    Lost 49 kgs in 8 month so far doing a fairly dirty keto but also jumped onto OMAD after a month. My doc is super impressed & my meds has been cut in half & all my stats are better. Must admit it was a little surpricing how easy i found the whole thing. I think it also helped that i convinced myself that the money saved by only eating once a day, id spend on getting premium foods like pre-cooked bacon etc. I do understand if other people struggles with keeping the diet, as it is quite individual. The whole "situation" we have right now also ment i had to order everything online & get it delivered, so no accidental alluring high carb purchases there. Learning about chaffles really help filling that bread cravings go away. Also the whole thing kinda became a hobby of mine & helps the lifestyle going. One thing you have to watch out for is the "fake" commercial keto products, oh there is a lot of completely bad ones. But with a tiny bit of searching you can find the good ones, like peanut butter, almond flour, pancake mix, toppings, pickled things & even jam. its amazing to learn what you can make yourslef & not just ice scream, popsicles or mug cakes, but also real candy by just lightly browning some butter (and patience & a bit of work).

    Add being a severe diabetic into the mix and there is NOTHING that works as well as KETO to reverse it! I have been on a strict keto diet for one month, as of today. I have lost 16 pounds and I have reduced my blood sugar readings by about 100 points, on average. It IS tough but it is also incredible! I use LESS than 1/4 of the insulin I was using, and I have completely stopped my oral medications. I do intermittent fasting and have one meal a day on 5 days a week and I do a 36-hour fast for autophagy and HGH production, two days a week. I even have a hard time, some days, consuming the number of calories that are recommended! There are a TON of interesting recipes that I want to try, but most importantly, for the first time in 20 years, I feel that I have the deadly disease of diabetes, under control. Doctors are wrong. It is NOT incurable and/or a "progressive" disease. It can be reversed.

    • @Bathoggywinger
      @Bathoggywinger 5 лет назад +228

      @@ClouduSan What is carbohydrate? Sugar... Most plants sit middle of the glycemic load index. The reason sugar in particular is bad, despite the obvious literature on metabolic disorders(diabetes) is that such foods are fat storing. This is because sugar down regulates gluconeogenesis, the metabolic pathway the body uses to convert body fat to energy. When this pathway is down regulated obviously people are going to have lower TEE(total energy expenditure).
      Fat is the least insulinogenic food known. When people do keto they have a significant metabolic advantage in TEE because of the maximal up regulation of gluconeogenesis, second only to fasting.
      That is not to say someone won't net benefits on high carb, low fat diet, though the caveat here is as a direct comparison to the "Standard American Diet". The government diet is the most poisonous because it's the most insulinogenic, inflammatory response possible from diet. This is detailed in a known human physiological mechanism called "The Randle Cycle" where any equivalence in energy macros, fat and carbohydrate(sugar) will cause this maximal fat storing(insulin), inflammatory effect. This is because the two energy sub-straits compete for oxidization and the body cannot hybrid the response, ergo instead throws it all into fat storage.
      Short term plant based dieters will net benefits if what they're transitioning off the Standard American Diet, because no diet is worse than the government recommendation. Long term though, the super majority of them have to quit the diet to eat meat again because the plants are nutrient deficient, lack any real nutrient density.
      This is ignoring the massive amount of pseudo science purporting certain benefits. "Anti-oxidant" claim is pseudo scientific, consumer marketing non-sense. There are also considerable problems with the concept of "slow acting carbs", where there is a sizable amount of research showing fiber does not in fact seem to have any impact on delaying rise in blood sugar, insulin response.

      Bathoggywinger Your muscle’s need fuel.... Carbs are the main source of energy for Fast Twitch muscle fibers, which are the ones you use while lifting weights and such. To cut out carbs isn’t the smartest thing, you can always look for low sugar and non processed carbohydrates, but i think their information in this video is super relevant to the type of lifestyle they live. They like to lift, and look buff and without carbohydrates in the diet that won’t work as well as it could

    I’ve been doing keto for over a year. I mainly started because I’ve been a T1 diabetic since the age of two.
    Since starting it I’ve never been healthier. I started working out again after years of neglect and putting on weight and while I wasn’t obese, I still had about 30-50 lbs I wanted to lose.
    I’m well on my way to doing that.
    If you’ve read this far I would also like to add that if you do a lot of physical activity (like the Buff Dudes do) you can actually have a larger amount of carbs than someone who doesn’t and remain in ketosis.
    The tip I would recommend to understanding what your limit to that is getting a blood glucose/keto monitor. It gives you the exact measurement so it will remain accurate even after the initial switch into ketosis (what the person strips are good for).
    I got one because it did both things I needed. Measured my blood glucose AND ketones.
    Cheers!

    Brandon's result was pretty much what happened to me, although I went ultra strict keto for six or so months. Burned off 20kg of fat and gained a lot of muscle, but as I became more athletic I started moving into bringing more carbs in. It's a really great diet, especially given some special circumstances. The best part though is how educational going on it actually is - you become SUPER aware of all the sugar in everything! Like some kind of weird sugar-sense.

