You, Berg, and the athlean x guy be splittin my wig. Yall say things that really makes me think the medical industry doesnt want us to be well long term.
You are so right about beans. I grew up in Mexico eating beans and every time some one was tired their friends would tell them, "What's the matter with you? Didn't you eat any beans today?"
Packed full of vital information. Thanks for NOT just getting to the point. Some of us really appreciate every bit of information. The tidbits are what helps a good diet culminate into a great diet and overall healthy life experience. Many thanks.
Spinach : Steam or saute until tender .. drain off liquid if excessive .. Dress with butter, vinegar, salt and pepper to season.. sometimes a shake of red pepper flakes totally delish ! (do the same with beet greens ) chop a boiled egg and top the greens at service, for an added flavor boost a bit of crumbled bacon as well .. ( This is how we always had them when I was growing up so I learned early to love spinach and greens... Dad was a chef, this is how they fixed them for the high end menu )
i think a good spinach-pumpkin-coconut milk-curry (yellow, red) could do the trick also. spinach is a 'dark leafy green' with chlorophyl in it which has one magnesium atom in the middle. so dark leafy greens ==> much chlorophyl ==> much magnesium :-)
My God ! My potassiumlevel was very low , that was horror. My heart , muscles, everything was in a nonstop cramp . Dizzy , energie zero. Lo-salt is full of potassium. Tomatoes, potato s , ect ect ect. Soooo incredible important !!! Thanks for this video 🍀🍀🍀
@@Lauren-vd4qe yes that is good too, but some foods need a little heat in order to be digested more fully. some people don't digest some things raw. Lightly and quickly sauteeing is quite good and healthy too
Gonna start putting potassium chloride in my lunch shake, thanks. For two people: 1 cup pecans, 2 tbsp whey protein isolate (I use a flavored one that is pretty sweet, so no need for more sweeteners), 2 tbps coconut oil, as much cocoa powder as you can handle, 1/2 tsp of ginger, 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, and enough water to get the thickness you want.
thank you so much for this video i was researching potassium to help get my grandmother off of this horribly tasting stuff she doesnt like she has dementia and i hate seeing her endure so much unpleasantness ...now i have an even better reason to just feed her these foods through out the day i am hopeful that this information will at least lessen her dosage probably your videos are inspiring and what you do is awesome thank you again
Great video, I’ve been adding cream of tartar in water along with apple cider vinegar and lime juice. You’ve mentioned how great it is for you cause it’s loaded with potassium
Execellent explanation of potassium goods.I am a sixty year old male who works out regularly by running and weight lifting .I also have slightly high blood pressure which my Dr prescribed a diuretic with a potassium supplement twice a day.I have been prone to muscle cramps so the need for more potassium is there.I am going to try foods other than bananas to help my diet.Thanks for the advice!!!
Thanks so much for the info, man. I've just discovered your videos and this is probably the 12th one I've watched in the past couple of days as I research ketogenesis and fasting. Also: I love the fact that you've included the video script in the notes! Keep up the great work, and thanks again.
There's a picture comparison of guys on steroids vs clean weight lifters and you can totally tell the difference especially the popping of veins etc... this guy does not do steroids. Look for that pic on the internet.
you mean, they SAY the body requires 4700. The same people that came up with that number, also said you shouldn't have more than 1 gram of salt, and to do low fat, because fat is bad for you.
@@egeniojaramillo9048 Precisely. Most, if not all, of the dated recommended amounts & guidelines are bunk and rubbish. The entire food pyramid is wrong and, indeed, completely useless. Avoid sugar (except fruits in moderation), eat plenty of salt, exercise and get plenty of sleep - your body will take care of the rest.
You probably have "favism" and shouldn't even look at anything in the legume family including peanuts and a few other things we don't think about. It's not an allergy. It's the lack of a specific enzyme that prevents us from digesting those things properly. I tried to go vegan and I got sick and gained about 7 lbs. Beans are not for everyone. You can try "Beano" if you really love them but why bother with so many other good foods available?
Hi Thomas, I am new to your videos and love what I'm learning. I just found out today that 1cup of chickpea flour has 778.3 mg of Potassium. I use it alot because I'm Vegan.
Been following keto diet for three years. Potassium still remains my biggest obstacle. Cramps in my legs during the night are extremely painful. Last one took three days to recover from. The only thing that seems to work for me is adding "no salt" to my water. I do it 4 times a day and no cramps for days.
My only worry is, how soil and therefore food is becoming depleted of nutrients... How in the hell do we get what we need if food is becoming empty of what we need?
