I'm on my 12th week! But mostly of my diet was high protein low fat.. Last week I changed that so I'm high fat moderate protein now. Carnivore diet cured my depression and CFS, such a miracle!
This is exactly my experience. Started keto primarily to lose weight. Lost 1st and 2nd weeks and then stalled for TWO whole weeks. I was gutted and nearly threw in the towel :( I added OMAD to keto and now into my 3rd month....it's great! Lost my craving for potatoes and bread. Did my first 48hrs fast beginning of the month with no hunger issues. Not worried about the weight any more. The losses have just become a positive side effect of feeling good :) :) Thank you for your uploads, they kept me on course when I was ready to give in!
It took me nearly 3 months to lose even the FIRST pound, and that was on 100% keto, no cheating. It has been over a year; I’ve only lost 40 lbs (80 to go). I still crave chocolate and expect to deal with those cravings for the rest of my life. Even fasting 2 full days per week hasn’t stepped up the weight loss. Carrots, tomatoes, peas (and other legumes) have all been forbidden foods from the beginning. Dodging the leg cramps has been iffy at best since one can only stand to eat just so much kale, and the sweetened preparations from Dr. Berg all contain sugar alcohols that my body sees as an exceedingly strong laxative. All I can do is maintain the keto and be patient for those other 80 lbs.
@@angelhelp try going toward a more "carnivore" diet, more healthy fat, and actually much less "fibre", I know not actually Dr B protocol. But try it for a week or so. Healthy fat from good beef sources, I think you'll be surprised at the results.... o, don't forget to supplement your electrolytes- very important!
For me, it's the 4th week. hardcore weight lifting on fasting without losing energy and not feeling hungry even after exercise. It's an amazing transformation.
Same bro its OMAD for me fasting keto ,working out on empty stomach at 9 am till 11 am then i Start putting some protein on my system at 2 pm ,Incline dumbell press 38kg x10 bench press 225 lbs x2 i weight 68kg shredded and muscular on KETO and fasting,my skin is clear no acné no problems 🐔🎇
I knew I was fat adapted when my energy levels rocketed, along with the excess weight disappearing like a rocket! I would say it took 8 weeks for it to kick in properly.
My mind is set to : GET HEALTHY 1st and the rest follow. You inspired my life and the life of my family immensely, we can reverse a lot of damage . I am so glad I found you
You can overcome the addiction with fasting, just have to stay with it longer. When you test your urine for ketones, eventually you see it and at that point your body is converting fat to food. No more hunger. No such thing as craving, appetite will cease. Happened about 22 hrs for me. Just go longer each time you attempt it, if you feel bad and have to stop. Don’t do calorie restrictive diet. And weight yourself every day same time.
Although I know quite a lot about the keto ‘diet’, and have watched a load of your (excellent) videos, I still find it incredibly useful to be re-grounded in the basics of the regime - and this video of yours was brilliant for that, thanks very much.
Same here. If what Dr. Berg says is actually true, then the principles won’t change! Nothing wrong with learning those principles and then driving those pylons in deep.
I just want to tell you I really appreciate all the information that you giving us it did change my life really I use to be diabetic number 2 and lost 40 pound now I am not diabetic I did fasting and very hard exercise running for 1 hour every day for only four months is really easy when you make a decision I am watching your video for about 2 years THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH is not enough for everything you do I learn a lot from you really thanks again I forgot to mention I am 57 years old
I started keto and doing omad (sometimes 2) right from the first day. I had a light headache for 2 or 3 days but I didn't have any trouble adapting to what was a huge change in my diet. I was able to do 48+ hour fasts easily after a couple of weeks, and did a 48hr dry fast no problem. I didn't track macros the first month and only really did it for about a month before stopping. I'm down 57lbs in a little over 3 months. Still another 75-100lbs to go, but keto changed my life and for me it all started after watching a Dr Berg video. Thanks for saving my life doc!
Been on keto/IF for three weeks and some friends came over yesterday that I saw just before I started keto and they didn’t recognise me because I’ve lost so much weight. I feel great, have no sugar cravings and more energy and my back pain is gone. My mood has stabilised and I fit into my clothes a lot better.
Thank you so much this video came right on time. I’ve started keto again and this time I was noticing that I’m not losing weight as fast as I did before so I was getting frustrated. I now realize 3 weeks in that I need to just be patient and continue doing what I’m doing. You’re a blessing thank you 🙏🏽
You’re 💯 correct. I train heavily for Spartan races and started keto about 3-4 weeks ago…still not fat adapted…feels horrible, but I know I’ll get there. I did keto for about 7 years straight in the past, but fell outta it….just cant wait to get readapted to get energy back and to sleep better.
@@emankadem7515 keep going, dont forget you can have bone broth or other drinks.. my first long fast the first day I was really restless.. I went to just off 3 days without a hitch. Day 2 is easier, just keep hydrated with electrolites.. put ACV and lemon in your water and sip often.
I've been listening to you in the UK for 2 weeks and I'm so glad I found this video. I lost a lot in the first week and don't feel as though I've lost anything this week. This has just reassured me to keep going. 12 weeks is cool now I know.
I'm an elder. I began keto around a year ago. It took until a month ago for my diabetic issues from decades of carb addiction to begin to fade... granted, I "give in" to carbos on occassion. However, since my blood sugar has been tamed, my body processes them quickly without any undesirable effects. I don't think I've become fat adapted yet, but my blood sugar has greatly improved, and my health is changing for the better. Most note worthy, my once enlarged prostate is now normal. Phew! Dodged that bullet. I've so many peers with prostate issues. I suggest the diet. Since most are vegans, vegetarians who on occasion eat fish or chicken, they look at my diet and think me crazy, with a death wish. Sticking with it.....
I have a few friends I should send this video to, but I won't 😂.. they tried and failed miserably on keto. Wouldn't listen to a word I said. So now they are on the "keto doesn't work" train 🙄.. meanwhile I'm seeing results and feeling amazing 😃..
