Thank You
Thank you!!
Thank you!
Thanks Nam!
Thank you
I was introduced to Keto in 2018 and started following a very low carb diet since Feb 2019. I reached my weight loss goal about 1.5 years into the new life style and have maintained the same size ever since. Of all the YouTube videos I’ve watched, yours is the only original channel I’ve continued watching. I like your approach. Thank you.
Congratulations, Suzanne! Thank you so much for your comment!
Suzanne, I’m gonna reach my weight loss goal on Keto within a month. I’m gonna need some help on how many carbs to add back for me to maintain. Big Chocolate Cake? LOL . . uh, No!

Would be really grateful if you have a moment, to know roughly what you eat as I cannot quite get to full keto! I eat a very healthy diet, either OMAD or intermittent fasting and have no desire for sweets or snacking and only drink green tea. But I cannot live without potatoes or rice or some sourdough toast sometimes so I am not quite sure what low carb means. Would really appreciate your advice as it sounds as if it works for you.
I am 75 and don’t have any major health issues and haven’t seen a doctor for 30 years or more but as old age looms I need to give it a bit more effort to my health !!
Namaste 💜🙏💜
Glad Keith is doing great! Thanks for the lesson on sugar, flour and oils. 😘💙
Thank you
I developed elevated blood sugar although I never ate sweets, I just put a teaspoon of sugar in my morning coffee (no longer). Banishing flour, rice, starchy vegetables like corn (really a cereal grain) and potatoes helped a lot more. Unfortunately, we were all strongly urged by doctors to make these simple starches the backbone of our diets during the stupid Low-Fat recommendations of a couple of decades ago. This did more damage to Americans’ health than anything else, we are fatter, have more diabetes and fatty livers, etc., than ever before.
And medical professionals are in denial
It was done on purpose. The food chemists are heavily invested in pharma.
I’ve been on a Mediterranean diet since August 1st of this year and haven’t had a soda since June and no candy since August but have recently had a couple slices of pie since it was Thanksgiving. I haven’t been perfect but I’ve been following the diet about 95% of the time and getting more exercise though with my schedule, not enough. To date I’ve lost thirty pounds on my way to my initial goal of 200. After that we’ll see where I stabilize.
Good luck to you Bill!
I’m very interested in starting the Mediterranean diet. Are there different versions. Which is best?
@Carol Coleman I just started with some recipes from YouTube and have since bought a couple of cookbooks. I think it’s just a style in general with maybe some regional variations. As far as I can tell, it’s all good.
When I eat sugar or let my guard down and eat junk food my arthritis flares up as does my sciatica . Good to know Keith is doing great !!!
Ditto. Let my guard down last weekend, suffering flare ups last 4 days. My diet is so clean now that the flare ups come quick and fast and are so obviously and undeniably linked to the food.
Same here
@Ade Larsen Well said. You know how to get to the point 😊
YES!!!! Same here!!! Back pain, knee pain!!!
Dr Becky, I had signed up for your 21-day “Low Carb Challenge” and lost 40 lbs. It’s wonderful! Only now am I ready to let go of sugar and will begin to eliminate it from our kitchen. We (hubby and I) already use only olive oil, some avocado and grapeseed oil, and no seed oils. I cook from scratch, garden, and we raise our own meats. I think correcting our eating habits first should make eliminating sugar easier. Well, except for dark chocolate! I’m keeping that, in moderation of course, lol. Thank you so much for your hard work developing these programs to help us all stay healthier. Blessings to you!
Congratulations, Mama J! It looks like you have a great plan for healthy living!
I would love to do the 21 day low carb challenge! Where may I find it?
This is an excellent video to share with anyone starting their journey to better health- and GRET timing before all those new years resolutions lead people down the wrong path. I’m also very glad to hear that Keith is doing well. Have a wonderful and healthy holiday!
Thank you, J Birdsong!
Are you Jerry’s Birdsong?
I just started a WFPB diet after being pescatarian for years. I feel like eliminating unhealthy oils has been key for reducing inflammation and I can feel the difference already. Thanks for being a great resource Dr Becky!
One year ago, at the age of 67 and carrying around a bit of postmenopausal weight, I began eliminating these foods from my diet. It was a process…for example, I swapped wheat crackers for almond meal crackers, but eventually eliminated those, too, because eating them was keeping me from losing weight and feeling good. As soon as I made the switch to eating whole foods and leaving sugar, flour and seed oils out of my diet, I started to drop the weight and ultimately lost 30 pounds. I no longer take blood pressure medication and today was at 107/61. Sometimes my friends ask me what I’ve been doing…well, it’s what I’m NOT doing anymore that probably best describes it! Thank you for your informative videos…they are clear, concise and so very helpful! Kind regards!
