HOW I LOST WEIGHT WITH KETO DIET AND IT | ALI ANDREEA

Hey guys,
This is a very sensitive subject for me for many reasons but I won’t get into it right now.
The reason why I decided to talk about the weight loss was because I got asked about it.
I know that the internet is going crazy over the keto diet and that some people transform a diet into a cult, but it is not my case.
I wanted to lose my weight that I’ve accumulated in the past two years and I needed something that would truly work. I have mentained my weight for 12 years, so for me it’s not as hard to keep the same weight, it’s really hard to decided what to do to lose the weight in the first place.

Here’s my journey, I know that the first part is pretty long but it’s about my real struggles.

However I decided to add numbers to each subject that I am talking about so this way it is easier for you to just watch only parts that ypu are interested to.
Bellow you will find all the details and I hope this video was as informative as it could be for a first video where I talk about diet and food and weight loss.

Let me know in the comments if you have any questions and I’d be happy to answer you.

Thank you so much for the love and support !

Here’s the recipe for my breakfast!!
Shoutout to MAKEUPSHAYLA who shared this recipe on her YOUTUBE channel.

Recipe ( you can adapt this the way you want, I did it too for my own taste and preference)
- 1 tbsp Chia Seeds
- 3 tbsp Hempseeds
I add normal milk ( works with almost, coconut milk if you prefer) I’d say about 6 tbsp and I let this mixture in the fridge for about an h
Then I add:
- a handful of pecan nuts
- a handful of pumpkin seeds
- a handful of coconut flakes
- 1 tsp Xylitol ( u can use stevia, I personally hate the taste)
- 1 tbsp organic almond butter
- 1 cup berries ( I use raspberries)

Intermittent fasting is a miracle. My skin was better, I lost weight, my digestion got better. And yes! breakfast is overrated! Once I stopped eating breakfast and I noticed I lost weight. And my last meal was at 6pm.

Congratulations on your success on Keto! I’ve been following this way of eating for 5 months now and have been able to reverse my diabetes and lose 25 lbs. I’ve never felt better 💪

Been on Keto and IF since March and I can’t imagine going back to how I used to eat . It’s a lifestyle now. I have NEVER in my life felt healthier, everything is clear . I don’t care to lose anymore weight but it’s how it makes me feel . I am no longer a slave to food . You tube is a wonderful tool to learn from .Great video !

Dr Berg is fantastic. I have done Keto and have never felt better. Your headaches initially are common and are due to carb withdrawal . (Any withdrawal is a body tantrum wanting what it is addicted to ) . I decreased my carbs very slowly because I was away working when I started it and could not afford to feel unwell. It worked. So happy to hear you made a change before the amount was 100 lbs...its great inspiration for those that have some to lose but not a lot- stop the gaining & turn the tide . Cheers to your health!

Good for you. I did this almost 6 months ago. I've had similar results. And carbs made me hairier because I noticed a huge decrease around 50% in peach fuzz on cheeks. I'll never return to the unhealthy carb insulin cycle. I'll treat once in awhile but vegetables/fruits are proper carbs for me. Fiber, healthy fats, protein.

For me personally, keto and intermittent fasting helped me lose weight without ever feeling hangry, lethargic or deprived. Ultimately, the best benefits were that this approach helped me change my mindset in regards to eating. Since I feel great, I don't need to "treat" myself with food to diminish any desires or cravings or psychological issues. I enjoy paying attention to how I feel, and I appreciate having strict guidelines to keep me focused.

In regards to concerns about maintaining the keto diet long-term, there are many valid issues. Every body is different, and we all need to develop sensitivity to what feels right and also do our research in regards to whether or not we are consuming the nutrients we need. I believe that keto is great short-term, and then over time it's possible to start including other foods and see how that goes. The main focus becomes health and vitality and an awareness of what we're putting into our bodies and how it affects us both short and long-term.

Intermittent fasting is incredible overall as it sets clear guidelines and allows you to set limits and come to terms with what you're feeling physically and what you're struggling with emotionally. It allows you to discern what your body needs as opposed to what you emotionally desire.

Dr Berg is amazing! I lost 15 lbs in 3 weeks! Keto/IF is powerful

Weight is such an individual thing as is diet and routine. For instance, I am Andrea's same height, a quarter inch taller and my maintaining weight is 119lbs to 122lbs. Yet, I have little visible fat, and more muscle tone. So, everyone, go by how you feel and body fat percentage. Look at your energy levels and how you gain weight if you do. Body type is very important as health is a contextual and holistic measure. I know this might be a basic concept for some but for others, they might only look at the numbers on a scale. In my opinion, moderation, sensible eating and listening to your body is number one. Secondly, I do think that limiting your eating with certain hours is helpful. Finally, simplicity is the most important way of maintaining and actually staying healthy all your life. Diets don't work if you can't be consistent through time.

Omg even dr Eric Berg- you read my mind woman!!!! And the skin! Perfect♥️

[fannynuora]

I Started Keto also after seeing Katys video. I Can’t be happier that i started. I got same results in one week on keto that I got for month and a half of working out and eating healthy 😅 I’ve been loving your channel since you started and I love your ig get ready with me stories ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[coolpopularlife]

being on my Keto diet for 18 days and I've lost 10 Lbs (only started IT 10 days after starting my diet). I'm also petit like you, so it's amazing that I came across this video!! I totally understand how you say this is a lifestyle, it is definitely becoming one I love, I plan on following this about 2 months if not more :)

[amyhi]

My favorite makeup artist with favorite diet 😘 I did keto and intermitnet fasting for about 2 years now feeling great never looked back. Keep going u look great 🌸

[danil.]

I do Keto and IF, too! I've never felt better. This is the only thing that has kept the excess fat off, but also made me feel so strong and energized. I'll never go back. It has been more than a year now.

[airbender]

I had keto for 3 months, got my desired weight, and..hairloss at the end of third month due to totally avoiding fruits. I stop, then slowly gained weight again. Then I start on keto again. I'm not afraid of keto since I used it as a tool, not as a lifestyle. Avoid fruit except avocado is a must if you want to start ketosis asap. Make your keto period as effective n as quick as possible. Know your tool!!

[mairaabbasi]

U r very elegant lady ...you talk in such a calm way ...I like u 🇵🇰

[FitNesca]

Andrea, you are so sweet and most smiling person I've ever seen on YT! I could watch your videos everyday😊 Thank you for all your advices 😊

[Lulu-rpyi]

[CaRo-ptum]

oh and i also adore bread and croissants and i can’t believe i’ve been able to stay away from them hehe

[manndapannda]

I loved your video! So glad you encouraged everyone to do their own research. I have done keto for the last 7 years and have had remarkable results. I liked the part where you said I know I have lost weight by pinching my arm. I have a place like that too but on my belly. Keep up all the hard work! You look great!

[wem-cf]

I am 162cm and weigh 50-51kg. To gain 7 kg is a lot indeed. When I was holidaying in Paris, I could not resist all the buttery breads and cakes and especially the yummy onion soup!!!! It is indeed hard to resist all the food!!! I do intermittent fasting on a weekly basis for self discipline. It helps.
