Thanks for that Kay, that's really nice. I wouldn't have thought to do this list,..and I can pass this on to my daughter. And of course look at the list often.🙋🏼
@@TL-xl8df Perhaps you can save it, share or send it to yourself, or bookmark it, then copy/paste from there? Or just do a screen shot, or take a photo? Good luck!
Cooler temperature in the room No light in the room No blue light.. Get to bed before 11:00 pm. Meditate and relax..take B1 (/thiamine ) and D3, zinc..before bed.. No snacking late at night..
Same! 😆 Maybe I’m fooling myself, but I keep my blue light filter on my laptop & phone on 100% of the time & when evening hits, I turn down the brightness of all electronics, ie the tv. I like to think I’m at least kind of canceling the negative effects.
I started 2021 in terrible shape. 6ft tall weighing 340 pounds. My blood pressure was dangerously high, near stroke levels. Your videos on fasting and keto and so many other have helped me so much. I’m ending the year at 285, I lost 55 pounds!!! I look forward to losing another 50 in 2022. Thank you so much for all of your helpful content Dr. Berg!
Wow, well done you. Really amazing. I'm not sure I would be called overweight, but all my life since I was 15-16 years I have always weighed between 50 and 52 kg (167cm tall). But suddenly I gained weight up 60 kg and I felt really awful. After I started intermitted fasting and Keto I have gone down - slowly - to 56 kg, and feel so much better already. Still want to go to 52 kg again as I'll be more quick in anything I do. And I listen to all the videos from Dr. Berg and love his good advises and massive knowledge.
I used to fast 4 times a year,2 weeks at a time. But trying now is just not a thing for me. The hunger pains are horrid, and l feel sick. Any suggestions how to ease them..water does not help...tried tea too. Im at a standstill.
I started counting steps and taking long walks daily (10-20 thousands steps/day) in May and by month six I had lost 25 pounds simply by walking, not changing my diet at all. I feel mentally stronger and happier today than I've felt in years and I sleep better too because I'm moving a lot more throughout the day. My posture is way better and I feel less stressed and happier. I'm now going to combine this new lifestyle of walking with fasting and hope to lose another 25 pounds in the weeks to come. Wishing everyone the best! If you struggle with stress and weightgain, take long walks, it will make a huge difference! Just stick to it and it will work wonders!
Biggest thing for me is no meal 5 hours before bed. I don't know if I literally burn more fat, but I have much better sleep and my tummy is much leaner in the morning 🤓😃
Omg yesss!!! I noticed the difference when I eat before I go to bed & when I eat 5/6 hours before bed. I sleep much better, I don't wake up with heart burn..I don't have crazy dreams. When I eat a lot of sugar be4 bed I have the weirdest dreams ever
From a 38 inch waist to 29 inch waist since starting low carb Aug 13th 2021 and it’s now December 2021. Vascularity is amazing, never hungry bacon eggs sausage every morning except when intermittent fasting. 70 is my fasted glucose level. I am 54 male. The only one who doesn’t get you to your goals is yourself.
I am his wife and I have lost 24 lbs since August 7 2021 and feel great! It’s been a great couples journey. Thanks Dr Berg for all your information. Things didn’t start really moving for me until I did your healthy version of keto.
@@Drberg I found you through my wife who is now down 24 pounds. We work as a team, your methods work great for her. We also had our calcium scores done, mine was 121 my wife’s was 64. We are taking control of our health! Again many thanks!
Fasting (OMAD especially) really works. I don't deprive myself of anything when eating as long as I only eat once a day. I was 209 lbs when I started. Now, I'm down to 140 lbs.
Due to excessive amount of stress I gained 25 pounds . I’ve been on a diet Omad for two months and only have lost 5 pounds . I had my thyroid check , hormones and all came back normal . I walk 6 miles everyday and yet to loose the weight . No clue what’s going on and why I can loose weight . I too do intermittent fasting.
I’m 15 years old and I’ve been trying to lose weight since 10. I’ve just now been able to do it with Keto and fasting. My mom showed me your videos and they’ve helped my tremendously. I was 5’10 315 with a bmi of 45. In 3 months I’ve lost 30lbs! I’ve been doing 38 hours fast then eating 2500 Calories a day. I just do that back to back. I occasionally do a 4 day fast and lose 9-10 pounds on those each time! Thank you so much!
That's fantastic! Congratulations! Dr. Berg would love to hear about your success with Keto! Please use this link to upload your story: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story Dr. Berg's Support Team.
@@geomangaka5565 yes he needs to stop fasting. At that growing age you do need all the nutrients you can get , so what he needs to do is eat plenty but eat HEALTHY. He was clearly just eating junk if he got that big. However, he's also too young to ge doing intensive weight training.. Can't probably wait another year or two before getting serious about it. He should certainly to cardio and conditioning with light weight training until he turns 16 or 17.
Im down from 250 to 185 lbs since the end of August. 40 inch waist to a 32! For anybody out there who is thinking about doing keto and IF, this stuff really works.

@@tee.408 I ate pretty clean keto, 1 meal a day, didn't count calories during that meal just ate till I was full. I also threw in some 2 to 3 day fasts every few days. No extra exercise at all.
@@dixierekt2407 First, Congrats!!!! That is a true exercise in discipline. I am happy for you. May I ask what you drank on your fast? Was it just water and tea?
@@Marychange water, sparkling water, tea, and coffee mostly. Some stevia for sweetening once in a while. I ain't gonna lie, a diet coke once a week or so as well.
Dr.Bergs videos have saved my life. He delivers the message better than anyone. I was 400 in August 2018, type 2 diabetes, 450 blood sugar, 13.5 A1C. In August of 2021 I weighed still 370. In my 50’s with Bad knees. I watched doctor Bergs recommendation and now in 10 months I’m 245, my doctors are amazed. I’m not diabetic anymore or take diabetes medicine at all now per my Endocrinologist:) listen to him, ( also consult your own doctor) you can do it. I feel so great now.!!!
Thats lovely to hear, and well done, can you shed light on how you managed your eating especially being diabetic, I would love for my mum to start this as she’s diabetic too, so any tips on your eating and how you managed it with bad knees would be a great help, Thank you .
@@الكتابوالسنة-ح4ش I'm guessing its basically keto plus intermittent fasting. 1_. Cut all carbs, sugar and processed food. Limit carbs to a maximum of 50 grams per day, the lower, the better. Home-cooked meals are better so you know what goes in the food. Eggs are the best source of protein and some essential amino acids.2) Eat within a limited time window. I eat my 2 meals within 4-6 hours. The rest is fasting period of 18-20 hours a day. I only drink water and coffee.3) A light exercise like 30-minute walk a day helps. Better if you do it early morning or afternoon with sunlight for vitamin D. 4) Make sure you get enough nutrients like potassium, zinc etc. Your mother can have a tailor-made program using Berg's principles that is adjusted to her goals, health status, lifestyle and preferences. Do things gradually. It is better if guided by an open-minded health professional because she is diabetic. .

