you drink???
Enjoyed reading this.
I too did this, I lost 77lbs of 'inflammatory fat' in 5 months, I am in my 50's and only 5 feet tall! Thank you Dr.Berg!!
210 lbs in June, down to 177 lbs today. Intermittant fasting with one meal a day. I started Keto, then went to Carnivore because it was easier. I'm 66 feel like 46. I'm looking and feeling DAMN good. Thanks Dr. Berg!
How many calories do you eat in your OMAD, & can you give a meal example?
@@ketoauntie7301I never count calories. I eat only when i am hungry, what ever time of day that is..as much beef butter bacon eggs ( pork chicken too sometimes) usually a 16 oz ribeye or more maybe some eggs until I am comfortably stuffed. That's it.
Watching Dr Berg’s videos helped me to start fasting and start keto. I went from 163lbs to 115lbs. I’m 4 11’. People don’t even recognize me anymore. I have solved my inflammation. I have more energy, focus, motivation. If I start to lose motivation, I’ll just watch his videos to stay on track. People in college see my photos and they say I look like I never aged and I’m 48 years old. I just wish I had dr Berg in college to educate me because I struggled over the years with my weight and now I feel like I have found the cure to my disease, because obesity is a disease. Thanks, dr berg!
This is incredible to hear! Good luck to you ❤
This is inspiring! Thank you for sharing ❤
This is inspiring. I also am 4 11. I was 175lbs and got down to 155lbs doing keto & Intermittenting fasting. Though I gained 5lbs cheating & stress. I also want to be 115. You've motivated me to get back on it!
Yes, Dr. Berg has helped me too. I started watching his videos and interviews and both have been educational and motivational. I was skeptical at first about IF but seeing results 25lbs released in 2022 mostly with IF and some keto. Lots of inflammation gone and walking better and longer. My short term memory is improving as well. I’m going all in for 2023 - being more consistent with IF and keto foods.
Congratulations!!
Great success story, sounds a lot like mine but I'm 55 years old at 5'7 was 350 lbs and lost 125 lbs, had a 54" waist now 40" waist goal is to get to a 36" waste. I started Dr Bergs healthy keto plan back in March of this year, I haven't felt this good in years! Thank you Dr Berg!!!!
💐
That's amazing! You got me beat! I'm 63years old, 6' tall, started at 360lbs, got down to 256lbs, but I plateaued, got a foot injury, got discouraged, weight creeped back up to 297lbs. Recommitted this weekend and shooting for 225lbs - my honeymoon weight in 1998.
Keep it up!
Wtg!!! I've lost almost 80 lbs since oct of 2021 , Dr Berg is my go to guy for almost everything health 👍👍👍 heres to health
That’s so awesome! Well done!
@@oldtymer9106 you can do it!
Congratulations Bart. I caught Covid at the beginning of this year and probably lost about 20 pounds from not eating. When I got better my coworkers noticed that I lost weight and that was the swift kick in the butt that I needed to get healthier. Since then I’ve completely changed my diet and started exercising more and taking some supplements to help burn belly fat. Then I stumbled upon your channel on here and followed your advice with lemon water and apple cider vinegar and the weight has really come off the last 3 months since drinking the lemon water everyday. I’ve probably lost over 100 pounds since the beginning of the year.
Wow, well done
Congrats!!! Am so happy for you.
You must feel amazing @BigDiesel518 congrats!
Awesome, I’m so happy for you!
From one diesel to another, well done.
So Inspiring. I'm 55 and was 305 ( 2/1/23) I weighed in 1 month later at 279.6(3/1/23) doing OMAD! Such a blessing to hear a story from a guy my age, with my weight. THANK YOU! Just emotionally understanding that food isn't needed but once a day. I've done a few extended (2x48 hour) just because I didn't feel hugary.I'm 2 days into my first 72 hour fast and feeling awsome! Our food bill has gone down about $100.00 monthly and that is with eating more low carb, non processed real foods. Congratulations on helping to extend your life by 7-11 years. OMAD and a Keto type diet are working for me. Eating like the person I want to be. Excited to see what my true self looks like. I haven't been below 200 pounds since I was in grade school.
