PLEASE HELP!!!, I’m wondering, do I have to be in ketosis constantly to become fat adapted or as long as I stay low carb I will get there? I had a sleep eat episode and it kicked me out of ketosis for a few days (I can be sure exactly what I ate but from what was left out it was a mixture or carbs and sugars! ( I no longer keep them in the house)) I was 4 weeks into starting keto! Will I now have to start again in regatta becoming fat adapted, I’m now 8 weeks in and definitely not fat adapted as I’m still craving and lack of energy ect so wondering if I’ve restarted?
I dont know if it's cause of keto if I pee alot cause I drink only water now and alot of it every day so its hard for me to know if I pee cause of water
1) pee a lot 2) not as hungry 3) blood pressure returns to normal 4) decrease carb cravings 5) increased mental clarity 6) consistent all day energy 7) edema reduces (swelling in legs)
I’m almost 67 years old and have no thyroid. I was on Keto 2 months before letting someone talk me out of it. I had labs done 2 weeks after stopping Keto. I lost 25 lbs, I’m producing hormones, my blood glucose is improving. My dr thought I was doing hormone therapy! She demanded I get back on Keto!!! I am as of today and I already feel better. I told my dr about your free videos. She’s going to recommend you for beginners.
Don't you just hate it when people think you shouldn't do Keto yet your body shows that it should. Having to defend your ideas as to what works can be tiresome. I had friends too that said to be careful doing Keto yet they knew nothing about Keto !!! It amazes me. lol. Glad that you went back on it. Also Fantastic that YOU have educated Your own Doctor !!! So now the chain begins as your Doctor will educate other Doctors. Win Win !!
I have a friend who was against me starting Keto 2 months ago ... Used everything she could to talk me out of it ... Now im 20 lbs down and she is ohhh id say 8 pounds up and complains about sore joints and bloated belly, even ended up in the ER this last weekend because she thought she was having a heart attack ... It was Gas hahahahahaha Keto on Baby !!
A relative just texted me today telling me instead of Keto, I need to be on the Mediterranean diet. I don't know why people don't understand that diets don't work the same for everyone. I am diabetic and have no thyroid. Yet Keto works for me. It has repaired the cortisol issues I have had for 3 years and it is normal now. You'd think someone would be happy for me. My support system is pretty much non-existent. If I do something, anything really, I do it alone. I shouldn't let it bother me or be surprised.
This has been the best change in lifestyle. I was almost 300 lbs and was giving up. Craved carbs like crazy. Addicted. One day wake up call and started Keto and IF. I am down to 211 lbs today. Eat when I am hungry at least one meal a day maybe two. I feel so much better and have dropped from a 44 waist to now size 38. All of the 2xl clothes are gone and waiting for the XL to get baggy. It really works!
This is a marathon. Thanks all. There is no reason to go back down the rabbit hole. I continue to lose weekly and get to my goal of 170 lbs. I want to be able to run races again with pain from the extra weight. Getting there one pound at a time.
10 months...91 pounds lost, size 20 to 4, sugar level normal, BMI 46 to 16, cholesterol went from 225 to 99, high energy, clear thoughts, better sleep!! If you’re on the fence, DO IT!!! Don’t give up!!! It’s so worth it. Change your eating and just walk every day!!
@ No. only low carb and walking. It wasn’t true keto. I didn’t fast per se…With such a low caloric intake from the diet itself, it was if I fasted. I wasn’t hungry and actually forgot to eat. Chicken breasts grilled or baked, coffee with cream, steamed broccoli and Green beans, eggs, bacon and other proteins only No tomatoes, onions, carrots,fruit, dairy at all. No supplements except daily multivitamin and potassium It was hard core. I never cheated. No alcohol but I did drink diet soda and at the end sugar-free pudding and popsicles.
@@kjsfl386 that’s amazing! What willpower… What did you do when you needed something sweet? No berries whatsoever? Sometimes I just sweeten my plain Greek yogurt with a little monk fruit sweetener… I usually add a few berries or make my own berry sauce from blueberries or raspberries…
Lately I’ve been having dreams of eating sugary cookies and eating cereal and pizza. I’m two weeks into keto. I think it’s my body’s last attempt to get me to start eating carbs and sugar again. but it ain’t 👏 gonna 👏happen 👏
Every now and then I dream about popcorn. I don’t care much for desserts but I love popcorn, rice and potatoes. If you don’t buy them, then there is less temptation. My husband is the Vegan Carb King and his foods don’t bother me anymore. I just think about how miserable I would be if I eat it….quick decision, NO!!! Just drink some water or coffee. Keto and intermittent fasting. Keep moving and exercise. 😊😊😊
I'm proud and so excited to say that I've lost 44 pounds in 2 months on the keto diet and intermittent fasting. Trust me when I say the first 2 weeks were the toughest. But after that my whole life changed, i felt extremely full of energy my mental clarity was amazing basically my physical and mental health changed completely. I highly encourage anyone who is just starting or contemplating the keto to "GO FOR IT" it really works guys!!! I've never written a comment on UA-cam about anything but i just had to share my experience with keto!!!
On Keto, weight loss, reduction in my blood pressure, no more sugar cravings, calm mind, no more Athlete's foot in summer, no more thrush, no more asthma, beautiful skin, fantastic sleep, no more post-nasal drip, endless energy, better mood. Best way to live the rest of my life. I'm a 66 year old, formerly obese woman. Thank you, Dr. Berry . Xx
I’m on week four of Carnivore and ALL these things you talk about are happening to me! It is SO MOTIVATING! I’ve NEVER.... and I mean NEVER (I’m 57) been able to feel NO CRAVINGS an hour or two after a meal. Now, two meals a day are totally sufficient. I’m flipping out! Thanks for all your helpful videos.
I have 2 meals a day sometimes and moving to one meal a day. Sometimes one meal is better for me and my brain is working better. I feel so free and I’m not thinking about food all the time anymore. I used to be a carb addict with my blood sugar jumping up and down like a roller coaster….and I couldn’t get off. Keto works. Give yourself time to get fat adapted. 😬😃😂
Hade good healthy Keto lunch the other day and as I was getting ready to start cooking supper, I realized I wasn’t all that hungry. Decided to skip it and see how I felt. Morning came and I felt great. Decided on no breakfast, so it turned into my 1st 24hr fast. When I ate lunch,I couldn’t even finish it before I felt full. Amazing. Old me would have bet you a paycheck that wasn’t possible.
I periodically do a reset when I catch myself slipping. When i do a 3 day fast it's not for the physical benefits it's for the mental benefit. During the week I do coffee in the morning, water water water during the day and then a keto friendly dinner. I keep things like hard boiled eggs, bacon jerky and pepperoni jerky at work when they have like cupcakes and donuts all that sweet stuff 3 feet from my desk.
I use to always think ... If I leave for a few hours I will need food ... Or where am I going to eat lunch .. I was always planning my day around food. Now I drink my BPC and im good for the day ... like you I have snack foods like eggs or cheese, salami ... but rarely go after that ... I Love It ... wish Id known about Keto 30 years ago
4 months on carnivore. Just did a 8 km race with my son on the weekend. We ate 2 egg McMuffins minus the buns… no carb energy gels etc. loads of energy! My son came in 2nd! I came in 17th! Hey! Not bad for a 48 year old!
Agreed.. Just started my keto 5 days ago due to kindey pain, blurred visions and chronic fatigue. All symptoms subsided by now. Lower back pain still there but minimal. The only thing I worried about is my energy level drops dramatically and I kinda see black every time I get up from sitting or lying down.
@@haness05 maybe the energy level will should back as normal when your body will become fat adapted... in the meantime take care of eating healthy food with lots of nutrients and vegetables
I started the keto diet with the common negativity of my family and friends , however ,. In two weeks I went from 320 lbs to 301 and after three more weeks I am currently at 280
scott allen they’re like , “ oh I heard it was bad “ “ that’s a bad diet and that’s why some people don’t do it “. “ my friend did it and they got sick “ etc etc
I started March 1, 2018 at 232 lbs and BP 150 / 80. Started running 1-2 miles a day max (all I could do) Exactly 3 1/2 months later, I was at 170lbs and BP 110 / 70. Consistent weight and BP ever since. Now training for 2 marathons so far coming up. 47 yrs old, and better shape and feel better than high school days. People ALL THE TIME, tell me they don’t even recognize me. KETO is the absolute BEST lifestyle choice a person can make! Stay with it, give it time, IT WORKS!
Yussss! No better way to put it! Took me four weeks the first time. I dropped off after a surgery, and it actually took longer to get back into keto state after that. But now, after half a year, I can drop out and be right back in 1-2 days. BTW, this dude is actually pretty funny if you pay attention.
Milaries Toro Wishing you all the best on your journey. 👏🏻 I’m 90 lbs down in 5 months, awesome woe. When you become Fat Adapted the excess fat melts away effortlessly. It shouldn’t take you long and the other health benefits are amazing. 🥰 Enjoy the time knowing you’ll never have a weight problem ever again. 👌🏻
I'm there and with the intermittent fasting seems to bring on the mental clarity and more energy! I can fast 18 hours without being hungry! I never thought I would be able to do that.
I just came off my first 18 hour fast ... wow never thought Id ever be able to go that long but it was so easy .... I can now see how people can get away with eating only once a day ... gotta eat alot of fat tho ... I was stuffed ... ate at 2 pm and it lasted all day and night until next morning ... Im now drinking some coffee with all the goodies in it :)
I have not been hungry since I started a ketogenic diet back in February 2018. Seriously, I am never, absolutely never hungry. This is opposed to being hungry all the time -- that's how it used to be for me, and that was really troubling to me. So glad not to be constantly hungry (or not hungry at all).
