I had lost 33lbs on keto and naturally most of my coworkers asked me how I did it. I simply told them that I cut out sugar. First reaction from most were that they didn’t drink soda or eat candy and so they couldn’t cut out sugar. However most of them were eating fruit all day long and having large fruit bowls after lunch. When I mentioned this they said but that was healthy sugar.

I think the biggest difference is you gotta digest that fruit in order to get the sugar from it.Thus it takes time and your body is probably using that sugar by the time whole process is finished. On the other hand eating or drinking something processed means you can transfer that sugar to your bloodstream waaaaaaaaay faster. It is not just about how much sugar you consume,it is also about how fast you consumed it. Think it like getting drunk. If you drink in one sit you are more likely to be drunk compared to drinking all day long but little by little.

True, Ken. But once you start eating lower carb and avoiding sugar, fruit seems like a junk food that stimulates hunger. I used to eat a lot of fruit. Not any more. Vegetables seem attractive while fruit seem dangerous and a slippery slope.

fruit was essential to fatten us up originally - fatten up to last the winter then hunt game in the summer - it is unnatural to have fruit available all year round

[@martinirving3824]

he he, be careful saying "essential." There is no essential carbohydrate. But you make a good point. Originally it would have been a seasonal thing, if at all. Now, with fossil fuels and modern transportation, people can indulge year around, even in Northern climates. People can even do absurd practices like a fruitarian diet (which is the fastest way to tooth destruction known to humans). Another factor is the modern fruit has been selectively bred to grow larger, with more sugary flesh and few or no seeds. Then these fruits are marketed as healthy. Well, sorry, fruit is very much overrated and will certainly not negate the effects of an already nutrient-poor diet.

[@daw7773]

Fruit did not cause your heart attack it was the Standard American Diet(SAD) that caused the arteries in your heart to become occluded preventing proper blood flow. People all over the world and those living in "Blue zones" (high percentage over 100 yrs old) eat high fruit and complex carb diet. NO Blue zone area exist where the population consume high animal diet. Why? Although people in these areas eat small amount of meat(e.g. Okinawa, Japan) they eat mostly complex carbs(e.g. rice, fruit, beans). Also, Americans have created a highly stressful societal environment "rat race" in an effort to accumulate material things aka "keeping up with the jones". Stress causes inflammation throughout the body and the heart is no exception. The inflammation in heart arteries can cause spasms which narrows the heart arteries. Therefore, some particles(e.g. cholesterol, plaque) in the blood are not able to flow through the temporarily "smaller" artery and "stick" to the artery inner surface......until partial or complete occlusion(heart attack). Other cardiac problems are highly influenced by genetics factors for example scientist don't know why but 20% of the U.S population do not efficiently metabolize cholesterol. Therefore, the liver produce most of the cholesterol (800mg/day) the body needs, additional cholesterol intake(e.g. food) should done cautiously for people with a genetic disposition for hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol).

[@mariobfitness6032]

Well most of the cells in our body can't actually process fructose so it's most completely metabolised in the liver essentially the liver converts fructose to energy this energy can't leave because of its molecular makeup and if there's any excess fructose after the energy conversion the liver stores it as glycogen which can be broken down into glucose and sent to other cells for use, the liver can only store so much glycogen once it's fully stocked the extra fructose is used to create triglycerides which can be moved outside of the liver for long-term storage as fat so based on this fruits which contain a lot of fructose must be bad? well actually no not at all fruits are loaded with water fiber and other nutrients so they take a while to digest therefore their fructose hits deliver. fructose is not unhealthy when it's consumed in moderation in the form of whole foods like fruits and vegetables.

[@jefferstangier]

Dr Boz, please address: what difference does the fiber make? I am finding a lot of Keto advice that says to go with the "net carbs" when pursuing ideal macros which means subtracting grams of fiber from grams of carbohydrate as if the carbs balanced by fiber "magically" just aren't there (?) Does this make any sense? (Especially with regard to fruit)

[@rageonyx]

By definition "fiber" is the stuff you can't digest. It doesn't count because it's just like if you ate sand or swallowed a penny. It doesn't affect your blood and it just passes through until you poop it out. But for whatever reason, in North America when they do nutrition labels, they add the amount of fiber into the carbohydrate total. What fiber does do is it acts like a sponge, so that some of the nutrition from food (like a fruit) takes longer to get into you because it has to get squeezed out first. Also, more fiber means more farts and bigger poops.

