A keto diet is a higher satiety diet

Can a keto diet help you with improved satiety and decreased hunger? Yes! A keto diet, at least a well formulated keto diet, is also a higher satiety diet. Let's get into the details of why this is the case so you can decide if a keto diet is the right approach to improve your satiety.

Processed keto treats really can derail a well-formulated keto diet.

[@philais]

Yep. And it seems that if there is money to be made, the Corporatists in Big Food will boldly step in to cloud the nutrition tables with labels of Total Carbs vs Net Carbs, "KETO Friendly" labels and ultra-processed nutrition empty offerings....

[@patriciawalters6778]

In the absence of hard data regarding the metabolic effects of non-caloric sweeteners and ultra processed fiber there still remains the genuine question "are they truly ketogenic"? In many people they may not be.

[@cps_Zen_Run]

Stephanie, I agree if they become a daily portion of one’s diet. But far superior to the standard American junk food. When health becomes the priority, most will figure out what works best for them.

[@DrAJ_LatinAmerica]

@@patriciawalters6778 we do have hard data that proves they are not poison. The biggest part missing and difficult to study are the affects on the gut microbiome. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out in the next 30 years. So much we still don't know.

[@patriciawalters6778]

Well, sucrose isn't toxic either, in a small enough dose. The question is, do they actually facilitate appropriate dietary ketosis?

[@pointshealthcoaching8474]

Just my humble.... stick with animal based proteins/ fats as primary focus, stop chasing plants and you'll be satisfied and healthy....

[@cps_Zen_Run]

Points, I too find the natural pesticides and toxins in plants should be avoided. And encourage all to experiment to find what works best for them.

[@jessicajohnson4087]

I agree! We've evolved eating animal protein and our bodies know what to do with it. Buy the best you can afford. Be well 😊🙏

@@jessicajohnson4087 I have been on Keto for 5 years now. I do eat green veg..eggs..cheese meat fish etc. The body that they found in a bog thousands of years old last meal was grains which also was bread. So it is not strictly true that we did not eat fruit or grains. Ibviously fruit was seasonal and was not as sweet as today. Even the colour of fruit has changed. All to do with man messing with it.

[@jessicajohnson4087]

@@derryshore5586 Hi! Good point. No doubt humans ate other foods along the way. But as far as satiety, animal protein and fats have been there all along. The fact that there are no "essential" carbohydrates for humans tells us that we can survive without carbs but not without fatty acids and amino acids...both of which we get from meat. Dr. Scher did a video about how carbs are not "essential" for us for survival. Sure we can get benefits from a variety of plants and grains maybe but our genetic makeup doesn't require them. Interesting stuff for sure! 👍😊

I haven’t gotten hungry in 4 years. I eat right after my powerlifting workout like this morning for example; I had a whole chicken breast cooked in avocado oil and 2 eggs sunny side up. Later today I’ll have to remind myself to eat.

[@shirleyjohnson4280]

I been doing Keto for 14 days and found this to be true I stick to the Macros as close as possible and I never ate any process food I hope I can make eating healthy foods real foods not processed as a new way of life …Thank you

[@saltrock9642]

Ms. Johnson if I can do it you can too. Just keep it simple with green veggies and meats. No process food. They both can even be the bags of frozen ones, much cheaper. I keep my freezer loaded with them. And don’t shy away from a good ol’ hotdog weeny or two. Sardines are awesome too. I wish you the very best.

[@tippymb]

I started the keto diet a few weeks ago, watch D.r Westman as well. I was a bit skeptical going forward as I failed so many diets before and thought I will be hungry all the time. Essentially, all I did was stop eating the junk food and the food I was normally eating- green vegetables, meat, fish etc wasn’t a big change. I just didn’t like cooking. Anyway, a few days in, noticed my appetite had decreased, some periods of head hunger but generally ok. I started to lose weight within the first week and continue to do so. I have NASH related to fatty liver and had blood work done. My liver enzymes had dramatically decreased my lipid profile and cholesterol had improved and my Fibroscan showed a significant decrease in fatty liver. My hepatologist was really impressed and said keep doing what your doing. Thanks you for your videos, such a great learning tool. I eat only whole foods nothing packaged, no longer order from Skipthe Dishes and am saving a lot of money as well! I’ll use that money to buy new clothes. I’ve already lost 2 inches from my waist.

