Congratulations on your success on Keto! I’ve been following this way of eating for 5 months now and have been able to reverse my diabetes and lose 25 lbs. I’ve never felt better 💪

Intermittent fasting is a miracle. My skin was better, I lost weight, my digestion got better. And yes! breakfast is overrated! Once I stopped eating breakfast and I noticed I lost weight. And my last meal was at 6pm.
Been on Keto and IF since March and I can’t imagine going back to how I used to eat . It’s a lifestyle now. I have NEVER in my life felt healthier ,everything is clear . I don’t care to lose anymore weight but it’s how it makes me feel . I am no longer a slave to food . You tube is a wonderful tool to learn from .Great video !
My favorite makeup artist with favorite diet 😘 I did keto and intermitnet fasting for about 2 years now feeling great never looked back. Keep going u look great 🌸
Dr Berg is fantastic. I have done Keto and have never felt better. Your headaches initially are common and are due to carb withdrawal . (Any withdrawal is a body tantrum wanting what it is addicted to ) . I decreased my carbs very slowly because I was away working when I started it and could not afford to feel unwell. It worked. So happy to hear you made a change before the amount was 100 lbs...its great inspiration for those that have some to lose but not a lot- stop the gaining & turn the tide . Cheers to your health!
Good for you. I did this almost 6 months ago. I've had similar results. And carbs made me hairier because I noticed a huge decrease around 50% in peach fuzz on cheeks. I'll never return to the unhealthy carb insulin cycle. I'll treat once in awhile but vegetables/fruits are proper carbs for me. Fiber, healthy fats, protein.
Weight is such an individual thing as is diet and routine. For instance, I am Andrea's same height, a quarter inch taller and my maintaining weight is 119lbs to 122lbs. Yet, I have little visible fat, and more muscle tone. So, everyone, go by how you feel and body fat percentage. Look at your energy levels and how you gain weight if you do. Body type is very important as health is a contextual and holistic measure. I know this might be a basic concept for some but for others, they might only look at the numbers on a scale. In my opinion, moderation, sensible eating and listening to your body is number one. Secondly, I do think that limiting your eating with certain hours is helpful. Finally, simplicity is the most important way of maintaining and actually staying healthy all your life. Diets don't work if you can't be consistent through time.
I Started Keto also after seeing Katys video. I Can’t be happier that i started. I got same results in one week on keto that I got for month and a half of working out and eating healthy 😅 I’ve been loving your channel since you started and I love your ig get ready with me stories ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
being on my Keto diet for 18 days and I've lost 10 Lbs (only started IT 10 days after starting my diet). I'm also petit like you, so it's amazing that I came across this video!! I totally understand how you say this is a lifestyle, it is definitely becoming one I love, I plan on following this about 2 months if not more :)
I loved your video! So glad you encouraged everyone to do their own research. I have done keto for the last 7 years and have had remarkable results. I liked the part where you said I know I have lost weight by pinching my arm. I have a place like that too but on my belly. Keep up all the hard work! You look great!
For me personally, keto and intermittent fasting helped me lose weight without ever feeling hangry, lethargic or deprived. Ultimately, the best benefits were that this approach helped me change my mindset in regards to eating. Since I feel great, I don't need to "treat" myself with food to diminish any desires or cravings or psychological issues. I enjoy paying attention to how I feel, and I appreciate having strict guidelines to keep me focused. In regards to concerns about maintaining the keto diet long-term, there are many valid issues. Every body is different, and we all need to develop sensitivity to what feels right and also do our research in regards to whether or not we are consuming the nutrients we need. I believe that keto is great short-term, and then over time it's possible to start including other foods and see how that goes. The main focus becomes health and vitality and an awareness of what we're putting into our bodies and how it affects us both short and long-term. Intermittent fasting is incredible overall as it sets clear guidelines and allows you to set limits and come to terms with what you're feeling physically and what you're struggling with emotionally. It allows you to discern what your body needs as opposed to what you emotionally desire.
I had keto for 3 months, got my desired weight, and..hairloss at the end of third month due to totally avoiding fruits. I stop, then slowly gained weight again. Then I start on keto again. I'm not afraid of keto since I used it as a tool, not as a lifestyle. Avoid fruit except avocado is a must if you want to start ketosis asap. Make your keto period as effective n as quick as possible. Know your tool!!
I am so happy I watched this video! I’ve wanted to do the Keto diet and intermittent fasting for ages but this has given me the push I needed ! I love watching your videos ❤️
I do Keto and IF, too! I've never felt better. This is the only thing that has kept the excess fat off, but also made me feel so strong and energized. I'll never go back. It has been more than a year now.
Very informative video!! I’ve been on keto since May and like you said this is no longer a diet for me. It is indeed a lifestyle. Keto has changed my life and I can’t imagine ever going back to eating a different way. Congrats on your loss , you are stunning !
You did a fantastic job describing keto/IF...so happy you discovered Dr. Berg and his utube channel. I've also reaped the benefits of keto/IF. Good for you! Wonderful video and very caring of you to share your discovery to better health!
i’ve been waiting for this video for such a long time!!! thank you for telling us about your journey. you rock!!! i have lost 17 pounds and feel amazing. this stuff works. i also love dr. berg and i would recommend dr. mark hyman, dr. david perlmutter, dr. jason fung and max lugavere. oh and i also adore bread and croissants and i can’t believe i’ve been able to stay away from them hehe
this stuff works, yes, but in the longrun it will ruin your body! why not eat a hclf wholefood vegan diet, you can eat soo much delicious meals without starving yourself and its so good for y
THANKYOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!! And for discussing your side effects. I've been looking at keto for months but never heard about some of your issues so now I can prepare myself..You've inspired me to finally take the plunge. Liked and subbed, you have a beautiful demeanor ❤❤
Your video convinced me and I already started keto. :) But I have one remark. Do not use xylitol. Erythritol is better since you do not like stevia. Thanks for the inspiration!!
