@@fern1416 so they ripen. I do the opposite of this and it works really well. I leave mine out until they just begin to get soft and then put them in the fridge. The fridge doesn't stop them from ripening, it only slows it down. The way I store them, they usually get to a perfect ripeness just when I need them and last quite a while. I rarely have them go bad anymore
I did exactly this. Now my problem is that the second half goes brown very quickly in the fridge. I wrapped it in corn starch bag and that did nothing for it. Next time I wrapped it in a paper bag abd that was a bit better

Thanks, I will do that if I decide to get them again. They're not that nice and I don't really want to be buying plastic or cling film just for that. I've lived my life without them so am sure ai can do keto without them too but I will remember all this advice if I do famcy one. Thanks again
Great to see you back on the Tube, Dr Maggs. Avocados 🥑 can safely be stored immersed in water inside a bowl in the fridge. The water stops oxidisation and prevents browning and softening.
I've been keto for 4 years, continually watching & listening to this kind of content for the science, ideas & motivation. In all that time I have to say this is one of the best videos on healthy keto fat sources. Keep it up Doc, this kind of content literally changes (saves!) lives.
@@DrDanMaggs Previous to your return I had subscribed and hit the alarm button. You had a lot of great information when I first started my Keto transformation. Lost 60+ lbs since starting thanks to you and others. I'm 63 and had been overweight for decades. Covid encouraged me to lose weight. Started by getting rid of anything that had High Fructose Corn Syrup in me fridge and pantry as well as Pasta, Bread, Rice, and lost 20 lbs in a couple of months. I discovered Keto and Time Restricted eating a couple of months later and lost another 40 lbs to where I am now at 157 lbs. Target is at 150 lbs.
The solution to the avocado ripening issue: is to let them ripen on the counter until just before edible, only slightly soft. Then wrap them up in a few layers of plastic wrap and refrigerate. They will still ripen but very slowly in the frig. Good for 1 to 2 weeks, maybe longer.
great to see you back you're my favourite source of info for my low carb lifestyle and nice to see a Brit doing it, nothing against the Americans , they're great but having a British voice amongst them is brilliant! I just wish the rest of the UK would understand this more- my friends look at me as if I am mad when I so no chips or no rice or no bread and dont even get me started about what reaction I get to cream, butter and lard! Looking forward to your next videos Dan 😀
I have 6 avocado trees in my backyard, right now they're in bloom, even though some still have fruit. They weigh around 450-500 g each. I eat avocado daily, usually just chop it in cubes, mix with extra virgin olive oil, and raw eggs from my chickens, some Himalayan salt and maybe paprika or Argentine chimichurri sauce. I only fry or cook with either lard, tallow, coconut oil or ghee. Olive oil I use a lot, but only after I turned off the fire. Sometimes if I cook Chinese food, as I don't use soy sauce, I use Coconut Aminos, which in my opinion is far more delicious and healthy than soy sauce.
Hey Coach, great to have you back on youtube. For all the viewers, I‘m one of Dr. Dan’s Carbdodging Alumnies. I highly recommend to join the group if you whant to live a healty balanced life. On the course you learn everything you need to know. Would love to welcome you on the Carbdodging club! See ya there.
Hi Dan! I attended your coaching course last year and cannot recommend it enough. The perfect combination of science and community. Unfortunately I discovered that I was a sugar addict and needed a different type of support to get me off it. (No reflection on you!) I will be eternally grateful to you for introducing me to low carb eating and showing me how it can be done. Delighted to see you back on You Tube.
so great to hear from you. i've lost 45 lbs so far this year. i am type 2 diabetic with many food allergies. and i'm 60. so i dont want to much loose skin from losing to quickly. have gotten my A1C from 6.9 to 5.6. i go for blood test friday. so i pray its even lower. GOOD NEWS, DOWN TO 5.4.
Just started keto again, this is the best channel I've found! Really easy to understand and down to earth. Really love this channel and also Heavenly Fan channel for good veggie ideas too - as I do keto without red meat, so I'm mainly fish, chicken, dairy, eggs and veggie
Hi Dr. Maggs, I have found buying avocados green and hard keeps them from being bruised. Then leave them on the counter for a few days up to a week until they just bearly get the lightest outward softness. You will adjust your touch to the testing to gain the best starting point to place them in the fridge. Then refrigerate them and they will last for a 5-10 days. Blessings in Him, Dave
I buy packages of frozen, chopped avocados. In my country fresh avocados are very expensive, but these packages give you more avocado for your money. So I take out the amount I need about 10 minutes beforehand, and put the package back into the freezer. They stay fresh "for ever", though I usually finish them within less than two weeks. (Low carb since 11 years.)
