Counting Calories is Stupid!

- For years we were all taught that it's simple to lose weight, simply burn more calories than you eat and you will lose weight. The problem is, this doesn't work as a means of permanent weight loss for 99.9% of humans.
Obesity, Over-weight, Insulin Resistance, and T2DM are not calorie surplus issues, they are hormone issues. Until you fix your food and fix your hormone levels you will never lose weight and keep it off.
The Standard American Diet, which is still spreading around the world, destroys your hormone balance and leads to weight gain and disease. The farther you move away from the SAD the closer you come to health and wellness.

![Counting Calories is DUMB [Science of Fat Loss]](/img/tr.png)
Here's how you lose fat! ▶▶▶ bit.ly/KETO101
Reduce calorie intake. And don't do keto!
There is one Coach Someone' Douche bag making fun out of this video of yours calling you inappropriate names.. I would love to see you response to the TRT junky idiot..
Left unsaid here is low carb high good fats and proteins in one or two meals a day, and eating until you are comfortably full, will NEVER leave you hungry. NEVER. You may initially have cravings for sweets, but that is not hunger. Your body will magically get to where it wants to be, not where YOU want it to be. So many good things will result that you’ll never go back to high carbs and processed foods. It took me 6 months, a ton of videos (Dr. Berry’s are my favorites), but there are others that You Tube will send you. Watch, learn and discern. My goal is to have my last days and years with good health and no chronic issues that can be torture. I’m convinced this is the way and that this is the pathway to better health.
Eat less calories then your TDEE, simple, dont need to watch no video
I'm telling people I've cut out sugar and simple carbs (as a way of life), because the minute I say "Keto" people are telling me (who really know nothing about it) how "dangerous" it is. However, they think it's really cool that I've cut out sugar and simple carbs, lol.
Lol...that's funny. Ppl are weird aren't they...😀
Yep. Also as soon as I say I am keto diet people say, "why you are already skinny." They don't realize that skinny fat is a thing and is very unhealthy and also that cutting sugar is a way to be healthy, not just to lose weight.
Yes, I told my uncle that keto diet seemed to be the healthy way now. Then he started telling me how dangerous it is. All the saturated fats. But I learned that he actually ate very little carb. He ate lots of vegetables, some meat and a lot of nuts. So I think he is sort of doing keto diet without knowing it.
@@SuccessforLifester he probably is. Saturated fats are our friends, the problem is he's going to be cutting out sodium and fats, and still having his insulin spike some from all that protein, and he's going to create more glucose out of that, and that COULD negatively impact his health.
He needs to eat his dang fats.
Lisa Grace 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Amen brother. Couldn’t agree with this video more. I was doing OMAD eating anything I wanted, the scale went down, but plateaued for months and months! Cut out all processed sugars and 95% of my carbs and holy shit! I’m eating over 3 meals a day I’m so satiated and full and the scale is going down the body fat is falling off! I can’t believe it. Fat calories and sugar calories are definitely not equal.
Yes because fat is 9 calories per gram, and sugar is about 9 as well.
@@epiclamp44 Sugar is 4, not 9.
I can do fasting for 3 days in a row with no weight loss fasting never made me lose weight it’s all about calories
If it's all about cals how do you not lose weight after not consuming cals for 3 days?

Your comment is self-refuting.

You are doing a great service for humanity
Thank you Ali!
How?
@@MichFoodFitness Perhaps by offering free, great advice on how to solve the obesity, heart disease, diabetes etc. epidemic that is plaguing our nation? I dunno, just a guess.

Well said Doc! Hubby and I have been working out and “eating clean” for 20 years. We recently went Keto and have never been so lean! Our abs have popped, our veins in our arms are popping, we are absolutely loving it! Oh and husbands blood pressure is the lowest it’s been (he was on meds for 15 years) so glad we found this!
