Here’s something you all should hear. Three years ago I had viral meningitis that left me severely neurologically damaged and bedridden for two years. I slept around the clock for the first year, as is common with brain injured persons. Long story short, I wasn’t improving. I learned that the keto diet is being used for some brain injured soldiers and I knew that it had long been used for children with severe epilepsy. I had lost my will to go on in such a reduced state of being. And i was a burden to my family. In desperation, last November I started the keto diet. I started getting better at around the two week mark. I’ve been getting better ever since. I’ll never be the same as i was before my illness. But I now have a quality of life that is acceptable. I’ll never go back to eating carbohydrates.
Gary Simone I don’t really know. I literally slept around the clock for two years. I was very messed up. I couldn’t walk or talk or read or write or swallow. I had hyperacusis, nystagmus, a severe vestibular disorder, c-diff, photo toxic rash, post herpetic neuralgia, and on and on. The reason I can’t comment on my mental state was that I had severe memory difficulties, lost executive functioning, and existed in utter confusion for two years. I couldn’t remember how to make coffee, so I poured boiling water over my hand, that kind of thing. I couldn’t remember how to make coffee every day for a year. I couldn’t learn or remember. When I started to get better, I was angry, and frustrated to the point of tears. Today, I’m sad because of all the ability I’ve lost. But it wouldn’t call it depression.
I am a 78 year old man and have been on the Atkins diet for 25 years. I have lost a total of 100 pounds without really trying! Thanks to Covid-19 my wife and I didn't go out much. We stayed home and watched television and used the computer. A lot! We got a lot of rest including cat naps since there was nothing better to do. We are going out bicycling today and I was concerned that I might have trouble fitting into my clothing due to not exercising over the winter. That was a joke! Everything was too large except me. Shows you how we think. No exercise all winter - a lot of rest - would have to mean weight gain. I lost 20 pounds! I was right about one thing though. Nothing fit. Everything was a little too large. At 78 I am now the same weight as when I was 18 years old. It was a fantastic feeling. For the last 25 years I have never been starving. When I was slightly hungry I ate. Something I was never able to do with a clear conscience before Atkins. With all the low carb cooking videos there is no reason for getting tired of eating the same foods. All the best Dr. Westman you are doing a great job!
I am the 78 year old man below just adding more information. Casseroles are a great way to keep food ready to heat up on a moments notice. Pizza casseroles and meatball casseroles are some of my favorites. I no longer need to have a crust on my pizza. Saves time, money and carbs by eating pizza in the form of a casserole. I know that most people prefer having a crust on their pizza. Learn to live without it and it will save you a lot of carbs over the years. I was a die hard crust lover who has learned to live without the crust for the last 25 years. There are many ways to prepare foods. Learn the best way to use fewer carbs. There are videos showing you how to prepare anything low carb. Become an expert by watching and listening to experts.
I do those type of casseroles without any crusts ... Pizza Casserole, Tuna Salmon Cheese Casserole, Taco Casserole, etc. I also do what I call 'Fixins in a Bowl' which is just the same as the casseroles but in a bowl. I have pork rinds if desired, too. Then I freeze portions in individual containers and thaw as needed!
Taco salad , crustless pizza , pork rinds instead of chips , tuna, egg, chicken, ham salad in a bowl instead of sandwich. Easy substitutions. I love keto, low carb living, no feeling bloated , no brain fog, no insulin crash. 👍😁
*One of the key aspects of a low-carb diet is eliminating or minimizing certain foods. This typically includes sugary beverages, refined grains, and processed snacks. By avoiding these foods, you can better manage your carbohydrate intake and promote a healthier lifestyle.*
As a type 2 diabetic I eat no bread rice or potatoes or any other food made from grains for that matter. Going very low carb I now have an A1C of 5.6 and shooting for 5.2 or less.
I read Dr. Lustig’s book! It was an eye opener. I have limited my fruit intake to just berries. I didn’t know that about sugar & fructose prior to Dr. Lustig’s book.
I’ve been reducing carbs and sugar (not completely eliminating) the last 7 months and have lost 55 pounds - have another 50 to lose but know I will need to lower my carbs even further - can easily not have rice potatoes corn pumpkin etc but love my bread and pasta noodles - Time restricted eating has also helped me I skip breakfast most day - have reduced my AIC from 8.3 to 5.7 and significantly reduced inflammatory and cortisol levels - my kidneys are also no longer leaking protein so thrilled with that
Fiber is actually unnecessary, at least for some people like myself. I used to have constipation for many years on a moderate to high fibre diet but since going very low carb and low fibre, I've been just fine. I think excess fibre can just make things worse for people because it adds bulk to your stool, making it harder to pass.
My mother used to say I was born constipated. Would go once every 10 days or so and even that was painful. Im just severely sensitive to fiber. Almost two years keto and I have a very nice morning routine.
That's great for you but not everyone does well with limited fiber. I like staying regular and didn't like the decrease of fiber going close to the keto level of net carbs. I had to supplement.
Thank you Dr. Westman for being a Frontiersman on the Ketogenic Lifestyle “Nutritional Ketosis” You have opened a Big DOOR 🚪 for Others to Follow, I diffidently Respect You Kind Sir and Follow You Always... I’m 58 year old male down 60 lbs on Keto for 3 Years and Now have gone Ketovore with Dr. Ken D. Berry, I Coach others and Love to Help Those Who Struggle with Their Health ❤️
I am close to keto diet I do low carb diet with slightly more fat. Actually, I can go off junk food craving for long hours (intermittent fasting) It fixed variety of issues especially fatty liver and insulin resistance
Even though it says cauliflower tots versus potato tots they still have things in there that are high carb so you probably want to read the labels first before purchasing! I thought this was a great idea till I looked at ingredients and carb count.
It’s so ironic that there are way too many commercials and almost all are for drugs that are killing people or treating symptoms only and causing side effects
I've been doing keto For 3 years. I was never really overweight but was considered insulin resident. My cholesterol was 258 my tryglyerides were high etc.. I read labels I don't eat bread, rice, oatmeal, proceeded food etc... I've simplified my food's so much. And have no real appetite. BUT I just had labs done yesterday May 25 2021. My kidneys are functioning low just under the lowest number on the chart? My insulin was 7 which baffles me...I count sugar and eat less than 25 a day max. I try to eat things with zero or 1 gram. But max 6. I eat 25 carbs or less. My only fruit is fresh blueberries everyone needs a treat and this is my sweet treat that's how low I've trained my taste to go on sugar. I drink water or LaCroix water no alcohol or pop. I still could lose 15 lbs. I don't eat cereal. I eat 1000 cal or less. I don't know what else to do. Why my cholesterol won't come down. Why my kidneys are low? And no I don't use Morton table salt. I use hymalian sea salt but rarely salt anything. I can't get any answers from my doctor other than let's watch it or it could be herarity. I also intermittent fast.
Hi Shelley, I would actually consider joining the wait list for the Keto Made Simple Masterclass. We run a survey at the end of each course and the overwhelming majority said they learned something new that made all the difference. Unfortunately, internet Keto has led to so much misinformation and confusion. The Keto Made Simple Masterclass takes you through the steps to get you where you want to be. Included is three weeks of invaluable support within a private Facebook group. 👇 adaptyourlifeacademy.com/keto-made-simple-masterclass/
It may be hereditary because I am having the exact same problem as you. I'm doing just about everything you mentioned you are doing and exercise 6 days a week and do HIIT. I'm still having problems 6 months into dieting.
Have you looked into to Carnivore? It encourages eating plenty of animal fats and cook with ghee, eat some grass fed butter. I like Kerrygold. Also eat eggs. But are you intermittent fasting? I like eating 8 hours or less and fast 16 hours. So fast, water basically, sometimes tea no sugar.
Fruits are processed by your liver like ALCOHOL. Not healthy. Spinach HIGH in OXALATES. Dr Ken Berry has good videos on fruits and any Sally K Norton video will make you abandon ALOT of vegetables and fruits. I cracked two teeth and had osteopenia from my plant based years🥲 Best wishes on your journey to optimum health.
About 25 years ago lost 200 lbs. low fat,low calorie bullshit took 2.5 years to achieve walking and pure starvation and fear of heart attack,could not maintain and weight was creeping back on me,out of fear and from doctor recommended lap band,colossal mistake,had I known about keto my life could have been so different,now 58 what a waste of time on those low fat caloric reduced diets.
I chew a lot of gum / (former smoker) 6 yr smoke free / of course weight problems since stopping / I couldnt make it (lol) with out my gum . I chew surgar free but also have had regular. What are you thoughts or anyone that sees this .. Its hard to loose weight
I have a question. I’m keeping my carbs below 20grms. However I’m finding it super difficult to get enough fat...I’m filled to the gills on one meal a day 20:4 or 24 hour fasts a few days a week. I can’t eat that much protein ( ie bacon etc). I use butter, coconut oil as much as I can, but damn I get full. Example: late breakfast, had two eggs, 3 slices of bacon, Lunch: 5 ounces of ground beef with organic pasta sauce over zucchini noodles. 🤢 full. Is it a worry to not get the fat? Believe me I have plenty of body fat to burn! So, maybe I shouldn’t worry since I have the body fat to burn?
I think you’re getting this wrong. Here is a video you may want to watch. ua-cam.com/video/ndwc1L_Qy1Q/v-deo.html Lastly, we are launching Dr. Westman’s “Keto Made Simple Masterclass” tomorrow. This is an e learning course showing you EXACTLY how to implement the program as well as three weeks in a private Facebook Student support group where Dr. Westman will be going live each week to answer your questions.

