I lost 65lbs in four months just by reducing carbs to only breakfast. Healthy ones at that, oatmeal, whole grains, fruits. Meat and veggies only for lunch and dinner. Lots if water. Excersize 5 days a week. Nothing crazy. No gym memberships. Pushups and running. Stuff you can do at home. Been life changing.
so you just started doing sport and move your ass. ofcourse you will lose fat. reducing carbs helps in this but you changed your lifestyle. thats the main factor
@@johnmachter40 sugar is the biggest thing that makes you gain weight. Too many carbs turn to sugar however you should utilize carbs if you're training 5 days a week. Fasting while working out and doing breathing exercises feels amazing
I’m 6’2 and in good shape with a 32 inch waist I’m 220. I got all the way up to 312 pounds despite working out 5 days a week and not eating what I thought was a decent diet. I couldn’t lose weight like I could in the past so in my efforts to figure out why I stumbled onto Dr Berg. I went hard full keto with a 21/3 fasting to eating schedule. In 5 months I lost over 100 pounds, after the first 30 days the weight melted off. Apparently I was pre diabetic with insulin resistance. Literally all of my health problems went away, my heart palpitations my swollen joints and joint pain, I slept better had more energy than I knew what to do with as well as a huge increase to my libido. Keto is legit and I feel that sugar is a poison and people eat far far too much.
Dr Berg is an awesome resource. His videos help motivate me.... but the fifty pounds I’ve lost and increased health benefits are for real. Sugar is like a hard addictive drug. It’s hard to get away from with out a little discipline.
I had a major cerebellar stroke in 2013. Brain surgery, the whole 9 yards. After all this brain trauma, neuro fatigue is a major problem. I can't exercise 'cos I can't walk that far. I wanted to reduce the inflammation in my body so started keto in January 2020. To date (June 2021), my fatigue is way better, my energy levels are much higher, my skin is better. Plus, I happen to have lost 30kgs. I'm the lightest I've been since I was in my 20s. I'm now 63.
It's the habit you need nor the substance. Find an innocuous substance. I used to be addicted to marguerite as. Well I guess technically they're called palomas A paloma is squirt to killa lime juice and salt. But they don't make diet squirt anymore and I didn't want to drink anymore. So now I mix fresca which is sugar free lime juice and salt no tequila no sugar. I have one every night when I get home it's awesome. I also have a bone broth with it. That is my nightly ritual I don't miss the sugar I don't miss the booze because I've got this I've got another substance that's virtually calorie free.
I’m not condoning nor supporting the use of weed, but after a long day of work, and working out, smoking always loosens me up. Wether it be giving me tolerance for pain sensation, sleep, testosterone. Hell , i think it helped me with appetite, there’s so many shady substances out there that’s just a fat sloppy mess, substances that can put your entire way of life to shit, but weed is helpful in it’s own merit. Not saying it’s beneficial, some drugs aren’t for everyone.
16/8 fasting has helped me go from 434 lbs to 371lbs since august 1st. its working for me and i know its a life style that i will continue for life.. under 300 by the 4th of july is the goal.
utewbing, the problem with that is exercise greatly increases appetite and is not the answer for people struggling with cravings, weight loss etc. @Carlos T, you keep doing what you’re doing man! Start to push towards 18/6 and then 20/4 or one meal a day and only think about adding exercise when you have absolutely killed your addiction to carbs or you’re approaching your ideal weight 💪🏼
I've begun to go for walk/runs with my dog and also incline walks on my treadmill. I just did a 30 hour fast yesterday and dinner is usually chicken breast or some other protein. Thanks for the motivation guys
Jack TM ok yep happens I don’t get a lot of jokes or sarcasm since stroke (brain damage 😞) I should just stay off social media or quit commenting anyway 🤦♀️
It has taken me 4 years to find this podcast and to see that I came to the same conclusion all by myself. Always tired after lunch, aching joints ect. My body told me to stop various carb intakes and I feel so much better. No bread, no sugar, no pasta. Refined carbs, grain based foods. Quite remarkable...
I went on keto lost 2 and half stone, Got better focus (massively decreases ADHD symptoms) And cured back pain Fatty liver And IBS entirely gone which I was on medication. Keto diet is ace ,
I recently stopped eating carbs like bread and pasta - and I'm a pasta maniac so I was really eating lot of that stuff. I'm 2 weeks in and already I'm feeling a lot better and my damn belly isn't so bloated. Still big - but I'm seeing progress. Also I'm not so tired and sleepy all the time.
I weigh 185lbs @ 6ft, and that is gym weight. 6 days a week 2 1/2 hrs in the gym. I eat what I want. Your way of living sounds pretty damn Boring/Bland.
As soon as I focused on cutting out processed foods and sugar my health changed dramatically and fast. I eat as much natural foods as I possibly can! I now even enjoy growing a lot of vegetables.
most processed foods have ingredients that help sustain shelf life, that is where the problem comes in. Thats why natural foods will age quickly vs food that was processed. Look at the ingredients then anything else..
I'm happy for you. What are some foods that you regularly eat on keto? I'm trying to create a list of foods that I could just stick to. Preferably foods that already have a lot of fat in them.
@@munen343 Bacon and eggs are going to be your best friends. A ton of fatty meat, salmon, chicken (not a lot tho, you don't want to eat too much protein), and a TON of green, non starchy veggies. Broccoli, cauliflower, zuchinni, spinach and avocado are good keto-friendly veggies. Remember to always track your macros tho, that's the most important part.
Pleaseeeeeee eat poly and mono UNsaturated fats. Eating keto with lots of saturated fats WILL cause fat deposits within your arteries and cause heart attacks or strokes
@@blackmagicks its not always. I tried allot of diets for a long period. And high carb suits me. Im a lifetime atlete and still compete in MMA and BJJ, very low body fat and always fit. Rarely any injuries so i gues im doing allright.
My wife and I started Keto just over a year ago and I've lost over 100lbs and she has lost over 30lbs. She was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 8 months ago and has almost completely reversed it with diet and mild exercise alone. After cutting out the processed sugars and refined carbs, we both started feeling loads better, our energy levels went up, and we actually look forward to our workouts instead of dreading them! Thank you guys for bringing this information to the forefront! -Brett
@@shauncollins678 yeah i never had respect for keto. Intermittent fasting while eating a healthy diet and growing muscle mass is a powerful tool toward good health
@@MAN9027 Agreed, from what I've seen people that lose weight end up gaining it all back and then some, probably because they never really learned how to use diet and exercise properly.
Went from 290 to 180 in about 13 months, by not eating sugars and carbs anymore, also almost cured my psoriasis! Sure beats what the dermatologist suggested.
When I cut my carbs out my psoriasis is so much better, but when I compete for wrestling I try to eat a few carbs to keep my energy levels up for all of my training, eat a few carbs for my first meal out of fast and it helps a ton with my energy through my workouts
I mean, I've done my research, and done my sport at both attempts, and adding like 20 carbs a day (if I have practice that day) allows me to maintain ketosis and I don't die when I do hard drilling practices or live practices
As soon as I started keto, even before I lost much weight, I noticed that I didn't need the afternoon naps and the overall feeling of well-being is simply amazing.
Keto is an amazing diet. I just don’t wanna eat like I used to, you get full so fast and have more energy. I used to LOOoOOooVE food, couldn’t stop snacking and ate like man portions but now I eat like a normal person. Keto rules.
If you want an early death or want to suffer degenerative diseases it's an amazing diet. Jimmy Moore sees to be doing so well czcams.com/video/CT8K6NcAigo/video.html
@@noahwardak886 wow, that's incredibly fascinating. I certainly hope I can find more footage of this big-headed individual discussing his dietary habits
Obviously Phafanapolis, you know nothing about good food and can not appreciate what it means to “growing up Italian” in America. The pasta, in its many shapes and forms and often hand made, is a treat when sauced with authentic, fresh garden tomato’s with spices and herbs, hours on the stove top...home made with love... and the best part, Sunday Dinner where the family and often friends would gather for a great meal and conversation. It was really like a celebration, every Sunday Dinner.
Best thing to do is finding the best meal plan for the day and repeating it over and over to start. Find something that gives what you need nutritionally and energy wise and eat that every day. So start with finding a good breakfast, lunch, and dinner that satisfies your cravings, gives you your necessary nutrients (which you can also find pills and supplements for). Track if it's giving you the recommended amount of minerals such as iron, potassium, calcium, etc and eat that everyday. Then add another meal plan after you get sick of that. And now you have two days worth of meals you can prepare and alternate every other day. Slowly add more and more until you finally have a whole week planned out and written down. Then life gets easy. It comes down to restocking the ingredients needed and fucking cooking it. Once you have done this it really helps you stay on course and away from donuts, bread, and other foods that are bad for you. Get your shit together
No you don't. Does Joe sound happy to you? No, he freaks out about food. Fuck that. Live like a Rockstar... No famous/well respected artist ever had a strict diet.
High carbs and sugar are meant to be treats, eaten for a event or holiday, yet we live off of it. We should be living off of food you could find in nature, not super processed
I have a fatty liver now because of years abusing cookies, chocolates and shit, i'm very fit, i surf, skate, workout, but i feel totally what Joe said, when i'm eating clean, my body is a machine and when i eat junk, i feel hangover, sleepy with joints aching.
These scumbag food companies want you to continue believing sugar is at least a sometimes food. It isn’t. It’s literal poison and is the reason most people are in hospital.
@@mitzycasanova9041 I’ll often make a strawberry smoothie and since strawberries have next to no cakories I can have a lot of it and feel full for longer throughout the day but it’s only like 200 calories
Thanks to Joe and some of his guests (shout out to Dom), I've been doing Keto for 4 months. I started at 302, and I'm down to 245 (I'm 6'4"). My exercise has increased by just a little amount, so it's almost diet alone that has me down 57 pounds. I'll do the keto diet the rest of my life. I understand how bad processed sugar/flour is now. Never again will I be the slob that I was.
I tried Atkins several times several years ago (basically re branded as Keto of late), with some success and no side effects until the last time. I was in hard core ketosis for several weeks, not hungry and tons of energy, until my heart starting doing something weird, beating really hard and slow to the point where it kept me up at night. Once I went out of ketosis, it went back to normal. Tried again thinking it wasn’t ketosis, weird heart beat came back and I thought this can’t be good so I haven’t gotten back into it since. I think the idea of keto is good, but I just can’t handle being in ketosis anymore which is a bummer.
@unknown it’s normal, Keto is only for super obese ppl, if u just wanna lose some weight to look shredded, just carve out a caloric deficit and go do lifting/cardio 😂. Ur brain needs a looong time to switch from carb to no carb diet for it being able to function normally
Everything joe said at the end is true. I was depressed and in a shitty relationship and really didn’t get much sleep so I ate alot of crappy food in between the times I should’ve been asleep. And then you wake up do it all over sleeping in late eating carby meals. I went from 280 to 210
So hard for people to understand how long you can go without food when we aren't putting carbs and sugar in our pie hole. Went carnivore 4 months ago at 52 and never had so much consistent energy on demand. Still in weight loss mode but plan to try to vary the diet a little more once I reach my fighting weight, wherever that winds up just eating OMAD and eating to satiety.
There's nothing wrong with anecdotal evidence in addition to more rigorously gathered scientific evidence. You can be scientific and still discuss anecdotes and case studies. There isn't a scientific study on literally everything accounting for every possible variable, and things vary from person to person. It makes sense to take anecdotal evidence into account where documented experimentation may be lacking.
Joe, up until a few months ago I thought you were just some crazy ass drugged out comedian who just made me laugh but I never really took you seriously. After really following your podcasts you have opened my eyes to so many new topics and I have began a lifestyle change to balance my nutritional intake. I could never get on board with diets because the information was never presented in a way that I could relate to. You’re ideas and topics are so relatable and intuitive because you break down the science of nutrition into an understandable language. Keep it up man thanks for sharing everything!
Preach ! I lost 30 pounds once cutting out carbs and processed foods. Cholesterol became perfect my fatty liver GONE glucose perfect. My body gets sick if I add sugar back in. Joe is right 👍
Diagnosed with jessners, an autoimmune disorder years ago. Learned hard way you are what you eat. Great podcast! Thanks joe.! Jordan Peterson another remarkable individual. Nothing but respect for you both. Keep up the mind changing perspectives!
I'm down 49 lbs. Started 28 August, 2017, at 220lbs. By 27 Nov 2017 I was down to 180 lbs, a pant size and a couple holes tighter on my belt. Less body fat (definitely noticeable). I slowed it down, and haven't been as strict through 2018, and hovered around 177. I've started intermittent fasting 16/8 and leaning keto in food choices, and I'm down to 170-171. This mess is real and practically a miracle worker. Damn near everything can be traced back to what you put on the table.
Do u mind telling what your diet consisted of..wanting to do this but how exactly did you lose your weight? What Foods? Great job by the way, that's awesome! Thanks
My problem with carb dense foods is not only do I feel sleepy but it makes me want to eat more and more and more. Where high protein high fat foods make me full but not sleepy
I think healthy whole grains and beans are an important part of a good diet, fruits too. It’s all about balance and eliminating the processed foods and added sugars. You don’t have to be keto.
I used to eat a lot of bread and cheese, with almost every meal, its been a year since I quit that stuff. I'll swear by it because I feel that much better, the joint pain is real with bread .
@@gene5237 Fair question, I stopped eating cheese two weeks before i stopped eating bread, still had inflammation in my joints. Went away when I quit bread.
I've been eating a carnivore diet since Feb 15th of this year. I have eaten grapes and watermelon, at different times, and went straight back to the arthritis type pain in my hip and back. It's crazy! As long as I'm eating this way, I feel great. I'm honestly not sure I'll ever go back to anything else. It's hard to make sense of, but I know I feel better.
I’ve cut nearly all sugar and breads out of my diet for the last 6 months and I’ve never felt better in my life. Lost 22 pounds and never get that insulin crash anymore. It’s unreal how my sugar/carb cravings are virtually non-existent now and it’s just become easy.
@Josh Carrillo Yes and no like if you eat a 12oz steak with three sides of veggies like broccoli you are not going to be hungry for at least six hours compared to eating a family size bag of chips or some other junk food that makes you feel starving three hours later
@@joerotter2873 No shit, if you eat a bunch of a sides with anything it's hard to overeat on one thing. But if you just fill your plate with chicken, it's very easy to eat beyond an appropriate daily caloric intake.
@@electron7659 I wouldn't recommend eating just chicken. I'm saying that if you were to eat nothing but chicken, you could very easily eat too much, as you have nothing else to fill you up that isn't as calorie dense as chicken is. If you were to go on a chicken only diet, I would recommend watching how much you eat because, again, it's very easy to consume a lot of calories without realizing it.
@@MasterChief0522 Oh because yesterday, I ate a full bowl of pure home cooked chicken but I fasted all day. I did a 22 hour fast. So do you think perhaps I didn't go over my recommend daily caloric intake?? (I weigh 174 lbs and 5'8" tall.)
I find it crazy that most of the trending topics on diet and exercise is getting popular today but Joe has literally been talking about it literally 4 years ago, like no lie where the hell have I been? Very eye opening
My GF’s doctor AND endocrinologist can’t give her a straight answer about her recently diagnosed “sub-clinical hypothyroidism”. Nor will they refer her to a dietitian or nutritionist to help with dietary needs. She has gained 30 pounds in the past two years, despite working out six days a week and watching her portion sizes. She’s been put on various thyroid meds, and no drug or dosage helps with her fatigue, continuous weight gain and hair thinning. She was looking into trying out the ketogenic diet, because she’s also insulin-resistant having an under active thyroid, and keto helps with people who have that issue, by lowering or eliminating the intake of bad refined carbs (anything from a packet or a box). But then she heard that keto can put further strain on the thyroid and cause a whole host of other issues in the body. She also read that exercise can stress a hypothyroid body, further exacerbating symptoms. Since she cannot get an answer on the optimal diet or exercise for her condition. Back to square one, and she feels helpless. I’m not a doctor, but I wish I were. I can only google so much with her until it becomes a fucking abyss of marketing ads and money-making fads. This is frustrating. *Any helpful suggestions out there?*
I also have hashimoto's and PCOS. Also rosacea has recently developed, which is supposed to be hormonal. I recommend her check out www.reddit.com/r/hashimotos if she hasn't already. At least it helps you feel not so alone. Also extended fasting has helped me lose weight during quarantine. Cutting out all sugar and carbs except for 90% dark chocolate and fruit / veg seems to help. Unfortunately we can't just eat less and exercise. It's a whole lifestyle adjustment. I don't know if I'll be able to keep this up when I go back to work but for now it's working. Good luck, hope she finds something that helps
sunshinepig - thank you for taking the time out of your day to write this great comment. This is super helpful information and I will direct my GF to that website for some extra support. Hypothyroidism is a hell of an illness... I wish the best for you too, I’m glad you found something that works for now!! 👍
@@RustySpoons6490 I have a few cousins with thyroid issues. They all say lchf makes them feel much better and eases the symptoms, but some don't adhere to it constantly because it tends to imoact social life. I also strongly suggest finding a naturopath or someone who knows about herbs. There are a few I know of that impact women's health heavily, but I don't know enough about it to recommend the dose or something. Hope she gets better 😊
I stopped eating almost all refined sugars, and went low carb, cut processed foods too and I lost 40lbs from Oct-March doing very little excercise just walking my dog here and there.
You are what you eat. A little bread here and there I don't think is bad really. But, anything processed is a no for me. I eat nothing that comes in a packaged bag. Fast food, stay away from it! Just eat real food like they said. Meat, fruits, veggies. Simple. Now, beer is still the issue, lol; but, it's made from water and plant parts.... :P
@@tonithepony9846 more than a mountain dew ? High fructose corn syrup is the one of the worst things to put in your body. I'll still choose a beer over a can of soda. Soda and sugary drinks bring no benefits
@@nonphixion4771 Did i say beer has more sugar then a mountain dew? No i didn't. Beer has a shitload of sugar. That's like saying well I'll take 4 adderalls over 5 hydrocodones.
That snowball effect he talked about is so real. I switched from drinking coffee to tea, started going to bed earlier, had less anxiety and energy highs and lows, and can control my hunger and mood better. All of that has aided me in going low calorie (I can't do keto, but hands down cal in vs out still works, and fueling my body with healthy food it metabolizes well works)
I've tried a lot of different diets to find what works for me. The fun thing about the diets for me is that I always learn about new ingredients and learn new recipes. Low carb had the biggest impact on my overall well being but was culinarily too restrictive. But reducing carbs and eating whole grains, beans, lentils, lots of vegetables and meats is the sweet spot. But there is no "one size fits all" diet. Try things out and learn about what works for you. And don't shove it down other people's throats! 😊

