How did you discover keto? 

Honestly, I accidentally stumbled upon Dr. Berg’s keto video, and this was the first time I learned about it. 

What challenges were you experiencing before starting keto? 

My diet was a carb “palooza”; basically, carbs for breakfast lunch and dinner, and of course snacks in between. I was overweight. My height is 6’1”, and I weighed 255 lbs. 

What results and changes have you noticed since starting keto? 

Drastically, I started keto in October. I lost 75 lbs. since.  My LDL and HDL have improved, I’m no longer at risk of prediabetes, I don’t experience sleep apnea anymore, I feel great, like I’m in my early 20s. 

What does a typical day of eating (and fasting, if applicable) look like for you now? 

I’m on OMAD. I eat around 4 pm. I eat leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, eggs, red meat, sauerkraut (organic, unpasteurized), pumpkin seeds, L. reuteri yogurt, 2 squares of 90% chocolate, and a cup of blueberries. 

Does exercise play a role in your success on keto? If so, how? 

I do intense exercise 3 times a week, and occasionally go on 7 km walks. 

If you could offer advice to someone starting keto, what would you say? 

What is your favorite keto recipe from Dr. Berg? 

I like Dr. Berg’s bread recipe. I also started using L. reuteri yogurt in my diet after watching Dr. Berg’s video featuring Dr. William Davis. 

Any other details you want to share? 

Dr. Berg helped me understand insulin resistance through his videos and I lost 75 lbs. 

I would like to thank Dr. Berg for all his work and his videos. Because of his work, I found good motivation, and that changed my life!
