Life before keto:
Bored with his lifestyle and too young to be on the blood pressure medication his doctor had just prescribed, Sadikk decided to change the way he was eating. While he was looking around the internet for diet plans, Sadikk came across Dr. Berg’s YouTube Channel. In the videos, he learned some major lessons about his health.
“I learnt that medicine is sick care and food is health care,” he explained. “And that we can survive without carbohydrates.”
Sadikk said that trusting Dr. Berg and following his plan was not hard after learning to control cravings. “Keto and intermittent fasting are a life-changing game,” he said, and advised, “Don’t give up for cheat meals and pleasure eating.”
With the support of his wife, Sadikk tries to eat as much organic food as possible. Before keto, his weight-loss attempt consisted of eating lots of fruits and some carbs with a calorie deficit. He said he feels much better after trading all that fruit for 10 cups of vegetables a day and lots of leafy greens. “I learned how fruits cause spikes in fat-storing hormones. I should’ve started with keto.”
Health improvements:
He’s amazed at where he is today: Sadikk now feels relaxed and happy, and he’s 110 pounds (50 kg) lighter after only ten months.
He is no longer taking blood pressure medication, either. Sadikk saw real results, which helped to keep him motivated. “I sleep well now, am happier, and am active,” he says. “I’m still on intermittent fasting and follow a keto diet.”
Favorite ways to exercise:
Shadikk enjoys stretching and low-intensity steady state (LISS) cardio for exercise.
Favorite keto recipes:
Chicken tandoori or egg frittata.
