I first watched this video three months ago, at the beginning of yet another round of doing keto. How long would it last this time? I've been on and off keto so many times I felt like an expert in something I always failed to succeed with. But the words "don't stop before the magic happens" really stuck in my mind. I realized the problem was I was always giving up too soon. So I dug my heels in and now I've lost almost 40 pounds and the scale continues to go down every week as I get closer and closer to my goal. I have all the signs of fat adaptation. I'm 47 years old and having an easier time losing weight then I did when I was 24!
Being fat adapted feels so good and does give me freedom with food. The problem is that once I do indulge in anything made with chocolate I’m off and running again. Sugar and white flour are both terribly addictive! In any case, your videos give me the motivation to make the changes that will bring about better health (again). Low carb and fasting are the answer to a lifetime struggle with food addiction. Thank you Dr. Becky!
I have been keto since May 23 now, lost about 25kg and am now at 97kg at 1.80m, 13kg to go. I feel awesome! I did buy a Lindt 85% chocolate the other day. Before I would destroy it in seconds, now I had 4 pieces as a treat after dinner (doing IF with OMAD) and it tasted sooooo good, not bitter at all, and I really enjoyed it. But I don’t crave it anymore. As a treat great, but that’s it. Low carb/keto/carnivore and IF is so fundamentally liberating!
I do miss sugar, flour, rice (especially basmati) pasta and potatoes but no longer crave them. Weirdly, I don't miss chocolate which was my favorite sweet of all. My body is much happier for not having to metabolize these poisons anymore. Now foods organic monkfruit liquid is my savior. I use it for iced tea and to sweeten my plain greek yogurt.
Thank you for helping others see the light! I've been eating this way low carb for 8 years. And I can tell you every time I've went back to eating higher carb foods. My energy level and joints suffer. As soon as I go back to eating a low carb higher fat diet. My energy and overall health improves. I will eat this way for the rest of my life. Because it works for me!
I’m a hybrid! I run (literally…I RUN 🏃♀️) on both glucose & fat. Was strict keto for 1.5 years doing IF 20:4 OMAD following Dr Jason Fungs method. Was not overweight but was supporting hubs who was diagnosed with diabetes. He lost 60 pounds and reversed his diabetes! :) BUT…. I developed female hormonal issues. I went through a tough time in 2020 and had surgery for fibroids I never had before going Keto. Was having heavy periods for almost a full year Granted I was in my late 40s and lots was happening! Now at 53 I’ve added oatmeal & some fruit before my running & weights & eat low carb the rest of the day. I’ve reduced my fasting as well. Just my own experience but I do believe the low carb/keto is a terrific way to live. You & your hubs vids helped us tremendously!!!! Two Fit Docs! ❤️
Been doing keto for over 7 years now. Took about 2 weeks to become fat adapted. I use to feel sluggish in the morning and had to drag myself out of bed. Then one day (even to this day) when I wake up in the morning I am ready to pop out of bed. It’s a great feeling.
Been doing keto on & off over several years and it does work as you suggest. 2 lessons learned are 1. Alcohol destroys weight loss and brings back hunger pains, 2. Supplements of various types are essential to maintain the program
You're correct Dr Becky. It does take time to become fat-adapted. I'm nearly 69 yrs old and have been on low carb/high fat/med protein foods since end of January 2022. I've lost weight and inches and measure my progress by trying on smaller sized favorite clothes packed away in storage boxes. I did this because I want to stay out of the conventional medicine industry and pre-diabetes/diabetes 1&2 runs in both sides of my family. Your wonderful videos have been incredibly helpful for me to stay the course. Keep up the good work!
Diabetes does NOT run in families. It is what we put in our mouths. If people eat out of the chemically made foods from the store freezer, that's one of the places that sugar and carbs run rampant. Good luck on your lifestyle journey!
On keto I gave up sugar and most starches & grains. I gained mental clarity (less anxiety and better concentration), my skin improved, I reached my weight goal, my bloodwork is in healthy range for first time in years, I’m not hungry all the time, eating foods I enjoy, kicked the carb addiction. So worth it.
I happily accept the challenge Dr B! I am so glad that I have found your channel. You bring a calm, intellectual and professional demeanor in your videos. Really informative! regards from Indonesia 🇮🇩
I also like to make my own electrolyte drink with water, acv, pink Himalayan salt, a little cinnamon, a little fresh squeezed lemon juice and a little coconut water to sweeten it all. Put in a glass bottle and shake well and sip throughout the day. Very helpful! Lots of variations in "recipe" Even add sprinkle cayenne or fresh grated ginger. Good for gut health 👍
I will take this 30 day challenge! I follow several other women, but I always find your information to be informative and encouraging. Thank you for continuing to support those of us who want to continue learning and improving our health.
I’m a 73 yr old man. I have had very good luck on keto thanks to you and your husband, losing nearly 40 lbs. I swim laps, walk 3 miles, and do resistance training every day. I’m building muscle, but not seeing the fat going away. I eat bacon for breakfast, eggs with cheese for lunch and brats for dinner. I drink a lot of water and take a daily multi-vitamin. How do I know how much fat is too much? How much protein is too much? What signs do I look for?
Intermittent fasting is very helpful as in 16 hours fasting window and 8 hours eating window with two meals a day. No snacking. Also a longer fast of 36 or perhaps 48 hours works wonders, and autophagy really kicks off. Also, the 72 hours sardine challenge! Eat whenever, but only high quality sardines in a tin can, and sufficient amount of water.
70-80g of protein per day is likely sufficient, depending on your weight. Too much protein is unhealthy and also turns into carbs. Dr. Berg can explain more about that. Also, you may be drinking too much water. Urine should not be clear. That is a fallacy.
I've been eating this way most of my adult life starting with Atkins. I'm now 72 and every year feel better and healthier. So happy that you're spreading the information! I've been doing IF for the last four years and that too was a game changer!
@@firelight-vitality I'll continue to do If for the rest of my life for the health benefits. I'm 5'3", weigh 118 - 120, maintain a 2 acre garden alone. My life is good because I'm healthy. Carnivore and IF keep me that way and make my doctor happy too. So why wouldn't I do IF?
We’re on it, Dr. B. Been doing keto and IF for about six months now and feel great! We mainly do OMAD every day and then do a prolonged water fast of at least 3-5 days every month. I did a 10-day water fast in January and a 7-day in April. Sometimes we open the window a little to two hours or even four hours just for some variety and flexibility. Now I could not even imagine having a six or eight hour eating window, as that is way too much for me. The energy and mental clarity while living this lifestyle is amazing, and I don’t see ever going back to the old way when considering the health benefits and ease of this. Challenge accepted! For life! Thanks Dr. B!
when I first heard dr. becky was not only skeptical but completely rebelled against this whole Fat-based concept. That was 2019. Since then I am now part of the choir on this. Thanks for being faithful to push out this valuable information and insight.