@@AdaptYourLife thank you! I watched your video. Makes total sense. I said to myself “ I’ve got fat to lose, why am I supposed to put more fat on something?” I couldn’t do it. I’m doing very well. Keeping my carbs under 20grms. I find my caloric intake is pretty low because I get full eating one meal a day. I have no cravings, I’m not even very hungry when it’s time to eat ( probably because I’m being pretty strict and my meals are quite boring). I signed up! Hope to gain more information. I’ve lost 22lbs in just over a month. I would like that to continue.
My wife and I have taken a good probiotic, one that has to be refrigerated, for around 20 years. We eat mostly whole real foods, very little processed or fast foods. We are in our early 60s and get very good check ups. We take our probiotic every day. Our Heavenly Father does not make things for nothing. We would not have taste buds that can taste sweet if we were not meant to use them. We eat fruits and sweet root crops, like sweet potatoes. We also eat butternut squash, etc. This works for us.
After 2 days, I went on a 10 mile unicycle ride, without dinner, and I was not ravenously hungry when I got back. How do you articulate this state where you would be happy to eat if it's available, but you don't have any real craving for food, and if you weren't given an opportunity to eat, you would not be disappointed? By the way,, I slipped on the lifestyle and I've gained all my weight back, and am trying to get back into it. 3 days in.
I make my keto bread... this morning had with sliced smoked salmon. 3 Tablespoon Almond Flour, 1 Tablespoon (olive or coconut) oil, 1 egg, 1 Teaspoon basil seeds, 2 Teaspoons ground flax. Mix very well. I put the mixture in a "bread-shaped" silicone dish, put Everything seasoning on top, microwave for 2 minutes on high. Delish in the morning with salmon, cream cheese, plain, etc., as a morning "bread". I have it with tuna for lunch.
Halo dear doctor tell me know i am 64 years mom and I have all my life obese in these day i am 94kg I try every diet but not work easily i am blood pressure patients is your diet is ok for me -i am so scared from keto diet for heart and kidney disease
i have like 1/8 cup of strawberries and i guess too many almonds yesterday. gained 4 lbs of water weight over night. so now I know not to incorporate strawberries and to strictly limit nuts. I don't say eliminate because i have them and I don't want to just throw them away. i may be able to get my brother to eat them.
Much would be gained if people could stop drinking all the sugar drinks like Coke, juices and the like!! People behave like children that cry if they dont get some sweet treats!!
Yup. My mother at 60 years of age refuses to stop drinking lemonade after she has had a heart attack. She doesn't drink it every day but even so, it's something she shouldn't be consuming at all. I'm 32 and trying to educate my family on this and not getting very far..
@@MMA-CLIPS2 I know what you mean. My husband never really drank soda the whole time we first dated. Now he is addicted to sodas. I can't get him to stop!
Out of curiosity since I haven't seen it mentioned, is there a concern about oxalates in foods? It's not a Keto issue, per se, but I'm told it can be a concern, especially with foods such as spinach, chard, sesame, almonds.
A great message somewhat lost with the amount of ads - I'm aware channels need to earn money and I make a point of watching the ads to support channels I like if it's just a couple in the middle but when it's every few mins it breaks the conversation up so much it's hard to keep focused. Perhaps you need to adjust your ad preference ?
Hi The one event that would really put Keto into the mainstream is Keto items on menus of major restaurants. This would do more for low carb than all else. If Panera offered a low carb bread or dominos offered a keto pizza it improve the acceptability so much. And it’s seems to me they would be an incentive as they viable from a marketing standpoint.
Rather than restaurants offering keto knock-offs of high-carb foods, I'd hope to see a new restaurant chain, call it 'Keto', that simply offers real, whole, keto foods - meats, greens, cheeses, butter, etc., with zero seed/veg oils, zero grains, zero sugars, zero processed crap. It'd be great to be able to eat-out again, and feel good about it and enjoy it... I don't know if such a business model would be viable today, but I know I'd patronize such a place.
Yes I agree that’s better food. But the impact to change of our standard diet will come from a bigger awareness and acceptance. And I think having Keto menu choices and chain restaurants would accomplish this more than anything else even if it’s “knock off”. It will make more aware of why we even consider low carb important.
I’ve lost over 80 pounds in 8 months of keto and daily 18:6 intermittend fasting. My blood ketones are around 0.8-1.0 most days. But I am still hungry most days so what am I doing wrong? Or is this “you’ll no longer be hungry on keto’” really a myth?
If I didn’t eat enough fat I would have cravings. No cravings when my fat was high enough. Now 90lbs down, I can achieve this feeling with much less fat.
And also any food that is cooked and brown has sugar in it especially onions. The fat in which the ingredients are cooked is NOT the reason why they turn brown, sugar does! So what is left?
What foods are you calling high protein? Beans and peas are also hi carb and will raise blood sugar. It is impossible for Meat proteins to raise blood sugar.
Some drinks raise the blood sugar-black unsweetened coffee and tea does make some people’s blood sugar go up. I guess your body thinks that a meal is coming.
I heard him say if you want to lose weight keep carbs below 20 grams a day. I don’t know the carb Amt of soy products but most are GMO. Can also cause estrogen increase.
I definitely understand what you are stating and I have followed this paradigm myself always staying as low as I can on carbs in general. However, I am still wondering if you & many others are missing the real central point! That point I’m trying to make is that the real direct culprit to eventual cardiac problems is really “oxidative stress “! Oxidative stress we know will damage the LDL particles which I believe makes them very “sticky” and smaller. This allows these particles to the epethealial lining of the arteries and create a plaque and certain white blood cells go after that site due to some immunilogicsl reaction and as a result it builds up with white blood cells, cholesterol, calcium ions proteins i guess too snd keeps building as long as there is “oxidation” or oxidative stress going on! So can you tell me if the glucose or fructose themselves have high enough oxidation potentials to invoke electron transfer reactions causing more radicals to also form is by definition a single electron in an orbital. And this single electron really wants to pair with another electron to make it more stable in terms of spin multiplicity. Or after the sugars get converted to fat with have many keto groups, is it this that is the culprit for the oxidative stress effects that go on? But I would like to ask, am I correct by stating that its “oxidative stress “ that is what everyone needs to avoid. And are there tables that I can look up that promotes “oxidative stress” even indirectly???
Watch Dr Paul Mason’s lectures. He goes in depth at the level you are looking for in a very understandable way. Most people are content to eat some nutrient dense food, lose weight and feel better, some of us like to dig a little deeper. Ben Bikman also.
If I am adding a fruit (lets say Mango Chunks) to my smoothie that has higher sugar content and then add enough fiber rich foods (like Avocado chunks) to bring the net carbs down to few grams. Would my smoothie not be considered low carb overall?
Faisal Rafique you need to count all the carbs in your smoothie, one ingredient doesn’t counter the other, all are added to the total carbs. Mango is not considered a “low carb” fruit, try a few berries 😊
@@AdaptYourLife I enjoy fruit smoothies but will now switch to plants and add either blue berries or strawberries. .ADAPT...can keto diet heal depression and anxity ???
Most vegies are fruits! tomatoes, zucchini,cucumber,avocado,bell pepper,squash,beans anything that bears seed within as opposed to berries which seeds are outside.
I got fatter doing keto diet psorious got worse felt tired all the time it did work at first defo but now I'm mystified what I can do I've read all the books I was exhausted all the time
agree that carbs are not essential nutrients because humans can make carbs / glucose as needed. We have a system for gluconeogenesis which uses amino acids and glycerol for glucose synthesis as required - but the mechanism is inefficient one . The daily capacity of human being for gluconeogenesis is estimated to be about 2.8 gm / kg body weight / day . About 200 gm / day for an adult weighing 70 kg. But if we consume carbs ( only sufficient enough) then requirement for protein will go down. Body will use ingested carbs for obligatory requirement. In this case proteins would be preferably used for other body functions. Would it be advisable to to eat carbs up to 120 to 200 gm / day so as to spare proteins for other body functions ? - protein sparing effect of carbs. Obviously the carbs should be unprocessed and no sugar !!! Any scientific argument would be appreciated -
Dr I hope you can find this because I have a major question which you can answer me like no one else! So. December 19 had 2 stents placed. 90% obstruction. No damage though caused. I have been ketogenic since and also I walk 6km daily. My A1c is
Sandra Westley, I am not a Doctor, but what hit me from what you’ve said, is calm down stress makes things worse, I would think perhaps eating so much heart which is a rich meat probably triggered what happened, everyone is different and there bodies work different and that may be your reaction to rich food if you have a tendency to get Uris acid, I would put it down to an experience not to repeat, and eat for a while less rich meat, and do some intermittent fasting till you get back to where you were.
Just eliminating these oils will make a difference in your health. It is so easy to do. Just replace them with the healthy oils that JohnR219 lists below. Save your bacon grease and cook with it.
What kind of bread was being eaten during biblical times that it was used as a metaphor for Jesus being "the bread of life" or praying "give us this day our daily bread"?
If it was during the Passover, it was a special wheat---if you see Kosher for Passover on items such as Matzo, it is unbleached and unbromated wheat flour with water added---Though oftentimes depicted as a roll or a small french bread loaf in paintings, Jesus would indeed have been eating unleavened bread for the Passover...i.e. matzo.
24carrot gold it was Einkorn type wheat, and stone ground. The grinding process did not result in an extremely refined white powder that modern steel rollers produce, so more nutrients and a little less carbs that take longer to be digested. Also, the bread was raised using the sourdough technique, which uses bacteria, rather than yeast. The bacteria digest a certain amount of the carbs. So the bread had a little less carbs and a little more nutrients than modern bread. But not a huge difference. The thing to note, however, is that up until the industrial revolution, total carbs in a meal were far less that today, especially with zero refined sugar. Around Europe, staples were meat and cabbage. Bread with carbs was eaten with it, but meat has no carbs and cabbage very little. It's the total environment that counts, not just one food item.
I'm surprised he's bringing up cauliflower tots. Read the ingredients. If you are buying them pre-made at a store you are still setting yourself up for diabetes. There are so many low carb recipes on you tube for things like this. Where the ingredients are good and clean.
Where would I get my minimum requirements of Vitamins and minerals from fat? I am most confused about what my body needs to properly function and Keto does not ring well.The body requires food to survive and transform everything into anything, sugar into fat, fat into sugar as needed.But IMO if you exercise and work with a diet of 1700or 1800 calories/day anybody will loose weight and detox quit rapidly. French food relies mostly on carbs and meat and yet before the fast food invasion was renown for being "skinny". South East Asia is also "skinny" and eat all sort of carbs.After watching dozen and dozen of videos and interviews I still do not hear the scientist talking about menus...they all speak about how good it is and what you should not have.Why isn't this diet available in schools?Doctor Atkins died and weighted over 400 lbs.I am afraid that like building muscles when you stop it all comes back as fat...
Hi One Amongall, there are three macronutrients, Carbohydrates, Protein and fat. Only two are essential, protein and fat. You body cannot make either of these macronutrients on its own. Carbohydrates are not essential and our bodies can make glucose without it through a process called gluconeogenesis. A well formulated Keto diet will not require any Vitimin supplementation. Yes, most calorie restricted diets will result in weight loss but a Keto diet does so without the hunger. This is fundamentally different to any other diet. The science behind a Keto diet is robust and when comparing a low fat to a low carb diet side by side, the low carb diet beats the low fat diet by around 30 to 1. Dr Atkins was not 400 pounds when he died and he died from falling on ice and hitting his head. I hope this helps 😊
In terms of the argument for being a sugar burner using a low fat nutritional approach vs a fat burner using a low carb approach: I’m a sports massage therapist not a physiologist but it seems to me that if the body stores the vast majority of its excess energy as fat then shouldn’t that be a big indicator that biologically we were designed to eat very little carbs and focus on eating/burning fat? It seems like if we were really meant to be sugar burners God would have designed us to store excess energy as glucose/glycogen primarily.
Amy L we were in fact designed to eat very little carbs, thousands of years ago, fruit would be seasonal, fruit didn’t contain the high amounts of sugar they now contain and people would have to rely on their own fat stores to get them through times of food scarcity. Being a sugar burner is a poor mechanism for survival.
Adapt Your Life hey I agree the keto way of life and low carb is the best way but I was wondering do you have sources? I’m asking so I can send to people who are skeptical
Noah Ahmed here is a helpful page, published research done by Dr. Westman drericwestman.blog/publications/ I’m sure you can find more from other doctors 😊
@@AdaptYourLife Yes I’m sure that’s right but even a slight rise in glucose would mean a raise in insulin correct? What about liver that spiked me 50 points I now only eat half slice and no onions! Thanks for all you do for us.
@@AdaptYourLife I hate to keep bothering you but nobody has ever commented on my problem with liver! Do you know why liver would spike (150) glucose readings?
Maybe they are more meant as a rare treat or to feed His non-human creatures. Also due to fruits being so much sweeter and often shipped from great distances could be factors as to more problems. Not to mention our present day sedentary lifestyle.
No he's not. The truth is many diets and styles of eating can work if you stick to it. But some have different effects on health and some are easier to stick with than others. I tried vegan and vegetarian diets and couldn't stick to them. Now some of my health issues are disappearing and it's not hard to stick to keto. I'm not hungry all the time as I was before.
@@anabathurst8721 thanks for that. I can’t see how both schools of thought can be right. They are polar opposite’s . I follow the low carb drs and have done well so “eat only carb “drs like Barnard .
@@garyroberts3859 well if you ate only celery you'd lose weight but it's very boring. I tried following Dr's like Barnard because low fat for heart health made sense but it didn't work for me. I LOVE potatoes but couldn't lose any weight or stick to it. That's why I find keto is the way to go for me. But I don't make my way of eating a religion. If someone disagrees That's OK with me.
@@anabathurst8721 thanks for your messages, you’ve educated me in a couple of things you said. I love the… “If you ate only celery…” I’ve never thought of that.. Since late 2019 when I started researching I haven’t eaten Potato’s, rice, pasta, bread and I switched from sugar and milk in my coffee to just cream. It is working for me I’m no longer diabetic and I’ve lost 8 kgs …83 to 75 kgs, (so I wasn’t fat). I’m quite strict I eat very few veggies I make wraps with seaweed sheets most days, different meats, prawns and salmon with avocado, mushroom and lettuce . Breakfast is mostly bacon and eggs. 2 meals a day, never hungry and my fasts are 18-21 hours.
I hate the zucchini substituted as noodles and the sweet potatoes substituted as fries. Some of the cauliflower products ( like cauliflower mash as mashed potatoes) are gross to me too. I like some cauliflower products( like Green Giant cauliflower and broccoli hashbrowns) but I am sure doctors and dieticians won't find those products to be healthy.
The noodle substitutes are mostly awful, but I like the Shiritaki riced noodles. I rinse them, then boil them in a pot of water for 10 minutes, then finish them in the frying pan with some butter, garlic powder, and lemon pepper. Due to cost the rest of the family gets the usual pasta.

