Im in week 12 I think and Ive noticed more than 50% reduction in my panniculus. Im pretty sure its due to the IF.
Why Lie 👍🏼!
Why Lie what the blank is panniculus
fat under belly button... easy to find on a search
good to know... I have one ekkkk
Okay, I did a search for this and then "Images", and what I saw was terrifying. Some of these people have no choice but plastic surgery.
My Brother in Law is a renowned plastic surgeon and fixing loose skin due to weight loss is a large part of his business. When I asked him about this he said that in the majority of case the people could and would lose the loose skin naturally if they followed a fasting regime as it forces the body to consume spare tissue and loose skin is something the body is happy to cannibalise - it will always do so before taking tissue from muscle and organs. Spare skin is on your body's menu is you give it no choice.
Hello... Did your bro-in-law say what type of fasting works well for this purpose (loose skin), in his opinion? Intermittent (daily), 2-3-4-7 day fasting...?
To:@@ronc4146 16 - 8 works as a good fast. 7 days per week. You may have to start at 12 - 12 if you have never fasted before. Then 18 - 6 to stretch the fast a bit more.

It's like pork rinds
WOW! Thank you for sharing this information.
People like him who share information just for the good of other people and not wanting to make a buck are the unsung heroes.
I lost 110lbs over the course of 2 years, if I laid on my side my skin would flop and lay on the bed beside me. 3 years of time restricted eating and occasional 40-70 hour fasts and my excess skin has disappeared without any further weight loss.
Can you give some more info on how many times you fasted and how long ? Thanks
Amazing . Thanks for sharing.
That's brilliant 👏 😀
Wow, amazing! Can’t be more satisfying to hear and for you to experience!
@jdw5889. What was your restricted eating schedule? And were you strictly low carb or keto?
2. Every cell that makes up skin is replaced every 3 months.
3. Your skin is made of what you eat.
4. Autophagy. Your body will eat itself. 16-18 hours of fasting it goes into autophagy, fat from skin will make it digest. Your body is capable or recycling that loose skin.
5. Autophagy increases the longer you fast.
6. Your body will start breaking down tissue it does not need.
7. 1% improvement every 3 months.
8. Microneedling, keto, Intermittently Fasting, May improve results every 2-3% every 3 months.

8) He said 2-3% every MONTH.

I lost a little over 120 lbs and have serious flappy arms. I’ve been keto about 15 weeks after years of paleo and then primal. I’ve been doing 16:8 IF for 4 weeks. My arms have already shrunk by 2” and are much tighter. I have been lifting weights, using kettlebells, and doing bodyweight HIIT for a year, and I can finally see my muscles as the flab improves. Even my friends have noticed the improvement.
PS - I am a 50 year old woman if that gives hope to anyone.
lonesumtee It does! Thank you! I will keep working at it.
It surely does. Thank you so much😊
Thank you! You are an inspiration! I appreciate your comment very much!
Thank you for sharing! Congratulations!
i'm 57 and need to do this asap i feel awful since gaining about 45 pounds, but i have lost 13 in the last month and a half and hope to keep doing better, i have not started kept or anything, i son't really eat whites, i do a lot of vegetables and meat maybe 3/4 ounces. i am a diabetic as well.
I’m currently down 20 lbs since the start of 2024 and I’m not even going to lie, my mindset has been “ I can’t wait to lose this weight so I can indulge in the foods I like once in awhile without feeling guilty. This video has COMPLETELY changed that mindset. There’s no point in looking back on my old lifestyle, thank you for this video it’s inspiring and motivating to say the least
The more you eat tasty food, the harder it is to eat healthy. Just don’t do it. Don’t even have cheat meals if you find the next day you’re craving it.
My husband lost 250 so far. He has done keto and Intermittent for 2 years, he had a lot of skin after the first 100 he began what equates to running a 15m mile every day.He was 500lbs and we do eat a very clean diet. As soon as he started going to the gym his skin began to retract. He has very little excess now and I have faith continuing the lifestyle will continue his improvement.
HOLY MOLY!!
The exercise makes a lot of sense.
Exercise is a potent stimulator of autophagy, especially protien autophagy, it seems.
You are saving my Life. 77 now and looking forward to my 100th Birthday... Thank you 😊
#1 - 1:15 There are no quick fixes or potions.
#2 - 2:41 Eat good quality nutritious foods.
#3 - 4:15 You are what you eat - Low Carb Keto.
#4 - 5:07 Do regular AUTOPHAGY. Add extended IF windows (ie OMAD or 24-72 hrs).
#5 - 9:31 Micro-Needling, collagen support.
#6 - Patience & Perseverance. Didn't happen overnight, doesn't disappear overnight.
4. micro needling stimulates collagen production
Thank you for that
Dr. Sten Eckberg has a few amazing videos on autophagy it doesn't happen with 20 hrs. Real autophagy happens only after 2 and 3 day fasts. It was tested by him with much science behind it.
I have diabetes and can't fast for a long time I eat two meals a day which is the least that I can eat and still keep my diabetes from hurting me any suggestions?
@@gailbrewer3687 Type 1 or type 2 ?
