Jeongah Lost 45 Pounds in 3 Months with Keto After Failed Diets 

Did you have any problems with your weight or health before going on keto? 

After being told I was prediabetic, my doctor made the typical suggestions of exercise and a low-sugar, low-fat diet with plenty of vegetables. I joined a gym and exercised vigorously. I even hired a personal trainer. I ate salads, drank plenty of water, and watched calories like people usually do. I lost a bit of weight, but only after torturing myself harshly. I could not keep it up, and when I burned out, I felt guilty for giving up. That kind of program was not realistic for me and only gave me extra stress.  

How did you discover keto? 

My work as a respiratory therapist in a busy hospital requires highly focused energy. Like most hospital employees, I relied on sugar and caffeine to keep me going. But I ended up gaining weight and always felt more tired at the end of my shifts. I had to find another way to lose weight and found Dr. Berg, which marked a big turning point in my knowledge of health. I watched almost all of his YouTube videos. 

 I did not follow his instructions right away. I could not accept the idea that butter and animal fats could be good for dieting. “Huh. Are you kidding me?” After I studied a lot about the ketogenic diet, I started following Dr. Berg’s recommendations.  

How has your health improved since you started keto?   

After I started following Dr. Berg’s recommendations completely, I lost 45 pounds in 3 months. It was tough in the beginning. In the first week to 10 days, I had a headache and a mild fever, but I just stuck to his recommendations. I committed myself to following the lessons for 3 months. I won $1,000 in the health challenge at my hospital job. My husband followed my example, and he lost quite a bit of weight, too.  

It has been almost a year, and I am maintaining my weight well. I feel good about myself. Not only have I lost weight, but my skin also looks brighter.  

Any other details you want to share?   

I became more social because coworkers, including doctors and nurses, complimented me and asked me for the secret to losing weight. I told them what I followed and echoed Dr. Berg’s lectures. However, they had trouble believing in Dr. Berg’s ideas and tried to give health advice even though they were overweight. They just wentback to everything they had learned in medical school.  

There are many conflicting ideas about what the healthy way to eat is. I am not the person to debate this controversy or offer definitive proof. I can just show you that my body and my husband’s body are vivid examples of following Dr. Berg’s advice.
