Actually, if you have SIBO or candida (usually people have both), walnuts,spinach, broccoli and chia seeds spell trouble and lead to a lot of chronic inflammation. I can eat almonds, but walnuts have too much mold on them and are also too acidic. The lectins and other anitnutrients and phytotoxins in broccoli and spinach make them absolutely disasterous for me. I pass out from leaky gut/cytokine/histaminic flare ups and massive inflammation if I eat even a small portion of these. If you have chronic fatigue, you should try to avoid these food to see if it helps with flare ups. I handle most fruit sugar very well but have difficulty with grains for the same reasons as above. Carnivore changed my life. After four months, I started experimenting with other foods and discovered that fruit agrees with me. Each person has to find what works for them. If you suffer from chronic inflammation, you owe it to yourself to eat carnivore for a few months.
I do this too. When I was younger, my mom would eat salads with lemon and a little salt as her dressing. a couple of weeks ago, I was at a Mexican restaurant and had a salad that came with avocado, the waiter forgot my dressing so I said screw it, I squeezed a lime in it, added a bit of salt, and mashed up the avocado in the salad. That changed the way I will always eat salads lmao, its so much better than dressing.
|Make your own salad dressing! Takes just a few minutes and is so much better for you than anything in a bottle; 2 parts Extra Virgin Olive Oil plus 1 part either fresh lemon juice or apple cider vinegar and a little dijon mustard to emulsify. Add it all to an empty jar, shake and voila. Easy, cheap and completely healthy.
Everything sounds great. For dressing salad, forget commercially bottled stuff. Just use delicious healthy mix of raw organic Apple Cider Vinegar, Extra Virgin Olive Oil and freshly squeezed lemon/lime. Along with walnuts, also add to the salad Macadamia, Pecans, Brazilian Nuts, Pistachios and peeled Almonds. Don't forget to toss in some seeds - chia, pumpkin, flax etc.
I noticed that she never mentions olive oil, and I wonder why. I am a Mediterranean person and I have always used plenty of olive oil all my life. By the way, I am 77 yo and so far very healthy!
Dr. Becky Thank you for your wealth of information. I've been on Keto 4 months down 30 pounds. I'm feeling better at 61 then when I was 51. Keep the videos coming.
Sam3 happen to me when I was 37.. felt better that almost all the life before.. Then I dropped my lifestyle with lchf after almost 4 years. and pain and inflammation came back . But now Im in my p4th again
I toast walnuts. I spread them on a metal tray without any added oil and bake them in my toaster oven for about 7 minutes at 350 degrees or until you can smell their fragrance. Be careful though, they can go from “ready” to burnt in just a few seconds.
Make my own salad dressing. Store bought have too much sugar in them. 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 1/4 cup white wine vinegar ( or red, whatever you choose) Parsley ( or Italian herbs/spices) Lots of garlic Salt and pepper Shake and leave for half hour then enjoy. This dressing is a classic Italian vinagraitte used by Italians and tastes so good. Enjoy
My favorite salad is a greens salad with feta cheese, blueberries and cut strawberries. Top is with some balsamic dressing and its sooo good. I'm eating them now since it's strawberry season!!
I make my own mayo and then make ranch dressing with it. That way I can add my own type of oil, ACV and living mustard. It all comes together with full fat Greek yogurt. So delicious!
I love avocado 🥑 and eggs! I make an egg salad half an avocado with 4 eggs ! Really yummy! I used avo instead of mayonnaise. Just an idea that worked for me! Happy trails to y'all on this journey of health! Thanks 👍
I put MCT in my coffee every morning with stevia and organic half n half....I’m addicted! I’m not hungry until lunch where I’ve adopted a daily giant salad with a protein (usually chicken or whole fat cheese) I ALWAYS make my own dressing with olive oil and apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper. I’m healing from a fatty liver and insulin resistance and probably other things too but I don’t feel it’s necessary to know what from. As long as I eat this way, I know I’m getting better and my body pain is shrinking. I don’t listen to “Doctors” because I feel like I’m not going to listen to their load of crap anyway! I just turned 50!
Would you mind sharing your recipe for salad dressing? I would love to adopt this. Thanks in advance! Also have you tried the flavored Balsamic vinegars for variety?
