Keto Diet vs. Atkins Diet: What are the Differences? Thomas DeLauer

[@jackiewatsonfitness3695]

I was diagnosed with Stage 3C Triple Negative Breast Cancer in August 2015. It had spread to 18 lymph nodes. My Oncologist recommended a Healthy Keto diet, with IF, to me. I did 20 weeks chemo, surgery and radiation. I also have been doing keto with IF. As of last February, I am No Evidence of Disease. I know that it isn't just because of the keto/IF, but I do think it is contributing to the whole picture.

[@MG-yp3qq]

Jackie Watson Fitness Wow congrats! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@anasshaikh7007]

Congrats :)

[@matt281075]

Nice to hear well done

[@wmartonejr]

More oncologist and other related healthcare professionals need to step outside the standard of care when I comes to treating cancer, specially the dietary side. Good for you, we share your story with as many as possible as there are others who are being diagnosed have no idea as to the benefits of IF & Keto in conjunction with chemo & radiation

[@calamitynatalie8590]

This is fantastic! I'm sure keto and IF is not the answer but I'm also sure it helped you body simply by being anti inflammatory! Do you think it helped how you felt during your treatment?

[@NYtalk60]

I am 66 yrs. I honestly don't fully understand keto, but I did do IF and lost 20 pounds. I've reached a plateau, mainly because I have to start exercising more. I slowed down for a bit. Thank you Thomas. I have learned alot from watching you.

[@SaucerJess]

I had a brain aneurysm rupture in November of 2015. The doctors told me I wouldn't experience any additional recovery after 2 years. I started a strict ketogenic diet in January of this year. I haven't had this much clarity since November of 2015. I want to do this forever 💙

[@thomaskeets3194]

SaucerJess, a ketogenic diet is extremely healthy and healing for any brain related issues

[@Ironclad6661]

In addition, you won't ever get Alzheimer's, Parkinsons or Dementia most likely. This diet is the shit, if you add IF to it DOUBLES the benefits. I agree it's what I am going to do forever.

[@NaeNae23]

Atkins is the Alpha Keto is the Beta version. If it wasn't for Dr Atkins the low carb concept would not have been so well publicised. I'm sure the Gamma will be out soon...

[@VibeWithVida]

This is true. I'm starting to figure this out. Atkins is less complicated as well and honestly, maintenance of weight loss on KETO involves centering your diet around PROTEIN, just like ATKINS. This Gluconeogenesis doesn't happen easily at all. Thanks 👆

[@stevehughes275]

Atkins was the low carb king

[@stevehughes275]

@ true but it was for a different reason. Dr Atkins took a lot of ridicule and abuse but had the science behind him

[@taz9234]

My body was at its best on Atkins and very simple to follow.

[@aprillondon2711]

for me doing atkins was very effective in weightloss to be honest about a lb a day. i think the reason i feel like i should go back to atkins is because its simple keep my carbs under 20 lean protien and veggies thats if u want it a simple as possiable. the keto diet seems like alot of couinting they want you to test urself . what i was planning was go back to atkins incorporate ACV in water before each meal and also a 16/8 fasting time table in hopes for even better results. i even found even if i cheated half the times on carbs the 1st time i tried the diet i still lost weight i believe because i was still reducing my carb intake by half compared to before . now im able to stay the course . I allow a cheat meal here and there only after the 1st 2 wks of induction not before i find allowing myself this keeps me from derailing . i honestly think i would get fustrated with the counting and aspects of keto . let me know what you think.

