Have you switched over to a low carb gluten free diet? Let me know!!! Be sure to watch out video on the Vegetables to Avoid if You Have Inflammation - ruclips.net/video/wAv1ss1ayRI/видео.html
Hi 👋just found you I’m looking for a recipe to make my own carbquick flour mix please🙏 it’s hard to find where l live and is very expensive 🤯thank you for your hard work I’m loving your channel I am diabetic and struggling 😢 retired lady in England ❤
I am 💯 on board with everything you say in this video! I am a Registered Nurse of 24 years and your pre- Keto story is shockingly close to mine. I was so sick and it progressively got worse and worse and came to a head after I had my second child at 35. Doctors were giving me no help at all. They just said “Increase your fiber and take this pill.” Shameful. I only found true relief when I went dairy free clean Keto. I will never go back to the SAD. Thank you for telling this to the world! I hope everyone will LISTEN ❤
Hi Amy! Thank you so much for sharing your story as well. The more of us in health care who talk about our experiences, the more who will listen! Much love!
I love low carb / anti-inflammatory diet. I feel so much better on it. My plantar fasciitis healed and other pains went away. Mood balanced and can think clearer.
I was on Whole Foods plant-based diet for one and a half years and during that time, the auto immune disease that I have, lichen planus , became so severe that mayo clinic said I was one of their worst patients disease wise. Soon after I went on keto, my skin started to clear up drastically. While it may never leave me, it is far better on a ketogenic diet or low-carb.
Hi Shelly. I went the "traditional nutritionist" route that seemed so "scripted food pyramid" with NO SUCCESS. I'm now doing a clean Keto lifestyle x 4 months for Thyroid, NLD, PCOC, other metabolic and inflammatory conditions. Game changer. Down 30lbs with 40 more to go. Thank you for your content. I GET IT! ❤️
Personally I’m about to go back on keto …. I always felt WAY better and weighed way less … I quit because I got sick of the “is that keto” and other snide remarks anytime I shared what I was doing. I love keto. I hate the way people treat you when you say you do keto.
more and more people are doing it and now we know that when you hit your amino acid requirements for the day you won't be hungry. So low insulin and high amino acids (complete protein from animal meat) is the secret to how keto works, so just tell people you're on the new "Low Insulin Amino Acid Diet" or just say Paleo. 😉
@@KJB0001 so maybe I need to have more meat snacks instead of nuts?!? I'm a bit of a snacker especially in the afternoon before dinner. I've lost 10 lbs & have been stuck for almost a month!
@@ct7513 Totally agree. Nuts are carby and you can't have just 9. Carnivore is awesome and great for a full lifestyle change (Kelly Hogan/Dr. Cwyes) or just for a plateau. Protein snacks or even the PSMF bread (as toast) from Maria Emmerich with a savory compound butter might work if meat sounds boring.. My daughter is a carnivore (meat, fish, salts, ghee, mineral supplements) and she snacks on bacon wrapped shrimp crisped up in the air fryer. Five frozen shrimps (from the bag) quickly chilled in hot tap water, then wrapped in a half piece of bacon and cooked til crisp. I add a sliver of Pepper Jack and fresh jalapeno to make Shrimp Brochette. Her appetite is tiny because she hits her amino acid reqs early in the day, so she inadvertently does two meals a day. She looks super lean and her body fat DEXA'd at 13%. She rarely does more than Steady State Cardio (zone 2) for workouts. Also, Quest Tortilla Style Protein Chips. They're keto junk food, so I only take them to movie theatres or friends' houses when I know keto junk food won't be available. My husband LOVES 45o5 Chicharrones (pork rinds) in the green bag- Jalapeno Cheddar. Other brands are pretty nasty, IMHO.
I'm gluten intolerant. I also avoid omega 6 oils and sugar. I can totally identify with your symptoms. Moving more and eating less stopped working as I aged and had children. 1 year ago I went low carb and started losing weight and feeling better. Now I'm ketovore. Lost 70 pounds and feel great. Good luck on your channel and thanks for sharing.
This makes so much sense to me! I also Have tried several ways of eating and the only thing that worked was low carb. When I eat Grains or bread, I quickly Feel bloated all the time and get headaches often! This way of eating can be healthy if you do it right. Eat clean and you can still have a lot of veggies. As a person who also suffers from migraines, I feel Your pain! They hurt SOOO bad! I’m glad that you found out what works for you!
