hello everyone i have a special  guest today uh joseph is here  

a great amazing success story  welcome joe welcome to dr berg

hey listen tell us all about where you  were what was happening and uh before  

you uh found out about keto well it goes back  to 1995 and i was a four pack a day smoker wow  

so luckily uh my friend’s wife made an appointment  for him to go for acupuncture and i had tried to  

quit smoking i couldn’t quit smoking and anyway  i went for one session and i walked out of there  

february 20th 1995 and i haven’t smoked since wow  but i immediately started packing on the pounds  

so and everybody i sent a lot of guys to this  fellow and probably 80 percent of them quit  

but anyway i was packing on the pounds and i no  matter what i did i was i wasn’t eating junk food  

i was eating chicken fish salads drinking  water and black coffee with you know and i  

i gained weight and so anyway i built a gym in my  basement and i religiously worked out for eight uh  

six days a week for eight years i was doing the  treadmill an hour a day at four miles an hour  

on the high incline and three days a week  doing weights and i wasn’t drinking alcohol  

or anything like that and i just blew up 80  pounds from once 62 at the time one to 242

so i finally threw in the towel i  said i’m not getting anywhere i’m just  

wasting all this time working out and  i’m i’m eating good food supposedly but  

i was eating wheat bread i told you to eat  wheat right and i was eating wheat bread  

and anyway fast forward 18 years from february  uh 95 and that’s where i got hooked up with you  

and uh i said geez that makes a lot of sense and  so the first week i started i on the 18 hour day  

fast and uh like uh six hour eating one day and  lo and behold i lost two pounds i couldn’t even

the next week i lost another two and it  was cumulative eight pounds the first

month 10 months later i shed the 80 pounds i  never starved you know i was you know eating  

you know good food and then go out to  14 months this i started in june 2013  

in in august 2014 i was down 100  my wife has also lost 97 pounds  

oh my god and you won’t believe how great i feel  i i i was a health wreck i was on lipitor and uh  

like i remember patching cracks in my  driveway and if i was kneeling down  

i couldn’t even get up i am like a  teenager now i’ve got so much energy and  

my blood pressure well now it’s getting a  little low i don’t know my blood pressure  

this morning was 99 67 and 82. i don’t know if  that’s too low but it’s usually running around  

115 120 but it’s been a little low lately so i’m  not sure if that makes you just do is add a little  

bit of salt add a little bit of salt i i do i use  the pink himalayan salt but i well i shifted over  

i drink a lot of tea with the pink himalayan  salt and uh turmeric and a little pepper  

and apple cider vinegar and but for the last week  or so i’ve been drinking some coffee with the  

stevia but i’m kind of you know phased out of the  tea a little bit but i’m going back into it again  

i drink organic green tea do you drink a lot  during the day uh yes i probably drink four  

cups of it during the day great so all you have to  really do is just add the the b1 back into things  

like the nutritional yeast if you’re doing some  of that because the tea and coffee will deplete b1  

and that could affect the blood pressure either  one way or the other but i have a question so at  

your maximum weight you were at 200 and how how  many pounds did were you at your max 42 and a  

half pounds and how much did you wear and how much  did you get down to today what do you weigh down

i weighed this morning i weighed 133.2

wow this is amazing

down almost 100 well i was down 110 pounds from  my highway wow so other than the bread before  

now that you’re eating it what else was  different is it the fasting part that  

because before maybe you’re snacking like what’s  the difference before and now i think i think  

the working out was creating cortisol which ushers  in insulin and i think it was stress from cortisol  

working out i mean i was like a theme working  out and i think it was cortisol counteracting  

uh my weight loss wow wow but also you  probably weren’t fasting before correct

no i wasn’t okay i was eating like  three meals and i wasn’t fasting and  

i was pretty good i didn’t eat a lot of  junk food pastas and pizza and all that  

but no matter what i did the weight  wouldn’t budge wow and so and i i’m a  

religious follower of yours i’ve sent so many  of my friends uh to you and told them about you  

and you’re you’re just incredible i love you dr  bird i mean my wife she couldn’t lose any any  

weight she’s down 97. she has a way to go  we caught we called the show in 2019 and

you you recommended that my wife uh eat every  other day well she hasn’t done that so much we’re  

like one meal a day and but she’s kind of plateau  but she she started to drop down a little bit  

great good good food grass-fed beef  we eat a lot of veggies i grow kale  

and and stuff like that and we eat healthy  that’s so amazing what’s what can i ask your age  

