I started Keto and Intermittent fasting april 15th of this year. I tipped the scales at 274. I stepped on the scale this morning aug 31st at 203 lbs. This works!
I used to workout with my cousin. Every day. Walking, weights, bikes, all of it. He never lost his body fat. It just stayed there. He tried various different eating habits, etc. Nothing changed. This was over the course of a few years. Just a slight up and down for him. Then he moved to Europe. I didn't see him again for another year or so. Then he came back over, and he was thin! I couldn't believe it, and had to question him: Do you work out? On some kind of diet? How did you lose so much weight you look normal?! He said he did -----> NOTHING. No working out, no special diet, nothing. He said he eats different because the food is different over there. To me, that is the BIG LIE that is going on over here in the USA. Our food is mostly crap. 90% of it. I looked at pictures of family from the turn of the century, they were all very thin. Nobody did diets. Nobody worked out or walked for miles or ran. But the did have REAL FOOD. No crap, just real. So for me, ALL of this talk of do this do that is worthless. A closer look at at food in general in the USA is what is needed. A friend has a roommate, she is from overseas. She was very thin. She is a dance instructor, so she is not lazy. She has only been here for about 5 months and she has a gut! The USA has a food problem.
But what I dont get (Im from Spain btw) is the fact that I have seen a lot of videos about good farms in US, good groceries stores, etc... I mean, you can easily follow the mediterranean diet with your own products, absolutely. I think there's another factor involved in the US food and obesity problem, which is the lifestyle. A lot of people, for example, go to sports events like baseball matches, etc..., and they dont stop buying and eating chips, tacos, hot dogs, burguers, fries, etc... It's not a matter of food, it's a matter of lifestyle. And I repeat, you absolutely have all the ingredients needed for a healthy diet, no doubt about it.
I'm from London. I stayed in the US for 3 months in 2006, I was 24 at the time and had a 32" waist. I came back to England and some of my clothes wouldn't fit me.
My way of thinking too. My take is that people are too consumed with doing this activity and that activity. I lived in France for 5 years. What I noticed is relaxation. Enjoying life. Americans crave non-stop entertainment. It’s an addiction. Gathering of friends is always around events. They don’t take the time to contemplate.
I take 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar with the mother in cranberry juice with cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, lemon grass, xylitol and water added to it. You can add aloe and cassia fistula just to name a few.
@@timsrs8863 So it will not destroy teeth enamel. If you destroy Teeth enamel it can not come back. So you should most def dilute apple cider vinegar with other fluids.
👍 I was 160 lbs 5’5 73 I did keto for 40 days and now 148 I started walking for 20 minutes a day I am on the Third Floor so some stairs I am not having knee pain at night Since I lost that weight. I’m drinking Lemon Ginger tea too 3 cups a day No milk no sugar no bread no crackers no spaghetti. I like how I am improving my health. Thank you Dr Berg.
Good job!!! Glad I came across this, as I was thinking how to start and how long it’ll take me. I’m 175 and 5’4 and 150 something is where I wanna be. 148 sounds even better as it’ll give me fluctuation.
Hi dr eric i have been training lifting weights and doing a lot of cardio lost over 1 stone in weight im 59 years of age, and im on amolodopine for high blood pressure, im becoming very fatigued, i have thought about taking creatine to boost my energy 5mg per day, can a person take creatine whilst on amolodopine, many thanks Mike. @Drberg
At 62 years old, I committed to walking 10,000 steps a day for 30 days and managed to lose 2.3 kg. I started a month ago and am now well into my second month, even though I had to skip two days due to bad weather. While the weight loss might not seem dramatic, I feel this is a strong start for me. The daily walks have not only been beneficial physically but also have boosted my overall sense of well-being.
Water fasting during weekdays, keto weekends, 15k steps per day, light workouts daily. This combo got me from 211lbs to 175lbs. Totally changed my life.
@@Jana-pm3nj Hi Jana, no because on the weekend's I'd refeed to normal or slight surplus caloric requirements. Extremely nutritionally dense foods. So my body never had to adjust my metabolism.