I was delighted to find that Morton LIGHT salt has this potassium chloride that he mentions. It's cheap. I only need five light shakes spread over the entire day. Too much and my resting pulse goes up. I use it right along with a shake or so of regular "RealSalt". This stuff tastes like the best salt you have ever had, but it has about 12 trace minerals, including salt of course. It's naturally air dried and has no fake anti-caking ingredients.
If you find you cramp after raising potassium you likely. We’d more calcium (I love cell salts for this) and or magnesium! There’s a balance needed with the three but calcium and potassium use each other and magnesium uses potassium too. Tomatoes are High as well. I’m so glad I love cooked spinach! It’s a life saver
Thanks, I was looking at those Potassium supps and the % was really low and not worth it at all since we need about several thousand mg - but best to be gotten naturally. Looking into it I found that the highest superfood is Broccoli at 460mg which is even higher than sweet potato at 440mg without carbs. Squash is only 260mg. If you juice like me, I would switch from wheatgrass to Broccoli, or use both for the K2 factor. Just focusing on the Potassium aspect for now, I juice with a few things.
Thomas here is a great tip for you. If you take a bag of sliced mushrooms and put the in the freezer, not only will the last longer but will be easier to to cook. When they are frozen all you have to do is place them in the microwave for a few minutes the are perfectly done.
Immensely helpful post. I've watched a lot of your videos, and have improved my health regime quite a bit with the information provided in them. Thanks!
I dunno...this guy doesn't look as healthy as Duriander......nah!...I'm just joking...this guy can actually focus mentally and speak without cussing every third word.
Great advice, thanks! I also wanted to add that as a middle-aged woman, I don’t like bananas for my source of potassium because they also can cause constipation.
Beans are part of healthy diet; they have a lot of fiber and a lot of micronutrients the only thing that you need to do is make sure that you pressure cook them. Unless one is 100% carnivore; the keto diet includes some carbohydrates just limited, and based on insulin response and blood sugar this is entirely manageable and healthier bc of these micronutrients as well. Fiber is very good as well; and meat and cheese Have no fiber. Beans; are often less processed than many forms of cheese and dairy and are arguably cleaner
Another food that has a lot of potassium, but also suffers from being a sugar food like bananas is medjool dates. I put 3 in my smoothies instead of a sweetener.
Lambos Ooh big tough guy smart ass... ok jungle boy, how about you use your internet connection to learn for yourself if it's high in natural sugar or not and stop wasting our time being argumentative? If it was low in carb or sugar everyone would be adding it to their smoothies and kale shakes along with other forms of coconut they're consuming, but they're not. I guess they actually bothered to do their homework... unlike you.
Ullimately - yes, easier for some people than trying to eat certain foods. seeya205, you're right. Potassium deficiency is sometimes a cause for constipation. Potassium and magnesium help "clear out", interesting that they're both linked with muscle cramps when someone is deficient.
Banana is not too high in sugar, thats an urban myth. It has a lower GI value than brown rice, and many others: Banana = GI 48 Brown Rice = GI 50 Gatorade = GI 89 Baked Potato = GI 111 Source: Glycemic index and glycemic load for 100+ foods - Harvard Health (www.health.harvard.edu/diseases-and-conditions/glycemic_index_and_glycemic_load_for_100_foods)
You need to do more homework. Depending on how ripe the banana is, depends on how much sugar is in it. Green bananas have less sugar but more resistant starch meaning they cannot be digested properly. The sugar amount gets more the older the banana gets! So, you are very very wrong!
welshdragon2008, I guess GI 48 goes for yellow bananas, who eats green or blackened bananas anyways. Bananas are still much healthier than whatever processed food. I see kids every day eating potato chips and drinking coke why? Because bananas are high GI?
bosyeux2 Yes i know but their suger intract with our dna its good..do your reseach..we live on dates for 2000 years..dates very healthy...or there are some not that sweet..called siqee...try it i think u find it in big supermarket
+Anirban Mookherjee it's really important too. if you skip the soaking step, you can end up in the emergency room, i know this because a friend did this. he was in extreme pain. the er dr gave him a green liquid to flush out his system.
Leo Loner yes, a baked potato has more potassium than other foods. sweet potatoes have a lower amount of potassium, but still higher than others. though it is also a starch like bananas and is a carb. one baked potato will still give you more potassium though. helped me avoid those nasty large supplement pills during chemo! literally helped save my life.
that's inspiring to hear...I personally love potatoes! even when I was low-carbing to lose weight I still included one medium baked potato (or sweet potato) a day. It's very filling and rich in other nutrients too. It didn't stall my weight loss or anything, if anything it helped curbed my appetite and eliminated my cravings for other bad carbs. Also perfect as a pre or post work out snack combined with lean protein.
