hey everyone I have a great interview

for you this is Amit and you’re were you

from right now were you located

so I’m located in Bangalore which is in

India awesome so I wanted to talk to you

because you sent me your before and

after picture it was quite incredible

and I wanted to find out a little bit

about your story can you tell me a

little bit about where you were before

and then what happened to turn around

before you lost the way yeah definitely

so in my early teen age I was pretty

good and then I was slim but when I

started my college is that when I got

lot of fat so it was like eating all day

out junk food I was not kidding about

what I am eating exactly it was whatever

I get most it was fast food and

restoring food so it started in college

time when I was like at the 19 or 20

years of old I got a lot of weight my

weight was around 89 is 92 aswell 92 kg

okay so 92 case how many pounds is that

I think it is around 200 okay Wow yeah I

remember in college we ain’t really

really healthy no I’m being sarcastic

now it was like we had deep fried night

Hormel chili oh my gosh I can’t believe

I actually survived on that we’ve go to

the we were so poor we went to these

these stores that you had these

discounted canned food and buy canned

meat and I’m like what the heck am I

doing with spam and it was bad bad so

that’s that was the start of my thing

too so so you gained all this weight and

then and then what happened so it was

then a time came and I started feeling

unhealthy I did my health checkup but I

found so many issues I had a fatty liver

that was the first symptom how old were

you when you found you had a fatty liver

I was at the age of 23

is amazing yeah did you at school - yes

Wow

so that was scary for me he doctor told

me that I have a fatty liver and he told

me that you have to exercise you have to

stop eating outside food but then I

asked him he what kind of food should I

eat so he said stop outside food stop a

stolen food and start eating healthy

food like brown rice and grains healthy

grains and so on

which really didn’t help me so taking

his feedback I joined the gym I joined

goals then I met a nutritionist she was

a dietician I took her advice she gave

me a meal plan that plan was again seven

meals per day starting from a breakfast

then every to wash they asked me to eat

so initially I lost around 4 to 5 kgs of

great I think that was all water went

all I stopped eating restoring food that

caused me to lose some weight but I was

still around 85 86 for around eight to

seven to eight years and it is recently

within a year when I started following

you I actually got my results down and

most of it is in last 3-4 months when I

actually started going through your

videos and following your guidance

religiously and you search like an

example when you get up in the morning

when’s the first time you eat so I work

in I work for us business but I am in

India so I work in night shift so my

work starts at 7:30 p.m. ist which is 9

a round 9 a.m. est basically so what I

do is I get up around 2:00 p.m. every

day India time all right and then I work

out at 5:00 p.m. 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. ist

time and today I start my work so I fast

for nearly 60

our minimum and before finishing my fast

I workout as advised by you the best

time to do a workout so it also helps me

to get into so now like like few days

back I shared my report with you I was

out of ketosis so what had happened is

my wife was not in town so I was eating

a stolen food and considering the labels

that I had on KFC I tried it but it

kicked me out of the ketosis that was

for sure but I got high CRP levels yes

see we are she reacted protein as an

inflammatory indicator yeah yes and at

the same time you released a video on

CRP so I was not looking at that report

until I saw your video that I have to

look at those indicators so yeah then as

you told me you gave me advice that it

is high in MSG which will have

inflammation in your body so I stopped

it and I fall I got back to the eating

habits that you have told me and today I

did my test and I am back into ketosis

oh that’s great

and like in in India I just talked to

someone in Pakistan and India just just

this morning and both of them said that

there’s a fair amount of starch in India

they give a lot of starches grains rice

right II our that’s exactly that’s

that’s absolutely right

yes a diabetes and thyroid I mean if you

see in my family I have my cousin

brothers and all who think they are

eating critically they go to gym they do

all exercise that they should do but

still they have thyroid there are two

three exams with such examples in my

family itself who has high roid and then

there are one or two my uncle’s who also

have got diabetes Wow so this is my

family itself so I can understand how it

would be and if

where I work there we I work for

Microsoft so in there also we have a few

of my colleagues who have been who have

tyroid and issues with diabetes terrible

and then so give me an example of what

you would eat as your first meal

so my first means is after approximately

five to six hours after I wake up

so after getting up I workout before

ending my fast once I am done with my

workout I wait for another one hour or

