    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.

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.

      @@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

  • @martenw8341
    @martenw8341 8 місяців тому +13

    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

    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).

    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!

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    Was on keto diet for 5 months and enjoyed the food and cutting out carbs. I quit it because my sleep was affected (harder to fall asleep and stay asleep) so instead of having loads of energy, I had none! My eyes were also extremely dry and sore on the diet, and the bad sleep didn't help those. Any tips on how to overcome these problems as I'd love to go keto again.
