- Опубліковано 26 чер 2021
- Weight Watchers (WW) ads are everywhere. They seem desperate to get new users to sign up to fill in the gaps of the disenchanted who have quit. A new study pits Weight Watchers against KETO in a head-to-head randomized trial of their diet apps. The results weren't even close!
Don't waste your time, effort, and money on a diet that leaves you hungry and lets you down...

Just wanted to say thank you so much for your videos! I lost 50 pounds and I haven’t looked back! This diet is 100% real and I’m still losing weight! Once I’m not poor anymore I’ll send you some cash doc! You’re 100% legit!
My friend and I started our diets at the same time almost 3 years ago. She went WEight watchers and I did Keto. Both of us have underlying medical problems. She has RA and others I have Hashimoto’s. She lost weight faster at first. I gained BUT was healing my body. In the last 2 3/4 years since then she has had many more health problems pop up and gone to many many more doctors. We have lost almost the same amount of weight since then and my Hashimoto’s has improved and (knock on wood) I haven’t gained anymore auto-immune diseases!! I get to eat bacon and eggs EVERYDAY for lunch for almost 3 years she eats salads and spray margarine(because it is zero points). I have lost weight, gained knowledge and am working on healing my body!! Love it!!
Save them
Margarine? Do they eat a lot of other types of fake food on the WW starvation diet?
@@boink800 YES! If you go to a meeting, they hawk their processed food snacks and dinners. They are all full of highly processed junk. You get a booklet of recommended foods. They promote a lot of veggies and lean meat, low fat... I felt starved the entire time and I was miserable.
@@boink800 yes, they do!
WW is not healthy if you eat the premade foods . . . Preservatives, artificial sweeteners, and the like.
I did WW some years ago, I lost weight but I was STARVING. I remember lying in bed and thinking if I just fall asleep the hunger pains will be gone. Ultimately, I gained all the weight back. I switched to keto and lost the weight again but was never hungry and feel so much happier and healthier on keto.
Truth
Me too! I also damaged my metabolism.
I don’t know what the ww program used to be but Iv never Ben hungry on it Iv lover over 30lbs in the last couple months
You only need to avoid 3 things to be keto 95%. Sugar, carbs, processed foods. Done! The other 5% you can tweak as you go
Smart man. Put that on a tshirt.
I state: avoid refined sugars, processed foods, and vegetable/seed oils. (carbs are sugar)
My older sister had gastric bypass surgery and at thanksgiving she was eating a bowl of desert I can’t remember what it was but it was pure sugar, well I pointed out that she was eating pure carbs and she said no I’m not I said yes you are sugar is nothing but carbs. Her mouth dropped she told me that many many years ago it was never labeled as such. So she recalibrated what she ate and eliminated refined sugars.
@@maryduff8831 so she was fine eating sugar but not carbs? Sugar is a short chain carbohydrate as you knew but that means faster and greater insulin spikes. Least she knows now 🙂
@@growbydoing7290 she didn’t know but yes now she knows.
I lower my husband from A1C from 8.9 to 6.8. Yes we will stay keto.
Great job, I hope HbA1c will continue downward.
Well done !! I'm keto too and love it.
Love those pork ribs.
Rich&2carnivoris kittys 🐱🍖🐈⬛
I'm slowly bringing my husband to keto.
Getting him IF now. Next will be some OMAD. And slowly changing our meals..
I lowered my father’s in law from 13 to 5.8 in 2 months and no more medication
My wife was on Weight Watchers for over 20 years. Up and down, lose a little - gain a little. She could not stay on the weight watcher program. She started KETO and has dropped over 80 pounds, loves the eating options and has no trouble staying the course. She did lose a lot of money with weight watchers, not with KETO.
I am getting off my diabetes medication in record quick time. My doctor says I no longer require medication after going KETO three months ago! And I lost two pants size from size 14 to size 10 !!! Still losing weight like crazy!
Go Colleen!
Awesome keep going!
Wow!! Excellent work!
Awesome! Love hearing stories like this. Great job!!
3 Months! I got off 2000mg in 3 weeks. In 3 months my A1C was 5.1. Congratulations on your health.
My Dr recommended I do ww after 3 months of undeniable success on keto....I said "no", and have continued to lose weight, improve my blood work, and improve my (and my family's) quality of life!
Why is your dr. Still your doctor? If they can’t see or accept the improvements in your health, you should be looking for someone who can support you.
@@majipoorcat Hoping to prove a point....my Dr saw the evidence, the results, but then fell back into "what was taught". The Dr agreed to go another 5 months and check labs again (this time with Ha1c, c-peptide, among all the rest). I am building a case to (hopefully) open the eyes of several at the practice. If not, well "they ain't the boss of me!" LOL
@@sunsetloungejc I hope you are successful at opening their eyes. I've got a supportive doc, but she still wants me to take a statin because I have high LDL. My triglycerides plummeted, my HDL doubled, but all she can see is the LDL. Go figure.
