so welcome everyone we have another

great interview from Jennifer from

Vancouver British Columbia hi Jennifer

hi dr. Berg good to see ya

so can you tell us a little bit about

your story I think you mentioned that

you’ve had a history of being overweight

right yes I’ve been overweight my whole

life pretty much and until I was 16 17

then I decided I need to do something

about it

so I just exercised and didn’t eat junk

food at that time but I lost about 20

pounds but then after high school I

gained it all back

so around when I was 20 I had a personal

trainer who trained me for five days a

week two hours every day and that time I

was literally eating nothing like I

pretty much started myself so I lost a

lot of weight but then I told myself

that it’s not the lifestyle I want so

then I kind of just dropped my personal

trainer and did my own thing and I was

eating healthy and exercising moderately

but then yeah I started to gain a little

bit of weight back but I was okay with

it like I was comfortable but until I

was 24 I went partying in Vegas for

three nights and that’s when my body had

a really bad meltdown and then ever

since that I gained 20 pounds on to that

trip and then the pounds kept on packing

on packing on and then eventually I said

to myself I’m not gonna look at the

scale anymore so three years later I

decided to join the gym and then I was I

found that I gained 60 pounds so I was

in complete shock so you usually even

recognize that you you need to realize

you gained that much weight no I knew I

was gaining weight but I told myself I

knew I need to be healthy in order to

lose weight because I was already

watching your videos yeah Wow amazing I

think that’s coming for a lot of people

that overweight you know you you look at

some people that are really overweight

and you wonder why would someone let

them get that far but

when I talk to them they don’t even

realize they’re that big sometimes I

remember one lady said I was walking

through the mall and I saw a shadow of

myself and I just freaked me out they

just didn’t even look in the mirror so

that’s interesting this the awareness

isn’t quite there I think one therapy be

to look at yourself in the mirror every

day right that would be what that would

work yeah so so here you are you you

started watching the videos and then

that would happen at that point I came

across the first video which was the

four body types and I’ll say oh there I

am and that’s I were type because I

gained weight evenly everywhere like

first I gained it in my face like I can

tell I can’t even hide it that’s the

problem so I just kept on watching the

videos I tried to do what you said but

then I always had a sweet tooth so I had

two happy cert after every meal it was

just a part of me like every meal I was

looking forward to dessert and then I

think I got really depressed last

Christmas and I need to do something and

then every Christmas my friends would

buy me like boxes and boxes of

chocolates and I will eat them all and

New Year’s Eve night I went home and

then I ate the last piece of chocolate

and I’m like this is the last piece of

chocolate I’m ever eating like tomorrow

is a new start and then for me if I’m

determined I drop everything cold turkey

and I started right away so that’s how

it got started

Wow and so so what we read what wait

were you at your peak oh it was 231

pounds I remember and so then you

started and tell me what happened at

that point when you got really serious

first I just started to do the three

meals and then after not very long I’ll

say I only need two meals and I started

to get really creative with the keto

recipes like for me I I’m not a person

to eat bland meal

so I like to be creative so I started to

mix and match and yeah I was really

happy to be eating bacon and eggs

because I didn’t eat that before yeah

and they just did you start losing

weight at that point yes but I didn’t

really weigh myself that much because

weight doesn’t matter to me

as long as I’m feeling good and fitting

into my clothes so I think the first two

and a half three months I already lost

15 pounds Wow Wow that’s pretty good and

then at that point did you also include

any exercise or just the eating um I try

to exercise but then I don’t want like

my weight loss be based on exercising so

I just like I listen to you outside

rather have more arrests and exercise my

butt off at the gym so I would go for

walks and occasionally workout wow isn’t

it funny how like some people will say

well I’m gonna eat what I want

I’ll just exercise more when exercise

only contributes like 15 percent of your

total gains and they just end up not

really going anywhere so what so how

much did you eventually what’s your what

was your best weight after you lost it

like my best weight now or I’m just

under 190 now I just made it like 40

pounds that’s great that’s awesome thank

you and so how was your how was your

other health like symptoms like you have

any issue with energy now do you feel

better

focus anything else that you’re feeling

oh definitely I used to have like

headaches all the time and I would think

that oh I’m getting a cold or I’ll just