I started Keto 3 weeks ago after starting to watch your channel and have lost 20 pounds! I was 195, down to 175. Now I like my new diet, eggs, salad, less carbs and sugar, and fasting for 16-18 hours every day. Thank you!
wwo amazing! did you do any exercise? congrats !!
Me too. I was the guy who had breakfast and then was hungry so had 2nd BF. Now I am not (super) hungry, I know I need to eat but it is not URGENT like is was before. Just having my first meal of the day at 6:30pm and am struggling to finish it. So for the month about ten kilos (a lot will be water) but what a difference. My head is a different shape physically and MENTALLY much more get up and go.
You can see how Great He feels. I have been Healthy and happy.... but, I have been very sick for 5 to 7 years...spinal issues and lupus... among many other issues. I have been sad, mad and depressed. But, I am ready to be Healthy and Happy again. Today is day 1. Thanks to both Dr Berg and this gentleman. 👏 👏 👏 I am hopeful.
I know your situation all too well, as I am in the same situation and I feel all the feelz.
Deborah Bennett, you can do it. I pray that God gives you the strength to maintain. Have faith and ask Holy Spirit to help you because He will. He's a helper and know this, God has a plan for you to give you a future and a hope.
Possibly, some of Dr Berg’s videos on the spine and on lupus can help too ❤
I think Bart being single is probably one of the greatest contributors to his success. I can remember how motivated I was when I was single and how easy it was to stick to my routines and new habits. I think the reason for this is 1. You’re motivated to look good for your future partner 2. It’s easier to stick to routines and habits without having anyone else around to tempt you at home and throw you off your routine 3. You have full control over groceries and what’s kept in the house. You don’t have to consider anyone else’s needs when grocery shopping or planning/preparing meals. I attribute more than half my struggles to weight loss with my social influences. I get tempted or thrown for a loop almost daily and in the beginning, it’s so hard to say no several times a day. Especially if I’m stressed or unprepared. And the majority of those influences are not relationships I can part with to make life easier, so I have to learn to manage them better (spouse, family, coworkers).
Well said! Congratulations...on similar journey.
I came here to write exactly what you wrote!! Its so much easier to do this as a single person. Plus if he wants kids - well.....food wise that is going to be a tough one. Today my partner brought home a mega bag of cheese chips and declared "because I wanted to". Its my weakness. I'd prefer it was out of the house. But I'm only part of this household. Its difficult.
Cher I was not single when I started, six weeks into it we separated and I went through a divorce …
I am a widow and can attest that it is much easier to do OMAD intermittent fast/keto style eating with only me to deal with. I doubt I would have been able to stick with this plan if my husband was still alive. I would think it hard to convince a partner to do this big of a cultural change to their lifetime eating habits.
You don't want to look good for your spouse? You want to look good to hook a mate, but don't care after he or she is hooked? This is false advertising, and disrespectful.
Bart you look amazing! Thank you Dr. Berg for instilling in our heads the benefits of fasting and Keto. ❤
My 3 month weight loss is 25lbs, I don't want to lose the weight too fast. It took years to gain it so I feel like taking 1 year to lose it is fine. My favorite quote is from Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse when he's asked what he can do. His response is, "I can think. I can wait. And I can fast." If you can do these three things you'll have success.
Thank you Dr. Berg, I too am down 100 lb in 14 months, back to my high school/ U.S. Army weight and measurements! Your ACTIONABLE explainer videos are wonderful tools.
Amazing Dr. Berg! I’ve learned so much from you and tell everyone how you’re changing my life with your informative videos. Thank you for sharing and taking your time to do this!
Way to go!!
Congratulations, Bart !! 😁
I LOST 75 POUNDS in 6 months !! I have about 15-20 more pounds to get off, and I WILL !!😁 For 8 long years, I was so overweight, and have been using a walker because of bad nerve damage in both feet. I NEVER THOUGHT I could lose weight, since I couldn't exercise. Thank goodness, I happened to see Dr. Berg's videos, and started watching. Before I went on this program, I watched several videos on what sugar and carbs do to our bodies. It psyched me up to stay on this program. I'm SO happy that Dr. Berg and Karen have many videos on Keto desserts, to satisfy my sweet tooth. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Dr. Berg !!! 😁😁😁
Congratulations Bart and thank you for sharing your journey. Very inspiring. Thank you Dr Berg for this interview.