@@pamelap.123 EXACTLY the same here...believing high LDL is still a marker for stroke and heart attack
@@majipoorcat not all doctors are in the business of wellness . . . it doesn't create long-term income. Too many are in BigPharma's pockets . . .
went to Costco and they had samples of pita bread. the demonstrator said "it's only 3 weight watcher points" I looked at the macros, HALF the pita had 20 grams of carbs😶 I simply walked away. thank you for the education Dr Berry and Nurse Neisha.
Odd considering Costco sells a ton of Keto foods.
😱😱😱🙈 good lord huh? 🤷♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've been eating keto Street tacos, 0 carbs and delicious. La Banderita is the brand. They have carb counter Street tacos and keto Street tacos. Keep your eyes open for the difference.
I have been on Weight Watchers over and over again - probably 8 times since 1982 - with marginal success. I was always, always hungry and gained the weight right back. On keto I have lost 45 lbs.. No more BP meds, great HDL. Never hungry!
⚘🎉🎉
Congratulations🏅
I, too, have intermittently and too often gone to WW. While there are good things I learned and continue to apply, the reality is WW focuses far too much on food. All I thought about was food while on the program . . . Almost went back a year ago but, upon looking at newest program(s), I realized it was Not a Good Fit, (no pun intended, lol).
I lost >100 lbs with lots of protein, veges, very few carbs (in the form of fruit/veges). It was amazining.
Exactly the same, lost the weight, then gained back, $$$ unsustainable
Been on Keto since March 1st 2021.... I have lost 64lbs as of yesterday. Went from 390 to 324 in less than 4 months. My goal is to be at 300 by Labor Day Weekend. Staying strong!
Good job 🧡
💪F@@K Yeah 👍
Keep it up. It will happen if you want it to happen. Have you been able to incorporate any exercise into your daily routine yet?
Wow!
@@WilliamWBG Yes I have. When I first started this, I could barely do 2000 steps in a day. I had extreme lower back pain and very close to losing most mobility and 3XL clothes were starting to not fit me... This is why I started Keto. I was about to cross a point of no return with my weight. Ive done pretty clean strict keto, I got all the nasty oils and inflammatory stuff out of my diet completely. I am now able to do 45 minutes of fast pace walking every single day, which is about 2 and half miles. When I get down to 300, Im going to incorporate some Low Impact Cardio routines every morning and do my walking in the evening. 3XL clothes are now baggy on me and Im hoping by labor day ill be in 2XL... My over-all goal is 240 and at some point add in weight training. The anti-inflammatory benefits of KETO is changing my life. Even if I go back to a more low carb/Low Fat/ Calorie deficit way of eating after my weight loss, ill be eating much cleaner and really watching the ingredients I put into my body. Only been doing this 4 months but ive went from not being able to hardly walk 100 yards without severe pain to now being able to do 2 and half miles without stopping....its been a miracle that I found this diet. I wish I had found in years ago.
I remember doing the WW diet with my mom back in the early 1970's. I was in my teens and I was hungry all the time. I drank lots of coffee and tea to help curb my appetite. My mom smoked double her usual amount of cigarettes to curb hers, plus coffee and tea. WW didn't work long term! Keto is 100% better!
My mom did WW back in the late mid-1970s when they didn’t have product except a cookbook. I remember asking her why they had so much bread or toast in their meals since I knew it was a starch with no nutrition. Never got a good answer.
@@karinhart489 👍 Well, I remember that that was back when the American Heart Association was recommending people eat LOTS of carbs and whole grains for heart health. It caused a wave of obesity and diabetes.
@@valerier4308, yes they were pushing brand muffins when my fried had bi-pass surgery in the mid-1980s.
@@karinhart489 yes, toast with cheese. I remember eating that when I went to WW meetings with my sister. I was probably 15 at the time.
I started WW in 1974…a 19 yr old mother-daughter special, without success …..started many more times over 30 yrs until I discovered keto……
I did Weight Watchers for a couple of years. I quickly learned that if I ate mostly zero points foods throughout the day, then I could use up the bulk of my points on chips and oreos in the evening. Needless to say, this led to zero success, but I faithfully stayed within my WW points range doing it, which, according to WW, should have led to me losing weight. Keto has been a godsend for me.
The Calorie Con at work!
I love Keto. Went from 204 to 172.4 from 04/04/2021 till today. Still going strong. Thanks Dr Berry for this info
That’s awesome ! Any special food favorites that helped you meet this goal ? Do you fast?
Bravo, YOU!!
I fast 18:6 with a few 24 hour fast in between. I keep my carbs under 20 grams . I also walk 3-4 days a week
That's 32 lbs. in 12 weeks!!! Are you a male?
@@RG-hf4et no female
Don’t feed the Oprah
I was a WW way back in the late 70's then on and off till 2016 when I started keto. I have never looked back. I am 68 and I am in the best health of my life. Keep it going Dr. Berry. One of the major things that made me leave WW is the idea that you can have your cake and eat it too. For sugar addicted folks (that would be me) all the treats they offer do not extinguish that sugar addiction. It jus perpetuates the cravings not to mention not having any nutritional value.