First werk here. 1. Peeing A LOT. Drinking A LOT of water daily. Very thirsty all day long. Eating once a day only red meat and salt. 2. Mood swings. Getting very emotional, sometimes depressed, but sometimes very calm and happy. Feeling the glympse, I think, of when I become fat adapted. That is what motivates me 3. Crazy to eat carbs. In my case I crave fruits. It is crazy. 4. Loss of focus, brain fog, cant think right sometimes. It comes and goes. I am feeling that besides that I am improving, I will keep this path to see where it goes. I really wanna feel like everyone says, energetic, mental clarity, etc.
@@johndoex3x3 Don't you think you were lacking salt big time? Just something worth testing for others. When I drink water and am still so thirsty, it's because I am low on sodium (3 years on keto here)
@@ArmagedoOom ur comment came in great timing. That happened to me last few days, I drank almost 10 liters of waters daily and still thirsty. This night I got something that never happened to me before, I woke up feeling my calf twisting and in great pain, never had a cramp like this before. I had some magnesium, was not taking it for a while, but I took it today. Also I used a lot of salt today. I come from veganism with no salt, I was used to get thirsty when using salt while vegan, so I was not used to use it. I guess on carnivore it is different. I see a lot of carnivores using a lot of salt daily, I think how can they eat that amount of salt daily and not get thirsty and drink water all day? Maybe I need to increase the salt .. will try that, thanks my friend
@@johndoex3x3when you keep on being thirsty, add more fats, you’ll feel better, and more energised as well. When you drink so much water you’ll flush the electrolytes out and you’ll get a deficiency which can result in cramps. After two years on carnivore I naturally felt like eating less and less salt btw, haven’t eaten any in 3 years now
I’ve been doing Keto for almost two weeks. The amount of energy I have going into week two has been amazing. I’m a nursing home nurse and on my feet all day which normally exhausts me. I also have RA which I’ve had for 12 years. I feel so tremendous it’s unreal. 💃🏻
I started Keto 3 weeks ago. While watching Dr. Berry I learned it is a non inflammatory diet. My sciatica had become unbearable and was desperate to get rid of the pain. Less than one week on the diet and I was virtually pain free! I'm a believer!
Ive been on LCHF now nearly 3 years My joint pain from knee injuries and ankle injuries and pain are gone Im back running and have enormous amount of energy All blood work tests are awesome Im 52 and fitter and leaner than ive been in years👍😁🏃♂️
thanks for all your dedication to getting people healthy. It took 3 days and the constant swelling at the base of my skull was gone. 13 weeks and inflammation gone along with 54 lbs. It has changed my life - in actuality it has given me life back.
Yes no cravings and no urges to even eat non keto foods . I also have to almost force myself to eat after a 24 hour fast lol. . I only eat when I am really hungry now, usually 2 small meals between 4pm and 9pm
Two weeks in of 20:4 fasting and low carb I woke up a few days ago shocked that all of the bones in my feet were defined. I'm still a big girl! But all the swelling in my feet and ankles was gone. Amazing.
This happened to me too. I've always had short stubby toes like little sausages. A month or so into keto I noticed I had to knuckles and spaces between my toes. It's ridiculous how excited this made me.
I'm in 15 days.... And I answered yes to all 7 !!!!!!!!!!! Loving my new lifestyle... I'm no longer engaged to Ronald McDonald!!!! I feel so eliberated 🍟 🍔 👎
My husband had a fun time duscussing his new lab results with his M.D. in barely over 2 months his A1C droped from 10.8 to 7 along with a whole bunch of other improvements. A 30 lb weightloss and reducing his insulin by 2/3 was another. SO.. Guess what his Dr. Told him...almost insisting, "Make sure you reward yourself with a little ice cream. Enjoy life" ... (???) I am wondering if keto WOE is cutting into their profits (?)
There's keto-friendly ice cream, even in vegan varieties if you're into that (Both make me sick, so no go, lol), but that might be a good sign it's time to find a new doctor =).
100% true. 14 lbs in 2 weeks, 26 lbs in the first month. Inflammation way down, sleep is better. My energy is not as high, but it is definitely more sustainable over the day. I feel like over the next month, I'll be fully used to how the energy is working itself out. I feel just a tad flat during the gym, running, hiking, etc, but it is getting better daily. I've never seen my body transform this rapidly. I'm getting the body back I had in my youth. For anyone on the fence, do it!
When I'm sitting still, I almost feel like I could go to sleep, but when I get moving I have all the energy in the world. I actually have to make sure I don't spend too much time working out... Thanks ketosis
I lost 25 lbs in 2 months under keto and still losing. I don’t feel as hungry. I am fat adapted now I don’t crave as much for carbs. This will be my lifestyle from now on.
My husband finally joined me on ketogenic diet!👏👏👏 He's down 20 pounds. Makes cooking so much easier. He even cleaned out the pantry of stuff I missed ☺ We are both fasting everyday. Life is even better! Thank you Dr Ken for all that you do!💞
I just started keto and lost 2kg in 6 days but I'm stuck with the same weight for 5 days now. I commented because I finally saw someone uses kg rather than pounds. 🤣🤣🤣
I’ll admit that I was terrified of having to go on Keto (my liver specialist enthusiastically suggested it) because of what was told by doctors 30+ years ago; that you need low-fat everything and that too much fat and meat-eating will clog your arteries. I’ve only been Keto for a short while and already notice insane improvements! I’m a type 2 diabetic and my blood sugars have been insanely high no matter what I did. On average, they would be around 230 in the morning and almost 500 two hours after eating. Also found out I’m insulin-resistant and have a non-alcoholic fatty liver. First Endocrynologist said I needed to eat 60g of carbs PER MEAL! I felt insanely worse and sought out another Endocrynologist who got me on the right track. Not only do I have more energy with Keto, but my blood sugars are within normal range! What’s crazy is that it happened almost immediately. Insane. Thank you for all the hard work and the information you share with your videos, Dr. Berry! 🙏
I am 73 years old and remember when I was a kid......no more butter, margarine only. No more saturated fats. It is hard to absorb all this Keto info. Got the book “ LIES” and it slaps you in the face. After a terrible A1C (deserved) I am Keto for 5 weeks. Have lost over 12 lbs. and I have waaaaay more energy. Keep your fingers crossed for my next A1C on 9-17-20. I have been so good!
Day 5 of Keto and my body is thanking me! I know realize carbs and sugar were poisoning me. I have had zero sugar/carb cravings and fill so full when just last week I was always ravenous and looking for snacks. This really is life changing
I've been off Keto for 6 months, started watching your videos and I'm back on! You are a great inspiration, your common sense approach is the best way to attack Keto, thanks for all you do!
My very painful arthritis has all but disappeared in my knees and hands. I only had to lose six kilos. Low carb and intermittent fasting 18 hours daily. At 68! I get up in the morning feeling good. Before this I didn't want to get out of bed in the morning.
Everything you said was spot on. My favorite part being how early and sharp I wake up and my 100% consistent energy during the day even when I do one or even two training sessions.
Arent the cramps the pits? A slice of apple pie had me curled up on the couch in the fetal position. I was in agony. The had a bright idea! I made a small spinach shake with some of my nutritional goodies in it. Pain subsided and I gave my gut some healing help. No more pie or bread for me again.
Scooter Wilson yeah and I get so tired too, especially the next day and all my chronic pain returns. Yet when I'm on track, I have so much energy I can't seem to use it up! I hate myself when I slip up and eat carbs. I did it last night and I've been tired and achy all day, been super strict on macros today to get back in ketosis as fast as possible.
I read your book last summer, loved it and passed it to family members! I've been doing keto for 9 months and the best thing that happened to me (besides all the things you mentioned) is that my life disabling FIBROMYALGIA DISAPPEARED.... (and I'm off ALL pharmaceutical drugs including pain meds!!)
You put my mind at ease! I've been doing this for a few months but one day a week I eat carbs and zero fat for one meal. For the first time I've gone strict for 3 weeks and yesterday woke up with zero foot and finger pain that I've had for years believing it to be arthritis. Then last night I woke from an amazing deep sleep at 1am, slightly urinating like a tinkle. All day today I've been urinating every 2 hours. Scared me but I feel awesome. I'm not hungry. I'll monitor but this video helped.
Been doing keto since June 2018. I started IF and keto December 2018. I lost 38 lbs, my A1C went from 9.6 down to 5.4, my blood glucose was 313 and is now consistently under 110. My cholesterol levels are all in normal range and I feel fantastic with tons of energy. I am off Metformin, Victoza, Crestor. and Lisinipril. Keto really works! Thank you for all you do Dr. Berry. ❤
Having been in and out of keto a few times over the years, I've learned the #1 way of determining if you are fat adapted...see how long you can hold your breath. If you can suddenly hold your breath twice as long as you have ever been able to, your metabolism has fully fat-adapted, and is now using, and requiring, less oxygen.
Hello Dr Berry and thank you. I began my keto journey a little over a year ago and you were a big part of that. Because of your advice I 'just got on with it'. I stopped counting calories (it has never worked for me) and ate ketogenic food when I was hungry (until I wasn't hungry anymore). I have lost just over 90 lbs and 12 inches from my waist (I am no longer clinically obese). My mental clarity has improved, my joint pain has gone, I have almost no migraines and I feel like a new man. The work you do here is so important. I have no idea how many lives you have saved this way. You are a scholar and a gentleman, a true healer. After decades of being bullied and failed by the medical establishment in the UK I am finally made whole. Thank you so much.