Lost 31 lbs. in five months! Did not count calories at all. Did not exercise at all. I am now below my goal weight. I am 68 years old, and look the best I have looked in 25 years! Thank you Dr. Berry and the Keto diet!
same here didn't do exercise just cut off my snacks, fruit and sugary drinks and I loss 2.5 inches on my waist for two months .. as an asian who are used in eating rice and so on it's difficult to cut it off totally
most of it was muscle for sure
@@marcusmanmarcus if you are overweight your body would first gets it's protein from your skin before getting it from your muscle but if you are afraid of muscle lost just rise protein and calorie count
Perry Ellis you are a zealot, f&&& off
If you counted your calories you would have just seen u ate less lmao that’s all.
"...back when I was a fat, stupid doctor...." hahaha...great vid, Dr. Berry; thanks so much!

I've been doing the ketogenic diet since April 2017 and recently started intermittent fasting. In total, I've lost 62 pounds and I'm still dropping. I've never felt better!!! No. More. Hypoglycemia!! So happy to not get dizzy anymore!! So happy to see my midsection drop INCHES!!! So happy to feel good about myself!!
This is my new lifestyle! So loving this!
I work out and eat small amounts and lose weight
I just found your videos. I am a relatively recent convert to LCHF. My life and my patient's life have changed for the better! As a fellow family doc, it's refreshing to find there is another PCP giving sound nutrition advice. Keep it up!
I’ve just stopped counting calories for the first time in years and my mind is telling me that I will turn into a ballon. However you just told those negative thoughts that they’re stupid and invalid. This gave me so much motivation! Thank you!
Amen!

amazing, to see u here

Hey, Jason's approval makes me like this video even more!
I lost a lot of weight and never counted calories! IF and Low carb!
the average woman only needs about 1800 to maintain, so if you are eating one meal a day you are deff eating in a calorie deficit. a 1800 calorie meal is pretty big even for me as a guy that can eat allot.
Doesn't mean you weren't in a calorie deficit. Doing IF allowed you to eat less calories, eating less carbs allowed you to hold less glycogen and water.
@@darishennen898 yes it does, the only way to lose weight is with a calorie deficit, its just basic science. Everything with keto, macros, and IF all just are cico in disquise, all those diets result in a defecit of calories.
@@epiclamp44 Why are you trying to argue something to me that I agree with? Where in my reply did I say the opposite?
@@epiclamp44 I think you're specifically thinking more of losing fat. You can lose weight at maintenance or even in a surplus temporarily if you're not taking in carbs or water. Weighing in on a scale will show a significant drop in weight if you're dehydrated or have less glycogen.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I have been preaching this over and over - even inside keto diet groups - but nobody believes me. This mis-information about calories is so ingrained. Thank you so much for finally providing a video wd can share with studies and sources, instead of just our own knowledge. Thank you!
Kris Bryant ....yah these same people are the ones getting mad cause you turned down their offer of a piece of cake!!! I gave up on explaining how keto works because a lot of people insist on believing calories in versus calories out and fat is bad....THEY DONT WANT TO KNOW!! 😞
Yep, true, but I meant inside my keto diet groups on FB, other people on keto. I never try to convert or convince those outside of keto, they're too uneducated about nutrition, but those inside the keto community who are already following a keto diet, many of them are still also counting calories and preaching "calories in, calories out". Sure, there is some truth to not overeating even on keto, but I do that by regulating my fat intake, not counting calories.
Sorry to burst your bubble but counting calories (energy) works if you do it right. I am a living proof. My friends are as well.
Same with me. The group loses its collective mind when I tell them I only count carbs. We don’t to go ocd to succeed with keto.
@@krisbryant4963 Is it ok when my carb counter shows me over on calories and fat? I always stay under 20g carbs.
I always use Calories when discussing replacing petroleum energy density with alternative fuels.
shame on you -- it should be kJ! :)
Whatchu know about POL?
Just started Keto today and this is the only place I could find an answer about calorie restriction. Great video.
if you restrict calories, even by eating carbs, your insulin levels will also drop
Really
@@dthain no
@@peterkropotkin1158 lmao yes… it will. Watch some BioLayne videos about insulin
I have been saying this for YEARS and my MD hubby kept saying "calories in and calories out". Sending this video to him STAT!! Thank you!!!!