[@anastasiaRNBSN]

I do agree with you, April. I did keto years back and it left a bad taste in my mouth. I started Atkins 20, which is very similar to the keto diet of only consuming 20g carbs. I felt that when I was on the keto diet, I was constantly calculating the macros and still felt very restricted, which I did not like and can’t stick to it. I did the Dukan diet before which I stuck with for a few months and it was very similar to the Atkins diet. With that diet, I was also in Ketosis. I combined all three and just stuck to eating low carbs and ate protein mainly and not being too strict on how much fat or protein I’m consuming. I’m still losing a lb each day. And I finally feel that I might be able to be on this diet as a lifestyle

[@junelledembroski9183]

I need something. Nothing has worked for me. I’m 5’ 230lbs. It’s hard to breathe, my body stops sweating within a few minutes of exercise, exercise makes me need so much sleep, I need to try something else. I had prescription weight loss. Was eating 3 salads per day, and a total of 1300 calories. My Dr said I was starving to death so I went up to 1600 calories per day and lost some weight, now I’m eating too many calories and can’t move even with low carb high protein. Something’s gotta give. I think going bulimic in my 20’s screwed me up for now, in my 40’s, diabetic, high cholesterol, high salt, low protein, smoking, and depression. It’s so hard. I stayed on a diet and exercise program designed for me for 8 months and I gave up after no weight loss. I felt stronger and healthier but no fat was coming off. Then I got Covid and couldn’t eat at all. Food with no taste is just texture and all the textures are disgusting. When I got my taste back everything tasted like bleach smelled before Covid. Bleach smells different to me now. And foods I liked are gross to me now. But I keep eating everything to see some semblance of normalcy.

[@jackmurray4021]

I’ve been doing the ketogenic diet for around 7months now and can’t be happier not only I’m doing it to lose weight but also it’s really helping with my epilepsy

[@paull4968]

I stated Keto/IF 6 weeks ago because I needed a change. I am down 34 lbs already and maintaining 2-3 lb per week loss. I think people tuning in for the first time need a direction and there is a lot out there. Dr Berg was a good start but then I started looking around at you and a few others out there. In order to get more people to start they need to start at the beginning at the keto and intermittent fasting videos. Then the rest of the video catalogue will make sense. You and Dr Berg do a great job when I researched videos when I got started. I am now down this road for the rest of my life. This was a game changing moment that I try to get others involved to understand. So thank you

[@paull4968]

And another week and 4 more pounds. It works. I walk 5 miles 5 days a week. Eat 1 to 2 meals a day and have one spinach protein mct oil shake.

[@jamesbizs]

paul l 34lbs in 6 weeks is STARVATION, not Keto/IF. No way you can eat enough and lost that much weight so quick. Not healthy to do.

[@SiimLand]

The idea is to do FASTING and swap in between eating and not eating. There are many benefits untapped by just eating keto, which is why you need to fast as well

So informative! I really appreciate the science behind ketosis, I am 33lbs down (husband is 83lbs down!!) since January 3rd 2018. We came across your videos around Christmas and were at our highest weights and lowest self esteems! We had no idea what the heck "KETO" even was and your knowledge empowered us to try something new and BOY is it affective!! Thank you for these amazing videos and such a comprehensive overview of how it all works. Big fans!

[@beingfree7551]

CeramicHeart how did you start? Which vids are most helpful for beginners?

[@ColiePoo]

Well, we were at our wits end feeling very bad physically & mentally. We made a pact to just try cutting the crap out for 1 month to see how we would do, to "get back on track" and I searched 'Low Carb Recipes' in KZbin and his videos were the first to come up. I can't remember exactly which ones we watched first, because we watched about 10 in a row, I feel like you should just watch anyone that intrigues you by the photo or title, whatever gets you interested. We had never even HEARD of keto! So we decided to try it 100% after watching those 10 videos, and we haven't stopped since January 3rd! My advice for a beginner is IT GETS EASIER, you just have to keep going!

[@teresag5219]

I’m down 20lbs since June. Do you also do the intermittent fasting?? Just wondering because my weight loss is slowing down and I might incorporate that in as well.

If you're severely overweight I highly recommend that you adopt keto and IF (16/8 to start and later move to 18/6 or 20/4) I guarantee you do that you'll fix your insulin resistance and you'll melt fat like a mad person. I am eating 1800 to 2000 calories a day and losing 4 pounds a week and never hungry and feel like I am in my 20's again. On top of that I know I am getting healthier too. I've lost 21 pounds my first month, 8 pounds the first week, 4 lbs the last three...which I've never ever done before. It was always a lot the first 10-14 days and settle in around 1-2 a week ever starving myself and eating 1250-1500 a day and at 1800-2000 I am burning twice or three times more fat by doing keto and fasting. Thomas is a genius!

