My Uncle back in Jamaica grew all his own food. The only meat he ate was sardines or one of the chickens if he could catch one! His diet was not really Keto as a lot of ground provisions (yams, potatoes, etc) have too many carbs. However, I think most agree that carbs from a natural source rather than carbs from processed foods are handled differently by the body. What can be said is his diet for sure was as natural (unprocessed foods) as you can get, he has never bought so much as a pound of sugar. Between his diet and the exercise he got from planting and tending to it all himself he lived to be 106 years old. Sadly he passed away last year. BUT - Here's the thing. He lived alone until after he turned 105 years old. We provided his meals only because we were afraid of him using a stove which he did until he was 104 years old. He took his own showers and dressed himself. He liked to take his radio outside and sit on his front porch. He'd greet any visitor by name even if he hadn't seen them for 20-30 years. He could tell you stories of things that happened when he was a boy 5-6 years old. And in case you forgot, he can tell you things you were doing when you were 5-6 years old. I know this story is not really promoting a Keto diet, but I think the point is that if you can have a diet that eliminates all these sugary processed foods, you're likely to have real health benefits.
Your story promotes why most of us are adopting keto - our insulin is out of whack and it’s mostly due to our consuming sugar and highly processed foods. Had we eaten like your uncle, keto (and intermittent fasting) would never have become popular. I’m reading Robert Lustig’s Metabolical - I highly recommend. Insulin is the problem. Most of us look at insulin as the fat storage hormone. But it also ruins your health. Being fat doesn’t make you ill. The high levels of insulin that made you fat, makes you will.
Been on keto almost 1 year!lost 37 lbs 175 lbs and 60 years old .it was a gradual transition, gave up potato chips cold turkey . We didn’t throw out All the bad food but didn’t buy anymore . 2 meals a day and no food after 530 pm . Big salad every night extra virgin olive oil. Eggs bacon most mornings coffee with heavy whipping cream and cacao and cinnamon in a blender so delicious it’s like a latte .my wife has lost 30 lbs too! So much easier when you do keto diet together .
Congratulations!! 7 months for us and I have lost 36 pounds. My husband less so but he had less to lose and he loves the meat, fish and eggs I prepare daily. We use our air fryer for most meats, including pork tenderloin. We love salmon salad made with canned salmon, Mayo and pickles or olives.
At 2:25, please read the ingredients on those yellow or green plastic lemons and limes. Unsavory and down-right dangerous ingredients. It's better to buy the fruit, expel the juice and freeze in a BPA, etc. free freezer bag.
FOLLOW UP .. I cut carbs on 18 march 2023. The first week was HORRIBLE..!! After that it became easy. I also started walk every day around 10.000 to 13.000 steps. Besides I do intermittent fasting. I lost 7.8 kg 😁. More natural fats I eat, the more fresh I feel ..! I did various of diet before and I failed..! Because I kept feeling hungry..! Adding carbs to my diet keeps me hungry and want more food..! KETO diet helps me lose weight with no hunger..! Now I feel full some times I forget to eat..! But because I am walking I eat to get strength 😁 ** today is 9 may 2023, my total kg I had lost is 10 kg 😍. My daily steps increased up to 15.000 steps per day.
OK, I have to admit I had to convert kilograms to pounds. 22 pounds in less than two months is impressive as hell! I hope you were still eating low-carb and getting the steps in keep going, you will make your life so much better.!
Best things you can do for yourself! Feel better, huh?---I do intermittent fasting (usually 16fast /8eat (brunch and dinner)) and ketovore. I have balance/neurologic issues from having had depleted B12 (dr. never told me I needed to take B12 while on metformin--he never even tested my B12 when I had symptoms, neurologist found it). So I don't walk too much right now. I am NEVER hangry. Am Type II diabetic , have lost 25 lbs in 3 mos and reduced A1c blood glucose to non-diabetic level=5.6. This is the ONLY way I have EVER controlled my blood sugar--EVER.
Ketogenic to beat cancers since 1986 ! No regrets never went high high fat but some days I eat more somedays less it’s hard to hit the protein when your not hungry. But more and more I definitely have got the perfect balance of just fat and protein and never had any issues w all the thing’s during later life I think it’s because I started ketogenic life way back when made the transition easier for me closer today to more carnivorous as Dr Baker does he raised his fats to help his neck.. and yes I love this morning shift because I have always had the Dawn effect. So it definitely is brilliant! Love you Dr Boz and love sharing your thoughts and knowledge with the troops here at Camp Lejeune health and wellness! ❤❤❤❤
Try doing this wife a wife who absolutely will not change her eating habits. I will be 74 in October. I am in my 53rd week of mainly a Carnivore Diet. (There have been a total of 30-45 days when strict carnivore did not occur.) As of this a.m., I have lost 60 pounds. (I started 8-7-23 at 296.8 and I am now at 236.8). My A1c has gone from 6.4 to 5.4-5.6. Over the last 60 days, I have plateaued, but 2 weeks ago, I recommitted to strictly carnivore and I have started loosing weight again. This week, as an example, 4.2 pounds. I am basically on the Beef/Bacon/Butter/Egg diet, but I do have chicken, pork, and fish (tuna steaks and shrimp) on occasion. I also eat some cheese, with Hamburger or with scrambled eggs. I basically eat bacon & eggs 7 days a week for Breakfast and Steak/Meat 7 days a week for dinner. Most days my first meal is after 12:00 noon, when I return from the gym. (3 days a week.) On my off days from the Gym, I usually eat my first meal around 11-11:30. My last meal of the day is usually eaten between 8:00-8:30 pm. While I am not "You Tube Star" rich, I do spend what I want on meats, and you would think that you might tire of Ribeyes...but SURPRISE...not me. I do not always buy Angus and boneless quality but I do 1/2 and 1/2. I also like Grass Feed and you can taste a difference. I use a lot of the recipes from Laura Spath, which I find on her You Tube Channel. I cook my steaks in an a Ninja Air Fryer usually, and occasionally on my Blackstone. The only spices I use are Salt Pepper Garlic in a shaker from Blackstone. I also use White Pepper and Redman Salt. I will occasionally make a ketchup/yellow mustard/mayo mix for my burgers...or use grilled onions on my burgers...always with 1/2 slice of American Cheese on each. The only other non-carnivore foods I eat sometimes are chopped up red, yellow, green, orange bell peppers, mixed together and with onion added. I keep a giant gallon bag of these frozen in my freezer and will occasionally add them to my scrambled eggs. I use very little dairy, but do add @ 1 oz. Heavy Whipping creme to scrambled eggs. I tried the Keto Diet, and some of the foods are good, especially those with cabbage, but I am not into most vegetables, especially the ones Keto "allows." I miss my potatoes, yams, some rice, and pasta, but I would rather do without than eat the veggies that Keto recommends, most of which I have never included in my diet, a regular basis.eaten. When I looked at Dr. Boz's Free Spreadsheet, I knew immediately, there was no way I was going to track all that material, just to eat my meals daily. I like her attitude and her videos, but I am not a statistician. On the carnivore diet, it's easy. Eat Meat. Live Long. Live Well. If you have to...eat a Pizza or Jersey Mike's Philly Cheese Steak sandwich 3-4 times a year. I have tried the Keto Buns and Bread from Nature's Own. Not bad tasting and very low Carb. (1-2 net carbs a piece, I believe.) There are also flour tortilla's from La Bandarita and Mission, (I prefer the La Bandarita,) than have 0-4 net carbs, depending on the size of the tortilla. They can be filled with carnivore foods, add cheese, and browned in butter. Love 'em. On the carnivore diet I rarely have gas or burp. On the American Standard Crap Diet, it was a problem. Once you are off the sugar, carbs, and typical American Crap Diet, your system will actually rebel against you if you "cheat." It is absolutely unmistakable. First year down, 60 pounds gone, 87 more pounds to reach my goal weight...150 lbs, what I weighed the I got home from Viet Nam in 1970. Good Health to one and all.
Awesome! That’s great! My husband has not been won over by increasing his fat intake but he does eat more meat which is excellent! I started carnivore 11/2022 and I follow Paul saladino’s with some fruit and honey here and there. But I do great with 95% meat based. My energy has significantly improved, I’m stronger than I was and the last 2-3 years of my life I have felt so good. Since j was around age 5, for 30 years I always felt sick. Eating fruit, eating veggies, we ate predominantly vegetarian at home and then ate seafood at restaurants. If I never ate beans again, which I don’t and i feel great! I also rarely have gas & burps are rare. Eating cruciferous vegetables gives me IBS symptoms, terrible bloating, so I rarely eat them now. It’s not worth it for me to loose an evening feeling sick in bed because of vegetables. And now that I don’t eat processed foods & I quit coffee & caffeine foods. I rarely get headaches. Life is definitely better. I had to hide the fact I had digestive problems for years and I always had constipation. Glad you’re having such the best with a carnivorous way of eating.
@@Fauxkerykes tons of pills are not giving your body anything it was lacking. Your body doesn't lack metformin it doesn't lack aspirin it doesn't lack any of those other pills. If you get yourself healthy and stay healthy they are going to start noticing you're the only healthy one that's not on meds, that has energy, that looks great. So don't give up and set a good example for your family
my daughter is the same way. I really wish she would get onto a healthy diet ASAP. In the meantime I'm trying to set a good example for her. I sent her Dr. Boz and other videos - Occasionally - I don't want to nag because then she'll completely ignore me.
@@Fauxkerykes, The key is to leave them to observe your health/wellness improving in a short period of time. Experience is the best teacher, after all! Blessings on Your Journey. 🙏😇✨💫🌱🌿🌻🐝🌳🌎💖🙌😺
I typically try not to post negative comments, but I believe people should be aware that the darling of the keto world (and most other diets), spinach, is one of the highest oxalate foods there are. Oxalate can cause body-wide problems for a large majority of people. It not only affects us physically, but mentally (depression, anxiety, brain fog). Look up Sally Norton for information on oxalate before choosing veggies.
Love being able to eat bacon, steak,pork,chicken,eggs, cheese, along with the fat without feeling guilting. Wow!! Cooking has become so simple and less time and so satisfying. It's a Winner all the way around. So glad my mom shared yr info with me. Our family have been sharing yr info and bought yr books. We are all on a very Healthy lifestyle now. I just wished we had known about Keto before my daughter Tonya(died from b cancer at age 33) she may have survived. Buty other daughter going through the same n cancer and now she has the info from you. She's a survivor! Love you bunches Dr Boz
I was very angry at the American Diabetes Association and the Food Pyramid (I just ignore them now). My mother died at age 64 with almost every complication from Type II diabetes, including multiple amputations. She did what they told her to do. Ate their approved foods, believed their lies. My grandmother who was used to eating a pretty much low carb all her life also became diabetic at an older age and died in her sleep at 84 with no complications. I was following in my mother's footsteps until I learned about low carb, then keto, and carnivore. My highest A1c was 8.9 and this week is 5.6! Down 25 lbs so far. I am almost my mother's age when she died. Not only did she die young but the suffering she had for 30 years with complications. But you know what, I cannot keep "should-ing " on myself or "if only, if only"--------cannot look back. Learn from the past but keep your eyes on today and the future. All my best wishes to you and your family.
@chickadeetle So four months later how are you doing? Sorry about your mom. We've certainly been sold a pack of lies by the government. I'm preaching the keto/carnivore lifestyle to anyone who will listen. I had the beginnings of rheumatoid arthritis in my hands. It's gone. I feel so wonderful. 10 lbs from my ideal weight!