The problem with salad dressings from a store is they all contain sugar, even an Italian dressing. Plus sometimes when they list "natural flavors or seasonings " they may have MSG in the mix. I don't trust any company that can't tell me exactly what their product contains.
Thank you Dr. Gillaspy. Love your channel. Just a comment on cholesterol. Most people with cholesterol issues are primarily hereditary. Cutting out all the positives of eggs and other proteins by eliminating them from your diet causes bigger health issues in the long run. Good fats, quality proteins count. Eggs are the most complete protein with all of the amino acids needed to build and maintain muscle. Thank you for you r calm and clear videos and keep up the great work!
I have battled my weight all my adult years. This is the only way my body responds by losing weight. I have believed in low carb, high fat for decades, before high fat was popular, my family thought I was crazy. I don't stick to it strictly, thus it has taken me years to at least get down to the weight I am at now, a 70 plus loss. I now have family members that are doing it with great results also. I am confident if I incorporate the MCT oil on a regular basis, (because I have only used it occasionally), I will start losing even more! ; )
Thanks Becky from the UK. This is first time I have watched you. You explain food in a great easy understandable way and you're sincere. Thanks for a great video.
For what its worth I never tasted a store bought dressing I liked. With that being said I mixed vinegar and olive oil with a dash of greek seasoning and a high quality jam like apriot jam or others (couple table spoons) . Pretty tasty.
I eat 3 eggs most days. My last cholesterol test a few weeks ago came back at a total number of 124. I am on a statin, but on my old diet even with the statin my total cholesterol was over 200. Get rid of most of the carbs people. You're body will thank you.
It's really amazing how much sugar is in our food supply. It may be that diets, which can include lots of salad, are so difficult is likely the result of sugar addiction. We all deal with feeling terrible the first couple of weeks on a diet. A lot of that could very well be the withdrawal symptoms you get from the sugar addiction.
What a marvelous lesson. Wonderful suggestion of adding the ingredients shown in a salad each day. I truly appreciate your work and sharing info on living a healthy life style
Dr. Gallaspy I want you to read me a bedtime story. Your voice is so soothing! You should consider doing some audiobooks for sleep or relaxation. Maybe children’s books. I have learned so much from your videos.
I like it when u smile, the information about Manganese comes from Jahovah. We cannot burn carbs without or fat without it. Vitamin c does not work in our bodies without it. It helps the body to use fat in a good way. Coats the nerves. Good for depression. Arthritis etc.
I just finished a bottle of MCT oil, in lieu of the coconut oil I've eaten for 3 years. I know I need the salads because one tastes so good! Many thanks.
I’m not learning anything new but I watch because you two are awesome and so motivating. Thank you so much. I do everything you guys show!! 30 down 25 to go!!
It’s curious that so many people want to do clean keto to lose weight, but I want to adopt the diet due to its general health benefits (and because it’s great for digestive issues). I fight it hard to keep enough weight on with this diet actually!
@@KCCAT5 seriously thinking of moving away from coffee because of the acrylamide. Scientists say a cup a day won't hurt you but a cup is 8oz. Most people drink 16oz "cups" several times throughout the day.