I lost 90 pounds counting calories but it's definitely easier to maintain the weight loss or even lose more weight when intermittent fasting.
Yup you can't stay in a deficiency forever cuz you keep using less. Endocrinology yup
Caloric theory nope
For anything that u want to last
@@dthain just eat at maintenance calories to maintain lol
how about we track the calories of the people who are losing weight using keto? id like to see a study where someone loses weight at a surplus on keto.
Exactly the ppl on keto don’t even know they are in a caloric deficit and think they can just break the laws of thermodynamics
"So I can be inflammatory" HAHAHA! BRILLIANT, doc!
I'm still trying to wrap my head around not counting calories. For at least the first 9 months on low carb I didn't even think about calories, or count them. Then hit a tiny stall and have been counting ever since. Turns out that stall was just my body waiting for the monthly woosh. At 15 months I've lost 140 pounds and for the first time hit a stall but I've been staying under 20 carbs and 1400-1600 calories a day. I'm a patient person and not freaking out about it and I know that the stress I've been under lately is most likely the culprit. But.. I'm still counting calories (hard habit to kick)
starsinaforest I think you did the right thing counting calories personally.. I mean look how much weight you lost.
Ye. In my honest opinion - for the majority of us - calories have a large impact! At least from my personal experience. 🥑
Visual Vel - Lets Player same here I always count calories
Are you following a Ketogenic diet? If so, you CAN'T EAT too many calories. You fill before you go beyond your calorie needs. It is carbs that don't get used, they get stored as fat because insulin resistance sets in. And you stay hungry. Add some intermittent fasting too.
bassmaster1953 oh really? So I, a 5'1" woman can eat 4000 calories a day? It's a total myth. Many people have to be careful about calories..I was on keto for about a year and lost nothing. I could eat a burger with cheese, queso and bacon and still be hungry. The total calorie count on that one burger was about 900 calories. My BMR for a day, without any activity is about 1100-1200 calories.
This is so true! I am on LCHF for almost a year and for one month recently I experimented and restricted my calories and saw no increase in weightloss
I am wondering about this. I once did a HCLF 600kcal diet and a LCHF 1600kcal diet, and the weight loss was exactly the same. My TDEE at the time was 2100kcal a day. Same starting weight for both diets, and very similar body composition when I started.
I now work with a dietitian who estimates what my TDEE is and how much of a calorie deficit I should do, she started me off on a moderate carb diet but we saw such slow result (less than the CICO calculation projected) that she decreased the carb intake to a low carb but non ketogenic diet. She didn't want to recommend keto.
I wasn't feeling my best on that low carb non keto diet, and had once had better results keto-ing on my own, so I made some adjustments (still going with her recommendations on calorie intake and protein intake, I was just exchanging some carbs for fat).
I feel much better now on keto, and have better results than on the low carb non keto diet. But even within keto I lose more weight the more I restrict the carbs.
My goal weight is in sight, and I've started wondering about how to stabilize weight.
Sometimes it happens on its own, but my previous experience tells me I tend to drop a little too low.
Some people recommend not increasing calories, but only increasing carbs. Others recommend increasing both. Some recommend only increasing calories, which will be hard to do since my current macros and calorie intake combo fills me up.
I can't ask the dietitian, who is still along for the ride supervising me doing keto even though that wasn't what she wanted me to do, because she doesn't know much about keto.
Sorry if TLDR. Maybe I should ask the keto reddit.
Holy crap! 600 calories? I bet you felt miserable!
@@itsalwayshalloweenexceptwh5118 im just starting and eating 1600 and 30 carbs
Should i lower it to 20?
I also dont eat much fat or protein, just a slice of ham, 3 slices of chz worth, and a chk thigh in airfryer a day
Cant tell what i should up or lower, but ive hit a stall just a few days in and im usually hungry and i eat 2 meals a day
Same tdee as u too lol
@@Laurannah101 For some reason I did not see this comment for a year, but it was miserable. Hungry all day.
@@bruty16 A stall for a few days is absolutely normal, even people who water fast (don't take in anything except for water) experience stalls that last for a few days.
