that was fantastic, Thomas. Appreciate it. Did you ever complete a follow up video on this subject?
Is keto plus Intermittent safe for diabetics?
Loved the video! You’ve explained so well. Can’t wait for the part 2.
I have allergies to nuts, every kind of fish , no coconut flour or almond flour , no berries only fruit is apples. With medical issues on the rise and also my aging the only thing growing is my butt.. can you help?

Hey Thomas why did youtube delete the video? hope your good :c
I’ll be 👀. I’m wanting to start keto but am SOOO overwhelmed on where to start. I have purchased things like Ghee/swerve/MCT oil/etc…. My biggest issue is going to be my COFFEE ☕️😂 I drink a lot of it w/sugar! Coffee is the only thing I can’t stand artificial sweetener in but I have cut the amount I use in half (from 2 tsp to 1) I’ve tried a lot of different sweetners and swerve is the one I can tolerate ……crazy that it’s the brown sugar version I can stand in my coffee 🤷🏼♀️. I’m looking forward to watching this ……thnx for reposting the video. (I also purchased a chocolate ghee……any suggestions on using it?). Thnx Thomas. Crystal
Hello, Thomas, plz add subtitles in Russia or give rights who can translate yours videos.
With love, russian users)
@@eachandeverything9068 🖐 digital high 5! I am not rich, actually on disability, and my main concern was that keto was way too expensive .... here I am 3 years later, and realizing how cheap and simple it is! LOVING IT ❤❤❤
@@olegduboshin5638 if his videos have subtitles in English, can you copy and paste into Google translate? I know it's not a very good translation sometimes, but I have usually had success with Spanish, Hebrew, Polish, and Romanian
I remember exactly one year ago, stumbling across this video. I was trying to troubleshoot my issues with thyroid and inflammation as well as not losing weight after working out 4-5 days a week. I came across this video and felt so empowered, I started immediately. I watched more content from Thomas, learned so much more and never looked back. I’m now in the best physical and mental condition I’ve been in my entire life 🧡
Wow / I have hypothyroidism
Gained weight ...,
Your comment has motivated me to do keto & given me hope
I have had same result, though my issue was being overweight, high blood pressure and air trapping (Kind of like KOL).
Thank you for the inspiration! Day one for me.
@@tergatt4422 cool, give it 2 weeks at least where you are relatively hardcore. Maybe buy some C8 oil, in case you lag energy or get the KETO flue.
I'm back on KETO after an 8 months break. Two weeks in now, no big drawbacks but I have also seen less effect than the first time. This time I have lost 0,5-1 Kg, but guess it's also more difficult as I'm already at a normal BMI. Still keep it up as I hope to get a bit lower in body fat and maybe even lose a few Kg more. Also, I had started to lose the fat-burning benefits I had after the last time I was on KETO, I hope I can get them back by doing a 1-2 months KETO, last time I had a 9 months KETO.
Please keep us updated on how you are doing, and feel free to ask if you have any questions.
I just want to be healthy and not loose weight because i already fluctuate in weight badly ( more easy to loose than gain) so the steuggle is real

@@VoIPPortland UA-cam deleted his videos? Crazy!
Really really awesome video Thomas! I'm curious, have you ever tried Next Level Diet? I got a custom keto meal plan from them.
I just got a meal plan from them! How has it been working for you?
This video took me from normal low carb eating to real Keto and I've been on Keto for almost 2 years now . My health has improved immensely, including the fact that I'm no longer diabetic. I wish every diabetic would seriously consider going Keto!
I am very happy for you!
Strange how this video inspired you 2 years ago when it was published less than a year ago...
@@jasonking1284 Lol! Sorry. I miss spoke. I do that a lot. I meant to say "HIS" videos. I've been watching Thomas' videos about keto from the beginning. Got my son to do the challenge with me that Thomas started Jan. 2, 2020. My son lost 50 lbs. and now wears the same waist size pants that he wore in high school. My daughter is also living the keto life style, even though she didn't need to lose any weight, because she sees the health benefits of it.