@@PatrickJohnson-di6cf I still like my coffee with heavy cream and sugar-free syrup like s'mores or caramel or cookie dough. And my first cup has MCT oil to start my day. However I started to cut out my nighttime coffee in favor of chamomile tea. Save me on all the cream and help put me to sleep. Have a good day☕😊
Thank you again! As always, great info. I never climbed on the anti-egg/butter/milk/low-fat bandwagon. LOTS of eggs, reasonable butter and milk, I have a great ticker. HOWEVER - I source from people and farms I know, who have well-cared animals that I know, see, visit. I get business cards at Farmers Markets and go straight to farm when I can. I also do cat rescue (TNR) and I make farm connections through that. It's worth the effort to find and keep these sources. I pay above the prices they ask, which are usually less than the grocery store. I believe that the less hands that have handled my food, the closer it comes to me from the earth it's supposed to come from, the higher quality it will be and the less mishandling it's likely to go through. I recognize and respect that many people have sensitivities and allergies to some foods, and I leave that to them as good reason to stay away from what their body cannot handle. For me, eggs from happy, well cared for chickens are one of the healthiest and humane proteins we can eat. I share my eggs with my pets, thoroughly researched for myself and them, as part of well rounded, balanced diet for each species. The membrane between the shell and egg has a high concentration of glucosamine, chondroitin, and collagen. And yes - I do grind and add the shells to my coconut flour when I'm being really ambitious! I've made avocados a need rather than a luxury. I try to start my meal planning from the salad first, and expand out from there, rather than the salad as a side. I've been making my own salad dressing for 15 years or so - sooo good, and I make it in pretty bottles with pretty ingredients. Nothing like that at the grocery store. I've never used MCT oil, I'm hearing so much about it from good sources, I have to get some. I always appreciate meal ideas and recipes to expand my healthy choices. I especially appreciate in-depth but understandable explanations and break downs of nutrition in our foods.
Thank you so much for such great advise and information. Could you work on speaking a little louder, or bring the Mic closer I have the volume as high as possible on my tablet and I had to put it to my ear to hear you clearly. I don't suffer from any hearing problems. Again, thank you so much. I have been encouraged and inspired by your videos. Since the end of Jan. I have lost 33 lbs. God bless you as you continue to help people loose weight and be healtier!!
Good to know, and thank you. I have been eating a daily salad for years. My husband is always saying that the dressing cancels the "good" of the salad.
Thank you for the info about MCT oil, I'm interested in trying that in my coffee! I also loved the tip about adding walnuts to salad. Thanks again Dr. Becky ❤️
Dr. Becky!! I just found you today. I have been asking my dr.s and others for a good nutrionist or someone to help me. I have a fatty liver, just been diag. with type 2 diab, and I am only 51. I am also almost 300 pds. Dr.s just want to give a pill for everything... I have you on auto play on my computer right now. In the past hour, I have learned more from you than all the dr.s I have seen over the past 6 months. THANK YOU for what you do.
Intermittent Fasting....she has a video...I've lost 50 lbs...My A1C went from 7.2 to 5.4.. all the other numbers are normal and below......I was 50 when I was diagnosed...start slow work yourself into it.....Your energy will go thru the roof...You may have to give up some meds. for this to be successful .... My advice do alot of research....This lady is not a script writer.... thanks Doc.
Also check out Dr. Sten Ekberg. He has great videos on UA-cam. He explains what to eat and the nutrition behind good foods. Do research on sugar and refined carbs. They are poison! Cut out fast food. Cook fresh food from scratch, at home. ALSO, take a GOOD Probiotic, one that has to be refrigerated! Gut health is so important! I have been taking one for more than 20 years. (You can find them at most health food stores.) I’m 59, and my blood work is always great. Please take care!
I am known as the salad queen in my family. Dinner is always made 5/6 days a week with a salad with various vegetables added. I do not buy store bought salad dressings. I use virgin olive oil with red wine vinegar.
5/8/2022 - Hi Dr Becky, thank you so much for all of the important information you are providing! I would appreciate it if you would please let me know what brands the MCT oil and the dressing is that you are showing in your video. When I click on your Amazon link it brings me to MCT oils but not the one you are showing. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing all the great information in this video. For the same reason as some have already posted, I don't use commercial salad dressings. All I put on my salads is olive oil and apple cider vinegar.
@@lindacormack365 3 eggs scrambled spiced up salt pepper onion powder tumeric (my personal desire), put them in the pan like you making a plain omelette flip it over and then add about an ounce and a half to 2 oz of cream cheese and fold it in half
I am astonished that she is recommending shop bought salad dressings!!! Why would one douse a salad in a processed dressing, given that they are so easy to make. Also, why no mention of EVOO, ie olive oil? 😮
I have given up on avocados. They are usually not ripe enough. However, when I let them ripen for a couple of days, they either are still not ripe enough or they have black spots inside. They are too expensive to just throw then out. Too bad, as I really love them.
