- Опубліковано 2 чер 2024
- Over the last few years the Keto diet has become extremely popular and like most diets in the world there is money to be made. This leads to a lot of advertising and overselling of what the diet actually is and what it entails. So beyond the hype and marketing does Keto make sense for you?
I break down the 5 reasons why you should maybe think twice before starting. If you decide to do Keto let it be for the right reasons.

I have been eating low-carb for over 20 years. I am a sugar addict, and for me, keto is a healing way of eating. Several times I ate wrong foods for me, and the cravings immediately returned. Each time, I gained weight rapidly and had to recover by going back on keto. I am 74 years old, and I feel better now than I felt in my 30s. Abstaining from sugar and refined carbs has leveled out my moods, helped me lose weight and have more energy.
EXACTLY!!!
Awesome
Yay!!!
Same here.
I think it is great that some people can eat carbs without losing control. Congratulations!
My moods have also levelled out since going low carb, the improvement to my overall well-being has been quite miraculous, glad it worked for you too!
Been doing keto since 9/5/2019 & I haven’t had not one cheat day. I believe that keto is a lifestyle not diet.🤘🏼🤘🏼
Same here!!
@@nonnim9138 💪🏼💪🏼💯
Yes, exactly! 😀
Keto itself is a cheat meal
@@yourcreed104 I would ask how but I doubt your response would make any sense to me lol
Keto was actually magic for me. Couldn't lose weight on portion control as I have pcos. I lost 30 kgs within a few months. Cured my symptoms of pcos and also cured my fatty liver. I agree with rest of the points!
@MaryamS Take how bad was your fatty liver??
I have high cholestrol levels and i am 26 with just 23% body fat
Its maybe because of hereditary
I really wish to lower these levels..
Do you have any idea about it??
@Akshay Harake thanks😁
Yay Maryam. Me too!
@@ipankhurigupta my husband has cholesterol issues with no weight issues at all. He is taking supplements for them along with keto. He is not taking any traditional medicines for it as they have a lot of side effects! His cholesterol level is in normal range now finally!
@@sillybugMaryam so glad! i tried so many nutritionists for losing weight. I tried portion control but nothing worked for me because of pcos!
Everyone remember: You HAVE TO KNOW YOUR BODY WILL GET USED TO NOT HAVING SUGAR AND HIGH CARBS....you feel like you can't do it...YOU CAN.
That is absolutely right, you even think about it , I advised get used not to eat bread, pasta no sugar. And then you will never put in your mouth
@@emyassefa326 I'm not sure Bout "never" but I will admit, I AM A SUGAR ADDICT AMD CARB ADDICT. SO my body no longer calls for SUGAR or carbs, BUT if I do have something the MENTAL ADDICTION is horrible. Meaning I know I love the taste of cookies/breads/noodles etc. The keto no sugar sweet treats get me through!!!
That's exactly right!
I was a sugar/carb addict but now I have zero desire to eat them. I can hand out donuts to my kids and not even flinch. Never thought it would happen for me but you're right, your body gets used to it.
Exactly. When I put down high sugar drinks, I was like: Oh God, I will die. And now, I think the same when I drink one. (I corrected a 'not' to 'now')
Although I find the title just a "tad" misleading...maybe incomplete would be a better term, your points are spot on. If you don't have a real reason and desire to live a keto LIFESTYLE, you will ultimately fall off the wagon.
I was a type 2 Diabetic, and started Keto 2 years ago, my A1C dropped from 8.3 while on a full insulin regimen, to 5.8, without a drop, or a single med at all for that matter, and I feel like a new person. My Dr. and nutritionist all pushed me to eat 2500 calories a day, 75 grams of carbs. They basically wouldn't listen when I told them I was having trouble just eating 1400-1500 calories a day. I was a super macro counter, and just the stress of knowing I had to plan for another meal accompanied with the testing and injections all the time put me into a real depression, to the point where I was off work just trying to cope. I spoke with a therapist a few times my depression was that bad. My eyesight also deteriorated to where I needed glasses full time.
One thing I learned, is it's my body, and ultimately, it's up to me how I treat it. I did a lot of research, and found Keto. I didn't consult with my doctor, or with my nutritionist, but I did buy a Freestyle Libre blood glucose monitor and ketone monitor. That allowed me to track my levels as frequently as I wished, without the constant poking. I essentially became my own test subject. I picked a day, and went full-on Keto, still macro counting and logging everything. That day was the last day I took insulin.
After about a week, I was feeling MUCH better, sleeping better, and the nerve pain seemed to be subsiding. I could also see the steady drop in my blood test results, the levels were steadily dropping. Not a lot, but it was a steady drop. I must add, when I started, I was 348 pounds (158 kg). I am 6'3"(191cm) tall, and quite muscular, but before diabetes, my average weight was 240 pounds (109kg). The medications and attempt to keep eating that 2500 calories had me gain over 100 pounds (45kg)!!
6 months into Keto, I called my doctor. I told him what I had done. He asked me to get a blood test done so he could check everything out. A week later, he called me. He essentially said, whatever you're doing, keep doing it. All my levels were normal. Cholesterol, enzymes, A1C, liver and kidney functions, all of it, perfectly normal. By this time, I had lost 50 pounds (22.5kg), 4"(10cm) around my waist and very seldom ever had any more nerve pain in my feet. The only reminder of the whole ordeal is the fact that I still need glasses due to the damage to the vessels in my eyes because of the diabetes.