I had an allergy for two years, doctor said 70% of allergy have no cure. I was taking antihistamines every two days and the antihistamines would knock me out that I had to sleep 12+ hours. It was messing up my work and sleep. I went on a vegetarian diet for 8 months and a vegan diet for a month and it helped a little bit (only had to take meds once every 4 days). 10 days ago, I decided to cut refined wheat and refined sugar completely out of my diet, and for the first time since I had my allergy it’s been 10 days that I did not have a single allergic reaction to anything! I am overwhelmed with joy for finding this out even though it costs me a lot that I have to eat much meat and clean veggies but it’s totally worth it!
Doctors arent much different than repairmen, theres a handful of great ones that know how stuff works and what theyre doing, and the rest are mostly just plugging stuff in to see if it fixes it and onto the next job.
Probably you're sensitive=aka you have an allergy to gluten, which a lot of people don't even realize, and when you quit gluten, you feel better. Also try quitting all commercial meat and dairy products (as they're full of antibiotics that are given to all domestic animals in the US at least to prevent infections and maximize profits), and then you'll cure all your allergies. Your immune system is weak because your intake of diary and meat allowed the antibiotics on these products to destroy your gut microbiome. After I quit all meat and dairy, and switched to fish, not free-range (which is a lie) but farm-raised eggs from small farmers I know, plus eating lots of organic (as much as possible) veggies, my gut microbiome got restored and all my 20+ allergies have disappeared. I've been allergy free for almost 8 years, and before that I suffered with debilitating allergies for 5 years taking vaccines and different meds that didn't work at all. Good luck!
@@Monas99 thank you for your comment It’s been two years and I haven’t had any allergy even though I went back to eating sugar/gluten in moderate amounts. But you’re right, I do feel like that I might be somewhat sensitive to gluten. I just never knew that the antibiotics given to animals ends up messing our gut! I always hear that antibiotics are bad when given to animals but it never registered in my mind until now that it’s because it’ll mess our microbiome.
@@XXxxGOOOFYxxXX your most welcome. The way to test out if you're allergic/ sensitive to gluten, just go on binge on pasta, breads, cookies, and pastry for a couple of days, and if you feel worse, then you' ll get the confirmation. When I eat too much glutten, I experience allergy like symptoms- runny nose and eyes, sneezing, i cant function or focus on work, I feel horrible. Nowadays I only eat pastry, pizza or pasta on occasions- once or twice a month or so. Regarding the antibiotics, yes, they kill both - the good and bad bacteria from your gut, which destroys your immune system which consequently makes you more vulnerable to all kind of health problems and auto immune diseases, most of which are incurable. For me, the taste of steak or cheese from industrialized/ corporate farms are not worth that much risk, I'm happy with wild caught fish and eggs from farm raised chickens from local farmers, plus nuts and seeds for my protein needs. ( I don't buy free- range eggs from grocery stores- that's just BS marketing, there is no such thing). Just look into the "blue zones diet"- it's the best for me! It helped me cure both- all my 20+ allergies and my thyroid problem (both incurable according to my doctors), and I never felt healthier and more energetic as I've been on this diet (no gluten, no sugars, no meat, and no dairy) with the exception of either a slice of pizza, pasta or some pastry once or twice a month.