Give it a week or two.
Going from 30gr net carbs a day to 20gr net carbs a day can't hurt though.
Where are those 1600kcal coming from if you don't eat much fat or protein?
What you say you eat doesn't sound like enough.
In any case if you're hungry too often eat more.
Don't be afraid to stop counting calories, just eat according to hunger and satiety cues.
It's much better for your metabolism in the long run.
Thank you so much for all these videos! I have my entire family, husband & 3 kids ages 10-16 "living the keto life" as my 16 year old daughter tells people. I'm finally losing weight again & my husband recently had his bloodwork done to find out he's OUT of the diabetic scale! In less than 2 months of changing g over to keto!❤ We're all in love with keto & not looking back!
Yes we need to remove the processed foods from our diets, it’s literally killing us.
Lost 60 pounds in less then 4 months exercising and counting calories. I guess I’m stupid....
Awesome. I've only been doing it a few weeks and already lost a few pounds. Slowly & surely.
I'm stupid too!! I've been counting calories for 8 months and lost over 50lbs. I lowered my cholesterol, I'm no longer obese (which I've been obese for about 15 years). Yeah, I'll keep being stupid and counting my calories.
Mind blown! I've been doing keto about 9 weeks. I just love your videos! Thank you for sharing the knowledge!

Hi Dr Berry. I just started me and my family on the Ketogenic diet and I have been learning so much from your videos. Thank you for making them.
Dr. BERRY, THANK YOU FOR KEEPING THIS SIMPLE. SO MANY PEOPLE give us to much info we will never remember it all. I love your info and will continue to follow you. Love you, Geri
I’ve learned so much from you Doc Berry. I’ve lost 31 pounds following your tips. Thank you. I’m looking super fit and feel healthy.
When I hear you, Jason Wittrock, and Dr. Berg agree on the fundamentals, and indeed, everything I can think of , I feel completely assured that keto isn't just the right way, but its the only way. 4 thousand years ago the Chinese medicine classics recommend essentially a high fat, moderate, meat, high veggie, low starch diet. Then 4000 years of losing our minds and then 2010 the world comes full circle.
I am PERMANENTLY subscribed. Keep up the great work!!!
I just found you today and I have binged on your videos for 2 hrs and still learning and enjoying!!!! Thank you! Amazing information!!

Yes, go both of you! WOOOOOO!
Update?
I tried calorie restricting for 3 months, only to lose a few pound, and then put twice as much back on. Since cutting out the carbs and going keto, I've lost a lot of weight without restricting or counting calories, in fact now I'm fat adapted I'm still losing weight without even needing or wanting to lose anymore. I'm glad that more people like yourself are putting this truth out there, people are spending millions a year on weight watchers and slimming world, and adding up every single thing they eat. Absolutely bonkers
Learning so much from you Dr. Ken! Thank you!
I'm so thankful for this relatively easy lifestyle. I don't count carbs, calories, fat or protein anymore. What an utter waste of time that was. I just follow the basic guidelines of LCHF, eat very tasty food and listen to my body's satiety and hunger signals. I'm down to one meal a day and with good sleep, it's not an issue. I love it!
monsterwerksvideo yes. 👍 I'm still struggling with the sleep, but I think my body is still adjusting.
You will get there. I've always had trouble sleeping or staying asleep. I've come to terms with waking once during the night on most nights (used to be two) and that has helped relax me about sleeping. I've made several adjustments, the largest one is sleeping in a separate room because my husband snores. I also try to get in bed at the same time every night, surf, read then I fall asleep. I take my sleep very seriously now because of the impact it has on health. If I don't get enough sleep, I want to eat everything, even on LCHF.
You cannot break the laws of thermodynamics just because you went keto.
Lmfao
Thermodynamic says it’s an isolated body. Our body is a complex biological machine and not an isolated environment. You can just apply these laws directly
Thanks Dr Berry. Watch all your videos. I am brand new to keto. 2 weeks now. Going great. You are a true source of knowledge for me. Lost 15 lbs so far and off 1 blood pressure medicine, my long acting insulin already. My numbers have never been this good in 15 years. I was 270 to start and want to get down to 180. Keep the videos coming.
