Healthy Ketogenic Diet for Beginners:
I’m gonna start keto on August 1st and see how it goes. I have health anxiety and a panic disorder tied to bodily sensations. I heard about the keto flu, you might be weaker and sluggish, your heart rate may go up and feel dizzy a bit so I’m scared I’ll get an episode 😅 but I wanted to try it for so long! I’m 27y.o, 171cm, 61kg and my goal is 55kg. I know I’ll be terrified about hypoglycaemia (i don’t have diabetes, just mental issues), so I hope I’m gonna be okay. I’m a shift worker with doing afternoons and nights so I hope the intermittent fasting thing is suited for shift workers too! Anyway, I’ll let you know how it goes! I’ll do it exactly as this doctor says.

Intermittent Fasting Basics:
I was a successful Realtor and then developed seizures out of no where one day.
My WHOLE life changed.
Its been almost two years and i still have seizures multiples times a week.
Each day I take Levetiracetam (Keppra) 500MG, Phenytoin (Dilantin) 100MG, and vitamins.
I notice my seizures can get worse around my menstrual cycle.
I want a chance at having my life back.
Im going to try the Keto diet.
I really dont know what Im doing and going strictly off YouTube and peoples comments of their experience.
I am tired of feeling anxious about seizures, crying and not being able to live my life.
I really hope i am given a chance at life without medications, tons of doctor appointments, and feeling hopeless😢.

First, let’s talk about what keto is. The ketogenic diet puts you into a state called ketosis. Ketosis is when your body switches from using sugar as fuel to using ketones as fuel. To do this, you have to lower your intake of carbs and sugars. This includes grains, starches, sugary drinks, bread, pasta, candy, and fruits (except some berries).
What about Blueberry?
You also want to limit how often you eat. Every time you eat, you trigger insulin. Insulin stops fat burning and triggers fat storage. Our goal is to lower your insulin levels. The best way to stop triggering insulin spikes is to eat less frequently. This doesn’t mean you have to eat less food (or lower your calories)—it just means no snacking in between meals and only consuming food 1-2 times a day.
On the healthy keto diet, there is one exception to the no-carb rule. You can have as many low-carb vegetables as you want—just avoid starchy vegetables like potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn. You want to have 7-10 cups of vegetables every day.
Stop with the veggies!!!! We are not ruminants…. You are a good doctor. What happened to you??? Afraid to get ghosted on YouTube or are you paid by big pharma???
After lowering your carbohydrates, you want to consume a moderate amount of protein. 3-8 oz of protein per meal. You should always consume meats with fat on them. Never go for lean or low-fat options. You can consume meat, fish, chicken, seafood, eggs (with the yolk), cheese, and nuts.
Once you’ve dialed in your protein, you want to focus on consuming healthy fats. Fats will help you stay full and satisfied. Healthy fats include avocado, butter, olive oil, coconut oil, and animal fats. Avoid soy oil, corn oil, and canola oil.
But doesn’t the coconut oil with coffe break your fast in the morning?
Once you’ve got the hang of keto, you should add in intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting is simply cutting back on your meals and allowing your body more time to recover from insulin. Here are three tips for intermittent fasting:
1. Only eat when you’re hungry
I want to start 10 days keyo just to see How i feel, reduce celulite, butn fat, and feel better❤
2. Skip breakfast
3. Stop snacking
Women not eating at 8AM when cortisol hits…..thyroid issues in the future. Eat !