Congrats on your success & sticking to what you knew you needed to do for yourself! You have always been beautiful, but your skin is absolutely glowing! Thank you for talking to us about your journey, anything is easy to start, but nothing is easy to stick with unless you make it your lifestyle. I don’t think I could go without fruit, that is a dealbreaker for me, lol. I can easily give up bacon, cheese, butter (any dairy really), but not fruits & veggies! You are much more strong willed than I am! Much Much Love 🤗💜🤗!
I love you our channel, Andreea, love your personality, love your sense of humour, love your content. I feel like your videos are only made for me, lol! Thanks for this video! I am currently on Keto diet myself, and always, ALWAYS learn something new, when watching videos about it. Best of luck to you!
Great video! I don’t do Keto but I do intermittent fasting and I love it. Honestly it’s so easy and such a fast way to drop a few pounds. I have my first meal at 11am (sometimes later) and my last meal at 6pm.
Wait, you grew up in Romania and DIDN'T eat bread every day!? *I* come from Romania and I only learned in Canada that we weren't supposed to eat bread daily and especially not multiple times a day 😂
I totally agree...there was no one meal without bread...even with the "pilaf", but no judgment, maybe she is not for the "Ardeal" where the bread is best LOL. She is a nice lady, and i wish her the best of course...but is strange that she did not have one slice pf bread while she grow up in Romania...
16:25 lol, I got hungry, too! Thanks for sharing such a personal journey. It looks like you've learned to make sure your keto diet is as healthy as possible!
Hi Andrea, I hope you have healthy results with your new diet. I personally find Keto diet a bit too restrictive. Of course, I am not against eating organic dairy, meat products and lots of veggies. I am a believer in moderation in eating; getting rid of fruit from diet is a bit too much for me. But I like the idea of not having snacks in between meals, and restricting the eating time. That alone teaches people how to control their appetite. And for a lot of people, it can give results in terms of weight loss; not as quickly as 6 kilos in 2 months maybe (for a person in your height & weight), but a more gradual and sustainable weight loss. For the hair loss, I hope you saw a doctor, hair loss might be related to hormonal issues which may or may not be related to your new diet.
Hi Andreea, I just want to say thank you. I came across one of your videos a week or so ago and now I can't get enough, you have awoken my love of make-up again which I haven't had in well over 15yrs. I've ordered all sorts of products like a new brush kit & cleaners, good facial cleanser & moisturizer kits, beauty blenders... etc. I even have an appointment at a high end beauty shop here to go over my colours, learn some application tips & tricks and to get some great make-up, I'm throwing out all my old make-up and starting from scratch with nice products that suit my colour tone. I just tried to order the Exuviance face oil you talked about a few weeks ago but the link you added is just for the US and I'm in Canada. I did find it available on a different website but it was $97, thank goodness the shipping was free. Thanks again for being an inspiration to me, and I'm sure to others, It'll be like playing with my Mom's make-up when I was a kid, only this time I'll know what I'm doing, lol! Keep up with the CZcams videos, they're great, I thought I knew a lot about make-up but it seems I don't know the half of it. I like learning from you, you make things easy to understand without feeling like you're dumbing it down, in turn making us feel stupid, thank you for that. Jen
I am 162cm and weigh 50-51kg. To gain 7 kg is a lot indeed. When I was holidaying in Paris, I could not resist all the buttery breads and cakes and especially the yummy onion soup!!!! It is indeed hard to resist all the food!!! I do intermittent fasting on a weekly basis for self discipline. It helps.
I had the same experience after moving out of the UK to Continental Europe (Your hair in this video is, glorious, btw). Started eating a lot of bread, mostly because it was everywhere and I wasn't taking the time to cook and prepare food in advance. I'd go out to look for lunch and everything was bread bread bread. So I ate bread. Only a little at first and then more and more. Eventually my tummy got so big that I looked really fat even though I wasn't that big, like my tummy, chest, hip ratio was like 1:1.1:1.2. And I was choosing bread over food, which is really bad, like actual food, vegetables, meat. So I just cut it out, slowly. I try not to be hungry while I'm on the go so I don't fall into the trap of buying something with bread, which is almost always what you can get on the go. I've doubled or tripled the amount of protein I used to eat. I thought I was eating a lot of protein but I wasn't, for my size. You're supposed to eat 0.5-1g of protein per kg of body weight to maintain muscle mass, and muscle mass is what helps you burn fat. . I couldn't try Keto but I'm sure it works if you like high fat foods. I just wouldn't be able to keep up the ratio because I like a lot of foods that are high in proteins and carbs, like beans, and chickpeas, and not a lot of foods that are high in fats, like cheese. Intermittent fasting works for me though. I used to eat breakfast early even if I had dinner late. Now I just eat my last and first meal about 12 hours apart, or more. The easiest is to not eat in the morning for as long as possible. It's a lot harder to stop eating once I've started, but not that hard to not start, after sleeping. High protein also helps, so it all works together. 😊
Very well explained!! I have been Keto since August 26, 2018. It has worked well for me. I am only 4’10.5 and a 56 year old female. Her advice is very responsibly done!! You do need to have a balanced diet. Berries are great!
Yes! First of all I love your videos, I love your personality and all your great tips. So happy to hear that you are having similar experience with Keto. I also ate lots of bread when I first moved to Europe. They are just so good. I gained 10kg in a year. Now I am on the same journey, keto changed my life! 🙌🙌🙌
When I was in my twenties I weighed 105 at 5’2”. I’m 81 years old. And I weigh 144. Way too heavy but if I lose all that weight my face would look awful
I just this very minute found this video. OMG!!! I would never have guessed you are only an inch taller than me. What I enjoyed about your video was your reference to Dr. Berg and IF. I have followed him for about three years. That's when I started IF, haven't really tried the Keto Diet maybe because I just couldn't eat that much food. Sadly, things changed in my life a few months ago and IF went out the window, however, I recently started again and when I saw your video and listened to your story it motivated me to stay on the IF path. Dr. Berg is great and funny. Looking at older pictures of him, you can really see the difference IF and Keto has made in his life. I was able to speak with him a couple of times via his live YT show. Thank you, Ali Andreea.
