Seam Ahmed’s Story

Life before keto:

Seam Ahmed described his former life as “physically, mentally, and socially debilitating.” At 309 pounds (140 kg), he was struggling in every way.

“Despising my state of living, I started losing weight in January 2019,” said Seam. “I was severely addicted to sugar and carbs and had a very difficult time.”

Before starting keto and intermittent fasting, Seam followed a typical but damaging eating routine: three full meals and constant snacking until bedtime. He eventually tracked his eating schedule and was shocked by what he discovered. “I ate from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. every day,” he admitted. “I had enough of being sick and tired, so I started one meal a day and keto.”

After starting keto:

The transition wasn’t easy. One of the hardest parts was confronting the truth about his habits. “I was in denial of my food addiction,” Seam shared. “Believe it or not, it doesn’t go away.”

But despite the cravings, he stayed the course — and the rewards began to show.

Health improvements:

In just ten months, Seam lost 122 pounds (55 kg). But for him, the most meaningful benefits weren’t physical. “The best part is clear thinking, no more feeling depressed, so much energy!” he said. “And sleeping like a teenager again — that’s what keeps me motivated. The coolest part? Learning that when you fast, your body triggers amazing internal healing processes.”

Advice for someone starting keto:

“Watch all of Dr. Berg’s videos and apply the knowledge to your life. If you want it — go get it. Make the change for your partner, your kids, your family — and most importantly, for YOU.

“Remember: you only have one life. Live it as the best version of yourself. Don’t spend it in a carb- and sugar-loaded haze anymore.”

Seam’s story is a powerful reminder that true transformation starts in the mind — with honesty, determination, and the courage to change.