I may change up my diet from time to time to be more protein based or more fat based now, but I still maintain fewer than 25 grams of carbs per day, 0 sugar. It truly has become a lifestyle. I don't say I CAN"T eat this or that, but i choose not to eat this or that. It has to be a conscious choice. If you go into anything saying you can't eat or do this or that, you are punishing yourself. If you simply choose not to, then you don't feel the resentment and negative emotions and connotations that arise from the use of CAN'T. Choosing to do something is always the easier path, and that simple step will put you into a mental space where you not only feel better physically, but emotionally as well. If you find the positives (of which there are many), and focus on them, it really is quite easy. Do I miss pasta, not really, there are so many other meals that actually taste better, it's easy not to miss it. Do I miss bread? No, but in all fairness, I have found a recipe and tweaked it to my liking, that is essentially flax bread, but without the flour. It rises, looks and tastes just like flax bread. I have a sandwich nearly every day for lunch, or toast it at night, spread some nut butter on it....yumm!
I guess what my long winded speech really amounts to is, with so many positive benefits, it's really easy to see and FEEL the good in Keto, and that makes it so much easier to stick with it. Don't look at it as a diet. It's just a new way of eating, where you will discover so many new and interesting recipes, many provide by the man, Sahil himself, that you will find you actually get excited about the journey and the new discoveries. Diabetic, a bit overweight, or just looking for something a bit healthier, you may find the solution you have been looking for with Keto. I did. Just remember, I can, but I CHOOSE not to. Your body will thank you.
Wow! Thanks for sharing your story and your thoughts, Ed. Very inspiring!
Ed, would you share your flax bread recipe? And thanks for the great history of your progress. Inspiring!
I thankyou as well, usually hate reading long comments but I'm about to embark on I F and Keto as no other combo has longevity.
Thank you, this is very helpful
I did not read all the comment because is to long but I’m happy to know that keto worked good for your condition. I’m going to recommend to a friend an I’m going to try to help a lot of people who are suffering from that epidemic.
I agree with your points, very well presented.
Now, I wouldn't say I've been doing keto very long, just 1 1/2 years. However, within the first few months, I completely reversed my type II diabetes. There was a month this summer where I had to return to the US for a family matter, and I fell into my old bad habits. I gained weight and felt horrible. Upon returning to the UK, I made it a point to get right back into keto. It wasn't easy, but the results were undeniable! It only works if you keep away from the foods/carbs that trigger an addiction response. It's different for everyone (and I'm talking about store bought, highly processed stuff). For me, it's all baked goods, pasta, and ice cream.
I wish Sahil and everyone who watches a very happy, healthy New Year--may it be the year that brings us all the blessings we deserve.
It cured my IBS which had me in agony for hours every day.
After 5 months of keto I have normalised my blood pressure, put diabetes into remission, got rid of fatty liver. cured my dermatitis and lost 10% of body weight.
Its actually fairly easy to do the diet if one is motivated to improve one's health.
I started Keto to prevent the type 2 diabetes my parents developed. The weight loss was a bonus. My natural food choices tend towards Mediterranean so a keto diet fits into my life perfectly. My family, who already enjoyed my Mediterranean style of cooking have cut carbs down due to satiety, rather than intent, but either way it's working for them too .
Fat calories are non efficient. It's the carbs that cause inflammation
Type 2 diabetes cure with this diet?
Thank you for sharing about going on and off keto. I was on strict keto for 2yrs no cheating. Lost about 100lbs and you made feel ok making and eating non keto food with my family during the holiday this year. It feels good to see the scale go up 5lbs and be ok with it. I’m back on keto and the weight will be gone in no time. But thank you for helping me break away from the mindset that keto defined me and I should feel bad going off keto ✌🏼
I have lost 92 lbs living keto. I want to beat diabetes and I am almost there. I refused insulin and take a once a week shot. My Cardiologist thinks I am ready to come off of the meds thanks to changing to a healthy diet! The weight loss has been an unbelievable bonus, but my A1C is what I was battling. Thank you for your Honesty, advise and recipes!
In order to help, has your Dr recommended taking fish oils (omega3s), and eating egg yolks (or taking choline)? Choline strips the fat off your liver. It cleanses the body. They also sell a powder you can take as a supplement. Also, arugula cleans your arteries, because of it's nitric oxide content. :)
@@XeninaCalifornia Thank you for the tips but I am already coming off of medication. I already achieved it! My diet is balanced and my numbers have been steady. :)
@@UniqueLeeMrsG what are your daily meals like? I am a curious vegan. Thank you.
@Dadadada It went from 7.9 down to 5.3!
I eat lots of vegetables, chicken and eggs. I eat pineapple slices and grapes to satiate sweet cravings. I enjoy lots of the keto desert recipes I find on youtube. I just keep each meal under 20grams of carbs and sugars combined and eat frequent small snacks! I test before and after each meal to keep tract of how my body responds to different foods. I focused my goal on reducing my sugars. I am at 100lbs lost now and have maintained it so far.