The answer I've been looking for. I lost weight, saw the sagging skin, and gave up. Regained the weight. Starting over. I will beat it thus time. Thanks!
You go, girl! I know you can do it!! I believe in you!!!
I was effectively called a liar about my weight loss a few years ago, because they couldn't believe I had such elastic skin with no loose bits in my late 40s. Now, several years later, my skin is even better...I have learned more and eat a more ketogenic/intermittent fasting diet than the simple low carb food I started with back then.
My only regret is I didn't have the knowledge in my 20s....
We're all dumb in our 20's...great job on the weight loss!! 👍
Liar 😂😂
I am in my 20s losed 31-32 kg from 99 kg i havenow 67-68 kg. But belly isnt in best shape yet . YeH i sued keto diet too but now i eated normally but i think starting again my keto diet not to lose weight i dont need lose more kg but to change my body to look better even if i gained weight it would be ok if it was muscles and my body looked good
i wish i knew this when i was younger too.
I believe what helps is that there is significantly less muscle loss with this way of eating.
I just wanted to say thank you. I worked so hard to loose weight 55 and four pregnancies. I lost the weight feel so much better but then the skin discouraged me so much I almost gave up. You gave me hope and a renewed motivation. Can’t thank you enough praying you are blessed. ❤
I keep watching Dr. Eric Berg, Thomas Delauer, and Dr. Ken Berry - They should all collab to save this world - The Keto Kings!
Boy Florida have a look at primal edge health too he is excellent as well
Those are my there go-to people as well. Along with Fledge Fitness for all things Intermittent Fasting.
Now what is this Primal Edge Health? I'll have to research him.
Yes my 3 favorite too!! Dr berg is awesome. Love love Thomas and his new keto coffee recipes are awesome..
@@HealthyLiving.7 You will like him, I promise. No BS
I can't get on board with Berg. He seems to promote products and things with his name on it. Its difficult to support that once you know that a keto wol is completely free
I’ve lost 120 lbs over a two year span with intermittent fasting and have minimal dimples but no loose skin so far, I have about 40 lbs left I hope I can have abs when it’s all said and done🤞
Did you do keto as well? I want to do prolong fast I would say I want to start with a 24 hr fast and then move up to 48 hrs later but I don’t know if I’d like to go on keto.
@@abby-cn6xt I usually stuck to a daily fasting routine of a eating window of 6-8 hours so for example I would usually eat between 1-9pm. It worked best for me this way because I’m usually a night owl. I didn’t do a keto diet not for me but what I noticed is staying away from “drinking” your calories that is key! I have more freedom a bit to eat a little less healthy at times to keep me same but then drink water as well
GOOD for you!! 🤗👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@ITSPRIME2 hey im loosing weight and i need some advice
@@shahul8222 I’ll do my best to help
I started listening to you, I feel a light where I only felt depressed before.
I did a 72 hour fast Sun-Wed for 3 weeks in a row and I noticed on the 3rd week my lower tummy was super tight! I couldn’t believe it. Totally true, but it’s definitely a grind 😢
I had to give myself a break after 3 weeks of fasting, but started intermittent back up this year. 30lbs left to cut for 100lb weight loss!
Wow. I do a 72hour fast once every 3 months. That must have been tough. 👏🏻
Well done. What did you eat at the end of your fast?
@@9620kod thanks-I would break my fast with a plain baked sweet potato and avocado. 2 big sources of potassium and easily digestible. Sometimes I would do watermelon too but not right out of the gate.
TMI Bone broth would give me the runs so I would incorporate it later in my refeed
@77cataylor, what did you drink during your fast? Did you take electrolytes? I would like to try this.
@@MarkAndreaLiukkonen I drank 2 things-a large black cold brew every morning and filtered water with infused electrolytes (e.g. smart water, alkaline waters). Day 2 I would take some pink salt if I felt woozy, but mostly just water and the morning cold brew.
Good luck 🍀
I fast a lot for 16+ hours and my loose skin is tightening!!! I. Never knew the correlation thanks so. Much!! I’ve lost 100 pounds and kept it off for 15 years an now my skin is way better
Congratulations! How did you lose all that weight?
Thanks for your post!! This is inspirational to me, as I want to lose my loose skin and not resort to surgery! I am patient and I will give it a try this year!!! :-D
Great news ,,,, same here, 16 and 8. but 20 and 4 is my normal interval
Tell me how y’all kept it off 😂I’ve been doing it for few months and bout to my goal now don’t know how to maintain
So if I fast my loose skin will tighten? Cuz I originally fast when Ramadan starts so can it help??
I’ve been following your advice for three months Dr Berry. I am almost at 40 pounds weight loss. No loose skin. GOD BLESS YOU SIR!
Can you tell more about what you did to avoid loose skin? Congrats!!!
Please share how you handled keeping your skin tight?
Dr berry just covered this at 8.25
Losing 40 lbs doesn’t usually bring in loose skin. It’s the people that have large amounts of weight to lose and lose it quickly that result in that issue.
What type of diet did you do CD? Keto? Lowcarb?