Here’s something you all should hear. Three years ago I had viral meningitis that left me severely neurologically damaged and bedridden for two years. I slept around the clock for the first year, as is common with brain injured persons. Long story short, I wasn’t improving. I learned that the keto diet is being used for some brain injured soldiers and I knew that it had long been used for children with severe epilepsy. I had lost my will to go on in such a reduced state of being. And i was a burden to my family. In desperation, last November I started the keto diet. I started getting better at around the two week mark. I’ve been getting better ever since. I’ll never be the same as i was before my illness. But I now have a quality of life that is acceptable. I’ll never go back to eating carbohydrates.
Diane Taylor thank you for sharing your story with us 😊
Adapt Your Life Studies need to be done. This way of eating gave me the energy I needed to begin to rehabilitate myself. It’s my miracle.
@@Mrs.TJTaylor did you suffer depression á well and ì so đi it heal it
Wow amazing @diane Taylor
Gary Simone I don’t really know. I literally slept around the clock for two years. I was very messed up. I couldn’t walk or talk or read or write or swallow. I had hyperacusis, nystagmus, a severe vestibular disorder, c-diff, photo toxic rash, post herpetic neuralgia, and on and on. The reason I can’t comment on my mental state was that I had severe memory difficulties, lost executive functioning, and existed in utter confusion for two years. I couldn’t remember how to make coffee, so I poured boiling water over my hand, that kind of thing. I couldn’t remember how to make coffee every day for a year. I couldn’t learn or remember. When I started to get better, I was angry, and frustrated to the point of tears. Today, I’m sad because of all the ability I’ve lost. But it wouldn’t call it depression.
I am a 78 year old man and have been on the Atkins diet for 25 years. I have lost a total of 100 pounds without really trying! Thanks to Covid-19 my wife and I didn't go out much. We stayed home and watched television and used the computer. A lot! We got a lot of rest including cat naps since there was nothing better to do. We are going out bicycling today and I was concerned that I might have trouble fitting into my clothing due to not exercising over the winter. That was a joke! Everything was too large except me. Shows you how we think. No exercise all winter - a lot of rest - would have to mean weight gain. I lost 20 pounds! I was right about one thing though. Nothing fit. Everything was a little too large. At 78 I am now the same weight as when I was 18 years old. It was a fantastic feeling. For the last 25 years I have never been starving. When I was slightly hungry I ate. Something I was never able to do with a clear conscience before Atkins. With all the low carb cooking videos there is no reason for getting tired of eating the same foods. All the best Dr. Westman you are doing a great job!
U are very articulate and I wish you the best
You probably lost 20 pounds of muscle
U don't worry about that fake bug.

