Just a note to anyone out there who is struggling with weight..Dr.Berg is spot on. I have gone from 375 to 210 with Intermttent Fasting and have yet to disagree with his advice. Thank You Eric for all you have done for me on my journey to get healthy - you are my go to guy!
@@Drberg I need serious advice Dr Berg my weight, diet and motivation to get started is so low in struggling to keep going. I'm so lost and confused on what to feed myself and when to eat that I have given up can you help please 😢
220 to 195 so far with 1 meal a day, 16-20 hour fast 5-6 days a week. Very good. My blood pressure is much lower, no more headaches, and mind feels clear everyday.
I just started a week and half ago 18- we hrs fasting one meal a day I have bloating hood this helps and lose weight it does suppressed your appetite 🙏🏽
So happy for you! I hope more of us do this. We will survive better what’s coming. We are strengthening our immune system which we all desperately need! Stay strong ! Congrats
I totally believe this! My grandpa ate between 8 and 10am and then dinner between 5pm to 6pm and he passed at 114years old on his birthday peacefully at 4am! He also fasted a lot when he was much younger. My pop pop had it going pretty well upstairs even till death! He would only ask you questions like "what's the time?" maybe 2ce or 3ce in an hour which isn't bad at all!!!
During Ramadan (muslim annual fasting month) i noticed a difference the way I was able to communicate and construct my sentences while fasting. I was able to communicate clearly both written and spoken. Things became very clear and I did not have brain fog as i usually do when not fasting.
😢thank you Dr Berg. As a Christian, I fast regularly to to get closer to the Lord; to be able to hear his direction for my life etc. I highly recommend it for health and healing to all of your flesh. Spirit Soul and Body.
@@ArifAli-hg1eq There are many fasts. A fast where you can consume just juices and water, a fast of only water and even a more extreme fast of no food no water. I would recommend the water fast, its the best in every aspect.

Even the PCPs do not educate their own patients to this level. 1st and foremost cutting sugar and fasting helped me stop neuropathy in my feet and just understanding how foods and hormones and liver brain function.Extremely greatful.

@@crusoebower3391 since I see two people confused I'll clarify. I have taken breaks from smoking multiple times in my life. The cognitive rebound is much more significant when fasting on a proper diet.
The reason these two go hand in hand is due to the fact that once you get into ketosis, you are no longer hungry and can therefore go very long between meals. After 6 weeks I am now eating around noon each day with last meal at 6 and I am never hungry. Thanks Doc
@@USA2Brazil I’m the same way. I really struggle to make it 48 hours on a fast. After listening to this video and all the benefits you are supposed to get, I don’t feel like I get any of them. So disappointing.
@@blingbling3730 it is important to start slow. dont force my body to fast for long periods. First start 14 h fasts and when you get used to it you can do 16 h every other day depending on how you feel. And go from there slowly.
@@USA2Brazil it sounds like you are doing IF WRONG. 48 hours straight of fasting? That's not how the doc stated to be introduced to this lifestyle change. You need to start off doing 18 hours of fasting, and a window of 6 hours of eating quality foods.
I did it on 30 days in Ramadan. This Ramadan was different for me since I had to work while fasting and no resting or nap. The healthy benefits were excellent and I have accomplished more than I did in the other 11 months of the year. Thank you Dr Eric🙏 for the health benefit awareness.
@@Chicago48 I know some people with diabetes in our community and they are exempted fasting in Ramadan they would have to compensate by giving charity to a poor person. You would have to look for other options that have you the same result or as the Doctor here in the channel.
Ramadan isnt healthy, i does not consider (personal) circumstances. Just a fixed rule for a month. Not healthy in periods and regions with very high temperatures for instance. The period after ramadan isnt healthy either; going back to previous food patterns.
I’m doing the 23hr fast for the 3rd day now. It is a bit weird to only eat 1 hour in the day, but I’m starting to reep the benefits. More time to do something else, it’s easy, certainly when doing meal preps too, it enhances my focus on what I’m eating and I start to love it! I’m no longer bloated, I do have cravings every now and then but they don’t bother me as much, and I’m really really excited to go eat! It was usually just because I was hungry or had a craving. I’m more in control now and it helps to watch your video’s about fasting because it’s like my body speaks to me while watching like a little kid. Saying things like Oh please can you do this!? I would love to get some autophagy and gut repair, and please spoil me with a 72hrs fast because aren’t I worthy after all I did for you?! 😂❤
I totally agree with this. When I ate all the time, I was a mental slug. Now, all because of abstaining from stuffing my face all the time, I am so much more productive. Thanks to Dr. Berg and keto+IF!
I’ve been fasting for 5 months now, my feet hurt so bad , I was bed ridden and I didn’t want to poop as much, so I would just eat something once a day or I wouldn’t eat at all, now I’m to the point of just fasting 18 hours a day, and since I’ve started to went from 330lbs to 290lbs , I don’t drink sodas and all I eat are home cooked meals. Fresh ingredients, I went to get blood work done and they said I have high uric acid so they recommend I stay away from eating meats. I don’t have diabetes but I do have high blood pressure, and high insulin resistance. My feet still hurt as if I had neuropathy, I can’t walk without crutches, they gave me steroids and vitamins to heal but I still need to see a neurologist or rheumatologist . I will continue my journey, so far I’m getting better.