Been doing keto 8 months and loving being fat adapted. Why is the whole world not eating the phd... I've never come across anything that has impacted my life as much as besides meeting that special woman.
mental clarity started after a few days for me. slow at first but really kicked in a short period. After spending several weeks with little drive it makes a huge difference on what I can do in a day.
On keto for to week. I find life so much better. Nothing bothers me. My knees feel so much better. Sleeping better . Even when I have to get up and pee in the night. Down 9 lbs. I eat 2 meals a day. Lunch and supper. Just have my coffee in the morning. Eating supper around 7 pm. So am fasting till 11 or 12 the next day. Works for me.
Hey Doc. I literally JUST started to do this Keto thing (12/26/21…today is 1/2/22). Thank you for making it easy to understand and helping with understanding what to expect.
I am almost 2 years into KETO, I have lost 83 lbs. Changing to this way of eating has changed my life and I would recommend it to anyone. YES, we still eat carbs, just not from the regular source (bread, pasta, sugars etc.) but is such a doable diet and so cool I would say GO FOR IT! This is the sign you should if you are still contemplating it. All these signs are now present in my life and YES, it took a while for all of them to show but KETO works! I have never had to take ketones and have moved from dirty to strict Keto and carnivore as needed (carb cycling) works too!
Thank you. Type 2 diabetes over here. 6 days on keto. 2 days into the diet my brain fog disappeared, the diabetic shakes gone, 4 days in my frozen shoulder went away and I can now reach above my head, 5 days in my cracked heals went away, 6 days in my cystic acne on face GONE! Not to mentioned my mood stabilized, my depression feels like it's going away after 15 yrs on pills and its only gonna get better....a huge huge smile on my face!! Thank you Jesus! Praise God!
Love your channel, Dr. Berry! You're the reason I came back to Keto. I have learned a lot from you. I'm starting my 5th day on Keto and have lost 7.2 pounds (as of yesterday), and I'm not hungry! Thanks for explaining everything so well!
This video makes me SO HAPPY! I've been following the proper human diet for l little over 3 months now, lost 30 pounds so far AND 6 out of 7 things have happened so me, gradually, like you said (I've never had any noticeable edema). Thank you, Dr. Berry!
Your scale doesn't tell the whole story. Your body is hard at work to heal itself and make you a better you. Now is the time to take pictures, take your measurements, note how your clothes are feeling. My scale didn't move an ounce for 3 weeks but I lost inches (yes, plural) off of my waist, hips, thighs and arms. Hang in there!
I've been on this path (keto and intermittent fasting) for the last 6 months and I can tell you I'm still learning. To kick things off I started with a 4 day fast. For me that was very helpful because it help me reset a lot of habits. One of my mistakes was to let my electrolytes get depleted. That would leave me feeling tired and mentally cloudy and would hinder weight loss. I'm discovering it's bit of a double-edged sword at the moment. When I get everything right I feel like I've developed superpowers. Unfortunately foods that don't agree with me and cause inflammation are becoming brutal. Tension, anxiety and joint inflammation is what happens. I was 295 lbs now I'm 230. I would suggest you start the day with black coffee no sugar and just drink water. if you're going for the one meal a day protocol which I can assure you is very effective. You will need to replace some salt in your body during the day. I personally have a small bottle of some very salty liquid (back olive brine) which I occasionally sip on. Anyways good luck.
I have to say of all of the Quito websites and subscriptions that I have on UA-cam doctor you have been the most helpful in just getting the basics down for Quito. I have just started the keto diet and worry a lot as to what to expect next and how to refine they diet that I'm on so thank you very much for your short videos I really appreciate your hard work on the video is to give us things that may be on our mind to cover. I'll keep watching waiting for another bright idea.
Philip hell no, my dude you did something no pill can fix on your own. Weightloss comes 2nd when it comes to fixing the damage we've done to ourselves over the years. Good on you man.
How about your your HDL and LDL?? Mine were above 5,000 and my LDL was high and HDL was low. I was put on a low carb low fat diet. I’m gong crazy over here
So glad I watched this -- been trying to do Keto for a few days now and was getting worried I was doing it wrong -- this helped a lot! Thank you! BTW - already feeling better!
I’m surprised at how much more energy I have each day since starting keto - it’s like turning the clock back 10 years. Since the Covid lockdown I had been eating way too many carbs and had been feeling weary and lacklustre all the time. But now I’m a bit like the Energiser Bunny - I just keep going even into the evening. Thank you so much for these really helpful videos.
Thank you, my life has changed markedly due to adopting carnivore and keto. Thanks to you! I am bloating-free, can eat eggs (2 eggs once a week) without pain, can drink high fat cream (not lactose free) in my coffee. I stopped eating salads, and started eating cabbage, broccoli, brussel sprouts & asparagus cooked in the oven with butter., I also eat more avacado, use bacon grease & I definitely eat my meat fat, m-m-m.m, sometimes crispy, double yummy.. I use butter, some high fat cream cheese on cucumber, & celery. I eat the skin on my chicken legs, and i am rarely hungry anymore. I cooked beef heart, it's delicious, liver, and lots if fatty meats, beef, chicken, pork & even the odd weiners, and deli meats. Every-so-often I do ingest some carbs (half a bun), but rarely. I'm having a difficult totally giving up milk (I use 3% lactose free milk). I was totally happy to hear about whipping cream, and have started using harder cheeses. QUESTION: What do you think about frozen yogurt? Thanks again for everthing! Oh by the way, I have lost 15 lbs. I have wound up fasting too, and was fine. I"m trying to listen to my body, so I still have some inflamation in my feet, usually when I have carbs, even just a little.
Me too. I was a size 6 in my early 20's went up to size 7 and stayed there for years, now back down to a size 6. So glad I kept my wardrobe of shoes. lol. Yes, still in fashion. lol
My ring size stayed the same but it's not causing a dent on my finger like it use to. It spins around now with ease. Congratulations on your success too.
When women have children, their body releases a hormone called relaxin to prepare for child birth. It causes ligaments to relax and stretch. And there are a lot of ligaments in the foot. So a lot of us women had their feet stretch from that and it's not just being "chunky". Weight gain can cause a similar effect.
I dropped my BMI from 43 to 29 in about a year on the Canada Food Guide diet. I only got up to 43 because my diet was terrible - I'll spare you the details of how that happened. I got from 29 to 27 on eat less move more, but that just lead to unhealthy cravings. I tried massive cardio, but I just gained 8 lbs - although I think that was mostly muscle. So I tried other things, and finally landed on keto. I'm one week in, haven't lost much, but I'm finally not hungry. Keto seems like a good path to OMAD for me. I'll let you know how it goes, but week one has been terrific. I'm finally not hungry all the time, and I think this might work. Potatoes can go to hell. I never knew I could eat so much spinach and romaine.
I appreciate how sensible and user friendly Dr. Berry's talks and information are. No product pitches. No crazy complicated and exhausting "formulas". Just basic common sense usable information. Thank you. I can do this!
I was a regular customer at dunkin doughnuts. Not anymore, lost 30 lbs, I was in high school 40 years ago. Now I’m at my high school weight. Keto works. My wife thinks I’m going to keel over. Never felt better.
7MonarC I’m on that part right now - I can eat a bucket of meat with fat and then a couple of hours later think everyone looks like a big cake or bowl of porridge!!!!
Ditto to Aleesha!!! I'm 10 days in, and have no gall bladder, and.......my poops stopped floating!! lol's! Will be starting ACV soon. These along with Aleesha's claims and I'm on my way!! Thank you Dr. Berry for being there and continuing with your 'bright ideas".
Just started a few days ago. And watched a show on Netflix called The Magic Pill. Been diagnosed with Malignant Melanoma Stage 3C , will NOT do chemo, etc, and Im hoping this will give me time. Wld love some feedback from the doc♥️
Want to add that I’ve been eating zero processed food for years and eat like a caveman hunter gatherer but was eating some fruit. Cut out the fruit now and counting carbs. Keeping them under 20 easily. Feedback appreciated
Have you looked into Vitamin B17? It is a nutrient found primarily in the seeds of fruit, particularly the apricot. It also is known by the names of laetrile, amygdalin and nitriloside. These names specifically indicate the purified form that was developed for the prevention and treatment of cancer. There are many testimonials from those who eat apricot seeds and have cured or greatly reduced their cancers. Pill and chemo pushing doctors refuse to admit the effectiveness of natural cures mainly because there is no money to be made from them. I firmly believe that my mother died from chemo treatments. Knowing what I know now about diet, she could have been cured or at least had a chance.
Sal fally, I also watched “The Magic Pill”. So full of information! It is amazing what a keto diet can do! The young girl with autism...totally amazing! Best wishes to you! With the help of keto, go kick that cancers @ss!!
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1999. I refused the slash, burn and poison offered by the doctors and after a lot of research into natural cures, I fasted for 37 days. Now I know about autophagy. The doctors were very angry but it's my body! Not much was known at the time about keto or low carb diets. I've been low carb or keto ever since. I'm now 69 and full of energy. God bless you, I'll pray for you.
Keto diet has resolved my "incurable" pityriasis rosea, 10 years of IBS, swollen belly, anxiety, depression, and who knows what other conditions were forming. And I started this diet when there wasn't much info on it, but rather by listening to my body and drawing conclusions from nature. It so amazing to find out what parts I had right and why and thankfully I wasn't doing anything wrong. Thank you, Dr. Berry, for finding the research and promoting knowledge sharing so that more people can discover this amazing new way of living. The only thing I was missing for a bit was increasing my sea salt enough and earlier in the day. I love not being H'angry any longer and not crazing sugar!!! The mental clarity and consistently high energy are amazing!