I love you. So clear and down to earth. 90 lbs and holding. The last little bit is stubborn but I will always eat this way. Aside from the weight loss, my chronic pain is gone, my acid reflux is gone and I’m on no meds.50 years old
Congrats Lisa. I’m right there with you. I Lost 87 pounds since October 23, 2020. Keto, IF, and some gradual exercise have changed my life. I’ve even been able to start running again. Never thought I would run another 10K (nonstop) in my life, but Keto and unbreakable willpower has changed my life. It hasn’t always been easy but nothing good in life is ever easy. At least for me it isn’t.
My sister has powdered butt syndrome. She does weight watchers and will not listen to me because I'm the youngest. I've lost 75 lbs and reversed my diabetes and all other ailments. Off all meds!!! She's lost nothing and goes to the gym 4 days a week with a hired personal trainer. I give up trying to help her because she thinks she knows everything. But look at me kicking ASS and reversing ailments. Woooohoooo! Thank you for all the great videos. You helped save my life. Lots of love from Texas!
It's called weight watches because you can watch their members putting on weight!
🤣🤣🤣 Hilarious!
@@ladiuneeq9789 And true.
😂😂
Hahahahahah
Thats BS
Best thing about Keto is all I count are slices of bacon, ounces of steak, and pounds lost. Thank you Lord for healthy food you provide us.
Kelly Hayes. Please tell me how MANY slices of bacon………how MANY ounces of steak ? So, are you saying you are on the Carnivore Diet ? No eggs, no salads. JUST steak and bacon ? PLEASE help me, Kelly ! I am rather desperate because of diabetes plus non-alcohol cirrhosis of my liver. Thank you ! ❤️
@@carolcole570 the best thing I did was follow Dr. Fung’s plan for fasting. He has a bunch of free videos as well. That taught me the difference between hunger and cravings. Controlling when I eat helped me control what I eat. Everyone will have a different tolerance for carbs. I can have veggies, but I prefer low carb ones.
Sugar and processed food are the devil - period.
Your personal activity level and goals are important too in deciding how to proceed. I would work with your physician and develop a plan for you.
Intermittent fasting is like magic. Mix in a clean diet and you can have amazing results. Best wishes for success and a healthier you.
Amen!
@@carolcole570 fasting+ carnivore=magic
@@michelesteward5170 . Thank you ! So, now all I will put into my body everyday is a small piece of steak. Period. Appreciate it, Michele.
Keto changes your relationship with food. Admittingly I've fallen off the keto wagon and have had more carbs....I can only say it's definitely an addiction. The feeling I get when I eat bread and chips. It's heaven. But leaves me tired and grumpy. I'm looking forward to getting right back on that keto wagon from now on 👍👊💪
here is something weird that happens to me. sometimes i get stuck on a weight for days and days, i wont gain anything but i plateau and stop losing. then like, i will be at church and they sometimes have single serving bags of potato chips. so, i will eat one and when i step one the scale the next day i have lost a pound or two? it has happened twice like that?
Just keep your carbs below 150g and your weight will fall of and also you can have carbs
63yrs old, LC/IF for 8 weeks. Down 10kgs. Normal to low BP now and stopped my meds. Stopped nexium and reflux is not quite gone yet but much improved. No hunger at all, and mostly do OMAD. I finally think I’ve found a sustainable eating pattern to benefit my health. Thank you!
Doctor Berry, I think you are an amazing doctor/person.
When my mom first started WW, a hundred years ago, was a pretty good way of eating. They told you to eat liver once a week, no sugar, less carbs. But, now it’s about eating what you want just count your points. I don’t know how they stay in business.
Especially when veganism allows people to eat anything they want all day long. Either count 'points' or just eat veg to your hearts' content. I'm just saying veganism sounds like a more attractive offer.
@@enigmatistic8470 , the people that I know that are Vegan take lots of supplements. Sounds like they can’t get everything they need from vegetables.
@@wyokat1335 Absolutely correct. Most people are either unaware that supplements are a scam or don't care.
They're not in business.
They're in the racket of advertising their business!.
Dr Berry is a hands on genius of Cause and Effect. Science to the hilt and a heart of Blood and gold. Gracious, generous; a real Doctor...
@@enigmatistic8470 I gained on the vegan diet back in the 80s and messed up my thyroid. Did all the combining, etc. No junk food. Malnutrition and PMS. Lots of people gain on the vegan diet. Anyone who is carb sensitve. I went on it as the lie was you could eat healthy, cheap by eating vegan.
However my friend stayed very slim on the vegan diet. She did it for the cause, etc. Very slim. However, she was always tired. Massive mood swings. Skin turned yellow, except just before fainting. Then she went green gray. Found out her organs were grey. Her liver had bumps. Her uterus turned white and her overies disappeared. She stopped producing hormones.
Oh, and while I was helping her with some repairs, her neighbours said how nice it was that I was helping my mom out. She is younger.
I am so glad I was one of the many people who try the diet and gained instead of losing. The damage from years of veganism will never truly be fixed .
Weight watchers is a money making machine.
*Was*
So is KETO ijs
I love KETO but don't be fooled people are making a fortune selling legitimate KETO as well as KETO CRAP to people
Before Jean Nidetch sold Weight Watchers in 1977 to the HEINZ CO … I joined it was &1-$2 per meeting….in the early 1970s
@@rozferrell1838 absolutely correct. The keto treats are a great way to fall off keto, and pad the pockets of the sellers.