I've tried following these steps to a moderate degree (not super strict), going from bad habits (no carb/sugar control, no bubble tea restriction, no mental stress management, bad sleep habits) to decent habits and a bit more exercise... went from 80.5kg to 77.7kg in a month! Gonna keep at it. Thanks Dr Berg!
I have T2D.... Trust me workout and/or walk AFTER you eat. (Start about 45 to 90 minutes after you swallow your last bite.) This will reduce your glucose spikes postprandial.
On the note of stress- I’ve found that tidying up helps me tremendously. I take a few minutes in the evening/before bed to make my bedroom & bathroom (the areas I see most while waking up & going to sleep) nice and neat. The organization of it all helps my mind to better relax before bed :)
Absolutely yes. An untidy or flat out messy space is very chaotic and stressful. An organized space is a restful space. Now I just have to work on going to sleep at a decent hour. The whole having a very active 6 year old in homeschool thing is rough on time management. Trying to finish my doctorate means late late nights. 🥱
That makes sense, I’m a dancer. recently I switched from dayshift to night shift. My body looks out of shape now, most won’t notice but I know my body. Lost definition in my arms and abdomen. Thank you Dr Berg!
Before I decided to try IF, my uncle and aunt were doing it. But, I decided to do my own thing. When I decided enough was enough, it was around March 2021. I had reached the highest I've ever been, 321. I decided, go on a pescatarian diet and cut out breads. I ended up at 294. Once I reached my plateau at 294, I asked my uncle about IF and he directed me to these videos. So, from January 24th, 2022, started at 294. I am now 261 (May 22, 2022). This way of life really does work! If you stayed on this long, I'm sorry it is so long. But, I feel great! Good luck to anyone on their journey!
I have lost 15 lbs in 3 weeks from fasting,walking and cutting out sugar and most carbs. I could have lost more but every few nights i have a glass of wine or 2 at max. Thanks doc!!
As well as the timings. Best time to go bed is before 11pm as research shows the hours between 11pm-3am are the CORE hours of deep sleeping. Try that for a week and you'll definitely feel more energetic and relaxed. Also, no use of phones or screens say hour before going to bed to unwind yourself from thoughts/stress etc
Another master class. I have lost 30kg in approx. 12 months by following Dr Berg. Thanks for changing the positive way i think. I really enjoy the science and feel much better during these tuff times. While many others around me have put on kilos i have lost and feel great physically and mentally. Thank you.
Spanish people eat late and sleep late, and live happily. They have one of the highest life expectancies in the world. No need to do all these silly things in life.
You need to inspire others around you, so they can benefit from your story. Remember, sharing is caring and now you can be a role model for such folks, loosing weight and managing stress is not simple and it takes effort and help from everyone.
Wow I am an insomniac and this is so helpful. I always push myself to stay up after I get tired so I can spend time with my husband. I'm always struggling to fall asleep and thinking why am I wide awake?! I had no idea there were 90 minute waves
I know what you mean that's truly interesting. My daughter is tired when she comes home from work at 10:00 at night but then she ends up staying up till 4:00 in the morning and that's because she pushes through that first wave and then can't get to sleep. I really feel sorry for her actually because she works so hard all day long, she is at her job for like 11 hours a day 5 days a week.
Questions : This works great for folks who work normal hours, but can you make suggestions for those of us (I am a nurse) who work nights? We fight with bad sleep, poor nutrition, lack of energy. We do crazy things trying to remain healthy. I have already learned things from you that may help. A series focused on shift work could be SO USEFUL to health care workers, first responders, factory workers, etc. Thank you.
IF and low carb since August 1st . Weighed myself tonight am down 59 pounds still need to lose some more but I feel good about it :) . Thank you so much Dr 😊
I been on this intermittent fasting and it works well. I started watching my weight around July was around 170 and 5 5. I currently way 139. So took me 6 months. Also I haven't really exercised. And I feel great. My goal was 145 pounds. Now I want to get to 130. A keep my diet simple. I eat lipton chicken noodles and a slice of sourdough bread. And I have one cheat day in the week. Its working well so far
I was doing keto for over 4 years and not losing much weight. Then I combined dry fasting three hours before sleep and three hours after waking, trying for a window of 14-16 hours. I've lost almost 1 lb a day since adopting this strategy. Cutting out the liquids was the key, because I wasn't really eating in that window previously. Thanks!
I so love IF and thank God every day for leading me to it and people like Dr. Berg! I've lost 106 lbs so far and have 70 to go and I'm sure I will be knocking them off in 2022!!! I am currently doing rolling 72 hr fasts and when I reach my goal weight, I'll probably go to alternate day because I just can't imagine eating every day ever again. I'm very sedentary and have come to realize that I just don't need as many calories as an active person (duh!)...yes, it took me my whole life to get that one!!! Too busy listening to the 'experts' and not using my God-given brain!!! Anyway, I've got it now and life is so good!!! I'm 66 and feel just fantastic!!!
Great video, this has helped me alot, all most lost 10kg in 6 weeks, 102kg down to 92kg, personal goal of 90kg, and the ulltamate is 85kg, feeling better and more motivated than ever, thnaks again
Hi Dr Berg. I choose a plant-based diet in 2020, having previously been fully vegetarian since 1986 having gradually removed red meat, white meat, poultry and then fish throughout 1985 with another aim, which was to avoid additives. I did research to make sure I was eating correctly to pick up all of the nutrients I need in my diet. I found out recently that my body works best without dairy and eggs too and I have been on a plant-based diet since 2020. I am not 'vegan' and I don't use pre-packed foods. I eat fresh foods and make meals from scratch. Since changing to a plant-based diet ! I have more energy and don't ever feel out of breath after any type of cardio or other exercise. I am 62 years old and compete in ballroom and latin with my husband and other exercises in between. However, the one issue for me is waking at in the night for menopausal symptoms (I'll try not to drink after 6:30 pm in the future!). I can usually go back to sleep using yoga breathing techniques but sometimes I am awake for a couple of hours. Since I was a child, I have, on average, 6 to 6.5 hours per night and I am not tired on that amount. I am interested in your videos and have followed you for a few years, but it would be helpful if you could reference which of the plant-based options can be used alongside those for the meat/fish eaters in your videos when speaking about the vitamins and minerals. I can look it up, but if there are plant-based or vegan viewers it may be useful for them too. I will share it with my husband because he is on a keto diet and says he has to eat three meals per day and is always planning the next meal! I prefer to eat when my body tells me I need food. Thanks for all of the information that you share. It is always thought-provoking.
I been exercising since New Years Day I was 241.8 now I'm down to 221.4 my goal is to get down under 200 before my 37th birthday at the end of May. I cut soda out and sticking to high protein diet and just drinking water, and been doing fasting a couple times a week.
I have started the healthy keto and IF. It was amazing how quickly I adjusted to not eating breakfast, especially since breakfast has always been my favorite meal of the day! Looking forward to adding more fasting after the holidays. I was horrified to find out how insulin spikes every single time you eat. I am really grateful to have learned this and I’m not sure why I never picked up on it before. I have been sabotaging myself and was so out of control before finding you. I was desperate to get a grip on my poor eating habits that went sideways during the beginning of the pandemic. Thank you so much for all you do. I love how clear and easily understandable your videos are. You are a great teacher!
I agree with most part. But any diet or fasting has to be sustainable.. u cant avoid carbohydrates all your life... and i m sure shutting down on carbohydrates like breads n grains has its adverse effects on body as well like Thyroid problems. Moreover, too much fasting also leads to hair fall and skin issues... i m sure Dr Berg should address those concerns... i have done and lost weight through intermittent fasting in past.. but i guess it's not sustainable... i cant simply shut down on all pleasures of life including Good food for all life... there's gotta be a balance. I don't recommend Keto diet for its effects on Kidneys... no fasting/keto regime should be continued for more than 40 days in one go.. and break should be taken after 40 days... there were few deaths of aspiring models recently for stretching Keto a bit too much... as a result of which their kidneys failed. So please don't blindly follow all these fad diets and lifestyles .. and should never be continued for more than 40 days in a stretch. Stay fit.
@@shashnksharma2840 yep. I have a history of kidney issues from my lupus so keto would not be good for my kidneys. On top of that I have medications I have to take in the morning with food. They can’t be taken on an empty stomach. So skipping breakfast isn’t an option for me either
(What I write below cannot go beyond a simple assumption.) Eating fat can cause weight loss. But the fats you eat should be "raw". The fats in our body are "raw" fats. Raw oils can only cope with raw oils. (Consult your doctor about consuming butter raw.) Because I think that the relationship between nature and people is realized from this point of view. I will give a few examples: Shepherd's purse plant branches are shaped like hollow tubes, and shepherd's purse plant has heart-shaped leaves. Shepherd's purse is a useful plant in vascular diseases, especially in cardiovascular diseases. Tamarind is similar to a fecal-filled section of intestine. Tamarind is recommended for constipation. Walnut consists of two fatty food tissues adhered to each other with a thin texture. Every part of the walnut is similar to the brain, thyroid gland, lungs, gut anatomy. Walnuts were known to be beneficial for the brain, but were only recently found to be beneficial for the gut. You buy a giant cabbage... As you eat the giant cabbage, the cabbage begins to shrink. As he continues to eat the cabbage, the giant cabbage shrinks to the size of an apple. As you eat cabbage, you lose weight and get smaller in size. If I had to lift giant cabbage every day, I could lose weight and build muscle. The flame of fire tends to expand. Body fat tends to expand. Cold water puts out the fire. Cold water can destroy body fat. Taking a cold shower every day can destroy your body fat. Diseases tend to expand. Cold water shower can make you healthy. Caution: cold water can harm your heart. The color of fire is yellow. Body fat is yellow in color. Often the yellow color is identical to the disease. Yellow discharges on the body, jaundice, yellowed face ...
Raw fat? But everything, including the fats, are broken down in the stomach. But I fully agree with your point about foods resembling the body parts they are good for etc.
I also found to be very effective is taking some extra magnesium & some warm golden milk, basically I like a little almond milk with a little turmeric & honey in it:)
Thanks, Doc! IF is paramount! I lost 30 pounds last year doing IF with weekends being my "stray days." I eat anything I want, but have eliminated white sugar and most candy. (My sweets are donuts and cookies.) I get good sleep most every night. I can only imagine what will happen when I actually start to exercise on a regular basis. I've never looked or felt better. (Even those middle-aged love handles have shrunk down to nothing!) THANKS for all your knowledge and how you deliver it! You are the best!
GOING LOW CARB AND IF SINCE NOV 17, 147 POUNDS, TODAY DEC 26 137 POUNDS AND FEELING HAPPY, NIGHT SWEATS ARE GONE, SKIN ALLERGIES GONE, BELLY FAT MELTING, ETC....THANK YOU!!!!!
I'm a sleep study / oxygen specialist and contrary to popular trends the cooler temperature point has been misinformation for too long. It's just the opposite. All of my patients sleep better if they are warm enough. It's the warmth that relaxes your muscles. Cooler temps do the complete opposite. During sleep your body temperature goes down because of non activity and if your body gets too cold it sends signals to the brain that the body temperature has dropped too low and as a survival mechanism it wakes you up to get warm in order to prevent hypothermia
@@alexandraadams2070 yes it does depend on the person however even for those that prefer the cooler temps their body will also wake them up if they get too cold as a survival mechanism to get warm
