11 Tips For Eating Low Carb and Keto in Disney World!

[@HealthWealthRelationships700]

Whoever on your team came up with this topic...THANK YOU. There are a lot of type 2 diabetics who rely on low carb food rather than medicine, to keep their blood sugar in check.

[@lisemarielichtermann7626]

Amen! I'm type 2 and trying to control sugars is hard sometimes, plus I'm GF(Celiac Did) so that is a challenge.

[@vincelamb4063]

I second your emotion. I'm a Type 1 diabetic and have to restrict my carb intake as well.

[@kayrobinett4570]

My husband is type 2 diabetic, and I would love to see them do a video specifically for diabetics.

AJ, just finished my first totally keto Thanksgiving dinner and saw this! Going to Disney next week for 10 days and was desperate for something like this. Started keto in March and I have lost 87 pounds and my health has never been better. I am sure I will enjoy this trip even more because I am keto. Keep up the great content.

I’ve visited Disney twice on a Keto diet and all cast members were more than happy to help,even had the chef at Ohana come out to tell me the special food he’d prepared

[@SirBlackReeds]

Is that a good idea? Isn't that a lousy diet?

[@shaniathemen]

@@SirBlackReeds no it isn’t. My mom is on the Keri diet for a year and she is super healthy and lost so much weight. The gym made her buff but keto made her slim.

[@lizisasleep]

@@SirBlackReeds You don’t need to comment like this every time you see someone mentioning their diet. I’m not into keto or special diets generally but how is it any of my business or yours if someone else chooses to eat a certain way?

[@C.Medina]

@@SirBlackReeds it's not a diet is a lifestyle way of eating. You know what is a lousy diet? The onev that drive to have diabetes, obesity, fatty liver when you don't even drink alcohol, sleep apnea etc. 30+ years of a high carb fad diets? How that working out for 50٪ of the people so far?

[@gyro4131]

@@SirBlackReeds I guess it wouldn't hurt to splurge on a Disney trip, like this one time I was on a diet but I ate like a pig at disney.

[@kristanewcomer2741]

@@SirBlackReeds it was highly recommended by my physician and modern research shows the diet to be extremely beneficial for certain illnesses. It is often a cure for some seizure disorders, treat or cure diabetes, used as a treatement alzheimers, Parkinsons, PSOC, and many more. As more research comes out they are finding to have many health benefits. There are way too many misunderstandings of the diet and too many medical professionals that are not open to the new research. Any diet that can reverse type 2 diabetes, treat certain types of cancer and several other disorders show a lot of promise. I have followed a low carb keto based diet for many years. I'm much healthier now in my late 30s than I ever was in my early 20s. I truly hope more medical professionals get on board.

[@CritterKeeper01]

Hanskah Not anymore. Carbs trigger hyperglycemia and/or insulin surges in diabetics, leading to more side effects. Polycystic ovarian syndrome involves insulin resistance, so low-carb can help reduce symptoms there, too. Neoplastic cells feed off of glucose much more easily than ketones, while the rest of the body can make that switch more easily, so ketogenic diets may slow some cancers. The right diet can reduce seizures, too. It's *not* a panacea by any means, but for certain conditions and for people who can stick to them, low-carb ketogenic diets are proving quite effective.

[@michealwilliams472]

@@SirBlackReeds No. It's not shunned. They just don't want you doing it without some type of medical supervision or checkups, because, like many diets, it can have adverse effects if it isn't done correctly.

Came home from a WDW trip in May of 2018..weighing about 205 pounds. The sweet wife said "we have to go on a diet".... Somehow we decided Keto, not knowing anything about it. Found a Doctor from Tennessee on KZbin. His videos taught us everything we needed to know. Went back to WDW the day after Thanksgiving 2018 weighing 155 pounds. It's absolutely possible to Keto at WDW, at least to a point. "Dirty Keto". But it's all about "just doing the best you can" while also enjoying all that WDW has to offer. Breakfast is a key when on property. Also, don't rule out an Uber ride out to a local steakhouse. There's a Texas Roadhouse not too far from Animal Kingdom....the money you expend on a round-trip ride is well spent when it's time for meat to eat. You will still save over $50 compared to getting comparable steaks in the Parks. Some places in DS have 16 or 20 ounce cans of Truly.... if that's up your alley. I think we found them at Paradiso 37 and a few other spots. Keto on!