@@jaysoncabral3347 That's right. I can't tell my daughter about it bc she doesn't want to listen but I can lead by example and let her see the results.
I am only 17 years old. I Consider myself lucky to find out about your channel. I was getting acne like crazy and I found about your channel. I was eating alot of carbs which caused my insulin to go up and then lead to me having acne. I would've never gotten rid of my acne if it wasn't because of this channel. Thanks Dr. Berg😊🥰
This video came up at just right time for me. Weeks 2 and especially 3 were really challenging as I wasn't seeing change on the scales. And I persisted having learned from this video. Week 6 now and things have really started to shift, mostly my body shape has started to change and the cms tell the real story. I am grateful to you, thank you!
Wow - I have managed to hit those 4 things. I went on a tough hike while fasting.. didn't even think about it and had no problems; didn't eat until my normal time at dinner; I get hungry a lot less often; I generally don't get tired immediately after meals; and I no longer have to get up in the middle of the night to visit the bathroom. I had no idea these meant anything, didn't even think about them until seeing this.
I started keto 5 years ago to improve my athletic performance as an ultra runner. It took me 3 or 4 months to be properly fat adapted. But it was worth it. Now I can run long when fasted and it's great!
This is SO HELPFUL! I have been struggling feeling like I am not in ketosis even though I have been doing this over 2 months. I have lost 25 lbs but have been stalled for weeks as well. I am currently doing a 72 hour fast and finally feeling like I am IN KETOSIS now!
Yes...actually I do a 48 hour fast every week. The last two weeks I tried out a 72 hour fast. The rest of the days of the week, I do an 18:6 IF. This has made me fat adapted. I haven't given up carbs either. It took me around 5 weeks though to get to this point.
That’s incredible progress. No cravings is a huge win. It means ur system is resetting. Brings me joy to c someone win 😊 I pray that u find d best version of urself and then keep thriving 🖖
Oh how I needed to hear this! I am finishing week 4 and have "stalled" in weight loss for a week, now. Even gained 3 pounds while doing the same diet as the first 2 weeks when I lost 10 pounds. I will keep on keeping on! Thank you! I couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Day 6 Keto. It's getting easier each day. I have lost 4 pounds... Probably water weight but my bloating is gone. I've got 50+ pounds to lose. Praying to persevere!🙏
Dr. Berg, thank you so much for doing this video. I swear it's like you're sent from Heaven! I've been trying to follow your advice, in fact I've got my whole family trying to go keto. And for the first week and half I saw quick weight loss but after that the scale has barely moved a pound. I have to admit I've become very frustrated especially when I see so many people on youtube talking about weight just falling off without the even trying. I kept thinking "why not me?" So thank you sooooo much for doing this video because it's provided me with a little more perspective and taught me that I just need to keep doing it, keep being patient and the best is yet to come. THANK YOU! I needed to hear this!!
I was so encouraged to learn it can take some of us as long as 12 WEEKS! I am in week 7 and still not fully in despite being "compliant." I blood test in a hopeful state several times per day!
It's so funny, I'm at exactly the point where I lost all the H2O and stopped dropping pounds since a couple of days. I was wondering if the ride was over but apparently it's just starting! Thanks Dr. Berg!
I felt better, and stopped feeling hunger pangs all the time after 3-4 days. I never had weird side-effects. After 65 days I’ve lost 37 lbs!! It was easy, fun, and I had unexpected health benefits (skin tags disappeared, toenail fungus cleared up, memory has improved, mood has improved, 10-yo BC-carcinoma on my leg has almost disappeared!!).
Just a little extra walking. I started January 10, it’s now mid-May. I’ve now lost 50 lbs! I’m not missing any of the carbs I used to eat. Lily’s dark chocolate and fresh raspberries occasionally is only treat I want. See video by Dr Ken Berry about “I was wrong about exercise” (something like that). He explains that just eating keto with Intermittent Fasting is biggest factor. Comments below confirm that most people agree. One guy said that he was recovering from a broken shoulder and couldn’t move around a lot and he still lost 50 lbs following this plan
Phew! This is the info I needed. Last year I tried keto but quit after my ketones were excessively high and I had my first ever gout attack! (About 5 days in) This time I've been drinking lemon water, which has helped with the gout (I did have some pain but then remembered the lemon water thing). But I'm on day 9 and feel so awful. Been in ketosis (moderate to high) for 6 days and total brain fog, weak, body aches still. I'm post menopausal and have insulin resistance, so ig that's to be expected? I'm taking salt in all my water, eating either omad or 18:6, only carbs are non starchy veg, and taking electrolytes and other recommended supps. But I was despairing because seems like everyone says once you're in ketosis your golden- you should have tons of energy, clarity, etc. No one talks about this window of pain between starting ketosis and being fat adapted. At least that I've found!
This video is very important with respect to the frustration that can occur and the respect for the body needed when your attempts to both fast and cut carbs to lose weight take a long time to get going. Please don't give up, it will occur. Dr. Berg, can you explain a little more thoroughly about the athletic person's situation? I didn't quite get that.
Thank you Dr. Berg for another very informative video. But most of the times I do dirty way of keto cause it's very hard to find organic, pasture raised products here in my country. My clothes size went from XL and now I'm down to medium sized clothes already with the help of keto and IF and of course your videos that you share.
5 weeks into Keto and this is exactly what happened to me. I lost 5pounds in the first 2 weeks then 1 pound in the 3rd week, 0 pound in the 4th week. The only thing keeping me going is the fact that I feel great and Dr Berg’s videos are giving me a heads up as to what to expect. Thank you!