Does this mean you can eat a donut for example & have relative normal blood sugar levels?
@@kasimvahora2484 Only if you are not Diabetic. If you are Diabetic, your sugar will go high after eating a donut.
Thomas,
Your Contribution to the World of Health and Fitness is Cutting Edge and One of few Sources of Fact in a Greed driven world.
Keep your Focus and Ignore the Corruption.
Take it all as a compliment,
Your Truely making An Impact.
A Good One.
Paul 🙂💪
WOW!!... You couldn't have hit the mark any more "Dead Center"! I am addicted to listening to him. And, using his advice!
Thomas doesn't need any medical certificates, He had the determination and will power to research and study the science of metabolism of the human body.
Personally, I think he is as honest as I am. I know he gets compensation for a lot of what he says, But, I see absolutely no greed in these videos.
BTW, Thomas if you happen to see this particular comment, I hope you will see this as a sincere compliment.
This man is a true asset to the UA-cam community. His statements are based on real science, i.e., physiology and biochemistry! If you are new to this channel, please know that not all information found on UA-cam can be given the same weight.

Disabled Army vet here. I lose my pride everytime in public trying to walk with my body not responding due to obesity. I need this in my life right now. Thank you sir.
Thank you for your service. Good luck on your journey, you got this!
You need to follow Dr. Eric Berg right NOW to broaden your horizon from here. Good luck.
Thank you for your service!
You absolutely can do great things for your body! My husband and I are on the journey to health. All with God’s Grace.
I also recommend the channel and advice of Dr. Mindy Pelz, especially regarding fasting. My husband is carnivore and I’m keto, going great!
I feel you there buddy.
Dr. Berg is your guy...please look him up
Just over a year ago I was curious about keto and I ended up watching this whole video. I am now 130 lbs lighter and a single pound away from reaching onederland (sub 200). Your videos are easy to follow and digest. The information I got from this made so much sense to me and it worked. Thank you so much, Thomas!
I’m 62, type 2 diabetic lost 130 pounds on keto. Only thing that worked . Tried everything. Off 10 medications. After first month energy was amazing , mental clarity better than in my 30’s. I have back injury-minimal exercise. I highly recommend this. I’ve been doing this for 3 years.
Thats amazing!!!!!!! Can you share a sample of what you ate on a day ?
Thats awesome! Congrats!
I'm 70 and need and want to do this.
I can't even begin to tell you how helpful this was on my Keto journey. I pealed off 70 lbs of lard, and down 3 pants sizes based on the info you provided here. When anyone asks me how I regained control of my life, I point them to your channel, Thomas, as a starting point. Now, I control my dining, rather that having it controlling me. Choosing the right foods when I eat helps keep the fire burning, even when its up to 72 hours between refueling stops. Your techniques helped me find clarity and confidence to take the next steps in taking control of my personal health.
Been following this brother for a while now; he walks his talk, knows his stuff, and I have gone from 260 Ibs (at 6'3) to 238Ibs. My target is 220lbs, then start building muscle to around 230-240. right now I am leaning out and have plenty of energy to get through each day of 12-15 miles walk/Jog/Run, work and staying focused! Keep up the fire TD! #STAYFIERCE💥
I've lost 19 lbs in 1 month following your advice and I just want to say thank you so much..
Edit: I was 223, down 21 lbs in 5 weeks. My blood pressure was very high, now stabilized all from Thomas' keto and fasting tips.
Isnt that too much to lose in one month? Damn
@@whyarewestillhere4781 most of it was water weight, I'm still loosing but not as fast. And I feel better than ever and stopped drinking alcohol all together.

This video got me started on Keto over a year ago.
For me, it’s the single most helpful video in helping me reach my weight loss goals.
I have been sharing with family and friends interested in embarking on ketogenic lifestyle.
So happy to see this being reloaded onto UA-cam.
