she says keto can lower testosterone or hormones... what do you think a high carb or non keto diet does? it spikes insulin and causes insultin resistance and weight gain and that will lower your hormones.....
Exercise has drug-like effects on the body, as does sleep, coffee, sex-heck even meditation.
For sake of completeness, please make follow warning videos on the harmful side effects on all of the above!
Thanks
My family and I are big supporters of Sarah, buy her books, listen to her podcasts. I have to say I am disappointed with this lecture. There are so many people successful and healthy on keto, let alone people who actually go "zero carb / carnivore (see the Anderson family who are all healthy and eat nothing but ribeye steak every day for 20 years). I do agree that keto is not perfect for everyone. My wife struggles with it an prefers more veggies and fruit. However to warn of keto in this day and age as dangerous and a threat to "most people" is nonsense. I eat very few veggies at all, my diet is mostly eggs and meats with full fat dairy when desired. My blood work has been without issue or deficiencies for over 5 years eating this way. Many plant foods have benefits but also have toxins as natural defense systems and it is well documented the human digestion track does not process fibrous plants as well and animal sourced fats and meat (see Dr. Barry Groves lecture "What we are designed to eat").
While I am not here to promote a carnivore diet or my specific way of eating, many many of us that show initial improvements on primal/paleo style have seen even better improvements with keto diet. Fasting and keto in particular has impressive returns not just in fat loss, but in anti inflammatory markers, hormone regulation (especially insulin sensitivity), and far better sleep patterns.
Very well said. I have nothing to add but just wanted to somehow bookmark your comment. Thank you for sharing. I too have had massive success on keto.
You have been misled by the keto propaganda. Ketogenic diets are unnatural and most likely harmful in the long term. Read Garth Davis' book Proteinaholic, or the works of Dr McDougall, Fuhrman, Kahn, etc.
@@VicHristov How about no. Citing me garbage vegan experts. What a joke.
@@VicHristov Comprehensive quack list you got there! Major propagandists. It's a basic physiological fact that humans react to sugar just like they do to addictive drugs! No such thing for protein or fat. never mind that carbs are NON ESSENTIAL, while the other macronutrients are and they are next to impossible to obtain in the proper ratios and quantities long term without supplementation. Fact denying cult they are!
She is fairly well informed and I would recommend her books. But in certain areas such as this, her views can be rather conventional and not particularly thoughtful.
I was introduced to paleo many many years ago through Sarah, and I love her. Today she's overweight and rather than talk about why paleo has failed her, she's speaking nay on keto. It is laughable. In fact I've seen it all in this business
Yeah... she’s got great science on certain parts of her diet but here, I’ve heard much more convincing science and arguments for less carbs... from people not overweight.
I own and have read some books by Sarah Ballantyine. She does know a lot about many things. But her opinions about the ketogenic diet aren't particularly insightful or useful. There are many far greater experts on this topic.
Great standup comedy! Funny at first I thought this was gonna be a legitimate discussion about the ketogenic diet from an informed speaker but quickly got the joke!
Oh you have got to be kidding me.
It seems like there is quite a bit of correlation and not much causation in her references. While I appreciate the effort to bring potential harms to my attention, I feel like this was not truly an evidence based talk, but subjective fear mongering propaganda. I have no idea what her motives might be, but to discourage the use of keto as a way to improve health seems counter-intuitive to me.
motivation to sell her own books and products.
Bacon Egger bingo!
I personally agree with the notion that the ketogenic diet is not an optimal long term approach for a lot of people. However, my issue with many of the studies highlighting the adverse effects of keto either make no mention of the nutritional makeup of individuals' diets or include terrible sources of nutrition in the form of meal replacement shakes full of poor quality fats and additives. Is it any wonder that kids who followed a ketogenic diet made up of these 'nutrition drinks' instead of a whole foods diet experienced bone loss? There is no clear answer as to whether the drinks or the metabolic state are to blame.
Seriously, "If you were to ask me, I would say that the ketogenic diet is a drug." That is just a nonsense from the get go. As Hippocrates said, Let food be thy medicine... Many foods and many diets have therapeutic or even medicinal value, but to conflate them with alopathic pharmaceuticals is seriously sloppy and incendiary thinking. I am ashamed for the speaker.
The title of this video is clickbait. I am ashamed for you.
