Paul Lost 105 Pounds and Transformed His Life with Keto

How did you discover keto? 

I first discovered Dr. Berg in June of 2017! He has given me the knowledge to save and transform my life. I started watching Dr. Berg’s videos in June and July of 2017. For some reason, I just wasn’t quite ready to get better then, I guess. But the seed was planted. 

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

I gained even more weight after that by eating exactly how I shouldn’t be eating and how he didn’t advise me to— a diet full of carbs, cereals, all the refined flours. I reached 250 pounds. The highest weight I’d ever reached.  

So, in January of 2018, I started doing extensive research into Dr. Berg’s way of eating. I had to try something. 

Throughout life, I was “normal-sized” for the most part…until I reached my mid to late 20’s. Then marriage came, and I quit losing weight from sheer running around. I became less active, and the weight started to add up. 

When I got into my 40’s, I was getting very close to 275-300 pounds! I tried dieting on and off over the years, but all I kept doing was yo-yoing up and down. Now that I have found keto and intermitting fasting, I do not foresee that happening anymore.  

What did your diet look like prior to adopting keto? 

I think just getting caught up on living my normal life is what led to my weight gain, not being educated on bad foods and also consuming too much beer did not help matters. Eating and snacking have always been a normal way of living for me and pretty much everyone around me. 

Over time, I tried every crazy diet idea over the years. I once did a Raisin Bran and Cheerios diet with fat-free milk. Funny thing is, I would lose weight, but it was never a sustainable diet. I also would do low-fat diets and avoid bad carbs, but I never realized how sugar was the problem, not just carbs. I know so much more now from following Dr. Berg and keto. 

How does an average day of eating/fasting look for you on keto? 

My first small steps into keto eating—or, at least, thinking about a low-carb approach to health was when a friend of mine told me to stop adding sugar to my coffee after I was hitting a weight loss plateau about a year ago. He also told me that he was on a keto diet. So, when I went on YouTube and typed in “sugar toxicity,” I somehow happened upon Dr. Berg. 

As far as cheating goes, drinking and partying are my weaknesses. I’ve always enjoyed socializing with a glass of wine or beer or two. Sometimes more. So, my biggest weakness is social gatherings with alcohol and unhealthy foods and snacks. But luckily, the few times I have cheated, I have usually felt sick for a few days afterwards, so my desire to cheat is going away. 

How has your health improved since you started keto?   

Now that I have put Dr. Berg’s info to work, I have lost 72 pounds in the past 23 weeks. So, total weight loss over the past three years has been 105 pounds.  

Even my sleep is so much better. I also had a weird condition of red blemishes on my feet, which has completely gone away since I started keto and IF. My energy and focus are so much better. 

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

If I were to give anyone advice on how to go into the keto/IF program with Dr. Berg and really succeed based on my own personal experience, I would tell them this: This is not a weight loss diet! It’s a life TRANSFORMATION DIET.  

Any other details you want to share?   

I tell everyone who will listen to Dr. Berg and his amazing info.  I currently have a Facebook group that has 61 members, and I am trying my best to spread this life-transforming information to as many of my family and friends as possible. I share as much info and videos from Dr. Berg. His message is getting to so many people, and he is saving so many lives. God bless him.
