I am 66 year old female I have lost 30 lbs on low carb and am maintaining that loss by continuing on low carb. Once a week a have a sweet that I have been wanting. I actually saved a gourmet chocolate chip cookie for five days before I indulged. Did it send me on a sugar binge? The answer is no. I am approaching this as a life style, for the very first time in my life, I consider the health benefit and body size benefits both. I can’t go through my life completely feeling deprived, but now I can control when, where and how much. Freedom to remain slim and healthy!!!!
I love this woman; her calming voice would typically be so soothing, and some might lose interest. However, there's a difference with Dr. Becky, at least from my perspective, and that is she wastes no words. Every word used, every inflection has a purpose, listening is easy, there is no resistance, and as a result, what she says is easily inculcated. Great work, Dr. Becky. I have personally experienced what you say about sugar. One must eliminate them, and in a few days, cravings go away. One more point, even as I have been relatively fit most of my life until I started intermittent fasting and low carbs, I thought of little else but sweets. How liberating it is to be freed of that addiction.
Fitness Guru Jack Lalanne never ate his own birthday cake. He referred to sugar & flour as "white death", and despite being sickly & bad-tempered as a teenager, he set phenomenal world records in strength & endurance throughout the rest of his life, living to be a respectable 96 years old.
I wish we still had a Jack Lalanne or Richard Simmons on local channels. They have brought back old shows like brady bunch, flintstones etc ...so I'm hoping
Your videos ALWAYS encouraging me to stay the course, even though my menopausal body isn’t responding as fast as I would like. Thank you for great teaching and guidance for this chapter of life.
Thanks Dr. Becky. I started Keto last November and lost 17 pounds but have slowly been inching back into sugar and needed a push from this video to snap out of old favorite snacks and to get re-motivated to do complete Keto.
A cheat can definitely get one to creep back into sugar. I always remind myself, once I go back, the weight comes back too. It's a lifetime lifestyle and our bodies weren't designed to live a carb addicted food lifestyle. Remind yourself cancer cells grow because of it, it contributes to heart disease, viruses thrive on it, bacteria lives off of it, it makes us look older (contributes to wrinkles).... just remember all these things and it'll keep you off the sugar addiction life
Thanks so much for your assistance. I am type 2 caused by Agent Orange in Vietnam. I didn’t know about my problem until the mid 80’s, but didn’t take it seriously until the 90’s, started going to the VA for treatment. A1C is now 7, sometimes higher but have decided on a LOW CARB diet. Carbs are definitely not good for me. My next A1C test will hopefully be much better. I’m keeping my weight down, which I don’t think has ever been the problem. Normally I’m around 170, 5-8 tall. Recently I’m down around 8 lbs, being more serious about CARBS. THANKS AGAIN BENJAMIN
Having done keto for four months, I am wondering about the "cushion" that continues around the pelvic rim and sides. Can you make a video about the areas of fat loss that most people should expect and the time frame to deal with. For me Keto is now a life style choice and currently average between 5 to 10 carbs per day and NO refined carbs in my daily schedule. But this plateau of a cushion is very troubling. Yes, she has a relaxing personality. And the fact she does not have several cameras jumping from side to side (Thomas DeLauer) is so refreshing. She gets top marks. Finally, she is on par with Dr. Jason Fung who I watch and learn from on a regular basis.
It is like my fat cells called Dr. Becky and asked her to make this video just for me, lol. This video is really spot-on for me and my ongoing weight struggles. There are so many bad keto recipes and products out there, particularly for the 3 Cs, that are doing more harm than good. Thank you for the information, motivation, and positivity found here. It really helps!
Becky, I so appreciate you! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us in such practical and well organized manner. You are changing lives. I know, because you are changing mine.
Thanks for the info, enjoy your speaking style too it is very comforting. I have been on keto for 2 years, lost almost 40 lbs but the last 10-15 lbs has been stubborn to lose, hopefully with your videos I can get over this hump. Subscribed.
I am committed. It is quite the weight optimisation having 30kg less on my mountain bike. 🤣 I don’t have problems with restaurants, but when invited to dinners is the hardest. Celebration parties a little less. Haven’t been able to crack those, don’t want disappoint or let people down who have spent a lot of time preparing food. it is not a huge problem last year because of COVID. One party and one restaurant visit in 1 1/2 year. But they will be ramping up again so I am wondering how to tackle that in a thoughtful way.
