Hey have you tried? Dietary Fiber .... TLDR hunter-gatherers 70-80% of their diets come from Dietary Fiber rich foods. 100-150 grams of dietary fiber per day. We, people in industrialized nations get 10-15 grams of dietary fiber day. !?!? Our bodies have evolved to sustain itself for millions of years with a fiber rich diet...... gut bacteria play a major unrecognized role in our health and chronic illness(if we do not eat the right foods).

@@harrynac6017 That's very smart. I had a similar tactic to avoid gaining weight over the holidays. I would visit and stay with family for the christmas days (we celebrate christmas eve on the 24th, then the first day and second day of christmas on the 25th and 26th), the days around christmas days, new years eve and usually another day. I'd go back home in the first week of January and weigh myself like normal and I would often have gained 2.5 kg which would take me 2 months to lose. The last 2 years I had a plan that worked very well for me. For every meal we had (we would typically eat twice a day) I could eat whatever I liked but I had to start with a soup (usually a clear soup like chicken soup) and have a salad (salad greens, some tomato, bit of olive oil and vinegar). Then I would also eat the other options available at the family meals until I was satiated. That included things like stewed dried fruits, lamb, ice cream for dessert, a cookie with some tea, and oliebollen (doughnuts without holes typically eaten on new years eve, very old dutch recipe). I never felt like I was missing out on anything because technically I was allowed to eat everything. But of course as you can imagine you will eat less of the fattening stuff if you've already had soup and salad. We would also go on walks if the weather allowed it to look at all the beautiful christmas decorations in the neigborhood. I'd weigh myself before going away for christmas and at the end of the first week of the year. The first year I did this I actually weighed less at the end of the first week of the year than I did just before christmas. I was so surprised. Second year my weight was exactly the same. I consider that a win.

We had my 5 year old son on keto for years for his severe uncontrolled epilepsy (averaging 100 seizures a day, 1000+ on his worst days). It was highly managed by a children's hospital, with every meal being prescribed by the doctors. He had to be in the hospital for the first week to induce ketosis because of the severe side effects of the keto flu. We checked his blood 2x a day to monitor his actual ketones to make sure he was in proper range. Monthly bloodwork and doctor's appointments to make sure he was developing properly and getting all of his nutrients. It was intense, but worth it because we finally got some form of seizure control & stability. This is after we had failed to get seizure control from 8 different anti-epileptic medications. BUT we had to take him off of the diet after 2 years because of the liver side effects. Most epilepsy medication is processed through the liver, CBD is processed through the liver, and keto hits the liver really hard as well. We were looking at liver failure for him before he hit his teenage years, which is more terminal than his current rare disease that causes the seizures. So we made the difficult choice to come off the diet in order to preserve his longterm health. Keto is good, but unfortunately, it has some severe drawbacks. Thanks for highlighting them in the video!

I really never understood the naysayers. In short, your eating too many carbs. There's a political history as to why you are eating so much more carbs today than your grandparents did before the 1990's. Then you have research papers coming out that shows those seed oils that usually accompany those yummies aren't so good for the human body. Then there's the "too strict" argument. Sure. It is a strict diet for anyone dealing with addiction. That was me. I'm an addict and I know it. "In moderation" never worked for me. #Keto did. Lost 100lb back in 2017. It has stayed off. I went #carnivore back in 2022. All my blood work (LOTS OF BLOOD WORK) checks out. My LDL is on the high side but everything else is right. I'm comfortable taking this risk. There's plenty of reasons why someone practicing low carbs shouldn't be concerned about high LDL when everything else looks great. If you're overweight and over 35, I would recommend blood work 6 months in. See your Doctor get a referral to see a cardiologist and get plenty of blood work done. Get your CAC score. Prioritize your health over yummy snacks.

I've been in strict ketosis for medical reasons for two years. It worked really well to treat my condition. It was not my goal to lose weight. It took about a year to get used, not physiologically, but in terms of learning how to live: cooking, recipes, eating out, etc. It's been interesting, and it's hard work, but the alternative for me is to be really really ill, so I'm motivated. I don't think it's suitable for WheezyWaiter, who tends to want to do something for a month and talk about it. It takes *years*, in my opinion, to change your life enough.