May 15th was 3 months on keto and I’m down a total of 23 pounds 😃 What’s mind blowing is on 2 occasions for one day each i went off the diet but I didn’t gain weight. I didn’t loose either but it was almost as if my body was able to handle it. I’m not going to make a habit of that but it def motivated me to continue. I truly believe that the combo of Keto and IF is key! 75% of the time that’s what I do.
I just lowered my carbs last week to 70 and below & have lost 7 lbs already. I eat at noon and 6pm & drink water plus 2 cups of green tea with sugar. I eat cooked cabbage and perch. Gonna keep going with this until I plateau then lower carbs 10 at a time til I get below 50.
You should do the same video but discuss those who were fat adapted, slipped off Keto and how long it takes to return. Does the time you’ve been off Keto impact how long it takes to return to being fat adapted?
If you’re fat adapted it’s easier & quicker to get back into ketosis & you can speed that up by fasting too. It’s not recommended though & is probably why he doesn’t do videos on it
@@cassierennoldson3185 was on Keto for 1.5 years then dropped off for a year and now back on it for some months already. Curious to know after being off for such a long time if it’s like starting all over again or the body remembers and adapts quicker.
Thanks for this video, I am going through the uric acid phase with swollen and painful foot pain! Maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel for this, I am certainly hoping so!!
Really good to hear, I am getting tired after every fat meal I eat. Was thinking about some food allergies or maybe I just respond bad to fats. But seeing this my body just doesn't know yet what to do with it. Thanks dr Berg!
hi Dr berg plz make video on how to do IF and keto without losing weight i mean I don't want to loose weight im 45kgs so I want to take benefits of IF and keto without losing weight. thanks for making so informative contents. love from 🇬🇧
wow amazing I've been doing IF and low carb for almost 2 months now and I actually experience the early symptons like increase uric acid but now I can do 20 hr fasting and workout while fasting without experiencing much hunger and I surely no longer wake up at night to pee, I can hold it until morning ❤❤
Go OMAD, or do two to three day fasts. Keep exercising to burn cals. Exercise just as much when fasting if not more, doesn’t matter. Find hills to walk briskly UP.
@@robertp7209 I was doing OMAD, hit a plateau..I'm still trying to reach a 24 hour (day of fasting) I do walk hills, I'm trying to pick up the pace tho on hills..Never give up! 💯
@@NoName-pu5ls - why can’t you go longer than 1 day? The struggle is usually the first two days, after that appetite / hunger is gone. Test urine for ketones get the strips off Amazon, weight yourself everyday same time. When you see ketones, you will be converting body fat to fuel. End of eating.
@@robertp7209 not sure why I can't go longer, it's like I feel starved lol..Its a mental thing. Yes I have to buy those strips! Thanks for the advice I'll do it.
@@NoName-pu5ls - drink plenty of water, tea with lemon, black coffee, no calories, hang in there for two days, hunger will cease, keep active. If you get thru two days you will want to keep going.
All this happened faster for me. I was doing strict IF for a month before going full keto. I knew I was fat adapted because for the first time in my adult life, my neck didn't smell (thyroid) and I could actually register feeling cold. For the first time in ten years, I almost bought a coat to wear in winter. Aside from the weight just tearing off and my muscle mass increasing by ten pounds.
My primary dr. recommended a Keto diet for me to try to reverse type 2 diabetes. The first week nearly made me lose my mind. I had a serious sugar addiction. I'm almost a month in now and the results are phenomenal! I have less pain and stiffness with arthritis, I can go longer before getting hungry, vision is clearing up, and I'm dropping weight. My blood glucose levels are normal and I'll have my A1C checked May 5th. I'm still not very active because of a serious foot injury. The Corona virus, sugar/carb addiction and foot injury have been my crutch for far too long. Life is changing for me in my old age.
Thank you, I'm on week 3, just passing through the tough time. Really looking forward to being fat adapted and start losing the weight. I have to go! Thank you dr. Berg
How u feeling now. I m on 2nd week and first week was easy but this 2nd week I have been experiencing some really bad brain fog and low energy and low blood glucose. I hope it pass.
This keto diet is fantastic. I am currently 58 years old and I started at 368.0 lbs with clothes on April 4, 2023 and this morning I weighed 312.0 lbs without clothes....giving that my clothes and stuff weighs between 4-5 lbs....I have lost 51 lbs in 62 days this evening! I started out eating 2 meals a day with intermittent fasting for almost 3 weeks (April 18th, 2023), then switched to OMAD starting April 19th, 2023 thru May 30th, 2023, and now I'm OMAD every other day for the foreseeable future. My goal was to lose 100 lbs. by October 15th, 2023. I am half way towards that goal in 9 weeks! And I have no cravings for CARBS or any food, this diet is a BLAST, it is SO EASY! This is a guy who used to eat Peanut Butter M&Ms, Marshmallows, Gatorade, and Frozen Dinners at NIGHT around Midnight every night! I was a carb addict! As long as I take my Electolytes, B Yeast Tablets, and other supplements with it, this diet is a breeze! I even went 138 hours with Prolonged Fasting (with the above supplements of course) with no problem! Wasn't hungry at all do it! Let's see what's happens between NOW and October 15th. I am pushing the envelope because I'm just not hungry! My true goal is 185.0 lbs by October 15th, 2024 -or- if I plateau, by my 60th birthday on May 16th, 2025!
Key is don't be afraid to push the envelope...I had congestive heart failure diagnosed in March 2020, and I have a stent! High blood pressure is beginning to disapperar, and I'm wearing clothes that I have worn in years! Don't fear this diet, but don't cheat either! You actually lose weight when you sleep on this diet! And if you pee through the night like I used to do, it will STOP IT COLD withing 2 weeks (in my case)!
And this is with NO exercise at this point on this diet...I am planning to add an exercise bicycle in the next few weeks or so, then 'maybe' resistance exercises to tone my bodyat a gym after October 15, 2023, I'll see!
