I've read in many places that eating a whole large onion a day after several weeks will increase your testosterone. Would this not offset the amount of carbs in the onion? Have you heard of this as well

I'm doing the keto challenge which you had start with a 36 hour fast. Can you do a 16 hour fast everyday so from 2000-1200 and not effect your metoblic rate or do you still recommend 3-5 days on a 16 hour

[@sharonstone7037]

Anything that is man made and prepackaged is bad for your health. I think this keto diet in the short distance will help but in the long run you have to eat a colorful array of veggies. I do agree nightshade are bad for those who suffer with arthritis and autoimmune diseases. But cooked tomatoes and eggplant once in a while is good. I agree some veggies should be cooked to be beneficial

[@sharonstone7037]

The problem with keto is that there’s too much animal meats and I think those are all going to be a detrimental to our health moving forward in the long run. Especially eating bacon and beef and chicken I think vegetables are a lot better not so much animal products in meats and dairy cheese are horrendous on the body eating them in limited amounts far and few in between or the best way to go

[@alexanderpapaliovski8595]

1. Beets & Carrots 2. Parsnips (cooked) 3. Shallots (2x carbs compared to onions) 4. Sweet Potatoes 5. Lectin rich vegetables (tomatoes, nightshades, bell peppers) 6. Raw Spinach & raw chard 7. Oxalates rich foods (spinach, chard, rubharb)

How sad. I understand that keto is a completely different way of processing glucose but is it worth not eating what mother Earth gave us for good health? Fruits and vegetables are not to be given up or any new way of eating. I did keto for part of a year and lost weight on it. I understand that it works for awhile but it didn't sit well with me that for one thing... A lot of animals had to die in order for me to be on keto which also is horrible for the environment. The other thing that didn't sit well with me was that I knew in my heart I should not be bypassing fruits and vegetables. Today I am vegan and I am so relieved to understand good health from the vegan perspective. It fills me with joy. The keto diet could not have come at a worse time when our ecosystem is on the brink. You're an intelligent man, you must get bursts of insight that you are ignoring so that you can continue your keto diet. I think you should listen to your inner voice that's telling you you're missing out. God gave you an exceptionally beautiful brain.

Learning to combine keto with my specific blood type diet and I have noticed when I stay away from specific lectin foods that are sticky for my blood type it makes a huge difference! Everyone IS so different and we all would do well to take the wisdom and adapt for what works for us individually. It’s so great that Thomas puts stuff like this out there because though not a holy grail it’s very helpful to remember when there are soooo many choices of veggies which ones might not be the best choice- and truly tomatoes are actually more harmful to me than processed pancakes or keto snacks (as far as a direct inflammation and arthritic response) we all need to test and see what is best for us as an individual.

Before Keto, I thought I couldn't handle a lot of cruciferous veggies, but my stomach issue alleviated after starting keto. I can eat most anything, even cauliflower and broccoli but in moderation. Sometimes it seems our bodies can't handle certain things when in reality, it is how much we are eating of that particular thing. For example, a plate full of broccoli instead of a few stalks. When our stomachs are upset, it might not be because of a food intolerances but rather that too much of that food was consumed for the stomach to digest calmly. Just a thought and shared experience.

Carrots raw vs carrots cooked. Cooked or steamed carrots is a higher insulin spike than when the carrot is raw. Mainly because raw means the cells of the plant stay closed. Raw means less nutrition, but still a heap of fibre. For me, I just treat any vege's carb content as part of my daily limit. Sweet potatoes are awesome. I'm glad you said, keep the quantity low. I knew nothing about lectins. I love capsicum and tomato.

Thomas and Dr Berg often contradict each other. 🤔 Dr Berg says there's less carbs in shallots than in onions. 😳 This is jungle.

[@finagill]

I just looked online, a serving of red onions is 94 grams with 9.5g of carbs (1.3g is fiber) That should mean than you get 8.2g of carbs per 94 grams of red onion. A serving of shallots is 43 grams, has 7.1g of carbs (1.4g is fiber). So you get 6.7grams of carbs per 43 grams of shallot. That means that gram for gram shallots have more carbs. So yes, shallots have less carbs per serving but red onions have less carbs for the same of shallot.

I do however miss sweet potatoes. I've been keto for 3 years and still have 1 or 2 a year. I do use onion, tomatoes and peppers most everyday though and always will.

Do you roast the radishes?

No argument there, BUT the keto pancake isn’t supposed to be for people who would prefer the veggies but for those who can’t let go yet of their craving for pancakes. If one will eat pancake, then the keto pancake is the way to go at least until one can completely annihilate their desire for pancakes.

Being Sicilian and living South Texas cutting out tomatoes 🍅, peppers🌶, 🫑 is actually upsetting. I have raging autoimmune issues. And my AST and ALT levels are awful.