A year later I’ve reached target weight and now I have to eat the same things but in bigger meals just to hold it. Never known a way of eating that you have to tap the breaks on from time to time due to continued fat burning. Craziest thing I’ve ever done and so happy I did it! 75 pounds gone and I’m so much healthier now at 53 years old.
Thanks Doc Berry! Another great video. I’d love to hear you talk about sodium and Keto. Rumor has it that Keto flu might be related to sodium deficiency. I know low sodium has effected my athletic performance. I’ve also suffered from cramps and headaches while living Keto. Upping the salt has fixed both. Think it’s worth talking about. Thanks for all your doing!
Jim Tipton I think it is all the electrolytes, not just sodium that might be related. So as well as sodium, it could be a deficiency in potassium and magnesium too causing cramps and perhaps Keto flu also.
Kazzana Read “The Salt Fix” by James DiNicoloantonio. Elevated Insulin drives sodium retention. By lowering insulin your body flushes sodium. Also, when you eliminate SAD processed food, you get much less from your diet. Sodium also has an interaction with potassium and magnesium retention if memory serves me correctly. No doubt that all the electrolytes are important, but Keto really impacts sodium levels in a negative way and if not replaced can cause adverse reactions. Cramps, headaches, symptoms of overtraining in athletes to name a few.
Insulin is raised to preserve the last of the electrolytes when you're depleted. Interfering with the process of ketosis. Explaining the headaches and the tired feeling.
After the first month of no carbs, i noticed the mood swings and sugar high and burnouts ended. My energy and alertness level stayed very stable throughout the day. Thank you!
I gotta be honest. Within the first 14 seconds I realize this video is not what I was expecting lol. In all fairness this is the first time I’ve seen this channel in my feed. When I saw the title and read the question about being fat adapted I immediately evaluated myself on the mental front on if I’ve become “fat adapted” in the sense of it not bothering me. We live in a society that promotes loving yourself and accepting who you are. I dont fall in line with that, personally, I seek to be different today than I was yesterday and different tomorrow than I am today, growing away from who I was and towards the person I was created to be (in Jesus). But Im also cautious of these dangerous mindsets. Yes I care for my body. I was bedridden from years and the food I eat and the activity I do have a huge impact on the healing process. But weight loss is honestly at the bottom of the list of priorities. It will come and eventually it will rise on the list. But everyone else is always focused on “you look like you’re losing weight” and not the “wow you’re doing great moving around and getting stronger”. I dont want to become “fat adaptive”, so when I saw your title it made me re-evaluate the reasoning weight loss is lower on the list to ensure there was no emotional reasoning. (At one point in time I preferred being over weight as a shield from men 🤷🏻♀️. Ive forgiven them and healed and grown from it! But because it was at one point a foothold for PTSD I like to be intentional to ensure it remains firmly planted in Jesus emotionally and mentally) This comment is totally unrelated to your video, I still have it paused at 14 seconds and Im sure of it lol. I dont eat Keto simply because being on a spefic diet doesnt meet my goals, but I would say my diet is pretty much veggies and meat with some fruit and rare bread/noodles. So I will indeed still finish the video and check out others. If you’ve read this far, thank you. I either don’t say anything or over-share 🤷🏻♀️ Thank you for bringing “fat adaption” to my attention, in both forms. God bless!
Thank you for making keto uncomplicated! Your advice and tips keep me motivated that I can do this! I'm a newbie, so your "unfancy" approach is super helpful 😁
100% true. Every single goddam point. God I love being in keto. Going off it and feeling shit has made me appreciate being in Ketosis so I am now keto and nothing will deter me
Perhaps the most difficult thing to overcome is the mental obstacle regarding eating habits. I haven't eaten anything for around 18 hours. I lifted for a couple of hours this morning. It's about 1730 right now. My mind is telling me to eat an avocado and a salad. My body is telling me, "Bitch, you're not even hungry." Learn to listen to the second voice. Keeping busy helps.
Thanks Doc! Very helpful! You've answered several of my questions. Been on the Keto for a week and a half. Feeling great and losing inches. Cravings beginning to swerve the fatty direction which is one of the things you mentioned.

I'm 7 days in, and the most important thing I noticed, is that I no longer have these sugar crashes if I don't eat for a couple of hours, I used to fear being hungry, because my blood sugar would drop so fast, and the brain fog and cold sweats would come. And my favourite thing: my hands aren't shaking anymore, even when I'm hungry, that never happened before.
Do KETO Right. Start here: bit.ly/KETO101
Can you do a video with information on what happens if you're fat adapted and then eat sugar, and what you should do after avsugar binge?
Is there any evidence that Keto diets help with fibromyalgia, endometriosis and interstitial cystitis and evening thyroid?
PLEASE HELP!!!, I’m wondering, do I have to be in ketosis constantly to become fat adapted or as long as I stay low carb I will get there? I had a sleep eat episode and it kicked me out of ketosis for a few days (I can be sure exactly what I ate but from what was left out it was a mixture or carbs and sugars! ( I no longer keep them in the house)) I was 4 weeks into starting keto! Will I now have to start again in regatta becoming fat adapted, I’m now 8 weeks in and definitely not fat adapted as I’m still craving and lack of energy ect so wondering if I’ve restarted?
I dont know if it's cause of keto if I pee alot cause I drink only water now and alot of it every day so its hard for me to know if I pee cause of water
How can a person not be fat adapted if the person doesn't eat carbohydrates and Intermittent fast every day?
1) pee a lot 2) not as hungry 3) blood pressure returns to normal 4) decrease carb cravings 5) increased mental clarity 6) consistent all day energy 7) edema reduces (swelling in legs)
Aleesha Sattva took me the entire video to find this comment, but thanks anyway. Haha
Thanks
Thanks. Even better than 1.5 speed. You are an angel.
All of the above!!!! Yippy! 10 days down 12#. I can hardly even remember wanting to eat a carb.
Ah! Thanks for saving me the time!! 😁
Who else here in the comment section is thankful that he doesn't use music for intro/exit ? I LOVE it!
Doug, thanks for making me laugh.
Me
Not me
No way man. It's not a health video unless there are blaring rock guitars and pictures of cartoon tigers! Who trusts a man with no cartoon tigers?!
and he has no wares to schlep, just important information
I’m almost 67 years old and have no thyroid. I was on Keto 2 months before letting someone talk me out of it. I had labs done 2 weeks after stopping Keto. I lost 25 lbs, I’m producing hormones, my blood glucose is improving. My dr thought I was doing hormone therapy! She demanded I get back on Keto!!! I am as of today and I already feel better. I told my dr about your free videos. She’s going to recommend you for beginners.
Don't you just hate it when people think you shouldn't do Keto yet your body shows that it should. Having to defend your ideas as to what works can be tiresome. I had friends too that said to be careful doing Keto yet they knew nothing about Keto !!! It amazes me. lol. Glad that you went back on it. Also Fantastic that YOU have educated Your own Doctor !!! So now the chain begins as your Doctor will educate other Doctors. Win Win !!
No, not anyone overweight. Just someone who was concerned about my health.
Yes, the same with my friends too
I have a friend who was against me starting Keto 2 months ago ... Used everything she could to talk me out of it ... Now im 20 lbs down and she is ohhh id say 8 pounds up and complains about sore joints and bloated belly, even ended up in the ER this last weekend because she thought she was having a heart attack ... It was Gas hahahahahaha Keto on Baby !!
A relative just texted me today telling me instead of Keto, I need to be on the Mediterranean diet. I don't know why people don't understand that diets don't work the same for everyone. I am diabetic and have no thyroid. Yet Keto works for me. It has repaired the cortisol issues I have had for 3 years and it is normal now. You'd think someone would be happy for me. My support system is pretty much non-existent. If I do something, anything really, I do it alone. I shouldn't let it bother me or be surprised.
This has been the best change in lifestyle. I was almost 300 lbs and was giving up. Craved carbs like crazy. Addicted. One day wake up call and started Keto and IF. I am down to 211 lbs today. Eat when I am hungry at least one meal a day maybe two. I feel so much better and have dropped from a 44 waist to now size 38. All of the 2xl clothes are gone and waiting for the XL to get baggy. It really works!
paul l God bless you in your success. Great testimony. May you continue to have victory!
Congratulations Paul!!!
☺ 💕 👍 XOXOX
Well done, I’m just starting out on this journey.
Paul l, That's awesome man, keep it up. I went from 228 lbs to my goal of 185 in just over three months, pants went from 38 to 32 and it feels great.
This is a marathon. Thanks all. There is no reason to go back down the rabbit hole. I continue to lose weekly and get to my goal of 170 lbs. I want to be able to run races again with pain from the extra weight. Getting there one pound at a time.
10 months...91 pounds lost, size 20 to 4, sugar level normal, BMI 46 to 16, cholesterol went from 225 to 99, high energy, clear thoughts, better sleep!! If you’re on the fence, DO IT!!! Don’t give up!!! It’s so worth it. Change your eating and just walk every day!!
@@kjsfl386 did your cholesterol go down even though this is a fairly high fat diet?
@@MerrrryBeth Yes. All my numbers went to the normal zones
Wow, congratulations! You did keto only? Did you fast as well?
@ No. only low carb and walking. It wasn’t true keto. I didn’t fast per se…With such a low caloric intake from the diet itself, it was if I fasted. I wasn’t hungry and actually forgot to eat.