I’m on Day 1. I have been watching your videos for a few days now. I have no idea what I weight but I know that my belly fat is not healthy. I probably have about 60-70 to lose. I was happy to see Bart’s results and particularly how he watches your videos every morning to stay focused. I will ne doing two meals per day cuz I love breakfast! Wish me luck!
How are you doing ?
I started an OMAD, mostly keto diet the Monday before Thanksgiving 2022. I weighed 266. I had an appointment with my Oncologist (Prostate cancer) on January 31, 2023. I weighed 222. I'm down 44 pounds in a little over 2.5 months. May PSA has been going up .1 or .2 every 6 months. My previous visit my PSA was 2.7. That was 3 months ago. This visit my PSA was 1.5. Sometimes my PSA stays the same, but it never goes down. The only difference this time is by the grace of God I stumbled into Dr. Berg and learned about what intermittent fasting and a keto diet can do for weight loss and how it can impact cancer cells.
I hope this guy does find a family. I'm 55 and am in the same boat. Keep it going, sir!
Thanks for your kind words!
He really cares about persons who want to improve their health. He is so different to most doctors.
I lost 51 pounds so far (30 more to go) from 261 to 210. Started by eliminating sugar which made it easy to lose the craving for bread, potatoes, rice etc. then to keto and intermittent fasting. Omad works but I find that I kind of need to mix it up with 16/8 days to get the max benefits. Dr bergs videos were critical in this life changing transformation. This is not a diet but I am committed to making this a permanent life style change.
What is 16/8
@kutima 16 hours fasting and 8 hours eating window
Kudos to your for taking your health into your hands 👍
This video is what I needed. I lost on this program; got my type II diabetes in control and so much more. My spouse kept bringing me bowls of ice cream and candy when he knew I was OMAD and zero sugar. I got tired of fighting it so I quit. Weight came back, diabetes came back along with all the inflammation and pain. This video has helped motivate me again. Thanks
@@debihester7284 I agree ☝️ such attitude doesn’t look like much but it’s really criminal 😢
Watching Dr. Berg's daily videos definitely motivate me to stay the course. If I fall off, I get right back on. I will forever be grateful for his teachings on Keto, clean eating and intermittent fasting. 🙏
I do the same, though I got out of it for awhile. Back on it now!
I remember reading comments about how much weight people were losing and thought, "why isn't it working for me"? (LOL I'm literally writing this while he started talking about the stress! Lol)
Well I had started the intermittent fasting. It helped greatly with my blood sugar/pressure, and I was feeling better. Then I had a climax stress event with family, that ended up with me trying to figure out why I couldn't sleep! For a month! In that time, I had already found Dr Berg when looking into the IF. He instantly popped up when I searched for help with the insomnia! I did what I could on the stress, but it took a long time to get that turned around. Well a year later, and I'm down about 35lbs! From growing out of my 36x30 pants, and now my old 34x30's are loose! I've learned some amazing brain science related information I share with anyone interested, that has totally changed the emotional stress angle! I'm very excited, and would encourage anyone listing for answers, keep at it! It works and you will find answers!
Wow 🤩 this is so awesome 👏 I so wish my family to read this ❤ thank you so much for sharing ❤
I have lost 42 lbs in four months watching and learning from you I started probiotics and turmeric and stopped sugar and mostly bread gotta have my hamburger I fast 22 hours a day and eat what I want mainly shrimp chicken and of course my wagyu hamburgers I feel great no more foot pain leg pain and my headaches has almost stopped
Hi, can I ask what time of day are you fasting?
I started listening to Dr.Berg back in May when I weighed 230. By applying his knowledge I lost 30 lbs.
Well done Bart! 🎉 You look amazing!
Thank you for mentioning grass fed, grass finished beef and organic salad. So many people don't understand how important it is to eat clean and how much that will effect your results and overall health.
Hearing you speak was so inspiring, I also start my day with Dr. Berg's newest videos. It's a great way to start every day in a healthy mind-set 😊 I want to give you a hug to say 'Thank you!'