You help so many people ! I wish you a long life . If the population would just take your advice they would be so much healthier .Everything you say makes so much sense and works when put into practice .i sleep and feel better than i have in years now. only took like 3 months to turn health around.
I'm a pretty slim guy but had a recurring 'skinny fat' issue around my mid section, also some permanent 'bloating' in my stomach that made things look s little worse. Started the keto diet and working out 8 days ago and almost all of the issue is resolved. 2 more weeks and I should have a completely flat stomach. Would highly recommend
When I drink a glass of milk an hour after my workout, I feel that my body recoups much better/faster and I get no soreness in my body. Also, when the weather is hot, I take a quick shower before bed and it does wonders for my sleep. 👌🏼
I found the best method for me was before the pandemic, eating one meal a day exercising 4-6 hours 5 or 6 days a week and tiring myself out enough to sleep 7-8 hours rinse and repeat that while in that one meal eating healthy just made me look young and get enough sleep and i was lean with 5-9% body fat depending on the food I ate
Starting another 3 day fast today. I hike 5 miles a day, even while I'm fasting. Experimenting with starting my fast at 2pm instead of dinner the night before.
Congrats!! Until recently, I could imagine going a whole day without good but I had a bout of Covid couple weeks ago and was unable to eat for days. That got me researching on the benefits of fasting and I amaze myself how I can now go a day or 2 with little to no food.
@@MS-yu5cl Thank you! Fasting will continue to amaze and delight you. Glad you recovered from Covid I first fasted in 1979, when I was 19. I don't know how many times I've fasted. Back in the day my husband and I did 30 day juice fasts. I worked all day as a waitress in a health food restaurant and he did construction!
I live in Quebec and seeing a doctor here isnt easy, especially a family doctor, wait lists are like 6 to 10 years. And when you get to see one they will not take this time to explain everything. I just wanna say thanks Dr Berg for changing my life.
I hope i can get back on track. The last 2 years have not been good and i feel like I’ve lost motivation. Thanks for the great videos, I’m hoping to make 2022 much better!!!
Me too, I had lost 33 lbs a year ago, skinny as high school. Now I gained back about 40'. I lost 11 pounds a month 3 months with hypothyroidism so I know how. I'll be doing searches. Berg motivates so I'll start watching him again. Good luck to you and I.
I began with walking fast every day, but couldn't lose weight. Keto and fasting took care of the weight loss and fixing my fatty liver. The 103 pound weight loss enabled me to continue the fast walks and return to the gym. Now I'm pushing heavier than I was in my 20s, I'm now 53 - I know, I don't look it!
That's fantastic! Dr. Berg would love to hear about your success with Keto! Please use this link to upload your story: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story Dr. Berg's Support Team.
@@namuggahidaaya4959 I can give you an example of one day, as I rotate it. I have just two meals per day. Meal one, two egg omelette with melted cheese and bacon. Meal two, homemade burger patties from ground beef, with vegetables and my own keto flatbread.
I have been doing 1 or 2 meals a day the last week or so. Man first few days I was so HUNGRY. Today I ate at 1pm for the first time, Now 11pm and not hungry. Pretty incredible. I def need to work on getting to bed earlier though. TY Dr. Berg!
Ive lost 3kgs in a week, all I’ve done is got rid of bread and grains, doing 16-8 with a couple of 18-6 IF with a whole food keto type diet. Very little exercise, it’s actually amazing. Bed time thing for me is an issue, i do shift work, predominately afternoon and night shifts with two day shifts. My normal bed time is either after midnight or 7am in the morning… just do the best you can, if you eat right you’ll still lose weight, I’ve found my energy levels have increased, my concentration and even my skin has cleared up.
I took your advice and went and bought nutritional yeast yesterday. And Ashwaganda. I have mad ptsd, anxiety and insomnia but I was able to fall asleep for a bit this morning.. I had to take lots of N yeast and Ashwaganda.. and I’m not sure that’s why I fell asleep but I did ☺️ and I feel so damn chilled out today.. like I haven’t felt in a long time! So I ordered 1 kg of non-fortified nutritional yeast on I herb today plus 500 gr Ashwaganda root powder lol. It’s working!!!
I was a bit surprised about the advice to take vitamin D in the evening. I have previously read that you DON'T want it before going to bed because it may lower/suppress your melatonin levels, plus it's better absorbed when taken with a meal and of course you don't want to eat just before going to bed.
This video is 100% on point. Sleeping well is the final key to loosing weight. With all the exercises and dieting you do, incorporate good sleep of up to 7-10hrs and you will see massive weight loss
No, it just about how many calories you intake and how much you burn, even during sleeping (while sleeping you don´t intake calories! you just burn a little bit).
12:05 "Lets say you worked out, you ate healthy and then you had this little carbo snack, guess what, all those great, potential benefits are nullified." Do you have studies to prove this? That's a very bold statement.
Hey Doc, I’ve recently found your channel and think it’s just fabulous. Thank you for all this fantastic straightforward information,…..but what about us truck drivers!? It’s not just trying to figure what food to take with us or what to buy while on the road, it’s much more. We don’t have time for much exercise, trying to minimize stress it’s not easy, receiving “proper” sleep is out the door (team driving is 10 to a max 11hrs driving with about as much in the sleeper, then back to driving until we’re home), trying to eat at “regular “ times is impossible, sleeping while your moving, etc, etc. I really hope you address this for us drivers. Please look into how we operate to understand. For me my company has no rhythm. Each week is different. We never get a full weekend nor two days together off. Once we start we don’t stop until we’re home except for fuel, switching drivers, making the delivery. We can leave at midnight to be back by 10a only to turn back out later that afternoon to return in a couple days to leave again 12 hrs later, etc, etc. Yes, that’s truly how crazy it is for me. And each week is different. It’s highly erratic. I’m based in NC. I can be in MN one day, come back and head to Boston, come back and go to TX, etc. If you could please message me so I don’t miss your response. Thank you very much!
Just hang in there sis. I went through the same thing and still do when I wait to fast for a long period. Your body will adapt. Try short naps if possible and avoid TV bc the food commercials will make you give in.
I’m on day 4, I’ve noticed I’m waking at 4am ish feeling very thirsty. Today I’m also craving bread/potatoes, so I’m keeping very busy, this craving is going.
this is so true! I did 1nhr on the elliptical. ran for 30 min...did weights...did a core workout and then sat in the sauna for an hour while I had drank a gallon of electrolyte water that had 2 tea potassium 2 tea baking soda 1 tea magneisum 1 tea Himalaya salt and 1/8tea boron and 2 lemons.... i was totally fasted. ive never felt better
So over the past few weeks I've transitioned to low carb and IF. The last 2 days I believe I have achieved an true keto diet. Last night I got about 5 hours of sleep and naturally woke up about 3.5 hours earlier this morning than usual feeling wide awake and well rested. Could this be caused by actually entering ketosis? Or something else I need to focus on?
My brother says this happens with ketosis and has to do with the way the brain 'flushes' itself out, and uses glycogen to do this....it literally wakes u up to look for sugar. I have had four nights of keto insomnia now. He said go a little slower, accept you may need a small amount of carb at bedtime for a while (see Dr Gundrys list of acceptable foods, stage 3, the plant paradox for ideas) have your last meal 4 hours before bed, walk after the meal, and have a lukewarm shower at bedtime. Apparently really helps. He spends his whole life looking at this stuff (chronic illness, lots of time in an ashram etc)...good luck. Transition is not easy.
Thank you doc for doing for us the donkey work with all the readings and researches. Now it’s upon us to apply what we have learnt from you. Pls keep up the hard work
Thank you! I am in the process of moving 2000 miles away and am experiencing quite a lot of stress. I can't wait to get settled in and get my sleep back!
How much DHEA should I be taking ? I am 67 I feel great. I have been on keto for the past 6 months. Lost alot of weight.. Working out & intermittent fasting. & No sugar is the way to go!! God bless you Amen 🙏
Dr. Berg, If I'm going to sleep around 10:30, but not supposed to drink beverages after 6:30, how am I supposed to take mag, D3/K2 and B1 supplements right before bed?
Dear Dr Berg, your videos have totally transformed our ideas of diet and health and we are able to transmit this in our workshops with professional & amateur dancers. Thankyou!
Rather than take a multitude of supplements - is there a multi supplement that you can reccomend that has theses combined already? Love your videos - think you're lovely.
Ohky so.. I actully do extensive workout 6 days a week and i have been doing gym and exercise for years now but everytime i stop Doing exercise even for 2 to 3 months, i start to gain weight very rapidly.. Recently after some break i have started doing exercise again and even with so much effort and having 2 meals a day i am again stuck at a paticualt weight. I am trying to follow ur videos as much as possible and they have given me courage. YouR videos are amazing.. its like magic words coming out of your mouth I hoping to lose weight better now when i am following ur videos very seriously. Thanks DOC. You are great
Doc can you make a video on headaches while fasting? I feel weak and dizzy when fasting. I used to do intermittent fasting regularly before, but during Covid i gained weight and unable to fast now without severe headaches. I also have a history of high blood pressure.
Try low carb, no sugar i.e. BANTING plus One Meal A Day. I had migraines from 8yrs old. None now. IF since Aug, Banting since Feb 2021. 11kgs down. Slowly ... but surely, what's off is OFF
Add half a tea spoon of pink salt or Himalaya salt in about 2 liters of water and drink that all through....then u can go through your fasting for days without any headaches.....I normally squeeze in some lemon as well. Works perfectly fine
Started Dr Berg fasting advise just a week ago. I sleep better at night and more than 6 hours. Wake up rested and energetic. This video will help me even more ❤. Thanks 😊
Hi Dr.Berg, Love you videos. Very helpful. I have learned a lot. I was wondering if you can do a video on shift workers, eating, weight loss , and sleep. I work shift work, afternoon and sometimes the night shift. Thank you Wendy Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
Great ino but somewhat confusing. Don't work out before or after you eat...How long before or after should one wait?? Work out during you IF which for most people is overnight. However, I work nights & I'm really trying to stick to this Keto and IF. 2 weeks and I've lost 7 pounds... Happy with these results so far, but I'm still confused after watching this video about when to work out and eating.
Im currently on the Intermittent Fasting started yesterday (16Jan23) will update Sunday (22Jan23) when i weigh myself again if i remeber. No working out yet for me I am currently 308 pounds I was socked when I saw it was usally 260 pound which is heavy but that was my weight for like 7+ years. Now I decided to work on myself finnaly.
In that sense morning workout suits the best, try as much as u can without having any preworkout. Then have something mybe an hour later. In evening we re usually exhausted nd crave for food specially snacks so maintaining the gap is hard
Okay Remembered I lost 6 pounds from monday to today 🙂 so the 23 hour Fasting works. But Its the first week my body is still getting use to the Fasting think Ill lose more this com8ng week
Im watching series in utube i suddenly press this...and doc said no cellphone before sleep.. So i need to continue watching this tomorrow.. Goodnight doc..
Honestly in 2 weeks of finding you I have learnt SOOOOOOO much about nutrient and health, the quantity of information you share and the way you deliver is a powerful combination, I really appreciate your work, the efforts you make to educate us and you're impact on the health of so many people around the world is something I hope you are suitably proud of............amazing work
Many people in this world are THANKFUL and LOVES you so much Dr. Berg, please know that. You’re an enormous kind of blessing in this world by sharing your knowledge. We respect you so much! May God bless you more Dr. Berg!
Thanks again Dr. Berg!