@@thenithinmuktesh yeah everyone needs to adjust the recipe for themselves. After I got to 175lbs, I started heavy workouts, maintained 15k steps and did the occasional 1-3 day fast. This allowed me to stay at a stable weight and my blood work says I am in good health. I've had experience fasting for 10 years. I'd also consider myself a bodybuilding and nutrition expert. Most of my free time I like to read about various topics on longevity, health, and nutrition. I posted my fat loss technique so whoever is reading this can replicate that for themselves. Obviously don't jump into 5 day fasts, and crush yourself if you haven't consulted a doctor, or you have never done a fast, it took years for me to experiment what worked for me.
Walking is not only good for you physically, it also helps me mentally. I LOVE taking long walks in the woods with my dogs. It keeps me fit and my dogs happy and healthy.
I have been following this plan since June 2022. I joined the gym January 2023. Now, September 2023, I have lost over 60lbs and keeping it off. I have 10lbs to go along with toning and muscle building. Never felt better in my life! I need my exercise daily and love it!
My uncle is an attestment to this. He went from quite obese to very slim in months, after watching his diet and picking up the habit of long walks (pretty much every day, the whole morning). Really a drastic change, and the lenghtly, comfortable pace walking was key.
@@roseblanc4291: My impression is that "steps per day" isn't as important for burning fat as the duration of the long walk. As Dr B noted, your body doesn't start to burn fat until you've been walking for about 30 minutes. (I think it takes less time to start burning fat if you're jogging, about 15 minutes.) As a mental trick, you could start counting walk time after reaching 30 minutes, so a 45 minute walk would be counted as 15 minutes of fat burning, etc. This explains why short walks scattered during the day won't burn fat, and thus why total steps each day isn't as relevant for burning fat.
I am French. In France, we eat a lot of butter, olive oil and cheeses…this tends to make us healthy. We also prepare our meals together with basic , unprepared food and we eat slowly. We also drink now and then a couple glasses of red wine ( Bordeaux is the best for me ). Doc Berg is right .
This is spot on! I did keto, no dairy, no gluten and no sugar for a month and was losing a pound a day. I ate 1 gluten free 15 gram bread and it took 2 days to get back to losing that pound a day. Another great and informative video!
@@banwa_non Not if you weigh like 300+ pounds though and considering that a good 15-20 is often likely water weight. I had a friend who weighed like 350 and was a physical wreck. I felt like I was watching him die right in front of my eyes and it killed me knowing I could help him. After probably almost a year of trying to convince him to try a strict keto diet and exercise, I was able to get him to drop about 45 pounds in 2 months. That is about 3/4 of a pound a day. He slowed down to about 2-3 pounds a week after that, until we got him down to around 250, where he eventually really struggled to drop anymore, because he could never totally shake the old cravings brought on by years of abysmal eating habits, but has at least maintained right around 245-255 now for a few years, being mostly good. Not a total success and certainly not ideal on his barely 6 foot, non athletic frame, but that's still a far cry better than where he was.
Because of this mans advice I have lost over 100 pounds and feel healthier then ever. Follow what he says it’s the truth and you will 100% see immediate results as long as you stay disciplined and consistent. Period!
Worthy of a _Best of RU-vid Award_ . Outstanding content. Seriously, this is the best, most comprehensive, empirical, no hype, timeless, fat-loss video on the internet. It's like a stack of books and years of research, all boiled down to this.
I gotta admit, I started intermittent fasting in February 22, 2024, @188lbs…March 31st I’m 160-65 g-or-t, I don’t eat nearly as much as I used to (maybe two-three small meals per day) no more in between meals or snacks, I find myself not being hungry all times of the day. Earlier this month my doctor wanted to start me on pre-diabetes meds, I asked him to check my weight from my last visit (December), he looked at my chart and said “wow", I said Doc I’ve been eating healthier and exercising almost every day, so we decided to hold off on the meds and check my a-1-c in mid May for my appointment in early June…I’m trying to drive my a-1-c down from 6.1 to under 5.7, I’m also trying to divorce my bp and cholesterol meds…Have a Blessed day.😊
I started IF & Keto on April 25th 2023 being 256lbs, it's September 1st 2023 and I'm 303lbs because on back on April 28th I asked myself the ultimate question, WHO AM I KIDDING?! 😳 I apologized to McDonald's, Chic Fi La, Wendy's for my 3-day absence. I assured them I'd never disappoint them like that ever again. 😢
Dr. Berg, I just found this video of yours and it applies to me, I'm 62 and was 250 pounds in January 2022. I started fasting only eating a dinner meal each day, back in January of 2022, and going on long walks with my Hound dog Lulu. It started out with short walks only about half a mile and I was completely exhausted at the beginning. But today I walk up to 20 miles with her without breaking a sweat on the week ends and I have lost 75 pounds now and I'm down to 175 pounds and feel terrific. My goal is to get down to 165, so I only have another 10 pounds to go. It takes me about 5 and a half hours to cover 20 miles with her so I only have time to go that far on the weekends since I'm still working. I also do 150 push-ups every day, 75 before bed, 75 before shower in the morning, to help tone up. I shorten our walks to 5-10 miles or so during the week days. I've also cut back my carb intake significantly and believe this has contributed to losing nearly all of my "Love handles" my wife used to call them and she is thrilled and proud of the way I look now telling me I look like I did when she met me nearly 40 years ago. We've been married 33 years now.
