Do you come to Wisconsin ?

Yes there are essential amino acids, but most of the amino acids used in a human the body can synthesize. You should know that. Also there are essential fatty acids too.

Dr Issa, I'm so glad you were able to lose weight and all, but for post menopausal women (surgical), w thyroid, blood sugar, and adrenal issues, losing weight is so hard. Especially when we don't have Drs in our area. KCMO or KCKS

@@digimom82 Karen what you said is so true!! We are all unique our bodies hormones genetics and condition are each so different! We all need to find our own unique way to access how the body was designed in order to burn stored fat for fuel and heal. I hope that in the coming years that more and more MD's will be open-minded and have their own conversion experience so they can help more people. I wish you the best!

Ramon Issa Thank you Dr. Issa for posting this simple to follow list. It pretty much sums it up on how to stick to a low carb lifestyle. I am going to print it out and stick it on my fridge to help keep me going forward. I am in my 60’s and have been on Keto ( or should say trying to stick to Keto ) for the last year. I have only lost 24 lbs. I need to lose another 50lbs. to be healthier. I’ve had a few set backs because of health issues. Now next month I am scheduled for minor surgery , I have been worried about not being able to exercise . I usually workout 3-4 days per week. But now that I’ve watched Dr. Westmans video and read your post I feel much confident that I can do this. Thanks again!

@@rosedouglas2527 yes! Don't worry if you can't exercise you will still lose the fat!! Best wishes in your health. I'm glad my summary helped🙏

@Google User weight loss is controlled by your food intake not by exercise. Your most powerful weight loss too is your BMR basal metabolic rate or just bring alive 😊 great job on 45lb in 10 weeks!! How long have you stalled now? Exercise will only help you lose more weight if it keeps us from eating drinking carbs 😁

Thank YOU 🙌

Amanda smith im in the UK too and ive just come across him today. Im hoping to have similar success 🤞🏽😊

@@sherrylewin1540 Just keep going & you will get there.

Thats awesome Amanda!! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

RN G SAD is the Standard American Diet.

@@Chuckmbfl thanks. So many Americans think they're the only ones on KZfaq.

Lynn Ohrel I agree with you 💯!

I gave up sugar about 2 months before starting keto so I don't miss it

@Lynn, that's exactly how I feel. From the very beginning, I thought, why would you go to so much trouble to try and recreate something that you're not supposed to have? Why tempt yourself? There are so many unfortunate wrong ideas on the diet, but if people would just listen to Dr. Westman, Dr. Berg, Dr. Berry, etc., they would get the right education on it.

💯 agree

Keto desserts are a waste of time...and expensive .

You have the right attitude and it is inspiring. I wish you continued success!

Im like you im Mobility impaired with my legs and feet but wanna lose weight. Didnt realise just working out your upper body working makes u lose weight. Any partic channels u can recommend?

20 grams rule works great for me too!

Great job Catherine! I'm also 58 and no gallbladder.

Fantastic results Catherine Beaudry, you are an inspiration for a newbie like me under very similar circumstances, thank you for sharing.

Tom Bidlack it will kill you in long run

@@chandanmajumdar7892 got experience of that have you?

@@chandanmajumdar7892 The SAD will also kill you. We all die. This is not news. The difference is the way in which you live before you die has to be considered. Do I want to have parts of my body amputated because of Diabetes? Do I want to have cardiovascular disease and all the effects of that. Do I want to be able to do activities with my grandchildren. Do I want to take a handful of pills every day and suffer the side effects?

I’ve been watching Casey the last few months and I have her journal!!👍🏻

Wow! Impressive. How long did it take you?

Blackbird Singing Thanks for this 😊.

Blackbird Singing love your advice

Blackbird Singing. Thank you for sharing this. I have felt awful for so many years ( lots of stress, an accident, breast cancer,) just started on a keto diet two weeks ago. I actually feel better. Slowly. What is weird though, it makes everyone around me feel uncomfortable when you don’t part take in all the chips, desserts, and pizza. Some pressure. But I will get through it. It’s about me.. right now, not them.

Thank you! 😊

Does ketones help with fat loss

Yeah I've found most of the keto processed snacks are worthless too.

Bad for your gut

@@audreynicoletti7329 I'm getting that too. I'm trying to address my inflammation and learning (as much as possible with all the different opinions out there, lol) about how foods affect the gut. Kinda fascinating. One of the unanticipated benefits I'm finding to IF is to see food more as a utility instead of a recreation.

Anita T congratulations!! It’s a new mindset Once we get ourselves to realize that we’ll enjoy where you are now at

I wouldn't say "only"!

Perhaps you haven't looked very far

I also LOVE Dr Rob Cywes - the carb addiction doc. So simple, direct, and to the point.

Sorry, not true.

@@c.l.montoya2972 Yes it is Keto products! Grass feed bull##! Use butter/oil in coffee! KZfaq is full of BS Keto advice!

Me too. I like going 16-18 hrs and then eating two nutritious meals in the remaining hours.

Victoria, try doing 16 hours fasts as this will get benefits of autophagy. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oNeKprZhmMrQgJ8.html

So true...my mother cooked from scratch. Lots of salad and veggies and no snacks! Chips, soda, ice cream and other packaged foods were only purchased for special occasions like family cookouts. We didn't snack between meals. She used bacon fat and lard. She wasn't trying to cook healthy...just the way she was raised.

We also were MUCH more active! I think that's a big thing too. We always played outside and rode our bikes, even if it was too hot or freezing. There was NOTHING to do in the house so we stayed outside. Sad all this technology has the kids inside all the time.