I am so happy that these are working for you! I have to say that I am not sure it’s for women going into menopause with hormone fluctuations. I tried both intermittent fasting and keto as you did & not only did I not lose weight but I think it messed up my metabolism. Like I say though, I’m very happy it’s working for you! By the way, I am also vertically challenged - I am 5’2
I remember you said In your Instagram stories not too long ago that you stopped doing keto because you didnt feel too good on it. I think for me keto is most definitely not a way of life, as much as proponents of it want to say it is. Its extremely restrictive and it's most definitely just one of many ways to achieve your weight loss goals. Bottom line, a calorie deficit is the most important thing to lose weight. Diet choice is really just a preference.
Thank you for this video! I know it’s been out awhile . I’m 5 ft tall and w covid went up to 116! I’m now 110 trying to get to 100. I think this is gonna help ! You’re beautiful by the way!
Andreea, thanks for this video, it made me think that I’m on the right track. I have a psychiatric disorder and have been on medications for over 25 years. I gained an enormous amount of weight during those years because of the meds. I tried everything on the book to lose weight and nothing worked, then my Dr. referred me to this diet clinic that specializes in Keto and Low Carb diets with IF, in 5 months I lost 20 pounds. I’m 1.53m. My weight loss is not as dramatic as others because I’m on the same meds as before, but I’m feeling more healthy and I’m not a borderline diabetic anymore. On my cheat days I eat a little bit of bread cause that’s the only thing that I miss sometimes, but I don’t miss sweets actually they make me nauseous 🙂
I do intermittent fasting for 3 years now, and really is the best thing to do, I love my food , it is delicious a hundred times more rather than eating for the sake of it.
I appreciate seeing these diet vlogs.I started the keto diet after watching Katy’s diet videos, and soon after discovered Dr.Bergs videos. Eye opening! Watching these videos keep me motivated, good luck on your diet ventures!
Whaaaat? Esti din Romania? Nu poooot sa cred! Te urmaresc de putin timp, imi place la nebunie stilul tau si nu am banuit nicio secunda ca esti romanca. I looooove ur accent! Muuuah!
I 've been on Keto ,now lowcarb lifestyle for 3years now.I love it and would not change..I lost some hair at the beginning also but it gets all back, even better.Good luck to you
Thank you so much for this video!!! I am same 5-5.2 and I have 47-49kg and I wanna try to get I back down to 45-46 where I feel confident and good in myself but also finding a lifestyle and this is so inspiring for me!!! Congrats in you 100k!!! Now lets hit the 1M 🤩🤩❤️ you're beautiful!
Andreaa i love the way u organised tje vid! Super helpful and always, as u usually do, think about us. Tx so muxh 4 being so thoughtful. Just one thing, Im also short, 1.53mtrs tall, 47 kgs is not the upper weight limit. WHO has the BMI (body mass index) where it indicates according to height and weight what type of body a person has: thin, slim, normal, overweighted, obese 1, obese 2, obese 3, and morbid obesity. The limits for a person like me with 1.53mtrs tall, is between 44 and 58 kilos (to have a healthy, normal weight) under 44 kilos it states "acceptable thinnes", stressing the fact that the person is slightly underweighted, but can do with it. Above 58 kgs, it states overweight. I believe it is important to make these things clear as it is what all doctors around the world take into account when assessing obesity. Once again, tx for taking the time to organise the box so clearly and with so much patience and love. Love, Lau
Laura L Thank you for taking time to write this. I think it matters a lot your body type. Back home I had my doctor who would put me on the scale and tell me how much muscle mass I had, fat, water etc. He told me That my bone structure is very thin and if I want to still look thin I have to not get over 49 kg. I think I am still normal at 55 kg according to BMI but I promise you I look chubby at that weight. For me it’s more important how I feel than anything else. I have been monitoring my weight my whole life so that’s why I know at what weight I feel the best. 😘❤️
@@AliAndreea oh sweetie! Tx so much for ur answer. U shouldnt have. Im just a viewer. The purpose of my comment was cause there are tons of teens there, watching, and they may think... oh, i weight 52. Im fat. I need to lose weight. And most probably, they are fine. It was by no means with any intetion to cause any harm at all, just that im super aware of these things, having struggled with anorexia in the past. It all came from my heart and with all my love and respect for you. I super admire you and I hope I have not offended you in any way with my comment. If I did, Im trully and deeply sorry and hope u can forgive me. All my love and best wishes to you. Lau.
Hi Andrea..thanks for doing this video.i have been waiting for it with much anticipation! Watched it from start to finish. Your video has encouraged me to start the Keto...as I am amazed that you being such a foodie ( as am i...and also live in France) can resist all this glorious French food :) You look great...but best of all YOU feel beautiful! X
You are adorable, your English is very good. I recently started watching Dr. Berg and enjoyed his little CZcams videos. I started to try his intermittent fasting. It wasn't hard. I never eat breakfast anyway. Just green organic tea in the morning. This time I started to add heavy cream to it, and a packet of Stevia. I usually have a little something at about 2:00 PM for lunch. I also tried to drink the apple cider vinegar and water every day and I tried to eat more protein and veggies for dinner and no fruit, except berries with a little heavy cream. After 2 weeks I had lost 6 pounds. Right now, I have a big stomach ache and do not really feel like eating much at all. Not sure if the Keto diet is responsible, but I also seem to be constipated. I am hoping this will pass. Thank you for this video.