I know that I am addicted to sugar. Challenge accepted! I have started IF and have worked my way up to 16/8. The next 30 days I will continue 16/8 and will eat lower carb, starting with 125g per day and will go down as low as I need to in order to become fat adapted. I’m nervous because I’ve done it before, and I know it’s not enjoyable at first. But I know I will lose weight effortlessly and my aches and pains will go away. I also love how you talk about opportunity cost. It’s real, and it makes it easier to make a good, rational decision. So thank you!
Seen alot of videos on Keto, by far this is the best. Getting fat adapted was the best thing I did. The energy, weight loss and mental clarity are the things I light best.
My wife and I have done this and it works. Both of us have lost 28 pounds each, but even better, we feel great and look great. The mental clarity is amazing. The cravings are gone and we’re not as hungry as before. We fast daily for 16 hours consistently. Great video. Great information. ❤
Excellent video. I am a competitive Ironman Triathlete who races at least 1x a month and unknown to me have a fatty liver with relatively high elevated AST and ALT liver enzymes 4 months ago. . How ? I lived on sports drinks and glucose packets for training and racing. I also lived on sports drinks all day long as my general drink of choice and perhaps a soda or sweet energy drink or two every day. Also ate a lot of "enriched breads" and pizza. I thought nothing of it, my waist didn't get any larger over the years so I figured I was ok. Little did I know, that fat was building up inside my abdomen as visceral fat. I started Keto and 14:10 fasting 4 months ago and religiously followed around 25 carbs for almost 2 months. The first 7 weeks were absolutely terrible. TERRIBLE. Especially still doing biking and run training daily while fasted. Headaches, aches, urinating constantly, muscle cramps all the time and a really high resting pulse rate. Finally I figured out to increase my sodium to around 4,000 mg (9.5g of Himalyan salt) (Florida is hot) , take a potassium supplement and eat an avocado (I really dislike them) every day. Around 7 weeks, my resting pulse and my exercise pulse got back to more normal. At 8 weeks I started moving into eating around 75g to 100g of carbs depending on training schedule. At 3 months I can bike training ride 3+ hours or run 1+ hours (in Zone 3 heart rate zone) while I have been fasted for at least 13 hours. I almost gave up after 7 weeks - As Dr. GIllaspy said, electrolyte replenishment is key. I have used LMNT for a couple of months now. It has been my goto I carry on my bike. KIndof expensive so I buy the ingredients in bulk containers and make my own version with the same electrolyte content. BTW, I cut my Liver Enzyme levels to 1/3 of that in March. My message to readers, dangerous fatty liver can happen to anyone. It is a silent killer. Still perplexes me. Both my Dr. and I were shocked and surprised at the high liver readings in March.
I have been doing low card and IF for 43 days and have lost 15 lbs. i am 5 lbs from my goal weight. How do you continue to eat like this and not continue to lose weight? I need a video on maintenance. Thank you for all your videos. I have lost weight many times and gain in back over time. The first week was really hard but after that not as hard as a low calorie diet. Many thanks.
Hi Dr Becky As I have posted before I am a great believer in your methode for weight loss. The thing that I find is that my weight varies from summer to winter. It is a lot easier to lose weight over summer, not so easy over winter. My metobolic body function demands more food so I tend not to adhere to more strict guide lines over the winter period. This year down here in NZ I find during the winter months when my metabolisim demands more fuel my weight goes up about 2 kg (about 5 lbs) but since following your system I am not worried as I am confident that I can control that minor gain as I come into spring weather. Most animals that we are part of the species do the same. We store energy during the colder seasons to get us though this period. I am sure that the extra weight that I have put on during this period will not stay once the spring/summer season begins. Thanks for your encouragement with your system. Cheers Warwick Smith
Dr Becky, You are the best. Both your knowledge and your gracious presentation give people like me who have struggled most of my life with carb addiction the support and motivation needed to succeed in ending the yo yo madness of fighting obesity. God Bless you and your husband!
I'm going on 2 years since I went on Keto. Naturally, I started intermittent fasting on the 2nd day and stick with an 18:6 schedule. Sometimes, it's 20:4 or one meal a day. My wife sees my physical changes but she can't get over the lack of food I eat. I used to chow down 6 or 7 small meals a day. I tell her I just eat when I'm hungry and sometimes it might be just one meal in a day. I am fat adapted but it's not something like I know it. I don't feel any different, it's just that I want more non-carb foods than carb foods. Like when I started on keto, I was concerned about walking away from bread. I'm German-Italian, so it's part of my DNA to eat bread with every meal. Today, no cravings from bread. I can even smell a slice of bread or walk by a bakery and not even catch my attention. Oh yeah, Chinese. It used to be the moment I smelled Chinese food, I was hungry. It didn't matter if I just ate. Now, it smells good, but I'm not hungry. The weird thing is, I used to crave a late night snack, so I ate popcorn or ice cream right before bed. If I do that today, it's a knife spread of butter. Butter. Or a spoonful of peanut butter.
Chinese food must have a powerful aroma. When I was pregnant, it became a trigger for morning sickness. To this day, I'm not right with it. lol. Thanks for your comment, Patrick!
I am eating a stretched out two hour OMAD at the moment which is something like poached eggs on leftover vegetables and toasted sourdough with whole milk unpasteurised BRIE. Can’t quite get to KETO ! Do you have time to give me an idea of your one meal recipes? I was told by a nutritionist many years ago that peanut butter is not good but almond, cashew, hazelnut etc are fine. But great idea for a snack, how about with celery? Yuk1. Namaste 🙏
I totally relate to your comment. A spoon of 1/2 peanut butter, 1/2 butter is a wonderful treat. When I was not eating Keto one of my favorite snacks was a peanut butter/butter sandwich. Subtracting the bread was a simple way to still enjoy a favorite snack except now it's just the one spoonful and not the amount needed to fill a sandwich.
Thanks for the solid encouragement. I used to watch you and your husband back in 2019 when I first discovered keto and IF. I’ve gained some weight and lost my motivation during C-time. Now, I’m back trying again. I’ve already clocked in more than a month of low carb and IF from 13-48 hours. I’ve felt some relief but a few holiday interruptions may have steered me off course. I’m curious how many carbs I can tolerate bc I’m surely not as strict as I was in 2019. I’m trying more vegetarian foods, which although avoiding wheat flour and rice tend to add carbs in beans and occasionally potatoes. I’m hoping the fasting will tamper the effects of the carbs. Here’s to all those who work to stay well in the body we’ve been given!
This was great. I'm in for the 30 day challenge. I was keto a year ago, and felt wonderful. Then life just happened...but I've been desperate to get back to it again, at least low carb. Hoping that may be my happy-medium. I just wish there was local support like when I did weight watchers. This way you can find suggestions when you plateau or go to BBQs, etc. Thank you again!