Leo Loner nothing like a baked potato. absolutely love potatoes myself. I've yet to find a potato I didn't like. I've never been on a weight loss diet. never needed to because I was always underweight and struggling to gain. now at my ideal weight I'm just struggling to maintain it among health issues. good luck
I've been at my ideal weight for years now, but it's a struggle to maintain for me as well, I have to watch what I put in my mouth. My brother who's been underweight all his life has recently gained some weight, funnily enough, just by eating clean (in his case, he was a junk food addict and has hyperthyroidism), we even eat the same foods now...no sugar, no processed carbs, mostly whole foods. Back to potatoes, I'm really into stuffed baked potatoes, one of my favorite foods ever, I stuff it with chicken, mushrooms, spinach, cheese,. Really yummy. The only other foods I must always have in my kitchen apart from potatoes are tomatoes (it's in everything I cook) and avocados...which I love in smoothies! Also high in potassium and a great source of healthy fats and antioxidants. Spinach is great too, but I get sick of it so easily, maybe I can try a green smoothie like you mentioned...dunk the greens into my blender with my avocados, and add some frozen cantaloupe for sweetness (yet another great source of potassium, it's got more potassium than bananas from what I've read). I don't know if you've ever tried avocado milkshake, but avocado + milk + honey + ice is a delicious blend, and high in calories, very nutrient dense, you can sub with coconut milk or almond milk too if you don't drink dairy...I would make it for my brother (and myself) all the time. Everytime his weight would start to drop, I get him to drink those between meals and it really helps.
i think people are different in putting weight on (also depending on gut bacteria). and people are also different in winter compared to summer. so maybe winter is a good time for LCHF and summer is the time where your metabolism works different (cause of lots of good sun) and one can tolerate also high carb fruits. so for me there is no one fits all nutrition. i think it is wise to check the differences between people, time of the year and also age or other conditions (like diabetes). good fats are definitly good for producing different hormones. i think the combination of high carbs and high fat could make a problem.
@@13gladiusToKnot If you want to stay diabetic that is good advice. Youu must increase complex carbs as well as beans and vegetables to cure T2D. LCHF will elminate the symptoms of diabetes but you are clinically worsening the effectiveness of insulin. ua-cam.com/video/CT8K6NcAigo/v-deo.htmlm30s

I agree I will stick to bananas. History have proven that man knows nothing at all when it comes to what we shouldn't eat. Aka coconut oil, cholesterol, salt. Omg am so glad I never jumped on the "healthy" train. But I will add some of those other things if I like them to my diet also.

Thank you Thomas! A lot of people are only listing the foods, but an understanding of the sodium-potassium pump in our bodies is just as important.
not for me. ha ha. I just need to get the right foods in me! 😜
For muscle cramping...everything has to be in order especially also Magnesium and Calcium.
They inversely affect each other. Too much of one depletes the other.
Spinach : Steam or saute until tender .. drain off liquid if excessive .. Dress with butter, vinegar, salt and pepper to season.. sometimes a shake of red pepper flakes totally delish ! (do the same with beet greens ) chop a boiled egg and top the greens at service, for an added flavor boost a bit of crumbled bacon as well .. ( This is how we always had them when I was growing up so I learned early to love spinach and greens... Dad was a chef, this is how they fixed them for the high end menu )
Dude, excellent video and explanation. Thanks!
Potassium and Magnesium deficiency was definitely causing me to cramp (badly) Super useful info!
Great video!! Thanks, spinach and mushrooms fried in some butter, my new favorite!
Morgs88 fry it in coconut oil would be better
That would work well too ;)
Don't you lose the nutrients when you cook it?
+Trey Caldwell
The nutrients that are lost are a few of the vitamins and prebiotics. The minerals such as potassium stay the same.

Nu salt is potassium. Sold right next to the salt in the store. Put some in your lemon water or apple cider vinegar it’s tasteless.

Best way to get potassium into your body: cream of tartar. You can buy it in every supermarket.
Only use in small amounts. It can make you hit the toilet.
Ullimately - yes, easier for some people than trying to eat certain foods.
seeya205, you're right. Potassium deficiency is sometimes a cause for constipation. Potassium and magnesium help "clear out", interesting that they're both linked with muscle cramps when someone is deficient.
1/4 tsp in 1/4 cup of Orange or lemon juice.