Don't hurt your dog by over walking it. Many people don't realize that they hurt their pets by walking to far or fast for their pets. thye are much smaller than humans and it's like if you too a 3 year old for a 20 mile walk. It's just not good.
@@troopicalsands My dog Lulu is a 70 pound Hound dog and she is a big girl. Our walks are nothing stressful at all for her as she doesn't even breathe hard after we get back home. So our long walks are not doing her any harm, I assure you, and it's doing me a world of good.
May I say the following please, if you try ……. You will never succeed .You either do it or you don’t . Try has a build in excuse. You improve you weight ,because if you lose something you always want it back . I know they are just words and are very powerful indications on what is happening . Good luck
@Dr Berg: Largely because of your videos, I went from 218 to 173 and feel like a different human being altogether. Thank you sir, your purpose, merit, and wisdom have all harmonized into a resounding orchestra that resonates in better health, propagating into the minds and lives of so many people. I loved this video, as my next objective is toning.
Getting an electric treadmill and putting it in my room worked well for me. Looked straight as if it was a regular walk. So I walked about 2 hours every evening after dinner watching a movie. Forgot I was walking much of the time. Lost about 40 lbs in a few months. Worked well for me is all I can say.
This is like the best news I've heard all day. I spent YEARS doing high intensity workouts, but after I hit 40, I started gaining weight, so I uped the intensity until I blew out my knee. For the past few years I have just about given up on exercise, and I have gained a lot. Now I'm in my 50s, and never knew that all I had to do is WALK?!!! Sign me up!
Yeah I wish my boyfriend would try long walks instead of jogging, he keeps blowing out his knee he's gonna damage it permanently if he doesn't quit his beloved jogging. 😢
I'm 125 lbs and 5'5. I don't walk 2 hours a day but I do clean my house as a form of exercising for about 30 min a day. I lift weight 60 reps with 10lbs dumb belt. I eat organic food as much as possible and lean toward keto. That's how I stay healthy.
Thank you Dr Berg I’m forever grateful for your kindness and willing to educate us. I started to do walks on Monday and I walk about 5 miles it takes me about 1 1/2 to do the miles. I was getting discouraged when my Apple Watch say I only burnt 300 calories 😔but after watching this video I’m going to continue with my walks. Thank you for educating me. Today is day number 4 on my 5 miles walk
May 2023, I was 165 lbs. I'm 5,7.i hated feeling tired and struggling. I cut out sugar ,breads, I did intermittent fasting. It's gradual but is amazing. I'm down to 142. Now toning up. Youre hunger cravings disappear in a few days,depending on the person. ❤ acv yes!
Your accusation that You Tube was restricting your videos must have worked, now I’m getting bombarded with Keto videos, nice work, keep up your message.
I lost a whopping 20% body fat (from 35% to 15%) by just doing brisk walks ! That includes visceral belly fat and subcutaneous fat under the skin. I did loose 14 inches from my waistline. I stared off with 5K steps a day, and in baby steps went all the way upto to 30K steps a day (took me 6 months). Now I walk 30K steps daily.
Wow 🤩 That’s impressive! Mind sharing what was your starting weight? And did you do anything else besides the walking? I am struggling to lose 12 pounds, am at 138 And how many days a week and how many miles did you walk?