How to make sallad dressing, was the first cooking I learned. A child can do it. A little salt, two thirds oil, one third real vinegar, good stuff, black pepper, herbs and garlic to taste. Or use sour cream or yoghurt, add spices, lemon, whatever. Crushed walnuts are wonderful in dressings. So why buy readymade weird things? Like the big bag of gluish fat free dressing I got at McDonalds, instead of real olive oil, they had this weird starch mixture.
Rach Kate I found a small cup that fit into the top of my blender and drilled a pencil lead size hole in it. I pour the oil into that when blending my mayo. It works great and makes the process super easy. You can work on other things while it blends.
Definitely! I personally ADORE avocado oil...soooooooo healthy and good for you, plus has a very high smoke point! It's super mild, thus it takes on the flavor of whatever it is that you are cooking. :D
Thankyou Dr Becky always love your videos. I learned recently that organic eggs have a higher ratio of Omega 3 than free range eggs! I add pumpkin seeds to my green salads a good source of minerals especially magnesium which is good for my hypothyroid condition. Nori snacks also good for mineral content and to sprinkle on salads for seasoning. 🌸
I didnt believe it till i did my research. Yep ... eggs are much different depending on how they are raised. But remeber some factory farms claim free range but they arent really.
My wife broils Brussel sprouts with bacon grease, garlic salt and pepper. I absolutely love them and could eat them every day. For me, they are every bit as satisfying as steak
Wow! This is my first video of yours. What a wonderful presentation. We seldom find someone, who is up-to-date on true information rather than the propaganda from medical and government nutrition "experts."
I've never used salad dressing for any salads I've made. I love the taste of what I put in the salad, so I don't need anything to enhance or mask it. It's like putting BBQ sauce on meat. Why? A wee bit of salt and pepper and the meat tastes awesome. My salads contain whatever 3 to 4 plant foods I have in my fridge:: lettuce, tomatoes, grapes, blueberries, strawberries, pears, apple, shaved carrots, cucumber, broccoli, rhubarb, etc. I find a salad with more than 4 ingredients too much, but I like simple. The key with a salad is to pick the plant items you love and throw them in a bowl.
I will never buy salad dressing again... blend a good oil with some blue cheese, garlic and spices, or oil and avocado with vinegar... it's delicious healthy and less expensive than any bottled product.
I m in medium level of intermittent fasting... I eat my dinner at 10:30pm. In the morning i take a cup of cofee with coconut oil. Than take lunch around 2 pm everyday. In lunch i take eggs 2/3 with butter Vegs with high fiber, oily fish, almond with butter, In evening i take cofee with coconut oil. Dinner more or less same as lunch. Before lunch and dinner i take some apple cider vinegar. Is it technically ok, or not? Pls let me know
my husband makes salad dressing with olive oil, lemon, garlic, salt and pepper. I'm interested in the MCT oil though as I believe I have a slow adrenal system and insulin resistance.
I’ve been doing Keto for over 2 years. It worked great for about 20 months, now I’m slowly gaining. Don’t know why? I haven’t changed anything I am eating
Becky, what do you think about adding pecans rather than walnuts (which my daughter for some reason hates)? Do they have the same properties? Thank you
This is very good presentation. Also I have been living on eggs for about more than two years now and no any side effect. I eat at least 9 eggs a day and 12 eggs a day, at most.
Thanks for posting! I'm glad you mentioned the salad dressing. I've never been afraid of eggs or cholesterol. LOL Just one of those instinctive things, I guess.

Old school Italian here! Drizzle salad with olive oil, fresh lemon and salt to taste🎉
Walnuts, Avocado, Spinach, Broccoli Ginger, Berries, Salmon, & Chia Seeds good for inflammation.
walnuts are acidic are they not? almonds are alkaline

Mash up the avocado, add salt and lime and it makes a great salad dressing.
That's guacamole... Lol
EliasSreyes Yup!!

If allergic to lime/lemon, a little chopped onion instead is great, and also stops the avocado going brown.

I eat 6 eggs almost everyday. Cholesterol levels, etc are perfectly normal. Am 70 years old.
That is fantastic!
Jan Zigbe wow
I eat lots of eggs, too. I'm 64, normal cholesterol levels, and I'm on no prescription medications at all.
