[@amyk6028]

I am 💯 on board with everything you say in this video! I am a Registered Nurse of 24 years and your pre- Keto story is shockingly close to mine. I was so sick and it progressively got worse and worse and came to a head after I had my second child at 35. Doctors were giving me no help at all. They just said “Increase your fiber and take this pill.” Shameful. I only found true relief when I went dairy free clean Keto. I will never go back to the SAD. Thank you for telling this to the world! I hope everyone will LISTEN ❤

Hi Shelly, I enjoyed watching your testimony. I'm a few years older than you; I went to Emory in Atlanta for my dietetic internship in the 90s. Oh boy, you hit the nail on the head with all the fat-free craziness. Snack wells, "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray", Lean Pockets! One of our rotations was at Coke Headquarters- promoting how great Coke is... my eyes have been opened since then. What a deceptive government scam the food guidelines are. Anyway, I wanted to thank you, and I look forward to watching more of your content.

I just discovered you today after searching for belly bloat. I just subscribed. I was up to over 180 at 5’4”. No matter what I did, plant based, vegan, Mediterranean diet, I couldn’t shed the pounds. Then I decided to try keto and I lost 25 pounds in one month. I stuck with it for almost a year and a half now and I’m at my goal weight, 130-135. I still have a problem with belly bloat though. I think it’s due to my using sugar alcohols in my morning coffee along with heavy cream. I’m looking forward to more of your videos. Edited to add: I went from a size 16 to a size 6. I’m loving this and want to stick with it.

more and more people are doing it and now we know that when you hit your amino acid requirements for the day you won't be hungry.

[@KJB0001]

@@ct7513 Totally agree. Nuts are carby and you can't have just 9. Carnivore is awesome and great for a full lifestyle change (Kelly Hogan/Dr. Cwyes) or just for a plateau. Protein snacks or even the PSMF bread (as toast) from Maria Emmerich with a savory compound butter might work if meat sounds boring.. My daughter is a carnivore (meat, fish, salts, ghee, mineral supplements) and she snacks on bacon wrapped shrimp crisped up in the air fryer. Five frozen shrimps (from the bag) quickly chilled in hot tap water, then wrapped in a half piece of bacon and cooked til crisp. I add a sliver of Pepper Jack and fresh jalapeno to make Shrimp Brochette. Her appetite is tiny because she hits her amino acid reqs early in the day, so she inadvertently does two meals a day. She looks super lean and her body fat DEXA'd at 13%. She rarely does more than Steady State Cardio (zone 2) for workouts. Also, Quest Tortilla Style Protein Chips. They're keto junk food, so I only take them to movie theatres or friends' houses when I know keto junk food won't be available. My husband LOVES 45o5 Chicharrones (pork rinds) in the green bag- Jalapeno Cheddar. Other brands are pretty nasty, IMHO.

@@dietitianshelly I have not tried radishes that way, though I cooked them in with a roast. Delish! I don’t like turnips at all but maybe I’ll get brave and try them! I’ve boiled daikon and then made like an augratin potatoes sub with them. I’m. It sure if they would broil well or not

I also have hourglass shape lol but according to my BMI im overly Obese and I have alway been! Simce little they told me all grow and ill change but im still "obese"

Waist to height ratio is way more important in health standards - it is so sad we still use BMI.

The SAD diet is criminal. I learned how CAFO meat still isn't enough on Keto. Ya gotta go grass-fed, grass finished, pastured, or line-caught. Chickens need to eat the bugs or they are worthless to humans. When cows eat grains and not grass, their histamines are very high and then we eat it! Also, for satiety- when you hit your amino acid requirements for the day you won't be hungry. So low insulin and high amino acid is the secret to how keto works. Or a PSMF. Fiber is NOT essential to humans so don't force yourself to eat it.

[@dietitianshelly]

So true - SAD is a DISASTER!!!!! So glad I walked away from it :)

Are your clients able to lower their cholesterol and blood sugar in line with this eating plan?

[@dietitianshelly]

Yes - very much so since we focus on fiber and omega 3 rich fats.

[@shirleymatos9055]

@@dietitianshelly I have consulted with a plant based nutritionist a couple of months ago and she said no nuts avocados or nut butters. Basically only fruits and vegetables. No oil and only a small amount of grains. I am a small person anyway and did not need to lose weight and I have lost even more weight because I have nothing left to eat. I am so confused!

[@dietitianshelly]

@@shirleymatos9055 Seems like they took a vegan route with your plan. Do you enjoy it? Are you benefiting from it health and energy wise? If not, you look in the description box and download the menu plan I have!

@@dietitianshelly def the vegan route. I am not enjoying it but I am so afraid to eat meat as I am afraid it will raise my cholesterol and blood sugar more. Do you do online consults?

I've been on and off the wagon between low carb and ketogenic. I've recently got motivated ( pissed and disgusted 🤣) to do something different because I have plateau on all levels. I gave to have Meat and vegetables. Oh and garlic,onions and herbs. 😀 A large salad triggers me big time so I don't mind a side salad but It does not fill me up and it gives me digestive issues especially lettuce. Now there are different kinds of salads that don't include rice and pasta that actually illuminate lettuce and I can handle those but not on a daily basis it's too much. My favorite go-to veggies are steam broccoli and brussel sprouts. I would put a small amount of butter on it coat it and it's delicious with whatever meat I want with how much ever animal fat I want which is usually much but enough to give it taste. I have to have spices and herbs to season my food. I'm rebooting as of today I'm a document my changes. I know this video is a year old but appreciate it. And I received your apologies in place of the insane dietitians and RNs that treated me and we're outright wrong! I remember being at a training thing for diabetes and they gave us a whole meat sandwich and baked potato chips for lunch 🤦 My sugar shot to 249. What the hell is wrong with the medical! 🤦 community?! So here's to reboot.

[@dietitianshelly]

Do we do 34 grams carbs for each meal? And how much fiber?

[@dietitianshelly]

35 grams of fiber or higher!!!!

[@Brode77]

Thank you for being honest. As southern women we are taught to be nice and trust the physicians. Yeah, no. Only I can effectively advocate for my health. You can do it nicely but no one else can do it for you. I trust but verify when it comes to the billion dollar healthcare system in the US.

[@dietitianshelly]

I always tell individuals ‘we know our own body better than anyone!’ - second opinions are absolutely fine! Big hugs!

[@Катнип]

It's too bad because for those of us who are poor this doesn't work. Most of the food donated is things like pasta, rice and bread. I don't have the option to say no i want something else. If i say no to the carbs i won't get anything else instead. 😢