[@liveforchrist1474]

Watch Keto meal plan utube videos. Most of them eat mostly meat and they don't limit fat intake and they eat good size sides of veggies. It's that simple. And low carb fruits.

[@liveforchrist1474]

Buy a bottle of Keto Sticks, they are urine keto test strips, they help you make sure you're loosing weight. Test with them every day. You have to start by eating zero carbs and no caffeine for about 3 days to get the body into the state of ketosis. It takes most people about 3 days. Exclude sweeteners for the first few days also. If you're ketosing you are loosing weight so your test strip will show pink/purple color. If you're not ketosing you are not loosing weight so you're test strip will not show pink/purple color so you have to keep eating zero carbs and no caffeine until your test shows pink/purple color. When the body runs out of carbs to use for energy it switches to using the body's fat stores for energy and they show in the urine as ketones. The test strip detects the chemicals in the ketones. The darker the tint color means the heavier you're ketosing meaning the faster you're loosing weight. Read Dr.Atkins book titled Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution. He explains ketosis and low carb dieting very thoroughly in this book, it's so easy to understand. Its the book my dad followed to loose 275 lb in a year and 2 months and his weight was mostly in his belly. He kept with low carb eating, he ate all the meat and fat he wanted and got healthy. He started with zero carbs and no caffeine for a few days to get the body into the state of ketosis. He bought Keto Sticks, and he tested every day. After he achieved ketosis he gradually added more carbs. He added 10 - 20 grams of carbs to his daily intake every following week until he was intaking no more than 40 grams of carbs per day through out his weight loss journey. You can stay at 20 grams of carbs per day to ketose heavier until you reach your weight loss goal. You can adjust your weightloss speed by eating more or less carbs but keeping it under 40 grams per day should keep you in ketosis, it's a recomended carb intake limit. 20 grams of carbs per day will cause quicker weightloss. Some people can tolerate a little more carbs per day maybe even up to 100 grams of carbs per day. You can try gradually adding more than 40 grams of carbs per day and see what it does to your ketosis if you want. If the body is in the state of ketosis it can not store fat it can only shed fat and other toxic weight so he ate all the fat and calories he wanted to keep himself satisfied while ketosing. There is no need to count calories as long as you are keeping your carb intake low enough to keep you ketosing. Forty grams of carbs per day is a recommended limit to keep the body in the state of ketosis. If you have a cheat day or cheat meal your body may stop ketosing because of overconsumption of carbs so all you have to do after a cheat day is start over by eating zero carbs and no caffeine for a few days to get yourself back into ketosis. Caffeine spikes insulin thus slowing weighloss so some people restrict it completely even after the first week to avoid slowed weightloss. Eating fat , especially rich animal fats , while ketosing causes the body to ketose more heavily, provides energy, satisfies appetite healthily, lubricates intestines , eyes and skin and is crucial for organ function including the brain. Animal meats should not be restricted either they are too important for replenishing the muscles and organs. Also, no colon cleansers are needed on a diet that causes the body to ketose, in fact it can be detrimental. I made that mistake and almost killed my kidneys it hurt so bad so I quit colon cleansers while keto dieting and I felt so much better. Ketosis causes the body to naturally cleanse itself including the colon. The body works hard enough while ketosing to shed weight on its own. There are veggies allowed in the first week about 1 cup per day they are practically zero carb. They are listed in Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution book. He also wrote a book giving carb count content of many foods to help you stay on track. I've read both of these books. Test your urine an hour or two hours after trying new packaged foods or snacks to test their carb content honesty. Or if you prefer the keto blood testers you can use that instead or use both. Some people say blood testing is more accurate and quicker. I prefer the urine strips. I analize my ketosis the day after trying new packaged products also. Eating practically zero carbs for a few days should get your body into deep ketosis. Sorry to repeat myself but I hope this info helps people loose weight fast like my dad did. I mostly eat meat and their fats, low carb veggies and low carb fruit ,salads, nuts not so many cashews, unlimited butter, full fat sour cream and full fat mayo, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, heavy cream, avacados, Sweetleaf Stevia Sweet Drops (practically zero carb sweetener) too much is bitter so use a few drops at a time until it tastes right, it sweetens lightly but it's a life saver. These are some packaged products to help if I have strong craving for sweets: Hungry Buddha Keto Bars, Lilly's baking chips all flavors, Live Soda, Zevia Soda, Rebel ice cream, Atkins lemon bar and cheesecake bar, Two Good yogurt, Love Good Fats Bars, most of the Quest bars are ok just watch the ingredients on the packaged products claiming to be keto friendly, most of them are pretty trustworthy. Quest protein chips are awesome. Everyone's tolerance is different. There are good keto bakeries online. I pray you understand all this completely in Jesus' name. God's blessings to ya! Also, watch the Keto Connect videos called "Sweeteners Explained" or "Good and Bad Sweeteners For Keto". I tested Atkins lemon bar and cheesecake bar and they didn't slow my ketosis at all. I want to test more Atkins foods since Dr. Atkins died, I always test new low carb products and brands.

