Carol Gibbons|Keto works!

I started Keto three years ago, after researching different nutritional guides from various studies and reports. I really got into it and feel like I learned a lot!! Dr. Berg was a big part of that. I appreciated his calm, soothing demeanor. I wasn't obese, just heavy, achy, unhappy, wondering what the heck I was doing wrong to feel tired and not "living my best life".

Keto, together with Intermittent fasting, was the true answer. It is endlessly adjustable to what an individual might want to tweak it to, as far as fitting into their lifestyle. For instance, I eat one big salad (with a lot of good stuff on it!) and then maybe something light 4 hours later, and then that's it. If you consume more fats, you will stay satiated for much longer than if you are eating less fat and more carbs.

I found that my body just melted like a candle. I also stay fairly active, so that helps too. I lost 30 lbs over about 4 months, then the pandemic hit. I stayed pretty much the same at first, then started to put some of it back on, out of sheer boredom, lack of opportunities to work out the way I had been used to (gyms closed due to the pandemic), but then I got back on track. The gym opened back up, and I am down now an additional 10 lbs using the precepts of Keto and IF. It really is amazing if you actually do it!!!

It's the CARBS, people! We're getting WAY too much of them, and snacking too much as well. The carbs will keep you wanting to eat more, so try to avoid them. They also initiate the insulin response, and all the flooding of insulin, repeatedly throughout the day on a normal standard American diet, tires out the pancreas and eventually may lead to metabolic syndrome. So many Americans now have metabolic syndrome, that there is concern that we are in for a flood of people all having to manage diabetes type II, which is not a good situation to be in. I hope my humble story helps.

I like that Dr. Berg is helpful without being pushy or preachy. The studies are there to back up his info. Good luck to you all!!!