I lost 10kg in 1.5 months without loosing any muscle. I didn't count calories but I mixed low carbs plus intermittent fasting and I feel very good now. I had no hair loss, few of my problems got cured and I feel great nowadays
I lost 70 pounds on the Keto diet in 18 months. I was under doctor's supervision; one who specializes in the Keto Lifestyle. She was encouraging, informative, sympathetic and supportive. Then the pandemic hit. My doctor had to close her practice. Without her guidance and encouragement I began to flounder and drifted back to my old eating habits. Mentally, I became lost and discouraged as my weight started to go up. All the health benefits I had gained from Keto were destroyed. I gained 40 pounds back and I don't feel well. I started doing Keto again on August 24th. To date (10/8/2021) I have dropped 21 pounds. Physically I feel pretty good. I'm trying to keep a positive attitude, but I am struggling. I've never been much of a meat-eater and most of the 'legal' veggies on Keto make me sick. My go--to foods were fruit, pasta, rice, corn, all the high carb veggies, sugary sodas, and sweets. The one thing about Keto that I do like is intermittent fasting. It helps me to stop focusing on food that I should not eat and refocus my energy to planning meals that are low carb. I must be brutally honest, for me the Keto diet is not sustainable. It feels cruel, restrictive, depressing, and exhausting. So, how do I deal with the negativity, the anger, the oppression that I feel on the Keto diet? I take it one day at a time; one meal at a time. I am a carboholic. I am genuinely happy that so many people have lost weight, improved their health and do so well on Keto. You covered many of the reasons I recognize in my attitude, for not doing the strict Keto diet. I appreciate your honesty. While I don't keep to a strict Keto diet, I take what I learned from my doctor as guides for not going back to old eating habits. I am 73 years old. I would like to enjoy the rest of my life in good health, both physically and mentally. Sorry this post is so long. My best wishes to you and all your viewers.
The main reason I am eating Keto is to reduce my blood sugar level so that I don't need the meds for type 2 diabetes, if I loose weight as well that is a bonus.
Robert, do you think a vegan can lose weight and avoid T2 Diabetes?
@@lucyheart8033 Don't imagine that your hormones would be particularly thankful for keto, but managing a carefully-restricted carb and overall calorie intake should do wonders in the long-term
Me too. I started 2days ago cos I'm pre diabetic.
@@lucyheart8033 yes
I just want to thank you. Your honesty is immensely refreshing, and the info you give is very useful. I did strict keto for around half a year, and I honestly can say that it’s the best I’ve felt emotionally in my whole life: like a zen monk, at peace with life (I have a tendency towards anxiety, so the change was amazing); It also helped with weight loss. I haven’t continued it because my wife finds cooking a source of joy and family integration, almost in a spiritual way. We are Peruvian, so foods tend to be high carb, with rice and potato everywhere. 2020 was such a hard to year, that I decided towards regular meals that made everyone happy and gathered sharing in the table. But now I know I have a tool that is more powerful than anything I know for managing my anxiety.
I started Keto in November and down 30 pounds so far, still have about 15-20 to go, but love how I feel!! So much energy, sleeping well, no snoring, no aches or pains, and I’m 56! I will be Keto forever! Channels like this make it so easy. I don’t miss all the crap,I used to eat, now when I smell things like fast food, it instantly curls my stomach. Living Keto with no regrets!
Hey there, Sahil, good thing for us that you're NOT a doctor, dietitian, or nutritionist - they helped get us here in the first place and try to keep us here! But you ARE intelligent and logical and passionate about food and health, so WIN-WIN all around!
Painful to know that you feel doctors brought you here. Being a doctor toiling for her patients day and night, reading such comments really breaks my morale.
The evidence is mounting that virtually all doctor and nutritionist recommended diets are appropriate only for people who are already in good health, but harmful to those who need to regain their health. At the heart of many of the most common diseases today including diabetes, heart attack and stroke, is inflammation, caused by decades of carbohydrate abuse and seed oils. Unfortunately, those continue to be included in most "recommended" diets, making it all worse.
Why non-medical people blame doctors is...
A. Doctors say eat balanced diet..
? What is balanced diet
? We have been eating balanced diet throughout our life
B Doctor's should understand Nutrition is the main cause of all aliment.
? Body type - food type
? Importance of vitamins
? Deficits and additives
C. Even-If Doctor's know - they don't tell us as they will lose lifelong income out of patients.
? Hence those patients come to Google youtube to find what is a food type for them.
? What is balanced diet for them.
If Doctor's did their job of educating..
We did not need any other information source.
I have been doing keto past 6months..and have lost 10kg..I believe keto is a life changer.
Doing keto WITH intermittent fasting (very easy to do once you know how - ck channel of Dr Jason Fung) for close to 2 1/2 years. I’m now over 65 years old and ALL my #’s have come to normal and I’m off ALL 17 medications! Haven’t lost much weight in all that time (26 lbs) as I don’t exercise. I’m a terrible cook but I stick with whole- not processed foods and as much organic as possible on my very limited income. My doctor is shocked and wanted to know about keto!
I want quality of life, not just life!
Getting off 17 meds is really impressive!
@@pamelap.123 it took 16 months > 2 years but I stuck with it!
Great job!
That's awesome. I am also working my way to the no medication list :)
@@Cordelia0704p be prepared for backlash. My PCP & cardio doctors don’t like it. It’s my life and my decision - which means it’s also MY $. Stand up for yourself and the best of everything for your journey!
I started keto when my doctor told me I was getting close to pre diabetic. I decided to CHANGE MY LIFESTYLE by starting keto. I have lost a little over 20 pounds since August 2020!!!!! I feel great, love eating my low carb no sugar meals and snacks. It feels good to feel good....... only people on keto knows that feeling 😉😊
I am on Strict KETO for almost 2 months because I have cancer. It feels like I don’t have a choice than changing my diet to keto. My doctor doesn’t recommend to do this for longer than 6 months. In long run he doesn’t believe it is a healthy diet. Instead he recommend to change it to low carb, when the cancer is gone ;)
I notice more energy, my emotions are more stable. I bounce back more easily after a bad day. And I nearly have side effects from my cancer treatments. I am not far enough in treatment that I can tell if the KETO worked for my tumor.. but I believe it does! And believing works like a placebo 👍 So if the Keto does anything than it is that !!
