I Quit Keto - Updated 2024

#keto #ketodiet #ketorecipes #ketolifestyle #ketocooking #ketoweightloss #ketolife #ketogenicdiet
Hi, my name is Sahil and I run Headbanger's Kitchen here on KZbin. I started out as a heavy metal cooking show which eventually somewhere down the line turned into me making Keto Diet recipe videos because I was on the diet. A huge spike in my viewership due to those videos inspired me and kept me going on my Keto journey. Over time though I realized it wasn't the diet for me as I found it unsustainable and restrictive. Since I did it purely for weight loss I preferred to move over to something more sustainable for myself. And that's why in 2019 I stopped doing Keto. I continued to make recipes for a while as my numbers and audience dwindled and finally when it made no difference what kind of video I uploaded I stopped making new Keto video recipes.
Now I am focusing more on just good food, delicious food and dishes that can fit into almost any diet. If you like the show, do stick around. If I'm not your cup of tea anymore that's ok. I thank you for watching my videos and wish you all the best.

Like many, I went off keto 2 years ago, gained back half the 50 pounds I lost on keto but more significantly, I became a borderline type 2 diabetic and a hardcore carb addict. I felt like crap. I'm back on track, in ketosis, feel great, and lost the weight I gained. Thank you for your huge contribution to the keto cooking space. We get your creative need to broaden your environment, and glad it's working for you. Wish I could but it doesn't work for me. Working out regularly now and never felt better. ROCK ON!

[@HoGraz]

Can I ask: how much protein were you consuming post ketosis?

[@ivarozan2118]

Just like you lose a ton of weight eating 20 or under net carbs a day, if you immediately go back into eating carbs like you were before you are going to notice weight gain, when you quit keto you should go off it slowly just like any restricted diet, you should also still avoid eating tons of sugar and carb filled breads, pastas, pizza and things like that unless you exercise heavily and can burn it off with no issues

[@julieloran3356]

I now carnjvore, reversed diabeties, znd my rheumatoid arthritis is onky half it was. , Carbs are bad, sorry

[@SomeGuy-xf9bc]

Keto or not, your cooking vids are the best. You have a knack for simplifying recipes and making delicious food.

[@andrewreyna5081]

I still eat a ketovore diet. this way of eating for me was never about a weightloss diet trend its about controlling blood sugars as I am diabetic. I am so grateful to you!! I loved watching your videos and still do. Rock On Sahil!! with love from Texas 🤠❤

[@zoebehave]

The irony is, I wasn't keto when I found your channel. It was just great recipes. We're keto now and it's doing great things for our health. It's probably not forever, although I think low carb will be. And even still, your recipes are amazing.

[@louisemcfarland]

It may not be a fashionable diet any more but keto is a big part of how I manage my fibromyalgia. I just bought your book and I love it. I'm very grateful for the wonderful archive of recipes you have left behind, and personally I love the heavy metal soundtrack. I still enjoy watching you even if I can't eat a lot of what you're cooking these days, just as I love watching other interesting creative people make things I don't plan to replicate myself. I hope you remain on KZbin, but I wish you a lot of success wherever your journey takes you.

[@HeadbangersKitchen]

thank you so much.

[@gabrieladeleon6299]

Exactly, I'm back on for long term for more than weight loss ...so many health benefits.

[@FrankieOver50]

It’s the only thing that really helps my fibro too

[@toniyoung5131]

It's an age thing for me, im 70. Up to the menopause I could eat anything and remain slim. 5 years into menopause my health was in decline. I was diagnosed T2D. Both my parents had T2D. I didn't want to have their later life problems. Keto was and is a lifesaver for me. I've tried increasing my carbs to 50 per day, my weight sped up to where I was before. Keto for me has improved my joint health, no more pain, no more drugs. I have a preference for the kind of food I ate as a child in the 1950s. That chimes with my Keto diet now. No pasta or rice, a wee slice of Sourdough bread with the occasional bowl of soup. I'm healthier and happier with my meat and two veg, occasional cold potato salad for resistant starch. I'm ket for life.