I lost 78 pound with keto and intermittent fasting 22 hour. 6 months I discovered your video’s and decided to follow it properly and was amazed not only with the results but how friendly it was. The experience is fantastic I can’t thank you enough. It is so nice to have stories like this gentleman and the other’s you had in the past always inspirational great. I sent your keto diet to many of my friends and family thanks again. Marc Teleki from Switzerland leaving in Australia have a great Xmas 😊
I started 199.6 on 9/18/22 and today I weighed in at 145.8(-53.8lbs)
this guy in the video is eating a half lb of beef and a salad with some cheese and oil a day. hes not breaking 1300 calories. i did a rough build on cronometer and its 1255. how in the hell do you not fly into a murderous rage at work?
Keep it up Matt!
Outstanding Matt!
How did you lose your weight? Congratulations!!
@@dkillips If you are eating the right types of food, your emotions don’t rule your life.
I lost 65lbs in 6 months. Life Changing. Thanks, Dr. Berg! I am 52 years old 6'1", was 270, now 205. 190-200 should be a great weight for me. I am doing Keto and OMAD., will transition to 2 meals a day when I hit my goal.
Congratulations, thats quite an achievement!! ...I am 54, need to go from 230lb to 190lb... gotta go for it!!!
@@tbgoog You can do it!👍
Amazing hard work and focus…looking amazing Bart!
This is really awesome. I started at 345 and I'm down to 318. I've been mainly following nsng which is similar to keto except I can't have any type of sugar. I also do 1.5 meals a day which is one meal in the evening but I have a smoothie made with frozen berries, almond milk, full fat yogurt, and peanut butter for my first meal. I usually have the smoothie between 10:30 & noon and then my meal is usually about 7pm just because of my schedule. I'm not having as much success as I was hoping but success is still success. I would love to lose 90 lbs in 5 months. I know my overall health would improve which is a huge concern. I currently have digestive issues and heart disease that I'm trying to combat.
Can you eat your 2nd or last meal at 5 pm? Then take digestive enzymes to help break food n nutrients down and take a probiotic to help with your gut issues. My nutritionist told me that and it helped me a lot. I have heart disease and Hashimoto’s dz. Hope this helps you
Well done Bart! Thanks for sharing. I started with 18/6 IF and then listened to my body and it felt natural to move to 20/4, then OMAD. I too am grateful for Dr. Berg! Just 6 weeks into my journey, you are an inspiration!
I so much needed to hear this , this morning...I am at that crossroads in my life!
THANK YOU BOTH GENTLEMEN
Awesome brother! I’m enjoying my keto/Omad journey. I’m down 35lbs in 1month and feel amazing. My gut is healed. Asthma is virtually gone. My taste and smell is extremely sensitive which I had lost after the virus. Fixed* so many things are changing it’s incredible. And it’s amazing how well your brain works when you give it premium fuel!!!
No Hunger between the meals?
No dizziness?

I'm down 90 pounds since last year at this time... hopefully it will be 100 by Christmas... you have been very helpful as part of my research on what my body needs to be healthy, thank you.
Bart getting your health back is so important, congratulations ! I too got my health back from Dr bergs great keto information! I fast 18 hrs I'm 2 meals a day , I do hit strength training full body workout 1 set only to absolute muscle failure , I do this only 2 x a week but the results for me along with keto have been amazing - Bart again I'm so happy for you ! Happy holidays !
I'm on Day 16 and have lost 14lbs already. The best bit is i feel so much better (although i'm 3 days in to a cold!!!). I've been on 2 x low carb meals a day but i'm already leaning more towards a more carnivore diet. I used to wake up every morning with soreness in both shoulders (from sleeping on my side), that soreness/inflamation has gone. My dry skin has started to clear up too. I'm 49, 6ft and 309lbs. I find this story so inspiring. My wife and 2 kids in their 20's aren't on the same diet as me so we do have plenty of temptations in the kitchen cupboards but i've been strong.... so far. It's great to see so many comments of people on the same journey 🙂
At 70, the last 3 years have been amazing. I discovered Dr Berg since the beginning of this year so learned about eating Keto, Intermittent Fasting and OMAD from another Dr
but continue learning from all that I follow. Lemon water ✔, ACV am and pm ✔, big bowl with salad and protein ✔, daily exercise ✔. As far as going out to eat, no problem. I eat Keto and don't put anything in my mouth I don't want. I am totally in control, never snack and am never hungry. It's been a process. Like Bart, I feel better than almost 40 years.