Chicken breasts grilled or baked, coffee with cream, steamed broccoli and Green beans, eggs, bacon and other proteins only No tomatoes, onions, carrots,fruit, dairy at all. No supplements except daily multivitamin and potassium It was hard core. I never cheated. No alcohol but I did drink diet soda and at the end sugar-free pudding and popsicles.
@@kjsfl386 that’s amazing! What willpower… What did you do when you needed something sweet? No berries whatsoever? Sometimes I just sweeten my plain Greek yogurt with a little monk fruit sweetener… I usually add a few berries or make my own berry sauce from blueberries or raspberries…
Lately I’ve been having dreams of eating sugary cookies and eating cereal and pizza. I’m two weeks into keto. I think it’s my body’s last attempt to get me to start eating carbs and sugar again. but it ain’t 👏 gonna 👏happen 👏
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
I’m an ex- alcoholic (10 years) in recovery. Had many “DRUNK/ drinking” dreams…Yes I resonate 😇
This will not happen when you are fat adapted.
Every now and then I dream about popcorn. I don’t care much for desserts but I love popcorn, rice and potatoes. If you don’t buy them, then there is less temptation. My husband is the Vegan Carb King and his foods don’t bother me anymore. I just think about how miserable I would be if I eat it….quick decision, NO!!! Just drink some water or coffee. Keto and intermittent fasting. Keep moving and exercise. 😊😊😊
I'm proud and so excited to say that I've lost 44 pounds in 2 months on the keto diet and intermittent fasting. Trust me when I say the first 2 weeks were the toughest. But after that my whole life changed, i felt extremely full of energy my mental clarity was amazing basically my physical and mental health changed completely. I highly encourage anyone who is just starting or contemplating the keto to "GO FOR IT" it really works guys!!! I've never written a comment on UA-cam about anything but i just had to share my experience with keto!!!
🤗🤗🤗
Thanks on my second week and I feel so tired on my day off I slept 10 hours 😱 I hope this does not become the norm.
On Keto, weight loss, reduction in my blood pressure, no more sugar cravings, calm mind, no more Athlete's foot in summer, no more thrush, no more asthma, beautiful skin, fantastic sleep, no more post-nasal drip, endless energy, better mood. Best way to live the rest of my life. I'm a 66 year old, formerly obese woman. Thank you, Dr. Berry . Xx
I use my stomach as the clear indication. The flatter it gets the more i know im on the right track.
Bro We have been doing the same
Just because your flat doesn't mean your healthy, not picking holes
Yes! Started losing weight but at first the belly wasn't leaving now it's like whoa I better save some money for new pants 😜
I use my face in addition to my belly as an indicator
@@amberb071 this gives me encouragement, my belly fat hasn't shifted yet, but losing weight, day 14 of keto. So I just need to give it more time.
I’m on week four of Carnivore and ALL these things you talk about are happening to me! It is SO MOTIVATING! I’ve NEVER.... and I mean NEVER (I’m 57) been able to feel NO CRAVINGS an hour or two after a meal. Now, two meals a day are totally sufficient. I’m flipping out! Thanks for all your helpful videos.
CARN4LIFE
I have 2 meals a day sometimes and moving to one meal a day. Sometimes one meal is better for me and my brain is working better. I feel so free and I’m not thinking about food all the time anymore. I used to be a carb addict with my blood sugar jumping up and down like a roller coaster….and I couldn’t get off. Keto works. Give yourself time to get fat adapted. 😬😃😂
Hade good healthy Keto lunch the other day and as I was getting ready to start cooking supper, I realized I wasn’t all that hungry.
Decided to skip it and see how I felt. Morning came and I felt great. Decided on no breakfast, so it turned into my 1st 24hr fast.
When I ate lunch,I couldn’t even finish it before I felt full. Amazing.
Old me would have bet you a paycheck that wasn’t possible.
I have just been noticing I can go longer and longer now without food ... Ive been doing one meal a day for 4 days now ... I really Love this woe
I periodically do a reset when I catch myself slipping. When i do a 3 day fast it's not for the physical benefits it's for the mental benefit. During the week I do coffee in the morning, water water water during the day and then a keto friendly dinner. I keep things like hard boiled eggs, bacon jerky and pepperoni jerky at work when they have like cupcakes and donuts all that sweet stuff 3 feet from my desk.
Teri Hill it's great isnt it!! You don't have to worry about grabbing your lunch before you head out or waiting in a drive thru line ect
I use to always think ... If I leave for a few hours I will need food ... Or where am I going to eat lunch .. I was always planning my day around food. Now I drink my BPC and im good for the day ... like you I have snack foods like eggs or cheese, salami ... but rarely go after that ... I Love It ... wish Id known about Keto 30 years ago
Teri Hill me to. My son eats whatever at school and daycare but dinner is keto friendly and i keep fruits on hand for dessert for him.
4 months on carnivore. Just did a 8 km race with my son on the weekend. We ate 2 egg McMuffins minus the buns… no carb energy gels etc. loads of energy! My son came in 2nd! I came in 17th! Hey! Not bad for a 48 year old!
Number 8: your vision improves!
I turned 50 and now I can read my mobile without glasses!
Agreed.. Just started my keto 5 days ago due to kindey pain, blurred visions and chronic fatigue. All symptoms subsided by now. Lower back pain still there but minimal. The only thing I worried about is my energy level drops dramatically and I kinda see black every time I get up from sitting or lying down.
@@haness05 maybe the energy level will should back as normal when your body will become fat adapted... in the meantime take care of eating healthy food with lots of nutrients and vegetables
We develop fat deposits in our eyes too. I hope if we are burning that fat while on keto as well !
I'm hoping for improved vision!
@@haness05 I know this was a year ago but energy dropped first 2(?) weeks for me, just now getting more stable energy 👍
I started the keto diet with the common negativity of my family and friends , however ,. In two weeks I went from 320 lbs to 301 and after three more weeks I am currently at 280
What does your family have to say about that?
scott allen they’re like , “ oh I heard it was bad “ “ that’s a bad diet and that’s why some people don’t do it “. “ my friend did it and they got sick “ etc etc
@@giopruneda7266 yeah but what about after your weight loss?
I started March 1, 2018 at 232 lbs and BP 150 / 80. Started running 1-2 miles a day max (all I could do)
Exactly 3 1/2 months later, I was at 170lbs and BP 110 / 70. Consistent weight and BP ever since. Now training for 2 marathons so far coming up.
47 yrs old, and better shape and feel better than high school days. People ALL THE TIME, tell me they don’t even recognize me.
KETO is the absolute BEST lifestyle choice a person can make!
Stay with it, give it time, IT WORKS!
dtx1139 - FANTASTIC, I bet by now you're even lighter and thriving!
Thank you for your testimony and congratulations 🎉 😊
If your life is suddenly more awesome .... you’re fat adapted 👍
EMS Rusty WAITINGGGGG....👀🙌🤔
Yes!!!
Yussss! No better way to put it! Took me four weeks the first time. I dropped off after a surgery, and it actually took longer to get back into keto state after that. But now, after half a year, I can drop out and be right back in 1-2 days. BTW, this dude is actually pretty funny if you pay attention.
Keto for life!!
☺ 💕 👍
XOXOX
I legit feel like an entirely different person! Also, my husband no longer fears the hangry wife because she’s gone!
2 weeks into keto and my planter fasciitis is almost gone after one year of suffering from it ....amazing!!!!!
Tigressatwork Me too!!!
Tigressatwork my fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome are in remission, no pain, and lots of energy. Wish I'd known about this diet 10 yrs ago!
SAME!
Great! Something else to look forward to it
I’m on my first week, eating twice a day no cravings no hunger hoping to lose 100lbs 🙈
Milaries Toro Wishing you all the best on your journey. 👏🏻 I’m 90 lbs down in 5 months, awesome woe. When you become Fat Adapted the excess fat melts away effortlessly. It shouldn’t take you long and the other health benefits are amazing. 🥰 Enjoy the time knowing you’ll never have a weight problem ever again. 👌🏻
I'm there and with the intermittent fasting seems to bring on the mental clarity and more energy! I can fast 18 hours without being hungry! I never thought I would be able to do that.
Bowzer that's me too right there. For me it's the fasting
I'm fasting too. I love how it makes you feel. I'm at 20 hrs now..2 meals a day!:)
I made it to 20 hours today too and it was effortless. My 1 and only regret is I did not do this sooner!
Bowzer this is where i wanna be
I just came off my first 18 hour fast ... wow never thought Id ever be able to go that long but it was so easy .... I can now see how people can get away with eating only once a day ... gotta eat alot of fat tho ... I was stuffed ... ate at 2 pm and it lasted all day and night until next morning ... Im now drinking some coffee with all the goodies in it :)
If you’re on antidepressants try not having carb cravings, they’re 1 of the main side effects of mental health medication.
I have not been hungry since I started a ketogenic diet back in February 2018. Seriously, I am never, absolutely never hungry. This is opposed to being hungry all the time -- that's how it used to be for me, and that was really troubling to me. So glad not to be constantly hungry (or not hungry at all).
How are you motivated to eat if you're never hungry?
First werk here.
1. Peeing A LOT. Drinking A LOT of water daily. Very thirsty all day long. Eating once a day only red meat and salt.
2. Mood swings. Getting very emotional, sometimes depressed, but sometimes very calm and happy. Feeling the glympse, I think, of when I become fat adapted. That is what motivates me
3. Crazy to eat carbs. In my case I crave fruits. It is crazy.
4. Loss of focus, brain fog, cant think right sometimes. It comes and goes. I am feeling that besides that I am improving, I will keep this path to see where it goes. I really wanna feel like everyone says, energetic, mental clarity, etc.