Hey, Great video Thomas. So let me just get confirmation on one thing: Keto isn't bad for your kidney?
Keto definitely makes me feel calmer, sharper, and healthier.
Any good diet plan is supposed to be healthy and convenient so people can follow it long term. That's why keto sucks, and why the Agoge diet is great. I got rid of my cellulite finally.
Copy
I was diagnosed with Diabetes in 2019. My blood sugar was about 300 with A1C of 9. On keto, I have a BGL of 95 and A1C of 7. Keto has been great.
Last year this month I weighed around 100 kg. This year this morning I weighed 71 kg.
I started Keto with OMAD (sometimes IF when I was feeling extra hungry during the day) since last year October. That video helped me alot. *YOU* helped me alot! I could not do this without your advice and knowledge. You literally save my live, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Since I started I Keto and OMAD, few months into it
1. My sleep apnea stops. At first I was insomniac for few months, but now I sleep like a baby :D
2. My skin gets better
3. I live in South East Asia, therefore, insect bites are pretty common. When I was way overweight it would take weeks for them to go away especially if they got infected. Now the healing process is a lot faster.
4. I am suffering from clinical depression as well, but right now, mentally and mood wise I am at a better condition a year ago.
I can't express enough how your videos especially the one that got deleted helped me to be healthier and better! You are a Godsend Thomas, don't let anyone says otherwise.
Edit: I also bought some dumbbells and do full body work out 3 times a week, and the other 4 days, I do cardio by cycling for 1 hour. These exercises also helped me in my journey.
Hey....can you plzz help me with OMAD keto...can we talk plzz....on any social media you're ok with...I really wanna know about your experience and I have some questions...so plz..
How tall are you? what’s your BMI?
@@AshwajeetKamble I am afraid, apart from youtube, I don't use any other social medias. I don't need to, because I can anything from UA-cam, from entertainment, news and knowledge. You can ask me here, if you want to I don't mind, not sure if on my channel I enable the discussion page. I need to check. Have a good day.
@@markfox3083 165 cm ( i think 5 foot 4 inches), pretty short dude :D, but average for South East Asian. BMI in kg and cm is 26.4
My target weight is around 60-65 kg, but my weight has been plateu a bit this month, since I have been working out extra hard and build more muscle.
Not entitrely sure what is my fat percentage, most of my fat located in lower abdomen (thigh, hips and back) Hope that answer your question.
I personally do 20:4 IF, I eat for 4 hours than stop eating for 20 hours
I didn’t realize the original got deleted. I’ve been following keto and intermittent fasting since February 2020 and I’m down 101lbs. I’m healthier and feeling better than ever and this channel has been such a strong component to my weight loss. I’ve learned so much and have been able to educate myself for the long run and not just find a simple solution where I’m likely to gain it back. Life changed! Thank you Thomas and your team for the work you all do. THANK YOU 🙏🏽
this is everything 👌🏻

@@frankytapia1911 You got this! Thomas gives an insane amount of information that you can adapt to yourself as needed. Listen to your body, have patience and trust that with time you will drop the weight.
@@TravelAlways316 thank you 🙏🏻
Interesting I want to start Keto as I've been doing IF since Oct 2020. I have a lot to learn tho.
i actually did try keto first and i always feel sick, that is the reason why i switched to a different diet which is agoge diet, i have never felt better, not just that i feel great but i can see changes on me as well, it really helped me lose weight by still enjoying my meals
You might need to see a doctor before embarking on the keto especially if you have health issues. You’d need to go into it gradually instead of going from life of consuming heavy carbs to nothing so suddenly
Hey Thomas!!!! I watched your videos just recently and STARTED YOUR advice 2 weeks ago and am 8 lbs lighter ALREADY! I'm sharing you w everyone! Thank you so much for being here 😊
Woah! Way to go
This is the ultimate guide, screw reading a book. This channel is the true digital library for Keto enthusiast
I needed this video! You propelled me to lose 90lbs in 7 months last year. I was so happy when I got pregnant but then unfortunately had Elizabeth as a stillbirth. My heart has been through a lot and my emotional eating went off the handle. Thank You Lord for sending me this video...I really needed this again!