Great video doctor berg. I'm also fat adapted but I didn't go on a keto diet to do it. Since I'm obese, I decided to do weekly fasts of 2 to 3 days. These are full 3 day fasts. In the rest of the week I do intermittent fasting, 18:6 but again, not really a keto diet. My carb intake is lower than before but it's nowhere close to being considered keto. It took me about 5 weeks to become fat adapted. So there's other ways to do it, not just keto diets. I guess my method wouldn't work for most people, because most people aren't obese.
I know when I became fully 'fat adapted' - the cravings for carbs diminishes greatly. One example is : free carbs are not even attractive anymore. My workplace was giving out FREE loaves of organic bread last week & I didn't take home any. That's fully fat adapted. A year or two ago, I would've grabbed at least a loaf. Not interested anymore. Occasionally, I may a slice of toast or some dessert - but it's so seldom these days. I now crave savory protein & seasoned veggies & berries. I'm ten lbs lighter than I was a few years ago & more limber.
I'd have a hard time with 'free stuff" LOL! But I even bake beautiful loaves every week for my husband but have no trouble leaving them all for him. I'm 7 weeks into very low carb and haven't missed sugar or carbs at all in that time - but I'm "stuck" at minus 10 lbs. This video gives me hope - I do feel so much healthier already, I'll stick with it.
@@pattismithurs9023 keep it up & stay active ! that's a least 15-20% of the equation. We all need to create fitness goals & keep the body challenged to be fit & lean.
Thank you, I had wondered about this, been doing keto/ evolving to carnivore for only four weeks now. I have seen more mental clarity by week 2, joint pain/ nightly neuropathy is much better, hunger is diminished, but no weight loss at all as yet. Will continue forward as suggested. I have always been impatient, thinking BINGO (!) and expected instant results. Thank you for your instructions/ white board presentations that have taught me about how health takes time to build. You are a very special doctor, rare in your approach to healing thru truthful education.
Hi....doctor....u r channel is very informative and addictive......the movement I found u r channel I am unable to avoid it......loving u r vdo contents and waiting for more to come....I pray that u live long, stay healthy and happy❤️
I would have imagined that it would be actually shorter for athletes as they speed up the metabolism and they don’t have the excess of fat at the beginning. I’ve started 2/3 weeks ago (first week low carb) , now 0 carbs and doing MMA intense training everyday. I’m more sharp mentally, need 45min less sleep but the performance for now is not better than before, surely less I do full organic, healthy Keto etc I follow as much as I can all prescribed by Dr Berg. So far it’s awesome . Thanks so much sir
They will adapt quicker, but they need much more adaptation to get to their top performance. Everybody else is fine at 90%, competing athletes come last if they are at 95%.
Why are you so good Dr Berg!? You even know the timeframe when one becomes fat adapted. One month exactly was the timeframe when I could call myself fat-adapted. You and Dr Ekberg are the staple of Keto and holistic medicine.
Yesterday I had a cheat day as the scales weren’t moving. Then I tried on trousers I couldn’t fit into before and they fit! Now I’m doing a 40 hour fast to get back into ketosis and drinking ACV. Trying to undo the cheat day as quickly as possible.
Hey, Doc! April Fools Day is coming soon. You can deadpan and straightface like nobody else. Don't disappoint us. I'm sure you'll get us good this year if you want to. I'm looking forward to it. Cheers from the UK.
Thankyou for this video. I have been following a KETO diet for 5 weeks eating only leafy veg, salad, more meat than I really want, a little fish, cream and cheese. I’ve even had a few eggs but they don’t really like me. I’ve stuck to 2 meals a day within a 4-6 hr period and as yet I have had zero results. No loss of aches, leg cramps, brain fog, inches or weight. This gives me encouragement to continue. With regard to your talk on split nails and calcium how does this impact on the production of kidney stones?
At 44 years old, I cannot remember the last time I could consistently sleep through the night without waking up between 2 & 4 AM to pee. Maybe, if I become fully fat adapted, I will be able to, but I am not holding my breath
If you are having gout issues at the very beginning of fat adaptation due to uric acid build up. (Ketones temporarily block the excretion of uric acid via the kidneys.) Take 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of potassium citrate powder in water each day. It will keep it in solution until the kidneys can excrete it. Potassium citrate is very helpful for gout, preventing certain forms of kidney stones. It is alkalizing too. Make sure to use the citrate powder form.

I went two days with no sugar before the withdrawal hit me. I felt bad, then I ate and drank some sugar and felt better. Sugar addiction is real.
I recently had a nurse tell me that processed sugar is poison to your body
@@letuswrap yes it is, and it is the cause of insulin resistance.
Did you eat any other carbs while avoiding sugar? That sounds harsh
@@miguelangelcifuentescruz689 only vegetable, I am mostly carnivore. that day I did not eat till I was full and did not have enough fat.
You can overcome the addiction with fasting, just have to stay with it longer. When you test your urine for ketones, eventually you see it and at that point your body is converting fat to food. No more hunger. No such thing as craving, appetite will cease. Happened about 22 hrs for me. Just go longer each time you attempt it, if you feel bad and have to stop. Don’t do calorie restrictive diet. And weight yourself every day same time.
Although I know quite a lot about the keto ‘diet’, and have watched a load of your (excellent) videos, I still find it incredibly useful to be re-grounded in the basics of the regime - and this video of yours was brilliant for that, thanks very much.

I started keto and doing omad (sometimes 2) right from the first day. I had a light headache for 2 or 3 days but I didn't have any trouble adapting to what was a huge change in my diet. I was able to do 48+ hour fasts easily after a couple of weeks, and did a 48hr dry fast no problem. I didn't track macros the first month and only really did it for about a month before stopping. I'm down 57lbs in a little over 3 months. Still another 75-100lbs to go, but keto changed my life and for me it all started after watching a Dr Berg video. Thanks for saving my life doc!
