Keto has been a lifesaver for me. I was 532 pounds and on my way to an early grave when I finally made the decision to change my life with keto. Your videos have helped me so much. I started the first week of January and today I am down 180 pounds and have never felt better in my life! Thank you so much for everything you do.

[wrightfamily]

Keto is great lifestyle. I have lost 70 pounds my wife lost 100 pounds and off diabetes meds.

Here is another very interesting Keto benefit.
I am 5’2” and was already a size 4/6 when starting this. I am also 66 and most say ...
Ah crap, at 66 and my metabolism is old and sluggish.
Well .. no no no
After a month and a half on Keto
my waist.. midriff area, AND top of thighs have trimmed way down. And I was already a small gal. But this is what cutting out bad carb does to carve out the body.
My small pants are an at least and inch to big now. I don’t ever weigh myself as it’s not important. I am also into IF. It is a very healthy combination for ultimate health!!

There’s nothin like maintaining my girlish figure at 66. Love it. 👍🏻

Good video. I agree. I reached my ideal body weight. I am 64 years old, 6'1" tall, and lost 62 lbs. I went from 250 lbs to 188 lbs. I've been doing keto for over a year. I am staying with this diet to maintain this weight. I also combine keto with intermittent fasting and OMAD. I recommend this diet to all my patients.

In my 40's I unknowingly followed a ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting. In less than one year I lost 65 pounds. I am 5'1" and my final weight was approximately 115 lbs. My grown daughter freaked out and said I looked anorexic. She had never seen her mother thin before. Over time stress in my life increased and I returned to to the average American diet. So I returned to my previous obese weight. Yesterday, after watching many of your videos, I started the ketogenic diet again. In one day my weight has dropped 3 lbs. I know it was mostly water but it's a great start. My goal in the next year is that my weight to be significantly reduced, my energy level increased, and my diet to include many more proteins and vegetables - a truly healthy diet. Thank you to Dr. and Mrs. Berry for speaking the truth. Much love from East Tennessee.

i was 260 the first week of oct. started keto and i have lost 22 pounds!

Thank you so much for this video! I started the Proper Human Diet this past June. I lost 15 pounds in 6 days and the weight loss stopped. However I have continued to get slimmer to the point I've had to buy a complete new wardrobe, new shoes and even jewelry - scary when you don't have much money. I was always a size 10 and now a 6. I only did this diet to overcome depression and pain from arthritis throughout my body, not even sure it would help. I could have cared less about weight. I threw all meds away in 2 weeks (30 years on anti-depressants alone). I had begun to panic over getting smaller and smaller thinking it was never going to end. This was truly an answer to prayer. Yay, I'm not starving! Thanks so much for all you do!!

[lisaswisher]

Just went to doctor. Lost a grand total of 65lbs and my BMI is now 23. My doctor said, ok you can stop losing weight now. People were telling me I was getting to skinny but I feel great! I have dropped from a size 16 to an 8! I love this way of eating! No going back to prepackaged garbage!

[dianeblack]

Thanks Dr. Berry..I'm 77 yrs. old today..7-31-20..I've been on keto since Dec. 2019 and have gone from size X-large to size small..I would not change back to all that junk food. If God has blessed me with old age, then I need to do what I can to take responsibility for this life.

Im on MAINTENENCE now. I still Intermittent Fast for 20 hrs a day with a 4 hour eating window. Lost 106 lbs in 1 year. I feel awesome. Adding in a few salmon patties or pinto beans and homemade corn tortillas ONCE in awhile keeps me happy. Only a few frozen blackberries, whipping cream and Truvia feels like a sinful treat. Bone broth with okra makes me salivate. Recipes can be Keto adapted relatively easy. No more logging in, record keeping or stress. This Ketogenic Way of eating is my lifestyle now. Thank you Dr. Berry for encouraging me and teaching me throughout this journey.

[heatherthurber]

Down 41 lbs in 6 months. I still want to lose at least 25 more lbs but am happy with my progress so far.

[rogers.]

I’ve lost 50 lbs in the last 8 months. Major life change affecting many members of my family, and friends.
Thank you Dr Berry.
Still need to loose 30 more lbs. I’ll never go back. Changed for life.

[siclmn]

Keto and IF for me. I was always a small man 150 to 160 lbs. Now I hoover between 128 to 130 lbs. No more bowling ball midsection. I have gone from wearing medium clothing to small tight fitting clothing. People have told me that I look so fit. I am a cyclist and a landscaper and am 70. My life has been reinvented. I am busy replacing all my old clothing and it is so much fun doing it. I am still surrounded by people who are just being fat as usual. Just do it.

[shaddersshadwell]

I’m down 28 pound since March. It’s been very slow progress, but I’m happy at my current weight of 147 pounds. Your videos started me on my journey and keep me inspired.

[stacydallas]

I started in April 2019 and was 200 pounds, I am now 145 and have maintained this weight for a mo and I am eating more of the carnivor diet. My ketosis is consistant. I started it not just for weight loss, but in hope of preventing cancer reoccurance. I am a breast cancer survivor of 5 yrs. And on this diet I feel better than I have probably my entire life.

[dthain]

Great idea for a video! I'm down 112 pounds and was wondering about this. No more high blood pressure. Love you doc!

[corky]

I had weight loss surgery in 1999. I’ve lost and regained and completely screwed up my system (it was life saving at the time) I’ve been keto now for 5 months and have dropped 50 pounds and 27 inches. I have about 60 to go. But it took about 2 months for the inflammation to leave my body and I’m getting my life back! I feel like I’ve been starving all of my life, until now and not constantly thinking about food. I have never in my life been at a healthy weight. I can truly see a light at the end of this tunnel.❤️

[curiousnook]

I have been on the keto plan for a year and a half- started at 112 lbs remain at 112 lbs + or - 2 lbs consistently- my boyfriend lost 50 lbs- the key is that I didn’t back off the fat i.e. butter, cream and coconut oil in my coffee (my breakfast) after becoming keto adapted- I’m burning fat for fuel, but still burn the fat from consuming the fat- whereas after my boyfriend became fat adapted, he backed off his fat consumption so he burned his body fat for fuel. I feel great and my weight is stable- I DO have less body fat and MORE lean muscle- so don’t be afraid of losing too much weight on keto!

[lisaruiz]

I went through this exact thing Dr. Berry. I'd lost my weight when I started Keto. Then, I reached my goal weight but I lost more weight than I wanted to. All I did was exactly what you said, just upped my *good* carbs a little day by day and got back to where I wanted to be.

[VeronicaJones]

Thank you so much. Most ppl think 🤔 the keto diet will make you lose even if you don’t need it. It’s a lifestyle inflammation free, mental clarity, energy etc... ketogenic lifestyle is the bomb 💣
Have lost 41#. Have more energy. Inflammation minimal.