Girllllllll I felt EVERY second of your pain talking about migraines. I'm a fellow migraine sufferer and I've been on a journey to stop/reduce my migraines. No one really understands that level of pain unless they experience it for themselves. Thank you for sharing! This video has given me so much hope!
I'm less than a minute in and I had to pause to comment. I'm currently in school for my Nutritional therapy degree (declined to go full RND for multiple reasons) and I have considered quitting so many times. I disagree with the plant based agenda being pushed, am currently still obese myself and am on my first week of carnivore. This video gives me hope that there are people of similar mind working in the industry and maybe I can find myself in it too. Thank you 💖💖
Hi ! Thank you so much for your comment! Please continue your studies - we need you in our world!! Please stay in touch and let me know if you have any questions! Big hugs!
I've been doing this diet for 2 1/1 years. I was told by a dietitian that this is not sustainable. It is. You feel so bad when you go off plan it's not worth it just like you said. I got one of those migrains like that and I really thought I was going to die. My mother died of an aneurysm. I could really relate to your story. I still have weight to loose but iam not stopping. Love your videos
What a great video Shelly. I know how you feel/felt with migraine pain. I appreciate you sharing this great info with us as followers. I did great on very low carb a couple years ago and need to get back to it. You are an inspiration.
Thank you for sharing; this could really save lives. I know that sounds like a bold statement, but anything that gets the anti-sugar message out there could be a lifeboat to a friend you haven't met.
I just discovered you today after searching for belly bloat. I just subscribed. I was up to over 180 at 5’4”. No matter what I did, plant based, vegan, Mediterranean diet, I couldn’t shed the pounds. Then I decided to try keto and I lost 25 pounds in one month. I stuck with it for almost a year and a half now and I’m at my goal weight, 130-135. I still have a problem with belly bloat though. I think it’s due to my using sugar alcohols in my morning coffee along with heavy cream. I’m looking forward to more of your videos. Edited to add: I went from a size 16 to a size 6. I’m loving this and want to stick with it.
That sounds wonderful, i just found her video as well, i hope i have your success im 52 and 194. Im not a snacker or big on sweets but the weight wont come off!. I can not even imagine being a size 10 let alone 6!. Going to try this time. All the best!
Shelly thank you for your story. I felt like you were telling my story. I appreciate your honesty, tenacity and decision to believe your clients. Who would of thought that believing your clients would be unique--but sadly it is. I would like to employ your program!
I really applaud you for spreading this awareness especially standing up to do what’s right & going against the colleagues. We need more people like you. I totally agree with you with the American standard diet is all wrong. The pyramid is up side down. I also decided to change my eating life style after having so much inflammations & found the healthy ketogentic works for me. My goal is to open my own practice and integrate with the ketogentic lifestyle and reversing type 2 diabetes. I want to eventually get my DNP. Thank you for setting the platform. I am currently a nursing student but want to advance my degree to DNP. You have a new subscriber.😊
I LOVE THIS! Thank you for making my day! Please continue to stay in touch - I wish you the best and keep going with what really works!!! Love that you cleared up your inflammation and want to help others!
BIG THUMBS UP to all of you dieticians & nurses moving in this direction!!! I know many people that I'm trying to encourage to move into better eating habits & hopefully KETO!!! It's such a blessing to anyone I know who has embraced it!!!!!!!!! COME ON DOCS!!!!! PLEASE JOIN THIS WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Way to go Shelly! Love you being honest about what works for you! Who cares what others (including other RDs) say if what you are doing works for YOU! You've inspired me to give it another shot. Did keto for about a month a while back and was NEVER hungry - and that just doesn't happen. However, finding meals that worked for me a non-keto hubby was a challenge. Thanks again for being honest and helping people be healthier and happier!
I'm not crying You're crying! Very touching story I felt the same way about the pain I had from gout. I knew I couldn't live life that way. Thank you for everything you do
Thank you for sharing your story! I have been diagnosed with MS and am trying to get back on track since Covid it's been a challenge. I've downloaded your plan. Thanks again!
Beautiful Shelly you are awesome I felt your pain and cried with you sending love and hugs I have been watching your videos and can't wait to try your recipes thank you for sharing them..
I'm so glad I found your channel Shelly! I'm having to change up my diet plan, and here in the UK the guidelines are pretty much same as what you've described in America..my doctor put me on a low fibre diet basically all the worse things for type 2 diabetes...there's not much awareness for a truly healthier friendlier diet for everything your channel highloghts...its frustrating that the medical professionals, diabetic nurses dieticians here still are NOT fully listening..and still recommend harmful foods to us and doesn't encourage our bodies to recover or get better it's madness! ..and all the gluten free low carb things are SO expensive here too! I'll have a check on your site and hopefully I can change my health! With love from UK 🙂
Hi Emma! I am so glad you commented! I am sad things are the same in the UK :( - but I am so proud of you for making changes to your diet! Please let me know how I can help!