Clean seeds out of Jalapeños then stuff with cream cheese, wrap with bacon, inserting toothpicks to keep bacon attached. Fry in avocado oil or bake in oven or grill them.
Or, just leave the seeds in. Bake them with a pound of diced bacon on top. The seeds are less “potent” when cooked. Sprinkle mozzarella on top and brown. Good stuff! We have lost hundreds of pounds in my house eating this way.
Heavy whipping cream add cocoa and the sweetener of your choice. Blend all together until you have a mousse!! Thank me later... You can also add peanut butter... Mmmmm
I have four children and a wife and non of them do Keto, The first six months was difficult but now two years in it is just part of life. My comfort food is mixed fruits with lots of cream.
@@EricAdamsonMI depends. If your trying to lose weight possible no but I had a cont glucose moniter eatin WHOLE fruit with whole milk greek yogurt or by itself, after a meal during the day when Im moving. I ate a 16 oz bowl of cherries and my sugar spiked like 15 point. gloucose goddess plus DR berg. when you get to you ideal weight and your no long craving sugar and no spikes. My cheat will be a tequila, fruit, sushi. SOMETIMES a cheat meal is ok, a cheat DAY will land you 15 pounds heavier. SO beware of holiday mindset
My comfort food is heavy whipping cream, with a few chopped strawberries blended together with cinnamon, stevia and a small dash of vanilla essence. This is a nice filling cream with a few strawberries! This is a fruit with much fewer carbs than others.
if you do a lot of cream everyday it can put weight back on you. Unless you are getting a lot of exercise. Not saying don't use heavy cream just watch the amount you are using and maybe not everyday as a dessert.
@@cactusladysouth1000 I’ve become less regular with that type of dessert now and have switched to 0 sugar yogurt with similar ingredients. Have lost 3 kg in the last year after losing 12 kg in the years before on keto.
Ribeye. Nothing comforts like a fat-laden 12-ouncer salted down and set out in the refrigerator for 24 hours, then heated in the oven at low temperature until the middle is 120°, and then seared for 45 seconds on each side in a 500° cast-iron pan. Oh yeah, we’re talking comfort.
About how long does it take until the middle is at 120? I know all ovens are different and you could only give me your result. I just need an idea. I'm seriously thinking I need to buy some probes for my meats, which I've never used before. Can you suggest a good one?
@@deboraheubanksrafferty Buy a food thermometer to take the internal temperature. Taylor is a good brand. It has a little "dimple" at the tip to record temp. To make make sure it's accurate, (especially if you drop it)plunge in a cup of ice water and it should go down to 32F. You can also do the hot water method by placing it in a cup of boiling water. It should go up to 212F. If the temperature is off recalibrate. See instructions how to do that.
Coat shrimp with egg yellows dipped in nutritional yeast and fry in your favorite fat until crisp, tastes like "tempura shrimp". Dip in yellow curry mayonnaise!!
I noticed that you often speak from personal experience in your videos. The combination of science and your life have helped me so much. I am learning from you that being wrong about something isn't a reflection on my character. It just means that I did not have all of the information I needed. I started my Keto journey by reading "Anyway You Can". In addition to reversing diabetes and high blood pressure, I am finding relief from the night terrors that have plagued me since childhood as well as relief from chronic PTSD and depression that I have struggled with since my late twenties. Thank you for the gifts of your wisdom and experience.
Hold up. It helped with PTSD?! I’ve had PTSD for 30 years and it’s still hard to go places alone; I’m hyper vigilant the entire time and exhausted when I get back home. I’m even hyper vigilant just being outside on my own property. If this diet can help fix that mess, I’ll do it just for that reason alone! 🙏🙏
@@gypsypath1 - I recently had a genetic test and found out that I have a genetic switch that makes it difficult to absorb B6 and B12. I think this might account for the long history of mental illness, alcohol dependency, and diabetes in my family. I started on a methylated B supplement three months ago and it has really helped.
@@gypsypath1 I struggled with chronic depression and bouts of anxiety most of my life until I basically removed all sugars, grains, starches, alcohol, seed oils and most fruit. I am cheerful, stable, active, and ambitious nearly carb free at age 76. May God bless you with a clear path to total health. ❤️🙏❤️
I take grated mozzarella and cheddar cheese sprinkle garlic powder and mix with an egg and form it into a circle on parchment paper and then bake. It tastes like cheesy bread.
my favourite is actually a drink not a food, take 3 eggs and whisk then add the equivalent of 1 table spoon of sugar of your preferred keto friendly artificial sweetener and 1 table spoon of cocoa powder. Whisk again and while whisking add 300ml of heavy cream. congratulations you now have keto milkshake? eggnog? chocnog? something tasty :D
Best tip for evening meal with sardines. Drain oil from 2 cans or 3 😁. Pop into a frying pan (no oil required) then add smoked paprika, garlic granules and chilli..keep tossing them occasionally to get them super crispy ..serve on a big handful of salad/microgreen leaves and a few walnuts pieces. Splash over with lemon juice (or lime ) and a good pour of EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil). Super tasty 😋😋😋
Edit to add: "chopped pickles" not cooked. I tried to edit my previous comment, but for some reason, YT is acting weird and won't let me make changes!😢
My regime: 1. Almost zero processed foods. 2. No alcohol. 3. Minimal carbs, but no silly obsessions. 4. Moderate exercise. 5. I seem to be tending towards one meal a day (not a goal, just where I seem to be ending up). Note: there is no science around the restricted eating window thing, other than that it naturally tends to force a calorie deficit. 6. (And most important....) I select whole foods from which I can make tasty stuff and won't get bored with. No need for "challenges". Note: food preferences change if bouncing in and out of ketosis on a clean diet. For example I look forward to mackerel with cabbage and vinegar - previously I would have puked at the idea when I was eating masses of bread and other junk . I have done plenty of keto experiments - even taking the ketomojo up to the max ketone reading. It works for weight loss - great. But the skill is to devise a long term diet that is "right" (for you). These days I don't bother with chasing high ketone numbers, it's completely pointless sustained/sustainable weight loss. I go into ketosis by accident almost every day. Weight is falling regardless of being in or out. Weight loss rate: 1.5 kg per week for June. Which is pretty much like rates under a whacko fad high ketone diet regime. Remember: it is not about the stuff you eat - it is all about the stuff you don't eat :)
Oxalates are very high in some of the foods you’ve mentioned and can cause pain and other symptoms for many on a Keto and Carnivore Diet… Sally K Norton’s book is very helpful on this
I opened my very first can of sardines this week because of you, Dr. Boz 😄 and i was pleasantly surprised!! I am working on making those changes and holding myself accountable. Your videos give me strength to break generational chains and bad habits. Thank you again 😃
I make crustless quiche in small cast iron pans all the time. Bacon with broccoli or spinach sauteed, then mix 3 eggs, heavy cream, cheddar or swiss cheese with a splash or hot sauce and nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste. Mix all together in cast iron and put in oven for 20 minutes at 350F. get creative with the proteins and vegetable combinations you like, paired with cheese that compliments. Enjoy. I do the same with Chaffles, like Chicken Parm chaffles.
On a fairly large piece of foil take 8oz of grass fed ground beef, put it on a bed of cauliflower pieces, nice slab of butter on top. To enhance the beef, mix with T Worcestershire, t cumin, garlic power, onion powder, smoked paprika, a bunch of diced onion and some S and P. Wrap tight in foil and two choices: Instant Pot for 16 min on high with quick release or oven on 350 for an hour or so. This produces a lot of juices and it's awesome with the cauliflower. I put hot sauce on the finished product. I like to eat it with homemade coleslaw made with full fat yogurt and spices. Very satisfying when hungry.
this actually sounds pretty good to my taste. thanks! the only yogurt we eat any more is the organic full fat greek yogurt. may be what you meant? I want to try your recipe!
This may sound crazy, but I literally discovered that I was on a Keto diet. I did not start one. When my A1C rated my average sugar over 300 and my evening test that night was 419, I decided to do something. The VA Pharmacist insisted I needed to go on insulin right away, I refused. I accepted the Metformin, and I took it regular for about a week or two. I bought a meter from Walmart and lots of test strips. I tested everything I ate. I discovered what raised my sugars and gave it away. I try to eat what keeps my sugars down. I started looking for diabetic recipes and found foods that were better than others. I found a video on Keto and was surprised to see that in my reduction of carbs, I had basically found myself eating much of the Keto type foods. What is great about this discovery was that I learned what Keto was, and that I could eat Keto Ice Cream :) And I could have bread again, but at a horrendous cost on my tiny budget. After seeing what Keto is and what Carnivore is, I think I'm kind of "KetoVore". I have days I don't mind eating only meat, fish, poultry or egg, but I still love my salads and other veggies. Ham egg and cheese sandwiches are great on net-zero bread. What I am finding is that Keto/Carnivore seems to be rather expensive if I want any variety. I eat a lot of canned meats and frozen vegetables, I have a small fridge, but even still, fresh veggies go bad before I can eat them. Buying in bulk doesn't save me money and buying smaller packages costs as much as a Wendy's salad. I just get a little more. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of this video.... Thank you.
I’ve been watching your videos and you are quite the educator and motivator. On March 8 I weighed 180 lbs. (male 71 years old, 5’7”). My glucose was consistently over 100. For years I was told I had metabolic syndrome. Loose weight I was told. I recently was diagnosed with coronary artery disease. So on March 8 I went cold turkey by cutting out carbs. No more bakery sweets, bread, pasta, potatoes. I don’t follow any “keto” diet. But I am a good cook so I continued to make all my favorite dishes and especially cream sauces. I also started to eat avocados in my escarole salad. I add leftover chicken, or salmon if I have it. I use salt pepper and Italian seasoning with light olive oil ( no more canola oil) and vinegar. Veggies also include Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, and asparagus. In addition to chicken and salmon I eat steak, ribs, pork steak. Most mornings I eat bacon and eggs. Today is June 6 and I’ve lost 10 lbs and my fasting glucose is at 91. I test my morning ketones with a test strip and I’m excreting ketones. So for me this life style is working. And the best part is I don’t feel like I’m punishing myself. No more cravings and waking up in the middle of the night to eat peanut butter and jelly on ritz crackers or worse donuts. (Damn I’d love to have a donut with milk right now) 😀 . Another 10 lbs is my goal. I really think I can do it. Update August 31: Lost another 10 lbs! Had blood work done. Glucose still at 91. Insulin at 4 (my first test for this). What surprised me was my lipid results. 4 out of 6 results were way up from pre diet results, which were all in the normal range! From my research this is expected. I’m not sure if Dr. Boz has ever discussed lipid chemistry as a result of reducing carbs.
Keep it up. It's life changing, but keep learning. Btw....I was educated at an olive oil and vinegar store that there is no such thing as "light" olive oil. It's garbage they say.
Great job.. Congratulations you did it.. and it appears you didn’t deprive yourself.. did you stop drinking water at a certain time? Or did you awaken at nite for restroom breaks? Thanks, Leilani 🌺
My cheat-treat is berries and whipped cream. I take my Whipped Cream Dispenser with nitrous oxide cartridges, add pint of heavy cream along with squirt of liquid Monkfruit for a home-made carb-free whipped cream.