[@princessjen99]

High five to you and your wife!

[@jillmarie4155]

Yeah! Thank you so much! Finally a video on eating keto at Disney World..... last time I was there I fell off the keto wagon and then struggled to get back on....... can't wait to see the list to show up on your website.....

I have been doing keto for 4 years off and on and I can spot a someone "trying" to do a keto video and someone doing a LEGIT keto video. THIS IS LEGIT. I don't know if you have ever done keto , but you know your stuff!

[@heatherhedrick3856]

I eat keto, and it wasn’t easy when I was in WDW last weekend, but it was possible. I did a bunless bacon burger at Regal Eagle Smokehouse in Epcot on Day 1. Day 2 at Animal Kingdom had the teriyaki chicken salad at the Yak & Yeti Cafe and then at Satu’li I did the combination entree over greens. Great video! Good luck to my fellow ketoers out there. (P.S. For anything I wanted to taste but knew I could not indulge, I convinced my husband to buy and snuck a bite. 😜

[@ifoundmyavalon]

Disney is very good about swapping food items. At garden grill we asked them to bring us the meal without the ham, not expecting them to bring us extra helpings of turkey instead.

[@gigic4094]

4th HAPPY THANKSGIVING AJ AND YOU VIDEOS ARE AMAZING!!!!!

[@richardmercer2337]

I don't think there is any major tourist destination that is more supportive of special diets. At table service places just ask your server if you can't find what you want/need on the menu. Even counter service places may be able to help.

[@CrystalSanchez094]

the thing my mom does for me for anything burger related is to ask for the burger to be lettuce wrapped basically the burger is wrapped in Lettuce and not on a bun, while sure eating this way can get a bit messy but it's worth it

[@breanna34]

I have found that Universal is much more accommodating when substituting sides, ingredients, etc. A chef will come out to talk to you and help customize your meal. Many Disney quick service locations cannot accommodate a side salad for example.

[@shinysparkilylights]

i asked for a grilled chicken sandwich without the bun last time i was at disney & it was like i was committing a crime “oh, no bun? is this a dietary thing or?”..... it’s a ‘i just don’t want the frickin bun!!’ thing.... was my first time ordering special and not just tossing what i didn’t plan on using/eating.... idk if i’d do it again it made me so anxious and annoyed.

We started keto back in June but on a break with Christmas coming up, but in New year we hoping to go back on it, so glad disney world florida is going to bring keto into parks fjngers crossed as we hoping to go next Sept, but last time we were in disney 2018 we struggled to find keto around the parks or at the disney resorts they need to start giving more of a variety specially in parks & in disney resorts

My partner was diagnosed as a late type 1 diabetic this past year and it infuriates me that Disney does not share their nutritional information. It is so important beyond people wanting to live a keto lifestyle for health purposes. My partner needs to dose his insulin based on these carb counts. I do not understand how they can have the DAS pass as well as providing allergy warnings and gluten free options but they have zero accommodations for people who are diabetic and using insulin.

[@HollyMarieL]

I absolutely love that you showed this. I’m diabetic and my medication can unfortunately get me so sick. After eating lots of different foods. I’m so surprised to see such an arrangement of healthy low carb dishes. I’m excited to go back now

Could you do a full gluten free food video. My mom has celiac disease so she can’t eat anything with gluten it. When we went to Disney every one working at the restaurants we ate at were so nice, and told us about the ingredients in everything, so that she knew what was safe! I would love to know what other options there are, because I tend to eat things that are gluten free just because they are normally in our kitchen and I honestly feel healthier for it. And I think that those servers and chefs deserve so much praise for their work. They really made our trip magical!

Go in assuming that there are no kosher places in Disney. It’s possible the Moroccan pavilion in Epcot has kosher items but I don’t think so.
