    All I know is that I lost over 100 pounds in 12 months on keto, eating 2 meals per day within a 6 hour window. I'm now at my perfect weight and at 70 years young, I've never felt better in my life. I joined a gym several months ago and it's amazing how quickly the muscle is popping back on. No regrets here.

      ​@@dagneytaggart407 hey there, don't lose hope. I'm here with you. I have at least 150 lbs to lose if not a little bit more. I have felt like there was no hope so many times but don't give up. I'm looking to God for my help but God expects us to put legs to our prayers and do our part. Do not give up. You can do it with God's help. I know where you are because I've walked it am walking it right now. Don't lose hope and never give up never never give up! There is hope to kill out all the despair you feel. I know one thing, I am looking to God for my help but I'm also going to do my part and began helping myself and learning different ways to eat and when not to eat the way they are talking here and other places on these motivational channels. Find one thing to change and work on that and then start adding small changes after that. Pretty soon it'll be a big snowball and you'll be so happy having made the effort.😂 And one day you will be the way you want to be but you have to be the one to make the effort. No one can do it for you just like I have learned that nobody can do it for me. I had the best trainers I had everything money could buy and I still gained all the weight back. Effort has to be made for a drastic change. You can do it. I know for one that I can do it as long as God helps me, but I know I first have to prove to him that I mean business. YOU can make it if you try!

    In Jan. 2022 at 60, i looked in the mirror after weighing 240lbs.I was disgusted with myself. I was on 7 medications. Two were Alzheimers (I was diagnosed in 2014 at Atlanta’s most reputable brain center, by the most reputable neurologist with a Degenerative Brain Disease (NOS), three were blood pressure, one was long term Nexium for all the acid reflux and one was for sleep. I didnt go on a diet, i changed my diet. I ate two meals each day. My calorieswere 2,000 per day 70% fat, 25% protein, 5% net carbs (big A$$ raw, multi-veg salad every day). Two weeks later I was never hungry so I ate my 2,000 cals in 4 hour window late afternoon. I started walking every other day and worked up to 8 miles in 2 hours. June 2022, i had the best blood test results ever. October 2022, I weighed 190 lbs. Today, I still eat the same way, continue to walk, weigh 190lbs and with the guidance of my doctors got off my 7 medication.

I will eat some nuts (pecans, walnuts &/or pistachios) a few hours later. Pistachios are dangerous. I buy a 3 lb bag of “in the shell” I can go through those fast since they are so delicious. I try and stick with pecans and walnuts. Also, in the morning I have two cups of coffee. Late morning I have an electrolyte slushy (12oz. Lime infused water, scoop of electrolyte powder, 1 tablespoon MCT oil and 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar blended with 12 oz of ice). It very important to make sure you are getting electrolytes especially potassium & magnesium. I do this before I walk.

    When you hit a plateau, you can reset your metabolism two ways.
    By intermittent fasting or a much much easier way.
    Have a cheat day. Go off the diet just for one day. Your body resets. The next day back on the keto.
    Three days later more pounds come off.

      your body will get used to it over time you will develop non diabetic hypoglycemia, I did IF 18/6 and Keto for 8 months and now have to eat micro meals every 2-3 hours and I always carry Glucose Tablets incase my Blood Sugar drops usually midday when I used to break a fast. Your body has an internal clock like sleep for eating it gets used to patterns which if you do to the extreme like I did for prolonged periods will have negative effects on your body . My advice is fast 2-3 times per week not everyday you don't get any benefits and 14-16 hours isn't fasting just a time restricted window of eating. Your body should naturally want to fast after a large meal at the end of the day anyway. Its the old advice that ultimetly works stay away from processed food and exercise for a healthy balanced lifestyle.

    I just wanted to share this as it may possibly help someone else, but for a long time I used to drink coffee with a little heavy cream throughout the day during my fasting period, but I started to feel some really weird, strong negative reactions to coffee, so I decided to take a break from the coffee and switched over to tea instead for a while (with no cream generally except for once a week on Sunday), and one side effect was that weight started absolutely falling off when I made that switch. I think that the coffee and the cream were stopping me from truly getting into a fasted state, but with just plain tea with no added sugar or cream, I’m truly getting into a fasted state and it completely un-stalled my weight loss.

