Excellent explanation! 4yrs keto, now low carb. Down 135lbs and CBC Labs are excellent. Have blood work check every 6 months and amazed by the improvement. A1c started at 6.0mm to 4.7mm Triglycerides 200 now 50. Hdl 35 now 79. This way of eating is more about your health and weight loss is a side effect. Thanks for all you do.
@@mechkota I have kept a daily routine for 5yrs as of this May as follows. Start my day with a Bullet Proof coffee. I practice time restricted eating so I eat only twice a day:11AM and 5PM. Early meal 4eggs 1/2 avocado. 2tbsp kimchi, 2tbsp sauerkraut mixed together,6 olives green and black, celery sticks, 8'10oz of meat which is the only thing that changes daily. Ribeye, New York Strip, Pork Belly, pork Chop. Bacon, Rack of Lamb sliced into chops, Lamb Chops. Hamburger 80-20, Salmon or Sea Bass. I make Greek yogurt and have 1/2 to 1 cup with walnuts 1oz, 1/2 cup frozen wild blue berries 1tsp of Cylon Cinnamon and Stevia. My late meal can be a can of sardines, large Spring mix or Romaine lettuce salad with olive oil ,& red wine vinegar dressing. Sometimes a shrimp cocktail or fried scallops and cauliflower rice Drink a tbsp of vinegar in glass of water 1/2 hrs before my meals and lemon aid daily between meals. I am getting my blood tested again (every 6 mon) next week as It shows me what is going on inside my body. Every check has shown dramatic improvement in my overall health. This is more than weight loss. Its about prevention of serious complications. Hop you find this useful. PS, don't be afraid of Fat. Butter, Lard, fatty cuts of meat take away hunger and provide energy. Know your Vit D levels and take a good Cod liver oil for you immune system and your heart. Dont be afraid of salt. I use Redmond Real Salt which has lots of minerals in it.
That’s exactly what I wanna do, I’m on keto and planning to keep at it for 2 years then switch to low carb adding limited amounts of complex carbs. On a low carb diet can you eat rice? I love rice but would never eat sugar the way I was eating it again cutting it out helped me do much
@@ThriveWithLouise No, generally rice is not recommended on a low-carb diet. Rice is a high-carb food, especially white rice, which contains around 43 grams of carbohydrates per cup. Most low-carb diets restrict carbohydrate intake to between 20 and 50 grams per day.
I love your channel Dr Maggs. You were the first person I found over 2 years ago while suffering on my couch, overweight and unable to move from a Sciatica attack. I'm now down 75 pounds to my optimal weight, optimal health, no pains, and now actively and successfully coaching everyone around me. All thanks to your videos that got me started and excited, gave me hope. THANK YOU DR MAGGS !!! You are a Godsend and I appreciate you more than you can imagine.
I never saw your channel before. Low carb versus keto and what’s the difference intrigued me so I clicked on your video. I have been following Dr. Atkins diet revolution all my adult life. I lost about 77 lbs And I pretty well maintained my initial weight loss until the last couple years and then I sort of went haywire. Some of my family is saying oh you need to try the keto….well I can’t. My reason is I had pancreatitis twice in 2014 and I have to watch the saturated fats. And I like my dairy and I like my coffee. Now the reason I’m posting on your video today is because I can’t eat over 30 net g of carbs or I get out of ketosis and I gain weight. I wish I could eat 150 g of carbs but I can’t. I don’t eat sugar or starch except maybe on a special occasion as I have hypoglycemia. I always thought a low carb diet is under 60 g of carbs. Why am I wrong to think this? I’m asking you a legitimate question because I would like to know. I did subscribe. I appreciate explanations of how our bodies work. Thank you for this information. Very interesting. Now I’m going to go look at some of your other videos. Thanks again.
Great that you turned it around, I'm 40 today and at 8:15am find myself reading about low carb and keto eating which can only mean I have the same journey to start. 23 stone, get totally numb legs, can't breathe, sleep apnea, the works. Wrestled with keto knowing it's too restrictive and I get almost OCD over it. Low carb just makes sense to me now I've seen this video and feel better already.
