It took me 7 years to start
By: Hannah C
My name is Hannah and I’m one of Dr. Eric Berg’s virtual assistants for 6-7 years already. Before, I was just reading and checking all these success stories. Now, I am happy to share my short keto and IF personal success story and before and after images.
I live in the Philippines where people would eat 3 meals a day, every meal with rice – plus "merienda" or snacks. I’m never really conscious about my health even when I started working with Dr. Berg, I still wasn’t convinced to change my very unhealthy lifestyle. Juggling motherhood and work, I depended on caffeinated energy drinks and coffee – 7-8 cups every day.
I watched Dr. Berg’s video about the “7 Things Your Face Tells You About Your Blood Sugar” – and that eventually changed my mind about everything. I felt like he was describing my current body situation..
So, in December 2021, I started keto and IF, I felt really great, water retention has been reduced quickly, my energy is extremely high, sleep quality is better, still no cravings and hunger.
I lost 6 kgs super fast. My stomach area is getting smaller and smaller every day. Just like what Dr. Berg said, “The best indicator of success is your waist circumference, measure your waist and that should be shrinking if you are doing this correctly”.
I did not deprive myself of anything because I don’t have hunger or cravings - I just trust the process that took me 7 years to start. Haha. This, only with a small tweak on my diet, like I stopped caffeine-related drinks, especially coffee, and of course, no rice.
My morning breakfast would be just supplements and green tea - vitamin B complex, evening primrose oil, sea kelp
Lunch at 2 PM: I ate more kimchi, lettuce, white onion, eggplant, broccoli, bacon strips, chicken fillet.
No dinner but I would drink my holy grail, of course, my beloved Green tea with lemon and vitamin D3 (20,000IUs) - theee best! I did not suffer from keto flu – and my journey is really smooth and easy.
I’m lucky that I get to be reminded every day on how to do it correctly – just trust the process. Don’t stress yourself with your weighing scale because weight loss will just follow but the benefits of doing keto and IF are beyond measures! And yes, Keto and IF work wonders!
I still have a long waaaaay to go but I'm really really really happy :)
Thank you Sir Eric! :)