I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you have found peace , though I know that’s a pain that will never go away. Emotional eating Is the worst but it sure does work in the moment. God bless and best wishes on life’s journey❤️
I hope you're feeling stronger. Please have many blessings!
I am so sorry for your loss. I know your pain, as I had a stillborn girl 11 years ago, and it shakes all your world . Keep strong. Concentrate on yourself, in your emotional and physical health. That is something that you can control and it helps to ground you and believe. I wish you all the best ❤️❤️❤️
❤❤❤
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I started keto in May of this year not really knowing what I was doing. I am learning as I go. I have lost a total of 30 pounds so far. I am so happy I came across your channel. You are giving so much info that is so amazing!! Thank you for this video!!
I avoided this video for the longest time because of it's length but DAMN was every second worth it! I've been on OMAD for over 2 years now and can't believe it's taken me this long to commit to going Keto. I guess I figured I could indulge once a day and be fine....but my energy levels have always been extremely low the morning after and it takes several hours for them to pick up. This is even after eliminating sugar, dairy, gluten, refined carbs, seed/vegetable oils & meat. Well over the past week I made a drastic change to my OMAD meal and replaced oats with hemp seeds (thanks to your keto oatmeal recipe). The results are simply GAME CHANGING. Thank you Thomas, you are doing humanity a great service!
This guy is the best keto person on UA-cam, hands down!
I will add Intermittent fasting to your statement
Yes,, but Dr.Eric Berg is also.
Check out Greg doucette and Remington James. I’ve done keto but in the end it’s calories in calories out and the guys I mentioned have got me in the best shape of my life hands down.
I agree.
Unbelieveable
When the student is ready the teacher shows up! Perfect timing ⏱
I’m ready! I really hope this works for me, I’ve tried so many diet and have been so strict on calories with very little results
@@deinacayten6610 Keto is a lifestyle, not a diet plan. Remember to take your time.

Just started Keto three weeks ago, but this video was the one which actually helped me to understand certain things about this diet. Thank you for breaking it down in layman’s terms! Thank you for taking the time to do this video. Subscribing and looking forward to watching more!😊
Absolutely love this guy. He explains keto so well. Thank you Thomas ❤
I fasted for 3 days and slowly breaking my fast. Transitioning to keto diet today. This video is perfect timing. Thank you
Me too!
Me too!
Omg same!
I never understood how people fast without being keto first. You'll find it's a lot easier to fast now
@@thomasjones9559 True. It is easier. I barely have cravings.
Lost 50 lbs following Thomas’s advice! The best in the keto community
How long did it take u to loose this waight
@@alanheisenberg I had a friend who was the laziest person on keto. Never worked out. Survived on Low carb burgers and baconets and beef and cheese snacks.
He lost 100 pounds in a year. So if you take it more serious then yeah you will see drastic results.
I lost weight too but then couldn't find it 🤔😥
I use 8 oz of water mixed with tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon three times a day, 10 mins before meals, it stopped ALL my blood sugar ups amd downs. I can go longer betweem eating and i digest my food better! Good tip for those on keto
long ,but so on point. Everything we need. No fluff. Thank you.
Started the keto life September 2019, been doing it on and off and lost 40lbs. Starting weight 230, now 190. I’m shooting for a good looking 180-185. Thank you Thomas for all your info and help.
Man, this video is like a Master Class in keto! I trust anything Thomas puts out as his research is legit and extensive which I so appreciate. Thanks so much Thomas! Sharing with all my family asking about keto and intermittent fasting.
You truly make this soooo much easier. My keto success has a lot to do with my effort but your information!! Thank you so much!
I have lost 32lbs since February on keto following Thomas, really appreciate your help, your the best.