I have been watching your videos the entire week or so after finding your channel. I completed a 4 day fast 2 days ago and then went with keto 18/6 If now and moving to 20/4 next week. The energy I have just after the 4 day fast- incredible! You are inspiring! Thank you. God bless.
My Dad passed away from diabetes and heart condition and he was eating grains, carbs, pastries, sugars, and beans and he was drinking one or two alcoholic beverages a day. I told him to switch to keto however he chose to believe the terrible recommendations on those websites because they allowed him to have booze and sweets. It is sad to see that they are still recommending the same stuff on those websites. Thank you for posting this, Dr Berg.
I have been following Dr Berg since last Feb. I have been doing IF and Keto (not complete keto) and went from 154 to 132 in 3 months. Thanks to Dr Berg.
My life has been transformed by this man. Lost 50 lbs, lost gout, lost diabetes and look 20 yrs younger. I love to shock people my with my old license photo!
In addition to your valuable insights, I always appreciate the sound quality on your videos- good mic, pleasant tone of voice, articulate, very easy to listen to
Thank you for calling out some of the suggestions for healthy eating on Google. For years it had me making oatmeal and whole wheat pasta. I couldn't figure out why I was gaining weight, feeling sluggish and miserable. 13 months into keto with IF and i am down 60lbs, reduced symptoms of bipolar and have a better quality of life. Thank you! I am ready to up my IF game now after watching this video. I slacked off to stop weight loss but I think with added fats during the eating window I should still be able to maintain. 🌹
You know what,I think you are the only "Doctor" on this planet! All of your advices have been spot on and I am so grateful to found your channel a year ago. Blessings
I really enjoy the charts and markerboard! I will break out my A&P book and Pathophysiology book and check all this out. It’s really applicable to not only my life but my job too. Thanks for keeping the wheels turning Dr Berg!
I never knew fasting could be so revitalizing? Did my first 72 hour fast! This was after doing intermittent fasting for 4 weeks... then doing a 24 hour fast a few times before the 72 hour fast.... never was hungry.
It's amazing how "not eating" has so many benefits. And it's free, there isn't a drug you can buy at any price that can duplicate these positive health effects.
This video is just incredible!So much crucial information.I watch your videos every day and enjoy listening to all your suggestions and help.Thank you for your will and time you put into your channel with your team doctor Berg! 👌💪😁
Dr. Berg's videos have saved my life! I was very ill before going on KETO and IF. When going on KETO and IF my primary goal was my health, I was close to dying, but the sideeffekt was great amazing weight-loss in a very short time. I feel great again. People should really give this a try, you will be amazed. It also battles addiction. I was very addicted to food. My diet used to be healthy "KETO" without the fat! Terrible, fat is key to this lifestyle/diet! To me Keto and IF are a miracle. Thank you Dr. Berg and team :)
Exercise intolerance. I just keep learning more everytime you do a video. I've always had this since my teen years and I'm now 55. Very obese the last 7 yrs I quit smoking and struggle so bad with a meniscus injury and 140 lb weight gain. I have days with very low carb that I exercise too much because I feel so great but it just causes continued muscle tightness that ends up in full body spasms from my neck to my feet. I just spent 8 weeks in therapy for chronic back pain that I've had for years, so much so that I sleep up to 4 hrs at a time because 8 hrs means I have such pain I can't move. I still can't stand for more than a few minutes and walk with a walker. I keep thinking I'm too young to be this disabled, but never found anyone who could explain why. Thank you for giving me back my self respect...it's not just laziness!
I been doing Keto for 3 years, lost 5 kilos and now stabilised at my target level, I do intermittent fasting for about 4 or 5 days per week and 3 days fasting about 3 times per year. I feel good and my energy level is high. Thank you Dr.Berg helping me getting started on this journey
Mate I've lost 30 pounds in the past month and a half because of what I do and while everyone else says I look like a twig now I can lose another 20. That is way too slow.
Wow, nice! Im just doing 16/8.. not far away from 18, so that's could be my goal! You are great!🙌 Amazing to have that KNOWLEDGE doc right in your hand❤️ Wish you all the best✨
Every time I listen to you I get the feeling that we know everything there is to know about our body. Which is not the case at all.. but you really know what you are talking about. Thank you for taking care of us
I have done keto and IF for about 1 year now. I dropped from 215 to 170 lbs and eliminated rapid resting heart rate, migraines, occasional blurry vision, and brain fog. I am in the best health of my life now. Dr. Berg provides great info. Thank you.
Wonderful! 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.
@@gowanis Hmmm. I wonder about the long term risks of that particular diet though. Wonder what the best diet overall is. It would change depending on one's age I suppose?
