8 weeks 14 pounds, but disabled, due to stroke - can't move left side of body easily anymore. So losing weight without exercise more tricky but good so far. Keto is certainly helping me. I found it so easy to remove sugars and carbs from diet. :)
Unkindnessof Ravens I started the process while in restriction due to knee surgery. I went through periods of time where weight was constant for long periods but I could tell my body was changing. Then more weight would come off. Patience. If everything I just said is BS to you because you have waited already; review the foods and look for carbs leaking in, low salt intake, and low fats intake. If your average glucose is low (IMO, less than 90-95, but that’s MY number), your body is just changing and adapting. I dropped my first ~45lbs without exercise and just 18:6 and clean keto. After that, another 15-25lb on mixtures of OMAD, 16:8, 1-3 day fasts, and bad eating through the holidays.
@@AtTheLake91 Oh Raven, I'm so sorry to hear this because I really do know how you feel. I know how sometimes no matter what you do, you don't lose weight - yet others who eat less do lose weight. I can't claim to have gone far but I'm being weighed again on April 29 in the local hospital, when they check and measure me for lymphedema pressure garments - knee high sox - to help my lymphatic system to drain toxins from my body. I'm losing very slowly but I am happier than I've been in years (I was deeply unhappy, miserable until I started keto.) My mood has changed to, before I felt everything was hopeless. I had had to move to the countryside and live in an annexe above my sister's and her husband's house - as I need help with movement/leaving the house, due to the stroke. All these are regular side effects of a keto diet: weight loss, improved mood, clearer skin, insulin control - take a look for benefits of keto diet on the net! I found after a couple of weeks of being in ketosis I was never hungry. So that helped. What I do now, which I learned in the last couple of weeks, is to not eat when I get up (intermittent fasting), just have black coffee or tea. Then I have lunch around 1 or 2pm, when I start to feel "a bit peckish). Of course, that might not be suitable/possible for you, but you could experiment with timings and meals. I find it is really helping me to avoid eating when I'm not hungry. Also, due to the stroke, the only time I am mobile is when I go to a weekly 45 minute chair pilates class for people who have physical disabilities. Though yesterday I felt so motivated that I did 16 minutes walking on my treadmill burning 40 calories and walking 650 metres which is about .38 of a mile - just over a third - not a huge amount but normally I don't go anywhere without my stick and then it's more like 3 minutes walking. I would be very happy to speak with you more about what I eat, how I'm doing with the diet and keto, if you are interested. I do try to limit what I eat, for example, for lunch today I had 2 rashers of fried bacon, and a sliced avocado. I find it hard to keep up the keto fats but it has to be done. And this evening I am having Chicken Divin which is chicken, broccoli and a creamy garlic-y sauce. If you are not on a keto diet do please try it. I had no problem removing all sugars from my diet, though some do. It's so worth it. After about a month or so you not only start losing weight you also seem to tone up and notice body shape improvements. Here's another odd point, you have to have plenty of salt - the pink himilain stuff - for a keto diet. Do you get advice is possible from a keto knowing doctor as a regular one will just tell you it's too risky to do keto - but here in the UK the government is now looking at keto as the best way forward to lose weight healthily! Best of luck to you. By the way, for a friendly and simple approach to keto follow Dr.Berg's channel, he's great. You could also try Thomas DeLauer's site, while good he is a bit wordy and likes his technical info but I do recommend both.
That's a great result! And "luck" had nothing to do with it! You CHOSE to change your eating habits and stick with this long-term diet. Congratulations!
started with keto on january 23 2018 weighing 304 pounds. transitioned now into carnivore + IF and fast forward today I weigh 170 pounds , super energetic, libido through the roof and preserving muscle mass with minimal exercise. Yet my annoying uncle and aunt insist is dangerous. People are idiots.
Wow!! That is FABULOUS! Some people are SO foolish. If you aren't the perfect keto/carnivore/IF poster child (person) I don't know who would be. Very impressive pancakesOFDoom👍🏽
Because if it works, they would lose their victim status and have to take responsibility for their own diet. Lots of people just can't stand the idea that they've been wrong for soo long...
Great info from Dr.McDaniel and glad he wasn't trying to hawk us into buying another book. So, people, please stop throwing your money away on "keto" books. Most of them are filled with complicated recipes. There are a lot of people on RUclips that have real-life information to share. I don't count macros, don't keep a daily journal, never bought a ketosis stick and didn't download any confusing apps on my cell phone. Read the carbs on the label and you're done.
Ghost... exactly right. Keto doesn't need to be complicated at all. Count carbs, up the fat, drink more water, and learn about the benefits of short and long fasts.
Lisa x Keto with Denise is living this lifestyle & shares a lot of great info! She keeps even the scientific stuff simple & explains it in a way I can understand! Whereas, before, I just was not getting it at all! She gives free downloadable lists in the description box, has a quiz we can take to find out our numbers as well. Check her out!
Thank you to everybody is watch this video I hope it was helpful I'm a very smart man but I messed up a lot trying this all on my own it helps to know how you can mess up but also helps to know that you need to just continue this pattern of eating or way of eating forever if you have diabetes or hypertension seek the skilled help of someone who knows how to manage the medicines as you shift into a KETO way of eating
I’ll be honest...I thought your thumbnail was Jeff DANIELS in disguise! LOL. Everyone thinking about any low carb diet i.e. Adkins, Keto, Low Carb, etc etc should watch your video. Your no nonsense no hype approach is the only way to change long term. Ordinary people can’t keep up a “Frantic” diet and/or exercise approach for long term, and therefore ultimately relapse. I am around your age, I have a lot of weight to loose. I am twice the man and half the man I used to be. The only time I feel like how a thin person feels is when I’m restricting carbs. Normal hunger, clarity of mind, not food obsessed, etc. I am just beginning (again) and I have a long way to go, but trying to concentrate on today, thanks for the help! Good luck with your quest!
Thanks for your excellent and encouraging presentation. Totally agree that if it’s too complex or too expensive, it’s not sustainable for most of us. Keep it simple: for me, forget ketones, blood tests, urine sticks etc and just avoid sugars, carbs, fat bombs, snacking and all so-called keto friendly substitutes (eg nut flour keto breads, cakes) eat protein with it’s own fat, green leafy vegetables, eat only when hungry til you’re full then stop, learn to listen to your body; it knows what it needs. Still not easy and I’m constantly learning but it’s a journey and this video really helps. Thanks.
The way I've stayed on my Keto journey for 5 years is to let myself have one favorite meal "once" a month . Than for the rest of that day I go right back to Keto . I knew if I kept depriving myself I wouldn't stick with it. Some people don't agree to do this , but it also helped with my self control . Tell myself this is what your having , now stop whining & Keto on lol The other thing that's good about this is people can't tell you " That's too bad - you can't eat " blank" etc .. I tell them yes I can !! BTW my favorite is Chinese & I eat anything I want - for that meal :) WARNING you will feel bloated & put a couple pounds on , but it comes right back off !
Curtis Darr I’ve been very strict since July 16 th and my weight fluctuates a few pounds both ways, I started 155 ( and I’m a small person) got to 148 and stay in between this , I have not cheated, I don’t understand
@@neecyrebello9902 since July 16th is not very long. Give yourself time. Use a tape measure. Sometimes you lose inches even without losing pounds. Some people take longer than others. My brother-in-law lost 50lbs in 3 months. My husband lost 30 lbs in 2 years. However, he's been fighting weight his whole life, and he feels way better on keto than he did on calorie restriction.
@@neecyrebello9902 What don't you understand? Low carb or keto is not a super quick diet loss program. And it's not meant to be. It's meant to be a healthy way to lose weight. You should be losing 1 half pound to a pound a week. But that will fluctuate and even at a point stall. If you wanna lose weight a little faster try intermittent fasting and 2 meals A-day. Otherwise if you're not in it for the long haul you shouldn't be doing it at all. It's not a fad diet it's a nutritiish way of eating. I've been on it for 10 months and lost 30 pounds and that's the most I wanna lose. Im eating the same as I was when I started. And I'm not losing any more weight. Matter of fact now that I've been lifting weights I've gained about 7 to 10 pounds of muscle. And I'm 67. No small feat At my age.
people who don't have weight problems just don't get it. You can quit every other addictive element in your life and still live. You can't quit food, you have to learn how to live with it and overeating is an emotional issue. So many people think it's just about eating less and exercising more.. not even close
low carb with intermittent fasting and took 1 year to lose 32 lbs. It seems slow but nothing else has worked for me and being 65 yr I've tried alot! only 15 lbs left
@@michellethompson5755 hello twin. No I haven't lost the rest cause I lost my housing and living in my van with no frig so I keep up with 18:6 IF and I don't gain.
@rebecca phillips I guess it's just age. I've read the longer the weight has been on the longer to get it off. But it takes patience and eventually things will happen! I never used pee sticks. But I did eventually go mostly meat. And that really worked for me.
I think an alternative focus for the keto diet is to not treat it as a weight loss process, but as a blood sugar control regime. Get people to not check their ketones, but the Blood Sugar whilst on the diet, so they can see what foods do, and they can learn how to eat keep blood sugar under control...weight loss will then become a side affect.
Akane Cortich if ketones are normal or highish, insulin and blood glucose and are in good range, unless the person is taking mct oil or exogenous ketones high blood and high insulin = no ketones
@@winskelv the reason for a blood glucose focus is that is easier to monitor, and regardless of ketone levels the benefit is as great, and is likely to be closer to or over 0.5 BHB because of it. Blood sugar spikes/insulin spikes are the primary cause of most disease as they create a systemic inflammation. Controlling blood sugar can be said to be anti inflammatory in comparison to the usual diet. People find it hard to maintain weight loss diets, no matter the type if they cant readily see results. The beauty of BG monitoring is that you can check many times a day...and you learn what certain foods do. Thus that bun you want to eat...reminds you of a BS spike of 9.0 or so.. Now ketosis is anti inflammatory to a greater level because blood sugars are under control and it creates greater efficiency in muscle metabolism, whilst decreasing the efficiency of fat metabolism thereby fat requiring greater energy..thus more energy burnt. Keto diets now being used to treat cancer related cachexia which results in catastrophic muscle wasting and is the usual cause of death from cancer. Medicinal ketosis decreases that systemic inflammation caused by cancer metabolism. But my point is, for the prurpose of weight loss some people might benefit from a blood sugar focus than a weight/scale focus. In fact it would be a better learning process for them in the future as they can see the real evidence of what some foods actually do to them. cheers
It's easier than that. Eat no more than 20g of carbs a day and you will have wonderful blood sugar levels, unless something is seriously wrong with your body. No need to experiment with foods, etc. We've known the recipe for blood sugar control for over a hundred years.
This.is my motto I never liked any of the things I ate under Keto beef fish butter avocado I hate them, so i take them like i use to take my BP medicine once a day 😁
A REAL MIND SHIFTER STATEMENT, “You have to start thinking of food as medicine, not entertainment.” This hit me....BAM!! I’m writing this on a notecard and posting it in critical places in my kitchen...pantry, fridge, freezer, menu lists, recipe files and books, food prep areas, etc.