You can’t help but respect & admire Dr. Becky - for both her mission and her manner. An obviously classy woman with character too. More rare & precious than rubies.

thanks for telling us about the potatoes i cant eat em i get reflux really bad from them ive cut bread i use almond flour to do my pizza base and i use lactose free cheese thanks doctor becky it took me 3 yrs to find out sugar is a weight gainer slowly finding other things too ive cut rice pasta anything flour based white bread i dont want diabeties thanks and God bless xox
Dr. Becky excellent 5 points this is great for beginners as well as people like me where I got off track but thankfully now I am back on track! Thanks for the excellent content!!
Excellent video. Metabolic stall out is a pitfall I hit. Reduced carbs to trace in order to drop A1C. Completely stalled out on weight loss and felt terrible. Introduced some carbs again and started losing again. Strange but true.
At 1:42 where the rutabaga and potato are compared, the rutabaga wins with 8.6 g of carbohydrates vs 17.5 g for the potato. However the sugar content in the rutabaga is much higher at 4.5 g vs 0.8 g for the potato. I thought that the sugar level and carbohydrate lever would be directly related with each other.
I only lost 13 kg in 4 months, the first 10 kg in the first month. But I feel better, so that is why I continue with keto and IF. It is frustrating to not loose the weight faster, but it is better for the body really.
After going through several yo-yo diets (based on calorie deficit and low fats) over the years, as I've aged and slowly put on the pounds, I'd become 60 lbs overweight. I was also becoming pre-diabetic. About 2 and a half months ago, I did some research and discovered that the American Food Pyramid (based on high carbs) is total garbage and that calorie deficit diets don't work, for the reasons that you listed, mostly that they slow your metabolism, and when you stop the calorie deficit diets, your weight shoots back up. Then, it's even harder to drop the weight the next time. So, 2.5 months ago, I went low-carb, then Keto, with intermittent and multi-day fasting. This has been a total game-changer for me!!! So far, I've lost 40 pounds, on my way to losing a total of 60. I love keto-level carb intake (I shoot for < 20g each day, with absolutely no sugar or artificial sweeteners or starchy veggies (only good leafy greens, which I love, from the produce section). Luckily, I've been drinking unsweetened coffee and tea for years, and have never been much of a breakfast eater nor much of sweets eater), with an 18/6 daily eating schedule and periodic multi-day fasts (I'm currently about to end a 72-hr fast (black coffee, green tea, and water only). Fasting, coupled with a really low carb diet, has been utterly amazing for me. I'm surprised at how easy it is to do multi-day fasts. Even during the first 24 hours of a fast, I'm not very hungry, since my glucose level is already low (and ketones high) at the beginning of the fast; after, 24 hours, the ghrelin (sp ?) is so suppressed that I'm not hungry at all. I can even cook meals for my wife (foods that I can eat on my diet), yet there's virtually no temptation to take a bite. I loved your discussion on "Interested vs. Committed." I'm definitely committed, and the weight loss and healthier feelings have been phenomenal for me. This is not just a multi-month diet for me; it's a lifestyle change, and I couldn't be happier! I'm convinced that a low-carb diet needs to be the basis of a healthy lifestyle, on so many levels! High carb diets are killing too many Americans!
Great video and advice, thanks. I do great eating during the week, but then on the weekend it's like I've never seen sweets before lol. I overdo it and don't know how to stop
thank you dr beckey for your information. fresh cherries from my trees and fresh mandarin oranges from my brothers tree sweet little bites of sugar very hard to resist. triggered sugar craving
Hi Dr Becky, can you enlighten me please. I'm not overweight but have been on Keto for 6 months just to eat differently. I was a vegetarian for 20 years, only eating healthy natural foods. My biggest downfall was my homemade bread, only 1 piece for breakfast but I worked out the carbs. To my horror it was 29 per slice, my question - one of the bread recipes uses 260gms Vital Wheat Gluten with 240gms Almond flour. I only occasionally have 1 slice with my OMD. There seems to be conflicting views, so can you let me know your thoughts. Cheers Rosemary Perth Western Australia (70 yrs)
Thank you Dr.Becky.I am thinking of purchasing the 21 day keto challenge, please let me know how much can I loose. I am 72 years old and moderately active, (Pilates, golf and gardening) I can stand to loose 20 lbs but I will be happy if I loose 15.......