Thank you for this video. I was diagnosed, pre-diabetic. I have learned in the past week that 1g of carb = 1 tsp of sugar. One product I was quick to get on my lunch breaks was Bolthouse farms protein drinks. Well, the Nut butter protein plus banana honey package was looking good until I read it had 83 tsps. of sugar in 1 serving. Now when I walk pass them all I see is 1.5 cup of sugar.
OMG! I'm organizing my studio (I throw things, not put back) and listening to you. Then you said the two words that had me digging through stuff and pulled out a recipe book . . . low glycemic. I bought this book over 10 years ago but never did a recipe. I don't follow recipes to the T. I look for ideas like you always give. You said so many things that I can relate to or have experienced. In other words people, get to know your body, what works and what doesn't then give yourself a hug. ☺
The SAD diet is criminal. I learned how CAFO meat still isn't enough on Keto. Ya gotta go grass-fed, grass finished, pastured, or line-caught. Chickens need to eat the bugs or they are worthless to humans. When cows eat grains and not grass, their histamines are very high and then we eat it! Also, for satiety- when you hit your amino acid requirements for the day you won't be hungry. So low insulin and high amino acid is the secret to how keto works. Or a PSMF. Fiber is NOT essential to humans so don't force yourself to eat it.
Thanks for the videos Shelly; I also had terrible migraines in the past, even taking migraine meditation. Once a medical doctor had to come to where I lived to give me an injection, due to the pain and symptoms. I'm looking forward to your other videos. I have a history of inflammation, CFS, poor bowel function, migraines, menstrual issues, insomnia.
Love your channel! Low carb is definitely where I feel my best. Thank you for sharing. I’m so glad you found what works for you. Love your accent. My family is from Thibodaux.
Low carb dietician. I am interested. I came across your channel, and I believe you are right! I am interested in becoming a healthier and will be subscribing and watching your videos to learn how to reverse or at least reduce my blood sugar levels. Thank you! ❤
Shelly ..l just think you are amazing. I have been doing between keto and carnivore back and forth for 5 or more yrs. The standard food pyramid is horrid… all wrong. You keep doing what you are doing right now girl. Lots of hugs from Ontario , Canada 🥰💖🇨🇦
I studied nutrition at uni and ended up doing nothing with the degree as the ‘eat well’ plate just makes no sense and giving dietary advice based on that always seemed wrong! I am glad to find someone else who has the same thoughts! Might be a little late for me to go back and start practising in this area! 😮
Shelly, I tried to send you a private message in Facebook. I didn't have any luck. I received a message that said I cannot send you a message because you don't take private messages from just anyone. I didn't realize I was just anyone. Lol. I also tried to follow you and that section was grayed out. I want to tell you my story, but it's too long. Maybe someday I'll be able to take the time to type it all out and post it as a comment on your video. I was very moved and inspired to tell my story after watching this video. Keep up the amazing work. Get the word out there. The food that our government is saying is safe for us to eat is killing us.
Hey!!! You can email me at shelly@skinnylouisiana.com! I sadly have received some - well - threatening messages on FB so I had to privatize since police investigation is involved! It should have sent an automatic message with my email? Let me know if it didn’t! And you are not just anyone - you are amazing!
Ok, you got me!. Im going to try Keto for this coming month of Aug 2022. I am 52 and 194 pounds and my knees hurt. Oh and hignish blood presure. I hope this works for me. However, i dont know how many carbs to avoid or how to count them, so i have to get my menu set up!. I have read about the keto diet but this video you made last year " and i just came upon you this afternoon" convinced me to, just go ahead and do it!. Maybe by the time the holidays set in i will finally be able to wear anything i want and feel better health wise. Let you know! Great video!.
Hi!!! Thank you for your comment! Did you download the menu?! Get started with the menu and please stay in touch & let me know if you have questions!!!