I was a vegetarian from the age of 18 for more than 25 years then got heart disease, despite my lower than average total cholesterol levels, being a non-smoker, a bit on the skinny side and extremely physically active. My life changed when I discovered Barry Groves (Eat Fat Get Thin) and I spent many years researching atherosclerosis. To cut a very long story short, I've found that the best way to discover whether you are in ketosis or veering off the right (biochemical) path is to monitor you triglyceride:HDL ratio every few months. The is one of the most significant medical discoveries ever in my opinion and is the most powerful predictor of heart disease known (ignore total cholesterol and LDL levels as they are completely irrelevant). The most important thing is 1) as high a level of HDL as you can manage (to achieve this, you must consume quite a lot of saturated fat such as butter, cheese, cream etc but even olive oil and coconut oil will help) 2) quit EVERYTHING with sugar and drastically reduce ALL forms of carbohydrates to maintain a low triglyceride level - the lower the better. A trig:HDL ratio less than 2.0 is recommended and with my high fat/carb free diet I often hit around 0.4. When I first presented with heart disease my ratio was above 6.0 even though my total cholesterol was much lower than average. Guess what? After 14 drug free years on my new diet, I lapsed sufficiently (dropped my guard) and my trig:HDL ratio again went above 6.0 resulting in a heart attack. Never again. That's when I discovered the simple and cheap way of monitoring whether one is on the right biochemical path by regularly measuring the trig:HDL ratio. (Incidentally, if your results are in mmol/l, as in the U.K, then you have to convert it to mg/dl using on online converter.)
I am 70 years of age lost 40 pounds in 4 months and 6 and a half inches around the belly, BP is great, no additional excercise, Keto is easy regards to all

Good point at around the13:00 min. mark. Go on Keto for at least 3 months before starting an exercise program. You want to heal all the cell damage from the exess sugar you had in your body. But, I'm not a Doctor.
Yes, that's exactly what I did. I spent 3 months learning how to eat (and losing 40 lbs). I did some walking, but not every day or anything strenuous. About 3 weeks ago, I bought a Fitbit Charge 3. I move every hour, work hard to meet the daily activity minutes, and am working daily to incrementally increase steps, minutes, and miles.
Although I eat keto and have been on it for six months, and plan on staying on it, I would have to say it is not for everyone. I turned around my pre-diabetes and got rid of my acid reflux. I had enough energy to exercise since I lost 25 pounds and now my blood pressure is perfect. What I’m saying is everyone is an individual and there is no one diet that’s good for everyone. What I would to do is try a different way of eating for 2 to 3 months and see what that does for you. Keto did it for me maybe Paleo or vegan or even carnivore would do it for you. for you. If it’s helping with medical conditions or you’re losing the weight that you need to then maybe that’s the one you need to stay on. Point is pick one and then be consistent with it. And Just eat real food.
Yeah I'd agree with that although tbh keto is a LOT easier than I imagined. I'm 3 years in, occasionally I eat some bread and if I do I fast the next day (to burn off the sugars) and get right back into keto. I do find I crave low carb foods a lot more the longer I do it (I have had some carby choc, xmas 2 years ago and it just left me feeling really unsatisfied so that actually helps stay away from them). I also found low carb/keto got rid of my acid reflux, which used to be really bad and is now non existent. I'm lucky my BP has always been low so that hasn't changed. Fasting glucose went from 6.2 to 5 and has stayed there.
kickn-aDead-cat , Yeah. Whatever diet you considered, Kick the sugar, refined and processed food out! I kinda of keto but don't really stick to keto, I managed to stay off 2 meds!
Yeah I agree! Especially with eating real food. Like really... real food that isn’t stripped of nutrients while being processed. We couldn’t eat wheat without processing. We also don’t see olive oil trees, we see whole olives filled with fibre & lots of micronutrients.
Added tip. When you first do keto you can lose a lot of fluid, and that means Na salt, and K Potassium. And if at the beginning you do keto too hard for a while you could put yourself into hypokalemia especially if you are exercising a lot and sweating. You need to add potassium, such as a Lite salt, which is 50% potassium salt. So if you find your heart suddenly races from time to time for no apparent reason whilst on keto...its potassium probably.
67 yrs old. After 6 weeks, -35 lbs. So far my A1C went from 7.4 to 6.0, my cholesterol from 212 to 115, my fasting BS went from 150 to 88, I have LOTS of energy and my stress and anxiety levels are so low now that I can actually leave the house without my Service Dog sometimes. After all of this, my Reg Dietician still focuses on Keto not being sustainable, in her view. She even handed me the dreaded "plate" graphic of what we are supposed to eat to make the corn, soy, and sugar farmers happy...not to mention the pharmaceutical companies. There is absolutely ONE reason that Keto fails. The person doing Keto makes a decision to go back to the old way of eating. Sadly its the American way. I want what I want, when I want it. If "they" can have it, I want it too.
Do you use an app and monitor calories, carbs fats and protein? I can’t stay at the 1380 cals ... I’m 59 and I’m doing most stuff right. I’m so happy for your weight loss!
@@EnvironmentalCoffeehouse I use Carb Manager App to track macros etc. The Free version is all you need. I find myself most days with under 15 carbs without even thinking about it now. I now normally eat just one meal a day without any cravings to deal with. Some days I must make myself eat more calories as I only take in 300-500 some days. Feeling great.
I totally agree. We're the very same in the UK. That's one of the reasons the advice I gave above was to see a doctor who is knowledge about keto or they will just advise against it. I've not felt this great in a few years. My blood pressure is down my cholesterol has dropped from 6 to 2.25, my bp was regularly around 180/150 and is now more like 120/80 which is the UK's healthy recommendation. :)
Low-carb, ketogenic, meat-based, etc diets have been used by doctors for centuries to treat obesity and diabetes, starting at least in the 1700s. Such diets remained within the mainstream until the fear-mongering shifted into high gear in the '60s and '70s. Up to the point of the new 1980 high-carb and low-fat USDA recommendations, scientific conferences regularly had speakers on low-carb and such. Then all opposing voices were almost fully silenced by the 1990s after the consensus conference.
I remember back in the mid 70s, in my early teens, when they started coming out with low fat cake. My mom and I used to joke that they had to add more sugar to make up for the lack of taste. And damn if we weren't right.
Thank you for this video. It's way long, but hearing this info from a doctor means more than hearing it from a friend. I have been Keto/Carni since Aug. 2020. I am 74, diabetic. I have lost 30 pounds (not enough but getting there slowly), my A1C was 5.5 yesterday (home test kit), I dropped my Statin and BP med.(I checked it daily for 8 months to do this).My BP w/o meds is usually 118-125/75-85. To repeat your words.....drop sugar, including fruits, drop carbs. You do not need to check Ketones, I do sometimes, and am always disappointed. Drop Ketosticks and calorie restrictions.I do best to STAY OFF the scales as I am always disappointed. OH, I should say...I am a sugar addict. If I have it I will eat it and eat it all! Thank you, thank you. Best wishes for you and your wife to stay the course!
Finally! An Atlanta doc who understands keto. I’ve lost 46# over the last year following Dr. Jason Fung and hope to convert my overweight Piedmont Physician doc and his overweight staff by example.
Lots of wisdom here my friends especially with measuring ketones all the time. Let's get back to the basics. If you have to go back to the donation bin in the basement in order to find those 20 years old pants that were so small thst is a good move. That stuff can turn into a religion so fast especially in our digital era with all these apps. Better sleep better libido less craving etc. You are on the right track.
One will naturally be in ketosis if carbs are kept to 25 total or less for at least a week. Once you are efficiently burning fat and ketones, there won't be any residue showing up in your urine or blood, so it's hard to judge if one is in ketosis or not. But if you're not very hungry, if you feel good, if you're not eating carbs.. you're in ketosis.
This was a great video. I've been doing keto for 2 years and have heard all of the negatives. It works for me and is my new way of life. I've maintained my 30 lbs weight loss.
Great information. I wish I could get my obese diabetic husband to get on board with the ketogenic diet. I’ve been in it for 5 months now. Can’t see myself eating any differently!!
I have a diabetic dil and am very cautious about broaching this subject with her. My husband and I are good examples but I would very much have her test drive this way of eating. I do not want my son or grandsons to be diabetics. So I really do not know what to do;(
Cross777 , would buying only animal fats and animal proteins work, and slowly throw away all the carbohydrates work, starting with the breakfast carbohydrates? If you fed him carnivore (only animal fats and animal proteins), you might be able to get him off of the carbohydrates. Also, there are keto recipes for pancakes and other foods. I found a keto recipe for pancakes, but leave out the honey. I use sufficient butter to make the pancakes taste really good.
Kimberly Cooper I do make keto coconut pancakes and he will eat those. But than will binge on other carbs, sugars, and junk food throughout the day. He has an addiction to food!!
Great video towards individuals to take responsibility for there health. This video should be the nucleus used against the universal health care for all discussions promoted by governments all over the world.I personally don't want to pay higher taxes or higher premiums for a health care system that promotes or allows individuals to not take responsibility for there health.There has to be a line drawn between, self induced and pre existing conditions.
i think you've missed the point of a universal health care system. It is there for everybody when they need it, and when managed properly can actually cut out a lot of waste (i live in a country where we have a universal basic healthcare system - it saved my life on a couple of occasions, and at one stage worked for the organisation managing it) . I think your attitude towards self induced and pre-existing conditions has issues too - how can you deny a person healthcare because they were born with a condition? how can you deny a person healthcare because they followed misleading guidelines or weren't educated in what was good or bad for them, or simply could afford the healthier choices? Sure, people should take responsibility for their health.. but government also has a role to play - and not simply supporting the big businesses behind it at the expense of the people who cant afford it as seems to be the case in the USA ( oh and BTW, contrary to what the current leadership of the USA says, its not exactly socialism looking out for the little people in your society either)
Stanb662000 They aren’t teaching real medicine at universities. Who wants to pay high taxes for bad info. You likely won’t need a Dr. if you follow keto and a healthy lifestyle. I will pay out of pocket then. Way cheaper.
@@mntngirl4512 I dont dispute that a healthy diet, and LCHF certainly seems to fit into that category will reduce the need for medical assistance however I disagree that costs are way cheaper. - for my own history over the last 20 years I have had 3 medical interventions that in the later 2 cases I simply could not have afforded if it wasn't for our medicare system. The first was a case of pneumonia. 3 courses of Antibiotics at a subsidized rate cured that one. The second was a car accident where i crushed a vertebrate... 3 weeks hospitalization, multiple Xrays, MRIs etc, surgery from one of the finest neuro surgeons in town to put $40000 worth of metal work to hold it all together, and 12 months of physio, and the op to remove said metal work all at $0 direct costs and 4 years ago had an abscessed tooth that was dong its best to kill me - a week in hospital ( 36 hours of which was under unaesthetic, and involved a airbourne transfer between hospitals) , the op to remove said tooth and be pumped full of antibiotics, and follow ups again all at $0 all this has cost me is an extra 2% on my income tax . Can you understand now why everybody who lives under schemes like this looks at the USA and shakes their head in disbelief at the opposition to any public health scheme?
