Ms

I am a Zimbabwean lady, aged 42. And I found out about the keto diet through my doctor who put me on the diet after finding out through blood tests that my blood sugar levels were too high. At first, I resisted as the keto diet goes completely against our cultural way of eating which is very high carbs and I was already comfortable and used to eating a lot, especially at dinner time. I realize that I probably had this high sugar problem or prediabetic for a while but it did not show because I would exercise almost daily before the pandemic. A year of lockdown and no exercise probably exposed this condition and I must say that it was a really tough time for me battling the high blood sugar effects especially being in Africa where the health facilities and medication is really expensive and most doctors are happy to just prescribe medication. I was really blessed to get a doctor who did not straightaway put me on medication but instead introduced me to keto. After I realized that this was a life or death situation, I decided to fight for my life and make every lifestyle change necessary to change my situation. I watch so many of Dr. Berg's videos and absolutely understood what was happening to my body and what I needed to do. I am so grateful for this man. God bless you, Dr. Berg. I have been on keto for 1 month and I feel absolutely great. The dizziness, heart palpitations, low energy, and confusion are completely gone. I lost a ton of weight and look younger and fresher. Thank God. I am currently doing intermittent fasting and exercise, will drink my apple cider and lemon first thing in the morning and then later my herbal teas before my first meal at 12. My biggest challenge has been eating dinner on time. Thank you, Dr. Berg. Lots of love, Mercy