You are so wonderful! At menopause I crashed unable to think, confused, terrified of wtf was happening, knowing no MD would have a clue. Now,12 yrs later with diagnosis of AS I knew I was going to use diet to heal and began searching for solutions. Former vegetarian my food is medicine and while keto helped it didn't stop the day & night time hot flashes. Carnivore was better but...now Paleo Ketogenic (thx for interviewing D.r Szophia Clemen's) and finding better results. Was enjoying my ghee in bulletproof coffee but it became an addiction. Tough to find comfort foods in a new diet! But it's happening, especially as my gut rebelled with my occasional binges into pastries, ice cream & whipped cream. Thx for your article on the dangers of those foods too. Big hugs & loving to you Dr. Eric Berg. You are so kind, great to look at & the tone of your voice so soothing. I hop-e your wife has lost her competitive jealousy to realize the quality of her lover & partner by choosing her own goals not in competition. If desperate, a babywill refocus with her delighted too.
thanks Dr Berg, i started 30 days ago with 16/8, then 18/6 and now 20/4. lost 5Kg for today. Very alert and my leg and knee pains completely vanished... thank you....
Thank you for always providing detailed notes and captions. This helps people with hearing challenges or who might be neurodivergent. We all learn in different ways and you have made your amazing content more accessible. It makes a massive difference.
Thank you so much, Dr. Eric Berg! I've been following your intermittent fasting since Dec.4, 2021 and it has been 4 months now and glad to let you know that I've lost 25 lbs! From 127.60, I'm now 122.50 lbs! My goal to be healthy by not eating processed foods, no sugar and only low carbs, with all protein, salad and vegetables that are all keto friendly, I'm almost there having a muscle on my abs!:-) I've been in OMAD for 4 months and 3 days, as of today! Praying for you and your family to continue to share the healthy tips and informations to bring awareness to people to stay healthy, happy and youthful in life! Cheers and may God bless you in all your future endeavors!💕🙏🥰👍-:-)Epiphany N.
I'm watching. I'm 115 pounds, 5feet four inches tall. Hope that's ideal. I'm not diabetic nor pre diabetic yet, as my latest medical results. I'm thankful. 🙂 I go for intermittent fasting. Its truly refreshes once body systems. It relaxes mind, feeling lighter not heavy. Thanks doc 🙂
After watching almost all of your videos I have started eating one meal a day 5 days of the week and rest 2 days 2 meal a day, thank you for the information
Just finished fasting for 30 days of Ramadan. Like every year this year too I found that I am more alert and feel more energetic during the days and nights of Ramadan than the normal days after having 3 meals. No lethargy no acidity during Ramadan. So yes what you say is correct.
Dr. Berg I am truly amazed at how much information you sure with the public I’ve been seeing my doctor for seven years now I can honestly say that he has taught me absolutely nothing in comparison to the two years I have been listening to your videos I truly appreciate your willingness to improve the lives of others.
Go for it! So much conventional wisdom surrounding what is heathy is always guaranteed to bring people back into a debilitating state. This isn’t my first time doing keto,I just wasn’t aware of health washing for sweets. Symptoms of low stomach acid could look like anything! And doctors are very reluctant to bring any attention to the liver, but they will charge you anyway. Thank you for this!
Agreed, I eat once a day for lunch for the most part. I recently was diagnosed with diabetes 2 and I lost 20lbs in the first 2 months but had to eat all day spread out (made sure it was super small meals and cut out most carbs ave sugars). Now that I'm on different meds to potentially wing off everything, I can go back to eating once a day. This gentleman has helped me in so many ways!
Since I have been eating only 1-2 meals a day (because of the invisaligners I have to wear now lol) at first it was rough but now I am used to it! *I look sooo much leaner now!*
@@GuruPrashanth7970 Yes. Have to wear them for 22 hours a day at least. You can see why fasting is a way of life for me now. But, it's good! Eating for survival/health rather than comfort.
For me the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow has been the mental benefits of healthy keto, fasting and Dr. Berg's other nutritional and supplement recommendations. My memory has greatly improved and I feel more intelligent. I follow an 18 - 19 hour fast, and sometimes OMAD. Tremendously helpful educational videos by Dr. Berg!
Thanks so much for pointing out all the most interesting and pivotal biochemical/physiological facts. Everything falls easily into place and I can learn so much about about my own health.
I believe fasting ( 1- meal a day) enhances brain power based on my personal experience. When I was 25 yrs old to 29, I had a very strenuous job that required me to sit all day in the office and skip lunch, not by choice but by necessity coz lunchbreak gave me the opportunity to attend to piles of technical papers that accumulate on my desk over the working hrs from my subordinates. I was a chief design engr and much time is needed mentoring, guiding my people thru the day. Nights were not spared for I' d bring work at home and go through them after I consumed my OMD quickly through the wee hrs. I lost much weight but didnt complain coz my brains worked so well during those times. ( only my wife did complain, for lack of intimate hours so much so that it took 5 yrs before we had our 2nd child, which materialised when I transfered employment). Looking back, now I am retired, I savor that experience and attribute it as responsible for my better health condition ( I am 71), longevity and managing birth control.
I’ve been on a 4 day fast approaching the 5th day. I lost 10 pounds in one week, just drinking water/lemon water. Feels great and the cognitive increase is amazing.
What about muscle mass? Are you losing any or it is not something that you are concerned about at this point of your "journey" ??? I notice i lose muscle when I fast so I only do 36hrs or 48 max.