I just simply cut all root carb vegetables in half , half potato not whole potato. Half a carrot not a whole carrot. And ate more green vegetables that grow above ground . Along with more meat and protein.
electrolytes help me fast (I like Ultima replenisher). and I also find that celery juice (from powder, not strained fresh, from Simply Celery) helps me not feel hungry and cuts sugar cravings.
It's "as simple as that," and it's CRAZY good! The idea finally got through to me mostly from watching Ford Brewer and Sten Eckbert videos. I tried OMAD of a meat (typically chicken thighs or ribeye steak) plus a fairly large quantity of green, non-starchy frozen vegetables -- and that's IT (plus some appropriate supplements). It almost IMMEDIATELY became ABSURDLY EASY to continue with! I started this about 5 weeks ago, and the fat has been melting off me at a rate that astonishes me. I did do a 3 day fast as well. I feel I could fast anytime I want. I'm simply NOT hungry in the least. The keys: the intermittency (which gives TIME for the fat burning), and the low, low carbs -- which encourages the metabolic process.
I've been carnivore since January 1st. I was in nutritional ketosis daily (,5 or above ketones). I lost 50 lbs of body fat according to my scale. However, I started chemo and the dexmethazone was spiking my glucose and I can't get back into ketosis. I told the doctor I had no nausea or vomiting and so I stopped the pills after #4. My glucose is still under 100 and I think I am seeing some new weight-loss. I think glucose is the cause of chemo side effects!
Thank you so much, your not only beautiful your also a game changes, I'm a little old man living in the UK and following a accident that put me in a wheelchair for a year I put on a lot of weight that I struggled to shed, but after seeing your channel not only have I started shedding the horrible fat, I actually feel better within myself, I enjoy my exercise more and have a lot more energy, thank you again , you don't know how you have changed my life for the better.
Glad you're back! I've had a great start, been in Ketosis for nearly two weeks. Moving in on 10 pounds lost, and feeling much more energetic. Your videos have helped spur me on!
Started the carnivore diet and I did go through a transitional period. My diet before was mostly carbs. I am now starting to see the benefits of low carbs. I feel better. What actually works for me is to go 3 days high protein low carb and then on day 4, I get to splurge and it's all the carbs I want then I either partially or entirely fast on day 5 then back to the routine. Don't plan to ever go back to a high-carb diet.
I’ve been really enjoying your most helpful and informative channel since I found you at just the right time. As of January 2, I started back up on my low carb diet (now keto). I just wanted to thank you for your very informative and motivating channel. I’ve been feeling so much better now and I just placed my first order with LMNT! Thank you so much!! 😊
I've done it now for 4 weeks. I've lost 1st 2lbs ❤. And I feel great. First week, felt a bit tired, but it because I went too low too quick. Got it sorted now ❤. It really does work x
Hello, doing a mix between keto and low carb. Carbs only after jogging ore cycling to fill up and regenerate better. Intermitted fasting (only one meal at the weekend) is normal for me. You save a lot of time and money if you do not eat so often 🙂. It is very comfortable , too - not looking for food every 4 hours. But I do not forget to enjoy live (pizza,beer and so on) after having this (once a week) i train more. Also drinking abel cidre vinager with water works for me. Sorry for my bad english. Greetings from Germany
I commit to your challenge, Dr. Becky. The fasting part has been a great habit for me. I have trained myself to go for 16-26 hours of IF. 3-4/ times each week. However, I believe I need the electrolytes. I drink between 5-7 bottles of water daily. Thanks for the excellent, encouraging, and insightful video. I appreciate the discount too!
I must say, I bought a box of LMNT variety pack and was shocked at how refreshing and delicious they were! I just got my 2nd box and added the chocolate medely. I just finished a hot chocolate raspberry and it too was delicious. I was only drinking water and missed my beverages. This was a happy surprise and will make my diet better.
I've committed to 7 days of carnivore to reset from 'keto grief eating' (lost my mom). Haven't eaten SAD foods, just too much keto food. I will commit here to the other 23 days. This is gonna be very helpful. Thanks DocB! 💜
I've been doing ADF for 4 months most are 40 to 42 hours. I also throw some 48 hour fasts and did one 7 day fast. I decided to do keto about 4 weeks ago. I'm finding if a kick myself out of ketosis or drop to under .5 after a meal, I'm back in ketosis in a few hours. Does this mean I'm on the right track to fat adapted?
I stumbled on this video and was mostly listening but I glanced up and saw your Husker rug and then of course your Husker shirt in the 5K photo. You now have a new subscription from a fellow Nebraskan.
You are so balanced. I follow others on FB and their lifestyles are so complicated that people chastise themselves for an off day. I feel like it’s robbing them of the joy of food and life. We aren’t slaves and we don’t have to be poking our fingers to prove it. The “early wo/man” that we are trying to emulate certainly didn’t poke her/his fingers! Thanks for being a wise voice of reason as you teach and challenge us. 🌻Laura
I am folowing all these keto Doctors on youtube they are my mentors on low carb. I am back to swimming, eat two times a day a ketogênic style. Lost 10 quilograms. Joint pains and fibromylagia lessen out. A big thanks From Brasil.
I’m late , but I’m accepting the challenge. Only 10 pounds overweight, but most of it is around my middle. Never had a problem with compulsive eating until menopause but after 3 days low carb I have not problem controlling my eating 😄
Absolutely wonderful video! I 100 percent agree. My hubby and I are doing keto and will be starting carnivore next week. And yes, we will be drinking coffee too! 😂 we are really enjoying your channel.
Helpful! I have had to stop dairy (not sure yet if I can handle dairy in the future) and stop gluten (which seems permanent) recently, and as I am gradually trying to get my gut to a better state, I find I am tired, and sometimes I do have headaches. This reminds me to be patient. Slowly, things are getting better.
Thank you so much for all your great videos! I really appreciate your approach. I have been intermittent fasting since February and have lost over 40 pounds so far. I love this new lifestyle and plan to do it for the rest of my life. At 70 I am starting late in life but I am glad I am “helping” my body by doing this.
I was always told to lose fat you have to stop eating fat. Little good did that do me 😒 This makes a lot of sense. I'm going to give it a go. Thanks Dr. Becky 😊👍🏿
You have a soft calm voice with a mild accent its lovely to listen to. You should start a meditation channel your voice is perfect for that. I used to listen to Jessica Heslop on UA-cam.
I started at 5 to 6 grams of carbs per day then settled on anything less than 20g. You want some serious weight loss? Drop thos carbs to 5 like i did. I never went hungry and ate tons of food but lost 50 pounds in 5 months. 207lbs to 157 lbs. Its crazy considering how much steak eggs and butter i ate but without high insulin you will not store fat. There was definite fine tuning of electrolytes during the keto flu phase but mostly it is adding salt or taking a magnesium/potassium supplement while you transition. I feel FANTASTIC nowadays
@@KM-vf4oi i did once i hit goal weight. I am less strict now that i am healthy, my body can handle a little carbs. I just know that they will cause a blood sugar dive and i may have cravings later. I ignore the cravings or answer them with a 0 carb high fat snack if they are too strong. Mostly i only eat at noon and five so carbs at any meal will be taken care of during my fast.