Stanb662000 Medicare is for the elderly and if we didn’t eat the crap out food industry puts out we would live into our 90’s like my grandparents did. Yes we need Medicare for the elderly but I’m totally against universal healthcare until they do something about the poison they are deliberately feeding us. It will be mediocre health care at best.
@@mntngirl4512 I can see its very hard for someone who hasnt experienced a universal medicare system to see the advantages - the healthcare available here is anything but mediocre, tho waiting times for elective surgery is always a political hot potato, anything potentially life threatening is treated immediately. Its not a perfect system by any means , but it does have the advantage of making healthcare available to those who cannot afford private cover ( which is also available). I cant dispute that government should do way more reduce the crap the food industry puts out - it can be done ( here in Aus its been done wth tobacco - a single cigarette costs over $1 - with a packt of cheap 30s costing $35 or more theres a big financial incentive to give up ). Until organisations such as the AHA ( and the international organisations that follow its guidelines) recognize that the advice they have been giving has caused more illness than its stopped nothings is going to change. Sadly, I Think these industry funded organisations are going to follow the pattern set by the tobacco and fossil fuel industries.. and go down fighting
I grew up in Bogotá,Colombia.My Mom cooking was based on fresh vegetables,legumes,fruits, and herbs , In my school we’re not vending machines with crap,not vending machines that’ll, each student had to bring their snacks, we did have lunch at school ,the menu was supervised and approved by the Dietitian, I remembered her walking in the dining room looking our food and how it’s was served. Our staple drink was milk 🥛.no seconds, I don’t remember obesity was a problem .In conclusion healthy lifestyle starts at home with the school on board and with yourself taking ownership of what do you bring into your mouth. Sadly today’s the obesity is a worldwide epidemic problem.
Hello.....in your slide presentation on Mistake 6, you presented that “Fat in your blood is mainly due to dietary Carbohydrates.” I am wondering where you got that information from. I would like to research that myself. Thanks, very though provoking presentation.
Hi Mike Kosty, Many thanks for your message. Unfortunately, the Doctors who present on the Adapt Channel don’t see these messages once the video is older than around a week. We do however have a very helpful article on how eating carbohydrates cause saturated fat in the blood. www.dietdoctor.com/carbs-affect-cholesterol
Pretty sure I agreed with every mistake listed. Testing blood glucose could have been better emphasized. That's the only way to determine how you personally metabolize carbs. It broke the case for me. Lost a 100 lbs after that. Never bothered with ketones testing as the front end of sugar intake was the predominant saboteur. Appreciate the tip about fat bombs haha coffee creamer butter cups etc.

Been already a month. No weight loss, probably because I still struggle with binge eating a lot and although I haven't binged in carbs, it's still something that happens frequently. I dont get hungry and yet I binge, due to habit I guess. Anyone else experienced this?
In my experience, you won't lose any weight eating more calories than you need, even with the metabolic advantage that keto gives. Keto will shield you from the negative effects of your binge eating, as long as you're within the range of carbs your body likes ( 20g a day is kind of a gold standard ). You solved one problem with keto, but you're still looking down the barrel of another. You may want to try some different approaches with your eating. Particularly, ones that are structured, like intermittent fasting.
Eat more fat and leafy greens. If you're gorging yourself on lean meats, you're not going to get satiated and all the protein is gonna start to act like sugar once the liver processes it, then your pancreas will release insulin and it'll be like you're eating carbs all over again.(gluconeogenesis) Eat the leafy greens/cruciferous veg for volume sake. you're not gonna be able to binge on that unless you want your stomach to explode.
Dr cywes is the carb addiction doc. We all have to change our relationship with food. First is acknowledging theres a problem :) you can try different things like eating salads to stretch your stomach while increasing fats. Never eat more than 3x a day. Never drink your calories unless it is a meal in itself but advise against it. No fat bombs of fatty keto coffee. Stick below 20 total carbs. Avoid bars and almond flour goods. I would make a ketorade and when i felt emotional Id drink til my stomach was full. It takes 3.mins for our brain to get over it so distract yourself. Shower, brush teeth, anything. Even an elastic band around the wrist can help.
I had a CT of the chest and it showed calcium buildup at the Aortic Loop area. It did not have a CAC test for the score. My doctor has ordered a stress test and echocardiam. He said it is not important that I have the score as the CT shows a calcium buildup. He said that the other two test will show whether I have a blockage. Is it important that I have the CAC score?
Hi Jeff, Great talk. You just surprised me with your remark about the egg whites. I was under the impression that eggs are good (0.3 gr carb per egg). Can you elaborate on that thanks. Bas
Practice fasting at least 12 hours at a time, practice fasting with eating eggs, cheese and meat if you do eat. Just messed around doing it as much as I can ( mostly weekends ) and lost 20 pounds in 2 months mostly sitting on my butt in the dead of winter.
Keto isn't king your losing weight but not exercising because you have cessation. If you were active and only ate when hungry and complex carbs you would of been fine you have a mitochondrial dysfunction and now you can't metabolise the carbs/sugar.
I don't exactly just sit on my butt all day, it mostly meant I'm not jogging all over town or working out in a gym. I was primarily pointing out how you can lose weight without the ' heavy ' exercise. People with bad knees or can hardly walk can still lose weight. Some people once they lose some of the weight can THEN do some more exercise.
I didn't really hear the mistakes you made when you were doing keto.....I was looking for something to help me fine tune my program. Especially because I also had gastric sleeve surgery. I eat very little calories a day...I make fruit and vegetable powders into juice / protein / fat / vitamin smoothies which I drink nearly every day and try to eat food only during the 8 hours that I am at work to do the intermittent fasting. but my weight loss has stalled. I have some loose skin... ugh. Feel better than I ever did on carbs though. so much better.
Garth Burnett the smoothies may be the cause of your problem. Two reasons, fruit is high in carbs even if you are eating low carb fruit, secondly, blending them destroys the fiber and releases all the sugar thereby causing more sugar to be absorbed. Cut out the smoothies and see how that goes.
Dr. McDaniel, can you tell me if there are any Dr’s in the Columbus Ga area that uses the Keto Diet for patients? We have a Piedmont Hospital! If you ever come to Columbus for a seminar I would love to come to it!!!
Hi Cynthia Sanders, The Adapt Chanel has different guest speakers on this channel. If you subscribe to this channel, you will hear about upcoming Adapt Events in different cities.
I don't see a keto doctor in my area. However, I gave the book "The Obesity Code" by Dr. Jason Fung, MD, to my doctor. My doctor is now on board with me using keto.
MY take away message if you over think about just ketosis as if something new going on inside our body then it's expensive while if you look at the side of restricting carbs and not bothering about ketosis.it's normal.
Ketones from Urine is not indicative of ketosis, it only appears in urine as an over flow of ketones at the beginning of the ketone diet, and then will decline. The only measure of on going ketosis is blood ketones..via a small hand held ketone moniter. People are going to be disappointed if they rely on urine analysis, which also measures a different type of ketone.
Akane Cortich of course ketones in the urine are absolutely indicative of ketosis,It is the absence of ketones in the urine which is not indicative of ketosis or otherwise, which is what I think you meant to say . A ketone blood monitor is useful but get one that also measures glucose because that will help you determine what causes your insulin to spike
@@AdaptYourLife Thank you so much, I have been off of meds for a couple of yrs now. My bp seems to be doing great but having trouble keeping my bs down, so I have to do something.. :) Thank you so much
Very enjoyable talk . After 5 years on my Keto journey I'm starting to see an up rising trend of people being scared off Keto by their Doctors . Mostly due to their Cholesterol levels getting higher & wanting to put them on a statin . Sure you can tell them to change doctors , but some have been with the same one for years . This is the only down fall I see unless more doctors jump on board .:(
I've been on keto as long as you, and i remember that it used to be worse. You were genuinely considered insane for doing the diet. Now doctors have at least heard of it. if your doctor refuses to learn new information, you need a new doctor. It doesn't matter how much history you have with him/her. i'd rather lose the history than be harmed out of ignorance.
Yes my family & friends were the worse on scaring me about consuming fat . I had pre diabetes & high cholesterol , Dr. told me if I didn't lose weight I would be put on medication for both . Came home Googled " Diet for Diabetes " .. Low Carb came up among others . Followed many RUclipsrs - Butter Bob was my favorite :)
Question, can you have a milk allergy on keto? Like butter. I have ibs and I already have wheat problems. Could there be milk problems when using butter?
This is good. Thank you. I'm transitioning to a LCHF diet. 'Transitioning' because I haven't sorted it all out yet, but I am doing an 8/16 eat/fast for three weeks now. (Cheating a half hour is a huge thrill. I haven't enjoyed eating this much since we used to steal tomatoes from the boss's patch. And waiting an extra hour, or finishing up in the evening an hour early, I want stand around and scowl with pride). The one counter thing I'd like to share is whole oats. I know it's a starch and carb... About 14 years ago I started paddling a sea kayak, enjoyed it so much I'd wear myself out. Loved it. I was trying to watch what I ate, cut out all restaurants.... keto was part of all this, but I didn't know it at the time. Lost 50 pounds and until about two years ago kept off 40, no problem. In the past year I put on another ten. Now I want to lose the 20. I'm not going to be on any keto posters, but those 16 hour fasts aren't all that difficult, so I'm probably mostly doing it right. Okay. (And I understand that I probably started the daily fasts too soon, but it's working and I like it.) About the oatmeal. Two eggs in a cup or so of Quaker whole oats, some yogurt (Trader Joe's but sugar and low fat... next shopping trip I'll get it right) Clearly this is far from a keto diet. However, what I have found for almost my entire adult life: if I eat this for breakfast, or as my first meal of the day-- I'm good until supper. I understand LCHF. This is as close to what I'm now doing with LCHF as I think I ever got with the HCLF eating. When I used to fast just over night for a 10 am fasting blood draw, I was cranky all morning, starving. Now 16 hour daily fasts-- no problem. Yesterday I went 22 hours, no problem. The 'conventional wisdom' is that oatmeal has fiber, it's a whole grain, (it's for horses, but in Scotland they feed it to people-- Dr Johnson) and it digests more slowly.... Maybe it does. I'll probably cut it out once I run out, but I think my experience with it is at least interesting. (Maybe it's like methadone.) For my constant snacking, now it's not much of a problem. In the window 10 am - 6pm I can do whatever I want, but instead of a popsicle and popcorn and whatever, I'll have only one or two of them.) One trick for staying away from things like cookies and chips, I immediately say, even if only to myself, "I don't eat that." The other part of my brain immediately shouts, "Hey, wait a minute!" but it's too late. It's like the other kid got the last piece, nothing you can do. But when I did snack it was often like watching someone else do it. It's human nature, it's hard to turn down a cookie...it's a puzzle, but I think it's on its way to being solved.