We each need to relearn nutrition and eat real food! Keto helped me reset my system and become well, processed high carb cheap foods are how I got sick.
@@hollyhopalong7405 Not just about cheap. WW is expensive and none of the 'meals' they send you are unprocessed food.
Great study! I had tried WW several times always with hopes that I could stick to it and reach my weight loss goal, but it never worked for me! Undoable. Just undoable. Four years ago I tried keto for the first time and what a change. Eventually after the first couple of months I started IF and the weight just melted away. I ended up losing 43 pounds in 9 months. I am currently mostly ketovore-carnivore. The weight is still off. My goal is to continue to add more lean muscle mass and to change my body composition by continuing to eat ketovore-carnivore and lifting heavy. So far, it is going great!
I have been on ww 8 different times first time I was 10 years old. I am now 57. Every time lossed 20 to 30 lbs after 3-4 months would stop losing weight and after about 6 months I would give up tired of being hungry all the time and not getting any wear. Started doing keto 12/1/20 and have lost 53 lbs and still loosing have 90% less pain and swelling in my right knee and able to walk 5 miles every other day. Hoping to get back to every day soon. Even if I stop losing weight I will continue with keto just for how much better I feel. But hope I continue to lose I would like to lose 60-70 more.
I’ve been on the carnivore diet since February 5th, I’ve lost 104 pounds to date…….went from a size 50 pants to size 38…thank you to Dr. Berry and the carnivore diet. I could not confirm that I had GERD but my symptoms were tell tale of it, I had terrible heart burn at night no matter what time I ate. I work in construction and I can finally jump into basement pits we dig and jump out of them as well. I haven’t operated this smooth in years. Thank you Dr Berry
Fantastic!!
Amazing! Well done!
I am someone who has done both. I lost 50 pounds on Weight Watchers and right before I hit my goal, I knew I was in trouble. I was seriously hungry all the time and "maintenance" was not going to be much better. I gained it all back plus more. How depressing! The good news is that now, at age 50 (and perimenopausal), I have lost 31 pounds in 3 months pretty effortlessly and I am satisfied and satiated ALL THE TIME. I am not obsessing about food or counting calories. A ketogenic way of eating and intermittent fasting are LIFE CHANGING. Thanks, Dr. Berry, for all that you do. You've had a huge impact on me.
Good job Dr Berry. Thanks for sharing.
Love this study, Dr. Berry, thanks for sharing!
This is one of your best videos. Thank you Doctor.
My man did it again!! Thank you for all your research and dedication!! You have said this over and over again but now you have a study to prove it!!! You saved my life!! ❤️❤️❤️
Another Awesome video Thanks Much Love ❤❤❤
Thanks Doc, good communication.
thank you Dr. Berry ! You are making a difference in my life, all the way over here in Yokohama, Japan! 💛💚💙💜
...and here in Spain!
No contest...Keto and Intermittent Fasting are the key to rejuvenating your body back to health.
Thank goodness for all of the sound (free) advice offered on Dr Berry's channel 💕
Thank you for this video. I’ve been struggling on which way to go with a healthy food plan. I’ve watched lots of your videos and I am now convinced Keto is the way to go. After having Covid twice and the 2nd time the virus attacked my liver I’ve given up soft drinks for 6 weeks now, no processed food of any kind, but still have days where I struggle with sugar. I want to do the Ketovore but the sugar cravings some days are horrible. Anyway, thank you for all you and your wife are doing 😊
Well, I subscribed and feel good about subscribing. It seems so pleasing, eating fats and salads, bacon and eggs, and no sugars, no carbs, and for me it has been easy this first month, and my dieter-morale is way up! And the Tennessee accent is a bonus.
I've been reading some of the great comments and wanted to add a few of my own. Since doing Keto(I will be honest, probably 90%) and Intermittent Fasting(at least 18 hrs a day) I rarely have hunger pains. If I do, I have a glass of water. After eating my main meal I don't even think of food the rest of the day. I have 2 friends that were doing WW and now are adopting K and I F and just told me this morning. Then this
video comes out. Perfect! I had sent some others on Friday. I have learned alot from you Dr Barry. At 69, I feel great. Never get on a scale but go by my clothes. We can do it! 🙏🏻💪❤
Congratulations 🎊🎊 On finally getting FAST Internet.
Great video.
I tried weight watchers for years. I was told to eat those carbs. Get that one donut a week. Eat until you don’t go over your points. I never last more than 1/2 pound a week. Carbs are not my friend.
I’m on WW and it works, it’s easy to use, however you do have to learn enough about Keto to modify the points system to deal with carbs.WW has three different models by colors . Some of the models are more carb conscious than others. You have to restrict the bread and the fruit. And stay away from their snack foods. But yes it’s easy, cheap, the app is user friendly and weighing in regularly really helps.
Just read the title of this video and listened to 2 sentences of our fav 'shoot from the hip' doctor. I can imagine the rest of the video. Btw, Weight Watchers is STILL around? LOL! Greetings from Spain! (Now I listen to the rest of the video :-) ) Said it so many times: DIETS such as WW don't work...The Ketogenic way is a lifestyle choice. That works.
