Keto means low carbs and low carbs means you have to give up garlic bread and you shouldn't have that kind of negativity in your life.
hell no! Garlic bread all the way lol
is garlic bread vegan?
@@maiadraconica6488 just don't put cheese and it is
@@acadianalien people put cheese on garlic bread?!
@@maiadraconica6488 Yes, actually I used to eat a lot of it before I was Vegan, they called ''Garlic Fingers'' here in East Canada
I doubt that I’ll ever be convinced that bacon is healthier than a banana.
Give a Diabetic a Banana and test Sugar compared to Bacon.
@clariboia anal I dont eat anything from pork but now, i avoid everything that raises insulin levels.
@clariboia anal I agree but what I think is tht Diabetes is our future, it is a response of our bodies being so abused by sugar and carbs that it can no longer tolerate it through generations and generations. I now sort of eat as a diabetic but im normal and athletic but my health has improved but some times going without carbs becomes a drag.
@@@omarkhan9515 You should to know that eating animals RAISES insulin levels, here are the video's ( you are safer with healthy whole food complex foods; vegetables, fruits, grains, beans, nuts. seeds).
People are misinformed that animal saturated fat/protein are part of a healthier diet:
ruclips.net/video/0GCS16cvpfE/видео.html (Dr. Cousens)
meat consumption increases diabetes
ruclips.net/video/Aw8hufhIDu0/видео.html (Dr. Greger)
what causes insulin resistance
@Spicy Chip My mom just got diabetes she rarely eats meat avoid eggs and their eggs yoke like a religion and its time to stop all carbs for her but she still dose not understand. I think is best to avoid our preaching till some shit happens. no carbs and no sugar or fruit.
How about this: stop eating refined sugar and drinking booze every day, and start exercising regularly. Wonderful things will start to happen.
D S I honestly needed to read this
And then throw LOADS of whole plant foods at that and FEEL the difference....
it wont work... Since even fruit can make you gain weight. Like Banana...
The whole eat nature thing isnt all that good.
@@sookiezboly4502 yeah, fruits have fructose, a sugar. you cantdo that on a vegan diet
@@sookiezboly4502 lol I eat fruits and carbs everyday with regular exercise with a balanced diet and have lost 32 pounds in the past few months. Keto is for impatient people who look for the simplest answer for how to shed weight fast.
People call veganism a cult, but give any criticism of keto and a swarm of angry dieters will attack you. I can't speak with regards to the medical information, but I do know that if everyone ate a diet of constant meat and cheese we wouldn't have a life-sustaining planet.
On keto and not constantly eating meat and cheese.
Because vegans are always lying and twisting information in order to support their religious idealogy. One of the things that personally pissed me off was their lies about taking fish oil.
Veganism is a religion.
Oh trust me people on keto are waaaay worse
obviously you never heard of vegan keto. You're not very informed.
My sister literally collapsed in public after going on a Keto/Atkins Diet and yet she STILL says my Veganism is Extreme 🤨
Damn. That's rough.
I saw more vegans collapsing
@@chucku.farley981 Confirmation bias will do that.
I lost my gallbladder on atkins/keto. It was impacted into my liver and I arrived septic to the ER. 7 hour surgery - required an Emergency Assist Surgeon. Dr said it was the 2nd worst he’d seen in 15 years. He told me the keto diet paid his bills as 95% of his patients followed that way of eating. Upon my discharge he said, “Go enjoy a bowl of oatmeal and some fruit..” Took me 6 months to recover from that surgery. Starch based now. Feel phenomenal. Bloodwork is perfect. BP is 117/76 after being in the 180’s/110’s the entire time I ate keto/atkins/low carb. I do miss feta cheese on my salad and cream cheese on my bagel but -- never again.
Probably pregnant..
I grew up with binge eating disorder and was 230lbs by 6th grade, decided on my own to do a keto diet at 13 bc I saw my dad doing it. Lost a bunch of weight but could NOT for the life of me think straight. Went crazy, developed anorexia, and later that year accidentally saw slaughter house footage. Immediately went vegan and over time it recovered me bc I wanted to be a good example for veganism. My dad ended up in the hospital for his heart and I got him on veganism too. I’m now almost 20 and we have never been healthier or happier.
I have been on a Keto diet for 3 months lost 50 pounds of fat. Im a 40 year old male who used to weight 250lbs now I’m 200lbs. I don’t count calories. I eat until I’m full but keep the amount of protein I eat low. I eat plenty of spinach, asparagus, broccoli, kale, mushrooms etc..My LDL dropped from 189 to 130 (still working on it). I have just incorporated intermittent fasting and hope to see more results.
That's great news, it's working for so many people. No stuffing yourself, feeling great, my mind has never been so clear and reversed pre diabetes without even trying. Hopefully more people will realise how nutritious animal products are.
@@blinkybill2198 you have not reversed pre diabetes, but simply have taken a vacation from it. animal products are not nutritious at all.