She is conflating the deep ketogenic diet originally deployed for epileptics with the modern ketogenic diet used for a variety of purposes. This is just trickery. Shameful trickery. It is grossly misleading to point to "clinical trials" as the reference source for contra-indications and negative outcomes. What clinical trials, funded by whom, employing what interventions, deploying what specific diet, on how large a cohort, for what duration, and in contrast to what control group? None of these details are forthcoming, and the devil is in the details. This is junk analysis of unnamed metadata. Garbage in, garbage out.
"She is conflating the deep ketogenic diet originally deployed for epileptics with the modern ketogenic diet used for a variety of purposes"
What's the difference?
The percentage of fat, carbs, protein
Humans have regularly entering ketosis for hundreds of thousands of years. Consistently and continuously eating large amounts of carbs was not possible until industrial agriculture. Traditional farmers didn't have massive surplus yields. Grains in the past were typically saved for when most needed, not eaten for every meal and multiple snacks throughout the day. Without trying, most humans in the past regularly went into ketosis.
I cured my eczema with the paleo keto diet so I wouldn’t pay much attention to her theories
The Paleo Diet isn't necessarily ketogenic, though.
To the ketards who are knocking her about her weight, make sure you take a look at Jimmy Moore.
I just wasted a good half hour reading a few of the extracts available.First in Kang et al., the children's overall mortality was the same as normal population and nowhere in the abstract did they attribute these deaths to the diet. Most epileptics also have other medical issues including sudden death. Second, the inuit study clearly states that the gene mutations effect is on a newborns ability to produce ketones not adults. Third, in the gut microbiome study, in the abstract, it footnotes another study done on rats with "milk fat." to explain the gut microbiome changes. Fear mongering click bait! Although she does have a point that ketogenic diets can be unhealthy for some people, throwing out bullshit interpretations of studies and pretending that their is scientific consensus because she says "we know" all the time is just disgusting. Where is her proof for all these maladies associated with a ketogenic diet? But don't believe me, read it for yourself.
I’ve been on the keto diet and intermittent fasting for about 26 days. I did it specifically for the neurological benefits according to science. . I’m not sure if it’s helping yet as I’m probably still becoming fat adapted. I have lost a bunch of fat and gained muscle. Ive been exercising pretty much everyday. I’ve eaten more vegetables on this diet than I ever did before. I think it’s important to differentiate junk keto from a keto diet that includes lots of healthy vegetables. I’m not sure if I will stay on keto long term and cycle in and out of ketosis or end up more paleo but I’m so glad I tried this. I had already seen health benefits prior to keto from going gluten free.
Nice. I've been doing it for years. I love it. After a long time, I became really flexible, metabolically. I can eat a lot of foods that I couldn't the first 6 months or year and stay in ketosis. I also try to eat seasonally, so if beets or grapes from my garden or or even a little cheat here and there knocks me out? So what? I'll be back in tomorrow. I'm probably in ketosis 85-90% of the time. Fasting also helps you stay in with a bit more of the old carbs (or at least what feels like more).
Rob Lovegreen try getting rid of the toxic veggies and you will see even more improvements
That being said by a overweight, insulin resistant lady...
She has lost 120 pounds you body shaming ignorant dimwit.
@@cammieklund do you claim that she looks healthy and not overweight, Cammi? Because that would be delusional. It's only expected that a person speaking about diets looks healthy, or is that too much to ask for you?
@@VicHristov little bit late, not relevant anymore, but this is how woman looked actually before the skinny female era, females where never thin, not like today. So to say this is unhealthy makes no sense
Dr. Ballantyne's pie chart at 10:30 into the presentation is a bit misleading. It shows that the epileptic children being treated received a 75% fat diet but at a 25% reduction of calories. If these children were to receive a full maintenance level calorie diet (or considering the contribution of their own body fat in this case) (TDEE) then that is more like an 81% fat diet. The ketogenic diet formulations used for most of the studies referenced used the 3:1 or even the 4:1 Fat grams to (Carb grams + Protein grams) protocol, which resulted in up to a 92% fat diet with extremely low protein. This may instead explain the children's failure to thrive. Treating severe epilepsy was determined to outweigh the other negative issues described by Dr. Ballantyne.