The cheap way to get your electrolytes is use Himalayan pink salt with water. It doesn't taste that good but it's alot cheaper. Just 2cup of warm water with 1/2or 1 tsp in the morning.
Hello …Thankyou.. love your videos. I am 74..I have been on Carnivore for exactly 2 months. Strangely…I have not lost any weight…or inches🤷♀️. But I certainly do Feel better…less inflammation…sleeping better. But…Also would like to lose 5-6 pounds…off my tummy!! But do not see it happening… I just bought a full body vibration machine..hope it helps
Thank you very much for your explanation. I was wondering while maintaing low carb high fat diet should i maintain a minimum calory intake ? If so how much calory minimum calory i should intake ? Or should i go for minimum calory intake like 400 calory a day ?
My insulin levels are highest in the mornings; they go up slightly over 100. The rest of the day I do fine. Is it better to intermittent fast during the morning hours or in the evenings? I usually skip breakfast and I've seen weight loss results but want to make sure this is the best way for healthy weight loss.
I've been omad carnivore, now ketovore (a big salad as my meal) for over 7 months. I feel like I've been stalled for a couple. How do I break this plateau and lose weight again? And will the flavored electrolytes break my fast? Ty!
@@kellyrhoads1067 not really counting, but aware, but I eat once. I figure if I ate 2-3 times a day I'd really have to be careful, but I'm pretty careful now.
Dr. Becky, I tried this way of eating a couple years ago and it seemed I ended up accidentally cutting out a lot of fiber and I developed terrible heart burn and reflux. It seemed the fattier food made the symptoms worse! What can I do? It got to the point that I was throwing up everything I ate. I’d like to eat this way because it did make me feel better except for the terrible stomach issues.
Thank you very much for your great video. My question is what is the acidity of element electrolyte drink I’m asking that as a dentist because we see huge influence of carbonized drinks including water on teeth enamel Thank you
I’m a small eater. I think I’m already eating around 50g or even less without having to worry about the number. I take 1 tablespoon mct oil, and a 1/2 teaspoon plant oil (cold pressed olive oil) in my stirfry. 1 or 2 meals/day. Will I be fat adapted?
I've seen LMNT products before and I've stayed away due to 1,000 grams of sodium per packet. I'm not out running or even doing strenuous exercise, do you think that's a heathy amount when replenishing sodium when fasting?
Since insulin cause to store energy as fat. What do we do with diabetic medication that triggers our bodies to produce more insulin. Isn’t that counter the keto diet ???
I am just now trying low carb high fat. I don't know how to actually measure the carbs I am taking in each day. Can you suggest something for a 72 year old beginner that will do the job but is not too difficult to get the hang of?
Great information and made me want to know what is an ideal insulin level since I have a blood glucose monitor and can monitor my insulin spikes based on food intake, especially carbs and second, how long should these low insulin periods last for fat adaptation? The obvious answer seems longer than shorter, but, how many days in a row before adaptation takes place?
How long must I wait? I keep my carbs below 20, and eat High fat and moderate protein diet. I've done that for 10 weeks now (barring illness for a weak and eating more carbs up to 50 fault) but I still feel so lethargic. I can do all my tasks, but just slower. I hate it. I want my old energy back. I guess I'm just not fat adapted yet?
Thank you so much for all your videos! I have a problem that I can't seem to find a solution for when I low carb I become very short of breath... It's not to do with my electrolytes as I supplement sea salt magnesium and potassium.. it is according to all the research I've done a pretty common problem for some low carbs and they describe it as air hunger and that is exactly what I have.. when I go off low carb it corrects itself... I am at my wit's end because I love low carbing but I can't live like this anymore... Any thoughts or suggestions? I went to the emergency room one day and they couldn't find anything wrong... I will even wake up at night because it's so uncomfortable...
What's wrong with butter, lard, ghee, tallow, coconut, duck or goose fat? What's wrong with lamb, beef, pork, bacon, chicken, turkey and duck? Where did you get your diet from?
Doctor. Thanks for help us , God bless u. I am leaning , me 56 growing Spiritually but I used to be in good shape and then igaining weight and I was really tired of diets and running. and now I found you thank you so much
I first watched this video three months ago, at the beginning of yet another round of doing keto. How long would it last this time? I've been on and off keto so many times I felt like an expert in something I always failed to succeed with. But the words "don't stop before the magic happens" really stuck in my mind. I realized the problem was I was always giving up too soon. So I dug my heels in and now I've lost almost 40 pounds and the scale continues to go down every week as I get closer and closer to my goal. I have all the signs of fat adaptation. I'm 47 years old and having an easier time losing weight then I did when I was 24!
That's wonderful, Barbra! Congratulations!
Being fat adapted feels so good and does give me freedom with food. The problem is that once I do indulge in anything made with chocolate I’m off and running again. Sugar and white flour are both terribly addictive! In any case, your videos give me the motivation to make the changes that will bring about better health (again). Low carb and fasting are the answer to a lifetime struggle with food addiction. Thank you Dr. Becky!
I have been keto since May 23 now, lost about 25kg and am now at 97kg at 1.80m, 13kg to go. I feel awesome!
I did buy a Lindt 85% chocolate the other day. Before I would destroy it in seconds, now I had 4 pieces as a treat after dinner (doing IF with OMAD) and it tasted sooooo good, not bitter at all, and I really enjoyed it. But I don’t crave it anymore. As a treat great, but that’s it.
Low carb/keto/carnivore and IF is so fundamentally liberating!
I do miss sugar, flour, rice (especially basmati) pasta and potatoes but no longer crave them. Weirdly, I don't miss chocolate which was my favorite sweet of all. My body is much happier for not having to metabolize these poisons anymore. Now foods organic monkfruit liquid is my savior. I use it for iced tea and to sweeten my plain greek yogurt.
Thank you for helping others see the light! I've been eating this way low carb for 8 years. And I can tell you every time I've went back to eating higher carb foods. My energy level and joints suffer. As soon as I go back to eating a low carb higher fat diet. My energy and overall health improves. I will eat this way for the rest of my life. Because it works for me!
I never realized the less carbs and weight loss would help my knees so much. When I add more carbs for a few days I feel it overall.