I am the 78 year old man below just adding more information. Casseroles are a great way to keep food ready to heat up on a moments notice. Pizza casseroles and meatball casseroles are some of my favorites. I no longer need to have a crust on my pizza. Saves time, money and carbs by eating pizza in the form of a casserole. I know that most people prefer having a crust on their pizza. Learn to live without it and it will save you a lot of carbs over the years. I was a die hard crust lover who has learned to live without the crust for the last 25 years. There are many ways to prepare foods. Learn the best way to use fewer carbs. There are videos showing you how to prepare anything low carb. Become an expert by watching and listening to experts.
Check out Indigo Nili she makes egg white bread (probably does pizza bases too) ua-cam.com/video/AD_WHIrODOI/v-deo.html
I do those type of casseroles without any crusts ... Pizza Casserole, Tuna Salmon Cheese Casserole, Taco Casserole, etc. I also do what I call 'Fixins in a Bowl' which is just the same as the casseroles but in a bowl. I have pork rinds if desired, too. Then I freeze portions in individual containers and thaw as needed!
Thank you Sir! Could you give where to look for some of your favorite recipes?
Taco salad , crustless pizza , pork rinds instead of chips , tuna, egg, chicken, ham salad in a bowl instead of sandwich. Easy substitutions. I love keto, low carb living, no feeling bloated , no brain fog, no insulin crash. 👍😁
*One of the key aspects of a low-carb diet is eliminating or minimizing certain foods. This typically includes sugary beverages, refined grains, and processed snacks. By avoiding these foods, you can better manage your carbohydrate intake and promote a healthier lifestyle.*
that's pretty much every sensible diet
Where can I find a keto cookbook that is true keto? Your name suggests you have some? Thank you.
And seed oils
As a type 2 diabetic I eat no bread rice or potatoes or any other food made from grains for that matter. Going very low carb I now have an A1C of 5.6 and shooting for 5.2 or less.
Are you on meds?
Ok
You can do it and be med free. Best wishes.
I read Dr. Lustig’s book! It was an eye opener. I have limited my fruit intake to just berries. I didn’t know that about sugar & fructose prior to Dr. Lustig’s book.
I’ve been reducing carbs and sugar (not completely eliminating) the last 7 months and have lost 55 pounds - have another 50 to lose but know I will need to lower my carbs even further - can easily not have rice potatoes corn pumpkin etc but love my bread and pasta noodles - Time restricted eating has also helped me I skip breakfast most day - have reduced my AIC from 8.3 to 5.7 and significantly reduced inflammatory and cortisol levels - my kidneys are also no longer leaking protein so thrilled with that
I'm curious, how do you know you were leaking protein. My CRP, AST and ALT levels are elevated but doctors can't tell why.
Fiber is actually unnecessary, at least for some people like myself. I used to have constipation for many years on a moderate to high fibre diet but since going very low carb and low fibre, I've been just fine. I think excess fibre can just make things worse for people because it adds bulk to your stool, making it harder to pass.
My mother used to say I was born constipated. Would go once every 10 days or so and even that was painful. Im just severely sensitive to fiber. Almost two years keto and I have a very nice morning routine.
I totally agree with you.
Yes, this is true. Severe chronic constipation since I was young, I eliminated fiber and now my #2 is flawless every day.
That's great for you but not everyone does well with limited fiber. I like staying regular and didn't like the decrease of fiber going close to the keto level of net carbs. I had to supplement.
As someone with IBS-D, l can say fiber is extremely inflammatory and makes the condition much worse.
It’s so true , I’m on keto diet for one year , I love it , my mood is so much calmer than before , looooove it 🤩🤩🤩