Due to Type 2 Diabetes, etc... I have been doing Keto/IF since June of 2023. I cycle between 18:6 and 23:1. I have lost 50lbs, no lose skin (I'm almost 50 yrs old and menopausal, just in case some of you say, maybe because I'm young). Let autophagy do it's thing, fasting works.
So you were able to fast being a type II? That's the part that concerns me. The longer I don't eat, the higher my sugars go, so I'm not quite sure how to fast without it affecting my blood sugar.
Every once in a while in life you come across someone who knows his sh't, my hats off to you sir.
but what he is saying is not true.
@@diamondluv1009 Says the clueless
@@diamondluv1009 what is on your C.V.? Seriously what are your credentials?
I hope this comment helps to encourage others in my position. I'm in my early 60's, and I'm currently intermittent fasting, working out, and properly nourishing my body, and have been for the past two months. I've already lost 25 lbs. My point is that because of my age, I was terrified of ending up looking like I was permanently wearing skin that looked like cheap drapery. Agh... I desparately wanted to believe that the autophagy would also digest the loose skin, but I was unsure. This video reminded me of something I experience a week ago: I noticed the skin on the back of my hands looks more youthful. I also have a deep wrinkle between my eyebrows. Running my finger over it now, it seems to be much more shallow; as if it's disappearing. Putting it all together, I realized I don't have anything to be afraid of at all! Thank you so much for helping to put my fear to rest, as that fear was psychologically hindering my weight loss.
One more thing! I had a few tiny skin tags on my neck. They seem to be disappearing, too. :)
Thank you Cymbelin, I am exactly the same age as you and have been doing IF etc for the same time and I also like to look after myself and look as good as I can for my age. I too was worried about the skin after loosing 11kg and sure enough, its very dry, even though I bathe in coconut oil in my bath and slather oils over my arms and neck and face every day, sometimes twice a day.. I too have that wrinkle between my eyebrows and I think that is getting less too. BUT, my arms are still soooo dry and also upper arms are very floppy and wrinkly looking , especially when I bend over and down and look at them, yikes, very puckered and wrinkly. I will continue with the wonderful fasting though and slathering my oils and remain positive that it will slowly improve over time
@@claireallsopp8701 I hear you, Claire! Thanks for the reply. I'm well aware that I'll never be twenty again, and my bikinis will never again see the light of day, but I am pleased with the improvements I've seen, that quelled my fears about weight-loss. I strength train, and I think that works in conjunction with IF. It's as if the more the muscle beneath the skin is toned, the more it improves the skin tone, (I theorize.) Congrats on dropping 11kg! More power to you! I'll give away one of my secrets, too. For my face, I buy an unscented lotion, (120 ml/4 oz.) and then add some good quality essential oils. I add 15 drops of Frankincense; 15 drops of Grapefruit, and 10 drops of Lavender. I'll never buy an expensive moisturizer again! All the best to you. :)
@@Cymbelin oh wow....I too make my own moisturiser...out of beef tallow which I render myself. I LOVE frankincense essential oil and rose geranium so that's my combo. So I might make a huge tub so my arms can benefit as well as my face. Nice and cheap and very effective for a face moisturiser.
Thanks for your reply....have a brilliant day 💜
@@claireallsopp8701 Lovely. :)
Great advise 👍.
I've been on keto for 3 months. I've lost 30 pounds and I've been doing the fasting. I'm 59 and the lines on my face have decreased considerably. I can testify to what you said is true. Even the loose skin under the chin has decreased.
Thank you for sharing!!! I’m praying I lose my turkey neck. 😇🙏 I’ve lost 28 lbs and have 50 to go but my problem is when I lay down to sleep my throat feels a little restricted. I’m assuming it’s the excess weight. IDK. It feels uncomfortable. UGH!!! Congrats to you!!! Keep up the great work!!!
This is exactly what brought me to this video. Thanks for the info.
@@Nurturing2I hope you get checked by a doctor for your throat😮
It's true. I'm losing weight with keto/IF and my body is slowly toning itself while I lose weight. I thought keto and intermittent fasting would be hard but I love it! Yes, I fall off tge wagon sometimes but I don't give up!
I lost 225 pounds and priced the Surgery , I bought a New Harley Davidson instead
Awesome choice ❤
I'm in month 10 of ketosis, 112 lbs gone

@@jimhurst82 , it's naturally tightening up allot but yes the loose skin is there
@@miss-db6040 thanks!
Me too! Loose skin not bad better monthly but I’ve done 16-18 fasting since day one then after few months do 23-24 hrs snacks only 1 to zero carbs in a 3 hr dinner time. Most days eat once a day. It’s been easy! I do feel fasting helped❤️👍 I use coconut oil tiny amt heavy cream in my coffee during my fast I checked my sugar and ketones never spikes ( Splenda) doesn’t spike me either I’m not insulin resistant and you must check not everybody reacts the same. I do not do diet sodas while fasting that throws me out of fasting. Hope that helps! ❤️👍I’ve never felt better tons of energy. Size 22 down to size 6 and 8!! In 10 mo. People keep thinking I’m working out on weights etc. no I walk 1 hr a day 6-7 days a week in nature only. You can do this 👍

@@davepitzoSWM I was doing water only. But now I am doing water and salt, it's much easier with the same results.