@@redpillbulgaria-v2.063 move! If you fast and don't make exercise or move, you will lose muscle like when someone has to spend time at the hospital. So... You have to walk and exercise
@@LuisC7 I workout regularly but still I notice I'm losing muscle mass. Also I'm a bit confused what type of exercises and what intencity as there are condraticting statements from Dr. Berg who says to do HIIT and Dr. Ekberg who advice to do low repetition and not increase your heart rate because it will spike insulin.
@@redpillbulgaria-v2.063 if you're really on ketosis and you're not extremely slim, then you aren't losing muscle maybe it's water. But to fast you have to have fat to lose
Many years of eating high carbs lead me into every symptom you described from tingling extremities , GERD orthostatic hypotension, tachycardia , swallowing difficulties . Im hard core keto and intermittent fasting now
This explains so much I have been experiencing chest discomfort like you described it and lots of mind fog. I will try this fast and see how it affects my body. I'll comment back in a month.
This is very informative. Thank you Dr Berg. Proper diet, walking and fasting have changed my life. Fasting boosts clarity of mind. I've been doing intermittent fasting for sometime now and the result was incredible. My hunger is way down and I can actually manage those urges to eat all the time.
Oh hell yes, love it. Fasting. The only health intervention that has no effort. It actually has negative effort (you skip breakfast). Still hoping that Dr. B talks about earthing/grounding one day, I feel like so many people are missing out on that amazingness. Those with some form of chronic inflammation anyway (it cured my life-long severe life-threatening allergic asthma).
I stopped this wonderful video just to comment. It is amazing the kind of knowledge this man brings to us all. I have learned so many new things in this one video (the conditions with the autonomic nervous system), it is amazing that sugar has NOT been banned to this day, like a drug! God bless you Dr. Berg!
As suffering from bipolar disorder for years and noticing that my memory has worsen over the years, I intend to follow the advice of the video. Many thanks.
100 % agreed we just did Ramadan fasting for 30 days a week ago I really enjoyed the calmness felling light and energetic and also found less of stress.
1 Billion Muslims, 0 Noble Prizes in Science A few Million Jews, 100's of Noble Prizes in Science I guess it's not just about improving the brain power, it is how we use it
❤ the information . My chronic disease nurse is supportive of the you and the evidence of using Ketosis to lose weight and improve my cholesterol, obesity and insulin resistance
Dear Mr. Jedi Doctor, I can not express my gratitude enough but I have been relentlessly preaching about the hazards of SUGAR immediately after listening to you about this fast. My other favorite Jedi Doctor is Jedi Robert H. Lustig, MD, UCSF Professor. I have been following the 18 hour fast, promoting Ketosis for three days in a row. I will not explain everything all over here, but I have been documenting what I have discovered on FB, Twitter and Linkedin, but most heavily on Facebook. It is absolutely amazing what has happened to me! You are an extremely intelligent Doctor and I am honored to listen to your wisdom and the other Jedi!
I appreciate the knowledge that you continue to share. I was able to lose more than 100lbs by what I've learned on this channel, in relation to IF and the keto diet. This knowledge continues to help me as I enter new paths on this fat loss journey. Keep up the great work!!
Love some of your videos on IF. I lost over 50+ pounds with water, low calorie drinks, and walking and IF. My great grandma would be proud of my greens. Love her for the roots she planted.
So glad a doctor who really is informed and not just pushing medicine. Fasting can almost cure everything. I fasted over 90 days in 2018 and i became a different person in every area of my life.
You are awesome Dr Berg I tried fasting after seeing your videos I gradually increased the fasting window to 48 hours a few weeks ago Now I can easily fast 24 hours (which previously would have wrecked me and given me headache) The mental acuity is amazing, and I can also see that play out at work. 1. Intermittent fasting 2. Cold showers 3. Mostly keto diet (I get my carbohydrates from healthy sources) - as much organic as possible
This is the right video I need, while hopefully doing a 24+ hour fast prior to my exam on Thursday. (Tuesday today) I'm going to need super brain powers!
I tried an experiment one time. I watched dr Berg's video on what happens to your body when you fast for 24,48,72 hours. Highly recommend you take the time to watch it. So i tried it and what a difference i felt after 72 hours. Its like a reset for the body. My legs hate allot of fluid build up. After 3 days down 12 lbs of fluid. No more fluid in my legs. Imf works wonders for your body and your brain. Worth giving it a try. Your body will thank you.
Yes, he's great & IF is superb, as is fasting longer to restart the gut-mind connections, eliminate gut issues & resolve the hot flashes all too common & not a dam medical solution without using their offered - antidepressants or birth control pills! Yah, as if those are useful & not harmful! I hope 2022 bring the entire pharma industry down as Pfizer data dump reveals their toxicity at all levels of their stated intentions to their purpose.
Not a diabetic, and with a fasting insulin of 2.8 I do experience the esophageal conditions you described difficulty swallowing spasms that contribute to severe chest pain and regurgitation.. I was diagnosed with Achalasia. I’ve been living with it since 2009. I have noticed some of my symptoms.improving with a high fat low carb + fasting lifestyle. Thank you for the great content.
