Natural Bodybuilding Transformation with Keto: My Journey

Hi Dr. Berg,

First off, I’d like to thank you for all that you do — helping and educating people who want to better themselves in every way possible. I watch your videos every day, and I learn something new every day. I share your videos with family and friends, and they are blown away. I am humbly thankful and wish you were my actual family doctor. God bless you!

Me and My Success Story (and Ongoing Goal)

Age: 29 years old
Height: 6’1″

  • June 1, 2016 — 255 lbs, 30–40% body fat
  • May 1, 2017 — 200 lbs, 9–11% body fat

I am looking to enter a bodybuilding competition on June 10, 2017. I am all natural, with no synthetic steroid use. It’s all ketogenic and daily training.

From June 2016 to September 2016, I cleaned up my diet by cutting out junk food, avoiding overeating, and quitting alcohol.

I heard about the ketogenic diet in July 2016 and began studying it. Upon in-depth research, I decided to give it a go in September — and I have been keto ever since.

My training and dieting have been entirely self-directed, with guidance from your videos and other great resources such as Primal Edge Health.

I work in a supplement store where we sell products to support general health, bodybuilders, and athletes. I understand the potential risks of bodybuilding competitions and how they can stress the body. But I want to inspire people and help prove that it’s possible to better yourself when you truly commit — not just for bodybuilding, but for general health.

Thank you again, Dr. Berg.