More power to you queen 💜
I am a Type 2 diabetic. I started Keto a year ago and have stuck to it. I reversed my diabetes and have lost weight. I don't see a reason to stop.
Oh brother.... you absolutely nailed this. I've been trying to tell people this for so long.
With the start of the year you know a lot of people are attempting to change their eating habits. I wish EVERYONE could see this exact message pertaining to all diets.
Reguardless of what diet or method you use to lose weight, at the end of the day you still need to be in a calorie deficit
I started keto over 4 yrs ago. Did the research for 2 months before I started. I am 65, and lost 150 lbs 3 times, only to gain it all back and that's not counting the countless diets in-between. This is the only way of eating that has worked for me. Wish I had found this when my kids were young, so I could have enjoyed all the things that come with a fit body. I will eat this way for the rest of my life! Lost the weight the first year and have maintained for over 3 yrs. Good Luck everyone!
Wow! Well done. Inspiring!
I want to lose 35 pounds any suggestions? Just started Leto 3 days ago
@@Alice-MeLaV keep it simple, read your labels, just because the package says Keto, don't believe it. Good luck!
I’ve been low carb (somewhat paleo/primal with dairy) for 7 years and keto for 3 years. It has healed persistent and debilitating hip bursitis, reduced high blood pressure (now no meds), rosacea gone, other skin conditions and so much more. My goal is for health primarily. I really like your channel and your jibber-jabber. Love from Canada. 🌹.
hay there... i am 35 (years old). i started the strict keto when i was a tween (9-13). i had bad epilepsy (or seizures) since i was 5-6... and no meds worked for me. now i am on the regular keto to the loosely based keto. loosely base means i guessamate on the scale. anyway... my dr said to try keto, not to loose weight but to control my seizures. and yes it works wonders. oddly enough my strict keto included the pod based peas (legumes). i am trying to say... there is a lot of types of keto. we are used to the strict or regular keto but there is a lot of other keto to chose from too (like loosely, targeted, cyclical, and lazy man keto). i'm rambling so i will stop... thanks for my rant about my keto story.
My son has Epilepsy, his is controlled by Keppra, he's now doing keto and feels much better for it.
I am totally stoked to hear Keto has helped with your condition, so happy for you!
Lazy man Keto 🤣🤣🤣
@@PS-eg2bn it's on there... it's where you have the standard keto but with potato and potato chips. and it is more about the low carbs then the fats and protein.
I was totally carb and sugar addicted when my body had had enough in January 2016 (age 59) and one day woke up feeling like Iʻd been playing NFL football for 20 years and suddenly quit -- and wasnʻt on any painkillers. I hurt absolutely everywhere. I felt fine as long as I didnʻt move anything, but anything I moved, I was almost in tears. Bending over to pick up after my dog was excruciatingly painful. Getting out of the car after a few minutes, painful. Mowing my yard, painful and exhausting.
It took me months of research, and I learned about cutting out grains, so, aha! I did that in May 2016 and that helped a lot. It eventually reduced 70% of the pain and I lost some weight and felt better, but I plateaued, and there was still some pain and I couldnʻt figure out why. What was causing all the inflammation?
The following July I learned by watching a Dr. Berg video that it was the sugar. I needed to cut out all sugar. I learned from him that that meant sugar, honey, maple syrup, agave, FRUIT -- why had I never heard to cut out the fruit before?!, all sweeteners except stevia or monkfruit.
Two days into no sugar and no grains and I was totally, 100% pain-free.
I went through several difficult weeks of going off sugar, with my fluctuating energy levels and insulin trying to rebalance itself, and eating way more green leafy vegetables than my body had ever processed before, and finally I started feeling good. The flexibility returned. I lost the rest of the weight I needed to lose. In my total journey, starting in May 2016, so pretty soon Iʻll be 5 years grain-free and 4 years grain- and sugar-free, I started out as a size 18-20 and now Iʻm a 6-8. I can go without food for days and not feel bad. The hypoglycemia I had since I was a first-grader disappeared. Iʻm smaller now than I was anytime after 6th grade.
I have never cheated (except for an intermittent fasting cheat once in a great while, extending my fasting window too far) because I know how painful it is to my body, eating sugar and carbs. Iʻm not going there ever again.
Iʻve also done the research and know that at least with mice, if they do the keto diet and then quit, and gain it all back, itʻs much more difficult if not impossible to get back to the place they were originally with keto. Iʻve done too much hard work to get me where I am today. Iʻm not going to jeopardize my success or my feelings of health and strength and flexibility and pain-free-ness and endurance.
I see keto as a life-long commitment. And itʻs fun and enjoyable! How many keto mug cake recipes have I tried? Not enough yet!!
All these points are spot on. I've told some friends and family that Keto may NOT be for them. It's not for everyone. And your first point was the most important!! Great video!! Horns UP!
All five points are so correct.... thank you for reminding them...
I'm a 78 year old male and have been on Atkins for 25 years now. This was a life saver because it stopped me from feeling starved all the time. No other diet would stop me from feeling hungry all the time. I am now the same weight at 78 as I was at 19! I have lost 82 pounds and kept it off. It is not a restrictive diet. When I'm hungry I eat. I remember what Dr. Atkins said about the restricted calorie diet he was on before he came up with his Atkins diet. Atkins said that he had already eaten his daily allowable calories by first coffee break. That summed up my feelings before the Atkins diet. I'm in better shape today than I was at 19. How many people can say that? If you don't know how to cook then learn! There are more low carb recipes available today than you could ever use in ten lifetimes! There is absolutely no reason to ever get tired of a low carb diet.