Thank you Dr Berg, 2 months on keto and this is the best I felt in years after a long history of health problems
Dr. Berg's presentation is always cool like an iceberg. Thank you Doctor.
Iceberg ❤👍
Been on keto/IF for three weeks and some friends came over yesterday that I saw just before I started keto and they didn’t recognise me because I’ve lost so much weight. I feel great, have no sugar cravings and more energy and my back pain is gone. My mood has stabilised and I fit into my clothes a lot better.
Thank you so much this video came right on time. I’ve started keto again and this time I was noticing that I’m not losing weight as fast as I did before so I was getting frustrated. I now realize 3 weeks in that I need to just be patient and continue doing what I’m doing. You’re a blessing thank you 🙏🏽
You’re 💯 correct. I train heavily for Spartan races and started keto about 3-4 weeks ago…still not fat adapted…feels horrible, but I know I’ll get there. I did keto for about 7 years straight in the past, but fell outta it….just cant wait to get readapted to get energy back and to sleep better.
any update? I hope you got to where you wanted
Going by your (how do you know)
I'm 100% fat adapted, longest fast so far is 72hrs with absolutely no hunger. Felt great actually.
Wow! You're inspiring me. ❤
Good
I try to reach 72 hrs fasting and i contiusely try
Still i am at 24 hrs ,its not bad
@@emankadem7515 keep going, dont forget you can have bone broth or other drinks.. my first long fast the first day I was really restless.. I went to just off 3 days without a hitch. Day 2 is easier, just keep hydrated with electrolites.. put ACV and lemon in your water and sip often.
@@barbarawarren9443 It's certainly worth doing, it has taken me a while to do it, but then again I've had 65yrs of not so good eating habits.
@@emankadem7515 keep goin, you'll get there. 24hrs is good. I normally do 18/6 or OMAD
I've been listening to you in the UK for 2 weeks and I'm so glad I found this video. I lost a lot in the first week and don't feel as though I've lost anything this week. This has just reassured me to keep going. 12 weeks is cool now I know.
I'm an elder. I began keto around a year ago. It took until a month ago for my diabetic issues from decades of carb addiction to begin to fade... granted, I "give in" to carbos on occassion. However, since my blood sugar has been tamed, my body processes them quickly without any undesirable effects.
I don't think I've become fat adapted yet, but my blood sugar has greatly improved, and my health is changing for the better.
Most note worthy, my once enlarged prostate is now normal. Phew! Dodged that bullet. I've so many peers with prostate issues. I suggest the diet. Since most are vegans, vegetarians who on occasion eat fish or chicken, they look at my diet and think me crazy, with a death wish.
Sticking with it.....
I have a few friends I should send this video to, but I won't 😂.. they tried and failed miserably on keto. Wouldn't listen to a word I said. So now they are on the "keto doesn't work" train 🙄.. meanwhile I'm seeing results and feeling amazing 😃..
I’m in the same situation! I tried to have friends and family on how I get my energy levels, feeling amazing, but won’t believe it’s thru my food!
We can all try to TELL everyone. But, let your results SHOW everyone. Your results will cause them to turn to you for answers.
Keep up the great work!
@@michellewilcox7175 thank you! You as well 🤙
@@jaysoncabral3347 That's right. I can't tell my daughter about it bc she doesn't want to listen but I can lead by example and let her see the results.
I am currently failing, but I'm going to try again just so I can say "I told you so" to my mother in law.
I am only 17 years old. I Consider myself lucky to find out about your channel. I was getting acne like crazy and I found about your channel. I was eating alot of carbs which caused my insulin to go up and then lead to me having acne. I would've never gotten rid of my acne if it wasn't because of this channel. Thanks Dr. Berg😊🥰
Good for you 👍
Lucky one, you found Keto at your age. All the best for your future!

This video came up at just right time for me. Weeks 2 and especially 3 were really challenging as I wasn't seeing change on the scales. And I persisted having learned from this video. Week 6 now and things have really started to shift, mostly my body shape has started to change and the cms tell the real story. I am grateful to you, thank you!
Wow - I have managed to hit those 4 things. I went on a tough hike while fasting.. didn't even think about it and had no problems; didn't eat until my normal time at dinner; I get hungry a lot less often; I generally don't get tired immediately after meals; and I no longer have to get up in the middle of the night to visit the bathroom. I had no idea these meant anything, didn't even think about them until seeing this.
I started keto 5 years ago to improve my athletic performance as an ultra runner. It took me 3 or 4 months to be properly fat adapted. But it was worth it. Now I can run long when fasted and it's great!
i applaud your patience
This is SO HELPFUL! I have been struggling feeling like I am not in ketosis even though I have been doing this over 2 months. I have lost 25 lbs but have been stalled for weeks as well. I am currently doing a 72 hour fast and finally feeling like I am IN KETOSIS now!
Yes...actually I do a 48 hour fast every week. The last two weeks I tried out a 72 hour fast. The rest of the days of the week, I do an 18:6 IF. This has made me fat adapted. I haven't given up carbs either. It took me around 5 weeks though to get to this point.
Would've been nice to have been told this when I first started keto! Actually really important points to note.
On day 12. Lost no weight so far.
Yet, I feel really good! No cravings so far. Wow!
That’s incredible progress. No cravings is a huge win. It means ur system is resetting. Brings me joy to c someone win 😊
I pray that u find d best version of urself and then keep thriving 🖖
Oh how I needed to hear this! I am finishing week 4 and have "stalled" in weight loss for a week, now. Even gained 3 pounds while doing the same diet as the first 2 weeks when I lost 10 pounds. I will keep on keeping on! Thank you! I couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Day 6 Keto. It's getting easier each day. I have lost 4 pounds... Probably water weight but my bloating is gone. I've got 50+ pounds to lose. Praying to persevere!🙏
Dr. Berg, thank you so much for doing this video. I swear it's like you're sent from Heaven! I've been trying to follow your advice, in fact I've got my whole family trying to go keto. And for the first week and half I saw quick weight loss but after that the scale has barely moved a pound. I have to admit I've become very frustrated especially when I see so many people on youtube talking about weight just falling off without the even trying. I kept thinking "why not me?" So thank you sooooo much for doing this video because it's provided me with a little more perspective and taught me that I just need to keep doing it, keep being patient and the best is yet to come. THANK YOU! I needed to hear this!!