We are average people that started on this journey and you can too. It's
never too late to be healthier. 🙏 💪
Edit: I have never gotten on a scale but know by my clothes. I recently had to donate a bunch of clothes as I've gone from 18/20 to 8/10. Also recently I've had a downsizing "spurt", even my legs. Like I said, at my age, amazing. But we can do this at our age!
We don't need fancy recipes, just eat
from around the outside aisles of the store. Stay away from processed.
Also, not on any meds at all.
It would be great to hear a woman who had a rapid weight loss experience and exactly how she did it and what she consumed.
This is a great video I was at 262lbs one year ago and I ran across dr.berg on utube one day and started the keto plan , and now I'm down to 208lbs and I got down to this weight in about 4months and I'm still on the plan and going good!
Fantastic video. Is there one with a menopausal 50+ woman also? This one inspired me. I’d love to hear from ladies of a certain age like me. ❤
This is a testimony of determination, and willpower! Helps me to stay focused I need help to get started! You are my inspiration I like to understand the why! I do the same in watching the videos every morning on waking up! And I ask the question and share with family… I will not give up! Thank you Bart
I've found the need for willpower (or "won't" power - lol!) goes away once you break the carb addiction. You just eat and do what you know you gotta do. Make it thru that first week to ten days and then its pretty much clear sailing!
Of course, like any addiction (or bad habit), it's always lurking in the background waiting for a moment of weakness to comeback into your life. The cost of freedom (and good health) is eternal vigilance.
I agree with Old Tymer, it gets easier after the first couple weeks. When I started Healthy Keto I thought no way could I just have one meal a day, but soon it all changed and I just wasn’t hungry and my cravings went away. I’m 70 yrs old and beginning my 4th week, down 20#. Good luck!
Fantastic! I am also a huge Dr. Berg fan! I’ve lost 50 pounds and have kept it off for almost a year! Never going back to an unhealthy lifestyle!
Way to go Bart! I got my keto start with Dr. Berg and was so excited to hear your interview after your Facebook posts the last few months.
Great interview. He is well informed and insightful on his experience.
I'm glad you found it. Hope it helped.

I have lost 55 lbs since May using Dr. Berg's youtube advice. Started 240, today 184. I fast from 6 to noon with only 2 eggs for "lunch". Chicken, beef, broccoli and cauliflower are my basics for dinner meals. Fresh Strawberries for dessert. Apple Cider Vinegar before each "meal". Also I started walking 5 miles at least 5 days a week in the morning while still fasting. The best part is I am convinced I can do this forever
That's a great idea...Dr Berg do ANOTHER video of all the products you use and where to find them all 😊..Dec 25-22 will be 6 months..down 26lbs..
Thank you!
I have been struggling with my weight for over five years now. I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. There are days I don't know how I will go on like this if I continue to gain more and more weight. Let's just say that I am absolutely miserable in my own skin. After many prayers, expensive consultations, and programs I cannot afford but desperately need-I stumbled upon Dr. Berg's videos. First, it was the knee pain video that made me feel better instantly and that was it. I watch one video a day and have shared his videos with so many people including those in South America. I am in tears after watching this video because I have hope that maybe this is finally it! The answered prayers. I pray for peace for anyone who is suffering like I have been for so many years and I pray that God continues to bless Dr. Berg with wisdom.
Just started into Keto program about a month ago, mainly in order to bring down my glucose levels and became totally immersed in Dr. Berg's videos after watching the "2 weeks without sugar" video, and I'm already down about 6 or 7 lbs. so far, and yes the belt has another notch tighter :) but what I really love the most (other than never feeling hungry) is I feel soooo much better! My goal is to get from 215 to about 180 or so - I finally know it indeed is a doable thing, I just needed the right information - God bless you, Dr. Berg!
I started my omad fasting it's only a week now but I'm feeling so healthy gastric ulcer gone ,from 99kgs I'm now 96kg in only a week ,I will be here to inform you how it goes in 5 month.
Edit now 2 months lost 12,5kg
15kgs gone
17kgs gone

Now lost 12,5kg 2 months
Greetings Doctor Berg, and everyone,
I have been on Ketogenic for a year and 10 months, and also adding OMD to my great life but OMD is not a stranger to me I use to fast a lot when I was in my teens and while I was in college, especially in my late twenties. I always fasted and I always felt amazing when fasting.
