Counting Calories is Stupid!

For years we were all taught that it's simple to lose weight, simply burn more calories than you eat and you will lose weight. The problem is, this doesn't work as a means of permanent weight loss for 99.9% of humans.

Obesity, Over-weight, Insulin Resistance, and T2DM are not calorie surplus issues, they are hormone issues. Until you fix your food and fix your hormone levels you will never lose weight and keep it off.

The Standard American Diet, which is still spreading around the world, destroys your hormone balance and leads to weight gain and disease. The farther you move away from the SAD the closer you come to health and wellness.

Here's how you lose fat! ▶▶▶ bit.ly/KETO101

I'm telling people I've cut out sugar and simple carbs (as a way of life), because the minute I say "Keto" people are telling me (who really know nothing about it) how "dangerous" it is. However, they think it's really cool that I've cut out sugar and simple carbs, lol.

[jackkelly]

Amen brother. Couldn’t agree with this video more. I was doing OMAD eating anything I wanted, the scale went down, but plateaued for months and months! Cut out all processed sugars and 95% of my carbs and holy shit! I’m eating over 3 meals a day I’m so satiated and full and the scale is going down the body fat is falling off! I can’t believe it. Fat calories and sugar calories are definitely not equal.

I am an RN and am so HAPPY to see more MD's getting on the Keto bandwagon! Thank you!

[Cherylquilts]

Lost 31 lbs. in five months! Did not count calories at all. Did not exercise at all. I am now below my goal weight. I am 68 years old, and look the best I have looked in 25 years! Thank you Dr. Berry and the Keto diet!

[alijaved]

You are doing a great service for humanity

[rhondalyn]

"...back when I was a fat, stupid doctor...." hahaha...great vid, Dr. Berry; thanks so much!

[Teeglee]

Well said Doc! Hubby and I have been working out and “eating clean” for 20 years. We recently went Keto and have never been so lean! Our abs have popped, our veins in our arms are popping, we are absolutely loving it! Oh and husbands blood pressure is the lowest it’s been (he was on meds for 15 years) so glad we found this!

[ItchesIt]

I've been doing the ketogenic diet since April 2017 and recently started intermittent fasting. In total, I've lost 62 pounds and I'm still dropping. I've never felt better!!! No. More. Hypoglycemia!! So happy to not get dizzy anymore!! So happy to see my midsection drop INCHES!!! So happy to feel good about myself!!
This is my new lifestyle! So loving this!

[Gigi-zz]

I lost a lot of weight and never counted calories! IF and Low carb!

[a.c.]

I’ve just stopped counting calories for the first time in years and my mind is telling me that I will turn into a ballon. However you just told those negative thoughts that they’re stupid and invalid. This gave me so much motivation! Thank you!

[magicdaveable]

I always use Calories when discussing replacing petroleum energy density with alternative fuels.

[dalin]

I just found your videos. I am a relatively recent convert to LCHF. My life and my patient's life have changed for the better! As a fellow family doc, it's refreshing to find there is another PCP giving sound nutrition advice. Keep it up!

[krisbryant]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I have been preaching this over and over - even inside keto diet groups - but nobody believes me. This mis-information about calories is so ingrained. Thank you so much for finally providing a video wd can share with studies and sources, instead of just our own knowledge. Thank you!

[edjosef]

I lost 90 pounds counting calories but it's definitely easier to maintain the weight loss or even lose more weight when intermittent fasting.

[billsmith]

Just started Keto today and this is the only place I could find an answer about calorie restriction. Great video.

[amydean]

I have been saying this for YEARS and my MD hubby kept saying "calories in and calories out". Sending this video to him STAT!! Thank you!!!!

[maggie]

Counting calories you can still eat what you want. Doing the keto you can't.

[aronnov]

Lost 60 pounds in less then 4 months exercising and counting calories. I guess I’m stupid....