I think Joe makes his best point around minute 9. Work plays a great part in our health. Working a shit low income job were I was not happy, but had to spend large amounts of time to make a living wage. Now I have a good job with good pay, I spend less time at work, afford a gym membership and can afford to eat a better diet.
I’m on a _mostly_ Keto diet - predominantly fish, meat, eggs, with the exception of vegetables & fruit. I feel way better, i’ve lost significant fat since I started (I also lift a ton though) & I feel I can do this forever.
Can't believe that Joe mentioned Thoreau's famous quote, " Most men live lives of quiet desperation." When I heard that in English class in high school, I related to it so well and have had that as my all time favorite quotes that I've had in my back pocket all these years.
Lost 70lbs in 9 months living a meat, fat and veg LIFESTYLE !!! This is key. This is not a “diet” for me. I never want to go back to the fog and heaviness.
That soreness carbs thing is so real. If I break and have a pizza, literally the next day I’m hobbling from the gym. It’s bizarre I can have some decent quality sourdough with some healthy vegetable soup no problem. But properly falling off and scoffing a pizza …. Disaster
There’s not a lot you can do except bide your time, anyone who comments “nah just eat less of it” clearly have never had an overeating issue... it finally happened for me in my 2nd year of college, after I got off the Freshman meal plan, I was able to cut down to 170
I used to do strict keto and it was great, but just a little annoying. I think the key is to try your best to avoid carbs and definitely sugar, and you'll be better off for it. I find that if I avoid carbs as much as possible, it doesn't matter when I do end up eating carbs.
While i am 100% onboard with keto, i wish people wouldn't be so judgmental and try to be the health police. It's about finding what works for YOUR body and what YOU will stick to consistently. Find a lifestyle that is healthy and sustainable and don't worry about anyone that says their way is better, as long as your way is HEALTHY and working for you and you feel good.
It seems like diet has become almost as controversial as politics and religion. I agree, it's very subjective. What works for you might not work for me.
I find this unsettling for the people who still are obese and continue to eat high calorie diets but don’t use any good amount of that energy. Basically put in enough work to equal the amount of calories you put in.
zParallaxz calories matter of course but it’s not that simple. The type of calories you eat do matter. 500 calories in fat and protein are going to last a lot longer in your body and give you a level amount of energy versus 500 calories of pasta which will give you a spike of energy then a crash when it’s over.
lorridzak I’m not talking about people who actually will learn about the difference between starches and proteins. I’m referring to the average joe or mom who keeps eating highly processed foods and snacks while not burning enough of the calories they consume. I.e soda isn’t good for you, but if your keeping active by moving all day and walking a dog per say, the effects lessen.