@@JamesWillis-yy5pxthank you James
@@JamesWillis-yy5px why is water and salt easier?
@@NiceLoki Without salt your body gets low on sodium. This makes you fell bad, dehydrated. You will struggle to last more than 5 days without salt.
Always use salt with water fasts.
I started keto about a year ago, and I started losing weight right away. Then I recently jumped over to the carnivore and started intermittent fasting, things became so much easier. I can't believe it's just crazy, I don't even want to eat OMAD at times. I went from 316 pounds down into my 240. I know I would be a lot further along if I had applied intermittent fasting sooner. After much ridicule from most of my family members, they too now have gotten on the bandwagon. My wife has lost 30 lb, my sister's lost 40 lb. lol just good stuff. Thanks for all your time and work that you invest in getting this information out there Dr. Berry. I greatly appreciate you. God bless.
I was so worried about the loose skin. I've done IF 18-6 for about a 3 weeks now. I've lost 15lb already.
It's such a relief to know that I can continue with what I'm doing to reduce my loose skin!

I absolutely LOVE your videos. I’m a RN and could not agree more with your research and approach you take with your information. Kudos for being HONEST and not selling a false/fake bill of sale!! Thank you!! Wish you were closer, I’d certainly come to you as my physician!!
Amen Angela. My family physician and cardiologist are old school. Wish I could find a doctor here versed on fasting and keto to help guide those of us who wish to pursue that instead of plant-based eating and taking statins.
I was really thin 3 years ago and in three years, gained another me 😔. Started keto on the 1st of 2020 and looking forward to a better healthier me.
Can you update and let us know how it's going for you? I hope you're doing well.
I wish you success!
Hope it's going well
Wishing you great success 👏🤗🌹
How is it going so far?
Absolutely fantastic to hear. At 57 I was rather concerned that my weight loss was going to leave me with a terrible looking frame. However the 65 lbs I have lost so far have been completely through intermittent fasting and Keto/low carb. Great to hear I am on the right path, thanks so much.
How did your skin hold up? That’s about the same for me … it’s wild
Only 7 minutes in and this is some of the best, realest advice I heard on here
Thank you!!! This is exactly the information I've been looking for for months. All I keep hearing is "there's nothing you can do about it" and it's extremely discouraging to think that by getting healthier and losing weight, you end up with a body that makes you feel ugly. This gives me hope.
Another excellent video Dr. Ken! Thank you! Also, thanks for confirmation on creams and wraps.
Hi..
I haven't actually lost all my weight yet, but I am trying to take counter measures to avoid the loose skin. I'm currently 6'1" 306lbs, down from 327. I like intermittent fasting, so I'm glad the solution is a simple one.
How are you doing now? Have you lost more weight? Do you have much loose skin?
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video. I have been scared of losing weight, and having a huge flap of skin that I'll need to tuck into my pants along with my shirt. The thought of that has terrified me so much that I've convinced myself I'd rather be fat. This video has given me a much brighter view of weight loss journey. I'm so glad I discovered your videos.
Yep! I've lost 190 pounds, the first 80 pounds fell off just short of 4 months. I've been keto with intermittent and a few longer extended fasts thrown in for almost 3 years. Quality food is a huge factor!
My skin is better than it's ever been. I'm mid 40's and had been morbidly obese for decades. By all accounts, I should have draping layers of skin.
Linda Justus Hi Linda I was just wondering after this amount of time you still have loose skin your statement on Dr. Barry says that you understand what he was saying
I simply cannot imagine how a person can lose 80 lbs in 8 months let alone 4 months! What did you eat?
I must be the slowest loser.
I'm 42 I weight 276 pounds, please tell me what you do in a full day.
Or what to eat and when.
I work overnight and I have 4 boys is very hard to have an schedule or to sleep more than 4 or 5 hours a day...
I saw you have successfully lose weight and have positive results with your skin.. please some advice will be greatly appreciated
@@lauramejia757 Hi! I'm a newbie at this, so I hope my advice is good.
I started 11March and I have lost 17lbs so far. Blood glucose down 16 pts! Joint pain all gone! I can hardly believe it.
My advice: Listen to the vids on Keto. Read up on it on the internet. Buy a good book on the topic. This way you'll be armed with lots of info about what to eat, what to avoid, when to eat, etc. More info is better. Get it from a variety of sources.
The short summary is cut carbs and load up on fresh, organic (if possible) non starchy vegetables, moderate consumption of organic meats & fish, and lots of fats (with a tendency to make the majority healthy fats). The fats will cut your appetite, as will the reduction in carbs.
Once you understand the part about macros, itll help you design your food plan. I use the MyFitnessPal app to track carbs, protein and fat and their distribution in my meals. Also calories, secondarily. It costs me $50 per year, but I use it every day. Its work, but it's worth it to me. There may be cheaper/free apps online, I dont know. I started with the free version and then just stayed with it and upgraded.
Once you get the hang of this, you'll like it. You wont be hungry and theres a zillion Keto recipes out there to explore and give breadth to your food selections.
I wish you good luck and good health!