@@dana102083 Let's see if I can copy and paste them: (this is 26 lines vertical and G... 7 columns across) (Also my comment is a year old. I've been Keto for a year now. Macronutrient, cal percentages, daily weight, exercise log in a database, that can be converted to a pdf. I made the database in Filemaker Pro. About a month ago I realized I'd been comparing grams to grams to grams for my daily fat, net carb, protein percentages. So I corrected it. The result is that I've been extremely low carb for the year. It's funny, Dr Sten and some Keto sources were recommending some carbs and I couldn't figure out how it was possible to consume them and still be in the Keto zone. Duh. (on me). I've also been mostly intermittent fasting for the year. 16/8. I lost weight, went on a trip, usual, usual.... put some back on. So I think Keto is weight loss because fats fill you up and you never feel desperately hungry. To lose weight I have to count calories and exercise. Excercise and Keto make it really easy to cut 10-20% calories day after day. Low fat and low carb made me insanely desperate for cookies. I tried this several years ago. It was an interesting two months. I still remember a few of the cookie dreams. I also did keto 15 years ago and dropped over 40 pounds, that have mostly stayed off. I knew I was 'burning fat' but couldn't find any sources that could explain what was happening. I'd go kayaking, burn off all my glycogen, (hit the wall), paddle back to shore slower, but then I felt great and not hungry so I didn't eat for a couple hours. My body temp was raised a bit and I was losing a couple pounds per week. My latest numbers below are from last December, LDL was raised. I'd been super-keto for 4 months, and almost keto for an additional month.

@@WillN2Go1 hey thanks for replying! I never know who will ;) are those your comments on the bicarb and anion gap scores? Ketoacidosis is ONLY when sugar and ketones are both high and i will presume you're not type 1 diabetic or having beta cell dysfunction (insulin use in type 2 diabetes until pancreas tuckers out). If it was a blood draw venous vs an arterial blood gas also change interpretation. Im glad to hear you've crossed over! Ketones supplement so much more than the other diets. You said it..straight into cookies. I know a lot of scared people wont do keto all the way but its making it harder for them. But addictions are hard. Im a recovering binge eater myself. Glad you have timed eating as well! I eat once a day now for over 2 yrs and can't eat more. More carbs equals less protein. Oh the one thing i wanted to mention was about weight loss and calories. The% given 5, 20, 75 are % of calories. I see it this way: eat protein for your size and lean body mass. Multiply by 1.5 for fat grams for weight loss. 1.75 to 2x for maintenance. So 70g protein for me is up to a max of 105g fat, but up to a max of 140g fat at maintenance. I like your willingness to share and learn :) I have a keto for chronic disease management group on FB if you wanna pop by and say hello! :)
@@dana102083 You know a lot more than I do. About the binge eating and constant snacking, it's still there. It's more something to do than anything else. A nervous tick. One way I try to handle it is I buy bags of sunflower kernals, 69% choc chips, pecans (I roast and add olive oil and salt), then I weigh out 28 or 30 grams put it in little 3x3 bags I get on Amazon. A handful is a vague amount that leads to a little bit more... Those little bags count. These were all blood tests. Artery or vein? No clue. I know there are two kinds of LDL one from a keto diet the other that's the 'bad stuff' I've never had these measured. Thanks for the invite
@@WillN2Go1 well im a bit of a video watcher with my health issues..it doesnt hurt being an RN ;) i give myself a quarter cup rule for cream, berries and nuts during weight loss and not much more during maintenance wither. Glad you make your own roasted nuts though! I really try to minimize my insulin spikes even in my window of eating. You seem to be very active and thats great but not sure if its enough to counteract the effects of rising insulin more frequently. Are you in weight loss mode or fine where you're at? That may make a difference too. :)
where can I find him, I live In Atlanta and I am doing the keto diet but I am also looking for a keto friendly doctor ..I think I may have found someone
I have watched a lot of keto presentations in the last few months and this is the first time I have had a presenter say this is a reduced calorie diet. I still think a person can eat too many calories by ignoring the feeling of satiety. I watched Dr. Berry yesterday and he hinted or suggested to overeat on this diet. I'm not sure that is true but I am glad to hear from this Dr. that it is a reduced calorie diet. What happens if you eat too much on this diet? Anyone know?
William Branham thanks for your comment. Calories definitely matter. Weight loss is achieved because this way of eating causes a natural calorie deficit. Hunger goes away. Consuming too many calories will ultimately lead to weight gain.
Just found you....I have been ketoing for over 1 year...Dr Berg keto..says 20 % carbs....I am 55 ...looking to remove 25 post menopausal lbs...loss of only 9 lbs....maybe Macros wrong? I feel great..energy is awesome....please advise
jackie prieto why do people ask for individualized medical advice in the comment section?? Seriously, reconsider taking medical advise from random commenters and find a professional.
Jackie prieto...yes prob not right macros....if you cut out sugar and carbs already, it could be too much protein or too much fat in a day. No snacks. Hope you find the support you need! Keep going.
20% carbs sounds like way too much. Dr Berg is a generalist and plays loose and fast with information, unfortunately.. 20g of carbs is closer to what keto should be.
Just as a follow up...jackie prieto...I added mct oil blended fast into my coffee...dropped 5 more pounds after a long plateau! Maybe you need medium chain fatty triglycerides in morning!
Dr berg never said 20% carbs. You got it wrong. He said 5% carbs, that is around 20-50g net carbs and less depending on your body size. Yes, you can aim for less for than 20g if you want to get into ketosis faster.
We were at Costco today a guy next to me was looking at the prime strip steaks he said I’m trying to get my hands around the price of these but the marbling of fat is fantastic much better than choice. Yes I agreed but I said I need the fat because I’m on keto and he said so am I I’ve lost 32 pounds and I was prediabetic I don’t know this guy but we shook hands and did a high-five we are becoming a group of folks and it’s happening everywhere yes we both went for the steaks after all tomorrow is Father’s Day
Easy to see that we moved away from the natural human diet with refined foods. I suspect that the dysfunction helps keep people docile/in low energy So it is encouraged.
Thank You, Dr. McDaniel the information was relatable and very valuable. It's also nice to know that there is a Medical professional (M.D.) in Georgia that supports this way of living. 😃
I was wondering if someone was going to bring that up!! It is so annoying I stopped watching. Sounds like someone rolling a big piece of cellophane in their hands.
Not sure. Maybe because his method wasn't entirely the right approach? Dr Atkins was largely correct but his main mistake was to assume that protein is broken down by fatty acid metabolism (it isn't) and just concentrated on avoiding sugars/carbs. To maintain ketosis one must have a greater fat intake than both protein and carbs combined.
I have the opposite problem. I'm on a low carb diet. No processed, refined food, etc.. I'm skinny and want to gain weight. Super hard. Exercise a lot but can not gain weight without carbs.
@@AdaptYourLife what type of carbs too add.. pasta,sourdough,rice or like dr paul saladino fruit and honey? How many grams on lower carb day vs higher carb day?
The tests help me learn what works. If the tests show K then the food is on track. When I see no K then I messed up and need to adjust that meal to meet my needs. The test strips are a learning tool. I also test for Glucose I am a Diabetic.
Dr. McDaniel has helped my whole family. He has been our family doctor for 15 years. This diet worked well for us.
You're lucky to have him as a doctor. Jennifer 😂
8 weeks 14 pounds, but disabled, due to stroke - can't move left side of body easily anymore. So losing weight without exercise more tricky but good so far. Keto is certainly helping me. I found it so easy to remove sugars and carbs from diet. :)
Unkindnessof Ravens I started the process while in restriction due to knee surgery. I went through periods of time where weight was constant for long periods but I could tell my body was changing. Then more weight would come off. Patience. If everything I just said is BS to you because you have waited already; review the foods and look for carbs leaking in, low salt intake, and low fats intake. If your average glucose is low (IMO, less than 90-95, but that’s MY number), your body is just changing and adapting. I dropped my first ~45lbs without exercise and just 18:6 and clean keto. After that, another 15-25lb on mixtures of OMAD, 16:8, 1-3 day fasts, and bad eating through the holidays.
@@AtTheLake91 Oh Raven, I'm so sorry to hear this because I really do know how you feel. I know how sometimes no matter what you do, you don't lose weight - yet others who eat less do lose weight. I can't claim to have gone far but I'm being weighed again on April 29 in the local hospital, when they check and measure me for lymphedema pressure garments - knee high sox - to help my lymphatic system to drain toxins from my body. I'm losing very slowly but I am happier than I've been in years (I was deeply unhappy, miserable until I started keto.) My mood has changed to, before I felt everything was hopeless. I had had to move to the countryside and live in an annexe above my sister's and her husband's house - as I need help with movement/leaving the house, due to the stroke. All these are regular side effects of a keto diet: weight loss, improved mood, clearer skin, insulin control - take a look for benefits of keto diet on the net!
I found after a couple of weeks of being in ketosis I was never hungry. So that helped. What I do now, which I learned in the last couple of weeks, is to not eat when I get up (intermittent fasting), just have black coffee or tea. Then I have lunch around 1 or 2pm, when I start to feel "a bit peckish). Of course, that might not be suitable/possible for you, but you could experiment with timings and meals. I find it is really helping me to avoid eating when I'm not hungry.
Also, due to the stroke, the only time I am mobile is when I go to a weekly 45 minute chair pilates class for people who have physical disabilities. Though yesterday I felt so motivated that I did 16 minutes walking on my treadmill burning 40 calories and walking 650 metres which is about .38 of a mile - just over a third - not a huge amount but normally I don't go anywhere without my stick and then it's more like 3 minutes walking. I would be very happy to speak with you more about what I eat, how I'm doing with the diet and keto, if you are interested. I do try to limit what I eat, for example, for lunch today I had 2 rashers of fried bacon, and a sliced avocado. I find it hard to keep up the keto fats but it has to be done. And this evening I am having Chicken Divin which is chicken, broccoli and a creamy garlic-y sauce. If you are not on a keto diet do please try it. I had no problem removing all sugars from my diet, though some do. It's so worth it. After about a month or so you not only start losing weight you also seem to tone up and notice body shape improvements. Here's another odd point, you have to have plenty of salt - the pink himilain stuff - for a keto diet. Do you get advice is possible from a keto knowing doctor as a regular one will just tell you it's too risky to do keto - but here in the UK the government is now looking at keto as the best way forward to lose weight healthily! Best of luck to you. By the way, for a friendly and simple approach to keto follow Dr.Berg's channel, he's great. You could also try Thomas DeLauer's site, while good he is a bit wordy and likes his technical info but I do recommend both.
@@susanobrien4380i hope things have progressed well.
Recently started on keto. Lost 23 pounds so far. Wish me luck.
Gaelle MAZ Good luck 👍🍀
That's a great result! And "luck" had nothing to do with it! You CHOSE to change your eating habits and stick with this long-term diet. Congratulations!
started with keto on january 23 2018 weighing 304 pounds. transitioned now into carnivore + IF and fast forward today I weigh 170 pounds , super energetic, libido through the roof and preserving muscle mass with minimal exercise. Yet my annoying uncle and aunt insist is dangerous. People are idiots.