Thank you Dr. Boz. I am 63 and take zero prescribed drugs. I just had a blood panel taken by my doctor. I got a call the nest morning saying my LDL was elevated and he wanted to put me on a statin drug to lower it. I declined and want to address it through diet and exercise. I had been eating 2 pickled eggs every morning for the past 18 months and thought that was the culprit. After watching a few of your videos, I see that eggs are very good. I've been off of them for 6 weeks while eating steel cut oatmeal every morning instead, bad move, huh? I'm back on the pickled eggs starting tomorrow.
I did this and donated the unopened, unexpired items to a local food bank. Items that were opened but still good I gave to my neighbor who doesn't care about nutrition. It was high quality stuff, mind you.
Love bussell sprouts and spinach, meat and butter …..I’ve cut cereals ……but boy ,bread is a hard one I’ve cut back …. But fall short of actual keto …..but I’m getting there ❤
Same I lived on 🥖 🍞 🥯 & find I miss it but mostly because you put anything between it for a quick meal 🥪 Came across oopsie/ cloud bread keto friendly so going to be making this.
This will only work if all family members agree. I would be devastated if my husband chose a diet, threw away my Keto foods, and said, "We will eat what I think we should!" BUT if you live alone ...or your doing Keto as family...GO FOR IT!! HuGs, The Keto Nan...
I agree. I think it’s a lot like alcohol addiction. You have to develop the awareness, habits and the fortitude to resist the foods that don’t work. Carbs are everywhere. Within 5 minutes of my home are a dozen fast food drive-thrus, pizza and Chinese take out, drug stores and gas stations for candy and other junk food and sugar drinks. I can pick up my phone and have a thousand grams of carbohydrate delivered to me. Making this diet work means I have to eat properly so that I’m not hungry and learning to tell myself “no!”.
My hubby still eats carbs - just finished off a peanut butter and honey sandwich dipped in a glass of milk! 😁 Weekend fun for him is take out pizza and a gallon of chocolate ice cream. I eat his BBQ flank steak in a marinade with a touch of molasses. If we are out, he willingly drives to wherever I need for food in addition to where he wants to eat. He accepts a lot of keto-ish alternatives at home and a lot of carnivore meals, but I'm not his mother and he's not in charge of me. I am a sugar-holic and am completely responsible for everything that goes in my mouth.
Right now is Greek Orthodox great Lent. No animal product allowed for six weeks, about. And here I just started carnivore. He is lent fasting, I am carnivore. Exactly the opposite. Lol Jack sprat could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean. And so between the two of them they licked the platter cleano
I’m the only one in my household eating keto. I sectioned off “my” portion of the fridge and they use the rest of the fridge. But upon seeing the positive changes in me since switching to keto, my husband has been slowly gaining interest in it.
@@redsteedproperties2405 yes, I separate my foods from everyone else. I have closed cupboards and open shelves...my stuff is open shelves! Out of sight, out of mind.
Veggies are so delicious sautéed in butter or creamed in real cream. 😋. Of course, Topped w meat.. Kerry Gold Aged Cheddar from Costco is so yummy. It is delicious on cold,, crunchy red bell pepper and cucumbers. Does anyone else worry about nitrates in bacon and other processed meat? We try to avoid them along w artificial sweeteners.
im in keto for almost 6 years now, i do have similar comfort food, frozen strawberries (6 to 8 large) with stevia ( is the only one i can have without having discomfort ) heavy cream on a blender and it is delicious as icecream, i when down from 123kg to 94kg and i still in the 94 after 6 years
I love ALL YOUR ADVICE!! I AM A LIFE-LONG BAKER... 🥺. but I emptied out my cupboards and MADE the change in 2018. Lost 35 pounds... then my husband lost 75! But we got derailed after a while because of other people's problems. So 2022 is our RESET. I SAW your video a couple years ago on how you derived the Dr. Boz ratio and I said, "This gal is a GENIUS!". There's a Nobel prize 🏆 waiting for you...
@@sl4983 well, I try to KETOFY all my recipes. Today I ate two seed crackers (8 net carbs), with a Tbs of cream cheese an avocado, and a can of smoked oysters in water, so I added some evoo, ate this with cole slaw I made with my own mayonnaise and chopped vegetables. Dinner was KETO Chile rellenos and sour cream. I'm just estimating that was 20 carbs...🙄... I haven't gotten back on the wagon completely, though... But I just got the DrBoz work book and expect the other two books soon. I've signed up for a support group and just got my own BP cuff. Then there's the other monitor... It's all part of the 2022 RESET. So much to know!!
@@debrahurtado5491 Debra it sounds like you’ve put a lot of effort and thought into your plan. I hope it’s working well for you. I love the ideas you presented.!
I stopped baking bread and brownies . 😢 eliminated all flours and sugars . this eliminated almost all my symptoms. most FIBRO pain is gone. worth the trade off .
I lost 100 lbs eating the carnivore way. I'm going to die a happy man knowing my favorite meal of my lifetime is my fountain of youth. I've eaten meat and eggs 1000s of times but also loads of carbs. A little over a year ago I gave up 90% of the carbs and lost 14" of my waistline. It's the perfect menu for a meat eater. Simple and easy to prepare. I do indulge in a 12oz. bag of trail mix once or twice a week. I get some nuts and seeds in me along with the m&m's. I guess that's a comfort food but the nuts and seeds are a good thing.
I'm followed by 2 docs specialized in Keto and they always say: "Do NOT BUY KETO'S POWDER AND PRODUCTS LIKE THAT" Keto is about cooking and learning what you should eat and when and I so much agree with that !!!
That works in the metabilic health is not awful .. but I have patients with 20-40 years of poor metabilic health. I use blood pressure meds to help them until they loose the weight Similarly, I use ketones to decrease the time it takes to get ketones flowing out of their liver’s mitochondria. Supplemental ketones are not forever. They get back o to KETOSIS the fastest & they progress toward optimal metabilic health without stalling or falling off the wagon for weeks.
I love sausage and sautéed cabbage together and I often add shrimp to the mixture. I cook that with bacon grease 8:31 and salt and it is delish!!! Gonna go to the store now and get some cabbage!
I got the Cronometer app that she recommends. I upgraded to the gold on it. I was shocked to find out what had carbs in it. I have 2 16oz coffees in the morning. 14oz of coffee and 2 oz of cream. That 7.2 carbs. 2 eggs--2.9 carbs. That half my carbs for the day. I love sardines so that was nice. One of my fav's right now is egg salad. Just by itself with pink salt. A small salad with lots of dressing. I can add ham or cheese and mushrooms. Canned pink salmon is cheaper than fresh. And I love it. I weigh everything I have scrambled eggs most days for lunch. Trying to ween myself from breakfast. I even have a scale on my desk so I can weigh my pork rinds that I eat. I'm not perfect. I did have fries once when we went out. And tortilla chip another time. I started the 18th of last month and today is the 18th. I'm down 11 pounds. I do a small workout everyday. Nothing to write home about but it is a routine now and I am increasing the weights slowly. Now I need to trim the calories down, and the protein. When I started I didn't want to be hungry so I ate however much I wanted. So this week I trimmed one egg off of breakfast. My late night salami is going away too when that bag is empty. I check my glucose and ketones every morning when I get up. I have consistently been above 1.5 ketones for a lil over a week now. The Dr Boz ratio still goes up and down though. My glucose is what is holding me up but I have hit the 40's and 50's a few times. Now I just need to get walking. Hang in there. It really is about finding what you like to eat I think. I don't like to search for keto friendly sweets either. Trying to get rid of wanting sweets. Not too big of deal for me but I know it is for others. You can do it. :) It was easier when I was younger. Now at 62 I know I have to.
Your carbs are off. That’s why I don’t bother with these lousy apps. 2 large eggs is 1.2 carbs. It is 6 carbs for a cup of hwc and coffee is 0 carbs for a qt.
Plain whole milk Greek yogurt. Blueberries, cherries, or raspberries, pecans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower, seeds, or walnuts and a tablespoon of lilies chocolate chip.
Thanks for the video! I find that using an online meal service works perfectly for me! I am single, never really liked to cook and I hate it when food goes to waste. I order 3 meals per week (6 servings). I can edit organic ingredients that are responsibly sourced. These meals have variety that holds my interest! I've tried new spices and the recipes are easy to prepare. I fry ALL of it in a pan to get more fat. After 6 months keto, my metabolic numbers are looking good and inflammation has dropped drastically. Now I'm reducing my eating window and working towards regular fasting.
Until you've had time to do your research and gotten in a lot of practice reading labels, avoid any packaged food that advertises itself as Keto or Keto Friendly. The major food corporations have jumped on to the Keto bandwagon, and some of the less scrupulous ones put out some products that are terrible for your health.
Can't give up blue cheese dressing- seed oils- I know. Will need to create my own. But hamburger on mixed greens with cooked onions drowned in blue cheese is heavenly satisfying.
@@elisamarro7356 1 C yogurt or sour cream. 1 finely crushed garlic clove. 1-2 Tbs red wine vinegar (depending on how sour you want it.) 1/4 tsp each Dill, Parsley, S & P. 1/2 C finely crumbled Bleu Cheese (or more... use as much or little as you like.). .😉 Mix together well.
My every day comfort used to be pasta. But it was such a meal time staple there was never any guilt. After removing pasta from my menu though after going keto, my comfort foods became heavy cream filled coffee and bacon.
I each homemade icecream every other day. Ice cream is my go to fat. Made entirely with cream, water, Allulose and egg yolks. Better than any premium ice creams on the market.
We grew up on finely chopped cabbage with a finely diced green onion, mixed with mayo, salt and pepper, a very simple cold slaw. It’s a mainstay of our diet now too. Been Keto for nearly four years.
Your videos on how to start keto is how it finally made sense to me. I had 3 failed attempts until you explained it. Since then my husband and I are down 50lbs, mood is better, and cravings are under control now.
Great video! Thank U for sharing your personal experience and tips! I find comfort and look forward to Heavy Cream with rasperries for a sweet tooth. I use heavy cream in coffee as a latte that I look forward to every day. I love Macadamia nuts a few every day, walnuts and pecans. I had to learn that cashews are A FRUIT! Yikes, stay away from certain nuts. I also learned certain nuts are high in phytos and are not advantageous. I love Garlic Salt on hardboiled eggs. I also love avacado oil salad dressing (with a little red vinegar). I had to forfeit Balsamic tho, ouch, I miss balsamic but it has too many carbs. Since I abhor fish and will absolutely not eat it, I take krill oil, cod liver oil supplements for Omega 3s and eat steak, turkey and plain ham. I am a huge asparagus fan with butter and garlic salt.
I was never a great veg eater but I'd heard that cruciferous vegetables were part of the solution to heal a fatty liver. I could just about bear broccoli or Brussel sprouts with my evening meals and I fry them in my meat fat, after blanching them. They're really tasty and make a huge difference.
Blanching, or parboiling, makes a huge difference in the flavor of many vegetables by washing away some of the strong flavors - all kinds of greens (spinach for 30 sec, kale for 3-5 min), broccoli, cauliflower. Drain well and then saute with butter and garlic or whatever. Or plunge into a large bowl of cold water to stop cooking. Drain well and then they can be stored in the refrigerator for a few hours or a few days.