I didn't really needed to lose weight, I just love the lifestyle of having almost infinite energy and mental clarity. This channel keeps getting better and better!
5 years in Keto. Would not have been possible without you doing this. Yesterday I was told (again) how unhealthy keto is and I should get off of it. ( by a 5’3” /250 lb female) then she told me about her diabetes/high blood pressure/ high cholesterol.
Lol
Isn't it hysterical and kind of sad at the same time!? Oh well... people gotta make their own choices.
I'm almost to the point where I don't even tell people I'm do keto just for that reason. I'm tired of hearing it, explaining it etc.
My dietician didn't want me doing it but she couldn't deny that I lost 20 lbs in 4 weeks - I started my Keto journey Sept 1 2020 at 217 lbs and while i've now stalled at 194 lbs it's still incredible
LOL!!!
Educated, motivated and ready to begin! Thank you for this video.
I've watched a few of these intro to keto videos and I have to say, this is the best one I've seen so far. Thomas explains it really well. Will be sharing to encourage others to get on the keto journey.
I still hope they can find the original, but we'll do our best to help. 🔦🧡🔦

Adding Keto to my already sugar-avoidant routine. Tom's explanations are very clear. Thank you.
On two months of keto, down 10kg. Amazing. Been working out like a mad man too, and I think you also need to up your activity. Your videos are REALLY articulate, and well spoken. Great stuff. Keep going.
Started Keto a year ago today, got to my goal weight and kept it off for 7 months now with your help, advice and support from your followers. This video is a must for everyone. 🙏🙏🙏🙏✌️👍😘
Even if it was a glitch, the numbers should be restored by UA-cam on principle alone. On top of principal there is the public disservice they are committing by making this video hard to find.
This video was one of the cornerstones in my 190 lbs to 140 lbs transformation. I am certain that continuing on Keto for life is going to improve my longevity and keep me healthy and activite till my last days.
Thank you Thomas.
Very informative!!
Really enjoy your channel! I’ve been on keto for 5 months and have lost 50lbs , I’m a 60 yo woman. I’m very happy on it. This video is a deeper dive into the mechanics of keto for me. Thank you so much.
I've been bloated basically everyday for at least a couple of years now. Accompanied by other gut health problems, constipation, chest pain, heartburn, acid reflux. Started keto last week, and after just three days all of these problems were gone. Haven't felt that good in a while, even with the keto fatigue I'm experiencing currently. Still learning... like protein powder is inflammatory, I reacted immediatly. I'm looking forward to following this diet.
Everyone with any inflammatory issues should definetly try this.
Same here! I suffered for 5 years with gut problems intestinal inflammation and a swollen bloated stomach. I tried everything. Nothing worked until I removed inflammatory foods and increases my good fat and vegetables. Everything went away!
So sorry this happened! I have shared your original video so many times with people just starting out. It tremendously helped me! This second one will be even better!! Can’t wait to add it to my “quick start guide” that I share with newbies!
You're going to reach more new folks this time that have missed the original. Your knowledge has increased as well so this will be better ... 💜
Thank you Thomas, I have learned so much from your videos my keto experience is so much better, plus I’ve started fasting on the regular (Zero).
I look forward to my notifications from you. Down 60 lbs so far, 90 more to go and you are helping that happen
Amidst all the insanity of the last 2 years, I lost track of you. Now I'm retired, divorces, and living a nomadic lifestyle. NO STRESS!!! Loving it. Now I'm recouperating from the damage of the stress I used to experience daily. Thanks for this video, and thanks for the lean muscle shots. They are pleasant to see and very encouraging. Now! Off for a 3 mile hike in a fasted state! I'm getting there a bit each day.
Looking forward to the video again. Thomas, you have changed the lives of my family for the better. Your guide started us on a information filled journey to better health. Thank you!
Keto may have saved my life and this video played a part as an initial tool that got me started.
What I've loved about Keto so far: great mental focus, really good and stable mood, I can breather better. And of course I am less hungry than before.