Wow!! That is FABULOUS! Some people are SO foolish. If you aren't the perfect keto/carnivore/IF poster child (person) I don't know who would be. Very impressive pancakesOFDoom👍🏽
Obviously it much less dangerous to be 304 pounds. 🤔
Because if it works, they would lose their victim status and have to take responsibility for their own diet. Lots of people just can't stand the idea that they've been wrong for soo long...
Wow, that's incredible! Congratulations on your personal success 👍
You are where I want to be!! Do u eat a lot of protein?
Great info from Dr.McDaniel and glad he wasn't trying to hawk us into buying another book. So, people, please stop throwing your money away on "keto" books. Most of them are filled with complicated recipes. There are a lot of people on RUclips that have real-life information to share. I don't count macros, don't keep a daily journal, never bought a ketosis stick and didn't download any confusing apps on my cell phone. Read the carbs on the label and you're done.
A lot of whole foods don't have labels, so it's useful to check for carbs on a dietary app, especially one geared to Keto or carb counting.
Ghost... exactly right. Keto doesn't need to be complicated at all. Count carbs, up the fat, drink more water, and learn about the benefits of short and long fasts.
Thank you!🤦🏻♀️There is waaaayyyy to much info out there and I’m discouraged. I needed that simplicity and it’s much appreciated
Lisa x Keto with Denise is living this lifestyle & shares a lot of great info! She keeps even the scientific stuff simple & explains it in a way I can understand! Whereas, before, I just was not getting it at all! She gives free downloadable lists in the description box, has a quiz we can take to find out our numbers as well. Check her out!
Absolutely. Keep it simple!
9 months and 90 pounds lost doing keto and IF. For 10+ years I tried everything my doctor and nutritionist told me to do and gained weight.
Congratulations!!
James Woods me too😂🙏
Thank you to everybody is watch this video I hope it was helpful I'm a very smart man but I messed up a lot trying this all on my own it helps to know how you can mess up but also helps to know that you need to just continue this pattern of eating or way of eating forever if you have diabetes or hypertension seek the skilled help of someone who knows how to manage the medicines as you shift into a KETO way of eating
Thank YOU Dr McDaniel! Thank you for your story, your honesty, for being brave enough to share it all.... and for saving lives. 👏👏👏
What a delight it was to come across your video. It was earnest , touching and inspiring. Thank you!
We will pin this comment to the top.
Your presentation was excellent and your video is doing exceptionally well.
Thank you Doctor McDaniel.
Trying to find a like minded doctor in the Auburn, Alabama area.... any help would be appreciated.
I’ll be honest...I thought your thumbnail was Jeff DANIELS in disguise! LOL. Everyone thinking about any low carb diet i.e. Adkins, Keto, Low Carb, etc etc should watch your video. Your no nonsense no hype approach is the only way to change long term. Ordinary people can’t keep up a “Frantic” diet and/or exercise approach for long term, and therefore ultimately relapse. I am around your age, I have a lot of weight to loose. I am twice the man and half the man I used to be. The only time I feel like how a thin person feels is when I’m restricting carbs. Normal hunger, clarity of mind, not food obsessed, etc. I am just beginning (again) and I have a long way to go, but trying to concentrate on today, thanks for the help! Good luck with your quest!
Thanks for your excellent and encouraging presentation. Totally agree that if it’s too complex or too expensive, it’s not sustainable for most of us. Keep it simple: for me, forget ketones, blood tests, urine sticks etc and just avoid sugars, carbs, fat bombs, snacking and all so-called keto friendly substitutes (eg nut flour keto breads, cakes) eat protein with it’s own fat, green leafy vegetables, eat only when hungry til you’re full then stop, learn to listen to your body; it knows what it needs. Still not easy and I’m constantly learning but it’s a journey and this video really helps. Thanks.
Problem with refined carbs is that they Are addictive in their effect. Even having a small amount creates a strong desire for more.
Penny plz post the name of the free keto app?
The way I've stayed on my Keto journey for 5 years is to let myself have one favorite meal "once" a month . Than for the rest of that day I go right back to Keto . I knew if I kept depriving myself I wouldn't stick with it. Some people don't agree to do this , but it also helped with my self control . Tell myself this is what your having , now stop whining & Keto on lol The other thing that's good about this is people can't tell you " That's too bad - you can't eat " blank" etc .. I tell them yes I can !! BTW my favorite is Chinese & I eat anything I want - for that meal :) WARNING you will feel bloated & put a couple pounds on , but it comes right back off !
Facts..
Omed if I have 150 mg of carbs the pounds pack in and I don't get no where! I'm starting with 20 milligrams because I want that fat gone!

I’ve been very strict since July 16 th and my weight fluctuates a few pounds both ways, I started 155 ( and I’m a small person) got to 148 and stay in between this , I have not cheated, I don’t understand
Me2 Neecy! Then I get fed up and cheat!
@@neecyrebello9902 since July 16th is not very long. Give yourself time. Use a tape measure. Sometimes you lose inches even without losing pounds. Some people take longer than others. My brother-in-law lost 50lbs in 3 months. My husband lost 30 lbs in 2 years. However, he's been fighting weight his whole life, and he feels way better on keto than he did on calorie restriction.
@@neecyrebello9902 What don't you understand? Low carb or keto is not a super quick diet loss program. And it's not meant to be. It's meant to be a healthy way to lose weight. You should be losing 1 half pound to a pound a week. But that will fluctuate and even at a point stall. If you wanna lose weight a little faster try intermittent fasting and 2 meals A-day. Otherwise if you're not in it for the long haul you shouldn't be doing it at all. It's not a fad diet it's a nutritiish way of eating. I've been on it for 10 months and lost 30 pounds and that's the most I wanna lose. Im eating the same as I was when I started. And I'm not losing any more weight. Matter of fact now that I've been lifting weights I've gained about 7 to 10 pounds of muscle. And I'm 67. No small feat At my age.
people who don't have weight problems just don't get it. You can quit every other addictive element in your life and still live. You can't quit food, you have to learn how to live with it and overeating is an emotional issue. So many people think it's just about eating less and exercising more.. not even close
This is so very true!
It's not how much you eat, it's WHAT you eat!
low carb with intermittent fasting and took 1 year to lose 32 lbs. It seems slow but nothing else has worked for me and being 65 yr I've tried alot! only 15 lbs left

@rebecca phillips I guess it's just age. I've read the longer the weight has been on the longer to get it off. But it takes patience and eventually things will happen! I never used pee sticks. But I did eventually go mostly meat. And that really worked for me.
Only thing that worked for me too. But I lost my weight very fast!
Always enjoy Dr. J. Daniel’s talks. Down to earth, good humor on a mission.
I think an alternative focus for the keto diet is to not treat it as a weight loss process, but as a blood sugar control regime. Get people to not check their ketones, but the Blood Sugar whilst on the diet, so they can see what foods do, and they can learn how to eat keep blood sugar under control...weight loss will then become a side affect.
Akane Cortich if ketones are normal or highish, insulin and blood glucose and are in good range, unless the person is taking mct oil or exogenous ketones
high blood and high insulin = no ketones
@@winskelv the reason for a blood glucose focus is that is easier to monitor, and regardless of ketone levels the benefit is as great, and is likely to be closer to or over 0.5 BHB because of it. Blood sugar spikes/insulin spikes are the primary cause of most disease as they create a systemic inflammation. Controlling blood sugar can be said to be anti inflammatory in comparison to the usual diet. People find it hard to maintain weight loss diets, no matter the type if they cant readily see results. The beauty of BG monitoring is that you can check many times a day...and you learn what certain foods do. Thus that bun you want to eat...reminds you of a BS spike of 9.0 or so.. Now ketosis is anti inflammatory to a greater level because blood sugars are under control and it creates greater efficiency in muscle metabolism, whilst decreasing the efficiency of fat metabolism thereby fat requiring greater energy..thus more energy burnt. Keto diets now being used to treat cancer related cachexia which results in catastrophic muscle wasting and is the usual cause of death from cancer. Medicinal ketosis decreases that systemic inflammation caused by cancer metabolism. But my point is, for the prurpose of weight loss some people might benefit from a blood sugar focus than a weight/scale focus. In fact it would be a better learning process for them in the future as they can see the real evidence of what some foods actually do to them. cheers
Akane Cortich Even more important are testing insulin levels which they never do.
Do you have a recommendation for a good glucose meter?
It's easier than that. Eat no more than 20g of carbs a day and you will have wonderful blood sugar levels, unless something is seriously wrong with your body.
No need to experiment with foods, etc. We've known the recipe for blood sugar control for over a hundred years.
You have to start thinking of food as medicine, not entertainment. Good luck everyone. Keep calm and keto on.
This.is my motto I never liked any of the things I ate under Keto beef fish butter avocado I hate them, so i take them like i use to take my BP medicine once a day 😁

I was a vegetarian from the age of 18 for more than 25 years then got heart disease, despite my lower than average total cholesterol levels, being a non-smoker, a bit on the skinny side and extremely physically active. My life changed when I discovered Barry Groves (Eat Fat Get Thin) and I spent many years researching atherosclerosis. To cut a very long story short, I've found that the best way to discover whether you are in ketosis or veering off the right (biochemical) path is to monitor you triglyceride:HDL ratio every few months. The is one of the most significant medical discoveries ever in my opinion and is the most powerful predictor of heart disease known (ignore total cholesterol and LDL levels as they are completely irrelevant). The most important thing is 1) as high a level of HDL as you can manage (to achieve this, you must consume quite a lot of saturated fat such as butter, cheese, cream etc but even olive oil and coconut oil will help) 2) quit EVERYTHING with sugar and drastically reduce ALL forms of carbohydrates to maintain a low triglyceride level - the lower the better. A trig:HDL ratio less than 2.0 is recommended and with my high fat/carb free diet I often hit around 0.4. When I first presented with heart disease my ratio was above 6.0 even though my total cholesterol was much lower than average. Guess what? After 14 drug free years on my new diet, I lapsed sufficiently (dropped my guard) and my trig:HDL ratio again went above 6.0 resulting in a heart attack. Never again. That's when I discovered the simple and cheap way of monitoring whether one is on the right biochemical path by regularly measuring the trig:HDL ratio. (Incidentally, if your results are in mmol/l, as in the U.K, then you have to convert it to mg/dl using on online converter.)
I am 70 years of age lost 40 pounds in 4 months and 6 and a half inches around the belly, BP is great, no additional excercise, Keto is easy
regards to all
Lee gilbert well done on your success 👍👌
After 21 months on low carb & losing 50lbs, I've no intention of ever changing back.
I'm with you all the way, brother, and I've only been on the ketogenic way of eating for 8+ months!!
Oh, and I have lost 35 pounds so far..happening slower because I am older, but I am not ever going to quit by the grace of God!
Sorry, or sister..
YAAAy!!!!! Excellent new lifestyle...