Really? Who is the 58 dislikes? This is her journey, that I followed myself 16 years ago before these diets became popular. It made my life healthier, mind and spirit. If you have negativity, take a look at why you post them...she is helping her community. If you dont like it, keep it to yourself unless what she says offends you. Bravo for posting! There are some of us who have been through struggles and a journey and we need to get back on track. I will say, working out is the only way to stay fit with mindful eating. You can splurge if you add working out...we need to splurge on more than fruit! AND can be done!
Thank you for sharing this with us. I don't think it's about the weight actually but how one feels. I'm 155cm and always weighed around 52 to 54 kgs. Last 5 years I gained weight but now am back on track with around 53 kgs and I feel almost too skinny.
First of all I want to thank you for being the first influencer I’ve seen that keep things so down to earth and real🙏🏼❤️ I feel like I can relate to you in many ways! Then I would like to congratulate you to your weight loss and strength, it shows that it wasn’t just waterweight but more shedding from an (to me) already slim woman! I would like to recommend you to eat zinc when it comes to hair loss cause it has so many great benefits and one included is hair loss and skin. Also sleep and most of all boost the immune system! I used to shed so much hair til I started eating sink and now it’s barely nothing in my brush at the end of the day🎉🙏🏼 I look forward to seeing more of you and keep up the awesome work you do beautiful😍💗🌸🎉
I also started the keto diet about 5 weeks ago. So far lost about 8lbs. I do miss the sweets since i love them. But I have seen result like you said so I am sticking with it to lose another 8lbs. I agree with you, I also feel better about myself too. Im not sure it will be a total life style change, but it has made me so much more aware of what not to eat. And that my body can survive on alot less than what i was eating. BTW you are beautiful and thanks for sharing this
I hope you continue to tell us about your success with your healthy Keto dietary experience. i hope you continue to relate your progress to the folks who follow you. i have lost6 25lbs in 3 months. Please continue to report your progress to your subscribers. Love all of your videos!!!
Thank you for sharing your story and congratulations on finding a diet that works for you. So glad good fats are no longer the enemy and are recognized for the energy and satiety they provide. I also started a diet a year after a job change. A few too many pounds crept on and I braved the scales too. It's scary but imagine had I not. By now I would not be able to get through the door. Great video, look forward to more fabulous beauty and makeup wisdom 😍
I was born at Tours( Indre et Loire) of a French mother and and a dad of Indo origin from Guyana 🇬🇾 South America formerly British Guiana.I live in Georgetown Guyana. I really look forward to your blogs. You are awesome not withstanding that I am able to feel that I am experiencing living in my beloved France 🇫🇷 through you.
Ali.....I have to say this video was really motivating.... my husband and I are both uncomfortable in our skin..... we have decided it is time to make a lifestyle change....I plan to do additional research on Keto and begin exercising again... thank u 💕💕💋 I am open minded to different ways of healthier living.... and understand that to each is their own.... high five to u with ur positive changes leading to a better, smaller u.... i'm 5 feet tall so I know what it's like to be "little"
thank you for opening up and being vulnerable...not everybody is capable of doing that. i can only imagine how it feels to show your vulnerable side ...it shows true character and your authentic personality. much love from an indian fan
The only thing I would like to add is that squeezing lemon in sparkling water affects your teeth. So try to put it in still water instead. Good luck on your journey Andreea, you are lovely 🤗🤗
Am a fan since the first time I saw u here..omg u r Soo elegantly beautiful and classy. The way u speak and teach....and d bloopers after the video is Soo fun to watch too
I just want to say that I am happy you found a way to feel better about yourself because I understand how important that is, but I do want to add that you are so beautiful and I never once in all these videos did I ever think to myself about you as being overweight. I love how voluptuous and we'll yes I can say this ..... sexy you are and the point is you can really get away with that Pain au Chocolat every now and then, or even a few Macarons.(which I am sure you do) It's always a toss up for me because I have naturally larger hips and that is the last place I loose last. I notice that dieting and too much excercise causes me to loose too much from my cheeks and face, which can be aging, I guess it's all about finding that balance, right? This year I decided I would just be kind to myself and eat healthy, listen to my body because I really believe it tells us what it needs, and have a cheat day where I eat anything but most of all focus on loving the way I am. I am happy for you.
I had all the same experiences on the ketogenic diet and lost many kilos. And it is a lifestyle for me too, but I sometimes went out of keto after loosing the weight and what I can tell you is: it is every single time more difficult to come back in this ketogenic state. So I have made up my mind next time to stay at least in low carb (even if I am out o ketosis)! I hope this tip helps you, when you have to decide sugar or low carb desserts. Best regards and good success! bye! :-) Thank you!
I love you already. I am on Keto from 2 weeks I lost 3 lb and I am fro Romania too live in United States for 30 years. Your cat name Motanescu is hilarious. Looking forward to see more videos with you. I am so glad I found you on CZcams.Today I feel a little better but I struggle with keto flu for about a week now I hope is going to go away because my son is getting married in 3 weeks.
Congratulations on your success on Keto! I’ve been following this way of eating for 5 months now and have been able to reverse my diabetes and lose 25 lbs. I’ve never felt better 💪
Same problem with me. What are the tips you give on this diet
how tf do you reverse diabetes

Couldn't agree more!
My favorite makeup artist with favorite diet 😘 I did keto and intermitnet fasting for about 2 years now feeling great never looked back. Keep going u look great 🌸
It's been two more years. R u still doing keto? 🤓thnx
@@VK-uh5jz hey 👋🏽, yes am still doing keto but more focused on Animal products/ carnivore
Amy Hi thanks for the response! Yes I've heard of people going from keto to carnivore. Very interesting! Best wishes ❤️
Dr Berg is fantastic. I have done Keto and have never felt better. Your headaches initially are common and are due to carb withdrawal . (Any withdrawal is a body tantrum wanting what it is addicted to ) . I decreased my carbs very slowly because I was away working when I started it and could not afford to feel unwell. It worked. So happy to hear you made a change before the amount was 100 lbs...its great inspiration for those that have some to lose but not a lot- stop the gaining & turn the tide . Cheers to your health!
