so welcome everyone we have another

great before and after success Victor so

hi Victor how are you hi doctor how are

you good

where do you live now are you in Texas

I’m in Los Angeles California okay great

so Vic I wanted to talk to you a little

bit about where you were before and what

your weight was and what was going on

and then how you transition over because

you you lost a good amount of weight

the pictures were amazing can you tell

me when it all started yeah so initially

um July of last year I was diagnosed

with type two diabetes chronic sleep

apnea high blood pressure high

cholesterol high triglycerides I’m the

whole deal and um I realized at that

point that I had to make a change but it

really wasn’t ready per se right um so I

continued the typical you know I call it

the sad American diet following the

doctors opinions and it wasn’t working

wasn’t doing anything so my uncle he has

been on ketosis at that point going on

two years he’s always mentioned to me

and I’ve seen how he’s I’m gotten better

and reversed his pre-diabetes and all

that and I’m like well I’m already

screwed so what do I have to lose well

it won’t hurt did you have solos at that

time I’m sorry say it again do we you

actually diagnosed with diabetes or was

it a pre-diabetic he was diagnosed with

pre-diabetes what about you I was

diagnosed with full-blown type-2 with

the a1c Club Wow okay yeah so at that

point a1 C was 12 I was 319 pounds I’m

only 5'4 so it was bad why triglycerides

at that time where I believe all my lab

work was thirteen fifty or thirteen

seventy um it was bad yeah Wow

so um Jane were you first is when I made

a commitment as well as my wife

to start keto I did a lot of research

watching your videos and as well as the

large low-carb community and I wanted to

do it by the book strict so 20 grams

total per day protein as a goal and then

fat to satiety you know don’t go

overboard but as long as I’m satisfied

all natural organic I switched from

grain fed to grass-fed beef and butter

pasture-raised eggs no artificial

sweeteners right now we use stevia for

sweetener in our coffee so we just made

a huge change on since then so we’re now

July I am now I checked I weigh myself

every Sunday I’m 192 pounds um my last

month my doctor advised me that my

diabetes has been reversed I have an a1c

of 5.2 I believe or 5.4 one of those two

my triglycerides went from 1375 to a

little over 100 that’s normal

everything’s just improved all my

markers have improved cholesterol is

level it’s normal a dramatic change

that’s a that’s basically a miracle

because in that period of time

that’s like we’re only talking six

months yeah

you lost a hundred more than a hundred

pounds in six months that’s that’s a

record that’s amazing

yeah no exercise well done how do you

think he’ll do you feel more energetic

you know I’m 28 29 this year and I’ve

always even being so young I’ve always

felt sluggish obviously with all that

weight I’d never get a good quality

sleep you know my wife would have to

wake me up because she was afraid that

would stop breathing and I’d be growing

you know gasping for air now you know

it’s a blessing I mean I have never felt

as good as I feel now

I don’t I don’t even think when I was

younger

I thought this way it’s just you know I

can’t even explain how how grateful I am

for my uncle pushing me to learn about

this and and me and my wife being able

to take on this new journey and really

opening your eyes as to how we were

initially intended to eat right yeah you

you uh you’re kind of like me you kind

of waited to the last minute didn’t you

exactly what was your justifier did you

say well I’m young I’ll do it one out

when I get older I’m I enjoy foods like

what we got was going to your mind well

I do have kids and they are young have a

12 year old a nine year old and a one

and a half year old and that was my

biggest motivation I realized that you

know when you’re heavy and you’re sick

you don’t feel good you don’t have the

energy to do things you don’t have

you’re always just tired and so I wanted

to be able to UM get more like get my

life back you know with my health and so

I can be there for my kids and for my

wife and for my family and I had to make

a change and I think

luckily going to the doctor when I did

and learning that I had all these issues

and my wife and my kids were there

listening to all this from the doc from

my doctor at the time is what really

made me think like man if I don’t change

I might not be here longer and the

doctor even said the only reason why

you’re still okay is because of your age

you’re a ticking time bomb

so if you’ll make a change now you might

not be able to you know experience all

these beautiful things in life so that’s

that in conjunction with my family is

what made me wake up how many kids you

have three see I had three kids when I

was 28 as well I hit my bottom you’re

the same timing is like it was I was

exhausted we’d go to the airport fly

somewhere and these kids were exhausting

me they were like oh going this way that

way I’m like I’m so tired have read me a

story at night I’m like I’m too tired

you know

the dragon but yeah it’s like at some

point you shifted and now you need it

you wanted some change a lot of people

are not there actually below help you

try to help them in there they’re not

ready so and I think probably if you

didn’t have a weight problem and didn’t

have a diabetes problem you probably

just keep going and just keep eating the

same thing and it didn’t wake you up so

give me an example of what you eat now

think how many meals you have and what

you eat okay so when I started keto and

back in January I started with three

meals plus snacking which now I’m

nowhere near that I’m now I only have my

coffee in the morning with heavy cream

and a little bit of collagen protein