Yep, I remember a girl studying medicine and "eating" vegetarian.. basically she was eating lots of soy stuff, fried soy.. etc..you would expect she knew what she was doing.. so wrong.. so she always had herpes around her mouth.. she was white like a ghost. Why am I saying this? Because people who dont have years of studying and a deeper understanding of how body, procceses work, THEIR OWN BODY work and enough knowledge of nutrition and dietetics, go often EXTREEME. This is a geeneral rule in life for people to go extreme rather than balanced, take the middle way, act normal, being rational and appeal to common sense. To listen and get to know their body. So often people do mistakes. All of these took me years of knowledge, studying and so on. And then you guys coming with these bullshit information and get subscribes, likes and put people in error. It takes time to undestand the art of eating and tranaforming you body and do healthy changes in metabolism. Not even dieticians/nutritionists are able to deliver correct knowledge and cause people these problems. Damm, these woke people, they re funny. So to me, this video is just another extreme reaction. To state that you lose " feeling" in an arm because of this, to put things in such a simple minded manner. This girl is taking her time to tell those words. It s easy to go wrong when you have not enough knowledge. Im sorry not to believe what, you deliver here. Guess what, everything can be harmfull, ill you, numb or whatever you say there. This video lacks a lot. You and that girl talk so brifly and without anything sustainable to support your afirmations. And you want people to take you serious? Get out of here 😂😂

I lost 90lbs on keto, and I felt fantastic. It also helped me consume less alcohol because when you're on keto you become a real lightweight. The problem came when I realized how weak I was, so I started working out and lifting weights. Some people say that they feel great working out on keto, but that wasn't my experience. I came off and saw massive strength gains. I've gained weight, but not back to where I was, but I've managed to stay relatively lean because I put on a lot of muscle. I do need to drop some lbs, and keto actually helped me understand better how to read food labels and understand nutrition. I just know that I'm going to lose some strength when I lose weight, so I wasn't in a big hurry to start.

This was my experience, too. I felt pretty good on keto and my acid reflux as well as bloating basically went away. I did notice that I became faint a lot faster when working out, so I started adding sweet potatoes to my diet and upping my protein. I think a low carb rather than no carb is more sustainable. The thing that made the biggest change though was learning nutrition and reading the food labels. I feel like this needs to be mandatory in schools so kids grow up healthier.

Keto generally reduces strength but increases endurance. Glucose can be burned much faster and thus produce more quick energy allowing for more explosive power from your muscles, but it runs out quickly. Meanwhile ketones are burned more slowly but you have an essentially unlimited supply since it can just pull more from your body fat, so you have higher endurance.

I have to admit when I had seen the original results about his pre-diabetes I was baffled, especially as he also had a slight iron deficiency. I realized Mom would sometimes cook the pinto beans in the same water they were soaked in. It's better to cook in fresh water to reduce the phytic acid, which interferes with proper nutrient absorption. Also, Dad wasn't just eating one or two servings at a time - he could easily cover a plate in beans and go back for seconds or thirds. Each cup of cooked beans is about 25 net grams of carbs - he had several cups in one meal, and usually for both lunch and dinner. His one other habit was drinking a single glass of 2% milk with one spoonful of NesQuik in the morning as breakfast. Cutting that out didn't do anything. Reducing the beans did. That freed up space for other foods - the leafy greens and lean proteins I mentioned.

I would wager that, as she lost fat mass, caffeine consumption mixed with any meds she might have been taking mixed with what her fat cells were releasing may have caused this. If she tried keto again she should severely reduce her caffeine intake and if she is taking stimulant medications she may need to reduce those as well.

Yes, reducing caffeine and drinking lots of water is important. I understand it's hard for a lot of people to commit, but I wouldn't say it's overly restrictive or unsustainable. You have to approach it as a lifestyle change, rather than treating it like a diet. You also have to be careful about all of the other things you're taking when losing body fat, including caffeine and medications. I like doing "lazy keto" where the recipes are super simple, but still low carb/high fat. I also take magnesium to help with muscle ache.