So true...one TV with only 3 channels! Doing anything outside was better than staying cooped up inside.

Also people MOVED more.

@@lynnries7729 😀 and no remote control!!

I agree on the low carb point, but also eliminate the sugar, it’s in many processed foods. Best thing about low carb, the appetite for more carbs is diminished. My hunger in the past, driven by high carbs, found myself eating all day long. I don’t have that issue today, except during emotional upheavals, such as Jan. 6th.

@@rkeller8141 yes- low carb means eliminating sugar!

You're right but let's not forget to eliminate vegetable seed oils

Wishing I could find a keto friendly clinic/practitioner in the Nashville area as well!😢

I'm so thankful I get all this great info for this free info at my fingertips.

Hi Kristine, we are actually launching a dedicated course on Stalls at Adapt Your Life Academy. It’s called Stall Slayer Check out www.adaptyourlifeacademy.com

I’ve eaten keto since 2019. Was caught up in “keto treats” but eventually decided that its better for me to eat nothing between an actual meals. Its not necessary. Works for me!! No $ spent on products.

Sweet!!!❤️❤️👍🏼

Long and low for me. Exercise is important, particularly as we age. That said, raising cortisol by exercising at too high an intensity will be counter productive.

Me too! Exact same experience :) Going strict this week and finally peeing some ketones - hang in there!

Robbielyn Mccrary I agree. Life is so much easier with IF with Keto, for me, anyway. I have very little hunger.

I just started two weeks ago, along with intermittent fasting. I did so well with the fasting that I’m up to 20:4 and I am stuffed after that one meal. I am literally not very hungry at all. I’m consuming protein and fat keeping my carbs under 20. When did you really see the weight come off? Now, I will say, I’m more concerned right now with reversing my fatty liver. I’m prediabetic and want to get those numbers down. I’m just assuming weight loss will follow?

@@TheVinegarden you keeping your carbs under 20 grams wow thats awesome

@@jamescorsey6041 yes I am. I’m being very dedicated. I was sick and tired of doctors telling me every problem I had was because I was fat. I knew there was a metabolic reason I couldn’t lose weight. I researched everything and found insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. The information I gained from that was invaluable. So I switched to a keto diet which is proven to reverse my insulin levels, treat my fatty liver and the inflammation. In addition the intermittent fasting long term would heal damage the damage carbohydrates have done to my body. It was a serious learning curve because for years you are told vegetables are good for you ( which they are) but in moderation. When I calculated how many carbs were in a “ healthy salad” yikes! I was eating a ton of carbs just in veggies. So, I keep my carbs under 20grams a day...increased my fat ( good fats, olive oil, butter, coconut oil) got rid of seed oils. I got rid of grains, upped my protein. My god it has been exactly 18 days. I’ve lost almost 13 pounds. My aches and pains are disappearing daily, I have a ton of energy ( because I don’t hurt). Best of all, I quit snoring. Drs. Have wanted to send me to sleep studies, hollered about getting the weight off....come to find out, I was obviously allergic to something I was eating that cause my airway to be inflamed. Keto sure is a good elimination diet...perhaps people have food allergies like me without knowing it that is causing them other problems. I can’t tell you how good I feel in this short amount of time. I wished I found this years ago. I’m 58 and look forward to the last part of my life to be more healthy than I was basically my entire adult life with yo-yo dieting and discouragement.

BMOaks thank you, The Adapt Events are coming to Minnesota July 20th. Hope to see you there. www.adaptyourlife.com/events/

Me too!

Ram Traza - Haha, I know, I can see mine now, too. It’s been awhile!

I just met my hip bone after 15 years. I can actually put my hand on my hip.

😂

You guys are funny! 😂😂😂😂

I noticed it too. Gorgeous

Awesome Nancy Hofmeister, thank you for your support 😊

Thank you 🙌

I was thinking the same thing lol.

There are so many keto alternitaves

Hi Linda, we are about to launch an online course called “The Stall Slayer” this will ALSO include 3 weeks on support within a private Facebook group. Perhaps join the wait list at 👇 adaptyourlifeacademy.com/the-stall-slayer/

You may need to change your eating up a little. Some people overcome the plateau by having a cheat day. If you have stuck with it and not cheated (not saying binge), you’re to be congratulated 🎉. Maybe it will help🤷‍♀️

jon clemons thank you for your support 😊

And he's a cutie, too😁😁

Me too. No matter what I eat or the way I eat. Keto or not, eating in the morning too soon after a night fast, I get stomach cramping. My digestive system seem to sleep later than me. I don't usually get hungry until near 11/12.

Good luck Jenny, I started June 1st too!

Lori Wade Thanks for the comment and wishing you success also. I’m not gonna say it’s a quick fix for me, painfully slow actually. Anyhow, no matter how slow, it’s going down 👌 All the best.

BEEF ?

We agree 😊

i do that every day for the past 5 months and it made me lose weight so fast. 16-8 intermittent fasting is the BEST! im surprised that the DR isnt mentioning the fact that the hunger goes away after a few days......wierd.....i have to set an alarm on my phone for the same time every day or ill forget to eat my one meal because im never hungry now

I do fasting 18/4. Eating 4 hour window until tmrrw and it works great! I have been doing LCHF diet-KETO for two month now. Low carb has helped me to feel fuller. No sugar, no bread, no starchy foods, no grains, and no plant oils/fats has been workingout okay. I exercise and been loosing weight. I have T2D so fasting and exercise may help my disease.

@@disnalee Yes, this is what I do, and I agree that it works! A four- to five-hour eating window is much more reasonable than the one-hour one, when you feel you have to cram everything in at once:))

Thank you 🙌