Welcome back. I wondered what had happened! I've lost 50lb since May 2020 and your videos were very helpful. Thanks and looking forward to more videos !
Hi Doc. Thank you for the informative vijeo. Concerning avocados....buy the Haas, unripened. Stick them in the fridge. A few days before you need them, leave them out at room temp, or put them (it) into a paper bag. They won't ripen in the fridge, and will stay for about 3 weeks. The paper bag will allow the natural ethylene to ripen the fruit. Happy trails.
Great to see you back! I found your keto journey story inspiring that I started one myself. Lost 2 stone to date had a bit of hiccup during last lockdown but still feel great.
I am not necessarily interested in a strict KETOGENIC diet, but my doctor has told me that I'm insulin resistant because I use to be severely obese (I've lost 205 lbs. in just over 2 years), so increasing fat and protein seems to be a smart option, especially since I started weight training. I've been very interested in research of higher fat diets, with things like butter, bacon, or yogurt, or eating more eggs for breakfast. Mostly because I don't like just trusting anything I'm told. So the idea that women may not be restricted to 6 eggs in a week is really quite fascinating. Thank you so much for all your help, I really do appreciate it.
To avoid wasting avocados due to over ripeness, pick a few bright green (fairly firm) avocados and a few brownish (not so firm) avocados. Refrigerate the brownish fruits and use them first. By that time the firm fruits will be ready for the fridge. They will ripen faster in warm conditions, but as soon as they soften, place them in the fridge. I hope this is helpful.
Thanks so much for this video! The French sauces a very helpful tip since I miss gravy and need to learn adding healthy fats. Baba Ganoush makes me want to experiment with aubergine. This is my 3rd attempt at keto. I have gained so much information that will help me succeed in between the failures. I never struggled too much with my weight until now. I simply starved myself and I was a carbaholic. There is a mental block with consuming fat on purpose because of the food pyramid. Luckily, my mother worked for the health department as a nutrition educator when I was growing up, so I do have an awareness of nutritional density. My sweet tooth has often been my downfall, so I appreciate the chia pudding mention. I did not know chia seeds could be laxative. Avocados can be frozen well, so if you process them all when they're perfectly ripe, meaning cut them up and freeze in chunks, you can easily use them in smoothies. I particularly love chocolate protein powder smoothies made with frozen avocado because of the creaminess they impart. It fools the brain and kills the craving and then I have to keep reminding myself it was a GOOD thing to have that chocolate shake! 😅
Hi Dr Maggs So glad I found you! I thought that seeds, nuts and dairy like yogurts and milk were a big No! No! I'm French and I have always made my own vinaigrette (but 2 part oil to 1 part vinegar and whatever herbs you want to add if any.) and mayonnaise with 1 egg yolk, 1 tabespoon of mustard mixed together and oil drizzled in the egg yolk/mustard mixture until you have the mayonnaise consistency) sometimes I would wisk the egg white into a mousse and add it to the mayonnaise. This would make the mayonnaise colour lighter and the texture more like a mousse hence the name mousseline and not mayonnaise. And no, you are not offending me with your take on the French sauces😊
Great tutorial on how to eat more healthy fat in a 'normal' natural way. I started out on the Low Carb journey more or less the same time as you. In my case, as an alternative to poly-pharmacy to treat T2d. The whole bulletproof coffee thing never really appealed to me, nor did the notion of choking down 'fat bombs'. However, I quickly noticed that reading labels, and learning to make your own is definitely the way to go. Especially, during the pandemic, the old, 'I'm too busy' chestnut doesn't wash, and making your own mayonnaise, for example, is really easy with a stick blender. Just visit the University of RUclips, and you'll find a plethora of tutorials on that and all the other good stuff you mention. Thanks for sharing.😋
This made my mouth water! For YEARS I’ve been avoiding any kind of fats…especially the French sauces which I love. So happy to hear they’re not the evil foods we’ve been led to believe! Thankyou for this list! My meals are becoming better and better!