Ketosis isn't the same as ketoacidosis, the first is natural and healthy. Every fetus and newborn of a healthy parent is in ketosis, it's the optimal state for a growing child to be in. Ketoacidosis is when the body is when the blood is becoming acidic from it happening way too much. Both are detected with the same tests. Just like drinking 2 liters of water is good and healthy, but drinking 7 liters of water has literally killed a woman. I have no doubt that whatever metabolic disorder your son has is dangerous and that makes it either impossible, or practically impossible, for them to try something like the keto diet. But that doesn't mean that Ketosis is bad, it simply is not. Ketoacidosis is typically what killed people with Type 1 diabetes prior to synthetic insulin, btw. I don't know if that's what is happening in this case, it's just a good common example of how Ketosis strips can be used to detect a runaway metabolic process. The strips only measure ketones in the saliva or urine after all, and is useful to make sure your LCHF/ketosis diet is balanced properly. Some can get in ketosis with as much as 15% carbs, others might have trouble at 2.5%.

It also got me to the best A1C's I've ever had (Type 1 Diabetic here) and due to the frequent bloodwork I get done as a result of being diabetic I was able to keep an eye on my cholesterol and while it was fine to begin with, it got better - lower bad cholesterol, higher good cholesterol, lower total cholesterol. I've since lightened up slightly to where its more on the very low carb side of things vs making sure I'm always 100% in ketosis. I take supplements to avoid that whole keto flu thing (only ever had it for 2 days) and I've been great.

The unique (and most appealing) thing I found about keto as a weight loss diet, was that it required no significant will power on my part. You just make plenty of no carb foods available, and eat whenever you’re hungry and however much you want. If your protein intake from doing this is too high, you can end up holding off actual ketosis due to your body making too much of its own sugar out of that protein, but this stops being a factor once your appetite falls naturally away by itself, and a no carb diet tends to induce this quite rapidly.

Thanks for the content. I might have been one of the KETO fanatics back then. I felt like I had seen the light. Still do, but less fanatic about spreading the anti-carb lifestyle now. My experience. Being former 140kg type2 diabetic and now 'cured' without any medicine is awesome. For me. I have mildly higher cholesterol* but Doc says it's preferable than consistent high bloodsugar. Eat more Fish and kale. My main reason for sticking to it however; that time I promised myself the usual McD drive-through reward on my way back from recycling, and mid-roundabout realised I didn't need or want it and kept going home instead. That kind of self-control I have never experienced before. I can now walk past shelves of snacks without impulse-purchases. I have high energy brain for 16 hours without need for eating, yet never a temper-tantrum. For me, the weight loss didn't sell it, it was reclaiming control from my carbs-addicted brain. I don't eat cake, but the mushrooms, pork rinds, cream, butter, gravy-bowl and cheese fondue all make up for it. I do MISS apple juice. My family learned to accept I skip on the potatoes and bread - in favour of the 'unhealthy' fat - once they saw the effect. To Wheezys point here, For all you beautiful regular sized bodies, I think it doesn't make as much sense to go try KETO. I had plenty of fat to burn (lost about 40ish kilograms between yearly diabetes checkins and I aim to keep myself level at about ~99 kg) (I also only ever use my Docs scales, so weight check is only once a year, weight-loss was never a goal). I do imagine if you do not have enough bulk to burn, no wonder it doesn't work. Besided, most normal bodies know how to burn both Fat and Carbs. KEEP it up. Problem is when you like me teach the body that all energy it ever need comes from the Carbs alone, then it grows lazy and stores fat and only burns the easier carbs for energy. That is where KETO comes in to force it to burn fat. It is slower (also why it sucks for all high intensity sport/activity). I go for 30-100 grams of carbs a day, using common sense and rough maths. If my body get too much carb it goes back to lazy. It is very much similar to addictions. I am a recovering carboholic ;) But yeah. Not for everyone, but I do love it. (Also. Artificial Sweeteners helps, unless you're worried about those as well).

I went on the keto diet because I was strugling with severe brain fog, lack of energy and depression after a year of cancer treatment and covid. It took exactly 4 terrible days for me to feel remarkably better. It was as if a weighted blanket was lifted off my shoulders. My mood drastically improved, my energy levels came back to normal and I was able to focus again. In my opinion you can eat very deliciously while on keto. All my meals were basically enormous brunches- I ate myself silly. Cravings for sweet stuff and bread etc really completely went away in no time. And I am a chocolate fan normally. The feeling of being hungry changed as well. Usually I would feel a need to eat or I would feel bad- blood sugar crashes probably. On keto, I would feel hungry-very simply. My energy levels were incredibly stable thoughout the day and I slept like a baby. My problem was that I lost too much weight so I decided to change to intermittend fasting which still allows my body to be in ketosis for lenghts of time everyday while eating much more varied. I still do IF and on a quite low cabs diet and I feel great. I am not super strict about it either. If I go out on weekends I eat as and when I want. That way it is not difficult at all.