@@green_firefly great, thanks for asking!
@@green_firefly good luck brother! After 40 days I was ok, before that it was a battle.
@@johndoex3x3 Don't you think you were lacking salt big time? Just something worth testing for others. When I drink water and am still so thirsty, it's because I am low on sodium (3 years on keto here)
@@ArmagedoOom ur comment came in great timing. That happened to me last few days, I drank almost 10 liters of waters daily and still thirsty. This night I got something that never happened to me before, I woke up feeling my calf twisting and in great pain, never had a cramp like this before. I had some magnesium, was not taking it for a while, but I took it today. Also I used a lot of salt today. I come from veganism with no salt, I was used to get thirsty when using salt while vegan, so I was not used to use it. I guess on carnivore it is different. I see a lot of carnivores using a lot of salt daily, I think how can they eat that amount of salt daily and not get thirsty and drink water all day? Maybe I need to increase the salt .. will try that, thanks my friend
@@johndoex3x3when you keep on being thirsty, add more fats, you’ll feel better, and more energised as well. When you drink so much water you’ll flush the electrolytes out and you’ll get a deficiency which can result in cramps.
After two years on carnivore I naturally felt like eating less and less salt btw, haven’t eaten any in 3 years now
My vision improved, stopped snoring, off alergy meds, bloating gone, and pain in joints got better, all within a couple weeks
I’ve been doing Keto for almost two weeks. The amount of energy I have going into week two has been amazing. I’m a nursing home nurse and on my feet all day which normally exhausts me. I also have RA which I’ve had for 12 years. I feel so tremendous it’s unreal. 💃🏻
I started Keto 3 weeks ago. While watching Dr. Berry I learned it is a non inflammatory diet. My sciatica had become unbearable and was desperate to get rid of the pain. Less than one week on the diet and I was virtually pain free! I'm a believer!
I've.had pitting edema since my early twenties. I'm 38 now. Keto clears up all of the edema and joint pain.
Tera Finley I know what you mean. I have ankles again!
Ive been on LCHF now nearly 3 years
My joint pain from knee injuries and ankle injuries and pain are gone
Im back running and have enormous amount of energy
All blood work tests are awesome
Im 52 and fitter and leaner than ive been in years👍😁🏃♂️
I experienced the same thing, my ankles are shredded now lol
Maybe it's also low potassium.
thanks for all your dedication to getting people healthy. It took 3 days and the constant swelling at the base of my skull was gone. 13 weeks and inflammation gone along with 54 lbs. It has changed my life - in actuality it has given me life back.
Yes no cravings and no urges to even eat non keto foods . I also have to almost force myself to eat after a 24 hour fast lol. . I only eat when I am really hungry now, usually 2 small meals between 4pm and 9pm
Theresa McDowell same here
Did that today actually
Two weeks in of 20:4 fasting and low carb I woke up a few days ago shocked that all of the bones in my feet were defined. I'm still a big girl! But all the swelling in my feet and ankles was gone. Amazing.
This happened to me too. I've always had short stubby toes like little sausages. A month or so into keto I noticed I had to knuckles and spaces between my toes. It's ridiculous how excited this made me.
Yep, my foot and ankle swelling is all gone and I can see all my tendons on top of my feet again!
I'm in 15 days.... And I answered yes to all 7 !!!!!!!!!!! Loving my new lifestyle... I'm no longer engaged to Ronald McDonald!!!! I feel so eliberated 🍟 🍔 👎
Eliberated?
Chantel Ortiz still order a sausage egg McMuffin, no muffin and two senior coffees. Delish!
Engaged to Ronald... 😃
@@MegaOzzy28 need your mouth and mind washed out with soap. Disgusting..
Hows it going??
My husband had a fun time duscussing his new lab results with his M.D. in barely over 2 months his A1C droped from 10.8 to 7 along with a whole bunch of other improvements. A 30 lb weightloss and reducing his insulin by 2/3 was another. SO.. Guess what his Dr. Told him...almost insisting, "Make sure you reward yourself with a little ice cream. Enjoy life" ... (???) I am wondering if keto WOE is cutting into their profits (?)
Wow. That is sad, isn't it? And so many doctors being overweight and ill looking. Reward? How about good health and long life? Wow.
Just make some Keto friendly ice ;)
Doctors can be idiots!
Wow.
There's keto-friendly ice cream, even in vegan varieties if you're into that (Both make me sick, so no go, lol), but that might be a good sign it's time to find a new doctor =).
#8 Pain from inflammatory conditions is also reduced or even ceases altogether!
100% true. 14 lbs in 2 weeks, 26 lbs in the first month. Inflammation way down, sleep is better. My energy is not as high, but it is definitely more sustainable over the day. I feel like over the next month, I'll be fully used to how the energy is working itself out. I feel just a tad flat during the gym, running, hiking, etc, but it is getting better daily. I've never seen my body transform this rapidly. I'm getting the body back I had in my youth. For anyone on the fence, do it!
When I'm sitting still, I almost feel like I could go to sleep, but when I get moving I have all the energy in the world. I actually have to make sure I don't spend too much time working out... Thanks ketosis
I lost 25 lbs in 2 months under keto and still losing. I don’t feel as hungry. I am fat adapted now I don’t crave as much for carbs. This will be my lifestyle from now on.
My husband finally joined me on ketogenic diet!👏👏👏 He's down 20 pounds. Makes cooking so much easier. He even cleaned out the pantry of stuff I missed ☺ We are both fasting everyday. Life is even better! Thank you Dr Ken for all that you do!💞
After 14 weeks, I'm not hungry ever! It's very freeing.
Carb cravings are gone. Lost 22kgs..
I just started keto and lost 2kg in 6 days but I'm stuck with the same weight for 5 days now.
I commented because I finally saw someone uses kg rather than pounds. 🤣🤣🤣
How many net carbs do you eat in a day?
I’ll admit that I was terrified of having to go on Keto (my liver specialist enthusiastically suggested it) because of what was told by doctors 30+ years ago; that you need low-fat everything and that too much fat and meat-eating will clog your arteries. I’ve only been Keto for a short while and already notice insane improvements!
I’m a type 2 diabetic and my blood sugars have been insanely high no matter what I did. On average, they would be around 230 in the morning and almost 500 two hours after eating. Also found out I’m insulin-resistant and have a non-alcoholic fatty liver. First Endocrynologist said I needed to eat 60g of carbs PER MEAL! I felt insanely worse and sought out another Endocrynologist who got me on the right track. Not only do I have more energy with Keto, but my blood sugars are within normal range! What’s crazy is that it happened almost immediately. Insane.
Thank you for all the hard work and the information you share with your videos, Dr. Berry! 🙏
I am 73 years old and remember when I was a kid......no more butter, margarine only. No more saturated fats. It is hard to absorb all this Keto info. Got the book “ LIES” and it slaps you in the face. After a terrible A1C (deserved) I am Keto for 5 weeks. Have lost over 12 lbs. and I have waaaaay more energy. Keep your fingers crossed for my next A1C on 9-17-20. I have been so good!
That's insane!!
Day 5 of Keto and my body is thanking me! I know realize carbs and sugar were poisoning me. I have had zero sugar/carb cravings and fill so full when just last week I was always ravenous and looking for snacks. This really is life changing
Down 36 lbs in week 12...yeah baby!
OMG I hate you! Nicole :)
Me too!
I've been off Keto for 6 months, started watching your videos and I'm back on! You are a great inspiration, your common sense approach is the best way to attack Keto, thanks for all you do!
I'm on day 13 of Keto I'm down 14 lbs, and checked every single box you just mentioned. Thank you for your help!
My very painful arthritis has all but disappeared in my knees and hands. I only had to lose six kilos. Low carb and intermittent fasting 18 hours daily. At 68! I get up in the morning feeling good. Before this I didn't want to get out of bed in the morning.
Everything you said was spot on. My favorite part being how early and sharp I wake up and my 100% consistent energy during the day even when I do one or even two training sessions.
I have been doing IF for 3 weeks down 22 pounds.I can tell my stomach is getting smaller because I can start to see my little friend again.
I noticed that now when I eat something with carbs I get stomach pains and nauseous.
Scooter Wilson - Me too, keeps me on track to avoid the discomfort.
Arent the cramps the pits? A slice of apple pie had me curled up on the couch in the fetal position. I was in agony. The had a bright idea! I made a small spinach shake with some of my nutritional goodies in it. Pain subsided and I gave my gut some healing help.
No more pie or bread for me again.
Ship Creek Oh God the cramps suck lol.
Scooter Wilson yeah and I get so tired too, especially the next day and all my chronic pain returns. Yet when I'm on track, I have so much energy I can't seem to use it up! I hate myself when I slip up and eat carbs. I did it last night and I've been tired and achy all day, been super strict on macros today to get back in ketosis as fast as possible.
whenever I eat pizza. I only eat the cheese sauce and toppings XD everyone looks at me weird
I’ve lost almost 50 pounds doing 1-2 month keto-sprints since late 2021. Without gaining the weight back! This stuff works!
I read your book last summer, loved it and passed it to family members! I've been doing keto for 9 months and the best thing that happened to me (besides all the things you mentioned) is that my life disabling FIBROMYALGIA DISAPPEARED.... (and I'm off ALL pharmaceutical drugs including pain meds!!)
Thanks!