[@liveforchrist1474]

Dr. Atkins was a keto genius, he explained ketosis in his books and if it weren't for him no one would know what ketosis is. I don't know why some people are trying to deny that Dr. Atkins saved many many people's lives and still is cuz his books are still available. I'm guessing because of Atkins foods since he died but that's no reason to deny he was right. They shouldn't be trying to redefine keto dieting.

[@rodneybooth4069]

Started Atkins (again) Jan 1 and after doing the two week induction with under 20 g carbs I found videos on the keto diets and realized I was doing keto so I continued with keto and still on it. After I hit my target weight I do around 30+ carbs. My mojo is rarely over 1.0 with most around 0.7 so I'm probably around 2/3 to 1. It ran 1.5 to 3.2 when I was into weight loss but I was into butter, ghee, coconut and MCT oil plus more avocados plus lots of nitrite free bacon. It's not hard for me to know the difference as I was on Atkins when he was still running his company back when and I couldn't maintain it. Lose a bunch in four or five months and it took about two years to gain it all back and that was the best diet of the time as far as I am concerned. Previous to Atkins I did the HCLF diets and I gained it back before the holidays of the same year.. The difference with keto and Atkins or other diets? Cravings is the difference people, no question about it. I'm about 5lbs over my Army discharge weight in 1963, It's obvious why I like keto.

[@jimlynn4708]

Thomas! Virtually every video you post changes my life for the better. Have been in some sort of keto (according to breath monitor) for a couple months. Struggled to find a way to keep fat intake high without boostng protein. Using the idea of direct ratios, I discovered 2 things: 1) I've stopped eating eggs in favor of coconut cream and 2) the "20-25 net carb" is not so important as long as the carbs are real low GI. Been maintaining a 4+ to 1 fat/protein ratio, staying in keto, intermittent fast every other day and losing weight. Was on a "clueless plateau" (was actually gaining fat back) for about a year but, since using your lessons, have lost 19 lbs in 45 days. Now only 13 lbs from my decade long goal. No way to say thank you enough.

I wish there was a simple here is a listing of the things you need to do for the keto diet from foods to disciplines. Its all so overwhelming.

[@idyllicacrylicsjulieb4328]

63Sonotech/US Traveler I break it down like this 😁 Eat meat, eggs, salmon, butter, cheese, coconut oil, avocado and avocado oil, olive oil, dark leafy greens, broccoli, asparagus, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, hemp hearts, macadamia nuts, pecans, walnuts, and get your electrolytes in, so salt, potassium, and magnesium. Avocado and spinach are great for potassium. Pumpkin seeds for magnesium. Pink sea salt for sodium (a little sprinkle on your food or a pinch in some water) Drink lots of water. That's the basic list of ketogenic diet to make it simple. You are looking for 75% fat, 5% carbs, and 20% protein. Don't worry about the intermittent fasting until you are comfortable with the keto lifestyle. When you are confident with those foods, and have been eating keto for a while, and you know how many calories you need, you can then look into recipes for keto treats😀 I hope that helps!