I’ve had similar experiences with keto. It’s the only way of eating that seems to work for my body - reducing pain and inflammation, and losing weight easily. I even kept the weight off when I came out of ketosis, which has never happened with any other “diet”. I now eat low carb as a choice, but I’m not religious about it and will allow myself the odd piece of pizza or an ice cream. To me it’s about eating healthy food for MY body. 😊

I only did keto for 10 days, but in those 10 days this is what I experienced:my mouth felt cleaner than it ever has, and my teeth were the strongest & whitest they've ever been. My skin glowed like crazy and I literally looked 10 years younger. I'm 37 & ppl were telling me I looked like I was in my early 20's. I slept better and I had stages where my mind was super clear and stages where it was really fuzzy and groggy. I think I wasn't fat adapted yet and didn't give the diet long enough. I'm trying to get back into ketosis, because I truly believe it's the fountain of youth.

It does work. It works amazingly. I did keto (not even strictest kind) & the fat just melted off my body; in like 2.5months, I'd lost more than a 10th of my body-weight, felt the best I ever had, & was even starting to see abdominal "11 lines" (aka, feminabs) - all without exercising. It's absolute sorcery. I had to give it up bc we fell on hard times, & meat + coconut + avocados + cheese all are much more expensive than rice, potatoes & (dried) pasta. I also _really_ missed bread. I wouldn't characterise it as a bad experience _at all,_ (I was lucky enough to not even get keto 'flu while metabolically transitioning) but the increased grocery costs may be a barrier to entry to financially endangered ppl.😢

I've done keto and I feel amazing on it but the issue is it is so restrictive that if I'm doing ANYTHING outside of my house, it's a struggle. Also the weight bounce back SUCKS. I believe the answer (still working on it) is intermittent fasting and the occasional 24 hours fast (with walking and other light exercises). I told my friends it works and one of my friends had a really similar experience to your friend in the ER. I felt so bad I pushed (through my exuberant happiness) to try it and she was rushed to the ER. If Intermittent fasting doesn't work, maybe I'll invent a tool for my house that only allows me to get food if I sit on a bicycle or do some kind of hand wheel thing. Like our ancestors, they had to chase down a rabbit to eat, maybe cycling for 3 minutes for a snack will do the trick.

Keto has worked well for me to reverse what was effectivley a metabolic crisis (obese, unfit, brain fog, depression from 10+ years of over consumption and lack of movement). Once i felt my metabolism was "normal" (after ~12 months) I've tended to maintain a low-ish carb diet along with intermittent fasting. I defintely have cheat days for special occasions and I better understand how my body responds and have "tools" (e.g. fasting) to balancing things out. I'm also now running regularly and feel great and have kept the 36kg i lost off. So, in summary, I think keto is great to quickly reverse a crisis but full keto shouldn't be necessary once you're metabolically healthy.

I never went full keto, it's somewhere between keto and low carb, and that has been working great for me the last 5 years. The main goal since the start was to get healthier with something sustainable FOR ME. So, I adjusted the macros to allow for that sustainability (with expert help, of course). So, no grains/cereals (especially wheat & corn based) and other carb heavy stuff (like potatoes), but I decided to keep eating fruit (once a day if it was too sugary) and veggies for the vitamins/minerals/nutrients. I'm more flexible with rice now than when I started, but it's still a once in a blue moon thing. I've learned so much about how my body reacts to food since then, like which stuff gave me acne, what made me feel bloated, what gives me more energy through the day, etc. The point is: look for what is sustainable for YOUR body, make sure it's NUTRITIOUS, let yourself indulge once in a blue moon, and you're most probably golden :)

This resulted in weight gain and feeling worse but the vacation and incredible food made me let go. I regretted it from a weight and feeling good standpoint but not the experience standpoint. I did simple keto where I didn't count calories or any macros except carbs. Stayed under 50 total carbs a day and nothing else to consider. I also focused on whole foods and kept away from processed food or seed oils but not super strict just where and when I could. For me it is a lifestyle and pretty easy. If it is done as a diet temporarily it works but expect the return of weight and feeling worse during transition into and out of ketosis. Find a diet that is a way of eating daily not just for a period of time.