@@lauramejia757 Start keto as soon as you can. Stop eating bad oils and cook with olive oil or coconut oil. Try to sleep as much as you can. High cortisol levels from stress makes you crave carbohydrates and it makes you hungrier. I really recommend intermittent fasting. Start with 16/8. It’s super easy and cheap. Plus it gives you energy that you really need to work and take care of your family. Good luck !
My friend's done intermittent fasting
for decades: never eats after dinner until lunch the next day.
Not much exercise either
but he's healthy and slim,
with gorgeous skin at sixty-five.

I had RNY surgery April 1st ,2021. I have lost 150 so far , I run on an underwater Treadmill, 40 minutes a day five days a week . That’s is 3.8 miles five days a week .

I’m in the process of losing weight right now. I’ve lost 20 pounds so far. I gained weight after having children & my struggle with depression & knee injury. I’ve been intermittent fasting 16 hrs & it’s helping with my weight loss. Yoga & Pilates is also helping with my weight loss. I’m trying to lose weight in the most healthiest way possible & I wanted to address the loose skin. It’s just freaking me out. I saw a plastic surgeon last week & she said a total tummy tuck is what I needed. It would cost $15,000 Going to see her was just an option but I’d rather lose weight & try to battle the loose skin along the way myself. I don’t want surgery. I’m going to focus on the Ketogenic diet too. I’ve stopped all the late night snacking months ago & I don’t miss it. I actually don’t even crave soda or sweets anymore. Wish me luck. Thank you for your video. Very helpful information.
Hey Dr Berry - Big thanks to yourself and your wife for some great videos - I've been on keto for around a month - lost a stack of weight not that I was particularly overweight at all - but the best thing that I've found is just a great feeling of wellbeing and the fact that since I started I've not suffered any migraines which I was previously a martyr to and regularly popping Sumitriptan and not even any headaches which I suffered almost daily. Presumably this is related to the origins of keto in the treatment of epilepsy back in the early days - You'll know the science behind that a lot better than me - I'm a lawyer not a physician lol. Love the presentation from you guys - keep up the great work - can't wait to try the ketoade just as soon as we get hold of some Braggs - Steve - Leeds - UK
just to confirm - basically I'm doing clean keto, intermittent fasting, and nomad.
@@stevekaye565 You mean OMAD?
Wow love to hear this, so glad to hear I’m on the right track for tightening my loose tummy after pregnancy. I’ve been intermittent fasting and working out for 6 months now and I’ve seen a real big difference in my skin.
Can I ask the age of your children. I'm hoping it's not too late after my 10lb 6oz, now 25yr old.
Ive worked out for years and have low body fat but still that skin. I hope this will help but could be too late at 57.🤔
@@kellibodony1077 my daughters 7 I also do dry brushing which produces more collagen
@@carlibostic487 Is dry brushing with a loofah? Sounds interesting especially if produces collagen. Thanks.
@@PR-pe9oc Thank you for your reply. I just ordered my first dry brush from Amazon!
@@glw5166 you are very welcome. ☺️ It’s been quite a while since I dry brushed (I should start, again), but there r proper and improper ways of doing it. There’s lots of info, on CZcams. Make sure to watch some vids, before starting. Best of luck, and take care!!
Thanks Dr. Berry! I have noticed that anyone who really pays attention to their nutrients and water requirements looks healthy and has nice skin. Thanks for sensible advice. I am going to make extra effort to go the 16/8 hour IF while faithfully keeping up with all the good practices I have learned. I noticed I can start to lose track of water, nutrients, exercise, etc., as I get busy or distracted (or discouraged?) and it shows! I also feel the need to dust off my scribbler where I wrote all my goals, and review and refresh them. Kudos to all those who have made this journey to wellness, thanks to people like you who have told us how to do it. God bless your little heart.
This was extremely informative thank you! I’ve just started my weight loss journey but I didn’t want to lose weight just to lose it, I want to change my unhealthy habits to healthy habits and have my weight lose be a bonus of that. This has really made me think about the food I’m putting in my body and just how much that effects every aspect of my body. Thank you for the information and motivation to eat healthier!
What a new viewpoint. You're skin is made of what you ate for the past 3 months. Wow. Invaluable! Thank you, Dr Berry. I love every video of yours I've watched . IM doing IF and healthy keto. If with 36 to 64 hours fast. I'll be sure now to continue organic food and the grass fed meat. And I'll definitely continue IF especially because it will ensure no loose skin. I've lost 40 lbs and haven't more to go. Thanks for explaining how this works. Bless you!
Did it work?
Thanks for this informative video, I’m 64 years old and doing Keto the second time. The first time I lost was about 8 years go. I lost 143 lbs. I had some loose skin but my clothes covered it. This time around I am much better informed and I also have incorporated IF into my routine so I am confident the weight will stay off.
Don't be too quick to make that appointment with the Plastic Surgeon. Eating, and Not Eating, can tighten your loose skin...
KenDBerryMD WOW!
I assume advanced age and length of time overweight must delay skin tightening. Wouldn't it?
Everything you said makes perfect sense, but I have read that Castor oil is supposed to help with tightening loose skin as well. Opinion? Not any money to be made there because it's not proprietary.