@@gsts379 cut brussels in half (even the small frozen ones) slow roasting in animal fat or olive oil with garlic, cut side down, until nice and brown and crispy------ mellows the strong cabbagy flavor also---is my favorite way---YUM--but I only have as occasional treat since easy to over do---so delish
Here’s what I do to Brussel sprouts; cut them in half, put the on a baking pan (use parchment paper for easy cleanup), slice up bite size bell peppers OR Summer squash, then get out a pound of bacon. Cut the bacon in half and just use the half. Then cut the slab twice to get inch sized squares of bacon, lay these out over the veggies. Cook at 400 F for 20 minutes. Take pan out of oven and sprinkle fresh grated Parmesan on the masterpiece. Then cook an additional 10 minutes. The fat from the bacon goes into the veggies so you don’t need any oils or butter. You can sprinkle the veggie layer with hot paprika and minced or powdered onions or even curry powder and cracked pepper. My other fav is to use large sweet onions and Brussel sprouts as an alternative. Be creative! The parchment paper makes all the difference for easy cleanup.
I hear ya on that kale. I'm turned off by brussel sprouts and cooked spinach, too. I am diabetic and starches are a problem for me. I was surprised when you mentioned flour dust on the shredded cheese. I learned a few years ago sugar is the culprit, not fat. I try to eat small portions and two meals a day. Intermittent fasting helps keep my glucose down and I don't eat after 3 PM most days because I have acid reflux at night if I do. Great advice.
@@rebeccagreenwell3934 For real!!! I don't start feeling hungry until late. I'm a night eater. I'm happy to come across Dr. Boz, because the sardines help me tremendously! They satiate my appetite.
The only way I like brussel sprouts is cut in half, brush with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic and then bake until the tops start to brown, take out and dust with parmesan cheese. And even then I only eat a few at a time. If you boil or steam them they just taste like fart balls.
I live in a home where people do not want to follow the keto diet, but I am trying. Pasta, milk, and cold cereal are all around me, though I have discovered some low-carb pasta that I use in my cooking. Sometimes someone in the house will ask, "Is that all there is for dinner?" because I only cook meat. I always say "yes," and I am not asked as frequently these days. We are all accustomed to eating a lot of processed foods three times a day. Being good has been difficult since I made the change. It is similar to working in a bar as an alcoholic.
Breakfast: Walmart antioxidant blend fruit, sprinkle of no carb Pumpkin Pie spice, sprinkle of nutritional yeast, 1 or 2 table spoons flax seed whole, 1 or 2 table spoons of chia seeds, 1 table spoon lilly keto dark chocolate chips, 3 heaping table spoons of the Choboni Whole Milk Greek Yogurt, stir all together then top with Nu Trail Keto Granola.
She’s the best! I’ve read her books. They saved my life. There’s too much stuff out on the Internet from too many different people. That’s not sequential not organize not plan not structured. I’m hoping you can put your videos in a sequential order like your book it would be so helpful but the ones you have now aren’t very very good.
I think my comfort food is ranch dressing. I not only use it in salads but to dip meats into. I make it from homemade avacado mayo, whole milk, and hidden valley ranch seasoning one day ill make it fully from scratch
I did Keto a few years ago and what I learned was not only did I lose weight almost all of my aches and pains disappeared. I’m going to start again not because I want to lose weight which I can lose a few but to get rid of the aches and pains. Honestly for me it’s the pain that I want to get rid of more than the weight
For those craving sweet: blend one avocado, 2 glasses of coconut oil, stevia and ice. You can freeze it and eat like a icecream if you want, or just drink it. SWEETOOTH
Instead of throwing away your non-keto food items, give them to a friend or neighbor if they are unopened and within date. Wasting good food is a sin and there will be someone who isn't on keto who can use it.
I started a veggie patch in August 2021, lots of mistakes. kale (2 types), herbs (lots) and other stuff. Growing some trees as well. I only eat the fruit I grow. Cauliflower mash is great with liver.
I know it is considered 'dirty keto' but my favorite dessert is very cold heavy whipping cream with either sugar free pudding or jello. Whipped for about 2 minutes turns into almost like ice cream when completely chilled and you get the flavors you want.
Is funny--I have keto ice cream in my freezer right now for a special treat tonight--made this morning with heavy whipping cream, whipped a little bit with sugar free pistachio. I don't do this very often because I need to stay away from any "sweet" flavor and too much cream stalls my weight loss. So I only made a half cup serving . I don't dare make extra to keep in freezer because I know myself. I make very occasional treats like this in one serving amount so I don't overdo. I will eventually wean myself off completely but I find knowing I can have a treat occasionally keeps me going mentally. When I find something that is especially delicious without any fake sweetner/carbs---I choose to not make it often so that those will eventually become my "treats"--like anything cheesy (which slows my weight loss).
I’ve use Crystal Light as a flavoring in unflavored yogurt, cottage cheese …mix that with a bit of regular mayo…num! I like using the strawberry lemonade Crystal Light because it gives that tiny bit of lemon burst of strawberry cheesecake.
My go to meal when I don't have time to cook before work is a vanilla shake. I use almond milk, heavy cream, eggs, pure vanilla extract (no sugar, which will make it expensive), and powdered stevia extract. It's basically melted ice cream.
I grew up with my Italian grandparents. Pasta is my comfort food. I make my own lasagna noodles from scratch. I no longer have it in the house. I used to substitute with spaghetti squash and zucchini noodles but I have moved beyond that. We have developed a list of about 15 meals that can be carnivore but usually add a little vegetable. We just rotate around that list to avoid boredom. My wife's favorite meal is breakfast but we skip that now. Sometimes we'll have breakfast for dinner. That consists of bacon and scrambled eggs or hamburger patty with fried eggs. Most of the time we are OMAD. If we can't make it until dinner we might have a small meal around 2 or 3 pm. Usually some combination of pork rinds, cream cheese, sardines, salami, and/or butter. I like to take thin sliced salami, spread it with butter and roll it up. Sometimes I'll add a thin stick of parmesan.
I come from a Italian family myself…pasta was my comfort food, Sundays at my nonna’s house were epic…tons of cheeses, salame, bread and her delicious pasta with tons of meat and octopus! Now my comfort food is salami, parmesano and butter! Bacon is our favorite keto food!
my mother was Italian. I have a pasta drawer- spaghetti,tagliatelle,farfalle, ditalini,conchiglie,spirilli,lasagne,etc. And I don't even eat that much pasta these days. Well I guess i won't be eating any pasta in the near future :(
@ 4:25 on your video you mentioned that you didn't like kale that it tasted awful to you. My Daughter makes kale chips by using olive oil on the kale leaves and putting them in the oven till they are crispy and then salting them. They are actually pretty good that way.
My granddaughter has loved Kale chips from when she was 2 years old. She likes lots of strong flavors and isn't much for sweets. I am a veggie lover. I have tried keto a number of times and I just miss my veggies so much. Nothing more comforting than carrots, sweet potatoes or ANY veggie. I am doing okay now...and losing weight by limiting my high carb veggies. Might try a sardine challenge. I love kippers.
I got the Audio book Keto Continuum and listened to it when it first came out and am thinking I might should also get the paperback book to go along with the workbook I have. Anyway I'm fixing to open up the program and start it "again" and this time I've a little more encouragement at home except there will probably always be the carbs close by. My other half has to have them no matter what. Oh well the bottom line is it's up to me to put on my big boy pants and buckle down and do this because I want to and I can. I had to get holiday's and birthday's done with for awhile and now it's time to turn on. Test run has been done and I've got necessary device's and Sola water made and I'm ready. I'll be in contact through the program. I'm so glad you made this program. Thanks doc.
I love chicken breast, chopped up, with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika powder and loads of chopped and crushed garlic. I leave it to soak for a little while, then in a pan with butter I fry it. So delicious. Onions and mushrooms, also in butter, then add water and cream cheese and cook it for a couple of minutes. With broccoli and cauliflowers boiled and then tossed in butter with a nice sprinkling of salt. My favourite meal. Soo damn tasty!
Great video. I've rediscovered cabbage ! Sliced and stir fried with ground pork, rosemary, basil, garlic. Add an egg and it's breakfast. Definately going to try the avocado choc ice cream :)

My Uncle back in Jamaica grew all his own food. The only meat he ate was sardines or one of the chickens if he could catch one! His diet was not really Keto as a lot of ground provisions (yams, potatoes, etc) have too many carbs. However, I think most agree that carbs from a natural source rather than carbs from processed foods are handled differently by the body. What can be said is his diet for sure was as natural (unprocessed foods) as you can get, he has never bought so much as a pound of sugar. Between his diet and the exercise he got from planting and tending to it all himself he lived to be 106 years old. Sadly he passed away last year. BUT - Here's the thing. He lived alone until after he turned 105 years old. We provided his meals only because we were afraid of him using a stove which he did until he was 104 years old. He took his own showers and dressed himself. He liked to take his radio outside and sit on his front porch. He'd greet any visitor by name even if he hadn't seen them for 20-30 years. He could tell you stories of things that happened when he was a boy 5-6 years old. And in case you forgot, he can tell you things you were doing when you were 5-6 years old. I know this story is not really promoting a Keto diet, but I think the point is that if you can have a diet that eliminates all these sugary processed foods, you're likely to have real health benefits.
What a lovely story ❤️ Thank you for sharing about your Uncle. I enjoyed hearing about him.
Yes, very clean healthy food he eats and very organic indeed. Too high fats and meat are very very TOXIC to our human' blood! TQ for sharing ❤
Your story promotes why most of us are adopting keto - our insulin is out of whack and it’s mostly due to our consuming sugar and highly processed foods. Had we eaten like your uncle, keto (and intermittent fasting) would never have become popular.
I’m reading Robert Lustig’s Metabolical - I highly recommend. Insulin is the problem. Most of us look at insulin as the fat storage hormone. But it also ruins your health. Being fat doesn’t make you ill. The high levels of insulin that made you fat, makes you will.
This is an amazing 👏 story no GMOs there
Carbs are carbs
Been on keto almost 1 year!lost 37 lbs 175 lbs and 60 years old .it was a gradual transition, gave up potato chips cold turkey . We didn’t throw out All the bad food but didn’t buy anymore . 2 meals a day and no food after 530 pm . Big salad every night extra virgin olive oil. Eggs bacon most mornings coffee with heavy whipping cream and cacao and cinnamon in a blender so delicious it’s like a latte .my wife has lost 30 lbs too! So much easier when you do keto diet together .
What else did you have for Breakfast or Lunch
Congratulations!! 7 months for us and I have lost 36 pounds. My husband less so but he had less to lose and he loves the meat, fish and eggs I prepare daily. We use our air fryer for most meats, including pork tenderloin. We love salmon salad made with canned salmon, Mayo and pickles or olives.
Eggs bacon with coffee and cream??? Yikes!!
I love fried cabbage with bacon, hamburger, jalapeno, onion, salt, pepper, and chipotle chile powder. Wow!
Take a hard boiled egg, cut in half, add mayo and mustard, S and P, top with a sardine. Fast and easy snack/meal.
Make butter Mayo to use instead of processed Mayo
@@gretchendavis8974 how do you make it?
That sounds so good! I’m going to make that.
Not sweet. Not a snack. 😡
@@SyriusStarMultimedia what?
At 2:25, please read the ingredients on those yellow or green plastic lemons and limes. Unsavory and down-right dangerous ingredients. It's better to buy the fruit, expel the juice and freeze in a BPA, etc. free freezer bag.
Agree, also, you can squeeze them into an ice cube tray to have with water. No waste and very little space.
There are some types that have no preservatives and are straight up juice and oil from the peels.
I keep some True Lemon crystals on hand. Pure lemon juice crystals in little packets.
What is it that you think is so dangerous?