Thank you for your informative video - I was interested in the source you quoted to work out the carbs (was it called chronometer - not sure if spelled correctly) and where you can access.
Dr beckey, I enjoy your u tubes. Also wanted to add when most talk about low carbs, they speak of salads and inside I am going this is what the naysayers see and maybe turned off. What about showing a plate asparagus with Brussels sprouts and or kale or cabbage or greens with okra. I like to stir fry my okra in light olive oil. Green beans. I like the green spring mixed salad by the way. And etc. most naysayers think low carb or keto eaters eat only salad/lettuce. I named the vegetables I eat and like. There are mirrored more vegs to choose from. Just sayings. Smiles.
OK low carb or keto but can you speak more about the effects of keto on the gut microbiome plus the sleep issues that some experience when eating keto?
I’ve been doing the same thing for over a year on keto. I lost 40 lbs. the first 2 months nothing more for over a year every day I say is my is my last day on keto. Even though I lost weight I’ve become flabby.
I also lost 40 pounds in the first 2 months and nothing for the next 8 although I have little left to lose. Because I lost so fast is why I still have loose skin. Also, I lost muscle mass and am weaker than I was a year ago when I started keto. And although I initially was able to get off my 4 high BP meds I've had to return to using one of them. Overall though I'm happy with keto & will maintain the lifestyle.
Don't keep it in the house! Keep a healthy food you don't like instead. I keep sardines, if it is a nutritional and not an emotional event I will eat the sardines.
I know the feeling. Myself, I replaced instead of trying to ignore and then feel deprived because if it. My replacement was bacon, pickles and olives. I think it is the salty that is satisfying. What I wouldn’t do is any keto sweet treat. For me, they just intensify the craving and I end up eating so much of them. Good luck :-)
Danger Will Robinson Danger ⚡ thank you so much 🤪 just what I needed to hear! But Doc it's a homemade dessert 😃 I am so crazy but rebooting! Happy trails 😎
Can someone give me a straight answer, as to the proper Protein pwd. to use? The confusion drives me crazy. I do add liquid mct to my smoothies! Thanks
Powdered protein is very processed, absorbed quickly and can raise blood sugar/insulin more than you want. Learned this from Dr. Boz. If you want to use it anyway, maybe one with no sweeteners? If you are trying to raise protein, maybe use eggs? Hope this helps.
Please... I started keto 5 yrs ago. 1st day I went 100% and never looked back. 2 weeks in I lost my life long sweet tooth. The body wants what it burns for energy. Oooh! Fats,... yes please...!!!
I do not eat beef,pork, or lamb. I do eat poultry and seafood as well as nuts. I eat quinoa, which has carbs but is high in protein. I add flax seed to Greek yogurt and fruit. I eat lots of salads and generally have salmon or chicken with them. Instead of potatoes at supper I have two veggies. I have homemade soups. I substitute ground beef for ground turkey. This is how I keep my weight down since I’m unable to eat meat.
But it is more complex than even the Dr omits to, my mom is 91 loves sweets and has ate them her entire life. Has never had a weight problem, as a matter of fact never has weight more than 120 lbs except when she was pregnant, 5 times. Has no diabetes, she does have high cholesterol a little dementia, who doesn't at that age. She has a cousin that is 97 has smoked her entire life, and is in excellent shape. I'm not promoting doing this I'm just saying there is a lot about the human body we still don't understand !
High fat diets cannot be undertaken by people with medical conditions like pancreatic disease as fats are hard to digest and eating them causes painful pancreatic flare-ups, which can be life threatening. So, if you have this problem, eat as little fat as possible.
This great lady reminds me of a kind and sweet mother superior in a nunnery. Always reminding the virtues of staying close to God and the results of sinning. ✝️✝️✝️
@@Mrs.TJTaylor You can technically also find yellow-fleshed turnips which we grow here not the white fleshed type which are fed at winter time to sheep .
