I had to recently returned to the office for 7 days after WFH since late March and I had a cheat week with a lot of carbs (pizza, burger) rather take a bag lunch. Continued IF, but I couldn't stop thinking about food. Now back to the normal low card/no sugar routine and, for example, yesterday I lasted from 8pm Fri to 6pm Sat, no snacks, and IF 18:6 is a breeze again. I have gotten rid of ~30lbs since Feb '20 and about 25lbs to go. And from a XL T-shirt to a Medium.

@@faithm9284 Soak 1/2 c raw almonds (about 75) in2 cups filtered or spring water before going to bed. In the morning rinse the almonds and put them in the blender (or in the refrigerator for later). Fill the blender with water to the 4 c mark or slightly more. Blend on high speed for about a minute. Pour over a clean knee high nylon stocking (can purchase on amazon) to strain. Gently squeeze the pulp until all liquid is out. Rinse and reuse the stocking. pour the milk into 8 oz mason or ball canning jars with the metal rings and metal lids that have a rubber seal. NOT the new plastic lids they are selling. Fill the jars as full as possible to keep excess oxygen out. Screw the lid tightly and put in the refrigerator. They will keep for up to 3 days. You don't want to pour it into a 1 qt. jar if you will not use the full qt when you open it. It won't keep long if you leave it exposed to oxygen. It's now a raw and fresh product, not inferior pasturized milk devoid of living life force. Great for Chia seed pudding too. I adding this edit on 2/12/21. Purchase almonds direct from the grower in CA. and you will be able to get truly unpasturized almonds. You can tell if they've been pasturized because the skins fall off when you soak them. Remember in 2009 the gov. passed a law saying they had to be pasturized or gassed for salmonella reasons. Even though they say raw on them or organic at the health food store only the growers are allowed to sell truly raw and organic non pasturized almonds now. I find these growers by googling for them.

Just got to stop eating sugar. I know its hard and it has been for me the key is to choose better alternatives while trying to cut it all out for good or keeing it really minimal. Maple syrup, honey, stevia, cane sugar are great alternatives. Everything I make has been altered for less sugar or none if it really does bot need it like stir frys etc. It is still good to me but now there has been progress for me I do not like things too sweet now because I always lower my sugar intake. With that said I hope this helps you in some way. Also for me I fast at night I stop eating at 6 or 7pm and will not start eating until 11am or so that has really helped me control cravings and reverse a lot of the damage my body has had threw the years. Good luck :)

[@kbaz6658]

@@kaylagarcia8118 Maple syrup, honey and cane sugar are all high glycemic sugars..not alternatives. Cane sugar is another name for sugar made from sugar cane. You can't make a claim that using these is "sugar free".

[@kaylagarcia8118]

@@kbaz6658 They are all natural and great alternatives for you while you are trying to cut out sugar all together. Cane sugar is a pure form of sugar. The sugar we have today was once cane sugar but has been progress then bleached and all of the minerals are taken out of the cane sugar. Cane sugar is still a sugar but it is 100% better for you in its natural form. You also need way less while baking because of this and it is the same price as table sugar except it has all of the minerals while it has not been processed. Honey is basically bee spit and has so many health benefits I would encourage you to do some research. Maple syrup is also a natural source and it comes from trees. Things like stevia are highly processed and have to be found in a pure form for you to be doing more good than harm. All the fake sugars we have today cause cancer and other health problems thay completely go against what most people are trying to accomplish in the first place which would be to cut out sugar and be healthy. The fact is eating sugar is bad for us and ideally most people are not able to completely get away from it because it is in almost everything. It is the most addictive thing we put into our body far more than any drug. With that said these are the best alternatives because they are natural and reconized by the body therefore the body knows what to do with this sugar and can process it while being able to absorb the good minerals in the sugar. It is the same story with salt the only salt I use when I bake or cook is Himalayan salt because it has over 75 vitamens and minerals in the salt it is pure as to table salt and sea salt that has been progressed. Sea salt can be okay it is better than table salt however it is not the best. The fact is sugar and salt are in everything and I have actually come to a point where I no longer crave sugar anymore but it is nice to have these 3 sugar substitutes when I need them to turn to for things like pancakes with syrup or maybe making a cake for a birthday. If you catch my drift you will understand that sugar is bad but filling your body with something is can reconize with more health benefits instead of poison is in my opinion a far better option and to be honest braking my addiction and how I got here was basically using this strategy because take a diet for example restricting yourself will never last so you need something sustainable to get you to what you are ultimately trying to accomplish. Anyway I really hope this helps others out there it is really effective in my openion however the choice is ultimately yours what you decide to subtitle with just make sure you do a lot of research on it.