I'm a 78 year old male on Atkins for 25 years with 100% success! You explained everything very well. What I really appreciated was the fact you didn't come down really hard on my favorite drink diet Pepsi! I hear so many experts warning us that drinks like diet Pepsi will kill us and all the other scare tactics. I have found over the last 25 years that when you feel the need to have a treat that diet Pepsi is far better than being 400 pounds! Just try to keep the number of diet drinks down to a minimum and feel good that it wasn't chips and cake. I can't eat anything with grains, fruit and potatoes because they just trigger my eating addiction too much! My favorite treat is a casserole pizza. I have learned to enjoy pizza without the crust. I have learned over the years that something you don't enjoy as much is probably the best way to go. All the best.
Personally, I needed 🙏 this as a restart on my Keto lifestyle after getting thrown way off track with gym shutdown and depression from Covid lockdowns, etc. 🍳🍗🥗🥜🍽
Ditto here!
Same thing happened to me 😓
I started cold turkey after watching your original video June 23rd 2019. I lost 60 pounds. I have been struggling through a higg conflict seperation and my routine as a stay at home down of my three young boys has been flip upside down. This refreshed video was just what I needed to get my head straight as far as maintaining my health. An essential platform for the rest of my mental well being. I got healthy for my whole family a year and a half ago. I will remain healthy for my boys🥰 Thank you and bless you for all that you do!
Thank you. I'm 50 years old. Currently I'm fasting on 16/8 and when I do eat I'm on a keto diet. I'm dropping weight pretty good. Thanks fro a great video !!
I recently found out I am currently a diabetic. I say currently because I don't intend to remain in this state. I've heard terrible things about the Keto effects that beginners endure. But I've seen worse things happen to diabetics, so I'm going to take my chances with Keto. This video was extremely informative. I am learning as much as I can and preparing myself and my pantry before I begin. My husband has volunteered to be my partner through this process even though he's in great shape. I truly appreciate his support.
I'm going to start by drinking bullet proof coffee a few mornings a week to get me pass the morning cravings and lessen my carb intake with each meal. Within a week or two we plan to go full throttle. Say a prayer for us. We'll be tuning in throughout the week for more videos to keep us going.
Please give us an update!! I was recently diagnosed with diabetes as well. Apparently I have had it for a while, but just found out. Already have kidney damage & I’m truly afraid!!! I hope you are doing great now!!
@@YmarieP1 First, the good news.... my A1C is down from 13.9 to 6.2 without insulin. I found that Keto was too difficult for me. The 2 life savers for me are intermittent fasting and low carb meals. I knew that I was in the position I was in because of my love for food. So instead of making a list of things I couldn't have, I made a list of things I could have and I created meal ideas from the list. Eat meat. Lots of meat. Grilled Chicken breast with salad or sweet potato with cinnamon and stevia, turkey sandwiches on flat round bread with lettuce, tomatoes, bacon... make it filling. Bake fish, sautée some shrimp to top your salad, make a hamburger without the bun, buy coke zero and sprite zero. For snacks try boiled eggs, a snack size ziplock of popcorn, a few sliced pickles or a grapefruit with stevia. Don't deny yourself everything or you will not last. If you crave something sweet after dinner, get 2 Hershey kisses or 3 vanilla wafers. But not after every meal. I even pick something light at lunch like a lunchable, a water with crystal light and 10 grapes. It's just enough to satisfy but not stuff me. I save heavier meals for dinner around 8 or 9 so my fast can last the next day. Training your body to fast isn't easy or pleasant. But don't set out to fast 16hrs on day one. Do 10 hours. Then 12, 14 and eventually 16. Your body will adapt much better. Sip a coke zero if it helps to push you further. Or coffee with Stevia.