Low carb = lose weight

[@texashankpalmer876]

Listen to Ben Bikman. He's got a bunch of super good info! 3 Steps: 1) Control Carbs 2) Prioritize protein (it will not kick you out of ketosis as this video purports.. listen to Ben Bikman for more info) 3) Fill with fat (the rest of your diet should come from healthy fat sources) Just a little more info on the protein thing. The whole idea behind the keto diet or any low-carb diet is to reduce insulin levels. Someone following the standard american diet (high carb) will have a considerable insulin response to protein, however, someone following a low-carb diet (or even someone in a fast) will have no such response to protein. In fact, it would be very dangerous if we did have a spike in insulin without glucose in the blood. Again, listen to Ben Bikman for more info and to have a more reliable source of information than this Texan.

Still 2 years of serious Keto has produced little other then great tasting food. Everyone asks... how much weight have you lost? Well, I'm 10lbs heavier. How much has your energy improved? I've lost 50%. I've tried to go 100% carb free. With dairy and nut and veggie carbs that's probably 20-30 carbs daily. I eat 1.5 oz's of triple cream brie cheese every AM. Before noon. Then one big salad around 4-5PM. The salad is mixed with meats, veggies, nuts, dairy, avocado etc... I'm 170lbs. 5'9.5". 65yrs old. Was 155lbs. while able to ride bike 40mls. 6 days/wk. Now 15/20 mls, twice/week. Tried to stop Keto 6 mo. ago by eating garbanzo beans, oatmeal and some fruit... weight shot as all carbs were stored as fat to combat my supposed starvation.

I am currently reading the induction section of a book titled “Dr. Atkins’ New Diet Revolution”. It was published in 2002. One of the rules of induction is that nuts and seeds are not allowed. On page 133 of the book there is an example menu of an induction breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The sample induction dinner is 9 oz of broiled salmon, kale topped with garlic, lemon and sesame seeds. Question: Why are sesame seeds included in the sample dinner if nuts and seeds are not allowed during induction?

I used a ketogenic diet and fasting to reverse and heal me from insulin resistance and type 2 d. I really like the phrase, “glucose impairment issue” to describe type 2 as opposed to type 2 diabetes.

[@finnmiller-new6383]

I know Dom personally follows modified Atkins and utilises ketone supplements and that seems to work well, I think a lot of the difference in true or modified Atkins comes from your body’s ability to tolerate foods with a higher glycemic index as well as your ability to metabolise ketones and how energy efficient you are. Trying different ratios for set periods and IF can really help determine how you structure your diet in terms of ketosis

[@liveforchrist1474]

Fasting and exercise are beneficial and may speed up the weightloss but if you have to fast or exercise to get results on ketogenic diet then you're probably consuming too much caffeine and / or the wrong sweeteners or you're sensitive to even ketogenic sweeteners. Or all three are your issue. Eating fat , especially the rich animal fats, causes the body to ketose more heavily. Caffeine spikes insulin so it can slow weight loss to the point of stalling. Dr. Atkins explained all this in his original New Diet Revolution book. When I started ketogenic dieting again I was too sensitive to even ketogenic sweeteners so I had to lay off of them to speed up weight loss. And caffeine definitely slowed my ketosis too much so I ditched it completely. From experience I don't trust all decaf anymore either. But some did do well with me.