I started Atkins back in 1974. I was 18 years old, weighed 119 lbs and a newlywed. I thought gosh I am so fat! Now I am almost 67 and I am at 140 lbs. I started back on Atkins hoping to shed a few pounds. Atkins works!
Excellent reasons.
Thank you muchly for sharing.
Take care, stay safe, & a late Happy New year everybody. ❤️🙂🐶
Thanks Sahil for pointing these points! I’m on day 388 on keto and I lost over 80lbs! There’s no cheat day whatsoever that’s why there’s channels like yours, who have developed recipes! I’m finishing up a 7 day(168hrs) fast tomorrow, I’m fully fat adapted! I can prolonged fast on command. I hate that when ppl ask me if there’s a cheat day, that really irritates me! Happy New Year to u and your family Sahil, keep making the vids!
Thank you for keeping it real Dear...much appreciated🤘🤘
I have changed the way I think about food and my relationship with food. I have been eating a low carb/keto diet for almost 5 years now. Some of the reasons us weight maintenance, but more importantly to me is the healing of my arthritis and leveling of my anxiety and depression. I don't miss grains at all and I hate to feel too full. I just love how my life has changed.
@4:46 honestly speaking. Before I found you I really did believe this way of eating was too restrictive. Once I found your channel from then on it was my starting point for diet.
I have made so many changes to my habits since going on keto. Your recipes are so versatile, you can create a new dish with your recipes such as my quiche using your keto naan recipe as a base.
Been doing Keto for about a year now. Its the best thing I have done for my own health and well being.
Currently I am even somewhat underweight so I went up to 3 Meals a day from 2 meals a day so I can keep my current weight.
Its the only Diet where you eat good and can do it forever. It even aligns with most of the foods I have been eating for a lifetime but my family always made the mistake to add rice or bread to something that was close to perfection from a nutritional standpoint.
I have the same problem. I am underweight but want to start keto because of of diabetic.do not want to loose but gain weight.
Keto has done wonders for me! I have Multiple Sclerosis and it has drastically reduced the inflammation in my body.
I love your videos!! You really break things down in a great way for everyone to understand. Also, your cookbook is my favorite. I use it all the time.
I’ve definitely changed some habits for the better. I do feel better for it. And I would rather ‘invest’ in the correct ingredients to ‘sustain’ the modified keto. Useful video!! Thanks 🙏🏼
I think that's exactly the way a lot of people think of keto...all of the bacon and steak your stomach can hold. I started keto in November of 2019. It was easy, simple and I lost 20 lbs. in about 2 months and everybody noticed. I felt better, had more energy and my blood work was great. I guess this is nothing but an excuse, but after the virus hit and I was at home a lot more, I got bored and started eating carbs again. Let me tell you that it doesn't take long to gain it all back. Those fat cells never go away, they just deflate and when you eat bad, they're very eager to just fill back up again! The great thing about it the diet was that I never got hungry. I could literally go ALL day on a mug of coffee with whipped cream. It really satiates you.I 'm planning on going back on it this month. Happy New Year Sahil! I've got to grab your cookbook and start using it again!
Good video, thanks mate. I am 65 and have been a sugar addict for 60 years ,and I mean a REAL ADDICT, so 6 months ago when the doctor told me I would die of a heart attack unless I went on Statins it was a shock for me. I stumbled across Keto by chance and I am so glad I did . The first 3 weeks were shear HELL, I had terrible withdrawal symptoms by cutting out carbs, cakes,Mars bars ,Snickers bars ,Kit Kat’s, you name it, if it had sugar then I would eat it. Converting my body to burn ketones was not easy so anyone going into this having been on a high carb diet for a long time should be prepared for a rough ride, but , it is worth it. I now just have one meal a day, am rarely hungry . I know at my age I probably have done to much damage to my body but if you are younger than me then please do it, you will feel so much healthier and energetic once you have acclimatized to Keto. Don’t listen to the scaremongering by the doctors,they do not even get taught nutritional medicine. By the way, like your music, I am a headbanger too, and grew up with Ozzy Osborne so that makes me a granddad headbanger. Lol Rock on and Keto hard fella
Hope you’re seeing some amazing results health wise 🤍
@@Mydogsleepsat10pm yes,thank you,I feel extremely fit and healthy now.I have lost 15kg in weight, I am now 68kg, my skin has improved so that all the dark blotches and moles have almost disappeared. I eat just animal fat and protein and less than 20g of carbs a day. All my friends and even my doctor say “ yes, you might look healthy but inside you are full of cholesterol” fools!!!! My triglyceride readings are below the minimum and my HDL is above the maximum and I am very happy. It is just a shame that I have not been able to convince people that I care about that the diet that is recommended to them by our so called “food experts” is slowly killing them. I have made my lifestyle choice and I am sure it will have added a couple more years to my life. I thank all the doctors and experts who have guided me to the keto diet, they are the true Health Champions😀😀
@@bikerdawson2034 any effect on hairs?
@@bikerdawson2034 have you had a CAC test?