I don’t know If anyone ever gave you this feedback, I’m a heavy weed smoker and after doing two months of one meal a day I never had the munchies again no matter how much weed I smoked, not sure if that works for others but found it very interesting. Thank again for what you do. Once I hit 150lbs off will write a story on your site! I’m almost there.
Literally was energized with no slump until I broke the fast. I noticed that I become fatigued when I do eat after fasting 18 hours. Please help me with storing the balance between mind and body. Thank you for keeping up healthy.
Just a note to anyone out there who is struggling with weight..Dr.Berg is spot on. I have gone from 375 to 210 with Intermttent Fasting and have yet to disagree with his advice. Thank You Eric for all you have done for me on my journey to get healthy - you are my go to guy!

I totally agree with this. When I ate all the time, I was a mental slug. Now, all because of abstaining from stuffing my face all the time, I am so much more productive. Thanks to Dr. Berg and keto+IF!
Thank you have done the 18 hour fasting the last two days and did notice a great difference! This will be a mainstay in my lifestyle thank you Dr!
I’ve been fasting for 5 months now, my feet hurt so bad , I was bed ridden and I didn’t want to poop as much, so I would just eat something once a day or I wouldn’t eat at all, now I’m to the point of just fasting 18 hours a day, and since I’ve started to went from 330lbs to 290lbs , I don’t drink sodas and all I eat are home cooked meals. Fresh ingredients, I went to get blood work done and they said I have high uric acid so they recommend I stay away from eating meats. I don’t have diabetes but I do have high blood pressure, and high insulin resistance. My feet still hurt as if I had neuropathy, I can’t walk without crutches, they gave me steroids and vitamins to heal but I still need to see a neurologist or rheumatologist . I will continue my journey, so far I’m getting better.
I have been watching your videos the entire week or so after finding your channel. I completed a 4 day fast 2 days ago and then went with keto 18/6 If now and moving to 20/4 next week. The energy I have just after the 4 day fast- incredible!
You are inspiring! Thank you. God bless.
So cool 👍 thank you so much for sharing.
My Dad passed away from diabetes and heart condition and he was eating grains, carbs, pastries, sugars, and beans and he was drinking one or two alcoholic beverages a day. I told him to switch to keto however he chose to believe the terrible recommendations on those websites because they allowed him to have booze and sweets. It is sad to see that they are still recommending the same stuff on those websites. Thank you for posting this, Dr Berg.
I have been following Dr Berg since last Feb. I have been doing IF and Keto (not complete keto) and went from 154 to 132 in 3 months. Thanks to Dr Berg.
My life has been transformed by this man. Lost 50 lbs, lost gout, lost diabetes and look 20 yrs younger. I love to shock people my with my old license photo!
In addition to your valuable insights, I always appreciate the sound quality on your videos- good mic, pleasant tone of voice, articulate, very easy to listen to
Thank you for calling out some of the suggestions for healthy eating on Google. For years it had me making oatmeal and whole wheat pasta. I couldn't figure out why I was gaining weight, feeling sluggish and miserable. 13 months into keto with IF and i am down 60lbs, reduced symptoms of bipolar and have a better quality of life. Thank you! I am ready to up my IF game now after watching this video. I slacked off to stop weight loss but I think with added fats during the eating window I should still be able to maintain. 🌹
just did a 48 hr fast. Not even feeling hungry.
You know what,I think you are the only "Doctor" on this planet!
All of your advices have been spot on and I am so grateful to found your channel a year ago.
Blessings
I really enjoy the charts and markerboard! I will break out my A&P book and Pathophysiology book and check all this out. It’s really applicable to not only my life but my job too. Thanks for keeping the wheels turning Dr Berg!
You are making me change my diet and lifestyle, noone has ever done this before! Knowledge and good narration is magical, thank you doc! :D
I never knew fasting could be so revitalizing? Did my first 72 hour fast! This was after doing intermittent fasting for 4 weeks... then doing a 24 hour fast a few times before the 72 hour fast.... never was hungry.
It's amazing how "not eating" has so many benefits. And it's free, there isn't a drug you can buy at any price that can duplicate these positive health effects.
Being an ardent disciple & a loyal fan for many years, I'm still struck by how life-improving and yet still scintillating your videos are. Blessed.
Thanks for watching! Glad you found the information useful!
This video is just incredible!So much crucial information.I watch your videos every day and enjoy listening to all your suggestions and help.Thank you for your will and time you put into your channel with your team doctor Berg! 👌💪😁
Dr. Berg's videos have saved my life! I was very ill before going on KETO and IF. When going on KETO and IF my primary goal was my health, I was close to dying, but the sideeffekt was great amazing weight-loss in a very short time. I feel great again. People should really give this a try, you will be amazed. It also battles addiction. I was very addicted to food. My diet used to be healthy "KETO" without the fat! Terrible, fat is key to this lifestyle/diet! To me Keto and IF are a miracle. Thank you Dr. Berg and team :)
Exercise intolerance.
I just keep learning more everytime you do a video. I've always had this since my teen years and I'm now 55. Very obese the last 7 yrs I quit smoking and struggle so bad with a meniscus injury and 140 lb weight gain.