@expert244 Nope, I do 15K brisk steps in 1.5 hr and I do 2 such sessions morning & evening. So total 3hrs, certainly does NOT take me 12 hrs !! And I work in hybrid mode - work from home + 2 days office, so I am able to sustain this model well. Sometimes, I will take my work related calls while walking (esp evenings) using wireless ANC earpods connected to my mobile device via Bluetooth. At other times, I listen to wide range of curated Playlists. I also have walk buddies for morning sessions and while we walk & talk we don't realize when we finished 15K steps in morning sessions ! I also use specialized cushioned shoes - realflex, zigtech etc...and my society where I walk has walkers track. Occasionally I will sprint for 90sec 3-4 times in every session. I use some amino & protein supplements too.
For two years I was walking to work. Around 40 minutes. Never lost a gram of fat, unless I changed my diet. I was not overeating. I had to eliminate sweets, bread etc, to loose weight.
Sadly true. People think fat can just melt off and it doesn’t. I’m beginning to think I need to be on a deserted Island for 3 years to lose any weight.
I started intermittent fasting ( 2meals a day between 12pm and 8pm) and daily 30 minute fast pace walk on the treadmill plus ACV on an empty stomach .I've lost 18 pounds since Aug 20 (I'm writing this on Nov 1). No B.S ..its life changing..thanks Dr.Berg
# 2, keeping your face out of the fridge at 3 am when everyone else is sleeping. Oh no one is watching so it must not count. It does and its the worst time to eat.
@@FishBaitBlue Alcohol was a big one for me, just a so called casual drinker and didn't realize the overall effect. Alcohol is not good for nothing. Health, Weight, Gut health, spiritual life, relationships, memories with the kids... Not good stuff.
I’ve lost 30 pounds within like 2 months. Keto, intermittent fasting and exercise made me drop weight drastically. Yeah, it may have been water weight at first but eventually you lose fat. I’m younger than most of the people here but this stuff works!
Dr. Berg Your information is so spot on. I am living proof. A few months ago I started intermittent fasting and now I’m losing weight. I was 220 pounds since forever and now I’m 214. I stopped eating late at night and I exercise everyday, including much better eating. Thank you. 😊
The studies that intermittent fasting achieves nothing are endless. Apparently people have to experiment what works for them. Intermittent fasting is calories in/calories out, less calories in.
@@donaldkasper8346 I wonder what crappy "studies" you're looking at. The proof that intermittent fasting actually works is grounded in human biology. The body needs at least 13 hours from your last meal in order to stop using insulin and start on the housekeeping tasks. Sure if you're overeating cake for 8 hours straight it won't "work", but if you eat normal food in normal quantities, simply limiting the same exact food to a 9 hour eating window instead of grazing all day can make a huge difference.
@@naturalphilosopher4853 Vids online purporting to quote studies or metastudies shows no basis that intermittent fasting works. That is my take on it. I don't study it as a life's vocation.
I lost 29 pounds in 6 months by walking 3.25 miles 5 times a week. I feel extremely invigorated after my walks and it helps my energy throughout the day.
Good job. Keep up the good work. Would you like to share your Keto/ IF success story on my website? I'd be happy to see your story there. Feel free to upload your story here: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story
Ultra low carbs & sugar, along with 16/8 intermittent fasting, has me down 40+ lbs in the past 6 months (259 to 216). Once I finally start adding more exercise, I should be able to really get it dialed in. When I stared this journey, your videos really helped me get things going on the right track. My cholesterol also went from 276 to 193, without meds.
Dropped from over 130 lbs to 119 lbs in a few weeks on keto and exercise. Have maintained this since May (today is 1st September 2023). Will definitely continue and try each day to do better 🙏
Thank you DR. ERIC BERG for your videos they helped me loose 99 lbs and people were asking me was I sick? And I said yes I was sick of being overweight 😂 from a 42 loose fit to a 33
Wow Dr Berg. You on the left was me for so long. That paunch of a belly. I just thought it was normal aging for a man until I went low carb (clean low carb) 3 months ago. Went from 205 to 185 after quitting alcohol and to 172 after low carb. BMI dropped from 30s to 21. I love your content!