Doing a 2 month clean Keto last year changed everything for me since it made me change the taste buds and not crave sugar anymore and get into fasting. It made me love the darkest kind of chocolates and good olive oil etc and even though I cheat from the diet a lot these days the sugar craving hasn't returned and my health has improved so much it's ridiculous. So anyone wanting to say cut down on sugar the best is to remove all carbs cause if you just start just cutting down you'll still have the cravings which on full keto are gone in a week or two and then it's super simple to stay like that instead of this constant struggle with discipline I see many go through
I went low carb 10 years ago lost a heap of weight and couldn't tolerate the taste of sweets or processed foods for years after. I didn't cut all carbs. That's unnecessary.
What’s been great on LCHF is not only losing 35 lbs in the past five months…I’m also able to exercise six times/wk without injury and have more energy. I do anywhere from 75-150 carbs/day, and no added sugars or processed foods. Life-changing!

Having said that, my wife and I did Keto a year ago and lost a lot of weight (100lbs) for me! We then relapsed due to holidays etc and put on a lot of the weight we had lost. Now been on it again for 6 weeks and well into Ketosis (my reading is 5) but neither of us are losing weight in spite of doing one meal a day again. Don’t understand why - to be honest it’s very disappointing. Anyone got any suggestions?
@@chrisaris8756 Either too much fat or sneaky carbs. Same happened to me. I cut out the carbs went almost pure carnivore for awhile. That helped. Also I changed my intermittent fasting window from dinner to lunch every day to lunch to breakfast. Switched it up every day. That worked for me! I’m not a doctor.
I have been eating Keto and I have lost too much weight so am looking to find the best solution. My belly is still the largest but rest of body looks to skinny at this point.
I went through diabetic ketoacidosis a few years ago and was about a day away from going into a diabetic coma. I was in the ICU for 2 days. I wouldn’t recommend it.
Doc. I like your definition. A keto diet is a diet that puts you in ketosis regardless of the food. One thing to note is that protein produces an insulin response. Even on a zero carb diet, consuming very lean protein can take someone out of ketosis (I’m proof of that).
Is it true that proteins are digested into carbohydrates and therefore a higher proportion of fat, rather than protein is necessary to substitute the lower carbohydrate intake?
I've been trying to find out the benefits of a low carb diet. I am not overweight nor diabetic. A low carb diet is described in this video but not really talked about.
I lost 100 lbs 2 years ago (I can’t believe it’s been that long. The first year of the pandemic I lost 100 lbs, 60 of it the first 4 months on keto with no cheat days or keto sweets. When I started introducing the low carb tortillas and breads and sweets it definitely slowed down lol but then I was in a bad wreck last Dec and gained 40 lbs back and then lost it again by this last Oct so I could have a tummy tuck and it’s been 3 months and I’ve gained 30 lbs!! I looked so good right after surgery but had so many healing complications and swelling and being off my diet for these last 3 months has made me look 6 months pregnant and I’m tired of it. Finally have enough motivation to start back and I’m so excited. I’m just worried because I can’t work out, hell I can’t do half of the activity I was doing because I’m still healing and still have an open wound. I’m either all in or all out and I do so much better on my diet when I can go to the gym or go walk and play with my kids at the park to exercise. Being home and unable to move like I use to just makes me bummed and it’s easier to cheat from just depression. I know if I can just get into ketosis and get past the first two weeks I’ll feel so much better and it’ll be easier. Just gotta get there!
I’m on a keto diet but when I talk to my GP (usually on the phone these days) or visit my diabetic practitioner (I’m type 2) I tell them I’m ‘trying low carb’ The reason for doing this is because I’m fed up of them telling me I’m going to be ill, my hair will fall out, it dangerous and unhealthy! Well I think eating what they suggest (porridge, sandwich and rice/pasta) will lead to me injecting insulin and being on medication all my life. When are they going to get educated 😢 The latest is wanting me to take a statin as a precaution
More efficient than what? Keto certainly isn't a good idea if you wanna build fast but in general if you have the protein count and the calories you'll be okay.
Have you heard of autoimmune td2? Not sure what it is but my specialist said i need to go on insulin. I've been ketovore for 6 months. It didn't lower my sugar levels. Staying at around 14.5 with spikes. So a little weirded out at why it didn't help. In May a1c was 5.7 in Sept a1c 11.2.