I’m 6’2 and in good shape with a 32 inch waist I’m 220. I got all the way up to 312 pounds despite working out 5 days a week and not eating what I thought was a decent diet. I couldn’t lose weight like I could in the past so in my efforts to figure out why I stumbled onto Dr Berg. I went hard full keto with a 21/3 fasting to eating schedule. In 5 months I lost over 100 pounds, after the first 30 days the weight melted off. Apparently I was pre diabetic with insulin resistance. Literally all of my health problems went away, my heart palpitations my swollen joints and joint pain, I slept better had more energy than I knew what to do with as well as a huge increase to my libido. Keto is legit and I feel that sugar is a poison and people eat far far too much.
Dr Berg is an awesome resource. His videos help motivate me.... but the fifty pounds I’ve lost and increased health benefits are for real.
Sugar is like a hard addictive drug. It’s hard to get away from with out a little discipline.
good job man! i did it too and lost 33 lbs in the first month, then i backslid, i need to get onto it again.
Dr berg is Scientologist
Refined sugar is poison. Natural sugars in fruits and berries are perfectly safe.
bro thinks he is flexing by saying he is 6'2 !! lol i am 6'6 so what???
This podcast makes me want to learn more about everything. Always fascinating conversation.
That’s how school should be
Not gonna lie, I have learned more valuable lessons from CZcams than from school the last 4-5 years
First time?
That’s why it’s great 🍻
I used to workout but because of all these different people on the podcasts, I diet and workout.
I stopped eating almost all refined sugars, and went low carb, cut processed foods too and I died.
I didn't die I just didn't want too live anymore
did u try not eating at all and just using an IV drip??
THEY SAY DEATH IS BAD !!!!
Death is the new black.
Rick Flair died and they brought him back to life and he looks pretty good considering
I had a major cerebellar stroke in 2013. Brain surgery, the whole 9 yards. After all this brain trauma, neuro fatigue is a major problem. I can't exercise 'cos I can't walk that far. I wanted to reduce the inflammation in my body so started keto in January 2020. To date (June 2021), my fatigue is way better, my energy levels are much higher, my skin is better. Plus, I happen to have lost 30kgs. I'm the lightest I've been since I was in my 20s. I'm now 63.
God bless you with strength buddy you are A lion !!!!!
Glad youre still with us
The part about coming home from work tired all the time and then having food as a reward really hit home with me. Only for me it’s booze.
It's the habit you need nor the substance. Find an innocuous substance. I used to be addicted to marguerite as. Well I guess technically they're called palomas A paloma is squirt to killa lime juice and salt. But they don't make diet squirt anymore and I didn't want to drink anymore. So now I mix fresca which is sugar free lime juice and salt no tequila no sugar. I have one every night when I get home it's awesome. I also have a bone broth with it. That is my nightly ritual I don't miss the sugar I don't miss the booze because I've got this I've got another substance that's virtually calorie free.