@@calmingdragon2862 No, I have not had a CAC test. I would like to but it is so expensive. I know this is probably the best test to have but my blood pressure is always good and my bloods are good now and following a healthy Keto diet I am sure I have added a few more years to my life😀
I’ve chosen keto 3 years ago and I’ve been keto since... I love all the varieties of options that the ketogenic diet have now.. I’ve lost 55 lbs and kept it off. My mind is clearer and my attitude about myself is better..I feel so much happier and healthier
Before Keto was the new thing, I just started on my own by eating low carb and high protein based on advice from a doctor. I got plenty of exercise at work and also worked out after work. I dropped 97 lbs in 9 months! Once my body and my mind got used to eating that way, I never craved the bad processed foods. I slowly incorporated carbs back into my diet ( rice, potatoes & pasta ) but I never gorged myself on them. It’s definitely a mindset and a discipline!
Last year I try KETO+ OMAD for 40 days , nd I loose 11kg . I was so happy but after 14 months later I gain my weight coz of lockdown I eat all my favourite foods . but guess what I started my diet again , it's my 2nd day , 38 days more to go.
Hope 4 best ❤️
You gained weight because you are too much food. If you are doing OMAD you reduced your calories to a very small amount and then in lockdown you probably doubled the amount of food you are and gained it back. If you make less drastic changes you will see less extreme results.
@@HeadbangersKitchen yaa in lockdown I eat so much . Btw you recipes r the lifesaver for me . Thank u so much .
Great video, I started keto only becausse I found your channel. Binge watched and started following the beginners E#1, lost 4 lbs in 7 days. Thanks for all the effort you put into these videos Sahil.
Excellent points!
My only slight rebutal is that many people have to be on keto for a couple/few weeks before they can start to truly see the benefits, realize all the food the can eat, and get over sugar cravings and addictions. so for someone considering it or who hasn't been on it long enough they might think it is unsustainable or too restrictive. But if they give it a try they might change their mind.
I feel like people should try it for 30 days no cheating and then consider those questions
I had horrible aura migraines when I quit sugar. It took me 2 weeks to finally wean my body off of sugar. It is a really serious addiction. I don't think anyone should eat sugar IMHO.
Good point. I'm just on day 5 (following HK beginners) and this is the way I'm thinking already so you've spurred me on. Thanks.
@@snoopy8mybaby Good! I actually wrote that comment a year or so ago, but wanted to let you know I am still on keto and doing great. I reached my weight loss goal and am maintaining. And I found many many more health benefits other than weight loss. So stick with it! Sahil (HK) seems to go off and on keto. I am not sure if he is doing it now or not. But he has great recipes.
These are life lessons, not just for a diet, hehe. You nailed them all so well! I decided to go Keto just for a mini-cut instead of water fasting this time and I really love cheese and mushrooms. Experimenting with different diets and cooking methods and alternatives can be a real survival toolkit - 2020 taught me that. I am sooo glad I found this channel first. As someone who loves simple recipes, I cannot tell u how much I appreciate the meal plans, customizability, and macro tables!
I am a type 2 diabetic. I started Keto to lower my blood sugar. It did help a lot. More than the medication I was on. I did loose about 13 pounds. A good chunk of that was water weight. I have transitioned to Carnivore for the hormonal benefits. I gained back the weight I lost but am feeling much better. Now I am starting to transition to a hybrid between Keto and Carnivore. Dr Ken Berry and his wife call it Ketovore.
You are definitely correct in that calories matter. What I am finding is that as I heal, I am getting less and less hungry. I sometimes even eat only once or twice a day because I generally am not hungry for breakfast and some times lunch has me full enough that I don't feel the need to eat dinner (sometimes but not often). This is reducing the calories I take in daily compared to what I used to eat. You are also correct in having the right mind set. If you go into this with the mind set that this is a diet and not a lifestyle, you're setting yourself up for failure.
Love this video and others you have made. Keep doing what you do (youtube and death metal) and any other project that catches your interest. I hope you have a wonderful year.
I'm glad I watched this episode. Your candid thoughts hit home. I did think it was magic. And I did lose 30 lbs. Then it stopped because I stopped behaving. Thank you for the wake up call. I needed this.
Since losing mire weight than expected I've been in maintenance mode. I now watch my calories in order to keep them UP. My routine has settled into omad one day, two meals next day, omad next day and on. Therefore my calories on omad day are very low.

If you do not like to cook then keto is definitely not for you.
Best and truest comment here
Throwing bacon into the microwave isn't cooking. Neither is opening a can of sardines or salmon. Neither is cutting an avocado in half, or throwing a slab of ribs into the slow cooker, or buying a bag of salad. I'm no cook, but I find keto meals easy to prepare, and since I only eat once a day, it takes little of my time.
Been on keto over a year. No need to cook if you dont want to. I eat pretty boring meals by most standards but it suits me. Boiled eggs with precooked bacon. Meat plus salad. Slow cooker soups and stews.. stuff like that.
Thank you for this information. I’m a yo-yo dieter! I hate it. Keto helped me I then went back to carbs and banged all the weight back on! I love keto! I’m going back on it forever! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Good video. You are so right. It is all about sustainability.
Keto and calories deficiency works. I'm down 24lbs in one month. Still healthy however, my calories are now down to 1600 (I weigh 230lbs). That took time and some stomach shrinking. Sprinkling in a few half day fasting and you lose weight.
note, drink a ton of water if you go the keto route. a ton!
Hey bro! I just started doing keto and I think I am experiencing keto flu now and feeling somewhat depressed don't know exactly why. Could please just take a moment and say something motivational to help me keep going 😁
Glad you didn't forget the homie Tyrone...😆🤦🏾♂️
Hi there. Been on keto for around 2 months and enjoying it a lot. With this covid lockdown situation I had to reconsider calories in vs calories out since I gained as much body fat during 3 months as previously during a year.