Excellent info
Banana is not too high in sugar, thats an urban myth. It has a lower GI value than brown rice, and many others:
Banana = GI 48
Brown Rice = GI 50
Gatorade = GI 89
Baked Potato = GI 111
Source: Glycemic index and glycemic load for 100+ foods - Harvard Health (www.health.harvard.edu/diseases-and-conditions/glycemic_index_and_glycemic_load_for_100_foods)
Sugar has a GI of 60. Bananas aren't that far off and will spike insulin
You also have to take into account how ripe the bananas are. The more ripe it is the more fructose. Correct me if Im wrong. 🙏
seeya205, are you sure, medium GI scores are between 56 and 69. Low GI 55 or less.
You need to do more homework. Depending on how ripe the banana is, depends on how much sugar is in it. Green bananas have less sugar but more resistant starch meaning they cannot be digested properly.
The sugar amount gets more the older the banana gets! So, you are very very wrong!
welshdragon2008, I guess GI 48 goes for yellow bananas, who eats green or blackened bananas anyways. Bananas are still much healthier than whatever processed food. I see kids every day eating potato chips and drinking coke why? Because bananas are high GI?
thank you very much for such a direct information, i frequently follow your videos!
Dates very high in potassium
Naji Saed yes and they're even higher in sugar than bananas. did you not listen to the video?
bosyeux2
Yes i know but their suger intract with our dna its good..do your reseach..we live on dates for 2000 years..dates very healthy...or there are some not that sweet..called siqee...try it i think u find it in big supermarket
Naji Saed Fresh dates still on the stem they grow on, are not very sweet and are very tasty. Buy them in ethnic stores. Not always in season though.
Also high in sugar
Sugar is alright, as long as it is not processed sugar. People get it wrong whenever they think of sugar as bad in general.
what about using Nusalt?
Beans still are high in lectin which is not good
Boil them for a while and it'll remove most of the lectins.
You are clueless. Cook the beans and you eliminate the problem. lol
How do you digest them? They cause trapped gas for me.
@@hallelujah1236 you soak them in water for 24 h.change water 2-3 times.
Superb video. Loads of info
If you sauté spinach all the potassium boils away
crosswire7777 yes its better steamed and if u wanna sauté it ,do it for very quickly
Amira i think its the best to steam them for a minutes rather than boiling i just thought so
smith numa01 Yeah ,that's right,sorry I wanted to mean steam not boil
crosswire7777 best to just wilt it over some steaming hot rice you have alongside it.
xXBedaXx rice... Sugar! Its better not to eat sugar.
I have black beans frequently. I soak them for a day before having them. Is it still an issue?
maybe you loose some potassium in the water like when cooking potatoes. so why not also drink the water where you soak the beans in ?
Stefan Weilhartner Because that water is toxic. That's why we soak it in the first place, to get rid of the toxins.
ok, didn't know that. (don't have beans in my home made diet, maybe i should check out some dishes with beans)
+Anirban Mookherjee it's really important too. if you skip the soaking step, you can end up in the emergency room, i know this because a friend did this. he was in extreme pain. the er dr gave him a green liquid to flush out his system.
Soak the beans overnight, rinse, cook in water for a long time, rinse, season, eat.
You da man TD. Good stuff.
Hey Thomas, but beans are very high in carbs.
They're also very very very high in soluble fiber
Also acidic
But then there's "Beano"
and anti-nutrients.
@@Ellen_mcg, I love people who cook beans and soaking it.
THANK YOU THOMAS!
you forgot potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Leo Loner yes, a baked potato has more potassium than other foods. sweet potatoes have a lower amount of potassium, but still higher than others. though it is also a starch like bananas and is a carb. one baked potato will still give you more potassium though. helped me avoid those nasty large supplement pills during chemo! literally helped save my life.
that's inspiring to hear...I personally love potatoes! even when I was low-carbing to lose weight I still included one medium baked potato (or sweet potato) a day. It's very filling and rich in other nutrients too. It didn't stall my weight loss or anything, if anything it helped curbed my appetite and eliminated my cravings for other bad carbs. Also perfect as a pre or post work out snack combined with lean protein.
Leo Loner nothing like a baked potato. absolutely love potatoes myself. I've yet to find a potato I didn't like. I've never been on a weight loss diet. never needed to because I was always underweight and struggling to gain. now at my ideal weight I'm just struggling to maintain it among health issues. good luck
Leo Loner I also found a green smoothie with spinach and chard and some fruit for better taste is also helpful.
