Great video Dr. Berry. Wish I lived closer to your neck of the woods, All the doctors here are Pills, Pills, Pills!!! And when you get Sicker from all the pills, guess what? Here's another Pill. What happened to "First, Do NO Harm!"

[michaelfalkenberg]

1. Trying too hard; don't start with too many hours
2. Accidentally breaking your fast; not knowing what breaks your fast.
3. Not eating enough fat.
4. Not eating enough vegetables.
5. Fasting during the wrong hours for you.
6. Using artificial sweeteners during your fast.
7. Not eating enough salt.

I'm South Korean and we were intermittent fasting and doing keto back when it was called abject poverty from imperial colonialism.

Thank you Dr. Berry! I have learned so much from you! I have been on the keto diet for 3 months and fasting 16/8. I have lost 26 lbs, went from a size 16 to a size 10. I am off ALL diabetic meds. My A1C is 5.9 from 8.1. I feel amazing and I am super excited about my future and what is next! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge!!!

I am a newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic, 2 weeks ago.
My Dr referred me to a 'diabetic awareness' meeting with a nutritionist.
She told me I needed to eat 3 meals a day with 45 grams of carbs per meal. I brought up IF, Dr Fung and the studies showing the benefits.
She just dismissed it and would not even discuss it.
Needless to say, I am going to ignore her and continue Keto and 16/8 IF.

I've been researching the Keto plan for several days now.You're approach is definitely just common sense teaching. I'm sticking with you because you explain things without all of the confusing extra medical information that a lot of us don't understand. Your videos don't focus on promoting pills and supplements and items you need to run out and purchase! I like that!

Great work Dr Berry. Greetings from Ireland. I am 38, 6' and last Saturday weighted 210lbs. Started doing 20:4 intermittent fasting and carnivore since then and in 5 days since I have lost 10.2 lbs. Feeling great physically and mentally.

[kham]

Thank you! You have a wonderfully soothing voice, and I will subscribe. So refreshing you are not selling products! Glad I discovered your channel.

I started with 16 hours fasting. Today I was busy at work and I only ate 1 meal in 24 hours. Its the first time in 10+ years that ive done that. Plus Ive lost 10lbs in 3 weeks. Ive never successfully lost weight. AND Im less hungry than Ive been in a long long time.

[thetyperpiper]

Great vid, as usual, Doc. I've been watching your vids for about a month, and now plan on going keto this year. I'm spending January on the Carnivore diet to clean out my system.

Started my one-month Carnivore Jan 1st, with intermittent fasting. I eat twice a day (gotta have my breakfast eggs), once in the morning and once in the evening. I started waiting for breakfast a little bit longer (half hour increments), and dinner a little bit earlier (half hour increments), just to see if I could do it. After the fourth day (day three was the hardest), I still wasn't hungry come dinner time but ate anyway for fear I'd get hungry later and break the fast.

Started my IF as 12-12, then worked down to 14-10, and after only a week, I'm on the 16-8 IF.

Now I'm thinking of pushing it a little bit longer, say 17 or 18 hour fast, with less time for my two meals. (Still want the two meals because I eat dinner with my wife - and she doesn't like eggs for dinner.) What do you think? (FYI: I've already last 6 pounds, but recognize that most of that has to be water weight.)

[fmagalhaes]

Doc Berry. Thanks for the video.. Intuitively i.e. listening to my body, I was able to find my optimum fasting window. Listening to you and others on youtube, I was able to not make the intermittent fasting mistakes.

[moncsi]

Thank you! It was helpful ! I started fasting again combinated with keto, but I don't know about this things at all.

[norahlea]

I can now do a 22/23 hour fast on this keto journey. I've had great results. I only do it 1 -2 times per week.

[jonigreenwell]

I LOVE that you tend to keep your videos under 10 minutes. Lots of good info in a short dose. Well done. I refer you a lot because of that respect you have for your viewers time.

[gloriawright]

Thank you so much Dr Berry. I enjoy the information you share on keto.

[sallymae]

Hi Dr. Berry, I just found you on u tube and wanted to say thanks for the great videos!! I have previously lost 50 pds on keto and got off track and gained 15 pounds back. I am ready to start again and you have been great motivation! Thanks again and please keep making videos.

[Winchestered]

You're amazing. For years I've struggled with the diet yoyo, never once did my doctor ever mention intermittent fasting, nor did she mention the incredible benefits. Weight loss is on point, and I now UNDERSTAND how I put on the weight and I understand how to get it off without gimmicks. This is fantastic, thank you!

[amysakol]

Wow, this is amazing. I am very impressed with your responsiveness Dr. Berry. I have subscribed to many other Keto and IF channels but found them to be a one-way conversation. Thank you for sharing your time and expertise on these super important topics.

[sharmalamanoharan]

Thank you Dr. Berry. Great information. I just have started intermittent fasting and i just needed the guidelines. Thank you very much. Appreciate it.