KenDBerryMD this makes me sooo happy to hear because i cannot afford to have sugery. And i can tell that my skin is improving and i am firming up. It weight loss on the scale has slowed up but my clothes size and inches is still going down. I needed to see this video!!! Thank God for you and the care and the well being you have and share for your patients and the world. May you be richly blessed for all your efforts!!❤❤❤
I wasn't significantly overweight, but mine was crepey. I'd have been surprised if it wasn't after having 5 children, 3 of them in my late 30s and early 40s, but I was amazed at how it bounced back when I started lifting again :)
I don’t know if any particular thing in this video is new to me, but just put together in a very simple, intelligent way. Such a great perspective.
I don’t even have a loose skin issue, but this would really apply to just about every part of our body.
This was an amazing video. I wasn't aware of this. I have, however lost weight once before eating properly. Kept it off quite some time and had no loose skin issues. I've read recently about people having issues though. Good to know that it should be just like before. Great info. Thank you!!
Thank you for this . After having triplets and twins, poor diet, I’m a hot stretchy mess. I will be doing this.
I applaud you!
You are a super woman! Literally!🤗🤗🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Hot stretchy mess 😂 i can relate to that
Bless you Triplets & Twins. 💞
@@lindaberry7206 much success to you !!!
Yes, especially when you get older... Harder to tone. I'm glad I came across your video. Makes sense.
Did not know this! I get it! I so love that you do not sugar coat anything! Thank you! No BS! I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH! YOU NOT ONLY ARE CHANGING MY LIFE BUT EVERYONE AROUND ME! THANK YOU!
I love your shows DR. Berry!! You have helped me in my fitness and healthy weight goals and I just cannot thank you enough.
My Dad lost well over 100lbs and has no loose skin at all. He followed intermittent fasting and his skin shrank as he did. I always say to him how lucky he is to have no loose skin! I am aiming to loose 2 stone and really worried about loose skin but I am going to follow this and I just ordered my derma roller to help my skin!
31yo, female, POCS, 20/4 and OMAD since April 2018, currently down 4 sizes, almost 5. I was US 18 when I started. I was afraid about having a lot of loose skin, but the more I am close to my goal, the more I see the situation isn't nearly as bas as I thought it would be. I still have to lose weight, but I can already see my legs are quite tight, and the flappy skin on my arms is slowly getting better. Sometimes I also fast for an entire day or two.
Hi, I asked the same question above but maybe you can answer it. If the skin in question has stretch marks, will it still tighten up? I am not assuming you have stretch marks but if you do and would like to answer, I would appreciate it.
Microneedling
@@katjay3125 what is microneedling? I have stretch marks from 3 pregnancies. I have lost 50-60 pounds in the last 12 months. I still have more to lose
Thank you so much for the info. I have lots of loose skin and doing keto plus IF, gonna ramp up the IF time, ask about micro needling, and have some patience. I literally am in the process of checking out plastics surgeons but am going to try this route instead. My goal is to avoid plastic surgery altogether! Thanks again Dr. Berry.💙💙💙☺️
How is your loose skin 2 years later?
My 93YO friend had paper thin skin,bruised easily and you could see all her veins. She kept a good diet of fresh foods but limited her red meat intake. I’m on the carnivore diet, which she knew but still worried about red meat. One day she said she was craving red meat, I said do it. We went to the store and bought ground beef, she’s making meat loaf’s, meatballs and burgers for 6 months. Her skin is getting thicker and more vibrant than before, she’s not bruising like she has in the past. If a 90 YO woman can see results like this in 6 months, don’t worry you will too.
'That's just dumb' one of my favorite Berryisms 🙂😂
LOL. I've always said that.
As a life-long skeptic, I truly appreciate your sensible, no BS advice.
Really like how honest you are. I share your videos with my sister . It has helped her in a lot of ways! Thank you so much!
50 yo male, started 16:8 IF 10 months ago and went from 210 to 175 in a few months and ended up with loose skin in a few spots. Very minor in comparison to some I have seen and this gave me a little hope that this would get better the healthier I get.
Thank you for explaining this concept. I have never seen anyone explain this is such a simple way. Love your videos.
This is the best information I have seen about dealing with loose skin! Thank you for the advice and I will take that advice and run!
Great video Dr. Berry...Thank you so much for your insight🍂
Very encouraging and helpful. You are a skillful teacher! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this. It has given me so much anxiety over the years and why I haven't really been serious about losing weight. I was afraid of the end result. I now have confidence in going forward this year with my weight loss plans. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Thank you!! I need to lose 60 pounds and I was having fears about loose skin but it’s reassuring to know that I can avoid surgeries :)
Thank you for the advice. It fits right in with my understanding of a healthy way to treat our bodies.
Another thing that may help is weight training. This queues the body to hold on to and produce more muscle so skin would be more heavily sacrificed during weight loss. Also the bulk of muscle could produce a "shrink wrap" effect as well. Perhaps increasing the size of your lats and pecs and ab and back muscles might fill out some of the extra area so the skin isn't so loose anymore.
The problem with loose skin is it gets in the way of exercise.
If you had it you would know… it has a life of its own, moves separately, and pulls on skin.
Increased infections, rashes, pain, bleeding and scarring.
