Top 7 Keto Mistakes

[@allyoopsification]

I have been on every diet out there. Tried fasting, intermittent fasting. Changed course sooo many times. I vowed to myself that in 2024 I was going to lose weight and clear up some health issues. It wasn’t until Feb 7 that I stumbled upon you from another Instagram page that was touting your lasagna. I researched you and that day immediately starting incorporating your advice. I have consistently lost a pound or more every day since I started on the 7 th. I have until March 5 where my daughter and grandkids are visiting me and I have a feeling they are going to be shocked. I cannot believe how this is working. Nothing has ever for me. I feel so optimistic and the health issues have all but disappeared. I go to bed with so much excitement of what the scale is going to say when I wake up. I’ll tell you I was so confused on the many versions out there on how to lose weight. I did not know what to think or do. Now I know! I am so grateful for finding you Maria, you are giving me my life back.

Started in sep 2023 . Didnot loose a pond but got plenty of energy . I was eating nuts and dairies ( plenty ) . One day I heard you talking about dairies and nuts and stop stuffing myself of theese . A day later I finally realize the BIG difference . Thank you Maria . I am really grateful . I keep on following you . ❤

I started keto in 2016, I lost over 80 pounds, then hit a wall after a year or so in, i was working out at orangetheory, doing yoga and walking every day. If I knew about psmf then I'd have broken right through that plateau, i know so much more now. I have put back on about 25 pounds since 2020, I could give you all the excuses but i wont. My 49th birthday is in 9 more days and this is my gift to myself, carnivore challenge to jumpstart and be my BEST!

[@reneecampos1261]

Your story is similar to mine. Carnivore challenge for me for three months starting today Jan.1. Then probably ketovore from then on out. Good luck. We can do this!

@@reneecampos1261 yeah Renee we got this !!! I will see you in the Facebook challenge ♥️

[@amygood3217]

Also similar to mine started in 2016 lost around 70 hit a wall gave up tracking and have been trying different "versions" of keto. Even carnivore for 90 days with only a pound or two loss. I have tried a few psmf days, and it is the only thing that has moved the scale. Just get a bit discouraged with it because it feels like an old restrictive diet again. I am recommiting again this year and am going to work on making the psmf meals more exciting. Onward and upward forward but never straight. Good luck on your journey. 😊

I ventured into Keto last April while I was getting Neurofeedback therapy to help my brain heal from a past TBI. Everything came together and I felt AMAZING for the first time in 6+ years. I came out of keto in August, and I've now come to the full realization that I should just stick with keto. So today is day 1, and I'm looking forward to feeling good again.

[@brittanyromanov6287]

I’ve been keto for 5 years now. I was able to come off of antidepressant and anxiety medications, as well as two medications for my Rheumatoid Arthritis. I have zero inflammation, clear skin, and feel incredible everyday. I did a year of carnivore, which I enjoyed, but now I do a low carb, low fat, high protein version that’s helped me to really lean out and feel my most optimal. Keto is absolutely sustainable and can be tweaked and dialed in depending on your bodies needs, goals, and season of life.

I had to start tracking in chronometer . I watch my mood & sleep as I track .I need dark berries & kefir before bed . I take magnesium as well . I got very malnourished in October finally gained ten lbs and keeping it on with eating more calories , quit caffeine and added breakfast .I need about 1800-2500 calories a day . I was drinking coffee all day and eating a pound of ground beef or nothing at all .that’s why I was plummeting weight now I’m eating a lot and often . Stopped fasting . Feeling so much better . Diet is beef, lamb , avocado , cucumber , onion , garlic , dark berries, raw milk , kefir and that’s all

Dear Maria, quick question, I tend to eat big salads sometimes especially rocket and iceberg I really do like them. I always hear you talk about total carbohydrates not net. Does this apply to leafy greens too? And why. Thanks.

Hi Maria, I’m 57 and began my journey with keto approximately five years ago with my primary goal of preventing Alzheimer’s, and dementia, which is extremely prevalent on both sides of my family. So is longevity. Seven-year-old grandmother just passed away in December 20 twenty3, and was physically very healthy, but couldn’t even tell you her name due to Alzheimer’s. Long story short, my short term memory had already been getting really bad and this has completely resolved. Now my goal is to prevent ever getting, one of these cognitive diseases. I am 56 and when I started this I was at my heaviest weight of 143 pounds. In August 20 20 I did super strict keto and OMAD And got down to 119 and 20% body fat. I currently am 27% body fat and 125 pounds. I’m going to try doing less fat and more protein and see what happens.