I’m not condoning nor supporting the use of weed, but after a long day of work, and working out, smoking always loosens me up. Wether it be giving me tolerance for pain sensation, sleep, testosterone. Hell , i think it helped me with appetite, there’s so many shady substances out there that’s just a fat sloppy mess, substances that can put your entire way of life to shit, but weed is helpful in it’s own merit. Not saying it’s beneficial, some drugs aren’t for everyone.
16/8 fasting has helped me go from 434 lbs to 371lbs since august 1st. its working for me and i know its a life style that i will continue for life.. under 300 by the 4th of july is the goal.
utewbing, the problem with that is exercise greatly increases appetite and is not the answer for people struggling with cravings, weight loss etc.
@Carlos T, you keep doing what you’re doing man! Start to push towards 18/6 and then 20/4 or one meal a day and only think about adding exercise when you have absolutely killed your addiction to carbs or you’re approaching your ideal weight 💪🏼
I've begun to go for walk/runs with my dog and also incline walks on my treadmill. I just did a 30 hour fast yesterday and dinner is usually chicken breast or some other protein. Thanks for the motivation guys
How tf you get to 400 pounds
Also good work🔥
Get it bro!!

It has taken me 4 years to find this podcast and to see that I came to the same conclusion all by myself. Always tired after lunch, aching joints ect. My body told me to stop various carb intakes and I feel so much better. No bread, no sugar, no pasta. Refined carbs, grain based foods. Quite remarkable...
I went on keto lost 2 and half stone,
Got better focus (massively decreases ADHD symptoms)
And cured back pain
Fatty liver
And IBS entirely gone which I was on medication.
Keto diet is ace ,
I recently stopped eating carbs like bread and pasta - and I'm a pasta maniac so I was really eating lot of that stuff. I'm 2 weeks in and already I'm feeling a lot better and my damn belly isn't so bloated. Still big - but I'm seeing progress. Also I'm not so tired and sleepy all the time.
What is the name of the documentary that they are talking about?
I weigh 185lbs @ 6ft, and that is gym weight. 6 days a week 2 1/2 hrs in the gym. I eat what I want. Your way of living sounds pretty damn Boring/Bland.
As soon as I focused on cutting out processed foods and sugar my health changed dramatically and fast. I eat as much natural foods as I possibly can! I now even enjoy growing a lot of vegetables.
most processed foods have ingredients that help sustain shelf life, that is where the problem comes in. Thats why natural foods will age quickly vs food that was processed.
Look at the ingredients then anything else..
if i still eat a lot of carbs but they come from healthy sources like dates, fruit, oats and potatoes will i still have the benefits?
I’ve been doing the same and I’ve noticed my energy has been at a constant rate no dips through the day. I’m rarely ever ill too