@@daviddjerassi You we’re very rude. Here we call them rutabagas and they are sold in grocery stores as rutabagas and they are distinguished from turnips.
I got over my sugar addiction once, but then I started eating sweet foods again. It takes a month to stop craving and I have to do it cold turkey or it doesn't work. I'm thinking I might have to stay off sweet food for the rest of my life. I hope I don't feel deprived and left out.
@@rebeccasmith8567 Hogs aren't filthy, that's a myth, they refuse to excrete anywhere near their living area. They wallow in mud to keep cool because they don't have sweat glands. Mud is good for your skin.
@@akhusal hogs are extremely filthy. They eat their poop, lie in it, wallow in it. They eat their young, carrion, any kind of filth they can. I have friends who raise animals & they feed their dead (raw) animals to the hogs which gobble them up. Hog meat will give a person parasites that cause all kind of problems. Hogs don't sweat so the poison goes into the meat. Also, my God says they are part of the "clean up crew," - like buzzards - and should not be eaten. You can have mine.
@@rebeccasmith8567 wow. Someone believes too much internet 'information'. I can't even imagine someone who cares for their livestock would throw dead animals to their pigs (how did their other animals die??). I guess if the poor things don't have enough to eat they'll eat anything - as do people - and most animals - in that situation. If you are basing your information on what you actually witnessed, sadly these 'farmers' care little for their livestock and have poor husbandry skills - and you're right, I'd never eat something from their 'farm' either - pigs, or otherwise. What you explained is quite disgusting and inhumane - not what most farmers do. Good farmers know taking care of their animals is the only way they will be successful.
@@rebeccasmith8567 But I bet you think chicken is clean 🤣 in all honesty chicken is dirtier than pork. Your God is wrong by the way but people will believe what they want.
I'm doing keto/low card with IF and I eat so much less but not intentionally. I am satisfied with a lot less food. I do eat until I'm satisfied. I've lost almost 30 pounds since mid March of this year. I love it!
I am 58 years old woman who has been on plateau for more than a year until I kept my carb very low at dinner time and kept everything else same . I did 80-120 air squat every day in the morning when I am fasting . I lost over 5 pounds mostly if not totally from my belly fat.
And Brits! We call them swedes too. Thanks for posting as I had never heard of a rutabega before and didn’t know it was the same thing. I can’t imagine anyone wanting Swede fries 😖
I’ve been on keto for about 6 years and I fluctuate five +/- pounds. I really appreciate this reminder Dr Becky. Your videos are great. I pray you, Dr Keith & your family are well. ❤️from Canada
I've been on keto for nearly a year, lost 40 pounds in the first 2 months and since have maintained my weight +/- maybe 3 pounds. I really couldn't lose more than 10 more pounds though.

To my horror it was 29 per slice, my question - one of the bread recipes uses 260gms Vital Wheat Gluten with 240gms Almond flour. I only occasionally have 1 slice with my OMD. There seems to be conflicting views, so can you let me know your thoughts. Cheers Rosemary Perth Western Australia (70 yrs)
Cronometer is the app my weight loss doctor recommended.
Thank you Dr.Becky.I am thinking of purchasing the 21 day keto challenge, please let me know how much can I loose. I am 72 years old and moderately active, (Pilates, golf and gardening) I can stand to loose 20 lbs but I will be happy if I loose 15.......
Amazing information 👍
Thanks Becky. David
Thanks
Thank you for your informative video - I was interested in the source you quoted to work out the carbs (was it called chronometer - not sure if spelled correctly) and where you can access.
Dr beckey, I enjoy your u tubes. Also wanted to add when most talk about low carbs, they speak of salads and inside I am going this is what the naysayers see and maybe turned off. What about showing a plate asparagus with Brussels sprouts and or kale or cabbage or greens with okra. I like to stir fry my okra in light olive oil. Green beans. I like the green spring mixed salad by the way. And etc. most naysayers think low carb or keto eaters eat only salad/lettuce. I named the vegetables I eat and like. There are mirrored more vegs to choose from. Just sayings. Smiles.
OK low carb or keto but can you speak more about the effects of keto on the gut microbiome plus the sleep issues that some experience when eating keto?