[@MariaEmmerich]

That is great! But I do not recommend OMAD, especially in women. Make sure you are getting adequate protein :)

[@BrookeBullmasterStewart]

I think the thing that amazed me most about eating mostly all protein is that I found out I am not an overly emotional person. I’m actually pretty even and like one comment said above, it can pretty much wipe out mild depression. Even in the men in my family, I see that when they eat mostly protein, there’s not a lot of depression there or just general “blues”. I appreciate your suggestion of eating leaner proteins when you still need to lose weight, because so many times with keto advice they say to add a bunch of fat or to eat fattening meats. I know we need some fat, but I’d rather burn the fat in my body as I still have about 100 pounds to lose. Thank you again for everything you do!

I have been keto since 2013. My children are both adopted. I made their formula using Westin a price methods and then switched them to keto as much as possible. My son is autistic and also had pyloric stenosis so has some feeding challenges however. He was 0.3 on the weight chart and 12% height chart. He is now almost six and is 96% height and 84% weight. He is thriving. Even though he still has some autism traits people are generally shocked if I tell them he’s autistic. He is friendly, loves to give affection and his meltdowns are much fewer and far between. Our daughter is mid 80 on height and weight, extremely intelligent and active. I think it has done them both a world of good and my being keto really does help me to be a better mother physically and emotionally. The biggest non weight related change I have found is the fact that I wake up on my own before my alarm and want to get up. That has never happened since I was a child.

I have been on and off(more off) Keto for 3 years. Keep trying and giving up. Mostly because I was sensitive or allergic to everything that was on a typical Keto diet. Most sweeteners were corn based(allergic to corn), couldn't tolerate dairy, I am allergic to nuts, and sensitive to coconut! I was getting frustrated being on the diet for months at a time and only losing 5 pounds. I recently went Carnivore and lost 10k pounds in a couple months. Better, but not great. Going to do some fat fast days and see if that makes a difference, although I am already doing mostly lower fat. I am optimistic this time, that it will work.

The Coffee-Mate sugar free creamers have soybean oil and maltodextrin in them if anyone is still using those.

[@MariaEmmerich]

So gross!😝

[@jensss.]

Yep, and coffee mate is the only creamer my in-laws use. I don’t even think they have any dairy in them, (maybe non fat milk, which isn’t good either), I always point out they are made with seed oil and I even buy them different creamers to try. For example, a Dairygold creamer made with only cream and *some* sugar - no seed oil. I know sugar isn’t good either BUT for the sake of just cutting out seed oils and fake ingredients, I’d like them to at least try the creamer with 2 ingredients and not 50. They still prefer the coffee mate. Ugh. 😩

I was 1year on keto, lost 15kg felt super good…exept of the fact of having to control every meal… within 3 months I regained the 15kg back😔super sad and tired… now I give it an other try again…knowing that it worked on the past but also aware and scared about falling back into the jojo effect... Any similar experiences, any helpful advies? Thanks

[@MariaEmmerich]

Focus on your why; why you started this journey to begin with. Think about how GOOD you feel when you stay on track, and how you feel when you do not 🙏

[@allie9462]

Such great wisedom and info from your years of experience! Carnivore has helped me in every way. I just recently bought the further foods collagen peptides you reccomend and noticed it helped so much with sleep! Is this placebo or real?

[@MariaEmmerich]

Wonderful! Not sure if it's the collagen, but I am SO glad you are sleeping better. Quality sleep is king!

After a few attempts with carnivore I lost 40 lbs from Jan 2023 to August 2023, nothing since then. I am 64 years old, have zero menopause symptoms, but my sleep isn't good and I still have 100 lbs to loose. Any advice?

Homemade beef jerky is the best if you snack on that as Maria suggested but pls be careful if you want to buy it. I have learned recently many brands, even the brand that says ZERO SUGAR on it has maltodextrin which is worse than sugar.

I've been keto for 14 years and mostly carnivore now. Everything in my life is better and I'm healthier and happier at 50 than I've ever been. I've finally reached my goals but am now trying to figure out how to reincorporate dairy without gaining weight. It's been so long I'm not used to it anymore. Any tips on how to start adding it back?

[@MariaEmmerich]

Just reintroduce slowly and see how you do. If you gain, you know you need to cut it back out ;)

High protein keto gives me high blood sugar for hours in the morning. What should I do?

[@craigemmerich]

What are your blood sugar levels? A little higher blood sugar isn’t always bad. If it leads to more fat loss then you are going in the right direction. Also, if you increase protein but don’t also lower the fat, that will lead to higher blood sugars in the morning. Cut the fat a bit when increasing protein.

What do people do to get enough vitamin c when eating mostly protein and lower fats, carbs?