I'm happy for you. What are some foods that you regularly eat on keto? I'm trying to create a list of foods that I could just stick to. Preferably foods that already have a lot of fat in them.
@@munen343 And of course he never replies...
@@munen343 Bacon and eggs are going to be your best friends. A ton of fatty meat, salmon, chicken (not a lot tho, you don't want to eat too much protein), and a TON of green, non starchy veggies. Broccoli, cauliflower, zuchinni, spinach and avocado are good keto-friendly veggies. Remember to always track your macros tho, that's the most important part.
Good job! I'm proud of you for taking your health into your own hands
Pleaseeeeeee eat poly and mono UNsaturated fats. Eating keto with lots of saturated fats WILL cause fat deposits within your arteries and cause heart attacks or strokes

@@shauncollins678 yeah i never had respect for keto.
Intermittent fasting while eating a healthy diet and growing muscle mass is a powerful tool toward good health
@@MAN9027 Agreed, from what I've seen people that lose weight end up gaining it all back and then some, probably because they never really learned how to use diet and exercise properly.
Went from 290 to 180 in about 13 months, by not eating sugars and carbs anymore, also almost cured my psoriasis! Sure beats what the dermatologist suggested.
When I cut my carbs out my psoriasis is so much better, but when I compete for wrestling I try to eat a few carbs to keep my energy levels up for all of my training, eat a few carbs for my first meal out of fast and it helps a ton with my energy through my workouts
Jake Green wrestling is fucking gay
I mean, I've done my research, and done my sport at both attempts, and adding like 20 carbs a day (if I have practice that day) allows me to maintain ketosis and I don't die when I do hard drilling practices or live practices
What did they suggest?
I have paoraisis and psoraitic arthritis and yes keto helps alot
Carbs and sugar are the number one cause of depression. I know from experience. Sugar is worse drug in the world.
Complex carbs are totally fine. The probably is refined carbs and too much sugar
Complex carbs are not very good for you.
100%
As soon as I started keto, even before I lost much weight, I noticed that I didn't need the afternoon naps and the overall feeling of well-being is simply amazing.

Obviously Phafanapolis, you know nothing about good food and can not appreciate what it means to “growing up Italian” in America. The pasta, in its many shapes and forms and often hand made, is a treat when sauced with authentic, fresh garden tomato’s with spices and herbs, hours on the stove top...home made with love... and the best part, Sunday Dinner where the family and often friends would gather for a great meal and conversation. It was really like a celebration, every Sunday Dinner.

You can do it step by step
Same but I keep getting confused about what to eat 😭
@@snoozyq9576 just cut out breads refined carbs and sugars as much as possible start small and work your way up
Best thing to do is finding the best meal plan for the day and repeating it over and over to start. Find something that gives what you need nutritionally and energy wise and eat that every day. So start with finding a good breakfast, lunch, and dinner that satisfies your cravings, gives you your necessary nutrients (which you can also find pills and supplements for). Track if it's giving you the recommended amount of minerals such as iron, potassium, calcium, etc and eat that everyday. Then add another meal plan after you get sick of that. And now you have two days worth of meals you can prepare and alternate every other day. Slowly add more and more until you finally have a whole week planned out and written down. Then life gets easy. It comes down to restocking the ingredients needed and fucking cooking it. Once you have done this it really helps you stay on course and away from donuts, bread, and other foods that are bad for you. Get your shit together
No you don't. Does Joe sound happy to you? No, he freaks out about food. Fuck that. Live like a Rockstar...
No famous/well respected artist ever had a strict diet.
We dig our graves with our teeth.
The modern American diet right now: high carbs, high fat,over-sized portions. You eat and drink sugar like there's no tomorrow.
High carbs and sugar are meant to be treats, eaten for a event or holiday, yet we live off of it. We should be living off of food you could find in nature, not super processed
I have a fatty liver now because of years abusing cookies, chocolates and shit, i'm very fit, i surf, skate, workout, but i feel totally what Joe said, when i'm eating clean, my body is a machine and when i eat junk, i feel hangover, sleepy with joints aching.
These scumbag food companies want you to continue believing sugar is at least a sometimes food. It isn’t. It’s literal poison and is the reason most people are in hospital.

Thanks to Joe and some of his guests (shout out to Dom), I've been doing Keto for 4 months. I started at 302, and I'm down to 245 (I'm 6'4"). My exercise has increased by just a little amount, so it's almost diet alone that has me down 57 pounds. I'll do the keto diet the rest of my life. I understand how bad processed sugar/flour is now. Never again will I be the slob that I was.
Most of what you lose is water, not fat
I tried Atkins several times several years ago (basically re branded as Keto of late), with some success and no side effects until the last time. I was in hard core ketosis for several weeks, not hungry and tons of energy, until my heart starting doing something weird, beating really hard and slow to the point where it kept me up at night. Once I went out of ketosis, it went back to normal. Tried again thinking it wasn’t ketosis, weird heart beat came back and I thought this can’t be good so I haven’t gotten back into it since. I think the idea of keto is good, but I just can’t handle being in ketosis anymore which is a bummer.
@unknown it’s normal, Keto is only for super obese ppl, if u just wanna lose some weight to look shredded, just carve out a caloric deficit and go do lifting/cardio 😂. Ur brain needs a looong time to switch from carb to no carb diet for it being able to function normally
@Lori Alexander electrolyte imbalance
Everything joe said at the end is true. I was depressed and in a shitty relationship and really didn’t get much sleep so I ate alot of crappy food in between the times I should’ve been asleep. And then you wake up do it all over sleeping in late eating carby meals. I went from 280 to 210
So hard for people to understand how long you can go without food when we aren't putting carbs and sugar in our pie hole. Went carnivore 4 months ago at 52 and never had so much consistent energy on demand. Still in weight loss mode but plan to try to vary the diet a little more once I reach my fighting weight, wherever that winds up just eating OMAD and eating to satiety.
Joe: We need good science to determine how we should be eating.
Also Joe: I heard of this one guy....
How can we get you on the podcast? I respect you both, but Joe is half-informed on diet. (And too sensitive when it comes to vegans.)
There's nothing wrong with anecdotal evidence in addition to more rigorously gathered scientific evidence. You can be scientific and still discuss anecdotes and case studies. There isn't a scientific study on literally everything accounting for every possible variable, and things vary from person to person. It makes sense to take anecdotal evidence into account where documented experimentation may be lacking.
3 dudes jacked on roids talking about health lmao
He’s just referring to personal anecdotes
Ahh, they said they were on steroids?
Joe, up until a few months ago I thought you were just some crazy ass drugged out comedian who just made me laugh but I never really took you seriously. After really following your podcasts you have opened my eyes to so many new topics and I have began a lifestyle change to balance my nutritional intake. I could never get on board with diets because the information was never presented in a way that I could relate to. You’re ideas and topics are so relatable and intuitive because you break down the science of nutrition into an understandable language. Keep it up man thanks for sharing everything!