My new favorite channel! Love this guy. Day 3 carnivore diet and I cannot believe how amazing i feel. Digestion ia great. Mood ia great! No more sweets cravings. Cant wait to share my weighoss results as they happen.
Thankyou! I struggled with weight loss all my life....joined weight watchers several times only to gain the weight back.
But being in a caloric deficit also works as means to losing weight for lots of people.
But this causes the body to hold onto fat by lowering the metabolic rate. So you will gain everything right back as soon as you go to a more normal eating pattern.
Suzanne Dallape that’s why you use diet breaks slowly go back to maintenance. People gain the weight back because they go back to eating how they were.
Hey Doctor Kenny, I'm so happy for your channel... you are absolutely the Best 😎
love the information
Finally someone addresses the Krebs cycle!!!
I changed my diet last September to keto I kept my kcals roughly the same 4500\5000 but just changed my macro's I lost 40lb in 10 weeks and in the process feel 10 times better more energy I'm sticking to this way of life love it . Totally agree with what your saying great video thanks 😁
I started keto on January 5th and I've lost 6.7 lbs so far. I was getting frustrated by all the information I was given and how expensive it was going to be until I stumbled on your video about cheap keto and how hot dogs and mustard are better than not eating keto. I have been counting my macros and calories religiously because I was under the understanding that I had to eat at a caloric deficit and keep my macros in a particular ratio of fat:protein:carbs or I wouldn't lose weight. It has been stressing me out a little and people that don't count on keto seem to lose just as much weight. Thanks for making these videos, I've learned a lot and it's helping me change my life.
Thanks for the info Dr.Berry
Totally agree! After doing keto for the last year and losing 50lbs without counting or tracking a dang thing or any crazy exercise this could not be more true!! The calorie myth is a great book to read regarding this!
Thankyou so much for your videos .
I'm just starting out doing keto and have been baffled by the maths of it all till I watched you video on can you eat too much fat?
This put my mind at rest.
I'm doing keto to loose some weight but also hopefully help treat my epilepsy and reduce pain levels from my fybromialgia.
I have done so many low fat diets in the past also slimming world and yes I lost weight but god! I was hungry all the time and slimming world encourage you to fill up on pasta and carbs . They also allowed you to eat a lot of processed food that there was no way good for you.
Then a friend mentioned keto to me last week as I was already looking into going sugar free.
So I looked it up and watched your videos and started it about 4 days ago . Already I have stopped craving junk and only need to eat a couple of times a day . I don't wake up starving for breakfast either now.
I've noticed after the first couple of days my pain levels had dropped because I was no longer consuming sugar and junk.
I will weigh myself at the end of the week and see what has happened.
I've absolutly loved being able to
Put full fat foods in my shopping trolley.
The difference in sugar amounts in the full fat compared to low fat or fat free is crazy.
We are always being told fat is bad but sugar is the one we should worry about.
Keep making the videos , they are so helpful !
emma bridges , yes it's amazing how we can eat the stuff that was told bad for us and actually lose weight, and the stuff we taught was good harm is, I started in late October to December 9,n list 30lbs, relasp on the holidays and just started back but really only gained 5lbs back n feel like crap.
If your trying to lose weight I wouldn’t eat slot of fat just enough till your body tells you too because your going to be burning more of consuming fat then the body fat. Your going to start seeing results but first it’s water weight
I withstood the holiday season. I lost weight instead of gaining with intermittent fasting and fasted training. I still enjoyed eating what I want but in moderation. I'm learning a lot from your videos.
I just love the way you put things!
It explains so much better why I’ve tried and failed so bad all the diets I tried in my life. I was counting calories and writing them down like a nut job. Now I do intermittent fasting (24h 3x a week) and I’ve never felt better.
I still want to drop some pounds, about 10 or so... but finally I see that it is possible.
Thanks so much.
Here in Brazil people are still scared of IF. I don’t mind. I educated myself reading and watching CZcams videos like this.