[@joerandom157]

This makes perfect sense as to why I overeat protein and ketones are gone. It's not terrible since I'm more in maintenance than anything. But I absolutely have to moderate protein to maintain ketosis. It's also nice knowing I don't need carbs in order to break ketosis so I don't have to go out of my way with carb rich foods to do so. Maybe because I'm not fat adapted (actual ketosis) yet is why this happens... but it does happen

Thanks you videos are always amazing thanks

[@theprophet2444]

I'm eating once a day between 1700 and 2000kcal(until I'm full) and try to keep carbs very low, I don't eat sugar in any kind or form(fruit juices or industrial food) and only real unprocessed food. Most of the time I'm at a 15% carbs, 25% protein and 60% fats, I eat my berries and an apple from time to time. I've lost a lot of belly fat and 15 Kg within the last few months and feel better than ever. I am not in full time ketosis but thanks to eating only once a day and "fasting" the 23 other hours my body is utilizing fat reserves naturally when the food I ate is used up. On the upside: I never feel hungry, unless it's that time of day again, when I am going to eat. -And I ate a piece of cake the other day(which is an exception as I barely ever eat anything containing sugar) without getting headaches or other symptoms, because my body can also process glucose if there is need to. What some people seem to forget is, that our liver can store roughly 1000kcal of glucose, so it is possible to eat a few carbs from time to time without completely messing up your body. People get fat because the glucose storage in the liver and muscles is overloaded and the excess glucose that isn't used up has to be stored as fat with the help of insulin. -Also fruit sugar is killing people left and right, cause the body can only use half of it, as the other half is fructose that can only be converted into fat, weather you would need it or not, that's how a fatty liver is born. And yeah, drinking lots of alcohol is just as bad as drinking lots of fruit juices(plus the negative side effects on the brain of course).

I believe that Elaine Cantin has hit the nail right on the head. Her book The Cantin Ketogenic Diet is the ketogenic diet with no dairy. This book was written in 2012 and has been completely overlooked. This woman is a lay person and figured out how to combat cancer. She deserves a Nobel peace prize. In her book she thinks dairy is associated with allergens. I beg to differ and according to my own symptoms( with no research to back me up) the lactic acid in dairy products either feeds or creates an environment for cancer growth. Some butters, cream cheese are laced with lactic acid as a preservative or some dairy actually produce and grow lactic acid.

[@alexandrefalardeau678]

Fasting combined with a keto style diet has great benefits...1 thing that people often forget (if they want to lose fat while doing keto) is to not eat too much fat! By eating a lower calorie diet, by mainly eating fats and protein, your body will run more efficiently on ketones. Thus, your body will become more efficient in burning your own body fat...But only if youre in a calorie deficit.

[@davidr9876]

How long do you need to fast for and how often do you need to fast? Also, getting 70% of calories from fat is hard, what do you guys eat? I don't care if I have to eat the same thing for a year, I'm morbidly obese 5'10 and 325 lbs. I need to get the weight off first then I can switch to something more sustainable. I'm also over 50 so this needs to happen right now.

[@Deanriley]

Atkins got me to go low carb many years ago; the induction phase is plain keto. The downside to the old low carb ala Atkins was using too many artificial sweeteners and soy flour; so many who failed at Atkins got side-tracked with these substances.

[@idyllicacrylicsjulieb4328]

The video thumbnail had me dying 😂😂😂😂

[@MogSauce]

Ive watched a lot of your videos and I really resonate with this one. Great video! I get bagged on at my workplace (I work at a gym) for being such a big fan of the ketogenic diet and I agree that most people are just not well educated on the topic. Thanks a lot, now I have a great resource to send them to!

[@herbieburbie]

Yea, Thanks for your videos. I'm down 50lbs almost at my goal and plan on staying on a keto/workout plan as a lifestyle.

[@googleme7754]

I am genuinely sorry to hear of the loss of your father.

[@MrFurious176]

A tip to get your fat intake up is to hide it in your veggies. It is really easy to add some extra coconut oil and sour cream in sauteed mushrooms and kale or making a sauce for roasted cauliflower. The veggies will add bulk to your plate and you won't need as much protein to make it feel like a meal.

[@ddubya4097]

Mr Furious BPC is great too

[@alexkory3967]

Well said. Timing for this video couldn’t be more perfect. My husband and I were in a huge debate about it earlier today. Thank you for your content. I’ve learned so much from your videos.