Same! 😆 Maybe I’m fooling myself, but I keep my blue light filter on my laptop & phone on 100% of the time & when evening hits, I turn down the brightness of all electronics, ie the tv. I like to think I’m at least kind of canceling the negative effects.

I started 2021 in terrible shape. 6ft tall weighing 340 pounds. My blood pressure was dangerously high, near stroke levels. Your videos on fasting and keto and so many other have helped me so much. I’m ending the year at 285, I lost 55 pounds!!! I look forward to losing another 50 in 2022.
Thank you so much for all of your helpful content Dr. Berg!
Keep it up!!! When I want to eat from habit, I go and watch a Dr. Berg video:)
Keep rocking. Blessings you can do it.
How’s your blood pressure now?
Wow, well done you. Really amazing. I'm not sure I would be called overweight, but all my life since I was 15-16 years I have always weighed between 50 and 52 kg (167cm tall). But suddenly I gained weight up 60 kg and I felt really awful. After I started intermitted fasting and Keto I have gone down - slowly - to 56 kg, and feel so much better already. Still want to go to 52 kg again as I'll be more quick in anything I do. And I listen to all the videos from Dr. Berg and love his good advises and massive knowledge.
You did great!
Fasting is very effective. Avoiding a lot of sugar is key also.
I used to fast 4 times a year,2 weeks at a time. But trying now is just not a thing for me. The hunger pains are horrid, and l feel sick. Any suggestions how to ease them..water does not help...tried tea too. Im at a standstill.
If you are doing even a little sugar
Then you are not doing keto!
So no fruit on keto?
@@Jay_Rell oh yeah they still carbs though and like she stated even s little sugar you ain't on keto
Which is it?
We muslim fast every 1 month in year
I started counting steps and taking long walks daily (10-20 thousands steps/day) in May and by month six I had lost 25 pounds simply by walking, not changing my diet at all. I feel mentally stronger and happier today than I've felt in years and I sleep better too because I'm moving a lot more throughout the day. My posture is way better and I feel less stressed and happier. I'm now going to combine this new lifestyle of walking with fasting and hope to lose another 25 pounds in the weeks to come. Wishing everyone the best! If you struggle with stress and weightgain, take long walks, it will make a huge difference! Just stick to it and it will work wonders!
Biggest thing for me is no meal 5 hours before bed. I don't know if I literally burn more fat, but I have much better sleep and my tummy is much leaner in the morning 🤓😃
same here.. we all have this one way or another.. little gremlins inside eat and breaks them food down until morning..
@@fidelcatsro6948 hahahha totally agree. WhenI have to eat dinner out with my husband or go for a party I feel so bloated from eating late 😂
Omg yesss!!! I noticed the difference when I eat before I go to bed & when I eat 5/6 hours before bed. I sleep much better, I don't wake up with heart burn..I don't have crazy dreams. When I eat a lot of sugar be4 bed I have the weirdest dreams ever