Well, if you want to die of some magical reason (despite being at your best ever) that backs Kelloggs arguments, go ahead.

Good point at around the13:00 min. mark. Go on Keto for at least 3 months before starting an exercise program. You want to heal all the cell damage from the exess sugar you had in your body. But, I'm not a Doctor.
That’s exactly what I’m doing
I am already a gym rat. Started keto yesterday from vegan/ vegetarian diet. What a relief alteady last night. My tummy isn't bloated at all!
Yes, that's exactly what I did. I spent 3 months learning how to eat (and losing 40 lbs). I did some walking, but not every day or anything strenuous. About 3 weeks ago, I bought a Fitbit Charge 3. I move every hour, work hard to meet the daily activity minutes, and am working daily to incrementally increase steps, minutes, and miles.
Emma Smith me too, a week in and i know my body is not ready yet. This keto flu sucks
Excellent! Entertaining, to the point and very valuable for anyone who is hesitant to try Keto. Well done!
Although I eat keto and have been on it for six months, and plan on staying on it, I would have to say it is not for everyone. I turned around my pre-diabetes and got rid of my acid reflux. I had enough energy to exercise since I lost 25 pounds and now my blood pressure is perfect. What I’m saying is everyone is an individual and there is no one diet that’s good for everyone. What I would to do is try a different way of eating for 2 to 3 months and see what that does for you. Keto did it for me maybe Paleo or vegan or even carnivore would do it for you. for you. If it’s helping with medical conditions or you’re losing the weight that you need to then maybe that’s the one you need to stay on. Point is pick one and then be consistent with it. And Just eat real food.
Yeah I'd agree with that although tbh keto is a LOT easier than I imagined. I'm 3 years in, occasionally I eat some bread and if I do I fast the next day (to burn off the sugars) and get right back into keto. I do find I crave low carb foods a lot more the longer I do it (I have had some carby choc, xmas 2 years ago and it just left me feeling really unsatisfied so that actually helps stay away from them). I also found low carb/keto got rid of my acid reflux, which used to be really bad and is now non existent. I'm lucky my BP has always been low so that hasn't changed. Fasting glucose went from 6.2 to 5 and has stayed there.
kickn-aDead-cat ,
Yeah. Whatever diet you considered, Kick the sugar, refined and processed food out! I kinda of keto but don't really stick to keto, I managed to stay off 2 meds!
Yeah I agree! Especially with eating real food. Like really... real food that isn’t stripped of nutrients while being processed. We couldn’t eat wheat without processing. We also don’t see olive oil trees, we see whole olives filled with fibre & lots of micronutrients.
Added tip. When you first do keto you can lose a lot of fluid, and that means Na salt, and K Potassium. And if at the beginning you do keto too hard for a while you could put yourself into hypokalemia especially if you are exercising a lot and sweating. You need to add potassium, such as a Lite salt, which is 50% potassium salt. So if you find your heart suddenly races from time to time for no apparent reason whilst on keto...its potassium probably.
I've been doing keto for 6 years, and yeah, you need to supplement potassium or you're gonna have a bad time.
Indeed. I had to learn the very hard way
Besides salt what potassium did you use?
I take 99 mg of potassium every night
Potassium citrate
67 yrs old. After 6 weeks, -35 lbs. So far my A1C went from 7.4 to 6.0, my cholesterol from 212 to 115, my fasting BS went from 150 to 88, I have LOTS of energy and my stress and anxiety levels are so low now that I can actually leave the house without my Service Dog sometimes. After all of this, my Reg Dietician still focuses on Keto not being sustainable, in her view. She even handed me the dreaded "plate" graphic of what we are supposed to eat to make the corn, soy, and sugar farmers happy...not to mention the pharmaceutical companies. There is absolutely ONE reason that Keto fails. The person doing Keto makes a decision to go back to the old way of eating. Sadly its the American way. I want what I want, when I want it. If "they" can have it, I want it too.
Bravo!
AMEN!!! ❤
Do you use an app and monitor calories, carbs fats and protein? I can’t stay at the 1380 cals ... I’m 59 and I’m doing most stuff right. I’m so happy for your weight loss!
@@EnvironmentalCoffeehouse I use Carb Manager App to track macros etc. The Free version is all you need. I find myself most days with under 15 carbs without even thinking about it now. I now normally eat just one meal a day without any cravings to deal with. Some days I must make myself eat more calories as I only take in 300-500 some days. Feeling great.
I totally agree. We're the very same in the UK. That's one of the reasons the advice I gave above was to see a doctor who is knowledge about keto or they will just advise against it. I've not felt this great in a few years. My blood pressure is down my cholesterol has dropped from 6 to 2.25, my bp was regularly around 180/150 and is now more like 120/80 which is the UK's healthy recommendation. :)
Spread the word !
Low-carb, ketogenic, meat-based, etc diets have been used by doctors for centuries to treat obesity and diabetes, starting at least in the 1700s. Such diets remained within the mainstream until the fear-mongering shifted into high gear in the '60s and '70s. Up to the point of the new 1980 high-carb and low-fat USDA recommendations, scientific conferences regularly had speakers on low-carb and such. Then all opposing voices were almost fully silenced by the 1990s after the consensus conference.
I remember back in the mid 70s, in my early teens, when they started coming out with low fat cake. My mom and I used to joke that they had to add more sugar to make up for the lack of taste. And damn if we weren't right.

Thank you for this video. It's way long, but hearing this info from a doctor means more than hearing it from a friend. I have been Keto/Carni since Aug. 2020. I am 74, diabetic. I have lost 30 pounds (not enough but getting there slowly), my A1C was 5.5 yesterday (home test kit), I dropped my Statin and BP med.(I checked it daily for 8 months to do this).My BP w/o meds is usually 118-125/75-85.
To repeat your words.....drop sugar, including fruits, drop carbs. You do not need to check Ketones, I do sometimes, and am always disappointed. Drop Ketosticks and calorie restrictions.I do best to STAY OFF the scales as I am always disappointed.
OH, I should say...I am a sugar addict. If I have it I will eat it and eat it all!
Thank you, thank you. Best wishes for you and your wife to stay the course!
Finally! An Atlanta doc who understands keto. I’ve lost 46# over the last year following Dr. Jason Fung and hope to convert my overweight Piedmont Physician doc and his overweight staff by example.
Lots of wisdom here my friends especially with measuring ketones all the time. Let's get back to the basics. If you have to go back to the donation bin in the basement in order to find those 20 years old pants that were so small thst is a good move. That stuff can turn into a religion so fast especially in our digital era with all these apps. Better sleep better libido less craving etc. You are on the right track.
I agree with this Doctor. Ketosis is not necessary to lose weight or become healthier.
One will naturally be in ketosis if carbs are kept to 25 total or less for at least a week. Once you are efficiently burning fat and ketones, there won't be any residue showing up in your urine or blood, so it's hard to judge if one is in ketosis or not. But if you're not very hungry, if you feel good, if you're not eating carbs.. you're in ketosis.
hatchling88 thank you!!!
hatchling88 thanks for this simple explanation!
This was a great video. I've been doing keto for 2 years and have heard all of the negatives. It works for me and is my new way of life. I've maintained my 30 lbs weight loss.
I am doing Keto and fasting with Type 2 and watching my insulin day to day..
I love how he says mmkay.. 😄😁😊

Great information. I wish I could get my obese diabetic husband to get on board with the ketogenic diet. I’ve been in it for 5 months now. Can’t see myself eating any differently!!
I have a diabetic dil and am very cautious about broaching this subject with her. My husband and I are good examples but I would very much have her test drive this way of eating. I do not want my son or grandsons to be diabetics. So I really do not know what to do;(
Are you cooking his meals?
Cross777 , would buying only animal fats and animal proteins work, and slowly throw away all the carbohydrates work, starting with the breakfast carbohydrates? If you fed him carnivore (only animal fats and animal proteins), you might be able to get him off of the carbohydrates.
Also, there are keto recipes for pancakes and other foods. I found a keto recipe for pancakes, but leave out the honey. I use sufficient butter to make the pancakes taste really good.
First Name Last Name no he actually cooks mine. And I constantly tell him let’s have the same meal, but he makes a second meal for himself 🤦♀️🤷🏻♀️
Kimberly Cooper I do make keto coconut pancakes and he will eat those. But than will binge on other carbs, sugars, and junk food throughout the day. He has an addiction to food!!
Excellent lecture. Thanks
This is a great talk. Thanks a bunch for sharing it!
Great video towards individuals to take responsibility for there health. This video should be the nucleus used against the universal health care for all discussions promoted by governments all over the world.I personally don't want to pay higher taxes or higher premiums for a health care system that promotes or allows individuals to not take responsibility for there health.There has to be a line drawn between, self induced and pre existing conditions.
i think you've missed the point of a universal health care system. It is there for everybody when they need it, and when managed properly can actually cut out a lot of waste (i live in a country where we have a universal basic healthcare system - it saved my life on a couple of occasions, and at one stage worked for the organisation managing it) . I think your attitude towards self induced and pre-existing conditions has issues too - how can you deny a person healthcare because they were born with a condition? how can you deny a person healthcare because they followed misleading guidelines or weren't educated in what was good or bad for them, or simply could afford the healthier choices?
Sure, people should take responsibility for their health.. but government also has a role to play - and not simply supporting the big businesses behind it at the expense of the people who cant afford it as seems to be the case in the USA ( oh and BTW, contrary to what the current leadership of the USA says, its not exactly socialism looking out for the little people in your society either)
Stanb662000 They aren’t teaching real medicine at universities. Who wants to pay high taxes for bad info. You likely won’t need a Dr. if you follow keto and a healthy lifestyle. I will pay out
of pocket then. Way cheaper.
@@mntngirl4512 I dont dispute that a healthy diet, and LCHF certainly seems to fit into that category will reduce the need for medical assistance however I disagree that costs are way cheaper. - for my own history over the last 20 years I have had 3 medical interventions that in the later 2 cases I simply could not have afforded if it wasn't for our medicare system. The first was a case of pneumonia. 3 courses of Antibiotics at a subsidized rate cured that one. The second was a car accident where i crushed a vertebrate... 3 weeks hospitalization, multiple Xrays, MRIs etc, surgery from one of the finest neuro surgeons in town to put $40000 worth of metal work to hold it all together, and 12 months of physio, and the op to remove said metal work all at $0 direct costs
and 4 years ago had an abscessed tooth that was dong its best to kill me - a week in hospital ( 36 hours of which was under unaesthetic, and involved a airbourne transfer between hospitals) , the op to remove said tooth and be pumped full of antibiotics, and follow ups again all at $0
all this has cost me is an extra 2% on my income tax .
Can you understand now why everybody who lives under schemes like this looks at the USA and shakes their head in disbelief at the opposition to any public health scheme?
Stanb662000 Medicare is for the elderly and if we didn’t eat the crap out food industry puts out we would live into our 90’s like my grandparents did. Yes we need Medicare for the elderly but I’m totally against universal healthcare until they do something about the poison they are deliberately feeding us. It will be mediocre health care at best.