First, tabata workout didn't do the magic. Then intermittent fasting came my way. 6 months ago I adopted Warrior Diet which quickly turned into OMAD. Finally, I had to realize that calories in does matter. That's how I ended up switching to Keto. I passed the keto flu by the book and now I'm happy with new lifestyle
Yes! Yes! Yes! We've had discussions re: the calorie counting - If you are counting your macros you are essentially counting calories at the same time! 1 gram of carbs is 4 Cal, 1 gram of protein is 4 Cal and 1g of fat is 9 Calories. It's like saying 'You can drive your car only 1 kilometre, but don't worry as can drive as many metres as you like'. Great video mate
I don't want to count the micros for all my meals, but eating low- carb ( and extremely low sugar ) is important to me. Having to deal with CSID ( congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency ) means I don't process any kind of sugar and all those keto recipes have been really helpful . I just don't use as much fat since I don't really follow keto . I am doing more of a keto/paleo kinda eating . Please keep them coming. BTW your butter chicken recipe is out of this world :-)
Love your sense of humor
I did count calories at first ,but once i adapted to keto,i knew what i was eating and what the calories are,i do carb refeed on weekends ,not processed food ,mainly sweet potatoes,or some fruit,lost 100+ on keto and OMAD. Some people use keto as a tool and some use it as a lifestyle,to each their own,do whatever works for you.I personally enjoy the foods you can eat on keto.
I've always been a carb addict and after having my kids my weight crept up and up. I tried carnivore, lost some weight but it was restrictive and I can't even look at a steak these days. Then I went back to normal food and my weight crept up, so then I started severely restricting my food to one small meal that I would have in the evening....my weight didnt drop and I was almost starving every single day and would binge....I tried portion control, vegetarian, raw food diet, fruit diet..nothing worked ........
......then I discovered Headbangers Kitchen and went Keto. I've been doing keto (with the help of this channel) for several weeks now and the weight is slowly dropping off without me feeling like I'm really trying. The day I discovered cauliflower rice was the day I knew this was my new way of eating. My stomach is no longer bloated, I'm no longer feeling depressed and worried, this is it now. Just finished a lovely plate of egg fried rice (cauliflower and pork). If I get hungry and need to eat something I just eat some dried fish (we have that here in Iceland) or a small can of mackerel.
I went from 75kg to 50kg over the year 2020 from keto. Warning: I had to donate most of my clothes since everything is size zero now. I had to start using my little sister's clothes, and even then it's a pinch loose.
wow. I lost little bid. I am doing it now 3 months maybe little bid more.
Been keto 2 1/2 yrs. Has really helped my arthritis, I have more energy, feel better =]
When he said my First Name at the beginning, I was more than confused
Always live your channel. So matured and brod minded.
This is a lot of sense. My own experience of trying keto is that when I was clearly in ketosis I felt wonderful, energetic, focussed. But small indiscretions, designed to make the restrictions less onerous, would quickly take me out of ketosis, and carbohydrate cravings would lead me into major discretions. It's hard.
I started 2days ago for my pre diabetic condition. I'm 80kgs and 51yrs. I am gonna take this as a challenge. Cheers from Dubai
This post is good, Sahel. 🙏🌱
I could listen to you talk everyday! : )
Thank you, Sahill. I love your music and keto videos. I have been keto for the last 2 1/2 years. I lost 120 pounds. I feel great. I have recently added exercise. I should have done exercise from the start. It has been easy for me. Quitting booze helps, but is not necessary for weight loss. Weed is a better high anyway. Caffeine is okay. Cigarettes are poison, but don't really affect keto. This is just my experience. I am a musician and math teacher, not a doctor.
I’m 64 yrs/old, I’ve been on Keto for 1.5 yrs. I’ve lost the 20 pounds that I wanted to loose. I do intermittent fasting (18 hrs fast and 6 hrs feeding period) some time on weekends I do 20/4 without problems. I work physically and like to exercise on off days. It is a little challenging with my wife not being Keto, having to plan for 2 meals a lot of days. She tried and couldn’t. But she tries to blend our menu to accommodate both diets. I am not sure if I will keep Keto forever, I really miss my red wine and beer. Not that I overindulged with booze but I like my wine with a filet mignon or my beer on Hockey night. I don’t really miss sweets even if I always had a sweet tooth, and I never crave junk food. Even when my wife opens a bag of chips, I won’t even have one. Life is too short to do without the little pleasures.
I have finally ordered your cookbook.
Keto made my psoriasis completely disappear in just 4 months. Had it for 2 decades. It also helped my fatigue/neurological illness. It was hard work but I'm coming back because it was worth it!
Bro! You have my respect. I loved that you mentioned that you aren't a doctor, dietician, or a consultant. I have seen people taking advantage of innocent people and scamming them with ridiculous consultant fees and give them shit in return.
Being a Doctor myself, You sir, Have my respect.
P.S. I really think you somewhat sound like Vir Das.
I found keto to be the best life style for me, With all my health issues. The beginning was harder. I have to admit, most of my sugary cravings are gone. It is nice to see so many new bread alternatives recipes now.
I started Keto four weeks ago. It wasn’t to lose weight but was lured by the health benefits. The health benefits are really great and as a bonus I have lost 10lbs of fat too! Loving it!
2.5 yrs strong. So YES. It’s sustainable. I am keeping the weight I lost off. But it’s still a day by day battle. And I never got to my goal weight, but did lose 30 pounds! Which I had never been able to do until I went keto. ( and I spent wasted years on vegetarian, and 3 yrs vegan with no weight loss. THIS is what works for me.
Useful and helpful information...