Due to excessive amount of stress I gained 25 pounds . I’ve been on a diet Omad for two months and only have lost 5 pounds . I had my thyroid check , hormones and all came back normal . I walk 6 miles everyday and yet to loose the weight . No clue what’s going on and why I can loose weight . I too do intermittent fasting.
I’m 15 years old and I’ve been trying to lose weight since 10. I’ve just now been able to do it with Keto and fasting. My mom showed me your videos and they’ve helped my tremendously. I was 5’10 315 with a bmi of 45. In 3 months I’ve lost 30lbs! I’ve been doing 38 hours fast then eating 2500 Calories a day. I just do that back to back. I occasionally do a 4 day fast and lose 9-10 pounds on those each time! Thank you so much!

@@dixierekt2407 First, Congrats!!!! That is a true exercise in discipline. I am happy for you.
May I ask what you drank on your fast? Was it just water and tea?
@@Marychange water, sparkling water, tea, and coffee mostly. Some stevia for sweetening once in a while. I ain't gonna lie, a diet coke once a week or so as well.
Dr.Bergs videos have saved my life. He delivers the message better than anyone. I was 400 in August 2018, type 2 diabetes, 450 blood sugar, 13.5 A1C. In August of 2021 I weighed still 370. In my 50’s with Bad knees. I watched doctor Bergs recommendation and now in 10 months I’m 245, my doctors are amazed. I’m not diabetic anymore or take diabetes medicine at all now per my Endocrinologist:) listen to him, ( also consult your own doctor) you can do it. I feel so great now.!!!
Thats lovely to hear, and well done, can you shed light on how you managed your eating especially being diabetic, I would love for my mum to start this as she’s diabetic too, so any tips on your eating and how you managed it with bad knees would be a great help, Thank you .
@@الكتابوالسنة-ح4ش I'm guessing its basically keto plus intermittent fasting. 1_. Cut all carbs, sugar and processed food. Limit carbs to a maximum of 50 grams per day, the lower, the better. Home-cooked meals are better so you know what goes in the food. Eggs are the best source of protein and some essential amino acids.2) Eat within a limited time window. I eat my 2 meals within 4-6 hours. The rest is fasting period of 18-20 hours a day. I only drink water and coffee.3) A light exercise like 30-minute walk a day helps. Better if you do it early morning or afternoon with sunlight for vitamin D. 4) Make sure you get enough nutrients like potassium, zinc etc. Your mother can have a tailor-made program using Berg's principles that is adjusted to her goals, health status, lifestyle and preferences. Do things gradually. It is better if guided by an open-minded health professional because she is diabetic. .
Well done! We would love to hear an update on how you are doing!

Thanks Dr Berg You Helped Me in 3 Months i Lost 12kg(26lps) from 96kg to 84kg Doing IF and No Sugar without going to GYM or Doing Any Exercise.
I've tried following these steps to a moderate degree (not super strict), going from bad habits (no carb/sugar control, no bubble tea restriction, no mental stress management, bad sleep habits) to decent habits and a bit more exercise... went from 80.5kg to 77.7kg in a month! Gonna keep at it. Thanks Dr Berg!
You sure it's not water weight?
Omg no bubble tea 💔
I have T2D.... Trust me workout and/or walk AFTER you eat. (Start about 45 to 90 minutes after you swallow your last bite.) This will reduce your glucose spikes postprandial.
If more Drs were like Dr Berg, we would all be so much healthier.

On the note of stress- I’ve found that tidying up helps me tremendously. I take a few minutes in the evening/before bed to make my bedroom & bathroom (the areas I see most while waking up & going to sleep) nice and neat. The organization of it all helps my mind to better relax before bed :)
Will give this a try!!
Absolutely yes. An untidy or flat out messy space is very chaotic and stressful. An organized space is a restful space. Now I just have to work on going to sleep at a decent hour. The whole having a very active 6 year old in homeschool thing is rough on time management. Trying to finish my doctorate means late late nights. 🥱
That's seems to be a key for stress recovery. Keep up organizing and let the clutter go. The stress will go with it.
I agree with organization. Take out clothes for next day and clean out purse.
My fiancee and myself are the same, we like things neat or orderly!
I've learned from this video to take my B1, Magnesium, and D3 vitamins at night instead of with breakfast. Thank you Dr. Berg so much.
Vitamine D wouldn't wake you up ?
@@rabiesultan I was wondering the same thing ..
Also, shouldn't vitamins be taken with some sort of fat to better absorb them?

How is it going?
That makes sense, I’m a dancer. recently I switched from dayshift to night shift. My body looks out of shape now, most won’t notice but I know my body. Lost definition in my arms and abdomen. Thank you Dr Berg!
Before I decided to try IF, my uncle and aunt were doing it. But, I decided to do my own thing. When I decided enough was enough, it was around March 2021. I had reached the highest I've ever been, 321. I decided, go on a pescatarian diet and cut out breads. I ended up at 294. Once I reached my plateau at 294, I asked my uncle about IF and he directed me to these videos. So, from January 24th, 2022, started at 294. I am now 261 (May 22, 2022). This way of life really does work! If you stayed on this long, I'm sorry it is so long. But, I feel great! Good luck to anyone on their journey!
I have lost 15 lbs in 3 weeks from fasting,walking and cutting out sugar and most carbs. I could have lost more but every few nights i have a glass of wine or 2 at max. Thanks doc!!

Great job.
You got break thru.
Also be happy with small changes when you get to slower times of progress.
Both are terrific. Good good you!!!
That’s amazing! I’m doing it! You inspired me
I see someone that finally mention why I don’t sleep at night. The conversations in my brain…Thank you!
Try Theanine supplements,helps to quiet dwn the chatterbox. Ask your GP
As well as the timings. Best time to go bed is before 11pm as research shows the hours between 11pm-3am are the CORE hours of deep sleeping. Try that for a week and you'll definitely feel more energetic and relaxed.
Also, no use of phones or screens say hour before going to bed to unwind yourself from thoughts/stress etc
Started at 280-300lbs. Not positive. 😬. Now 236! Just slowly switching over to Dr.B’s advice’s. Started in 2020. Slow and steady.
Another master class. I have lost 30kg in approx. 12 months by following Dr Berg. Thanks for changing the positive way i think. I really enjoy the science and feel much better during these tuff times. While many others around me have put on kilos i have lost and feel great physically and mentally. Thank you.
30 Kilogram lost????????????

Spanish people eat late and sleep late, and live happily. They have one of the highest life expectancies in the world. No need to do all these silly things in life.
You need to inspire others around you, so they can benefit from your story. Remember, sharing is caring and now you can be a role model for such folks, loosing weight and managing stress is not simple and it takes effort and help from everyone.
Wow I am an insomniac and this is so helpful. I always push myself to stay up after I get tired so I can spend time with my husband. I'm always struggling to fall asleep and thinking why am I wide awake?! I had no idea there were 90 minute waves
I know what you mean that's truly interesting. My daughter is tired when she comes home from work at 10:00 at night but then she ends up staying up till 4:00 in the morning and that's because she pushes through that first wave and then can't get to sleep.
I really feel sorry for her actually because she works so hard all day long, she is at her job for like 11 hours a day 5 days a week.
An insomnia too sleeping is a problem let him give as a solution for the sake of burning fats🙏
Questions : This works great for folks who work normal hours, but can you make suggestions for those of us (I am a nurse) who work nights? We fight with bad sleep, poor nutrition, lack of energy. We do crazy things trying to remain healthy. I have already learned things from you that may help. A series focused on shift work could be SO USEFUL to health care workers, first responders, factory workers, etc. Thank you.
Try to get your core sleep in the afternoon/evenings. I always rested better then.
I agree, this really would be a great segment for him to do a video on. For people like you who work irregular hours.