[@livingthedream923]

I still love watching your videos, whether I’m watching my carbs or I’m not. I’m not much of a cook but I find your personality absolutely delightful.

[@HeadbangersKitchen]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@babehc]

I still have your cookbook and still using a lot of your recipes until this day. I fell off keto bandwagon 2 years ago and it really didn’t help me at all. I binged on carbs like crazy and my health deteriorated. I recently started keto again and hopefully will be able to restore my health.

[@SimplyHuman186]

Every human being is born in ketosis. Its the proper metabolic state. You got this.

[@HeadbangersKitchen]

Fact: Babes are NOT in ketosis and are not eating keto during infancy if they are consuming breastmilk or standard infant formula. The only time that babies are maintained in ketosis is during a medically-supervised ketogenic feeding intervention, with special, prescription formula.

[@SimplyHuman186]

@HeadbangersKitchen my friend. There are some falsehoods you choose to believe. That's okay. But fact is babies do indeed utilize ketones . Every baby.

[@dbabini1]

@@SimplyHuman186@HeadbangersKitchen Funny I was just listening to metabolic scientist explaining ketones in babies. Look up Anthony Chaffee interviewing Ben Bikman - the hard science of your metabolism on keto, carnivore, and carbs - he gets to baby talk at minute 39:30 of that video.

[@SimplyHuman186]

@dbabini1 yes ben binkman is fantastic. Nice summary on " doctors to trust " youtube channel!

[@KetoSimple]

As a Keto content creator I'm here to say that I support Sahil, being a keto creator is difficult... He's always been supportive of me and my channel. I'm exploring the idea if keto is truly all or nothing... I don't think it is, I think metabolic flexibility should be a bigger focus than most in the Keto/carnivore space will acknowledge... Keep making great content Sahil, we'll keep watching!

[@KetoSimple]

I am one of those Keto lifetime advocates he mentions in the video... I can't do moderation, keto has given me my life back with being able to control my food intake... I understand that this is not the case for most people. If you can moderate that's awesome, if you can open a package of cookies and eat the serving size recommend for you and not blink and eat half the package then you are far more ahead of the game then I'll ever be... I think being able to explore oneself and discover your weaknesses and strengths and utilize those in your health journey and build the health journey around those, we'd be far healthier. That's what I've worked hard for over the 8+ years is working to mold Keto and how I eat around me, my strengths and my weaknesses!

[@texasgina]

Keto is the only thing that worked for me. But I can't sustain it longer than 6 months at a time. Then I cheat and eat rice or ice cream and chips

[@texasgina]

Atkins works too

[@KetoSimple]

@@texasgina I don't think it's an all or nothing thing... I look at it as consistency over perfection, I'm never going to be 100% but I'm still keto... I have planned "off keto" meals, I still consider myself keto... After 8 years I don't notice the lag of one meal or whatever... I think we become more metabolically flexible and can ease in and out of ketosis rather easy and fluid...

[@dana102083]

I have to say I started keto in 2018 and was insulin resistant since inside my.mother. Im so carb sensitive and was fat adapted. I believe humans need to go in and out of ketosis, store some fatnand burn it off. problem is most people dont moce their body or fast long periods to replicatenor eat a low.toxin dietmwith foods in same.form.as before. Body invasion of.pufa, Maltodextrin, msg and other excitable.compounds and processed.junk out body doesnt use well. Mamy sick.people cant thrive on any junk due to.a overresponse to food.products and additives. Im one of them. Seems as though 92% of north american adults are too based on a recent study Im a bit disappointed to be honest. I supported your music and switch to nonketo but this video makes it seem it was 100% about money and videos which gave me a bad taste. I'm certainly surprised by the tone I took from this video. It just feels like you wanted more money and a tax break tomgo out to eat.end if.story. Im super surprised you mentioned lean meat.. what did you learn about health of the body while doing keto and how does low fat remotely enter your thoughts!? Im.alsonsurprisedmto hearnyounwerenentering in and out of ketosis "alll.the time". Thats really not the intended layout and isn't super hard when the body is in a poor metabolic state. Not feeling well is a sign of metabolic inflexibility. In and out of ketosis is not sustainable, man. But mostly, DIABETES IS UNSUSTAINABLE. There is no moderation with product that shouldnt even be called food. For now im not unsubscribing but if I do im not announcing it. If thisnis truly thenstatenofnall.social media right now then its a sad world and makes me want to disengage from it.