I agree! 👍🙂
Thank you! I’m a former WW fan - who did well the first few times… but weight quickly rebounded. Max list was 11 lbs (target being 18 lbs); started Keto in Feb 2021 at advice of my Oncologist and dropped. 22 lbs within 6 weeks and am completely stable with my weight. No looking back! 😎
Great video! I’m always ready for any info on the proper human diet. I started with Keto 3 1/2 months ago and eventually went to Ketovore. Now, I seem to be going to Carnivore. These are absolutely the best ways to lose weight and get healthy. Thanks much for all that you and Neisha do. 👍
Thank you, doctor.
I cringe when I hear someone say they are on weight watchers lol. Point counting. Ew.
Right? I count nothing, my body doesn't do arithmetic 🤗🌹
@@pittsburgh-gal yes! I had a ribeye, eggs, bacon and a small bit of broccoli at lunch. Guess who still isn't hungry?! 😆
Poor souls wasting their money and making their life miserable.
I've lost over 40 lbs in less than 2 months and haven't counted a single calorie. I'm not even super strict on keto either. I do a combination of keto and longer fasts. I do occasionally eat some carbs, just because I can get away with it due to fasting. I probably would have lost more if I was more strict but I don't feel miserable one bit.
@@brittcwilli89 I had someone brag to me about how WW was so good and I did try it. They've done it 3 times.
Guess who doesn't have a filter 🙋
Me too!
Thank you doc
...” On their own, in the wild...” 💪🏻🔥👏
I love it and I certainly can relate!!! Thanks 🙏🏻
I'm 61 and I've been trying this now for the past week. Well, suddenly, my acid reflux is gone! I've cut out bread, potato chips, corn chips, etc... I've got an appointment in September with VA, so hopefully by then I'll have lost quite a lot of weight and my BP (which they're always b***ching about, lol) will be much lower.
I wish there was a LOVE option for YT. Thank you Dr Berry for sharing this....it's ironic though that every video I watch of yours is preceded by a WW ad.🤔
Thank You
Done many many eat less move more nothing worked till keto now ketovore loss 100 lbs kept it off for two yrs so. Far
I lost 50 lbs on ww but started gaining it back because I struggled with being hungry all the time! It was a real battle trying to keep that weight off for the next 6 years. So glad I came across keto! I started doing it because it made me feel better physically, the weight loss was a nice side benefit.
I tried weight watchers among others and in a couple of months my weight stalled and made me feel so angry and frustrated the calories restriction. Keto is working for me! I've lost 33 pounds in less than 3 months and I feel great. I have to say I do IF too. Thank you for your videos!🌺
Excellent advice, right here.👍
TFS, this important information with us all,
& take care everybody. ❤🙂🐶
I started my weightloss journey and type 2 control at weight watchers. At they time they did not have any diabetes helps in their app or counting of points. Well, they told me fruit was a zero point food and fruit was my favorite food! In 3 months my a1c went up not down. I had no idea why. My doctor who loved WW told me about intermitten fasting and in the process of researching that I found you and keto. My husband and I are starting a 40 carnivore run but in the past haven't had much success. I hope we figure it out.
You are one of the reasons i got a diploma in keto and another in nutrition.
Thank you.
I love this man!
Sustainability is key. Understanding that our bodies are driven by hormones and not calories is key too!
A dietary regime that does not involve being locked into commercialisation or a dependency on a particular brand or cult is the most attractive in my view. Back to basics. Real food. Balance. Teach someone these and you give them a lifelong sustainable skill.
Thank you Dr Berry for your continued work.
I’ve been on a Weight Watchers program on and off for almost 40 years until I discovered keto……you are half right Dr Berry..it didn’t start 30 years ago..……Weight Watchers started in 1960 by Jean Nidetch (I read her book) I knew my grandmother had gone to weight watchers in the early 1970s and she had lost weight…..I started in 1974, I was 19 and at that time 20 -25 lbs overweight……according to that archaic weight chart they’ve had for decades…….That program was in a brochure type booklet….it was pink and easy to follow…$1-2 a meeting…but not exactly keto they did allow you 2 slices of bread a day for women 3 slices a day for men …no bacon…but absolutely no processed sugar….
Jean Nidetch received her weight loss program from a hospital in New York..and started a support group in her apartment basement for people who wanted to lose weight, now fast forward to 1977 when she sold her WW business to the Heinz co….!!!!L they turned into a money making machine …….the diet drastically changed and now you could have that sliver of cake or pie!!! Oh come on now…..no one can eat a sliver of anything with sugar in it…I want the whole cake or pie! Weight Watchers now is designed to for you to fail, bc Heinz knows that you’ll have to restart over & over$$$$ it took me years to figure out what they were doing……I lost a total of 40lbs following that complicated program but always gained it back…..unsustainable!
Thumbs up and subscribed!