I've been eating eggs every day since I was old enough to cook for myself, mid teens. If eggs were unhealthy I'd be dead by now.
they better be free range

It’s curious that so many people want to do clean keto to lose weight, but I want to adopt the diet due to its general health benefits (and because it’s great for digestive issues). I fight it hard to keep enough weight on with this diet actually!
I love a spinach salad with mushrooms, strawberries with eggs and sunflower seeds 😁
This is exactly the stuff i've been eating on a daily basis already and it's really good advice!
I wonder why so many are allergic to eggs and tree nuts these days? I could eat anything til peri menopause started and food allergies started
I'm watching this, after having a breakfast of eggs, avocado and keto coffee with MCT oil. Yum!
Me too😊
@@KCCAT5 seriously thinking of moving away from coffee because of the acrylamide. Scientists say a cup a day won't hurt you but a cup is 8oz. Most people drink 16oz "cups" several times throughout the day.
@@PatrickJohnson-di6cf I still like my coffee with heavy cream and sugar-free syrup like s'mores or caramel or cookie dough. And my first cup has MCT oil to start my day. However I started to cut out my nighttime coffee in favor of chamomile tea. Save me on all the cream and help put me to sleep. Have a good day☕😊
What? Where is the bacon?
@@PatrickJohnson-di6cf I'm not convinced that it is a big issue:

Thank you again! As always, great info. I never climbed on the anti-egg/butter/milk/low-fat bandwagon. LOTS of eggs, reasonable butter and milk, I have a great ticker. HOWEVER - I source from people and farms I know, who have well-cared animals that I know, see, visit. I get business cards at Farmers Markets and go straight to farm when I can. I also do cat rescue (TNR) and I make farm connections through that. It's worth the effort to find and keep these sources. I pay above the prices they ask, which are usually less than the grocery store. I believe that the less hands that have handled my food, the closer it comes to me from the earth it's supposed to come from, the higher quality it will be and the less mishandling it's likely to go through. I recognize and respect that many people have sensitivities and allergies to some foods, and I leave that to them as good reason to stay away from what their body cannot handle. For me, eggs from happy, well cared for chickens are one of the healthiest and humane proteins we can eat. I share my eggs with my pets, thoroughly researched for myself and them, as part of well rounded, balanced diet for each species. The membrane between the shell and egg has a high concentration of glucosamine, chondroitin, and collagen. And yes - I do grind and add the shells to my coconut flour when I'm being really ambitious! I've made avocados a need rather than a luxury. I try to start my meal planning from the salad first, and expand out from there, rather than the salad as a side. I've been making my own salad dressing for 15 years or so - sooo good, and I make it in pretty bottles with pretty ingredients. Nothing like that at the grocery store. I've never used MCT oil, I'm hearing so much about it from good sources, I have to get some. I always appreciate meal ideas and recipes to expand my healthy choices. I especially appreciate in-depth but understandable explanations and break downs of nutrition in our foods.
Thank you so much for such great advise and information. Could you work on speaking a little louder, or bring the Mic closer I have the volume as high as possible on my tablet and I had to put it to my ear to hear you clearly. I don't suffer from any hearing problems. Again, thank you so much. I have been encouraged and inspired by your videos. Since the end of Jan. I have lost 33 lbs. God bless you as you continue to help people loose weight and be healtier!!
Good to know, and thank you. I have been eating a daily salad for years. My husband is always saying that the dressing cancels the "good" of the salad.
Great to hear positive comments about eggs after years of negativity
Thank you for the info about MCT oil, I'm interested in trying that in my coffee! I also loved the tip about adding walnuts to salad. Thanks again Dr. Becky ❤️
Dr. Becky!! I just found you today. I have been asking my dr.s and others for a good nutrionist or someone to help me. I have a fatty liver, just been diag. with type 2 diab, and I am only 51. I am also almost 300 pds. Dr.s just want to give a pill for everything... I have you on auto play on my computer right now. In the past hour, I have learned more from you than all the dr.s I have seen over the past 6 months. THANK YOU for what you do.
So nice to hear, Tammy! Thanks for your comment and I wish you the best!