[@superman4ever1986]

Great info. I am glad I found your channel. I use intermittent fasting plus keto diet and I have loss 5 lbs in two weeks , and I have much more energy throughout the day. I have researched everything you talk about. Spot on with all info. You are doing a wonderful job with the content you provide. 💪🏽👌🏽👍🏽

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

superman4ever1986 glad you enjoy the content! Thank you for tuning in!!

[@cyberpunk6142]

please do more videos like this Tom... I am interested in the theraputic side and the foods/fats/calories to have per day that will support that level of theraputic ketosis and keeping your weight down without loosing too much muscle in the process.. Videos diving into what might happen if you go into theraputic ketosis and what will happen to your muscle/ body composition without a lot of protein (even though I know ketones are muscle sparing) I even had a dream about you the other week which tells me how much I love your channel and style of teaching. love from London xx

[@DjScottMasters1990]

Bro another great video I'm sorry for the loss of your father he would be proud .Thomas would recommend someone doing ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting

[@mialord2000]

Please show how to increase your fats without increasing protein? Very hard to do, would like to see full days of what you eat to get a good idea of how to do it. Thanks ❤️

[@dallasjansen2226]

enjoying your high quality educational videos! Thanks!!

[@MeanMachineRadio]

Excellent video, Thomas. Thank You for the information.I also lost my Dad to cancer. I sure wish I knew then what I know now, but as it is I apply this information to myself and others in the hopes that we can all be happy and healthy going forward. Thanks again.

[@trailerfitter2]

Interesting to present my 84-year-old mother to a Keto diet where she, as a nurse in the 1950's 60 and 70's, was sceptical at first until I mentioned that it was similar to an Atkins Diet. She knew at that point exactly what I was talking about and brought out one of her old medical books on the subject. I'm still new to this and my body prefers a higher intake of proteins.

[@catherineanderson2514]

I think you are doing amazing work by sharing your videos. I am sorry about your losing your Dad, I myself lost my Dad last year. I do have one question in regard to the Keto diet and Cancer. Cancer can’t survive without sugar or in an alkaline environment. Isn’t Keto and the foods on this style of eating fairly high in Acid?? Keep up the amazing work!

[@patrickdrury1480]

Good stuff as always. How bout a vid covering the Oral, (mouth), microbiota, and SPECIFIC foods/ supplements you would recommend to improve that particular microbiome . Thank you.

[@christalley879]

My understanding is that gluconeogenesis is an "as needed" process. Humans will not turn excess protein into glucose beyond what it needs to replenish glycogen. The rest will be eliminated. That is why high protein, near zero carb weight loss diets work. You need a caloric deficit, of course.

[@gilbertoorozco5670]

Chris Talley this. i hate how people claim that eating high protein will kick you out of ketosis.. this is false. gluconeogenesis is a VERY stable process and isnt based on supply.

[@1crazednut]

Have been in nutritional ketosis for almost a year ... with some brief breaks to celebrate holidays and birthdays, etc. Keto absolutely works. It's a fantastic approach if you're motivated to follow a strict dietary (and ideally exercise) protocol. Three things you'll need to incorporate if you too want to maximize its benefits: 1.) measure your food & track daily macros in a spreadsheet 2.) regularly test blood BHB, at least until you know how far you can push your macros and remain in nut. ketosis and 3.) eliminate ETOH (this will effectively kick you out of keto and yield less than optimal results). My two cents.

[@TheJust22az]

Great info. Love doing keto. It has really made a positive difference in my health.

[@MichaelFidelis]

My condolences to your family, may your father’s memory be eternal.

[@SpencerDavis2000]

hey Thomas thanks for the wonderful video. Please keep making awesome content like this

[@annenhie10]

I do IF and Atkins. Mostly because I don't like to be too numerical with my food. Easier for me to stick to the diet.