It fixed variety of issues especially fatty liver and insulin resistance
I love watching these & gaining more knowledge.
We are so happy you enjoy them. We love making them for you guys 😊
Even though it says cauliflower tots versus potato tots they still have things in there that are high carb so you probably want to read the labels first before purchasing! I thought this was a great idea till I looked at ingredients and carb count.
Often foods that tout cauliflower are made with some cauliflower, but not completely OF cauliflower…..ex. cauliflower pizza crust
My problem,since i had covid,i dont have my drive to be on low carb/ keto and i use to be on it. I sit and cry when i fail,what do i do?

Do tell...Are ground spices allowed? Garlic, onion powder, and the like?
As long as the carbs are low, your good to go
I've been doing keto For 3 years. I was never really overweight but was considered insulin resident. My cholesterol was 258 my tryglyerides were high etc.. I read labels I don't eat bread, rice, oatmeal, proceeded food etc... I've simplified my food's so much. And have no real appetite. BUT I just had labs done yesterday May 25 2021. My kidneys are functioning low just under the lowest number on the chart? My insulin was 7 which baffles me...I count sugar and eat less than 25 a day max. I try to eat things with zero or 1 gram. But max 6. I eat 25 carbs or less. My only fruit is fresh blueberries everyone needs a treat and this is my sweet treat that's how low I've trained my taste to go on sugar. I drink water or LaCroix water no alcohol or pop. I still could lose 15 lbs. I don't eat cereal. I eat 1000 cal or less. I don't know what else to do. Why my cholesterol won't come down. Why my kidneys are low? And no I don't use Morton table salt. I use hymalian sea salt but rarely salt anything. I can't get any answers from my doctor other than let's watch it or it could be herarity. I also intermittent fast.
Hi Shelley, I would actually consider joining the wait list for the Keto Made Simple Masterclass. We run a survey at the end of each course and the overwhelming majority said they learned something new that made all the difference. Unfortunately, internet Keto has led to so much misinformation and confusion. The Keto Made Simple Masterclass takes you through the steps to get you where you want to be. Included is three weeks of invaluable support within a private Facebook group.

