so welcome solemn thank you so much for

doing this interview and I saw you

before and after just utterly incredible

so I wanted to kind of get your story on

where you were the core and what you did

can you tell me a little bit about your

your past as far as you know did you

have a weight problem yeah

actually to be honest you know I was

diet

I was experimenting a lot of diets and

nothing really worked you know and I was

so depressed about it I gained a lot of

weight

and then I did some diets but I lost the

weight actually but then I gained it so

much faster back and so it was it was

more of a I didn’t have a problem with

the high carb diet or or any of the

other guys it’s just it’s not

sustainable in a long run and and then

because I was praying for things and I

always want to eat this something

specific you know I didn’t know what was

the reason that time but then at one

point last year and knocked over at five

days and I saw one of your videos and I

didn’t know about Kate oh really

and I just watched your videos because

he didn’t mention in some of his videos

that you’re doing ketosis or something

but I just followed it then I found out

yet about ketosis and I lost a lot of

weight in during three or four months I

lost most of the fat week yeah and

mostly my body also changed

yeah and a kebab body composition have

changed mostly for me and that’s what

made me so happy because I tried other

diets before where the body composition

didn’t change I was skinny fat and I

don’t know how it’s called yeah so if

you with the training you said like

don’t do more than 20 minutes of

training so I did in those I followed

that I did high interval training for 20

minutes so that helped me a lot also to

change the way my body looks wow did you

work out every day or every other day no

I work out four or five times you know

to be honest you know there are days

that I don’t really work out and this is

what I do train hard did you start off

with Kido and in a minute fasting or do

you just do Kido no I started first with

Pete oh yeah and then after I started

with the intimus fasting I did the two

meals and then after I started with the

one meal how many kilos did you lose

total I lost thirty kilo 130-plus and

was there any other benefits like energy

memory uh any other positive things yeah

to be honest at the beginning it wasn’t

easy at the beginning you know like I

didn’t know it was called k2 flu I just

I was kind of doubtful of the way of

they get up though of the program

because I was feeling really bad I just

had so many so much to digestive

problems to be honest because I think my

body wasn’t used to to a lot of the

fiber of the of the greens the

cruciferous vegetables so I in the

beginning I suffered two digestive

problems and I my energy was messed up

but then after that they cleared up

really fast

did you change any did you change

anything or just give it more time no I

gave it time yeah so yeah I think I

don’t know did you see the video on keto

flu yes I then I later I saw it and I I

thought oh my god that exactly what

happened to him and yeah the destory I

then I felt relaxed okay there’s

symptoms you know there’s a stage stages

that you have to go through in order to

you know to adapt to the ketosis yeah

cuz yourselves you literally have to

build new enzymes new cellular machinery

to be able to deal with this new peel

source so that’s a whole different thing

but so what tell me what what you would

eat in a given meal on average at the

beginning I was kind of confused you

know because but then later on I become

easier for me to grow to make my meals

because it was before 3:00 me

then four but then when I did the

intimate fasting I broke it down I put a

contestant all to one meal and in that

meal I have to have my proteins and my

veggies and my fats of course usually I

don’t go more than ten ounces of protein

and vegetables I go I do consume a lot

of vegetables I go for 5 between 5 to 10

cups I like I like my veggies and in the

clean fast is avocado and I forgot the

oils and what else you know I care

nothing comes up with my eggs I like me

yeah homemade mayonnaise I do never the

one of the problems that I went through

the beginning is finding you know like a

good brand of mayonnaise that has no

sugar in it or a ketchup that has no

sugar so it was extremely difficult so

you know most of the time I go to the

supermarket I buy some stuff thinking

that it’s healthy then I end up looking

at the label it is everything it’s sugar

sugar sugar everywhere so that was kind

of the difficult for me because when I

go to the supermarket I can’t find

anything back in each because literally

do it everywhere sugar oh my gosh where

do you live I lived in Kuwait and yeah I

don’t know if you want if you’re willing

to hear a story you know like about

about ketogenic at the beginning people

were very doubtful of my diet you know

and they were they were thinking that

I’m crazy and when I’m that time during

that time when I started it I was very

overweight my mother she was telling me

you have to be careful because it’s a

high cholesterol diet and you might end

up clogging your arteries and you might

have a heart attack or something

but you I was like okay any like all of

my members of my family they have

genetically high cholesterol so I

thought okay let me take a different

route I don’t want to take the crystal

or lipitor that the cholesterol

medications I want to do a healthy kind

of life pure and clean and so

getting it was hard then later on you

know I went to did my blood test and my

cluster came out very high and I was

kind of shocked about this even though I

lost a lot of weight then I went back

through through your videos and then you

said no because you said as you said

just now a minute ago the the cells that

gets they get shrunk and then the fat

cells they have to go through the

bloodstream so I thought let me give my

body a chance to adapt more and to three

months I did my blood test again and my

crust was at the normal range I was so

happy you know like I sorry doctor like

here I have two members of my family you

know one died of the heart stroke and

one is the disabled from the neck down

just because of heart disease and I

didn’t want to take that to it because

I’m going to take start taking tablets

I’m going to start it oh it’s going to

open for me other doors like other

medications I and but no I don’t want to

do that I wanted to go into ketosis and

I got committed and people saw my

results they were you know members of