so and then I eat my first meal so first

meal would be I include around 500 grams

of mixed vegetables so that would be

christoforous vegetables like broccoli

bell peppers and so on so mix I cook it

in coconut oil as suggested by you so

that is my first meal along with that I

have three ounces of chicken boiled or

sorted and and then I dress it with the

geese that is grass-fed butter that is

my first meal I generally try to keep

one meal only but in case if there are a

day or two in a week where I do two

meals then second meal would be a

smaller meal where I have a whole X 4 to

5 volts and a cheese basically so cheese

has been my partner and after I started

watching your videos on earlier I was

thinking like Jesus is dangerous for

health but then I look looked at my

report the cholesterol has been a 50%

reduction in the cholesterol after

eating the e and you’re not even from

Wisconsin that’s amazing Wisconsin was

they have a lot of cheese there so yes

some people are allergic to lactose

intolerance but I suggest try it cheese

is the higher protein and has good fats

question I have

the quality of food in where you are

from cheese and things I do they use

like hormones do they use a lot of

pesticides like America so uh yeah I

mean we have a branch which are

pasteurized but what I do is a your days

are so I know a farmer who gives me milk

so I generally take it from him and then

my wife makes use at home oh that’s

fantastic

I’m jealous that is awesome that’s

really healthy and then um so you so did

you find that do you go from three meals

to two meals to one meal or how fast did

you go to the one meal a day so it’s

been like initially when I started I if

it was difficult because I always had

cravings for carbs with the sugar but

then after understanding how exactly

body works obviously from your videos

your guidance I started pushing myself

then I came to three meals from three

meals after three weeks I entered into

two meals then I continued to mix for

twelve weeks and now I’m doing one deal

of one meal a day

Wow and do you work out at all what you

do work out is it really intense or is

it a small workout

so uh again I was doing a rest-pause

training that is after I’ve a said I

take a rest of two to three minutes but

then and I used to work out daily it was

not that effective since then I start

after falling your videos I started

doing high-intensity interval training

and that helps me a lot

to burn packs as I am doing workout on a

fasted state it helps me to get into

ketosis also a min last example

yesterday’s example I was out of ketosis

for two days from last 3-4 days I am

eating a proper food but I was still not

into ketosis yesterday I went and I did

a high-intensity interval training for

45 minutes and today morning when I

checked I was into ketosis so that that

helps

out and then you are you finding that

your you’re basically not as hungry as

you were before and you don’t crave as

much not at all I mean it’s like a I

have food but I don’t feel like eating

but I eat because I have to get my daily

calories in yeah I’m the same way I’m

like oh shoot I got to eat now I’m like

I guess like I guess see what happens

then you start eating and then you’re

getting hungry and like because you’re

actually raising the blood Sugar’s a

little bit so that drops and you’re

hungry it’s like you probably would be

especially the people in the morning

they wouldn’t be as hungry if they

didn’t eat as soon as they eat now

they’re hungry two hours later so it’s

kind of like they’re this it’s a trap so

one of my colleague I was talking to him

so he has a diabetes so I asked him why

don’t you do intermittent fasting so he

was like no my doctor has given me pills

I take them I feel better

so I I really collected one of your

video that it would be a sugar which

makes them feel better so I told him I

know a doctor who is very good in this

so three to four of my colleagues have

started actually falling you have seen

new subscriptions coming from them at

least on YouTube they have started

following you and two of my friends they

nearly lost three to four cages after

following your video Wow that’s correct

but and one of them has also got into

ketosis so we when we did this medical

test it ketosis were detected in his

urine so yeah all advice that you have

given is helping us a lot that’s great

that’s great and for those people who

are new to this this video in this

concept I have a lot of other basic

videos you can watch on what to eat the

details there’s a little real summary

book this my new book is not out yet if

the index is being done so it’s another

month but I have a summary book it’s on

my website is if you can probably get

through it in 20 minutes but it’s like

this kind of like telling you here’s

what to eat exactly here’s what to do

but that the two things that people tend

to be

concern with is oh I’m eating all this

cholesterol I’m going to get a heart

attack well no you’re not your body

makes a lot of cholesterol 3,000

milligrams a day that’s the equivalent

of a pound of butter a day 14 eggs or

300 strips of bacon so it’s not your

body will basically make less when you

eat more and it’s just like we’ve been

brainwashed that cholesterol is bad but