Intermittent Fasting....she has a video...I've lost 50 lbs...My A1C went from 7.2 to 5.4.. all the other numbers are normal and below......I was 50 when I was diagnosed...start slow work yourself into it.....Your energy will go thru the roof...You may have to give up some meds. for this to be successful .... My advice do alot of research....This lady is not a script writer.... thanks Doc.
Tammy Gober check out Dr Eric Berg and Dr Ken Berry . They also have great information for all of us.
Tammy Gober Dr Berg also speaks tons about how to fix a Fatty Liver.
Also check out Dr. Sten Ekberg. He has great videos on UA-cam. He explains what to eat and the nutrition behind good foods. Do research on sugar and refined carbs. They are poison! Cut out fast food. Cook fresh food from scratch, at home. ALSO, take a GOOD Probiotic, one that has to be refrigerated! Gut health is so important! I have been taking one for more than 20 years. (You can find them at most health food stores.) I’m 59, and my blood work is always great. Please take care!
I am known as the salad queen in my family. Dinner is always made 5/6 days a week with a salad with various vegetables added. I do not buy store bought salad dressings. I use virgin olive oil with red wine vinegar.
5/8/2022 - Hi Dr Becky, thank you so much for all of the important information you are providing! I would appreciate it if you would please let me know what brands the MCT oil and the dressing is that you are showing in your video. When I click on your Amazon link it brings me to MCT oils but not the one you are showing. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing all the great information in this video. For the same reason as some have already posted, I don't use commercial salad dressings. All I put on my salads is olive oil and apple cider vinegar.
I'd wish you'd make a video with really good recipes for making my own salad dressings, smoothies, and kaleshakes
Make your own salad dressing, with avocado or olive oil, lemon juice, mustard powder, salt, pepper, and some magi seasoning. Delicious. Yum
Cream cheese omelette half an avocado cup of coffee with full cream and MCT oil , breakfast everyday
Could you please share how you make your cream cheese omelette? Sounds delicious!
@@lindacormack365 3 eggs scrambled spiced up salt pepper onion powder tumeric (my personal desire), put them in the pan like you making a plain omelette flip it over and then add about an ounce and a half to 2 oz of cream cheese and fold it in half
@@KCCAT5 Damn, sounds good ++ with onion and chives.
@@Riqrob oh hell yeah and don't forget the mushrooms and peppers yummy.
@@KCCAT5 Now I have to go to the store.
I am astonished that she is recommending shop bought salad dressings!!!
Why would one douse a salad in a processed dressing, given that they are so easy to make.
Also, why no mention of EVOO, ie olive oil? 😮
I really got into the salad thing when I began adding two scoops of ice cream as dressing!
Good one!
Haha!
Not everyone is trying to lose weight. Any advise for those on a low carb diet to control diabetes but trying to gain weight the healthy way?
I like salad deconstructed. I chop up the salad ingredients and eat them individually.
Thank you Becky and husband for your wonderful videos.. God bless you both as only He can😇
Thanks Dr. Becky. Your videos & the knowledges you express are really understanding.
I feel like a student in class. Great job!
Easy to eat avocado toast in the morning. Top it with an egg and you got breakfast or a meal any time you want.
Glad I found you and appreciate all you are showing us.
I have given up on avocados. They are usually not ripe enough. However, when I let them ripen for a couple of days, they either are still not ripe enough or they have black spots inside. They are too expensive to just throw then out. Too bad, as I really love them.
I am so glad I found you information, I also love the rooster holding vegetables in the back:)
How to make sallad dressing, was the first cooking I learned. A child can do it.
A little salt, two thirds oil, one third real vinegar, good stuff, black pepper, herbs and garlic to taste.
Or use sour cream or yoghurt, add spices, lemon, whatever. Crushed walnuts are wonderful in dressings.
So why buy readymade weird things? Like the big bag of gluish fat free dressing I got at McDonalds, instead of real olive oil, they had this weird starch mixture.
Avoid canola oil too.
It's actually pretty easy to make your own mayo- you get to control the herbs, spices, flavours etc you can add in too.
Rach Kate I found a small cup that fit into the top of my blender and drilled a pencil lead size hole in it. I pour the oil into that when blending my mayo. It works great and makes the process super easy. You can work on other things while it blends.