I’ve been doing the same thing for over a year on keto. I lost 40 lbs. the first 2 months nothing more for over a year every day I say is my is my last day on keto. Even though I lost weight I’ve become flabby.
I also lost 40 pounds in the first 2 months and nothing for the next 8 although I have little left to lose. Because I lost so fast is why I still have loose skin. Also, I lost muscle mass and am weaker than I was a year ago when I started keto. And although I initially was able to get off my 4 high BP meds I've had to return to using one of them. Overall though I'm happy with keto & will maintain the lifestyle.
Good advise thank you.
Trouble is . . . . (sotto) . . I really loathe avocados and have found no way to tolerate them.
Insightful video Dr. Becky. What are your thoughts on organic cauliflower rice as a carb subsitute?
Good choice
Great video!
Sooo true! I’m trying to kick my nightly Yogurt and keto granola habit! Feel like a drug addict! Help!
Don't keep it in the house! Keep a healthy food you don't like instead. I keep sardines, if it is a nutritional and not an emotional event I will eat the sardines.
I know the feeling. Myself, I replaced instead of trying to ignore and then feel deprived because if it. My replacement was bacon, pickles and olives. I think it is the salty that is satisfying. What I wouldn’t do is any keto sweet treat. For me, they just intensify the craving and I end up eating so much of them. Good luck :-)
Danger Will Robinson Danger ⚡ thank you so much 🤪 just what I needed to hear! But Doc it's a homemade dessert 😃 I am so crazy but rebooting! Happy trails 😎
one of your top 5 vids.
Love and peace 2022
Rutabaga is know in the UK as a swede.
what is the name of the app you rely on for your macros ?
I’d like the name of that Macro site too…sounds like Crinomitor or Krinomiter
I believe it’s ‘cronometer’.
Bless u & Thank u
Have soups with cooked beans with mushrooms and onions !
Or cabbage.
@@NdnUrbanCat yes
Thank you
thank you .
What about full cream non homogenised cow milk?
Can someone give me a straight answer, as to the proper Protein pwd. to use? The confusion drives me crazy. I do add liquid mct to my smoothies! Thanks
Powdered protein is very processed, absorbed quickly and can raise blood sugar/insulin more than you want. Learned this from Dr. Boz. If you want to use it anyway, maybe one with no sweeteners? If you are trying to raise protein, maybe use eggs? Hope this helps.
Could you please say the name of the nutritional app you showed. I could not understand what you said. It sounded like "triameters"?? thank you.
Cronometer
Swede
Please... I started keto 5 yrs ago. 1st day I went 100% and never looked back. 2 weeks in I lost my life long sweet tooth. The body wants what it burns for energy. Oooh! Fats,... yes please...!!!
Go Big Red! GBR!
I hate the taste of rutabaga. They stink while cooking and they taste like crap.
Misleading?? More like mis-READING
So what you are saying is that there is no such thing as a healthy cookie?!!?
That's a challenge for sure!
When you won’t eat animal flesh, how hard is it?
I imagine your diet would be fairly limited.
I do not eat beef,pork, or lamb. I do eat poultry and seafood as well as nuts. I eat quinoa, which has carbs but is high in protein. I add flax seed to Greek yogurt and fruit. I eat lots of salads and generally have salmon or chicken with them. Instead of potatoes at supper I have two veggies. I have homemade soups. I substitute ground beef for ground turkey. This is how I keep my weight down since I’m unable to eat meat.
But it is more complex than even the Dr omits to, my mom is 91 loves sweets and has ate them her entire life. Has never had a weight problem, as a matter of fact never has weight more than 120 lbs except when she was pregnant, 5 times. Has no diabetes, she does have high cholesterol a little dementia, who doesn't at that age. She has a cousin that is 97 has smoked her entire life, and is in excellent shape. I'm not promoting doing this I'm just saying there is a lot about the human body we still don't understand !
Your mom was never obese like most women. Also I bet she was active raising five kids. You have great genes!
4 ×21 =84
that looks like a turnip ?
Yep, Turnip or Swede.
High fat diets cannot be undertaken by people with medical conditions like pancreatic disease as fats are hard to digest and eating them causes painful pancreatic flare-ups, which can be life threatening. So, if you have this problem, eat as little fat as possible.