@@marlenegold280Sounds like a good reason to lose weight with IF in the first place. Excess weight also gets in the way of exercise. The OP's point is valid. Strength training is important, especially in talking about IF and loose skin. Use exercise bands instead if you can't use machines/weights.
Hi Dr. Berry, I've been doing keto for 3 years and have lost 198 lbs. and I still need to lose 36lbs. I'm 49 years old and have alot of loose skin. I hit a plateau so I started intermittent fasting Jan.4, 2021 and have been loosing 2lbs every week since I started. I've taken my measurements so I truly hope it improves the loose skin dilemma. Thanks for your content. You've been part of my journey. 💞
I had loose skin until I started drinking all of my liquids inside of my feeding window. It tightened up in a few months noticeably.
Finally I’m able to watch one of your videos as soon as it’s been uploaded. Keep up the great work Dr. Berry. Much love from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹☺️🤗🇹🇹
THANK U! HAVE SOME LOOSE SKIN AND WAS LOOKIN 2 AVOID ANY FORM OF SURGERY AND DEFINITELY WILL B TAKIN THIS ADVICE!
No loose skin at all, my skin feels tighter than before at my highest body weight while I was eating the Standard American Diet. Lost about 75 lb on Ketovore, 25 lb more to go for my 6 packs to show up for the first time in my life. I also do intermittent fasting 16/8 and fasting once a month for 2 days. Fasting and autophagy has a lot to do with my result. Furthermore, once I started looking better, I started to go wax my chest and back. This might have ‘’accelerated’’ the process of autophagy through ‘’stressing and micro tearing’’ my old skin and rebuilding ‘’better’’ on a proper human diet. Loose skin was a big concern for me when I started losing the weight without effort other than learning new recipe. Thank you ‘’Neisha love it’’ for the good recipe which helped me tremendously.
I have watched thousands of hours of videos on the ketogenic diet, but I always look forward to your videos with your simple no BS approach. Many people try to convince you to take supplements and eat only grass-fed meats which is out of reach for many low income families.
Thanks
Walmart sells grass fed organic beef for $5.48 lb. where I live. It's $1.60 more for a pound than the processed beef. It's what I feed my family during the week and totally worth the slightly higher expense because it is so much better for you to consume. We have keto pizza on Mondays and Fridays, a breakfast dinner night (organic eggs $3.83 dz, nitrate free bacon $4.89, and keto pancakes), a Mexican wrap night (Organic shells for the kids $2.89 a pack, grass fed meat, and non RBst cheese, organic sour cream $1.98, and lettuce - I just make a taco salad no wraps), a burger and hot dog night (nitrate free hotdogs $1.98 and grass fed beef - no buns for me) and Annie's Organic mac-n-cheese, and on the weekends we do wings, chicken, or pork-chops if I can find hormone free. I drink a small organic coffee with kerrigold butter and coconut oil almost everyday, and avocado for my first meal and generally left overs, and I buy organic bread and organic snacks for my kids lunches. I spend between $130-$160 per week to feed a family of 4 for all meals. I don't make much money because I am in sales on 100% commission and I can go months without pay because I sell extremely large purchases in a flooded market. My husband makes about $55K a year. We struggle, but our food is a must and if you plan properly, it's not as expensive as people think. I do have to go to three different stores to get everything on the list, which is a hassle. It's getting competitive out there, more and more stores offer organic, prices are dropping. Keep searching and you'll find more affordable foods :)
I try to get grass fed when I can but in Canada it is harder to find at a reasonable price. The best thing to do is make sure you are getting your veggies, vitamins, minerals and essential fats like omega 3.
For myself I'm not too concerned as I make enough money but for many there would be too many compromises if everything was grass fed and organic. Eating cheap keto is way better than the cheap carb lifestyle, I like how Dr Ken Berry is realistic and does not try to push a lifestyle that may put people in economic hardship.
I really think the costs balances out. Just think of the cost of a box of cereal. Getting rid of cereal in the morning and giving your family a healthy omelet/egg scramble with bacon that has no added nitrates/nitrites starts their day off better and keeps them full longer. I buy organic eggs from Costco for $5.99 for a 2 dozen carton, that's $3/dozen. Large organic salad mix that would feed a family of 4-6 are less than $4 at Costco and Walmart. Once your body becomes adapted to eating healthier, it takes less food to feel satisfied. I have not noticed any difference in my food dollars because I don't buy the processed junk that keeps you going back for more. Costco also has 3 lbs of the bacon I mentioned for $13. Divide that by 4 and it's $3 and some change for 12 ounces, which is what bacon is packaged as now. I think I may actually spend less because nothing is wasted. Healthy fats are the key to successful IF and ending wastefulness.
my husband and i are both on disability and my son gets a check. together we make about 36k a year. so all organic, grass fed, etc is really not an option for us most of the time. i buy it when i can afford it, its on sale. also, we both have a difficult time spending time prepping and cooking meals, so it has to be as easy as possible. i am glad i eat less with KETO. that has definitely cut down on food costs for me at least, but my guys are not keto. and we live in rural US and prices for food are not low here. even with a a meat processing plant on the north side of town that ships all over the world (angus), meat is still pricey at $5/6 a pound, for ground, more for other cuts and that is just at the grocery store. the butcher is even more!