I can back it up by my personal experience. I'm 43 now, on January 1 (lol, new year resolutions) I started my quest, ultimate goal - reach 90 kg and get back into shape. So I started at 130 kg for my 180 height, completely out of shape and feeling as piece of crap. I gradually implemented 18/6 intermittent fasting (I skip dinner), relatively low carb diet and exercise - some free weights, some body-weight, some bike and a lot, I mean A LOT, of walking. For now I'm at 102 kg, built back some muscle, feel generally much better and keep going. Dr. Berg was one of my sources of useful information I needed to get started.
I love the treadmill. I do a 20 minute session, with a mix of power walking and a little light jogging. I do it to a chosen music routine. I can feel a lovely twist in my midriff, especially when doing the power walking. I also get my best ideas during this workout. Lastly, I can feel my mood lifting to a happy feeling of wellbeing. 😊
Hi Eric, recently came across some of your RU-vid videos and instantly related to your advice and keys to staying healthy. Points that resonated for me were: 1. Intermittent fasting. 2. Exercise that is just a part of your daily routine. I'm currently 56 years old, ride MTBs on weekends, and incorporate chin-ups 3 times a week. I just wanted to share my experience with you in case you've heard similar experiences or research that backs up what happened to me. In 2013 I bought a MTB to ride with my daughter and ended up going out for weekend rides because I was "really enjoying" the experience and realized the riding was making me exercise a lot harder than I would at a gym. So I canceled my gym membership and just focused on once-a-week weekend riding (90min). The first thing that happened, without realizing, I dropped 5kg around my waist and was, in general, feeling stronger and had more energy. This was great but I started thinking about my upper body strength, so I decided it had to be something at home because I hated going to gyms. I decided to install a chin-up bar, so every Mon, Wed, Fri morning I would do 1 set of 10 chin-ups. At first, I couldn't do 10 but over time my strength improved and this routine became an automatic part of my get up and go work routine. It's almost as if I'm not exercising as it's so quick to do and it became a permanent change in my daily routine. At first, I didn't think doing so little exercise would make such a difference, but it has and I think sometimes people burden themselves with exercise programs rather than taking the slow approach of building slowly, seeing improvements, and adding small additions that are tailored to suit your lifestyle. I wonder if there could be such a thing as “The Easy exercise” program. Something along these lines could successfully help a large part of the population. So many people say, I keep giving up exercise, they are too old, hate exercise because of past experiences, don’t have the time, etc... Although this may not be the ideal program it may be a more achievable and permanent change for most. It would be helping them get to "Level 1” exercise and I believe the health benefits could be significant over the long term. I understand the diet and and sleep are critical factors as well but exercise takes time and effort and is so powerful. When people ask me about my exercise program they don’t quite believe so little exercise actually works. I now have about 6 other MTB riders who come each weekend for the 90-minute ride. Anyway, I hope this is of interest to you, and thanks for all your great advice. Regards Anthony, from Downunder
You are absolutely right. People nowadays torture themselves in gyms and overstress their bodies. Especially young folks who are mindlessly brainwashed by the whole fitness and gym culture. You on the other hand are using your common sense and have find a sutable and healthy way to feel good in your body on the long run. Congratulations!
@@simonkl838 Thanks Simon, I just hope more people become aware of the fact that it doesn’t take a lot of exercise, in your life, to achieve healthy results
Exercise has a lot of benefits and I love the part about taking a walk and probably speeding up. This can help strengthen some issues. Thank you, Dr. Berg.❤️
I am not a doctor, but this should be common knowledge! I have been telling people to cut down all "excessive" sugar sources!!! That includes sweet coffee, sodas, fruity drinks, alcohol, ice cream, chocolate candies, cupcakes, etc! Plus exercise! Not that hard folks. People can be so stupid. They blame on fat genes! OMG!
283 in November of '22. No dieting of any kind, just walking the amount of time Dr. Berg suggests in this video and this morning I weighed in at 245. I will incorporate intermittent fasting and learn better eating habits as I go along to improve my weight loss and reach the goal of 180 (for my height) or less. People are really noticing now.
Just make sure your calories come healthier foods and that a deficit exists. The process is slow (avg. 4 lbs per month loss with maximum effort) but once you get into it, it is enjoyable.