I've been on and off the wagon between low carb and ketogenic. I've recently got motivated ( pissed and disgusted 🤣) to do something different because I have plateau on all levels. I gave to have Meat and vegetables. Oh and garlic,onions and herbs. 😀 A large salad triggers me big time so I don't mind a side salad but It does not fill me up and it gives me digestive issues especially lettuce. Now there are different kinds of salads that don't include rice and pasta that actually illuminate lettuce and I can handle those but not on a daily basis it's too much. My favorite go-to veggies are steam broccoli and brussel sprouts. I would put a small amount of butter on it coat it and it's delicious with whatever meat I want with how much ever animal fat I want which is usually much but enough to give it taste. I have to have spices and herbs to season my food. I'm rebooting as of today I'm a document my changes. I know this video is a year old but appreciate it. And I received your apologies in place of the insane dietitians and RNs that treated me and we're outright wrong! I remember being at a training thing for diabetes and they gave us a whole meat sandwich and baked potato chips for lunch 🤦 My sugar shot to 249. What the hell is wrong with the medical! 🤦 community?! So here's to reboot.
I am so proud of you for taking charge of your health. And I am so sorry what happened to you in your diabetic training. Please continue to stay in touch.
@@dietitianshelly I'm so glad I found your channel and watched this video, in particular. You have a huge heart and I admire your passion, truth bombs and reality checks. Enjoy your day 😊
Thank you for being honest. As southern women we are taught to be nice and trust the physicians. Yeah, no. Only I can effectively advocate for my health. You can do it nicely but no one else can do it for you. I trust but verify when it comes to the billion dollar healthcare system in the US.
I’ve only just found your channel… what are your thoughts on full fat Greek yogurt, natural with no added sugar? I love my Greek yogurt… thank you for all your advice x
Hi Shelly, your story is incredible and inspiring. I am a veteran and am under the care of VA docs…Nothing wrong with that, but def can relate to not being heard. My cholesterol (family genetics) is pretty high which is concerning my doc (who wants to put me on a statin). All other stuff is normal though. In your professional opinion, is Keto the right fit? I’ve spoken to several VA dieticians who are NOT on board with Keto, so it’s hard to know who to believe…Thank you for your time! Great videos and I look forward to watching your future ones!
Hi Chris!!!! Thank you for your service to our country. I can understand the 'fear' of keto - old school keto was 'drinking ranch dressing' and just eating 'neck bones!' If you follow keto with beautiful omega-3 fats (olive oil) it is a wonderful plan! Let me know if you have anymore questions :)
@@dietitianshelly I have consulted with a plant based nutritionist a couple of months ago and she said no nuts avocados or nut butters. Basically only fruits and vegetables. No oil and only a small amount of grains. I am a small person anyway and did not need to lose weight and I have lost even more weight because I have nothing left to eat. I am so confused!
@@shirleymatos9055 Seems like they took a vegan route with your plan. Do you enjoy it? Are you benefiting from it health and energy wise? If not, you look in the description box and download the menu plan I have!
@@dietitianshelly def the vegan route. I am not enjoying it but I am so afraid to eat meat as I am afraid it will raise my cholesterol and blood sugar more. Do you do online consults?
@@dietitianshelly I have not tried radishes that way, though I cooked them in with a roast. Delish! I don’t like turnips at all but maybe I’ll get brave and try them! I’ve boiled daikon and then made like an augratin potatoes sub with them. I’m. It sure if they would broil well or not
Hi Shelly. I just found your channel & I'm a new subscriber. I love your honesty, openness, spirit & energy. I'm curious as to what your views are, based on research, on children eating a low carb diet, especially those with pre-diabetes?
If they have pre-diabetes - they can follow a low carb diet with no problem!!!! Often, I look to add some good protein they can 'carry' to school and balance out their meals :)
Hi Im 20yo ive always had trouble losing weight since 10 yo i gone to nutritionist and such but nothing really worked. I wanna try this diet how do I start?
I also have hourglass shape lol but according to my BMI im overly Obese and I have alway been! Simce little they told me all grow and ill change but im still "obese"
@@dietitianshelly I’m majoring in PolSci, I know I’ll have to deal with ACEND eventually after I receive my undergrad. But this is want I really want to do!
@@dietitianshelly Back at ya! I'm eating pizza now. Chaffles pizza. I use to teach aerobic's at Shape Spa, back in the 80's. Also sold Herbalife. Diets really have changed for the better!! I'll be watching you. Loving your video's!!
@@011219551 Chaffles!!! Yes!!!! I am making a future video about how chaffles have gone a little coo coo - HA!!!! Love that diet have changed for the better! Thanks for the love! Hugs back at you!