Good for you. I did this almost 6 months ago. I've had similar results. And carbs made me hairier because I noticed a huge decrease around 50% in peach fuzz on cheeks. I'll never return to the unhealthy carb insulin cycle. I'll treat once in awhile but vegetables/fruits are proper carbs for me. Fiber, healthy fats, protein.

I had keto for 3 months, got my desired weight, and..hairloss at the end of third month due to totally avoiding fruits. I stop, then slowly gained weight again. Then I start on keto again. I'm not afraid of keto since I used it as a tool, not as a lifestyle. Avoid fruit except avocado is a must if you want to start ketosis asap. Make your keto period as effective n as quick as possible. Know your tool!!

I am so happy I watched this video! I’ve wanted to do the Keto diet and intermittent fasting for ages but this has given me the push I needed ! I love watching your videos ❤️
Dr Berg is amazing! I lost 15 lbs in 3 weeks! Keto/IF is powerful
I do Keto and IF, too! I've never felt better. This is the only thing that has kept the excess fat off, but also made me feel so strong and energized. I'll never go back. It has been more than a year now.
Very informative video!! I’ve been on keto since May and like you said this is no longer a diet for me. It is indeed a lifestyle. Keto has changed my life and I can’t imagine ever going back to eating a different way. Congrats on your loss , you are stunning !
Omg even dr Eric Berg- you read my mind woman!!!! And the skin! Perfect♥️
You did a fantastic job describing keto/IF...so happy you discovered Dr. Berg and his utube channel. I've also reaped the benefits of keto/IF. Good for you! Wonderful video and very caring of you to share your discovery to better health!
i’ve been waiting for this video for such a long time!!! thank you for telling us about your journey. you rock!!! i have lost 17 pounds and feel amazing. this stuff works.
i also love dr. berg and i would recommend dr. mark hyman, dr. david perlmutter, dr. jason fung and max lugavere.
oh and i also adore bread and croissants and i can’t believe i’ve been able to stay away from them hehe
this stuff works, yes, but in the longrun it will ruin your body! why not eat a hclf wholefood vegan diet, you can eat soo much delicious meals without starving yourself and its so good for y
Ms84jessa keto is not starving at all. Vegan diet is the most unhealthy diet someone can possibly choose! Been there, done that!
Thanks for your suggestions of other channels, I'll check them out ❤
also, Health Coach Kait (she's a dietician)
THANKYOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!! And for discussing your side effects. I've been looking at keto for months but never heard about some of your issues so now I can prepare myself..You've inspired me to finally take the plunge.
Liked and subbed, you have a beautiful demeanor ❤❤
U r very elegant lady ...you talk in such a calm way ...I like u 🇵🇰
So happy I found your channel- Makeup and Keto are two of my favorite subjects!
Your video convinced me and I already started keto. :) But I have one remark. Do not use xylitol. Erythritol is better since you do not like stevia. Thanks for the inspiration!!
Monkfruit with Erythritol blend is better for the gut, which is where brain neurotransmitter are created for mental health
Bread is happiness. Sourdough French baguette is the double of it☺️
Thank you so much for putting the times on this! Also, I can't wait to try the recipe :)
Buna Andreea, respect pentru ceea ce faci! Tutorialele tale sunt foarte inspirante si motivatoare.
Salutari de la Nürnberg
Thank you for the time stamps - GREAT! the extra work is much appreciated
Congrats on your success & sticking to what you knew you needed to do for yourself! You have always been beautiful, but your skin is absolutely glowing! Thank you for talking to us about your journey, anything is easy to start, but nothing is easy to stick with unless you make it your lifestyle. I don’t think I could go without fruit, that is a dealbreaker for me, lol. I can easily give up bacon, cheese, butter (any dairy really), but not fruits & veggies! You are much more strong willed than I am! Much Much Love 🤗💜🤗!
I love you our channel, Andreea, love your personality, love your sense of humour, love your content. I feel like your videos are only made for me, lol!
Thanks for this video! I am currently on Keto diet myself, and always, ALWAYS learn something new, when watching videos about it.
Best of luck to you!
Great video! I don’t do Keto but I do intermittent fasting and I love it. Honestly it’s so easy and such a fast way to drop a few pounds. I have my first meal at 11am (sometimes later) and my last meal at 6pm.
Wait, you grew up in Romania and DIDN'T eat bread every day!? *I* come from Romania and I only learned in Canada that we weren't supposed to eat bread daily and especially not multiple times a day 😂
I totally agree...there was no one meal without bread...even with the "pilaf", but no judgment, maybe she is not for the "Ardeal" where the bread is best LOL. She is a nice lady, and i wish her the best of course...but is strange that she did not have one slice pf bread while she grow up in Romania...
Lol, we even ate bread with potatoes in my family🤣
@@arghirrellle we didn't, but *I* did by myself because it was DELICIOUS
Bread with soup, pasta, potatoes...😂 We do eat a lot of bread in Ardeal.
Agnes Mina my friend visited Romania and said every half mile he saw people selling bread and cheese so I’m surprised at that .
Much love from Greece..!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so honest, so precise, so sweet.. I'll follow your advice.. God bless you..
16:25 lol, I got hungry, too!
Thanks for sharing such a personal journey. It looks like you've learned to make sure your keto diet is as healthy as possible!
Dr Berg was my turning point. Love him! Look look marvelous and you’re so talented.
Hi Andrea, I hope you have healthy results with your new diet. I personally find Keto diet a bit too restrictive. Of course, I am not against eating organic dairy, meat products and lots of veggies. I am a believer in moderation in eating; getting rid of fruit from diet is a bit too much for me. But I like the idea of not having snacks in between meals, and restricting the eating time. That alone teaches people how to control their appetite. And for a lot of people, it can give results in terms of weight loss; not as quickly as 6 kilos in 2 months maybe (for a person in your height & weight), but a more gradual and sustainable weight loss.