[@davebarry1098]

I very much enjoy your channel. Not only are the keto recipes amazing (my curries are much improved) but also your sense of humour and attention to detail. Fully respect that your life has changed etc. I will remain a happy subscriber/watcher. Be well my friend.

[@Zazen777]

I respect everything you stated. I found your channel many years ago and found you interesting and entertaining. It had little to do with Keto, but I watched many of those videos too. Follow your passions, and best of luck to you on your journey.

[@stevekovacs6250]

I eat Keto because I have to. I'm T2D and it helps keep my glucose numbers low.

[@GrandmasGigHustle]

Same for me. Eating keto/carnivore is the best way to keep my blood sugar in check.

[@Cordelia-again]

Have you tried OMAD?

[@stevekovacs6250]

@@Cordelia-again not yet....next on my list. I'm currently intermittent fasting 16:8 daily.

[@carollizc]

I "relapsed" yesterday. I had fried chicken and worst of all, ice cream. I woke up, not feeling like death warmed over as I'd feared, but feeling pretty okay. Mind blowing! But i will go back to keto because it keeps my blood sugar at a level my doctor and i are pleased with. That was my reason for doing the keto diet in the first place. I was starting to feel completely out of control, however, and was really tired of just the same few things over and over. Your channel has helped, though, with your 3 ingredient meal videos. There are different things to eat now, and the variety and simplicity of the meals you've demonstrated are fun and appetising. So I subbed this morning, and will be watching as many recipes as I can in the future. Rock on, my friend, rock on. (Edited to take care of a whole bunch of typos.)

Very happy to hear from you Mr. Headbanger

[@HeadbangersKitchen]

Thank you kindly

[@ChristynO]

I’ve been keto since 2015. I love Indian food and thank you for all you gave the community. I’ve made many of your recipes. The hard part of Keto for me is that I have to cook all the time and need to plan. Eating in restaurants is a trial but doable. The lack of diabetes will keep me parked here. There isn’t one path for all. Best wishes for you on yours.

[@Ixodiusixi]

I am keto since 2016 got so much inspiration from your channel very much i am a cooking novice but i get what i need done very minimal. Probably have seen almost all your keto video's you could mark me down for make some more if you get the inspiration and feel good about it and i hope you keep on with your music.

[@lauraharmon6508]

I resonate with this video and I have watched many of your keto shows, but watched a couple of people close to me do the keto diet with poor results, especially when they quit keto. I was 50 lbs overweight and in the last 3 years, lost that weight by eating mostly healthy things, but walking away from my plate and coming back later to eat it. Then I found out my metabolism told me I ate enough and didn't need more. I just ate some food, stopping to let it digest, and discovered I didn't want more food. I didn't gain that weight fast so I reasoned I should lose it slowly. In 3 years I lost a little more than 50 lbs and I did not suffer! I feel great, am at the right weight and keeping my weight steady. I think you have awakened to your body's true needs and you look great.

[@shalalameowmeow3601]

your videos were very helpful the keto community misses you. I myself am very determined to be a keto lifer. with maybe some breaks for holidays.

[@KW-K985]

I love your personality and simple style of cooking.

[@HeadbangersKitchen]

Thank you so much 😊

[@jenenegreen4731]

I still watch your old keto videos. For me, there is no reason to quit keto because there's nothing I like to eat that is off limits to me. But you have more discerning taste in food than I do. Just a tuna casserole kind of Gramma. Still love you, though!

[@Charu-te7rj]

You became my motivation, and support to be sustaining on keto for long.. thank you

[@HeadbangersKitchen]

You can do it!

