I’m just going to say this: people don’t realise that this HERO is saving lives everyday! Thank you Dr. Eric Berg!
He’s a quack. Berg was busted for selling Snake Oil years ago. He hasn’t changed.
@Television Archives please come with proof on your statement?
Sad. Really sad.
🙂
Never in my life did I ever imagine I could lose the weight. Here I am without cravings! I am never hungry and feeling like I’ve been let out of jail and never going back. Thank you
O really 🤔😏
💗💗💗
What exactly did you do?
Are you still 100% eating Keto or 5 days on 2 days off?
What did you do ?
Thank you. I’ve done it and did great! Covid came, I went off low carb and I’m having trouble getting back on track
I weighed 415 and stopped weighing myself. I am sure I weighed more than that. I was unable to walk. I had tried all sorts of pills and diets. I turned to keto because my mom started it and lost a few pounds. I weigh 217 now. I’ve stopped drinking soda and all the ingredients for hidden sugar. I love how I feel now. And I am still going. I still have health problems. I can walk now and have gone on all sorts of adventures.
Go head, Sis!!😘♥️♥️
Good for you, Amanda! Keep it up.
Well done & keep it up!
Also speak thankful words about your body..our words have power for good or bad..life or death.
Most important of all is to know Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord!
Wonderful… Keep on going for yourself
I love that story.
17 weeks on KETO diet (1700 calories, 25 grams of proper carbs per day, intermittent fasting and exercise) – down 52 pounds, lost 9 inches in waist so far. Labs back this week – right down the middle, LDL is slightly elevated, but expected due to the recent weight loss (Triglycerides and other markers are well within normal) . Your advice is very helpful. Nutritionally I am on the track and very happy with my results.
Epic stuff right here.
My wife and I started Keto last September. We said we would do it a month. It is now July and we don’t regret it at all. I no longer on insulin going from 10.2 A1C to 5.4 A1C. I’ve lost 70 lbs 243 to 173. Blood pressure from 160s to 110. My wife gone from 160 to 119 lbs. I really feel healthy for the first time in 15 years.
Well done, keep it up
Hi James what kind of keto is your wife doing? Is it same as yours and can you share what u eat?
How James how did you gradualy bring down the doses for your Insulin with the Keto diet?
Wow well done i want to do too and come off insulin hopefully 🙏🏼
Where I have to go for start the keto
Dr Berg introduced me to keto. 4 years later I am now 400 lbs, down from 620 lbs. Now I’m KetoVore. Dr Bergs videos were lifechanging.
Dont forget carbs and fruits though! I was keto/carnivore for 3 years, fasting- lost tons of weight and felt amazing, ended up with thyroid cancer. Our bodies need carbs.
@Arianne Alsaker Jesus Christ what a downer… I hope you’re ok though. Did they say it was due to a lack of carbohydrates?
@Arianne Alsaker Yes healthy carbs not bad carbs that’s just common sense
His story about eating 45 eggs a day was really 4 to 5 reminded me of a time when I got back from deployment and walked into the house and wondered what the burning smell was. It was my wife cooking her grandmothers recipe for spaghetti sauce. She cooked it for 68 hours. Was supposed to be 6 to 8 hours.
Was that from reading it wrong, 😳
Or Ya’ll Had Allot To Talk About….lol😅🤣😂😇
Glad Your Home Safe!
Bless You & Your Family
That’s priceless, and welcome home!
If it’s TRUE .. it’s absurd but so funny..🤓😂😄
That’s dedication, to even start on a sauce you know will take 68h to finish.
I tried so many diets the intermittent fasting is when I feel my best. I tried the eating 6 small meals a day mess and ended up gaining weight even on low calorie and I felt like my blood sugar was all over the place. I’m glad to hear some people do better with fasting and I’m definitely one of them
I’m the same reverses my diabetes in 5 weeks and also improved many other markers including inflammation cortisol and early stage of kidney disease
I was just diagnosed Type II three days ago *shocked* The reason I went to the E.R. is I had lost 16 lbs. in less than a month which was concerning because I was not dieting. I was also exhausted, sleepy, and very weak. I was 5’9″ 170 lbs before the weight loss and have been an athlete my entire life (58 yrs old). My risk factor – both parents were type II diabetic. I was scared to death when I started reading the complications from diabetes but watching this doc’s video has given me hope that I can reverse this through diet, exercise, and sleep. I’m on the Keto diet now and hoping to get my energy and strength back soon. Thank you for giving me direction !