what you’re doing is you got into

ketosis now you actually feel what it

feels like and I highly doubt that you

would ever go back to your old ways

because now you know the benefits and

you actually experienced it yes I would

definitely not go see I joined gold’s

gym for event initially 4 to 5 5 6 years

back thinking that they are the one

octopus that I could look out for but

the advance that I got from them was to

eat 5 to 6 meals seven meals plan I mean

what kind of advice are they giving

which is actually not true I mean it

didn’t help me at all and it was it is

so difficult to follow that you have to

prepare those meals pack them take them

with you and all that I mean it is very

difficult in current life I mean how

would you do it that was one thing yeah

I mean like you’re doing one meal a day

are you saving any money to a 1 mil a

day I think so definitely I’m saving a

lot on the supplements as well so when I

started dreaming of the trainer in

Gold’s Gym he told me that you will have

to take the BC SS you’ll have to take

pre-workout you’ll have to take interest

our you’d have to take post-workout

and I used to buy all that but in India

we don’t get genuine supplements so I

used to import it from us every time so

it used to cost me around the you know

of four hundred three hundred four

hundred dollars to you know every month

for four supplements that I am saving

that every month I am not using any

supplement at all it is just it is just

and just old food that I’m eating back

to one meal which which has helped me to

lose my weight I was a 200 lbs as I said

and in

last four to five months since I started

following you yes five to six months

when I started I was looking into your

videos from quite some time but I

actually started following them from

five months and now I wait around 154

LVS about that’s great is your wife

following which is she doing the eating

plan yes so she she recently got

pregnant we got a big order baby and

then she was concerned about how to you

know lose weight because she had got out

of shape so she started falling

intermittent fasting and she also I mean

it’s the food that she cooks for me so

there has not been any issues with the

production of milk I mean she is able to

breastfeed the baby with the diet that

you have told us there is no side

effects at all my baby is also very good

so she is following it and here also

lost around five to six kids a kg in

last six weeks he is going to this slow

she is eating two meals two to three

meals but yeah she is falling

intermittent fasting that’s awesome and

I think if a female is breastfeeding I

think two or three meals is which is

probably a little better just to make

sure you get everything all the

nutrients but the point is that if

someone has midsection weight they need

to do the ketosis and intermittent

fasting together because ketosis you can

still do six meals a day well that’s to

screw that up and then the other thing

is that they want to if you have if you

can’t get out of bed in the morning like

let’s say you lost your vitality or your

energy and you get brain clogged you

just you just do this and it gets better

you get more focus ketosis was basically

for a peptic seizures so anything with

seizures or epilepsy you need to do this

because it actually feeds the brain so

there’s a lot of benefits that go way

beyond just wait

cognitive my skin is better I think you

might have said your skin’s a little bit

better right did you we the one that’s

in yet

I mean what has happened is so I go to

gym so I have the people who workout

with me they are working out from last

five to six years and they have a good

physique but then the way they saw my

transformation from last five to six

months now they are coming to seek

advice from me that happened actually

two of them very good body builders a

professional they are doing it from long

time they come and ask me now hey what

is your diet plan can you tell us I’m

trying hard to lose a the fat but I am

not able to do it but I see that you

have done some magic that you have

drastically lost it in last five to six

months so what is exactly that you have

done so I told them that I am into

ketosis so they say is it good for your

body are you sure I said yeah it is I

mean I’m doing it from five six months

and I haven’t seen a face any problem so

they were like one of my friend did it

and he got constipation so he had to go

to doctor to take medications to get out

of constipation I said you go to youtube

and follow dr. Burke he he is the one

who might follow and you will get good

results is what I have said told them

yeah yeah because you know you there’s a

lot of different aspects you need to

know what to do you know if you get

constipation keto flu whatever there’s

handling for everything because when you

switch yourselves over to this new

machine it actually requires a little

more of certain nutrients so you got to

understand the whole picture even the

dietitians that are critical of this

diet I know they don’t even understand

it so when I explain it to someone I

before I tell them what to do I tell

them why it works right sure they really

get that data versus just blindly

following an eating planet they don’t