Dr. Berg is just pure awesomeness! Since 2019 I came from almost 200 pounds at 5’9 height down to 140 pounds in 3 month and was still continuing to loose more, following all of Dr. Berg’s advice. In fact I mange to maintain between 135-140 pounds consistently. In fact beginning this year 2023 I had to join the gym to gain some muscles or shrivel up. Thank you Dr. Berg!
Yesteray I crossed the line!!! Thanks to all your great advice. Took me 6 months to go from 185 to 150. That was 2 years ago and I have been hovering 155 every since. Yesterday I go 149. My goal was 145 the entire time. Never thought I would ever get below 150 again. But I did . Wonderful.
Sweet drink Plus the stress on your feet cause your insulin high all the time. You need electrolyte mix LMNT to drink during working. Do not drink any sweet drink at all. Eat alot of green veggies, eggs, beef, port with fat. Avocado and use olive oil. Use less carb, you will feel better and lose your beer belly. Do 2 or 3 meals is fine, no snack at all, just LMNT mixed drink only. After two weeks you will adapt to low carb and intermittent fasting. 8am 1 meal, 12pm 1meal and final meal at 4pm or 5pm. Try to get BMI at 23_25 max. You will be more happy.
You are quite correct 💯. I lost so much weight with fasting, high fiber, protein, by way of seeds, nuts, eggs, fish, and no sugar. After two months of no carbs, I decided to add one handful of oat bran to my veggies because I increased my resistance, HIT, and cardio exercises... I notice that I burn more with jogging than walking because I ran marathons and 10 k's over the years and my body is used to such intensity type of exercises...Yoga and abs exercise help me a lot with retaining flat abs . Thank you Dr. Berg for helping me believe in intermittent fasting. I now can fast up to 36 to 72 hours easily... I do 17 to 24 hours of fasting daily.
Wow! Of all these years seeing Doctors, Dietitians, weight mangement counseling and going to the gym I learned much more from this just this video! Thank you Dr Eric Berg!
and they either have a functioning metabolism or they are overweight and want you to be overweight with them. Heavy set people are always bringing me down. Oh you will never reach your goals. Had two talking S Saturday night. No. I have a goal and their bitterness won't stop me. Friends enemies, they all want you to just eat a few fries.
When I worked in retail and I was constantly running around. I snacked (healthy nuts, seeds, veggies, protein) and I ate like 20 times a day. And by eating I mean a bite here and a bite there and I stayed at 124 pounds at 5’5” Now that I’m retired, I tried intermittent fasting and I gained weight. It’s NOT for everyone. Just cut out the sugary junk, the vegetable oils, the fast food, and stop eating before bedtime by 4-5 hours ! 👍🏻
Strict IF is not for everyone though. :) I have history of binge eating and I'm extremely active and found out that eating high protein, high fat meals 3 times day keeps me satiated throughout a day and don't have any cravings anymore!
In June, I walked a daily average of 27,000 steps a day. I didn't need to lose weight - but lost about 10 lbs even though I was eating more than usual. I'm on a couple of blood pressure medications (which I'd like to get rid of). My blood pressure did drop to the point that I got dizzy several times. Working with my doctor now to see if I can at least cut back on the medication.
A few years ago I lost 18KG over 18 months by walking and eating less. I lost all my muscle as I was not supplementing with protein. I was a skinny fat man. Protein is key to mental health also.
I am in my 70's. I started getting belly. I tried different exercises but I would have to work really hard to get rid of the belly fat. After watching one of Dr. Berg's video on intermittent fasting, I decided to try it. It works! Not only the pounds were coming off, but I could see my belly going down. I was really happy with the results. At first I didn't know what intermittent fasting was or how it works. I was so glad to have learned it on one of his videos. I tried to walk as much as I can. I have a flight and a half of stairs I climbed everyday to my apartment. Cutting out as much carbs. Thank you Dr. Berg for this video.
Apart from exercise , two things worked - intermittent fasting and completely getting off sugar - tea, coffee , baked goods , fruits (ate only apple ) - lost 30 lbs .
Sir. I did exactly what you try to educate us. I was 94 kg but after 7 month I have 65kg. My eight is 5'6". I am smoker too. I want to quit but failed in quiting smoking. Anyhow I will be 50yrs old after 4 months. But now I can do things like I was doing 30yrs ago. I feel myself 19. Thanks Dr. Berg. I love you. From Pakistan.