Because I, and the research at the time, didn't know that plant protein and essential vitamins are far less bioavailable than animal sources.

Agro industry as a whole, not just factory meat farms, are horrible. Plant based doesn't get a pass and is just as destructive if not more so in certain sectors. My contribution to the environment is growing animals and plants, hunting, and foraging my own food. I'm not a fan of any kind of large scale agriculture. Eat plants all you want, but unless you grow it yourself you are still contributing to environmental damage. If you eat organic, guess how they fertilize it? Animal waste from factory farms.

Realistically, unless you live in a rural community, you rely on industries, practices and infrastructure that are more harmful than the food industry. Cities and urban centers rely heavily on rare earth minerals that are mined with no environmental concerns by China, and have atrocious human rights violations. The amount of carbon emissions to make one vegan friendly "leather" belt is worse than my truck emissions in two months worth of driving. I'm not really trying to argue the merits of plant based, but I am arguing that its any worse than anything else people do without thinking about it.

Keto saved my life. I’m a type 2 diabetic who struggled for years and it kept getting worse. I did my own research, learned about how the insulin hormone actually works, the damage Hyperinsulinemia causes long term, and that a clean ketogenic could fix that. I did it and it worked. Lost over 140lbs (and have kept it off for years now), dropped my A1C from a 14.1 to a 5.4, got off my 5 medications, my cholesterol improved dramatically, and control my diabetes through diet alone now with no effort. Adding intermittent fasting turbo charged my results. I see a lot of comments on here saying people did it, it worked great, but then stopped. I kind of stopped too / these days I’m closer to carnivore (ketovore). The last thing I’ll say about the underlying reason people stop a diet that is so effective and healthy for the body (when done CORRECTLY), or not trying it in the first place is - addiction. Carbohydrate addiction is very real and impacts almost every person that grew up on the “standard American diet” have some level of addiction. At the end of the day though, to each their own and definitely do what works for you. If I wasn’t diabetic I would probably do something like the mediterranean diet.

You can eat a predominately vegetarian diet and still do keto. You just have to avoid things like corn, potatoes, most beans (not all, green beans and black beans are ok in portions), carrots in large amounts, or any fruits or vegetables that have a lot of starch and sugars in them. You can even have small portions of some fruits, especially berries, so long as you don't eat too much. Even some root vegetables like rutabaga and turnips are ok in controlled portions, usually around a cup or less, as well as any veggie that has more fiber than starch. The people who get themselves into trouble are the ones who don't do their research and treat it like a fad diet. They think they're going to just eat bacon, eggs, and pork chops at every meal, then they end up having stupidly high cholesterol and having kidney problems from eating way too much protein. I personally eat everything I can, cheeses, meats, eggs, fish, greens and veggies, anything so long as there's no sugar or starch in it, I just make sure I know how many carbs I'm getting. I keep my intake at around 20 grams per day and still lose weight without cravings or being tired. Keeping your intake at absolute zero for a long period of time is very unhealthy.

@@avabearden9867 Carbs are good for you in moderation, yes, but the problem is most modern people's carb sources are from foods loaded with way too much sugar and starch, especially sugar, since it's also often used as a preservative. That's why we have an epidemic of diabetes and obesity in the West, to begin with. There are more than enough vegetable varieties that you can eat with moderation and portion control that you could still eat a low-carb vegan diet, you just can't gorge yourself on potatoes, rice, and corn, as many people are want to do. It just requires you to know what you're eating, and to control your portions for things that have more carbs accordingly. I rarely feel restricted by what I can have and a large portion of my diet is cooked and raw veggies and greens. Anything with more fiber and less starch is on the menu, because fiber basically cancels out any equivalent amount of carbs. Mung beans are a good example. 1 cup has 38 grams of carbs but about half of that is fiber. Same with edamame. I choose to get a lot of my protein from fish and meat, eggs, cheese, etc. but I could easily cut those out for high protein veggies. I would still stay away from most "vegan" meat products, though, as a lot of those things have a ton of salt and sugar, and often contain trans fats, even when they say they don't.