Fasting has been in my life and I know the amazing feeling of a good fast and the benefits of fasting. The excess weight came on me after a broken marriage but it was not the marriage it was me who have to take the responsibility for my oneness with myself to understand that it’s up to me what I want out of weight loss and not temporary just to get in a swimsuit or a new dress but for the healthy lifestyle for a healthy body.
Keto for me is taking every step with care while losing weight to avoid loose skin and majorly learning more about my lifestyle choices for the future because this is a lifestyle for me mentally and physically.
I’m feeling great but knowledge is powerful to understand obesity to use our acknowledge to fight obesity, with respect and understanding that we must not make any excuses for our weight gain but take full responsibility to understand the cause of weight gain when it comes to our pass eating habits by eating an overwhelming amount of carbohydrate. This is a list of food I have eliminated from going into my body that causes health problems and especially foods that was processed and full of sugar and especially foods that has sugar. I don’t drink soda, eat bread, grits, rice, beans, pasta, pizza, fast food, ice cream, cakes, cookies, candies, no keto snacks filled with sugar substitutes, and no sugary fruits. I turned to whole food and my eyesight is amazing and my blood pressure became normal. I don’t have diabetes but I knew I had to do something before going down the road of disaster.
This is a life changer for me. I have to use the slow and steady way of losing weight not rushing but doing it with my body adjusting to the new progress of losing weight naturally and safely. I love when you said Doctor Berg, that exercising is great while losing weight not to overdo the exercises while losing weight but do our exercises Moderately.
I took the advice and I have lost 76 pounds. In one year and 10 months but I’m still losing weight and staying focused on my ketogenic lifestyle.
@@MyLivingJournal OMAD = One Meal A Day
just by quitting sugar and the intermittent fasting, i lost 28 lbs in 6 months, but i weigh 150-153 now and am at a good weight for a 6 foot man. i had incredible unexpected health benefits along with this. my shortness of breath, vision problems, and gerd are simply gone, which suggests to me a lot of internal problems i did not even know about have been healed. other things that occurred, hunger pangs are gone, my blood pressure is normal, my energy is very good as is happiness, BM's are less volume and less frequent, sex is much improved, and every meal tastes so good, it is like i have just been born and i am tasting things for the first time. i must have been very close to being diabetic and i feel like i have saved my life. i stay on the intermittent fasting as it feels perfect now that i am used to it. eating all day is simply an addiction, caused by the food industry to sell products. along this journey, i have found out about all the manufactured processed food being poison, along with much more about food and what to eat. i have come to see this as a spiritual journey, and there are people who try at every opportunity to derail me from chosen path, even when you have told them you are fasting and don't eat anything until evening. they offer food and act offended when you tell them repeatedly you are on your fast period and hand the food back to them. they even try to say it's ok cause it's not sugar in it. watch out for these saboteurs.
Yes, it’s really to deal with such people…
I lost close to 30 pounds in 2022
Feel so much better. I'm running, lifting weight, only eating a double dinner portion. Trekked 15miles on an empty stomach.
Beast mode!!
His energy and happiness is enough to motivate others. Just awesome!
We greatly appreciate your positive comment!
Please give thumbs up Dr. Berg does a lot for us. Let's encourage his hardwork and the free ressources that help us change our lives.
Thanks! I appreciate it.
Very inspired, Bart. 😀 Both of you young men…..👍….walk that talk…and walk it so well that so many more will take that first step now towards betterment in their own lives. Both of you being from 2 different walks of life, but also being so relatable….and now, so many will follow in your inspiring footsteps simply from watching today and being inspired by this video. 3 free range eggs on the stove, as I type this, (yes, Doc, I went back to eating a few of them…lol) but am still eating 3 meals a day, no snacking, as well, but occasionally, and only occasionally…lol….and weight loss isn’t really my challenge anymore…j just want to stay healthy and happy, and most can relate to that. Have a fabulous weekend, Gentlemen, and thanks again for living as examples in this mad world. ✌️
Love these kind of videos Dr. Berg, please do more of these. It's helpful to hear this working for so many other people and it's really motivational when you're feeling a bit down or motivation to keep going
Congrats and thank you for sharing your success. I have started OMAD with keto. When traveling, I have incorporated a plug in smokeless grill / griddle so I can make my own eggs or steak while traveling. There are also single plug in burners, skillets or George foremen grills as options.