It may be hereditary because I am having the exact same problem as you. I'm doing just about everything you mentioned you are doing and exercise 6 days a week and do HIIT. I'm still having problems 6 months into dieting.
Shelley ~ have you found a solution... something that has helped ?
Thank You 😊
Have you looked into to Carnivore? It encourages eating plenty of animal fats and cook with ghee, eat some grass fed butter. I like Kerrygold. Also eat eggs.
But are you intermittent fasting?
I like eating 8 hours or less and fast 16 hours. So fast, water basically, sometimes tea no sugar.
Also go to UA-cam look up Doctor Berry. He has great Carnivore diet and keto diet videos.
Great advice for a healthy life.

I lost weight on Low carb but I also continued fresh home juice. Also I used to have spinach smoothie. Cheese 🧀 and practically all fruits.
Fruits are processed by your liver like ALCOHOL. Not healthy. Spinach HIGH in OXALATES.
Dr Ken Berry has good videos on fruits and any Sally K Norton video will make you abandon ALOT of vegetables and fruits. I cracked two teeth and had osteopenia from my plant based years🥲

About 25 years ago lost 200 lbs. low fat,low calorie bullshit took 2.5 years to achieve walking and pure starvation and fear of heart attack,could not maintain and weight was creeping back on me,out of fear and from doctor recommended lap band,colossal mistake,had I known about keto my life could have been so different,now 58 what a waste of time on those low fat caloric reduced diets.
I chew a lot of gum / (former smoker) 6 yr smoke free / of course weight problems since stopping / I couldnt make it (lol) with out my gum . I chew surgar free but also have had regular. What are you thoughts or anyone that sees this .. Its hard to loose weight
Sugar free gum is ok 😊
I have a question. I’m keeping my carbs below 20grms. However I’m finding it super difficult to get enough fat...I’m filled to the gills on one meal a day 20:4 or 24 hour fasts a few days a week. I can’t eat that much protein ( ie bacon etc). I use butter, coconut oil as much as I can, but damn I get full.
Example: late breakfast, had two eggs, 3 slices of bacon, Lunch: 5 ounces of ground beef with organic pasta sauce over zucchini noodles. 🤢 full. Is it a worry to not get the fat? Believe me I have plenty of body fat to burn! So, maybe I shouldn’t worry since I have the body fat to burn?
I think you’re getting this wrong. Here is a video you may want to watch.

@@AdaptYourLife thank you! I watched your video. Makes total sense. I said to myself “ I’ve got fat to lose, why am I supposed to put more fat on something?” I couldn’t do it. I’m doing very well. Keeping my carbs under 20grms. I find my caloric intake is pretty low because I get full eating one meal a day. I have no cravings, I’m not even very hungry when it’s time to eat ( probably because I’m being pretty strict and my meals are quite boring).

I am watching in2023. What is the doctors opinion about Ozempic?
What about probiatic medication for the gut?
HARLEY WUNDER a well formulated Keto diet will not require any medication for the gut 😊
My wife and I have taken a good probiotic, one that has to be refrigerated, for around 20 years. We eat mostly whole real foods, very little processed or fast foods. We are in our early 60s and get very good check ups. We take our probiotic every day. Our Heavenly Father does not make things for nothing. We would not have taste buds that can taste sweet if we were not meant to use them. We eat fruits and sweet root crops, like sweet potatoes. We also eat butternut squash, etc. This works for us.
After 2 days, I went on a 10 mile unicycle ride, without dinner, and I was not ravenously hungry when I got back. How do you articulate this state where you would be happy to eat if it's available, but you don't have any real craving for food, and if you weren't given an opportunity to eat, you would not be disappointed? By the way,, I slipped on the lifestyle and I've gained all my weight back, and am trying to get back into it. 3 days in.
i believe the state of no cravings but "I could eat if there is food, but wouldn't eat if its out of mind) is called being "satiated" between meals
I HAVE CKD 3B. VERY LIMITED WITH PROTEIN
Im sick of meat and eggs. What else can i eat for bfast ?
I make my keto bread... this morning had with sliced smoked salmon.
3 Tablespoon Almond Flour, 1 Tablespoon (olive or coconut) oil, 1 egg, 1 Teaspoon basil seeds, 2 Teaspoons ground flax. Mix very well.
I put the mixture in a "bread-shaped" silicone dish, put Everything seasoning on top, microwave for 2 minutes on high. Delish in the morning with salmon, cream cheese, plain, etc., as a morning "bread". I have it with tuna for lunch.

i have like 1/8 cup of strawberries and i guess too many almonds yesterday. gained 4 lbs of water weight over night. so now I know not to incorporate strawberries and to strictly limit nuts. I don't say eliminate because i have them and I don't want to just throw them away. i may be able to get my brother to eat them.
I only recently started watching Dr. Westman so i was doing net not total but now im going to try for total carbs.

Yup. My mother at 60 years of age refuses to stop drinking lemonade after she has had a heart attack. She doesn't drink it every day but even so, it's something she shouldn't be consuming at all. I'm 32 and trying to educate my family on this and not getting very far..

I meant to say are there quantitative tables for foods that can cause “oxidative stress” directly or indirectly?
Out of curiosity since I haven't seen it mentioned, is there a concern about oxalates in foods? It's not a Keto issue, per se, but I'm told it can be a concern, especially with foods such as spinach, chard, sesame, almonds.
Dr. Westman is not concerned about this at all. He follows the science. If there aren’t published papers on it, he dismisses.
@@AdaptYourLife Much appreciated. To science!
I use kohlrabi to make fries and fake potato pancakes. As close as I’ve found to potato’s.

If you are getting enough fat, you won’t be hungry. For me that starts with heavy cream in my coffee and/or bacon for breakfast.

A great message somewhat lost with the amount of ads - I'm aware channels need to earn money and I make a point of watching the ads to support channels I like if it's just a couple in the middle but when it's every few mins it breaks the conversation up so much it's hard to keep focused. Perhaps you need to adjust your ad preference ?