Hurray! You are back. I discovered your channel during the pandemic and stuck around hoping you would show up again. I am one of those people that have Pre diabetes and I realised I needed to make a change due to the risks from COVID and discovered low carb. It is the single most impactful thing I have done since getting this diagnosis in 2018!
The smoke point of virgin coconut oil is - best for baking and sautéing. The smoke point of refined coconut oil is 400°F, which makes it a better option for frying or cooking at higher temperatures
Dr. Dan, I LOVE YOU!! I'm new to Keto and searching desperately for helpful information. Your videos are phenomenal!! Thank you so very much for all this great info....I'm going to be incorporating ALL of your information into my diet!
I woke up very early and was delighted to see your new video in the que. I will watch again, for I must have been too sleepy to remember what I watched. Glad you're back and looking good!
Hi Dr Dan, found your site a couple of weeks ago, watched the videos, read the comment. Invaluable, started a Keto diet three weeks ago and almost lost a stone in weight. Thanks very much, glad your back.
To freeze ripe avocado (not over-ripe), peal, slice, freeze flat ten put in freezer bag. Here, in Canada, you can find frozen avocado slices/chunks in the frozen fruit section of grocery store .
Hi Dr Maggs, for avocado, it isn’t how you store them, it is more the variety where they are grown. A Mexican grown Hass avocado will stay soft green for a lot longer than an indifferent variety grown in north africa. Better shelf life is usually reflected in the price.
Just found your videos and am so glad I did. Very informative and easy listening. Glad to hear there are more new videos in the pipeline as I only found your old stuff!
You are godsend. Im on keto for a few months and feeling better than ever. I lost all extra weight in 60 days but do not want to go back to eating carbs.cannot belive im saing it but eating salmon and broccoli for lunch got old after few months. I appriciate your suggestions and will give chia pudding a go. Thank you
We buy a huge bag of avocados at Costco. They are rockhard when we purchase them, we leave them sitting out on the countertop until they start to soften. Then put them immediately into the refrigerator and they will stop ripening and last for at least a week!
I have been on Keto since 10/1/2021. Already down one pant size I think. I find myself making up crazy recipes to stay Keto compliant mostly. I liked this presentation. Gave me some new ideas. I have been using lots of heavy whipping cream, half n half, almond milk etc. I use hemp, chia and flax seeds in my smoothies along with organic almond butter, almond milk, whey protein isolate, walnuts and organic frozen blueberries, cherries and pineapple. I realize the fruit is a no no but I still am using it for now. Getting tired of eggs already. 🥚
I agree with eating healthy fats, but after losing over 100 lbs on keto I found that fats will stall you if you eat over 30 g a day. This is after you have become fat adapted. I then found that going leaner on my meat and cutting out a lot of butter and other fats, lowing our carbs to 20 g a day works wonders. Love the video though because it's full of great information.
One trick we used to keep guacamole when it was made: since the recipe itself had lime juice in it, we'd take about half of the amount and once the guac was settled in the container, put the rest of the lime juice on top and seal the juice against it with loose wrap. Kept it for days, and when it was time to pull it, pull the wrap off, mix the rest of the line juice and eh. Good to go.
Dr maybe,I found you by chance,but you are a breath of fresh air,love the videos and it's given me a kickstart,3lbs down,long way to go but thank you☺️
Had the same problem with Avocado's but only yesterday i learned a great method for ripening them to order. Simply put an Avocado in a brown paper bag with a Banana between 6 hours and overnight and your previously rock hard pear will be soft enough to eat. It really works!
Nice vidéo M. Maggs. I can't stop watching every episode that help me going trought my ketogenic diet. You just got a new fan from Quebec Canada. Thanks for everything and make it easy to understand.
Purchasing avocado - my advice. Buy them green and hard, preferably cold as those are the newest arrivals. Take them home and either store them out of the fridge with apples or onions until ripe. The reason - people love to squeeze avocados. This bruises them and the bruises will be the first to turn black even before the rest ripens. Don't go pinching them yourself. Just leave them. If you don't pinch them they will keep a little while a week or a little longer, and be perfectly ripe when you need them. I have also discovered if you buy a round avocado, it will have a big round seed in the middle. The ones with a skinny neck have small seeds and more flesh. Buy 3-4 at a time, a couple times a week to keep you in perfectly ripe avocado.
