The only thing I would disagree with is the walnut oil. Walnut oil goes rancid within days not months. The closer we eat the food the way God made it and intended it the better off we are. The more man puts his hands on it/processes the worse it is for us.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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 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.
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 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 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.
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.
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 👍
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!
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.
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! ; )
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!!
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
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!
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!!
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 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.
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.
@@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 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. 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 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?
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
don;t forget organ meats and other cuts of saturated fats/high cholesterol and calories. I never count calories. When I became carnivore, I needed about 2500 or more calories a day and I weigh only 115 lbs soaking wet! As I slowly corrected by long-term vitamin and mineral deficiencies by avoiding leafy greens and other phytotoxic heavy foods (which i am unable to digest safely as well as total elimination of grains and sugars), eventually I only needed half that amount of calories and I have cut all my portions in half. Essential to consume on a low carb diet is a LOT of saturated fat from grass fed meat. I drink heavy cream and cook with it and cultured butter every day, as well as olive oils and coconut oils. I eat a lot of seed butters. I'd say 70% of my diet is some form of fat. This is how I get amazing amounts of sustained energy every day and achieve very low body fat healthily. I am generally 11 to 13 percent fat and 16 per cent is high for me. I run and do weight bearing exercises twice a day, in addition to daily streching. I also eat fruit now: avocados and tomatoes and apples! Eat organ meats every day, if you can. it helps if you enjoy them, however I understand a lot of folks don't. That's too bad, because without them you can't really safely be in a zero or low carb diet, IMO.
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!!
Dr. Becky ..what do you do with the other half of your avocado ? I put cling film around mine , pop in the fridge , but it goes brown and doesnt look very appetizing .. Any tips ? .. Thank you .
That is what I do as well. I also stick the wrapped avocado in a container that is shaped like an avocado that I picked up at the store. A container of any sort is fine. Just scrap off the brown and it is fine.
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!
@ Dr. Becky Gillaspy question what about those that currently take cholesterol meds i.e. Crestor and those that their body overproduced cholesterol- which is genetic? That’s my concern about a high fat diet that you suggest.
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 been a sandwich fanatic ever since I was a child. I was told not to eat white or wheat bread now that I’m diabetic. Do you have any suggestions if I was to continue eating sandwiches.
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.
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.
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.
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
New subscriber here! I love your videos they're very informational and I love the demonstrations and food examples that you provide...makes learning this new lifestyle a lot easier. Thank you!
Thank you Dr Becky for your expertise and clear guidance. 👍✨ Can you throw guidance on my dietary needs with regard to hypothyroidism. I’m a mature 70yr old lady and finding satiety is the key to staying away from excess carbohydrates and sugars. Fortunately I enjoy certain salads in the warmer weather especially that are easy to digest. I use Olive oil and avocado oil with added nuts to my diet Brazil’s, walnuts and almonds in small quantities. I’ve looked at diets for hypothyroidism, anti inflammatory Keto, intermittent fasting to name a few! I have to be careful with brassicas, soya, bean sprouts, some grains, omitting legumes. I have to go steady with the onion family garlic etc... Onion and garlic are good for home made vegetable soup, mildly spiced but I have to go steady on root vegetables. Please can you give some of your expertise on things mentioned. I used slippery elm, gia seed puddings made with organic almond milk, took supplements L- glutamine, cut down on meats, dairy cut out alcohol completely because of a non alcoholic liver and my hypothyroidism. Constipation has been an issue. Fresh lemon in warm water help with peristalsis in the mornings. I do have pure organic coffee in the morning which also helps kick start my day. Thankyou again. Your videos are excellent. 🌸
You are so right!! I used to hate salads but now love them with my avo acv and salt dressing with some lightly stirfried veggies on top! It's wonderful!!

Does olive oil do the same?
Avocado mayonnaise, walnut oil ,raw pumpkin seeds ,wild caught salmon ,fresh parsley, mild Kimchi ,spices , cucumbers, pickles, red pepper, baby spring mix all organic.
The only thing I would disagree with is the walnut oil. Walnut oil goes rancid within days not months. The closer we eat the food the way God made it and intended it the better off we are. The more man puts his hands on it/processes the worse it is for us.