However, the "original" ketogenic diet for the therapeutic treatment of epilepsy is not the same as the "properly formulated ketogenic diet" for otherwise healthy adults. Although these studies are interesting and important, they are perhaps not entirely applicable for most people.
Got her name from another channel who quoted her findings on his video. After I checked out all the potential side effects she said were possible from keto, had to look her up. Here she refers to the keto diet as a "drug", I now see why her side effect list is so extensive. Curious as to what or if there are any long term (10+ years) to this diet.
Weight/no weight, she doesn't look like a vibrant healthy person. She moves in that stiff, cumbersome manner of a slow moving stifled body.
@Zoe Vox did you watch the video? It isn't about being a dancer. It's about physical movement. She moves like someone unfamiliar with movement, as in overweight and physically weak. Keto and fasting have failed her. Or she failed. Either way, your remark is without foundation. Thought, instead of knee jerk reactions, won't fail you.
Very sad. This woman has serious thyroid problems and has gained some weight despite her Paleo/Keto lifestyle.
I think she needs to look again at her own health issues which have almost certainly been impacted by the drugs she needs, compounded by the inevitable changes which happen womens' bodies as we age.
I have had serious medical issues since birth and can genuinely say that the Keto lifestyle has significantly improved my quality of life.
One size does not fit all and in my case I've found that the more "extreme" I am in restricting carbohydrates, the better I feel physically and mentally. It's not even that hard once you get over the extreme idea of not feeling hungry at all(ever).
There is no real medical support for this lifestyle, so we need to experiment on ourselves to a certain degree and carry out a lot of research in order to make it work on a personal level.
I suspect Keto will prevail and I hope that this very clever lady will find a way to deal with her latest health crisis before she shares any more of her theories. (Which I'm sure will be far more constructive than what has been proposed here).
You have been misled by the keto propaganda. I myself was, it's often hard to get the facts straight. I recommend you take a look at actual experts' books: read Dr Garth Davis Proteinaholic book, or follow Dr John McDougall, or Joel Fuhrman, or Joel Kahn. You'll be shocked.
Why would you promote taking a drug when you can correct it with diet ?
She says that Ketogenic diet is almost a non vegetable diet? At least not the modern one! With all respect to her, I'm confused! We are not at Atkins times anymore! Any comments?
Not atkins (that is mainly protein) keto is mainly fat, very little anything else.
It's a misunderstanding to say that a keto diet is low on veggies, due to carbs making up just 5% of the diet. I eat WAY more veggies than I ever did on my 'healthy' carb-centric diet. (7 cups of low carb vegetables daily.)
truthnfreedomseeker Hi. Seven cups at the beginning or did you work up to that. Thank you.
Hi Lenore Paletta. I ate 7 cups pretty much right from the beginning. You'd be surprised how easy it is to consume heaps of veggies! Vegetables take the place of other carbs you would normally have on your plate, like rice or pasta. (Measure before cooking). I eat lots of green leafy vegetables (kale, spinach, bok choy, chard and all varieties of lettuce), as well as cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, bell pepper, onion, eggplant, zucchini, celery, green beans, asparagus, mushrooms, tomatoes, sprouts, and occasionally kumara, pumpkin or squash. So good, and so healthy!
truthnfreedomseeker thanks for your speedy reply.
Keto friendly vegetables have high oxalate levels which cause kidney stones. Spinach is especially high
I just have one question, how can someone so overweight and inflamed can preach about nutrition and have such big audience?
Wow. Body-shame much? Just because someone has found success in their lives doesn’t mean they are above all human health struggles! Sheesh! Also, fitness looks different on everyone. I know ultra runners who are bigger than she is.
I do agree that the keto=drug premise is very disappointing. It should have been stated with a much more tentative tone. I don’t understand why this intelligent person would state something so clumsily. Perhaps discovering all of this seemed so urgent that time was not given to develop a better lecture.
Answer this Question !Mrs chubby Paleo ! how many people have died from being on a ketgenic diet ?
Probably many have died from toxic keto. But they cant complain any more. There are many studies showing that low carb increases all cause mortality. Reason enough to stay away from keto crap!
I'm butthurt that anyone dares to say anything bad about keto, so I'm going to comment on the speaker's appearance, nitpick semantics, counter with anecdotes, and avoid listening, let alone looking up any of the evidence presented, because I'm more fragile than a vegan and can't tolerate any information that challenges my worldview, because it feels threatening.