I've been at my ideal weight for years now, but it's a struggle to maintain for me as well, I have to watch what I put in my mouth. My brother who's been underweight all his life has recently gained some weight, funnily enough, just by eating clean (in his case, he was a junk food addict and has hyperthyroidism), we even eat the same foods now...no sugar, no processed carbs, mostly whole foods. Back to potatoes, I'm really into stuffed baked potatoes, one of my favorite foods ever, I stuff it with chicken, mushrooms, spinach, cheese,. Really yummy. The only other foods I must always have in my kitchen apart from potatoes are tomatoes (it's in everything I cook) and avocados...which I love in smoothies! Also high in potassium and a great source of healthy fats and antioxidants. Spinach is great too, but I get sick of it so easily, maybe I can try a green smoothie like you mentioned...dunk the greens into my blender with my avocados, and add some frozen cantaloupe for sweetness (yet another great source of potassium, it's got more potassium than bananas from what I've read). I don't know if you've ever tried avocado milkshake, but avocado + milk + honey + ice is a delicious blend, and high in calories, very nutrient dense, you can sub with coconut milk or almond milk too if you don't drink dairy...I would make it for my brother (and myself) all the time. Everytime his weight would start to drop, I get him to drink those between meals and it really helps.
I just sit around eating pumpkin pie filling and sardines in my 4 hour window.
Good fats are needed for a good working metabolism, good carbohydrates also. Tired of this constant condemnation of carbohydrates.
i think people are different in putting weight on (also depending on gut bacteria). and people are also different in winter compared to summer. so maybe winter is a good time for LCHF and summer is the time where your metabolism works different (cause of lots of good sun) and one can tolerate also high carb fruits. so for me there is no one fits all nutrition. i think it is wise to check the differences between people, time of the year and also age or other conditions (like diabetes).
good fats are definitly good for producing different hormones. i think the combination of high carbs and high fat could make a problem.
Carbs are best in the form of fiber rich leafy (NOT) starchy veggies. For diabetics carbs in any other form are evil
@@13gladiusToKnot If you want to stay diabetic that is good advice. Youu must increase complex carbs as well as beans and vegetables to cure T2D. LCHF will elminate the symptoms of diabetes but you are clinically worsening the effectiveness of insulin. ua-cam.com/video/CT8K6NcAigo/v-deo.htmlm30s
@@TB1M1 But you're a delusional misinformed fraud aren't you. Were did you get your credentials, from a cereal box no doubt. I halved my A1C. Insulin is reduced via fewer eating sessions. Insulin spikes due to [animal] protein is a good thing as it increases muscle size n energy (insulin pushes glycogen into cells). Potassium needs are reduced on a low carb high protein diet. Animal protein is superior to plant, you twit. My animal protein intake is low but higher than yours. Body can make glycogen from protein thus making carbs, complex or otherwise, totally unnecessary, you twit (although my carbs fluctuate high days n low and thi thanksgiving may kill me but still better than the average vegans sugar addicts diet). Your carb intake no doubt borders on the psychotic; what 500-1,000 a day, you psycho? Go blow your stupid crazy BS out your ass, fraud
@@TB1M1 And your link is to the asshole Nathan Pritikin, the no fat advocate who proved that the disease you don't die of today simply means you will die of another later on, you moron. If he'd have been on a mostly animal diet he might've lived longer, healthier.
You no doubt, like all delusional vegans, still believe The WHO's batshit crazy, cherry picked data, assaying red meat as carcinogenic, fool

Your videos are very informative Thomas, thank you.
No potatoes? 🤔
Very useful thanks.
Mmmm I love me Potassiium
Great Video keep up the great work.
Do you forget Dates? The best fruit that exist! Make a video about Dates!
Burim Aziri dates are not good for keto diet
Kip sharing ,thank you.
bananas i will stay to bananas
daniel floristeanu bananas are the worst source. Very high in sugar! Eat an avacado.
daniel floristeanu they are not the best source for potassium
I agree I will stick to bananas. History have proven that man knows nothing at all when it comes to what we shouldn't eat. Aka coconut oil, cholesterol, salt. Omg am so glad I never jumped on the "healthy" train. But I will add some of those other things if I like them to my diet also.
Lol thank you, I was searching for a comment like this. This year bananas are BAD BAD! Next year they change and bananas are GODLY! Lol, they did the same thing with eggs and coconut oil
@@newerax1009 Agree, every other year things go in and out of style....bananas will be bad in 2019 but in 2020 they will be good again so don't worry, but remember to watch out for 2021... (I guess you just have to catch it at the right time :)
