  1. I think what needs to be addressed is the increase in cholesterol levels as a result of this. I ate like this video suggested and my cholesterol levels increased! What’s the solution?

  2. I've been following Dr. Becky for almost two years now (as well as my low carb'ing Italian M.D.) and I've dropped from 137kg to 87kg ~100 lbs. I'm a 72yr old T2 diabetic. Being 137 odd kg, old guy, that's no joke.

  3. I used to eat this way – high fat, high protein. My cholesterol was through the roof and my A1C was very high. I went to eating a grapefruit every day, lots of fruit, vegetables, dairy and low fat. My bloodwork is now PERFECT. No more cholesterol problem, A1C of 5.0. Just the opposite of everything she says. And I'm over 60.

  4. I was raised believing that the food pyramid was a reliable guide for healthy eating. I believed that the government had my best interests at heart when developing it. I believed my teachers at school who told me breakfast was the most important meal of the day. I now know that the government was influenced by money and politics when they told me to eat LOTS of bread/ pasta and little oils and protein. I don't trust the government on any of my health choices anymore. Thank you Dr Becky for your Youtube channel and good advice.

  5. Firstly, for a slightly senior lady you look … mmmm!
    Ive gotta share my easy diet trick. Halve the size of your main meals and fill your plate with mashed carrots. Snack only on fruit. Ive lost 10lbs in a month. No exercise and still drinking beer!
    I wasnt that fat at the beginning, 210 lbs and six-one and they do say that the last 20lbs is the hardest to shift. 59 year old British guy.

  6. I really like this video, as it doesn't demonize eating important fatty foods. (Not talking about fried and processed stuff) even better you're a doctor! Perfect video for my mother

  7. Should I just be getting up at 4:00 am then when my metabolism kicks in and wakes me up? Often I just lie in bed for hours afterward. Should I just seize the opportunity to get productive early and go to bed earlier?

  8. dr.becky, are you referring to or basing the facts on the tape measure or the scale results. I think that if you considered both in terms of keeping your body perfectly acidic instead of overly alkaline that the best results can be achieved at any age with a natural approach. just a thought.

  9. I feel desparate I am 48. I was on keto for like a year I lost 10 kilos but I gained back. I need something to work Really. All my life I am trying to lose weight 🥺

  10. I was born in 1967 and told all the same things growing up also was Told we had to eat everything off our plate because they were starving people didn’t know when they’re getting their next meal

  11. Wow. Your videos are brilliant. I loooove your calm voice. I love you don’t have background music and most importantly I love the low carb high fat medium protein approach

  12. Never mind the weight loss, I love your kitchen! The wood burning stove in the corner is the kicker, now..uh hum, lets talk weight loss over 50:)