I'll have you know that both my legs fell off as a Vegan due to nutrient deficiencies. Going raw primal keto has made my legs grow back.
😂
Lmao!
Did your sex organs fall off? Who cares about your legs?!?! ROTFLMAO
I have been vegan and have no issues. I sleep 5 hrs a day and 2hrs in gym. I supplement with b12. God teaches compassion and I see no compassion in eating food from killing. It's body it will eventually perish. Can survive vegan or carnivore but the word is optimum. So stop this bullshit about eating animals.
Ha ha ha!
I tried doing a vegan keto diet recently (i'm already vegetarian / mostly vegan) and let me say I got so sick! I'm currently having to go get medical tests and bloodwork because my body has been in shock since this all started. I also have hypothyroidism (caused by cancer treatments) and the diet may have harmed my thyroid. I have severe hypothyroidism symptoms now despite being medicated. Keto might work for some people but it certainly can be harmful to others. I guess the take-home point here is to consult your doctor before doing any new diet - especially very restrictive ones. I followed the rules and tracked all my food with keto - did a ton of research before starting but I never consulted my doctor and now my body and my health are paying for it dearly.I felt great for about 3 days and then I started feeling progressively worse - not just keto flu but detrimentally sick. I missed 2 days of work and had horrible insomnia too. Started feeling hypoglycaemic - the list goes on. I won't be going on keto again - I almost ended up in hospital.
What foods did you eat? and what did your macros look like? I am a little more then a week in and I feel fine...
@Sahanda yumurta did you not watch the video
This happened to me! I am an advocate against keto now because of how much it messed up my thyroid (I have hypothyroidism too)! People need to be warned!
This was close to my experience. I felt highly acidic I ended up getting gallstones and and I was keto-vegan as well. I had it down pat I was supplementing and then one sip of Vinegar tipped me over in pain. I also developed an slightly enlarged heart.
That's because you can't do keto vegan...you need saturated animal fats, EPA, DHA, C20 AND C22 fatty acids ...omega poly 6 oils WILL make you sick ...
Actually just recently seen a mention/claim of someone developing lifelong pancreatitis in a comment section because of trying a ketogenic diet. Huge respect to you for raising awareness and assuming a stance that is not popular at the moment. New subscriber.
You’re an idiot
I tried keto for about a month. Not only did I gain weight from it, but all the meat and fats gave me horrid heartburn and indigestion, plus terrible brain fog. And I felt like I was starving all the time even after downing an entire plate of meat. Ultimately, the keto diet backfired big-time because it made me hate the meat I'd previously loved all my life. Now I've been vegan for almost 3 weeks and I barely ever get hunger pains anymore at all. Plus I've already lost a few pounds around the middle because I've swapped plates of carcass for bowls of salad.
Dat probably wasn’t keto
im on a ketogenic inducing diet and i eat 1 pound of 50/50 spinach and spring mix a day. Thats barely 20 grams carbs
keto saved my life. when I was 17 I had a bmi of 45, was prediabetic, and was told that I would be the youngest person my doctor would have to put on heart medication. after several months of keto and kicking my ass at the gym I was 100 lbs lighter and the next year I rode a bicycle 4600 miles across the USA to raise money for young adults affected by cancer. I'm not on keto right now because long term doesn't make me feel good and may be unhealthy but there is no doubt that I would be much closer to dying if I hadn't tried it. I still go on keto for about a month or two every year. Try it for weight loss but listen to your body
You suggest against long term keto ?
Prashanth B Consuming next to no carbs long term is bad
Hi John. If you went totally WHOLE FOOD plant based you wouldn’t have to worry about regular keto episodes in your life, and would probably start healing the underlying factors. Have a look at Chef AJ for fantastic meal prep ideas, an amazing body transformation journey, and great ideas. And then listen to Rich Roll for a lot interesting (especially to guys) stuff about life, sports, science and being a top vegan athlete. Good luck and may you keep going to finding your optimal health.
When I tried doing keto for 4 months I developed Raynaud's Disease. I did keto properly, with everything being organic and grass fed.
I am vegan now and have never had a recurrence of symptoms. I will remain vegan.
I actually tried keto and days after i started developing pain and numbness on the tip of my fingers. I quit the keto diet after 3 weeks, going back to veganism i hope this goes away.
I'm really confused about your comment. From what I know, Raynaud's Disease is caused by cold temperatures, not a high-fat, low-carb diet. Can you explain in more detail how you established a causality between Raynaud's and keto?
@@palimpsestransparent
They are vegans lying is not an issue to these people since its "for the greater good" once you think you are on the side of "the greater good" nothing is immoral.
Pick a diet. Any diet. One thing they all have in common: no junk food (e.g., chips, candy, cookies, etc). Cut that crap out and guess what? You'll lose weight, have more energy, and feel better. It's removing the junk from one's diet that causes the weight lose. It's not b/c of eating tons of fat in a Keto diet.
kamaboko1,
Let me add something to support your point. It’s that junk food that you cite with its dense and high calories that add and maintain weight.
Fad diets simply lower calories, but aren’t necessary healthy.
Exactly. Them keto-fans fail to realize the simlplest things. Unfortunately that will bite their ass back in the future.
Same thing PPL Say about vegan diet
@SophieYT Vlogs Sure about what? That keto is very unhealthy? Of course I am and so are every worthy dietitian out there.
@@goku445 When you're young you could eat anything and be healthy as long as you're active.. it's not until you're older with experience do you find out your diet is bad for you. These vegans aren't any better of course.
I'm over here thinking about all the people who say "VeGAn iS sOOOOoo rEStrICtiVE." I think not. I think keto is.
So... I guess im the first person to actually review the sources you added on this video, and here's my summary:
Starved bran on ketones article:
"Ketone body consumption by the brain has an essential role in preserv-ing life" - the article is rather positive regarding keto.
Kidney stones article:
"Kidney stones continue to occur in approximately 1 in 20 children on the ketogenic diet, and no statistically significant risk factors were identified in this cohort"
Child dies on keto article:
"A 9-year-old girl had a seizure disorder with associated developmental delay owing to glucose transport protein deficiency." - Well... a really sick kid can die from any diet, not the diets fault really.
15% of keto children had enlarged.. article:
"Twenty patients on the ketogenic diet at one institution were investigated. Prolonged QT interval (QTc) was found in 3 patients (15%)" - It's easy to make 15% sound like a big number before you reveal it was 3 persons.
Sudden cardiac death is keto diet article:
Not available anymore... could not find the article.
GI disturbances, low blood protein keto diet article:
"The KD is a safe and efficacious therapy for intractable childhood epilepsy in Chinese children" - The article is positive regarding the diet
Study with large list of adverse effects, deficiency article:
This is a study on treating epilepsy, children with complications and illness. Any diet on sick patients will have adverse effects.
More adverse effects article:
Still only regarding experiments to treat epilepsy.. you cannot just read keto articles on sick kids... really?
Higher Cortisol on Keto Diet Study article:
"During the run-in phase, we obtained baseline data for study outcomes, restricted energy intake of participants to achieve a 12.5% decrease in body weigh" - Now if you restrict the calorie intake, you're not doing keto.
Keto equal to other low carb diet in weight loss, adverse effects article:
Just saying that keto isnt more weight loss than medium low-carb. This compares weight loss in low carb vs low carb. Really?
Low Carb Diets Increase All Cause Mortality article:
"Our meta-analysis supported long-term harm and no cardio-vascular protection with low-carbohydrate diets. However, theobservational studies were limited and moderately heterogeneous.Our findings underscore the imminent need for large-scale trialson the complex interactions between low-carbohydrate diets andlong-term outcomes." - Well they are basically saying their findings are not enough to be trusted.
One of the first things i noticed was "Relatively few serious complications have been reported in the more than 70 years in which the diet has been used."
It's being use and studied for 70 years and all he has are handful of examples of it being bad for your health?
I was already wondering why those papers flashed by in a split second. Good job and much appreciated. I cut seriously on carbs and sugar in relation to a diabetic type II diagnosis. All complaints have disappeared except the neuropathy in my feet takes a bit longer I guess. I don't think I am in ketosis but feel much better already. Only eat once a day and coffee with a clump of butter in the morning. Thank you again.
LOL, 3 people out of 15 is huge. Don't try to minimise it. I'm not playing russian roulette with my health!
What is huge? Out of 15 really sick people, 12 survived. Take any death sentenced person, put him on a vegan diet and watch your percentage of vegan deaths rise.
@@zebmastah2063 Vegans who eat sensibly don't get any (serious) illnesss as a result of dietary reasons.
Idk man. I've been in DEEP ketosis for 4 (since I was 17) years and I feel great. My bloods are amazing (I get bloods taken every 6 weeks at least for other medical issues) My IBS is much better, my memory is better, my anxiety is better, no acne, 4 stone weight loss and now a very balanced weight.... Like, it might not work for everyone?? But it defo works for me and the millions of others still doing it!!
@Jamie Veganarchist I NOW GET IT!!! MY MOTHER IS VEGAN AND IM BULLSHIT RESISTANT
Lol thanks for the shout out! I was the guy with the high cholesterol, still well below normal now and still eating as much plants as possible :D
Eoin O'Chionnáigh been on the ketogenic diet myself I have heard some results of people who in with high cholesterol. Generally they say it gets higher before I get to lower depending on the length of time you've been on it. But my question for you is that did you eat a lot of vegetables while you were on the keto diet or not? Some people on the keto diet recommend at least 7 to 10 cups of vegetables a day. Specifically Dr. Berg. Just curious I'm on the ketogenic diet and it worked wonders for me. But I'm still experimenting.
Hey thanks for the comment! I think in retrospect, I should have eaten more vegetables, but I was scared to go over 20g net carbs a day, sometimes I'd go as high as 50g though. I ate a lot of nuts, and I mean a lot! So I thought with that fiber along with a tomato, some leafy green salad and a serving of cruciferous vegetables I would be okay, but it just didn't work out that way, I ended up getting very VERY high uric acid and pains in my knees. There was actually one week were I only ate meat, which was surprisingly easy. I would advise anyone on the keto diet to avoid burning their cheese (which is supposed to be really bad for you, i.e grilling), stick to boiling their meat, and try to get 30-50g fiber a day anyway you can. I think if I did that my cholesterol and uric acid would not have been so terrible. Good luck and stay open minded on your path to health!
Well, if you measured levels of cholesterol during weight loss you wouldn't have gotten an accurate reading
Nah there was no weight loss, it was only 5 weeks so I mean, how much can weight loss skew results as dramatic as 440-->160
Who told you, that low cholesterol is good? Cholesterol is a firefighter which is fighting inflammation. There is just one type of LDL which is really bad, and it's high on high-carb diet. So we can say all your low cholesterol is bad.
I have read through maybe half of the articles provided. I have a bachelors degree in kinesiology (the scientific study of human motion, and it's systems). I have been following a very low carbohydrate diet for 4 years now, breaking it every Christmas season to eat holidays meals with loved ones. Here are my thoughts, briefly summarized.
Many of these articles are specific to epileptic children. Any results from these studies CANNOT be applied to the general public, whose anatomy and physiology is not the same. The fact most do not describe what specifically is being fed to the patients is problematic. They claim nutritional deficiencies, and then fail to describe what the nutrient profile of their patient's diets. Keto diets especially come in many drastically different forms and cannot be all lumped into one category. On top of that, the trials appeared to be on the small end, with successful results in terms of reduced seizures. So definitely a route worth examining in greater detail still.
Cholesterol is it's own rabbit hole. No research supports the idea that LDL cholesterol correlates with heart disease at all. The recently discovered sub-fractions of LDL cholesterol (by Krauss in the 1980's) is a promising line of research exonerating the effect of saturates on LDL cholesterol, which makes the total amount of LDL measured in the blood immaterial in terms of CVD risk. But HDL cholesterol has been shown to be far more strongly correlated anyway, so is worth more attention than LDL cholesterol. But this fact has been strangely ignored by the mainstream research community for no apparent reason. Look up Krauss's work on LDL cholesterol, it's quite fascinating.
Idk if your mind has changed since it’s been 4 years, but I wanted to post this video here: ruclips.net/video/JvKNzLRmzLg/видео.html . It goes into depth on cholesterol. 4 years ago I was also convinced on the keto diet, so it’s very possible you’ve changed your mind. The more I look into it, the more I think alternative mechanisms play into the perceived health benefits of the diet rather than ketosis itself.
Year and a half on keto, no stress, depression, low self-esteem, heart problems or lack of energy; more concentration, best grades, no feel of loneliness anymore, no muscle loss, no stress while watching people eat carbs (don't remotely feel like eating them), no anxiety for eating.
So where are the so mentioned deadly or adverse effects? As long as I'm concerned I'm still alive.
There was an adverse effect for every sentient being you paid to have killed
@@afaultytoaster surprise surprise, in nature you eat living things.
Unless you eat rocks, in that case, I'm really interested to know about it.
This is a joke. The internet is filled with people pushing their own nutrition dogma, which is one of the biggest problems in following any nutrition advice. Often times the "guru" pushes what works best for them and people automatically assume they can achieve the same results when in fact everyone responds differently. The point is, some people will excel on a ketogenic diet while others will not. The serious folks who look at science and have extensive clinical experience will say that right away.
I'll just make two points from the first two minutes of your video which highlight your misunderstanding (and many others) about a ketogenic type diet.
1:10 - "meat, oil, dairy, eggs, and a few plants on the side". I've been following a ketogenic diet for over a year now and 2/3rd of my plate by volume is vegetables, 75% of which is leafy greens and fermented cabbage, typically at least 1 avocado a day as well. The point is, many people can make the mistake of not eating enough plant materials. That's the same for any diet.
1:13 - "just one banana would put you over your carb limit". Again, it's highly individualized. I can tolerate 50 - 70 grams daily of carbohydrates and still remain in a state of ketosis. Some people will need to be as low as 20 grams. I eat berries, citrus, and other seasonal fruits. I have no problem eating a banana, but would rather have the former.
I could go on and on, but I'm not going to waste any more time here. It's great that you know what works best for you, but there is a ton of valid information and science out there about the benefits of a ketogenic diet as it relates to health, athletic performance, and weight loss. But it's not for everyone. One of the best resources is "The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living" and "The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance".
Don't be a fool and think that you've got it figured out. I get blood work done regularly and have seen tremendous benefits from a ketogenic diet, but like anything, you need to be informed about it and learn from your mistakes. One of the biggest mistakes for people starting out on a ketogenic diet (the phase that we call keto adaptation) is monitoring sodium levels and making sure to eat plenty of plants. Some of the benefits I've gotten from a ketogenic diet: increased athletic performance, fat loss (I'm below 10% body fat), increased mental focus/memory, lack of hunger cravings, and the list goes on.
I have tested keto for two years and feel amazing
This is a regular misunderstanding, on Keto you are supposed to eat a lot of vegetables
I've been on Keto + IF for 92 days. I feel fantastic, my mind is clear, I'm sleeping really well, I've lost 41#, my pants are crazy baggy, my testosterone and HGH are as high as they were in my 30s (I'm 61). I have NONE of the nasty side effects you are attributing to Keto.
Great news! How do you feel now? 3 years later? Still believe in keto?
@@7iLeto : I lost 95 #s in the first year, maintained since... I am on and off with Keto and fasting, but keeping my weight down... feel great