    I have been Ketogenic for the mjority of the last 4 years. The best 6 month stretch of cutting while building muscle was during one of my strictest Keto diets. I also logged the BodPod results monthly that show consistent gain of lean muscle while losing body fat. I started at 199.7 lbs 75.6% lean (151 lbs) and Fat at 24.4% (48.7) lbs. I ended 7 months later at 202.9 lbs, 81.2% Lean (164.9) and 18.8% (38.0 LBs). All together I lost 10.7 lbs of fat and gained 13.9 lbs of muscle in 7 months. I am active duty and obviously cannot take performance enhancers. I also stuck to my normal lifting routine, focusing more on higher intensity full body weigth training 5 days per week and cardio sessions 3 times per week. I still prefer Keto, but I do cycle off to keep my body adapting and increase bulk/feed cycles. I do have more power on carbs... but I get thick quick! I like the lean look.

    Keto saved my life. I was diagnosed with a Severe Fatty Liver and Hemochromatosis one year ago. I was mainly vegetarian for at least 5 out of the 7 days of the week. I am also Hypothyroid and have fibromyalgia due to Epstein-Barr Virus. I ballooned up to 321lbs. My liver had caused my waist to balloon up to 60” - that’s correct - 5 feet around. I soon discovered that Keto could help my Fatty Liver. It did. I’ve lost 102lbs as of today. I’m weighing in at 219lbs. My waist has gone down 18”! I’ve kept most of my muscle mass. My ferritin levels (Hemochromatosis) were at 4580. I’m now at 1200. Lots of phlebotomy treatments involved. And I hardly worked out - just dumbbells. So, Keto has definitely helped me.

      A plant based diet is the healthiest diet on this planet if DONE properly ( NO white carbs) AND proper exercise (resistance training and HIIT). Have your physician check all your interleukin inflammatory markers, SMC-Endothelin, Lp-PLAC2, TNF-Alpha, and a full cholesterol panel called CardioIQ by Quest Diagnostics. If all your inflammatory markers are at an optimal level then I would be shocked because COOKED meat of any kind contains oxidized cholesterol and fats and when ingested it alters the function of both HDL and LDL making both extremely atherogenic. Not to mention that ALL COOKED meat is highly carcinogenic! Yes, you lose weight because you cut out the processed foods, sugars, and bad carbs. It's NOT because you are eating meat!

Not trying to debate, BUT this KETO craze is going to kill hundreds of thousands of people later in life and most will die of cancer IF the cardiovascular disease doesn't get them first. I have hundreds of case studies from my own patients who were all on KETO and it took years to manifest disease, but eventually it will rear it's ugly head. Eat dead food and it will kill you - eat live foods and you shall live!

    Good job guys! I was diagnosed with type2 diabetes 8 months ago so for ME, keto is a no brainer. This is unlike any diet that I have ever tried. I actually LIKE the foods that I eat. The emphasis is not on calories but substance and I don’t feel like I’m trying to starve myself. I eat when I’m hungry but you know what I discovered? I’m not always hungry. I have evolved into an OMAD schedule without even trying. I’ve lost 60 pounds, my blood glucose is holding steady around 100 ( without meds ) and I feel great! In fact I’m trying to increase my calorie intake so I don’t lose weight TOO FAST. I don’t want to deal with the loose skin issue that happens when you drop a lot of weight in a short span of time.

    My experience with Ketogenic Diets:
    - I did a 5-shake-a-day "fast" called Optifast. It was a powder that's base was made from egg whites and had tons of vitamins & minerals in it. I lost 108 lbs in 26 weeks. But, the program wasn't so great at transitioning back to solid food so I ended up putting it all back on within 8 months.
    - I tried the original Atkins (read the whole book and followed it). I lost 80 lbs, kept it off for 6 years until I had some life-events that sent me spiraling into poor eating habits.
    My goal for my 50th birthday this year is to start back on a Keto diet to lose weight and start running and lifting weights again. I'm 315 lbs and I was feeling and doing my best at 230-250 lbs. (I'm 6'3", btw).

    It was a pleasure watching you because you seems pretty positive and non-judgmental. You are willing to legitimately explore all aspects, good or bad.
    All kinds of stuff contains sugar, yeah all that processed food. Not only that but many many different words mean sugar, so it's complicated. I *love* SOS or whole food-plant based, because that way one can say, if it has added sugar, added salt, or added oil, it's off the list. That eliminates a huge number of very unhealthy, processed foods. I get it, there's a continuum and you may want ot eat some things with a bit of one or each of those. My preference is keeping it super simple and I'm satiated. I don't get tempted in the grocery store, and shop fast with a list.
    But with whole food-plant based, I lowered my cholesterol level, and it was high before, and now is an ideal level. That's why I did it.
    I don't feel lethargy after eating, but keep in mind it's healthy carbs only. Included in that is pure whole wheat pasta and black beans, for example. I do get gas, but I don't have bloating much. On occasion, yes.