sleep it off but then I watched one of

your videos about the gallbladder and I

realized ah that’s why I’ve been having

headaches all my life but now I haven’t

had a headache since January first I

guess Wow Wow

so are you how many meals are you doing

per day right now

two or sometimes even one and a half and

when’s your first meal usually around

noon 12:00 or 1:00 o clock okay do you

still have those cravings like you did

before

oh no no cravings at all wow that’s

that’s a miracle right there cuz you

used to be highly addictive right yeah

Wow and then so what would you eat for

your first meal Oh usually I’ll have

like a kale shake or salad and then I’ll

have some cauliflower pizza which I

learn from you yeah that’s my favorite

or I’ll make myself a keto burger sounds

good I love it and then so you’ll go

when’s you’re gonna be your next meal

after that either six or seven yeah so

I’ll have like a six to eight hour

eating window good and then what would

you eat at that point um sometimes

usually a little bit lighter meal

because I don’t really feel like eating

that late so maybe like another shake or

more salad and some protein and fret

right and are you finding that your

hunger is less oh definitely

well yes so you probably could just go

like yeah I can go longer if I wanted to

so you don’t have that blood sugar dip

thing oh no no more like my stomach

doesn’t even growl for me to eat anymore

have you found any better issues with

your memory or focus yes every day I

stay focused to be in good health in

shape it’s constantly on my mind that’s

awesome because one of the things that

the benefits of this is basically you

you can regrow your brain I mean it

literally your brain cells grow back so

that’s good yeah a whole blood sugar

thing that leads into dementia and

diabetes and all sorts of things you

know there’s another school of thought

out there and I don’t even want to bring

this up but I’ll bring it up anyway

which they’re saying that you can eat as

much sugar as you want it doesn’t cause

diabetes diabetes comes from eating

saturated fats

but if they watch these videos they

never comment on these videos talking to

someone like you because you can’t argue

if your results your before-and-after

how you feel you’re not making this so

and you’re eating more saturated fats

you’re just not eating a lot of sugar

mm-hmm

correct I mean yes you don’t need to

sugar anymore do you Oh honestly

sometimes when I do try to cheat I want

to spit it back up because I feel the

sugar rush to my brain already so I’ll

this is disgusting

hey I have that t-shirt as well I used

to consume so much sugar growing up we

would have we would do a party and have

these these cases of soda and I probably

would do ten sodas just down them pure

sugar meat cake unbelievable I’m like

now if I did that I would literally pass

out it’s crazy

hey so is any how do you have any other

family members like any siblings hmm

well my brother lives in China right now

and yeah he got chubby like in China

party if you were if you grew up

overweight did your brothers and sisters

also grew up overweight or not no he was

just average okay okay well this is good

because it just shows you some people

like you know let’s say that I’ve always

been overweight they need some hope and

someone like you is it’s a great example

like you did it and you’re losing weight

and you feel better and it’s obvious now

looking back it was all that sugar yeah

but that’s amazing it has anyone else

like friends or family members commented

just like looking at you going wow what

are you doing they don’t really ask what

I’m doing but then like I’m a

hairdresser and every day I see a lot of

people and then when my clients walk in

the door they’ll be running to me oh my

god you look good you look awesome

I know thank you so that probably comes

up a lot the conversation when you’re

cutting hair right

yeah I thought ketosis and all these

other things

right that’s that’s pretty cool that is

awesome well I just want to say well

done thank you so much for sharing

because you know just it gets other

people ideas what to do and some people

really need the examples of what a

person is eating to know like what to

eat and also like to know that you can

get to a point where you’re not craving

you’re not hungry anymore

that type of thing that’s like amazing

so one last question I’m guessing you

probably saw some other videos with the

keto bombs right yes those are like kind

of pleasure foods that are made from fat

no sugar you probably start out making

those do you

is that true like you start out making

this with your meals like keto bombs and

consuming those with your meals as your

oh yes okay just like very small portion

okay gee are you finding now that you’re

kind of more into it that the need for

those goes goes down yeah it does but

the problem is I like to bake keto cake

cool hey there’s no sugar why not right

yeah that’s awesome well thank you so

much for your interview and I wanted to

say congratulations and then what we’ll

do is we’ll if you want in a few months

we’ll do another one and see where

you’re at then okay Oh sounds great yeah