MAGNUS ALSO DO LOTS OF BREATHING EXERCISES BREATH MORE AND MORE OXYGEN IT WILL HELP
Magnus, I would love to hear how you’ve done over the past 3 weeks. Hope your healthy is improving!
Hi Magnus… How are you doing 6 months down the line? I hope you’re improving!
Good luck. I’ve had some family members with it. I would recommend checking out Dr. Mark Hyman’s work. It’s not necessarily about ‘weight’ although it can contribute but more about proper nutrition and cutting the sugar. (Diabetes is also called the disease of ‘starvation’ because of too many empty calories). You can do it. 💪
Hey Magnus. We want to know how you’re doing? I love Dr. Jason Fung on Youtube. He’s a nephrologist who got tired of seeing his diabetic patients all get worse and worse. Check him out if you need more help.
After fighting blood pressure problems for 40 years ( I am normal body weight) I think my answer is here. Nobody has ever told me it could be so simple as potassium. It’s my new year resolutions to check it and get it right. Thank you Dr Berg!
Can you explain what did you eat now to control your Blood pressure.please share to me i am taking amlodiphine and dont want to take this for long time
@imjohnny08music station stop eating plants & sugars. This is not personal medical advise.
Can you please share how you control your BP by regulating your diet?
If only more Drs were like you , the world would be a much healthier better place.
So motivating listening to you!
I have no discipline or willpower, very little anyway, and I’ve put on 30lbs in the last year and a half. I have various stressors in my life, some of them I must address. Anyway, I have to get on a program that works.
Keto does sound like a solution.
How is Keto working for you?
Me too. Come on please give it a go. I am starting today. Watched a few videos. Took notes I am going for it! I feel so sick somedays. Rather this than going under the knife. Take care. All the best.
From 235 to 175 within 6 months. So happy! Thank you Dr. Berg!
168 to 136 4 months ..love this man…my metabolic syndrome is correcting…nonalcoholic fatty liver disease resetting…Epstein Barr Virus titers are down…let’s hope this program addresses Parkinson’s which studies indicate it may! Autophagy may assist with these issues …love our Dr. Berg ..
What are the foods that you have taken and what is your IF window?
How did you do that please?
@Arjun panda What is IF please?
Thank you Dr Berg for all your advice. It’s helping me with my weight loss journey. I weighed 86 kgs and become 63 kgs. I gained 5 kgs back. I am now trying to lose the 5 kgs again. And, your pieces of advice are helping me gain more knowledge. I am a nurse by profession and diabetic. Since I lost 23 kgs through keto diet and intermittent fasting, my HbA1c is now normal. It’s been not normal for 6 years since I got diagnosed. And, I was diagnosed as well with fatty liver. Now, all my blood results are all normal including liver enzymes.
YesI am a true believer in the keto diet. I have it as a way of life because I feel like a new person. Thank you Dr. Berg for who you are! I love the humor. I’m rather new to your website, and now doing a video marathon…and loving it! You’re so brilliant.
I’m 68 and feel like 40. Transforming! 2 lbs to goal….woohoo
I absolutely fall into that category of post menopausal/HypoThyroid and i’m just now doing 20-4 fasting. I appreciate the affirmation that i might be on the right track. I need that hope.
Interpret 20-4 please.
How’s it going and what do you eat during the 4 hour period?
@Janet Gable Cull 20 hrs fasting 4hr eating window…
72yrs and went from grazing and laying in bed to 20 -4 myself. Keto flu and rash all resolved. Size 3x stretch to 18W. Sitnbefit to backward walking. No more neuropathy in legs,feet. Depression lifted. Went from 3x nite urination to 1 or less. 4.5months down 27lbs!
I’m a 69yo woman and I’ve been on Keto for a couple of years. Mainly for being healthy. I don’t strictly follow this diet anymore but I still do not eat processed sugars. After being on this diet, I do not have any more migraines and haven’t had a cold or flu either.
Dr. Berg should be writing a curriculum that is taught in High School. Thank you for all the help you have given to me in my Health!
Amazing YouTube channel. Thank you for all the great science based, common sense, logical education. Once you know better you do better. I’m 60 and eating a Carnivore diet thanks to you and your lovely wife, I have never felt so healthy in my entire life. Belly fat is gone!
I am learning and loving all of your videos Dr. Berg. You are a true doctor of health! Thank you!
