For more details on this topic, check out the full article on the website: ➡️ https://drbrg.co/3WoipJd ➡️ https://drbrg.co/4dtZTWZ Healthy Ketogenic Diet and Intermittent Fasting Plan: Step 1: ▶️ https://youtu.be/vMZfyEy_jpI Step 2: ▶️ https://youtu.be/mBqpaAKtnXE 0:00 Introduction: How to tell if you’re in ketosis 0:50 Signs of ketosis 10:25 Learn more about how to do the keto diet! Today I want to cover nine signs you’re in ketosis. Testing your ketones when you first start the keto diet can be helpful. But, the problem with testing your ketones long-term is that once you start to burn ketones efficiently, the tests aren’t very accurate. Thankfully, there are nine clear signs that can tell you if you're in ketosis or not. Top signs of ketosis: 1. No keto transitioning symptoms (keto flu, keto fatigue, keto rash) 2. Weight loss (initial water weight) 3. Loose clothes around the waist 4. An increase in energy 5. A boost in cognitive function 6. Less inflammation and pain 7. Feeling satisfied after eating 8. Better mood 9. No appetite Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 58, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Dr. Berg, you have changed my life! It's not even about the weight (from 190 lbs to 130lbs), I am no longer obsessed with food, I have insane amounts of energy, I sleep better, my mind is clear, I no longer need anxiety medication, I look like I'm in my late 20s (I'll be 43 this year)and I feel proud of myself and my new lifestyle (over a year now)! I am sharing your videos with everyone! Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 (I haven't yet done strictly healthy keto, but I do limit the amount of carbs I eat. I mostly fast between 16-18 hours every day with a 24 hour fast every week or two...i can't imagine how much improvements I will see once I do healthy keto!

This has changed my life. 43 year old now. I have been hospitalised with treatment resistant, severe clinical depression since my early 20s. Had ECT treatment as in in patient on a psyche ward for 3 months. Didn't work. I have yo-yo'd in my weight due to eating my feelings & drinking excessively and anti-psychotic meds that defined my life. Calorie counting worked to a point... but old habits soon creep back in. Weight went down.. depression kicked in...weight went up. Rinse. Repeat. I have gone from 400 lbs down to 190 lbs up to 370 lbs 3 times since 2018. This was my last chance... this year, then I was going to give up. Everyrhing. I was done. Jan 10th... 361 lbs. On 3 prescription meds for depression, anxiety, and mynheart. Pre-diabetic. July 19th... 235 lbs (on the way to 190). No meds. I walk every day. 6 to 12 g carbs max. OMAD. Apple Cider Vinegar... I use Saunas... I use electrolytes... I use BVitamins, DVitamins I use milk thistle, riboflavin etc etc... but I eat clean keto. Salmon, eggs, chicken, chia, cottage cheese, brocolli, asparagus And now... No meds. Blood Sugar avg is 4.5. No depression. No anxiety. I sleep 7 hours and wake gladly at 5.00am I have saved my life and enhanced it in ways I never thought I would. I should and would have been dead. I'm thinking of working again. This isn't a miracle but feels like one. Calorie counting isn't enough. Slimming world is a disgrace... I've taken my time to understand and research all the processes and science behind the ketoenic lifestyle... the value of acetic acid and fasting. How vitally important sleep is. This all starts and ends in your mind. Everything else happens secondarily. Dr Berg. I thank you for your guidance. Also equally Thomas deLauer and James Smith for talking sense. This stuff works. If you meet these guys halfway...and put in the work, you can save your life. Good luck to you all. (apologies for the meandering ramble, but this is only youtube, and it's a brain dump. I am usually more eloquent than this). Again bless you all.

49 years old. I started my keto diet with intermittent fasting 3 1/2 months ago. I have lost 30 lbs, my belly disappeared very quickly, dropped 2 pant sizes, do 8 laps on the track and field almost every day as of now, only eat 2 x a day (9a & 3p), I'm eating foods I never thought I would, and lastly I feel great with lots of energy! A lot of the information for my journey was taken from this channel. Thank you Dr.!

I felt so drained and tired everday. I tried everything, preworkouts, youtube gurus, morning routines that nearly killed me. none of it hit. then i saw someone mention Testosterone Rewired by David Brooks in the comments and it literally changed my life. Following everything in that book past couple of weeks made me realize I was running on empty for YEARS. wish I knew about this years ago🔥

Less inflammation via autophagy, IF and healthy keto is very motivating.

I lost 80 pounds in 4 months and dropped several sizes with a clean, low-carb diet. It was basically keto with an occasional fruit or a few roasted potatoes, but I never counted carbs or calories, I just never ever cheated with sweets or junk food. I added walking, weightlifting and fasting, and lost another 50 pounds over the course of the next two years.