grass hair collagen in there because I

do have Leah with the excess weight loss

you know loose skin and so I’m trying to

tighten that up and a little bit of

butter and that gets me going from 5:00

in the morning when they start work

until I get home around 2 o’clock and I

had my main meal I have a fatty cut of

meat with some low carb vegetables

sauteed and some good quality olive oil

or grass-fed butter and I’m done

so technically one meal one real meal

and I combine that with intermittent

fasting so that’s it that’s your meal

for the day that’s it Wow

see this is this is a really good this

is a really good example because you

know guys like you you’re a hundred and

ninety two pounds and you’re doing one

meal like people see what people are

scare they’re like oh my gosh I’m going

to be starving I’m going to starving

well your your body is using your own

energy that’s stored it’s using your fat

energy when you’re not eating so you’re

not starving

you look pretty healthy your face

everything a meal it’s amazing Wow well

done so we combine with Norman fasting

and is a 16-8 intermittent fasting and

really the I mean 16 it you’re okay so

your other meals really like the coffee

with the with the collagen right that’s

it that’s it yeah

so that gives your body our huge change

to to reset now are you are you doing

fine with your hunger and cravings very

little cravings at all um I’m real

hungry for the most part my energy is

just it’s crazy amount of energy that I

have with you know just drinking coffee

in the morning with butter and full fat

cream how I’m able to go through the

whole day and sometimes I get home and

I’m like I can do more things and not

even thinking about food do you

eventually get hungry you just eat

because you just have to exactly yeah

yeah like I just don’t get hungry

anymore it’s like well that’s right

after you eat you know it’s weird but

question I have dude do you have anyone

people anyone that has like been

watching you before and then noticed you

and like didn’t even recognize you like

what the heck are you doing other people

other people surprised or what yeah it’s

it’s really amazing my family my my

co-workers at work um they can’t believe

you know in such a short amount of time

I love fry I I’m like I’m totally a

different person um

it’s scary when I when I look at those

pictures I didn’t realize at that time

how bad and how unhealthy I looked and

when I look at myself now I’m a new

person and everyone asks and they can’t

believe they see me eating the stuff

today and they’re like oh that’s so

unhealthy you’re going to call your

arteries and they’re they’re eating you

know typical sad food you know full of

carbs and processed and refined sugars

and you know that’s just what they’ve

been brainwashed to to eat that’s what

they think is good because they’re

quote-unquote doctor says because you

know you know how it is that that’s

that’s the typical s the norm and so

what I do is I just try to I give people

the information I’m like look this is

all personal decision you got to do

what’s best for you do

research first and then you’ll come back

to me later a lot of people like yeah

well you know he’s only been doing it

for six months let’s see him in a year

well they’ll see me in a year those him

you in five years

no medication living a good quality life

so this is a life that I plan to live

for as long as possible so I’m very very

happy and I try to promote this as much

as my egg can and one other big

motivation is my dad he he’s been type 2

diabetic for many many years and um

thank God I was able to go visit him um

this fourth of July weekend and I was

finally able to convince him I cooked

for him every single meal to start

ketosis and he’s now going on two weeks

and he’s already off of metformin that’s

awesome

you know his his doctors you know did

not want him to do this they told him

that he’s crazy that he’s gonna die that

don’t listen to your son that he’s not

this and this and that even though we

provided them with the scientific

research and all this information is

there they just did not want to do it

and he took the risk and he listened to

me because I am proof that it works

there is no a lot of people think that

oh well you’re young so diabetes can

reverse no there is no difference your

when your diet back your diet back it’s

not progressive disease like all these

doctors say it can be reversed with just

food so he is now getting regulated on

his own I’m helping him every day I sent

him recipes or affirm to your recipes

and he’s a very firm believer and so

this is working for him as well

that’s awesome Victor I just want to say

one last thing there’s this business

cannabis movement that’s they’re pushing

there they’re pushing the avoid

saturated fats as the culprit for all

the problems and they’re not really

emphasizing the sugar that’s false data

unfortunately some people are confused

to buy it you take I mean here’s this

another proof there’s another guy who is

eating saturated fats but cutting out

the real culprit which is the sugar

which is behind so many problems insulin

resistance and yet I think now that

you’ve experienced that like until I

think until a person experiences they

won’t have the the true knowledge

knowledge that comes from you have to do

something to get the knowledge you just

can’t believe someone like and then they

go okay this did work and then enough

times it’s like it doesn’t matter what

someone says like I know that works you

know so you have the knowing there so

that’s well done Victor I’m really

amazed at how well you did and you stuck

to it and you just decided so awesome

good job man thank you

well I appreciate that and thanks for

the interview and I think it will

inspire a lot of people that’s the goal

yeah alright well have a great afternoon

okay thank you dr. e to be welcome okay