I'm trying to put so much info into this message. I hope it's not overwhelming. I also wear a sugar monitor so I won't have to stick myself everyday. I swear, it changes the way you eat. I won't eat unless my sugar is 90 or lower. And try to cut out snacking overtime if you can. Everytime you eat, it spikes your sugar. And if you're on metformin, take it! My life is so much better now.
I will help you in any way that I can.
Showing Thomas some love, shame on UA-cam for 'losing' your video. I dunno how they have such a huge platform and manage to lose a video that has millions of views. You have helped me so much during my journey to health. I hope this video gets back to its previous glory. So much good information here.
Keto and intermittent fasting are alternative medicine, i.e. no conventional medicine. Best channel and medicine around!!
This is so true, and has been my experience!! 🙌🏾
wow, I am 12 mins in the video and I feel so empowered. it has been super informative already. I have been doing a lot of fasting for over a year now, so am getting facts right that I can start the keto and incorporate it into my daily lifestyle with my family.
how did it go?
I wanted to get into Keto for a while now, but couldn’t find anything that would explain me how in a simple way. This is by far the most comprehensive video out there. I sat through the whole thing, took notes, and subscribed. Now Im gonna go and watch all your other videos.
Thanks
Reminds on...... Starting keto Monday..... Again 🙃
Go girl, I just started again this week :)
The video that started me down the Keto path. Down 40 pounds in 3 months so far. Thanks for all your vids!
This guy is immensely knowledgeable about nutrition , wish all doctors in the world learnt a thing or two from him. I personally learnt so much about nutrition from Thomas and now I consume a perfect Ketogenic diet and have been maintaining a healthy weight and regular workouts !!!
This is such a powerful and “in a nutshell” summary of all the basics that one needs to know. Plus, in such a motivating way. Really good content. Thank you Thomas. Really hard work to put together something as informative yet fun to watch.
Your intermittent fasting content is comprehensive, and the speed and cadence of your voice conveys your expertise. I've learned so much, and you keep me inspired. Many thanks!
Don't worry about it Thomas, Everything happens for a reason amd I'm sure there's some light at the end of this tunnel 👍
Yes I agree LOTS of new KETO buddies 😊
@Brian Conlow Thomas is NOT delusional.

Started a traditional diet in January 2023 when I weighed 257 pounds, I am 66 years old. Gradually learned more and more about Keto and once I became fat adapted the weight dropped steadily. By June I weighed 207 pounds. Blood glucose levels are very steady and all my vitals were impressive to my doctor. He stated that I could eliminate my T2 diabetic meds. The carb deficit is difficult to get used to, but the results are very impressive. I know when I am in Ketosis as I can taste it! Its a new lifestyle that I know will be a game changer.
Great video sir! And very helpful for my wife and I as we are just moving back into the Keto Lifestyle (we were actually a little more Paleo before I think). Anyway, your videos answer a lot of questions and I appreciate the fact that you incorporate research and studies so we have the science to give us that little extra nudge of confidence. It must feel great to know you’ve helped so many folks! Thanks again!
This is without a doubt the most informative ketogenic diet video I've seen. Great job! Subbed.
I just turned on the reminder!
You’re the best! 🥰 love how knowledgeable and caring you are! 🙌🏾
I am just starting Keto and found your video. I am now armed with valuable information. You are very good at teaching and synthesizing vast quantities of information and tailoring it to the novice. Thank you!
I've went from 220 pounds to 185 in about 2 months using keto alone. I have just started working out about 30 minutes 6 days a week. This stuff is magical.
Upvoted. The Keto diet helped me lose the weight and this guide helped. I started out at 280lbs and I am now at 165lbs. Take notes and you can do this.
This man has mastered the subject and related matters. Well done. This is a valuable service to mankind. Keep up the good work
I just started Keto and this is by far the most helpful video on the internet that I’ve seen. Thank you!
Love you Thomas...Im a keto beast right now. 54 next month and I am ripped and lean. I just need to dial in
My Intermittent fasting. I do 20:4, 3 days/week and I struggle to get in my calories in at my eating window. 5', 1" female at 98 lbs - super lean and muscular.