You put my mind at ease! I've been doing this for a few months but one day a week I eat carbs and zero fat for one meal. For the first time I've gone strict for 3 weeks and yesterday woke up with zero foot and finger pain that I've had for years believing it to be arthritis. Then last night I woke from an amazing deep sleep at 1am, slightly urinating like a tinkle. All day today I've been urinating every 2 hours. Scared me but I feel awesome. I'm not hungry. I'll monitor but this video helped.
Love the carnivore diet…there’s a associated learning curve and a key factor is eating enough fat
It’s been 4 1/2 weeks for me and I’m still waiting for the all day energy and mental clarity. Otherwise I feel fantastic and I’ve lost 17 pounds
It's been 5 months, still waiting on the energy. Some never get it. I guess I'm one of them. I have lost 70lbs so I'm not complaining.
I'm in the same boat Chad B, but I am 4 weeks 4 days in and only lost 16.8 pounds.
I'm 6 months in and I dont have any of these signs and my weight loss is stalled at 15lbs
Maybe now you can wake up earlier or sleep less and not feel so tired that's how I noticed the energy boost.
Are you doing intermittent fasting?
Been doing keto since June 2018. I started IF and keto December 2018. I lost 38 lbs, my A1C went from 9.6 down to 5.4, my blood glucose was 313 and is now consistently under 110. My cholesterol levels are all in normal range and I feel fantastic with tons of energy. I am off Metformin, Victoza, Crestor. and Lisinipril. Keto really works! Thank you for all you do Dr. Berry. ❤
Having been in and out of keto a few times over the years, I've learned the #1 way of determining if you are fat adapted...see how long you can hold your breath. If you can suddenly hold your breath twice as long as you have ever been able to, your metabolism has fully fat-adapted, and is now using, and requiring, less oxygen.
You're right. I can hold my breath more than 1 minutes and I can't even do that before
Hello Dr Berry and thank you.
I began my keto journey a little over a year ago and you were a big part of that. Because of your advice I 'just got on with it'. I stopped counting calories (it has never worked for me) and ate ketogenic food when I was hungry (until I wasn't hungry anymore).
I have lost just over 90 lbs and 12 inches from my waist (I am no longer clinically obese). My mental clarity has improved, my joint pain has gone, I have almost no migraines and I feel like a new man.
The work you do here is so important. I have no idea how many lives you have saved this way. You are a scholar and a gentleman, a true healer.
After decades of being bullied and failed by the medical establishment in the UK I am finally made whole.
Thank you so much.
Thumbs up to you Garrick! Nicole (Canada)
There are a lot of videos on this subject. This was one of the best because it lists the signs in an easy to understand format. Thank you doctor.
Been doing keto 8 months and loving being fat adapted. Why is the whole world not eating the phd... I've never come across anything that has impacted my life as much as besides meeting that special woman.
Just started Keto - your medical expertise is also dripping with common sense I truly appreciate thank you!
I was type two and you have changed my life
mental clarity started after a few days for me. slow at first but really kicked in a short period. After spending several weeks with little drive it makes a huge difference on what I can do in a day.
On keto for to week. I find life so much better. Nothing bothers me. My knees feel so much better. Sleeping better . Even when I have to get up and pee in the night. Down 9 lbs. I eat 2 meals a day. Lunch and supper. Just have my coffee in the morning. Eating supper around 7 pm. So am fasting till 11 or 12 the next day. Works for me.
Hey Doc. I literally JUST started to do this Keto thing (12/26/21…today is 1/2/22). Thank you for making it easy to understand and helping with understanding what to expect.
I am almost 2 years into KETO, I have lost 83 lbs. Changing to this way of eating has changed my life and I would recommend it to anyone. YES, we still eat carbs, just not from the regular source (bread, pasta, sugars etc.) but is such a doable diet and so cool I would say GO FOR IT! This is the sign you should if you are still contemplating it.
All these signs are now present in my life and YES, it took a while for all of them to show but KETO works! I have never had to take ketones and have moved from dirty to strict Keto and carnivore as needed (carb cycling) works too!
Thank you. Type 2 diabetes over here. 6 days on keto. 2 days into the diet my brain fog disappeared, the diabetic shakes gone, 4 days in my frozen shoulder went away and I can now reach above my head, 5 days in my cracked heals went away, 6 days in my cystic acne on face GONE! Not to mentioned my mood stabilized, my depression feels like it's going away after 15 yrs on pills and its only gonna get better....a huge huge smile on my face!! Thank you Jesus! Praise God!
Amanda Christian - I'm so happy for you, by now many other great positive things have happened with you and your health. GOD Bless You and Yours! :)
Amanda what a blessing! I have been on this diet for a week now and my mental clarity is much better also.
On keto for a month. Energy is astounding! I feel at least 10 years younger. Thank you, Doc, for this valuable advice. I will skip the meters.
Love your channel, Dr. Berry! You're the reason I came back to Keto. I have learned a lot from you. I'm starting my 5th day on Keto and have lost 7.2 pounds (as of yesterday), and I'm not hungry! Thanks for explaining everything so well!
This video makes me SO HAPPY! I've been following the proper human diet for l little over 3 months now, lost 30 pounds so far AND 6 out of 7 things have happened so me, gradually, like you said (I've never had any noticeable edema). Thank you, Dr. Berry!
I am three weeks on Keto and only 5 lbs down. And I have a lot to lose. I am in ketosis. Frustrated but not giving up.
Your scale doesn't tell the whole story. Your body is hard at work to heal itself and make you a better you. Now is the time to take pictures, take your measurements, note how your clothes are feeling. My scale didn't move an ounce for 3 weeks but I lost inches (yes, plural) off of my waist, hips, thighs and arms. Hang in there!
Ann Genaske Thank you! I will do that for sure.
Stay off the scale. Its not your friend. Focus on Good health and healing. The weight will go when its time. And it wont return!😄
Don’t get discouraged! Slow progress is still progress!
I've been on this path (keto and intermittent fasting) for the last 6 months and I can tell you I'm still learning.
To kick things off I started with a 4 day fast. For me that was very helpful because it help me reset a lot of habits.
One of my mistakes was to let my electrolytes get depleted. That would leave me feeling tired and mentally cloudy and would hinder weight loss.
I'm discovering it's bit of a double-edged sword at the moment. When I get everything right I feel like I've developed superpowers. Unfortunately foods that don't agree with me and cause inflammation are becoming brutal. Tension, anxiety and joint inflammation is what happens.
I was 295 lbs now I'm 230.
I would suggest you start the day with black coffee no sugar and just drink water.
if you're going for the one meal a day protocol which I can assure you is very effective. You will need to replace some salt in your body during the day. I personally have a small bottle of some very salty liquid (back olive brine) which I occasionally sip on.
Anyways good luck.
I have to say of all of the Quito websites and subscriptions that I have on UA-cam doctor you have been the most helpful in just getting the basics down for Quito. I have just started the keto diet and worry a lot as to what to expect next and how to refine they diet that I'm on so thank you very much for your short videos I really appreciate your hard work on the video is to give us things that may be on our mind to cover. I'll keep watching waiting for another bright idea.
KETO. (Dumb auto text) i didnt spell check.
In 8 weeks of keto, my triglycerides went from 5,000 (not a typo) to 470.
Philip holy moly amazing progress!
System Of A FoX thanks. So I'm not exaggerating when I say keto saved my life.
Philip hell no, my dude you did something no pill can fix on your own. Weightloss comes 2nd when it comes to fixing the damage we've done to ourselves over the years. Good on you man.
How about your your HDL and LDL?? Mine were above 5,000 and my LDL was high and HDL was low. I was put on a low carb low fat diet. I’m gong crazy over here
Wow!!!
Wow, Just started keto 2 weeks ago and I have experienced almost all these. I have tons of energy, brain fog gone and also bloating gone.
So glad I watched this -- been trying to do Keto for a few days now and was getting worried I was doing it wrong -- this helped a lot! Thank you! BTW - already feeling better!
I’m surprised at how much more energy I have each day since starting keto - it’s like turning the clock back 10 years. Since the Covid lockdown I had been eating way too many carbs and had been feeling weary and lacklustre all the time. But now I’m a bit like the Energiser Bunny - I just keep going even into the evening. Thank you so much for these really helpful videos.
Dr. Berry, you are a great source of simple, basic answers to complicated questions. Many thanks.
Thank you, my life has changed markedly due to adopting carnivore and keto. Thanks to you!
I am bloating-free, can eat eggs (2 eggs once a week) without pain, can drink high fat cream (not lactose free) in my coffee.
I stopped eating salads, and started eating cabbage, broccoli, brussel sprouts & asparagus cooked in the oven with butter.,
I also eat more avacado, use bacon grease & I definitely eat my meat fat, m-m-m.m, sometimes crispy, double yummy..
I use butter, some high fat cream cheese on cucumber, & celery.
I eat the skin on my chicken legs, and i am rarely hungry anymore.
I cooked beef heart, it's delicious, liver, and lots if fatty meats, beef, chicken, pork & even the odd weiners, and deli meats.
Every-so-often I do ingest some carbs (half a bun), but rarely.
I'm having a difficult totally giving up milk (I use 3% lactose free milk). I was totally happy to hear about whipping cream, and have started using harder cheeses.
QUESTION: What do you think about frozen yogurt?
Thanks again for everthing!
Oh by the way, I have lost 15 lbs. I have wound up fasting too, and was fine.
I"m trying to listen to my body, so I still have some inflamation in my feet, usually when I have carbs, even just a little.
I've gone down a whole shoe size.... lol
Me too. I was a size 6 in my early 20's went up to size 7 and stayed there for years, now back down to a size 6. So glad I kept my wardrobe of shoes. lol. Yes, still in fashion. lol
My ring size stayed the same but it's not causing a dent on my finger like it use to. It spins around now with ease. Congratulations on your success too.