@@tna-technutamateur8249 i have type 1.5 and eating under 30 g. But the moment I put a piece of bread or have a regular beer my sugars spike incredibly high
Hi, what about type 1 diabetes? Is a keto diet safe? And for a child? I mentioned it to doctor and they are dead against low carb/ keto for kids, especially type 1
Check out Dr. Richard Bernstein. He's a type 1 and became a doctor in his 40's in order to better understand/research his condition. I believe he is now in his 80's.
50-65% protein, under 5% carbs, rest is fat. I stopped calling it keto because folks think “high fat” when you say keto.I do this to both grow muscle and lose fat. Older folks in a calorie deficit do well with more protein. I feel great.

Getting my health back with DASH diet and nutritionist. We're all different. If Keto and Low Carb works for you great. Get blood work done at least twice a year which I didn't when I started.
I don’t call my life style change as a keto diet. I call it TLC (total limited carbs). I limit to 20 or less TOTAL not net carbs. No processed or manufactured foods. Eat when hungry only but usually 2 meals a day. My Heath has not been better in years!!
My family (devotees of standard american diet) understands 20g of carbs/day. I shoot 4 3/1 Ketogenic diet to manage a seizure disorder. My worst day I execute a day with 50g of carbs, good days 20g. Blather, blather.... When I run an 18 mile race once a year, I train by doing some days 5 miles, some 8 miles. Sequentially building upto minimum of 10 miles per day.

There is no exact point of difference between LC and Keto. The body can subsist on ketones and glucose, and generally the difference is between the ratio of glucose and ketones, rather than a strict cut off, or transition point. Ketosis is not a zero serum glucose state. In practical terms when you want to lose weight some ketosis is necessary to burn fat, whilst avoiding being hungry. You can achieve this best by not eating anything.
This is my first time doing keto.. I've been taking pictures of my food to keep track. My friend said I'm not doing it right. That I just cut out carbs.. maybe I need more fat? I'm a pescatarian.. she said if I was keto I'd be eating a butt load of red meat and piles of cheese. I'm still incorporating fat but animal products are more expensive. I have a carton of eggs, I've been eating and I had some ceviche today. I have a fruteria near me.. low carb veg is cheaper where I'm at.. I feel like a fraud 😂
Its not wise to just restrict yourself like that. Meats and cheeses supply essential nutrients like zinc and calcium that you won't get out of fish and eggs. I know vegan keto folk and they basically eat leaves and look extremely aged and emaciated.
It is unfortunate you suggest we follow GOVERNMENT guidelines as they have changed, in some cases 360degrees from the first suggestion. Eggs were bad, then good , then bad, then ok in moderation , then good again. Please for the future, do not suggest the government is up to speed with what's best and focus on your real research. Thank you
That's a myth. SOME PEOPLE can convert proteins to glucose. SOME can even burn fat for energy over glucose. However if you're older, on certain medications or ever had a problem with your liver or pancreas you can't. That's why it fails for so many people.
Jesus is a Muslim and his name is not Jesus either. He is the prophet and the Messiah and a servant of Allah. If you die in this state, you will die as an eternal unbeliever because you do not accept the religion of Jesus, namely Islam. It is called Isa aleyhisselam! Have a little respect when considering his name and return to the religion of all prophets, Islam!
There's no such thing as a sub species nor did we evolve around our diet...we simply gained already but unknown technology which allowed us to manufactured foods which aren't as healthy as the food and it the state which God gave it to us
Thank you doctor. This is the first video that I've seen explaining what I've been telling people for years. I started an atkins diet 30 years ago and allow myself 12 carbs per day but I don't eat a keto diet. I actually don't keep up with how much protein or fats I consume although I do make an effort to cook with butter, eat eggs and some fatty meat, cheese, nuts and seeds. I likely stay in ketosis but I don't follow the limitations of a keto diet. Unfortunately keto has become the buzz word for all things low carb and it's used wrong. There are no keto recipes, no keto foods. They are all low carb items that are acceptable on a keto diet. Looking around many things are now labeled keto but they by themselves are only low carb. I've told people for years keto is low carb but low carb is rarely keto even if you're in ketosis. That seems to cause the most confusion among people. A keto diet is a strict diet where you have to remain in the guidelines for it. It doesn't matter if you're in ketosis if you're not following the keto guidelines. You're simply eating a low carb diet. There are multiple low carb diets that will get you into ketosis but as far as I'm aware only one keto diet exists. I also have noticed that many people are insisting that 50 to 100 carbs per day is low carb. I'll go by atkins. Start below 20 per day. After you get to the maintenance phase you can add 5 carbs every couple of weeks testing until you drop out of ketosis and then you have to reduce carbs some. The majority of people will likely fall somewhere between 20 to 30 carbs unless they are very physically active. Always have blood work done at least twice a year to check for issues. My doctor had me increase salt and decrease water intake to under 50 oz per day to maintain the correct sodium levels. One last thing that needs to be made clear to new low carb dieters. You don't control weight loss by low carb, you do it by reducing calories you consume. Low carb allows you to burn fats and also reduces your appetite making it easier to eat less.