Sometimes I wonder if she even does keto. She basically got into social media to make money when she became a felon and lost her MD license
FOLLOW UP .. I cut carbs on 18 march 2023. The first week was HORRIBLE..!! After that it became easy. I also started walk every day around 10.000 to 13.000 steps. Besides I do intermittent fasting. I lost 7.8 kg 😁. More natural fats I eat, the more fresh I feel ..! I did various of diet before and I failed..! Because I kept feeling hungry..! Adding carbs to my diet keeps me hungry and want more food..! KETO diet helps me lose weight with no hunger..! Now I feel full some times I forget to eat..! But because I am walking I eat to get strength 😁
** today is 9 may 2023, my total kg I had lost is 10 kg 😍. My daily steps increased up to 15.000 steps per day.
That's amazing bro... + Encouraging!
Wow thats awesome 👍😀
OK, I have to admit I had to convert kilograms to pounds. 22 pounds in less than two months is impressive as hell! I hope you were still eating low-carb and getting the steps in keep going, you will make your life so much better.!
Best things you can do for yourself! Feel better, huh?---I do intermittent fasting (usually 16fast /8eat (brunch and dinner)) and ketovore. I have balance/neurologic issues from having had depleted B12 (dr. never told me I needed to take B12 while on metformin--he never even tested my B12 when I had symptoms, neurologist found it). So I don't walk too much right now. I am NEVER hangry. Am Type II diabetic , have lost 25 lbs in 3 mos and reduced A1c blood glucose to non-diabetic level=5.6. This is the ONLY way I have EVER controlled my blood sugar--EVER.
We don't do Kg how many pounds did you lose?
Ketogenic to beat cancers since 1986 ! No regrets never went high high fat but some days I eat more somedays less it’s hard to hit the protein when your not hungry. But more and more I definitely have got the perfect balance of just fat and protein and never had any issues w all the thing’s during later life I think it’s because I started ketogenic life way back when made the transition easier for me closer today to more carnivorous as Dr Baker does he raised his fats to help his neck.. and yes I love this morning shift because I have always had the Dawn effect. So it definitely is brilliant! Love you Dr Boz and love sharing your thoughts and knowledge with the troops here at Camp Lejeune health and wellness! ❤❤❤❤
Pork rids for that crunch effect. Use as crackers, croutons, breading, chips..even put sardines on top!
Try doing this wife a wife who absolutely will not change her eating habits.
I will be 74 in October. I am in my 53rd week of mainly a Carnivore Diet. (There have been a total of 30-45 days when strict carnivore did not occur.) As of this a.m., I have lost 60 pounds. (I started 8-7-23 at 296.8 and I am now at 236.8). My A1c has gone from 6.4 to 5.4-5.6. Over the last 60 days, I have plateaued, but 2 weeks ago, I recommitted to strictly carnivore and I have started loosing weight again. This week, as an example, 4.2 pounds.
I am basically on the Beef/Bacon/Butter/Egg diet, but I do have chicken, pork, and fish (tuna steaks and shrimp) on occasion. I also eat some cheese, with Hamburger or with scrambled eggs. I basically eat bacon & eggs 7 days a week for Breakfast and Steak/Meat 7 days a week for dinner. Most days my first meal is after 12:00 noon, when I return from the gym. (3 days a week.) On my off days from the Gym, I usually eat my first meal around 11-11:30. My last meal of the day is usually eaten between 8:00-8:30 pm.
While I am not "You Tube Star" rich, I do spend what I want on meats, and you would think that you might tire of Ribeyes...but SURPRISE...not me. I do not always buy Angus and boneless quality but I do 1/2 and 1/2. I also like Grass Feed and you can taste a difference. I use a lot of the recipes from Laura Spath, which I find on her You Tube Channel.
I cook my steaks in an a Ninja Air Fryer usually, and occasionally on my Blackstone. The only spices I use are Salt Pepper Garlic in a shaker from Blackstone. I also use White Pepper and Redman Salt. I will occasionally make a ketchup/yellow mustard/mayo mix for my burgers...or use grilled onions on my burgers...always with 1/2 slice of American Cheese on each.
The only other non-carnivore foods I eat sometimes are chopped up red, yellow, green, orange bell peppers, mixed together and with onion added. I keep a giant gallon bag of these frozen in my freezer and will occasionally add them to my scrambled eggs. I use very little dairy, but do add @ 1 oz. Heavy Whipping creme to scrambled eggs.
I tried the Keto Diet, and some of the foods are good, especially those with cabbage, but I am not into most vegetables, especially the ones Keto "allows." I miss my potatoes, yams, some rice, and pasta, but I would rather do without than eat the veggies that Keto recommends, most of which I have never included in my diet, a regular basis.eaten.
When I looked at Dr. Boz's Free Spreadsheet, I knew immediately, there was no way I was going to track all that material, just to eat my meals daily. I like her attitude and her videos, but I am not a statistician.
On the carnivore diet, it's easy. Eat Meat. Live Long. Live Well. If you have to...eat a Pizza or Jersey Mike's Philly Cheese Steak sandwich 3-4 times a year. I have tried the Keto Buns and Bread from Nature's Own. Not bad tasting and very low Carb. (1-2 net carbs a piece, I believe.) There are also flour tortilla's from La Bandarita and Mission, (I prefer the La Bandarita,) than have 0-4 net carbs, depending on the size of the tortilla. They can be filled with carnivore foods, add cheese, and browned in butter. Love 'em.
On the carnivore diet I rarely have gas or burp. On the American Standard Crap Diet, it was a problem. Once you are off the sugar, carbs, and typical American Crap Diet, your system will actually rebel against you if you "cheat." It is absolutely unmistakable.
First year down, 60 pounds gone, 87 more pounds to reach my goal weight...150 lbs, what I weighed the I got home from Viet Nam in 1970.
Good Health to one and all.
Awesome! That’s great! My husband has not been won over by increasing his fat intake but he does eat more meat which is excellent! I started carnivore 11/2022 and I follow Paul saladino’s with some fruit and honey here and there. But I do great with 95% meat based. My energy has significantly improved, I’m stronger than I was and the last 2-3 years of my life I have felt so good. Since j was around age 5, for 30 years I always felt sick. Eating fruit, eating veggies, we ate predominantly vegetarian at home and then ate seafood at restaurants. If I never ate beans again, which I don’t and i feel great!
I also rarely have gas & burps are rare.
Eating cruciferous vegetables gives me IBS symptoms, terrible bloating, so I rarely eat them now. It’s not worth it for me to loose an evening feeling sick in bed because of vegetables. And now that I don’t eat processed foods & I quit coffee & caffeine foods. I rarely get headaches.
Life is definitely better. I had to hide the fact I had digestive problems for years and I always had constipation.
Glad you’re having such the best with a carnivorous way of eating.
@@sweetgrl4JC🎉glad you’re feeling better 😊

Please Dr Boz. Stop the music when you are talking. Thank you for your most important info doing keto.

Same here. I cannot skit my family to stop eating ultra processed foods and just junk in general. They think it's all conspiracy theory stuff
@@Fauxkerykes tons of pills are not giving your body anything it was lacking. Your body doesn't lack metformin it doesn't lack aspirin it doesn't lack any of those other pills. If you get yourself healthy and stay healthy they are going to start noticing you're the only healthy one that's not on meds, that has energy, that looks great. So don't give up and set a good example for your family
my daughter is the same way. I really wish she would get onto a healthy diet ASAP. In the meantime I'm trying to set a good example for her. I sent her Dr. Boz and other videos - Occasionally - I don't want to nag because then she'll completely ignore me.

I typically try not to post negative comments, but I believe people should be aware that the darling of the keto world (and most other diets), spinach, is one of the highest oxalate foods there are. Oxalate can cause body-wide problems for a large majority of people. It not only affects us physically, but mentally (depression, anxiety, brain fog). Look up Sally Norton for information on oxalate before choosing veggies.
That’s what I thought too.
I read that boiling spinach for a couple minutes significantly reduces the amount of oxalates without degrading the nutrients.
@@ezrawest6043 you have to be sure to discard the cooking water.
Spinach is the darling of Vegetarians. Very Different. Keto does use some vegs, but not spin especially.
@@ezrawest6043 If you boil spinach it all but disappears!
Love being able to eat bacon, steak,pork,chicken,eggs, cheese, along with the fat without feeling guilting. Wow!! Cooking has become so simple and less time and so satisfying. It's a Winner all the way around. So glad my mom shared yr info with me. Our family have been sharing yr info and bought yr books. We are all on a very Healthy lifestyle now. I just wished we had known about Keto before my daughter Tonya(died from b cancer at age 33) she may have survived. Buty other daughter going through the same n cancer and now she has the info from you. She's a survivor! Love you bunches Dr Boz
My condolences to you in the loss of Tonya.😢. Thank God that your live daughter survived.😊.
🫂 this is how I feel about My Mother.. if only I had known about this Dr & her channel & video & other priceless info like this before her death. 🖤
I was very angry at the American Diabetes Association and the Food Pyramid (I just ignore them now). My mother died at age 64 with almost every complication from Type II diabetes, including multiple amputations. She did what they told her to do. Ate their approved foods, believed their lies. My grandmother who was used to eating a pretty much low carb all her life also became diabetic at an older age and died in her sleep at 84 with no complications. I was following in my mother's footsteps until I learned about low carb, then keto, and carnivore. My highest A1c was 8.9 and this week is 5.6! Down 25 lbs so far. I am almost my mother's age when she died. Not only did she die young but the suffering she had for 30 years with complications. But you know what, I cannot keep "should-ing " on myself or "if only, if only"--------cannot look back. Learn from the past but keep your eyes on today and the future. All my best wishes to you and your family.
@chickadeetle So four months later how are you doing?
Sorry about your mom.
We've certainly been sold a pack of lies by the government.
I'm preaching the keto/carnivore lifestyle to anyone who will listen.
I had the beginnings of rheumatoid arthritis in my hands. It's gone. I feel so wonderful. 10 lbs from my ideal weight!
Clean seeds out of Jalapeños then stuff
with cream cheese, wrap with bacon,
inserting toothpicks to keep bacon attached.
Fry in avocado oil or bake in oven or grill them.
Yes...or air fryer!
Awesome, I also add leftover brisket or pulled pork from our favorite BBQ joint to the cream cheese and throw them in the smoker!
Gotta leave a few seeds, it gives them a bite.
Or, just leave the seeds in. Bake them with a pound of diced bacon on top. The seeds are less “potent” when cooked. Sprinkle mozzarella on top and brown. Good stuff! We have lost hundreds of pounds in my house eating this way.
Love all your ideas!
Heavy whipping cream add cocoa and the sweetener of your choice. Blend all together until you have a mousse!! Thank me later... You can also add peanut butter... Mmmmm
"sweetener"? So eliminating carbs isn't on your diet plan.
"Saturated fats are the ones that are hard at room temperature" Perhaps the most useful information I have ever heard.
I have four children and a wife and non of them do Keto, The first six months was difficult but now two years in it is just part of life. My comfort food is mixed fruits with lots of cream.
Perhaps it can be managed, assuming you are aware that there's nothing keto about mixed fruit. Berries might work, fairly well.
@@EricAdamsonMI depends. If your trying to lose weight possible no but I had a cont glucose moniter eatin WHOLE fruit with whole milk greek yogurt or by itself, after a meal during the day when Im moving. I ate a 16 oz bowl of cherries and my sugar spiked like 15 point. gloucose goddess plus DR berg. when you get to you ideal weight and your no long craving sugar and no spikes. My cheat will be a tequila, fruit, sushi. SOMETIMES a cheat meal is ok, a cheat DAY will land you 15 pounds heavier. SO beware of holiday mindset
Yes you can't really strip tue cupboards like she says unless you live alone
my favorite breakfast is scrambled eggs with cream cheese and bacon
How much cream cheese do you add?