understand it conflicts with everything

else they’ve done they might not do it

so that’s why the videos are important

but yeah my whole thing is giving people

the truth on how to burn fat so they

have the tools now so it’s not a matter

of believing someone

but experiencing it knowing it’s true

and then being them I have that tool if

you need to lose weight or you know if

you want to eat which you want that’s

fine but least you know how to undo it

if you mess up right so a keto has taken

a lot of you know attention nowadays but

there are many people who advise on

Tito’s even I was you know if I go and

search on Google or YouTube to find

anything related to Kito’s I will find

lot of videos but they are not that easy

to follow and what this is not actually

true unless I see what you tell us

I have followed that and have

experienced that and I have got the

results so I know that whatever you tell

is true and you go very detailed in

explaining what it exactly is others

don’t do that they will just read and

they’ll reiterate it to us but the

videos that you have are very detailed I

have given it to my friends I have you

know referred my friends to subscribe to

your channels and they are also finding

it very useful

I remember one instance one is DC how do

you know the timings when to release the

videos you are at a point I mean I I did

my test and I found High Sierra P and

then you are releasing a video on

c-reactive protein the other day a

couple of months back my wife was

dealing with a after pregnancy effect

like you were getting hair fall she was

getting hair loss and then you will use

the video about why do you get the hair

loss for pregnancy and then she started

taking metal root so I have a secret

camera I’m watching you and just saying

of problems you run into and quickly

create that video and then I release it

yeah I mean it makes you become as I

mean it makes you it makes us feel you

as a family doctor like you are looking

I mean yes you you have a something that

you’re observing us and then you are

helping us out on every situation

that is what is happening

and then you make us give that I read

most of the comments and we I have a lot

of comments on a lot of videos but I

just get feedback to see what people

want to know more about so that’s where

I get the ideas for the videos so yeah

so enough people are interested I’ll do

a video on that but but I’ll you know

people say well how do you release two

videos a day how do you come up with the

material I mean one video alone could

take me ten hours of research I’m

talking like five minutes of a video so

I’m not just like throwing them out

there I’m like really going through to

make sure that the data is correct and

then put it out there versus uh just put

out a bunch of crap and I think I

appreciate you noticing that and be are

grateful to you I mean I don’t know how

to thank you for the things that you are

doing it is really helping and in

country like India of where our staple

food comes mostly from cups and then if

you look at a proper food if I go my

hometown and I ask my mom to make a food

she will rip the food that I’ll have

will be mostly on cups it will be rice

then we call something as Indian bread

they are also made of wheat and then

vegetable is we mostly include potatoes

everywhere so that is how it has been

and exchanging our mindset to follow

kita right is very difficult but your

videos make it really easy to understand

you do affinity it like anyone would

understand it I mean a non medical

background guy is also able to

understand what you talk I mean I can

advise my friends now on diabetes that’s

how it has been I’m glad you like that

yeah I try to explain it to a

seven-year-old so I can really break it

down not assuming that you know anything

just trying to give you the basics but

hey this is a great interview and I want

to thank you for your great success

story and so I’m glad we can do it in

your car and it worked out fine it’s

totally fine thanks to you doctor all

credit goes to you on my transformation

you have literally saved my life I mean

I had a fatty liver I had so many issues

I can’t tell you I can’t explain those

on video calls but I had so many

complications within going going within

me but now when I look at myself the way

other compliment me it has been amazing

I mean it is very difficult for people

like us who do a sedentary job I am a

computer engineer so I am always on in

front of my computer sitting and doing a

brain work there is no manual physical

activity that I actually do and the

eating habits as well so all credit goes

to you on the transformation that I have

done thank you thank you and my wife

also wants to say you thank you because

she is also off great has I mean it is

helping her also also moving so I

appreciate that

I had one request if you can make a

video on how to build muscles I mean it

most of your videos have been where you

we lose fat and it is very effective but

if you can give some you know tips on

how to build muscles while being in

Quito I’ll tell you what I’ll release at

tomorrow I already did it I just didn’t

really say yes so I was waiting for you

to request it now release it tomorrow

okay great thanks so much thank you sure

have a good one

okay fine
