    I do Keto bc of T2D and cardiac issues, most are actually resolved and I am in a state of neogenisis. My father has lowered kidney functions and he has been told to refrain from dairy and red meats. While considering this I had a thought, how come no one has ever mentioned the effects of taking handfuls of pills everyday prescribed by doctors. Seriously all the binders and additives, chemicals along with the medication has to be filtered out somehow and what effect does those things have on the kidneys? What damage is being done to the kidneys by doctors trying g treat symptoms and make a $$$ instead of addressing the core cause?

      Exactly. Not to mention, Keto is traditionally 75%+ fats per day and only 20% protein. And it doesn't matter if it's animal-based or plant-based protein. There is also a HUGE difference between people eating loads of processed sodium vs high quality real salt like Himalayan Sea Salt or Redman's Real Salt. Not to mention, you only really need to worry about having a higher salt intake while you're getting adapted to the diet. I rarely worry about my salt intake at all. Sometimes I get a decent amount, sometimes very little, and sometimes none at all.

    This is amazing. You confirmed what I thought. I intermittent fasting everyday. The first 4 months I see good results with health improvement for my arthritis, that's my only issue. I cut down carbs and consume excessive protein to keep me feeling full and satisfied for a long fasting 18 hours. I start to notice foaming urine for many days. When diminish protein intake and replace more carbs, urine is back to normal. It's a conflict between carbs and protein. I tested many times, got same result. More carb less protein, no foaming. Increase protein less carb, foam urine is back.
    This is the only video that tells me what I doubted.

(because most people who try it don't experience that, so I wonder what they do "right" to prevent the foaminess from happening)

    • @TheJokesterSCR
      @TheJokesterSCR Рік тому

      It's dehydration. While getting adapted to Keto, your body gets rid of sodium and water weight quickly. So, it's usually recommended to add high quality Himalayan Sea Salt or something like Redman's Real Salt to your foods and water. This should clear that issue right up. And, 75% or more of your daily caloric intake should be from FATS, not protein. Otherwise, you're doing Atkins and not a traditional Keto diet. The FATS are what will keep you satiated. If you're eating tons of lean meats, you're still gonna feel hungry. One big meal with fatty meat and added fats from things like butter, lard, coconut, avocado, or olive oils will keep you satiated WAY longer than lean meats with loads of veggies.

Other beans are very high in fibre and have more carbs though but small amounts can be ok for some, particularly on an active day. You can measure your blood sugar to see the effects.

    Keto is meant to make our bodies use FATS as fuel, NOT proteins. Also, you can eat as little animal based protein OR protein in general as you wish on a Keto diet. It should be 75% or MORE of your caloric intake coming from fats, especially healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, with a smaller amount of saturated fats. If you eat a big salad of low-carb veggies and add in 4 tbsp of olive or avocado oil, that's over 400 extra calories from the pure fats alone and is absolutely considered Keto. Many Keto experts actually recommend this. It's not all about eating tons of bacon, butter, cheese, and saturated fats. Sure, you CAN and still get some benefits, but it's not the best for you in the long haul. As with any diet, if you're gonna do it, you should do it right. Otherwise, it's kinda pointless.

    Great video, I’ve just subscribed to your channel.
    I’m 42 and I’ve been weight training since I was 17. I do weights 4 times per week and do regular cardiovascular workouts. 2 years ago my GFR was 88. I had another blood test 6 weeks ago and my GFR was 60! I decided to stop taking 5g of creatine every day and eat vegan food 5 days per week. I had another blood test 2 weeks ago and my GFR had increased to 73! I’ve also now removed organic whey isolate protein so it will be interesting to see whether my GFR has improved even further. Do you think it’s likely that I have kidney disease? I don’t drink or smoke. I drink plenty of water to stay well hydrated and 97% of my diet is mostly whole foods.

    The protein Hypothesis has no evidence or data to back it up, also, it its not really current, its very antiquated.
    What happens that the kidney starts not processing proteins properly? The damage happens, this is NOT the cause. We all pee out protein, this is a normal, its only when it is elevated we worry. And the main culprit is damage by excessive glucose in the blood stream.
    Personally I think this doctor is unqualified to speak about Keto and Kidneys. Jason Fung on the other hand is qualified because hes a "kidney doctor" or more correct, a Nephrologist. His background includes physically studying actual patients and monitoring using his own clinic.

    Not true...you should have a flex day once or twice a month where you raise your carbs just a bit (not sugar and tons of carbs, but some healthy carbs like organic sweet potatoes, for instance). A 24-hr fast after the flex day is recommended. Then, return back to healthy keto.

    Yeah, Keto is NOT hard to stick with. It's no more restrictive than any other diet aside from maybe if you're eating whatever you want but counting calories only. Just stay away from highly processed foods and foods high in carbs. The reason most processed foods are high in carbs is because companies add sugar to EVERYTHING. People shouldn't be eating that crap no matter what diet they're on. I have a pretty decent variety in what I eat and I've been doing it off and on for over a year. I take short breaks to eat carbs again to get it out of my system and to make sure my body doesn't forget how to use carbs as fuel. Otherwise, Keto is actually the easiest diet I've ever done and the only one where I don't feel constantly hungry.

Keto more about the fat, it's not the Atkinson diet.

    Why is plant based protein better? There is no evidence for that. In fact the higher quality protein you eat the lower amount you need. It can be used and does not need to be processed by the kidneys. Controlled trials showed egfr actually increased with high protein diet in CKD 1-3 over one year. Protein restriction is only shown to be beneficial in late stage kidney disease. Salt depends upon your individual response. This low salt recommendation is very old and out of date. The whole video is biased because he is promoting his way of eating. His patients are coming to hime asking about keto because many people have had their kidney disease reverse with keto -- which is unheard of in conventional approaches.

    You're a bit misinformed about what the Keto diet is and the different kinds of Keto diets. A Keto diet higher in protein is pretty much the Atkins diet. There already is a Vegan/Vegatarian based Keto diet. But Keto in general is meant to make us fat adapted so we can use fats as fuel, get the amazing health benefits of ketones, and lose weight relatively quickly. A traditional Keto diet has 75%+ of fats, 20% protein, and 5% or less of carbs. I appreciate you trying to be nonbias, but it appears that you don't really understand the diet. I doubt it was intentional, so I'm not trying to talk down on you. Just educate you on it.