that is not because of "keto", it is just because you cut sugar and processed crap from your diet lol... Keto will increase your chances of developing acute pancreatitis tenfold, which will in turn turn into chronic pancreatitis.
Dr Berg, whose channel I enjoy watching, says that people do the keto diet wrong because they don’t eat the requisite amount of green vegetables. He recommends about 7-10 cups per day.
What do you think about that?
SD **tumbleweed..**
green veggies are awful for u. Doc Berg. issues
Dr. Berg is a chiropractor, not a medical doctor, and has no more "expertise" in nutrition than any other educated layman. He skirts dangerously close to practicing medicine without a license.
SD Dr.Berg is snake oil salesman, getting views and money by selling bullshit. Only a vegan diet is healthiest!
Amazing ME not agreeing nor disagreeing, but Mic isn't a doctor either..
I did Keto for 2 weeks and never felt so bad. I had a neck cramp that was just awful and wouldnt go away. I had a massive headache and felt tired all the time. I felt thirsty all the time. My ketone levels were high but I didnt feel the boost that people claim. I started the keto diet after a 3 day no food fast, and while that was hard at the beginning, one the 2nd day I wasnt having hunger pains and I had never felt so good in all my life. During the fast my ketones spiked up and my dark circles around my eyes disappeared and my skin looked flawless. I was standing up straight and tall and life felt effortless. I thought keto was a hack diet but thought it might extend this feeling. See my fast ended when I was making my daughter a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and by habit I licked the spoon which caused my hunger pains to return and I couldnt at that point resist eating. But keto made me feel about as bad as I have ever felt in my life.
@@michellewilcox7175 I was eating quite a bit of bacon, avacado, and green leafy veggies. I feel like I was getting the right ratio of sodium to potassium. I think I may have a weak liver from eating a poumd of candy every other day for 30 yrs. Always had a bad candy addiction.
I tried keto and found it way to stressful to keep track of absolutely everything I eat. Just have a balanced diet... eat healthy, have “cheat days”, workout at least 3-4 times a week and give the body a break with some light fasting and remember stay hydrated:)
you dont need to be "hydrated" like that on keto, you need salt, hydratation are a must on high sugar diets, too much water on keto make you loose minerals.