So... it's too much to expect a leading expert on dieting to look healthy?
@@VicHristov I don't see where her appearance has anything to do with the information she is sharing. You don't have to be skinny to be knowledgable about nutrition. I'm a historian...I can lecture about medieval migration but I didn't live through it personally. I don't care what diet you follow. If you thrive on keto..good for you...but just because it works great for a lot of people doesn't mean it works for everyone and I think thats the point.
@@VicHristov looking healthy and actually being healthy is completely different. And skinny should NEVER be equal to healthy.
Why do her channel disable comments?
Looks like she needs to go on a ketogenic diet.
At the very least some IF
Yeah... Like Jimmy Moore?
She's lost over 120pounds and has a auto-immune disease pal.
It is of course good to keep the mind open for all opinions and speak last.....it is very strange to have pancreatitis from a low carb diet..I can somewhat dive into the idea of some kidney stones and potential gout incidence (for high meat consumers) but that is only in case people do it wrongly without taking in the right amount of green vegetables..Otherwise, with all the due respect, considering that keto absolutely excludes sweets, processed carbs like bread and anything which is with sugars....In more liberal versions it permits some rice, even some legumes and, rarely, if at all, some limited amounts of sweet fruits (depending on the person and goal), dear Sarah, please enlighten us, how the white bread, sugar and sweet dried fruits (consumed in qty most people do today) would keep me away from pancreatitis, kidney stones ?? It seems to me that either you have not prepared this lecture very well, or you do not know what is allowed on keto diet or maybe you are sponsored to speak on behalf of some opinionated people with larger wallets :( Apologies for being direct, but unless you document your theory, with medical explanations (what actually happens in the body reaction by reaction), we can't believe you because we all feel great and we don't have cravings for sweets...
Ludmila Barbei stones are caused by plant foods high in oxalates not meat
Just want to say, I think she looks beautiful ☺️
Very interesting. If anyone is confused about the ApoE carrier comment, she is obviously referring to those who carry the e4 version of the gene. This fits well with previous indications that these people may benefit more from the traditional dietary advice to not go overboard with fats.
I am APPE4 and benefit greatly from the ketogenic diet. Have been on it for 3+ years. What she is talking about is greatly faulty
Does she even know what she's talking about?
she has a phd...do you?
What does having a PhD have anything to do it? Like saying he’s a priest, he’d never molest a child.
@@pam2436 yeah, a PhD means nothing to the ignorant
Wow. She is overweight. Poster girl for going ON a serious keto diet. Serious.
Indeed P! That is another thing I noticed lol
She used to be 253lb but lost most when she went paleo. She has a thyroid disease she medicated for for around 15 years, but has overcome it with her paleo autoimmune diet. Someone might not know your history and make a claim that your skin turgor looks really bad for someone in her 50/60's. That person might put it down to your diet but not realise that it was actually due to you living in africa for 20 years in full sun, farming the land. Get a grip and stop being so jugemental. Fact is fact. If she is giving fact, be intelligent enough to listen to it and not so petty as to believe that overweight people can't tell the truth. hahah. what a joke.
Sorry, but in her case the two are over-lapping.
Ill informed video.
So we have a very chubby person [if I looked like that I'd be T2D], who makes her living via self-promotion, assuring us that a diet that has helped thousands of people lose weight, lower blood sugar, and change their lives ... is "dangerous." What's wrong with this picture?
She is talking about facts. People don't like facts.i would like to see one of the negative comments bring up facts and studies not done by the meat industry to counteract her conclusions. Remember Atkins died of a heart attack. Same information that Dr Dean ornish, Dr. Esseltyn and, Dr campbell have discussed. Your choosing not to listen which is fine, it's your business and your body.
He died from slipping and falling on ice.
A propaganda machine working hard. But its fine that is Sarah
oink oink
The only person in danger of suicide is this woman's husband...
this coming from someone overweight - FAT - is not encouraging. Sorry, but Paleo doesn't work. Keto does. Maybe you should do Keto and lose all that weight.
Paleo does work for weight loss, both do to claim is does not is crazy when there are many online and a Marks daily apple with their stories.
You are no one - She has lost 120 pounds you bodyshaming dimwit!
Chubby woman trying to give out dieting lifestyle advice? No thanks.