[@venom6827]

Thanks! Shared with my stubborn, suffering family :)

[@fredsmit3481]

Doc, I think you miss one huge point. First of all, a keto diet is not based on the food. A keto diet is based on the state of ketosis. If a person is in ketosis, then they are on a keto diet regardless of the food. That is the difference between a low carb diet and a keto diet. A keto diet produces ketones and ketosis. I think the point that you missed is that the state of ketosis causes satiety. Ketosis allows the body to more easily use fuel from the fat that is stored in the body. The reason for the high satiety is not due to the nutrition of the food that is eaten on the keto diet, but due to the metabolic change of ketosis which opens the door to allow the body to access the huge amount of fat stored in the body. Since the body now has access to a huge amount of calories via stored fat, there is less need to consume calories via food - thus higher satiety.

Show a picture of an average lunch dinner plate with keto food. I need a visual

[@ekondigg6751]

Confirmed with my own experience: When starting 5 years ago I realised that I was forcing myself to eat breakfast after a couple of months. So I thought "if I'm not hungry in the morning why bother forcing myself to eat?" So I stopped breakfast. Five years on, I'm still not interested in breakfast. Before, it was a big glass of orange juice and bowl of Müsli washed down with a mug of coffee well dosed with milk every day, plus pain au chocolat or pain au raisins on the weekend. Just not interested now.

Greatly enjoy your videos. I noticed on this video that you repeatedly pounded your table with your hands and the sound was quite noticeable and distracting. Thought you’d want to be aware of this so your message has the impact you desire.

[@heidiyamami3884]

Dr. I just watched an ad by Tony Horton, and he has a supplement called Power Life, or something like that, and the key ingredient is HMB. He went through a horrendous bout of shingles(in his ear and throat) and then he developed this thing. It's supposed to build muscle mass in older people. He says there's a study where people with hip replacement surgery had a awesome reaction to this supplement (not his). Could you look at the study and let us know if this would be good for older women? I'm not overweight so I wouldn't use it for that. Thank you.

[@frostfox1208]

This afternoon I have a 20 minute high intensity time trial on a rowing machine. First time doing something like this while in a keto state. In the past I would carb. load to prevent bonking. I wonder how the trial goes.

[@frostfox1208]

It will be about 1:15 minutes of warmup, trial, cooldown. I start in 2 hours. Can you tell I’m nervous? To be 64 yrs., taking up rowing, light weights and Keto at the same time has moved me into a new level of fitness. I like it.

[@MonkeyDAnis]

By far A BIG YES Im a huge eater, and if i eat carbs i eat goku-amounts of food. Not kidding, i easily eat 18-24 toast (1 toast= 2 slices, with cheese) in a carb omad Followed by sugary stuff etc Just one example. And im hungry soon afterwards With keto, i eat. Im satiated. No craving, no fake hunger. No artifical bloodsugar rollercoaster. I still eat huge, especially compared o others. But in relation or viewed by calories...i eat only a fraction of what i would eat on carbs And im staying lean on keto, and more importantly healthy

[@bobheatwole804]

I feel like Im too lean, my body mass is around 22.5, my waist size is 30 inch and Ive been on keto for over sixty days to control my blood sugar not lose weight. How do you put on a few extra pounds, like about 15 while on keto. I can't keep losing weight. I weight 2 pounds more than when I was in high school, Im 72 not 18. Is there a balance with a type 2 diabetic guy who's naturally lean.

[@bobheatwole804]

Thank you very much for your help. I started a low carb diet in the beginning of this past July to get control of my blood sugar, I was never "overweight". Most of my life I used weights to stay in shape. In 2005 I started riding a bike and a few years later I started using bands as well. Weights, bands and riding a bike and when I turned 57 I was told I had type two diabetes...for the past 15 years Ive been on metforman...no sucess, no real plan and no suggestions from my primary care except I could try more meds.. I had over those years a 7 to 9 A1c, my last one before the low carb was 9. The rest of the story is like most others on a low carb, great success however, Ididn't think I was going to lose weight, I weight 4 pounds more than I did at age 19 when I was drafted into the military.. My new objective is to gain a little more weight and your help is greatly appreciated. Im a little over 72 and maybe not as active as when I was 25 or 30 but Im far from throwing in the towel..

could you guys please do a video on Saturated fats vs unsaturated & polyunsaturared fats? I recently saw this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3OplmSHltmnd7c and it makes a strong point that reducing saturated fats seems to lower risk of disease. However, keto diets always point out to eat MORE saturared fats, right?

