Dr Becky. Thank you for your comments. Having worked in healthcare since the 1980’s it’s been devastating to see the BMIs of individuals increase so dramatically. It used to be a rarity to encounter an individual who weighed 400+ pounds... and now it’s common. We have extended seats on wheelchairs, in waiting rooms, and even hospital beds, with width and weight loads accommodating the 400 pound or greater individual. It’s SAD ... and unfortunately becoming increasingly acceptable. Your gentle, humble approach to this sensitive topic is appreciated.

Two month ago I decided to avoid carbohydrates as much as possible, not as a temporary diet, but as a permanent. The reason was not to lose weight; that came as a side effect. The reason was to enhance my mood and alertness by reducing sugars. The result has been truly amazing and one powerful argument for staying away from carbohydrates permanently; that reducing the sugar intake results in a (significantly rapid) weight loss is only a welcomed bonus :-)

For some people, that kind of chocolate in moderation is ok without any dangerous effects of the sugar, like spikes. I myself often enjoy once in a while, a piece of chocolate, usually around 80%, but I found some on Amazon that's 95%! Even 100%! So you can still enjoy chocolate with hardly, or no, sugar at all, while still getting the good minerals and nutrients that chocolate has to offer🙂

Oh yes! I was always very slim and could eat whatever I wanted without putting on any weight. In my early 40’s I went through the change in one year! Again I was such a lucky woman, no sweats or anything my periods just dwindled and then stopped. And that’s when I started to gain weight and my maximum weight has been 13st 6lbs (I live in the U.K. and we use stones and lbs😊) I’ve been on a high fat diet OMAD for 7 weeks now and have lost 14lbs, after yo-yo dieting in the past. This is something I feel happy with and am happy to continue with for the rest of my life. I’m in my 69th year now and feel for my health and the rest of my allotted span happy! I really was so proud not being large and have been miserable being overweight. Nothing extreme just want to be as happy as I can in this ageing body of mine

Best concise general guideline on how to select foods for weight loss, and the general reasons why. This, coupled to your list of ranked carbs in terms of carb to fiber content is all someone needs to improve their weight level and health through nutrition. My experience is that ditching sugar as much as possible also awakens your tastebuds in appreciating real, unprocessed food. This counters the “boredom” that is mentioned by some regarding low carb food. Your videos are very educational and you make it easy to grasp and retain the material for practical use.

[@MrGflan]

Great video!! I did keto for over a year and lost over 58 pounds. Now I have the ridiculous notion to try out for a natural bodybuilding contest in the near future. Because of this new goal, I know that good carbs are essential for me in terms of energy and muscle glycogen. Therefore I switched to a more flexible approach to eating for the past few months. It’s a lot more work than keto, in that I have to track everything I eat everyday, but as long as I keep my calories in a deficit, I am losing weight and my body composition is improving. Hopefully I will be ready to compete next year, but man this is hard, when you get below 11 percent body fat, it gets tough and the progress is way slow. So I keep up the fight and move forward with all my might. Thanks again for the helpful videos, doc!!

It is so interesting to me to be able to eat exactly the way I was brought up to eat: eggs and bacon for breakfast, beef and lamb from the local butcher, butter, fatty fish and lots of low carb vegetables (and potatoes and bread but I'm not having those now). We were healthy and fit and never had a health problem.

Nicely presented - thank you. It's great to see medical professionals embracing this. Like you, I lived it. I changed and realized how wrong the established thought is. I lost a lot of weight while eating all these delicious, rich, fatty foods you are not supposed to. Mental clarity. Mood greatly improved (lots). My A1C tests went from 9-10 down to 6 and I was able to take myself off of Glipizide but I still use Metformin. This is eating real foods and cooking meals from scratch. From 180 to 139 lbs. in just over 4 months. It's a return to eating well. Not a fad diet. Put down the boxed frozen low-fat diet meal and go fry a steak in butter with mushrooms and onions. But add a little olive oil to the butter so it won't burn.

[@thronebuilt]

Great video Dr. Gillaspy. Several years ago I had a conversation with a beautiful female trainer at a gym I belonged to. She was incredibly healthy looking and fit. She did not look muscled-out or unnatural, just fit and naturally healthy looking. She gave me the best advice that I still adhere to to this day, which is to, “Eat straight from the earth.” I can still remember her saying, “If it’s not in its natural form, then don’t eat it.” She explained that our bodies are not intended to eat any processed foods that come prepackaged, hence all the obesity and health problems with Americans. I enjoy working out and keeping a well balanced life in general, but the biggest attribute to feeling good every day, that I’ve experienced, has been consistently eating foods that are straight from the earth in their natural form. 🥩 🐓 🥚 🥒 🥬 🍎 🥥

Finally found a video that explained the reason why I shouldn’t be eating high protein with low carb diet! Thank you so much !

[@journeythrough7160]

Why

[@gardencookeat22]

High fat not hogh protein

[@amasanagbu80]

just depends on your activity level

[@sylviaking8866]

It should not be a low protein diet either. One still has to have adequate protein and one does get to eat a bit more protein on a low carb diet just not excess protein. As you age you do need to hit the leucine threshold which helps to prevent sarcopenia. Look at professor Don layman's talks on protein. As we age we do not utilize protein as efficiently as we did when we were young. As we age we therefore need more protein not less in order to maintain muscle mass effectively. Strength training also helps with this so we don't become frail and sarcopenic.

I make a wide variety of salads each week and this last year I started adding different types of seeds to our spinach, kale, veggie salad. I added hemp seeds, chia seeds and ground up milk thistle and it adds a whole new dimension and flavor to salad that is extraordinary. To our Asian salad I add sesame seeds and to my beet leaf salad I add raw almonds with a few chopped up apricot pits (not the apricot shell, just the pit inside of it that looks like an almond). Nuts and seeds have become a regular part of our diet.