I don't count calories I count carbs. Stay under 15 per day and the weight loss is amazing. I've lost 22 pounds on keto since January first
Jason hi... do you stay under 15 g carbs total or net? I'm wondering if you incorporate the leafy veggies such as Dr Berg recommends to avoid potential fatty liver....?
I do not count fiber. I did not type that out correctly though. I stay under 15g of carbs per day minus fiber. Sorry for the confusion. I dont worry about fatty liver.
And I would bet that didn't work for you in the long run .The only way to lose weight/fat is from a calorie deficit . While keto is one of the healthiest ways of eating no argument there .Eating super High fat and not keeping track of calorie intake back fires for most people after that initial 20 to 30 lbs loss. Good luck though and I hope you lost more that the 20 lbs water weight by now
Theresa McDowell did you what that video?
Jason That is really good advice actually. Don’t count calories. Just count carbs. Cutting down on wheat and sugar will reduce inflammation so much it’s unbelievable.
Thank you for this video. I am sick of people saying calories matter even as I lose weight consistently !
This is THE BEST!!!
I love watching your videos. Have you made one about tracking macros? I hear/see a lot of conflicting information about whether to track, what the best apps are, how long one needs to track, etc.
Love your vlogs. Keep them coming :)
What do you think about "net carbs?" Like chia or flax seeds, almond flour, coconut flour ground up to make pancakes or keto breads.
Yes please address this Doc! So interested in your take on this.
Yes please address this Doc! So interested in your take on this.
Yes, I want to know too Dr. KenDBerry
That make all of us wanting to know:) Net carb vs total carbs?
Net carbs is all that matter
Doc this advice is sound for obese or morbidly obese people. Buf for us who have lost the weight, are not obese and have stalled what do you recommend?
Also why do we gain weight if we overeat?
sslilac I’m not a doctor but I’ve done my research. We gain when we over eat because of the carbs/sugar we put in our body. Like what he mention here on Keto diet or carnivore diet you don’t have to count calories .. but on other diets were you consume carbs then you have to count calories to lose weight..
I am another physician with a different opinion. Calories are still useful for determining an upper threshold of intake above which fat loss will either be stunted or will not occur. It also works well for people who use flexible dieting. Personally, I pay more attention to protein and fiber intake while keeping calories constant, and I've lost 16 pounds doing that. Some people still enjoy the occasional brownie sundae and keep their weight in check, all thanks to tracking caloric intake.
-Dushyant S. Mann, M.D.
Great info!
He rocks back and forth in his chair with too much energy, I wish I had his energy! :+)
I’ve lost 50 pounds counting calories.. so it definitely works.
I been on Keto 3 months, and until I took the fat down a level, and counted calories did the weight start coming off sigh
I mean, yeah, of course its going to work and take off the weight. But a ton of people, after losing that weight will eventually go back to their old ways. And some people starve themselves just to lose the weight and that isn't sustainable. Eventually the weight will be put back on. I do eye my calorie intake but if I get up to 2,000-3,000 calories I'm still losing weight. Everyone is different so do what works for you and what you're comfortable with. Congrats on the weightloss though!
Probably because you ate healthier

@@christinsongbird I am your bird
These videos are music to my ears. Thank you!
God bless you Dr Berry. You have never steered us wrong.
I will have you know I have lost 20 pounds as of yesterday! I can do this.
I've never counted calories. Too damned confusing. I focus on serving portions related to my body appearance. It's worked for me 50+ years. Still lean and mean, muscle machine...
Great video Dr. Berry. (careful of the AMA)
It's literally 3 macronutrients lol.
Your titles are great, love your bright ideas too!
I heard something similar on an old KetoConnect podcast yesterday(not with this depth), but it's great to hear it come from an actual MD.
I use them as a way to track intake. It’s not a perfect system, but I’ve had good results with it. Managing energy balance is they key to me getting very lean or not too fat on a caloric surplus. Just one person’s opinion and experience.
This is my favorite CZcams video of all time. Thank you
Lol thanks
Thanks for changing lives! 😊
GREAT JOB DR. KEN. KEEP IT GOING.