At 6 months i was no longer diabetic, nor prediabetic. I still have 12 pounds to go for other reasons and so i am not on the prediabetic border. I can go over to someones house for dinner.

Repetition is boring and untenable for some, but for me it simplifies things and I found it more sustainable once I was in a routine and rhythm. I naturally fell into intermittent fasting as well, and then over a period of a few months I tightened my feeding window from 8 hours to 4. In the end I was skipping breakfast, eating lunch around 2pm (a salad of spring mix, chicken, ham, cheese, and the ranch for lunch pretty much every single day), and dinner at 6 (dinner is where I mix it up, but usually boils down to green beans or broccoli + protein, or otherwise taking a dish that involves carbs, like tacos, and removing the carbs).

Also, amazed to see how ridiculous (& unpleasant) the comments are, esp by comparison with the usual! So many people seemingly unwilling or unable to reasonably put a case or posit an alternative, just lots of unevidenced &/or inflammatory/reactive nonsense all over the shop… Wondering if these are the most dorkishly polarised comments a vid of yours has received? Anyway, appreciate some new-to-me info you present here, and your reasoning for *your own* decision. I really like how thought out and contingent it is; that is, your decision is made up of a sequence of variables, and that if any one or some were different you might make another decision. Appreciate in general your emphasis on doing cool stuff - how to keep (or get) moving on making & doing things, finding intrinsic motivation, sort of uncovering & honouring one’s own emphatic YESes in life and going with them. Overlong comment, Sox, but have wanted to say hi for a while. Hey also to Chyna! Really enjoy the rotating cast of players (parents, pals, neighbours, expert folk, the odd glimpse of Ada, etc). Spring greetings from Australia (the backyard macropods say hi too, probably 🦘)

I've tried keto - but ultimately I love carbs. However! I use a keto supplement daily (which when I started using the supplement, it coincided with my migraines going away and what was several migraines a month has remained at zero since 2016) and I've learned different recipes and ways to exclude added sugar (different sweeteners for some things, no sweetener for others (like tea) ), so I think the concept of it has made me more aware of all the added stuff in our foods.

Honestly, Mishelle, @@mishelle6315 i'm struggling to understand how anything called a supplement relates to keto. Keto is literally eating whole foods and limiting carbs to 50 or less per day. How on earth is a supplement a part of that in any way? I understand that a lot of people supplement when they're on keto with Vitamin D and K2 and magnesium... but that's because of our soil lacking in nutrients, not because of the amount of carbs per day. Sorry, I just don't see how anything like that helps or hurts or is related. I'm not trying to pick on you at all, I just don't understand. Is it exogenous ketones?

@DJSAYBR 10 ай бұрын

After alot of research Into keto and the issues around it, I decided to go on a "Modified" keto diet essentially it was no carbs and sugar for 2 out of 3 meals. For me that was breakfast and lunch. Supper I could eat as much carbs as I'd like. Over 6 months I lost 40 lbs and felt waaay better. I did not track carb consumption or total calories. I ate what i craved when I craved it.... Except carbs. I only ate the carbs I was craving at supper time. So evening snack, breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, all carb free. I found my cravings for carb went down this way. And felt way better, more energy. Alot of the keto downsides I found disappeared when I ate carbs once a day.

We, people in industrialized nations get 10-15 grams of dietary fiber day. !?!? Our bodies have evolved to sustain itself for millions of years with a fiber rich diet...... gut bacteria play a major unrecognized role in our health and chronic illness(if we do not eat the right foods).

I did Atkins and lost a lot of weight in the early 2000s. I didn’t do well on eating fat thought and mostly just ate a lot of lean meat. It eventually resulted in hair loss and feeling bad so I stopped. When Keto became a thing I thought-oh! I just need to eat more fat! No. Keto flu didn’t go away for me. My digestive system became somewhat of a personal social hazard. That also didn’t go away. Now I do a pretty balanced diet where I try to eat mostly Whole Foods (but it doesn’t have to be perfect) with a focus on healthy fats, protein, and fiber, with fat being the lowest because that’s just what feels good for me. I track to make sure my calories are what I want, but not every day. I lost 60 pounds this way and I love it. I feel like a magician because I can eat everything. But it’s what he said. Do what works for you.