God Bless You & Yours Carina!! I’m Very Impressed with what you you’ve done with the Challenges you have!!🙌🙏🙌❤️👍👍☺️
I'm tearing up after watching this video and reading the comments. Amazing!
Look at how good you're looking as compared to 2017. What a difference in your skin!
My loose skin is mostly muscle atrophy. Also I love sugar. I became disabled due to early car wreck. Just started to eat right. This is day 6. Your way of thinking is totally new for me. I can fast for 16 hrs a day. It is time to walk. Thanks!
Would love to get an update on how you're doing.
@@masontull8388 Thanks! I survived heart failure and the C19. That was last year. The doctors say I need a lung transplant in 3-6 mths. I am on meds with horrendous side effects. I am a fighter though. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I have faith that the golden age is coming. Heaven on Earth. No more diseases and no more pain.
@@Sugarsmomma wow thank you for sharing.... I will pray for you.. how is your diet change going... have you seen improvement in your overall health?
@@masontull8388 Some days I actually do good then there are the days when I am feeling bad that I eat a huge bowl of ice cream. I am not overweight. I just know that I feel better when I eat good.
@@Sugarsmomma Hang in there Sharlene and try to do the right thing with your food. I hope that all is going well for you.
This makes all kinds of sense to me. It explains so much. I just found Dr Berry about 24 hours ago. He was the answer to my prayers to God for help. Thank you Lord!
He basically saved my life. So glad I found him too.
You've answered so many questions I've had for years and now I feel more confident in pursuing intermittent fasting. Thank you.
I do eat a lot of chicken, and it's one of the best sources of collagen along with eggs. Throughout my weightloss journey over the last year, I've noticed my skin feeling a lot nicer as I've moved away from artificially-made foods. I had no idea that what I was eating was the source of that change. While I expect to have some wrinkles in my belly, my skin has been fairing better than I thought it would. And now I see why. I knew about the autophagy thing, but I had no idea that my mainstay of chicken and eggs were doing that much. Thank you for this. It's always nice to stumble onto something like this!
Again I say your are on the right track I asked for a miracle I got your video.
I like the sincerity behind Dr.Berry's videos.He and Dr.Berg seem to have a genuine desire to help people.
Dr Berg does seem sincere, but I have started to doubt his scientific understanding. He has made some egregiously wrong statements in his videos that anyone with a high school science education would know was wrong. I would take his advice with a grain of salt.
@@KM-pm6qe If I were you, I'd look at his TRACK RECORD. Dr. Berg has been out here for years, and he looks younger and better every year. Does that sound to you like someone who doesn't know what he is talking about? I think *you* don't have any idea what you are talking about.
Thanks Dr Berry. I need so much information during my weight loss on a budget and over 50+.
Following you and Dr. Sten Ekberg has helped me lose 60 in a year and my husband 120 pounds in 2 years. We do ketovore, IF, lifestyle and we both have more loose skin than I like. I do know I didn't get fat overnight and changes won't happen overnight. We do OMAD and I add in a 36 or more waterfast once a month and have done a 96-hour waterfast. Thank you for getting us off statins, and BP meds and taking my hubs from A1C of 6.7 to 5.4, and losing the prediabetes status from his medical records and morbidly obese from both our medical records!! Both our doctors are impressed and my doctor has changed his own eating habits since beating stage 4 colon cancer! Food MATTERS!
Dr Mindy Pelz is great too.
Dr. Berry inspires me to stick to keto, I fell off the keto wagon after loosing 40 lbs the first time but after watching Dr. Berry I am back on that horse and I'm more excited than ever
I started saving money to pay for plastic surgery, after listening to this, I think I will see about improving the quality of my food. Thank you for this information!!
Surgery should never be done. It’s horrific , painful,takes forever to heal. Also leaves you with insane scars. That’s if you have a good surgery.
Fasting is free, it works isn’t painful. Leaves zero scars will even remove damaged skin. Zero complications and can be as fast or slowly done as you want. I do , 72 hours eat then do 48s eat 2 days repeate.
Amy Knudsen. Good for you!
Pug Tortuga how much have you lost? Did it take you long to loose the weight?
Julia Arnold I’ve lost 367 lbs. 18 months.
Tammy snake diet? No, I don’t drink diarrhea causing salt water, nor my own piss. Lol
I wish we had doctors like you around here.
Move to Tn. I am
We have him here.
I’m in Tennessee- where is his practice at?
I am moving to TN next year. Dr. Berry will be my only doctor!
Your on the right track Praying for you and others
It may sound silly but I've never thought what you eat effects you're skin over 3 months. I'm 49 and never even gave this a thought before. Just this one bit of information is going to stay with me thank you
I really appreciate the explanation of how autophagy works. Thank you.
God bless you Dr. Berry. You are an awesome doctor. I wish you well.
I’ve only recently found these videos. Thank you so much. This one answered many questions I’ve had. Wonderful!
Excellent video Dr. Berry. I’m sharing this with a friend who is having a hard time with significant excess skin since his bariatric surgery.