I was all about keto for four years. Most days I kept carbs below 20 and always below 50. I did lose weight…IF I kept calories below 1200. I *had* to count calories to lose and then maintain weight loss. After four years I decided if I was going to be doing counting I may as well eat foods I missed. First two weeks on WW I lost almost nine pounds, all by counting points. I think before people trash talk something they should have experience with it. Make an informed decision.
Totally agree with you. To say 'This is the only way to lose weight/be healthy' is just crazy. I personally know many people who have lost the weight and kept it off with WW. They are very happy and healthy.
Congratulations, you've discovered the universal truth about human nutrition. Regardless of the style of eating you choose, to burn fat you have to run a calorie deficit. There's no two ways about it. The elephant in the room is that fasting is the ultimate method for running a calorie deficit, and nobody in the low carb community will talk about it. They act as if it's magic and it's not.
@@JohnBarrow1961 - Thanks for putting that out there so succinctly.
I joined Weight Watchers in 1971 before it became corporatized and was very successful on it. Of course, I was 20 years old and still metabolically healthy. I revisited the original WW food plan after I started keto just to compare. Original WW included milk, bread (in limited quantity), and fruit. Other than the bread, there were no grains, no starches, and no sugars except what occurred naturally in the fruit. I ate liver once a week, fish 5 times a week, and red meat 3 times a week. Dinner was six ounces of protein -- very satisfying. The only thing I wonder about is if we were getting all the essential fatty acids we needed because no added fat was allowed. In hindsight the artificial sweeteners were probably not a good idea in the long run, because they kept our taste for sweets alive and well. I estimated that the daily carb level was about 90g. That would never work for me today, not after a lifetime of eating the Standard American Diet and wrecking my metabolic health. But it worked great for a 20yo, and probably still would. But that's not what they market today. Today it's "eat whatever you want, just count the points." That is not a recipe for success. On keto I have lost 70 pounds, my HbA1c is optimal (no idea what it was before), and I wake up each day with the energy to walk 5 miles!
Yeah. I “watch” my weight. The more I watch it, the more I realize how easy it is to see!
I don't need an app to do keto but I surely appreciate your videos Dr Berry...they reassure me and validate this wayward (to those not in the know) way of eating.
My favorite Doctor!
I’ve been on keto for 3 months. Lost 56 lbs and lowered my A1C from 8.8 to 6.0 my doctor was amazed . He said he can only count the number of times on one hand, the number times he had seen this kind of turn around. He lowered my dosage of meds too ! So grateful
Hi Dr. Berry. I have a question for you. I discovered your channel through your video CURE Toenail Fungus (And keep it gone forever). Did you or your wife ever had toenail fungus? If so, did it go away? If anyone in the comments can tell me how keto affected their toenail infection, I would be eternally grateful.
I just started Keto three weeks now because I have type 2, fatty liver, high blood pressure and over weight. Even though you put out a video about fat and LDL HDL etc. I have no room for errors, I am scarred...all my life I have tried to stay away from Saturated fat, Chelestoral, Triglycerides, etc. This does not show the results of those tests. I did loose 30 lbs, I started dieting a week before Keto then I found you and Dr Berg so decided to give Keto a try.
Love you videos... I learn so much. Do you have any videos on why Salivary Glands would slow down production of saliva to a scant level?
Love doing carnivore-so easy. A friend at work is doing WW and of course it’s all about the “points” which just seems too complicated to me. She thought it was weird that I only eat once, maybe twice a day. Did a 40-hour fast (Friday 8:30-Sunday 12:30) then had NY strip steak with a side of shrimp in homemade Alfredo sauce. I’ll be good now until tomorrow evening.
Great video DR. Barry.
in the seventies I tried weight watchers using their book, lost some gained it back. Worked at pritican followed their books lost 100lb, gained it all back plus more. They were kind folks.
For 5 years I haven't gained weight and lost
My diabetes, and Cancer.
Last scan none found. Better healthy than slim.
And lost my big belly.
My belly button is very tiny now. I never weigh my self now and don't care what I weigh. It's not important.

Yepper..... I started watching you after my Doc said Lose weight, Im down to 267lbs from 305 in 10 weeks. You ROCK DOC! Carb free till I hit 210lbs!!!!
At age 73 I have been on WW several times. I have made my goal weight twice. The last time just before Covid arrived. I don't have a lot especially bad to say about WW but for those of us who have done the program I will tell you we have discussed in our meetings how the changes in their program have moved it closer and closer to a keto style diet. WW is always analyzing the data they collect on each participant's progress and they change their plan accordingly, at least to some extent. I could go on but suffice to say I am now on a nearly carnivore diet, doing well and following your utube channel closely.
I loss a lot of weight on Ww in 2012. The only thing I had cravings for during my journey on Ww all I craved SUGAR. Now on keto and intermittent fasting I never crave sugar. Also on Ww I was always hungry every few hours. Keto I have a hard time eating enough!
I went on WW last year and I felt TERRIBLE. I was always starving, bloated, tired, couldn't lose past the initial 10 pounds. After 4 months I felt like I was losing muscle (and my sanity!) and stopped. Been doing Paleo but still sick due to all the plant toxins (almonds, sweet potato etc) even though I was slowly losing weight. It was better but still not returning my health to me. Can't wait to transition fully to Carnivore, just started and am already in less pain etc.
