    Thank you Diet Doctor. I have learned so much from your website. I keep directing people to this awesome site. I am sharing this video on my social media sites and and sharing personally with family and friends!

    Helo Dr. Eenfeldt! I’m from Brazil, living in Argentina! After the big success of Spanish version of Diet Doctor it’s time of the Portuguese version! I’d love to be part of your team. I look forward to being part of this big food revolution!

    Dr Andreas Eenfeldt, thank you! I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes at 40 and I managed to control it only with diet. Just simple no sugar and low-carb diet. I am now 46 and at the routine check up I was told that I will have to be on medication from now on… I asked for some time to try and reverse it. I heard about the KETO diet from a friend who got so slim with it that it was astonishing. So I want to try reversing my diabetes to the point where I can avoid medication. I am still not on medication, but time is of essence for me. I must do it right for quick results, so I can stay medication free, at least for as long as possible. I have just started watching your videos, which I think are absolutely amazing! I have big hopes and big determination. Thank you for helping me with understanding how to get massive results with this, fast.

      Judith, so many people are changing their lives with Keto.

      I hope you start this journey. I wish you the best.

      Judith Henter people decide to change once they get diabetes smh

    • leeleeturn on January 20, 2022 at 7:42 pm

      @ツZinner so what do you think they should do if they have diabetes? Just throw their hands in the air and pig out on carbs until they die from complications? A lot of people do precisely that. This person is to be commended for taking positive steps irregardless of her current state of health. Positivity and encouragement is helpful. Your negativity is useless.

    So clear and precise explanations of keto diet. Thank you dear Dr.

    Ahmed, its been a week. I started out with a water fast for three days and came off the fast day four. Lost five pounds. My goal was to transition into doing the intermitten fasting, with Keto diet to improve my health, especially spiritually. Today, I start the intermitten fasting for a three days. The Keto diet recipes are wonderful and I am exploring more. Hope your doing good. Best, Shana

    I often increase the playback speed on longer YouTube videos to 1.25 to get thru the informaton more quickly. When this gentleman speaks, it has the added benefit of changing the voice tone to something approaching normal.
    Very interesting and informative video btw. I am losing lots of weight by cutting carbs. This stuff really does work.

  10. LINA on May 17, 2020 at 6:58 pm

    The best and cleariest doctor and videos about Keto in the whole YouTube, you’re super beneficial and the illustrations that you include in video are super helpful 👍🏻 thanks a lot.

    • Justin Brown on September 19, 2022 at 4:25 pm

      That would be Dr berg.

  11. Kaniner Flagg on June 10, 2020 at 11:51 pm

    I’m going to try keto. I need to lose 50 lbs to be at a healthy weight, but the main benefit I hope to achieve is to kick my sugar addiction.
