Hi and welcome to my Keto OS Pruvit video. This is an update to my previous Pruvit Keto
Keto//OS videos. I’ll apologize upfront, this is not going to be a professional presentation.
I’ve got some notes off to the side and I’m going to be reading those notes to help
keep me on track for what I wanted to talk about, but I wanted to give you guys an update
to this Keto journey that I’ve been on. I’ve been taking Keto OS for about 250 days
now, it’s about 35 and a half weeks, and I wanted to give you a quick update. So, first,
let me do the kind of usual disclaimer. I’m not a doctor, I don’t play one on TV, don’t
take anything I say or anybody else says to be a fact until you’ve went out and researched
it yourself and, of course, consult with your doctor or your physician before trying any
kind of program, supplements or anything like that. So, please research anything and everything
you hear me or anybody else say. So, don’t take anything I say for being a fact, go research
it for yourself and find out what you believe and what you can document and verify. I’ve
done lots and lots of research on ketones and therapeutic ketones and Keto OS and ketogenic
diets and I think you should as well. So, let me get off here into some of the stuff
I want to cover today. Okay, so 250 days in, 35 and a half weeks, the good, bad and the
ugly. So, the good is I’ve lost 45 pounds taking Keto OS twice a day. I really haven’t
done a lot more. I’ve exercised here and there and I really just followed a low carb,
high fat diet, ketogenic diet similar to an Atkins diet or paleo diet. But I haven’t
been measuring things, I haven’t been weighing things, I’ve been eating pretty much whatever
I wanted, whenever I wanted, and I’ve lost 45 pounds. So, that’s the good. The bad
is I just came back from a 16-day last minute vacation.
That wasn’t bad, that was actually great, but while on that vacation I did not take
my Keto OS twice a day. I did take supplies of it with me and I plan to and you know how
it is on vacation. You get on vacation and just things are going and I didn’t take
it, and then after a couple days of being on vacation I kind of made the decision that
I’m just going to take the entire vacation off, I’m going to pretty much eat whatever
I want, carbs included, and I wasn’t going to worry about it and then I was going to
see how bad is it when I get back and just enjoy my vacation. So, that’s what I did
and I gained about 12 pounds over that 16 days. Now, the good news is when I got back
I went back to taking my Keto OS twice a day and eating a better diet and I was able to
lose 10 of those 12 pounds within the first two weeks. So, I’ve been back about just
about 3 weeks now. So, I’m 2 pounds above my low 240.4 and I’m about 242. So, not
too bad. So, the ugly. The ugly is I got down to 240.4 or 240.2, somewhere in there, several
months ago. And then I kind of have stalled here, I’m still right around 240-242. And
the good part of that is I haven’t gained a bunch of weight, but I also haven’t continued
to lose that 2.2 pounds average that I had been averaging for quite some time. So, you
know, why is that? What happened? What caused it to stop working? The truth of the matter
is I happened. It’s what I did or didn’t do, that’s the bottom line. I stopped taking
my Keto OS every single day twice a day regularly. Sometimes I take it twice, sometimes I take
it once, sometimes I forget to take it at all. And this isn’t just like sitting around
the house every day and forgetting. I mean, life has been happening, right? I’ve
been traveling for business, of course I had my vacation, life is, you know, kids and sports
and school and vacations and driving people and all of that stuff happened. Right? So,
normal life has happened. So, I’ve stopped taking my Keto OS on a regular, consistent,
twice a day basis, so that’s one of them. And I’ve stopped eating right all the time.
I started cheating a little bit and when I cheated a little bit, it didn’t really seem
to affect my weight loss, I continued to lose 2.2 pounds a week. So, I cheat a little more
and a little more often and with different things. And so, I just really got out of the
habit of eating a very consistent diet. I also started eating later than I wanted. I
don’t like to eat after dark or after at least like 8:00 PM and I started doing that.
I don’t eat a lot in the morning because I like to give my body time to recuperate.
So, I usually eat a meal later in the morning. So, I was eating meals earlier. So, I happened,
right? What am I going to do about it? Am I going to sit here and, boo-who, it all stopped
working. What’s that going to do? A lot of people do that, but at the end of the day,
what’s it going to solve? Right? I think it’s really important for me to take ownership
of it. I mean, this is me. I got fat because the things that I did. Nobody held me down
and stuffed donuts down my mouth. I ate that, I ate steaks and baked potatoes. I still eat
steak, by the way. But I ate those deserts and I ate all of the heavy carbs and all the
heavy sugar stuff and I got to this because of what I’ve done. So, I need to take responsibility
for it. Also, I lost 45 pounds because I took responsibility and I was taking my Keto OS
regularly and I was eating good food regularly and that got me to where I’m at.