These kinds of videos crack me up, I found out I had type 2 diabetes in January my A1C was 10 and my blood glucose was 240. They put me on medications that I stopped taking within weeks, there was no need for them after I found out about the ketogenic diet. I went low carb high fat and within a few days my blood sugar was in the normal range for a non diabetic, I had blood work done in April, My A1C dropped to 6 and next time it'll likely be in the low 5 to mid 4 range. My triglycerides dropped 50 points, my total cholesterol dropped 20 points but was already in the normal range, HDL and LDL stayed the same but those were normal anyway. I did this eating bacon, eggs, steaks, butter, heavy cream, full fat cheese and chicken with the skin on. I also eat a large serving of vegetables with butter at dinner and an avocado with lunch. Even right after a large meal my blood glucose never goes over 110 and after 2 hours it's always back in the 80's. I have also lost 80lbs in just over 3 months without doing any extra exercise, when your body has to use the fat for fuel it will burn off pretty quickly, when you load up on carbs your body can't get to the fat burning because the carbs will burn first. As far as people who are vegans you do what you like I have no problem with that, but PLEASE stop coming up with these BS videos to try to convert people, you are doing a disservice to other people's health.
Well said! Totally agree. Seriously, these dudes always look for the odd exception! Ignored are all the super results that Keto folks have achieved, hence the negative stabs to try to make it Look bad. However, the numbers don't lie. Compare this channel to Sten Ekberg's or Dr. Berg's and then one can understand the envy!
I’ve been on keto for a while, and I’ve seen fat loss and muscle gain as well as mental clarity.
My grandfather has also been on this to help with his Alzheimer’s, and his mental state has been steadily improving!
Yes, there are some benefits when your talking about alzheimers and epilepsy etc...but when you talk about eating a healthy diet to maintain a healthy weight and live a healthy life limiting meats and fats are scientifically proven. Your diet should be mainly fruits, veggies, and healthy grains.
It's working great of me, my wife, several family members and even more co workers and their families. I do think there are some pitfalls you have to avoid but eating green vegetables, meat, good oils and no sugar is working out good. He keeps saying you are starving yourself, I eat just as much now as I did befor. And at first I was less hungry but for me at least my appetite is the same as it was befor. But now I'm losing weight every month instead of gaining. I don't plan on eating like this forever. Just an means to an end.
@@staceystrukel1917 Where would find an abundance of fruits, veggies, and edible grains in abundance just growing in the forest? It's crazy to think that these genetically produced fruits and veggies are now considered a requirement by some in human health. Humans didn't evolve eating an abundance of carbs and carbs are not vital nutrients you need to live. But you do need fat to live and unlike edible produce, meat exists everywhere, in every environment, at all times. Which is why we've been eating it since 2.5 million years ago until today.
@@BlankestKnight You are completely right, so many of these Vegan channels are completely biased. You can have a proper Keto diet and still be very healthy, it's not something that should be done long term but we are biologically made to go through moments of eating more meat during off seasons and same goes for plant based foods. We should also be doing intermittent fasting as food was not always so readily available.
If people are not sure what to believe, why not just try both the keto diet and a vegan diet? See for yourself what happens to your body.
Here is my story:
After 3 years of being vegan, I started drifting away and started eating dairy again for 1 year. I put on 20 pounds from being vegetarian and then I decided that was enough. I went back to vegan and decided to try the keto diet (vegan) to lose some weight. I have to say that there are crazy changes to my body, both good and bad.
Good:
- I have been losing weight (around 4 pounds per week)
- I wake up more easily, less groggy
- I don't feel hungry all the time
Bad:
- I get blackouts from super low blood pressure, which means just getting up from a chair makes me dizzy
- my sleep is now broken (I researched and that's a common thing on keto)
- I start to shake sometimes due to hypoglycemia
- I have no energy to do sports or run with my dog
- my boyfriend who is doing the same diet has a mild headache every day
- THE FOOD IS SO EXPENSIVE! Like imagine buying tons of nuts, almond butter, almond or cashew milk, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, spirulina, almond flour bread, full fat coconut milk, tea, lá croix, eurythol, unsweetened dark chocolate.... Dude, I'm not kidding I'm spending around $30-50/day plus 2 hours prep time.
- Plus you can't eat anything ready made out because the choices are super limited.
So, I'm doing this because I want to see for myself if this really works. Some people say you get more energy, and I want to give it more time to see if that happens to me, but after 2 months, I have no plans on continuing with this mostly due to the increased amount of fat going to my arteries and and how expensive and non practical it is to find food.
I donate blood regularly and I will be compring my results from previous times I've donated when I was full vegan and when I was vegetarian.
Are you pre diabetic? You should also add sea salt to your water or milk. As keto can cause you to flush out the minerals from your kidneys. Keep in mind that mineral loss will be more substantial if you are consuming stuff that contributes to leeching the minerals out of your body like coffee. And the bread nuts and flour are not helping you at all since they also contribute to leeching minerals out of your bones and teeth. Nothing wrong with having it. As long as it's not part of what you eat everyday.
Why are spending so much money on a keto diet? Have you read or watch anything by Dr. Eric Westman? Are following a strict vegan keto? I've been doing the Keto for several months and my food spending is actually less than it was before I started doing keto. To be fair, I also follow a time-restricted eating plan (I eat one or two meals a day and fast the rest of the time). I generally eating the same few meals. I believe that a healthy keto diet is cheaper to follow than a non-keto healthy diet. If you haven't, please look up Ken Berry, MD, Dr Eric Westman, Dr Stephen Phinney. If you're following a vegan keto then it is more difficult because the ingredients are more expensive. Also, the low energy is quite common when you first starts doing keto. It should go away after two weeks. Al
I tried a vegan keto diet. I felt so fucking ill it was unbelievable. I still can't eat coconut oil to this day.
heh, coconut oil is to be put on your face and hands, anyway. no need to eat it ;)
now you tell me
I get nauseous when I eat (or even think about) too much fatty food as is (avocados, oily food, etc). I can't even imagine trying to make these fatty foods the cornerstone of my diet..
Donal O
^^^ what you just said made me laugh so much
Donal O My sentiments exactly 😂
Way to fear monger. Was in ketosis for 2 years 182lbs down. All blood work good. Glad I didn't see this back then.
Lots of people on the internet trying to push their dogma with blind loyalty to their brand with complete disregard for what might happen to other people, I am also glad you didn't see it back then.
@@Kaledrone Your statement can be applied to anyone, including pro-Keto proponents.
I am so thankful I got out of the keto cult!! WFPB for two years now and feeling so good!! My blood work is as pure as possible according to my doctor, so much more energy, my hair and nails are so strong, reversed endometriosis, and I am finally enjoying food freedom… no longer a slave to tracking my food and macros like so many unfortunate souls are doing these days.
I have also had such a positive and easy-going pregnancy! My midwives tell me at every appointment how great I look, how good my BP is, etc!
Hey could you please share what diet were you following to reverse endometriosis? Appreciate it.
@@AndresBDim I went vegan (whole foods plant based)!
Great! I hope one day you'll get out also from the vegan cult!
@@herrgado Why are you so offended that people are finally wanting to do whats best for themselves and the world? Must suck to be you.
@Commander_Kayn why?
Dear video, I have listened to you, my experiences is fully different as a diabetic, I went into two years in the ketosis, lost 75 pounds, gained a lot of muscle, Lower my A1c and I feel greatest I have ever felt! I do not know how you think this way
I'm sure you meant to say, "as a former diabetic."
Do you know that the anecdotal evidence you provided is not scientific? I choose massive and generally accepted, unbiased scientific evidence compared to your subjective experience.
I once bought into the fad of Keto, but the more evidence I look at, the more I don’t believe in it. It seems everyone who went on a keto diet were unhealthy before. Of course losing weight would greatly benefit you, not the ketosis part of it. There’s a lot more evidence as to why I don’t believe in the keto diet anymore, but yeah not gonna waste my time writing all of it
@@RiDankulous Then Joe, you should be on a statin, taking aspirin every day, eating eight meals per day of food fried in rancid seed oils. If you cannot sleep at night you should take a sleeping pill that does not allow you to establish restorative REM sleep. Do not exercise too vigorously because the seed oils and the chronic inflammation from excess carbs have degraded your vascular system and you may have a heart attack or stroke. To bad your cholesterol process was disrupted by your statin, now that you are old you are encountering early dementia, and cannot remember where you put the eight prescriptions you take every day. You can however feel content that you followed the food guidelines and when you went to the doctors for all your chronic ailments that the doctors followed a standard of care that kept them from getting sued by you.
I couldn't go keto as I need rice beans and potatoes
I noticed your channel bashes the ketogenic diet quite a bit. Let me explain my situation and why that diet works for me. During 1999 in Kuwait something happened that made my thyroid produce at the level of a 99 year old person. I think it was radiation since I was around that, but something changed when I got back. After 10 years of weight gain I went from 173 to 305. It has been hell to get the weight off over the years and I've had the opinion of a lot of doctors along the way. I developed type two diabetes about five years ago and have struggled with that a lot. I tried doing the vegan diet, but any grain products I ate would spike my blood sugar. Wheat was by far the worst, but the normal other grains always created a response. My dad went on the keto diet and has been eating that way for over two years. He lost 80 pounds the first year and stopped taking all medications. I figured that may help me so I tried it. I did it for three months and it made a world of difference. All my blood sugars stayed in the normal range without medication. My lipid panels all returned to normal ranges. The diet is hard to stay on for me. Vegan was even worse for me. I returned back to the normal diet trying to be more health conscious, but eventually my A1C went back to 14 and I started back on the insulin which really makes things worse. By diet and exercise changes I was able to get it back to around 8 but while taking two oral medications. I told the doctors I'd never take insulin again because of the weight gain that comes with it. So I came to a choice of either taking medications the rest of my life or going back on the keto diet. The whole problem with diabetes is being carb intolerant. If people are lactose intolerant, they cut out the lactose products. Being carb intolerant, it only makes sense to remove the carbohydrates from the diet. After two weeks of being back on the keto diet my blood sugars are normal again without the medications. I suppose if I did vegan without doing grains it would have a similar effect, but eating that way is very difficult for me. I'm definitely not knocking being vegan, but you should tone down the keto bashing because it does work for some of us out here with diabetes. I bought some cook books this time around for keto recipes and it's opened up a whole new world for me. I have made some tasty items using mainly almond flour that are low in carbs and high in fat/protein. If I want to remove the diabetes as a health factor and get off the medications, this is really the only choice I have that I can stick with for the rest of my life.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Can you tell me how long you have now consistently been on the keto diet?
Marek Kuchta maybe he had a heart attack and that's why he still hasn't replied...
In Chinese medicine, the area around the eyes represents kidney health. So dark circles there are a strong sign the kidneys are not functioning properly.
Mic's keto videos have been invaluable in starting productive conversations with friends and family members who've been seduced by health gurus.
Dad's a pHd and the rest of my immediate family work in healthcare professions.
Yeah, they're not really prone to diet woo.
Be sure to tell them to look up Sarah Ballantyne today and notice how she is overweight and looks unhealthy. You will never find someone on the keto diet being unhealthy looking. Her claims are all bogus as they are a result of nutrient deficiency. That's not a result of keto. Anyone can have nutrient deficiency off any diet. It's actually more common on vegan because you aren't getting omega 3s without supplements. It's impossible to get omega 3 dha/epa from the vegan diet. Omega 3 ALA is only converted around 1 percent to DHA/EPA. Keto never requires any supplementation for their diet. Think about that.
@@YTStopCensoringFreedomOfspeech The ketogenic diet is a diet designed to mimic starvation and has drug-like effects. Those are facts. If you consider starvation and drug-like effects part of the healthiest lifestyle you can imagine, then you need your head checked.
Furthermore, most of the proponents of the keto diet are either ignorant or they fabricate evidence. Inuit do not live in ketosis, they have genetic mutations in the CPT1A gene that allow them to burn long-chain fatty acids directly (as do some Caucasians, which is why not everybody actually enters ketosis on the usual "keto diet").
@@Magnulus76 i have been on Paleo prior to keto. I never take drugs as I also hate anything processed and unnatural. I doubt Sarah followed a actual paleo diet. She seems like a fraud. Sarah's claims that keto has drug like effects is nonsense. There is actual science explaining the different metabolic pathways utilized for ketones vs glucose. The body using fat as fuel is very good in terms of health. Having low insulin most of the time is optiminal for health as advanced glycation end products thrive in the body when insulin is high. Viruses also feed off glucose. Ketones have many better effects for health than glucose. In fact the body considers excess glucose toxic. It immediately tries to get it out of the blood stream after 4 grams. That's why it spikes insulin and starts the process of de novo lipogenesis turning it into fat.
The only downside to keto is that you won't have any fat stores so if you go on a long period of fasting. The body will start feeding off muscles. However in modern society. You never need to fast for a long time as you always have access to food. I fast once in a while to reap the benefits of autophagy and growth hormone spikes. I will never fast more than 24 hrs.
I believe everyone can enter ketosis. When you don't eat any food. Your body will be forced to enter ketosis targeting your own fat storage. The inuit have probably entered ketosis more frequently than other ethnic groups which is why their utilization of fats is more efficient. That is a good thing. Look up the story of Angus Barbieri
@@YTStopCensoringFreedomOfspeech The Inuit don't enter ketosis because they have a genetic variant that allows them to burn fat in their diet directly. In fact, prolonged fasting kills Inuit faster than non-variant humans, because the Inuit physiology is adapted to preserve body fat.
Get educated and stop peddling pseudoscience from fad diets.
I've been eating low carb high fat for around three years, just had blood work done, all normal.
Normal could still mean you are at risk for developing heart disease. What your doctor says is “normal” could still put you at risk for developing disease.
Low carb is still ok. But keto is trash . Increased acid load means increased likelihood of developing stones
@@DrSiddiqui nice fake profile.
Keto has been shown to be risky in numerous studies, especially without doctor supervision. The Agoge diet was the only diet that helped me lose that stubborn fat without hurting my body.
I have been a vegetarian since 89 and have been 50-80 pounds overweight for all those years. After switching to a keto-vegetarian diet, I am finally able to lose weight. My main problem is that I love food and have a tendency to over eat. Keto has comepletely removed that tendency.
If you had been eating a whole food plant based diet without dairy and processed crap I promise you, you would NOT have been overweight. Have a look at Chef AJ for some great whole food plant recipes and meal preparation ideas that will fit in with whatever plant-based diet you want to follow. :)
Smelly, low energy, eye bags, constipation, higher mortality rate. I'll pass on keto.
This is an interesting video. On keto my cholesterol came down 100 points ( to normal), triglycerides became normal, fast heart rate became normal, blood pressure became normal, alc became normal (was high), lost 70 pounds, etc. Grains weren't working for me.
Hi Mic. I’ve been following you for months now. You’re amazingly well read in terms of diet. I’m terribly worried about someone who is on keto. When she first told me what she would be eating it made me feel sick, just the thought of all that fat. I watched some things before knowing your videos and went vegan overnight. Thanks for your videos and all your research you pass on 👍
Go read the fat of the land, lol
Keep strong
Michelle Wilcox are you from a different species? Humans run on carbs. The human brain runs on carb.
If you carry on this way for much longer, your kidneys and heart will go kaput.
Check the Blue Zones, where people mostly eat carbs and most of their protein comes from beans.
Anybody that thinks a diet that consists of 70-80% meat and fats with oil and dairy products, not to mention a minimum amount of veggies..... you gotta be fucking crazy!
Yes, but keto diet has a lot of vegetables (mostly green ones).
Keto doesn't mean eating only meat.
As a person who is mostly unbiased (I mean, I'm pretty opposed to vegan diets) the Ketogenic diet seems to have varying percentages of meat. Depending on the type of diet. One I gear mentioned a lot is "Modified Atkins diet" Which increases carbs a bit, and decreases fat percentage. This is the one I have seen people who study this mention as a possible better diet for most people. As I said I am impartial and looking into out of interest of what might be best for me.
Cabbage is about 8% carbs. One of the highest in veges. So to stay under 30g a day if you only consumed cabbage (we don't because we're stupid) we could eat about 375g or about 1 and a half of the fuckers.
In actual fact you stay in ketosis up to about 50g of carbs which considering the average vegetable is less than 5g of carbs per 100g we eat a FUCKING SHIT LOAD OF VEGETABLES. Upto 2Lbs when we let the repressed vegetarian out before hitting the deep fried chicken, bacon and FLAX SEED KICHE.
Mike drop....
I love how keto dieters aren’t trying to debunk all of the studies he showed and instead just claim he is cherry picking. If you can’t show how a study is illegitimate, how is he cherry picking? He is showing you thevtruth
So if i eat nothing but avocados and nuts would that be vegan or keto ?
There is such a thing as vegan keto, must be healthier than meat eating Kato but mic says still adverse reactions and risks
Veganism is not a diet, it’s moral and ethical system or lifestyle.
You’d be a Veto or a Kegan you pick :)
Both! Despite how many describe them, they aren't opposing concepts. Combined, they're probably incredibly healthy and sustainable. The only thing is that having a diet range of 2 things would be a bit too restrictive to stick to, so throw in some seeds, coconuts, oils, full-fat tofu, and fibrous veggies and you'll be thriving!
@@nab.7250 It's different for different people. Overall, it's a combination of all of the above, but for some, they are literally vegan for only one or two of those reasons. I think Mic has a video on it actually.
43 seconds in and you are already wrong about how ketosis works :(
A few of the studies you researched are with diets containing processed meats. I will not argue with you, they do cause harm. THAT BEING SAID meaningful correlations can be found by lowering inflammation through a proper keto diet. This will lower blood glucose and reduce LDL oxidisation.
Processed meats are bad - agreed
Other studies you cited: The dangers of saturated fat are real WHEN PRESENT IN THE BLOOD STREAM what causes this you ask? Insulin. Produced by the pancreas to regulate blood sugar.
Saturated fat in the diet while in ketosis with *no insulin* present in the bloodstream does not cause heart problems and is shown since the 20's to lower risk.
Saturated fats are bad - agreed (when eating carbs as well)
This is documented well. It is crucial to differentiate the studies based on those who are observed eating high fat and *low carbs* with those eating healthy fats and *no carbs * (aka no insulin production) there are huge differences and both were labelled as "keto" in this video. Please do not clump together results to make it fit your youtube channel.
Don't simplify such a complicated subjects. When executed properly this diet can be used to save lives of insulin sensitive people.
PS: some of the "side effects" you listed are observed only in the first week while people breaking the addiction to carbohydrates.
Energy levels restore. Brain performance is proven more efficient when glucose is not present in the blood.
For a first 3 month i eat whatever, without counting calories, and still lost like 10 kilo, now i am forcing myself to eat more than 2000, and started exercise just to gain some. Have same level of strength after starting keto, need less time to "catch a breath" and dark circles under eyes, in my case its quite and opposite, i used to have them on "no diet" and now they gone.
Keto is AMAZING! I reversed my prediabetes got rid of my severe hypertension got rid of my PCOS lost 134 pounds in about a year and lowered my bad cholesterol he wants to tell me Keto is this and that? Oh and I've been at it for 7 years! Lol 😂😂😂 Smh One more thing, Keto CURED my left ventricular hypertrophy, yes my left HEART ventricle was reversed with KETO! This is just fear mongering and vegan propaganda.