@@dietitianshelly OMG! You're telling MY story about not producing milk for my child! My best friend was nursing her baby girl, her fourth, she also gave me her milk for my son! And your not gonna believe me, her name is Shelly!!! I'll be waiting on your new video. I only add egg & Mozzarella. Then 2 or 3 dabs of pizza sauce, pepperoni. I'm looking for a way to make it, with less carbs, & calories. Mine is still better then ordering one. I eat one like 1 a week. Plus I eat boiled cabbage, 3 days a week. Love that cabbage!!! 😘
@@011219551 about pizza - sometimes I put the pizza ingredients on top of a large portabella mushroom!!! I usually toss the mushroom in a small frying pan for a few minutes to get the water out & then add toppings & microwave or bake to melt the cheese.

AW! Hugs!
I really applaud you for spreading this awareness especially standing up to do what’s right & going against the colleagues. We need more people like you. I totally agree with you with the American standard diet is all wrong. The pyramid is up side down. I also decided to change my eating life style after having so much inflammations & found the healthy ketogentic works for me. My goal is to open my own practice and integrate with the ketogentic lifestyle and reversing type 2 diabetes. I want to eventually get my DNP. Thank you for setting the platform. I am currently a nursing student but want to advance my degree to DNP. You have a new subscriber.😊
I LOVE THIS! Thank you for making my day! Please continue to stay in touch - I wish you the best and keep going with what really works!!! Love that you cleared up your inflammation and want to help others!
BIG THUMBS UP to all of you dieticians & nurses moving in this direction!!! I know many people that I'm trying to encourage to move into better eating habits & hopefully KETO!!! It's such a blessing to anyone I know who has embraced it!!!!!!!!! COME ON DOCS!!!!! PLEASE JOIN THIS WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@ct7513 yes yes yes! Trust me - a lot of my colleagues hate me but many are picking up on the importance and benefits of keto!
Thank you for sharing your story, so moving
Big hugs!!
For carbs I’m at under 50 grams a day!
Way to go Shelly! Love you being honest about what works for you! Who cares what others (including other RDs) say if what you are doing works for YOU! You've inspired me to give it another shot. Did keto for about a month a while back and was NEVER hungry - and that just doesn't happen. However, finding meals that worked for me a non-keto hubby was a challenge. Thanks again for being honest and helping people be healthier and happier!
You bet!!!! Start simple and you will be back to it in no time!!!
I'm not crying You're crying! Very touching story I felt the same way about the pain I had from gout. I knew I couldn't live life that way. Thank you for everything you do
You are welcome!!!
❤️proud of you. Our profession makes me want to scream on a daily. It’s all about the individual! Glad you are happy and healthy ❤️
Thank you!!!! Yes - we have some folks who need to learn - that’s why I’m sharing my story! Big hugs!
Thank you for your vulnerability and for sharing your personal story. ❤️
You are so welcome! Big hugs!
Thank you for sharing your story! I have been diagnosed with MS and am trying to get back on track since Covid it's been a challenge. I've downloaded your plan. Thanks again!
You bet! Please stay in touch!!
Beautiful Shelly you are awesome I felt your pain and cried with you sending love and hugs I have been watching your videos and can't wait to try your recipes thank you for sharing them..
Aw! Hugs to you!!!
I'm so glad I found your channel Shelly! I'm having to change up my diet plan, and here in the UK the guidelines are pretty much same as what you've described in America..my doctor put me on a low fibre diet basically all the worse things for type 2 diabetes...there's not much awareness for a truly healthier friendlier diet for everything your channel highloghts...its frustrating that the medical professionals, diabetic nurses dieticians here still are NOT fully listening..and still recommend harmful foods to us and doesn't encourage our bodies to recover or get better it's madness! ..and all the gluten free low carb things are SO expensive here too! I'll have a check on your site and hopefully I can change my health!
With love from UK
🙂
Hi Emma! I am so glad you commented! I am sad things are the same in the UK :( - but I am so proud of you for making changes to your diet! Please let me know how I can help!
Thank you, Shelly for sharing your story. Riveting. You're so amazing. Keep going! ❤️
You are welcome! You are amazing! Xo
@@dietitianshelly ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this video. I was diagnosed, pre-diabetic. I have learned in the past week that 1g of carb = 1 tsp of sugar. One product I was quick to get on my lunch breaks was Bolthouse farms protein drinks. Well, the Nut butter protein plus banana honey package was looking good until I read it had 83 tsps. of sugar in 1 serving. Now when I walk pass them all I see is 1.5 cup of sugar.
I am so proud of you for taking charge of your health!!!