[@williamdavidhilton6659]

@@rageonyx Fiber is cellulose, a type of sugar. Cellulose prevents us from absorbing plant protein because we can not break down cellulose. Plant nutrients are not in the proper ratios for the formation and activation of vitamin complexes. We get no nutrition from plant material, whether veggie or fruit. We get sugar and other non-nutrient elements which are toxic to us. The only thing that keeps you alive is animal products. If you eat plant material, the best you can hope for is that it won't harm you too much.

If I have two apples, one apple sitting on top of the kitchen counter and the other apple is placed in a 400° oven for 10 minutes, these two apples are now very different. The apple sitting on top of the counter is actually healthy still. The apple that has been exposed to an extreme temperature now contains “processed” sugars (cooked) and is unnatural, unhealthy, and unrecognizable to the human body. Heat (as well as light and oxygen) harm vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. This is one of the first things you learn when studying nutrition. But it’s almost never talked about in the media (tv news, newspapers, magazines,etc), and this is why disease and obesity still persist.

@Vandana Uniyal, I'll offer an explanation. Genetics and the type of diet you were brought up on. I guess you're fasting blood sugar is 74 because that's pretty low by my standards. I'm of northern european descent exclusively. As a biohacker, of sorts, I've keto-adapted - there are ketones in my blood all the time. My fasting glucose tends to run higher than it did, often in the 90's (sometimes known as a "dawn effect" as the liver easily makes glucose). I also speculate this is simply because my body just doesn't use a lot of glucose. The brain and central nervous always require some, or prefer some, but the rest of the body is happy to run on fat. I also speculate that, because my fasting glucose typically isn't low, I rarely feel hunger, and certainly never ravenous hunger. I can easily go all day without food, while doing physical labor. I really enjoy this type of metabolic flexibility. BTW, my fasting insulin is less than 1.0 units.

So you speak about tablespoons but your captions say tsp (teaspoons), which is confusing. I think you meant to say teaspoons all the time, not tablespoons. (Edit: Oh I see you mentioned your mistake in your writing box). Also I tend not to agree about your take on fruit. It's definitely an overreaction to call fruit evil! I think it's healthy in moderate quantities, just like everything we consume should be in moderate quantities, including protein, fats, carbs, sugars, sodium etc. Yes fruit contains it's sugars but is natural and wholefoods and comes with fibre to aid digestion as well as packed with essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. It's the evil processed food we have to watch out for way more than that apple or fruit salad.

Your sister is right. There are literally dozens of RCTs that proves this. And the fiber in fruit actually prevents most of the fructose to be absorbed through the cell walls in your intestine. Also, fructose is converted to glucose and then glycogen. Only once you exaust your liver and muscle stores, will it be converted to fat. So basically everything you said is wrong.

Then make a meal plan that centers around what YOUR cravings are at those times, and find healthier options of what you want .

What happened to a good healthy balanced way of eating. There are no secrets to eating, eating a lot of fruit and vegetables with sources of whole grain carbohydrates, some good fats and protein is only going to do you good. Also when you digest fat it is stored as fat. When you consume a lot of fructose sure fructolysis produce a lot of acetyl CoA which then can be converted to fat if not used in respiration and similar for glucose (although glycolysis is more controlled), yet why are carbohydrates deemed so bad for weight gain even though lipids are absorbed and stored straight into adipose tissue while ‘sugars’ go through various chemical reactions until it can no be readily used and then it can be converted to fat. Also fats are not a preferred fuel source for the body, in order for our bodies to respire (which allows us to function optimally) lipids have to be converted into glucose through gluconeogenesis which requires energy to do so. If ketosis is such an optimal state for humans to be in, based on how complex our bodies have evolved it would surely have been natural to be in that state if it is so advantageous to our health. No one is getting obese eating 3 balanced meals a day with a lot of fruit and vegetables. The obesity epidemic is not caused by people eating too much fruit😂

Birds are essentially avian dinosaurs and have needed to become omnivores in order to survive, let alone thrive countless seasons. Fair point, we are assumed to live for 280 seasons on average, and not one single calendar year. So, on that basis, we might need to share that bunch of grapes to keep glucose level in check. But give up entirely, I'm still going to enjoy enjoy a kiwi fruit for example. Just with olive oil and a sprinkle of cocoa to reduce glycaemic index; plus promote absorption of key components. That said, I truly appreciate her passion for positive change.

I’m a physical trainer for boomers and older. Thank you for you explanation(s)!!!!

Noticed you kept mixing up teaspoons and tablespoons. 5 grams carbs is NOT a tablespoon sugar.

[@deborahbailey292]

1 tsp = 4 carbs

[@MrCrispypata]

This is something I would disagree. Fruits and vegetables have helped me to be healthy.