Ketosis happens when your body gets more energy from fat we cant be in a state of Ketosis when we consume carbs and thus saying that we can have a low carb intake and be in a state of Ketosis is incorect
I had Keto diet for a year and gained weight because I could never reach ketosis due to too much sugar even if I had cut down to almost everything (I was around 50-60). The struggle was on fat. I had a hard time fulfilling my needs in fat. I ended up snacking and it kills it. Too much protein also. It's a difficult equilibrium, I found. I'm moving to vegetarian now and feel a lot better anyway. I recommend Michael Greger's book : How to not die. Great read.
Sorry you were unable to maintain. To be successful you need to count TOTAL carbs not net to max of 20/day, preferably less. No processed foods, limited dairy. You do not need to keep track of macros. Eat meats/fish with their fat. No need to add extra fat to the meals since your body will then burn its own fat cells. I’ve lost 104# in 18 months. Eat only when hungry, no snacks. Watch Go Keto with Casey or Dr Westman for more info. Hope you give it a try again. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done to improve my Heath and I’m a type 1 diabetic.
@@patriciacyzauskas4067 I was starving. I tried my best. Followed every rules but managed to exceed carbs (I used a macro tracker). I couldn’t get under 45-50/d
A big fan of Dr. Greger, although I don’t think one need go full on vegan. I recommend his book to all my patients. The reason you struggled to stay in ketosis may have been due to too much protein. Many of the amino acids are glucogenic. Excess intake of these can result in gluconeogenesis and subsequent reduction in ketones. It is possible to do vegetarian keto, but it takes a lot more planning and effort.
Soooo Atkins and the Keto diet are in fact the same. It's the exact same premise. Every person will have a different threshold to which they must lower carb intake inorder to enter ketosis. The Keto diet is associated with the most restrictive level. That does not justify the attempt to label a whole new diet method.
Americans get all neurotic splitting a simple diet into so many different names your head will spin. Low carb Low carb high fat Keto Paleo Ketovore Carnivore Líon diet 😂😂😂😂😂
Once you loose FAT , fk Keto , intermidiate fasting and all that.Unfortunally in the Ages of the Ages to stay lean and with energy you need to eat 5 times small meals ( BIRD FOOD MEALS) for sports and bodybuilding AKA Taperwear .... and not to be DUM AS FK withouth carbs. Like I am now to loose 10 kg pure Fat due to a 1 year car accident. I cant Drag my feet in the Gym with this Keto/Fasting no carb bullshit.
@@IgnoreMeImWrong Ok, you may well spend less and eat less. But I spend no time "worrying about" what I eat. I eat whatever I want. I enjoy a wide variety of all foods without restrictions. I love carbohydrates and I am very lean.
you dont want to be putting anything in your body that wouldn't have been accessible 50.0000 years ago people are getting heart attacks more often first time heart attacks are going up decade after decade since the 1970s so the less saturated fat you ate the more strokes you were likely to have
You’re effectively cutting your calories at the end of the day : that’s why you’re losing weight. All that fat in the diet leaves pudgyness. My keyo buddies are just getting moon faces. Disturbing

@@chrisaris8756 well, if you allow weight to bounce, takes more time to get back cause it messes up your metabolism.
I doubt you are eating too much fat. ....electrolytes... Increase 2 meals in 6 hours..Calories may be too low.
I have been eating Keto and I have lost too much weight so am looking to find the best solution. My belly is still the largest but rest of body looks to skinny at this point.
I went through diabetic ketoacidosis a few years ago and was about a day away from going into a diabetic coma. I was in the ICU for 2 days. I wouldn’t recommend it.