It's such an uplifting and brings such positivity to my day seeing these stories !! Wtg Bart , here's to a healthy life !!! Thanks Dr. Berg , I signed up for your online liver course and I love the platform and I'll be looking for more online courses in the future . Wish you and your wife a great weekend 😊
Well done to Bart for making a change; having said that it is absolutely bananas that both of these men are 57.
If I hadn’t read the video description I would have thought there was a 10-15 year age gap. You can clearly see the difference in skin eyes and hair that is a result of how long each individual has been committed to their own health.
Congrats to Bart on getting a handle on his health.
He is using a video filter that smooths out the wrinkles. Many youtubers do that.
Wonderful conversation between you two. For anyone contemplating this, know that OMAD and Keto are so much easier than you can imagine. The hardest part is fitting into the lives of friends and family NOT on the program. Hold. Your. Ground. Eat in, not out. And yes, yes, yes on the ongoing education with Dr. Berg's channel. He should be nominated for a Nobel Prize.
Congratulations Bart! I feel very inspired for the new year after hearing your story. I love how you share your daily routine, how to stay focused, how to handle eating out and how to get back on track! Thanks for sharing!
I’m a 70 yr woman, and went from 170 to 130 by leaning how to fast, plus exercising can work for me. Thank you so much Dr. Bert for all your videos, I still watch to help me along… diabetes runs in my family and watching,and helping my Mother go through, all her discomfort, I surely didn’t want that to happen to me. Supper happy with my journey.
So lovely to meet Bart and thank you so much for posting as this video helps support us all going on the keto journey. I always struggle due to my auto immune condition, but am determined this time to keep going and get to my goal weight in 2023 xx
That’s amazing. High five Bart and God bless you Dr. Berg for all you do for us.
Awesome!
Congrats on the transformation Sir and have a great rest of life!! 🎉
✌🏼😎👍🏼
Thanks for watching!
This is so inspiring‼️The positive changes you've made are so amazing. You look so much younger and your skin is glowing. Congratulations🎉🎉
I lost 30-35lb and I felt so good already. From 180 down to 145lb. I kept around 143_145lb. Very low carb. Lots of veggies, boiled meat, all kinds of meat. No more sugar adding in, just berries for fruit. But my fasting sugar still 97_99 in the morning. A1c 5.3. Not any med. Go keto, go low carb.
Loved hearing your story! Extremely inspirational!!! Do not give up! ❤️
Very inspiring for sure! Dr Berg is really proud of us! You can really feel the truth and energy in these transformations videos!
✌🏼😎👍🏼
Im in Australia and found Dr Berg in March 2022 and started keto and IF end on March and lost over 40kgs (100lbs) in 6months and still slowly losing 💪🏼 thank you Dr Berg 💙
Amazing story! This sweet man has inspired me to start my diet/fasting tomorrow.
Glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching!
Dr. Berg's Support Team.
Dr Eric's videos are life changing. I've just started intermittent fasting 8 days ago 16/8, couple days 18/6. I've dropped 5lbs. Been doing hiit training. I'll be 63 in January, feel great.
I have watched this video five or six times and I’m sure I’ll watch it again thank you so much is been such a blessing
Perfect timing for this video..I just got back on track yesterday...i needed this video for motivation
I am not normally somebody who comments but I found this story very inspirational and I am so happy for that man and the way your channel has helped him achieve his goals. Thank you Dr Berg as I also watch your channel on a daily basis and it has helped me be more aware of what I am eating and my health in general
Congratulations Bart! Well done! I watch everyday and continue to try and focus on eating Keto. I am good with fasting 12-16 hours a day and eat around 1 pm then again around 4pm. I have been able to stay away from sugar and alcohol. The only thing I have to work on is to stay with Keto foods. That is what I am working on now. Thank you for all the videos you do.
Lost 100 lbs in just under 7 months doing carnivore and OMAD. Started doing two meals a day but quickly learned I could do OMAD. Lost 50 lbs in the first 3 months and probably could have lost the last 50 in 3 months but cheated on my diet 4 times due to anniversaries and such. I have maintained this weight loss for a year now and will finally get serious about the last 30 lbs I want to lose to reach my ultimate goal. I'm 55 yrs old btw and involved no exercise. I am no longer on any blood pressure medications. Once I get to my goal I might try Keto for maintenance.