I’m a hybrid! I run (literally…I RUN 🏃♀️) on both glucose & fat. Was strict keto for 1.5 years doing IF 20:4 OMAD following Dr Jason Fungs method. Was not overweight but was supporting hubs who was diagnosed with diabetes. He lost 60 pounds and reversed his diabetes! :) BUT…. I developed female hormonal issues. I went through a tough time in 2020 and had surgery for fibroids I never had before going Keto. Was having heavy periods for almost a full year Granted I was in my late 40s and lots was happening! Now at 53 I’ve added oatmeal & some fruit before my running & weights & eat low carb the rest of the day. I’ve reduced my fasting as well. Just my own experience but I do believe the low carb/keto is a terrific way to live. You & your hubs vids helped us tremendously!!!! Two Fit Docs! ❤️
Been doing keto for over 7 years now. Took about 2 weeks to become fat adapted. I use to feel sluggish in the morning and had to drag myself out of bed. Then one day (even to this day) when I wake up in the morning I am ready to pop out of bed. It’s a great feeling.
My husband and I often comment about the fact that we no longer need an alarm clock to get out of bed. Before low-carb/keto, we used one daily.
i just recently started waking up before my alarm- amazing!!!
Agree
You keto weirdos are funny.
@@JurassicF4rtwhat’s funny? What’s weird?
Been doing keto on & off over several years and it does work as you suggest. 2 lessons learned are 1. Alcohol destroys weight loss and brings back hunger pains, 2. Supplements of various types are essential to maintain the program
Wow! The tone of her voice is so relaxing....when this lady speaks, you just wanna listen! 😊
You're correct Dr Becky. It does take time to become fat-adapted. I'm nearly 69 yrs old and have been on low carb/high fat/med protein foods since end of January 2022. I've lost weight and inches and measure my progress by trying on smaller sized favorite clothes packed away in storage boxes. I did this because I want to stay out of the conventional medicine industry and pre-diabetes/diabetes 1&2 runs in both sides of my family. Your wonderful videos have been incredibly helpful for me to stay the course. Keep up the good work!
How long did it take you? I'm 10 weeks in, and still feel so lethargic 😢
Diabetes does NOT run in families. It is what we put in our mouths. If people eat out of the chemically made foods from the store freezer, that's one of the places that sugar and carbs run rampant.
Good luck on your lifestyle journey!
I started 3 months ago and I am 30 ponds down and I love it 😁
On keto I gave up sugar and most starches & grains. I gained mental clarity (less anxiety and better concentration), my skin improved, I reached my weight goal, my bloodwork is in healthy range for first time in years, I’m not hungry all the time, eating foods I enjoy, kicked the carb addiction. So worth it.
I happily accept the challenge Dr B! I am so glad that I have found your channel. You bring a calm, intellectual and professional demeanor in your videos. Really informative! regards from Indonesia 🇮🇩
I also like to make my own electrolyte drink with water, acv, pink Himalayan salt, a little cinnamon, a little fresh squeezed lemon juice and a little coconut water to sweeten it all. Put in a glass bottle and shake well and sip throughout the day. Very helpful! Lots of variations in "recipe" Even add sprinkle cayenne or fresh grated ginger. Good for gut health 👍
Recipe?
@@gwenhutson the comment IS the recipe.
I will take this 30 day challenge! I follow several other women, but I always find your information to be informative and encouraging. Thank you for continuing to support those of us who want to continue learning and improving our health.
I’m a 73 yr old man. I have had very good luck on keto thanks to you and your husband, losing nearly 40 lbs. I swim laps, walk 3 miles, and do resistance training every day. I’m building muscle, but not seeing the fat going away. I eat bacon for breakfast, eggs with cheese for lunch and brats for dinner. I drink a lot of water and take a daily multi-vitamin. How do I know how much fat is too much? How much protein is too much? What signs do I look for?
I would add in intermittent fasting, perhaps 2 meals per day only (or just1 meal some days)
Intermittent fasting is very helpful as in 16 hours fasting window and 8 hours eating window with two meals a day. No snacking.
Also a longer fast of 36 or perhaps 48 hours works wonders, and autophagy really kicks off.
Also, the 72 hours sardine challenge! Eat whenever, but only high quality sardines in a tin can, and sufficient amount of water.
Are brats all natural?
70-80g of protein per day is likely sufficient, depending on your weight. Too much protein is unhealthy and also turns into carbs. Dr. Berg can explain more about that. Also, you may be drinking too much water. Urine should not be clear. That is a fallacy.
I've been eating this way most of my adult life starting with Atkins. I'm now 72 and every year feel better and healthier. So happy that you're spreading the information! I've been doing IF for the last four years and that too was a game changer!
If low carb worked so well, then why did you have to do IF too?
@@firelight-vitality I'll continue to do If for the rest of my life for the health benefits. I'm 5'3", weigh 118 - 120, maintain a 2 acre garden alone. My life is good because I'm healthy. Carnivore and IF keep me that way and make my doctor happy too. So why wouldn't I do IF?
We’re on it, Dr. B. Been doing keto and IF for about six months now and feel great! We mainly do OMAD every day and then do a prolonged water fast of at least 3-5 days every month. I did a 10-day water fast in January and a 7-day in April. Sometimes we open the window a little to two hours or even four hours just for some variety and flexibility. Now I could not even imagine having a six or eight hour eating window, as that is way too much for me. The energy and mental clarity while living this lifestyle is amazing, and I don’t see ever going back to the old way when considering the health benefits and ease of this. Challenge accepted! For life! Thanks Dr. B!
Routine. Structure. 5 days no, 2 days yes. Exercise vigorously in the fasting state. Done and done.
Ive been doing this after watching your vlogs for 6 months now. Ive lost 56lb and feel the best ive ever felt. Thank you for the vlogs!
That's great to hear, Debbie! Congrats!
when I first heard dr. becky was not only skeptical but completely rebelled against this whole Fat-based concept. That was 2019. Since then I am now part of the choir on this. Thanks for being faithful to push out this valuable information and insight.
I know that I am addicted to sugar. Challenge accepted! I have started IF and have worked my way up to 16/8. The next 30 days I will continue 16/8 and will eat lower carb, starting with 125g per day and will go down as low as I need to in order to become fat adapted.
I’m nervous because I’ve done it before, and I know it’s not enjoyable at first. But I know I will lose weight effortlessly and my aches and pains will go away. I also love how you talk about opportunity cost. It’s real, and it makes it easier to make a good, rational decision. So thank you!
Seen alot of videos on Keto, by far this is the best. Getting fat adapted was the best thing I did. The energy, weight loss and mental clarity are the things I light best.
My wife and I have done this and it works. Both of us have lost 28 pounds each, but even better, we feel great and look great. The mental clarity is amazing. The cravings are gone and we’re not as hungry as before. We fast daily for 16 hours consistently. Great video. Great information. ❤
I accept the challenge! Thank you for the idea of adding a bit of LMNT to seltzer water. I’m going to try that next.