Congratulations, that's impressive! 👍
@@roselieber thank you
I been on this intermittent fasting and it works well. I started watching my weight around July was around 170 and 5 5. I currently way 139. So took me 6 months. Also I haven't really exercised. And I feel great. My goal was 145 pounds. Now I want to get to 130. A keep my diet simple. I eat lipton chicken noodles and a slice of sourdough bread. And I have one cheat day in the week. Its working well so far
what method do you use ? Every 8 hrs? 16?
Not very nutritious - might want to incorporate nutrients and make it a habit. Good luck!
I was doing keto for over 4 years and not losing much weight. Then I combined dry fasting three hours before sleep and three hours after waking, trying for a window of 14-16 hours. I've lost almost 1 lb a day since adopting this strategy. Cutting out the liquids was the key, because I wasn't really eating in that window previously. Thanks!
Lost more then 10 kilos within the month... Got back to work outs
Following yours and Thomas Delauer videos. Thank you much gents👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
How???
I so love IF and thank God every day for leading me to it and people like Dr. Berg! I've lost 106 lbs so far and have 70 to go and I'm sure I will be knocking them off in 2022!!! I am currently doing rolling 72 hr fasts and when I reach my goal weight, I'll probably go to alternate day because I just can't imagine eating every day ever again. I'm very sedentary and have come to realize that I just don't need as many calories as an active person (duh!)...yes, it took me my whole life to get that one!!! Too busy listening to the 'experts' and not using my God-given brain!!! Anyway, I've got it now and life is so good!!! I'm 66 and feel just fantastic!!!
Wow, how can you resist hunger pains from long IF? I wish I could go longer than 14 to 16 hours.
These videos are changing the lives of me and my loved ones and helping us accomplish our goals, I can’t thank you enough Dr. Berg!
Great video,
this has helped me alot, all most lost 10kg in 6 weeks,
102kg down to 92kg, personal goal of 90kg, and the ulltamate is 85kg, feeling better and more motivated than ever, thnaks again

Hi Dr Berg. I choose a plant-based diet in 2020, having previously been fully vegetarian since 1986 having gradually removed red meat, white meat, poultry and then fish throughout 1985 with another aim, which was to avoid additives. I did research to make sure I was eating correctly to pick up all of the nutrients I need in my diet. I found out recently that my body works best without dairy and eggs too and I have been on a plant-based diet since 2020. I am not 'vegan' and I don't use pre-packed foods. I eat fresh foods and make meals from scratch.
Since changing to a plant-based diet ! I have more energy and don't ever feel out of breath after any type of cardio or other exercise. I am 62 years old and compete in ballroom and latin with my husband and other exercises in between. However, the one issue for me is waking at in the night for menopausal symptoms (I'll try not to drink after 6:30 pm in the future!). I can usually go back to sleep using yoga breathing techniques but sometimes I am awake for a couple of hours. Since I was a child, I have, on average, 6 to 6.5 hours per night and I am not tired on that amount.
I am interested in your videos and have followed you for a few years, but it would be helpful if you could reference which of the plant-based options can be used alongside those for the meat/fish eaters in your videos when speaking about the vitamins and minerals. I can look it up, but if there are plant-based or vegan viewers it may be useful for them too.
I will share it with my husband because he is on a keto diet and says he has to eat three meals per day and is always planning the next meal! I prefer to eat when my body tells me I need food.
Thanks for all of the information that you share. It is always thought-provoking.
I been exercising since New Years Day I was 241.8 now I'm down to 221.4 my goal is to get down under 200 before my 37th birthday at the end of May. I cut soda out and sticking to high protein diet and just drinking water, and been doing fasting a couple times a week.

I have started the healthy keto and IF. It was amazing how quickly I adjusted to not eating breakfast, especially since breakfast has always been my favorite meal of the day! Looking forward to adding more fasting after the holidays. I was horrified to find out how insulin spikes every single time you eat. I am really grateful to have learned this and I’m not sure why I never picked up on it before. I have been sabotaging myself and was so out of control before finding you. I was desperate to get a grip on my poor eating habits that went sideways during the beginning of the pandemic. Thank you so much for all you do. I love how clear and easily understandable your videos are. You are a great teacher!
I love breakfast foods too. Once a week I eat "breakfast" for dinner.
I agree with most part. But any diet or fasting has to be sustainable.. u cant avoid carbohydrates all your life... and i m sure shutting down on carbohydrates like breads n grains has its adverse effects on body as well like Thyroid problems. Moreover, too much fasting also leads to hair fall and skin issues... i m sure Dr Berg should address those concerns... i have done and lost weight through intermittent fasting in past.. but i guess it's not sustainable... i cant simply shut down on all pleasures of life including Good food for all life... there's gotta be a balance. I don't recommend Keto diet for its effects on Kidneys... no fasting/keto regime should be continued for more than 40 days in one go.. and break should be taken after 40 days... there were few deaths of aspiring models recently for stretching Keto a bit too much... as a result of which their kidneys failed. So please don't blindly follow all these fad diets and lifestyles .. and should never be continued for more than 40 days in a stretch. Stay fit.

@@shashnksharma2840 yep. I have a history of kidney issues from my lupus so keto would not be good for my kidneys. On top of that I have medications I have to take in the morning with food. They can’t be taken on an empty stomach. So skipping breakfast isn’t an option for me either
One of the best Doctors that masters his craft , much respect Dr. Berg 🤝
(What I write below cannot go beyond a simple assumption.)
Eating fat can cause weight loss.
But the fats you eat should be "raw".
The fats in our body are "raw" fats.
Raw oils can only cope with raw oils.
(Consult your doctor about consuming butter raw.)
Because I think that the relationship between nature and people is realized from this point of view.
I will give a few examples:
Shepherd's purse plant branches are shaped like hollow tubes, and shepherd's purse plant has heart-shaped leaves.
Shepherd's purse is a useful plant in vascular diseases, especially in cardiovascular diseases.
Tamarind is similar to a fecal-filled section of intestine.
Tamarind is recommended for constipation.
Walnut consists of two fatty food tissues adhered to each other with a thin texture.
Every part of the walnut is similar to the brain, thyroid gland, lungs, gut anatomy.
Walnuts were known to be beneficial for the brain, but were only recently found to be beneficial for the gut.
You buy a giant cabbage...
As you eat the giant cabbage, the cabbage begins to shrink.
As he continues to eat the cabbage, the giant cabbage shrinks to the size of an apple.
As you eat cabbage, you lose weight and get smaller in size.
If I had to lift giant cabbage every day, I could lose weight and build muscle.
The flame of fire tends to expand.
Body fat tends to expand.
Cold water puts out the fire.
Cold water can destroy body fat.
Taking a cold shower every day can destroy your body fat.
Diseases tend to expand.
Cold water shower can make you healthy.
Caution: cold water can harm your heart.
The color of fire is yellow.
Body fat is yellow in color.
Often the yellow color is identical to the disease.
Yellow discharges on the body, jaundice, yellowed face ...
Wao
Raw fat? But everything, including the fats, are broken down in the stomach.
But I fully agree with your point about foods resembling the body parts they are good for etc.
What a LONG load of crud
AVOID STRESS ……number one for me
I also found to be very effective
is taking some extra magnesium