@@mntngirl4512 I can see its very hard for someone who hasnt experienced a universal medicare system to see the advantages - the healthcare available here is anything but mediocre, tho waiting times for elective surgery is always a political hot potato, anything potentially life threatening is treated immediately. Its not a perfect system by any means , but it does have the advantage of making healthcare available to those who cannot afford private cover ( which is also available).
I cant dispute that government should do way more reduce the crap the food industry puts out - it can be done ( here in Aus its been done wth tobacco - a single cigarette costs over $1 - with a packt of cheap 30s costing $35 or more theres a big financial incentive to give up ). Until organisations such as the AHA ( and the international organisations that follow its guidelines) recognize that the advice they have been giving has caused more illness than its stopped nothings is going to change. Sadly, I Think these industry funded organisations are going to follow the pattern set by the tobacco and fossil fuel industries.. and go down fighting
Thank You for sharing. Excellent story.
Cute, funny, informative……what more can you ask 😊 Thanks 🙏
I grew up in Bogotá,Colombia.My Mom cooking was based on fresh vegetables,legumes,fruits, and herbs , In my school we’re not vending machines with crap,not vending machines that’ll, each student had to bring their snacks, we did have lunch at school ,the menu was supervised and approved by the Dietitian, I remembered her walking in the dining room looking our food and how it’s was served. Our staple drink was milk 🥛.no seconds, I don’t remember obesity was a problem .In conclusion healthy lifestyle starts at home with the school on board and with yourself taking ownership of what do you bring into your mouth. Sadly today’s the obesity is a worldwide epidemic problem.
Thank you, doctor.
I am interested to know the name of the butter you mentioned as your favorite. ❤
Kerrygold. It's from Ireland. Sold in most supermarkets
Great presentation!
Hello.....in your slide presentation on Mistake 6, you presented that “Fat in your blood is mainly due to dietary Carbohydrates.” I am wondering where you got that information from. I would like to research that myself. Thanks, very though provoking presentation.
Hi Mike Kosty,
Many thanks for your message. Unfortunately, the Doctors who present on the Adapt Channel don’t see these messages once the video is older than around a week.
We do however have a very helpful article on how eating carbohydrates cause saturated fat in the blood.
www.dietdoctor.com/carbs-affect-cholesterol
Very down to earth and informative video!
What is wrong with egg whites? I usually do whole eggs but occasionally use the egg whites in a carton for convenience.
Excellent!
Very good talk. To bad he his office is not in Houston Texas.
Focus on low to no carb and you're all set!
Great presentation can you recommend a keto Dr in NJ 🙏
Pretty sure I agreed with every mistake listed. Testing blood glucose could have been better emphasized. That's the only way to determine how you personally metabolize carbs. It broke the case for me. Lost a 100 lbs after that. Never bothered with ketones testing as the front end of sugar intake was the predominant saboteur. Appreciate the tip about fat bombs haha coffee creamer butter cups etc.
Been already a month. No weight loss, probably because I still struggle with binge eating a lot and although I haven't binged in carbs, it's still something that happens frequently. I dont get hungry and yet I binge, due to habit I guess. Anyone else experienced this?
In my experience, you won't lose any weight eating more calories than you need, even with the metabolic advantage that keto gives. Keto will shield you from the negative effects of your binge eating, as long as you're within the range of carbs your body likes ( 20g a day is kind of a gold standard ).
You solved one problem with keto, but you're still looking down the barrel of another. You may want to try some different approaches with your eating. Particularly, ones that are structured, like intermittent fasting.
Eat more fat and leafy greens. If you're gorging yourself on lean meats, you're not going to get satiated and all the protein is gonna start to act like sugar once the liver processes it, then your pancreas will release insulin and it'll be like you're eating carbs all over again.(gluconeogenesis) Eat the leafy greens/cruciferous veg for volume sake. you're not gonna be able to binge on that unless you want your stomach to explode.
A week and a half in and I’ve done the same. We’ve got to just try to do better each day. Let’s dump old habits💪
Dr cywes is the carb addiction doc. We all have to change our relationship with food. First is acknowledging theres a problem :) you can try different things like eating salads to stretch your stomach while increasing fats. Never eat more than 3x a day. Never drink your calories unless it is a meal in itself but advise against it. No fat bombs of fatty keto coffee. Stick below 20 total carbs. Avoid bars and almond flour goods. I would make a ketorade and when i felt emotional Id drink til my stomach was full. It takes 3.mins for our brain to get over it so distract yourself. Shower, brush teeth, anything. Even an elastic band around the wrist can help.
Can’t help chuckling. Made many of these mistakes myself 😊
So if you're salting your food to taste and peeing a lot, you're supposed to drink more water?
I had a CT of the chest and it showed calcium buildup at the Aortic Loop area. It did not have a CAC test for the score. My doctor has ordered a stress test and echocardiam. He said it is not important that I have the score as the CT shows a calcium buildup. He said that the other two test will show whether I have a blockage. Is it important that I have the CAC score?
Hi Burt Toone, apologies, we are not permitted to give any medical advice on social media unfortunately.
Hi Jeff,
Great talk. You just surprised me with your remark about the egg whites. I was under the impression that eggs are good (0.3 gr carb per egg). Can you elaborate on that thanks.
Bas
Bas Albers meaning egg withes are not advisable, the whole egg including both the egg white and the yolk is 😊
@@AdaptYourLife OK. Thanks for clarifying. Can you explain why the whole egg is not bad?
Bas Albers it’s a great mix of protein and fat. Think about it, an entire chicken is grown from that nutritional combination
Whites also raise your glycemic levels higher than yolks. Yolks have more of the good fat. I like to eat one whole egg with two yolks.
Practice fasting at least 12 hours at a time, practice fasting with eating eggs, cheese and meat if you do eat. Just messed around doing it as much as I can ( mostly weekends ) and lost 20 pounds in 2 months mostly sitting on my butt in the dead of winter.
wow...Keto is king
Keto isn't king your losing weight but not exercising because you have cessation. If you were active and only ate when hungry and complex carbs you would of been fine you have a mitochondrial dysfunction and now you can't metabolise the carbs/sugar.
I don't exactly just sit on my butt all day, it mostly meant I'm not jogging all over town or working out in a gym.
I was primarily pointing out how you can lose weight without the ' heavy ' exercise.
People with bad knees or can hardly walk can still lose weight.
Some people once they lose some of the weight can THEN do some more exercise.
I didn't really hear the mistakes you made when you were doing keto.....I was looking for something to help me fine tune my program. Especially because I also had gastric sleeve surgery. I eat very little calories a day...I make fruit and vegetable powders into juice / protein / fat / vitamin smoothies which I drink nearly every day and try to eat food only during the 8 hours that I am at work to do the intermittent fasting. but my weight loss has stalled. I have some loose skin... ugh. Feel better than I ever did on carbs though. so much better.
Garth Burnett the smoothies may be the cause of your problem. Two reasons, fruit is high in carbs even if you are eating low carb fruit, secondly, blending them destroys the fiber and releases all the sugar thereby causing more sugar to be absorbed. Cut out the smoothies and see how that goes.
Dr. McDaniel, can you tell me if there are any Dr’s in the Columbus Ga area that uses the Keto Diet for patients? We have a Piedmont Hospital! If you ever come to Columbus for a seminar I would love to come to it!!!
Hi Cynthia Sanders, The Adapt Chanel has different guest speakers on this channel. If you subscribe to this channel, you will hear about upcoming Adapt Events in different cities.
You say find a doctor that understands Keto. Would love to but I don’t know if any in New York!
a few listed here:
www.lowcarbusa.org/low-carb-providers/lchf-doctors/
Clare Giammusso Never listen to a Doctor on nutrition. They have almost no training. They have been dispensing terrible advice since the 80’s.
I don't see a keto doctor in my area. However, I gave the book "The Obesity Code" by Dr. Jason Fung, MD, to my doctor. My doctor is now on board with me using keto.
@@kimberlycooper4170 good book.

Great advice Jeff. Then you
Typo, sorry. Thank you
MY take away message if you over think about just ketosis as if something new going on inside our body then it's expensive while if you look at the side of restricting carbs and not bothering about ketosis.it's normal.
Trying to find a like minded keto supporting Dr in the Auburn Alabama area. Any help would be appreciated
Ketones from Urine is not indicative of ketosis, it only appears in urine as an over flow of ketones at the beginning of the ketone diet, and then will decline. The only measure of on going ketosis is blood ketones..via a small hand held ketone moniter. People are going to be disappointed if they rely on urine analysis, which also measures a different type of ketone.
Akane Cortich of course ketones in the urine are absolutely indicative of ketosis,It is the absence of ketones in the urine which is not indicative of ketosis or otherwise, which is what I think you meant to say . A ketone blood monitor is useful but get one that also measures glucose because that will help you determine what causes your insulin to spike
I need to find a keto friendly doctor in Atlanta? Any ideas where I can find one

I am diabetic and have hypertension, I have know doctor or medical insurance how can I or can I still do this way of eating and be safe?
Hi Karla Robinson, if you are not currently on any medication, a Keto or Low Carb Diet is just fine. Remember to limit the carbs to 20g total per day😊
@@AdaptYourLife Thank you so much, I have been off of meds for a couple of yrs now. My bp seems to be doing great but having trouble keeping my bs down, so I have to do something.. :) Thank you so much
Lost 30 pounds in keto and keto carnivore
congrats
Very enjoyable talk . After 5 years on my Keto journey I'm starting to see an up rising trend of people being scared off Keto by their Doctors . Mostly due to their Cholesterol levels getting higher & wanting to put them on a statin . Sure you can tell them to change doctors , but some have been with the same one for years . This is the only down fall I see unless more doctors jump on board .:(
I've been on keto as long as you, and i remember that it used to be worse. You were genuinely considered insane for doing the diet. Now doctors have at least heard of it.
if your doctor refuses to learn new information, you need a new doctor. It doesn't matter how much history you have with him/her. i'd rather lose the history than be harmed out of ignorance.
Yes my family & friends were the worse on scaring me about consuming fat . I had pre diabetes & high cholesterol , Dr. told me if I didn't lose weight I would be put on medication for both . Came home Googled " Diet for Diabetes " .. Low Carb came up among others . Followed many RUclipsrs - Butter Bob was my favorite :)
@@shapienails3067 Butter bob is still my favorite. Nobody's pants have a chance of staying on when he gets on camera.
Question, can you have a milk allergy on keto? Like butter. I have ibs and I already have wheat problems. Could there be milk problems when using butter?
Fantastic video.