there is no such thing as "no glucose in the blood", unless you overdosed on insulin
Hey Mic, is it possible to consume too much potassium in a day on a whole foods plant based vegan diet? Also do you do a 10-10-80 ratio for protien-fats-carbs?
Hey Natalie, I am not super strict in following macro ratios but from time to time I will weigh around 80-10-10 when I check. Maybe I drift close to 75% carbs when I eat more nuts and avos. If you are not diabetic or have kidney failure you shouldn't have to worry about a potassium overdose.
"A diet rich in potassium is unlikely to cause hyperkalemia." healthyeating.sfgate.com/eating-much-potassium-6569.html
You would have to eat a couple hundred bananas in a very short period of time to get potassium poisoning.
Mic. the Vegan Awesome thanks!
Natalie, you can easily balance out a potassium rich diet by eating some salt (sodium). Both sodium and potassium are important for the body and work together:
www.health.harvard.edu/newsletter_article/Potassium_and_sodium_out_of_balance
Natalie , just like Mic said, you shouldn't have to worry about it unless you have an underlying kidney problem. According to Dr. Greger, early civilizations on a plant based diet consumed around 10,000mg instead of our current amount of 4,700mg.
You can't overconsume potassium unless you're a 90 year old lady with kidney disease and eat 20 bananas.
About 2 years ago I tried a keto vegetarian (lacto ovo) diet and lost about 5 pounds, but felt sluggish and depressed. I also developed cramps in my lower legs for awhile. I was on it for a little over two months, and when I realized I wasn’t going to lose anymore weight or feel any better, I happily went back to my vegetarian diet.
Shortly after that I decided to finally go vegan AND calorie count (without going to extremes as I love to eat). My cramps disappeared after about 3 months, and I ended up 15 pounds lighter - much better results!!!
My keto experiment was a success: I learned that a low fat vegan diet is far better!! 😊
Excellent video! I have many friends who train with me following a Ketogenic diet and it's driving me crazy. It's normally the lone vegan vs 20 ketos. Thanks for giving me more ammunition ;)
really? It's hard to beleive that so many people would follow such BS. I mean, they they a vegan diet is restritive; it's not any less restrictive that the keto diet, especially when it doesn't stand for anything but disprooved athletic goals whereas a vegan diet stand for so much more than just looks, fantasy or whatnots.
On keto you can eat bacon and eggs and butter. And the high fat content makes you feel full for longer and makes you happier. This is not very restrictive because the carb cravings just go away. And the science is pretty clear now that keto is superior to the high carb diet if your goal is long term health or even for (most) athletic goals.
so you are displeased other people ont share the same sense of morality you have, is that it? cause i am the 1st one that dont share ANY values that vegans have. i eat animals and love eating them and will continue to burn and eat them, its delicious
Glad you need ammunition to prop you up, rather than just admitting you're wrong.
+Michael DeRobio
It's possible to be Vegan and Ketogenic at the same time. For example, an avocado has a lot of fat along with oils (avocado, olive, coconut, etc).
This guy is so misleading. The symptoms he’s referring to is “ketoacidos” NOT ketosis. Ketoacidosis arises from uncontrolled diabetes
Which symptoms are you referring to? All the symptoms listed by Paleo Mom seem to be for ketosis.
For the others I didn't go through all the studies to check so I thought I'd ask.
All the symptoms listed are from studies done on kids undergoing ketosis. Probably for treating their epilepsy. Ketoacidosis is a medical emergency. U won't get stunted growth from it. U will get immediate death
Thanks Mick, I think you've done a superb job here of researching and balancing the keto hype. When a diet says not to eat fruit and root veggies then you know its BS.
it doesn't say not to eat fruit. it says in moderate amount. the same with root veggies.
because of too much sugar in the fruits that mess up your insulin, and creates a fatty liver.
How many fruits were tour ancestors eating in Ireland? I'll give you a tip - very few!
Veganism is a religion not a diet.
It is? What God do they worship?
I was seriously addicted to sugar having grown up in a family where sugar was a part of nearly everything we ate. We drank sodas, sweet tea, and gallons of Kool-Aid loaded with multiple cups of sugar per gallon. Both my mom and dad were expert cooks and bakers so there was no shortage of sweets at any time. I was never fat but my health began to turn for the worse after I turned 50 (currently 63). Since beginning a Keto diet I no longer eat or have cravings for sugar. My diet consists of tons of vegetables, moderate fats and protein, and low carbs. I eat one sometimes two meals per day then fast for at least 18 hours before the next cycle of meals. I only drink lemon water, tea, and coffee all unsweetened and I DON'T SNACK. My health has improved greatly since I started and I have no problems sticking to the diet because I no longer have cravings for anything sweet. My goal was not so much to lose weight (even though I did), but to wean myself from sugar which I did. The diet I'm on is touted as a "Healthy" Keto diet which implies there are unhealthy Keto diets. So even though the diet works for me, I do understand the reason for concern. Keto is great for losing weight but maybe it should not be used as a long term solution. One must use common sense based on knowledge and not just follow the Keto gurus. I think all diets must be tailored to the individual and no one knows you better than you. So just be careful, learn as much about the diet as possible and implement what works for you.
eat fruit sugar. stop eating the refined its that simple
now that you fast for 18 hours and dont eat refined sugars anymore. I think you are good and will stay healthy for a vary period of time. Also the other guy commenting on your comment. You can eat berries, and strawberries on the ketor diet.
@@amirrhodesve791 Seriously. I don't get why people have to make it so complicated and extreme. Cut refined sugar and processed stuff, then just eat the whole foods that you want/like.
Yes, maybe keto lets you eat berries but a lot of whole foods are demonized because they have too many carbs, yet you can eat all the carcinogenic bacon that you want. How does that make sense?
@@mchobbit2951 litterally I was addicted to sugar but now I just mostly eat fruit but do still have refined sugar now and then. Refined in moderation isn't that bad when your eating a overall healthy diet.
@@amirrhodesve791 Maybe I should have said severely reduce vs. cut as I agree with that. Of course it's best when you fully cut it, but better to have it in moderation than to end up in a restrict/binge cycle if you can't.
I hate keto for demonizing so many foods that aren't even unhealthy. It encourages eating disorders. It often floors me that it's so popular.
I was on a Keto diet before I went plant based. I didn't realise how bad I felt or how little energy I had until I went plant based - I'm never going back.
@HM Fitness Once you get fat adapted, you'll know the answer. It gives a consistent energy level without crashing.
On a side note, keto is good for endurance and prolonged activities like running, and trailing but it doesn't shine as much for super strenuous activities that require fast energy use, such as mountain climbing and circuits.
Keto diet still requires carbs. 20 to 50g is already enough to fuel your body. You may increase your carb intakes depending on the activity at hand.
@HM Fitness You don't need to tell me that I'm stupid. I'm just stating studies done regarding keto. You can do whatever you like. You can even go High carb low fat and it will still work.
Why are people nowadays get easily triggered? Like wtf is wrong with you? I'm not even stating that what you think is wrong.The length of your comment tells a lot of story about you.
I've done keto (done 3 months) and high carb diet (2 months) and now back to keto. Both works. It still depends on your preference. What I strongly believe is that you can't be high fat and high carb the same time because of health and high insulin issues.
Keto works. That's a fact. I've reversed my hypertension, and blood sugar level. I even lost 48 lbs in just 3 1/2 months coupled with HIIT sessions. I also do half marathons, Sundays once every 2 weeks.
The first month of keto will suck. As you will feel so bad and a bit dizzy, I did not finish my runs during that month as it felt so bad. But the 2nd month is amazing. It felt normal and I can do my routines well like I used to. I shifted to High carb after some months because a friend told me to try it and it was also nice, but I went to back to keto after a couple of months because I missed eating meat.
It will depend on your body still. Just listen to it.
@HM Fitness awww look how riled up you got. so cute
@HM Fitness that would depend on the distance. the longer the fatter
@HM Fitness ever heard about gluconeogenesis?
So I wanna share my personal experience of a ketogenic diet here. So on to the numbers first: Over a period of 1 year I lost about 35 kg of total weight, whereas i brought my bodyfat from over 25% to around 14,5% right now. I also gained 3 kg of muscle mass during that time. (I regularly had my bodyfat/musclemass/bodywater tested in the university sports institute)
I cut sugars/grains/dairy/'bad fats'/alcohol/soy from my diet and replaced them with starchy vegetables, nuts, olive/coconut oil and coconut milk. Also i eat a shitton of vegetables, because that's what you do on a ketogenic diet. (Not just meat and fat)
Overall my body became lean and fit. I have more energy and my libido also was enhanced. I became less depressed and my skin got way better.
I am very happy with the ketogenic lifestyle so far, but now a little worried. I now want to get my blood levels tested.
If you feel better than you have for a long time then I wouldn't let anyones rethoric deter you from what you are doing, be it the Keto Camp or the Vegan. The one thing that is missing from all of the Vegan / Keto discussions is the part that your individual Heritage and migration of your ancestral Paternal and Maternal Haplogroups play. I come from a family laden with Autoimmune disfunction and all of them have improved dramatically on the Ketogenic Diet - one of my sisters continues to eat Vegan on medical advice and is now looking down the barrel of a liver transplant (having been very active her whole life, not drank or abused her body whatsoever - only 37). I reviewed our Haplogroups, discovered we have 20000 years of Heritage on the British Isles, primarily Ireland. What was available year 'round to eat here? Cold weather vegetables, small amount of edible root weeds (dandelion for example) certain perrenial plants and berry bushes, meat and fish. I don't think eating 2lbs of steak every day is the way to go by any stretch as historically none of ancestors would have turned up food that was readily available, be it plant of animal based. Just keep going with what makes you feel good, occassionally come out of ketosis for periods to improve your metabolic flexibility (think seasonal eating of fruit for example) and enjoy your life. The medical industry is turning on to value of nutrition and I suspect the standard advice will cange in the future regarding the role of Cholesterol relative to heart disease
So how were your bloods???
Harold A. Franch, MD, professor of nephrology at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia, said the new study findings are not surprising given the well-known problems with excess protein and high net acid load in the diet. “Studies in 1998 showed Atkins diets, the predecessor of keto diets, worsened kidney stones by increasing urinary calcium and lowering protective citrate. The effect of dietary protein on raising single nephron [glomerular filtration rate], worsening proteinuria, and driving renal progression is ancient history for nephrologists,” Dr Franch said.
The difference between veganism and keto (and paleo) for me? Getting my life back. Veganism (and I’m a chef, was a vegan chef, and do nutrition), almost destroyed my life. Keto saved my life, and gave me my fertility back (after 4 years of amenorrhea.)
i tried a keto diet and within 4 days i was passing out and vomiting uncontrollably. i was sent to the hospital and had to stay hospitalized for an entire weekend because of how acidic my body had become. the doctors were literally scrambling around trying to make sure i didn't go into a coma or die. the doctor who took care of me told me told me it was directly because of ketosis, and told me how insane that diet was. he literally said "you know how people try that whole ketogenic diet? you're in ketosis, that's why you're sick - your body is starving" and one of the nurses exclaimed how glad she was i had come to the er, because another day and i may have been comatose. now when i see all these videos about the keto diet or see "keto" products in stores i just cringe because of how much damage this diet is doing to people. (sidenote: i have been on and off vegan and vegetarian my entire life and have no history of any serious diseases or disorders, no nutrient deficiencies, i'm at a healthy body weight for my age and gender, i exercise regularly, and have perfectly normal blood sugar and blood pressure. my hospitalization was entirely due to the diet, as was expressed by my doctor. i was otherwise a healthy 21 year old woman)
Rose Smith on keto half your plate should be greens/ veggies. Then 3 or ; oz of a meat and then something added to increase fat if the meat is lean. Sometimes it’s just a small slice of cheese. Way less than typical American diet and way more greens than typical too. Also you gotta keep electrolytes up and only drink water when you are thirsty. Don’t drink the milk as it’s loaded with carbs. Heavy cream is fine in coffee or a dessert as it’s zero carbs etc etc.
I doubt you were doing the keto diet correctly. I eould be curious to actually see the exact things you were eating. Also, it is not true you can go into ketoacidosis unless you're a type 1 diabetic, so the doctors you encountered were just fearmongering you. If you read this, please send me an example of the meals you would eat in a day when doing keto.
lol
There's a right and a wrong way to do every diet and no 1 diet works for everyone. Cherry picked info to support your cause and nothing from Jeff Volek. The same can be done with the vegan diet but vegans are known to be closed minded and self righteous for their diet so people who blindly follow a youtuber without doing their own unbiased research is bound to remain ignorant.
You sound soooooooo open minded.
Sisa Limpson: Thank you ;)
I agree with your first point. I have to add, though, that there is no such thing as a 'vegan diet'. Veganism is simply the refusal to purchase or consume anything that comes from animals. A 'vegan diet' isn't really a thing. You get keto vegans, paleo vegans, high carb low fat vegans, whole food vegans, junk food vegans...
Some people do choose a plantbased diet for health and believe animal foods to be unhealthy. That's not what vegan means, though. I think Mic wasn't correct in comparing 'keto' to 'vegan' because to do so doesn't really make sense: You can be vegan and go into ketosis, and 'vegan' isn't a diet (although it is, in part, about what you eat).
I hope that makes sense!
Agreed... I did a bit more research into the program I facilitate with a doctor (I focus on behavioural modification and he focusses on the nutritional science). The approach Mic is speaking of is INCREDIBLY extreme and not what a typical or average user of a ketogenic model would support. In fact, when done properly you can achieve ketosis while still eating 140 grams of green leafy veggies per day (measure that out, most people can't even eat that many in a day) as well as 6 servings (cups) of other veggies. It is also possible to be keto and vegan (in fact, I am and it's totally sustainable!). I love Mic's videos and will keep watching as I am only newly vegan but finding lots of options (i have not missed or craved meat even once.
I agree with you as well. I would also say that when done properly, Keto isn't a diet either. It's a term that is used to describe a state that the body goes into but it is also (in modern times) represented as a lifestyle, a choice in food, an attitude, and correct food behaviours. It's a fully sustainable model when applied correctly!
I cannot digest high fat at all I get horrible IBS and acid reflux. I had heart palpitations too! Never ever ever high fat is deadly - I just stick to 80/20 mostly fruits and vegetables 20% protein.