@@DrDanMaggs congrats on the baby well done And in Covid my husband got it in the first week of lockdown and he’s a type one boy he was lucky he had me and his brother Who is the doctor hope this will all end soon oh what did you have boy or girl I’m sure they’re beautiful thanks for all you do 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I have the same issue with avocado - usually I take the flesh out, whir them in the food processor with some lemon juice and freeze them in the little silicone molds (sort of like you showed with the butter) and keep them in the freezer. Then I add a chunk to things I am making like no-bake cheesecake (because I don't do smoothies, but I'm sure that would work as well). Perhaps they could even be added to mayo or some other sauce that avocado might go well. I am going to have to get at making some of that flavoured butter and other items you mentioned. I've been rather lax about such things.
Can you please explain why a number of renowned international nutrition experts say that the Keto diet is not healthy. I agree because after trying it I was ill and once ended up in the ER. Since stopping this diet I have not been ill nor had to go to the hospital. Thank you.
Flaxseed oil? I mean i guess a little won't hurt you, still i'm suprised you'd say that. Ethier way speaking of salad dressings i just use my extra virgin spanish olive oil with apple cider vinegar, and it's a great combo, also believe it or not the sourness of the acv actually reduced the bitterness of some of the bitter leafy greens. I usally have prestigio salads mainly because of beet tops (and these are very rich in potassium), but they also contain chard and other leafy greens that i cannot find seperate. I also put avocadoes in my salads since really it's the only way i can eat them and enjoy them at the same time.
Hey Doctor, good to have you back. i love your videos. You havent mentioned pork and specially bacon. if it's not sweeted, very good way to consume fat.
Avocado, if able, try to pick some ready to eat a few and buy ones not ripe yet or Simi ripe space it out so you can use faster and maybe if your making say guacamole, maybe can freeze or put in R.R. may last longer, the guacamole that is

Great to see you back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for your coaching course! 💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺💃🏻🕺
Hey Rosyln! Great to hear from you! Hope you're doing well! :)
We buy a huge bag of avocados at Costco. They are rockhard when we purchase them, we leave them sitting out on the countertop until they start to soften. Then put them immediately into the refrigerator and they will stop ripening and last for at least a week!
This American is sooo happy your back....your videos are so valuable!!!
Great to be back Cindy! Thanks :)
So glad to see you again, you helped me start my low carb to health way of eating and I am so very greatfull to you.
Awww. Thank you Pamela. I love getting messages like this! Glad I could help!
I found a tip on another site store avocados in the fridge , in a bowl of water to keep them fresh and stop browning.
Thank you Doctor. 😊 I love home made mayonnaise with garlic 🤩
Long time no see!
Welcome back my friend!
Yayyyy you’re back! Love this video! Love you.
Love you too! :)
🥰
Welcome back Doc - have missed seeing you here.
Great to see you again!
Great video nice to see you again brother
Thanks Ed! Great to be back!
thanks doctor, I knew these things but I enjoy your easy-to-"get", informative, sales-free presentations.
Glad you like them!
I have been on Keto since 10/1/2021. Already down one pant size I think. I find myself making up crazy recipes to stay Keto compliant mostly. I liked this presentation. Gave me some new ideas. I have been using lots of heavy whipping cream, half n half, almond milk etc. I use hemp, chia and flax seeds in my smoothies along with organic almond butter, almond milk, whey protein isolate, walnuts and organic frozen blueberries, cherries and pineapple. I realize the fruit is a no no but I still am using it for now. Getting tired of eggs already. 🥚
I agree with eating healthy fats, but after losing over 100 lbs on keto I found that fats will stall you if you eat over 30 g a day. This is after you have become fat adapted. I then found that going leaner on my meat and cutting out a lot of butter and other fats, lowing our carbs to 20 g a day works wonders. Love the video though because it's full of great information.
Dear Dr Maggs, great to see your videos have returned. I have missed you.
More to come!
One trick we used to keep guacamole when it was made: since the recipe itself had lime juice in it, we'd take about half of the amount and once the guac was settled in the container, put the rest of the lime juice on top and seal the juice against it with loose wrap. Kept it for days, and when it was time to pull it, pull the wrap off, mix the rest of the line juice and eh. Good to go.
Absolutely fabulous ideas...... tons of thanks. Been on Keto for 1 year.....excellent results. CHEERS
Dr maybe,I found you by chance,but you are a breath of fresh air,love the videos and it's given me a kickstart,3lbs down,long way to go but thank you☺️
Good to have you back, thanks
Thanks Richard!!!