I am 65 years old and have been doing keto for approximately 3 years. I was diagnosed with T2 Diabetes about 10 years prior to that but since starting keto, have not needed medication and my sugar levels have remained in the normal range ever since. Sometimes I struggle to keep the amount of food I eat under control, but I know if I don't keep the carbs low, my health will suffer.
Very true words! I still love Keto. The longest stretch I had it straight was 3 years. But I'm doing partly Keto since over 25 years, I think I will do it the rest of my life, strict or less strict.
Love your keto recipes, went on low carb 2 years ago and put T2 diabetes in remission!
Adding some fasting in conjunction with Keto is the magic combo for me.
I switch between Keto and Lowcarb and that fits me well. I‘m on my Keto journey for about 8 Weeks and will then hop back to Lowcarb.
Thank you for this post. I love your reciepes by the way.
Keto is no magic bullet, but it fixed the one thing I have struggled with my entire life, it gave me control over my appetite like I have never ever had. It’s made a huge difference in my life.
am so glad to hear that!
I have maintained for a year. I eat some green beans, carrots and corn. Very little but some in soups.
I'm on Keto for almost two years..this diet helped me to loose a lot of weight. I tried a lot of different ones and somehow i couldn't stay on it When I started with keto I was 350lbs now I'm 180.. it takes a lot of wheel power and work on yourself but it's worth it. It also helped me with my immune system and well selfbeing.. Now it became a life style I don't think I could change that , no I know I won't change that..
Btw I love your clips
Than you! AM glad Keto has helped you and you've been able to make it your lifestyle.
Oh my World!!! Congrats dearie.
As a guy doing a short-term keto cut, I've simply replaced both of my weekly cheat days with fast days. Sunday sees me eating nothing and doing nothing, Wednesday is the same, but simply ripping it up in the gym.
Should keep those daily calorie requirements up while stringing me along at a confident deficit. As commitments go, it's no sleep 'til 6-pack over here.
I did notice that there are a couple of people have raised an interesting point about people failing to push into dietary changes at the turns of each year. Feels a bit strange to think about, considering that I can completely stick any change I make pretty much at time I recognise the need for one.
Thank you for your great information
My pleasure
Thanks for this great reminder and reinforcement Sahil!
Hi thanks for a great common sense video ,for me im trying to avoid diabetic problems .
I started keto due to my pcos which has caused me to have insulin resistance. I do believe this video will be helpful for new keto eaters and especially the question of cheating
I have been doing a so called vegetarian keto (may not really be keto as per standard). I used to limit carbs to 50 or 75 grams per day along with keeping calories in control (less than 2500 cal) . Your videos were still helpful because i got the method. Used to replace ur chicken with soya chunks (may not be fully keto).
I did lose weight as much as I wanted. All i want to say is that any high protein and low carb diet works like keto. Keto is still most effective of all fat loss diets
Good points, I agree. Thankfully none of these applied to me and I've done great on keto. A "cheat day" for me is having something with artificial sweetener-- which is like once a month. I do love that I no longer have the desire to eat sugar or grains or starchy fruits/veg for the first time in my life, as I used to be quite addicted to them. That makes this the first healthy way of eating that is sustainable for me (reversed diabetes, off meds, down nearly 100 lbs).
It helps keep your blood sugar down to normal
It’s been 4 days I started keto and I’m loving it so much but also the craving are bad
But if you can control yourself you can do it♥️♥️
A month and a half ago i went to the hospital as my blood sugar was way up in the 500 range. i was already on a diet two months before that and i had lost about 8kgs.still i got diabetes because of what i ate i.e potatoes rice and pasta .my doctor gave me meds but i also decided to follow the keto diet after some yt video watching mainly mr ekberg.i know i ll be satisfied with eating meat etc forever .my blood sugar has come down to normal lvls within this short time and i keep losing weight so for me it is magic.i went to the doctor again after one month and he was pleasantly surprised.my goal is to stop taking the meds and if i lose weight its an added bonus.i enjoy watching your keto recipe videos and you seem like a cool dude.i see keto as a lifestyle change along with walking more than i used to.i do 3k a day most days which isnt a lot but it used to be zero and i feel comfortable doing just that so.. .thank you and sry for being jibberjabbery :)
I am on Keto especially because my ADHD brain feels much more better navigating through the day. And I consider weight loss the added bonus but how a diet helps my brain health is my priority. Love your channel and Thank you 💕
Why about tourettes and Tics
I was on Keto almost 2 years ago and dropped it too. I did lose some weight but I couldn't see myself eating that way forever. It felt too restrictive especially fruit-wise. Not sustainable for me. I'd rather do moderate carbs moderate fats and I manage to still lose weight while eating non processed carbs.
I do keto and intermittent fasting during the work week and then relax on the weekend but maybe skip sunday suppers. Overall I’ve lost about 10kg in the last year or 2 and I generally have a much better relationship with food. Like i don’t really enjoy sugar anymore and cook at home a lot more. Some weekends I stick to keto and sometimes if it’s near to my period I’ll have some extra carbs in the week.
It’s a bit slack but it works for me
I've been doing low-carb and keto for almost 3 years. I think the most liberating part of it is the fact that one isn't beholden to the mood swings and hunger that comes from eating a standard diet. My wife and I do things like resistant starch as well, but I've also incorporated the Targeted Keto Diet as well for days where I'm doing extensive levels of exercise. Fasting goes hand in hand with this way of eating and enhances mental clarity. Weight loss and maintenance is fairly easy.
I’ve been keto for two years doing it for diabetes now I’m grr of all meds this is a lifestyle