This is good. Thank you. I'm transitioning to a LCHF diet. 'Transitioning' because I haven't sorted it all out yet, but I am doing an 8/16 eat/fast for three weeks now. (Cheating a half hour is a huge thrill. I haven't enjoyed eating this much since we used to steal tomatoes from the boss's patch. And waiting an extra hour, or finishing up in the evening an hour early, I want stand around and scowl with pride). The one counter thing I'd like to share is whole oats. I know it's a starch and carb... About 14 years ago I started paddling a sea kayak, enjoyed it so much I'd wear myself out. Loved it. I was trying to watch what I ate, cut out all restaurants.... keto was part of all this, but I didn't know it at the time. Lost 50 pounds and until about two years ago kept off 40, no problem. In the past year I put on another ten. Now I want to lose the 20. I'm not going to be on any keto posters, but those 16 hour fasts aren't all that difficult, so I'm probably mostly doing it right. Okay. (And I understand that I probably started the daily fasts too soon, but it's working and I like it.)
About the oatmeal. Two eggs in a cup or so of Quaker whole oats, some yogurt (Trader Joe's but sugar and low fat... next shopping trip I'll get it right) Clearly this is far from a keto diet. However, what I have found for almost my entire adult life: if I eat this for breakfast, or as my first meal of the day-- I'm good until supper. I understand LCHF. This is as close to what I'm now doing with LCHF as I think I ever got with the HCLF eating. When I used to fast just over night for a 10 am fasting blood draw, I was cranky all morning, starving. Now 16 hour daily fasts-- no problem. Yesterday I went 22 hours, no problem. The 'conventional wisdom' is that oatmeal has fiber, it's a whole grain, (it's for horses, but in Scotland they feed it to people-- Dr Johnson) and it digests more slowly.... Maybe it does. I'll probably cut it out once I run out, but I think my experience with it is at least interesting. (Maybe it's like methadone.)
For my constant snacking, now it's not much of a problem. In the window 10 am - 6pm I can do whatever I want, but instead of a popsicle and popcorn and whatever, I'll have only one or two of them.) One trick for staying away from things like cookies and chips, I immediately say, even if only to myself, "I don't eat that." The other part of my brain immediately shouts, "Hey, wait a minute!" but it's too late. It's like the other kid got the last piece, nothing you can do. But when I did snack it was often like watching someone else do it. It's human nature, it's hard to turn down a cookie...it's a puzzle, but I think it's on its way to being solved.
Id love to know what your hdl, triglycerides and hga1c is! "Beat diabetes" on youtube does videos and one is comparing oatmeal to chocolate bars.
@@dana102083 Let's see if I can copy and paste them: (this is 26 lines vertical and G... 7 columns across)
(Also my comment is a year old. I've been Keto for a year now. Macronutrient, cal percentages, daily weight, exercise log in a database, that can be converted to a pdf. I made the database in Filemaker Pro. About a month ago I realized I'd been comparing grams to grams to grams for my daily fat, net carb, protein percentages. So I corrected it. The result is that I've been extremely low carb for the year. It's funny, Dr Sten and some Keto sources were recommending some carbs and I couldn't figure out how it was possible to consume them and still be in the Keto zone. Duh. (on me). I've also been mostly intermittent fasting for the year. 16/8. I lost weight, went on a trip, usual, usual.... put some back on. So I think Keto is weight loss because fats fill you up and you never feel desperately hungry. To lose weight I have to count calories and exercise. Excercise and Keto make it really easy to cut 10-20% calories day after day. Low fat and low carb made me insanely desperate for cookies. I tried this several years ago. It was an interesting two months. I still remember a few of the cookie dreams. I also did keto 15 years ago and dropped over 40 pounds, that have mostly stayed off. I knew I was 'burning fat' but couldn't find any sources that could explain what was happening. I'd go kayaking, burn off all my glycogen, (hit the wall), paddle back to shore slower, but then I felt great and not hungry so I didn't eat for a couple hours. My body temp was raised a bit and I was losing a couple pounds per week.
My latest numbers below are from last December, LDL was raised. I'd been super-keto for 4 months, and almost keto for an additional month.

@@WillN2Go1 hey thanks for replying! I never know who will ;) are those your comments on the bicarb and anion gap scores? Ketoacidosis is ONLY when sugar and ketones are both high and i will presume you're not type 1 diabetic or having beta cell dysfunction (insulin use in type 2 diabetes until pancreas tuckers out). If it was a blood draw venous vs an arterial blood gas also change interpretation. Im glad to hear you've crossed over! Ketones supplement so much more than the other diets. You said it..straight into cookies. I know a lot of scared people wont do keto all the way but its making it harder for them. But addictions are hard. Im a recovering binge eater myself. Glad you have timed eating as well! I eat once a day now for over 2 yrs and can't eat more. More carbs equals less protein. Oh the one thing i wanted to mention was about weight loss and calories. The% given 5, 20, 75 are % of calories. I see it this way: eat protein for your size and lean body mass. Multiply by 1.5 for fat grams for weight loss. 1.75 to 2x for maintenance. So 70g protein for me is up to a max of 105g fat, but up to a max of 140g fat at maintenance. I like your willingness to share and learn :) I have a keto for chronic disease management group on FB if you wanna pop by and say hello! :)
@@dana102083 You know a lot more than I do. About the binge eating and constant snacking, it's still there. It's more something to do than anything else. A nervous tick. One way I try to handle it is I buy bags of sunflower kernals, 69% choc chips, pecans (I roast and add olive oil and salt), then I weigh out 28 or 30 grams put it in little 3x3 bags I get on Amazon. A handful is a vague amount that leads to a little bit more... Those little bags count.
These were all blood tests. Artery or vein? No clue. I know there are two kinds of LDL one from a keto diet the other that's the 'bad stuff' I've never had these measured. Thanks for the invite
@@WillN2Go1 well im a bit of a video watcher with my health issues..it doesnt hurt being an RN ;) i give myself a quarter cup rule for cream, berries and nuts during weight loss and not much more during maintenance wither. Glad you make your own roasted nuts though! I really try to minimize my insulin spikes even in my window of eating. You seem to be very active and thats great but not sure if its enough to counteract the effects of rising insulin more frequently. Are you in weight loss mode or fine where you're at? That may make a difference too. :)
Aaaaagh that lapel mic placement!!! Lol... Awesome presentation!
Lui Gomez apologies 🙈
where can I find him, I live In Atlanta and I am doing the keto diet but I am also looking for a keto friendly doctor ..I think I may have found someone

How often should you have
cac retested?
Burt Toone this is different for everyone, depending on the calcium buildup depends on how often this should be tested
I have watched a lot of keto presentations in the last few months and this is the first time I have had a presenter say this is a reduced calorie diet. I still think a person can eat too many calories by ignoring the feeling of satiety. I watched Dr. Berry yesterday and he hinted or suggested to overeat on this diet. I'm not sure that is true but I am glad to hear from this Dr. that it is a reduced calorie diet.
What happens if you eat too much on this diet? Anyone know?
William Branham thanks for your comment. Calories definitely matter. Weight loss is achieved because this way of eating causes a natural calorie deficit. Hunger goes away. Consuming too many calories will ultimately lead to weight gain.
@@AdaptYourLife Thanks for your reply. You tied up a loose end for me. I have a science background so I tend to have a lot of questions.
.... I love KG butter too!
What about taking Vascepa? My doctor has me on this for my 675 triglycerides.
Just found you....I have been ketoing for over 1 year...Dr Berg keto..says 20 % carbs....I am 55 ...looking to remove 25 post menopausal lbs...loss of only 9 lbs....maybe Macros wrong? I feel great..energy is awesome....please advise
jackie prieto why do people ask for individualized medical advice in the comment section?? Seriously, reconsider taking medical advise from random commenters and find a professional.
Jackie prieto...yes prob not right macros....if you cut out sugar and carbs already, it could be too much protein or too much fat in a day. No snacks. Hope you find the support you need! Keep going.
20% carbs sounds like way too much. Dr Berg is a generalist and plays loose and fast with information, unfortunately.. 20g of carbs is closer to what keto should be.
Just as a follow up...jackie prieto...I added mct oil blended fast into my coffee...dropped 5 more pounds after a long plateau! Maybe you need medium chain fatty triglycerides in morning!
Dr berg never said 20% carbs. You got it wrong. He said 5% carbs, that is around 20-50g net carbs and less depending on your body size. Yes, you can aim for less for than 20g if you want to get into ketosis faster.
I'm trying to get off diet coke.been drinking it for 39 years. Went down from 4 cups to 2 and I'm shooting for one
hope king good luck
Dr. Berry used 1/2 or 1/3 diet drink to the rest sparking water. Said the taste was better than full strength!
Sparkling 🤦♀️
We were at Costco today a guy next to me was looking at the prime strip steaks he said I’m trying to get my hands around the price of these but the marbling of fat is fantastic much better than choice. Yes I agreed but I said I need the fat because I’m on keto and he said so am I I’ve lost 32 pounds and I was prediabetic I don’t know this guy but we shook hands and did a high-five we are becoming a group of folks and it’s happening everywhere yes we both went for the steaks after all tomorrow is Father’s Day
Excellent vid. Thank you!!! 👍👍👍
Easy to see that we moved away from the natural human diet with refined foods. I suspect that the dysfunction helps keep people docile/in low energy So it is encouraged.
I think people went refunded as you can store and carry refined food easier and it is less likely to go off etc.
Keto doctor? Good for you,better for patients!
The chicken is involved the pig is committed
You had to bleep out "Adkins diet"?
Wish he was in my area
Great stuff!
Thank You...☺️
Thank you
Thank You, Dr. McDaniel the information was relatable and very valuable. It's also nice to know that there is a Medical professional (M.D.) in Georgia that supports this way of living. 😃
It is strange to hear him say that a doctor can't afford a medical procedure. What's the annoying scratching noise?
Whoever is doing the video taping should stop touching the microphone. It's making a static like noise and is very annoying. Thanks
geoff761 humble apologies, the mic was rubbing on the speakers jacket.
I was wondering if someone was going to bring that up!! It is so annoying I stopped watching. Sounds like someone rolling a big piece of cellophane in their hands.
Why is Atkins censored?
Not sure. Maybe because his method wasn't entirely the right approach? Dr Atkins was largely correct but his main mistake was to assume that protein is broken down by fatty acid metabolism (it isn't) and just concentrated on avoiding sugars/carbs. To maintain ketosis one must have a greater fat intake than both protein and carbs combined.
He is a family doctor.
I have the opposite problem. I'm on a low carb diet. No processed, refined food, etc.. I'm skinny and want to gain weight. Super hard. Exercise a lot but can not gain weight without carbs.
Hi Mura, the aim would be to gain muscle mass and not fat weight. If your health markers are great, you could add additional carbs into your diet.
I wonder why you chose a low carb diet to gain weight, when carbohydrates are the best thing for increasing your body's fat stores.
@@neptronix don't want to gain fat...just muscle.
@@mura0 Look up ketogains.
@@AdaptYourLife what type of carbs too add.. pasta,sourdough,rice or like dr paul saladino fruit and honey? How many grams on lower carb day vs higher carb day?
0:27 he said “the Atkins diet”
The tests help me learn what works. If the tests show K then the food is on track. When I see no K then I messed up and need to adjust that meal to meet my needs. The test strips are a learning tool. I also test for Glucose I am a Diabetic.