For the hair loss, I hope you saw a doctor, hair loss might be related to hormonal issues which may or may not be related to your new diet.
Hi Andreea, I just want to say thank you. I came across one of your videos a week or so ago and now I can't get enough, you have awoken my love of make-up again which I haven't had in well over 15yrs. I've ordered all sorts of products like a new brush kit & cleaners, good facial cleanser & moisturizer kits, beauty blenders... etc. I even have an appointment at a high end beauty shop here to go over my colours, learn some application tips & tricks and to get some great make-up, I'm throwing out all my old make-up and starting from scratch with nice products that suit my colour tone. I just tried to order the Exuviance face oil you talked about a few weeks ago but the link you added is just for the US and I'm in Canada. I did find it available on a different website but it was $97, thank goodness the shipping was free. Thanks again for being an inspiration to me, and I'm sure to others, It'll be like playing with my Mom's make-up when I was a kid, only this time I'll know what I'm doing, lol! Keep up with the CZcams videos, they're great, I thought I knew a lot about make-up but it seems I don't know the half of it. I like learning from you, you make things easy to understand without feeling like you're dumbing it down, in turn making us feel stupid, thank you for that.

I am 162cm and weigh 50-51kg. To gain 7 kg is a lot indeed. When I was holidaying in Paris, I could not resist all the buttery breads and cakes and especially the yummy onion soup!!!! It is indeed hard to resist all the food!!! I do intermittent fasting on a weekly basis for self discipline. It helps.
Watching this video while having biriyani, feels heavenly! 😪😪
Loved this video..and alwaysss loved ur style in thinking,analyzing, explaining , humor, knowledge,,,,personality..everything!!
154 cm and 47 kg BMI is actually 19.8 so definitely not at 'the upper limit for your weight'. I dont know how you calculated that x)
Exactly!
I had the same experience after moving out of the UK to Continental Europe (Your hair in this video is, glorious, btw). Started eating a lot of bread, mostly because it was everywhere and I wasn't taking the time to cook and prepare food in advance. I'd go out to look for lunch and everything was bread bread bread. So I ate bread. Only a little at first and then more and more. Eventually my tummy got so big that I looked really fat even though I wasn't that big, like my tummy, chest, hip ratio was like 1:1.1:1.2. And I was choosing bread over food, which is really bad, like actual food, vegetables, meat.
So I just cut it out, slowly. I try not to be hungry while I'm on the go so I don't fall into the trap of buying something with bread, which is almost always what you can get on the go. I've doubled or tripled the amount of protein I used to eat. I thought I was eating a lot of protein but I wasn't, for my size. You're supposed to eat 0.5-1g of protein per kg of body weight to maintain muscle mass, and muscle mass is what helps you burn fat. .
I couldn't try Keto but I'm sure it works if you like high fat foods. I just wouldn't be able to keep up the ratio because I like a lot of foods that are high in proteins and carbs, like beans, and chickpeas, and not a lot of foods that are high in fats, like cheese. Intermittent fasting works for me though. I used to eat breakfast early even if I had dinner late. Now I just eat my last and first meal about 12 hours apart, or more. The easiest is to not eat in the morning for as long as possible. It's a lot harder to stop eating once I've started, but not that hard to not start, after sleeping. High protein also helps, so it all works together. 😊
Love the video, thank you for being so thorough! Would love to see an update on your diet and if your still eating keto now:)
Very well explained!! I have been Keto since August 26, 2018. It has worked well for me. I am only 4’10.5 and a 56 year old female. Her advice is very responsibly done!! You do need to have a balanced diet. Berries are great!
Yes! First of all I love your videos, I love your personality and all your great tips. So happy to hear that you are having similar experience with Keto. I also ate lots of bread when I first moved to Europe. They are just so good. I gained 10kg in a year. Now I am on the same journey, keto changed my life! 🙌🙌🙌
When I was in my twenties I weighed 105 at 5’2”. I’m 81 years old. And I weigh 144.
Way too heavy but if I lose all that weight my face would look awful
I just this very minute found this video. OMG!!! I would never have guessed you are only an inch taller than me. What I enjoyed about your video was your reference to Dr. Berg and IF. I have followed him for about three years. That's when I started IF, haven't really tried the Keto Diet maybe because I just couldn't eat that much food. Sadly, things changed in my life a few months ago and IF went out the window, however, I recently started again and when I saw your video and listened to your story it motivated me to stay on the IF path. Dr. Berg is great and funny. Looking at older pictures of him, you can really see the difference IF and Keto has made in his life. I was able to speak with him a couple of times via his live YT show. Thank you, Ali Andreea.
I am so happy that these are working for you! I have to say that I am not sure it’s for women going into menopause with hormone fluctuations. I tried both intermittent fasting and keto as you did & not only did I not lose weight but I think it messed up my metabolism.
Like I say though, I’m very happy it’s working for you! By the way, I am also vertically challenged - I am 5’2
Great video, Andreea! Love it! It changed the way I think! Thank you very much!
I remember you said In your Instagram stories not too long ago that you stopped doing keto because you didnt feel too good on it. I think for me keto is most definitely not a way of life, as much as proponents of it want to say it is. Its extremely restrictive and it's most definitely just one of many ways to achieve your weight loss goals. Bottom line, a calorie deficit is the most important thing to lose weight. Diet choice is really just a preference.
Thank you for this video! I know it’s been out awhile . I’m 5 ft tall and w covid went up to 116! I’m now 110 trying to get to 100. I think this is gonna help ! You’re beautiful by the way!
Andreea, thanks for this video, it made me think that I’m on the right track. I have a psychiatric disorder and have been on medications for over 25 years. I gained an enormous amount of weight during those years because of the meds. I tried everything on the book to lose weight and nothing worked, then my Dr. referred me to this diet clinic that specializes in Keto and Low Carb diets with IF, in 5 months I lost 20 pounds. I’m 1.53m. My weight loss is not as dramatic as others because I’m on the same meds as before, but I’m feeling more healthy and I’m not a borderline diabetic anymore.