The chia pudding is going into my meal rotation immediately. Thanks for that.
You're speaking my language! This is how I eat and I love it! 😻 Minus the meat, of course.
I am so happy to find you,awesome information....thank you so much for keeping us informed
Had the same problem with Avocado's but only yesterday i learned a great method for ripening them to order. Simply put an Avocado in a brown paper bag with a Banana between 6 hours and overnight and your previously rock hard pear will be soft enough to eat. It really works!
Yes I learnt that in Australia
I like this guy! 😃 one of the best low carb channels!
Nice vidéo M. Maggs. I can't stop watching every episode that help me going trought my ketogenic diet. You just got a new fan from Quebec Canada. Thanks for everything and make it easy to understand.
Thanks Jimmy! Appreciate you!
I love your videos. So informative and straight to the point. Thank you!
This is such great info. Thanks doc. I'm trying them all!!!!!!
Purchasing avocado - my advice. Buy them green and hard, preferably cold as those are the newest arrivals. Take them home and either store them out of the fridge with apples or onions until ripe. The reason - people love to squeeze avocados. This bruises them and the bruises will be the first to turn black even before the rest ripens. Don't go pinching them yourself. Just leave them. If you don't pinch them they will keep a little while a week or a little longer, and be perfectly ripe when you need them. I have also discovered if you buy a round avocado, it will have a big round seed in the middle. The ones with a skinny neck have small seeds and more flesh. Buy 3-4 at a time, a couple times a week to keep you in perfectly ripe avocado.
Welcome back!!
Thanks Kathy! :)
Put avocados in the fridge; you can also puree, take all air out and seal and freeze; comes out fine.
Yeah you’re back miss you loads hope everything is going well happy you’re back 😁😁😁🤩🤩🤩

@@bethhorkan4860 A little girl! 10 months old now. Her name is Imogen! :)
Great news, I am happy you are back, we need good quality information
Thanks Esther
I have the same issue with avocado - usually I take the flesh out, whir them in the food processor with some lemon juice and freeze them in the little silicone molds (sort of like you showed with the butter) and keep them in the freezer. Then I add a chunk to things I am making like no-bake cheesecake (because I don't do smoothies, but I'm sure that would work as well). Perhaps they could even be added to mayo or some other sauce that avocado might go well. I am going to have to get at making some of that flavoured butter and other items you mentioned. I've been rather lax about such things.
Can you please explain why a number of renowned international nutrition experts say that the Keto diet is not healthy. I agree because after trying it I was ill and once ended up in the ER. Since stopping this diet I have not been ill nor had to go to the hospital. Thank you.
Excellent vid - Great to have you back sharing helpful information Dr Dan!
As soon as your avocados are ripe put them in the fridge, they will last for weeks after that (though I am sure you would eat them much sooner) :)
Flaxseed oil? I mean i guess a little won't hurt you, still i'm suprised you'd say that. Ethier way speaking of salad dressings i just use my extra virgin spanish olive oil with apple cider vinegar, and it's a great combo, also believe it or not the sourness of the acv actually reduced the bitterness of some of the bitter leafy greens. I usally have prestigio salads mainly because of beet tops (and these are very rich in potassium), but they also contain chard and other leafy greens that i cannot find seperate. I also put avocadoes in my salads since really it's the only way i can eat them and enjoy them at the same time.
Welcome back! Great video! Thanks 😊
You da man Dr. Dan! (down 10 pounds since restarting low carb)
Yey! Your back.. Welcome back Dr. Dan.
Thanks Edward! Great to be back!
Hey Doctor, good to have you back. i love your videos.
You havent mentioned pork and specially bacon. if it's not sweeted, very good way to consume fat.
Brilliant video with perfect timing …. Thank you! xx
Hi Dan, regarding double cream, is this good for healthy fats??? Great site, thanks, kev
You can freeze some avocados for using for smoothies the freeze nicely in there peel .
I love Dr. Dan! So inspiring!
I’ve missed you, Dr. Maggs! It’s really great to see this video. Much Aloha from Hawaii 😊🤗♥️🤙🏽🌺
Avocado, if able, try to pick some ready to eat a few and buy ones not ripe yet or Simi ripe space it out so you can use faster and maybe if your making say guacamole, maybe can freeze or put in R.R. may last longer, the guacamole that is
Love this!❤🎉! Thank you ❤
What a inspiration I learned a lot thank you very much 😊 🙏