When I tried keto for 12 days, there was no hunger, lost 3 pounds, but felt bloated as usually I eat very little fat or meat. Any suggestions?

[@alexmorgan3435]

Why do you and lots of guys like you frame ketogenic diets in the context of losing weight? I don't want or need to lose weight as I am already lean and strong so don't want lose muscle mass but maintain muscle tone and strength. I don't need to fast. Each day I am doing exercise aerobic and anaerobic which probably burns around 3k calories.The there is the residual calories by body needs to function therefore just to break even I need to eat nearly 5k calories each day. I have done this by massively upping my protein intake and increased slightly eating healthy fats. I have even taken to eating a few carbs but still eat a low carb diet. I am not a fat sedentary slob which is unfortunately the target audience of most of these types of video. I guess you lot aren't interested in devising a diet suited to sporting people.

[@michaelcariello6233]

I know no one wants to hear this but caloric surpluses do not matter in the context of a keto or carnivore diet.

Solution? More protein more fibrous veggies and fruits. Not more fat. Think Mediterranean not more SF. SF is terrible for apoB and that is terrible for CVD progression.

I am guessing you mean saturated fat when you write SF? Well you don't need to eat SF but mono-unsaturated fats instead typically found in avocados, olive oil, oily fish, eggs. Fruits are full of sugar which raise insulin levels.

@@alexmorgan3435 sure MUFA and PUFA are great subs for SF and much better for apoB. Nah fruit also has plenty of fiber which is very healthy for apoB and literally has little impact to insulin. Think orange instead of OJ. You do know CIM is bullshit right?

[@DrAJ_LatinAmerica]

Guess your clinic has never worked with Keto athletes eating 5 times a day to get in all the 6,000 to 8,000 kcal a day. Doesn't matter if they are hungry or not, they have a required eating minimum to grow and get big. And high endurance athletes have to eat to keep on a normal amount of weight. On the flip side guess your clinic has never dealt with obese patients eating frozen sticks of butter like popsicles. It happens. It is critical to inform people keto is not a perfect cure all for everyone. Especially for those, generally ladies that don't like to eat meat everyday. Context critical. No one size fits all. Not everyone fits in the same box.

@@seanveach950 yes, awesome half stick. All things have limitations. Try 5 sticks a day. (Joke of course, please don't). However have seen it done, and they add salt and spices to make it more palatable. Or they have 5 coffees a day with MCT and heavy cream. Always amazed at this though that eating keto means no limits to some people. We know it is wrong. Limits to water consumption, limits to everything.

[@seanveach950]

@@DrAJ_LatinAmerica Yes, it can go too far. Gave up coffee and cream and added the butter because I am liking leaner cuts of meat most days. Almost done with diabetes and was curious to track fat to protein, which I have never done yet. Been at about 65% fat to 35% protein for about a week now and it is already working to take fat off the body. Eating more now too, which is helping. I am not high end athlete, but do a lot of hard work out in the sun all day long. Was just plain eating too little I think. Water is a weird one. I don't seem to need much anymore, but people still say drink quite a bit. Haven't really figured it out yet, but don't seem to dehydrate very easily.

[@DrAJ_LatinAmerica]

@@seanveach950 regarding water, if you are losing weight, in simple terms, as the body breakdown the fat, oxidize the fat, eventually the cells will release water. During this phase many don't feel thirsty

[@seanveach950]

@@DrAJ_LatinAmerica Funny thing though is that I did not loose weight to any great extent for almost two years. As soon as I got off of carbs I did not need a lot of water. I am not completely fat adapted yet though, close, but my fasting insulin is almost there. I am just now starting to work on the losing weight ( fat ) part, but even working toward fat adaption seems to work well for less water.