[@aswin5868]

Chapa you really don’t have to. All these people tell you to cut out everything in your life. Tomato’s peppers enjoy them if they are your staple and if your ancestors used to have them. Don’t completely stop any food, to think about and honestly how long can you survive without eating them for the rest of your life I think we should just be cautious of the food, eat whole foods enjoy once in a while and workout Just don’t eat packaged processed crap 😊

"I would rather you have veggies than processed junk" THANK YOU!!!! When I decided to return to a low carb/keto lifestyle I wanted to take a completely different approach this time. I knew I wanted meals/snacks to be more plant focused. This includes beets and carrots, especially if I am making my own beet/carrot/ginger juice. I could not find a reason, personally, to deny my body any veggie it may ask for from time to time, period.

[@stuomsen5094]

Good points, these internet junkies go way overboard. Anyone with a brain can understand that eating lower carbs and unprocessed food diets is the way to a healthy and enjoyable lifstyle. Most vegetables are good carbs. The mediterranean diet is still the most studied and agreed upon as the overall best diet for most people and demonstrates longevity. A healthy diet is one with healthy variety. I also find it very hypocrital when these so called diet guros like Thomas start plugging processed healthy snacks etc. They are getting paid by the companies and these foods are processed. Processed is processed period.

You made a good statement by saying cook it INTO something (in regards to lowering oxalates) by using oil. But if you eat the oil that you cooked it in are you still consuming oxalates or are they nullified?

[@jstreutker]

No. His point is that oxalates break down into harmless molecules. Although he didn't say it, the cooking temperature is likely the key. When you steam, you barely can cook at a temperature much higher than boiling (100 C). Oil cooking temperature gets things up to 140 C or higher.

[@rowanmulvey8632]

Higher cooking temp and the addition of fat breaks down the unwanted compounds. Remember when cooking spinach to add some acid (vinegar, lemon juice) or a dairy calcium source to boost absorbability of nutrients in spinach.

I do 3 months on low carb and two weeks off low carb. By "off low carb" what I usually do is make a big pot of vegetable soup. I put in everything....potatoes...tomatoes...green beans...peas....carrots....corn....ground beef etc....I eat two meals a day and fast 16/8 so I eat it as one meal over the course of several days. This is the source of my carbs for those two weeks. I don't eat bread or rice or pasta even off keto for those two weeks. I think its important for your body to be able to handle an occasional influx of carbs and I prefer that those carbs come from veggies.

[@tylermax631]

I got all hyped up on keto, super foods etc and i loved a mixed green salad daily. I had my blood work done and it came back great except uric acid which is an indicator of oxalates. So many super foods including even our beloved avocados have oxalates it seems. I had to cut, nut, sardines, spinach (along with some other greens) beet root powder, tea, cinnamon and turmeric. Now if you think Keto was a constricting diet try doing a low purines and oxalates in there to boot! Edit: The point of this is that extreme diets do take a lot of tweaking and everything in moderation.

[@andrewnicholson4020]

For the first 3 to 4 months on keto you will have increased uric acid no matter what you do but it will normalise after you are fat adapted.

WOW! Great content as always. I am not doing Keto but I can include some of the tips. I love raw spinach and tomatoes/peppers. Now I know to cook them when I do want them. Great stuff. My son is looking at a veggie diet. I am wondering what you think about this approach. I know a few folks that are strict veg eaters. What I have noticed is all of them are skinny/lean and most workout as well. They do appear healthy (skin tone, blood work, low LDL, etc.) but in my opinion you really need to know what you are doing on the protein front in regards to mixing certain foods to get a good amino acid spectrum. I had told my son to go ovo- veg so he can still eat eggs, which are a great source of protein. What are your thoughts Thomas? Thanks again for the science lesson. You are the GOAT!

[@jwoolman5]

Eating vegan isn't really rocket science. Just eat as much variety as you can afford. Plenty of protein in all those veg and legumes and grains and nuts and seeds and the body keeps the pool of amino acids from breaking down protein from any source for a few days. So no need to carefully combine plant foods to mimic the amino acid profile of something like egg in each meal. Anybody who tells you that is many decades out of date in nutritional science. The species would never have survived if the body was as stupid about it as some people assume. We are built for withstanding famines (so we won't die from delaying breakfast in intermittent fasting) and we are also built for living on plants. Just because we can manage to survive on animal foods doesn't mean we are obligate carnivores. All of our essential amino acids (which must be obtained from food) are abundant in plants and I'm sure our remote ancestors didn't carefully combine their plant foods..... 😸They also weren't taking B12 supplements - that vitamin is produced by soil bacteria, which is how the herbivores humans now eat for food get it into their meat. Our ancestors weren't scrubbing their veggies and so were ingesting B12 from soil microbes just as the cows do. We are fussier, so go ahead and use b12 supplements. But remember B12 is not actually from animals, just comes along for the ride if they get to graze naturally.