This great lady reminds me of a kind and sweet mother superior in a nunnery.
Always reminding the virtues of staying close to God and the results of sinning.

let me summarise:
„Fails that prevent weight loss“: eating.
ruta what? looks like a turnip
Can you not speak in English its a Turnip for lords sake.
Actually no, it’s a rutabaga.
@@Mrs.TJTaylor You can technically also find yellow-fleshed turnips which we grow here not the white fleshed type which are fed at winter time to sheep .
@@daviddjerassi You we’re very rude. Here we call them rutabagas and they are sold in grocery stores as rutabagas and they are distinguished from turnips.
@@Mrs.TJTaylor And here they are called Turnips rude woman.
@ Diane Taylor
😎 💯 😎
I got over my sugar addiction once, but then I started eating sweet foods again. It takes a month to stop craving and I have to do it cold turkey or it doesn't work. I'm thinking I might have to stay off sweet food for the rest of my life. I hope I don't feel deprived and left out.
Excellent video🌸
Commitment is like bacon and eggs. The chicken was involved. The pig was committed.
Hogs are filthy animals. Should NEVER eat.
@@rebeccasmith8567 Hogs aren't filthy, that's a myth, they refuse to excrete anywhere near their living area. They wallow in mud to keep cool because they don't have sweat glands. Mud is good for your skin.
@@akhusal hogs are extremely filthy. They eat their poop, lie in it, wallow in it. They eat their young, carrion, any kind of filth they can. I have friends who raise animals & they feed their dead (raw) animals to the hogs which gobble them up. Hog meat will give a person parasites that cause all kind of problems. Hogs don't sweat so the poison goes into the meat. Also, my God says they are part of the "clean up crew," - like buzzards - and should not be eaten. You can have mine.
@@rebeccasmith8567 wow. Someone believes too much internet 'information'. I can't even imagine someone who cares for their livestock would throw dead animals to their pigs (how did their other animals die??). I guess if the poor things don't have enough to eat they'll eat anything - as do people - and most animals - in that situation. If you are basing your information on what you actually witnessed, sadly these 'farmers' care little for their livestock and have poor husbandry skills - and you're right, I'd never eat something from their 'farm' either - pigs, or otherwise. What you explained is quite disgusting and inhumane - not what most farmers do. Good farmers know taking care of their animals is the only way they will be successful.
@@rebeccasmith8567 But I bet you think chicken is clean 🤣 in all honesty chicken is dirtier than pork. Your God is wrong by the way but people will believe what they want.
I'm doing keto/low card with IF and I eat so much less but not intentionally. I am satisfied with a lot less food. I do eat until I'm satisfied. I've lost almost 30 pounds since mid March of this year. I love it!
Just love listening to your voice and always great information straight to the point. Thanks for all you do and I hope hubby is doing ok
High quality content delivered in a very calm demeanor 👍 Thank you very much🙏🙏
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and encouragement! I really needed it!
Good reminder about trusting carb counts found online. It’s easy to fall into that trap.
Thanks Dr Becky! One of your best tips to transition to low carb lifestyle for me was: add before you subtract! Used this to deal with my sweet tooth.
I am 58 years old woman who has been on plateau for more than a year until I kept my carb very low at dinner time and kept everything else same . I did 80-120 air squat every day in the morning when I am fasting . I lost over 5 pounds mostly if not totally from my belly fat.
Its a Swede for Australians..
And Brits! We call them swedes too. Thanks for posting as I had never heard of a rutabega before and didn’t know it was the same thing. I can’t imagine anyone wanting Swede fries 😖
@@rebfj86 I like raw swede.. and love them in soups and stews.. but couldnt be bothered to have them as chips.. (ps,.. I had to google it..)
I’ve been on keto for about 6 years and I fluctuate five +/- pounds. I really appreciate this reminder Dr Becky. Your videos are great. I pray you, Dr Keith & your family are well. ❤️from Canada
I've been on keto for nearly a year, lost 40 pounds in the first 2 months and since have maintained my weight +/- maybe 3 pounds. I really couldn't lose more than 10 more pounds though.