i’m going to be 72 in february you do not look 72  you look like you’re you’re you’re young that’s  

amazing i could just see you you just have  that youth i feel like a teenager dr burke  

amazing you can’t believe how good i feel i got  a little i’ve got a little farm here and i’ve  

got chickens and rabbits and pigs and tilapia  i got an aquaponics system and i grow veggies  

and tell them that we lost the pr too  oh no we’re about that right now but

we’ve lost combined well you figured out  that my wife is 97 pounds and i’m almost 110  

so there you go called the show on the 29th of uh  september in 2019 and karen made a comment he says  

this was rooster approved because she  heard the roosters in the background  

i love it i love it we have um seven chickens  and uh boy the uh we let them roam around for  

the day and the the uh the brightness of those  those egg yolks and the taste it’s so different  

we had we had over 500 chickens at the time wow  yes that’s that’s a lot of eggs i want to wish

the whole summit last year that we had that

11 o’clock we watch every friday at 11  o’clock oh that’s great that’s great  

yeah and i tell every i tell everybody i  just i told about three people this week  

about you oh man that’s i appreciate that and i

and uh matter of fact we i told one guy and  oh and not only i want to before i forget  

i was at a farm market a couple of years ago  

and i met a friend of yours and we were  talking and michael burr you know michael burr

that rings a bell yeah he when i told him  as i showed him before and after picture  

and he said how’d you do i said i follow dr berg i  do the keto the keto diet oh wow that is so great  

it’s well actually it’s really good just to meet  you know someone that actually has been watching  

the videos because i’m i do a lot of videos and i  always wondered who’s watching these videos so i  

it’s real nice to meet you and uh hear  your wife as well but uh this is so great  

oh my gosh she’s just saw her today she’s  she’s like the epitome of keto healthy  

because she doesn’t do any sugar this kid’s  no sugar and it’s at two years and she’s  

still doing partial breastfeeding as well and so  you have that immune system but you talk about  

perfect dental structure and uh perfect balance  and articulate and be able to learn i mean i’m  

just blown away so we’re doing the cod liver oil  the omega-3 fatty acids and um i have some sausage  

with organ meats that she’s eating that so it’s  just amazing so how old is she she’s actually um  

just over two years old oh great inaudible yeah  that’s right yeah she’s great she’s awesome that’s  

what my wife’s birthday is we’ve we’ve been  married for 53 years now wow that’s so amazing  

you’re you’re way past the uh the average which  is like i think seven or two years or something  

like that that’s wow that’s amazing we’ve we’ve  aged in reverse doing following your plan i love

you it you can’t believe i can’t tell you how  great i feel i’m like a teenager i i bounce  

around this place to take care of my animals uh  usually ten years ago uh i was a health wreck  

wow for those of you who don’t  show when you eat good food  

it’s just like if you have a race engine if you  put good race gas in it it runs good if you put  

regular gas in it’ll just fall apart exactly for  those of you watching if you’re new to keto here’s  

a perfect example i’m going to put the link down  below just for just for what’s it what to eat  

and the videos you need to watch to be  educated but you know as we get older  

there’s two problems one is the body tends  to slow down but you can reverse it you can  

maximize it to make sure you doesn’t slow down  and also your cognitive function you’re sharp  

you’re like there’s so many people that even in  their 70s that are just kind of mentally losing  

it unfortunately completely unnecessary here’s  proof right here you’re going to see my wife’s  

aunt dr berg she’s going to be 101 on the 28th of  january and she is sharp as a tech and healthy as  

she lives on her own she’s you wouldn’t believe  it you talked to her on the phone do you think  

she’s 50 years old or something like that that is  that’s that’s right i said the word i asked her  

i says aunt rita what’s your secret you know he  says well i ate a lot of vegetables and salads  

and she was never obese and wow  she’s going to be 101. oh my god

why not why not i mean gosh this is the whole  aging thing is like i think overrated people  

are like they they think you have to have all  these problems and they’re on the meds like it’s  

unnecessary if you just get the basic eating  thing implemented in your fasting and it’s the  

most important thing and uh you’re proof good good  fuel in your body and once i started i never felt  

so good that’s great i never felt so good dr berg  that is awesome this is so amazing it’s just it  

blows me away and my weight right now when i was  in high school you know 50 years ago i was 148 and  

a half pounds now i’m down to uh below 132 pounds  wow and i don’t starve myself i eat i eat good  

wow i wouldn’t believe the veggies i make i got  it in brussels sprouts and broccoli or aspara okra  