My comfort food is heavy whipping cream, with a few chopped strawberries blended together with cinnamon, stevia and a small dash of vanilla essence. This is a nice filling cream with a few strawberries! This is a fruit with much fewer carbs than others.
Yum!
if you do a lot of cream everyday it can put weight back on you. Unless you are getting a lot of exercise. Not saying don't use heavy cream just watch the amount you are using and maybe not everyday as a dessert.
@@cactusladysouth1000 I’ve become less regular with that type of dessert now and have switched to 0 sugar yogurt with similar ingredients. Have lost 3 kg in the last year after losing 12 kg in the years before on keto.
All the heavy cream around here has carrageenan, have to drive pretty far to get to a dairy farm.
Sounds good but I would whip the cream with the strawberries in it and eat it as ice cream.
Ribeye. Nothing comforts like a fat-laden 12-ouncer salted down and set out in the refrigerator for 24 hours, then heated in the oven at low temperature until the middle is 120°, and then seared for 45 seconds on each side in a 500° cast-iron pan. Oh yeah, we’re talking comfort.
About how long does it take until the middle is at 120? I know all ovens are different and you could only give me your result. I just need an idea. I'm seriously thinking I need to buy some probes for my meats, which I've never used before. Can you suggest a good one?
What time is dinner?😃
@@deboraheubanksrafferty Buy a food thermometer to take the internal temperature. Taylor is a good brand. It has a little "dimple" at the tip to record temp. To make make sure it's accurate, (especially if you drop it)plunge in a cup of ice water and it should go down to 32F. You can also do the hot water method by placing it in a cup of boiling water. It should go up to 212F. If the temperature is off recalibrate. See instructions how to do that.
@@deboraheubanksrafferty If you ever cook with a temp probe you'll feel stupid if try to go back. It's essential for cooking.
Meatballs with cheese sauce (heavy cream, butter, cream cheese, cheddar cheese & blue cheese) OMG delicious & comforting!
I have to limit tomato ingestion, so that sauce would be wonderful for meatballs!! Rough idea of proportions?!
@@judymiller5154I plan to google Keto cheese sauce recipe. Maybe we will find this one or another good recipe.
Coat shrimp with egg yellows dipped in nutritional yeast and fry in your favorite fat until crisp, tastes like "tempura shrimp". Dip in yellow curry mayonnaise!!
I noticed that you often speak from personal experience in your videos. The combination of science and your life have helped me so much. I am learning from you that being wrong about something isn't a reflection on my character. It just means that I did not have all of the information I needed.
I started my Keto journey by reading "Anyway You Can". In addition to reversing diabetes and high blood pressure, I am finding relief from the night terrors that have plagued me since childhood as well as relief from chronic PTSD and depression that I have struggled with since my late twenties. Thank you for the gifts of your wisdom and experience.
Hold up. It helped with PTSD?! I’ve had PTSD for 30 years and it’s still hard to go places alone; I’m hyper vigilant the entire time and exhausted when I get back home. I’m even hyper vigilant just being outside on my own property. If this diet can help fix that mess, I’ll do it just for that reason alone! 🙏🙏
Wow. Your story makes me emotional. It is a common story on this “channel” … but it never stops effecting me.
@@gypsypath1 - I recently had a genetic test and found out that I have a genetic switch that makes it difficult to absorb B6 and B12. I think this might account for the long history of mental illness, alcohol dependency, and diabetes in my family.
I started on a methylated B supplement three months ago and it has really helped.
@@gypsypath1 I struggled with chronic depression and bouts of anxiety most of my life until I basically removed all sugars, grains, starches, alcohol, seed oils and most fruit.

I take grated mozzarella and cheddar cheese sprinkle garlic powder and mix with an egg and form it into a circle on parchment paper and then bake. It tastes like cheesy bread.
Great tip! Thanks.
What oven temperature?
350 degrees
@@lhargerful For how long?
my favourite is actually a drink not a food, take 3 eggs and whisk then add the equivalent of 1 table spoon of sugar of your preferred keto friendly artificial sweetener and 1 table spoon of cocoa powder. Whisk again and while whisking add 300ml of heavy cream. congratulations you now have keto milkshake? eggnog? chocnog? something tasty :D
Best tip for evening meal with sardines.
Drain oil from 2 cans or 3 😁. Pop into a frying pan (no oil required) then add smoked paprika, garlic granules and chilli..keep tossing them occasionally to get them super crispy
..serve on a big handful of salad/microgreen leaves and a few walnuts pieces.
Splash over with lemon juice (or lime ) and a good pour of EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil).
Super tasty 😋😋😋
what brand of sardines? The one I opened had fin pieces and what looked like veins or entrails mixed in---are all brands like this? Made me gag.
Edit to add: "chopped pickles" not cooked.
I tried to edit my previous comment, but for some reason, YT is acting weird and won't let me make changes!😢
@chickadeetle I'm in the UK, just got the Aldi homebrand ones..They're all cooked, so that you can eat them cold if required 😋
My regime:
1. Almost zero processed foods.
2. No alcohol.
3. Minimal carbs, but no silly obsessions.
4. Moderate exercise.
5. I seem to be tending towards one meal a day (not a goal, just where I seem to be ending up). Note: there is no science around the restricted eating window thing, other than that it naturally tends to force a calorie deficit.
6. (And most important....) I select whole foods from which I can make tasty stuff and won't get bored with. No need for "challenges". Note: food preferences change if bouncing in and out of ketosis on a clean diet. For example I look forward to mackerel with cabbage and vinegar - previously I would have puked at the idea when I was eating masses of bread and other junk .
I have done plenty of keto experiments - even taking the ketomojo up to the max ketone reading. It works for weight loss - great. But the skill is to devise a long term diet that is "right" (for you). These days I don't bother with chasing high ketone numbers, it's completely pointless sustained/sustainable weight loss. I go into ketosis by accident almost every day. Weight is falling regardless of being in or out.
Weight loss rate: 1.5 kg per week for June. Which is pretty much like rates under a whacko fad high ketone diet regime. Remember: it is not about the stuff you eat - it is all about the stuff you don't eat :)
I’ve lost so much way and learned how to cook some of the best keto meals in the meantime! Down 80lbs and love cooking now!
Just remember Jesus is the "way", truth, and the life. ;-)
One or two of your favorite recipes?
On top of coming off of an extremely high carb. Hi processed foods diet. I am also coming off of 1 gallon a week. Vodka habit 😩

Thin cut radishes with sour cream and salt. Yummy!!!! Czech grandma made this.
Do you toss it all together?
Oxalates are very high in some of the foods you’ve mentioned and can cause pain and other symptoms for many on a Keto and Carnivore Diet… Sally K Norton’s book is very helpful on this
I opened my very first can of sardines this week because of you, Dr. Boz 😄 and i was pleasantly surprised!! I am working on making those changes and holding myself accountable. Your videos give me strength to break generational chains and bad habits. Thank you again 😃
I love sardines!!

Delicious on a pork rind. 😉
I did the same thing this week after watching her video!😂😂 I scramble them in eggs. That's the only way I can do it. 🤦🏾♀️
I make crustless quiche in small cast iron pans all the time. Bacon with broccoli or spinach sauteed, then mix 3 eggs, heavy cream, cheddar or swiss cheese with a splash or hot sauce and nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste. Mix all together in cast iron and put in oven for 20 minutes at 350F. get creative with the proteins and vegetable combinations you like, paired with cheese that compliments. Enjoy. I do the same with Chaffles, like Chicken Parm chaffles.
What are chaffles
@@elisamarro7356 Waffles made with cheese and eggs. • 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, for example.
I love Basil and Cilantro.
Honestly my Keto grocery list is basically
-Critters
-Eggs
-Sheep Cheese
-Salt
-Butter
If you like pickled eggs - the next time you finish your dill pickles - throw your boiled eggs in there. Presto. 🥒🥚
WOW this is g-r-e-a-t tip! Thank you!
Great idea and simple way to try them. TY.👍
On a fairly large piece of foil take 8oz of grass fed ground beef, put it on a bed of cauliflower pieces, nice slab of butter on top. To enhance the beef, mix with T Worcestershire, t cumin, garlic power, onion powder, smoked paprika, a bunch of diced onion and some S and P. Wrap tight in foil and two choices: Instant Pot for 16 min on high with quick release or oven on 350 for an hour or so. This produces a lot of juices and it's awesome with the cauliflower. I put hot sauce on the finished product. I like to eat it with homemade coleslaw made with full fat yogurt and spices. Very satisfying when hungry.
Thanks for the recipe. Sounds delicious. I'm going to try it.
Ground meat with white cabbage fried in a pan is also very yummy.
Worcestershire sauce has soy? And most yogurts are full of sugar. I would therefore leave out those two ingredients.
@@douglaslegvold9215plain Greek yogurt isn't loaded with sugar
this actually sounds pretty good to my taste. thanks! the only yogurt we eat any more is the organic full fat greek yogurt. may be what you meant? I want to try your recipe!
This may sound crazy, but I literally discovered that I was on a Keto diet. I did not start one. When my A1C rated my average sugar over 300 and my evening test that night was 419, I decided to do something. The VA Pharmacist insisted I needed to go on insulin right away, I refused. I accepted the Metformin, and I took it regular for about a week or two. I bought a meter from Walmart and lots of test strips. I tested everything I ate. I discovered what raised my sugars and gave it away. I try to eat what keeps my sugars down.
I started looking for diabetic recipes and found foods that were better than others. I found a video on Keto and was surprised to see that in my reduction of carbs, I had basically found myself eating much of the Keto type foods. What is great about this discovery was that I learned what Keto was, and that I could eat Keto Ice Cream :) And I could have bread again, but at a horrendous cost on my tiny budget.
After seeing what Keto is and what Carnivore is, I think I'm kind of "KetoVore". I have days I don't mind eating only meat, fish, poultry or egg, but I still love my salads and other veggies. Ham egg and cheese sandwiches are great on net-zero bread.
What I am finding is that Keto/Carnivore seems to be rather expensive if I want any variety. I eat a lot of canned meats and frozen vegetables, I have a small fridge, but even still, fresh veggies go bad before I can eat them. Buying in bulk doesn't save me money and buying smaller packages costs as much as a Wendy's salad. I just get a little more.
I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of this video....
Thank you.
Try duck fat to saute your brussels sprouts. You will love it.
I’ve been watching your videos and you are quite the educator and motivator. On March 8 I weighed 180 lbs. (male 71 years old, 5’7”). My glucose was consistently over 100. For years I was told I had metabolic syndrome. Loose weight I was told. I recently was diagnosed with coronary artery disease. So on March 8 I went cold turkey by cutting out carbs. No more bakery sweets, bread, pasta, potatoes. I don’t follow any “keto” diet. But I am a good cook so I continued to make all my favorite dishes and especially cream sauces. I also started to eat avocados in my escarole salad. I add leftover chicken, or salmon if I have it. I use salt pepper and Italian seasoning with light olive oil ( no more canola oil) and vinegar. Veggies also include Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, and asparagus. In addition to chicken and salmon I eat steak, ribs, pork steak. Most mornings I eat bacon and eggs.