Excellent video. I am a competitive Ironman Triathlete who races at least 1x a month and unknown to me have a fatty liver with relatively high elevated AST and ALT liver enzymes 4 months ago. . How ? I lived on sports drinks and glucose packets for training and racing. I also lived on sports drinks all day long as my general drink of choice and perhaps a soda or sweet energy drink or two every day. Also ate a lot of "enriched breads" and pizza. I thought nothing of it, my waist didn't get any larger over the years so I figured I was ok. Little did I know, that fat was building up inside my abdomen as visceral fat. I started Keto and 14:10 fasting 4 months ago and religiously followed around 25 carbs for almost 2 months. The first 7 weeks were absolutely terrible. TERRIBLE. Especially still doing biking and run training daily while fasted. Headaches, aches, urinating constantly, muscle cramps all the time and a really high resting pulse rate. Finally I figured out to increase my sodium to around 4,000 mg (9.5g of Himalyan salt) (Florida is hot) , take a potassium supplement and eat an avocado (I really dislike them) every day. Around 7 weeks, my resting pulse and my exercise pulse got back to more normal. At 8 weeks I started moving into eating around 75g to 100g of carbs depending on training schedule. At 3 months I can bike training ride 3+ hours or run 1+ hours (in Zone 3 heart rate zone) while I have been fasted for at least 13 hours. I almost gave up after 7 weeks - As Dr. GIllaspy said, electrolyte replenishment is key. I have used LMNT for a couple of months now. It has been my goto I carry on my bike. KIndof expensive so I buy the ingredients in bulk containers and make my own version with the same electrolyte content. BTW, I cut my Liver Enzyme levels to 1/3 of that in March. My message to readers, dangerous fatty liver can happen to anyone. It is a silent killer. Still perplexes me. Both my Dr. and I were shocked and surprised at the high liver readings in March.
I’m already on day 3. I’m just watching for encouragement. I’ve done this before and fell off the wagon. I’m determined to stay on this time.
Great to hear that you're on day 3, Tiny Metal Trees!
I have been doing low card and IF for 43 days and have lost 15 lbs. i am 5 lbs from my goal weight. How do you continue to eat like this and not continue to lose weight? I need a video on maintenance. Thank you for all your videos. I have lost weight many times and gain in back over time. The first week was really hard but after that not as hard as a low calorie diet. Many thanks.
Hi Dr Becky
As I have posted before I am a great believer in your methode for weight loss. The thing that I find is that my weight varies from summer to winter. It is a lot easier to lose weight over summer, not so easy over winter. My metobolic body function demands more food so I tend not to adhere to more strict guide lines over the winter period. This year down here in NZ I find during the winter months when my metabolisim demands more fuel my weight goes up about 2 kg (about 5 lbs) but since following your system I am not worried as I am confident that I can control that minor gain as I come into spring weather. Most animals that we are part of the species do the same. We store energy during the colder seasons to get us though this period. I am sure that the extra weight that I have put on during this period will not stay once the spring/summer season begins. Thanks for your encouragement with your system.
Cheers
Warwick Smith
Dr Becky, You are the best. Both your knowledge and your gracious presentation give people like me who have struggled most of my life with carb addiction the support and motivation needed to succeed in ending the yo yo madness of fighting obesity. God Bless you and your husband!
Thank you!
I'm going on 2 years since I went on Keto. Naturally, I started intermittent fasting on the 2nd day and stick with an 18:6 schedule. Sometimes, it's 20:4 or one meal a day. My wife sees my physical changes but she can't get over the lack of food I eat. I used to chow down 6 or 7 small meals a day. I tell her I just eat when I'm hungry and sometimes it might be just one meal in a day. I am fat adapted but it's not something like I know it. I don't feel any different, it's just that I want more non-carb foods than carb foods. Like when I started on keto, I was concerned about walking away from bread. I'm German-Italian, so it's part of my DNA to eat bread with every meal. Today, no cravings from bread. I can even smell a slice of bread or walk by a bakery and not even catch my attention. Oh yeah, Chinese. It used to be the moment I smelled Chinese food, I was hungry. It didn't matter if I just ate. Now, it smells good, but I'm not hungry. The weird thing is, I used to crave a late night snack, so I ate popcorn or ice cream right before bed. If I do that today, it's a knife spread of butter. Butter. Or a spoonful of peanut butter.
Chinese food must have a powerful aroma. When I was pregnant, it became a trigger for morning sickness. To this day, I'm not right with it. lol. Thanks for your comment, Patrick!
I am eating a stretched out two hour OMAD at the moment which is something like poached eggs on leftover vegetables and toasted sourdough with whole milk unpasteurised BRIE. Can’t quite get to KETO ! Do you have time to give me an idea of your one meal recipes? I was told by a nutritionist many years ago that peanut butter is not good but almond, cashew, hazelnut etc are fine. But great idea for a snack, how about with celery? Yuk1. Namaste 🙏
That is really cool, Patrick!
I totally relate to your comment. A spoon of 1/2 peanut butter, 1/2 butter is a wonderful treat. When I was not eating Keto one of my favorite snacks was a peanut butter/butter sandwich. Subtracting the bread was a simple way to still enjoy a favorite snack except now it's just the one spoonful and not the amount needed to fill a sandwich.
Thanks for the solid encouragement. I used to watch you and your husband back in 2019 when I first discovered keto and IF. I’ve gained some weight and lost my motivation during C-time.
Now, I’m back trying again. I’ve already clocked in more than a month of low carb and IF from 13-48 hours. I’ve felt some relief but a few holiday interruptions may have steered me off course.
I’m curious how many carbs I can tolerate bc I’m surely not as strict as I was in 2019. I’m trying more vegetarian foods, which although avoiding wheat flour and rice tend to add carbs in beans and occasionally potatoes.
I’m hoping the fasting will tamper the effects of the carbs.
Here’s to all those who work to stay well in the body we’ve been given!
I love your style of teaching. Thank you for this subject.
This was great. I'm in for the 30 day challenge. I was keto a year ago, and felt wonderful. Then life just happened...but I've been desperate to get back to it again, at least low carb. Hoping that may be my happy-medium. I just wish there was local support like when I did weight watchers. This way you can find suggestions when you plateau or go to BBQs, etc. Thank you again!
Hi what a pretty picture you've on your profile! Just decided to stop by and say Hi!! I hope my compliment is appreciated ❤
i think this is a great community for us all to get our questions answered
Thank you
I’ve watched up to 100 videos about fasting over the last month. You by far explained it the best Ive heard so far.
Thank you, Lane!
I just simply cut all root carb vegetables in half , half potato not whole potato. Half a carrot not a whole carrot. And ate more green vegetables that grow above ground . Along with more meat and protein.
electrolytes help me fast (I like Ultima replenisher). and I also find that celery juice (from powder, not strained fresh, from Simply Celery) helps me not feel hungry and cuts sugar cravings.
It's "as simple as that," and it's CRAZY good! The idea finally got through to me mostly from watching Ford Brewer and Sten Eckbert videos. I tried OMAD of a meat (typically chicken thighs or ribeye steak) plus a fairly large quantity of green, non-starchy frozen vegetables -- and that's IT (plus some appropriate supplements). It almost IMMEDIATELY became ABSURDLY EASY to continue with! I started this about 5 weeks ago, and the fat has been melting off me at a rate that astonishes me. I did do a 3 day fast as well. I feel I could fast anytime I want. I'm simply NOT hungry in the least. The keys: the intermittency (which gives TIME for the fat burning), and the low, low carbs -- which encourages the metabolic process.