The problem with many of the studies I have seen on keto diet, especially that trials, are they feed such terrible food. When I switched my household over to keto we now drink veggies smoothies with yeast and wheat grass juice powder. We eat lots of veggies, cut out all the processes food and snack way way less. We are all feeling healthier, losing weight and getting more vitamins and minerals then ever before. Many of the side effects listed on the list in the beginning are things that happen on any poor diet. You can be vegan or vegetarian and still eat terrible because animal products are not the source ow what is bad in food. You can eat a version of keto and feel like crap if you don't eat veggies to get the vitamins and minerals you need.
Neither diet is bad but I found keto had advantages when it came to sustainability in our house and it helps with ADHD in the household.
Went vegan, got put in the hospital. Went paloe/keto and now my doctor says all of my markers for death and disease are all perfect. Not everyone is the same.
Yeah this guy just kinda said what he wanted he was super biased
For real. I tried both vegan and keto, and in the end, I am now only on Keto. I do eat more carb than the standard keto diet though. This vid is just bias. The main point of the ketogenic diet is that you can only eat for a short period of time during the day(for example, OMAD), and have less to do with what you eat every day. Obviously, eating too much fat will just gonna harm you, but that's not what the keto diet is about. Some people are on high carb Keto diet, some are on high protein Keto, some are on high fat Keto, and most people like me are on omnivore Keto. But being on Keto diet means you have to eat less frequently during the day. The Keto diet is the only thing that could help me burn fat and help me reduce the drug dosage for my autoimmune diseases. Pure Vegan, on the other hand, triggered my autoimmune conditions.

Keto is keto, vegan or raw vegan, its not good. Short term one feels good because fat helps mask inflammation, eventually the liver and kidneys will shut down and then you will be asking god to save you with prayers.
+WizardofRaw how about you google ketones and inflammation and look at the studies that pop up?

Might wanna look into "Starch Solution" as well, Dr. McDougall has the best ideas about living a healthy and kind life in my opinion.
Unfortunately most people in the diet industry just go with the mainstream opinions and tell people what they wanna hear, that's why they don't work in 99% of cases and cost so much.
It's vegan dogma. He chooses to ignore the positive studies to promote his agenda. Long history of hipster vegans playing the same od tune here on the tube.
The Intelligent Omnivore Dude what studies? I'm living a starch based life and all he says is true. I was really sick before and am now totally healthy and lost 50 pounds on top of that.
So I'm also just imagining everything that happened to me and tens of thousands of other people who were saved by the starch based diet?
I think you're dogmatic for denying facts.
I'm vegan and have been on a ketogenic diet for over three months. I am also on one meal a day. I have lost 13kg, I have more energy than EVER before, I am a nurse and used to be tired all the time. I have no cravings and no dark circles under my eyes. I am not starving myself and have suffered no adverse effects. Whatever I eat, I make sure no animal has suffered or died, and I make sure I am getting all the nutrients I need. Vegan ketosis and intermittent fasting has changed my life for the better.