Hi
The one event that would really put Keto into the mainstream is Keto items on menus of major restaurants. This would do more for low carb than all else. If Panera offered a low carb bread or dominos offered a keto pizza it improve the acceptability so much. And it’s seems to me they would be an incentive as they viable from a marketing standpoint.
RL Shultz we agree
Rather than restaurants offering keto knock-offs of high-carb foods, I'd hope to see a new restaurant chain, call it 'Keto', that simply offers real, whole, keto foods - meats, greens, cheeses, butter, etc., with zero seed/veg oils, zero grains, zero sugars, zero processed crap. It'd be great to be able to eat-out again, and feel good about it and enjoy it...
I don't know if such a business model would be viable today, but I know I'd patronize such a place.
Yes I agree that’s better food. But the impact to change of our standard diet will come from a bigger awareness and acceptance. And I think having Keto menu choices and chain restaurants would accomplish this more than anything else even if it’s “knock off”. It will make more aware of why we even consider low carb important.
i so agree. I go out for coffee and it is really hard to find something to eat if its a cafe. everything so full of sugar. Its really frustrating.
So...can I dip my lobster in butter? Can I dunk my chicken in it's own drippings?
We prefer to limit the fat.
Can i have light cream in my coffee this is the only dairy i get
Sure 😊

I’ve lost over 80 pounds in 8 months of keto and daily 18:6 intermittend fasting. My blood ketones are around 0.8-1.0 most days. But I am still hungry most days so what am I doing wrong? Or is this “you’ll no longer be hungry on keto’” really a myth?
I am not an expert, but I would suggest to check your macros and increase fat and decrease protein.
Eat more fatty meat
If I didn’t eat enough fat I would have cravings. No cravings when my fat was high enough. Now 90lbs down, I can achieve this feeling with much less fat.
Eat more animal fats. Butter&Bacon are always my ' go to ' for total satiety.
Add avacados to your salad ....or breakfast ... they are very fillling ... pls don’t overdo it ....
And also any food that is cooked and brown has sugar in it especially onions. The fat in which the ingredients are cooked is NOT the reason why they turn brown, sugar does! So what is left?
One Amongall not sure what your question is.
high protein raises my blood sugar. So why are you saying it does not?
What foods are you calling high protein?
Beans and peas are also hi carb and will raise blood sugar.
It is impossible for Meat proteins to raise blood sugar.
Real foods, ok, but what about lectins?
Funny he mentioned whey...I tried a "Keto Bread machine bread" by the Banting King that closed my nose shut and raised my BS, wasted $42
Some drinks raise the blood sugar-black unsweetened coffee and tea does make some people’s blood sugar go up. I guess your body thinks that a meal is coming.
Can I eat Tofu tempeh and soy milk?
I heard him say if you want to lose weight keep carbs below 20 grams a day. I don’t know the carb Amt of soy products but most are GMO. Can also cause estrogen increase.
The simple answer is no.😊
I definitely understand what you are stating and I have followed this paradigm myself always staying as low as I can on carbs in general. However, I am still wondering if you & many others are missing the real central point! That point I’m trying to make is that the real direct culprit to eventual cardiac problems is really “oxidative stress “! Oxidative stress we know will damage the LDL particles which I believe makes them very “sticky” and smaller. This allows these particles to the epethealial lining of the arteries and create a plaque and certain white blood cells go after that site due to some immunilogicsl reaction and as a result it builds up with white blood cells, cholesterol, calcium ions proteins i guess too snd keeps building as long as there is “oxidation” or oxidative stress going on! So can you tell me if the glucose or fructose themselves have high enough oxidation potentials to invoke electron transfer reactions causing more radicals to also form is by definition a single electron in an orbital. And this single electron really wants to pair with another electron to make it more stable in terms of spin multiplicity. Or after the sugars get converted to fat with have many keto groups, is it this that is the culprit for the oxidative stress effects that go on? But I would like to ask, am I correct by stating that its “oxidative stress “ that is what everyone needs to avoid. And are there tables that I can look up that promotes “oxidative stress” even indirectly???
Watch Dr Paul Mason’s lectures. He goes in depth at the level you are looking for in a very understandable way. Most people are content to eat some nutrient dense food, lose weight and feel better, some of us like to dig a little deeper. Ben Bikman also.
Rhubarb??
If I am adding a fruit (lets say Mango Chunks) to my smoothie that has higher sugar content and then add enough fiber rich foods (like Avocado chunks) to bring the net carbs down to few grams. Would my smoothie not be considered low carb overall?
Faisal Rafique you need to count all the carbs in your smoothie, one ingredient doesn’t counter the other, all are added to the total carbs. Mango is not considered a “low carb” fruit, try a few berries 😊
@@AdaptYourLife Thank you for reply. Much appreciated !! I am mostly using berries and occasionally pomegranate in the smoothie.

really a cherrio ad first
agree that carbs are not essential nutrients because humans can make carbs / glucose as needed.
We have a system for gluconeogenesis which uses amino acids and glycerol for glucose synthesis as required - but the mechanism is inefficient one .
The daily capacity of human being for gluconeogenesis is estimated to be about 2.8 gm / kg body weight / day . About 200 gm / day for an adult weighing 70 kg.
But if we consume carbs ( only sufficient enough) then requirement for protein will go down. Body will use ingested carbs for obligatory requirement.
In this case proteins would be preferably used for other body functions.
Would it be advisable to to eat carbs up to 120 to 200 gm / day so as to spare proteins for other body functions ? - protein sparing effect of carbs.
Obviously the carbs should be unprocessed and no sugar !!!
Any scientific argument would be appreciated -
I’m sorry but the number of ads is out of proportion to the info.

Sandra Westley, I am not a Doctor, but what hit me from what you’ve said, is calm down stress makes things worse, I would think perhaps eating so much heart which is a rich meat probably triggered what happened, everyone is different and there bodies work different and that may be your reaction to rich food if you have a tendency to get Uris acid, I would put it down to an experience not to repeat, and eat for a while less rich meat, and do some intermittent fasting till you get back to where you were.