OMG! I'm organizing my studio (I throw things, not put back) and listening to you. Then you said the two words that had me digging through stuff and pulled out a recipe book . . . low glycemic. I bought this book over 10 years ago but never did a recipe. I don't follow recipes to the T. I look for ideas like you always give. You said so many things that I can relate to or have experienced. In other words people, get to know your body, what works and what doesn't then give yourself a hug. ☺
Love love love!!!
The SAD diet is criminal. I learned how CAFO meat still isn't enough on Keto. Ya gotta go grass-fed, grass finished, pastured, or line-caught. Chickens need to eat the bugs or they are worthless to humans. When cows eat grains and not grass, their histamines are very high and then we eat it! Also, for satiety- when you hit your amino acid requirements for the day you won't be hungry. So low insulin and high amino acid is the secret to how keto works. Or a PSMF. Fiber is NOT essential to humans so don't force yourself to eat it.
So true - SAD is a DISASTER!!!!! So glad I walked away from it :)
Thanks for the videos Shelly; I also had terrible migraines in the past, even taking migraine meditation. Once a medical doctor had to come to where I lived to give me an injection, due to the pain and symptoms. I'm looking forward to your other videos. I have a history of inflammation, CFS, poor bowel function, migraines, menstrual issues, insomnia.
Hi! Thank you for sharing your story with me - I am so excited you will be watching more videos! Much love and please stay in touch :)
Nothing will ever change in this country Kelly, I'm so sorry to say that, but it's all about the money not the health of the Humans
I understand!!!!
Love your channel! Low carb is definitely where I feel my best. Thank you for sharing. I’m so glad you found what works for you. Love your accent. My family is from Thibodaux.
Aw!!! Thanks so much for the love!!!! Yah Thibodaux!!!! Let me know if you have any questions or if I can help in anyway!!
Great video Shelly!! Best one so far. Great information. Thank you for sharing your story and being the “rebel”.
Aw! Thank you! Big hugs!
Thank you for sharing your story. XOXO
Big hugs right back!
I love watching you, and I appreciate you and I'm learning a lot. Thank you 💞
You are so welcome! Stay in touch!
Thank you for your story 🙏🙏🙏
YOu are welcome!
Low carb dietician. I am interested. I came across your channel, and I believe you are right! I am interested in becoming a healthier and will be subscribing and watching your videos to learn how to reverse or at least reduce my blood sugar levels. Thank you! ❤
Yah!
I’m three minutes in and we have very similar stories ♥️
Hugs…..
Thank you Shelly, I just found you and started your diet today!
Yah!!! Let me know if you have any questions!!!!
@@dietitianshelly
I will. Thank you Shelly. I ordered your books from Amazon.
Shelly ..l just think you are amazing. I have been doing between keto and carnivore back and forth for 5 or more yrs. The standard food pyramid is horrid… all wrong. You keep doing what you are doing right now girl. Lots of hugs from Ontario , Canada 🥰💖🇨🇦
Aw! So many hugs back!!! You are amazing!
I studied nutrition at uni and ended up doing nothing with the degree as the ‘eat well’ plate just makes no sense and giving dietary advice based on that always seemed wrong! I am glad to find someone else who has the same thoughts! Might be a little late for me to go back and start practising in this area! 😮
Hi Karen!!! Not late at all!!!! Go for it!!!! Hugs!
Yes all day. Please continue to help shift the paradigm
Hugs!! Working on it!
I feel my best on a low carb diet! I'm at my goal weight I'm doing the egg mono at the moment to get into ketosis
I am so proud of you!! Keep up the great work!!
Your kitchen is lovely, bright and minimal, Shelly. Great testimony. Irrefutable evidence. G Ire
YAH! I love my kitchen as well!
Love your honest theory 🎉
Hugs!
Shelly, I tried to send you a private message in Facebook. I didn't have any luck. I received a message that said I cannot send you a message because you don't take private messages from just anyone. I didn't realize I was just anyone. Lol. I also tried to follow you and that section was grayed out. I want to tell you my story, but it's too long. Maybe someday I'll be able to take the time to type it all out and post it as a comment on your video. I was very moved and inspired to tell my story after watching this video. Keep up the amazing work. Get the word out there. The food that our government is saying is safe for us to eat is killing us.
Hey!!! You can email me at shelly@skinnylouisiana.com! I sadly have received some - well - threatening messages on FB so I had to privatize since police investigation is involved! It should have sent an automatic message with my email? Let me know if it didn’t! And you are not just anyone - you are amazing!