Funny thing is I have done Keto 8 months and have reversed my hypoglycemia, fatty liver, high blood pressure, lowered my cholesterol and lost loads of weight.
A high carb vegan diet before that made me fatter and sicker.....but I may have done it wrong and plus being really overweight at the time I could have been more insulin sensitive.
I'm on the Keto diet for about 3 years. I started it because of my tendency of overeating and my BMI got over 25. also my blood pressure was a little to high, not dramatic but but for maybe 20 years. (i'm now 66) and after having found good solid evidence for the keto-diet I gave it a shot. My blood pressure normalized within a week, my right hip and knee that are affected by Arthritis (from having 2 '' difference in leg-length) are no longer hurting (mainly from cereal). But what I had completely forgotten to monitor was my shoulders. Since having had a broken collarbone about 20 years ago I've had to sleep on the non effected side for 6 weeks and my other shoulder turned so hurtful during sleep that I had to avoid lying on that shoulder and so during sleep I always woke to turn around and lye on the other shoulder. I was so used to it that I didn't suffer from it and I accepted it as a fact of life. It only hurt when I lay on these shoulders but it didn't impair my movement otherwise. I was so used to the nightly pain that I didn't think of it anymore, but after a year or so I noticed that I didn't have any pain in my shoulders anymore. My weight was 83 kg at max and it automatically stabilized at 70 kg, nothing dramatic.
OK what is mainly wrong with many diet research is the epidemiological basis. It means that you can't identify causes and effect with correlation.

The problem is that there is so much misinformation going on that it is confusing to everyone.
You would think that an animal like a Gorilla has a true carb metabolism with mainly getting his energy from glucose (and other sugars). but you are in for a surprise: The fiber (cellulose) he gets from soft leaves and sprouts are not directly digestible but all soluble sugars actually go to his microbes that use it to turn fiber into saturated fat that is more than 80% of the energy the Gorilla uses. So this is a slow process and requires special bacteria that are "stored"in his extensive organ that is our appendix. This Gorilla is the only true vegetarian ape and he has the smallest brain with the lowest activity. He can;'t grow a larger brain as he doesn't have the protein or the (fat/Ketones) energy.
For cows something similar goes on but they are specialized in chewing grass and keep renewing teeth that are especially tough as grass contains silicates that are hard to chew before digestion. All ruminants have more or less the same base-plan and are able to mix in a lot of microbes during chewing so they get much more nourishment from the fibers, but they can't use the sugars either as the microbes eat it. So the fat in the milk is from the microbes ... If the microbes are killed by antibiotics a cow gets keto acidosis and dies very swift.
Our brains are 7 times larger than any apes and require 50 times the energy while our guts are less then 30% of the length.From veggies? Human brains have schrunck 11 % since agriculture (Egypt) but it allowed us to store large food reserves for many years to avoid famine. It was gradually introduced and got many small steps in getting more reliable and by the final step of pre digesting by yeast and baking it got really pretty reliable and an economic focus. Of course the nomadic herders were ridiculed and as they also threatened the crops of the settled farmers it was understandable that they were ridiculed. Those savages....
I do think of the animals, we protect them from the predators and reduce stress for these animals. I don't mind the killing as this is natural too. I do think it can be done a lot humaner so I buy ''bio" if I can get it.
I do think that it is possible to use the cow microbes to convert fiber into saturated fat for food without the cow but for now I accept that animals die for us. I also eat organ meat (mainly liver) when possible and it should be respected that no meat should go to waist.
If ketones instead of glucose is used to make ATP the mitochondria produce almost no oxidative materials that damage cells and their DNA and also mitochondrial DNA. this is the start of cancer The DNA damage is not the cause of cancer but the downstream effect of damaged mitochondria that force the affected cells to use fermentation (anaerobic metabolism of glucose) that is much more oxidative damaging and causes downstream of the anaerobic fermentation. This is the start of cancer. Cancer cells depend on glucose and starve when glucose is not abundant. As long as no metastasis are formed cancer cells dye when no glucose is available. When macrophages from our immune system are combating cancer cells they resort to internally digest them. sometimes this produces a chimer between the cancer cell and the macrophages. The normal macrophages can readily transport through the bloodstream but cancer is not like that. the cancer Chimera can now spread without detection. the macrophages can live on glucose but also on other amino-acids mainly glutamin. This is not easy to just avoid so metastasis are a lot harder to starve. See website of Thomas Seyfried:

I don't think a moral argument has any value for health.
It is true that many people are very divided over the issue and I try to stay away from that. Some opponents suppose there is a malicious aspect to the misinformation but that is not very productive: it is not possible to prove that without a confession and it clouds judgement to be mad about it. It is bad enough that people are so bad at recognizing the truth and seeing where they are in error.
For me the youtube introduction by Ivor Cummins to the subject of the cholesterol conundrum gives a method of reducing literature to only a few articles that can withstand scrutiny helps a lot at getting the important information.

OK but please don't come complaining about your health problems and hospital bills if you keep going down the keto path for years. This diet has been tested extensively on epileptic children, and because of the SERIOUS proven health risks it's only recommend if you have a SERIOUS psychiatric disorder that is even worse than the keto side effects. You have now been warned about it. Also, imagine doing such an extremely restrictive, almost heroic diet, in order to harm your health? It's the biggest double whammy imaginable! 🤷♂️🤷♀️
@@Magar6 My post was 4 y. ago and I'm still on keto. I'm 70 now and since 6 months just to be sure I check my BP twice daily as WHO recommends, it never gets problematic. My only medical costs are from checking my skin for cancer because as a white person I grew-up in the tropics.
What happens when you're on keto, you pee out more salt, this is why carb eaters are advised to eat less salt to avoid hypertension. It seems insulin makes kidney's retain salt because glucose needs compensation.
If you like you can look up this diet with Dr Eric Westman (obesity clinic at Duke MC) and find his medical publications in PubMed. I admire him and my favorite quote: "You can't outrun a bad diet." So even if you're in a wheelchair you can lose weight and get off meds, but if you're on meds don't try it on your own.

@@hermandejong4309 Thanks for your reply. I am genuinely surprised to hear that you still like keto. I heard it's very bad long-term. I'm happy it's still working for you.
@@Magar6 Since I've been alone for 10 years it's easier to control my nutrition but it stays hard to avoid smelling addictive foods like strong smelling candy and chocolates, but fresh baked bread can also do it, although it tastes terrible. In this region licorice candy is very popular and it smells strongly in our supermarkets. It has been my main addiction and it also has a hypertension effect. Some herbal teas are laced with it. But everybody has there personal struggles. In 1976 I was quitting a daytime job and continuing schooling on a scholarship. This motivated me not to spend money on tobacco( or alcohol ) and I finally succeeded in stopping with smoking. It was the right time.
Staying on it is easy as I eat a lot less often and from day one I completely quit lunch. Often I eat an omelet w/o bread in the morning (2 eggs some fatty bacon and real butter. ) I don't use cheese as it caused 50 years of head-aces until I heard it could be the cause. The fattest meat is ground meat, especially pork or mixed contain more fat and less protein. Hamburger paddies, sausages, salami. I also love liver and I learned to appreciate it from childhood. Ground meat is cheap and mainly leftover from cuttings to remove fat from the expensive meats ( lipophobia ). Liver is hard to sell in these days and is mostly processed for its B12 and other supplements. I also tasted brain and would eat that, but because of a potential epidemic of BSE or Creuzfeld-Jacob it was banned and can't be purchased. Although the epidemic never materialized they never lifted the ban. I also had kidneys and that tasted good too.
I do eat leafy vegetables and some asparagus or broccoli or cauliflower and I have some high fat low sugar Greek yogurt.
Linseed-oil is so unstable because of the very numerous double bonds, that it was known by Egyptians that use it for mummification it produced soot on king tut's mummy.. Used for coating (Varnish) and painting it solidifies in a few days just by oxidation. Putty is linseed-oil with powdered chalk, if you apply a layer of this putty on a jut matting it becomes linoleum. And these plant based poly unsaturated fats are now widely used in foods. If from cooking with sunflower oil I get a splatter on my kitchen tiles or Stainless steel sink after wiping them off it turns out they are solidified and fixed. Soy-bean oil is no different, it can also catch fire in work-clothes from fast-food rest-s on it's way to the laundering firms. Olive oil was used by Romans to help with bulling hair from their body and for anti grip in wrestling and for oil-lamps, candles were very expensive. Now with Olive-oil it is half saturated fats ans half mono-unsaturated and only a small fraction poly unsaturated. I would maybe use that for unheated use like salads, but heating accelerates oxidation. The best stuff for heating and frying is animal fat tallow normally has more saturated fat then suet, but I prefer real butter for my frying.
me personally, i never understood the point of all these weight loss diets that arent even sustainable long term. Eat a balanced whole food diet (animal products are optional) from all the food groups that you can tolerate and watch how many calories you consume. Weight loss is calories in, calories out. All these restrictive diets for weight loss make no sense and its just full of people who want a quick results without the hard work.
I lost 66 pounds in 6 months on the ketogenic diet.

Mic. I'm going to listen to this again to make sure I overstand what is being said. I am confused however about whether the ketogenic diet is the actual cause of the enlarged heart and heart attack examples that you mentioned. The resource materials that you posted state that the cardiomyopathy resulted because of selenium deficiency instead of what I would expect it to state. I would have expected it to state that the ketogenic diet caused the heart attacks. Can you please clarify?
He's being intellectually dishonest, or he's dumb and/or didn't actually read the material. Those are the two options, do you want him to clarify if he's lied to people (because that's not going to happen)?
Even if he made an honest mistake you won't know for sure, because if he's lying now he'd just lie again to save face.

This is great! He shares what is the current research, not the Ancel Keys propaganda that started the U.S. (and the rest of the world) on this explosion of diabetes, hypertension, inflammation, cancer and other non-communicable diseases.
Selenium deficiency could be more common in a diet that excludes many starches, which are common sources of selenium. A ketogenic diet doesn't make that inevitable, but it does make micronutrient deficiency a real risk.

I would have avoided going keto, feeling great for 3-6 months, but crap after that 😔.

Congrats on going backwards! Adding useless more frutose and carbohydrates to your diet that add no nutritional benefit what so ever, that sounds like the key to make you happier!