    • @marcusmoonstein242

      It might be just the cream and not the coffee. I've noticed that I still drop weight if I drink black unsweetened coffee, but if I eat my favorite cream-based keto ice cream my weight loss stops dead for that day, even though I'm still in ketosis. I've read that some people just can't lose weight if they eat dairy, and I think I'm one of them. This might apply to you as well. The best way to find out is to experiment and see what works for you. Good luck with the diet!

      @2Truth4Liberty Рік тому +39

      Yes, heavy cream is absolutely loaded with calories. It may not spike your insulin much, but floods you with fat. The body will burn THAT fat rather than converting fat stored in our body.
      It's not quite as black and white as that since ketosis is more of a continuum rather than on/off, but you get the idea.
      I had the same problem, drinking cream in coffee every day, and when I stopped the cream (even while still frinking coffee) things changed for the better.
      I use "Pure Sweet" stevia (extract powder) in coffee and tea (those are my "deserts" if you will) and stay away from stevia mixed with other ingredients (like dextrose, etc.)
      The only "dairy" I use now is . . . Butter.
      Butter seems to be quite different than any other dairy based product.

      Don't beat yourself up. There are no guarantees in life, and your grandmother may not have been helped at all by keto. My grandmother had cancer and survived it multiple times over several years while eating nothing but chocolate cake, pickles, and smoking (yes we told her to stop many, many times). Clearly not a healthy diet at all, but it was just how her disease was. Friends of my parents ate an extremely strict vegan diet, ran all the time, and still died of a heart attack in their early 60s.

    Word of Encouragement for anyone who reads this. I've been doing what I had no idea was pretty much Keto my entire life and way before I had even heard of it. Even as a child. I rarely ate candy or sweets. I never liked chips or soda and I never cared for cake and ice cream at any birthday party. The first Pepsi I drank I was around 16 years old and I hated the smell of doughnuts. Sounds strange I know. I was a thin child and teenager. I'm now 65 years old and weigh 116 lbs. I'm 5'6 ...No, I don't look anorexic it's just me.
    I've never weighed more than 128 lbs my entire life. Yes! I've eaten fast food at times and some junk when pressed for time but it's not a way of life. I've always loved certain vegetables with loads of real butter and meats raised on farms, wild Salmon, free range eggs and poultry. Never low fat anything, good real fats. Many spices. Onions and Garlic. Eggs galore! Tuna and Sardines which are very nutritional. Certain green vegetables, seeds and nuts. Hard cheeses like Mozzarella and Swiss. Yellow sliced cheese is not real cheese it isn't yellow. One day my adult daughter said, Mom you've basically been doing Keto your entire life and didn't know it.🤣I have never been on any Pharmaceuticals. I rarely go to a doctor because eating twice a day and what I eat I don't get sick. I haven't had a cold in 30 plus years! I also haven't eaten at least one day a week my entire life so I was fasting yet never thought about fasting. My hair is longer and thicker than many women half my age. So just do it!!😊For me it's just always been lifestyle. I also never ate a lot of fruit which can raise blood sugar. "Sugar" is our enemy and "Fat" is our friend! I guess I never lived to eat but ate to live-Oh, and I've never had a headache in my life.

    and here i thought I had screwed up my metabolism. At age 62 and sedentary life, and light work- This happened to me. I kept adding fat, reducing fat, adding protien and reducing protien trying to find what was the combination that works for me. I have never had such a problem with morning glucose being above 97. Since March 2023 my morning glucose was 107-122 and ketones down to mostly .2 and .1. Two times last week it even registered lo. So I am switching my 2 meals a day from noon and 6pm, to 1030 am and 530pm on some days and 7am and 1pm on others. I think not having the timing exactly the same everyday is good to keep metabolism adjusting. Also no matter how much fiber, the keto breads still have too many carbs. I always say " You cannot out fiber your carb count!" Thanks for keeping up and keeping us informed.