I like a little almond milk with a little
turmeric & honey in it:)
Thanks, Doc! IF is paramount! I lost 30 pounds last year doing IF with weekends being my "stray days." I eat anything I want, but have eliminated white sugar and most candy. (My sweets are donuts and cookies.) I get good sleep most every night. I can only imagine what will happen when I actually start to exercise on a regular basis. I've never looked or felt better. (Even those middle-aged love handles have shrunk down to nothing!) THANKS for all your knowledge and how you deliver it! You are the best!
The thumbnail says that we should sleep with our eyes open to lose fat.thank u sm I will definitely try that
GOING LOW CARB AND IF SINCE NOV 17, 147 POUNDS, TODAY DEC 26 137 POUNDS AND FEELING HAPPY, NIGHT SWEATS ARE GONE, SKIN ALLERGIES GONE, BELLY FAT MELTING, ETC....THANK YOU!!!!!
I'm a sleep study / oxygen specialist and contrary to popular trends the cooler temperature point has been misinformation for too long. It's just the opposite. All of my patients sleep better if they are warm enough. It's the warmth that relaxes your muscles. Cooler temps do the complete opposite. During sleep your body temperature goes down because of non activity and if your body gets too cold it sends signals to the brain that the body temperature has dropped too low and as a survival mechanism it wakes you up to get warm in order to prevent hypothermia
I agree...I can't sleep if I'm too cool. Maybe it varies for individuals.
@@alexandraadams2070 yes it does depend on the person however even for those that prefer the cooler temps their body will also wake them up if they get too cold as a survival mechanism to get warm
You help so many people ! I wish you a long life . If the population would just take your advice they would be so much healthier .Everything you say makes so much sense and works when put into practice .i sleep and feel better than i have in years now. only took like 3 months to turn health around.
I'm a pretty slim guy but had a recurring 'skinny fat' issue around my mid section, also some permanent 'bloating' in my stomach that made things look s little worse.
Started the keto diet and working out 8 days ago and almost all of the issue is resolved. 2 more weeks and I should have a completely flat stomach.
Would highly recommend
Similar situation here. Always skinny fat with a small belly.
After three months of keto, the belly is gone;)

When I drink a glass of milk an hour after my workout, I feel that my body recoups much better/faster and I get no soreness in my body. Also, when the weather is hot, I take a quick shower before bed and it does wonders for my sleep. 👌🏼
Try to avoid dairy if you can because of inflammation. Take lots of water or turmeric tea, it's also anti-inflammatory.
Thank me later
cjc 1295 and ipamorelin 200mcg 30 mins before bed.
Best thing i ever did. Feeling and looking like a king after 3 months
I will listen to this over and over.
I found the best method for me was before the pandemic, eating one meal a day exercising 4-6 hours 5 or 6 days a week and tiring myself out enough to sleep 7-8 hours rinse and repeat that while in that one meal eating healthy just made me look young and get enough sleep and i was lean with 5-9% body fat depending on the food I ate
I had surgery was on a liquid diet for a week that got me used to fasting lost 18lb down to one meal a day I feel great. Thanks Dr Berg
You are very welcome, glad it helped! Keep up the good work!
Starting another 3 day fast today. I hike 5 miles a day, even while I'm fasting. Experimenting with starting my fast at 2pm instead of dinner the night before.
👏👏👏Keep up the great work. Go with your bad self!
Three days with no food?
@@pmacc3557 Yes. Water and coffee. ACV tonic with minerals.
Congrats!! Until recently, I could imagine going a whole day without good but I had a bout of Covid couple weeks ago and was unable to eat for days. That got me researching on the benefits of fasting and I amaze myself how I can now go a day or 2 with little to no food.
@@MS-yu5cl Thank you! Fasting will continue to amaze and delight you. Glad you recovered from Covid
I first fasted in 1979, when I was 19. I don't know how many times I've fasted. Back in the day my husband and I did 30 day juice fasts. I worked all day as a waitress in a health food restaurant and he did construction!
I wish he was my teacher back in school..I feel so much smarter & well informed when I watch his break down videos
I live in Quebec and seeing a doctor here isnt easy, especially a family doctor, wait lists are like 6 to 10 years. And when you get to see one they will not take this time to explain everything. I just wanna say thanks Dr Berg for changing my life.
I hope i can get back on track. The last 2 years have not been good and i feel like I’ve lost motivation. Thanks for the great videos, I’m hoping to make 2022 much better!!!
Me too, I had lost 33 lbs a year ago, skinny as high school. Now I gained back about 40'. I lost 11 pounds a month 3 months with hypothyroidism so I know how. I'll be doing searches. Berg motivates so I'll start watching him again. Good luck to you and I.
Good luck to all of us- the last couple of years have been hard on everybody. New year, fresh start. ❤
I know my sleep has been off since I retired. I find my self napping around 10pm, waking up at 1:30am
Dr Berg, you rocked with that smile on the thumbnail. Thanks for the content. I followed your advice on IF and it works.
So true on Fasting doing it since 1 month and results are awesome.
I began with walking fast every day, but couldn't lose weight. Keto and fasting took care of the weight loss and fixing my fatty liver. The 103 pound weight loss enabled me to continue the fast walks and return to the gym. Now I'm pushing heavier than I was in my 20s, I'm now 53 - I know, I don't look it!

@@namuggahidaaya4959 I can give you an example of one day, as I rotate it. I have just two meals per day. Meal one, two egg omelette with melted cheese and bacon.
Meal two, homemade burger patties from ground beef, with vegetables and my own keto flatbread.
I have been doing 1 or 2 meals a day the last week or so. Man first few days I was so HUNGRY. Today I ate at 1pm for the first time, Now 11pm and not hungry. Pretty incredible. I def need to work on getting to bed earlier though. TY Dr. Berg!
Good job. Keep that up!