On my cheat days I eat a little bit of bread cause that’s the only thing that I miss sometimes, but I don’t miss sweets actually they make me nauseous 🙂
I do intermittent fasting for 3 years now, and really is the best thing to do, I love my food , it is delicious a hundred times more rather than eating for the sake of it.
Waiting for this video for quite sometime. Thanks for putting this up 😘❤️
I appreciate seeing these diet vlogs.I started the keto diet after watching Katy’s diet videos, and soon after discovered Dr.Bergs videos. Eye opening! Watching these videos keep me motivated, good luck on your diet ventures!
I love dr berg! Changed my life!
OMG the more I watch you the more I love you ... Honestly, whenever I want to feel good and happy I woud watch you ..
Whaaaat? Esti din Romania? Nu poooot sa cred! Te urmaresc de putin timp, imi place la nebunie stilul tau si nu am banuit nicio secunda ca esti romanca. I looooove ur accent! Muuuah!
It's obvious!
@@biancahotca3244 the moment I watched the first video i knew she was romanian.. how can you no see that right away??
I 've been on Keto ,now lowcarb lifestyle for 3years now.I love it and would not change..I lost some hair at the beginning also but it gets all back, even better.Good luck to you
Cred ca am urmărit 20 videoclipuri legat și abia acum am văzut ca ești românca. Ma bucur ca te-am descoperit, e o plăcere ! ☀️
You are so natural. I am so thankful to you, just because u r as u r. Thank you, for true story you sharing. Love u.
Thank you so much for this video!!! I am same 5-5.2 and I have 47-49kg and I wanna try to get I back down to 45-46 where I feel confident and good in myself but also finding a lifestyle and this is so inspiring for me!!! Congrats in you 100k!!! Now lets hit the 1M 🤩🤩❤️ you're beautiful!
I really fall in love with this look, can you do make up tutorial about this look please??
I do the "arm thing too!!! Haha😂. You look great! Congratz with the 100K followers😍
Andreaa i love the way u organised tje vid! Super helpful and always, as u usually do, think about us. Tx so muxh 4 being so thoughtful.
Just one thing, Im also short, 1.53mtrs tall, 47 kgs is not the upper weight limit. WHO has the BMI (body mass index) where it indicates according to height and weight what type of body a person has: thin, slim, normal, overweighted, obese 1, obese 2, obese 3, and morbid obesity.
The limits for a person like me with 1.53mtrs tall, is between 44 and 58 kilos (to have a healthy, normal weight) under 44 kilos it states "acceptable thinnes", stressing the fact that the person is slightly underweighted, but can do with it. Above 58 kgs, it states overweight.
I believe it is important to make these things clear as it is what all doctors around the world take into account when assessing obesity.
Once again, tx for taking the time to organise the box so clearly and with so much patience and love.
Love, Lau
Laura L Thank you for taking time to write this. I think it matters a lot your body type. Back home I had my doctor who would put me on the scale and tell me how much muscle mass I had, fat, water etc. He told me That my bone structure is very thin and if I want to still look thin I have to not get over 49 kg. I think I am still normal at 55 kg according to BMI but I promise you I look chubby at that weight.
For me it’s more important how I feel than anything else. I have been monitoring my weight my whole life so that’s why I know at what weight I feel the best.
😘❤️
@@AliAndreea oh sweetie! Tx so much for ur answer. U shouldnt have. Im just a viewer.
The purpose of my comment was cause there are tons of teens there, watching, and they may think... oh, i weight 52. Im fat. I need to lose weight. And most probably, they are fine. It was by no means with any intetion to cause any harm at all, just that im super aware of these things, having struggled with anorexia in the past.
It all came from my heart and with all my love and respect for you. I super admire you and I hope I have not offended you in any way with my comment. If I did, Im trully and deeply sorry and hope u can forgive me.
All my love and best wishes to you.
Lau.
I really love the way you are! I love watching you! You are inspirational! 😘😘😘
Hi Andrea..thanks for doing this video.i have been waiting for it with much anticipation! Watched it from start to finish. Your video has encouraged me to start the Keto...as I am amazed that you being such a foodie ( as am i...and also live in France) can resist all this glorious French food :) You look great...but best of all YOU feel beautiful! X
Thank you!!! Like truly thank you!
You are adorable, your English is very good. I recently started watching Dr. Berg and enjoyed his little CZcams videos. I started to try his intermittent fasting. It wasn't hard. I never eat breakfast anyway. Just green organic tea in the morning. This time I started to add heavy cream to it, and a packet of Stevia. I usually have a little something at about 2:00 PM for lunch. I also tried to drink the apple cider vinegar and water every day and I tried to eat more protein and veggies for dinner and no fruit, except berries with a little heavy cream. After 2 weeks I had lost 6 pounds. Right now, I have a big stomach ache and do not really feel like eating much at all. Not sure if the Keto diet is responsible, but I also seem to be constipated. I am hoping this will pass. Thank you for this video.
Really? Who is the 58 dislikes? This is her journey, that I followed myself 16 years ago before these diets became popular. It made my life healthier, mind and spirit. If you have negativity, take a look at why you post them...she is helping her community. If you dont like it, keep it to yourself unless what she says offends you. Bravo for posting! There are some of us who have been through struggles and a journey and we need to get back on track.
I will say, working out is the only way to stay fit with mindful eating. You can splurge if you add working out...we need to splurge on more than fruit! AND can be done!
Thank you so much for doing this video l had lost the hope now I will start this diet soon
Lovely videos ! You are quite a gal . Much success to you & your husband & your kitty . 🌸🌸🌸
Thank you for sharing this with us. I don't think it's about the weight actually but how one feels. I'm 155cm and always weighed around 52 to 54 kgs. Last 5 years I gained weight but now am back on track with around 53 kgs and I feel almost too skinny.