[@suekennedy883]

Thank you for the recipes and good luck with your future plans. I am still keto for quite a few reasons - it fits with being gluten free, it keeps me away from sugar and keeps me off bad oils, and thanks to the work done by so many keto channels like yours I've learnt to cook and bake in a way that keeps me healthy and happy. It's not a 'diet', it's just the way I live now. That doesn't mean I don't occasionally have something that's not keto - a piece of wedding cake or birthday cake, a glass of bubbly to celebrate, a bit of cake or biscuits baked by a friend - but in all honesty I don't need any of those things any more day to day. That's down to people like you making it so much easier for me, so I thank you for that.

[@HeadbangersKitchen]

my pleasure.

[@lindaJaeNicole]

The worst thing you can do is make any diet, your identity. It’s natural to try things, sometimes, it’s not going to work for the long haul. That’s okay! You have to do what works for you! If not, you end up with this(ruthless) cult following, that can and will try to ruin you, for changing. Keto/carnivore absolutely worked for me! But I’m not of the mindset of, “I eat to live” mentality. I love food! Taste, texture and diversity of cultural foods. I cannot be boxed in. Still following! Love your channel. Whatever diet you’re doing, good for you and best wishes! Change is good and okay! 💞 from Florida! ☀️

[@SethVermin]

Randomly thought of you and found this. I quit keto a year or so ago and am just trying to focus on high protein. A lot of foods I like technically do fall under keto but I don't restrict carbs. Respect for all you do, I love food in general so I'll be around :)

I could not sustain keto for more than a couple of months when I first tried it back in 2018. But last year I discovered carnivore and it has opened my eyes and helped me understand the secret to unlocking my metabolism. Now I'm carnivore for life. But I always remember that cool headbanger keto dude. Good to hear you're thriving and broke free from whatever chains were on you. Rock n roll and keep kicking ass!

[@HeadbangersKitchen]

thank you! glad you found what works for you as well.

[@catladytrucker7608]

I lost weight on keto, but it didn't heal me. Despite losing 86 lbs, I was still requiring 3 blood pressure meds, still had 2 autoimmune diseases, still had leaky gut, and still had histamine reactions to most foods. Now I am Carnivore and I am doing so much better! Once I am fully healed, I will be reincorporating a small amount of certain vegetables (Ketovore).

[@HeadbangersKitchen]

oh that's crazy!

I miss the good old days of keto. But the good things can't last forever. It was a hell of a ride and I lost almost 20kg on keto. before it peaked and then began to go backwards. It was still well worth it, and Headbanger your videos helped make it happen, and I thank you!

[@Antaios632]

I started watching your channel because I was diagnosed as diabetic in 2017. Keto was useful to me because it was the only way at the time to control my blood sugar. Of course, I was also on several medications and going to the gym, but they weren't doing the job. It turned out several years later that I was a type 1 diabetic with a very slow onset (as is typical when you get it as an adult) and needed to quit all the type 2 diabetes drugs and start using insulin. This made a huge difference to my blood sugar and my health, and I found that I could eat carbs within reason and still have good control over my blood sugar. I still think keto was very helpful to me and can be for others - in fact I still make some keto meals, just not as an overall diet.

[@dqan7372]

Still diabetic but never dove into keto, just low(ish) carb in moderation. I enjoy watching various cooking shows. I don't cook any of it myself, so nutritional content doesn't matter much. I'm content to watch someone else enjoy it. I hope you find your ideal audience this year to make it more worthwhile.

[@neovalkyrie0]

I lost a lot of weight with keto but you are right it’s very restrictive. Had to give it up because I started to develop allergies. I think it’s fine to adapt some aspects of the diet and try to be more active with exercise to help with weight loss. Will always appreciate your recipes!

[@HeadbangersKitchen]

Absolutely. Got to do what works for you, keep the good parts.