    Keto is a really good diet and Brandon is correct... I had all the same things and symptoms Brandon talked about. You have to introduce some of those complex carbs into your diet every now and then. 2 years ago, I was 5'7 and 217lbs, started keto after getting some bad numbers and words (pre-diabetic) so I decided to do some research and decided to try Keto.. I restricted my carb intake to 25-30 grams of carbs a day and I lost 10lbs in the first 7 days. But then I had to go out of the country for 3 months, so I ended up combining some Keto principles with Intermittent Fasting (skipping breakfast) and by the end of that 3 months, I went down to 172 lbs. My wife was shocked when I got home. My knees, ankles and lower back didn't hurt anymore. Mind you, I was pretty fit my whole life being in the army and recently retiring. While I combined some of the basics of Keto with I.F., you should try to eat "normal" about every 2 or 3 weeks.. i.e. take a weekend off from the diet, to get other nutrients into your body. Treat yourself but just don't go overboard.

Also, in keto you can incorporate more carbs as you enter into ketosis if you closely monitor yourself and see how your body reacts to a higher carb intake than the 20 grams. 20 grams would be for an induction phase but it's not supposed to be forever. And berries are actually keto friendly. Loved this!

    Keto is a great diet for winter when you're not running around as much. In early man, I'm sure there were more ketogenic foods available in winter that stores easily in a cave. By spring you're probably running low on snacks so probably fasting/borderline starving. In summer you're running around more and eating fresh fruits and roots and storing them up in fall. Probably collecting nuts, drying berries, and killing game. Nobody ever talks about the seasonal diet variation though.

    I personally did pretty good with keto as a kick starter to losing some body fat %, but then I shifted more towards kind of "paleo" rather than keto, like you guys did. Sweet potatoes, mixed berries in a protein shake, cashews, plaintain chips with hummus, etc. But also like you guys I found the best benefit was simple ingredient awareness. Blows my mind how much stuff has sugar and other garbage in it. And how many brands of bacon and whatever has a bunch of shit in it (sugar + nitrites etc). Also made me more aware of healthy fats (avacado, grass fed beef, olive oil, etc) vs the fats to avoid in things like ranch dressing and mayo (most vegetable oils, soy oil, sunflower seed oil, etc), and how much of an impact spending a little extra on the healthier fats can make on how you feel and even on body composition.

    I was a really weird version of keto for 2 years and went from 250lbs all the way down to 175lbs (I was a stick at that point). I ate fruit, nuts, dairy, and had the occasional cheat day of french fries, tacos, or pupusas about once a month and still reaped all the benefits. It's not nearly as bad as people say. You just need to find what works for you.

      @@TheChazaqingdude that's not bad info. Ketogenic diets arent really necessary. It's just a fad. I mean it has its uses, (pretty minimal honestly) but being in a caloric deficit and staying within your macros is literally the one answer to staying in your best condition; its literally impossible to lose weight if you're not in a cal def and this video even proves that as them doing OMAD is a form of intermittent fasting which keeps you in a caloric deficit. Now dont get me wrong, there is definitely nothing wrong with the ketogenic diet, but when people actually claim and believe that it is the *sole reason* for their weight loss, then that there my friend is what you call real "bad information".

    Damn I am so suprised it went so well for them, I thought for sure that these heavy liftin gym guys would say they hated it, I've heard a lot of people say that you shouldn't do it if youre very active. Even though they didn't stick with it, it just goes to show that it can work for even very active people (sort of) I'm about as active as a turtle most the day so I think it'd be a good one for me.
    I actually did try it for about 2 and a half weeks a bit ago and I loved it, but the holidays came so I decided I wanted sweet rolls more than I didnt want my fat rolls lol, BUT I recommend it very much so, I was tired a lot physically when the keto flu hit but my brain was so awake, and after the flu left, I felt amazing, and just like they said I never felt hungry, it was amazing and I can't wait to get back into it.
    Of course do your research first, especially if you try to get into sweet foods, some artificial sweeteners are still bad for the diet, and also I would recommend staying away from any "low carb breads" that contain wheat, that'll raise your insulin and mess with ketosis, its best to make breads and chips yourself.

    Keto has been kind of easy for me and I'm surprised I stuck with it for over a year. Your workouts get easier once you become fat adapted and up your potassium levels. I don't pay too much to macros and I'm always in ketosis.
    Stick to as much omega 3 fat sources as possible with some healthy saturated fat and MCT from coconut milk.
    For protein, grass fed beef, organic chicken, fish, and I never neglect my vegetables, especially avocados. For a salad dressing, I use olive oil, salt and lime juice. I also eat a small portion of strawberries regularly too, which are keto friendly in moderation.
    My diet switches between a keto diet and a paleo if I decide to cheat a bit. Definitely limit your cured meats including bacon. Cook scrambled eggs in olive oil instead of bacon fat.

    Dr Sten Ekberg pointed out in a video I just watched that Keto is really for ppl that are insulin resistant, Diabetic and when combined with IF is a great weight loss tool. Seems a lot of ppl miss out on these facts.

    • @neilxify
      @neilxify 3 года назад

      He didn’t say ‘only’ for people who are IR. once you are IS and no longer in danger of the risks, maintaining insulin sensitivity and generally improving overall health seems to be Dr Steen’s motivation for keto and IF. Autophagy features heavily in his goals, but that is more related to easier fasting when in ketosis.