I've been carnivore since January 1st. I was in nutritional ketosis daily (,5 or above ketones). I lost 50 lbs of body fat according to my scale. However, I started chemo and the dexmethazone was spiking my glucose and I can't get back into ketosis. I told the doctor I had no nausea or vomiting and so I stopped the pills after #4. My glucose is still under 100 and I think I am seeing some new weight-loss. I think glucose is the cause of chemo side effects!
Thank you so much, your not only beautiful your also a game changes, I'm a little old man living in the UK and following a accident that put me in a wheelchair for a year I put on a lot of weight that I struggled to shed, but after seeing your channel not only have I started shedding the horrible fat, I actually feel better within myself, I enjoy my exercise more and have a lot more energy, thank you again , you don't know how you have changed my life for the better.
Thank you, Tony! I wish you all the best!
Glad you're back! I've had a great start, been in Ketosis for nearly two weeks. Moving in on 10 pounds lost, and feeling much more energetic. Your videos have helped spur me on!
Started the carnivore diet and I did go through a transitional period. My diet before was mostly carbs. I am now starting to see the benefits of low carbs. I feel better. What actually works for me is to go 3 days high protein low carb and then on day 4, I get to splurge and it's all the carbs I want then I either partially or entirely fast on day 5 then back to the routine. Don't plan to ever go back to a high-carb diet.
I’ve been really enjoying your most helpful and informative channel since I found you at just the right time.
As of January 2, I started back up on my low carb diet (now keto). I just wanted to thank you for your very informative and motivating channel.
I’ve been feeling so much better now and I just placed my first order with LMNT!
Thank you so much!! 😊
That's great to hear, BluJean55!
I've done it now for 4 weeks. I've lost 1st 2lbs ❤.
And I feel great.
First week, felt a bit tired, but it because I went too low too quick.
Got it sorted now ❤.
It really does work x
Hello, doing a mix between keto and low carb. Carbs only after jogging ore cycling to fill up and regenerate better. Intermitted fasting (only one meal at the weekend) is normal for me. You save a lot of time and money if you do not eat so often 🙂. It is very comfortable , too - not looking for food every 4 hours. But I do not forget to enjoy live (pizza,beer and so on) after having this (once a week) i train more. Also drinking abel cidre vinager with water works for me. Sorry for my bad english. Greetings from Germany
Good advice, as always, and many thanks for sharing the photo of your daughter and yourself - I loved how healthy and happy you both looked!
Thanks, Luise Z. :)
Hi what a pretty picture you've on your profile! Just decided to stop by and say Hi!! I hope my compliment is appreciated ❤
Thanks for all your videos! I adopted your suggested low carbohydrate /16 hr fast routine and lost 20 pounds.
I commit to your challenge, Dr. Becky. The fasting part has been a great habit for me. I have trained myself to go for 16-26 hours of IF. 3-4/ times each week. However, I believe I need the electrolytes. I drink between 5-7 bottles of water daily. Thanks for the excellent, encouraging, and insightful video. I appreciate the discount too!
Thanks, Horace :)
@@beckygillaspyI've even told my mother about your videos!😊
I must say, I bought a box of LMNT variety pack and was shocked at how refreshing and delicious they were! I just got my 2nd box and added the chocolate medely. I just finished a hot chocolate raspberry and it too was delicious. I was only drinking water and missed my beverages. This was a happy surprise and will make my diet better.
I've committed to 7 days of carnivore to reset from 'keto grief eating' (lost my mom). Haven't eaten SAD foods, just too much keto food. I will commit here to the other 23 days. This is gonna be very helpful. Thanks DocB! 💜
I just read your comment and even though you don't know me, sorry you lost your Mom. Good luck with your reset!
Sorry for your loss, Sing it. I admire your commitment.
@@rosannechalson5826 thank you and thank you, very much!💜
Sorry for your loss. My mom passed a year ago and I turned to all The SAD foods but now I’m getting back on track by doing carnivore. We can do this.
@@sparklermp70 let's DO this!!!💜 9 months for me.💔
One of your best videos! So informative and putting it all together on how and what we should all be doing!!
I've been doing ADF for 4 months most are 40 to 42 hours. I also throw some 48 hour fasts and did one 7 day fast. I decided to do keto about 4 weeks ago. I'm finding if a kick myself out of ketosis or drop to under .5 after a meal, I'm back in ketosis in a few hours. Does this mean I'm on the right track to fat adapted?
I stumbled on this video and was mostly listening but I glanced up and saw your Husker rug and then of course your Husker shirt in the 5K photo. You now have a new subscription from a fellow Nebraskan.
You are so balanced.
I follow others on FB and their lifestyles are so complicated that people chastise themselves for an off day.
I feel like it’s robbing them of the joy of food and life. We aren’t slaves and we don’t have to be poking our fingers to prove it. The “early wo/man” that we are trying to emulate certainly didn’t poke her/his fingers!
Thanks for being a wise voice of reason as you teach and challenge us. 🌻Laura
I am folowing all these keto Doctors on youtube they are my mentors on low carb. I am back to swimming, eat two times a day a ketogênic style. Lost 10 quilograms. Joint pains and fibromylagia lessen out. A big thanks From Brasil.
I’m late , but I’m accepting the challenge. Only 10 pounds overweight, but most of it is around my middle. Never had a problem with compulsive eating until menopause but after 3 days low carb I have not problem controlling my eating 😄
Hi. Thanks for all the information. So you have something specifically for vegetarians or vegans?
Thanks
Absolutely wonderful video! I 100 percent agree. My hubby and I are doing keto and will be starting carnivore next week. And yes, we will be drinking coffee too! 😂 we are really enjoying your channel.
I second that
Helpful! I have had to stop dairy (not sure yet if I can handle dairy in the future) and stop gluten (which seems permanent) recently, and as I am gradually trying to get my gut to a better state, I find I am tired, and sometimes I do have headaches. This reminds me to be patient. Slowly, things are getting better.
Thank you so much for all your great videos! I really appreciate your approach. I have been intermittent fasting since February and have lost over 40 pounds so far. I love this new lifestyle and plan to do it for the rest of my life. At 70 I am starting late in life but I am glad I am “helping” my body by doing this.
Congratulations on your progress, J Burrell!
I was always told to lose fat you have to stop eating fat. Little good did that do me 😒 This makes a lot of sense. I'm going to give it a go. Thanks Dr. Becky 😊👍🏿
Stick with it William, it will work!!!
Your medal was well deserved lady!! And well done👏👏
Accepting this challenge to renew my focus after recent surgery! Thanks Dr. Becky!
I wish you the best, Pamela R!