[@gabrielkasouras9586]

Doctor . Why is sugar destructive while fruits save? Sugars are divided into categories. There are monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. That is, we are dealing with a spectrum that starts from simple structures, up to very complex ones. Of all this range, however, the ideal source of carbohydrates for humans is MONOSaccharides. The ultimate source of monosaccharides is fruit! We are made to eat fruit sugars, as a primary and basic food

To the sugar that got stored in my body today: "Hello good sir. Staying in the usual place? Right this way..."

[@Radnally]

Sugar is trouble. Period. For some reason, a lot of people have difficulty understanding that although fruit and other plant products have many positive aspects, they also contain sugar.

[@AmazingStoryDewd]

So what? I will not allow others paranoia of sugar ruin a healthy diet that includes fruits.

[@anthonycrosby8050]

Sounds very sensible to me well done doc👍

[@anthonycrosby8050]

Nicki Styles eat fruit seasonally 🥩🐷🐔🐠🦀🦞🦐🐑🥑😘

[@anthonycrosby8050]

Nicki Styles Dear Nicki we evolved eating meat 🥩 because it nourishes our brain 🧠 hearts ♥️ bones 🦴 ect 😊 and most of all it’s available 12/12 fruit 🍇 however tasty 😋 just wasn’t, only 2/12 so when you add it all up we would have become extinct waiting for those Granny Smiths xx just saying 😊

[@anthonycrosby8050]

Nicki Styles Hi Nicki Hope you are well just to let you know if I need to catch a mammoth or two I will bring my friends with me perhaps chase him over a cliff and then eat him that’s why there are no mammoth left because I had loads of friends and we are all hungry for meat honestly I’m not actually, too tall I can run several miles a day cycle many miles a day all because I nourish my body well I don’t expect to have a heart attack in the near future I hope you don’t either try looking up the carnivore diet it’s a revelation but if you don’t want to that’s fine anyway stay well keep safe 😘

[@anthonycrosby8050]

Is the Ketogenic diet safe for people under weight? I’m trying to get the excess sugars out of his diet but we don’t want him to lose weight. He’s an adult by the way.

[@narcsinart7179]

It is safe for some, but you need to know what the underlying problem is. An underweight adult eating excess sugar could be a type 1 diabetic, undiagnosed, and would need insulin no matter what diet.

[@teinalucas598]

Wow! Lots of negativity here. So sorry to see. I get what you're saying : we need very little sugar and some fruits are actually so loaded with sugar that they rival the sugar load of a candy bar. Maybe they're "evil" bcs we belive them to be healthy and we're being deceived. My take anyway.

[@milanjerkic]

fruit has finer and fructose is stored in a liver.. so if your liver is healthy and if u have no weight gain, no problem..

[@ministerjap8910]

You idiot

[@1987sizzle]

Loool you re do stupid

[@1FoundSheep]

Thank you Dr. Boz. I realize this video is a few months old so I don't know if you'll see this but keep up the good work. We indeed are living in some strange days. If you where to do a video on meat being evil I doubt it would raise and eyebrow. It's always hard to go against the flow of what the common consensus among the masses seems to be. Many people find fault with the doctors because it was they who continually repeated to their patients the dietary Dogma that has been accepted since Ancel Keys. Now there are some in the medical community who are bucking that trend and they get it from both sides. They get it from the medical establishment which refuses to investigate the tremendous escalation I'm suffering that has been caused by their bad advice. They get it from the everyday person who had this message repeated to them over and over as they just continued to get sicker and sicker. Thank you for caring enough to try and rectify what has going on for the last 50 plus years. I myself I am now having to forgo all sugar or foods that turn into sugar in my body in order to try and maintain some semblance of a normal healthy life. This equates to a zero carb diet, as much as that as possible for me. This means for me sugar is evil. I have found by experience (as can anyone ) that I need no exogenous forms of sugar of any kind to be healthy. Too the contrary, any starch or sugar tends to wreak havoc in my system. This does not mean that I advocate or advise this to anyone else. Just to those who are sick or suffering due to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables, oh and a plethora of grains in their diets and became wrecked by this advice. Keep on keeping on Dr. Boz.

Please see an actual doctor, she is wrong

[@BladeBarn]

Nice yacht master! instant credibility

[@Murasak3y]

a healthy liver can deal with fructose with no issues. She's acting as if glucose and fructose follow the same metabolic pathways, when they do not. Fructose is metabolized solelyby the liver and small intestine, while glucose can be used by every cell in the body. If you're not ingesting excess amounts of glucose, your body will know when to convert sugary into glucose and when to convert it into glycogen, the stored version of glucose. Fruit also has fiber and fat soluble antioxidants that benefit the body's health. Glucose will go straight into the blood, fructose will not immediately enter the blood. I believe she is mistaken on this.