they better be free range

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 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!
Lissybird what do you eat for dinner?
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?
Wow well done mate, i will try your advice man.
No such thing as organic dairy in the USA. All has by law bovine growth hormone
You look amazing in your pic! So healthy 😍
Make your own dressing it’s so simple. Olive oil as the base add seasonings
Great to hear positive comments about eggs after years of negativity
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.
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!
My question is: If you heat the egg by frying it or scrambling the egg are you leading to the oxidation of essential fatty acids?
Thank you for all the great advice and knowledge 👍
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 just spread the walnuts on parchment paper and dry roast in oven 350 for 10-12 min
Why?????
@@gf4353 because it is so good roasted! 👍
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?..
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
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.
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.
don;t forget organ meats and other cuts of saturated fats/high cholesterol and calories. I never count calories. When I became carnivore, I needed about 2500 or more calories a day and I weigh only 115 lbs soaking wet! As I slowly corrected by long-term vitamin and mineral deficiencies by avoiding leafy greens and other phytotoxic heavy foods (which i am unable to digest safely as well as total elimination of grains and sugars), eventually I only needed half that amount of calories and I have cut all my portions in half. Essential to consume on a low carb diet is a LOT of saturated fat from grass fed meat. I drink heavy cream and cook with it and cultured butter every day, as well as olive oils and coconut oils. I eat a lot of seed butters. I'd say 70% of my diet is some form of fat. This is how I get amazing amounts of sustained energy every day and achieve very low body fat healthily. I am generally 11 to 13 percent fat and 16 per cent is high for me. I run and do weight bearing exercises twice a day, in addition to daily streching. I also eat fruit now: avocados and tomatoes and apples! Eat organ meats every day, if you can. it helps if you enjoy them, however I understand a lot of folks don't. That's too bad, because without them you can't really safely be in a zero or low carb diet, IMO.
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!!
Dr. Becky ..what do you do with the other half of your avocado ? I put cling film around mine , pop in the fridge , but it goes brown and doesnt look very appetizing .. Any tips ? .. Thank you .
That is what I do as well. I also stick the wrapped avocado in a container that is shaped like an avocado that I picked up at the store. A container of any sort is fine. Just scrap off the brown and it is fine.
@@beckygillaspy Thank you, and good morning from Tokyo, Japan :)
I'm just starting Keto and really appreciate your videos. Thanks
I love a spinach salad with mushrooms, strawberries with eggs and sunflower seeds 😁
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!
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!
@ Dr. Becky Gillaspy question what about those that currently take cholesterol meds i.e. Crestor and those that their body overproduced cholesterol- which is genetic? That’s my concern about a high fat diet that you suggest.
Eggs and avocados - YAY! And thanks for the heads up on "Primal Kitchen" salad dressings - they're on my grocery list now.
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? 😮
In knew about the avocados and walnuts, but not about the dressing and MCT oil. Good info. Thanks Dr. Becky G.
I have been a sandwich fanatic ever since I was a child. I was told not to eat white or wheat bread now that I’m diabetic. Do you have any suggestions if I was to continue eating sandwiches.
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
Make your own salad dressing, with avocado or olive oil, lemon juice, mustard powder, salt, pepper, and some magi seasoning. Delicious. Yum
I am so glad I found you information, I also love the rooster holding vegetables in the back:)
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?
Perfectly explained ! Thanks a lot :)
I make my own vinaigrette with EVOO and balsamic vinegar. Its good and easy to make. Sometimes ill also drizzle on a little mct oil
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.
Mam could you please make a video on some good cooking oils and the dosage of oil everyday.
Thanks for your down to earth gentle suggestions refreshing in this keto craze ,love from Ireland 💚
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.
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.
Which MCT oil do you use? There are so manny different brands and some have flavoring to them.
We use Left Coast. We have it on our Amazon Affiliate Shop if you're interested: www.amazon.com/shop/beckygillaspy
Very professional intelligent lady thanks For sharing your knowledge
If you have a sluggish or weak gall bladder, is the keto diet or high fat OK to do?
Hi Dana, I have a video on eating a high-fat diet without a gallbladder. You should be able to find it through UA-cam search.
New subscriber here! I love your videos they're very informational and I love the demonstrations and food examples that you provide...makes learning this new lifestyle a lot easier. Thank you!
Thank you Dr Becky for your expertise and clear guidance. 👍✨
Can you throw guidance on my dietary needs with regard to hypothyroidism. I’m a mature 70yr old lady and finding satiety is the key to staying away from excess carbohydrates and sugars.
Fortunately I enjoy certain salads in the warmer weather especially that are easy to digest.
I use Olive oil and avocado oil with added nuts to my diet Brazil’s, walnuts and almonds in small quantities.
I’ve looked at diets for hypothyroidism, anti inflammatory Keto, intermittent fasting to name a few! I have to be careful with brassicas,
soya, bean sprouts, some grains, omitting legumes. I have to go steady with the onion family garlic etc...
Onion and garlic are good for home made vegetable soup, mildly spiced but I have to go steady on root vegetables.
Please can you give some of your expertise on things mentioned.
I used slippery elm, gia seed puddings made with organic almond milk, took supplements L- glutamine, cut down on meats, dairy cut out alcohol completely because of a non alcoholic liver and my hypothyroidism.
Constipation has been an issue. Fresh lemon in warm water help with peristalsis in the mornings.
I do have pure organic coffee in the morning which also helps kick start my day.
Thankyou again. Your videos are excellent. 🌸
You are so right!! I used to hate salads but now love them with my avo acv and salt dressing with some lightly stirfried veggies on top! It's wonderful!!
That’s an idea, stir fry veggies on top! I was just wondering if kimchi would also work on a salad, it’s good for the gut microbiome.
Can MCT oil be counterfeit like so many brands of olive oil?
I like salad deconstructed. I chop up the salad ingredients and eat them individually.
Hi Dr Becky. Is it safe to intermittently fast (16-8) while trying the Keto diet?
I'd wish you'd make a video with really good recipes for making my own salad dressings, smoothies, and kaleshakes
Can you fry and saute with MCT oil?