Doc. I like your definition. A keto diet is a diet that puts you in ketosis regardless of the food. One thing to note is that protein produces an insulin response. Even on a zero carb diet, consuming very lean protein can take someone out of ketosis (I’m proof of that).
Is it true that proteins are digested into carbohydrates and therefore a higher proportion of fat, rather than protein is necessary to substitute the lower carbohydrate intake?
Can you build muscle more on low carb than keto diet.
So if you do lchf what happens with the fatintake. I.e. do your body uses the fat after you burned all the carbs?
Thanks again Dr Dan.
Thx Doc! Always clear and informative appreciate ya!!
I've been trying to find out the benefits of a low carb diet. I am not overweight nor diabetic. A low carb diet is described in this video but not really talked about.
When uou refer to 20-50 carbs, do you mean total or net? (I heard one doctor say to only subtract the fiber, not the sugar alcohol.)
Hi, why don't you accept paypal to pay ? thanks.
Right now I’m doing keto but I may switch to low carb after a couple of years. Adding sweet potato complex carbs fruit etc…
I lost 100 lbs 2 years ago (I can’t believe it’s been that long. The first year of the pandemic I lost 100 lbs, 60 of it the first 4 months on keto with no cheat days or keto sweets. When I started introducing the low carb tortillas and breads and sweets it definitely slowed down lol but then I was in a bad wreck last Dec and gained 40 lbs back and then lost it again by this last Oct so I could have a tummy tuck and it’s been 3 months and I’ve gained 30 lbs!! I looked so good right after surgery but had so many healing complications and swelling and being off my diet for these last 3 months has made me look 6 months pregnant and I’m tired of it. Finally have enough motivation to start back and I’m so excited. I’m just worried because I can’t work out, hell I can’t do half of the activity I was doing because I’m still healing and still have an open wound. I’m either all in or all out and I do so much better on my diet when I can go to the gym or go walk and play with my kids at the park to exercise. Being home and unable to move like I use to just makes me bummed and it’s easier to cheat from just depression. I know if I can just get into ketosis and get past the first two weeks I’ll feel so much better and it’ll be easier. Just gotta get there!
Sounds dangerous losing so much so fast , and then again, and then again .
Don´t buy carbs in your house and you wount be slipping in bad habbits.

How many Grams of saturated fat should one eat?
I’m on a keto diet but when I talk to my GP (usually on the phone these days) or visit my diabetic practitioner (I’m type 2) I tell them I’m ‘trying low carb’ The reason for doing this is because I’m fed up of them telling me I’m going to be ill, my hair will fall out, it dangerous and unhealthy! Well I think eating what they suggest (porridge, sandwich and rice/pasta) will lead to me injecting insulin and being on medication all my life. When are they going to get educated 😢 The latest is wanting me to take a statin as a precaution
how are you doing now? Still on low carb?
@@islatalviharju3709 Yes. Lowered my Hba1c, lost 24 pounds 👍🏼 Thanks for asking
You should also include carnivore lifestyle
will the low carb diet be more efficient in terms of gaining muscles?
More efficient than what? Keto certainly isn't a good idea if you wanna build fast but in general if you have the protein count and the calories you'll be okay.
It can be the same thing if your into extreme workout. Long-distance runners who are on a low carb diet are very ketogenic
Best keto explanation EVER! THX Dr!!
Have you heard of autoimmune td2? Not sure what it is but my specialist said i need to go on insulin. I've been ketovore for 6 months. It didn't lower my sugar levels. Staying at around 14.5 with spikes. So a little weirded out at why it didn't help. In May a1c was 5.7 in Sept a1c 11.2.
How much carbs do you eat per day?

Hi, what about type 1 diabetes? Is a keto diet safe? And for a child? I mentioned it to doctor and they are dead against low carb/ keto for kids, especially type 1
There are plenty of children on ketogenic diets for epilepsy. I'm not sure about T1DM - Try type1keto.com/
Check out Dr. Richard Bernstein. He's a type 1 and became a doctor in his 40's in order to better understand/research his condition. I believe he is now in his 80's.

50-65% protein, under 5% carbs, rest is fat. I stopped calling it keto because folks think “high fat” when you say keto.I do this to both grow muscle and lose fat. Older folks in a calorie deficit do well with more protein. I feel great.
I'm concerned about the rising cost/removal of protein from the food chain by climate changers.