Hi, Dr. Berry! I lost 38lbs in 7 months doing keto. I was getting a lot of pressure from family to start just allowing myself sweets and breads "in moderation". It really ramped up after an in-law relative suffered a stroke and the ER doctor told him his keto diet was to blame.
So, I caved. Went off the rails and gained 29lbs back. I got a promo email from WW and decided to sign up. I have been doing WW for a month and have only lost 1lb and I'm starving! I compared my WW points against calories and I'm consuming under 1200 calories a day and the scale isn't moving. I'm seriously considering going back to keto and just avoiding the ketofied sweet treats.
Would just like to say....I have finally been able to start my "carnivore" journey...!!
My primary goal is to FEEL BETTER, not so much for weight loss (even though that would be a great side effect). I am on day 7. I'm sure it will take a little while before the inflammatory issues will improve, I have lost 10.2 pounds which surprised the heck outta me!!! I'll keep on....commited to 30 days!!!!
Same if I loose it’s a bonus but I’m never trying to loose again
Congrats! Stay the course. You will start to see the inflammatory issues slowly disappear. I'm a living witness. Took about 6 months for me to cure my inflammatory disease (my case was severe), but it feels so good to be able to get up and walk without pain and feeling tired.
I've been trying Keto for a couple months and I've already went from 233 to 213 lbs (I'm a 6'1 male) with limited exercise. My initial goal is 170 at the same muscle mass. The reason I've limited non-aerobic exercise is that I want to make sure I don’t get famished and then overeat.
Once I'm fat adapted, with a higher metabolism that can support the increased energy expenditure (without crashing after a workout like I used to) I'll increase my workouts as my metabolism leads. I want my metabolism to guide my exercise level.
After I reach ~15% body fat I'll focus on muscle definition and hopefully won't have the effects of glycogen depletion.
I lost 50 lbs on weight watchers 7 years ago. I kept it off until covid hit at the same time I went through menopause. After menopause it quit working. Even then I mostly ate 0 pt foods which were lean proteins and veggies. I do like the phrase ketovore and lean more this direction. Thank you for your videos! Love the information
I've been living the keto lifestyle for over two years. It not only brought my weight down but helped so very much with PsA! I have a question for you though...I have maintained this weight loss for years but can't get the 10 or 15 more lbs I'd like to get off. I eat one meal a day, have no gallbladder and fast. Salad ( which I love) causes me to gain! Help!
Annalee, are you sure you mean PsA (Prostate Specific Antigen)?? I have a similar problem losing the last 5 pounds (for me 2.5 kilos). Although I do IF (intermittent fasting) alternating with OMAD (one meal a day both very eas for me) I suspect my over confidence having lost 13 kilos (roughly 26 pounds) and regular wine or occasional gin and tonic has interfered with reaching a ketogenic state, let alone autophagy. It is easy for me to cut out the obvious carbs (grains, potatoes etc) but those in wine etc not so easy. We have great wines here in Spain! LOL! Plus, lately I think I have been eating tooo much protein in addition. I feel I was much more aware and careful when I first started the keto way about 3 years ago. Perhaps similar is happening with you...too much protein or carbs sneaking into the daily plan?
@@misottovoce lol! Pretty sure I don't have a prostate problem! It's short for Psoriatic Arthritis. I don't have any sneaky carbs that I can think of. I never drink and am very careful to not eat carbs because they make the inflammation so much worse. I hope you are well and enjoying the summer! Spain is beautiful! I enjoyed visiting years ago. I'm old now but remember my time there fondly! Thanks for your reply.
Annalee, I also love salads, and vegetables. But as crazy as it sounds on the surface maybe you need to really cut back on even those carbs. That’s why I say I do low carb not keto. I think I eat too many vegetables for keto. But for me that’s good for now. I think our bodies need something different at different times. For you maybe you should jump start yourself again and cut way down on the vegetables. Doesn’t mean a lifetime. See what happens. Of course with intermittent fasting. Dr Westmen is another keto dr I listen to, along with Berg and others. Get as much information as you can and see what your body needs in this moment. Blessings. 🌻🌎🐱🌹
@@misottovoce your post could be mine. I just don’t want to give up my daily wine. After all, I am 90 years old and how much time do I have left. You can’t give up everything. I eat very well and some days it is just meat and eggs. I do take a few supplements including d3 and k2. Also astaxanthin and black seed oil. Some others like b vitamins. I never get sick but I do get tired. Old age for sure does that.
It's funny that you posted a video about this. These are the two diets I'm considering. My doctor didn't recommend IF for me. She said that would make my insulin resistance worse.
If you don't try IF you wil never know. Start 16/8 then your body will tell you when you can move to 17/7 and befor you know it you will be 20/4 with eating only during 4 hours window.
Unless your doctor can explain that hypothesis, I'd consider a new doctor. How could reducing your insulin production and giving your body a break from those demands make your insulin resistance worse? The logic doesn't hold, unless there's a different underlying problem.