My GF’s doctor AND endocrinologist can’t give her a straight answer about her recently diagnosed “sub-clinical hypothyroidism”.
Nor will they refer her to a dietitian or nutritionist to help with dietary needs.
She has gained 30 pounds in the past two years, despite working out six days a week and watching her portion sizes.
She’s been put on various thyroid meds, and no drug or dosage helps with her fatigue, continuous weight gain and hair thinning.
She was looking into trying out the ketogenic diet, because she’s also insulin-resistant having an under active thyroid, and keto helps with people who have that issue, by lowering or eliminating the intake of bad refined carbs (anything from a packet or a box).
But then she heard that keto can put further strain on the thyroid and cause a whole host of other issues in the body. She also read that exercise can stress a hypothyroid body, further exacerbating symptoms.
Since she cannot get an answer on the optimal diet or exercise for her condition. Back to square one, and she feels helpless. I’m not a doctor, but I wish I were. I can only google so much with her until it becomes a fucking abyss of marketing ads and money-making fads. This is frustrating.
*Any helpful suggestions out there?*
Look up snake diet on youtube
I also have hashimoto's and PCOS. Also rosacea has recently developed, which is supposed to be hormonal. I recommend her check out www.reddit.com/r/hashimotos if she hasn't already. At least it helps you feel not so alone. Also extended fasting has helped me lose weight during quarantine. Cutting out all sugar and carbs except for 90% dark chocolate and fruit / veg seems to help. Unfortunately we can't just eat less and exercise. It's a whole lifestyle adjustment. I don't know if I'll be able to keep this up when I go back to work but for now it's working. Good luck, hope she finds something that helps

Weight loss on a particular diet does not show the quality of said diet

I quit the carbs and sugar and soft drinks. Went from 230lbs to 180lbs. Feel great.
"Wendy's drive through... come on baby!!" 😂
I've tried a lot of different diets to find what works for me. The fun thing about the diets for me is that I always learn about new ingredients and learn new recipes. Low carb had the biggest impact on my overall well being but was culinarily too restrictive. But reducing carbs and eating whole grains, beans, lentils, lots of vegetables and meats is the sweet spot. But there is no "one size fits all" diet. Try things out and learn about what works for you. And don't shove it down other people's throats! 😊
Joe Rogan is probably the most complete man. Not trying to stroke anyone's ego, but c'mon. Articulate, intelligent, great shape, successful, friendly but also not a pussy haha. Mad respect 💯
but he doesn't eat carbs...
Marry him then 😂
Can’t say I’ve ever crushed on Joe Rogan lol interesting podcasts though.
“Friendly but also not a pussy”
Doesn’t seem like an accurate set of mutually exclusive attributes.
@@rossedwardmillerI can just sense the insecurity pouring out of you when you were writing that statement.
The lunch carb KO is very true. I switched to a salad protein lunch and don't feel sluggish at all.
I had an allergy for two years, doctor said 70% of allergy have no cure. I was taking antihistamines every two days and the antihistamines would knock me out that I had to sleep 12+ hours. It was messing up my work and sleep. I went on a vegetarian diet for 8 months and a vegan diet for a month and it helped a little bit (only had to take meds once every 4 days). 10 days ago, I decided to cut refined wheat and refined sugar completely out of my diet, and for the first time since I had my allergy it’s been 10 days that I did not have a single allergic reaction to anything! I am overwhelmed with joy for finding this out even though it costs me a lot that I have to eat much meat and clean veggies but it’s totally worth it!
Doctors arent much different than repairmen, theres a handful of great ones that know how stuff works and what theyre doing, and the rest are mostly just plugging stuff in to see if it fixes it and onto the next job.
Probably you're sensitive=aka you have an allergy to gluten, which a lot of people don't even realize, and when you quit gluten, you feel better. Also try quitting all commercial meat and dairy products (as they're full of antibiotics that are given to all domestic animals in the US at least to prevent infections and maximize profits), and then you'll cure all your allergies. Your immune system is weak because your intake of diary and meat allowed the antibiotics on these products to destroy your gut microbiome. After I quit all meat and dairy, and switched to fish, not free-range (which is a lie) but farm-raised eggs from small farmers I know, plus eating lots of organic (as much as possible) veggies, my gut microbiome got restored and all my 20+ allergies have disappeared. I've been allergy free for almost 8 years, and before that I suffered with debilitating allergies for 5 years taking vaccines and different meds that didn't work at all. Good luck!
@@Monas99 thank you for your comment It’s been two years and I haven’t had any allergy even though I went back to eating sugar/gluten in moderate amounts. But you’re right, I do feel like that I might be somewhat sensitive to gluten. I just never knew that the antibiotics given to animals ends up messing our gut! I always hear that antibiotics are bad when given to animals but it never registered in my mind until now that it’s because it’ll mess our microbiome.
@@XXxxGOOOFYxxXX your most welcome. The way to test out if you're allergic/ sensitive to gluten, just go on binge on pasta, breads, cookies, and pastry for a couple of days, and if you feel worse, then you' ll get the confirmation. When I eat too much glutten, I experience allergy like symptoms- runny nose and eyes, sneezing, i cant function or focus on work, I feel horrible. Nowadays I only eat pastry, pizza or pasta on occasions- once or twice a month or so. Regarding the antibiotics, yes, they kill both - the good and bad bacteria from your gut, which destroys your immune system which consequently makes you more vulnerable to all kind of health problems and auto immune diseases, most of which are incurable. For me, the taste of steak or cheese from industrialized/ corporate farms are not worth that much risk, I'm happy with wild caught fish and eggs from farm raised chickens from local farmers, plus nuts and seeds for my protein needs. ( I don't buy free- range eggs from grocery stores- that's just BS marketing, there is no such thing). Just look into the "blue zones diet"- it's the best for me! It helped me cure both- all my 20+ allergies and my thyroid problem (both incurable according to my doctors), and I never felt healthier and more energetic as I've been on this diet (no gluten, no sugars, no meat, and no dairy) with the exception of either a slice of pizza, pasta or some pastry once or twice a month.
Been on Keto for almost 2 weeks this is a real motivator
How’s your progress? Hope you’re doing well!
Im doing it too ..... I feel already so much better
I had low blood sugar issues and they were fixed after I started Keto
I feel absolutely better since starting keto almost three months ago.