Low carb is the only way of eating that works for me, I lost 35 lb since December 2020, not going back to carbs!
Love it! Congrats on your success! Please do let me know if I can help in any way!
Ok, you got me!. Im going to try Keto for this coming month of Aug 2022. I am 52 and 194 pounds and my knees hurt. Oh and hignish blood presure. I hope this works for me. However, i dont know how many carbs to avoid or how to count them, so i have to get my menu set up!. I have read about the keto diet but this video you made last year " and i just came upon you this afternoon" convinced me to, just go ahead and do it!. Maybe by the time the holidays set in i will finally be able to wear anything i want and feel better health wise. Let you know! Great video!.
Hi!!! Thank you for your comment! Did you download the menu?! Get started with the menu and please stay in touch & let me know if you have questions!!!
I've been on and off the wagon between low carb and ketogenic. I've recently got motivated ( pissed and disgusted 🤣) to do something different because I have plateau on all levels. I gave to have Meat and vegetables. Oh and garlic,onions and herbs. 😀 A large salad triggers me big time so I don't mind a side salad but It does not fill me up and it gives me digestive issues especially lettuce. Now there are different kinds of salads that don't include rice and pasta that actually illuminate lettuce and I can handle those but not on a daily basis it's too much. My favorite go-to veggies are steam broccoli and brussel sprouts. I would put a small amount of butter on it coat it and it's delicious with whatever meat I want with how much ever animal fat I want which is usually much but enough to give it taste. I have to have spices and herbs to season my food. I'm rebooting as of today I'm a document my changes. I know this video is a year old but appreciate it. And I received your apologies in place of the insane dietitians and RNs that treated me and we're outright wrong! I remember being at a training thing for diabetes and they gave us a whole meat sandwich and baked potato chips for lunch 🤦 My sugar shot to 249. What the hell is wrong with the medical! 🤦 community?!
So here's to reboot.
I am so proud of you for taking charge of your health. And I am so sorry what happened to you in your diabetic training. Please continue to stay in touch.
Thanks for the vid. Loved it.
You are welcome!
Thanks for sharing
You are welcome!!
Thank you Shelly.. ❤️
I’m just discovering how to avoid Gluten etc for health reasons
So your channel is very helpful ❤️❤️
You are welcome!!!! Please let me know how I can help in any way!
Thank you for sharing 😊
You are welcome!
@@dietitianshelly I'm so glad I found your channel and watched this video, in particular. You have a huge heart and I admire your passion, truth bombs and reality checks. Enjoy your day 😊
@@PinkiesBrokenWheelchair Aw! You made my day!!!
Amazing ❣️
:)
Great I have NASH & are starting Keto I MUST LOOSE - any thoughts- I’m watching all your videos❤
Make sure to download my menu! It will get you started!!!
Hi Shelly, I just sent an email to get more information. Just didn't want it to go to junk. Thanks.
Sounds great! Will be sure to check! Big hugs!
Thank you for sharing your journey.
Big hugs!!!
Thank you for being honest. As southern women we are taught to be nice and trust the physicians. Yeah, no. Only I can effectively advocate for my health. You can do it nicely but no one else can do it for you. I trust but verify when it comes to the billion dollar healthcare system in the US.
I always tell individuals ‘we know our own body better than anyone!’ - second opinions are absolutely fine! Big hugs!
What would I use for a sweetener in my coffee? I cannot drink coffee without some kind of sweetener in it and what would be a good alternative?
Stevia!
I have cluster headaches and migraines - my mom has said I will be fine in childbirth and I hope she’s right ha
I will be thinking about you!
Plus I have bipolar and this diet is amazing for my manicness
I understand and fully agree! So proud!!
I’ve only just found your channel… what are your thoughts on full fat Greek yogurt, natural with no added sugar? I love my Greek yogurt… thank you for all your advice x
Love it love it!!
Hi Shelly, your story is incredible and inspiring. I am a veteran and am under the care of VA docs…Nothing wrong with that, but def can relate to not being heard. My cholesterol (family genetics) is pretty high which is concerning my doc (who wants to put me on a statin). All other stuff is normal though. In your professional opinion, is Keto the right fit? I’ve spoken to several VA dieticians who are NOT on board with Keto, so it’s hard to know who to believe…Thank you for your time! Great videos and I look forward to watching your future ones!
Hi Chris!!!! Thank you for your service to our country. I can understand the 'fear' of keto - old school keto was 'drinking ranch dressing' and just eating 'neck bones!' If you follow keto with beautiful omega-3 fats (olive oil) it is a wonderful plan! Let me know if you have anymore questions :)
Are your clients able to lower their cholesterol and blood sugar in line with this eating plan?
