The 16 Biggest Keto Mistakes: DON'T MAKE THEM!

Keto combined with Intermittent Fasting its a MIRACLE. I have been losing weight and feeling great like a dream.

The sad thing is that many people believe that they are eating healthy food, when they're not. I was one of those people. Breakfast was whole-wheat bran flakes, with sugar-free muesli - healthy right? Lunch consisted of a cheese sandwich on whole-wheat nutty brown bread - healthy right? Dinner was meat with two veg - plus two slices of whole-wheat nutty brown bread - healthy right? In desperation, dinner eventually became one bowl of HEALTHY soup, with two slices of whole-wheat nutty brown bread - and then I noticed that the soup contained wheat flour! For 15 years, this was my pattern and I was getting heavier and heavier. But keto, with Intermittent Fasting fixed everything and caused massive weight loss. I will be forever thankful for the information on this channel!

"Get healthy to lose weight ". For the 1st time ever I applied that to my life. I lost 100 lbs and I'm off all meds and I've never felt better. I just followed Dr Bergs guidance. Thanks brother !!!

I'm 58 and had a huge beer gut and bad knees that forced me to stop work, I started keto in January 2021and by July I'd lost 80lbs, I went from a 42 waist (my belt line was under my big gut) and ended up being a true 34 waist. I went back to work and just wear a light knee brace now.

1. Not reading ingredients 2. Not looking at serving size 3. Jugging success on weight loss 4. Comparing your results with others 5. Not enough salt “sea salt” 6. Cheat day 7. Too much to/ to little fat 8. Too much protein 9. Not doing if /w keto 10. Base ketosis on urine strips 11. Giving up when it’s working 12. Changing something when it’s working 13. Eating when you are not hungry 14. Estimation of effort and time is not correct 15. Hunger vs time to eat 16. Tiny amount of carbs blocks a longer time of fat burning.

DAY 8 on PURE Keto...no cheats like I've done in the past 1) Pants falling off now 2) Diarrhea still sometimes 3) More energy 4) Waking up with less overall pain 5) Heart racing at slightest anxiety stopped 5) Skin and face noticeably different 6) Eye redness in morning going way 6) Metalic morning taste in mouth gone 7) Gums not sore 8) Oily skin drying out 9) Testosterone levels coming back 10) Overall body pain subsiding 11) "Dizzy" feeling gone 12) Eating without feeling tired I'm not exaggerating any of this

Dr. Berg is spot on when he says you loose water weight then plateaus and grow muscles. I am going through this phase right now. I lost 7lbs in 2 weeks, no exercise, just on the keto diet, and haven’t been able to lose anymore weight since. My belly shrunk and I am seeing more muscle growth like he said. This guy knows his stuff. We appreciate you Dr. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

At 85 yrs, looking 60, I certainly agree with Dr. Berg’s advice. Even the out of this world stresses, I’m feeling fantastic thank God.

I learn from Dr. Berg and Dr. Fung about keto/intermittent diet. It's been 7 weeks and I lost 20 lbs. I'm 5'3" and 149lbs now!!!😊

I recommend 30 days before you will see results because that's what happened with me. It was crazy how the fat melted off once I was engaged for 30 days the weeks that followed 5 lbs per week on average for weight loss.

Dr. Berg, your video of quitting sugar for two weeks has transformed my life!!! I am down 20 lbs in 4 weeks!!! You are amazing, and my daughter and I cannot thank you enough!!!

At age 57 I was able to lose 56.5 lbs within 6 months……just in time for a global pandemic and quarantine starting March 2020. I did ok and maintained 50 lbs weight loss until fall 2020; however, mentally and emotionally it all began to tear-down my resolve. I made a conscious decision to “give myself some grace” in dealing with how our world had changed (as well as several family losses NOT due to the virus). Well, it’s a year later and I’m carrying 40 lbs of “grace” and I’ve had about 40 “day 1 of keto”, even got 5.5 weeks into a fresh start and the mental part of getting back to health is my biggest challenge. But I recall how utterly awesome I felt when my body was healthy and slender! That hasn’t left me. So I will keep at it. Your videos mean so much to help me stay focused. At the minimum at least I know from experience what to do. Aligning head and heart should be so easy. But it isn’t.

Omg the cheat day act out of Karen was priceless!! 😂😂😂 That's the best analogy for people justifying bread and pasta for girls' night out. 😝

I know I’ve said this before Dr Berg, but you were a huge inspiration for me to start my weight loss channel. After years of struggling with overeating and depression, I’m finally getting my weight under control. I’m now down 31lbs in 15 days, and feeling more optimistic than ever. Just want to say thank so much. Watch this space! 😊💪🏾

Honestly my hunger and cravings have gone, my mood is up, I’m calmer emotionally. I’m still surprised, well slightly shocked by it. I love it. Thank you Dr Berg.

Hi im Marlene from south africa, i just started this diet 2 weeks ago and already lost over 2kg. I don't feel hungry, already seeing a decrease needed in my meds. Cut down on meds as sugar levels are dropping. Very happy, thank you Dr Berg!!!

Thoughts on Cheat Days: even if it’s a cheat bite, meal or day, it can easily turn into a cheat weekend, week, month. And, remember as contemplating a cheat of any size, remember how you wanted to get into ketosis and the difficulty when first limiting carbs. Think of this and if cheating is worth the days it may take to return to ketosis. I visualize weighing the want of the benefits a cheat on one hand (short term), and the want of the benefits of ketosis (long term) on the other.

I have WATCHED THIS VIDEO multiple times on my journey of weight loss and health. It just keeps me on the right track, reminds me, reconfirms my actions, and keeps me confident I'm on track. I'm winning for once. I have no more cravings, can fast longer, mostly understand my bodies needs.

I've been a diabetic since my 20s (Type 2), I'm now 50 and I'm invested to make this change for good. Thank you Dr. Berg for all this information. No more cheat days, not even for the Holiday. Started August 1st, 2021 and still going. Down over 20lbs, feeling more energy, mood has improved, my eye sight has improved, thinking is better and I just feel healthier overall. Keep me in your prayers.

I'm 31 and just started keto, to gain weight and cut sugar out of my diet because of family health problems..so far in the week I've done it,I have gained a little over a pound. I've always had a slim build and I'm looking to bulk up a bit. Blood sugar issues and kidney problems is what made me look into the keto diet. So far,so good.