I have days with very low carb that I exercise too much because I feel so great but it just causes continued muscle tightness that ends up in full body spasms from my neck to my feet. I just spent 8 weeks in therapy for chronic back pain that I've had for years, so much so that I sleep up to 4 hrs at a time because 8 hrs means I have such pain I can't move. I still can't stand for more than a few minutes and walk with a walker.
I keep thinking I'm too young to be this disabled, but never found anyone who could explain why.
Thank you for giving me back my self respect...it's not just laziness!
The internal navigation is sooooo spot on. My mind can recall exactly where I park so much quicker now.
I can confirm this!
When i fast 21 hours, i will like a new person.i get very creative and i start to remember things.
Thanks for sharing! Glad you found the information useful!
So cool. 👍 Thanks for sharing.
Thx for sharing.
I been doing Keto for 3 years, lost 5 kilos and now stabilised at my target level, I do intermittent fasting for about 4 or 5 days per week and 3 days fasting about 3 times per year. I feel good and my energy level is high.
Thank you Dr.Berg helping me getting started on this journey
Thats slow
@@vartoli6882 fat loss is slow. You shouldn't confuse it with initial water retention loss.
yeah not really good
@@SharkFishSF you are confuse you can lose water in few days not 5 years 40 days fasting with water you lose 1 pound per day
Mate I've lost 30 pounds in the past month and a half because of what I do and while everyone else says I look like a twig now I can lose another 20. That is way too slow.
Honestly I feel so lucky to have this data! thank you so much🎉
Wow, nice! Im just doing 16/8.. not far away from 18, so that's could be my goal! You are great!🙌 Amazing to have that KNOWLEDGE doc right in your hand❤️ Wish you all the best✨

It's my pleasure. Glad you liked the video!
Damn, ain't it the truth!!
I have done keto and IF for about 1 year now. I dropped from 215 to 170 lbs and eliminated rapid resting heart rate, migraines, occasional blurry vision, and brain fog. I am in the best health of my life now. Dr. Berg provides great info. Thank you.

Wait so what did you do
@@jerryberry3501 fast 18 hours a day and eat a ketogenic diet by removing grains and fruits and seed oils
@@gowanis Hmmm. I wonder about the long term risks of that particular diet though. Wonder what the best diet overall is. It would change depending on one's age I suppose?
Wow so inspiring!
You are so wonderful!
At menopause I crashed unable to think, confused, terrified of wtf was happening, knowing no MD would have a clue. Now,12 yrs later with diagnosis of AS I knew I was going to use diet to heal and began searching for solutions.
Former vegetarian my food is medicine and while keto helped it didn't stop the day & night time hot flashes. Carnivore was better but...now Paleo Ketogenic (thx for interviewing D.r Szophia Clemen's) and finding better results.
Was enjoying my ghee in bulletproof coffee but it became an addiction. Tough to find comfort foods in a new diet! But it's happening, especially as my gut rebelled with my occasional binges into pastries, ice cream & whipped cream. Thx for your article on the dangers of those foods too.
Big hugs & loving to you Dr. Eric Berg. You are so kind, great to look at & the tone of your voice so soothing. I hop-e your wife has lost her competitive jealousy to realize the quality of her lover & partner by choosing her own goals not in competition. If desperate, a babywill refocus with her delighted too.
thanks Dr Berg, i started 30 days ago with 16/8, then 18/6 and now 20/4. lost 5Kg for today. Very alert and my leg and knee pains completely vanished... thank you....
It does that... Stops inflammation ...
That's really wonderful. Keep it up!
Fasting means no water also please let me know bro!!
@@manvindersingh6491 No! Actually drink bone broth or at the very least have water + himalayan salt.
@@manvindersingh6491 You can drink water

Agree👌
It's my pleasure. Glad you liked the video!
Thank you so much, Dr. Eric Berg! I've been following your intermittent fasting since Dec.4, 2021 and it has been 4 months now and glad to let you know that I've lost 25 lbs! From 127.60, I'm now 122.50 lbs! My goal to be healthy by not eating processed foods, no sugar and only low carbs, with all protein, salad and vegetables that are all keto friendly, I'm almost there having a muscle on my abs!:-) I've been in OMAD for 4 months and 3 days, as of today! Praying for you and your family to continue to share the healthy tips and informations to bring awareness to people to stay healthy, happy and youthful in life! Cheers and may God bless you in all your future endeavors!💕🙏🥰👍-:-)Epiphany N.
I'm watching. I'm 115 pounds, 5feet four inches tall.
Hope that's ideal. I'm not diabetic nor pre diabetic yet, as my latest medical results. I'm thankful. 🙂
I go for intermittent fasting. Its truly refreshes once body systems. It relaxes mind, feeling lighter not heavy. Thanks doc 🙂
Keep up the good work!
You are most welcome.
After watching almost all of your videos I have started eating one meal a day 5 days of the week and rest 2 days 2 meal a day, thank you for the information
It's my pleasure. Glad you liked the video!
Just finished fasting for 30 days of Ramadan. Like every year this year too I found that I am more alert and feel more energetic during the days and nights of Ramadan than the normal days after having 3 meals. No lethargy no acidity during Ramadan. So yes what you say is correct.