[@MariaEmmerich]

The amount of Vitamin C needed is directly linked to how many carbohydrates are in your diet. So people on a well formulated low carb diet naturally do not need as much vitamin C and therefore usually satisfy the requirement with their regular diet without the need for supplements :)

I have been trying to do Ketovore- eating mostly meat and minimal salad and veges. My Rheumatoid Arthritis is so much better, hardly ever have pain, it's amazing! I struggle with sugar cravings and I am challenged by family who I live with that eat cakes, chocolates etc and leave them in the fridge or on the kitchen counter where I can see them. I ma normally strong but now and again will eat something I know I shouldn't. I am trying to give up Sprite-Zero Sugar as I think this is stalling my weight loss. I want and need to lose weight now to become healthier and stronger. Any advice on resisting the food others eat that is left right in-front of you? Thanks for all you do Maria, you are wonderful!♥

Just started keto a few weeks ago, already down 15lbs (started at 225lbs 6'4") and looking to get to maybe 175-180lbs or so, then go into a more maintain and strengthen. I think my largest issue so far, besides the worry of my gout and HBP, was the lack of snacks as I am on THC for backpain, from just wrecking my body in sports young, and then abusing said body with drink (was going to be a brewer) and just steak and potatoes for like a decade. WHO WOULD HAVE KNOWN that drinking all beer and eating nothing but steak and potatoes would get you gout !?!?!? 9.9 Anyways, since starting, I got through the start with my allopurinol to make sure no gout flares started, and I have kept on 300mg of it since (normal dosage for me), but seeing the effects after I got into Ketosis and I guess it started to burn the uric acid, my usually affected parts have been pain free completely, no swelling... an occasional "warm feeling", gout sufferers know the one before a possible flare, but that is all, just a minor warm feeling, perhaps from eating too much red beef (like ribeye!) in a day, but *NO* flares at all! My avg heart rate has increased, but my blood pressure seems to be normal, or "healthy" as the doc says. I plan to get blood taken sometime later to check on all my levels of... well everything, but mostly my uric levels and cholesterol. Enough jabber, I found your videos when looking for something sweet that will not break the bank or the carbs. Really appreciate the videos!

Thanks for all this info. I am starting back on a strict(er) keto starting tomorrow and this really helps. BTW, your hair is beautiful all down like it is. Do you have a meal plan for keto people? I noticed the plan linked is for PSMF and I do NOT see the food list. 🤷🏻‍♀️

🌴 So I’ve been eating carnivore for at least a year, but the sugar and alcohol I have not quit totally. So I know this new year, like now, when I stop drinking and eating desserts, I’ll know I don’t need or want them in my life. Thx for all you do Maria, 💕My hubby is eating more meat but does desserts and alcohol, and we still use stevia. I’m yrs young, i play😮 Tai Chi, love exercise, and I know it will come. I had no health problems before. I just wanted to experiment. So any tips?

Can one successfully do keto ie be healthy and lose weight, being a vegetarian (lacto-ovo) or a pescatarian?

Yes, if you are willing to eat fish and eggs :)

Possibly, but you have to eat a lot of eggs to get enough protein on vegetarian diets.

I have done dirty keto before with varying results and then last April i decided to do carnivore with psmf days. My protein was always really high. But in August i still atarted to lose a lot of hair and hair loss went through ahout November. I am mot saying keto did that but any weight loss usually triggers telogen effluvium and there is nothing you can do for 3-6 months. Hair loss stopped and is coming back.

[@MariaEmmerich]

Yes, it is true that anytime weight loss occurs, especially rapidly, the body can do that. Glad it's growing back!

Until we're moving dairy. Now, Alllll I think about is food.... I miss cheese, Milk, Heavy Cream, Butter, Yogurt.... I miss it all. It's making eating very unenjoyable. I just feel sad. Even removing the dairy.... My weight loss has stalled In addition to This being an enjoyable way to live.

I started in October 23. I had come off Weight loss injections with only 2kg weight loss over 20 weeks. I was amazed about the real foods I could eat AND I lost 6 kg. I put on 2.5 the week after xmas and have started again to start losing. The week when I was half doing keto, I felt terrible. I have just gotten your free psmf meal plans. This time around without any plans, I have started fasting. I also am glad you mentioned, avocado's. I feel like I'm forced to eat them to get my fats in!

Thank you for the in depth clarification of the Keto do’s and don’ts as I was totally unaware of these issues and what to be most concerned about. I was waiting for your explanation of why to stay away from dairy when you mentioned the misconception of nuts and dairy?? What is about dairy I should look out for? What are your recommendations for dairy? Brilliant and invaluable advice!! 😊

[@MariaEmmerich]

You're welcome! Dairy and nuts are just very inflammatory, very nutrient dense (FAT and CALORIES with little protein) and don't satiate like animal protein. They can easily stall weight loss and slow or prevent healing if those are goals :)

[@pmm3112]

Thank you for answering my questions! You definitely know your stuff!! It’s a relief to learn these things that nobody else is talking about or explaining!