Working in the produce department and always moving quickly to refill shelves, with keto, was the way I started l losing weight. I went from a size 22 pants to size 16.
I started power walking for 2 hours, 5 days a weeek and lost a lot of weight, even some around my waist and belly. Would highly recommend it along with a sport on the 6th & 7th day!
@@John-fq2io I walk from 7-9 PM post work. If I can, I try to get in a walk post lunch. I work from home and on some occasions I get to take small walks for grocery runs or small errands, which help my cause.
Everything mentioned in the video works wonderfully. In South Asia, where I come from, these methods have been followed for thousands of years, contributing to a healthy lifestyle. However, everything changed with urbanization and industrialization. People shifted to eating fast and processed foods and working in offices. Those living in cities are now facing the most health issues, largely due to their sedentary lifestyles and minimal walking.
Oh wow 😮 I was telling a friend of mine the other day that when I walk it seems like I burn more fat than doing other exercises. Matter of fact I know I do and you just confirmed it! Thanks 😊 Doc 💯
I needed this video today. I was a hardcore Keto person a few years ago and then fell out of it due to some health issues after a hip surgery. I have been getting back to it for the last couple of months and then I blew it this last week… this video was directed towards me. Thank you, Dr. Berg.
I was a PIG🐷....! I HAVE LOST HUGE BELLY FAT in the last 116 days doing mostly KETO🥩🥗 OMAD. 👉Ate One KETO🥩🥗 meal every other day for 1st 2 wks of August(47.5 hours between meals). KETO🥩🥗 OMAD(eat every 23.5 hrs)everyday for rest of August but my only meal every other day is 100 to 200grams of Raw Unpasteurized Sauerkraut🥗. 116 days ago I was wearing 48" Jeans👖and 4 weeks ago I was wearing 34" Jeans👖. Today I'm wearing 30" Jeans👖🙂! For September I am likely going to continue with the same food intake as now.
Man …. this guy saved my life with his videos . I was overweight with fatty liver and insulin resistance but getting educated by his videos I started to put in order my life and eating habits. Now I am 27 lb lighter and A1C dropped from 6.5 to 5.6 . I am taking also his liver detox for fatty liver . Thank you dr Berg 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks Dr Berg. It's been a total battle. Done 3 days fast, but then eaten carbs and put it all back on. So I'm re adjusting , strict keto diet, with fasting and exercise . Started at 106 kg 1.5 years ago to 77 Kg, then back to 92kg..... So the strict keto diet is the secret.✌️
Love your teachings on nutrition etc. I am 72 and battling with belly fat. Also gave severe rheumatoid arthritis/have 12 bolts down my spine (fusion) so absolutely no exercise as my specialist says just walking would love to have a diet plan from you for me. Would really appreciate it. God bless you and keep up with lovely sessions which help so many people❤
I am a living example of the 85/15 rule. I'm 6'5" and lost 50 lbs from 278 to 228 in the first 9 months of 2022. I put about 10 back on over time and almost 5 months ago we switched to organic and non-gmo foods along with a few vitamins. I've dropped 20 and lost a TON of belly fat compared to what I lost in 2022. Currently at 218 and have lost pretty much all cravings and hunger pains because we eliminated all those highly processed foods. 💪💪💪
I've been following Dr. Berg's instructions for almost 2 years; and my health and waistline are in great shape, and then I keep watching him to keep my program sharp. He is a very good teacher and coach. Don't give up, keep trying!
I’m a big fan! I’ve lost more than 10kLs and gained a lot of health benefits since I started doing Intermittent fasting & keto in 2021. Dr Berg, please make a vid on menopause. ❤
This is so much more than KETO. It's healthy eating. I've struggled with extra belly fat since I was a kid. Even though I was small and slender, my tummy was always puffy. I'm grateful that it didn't progress into diabetes. Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information!
Heroes like Dr. Eric Berg made me absolutely terrified of sugar, resulting in a very happy beautiful life with a healthy beautiful body. I am so grateful.
