Life before keto:
After Julio’s father learned that he had a tumor in his ear, he started researching how changing his diet could help his overall health. That’s when he found keto and Dr. Berg.
He told his son about the lifestyle, and as a result, Julio decided to join his father on this journey. They kept each other accountable.
After starting keto:
Julio and his father eliminated all sugars and carbs from their diet–in fact, the hardest part of keto for him was cutting out his favorite potato chips. “I used to love potato chips,” he said. “But the best part was seeing how fast I lost weight once my body was in ketosis.”
Although he wished he had started keto sooner, the progress Julio was making pushed him to keep going.
Dr. Berg’s videos were also encouraging. From those videos, he learned to always maintain a positive mindset when it comes to health. And he learned how to read the labels on the food that he buys.
Health improvements:
In a span of five months, Julio lost 100 pounds (45 kg) and has kept them off with keto and exercise.
“Before, I felt slow and tired, and now I feel great after getting rid of all that weight,” he said. “I’m faster and stronger than I have ever been.”
Advice for someone starting keto:
He advised, “Adopting a healthy lifestyle is the best gift you can give to yourself. Ketosis will make you feel and look great.”
Favorite ways to exercise:
Julio enjoys doing pull-ups, chest exercises, and arm curls.
Favorite keto recipe:
“Hands down, it’s the cauliflower pizza,” said Julio. “Being a New Yorker, it is an awesome feeling being able to go home and make your own pizza.”