Do you get more angry 😠 in the Ramadan?
Dr. Berg I am truly amazed at how much information you sure with the public I’ve been seeing my doctor for seven years now I can honestly say that he has taught me absolutely nothing in comparison to the two years I have been listening to your videos I truly appreciate your willingness to improve the lives of others.
Go for it! So much conventional wisdom surrounding what is heathy is always guaranteed to bring people back into a debilitating state. This isn’t my first time doing keto,I just wasn’t aware of health washing for sweets. Symptoms of low stomach acid could look like anything! And doctors are very reluctant to bring any attention to the liver, but they will charge you anyway.
Thank you for this!
Agreed, I eat once a day for lunch for the most part.
I recently was diagnosed with diabetes 2 and I lost 20lbs in the first 2 months but had to eat all day spread out (made sure it was super small meals and cut out most carbs ave sugars). Now that I'm on different meds to potentially wing off everything, I can go back to eating once a day. This gentleman has helped me in so many ways!
Since I have been eating only 1-2 meals a day (because of the invisaligners I have to wear now lol) at first it was rough but now I am used to it! *I look sooo much leaner now!*
do you remove your invisalign when eating?
@@GuruPrashanth7970 yes
@@GuruPrashanth7970 Yes. Have to wear them for 22 hours a day at least. You can see why fasting is a way of life for me now. But, it's good! Eating for survival/health rather than comfort.
That's really wonderful. Keep it up!
Thank You,
For me the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow has been the mental benefits of healthy keto, fasting and Dr. Berg's other nutritional and supplement recommendations. My memory has greatly improved and I feel more intelligent. I follow an 18 - 19 hour fast, and sometimes OMAD. Tremendously helpful educational videos by Dr. Berg!
Thanks so much for pointing out all the most interesting and pivotal biochemical/physiological facts. Everything falls easily into place and I can learn so much about about my own health.
I believe fasting ( 1- meal a day) enhances brain power based on my personal experience. When I was 25 yrs old to 29, I had a very strenuous job that required me to sit all day in the office and skip lunch, not by choice but by necessity coz lunchbreak gave me the opportunity to attend to piles of technical papers that accumulate on my desk over the working hrs from my subordinates. I was a chief design engr and much time is needed mentoring, guiding my people thru the day. Nights were not spared for I' d bring work at home and go through them after I consumed my OMD quickly through the wee hrs. I lost much weight but didnt complain coz my brains worked so well during those times. ( only my wife did complain, for lack of intimate hours so much so that it took 5 yrs before we had our 2nd child, which materialised when I transfered employment). Looking back, now I am retired, I savor that experience and attribute it as responsible for my better health condition ( I am 71), longevity and managing birth control.
that's rough, man! Glad you came out of it all right, enjoy the deserved retirement
@@Yarblocosifilitico Thx for sharing and enjoy your retirement.
I’ve been on a 4 day fast approaching the 5th day. I lost 10 pounds in one week, just drinking water/lemon water. Feels great and the cognitive increase is amazing.
What about muscle mass? Are you losing any or it is not something that you are concerned about at this point of your "journey" ???
I notice i lose muscle when I fast so I only do 36hrs or 48 max.
@@redpillbulgaria-v2.063 it could just be from loss of glycogen and water
@@redpillbulgaria-v2.063 move! If you fast and don't make exercise or move, you will lose muscle like when someone has to spend time at the hospital. So... You have to walk and exercise
@@LuisC7 I workout regularly but still I notice I'm losing muscle mass. Also I'm a bit confused what type of exercises and what intencity as there are condraticting statements from Dr. Berg who says to do HIIT and Dr. Ekberg who advice to do low repetition and not increase your heart rate because it will spike insulin.
@@redpillbulgaria-v2.063 if you're really on ketosis and you're not extremely slim, then you aren't losing muscle maybe it's water. But to fast you have to have fat to lose
God Bless you Dr. Berg for all your effort. Excellent videos. You teach so much in normal body physiology alone and the a lot more.
Many years of eating high carbs lead me into every symptom you described from tingling extremities , GERD orthostatic hypotension, tachycardia , swallowing difficulties . Im hard core keto and intermittent fasting now
This explains so much I have been experiencing chest discomfort like you described it and lots of mind fog. I will try this fast and see how it affects my body. I'll comment back in a month.
This is very informative. Thank you Dr Berg. Proper diet, walking and fasting have changed my life. Fasting boosts clarity of mind. I've been doing intermittent fasting for sometime now and the result was incredible. My hunger is way down and I can actually manage those urges to eat all the time.
Very glad to be of help.
Oh hell yes, love it. Fasting. The only health intervention that has no effort. It actually has negative effort (you skip breakfast). Still hoping that Dr. B talks about earthing/grounding one day, I feel like so many people are missing out on that amazingness. Those with some form of chronic inflammation anyway (it cured my life-long severe life-threatening allergic asthma).
Each new video becomes a building block of vital information to a wall of knowledge we need to enjoy a healthy life.