[@familiasantos7992]

I no longer do keto, I love animal based diet. It's healed my digestion

[@warwickshirewolfpack]

I stopped keto a few years ago but still eat lower carb food. I'm wondering if you could promote some low carb recipes for diabetics. Many people I know have type 2 diabetes and need to cut down on carbs

[@plantluver]

I am miserable if I don’t stay on keto. Constantly bloated, joints ache, no energy, weight gain. For me it is a lifetime way of life. I do allow myself a carb day 1 day a month where I go over my carb limit. Usually when I attend a family function or a girls day out with friends.

Thanks Sahil for being so honest . My partner and I follow your recipes. I am on keto since 2017. High fat, high protein keto is unsustainable and has cardiac risks. We follow a low fat, high fiber keto diet. Ever since we started I find it hard to eat carbs, there's bloating and joint pains and a sense of doom. I guess keto is a way of life now.

[@janelane1380]

Thanks for being so real about quitting keto. I also quit around the same time because i also found it too restrictive. Stressing over my meals being keto and going out to eat and it always being a hassle to make sure i can eat keto wherever I go and not being able to enjoy things everyone else have made me feel like crap. I've gained weight which I'm trying to work on but life's too short to give up carbs. I also didn't like how cultish it became with some content creators demonizing fruit and certain vegetables like it's the food of the devil lmao.

[@HeadbangersKitchen]

yeah it's just become a madhouse!

[@ukrockhit]

People get upset when you switch your niche. Like I follow a lot of art channels and when an artist changes their style they usually lose a lot of followers because the audience is used to one particular type of content. It makes sense. It would be like a company that made guitars suddenly start making kitchen appliances.

Late for the keto train, just 11 weeks in Thanks for the videos from germany, love some indian food videos even trough i wont taste them for at least 2 years ^^

[@HeadbangersKitchen]

[@ChinazaOkekeh]

Powerful speech. Thank you. Keto diet or not.. you're doing great. I'm not against those doing keto diet. I just feel people do keto diet because they gained weight and they need to cut out and be strict til they become pregnant (women) then they may cut the keto diet. I'm not a keto diet person.. I eat whatever i want to as I feel like and do my water therapy, sleep well routine and do my walking routines. I also love veggies too.. and do my intermittent fasting. I just feel keto diets can be done twice a week and rest can be cheats.. as long as you're cautious of what you put in your mouth. Sugar is good but it shouldn't be always and almost every minute and everyday. Desserts can be served after meal and not in the morning time in an empty stomach. However let everyone do what works for him or her.

[@tpcdelisle]

Sahil, I found your channel about 4 years ago when learning about keto. I would guess that 95% of people who live on any kind of diet float in and out of it for many reasons, though they may claim not to. That's ok. It's everyone's personal journey. I do the same between keto and carnivore, but I'm not perfect either. My son has a growing carnivore/keto channel (Chris Cooking Nashville) and is actually a country artist, performer and teacher in Nashville, Tennessee. I understand the work that it takes to run a KZbin channel and you do a great job. Last, my wife and I are real foodies and cook dishes from all over the world. We try to adapt them to being Keto or Ketovore the best we can because we enjoy spices and herbs that don't bother us. We love Indian dishes and are really enjoying your tour around India along with all of your great past content. Keep up the great work that is appreciated by us and so many others. 😋🤟👍

[@HeadbangersKitchen]

I am on the fence being extremely low card. I am losing weight on a slow pace but thats OK - I am enoying my food but have completely removed sugar and flour.

[@michaels2208]

Not sure if this will get seen, but here is my experience. I've done keto before and i lost weight. The biggest thing keto did was lower my caloric intake. I was able to introduce other real did options, like some fruits. I find it easier to keep the amount of food easier when i do it that way. I'm also happier eating a lot less. I had back surgery two months ago so I'm not doing well with my food. But this worked for me using keto as a tool, not a lifestyle.

[@HeadbangersKitchen]

[@mjgrom1050]

Keto is too restrictive. I love your food and recipes and will continue to use them whatever channel you are on.