Tips: Be specially aware of Almond flour as it can really jump up in carbs if you buy the wrong brand. Also it is possible to find like Peanut butter with very little carbs if you search for it. Alternatives like Almond butter & lupin flour can also be really low carb (but more expensive or like lupin have a really strong taste). Also even thou making you own "sweets" yourself like icescream it is still possible to get some low carb items like whipped cream on a can & pre-cooked bacon too.

I'm 84, stand 6 feet 4 inches and weigh 164 pounds. I haven't been to an M.D. in over 50 years. Two of the greatest joys in life are sex, and food. Many of what I call the Purists in healthy living seem to be those humans who are almost masochistic in their approach to sensation in our human existence. Moderation in all the things we are surrounded by is how I've always lived my life. There are obvious sensations we should of course completely avoid. When I was a young man, I smoked cigarettes and drank--mostly beer. I gave both of those enjoyable, but obviously unhealthy things up, 55 years ago. I never used any drugs. I've never given up sexual enjoyment, and still enjoy what little I can get at my old age. Sugar is a wonderful sensation, but is so harmful to our bodies that I give it up all the time.... I go for weeks eating a totally healthy diet and then get weak and indulge. I'm a happy old man without regrets or animosity toward any living thing. Unless there really is reincarnation, we pass through this life only once. Try to be kind to all other living things and take the time to enjoy the beautiful sensations in life in moderation....

"Cheese contains casein, a dairy protein that releases casomorphins, which are plant compounds that trigger dopamine production in your brain. This makes cheese mildly addictive." (Healthline) I personally also find nuts and meat sticks (when I ate meat) addictive. The only thing in that list I don't get temptation to overeat or get cravings to is boiled eggs. Not strictly keto, but raw carrot (on its own) and celery sticks are also snacks that I find keep hunger away without triggering the desire to eat more.

I avoid snacking but sometimes I feel like I really need something to curb intense cravings. If it's true hunger and drinking some water doesn't help, I try to listen to my body and just eat an actual small meal. Otherwise, I will have a little something to calm my hunger so I can move on with my life. I've found pickles, Sauerkraut, or raw nuts to work well, or else I keep iced green tea on hand that I brew myself, water with ACV, or a homemade hot cocoa concoction lightly sweetened with stevia to all be very satiating. Supplements that can help to curb cravings are glutamine powder mixed in a little water or a homemade electrolyte drink I make using a magnesium and potassium powder blend, a little sea salt, and a pinch of baking soda. Sometimes you're just really thirsty but it translates into hunger, so starting with something that'll quench your thirst (but that won't have a negative impact) can be all it takes.

After 2 yrs keto/carnivore and hashimoto's thyroiditis, i can only lose weight by eliminating All carbs from my diet and then I still plateau for months on end. Sometimes my plateau extends for 6 months. I am a sugar addict. Any sugar or sugar substitute is si delicious, I want more. I finally stopped all sugar substitutes and diet Pepsi from my daily diet. Is it hard? YES. I am determined to reverse, or put type 2 into remission. For me, it means, a strict diet and hopefully no meds and no detrimental health issues. Ive already had 3 joint replacements and may need a 4th. I suspect my addict to sugar has significantly impacted inflammation and attacked my joints. Once I get to goal, I may be able to lossen my regimen a bit but not much. Im fighting for a healthy 20 + years. Thanks for this vlog.

Been doing OMAD with Keto and I'm simply not very hungry. I didn't eat yesterday until 8pm and only really ate because somebody put some fajitas in front of me before our poker game. I just ate the stuff going in the wrap, but no wraps. Delish. I may try extending a fast to 36 hours and see if I can do it.

It's a delightful treat that doesn't need any fussing in the kitchen. One of the best peanut butter out there- Alpino's peanut butter, whether it is natural or chocolate-flavored, is the best!

Thank you kindly Dr Becky. Your videos are always appreciated. ❤️👍 Hello 🙋🏻‍♀️💕 from center of 🇨🇦 Canada.

[@trekkeruss]

Being very insulin resistant, I have given up on snacking for the time being. I am doing keto OMAD, and honestly, I do not miss eating more often and I do not miss the snacks.

[@SiegfriedEmme]

excellent video. I learned some stuff. If you add ghee or butter to your warm liquid I find that that does provide a measure of satiety. I really don't snack when I do this

[@thiaco6203]

Keto people do butter (Kerrygold) in their coffee and call it bulletproof coffee. I think Starbucks will make it for you.