5 yrs ago I started Atkins and about 2 yrs ago started Keto. 6 mths ago I was told I developed Hyperinsulinemia 316 pmol/L also developed gout I now take 600mg Allopurinol and take Ramipril /HCT for high blood pressure. Getting my health back with DASH diet and nutritionist. We're all different. If Keto and Low Carb works for you great. Get blood work done at least twice a year which I didn't when I started.
how can keto... no sugar... give you these insulin levels ?

Kidney stones on low carb and keto
I don’t call my life style change as a keto diet. I call it TLC (total limited carbs). I limit to 20 or less TOTAL not net carbs. No processed or manufactured foods. Eat when hungry only but usually 2 meals a day. My Heath has not been better in years!!
But if your eating only 20 carbs you would be in ketosis. Are you carnivore? Way to go on great health.
My family (devotees of standard american diet) understands 20g of carbs/day. I shoot 4 3/1 Ketogenic diet to manage a seizure disorder. My worst day I execute a day with 50g of carbs, good days 20g. Blather, blather.... When I run an 18 mile race once a year, I train by doing some days 5 miles, some 8 miles. Sequentially building upto minimum of 10 miles per day. YOU r a scientist...How's about a pilot study on STRIVING and not succeeding some or most days, IS STILL BETTER than S.A.D. everyday?
I’ve done keto before. It’s too straining on me. I’m gonna do low carb. Gotta lose 45 pounds
"All fingers are thumbs, but not all thumbs are fingers."
Is that the same as someone being 'all fingers and thumbs'?
A thumb is NOT a finger.... you have ten digits... but only eight fingers...
Learned that the hard way from my wifes doctor when at the birth of my daughter I asked if she had ten fingers.... the doctor looked at me and started laughing....
Atkins Induction low car diet is less than 20 carbs and was and is around way before Keto. Keto is basically a modern copy of Atkins Induction.
There is no exact point of difference between LC and Keto. The body can subsist on ketones and glucose, and generally the difference is between the ratio of glucose and ketones, rather than a strict cut off, or transition point. Ketosis is not a zero serum glucose state. In practical terms when you want to lose weight some ketosis is necessary to burn fat, whilst avoiding being hungry. You can achieve this best by not eating anything.
I loose weight in high carbs diet , pasta and pizza etc. But I sweat a lot in Jiu-jitsu
I hate looking up low carb and then only see keto content. I feel like they should call themselves high fat instead so that I can search in peace😂
This is my first time doing keto.. I've been taking pictures of my food to keep track. My friend said I'm not doing it right. That I just cut out carbs.. maybe I need more fat? I'm a pescatarian.. she said if I was keto I'd be eating a butt load of red meat and piles of cheese. I'm still incorporating fat but animal products are more expensive. I have a carton of eggs, I've been eating and I had some ceviche today. I have a fruteria near me.. low carb veg is cheaper where I'm at.. I feel like a fraud 😂
Its not wise to just restrict yourself like that. Meats and cheeses supply essential nutrients like zinc and calcium that you won't get out of fish and eggs.
I know vegan keto folk and they basically eat leaves and look extremely aged and emaciated.
It is unfortunate you suggest we follow GOVERNMENT guidelines as they have changed, in some cases 360degrees from the first suggestion. Eggs were bad, then good , then bad, then ok in moderation , then good again.
Please for the future, do not suggest the government is up to speed with what's best and focus on your real research. Thank you
Legal reasons, probably.
you KNOW we can produce all the glucose we need. from proteins. Gluconeogenesis.
That's a myth.
SOME PEOPLE can convert proteins to glucose. SOME can even burn fat for energy over glucose.
However if you're older, on certain medications or ever had a problem with your liver or pancreas you can't.
That's why it fails for so many people.

