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