Definitely! I personally ADORE avocado oil...soooooooo healthy and good for you, plus has a very high smoke point! It's super mild, thus it takes on the flavor of whatever it is that you are cooking. :D
Why avoid canola oil. ?
Make your own dressing it’s so simple. Olive oil as the base add seasonings
Thankyou Dr Becky always love your videos.
I learned recently that organic eggs have a higher ratio of Omega 3 than free range eggs!
I add pumpkin seeds to my green salads a good source of minerals especially magnesium which is good for my hypothyroid condition. Nori snacks also good for mineral content and to sprinkle on salads for seasoning. 🌸
I didnt believe it till i did my research. Yep ... eggs are much different depending on how they are raised. But remeber some factory farms claim free range but they arent really.
Jade Rose What are Nori snacks and where would I find them? TIA
Linda Cormack Hi you can purchase CLEARSPRING seaweed nori snacks in most good health shops. 👍🙂
Jade Rose thank you
Kindly make a video on low carb - high fat food list for Vegetarians especially Indians
In knew about the avocados and walnuts, but not about the dressing and MCT oil. Good info. Thanks Dr. Becky G.
I recently bought MCT oil and not quite sure how much to use? I put it in my coffee , maybe 3 or 4;tablespoons, is this too much?..
Doctor Becky, it's so difficult to avoid eating carbs and sugar in Winter
My wife broils Brussel sprouts with bacon grease, garlic salt and pepper. I absolutely love them and could eat them every day. For me, they are every bit as satisfying as steak
Wow! This is my first video of yours. What a wonderful presentation. We seldom find someone, who is up-to-date on true information rather than the propaganda from medical and government nutrition "experts."
Welcome, Michael!
I've never used salad dressing for any salads I've made. I love the taste of what I put in the salad, so I don't need anything to enhance or mask it. It's like putting BBQ sauce on meat. Why? A wee bit of salt and pepper and the meat tastes awesome. My salads contain whatever 3 to 4 plant foods I have in my fridge:: lettuce, tomatoes, grapes, blueberries, strawberries, pears, apple, shaved carrots, cucumber, broccoli, rhubarb, etc. I find a salad with more than 4 ingredients too much, but I like simple. The key with a salad is to pick the plant items you love and throw them in a bowl.
I will never buy salad dressing again... blend a good oil with some blue cheese, garlic and spices, or oil and avocado with vinegar... it's delicious healthy and less expensive than any bottled product.
I m in medium level of intermittent fasting... I eat my dinner at 10:30pm. In the morning i take a cup of cofee with coconut oil. Than take lunch around 2 pm everyday.
In lunch i take eggs 2/3 with butter
Vegs with high fiber, oily fish, almond with butter,
In evening i take cofee with coconut oil.
Dinner more or less same as lunch.
Before lunch and dinner i take some apple cider vinegar.
Is it technically ok, or not?
Pls let me know
I'm just starting Keto and really appreciate your videos. Thanks
my husband makes salad dressing with olive oil, lemon, garlic, salt and pepper. I'm interested in the MCT oil though as I believe I have a slow adrenal system and insulin resistance.
Eggs and avocados - YAY! And thanks for the heads up on "Primal Kitchen" salad dressings - they're on my grocery list now.
What is the difference between coconut oil and MCT oil and can coconut oil be substituted for a daily food instead of MCT oil?
I love his with the eggs! I ate eggs any way as I living on a farm and have my own chickens but still really nice o hear
I’ve been doing Keto for over 2 years. It worked great for about 20 months, now I’m slowly gaining. Don’t know why? I haven’t changed anything I am eating
Becky, what do you think about adding pecans rather than walnuts (which my daughter for some reason hates)? Do they have the same properties? Thank you
Hi Amanda, pecans contain a good fat to carb ratio, so they are a fine substitution.
This is very good presentation. Also I have been living on eggs for about more than two years now and no any side effect. I eat at least 9 eggs a day and 12 eggs a day, at most.
Thanks for posting! I'm glad you mentioned the salad dressing.
I've never been afraid of eggs or cholesterol. LOL Just one of those instinctive things, I guess.