and i use grass-fed butter and huge i eat  grass-fed beef and salmon i eat salmon and  

avocados oh that’s so great joseph that’s  just amazing you’re doing all the right things  

yeah we do some keto desserts but not so  much yeah it’s not necessary you know i  

don’t i think for some people with gut issues  it’s probably not a good thing but yeah once  

you get on this get the right stuff and your body  gets satisfied you don’t need this constant sweep

i can tell you before i remember before this  all started my wife made me a big breakfast  

i had three eggs i had wheat toast i had five  turkey sausages and i had some other stuff and and  

i was at lowe’s getting some lumber and an hour  and a half later i’m i’m getting i’m getting the  

shakes and getting headaches and i’m i think i’m  starving which i wasn’t starving but i’m getting  

the shakes and jittery and now unbelievable  an hour and a half later so i had to go at the  

time grabbed two snickers bars because i was i was  going i was really uh what that you know sugar is  

yeah i guess my should fight it but anyway the  longest day i did this it and it just happened one  

one wednesday night i ate it finished at seven  o’clock so the next day thursday i wasn’t  

hungry so i didn’t eat i hate my tea friday come  along i still wasn’t hungry so i had my tea and  

saturday come along i still am not hungry so i  i didn’t eat saturday sunday came along i was  

not hungry and and so one day come along  i’m not hungry but we had to go out with  

our friend that night so i did eat but i went  from wednesday night to monday night with no  

food and i was never never hungry at all wow wow  burning your own way yeah i bet that is so awesome  

that’s what i was eating but i was eating my body  yeah you were you’re living on a high fat diet  

in your own your own fat joseph this is amazing i  want to just thank you adapted like yeah getting  

100 fat burning and it’s very satisfying well  it’s really appreciate you spending time uh  

giving me your story because i have you a featured  story and i the pictures on my website and i was  

like oh my gosh i said call this guy i want to  do an interview because it’s amazing with the  

with the before and after so um a lot of people  are going to be inspired by this joe so it is

i owe it all to you dr berg hey without  you you know people need the knowledge  

the people need the knowledge of what to do  yeah and uh i’m telling you you’re spot on  

i uh i i like i recommend you to everybody  wow well i appreciate that well i’m  

i really enjoy it it’s very satisfying  and i’m gonna keep doing that but it’s so  

getting this basic eating plan and  it’s like just educating people make it  

understandable i mean and then when  people can finally do it they’re like  

okay this really does work but sometimes it  takes a while for it to sink in with some people  

but um you know it was amazing i like i i forward  your videos too uh one of your uh uh success story  

is krista that lost over 200 pounds oh yeah she  went from 315 down to 138 pounds in two years

amazing i forward that video to quite a few people  

it’s it’s actually a mind-blowing thing you know  i thought even a hundred pounds per you know  

in weight loss in a year is huge i had a guy who  came to one of my i think the last last two years  

he um lost six well he was 700  pounds now he’s like 220. that’s  

that’s unusual it’s crazy but um you know  what why not if you have that much fat  

you ride the wave you’re going to eventually  lose it if you do the right thing so  

i could tell you this is doesn’t pertain to  keto but uh i was at work and my one friend  

uh i was talking to him and this girl walks by and  my buddy tom says what do you think of that girl  

i said she’s gorgeous then then he lays this on me  

she used to weigh 305 pounds it says get out  and she lost 180 pounds in two and a half  

years but she did it eating 1250 calories a day of  the right food and she worked out in the gym for  

four hours a day six days a week but you wouldn’t  believe this girl she’s five foot two 123 pounds  

perfect hourglass and then he tells me she  weighed 305 pounds that’s just kidding wow  

i’ve i’ve seen that in my clinic i had a gal that  she was over to her she wasn’t that big but she  

was 200 pounds and uh you know she basically got  her original figure back and very very happy and  

her husband is very happy as well  and so it’s just amazing i mean  

the sky’s the limit if you actually have  the com combined with the right amount of  

exercise and recovery and you do this you  could really shape your reshape your body  

in a very dynamic i didn’t exercise at all to lose  this weight dr berg that is amazing before i did  

eight eight eight years in the gym and religiously  six days a week six days on the treadmill and  

three three days a week doing weights that i  did that prior and i couldn’t lose any weight  

over training over training oh thank you very much  dr berg i love you and so is my wife we oh we love  

you guys and we too healthy as can be my pleasure  and thank you so much for your great success  

okay dr berg okay have a great christmas you too
