This is for both beginners and those who are advanced but are experiencing problems like keto plateau.  With fasting, you’re trying to go from sugar-burning to fat-burning.  What is Healthy Keto?: Healthy Keto is not just a low-carb diet. With Healthy Keto, you want to eat quality low-carb foods that are higher in nutrients.  The best indicators to know fasting is working:  • Your appetite is gone  • You can fast comfortably  How to start intermittent fasting: 1. Push your breakfast further and further towards lunch (you can have bulletproof coffee or MCT oil)  2. Eat at noon and add fat to the end of your meal  3. Eat at six and add fat to the end of your meal  A six-hour eating window with an 18-hour fasting cycle is great and can provide a lot of benefits, such as: • Supporting cognitive function, focus, memory, creativity, and mood  • Supporting the immune system • Decreasing inflammation   How to get rid of snacking: • Don’t buy snacks  • Stay busy  • Have a large dinner with plenty of fat • Have apple cider vinegar in your water  • Have lemon juice in your water • Consume a large amount of vegetables during meals  Things that will help you fast longer: • Green tea  • Cinnamon  • Garcinia  • Ginseng  • Ginger  What to do if you experience symptoms like keto flu or keto fatigue: • Take B vitamins • Take sea salt  • Take electrolytes and trace minerals  Fasting mistakes:  • Consuming a small snack  • Consuming a small amount of carbs  • Thinking the results will happen quickly (give it time!) • Consuming everything in moderation  Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 57, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

I waterfasted for 40 days and cured my fibroid tumors. They are literally gone. It's been about 10 years later and I still dont have fibroid tumors! NO pain there every month either! I was able to have a baby because of it. I started 23 hour intermittent fasting with one meal a day and it's helping my health issues overall. It is amazing!

I've been intermittent fasting for about 3 months and I'm a completely different person. I've smoked cigarettes and weed, done lots of meth and other drugs, drank enough alcohol to kill the average person, and ate nothing but processed foods, until I turned 30 in January, and yoga, fasting, quitting all drugs, and eating organic, or in my case microgreens and sprouts with fresh farm eggs, and I don't feel like I'm dying any more lol. If anyone reads this, know that you can get healthy! You just have to want to do it! And honestly, it's been really fun! And because I'm changing my life to get healthy, my girlfriend has as well! Just by association!

You never hear about intermittent fasting on TV. That is because diet companies don't want you to know about it because it's free

I’m 3 weeks into IF. I’m doing one meal a day and walk two miles a day. I started off at 240 lbs, now I weigh 222 lbs.I start a two day water fast tomorrow , I still will do my walk. I wasn’t sure if I could still exercise and water fast but dr berg okayed it. I feel amazing. Low stress, no brain fog, no cravings, no headaches, my blood pressure is low. I feel stronger. I can see the difference and I definitely feel it. For anyone wondering if they should start. Just start. It doesn’t matter how much you weigh. Take the journey. The weight will come off. Trust the process and enjoy it. For encouragement, I just come back the dr bergs videos and read the comments for reassurance.