Now, should I just go back to doing all of that? Well, yes, absolutely I should, but
I did notice too that even while I was doing mostly all the things right, a couple of things
were happening. One, I had planned on doing more exercise and I never did. As a matter
of fact, I fell back on my exercise. I wasn’t getting my 10,000 steps a day and I hadn’t
been getting 10,000 steps a day in, and that means I also didn’t do the extra exercise
I was going to start adding back in. And it’s really hard with my lifestyle to set a time
that I’m going to go to the gym, to set a time, and I’ve got equipment here as well.
My son’s a college athlete and he was a high school athlete, my daughters are high
school athletes, so we have workout equipment here. But just being committed to that and
doing that. So, I haven’t been able to do that, so I need to come up with some strategies
of how do I continue to lose weight and not just do what I’m doing, which is kind of
the diet and just do whatever I want. I mean, I’ve been pretty good about the food I’ve
been eating, but I need a little more structure and I need to try to do things a little bit
better. So, let’s look at what I know for a fact, right? So, I know for a fact that
when I take Keto OS twice a day I usually lose weight. Okay? For fact that when I eat
better food, I usually lose weight. Fact, alright? When I exercise, even a little, I
tend to lose weight. Fact. And then when I don’t do those things, I don’t work out,
I don’t take my Keto OS twice a day, I don’t eat as good and healthy meals as I’m supposed
to, I don’t lose weight or I even gain weight. Now, the good news is because I didn’t like
completely fall off and just complete start going crazy and eating pizza every night,
I was just falling off here and there and not being consistent, I didn’t really gain
a lot of weight. I’ve been at this 240-242 for several months now and my body’s kind
of stabilized there. So, that’s a good part to this, I didn’t balloon back up, I didn’t
gain that 45 pounds back, but I’m just not losing weight right now.
So, if I know all the facts, then all I’ve got to do is go back and change those things,
take ownership and fix those things. And again, this is not a quick weight loss for me, I
never planned on cutting a bunch of weight. I’m a coach, I’ve coached wrestlers, I
know how to cut a bunch of weight and that’s not what I’m planning on doing. Okay? This
is a long-term program for me. I gained weight over many, many years and I’d like to lose
100 pounds in a year. I may or may not be able to do that now that I’ve stalled for
a couple months, but that’s still my goal. And if it takes me a year, a year and a half
or two years, then that’s fine. It took me 20 years to get to where I’m at. So,
if it takes me a year or two to get back down to a healthy weight, I’m okay with that.
So, let’s look at what I’m going to do. Basically, starting today, I’m going to
consider this phase two of my weight loss program. Okay? Of my getting healthy and continuing
to lose weight. So, starting today, I am going to go back and recommit myself to taking my
Keto OS twice a day, getting my 10,000 steps in and eating a healthy diet. Now, I am going
to start a doctor supervised weight management program. Doing the diet on my own was good,
but I think I was very loose with it and I think some days maybe I ate too much and some
days I was eating out of range, and I was tracking it sometimes. And that’s the other
thing, I was tracking it and then I stopped tracking it and so… And then I got introduced
to a diet weight loss management program that I’m starting today. It’s a doctor supervised
program that’s all over the country. They’ve got 47 clinics doing it, 22,000 people have
been through this program, so it’s not something new, I’m not doing something new.
It’s still based on a low carb diet program and I’ll talk about all of that in another
video, but I am going to start another diet program, but something that is still low carb.
Because I really enjoy actually eating more protein and vegetables than eating the carbs.