Thank you doctor. This is the first video that I've seen explaining what I've been telling people for years. I started an atkins diet 30 years ago and allow myself 12 carbs per day but I don't eat a keto diet. I actually don't keep up with how much protein or fats I consume although I do make an effort to cook with butter, eat eggs and some fatty meat, cheese, nuts and seeds. I likely stay in ketosis but I don't follow the limitations of a keto diet. Unfortunately keto has become the buzz word for all things low carb and it's used wrong. There are no keto recipes, no keto foods. They are all low carb items that are acceptable on a keto diet. Looking around many things are now labeled keto but they by themselves are only low carb. I've told people for years keto is low carb but low carb is rarely keto even if you're in ketosis. That seems to cause the most confusion among people. A keto diet is a strict diet where you have to remain in the guidelines for it. It doesn't matter if you're in ketosis if you're not following the keto guidelines. You're simply eating a low carb diet. There are multiple low carb diets that will get you into ketosis but as far as I'm aware only one keto diet exists. I also have noticed that many people are insisting that 50 to 100 carbs per day is low carb. I'll go by atkins. Start below 20 per day. After you get to the maintenance phase you can add 5 carbs every couple of weeks testing until you drop out of ketosis and then you have to reduce carbs some. The majority of people will likely fall somewhere between 20 to 30 carbs unless they are very physically active. Always have blood work done at least twice a year to check for issues. My doctor had me increase salt and decrease water intake to under 50 oz per day to maintain the correct sodium levels. One last thing that needs to be made clear to new low carb dieters. You don't control weight loss by low carb, you do it by reducing calories you consume. Low carb allows you to burn fats and also reduces your appetite making it easier to eat less.
Ketosis happens when your body gets more energy from fat we cant be in a state of Ketosis when we consume carbs
and thus saying that we can have a low carb intake and be in a state of Ketosis is incorect
I had Keto diet for a year and gained weight because I could never reach ketosis due to too much sugar even if I had cut down to almost everything (I was around 50-60). The struggle was on fat. I had a hard time fulfilling my needs in fat. I ended up snacking and it kills it. Too much protein also. It's a difficult equilibrium, I found.
I'm moving to vegetarian now and feel a lot better anyway. I recommend Michael Greger's book : How to not die. Great read.
Sorry you were unable to maintain. To be successful you need to count TOTAL carbs not net to max of 20/day, preferably less. No processed foods, limited dairy. You do not need to keep track of macros. Eat meats/fish with their fat. No need to add extra fat to the meals since your body will then burn its own fat cells. I’ve lost 104# in 18 months. Eat only when hungry, no snacks. Watch Go Keto with Casey or Dr Westman for more info. Hope you give it a try again. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done to improve my Heath and I’m a type 1 diabetic.
@@patriciacyzauskas4067 I was starving. I tried my best. Followed every rules but managed to exceed carbs (I used a macro tracker). I couldn’t get under 45-50/d
A big fan of Dr. Greger, although I don’t think one need go full on vegan. I recommend his book to all my patients. The reason you struggled to stay in ketosis may have been due to too much protein. Many of the amino acids are glucogenic. Excess intake of these can result in gluconeogenesis and subsequent reduction in ketones.
It is possible to do vegetarian keto, but it takes a lot more planning and effort.
People, just stop eating bread, pasta and rice. Glucose from natural fruits and other sources it’s fine, eat as our ancestors wouldve
Zero carb will surely be in ketones
😘❤️👍
Soooo Atkins and the Keto diet are in fact the same. It's the exact same premise. Every person will have a different threshold to which they must lower carb intake inorder to enter ketosis. The Keto diet is associated with the most restrictive level. That does not justify the attempt to label a whole new diet method.
Americans get all neurotic splitting a simple diet into so many different names your head will spin.

Once you loose FAT , fk Keto , intermidiate fasting and all that.Unfortunally in the Ages of the Ages to stay lean and with energy you need to eat 5 times small meals ( BIRD FOOD MEALS) for sports and bodybuilding AKA Taperwear .... and not to be DUM AS FK withouth carbs. Like I am now to loose 10 kg pure Fat due to a 1 year car accident. I cant Drag my feet in the Gym with this Keto/Fasting no carb bullshit.

you dont want to be putting anything in your body that wouldn't have been accessible 50.0000 years ago people are getting heart attacks more often first time heart attacks are going up decade after decade since the 1970s so the less saturated fat you ate the more strokes you were likely to have
You’re effectively cutting your calories at the end of the day : that’s why you’re losing weight. All that fat in the diet leaves pudgyness. My keyo buddies are just getting moon faces. Disturbing
Moon face is also from loads of cortisol being released. Ketosis can be a stress on the body releasing adrenaline and cortisol.
This video is concerning as keto IS low carb. SMH
you guys are killing yourselves lol
Not really. Once you get a good understanding of carbs, it’s easy?