Do you ever use electrolytes twice in one day? As a “stop” after lunch and another “stop” after dinner? Or is that too much in one day?
You have a soft calm voice with a mild accent its lovely to listen to. You should start a meditation channel your voice is perfect for that.
I used to listen to Jessica Heslop on UA-cam.
Thanks Dr.Becky! Congrats on winning your race!!!😉
"opportunity cost"! I LOVE that!!
I started at 5 to 6 grams of carbs per day then settled on anything less than 20g. You want some serious weight loss? Drop thos carbs to 5 like i did. I never went hungry and ate tons of food but lost 50 pounds in 5 months. 207lbs to 157 lbs. Its crazy considering how much steak eggs and butter i ate but without high insulin you will not store fat. There was definite fine tuning of electrolytes during the keto flu phase but mostly it is adding salt or taking a magnesium/potassium supplement while you transition. I feel FANTASTIC nowadays
Have you reintroduced more carbs into your diet? If so did you gain some of the weight back?
@@KM-vf4oi i did once i hit goal weight. I am less strict now that i am healthy, my body can handle a little carbs. I just know that they will cause a blood sugar dive and i may have cravings later. I ignore the cravings or answer them with a 0 carb high fat snack if they are too strong. Mostly i only eat at noon and five so carbs at any meal will be taken care of during my fast.
The cheap way to get your electrolytes is use Himalayan pink salt with water. It doesn't taste that good but it's alot cheaper. Just 2cup of warm water with 1/2or 1 tsp in the morning.
Hello …Thankyou.. love your videos. I am 74..I have been on Carnivore for exactly 2 months. Strangely…I have not lost any weight…or inches🤷♀️. But I certainly do Feel better…less inflammation…sleeping better. But…Also would like to lose 5-6 pounds…off my tummy!! But do not see it happening… I just bought a full body vibration machine..hope it helps
Thank you very much for your explanation. I was wondering while maintaing low carb high fat diet should i maintain a minimum calory intake ? If so how much calory minimum calory i should intake ? Or should i go for minimum calory intake like 400 calory a day ?
My insulin levels are highest in the mornings; they go up slightly over 100. The rest of the day I do fine. Is it better to intermittent fast during the morning hours or in the evenings? I usually skip breakfast and I've seen weight loss results but want to make sure this is the best way for healthy weight loss.
I've been omad carnivore, now ketovore (a big salad as my meal) for over 7 months. I feel like I've been stalled for a couple. How do I break this plateau and lose weight again? And will the flavored electrolytes break my fast? Ty!
Do you count your macros?
@@kellyrhoads1067 not really counting, but aware, but I eat once. I figure if I ate 2-3 times a day I'd really have to be careful, but I'm pretty careful now.
Dr. Becky, I tried this way of eating a couple years ago and it seemed I ended up accidentally cutting out a lot of fiber and I developed terrible heart burn and reflux. It seemed the fattier food made the symptoms worse! What can I do? It got to the point that I was throwing up everything I ate. I’d like to eat this way because it did make me feel better except for the terrible stomach issues.
Doctor, how do we know what is 125gr of carbohydrates?
Very lucid and clear video. Thanks for it.
Thank you very much for your great video. My question is what is the acidity of element electrolyte drink
I’m asking that as a dentist because we see huge influence of carbonized drinks including water on teeth enamel
Thank you
I’m a small eater. I think I’m already eating around 50g or even less without having to worry about the number. I take 1 tablespoon mct oil, and a 1/2 teaspoon plant oil (cold pressed olive oil) in my stirfry. 1 or 2 meals/day. Will I be fat adapted?
So, if i want to gain weight, should i eat a lot of carb to make insulin store fat? Or i keep eat a lot of healty fat? Thx
I've seen LMNT products before and I've stayed away due to 1,000 grams of sodium per packet. I'm not out running or even doing strenuous exercise, do you think that's a heathy amount when replenishing sodium when fasting?
Spot on! Thanks for the stopper advice, I think that will help me with carb cravings!
Since insulin cause to store energy as fat. What do we do with diabetic medication that triggers our bodies to produce more insulin. Isn’t that counter the keto diet ???
I am just now trying low carb high fat. I don't know how to actually measure the carbs I am taking in each day. Can you suggest something for a 72 year old beginner that will do the job but is not too difficult to get the hang of?
Great information and made me want to know what is an ideal insulin level since I have a blood glucose monitor and can monitor my insulin spikes based on food intake, especially carbs and second, how long should these low insulin periods last for fat adaptation? The obvious answer seems longer than shorter, but, how many days in a row before adaptation takes place?
Extremely informative video. Thanks for sharing!
I'm watching this for the second time.👍🌟 Good information as always thank you Dr Becky🌹👏🏻 and thank you for the link that went straight to it👏
Took the challenge lost 19 lbs
How long must I wait? I keep my carbs below 20, and eat High fat and moderate protein diet. I've done that for 10 weeks now (barring illness for a weak and eating more carbs up to 50 fault) but I still feel so lethargic. I can do all my tasks, but just slower. I hate it. I want my old energy back. I guess I'm just not fat adapted yet?
LMNT is delicious but find to use half a packet. Went through a box and reordered.
Thank you so much for all your videos! I have a problem that I can't seem to find a solution for when I low carb I become very short of breath... It's not to do with my electrolytes as I supplement sea salt magnesium and potassium.. it is according to all the research I've done a pretty common problem for some low carbs and they describe it as air hunger and that is exactly what I have.. when I go off low carb it corrects itself... I am at my wit's end because I love low carbing but I can't live like this anymore... Any thoughts or suggestions? I went to the emergency room one day and they couldn't find anything wrong... I will even wake up at night because it's so uncomfortable...
I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.
What's wrong with butter, lard, ghee, tallow, coconut, duck or goose fat? What's wrong with lamb, beef, pork, bacon, chicken, turkey and duck? Where did you get your diet from?
Challenge accepted. Eating and living in that way since December 2021 and lost 25kg. Never felt better than now.
indeed.
Doctor. Thanks for help us , God bless u. I am leaning , me 56 growing Spiritually but I used to be in good shape and then igaining weight and I was really tired of diets and running. and now I found you thank you so much
Here I am. So glad to hear your insightful talks. Thank you 🐞
Challenge accepted! Thank you for putting this video out there for all to see and learn.
Hi what a pretty picture you've on your profile! Just decided to stop by and say Hi!! I hope my compliment is appreciated ❤
As a newby, how much protein (compared with fat) should I eat to avoid kidney damage?? Thank you. x
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Hello Dr. Becky; I really enjoy watching your videos. You make something that could be boring interesting. I like your presentation.
Thank you, Bryant!
If a person keeps plant carbohydrates to maybe 30 grams a day, how can they NOT be fat adapted?
I always fail at low carb / keto / paleo diets .. BUT when I’m on them o feel AMAZING .. idk why I can’t stick to it