IF is my lifestyle along with "healthy" keto and I have NEVER felt or looked better. Please take this info to heart ❤
I stopped this wonderful video just to comment. It is amazing the kind of knowledge this man brings to us all. I have learned so many new things in this one video (the conditions with the autonomic nervous system), it is amazing that sugar has NOT been banned to this day, like a drug! God bless you Dr. Berg!
Hello! Glad to know that you liked this video and found the information informative. Thank you for watching!
It was banned and protested by WOMEN, mothers in the 1880's long ago, but hidden from our eyes. See your US history for more.
It is self-control. If you can see , sugar is bad when we overconsume it.
Absolutely.
Thank you for all of your research and for sharing this!
It's my pleasure. Glad you liked the video!
As suffering from bipolar disorder for years and noticing that my memory has worsen over the years, I intend to follow the advice of the video. Many thanks.
So well explained! :-)
Any body can understand.
Makes me willing to tell to others to. The ones who need to understand this info the most.
Thank you
Always Thankful for your information. Thank you very much

100 % agreed we just did Ramadan fasting for 30 days a week ago I really enjoyed the calmness felling light and energetic and also found less of stress.

Awesome video been doing fasting since January and eating one meal a day glad I come across the videos thanks for info and lost 40 pounds weight
That's really wonderful. Keep it up!
I have tried half day fasting for one week and the result was really good.
No breakfast and no lunch just coffee but full dinner. Will do it again.
Dear Mr. Jedi Doctor, I can not express my gratitude enough but I have been relentlessly preaching about the hazards of SUGAR immediately after listening to you about this fast. My other favorite Jedi Doctor is Jedi Robert H. Lustig, MD, UCSF Professor.
I have been following the 18 hour fast, promoting Ketosis for three days in a row. I will not explain everything all over here, but I have been documenting what I have discovered on FB, Twitter and Linkedin, but most heavily on Facebook. It is absolutely amazing what has happened to me!
You are an extremely intelligent Doctor and I am honored to listen to your wisdom and the other Jedi!
I also love what you,re doing from Cameroon in Africa. God will continue to bless u.
Hello! Glad to know that you liked this video and found the information informative. Thank you for watching!

So cool 👍 really inspiring.
Thank you for all your intelligence. Love your Podcast! I share you with everyone who needs to change there lifestyle.
Love some of your videos on IF. I lost over 50+ pounds with water, low calorie drinks, and walking and IF. My great grandma would be proud of my greens. Love her for the roots she planted.

So glad a doctor who really is informed and not just pushing medicine. Fasting can almost cure everything. I fasted over 90 days in 2018 and i became a different person in every area of my life.
This is one of his very best videos in that it states the greatest benefit of healthy keto+IF and could help every person on the planet.

Excellent info ! Sometime have fasted, but now I realize more how it can benefit. I realize the symptoms I currently have and fasting can help now..
I have been experiencing Chronic Fatigue until I cut out on carbs and started intermittent fasting. There has been a magical change in my life
You are awesome Dr Berg
I tried fasting after seeing your videos
I gradually increased the fasting window to 48 hours a few weeks ago
Now I can easily fast 24 hours (which previously would have wrecked me and given me headache)
The mental acuity is amazing, and I can also see that play out at work.
1. Intermittent fasting
2. Cold showers
3. Mostly keto diet (I get my carbohydrates from healthy sources) - as much organic as possible
This is the right video I need, while hopefully doing a 24+ hour fast prior to my exam on Thursday. (Tuesday today) I'm going to need super brain powers!
Happy you found it useful! Be well!

Wow great info love listening to u. God bless u Thx for all u do. Keep it coming. 🙏❤️
I tried an experiment one time. I watched dr Berg's video on what happens to your body when you fast for 24,48,72 hours. Highly recommend you take the time to watch it. So i tried it and what a difference i felt after 72 hours. Its like a reset for the body. My legs hate allot of fluid build up. After 3 days down 12 lbs of fluid. No more fluid in my legs.
Imf works wonders for your body and your brain. Worth giving it a try. Your body will thank you.
Yes, he's great & IF is superb, as is fasting longer to restart the gut-mind connections, eliminate gut issues & resolve the hot flashes all too common & not a dam medical solution without using their offered - antidepressants or birth control pills!
Yah, as if those are useful & not harmful! I hope 2022 bring the entire pharma industry down as Pfizer data dump reveals their toxicity at all levels of their stated intentions to their purpose.
Continue 72 hrs fasting
Very brilliant and rich knowledge Dr. Stay blessed with same sprite of serving for healthy life with so valuable information. 💯💯👍👍💯💯

Not a diabetic, and with a fasting insulin of 2.8 I do experience the esophageal conditions you described difficulty swallowing spasms that contribute to severe chest pain and regurgitation..

I don’t know If anyone ever gave you this feedback, I’m a heavy weed smoker and after doing two months of one meal a day I never had the munchies again no matter how much weed I smoked, not sure if that works for others but found it very interesting.
Thank again for what you do. Once I hit 150lbs off will write a story on your site! I’m almost there.
Literally was energized with no slump until I broke the fast. I noticed that I become fatigued when I do eat after fasting 18 hours. Please help me with storing the balance between mind and body. Thank you for keeping up healthy.