What do u eat on omad basically
@@SreeM. Carnivore stuff. Meat. 1 lb of ground beef. Or a good size steak. Good videos by Dr Berg or Berry explaining the diet.
Fantastic achievement Bart!
Your change in eating habits (and content of those meals) is amazing.
Very encouraged by your experience thank you for being with us on our journey, to better health! You are a moral support!
This is an exciting result of your efforts. Thank you for sharing this interview. I'm looking forward to hearing how you are able to sustain this weight. You look so healthy and happy. It sounds like you are eating healthy and taking care to eat the best choices. Congratulations to you both! This is how the doctor-patient relationship is suppose to work.
Congratulations Bart! And to Dr Berg for informing and inspiring so many people.
This is such a great example of what it takes to change your mindset. I’ve recently read Bob Peoctor’s book ‘change your paradigm, change your life’ and this is a perfect example of the method of ‘repetition’ he advises. He suggest listening and reading information, over and over, until it gets into the subconscious mind. It seems that is what this gentleman did.
I love Dr. Bergs teachings. I think I’ll start to watch his videos every single morning. A great idea to help stay focused and motivated!
I've been binge watching Dr Bergs videos, and came across this video.
First of all, congrats to this man's amazing weight loss journey!
I am a 54 year young mother of 4 and grandmother to 2 beautiful babies.
My story is long, but I will try to keep it as short.
In 2015 I was diagnosed with 3rd stage Renal Cell Carcinoma...aka kidney cancer.
I had a radical nephrectomy 6 months later( kidney removal)
and I lost a total of 70 lbs, during my ordeal.
I have gained almost 100 lbs since then. I know how serious this is for me, since I only have 1 kidney.
I started with intermittent fasting and walking yesterday.
I know it's only been 2 days, but I hope and pray I can come back one day, and share a success story like many of you have.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are very inspiring Bart.
All the best!
1 meal is very challenging! Congratulations on your results 😊
Thanks for the comment.
After Thanksgiving, as usual, needed this positive kick in the booty to dive back into healthy practices. Thanks to both for this video.
I loved your questions that you asked Dr. Berg. Those were the same ones I had in my head. Thanks for always being awesome.
congrats! Hard work pays off! You're a wonderful example.
Thanks for being real about social situations.
I watch Dr.Berg and Dr. "Ek"Berg, pretty similar Dr's advising on fasting and keto and with illness and conditions etc.. Love them both 💕
Bart, you rock!! Congratulations 🎉
I found a lot of parallels in your strategies… I watch the Dr. Berg videos every day whether they apply to me or not; I even listen to all the Dr. Berg Live shows I’ve missed because always something helpful or someone asking a question I wonder about; I don’t buy the Keto snacks but instead cook for myself; and the big thing I agreed with was when you said: educate yourself! All the success stories like yours are very motivating and I’m very appreciative that you shared💚 I also have Alzheimer’s on both sides of my family so this lifestyle just becomes the only choice. And once you begin to pull the right levers with it, you’ll be so happy you gave it a try!!
I sometimes feel like I'm drowning as I try to put all of the pieces together. This video was very helpful. Thank you both!
Totally get it! I’ll go back and watch videos all the time! (Plan do review) even keto basics, super charge prolonged fast etc) I get so many tips and tricks on what to eat and how to fine tune my meals. It’s not a sprint to the finish, simple proper choices over time.
@@BartRatliff I went back and watched the video a second time and took notes on the parts of your process that made clear, practical sense to me. (I LOVE “plan-do-review”!) First, keeping meals simple at first will be important. Second, watching videos regularly to “renew the mind” - oh yes! I added a whole page of notes to my fasting journal - those are just two of the notes that stuck out.. This info just feels different to me. Deeply encouraged. 💜
This guy is great to listen to, he’s so genuine! Thank You, have him on more for often please, very encouraging.❤️
Thank you!
Thanks Dr. B 7 mths ago my A1C was 14 and now 6.2. I’m 2 meals a day and lost 25LBS. With out the keto diet I could not do the intermittent fasting. Keto diet made it happen.❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing your success story! This is very inspiring.
You're always so gracious, Dr. Berg. I want to share my story with you