[@georgeiscreative]

What a great video. Thank you again, Thomas, for such great content. 👌

Eva Marton thank you for watching!! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@adamczer7017]

Love this video!! I have epilepsy and did the keto diet for a year. I never felt more brainpower in my lifetime. I was seizure free for over a year. Thinking about trying it again. I’m just such a fruit lover though!! Haha

[@tatumrusso449]

Thanks for the awesome content! I'm a recent subscriber and have been binge watching your videos for a couple of days! Already noticing the difference your advice is making. Just wanted to repeat a question from below: Is the 3:1/4:1 fat to protein ratio in cals or grams? Also would be interested to see a video about breaking through fat loss plateaus on IF/Keto. Thanks again

[@soundaryalahari2033]

Woww! Very informative. Thank you so much. Can you pls pls make a video explaining the biochemistry going on in both the diets?

[@HiHi-pf5tp]

If not exactly following keto diet, which is the best ratios for carb:protein ?

[@TOMMYSURIA]

You are missing the boat. The source of the nutrients makes a BIG difference. AKA, animal vs. plant-based sources. You getting closer. Could you get Dr. Greger (Nutritionfacts.org), Dr. Joel Furhman ( Eat to Live), Dr. Jason Fung (The Complete Guide to Fasting) and Dr. Cabral on a round table and really go at it in a holistic way?

I am happier doing Keto than Atkins (I did 15yrs ago) I got so sick of eating meat I started not to eat much at all. Keto can be done vegetarian style... anyone done Keto vegan?

[@dyahviona]

Sometimes I do vegan keto once in a while. Having tempe as protein and either coconut oil or olive oil or coconut milk or all of them as fat source.

[@rosemaryflee]

I was diagnosed with Cancer and I am utilizing the ketogenic diet. It works much better for cancers if you leave out all dairy products. Atkins diet never worked on Cancer patients. Atkins diet allows dairy products.

[@thomaskeets3194]

Rosemary Lee, you need to add in fasting too to reap the benefits

Hi I sprout broccoli and I do your keto plus IF 18\6. I break my fast daily at 4pm with a quart of sprouts an avacdo and a boiled egg with the juice of a lime. And a glass of braggs with pumpkin spice. Do you think this is a good fast break meal

[@JPE_DRAEB]

Differences between Atkins and Carnivore and ketosis?

[@barbara3261]

Thanks Thomas, good info.

[@ThriftyAV]

The Atkins diet has changed since the death of Robert Atkins in 2003, and I suppose that this is where "modified Atkins" comes into play. However, the original Atkins (1972) and New Diet Revolution (1992) both had an initial period that were very much ketogenic. This period was initially called "Level 1" and later termed "induction". Robert Atkins did not advocate counting Protein vs Fat macros as long as carbohydrates were liminated to 20g, but if you look at the meal plans in these books, many are 2:1 and a few are very close to 1:1. In the first book, Dr. Atkins suggested this way of eating for the first week, but in "New Diet Revolution", it was extended to at least two weeks with the option to keep it going as long as the dieter wanted. Chapter 18 of "New Diet Revolutions" titled "Treating Extreme Metabolic Resistance" has a plan called a "fat fast" that limits calories to 1000 per day, with 90% as fat. So this Atkins plan would certainly create a state of ketosis.

[@lvncsr6166]

Praise God!

[@stratosadam6820]

Since I started keto and fasting I sleep less from 9-10 hours a day I went to 6 hours and feel good I have some issues with my sleep at night but not a big deal, I keep my carbs below 10 grams some days even 0

[@righton934]

I don't think you can eat enough protein to turn it into sugar if you are keeping your carbohydrate level under 20g. With intermittent fasting I6 to 8 you will lose the same amount regardless if you do keto or Atkins , I think the induction phase of Atkins trumps everything I've tried.

[@ShankhMukherjee]

Even if it was diving in to the therapeutic side; it was really informative. Great video!

[@shelleypope-keitt6271]

I’ve been exploring doing Paleo for the months I’m not doing Keto. What are your thoughts on this?

For overall health, would you recomend cycling on and off of keto diet. if so what is recommended "off time"??

[@cryptobengal6939]

Thanks , nice explanation,

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

Cryptobengal thank you for watching!!

[@abcmole]

What about the original Atkins diet? Is a Phase 1 original Atkins diet more akin to a Ketogenic diet you advocate?Some people find it too limiting but I actually prefer it to the modified or newer Atkins diet being sold today.