Keto saved life, I was obese and lost 65 kilos in 18 months following a mostly strict healthy keto with intermiting and prolonged fasting, when I reached 80 kilos I started lifting and never really felt the need to bring the carbs back, I've gained 20 kilos in the last 16 months, bulking on keto is the most fun, I loove eating veggies and fatty proteins, my workouts are intense and I don't really feel a difference in performance when I have carbs so I tend to stay mostly in ketosis, but in a less restrictive way, here and there I eat some fruits and chocolate bars, I save my carb intakes for special occasions, family dinners, holidays, birthdays and such. If I eat carbs for more than 3 days in a row I start craving keto foods belive it or not so it works great for me.

@sarahn.2296 10 ай бұрын

I don't know if anyone will ever read this (unlikely since you get so many comments) but just my personal story: I struggled for years with my health. Neuropathy, muscle aches, fatigue, panic attacks, brain fog, anxiety, depression, mood swings, diarrhea/constipation, bloat, cramping after eating, and a bunch of other stuff that feels like a distant memory now. I struggled for years with symptoms both physical and mental and my doctors gave up on me. This past winter I had a doctor who finally tested me for SIBO, which came back positive for methane dominant SIBO. My B12 levels were also checked and they were dangerously low. The SIBO was affecting my ability to absorb nutrients and, quite frankly, I was suicidal because of how poorly I was feeling. I saw a new doctor who decided to treat the SIBO with appropriate antibiotics and also told me to go "no carb, no sugar, no carbonated drinks" (essentially keto) for a week leading up to the antibiotics and the duration of the two week course because she said it would make the drugs more effective and that carbs and sugars would only feed the bacteria. I was strict for the entire three weeks, and my life has changed forever. That was several months ago now and everyone in my life remarks about how much better I am. 90% of my symptoms from before are gone. My B12 is back up to a normal range, so all my symptoms from the deficiency are gone. I don't wish I was dead all day, everyday anymore. My doctor said the keto wasn't a long term goal, but it's astounded by the progress I've made and advised that if I felt comfortable enough I could continue with it. I'm not saying this is EVERYONE'S ideal diet. I'm saying that there ARE people who benefit from eliminating carbs and sugar from their daily intake. I take breaks where I go back to eating how I used to, and I always regret it. My gut symptoms always return and I realize how poorly I feel throughout the day. Two arguments I have for naysayers: how can it be dangerous to eat keto when you're basically only eating fresh meats, dairy, and vegetables? Shopping the "outside" of the grocery store is one of the best things you can do for your body, eliminating highly processed food and additives/preservatives. Secondly, it sounds like people forget that electrolytes are a huge, HUGE part of keto. Drinking water alone isn't going to help, you need to make sure you're getting magnesium, potassium, etc. This can be done easily and affordably by adding sea salt, "No Salt" (potassium chloride), etc to your water in small amounts. Magnesium supplements are also a good idea. Lots of people get obsessed with the test strips, but a little known fact is that the color on the strips get darker the more dehydrated you are. Not only is it giving false positives, but it's making people chase that high of seeing a deep level of ketosis, which isn't what you should be after. Lots of people in the keto community don't even check their levels because there's essentially no point in doing so. Just eat healthy and push forward. I know lots of people who would probably die on a keto diet and would never recommend it for everybody. But eating fresh food is definitely not dangerous in and of itself.

I am a dietitian and I love this video. Losing weight itself isn't that difficult, but at one point you will have to start holding the weight instead of losing more and more. And if you did the weight loss with a super strict diet that will he very hard for you. I work with my clients to first improve their eating habits and meal conpositions, very often it already does wonders to have 3 well balanced meals a day that keep you full and help you not get cravings in between and stop snacking. One client has lost almost 10 kg in 3 months just by actually having a lunch instead of just snacking between breakfast and dinner. Remember: It's a lifestyle change, so do one that you could keep up until you die in 50 years. No forbidden foods, just moderation and regular meals with a healthy amount of physical activity 😊
