If you are thinking "low carb" here is my experience. I eat 100ish carbs a day. I stink at counting calories and carbs so I just stay aware of portion size. I allow myself only one portion of carb foods. If something is super high in carbs I follow the "3 bite rule". I enjoy 3 bites of that cheesecake only. After 3 bites you are not eating for taste but just ..because it's there. I also eat with "intention". I think about my food and enjoy it. No mindless eating. I also eat with a spirit of thankfulness to God for providing my food. Once you cut back on carbs you stop craving the empty carbs...physically and emotionally. The benefits have been rewarding. I have lost weight. My joints are alot less stiff. My blood sugar has dropped from the 130 's to 103. I have more energy. Now I notice that I "crave" food that makes me feel good. I can really "feel" the difference in my body when I eat foods that help vs hurt my health.

Thank you for explaining the options in a clear and very understandable way! I am a 67 year old male, who will start low carb and then if needed work my way into Keto. It is very nice that you inform us of the differences, in a straightforward manner!

Thx for not demonizing the carnivore diet. I have been zero carbs for 11 months and never felt better

I have been on the Virta program for a little over a year. I have been a type 2 diabetic for 14 years. Since going on this program I have gone off insulin in addition to major reductions in blood pressure. My last A1C was 5.4. I have also lost 79 pounds now. Once you get used to the low carbs you feel so much better.

Cutting carbs in half might have been easier the first week. Great idea! I started 16/8 intermittent fasting 5 weeks ago, avoiding sugar, bread, grains, potatoes and junk food. My sugar cravings disappeared in two days, which helped. I’ve unnecessarily beat myself up over a slice of pizza and an avocado and tomato sandwich on one slice of bread 😉 I’ve lost 15lbs (10 water) and I feel much better!

I kinda know that I'm in ketosis when my hunger and cravings for refined sugars and starches have gone away.

I value this ladies input and can't help but feel like she's my family doctor Everytime I listen 💪🏼🙏🏼

[jamesferrell]

I have adopted the low carb diet along with IF (18/6). I'm six weeks in and already see progress. Hopefully this alone will get me to my goal weight. Thank you Dr. Becky.

[dougzirkle]

Reinforced my current low-carb way of eating which I’ve been doing one year. Have lost 33 pounds and have reduced my A1C readings from 7.6 to 5.6. Thank you, Doctor, for taking the time to produce this helpful channel...I don’t miss an episode!

I also eat about 80 grams carb per day. I make sure they are low glycemic ones. I first keto adapted for a while so my body was trained to use fat as fuel more efficiently. I like to do some intermittent fasts too.

[fembot]

I personally need the fibre from a low carb diet. I will have berries a few days a week and large salads each day and I don’t really have to count them.

[izuki]