Dr Berg, having been on keto for the past 9 months I cant express how much your channel has really been invaluable to me!
Omg I was worried about the pain in my big toe. Now it all makes sense🤗 I'm on keto for more than a month now and not stopping 💪🏻
Such an important thing to know about the keto diet. Thank you Dr. Berg!
My pleasure!
Your health is depend on three factors what you put in your mouth , exercise , enough sleep
I was so encouraged to learn it can take some of us as long as 12 WEEKS! I am in week 7 and still not fully in despite being "compliant." I blood test in a hopeful state several times per day!
Been doing keto for 4 years and I feel better than ever.
It's so funny, I'm at exactly the point where I lost all the H2O and stopped dropping pounds since a couple of days. I was wondering if the ride was over but apparently it's just starting! Thanks Dr. Berg!
I felt better, and stopped feeling hunger pangs all the time after 3-4 days. I never had weird side-effects. After 65 days I’ve lost 37 lbs!! It was easy, fun, and I had unexpected health benefits (skin tags disappeared, toenail fungus cleared up, memory has improved, mood has improved, 10-yo BC-carcinoma on my leg has almost disappeared!!).
were you working out as well?
Just a little extra walking. I started January 10, it’s now mid-May. I’ve now lost 50 lbs! I’m not missing any of the carbs I used to eat. Lily’s dark chocolate and fresh raspberries occasionally is only treat I want. See video by Dr Ken Berry about “I was wrong about exercise” (something like that). He explains that just eating keto with Intermittent Fasting is biggest factor. Comments below confirm that most people agree. One guy said that he was recovering from a broken shoulder and couldn’t move around a lot and he still lost 50 lbs following this plan
This is just the video I need to see, at just the right time. Thank you, I'm 6 weeks in ....
Phew! This is the info I needed. Last year I tried keto but quit after my ketones were excessively high and I had my first ever gout attack! (About 5 days in)
This time I've been drinking lemon water, which has helped with the gout (I did have some pain but then remembered the lemon water thing). But I'm on day 9 and feel so awful. Been in ketosis (moderate to high) for 6 days and total brain fog, weak, body aches still. I'm post menopausal and have insulin resistance, so ig that's to be expected? I'm taking salt in all my water, eating either omad or 18:6, only carbs are non starchy veg, and taking electrolytes and other recommended supps. But I was despairing because seems like everyone says once you're in ketosis your golden- you should have tons of energy, clarity, etc. No one talks about this window of pain between starting ketosis and being fat adapted. At least that I've found!
This video is very important with respect to the frustration that can occur and the respect for the body needed when your attempts to both fast and cut carbs to lose weight take a long time to get going. Please don't give up, it will occur.
Dr. Berg, can you explain a little more thoroughly about the athletic person's situation? I didn't quite get that.
Weeks...🤯...Been doing keto since first of 2021 year. Lost 30 pounds. Staying the course. Hard yes, but will be well worth it
Dear Dr Eric
You are an amazing, phenomenal fantastic doctor, helping millions of people. Many thanks for all your hard work.
Im 2 weeks into keto, your videos have helped me a lot. Thank you
Glad to hear it!
Thank you Dr. Berg for another very informative video. But most of the times I do dirty way of keto cause it's very hard to find organic, pasture raised products here in my country. My clothes size went from XL and now I'm down to medium sized clothes already with the help of keto and IF and of course your videos that you share.
Always very well explained, many thanks from France 🇫🇷 Dr Berg !
I’ve been doing it for a month and nothing. So frustrating, but this video helps manage expectations.
Dr Berg is so awesome! Thanks for taking the time and make these awesome videos! You and your team are very awesome Thank you!
✌🏼😎👍🏼
Absolutely a great video to discuss expectations and what to actually expect. Thanks so much!
5 weeks into Keto and this is exactly what happened to me. I lost 5pounds in the first 2 weeks then 1 pound in the 3rd week, 0 pound in the 4th week. The only thing keeping me going is the fact that I feel great and Dr Berg’s videos are giving me a heads up as to what to expect.
Thank you!
updates?
May 15th was 3 months on keto and I’m down a total of 23 pounds 😃
What’s mind blowing is on 2 occasions for one day each i went off the diet but I didn’t gain weight. I didn’t loose either but it was almost as if my body was able to handle it. I’m not going to make a habit of that but it def motivated me to continue.
I truly believe that the combo of Keto and IF is key! 75% of the time that’s what I do.
Four weeks into intermittent fasting and using some keto diet guides. Down 2 percent in weight and feel so much better!
I just lowered my carbs last week to 70 and below & have lost 7 lbs already. I eat at noon and 6pm & drink water plus 2 cups of green tea with sugar. I eat cooked cabbage and perch. Gonna keep going with this until I plateau then lower carbs 10 at a time til I get below 50.
Nice quick summary. P.s am always so jealous of your whiteboard!
Thank you so much Dr. Berg for this reminder I really needed this to push my self. Thank you!!!
Super synchronicity seeing the video thumbnail of salmon mixed with avocado. That's exactly what I had for dinner last night.
You should do the same video but discuss those who were fat adapted, slipped off Keto and how long it takes to return. Does the time you’ve been off Keto impact how long it takes to return to being fat adapted?
Yes, nearly my question too.
Just get back to keto eating now and stop worrying about it
@@loveislove2359 what a random response and not really relevant to my request.