[@dana102083]

Its restrictive because people are carb addicts and insulin resistant amd eat.like.crap. Mamy people dont have any consideration for what their body needs for health. If the body doesnt have periods of fasting to obtain food as.we.had prehistorically, then periods of.ketosis are a must.to replicate that. Eating all.the time is a shame and based on marketing strategies and emotions, not on need. The adult obesity and diabetes, among.other metabolic based illnesses show how disgusting people eat. If your hga1c is 5.6 or higher theres a problem.

[@jlchausse909]

It’s a good idea to lower carbs and stay away from sugar but keto itself is way too restrictive

[@DraconiInfernalus]

people need to understand that we are not identical clones of humans. when keto works for people it doesn´t for others. everyone needs to find out what works best for themselves and is doable at a daily basis. i lost weight with low carb in one summer. nearly 8 kilos,great. but it broke down during winter with different food cravings the body wants/needs,fresh food thats available or not in the store. then my bad habits taking control again and depression isn´t helping too with "overeating" or eating in general as coping mechanism. i try to make healthier desicions in what i eat but not as often as is wish. need to stick to it anyway and cook healthier without scolding myself too much for it.

[@marylou3995]

It’s a good way of eating- but to stay on it 100% it’s a bit hard for me - my star sigh is Taurus the bull - so that’s me smack all day -

[@michaellane4762]

I am not "keto" any more, but for me , I found that sugar is what makes me feel like crap. I keep sugar to a minimum. I have gone back to my roots. When I was young... back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth, most of the foods we ate were whole foods. Meats that would be cooked, veggies that were prepped and cooked and a meal was born. I have found that I feel better eating that way and I am happier. Like you said, all things in moderation that is the key. Oh, BTW, I am glad I watched till the end of your video, I love your music!! You guys rock!! Mike from Mass.

It's all about calories and what diet is sustainable. You'll gain weight on any diet if you eat too many calories. The only diet that's ever really worked for me is omad one meal a day. Because I just find it way too easy to overeat and I don't really have as much time to do exercise like I used to. I still get like 10,000 steps a day but it's not enough. Most foods are just really high in calories and if you snack in between meals the calories add up. So I just find it easier to maintain my weight eating once a day. But I love food. That's why I was like overweight in the past but I think it was like a mental thing. I would just binge all the time because like I'm stress and anxiety disorders.

@@SimplyHuman186 I know everything about calories. I know certain foods that are healthy like protein will make you lose weight because the thermic affect the food. If you eat empty calories like chips, you'll gain more weight from the chips because they'll make you feel less hungry and you'll eat more of them. But I've tried most diets. Keto carnivore and when I ate the same amount of calories I would gain or lose the same amount of weight. The reason that some people find keto or other diets better is because they don't feel hungry because those needs don't trigger them to overeat. If you eat a lot of junk food, it won't make you feel full and you'll want to eat 20 minutes later. But if you can control your cravings and don't overeat, you won't gain weight on whatever diet you do

1000 calories of carbs VS 1000 calories of fat and protein vs 1000 calories of nuclear waste. You should be able to understand the vast difference in these. Obviously it's not only about calories. It's what form of calories and what that will do to Your body. 1000 calories of carbohydrate will In fact spike blood sugar in turn spiking insulin signaling to store this fuel. You'll then be hungry as the fuel is being stored not used ( unless you do some intense exercise to quickly rid of the excess) so you'll be hungry with out access to ketones.

That's fine man your choice. Every human is born in ketosis and if we look at humans evolving it's our primary metabolic state. So it's the best for humans but carbs are addicting.

[@HeadbangersKitchen]

Fact: Babes are NOT in ketosis and are not eating keto during infancy if they are consuming breastmilk or standard infant formula. The only time that babies are maintained in ketosis is during a medically-supervised ketogenic feeding intervention, with special, prescription formula.