Here I go 2026 😂
@ZhaneAmaliI started this keto diet 5 days ago and I have already lost 4lbs and definitely feel the difference in my tummy. Cutting out carbs is definitely the key.
@cmhcmh3864Can type 1 diabetics do ketogenic diet? Is this something that they would benefit from?
@Dayana.lasanta.maria.What about women and fasting. Doesn't fasting disturb hormonal balance? And what about hunger being perceived as a stressor by the body and cortisol being elevated as a result?
@junechristie2497Your videos are great. The first time I did Keto, I had no information, I just cut sugars and flour from my diet. I lost a lot of weight and I was really happy. I am loving all your information here... I am going back to keto...
@zamirafroio2225Need pointers please? I want to do keto but since having gall bladder removed I can't tolerate most fatty foods, or cheese, or nuts etc. Have to graze or im doubled over in pain. I feel like I can't eat anything. Would love a video on how to keto when all the good foods make me feel so much pain. Totally stuck.😢
@mishti06Can anyone make chart of this video? So that I can easily start ketosis
@mamoonkhan9708Great question! Aim for 20–50g of net carbs per day, eat whole foods, and avoid processed snacks. Meal planning makes keto much easier. 🍳🥗
@GlowFitLab-m8jWhy can you eat carrots but not Apples? Aren't carrots very high in sugars
@VicNeumannWhat about blueberries?
@mariahuerta-d8kHey Dr Berg, to be able to cut down on flour and swap it with almond flour would increase the ratio of omega 6 wouldn't it?
@vlp-jn9mqHelp! I'm stumped by the "7 cups of veggies". Daily?!
Wouldn't that put me way over the amount of carbs I am supposed to have in a day?
Will this work for me? I am diabetic a recently found out I have uric acid kidney disease stage 3. I am confused because this changes what I can and can’t eat.
@TeriAldridgeHow u stay under 30g carbs with 7 cups of veggies?
@DigThatJawnIrritable is that really hunger? Im rarely hungry just tired always so i eat n eat... always tired. Exercise. 6ft 205lbs. Got blood work, all good... yet tired always
@DigThatJawnBest salad dressing I make every week or two. Make in a wide mouth mason jar and buy a pour lid.
2 c avocado oil
1 c red wine vinegar
2 T swerve or sweetener of choice
1-2 T s good salt
1 T pepper
1 T Dijon
2-4 cloves garlic
Zap with an immersion blender and place the lid. Shake before using each time. Everyone asks for the recipe
Why the Eff would I deprive myself of all the tasty crap just to feel better and live longer? Every moment of your life is about how you feel... so going ascetic just "because" makes no sense...
@LordNovahawk2:40 - you mean vegetables with negligible carbs. So not peas, not potatoes, not sweet potato, not parsnip, not plantains, not corn etc.
@mini696Claiming cauliflower bases and mash tastes anything like the real thing is laughable. It's not even close. None of the alternatives come close to their real conterparts.
@mini696Dr. Berg, every medical school adopts a different type of test to measure insulin resistance. I have 50 years of medical experience, and what I have learned over the last 20 years is that the 2-hour postprandial insulin resistance test is the most reliable one.
@G1000-e1xWhat if you feel nausea with any kind of food making it hard to eat anything?
@Meber-o1dhi ,I from malaysia . I've suffered from OCD for 20 years. I tried many methods and treatments, but none worked. Only after watching your video and starting the ketogenic diet and taking probiotics did my OCD improve and eventually heal. It was an extremely difficult process, but this was the only method that could control the condition without any side effects. Thank you for sharing this natural therapy; you're like an angel who helped me. Thank you. God bless you.
@woonfiona8384I was just about to type into google is coconut oil allowed on keto and you answered the question right after the thought 😁
@Vintagebeauty28God bless Dr. Berg
@spiritonfire3672Can I still do this if im underweight?
@CynArcaneOdysseyThe problem with eating more fat with the protein causes a problem with my high triglycerides
@cathysilva5011What about lemon/lemon juice @drberg
@loversplaylist2649I’m not overweight at all, but have become insulin resistant after getting Alpha-Gal Syndrome. Since I couldn’t eat the usual fatty mammal meat, I started eating everything I could get my hands on that was AGS safe. I’m worried about passing out at work from only eating two meals a day.
@Fruit_InfinitiI followed dr Courtney hunt’s keto and fasting program last year but became confused by her program. One detail I remember well is her disdainfor vegetables. She claimed that they have no nutrients because the soil they are grown in is depleted from centuries of being used and reused, and they are filled with toxins and heavy metals from the soil, which causes inflammation. It makes it hard for me to eat veggies now. Her program was no veggies except avocado. Not fruit, less than 20g carbs and a 3:1 fat to protein ratio. Do you have any insight on why her method could be incorrect? I want to try your method but she’s scared me into believing hers is the only way despite it nOt working for me
@qkmgI did full-on keto for about two and a half years. But my wife and child only adopted it half-heartedly. Compromise is the killer. Don't have 'just one' prohibited item. It's a slippery slope. I began again yesterday.
@joelunchbucketWhat about quinoa and buckwheat?
@fabiolaneofernandez4502Carrots and tomatoes?? That doesn’t seem right