I actually started to gain weight and was feeling dips in my energy throughout the day. I FINALLY figured out that the sweeteners were indeed keeping my insulin levels elevated which was driving the cravings. I decided I needed to cut out all sweeteners, the thought of doing that terrified me! That is how I knew I have a full blown addiction.😢 I am on week 3 of zero sweets, the cravings are still there, but not as intense, it was HARD the first week! I’m talking king crying melt downs.

    This makes good sense. I have recently shifted my Keto and carnivore meals so that I ingest no food during the last three hours before bedtime and now have only two average size meals per day instead of three.
    I am still limiting my carbs to no more than 20 grams per day but am not giving up Keto chocolate candies because I have already given up so much else (bread, potatoes, stuffing, gravy, catsup, cake, crispy coated deep-fried anything, pie, alcoholic beverages ...). Also not buying expensive supplies to do finger sticks to measure blood sugar.
    If I have to cut calories even more, so be it, but I am not giving up the pitifully small amount of low carb chocolate I allow myself. Nope. Not continuing a semi-starvation diet without some form of chocolate. The morale hit would be too big.

    All good points. I was doing ketogenic diet for 1 1/2 years. The first six month I was doing the keto desserts, fat bombs, etc. following so many people online doing keto. The measuring of blood and ketones drove me crazy. After the first six months I gave up all the fake keto food. Didn't do the replacement dishes. It was simpler but still annoying. After that time I started eating a carnivore diet, without measuring a thing. Oh, I also did extended fasting during the keto diet time. I thought I was doing great until I realized I wasn't. So it's been six years on carnivore for me and thank god I found it. I eat mostly twice a day but if I miss a meal it's no big deal. I don't do extended fasting anymore. I feel better mentally and physically. I threw away my keto measuring devices.

      Same here. I spent the first year downloading and testing all of the fat bomb recipes. All it did for me was to perpetuate my sugar addiction, even tho I was using sweeteners. Eventually I just gave them all up. That was the start of the change of my sense of taste, Now I'm carnivore, and I don't miss any of that stuff. I prefer bitter and savoury foods. I don't measure ANYTHING. I don't step on my scales; I don't test my blood for BG or ketones; and I don't measure my food. I just eat to satiety when I'm hungry, and don't eat when I'm not. Freedom!

    Interesting idea eating early meals to overlap with the "dawn effect" spike, then not eating late. Still, I find skipping breakfast and often lunch as the most effortless way to increase my burn. For me, the quickest way to get off a plateau is the "two sleeps zero-carb beverage fast", which I do once every 7-10 days. When keto-adapted it's not hard. I'll often up the exercise on the fast day, which helps me want sleep rather than snacks at the end of that day.

My advice is simple, change how you look at food. Look at it as fuel/medicine and not entertainment. It is hard at first but after awhile it sinks in. In your mind, when seeing all the fast food ads , replace them with obese people trying to walk. After 2 years of this I actually get repulsed seeing people slop down food as if they are entitled to make themselves sick.

    My advice is that you have to figure out what works for you, and if having keto desserts helps keep you on track and gives you that mental relief and brief moment of enjoyment that keeps you going, then by all means have a keto dessert. I’ll just say though that you can’t have it all. You may have to have one meal instead of two if you’re going to have the treat, or you may have to extend your fast for even longer, but if that small bit of enjoyment really helps get you through, I say go for it. You may just have baked fish and a leafy vegetable on the side for example as your one meal on the day when you have a treat. I find that I can do keto desserts with no problem but nut butters absolutely do me in.

We found one that was both very tasty AND didn't seem to have a negative effect at all, at least on the scale, other than the expense of it. It was "homemade" though, not pre-packaged mass produced product. But you make a good point of maybe combining that with OMAD instead of having it on days when we're eating twice (or more). After all, there's still a mental aspect to it, and thinking there's no "sacrifice" needed is what put us in 40+ years of being overweight, and less than a year to correct that by just eating smarter. Don't want to lose the mental edge...

Usually the person saying to stay away from something has an issue with overindulging or it affects them negatively so they apply it to everyone and that simply isn't the case. I'm personally not a fan of most keto desserts because my body does not like "fake sugar". My favorite whole food keto treat is crushed walnuts, 100% total dark- dark chocolate, frozen blueberries, and plain greek yogurt. It is perfectly sweet, fits the macros and is filling.