Lady Keto same! I'm almost afraid to wear my wedding ring. Time to resize
My God, I wish! If my feet were any bigger id have to start buying mens shoes!
When women have children, their body releases a hormone called relaxin to prepare for child birth. It causes ligaments to relax and stretch. And there are a lot of ligaments in the foot.
So a lot of us women had their feet stretch from that and it's not just being "chunky". Weight gain can cause a similar effect.
I dropped my BMI from 43 to 29 in about a year on the Canada Food Guide diet. I only got up to 43 because my diet was terrible - I'll spare you the details of how that happened. I got from 29 to 27 on eat less move more, but that just lead to unhealthy cravings. I tried massive cardio, but I just gained 8 lbs - although I think that was mostly muscle. So I tried other things, and finally landed on keto. I'm one week in, haven't lost much, but I'm finally not hungry. Keto seems like a good path to OMAD for me. I'll let you know how it goes, but week one has been terrific. I'm finally not hungry all the time, and I think this might work. Potatoes can go to hell. I never knew I could eat so much spinach and romaine.
I appreciate how sensible and user friendly Dr. Berry's talks and information are. No product pitches. No crazy complicated and exhausting "formulas". Just basic common sense usable information. Thank you. I can do this!
Down 18 lbs in 4 weeks. With 16oz of BPC in the morning I usually forget about lunch.
I was a regular customer at dunkin doughnuts. Not anymore, lost 30 lbs, I was in high school 40 years ago. Now I’m at my high school weight. Keto works. My wife thinks I’m going to keel over. Never felt better.
Yes, for sure! Down 25lbs from 4/30...:)!
I have experienced all 7 of these in my first week of keto. I feel fantastic! Thank you Dr Berry for all your valuable info!
"If you didn't get some carbs, you're about to slap somebody."
This period at the start of the diet rings so true. 😂
7MonarC I’m on that part right now - I can eat a bucket of meat with fat and then a couple of hours later think everyone looks like a big cake or bowl of porridge!!!!
YES!!!!
@@teacher_ps Bruh...
Ditto to Aleesha!!! I'm 10 days in, and have no gall bladder, and.......my poops stopped floating!! lol's! Will be starting ACV soon. These along with Aleesha's claims and I'm on my way!! Thank you Dr. Berry for being there and continuing with your 'bright ideas".
Just started a few days ago. And watched a show on Netflix called The Magic Pill. Been diagnosed with Malignant Melanoma Stage 3C , will NOT do chemo, etc, and Im hoping this will give me time. Wld love some feedback from the doc♥️
Want to add that I’ve been eating zero processed food for years and eat like a caveman hunter gatherer but was eating some fruit. Cut out the fruit now and counting carbs. Keeping them under 20 easily. Feedback appreciated
Have you looked into Vitamin B17? It is a nutrient found primarily in the seeds of fruit, particularly the apricot. It also is known by the names of laetrile, amygdalin and nitriloside. These names specifically indicate the purified form that was developed for the prevention and treatment of cancer. There are many testimonials from those who eat apricot seeds and have cured or greatly reduced their cancers. Pill and chemo pushing doctors refuse to admit the effectiveness of natural cures mainly because there is no money to be made from them. I firmly believe that my mother died from chemo treatments. Knowing what I know now about diet, she could have been cured or at least had a chance.
Sal fally, I also watched “The Magic Pill”. So full of information! It is amazing what a keto diet can do! The young girl with autism...totally amazing! Best wishes to you! With the help of keto, go kick that cancers @ss!!
Sal fally Have you looked into H2O2(Hydrogen Peroxide) therapy ? A youtube search will bring much info.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1999. I refused the slash, burn and poison offered by the doctors and after a lot of research into natural cures, I fasted for 37 days. Now I know about autophagy. The doctors were very angry but it's my body! Not much was known at the time about keto or low carb diets. I've been low carb or keto ever since. I'm now 69 and full of energy. God bless you, I'll pray for you.
The comments that take at most 10seconds to read that break down key points in a 5+ minute video are my saving grace so thank you for that
Thank you glad to know I’m not the only one going threw all the symptoms I can’t wait till I stabilize.
On day 5
Keto diet has resolved my "incurable" pityriasis rosea, 10 years of IBS, swollen belly, anxiety, depression, and who knows what other conditions were forming.
And I started this diet when there wasn't much info on it, but rather by listening to my body and drawing conclusions from nature. It so amazing to find out what parts I had right and why and thankfully I wasn't doing anything wrong. Thank you, Dr. Berry, for finding the research and promoting knowledge sharing so that more people can discover this amazing new way of living. The only thing I was missing for a bit was increasing my sea salt enough and earlier in the day.
I love not being H'angry any longer and not crazing sugar!!! The mental clarity and consistently high energy are amazing!
Thank you! Your work is amazing. Saying it like it really is so rare and and valuable!
A year later I’ve reached target weight and now I have to eat the same things but in bigger meals just to hold it. Never known a way of eating that you have to tap the breaks on from time to time due to continued fat burning. Craziest thing I’ve ever done and so happy I did it! 75 pounds gone and I’m so much healthier now at 53 years old.
Thanks Doc Berry! Another great video. I’d love to hear you talk about sodium and Keto. Rumor has it that Keto flu might be related to sodium deficiency. I know low sodium has effected my athletic performance. I’ve also suffered from cramps and headaches while living Keto. Upping the salt has fixed both. Think it’s worth talking about. Thanks for all your doing!
Jim Tipton
I think it is all the electrolytes, not just sodium that might be related. So as well as sodium, it could be a deficiency in potassium and magnesium too causing cramps and perhaps Keto flu also.
Kazzana Read “The Salt Fix” by James DiNicoloantonio. Elevated Insulin drives sodium retention. By lowering insulin your body flushes sodium. Also, when you eliminate SAD processed food, you get much less from your diet. Sodium also has an interaction with potassium and magnesium retention if memory serves me correctly. No doubt that all the electrolytes are important, but Keto really impacts sodium levels in a negative way and if not replaced can cause adverse reactions. Cramps, headaches, symptoms of overtraining in athletes to name a few.
Thanks Jim, my husband stopped getting severe leg cramps after taking a magnesium supplement, so I thought it is a consideration.
Insulin is raised to preserve the last of the electrolytes when you're depleted. Interfering with the process of ketosis. Explaining the headaches and the tired feeling.
Check out his Ketorade video; I drink it daily
After the first month of no carbs, i noticed the mood swings and sugar high and burnouts ended. My energy and alertness level stayed very stable throughout the day. Thank you!
I'm so happy I found Dr. Berry!!!!
I gotta be honest. Within the first 14 seconds I realize this video is not what I was expecting lol. In all fairness this is the first time I’ve seen this channel in my feed.
When I saw the title and read the question about being fat adapted I immediately evaluated myself on the mental front on if I’ve become “fat adapted” in the sense of it not bothering me.
We live in a society that promotes loving yourself and accepting who you are. I dont fall in line with that, personally, I seek to be different today than I was yesterday and different tomorrow than I am today, growing away from who I was and towards the person I was created to be (in Jesus).
But Im also cautious of these dangerous mindsets. Yes I care for my body. I was bedridden from years and the food I eat and the activity I do have a huge impact on the healing process. But weight loss is honestly at the bottom of the list of priorities. It will come and eventually it will rise on the list.
But everyone else is always focused on “you look like you’re losing weight” and not the “wow you’re doing great moving around and getting stronger”.
I dont want to become “fat adaptive”, so when I saw your title it made me re-evaluate the reasoning weight loss is lower on the list to ensure there was no emotional reasoning.
(At one point in time I preferred being over weight as a shield from men 🤷🏻♀️. Ive forgiven them and healed and grown from it! But because it was at one point a foothold for PTSD I like to be intentional to ensure it remains firmly planted in Jesus emotionally and mentally)
This comment is totally unrelated to your video, I still have it paused at 14 seconds and Im sure of it lol.
I dont eat Keto simply because being on a spefic diet doesnt meet my goals, but I would say my diet is pretty much veggies and meat with some fruit and rare bread/noodles. So I will indeed still finish the video and check out others.
If you’ve read this far, thank you. I either don’t say anything or over-share 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you for bringing “fat adaption” to my attention, in both forms.
God bless!
Thank you for making keto uncomplicated! Your advice and tips keep me motivated that I can do this! I'm a newbie, so your "unfancy" approach is super helpful 😁
100% true. Every single goddam point. God I love being in keto. Going off it and feeling shit has made me appreciate being in Ketosis so I am now keto and nothing will deter me
Just finished my grilled ribeye, mozzarella cheese, and devilled eggs!
Perhaps the most difficult thing to overcome is the mental obstacle regarding eating habits.
I haven't eaten anything for around 18 hours. I lifted for a couple of hours this morning. It's about 1730 right now. My mind is telling me to eat an avocado and a salad. My body is telling me, "Bitch, you're not even hungry."
Learn to listen to the second voice. Keeping busy helps.
Thanks Doc! Very helpful! You've answered several of my questions. Been on the Keto for a week and a half. Feeling great and losing inches. Cravings beginning to swerve the fatty direction which is one of the things you mentioned.
I'm 7 days in, and the most important thing I noticed, is that I no longer have these sugar crashes if I don't eat for a couple of hours, I used to fear being hungry, because my blood sugar would drop so fast, and the brain fog and cold sweats would come.
And my favourite thing: my hands aren't shaking anymore, even when I'm hungry, that never happened before.