Yes yes! This is a great video with great information! In fact I captured screenshots off of the original video and kept them as a little reference sheets. I am a 76-year-old woman who found a new lease on my health when I found your channel a couple of years ago. Thomas, I love your UA-cam channel, and I love the information you give us! Keep it up!
I’m a 70 year old female have not felt well for years. Your comment has inspired me. I felt that I m too old to do this. You have encouraged me.❤😊
Just started gaining interest in keto and this has been the best video I’ve found BY FAR 🙏🏼
i'm new to this channel, but... I have to say that I'm pretty impressend by the knowledge of Thomas, in general health, hormones, neurotransmitters, body's biology, keto, fasting, nutrition... He sounds confident, he knows his stuff, speaks in a good catchy way, I mean, this guy is genuine and competent, I can tell only by watching like 2 videos of his. Really, really, great job, I'm following!
More people like this, please!
Also: congrats! I'm impressed, really, when I have to give credit to someone, when I have to comend and compliment someone, I will, it's well deserved :D
Thumbs up!!!!
Oh, and i want to add the following: I love veggies, and for people like me, we must watch out for the anti nutrients from cruciferous veggies, beans, grains, nuts and seeds and night shades: lectins (beans and wheat), phytic acid/phytates (grains and legumes), oxalates/oxalic acid (sesame seeds, soy beans, dark leafy greens), gluten and glucosinolates (broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage) are my top 5 to watch out; then, you also have: isoflavones/phytoestrogens (soy beans), tannins, solanine (night shades) and saponins (quinoa).
If you are on keto, you don't have to worry about a lot of them, except for cruciferous veggies, dark leafy greens, night shades and nuts and seeds.
Also watch out for bad fats: processed, trans and seed oils, specially those that are GMO: soy oil, corn oil, canola oil
Oh, and also this: keep an eye on your kidney function if you consume a lot of protein. If you are eating a lot of protein and it can be somewhat unbalanced, it is going to have an effect on your kidneys, so watch out for that.
;)
This video helped me so much back in the day , it was definitely the starting point of my wellness journey.. never looked back! Thank you Thomas and the team for the hard work 👑💖
I had high Triglycerides since childhood and 1 year after being on keto my Triglycerides were finally in the normal range. 🥰 My Dr said I had the blood work of a teenager ❤ I love love love keto and I wouldn't be where I am without Thomas. I am so grateful for him 💚
The thing I love about you is that you always clarify the exact things I am concerned about.
I am so happy I found this video. You answered so many of the important questions I needed to know to begin my keto journey. I've watched many of your videos & they've been incredibly helpful. You're so knowledgeable & I'm always looking for another video of yours to watch. Thank you so much.
This is great! Thank you Thomas. I needed a "reset" so the timing of this is perfect
This is my second time watching this because I watched the original video that was deleted. Why would UA-cam do such a thing? This is such a wealth of information. Thanks so much!
They don't want people to be inform!
Corporations don’t want healthy people....
This is one of the best vids I've watched on this subject! THANK YOU!
Perfect timing! I need to watch this again to get back on track!
Been keto for 1 year still learning and haven't seen this yet can't wait for the premiere
Very accurate, and very wise and generous advice+ Clear, simple. life has become too complicated. Thank you, Thomas, what you did with yourself, is the best testimony of your continuous knowledge!
I'm 4 weeks into my custom keto diet plan and I've lost 14 pounds which I must say is pretty incredible, it's actually amazing watching my body transform into something I am actually proud of rather than something I have always tried to cover up. Meals that are based on personal food preferences to make their diet enjoyable and help them stay on track with their plan. Also, a downloadable shopping list each week that details every needed ingredient they will need in the upcoming seven days, here you go
TD, thank you for all the knowledge you brought to me on the start of my journey!! I started 12/2/2019 and have changed my life. Down 80#’s. SW 235 CW 165 and now putting on good weight!!