Abstract In the past 2 million years, the hominid lineage leading to modern humans evolved significantly larger and more sophisticated brains than other primates. We propose that the modern human brain was a product of having first evolved fat babies. Hence, the fattest (infants) became, mentally, the fittest adults. Human babies have brains and body fat each contributing to 11-14% of body weight, a situation which appears to be unique amongst terrestrial animals. Body fat in human babies provides three forms of insurance for brain development that are not available to other land-based species: (1) a large fuel store in the form of fatty acids in triglycerides; (2) the fatty acid precursors to ketone bodies which are key substrates for brain lipid synthesis; and (3) a store of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly docosahexaenoic acid, needed for normal brain development. The triple combination of high fuel demands, inability to import cholesterol or saturated fatty acids, and dependence on docosahexaenoic acid puts the mammalian brain in a uniquely difficult situation compared with other organs and makes its expansion in early humans all the more remarkable. We believe that fresh- and salt-water shorelines provided a uniquely rich, abundant and accessible food supply, and the only viable environment for evolving both body fat and larger brains in human infants.

that's actually false and debunked.

[@ginch6448]

It will be a great loss if you decide to not post yourself cooking a meal or snack. Those that are doing keto can substitute where needed. There are many out there , like me, that are gluten sensitive...so few if any carbs in the diet. I enjoyed watching you cook and listening to the different ingredients that you used. Take a break from us if that helps, but don't go away forever.

[@HeadbangersKitchen]

Thank you so much! I've taken plenty of breaks over the years. Right now I'm still churning out the recipes. Most of them can fall in the Keto/Low Carb space anyway and in the few that don't there are easy substitutes. Thank you for your kind words and for watching the videos.

[@GloryCarrier22]

@@jeannievail because Sahil stated he was going back to the debunked nonsense of “calories in, calories out, and “eat less move more”, which simply doesn’t work in the long term, and as an influencer he’s dissing keto as a fad, which it certainly is not! I would urge you and him to do a bit or a lot more research into why keto, and the sub set of keto, carnivore are so much better as a PHD (Proper Human Diet) than anything else; CONSUMED carbohydrate (AKA sugars) are dangerous, since they are extremely addictive, they get burnt first before any fat you consume leaving the fat to be stored as visceral fat on your organs, leading to liver and kidney problems later on, regardless of your weight! If keto was just an option to lose weight I’d understand you trying something else, but it’s NOT. It’s protecting you from chronic ill health later on in life, there are plenty of case studies of people who are very active exercise wise but who’ve suddenly become diabetic or got heart disease or other such chronic diseases, all caused by a poor, sugar loaded diet

[@jeannievail]

@@GloryCarrier22 I know how it works, I was basically raised on Atkins and Keto most of my life, thanks, and I have been on carnivore every January for years. I disagree with your assessment about Sahil. He’s not misleading his viewers. He’s correct about keto being a very all or nothing diet. He specifically said he wasn’t trying to discourage anyone from eating keto and even reminded people that he still provides over 400 keto recipes on his channel. He also mentioned that there are still loads of keto products available in grocery stores. It’s just the keto recipe channels that have taken a hit. Sahil is just doing his own thing, trying to keep his content appealing and not telling anyone what to do or not do.

[@jescollo]

I did keto around 5 years and I had a lot of success and learned a lot about being strict and committed to a diet. I’ve stopped keto and applied that same strict committed attitude towards my diet and have just as much if not more success off keto. I can’t even describe how much happier I am off keto.

[@retro-jw9ms]

So you basically did keto for the views? That's not for the right reason. I'm still on keto but I don't do it for the views or income but because I feel good on it.

[@HeadbangersKitchen]

No, I did Keto because I was on the Keto diet. While I was on the diet my videos got watched, I built and audience and making videos became my job. Eventually I stopped Keto and that's why I started making other videos. But since I had a Keto audience I did continue to make some Keto videos for as long as I could for that audience. Also just an FYI all your Keto recipe creators and websites need views from people to stay afloat and make a living so they can give you more of what you want. I chose to not stick to Keto just for the views or the money. I made Keto videos because my audience wanted them. When it stopped making sense for me I stopped.

[@retro-jw9ms]

haha and fair enough I'm happy for you and anyone else Keto works for. You always have nothing but good luck and love from me. I learnt how to moderate my pizza and ice cream intake.