I did a paleo/keto diet for 4 years. I was the leanest I had ever been in my life. Some of the major side effects were hair loss, fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, and best of all debilitating depression that took years to resolve.
These diets work until they don’t and tank your thyroid function while also depleting your liver of all its glycogen stores. Becoming so extremely sick made me do research and find out that the body actually runs on glucose and without it, it will convert everything you eat (including your internal organs) into glucose. The sad part about all this is that we live in a society that is obsessed with looks and most people will try anything to look and feel great including destroying their health. The true markers of health are:
Sleep
Hair, nails, skin
Digestion
Libido
Mood (relaxed and calm)
If any of those are off it’s because of your poor dietary choices. It’s taken me over 4 years to recover from that nightmare and I’m still not 100%.
@Sahanda yumurta please read more biology books. There’s no such thing as the wrong kind of keto cause they’re all wrong.
Oh goodness that sounds terrible!! I hope you’re recovering okay! May be a long process to reverse the keto damage but the body is fully capable of healing!! Wishing you the best.
I think you just confused correlation with causation. You state your side effects included hair loss, fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, and depression. How did you establish that these problems were caused by your keto diet? Also, exactly how did your alleged keto diet look like? I ask this question because I have encountered numerous cases of people who were allegedly doing keto but did not understand that keto requires over 60% of fat (if you reduce carbs, you need to increase fat). It would be interesting to see how you established this causation and what your meals looked like. With this information I might be more inclined to accept your statements as valid.
I can only speak to the wonderful results my wife and I have encountered with a low-carb (20-50 grams fat per day, not ketogenic) manner of eating. My wife reversed pre-diabetes and related skin, arthritis, and breathing difficulties, and lost significant weight. My short eight-week low carb adventure resulted in weight loss, vascular improvements in my mild edema-prone left leg, and significant improvements in mental clarity. I have maintained my fat adaptation and take bike rides of 50-100 miles with only water and no carbs and that is starting in the morning fully fasted. All of these benefits require that you give up most of the junk you have been mistakenly calling food. Removal of junk food can be a deal breaker for some.
Did she reverse it or just avoid triggering it with carbs? I am sure it's the latter.
"reversal' is the most bs term made up by Vista Health
"We consider diabetes reversed when someone achieves an A1c below 6.5%, without requiring diabetes medications other than metformin. Metformin is excluded from reversal criteria because it is not diabetes-specific-many patients choose to stay on this medication for reasons other than blood sugar control"
"other than metformin" lol
I knew it's bad but this is so hilarious
anyway It's a bandaid at best
true reversal has only been showed by a caloric deficit diet and continue with low fat plant based diet

I'm curious about that too.
I have been vegan since 1982 .I 2010 I tried living on almonds and greens and fruit for One year .Eating mainly organic almonds and turnip greens for a year. I averaged 5/8 Lbs ( 283g) of oraganic almonds per day .I was moving , remodeling a house and farming and I did not have time to cook so I just ate the almonds and salads
after 1 year I suffered a heart attack . I did not get a stint .I knew it was form eating FAT .I gave up al;l fat except a spoonful of flax seed per day . And within a year I had no more heart pain and have never had any heart trouble ever since.
Intetesting observation: several years ago as a newly disgnosed scared type 2 diabetic I tried a keto type diet. I lost a lot of weight, but my overall health deteriorated! Thankfully the more vegan I go the more my health is restored.
I have seen vegans with high cholesterol. Carbs can also convert to cholesterol.
dude this is so wrong! i eat plenty of veggies on keto
I've been eating keto for years. My mood, body fat, sleep quality, dental health, acne, energy levels, and bowel movements have never been better. And I didn't come from a standard american diet, I came from a standard vegan diet.

"Meat, diary, oil, eggs and a few plants on the side. Just one banana would put above your carb limit"
You're correct, Mic ; it's very entertaining to listen to a non-keto dieter talking about the keto diet 😂
Oh, and I forgot the meta-analysis you showed at 13:00 that, in the study considered, followed... noone in ketosis.
Cherry-picking at its finest, Mic :)
Exactly lol ...I’d rather have all the food
'a few plants on the side' where did you get that from? The majority of what I eat is plant based. I would say 80%, maybe higher.
Personally I think both have positives. I think the main danger is having high carb and high fat/meat together like standard diets. But choosing one or the other seems to be positive for people, at least for weight loss purposes. Personally I prefer veganism for a variety of reasons; less chance of high blood pressure and cholesterol if you do it right and sensibly, I feel more energetic and more mentally alert when I eat carbs, I think it actually offers way more variety of food and flavours and I've plenty of options and I don't get bored with it, it is easier to sustain throughout a lifetime, it's better for the environment and of course the animals! Also I am a wee bit wary that many pro dairy and meat studies are funded by those industries
Prolonged state of ketosis is bad. Doesn't matter from where that ketosis is coming from
Exactly! Being in a prolonged state of ketosis is so unnatural for human physiology.
Shipping fruits and vegetables from around the world is not environmentally sound, eating locally raised beef is. You will be hard pressed to be a balanced vegan diet with just locally grown plants, especially during winter.
It would be nice to know to what extent these issues apply to plant-based/vegan keto, the war between carbs and fat is to narrow-minded, sadly
One can expect plant-based keto to yield better results, but the food choices are quite limited. "the war between carbs and fat is to narrow-minded, sadly" Actually, the best research shows that eating lots of saturated fat promotes insulin resistance and is causal in heart disease. And animal fat consumption is one of the two strongest predictor variables in the sharp rise in dementia in Asia (the other is added sugar).
Hes done a vegan keto video. Also, he talked about things that applied to all of keto. Also also, Im not sure why anyone would do keto lmao, especially with all of the downsides, and given that a high carb diet can be the best thing for health
@@karlwheatley1244 This is just absolutely false. Tell me what the mechanics are of saturated fat promoting insulin resistance? What does "promote" mean? The mechanics of insulin resistance is TOO MUCH INSULIN. Understand? Too much insulin flooding your system causes the cells to become resistant to that insulin hormone. What causes your pancreas to pump out excessive insulin? A high carb (sugar) diet will cause insulin spikes that spike higher and last longer flooding your system with this excessive insulin. Does consuming saturated fat cause excessive insulin spikes? NO IT DOES NOT. Sugar/carbs cause these excessive spikes. To say "the best research" is a joke. You understand there is no good research on this topic? And NEVER will be? The only way would be to lock a substantial number (1,000?) of people up and tightly control what they eat for a significant amount of time which would be just too expensive and therefore will NEVER happen.
@@KraigwithaK2112 "This is just absolutely false. Tell me what the mechanics are of saturated fat promoting insulin resistance? What does "promote" mean? The mechanics of insulin resistance is TOO MUCH INSULIN. Understand? "
No, that is not true, and in fact, you kind of have the causal arrows backwards--to much insulin release is a direct by-product of insulin resistance.
When you eat lots of fat--especially saturated fat--the cells in your muscles get full of fat, so then if you eat some carbs, insulin ferries the resulting glucose to the muscle cells, "knocks on the door" of the muscle cell, but insulin signaling is impaired, and the cell doesn't let the glucose in, as if it is saying to the insulin "Go away, I am already full of fat so I can't take your glucose)." But the body can't have all that excess glucose hanging out in the bloodstream, so it releases even more insulin to try to force the glucose into the cells.
Experimental studies, some going back over 80 years, clearly establish that ingesting fat creates insulin resistance within just 3 hours of eating it.
This 5-minutes video explains it, with links to the research summarized underneath:

People can rapidly reverse their diabetes by eating diets that are very low in fat (~10% of calories, not 30%) and eating lots of high-fiber WHOLE food carbs.
Dirty keto maybe. I've been vegan keto , loads of veg and fat. None of these problems yet after 7 years. Keep the glucose levels down to stay out of acidosis
I just started keto, and I feel better than I have in years. I will be getting regular checkups with my doctor to make sure none of by blood work is going sideways, but in my gut I feel this diet is more beneficial to me than the refined carbohydrate shit fest I was on before. I'm eating more vegetables than I have in my entire lifetime.
Get blood work done now and then another one in 6 months to compare. Keto has resolved so many problems I was having. Highly recommend you stick with it! Good luck.
This guy is listing studies done in the past 10+ years. Dude there has been more breakthroughs in the scientific realm concerning high fat diets in the last 5 years than there has been in the past 50+ years.
It doesn't matter that the studies are 10 years plus dumbass. If you have recent studies that make those studies listed obsolete or outdated then list them.
Adam Jackson If you gave a fuck about the truth you'd look yourself.
Here is just one of many studies done recently. www.cell.com/cell-metabolism/fulltext/S1550-4131(17)30490-4
lol i guess a source of scholarly journal articles isn't good enough for ya
The best kind of diet. Is the old fashion diet. The right amout of fruits, vegetables, protein, and fats.
It was also a diet for DIABETES Before the use of Insulin. That said most healthy long lived societies use a mix of healthy fats, proteins and carbs. Dr. Colin Campbell's research correlates high animal protein and fat intake with cancer and heart disease (as does Dr. Esselstyn). The key to a ketogenic diet is FATS and little protein. We know this does not occur naturally in nature. One final thought, from Sumerian history circa 6000 years ago we find the natives were made fun of as they ate like the rest of the animals and did not know of wheat.
Your eyes, your shirt, the background, perfectly colour coded.
Sv3rige has his hands over his ears, "not listening, not listening"
David Hutchinson lol, i discovered this dude few days ago
he is the dude that stopped me being a vegan
he has a lot in common with vegans then
It's sad that anyone would follow a half-wit such as Sv3rige.
He is right, we need meat! The vegan diet will wreck you
Hey Mic! What are your thoughts on intermittent fasting? Would love to see a video about that!
Me too
I was on Keto for 2 weeks.....My chest was so heavy and aching, got off immediately....Went to the doctor had a ekg...Nothing they can do unless I have an actual heart attack.....70- to 80% fat diet...INSANE!!.... I don't care what anyone says or how much weight you've lost...I would hate to see your arteries. Side affects are horrible, unnatural and unattainable.
This guy actually makes people hate vegans even more - and there are actually some really smart one's out there. Some of them are actually doing vegan ketogenic diet which is also great and is respectable.