Great comment, NeverBetter! Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely right!
Totally agree – thank you so much for this great, important information. 💛
Congrats!!!

Thank you, Dr. Gillaspy!
Thanks Dr. Becky for sharing useful videos…stay blessed!
Thanks saved me 13 minutes. 👍
Speak up, make yourself heard. You speak too softly.
You took the words right out of my mouth ! I agree with you 💯! Thank you for explaining all of this so eloquently. With regards to fat, I am now using slightly less olive/coconut oils and using more butter & tallow (grass fed) – healing for the body/hormones.
Your videos are so clear and understandable. You have a gift for communication that blesses others. Many physicians are knowledgeable in their field, but lack the ability to share their knowledge with others. When the doctor is a great communicator that enables patients to implement instructions properly and confidently. Thank you.
Thank you, Sharon!
Wonderful advice, thank you. One thing I would add to it: the difference between American and European nutrition. My Polish friends and I ( we are 53 years old now) were never overweight despite eating bread and cakes, but one thing we never ever did is DRINK sugar: not in tea or coffee, no sodas, cokes, juices, even beer in moderation. I hope this might help all the dieting people out there.
Yes I am English but eat a fairly Polish diet from travelling there. Their potatoes taste incredible, they look yellowy/brown and taste earthy, not bland and very white like US and UK potatoes. Europe doesn’t like Monsanto or corn syrup. I bought a bottle of coke in Poland first time there and got looked at like an alien. A girlfriend had a sip and hated it, said it was so sweet.
Thank you!
@Jim West that’s true to a point but we do have yellow potatoes in the US the are called Yukon Gold though when your making mashed potatoes for a holiday meal about 1/2 of Yukon gold potatoes will melt also American soda didn’t always have Corn Syrup and Aspartame in it until the early 1980s when a sugar crop in the Caribbean was severely damaged in a Hurricane technically the first diet soda in the US was Tab in the early 1960s. my late maternal grandmother drank Tab until she switched to diet Coke in the early 90s
I’m rarely invited to parties or asked to eat out because the people around me know much I hate sugary & processed foods. They said I’m too picky, but I’m sure I’m just picking the right choice for my body. I’m 35 and health conscious.
You will long and lean. Health is wealth
Maybe do research on a restaurant that has healthy choices and suggest that one for your next get together. Good for you in eating healthy. It eventually catches up with you.
Bring your own food. You’re making yourself an outcast.
Stick to your guns but consider taking good food .1 you can eat it and 2 if others try it they may learn that healthy food can be delicious
In reading more labels on food lately, I’ve also noticed a lot of products use multiple types of sugar. I suspect this is so they can try to move sugar lower on the list of ingredients and make the product seem more healthy, at first glance, than it actually is. Great video, thanks!
I would say that your suspicions are correct. Thanks for your comment, Shane!
good observation. I’ve noticed agave nectar and cane syrup listed on yogurt recently.
For me, leaving all processed food behind and avoiding sugar, grains, flour and alcohol worked like magic. Within a few weeks my BMI was within the normal range and carb craving greatly diminished. Most of my food is from the local farmer/butcher and our large garden.
I recently moved to a town that has very little organic foods available (and what is available is on it’s last leg), but found a farm that sells grass fed meats and I get my eggs, milk and produce there also. Good for you that you found that also.
Did you cut out alcohol completly?
@MegaCasper4 one or two per month. I really should stop completely. Beer and sugary drinks are off the list.
@Willie Wonka one thing i learned about alcohol : small amounts doesnt (one beer or one glass of redwine) raise your bloodsugar, it lowers your insulin 👍 i sometimes have a problem with holding back lol
Thank you, this is the best explanation about dieting I have read, watched or heard over the past 10 years. Straightforward and simplified about processes food goes through before it reaches the shop shelves making them unhealthy. I have to say, I do think the general public is covertly lied to when it comes to the food we frequently eat.
I have been complacent with my eating the last two years and am grateful for your content. I turned 58 Saturday the 13th and treating my body like the gift it is will be easier after watching this ❤
Best of luck! When I was 55, I had a realisation moment and bought some smart scales with app tracking. One of the readings is metabolic age. Now I don’t take it literally but it’s just one of the assessments.
When I was 55, it gave my metabolic age as 59 and I was overweight.
I’ve recently turned 58 and my metabolic age is now 57. 🙂
I’ve lost 16kg, feel much better, buy clothes that fit so much better and my mental boost is huge in knowing that I can make better food choices.
Thank you for presenting this info without being “screamy” or “preachy.” I’m starting a weight loss journey to help my recovery process from a surgery I’m having later this year. I have endometriosis and both sugar and flour are huge inflammatory triggers.