the family who who are they’re happy

they’re eating because in our country we

need lots of rice lots of lots of rice

you know you have a huge plate of rice

maybe more than 20 cups of rice and then

this small piece of vegetable on the top

and the meat and the meat on the top so

so it’s like a sugar oriented country

and even my kids you know I got the you

know I removed all the sugars in the

house and you know they could change

them it changed the way that they even

in their behavior in school the teachers

are telling me they’re all changed so

that’s for me it’s not about that so

what the lifestyle it changed my whole

life you know even my home you know and

it did it help to understand why you’re

doing that as far as to understand

insulin and how that all work in the

beginning I didn’t spend any of that but

your video is helped a lot really your

videos helped so much and it was very

instructive it took me like it was like

a more of a biology course you know with

your videos so it and yeah it helps so

much you know with my journey and I

thank you for that really

yeah and then when you wake up in the

morning when’s the first time you eat I

eat my my fasting window starts from

five to seven four hour window

I have daily yeah okay and then the next

meal you eat would be when the next day

24-hour fast and I’m sorry a 20 hour

pass okay so so your how was your do you

have any cravings anymore in the

beginning yes in the beginning yeah I

had so much craving I wanted to go for

junk food mostly of course sugary carbs

breads and cakes and all the in these

kids and all these things beginning I

had such a huge craving but now no once

I eat the healthy foods the Cato food I

don’t have any craving at all even I

could sustain so long you know for 22

more than 20 hours even there were times

that even my fasting window is is near

that I but I should be eating I don’t I

don’t want to eat I’m so full because my

last meal from the last day was just

enough for me that’s it that’s

fascinating it goes completely against

what people are used to because you’re

running on fat which I’m sure you could

even feel it’s the difference it’s a

different feeling running in flat versus

sugar and feels good and do you think

you’ll ever go back to your old ways I

to be honest also I went I went back to

for a couple of only a couple of days

before 1 or 2 days I thought I thought

because you know like I have to try it

you know I have to go back to and maybe

just enjoy it I thought you know then I

started eating rice and bread in those

two days and I felt so bad I felt really

really terrible I had such a huge

headache even though in those two days I

didn’t have like anything with sugar I

just had bread and had such a throbbing

pain in my head and then I realized oh

my god this is not good for the body

it’s just you know it messes up your

energy levels and so then I stopped

completely after that I swore off the

carbs it’s so funny I’m the same way

like when I was

my early 30s and started to change my

diet I would test the waters and go back

and just really to make sure this is the

right thing I’d go back and forth and

I’m like okay I’m convinced I’m going to

stick with this healthy program because

I’ve been beaten up so much and of

course it sounds like you’re really

disciplined I was I would I would I

waited to the last minute till I was

dying before I did anything yeah

the cravings they do I think it’s more

of a I don’t want to call it a crazy I

want to call it more of a sentimental

memory because like you know I relate

this kind of food with a memory like

McDonald’s is like cheeseburger I

remember like it’s fun to eat this it’s

you know you gather on people you drink

the cola it’s a good memory behind it so

what I did you know to replace that I I

did my kind of version you know of a you

know of a burger you know I get a really

good quality beef I get a good cause

cheese I do the oopsie bread know like I

don’t know if you know that’s one and

the lettuce so it tastes much better and

and you you know and you and still get

the benefit of the K to life you know so

that’s I think it’s the best way to do

it if you’ve craved for something you

try to replace it you know try to adapt

it to the K to lifestyle I don’t know I

don’t know that success you know yeah

personally when I went all eat a meal

meal now I’m not really that hungry and

I just eat because I know I have to I

need to be enough sustain that so I’m

just like I’m just eating for health

right now you know and yes there’s some

not so like I’m oh my god before I have

to have this food and oh my gosh I feel

so much better and then BAM yeah it

breaks up the energy you know and you

want to have when I start to eat carbs

even I don’t have energy for my workout

I can’t even exercise I feel like my

hammock is so dizzy it’s more like

trying to digest the bread order or the

rice you know and

oh then I didn’t was called stops me

from doing my workouts my daily workouts

but when I eat clean foods clean protein

clean fats and veggies I have so much

energy I can I’m like non-stop in the

gym wow that’s amazing now do you are

other people looking at you like they

saw you before now they see after they

ask me what are you doing

yes now like it’s not the people who

doubted me and they look at me like oh

my gosh you know in fact is eating my

natal males and in whatever and I said I

now there’s all of them like remember

them because here in quake we have this

I don’t know if you watched that movie

My Big Fat Greek Wedding and in these

times they have in the table the you

know a lots of food rice bread and

potatoes and all these things you know

and and they look at my foot because I

bring my own foot to the table and and

then after they look at me they see

they’re confused but now it’s different

now they want to try out my food now

they want to ask what do you eat what

you don’t eat and how did you get into

such amazing shape Wow

and like that’s what like exciting about

this diet you know people come in and

they and they you know they want to see

what was the what made this results for

you and what made me changed so much

because I people you know like I have

also an uncle he’s have stage two

diabetic and he saw me he’s like oh my

energy and it’s going to make you lose

weight oh so then he actually tried it

and he lost so much weight and I I would

like to share his story also with you

but you know a maybe if he agrees you

know his private kind of person so but

he was happy from the result he was

happy he didn’t lost a lot because he’s