Today is June 6 and I’ve lost 10 lbs and my fasting glucose is at 91.
I test my morning ketones with a test strip and I’m excreting ketones.
So for me this life style is working. And the best part is I don’t feel like I’m punishing myself. No more cravings and waking up in the middle of the night to eat peanut butter and jelly on ritz crackers or worse donuts. (Damn I’d love to have a donut with milk right now) 😀 . Another 10 lbs is my goal. I really think I can do it.
Update August 31: Lost another 10 lbs! Had blood work done. Glucose still at 91. Insulin at 4 (my first test for this). What surprised me was my lipid results. 4 out of 6 results were way up from pre diet results, which were all in the normal range! From my research this is expected. I’m not sure if Dr. Boz has ever discussed lipid chemistry as a result of reducing carbs.
You can do it. Congrats!
Keep it up. It's life changing, but keep learning. Btw....I was educated at an olive oil and vinegar store that there is no such thing as "light" olive oil. It's garbage they say.
Great job.. Congratulations you did it.. and it appears you didn’t deprive yourself.. did you stop drinking water at a certain time? Or did you awaken at nite for restroom breaks? Thanks, Leilani 🌺
@@pldilliner9490 So far I’m not waking up at night as often to go to the bathroom. So I think my prostate health has improved as a result of my diet.
@@MrCharlesEldredge You are right. Light anything has been interfered with, and is bad for your body. Keep up the good work.
This doctor can articulate so much information so succinctly its very impressive ………and helpful.
yes Dr. Boz , that’s how I reacted to a type 2 5 years ago. My history had the Atkins Diet in it 20 years earlier. Now bliss is my 76 year old life. 🤪
Cabbage fried with bacon and onion is delicious.
My cheat-treat is berries and whipped cream. I take my Whipped Cream Dispenser with nitrous oxide cartridges, add pint of heavy cream along with squirt of liquid Monkfruit for a home-made carb-free whipped cream.
Liquid stevia (Sweet Leaf brand) is a great sweetener.
Thank you Dr. Boz. I am 63 and take zero prescribed drugs. I just had a blood panel taken by my doctor. I got a call the nest morning saying my LDL was elevated and he wanted to put me on a statin drug to lower it. I declined and want to address it through diet and exercise. I had been eating 2 pickled eggs every morning for the past 18 months and thought that was the culprit. After watching a few of your videos, I see that eggs are very good. I've been off of them for 6 weeks while eating steel cut oatmeal every morning instead, bad move, huh? I'm back on the pickled eggs starting tomorrow.
Statins are for people who are unable to make lifestyle changes. IMO. I’ve been refusing them for years.
I did this and donated the unopened, unexpired items to a local food bank. Items that were opened but still good I gave to my neighbor who doesn't care about nutrition. It was high quality stuff, mind you.
Mix the avocado with high/full fat Greek yogurt ( Fage 5% is pretty darn good!)...
Will try this. Thanks for the tip!

But fall short of actual keto …..but I’m getting there ❤

I lived on 🥖 🍞 🥯 & find I miss it but mostly because you put anything between it for a quick meal 🥪
Came across oopsie/ cloud bread keto friendly so going to be making this.
This will only work if all family members agree. I would be devastated if my husband chose a diet, threw away my Keto foods, and said, "We will eat what I think we should!" BUT if you live alone ...or your doing Keto as family...GO FOR IT!! HuGs, The Keto Nan...
I agree. I think it’s a lot like alcohol addiction. You have to develop the awareness, habits and the fortitude to resist the foods that don’t work. Carbs are everywhere. Within 5 minutes of my home are a dozen fast food drive-thrus, pizza and Chinese take out, drug stores and gas stations for candy and other junk food and sugar drinks. I can pick up my phone and have a thousand grams of carbohydrate delivered to me. Making this diet work means I have to eat properly so that I’m not hungry and learning to tell myself “no!”.
My hubby still eats carbs - just finished off a peanut butter and honey sandwich dipped in a glass of milk! 😁 Weekend fun for him is take out pizza and a gallon of chocolate ice cream. I eat his BBQ flank steak in a marinade with a touch of molasses. If we are out, he willingly drives to wherever I need for food in addition to where he wants to eat. He accepts a lot of keto-ish alternatives at home and a lot of carnivore meals, but I'm not his mother and he's not in charge of me. I am a sugar-holic and am completely responsible for everything that goes in my mouth.
Right now is Greek Orthodox great Lent. No animal product allowed for six weeks, about. And here I just started carnivore. He is lent fasting, I am carnivore. Exactly the opposite. Lol Jack sprat could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean. And so between the two of them they licked the platter cleano
I’m the only one in my household eating keto. I sectioned off “my” portion of the fridge and they use the rest of the fridge. But upon seeing the positive changes in me since switching to keto, my husband has been slowly gaining interest in it.
@@redsteedproperties2405 yes, I separate my foods from everyone else. I have closed cupboards and open shelves...my stuff is open shelves! Out of sight, out of mind.
Veggies are so delicious sautéed in butter or creamed in real cream. 😋. Of course, Topped w meat.. Kerry Gold Aged Cheddar from Costco is so yummy. It is delicious on cold,, crunchy red bell pepper and cucumbers. Does anyone else worry about nitrates in bacon and other processed meat? We try to avoid them along w artificial sweeteners.
BEWARE, do NOT buy farmed salmon! Wild caught only, either canned or fresh.
If it says that it's Atlantic salmon, then it is farmed. All Atlantic salmon is farmed.

Dinner was KETO Chile rellenos and sour cream. I'm just estimating that was 20 carbs...🙄... I haven't gotten back on the wagon completely, though... But I just got the DrBoz work book and expect the other two books soon. I've signed up for a support group and just got my own BP cuff. Then there's the other monitor...

I lost 100 lbs eating the carnivore way. I'm going to die a happy man knowing my favorite meal of my lifetime is my fountain of youth. I've eaten meat and eggs 1000s of times but also loads of carbs. A little over a year ago I gave up 90% of the carbs and lost 14" of my waistline. It's the perfect menu for a meat eater. Simple and easy to prepare. I do indulge in a 12oz. bag of trail mix once or twice a week. I get some nuts and seeds in me along with the m&m's. I guess that's a comfort food but the nuts and seeds are a good thing.
I'm followed by 2 docs specialized in Keto and they always say: "Do NOT BUY KETO'S POWDER AND PRODUCTS LIKE THAT"
Keto is about cooking and learning what you should eat and when and I so much agree with that !!!
That works in the metabilic health is not awful .. but I have patients with 20-40 years of poor metabilic health. I use blood pressure meds to help them until they loose the weight
Similarly, I use ketones to decrease the time it takes to get ketones flowing out of their liver’s mitochondria.
Supplemental ketones are not forever. They get back o to KETOSIS the fastest & they progress toward optimal metabilic health without stalling or falling off the wagon for weeks.
Your credibility as a doctor is diminished when you spell lose as loose.
I’ve mashed Brussels with two knobs of butter all my life, keto delicious

I love your videos. However, I don’t know what the hell is in the plastic lime bottles, but it tastes NOTHING like a fresh squeezed lime.
A little bit of cocoa powder mixed with a little hot water and then cottage cheese.
I got the Cronometer app that she recommends. I upgraded to the gold on it. I was shocked to find out what had carbs in it. I have 2 16oz coffees in the morning. 14oz of coffee and 2 oz of cream. That 7.2 carbs. 2 eggs--2.9 carbs. That half my carbs for the day. I love sardines so that was nice. One of my fav's right now is egg salad. Just by itself with pink salt. A small salad with lots of dressing. I can add ham or cheese and mushrooms. Canned pink salmon is cheaper than fresh. And I love it. I weigh everything I have scrambled eggs most days for lunch. Trying to ween myself from breakfast. I even have a scale on my desk so I can weigh my pork rinds that I eat. I'm not perfect. I did have fries once when we went out. And tortilla chip another time. I started the 18th of last month and today is the 18th. I'm down 11 pounds. I do a small workout everyday. Nothing to write home about but it is a routine now and I am increasing the weights slowly. Now I need to trim the calories down, and the protein. When I started I didn't want to be hungry so I ate however much I wanted. So this week I trimmed one egg off of breakfast. My late night salami is going away too when that bag is empty. I check my glucose and ketones every morning when I get up. I have consistently been above 1.5 ketones for a lil over a week now. The Dr Boz ratio still goes up and down though. My glucose is what is holding me up but I have hit the 40's and 50's a few times. Now I just need to get walking. Hang in there. It really is about finding what you like to eat I think. I don't like to search for keto friendly sweets either. Trying to get rid of wanting sweets. Not too big of deal for me but I know it is for others. You can do it. :) It was easier when I was younger. Now at 62 I know I have to.
Your carbs are off. That’s why I don’t bother with these lousy apps. 2 large eggs is 1.2 carbs. It is 6 carbs for a cup of hwc and coffee is 0 carbs for a qt.
Great job. Congratulations!

Thanks for the video! I find that using an online meal service works perfectly for me! I am single, never really liked to cook and I hate it when food goes to waste. I order 3 meals per week (6 servings). I can edit organic ingredients that are responsibly sourced. These meals have variety that holds my interest! I've tried new spices and the recipes are easy to prepare. I fry ALL of it in a pan to get more fat. After 6 months keto, my metabolic numbers are looking good and inflammation has dropped drastically. Now I'm reducing my eating window and working towards regular fasting.
She’s right! Clear out the crap and avoid temptation. Been on keto over 4 years now. One meal a day and IF. I’m 72. 100 lbs gone and maintaining.
Until you've had time to do your research and gotten in a lot of practice reading labels, avoid any packaged food that advertises itself as Keto or Keto Friendly. The major food corporations have jumped on to the Keto bandwagon, and some of the less scrupulous ones put out some products that are terrible for your health.
Can't give up blue cheese dressing- seed oils- I know. Will need to create my own. But hamburger on mixed greens with cooked onions drowned in blue cheese is heavenly satisfying.
How dobu make blue cheese dressing

1/2 C finely crumbled Bleu Cheese (or more... use as much or little as you like.). .😉
Mix together well.
My every day comfort used to be pasta. But it was such a meal time staple there was never any guilt. After removing pasta from my menu though after going keto, my comfort foods became heavy cream filled coffee and bacon.
You use heavy cream in your coffee? Any sweetener?
@@sl4983 yep, same...and the 2nd cup goes in the fridge with extra HWC and a squirt of vanilla stevia to become an iced latte with lunch 😋
I each homemade icecream every other day. Ice cream is my go to fat. Made entirely with cream, water, Allulose and egg yolks. Better than any premium ice creams on the market.
Please share recipe
We grew up on finely chopped cabbage with a finely diced green onion, mixed with mayo, salt and pepper, a very simple cold slaw. It’s a mainstay of our diet now too. Been Keto for nearly four years.
Sounds delicious! I’ll have to give it a try…
Add bacon bits and bacon drippings to the mayo for your slaw. For a change up.
Never seen Dr Boz before but like here straight forward approach -- she seems very genuine and sincere. Not hard to look at either.
Do some research on her past so you can make your own informed decision.
Your videos on how to start keto is how it finally made sense to me. I had 3 failed attempts until you explained it. Since then my husband and I are down 50lbs, mood is better, and cravings are under control now.