I feel better, it seems to work for me, but I need some structure, I need something to
help me manage the way I’m eating, not just me eating whatever and not just me eating
whatever and however I’m doing it. So, I’ll talk about that in another video and I’ll
put a link below this video so that you can watch that as well. Alright, let’s see,
what else do I have here? So, let’s just do this, I’m going to keep this a short
video. Let me just wrap this up with saying that I’ve been taking this Keto OS, I like
taking it, I like having therapeutic ketones in my body. I feel better, I have mental clarity,
I’ve been sleeping better. I have my Fitbit and I’m tracking my sleep. And when I take
my Keto OS I get better sleep, when I don’t, I don’t, that’s the fact for me. So, anyways,
they’ve got a bunch of… I normally take this one and I’ve got some of it back there,
but this is the 2.0, this is the orange dream. Actually, this one is I think 2.1. This is
the 2.1 and this tastes like an orange popsicle and you just put it in some water and drink
it. But they’ve got this other one that I just got some of and I’d gotten some samples
previously and I tried it and it was really good. But this is basically the same thing,
it’s Keto OS, but it’s chocolate. So, I’m actually going to bust this open and
take some now. It’s kind of cool, it comes in this little thingy where you can just pull
a serving out. Kind of cool. There you go. So today I’m starting back again, two of
these a day. One in the morning, it is about 9:00 o’clock this morning, I’m a little
late. I like to take this between 6:00 and 9:00, but I knew I wanted to make this video
this morning so I spent the morning writing my notes, kind of getting my head clear on
what I was going to say. And so, I’m going to put this in here just
as I have done before. Bottle of water, nothing special, just a bottle of water. Pour this
bad boy in here. Now, one of the cool things with this chocolate flavor, because that’s
what this 3.0 is, it’s a chocolate swirl, you can actually bake with this and you can
put it in other things. You can also put this into a bullet style mixer blender thingy with
some ice and make a nice refreshing little frothy, chocolate, icy, ice creamy thing.
That’s kind of cool, I like doing that sometimes, but just take it… I hate these cheap water
bottles I buy. I buy them because they’re cheap and then they spray me every time I
shake it. Alright, so shake this bad boy up and I’m going to drink this in the next
15-20 minutes. It tastes like chocolate. It tastes like chocolate, that twist cone. You
know, that vanilla chocolate twist cone, that’s what it tastes like. Pretty cool. So, anyways,
you’re going to take that twice a day, you’re going to go back to eating a low carb healthy
diet. I’m going to probably start managing my portions a little bit more. This diet program
doesn’t really do counting calories or whatever, but does a point system, whatever. So, I’m
going to try that and I think that’ll help me too, because I think I was at times maybe
eating too much protein, not even realizing it or eating too much fructose in some sweet
fruit and stuff and then sometimes the food combination, that’s one of the big things
is the food combination. So, that’s that. I’ll wrap up with this. I’m not a Pruvit
employee, whatever. I do make, if somebody buys the Keto OS stuff from me, I’ll make
a couple bucks. Believe me, it doesn’t even pay for what I buy, because I’m taking this
two servings a day. I think this is about 4 bucks a serving or
something. I don’t even know. You’ve got to go look, but I think it’s about 4 bucks
a serving. And I make, I don’t know what I make, I make a couple bucks. Not very much.
So, if you want to take this, buy it, buy it from me, buy it from somebody else, I don’t
really care. If you want my help, by all means, let me know. And that’s really the deal.
Why am I making this video? People have watched my other videos, they said they’ve liked
them, they want me to continue to comment. This is not a... I haven’t sat down to write
a script to try to convince you one way or the other what you should or shouldn’t do.
Maybe you shouldn’t do any of this, maybe you should do something completely different,
maybe you hate the low carb lifestyle and you want to go do a counting calories, low
calorie, whatever. If you don’t do this, do something, because your family deserves
to have you around and if you keep doing what you’re doing, you’re going to get the
same results. Right? I mean, I think it’s Einstein that says doing the same thing and
expecting a different result is the definition of insanity. Right? So, if you don’t do
this, do something else. If I can help in any way, send me an email. The email actually
does come to me, I don’t have like a staff or this isn’t my job, this is just something
I’m doing to get healthy. And my email is anthony@anthonyflatt.com, it’ll be below
this video somewhere as well. If you’ve got any questions, send me an email, I’ll
do what I can to help. Go out and do your own research, make sure you know what you’re
doing, talk to your doctor about whatever it is. The Keto OS in this lifestyle has helped
me get off of my statins for cholesterol. It’s also helped me lower my blood pressure,
so those are two of the biggest benefits I’ve gotten on this 250-day journey, because I
don’t take any medication for my statins or for my cholesterol or for my blood pressure,
both of those have come down. I test my blood every day, you should too as well. So anyway,
if you need any help, let me know. I’ll help you any way I can. This is Anthony starting
phase 2 of my Keto journey, my weight loss journey and I’ll make some more videos and
we’ll see how this goes. Alright, take care.