Ive lost 3kgs in a week, all I’ve done is got rid of bread and grains, doing 16-8 with a couple of 18-6 IF with a whole food keto type diet. Very little exercise, it’s actually amazing. Bed time thing for me is an issue, i do shift work, predominately afternoon and night shifts with two day shifts. My normal bed time is either after midnight or 7am in the morning… just do the best you can, if you eat right you’ll still lose weight, I’ve found my energy levels have increased, my concentration and even my skin has cleared up.
Dr. Berg is HEALING the world!! Thank you and I LOVE you to pieces!!
I took your advice and went and bought nutritional yeast yesterday. And Ashwaganda. I have mad ptsd, anxiety and insomnia but I was able to fall asleep for a bit this morning.. I had to take lots of N yeast and Ashwaganda.. and I’m not sure that’s why I fell asleep but I did ☺️ and I feel so damn chilled out today.. like I haven’t felt in a long time! So I ordered 1 kg of non-fortified nutritional yeast on I herb today plus 500 gr Ashwaganda root powder lol. It’s working!!!
I was a bit surprised about the advice to take vitamin D in the evening. I have previously read that you DON'T want it before going to bed because it may lower/suppress your melatonin levels, plus it's better absorbed when taken with a meal and of course you don't want to eat just before going to bed.
On 2nd week of keto, intermittent fasting, 1 meal a day, zero hunger 😁
Congo how much weight do u lost?
What do you eat on OMAD ?
@@aliciaq70 chicken and vegetables
This video is 100% on point. Sleeping well is the final key to loosing weight. With all the exercises and dieting you do, incorporate good sleep of up to 7-10hrs and you will see massive weight loss
No, it just about how many calories you intake and how much you burn, even during sleeping (while sleeping you don´t intake calories! you just burn a little bit).
@@ElPiedro80 You can work out and burn all the calories you like but if you barely sleep, you will barely loose weight. I am talking from experience.
@@danielbob4310 I agree with you. It helps sooo much with fat loss. When you can't sleep you can lose weight but it's all muscle
Daniel, the word is losing, not loosing. Learn the difference.
@@judeirwin2222 Thanks my English teacher
The nutritional yeast suggestion was wonderful. Tried it last night. No night terrors last night. Yay!!!!
When I realize I’m doing everything right. Thank u so much Dr. Berg .
I sure know l coul never say "l am doing everything right"
That was a LOT of very valuable information! Thank you Dr Berg!!
Most welcome! Glad you found it useful!
12:05 "Lets say you worked out, you ate healthy and then you had this little carbo snack, guess what, all those great, potential benefits are nullified."
Do you have studies to prove this? That's a very bold statement.
Hey Doc, I’ve recently found your channel and think it’s just fabulous. Thank you for all this fantastic straightforward information,…..but what about us truck drivers!? It’s not just trying to figure what food to take with us or what to buy while on the road, it’s much more. We don’t have time for much exercise, trying to minimize stress it’s not easy, receiving “proper” sleep is out the door (team driving is 10 to a max 11hrs driving with about as much in the sleeper, then back to driving until we’re home), trying to eat at “regular “ times is impossible, sleeping while your moving, etc, etc. I really hope you address this for us drivers. Please look into how we operate to understand. For me my company has no rhythm. Each week is different. We never get a full weekend nor two days together off. Once we start we don’t stop until we’re home except for fuel, switching drivers, making the delivery. We can leave at midnight to be back by 10a only to turn back out later that afternoon to return in a couple days to leave again 12 hrs later, etc, etc. Yes, that’s truly how crazy it is for me. And each week is different. It’s highly erratic. I’m based in NC. I can be in MN one day, come back and head to Boston, come back and go to TX, etc. If you could please message me so I don’t miss your response. Thank you very much!
I’m on my 3rd day of fasting, I have a slight headache though, I’m glad that I’m able to fast , very challenging for me🙏🏽
Just hang in there sis. I went through the same thing and still do when I wait to fast for a long period. Your body will adapt. Try short naps if possible and avoid TV bc the food commercials will make you give in.
Dri k more water 💧 it helps alot!
Drink lots of water, keeps you hydrated and skin plump...
You have a headache lil Himalayan salt in ur water
I’m on day 4, I’ve noticed I’m waking at 4am ish feeling very thirsty.
Today I’m also craving bread/potatoes, so I’m keeping very busy, this craving is going.
this is so true! I did 1nhr on the elliptical. ran for 30 min...did weights...did a core workout and then sat in the sauna for an hour while I had drank a gallon of electrolyte water that had 2 tea potassium 2 tea baking soda 1 tea magneisum 1 tea Himalaya salt and 1/8tea boron and 2 lemons.... i was totally fasted. ive never felt better
Thanks Dr Berg, this is exactly what the advice I need !
So over the past few weeks I've transitioned to low carb and IF. The last 2 days I believe I have achieved an true keto diet. Last night I got about 5 hours of sleep and naturally woke up about 3.5 hours earlier this morning than usual feeling wide awake and well rested. Could this be caused by actually entering ketosis? Or something else I need to focus on?
Hope this video helps!

My brother says this happens with ketosis and has to do with the way the brain 'flushes' itself out, and uses glycogen to do this....it literally wakes u up to look for sugar. I have had four nights of keto insomnia now. He said go a little slower, accept you may need a small amount of carb at bedtime for a while (see Dr Gundrys list of acceptable foods, stage 3, the plant paradox for ideas) have your last meal 4 hours before bed, walk after the meal, and have a lukewarm shower at bedtime. Apparently really helps. He spends his whole life looking at this stuff (chronic illness, lots of time in an ashram etc)...good luck. Transition is not easy.
I take magnesium glycinate before bed and it helps so much!
Thank you doc for doing for us the donkey work with all the readings and researches. Now it’s upon us to apply what we have learnt from you. Pls keep up the hard work
Very helpful. Part of curing or at least alleviating a bad condition is understanding it better. Thank you for trying to help !
My health improved greatly since I read about ur intermittent fasting and keto diet tank you
Thank you! I am in the process of moving 2000 miles away and am experiencing quite a lot of stress. I can't wait to get settled in and get my sleep back!
Fantastic video. Thank you, Dr. Berg! I got plenty of tips here, which I am going to follow up on!
How much DHEA should I be taking ? I am 67 I feel great. I have been on keto for the past 6 months. Lost alot of weight.. Working out & intermittent fasting. & No sugar is the way to go!! God bless you Amen 🙏
Dr. Berg, If I'm going to sleep around 10:30, but not supposed to drink beverages after 6:30, how am I supposed to take mag, D3/K2 and B1 supplements right before bed?
Drink a Coke.
I don’t think a few gulps to take supplements will fill up your bladder enough to wake you up in the middle of the night.
You can also just take the drops.
@@jerseytony1 lololol yes.
Sleeping naked (with minimal clothes) also helps, since your body needs to work a bit harder to keep warm.
Dear Dr Berg, your videos have totally transformed our ideas of diet and health and we are able to transmit this in our workshops with professional & amateur dancers. Thankyou!
I really appreciate the effort you put here.. thanks alot doctor
Rather than take a multitude of supplements - is there a multi supplement that you can reccomend that has theses combined already? Love your videos - think you're lovely.
Ohky so.. I actully do extensive workout 6 days a week and i have been doing gym and exercise for years now but everytime i stop Doing exercise even for 2 to 3 months, i start to gain weight very rapidly..
Recently after some break i have started doing exercise again and even with so much effort and having 2 meals a day i am again stuck at a paticualt weight.
I am trying to follow ur videos as much as possible and they have given me courage.
YouR videos are amazing.. its like magic words coming out of your mouth
I hoping to lose weight better now when i am following ur videos very seriously.
Thanks DOC. You are great
Thankyou Dr. Berg for all your words of wisdom. I knew about these things independently but not together as a whole. Thank you my favorite doctor. Ann
Doc can you make a video on headaches while fasting? I feel weak and dizzy when fasting. I used to do intermittent fasting regularly before, but during Covid i gained weight and unable to fast now without severe headaches. I also have a history of high blood pressure.
Try low carb, no sugar i.e. BANTING plus One Meal A Day. I had migraines from 8yrs old. None now. IF since Aug, Banting since Feb 2021. 11kgs down. Slowly ... but surely, what's off is OFF
That’s part of fasting, nothing great in life comes without it’s struggles. I get the headaches to I just decide to boss up.
Headaches while fasting are clear cut signs of low electrolytes, especially salt and magnesium.
Add half a tea spoon of pink salt or Himalaya salt in about 2 liters of water and drink that all through....then u can go through your fasting for days without any headaches.....I normally squeeze in some lemon as well. Works perfectly fine
@@ucheezeh3232 does drinking salt water during fast break ketosis?
Started Dr Berg fasting advise just a week ago. I sleep better at night and more than 6 hours. Wake up rested and energetic. This video will help me even more ❤. Thanks 😊
Hi Dr.Berg,
Love you videos. Very helpful. I have learned a lot. I was wondering if you can do a video on shift workers, eating, weight loss , and sleep. I work shift work, afternoon and sometimes the night shift.
Thank you

Great ino but somewhat confusing. Don't work out before or after you eat...How long before or after should one wait?? Work out during you IF which for most people is overnight. However, I work nights & I'm really trying to stick to this Keto and IF. 2 weeks and I've lost 7 pounds... Happy with these results so far, but I'm still confused after watching this video about when to work out and eating.
Usually, wait one hour before or after meals.
Im currently on the Intermittent Fasting started yesterday (16Jan23) will update Sunday (22Jan23) when i weigh myself again if i remeber. No working out yet for me I am currently 308 pounds I was socked when I saw it was usally 260 pound which is heavy but that was my weight for like 7+ years. Now I decided to work on myself finnaly.
@@whatthehellnomorebees6175.
Congratulations!🎉. One day at a time!💯😘
In that sense morning workout suits the best, try as much as u can without having any preworkout. Then have something mybe an hour later. In evening we re usually exhausted nd crave for food specially snacks so maintaining the gap is hard
Okay Remembered I lost 6 pounds from monday to today 🙂 so the 23 hour Fasting works. But Its the first week my body is still getting use to the Fasting think Ill lose more this com8ng week
Im watching series in utube i suddenly press this...and doc said no cellphone before sleep..
So i need to continue watching this tomorrow..