Doctor Berry I have been on the keto diet low carb for 4 years I was a chronic person with gout and knee pain was 60 pounds over wait knee pain dental problems. Well lost 60 pounds do not get the goat thank God my teeth are as healthy as can be and my knees have no pain and really I do not have a pain in my body. Just want to say thank you. When you try to share this with people they think I am crazy?but I am a total believer and have proof that it does all that you say. Thank you soooooo much
Keto is legit, no doubt. I've been ketovore now for two years and I can personally attest to its authenticity and potency. No argument here. However, I'm also discovering that macros are important to monitor, and adjust portion sizes accordingly, at least for me anyway. As I approached and maintained my body's healthy natural weight, while still on ketovore and consuming 2kcal per day, I experimented with eating slightly larger portions of meat (additional 500 calories), while maintaining the regular and consistent serving sizes of my usual salad (control). After approximately two months, my body weight increased eight pounds..I also felt a little sluggish. Now I'm back to a strict 2kcal diet, ketovore, and my body weight dropped and energy returned. Just sharing to help others who might be struggling with the weight and energy.
Women are different than men and that absolutely must be taken into account. Our hormones or lack of them most definitely affect keto experiences.
@@raven-keeper Right. I'm male, however, and portion size has absolutely proven to be in direct relationship to my weight and energy. The advice of "eating until we're comfortably full" is far too vague and open to many different interpretations. For me, whether I'm keto, ketovore or carnivore: macros (i.e. calories) absolutely matter.
What is the specific keto app you are referring to? Anyone know? There are so many so I want to make sure I get the correct one. Thank you!
Dr. Berry, does vaping affect diabetes or ketosis during keto diet?
Lost over 50 pounds since going KETO on March 28th and still loosing. My 90 day labs coming up on July 8th since my last check up. Confident there will be massive changes in my A1-C and others.
I swore by ww, I did ww approx 20 years ago and did lose weight, after 3 children it was my go to to lose weight... I tried following WW (the newer method) and was starving and weight didn't budge... I found my old stuff and used that.... would lose 1lb then regain it the following week... I didn't budge at all.... I started Keto following a specially formulated meal plan, just over 9 weeks ago after following you for approx 2 to 3 years.... so now here goes my results... I'm down to prepregnancy weight... having not been so in 16 years!!! I have lost 12lb and 11inches, all over, my hormone imbalance is balancing out, I don't experience severe mood swings around my cycle, I've been perimenopausal for 13yrs. Initially starting keto I was scared with how much calories I'd be eating.... it was double what ww was giving me... Keto works. Now I'm doing Keto Cycling and I'd never look back.
I’ve lost 165lbs on weight watchers, don’t knock it. I eat everything in moderation, never felt better. No restrictions on food groups. Weight watchers is more about behavior! 💁♀️
Also have kept it off for 8 years!
"Semi-starvation calorie restriction Weight Watchers diet" 🤣🤣🤣. That should be their ad slogan!
Hey doc! I love this way of eating. But I'm curious to know why my digestion would start to back fire. Things were running smoothly and then all of the sudden not so much. Should I back off on the fat?
Too much fat can do that. I tried bulletproof coffees with MCT and butter and was miserable. The lack of carbs is the big deal. Not gorging on fat.
My sister is WW and she's been trying to get me to do it with her. Last time I did WW, I was constantly starving, tired, and completely bored with the food I could eat. I eat less on keto because it's more filling, plus I'm learning more about nutrition and what my body needs for health.
Dropped 36 pounds in 6 weeks on a keto/carnivore diet. Keep preaching the truth, Dr. Berry.
I tried WW a long time ago. I HATED it. I was hungry all the time and constantly thinking about food. You have to plan your meals and weigh or measure everything while trying to figure out how many points everything is. It was awful!
BTW, the lady that originally started WW based her diet on the ADA diet and was really trying to improve her health. Too bad we've been lied to for so long about diet and health. I finally came to the conclusion that to understand why they lie you have to follow the money. For instance, milk does a body good is something we were taught from marketing dairy. It's about money! They convince you it's about health but that's because health advertising sells. The government does the food groups and food pyramids. These are produced by the Department of Agriculture. For health? No way. It's about how funds will be paid out to farmers for what they produce. Politicians vote based on who donated to their campaigns or who votes for them in their districts. It's about money and getting re-elected.
I’ve just started ATKINS DIET and, is it any different to KETO . . . I VALUE YOUR WISE ANALYSIS and enjoy your posts. Thanking You, from NEW ZEALAND🤗
I joined weight watchers after gaining a lot of weight through my pregnancy and even afterwards. I lost 70lbs in 4 months. I was very happy, obviously. But I got diagnosed with Graves’ disease. They we not able to manage that through medicine so I had a total Thyroidectomy. I gained 100 lbs. I was miserable. I now am feeling better than ever on a keto diet paired with IF.
Good stuff
I know this question has probably been asked and answered before, but I haven't yet found it.
Years ago l had a section of my colon removed because of a horrendous case of diverticulitis. It was completely successful and vastly improved the quality of my life. The only lasting side effect has been a little bit of constipation. This diet works for me, however, the constipation problem quickly becomes unmanageable and I am eventually forced to add the carbs back in.
What can I do about this...and should I expect my system to eventually acclimate?
