You turned me on to keto. I've never looked back.

My biggest problem is my family history, both of my parents had bypass surgery at some point. My father eventually died of a heart attack. I am 5'7'' tall. 2 years ago, I weighed 218 pounds and my blood pressure was coming in at 145-155 / 90. This in spite of a very athletic lifestyle that included kickboxing and long-distance bicycling. I somehow found your channel and started following your advice. In 2 months, I was down to 190 pounds but more importantly my BP had dropped to 122 / 78 consistently. At this point I added 16 / 8 intermittent fasting and stayed low carb but not strictly keto. 6 months later I had blood work at my Dr's and my LDL had dropped 20%. I went for a precautionary stress test and aced it. Then COVID hit. I did nothing and drank too much alcohol for a while (my business, event production has been shut down since the beginning and depression was winning the battle). By December, I was back up to 203 pounds. I went back on Keto / IF and dropped back down, this time to 187 pounds. My BP is still optimal. Most importantly you changed my outlook. I have read books by Dr. Jason Fung and others to round out my knowledge and it's become my lifestyle. You may very well have saved my life 2 years ago. Thanks Dr Berg.