0:07: 💪 Exercise is important for losing belly fat, but the type of exercise matters and it's crucial to switch your body to burn fat as the primary fuel source. 3:33: 🔥 To get your body burning fat, you need to lower insulin by reducing carbohydrate intake and practicing intermittent fasting. 6:48: 🚶♀ Consistency is key in the fat burning process, as even a small amount of carbs can pause fat burning for up to two days. 10:22: 🚶♀ Walking for at least an hour a day can burn stored sugar and fat, reduce stress, improve insulin resistance, and increase steps. 13:45: 🍏 The speaker gained five pounds of fat around their midsection in order to have enough fat for a procedure.

This works. I wondered why and now I know why. i started at one mile a day for a week then added a mile each week. I can now easilly walk twelve miles. I am now encouraging a friend to walk with me. Thank you for explaining this.
long time vegetarian. moderate exercize. didnt understand what ketones were until you explained it. so much information here. all topics very well explained. thank you sir.
Eric always has great information, I followed his intermittent fasting for an entire year, I went from 250 to 212 eating only once a day with a coffee in the morning green teas in between my 1 meal. Now a year later i've been able to maintain weight at 210-212. I have hit my plateau and cannot loose more. I know I have to implement exercise now which I never did.
@@lucienne9476I’ve stopped the fasting for a while now and have kept healthier eating habits now with more freaking meals and have maintained my weight easy. My goal weight a year ago was 210, I’m pretty tall at 6’3… I jump on a treadmill 3-4 days a week and feel healthier now then I ever have. In the start of my fasting it was hard doing just 1 meal a day but after time I felt like even if I didn’t have that 1 meal I wasn’t hungry at all. I went from a size 41 waist to now 36-38.
I’m sitting here thinking how awesome it would be to create wellness centers surrounding Docs insights and knowledge and truly get people healthy and feeling good again! Man, so awesome!!
Yeah, they'll probably go bankruptcy. I'm a military spouse and we have a wellness center on the base. They take care of all your health/weight problems but guess what? Nobody uses.
I'm from Peru. When I moved here I used to weigh 120lbs (5.6 ft). Then, the first thing that happened to me here, was to get sick out of my gust just from eating donuts. Lesson learned for me. Today, two kids later, I weigh 142lbs. I try to eat healthy and I try to avoid junk food at any cost, but nothing works. I cannot lose any weight and I do not gain more weight either. It's frustrating. I hate the extra fat in my tummy. If I could get rid of that fat, I would be extremely happy. 😅 I returned to my country and stayed there for 3 months. Guess what?? I lost a lot of weight and my skin changed in a good way. My husband was in shock about my change. The only thing different in my country was the food and a lot of walking every day. In 2024, I'm back to 142lbs in the USA 😢
@@c.anderson3444 you are funny. You are really out of context. So immature. I was just sharing my experience with one little piece of my life in the USA. I work. I have a Master's degree. I exercise and I eat very healthily. No sugar or junk food in my life.
@marmojalott fair enough then you need to learn some self control no one forced you to eat donuts except yourself. It's out of context to associate it with being in the usa when every country has crap food if you chose it. Isn't it now?
@@c.anderson3444 donuts? 😂😂 I tried once in my life eating donuts and I almost end at the hospital. Grow up and start educating yourself. You’re arriving at conclusions without facts.
I am 70 years old, 6’1 tall. In May 2024 I came off holiday tipping the scales at 107.5kg (237lbs) so decided to change my lifestyle and opted for the 16-8 diet plan where I can eat during the 8 hour window, then fast for 16, (which has actually morphed into the 18-6), to lose weight. 92 days in I’ve lost 8kg. I’ve started riding my bike three times a week and now doing crunches, planking and press-ups, hoping to achieve my target weight of 97kg (213lbs) in the coming months. For me it’s a lifestyle change, I still have a few beers and a glass of wine on a weekend, but get ‘back on the horse’ on Monday so I’m not missing out too much. Already I look and feel better, my blood pressure is normal and the occasional acid reflux has stopped… I really recommend it…try it!
Excellent as always, Dr. Berg. I would love to see your insight on bodyweight exercises that are safe to perform while dropping hypertensive blood pressure.:)
Thanks for the great info! 👍🏻 got back on a lot of keto/low-carbs + fasting diet this year, and dropped 34 lbs already, fasting has been a game changer for me