[@googleplay9522]

Love your videos ❤ Please correct me if I'm wrong. -Amino acids are building blocks, not protains. -Animal protains has all the amino acids we need. Vegetables don't have them all, and vegetables contains a good amount of carbs which may elevate our glucose levels. - Carbs are metabolized as glocose -High fiber carbs are still carbs. So if you eat a lot of it, your blood glocose level will be higher. By the way, you look very good. You look way younger than your age. Keep up the good work 👍

Thank you Doctor for this informative video introducing some of the overall concepts to healthy eating. I'm 55 and a below knee amputee of 2 years. Adapting to my situation caused my activity level to suffer and so I started putting on more and more weight and was turning diabetic. Following advice from your channel as well as others, I totally cut out the carbs in a healthy way. My typical meals now include some sort of protein like steak, salmon, or chicken with the skin as well as sautéed vegetables in olive oil and some fruit such as apples, blueberries or strawberries. Occasionally I will have almonds or cashews for snacks. All of these foods are easy to find in the local grocery store or even in our family restaurant. I also make sure my portions are under control by calorie counting. I now hit the elliptical trainer 4 times a week. All of these have been a change from my previous nutrition and exercise but not totally bonkers and have been easy to maintain. No more sugar, flour or rice products. I have now hit my goal weight and lost 25 pounds in about 2.5 months! My latest blood work from a couple weeks ago indicated I am now almost back to normal triglycerides and A1c levels and my combined cholesterol is down to 138! Your channel as well as others' have been very motivational and informative. Thank you!

I have always taken the ceylon cinnamon which helped me tremendously, because I always had spikes in my blood sugar. But thank you for this simple but very informative breakdown. I recently lost 5lbs, but now I feel armed with the correct info to increase that number and get back on track. GOD Bless you.

I started the keto diet mid February 2020 and have lowered carbs and quit the sugar, and have added more of the good fats, and have lost 33 plus pounds and it is the first part of April. And feel better than I have for a long time at the age of 69 years old.

Dr. Becky you have explained the issue of insulin usage in our bodies in a most excellent way using a very simple pictorial analogy!! One dr tried to use a refrig vs freezer it just didn't make as much sense as your example! KUDOS TO YOU!

[@erindoyle73]

I would love to see a couple examples of eating days for you.

[@yvetteastley6794]

Dr Becky thank you for such an inspiring video. Please can you do a video telling us what you eat in a day. I am trying to get more involved with eating Fats but finding it difficult because of past advice.

[@beckygillaspy]

Hi Yvette, thanks for your comment. Covering all the foods to eat in a day is more involved than I can get into on KZbin, but I have 20+ videos in my weight loss coaching program that share exactly what to eat for weight loss. www.drbeckyfitness.com/coaching

Thank you Dr Becky, I am finding your videos very informative , you break things down into layman’s language. I have just found your videos this morning. Thank you 😊

Dr. Becky, thank you for your informative and very helpful video. I was recently diagnosed with diverticulitis and had no clue what to eat. I am 57 years old and have no other medical conditions. Your video really helped in giving me advice on what to include in my diet, since I had been doing Keto up to now. Your advice was greater than what I actually found on the diverticulitis videos. I wasn't given instructions by my Dr on what to eat, but I was told by the PA to Google my condition? What? I put myself on liquid diet for 2 days and semi for 3. Now I'm going to use your advice to aid in my nutrition to get me back on track. Thank you.

I wish you the best, Cindy!

I’m curious...what do you consider the amount of carbohydrates as daily intake to be “low carb”....25 grams? 55 grams a day? We hear lo carb over and over again, but we never hear an easy rule of thumb formula to figure out what a doable amount of grams is for our individual needs. Can you please help with this? Keto is out of the question for me, But lo carb I could do IF I had a goal amount of grams for the day. Thank you for your videos! You are clear concise and do a great job sharing this valuable info!

My husband and myself are 73 years old and need to lose weight. We have noticed that’s it’s not as easy as it used to be! We enjoyed watching your KZbin videos and will begin to incorporate the things we have learned. We are not on medications but I have chronic pain in my joints which is getting worse. My husband also has many aches and pains. We are excited to go on this journey but a little nervous about new recipes and change of our eating lifestyle. But we will really try as our motivation is up! Thank you. Anita

[@beckygillaspy]

Welcome to the low-carb way of eating, Anita! I think you'll enjoy the food and the results :)

[@DaddyJ810]

On the left of the board you have a detailed list of things you shouldn't eat, but no detailed list of things you can eat.

[@takeoffyourblinkers]

Yes the lack of examples in that department was a downer on this informative video. Dr Berg will give you the run down on good food to eat, especially veggies, he is a big supporter of greens and cruciferous veggies with keto and low carb. If you can tolerate the cruciferous of course, some have problems. But that is what getting to know your own body is all about.

[@vcoonrod]

She says to basically eat high fiber carbs that dont raise blood sugar and to eat nuts. Unfortunately that is still a starvation diet. What works for most people is to essentially cut out wheat, sugar, fruits, and dairy. You will lose weight and feel pretty good. Good luck.

[@mandyalca8090]

She said to eat eggs, good quality meat, nuts, seeds, butter, etc.

[@Abcd-hr9ot]

Exactly

[@tcseacliff6384]

she has more videos on this go watch them so does Dr.Berg, Dr. Ken Berry Thomas Lauer!!

[@PracticalTacticalAccuracy]

Nice job on this video Becky :-)I've lost 42 pounds doing pretty much what you explained here.... (not to mention 5 days a week at the gym) Now people keep asking me how they can do it and I've given the same speech many times.

[@uj313]

You explained in the more easiest and understandable way. Thank you for your video:)