Sry guys
But what's about people who are not overweight and don't have insulin resistance?????
Weight normal but still want to lose body fat ?
Good question...I need that too?!?!
I tried Intermittent fasting for 6 months and maybe lost a little weight, but I was working out at the same time. Certainly not nearly the level of weight loss achieved that this guy is suggesting will come. I did 16 hour fasting/8 hour feeding window and was pretty damn consistent with it. I came to the conclusion I was not reducing my calories enough.
I've tried IF and my body doesn't like it. I can't sleep on it. I need to space my meals out and I feel alot better
Enjoying your book, "Lies My Doctor Told Me". Thank you, thank you, thank you for writing such a great book. This is the most important book about health I've ever read. Keto Way of Eating is making me feel and look younger. The weight is coming off, but the big surprise is how much my health has improved.
Thank you for this very important information Doc👍🏻
Amen to weight watchers..didn’t work for me
Any possibility of doing a video on how quickly we loose weight on Keto-Paleo and rebuttals we can give to “concerned” friends and family members?
michelle cope so in my experience when it comes to "concerned" family or friends I just tell them to do some research without being confrontational and tell them it's working for me and countless of people.
Also you will never convince anyone no matter what you tell them unless they are open minded.
I always just reply with I’m just enjoying my veggies and proteins while mentally adding up their carbs for them.
System Of A FoX right, I work with nurses, and they just don't understand, lol
It's hilarious when they say it's just water weight then you pass 10 to 20 to 60 to 80 lbs... That sure sounds like water weight lol
Keep getting the message out there! You are amazing!
Love you Dr Berry!!!
I watch Jason Whittrock on CZcams and he’s been saying calories in/calories out is complete bull. He did a 4,000 cal a day for 21 days challenge. He lost body fat and weight in that 21 days... hmmmmm 🤔
Aliya Tudor But he also has a huge muscle mass, and works out a lot! ;)
Sir Setherton he has the body of a Greek God. ☺️
It was a neat experiment, but I think it's a little more complicated (I lost 150lbs keto and am maintaining ideal body weight, btw) than he gives it credit for. JW is a freakin' genetic anomaly I think, or at least has highly attuned his body to using those calories - he was an athlete as a youth and that already sets up your body for different metabolic adaptations for life. Matt from KetoConnect did the same challenge and gained a *bit* of weight and looked bloated as heck. So hmm is right!!
Aliya Tudor I agree with you on that one!
C F I haven’t watched the Keto Connect’s version of the challenge. I work out pretty hard 5-6 days per week and if I eat a lot of food for a few days, I’ll blow up. Everyone is so different!
Started keto, pants got loose after one week
Another great video! I have reached this set point weight range of 2 pounds. I switch up what I eat, and the calories each week. Seems to be the same. To me, no grains, no sugars, no artificial sugars, no diet sodas and limited berries just works.
Wow! Your subbies are exploding! Congrats! Sarah
So happy I found this today! I was frantically trying to fix my macros so I wasn't over 100 calories for the day. I am not going to worry now.
Is it OK to strength train while living a Quito life
Lori Dupuy yep, check out Ketogains for specific tips
I was wondering what you think of salted canned spinach. Its one of my favs. I'm a trucker and have limited capability on storage of veggies
Kenneth Burns if that’s what’s available for you, eat it and enjoy it. I eat frozen spinach. Spinach has potassium and fiber, and the sodium is great for keto.
Many thanks for your hours on the road. Much respect to truckers, sir.
I love canned spinache! I splash on some white vinegar - no idea why, my Grammy did it that way, and so that makes it a must in my home.
He has said in another video not to use canned. But I agree, if that's all you have available, it's better than McDonald's!
@@cinnamongirl3070 I agree...
Spinach is very high in oxalates so I personally wouldn't have any!
I’ve always wanted to see a study where identical twins eat 2000 calories every day for a year, one twin eats brownies and muffins and the other twin eats steak and eggs and compare the physiques
I think it would open people’s eyes
I can't stand measuring and weighing food so have always felt doomed as far as weight loss goes because I just can't do it! Thankyou for this video!