[@pondgazer1]

I started drinking 310 shakes a while back in an attempt to lose ten pounds. I found them waaaaaaaaaay too sweet and felt like I was developing a sweet tooth as a result which was really frustrating. This video really confirms my experience. Real, unadulterated foods work best after all. Thank you for this video. I learned a lot.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You have such a calm and clear speech and appearance, really enjoyed listening to you. May I ask you if you meditate or do any other kind of energy/ concentrational work? Best regards from the german Baltic sea

Protein bars and shakes are gross. Just have real food . I love you Dr. Becky!

[@gjclark2478]

Thanks Dr Gillaspy, in UK we have net carbs on our labels....... I find total carbs helps better than net. I think they do this to folks to make it look healthier than it seems. Anyhow, thanks to you I keep on the keto wagon as you are straight to the point and no nonsense, Thank you 👍

Or don't snack. Eat bacon and steak until you are satiated and can last until next meal.

[@lnghrnfn]

I agree with the "don't snack." I do IF + low carb so IMO it's pretty difficult to squeeze snacks in there!

[@CarbageMan]

What most people don't understand is that snacking, even on "keto" food, even completely healthy food, will raise your insulin, making it counterproductive.

[@staceykersting705]

I use butter like candy...just a small sliver's so satisfying and salty/sweet...yum!

[@CarbageMan]

@@staceykersting705 :D Not only that, but at some point, we get more fat adapted and could cut back the fat some, thus breaking stalls, etc. because we burn our own fat. I've done this, and my results have been so subtle, I have to remind myself it's working (in my case, I'm deliberately adding muscle in hopes of longevity rewards.) So I'm actually up ten pounds or so from where I was, but I'm convinced I've mostly traded fat for muscle. I don't have evidence because I don't have good metrics. I probably should have been using something better than a body fat scale all along (I don't trust it.)

You know, this makes so much sense to me. When I was a teenager I got a toothache from a coffee crisp chocolate bar. 30 years later I bit into a coffee crisp bar and got an instant toothache. Only thing is, there is no tooth there anymore there is an implant tooth there! Thank you!

[@sabatounsi3999]

I had a gastric sleeve in 2019 , I lost 90 lbs , I reach my goal weight , even less than my ideal weight! Now I start regaining weight !! I eat sweets the 3 C every single day !! No pasta no bread no rice ! I know that I need to stop eating desert ! So I found that the best way is to go for a low-carb diet ! Since I only have to cut deserts cause I don't eat any other type of proccessed food . Wish me luck

Wouldn't it be nice if we could just "decide" to do better. Sweet addiction is hard to kick.

And the food companies have known that for several decades. If you removed everything in the store with some form of sugar in it you would literally be left with 20% of what is there. Pretty much meat fish cheese veggies.

I drink plant based protein shakes and add walnuts, flaxseed and mixed fruit, such as papaya or blue, black, berries, raspberry, strawberries, or mango and pineapple. Sometimes just a chocolate plant based protein with almonds on the side. I use almond coconut milk. Would this trigger weight gained??

[@faithm9284]

Protein, Power bars, etc. are nothing more than Candy bars! I talked to a mother in Wally world who thought she was giving her kids 'healthy' lunches by giving them Organic 'health' bar for school lunches. They are candy bar, loaded with sugars, and sweet derivatives. I bought into this sale pitch in the beginning, then started to notice how I needed them just to make it through the day since I was crashing shortly after each bar. I wasn't feeling healthy either. Lost weight when I cut them out! I had no idea they were so "loaded' until I became 'health conscious'.

[@MattCabosca]

As to the "cephalic phase insulin response", does is happen only when there's sweet food in the mouth? or is thinking of sweet food (like when in company of people eating ice cream) enough to trigger it?

[@lorenamcgovern]

Great question. I'm thinking it's just as bad to watch others pig out

[@singit3630]

Yea...it takes something to pull away from sweet tastes and not look back. Not there quite yet, but it is monk fruit or stevia. Work in progress...

[@lnghrnfn]

I use monk fruit/stevia/erythritol in my coffee twice a day & a 1/4 c serving of Halo Top or Enlightened ice cream as a dessert after supper. It really satisfies my "sweet tooth" without overindulging! :) I like having a treat so I won't fall into that "deprivation" trap.

[@carolbenson6524]

I sure wish all the food manufacturers would quit adding all kinds of sweeteners and sugars to all foods. I don't even those protein bars..they have such an artificial taste. Loving all your videos..have learned a lot!