Great video! Thank U for sharing your personal experience and tips! I find comfort and look forward to Heavy Cream with rasperries for a sweet tooth. I use heavy cream in coffee as a latte that I look forward to every day. I love Macadamia nuts a few every day, walnuts and pecans. I had to learn that cashews are A FRUIT! Yikes, stay away from certain nuts. I also learned certain nuts are high in phytos and are not advantageous.
I love Garlic Salt on hardboiled eggs. I also love avacado oil salad dressing (with a little red vinegar). I had to forfeit Balsamic tho, ouch, I miss balsamic but it has too many carbs. Since I abhor fish and will absolutely not eat it, I take krill oil, cod liver oil supplements for Omega 3s and eat steak, turkey and plain ham. I am a huge asparagus fan with butter and garlic salt.
I was never a great veg eater but I'd heard that cruciferous vegetables were part of the solution to heal a fatty liver. I could just about bear broccoli or Brussel sprouts with my evening meals and I fry them in my meat fat, after blanching them. They're really tasty and make a huge difference.
Sounds delicious
Blanching, or parboiling, makes a huge difference in the flavor of many vegetables by washing away some of the strong flavors - all kinds of greens (spinach for 30 sec, kale for 3-5 min), broccoli, cauliflower. Drain well and then saute with butter and garlic or whatever. Or plunge into a large bowl of cold water to stop cooking. Drain well and then they can be stored in the refrigerator for a few hours or a few days.
@@gsts379 Thanks for that. All of these little techniques are useful to know
@@gsts379 cut brussels in half (even the small frozen ones) slow roasting in animal fat or olive oil with garlic, cut side down, until nice and brown and crispy------ mellows the strong cabbagy flavor also---is my favorite way---YUM--but I only have as occasional treat since easy to over do---so delish
Here’s what I do to Brussel sprouts; cut them in half, put the on a baking pan (use parchment paper for easy cleanup), slice up bite size bell peppers OR Summer squash, then get out a pound of bacon. Cut the bacon in half and just use the half. Then cut the slab twice to get inch sized squares of bacon, lay these out over the veggies. Cook at 400 F for 20 minutes. Take pan out of oven and sprinkle fresh grated Parmesan on the masterpiece. Then cook an additional 10 minutes. The fat from the bacon goes into the veggies so you don’t need any oils or butter. You can sprinkle the veggie layer with hot paprika and minced or powdered onions or even curry powder and cracked pepper. My other fav is to use large sweet onions and Brussel sprouts as an alternative. Be creative! The parchment paper makes all the difference for easy cleanup.
I hear ya on that kale. I'm turned off by brussel sprouts and cooked spinach, too. I am diabetic and starches are a problem for me. I was surprised when you mentioned flour dust on the shredded cheese. I learned a few years ago sugar is the culprit, not fat. I try to eat small portions and two meals a day. Intermittent fasting helps keep my glucose down and I don't eat after 3 PM most days because I have acid reflux at night if I do. Great advice.
Not eating after 3 takes a lot of will power! Kudos to you!
@@rebeccagreenwell3934 For real!!! I don't start feeling hungry until late. I'm a night eater. I'm happy to come across Dr. Boz, because the sardines help me tremendously! They satiate my appetite.
The only way I like brussel sprouts is cut in half, brush with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic and then bake until the tops start to brown, take out and dust with parmesan cheese. And even then I only eat a few at a time.
If you boil or steam them they just taste like fart balls.
I live in a home where people do not want to follow the keto diet, but I am trying. Pasta, milk, and cold cereal are all around me, though I have discovered some low-carb pasta that I use in my cooking. Sometimes someone in the house will ask, "Is that all there is for dinner?" because I only cook meat. I always say "yes," and I am not asked as frequently these days. We are all accustomed to eating a lot of processed foods three times a day. Being good has been difficult since I made the change. It is similar to working in a bar as an alcoholic.
Breakfast: Walmart antioxidant blend fruit, sprinkle of no carb Pumpkin Pie spice, sprinkle of nutritional yeast, 1 or 2 table spoons flax seed whole, 1 or 2 table spoons of chia seeds, 1 table spoon lilly keto dark chocolate chips, 3 heaping table spoons of the Choboni Whole Milk Greek Yogurt, stir all together then top with Nu Trail Keto Granola.
She’s the best! I’ve read her books. They saved my life. There’s too much stuff out on the Internet from too many different people. That’s not sequential not organize not plan not structured. I’m hoping you can put your videos in a sequential order like your book it would be so helpful but the ones you have now aren’t very very good.
I think my comfort food is ranch dressing. I not only use it in salads but to dip meats into. I make it from homemade avacado mayo, whole milk, and hidden valley ranch seasoning one day ill make it fully from scratch
🫤 I thought milk 🥛 is not keto friendly?
Fully from scratch is delicious!!!
Homemade lentil & vegetable broth topped with a dollop of butter and a thick grating of cheddar cheese... My breakfast every morning.
I love cabbage and asparagus both raw and cooked. Okra (fresh or frozen) can thicken soups. Roasted whole orka is delicious too.
I did Keto a few years ago and what I learned was not only did I lose weight almost all of my aches and pains disappeared. I’m going to start again not because I want to lose weight which I can lose a few but to get rid of the aches and pains. Honestly for me it’s the pain that I want to get rid of more than the weight
For those craving sweet: blend one avocado, 2 glasses of coconut oil, stevia and ice. You can freeze it and eat like a icecream if you want, or just drink it. SWEETOOTH
Eeeew, plaaaahk, stevia leaves an aftertaste at the back of my mouth/tongue__tastes like aspartame or Sweet 'n' Low to me! 😬😡
Two glasses of coconut oil???
Every doctor wearing a stethoscope without any reason to me is a fake!!
Plastic lemon oh boy.. You wouldn't advice this junk if you know what youre talking about...
For dessert I have a Zevia Root Beer with a tablespoon of heaving whipping cream. Think Root Beer float!
I could have Root Beet on Keto?
I make chia pudding with coconut milk and stevia
Instead of throwing away your non-keto food items, give them to a friend or neighbor if they are unopened and within date.
Wasting good food is a sin and there will be someone who isn't on keto who can use it.
That's exactly what I did...gave everything to my neighbor
Or donate to a food bank
Throw away really means to get those items out of the fridge and make use of it by giving it to someone 😊😊
The whole point is you are getting rid of it because it is NOT GOOD FOOD. Giving it to someone else just inflicts is poor qualities on someone else.
@@musicinthemachine,
EURIKA! AN INTELLIGENT, EDUCATED, FREETHINKER!!! 😁
TOTALLY AGREE!!! 🙏😇✨💫🌱🌿🌻🐝🌳🌎💖🙌😺
Not just any salt though. Celtic, Himalayan, etc. that have so many minerals 😋 this helps stop cramping, headachess, blirry vision, etc.
I started a veggie patch in August 2021, lots of mistakes. kale (2 types), herbs (lots) and other stuff. Growing some trees as well. I only eat the fruit I grow. Cauliflower mash is great with liver.
I know it is considered 'dirty keto' but my favorite dessert is very cold heavy whipping cream with either sugar free pudding or jello. Whipped for about 2 minutes turns into almost like ice cream when completely chilled and you get the flavors you want.
Is funny--I have keto ice cream in my freezer right now for a special treat tonight--made this morning with heavy whipping cream, whipped a little bit with sugar free pistachio. I don't do this very often because I need to stay away from any "sweet" flavor and too much cream stalls my weight loss. So I only made a half cup serving . I don't dare make extra to keep in freezer because I know myself. I make very occasional treats like this in one serving amount so I don't overdo. I will eventually wean myself off completely but I find knowing I can have a treat occasionally keeps me going mentally. When I find something that is especially delicious without any fake sweetner/carbs---I choose to not make it often so that those will eventually become my "treats"--like anything cheesy (which slows my weight loss).
Bacon and chicken wings are my comfort foods!
My faves too!!!
Me three
I’ve use Crystal Light as a flavoring in unflavored yogurt, cottage cheese …mix that with a bit of regular mayo…num! I like using the strawberry lemonade Crystal Light because it gives that tiny bit of lemon burst of strawberry cheesecake.
Dr. Boz is right, purge your kitchen of all the foods that are not Keto. Removing souvenirs of your past life will help keep you away from temptation!
My go to meal when I don't have time to cook before work is a vanilla shake. I use almond milk, heavy cream, eggs, pure vanilla extract (no sugar, which will make it expensive), and powdered stevia extract. It's basically melted ice cream.
I grew up with my Italian grandparents. Pasta is my comfort food. I make my own lasagna noodles from scratch. I no longer have it in the house. I used to substitute with spaghetti squash and zucchini noodles but I have moved beyond that. We have developed a list of about 15 meals that can be carnivore but usually add a little vegetable. We just rotate around that list to avoid boredom. My wife's favorite meal is breakfast but we skip that now. Sometimes we'll have breakfast for dinner. That consists of bacon and scrambled eggs or hamburger patty with fried eggs. Most of the time we are OMAD. If we can't make it until dinner we might have a small meal around 2 or 3 pm. Usually some combination of pork rinds, cream cheese, sardines, salami, and/or butter. I like to take thin sliced salami, spread it with butter and roll it up. Sometimes I'll add a thin stick of parmesan.
I come from a Italian family myself…pasta was my comfort food, Sundays at my nonna’s house were epic…tons of cheeses, salame, bread and her delicious pasta with tons of meat and octopus!
Now my comfort food is salami, parmesano and butter!
Bacon is our favorite keto food!
Nice! Good info
my mother was Italian. I have a pasta drawer- spaghetti,tagliatelle,farfalle, ditalini,conchiglie,spirilli,lasagne,etc. And I don't even eat that much pasta these days. Well I guess i won't be eating any pasta in the near future :(
@ 4:25 on your video you mentioned that you didn't like kale that it tasted awful to you. My Daughter makes kale chips by using olive oil on the kale leaves and putting them in the oven till they are crispy and then salting them. They are actually pretty good that way.
My granddaughter has loved Kale chips from when she was 2 years old. She likes lots of strong flavors and isn't much for sweets. I am a veggie lover. I have tried keto a number of times and I just miss my veggies so much. Nothing more comforting than carrots, sweet potatoes or ANY veggie. I am doing okay now...and losing weight by limiting my high carb veggies. Might try a sardine challenge. I love kippers.
So basic, so clear, so important. Thanks Annette!
I got the Audio book Keto Continuum and listened to it when it first came out and am thinking I might should also get the paperback book to go along with the workbook I have. Anyway I'm fixing to open up the program and start it "again" and this time I've a little more encouragement at home except there will probably always be the carbs close by. My other half has to have them no matter what. Oh well the bottom line is it's up to me to put on my big boy pants and buckle down and do this because I want to and I can. I had to get holiday's and birthday's done with for awhile and now it's time to turn on. Test run has been done and I've got necessary device's and Sola water made and I'm ready. I'll be in contact through the program. I'm so glad you made this program. Thanks doc.
I love chicken breast, chopped up, with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika powder and loads of chopped and crushed garlic. I leave it to soak for a little while, then in a pan with butter I fry it. So delicious. Onions and mushrooms, also in butter, then add water and cream cheese and cook it for a couple of minutes. With broccoli and cauliflowers boiled and then tossed in butter with a nice sprinkling of salt. My favourite meal. Soo damn tasty!
I agree on the basil thing. Dried basil is terrible and nothing like the fresh plant. Same with parsley and cilantro.
Great video. I've rediscovered cabbage ! Sliced and stir fried with ground pork, rosemary, basil, garlic. Add an egg and it's breakfast. Definately going to try the avocado choc ice cream :)