Ahh! I loove Dr. Berg! He is incredibly helpful.
I had to come back and watch this again because I needed your inspiration yet again.....💕
Andreea, some of those side effects are scary. Please be careful on this diet. We love you! ❤
Thank you for your story, You are a classic beauty and very sweet and grounded. Stunning !
Thanks a loooot fot this video! You are sooo an inspiration! I need to loose 15 kilos!!!!! Im ready to do this!
Dear Andrea, please do a makeup tutorial for this look you’re wearing
What is your lip color?
First of all I want to thank you for being the first influencer I’ve seen that keep things so down to earth and real🙏🏼❤️ I feel like I can relate to you in many ways!
Then I would like to congratulate you to your weight loss and strength, it shows that it wasn’t just waterweight but more shedding from an (to me) already slim woman!
I would like to recommend you to
eat zinc when it comes to hair loss cause it has so many great benefits and one included is hair loss and skin. Also sleep and most of all boost the immune system!
I used to shed so much hair til I started eating sink and now it’s barely nothing in my brush at the end of the day🎉🙏🏼
I look forward to seeing more of you and keep up the awesome work you do beautiful😍💗🌸🎉
I also started the keto diet about 5 weeks ago. So far lost about 8lbs. I do miss the sweets since i love them. But I have seen result like you said so I am sticking with it to lose another 8lbs. I agree with you, I also feel better about myself too. Im not sure it will be a total life style change, but it has made me so much more aware of what not to eat. And that my body can survive on alot less than what i was eating. BTW you are beautiful and thanks for sharing this
I hope you continue to tell us about your success with your healthy Keto dietary experience. i hope you continue to relate your progress to the folks who follow you. i have lost6 25lbs in 3 months. Please continue to report your progress to your subscribers. Love all of your videos!!!
You have the best lighting, I don't see a video on what set up you have! Please share :) :)
Thank you for sharing your story and congratulations on finding a diet that works for you. So glad good fats are no longer the enemy and are recognized for the energy and satiety they provide. I also started a diet a year after a job change. A few too many pounds crept on and I braved the scales too. It's scary but imagine had I not. By now I would not be able to get through the door. Great video, look forward to more fabulous beauty and makeup wisdom 😍
All hail Dr Berg!!! Thanks for sharing your journey Andreea 🙏
I was born at Tours( Indre et Loire) of a French mother and and a dad of Indo origin from Guyana 🇬🇾 South America formerly British Guiana.I live in Georgetown Guyana. I really look forward to your blogs. You are awesome not withstanding that I am able to feel that I am experiencing living in my beloved France 🇫🇷 through you.
Thank you for a wonderful honest post. I adore you along with your blog and your wealth of information and personal experience.
Great job. Lots and lots of answered questions in a fairly short video. 👍
Ali.....I have to say this video was really motivating.... my husband and I are both uncomfortable in our skin..... we have decided it is time to make a lifestyle change....I plan to do additional research on Keto and begin exercising again... thank u 💕💕💋 I am open minded to different ways of healthier living.... and understand that to each is their own.... high five to u with ur positive changes leading to a better, smaller u.... i'm 5 feet tall so I know what it's like to be "little"
Niccho Johnson please go to www.eatright.org which is run by the American Dietetic Nutritionist Association for accurate information :)
Congratulations on your success, Andreea. You do look beautiful (in every video) 😘
thank you for opening up and being vulnerable...not everybody is capable of doing that. i can only imagine how it feels to show your vulnerable side ...it shows true character and your authentic personality. much love from an indian fan
nice work beauty! i also need a make up tutorial on this make up.
The only thing I would like to add is that squeezing lemon in sparkling water affects your teeth. So try to put it in still water instead. Good luck on your journey Andreea, you are lovely 🤗🤗
My friend also had to stop the Keto due to gallbladder issues. You MUST see a Dr. before starting this diet. Side effects can be severe.
What is that lipstick you’re wearing? Love your makeup!
Am a fan since the first time I saw u here..omg u r Soo elegantly beautiful and classy. The way u speak and teach....and d bloopers after the video is Soo fun to watch too
Okay. But i need your hair 💕💕💕💕
I just want to say that I am happy you found a way to feel better about yourself because I understand how important that is, but I do want to add that you are so beautiful and I never once in all these videos did I ever think to myself about you as being overweight. I love how voluptuous and we'll yes I can say this ..... sexy you are and the point is you can really get away with that Pain au Chocolat every now and then, or even a few Macarons.(which I am sure you do) It's always a toss up for me because I have naturally larger hips and that is the last place I loose last. I notice that dieting and too much excercise causes me to loose too much from my cheeks and face, which can be aging, I guess it's all about finding that balance, right? This year I decided I would just be kind to myself and eat healthy, listen to my body because I really believe it tells us what it needs, and have a cheat day where I eat anything but most of all focus on loving the way I am.
I am happy for you.
Very inspiring, thank you, Andreea!! Beautiful!
I had all the same experiences on the ketogenic diet and lost many kilos. And it is a lifestyle for me too, but I sometimes went out of keto after loosing the weight and what I can tell you is: it is every single time more difficult to come back in this ketogenic state. So I have made up my mind next time to stay at least in low carb (even if I am out o ketosis)! I hope this tip helps you, when you have to decide sugar or low carb desserts. Best regards and good success! bye! :-) Thank you!
I love you already. I am on Keto from 2 weeks I lost 3 lb and I am fro Romania too live in United States for 30 years. Your cat name Motanescu is hilarious. Looking forward to see more videos with you. I am so glad I found you on CZcams.Today I feel a little better but I struggle with keto flu for about a week now I hope is going to go away because my son is getting married in 3 weeks.
Hi Simone. And did it went away? Thank you!