Yep, he’s still smokin so his lungs aren’t in peak shape. His choice though.
@@JohnR32111 pffffhahahaha do you know how much you have to smoke to feel like that? I don't think he smokes as nearly as what it takes, plus if you use a vape the problem disappears
I don't smoke regularly but I always cough due it
@@jakemorrison8507 Maybe you never excersise or you have some lung problem that smoking increases, because I smoke sometimes and never had cough
I think Joe makes his best point around minute 9. Work plays a great part in our health. Working a shit low income job were I was not happy, but had to spend large amounts of time to make a living wage. Now I have a good job with good pay, I spend less time at work, afford a gym membership and can afford to eat a better diet.
Cortisol (stress hormone) released in excess, ages the brain and skin. Hydration levels can also effect cortisol release.
Love this talk. Whole thing very well put
I’m on a _mostly_ Keto diet - predominantly fish, meat, eggs, with the exception of vegetables & fruit.
I feel way better, i’ve lost significant fat since I started (I also lift a ton though) & I feel I can do this forever.
Is Joe under the impression that everyone takes an afternoon nap?
Maybe just wants an afternoon nap
In Italy we do.. hahahahaha

Can't believe that Joe mentioned Thoreau's famous quote, " Most men live lives of quiet desperation." When I heard that in English class in high school, I related to it so well and have had that as my all time favorite quotes that I've had in my back pocket all these years.
When I eat good carbs and meat I expel enormous farts . It's amazing

Lost 70lbs in 9 months living a meat, fat and veg LIFESTYLE !!! This is key. This is not a “diet” for me. I never want to go back to the fog and heaviness.
That soreness carbs thing is so real. If I break and have a pizza, literally the next day I’m hobbling from the gym. It’s bizarre
I can have some decent quality sourdough with some healthy vegetable soup no problem. But properly falling off and scoffing a pizza …. Disaster
Definitely hard to control what to eat especially when you’re younger living with your parents early highschool.
@Tricks Are for pimps frr because you dont have shit else to eat unless the buy it for you
Tricks Are for pimps so common. Were you and your family overweight? It’s also common to shame the one family member who tries to make an effort.
There’s not a lot you can do except bide your time, anyone who comments “nah just eat less of it” clearly have never had an overeating issue... it finally happened for me in my 2nd year of college, after I got off the Freshman meal plan, I was able to cut down to 170

I used to do strict keto and it was great, but just a little annoying. I think the key is to try your best to avoid carbs and definitely sugar, and you'll be better off for it. I find that if I avoid carbs as much as possible, it doesn't matter when I do end up eating carbs.
Really informative podcast
Went Keto lost 25 pounds in 3 weeks✊🏾
Damn good stuff 💯
Keep going on
John Manigold that doesn't seem sustainable. > 7 lbs per week? Take your time losing weight, no need to rush..
Anything is possible on the internet I guess..
keep heatlthy
While i am 100% onboard with keto, i wish people wouldn't be so judgmental and try to be the health police. It's about finding what works for YOUR body and what YOU will stick to consistently. Find a lifestyle that is healthy and sustainable and don't worry about anyone that says their way is better, as long as your way is HEALTHY and working for you and you feel good.
It seems like diet has become almost as controversial as politics and religion. I agree, it's very subjective. What works for you might not work for me.
I find this unsettling for the people who still are obese and continue to eat high calorie diets but don’t use any good amount of that energy. Basically put in enough work to equal the amount of calories you put in.
zParallaxz calories matter of course but it’s not that simple. The type of calories you eat do matter. 500 calories in fat and protein are going to last a lot longer in your body and give you a level amount of energy versus 500 calories of pasta which will give you a spike of energy then a crash when it’s over.
lorridzak I’m not talking about people who actually will learn about the difference between starches and proteins. I’m referring to the average joe or mom who keeps eating highly processed foods and snacks while not burning enough of the calories they consume. I.e soda isn’t good for you, but if your keeping active by moving all day and walking a dog per say, the effects lessen.
Simple right!
Fricken posers!
Veggies with proteins is the way to go buds

I’m a type 2 diabetic. I stopped eating refined carbs and only focus on Whole Foods and I don’t even need my insulin anymore. I don’t have any sugar cravings. My a1c went to 5.5 and I lost 20 lbs in less than a month. I also walk 10,000 steps a day. We need to just stop eating processed foods. And eat real Whole Foods
Started at 23.6 stone in november 2018, I'm now at 18.6 st and feeling better than ever. Tried everything, vegan, veggie, pesca etc etc name it I've done it. Keto has changed my life
Sugar has always been like a crack addiction for me. I get such a hit of dopamine from it, I'm addicted.
Thats why sugar is known as the crack cocaine of the food industry
I know I can't go without bread I'm addicted to it, I can cut sugars and other bad carbs but feel defeated because of the bread thing.
Just the other day I worked out on an empty stomach，5 hours after waking up，I felt great. I was still energetic then I ate burritos and I almost fell asleep an hour later.