If you’re fat adapted it’s easier & quicker to get back into ketosis & you can speed that up by fasting too. It’s not recommended though & is probably why he doesn’t do videos on it
@@cassierennoldson3185 was on Keto for 1.5 years then dropped off for a year and now back on it for some months already. Curious to know after being off for such a long time if it’s like starting all over again or the body remembers and adapts quicker.
Thanks for this video, I am going through the uric acid phase with swollen and painful foot pain! Maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel for this, I am certainly hoping so!!
Hi there! Check out this video:

Hope this helps!
Dr. Berg's Support Team.
Sometimes I think you are a mind reader. I was just getting ready to search your videos on fat adaption. And here it is.
Really good to hear, I am getting tired after every fat meal I eat. Was thinking about some food allergies or maybe I just respond bad to fats. But seeing this my body just doesn't know yet what to do with it. Thanks dr Berg!
This is a tremendous help and piece of reality. I needed to hear this. Thank you Dr. Berg.
hi Dr berg plz make video on how to do IF and keto without losing weight i mean I don't want to loose weight im 45kgs so I want to take benefits of IF and keto without losing weight.
thanks for making so informative contents.
love from 🇬🇧
wow amazing
I've been doing IF and low carb for almost 2 months now and I actually experience the early symptons like increase uric acid
but now I can do 20 hr fasting and workout while fasting without experiencing much hunger
and I surely no longer wake up at night to pee, I can hold it until morning
❤❤
All that Dr.Berg says is so very true! can't improve on it. Thank you Doc.
My weight stalled but I can now jog down hill lol..
Hey it's a start.
Go OMAD, or do two to three day fasts. Keep exercising to burn cals. Exercise just as much when fasting if not more, doesn’t matter. Find hills to walk briskly UP.
@@robertp7209 I was doing OMAD, hit a plateau..I'm still trying to reach a 24 hour (day of fasting) I do walk hills, I'm trying to pick up the pace tho on hills..Never give up! 💯
@@NoName-pu5ls - why can’t you go longer than 1 day? The struggle is usually the first two days, after that appetite / hunger is gone. Test urine for ketones get the strips off Amazon, weight yourself everyday same time. When you see ketones, you will be converting body fat to fuel. End of eating.
@@robertp7209 not sure why I can't go longer, it's like I feel starved lol..Its a mental thing. Yes I have to buy those strips! Thanks for the advice I'll do it.
@@NoName-pu5ls - drink plenty of water, tea with lemon, black coffee, no calories, hang in there for two days, hunger will cease, keep active. If you get thru two days you will want to keep going.
All this happened faster for me. I was doing strict IF for a month before going full keto. I knew I was fat adapted because for the first time in my adult life, my neck didn't smell (thyroid) and I could actually register feeling cold. For the first time in ten years, I almost bought a coat to wear in winter. Aside from the weight just tearing off and my muscle mass increasing by ten pounds.
At the end, you said the course was free, but when I clicked on it, it pops up with, get a 10% discount.
My primary dr. recommended a Keto diet for me to try to reverse type 2 diabetes. The first week nearly made me lose my mind. I had a serious sugar addiction. I'm almost a month in now and the results are phenomenal! I have less pain and stiffness with arthritis, I can go longer before getting hungry, vision is clearing up, and I'm dropping weight. My blood glucose levels are normal and I'll have my A1C checked May 5th. I'm still not very active because of a serious foot injury. The Corona virus, sugar/carb addiction and foot injury have been my crutch for far too long. Life is changing for me in my old age.
Thank you, I'm on week 3, just passing through the tough time. Really looking forward to being fat adapted and start losing the weight. I have to go! Thank you dr. Berg
How u feeling now. I m on 2nd week and first week was easy but this 2nd week I have been experiencing some really bad brain fog and low energy and low blood glucose. I hope it pass.
This keto diet is fantastic. I am currently 58 years old and I started at 368.0 lbs with clothes on April 4, 2023 and this morning I weighed 312.0 lbs without clothes....giving that my clothes and stuff weighs between 4-5 lbs....I have lost 51 lbs in 62 days this evening! I started out eating 2 meals a day with intermittent fasting for almost 3 weeks (April 18th, 2023), then switched to OMAD starting April 19th, 2023 thru May 30th, 2023, and now I'm OMAD every other day for the foreseeable future. My goal was to lose 100 lbs. by October 15th, 2023. I am half way towards that goal in 9 weeks! And I have no cravings for CARBS or any food, this diet is a BLAST, it is SO EASY! This is a guy who used to eat Peanut Butter M&Ms, Marshmallows, Gatorade, and Frozen Dinners at NIGHT around Midnight every night! I was a carb addict! As long as I take my Electolytes, B Yeast Tablets, and other supplements with it, this diet is a breeze! I even went 138 hours with Prolonged Fasting (with the above supplements of course) with no problem! Wasn't hungry at all do it! Let's see what's happens between NOW and October 15th. I am pushing the envelope because I'm just not hungry! My true goal is 185.0 lbs by October 15th, 2024 -or- if I plateau, by my 60th birthday on May 16th, 2025!
I am a male and 5' 10" tall...needed to add that fact!
Key is don't be afraid to push the envelope...I had congestive heart failure diagnosed in March 2020, and I have a stent! High blood pressure is beginning to disapperar, and I'm wearing clothes that I have worn in years! Don't fear this diet, but don't cheat either! You actually lose weight when you sleep on this diet! And if you pee through the night like I used to do, it will STOP IT COLD withing 2 weeks (in my case)!
And this is with NO exercise at this point on this diet...I am planning to add an exercise bicycle in the next few weeks or so, then 'maybe' resistance exercises to tone my bodyat a gym after October 15, 2023, I'll see!
Great video doctor berg. I'm also fat adapted but I didn't go on a keto diet to do it. Since I'm obese, I decided to do weekly fasts of 2 to 3 days. These are full 3 day fasts. In the rest of the week I do intermittent fasting, 18:6 but again, not really a keto diet. My carb intake is lower than before but it's nowhere close to being considered keto.