Yes - very much so since we focus on fiber and omega 3 rich fats.
@@dietitianshelly I have consulted with a plant based nutritionist a couple of months ago and she said no nuts avocados or nut butters. Basically only fruits and vegetables. No oil and only a small amount of grains. I am a small person anyway and did not need to lose weight and I have lost even more weight because I have nothing left to eat. I am so confused!
@@shirleymatos9055 Seems like they took a vegan route with your plan. Do you enjoy it? Are you benefiting from it health and energy wise? If not, you look in the description box and download the menu plan I have!
@@dietitianshelly def the vegan route. I am not enjoying it but I am so afraid to eat meat as I am afraid it will raise my cholesterol and blood sugar more. Do you do online consults?
Suggestions for things other than salad and raw vegetables
If you have an air fryer - veggies are great in the air fryer!
@@dietitianshelly air fryer is on my dream list. I do roast okra in the oven till crispy and love that.
@@tamijoysisemore659 Oh yum!!! Sounds odd but do the same with turnips and radishes!
@@dietitianshelly I have not tried radishes that way, though I cooked them in with a roast. Delish! I don’t like turnips at all but maybe I’ll get brave and try them! I’ve boiled daikon and then made like an augratin potatoes sub with them. I’m. It sure if they would broil well or not
@@tamijoysisemore659 So the turnips scared me too!!! But after cooking them (oven) they came out like French fries!!!
Hi Shelly. I just found your channel & I'm a new subscriber. I love your honesty, openness, spirit & energy. I'm curious as to what your views are, based on research, on children eating a low carb diet, especially those with pre-diabetes?
If they have pre-diabetes - they can follow a low carb diet with no problem!!!! Often, I look to add some good protein they can 'carry' to school and balance out their meals :)
@@dietitianshelly Thanks so much for your response!
What about beans, lentils, and plain old fashioned rolled oats? I'm in my 20s and honestly don't know what the f to eat anymore.
Hi Kitt Katt! Look in the description box and I have an example menu giving you some good ideas on what to eat!
@@dietitianshelly But aren't beans, lentils, and plain old fashioned rolled oats (not the sweetened kind) healthy for you?
@@kittkatt1317 I don’t do oats because of the carb count - would rather lean proteins at breakfast!
I'm glad that works for you but I get mean off carbs
I understand! Hugs!!
Hi Im 20yo ive always had trouble losing weight since 10 yo i gone to nutritionist and such but nothing really worked. I wanna try this diet how do I start?
I also have hourglass shape lol but according to my BMI im overly Obese and I have alway been! Simce little they told me all grow and ill change but im still "obese"
Waist to height ratio is way more important in health standards - it is so sad we still use BMI.

Kind of sounds like my story

I plan on becoming a Dietitian but my views are completely contrary to what they teach to become licensed lol.
Hi! Don't let that stop you! Specialize! Challenge what is taught! You got this!
@@dietitianshelly I’m majoring in PolSci, I know I’ll have to deal with ACEND eventually after I receive my undergrad. But this is want I really want to do!

@@dietitianshelly Back at ya! I'm eating pizza now. Chaffles pizza. I use to teach aerobic's at Shape Spa, back in the 80's. Also sold Herbalife. Diets really have changed for the better!! I'll be watching you. Loving your video's!!
@@011219551 Chaffles!!! Yes!!!! I am making a future video about how chaffles have gone a little coo coo - HA!!!! Love that diet have changed for the better! Thanks for the love! Hugs back at you!
@@dietitianshelly OMG! You're telling MY story about not producing milk for my child! My best friend was nursing her baby girl, her fourth, she also gave me her milk for my son! And your not gonna believe me, her name is Shelly!!! I'll be waiting on your new video. I only add egg & Mozzarella. Then 2 or 3 dabs of pizza sauce, pepperoni. I'm looking for a way to make it, with less carbs, & calories. Mine is still better then ordering one. I eat one like 1 a week. Plus I eat boiled cabbage, 3 days a week. Love that cabbage!!! 😘
@@011219551 about pizza - sometimes I put the pizza ingredients on top of a large portabella mushroom!!! I usually toss the mushroom in a small frying pan for a few minutes to get the water out & then add toppings & microwave or bake to melt the cheese.
Thank you for sharing your story!
you bet! Thank you for watching!!!