What's about seed oils? Sunflower, corn...
AVOID....lard, beef tallow, butter, bacon fat, ghee, or coconut oil only
They are highly inflammatory and full of omega-6 fatty acids that the body does not burn
Just eliminating these oils will make a difference in your health. It is so easy to do. Just replace them with the healthy oils that JohnR219 lists below. Save your bacon grease and cook with it.
What kind of bread was being eaten during biblical times that it was used as a metaphor for Jesus being "the bread of life" or praying "give us this day our daily bread"?
Ff
That biblical bread only had 14 chromosomes unlike modern wheat which 56 or so chromosomes . Dr William Davis has written on this.
If it was during the Passover, it was a special wheat---if you see Kosher for Passover on items such as Matzo, it is unbleached and unbromated wheat flour with water added---Though oftentimes depicted as a roll or a small french bread loaf in paintings, Jesus would indeed have been eating unleavened bread for the Passover...i.e. matzo.
24carrot gold it was Einkorn type wheat, and stone ground. The grinding process did not result in an extremely refined white powder that modern steel rollers produce, so more nutrients and a little less carbs that take longer to be digested. Also, the bread was raised using the sourdough technique, which uses bacteria, rather than yeast. The bacteria digest a certain amount of the carbs. So the bread had a little less carbs and a little more nutrients than modern bread. But not a huge difference. The thing to note, however, is that up until the industrial revolution, total carbs in a meal were far less that today, especially with zero refined sugar. Around Europe, staples were meat and cabbage. Bread with carbs was eaten with it, but meat has no carbs and cabbage very little. It's the total environment that counts, not just one food item.
Because these are all fables, NOT facts.
I'm surprised he's bringing up cauliflower tots. Read the ingredients. If you are buying them pre-made at a store you are still setting yourself up for diabetes. There are so many low carb recipes on you tube for things like this. Where the ingredients are good and clean.

A rather rambling discussion of some foods that are anti-keto.
Not exactly concise or complete.
Didn't even attach the list from page 4.
You can Google it !!
Where would I get my minimum requirements of Vitamins and minerals from fat? I am most confused about what my body needs to properly function and Keto does not ring well.The body requires food to survive and transform everything into anything, sugar into fat, fat into sugar as needed.But IMO if you exercise and work with a diet of 1700or 1800 calories/day anybody will loose weight and detox quit rapidly. French food relies mostly on carbs and meat and yet before the fast food invasion was renown for being "skinny". South East Asia is also "skinny" and eat all sort of carbs.After watching dozen and dozen of videos and interviews I still do not hear the scientist talking about menus...they all speak about how good it is and what you should not have.Why isn't this diet available in schools?Doctor Atkins died and weighted over 400 lbs.I am afraid that like building muscles when you stop it all comes back as fat...
Hi One Amongall, there are three macronutrients, Carbohydrates, Protein and fat. Only two are essential, protein and fat. You body cannot make either of these macronutrients on its own. Carbohydrates are not essential and our bodies can make glucose without it through a process called gluconeogenesis.
A well formulated Keto diet will not require any Vitimin supplementation.
Yes, most calorie restricted diets will result in weight loss but a Keto diet does so without the hunger. This is fundamentally different to any other diet.
The science behind a Keto diet is robust and when comparing a low fat to a low carb diet side by side, the low carb diet beats the low fat diet by around 30 to 1.
Dr Atkins was not 400 pounds when he died and he died from falling on ice and hitting his head. I hope this helps 😊
South East Asia has a silent epidemic of Diabetes! No record taking and now mixed with Western Junk Food there are a lot of overweight young Asians .
In terms of the argument for being a sugar burner using a low fat nutritional approach vs a fat burner using a low carb approach: I’m a sports massage therapist not a physiologist but it seems to me that if the body stores the vast majority of its excess energy as fat then shouldn’t that be a big indicator that biologically we were designed to eat very little carbs and focus on eating/burning fat? It seems like if we were really meant to be sugar burners God would have designed us to store excess energy as glucose/glycogen primarily.
Amy L we were in fact designed to eat very little carbs, thousands of years ago, fruit would be seasonal, fruit didn’t contain the high amounts of sugar they now contain and people would have to rely on their own fat stores to get them through times of food scarcity. Being a sugar burner is a poor mechanism for survival.
Amy L There you go being logical again. . .

Meat WILL raise glucose readings especially liver!
If you wear a CGM, you will see your reading go up when you eat meat but it will not spike, like with carbohydrates
@@AdaptYourLife Yes I’m sure that’s right but even a slight rise in glucose would mean a raise in insulin correct? What about liver that spiked me 50 points I now only eat half slice and no onions! Thanks for all you do for us.
@@charlestait5303 the slight rise in insulin is ok, as long as it’s not spiking.
@@AdaptYourLife I hate to keep bothering you but nobody has ever commented on my problem with liver! Do you know why liver would spike (150) glucose readings?
I can understand this for insulin resistance but I can't believe God made his natural foods in vain.
Maybe they are more meant as a rare treat or to feed His non-human creatures. Also due to fruits being so much sweeter and often shipped from great distances could be factors as to more problems. Not to mention our present day sedentary lifestyle.
Is dr Neil Bernard…(the vegan guy)…is he out of his mind???
No he's not. The truth is many diets and styles of eating can work if you stick to it. But some have different effects on health and some are easier to stick with than others. I tried vegan and vegetarian diets and couldn't stick to them. Now some of my health issues are disappearing and it's not hard to stick to keto. I'm not hungry all the time as I was before.

@@garyroberts3859 well if you ate only celery you'd lose weight but it's very boring. I tried following Dr's like Barnard because low fat for heart health made sense but it didn't work for me. I LOVE potatoes but couldn't lose any weight or stick to it. That's why I find keto is the way to go for me. But I don't make my way of eating a religion. If someone disagrees That's OK with me.
@@anabathurst8721 thanks for your messages, you’ve educated me in a couple of things you said. I love the…
“If you ate only celery…” I’ve never thought of that..
Since late 2019 when I started researching I haven’t eaten Potato’s, rice, pasta, bread and I switched from sugar and milk in my coffee to just cream. It is working for me I’m no longer diabetic and I’ve lost 8 kgs …83 to 75 kgs, (so I wasn’t fat).
I’m quite strict I eat very few veggies I make wraps with seaweed sheets most days, different meats, prawns and salmon with avocado, mushroom and lettuce . Breakfast is mostly bacon and eggs. 2 meals a day, never hungry and my fasts are 18-21 hours.
OMG!!!!! So many ADs! Come on!!!
It's not the channel's fault, he has no control. It's UA-cam.
I hate the zucchini substituted as noodles and the sweet potatoes substituted as fries. Some of the cauliflower products ( like cauliflower mash as mashed potatoes) are gross to me too. I like some cauliflower products( like Green Giant cauliflower and broccoli hashbrowns) but I am sure doctors and dieticians won't find those products to be healthy.
The noodle substitutes are mostly awful, but I like the Shiritaki riced noodles. I rinse them, then boil them in a pot of water for 10 minutes, then finish them in the frying pan with some butter, garlic powder, and lemon pepper. Due to cost the rest of the family gets the usual pasta.
Get to the point please .