It took me about 5 weeks to become fat adapted. So there's other ways to do it, not just keto diets.
I guess my method wouldn't work for most people, because most people aren't obese.
Dr. Berg, you are THE BEST!! Thank you so much for all you are teaching me and the great health you are helping me to create🥰
Dr. Berg, I just wanted to say thank you for helping do a 180 on my life
You're welcome. I'm happy I was able to help you. Are you doing keto and IF?
I know when I became fully 'fat adapted' - the cravings for carbs diminishes greatly. One example is : free carbs are not even attractive anymore. My workplace was giving out FREE loaves of organic bread last week & I didn't take home any. That's fully fat adapted.
A year or two ago, I would've grabbed at least a loaf. Not interested anymore.
Occasionally, I may a slice of toast or some dessert - but it's so seldom these days.
I now crave savory protein & seasoned veggies & berries.
I'm ten lbs lighter than I was a few years ago & more limber.
I'd have a hard time with 'free stuff" LOL! But I even bake beautiful loaves every week for my husband but have no trouble leaving them all for him. I'm 7 weeks into very low carb and haven't missed sugar or carbs at all in that time - but I'm "stuck" at minus 10 lbs. This video gives me hope - I do feel so much healthier already, I'll stick with it.
@@pattismithurs9023 keep it up & stay active ! that's a least 15-20% of the equation.
We all need to create fitness goals & keep the body challenged to be fit & lean.
Thank you, I had wondered about this, been doing keto/ evolving to carnivore for only four weeks now. I have seen more mental clarity by week 2, joint pain/ nightly neuropathy is much better, hunger is diminished, but no weight loss at all as yet. Will continue forward as suggested. I have always been impatient, thinking BINGO (!) and expected instant results. Thank you for your instructions/ white board presentations that have taught me about how health takes time to build. You are a very special doctor, rare in your approach to healing thru truthful education.
You are very welcome. Good luck on your keto journey!
Thanks Dr. Berg, I really needed to know more about fat adaption this cleared up a lot of questions
We appreciate you immensely Dr. Berg!!!!!!
A very useful primer for keto beginners. Well done.
Thank you!
@@Drberg Well I think we would all say 'Thank You, Dr. Berg.'
Superb info. Thank you Dr B.
Hi....doctor....u r channel is very informative and addictive......the movement I found u r channel I am unable to avoid it......loving u r vdo contents and waiting for more to come....I pray that u live long, stay healthy and happy❤️
Hi Dr Berg. Thank you
You're welcome!
I got fat adapted in my late 20s. Been fat ever since.
congratulations you float better in a swimming pool
lol good one
:) Hahaha! Thanks.
I have started mine
Can you do a video about if Oat, Almand or Walnut milks are good?
What type of coffee cream do you use?
I would have imagined that it would be actually shorter for athletes as they speed up the metabolism and they don’t have the excess of fat at the beginning.
I’ve started 2/3 weeks ago (first week low carb) , now 0 carbs and doing MMA intense training everyday. I’m more sharp mentally, need 45min less sleep but the performance for now is not better than before, surely less
I do full organic, healthy Keto etc
I follow as much as I can all prescribed by Dr Berg. So far it’s awesome . Thanks so much sir
me too. I expected athletes to take shorter time to reach there. especially with workout during fasting
They will adapt quicker, but they need much more adaptation to get to their top performance. Everybody else is fine at 90%, competing athletes come last if they are at 95%.
Why are you so good Dr Berg!? You even know the timeframe when one becomes fat adapted. One month exactly was the timeframe when I could call myself fat-adapted. You and Dr Ekberg are the staple of Keto and holistic medicine.
Yesterday I had a cheat day as the scales weren’t moving. Then I tried on trousers I couldn’t fit into before and they fit! Now I’m doing a 40 hour fast to get back into ketosis and drinking ACV. Trying to undo the cheat day as quickly as possible.
Thank you, cc on. Really enjoy following you, have learned how to fix many issues.
5 weeks and 5 days for me... post prandial slump disappeared... was such a relief.
So... Going on 5 yrs of keto. Based on your chart, I'm almost there...!!!
Excellent video Doc. Thank you👍🏻🔥
Glad to know that you liked this post!
Hey, Doc! April Fools Day is coming soon. You can deadpan and straightface like nobody else. Don't disappoint us. I'm sure you'll get us good this year if you want to. I'm looking forward to it. Cheers from the UK.
Thankyou for this video. I have been following a KETO diet for 5 weeks eating only leafy veg, salad, more meat than I really want, a little fish, cream and cheese. I’ve even had a few eggs but they don’t really like me. I’ve stuck to 2 meals a day within a 4-6 hr period and as yet I have had zero results. No loss of aches, leg cramps, brain fog, inches or weight. This gives me encouragement to continue. With regard to your talk on split nails and calcium how does this impact on the production of kidney stones?
Thanks Dr. Eric , this is Gold.
Good presentation!!! One of the reasons consumption of celery can be so important during these times
Menopausal, not overweight. It does not take me that long, but I try not to take for granted, by keeping carbs low, food organic and grass fed.
At 44 years old, I cannot remember the last time I could consistently sleep through the night without waking up between 2 & 4 AM to pee. Maybe, if I become fully fat adapted, I will be able to, but I am not holding my breath
If you are having gout issues at the very beginning of fat adaptation due to uric acid build up. (Ketones temporarily block the excretion of uric acid via the kidneys.) Take 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of potassium citrate powder in water each day. It will keep it in solution until the kidneys can excrete it. Potassium citrate is very helpful for gout, preventing certain forms of kidney stones. It is alkalizing too. Make sure to use the citrate powder form.
Thank you for all your videos Dr berg
Welcome! Very glad you enjoy them.
